Report from MUFON:
Date of event: April 6, 2010
Location of event: Tampa, Florida
"I was driving south on Orient Road in Tampa to get on I-4 and drive west. I glanced up and to the east (I don't know why) and saw a rectangle flying more or less north. I immediately thought of a rectangle my wife and I saw fly north of Orlando International Airport about 7-8 years ago.
I had no idea what it was, but it was not one of ours. I was extremely curious. I kept glancing through trees as I drove to try to keep it in view, but I realized I would not get a good view unless I turned east. So I turned onto Hillsborough Avenue instead of taking my turn to the west.
I was concerned about time, as I had a meeting at 7 PM miles away through traffic. The object was not coal black, but grayish black, as though it was partially transmitting light. It seemed to be about 5,000 feet high, but I was unsure of its length and height. It appeared to be about three of four times as long as it was high and maybe the size of a twin engine commercial jet, but taller.
Most peculiar was that it appeared to be flat, like a gray flag that did not wave. It appeared to be 4-5 miles away, and perhaps 20 degrees above the horizon. I realized that it was shortening in length, which meant it was turning to the east, and that I could not catch up.
Before it started its turn to the east, it was moving through roughly 1-2 degrees of arc per second. I turned around, got back on I-4 this time, and headed west. I could no longer see the object, even in my mirrors.
Surely someone else saw the thing, as this was rush hour traffic, and it had to cross the path of I-4 from Tampa to Orlando, or maybe just stayed on the north side of I-4. I decided to report it to MUFON. I did not think to take a picture with my cell phone. It made no sound, nor did it have lights or a contrail."

Bigfoot in Arizona?
"Ask anyone who's grown up in the small town of Whiteriver in the White Mountains, and they'll tell you that stories of a large, dark and hairy creature lurking around the woods have been around for generations. Now, recent evidence shows that this creature, that the Apache call Keh-Chew, may have never left.
"Have you been drinking? Are you high or something?" Questions A.K. Riley says he gets all the time when he tells people that Big Foot does exist and is living in the White Mountains in Arizona. "You can feel it. It's like someone's watching you," Riley says as he's standing on a dirt road in the middle of the woods on the White Mountain Apache Indian Reservation..."

Multiple, unknown objects seen over Breckenridge, Texas
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 31, 2010
Location of event: Breckenridge, Texas
"My spouse and I saw some strange lights south-southeast of Breckenridge, Texas, at 8:30 PM this evening. The lights were in the direction of Eastland but possibly further south.
I spent the last hour before dusk planting beans and peas in our plowed field. I had just finished for the day and was standing at the NE corner of the field, with a clear 360 degree view of the sky. I was observing a few stars barely discernible above me, when something made me look to my south.
Image left: Witness depiction.
Suddenly a bright white-orange light appeared, then 4 more next to (east of) it. The four came on all at once. They all blinked off at the same time. These lights were approximately 10 degrees above the southern horizon. The lights only appeared for a few seconds each time.
I ran to the house, yelling for my husband to "Come quick, UFOs!" (I didn't know what they were at the time, still don't). I grabbed my binoculars and by the time we got to the field, the lights were gone, but as we stood there, a light appeared, then 3 more in a loose triangle formation.
They all blinked out at the same time, then slightly further east they all appeared again. Each time they blinked out, they would appear a bit further east until I could no longer see them because of the tree line."

UFO and jets seen over Montana
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: April 3, 2010
Location of event: Montana, USA
"I was at my computer until I received a call from my brother who was on his way home, and he told me to go outside to see a light his wife and my other brother were seeing. So I went outside and saw a bright light sitting motionless in the sky. Then my mother and nephew came out and saw the same thing.
I ran back inside to grab my binoculars so I could catch a better look, and as I returned back outside I looked and saw a disc-shaped object that looked as if it were spinning and it had multiple colored lights surrounding it. Then there were 2 to 3 jets pursuing it, it then started slowly moving west, so we took a drive and tried to see if we could get a better look at it.
We parked and watched as the jets gave up and turned around, and we watched for almost 3 minutes until it faded out. We were excited to see this as it happens often, and that's all I have for now until we make another sighting."

Silent, unknown object seen over New Mexico
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: April 2, 2010
Location of event: New Mexico, USA
"About 9:05 PM, My friend and I were sitting on the patio when we saw something strange in the sky. It passed by roughly south to north. It was low in the sky (mountain tops visible above it). It was visible for probably less than a minute before disappearing beyond the neighbor's trees. It made no sound.
It was difficult to determine the size or altitude, but if it was about 3000' AGL (common altitude for airliners passing over our house), it was bigger than (and traveling slower than) an airliner. I have to think it was low, because if it was higher, it would have been huge!
It was very dimly illuminated. In fact, it was difficult to see if you looked straight at it (center field vision is not good at night). It almost looked like it wasn't directly lighted, but might have been illuminated by reflection of the city lights. (Imagine the phosphorescent glow of a ship's wake on the ocean at night.) It had no navigation lights.
Our house is just north of the Tijeras arroyo, between Tramway & Juan Tabo. The patio faces east, with a good view of the south end of the Sandias. We spend a lot of evenings on the patio sky gazing. It is common for us to see aircraft (airliners, helicopters, Ospreys), satellites, weather balloons, and shooting stars. This wasn't any of those."

Three rectangular objects seen over Florida
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 31, 2010
Location of event: Florida, USA
"I was taking the trash out at 9:30 PM, when I glanced up at the sky as I often do. I immediately saw 3 rectangle shaped lights moving across the sky. They were orange/yellow in color, and arranged as if they were the bottom of an aircraft. They were arranged, with one rectangle atop of 2 other rectangles next to each.
The craft moved at a consistent speed to the west, where I eventually lost it on the horizon. The way it disappeared in the sky was much like the space shuttle does as it enters orbit, leading me to believe that this craft was in a low orbit.
From the time I noticed the object above me to when I lost sight of it, was about 10 seconds. This is something I have never seen before, and leaves me baffled. I was never really a believer in UFOs and dismissed most videos I’ve seen on TV. This changed my mind, I’m baffled. I just wish I had time to get it on video."

Three pointed object appears from electric cloud in Pennsylvania
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: April 2, 2010
Location of event: Pennsylvania, USA
"Around 11:28 PM I was sitting in my sunroom. All of the animals began to act up, their sound filled the area. I live on top of one of the mountains so I have a great view down into the city and over to the horizon. High up in the sky I saw a strange electric cloud, it looked like a cloud shadowed the moon because it was very bright, but the moon was nowhere around the area.
I was facing south at the time and with the animals still going crazy, there appeared a three-pointed object with lights at each point. I am partially color blind, but the colors seemed to look like green-blue, or even a yellow-purple, I really can't explain the colors.
I stared at the object, which seemed to appear over the horizon near the Galleria Mall / Airport area. The object hovered for about 20 seconds, there were no blinking lights on it, so I knew it wasn't a normal aircraft.
After 30-40 seconds, it disappeared into another cloud of what I can only explain as electricity. The cloud was amorphous and very jelly-fish like, long and wispy strings with a type of density. The animals stopped barking and the object then reappeared, closer to me than before.
It moved very slowly from east to west, then it stopped again, and then it started to move very fast past my field of vision.amorphous I ran through the house, out the front door and watched it fly quickly overhead towards the west. It made a strange, low humming noise and buzzed by me very quickly then it disappeared suddenly. I went back to the sunroom and sat down very confused."

Tiny community is troubled by Bigfoot sightings
"JAY — For the past month, the Delaware County Sheriff's Office has been bombarded with telephone calls about the legendary elusive apelike creature known as Bigfoot.
It seems the creature was roaming the wooded countryside near Kenwood — a small, isolated community about 20 miles southwest of Jay and surrounded by acres of trees and fresh springs of water.
"We had calls from people that were worried and others wanting to know if it was a joke," Sheriff Jay Blackfox said..."

V-shaped UFO seen over New Mexico
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 31, 2010
Location of event: near Rio Rancho, New Mexico
"Ever since my sighting last summer, I scan the sky whenever possible looking for more. I went outside to let my dog do his thing before retiring to bed and saw what at first appeared to be a star low on the horizon WSW of me over the Rio Rancho area of W. Albuquerque, which is west of road "528" where the suburb density drops off into desert.
This object was very bright, and no other stars were in the vicinity (it was a full moon), and even though it didn't have FAA flashing lights, I still figured it was an oncoming plane's lights or something, and didn't pay particular attention to it. About 2-3 minutes later, I looked again and noticed that the "plane" not only hadn't moved at all, but the bright, white light had now changed to red, so I ran inside to get my binoculars (7 x 50).
Through the binoculars, I saw what appeared to be a large "V" shape, hanging in the air, pulsing red-green-red-green. Rt 528 is about 15 miles from me as the crow flies, and at first this thing appeared huge, but in the 15 minutes I watched it, it leveled out - still pulsing red-green until it drifted west to the point where I could no longer see it with the naked eye.
But through the binoculars, I could still see it, and then in a few minutes it got so far away it was gone. Anybody traveling south on 528, which goes North to South, must have seen this thing as its size was considerable, so I'm hoping for a corresponding report."

Silver disc seen high in California skies
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 27, 2010
Location of event: California, USA
"I let my indoor cats outside to get some fresh air, and while I was sitting in my chair I saw a silver object. At first I thought it was an airliner high in the sky, as I had watched several cross the sky earlier. This was different.
The silver disk-shaped object did not move in any direction for several minutes. As I watched longer, it seemed to move very slowly to the left, then stop and moved back very slowly to its original position. I tried to consider what I was seeing. I knew this was not a balloon as it did not drift or rise in the wind. I was facing east and the object was N.E. at a 45 degree angle. The object seemed to be very high in the sky. I would say 30,000 to 40,000 ft up.
I had the impression that the object was spinning, but can't say for sure because of the distance. After watching the object for 10 minutes, I ran for the back door to get my wife to see it. When we got back outside less than a minute later, the object was no longer visible. I live near a major air corridor and see all kinds of aircraft all the time. This was unlike anything I have ever seen.
I was very disappointed that my wife missed it, as it was very odd. The other high aircraft were making short contrails, but this object had none. I had the impression as I watched the object that I was seeing something very unusual and strange. The object seemed brighter that other aircraft reflecting sunlight, because it was small enough that I could have easily missed it, if not for its brightness.
It was like polished chrome in appearance."

Ring type UFO videotaped over California
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 16, 2010
Location of event: Corona, California
"My son was looking for the International Space Station that night as it was supposed to be visible around dusk. He stayed out there for a while, and it got dark. He did not see the ISS, then he came in and went into his room upstairs for a while.
He glanced out the window to take one last look to see if he could see it, and instead spotted a very small light making very strange patterns and darting at great speeds horizontally and vertically. He ran downstairs and went out the front door and was screaming, "UFO."
He called me out and I was like, "Yeah... sure, it's probably an airplane." I saw it and was in shock!
I called my wife and other kids out and we were just standing there in amazement. After about 10 minutes of this, I was wondering if I could shoot this with my point and shoot still camera, then I realized that I had bought my daughter a video camera for last Christmas, which she never uses. It was still in the box (dead battery, etc, etc), so I had to plug into the outlet on our porch for power and I started shooting. I had never used that camera before, so I was figuring it out as I shot the footage.
Also my daughter had been telling me for a few months now that she had seen a strange looking object several times and would come to get me, but by the time I got there it was gone. I have tried several times to upload sample images of UFO footage that was shot during the sighting to your website, but your system is not working.
I am telling you I have some incredible footage that rivals anything I have seen anywhere. The footage, (seen below), is from the March 16, 2009, sighting showing the craft in great detail, shape shifting, and flying in very strange patterns. Also the next morning my wife was in our back yard and witnessed two (ALL BLACK NO MARKINGS) large, twin rotor helicopters flying very low right over our home. They circled what appeared just over our yard at least 5 times, then flew off towards the North.
We have kept a look out since then and have seen nothing."

Two witnesses get clear view of triangle UFO over Maryland
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 19, 2010
Location of event: Maryland, USA
"My friends and I were outside since it was nice out. There were seven of us. One of the little kids made two of my friends mad so I suggested we lay down in my friend's driveway and look at the stars. We were talking when I noticed the light from a star was blocked out for a moment. I had a double-take and when I looked again, I saw a triangular shaped craft with four orange lights.
Three of these four lights were located near the tips of the craft while the fourth was in the middle. I was in shock. I live in a busy area and my father and I are involved with astronomy and own two telescopes. We both look at the stars all of the time and live near an airport, so we have a VERY clear idea of what a plane looks like at night.
This object wasn't hard to see or obscured by clouds, and I could CLEARLY make out the shape and lights on it. When I saw it, I immediately stood up and shouted to everyone and pointed out the object. One of my friends saw it and kept his eye on it. The object was relatively slow and very low, moving northwest.
This friend always blew off anything about UFOs and thought the whole idea of it was bogus. That is no longer the case. Two other people caught a glance of it, but saw it just before it escaped our point of view. Of course, no one else saw it and when we talk about it they just belittle us. But my friend and I know what we saw."

Cross like object seen over Stow, Ohio

"At approximately 8:05 PM EST, I was traveling westbound in my car on Fishcreek Road in Stow, Ohio. I then observed the object in the sky to the Northwest, above a McDonald's restaurant. At first glance, I thought the object was someone on a motorized paraglider. Upon further viewing, it was NOT a paraglider.
The object appeared to look like a star or cross, and had a mass of something at the junction of where the vertical and horizontal parts met. The object did not appear to be powered and was simply floating northbound.
The object did not have any lights or other shiny parts. I was too far away from the object to detect if it made any sound. I am unsure of its elevation, but it was well above the tree tops.
After turning right onto Darrow Rd (Rt. 91) I still observed the object moving at a modest speed. I turned left into a McDonalds parking lot, circled the building, then got back onto Darrow Rd. to give chase (traveling northbound). I had the object in sight until I turned left onto Terex Rd. I traveled approximately 1/4 mile on Terex Rd. and then made a U-turn heading back towards Darrow Rd.
At that point I could no longer see the object. My last view of the object was at the intersection of Darrow Rd. and Terex Road."

'Nessie' picture branded a hoax
"ATTEMPTS to tout a charcoal drawing supposedly of the Loch Ness Monster as a masterpiece by the Dutch artist Maurits Cornelis Escher have been dismissed as a 'scam' by the managing director of a company which licenses the use of copyright on all the artist's work.
An on-line campaign has been mounted to authenticate the drawing found in an attic by retired traffic cop Raffaele De Feo in Voluturara in Southern Italy. The story has hit the Italian national press and TV..."

Mulitple witnesses sees unknown lights over Stephenville, Texas
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 22, 2010
Location of event: Stephenville, Texas
"I was driving down US 67 into Stephenville. We were staying the night in the area to visit Tarleton State the next day. This was my first trip to the area, and I was with two passengers. I jokingly looked at the sky and said, "Of course we have to see a UFO in this one horse town."
All three of us looked up and saw 6 bright, orange lights that looked like street lamps high in the sky. The lights turned off one by one rapidly. My friend tried to get out his camera but it was too late as the last light had gone out.
The light caught our eye because it was right above us. When we noticed it, we knew it wasn't anything we had seen before. I was thinking it could be a radio antenna, but it never came back on. The object was stationary."

Four pulsating lights witnessed in rural Texas
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 3, 2010
Location of event: Palo Pinto County, Texas
"I was coming out of an oilfield lease in rural Palo Pinto county, a few miles to the east of the Hohertz road area. I spotted 4 large lights pulsing in the night sky ahead of my truck.
They were about 1/4 of a mile away and maybe 300 ft. above the ground. I continued to travel in the direction of the lights, but they disappeared. There were no signs of any aircraft in the area. About a week earlier I had seen something similar, but this time the lights, whatever they were, were much closer.
I've been working nights my whole life. There is something strange going on out there lately. This is something I have never seen before until just recently. I've seen about everything you could see in the night sky and could explain most of it, but not this."

Several unidentified objects over North Carolina
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 19, 2010
Location of event: North Carolina, USA
"I started to sky watch about 8:15 PM EST. I saw a lot of commercial traffic along with local aircraft. I saw 1st object that appeared as an aircraft about 8:25 PM that changed its lighting pattern while in flight, and had no detectable noise moving south to north at a very slow rate. I grabbed one of my stepson's friends to come watch, and he saw the object hovering and just blinking North from house and then disappeared.
Later we saw several other objects that had the exact same light pattern that flew over with no sound also. Flying very slow. We continued to watch the sky, and at approximately 9:30 PM, we saw an object that passed just west of the house moving south to north that looked like two small coffee cups stacked open end on each other.
It seemed to be lit up by an external light, and had one white blinking light on the upper portion. This visual was made by both of us through binoculars. It traveled at a very slow rate. We watched this for about 5 minutes.
About 9:45 we saw an object that was traveling north to south, change directiond 180 degrees and go back. We watched as it disappeared beyond the houses. We returned to house to get warm for a bit, but when returned outside we never saw anything for the rest of the night."

Flickering objects gather the attention of witnesses in North Carolina
Report from MUFON:
Date of event: March 19, 2010
Location of event: Banner Elk, North Carolina
"Three of my friends and I decided to go star gazing on top of a mountain in Banner Elk, NC. It was exceptionally clear. We took 2 cars, 2 of my friends were in another car. They drove to the spot before me and my other friend arrived. I got a text from them around 2:00 AM, saying they had seen a UFO. We quickly got to them, but they said it had disappeared. They said it hovered above the skyline and quickly disappeared.
I was curious so I looked everywhere I could to find something similar to what they described. They described it as red, green, and white flashes of light. All of a sudden, on my right hand side, I noticed something flashing, much brighter than all the other stars. It also flashed red, green, and white light. It stayed stationary for approximately 20 minutes before going into a pattern.
We then noticed 2 more, side by side, close to the star Betelgeuse, following the same pattern of movement, and they had the same flashing lights. Eventually the original one I spotted began to drop below the mountain, and then bobbed up and down, still visible. It then disappeared. The other two objects began to get more faint like they were farther away. Then to the far left of me, one much closer appeared out of nowhere, also with the same pattern and colors.
Then out of nowhere it disappeared. The only two that were left were the two closest to Betelgeuse. We sat and watched until approximately 4:30 AM."
