A Boardman, Ohio, woman who observed a triangle-shaped UFO has released a longer version of the video she shot on May 30, 2007, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
She reports that the craft was silent and had unusual lighting.
"There are NO blinking FAA lighting on this craft," the witness stated. "The craft made no apparent noise. Light traffic from the adjacent street next to my home is only heard."
A shorter version of the video was originally release. You can view the complete video at YouTube here.
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 Ohio MUFON State Director William E. Jones investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update.
OH, May 30, 2007 - Triangle UFO, Boardman, Ohio 2007 Video. MUFON Case # 24791.
Hello,
My name is *(Wit's name and other identifying information deleted--SGonzalez/CMS).
I am also a contactee and devoted skywatcher. Since 2005 when I began skywatching regularly, I have been seeing some strange craft here in the skies over Northeast Ohio.
Countless hours of skywatching paid off.
On May 30, 2007 I managed to catch a triangular shaped unknown craft on film during a night skywatch. The crafts lights are apparently different from known conventional craft. There are NO blinking FAA lighting on this craft. The craft made no apparent noise. Light traffic from the adjacent street next to my home is only heard.
I was shooting with a Sony DSR SR40 digital HDD camcorder with the nightvision on, but NOT the infrared nightvision. This object has 3 white round lights in the form of a small triangle at first in the footage. Approx. 35-40 seconds into the footage a smaller light flickered on for a split second in the upper left of the light formation. If one is not closely looking, it will be missed.
The most amazing part is seconds later another white light slowly dims on the craft to show the craft is bigger then first thought. I have never seen a conventional airplane do these acrobatics with light formations, make no sound and have no blinking FAA light on it.

A shorter version of this footage was released immediately. I was having PC problems and the whole file would not upload at the time of the sighting. Since then, I have fixed the problem and just today successfully uploaded the whole sighting to my shows youtube page:

What was it? I do not know, your guess is as good as mine. I am grateful I documented this sighting and want to encourage others to skywatch as we the people are disclosure.
Best Regards,
Karrie Reynolds

One of the more interesting videos to surface of late... though I'd like to see the video scrutinized a bit for fakery (it's just the times we live in) and adjusted for the movement of the camera.
I would also like to note that You Tube has become one of the least reliable places for viewing anything but juvenile pranks. I'd like to see MUFON (et al) sponsor a website where vids could be displayed under a less circus-like atmosphere. Websites and bandwidth/storage space is really not all that expensive.
The witness reports the craft was triangular in shape however the video shows only a triangular configuration of lights. They could be attached to a triangle, a disc shape or a fuselage with wings and a tail. The lack of a strobe isn't strong enough evidence to make any statement other than it likely wasn't a commercial flight. The witness also reports that the craft made no sound however there is clearly some sound on the video, perhaps jet engines or the din of a nearby road or highway which would potentially cover the distant roar of aircraft engines from the immediate attention of the witness. Boardman is roughly 20 miles from Youngstown-Warren AFB which may indicate the likely source for this aircraft. The FAA rules just don't apply to these military flyboys. I lived most of my life under two air stations, believe me.
Please keep in mind the only aircraft housed at Youngstown Air Reserve Base are C130'3 which make a heck alot of noise. C130's flying overhead are obvious. This craft was not a c130. Could it have come from Wright Patterson? Sure could have. I have a friend of mine that has worked at Youngstown AFB for 20 years and she states the c130's are the only aircraft that is housed there. Nothing stealth like this is housed there. I agree,this could have been secret military craft. If so, why are there so many reports of them flying over the neighborhoods here in Ytown and surrounding areas? Ask yourself that question. It costs big money to take out crafts like that. Are they monitoring the neighborhoods of UFO hotspots? Please review the links posted on the videos description, you will see this area is a UFO Hot spot.

Great to see this report take off so quickly on the internet. Raising awareness and pushing forward with disclosure. Its only a matter of time before the majority of residents are armed with camcorders and skywatching. Real factual proof, multiple witnesses all in this area reporting similar sightings.
