Triangle UFO clearly seen in Ventura, California

Report from MUFON:

Date of event: April 15, 2010
Location of event: Ventura, California

"At approximately 9 PM PDT, on April 15, 2010, in Ventura, California, I was looking toward the west at the constellation of Orion when I heard a brief “screech” sound lasting around one second and coming from the vicinity which I was viewing. Thinking it was an owl, I quickly looked for it and saw a faint silhouette of something moving in the clear sky.

At first it looked like it was a large bird high in the air as the front and two sides were heavily darkened against the mostly dark sky. It was moving toward me and over a period of about 2 seconds, it became clearer and resembled a hang-glider. It was descending and moving toward the east, and seemed to be gliding smoothly, making no sound that I could hear.

As it reached its closest point to me, what looked to be several hundred feet or so, a very sharp and definite outline appeared. It was an equilateral triangle, and had three circular areas symmetrically placed near the tips. There was a slight contrast between the gray triangular area and the circular areas, as the circular portions had a very faint glowing quality to them.

As it silently continued moving away from me, the craft seemed to have only 2 dimensions. It looked completely flat like it was a projection. It began to gently ripple with smooth wave patterns, and disappeared within a little over a second after doing so. The total event lasted around 8 seconds. I have my master’s degree in physics, and teach college level physics as a career. I am also involved in astronomy. I am about 20 minutes drive from a naval base and do hear and see military aircraft from time to time.

Though it is possible that I was seeing a “secret aircraft,” I am doubtful that such a craft would be flown in such plain view as it was very apparent what was seen. Judging from the change in angular diameter, its descent was fairly rapid and it changed from a dark, fluctuating shadow into a crisp configuration, lightly contrasted against the clear dark sky.

I would estimate the base of the triangle to be around 50 feet, though I could be way off. Once leveled off at around 500 feet, it glided forward at perhaps 100 miles per hour until it disappeared from sight somewhat like a mirage does. The measured angle from the horizontal at which the craft began to wave out of sight was around 20 degrees. It all happened very fast and was short in duration, making it difficult to be definite on measurements.

All in all, I saw a craft without doubt and I am perplexed by what I have seen."

Strange, boomerang shaped UFO seen over California

Report from MUFON:

Date of event: April 17, 2010
Location of event: Red Bluff, California

"My friends and I were in our hometown of Red Bluff, CA, for the annual rodeo each year, on April 17, 2010, and we had just finished eating dinner at our friend B's house. Around 9:30 PM, we decided to go into town for the festivities, and since there were more than a handful of us, a few of us had to jump in the back of my buddy T's truck.

Image left: Witness depiction.

We were all laying down in the bed of the truck so that we wouldn't be pulled over. It was myself, "K", "B", and B's brother "C", who were in the back of the truck. As we drove along, we were all talking loud, looking around at different things as we whizzed along Wilcox Rd, when suddenly I hear "K" yell out, "Hey, I see a UFO!" and I was like, "What? You're kidding," and I look up into the middle of the sky directly overhead and see this strange shape that at first reminded me of an angular cloud, in a kind of boomerang shape, but a cloud that was moving, and moving quite briskly.

It immediately clicked in my mind that this was not a natural object or a natural cloud. It moved in a fashion that is impossible for a cloud, and there was not a natural cloud in the nightsky, it was completely clear out. As my disbelief turned to awe, I continued to stare at the object as it glided over our position in complete silence, and I saw that within the cloudy substance that flowed from the front of the object to the rear, was a geometric boomerang shaped object, with sharp lines, as if drawn by a ruler, contrasting against the background.

The cloudy mist-like substance seemed to spring forth out of nothing from the front of the object, and trailed over the rest of the craft towards the rear. And as we gazed on in amazement for what was probably at most, 10 seconds, it approached the tree filled horizon, and that coupled with our turn on the road, took it out of our view.

We could not believe our eyes, and started cursing a myriad of profanities uttering our complete amazement at what the hell just happened, and what the hell we just saw. "B" and "C" had looked up a bit later than "K" and I, and had failed to see the geometric boomerang shape within the cloudy substance, but they did see the cloudy mist, in an angular fashion, gliding across the sky in a straight line briskly. It had absolutely no sound at all, no lights, and moved in a completely straight line, in a direction that I believe was North or Northeast.

We have no idea how big it was, only that it looked extremely large. When talking about it with "K" later he told me that he held his hand up to the sky afterwards, with his pinky finger and index finger extended outwards, the others tucked in, in a sort of devil's horn you might say, and he felt like the distance between the two fingers pointing outwards was a good approximation of the wingspan of the strange object in the sky. This however, really does not solve the question of just how big it really was, rather it only makes the argument for it being rather large. If it was close to us in the sky, it was still huge as all hell, and if it was even higher up in the sky, then its size is even larger, almost mind boggling large.

This story is written with all honesty and complete truth. Both "K" and I had always believed in the possibility of UFOs, but had never seen or experienced anything like this in our lives. After talking about it more and more, we both feel like this is an event that has changed our lives forever. To us there is no question about it: this was a real UFO, and it was not of this Earth. There is absolutely nothing manmade out there, not the stealth bomber, or anything, that can match up to what we saw that night.

Immediately the following day after seeing the object, I began to research online what sightings of UFOs were out there that met the same description, and I came upon a sighting of a UFO seen over Belville, Texas, in September of 2009, Case Number 19343. The article describing the UFO fit our description perfectly in almost every detail. The way it was described to be moving, that at first it seemed to be a fast moving cloud, but not a cloud at all, the way it looked, and the way it glided across the sky in a straight line.

After reading this, I knew that this was the exact same craft we saw, and that we were not alone in witnessing such a spectacular object. I will forever be changed by this. Let people judge me how they may, but I speak the truth. This is what I saw, and I was not alone in seeing it. Something IS out there."

UFO picks up Laconia, New Hampshire car with teens and drops 180 feet away

"Two New Hampshire teenagers sitting in a parked car were approached by a black-colored UFO in Laconia on March 20, 2010, lifted into the air and then dropped back onto pavement 180 feet away, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.

MUFON New England State Director Steve Firmani confirmed his investigation of the case today by telephone and said witness interviews had been completed.

The 18-year-old girl and 16-year-old boy both offer testimony about their encounter...

"Goblin" attacks schoolboy in Zimbabwe

"A THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD Visitation Makumbe High schoolboy cut short his studies in February after he was afflicted by a strange condition that causes him to physically fight an invisible “monster”.

Confirming the boy’s condition, Visitation Makumbe High School resident priest Father Barnabas Mukumba last week said the boy initially complained of stomach pains that were followed by bouts of unconsciousness.

The Form One student was described as intelligent and scored four units in last year’s Grade Seven national examinations. The school authorities believe that the invisible “monster” could be a “goblin”...

Funnel shaped UFO seen over Illinois

Report from MUFON:

Date of event: April 10, 2010
Location of event: Illinois, USA

"Whilst driving home on Saturday evening (4/10/2010) with my wife after grocery shopping, we saw a very strange flying object in the night sky at 8:35 PM. At first it appeared to be the bright light of a plane or helicopter, but then as it neared there was a 'funnel' shaped array of flashing lights emanating from the center of the large bright light in an upwards direction.

Image left: Witness depiction.

As it passed overhead at a relatively slow speed, it appeared that the funnel shaped lights were engulfing the large bright light and were much bigger in diameter. I turned into a side street to watch the object disappear to the southwest. I heard no sound at all coming from the object.

Anybody got any ideas as to what we saw? By the way we had not been shopping for booze!!

Family sees two triangles over Michigan

Report from MUFON:

Date of event: April 11, 2010
Location of event: West Bloomfield, Michigan

"My family (three of us) was driving from West Bloomfield, Michigan, to Pontiac on Telegraph Road, when we looked to our right, just before the Oakland County Court House, and just after the Summit Place Mall. There were two aircraft in the sky, seemed to be triangle shaped, extremely low flying, and they seemed quite small - maybe three-four feet across.

They would touch one another and then shoot apart and touch each other again. It appeared to be a game of leap frog. Both craft had white, blue, and red lights on them. We were not sure what the objects were, they appeared to be large kites, but kites cannot move the way they maneuvered.

The driver refused to stop to allow us to get a better look at them; we saw them for about four to five minutes, long enough to know they were not kites. We lost sight of them quickly because we were moving."

Low flying objects seen in Texas

Report from MUFON:

Date of event: April 8, 2010
Location of event: Texas, USA

I was coming back home from college in my car, on the 83 highway, late at night. My mother called to see when I was going to arrive, and I answered her call from my cell phone. I was on the passenger seat at this time, while a friend drove me home. My mother was upset I was coming home late, so I ignored what she was saying to me, and instead looked out the windshield at a slight angle towards the driver's side.

Image left: Witness depiction.

In the sky, across from Alvarez Rd (in between Rio Grande, TX and Roma, TX), I saw a bright white light, a perfect sphere. My first reaction was: "Oh my God! What's that?

"Oh my God. it’s moving..." While the driver still drove at 55 -60 mph, I kept track of the object for a few seconds.

The object was NOT far up in the sky, but instead it seemed to be pretty low to the ground. I saw it moving down towards the ground as if it were going to land. It moved downward in the shape of an arc, a movement I believe no airplane or helicopter do when they plan to land.

Anyhow, I do not know if the object landed, because I lost sight of it once it got too low to the ground because of trees covering the view. I noticed there was a house near where the object was, but there may be more than just one. The driver did not see what I saw, but I wanted to ask people around the area where I saw this object if they had seen something similar to what I saw, but I was too scared of doing that for fear of being called crazy.

What made me first notice the object was its perfect sphere-shaped bright-white glow. When I first saw it, I didn't think anything of it; until I saw it was actually moving downward as if to land. I thought it could be perhaps a UFO because of the way it moved downward, forming an arc path.

During the sighting I felt in disbelieve; it was very unexpected, because I was not looking at the sky to find strange things, but yet there it was in plain sight. While still on the phone with my mother, I told her what I had seen: the bright, white light shaped as a sphere.

After the sighting when I got home, I asked myself what it could have been and started considering possibilities, yet I could not find an explanation for it. So I arrived at one conclusion: an Unidentified Flying Object... apparently about to land.

Back-lit saucer-shaped object seen in North Carolina

Report from MUFON:

Date of event: March 3, 2010
Location of event: North Carolina, USA

"I was out walking my dog, and I looked up and saw a blimp-like object that looked like a saucer-shaped object that moved with no sound and I guess no engine as we know them. It moved slowly and it was like dark matter - that was the only way I know how to describe it. The light behind the craft made it visible, and I could see just how huge it was.

You could see the blackness of the ship outline. You could see the eeriness of the ship. I was so afraid just because of the size of this thing? I guess that I am in shock. My dog just looked at me fall to the ground. Why is this being a regular thing here, and not all of the area.

I feel that I need someone to protect me and the rest of society from these flying objects. I just wish that people would realize that these are a threat to us. The Airport wouldn't say either way if or not there was anything in the sky that night?"

Huge, object with four lights seen speeding in California skies

Report from MUFON:

Date of event: April 9, 2010
Location of event: near San Francisco, California

"I went outside for a smoke at around 1:10 AM this morning. I was looking at the stars facing southwest, when something caught my eye. I quickly looked over, and in 1-2 seconds I saw 4 lights moving at an incredible speed past the roof of my house. I quickly ran around to the side of the house to see what it was.

For the next 2-4 seconds I clearly saw 3 lights forming a triangle speeding across the sky directly south. There was also a light right in the middle of all 3. There was a large distance between the lights, because at the speed they were moving, they stayed in perfect unison probably 5-6 miles apart from each other.

I'm not sure whether or not these were rim lights to some large craft, but it seems unlikely since the distance between them stayed in a perfect triangle. If this is the case, the craft must have been absolutely huge. The speed of this object was approximately (and I'm guessing here) 10-15x faster than the airplanes I observed in the sky over the San Francisco Bay Area during the minutes after the sighting. I can't stress enough that this thing was moving INCREDIBLY FAST!

The night sky during the event was very hazy, with the lights from San Francisco making it hard to see the stars. I lost sight of the object in the haze traveling southward. The lights also appeared to be speeding up. For the past year, I lived outside the city, and saw many shooting stars during the night and early morning. I am absolutely certain that these lights were not shooting stars. I hope this report is of use to someone.

Cheers,

Stuartb"

Multiple, unknown lights seen over Pennsylvania

Report from MUFON:

Date of event: April 3, 2010
Location of event: Pennsylvania, USA

"I was standing on the steps of my back porch when I saw these five-seven lights moving very fast. The color was kind of orange at first. That must have been because they came through the low, scattered cloud cover and the lights from town shining up hindered the glow. Whatever they were, they were moving very fast.

They were not in formation until they started to get out of the viewing area that I could see. They then formed a V-formation, but all I could see was just three of them when they formed up. The objects were going due north on the east side of Clarion, again they were moving very fast.

I just cannot believe what I saw. This is the second time I have seen lights in the skies over Clarion, PA. I'm 60 years old and lived in the country all my life and looked at the stars and airplanes at night and haven't seen anything.

In the last six months this is the second time. What on God's earth is going on?"

Massive meteorite seen across multiple States

Non-paranormal post now.

Apparently a massive meteorite was seen across several Midwestern U.S. States. According to the National Weather Service the light lasted about 15 minutes and disintegrated into smaller pieces before disappearing.

Why do I write a post about this. The reason is to make clear for all that think it's UFO related, some you actually thought so. It's not.

"(CNN) — Authorities in several Midwestern states were flooded Wednesday night with reports of a gigantic fireball lighting up the sky, the National Weather Service said.

The fireball was visible for about 15 minutes beginning about 10 p.m., said the National Weather Service in Sullivan, Wisconsin, just west of Milwaukee...

Two witnesses see two separate unknowns in Colorado

Report from MUFON:

Date of event: April 7, 2010
Location of event: Colorado, USA

"I stepped outside at approximately 2:00 AM to smoke and saw a bright light hovering or slowly moving in my direction. It was not shining a light, but more like illuminating itself about 30 ft above a neighbors house. It took about 2 minutes to get closer and as it did, I called my younger sister which also witnessed the craft.

We could tell it was not a helicopter or anything like that because we were so close we could not see propellers or hear any noise. It was just hovering, and then slowly moved on until we lost sight of it. We also noticed another bright light about 10 ft above an apartment across the street which seemed to be just hovering, and then 2 more crafts appeared no higher than the street lights at the corner of our block.

We recorded this one on our camera phone. The light above the apartment seemed to just disappear. We witnessed these craft for about 10 minutes or more. We can assure you it was no plane, helicopter, or anything like that. We were so close that we could tell it wasn't anything of our military, the news, or from the airport.

When first seeing this light I couldn't believe it. I wasn't sure if I was seeing a UFO or not until it got closer and then that's when I knew for sure. I am now a firm believer and no one can change my mind. I know what I saw and no one can tell me different."

Strange flying object moves over bridge in Pennsylvania

Report from MUFON:

Date of event: April 11, 2010
Location of event: Pennsylvania, USA

"I went to Pennsylvania for a weekend vacation. When we were driving back, we took the Ben Franklin Bridge back into NJ. As we were on it, I noticed off to my right there was a stationary object above the water about a mile from my location.

The object was also sort of hazy. As a bridge support went by my vision, the object was gone from the area that I originally viewed it. I then saw it approximately 2 miles to the east a second or two later. It once again was stationary. It was in the same position in the air and strangely did not increase or decrease in size even though my distance from it changed.

While moving down the highway, it was obscured by trees for a couple seconds, then it was gone when I was able to see its location again. I looked all around the area, however, could not get any other location on it. I remember thinking to tell the other four people in the car with me, but for some reason, I didn't tell anyone about it until later that night.

The entire event may have lasted about 10 seconds from start to finish. The object could have been easily seen by anyone in the area due to its location was in a wide open area of the sky over the water. This object should have been recorded on the radar of the Philadelphia Airport. It was well within reach of their radar, and the area of that airport.

Judging by my memory of its location, it was probably closer to the Walt Whitman Bridge than the Ben Franklin Bridge. Even if I was mistaken on this object and it was a plane, the shape was close to a proper "L" shape and to relocate to its second location, the "plane" would have had to be flying backwards. Not possible. This event took place on 04/11/2010 at approximately 3:30 to 4:00 PM, EST."

Cigar shaped UFO moves over California building

Report from MUFON:

Date of event: April 6, 2010
Location of event: California, USA

"We were sitting in the hot tub by our apartment in the city, when we heard what sounded like the drone of engines. We looked up and saw a cigar-shaped object just barely clearing the top of the buildings. The object was about 100 feet in length and had steady red lights on the bottom of it.

The lights were rectangular in shape, and there were four along the bottom length of the object. It moved rather slowly across the sky from East to West, it seems to take a long time for it to fly past us.

It is very rare when a plane flies over our 15 story apartment building, and then it's typically only a small plane or helicopter. We can see to the West of us aircraft approaching the Sacramento airport, however, they typically are traveling north. The object that we saw would have flown right into the flight pattern of approaching planes at the airport.

After the object got a couple of miles past us, we could no longer see it, as the buildings and trees blocked our sight."

Best places to spot UFOs

"It was just another winter night in Stephenville, Texas, when Steve Allen, a 30-year aviation veteran, saw something that defied all logic—an eerily silent, mile-wide craft ringed in lights that would “rearrange themselves” racing across the sky at what he estimated to be 3,000 miles per hour.

“I don’t know if it was a biblical experience or somebody from a different universe, but it was definitely not from around these parts,” Allen told a reporter from the Empire-Tribune after the sighting on Jan. 8, 2008. Similar reports poured in from across Erath County...

Two circular UFOs seen over Ohio

Report from MUFON:

Date of event: April 3, 2010
Location of event: Ohio, USA

"Around 9:00 PM, my brother and I went out into a field next to our home with binoculars to look at some stars and whatever else we could see. As we sat there, all we were seeing were planes. After about 15 minutes I took my eyes away from the binoculars and two grayish objects flying from the southwest caught my eye.

I was expecting them to be planes or something like it, but instantly I could tell they weren't. I said to my brother, "Hey, look at those," as I pointed in their direction. I looked at them through the binoculars, but could only see their shape with no details except some lines on the bottom. They were very low compared to aircraft, and were dead silent.

They flew side by side in a straight line with a large gap in between. They got closer, and I could see they were circular and had dark, curved lines on the under side. There were no visible lights, and the size of both was hard to tell, but if I had to estimate I would say they were 25 feet across. As we watched them, we was amazed because we had never seen anything like it. They were visible for about 15 to 20 seconds as they flew to the northeast. They went out of sight when they flew over the tops of some trees.

My brother and I talked about what we saw, and we seemed to describe them the same way. Afterwards we waited for another 15 minutes to see if more would show up, but nothing like it was seen again."

Object makes unusual maneuvers over Missouri

Report from MUFON:

Date of event: April 2, 2010
Location of event: Missouri, USA

"I was driving northwest on 291 Hwy when I noticed a white, shiny object moving slowly across the sky. At first I thought it was a large plane, but it had no wings or tail. It looked like two oval- shaped objects with a piece connecting them in the center.

As I watched, it stopped and went backwards, then forward again very quickly, then continued on its slow forward movement. This happened again, then I lost sight of it because I had to turn left at a light.

I pulled over to the side of the road to see if I could find it again, but it was gone. Due to the fast, jerky movements backward, then forward again, this could not have been a plane or helicopter. It moved too fast for that.

The object was headed in an East-West direction at 40 degrees off the horizon. It looked very large. The sky was clear with no overcast."
