NAVY’S NEW POLICY TO REPORT UFO SIGHTINGS

Featured

The U.S. Navy is drafting new guidelines for pilots and other personnel to report encounters with “unidentified aircraft,” a significant new step in creating a formal process to collect and analyze the unexplained sightings — and destigmatize them.

The previously unreported move is in response to a series of sightings of unknown, highly advanced aircraft intruding on Navy strike groups and other sensitive military formations and facilities, the service says.

“There have been a number of reports of unauthorized and/or unidentified aircraft entering various military-controlled ranges and designated air space in recent years,” the Navy said in a statement in response to questions from POLITICO. “For safety and security concerns, the Navy and the [U.S. Air Force] takes these reports very seriously and investigates each and every report.

“As part of this effort,” it added, “the Navy is updating and formalizing the process by which reports of any such suspected incursions can be made to the cognizant authorities. A new message to the fleet that will detail the steps for reporting is in draft.”

To be clear, the Navy isn’t endorsing the idea that its sailors have encountered alien spacecraft. But it is acknowledging there have been enough strange aerial sightings by credible and highly trained military personnel that they need to be recorded in the official record and studied — rather than dismissed as some kooky phenomena from the realm of science-fiction.

Chris Mellon, a former Pentagon intelligence official and ex-staffer on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said establishing a more formal means of reporting what the military now calls “unexplained aerial phenomena” — rather than “unidentified flying objects” — would be a “sea change.”

“Right now, we have situation in which UFOs and UAPs are treated as anomalies to be ignored rather than anomalies to be explored,” he said. “We have systems that exclude that information and dump it.”

For example, Mellon said “in a lot of cases [military personnel] don’t know what to do with that information — like satellite data or a radar that sees something going Mach 3. They will dump [the data] because that is not a traditional aircraft or missile.”

The development comes amid growing interest from members of Congress following revelations by POLITICO and the New York Times in late 2017 that the Pentagon established a dedicated office inside the Defense Intelligence Agency to study UAPs at the urging of several senators who secretly set aside appropriations for the effort.

SHAPE SHIFTING ALIEN CRAFT ENCOUNTER IN CALIFORNIA

SHAPE SHIFTING ALIEN CRAFT ENCOUNTER IN CALIFORNIA

JUNE 5, 2017    …………….. GARDENIA CALIFORNIA

I was walking northbound from my parked truck to enter the building I work in. (2)I have always kept my eyes on the sky, even as a child. I have seen many unidentifiable craft in my days and my grandfather worked for Boeing and Rockwell. This helped create my interest in the sky watching at a very young age. (3) At first glance I thought that the object was a hovering helicopter, a bunch of balloons, or possibly a drone of some sort. The lack of noise or lights made me discredit the possibility of this object being a helicopter or drone. I work in the aerospace industry now and my company is 5 to 10 miles from lax. There are multiple flight paths that I observe daily to my admiration of aircraft. There are also a large number of military flights that take place in this airspace, but the military craft are usually helicopters and not jets. They are always very loud and noticeable. V22 Ospreys fly over the 110 South and then hook a right westbound over rancho palo verdes quite often as well. (4) When I first observed the object I was facing west from my location and I was under the impression that it was hovering in place. In retrospect, it may have been advancing towards my position because this was the only point in my observation that I was under the impression it may have been hovering. Once I noticed it was moving I also noticed it was doing so at a steady pace. It was traveling north east slightly (more north direction than east) and I observed it slowly adjust it’s path and change direction from north east to north west. It appeared to be attempting to morph. Despite the surface of this craft moving around in a very unstable and liquid type motion it’s velocity and trajectory were stable. It was almost like a cloud of heavy metallic black liquid but it’s overall shape remained relatively uniform. The nature of this object made it very hard to focus my vision on despite the fact that the craft was dark black and the grey clouds and sunrise made the sky very contrasted against the color of the craft. I felt as though it was tricking my eyes into looking at the clouds above it instead of the craft itself. Shortly after it changed direction (north east) it began to shift it’s shape more noticeably and it went from a big morphing liquid blob to an elongated and very small boomerang type black craft that was no longer morphing. It seemed to become completely solid at that point. Once again with no lights or sounds. Almost immediately after it shape shifted, It began to shrink in size at a extremely impressive rate. (5)I have witnessed many different types of unidentified objects and this was by far the most troubling and emotional sighting. I felt shocked and scared and for once I felt terrified instead of intrigued or awestruck. I have seen lights, orbs, but never anything like this. (6) It shrank in size until it was gone. Either it literally shrank, or it traveled away from me at a great speed. – MUFON  NOTE: The above image is CGI.

MYSTERIOUS ORB ENCOUNTER OVER AUSTRALIA

JUNE 4, 2017  ………  PORT MACQUARIE AUSTRALIA

1. Camping at Point Plomer. Looked out the roof of the tent (Sky roof) at 4am and saw a bright star like object which was moving occasionally within its area. Then, smaller star like objects started to come out of the bright object and fly away quickly in different directions. Also saw at least 5 ‘shooting stars’ in this time one which moved in an arc. I sat up after watching this for 30 minutes and saw a large bright object about 400 meters from our tent. It was hovering about 50 meters above the sand NE and started to come closer. It then changed from one bright light to 6 smaller lights (like it had changed from high beams to park lights!) before moving away. Over two hours it moved away slowly and I have video footage of the image spinning and when I zoom in you can see the lights. It stayed there until sunrise and was there until the sun was so bright we could no longer see it. Up in the night sky I saw 20+ of these objects, some which flashed red and some which would disappear and re-appear, some which zoomed off at incredible speed. Since then, we’ve seen the bright hovering light up the east coast the past week. I noticed it first by the Bright light moving, then other lights emerging from it. Then lights flashing red and large bright light spinning Could not be explained. Too large and fast for a drone (plus it was silent) I did not have a feeling of being threatened, more that it was just there to observe. It also did not seem bothered by being found as it was so prominent and did not appear to leave.

TREMENDOUS BOOMERANG ENCOUNTER IN NEW YORK STATE

DECEMBER 7, 2016   ………… FISHKILL NEW YORK

A 20-year-old college student, a young lady in the Fishkill area of upstate New York, was driving alone on a local road in the Fishkill area at about 6 p.m. on December 7, 2016, when she saw a tremendous boomerang in the sky. It was silver and larger than five or six football fields put together, she said in a telephone interview days after she filed a witness report with MUFON, which she filed more than three months after she experienced the event because she needed time to sort it all out, she told me. It was probably a hundred feet up, she said. It floated right over my car and even affected my cell phone. Turns out, the young lady experienced a Close Encounter of the Second Kind. The object passed over a large two-story building which helped her gauge the scale of the enormous object, she added.  Of course, the witness was stunned. She had never seen anything like it before in her life. I know what I saw, it wasn’t a plane, it was a boomerang-shaped, silent UFO, the witness wrote in her report. What’s more, the craft was absolutely silent and had three bright, white lights on each wing of the boomerang, she told me the telephone interview. I watched it hover, she went on for about 30 seconds.  Then it started to move away. I got my cell phone out to take a picture of it, but the phone wouldn’t work right. It was pushing numbers on its own. I couldn’t make it work! While I was fidgeting with it the boomerang came back and went the other way. I finally got the camera to shoot video, but you can’t see anything.  After reviewing a photo of the area that the witness sent me, on which she scribbled black marker lines to indicate the size and direction of the UFO over a building, I understood that the craft headed west towards the Hudson River, which is exactly what I would soon find out was the direction a second witness reported seeing the same craft move  that is, after I did my research on CMS.  NOTE: The above image is CGI.

HUGH TRIANGLE WITNESSED OVER LISBON PORTUGAL

OCTOBER 5, 2016 ………….LISBON PORTUGAL

Hello, can I report that I have just seen just now what looks like a UFO sighting over here near Oeiras, Lisbon, Portugal today October 5 2016 at 9:30pm.   I’m not easily convinced and can explain away lots of things but this was different.  It is night already.  I was in my garden just now and happened to look at the sky.  This is a place where aircraft heading for Lisbon airport, fly overhead making a lot of noise and blinking a lot of lights, nonetheless, I use Flight Radar 24 sometimes to track them for curiosity and nothing was flying above at the time. As I just said this was something completely different, big and totally quiet, heading in a straight line direction north-south heading south.  3 very dim yellowish lights no blinking in a triangle formation plus another light near the forward tip of the triangle slightly offset to the side all moving in perfect unison creating the appearance of a very big silent dark triangle moving through the starry sky completely silent at a speed of about 400 kph.  This seemed like a big dark triangle, moving in straight line in complete eerily silence or maybe it was something flying very high, like a satellite  moving in unison.   Sometimes you also see satellites flying above here, very rare and normally just one bright white light or reflecting sunlight flying through the sky.

.

Here I could not tell the altitude and couldn’t see any features, just three dim yellow lights forming what looked like a huge triangle in the sky of size at least aprox. double or triple the size of a conventional commercial aircraft of type Airbus a320 or Boeing 737 that you see when on the outskirts 10 miles away from the airport.   No blinking lights, no white or red lights, just three dim yellow lights navigating eerily silent through the sky forming a perfect triangle.  Whatever it was, it was probably painted dark because you could see nothing reflecting of it, just black and three dim lights. Just wanted to write this here before I forget the details.  Thanks and sorry for writing all this as.   I’m still kinda excited and very much puzzled. For the first time I tend to believe they are here among us but why the lights even if dim and flying over the outskirts of a city at this hour.   Possibly someone else has noticed it too.   Well, maybe there’s some kind of secret and mysterious new big silent craft that just glides through the sky in total silence. Minutes after that, several aircraft passed and you could clearly ear the loud noise and all the blinking lights you can even see the lights inside the plane, completely different on what is a starry night with just very high altitude clouds and temp aprox 20 centigrade especially in the dead of night. Curiously I didn’t have my phone with me, even if I had, it wouldn’t capture anything in the black of the night it would be like photographing dim stars.   Even if I had the camera, the thing zoomed by in just 3 or 4 seconds and then disappeared over the trees of neighbours gardens.   I tried to go to better vantage point but nothing.  The lights were too dim, so no time even to think in taking a picture as you’re just looking kind of in awe and perplexed.   Amazing especially the silence of a big flying object. Very eerie sudden and different experience but also fantastic.  NOTE: The aove image is CGI.

UFOLOGIST AMAZING ALIEN CRAFT PHOTO OVER ENGLAND

MAY 31, 2017……………NEWTON ABBOT DEVON ENGLAND

Hi Ken: I was sky watching and taking random photographs of passing passenger planes. I then decided to take some photographs of a passenger plane with a contrail that was way off in the distance. Then Just as I did a strange object appeared out of nowhere and flew in a straight line across the sky while I was looking through my camera’s viewfinder and was in the process of taking photographs. When I checked the photographs I had just taken I saw that I had indeed managed to capture the object in three of the photographs. The object was a grey colour and seemed to be reflective. The sun light had been reflecting off the top portion of the object as it had moved across the sky. The object also appeared to be changing shape and became more pointed towards what I Presumed was the back end of the strange object. The object then ended up resembling the shape of a horn it was very peculiar. The photographs were taken on the 31st of May 2017, 8:56:36 PM at Newton Abbot Devon England. All the best John.

MAJOR GEORGE FILER’S TESTIMONY ABOUT ALIEN ENTITIES

MAJOR GEORGE FILE’S TESTIMONY ABOUT ALIEN ENTITIES

Extraterrestrials  have been visiting us for a long time, and government officials and witness testimonies have consistently reiterated this to the public. Mainstream media has sort of made ET/UFO phenomena into a joke through heavy propaganda, which is strange given the fact that there’s so much evidence in support of it.  In reality, we are only a small fraction within a multiverse, so even if you do question the official government documents and other evidence in support of ETs, it still wouldn’t really make sense for Earth to be the only planet that houses life.   A video testimony of Air Force Intelligence Major George A. Filer III featured on Sirius Disclosure revealed details of a high-ranking military ET cover-up. In the interview, Major Filer explained that a military officer shot and killed an extraterrestrial after a UFO landed.  I’m not saying that this man’s story is 100% true, but I am suggesting that you watch his testimony and keep an open mind. This is not the first time a government/military official has come forward to discuss ETs, and I doubt it will be the last.UFO/ET information was classified for quite some time, and still is; but, only in recent years has the government shed more light on this thanks to the declassification of several UFO documents. 
For example, Mike Gravel, a former Democratic Senator, explained, Something is monitoring the planet, and they are monitoring it very cautiously, because we are a very warlike planet.
One of the most revealing testimonies was provided by Paul Hellyer, former Canadian Defence Minister:

In one of the cases during the cold war, 1961, there were about 50 UFOs in formation flying South from Russia across Europe. The Supreme Allied Commander was very concerned and was about ready to press the panic button when they turned around and went back over the North Pole. They decided to do an investigation and they investigated for three years and they decided that with absolute certainty that four different species, at least, have been visiting this planet for thousands of years. There’s been a lot more activity in the past two decades, especially since we invented the atomic bomb. They are very concerned about that and if we will use it again, because the whole cosmos is in unity and it affects not just us but other people in the cosmos. They’re very much afraid that we might start using atomic weapons again and this would be very bad for us, and them also.

Even the infamous Doctor Edgar Mitchell, the 6th man to walk on the moon, spoke out about ETs, saying, Yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered. . . . We are not alone in the universe, they have been coming here for a long time. . . . I happen to be privileged enough to be in on the fact that we have been visited on this planet, and the UFO phenomenon is real.

KEN’S NOTE:  George Filer is the State Director for MUFON New Jersey.  George has been my boss for over 10 years now and he lives in Medford New Jersey.  Annual meetings with George always reveals new stories and alien evidence experienced by George Filer.  While flying for the Air Force, he chased an alien craft over England.   This experience led to George’s natural curiosity into Ufology and his many years of looking for the truth.

UFO GREEN ORB CLOSE ENCOUNTER IN PORTUGAL

JULY 10, 2015   ………….  CASTELO BRANCO PORTUGAL

 I was taking a night walk with my husband in Monsanto village, in Portugal. 2. The village is located in an elevation and from there we have panoramic view for all the surrounding places, and I was facing East from a descending street in the same direction. 3. ‘There goes an UFO’. 4. It was around 22.40pm. The sky was full of stars because there are few city and village lights interfering with the sky viewing, no clouds that night, summer breeze and 24C/75F of temperature. It was green light, round shaped, it looked like a green traffic light because of it’s color and brightness. It was going in a fast speed from West to East, Spain direction. The object only took 2 seconds covering a distance that a plane covers in about 20 seconds. It was probably more than 1 mile high, and at least 2 miles away from the place I was. 5. Since it wasn’t the first time I saw an UFO, I knew what I was seeing in that very same moment. I sometimes ‘know’ that something is going to happen a few minutes or hours before it happens, and sometimes ‘something’ makes me look up, like someone is tapping me in the shoulder and saying to me: ‘look up, now’. After the sighting I went to a terrace in the place I was staying, that has a panoramic view from the village surroundings and an incredidle sky visibility, stayed there for 40mn searching the sky but had no luck. The night after I spent 3h looking the sky between 9pm and 0am, but had no luck in a new sighting. 6. I was gone in a blink, like it was vanished in the air.  KENS NOTE: The above image was captures in Wales England.  These strangle Alien orbs are spotted all over the world.

This case is under investigation by Portugal International Director Ken Pfeifer

ALIEN CRAFT CLOSES MAJOR AIRPORT IN PERU

FEBURARY 2017   ………….JORGE CHEVEZ AIRPORT PERU

Peru: A Dozen UFOs Suspend Flights in Peru’s Jorge Chavez Airport

A flotilla of UFOs allegedly caused the suspension of flight operations at the Jorge Chavez Airport in El Callao. The sighting ocurred during the month of February, and what startled Peruvian ufologists is that the Corporacin Peruana de Aeropuertos y Aviacion Comercial (CORPAC, Peruvian Airports and Commercial Aviation Corporation) recorded the incident in an official document.  With regard to the alleged sighting of the UFO flotilla in the Jorge Chavez Internationa Airport’s airspace, ufologist Mario Zegarra says CORPAC filed official documents recording the incident, which hindered air oeprations that evening.  According to Zegarra, there are recordings capturing conversations between the control tower and those pilots unable to take off or land in the airport for at least three hours.  “The radar at Jorge Chavez captured 12 unidentified contacts on its screen, each identified with code 0000 for UFO,” said Zegarra.  Another ufologist, Joshue Cornejo, says that a UFO was recorded at 7:38 that evening using night vision equipment. “These objects cannot be seen unaided,” Cornejo noted, but can be captured on the infrared band.”

MOTHER AND CHILDS ALIEN ABDUCTION IN CHICAGO

JUNE 1992 ………………..CHIGACO ILLINOIS

Location. Chicago, Illinois Date: June 1992 Time: 3:00 a.m. One early morning (five years after hearing and seeing a saucer-shaped craft hovering over the house next door) the witness was awaken from her sleep by what she sense to be a group of small beings. At the time she was a new mom, around 23 years old and her baby was about 3 months old. The baby was in bed with her that night (she did not sleep well in her crib) and she remembers being very aware of what was going on and against her will, taken out of her room and floated down her family’s long apartment hall where she was met by a security gate across the back door. Her dad and mom’s bedroom was just across the hall, and she had several other siblings in the home. Oddly, no one else woke up and she was unable to call out or make anyone aware of what was going on. When she reached the gate, she consciously thought great she figured now that she could be taken no further and would obviously be left inside. She knew she did not want to go outside nor go with whatever these things were. At that point, she blacked out. The next thing she remembers she awoke in an all metal room, which was not very large, and she was lying on a metal table. There was a large examination light by the table and shining brightly over her. All of the sudden she realized that she should have been in bed, but was in some strange place, what she believes was some sort of craft. She asked herself a few questions to test her rationale and she was very much of sound mind.

She panicked, because she realized what was happening. She did not see anyone else at the time and could only hear faint sounds, maybe some sort of communication in a different room. She told herself that she would get up and sneak away, however she had nowhere to go. When she slowly raised up as to not make any noise, she looked over to see her baby, dressed in the yellow T-shirt she had gone to bed in, lying on a small metal slab in the corner. That’s when she ˜freaked out and without thinking she remembers screaming and running out of a doorway into a dim curved hall with large windows surrounding it. It was not her intent to leave her baby, but the hysteria took over and her brain told her to run. As she was running for a very short time she remembers hearing a group come from behind. Suddenly, she was grabbed by several beings, and it was then that she saw one, a small grey alien by her left side holding on to her arm. She remembers trying to fight and pushing the one down, which seemed fairly easy, while she was taken to the floor by the others. Next she woke up in her bedroom again and she was being held down, while vocally screaming this time and calling her mom by her nickname. There was something placed at the back of her head in a hurry and it buzzed and shocked her as blue flashes of light reflected off the wall. This all happened while the T.V. was on in her room. The T.V. had been on even before the entire experience occurred. After seconds she could hear her parents running towards her room, and in an instant, she was let go. She was fully awake but could not see them. They seemed to become invisible or something. She tried to explain to her parents, but they believed it was a nightmare. The experience left her traumatized and she prays that every time she closed her eyes they won’t show up. She claims that after this experience she has been visited on several occasions. She described the aliens as thin and large-headed that appear to be a bit more transparent from the head down and she could see what appears to be some type of brownish fluid being circulated throughout their bodies.

ALIEN DISC CLOSE ENCOUNTER OVER PORTUGAL

AUGUST 15, 2013  ………….. GONDOMAR PORTUGAL

It was mid August 2013. Got up around 4AM(GMT) and made myself a cup of coffee and went to my rear (eastern) balcony, looked up, the sun was already rising over the mountains, and that’s when I saw it, a translucent chrome sphere. It moved very slowly, didn’t make a sound, what I actually noticed was the absence of ambient sound. No noises, no car sounds, no bird chirps, no wind noise, and it was a bit windy. It probably hovered at an altitude of 30/40 meters, and from 500 to 700 meters in front of me, moved in various directions for about 20 minutes, during that time, it gradually started to “build up” a misty cloud on the lower part of the sphere, then absorbed through the misty part two other smaller spheres that appeared similar in nature, at that point it changed to an oval shape that was tilted to the side, oscilated quite a bit and clearly rotated on itself. The rest of the time, it “built up” even more mist, to the point when it appeared thicker than a cloud, after that, heading in a NE direction, it disappeared leaving a small trail and a pale blue/greenish hue. At the time, I thought it was a beautiful event, very soothing. But I saw it again today, and I live 200 kilometres away from that other location, and where I live now is considered to be a very UFO activite area, since it’s close to the sea.  NOTE: The above image is CGI

AMAZING ALIEN CRAFT PHOTOS OVER COLORADO

SEPTEMBER 25, 2016   ………….SUPERIOR COLORADO

A Colorado witness at Superior reported watching and photographing five metallic-like objects moving overhead at about 30,000 feet that could not be identified, according to testimony in Case 79398 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.   

The witness stated that his wife called him outside at 4 p.m. on September 25, 2016, under a sunny, bright blue sky with no clouds, to look at a group of objects.

She called me out to witness five metallic-like objects slowly traveling through the sky  very high, at a height above the current airline traffic, I would say more than 30,000feet, the witness stated.  The objects seemed to fluctuate in brightness, potentially from changing its position with respect to the sun.  The two watched the objects move across the sky for about 15 minutes.

They moved in a northwesterly direction. Weather report at the time said that the prevailing wind in the area was easterly at 2 mph. The objects were fairly spread apart, definitely not a tight formation. After about 8 minutes, three of the objects disappeared, and two carried on. I took several pictures with my Nikon SLR, at my maximum zoom (135). For the pictures attached, I maxed out my digital zoom imaging on these photos in order to capture their shape.

BILLIONAIRE BIGELOW BELIEVES ALIEN CRAFT EXIST

On 60 Minutes Bigelow Aerospace president Robert Bigelow said there has been and is an existing presence, an ET presence on or around Earth. I’m absolutely convinced. That’s all there is to it,  Bigelow told Laura Logan.

Bigelow, whose company has partnered with NASA and Elon Musk’s SpaceX to test their immense, expandable spaceship habitats, inflated in orbit, has been a believer in UFOs as extraterrestrial phenomena since his grandparents reported encountering a craft that sped up and came right into their face and filled up the entire windshield of the car.  But Bigelow’s belief in extraterrestrials visiting Earth go far beyond conclusions reached from family anecdote and the public record, or so he implies. I spent millions and millions and millions .   I probably spent more as an individual than anybody else in the United States has ever spent on this subject.  Through his now-defunct National Institute for Discovery Science, Bigelow collected hotline reports of UFO sightings and precipitated a minor scandal in UFO circles by allegedly buying Mutual UFO Network case files from an inside source. He’s even bought up physical evidence and worked it out so the FAA submits UFO sightings directly to Bigelow Aerospace, since there’s no government entity accepting them.

Bigelow noted during the interview that his grandparents spotted a UFO on a canyon road outside Las Vegas: It really sped up and came right into their face and filled up the entire windshield of the car. And it took off at a right angle and shot off into the distance, he told 60 Minutes reporter Lara Logan.  . When Logan asked if he’s risking anything by taking a public stance that UFOs are visiting Earth, Bigelow said, I don’t give a damn. I don’t care.  It’s not going to make a difference. It’s not going to change reality of what I know, he said. You don’t have to anywhere it’s just like right under people’s noses.  If whatever Bigelow has found is so compelling, perhaps it’s time he share. Instead, Bigelow repeatedly hints at big secrets, sufficient for absolute certainty, that he’s simply not telling. The absence of evidence would be sufficient to dismiss most other UFO boasts of this nature. But in Bigelow’s case it’s not simply a naked claim, but one backed by an aerospace billionaire who has spent years privatizing vast troves of UFO evidence.

FISHING BUDDIES CLOSE ENCOUNTER IN ARGENTINA

DECEMBER 2012 …………….ENTREE RIOS ARGENTINA

“Good afternoon, Andrea. My name is Pablo and I am a native of the city of Rosario, Santa Fe. I have visited the islands area near my city for over 20 years. The reason for this message is to share an experience I had with a group of friends (2 friends and myself) during a fishing trip some years back, I believe around December 2010. We set out from the Henry Morgan boat basin in Rosario headed for the service canal that runs parallel to the route linking Rosario with Victoria. We followed this course up to 15 kilometers east of the toll.

“Our first experience took place around 1:50 a.m… We were anchored and fishing at the merger of the stream known as Boca de la Milonga and the lagoon into which it empties, which then becomes the canal that follows the route to Victoria. We were some 7 km from the toll when we saw a light heading east to west over the route or running parallel to it, at a distance of one kilometer.

“We thought it was an airplane, and since we all had very bright flashlights, we began pointing the beam of light at it. Of course, the airplane approached and its lights became brighter, as though illuminating us. At his point we were startled and wondered what that thing could be, becoming alert and defensive, to the extent that one of my friends reached for his sidearm.

The situation lasted some 10 seconds before the object changed direction after coming within one or two kilometers of us. What was odd is that it had red and green lights rotating around it, and had at least four of what seemed to be little portholes, casting amber light from the interior. It was very odd, since it made no noise whatsoever and appeared to float gently.

“I’d like to make clear that it was a starry, windless night with nothing that could cause any noise issued by the craft to drift. The fact is that we were stunned by the sight and began conjecturing.

“The craft vanished to the north after making a turn. I tried recording it with my cellphone but I don’t know what happened. I was so nervous that I forgot to press the button or something. Immediately after I looked for the video but couldn’t find it.

“After this event, we returned to the headwaters of the stream on the edge of Granadero Baigorria at the distillery crossing, and managed to make the recording with the cellphone. Between the 4th and 6th second one can see a triangular UFO that appears and disappears over the lights of the Rosario-Victoria bridge. I received some remarks from a family living in a building in Rosario facing the islands, and they saw lights moving in the island area that night.”  NOTE: The above image is CGI.

POLICE OFFICERS POSSIBLE ALIEN ABDUCTION IN ENGLAND

NOVEMBER 28, 1980   ………… TODMORDEN WEST YORKSHIRE ENGLAND

Police Constable Alan Godfrey was on patrol on the night of 28 November 1980. Just before dawn he drove along Burnley Road on the edge of Todmorden looking for some cows that had been reported missing. They were only found after sun-up, mysteriously relocated in a rain-soaked field without hoofmarks to indicate their passage.
 
Giving up his nocturnal hunt, Godfrey was about to go back to base to sign off duty when he saw a large mass a few hundred yards ahead. At first, he thought it was a bus coming towards him that took workers to their jobs in town and that he knew passed about 5:00 a.m. But as he approached, he realized that it was something very strange. It was a fuzzy oval that rotated at such speed and hovered so low over the otherwise deserted highway that it was causing the bushes by the side to shake. The police officer stopped, propped onto his windscreen a pad that was in the patrol car to make sketches of any road accidents, and drew the UFO. Then there was a burst of light, and the next thing he knew he was driving his car again, further along Burnley Road, with no sign of the UFO.
 
Godfrey turned around and examined the spot where the UFO had hovered. The road was very wet as it had rained heavily earlier in the night. But just at this one location was a circular patch where the roadway had been dried in a swirled pattern. Only when back at the police station did he realise that it was a little later than he had expected – although any missing time was probably no greater than 15 minutes from estimates later taken on site.
 
Concerned as to possible ridicule, Godfrey at first chose not to make an official report, but changed his mind later that day when he discovered he was not alone. After breakfast that morning, a driver who had been on Burnley Road three miles further out at Cliviger reported seeing a brilliant white object and contacted Todmorden police. The time matched that of Alan Godfrey’s. Furthermore, a police patrol from an adjacent force (Halifax) had been engaged in a stakeout for stolen motorcycles on the moors of the Calder Valley and had witnessed a brilliant blue-white glow descending into the valley towards Todmorden shortly before Godfrey experienced his close encounter. Their story, when it reached Todmorden police station, formed a second match.
 
Encouraged by this news Godfrey filed an official report, but was surprised when police chose to release the story to the local newspaper the following week. From here, UFOlogists discovered the case and a lengthy investigation was mounted by a Manchester-based UFO group.
 
Although Alan Godfrey had no further conscious recall of the missing time, he did have increasingly confused memory of the sequence of events surrounding the sighting (with an unexplained image of seeing himself outside the car during the sighting). There was also puzzling physical evidence. His police-issue boots were split on the sole, as if he had been dragged along the floor and they had caught on something. He also reported a previous history of seeing other strange things and having experienced at least one earlier time lapse as a youth—factors that UFOlogists have come to recognise as common with abduction cases.
 
When sure that all conscious testimony had been recorded, Godfrey agreed to be hypnotically regressed by a Manchester psychiatrist eight months after the incident. He eventually had several other sessions with different therapists, and his recall in later sessions was video-taped. The doctor refused permission to the UFO group for the first session to be recorded.
 
The hypnotic testimony is very odd, and Godfrey was never to be sure what really happened. Under regression he told of the bright light stopping the car engine, causing his radio and police handset both to be filled with static and then to be swamped by blinding light as he lost consciousness. His next recall was of being inside a strange room, more like a house than a spaceship, complete with a most unexpected large black dog. He was studied by a heavily bearded man who telepathically conveyed that his name was “Yosef” and whose clothing was very Biblical in nature. Assisting Yosef were several small robot-like creatures “the size of a five-year-old lad” and with “a head shaped like a lamp”. They are reminiscent of the “Grays” of UFO lore; although with major differences.
 
Godfrey was supposedly asked questions, told that he “knew” Josef, and was promised a later encounter. But apparently he was not subjected to the more familiar indignities of abduction stories (especially from  the US), such as bodily fluid samples and rectal probes. Although there were periods of missing memory, the hypnotic recall that did emerge was a curious hybrid of mythic images, UFO case elements and dream like sequences.
 
When asked his opinion as to the reality status of this hypnotic testimony, Alan Godfrey was refreshingly honest. He told me he was certain that the UFO encounter was real, but he could not determine whether the story offered by hypnosis was a dream, a fantasy, reality, or a mixture of all three.
 
Unhappily, Alan Godfrey suffered terribly after this encounter. When I first wrote up the investigation (just before the regression hypnosis began) for Flying Saucer Review magazine in 1981, I deliberately changed his identity to help protect him; although this was probably futile because the story had already been featured in the local press under Godfrey’s real name.
 
However, despite my refusal to assist them, a tabloid reporter traced the witness and devoted a front-page banner headline article to the story  read by millions over the Sunday lunch which led to the officer being called to explain himself before his superiors. He was forced to undergo medical investigation to determine his “status”, but was pronounced psychologically fit and healthy. Yet after some years feeling that he would never be allowed to forget his sighting, he took advice to honorably resign over an unrelated physical injury incurred during an incident in which he bravely intervened to avert a crime.
 
Todmorden, both before 1980 and in the years since, has been a hotbed of alien contact activity with several other major encounters having been investigated, including another abduction of a truck driver from Burnley Road only a little further out of Todmorden and on the same highway.

NEW HAMPSHIRE’S POLICE CLOSE ENCOUNTER IN KEENE

OCTOBER 15, 1984  …………… KEENE NEW HAMPSHIRE

 Keene, N. H. police got an anonymous phone call. The man refused to give his name because he said his wife would think he was crazy. He told the police something strange was hovering over the city.  A skeptic familiar with crank calls, Sgt. John Zeller was in no hurry to reach the section of Route 12 where the object was reported.  As he drove from West Street to Route 12, the car coming toward him screeched to a stop, and two people got out, pointing at the sky.  “There was something, mostly lights, hovering five to 700 feet off the ground, red, green, white pulsating types,” Zeller says. “All you could see was the lights, you couldn’t see any outline. The strange  thing was, this was absolutely still, like it was stuck there. There was no sound. I stood there probably two minutes.”  Then Sgt. Zeller aimed his 200,000 candlelight power spotlight at the hovering lights.  “You could see the light beam through the dark,” Zeller says. “The minute the light beam was put on it, it came toward it, at an angle, lowering at the same time. It was so clearly unconventional. The thing kept coming about 100 feet from the cruiser, traveling as fast as you’d ride a bicycle.”
 
The strange craft hovered over the cruiser, barely moving. Zeller saw no markings, no openings, and can’t remember if he saw wings, but he described the object as 40-50 feet long, 10-15 feet wide, cream-colored with blunt ends, ridged on the bottom like an old-fashioned bathtub.  “It gave out a two-tone hum,” Zeller says. “It went over to a car wash and it did something which I assume was turning around, then it went  boom  over toward the Ramada Inn.”  Zeller admits he’d never seen anything like the thing that hovered over his cruiser the night of Oct. 15, 1984.  NOTE: The above image is CGI.

HUNDREDS OF ALIEN CRAFT REPORTS OVER BELGIUM


Date of sighting: October 1989
Location of sighting: Belgium
From October 1989 throughout 1990, hundreds of reports of lighted objects, frequently described as enormous and triangular in shape were recorded in Belgium. Air Force supersonic F-16 jets chased these strange objects, which were simultaneously tracked by both airborne and ground radars. The Belgian Government cooperated fully with civilian UFO investigators, an action without precedent in the history of government involvement in this field.  The Chief of Operations of the Royal Belgian Air Force, Colonel Wilfred De Brouwer (now Major General and Deputy Chief of the Belgian Air Force), set up a Special Task Force Unit to work closely with the Gendarmerie to investigate the sightings as soon as they were reported. Among the thousands of witnesses were many military and police officers, pilots, scientists and engineers. The wave was documented by the Belgian Society for the Study of Space Phenomena (SOBEPS), a private organization from Brussels, which published two thick volumes on the UFO wave.
The first important case was a multiple-witness observation of a strange aircraft, reported by gendarmes on patrol near the town of Eupen, not far from the German border. Auguste Meessen, professor of physics at the Catholic University in Louvain and a scientific consultant of SOBEPS, summarized the case:  “On November 29, 1989, a large craft with triangular shape flew over the town of Eupen. The gendarmes von Montigny and Nicol found it near the road linking Aix-la-Chapelle and Eupen. It was stationary in the air, above a field which it illuminated with three powerful beams. The beams emanated from large circular surfaces near the triangle’s corners. In the center of the dark and flat understructure there was some kind of ‘red gyrating beacon.’ The object did not make any noise. When it began to move, the gendarmes headed towards a small road in the area over which they expected the object to fly. Instead, it made a half-turn and continued slowly in the direction of Eupen, following the road at low altitude. It was seen by different witnesses as it flew above houses and near City Hall.” Sightings continued to be logged by SOBEPS and the Gendarmerie during the fall and winter of 1989-1990. Most witnesses described seeing dark, triangular objects with white lights at the corners and a red flashing light in the middle. Many of the objects were said to have hovered, with some of them then suddenly accelerating to a very high speed. Most of the objects made no sound, but some were said to have emitted a faint humming like an electric motor.

Zecharia Sitchin Ancient Clay Tablets Describe Ancient Astronauts UFOs

A few years ago before his death on October 9, 2010, I had dinner with Zecharia Sitchin whose work was based on clay tablets some of oldest recorded writings known to man that were found in modern day Iraq (Samaria). Sitchin’s work consists of eight books promoting an explanation for human origins involving ancient astronauts. He explained to me that much of the ancient data is also contained in the Book of Genesis, which is the basis for many of the world’s religions including Christianity and Judaism. Basically it tells that God created the Earth and all living things. Visitors from space called the Nephilim came to Earth and mated with women. A great war occurred in the planet Heaven and a group of angels led by Satan were forced out and settled on Earth. Satan or the Devil attempts to convince mankind to follow his beliefs. The combatants are referred to in the Dead Sea Scrolls as the Sons of Light versus the Sons of Darkness. This war has continued for over 6,000 years.

We can assume the craft in our skies have a connection with these ancient writings. Genesis has more relevance to the present day than you might realize. There are two wills in the universe, God’s will and Satan’s will.

Genesis 19 is one of the most commonly cited passages in the Bible that describes the destruction of Sodom. The term Sodomite was originally used to refer to an inhabitant of Sodom  a city which was located in Canaan, present day Israel. It later became a legal term to refer to criminal sexual acts. God apparently had a fierce anger directed at the inhabitants of the town. He destroyed Sodom with fire and brimstone (sulfur) dumped from above. According to the story, he killed all of the inhabitants of Sodom for threatening the rape of two angels who blinded their attackers.

KENS NOTE: The Bible talks about the Nephilin and they were visitors from space that mated with the woman of earth.  I would bet that 99.9% of todays Christians do not know this…..WHY ????    Possible the editors of the New Testament , in the year 325 A.D. , did not want the new Christians to know this fact.

The Nephilim were on the earth in those days–and also afterward–when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

King James 2000 Bible
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

 

American King James Version
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

 

American Standard Version
The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them: the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown.

 

Douay-Rheims Bible
Now giants were upon the earth in those days. For after the sons of God went in to the daughters of men and they brought forth children, these are the mighty men of old, men of renown.

 

Darby Bible Translation
In those days were the giants on the earth, and also afterwards, when the sons of God had come in to the daughters of men, and they had borne [children] to them; these were the heroes, who of old were men of renown.

 

English Revised Version
The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them: the same were the mighty men which were of old, the men of renown.

 

Webster’s Bible Translation
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them: the same became mighty men, who were of old, men of renown.

 

World English Bible
The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when God’s sons came in to men’s daughters. They bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

 

POLICE CHASE ALIEN CRAFT THROUGH ILLINOIS

JANUARY 5, 2000   ………….. SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE ILLINOIS

 
Date of sighting: January 5, 2000
Location of sighting: Illinois, USA
 
Source: David B. Marler, Illinois State Director, MUFON Journal No. 383 (March 2000)
 
“Illinois police officers track UFO near Scott AFB”
 
During my ten years of investigating UFOs, I have never had a case like the one that occurred in the early morning hours of Jan. 5, 2000. The UFO incident involved multiple witnesses, which mainly consisted of police officers from a number of small Illinois towns.
 
The officers were able to track the unknown object and maintain radio contact with each other during the event. Adding to this, Scott Air Force Base was only two miles away from the flight path of the UFO. This episode became the focus of intense media coverage, which continued weeks after the actual event.
 
The first person to notice anything unusual that early morning was Melvern Noll. Noll is the owner of a miniature golf course located in Highland, IL, which is approximately 24 miles from St. Louis, MO. During the off-season he is a truck driver making deliveries at all hours of the day and night.
 
Noll was returning from a delivery run he had just completed at approximately 4 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 5. Before returning home, he thought he would check his miniature golf course and make sure everything was in order. He parked his truck in the back of the building and began to exit the vehicle. While doing so, he noticed a “bright star” over in the northeast sky. He didn’t give it much thought at the  time and proceeded to enter the building, After checking things inside, he was returning to his truck when he again noticed the “bright star” in the northeast sky. This time he stopped and observed it more closely.
 
He noticed the light was, in fact, moving in his general direction. In just a few minutes, Noll noticed the bright white light was only part of a larger object. It appeared to be rectangular in shape and was comparable to the size of a football field. Noll added that the object was also very tall.
 
This object had a series of “windows” that ran down the side. He also noticed two “floors,” each having two “windows.” These were described as rectangular with an intense white light radiating out from them. The “windows” appeared to be located more toward the rear of the object. When the object was very close, Noll stated he could see a large number of dim red lights on the bottom. He assumed the exterior color must have been black or dark gray.
 
The description he used to initially describe the object was “like a two-story house” in the sky. During this time, Noll did not notice any sound, odor, or emission coming from the object. As it moved away to the southwest he noticed “windows” on the back of the object. He added that these appeared to have a series of lines or bars in them that ran up and down.
 
The object appeared to move in a northeast to southwest direction. The speed was determined to be slow when compared to conventional aircraft. Noll said he recalls the object slowing down as it passed close to him before regaining speed as it moved away. Noll estimated the object was possibly a half-mile distant when it moved closest to his location. The altitude was estimated to be approximately 500 feet, and the duration of this sighting was estimated to be around 5 minutes.
 
Noll promptly drove his pickup truck to the Highland Police Station. He thought that nobody would believe him unless the Highland Police could contact a neighboring town’s police officer who could verify that there was something strange in the sky.
 
The dispatcher at the Highland Police Department listened to Noll’s account and determined that he was a rational individual, despite his unusual claim. She then contacted the Lebanon Police Department. Officer Ed Barton responded to the call around 4:10-4:15 a.m.
 
Officer Barton was initially skeptical upon hearing the transmission. He asked the dispatchers if they were joking. They stated they were not joking. He then proceeded to the north end of town, past Homer Park, on Widicus Road. He did not see anything in the sky at this time. He then followed Widicus Road as it turns from the north to the east, heading towards Illinois Route 4.
 
About halfway to Route 4, Officer Barton observed two large brilliant white lights in the northeastern sky. The lights appeared so close together that he thought they were almost touching each other. He stated the lights were so brilliant in intensity that the light rays radiated outward like the symbol of the Japanese Rising Sun battle flag from World War II. He became curious and decided to drive a little faster.
 
Upon arriving at Illinois Route 4, Officer Barton turned south, heading back towards Lebanon. He was able to observe the lights to his left through his driver’s side window as he was proceeding into town. At  some point, as he was alternately watching the lights and the road in front of him, the two bright lights now appeared to be one bright light. At this point, he switched on his overhead lights, now believing this  could possibly be an aircraft having problems.
 
Upon arriving in town, he made a left turn onto East Route 50 and proceeded east to a bridge at the bottom of the hill. At this point, while he was still driving, he noticed the one bright light appeared as an elongated cigar-shaped object. The object seemed to be stationary in the sky over the northeast end of the neighboring town of Summerfield.
 
Officer Barton stopped his vehicle on the side of the road, because he now noticed the object appeared to be heading in his direction. He stated it was not moving very fast, but not very slow either. Upon stopping the vehicle, he turned off all the lights and his squad car’s radio in an attempt to hear any noise possibly coming from the object. No noise was evident.
 
As it approached, he noticed the distinct shape of the object. It appeared as a massive, elongated, narrow triangle, larger in length than width. The apparent size of the object was conservatively estimated to be approximately 75 ft in length and 40 ft in width. At each corner, Officer Barton observed a massive bright, white light.
 
These lights did not waver in intensity and appeared to be pointing straight down. He stated they did not light up the ground, but were very bright. In addition, there was one smaller flashing red light situated closer to the two rear white lights, yet in the midline of the object. He noticed that the object was blotting out the stars above it as it passed by him. He still could not discern any noise emanating from the object.
 
At this time, the object appeared to be closest to Officer Barton, and he estimated it was no more than 100 feet distant and approximately 1000 feet above the ground. Then he observed the object rotating in the sky from a southerly heading to that of a southwesterly direction. As it rotated, the object did not bank as is expected of conventional aircraft. Rather, the object pivoted in mid-air without tilting to one side or the other and remained completely level.
 
At this point, Officer Barton radioed Central Command to tell them what he was observing, as well as its current location. In between transmissions, he stopped for a moment as the craft dramatically increased speed. The object was moving at a relatively slow pace at the beginning of his transmission, but accelerated so fast he could barely track the movement with his eyes.
 
He was able to observe the rear of the object before this display of velocity, and his best analogy is in comparing it to the Millenium Falcon spacecraft from the motion picture “Star Wars.” It appeared to be rectangular and illuminated by white light. Through the middle of the light, running lengthwise, was a band of multi-colored illumination. He stated that there were no individual colored lights visible. Rather, it appeared as a band of various colors, which blended into each other. He continued the transmission by informing Central Command that the object should now be around the town of Shiloh, approximately 8 miles to the Southwest.
 
Officer David Martin of the Shiloh Police Department radioed that he could now see something in the sky. Shortly thereafter, Officer Barton could no longer see the object from his location.
 
Officer Martin was driving on the southern end of Shiloh heading east when he observed the mysterious object, which appeared to be heading in a westerly direction. He was able to observe three brilliant white lights, which were shining downward from the object. However, the light did not illuminate the ground or objects on the ground. In addition, small red and green lights were observed on the back end of the object. At this time, Officer Martin thought the object’s altitude was approximately 1,000 feet. He estimated the distance from his car to the object to be about a quarter of a mile. He thought the object resembled the shape of an extra wide triangle or arrowhead. He estimated the apparent size to be 75-100 yards wide (Figure 3).
 
Officer Martin was driving slowly during his observations. He also rolled down his driver’s side window to determine if the object was emitting any sound. No sound could be heard. He finally decided to pull over to the side of the road and exit the vehicle for a better observation. At this point, the object increased in speed and disappeared in a westerly direction.
 
Officer Martin estimated the object’s initial speed to be 15 mph. When it increased in speed, he figured it to be at least 80-100 mph.
 
In the nearby town of Millstadt, IL, Officer Craig Stevens was on patrol and heard the radio traffic regarding the object. His curiosity was aroused, so he drove to the east end of Millstadt to see this mysterious thing in the sky. After not seeing anything, he proceeded to Liederkranz Park on the north end of town.
 
While sitting in his car, he observed a very large object that was roughly triangular in shape. Officer Stevens estimated the object to be only 500-1000 feet in altitude. The flight speed was described as extremely slow. He also stated that there was no noise with the exception of a “low decibel buzzing sound” that he could barely discern. As he watched the object, it began moving to the north. It had a white light on the left side, right side, and center of the back end. In addition there was a single red light on the bottom. The back end also appeared to be slightly recessed.
 
At 4:29 a.m. Officer Stevens contacted his dispatcher to advise him that he could now see the object. Then he exited his vehicle and grabbed the Polaroid camera from his squad car’s trunk. He aimed the camera at the object and took a picture, but the extreme cold temperatures of that morning (15-20 degrees Fahrenheit) caused the camera to work poorly. He was able to produce one photo, though poor in quality, before the object disappeared to the northwest.
 
The last police officer to report seeing the object that morning was from Dupo, IL. I interviewed him personally, but I do not have permission to use his name. This officer also heard the radio traffic that evening and decided to take a look for himself.
 
Approximately five minutes after Officer Stevens’ radio transmission from Millstadt, the Dupo officer observed an array of lights. Contrary to the other officers, this individual stated the object was at a relatively high altitude and proceeding in a north-northeasterly heading. It was so high in the sky that the officer said he wouldn’t have noticed it if it wasn’t for the radio traffic. He said it stayed east of Dupo.
 
The altitude was described as being higher than that of a small plane, but lower than that of a commercial aircraft. The officer viewed the object through binoculars, but was able to see only a conglomeration of lights: white lights at the extreme ends and red lights in the middle. He could not discern any size or shape, due to the distance and altitude.
 
These witnesses provide us with enough data to project the flight path of the object as it traveled over the Southwestern Illinois. It apparently came from the northeast and traveled slowly over Highland to Summerfield. Once there, it turned to the southwest and drastically accelerated. It traveled approximately 1-2 miles north of Scott Air Force Base and slowed as it passed over Shiloh.
 
Then it increased in speed again until it arrived near the town of Millstadt. After slowing, it altered direction again and turned to the northwest. Shortly after that, the object then made a drastic turn to the northeast while also increasing in altitude, maintaining a low altitude until this final maneuver.
 
Due to the location of Scott Air Force Base in relation to the UFO sightings, I found it necessary to contact them. Although I was not optimistic, I felt I should pursue every possible source of information. I wrote a letter of introduction, requesting answers to four important questions concerning the recent UFO sighting.
 
I promptly received a courteous, albeit uninformative, letter of response indicating that (1) the only calls received at the base were from the media, (2) no ground observers at the base have come forward with reports, (3) the base did not track any objects on radar, since radar services are provided by the FAA at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport, and (4) the base was not operating any craft resembling the reports .
 
However, better information was provided by the St. Clair County Sheriffs Office. They released copies of the dispatch tapes for the morning of Jan. 5,2000. What follows are the relevant transmissions:
 
Dispatcher. Lebanon, this is a call from Highland P.D. in reference to a truck driver who just stopped in. He said there was a flying object in the area of Lebanon. It looks like a two-story house. It had white lights and red blinking lights, and it was last seen southwest over Lebanon. Could you check the area?
 
Lebanon officer. Did they say the truck driver was DUI or anything? 10-4, I’m out…. Just a quick question. If I happened to find it, what am I supposed to do with it? If I see it, I’m not saying a word….
 
Also be advised the last thing that went over Leba-non-this was approximately five minutes ago was a military cargo plane. It looked like a C-5.
 
.. .Be advised there is a very bright white light east of town. It looks like it’s just east of Summerfield, and it keeps changing colors. I’ll go over there and see if it looks like an aircraft. It doesn’t look like an aircraft, though…. It’s not the moon, and it’s not a star.
 
If you would, will you contact Scott Air Force Base and see if they have anything flying in this area please?
 
Whether it’s a plane or not, it’s heading westbound now. It should be really close to Scott now…. As a matter of fact, if the Shiloh officer looks up, they can probably see it by now.
 
Shiloh officer: I see something, but I don’t know what the heck it is…. It’s probably heading to Lambert (Field).
 
Millstadt officer: I’ve got that object in sight also
 
Dispatcher: Are you serious?
 
Millstadt officer: It’s huge.
 
Dispatcher: Does it look like a-What does it look like to you?”
 
Millstadt officer: It’s kind of V-shaped. It looks like it’s possibly headed toward Lambert.
 
Dispatcher: 10-4. That’s what Shiloh said when it was heading towards Fairview Heights.
 
(One of the officers hums theme song to “Twilight Zone” over his radio.)
 
Millstadt officer: Really. Does Dupo have a Polaroid?
 
Dispatcher: That, I don’t know.
 
Dupo officer: I’m not sure what you’re seeing. It appears to be pretty high in the area. When I could first see it with binoculars, you could see it was different colors. Now it appears to be white.
 
Millstadt officer. Is it very large?
 
Dupo officer: It’s hard to tell. It’s pretty far off.
 
Millstadt officer: This object was above me about 500 feet. And it was huge.
 
Dupo officer: This thing appears … it’s probably 20 or 30,000. It’s about where planes usually are. It’s not low at all.
 
I would now like to discuss some particular aspects of this case. The first concerns the obvious differences in the descriptions given by the witnesses. In examining the figures, we can see there are major disparities between them, the largest difference being the description provided by Noll as compared to those of the police officers. Noll describes a large rectangular-shaped object. Less than fifteen minutes later Officer Barton reports seeing an elongated triangle. The other officers report seeing objects that are roughly triangular.
 
Beyond differences in shape, we also have radical differences in the lighting configurations that were reported. I believe there are several possibilities for the inconsistencies. The first involves the most prosaic explanation. Namely, witnesses can be wrong in their interpretations of what they claim to have seen. This is a fact all objective UFO researchers must never forget. Is it possible the witnesses made errors in their observations? Of course that is a distinct possibility.
 
One of the major problems relating to this is the issue of perspective. From what perspective did the witnesses view the object? Some witnesses were stationary, while others were driving at the time of their sighting. In particular, Officer Barton’s descriptions vary as he views the object from different distances and angles. To compound matters, the object was moving at various speeds and directions in relation to the observers.
 
Another explanation for the varied descriptions could be attributed to the notion that there were multiple objects of differing shapes in the sky that night. This would explain why different descriptions were received. I tend to refute this idea due to a couple of facts. The terrain around Highland, Summerfield, and Shiloh is extremely flat. On a clear night, like on Jan. 5, you can see for miles in all directions. This is especially true between Highland and Summerfield. If multiple objects were in the sky illuminated by an array of lights, observers would have seen any that were there.
 
Also, the timing of the sightings would tend to coincide with the flight of a single object moving from town to town. There were only a few minutes between each sighting, which tends to suggest it was the same object being witnessed from various locations.
 
Yet a third possible explanation could involve the object actually changing shape in flight. This is one of the more questionable ideas proposed, but a review of the UFO literature will reveal a multitude of cases which involve objects that appear to change form. I only consider it as a possibility.
 
Another issue that needs to be discussed is Scott Air Force Base. I find it hard to imagine that a large unknown object with bright lights could fly under 1000 feet within two miles of the base without causing  some concerns. I believe they may have more detailed information concerning this event. It is a distinct possibility that the object witnessed was a military craft of some type. Unfortunately, we do not have any evidence to support or refute this idea.
 
In closing, I would like to extend my thanks to Peter Davenport of the National UFO Reporting Center for his invaluable assistance in this case. Also, my thanks to the witnesses who were willing to come forward and share their experiences with us. Thanks, also to Forest Crawford who directly assisted me.  NOTE: The above image is CGI.
