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."

Motorist spots flying rectangle in Tampa, Florida

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."

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."

UFO photographs - New York City, New York, March 20, 1950



These photographs of was taken in New York City, New York and a cylindrical shaped UFO hovering over the city. It was taken on March 20, 1950 by an unknown photographer. These photographs were investigated both by Project Grudge and Project Blue Book. Project Grudge’s, little incredible, conclusion was that it was the moon.

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."

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."

UFO photographs - Salem, Massachusetts, July 16, 1952


This photograph was taken by Shell Apert, a USCG seaman, on July 16, 1952 when he saw four bright lights in formation over Salem, Massachusetts. When he first saw the objects he called another Guardsman to see the lights, but in those few seconds the lights had become dimmer. When they brightened again, he quickly took a single photograph through the window of the office. This photograph was investigated by Project Blue Book and was considered “unexplained”.

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."
