Multiple UFO sightings from the same encounter continue to dot the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database landscape.

Case # 25109 from Utah on August 15, 2010, is another case in point.

Typical of many reports, they are classified as a CE-1 - an object seen at a distance higher than 500 feet. The witness describes movement and lighting that does not seem to match stars, planets, or other known man made or natural objects.

In this particular case, the three witnesses watch multiple objects in the sky of different colors at a guestimate of 15,000 feet. The entire sighting lasted about 10 minutes.

Reports of watching multiple UFOs from a single sighting, and observing multiple UFOs from the same location over time, seem to be increasing nationally. We recently reported: UFO hot spots? Witness says look west from Redding, CA

MUFON's new Star Team Manager, Chase Kloetzke, who is also a 15-year MUFON member and field investigator, had this to say about another continuing sighting spot in MUFON Case # 22904.

"I personally see it as an opportunity to document evidence. Each report from a witness (that appears credible), of a recurring event, increased the odds that an on-site investigation would be productive. On-going events can offer a chance for MUFON FIs to document, research and even identify IFOs. My best and most productive investigations have been exactly of this type report."

The following is the unedited and as yet uninvestigated report filed with MUFON. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If Utah MUFON State Director Elaine Douglass investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

UT, August 15, 2010 - I first saw a bright reddish orange object flashing then looked to the left and saw a second object that was a vivid green color. While these 2 objects sat there I saw several more orb looking ufos appear and watch. They eventually disappeared. MUFON Case # 25109.

My sightings started around 2 or 3 in the afternoon where I would see single UFOs just floating through the sky. A few hours later I starting getting ready to grill and then saw a green object that would go bright then dim over and over. I watched for about 2 minutes before I lost sight of it. So about 30 minutes after that (putting the food on the grill now) I I see another object that looks fairly close, (around 15,000) this object was a flashing a very vivid reddish orange color which would get brighter and dimmer over and over. As I am looking at this object I scan across the sky and see the same green UFO I saw early. It looked to be at the exact same height as the other UFO and they were in a direct line with each other a short distance away. These 2 UFOs were doing there flashing thing and did not move from there spots. As I am watching this I see a small red orb appear in the same part of the sky but it looked to be much higher. Again, this orb just appeared and sat there as if it were watching the other 2 UFOs. After about 3 more minutes I saw a total of 4 of the red orbs that were higher. As all this was happening I saw a white orb (looked just like the red ones except it is white) appear and move slowly across the sky through the paths of the 2 UFOs. This event took about 10 minutes and was extremely weird. My wife and 3 year old daughter witnessed it with me. My 3 year old says they looked like stars that sparkled, it was cute. Eventually after all the UFOs disappeared and moved off I saw a jet fly over where all the UFOs were. The jet was flying high but it looked small and had a single exhaust which to me fits an F-16. 5 minutes after the first F-16 flew by I saw another one fly by going the exact same way. That was the last thing I saw that evening.
