In Other News: An object was reported to have crashed into Sylvan Lake, Minnesota, on possibly July 27. According to the Country Messenger, a "credible witness" reported that "a helicopter or some other craft had crashed into the lake." The Washington County Dive Team and Scandia Fire Chief Jim Finnegan responded to the scene. Finnegan said that the witness saw a "big splash on the lake as well as large waves and swirling water." No helicopter or any other air craft was found.
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. You can read my selected cases by type of UFO report at the UFO Traffic Report index page.
TX, May 15, 2009 - the belly of the craft illumined light reflection of ballpark lights as it flew overhead. MUFON Case # 18610.
This Texax witness is starting to re-think odd disappearances and reappearances of stars in the sky after spotting "the underbelly of the craft enough so that I could make out it's shape." The witness said the lights of a nearby ballpark were enough to illuminate the object. It was described as having a "stealth-like surface in that it was not shiney" and a "curvature of that of an upside-down frisby, so that the edges were not hard angled, but curved up slightly. There was nothing shiney, nor were there any lights from it. There was no sound heard from it. Had the park lights not been lit, I would not have seen it at all." In the past, he had noticed "stars 'dissappearing and reappearing', which I had concluded that perhaps it was caused by a flock of birds...now I am not so sure about that reasoning. It could be the disks flying overhead."
TX, August 11, 2009 - Triangular or diamond shape moving across the sky - changed direction once - no lights. MUFON Case # 18613.
A group of Texas witnesses saw a "diamond or triangular moving shape in the sky" with no lights "but it seemed to blocking out the starlights behind it." The object appeared to be "very high in the sky." The witness said the "only illumination seemed to be a very faint reflection from the surrounding ambient light. It took a turn to the southwest and we continued to watch as it moved across the sky. It continued on to the southwest and we lost sight of it when it was at about 30 or 40 degrees above the horizon. It just got too faint to see."
NY, August 8, 2009 - brightest light. MUFON Case # 18601.
A New York witness was in bed when the bedroom suddenly lit up so bright that he had to put his hand over his eyes to block out the light. There was no noise associated with the light, which went off a few seconds later and the witness went back to sleep. The next day, the witness was looking at his trees, grass, and shrubs on the property, and noticed that the "tree is burnt to a crisp." None of the branches were broken, and no burn marks, "but every single leaf is burnt. I picked up a leaf and crushed it in my hand, to dust."
CA, August 8, 2009 - Triangle three white lights one red flashing in center, no noise. MUFON Case # 18594.
A California witness saw a triangle-shaped craft "with three white outer lights and a flashing red center light just above the redwoods." The object then disappeared past the tree line over the ocean.
NE, August 10, 2009 - Yellow-orange star-like object move in a straight line across the night sky with no sound. MUFON Case # 18593.
A Nebraska witness "saw an orange-yellow bright object moving in a straight line across the sky from the West to the East." The silent object was described as "a bright, star-like circle or sphere." After observing the object for about one minute, "it began blinking a reddish-orange light, but this was not visible until it was quite a distance away, leading me to believe the blinking light was located directly on top of it."
MD, August 5, 2009 - Triangular shaped orange lights. MUFON Case # 18590.
A Maryland witness near the White Marlin Open Tournament observed three lights in a triangle formation of a Ferris Wheel. After about 20 minutes, the lights faded out.
IN, August 9, 2009 - Very bright light through trees got camera ran to view saw bright light go west.. MUFON Case # 18588.
An Indiana witness was getting interference on his satellite television reception and stepped outside to see if a storm was approaching, but it was a clear night. Through the trees, he saw a bright light and then moved closer to get a better look. The witness then reports the "bright light moving away at great speed toward the west" toward Kokomo. The light was described as "vivid red inside, blue and white aura outside." The object made no noise, and when first observed, the light was so bright it was hard to look at.
NJ, August 8, 2009 - Watched unidentified object flying erratically and very fast while on the beach and then shot off at "warp speed" and disappeared. MUFON Case # 18586.
A New Jersey witness at Sandy Hook saw a small, dark object in the sky - about the size of a pea held at arm's length. It was hard to make out the shape, but the witness says it was round, disc, or sphere shaped and moving erratically in the sky. The object eventually moved away at an extreme speed.
TX, August 12, 2009 - black triangle with dim lights. MUFON Case # 18627.
Three Texas witnesses near Ft. Hood saw a "dark triangle shape with a dim light in all three corners." The object was silent.
