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.

NY, August 3, 2009 - Unknown triangular object flies over my house. MUFON Case # 18455.

A Staten Island, New York, witness out walking his dog first noticed two lights in the sky "moving rather quickly." Once the object was overhead, they "noticed it it was actually 3 lights in a triangular shape with a blinking red light dead in the center. I could not see the outline of the object, but it was blocking out the stars above it." They said that this silent object was larger than a plane. They also report "a 4th light in between the 2 lights in the back of the craft. It seemed very odd that a 4th light would just illuminate suddenly."

The witness states that "the flashes were more like a burst or pulse, which seemed to radiate out from a fixed position in the sky."

Two California witnesses out driving said a light in the sky caught their eye. Then they noticed it was a series of orbs moving in a triangular fashion around a central orb. "This thing was MASSIVE. It took up a chunk of the horizon, and there is no way that someone could have missed this. I can't really estimate the size, but it looked like it could have been 1000 ft. on each side." The witness stated that "the orbs just kind of 'turned off' as if a candle was blown out in a room."

AR, July 31, 2009 - UFO. MUFON Case # 18470.

An Arkansas witness noticed a light in the sky while at a stop light. "The object was bright at first, like a star, but the lights faded and I could see what appeared to be a dark, triangular object that appeared to hover or rotate in place." Then after just 2 or 3 seconds, the object "shot off into the distance - faster than a shooting star." The witness is hoping there were more more witnesses.

Three Missouri witnesses night fishing on Lake of the Ozarks on the Grand Glaize Arm first "noticed a red soda can shaped deep red light slowly moving across the sky at a low altitude." As they moved their boat into an arm of the lake, "we see another rising in the sky and starting to move off in the same direction as the one we saw on the other side of the arm." Then a few seconds later they report, "we saw one rise from over the trees to our right (like a ballon being released)and steadily move more away from us and to the right where the first couple seemed to just move straight to our right. At this point we were confused because they seem to be rising from the trees from pretty close by." They noticed that the lights were disappearing "after about 15 to 20 seconds and seemed to be covering a bit of ground quickly." The estimate having seen 7 or 8 of these objects. They guessed that the objects were "some extreemly bright, big, deep red ballons but seemed to be moving far to quickly for the wind to be blowing them not to mention there was almost no breeze and what breeze there was was hitting us directly in the face....not out to our right and away from us." The witness says the lights were caught on camera in the center of the image, and that the lights in the lower right corner were from a home that appeared to be having a party and that the lights were moving directly over them.
