North Carolina witness unsure: UFO or drone? (VIDEO)
North Carolina witness unsure: UFO or drone? (VIDEO)
A North Carolina witness at Wake Forest is considering he may have simply shot video of a drone, but was unable to positively identify the object captured last spring, according to testimony in Case 82061 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness shot video from his cell phone from the front of his home on a bright, sunny afternoon, about 4:30 p.m. on April 2, 2016.
“I’m near a lake and river, so I’m used to seeing large birds, like herons,” the witness stated.“Unless the distance was greater than I thought, I don’t think this was a bird.”
Cropped and enlarged frame from the witness video.

The witness noticed this object moving from his right to left, northeast to north, at a slow, but steady speed.
“It made no noise that carried to my position. My first thought was that it was a drone, due to the spherical shape, slow rate of horizontal travel, etc. There also appears to be either some spinning upon its own access or fluttering (perhaps bird wing flapping) motion. The object was 200 – 400 feet above the horizon, and perhaps one-half to three-quarter mile from my vantage point. I’ve never been unable to determine to which basic, real-world category an observed object belongs, which is why I thought it might be a drone.”

The witness has no drone background.
“I’ve never seen a drone in flight, in person, from a distance. I don’t think it’s anything other than something mundane, but would like to know your opinion.”
North Carolina MUFON Field Investigator Linda Larson is investigating. Two video clips were uploaded with the case, which was filed on February 13, 2017. Please remember that most UFO sightings can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
Earlier this week, we brought you reportsof an alien's plans to land a UFO on Bourbon Street on Fat Tuesday. Should you happen to spot the alien — or a UFO at any other time — Reginald Buck, Louisiana's state director of Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), is ready to document your sighting.
Buck has been involved in UFO investigation since 2009, when a mysterious object appeared outside his window on a flight from Laredo, Texas, to Houston.
"The sun was setting in the west behind us, and I saw this thing pass right by the plane, very close to my window," he recalls. "It was a perfect sphere ... a little bit bigger than a grapefruit, but not as big as a basketball.
"My first thought was, 'That doesn't belong here.' My second thought was, 'If that would have hit the plane I'd be dead right now.'"
Buck was always interested in UFOs, but his sighting kicked a hobby into high gear, prompting him to join MUFON and become one of its investigators.
With two other investigators in Louisiana, Buck checks out about four reports of UFOs each month. Using research, phone calls and interviews, investigators basically go through a process of debunking. They look at weather patterns, check whether the International Space Station was visible that night, ask around to see if anyone in the area used a drone (a particular issue in this state, where Buck says drones often are used for deer hunting), and do everything possible to find a reasonable explanation for what the person saw.
"You want to try to get rid of all the regular things, all the basic stuff ... [to call it] an unidentified flying object," Buck says.
Surprisingly, Buck is kind of an agnostic about whether UFOs come from aliens. He thinks there could be any number of explanations, including alternate dimensions, previously unobserved occurrences here on Earth and more.
"We just know that the phenomenon itself is a real thing. People see things they don't understand. They see them in the ground, they see them in the air, they see them on the water and in the oceans," he says. "As far as we know there's nothing man-made or terrestrial that can do the things that a lot of these reported things can do. ... [Sometimes] the alien hypothesis is really the only thing that fits."
To become an investigator, Buck joined MUFON, acquired its official investigator's manual and took a written exam. There's also a background check and and training with a more experienced investigator. The group is nationwide and always looking for more help; in Louisiana aspiring investigators can visit the organization's Facebook page for more information. Be warned, it's a volunteer gig — in his day job, Buck is a corporate trainer for oil and gas companies.
And if you're convinced you saw a UFO at some point in the past, MUFON welcomes entries to its historical database. Though Buck says there's not a lot he can do with sightings from prior decades, people report them in great detail more often than you'd think and they sometimes can be cross-referenced with other entries to create a more complete picture of the incident.
Despite a lot of duds, including false sightings of Chinese lanterns and lights from neighbor's parties, Buck says every so often he'll run across something truly unexplainable.
"[Being an investigator is] not as exciting as some people think it is," he says. "But every once in a while, something will happen and you'll think 'wow, this is kinda cool.'"
A Texas witness at Snyder reported watching two, sphere-shaped objects hovering about 500 feet off the ground that appeared to fade and disappear in place, according to testimony in Case 81249 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness and his girlfriend were driving home from a grocery shopping trip in Snyder and heading toward Spur along Highway 208 when the incident occurred at 4:57 p.m. on December 31, 2016.
“I noticed a bright, shiny, silver ball hovering about 500 feet in front of us to the southeast,” the witness stated. “I said, ‘What is that?’ She first thought it was a helicopter because it wasn’t moving; that’s until it slowly started disappearing and fading away into nothing.”
The object was hovering just 500 feet in the air. Pictured: Texas Route 208 between Snyder and Spur.

The two then saw another similar object.
“Then we immediately saw another one to the east and that also started to fade away. She pulled over and I grabbed my phone to record it. But by the time we got out it was completely gone. It was eerily quiet, and of course being in West Texas we were the only vehicle on the road. We were awestruck and excited that we both witnessed something unexplainable.”

I rarely review other people’s reviews except of my own books. But I think I need to make an exception. Two very scholarly sounding experts have reviewed at great length Annie Jacobsen’s strangely inaccurate and misleading book “Area 51” on their site Washington Decoded. It supposedly tells all about the mysterious highly classified base not far from Las Vegas, In addition it provides an entirely new and totally unsubstantiated and unbelievable explanation for the Roswell Incident. I ,too, reviewed the book in one of my monthly columns and could frankly find nothing to support her extraordinary claim that beings manipulated by Joseph Mengele (in cooperation with Joseph Stalin) somehow piloted a German Horton Brothers flying wing vehicle to crash near Roswell to panic America..
In this instance two very formidable sounding professionals, Dr. Robert S. Norris and Dr. Jeffrey T. Richelson, recently published a very lengthy negative review of her book and also managed to somehow demonstrate the intellectual bankruptcy of the pseudo science of anti-ufology. They correctly note that she made no reference to a host of directly applicable sources and made loads of factual mistakes re Area 51 related matters. Then, amazingly, they commit many errors of omission and commission about Roswell and surprisingly some other items and also libel me. And frankly I am angry.
Area 51 book cover
I was surprised at some gaps in their knowledge. For example, they noted that Annie three different times falsely referred to a hero of mine, Dr. Vannevar Bush, as head of the Manhattan Project. That distinction fell to General Leslie Groves for the Army Corps of Engineers and the technical director, Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer. But then they refer to Bush only as “Science Adviser to President Franklin Roosevelt and as such was chairman of a 3 member oversight committee known as the military Policy Committee, that usually rubber stamped decisions that Groves had already made.”. Their major source about Bush was G. Pascal Zachary, “Endless Frontier: Vannevar Bush, Engineer of the American Century”. Zachary was a reporter for the Wall Street journal and as far as I could tell did not know much about Bush’s highly classified activities. One would think that the fact that VB was head of the Office of Scientific Research and Development during the war might have been noted. Thousands of engineers and scientists worked on projects funded by the OSRD. These included such important developments as that of the proximity fuse, radar, and indeed the Manhattan Engineering District. Their description is a bit like referring to Harry Truman as a Missouri haberdasher and ignoring his service in the US Senate and as US President.
They refer to only 3 Roswell books,(and touted debunkers like Phil Klass) none of them by serious researchers who searched for and interviewed first hand witnesses, visited archives and crash sites, etc There is no mention of such books as “The Roswell Incident” by Charles Berlitz and William Moore and to which I was a major contributor;“The Truth about the Roswell Incident” and ”The Real Truth about the Roswell Incident”, by Don Schmitt, and Kevin Randle, “Crash at Corona”,by Don Berliner” and myself and “Witness to Roswell” by Don Schmitt and Tom Carey .etc. They were aware of my existence as shall be noted later, but misrepresented my background and ignored a bunch of papers which I have published besides my books. They are upset that Annie repeats a nice comment about me by Larry King, but obviously couldn’t be bothered checking out me or my publications.

They state “Strewn throughout her story, moreover are numerous mistakes and questionable claims”. That is certainly true. But it is true of them as well. They blindly accept the 2 big Government Roswell volumes seemingly accepting everything in them as Gospel though many errors have been described for many years.
Here is how they describe the Roswell Incident ”… refers to some metallic debris that was found on 7 July 1947 at a ranch approximately 75 miles northwest of Roswell, New Mexico. The rancher who discovered it contacted the local sheriff who contacted Roswell Army Air Field. Several Intelligence officers were sent and collected portion of the debris and took it to Roswell AAF that evening. The next day, the public information officer released a statement saying that a flying disc had been recovered. The front page headline of the July 8 edition of the Roswell Daily Record was “RAAF Captures Flying Saucer on Ranch in Roswell Region”. The debris was then flown to 8th Air Force Headquarters at Fort Worth AAF in Texas and inspected. The conclusion was that the debris was the remnants of a weather balloon”. Later they said it was a balloon… since when are balloons made of metal??
The facts indicate that this is much less than accurate. In the first place the rancher had found the debris within a few days prior to Saturday, July 5, when he went to Corona and showed some to friends at the General Store there. The Rancher did not get a newspaper and had no phone and had not heard about flying saucers until the people in Corona told him about them and that there was a reward out for pieces. They suggested he go to the Sheriff in Roswell. He took a small portion of what was on the huge debris field to Sheriff Wilcox on July 6. The sheriff contacted RAAF and spoke with Major Jesse Marcel who actually handled the wreckage and was ordered by his boss Colonel William Blanchard to take a Counter Intelligence officer with him and follow the rancher to his place out miles from any road. They spent the night, viewed the debris field the next day, and brought back a small portion in their vehicles. Colonel Blanchard then ordered Major Marcel to have one of their B-29s take him and the wreckage to Wright field making a stop at their headquarters in Fort Worth. Somehow not only are the dates and sequence fouled up, but no mention is made of the fact that the Roswell group, the 509th was the most elite military group in the world having dropped two atomic bombs on Japan in 1945 and 2 more during Operation Crossroads in 1946. Blanchard went on to receive 4 more promotions and was a 4 star general serving as Vice-chief of Staff of the USAF when he died of a massive heart attack at the Pentagon. He had served as Operations office for the Strategic Air Command when it had thousands of nuclear warheads at its disposal. Marcel was the intelligence officer of this most elite group. Both Marcel and Blanchard were very familiar with weather balloons since they were launched every day at the base,and would have immediately recognized the wreckage as such. Marcel handled the strange wreckage in Roswell. He would never have been sent out without noting that the material was very strange. Norris and Richelson praise highly, “The Roswell Report: Truth Versus fiction in the Roswell Desert” (by Disinformation specialist Colonel Weaver) without noting all the fiction supplied by the Air Force. For example, it claims it was Project Mogul, a Top Secret Program, launched 4 June. The fact is that the original newspaper accounts (the story appeared and grew in evening papers from Chicago West.) say the wreckage was found “last week” .The rancher had been in the area just days before. Outstanding research by Dr. David Rudiak showed it could not have been that Mogul launch. The program was not TOP secret. Only the purpose was TS. If it had been TS, there would have been a chase plane along at each launch and the balloons and equipment would never have been allowed to remain in the desert.
The foolish claim was made that the huge report was a declassification effort. It was a propaganda effort.
Norris and Richelson foolishly state the balloons were made of special material. They were standard neoprene weather balloons. They speak very enthusiastically of the Air Force report and seem not to have caught any of its many mistakes. For example it states a National Enquirer article about Marcel appeared in 1978. It was actually in 1980 and was a result of my putting outstanding journalist Robert Pratt in touch with Jesse Marcel because the first Book “The Roswell Incident” was due to be published.
The report makes it sound as though I worked separately from Berlitz and Moore and got my ideas from the Enquirer, when I actually worked very closely with Moore for years. I told Moore about Roswell. They mention a strange grossly misleading book by three professors which also insinuated that Marcel was paid by the Enquirer. Of course none of these debunkers give any information about my background. To the USAF I am a UFO researcher. To Norris and Richelson I am “a UFO conspiracy Theorist.” No mention that I am a nuclear physicist, that I worked on classified advanced technology programs for 14 years for GE,GM, Westinghouse, Aerojet General Nucleonics etc. or that I have visited 20 different Archives , many times they claim that any ”positive reputation Friedman has is apparently restricted to those who believe in UFOs and Extraterrestrials.”
No source is given for these nonsensical charges. They might have mentioned that I belong to the American Nuclear Society, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and the American Physical Society. No mention that I have lectured on topics such as “Flying Saucers ARE Real” and or “Flying Saucers and Science” to more than 700 colleges and professional groups in all 50 states, all 10 Canadian provinces and 18 other countries. I have had loads of favorable comments from these institutions. Are all of these “believers in UFOs and Extraterrestrials?” There is no mention of all the evidence I have provided such as dozens of TOP Secret almost completely blacked out CIA UFO documents, or 156 almost completed whited out NSA UFO documents. Seemingly they are unaware of the comments made by USAF General Carroll Bolender “Reports of UFOs which could affect national security are made in accordance with JANAP 146 or USAF Manual 55-11 and are NOT part of the Blue Book System” and “Termination of Project Blue Book would leave no official federal office to receive reports of UFOs. However, as already stated, reports of UFOs which could affect national security would continue to be handled through the standard Air Force procedures designed for this purpose.” I located and spoke with General Bolender. I would bet these guys never heard of him. Obviously the USAF has been lying ever since his October 20, 1969, memo which resulted in the closure of Project Blue Book. The USAF has since then falsely claimed there is no national security concern with UFOs and they have been doing nothing about them. They don’t mention the Congressional UFO Symposium of July 29, 1968, which involved 12 presentations by scientists including me, or the biggest study ever done for the USAF, Project Blue Book Special Report No. 14. Of course, like Jacobsen they are guilty of “authorial malpractice.”
Norris and Richelson also buy into the 2nd foolish USAF volume “The Roswell Report: Case Closed”. “The aliens observed in the New Mexico desert were probably anthropomorphic test dummies that were carried aloft by high altitude balloons. Some 43 high altitude balloon flights were launched and recovered throughout NM between June 1954 and February 1959.” Considering that the Roswell Incident occurred in July 1947 (Time travel, I guess) and the bodies, one of whose pictures is in the USAF Report, were 6’ tall and weighed 175 pounds, and was in a uniform and could not possibly have morphed even with time travel into a 4’ tall alien with a big head, one is astonished at their naivety. I talked to the head of the program, Colonel Madsen. Of course, he isn’t mentioned by them, nor did the USAF talk to him though they showed an old picture of him and one of the dummies.
In short, we have erudite people saying false and misleading things. I, of course, cannot know whether it is out of laziness, bias, ignorance or because they were conspiring to protect the reputation of the USAF. They owe us all an apology.
A Wisconsin witness at Little Suamico reported watching a triangle-shaped object move out of Green Bay that appeared to be 100 to 150 feet in length, according to testimony in Case 80998 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The incident occurred at 2:10 a.m. on November 28, 2016, as the witness was outside stargazing with several friends and neighbors. The case was investigated by Wisconsin MUFON Susan Birttnen and closed as an Unknown.
“He reports they witnessed a triangular-shaped object fly out of the water ofGreen Bay, traveling at approximately 35 knots,” Birttnen wrote in her report.“It was so close that they could hear a muffled jet sound. As it came out of the water it turned on its side as it traveled west and gainedelevation.”
The object appeared to be 100 to 150 feet long. Pictured: Suamico, Wisconsin.

The witness provided a description of the object.
“The color was dark and it had blue flashing lights,” the witness stated.“The elevation wasat 500 feet and the distance was less than 1,000 feet. The side of the triangle was between100 to150 feet.”
The witness believes the object may be something operated by the U.S. Air Force.
“I believe they are investigating the saucers and the orbs in some joint effort,” the witness stated.
The city of Little Suamico is located in Oconto County and is on the Bay of Green Bay. It is in the northeastern part of Wisconsin and part of the Green Bay Metropolitan Statistical Area. The Austin Straubel International Airport is 16 miles away.The Outagamie County Regional Airport is 39 miles away.

Palm Springs witness beleives helicopter was observing UFO
Palm Springs witness beleives helicopter was observing UFO
A California witness at Palm Springs reported watching a large, red glowing object 400 feet from the top of a local mountain with a helicopter hovering nearby, according to testimony in Case 81924 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was outside in a front yard checking a security camera at 6:50 p.m. on February 4, 2017, when the incident began.
“We have the Palm Springs mountain directly across from our home and often look up at it when the moon is out because of the glow from the moon on the snow I enjoy,” the witness stated.“What I saw first was a helicopter flying around the top of the mountain by the aerial tramway. We get request reports of missing hikers on the mountain and when I saw the helicopter shining a spotlight on the mountain, I thought they were looking for someone.”
The witness noticed a helicopter hovering near the top of the mountain from his home in Palm Springs. Pictured: Palm Springs Tramway area.

The witness then went inside and asked his wife to step outside for a look.
“I was in the Marine Corp with a helosquadron as a medic and got to see quite a few different styles of helicopters, so I knew what I was looking at, especially after I heard the rotors of the helicopter and the searchlight. I then went inside and got my field telescope to see what was going on.”
The witness noticed that the helicopter seemed very focused on one particular area, but did fly around to different spots.
“The area they focused on when I zoomed in on the area, I saw a large, red sphere that remained on. The helicopter never shined the light directly on the object, but behind and to the right side of it. I assumed it was a team of people, maybe rescue crews, looking for others? I made a comment to my wife about how skilled this pilot must have been. I had an outstanding view of the helicopter even at 7 in the evening and because it really isn’t that far from our home.”
The pilot remained absolutely still in midair over the object for very long periods of time without moving at all – completely stationary.
The witness noticed a red glowing object on the ground below the helicopter. Pictured: Palm Springs Tramway area.

“That was on the side of the mountain about 10,100 feet up, 400 feet from the very top of the mountain by the tram itself. My wife had a few looks of it too and we still were wondering what on earth was going on up there. I made a few comments as time was going by like how very strange this all was. Was this a downed plane?”
The witness then brought his tripod and telescope closer to end of the property in the front yard to get a closer look.
“To my absolute astonishment, as I was looking at the helicopter shining the spotlight again, this sphere changed different colors. First white, then light blue, then red again and paused changing colors. With my wife right beside me and as I was looking through the scope, the red sphere changed shape, flattened like a pancake and from the exact spot it was on, flew straight to the right due north with the helicopter observing it. It traveled about a quarter of a mile and then stopped changed direction and traveled due south and disappeared out of view.”
The witness observed that the object was not flying fast at all, but more like a controlled glide.
“I observed it flat from the side, but as I was able to keep it in view with the telescope, I could clearly see three lights, two brilliant red (like rubies) at the front and rear, and a smaller white light on the side. The object appeared to be see-through and triangular in shape and when observing it, it had a dream-like quality to it. It was exceptionally beautiful to look at and it never made a sound. As I’m writing this, seeing how it happened less than two hours ago, I’m absolutely amazed at what I saw. My wife got to view this object and the helicopter also, but didn’t see the object change color or shape as I witnessed.”
The witness says he has mixed feelings about the incident, but “shock” comes to mind.
“I never thought in a million years that the red object that we were observing would actually take flight and fly away. We lost sight of it as it went behind the lower edge of the mountain going south with the helicopter still flying around the top of the mountain by the tram. I wonder now, were they looking for occupants on the side of the mountain?”
The red lit object eventually moved north of the helicopter and then disappeared from view. Pictured: Palm Springs Tramway area.

The witness observed that the tram on the side of the mountain seemed to have stopped during the incident.
“Palm Springs Tramway is a very popular attraction during the winter months here. When we were observing the helicopter flying around and then seeing the red sphere, the tramway that runs every 15 minutes with a trolling going up and coming down the mountain, not one cable car came up or down the mountain. Chances are for the length of time we were looking we would have seen one of the cable cars or both. Also during the entire event through the telescope, we saw different teams of people with high powered flashlights trying to get over to where the helicopter was shining the spotlight by this object. But with the recent snowfall from storms, they weren’t having much luck, or so it seemed.”

Shape-shifting UFO reportedly deadens sound around witness
Shape-shifting UFO reportedly deadens sound around witness
An Idaho witness at Idaho Falls reported watching and photographing a fire-colored, shape-shifting object that seemed to silence natural sounds in the area when it passed over, according to testimony in Case 81932 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was inside meditating when a sibling came inside to alert family that an unknown object was moving towards the house.
“While I was getting ready to go outside, my two nephews were already outside, and one of them turned on his phone camera to take video,” the witness stated. “But he said the phone kept giving him an error when trying to take video. He switched to take pictures and he managed to take four images of the object.”

The witness went outside and was informed by the nephews that the object could be seen in the northwest sky.
“I saw the object when it was leaving. It had a very intense red and orange color to it – very bright. My nephew was the one who took the images. He told me the object, before passing over the house,that it remained a sphere shape, but once it passed over the house it started to change shape. He said, ‘The closest thing that this can resemble is one of those light sabers from that movie “StarWars.”’ It had that same effect. It would stretch. It would go from a sphere to a cigar shape and once it passed the house it went back to just being a sphere. He said all around the object there was this wave-like pattern of fire.”

“Everything went super silent while the object passed by – no bird sounds, no wind sound, no car sounds, nothing. Just silence and this effect of sound cancelling was only when the object was passing over the house and everything went back to normal once the object left.”

A Florida witness at St. Augustine reported watching a disc-shaped UFO hovering in the night sky before moving out over the ocean, according to testimony in Case 79397 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness is a MUFON Field Investigator who was taking out the trash at 9:39 p.m. on September 25, 2016, when the incident began.
“As I watched my garage door go up, immediately in front of me was a UFO hovering in alignment over the house across the street, but farther behind it,” the witness stated. “See house photo which shows my neighbor’s house, but in daylight.”

The witness immediately recognized the object as something unusual.
“My first thought was ‘OMG a UFO!’ It was way too big for a plane. A second later as the lights strobed and reflected off the body I realized the lights were a wrong color(too much blue) for a plane, and it was far too big and too slow to be a plane, slower than even a slow helicopter. My vision is about 20/35 without my glasses, so I ran inside to get my glasses. It was hovering at about 30 degrees in elevation and 10 degrees north.The sky was mostly clear with only a few clouds (cloud base 3,100-6,500 feet according to the weather report), wind northeast at 8 mph, temperature was 78 degrees and humidity was 78 percent.”
The witness described the object.
“It was disc-shaped, but had sharp points on the top and bottom. There was a larger oval, very bright, white light on the top point that blinked, not strobed. That light was so bright it hurt my eyes. Surrounding the object along its side were strobing multi-colored lights that strobed from white/blue/green/red/ yellow very quickly. They reflected off the body that seemed to be dull gray, but sometimes looked dull amber depending on the color of the lights strobing at the moment. Its speed was quite slow, slower than a slow helicopter.”

The object also turned off its lights.
“Twice, all of its lights went out at once for about two seconds and then the lights came back on as it hovered in the same place. Initially it hovered for about two minutes over the house, (I counted 110 seconds after I retrieved my glasses) and then it headed east for about 10 seconds, stopped for 2-3 seconds, headed back west for about 10 seconds, stopped for 2-3 seconds, and then headed southeast.It had significant sideways movement as described, but its altitude did not change much other than slight wobbling.”
The object also moved into a cloud at one point.
“Once it went inside a cloud, the cloud lit up with the multi-colored lights and then it came out of the cloud, so its elevation was at least 3,100 feet, meaning it had to be pretty big to appear penny-size at arm’s length and 3,100 feet up.”
The object soon moved away.
“It moved slowly southeast of me and I lost sight of it when it was behind some woods. From its height and distance, it should have been over the Atlantic Ocean at that point. From the direction it moved, it may have been over downtown St. Augustine and/or St. Augustine Beach at some point, so I wonder if MUFON will get more reports. I watched it for a total of approximately six minutes. There were no animal or psychological effects and no missing time.”

The witness was outside reading on a deck at 7 p.m. on April 21, 2016, when the incident occurred.
“I am told that military pilots train in the mountains around where I live and I’ve always enjoyed seeing them fly through,” the witness stated.“This happens all the time. Jets and helicopters are a common sighting. So I naturally saw the jet and did a double take, because there was something following it.”
The witness thought that the object looked strange – possibly something the military built, but not a jet.
“I knew it wasn’t a jet because it was actually right behind one. The jet it was chasing left a long contrail behind it, but the UFO did not. The UFO was gaining on the jet. No helicopter could do that. I was blown away and luckily got out my phone in time to take a video. I watched the object gaining on the jet for about 10 seconds when I lost them in the trees.”

The witness felt excited and anxious at the sighting.
“I felt I had witnessed something very hard to dismiss as a weather balloon or some obvious type of aircraft. Shortly after the jet and object left my range of sight I saw three more jets and one helicopter going the same direction (in my opinion chasing the UFO). I also got another video of those other aircraft. I would like to show the video to an aviation expert and maybe get an explanation. I’m uploading to MUFON hoping for answers.”

Scientists will discuss UFOs and alien contact at UFO Congress
Scientists will discuss UFOs and alien contact at UFO Congress
It is a common misperception that scientists are not interested in UFOs or claims of alien contact. Scientists have actually been leading proponents of research into these areas, and three will be presenting their findings later this month at the International UFO Congress, the Guinness World Record holding largest UFO convention.
The three scientists include a former nuclear physicist, a neurologist, and a professor from Østfold University College in Norway where they have been investigating strange lights that have been occurring regularly for decades. Each of these men have been left with the conclusion that there is much more of a mystery to these phenomena than the greater scientific community is aware of.
Stanton Friedman began his career as a nuclear physicist, and later became one of the most recognized proponents to the UFO phenomenon. He is credited with being responsible for the massive popularity of the alleged Roswell UFO crash. He was the first to seriously investigate it in the late 70s after interviewing the first Army intelligence officer to look at the crash debris. The, then retired, intelligence officer told Freidman it was no balloon they found in the desert in 1947, as the official Air Force story claims. That lead Friedman to interviewing dozens of additional witnesses who told a similar story. This all eventually culminated into several books published in the 80s and the rise of the Roswell incident’s fame. Now it is a household name.
Friedman will be discussing how Astronomers view the UFO phenomenon, arguing that many of the so-called skeptics, ” have done their research by proclamation rather than investigation.” He will be presenting his lecture on Wednesday, February 15, 2017.
Dr. Bob Davis (Credit: Dr. Bob Davis)
The neuroscientist, Dr. Bob Davis, will be tackling a much more controversial topic, alien abduction. Davis is a former professor at the State University of New York, where he taught for over 30 years. He is internationally recognized in his field. Intrigued by the large number of claims by people saying they have had alien encounters, he was compelled to conduct a research study. His study included over 2300 individuals who, according to Davis, claimed to have “consciously recalled contact experiences with a Non-Human Intelligent Being (NHIB).”
His findings have lead him to believe that there really is something mysterious, and important, taking place. He will share the results of his studies, and his thoughts on the outcome, on Thursday, February 16, 2017.
Friedman and Davis have done their work independent of an official university backed study. However, Erling Strand from Østfold University College in Norway has the unique position of being in charge of a project that investigates UFOs as part of his school’s studies. Strand is the project manager of Project Hessdalen, an investigation into strange lights that have been seen in Norway’s Hessdalen Valley for decades. The phenomenon has been caught on camera by researchers from many different countries. However, the phenomenon remains unsolved.
Strand will be sharing his findings, showing pictures and video of the lights, and the details of a student science camp that is held in the valley to research the phenomenon. He says, although some suspect the lights to be some sort of natural occurrence, there is not enough evidence to come to that conclusion, and, shockingly, he has not ruled out the possibility of some sort of non-human intelligence at work. Strand will present on the Hessdalen Lights on Saturday, February 18, 2017.

The events occurred about 8:15 p.m. on January 19, 2017.
“My husband and I were in the viewing bleachers for the launch of the Atlas V rocket carrying a missile detecting satellite,” the witness stated. “We were in a launch delay. I was standing in the bleachers and others were sitting.”
The witness says she was staring at the sky as she had heard that UFOs sometimes frequent launches.
“I was looking towards the east and suddenly I saw an extremely bright, yellow/green light and it was wide, and it was close. It was horizontal to the ground and it streaked by us. I yelled, ‘Look’ and people in the stands caught a glimpse. It was so fast that many missed it, but some didn’t. The woman behind me who was sitting down and just caught a glimpse said it was a meteor. I said, no, there was something in it.”
The witness saw a light streak by with something metallic in it.

The witness described what she saw.
“Just before the yellow/green steak of light vanished, for a fleeting bit of a second, I saw part of something metallic. It had a seam and a shape that was rounded. But the yellow/green light obscured all but a small part of the object. I know what I saw and there was definitely something in that light.”
“We all got on the buses and left. But I was still filled with excitement as I believe that was a UFO. I checked the web and cannot find any record of a meteor on that night.”
The witness said the light obscured all but a small part of the object. Pictured: Titusville, FL.

Georgia UFO landing site considered from 1973 incident
Georgia UFO landing site considered from 1973 incident
A Georgia witness at Danielsville recalled an incident from 1973 where the events may have been a UFO landing site, according to testimony in Case 81562 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
Sometime in the early 1970s, the witness came upon an unusual scene along a dirt road. Pictured: Danielsville, GA.
(Credit: Google)
The witness is right up front reporting that they have never seen a UFO, but wishes to recount an incident that occurred on June 1, about 1973.
“I suppose you would call it a ULA – an Unidentified Landing Area,” the witness stated. “Guessing early to mid-70s which is my age early teens. I was on the dirt road below my house. I would ride my motorcycle or horse almost daily. No houses on the dirt road and rarely traveled. Heavily wooded on both sides with no clearings.”
But one day as the witness rounded a corner, a bright white area was glowing off of the road about 20-30 feet.
The witness found all of the trees removed and white sand in its place. Pictured: Danielsville, GA. (Credit: Google)
“I walked up a bank through the trees and saw something I had never seen before. A huge circle maybe 100 feet or more completely flat and covered in pure white sand. I had never seen white sand before. I remember it was so bright it hurt my eyes. There was no vegetation, no red clay, no sticks, no rocks – no anything. There was no road and no trail going to or from it.”
The witness first just wondered what the site was.
“How did they do it? Where did all the trees go? How did they make the sand so white? I remember the more I thought about it the creepier it felt. I would ride by almost daily for the next few years and red mud was gradually taking back over the white sand. However, I do remember that nothing grew there for as long as I lived there which was probably another 10 years.”
The witness recently returned to the spot and is still able to see the circle area originally created more than 40 years ago. Pictured: Danielsville, GA.
(Credit: Google)
But the witness recently thought of the site again and went back to check on it.
“It now has vegetation and the circular outline is harder to distinguish, but you can still see it. One other thing that may or may not be related – I have no memory of my younger years. Doctors have told me it was probably due to the trauma of losing a sibling and may be. Probably a coincidence.”

A North Carolina witness at Elizabeth City reported watching a triangle UFO hover under 500 feet over his vehicle, according to testimony in Case 81565 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The reporting witness was a passenger in his mother’s vehicle on January 11, 2017, as they were driving into town for a birthday dinner.
The witness was first drawn to the craft because it had unusually bright lights. Pictured: Elizabeth City, NC. (Credit: Google)
“On our way to town, I happen to notice what I thought at first was maybe a helicopter or aircraft,” the witness stated. “But it had unusually bright, white lights, with what appeared to be red/green flashing lights, kind of like a normal aircraft might have. Didn’t think too much of it at the time, but kept kind of looking towards it, as it moved slowly.”
As their vehicle moved along, the witness kept watch of the unusual object.
“It arrived at the edge of town, just about the time we did, and was hovering low, over trees and houses. About the time we turned to head towards town, its flight path was heading right for us, so I was like, okay, I’ll see what it was for sure now, cause it’s about to be right over our heads.”
The object eventually moved toward the witness and hovered over his vehicle. Pictured: Elizabeth City, NC.
(Credit: Google)
The witness continued to watch the object.
“So I look out the window as it slowly hovered overhead and was dumbfounded by what I saw. It was a triangular-shaped craft, unlike anything I have ever seen before. Three bright, white lights at the corners of the craft. Red lights towards the center. And orange lighting in various places. It seemed to have orange lit, engine-like vents towards the back end of the craft. It seemed to be dark gray in color, but the whole thing had this translucent blueish aura about it.”
The witness described his encounter as brief, but life changing.
“I’ve never seen anything with this level of tech. You could just feel how powerful this thing was. I’m a bit of sci fi fan, and have kind of somewhat believe the possibility of stuff like this existing. The crazy part is, the thing was still in the area on our way home, an hour or so later. Though it didn’t come close to us again. But seriously, it just made everything I’ve ever seen, including fantasy, just pale in comparison. I’ve actually been kind of scared to drive or even go out at night since seeing it. It’s really kind of shaken me up. My mother was driving, so she never got a close look at it like I did, unfortunately. And no pictures either. I honestly was so amazed and shocked, I didn’t even think to try.”
An hour after the original event, the witness was still able to see the object, but further away. Pictured: Elizabeth City, NC.

Vietnam vet claims UFOs and US military were in contact during conflict...and STILL are
Vietnam vet claims UFOs and US military were in contact during conflict...and STILL are
A SENIOR Vietnam vet who claims to have seen several UFOs during his service says there were several confrontations between alien spacecraft and the military during the conflict.
A huge "mothership" George Filer claims to have photographed over Stonehenge
George Filer explains that he was a former Air Force Intelligence Officer required by US authorities to record sightings and information on UFO activity during the 1960s and 70s.
He is the latest in a number of ex-military and NASA veterans to come forward with stories of UFO and alien encounters.
Mr Filer claims while stationed in Vietnam during the War he had “top secret clearance” and gave daily reports to General George S Brown, the deputy commander for air operations during the conflict
Initially his reports consisted of strategic intelligence, but the retired officer claims it often resulted in him logging strange sightings of alien craft and contact between them and US troops and airplanes.
He told the Huffington Post: "The military was interested in UFOs because they had capabilities far above anything that we had, and they wanted to find out what the technology was and, frankly, who they belonged to.
“Frequently, the Vietcong or North Vietnamese would be attacking an outpost and I would explain that (to Brown), and we would have ground-air support, particularly at night where we’d go in there with these gun ships, and I would give briefings on all of that. Some of the time, there would be unidentified craft over the demilitarised zone.”
Mr Filer insists his experience and reports from other military personal went beyond just distant UFO sightings and there were unidentified craft "engaging" with US jets.

You’d have an aircraft flying along, doing around 500 knots and a UFO comes alongside and does some barrel rolls around the aircraft and then flies off at three times the speed of one of the fastest jets we have in the Air Force
George Fiver, former US intelligence officer based in Vietnam
He added: "You’d have an aircraft flying along, doing around 500 knots and a UFO comes alongside and does some barrel rolls around the aircraft and then flies off at three times the speed of one of the fastest jets we have in the Air Force. So, obviously, it has a technology far in advance of anything we have."
He claimed much of it was reported to him unofficially as someone expressing "too much interest" could have ruined their career.
Mr Filer claims the sightings continue today with veterans of the most recent war in Afghanistan also reporting sightings to him through his UFO research website.
He claims, in another reported 1968 Vietnam UFO encounter, an American patrol boat radioed in that they were being followed by “two glowing circular” UFOs as the boat made its way through the demilitarised zone between North and South Vietnam.
A second patrol boat then saw a flash, followed by an explosion that reportedly destroyed the boat that had initially reported the UFOs stalking them, he insisted.
GEORGE FilER•YOUTUBE

The UFO buff, who runs www.nationalufocenter.com, also tells of a notable incident over the UK when he was navigator on a refuelling tanker in 1962, came face to face with a massive unidentified object.
He described being in the North Sea when London Control asked if his crew would intercept an unidentified object over Stonehenge.
Mr Filer reported “seeing lights around it, outlining the shape of a cylinder, like a cruise ship,” before it "rapidly ascended and disappeared."
Last month Clark C McClelland, who says he worked with NASA as an aerospace engineer for 35 years from 1958 to 1992, maintained he had a number of sightings including allegedly seeing a nine-foot tall alien in a space suit interacting with two NASA astronauts on the Space Shuttle while he observed the mission from the Kennedy Space Centre in Cape Canaveral, Florida, in 1991.
He also told how he lost his pension and was living on welfare following his disclosures also made on his own website www.stargate-chronicles.com.
Major George Filer was an Air Force Intelligence Officer who not only had an extraordinary encounter with a massive UFO on radar over the United Kingdom but later, in the 1970s while he was at McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey, found out that an extraterrestrial biological entity had been shot at Fort Dix.

The witness was letting her dogs out into the backyard when the incident began at 5:10 p.m. on December 23, 2016.
“I heard a growling noise in the sky, so I looked up as I was thinking to myself that this is was an unusual sound,” the witness stated.

The witness first thought that an object was crashing to the ground.
“But as I observed it for a few more minutes, it stayed stationary, then it went side-to-side.”
The witness called out to her husband and asked him to bring a camera outside.

“He watched it for a bit and said that the camera wouldn’t pick it up. It’s probably a plane, he says. I said, does a plane stay in one place, and then it started shifting back toward us, so he went in the house and retrieved the camera phone. What I got on camera is not what I envisioned, but at least it was something. It really was an amazing view at the beginning, which of course I do not have on camera, because you are kind of bewildered at the start trying to decipher what you are seeing. The video definitely shows my excitement, but it also shows it fleeing toward the horizon.”

But just like these unidentified flying objects themselves, things aren't always as they appear, says Texas MUFON Section 6 director and UFO field investigator Charles Stansburge.
"There are a lot of sightings in and around the Houston area," Stansburge said, adding, "And there are some along the I-10 Corridor, but there are a lot that aren't reported."
The investigator, who lives in Rosenberg, said for every two or three sightings that are reported, there are a great number that aren't.
This photo was taken by Alfonso Servin on Friday, Feb. 20, 2015. He said he is convinced it is a UFO.
Right now, Texas MUFON gets about 53 or 54 sightings per month, but he said if everyone who saw something said something, the number would probably reach into the thousands.
"You may have a big flag of UFOs all of a sudden, and then you might have one or two over four or five months," he said. "But these things are happening multiple times a day."
Top 9 places to see UFOs in Houston While Stansburge didn't have any ideas as to why there were so many sightings of UFO along I-10, he has some ideas.
"Most sightings happen where it is pretty dark, where you can't see a lot of light specters around, city lights and such," Stansburge said. "But sightings could be anywhere."
If you're viewing on our ABC13 news app, tap on the photo above to see more images.
What to do if you see a UFO in Houston Stansburge said if you really want to see a UAV, your first step is to look up.
"A lot of people never see one, and then they come to the meetings we have and say they saw something," he said. "It really depends on what you do, but the main thing is you have to look around, actually look at the sky, or you're not going to see anything."
Next, he encourages you to submit a report if you do see something, even if you're not convinced these things exist.
"A lot of people, when they send a case to MUFON, say, 'I still am skeptical, but it was awesome to see something like that, I don't know if it's real,'" Stansburge said.
NORAD Alternate Command Center prior to the Cheyenne Mountain Realignment.
by Roger Marsh MUFON Director of Communications
North America's Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) tracks an average of 1,800 UFOs annually and intercepts about 75 times each year, according to Canadian Access to Information Act (AIA) documents recently released to UFO Disclosure Advocate Victor Viggiani.
No one at NORAD is saying these were UFOs - but instead, they refer to unidentified objects as Tracks of Interest (TOI) or Unknown Tracks.
Viggiani spoke Saturday night, June 25, 2016, at the Alien Cosmic Expo in Ontario, Canada, and copied panel members on the 11 documents he is in possession of.
NORAD is the North American Aerospace Defense Command - a combined U.S. and Canada organization - that provides aerospace warning, air sovereignty, and defense of North America. NORAD is located at Peterson Air Force Base near Colorado Springs, CO.
In response to Viggiani's request for documents pertaining to NORAD tracking or intercepting UFOs, a letter from NORAD Operations details how requests for information on Unknown Tracks cannot be released due to their sensitive nature due to national security. But the letter does provide a summation from the NORAD Commander.
UFO Disclosure Advocate Victor Viggiani
"However, the NORAD Commander has approved the release of the following information regarding Tracks of Interest (TOI) and Unknown Tracks. The yearly average in the past five years has been 1,800 TOIs and 75 intercepts."
In addition to this letter, Viggiani also received a six-page document as an example of a TOI.
Reached at his home in Toronto today, Viggiani said this particular document is very revealing, but also leaves a number of unanswered questions.
The document is a NORAD status report, which uses a line-item approach as details are available to be reported. Some of the lines are redacted or blocked out so that they cannot be seen. In one area they outline how an intercept was ordered on three objects.
"The missing information," Viggiani said, "is obviously what did they see when they intercepted?"
Viggiani is the News Director of international news service ZlandCommunications. From his biography:
"His study of anomalous aerial phenomenon, research and analysis of Extraterrestrial issues spans over 30 years. His experience involves UFO sightings report investigation, academic and radio journalism with a primary focus on UFO/ET government Disclosure. Victor has addressed the media and audiences in Sydney and Brisbane Australia, Washington D.C., at the Washington D.C. National Press Club, CBC and CTV Toronto television news programs and at Convocation Hall University of Toronto. Victor is a co-host on the Richard Syrett Show on AM 740 Radio in Toronto."
A video of Viggiani's statement at the Expo is below. The 11 documents - including 15 pages - can be seen here for review.
In all due respect, what is looking at video wave form's telling us about the case. I was hoping to see the Barbell UFO's ?!!
