A witness in southern Dallas, Texas reports seeing a cylinder-shaped craft overhead.

This report is presented here as is, unedited.

MUFON Case #37893
Location:  Dallas, Texas
Date of sighting: 05/03/2012
Time of sighting: 1:10 p.m.
Shape of object: Cylinder
Summary: Looked like a large passenger plane without wings.

Report:
I was driving south on Beckley Blvd when I noticed a large passenger plane above. I then noticed that there were no wings and suddenly the object disappeared from my view.
1:10 pm clear skies
south dallas
cilinder in shape.

Explosive "Booms" Rattle Windows In North Central Texas

April 30, 2012, just minutes before 10:00 a.m., residents of Granbury and surrounding areas were surprised and shaken by two loud "booms."

While some thought there was an earthquake, others feared that the local nuclear power plant, Comanche Peak, had exploded.

Frightened residents contacted DFW's NBC5 News and soon the answer came from local aircraft manufacturer, Lockheed Martin's spokesman, Norman Robbins.

"Lockheed Martin Aeronautics was contacted this morning by various media outlets reporting that listeners heard a supersonic boom this morning in Johnson County (Godley) and also from the Granbury area. The company did have supersonic flight activity underway this morning and while the activity generally occurs at very high altitudes, atmospheric conditions sometime result in disturbances on the ground. The testing is a normal part of the manufacturing process used for preparing military aircraft for our customers."

According to the NBC5 report, "Lockheed would not provide any specifics on the type of aircraft being tested."

One report I received from a man in Granbury stated:

"I actually saw the sonic air wave disturbance, with this one. You know how everything is distorted slightly in a circular pattern around a blast, as the percussion waves push outward. You can see that in video clips of massive explosions. I saw that today. Just as the blast wave hit us, everything became completely out of focus, a split second after the booms. We thought the giant cottonwood tree was going to fall on us. The tree was swaying back and forth, and over a dozen branches came crashing down all around us. I have storm glass through out the house, since the last boom we had. I know that there are broken windows all over Granbury today. We heard many, many police sirens right after the boom as well."

One witness posted a comment to this blog, stating:

"We just heard an unexplained explosion that shook our house, just North of Granbury. It sounded like it came from south. My first thought was Glenrose. We drove around to a look out point and don't see anything.  We put the news on and nothing. It was so weird. I googled and found this post about it also happening last year."

My question is, if this is true and Lockheed Martin was conducting flight activity on the morning of April 30, 2012, then why are these supersonic aircraft being "tested" over highly populated areas?

MUFON Case #37773
Mission, TX
03/24/2012
21:30
Disc   

appeared as a circular disc based on the arrangement of the lights I observed    

It was around 9:30 when I noticed a Light to the East at about 30 degrees above the horizon. when I first saw the light it was at around 45 degrees NE and appeared to be moving to the south. I Got my Sony camcorder from my vehicle, which was parked right behind me In the driveway and began recording at 9:29. I then proceeded to film the object for about five minutes or so. I estimate the object was around three miles, approximately from my location. it appeared to be on a steady course to the south as it moved across the sky and did not appear to be changing altitude as it traveled. At first there appeared to be four lights with one of them blinking but as the object moved to the south it began to display more lights. soon there were six lights,two of which were blinking,the color of the lights were blue, white, and green. soon there appeared to be eight lights with two of them blinking. the object continued on its southerly course. at around 9:32 a red blinking light appeared as the most forward light and a third blinking blue light appeared behind it on what looked to be the center of the craft.at this point it appeared as if there were four blinking lights total with the rear lights blinking at a different interval than the red a blue lights at the front of the object. The object was now at about 100 degrees E and still on a southerly flight path. the number of lights visible were still the same. The craft continued on its course to the south and I lost sight of it behind a bank of trees at around 180 degrees. the whole sighting lasted around five minutes.I had just finished parking my vehicle when I felt compelled to look to the north east, if I had not done so I would not have seen this object nor been able to film it. this is not the first sighting of unidentified objects I have experienced, I had submitted a video clip of a UFO sighting to MUFON already from a sighting I had in 2009. I was not excited so much as I was curious about the nature of the object.

Light

Small green light fail from sky

I went outside on my back porch to smoke a cigg. I was talking with my husband and then right over my neighbors house I seen a small green light fall from the sky straight down. I waited for about 1 min. And then I turned to my husband and told him I just seen a small green light fall from the sky. He looked at me like I was crazy. I know what I saw. My husband and I got into our car and drove down the road to see if we could see anything. And of course there was nothing to be seen. The light I seen was light green it glowed kinda looked like a flare. It was falling downward. I never saw it again after driving back home.

Chevron

2 Chevron Shaped Crafts

Sitting outside with a friend in East Dallas looking at the stars when my friend pointed out movement overhead. We observed an object about 1000 to 1500 ft above. What we saw could easily have been overlooked at first as it was emitting no light or sound. The object which was about the size of a plane, at first seemed triangular in shape but subtly changed in shape (kind of like mercury) to a boomerang appearance and at times ovular it was a dull grey color with a hazy mist and seemed to at times have a faint glow. We watched as the object moved NNW. 2 to 2 minutes later we observed a second boomerang-like object much more elongated and thin than the first. This object could have at first glance passed as a flock of birds flying in V formation however it was solid, emitted a low glow and was heading smoothly NNW as well.

MUFON Case #37799
Granbury, TX   
04/27/2012

this was a direct path ufo that obviousy left the atmosphere

an object, white no blinking lights was moving from north to south at an unknown altitude (probably 20000 ft) moved in a strait line then faded from sight in a clearly marked leaving the earths atmosphere pattern. This was a clear case of a vehicle leaving the planet, it was in the area of sky dominated by the orion constellation. as I reiterate it was plain that this object was definitely leaving the planets atmosphere. there was an airplane in the vicinity but I don't think it was connected in any way since that plane was probably at about 8-10 thousand feet

MUFON Case #37808
Arlington, TX
04/20/2012

appeared to be a large and bright star or meteor falling downwards at extremely high speed, disappeared long before reached horizon

Driving southbound on 360 near six flags, I had noticed a few planes in the sky already. What looked like a very large and bright star appeared within my view while looking down the road and I watched it shoot downwards, coming from the upper atmosphere it seemed like. There was no trail behind it, despite its considerable size and if it was farther than it appeared than it could be even larger. I could immediately tell it was no airplane, and thought I might be seeing a shooting star or meteor.
The object did not break up at all or appear to get smaller, only moving in a downwards direction before disappearing completely well before it even got close to the horizon or any other obstacle that could have blocked my vision. My girlfriend sitting in the passenger seat exclaimed before I did, and we both confirmed we saw the same thing. It appeared as a solid white oval against the night sky and did not fade or shimmer out, just disappearing completely.

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...

"Monolith" and Flashes of Light Over Atascosa County, Texas

*

Depiction supplied by witness, courtesy MUFON.

A witness describes observing a flying "monolith" and what appears to be an aerial "war", in the sky over Atascosa County, Texas.

Note: Poteet and Devine are located South of San Antonio, Texas.

Poteet, Texas

UFO War over Atascosa County, Texas    

Night Sky Observation.

April 21, 2012 - Observation location is in Atascosa County, 500 feet Northwest from the corner of FM 2504 and Garden Drive. This location is between the township of Rossville, Texas (2.75 miles to the East) and the city of Devine, Texas (7.3 miles to the North East).

Observation time started at 8:45 PM Central time with clear night sky, no clouds, no moon, and very slight breeze from the East. Observer is facing magnetic south.
At 9:41 PM noted passenger airliner (the FAA required marker beacons and lights were clearly visible) approaching at a height about 20,000 to 25,000 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) flying from the San Antonio direction from the north and heading in a southwest direction, possible towards Lerado, Texas.

As soon as I lost visual on the passenger airliner low into the southwest, I picked up a single, white, flash of light. The flash was just a little bigger then the size of a normal writing pen’s roundness as you would look at it dead on holding the pen at arm’s length. The flash brightness was about half the illumination as looking at present Jupiter’s brightness. I am guessing this flash originated at the height above the mention airliner’s flight path by 75,000 feet or 100,000 AGL.

The flash was approximately 70 degrees up from the southeast horizon and about 50 to 75 miles east of the passenger airliner’s flight path. Noted time at 9:46 PM and concentrated observation in direction of flash of light. Within a few seconds noted a second flash of light with the same characteristic and at the exact location of first flash.

About three to four seconds after the second flash of light witnessed a third and final flash of light. I did not see any kind of craft, yet the night sky was so clear I had no problem seeing the flash of lights.

Internet search for this kind of previous sighting comes from Ufologist Mr. Ed Grimsley UFO Wars, this flash of light looked a lot like the UFO distress maker bacon lights as seen under Night Vision Goggle (NVG) night sight equipment (see reference [Link moved to Additional Evidence section/cms/tg]).

This night sky was very clear with Orion’s Belt to my right and the Big Dipper to my back yet there was no more light flashing from the southwest.

Starting about 10:05 PM I witness about six little white lights moving across the night sky; two from the east heading west, two from the south heading north, one from the northeast heading southwest, and one west heading southwest. All moved with different time intervals between each other to span about 8 to 10 minutes. All had a non-direct flight path and some moved in a slight ziz-zag motion. All six little white lights were passing higher above the passenger airliner’s flight path and possibly higher than the first mention flashing white light, say at 150,000 feet AGL.

Approximately 10:25 PM I witnessed a spectacular fiery meteorite entry into earth atmosphere. The meteorite burned red, yellow, orange, and blue at the core but had a gray burn trail. The meteor entered directly above from the West and deteriorated to the East, and the visible burn trail was about the length of six full moons placed side by side.

10:32 PM directly above noted a second set of flashing white lights lower in altitude and closer to my position. Again just three flashes with about 3 to 4 seconds between flash. Each flash became bigger and closer down from the sky and on the third flash, I was able to see a monolith between the source of the light and my observation point, See Fig 1. The monolith could have been producing the light or it had flown in to intercept the falling object that was producing the flash of lights. If we use an estimated height of 100,000 feet AGL, the monolith was the size of 1/8 inch in length (0.125) and 1/16 inch wide (0.0625) as seen from arm’s length at ground level or the monolith was about 1,040 feet in length and 520 feet wide.

I was so amazed in what I had just witnessed, I do not know how much time had passed when suddenly a white laser beam type light shot out from the exact location of the monolith in a slight arc path towards the northeast direction. The beam shot out for a short distance no longer the diameter of our full moon and seem to be aimed towards outer space.

After an additional hour of observation, no other sky activity noted.

The following nights observation (April 22 and 23) I was only able to see the mentioned 9:41/42 PM passenger airliner flyby and a few small moving white lights.

Study Warns of Alien Dinos- Huh?

*

Video Link


So it turns out that if aliens ever show up here on earth, little green men might be the least of our problems.

A new study indicates that instead, they'll probably be more like super intelligent dinosaurs, as smart and cunning as humans.

As one scientist put it, "We would be better off not meeting them."

Sleep tight. -Shepard Smith, Fox News

Study Suggests Alien Worlds Could Be Full of Super-Intelligent Dinosaurs
Nasa’s Kepler telescope scans the skies for ‘habitable worlds’ – but an American chemist has suggested the whole project might be a terrible idea.

Ronald Breslow suggests that life-forms based on slightly different amino acids and sugars could take the form of huge, ferocious dinosaurs that have evolved to have human-like intelligence and technologies.

‘We would be better off not meeting them,’ says Breslow, who claims that it was a stroke of luck that an asteroid wiped out dinosaurs on earth, leaving the field clear for mammals such as humans.

On other worlds, dinosaurs could have evolved into huge, intelligent warriors armed with hi-tech weaponry – but without losing their hunger for fresh meat.

‘Of course,’ Breslow says, ‘Showing that it could have happened this way is not the same as showing that it did. An implication from this work is that elsewhere in the universe there could be life forms based on D-amino acids and L-sugars.

‘Such life forms could well be advanced versions of dinosaurs, if mammals did not have the good fortune to have the dinosaurs wiped out by an asteroidal collision, as on Earth.

‘We would be better off not meeting them.’

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.

Regards,

[Name withheld by SW/LITS]


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]
