MUFON INVESTIGATOR AND WIFE SPOTS TRIANGLE OVER SOUTH NEW JERSEY
AUGUST 14, 2007 ………… FRANKLINVILLE NEW JERSEY
Around 7 pm, I was laying on my back deck, after getting out of the pool and was watching the planes fly over, on their way to Philadelphia International Airport. . I then noticed a glimmering object to the left of the plane flying over. I would guess the commercial jet was at 7000 feet because this is the altitude that passing planes can fly over terminal control areas especially Philly International. The plane and UFO was flying in and out of the haze and traveling in a North West direction. I yelled to my wife to bring me my spotter telescope and she did in a few moments. Kelly also saw the object and I told he not to take her eyes off of it because I had to quickly set up my scope on the tripod. My scope is a BSA 20-60x60mm. Its great for star gazing and looking at the moon. I looked through the scope before I set it up trying to hold it as still as possible and did see it again for a couple seconds. It looked like a very shiny triangle and the sun bouncing off it made it even more visible. I try to spot UFO when the sun is setting because for some reason the sun light at that flat angle illuminated everything. After loosing sight of it with the telescope we did see it again with our eyes but it quickly disappeared in the overcast. Being excited, we both jumper in the car and drove for 10 miles trying to acquire it again but did not. I have had a few sightings in the Franklinville area over the years. We are very rural with little light pollution for star gazing. I did report this to MUFON and finally classified this case as unknown. NOTE: The above image is a rendering.
MUFON INVESTIGATOR SPOTS A SILVER CYLINDER SHADOWING A JET
NOVEMBER 6, 2011 …….. CAPE MAY ZOO NEW JERSEY
While visiting the Cape May County Zoo with my wife and grandson, we were in the process of eating our lunch at the picnic tables and I looked up and saw a large plane flying over and I noticed a flash of light. My wife did have her new digital camera with her but by the time she got it out and handed it to me, the object was gone from the side of the airliner. I fumbled with the camera and finally turned it on but the small screens on these cameras are useless. Taking photos of object close with no sunlight , they are great, but taking photos close to the sun, the screens come up blank. The altitude of the plane was approximately 5,000 feet and flying in a North/East direction. It was apparent that a silver like cylinder was flying along side the airplane. At first I thought it was a military plane and was being escorted by a military jet but the object had no wings. It was shadowing the large commercial jet towards the rear of the plane. The objects distance from the plane looked to be a full wing span. I could see the sun reflecting off the cylinder and I managed to finally take a few photos but the photos show that I did not capture the object because of todays digital cameras. Its almost impossible to see anything on the small screens. I just started shooting photos in the general direction and one photo did capture an object in it. The object looks dark gray in color and it looks to be at a lower altitude than the jet that passed over. I am a Chief Investigator with MUFON in New Jersey. If you are not looking up into the sky, you will never see a UFO. The time of day was 1.23 pm and the sky was partly cloudy. No winds notices and the temperature was aproximately 65 degrees. I did report the sighting to MUFON and finally classified the case as unknown. NOTE: The above image is a rendering.
