Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 19, 2010
Location of event: Arizona, USA
"While watching for satellites on my back patio, I saw a bright light moving from the northwest to southeast direction. There was no sound at all, and it looked to be descending.
Suddenly it leveled off, and began a zig-zag motion, beginning to ascend to the northeast, and slowly disappear. I then saw a blue flash, and the UFO or whatever, was gone.
I have been fortunate to have seen a number of UFO over the years, from Maine to California. I usually report them to MUFON."

Multiple unknown objects seen over Florida
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 20, 2010
Location of event: Florida, USA
"Around 11:48 to 11:57 PM, EDT, I witnessed 10 - 12 red, sphere-like objects moving in an irregular line formulation. I was ready to close up my store when my brother called telling me excitedly that there were a group of bright objects within the sky. I went out to look at the scene and there were these objects, moving northwest from my initial point. My two fellow employees came out to see the objects, as did the last three customers we were helping.
On Taft St., nearby drivers stopped and got out of their cars to look at the objects. These objects were red with yellow on the bottom, at times blinking. There were no sounds being omitted from them, unlike when a jet airliner passes overhead.
My brother explained to me that he first saw the objects moving in a single file line, then breaking apart, still being somewhat behind one another. Upon seeing the objects, I began to run across the plaza parking lot, keeping my phone on so that I could get my brother's view from where he was. By the time I had crossed the end of the lo,t the last two objects began criss-crossing one another, never hitting one other.
Finally the very last one appeared to elevate into the atmosphere, becoming dimmer as it reached higher elevations. My coworker believed it was a meteor shower penetrating into the Earth's atmosphere; however, these objects were moving below low level clouds the entire time I was out there.
When I got home I immediately called the local Police of Pembroke Pines and Hollywood, to see whether anyone had already reported the sightings, which no one did. My brother saw the same with the remaining items, saying that they all had ascended into the atmosphere. For me this was the most amazing sight I've ever seen, for I've been interested in this subject since my years in middle school."

Ohio witness sees low-flying triangle UFO
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 19 2010
Location of event: West Linn, Oregon
"I walked outside my condo in West Linn, Oregon, to walk the dog at around 8:00 PM. It was completely dark except for the stars and the crescent moon - there were no clouds in the sky. Instantly I heard dogs barking and howling in the northwest direction of the neighborhood, but my dog remained silent (he's not a me-too barker).
Right away I looked up in the sky as I always do when I go outside, and to my left I saw a low-flying vehicle that was coming from the southeast direction and heading northwest. I estimated it being between 50 to 75 yards up in the sky. It was close enough that I saw the bottom of the metal, triangular-shaped vehicle. I was thinking it would hit some trees or crash because it was so low, but apparently it didn't.
I could see the bottom of this jet-sized vehicle, but it was triangle shaped and didn't look like a plane or jet. It was at least 75 feet long. Afterwards, when I stretched my arm out where I saw the vehicle before, it was the size of my hand (woman's hand).
There were bright orange lights on the bottom. I watched it zoom by at about 100 miles an hour - it looked like a fast moving car speed. I could only watch the vehicle between the trees, probably for about 5 seconds max. My dog and I ran to see if we could see anything on the other side of the trees, but it was nowhere in sight. The dogs kept barking when the vehicle passed over in their direction. It was so silent, my dog didn't even look up.
Sideline, when I told my husband how low this UFO was flying, he didn't think it was possible without hitting the trees. So my first report said 100 yards up. But as I was driving on the freeway the following day, I noticed all the tallest street lights that are always next to certain areas of the freeway - the ones that have three lights on them. There are also shorter lights but I'm talking about the tallest ones. The tallest lights were how low the craft was flying.
When I checked out the path in the daylight, there was plenty of room for it to fly that low without hitting any trees. I don't know how anybody else did not see this strange sighting, but nobody else was in sight. I'm tempted to go door-to-door and ask other neighbors if they saw anything.
Right away I called the local TV Channels. The only one that had a live person to talk to said, "that's kind of funny that you'd report that today because it's the Spring Equinox and you could have seen a reflection from the Northern Lights. This was no reflection but rather a solid, industrial strength vehicle.
I sent this information to the local Oregon Mutual UFO Network. Tom Bowden responded right away and will send a local rep to interview me. However, he thought I should also send this information your way."

Witness sees unknown object hovering over LAX
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 17, 2010
Location of event: near Los Angeles International Airport, California
"At 4:00 PM, I was driving south on Grand View Avenue at the intersection of Venice Blvd, 1 block north of Centinella. I was surprised to see an unknown object that was hovering maybe 1-200,00 feet above the LAX area of the city.
It was rather large - long and wide, kind of like the side of a long and very thick blimp, but dark metallic. I put it in the approximate area of hovering over LAX, which is obviously restricted air space. So no blimp would be in the space.
Plus it hovered, didn't move for awhile. I pulled over and watched it for about 2 minutes. I snapped a pic on my cell, but can't really make out the object."

Bright light chases motorist in Utah
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 15, 2010
Location of event: near Vernal, Utah
"In the evening I was driving home from Vernal, Utah, with my wife and son in our car. At about 7:30 PM, local time, a HUGE, bright, amber-colored light just popped out of nowhere in front of us. It was about 3 miles from me, and about 35 degrees up in the sky in the West. I noticed it because it was obviously the only light in the sky at the time. There were absolutely no stars, planets, planes, or any other sort of light.
I have seen this exact light in the sky before, at least six times this year already! I felt as if it really wanted us to see it. I proceeded to finish driving home. As I was continuing my drive, it moved with me to about 10 degrees above the western horizon. When we got back to my home, I grabbed my camera out of my Jeep and started filming. The object stayed in view for about 30 minutes total. My witness to this is my wife, Nicole, and the footage I have provided.
After filming for about 10 minutes, the object slowly flew North toward the Uintah Mountain Range. It didn't fly off or zoom off, it just kind of faded out of view. The very next day at about 6:30 PM, an unmarked Blackhawk helicopter flew right over my head and went in the exact same direction as the UFO. I even have footage of the helicopter taking pictures of me and my family. In all of the times I and my wife have seen this object, we never ever felt any fear."

Couple see motionless, unknown object over New York
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 17, 2010
Location of event: New York, USA
"My wife and I observed an object above a wooded hilltop on the east side of NY RT 16, while driving south. The object was silver/white in color with slightly darker horzontal line running entire length. The ends of the object were rounded.
Object appeared totally motionless perhaps 200-300 ft above hilltop. Distance between our vehicle (road) and hilltop is about 3000 linear ft.
I would guess that the object's dimensions were perhaps 15-20 feet in height and 100 feet in length. There were no clouds in the sky, and the object appeared to be solid and constant against blue sky.
At first I thought it was perhaps some type of balloon, but it was totally motionless on a breezy day. We drove on, I was driving but my wife kept constant visual on object until we passed a grove of trees near road which obscured her vision for 10 seconds. After we cleared tree obstruction, the object was gone."

Strange encounter of an luminous alien in Chile
Translated version from Inexplicata
Original source - Estrella Iquique Chile
"Chile: Luminous Entity Spread Panic Among Bus Passengers
The sighting of a luminous being on the shore of the region of Tarapacá caused panic among passengers of an intercity bus from Iquique to Santiago de Chile.
The brush with the paranormal took place at 5 a.m. on March 1st 2010, when the passenger bus made a stop along Route A-1, linking from Iquique to Tocopila near the Vicente Mena Beach, between Punta Gruesa and Chucumata.
At that point, one of the female passengers began mumbling in her sleep: “They’re there, outside, there’re here,” creating expectation among her fellow bus passengers. She was wakened by one of her traveling companions. Once awake, the woman reacted as she looked outside the bus, seeing a fluorescent cylindrical structure in the sea. She began screaming and and causing alarm among the other passengers.
Collective panic gripped the passengers at this point, who after a few seconds “claimed having seen a top-shaped spacecraft emerging from the sea”, according to researcher Raul Rivera.
When everyone inside the bus calmed down and endeavored to photograph the luminous structures with their cellphones, the consternation and screams made an encore. “A being standing approximately 3 meters tall, thin and with impressive flashes of light, began walking toward the highway,” explained Rivera, stating that the case is being rigorously investigated in Santiago.
Once in Santiago, the experiencers went their separate ways, “making the investigation a difficult undertaking,” according to Enrique Silva, one of the two persons in charge of the process. He says that until now “only eight eyewitness accounts exist – a paltry sum, considering that an inter-city bus generally transports between 30 and 40 passengers.”
The identities of these eight witnesses is being kept in complete secrecy while future eyewitness accounts are sought, and the investigation can truly be finalized.
One of the open issues of this sighting is that neither the bus driver nor his assistant can be found. This has only served to stoke expectations, as some witnesses claim that the driver’s assistant took photos and videos of the encounter.
“There are key witnesses to the case. We cannot say who they are, nor the company to which the bus belongs. I can only say that something happened, as the eyewitness accounts are in agreement. I can say that a strange phenomenon occurred at that site,” Silva states explicitly.
The rigorous nature of the investigation is not only due to the sighting’s complexity or the difficulties involved in finding the final location of the passengers. The researcher in charge of the study adds that “there is an armed organization involved with the sighting, not as the source of the phenomenon, but as key witnesses. Therefore, the information involved, and the investigative process, must be handled with great care.” Silva explains that “we should have results this week or early next week."

Video taken of unidentified lights near O'Hare Airport
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 10, 2010
Location of event: near O'Hare International Airport, Illinois
"I stepped out back to have a cigarette and it was before daylight savings, so it was very dark still at 8 PM. From my yard I can see many flights preparing to get into their landing paths as O'Hare is east of me, but this was different. Looking EAST from Carol Stream to what appeared to be in the direction of O'Hare, there was a cluster of bright lights in a horizontal line that remained stationary, bright, and flashed red and orange at this point (almost spinning), some moving in and out of vision and some staying, but the ones that disappeared returned to sight after just seconds.
For the most part they stayed in a horizontal line or moved to a semicircle formation with some disappearing and returning and some disappearing all together. But there are consistently 2-3 bright, glowing, pulsating orbs that just didn't move at all.
Assuming they were planes, I continued to watch them to make sure they were moving lower to land, but it didn't happen. The distance from the ground wasn't changing. I grabbed my camera, jumped in my car, and drove about 2 miles East to the mall parking lot where the lights were still there - pulsating and moving in and out of the picture/videos I've included.
Still not convinced, or maybe just freaked at this point and amazed that no one else was seeing what I saw, I drove another approx 2 miles east to a parking lot that's on a hill where I was able to get additional shots of the view where these orbs were STILL visible. Being visible from my backyard that night, I've checked every night since at various time to see if it was possibly planes in a holding pattern, but it's not happened since. I hadn't really noticed them spinning / pulsating with the naked eye, but noticed when I viewed the videos.
The first video (seen below) was from the mall parking lot (2 miles east of my house) and the second video (not shown) was from the hilled parking lot (4 miles east of my house). I used just a Cannon digital camera and have little skill and apparently shaky hands, but tried to zoom in / out so you can see the landscape. I also have some pictures as well. Keep in mind the line of bright, white lights in the video under the white and orange pulsating orbs are actually street lights. Keep your eye right above them to see the pulsating orbs moving in and out of view (video 2).
Editor's Note: Video two has a lot of flare, and was difficult to watch, so I did not include it here) The picture quality is not very good, but zoom in on the lone, orange orb high above the street lights. Maybe a plane, but in line with video 2 and the orbs.
The sky was clear and it was approx 40 degrees. I'm sorry for the quality of the videos, but it was the best I could so at the time."

Two Unknown Objects Seen near Flint, Michigan
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 17, 2010
Location of event: near Bishop International Airport, Michigan
"We were watching for the satellite and it was a bright, clear night, full of stars. A craft appeared and floated towards Bishop Airport. A second craft did the same. We contacted the airport about this incident and were given a number to call in Detroit. They were not interested about this and blew my mother off.
After this, the next day our phone went dead. We have Comcast cable with Internet, phone, and cable TV. We have had the same setup for around 4 years never with any issues. Only our phone went dead. The cable man said it had something to do with the splitters, but as I am very handy with computers and IT things related, I had checked these myself and there were no issues that I could see.
I just recently found this web site and figured you guys would be interested in it. My mother and her boyfriend are the ones who witnessed this, and she would be more then happy to explain it to someone who will actually listen and take her seriously. If anybody else in Michigan witnessed this, it would be great to hear from you and compare notes. However, my mother and her boyfriend did not have the video camera out.
Thank your for reading, and good luck with everything you are doing. Hopefully it won't take to long for the government to tell us the truth about this instead of covering up every bit of evidence."

Silver sphere seen streaking across Virginia
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 17, 2010
Location of event: Virginia, USA
"I was standing alone at the bus stop at 8:45 AM, looking in a southeasterly direction when I spotted a silver sphere streak through the sky at an estimated distance of half a mile and several hundred feet off the ground. The object was observed for a brief 2-3 seconds at a 45 degree angle from the horizon and traveling in a clear blue sky.
It was the size of a dime held at arm's length and heading in the direction of Alexandria, VA, and the Potomac River. Its flight path from behind me would have had it traveling over the Pentagon.
It reflected the sun’s light, and traveled about the same speed that a falling star would be traveling. There was no sound and it simply vanished in flight, not just disappearing over the horizon.
I hadn’t planned on reporting this except that it seemed very similar to the silver-colored sphere described in case 22347 one hour later in Pennsylvania."

Three witnesses observe unidentified object near Santa Barbara, California
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 20, 2010
Location of event: Santa Barbara, California
"At approximately 8:15 PM PST, a group of three individuals witnessed a large, bright, white spherical light moving in a southerly direction towards the city of Santa Barbara. The individuals were facing in the southerly direction when they noticed the light at their 11 O'clock. The object emitted no sound.
Its size was approximately one eighth of the visible moon surface, and equal in brightness. It had no visible blinking lights. The individuals watched the object for approximately 40 seconds. From the viewpoint of the individuals, the object traveled from their 11 O'clock to 9:30 coming from out of a northerly direction.
The object then appeared to fade at the 9:30 position rather than continuing on a more "natural" orbital course. The location of the viewpoint is in the foothills north of Santa Barbara, between Hwy 154 and the 101 just off San Marcos Rd.
The skies appeared clear. The temperature was roughly 58 degrees Fahrenheit."

Sacramento UFO sightings on the rise?
SACRAMENTO, CA -- Are UFOs taking a closer look at Sacramento? Local groups that track possible UFO sightings said there have been several interesting sightings lately.
According to Ben Stoecker, the contact person for the Sacramento chapter of the Mutual UFO Network, there's definitely something going on.
"There's a phenomenon, or perhaps several phenomena, that we don't even begin to understand," Stoecker said. "Maybe they are Pleidians, or whatever, from another planet, or from Mars, even..."

Three, dim, gray lights in triangle formation over Indiana
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 17, 2010
Location of event: Indiana, USA
"I was standing on my deck after picking up some Taco Bell, and I looked up for a minute to look at the stars. I noticed a strange silouhette-like triangle shape out of my peripheral. I started tracking it with my eyes, and noticed there were three dim gray lights in an equilateral triangle formation.
I could not tell if they were connected or separate, but I felt as though it was one craft I was looking at, not three. If you held a nickel up at arm's length, it was about as large as the nickel from point to point. The lights moved at a constant rate the whole time, very fast, in a straight line.
I watched it move silently for about 15 seconds until it was behind the optometry building. I felt both wonderment and fear while I stood there watching it. This is the second time I have seen a trio of lights in the sky. It was way too strange."

UFO buzzes Sydney - and here's 'proof'
Click for larger image.
Just what – or who – propelled the strange flying disc across Sydney’s skyline may never be known. But while the close encounter was over in seconds, it was enough to convince mother-of-two Fiona Hartigan that she’d just seen a UFO. And she has the photos to prove it..."

One object separates into two over Louisiana
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 19, 2010
Location of event: Louisiana, USA
"I heard my dogs barking on my back porch. Thinking it was a rat, I ran outside and looked in my backyard from my pouch. I didn't see anything and glanced up and saw a white, dim object slowly moving across the sky. It was northeast from my house.
First I thought it was an aircraft, but it did not strobe white, green, and red. It seemed very far away and I thought it was a satellite, but it was not clear last night and my porch light was on. Suddenly the object separated into two pieces. One piece going upward, and one going down. I was pretty surprised so I ran inside and told my wife and my mother-in-law.
They just took it lightly. Unfortunately, I don't have a great camera and I was probably the only witness. I'm posting this to see if anyone else has seen this same event."

Boomerang shaped UFO seen over Ohio
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 15, 2010
Location of event: Ohio, USA
"I was taking the trash out and I noticed what a beautiful clear evening it was, and how brightly the stars shown. As I put the trash down, I glanced up and noticed this boomerang-shaped object (almost like a winged shape) gliding quietly along, and was oddly glowing (a very light blue hue).
I looked down for a second until I grasped what I saw. I just stood there thinking how I needed a camera. It was cruising along at a very slow pace, maybe 100-200 MPH. Not fast at all.
When it went behind a cluster of trees about 5 seconds later, I tried to run to the other street, but it was gone. This is the first time I have ever seen anything like this.
I've always been skeptical, but this has definitely changed my mind. Don't be surprised if I keep my head looking towards the heavens more often."

Unknown object videotaped over Ohio, caught disappearing
Description from the original uploader:
"Mysterious flying object over near Lake Erie that moves extremely slow over the course of about 5 minutes, then mysteriously disappears. The object seems to face us the entire time with its lights directed towards us. I thought about the possibility of this object being a airplane, but I believe I have ruled that out, because for that to be a plane and for the lights to be visible for us to see then the plane would have to be coming at us head on. We would have never be able to see the lights if the plane was traveling in a heading that would have prevented us from seeing them. However the lights never seem to dull, an the object slowly moves horizontally across the sky, then all of a sudden it dissappears.
We took the recording back home, an ran it through Vegas Movie Studio and analyzed the object frame by frame, an right before the object disappears the light suddenly intensifies... and then it disappears leaving only a brief gray discoloration that lasts for 3 frames. This recording comes only 10 days after a string of sightings that have captured local news attention in Euclid Ohio on March 7th, 2010.
Filmed at 7am on 3/18/2010 from Walnut Beach in Ashtabula, Ohio near the breakwall. Roughly 60 miles east of Cleveland, Ohio. Comments and thoughts appreciated, I plan to be back on the beach with camera in hand hoping to capture more of this unexplained activity."
Large, glowing object seen over Mackey Mountain in North Carolina
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 15, 2010
Location of event: near Mackey Mountain, North Carolina
"At around 8:00 PM I went to the grocery store about 2 miles from my house. I spent about fifteen minutes inside. It was dark. As I'm walking to my car in the parking lot, facing west is a group of 3 mountains, Greenlee, Hoover and Mackey. Directly above Mackey is a VERY bright object.
I stop and look and rush to my car. The shopping center is attached to a Lowes Hardware. Lowes is in a large field that borders a large shrub farm. I drive to Lowes parking lot and roll down my window, facing west. The object appears to be white with hues of blue emanating at times.
Mackey Mountain is about 3 miles away, as the crow flies. I watch the object for a few minutes, and decide it might be overhead at my house, because you can see Mackey from my front porch.
I call my dad on my cell phone and tell him to go outside and see if sees anything. I keep my eyes on the object until I start getting closer to Mackey and realize it must have been behind the mountain instead of over top of it.
This would make it MUCH larger than I originally thought. I turn back around and go back to Lowes but it is gone. My father didn't see anything.
This is not the first experience I've had. Had a very intense experience in '05. I came home to check if anyone posted sightings in NC and someone had posted one today in Wilmington. That's the east coast of the state and I'm at the western part of the state. Perhaps the two are related."

Unidentified objects photographed near Rachel, Nevada
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 15, 2010
Location of event: Rachel, Nevada
"On March 15, my wife and I had just visited the Little ALeInn on Highway 375 in Rachel Nevada. We left and drove back down 375 and pulled off the road just about a mile past Mailbox Rd. I believe the time may have been approximately 9:00-10:00 PM (PST). In one of the videos my wife mentions 12:00 Central time; this was the end of the sighting.
I parked the vehicle at more or less a forty-five degree angle to the road with the headlights pointed towards the glow of Las Vegas in the sky. This glow also illuminated the mountains and landscape (silhouette etc.). We had pulled off the road to see the stars in the remote sky; we were not there to catch a sighting (13 years married with no break from the kids-type trip).
We were in a hurry to get back to Vegas, but decided to stop along 375. We initially left the car running and lights on with my wife sitting in the passenger seat. I left the car and came around to her side and proceeded to watch the horizon. Once we both saw how many stars there were, I told her to turn off the car and step out with me.
We had both been standing there for just a few minutes trying to get both the digital cameras and the video camera to pick up what we saw. Just then I noticed a bright object (not a shooting star) high up in the sky headed towards Vegas. This object was very small or very high, but did not exhibit normal characteristics of a plane. There were no flashing strobes or sound from engines etc. This object being small, and disappearing quickly, did not really grab my attention. However, moments later from the same direction the object disappeared from came two lights flashing.
They seemed motionless and as if they were affixed to each other. In other words, it seemed that they were attached by a bar or direct line etc. They flashed for a while before I even considered pointing the camera at them. There are many cattle crossing lights of similar color along 375.
It finally dawned on me that those lights had to be miles away and could not possibly be the same type of lights; these lights were much brighter and intense. I pointed the video camera at the objects and could not pick them up until I turned on night shot. The two larger lights were very visible; in addition to this, were two other smaller lights that could not be seen with the naked eye. We watched these objects move from left to right going in the direction of Rachel.
As the two primary objects (PO) moved in this direction you could see other smaller lights moving around them. They would zip from one point to another. As they shot away their illumination would dim. In all probability, there were probably more objects out there than we captured or even saw. I based this on the fact that after watching the video, you can see objects you could not see with the naked eye.
The PO traveled from the direction of Vegas until they were almost perpendicular with 375 before we lost sight of them. We waited for a few more minutes and then decided to leave. We had only gone about a mile or two when my wife screamed “There they are again.”
This time the PO were only a few miles from us (I am guessing about this, their contrast in the night sky made this hard to tell but they were definitely very close to us). In the video I try to use the ground as both a reference and to help make the camera focus as it should. As you will see in the video, based on the ground etc. it seems that they were right on top of us, but I could not figure out why we were not being dowsed by the light.
Also, I did not see any report of this light on the ground. It was as if the light did not travel or radiate like normal lights. This was very strange for something so bright and intense. The PO made very slow movements. The additional smaller objects seemed to jet around the larger ones and were more agile. In one of the videos I think I see something like electricity or sparks coming from the PO.
Now the strangest thing was that the PO seemed to merge with each other right before they “blinked” off or out. Also strange is that I heard my wife say they are gone, but she says this at least a second or two before they “blink” out again on the camera (not sure why there was a delay between her eyes and the camera).
In the stills there seems to be a structure present. As far as feelings went, I think we were just in amazement of the objects. When they reappeared closer to us the second time I think we were both a little frightened. It seemed to be checking us out.
We got a little more worried about the remote location and the fact that there were other objects moving around the PO. I do believe that if we stayed there, the objects would have come closer. I had no feeling whatsoever that the event was over with when we left. These objects were clearly doing something related to that general locale. We decided to leave based on the fact that each time the lights went off, they came back on closer."

Birght light seen in Virginia
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 10, 2010
Location of event: Staunton, Virginia
"I first saw a very bright light (as bright as noon day sun), shortly after sundown - about 1850 hours, in the distance over the Blue Ridge west of Staunton, Virginia from my kitchen window. I got my binoculars, 10 power, and went outside. With the binoculars I saw four very bright lights close together moving slowly to the West - approximate distance 10 miles. As I watched the four lights, three of them appeared to spread out like a fireworks multicolored starburst.
Then, I noticed another object lower on the horizon a few miles to the north, and further away doing the same thing. These were not airplanes or helicopters, I have been around enough of both in the military to know the difference. The object was moving slowly toward the West probably not more than 10 miles per hour. Altitude estimate about 2,000 feet above the mountain tops for the first object, perhaps lower for the second object.
It was a very clear night with excellent visibility. I lost sight of the object as it moved slowly to the west over the horizon."
