On February 21, 1965, two unidentified flying objects appeared in the sky over a toldería (encampment) of so-called ‘civilized Indians’ in the locality of Chalac, province of Formosa. One of the two objects of unknown origin descended and touched the surface, after which three strange beings came out. One of the natives went to the police, but by the time the authorities reached the encampment, the improbable entities had boarded their craft once more and left the area. A second telling of this story, however, suggests that the landing took place among two score and ten members of the Toba peoples, and that the beings were tall entities surrounded by glowing lights. Their regal descent prompted adoration from the natives, and according to this version of the story, the natives heard a voice urging them not to fear, and that they would soon return to make their existence known to one and all…ending with the usual promise of bringing peace to the entirety of the planet. The shining beings re-entered their craft, which took off with a blinding light.
In 1949, during the months of March through June a series of UFO Sightings occurred over Camp Hood, now Fort Hood), in Central Texas, USA. Below is a synopsis of the sightings.
March 6, 1949; Killeen Base, Camp Hood, Texas (BBU)
8:20 p.m. (AFOSI 29 & 30) Army Sgt. Hubert Vickery and PFC John Ransom on patrol at the AFSWP (Armed Forces Special Weapons Project) nuclear weapons storage site saw a blue-white oblong object about 2 ft x 1 ft in size travel S from 286° to 279° azimuth elevation 5°45′. Other sightings by Army patrols from 8:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. (FOIA)

Hi Ken: I was sky-watching when my attention was immediately drawn to two black spheres that were moving erratically playfully dancing with each other high up in the sky. I was looking through the viewfinder of my Nikon P900 camera, following them across the sky, when I noticed a larger anomalous object that was hovering in place in a fixed position. This object was strange-looking, and it kind of looked like a pie. There was a white layer on top of a black bottom layer, which looked rather odd and was not anything that I had ever seen before. I got the distinct feeling that this main object was somehow controlling the black spheres that just continued to dance around the sky. I swiftly took a photograph capturing this strange pie-shaped object along with the two black spheres. It was quite breezy this particular day, but the pie-shaped object did not move; it just stayed in a fixed position within the sky. I zoomed in, getting a better look at the object, and the white layer seemed to be some sort of textured material that looked like folded-back wings. I was really perplexed by what I was seeing; it looked like this anomalous object had an organic component to it. I went to take a close-up photograph, and my camera instantly drained and shut off. Now this is very unusual, as I know the battery had only just been charged. I quickly ran inside to get another battery, but by the time I had retrieved it and gone back outside, the pie-shaped object along with the black spheres was gone. What on earth did I witness this day? I have never seen an alien craft like this one before. The photograph was taken at 5:27 pm on the 3rd of August 2024, at Newton Abbot, Devon, England. All the best John.
SPECIAL THANKS TO JOHN MOONER ….HE IS THE CHIEF INVESTIGATOR FOR WORLD UFO PHOTOS.
An image of the unidentified object shot down over Canada’s Yukon territory in February 2023 has been obtained by CTVNews.ca.
Released through a Canadian freedom of information request, the grainy image appears to be a photocopy of an email printout.
Heavily redacted documents show how the image was approved for public distribution within days of the headline-grabbing incident, but then held back after a public affairs official expressed concerns that releasing it “may create more questions/confusion.”
A U.S. F-22 fighter jet shot down the object on Feb. 11, 2023, shortly after it entered Canadian airspace in the Yukon territory, which borders Alaska. It was one of three unidentified aerial objects(opens in a new tab) blasted out of the sky that month following the high-profile Feb. 4, 2023 downing of an apparent Chinese surveillance balloon(opens in a new tab). Shot down over Alaska, Yukon and Lake Huron between Feb. 10 and 12, 2023, the three objects were reportedly much smaller than the towering Chinese balloon.
In the documents, the Yukon object is referred to as “UAP 23.” “UAP” typically stands for “unidentified aerial phenomena,” which has largely replaced the terms “UFO” and “unidentified flying object” in official circles. CTVNews.ca previously reported(opens in a new tab) that the Yukon object was the 23rd so-called “UAP” tracked over North America in the first few weeks of last year.
Ronda Moore was working the night shift at a group home in Franklin, North Carolina the night of January 7, 2023. When she stepped outside for a smoke break about 10:15 p.m., she saw “a bright ball moving steadily across the sky.” She was able to snap a few photos which are shown above.
A year earlier, Ronda saw something similar but much more dramatic.
“That was when I saw a UFO moving westward from Balsam Mountain Ridge. I immediately jumped up to get my boss to tell him I was seeing a UFO. As he looked up, the UFO split. A smaller one and then a second small one came out of the original UFO. Then all three continued on the same path and stopped. The first and bigger UFO sent a bright beam of light downward and both little ones zipped straight up and were gone.”
Like many UFO witnesses, Ronda has seen multiple UFOs over the years. On the night of the lunar eclipse in May 2022, she saw “two UFOs zig and zag across the entire sky.” She says “they would come together and then part but stayed close together.”
She’s also seen a UFO take off from land at Yellow Mountain; a triangular UFO over Walmart in Sylva; and another triangular one come out of the water at the Wolf Creek Dam. All of her sightings have been in Jackson County, North Carolina.
While searching an area near the northern polar ice cap of Mars, I discovered a large circular object. The yellow box in the first photo delineates the area where it was found.
The object looked like a parked spacecraft and even cast a shadow on the planet’s surface. It also had a raised center like many spacecraft that have been photographed from Earth. When I zoomed in and used the Google Earth measuring tool, I discovered the craft was 3.58 miles in diameter. The coordinates for the location are: 79°52’20.16”N 166°55’34.15”W

On Tuesday, April 25, 2001, a very strange object is reported by civilians and law enforcement officers in the evening skies near Waynesville, Ohio in Warren County.
From their residence near the 4600 Block of Wilkerson Road, a husband and wife are the first to report a circular lighted object hovering silently in the sky to the south of their location.
The big light of the UFO, pulsating or changing in both color and brightness, was said to be encased within a structure that resembled gridwork or cabling.
The couple advised the Lebanon City Police Department of the object around 10:15 p.m. and the Warren County Communications Center dispatched a Waynesville police officer to the location.
Upon arrival at the scene, the Waynesville officer confirmed the unidentifiable nature of the object and also reported that a second UFO was also in the area.
LOCAL: WHAT IS IT!
Unit #2W30: I have NO IDEA, and you wouldn’t believe it if you came out and saw it! There’s two of them, just sitting stationary and blinking, I mean about five different colors, right here on Wilkerson, just off of South Main Street…
FEMALE OFFICER: This is 480-16
Unit #2W30: I’m not kidding! Go ahead.
FEMALE OFFICER: Okay, we’re on the backside of that, here in the lot because I couldn’t stand it no more. Where is it at, is it in the air?
Unit #2W30: In the air! Okay? He’s got the owner of the house has some binoculars and we’re looking at these things and uh, it’s just I don’t know what they are!
They’re high up, they look like uh, they’re up there but with our binoculars though, the ones he’s got here, you can see them pretty clearly. There’s probably five different colors, there’s two of them and they’ve stayed in the exact same spot the whole time.
They’re not stars, I can tell you that.
As other officers respond to the location and continue to view the abnormalities, dispatchers at the Warren County Communications Center telephone a base operator at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton/Fairborne, Ohio and also places a call to Airborne Express at the Wilmington Airport in Clinton County, Ohio.
Both flight control facilities deny any knowledge of or responsibility for air traffic in the Waynesville, Ohio vicinity during the incident.
While the Waynesville police officers view the object from Wilkerson Road looking south, a police dispatcher also observes the same object from her position at the Warren County Communications Center in Lebanon, Ohio, looking north toward Waynesville. From review of the police tapes, it can be estimated that the primary object may have been in a general location between Waynesville and Lebanon near the intersections of Pekin Road and Route 42.
An officer with the Caesar’s Creek State Police also notes the UFO from his location to the east of Waynesville. A third UFO is sighted in the area during the event, and the police witnesses repeatedly affirm a cogent distinction between the suspected UFOs and routine stars and airplanes. The objects move off by receding further into the distance as other officers from the Ohio State Patrol arrive on the scene.
Dispatchers at the Ohio State Patrol and the Warren County Communications Center express frustration at having to handle this situation and their inability to address the reports and eyewitness confirmation from their officers.
The next evening, Wednesday, April 25, UFOs are again reported in the same area at 9:48 p.m., viewed from Wilkerson Road and also by officers observing from a location near the Waynesville Airport. Disturbingly, another unusual object is seen in the area seven hours later and reportedly pursues a motorist near Genntown, Ohio (about 5-miles from Waynesville).
A female complainant advises the Ohio State Patrol of her ‘extreme concern’ regarding a triangular object with “super bright lights” that pursued her automobile while traveling on Route 122 at 5:00 a.m., April 26.
These and other details were acquired from eyewitness interviews, analysis of various police reports and evaluation of police tapes acquired through the Warren County Director of Emergency Services. Additional data was gathered through field investigation conducted on April 27th and April 28th.
Consideration has been given to the possibility that this situation was engendered by a misperception of routine stars and planets by both civilians and police officers on both evenings. This theory was first advanced by Peter Davenport of the National UFO Reporting Center, who was advised of the incident by the Ohio State Patrol while the sighting was in progress.
The star ‘Sirius’ was identified by Davenport as a likely candidate for misperception, but after sober review of the police tapes acquired from the Warren County Department of Emergency Services, this attempt at explanation is not looked upon favorably. NOTE: The above image is a rendering.
On June 6th at 3:31 I left out on a walk with my dog and we stumbled across a gentleman standing in a field like he was waiting for something. At 3:33 the gentleman spotted me and pointed up and soon as I looked up I seen a cylinder almost cigar shaped vehicle hovering and it turned into a disc very quickly and disappeared. I looked for the gentleman to ask him what was happening and he was also gone out of thin air. My dog bolted out so I went looking for him and he was in a field and that’s when the disc came back but it wasn’t silver it was black this time and it had rings circling it as it flew, it was for a few then it thundered and a the brightest white light I’ve ever seen appeared and it was gone. I had a sensation and a self awareness I’ve never felt before afterwards. I looked at my phone it was sunset 7:47 pm so I had been gone for hours and I can’t recall nor remember what happened. I’m an astrophysicist, Physicist and aerospace engineer so I have seen things of this nature before but nothing like that and I am positive me and that gentleman standing in the field had a thought transference or telepathy experience because I all of sudden ancient physics and ancient Symbolism like I’ve studied it my whole life, I understand life fully after this encounter and my life has been changed forever.
These are two deep space objects that were photographed by astronauts Pete Conrad and Gordon Cooper during NASA’s GEMINI 5 mission which was launched on August 21, 1965 and lasted for nearly eight days. To this day, the objects are complete puzzlements. The first looks like the inside of a broken incandescent light bulb. The second looks like an illuminated donut. This ring UFO looks to be very close the the Gemini module in Earths orbit. Its detail is good enough that we can see that it does have seems in places. The object seems to have an aura around it making some visibility of its edges difficult. As I have said before, one of the three types of material that make up structures and UFOs is a white ceramic like material in appearance. This looks to be one of them.
The Gemini 5 mission was called “The 8 Days Or Bust,” mission. They had to endure life in space for 8 days, which is the time it would take a mission to fly to the moon, land, then come back to Earth. It was a test so that they knew what they needed to do, and how it would effect the astronauts. Later Conrad said that he wished he had brought a book along to help pass the time.
In October of 1917, Francis McHouney of the 302nd Barrage Balloon squadron, US Army Air Corp, tracked and logged several dozen “spurious flying objects [that] were not Boche or one of our guys”. Their unit had Remington Acoustical trackers (large horns that amplified sound waves and were used well into the second World War) and the then top secret Marconi Wireless Aerial Direction Finder (a predecessor of radar). “Me and the boys had moved up and around the assembling area for our next big attack against the Boche. We had heard about the new land battleships that was going to win us the war. Our unit was to put up balloons to keep the Boche from flying over. We had detectors up and manned to give [us] warning if any enemy planes were coming so that the swabbies in the landships could get them under cover”. McHouney continues, “We had heard rumors about fantastic Boche airplanes that seemed to be watching anywhere the landships were. That was why we were there, to keep them away. Our balloons were up, 4 at 500 feet, about 300 feet apart.
Four up at 1000 feet further back in a second line and the final four at 1400 feet, by the book as Capt. Burns would say.” [Ed. the 301st and 303rd were also present, the three units deployed in a semicircle in front of the army assembly area.] “The first time [I] saw them, I was on leave which meant I could go to the rear trenches. Me and a couple of others went to look at the land ships but couldn’t get near them cause of the MPs. We could see ’em across in the field, all covered with branches to hide them. Only branches left for miles, must’ve hauled them up from way back in the rear. Scary looking things, all bristling with guns. Jed [Ed. Jed Wilson, boyhood friend of Mchouney, they joined up together] shouted and pointed up. There was something that looked like a giant mess plate [Ed. A mess plate was a tin plate that looks very similar to a modern pie pan, about 8” in diameter used by US Army soldiers in WWI and WWII] just hanging over the field, directly above one of the landships.
Suddenly, it rose straight up, without making a sound until it faded into the clouds.” When McHouney arrived back to his unit, he found that the Marconis had registered something BEHIND them that just appeared and then disappeared. The Remingtons had detected nothing when hurridly turned around and aimed backwards. Over the course of the next few days, the object appeared and disappeared every few hours, causing a disturbance each time. “We were ordered to close up the spacing of the balloons and move backwards, until after a week the ballons were almost touching. A daredevil could walk around the camp on the balloons if he wanted to. We let them up to 2500 feet and used up darn near all the cables on the front and would’ve gone higher if we could’ve got more” The objects continued to be sighted. McHouney continues “On the 23rd we recieved visitors, Mr Churchill, who invented the land ships [Ed. Churchill was responsible for pushing through the development of the tanks but others are credited with the invention] and a Mr Wells who was introduced as a scientific advisor to the Ministry, and some others.
They set up a couple of cameras but rumor was all the pictures came out black, as if the plates were exposed to light accidently.” Later, “We were all questioned about what we had seen and the log books off the Remingtons and the Marconis were taken. They told us not to talk about this to anyone, but the Boche had a new super Zepplin and we were seeing the observation car hanging down from it. We all accepted this but years later, I came to doubt it. What we saw was BIG and it would’ve taken a very big Zepplin to carry it.” [From “Boche and Balloons, My Experiences With The 302nd”, Francis McHouney, published 53/04/01 by Smythe Books, London, England] Curiously, no record of these incidents appears in official unit records of the US Army Air Corp and the last surviving member [Walter “Smitty” Smith, 301st] of the 301st, 302nd, and 303rd, died on April 1, 1968 of cancer in the Pembrooke VA Hospital in North Carolina.

The case was first reported to Peter Davenport of the National UFO Reporting Center. Peter and WA MUFON Director of Investigations have now interviewed three witnesses. I contacted Robert A. Fairfax and asked if he had some more details on the elk abduction by a UFO on February 25, 1999. Fairfax writes, “We are currently arranging interviews with more witnesses.” Filer asked, “I’m particularly interested in the description of the craft itself? Fairfax answered, “So am I; this is one of the areas we will try to nail. So many people just have the hardest time describing or drawing what they have seen. There were two flashes described as the craft wobbled. A fluorescent magenta (top) and a white (bottom). These were apparently not lights but seemed to be areas on the surface. These were seen intermittently but again we will need to pin the details down along with many others.” Filer, “What was the direction of flight and the last known direction of travel.” Fairfax answered, “It was first seen in the SE traveling toward the NNW. It departed slowly to the NE, and then made near vertical ascent into cloud cover.” Filer asked, “Was there any insignia on the craft?”
Fairfax responded that none was reported. Filer asks: “Did they notice any kind of a plasma, lighting, or electrical effects around the craft?” Fairfax answered, “Possibly, the two bright color areas. The craft seemed in increase in size as it was capturing the elk. We’re trying to clarify that.” Filer asked, Did the craft tilt as it changed direction? Fairfax stated, “Wobbling was reported that was more pronounced before direction changes, but we need to verify with more witnesses.” Filer asked, “Did they notice a hum or whine sound?” Fairfax indicated, “There was no sound.” I suggested,” The sound would likely occur as the craft attempted to climb with the elk.” Fairfax felt that distance may have to be factored in for low sound level. I suggested that, “The wobbling infers the craft did not have a particularly powerful propulsion system and may not be an interplanetary craft.” Fairfax responds, “Probably, but larger craft have been reported wobbling in a similar manner.
It may have to do with shape/size and function — probably does — but this is surmise.” Filer, “Did you notice the height of the trees or the approximate height and distance from picking up the elk to the top the trees?” Fairfax, “Yes, but no precise calculations have been done. It had plenty of room to maneuver and climb, see illustration on NUFORC site of UFO path.” Filer, “Of course its possible the craft had plenty of power, but that it was flown too close to the trees” Fairfax: “This may have been an “unmanned” (unaliened?) remote that had less smarts.” Filer, “Did they notice any windows?” Fairfax, “There were no windows.” I asked, “Is it possible the craft came from a base some where in the vicinity and have there been other sightings?” Fairfax responded, “Anything is possible, however this is a remote area and so far we have not uncovered further reports of activity in this vicinity.” Filer stated, “Many witnesses describe UFOs entering and leaving mountainous terrain in Northern California. I have read similar reports in the St. Helen’s area.” Fairfax responds, “Yes, we have reports from the general Mt. St. Helen’s area. Remember, a large mountain and surroundings covers quite a bit of territory.
(Due to constraints by the company, we are not to release the exact coordinates and location of the incident.) I would suspect an area north of me — Granite Falls area — as a base site. There are reports of all kinds — from Indian legends to present. No specific activity that would indicate a base in either case.” Filer asks, “I have also noticed a silvery powder, possibly sand or glass like near the bodies of some dead animals. Did you happen to notice any white or silvery powder when you found the elk on the ground?” Fairfax said, “None was seen.” Filer, “Do you know if the elk had its blood drained or heated to a powdery form?” Fairfax responds, “We were not able (because of imposed constraints which I cannot go into) to cut into and examine the insides of the elk. There were no exterior signs of mutilation; no black light fluorescence found on hair samples. The only possible indicator was the fact that the elk had been lying there in the open for 5 days and there was no predation or scavenging. Also, the dog ticks had not left the body nor did they show movement when touched — we presumed they were dead also. We have been told that when an animal dies, the ticks leave the ‘sinking ship.’ Thanks to Bob Fairfax for this e-mail interview and Peter Davenport for the original report. Editors Note: Apparently, the abduction of a thousand pound elk occurred on a large piece of privately owned land. The company wants the exact location, and their name kept confidential.
UFO sightings often come in bunches, like southeast Michigan in 1966. After a few days of sighting reports by civilians, on March 17 two Washtenaw County Sheriff’s deputies, Sgt. Neil Schneider and Deputy David Fitzpatrick, said they saw three or four red, white and green circular objects oscillating and glowing near Milan about 4 a.m. They called Willow Run Airport officials, but radar could not confirm the report. Two more Washtenaw deputies, Buford Bushroe and John Foster, chased the same types of objects three days later. Livingston and Monroe County residents also reported seeing the objects. The Detroit News carried the police chase story and a drawing of a quilted football-like UFO with lights, dome and antennae. When Dexter Patrolman Robert Huniwell saw the object at 9:30 p.m. at Quigly and Brand, Washtenaw County Sheriff Douglas Harvey ordered all available deputies to the scene. Six patrol cars, two men in each, and three detectives converged on the area. They chased the flying object along Island Lake Road without catching it.
Farm owner Frank Mannor and his family said they came within 500 yards, “It wasn’t like the pictures of a flying saucer and it had a coral-like surface,” Mannor said. Carloads of students from nearby University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan converged on the area after hearing radio reports. The Air Force sent in “Project Blue Book” astronomer and UFO expert J. Allen Hynek, who drove around for two hours and 45 minutes. “Swamp gas” he concluded. “Marsh gas usually has no smell, but sounds like the small popping explosions similar to a gas burner igniting. The gas forms from decomposition of vegetation. It seems likely that as the present spring thaws came, the gases methane, hydrogen sulfide and phosphine, resulting from decomposition of organic materials, were released.” But William Van Horn, a local civil defense director and pilot who claimed he had seen the UFOs, was outraged by the report. A Hillsdale native, Van Horn said he grew up next to a swamp and knew more about swamp gas than Hynek. “A lot of good people are being ridiculed,” Van Horn concluded. Each day, Michigan at the Millenium takes a look at the people, events and ideas that have shaped our world. NOTE: The above image is real but from a San Diego case file. At the time, Allen Hynek was supposed to debunk all UFO sightings for Project Blue Book. He finally became a believer after many sightings researched proving to be possible alien craft.
Hi Ken: It was a warm sunny day and I was at the Teign Estuary photographing the area for any further anomalies while soaking up the sun when suddenly I heard a helicopter. I looked across the Estuary where I saw the red Devon air ambulance helicopter, so I immediately zoomed in with my Nikon P900 camera and started to take photographs. While in the process of doing so, a translucent anomalous sphere object flew directly under the helicopter’s skids. I managed to capture the sphere object in a single photograph just before it flew off and disappeared from sight. The Air ambulance had been very far away from my location right across the other side of the Estuary and when I took the photograph, I could see heat haze and some distortion, but the translucent anomalous sphere object could still be seen directly underneath the air ambulance. As I have stated many times in previous reports, I always see these objects near aircraft, no matter where I am in Devon. The photograph was taken at 5:49 PM on the 16th of June 2023, at the Teign Estuary Devon England. All the best John.
Testimonies of primary witnesses have been obtained. On December 27, 1998, at about 3:00 PM, the Laubscher family observed between 8 to 10 objects moving rapidly in a northerly direction over Graaf-Reinet. This is a small town situated some 260 km north of Port Elizabeth. Mr. Laubscher managed to capture a few minutes of this incident on video. The objects appeared somewhat roundish triangular and seemed to move in a group. Occasionally one or two would stop and the others would circle around. This motion repeated itself a few times. While moving the objects were shinny gold in color but when stationary appeared to switch to red and then to blue. The size of these objects was judged to be roughly 4 to 5 times that of a Boeing aircraft at the same altitude. The group had been in view for a few seconds when another much larger object traveling at very high speed in the same flight path proceeded in a northerly direction through and past the group. The larger object appeared gold in color and was basically spherical. It traveled at a constant speed and did not change color. Its size was estimated to be roughly 8 times that of a Boeing at the same altitude. The group of smaller objects then followed the larger sphere and they all disappeared behind some high clouds near the horizon. These clouds were roughly 2,000 feet. There was no visible residue or jet stream and no noise. NOTE: The above image is real and from Cairo Africa in 5-10-21
An unidentified flying object sighted in the Angus skies near Carnoustie this morning has left a number of people mystified. One Carnoustie resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, said he had been fairly sceptical about such things, but wanted an explanation for what he saw. He and several members of his family, along with a Forfar couple, saw a strange red disc moving about the sky between 6.30am and 6.55am this morning. Neither the Coastguard nor members of staff at RAF Leuchars could shed any light on the sighting. The man said that the object, which moved about the sky, was “like nothing I’ve ever seen before except on the film Armageddon”. “I was out walking the dog with my wife and child near the black slab car park this morning,” he said. “We saw this red oblong shape in the sky, and it couldn’t have been the moon or the sun because of the way it was moving. It then just disappeared.
“A car drew up and the man inside asked us if we’d seen it and we said yes. “Distressed” “The man in the car said he was from Forfar and had seen the light earlier, and we could see he was visibly distressed.” The family continued their walk along the beach and the object reappeared at about 6.55am. “I’m neither a believer nor a non-believer in UFOs, but this time it had changed from bright red to orange, and it was much bigger,” he continued. “Anybody looking at the sky would have seen it – it was that big you couldn’t miss it.” A member of the Fife Coastguard said there had been no reports of flares or other lights. “It’s been fairly misty this morning, and there is no meteorite activity as far as I know,” he said. A spokesman at RAF Leuchars discounted any official aerial activity by personnel from the Fife airbase. “I know of no operations in the area by any of our flights,” he said. So it seems the strange red object will have to remain a mystery for the time being. NOTE: The above image is CGI.
A round platinum-like object flying at 7:30 PM on February 3, 1999. The UFO was flying just above the houses at approximately 30 mph. It had a dome with a bright flashing light on top. A rim extended from the body and above the rim. There were smaller lights and the object was flat on the bottom. It flew with the front part tilted slightly higher that the back. The closest the object came to the witness was about 200 feet based on the width of the road. She felt the height of the abject was 90 feet or less based on the height of the tower at the Falls Shopping center, and the height of a red balloon tethered to an apartment complex. Dr. H. followed the object heading north in her car for about ten minutes. Although, her window was down she could hear no sound. The object appeared larger than a car. Upon returning home she summoned her son. From their upstairs window they saw a bright light moving slowly toward the north. Margaret Zimmer made an excellent drawing of the craft.
It appears to be similar to the type photographed over Gulf Breeze, Florida. Dr. H felt awe and elation at seeing the craft. She contacted the FAA, police, Channel 10 and 23 in Miami. The FAA suggested she call the National UFO Reporting Center and Good Year Blimp in Pompano. No blimps were flying that night. Thanks to Peter Davenport’s National UFO Reporting Center for his notification and to Margaret Zimmer. Editors Note: The witnesses seem of high quality and took responsible action to find an explanation for their sighting. NOTE: The above image is CGI.
On March 6, 1994, an Alabama Air National Guard F-4 exploded in mid-flight over Heard County, Georgia. A Heard County fireman, Bill Thompson who is not related to John said, “Two minutes before the explosion and crash of the F-4, he saw the F-4 chasing a missile- like or cigar-shaped UFO.” Bill’s description was that the gray or silver colored UFO was about “a third to half the size of the F-4” chasing it. This, of course, suggests a UFO of the same type and size that the California VMFA-212 pilot almost collided with in 1995. Relating to the ANG explosion, in which the pilot died, the Air Force said the mishap was caused by bad welds. These inadequate welds, according to the Air Force’s official crash report, originated with the plane’s number one engine (GEOO420459).
The failure of the welds, according to the USAF was the sole reason for the upper combustion case failure that subsequently caused the F-4 to explode in mid- flight. A General Electric engineer who subsequently investigated the crash, because of a law suit against General Electric, the manufacturer of the plane’s engines, said that he thought the pilot had over-stressed the F-4, causing it to tear apart and explode. Of course, if the F-4 was chasing or suddenly encountered a small thin cigar-shaped UFO, as Fireman Bill Thompson claims, its pilot might over-stress his plane in his excitement.

First let me say that my husband & I are college-educated, professional people, both working for, (what was then) Bell Laboratories. We were sober, and quite alert – we had our 2 yr. old daughter wth us, coming home from visiting friends. The whole occurrence so astounded us, we called the Army, Navy, Air Force, police & a UFO Research facility in Illinois. We called the friends we had visited, we drew pictures of what we saw immediately upon entering our home. My husband thinks that what we encountered was possibly new, secret technology. After speaking with a number of research scientists and engineers at Ma Bell, I tend to agree with them: we haven’t yet cultivated or harnessed enough energy/magnetic power… But I jump ahead…My husband & I were travelling north on Rte. 206, heading home. It was a clear, starry August sky and I noticed a particularly bright, large, “star” in the sky straight ahead.
I pointed it out to him (he was driving). As I did, I noticed it was moving due west. It was an odd, yellowish color & stood out as being different from the stars & planets. We chalked it up as being an airplane – but I couldn’t stop checking it out. At the light in Chester, we turned left, heading west to our town, Long Valley, on Rte. 24. I lost sight of it with the trees. But as we approached the edge of the valley, there is a long hill going down into it. At this point, I saw it again, still out with the stars but bigger and moving faster, it seemed to go the speed of the car. As we reached the crest of the hill, it came TOWARDS us. The light got bigger & bigger, so big that my husband thought we were about to get hit, head-on. He swerved off to the side of the road. At this point, “the light” seemed to slow down, and we could see that it was tilting up above us and that it was actually 2 large circular lights – side-by-side. We jumped out of the car (curiously no one else was driving on the road, but with my 2 yr. old in the car seat, I didn’t want to leave the car).
My husband proceeded to walk (backwards)from the car down the middle of the road, staring up at this HUGE aircraft directly above us. It had a smooth, white surface, with blue, green & red rectangular lights along the perimeter of its underside. The lights dimmed as it hovered overhead. It was shaped like a stingray, with wide, rounded wings and a bobbed backend. It seemed as comfortable in the sky as a fish in water, like it was swimming. The “nose” (where the two big lights were) wasn’t white, but appeared to be glass. It was moving no faster than he was walking, so it “hovered” just above him. We were in awe – but spoke to each other the whole time. We discussed its parameters, using the aforementioned descriptions so we’d agree, outloud, of what we saw. We calculated that the nose could hold about 50-100 people. The wingspan was 3 football fields in length. It made a very low, quiet hum and seemed to be just above the trees. We agreed that we could throw a stone up and hit it.
(We didn’t, however, neither of us wanted to look away) It was mesmerizing in that it was travelling so low to the ground with no wind, and barely any sound. We decided to wave a friendly hello, figuring that whoever was IN it, was watching us too (we were feeling more comfortable: we reasoned that there were no markings on it, it was so amazingly advanced and quite simply, beautiful to watch. My husband didn’t appreciate my humor when I yelled “Beam us up, Scottie!” He was still tentative about being under the thing…) My daughter woke up in the car with my yell and said, “Mommy, whatcha doing?” “Watchin’ a spaceship”, I said, without diverting my eyes. We figured our conversation lasted about 3 minutes as this craft stayed above my husband – he was quite far from the car. We couldn’t calculate the width of it until this point: I noticed headlights in the corner of my eye, a car was coming. I yelled to my husband to get out of the road. He came running toward the car & this aircraft slowly turned to the south and then, in two blinks of an eye, took off. No sound, no wind.
Gone. A car came flying by, seemingly ablivious to what had happened. So, we drove home, checked the time, didn’t lose any. Drew pictures, discussed it, called our friends (who told us we left our camera at their house!) and they suggested we make the calls to any authorities. Needless to say, everyone laughed except the local police who said that Long Valley was a “high activity area” for that kind of thing. When I went to work, I told everybody! My husband didn’t tell a soul – after all, with working at Bell Labs, he reasoned, these people are the country’s top brains – they’ll think I’m nuts. Not me. I was SO amazed, I decided I had to find out anything I could on aircraft power. Three days later a group of research engineers came to my office because they’d overheard my story (through the grapevine). They took notes, asked questions and told me that the ONLY kind of power that could fly an aircraft that low, with no wind or sound would be through magnetic energy. To that date, in 1982, scientists had only been able to harness enough magnetic energy to fly a one-man hover craft, at 60 mph, about 100 miles max with NO capabilities for stopping on a dime and turning directions.
I’ve read some since then, regarding magnetic power, and Canadian scientists seem to be continuing research…they had hoped to sell one-man hover crafts by 1995!! Still don’t know what we saw – was it a government project? I asked these scientists. They shook their heads, chuckled and said THEY work on government projects and there’s just no way that kind of technology exists – yet. They said we were no way near figuring how to harness that amount of power – for that huge a craft. We were babes in the woods. What do you think? Know where I can read more on magnetic power?

Hi Ken: I was at the Teign Estuary investigating the area once again. For some reason, there has been a lot of UFO activity within this vicinity of the Estuary just lately. On each visit, I have managed to capture something anomalous within this area. I was watching the sky above the Estuary when I spotted an anomalous object that appeared to be saucer-shaped. I immediately took a photograph of it while it was hovering at a slight tilt before it moved off to the right and I swiftly took another photograph. The second photograph shows the bottom of the craft and it appeared to have a rectangular hatch in the middle section of the craft. There was no sound and everything seemed to go quiet within the area until it was gone. These anomalous crafts are very hard to capture and the photographs do not do it justice.
I had looked at it briefly with binoculars and it was saucer-shaped with a very reflective dome on the top portion of the craft. There were no visible wings or propulsion which is a common observation when sighting these anomalous craft. This thing was very far away and very difficult to photograph, but fortunately, I managed to capture it within two photographs with my Nikon P900 camera before it flew up into the atmosphere and eventually disappeared from view. I capture these anomalous craft on a regular basis around this area where I have seen and captured them flying in and out of the water. The photographs were taken at 6:55 PM on the 6th of September 2023, at the Teign Estuary, Devon, England. All the best John.
Five UFOs were sighted on February 10, 1999, at around 7:15 PM. The witnesses stated: “My two teenage children and myself were driving on a two-lane back road that goes past the Federal Reformatory.” Approximately 20 feet above the tree line, we sighted a lighted object hovering above the trees. It was encircled in white pulsing, rotating lights, with a single larger light on the bottom. Suddenly, four other smaller lighted objects lined up in a line beside the larger one. As we turned a curve and our car beams shone in that direction, the smaller objects suddenly disappeared one by one. Then the larger object moved about 1/2 mile distance in about three seconds. First, it was above the trees, then momentarily it was on the other side of the reformatory. We watched for four minutes. They made no noise. The areas that surround the prison are flat lands (Ft. Lee Military Base). On one side is the Appomattox River and on the other is Route 295. We often observe military planes, including experimental aircraft. However these did not look similar.
