My Take On The 1st Annual Tyler, Texas Paranormal Conference

I'm back from the conference in Tyler, Texas and it was awesome!  I met so many nice people and had a wonderful time.  I even think I did OK as a speaker, at least I hope I was able to inform and for some, build an interest in the field of Ufology.

After I spoke Saturday morning and while folks were taking a short 10 minute break, I was able to answer a few questions and even listen to stories of UFO sighting, including a skeptic or two, as they told me of their experiences.   But they are skeptics, right?  

I tried to impress on everyone that UFO means "unidentified flying object."  It doesn't automatically mean that every unidentified object is an alien craft, it simply means what it implies, that it was something you couldn't identify.

At the Para Con, each speaker was entertaining and informative. After all, they are experts in their own fields of interest, be it ghost hunting, Bigfoot hunting, speaking with spirits, energy work or little o' me and UFOs (Me, an expert?  I'm still learning!).  It was a great experience for me, as I am sure it was for everyone who attended.  I am definitely looking forward to next year!

I would like to publicly thank promoter and producer, George Jones of Jericho's Tours of Tyler.com, and all his associates, for their outstanding job and warm hospitality.

Mysterious Booming Sounds in Florida

*
In March of 2013,  there were fireballs and mystery booms reported over Florida.  Here is one such report.
Please note that this report is unedited.


MUFON Case # 46681     
Date:  March 21, 2013
Location:   West Palm Beach, Florida
Summary:  Bright white light followed by the loudest boom/bang Ive ever heard in the distance to the south. A mystery boom.    


Report:
Outside at four in the morning and smoking a cigarette, I saw a bright white light in the direction I was looking (south) followed by a chest shaking bang or boom... Almost like the worlds loudest gunshot times much more. Called the police over it and was informed that it was likely a transformer though their computers showed no outages. I looked into this type of event and found that it falls under the category of mystery boom. The closest event I can direct people to thats similar to what I saw is a video from surveillance taken in Salem, Massachusetts, albeit I was much further away... the video seems to be very close to the boom. I was several miles but it was very loud and the sound took no time to get to me. I didnt see any reports about this in the area, but Ive seen many across the country and feel it should be considered ufo phenomenon. Add West Palm Beach, Florida to the list of places that have experienced a boom. At the time of this posting, more odd events occurred with well known friends in the area. Though this was worth reporting.

Were these lights and sounds due to meteors?

Orange Light In Sky Over Clermont, Georgia

*

I received an emailed report from a witness in Clermont, Georgia, who stated that he and his wife watched an orange light in the sky as it traveled West to East.

Here is that report:


Location: Clermont, Georgia, U.S.A.
Date/Time: 03/31/2013, 9:00 pm (21:00)
Object description: Orange light in sky


Hi Sunny.

In response to your post that I read today, just wanted to let you know that my wife and I were outside Sunday night, 3/31/2013 and saw a bright, non-flashing orange light in the night sky around 9 pm. The "object" did not appear to be a normal aircraft as it did not have flashing beacon lights (red or green) nor a bright white landing light. We live in Clermont, GA near the mountains. The light was moving generally in a west-to-east path while visible and in a straight horizontal line. No sound was heard and could not determine the size or distance, but was awesome to see as the intensity of the light was constant and was like nothing we've ever seen. I thought it may have been the International Space Station, but when I checked it's location, it was nearing the western coast of Australia.

No clue what it was - did you ever see again or come across any info as to what it may be?

[Name withheld by SW/LITS]

Investigator's Note: The witness is correct that the object was not the International Space Station, nor do I believe it was a conventional aircraft, satellite, or meteor.

It is also highly unlikely that it was swamp gas, a weather balloon, plastic bag, Chinese lantern, or Venus.   So what does that leave?

As I told the witness that could be either a 'drone', or  possibly an extraterrestrial object/craft.   I'll add here that perhaps it could even have been some new black-ops technology. 

The object remains unidentified.  -Sunny
