Two witnesses spot unidentified objects over Pennsylvania

Report from MUFON:

Date of event: February 6, 2010
Location of event: Pennsylvania, USA

"I was shoveling my deck with a friend after the big Mid-Atlantic snow storm on February 6th. While shoveling, I happened to look up and saw 2 bright lights, approximately one finger width apart. My initial thought was, “Those planes are close or going to hit each other.”

A few seconds after I saw the lights, I quickly asked my friend to check the objects out. At this point we are both observing the two lights. I love astronomy and know star / planet positions very well- the 2 lights were in the northeast from my position, and planets would never be in this part of the sky. The details: the lights were the magnitude of Venus, very bright, a steady light (like a planet looks, no twinkles like a star).

In fact, it looked like 2 Venuses in the northeast sky at 8 PM Eastern Time USA. I held my hand up to see if the lights were moving; I thought maybe they were flares. There was no movement. I was in the military and know how flares move. The lights were 45 degrees from each other; the one right was higher, left lower.

My friend and I kept observing, asking “what the heck is that?” for about 2 minutes. Then the light on the bottom left winked out slowly, and 2 seconds later, the one on the right winked out. There was no movement across the sky; it looked like they were moving away from our viewing position, or disappearing. There were no more sightings after that.

More info- I live in an area where you see the commercial planes flying west out of Philadelphia. While we were observing the 2 objects, they disappeared while a plane flying out of Philadelphia came between us and our viewing position of the objects. Using the plane as an altitude reference, the lights were higher.

Report of strange flying objects over Florida

Report from MUFON:

Date of event: February 28, 2010
Location of event: Florida, USA

"Last night as my wife and I were standing on the back stairs smoking, we both witnessed a glowing object come from left to right, high in the sky over our house. The object was very bright and very abruptly stopped, and shot almost completely straight up out of sight.

Within a few seconds of its disappearance, we both witnessed a helicopter with a search light in the area of about where we saw it disappear. After about 20 minutes, the helicopter left. Now also over the past month, both my wife and I together and alone, have witnessed several bright, orange balls of light in the horizon at the front of our home that all suddenly disappear.

One we watched for approximately 30 minutes and it passed over relatively close to our position. It was round, large, and had several multi-colored lights on it. I live near a private airstrip, a municipal airport, and 2 military installations. Aircraft passing over our home is nothing new to us and we have learned to distinguish between stars, airplanes, helicopters, and what not.

None of these things we have seen recently comes close to resembling any of the normal aircraft we come across out here.

Texas truck driver reports large, strange lights

Report from MUFON:

Date of event: February 24, 2010
Location of event: Between Cisco, Texas and Rising Star, Texas

"I was driving a hazardous material transport truck between Cisco and Rising Star, TX, southbound on Highway 183. I noticed an extremely bright series of 3 lights in the sky. The lights weren't moving or were moving very slowly. I passed a car that had partly pulled over to view the sight and thought about pulling over myself.

The shoulder was too narrow, so I proceeded in a southerly direction toward the lights high in the southern sky. Then an additional 6 lights came on, and the lights covered at least 1/4 mile of the sky. I turned my spotlight on and shined it in the direction of the lights.The lights went out after a few minutes, and the sky was dark with no signs of any aircraft or aircraft lights.

I could see planes in the far distance, but nothing in the immediate area. Then the original first 3 lights reappeared for a few more minutes and went back out again. I was closer this time but still could see no signs of aircraft of any sort. The lights were very bright and impossible to not notice. There were 2 cars behind my truck, and they were sure to have seen the sight as well as the folks that had pulled over.

I studied the sky carefully. I have worked at night a lot in my life. I have seen the space shuttle re-enter the atmosphere, space junk fall, and catch fire, comets, meteors of all sorts, apache helicopters with lights underneath, and passenger jets with landing lights on. These lights were quite unique in comparison to anything I've ever seen. The light they admitted was white and bright with no colors at all. I would love to get a look at the radar at 8:02 pm. It was several small crafts or one very large one.

Multiple objects unknown maneuvering over Kansas

Report from MUFON:

Date of event: February 16, 2010
Location of event: Great Bend, Kansas

"I noticed these lights when I stepped out to my car to grab a bag of clothes to bring in. I glanced to the north to what I thought were a few airplanes flying near each other, I looked again to notice that these lights were far too unusual to be typical aircraft. I ran inside to fetch my video camera and my father. What I saw was approximately 4 to 15 objects at any given time. They would group and scatter frequently, moving in very erratic paths. They changed their direction effortlessly within a full 360 degree spectrum.

Their lights were pure white, and pulsed without a distinguishable pattern. On several occasions many of them would disappear from sight only to reappear again in completely different spots. About 10 minutes after my dad and I began watching them, two jets came along and seemed to be attempting to get near the objects.

The jets were easily recognizable compared to the objects, they moved in very linear paths, had the common red and blue aircraft lights, and turned in stretched arcs. Every time a jet came near one, the object would "bounce" out of its way at a sharp 90 degree incline, then would quickly change directions again. I was watching this from 18th and Van Buren looking straight north, starting around 8:30 PM. We continued to watch for 15 minutes or so from this location until they all began to head further north, out of our viewing range, so we hoped in my car and headed out on McKinley, just north of Twin Lake,s and continued to watch them dart back and forth across the sky until they eventually sped off to the southeast, moving far too fast to keep an eye on them by car.

I managed to capture a little bit on video, though most of the time they were moving too fast and changing direction too frequently for my camera to stay focused enough to see them. The video does capture the unusual sequence of lights blinking on and off, and reappearing elsewhere.

I cannot say that what we saw was a group of UFOs, or a strange government test, for that I am unsure, but these do defy a logical explanation on my behalf, and I feel deserve some sort of investigation. I will release the video after email contact when I feel comfortable with whom contacts me. I do not wish to come off as arrogant, I just prefer not to open a can of worms.

I am typically skeptical as far as unusual sightings go, but this left me unsure as what to think. Thank you for your time.

Unknown lights over Florida caught on photograph

Report from MUFON:

Date reported: February 27, 2010
Date of event: February 26, 2010
Location of event: Florida, USA

"I was driving to work at 5:00 AM, when I saw 4 lights in an arrow form. There were 2 lights on one side, 2 lights on the other.

I kept driving and when I looked up again, the lights were moving. They seemed to be interweaving for a few seconds, they they spread out in a straight line.

Then they began to disappear one by one.

Cigar shaped UFO - long as football field over Michigan

Report from MUFON:

Date reported: February 25, 2010
Date of event: February 16, 2010
Location of event: Okemos, Michigan

"On February 16, 2010, at or about 3:08 PM, I was driving south on N. Meridian Rd, north of Grand Rives Ave, near Okemos, MI. Weather was very cloudy, solid, dark storm type clouds, they did not appear to be moving. I was not looking at the sky, but noticed large movement through the tops of approaching trees.

I realized immediately what I was seeing was not normal and slowed the car to a crawl, all most stop, as I am not one to look away from the road in front of me while driving. I saw a large oblong shape (cigar shape) at least the length of a football field or even longer. The height I can only guess was maybe 80 to 100 foot tall. It was maybe 1000 foot off the ground. I really do not know, but did measure with my hand. It was darker then the clouds behind it.

It was a matted, flat charcoal black with very defined edges, it seemed like it was outlined in a darker black at the edges. If it were not for the darker edges, it almost would have been camouflaged to the clouds behind it, but the edges made the shape very defined and stand right out. The shape was moving southeast steadily, but much slower than an airplane. My brain tried to say that it was a HUGE black airplane, however there were no wings. If it were a plane I could see it clear enough.

I should have seen huge wings, but it was way, way, too big to be a plane, and moving too slow to be a plane. I watched it for about 10 seconds then it disappeared. About 6 seconds after that, it reappeared for about 15 seconds again, still moving in the same direction. No lights, it just disappeared again. I thought maybe I should stop and just watch for a few minutes, then decided to go slow and keep glancing for it in the direction it was headed, and I could get past the trees, and maybe see it totally unobstructed from trees.

Although, in no way did the trees prevent or alter what I was seeing, I just wanted complete view without any trees. I continued south on Meridian Rd seeing nothing. I crossed Grand Rive Ave, continued on, when I came to the I-96 overpass. About 5 minutes after seeing the object I decided to stop the car on top of the overpass and just look, as long as no cars were on the road. I figured I would just look in the direction the craft was heading when I saw it, taking advantage of the height of the overpass and wide-open space and maybe see it again.

I was not stopped but maybe 30 seconds and I saw a lightning-like, almost blinding pulse-type intensity flash of blue, white clear light in the sky at about the same height as the object was flying. The flash was not lighnting. It held a large oblong shape for the entire time it was visible, about 6 seconds. I would say the shape was the size of a large two-story house.

It was directly over the highway towards Williamston. It seemed to have depth somehow in the center. I have to feel this was related, as that area would have been about where the object would have been if it continued on the same path of flight and speed it was traveling just minutes earlier. I cannot think of anything else in the area that it could have been. It was not a normal thing to see, and it was above the highway, which goes on for miles in the same direction at the same elevation, it would not have been a reflection from traffic in the distance, it was too high. It reminded me of a huge doorway, but it was like lightning. There were cars approaching so I moved on.

Motorist sees triangle UFO over Florida

Report from MUFON:

Date reported: February 23, 2010
Date of event: February 18, 2010
Location of event: Orlando, Florida

"While traveling from the Atlanta, GA, to the Ft. Lauderdale area, on the evening of Thursday, Feb. 18, at around 9:15 PM, I was driving south on Florida's Turnpike, when I noticed some light in the sky, off to my left, which caught and held my attention. I immediately asked myself, "What is that?" The light I saw was standing still, way up in the air. I thought that it might be on a tower... but it would have had to have been 200 feet up in the sky, and that didn't make sense.

So I kept glancing at it as I drove on, trying to figure out what I was seeing. I managed to see some light reflected off the object, and I made out that this huge flying object was just hovering in the sky, and the light on it was constant... it was not blinking.

I could not stop anywhere along the road... it was pitch black and it would not have been safe. So I continued for a few more minutes, constantly checking the object. I saw what appeared to be a black, very large, boomerang-shaped aircraft, with a light, and not moving... just hovering in the sky.

Unfortunately, when I could finally stop, it was at a very well lighted service area, which prevented me from really getting a good look at the object. At that point, it seemed to slowly move off, but I was not able to make out the entire shape of the craft. As I got back on the road, I noticed that there were lots of planes in the sky, also off to my left, as I was near an airport, around Orlando, FL.

However, as I studied the planes and their lights, it was very clear to me that the light on the object that I saw was not at all like the lights on the planes I was now seeing. That led me to believe that my eyes were not playing tricks on me. I had actually seen a huge, unidentified flying object in the sky. I just wish I could have parked sooner and gotten a good look... and perhaps a snapshot.

Unknown light in configurations over New Hampshire

Report from MUFON:

Date reported: February 16, 2010
Date of event: February 13, 2010
Location of event: Hartland, Vermont

"A friend and I were grilling steaks on our back deck and admiring the beautiful night sky. There were clouds, but very high up. It was windy, from the northwest. My friend first noticed three configurations of five red lights each, steady and not blinking. They were close to a mile up in altitude, and some distance away, over New Hampshire on the east side of the Connecticut River.

We were situated near the top of Cobb Hill with a clear view of the area in which these lights appeared to be situated. The groups were far apart, at least fifty to a hundred yards. They were positioned one over the other, but not in a straight line, the middle group being to the right of a straight line between the top and bottom groups.

What was noticeable was that the lights did not move relative to the ground or relative to each other for close to five minutes; they just hung there in the air. I left my friend and went inside to get the others in our group. By the time I returned, probably twenty seconds later, my friend said that the lights just left almost instantly just before we had come outside.

We speculated as to what the lights might have been. They were much too high to be something tethered to the ground. If they were aircraft or helicopters they would have moved, at least relative to each other. They were too far apart to be lights from the same vessel of any kind. We could not come up with a reasonable explanation.

The sighting was not frightening, but puzzling. Neither my friend nor I have ever seen or reported a sighting of any kind before. I don't drink and he had had less than one beer. Neither of us uses drugs nor is either of us on any kind of suspect medication that might have affected our senses or perceptions, and we saw exactly the same thing.

Unidentified object seen and videotaped over Texas

Report from MUFON:

Date reported: February 18, 2010
Date of event: February 16, 2010
Location of event: Texas

"Just like the people that saw this in Vernon Lake in Louisiana… they got pics and I got some video… hope they get to see this. I walked outside of our home and saw an orange looking orb to the east from HWY 21 in Geneva TX. I went back in and got my camera and my wife and took some video.

This thing would fade out for a long time and then the light might be 1 or 2 and then fade again. I waited and filmed what I could from about 7 - 10:00 PM. The videos are shaky because I am free holding the camera, and it's not on a tripod.

I phoned 3 friends and they saw it also, one of those said she saw it until 11:00 PM. I think that the best video on here is #4285 (shown below) when a truck passes our home and it helps to see how large it is, and you can see what we are seeing on the horizon to the east from here.

I saw a triangle (1/2 to 1 mile wide) in 2003, missed catching it on camera, and now I have a camera near me since then and I’m always looking up. We have ruled out that this was a natural gas flare, because it moved from 90 degrees to about 100-110 degrees within 3 hours from where I was standing.

I will be watching the skies again tonight.
