ALIEN TRIANGLE SPOTTED NEAR THE 155TH AIR FORCE WING IN NEBRASKA
MARCH 18, 2016……….11.45 PM  …………. LINCOLN NEBRASKA
Large triangle shape, defined by a series of dim lights moving silently and fast. South to north over Lincoln, Nebraska.   I was sitting outside at the patio table with my dog sitting next to me. The night was clear, and the stars where bright. I looked down at my dog, her ears were perked up and she was focused on something in the sky off to the south. Very strange to see her follow what ever it was until she was looking straight up. This caught my attention because it’s strange for Dogs, or cats to follow flying objects like airplanes, and helicopters. I followed my dogs gaze, and directly over me I saw a series of dim lights that clearly defined a huge Triangle, and it was moving North very quietly and very fast. There were no red or green identifiers or strobes. The lights did not appear to be on the outside of the object, but more like the dim light you would expect coming from windows. My sense was that its altitude was in the hundreds not the thousands because there was a halo effect around the lights due to the moist air. The Object was perfectly silent.  From the time I noticed my dogs ears perk up to the time it vanished off to the north…6 seconds at the most.   NOTE: The above image is CGI.
155TH AIR FORCE REFUELING WING. 

A World War II Army Airfield, a Cold War naval air station, and later a United States Air Force installation under the Strategic Air Command (SAC), most of the original airfield and base is now owned by the City of Lincoln, Nebraska. It is used for general, commercial, and military aviation activities, as well as a colocated industrial park and public and private housing. Lincoln Airport, established in 1960, was built on the east side of the former Lincoln Air Force Base main runway. With the closure of Lincoln Air Force Base in 1966, the City of Lincoln assumed possession of those airfield facilities of the former military base not retained by the Nebraska Air National Guard or the Nebraska Army National GuardThe current facility is home to the Nebraska Air National Guard‘s 155th Air Refueling Wing (155 ARW), an Air Mobility Command (AMC)-gained Air National Guard unit flying the KC-135R Stratotanker. The 155 ARW is the nation’s second oldest Air National Guard unit, being offered federal recognition on 26 July 1946 as the 173rd Fighter Squadron. It operates from a new facility built on the southeast side of the main runway. The 155th Air Refueling Wing is commanded by Colonel Keith Schell.

PHOTO’S OF  AN ALIEN CRAFT NEAR THE MOON
NOVEMBER 24, 2015    ……….  BATESBURG SOUTH CAROLINA

My wife and I were gazing at the moon which had a halo around it. We were talking on our front porch and just happened to see the beautiful halo around the moon. I don’t recall the exact time but it was around 9 – 9:45pm. I decided to try taking a picture using my iPhone 6 Plus with the flash disabled. I snapped several pictures and noticed a ball of light directly below the moon and it appeared as if it came out of or around the moon. As I snapped photos fairly rapidly the object dropped down, moved to the left of the moon slightly ( all of this from my perspective ), then slowly moved down and to the right and after a minute or less it moved upwards and to the right of the moon. If using a clock to demonstrate…..the object appeared at 6 o’clock, moved to the 8 o’clock position and after changing course counter clockwise finished its movement around 3 o’clock.
11-24-15 BATESBURG SOUTH CAROLINA--MUFON-PIC 2
 The only movement after it arrived at the 3 o’clock position was it moved away from the moon slightly, stopped and we observed it in that position for a period of time, I don’t know how long, it was difficult for either of us to look away from the direction of the moon. We sometime later, I don’t know how long exactly, went back inside our house. I came back out an hour or so later and the object was gone. The first photos I took only show the halo. All subsequent pictures show the object in different positions. None of the photos were altered in anyway, except one which I tried to zoom in on the object. My first thought was it must be a star … Until it changed direction. I served 6 years in the United States Marine Corps and I am a combat veteran. I have witnessed many lights in the sky at night and I was on the invasion force during the first Persian Gulf War. It wasn’t a flare, an aircraft, a shooting star or anything else I’ve witnessed before. Living in SC I know what the stealth aircraft out of North airbase look like….it did not appear to be anything military related. I honestly have no clue what it was.

GLOWING BALL CLOSE ENCOUNTER BY FRIENDS IN MISSOURI
December 10, 2015    ………….  ST CHARLES MISSOURI
Me, my girlfriend and two of my friends went down to the Flatlands in our town.  On the way to the spot we hang out at the driver my friend noticed a bright orb on the left hand side of his car far above a few. It disappeared very quickly and he didn’t say anything about it until later.   We arrived at the spot my other friend jumped out of the car screaming, what is that,  what is that.  He began chasing whatever he saw and later described it as a fireball that just came out Overhill directly next to us.  He described it as a big red flaming ball as close as a hundred feet from us that took off at a very high speed.  With the rest of us not believe in him, we continue to hang out on this road in the middle of the flats, late at night.   As my friends and my girlfriend sat by the car talking, I was in the middle of the street facing down the opposite direction of the street, when in the blink of an eye, a giant white glowing ball appeared right before me directly above the street approximately 50 feet ahead of me and a hundred feet in the air.  The ball appear to be growing in the purely bright white light and just hovered there staring at me. I still have no clue whether to where it was a solid craft or just pure light but as quick as it came, it shot off to my left hand direction leaving a light trail behind it. This object was too close to be mistaken for any helicopter or crop duster let alone a weather balloon. The way it moved and disappeared was as if was magic with its unreal speed and not to mention that it made absolutely no sound what so ever. My friends and I continue to bring up that odd night we experienced together .  For more info on this happening or our  or for a more detailed report and exact locations and eye witnesses please don’t hesitate to make contact.  NOTE: The above image is CGI.

PYRAMID STYLE ALIEN CRAFT ENCOUNTER ON LONG ISLAND

ARTICLE PYRAMID KEN PFEIFER 4-7-16

PYRAMID STYLE ALIEN CRAFT ENCOUNTER OVER NEW YORK

MARCH 8, 2016 ……………. FARMINGDALE NEW YORK

Strange object seen above Long Island, NY, that I cannot explain.  I was standing in the kitchen with my wife, looking out the window, as I often do, when I noticed a strange object in the sky. I immediately knew I was seeing something that I do not see regularly, but as I watched it, I became fascinated.  I quickly went outside and watched what appeared to be a pyramid like shape, very dark, possibly metallic black in color slowly hovering towards us.  I was thinking drone at first but it seemed too high up in the sky to be anything controlled from the ground.  It continued to move toward us slowly, and I couldn’t take my eyes off it for a second. I thought maybe it was some kind of strange helicopter (it seemed to be about that size) and I thought I could see some kind of swirling above it, but I could not focus on anything for sure. I then noticed two very small objects hovering around it. One stayed kind of below it and the other to the right of it. They would seem to change distances from the object, but never move to far towards it or away.  These objects were coming out of the east and then turned and started moving higher into the sky and north. I thought I saw it wobble a bit before it headed north. The smaller objects also looked very dark, black and would occasionally glint like metal from the sun for a second, just as the larger pyramid like structure did. 

ARTICLE FARMINGDALE NY

As it began to climb and head north, it appeared to have an energy bubble around it for a few seconds. It was light blue (cyan) circle of energy around it and my heart started racing when I saw this. It was quite visible first and maybe a minute later I saw it again but very faint.  As it continued North, It made no noise at all. It continued North until it faded from my vision.   My wife ran to get my binoculars but by that time it was very distant. She wears glasses and did not have them with her, so was unable to see any details.  I don’t know what I saw, but it was very strange. I keep thinking it could have been some kind of very elaborate balloon, but it feels like my rational mind is just trying to make sense of it. I’ve never seen anything in the sky even remotely like this and I hope that some of the other millions of Long Islanders have seen this and can give more information.   I love to hear your updates each week on Coast to Coast, but I never thought I was going to see anything to report, but I quickly thought of you afterwards and felt it was my responsibility to report this, even if it was just some hoax.    I’m sorry I didn’t take any pictures but I couldn’t move and I don’t carry my phone around with me. I hope my report is of some use to you! I hope someone took pictures!   Keep up the great work and keep looking up!  NOTE: The above image is CGI.

CAMPERS TERRIFYING CLOSE ENCOUNTER IN COLORADO

ARTICLE LIGHT LIGHTS KEN PFEIFER 4-6-16
CAMPERS TERRIFYING CLOSE ENCOUNTER IN COLORADO
APRIL 3, 2016   …………. HILL VALLEY CAMP GROUNDS , GRANT COLORADO
My two best friends and I (and my friend’s six year old son) went winter camping in our usual spot at Handcart Campground in Pike National Forest two nights ago. I will call my friends B & C for sake of anonymity. B & C and I stayed up until about ten p.m. watching the campfire while B’s son had gone to bed in the giant tent we were all sharing. We were drinking a few beers and passing around a whiskey flask, but none of us were drunk…not by a longshot. The sky was absolutely clear with probably the best view of the stars I’ve ever seen. The three of us put out the fire, climbed into the tent, and went to bed. The wind really picked up shortly after we went to bed. I had a lot of trouble falling asleep, much more than usual when I’m in the woods, but I did eventually doze off. I’m an experienced camper and not generally afraid of the wilderness, but I had a feeling of unease in my gut. It was odd but I chalked it up to the solitude of being at high elevation in the off-season, in an area four miles from the nearest houses and up a road we had to do a lot of rugged four-wheeling to get to. Around eleven thirty I woke up and had to urinate. My phone said it was 11:30 p.m. I still felt uneasy, just something in the air, I guess, so I threw on my boots and took my 10mm pistol with me. It was very cold so I made it quick. I got out of the tent, did my business, looked around for a moment and climbed back inside. Something did not feel right out there. Words cannot describe it, but I was not at ease. Also, the wind was incredibly loud, which made falling back to sleep impossible. I lay there, restless, for about an hour, until the event happened. An especially brutal blast of wind hit the tent and the rainfly battered the top of the structure. That’s what made me open my eyes. And that was when I witnessed what appeared to be camera flashes going off just above our tent. Just as the wind hit its peak velocity, those lights went off at the same time and lasted for about seven to ten seconds, covering a specific side of the dome’s top in an area visible to me of about three feet by two feet. At first, I thought it was lightning accompanying the wind, but I knew there were no (and I mean zero) clouds in the sky that night. I blinked a few times and whispered to my friend C, who was sleeping beside me. There was a muffled response and I asked him if he’d seen that light. I said I thought it might be lightning. There was no further response and I didn’t believe anyone else in the tent had either witnessed the lights or even been awake to see them (In the morning I found this was not the case.)
.
For the next ten minutes I stared at the roof of the tent, watching, terrified. My heart was racing, and try as I did, I could NOT get it to slow down. I exercise regularly and my heart rate was so fast it felt as if I’d just gotten done with a three-mile run. And it would not slow down. I tried to close my eyes and will it to slow, but it was impossible. I am not an overreacting kind of person but I was fairly certain I was at risk of having a heart attack as I lay there. My left arm even tingled off and on. I remember checking the clock on my phone but I cannot recall now what time it read. As the wind battered the tent I heard my buddies shuffle in their sleeping bags and I tried to talk to them again, but again I got no response. So I dug out my hip flask and took a few swigs of whiskey, trying desperately to calm my nerves. It was then I remembered the earplugs that were still in my coat pocket from when we’d gone out down the hillside to shoot rifles earlier that day. I dug them out and put them in my ears to block the sound of the wind and the tent skin flapping against itself. Then I could really hear my heart and it scared the hell out of me. At that point, I closed my eyes and tried to breathe as slow and deep as I could. I felt like I was calming, but my pulse still raced and I was wide awake. After what I can only guess was about fifteen minutes since the first pulse of light, another giant blast of wind caught the tent, the worst of the whole night, and I opened my eyes again to see another round of lights, this time green and situated at the opposite side of the tent’s top, flashing like paparazzi cameras for about five seconds. It was absolutely terrifying and I didn’t know what to think. After that I called out to my friends, not in a whisper, and again I received no response. I could make out their forms in the dark tent so I knew they were there but they didn’t respond. I gripped my pistol inside my sleeping bag and felt my shotgun resting right beside the bag. But neither of them brought me comfort. After that second round of lights the wind died down some. Not completely, but a fair amount. My heart still pounded and I put the foam earplugs back in, trying to drive out all other input but my own thoughts. I don’t know how long I lay there, but it felt like probably an hour passed as I tried, unsuccessfully to calm my pulse. The next thing I knew I was waking up to early morning light. I had managed to fall asleep at some point and was eternally grateful to see the sunlight playing at the edges of our tent through the trees.
.
My friends all woke up relatively soon after that, and I asked them was if they’d seen the lights. My friend B’s face said everything. And the first thing he said was he thought he was going to have a heart attack. He repeated an experience that was identical to mine above, including the inability to slow his heart and having pain in his left shoulder associated with it until he finally passed out. The exception to his story being he also heard a series of shrill mechanical beeps just before the second round of lights (something I decided I must have missed due to the earplugs). He also said he heard me ask about lightning after the first flashes but never heard anything else from me, possibly because of the noise of the wind. Our friend C did not witness any of the lights or sounds but said he did not sleep well at all, partly because of the wind, but also partly because he didn’t feel right. The child slept fine and didn’t wake up once, despite the wind. We made it back down the mountain and home yesterday morning. We didn’t even stick around to make breakfast, which we traditionally always do. I looked around in the snow in the area surrounding our tent but didn’t find any tracks, but to be honest, I didn’t attempt to look too hard. We broke camp, packed up, and got the hell out of there. I slept much better in my own bed last night, though thinking of the event still makes me shudder. I’m still processing it. It terrified me. And as a lover of camping and the outdoors, it pains me to say that I have no desire to go camping again anytime soon.  NOTE: The above image is CGI.

JANUARY 15 AND 16, 1967 …………. MASSACHUSETTS, CONNECTICUT AND NEW HAMPSHIRE
.
Jan. 15, 1967; Boxford, MA 3:00 a.m. EST. A witness saw a bright red object that looked like an upside down saucer (disc) with a white glowing rim. The object approached and circled the witness’s home before moving away and disappearing. (Fowler, 1974, p. 343.).
.
Jan. 15, 1967; Granville, MA 5:45 p.m. EST. A woman and her two nieces saw a domed disc with white light emanating from portholes in its base. A humming sound was heard, and the sky and ground were illuminated by white light. Red flame jets appeared at one end when motion occurred. Speed was variable. At one point all its lights went out, and when they came back on, the portholes were showing red light. The object was seen three times within 20 minutes before disappearing. (Hartford Courant, Conn., 1/16/67; Gillmor, 1969, case 13; Keyhoe and Lore, 1969a, p. 45; U.F.O Investigator, Vol. III, No. 11, Jan-Feb, 1967, p. 4.)
.
Jan. 15, 1967; North Granby, CN Unspecified time. Six miles to the southeast of Granville, MA in North Granby, Conn., two women saw a disc-shaped object with a flange around it and white beams of light from portholes. The object passed between witnesses and a mountain. (Springfield Union, Mass., 2/22/67, copy in Keyhoe Archives)
.
Jan. 16, 1967; Warner, NH 5:00 p.m. EST. A motorist noticed a bright light seemingly pacing him. A long cigar-shaped object with amber windows eventually came toward him on a slow and steady course, and he heard a soft purring sound. On one side was a blinking red light. Two very bright white lights were on the ends of protrusions sticking out from the sides near the front and these lights shone ahead like headlights. A second witness (retired missionary), was alerted and she reported seeing two bright light beams pointed earthward with a dark area between. The lights were bright yellow in the center and white around the edges. (New Hampshire NICAP Subcommittee report, NICAP files.)
.
Jan. 16, 1967; Warner, NH 5:15 p.m. A couple in the same area reported seeing a slow-moving gray object with body lights. At 5:30 pm a woman and her daughter saw an object that looked like a box kite without paper (presumably rectangular) with two bright headlights on the front. The object was moving slowly, and hovering soundlessly, but there was a purring sound when it started to move away rapidly. All witnesses reported the object to be huge. (U.F.O Investigator, Vol. Ill, No. 12, Mar.-Apr., 1967, p. 5.)

FORMER USAF MECHANIC’S ENCOUNTER WITH AN ALIEN CRAFT

2-10-10 SHINGLE SPRINGS CALIFORNIA--UFOSNW.COM
FORMER USAF MECHANIC’S ENCOUNTER WITH AN ALIEN CRAFT
.
NOVEMBER 7, 2015   …………..  WEST CARROLLTON OHIO
.
A witness from West Carrollton, in Montgomery County, Ohio, who claims to be a former USAF aircraft mechanic with more than 30 years of experience, has reported sighting and filming two mysterious, spinning and gem-shaped UFOs flying in a formation over his neighborhood.   According to the witness in a baffling report and video (see below) submitted to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) and filed as Case 72295, the incident occurred recently on November 7, 2015.  The witness was standing outside his home after dark smoking a cigarette when, at about 6:30 p.m., he noticed two mysterious and identical flying objects with lights rising slowly into the air. After the pair had risen above the tree line, they flew in a formation along a straight path from northwest to the southeast.  The UFOs had an identical gem shape and they appeared to spin in unison as they flew silently in formation across the evening sky.  “The two craft traveled a straight and level flight path from northwest to southeast,” said the witness, who has a military background, having served in the military as an aircraft mechanic for more than 30 years.  “They appeared to be a spinning gem shape, with no sound,” he continued. “Both were spinning in unison, and appeared to be flying in formation. Recon definitely came to mind.”  And despite his military background, his experience as an aircraft mechanic and considerable experience observing aircraft, the witness had no idea what the flying objects were.  He told MUFON that his experience in the military included four years as a mechanic at the USAF Edwards Air Force Base (AFB). During more than three decades with the USAF, he acquired an intimate knowledge and familiarity with USAF aircraft. He said he was certain that there was “absolutely” no regular USAF craft he has not encountered. But the twin crafts he saw flying over his home were entirely unknown to him both in design and manner of operation.
.
  At the time of sighting, the witness lived about 15 minutes’ drive from Wright Patterson AFB where he regularly observed and identified aircraft taking off from the AFB and flying overhead.  Determined to obtain evidence of the sighting, the witness filmed the UFOs with the only video resource he had at the time, his cellphone.  “In the short video I managed to get on my phone, I tried zooming in and out a little to maintain focus. I didn’t have my reading glasses on,” the baffled aircraft mechanic told MUFON.  The UFOs flew at a cruise speed in a straight line without attempting any complex or unusual maneuvers. He watched the UFOs in puzzlement as they flew across the sky until they disappeared from sight.  The craft in front disappeared first, while the second remained visible for only a few seconds after. The witness was struck not only by the unusual shape of the flying objects, but also by the spinning behavior. The UFOs spun in unison, the witness said.  “You will note towards the end, as tree branches become visible, the lead craft disappears, the second one travels a little further, and then disappears as well,” he said in his report.  He continued, “One thing I noted was the spinning in unison. I do not have the means to enhance video, and would love to see what you can bring out in the video.”  The witness reported the sighing to MUFON on November 8, 2015, the day after the sighting. MUFON officials in Ohio investigated the sighting but were unable to determine the nature of the UFO.  Reported sightings of gem-shaped UFOs are rare indeed. But Mirror reported in September, 2015, the sighting of a mysterious diamond-shaped UFO over Merseyside in northwest England. The hovering UFO was filmed over the English town at about 4:45 a.m. It pulsated with light that grew brighter and bigger before it began fading. After it had faded to near invisibility it began growing brighter and bigger again.  NOTE: The above image is CGI.  Video image was of poor quality.

LARGE ALIEN TRIANGLE ENCOUNTER IN ARIZONA’S CANYON

.

MARCH 27, 2016 ………. KINGMAN ARIZONA

.

In a remote canyon in the Cerbat Mountains, while 4 wheeling, we stopped in a valley maybe a mile across and I was looking for game through my binoculars . As the sun set over the mountain top I noticed a distinct pattern on the slope in rear of canyon. As the light changed a bit darker I noticed movement of a very large area of the background . Then distinctly I noticed 2 black winged things that resembled some type of kite one in front of the other. As it continued to get darker a pattern appeared as if almost ancient Mayan / Aztec . There was something large out there and it was now to dark to see and my girlfriend was freaking so we drove out. Curious as to what I saw I returned into the canyon with a friend after work the next afternoon to have another look at the area. We noticed the same pattern at rear of canyon and waited until the sun set again to see if anything changed. Again as the sun set and it shaded the valley the pattern on the terrain became different again except this time a definite shape was visible as it hovered maybe 100′ to 200′ above valley floor. As the area got a bit darker we could both see a very large triangular shape craft slowly moving across the valley floor ,south to north. It was very strange looking with a pattern of gold to dark rusty metal , covered with some ancient type of signs or writing , not sure looked Aztec/ Mayan. Off the front was some type of boom structure with the 2 black winged objects I had seen the night before. It made no sound and as it slowly moved the darkness made it vanish before our eyes. 2 min later we did see a row of sequential lights appear moving above the mountain in front of us in a westerly direction. As we drove out there were 4 aircraft flying east to west and north to south patterns over the area. Returned a third night to the valley and there was no sign of anything as we had seen previously.

SOXIET X-FILES …. ” THE PETROZAVODSK JELLYFISH UFO “

ARTICLE UFO KEN PFEIFER 4-2-16
Soviet X-Files…’The Petrozavodsk Jellyfish’
SEPTEMBER 20, 1977   …………..  PETROZAVODSK RUSSIA
.

It was 4:05 a.m. on Sept. 20, 1977. Something serious was happening over the skies of Petrozavodsk .  A group of dockworkers on the early shift that morning say they saw a blinding light emerge from the direction of Lake Onega in northwest Russia. As it approached Petrozavodsk, the light took on the appearance of a glimmering jellyfish, before slowing to a hover and unleashing a salvo of ultra-thin beams of light.  The dockworkers were left wondering what they had seen. Some were concerned they were witnessing a nuclear attack: This was, after all, the height of the Cold War.  But that did not explain what came next. After 12 puzzling minutes, the shining object transformed into a bright semicircle and jetted off back toward Lake Onega. Rather than disappearing over the horizon, it appeared to veer upward, before punching a burning red hole in the clouds, and disappearing into the abyss.   No one died, and the United States, it seemed, was not involved.  The Petrozavodsk jellyfish was not the first time a UFO had been spotted over the territory of the Soviet Union, but few sightings had ever been corroborated by so many people. Policemen, sailors, an ambulance crew and even a reporter for the TASS news agency all claimed to have seen the object. The TASS reporter filed his story three days later under the headline: “A strange natural phenomena over Karelia.”  Neighboring governments became alarmed, suspecting the Soviets had tested a new type of weapon. They demanded an explanation from Moscow, but Soviet leaders were apparently just as baffled. Officials even turned to the Academy of Sciences — the highest collection of scientific minds in the communist bloc — for an explanation. The Academy had no satisfactory answer, concluding that the UFO was a real physical phenomenon that required further study.  As Soviet UFO enthusiasts began promoting their own interpretations, the Kremlin convened an unprecedented meeting of military and scientific experts. They all agreed the UFO issue was too big to ignore, and resolved to launch a state investigation into the phenomenon.  Managed by the Defense Ministry and Academy of Sciences, the secret investigation began in 1978 and would run to the end of the Soviet era.

LEAR JETS CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH AN ALIEN CRAFT
.
JANUARY 13, 1967   ………  FLIGHT NEAR CASA GRAND ARIZONA
.
10 p.m. Pilot Carl M., an FO, and a passenger Jimmie Moran on a Lear Jet 23 en route from Houston, Tex., to Las Vegas, Nev., at 41,000 ft and 300 knots airspeed (Mach 0.82 or about 540 mph TAS) on a 300° heading saw a flashing  red oval luminous object in the 10 o’clock position. Object split into 4 similar red oval objects vertically a number of times, each separated by about 2,000 ft and each emitting a “red ray,” then retracting the lowest objects up into the top object. Albuquerque radar tracked the object 39 miles ahead of the Lear jet moving on the same heading, with no transponder signal and at that moment the object blinked off visually for 30 seconds then blinked on. Albuquerque control contacted a National Airlines DC-8 over Casa Grande, Ariz., whose pilot confirmed the Lear pilot’s reports. Albuquerque control warned the Lear that the object suddenly darted towards the Lear at high speed within seconds until the radar blips merged [possibly 39 miles in 10 seconds or roughly 14,000 mph]. Object flooded the Lear with intense red light so bright the pilot had difficulty seeing his instrument panel, and it maintained position in front of the Lear for a few minutes then, then blinked out then came on again and started falling back behind the left wing, then pulled forward again. (When the object blinked off radar at Albuquerque controllers would lose the object then regain it when it blinked on again (?).) Both UFO and Lear jet made left turns over Winslow, Ariz., then Los Angeles Center radar picked up both targets. Past Flagstaff the object climbed at a 30° angle disappearing to the W in <10 seconds.
