Date: January 10, 1950 Location: Las Vegas AFB, Nevada Time: 10:10 AM.
Summary: A man and his father were observing two (2) F-80 jet fighter aircraft coming in for a landing approximately eight miles from Las Vegas Air Force Base at an angle of approximately 45 degrees into the sun and saw an object at an altitude of approximately 1500-2000 feet. They stated that the object was within their vision for approximately twenty-five (25) seconds and that the appearance of the object was pure silver, round “like a balloon” and apparently constructed of solid material, “a metal“. They stated that the object was approximately 25 or 30′ in diameter and that the direction of flight was Northeast by North, and that they observed no tactical movement or maneuver of the object, but that had it been an airplane, it could have been observing the flight of the jet aircraft. They also stated that the motion of the object was smooth; at first slow and then a very rapid acceleration in a horizontal ascent, disappearing over mountains to the east.

LAS VEGAS AFB IS NOW NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE. Nellis Air Force Base was named on 30 April 1950, and the 20 May 1950 dedication was attended by Lieutenant Nellis‘ family.[16] By 1 July the Air Force had directed ATC to accelerate Korean War training for a new 95-wing Air Force. The first school opened at Nellis, and ATC redesignated the 3595th Pilot Training Wing (Advanced Single-Engine) as the 3595th Training Wing (Combat Crew).[13] On 17 July 1950, Nellis began a replacement pilot training program to provide 115 FEAF F-51 Mustang pilots and 92 combat-ready F-80 Shooting Star pilots.
I received a call from my contact in Blind River and she reported the following incident: On March 24, a woman from Algoma Mills (7 miles from Blind River) had a close encounter while driving towards Blind River, where she was going to pick up her daughter at the local Tim Horton’s Donut Shop. The time was approximately 11:20 p.m. When she got within a half-mile from Blind River, she saw an object lifting off from behind some trees at an RV trailer lot, near the shores of Lake Huron.She described it as cigar-shaped and red and white in colour. The object was ìs long as one treeline to the other (wider than the highway). When she saw it lift up above the treeline, she pulled right over so that she could get out and watch. But when the object started coming over the highway, she decided to stay in the car. She sat there and watched as it came right over her car which, at that point, began to vibrate. That’s when she hit the gas, she said, because ‘she just wanted to get out of there.’ At that moment, that’s when it (the object) took off in a split second. It went right over the nearby hospital and was gone. Two nights prior, on Monday, March 22, in the early hours of the morning, she said she woke up and heard a loud hum in her house. She went running to her daughter’s room, woke her up, and both were in a panic-state. She said she kind of knew what it was, but didn’t want to go outside and look. Then the hum went away. — On Thursday, April 15, two women from Ironbridge (12 miles west of Blind River) were going for a walk at about 10:00 p.m. when they reportedly saw a bright, bright light in the bush. They didn’t want to stay any longer. They got scared because it was ‘too…too bright for a normal light.’ They just took off out of there. One of them said she’ll go back to investigate the area, but the other lady is too scared to go. More detail forthcoming…hopefully soon. P.S. Other happenings concerning a boy who sketched what he saw will be forthcoming. My contact is keeping notes, as I am, about all this stuff. NOTE: The above image is CGI.
In 1969, the weekend before Labor Day (at around 8:30 PM), I was with my friend “Butch” Scully on the Garden State Parkway (driving north near the Raritan exit). We were heading home from the New Jersey Shore, when I noticed something odd. Between two electrical towers, to my right, was something that, at first, looked like an extension of the towers. Passing by, I told Butch to turnaround and come back to the sighting to get a better look. We did so after going about 1/3 mile up the road. To our amazement, we arrived at the site and witnessed a huge, silent, hovering “platform” for lack of a better description. Leaving the car, we approached the object at a clearing where it was lingering about 75-100 feet above the ground. We could see it was in the shape of a triangle with red, green, amber and white lights around its perimeter. It was about 150 feet across, 10 feet in height. It had a cross beam supporting structure (similar to what you see on a bridge). A translucent dome was atop with an antenna-like appendage protruding from the dome.
Standing underneath it, we could see a formation/series of “pipes”. In the center was a concave, circular indentation. The sun had just gone down and suddenly the object cast a milky, white light from its indentation to the ground, lighting up the area underneath. Just then we noticed several cars had parked along the highway. A man came to where we stood. He asked me what was the thing. I said I did not know. The three of us were stunned as I commented that it was so close I could hit it with a rock (which I did not of course). After a few minutes, Butch and I decided to report it to the N.J. State Police a few miles north up the road. When we got to the police station, we told the officer what we saw. He said that they had already dispatched a patrol car to the incident (obviously they had already received similar reports). We left the station. Returning to the site, the craft was gone. The man who came up to us said that it slowly departed heading east towards the ocean. Butch and I decided to drive back home, not saying a word until we arrived at our destinations. I learned some weeks later that there was a Naval research center not far from the incident. What I have described is real, not a dream, blimp, drone, hallucination or flight of fancy. I am now 75 years old and would love an explanation after all these years. NOTE: The above image is CGI.
This case is under investigation by MUFON’s State Section Director Jack Nicholias.
Dr. Michael Salla, who specializes in exposing secret space programs through his EXOPOLITICS TODAY podcasts and books, has reported the following about a secret January 7, 2023 meeting with ETs at an underground facility in the Blue Ridge Mountains. “On JANUARY 7, 2023, an alleged meeting occurred at a secret underground military facility in the Blue Ridge Mountains to discuss an extraterrestrial disclosure plan developed by an Earth Alliance of military leaders and the Galactic Federation of Worlds. Dr. Michael Salla Possible supporting evidence. We have no way of knowing if such a meeting actually occurred, but the following email we received on JANUARY 6, 2023 from a U.S. Air force veteran might give support for the claim that there was such a meeting. The veteran saw a massive UFO flying low over the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which is in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the day before the alleged intergalactic meeting.
I saw something very strange today. About 3:30 in the afternoon, clear blue skies, enjoying the ride, I was returning from Gatlinburg on 441 through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and had passed the TN line coming down the mountain when I saw a flash on the left on the ridgeline. “I then saw a massive silver, metallic object between the peaks. It seemed to be moving in the same direction as I was traveling. It disappeared and showed at the next dip in the ridgeline. I heard no sound, saw no lights or windows. I pulled over. I was trying to rationalize what I saw and couldn’t. “I think it was cigar shaped but I did not see the leading edge or trailing edge, only the center mass. I can’t wrap my head around it. I am an Air Force veteran, and have worked the flight line, and nothing about this makes sense. I was curious, frightened and strangely enough very angry afterward. I thought I’d put this out to see if someone else saw it too. ”One more thing In February 2013, a former military man told me about a secret underground military facility being built beneath the Great Smoky Mountain National Park (GSMNP). I immediately began searching for more witnesses and evidence and eventually concluded the GSMNP facility is real. So, the massive UFO seen on January 6, 2023 had to have flown over, or hovered over, that secret facility. My findings about the GSMNP underground facility, along with four others in Western North Carolina, are included in my book “Underground Military Bases Hidden in North Carolina Mountains.”
We know what is stated below is deadly serious. Frankly, it sounds like science fiction, but it is a reality that should no longer be hidden.
The statement below is based on behind-the-scenes information we’ve collected since 1987 in two-way communications with: · NASA engineers · an astronaut · high-level military leaders · a president · leaders and/or royalty in other nations · television and movie producers · a governmental remote viewer · those with above Top-Secret security clearances . . . etc., etc. We hope this brief statement of our behind-the-scenes activities will encourage you to seriously consider what is written below.
DEADLY SERIOUS ALERT Mary Joyce & Evelyn Gordon
After WWII, President Eisenhower was approached by two quite different races of ETs. He turned away the offer from ETs who would assist mankind if we gave up nuclear weapons. He accepted the offer from the ETs offering technological information in exchange for the right to abduct a limited number of people. That limit was long ago broken.
Worse than that, those ETs have been infiltrating our human civilization and are operating among us.
Worse than that, those ETs think of Earth as “THE FARM” and regard humans as a food source. They especially like the young and tender ones which explains why so many children have gone missing. The extraordinary number of disappearances has been well-documented by David Paulides in his series of 411 books.
Worse than that, those ETs have teamed up with the worst of humans within governments, militaries and the powerful global elite to gain control of the planet and to reduce the human population which they then can better control and manipulate. It is that alliance which sprays the Earth with chemtrails containing deadly or debilitating toxins. It is that alliance that created deadly viruses like Ebola and the Coronavirus.
All this truly devilish activity is being orchestrated during a time when the Earth is just beginning to enter the Sun’s more active cycle. This means there will be an increasing number of electromagnetic storms that have the potential to interfere with Earth’s electrical grid and Internet communications. It is a time when Earth is experiencing more earthquakes and volcanoes, more hurricanes and tornadoes.
So, get a good grip for an increasingly rough ride. Do whatever you can to expose the devilish activities of the ET/human alliance that seeks power and control over mankind. Support human leaders who demonstrate integrity and have the courage to confront the evil alliance. Most importantly, align yourself with the Grand Creative Force for good in the universes, then listen and act. This science fiction scenario is real.
On December 23, 2023 around 1:00 p.m. I was on an Aeroméxico flight from the city of Hermosillo, Sonora to Mexico City. I was returning from a work assignment and had perhaps flown for an hour, the plane was almost empty, at least where I was. I was in one of the right windows of the plane where I could clearly see the front of the plane’s wing, it was a clear day with blue sky and a few clouds below the plane, you could see a desert floor below. Looking out the window, suddenly a spherical-shaped object enveloped in white smoke and emitting flames, as if burning, came from behind the plane about two-thirds of the way up the right wing from my point of view and stopped suddenly at about a meter in front and above the wing. After hovering over the wing for a few seconds, the object began to move forwards, backwards, down, and up in straight movements of 0, 90, and 180 degrees, always remaining in my view.
His movements showed no acceleration, only speed, and he never made any other types of movements. It seemed to me that they were not random movements, it seemed to be “looking for something” or “watching the plane”. After a few minutes, maybe two or three minutes of moving and hovering, the object returned to its arrival position, on the wing, began to oscillate or vibrate intensely (moving up and down rapidly) and vanished.

I was walking Westward, behind the wooden apartment buildings that were there then, toward the bus stop where I caught the bus to work. The time was just after 6 a.m. and my path took me across an entry to the Eastern end of Edworthy Park. I would stop briefly and look over the sight because it afforded me a great view of the North Calgary skyline nestled at the base of Nose Hill. On the morning this happened I was looking North, toward Nose Hill, as it was something I did most mornings. This fine, clear skied morning my peripheral vision caught something in the sky, the object looked white and was about the size of a golf ball. (Let me segue a moment to say that there newly built apartment complexes on the Western side of the entry to Edworthy Park. The occupants of these apartments, some at least, were there because to the East of the opening was the Western limit of Shaganappi Golf Course.
The Shaganappi Golf Course is in use throughout the year offering Cross Country Skiing as a Winter pastime.) I kept attention on the object because I thought it was a golf ball, as it had apparently appeared from the direction of the newly built apartment blocks. (Hitting golf balls from the balconies was a common occurrence and was severely criticised by the users of the path that runs alongside the riverside, as well it was considered illegal by the railway companies as there was a track at the bottom of the bluff on which I was standing. Golf balls landing in the river were considered as pollution.) The object, however, did not behave in the manner of any golf ball that I had seen anywhere in my most extensive travels. This object, now clearly and orb-like structure with a misty/cloudy emanation located at its’ base, continued past the point where gravity should have affected it, keeping a straight line and increasing in size as it approached.
The object, once close enough identified as a silver/blue colour as though it was trying (unsuccessfully) to blend in with the clear blue sky around it. As I observed the object it increased in size, the small amount of water vapour/steam/cloud still hung around at its’ base. The object appeared to travel from the Northwest on a South-westerly path. There was no sound or any kind of apparent atmospheric disturbance around the object, save the misty cloud at its’ base. The object had increased its’ size to that of a basketball and stopped, hovering silently, directly above the Control Tower at the Calgary Airport. By now I was observing the object in the North-easterly area of my vision. I watched, totally engrossed in the sight I was beholding, a basketball sized object hovering directly above the Calgary Airport Control Tower.
My mind was full of questions, was this some new type of “cloaking device” invented by a foreign or even the Canadian government? Was I observing something of an extraterrestrial nature, or could it be inter-dimensional, or was I just plain losing my mind? These questions are still very real to me. Because what I saw next left my mind reeling. The now basketball object seemed to reduce in size, firstly to that of a softball, and once again it reduced itself to a baseball size, holding the last size for briefly a second before I saw three objects, all of which could be considered “carbon copies” of the original object, down to the little clouds of water vapour at the bases of each sphere disappear silently over the horizon. The objects disappeared over the horizon at the same time, one on a Northern trajectory, the second on a North-easterly trajectory, and finally, the third object disappeared over the horizon in a due East trajectory. In a state of shock and disbelief I continued my journey, and I arrived at the bus stop the same moment as the bus. NOTE: The above image is real but from another case file.
At about 7:15 PM, I observed a red light out the left side of the airplane approx., 41,000 feet. It was on a parallel course. It was odd because, if it is an airplane, it should have a green light on it’s right side, so I watched it for a few minutes and then it rapidly approached us. It made 2 slight course adjustments and then passed directly over top of the 737, very close, 50 feet at most. It was a black triangle, larger than the 737. It had red lights on 3 corners sometimes one of the red lights would flash 3 times. Its shape was a large triangle. The edges were very similar to the leading edge of an aircraft wing, and perhaps 20 to 50 feet in height. Our pilots did not see it as it passed over the midsection of the plane. I was on a flight from Cuba to Calgary and it was 2 hours into our 6:15 PM (departure) flight, so I think we would have been over Missouri. We were cruising at 500 MPH. The object matched our speed from about a mile away and then in about 3 seconds, closed the gap and passed directly over top of the 737. I had a clear view of it’s shiny black surface and red corner lights. It is possible it was an unknown stealth aircraft. I have been involved in aviation for over 30 years, no known aircraft could fly like this, and a pilot would really have to be stupid to come so close distance of a 737 at 41.000 ft. So, I really cannot identify this craft. NOTE: The above image is CGI.
Living up where we do, we are exposed to so much sky. Our house and five-acre yard are clear of trees and face due south, or in the direction of Cashiers. There is a good 180-degree view panning from Double Top Mountain on our east side to Greens Creek towers in the west. The town of Sylva sits below. We see meteors, shooting stars, the hospital’s medical helicopter, space shuttles, satellites, jets and an occasional small plane landing at the Jackson County Airport in Cullowhee. Our view of the night sky is clear and vast.
One particular evening in late summer, my husband’s son and mother were outside on the deck with me eating dinner and relaxing at the table. It was dusk and the sky was clear. Suddenly we saw it. It hovered in the sky to the south-southwest. It seemed to be near the old bald side of Cullowhee Mountain. It was orange, bright orange and triangular in shape. There was a ball of orange light at each corner of the ship. It just stayed there, suspended in the sky for the longest time. We all noticed it, saw it stay in the same spot and thought it odd that it didn’t move away.
We started discussing it, while it continued to suspend in our sight, considering military developments and trial testing of unusual crafts. Wouldn’t it be a good place to practice flying them here in the corner of Western North Carolina with a limited human population – fewer spotters we thought. But the shape and unusual orange color were so different from the red, green or white we were all used to seeing and it just hovered for the longest time. It simply didn’t fit the mold for any type of airship we’d ever seen.
No one counted the time officially, but we all agreed the hovering phase lasted around two minutes. Then all of a sudden, like it knew we were there, it flew straight toward us at such a rapid speed and went directly over the house.
It landed, or appeared to have landed, on the property just up the mountain behind us. We went to the back side of the house to follow it, trying to see through the trees. All we could see was a hugh orange glow in the woods above our home.
Then the phone rang. Two of our friends down the mountain called and said, “Emory, is your house on fire? Are the woods on fire near your house? We see a blaze of orange. It looks like it’s right where you are. Are you okay?”
“We’re fine,” I replied. “We see it, too. We think it’s a spaceship. We’ve been watching it for awhile.”
Crazy, I know, but I got in the car. My brave stepson insisted he was coming with me. Together we drove up the mountain to try to catch sight of we don’t know what – maybe wreckage. But there wasn’t anything. It was gone. No orange glow. No smoke. No smell. No ship. We still don’t know what we saw that night but we all saw it. NOTE: The above image is CGI.
I interviewed a local high school teacher who had thirty minutes of missing time enroute to work. She has a doctorate in a scientific field and is quite perplexed by her experience. She drives to school each morning from the New Jersey shore through portions of the Wharton State Forest on Route 542. Some parts of the trip are in desolate areas of the forest. She reached a forested area near Batsto at 7:00 AM driving at 55 mph without any problems. She entered an area of relatively denser forest and lost any memory of the next 45 minutes of her life. The next eight miles of road is relatively straight with few places to turn or become lost and is an easy ten minute drive. When she came up to the Route 206, intersection, she realized something was wrong and looked at her watch and it was now 7:45 AM. A ten minute drive had unexplainably taken 45 minutes. She had at least 30 minutes of missing time and she was late for work. She contacted the State Police to see if there had been any accidents, UFO reports and the like along this stretch or road. None had been reported that morning. The thirty minutes of missing time remains unexplained. I gave her a MUFON late pass for being late to work. NOTE: The above image is CGI.
It was a disc with the ball on top like the average UFO you see on the internet or whatever. It was half green, half red. It was very loud and fast and spinning around. As it was going it curved down and curved back up and descent into the sky. I have the video. I was just sitting on my back porch already recording when this happened to the left of me.
I am a sky freak so I always have my phone out and I went down the stairs and BAM I could see it like no other and I ran after it to get a better view but it just messed my view up more and I heard something and got scared and ran back to the porch. I could see it better with my eyes then what my phone got but you can see it in the video clear as day. I had to slow it down and screenshot it because it was so fast and wow I got it on camera good!!! It was behind the trees but I got it!
We received this testimony about a triangular ship over Bryson City, NC from Sally Morrissey on July 15, 2010 — two years after her actual sighting. She’s searching for others who may have seen it. Please contact this website if you saw it, too.
We are in Bryson City. In July 2008, we saw a UFO. I had always believed there was probably something else out there because too many credible people have said they have seen things. But it kind of changes your whole life when you actually see it yourself.
When we first saw it, we had gone to town to pick something up at the grocery store and were on our way home. It was dusk. We were on Buckner Branch and not long after crossing the railroad tracks we looked up to our left and saw a HUGE triangular shaped thing hovering in the sky. It made no noise at all even though it was very close to us and low in the sky. It was just above an empty lot that someone had dug out. It’s odd for something that large to be hovering that close and low and totally silent. It terrified us all so much.
We slowed down and watched it for a minute, then just wanted to get out of there since there was no one else around. The road was lonely and we were still a few miles from home. I have never been so afraid in my life. It looked way too big and too low to the ground to be able to just hover in one place. It had lights around it.
We flew home as fast as we could and got inside. Shortly thereafter, I went to Google to try and see if other people had seen it and posted about it. I found other sightings but nothing about this one. I’m sure that someone somewhere must have seen it since it was so large. If you have heard about anyone else seeing this, please let me know.

Over 30 years before the sightings of the 2000s, Simon experienced another strange incident, again while driving. [3] On this occasion, at around 5:20 pm one evening in late October 1978, Simon was driving along a road with his wife, Chloe, near the village of Great Bridgeford.
It was as they were driving down a quiet country road, with trees on one side and fields on the other, that they noticed a strange dark disc-shaped object ahead of them and slightly to the right. It appeared to be at an altitude of no more than 500 feet and was moving relatively slowly, at approximately 15 miles per hour.
To begin with, Simon and Chloe both thought the strange craft was a helicopter. However, when they saw that there were no lights anywhere on it, they quickly dismissed this idea.
They continued on toward the object, noticing more details as they did so. They could see, for example, that there were no markings or writing on the craft, its exterior was a very dark color, and it was approximately 30 feet wide.
Simon looked around to see if anyone else was seeing what he and his wife were. However, despite there being several other cars nearby, these other motorists appeared to be unaware of the object’s presence.
An Attempt To Communicate?
At this point, Simon pulled his car to the side of the road and exited the vehicle. He stood outside the vehicle, keeping his focus on the bizarre disc overhead. Then, it stopped and for the first time he noticed that there was no sound whatsoever coming from it.
Suddenly, a strange ring of multi-colored lights of red, green, blue, and yellow appeared on the underside of the object going all around the edge. From where he was viewing them from below, it appeared as though the lights were rotating, but the more he looked at them the more he could tell that they were, in fact, flashing in a sequence that gave such an appearance.
The UFO remained where it was for around 15 seconds before it began moving once more, still going at the slow and steady pace that it was before, eventually disappearing from sight several minutes later. Although Simon and his wife couldn’t explain it, both had the feeling that the UFO – or the occupants inside it – had stopped purposely directly over the top of them.
Upon reaching home, Simon telephoned a friend who was a member of the British UFO Research Association, Tony, and informed him of the incident. According to Hodrien’s research, however, that report no longer exists anywhere online.
Of further interest, several days later Simon’s brother-in-law would inform him of another sighting almost 90 minutes later in the nearby village of Pershaw. According to what he told him, at around 6:45 pm a local resident witnessed a bright glow moving overhead at a low altitude. Of course, whether there is a connection between this sighting and Simon’s is open to debate.
This is arguably the most intriguing of all of Simon’s UFO encounters, not least due to the alleged interaction between the strange craft (with the flashing lights) and the witnesses. Did Simon just happen to be in the right place at the right time for this encounter, or might we contemplate whether this was more of a purposeful meeting on the part of the occupants of this strange craft?

British ufologist John Mooner, a staunch alien believer, captured what he believes is a “flying saucer” soaring above a Devon countryside this week.
A British ufologist believes new photos of a foreign airborne object are among growing evidence that “we are not alone.”
John Mooner snapped eerie images Monday of an unidentified flying object hovering over an English countryside in Devon that he claimed was an “alien flying saucer.”
“A glint of light instantly caught my eye as something metallic-looking came out from a cloud,” Mooner told The Mirror.
He reported the bizarre object had a “force field emanating around it,” quickly capturing some pictures with his Nikon P900 digital camera.
“I was completely gobsmacked by what I was seeing,” continued Mooner, who previously claimed to have been abducted by aliens.
He added: “It was unmistakably a flying saucer with two black rectangular windows on the dome portion of the craft and four black openings along the bottom part of its structure.”
Upon closer inspection, the blurry object — which Mooner claimed sped off in the clouds at 1,000 miles per hour — could vaguely resemble a Hollywood-esque sci-fi spacecraft.
“I was so excited, I continued to monitor the area with the hope of sighting this incredible craft once again,” he said. “Then, minutes later, I actually got the chance to see it again when it swiftly shot out from the cloud.”
He claimed the so-called saucer featured windows on top and openings underneath the aircraft.
He noted: “This time, however, I only captured the underside of the anomalous saucer craft.”
This so-called sighting is “definitive evidence” for Mooner that aliens are routinely visiting our planet.
“This is absolutely genuine. The alien presence is real. We are not alone,” he added.
Mooner said he also spotted an “alien craft” at the Torbay airshow this month, surmising aliens must have a base in the English Channel.
He believes they “only have good intentions and watch over us.”
This isn’t the first so-called proof that foreign creatures are visiting Earth.
On Monday, March 01, 1999, the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) received a call over its telephone Hotline from an individual who identified himself as an employee in the forestry industry in Washington State. The individual left a message, in which he reported that a team of forestry workers allegedly had been witness to an incident on Thursday, February 25, 1999, during which time an elk was lifted off the ground and carried away by a very peculiar, disc-shaped object. [*Click here to hear an excerpt from the hotline recording.] Peter B. Davenport, Director of NUFORC, contacted several of the individuals whose names and telephone numbers had been provided by the first contact. Based on those telephone conversations, he elected to initiate a preliminary investigation of the incident. Because NUFORC traditionally does not serve as an investigative body, Mr. Davenport contacted Mr. Robert A. Fairfax, Director of Investigations for the Washington State Chapter of the Mutual UFO Network, which does conduct investigations of alleged UFO sightings.
Davenport and Fairfax traveled to the location of the alleged incident, and jointly have been conducting an investigation of this elk abduction case since Friday, March 05. Their investigation to date has included a trip to the site of the incident, an interview of three of the alleged fourteen witnesses to the actual abduction, and several conversations with individuals who work with the eyewitnesses. In addition, the investigators inspected the carcass of an adult elk, a pregnant cow, which was found dead beside a logging road on March 01 by other forestry employees within a few miles of the principal event. The investigation and collection of facts surrounding the case will continue. This preliminary summary of their findings to date is submitted jointly by Messrs. Davenport and Fairfax. Incident Summary: On Thursday, February 25, 1999, at just a few minutes before noon, three forestry workers, who were planting seedling trees in the mountains of Washington State, witnessed a small, disc-shaped object slowly drift over a nearby ridge to their south, and descend into the valley to the north of their position.
The object descended silently with what seemed to the witnesses a purposeful manner, exhibiting a slight “wobble” to its flight. The three workers at first thought the object was some kind of parachute that was drifting and descending, but they quickly realized that their initial impression was not correct. Hence, they shouted to their eleven co-workers nearby, who were working on the north-facing hillside, and all fourteen members of the work crew watched the object for an estimated 3-5 minutes. Within seconds of their first observation of the object, the witnesses became aware that the object was travelling generally in the direction of a herd of elk that they had been watching all morning. They continued to watch as the object proceeded toward the herd until it succeeded in getting quite close to the animals. The animals apparently remained unaware of the objectís presence until it was within a very short distance of the herd. Suddenly, the animals bolted, most of the them running up the slope to their east.
However, one adult animal was seen by the witnesses to separate itself from the herd and run or trot to generally to the north, perhaps along a logging road. The witnesses report that at this point, the object quickly moved directly above the lone elk and seemed to lift it off the ground, although no visible means of support of the animal was evident to the observers. [Photo of incident site and reported path of craft (graphic by Robert Fairfax)] The witnesses added that shortly after lifting the elk off the ground, the object seemed to begin to “wobble” to a more pronounced degree than it had exhibited earlier. In addition, as the object appeared to increase its altitude, the elk, which was suspended upright below the disc, rotated slowly beneath it and appeared to be getting closer to the ventral surface of the disc. They also commented that the object seemed to increase in size slightly after it had picked up the animal. With the elk suspended below it, the object began to ascend slowly up a clear-cut slope to the east.
However, the witnesses watched it apparently brush the tops of nearby trees to the east, at which point it reversed its course and proceeded to the west. It executed a 360-degree turn to the left and may have gained some slight altitude in the process, the witnesses thought. After the object had completed its turn and was once again proceeding in a generally easterly direction, it began ascending very quickly at what seemed to the witnesses to be a rather steep angle. It continued to ascend, and simply disappeared from sight of the witnesses. The witnesses stated that once the object had started to ascend and had climbed to an altitude above their vantage point, they no longer could see the animal suspended below the craft. Their presumption was that the animal had somehow been taken into the craft, although the witnesses could discern no “door,” or any kind of aperture through which the animal might have been conveyed into the craft.
The witnesses also stated that following the incident, the herd of elk remained in the same general area, although remained more closely huddled to one another than had been the case earlier in the morning. The workers added that they, too, had remained closer to one another until their departure from the area at the end of the work day.
UFO sightings often come in bunches, like the spate that tantalized southeast Michigan in 1966. After a few days of sighting reports by civilians, on March 17 two Washtenaw County Sheriff’s deputies, Sgt. Neil Schneider and Deputy David Fitzpatrick, said they saw three or four red, white and green circular objects oscillating and glowing near Milan about 4 a.m. They called Willow Run Airport officials, but radar could not confirm the report. Two more Washtenaw deputies, Buford Bushroe and John Foster, chased the same types of objects three days later. Livingston and Monroe County residents also reported seeing the objects. The Detroit News carried the police chase story and a drawing of a quilted football-like UFO with lights, dome and antennae. When Dexter Patrolman Robert Huniwell saw the object at 9:30 p.m. at Quigly and Brand, Washtenaw County Sheriff Douglas Harvey ordered all available deputies to the scene.
Six patrol cars, two men in each, and three detectives converged on the area. They chased the flying object along Island Lake Road without catching it. Farm owner Frank Mannor and his family said they came within 500 yards, “It wasn’t like the pictures of a flying saucer and it had a coral-like surface,” Mannor said. Carloads of students from nearby University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan converged on the area after hearing radio reports. The Air Force sent in “Project Blue Book” astronomer and UFO expert J. Allen Hynek, who drove around for two hours and 45 minutes. “Swamp gas” he concluded. “Marsh gas usually has no smell, but sounds like the small popping explosions similar to a gas burner igniting. The gas forms from decomposition of vegetation. It seems likely that as the present spring thaws came, the gases methane, hydrogen sulfide and phosphine, resulting from decomposition of organic materials, were released.” But William Van Horn, a local civil defense director and pilot who claimed he had seen the UFOs, was outraged by the report.
A Hillsdale native, Van Horn said he grew up next to a swamp and knew more about swamp gas than Hynek. “A lot of good people are being ridiculed,” Van Horn concluded. Each day, Michigan at the Millenium takes a look at the people, events and ideas that have shaped our world. NOTE: The above image is real but from another case file.
KENS NOTE: This is the era that Allen Hynek investigated for the Air Force and was suppose to debunk all of the reported sightings. After a few years he finally realized that most of these sightings were real alien craft. The rest is History.
I was on a flight from Chicago O’Hare Intl to McCarran, Las Vegas, aisle 12 just in front of the plane’s wing.
About 10 minutes after takeoff and as the plane continued to gain altitude (seat belt light still on), I and a few passengers aisles 11,12,13 left side of the plane saw what appeared at first to be another plane that was so close it was going to hit us.
It startled us, the object hovered, it spun in a circular motion and wobbled; then quickly ascended above us.
There were rain delays for departing planes and there were about 20 planes ahead of us waiting to take off, and several behind us lined up on the runways that we could see, so naturally I thought, “Oh my God, another plane.”
I was extremely frightened as I thought we were going to collide, as I continued to stare in horror, I realized that this object was not an airplane.
At first there appeared to be a mist or fog around this object, the sky at this time was sunny and was becoming cloudless.
It was startling, but since we could not use our cell phones, none of us was able to obtain a photo. The object did not shine in the sunlight, it appeared to be metallic and grey and it had several circular “lights” around its edges in a horizontal line formation.
It paused at it approached and seemed to just hover or be totally still, then zoomed upward. UFO or drone? I am convinced and my initial reaction was that I had just seen a UFO in broad daylight. NOTE: The above image is CGI.
The ABC Program relative to UFOs has prompted me to provide details of my sighting of unidentified flying objects. This is the first time I have offered this event to any type of media. I was a member of the United States Air Force at the time that I saw nine flying discs.
I dutifully reported my sighting to the Operations Section at Travis Air Force Base as had been directed by the Senior Officer. The pilot of our aircraft was also the officer in charge of the section that I was assigned to at the time. I was the Aircraft Distribution Officer of the Far East Air Materiel Command located in Fuchu, Japan in 1947.
I had a project to take B-17 aircraft from the theater to Middletown Air Depot, Pennsylvania to have them modified to be air rescue aircraft. This involves such modification to accommodate a lifeboat attached the bomb bay which could be dropped for rescue at sea.
I was assigned to one of these trips to observe the modification process. I became a passenger on the flight of a B-17 from Japan to the Middletown Air Depot. The crew picked up a modified B-17 aircraft (without the life boat) for return to Japan.
On that return flight I had positioned myself in the nose of the aircraft. As we approached Promontory Point, Utah at 15:30 hours, 16 July, 1947, I noticed several objects rising from the Salt Flats. At first I thought they were big white birds but they were coming towards our aircraft at such great speed that I became alarmed.
However, in just a few moments they veered to the left of our aircraft, but close enough for me to identify them as nine round disks, approximately 40-60 feet in diameter with light blue underbellies.
They were in what appeared to be a V formation of three, three, and three. They passed off the left wing of our aircraft in a climbing flight. I immediately made my way to the cockpit to advise the pilot of my sighting. He had not seen them. However, the flight engineer, Technical Sergeant GJH (name withheld), Serial Number AFxxxxxx, did see them and confirmed my sighting.
We only differed on one thing. T/SGT. He saw them as they were a little lower than our aircraft and he described the top of them as sand colored. I had been in the Philippines Islands and Japan for approximately for 18 months and had not been aware of the UFO excitement in the States at that time.
The weather over the sighting area was perfectly clear and there was no way that I could have been mistaken about what I had seen. I talk about this event to my friends and others that want to listen to my experience. Since there is so much reaction to stories of such sightings, I have never gone beyond just telling about the event.
Also, I never had any further contact with T/SGT. H since he was assigned to a different organization than mine. I have kept the record of this event in my wallet all these years to make sure that the data was immediately available to me in the event someone wanted names and dates. I also put a copy of the data in my personal strongbox for safe keeping.
There is one thing that I regret about this event. I had just purchased a movie camera with a telephoto lens while in the States on this trip, and had it right in front of me at the time, and I did not think enough to take pictures of the sighting. However, on the other hand, the whole thing was over in just a few seconds and had I tried to take movies of it I may have missed the whole show. I thought this might be of interest to your group. ETW…COL. USAF [RET]
First let me say that my husband & I are college-educated, professional people, both working for, (what was then) Bell Laboratories. We were sober, and quite alert – we had our 2 yr. old daughter with us, coming home from visiting friends. The whole occurrence so astounded us, we called the Army, Navy, Air Force, police & a UFO Research facility in Illinois. We called the friends we had visited, we drew pictures of what we saw immediately upon entering our home. My husband thinks that what we encountered was possibly new, secret technology. After speaking with a number of research scientists and engineers at Ma Bell, I tend to agree with them: we haven’t yet cultivated or harnessed enough energy and magnetic power… But I jump ahead…My husband & I were travelling north on Rte. 206, heading home. It was a clear, starry August sky and I noticed a particularly bright, large, “star” in the sky straight ahead. I pointed it out to him (he was driving). As I did, I noticed it was moving due west.
It was an odd, yellowish color & stood out as being different from the stars & planets. We chalked it up as being an airplane – but I couldn’t stop checking it out. At the light in Chester, we turned left, heading west to our town, Long Valley, on Rte. 24. I lost sight of it with the trees. But as we approached the edge of the valley, there is a long hill going down into it. At this point, I saw it again, still out with the stars but bigger and moving faster, it seemed to go the speed of the car. As we reached the crest of the hill, it came TOWARDS us. The light got bigger & bigger, so big that my husband thought we were about to get hit, head-on. He swerved off to the side of the road. At this point, “the light” seemed to slow down, and we could see that it was tilting up above us and that it was actually 2 large circular lights – side-by-side. We jumped out of the car (curiously no one else was driving on the road, but with my 2 yr. old in the car seat, I didn’t want to leave the car).
My husband proceeded to walk (backwards)from the car down the middle of the road, staring up at this HUGE aircraft directly above us. It had a smooth, white surface, with blue, green & red rectangular lights along the perimeter of its underside. The lights dimmed as it hovered overhead. It was shaped like a stingray, with wide, rounded wings and a bobbed backend. It seemed as comfortable in the sky as a fish in water, like it was swimming(??) The “nose” (where the two big lights were) wasn’t white, but appeared to be glass. It was moving no faster than he was walking, so it “hovered” just above him. We were in awe – but spoke to each other the whole time. We discussed its parameters, using the aforementioned descriptions so we’d agree, outloud, of what we saw. We calculated that the nose could hold about 50-100 people. The wingspan was 3 football fields in length. It made a very low, quiet hum and seemed to be just above the trees. We agreed that we could throw a stone up and hit it.
(We didn’t, however, neither of us wanted to look away) It was mesmerizing in that it was travelling so low to the ground with no wind, and barely any sound. We decided to wave a friendly hello, figuring that whoever was IN it, was watching us too (we were feeling more comfortable: we reasoned that there were no markings on it, it was so amazingly advanced and quite simply, beautiful to watch. My husband didn’t appreciate my humor when I yelled “Beam us up, Scottie!” He was still tentative about being under the thing…) My daughter woke up in the car with my yell and said, “Mommy, whatcha doing?” “Watchin’ a spaceship”, I said, without diverting my eyes. We figured our conversation lasted about 3 minutes as this craft stayed above my husband – he was quite far from the car. We couldn’t calculate the width of it until this point: I noticed headlights in the corner of my eye, a car was coming. I yelled to my husband to get out of the road.
He came running toward the car & this aircraft slowly turned to the south and then, in two blinks of an eye, took off. No sound, no wind. Gone. A car came flying by, seemingly ablivious to what had happened. So, we drove home, checked the time, didn’t lose any. Drew pictures, discussed it, called our friends (who told us we left our camera at their house!) and they suggested we make the calls to any authorities. Needless to say, everyone laughed except the local police who said that Long Valley was a “high activity area” for that kind of thing. When I went to work, I told everybody! My husband didn’t tell a soul – after all, with working at Bell Labs, he reasoned, these people are the country’s top brains – they’ll think I’m nuts. Not me. I was SO amazed, I decided I had to find out anything I could on aircraft power.
Three days later a group of research engineers came to my office because they’d overheard my story (through the grapevine). They took notes, asked questions and told me that the ONLY kind of power that could fly an aircraft that low, with no wind or sound would be through magnetic energy. To that date, in 1982, scientists had only been able to harness enough magnetic energy to fly a one-man hover craft, at 60 mph, about 100 miles max with NO capabilities for stopping on a dime and turning directions. I’ve read some since then, regarding magnetic power, and Canadian scientists seem to be continuing research…they had hoped to sell one-man hover crafts by 1995!! Still don’t know what we saw – was it a government project? I asked these scientists. They shook their heads, chuckled and said THEY work on government projects and there’s just no way that kind of technology exists – yet. They said we were no way near figuring how to harness that amount of power – for that huge a craft. We were babes in the woods. NOTE: The above is real but from another case file.
In early (March) of 1986 we were married about six months and living in a cabin in Jackson County, NC in the Adie community. The road leading home is the Old Sylva Highway; a two lane country road, and it was about 11 p.m. that night.
There was no other traffic, which was normal at that hour, and we were slowly cruising home on my motorcycle. Just past the beer distributor (Bud), I looked up at the night sky and noticed that a red light was just coming over head; it was so close overhead that I was startled. I pulled the Yamaha over to the side of the road and we pulled our helmets off.
Coming from south to north was a triangular craft, with a red light at each tip. It was no more than about 100 yards above us, and the red lights were at least 100 yards in between each one, forming a perfect triangle. It was massive – huge. I was experiencing a gut fear; it looked so heavy, so massive, that I was having a primal fear that if it set straight down we would be reduced to a smear on the ground. I recall thinking, “My God, I could hit it with a pistol!!” and then “I could hit it with a strong bow!!” That’s how low it was.
I could not see the sky between the lights, but could not make out a definite outline of the craft either…but the red lights never varied in position and were traveling “flat,” meaning that one red light was at the “front” of the thing and the other two were at the rear. . . it was moving north.
Just to make sure that I was not having some mental issue, I began immediately asking my wife to tell me what she was seeing…doing a “reality check” of sorts, to make sure that I was not misinterpreting what was happening. But, she was seeing exactly the same thing and related it perfectly in accordance with what I was seeing.
The craft came over us
The craft was totally silent. No noise at all. It was moving very slowly, maybe 5-10 mph at most, just “drifting” over us, if something that looked as if it weighed a million tons could “drift.” It had a “feeling” about it; not bad, but intelligently controlled. I could “feel” that it was occupied and flown purposefully. The craft came over us and began moving slowly away to the north.
It gained in altitude as we watched, and at a point when it was perhaps 500 feet up or so, it STOPPED, TURNED THE ONE FRONT FACING RED LIGHT UP TO THE TOP OF THE ARRAY, WITH THE OTHER TWO AT THE BOTTOM, AND CARTWHEELED OFF INTO THE EASTERN SKY!!!
That really blew us away. We were stunned and began talking about how the occupants had “buzzed” us intentionally. It seemed to us that the craft had spotted a lone motorcycle on the road and decided to play with us a bit. There is no way that this was not done with purpose.
Had the lights been off, we would no doubt have not seen anything. Had the craft not come so low that it caused a fear reaction, we might not have been attracted to it in such detail; it was as if it WANTED to be seen, and the cartwheeling at the end was a sort of “goodbye” from the operators, whom I imagined were having a good laugh at how we must be changing our drawers after such an event!!
I would be happy to relate this to someone that could plot the event on paper, and it was for sure one of the most incredible things ever to happen to us. I had about an entire 90 seconds to experience this after we stopped until it was totally out of sight, so I got a good look at the thing. I have no idea as to who was operating it, but my gut tells me it was anti-gravity for sure, probably back engineered and likely flown by humans.
I did not get the feeling through this that we were being surveilled by aliens; rather, it seemed to be a goof, someone blowing a couple of motorcyclist’s minds for a laugh. At least, that’s the impression I got. The cartwheeling was no doubt intended to be seen and it was so unusual that it could only be attributed to a purposeful event.
