UFO SIGHTING REPORTS
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Ever since 1947, when a private pilot flying over the state of Washington
|
|
reported seeing nine crecscent shaped objects flying in formation, the UFO
|
|
(Unidentified Flying Object) phenomenon has been one of the greatest mysteries
|
|
of our time.
|
|
|
|
Most people are aware of the basic questions and controversies surrounding
|
|
UFOs, namely, where are they from? Do they even exist? If not, why are they
|
|
reported? What many are not aware of, however, is the extent of the
|
|
phenomenon. According to the latest available Gallup poll, 49% of Americans
|
|
believe flying saucers are from outer space, and 1 in 10 believes he or she has
|
|
seen one. Many people are surprised to learn that the number of reports since
|
|
1947 exceeds 112,000 in this country alone, and that reports are still coming
|
|
in at the rate of 300-400 a year.
|
|
|
|
This file contains data collected from several organizations which gather
|
|
and analyze UFO sighting reports. One of these is the UFO Information
|
|
Service, a computer database in Seattle, WA, which regularly posts the latest
|
|
sightings on a public bulletin board system. Another is the National UFO
|
|
Reporting Center, also in Seattle, which collects reports through a telephone
|
|
hotline known to most police stations and military bases. A third is
|
|
ParaNet, which emphasizes the need for more thorough scientific investigation
|
|
of the UFO phenomena, and has devised the rating system by which sighting
|
|
reports are classified here according to "Strangeness" (the degree to which
|
|
each reported phenomenon challenges our world view) and "Probablity"
|
|
(a subjective estimate of the credibility of each sighting report).
|
|
|
|
STRANGENESS/PROBABILITY RATINGS
|
|
|
|
At the bottom of each sighting report you will see ratings which assess the
|
|
case in terms of Strangeness and Probability on a five-point scale as
|
|
outlined below. This rating system is used by the ParaNet BBS network of the
|
|
NFSIS to help quantify the credibility of sighting reports, and the challenge
|
|
they present to our world view.
|
|
|
|
The ratings are appended to reports received from other sources, including the
|
|
Computer UFO Network (CUFON), but the Strangeness/Probability ratings are NOT
|
|
generated by CUFON, which as a matter of policy does not speculate.
|
|
|
|
S: Strangeness
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The "Strangeness" factor of a case description is rated from 1 to 5 as follows:
|
|
|
|
1 - Explained or Explainable
|
|
2 - Probably Explainable, with more data
|
|
3 - Possibly Explainable, but with elements of strangeness
|
|
4 - Strange; Does not conform with known principles
|
|
5 - Highly Strange; Definitely indicative of intelligent guidance
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
S1 - Aircraft, meteor, etc.
|
|
S2 - Experimental aircraft; planet or star
|
|
S3 - Slow, low flying objects in formation
|
|
S4 - BOL (Ball of Light Phenomena); physical traces
|
|
S5 - Close Encounters, Abductions, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
P: Probability
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The "Probability" factor of a case relates to the credibility, number and
|
|
separation of witnesses and/or the soundness of evidence gathered. It is rated
|
|
from 1 to 5 as follows:
|
|
|
|
1 - Not credible or sound
|
|
2 - Unreliable; smacks of hoax
|
|
3 - Somewhat credible or indeterminate
|
|
4 - Credible; sound
|
|
5 - Highly credible, leaving almost no doubt
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
P1 - Known hoaxer or UFO "Flake"; hoax photo
|
|
P2 - Repeat witness; conflicting testimony
|
|
P3 - Standard, first-time witness; slight radiation reading
|
|
P4 - Multiple witnesses; pilot; clear photo
|
|
P5 - National figure; multiple independent witnesses; videotape
|
|
|
|
The composite Strangeness/Probability Rating of a case consists of the combined
|
|
S & P factors, except that cases with an S factor of 1 are not assigned a P
|
|
rating.
|
|
|
|
SIGHTING CLASSIFICATIONS
|
|
|
|
Each report is also classified by the type of sighting, whether Close
|
|
Encounter (CE), Nocturnal Light (NL), Radar Visual (RV), etc.
|
|
|
|
The following are the classifications of the various types of UFO reports
|
|
according to proximity and activity, as suggested by J. Allen Hynek and
|
|
implemented by the Computer UFO Network. They are not to be confused with the
|
|
ParaNet S/P rating, which is a subjective estimation of the "worth" of
|
|
a sighting report.
|
|
|
|
o LONG RANGE SIGHTINGS (more than 500 ft distance from the object)
|
|
|
|
- LRS-DD: Daylight Disk
|
|
- LRS-NL: Nocturnal Lights
|
|
- LRS-RV: Radar/Visual
|
|
|
|
o CLOSE ENCOUNTERS (within 500 ft distance from the object)
|
|
|
|
- First Kind (CE-1): Simple sighting of object
|
|
- Second Kind (CE-2): Object interacts with environment (includes
|
|
electromagnetic effects, ground traces, radiation, animal excitement)
|
|
- Third Kind (CE-3): Witness sights occupant(s) in or around object
|
|
- Fourth Kind (CE-4): Occupants communicate with witness in some manner
|
|
- Fifth Kind (CE-5): Abduction of witness
|
|
|
|
The remainder of this file contains representative UFO sighting reports
|
|
organized acording to the above-described ParaNet Strangeness scale, starting
|
|
with a few explained or explainable reports with Strangeness ratings of 1 (for
|
|
illustration) and progressing to Strangeness ratings of 5 - "Highly Strange;
|
|
Definitely indicative of intelligent guidance".

A red glowing light with a tail that flared across the sky in the southeast
|
|
prompted searches in several states for traces of a possible meteor or other
|
|
space object, but no remants have been found, authorities said Tuesday.
|
|
|
|
The flashing light was spotted about sunset Monday over parts of Tennessee,
|
|
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi as it streaked westward, and aviation
|
|
officials said it was probably a meteor.
|
|
|
|
Maj. Walter Chipchase, a spokesman for the North American Air Defense Command,
|
|
said the light was not believe to be a disintegrating rocket or satellite.
|
|
"NORAD did not detect any rocket body or space debris re-entering the
|
|
atmosphere," he said.
|
|
|
|
Sgt. Ray Williams, a spokesman for Eglin Air Force Base in Fort Walton, Beach,
|
|
Fla., also said no weather balloons or flights were launched from the base at
|
|
the time the light was seen.
|
|
|
|
Although authorities said the object likely burned in the atmosphere hundreds
|
|
of miles from Earth, some local officials looked for fragments in fields and
|
|
other areas where residents reported sightings.
|
|
|
|
Joe Keltch, a deputy with the Rhea County Sheriff's Department in East
|
|
Tennessee, said he scoured an area near Graysville where a caller told
|
|
authorities something had fallen out of the sky.
|
|
|
|
"We got a report that it might have been a piece of a plane," he said. "We
|
|
looked around and didn't find anything."

Fireball Not Man-Made, Experts Say
|
|
|
|
Defense experts Tuesday eliminated "space junk or any man-made object" as an
|
|
explanation for a mysterious meteoric fireball that streaked across the Pacific
|
|
Coast.
|
|
|
|
The object, sighted at 8:22 p.m. (CST) Monday, dazzled stargazers from the
|
|
California-Oregon border to the Los Angeles area.
|
|
|
|
"It looked like a long, green meteor but it lasted way too long, arcing across
|
|
the sky toward the ocean, then it just blew up," Roy Jackson of Mountain View,
|
|
Cal., said.
|
|
|
|
"It wasn't space junk or any man-made object re-entering the atmosphere, and we
|
|
don't track meteors," Del Kindschi of the North American Aerospace Defense
|
|
Command at Denver said. "We heard about it but there weren't any satellites or
|
|
man-made space objects entering the atmosphere at that time." (UPI)

A witness who was awakened by a severe headache, went to her kitchen for some
|
|
aspirin. She looked out the window and observed a lighted UFO. She told
|
|
reporters that she noticed that the object was moving all over, not like the
|
|
stars in the sky which were not moving about. She thought that she might be
|
|
seeing a star, but after watching for quite a length of time, she decided that
|
|
this definately was no star, aircraft, or planetary body.

A witness reported observing a bright green light descending from an
|
|
approximate elevation of 60 d to about 30 d, directly in front of him. The
|
|
light did not seem to leave a trail, and did not flicker or vascillate in any
|
|
way. It took about 3 seconds to cover the distance. At the 30 d position it
|
|
just disappeared behind a cloud. Weather conditions were scattered low clouds,
|
|
and about 45 d f. The witness said the speed and the size did not seem to
|
|
correlate with a meteor. The witness said he checked with Lowell Observatory in
|
|
Flagstaff, AZ, about 75 miles north, and no meteors had been reported. The
|
|
International Center For UFO Research in Scottsdale, AZ, had several recent
|

about the one o'clock position from his car.
|

It descended to about 35 degrees, vertically with a very slight horizontal
|

I am in question as to a phenomenon I observed about three weeks ago. It was
|
|
about 8:30 pm and looking out my window, I noticed a white light in the sky. I
|
|
watched for several minutes as the lights grew dim, and brightened again. It
|
|
did this about 4 - 5 times per-minute. I got a small 30 - power telescope that
|
|
I had gotten from a friend, and watch the object for about two more minutes.
|
|
|
|
As I watched, the lights continued to brighten and dim. When bright, it looked
|
|
somewhat like viewing a spotlight from a distance of 20 yards. When it dimmed
|
|
down, I could see no shape, but only a speck that looked like a dying ember.
|
|
During the whole time, the object hovered, absolutely motionless. after about
|
|
three minutes it began to move across the sky at high speed, although from that
|
|
distance, my perception may have been fooled. However, it must have been moving
|
|
fairly rapidly, as it moved from the position it was to the southeast across
|
|
the sky and disappeared over the horizon. Yet it moved that distance in 30
|
|
seconds. I connot estimate how far the UFO was from me, but it seemed to be no
|
|
more than 4 - 5 miles, however, as I said, I could not accurately judge the
|
|
distance, but it had the appearance of being that distance. I watch for it the
|
|
following night, but it appeared nowhere. I cannot say what it was.

A witness was driving south on N.C. 226 near her home in Shelby Sunday night
|
|
when she had a close encounter with a perfectly round orange object hovering in
|
|
the sky.
|
|
|
|
As the witness kept driving, she said the object grew larger and the orange
|
|
light it was emitting intensified and began blinking. She was scared and
|
|
thought it was going to land in her front yard.
|
|
|
|
She said it didn't land but disappeared just as she was pulling up to her
|
|
house. She said when the object disappeared, it left a "trail of smoke."
|
|
|
|
County Sheriffs Department said three other people called, all within 15
|
|
minutes of each other, to report a bright light traveling west to east.
|
|
|
|
The Sheriff's department contacted the Federal Aviation Administration in
|
|
Charlotte, which reported no unusual flight experiments over the area or planes
|
|
in distress.
|
|
|
|
The witness said she didn't think the object she saw was a plane. At first, she
|
|
said she thought it might have been a blinking light on top of a tower. But as
|
|
it grew in size and intensity. she could tell that it wasn't.

the object at about 7:40 p.m. He was driving north on Cheshire Road with his
|
|
mother when he saw a low-flying diamond-shaped object directly above the road
|
|
ahead of his car. The witness said there were two white lights on the object
|
|
that were so bright they lit up the leaves on the nearby trees. It appeared to
|
|
be about 1,500 feet in the air and about a few thousand feet away. The object
|
|
made two sharp turns, one in an easterly direction over a field, then another
|
|
sharp turn toward his car. The witness said that he turned off his headlights,
|
|
and the object's two bright white lights came back on. they had gone out
|
|
before.
|

when a super-fast object passed directly overhead, traveling from south to

north in a straight line. It was shaped something like an airplane but more
|
|
like a "t" and colored between yellow and orange. It actually glowed but didn't

leave a tail like the meteors (I saw only three in two nights of watching). The

Widsom rancher Larry Seare and his wife Norell reported seeing eight or nine
|
|
separate lights in a staggered formation flying at about 100 miles per hour in
|
|
a northerly direction over the valley toword the West Pioneer Mountains. The
|
|
witnesses said they were not helicopters nor jets performing night maneuvers.
|
|
He said he could see no body shapes of any type. The lights were in different
|
|
patterns in a staggered line. He said far behind the others was a single
|
|
bright reddish colored light. Some of them flashed at different intervals and
|
|
some of the smaller lights in the front stayed off more than the bigger ones.
|
|
He said it was really kind of odd they didn't blink in the same pattern that
|
|
wing tip lights do. He called the Butte/Silver Bow police. Meanwhile, another
|
|
witness reported seeing a "V" formation of lights in the Timber Butte area.
|
|
|
|
A Lorraine McIntee said she saw six lights in the first group and three
|
|
trailing further behind. They came from over the Timber Butte area and went
|
|
over the airport and disappeared in to a cloud bank. Officials at Malstrom Air
|
|
Force Base in Great falls said they picked up nothing unusual on their radar
|
|
and knew of no night maneuvers over Southwestern Montana.
|
|
|
|
All witnesses said there were no sounds coming from the lights. Also all the
|
|
witnesses turned off their cars and rolled down their windows and didn't even
|
|
breathe. Witnesses said if it would have been airplanes or jets or helicopters
|
|
there would have been some sound.

The witness said while driving home to DeForest St. shortly after 5 pm Friday,

20 to 30 feet above a farmhouse.

At first I thought it was an airplane, then I thought it was a helicopter, and

|
then I realized I didn't know what it was. The witness said: The craft was

roughly triangular, with its bottom sloped into contours. He said: It was

Mystery lights return to Saratoga
|
|
|
|
By Kathy Holub
|
|
Mercury News Staff Writer
|
|
|
|
A beautiful apparition has been glowing in the night sky over Saratoga, leaving
|
|
viewers baffled and entranced.
|
|
|
|
About 15 people, all agog, called Santa Clara County dispatchers on Tuesday
|
|
night to report a mysterious bright red light that hovered in the sky from 8:15
|
|
to 8:30 and then disappeared.
|
|
|
|
Dozens of callers described a similar phenomenon on Oct. 16, same time, same
|
|
place.
|
|
|
|
"It was very exciting," said Maureen Denton of Los Gatos, who watched last
|
|
week's display during a break in her real estate class at West Valley College.
|
|
|
|
"It was very bright, much larger than the lights you see on airplanes. At one
|
|
point, something burning or flickering dropped from it. It was just a tiny
|
|
little flicker that came down. We all went: `Oooh, what was that?'"
|
|
|
|
No one seems to know.
|
|
|
|
That includes Vicki Yauger of Saratoga, who spied the object Tuesday night
|
|
while lounging with her husband in thier backyard spa.
|
|
|
|
Yauger said the light appeared high in the northwestern sky, first moving
|
|
toward them, then away.
|
|
|
|
Through her binoculars, the apparition became a cluster of lights.
|
|
|
|
"It was scary. When it started getting larger, it seemed to be coming down,"
|
|
she said.
|
|
|
|
Yauger didn't see the object fade from view because she had just gone into the
|
|
house. Her husband told her the light turned green and slowly disappeared.
|
|
|
|
Spokesmen at Moffett Field Naval Air Station said nothing flew out of their
|
|
airfield Tuesday that looked like that. And officials at Vandenberg Air Force
|
|
Base in Lompoc said they didn't launch a thing Tuesday night. Ditto for Oct.
|
|
15.
|
|
|
|
Other watchers of the night sky - air traffic controllers and astronomers at
|
|
Lick Observatory - said they saw nothing unusual.

Nassau County police said last night, the unidentified object moving across the
|
|
evening skies was a blimp.
|
|
|
|
But then again, the Federal Aviation Administration and the Port Authority
|
|
police said it was a prank by small planes flying in formation.
|
|
|
|
More than two dozen Nassau residents phoned Newsday last night to report a
|
|
strange, silent object with blinking lights crossing north by northeast over
|
|
Valley Stream, West Hempstead, Garden City, New Hyde Park, Westbury and Port
|
|
Washington. One witness reported that she and her husband were in Manhasset
|
|
about 8:30 p.m. when they saw an object like a kite....moving slowly through
|
|
the sky.
|
|
|
|
There were white and red lights flashing on and off. It was a seven-dot
|
|
configuration. Then it changed from a triangular shape to an oval shape.
|
|
|
|
It was quite large. It was low enough so that If it was a plane, you would
|
|
have heard the motor.
|
|
|
|
After South Shore precincts received more than 50 telephone queries a car was
|
|
dispatched to the Hempstead area about 8:45 p.m. Officers Paul Scheibelein and
|
|
Robert Schiller of the Fifth Precinct identified the object as a blimp.
|
|
|
|
They said they could see the oval shape and identify the runing lights.
|
|
|
|
Port Authority police and the FAA said the UFO was probably four or five small
|
|
planes flying in formation.
|
|
|
|
Subsequent investigation has turned up no authorized airship activity in the
|
|
area in question.

report of a UFO sighting that took place at Gighorbor, which is in the State of
|
|
Wash.
|
|
|
|
Three Witnesses reported observing a UFO Unidentified Flying Object. They
|
|
Stated that they first noticed the object hovering over some houses.
|
|
|
|
The witnesses said the UFO or object was oval shaped and said the color of the
|
|
object was blue. They stated when the UFO left the area it went straight up and
|
|
out of sight from them. They also stated that there was "no sequel to any
|
|
movement that the object made". This could be the same object that was reported
|
|
in Arnold City, PA case number CFN#:0333 because the object in both cases was
|
|
oval shaped and in both cases the object was blue. Interesting also is the
|
|
duration in both cases of 3 minutes.

A local air-traffic controller and a police helicopter pilot reportedly tracked
|
|
about 60 unidentified aircraft over Tucson Monday, but federal author- ities
|
|
are not investigating. Tucson International Airport radar picked up the
|
|
aircraft at 12:15 a.m. Monday. Radar monitored the objects for about 90 min.
|
|
The radar picked them up southwest of the city, near Ryan Field, and lost them
|
|
as they flew northeasterly through Redington Pass. The controller reported that
|
|
15 groups of four to six objects each were monitored on the radar. the UFOs
|
|
were travelling at about 250 knots, or 288 mph. The tower called the police
|
|
pilot on duty and said that they had some targets but no transponders. The
|
|
transponders are radar transceivers that automatically identify individual air
|
|
craft for air traffic controllers. If you don't turn your transponder on, all
|
|
it shows up as (on radar) is a blip. The pilot tried to follow the objects and
|
|
did see some lights,but was unable to catch up with them. The pilot was up
|
|
about 4,000 feet and they were up at 7,000 feet. The Air Force said d-m jets
|
|
stop flying by 10:30 pm and knew of no other military flights in the area at
|
|
12:15 AM Monday.

Soldiers and civilians around Ft. Devens have been keeping an eye on the sky in
|
|
the wake of several recent re- ports of UFO's sighted in the local area.
|
|
Witnesses said the UFO's looked like two glowing orange spheres. Eight
|
|
different individuals have reported seeing these over the past ten days.
|
|
According to the Boxboro, Mass. police log, the UFOs were first sighted by two
|
|
police officers on Oct. 19. Said patrolman Stephen Trefry, along with his
|
|
partner Robert Morrill: We saw two bright orange lights hovering over the tree
|
|
tops. We watched them for about 10 seconds, then they disappeared. Morrill
|
|
immediately radioed their sighting back to Boxboro police station. Suddenly
|
|
they observed the objects again about 150 yards away. moving diagonally over
|
|
the hillside, the UFO's lights glowed for another few sec- onds then
|
|
disappeared. Marcie Robinson, a physical therapist at Emerson Hospital was
|
|
driving her two daughters to school when they observed two round orange balls
|
|
high over a pasture off Prescott Road. Normally skeptical about UFO's, Robinson
|
|
admitted,"i'm not sure if there's a simple explanation for what we saw."

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A mysterious unidentified flying object with flashing white
|
|
and yellow strobe lights followed a Japan Air Lines cargo jet across the Arctic
|
|
Circle, the crew says.
|
|
|
|
The three-man crew radioed air traffic controllers in Anchorage that a huge UFO
|
|
was flying "in formation" with them and the Air Force briefly confirmed and
|
|
object near the plane, said Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Paul
|
|
Steucke.
|
|
|
|
He said the FAA in Anchorage and Fairbanks did not pick up the object. The
|
|
incident occurred Nov.17 but was not made public earlier.
|
|
|
|
Flight 1628 had left Reykjavik, Iceland, flying over the North Pole to Tokyo
|
|
with a stop in Anchorage. When it landed at Anchorage, FAA security manager
|
|
Jim Derry interviewed the pilot, Co-pilot and flight engineer. When the report
|
|
was made to the Air Route Traffic Control Center at 6:19 p.m., Steucke said
|
|
controllers tried to find the object on radar but "were unable to comfirm a
|
|
second target with our equipment."
|
|
|
|
At 6:26 p.m. Steucke said the Air Force told the FAA it "saw a second target
|
|
(object) 8 miles away (from the JAL jet) but they contacted us a mimute later
|
|
and said they were no longer receiving any radar return (of a second object)."
|
|
|
|
Steucke added, "At 6:32 the JAL pilot requested and received permission for a
|
|
descent from 35,000 feet to 31,000." Air controllers asked if the lights were
|
|
still there, and were told, "It is descending in formation." At 6:39 p.m.,20
|
|
minutes after the lights first reported, the JAL crew said it no longer saw the
|
|
lights.
|
|
|
|
At 6:45 p.m. Fairbanks controllers authrized a United Airlines northbound jet
|
|
to make a 10 degree turn to better view the JAL plane and asked the United crew
|
|
if it saw anything besides the Boeing 747. It did not. Nor did the JAL crew
|
|
see the lights again.

her home that covered five other homes as well. The object was huge, pure

white and had no lights. The object was the shape of a saucer and rotating.
|
|
Even though the object was bright (brighter than any object she had ever seen)
|
|
it did not hurt her eyes to look at it. She had no fear and wanted to run out
|

of her home and stand underneath the object but felt paralyzed. The object did

return and her 12 year old son was able to see it. Since the incident she has
