The UFO Traffic Report for Wednesday, September 9, 2009, includes 8 selected sightings over 5 states, according to witness statements filed in the past 48 hours with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.
Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If MUFON investigates and reports back on any of these cases, I will update this page. The following reports and their headlines are unedited.
FL, September 7, 2009 - boomerang shape with single row of lights on underside. MUFON Case # 19125.
A Florida witness looked up on a clear night and saw a "boomerang shape set of lights" moving directly overhead. The silent object was "gliding" in a southern direction. The object was visible for just about five seconds before it disappeared behind trees. The witness said the object had "definite points of lights" on it and that the sighting occurred near MacDill Air Force Base.
MacDill is located within the city limits of Tampa, eight miles south of downtown

A Florida witness saw what he first thought was a star - but he is second guessing himself after the object appeared low in the sky and red lights appeared.
MN, September 8, 2009 - Fast moving UFO headed south at about 20,000 - 30,000 FT or greater. MUFON Case # 19130.
A Minnesota witness first thought he was watching an airliner in the night sky, but realized there were no blinking lights. The object appeared to be at about 20,000 to 30,000 feet and traveling 400 to 500 mph, but seemed to increase to the "speed of light or even greater." And "as it increased in speed it left a light trail that looked like it was in the shape of an Arch." The light was a "cobalt blue with a white hue. And as it disappeared it released a very bright light. The light was looked as if you starred at a star for awhile and you saw the light rays."

This California witness near the Oregon border at Yreka watched an unusual object that seemed to be 500 yards away and 500 yards in the sky. The object appeared to be a piece of aluminum foil in a rectangular shape - that was "performing a search pattern." The witness stated that "even though everything around it was shaded, this object was still shiny and reflective like sun on polished chrome.."
CA, September 6, 2009 - Brighter than anything in the sky, a white light with no sound flew straight yet bumpily over my head. MUFON Case # 19124.

Comments
I saw a boomerang shaped UFO in the 90's from my roof in NYC. I was using a celestron 4" refractor telescope with a high powered lens (It must have been flying higher than a plane would fly). Silver in color like aircraft aluminum with coin-like indentations on the wings. I don't remember seeing lights. It was moving in the direction of its tip and then rotated 90 degrees and moved straight and repeated this about 4 or 5 times (search pattern like or mapping) until I lost it (the tripod was not locked and I shifted the scope when I was trying to lock it and then could not find the thing again).
I'm not saying it was extraterrestrial but it was exilerating to see it.
