Witness Reports Observing Mothership and Smaller Craft Over Milford, Michigan

The witness reports having seen a possible "mothership" and smaller craft, over Milford, Michigan.

This report was submitted to MUFON.
The report is unedited.


MUFON Case #51408    
Location of Sightiong: Milford, MI
Date of Sighting:      10-08-2013
Summary: mother ship hovering. many orbs flying around.

Report:
On Oct. 8th. 2013 at approx . 8:15pm saw a bright object below the crescent moon. Then observed several orbs brightly lit around the bright object. Drove towards Milford on Pontiac trail and stopped at a field in Wixom, exited the vehicle and stood in a field and watched for approx. a half hour as what I would describe as the mother ship hovered in position while as many as ten different orbs would fly around it.
There was a large amount of planes and helicopters around this area. I watched as the mothership would descend in the flash of a second and then hover stationary. Many little orbs (they looked about the size and brightness of a satellite ) flew around the mothership (usually in pairs of two or three) A second witness that was also looking at ufo stated that it appears two of the ships were firing at each other via a beam of light.
I looked to the north where ships were reported as shooting at each other. I observed the orbs in question but did not observe any shooting of rays. i observed orbs get brighter then disappear in a flash. When I looked where the mothership was.... it was gone.
The incident lasted about forty minutes. It did appear as if the u.f.os were engaging each other or engaging planes and helicopters in the vicinity.
A poster from Royal Oak ( several cities east of my location) stated he watched what appeared to be a helicopter shoot down a ufo that fell from the sky. around same time frame.
Drove west of my location from Wixom to Milford trying to observe more. But to no avail.
When I returned home I observed a very low flying airplane (just above tree line) never saw a plane flying that low. The whole event was quite amazing.

MUFON Case # 44818
Location: Stephenville, Texas
Date of Event:     12/01/2012
Time of Event:  12:00 UTC
Viewing Distance: Over One Mile
Object Flight Path: Stationary
Object Shape: Circle
Summary: Lights appeared in order across the sky then vanished. Definitely not an airplane.

Report:
Outside at the ranch working in the garage. Looked out and noticed 2 off-yellow lights in the sky. 1st thought it was one of our charter planes, but the light vanished and two other larger lights appeared next to each other a little higher. One light would vanish and another one would appear next to it. It spread across the sky then vanished. Clear night. I was downwind. No sound and there was nothing there after the lights vanished. My uncle, who has seen the lights out here before, saw them that night too. I knew it was not a plane. I used to sell planes and my father is a pilot. I quickly realized this was something off. I was amazed by what I saw. A week later my dad saw something similar, except they were multiple color. Were horizontal, went verticle, and them vanished. Something strange is going on in Stephenville.

     *

Stephenville is in the Brownwood MOA (FAA definition of Military Operations Area), so could people actually be seeing flares being dropped by jets?

"But there was no sound."  The flares ejected by the jets can be seen for many miles, thus witnesses may see the flares but not see or hear the jets, unless they are within a very few miles of the operation.
I'm not stating definitively, that what the witness saw were flares but it is a possibility.  -Sunny

MUFON Case # 44758
Location: Allen Park, Michigan
Date of Sighting: 12/22/2012
Time of Sighting: 04:00 UTC
Viewing Distance: Over One Mile
Object Features: Patterned Surface
Object Flight Path: Stationary
Object Shape:     Chevron, Disc
Summary: Cloudy look w an engineered shape having short chevron lights that hovered and became less transparent as a fighter jet fast approached it.

Report:
My friend was driving and noticed colors in the sky. He pointed them out to me bc they seemed to rest on the edge of only one big cloud, even though there were numerous clouds forming a ring around the sun. I initially thought it was a rainbow effect due to moisture in the air. Nevertheless I couldnt look away because it awed me how the lights were chevron & vertical in pattern and had distinctive edges on the top and bottom giving it a height much shorter than a rainbow is in length. We were traveling on allen road away from oakwood blvd toward outer drive when we noticed it. We turned right onto outer drive and the lights were ahead of us on our left side as we drove on outer drive. As we approached it, we noticed a fighter jet flying at high speed directly at the cloud w lights. The jet entered the scene about 2 minutes after we first spotted the strange lights. The lights were partially transparent or had an intensity less than they did when the jet was nearest the ufo. As we drove closer, the lights became more solid and were nothing like a rainbow effect at all. Just as the fighter jet was within hundreds of feet of the ufo, it vanished! The jet hung around for another ten seconds or so before it flew away at high speed again.

Explosion in NW Louisiana not a meteor, or ammo explosion

Video Link

*

There is a coverup going on in Louisiana and it appears to be on the scale of the Roswell conspiracy.

Monday, October 15 at 11:30 p.m., an explosion rattled the small town of Minden, in Webster Parish, Louisiana. Before the explosion, witnesses report seeing lights and flashes in the sky, including low flying fighter jets.   One witness saw a strange craft and reported it to MUFON.  That report is included below.

Local Webster Parish Sheriff Gary Sexton said, "Definitely had something happen."  He added, " that all the explosion manufacturing facilities and natural gas facilities in Webster Parish are ruled out as a cause."

The local meteorologist goes on to refute the meteor theory, saying, "Checking with the National Weather Service, if it were a meteor, and yes we are in a meteor shower period, the Orionids, but I don't think there would be a piece of that, that would make it to the earth without vaporizing.  But if it did, radar did not pick up a streak, which it normally would."

He goes on to say, "But, we had an eye witness report who left her home in Dixie Inn, to drive to find whatever it was that hit and she reported ashes falling onto her car but they were heavy enough that they sounded like small hail. The weather service did confirm right after that explosion, their radar picked up what would be called a low cloud, or a debris field."  He also states that the radar picked the debris up, through four revolutions.

With the dawn of a new day, Tuesday morning, October 16th, the coverup had begun. The story now is that a bunker exploded at local military munitions plant (Camp Minden), despite the previous statements made by the Sheriff, ruling out the possibility of a munitions explosion.

An anonymous photographer captured aerial footage of the aftermath, which clearly shows 2 impact points, debris and an idle train that was also impacted and blown over. Despite what the claims are, the train was not moving at the time. The video is evidence of that as well.

Witness takes photos of strange lights over Fort Hood while at soccer game in Killeen

Click on any image to enlarge.

*
A witness emailed me a short report and photos of several anomalous lights in a sunset over Killeen, Texas.  She also reports that she and others witnessed a jet, which seemed to make no sound.

Here is the unedited email report.


Location: Killeen, Texas
Date of Sighting: 10/8/12
Time of Sighting: 7:12 P.M. Central

Large, flat, bright auras that moved about slowly.  Directly located over Fort Hood, TX.  There were up to 8 total lights/auras.  There were several very long vapor trails in the sky that were clearly from jets to provide great differentiation.  These auras were slightly brighter in the middle and moved slowly up and down.  The auras were bright and very discernible.  All but one disappeared over the trees into the sunset.  The other one went up slightly and then there was nothing.  I told my friend I was shocked that jets from San Antonio had not arrived yet when all of a sudden a jet flew within a mile of us from behind us and you could see the outline in the sunset, but there was NO SOUND from the jet......  Obviously no pictures the jet as we saw it and it was quickly behind the trees at a low elevation.
All pictures taken at my sons soccer game.
Duration about 5 minutes.

All pics around 7:13 P.M. cst

The lights were obviously unusual and am So mad I did not take video.  Since it was over Ft. Hood we thought it might be something unusual with the military.  When the one simply disappeared that gave everything new meaning.  The jet made NO SOUND and that was as surprising as the UFO.  It flew around us at less than a mile at very low altitude.  You can hear a mower from the area it flew over during soccer games, but no jet sound.

  *

Investigator's Note: Is it possible that the lights were merely short jet contrails?  But then we have to take into consideration the other contrails.  We also have to consider the jet that could not be heard by the witnesses, even though it was no further than a mile away.

UFO Confrontation Over Mansfield, Ohio, 1973

Video Link


On October 18, 1973, four military helicoptor crewmen had a dangerous encounter with a cigar-shaped UFO, over Mansfield, Ohio.

The UFO shown a green beam of light onto the helicopter as it descended, in an attempt to avoid a collision. At 1700 feet AGL, the helicopter was stopped in it's descent and lifted back up into the air, stopping at an elevation of about 3800 feet, where the alien craft held it firmly in place, apparently scanning the helicopter.

Meanwhile, the DeLong family was driving on the outskirts of Mansfield, when they saw the encounter between the helicopter and the UFO.  They were interviewed 3 years later.

Twenty years later, Detective John Healy, one of the helicopter crewmen, stepped forward with his account of what had transpired.  The encounter was re-enacted on the popular paranormal documentary TV series, "Sightings".  The episode "UFO over Mansfield, OH" originally aired on 11/13/1994.

ALIEN CRAFT SHADOWING AN AIR FORCE C-141 NEAR ANDREWS AFB.


7-18-12 SPRINGFIELD VIRGINIA

Approximately 6 p.m. I was on my patio watching for aircraft (I can observe approach/departure for DCA, DUL, Andrews AFB, Davidson AAF, and Manassas Regional) and enjoy identifying both aircraft and birds (we have eagles, hawks, and vultures.) My patio faces common ground and affords a relatively good view of the sky facing north. Weather was clear, visibility about 10 miles and there were originally no aircraft to be seen. Looking to the NE toward DCA I noticed a dark spec which at first appeared to be an eagle in the distance gliding sideward as they do when hunting. The spec traveled toward me (NE to SW) faster than eagles do and as it approched it began a long smooth turn to its left (toward SE) and I could see it was a soundless dark object (despite it being in direct sunlight) shaped like an oblong "seed" with the narrow point at the rear and the blunt end forward.....apparent size comparable to a grain of rice held at arms length. I followed its turn and then heard the sound of an aircraft approaching from behind me (from SW to NE) which had been shielded by the building behind me. It was clearly an Air Force C-141 which we see a lot of around here. The object continued its turn and fell in trail behind the C-141 at a distance of about 1/4 to 1/2 the length of the C-141 and about the same speed and altitude. I estimated the C-141 to be at about 2000, 180-200 knots clean (no flaps or wheels down). I followed the progress of both until they disappeared behind a nearby treeline. FOOTNOTE: We recently(metro Washington DC) had USAF/Dept. Homeland Defense exercises in which fighters (F-15s F-16s) "intercepted" USAF C-141s. I observed one of those intercepts in about the same location in the sky and I guarantee you a fighter wouldnt position himself in the bigger planes turbulence as this object I observed did. Also, the USAF fighters, while painted a dark flat gray were clearly and instantly identifiable as fighters. My observation of the USAF exercise and the object I couldnt identify were a month apart. There were no exercises announced for the date in question. NOTE: The above image is a rendering.

NEWS: New Spy Blimp... Not A UFO

*

Video Link


"The U.S. Army's Long Endurance Multi-Intelligence Vehicle (LEMV) flew for the first time from Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J., on Aug. 7. The air vehicle was airborne for more than 90 minutes during its initial flight. LEMV is built by Northrop Grumman with major subcontractor Hybrid Air Vehicle."

The football field-sized blimp uses ten percent of the fuel, compared to traditional aircraft and can hover in the air for three weeks at a time, operated either manually, or remoterly like a drone.

Not a speed demon but...

Northrup Grumman says the Spy Blimp is 100 feet longer than the Goodyear Blimp and is able to accommodate up to seven tons of supply and cargo, at a top speed of 30 mph. Even with a full load, the Spy Blimp can travel up to 2,400 miles.

I see you!

Military plans are to use the LEMV as a reconnaissance vehicle, jam packed with electronic surveillance equipment and set to enter live trials in Afghanistan, in 2013.

So when you look up in the sky and see the Spy Blimp, it could be looking back at you!

New Book Release- UFOs and Government: A Historical Inquiry

UFOs and Government: A Historical Inquiry
By Authors Michael Swords and Robert Powell

Governments around the world have had to deal with the UFO phenomenon for a good part of a century. How and why they did so is the subject of UFOs and Government, a history that for the first time tells the story from the perspective of the governments themselves. It's a perspective that reveals a great deal about what we citizens have seen, and puzzled over, from the "outside" for so many years.

The story, which is unmasked by the governments' own documents, explains much that is new, or at least not commonly known, about the seriousness with which the military and intelligence communities approached the UFO problem internally. Those approaches were not taken lightly. In fact, they were considered matters of national security. At the same time, the story reveals how a subject with such apparent depth of experience and interest became treated as if it were a triviality. And it explains why one government, the United States government, deemed it wise, and perhaps even necessary, to treat it so. Though the book focuses primarily on the U. S. government's response to the UFO phenomenon, also included is the treatment of the subject by the governments of Sweden, Australia, France, Spain, and other countries.

 This large-format, fully illustrated book is the result of a team effort that called itself "The UFO History Group," a collection of veteran UFO historians and researchers who spent more than four years researching, consulting, writing, and editing to present a work of historical scholarship on government response to the UFO phenomenon. Michael Swords was the primary author of the United States chapters. The work was coordinated and edited by Robert Powell. Clas Svahn, Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, Bill Chalker, and Robert Powell contributed country chapters. Jan Aldrich was the primary content consultant, with additional content consultation and writing coming from Barry Greenwood and Richard Thieme. Steve Purcell was the primary photo illustration editor.

From the foreword by Jerome Clark: "While UFOs and Government revisits an often unhappy history, the reading of it is far from an unhappy experience. The authors, eloquent, intelligent, sophisticated, and conscientious, provide us with the first credible, comprehensive overview of official UFO history in many years... Most of the current volume deals with U.S. military and intelligence responses to the UFO phenomenon, but it also features richly informative chapters that expand the story across the international arena. If you're looking for an example of a nation that dealt productively with the UFO reports that came its official way, you will take heart in the chapter on the French projects... From here on, every responsible treatment of UFOs and government will have to cite UFOs and Government prominently among its sources... this is the real story as accurately as it can be reconstructed in the second decade of the new century. I expect to keep my copy close at hand and to return to it often. While it cannot be said of many books, UFO-themed or otherwise, this is among the essential ones. Stray from it at your peril."

Kinross Incident: The UFO Intercept and Disappearance of USAF Lts Felix Moncla and Robert Wilson

*

*

On November 23, 1953, an unknown object was sightied on radar, in a "no flight zone" area of the Great Lakes.  A United States Air Force allweather F-89 "Scorpion" was sent to intercept the unknown target.  Both the unknown and the jet were seen on radar, both targets merged and only the large unknown was left, which soon disappeared off radar.  The jet was never found, not until 2006.  Or was it?  

Why am I bringing up this case now?  Well, I feel it is important to find out what really happened to the two U.S. airmen, 1st Lt Felix Moncla, pilot and his radarman, 2nd Lt Robert Wilson.

Equally important, is the fact that our skies are not as safe as they should be and who knows how many accidents, or near accidents have occurred since, due to UFO interactions.

The facts of the case are presented here.  Let us seek the truth. -SW

     *

The Kinross Incident

Felix Moncla and Robert Wilson

*

*

First Lieutenant Felix Moncla, pilot, and Second Lieutenant Robert Wilson, radar operator, disappeared when their United States Air Force F-89 Scorpion was scrambled from Kinross Air Force Base, and subsequently went missing over Lake Superior while intercepting an unknown aircraft in Canadian airspace, close to the Canada – United States border. The USAF identified the second aircraft as Royal Canadian Air Force C-47 Dakota VC-912, crossing Northern Lake Superior from west to east at 7,000 feet, en route from Winnipeg to Sudbury, Canada. Some ufologists have associated the disappearance with alleged “flying saucer” activity and refer to it as the “Kinross Incident”

On the evening of November 23, 1953, Air Defense Command Ground Intercept radar operators at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, identified an unusual target near the Soo Locks. An F-89C Scorpion jet from Kinross Air Force Base was scrambled to investigate the radar return; the Scorpion was piloted by First Lieutenant Moncla, with Second Lieutenant Robert L. Wilson acting as the Scorpion’s radar operator. Wilson had problems tracking the object on the Scorpion’s radar, so ground radar operators gave Moncla directions towards the object as he flew. Flying at some 500 miles per hour, Moncla eventually closed in on the object at about 8000 feet in altitude.

Ground Control tracked the Scorpion and the unidentified object as two “blips” on the radar screen. The two blips on the radar screen grew closer and closer, until they seemed to merge as one (return). The single blip disappeared from the radar screen, then there was no return at all. Attempts were made to contact Moncla via radio, but this was unsuccessful. A search and rescue operation was quickly mounted, but found not a trace of the plane or the pilots.

The official USAF Accident Investigation Report states the F-89 was sent to investigate an RCAF C-47 Skytrain which was traveling off course. No explanation for the planes disappearance was offered, but the Air Force investigators speculated that Moncla may have experienced vertigo and crashed into the lake. Others believe the plane made contact and perhaps even collided with a UFO.

Kinross AFB / F-89 Disappearance


On the night of November 23, 1953, an Air Defense Command radar detected an unidentified "target" over Lake Superior.   Kinross Air Force Base, closest to the scene, alerted the 433rd Fighter Interceptor Squadron at Truax Field, Madison, Wisconsin, and an F-89C all-weather interceptor was scrambled.  Radar operators watched the "blips" of the UFO and the F-89 merge on their scopes, in an apparent collision, and disappear.  No trace of the plane was ever found.

U S Air Force accident-report records indicate that the F-89 was vectored west northwest, then west, climbing to 30,000 feet.  At the controls were First Lieutenant Felix E. Moncla, Jr.; his radar observer was Second Lieutenant Robert L. Wilson.  While on a westerly course, they were cleared to descend to 7,000 feet, turning east-northeast and coming steeply down on the known target from above.  The last radar contact placed the interceptor at 8,000 feet, 70 miles off Keeweenaw Point, and about 150 miles northwest of Kinross AFB (now Kincheloe AFB).

The incident is not even labeled as a "UFO" case in Air Force records; instead, it was investigated by air-safety experts.  There were several layers of scattered clouds (one with bottoms at 5,000 to 8,000 feet) and some snow flurries in the general area.  Official records state, however, that the air was stable and there was little or no turbulence.

The Air Force later stated that the "UFO" turned out to be a Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) C-47 "On a night flight from Winnipeg, Manitoba, to Sudbury, Ontario Canada."  The F-89 apparently had crashed for unknown reasons after breaking off the intercept.  In answer to queries from the NATIONAL INVESTIGATIONS COMMITTEE ON AERIAL PHENOMENA (NICAP) in 1961 and again in 1963, RCAF spokesmen denied that one of their planes was involved.  Squadron Leader W. B. Totman, noting that the C-47 was said to be on a flight plan over Canadian territory, said "... this alone would seem to make such an intercept unlikely."

The Air Force suggested that "... the pilot probably suffered from vertigo and crashed into the take."  Harvard University astronomer and UFO debunker Dr. Donald H. MENZEL accepted this explanation, adding that the radar operators probably saw a "phantom echo" of the F-89, produced by atmospheric conditions, that merged with the radar return from the jet and vanished with it when the plane struck the water.

Exactly what happened that night remains unclear, as the Air Force acknowledges, and serious unanswered questions remain.  How likely is it that a pilot could suffer from vertigo when flying on instruments, as official records indicate was the case?  If the F-89 did intercept an RCAF C-47, why did the "blip" of the C47 also disappear off the radar scope?  Or, if Menzel's explanation is accepted and there was no actual intercept, why did the Air Force invoke a Canadian C-47, which RCAF spokesmen later stated was not there?  No intelligence document has yet surfaced that reports the radio communications between the pilot and radar controllers, and what each was seeing. Without this information, it is impossible to evaluate the "true UFO" versus the false radar returns and accidental crash explanations.

Canadian authorities denied that a C-47 Skytrain, or any other Canadian aircraft were flying in that vicinity, on the night of November 23, 1953.  So what was it that showed up as an unknown on radar? Though there were a few snow flurries and clouds, the air was reported stable, with no turbulence.

There was something out there with the F-89...

The mystery deepens.

Approximately 40 minutes after the F-89 disappeared from radar, another pilot, a Lt. Mingenbach believed he had picked up a radio transmission from Lt. Moncla, the pilot of the missing plane. It is doubtful that Lt. Moncla transmitted a final message from the bottom of the lake, 40 minutes after his plane collided with an unknown object, so who or what was it that Mingenbach heard?

Does tragedy end in a hoax, or more mysteries?

In 2006, radar detected a lone aircraft on the bottom of Lake Superior.  Sonar images revealed what appears to be an F-89 "Scorpion", with one wing sheared off. Along with that jet, was an unknown object.  The unknown object bears a strike mark, that matches a collision with the F-89.  It is speculated that the jet, piloted by Moncla, was struck by the "unknown" and both plummeted into the depths of Lake Superior.

Please read: New Evidence: the Kinross UFO Incident

Since the radar discovery of the down aircraft and it's mysterious partner, there seems to be no further word on the case.  Why am I not surprised...

UFO Observed Over Irvin, CA 4/16/2012

*
I received this emailed report from a witness in Irvine, California.  The sighting occurred On Monday, April 16, 2012 at 12:48 a.m.

This report has been edited by me. -SW




Hello.  I am a bit apprehensive about writing about this, but it is keeping me up tonight.  First, I am not from Texas.  I am in California.  Second, I strongly believe I saw an unidentifiable flying object.  Here are the facts based on what I saw earlier tonight:

[1] Time of Observation: 12:48AM Pacific Standard Time
[2] Description:
[a] Direction of Object: I saw a fast flying object going Southbound.  At first I thought it was a plane, but the closest airport we have is the [redacted], which is not a large airport and routinely shuts down after 12AM.  While I was watching this flying object I was pondering it could possibly be military since there are several military bases in Southern California, but it was traveling quite fast (faster than normal jet airliners and jet fighters I have seen during the daytime.

[b] Description of Object: There are two reasons why I believe it was not military (unless it was an experimental craft) are twofold: 1) It was traveling extremely fast, and more importantly 2) The lights coming from the flying craft exhibited rotating red and white/yellow lights, which were rotating fast.  The object was not too far off from my perspective.  Typically when I see jet liners coming into [redacted], the night lights which are also white and red are always steady - meaning not blinking steadily nor rotating.

I have never seen this before in my life.  Of course, I am aware that millions of people have purported to have seen unidentifiable flying crafts, but due to lack of clear recorded evidence (poor video quality) most have written it off as unclear, speculative, or natural phenomenons.  In this case, I am 100% certain I did not observe a natural phenomenon.  Nor am I writing under false pretenses.  I know what I saw, and it was clearly not a jet liner, so I can only assume two things:

[A] It was an experimental military aircraft, or
[B] It was an alien air/space craft.

Either way, it is an unidentifiable object.  Now, pertaining to my mental and emotional quotient:

[A] I have graduated from a 4-Year university and also earned my master's degree from a well known university in [redacted].
[B] I have studied natural sciences (biology), political science, and business.
[C] I have never had a never breakdown or delusional thoughts, or anything related to those.  I am as sane as the next person.

So, I am not very comfortable about writing this as there are potential rifts that can form, so I am not willing to divulge my name, telephone, etc. but you can email me with questions.  Unfortunately, I do not have a high-powered digital camera, telescope, or video camera...only what my eyes saw earlier tonight.  I apologize that I could not be more helpful, but I thought at the very least I can concur with your group that I may have seen an unidentifiable flying object.

I wrote the witness back and asked:
"Is it that you only saw lights, or did you see the actual object the lights were attached to?  Can you describe the object itself?"


The witness replied:
Hello Sunny.  Thanks for replying.  I hope I can answer your questions in short order below:

[1] The object was traveling on a long arc trajectory horizontally.
[2] The object appeared to be elliptical (almost circular) in fashion.
[3] The white and red lights that may appear to be flashing at first glance, but it was actually rotating in a circular fashion around the flying object when I watched it further for at least 3-5 minutes.  Then it disappeared.

Now, I have flown many times on business, school, and vacation and I know lights do not rotate on jet liners.  Nor do lights rotate on jet fighters or other typical planes.  Also, when an airplane's lights are visible (obviously during the evening and night hours), the lights blink steadily in a linear fashion based on the trajectory of the plane, which is linear.  This unidentifiable object was not traveling like a plane.  Also, IT WAS EXTREMELY FAST.  Based on a rudimentary assessment in my head, I would calculate it traveled that distance at 10 times the speed of a jet liner...and my home is on one of the paths for landing into [redacted] airport, so I see a lot of airplanes overhead.

Anyways, it was traveling over a low mountain region about 3 miles from my house traveling in a southbound direction.  I was actually doing my nightly thing where on a clear night I would go outside into my courtyard, get some fresh air, look at the stars, and go to bed...but last night I saw something far different than the norm.

As I stated previously, I could not tell if it was metallic, but I can make an educated guess that based on the lights refracting and reflecting that the object was metallic in build and color.

My original assumptions are: [1] It was an experimental military aircraft since I know we have military bases, known and unknown, in Southern California, or [2] It was alien in origin thus unidentifiable.

[Name withheld by SW/LITS]

The witness added that while discussing this with an ex-military friend, the friend acknowledged that UFOs and aliens do exist, despite denials by our government.
[Note:  The person that sent me this report is a well educated, logic-minded individual and appears to be a very credible witness. 
Additionally, I respectfully acknowledge and adhere to his request of anonymity, as I do with all LITS witnesses.

If you saw this object, please send me your report. -SW]

Video Link

by Rob Freeman

Video of recorded radar data, animated by the RADARplot application.
Shows 2 hours (at approx x50 speed) of the data from the Stephenville 2008 incident (3 of 5 radars).
Original data files can be found at: http://www.theblackvault.com/m/articles/view/UFO-Case-Stephenville-Texas-Janu...

Aircraft with transponders are shown as green (above 5000') and blue (below 5000'). Primary radar returns that don't correlate with a transponder are shown in white.

The Schulze-Powell track begins at 18:51 at the top right corner of the Brownwood MOAs and moves towards PCR Crawford. Although intermittent, a cumulative plot shows a definite track. Other interesting anomalies are present.

RADARplot is a freeware application. Recorded radar data can be stored in various formats which need to be converted before animation is possible.

A new view of Stephenville

Devoid- Mutual UFO Network’s radar analysis of the watershed Stephenville incident has been languishing in obscurity for nearly four years. But recently, a British computer programmer’s animated reconstruction of that data has brought the mystery into sharper visual focus.

Applying a program that duplicates conversions used by air accident investigators, Rob Jeffs has bundled the 2.8 million radar returns MUFON acquired from five FAA and National Weather Service sites, and recreated moving images of the air traffic over central Texas from 4-8 p.m. on Jan. 8, 2008.

Assessment and conclusion? 

People saw something in the skies over Stephenville, on January 8, 2008.  The objects appeared on radar.  At least one object made a beeline for President Bush's home in Crawford, Texas, which was and is restricted airspace.  And during this whole thing, jets were flying all over the place.

We all know that secrets are kept but...

The gist of it all: If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck. -SW

1984- Large Ship Over Casselberry, Florida and 2004 Crash of Unknown Object

*

Indepth look at Battlestar Galactica on Wikipedia

*

Witness claims that in 1984, she and 3 other people in their car saw an unidentified flying object that reminded her of the "Battlestar Galactica".

Here is that unedited report which was recently submitted to MUFON.


Casselberry, Florida
6-16-1984

Huge! Dark body with blueish and purplelish colored windows (rectangle and some smaller square shaped windows) on the bottom and possibly part of the sides of the craft.

Myself, my husband, my mother and my neice were in the car at the intersection of hwy 17-92 and Dog Track Road in Casselberry Florida in the mid 80s. We were taking my mother home on a Sunday night to the best of my recolection and it was between 11:00 to 12:00 am. I was in the back seat behind my husband who was driving and my mother was in the front passenger seat and my neice was beside me in the back right. We were at the interstection and I heard a very low humming sound and I asked if anyone else heard this and they listend and said yes.

We looked up and to the right we saw a huge hovering craft that I myself remember either saying or someone in the car saying that looks like something off of Battlestar Galatica. What would make us say that? It was big, so my husband said lets drive nearer to it so he turned right onto the road ( which I think was the other side of Dog Track Road) and from what I can remember got pretty close under it and we all remember seeing rectangle shaped windows and a few smaller square windows. They appeared to be the colors of Blue and Purple from what we can remember. If there were any windows on the side of it I can only barely remember...but perhaps there was. I myself felt eery about the whole thing and I remember thinking to myself thats strange some smaller square windows would be part of the pattern when really the rectangle ones are more obvious.

It stayed hovering and I dont remember anything else after that until I think my husband said lets pull over and get another look but our car was back on 17-92 at that point from what I remember and I said no way I am not getting out of this car. I dont think we were abducted that just couldnt have happened Im sure some of the memory loss on this is just from over the years of not talking about it. To answer the question of how we lost site of it....when we pulled over on the side of 17-92 would have been after we had driven away from it but I dont remember us driving away from it. So another words I dont remember being near it or seeing the windows anymore or the craft after we stopped and pulled over on 17-92. Hope that makes sense.....we would have had to turn back off of Dog Track Road to be back on 17-92. Whhhooo.... hope you understood that. Its as if we decided to drive and get back on 17-92 but I dont remember that but we did end up back on 17-92. Then we just drove mother home. I myself do not remember any time loss but ever so faintly in my memory I remember mother mentioning something to me about the time on the way home?? Maybe she was just confused because of what we just saw.

Supposidly there was a crash of something big on Dog Track Road in 2004 and it shook the residents homes in the area and the ground and had a bright light when it hit. People say Nasa was out there and acted suspiciously quiet and there is a pond there now.....or something of the sort. Maybe they were testing one of these Stealth Blimps Ive heard of or something similar....but we had never seen anything like it before or sense. It didnt look like the Stealth Blimps Ive seen pictures of but perhaps it was something else from Nasa. It was huge. Even my husband who cant deny this because he saw it too but is a skeptic to most things admits this thing was at least the length of a football field. To bad I never thought to report this before or to pay much attention to it. I just thought we were all freaks. But once I read about that crash in Casselberry....it made me start to look at it again what ever it could have been. Man made or something else.

Editor's Note: The crash the witness speaks of was July 4, 2004.  A large glowing object impacted the ground, leaving a sizable crater.  The sky around the area turned a yellow color, there were several post impact explosions and nearby residents were reported to have become ill.  NASA took over and no more info was released.

Governments South of The U.S. Border Show How UFOs Should Be Investigated

UFO Disclosure Chilean Style

In a historical first for UFO conferences in the USA, the just held 21st 2012 International UFO Congress in Fountain Hills, Arizona, counted with the participation of a government official who runs a project to investigate UFOs. Retired Chilean Air Force General Ricardo Bermúdez is the director of CEFAA (Committee of Studies of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena), which is part of DGAC, Chile’s Civil Aviation Agency equivalent to our FAA. General Bermúdez spoke at the Congress on Saturday Feb. 25, revealing a number of highly interesting cases involving commercial and military pilots, as well as an extraordinary daytime multiple video case showing a clear metallic-looking object during an important Chilean Air Force ceremony in 2010. The message throughout his lecture was unmistakably clear: some UFOs are real and may pose a threat to air safety operations, that’s why they should be investigated officially not only in Chile but throughout the world.

Lights Over Monroe, GA Reported To CNN

*
*
See Video

A witness in Monroe, Georgia saw and recorded these strange lights. 

The witness immediately reported this event to CNN and was told they were the only person to report it.   5 minutes later, multiple aircraft show up and the strange lights disappeared.

Here is that unedited report that was submitted to MUFON.


Monroe, Georgia
02/25/2012

THIS WAS JUST RECORDED ON 02/25/2012 OVER GEORGIA. WE WITNESSED IT AT ABOUT 7:20 IT LASTED FOR ABOUT 30 MINS. CONTACTED CNN AND REPORTED IT. 20 -30 GOVERNMENT AIRCRAFTS RESPONDED TO THE LIGHTS IN THE SKY BUT CNN SAID NO ONE ELSE REPORTED IT.

1.Leaving walmart
2 i noticed them because of their star like objects were so bright and extremely low
3i thought they were stars at first glance but soon discovered it not to be.
4 first they was stationary around a particularly dark cloud. then one separated itself from the rest and the rest formed sort of a triangle shape but not exactly. at this time they were still at the same altitude as they were when i first noticed them. the last formation they made was a horizontal line. after about 30 mins and then we left.
5 during the sighting i called cnn and made a report. five mins upon ending the call, 20-30 aircrafts were in the same airspace as the starlike objects. to me that was to many to be i that small area of sky. i know that they were aircrafts because of the flashing lights used by plans and helicopters at night. if they werent ufos then why so many aircrafts to the response. also the cnn woman said i was the only person to report this. i lose sight of the object when all the aircrafts came to the area. we left from the scene after my cousin reminding us of prior engagements.

NUFORC Case #  S87072
Occurred : 2/6/2012 20:52
Location: Fort Irwin, CA
Shape: Triangle
Duration: 10 min
Triangle Shape Object With About 14 Orange Lights

My back yard is looking into the training area here (Known as the box). I was looking over towards the training city of Abu Layla and saw this group of bright orange lights. Looked to be about 14 or more lights in a triangle form. The lights were just hovering above the road out there. After 10 minutes of watching this the lights headed east towards the I15 freeway and you could see the glow of this object silhouette the mountains. When it took off it had to be going faster then 600mph because it only took about 5 seconds for it to disappear (figuring the speed by the time and distance). When it took off it went from a stand still position. This is my 3rd time seeing it here in the same spot. I work in this area every day, and there is nothing but Desert out there. I have 2 pictures I took with a Point and Shoot camera, but they came out blurry due to the distance and are not 'really' helpful.

NUFORC Case # S87089
Occurred : 2/7/2012 18:40
Location: Rancho Mirage, CA
Shape: Circle
Duration: 30 minutes+

Watched a flying object over Bob Hope Drive with my sister. There was quite a few cars on the road so I'm sure others saw it, too. Followed it as it got further and further away. It was flying in a circular motion for quite a while - as we parked along a secluded road to watch it in disbelief.

Flew further away (Easterly direction).

The craft had lights along its circular border and one red light on top. It had the shape of a toy spinner/spinner top.

((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. We suspect an evening sighting, but we may be wrong. PD)

UFO-like Object Hauled On Flatbed Trailer Causes Stir

*
Alien invasion? Strange object travels through Cowley County

Arkansas City Traveler- The unusual object traveling through Cowley County, which was the cause of much conversation Monday morning, was a U.S. Navy drone.

Hauled on a large flatbed truck along U.S. 77, area residents got a look at a 32-foot-wide, dull gray, wrapped apparatus shaped like a flying saucer and featuring flashing red lights.

Reports were that the object is a Navy drone, which — after wings are attached — will fly from aircraft carriers.

One clearance location of concern was the bridge north of Winfield, which only is 35 feet wide.

Local emergency management officers, along with members of the Arkansas City and Winfield police departments and Cowley County Sheriff's Department, were on hand to control traffic as the aircraft was transported through Cowley County to Maryland.

            *

OK, so it's a little suspicious but maybe it's identity is more apparent, once it's wings are attached? - SW
