UFO Sighting Reports

Thursday June 26, 2008
Welcome to another session of UFO sightings reports. Let's say what has been happening in the skies lately.

Indiana-06-03-08-I was on the roof of my house and making a call to my home. When I gave a glance to the sky, suddenly some unusual things were moving together, and a 'chain' of lights (around 40) moving very fast in a floating manner. The light was somewhat like 3 "U" shapes in a slight slanting position.

The size of the light chain was so long that I felt something unusual was happening. A plane cannot be that size and there was no sound. Also, a plane cannot be that kind of shape and it was too fast, anyway. I stopped calling my parents and tried to take photos using my mobile but it came out blank, and nothing is clear. The same time I called my friend, but before he looked it was gone. source: www.mufon.com

New York-06-14-08-I live in a luxury hi-rise apartment in Midtown, next to the Empire State Building. At around 4:40 AM, I got up while my roommate was going to sleep and went to the rooftop for a cigarette.

At around 4:45 or so, I noticed a dark blimp or oval-shaped vehicle, which I first thought was a blimp, but then realized there was no cabin, no indication of rudders or fans, no markings or logos, and absolutely no lights.

It appeared to move without wobbling or without any influence of the wind direction, but rather in a stable path over or near the East River from about the Union Square East area (14th Street) to the 34th Street area, disappearing from my field of view on the east side of the Empire State Building, then reappearing on the north side. This is where it changed course, and turned east and quickly ascended until it reached the cloud level and disappeared.

It was my intent to record this event with my camera phone which I had in hand, but I was too stunned to even remember to switch it on. I tried recording the event after it oriented itself easterly, but realized then it was too late for my camera phone to record it with any quality. source: www.mufon.com

Oregon-06-12-08-I was camping on the edge of a seasonal lake bed,(Skookum Lake), last Thursday with a friend. It was the first evening of several days of rock hunting. We had finished a late BBQ dinner 1-2 hours after dark. While I was readying an air mattress and bedding in the open bed of my pickup, my friend was watching the night sky and talking of seeing a couple of shooting stars and seeing what she called jets maneuvering. I recall hearing sounds of jets but really wasn't looking or paying attention.

At one point her voice got a little excited, saying, "Look over there," pointing in a northwesterly direction. By the time I did, I didn't see anything. She simply said it was an odd light. Finally, I saw a single light flash on, I can only describe it as, if you make a circle, cut it in half vertically and exaggerate it a little bigger, like a side view of an old style auto headlamp. I witnessed this once or twice then saw two, one next to each other. These flashed on for aproximately 1-2 seconds. I have spent many, many nights sleeping in the open air in the high desert over the past thirty plus years and have never seen anything I didn't think was probably easily explainable until now. source: www.mufon.com

Pennsylvania-06-12-08-I opened my back door and saw a bright huge light shooting rays upward. I ran and got my boyfriend who was sleeping. We both examined it for a while then I got my camera I took some pictures. The light would not show up, but there are some things you can see. I also took a video.

My boyfriend said that the rays and light just shut off. I wanted to catch it on film, but he said it turned off its light a TV screen. Today, 6/16/08, I went out to the field with my mom, sisters and aunts to see if it left anything and there is a circle of grass lying down in the field. So many days have past it is popping back up but, you can still see the circle. I'd rather talk to someone before I give out the photos. source: www.mufon.com

Washington-06-16-08-I was relaxing at the lakefront beach, looking out at the water and the sky, when I saw 3 air force fighter jets chasing a silver, globe-shaped object, over Spanaway Lake, at approximately 4:20 PM this afternoon. It was enough to convince me that I saw something indubitably out of the ordinary-a silver disc almost globe-shaped and roughly, from my viewpoint, the perceived size of a bb at arm's length.

This object was discernibly bisected on the horizontal plane, almost like a silver wedding band placed horizontally around the midsection of a flattened chromed steel ball. Its airspeed was also similar to a passenger jet on approach to an airport. It made no sound I could hear, at least not above the sound of car/boat traffic and wind and the masses of people frolicking at the beach, none of whom seemed to notice what was happening in the sky above them. I noticed this object out of my peripheral vision and watched it move in an easterly direction about 10 degrees from when I first noticed it. source: www.mufon.com

I hope you enjoyed this week's reports, and be sure to come back next time for more UFO sighting reports. Until then, keep your eyes on the skies.

regarding the Friendman interview. I found the official report he mentioned. I don’t kow if it’s been posted before but worth a second look. Click my name for the link to the report (I’ll try to post it below also). It’s really is a great report. After reading that report I can agree this incident should be regarded as one of the best recent sightings of UFOs. I’d like to see this type of report done for all good sightings, maybe even Stephenville.

Friedman: The O’Hare case was an excellent case involving as it did testimony by a number of United Airlines employees. There is a detailed 150 page report by Dr. Richard Haines of NARCAP (National Aviation Reporting Center for Anomalous Phenomena) chock full of data. There has been some concern about the adequacy of the MUFON report on Stephenville. It seems too bad that the original reporter lost her job. There is always room for improvement

There are dozens of alien species on and around the earth that are here maily to help us with our transition to the next dimension that will occur on December 21st 2012 so seeing more sightings is not a surprise. The U.S. government is trying their best to undermine this occurance based on greed and monetary gains but they will not succeed because everything that is happening is happening according to plan and oh what a glorious world it will be when world hunger is elliminated and global peace occurs.

The National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena is a national organization, established late in 2000, and dedicated to the advancement of aviation safety issues as they apply to Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP).

We collect data regarding aviation community reports of aerial encounters with lights or objects that seem inconsistent with known categories of aircraft and common natural phenomena. These lights or objects are reported to appear in a variety of colors and shapes. We refer to these objects or lights as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP).

NARCAP was founded in 1999 by Executive Director, Ted Roe and Chief Scientist Dr. Richard Haines. Through careful planning and execution, NARCAP has grown to be a respected research organization dedicated to UAP and aviation safety for the public’s benefit.

NARCAP was developed because it seems that the aviation industry is operating under a bias that is causing an under-reporting of safety-related encounters with UAP. Without this data, effective procedures have not been implemented and there is a real threat to aviation safety.
