MUFON Case # 45451
Location: San Antonio, Texas
Date of Sighting: 01-20-2013
Time of Sighting: 12:00AM
Object Shape: Orb, Oval, Disc   
Summary: Observed five cirle shaped objects fly overhead while changing formation

Report:
While outside a live music venue having a cigarette, I noticed what I thought were five white balloons flying across the sky. Made a joke with my wife about flying balloon UFOs. As I said this, the five objects which were flying in line equidistant from each other, moved into a delta formation. This was not happenstance as inline object #4 moved to left of formation, circled across front of object#1 and to its right into position #2 to #1s right. At the same time, inline object #2 followed same flight path as #4, but came back into formation behind #4. Inline objects #3 & 5 closed ranks once #2 & 4 changed position so that they were now parallel with #2 & 4 in a delta formation behind #1. While this formation change happened, none of the objects ever slowed down their forward movement.

Objects came from behind Crown Plaza area. Forward flight path as observed, was looking south, to the right of Crown Plaza, flying north almost directly overhead of 107 E. Martin, continuing north past Convent St., until out of view.

Looking on a st map of the area. Observed overhead flight path appeared to originate somewhere around or before E Pecan St & Soledad, and continued in a northerly direction towards where Giraud & Augusta Sts intersect. Observable portion of path was limited to sky visible while standing between 107 E. Martin and Riverwalk. I lost sight of objects due to them fading out as if someone decided to turn a fader light switch off. Fade out took about 2-3 seconds. The sky was clear on this night, nor were the final observation of the objects obstructed by trees or buildings.

MUFON Case # 45387
Location: San Antonio, Texas
Date of Sighting: 01-23-2013
Time of Sighting: 3:35 PM
Object Shape: Orb, Oval, Disc   
Summary: Spinning Ballon Type UFO

Report:
Stepped out on the back porch (Aransas Ave. & Barlow St.) looked north in the sky (looking for birds) and observed what I first thought was a silver or white balloon or possibly a plastic bag floating skyward. Noticed the object moved more slowly than a balloon or plastic bag caught in a breeze would and it seemed to be moving with a purpose of direction. It also seemed to be flipping/spinning or pulsating. I watched the object move slowly upwards and to the NE/NNE at slow speed. I scanned the area for other aircraft and could see none (unusual beacuse I live in the flight path of the International Airport). Thought about calling the Airport but I decided to see how long I could watch this thing, took about 10 minutes before it vanished from sight totally. Winds were light out of the south and there were a few clouds.

Need a tow? Scientists Create Tractor Beam

* NEWS!*

A beam of light shines down upon you and next thing you know, your 100 miles up, on an alien ship.  It could happen!  Scientists have created a tractor beam, right out of Star Trek.

Scientists Create Small-Scale Star Trek Tractor Beam

Torontostandard.com-

The UFO hovers above. The crowd rushes to escape as the ship’s doors open, emitting a bright green laser that pulls everything in its path up and into the spacecraft.
Once a thing of pure science fiction, physicists have now created a small-scale real-life tractor beam that can move tiny objects towards a source without physically touching them.
New York University physicists David Ruffner and David Grier set out to experiment with tractor beams after a Chinese research team concluded that using a single laser called a Bessel beam, it should be possible to move particles in a tractor beam manner.

Now when someone says they saw a cow being lifted up into a space ship, it's not so crazy after all.  Right? -SW

Light Captured on Game Camera In Nixon, Texas

*

MUFON Case #     45338
Location: Nixon. Texas
Date of Sighting: 12/28/2012
Time of Sighting: 12:00 UTC
Viewing Distance: 501 Feet - 1 Mile
Object Flight Path: Path with directional change
Object Shape: Circle, Triangle
Summary: Captured on game cam; first seen as triangle, then solid white light.
Report:
Location: Nixon, TX Date on game camera is correct; time is not. If deer had not triggered game cam the UFO would no doubt have passed unobserved. Total elapsed time: UFO at 6:31 on first photo. Faint glimpse in second photo, just barely on left edge of tree at 6:47 on second photo. Solid glowing light at 7:09 on third photo. Total minutes before game cam cycled back to inactive 38 minutes. The pictures taken before these on the same sd card show deer and coons, but no light. The game cam has taken dozens of pictures prior to this incident, from the same mounted position; no light or reflections have ever been recorded before. My first thought was that someone was headlighting. But the third picture shows the light to be above any human height. In the third picture, the light appears to be in front of the small tree; however, a look at picture number two indicates the tree is bent to the right, enabling the UFO to be seen as in front of the tree, but actually just as it bends away from it. Picture number one seems to verify reports of triangular UFO's with three lights underneath. Unknown why there is a solid light in the third photo. I have no explanation for the lights on the game camera. A reasonable conjecture is made that it is not an airplane due to the time lapse.

Photo Captures Beam of Light in New Port Richey, Florida

Photo showing beam of light.

Image cropped and enlarged.

*


Location: New Port Richey, FL
Date: November 23, 2012
Time: Approx. 8:30 PM

I received an email and photo from a lady in New Port Richey, Florida.  After receiving the email, I called her to discuss the photo.

On the Friday after Thanksgiving 2012 the witness was lounging alone by a fire in her back yard, when she decided to take some photos with her Samsung Gravity II Smart Phone.  She took approximately 20 photos from different angles.  The anomaly did not show up in any other photos.

"I caught this picture the Friday after Thanksgiving 2012 New Port Richey, FL.  This was taken in my back yard.  I took several photos to attempt to reproduce the same effect, but was unable to."

It appears that the source of the beam of light is well above the ground but the photographer did not see, hear, or sense anything above her.  The beam does not flare, or taper; it has straight, clean edges and does appear to reach the ground.  It seems to be beyond the photographer's foot, well past the campfire.

The photographer also said that she submitted this photo to a paranormal (spirit-related) website but never received a response.  In my opinion, this anomaly does not appear to be spirit related, however, I feel it is more likely to be UFO related.

If you are in the New Port Richey/Tampa, Florida area and have seen a similar anomaly, witnessed a UFO during the Thanksgiving 2012 holiday, or have had other UFO or paranormal sightings, please contact me. -Sunny

LITS Investigator Videos Triangle Object Over Three Rivers, Texas

*

On the morning of Wednesday, January 16, 2013, a South Texas investigator for Lights in the Texas Sky had their own sighting of a triangle-shaped UFO.

Here is that report, video and photos.


Location: Three Rivers, Texas
Date of Sighting: Jan.16,2013
Time of Sighting: 6:50 am
Object characteristics: Triangle, Light
Sky conditions: very calm,no breeze, very light clouds
Direction: looking to the southeast, starting 10 degrees above the horizon and ending 20 degrees above the horizon

Report:
Just after sunrise, I stepped outside to use my cellphone and noticed a bright light in the SE.  It obviously was not a star.

The object moved about the speed of an airplane, pausing and changing directions after each pause.  At one point the object must have tilted because it appeared to be triangular with a white light on each corner.

I realized this was not a plane and ran into the house to get my camera.  There was no sound or vibration.

The rest of the sighting it appeared to just be a bright sphere.  Time would not allow me to observe any longer.

I ran into the house to get my keys and upon return (a matter of seconds),  there was no sign of the object in the sky.  I carried my camera with me the rest of the morning but saw nothing.

MUFON Case # 45207
Allen, Texas
01-14-2013
9:07 PM    
Cloaked/ Invisible Disc no noise clear night low several witness!

Report:
My wife and I were on the backyard porch in Allen tx facing east north east on when all of the sudden we saw a very low fly almost invisible disc. The only reason it was spotted was because of a airplane flying by and lights reflected on the disc. Once spotted and plane passed it was very very hard to follow and see. This thing blended in so good to clear night sky it was eerie. we watched over the trees head east south-east in silence. I ran to our 8ft fence and climbed up watching pass. As it got overhead we could see under belly of this craft..it was spinning fast and still so hard to see.We could clearly see outline of craft but middle looked like hollow a ring see right through. The material was dull. This lasted maybe 1-2 mins not super fast and in one directional path and height. We ran to front to try and follow but once eyes were off it would be near impossible to pick up again. I could talk more but just want to see if any one else picked up. Very populated city this craft is flying over.

Triangle UFO Over Cedar Park, Texas 1-12-2013

Drawing by witness.

A witness in Cedar Park, Texas reported to MUFON, of having seen a triangle UFO.

Here is that unedited report.

MUFON Case # 45199
Cedar Park, Texas
01-12-2013
7:09PM    
Black Triangle Craft Hovered Then Took Off In Matter of Seconds.    

Report:
Went out in my backyard for about ten minutes and started to head inside but right when I started to go inside, I heard something humming behind me. Looked behind me to find a giant black triangle shaped craft hovering above the powerlines behind my house.

I first noticed the object through a relfection on my screen door so I turned around and the craft just hovered above the powerlines behind my house. It had a few windows around it and a small beam of light shot down from the middle below the craft.

The object of course was black in color and shaped as a triangle, about four giant circular lights below the craft all completely white in color, then the middle of the light shot down this large beam of yellow light down onto the powerlines affecting my cellphone.
It had about maybe five windows on the front side but I saw absolutely no one on board until the craft changed dirrections. I then saw about ten small four feet tall figures aboard the craft looking down at either the controls inside the craft, down at the powerlines, or down at me.

I felt completely shocked that I saw this actually happen for once, so once it started leaving I followed it until the fence cut me off in my yard then I just continued staring at it until it left in fast speed.

Lost sight of the craft once I was cut off at the fence in my backyard.
Havent seen anything since.

Multiple Witnesses See Lights Over Casa Grande, AZ

Multiple witnesses in Casa Grande, Arizona report UFO sightings to MUFON.


Here are those unedited reports.

MUFON Case # 45241
Casa Grande, Arizona
01-15-2013
Second sighting of bright lights over Casa Grande in same location as yesterday, but three lights were seen.

Report:
Went out the back door heading for the arena to put away the horses feed bins. My dogs went with me. Stepped out on the patio and lit a cigarette. Told the dogs to go do their thing, and they scampered off. Turned to face the arena (southwest of me)and immediately noticed two very bright lights very close together about 8 to 10 degrees above the horizon.

At first I thought they were attached to an approaching aircraft, as I live in the landing path of both Sky Harbor and Phoenix-Mesa Gateway airports, but the lights were coming in on an entirely different heading than usual. Then thought they may be from yet another military helicopter, as several had passed directly overhead late that afternoon and evening. The National Guard Training Grounds are directly east of me here, so that wasnt too unusual.

I turned my attention to the dogs for a few seconds, still curious about the lights, as I couldnt hear the normal noise the helicopters always make. I looked back toward the lights and discovered that another pair, identical to the first ones, had appeared about 10 degrees to the right of the originals. The new ones seemed to be at the same altitude as the lights I had first noticed, but at a slightly greater distance from me. What I mean is, they were slightly lower in the sky and just a very little bit smaller.

The next thing I noticed was that they were seemingly stationary, or at least moving extremely slowly for an aircraft close enough to see the landing lights on that well, plane or chopper.

I proceeded down the steps into the yard, gathered the bins, put them inside the door of the shed, and went back up the steps. This takes between 80 and 90 seconds (I later timed it twice.) I turned to see the lights again from the same position on the patio that I had first seen them, and realized they had not moved at all in that length of time.

I continued to watch them for perhaps 15 seconds, when they began to move, in formation, descending fairly quickly to the right at about a 40 to 45 degree angle. Puzzled, I rationalized that they must be helicopters, to be able to come down sideways like that in unison, because the lights never seemed to turn away from being pointed directly, or very nearly so, towards my position. I estimated, at first, that they were about 3 or 4 miles away. I was still bothered by the fact that they made no sound, but convinced myself that it may have been muted by the extremely rare cold weather here at the time.

As soon as I sure that they were choppers, I was immediately un-convinced because 2 REAL military helicopters passed rapidly by my house, one from the east and the other from the north. I could see their red and green FAA navigation lights and the white strobes on both tails. They met up southwest of my place, the one from the north falling in behind the one from the east, and both turned to head southwest, toward the descending lights.

The choppers were about four miles from me when the bright lights dipped below the crest of the ridge out in the desert to my southwest. The choppers continued on their course, and also disappeared past the ridge. I could still hear the choppers for some time after I could no longer see them.

I watched for awhile to see what else would happen, but it was too cold to stay out long. Put out my cigarette and took the dogs in. When my wife arrived home from work, I mentioned the event to her, and she thought it must be some kind of military maneuvers, as she had seen several choppers flying nearby our property also.

I checked your 20 latest sighting reports, and found the reports from Casa Grande today. If these reports were of the same lights I saw (same direction, same color, same date and time)then they were HUGE to be seen at that distance from my position with the apparent size of an aspirin (viewed edge-on)!

I am former military (radar), not a youngster, and my father (USAF) was a pilot. Believe me when I tell you, these lights were STRANGE!

MUFON Case # 45237
Casa Grande, Arizona
01-14-2013    
Four bright objects in a horizontal line hovering above Casa Grande. All lights went out and then two lights went back on west of original sighting and then disappeared.

Report:
I was a passenger in a car heading West on Cottonwood LN, when I noticed Four bright objects in a straight horizontal line. This occurred approximately 1930 hours. These lights were in a vicinity where there are no tall structures and way too high. These objects were far right of Casa Grande Mountain which have red tower lights. I knew at this point these objects did not belong there. After a few minutes the lights disappeared. Two lights reappeared in a westward direction hovering, what looked like over the electrical power plant, but further back. The two lights were higher than the red lights on top of the power plant. Also, I was able to see a jet airliner going in a northeastern direction with its navigation lights on many thousands of feet above the hovering lights. A few minutes later both lights disappeared in place.

I figured that the objects were UFOs because I saw no navigation lights, heard no sound (maybe because of the distance)and where I saw them.

MUFON Case # 45235    
Casa Grande, Arizona
01-15-2013    
cylindrical shape hovering above local dump appearing and reappearing

Report:
It was 8:00pm on 1-15-2013 I was getting myself a drink and our neighbors kid came over talking about lights in the Skye. I told him probably flares or an airplane flying low. But as we went outside he spotted the lights just across the street had an orange yellow glow about it. It hovered in the area for about 10 minutes and the lights disappeared. 5 minutes later the lights appear again this time lower than before. The lights would dim in and out randomly before totally disappearing completely. During this event me and the neighbors kid tried our best to get as close to the area where the object was. We listened for sound (was none) as excited & stunned to see this event my immediate thought was call local police and see about how they can look in to the event. I was told by dispatch to report it to a UFO website. And I did. After the object was no longer visible I contacted MUFON Arizona for the report.

Sky Sounds Over Ontario, Canada

*

I received an email today, from a woman in Ontario, Canada.

On January 8, 2013, at about 1:30 a.m., she heard a sound from the sky.  Here is her unedited report:

Hello I'm writing you because I too heard this VERY loud humming noise wed jan 8th 2013 at about 1:30 am I was sleeping and this noise woke me up, the only thing is that when I heard it I wanted to move but I just couldn't it felt like I was paralyzed for a few seconds, when I actually sat up in bed the noise still lasted another aprox 10 seconds , this was a humming, rumbling , trumpet , screeching sound noise. It was something I've never heard my whole life,it sounds like it was coming from the sky. I looked out the window and all I saw was what looked like a star. I called my cousin who lives 5 min way and she said she isn't hear anything. I then googled it and Found many videos on ex actually the  noises I heard, the only difference is that it was much much louder. I was so scared to fall asleep, I just didn't wanna hear that noise again. By the time I fell asleep it was around 4 am.

I had to be up at 7 am tat miring for work. When I got up I still could not believe hat I heard, a one point I thought maybe something was wrong with me. When I finally got into work I wasn't sure if I  should ask other people if they had heard any noises at  round 1:30 am that morning, I not want people thinking I was crazy if they didn't. But I had to ask, I wanted to know if I was going crazy or if it was real, so I asked, and yes there was 4 others that heard he same noise. I played one videos I found, and he confirmed yes, that was to The same sound. Now he question is... If all these videos are captured all over the world with this same strange loud noise coming I assume from the sky over the past few yrs, then why is there no word on it, in the media.?.. Do you have any word on these events, or have you heard more of see noises. I'm so scared I'm gonna hear them again.
Thank you

Strange Jet sound in the Sky?

By racebyu

Strange Jet sound in the sky Wed Jan 9, 2013 @ 2:15pm Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
We heard it at the front of the building for a few minutes, then got louder but no planes seen in the sky? Went out front then to the back to see where it was coming from but could not get a exact location in the sky, total time of event was approx y 5 min. Walked down the back to see if I could locate in the sky where it was coming from but no luck. Volume warning on the wind noise when I start walking along the back of the buildings.

- No planes in site.
- No heavy equipment around.
- Not the wind (heard when walking only)
- Lasted 5 min or more so no military jets sound would not last that long.
- Temp was 4C out today so sound travel due to very cold weather not related.
- Camera was pointed in the direction of which I thought the sound was coming from.

What was it? Who knows but there was 3 of us that went outside to see if it was a military jet or some other huge airplane which it did not seem to be...........

Note: The audio level is much lower when uploaded to You Tube, it was much louder then represented here in the video.

MUFON Case # 45031
Cotulla, TX
2012-07-06
10:04PM
Hovering disk like craft with 3 lights hovering about a foot or less off the ground.    

Report:
My father works in an oil company here in Texas, and they had noticed that some people were taking the crude oil in the night. So they started putting cameras up around the areas. One night one camera caught a UFO. The news had spread throught the workers and they soon emailed to my father. My father had sent it to me and now Im posting it here on mufon. When I saw the picture I couldnt believe how the shape was, it was what I had expected. More so since it was also hovering off the ground. I was used to different ufos mainly because I have seen some since I was a kid. It really got to me that I now have proof of the existence of these entities.

Note:  I have to say that this is one of the best security cam UFO captures I've seen.  It appears to be authentic.  What do you think? -Sunny

Pterosaur Sighting In North Carolina, Jan. 3, 2013

Depiction of the flying cryptid as describe by witness.

I received an email from a gentleman in North Carolina, who had an amazing experience to share.  Here is his unedited report.:

January 3, 2013, 9:30 AM
Charlotte, North Carolina

I can't believe what I just saw @ around 930 this morning. I can only describe its? ? as a dragon or flying dinosaur. I was coming home from the store. As I turned into my neighbor I saw this large dark colored flying animal. At first i thought it was a volture. However, I notice that it had pointed wings and a long tail that was skinny and had a pointed shape at the end of it like a triangle or something the creature appeared to have something in its mouth. I couldn't believe what I was seeing and it I lost sight of it as it passed over the trees. It took me a minute to try and figure out what it was that I saw and the only thing I could think of it the time was to call my wife and to try and turn the car around to see if I could find it again and try capture a picture of it. I don't know what it was that I saw but I hope I see it again and have enough time to get my phone out to videotape it. Has anybody else in this area reported scene anything like this? I'm in Charlotte North Carolina.

Im still in shock & I hope I see it again because I will be ready the next time. I still can't believe what I saw but no one can make me disbelieve it. I dont drink, smoke, or do drugs. I was very alert as I witnessed it. Please feel free to keep me posted on any new sightings in the area. Especially if someone captures it on photo or film.

[Name withheld by SW/LITS]

   *
NOTE:

I spoke again with the witness through email.  He said that the weather was cloudy, in the 40s (F) and he too wondered how a supposedly cold blooded creature  could be flying on such a day.  Perhaps they aren't cold blooded after all?

The earliest vertebrates known to have evolved powered flight, were the Pterosaurs (winged lizards). Their wings were a membrane of skin, muscle, and tissues stretching from the ankles to a lengthened fourth finger. It has been determined that early species had long, fully toothed jaws and long tails, while later forms had much shorter tails, or almost none at all.  Also, some of the later species lacked teeth.

The best known are the Pterodactylus, that lived 220 to 65 million years ago.  Some believe they still exist and I am beginning to agree.  Are people actually seeing Pterosaurs?  Well, people are definitely seeing something and they have been given a name, Ropen.

I suspect Pterosaurs are much like vultures, eating mostly carrion but like pelicans, they probably eat fish scooped up from the water in their large bills.  Also, like most predatory "birds", they would likely be opportunists.  In other words, they will go after anything small enough to fit in their mouths, a dog, a cat, a child... 

It's said that in Papua New Guinea, Ropens glow with a bio-luminescence and eat more than fish and clams.  They've been see to carry off both living and dead humans. 
http://www.ropens.com/grave/

There is a possibility of a breeding population, or perhaps they are from another dimension, crossing over into our world in search of food?  I lean more towards creatures existing in this world, living and surviving, mostly hidden from our sight.

Between Pterosaurs and sightings of small T-Rex-type creatures (the Four Corners area where Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico meet), it's beginning to sound like "Jurassic Park" has run amok!

If you have had a sighting, whether it pertains to flying dinosaurs or other cryptids, or unidentified flying objects (UFOs), or aliens, please report it.  Thank you.  -Sunny Williams/LITS
