The UFO Traffic Report for Monday, September 14, 2009, includes 13 selected sightings over 10 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.
WV, September 13, 2009 - A white starish object in the sky near Snowshoe WV. MUFON Case # 19304.
A West Virginia couple noticed a bright object that seemed "to be making little circles in the sky." They set up a camera on a tripod and were able to snap one image - where now the object appeared to be moving in a "zig-zap" pattern. The contrast and brightness was adjusted in the witness image at the top of this page.
SC, September 10, 2009 - Orange lights over the ocean appear disappear then reappear as I watch off of hotel balcony. MUFON Case # 19308.
A witness at Myrtle Beach looked out his balcony and saw lights about 20 feet higher than the 8th floor room and about 100 feet out over the ocean. "They were rectangle in shape with a pale orange glow. One light at first, then two light. They flashed out then reappeared as three set close together, then a gap and another light. Four lights altogether."
AZ, September 13, 2009 - Phosphorescent blue chevron pattern, fast moving. MUFON Case # 19305.
An Arizona couple saw a "quick burst of phosphorescent blue in a pattern that can be likened to a chevron but in boomerang formation. There was one blue arrow-like spot in the front. There were 4 others behind it slightly staggered, but equal distance apart. It was LARGE and appeared in a faint cloud formation to the east of our home. In the blink of an eye, it had jumped quite a distance and just blinked in and out and was gone. It looked like it could have been the under lighting of a large craft, but being ex-military, I don't think we have technology that moves in the blink of an eye."
ID, September 13, 2009 - bright light 90 degree couse change no sound very close disappeared. MUFON Case # 19303.
This Idaho family saw a "very bright light" as close as one might see a helicopter overhead. The silent object "turned on a dime," traveled a short distance, and then "just disappeared." The described it "an intensely white glow."
MI, September 11, 2009 - Blue ball of light falling from sky and zig-zagging. MUFON Case # 19300.
A Michigan witness considers what he saw might have been a meteor, but the "zig-zag" movements it made makes you think otherwise. The sighting occurred at 5:37 a.m., on September 11, 2009, in front of a dairy farm on Sparta Avenue, near the city of Sparta, Kent County. The object was described as "a bright blue light" that was falling fast, then it slowed down, and was zig-zagging as it fell. He seems to think that if it hit land, it would have come down "somewhere around the Pamida store or around M-37."
WI, September 11, 2009 - Sphere emitting bright star like light. MUFON Case # 19294.
Two Wisconsin witnesses standing in a field saw a sphere-like object emitting light. As the object moved toward the witnesses, they described it as "very bright from all sides," about 500 to 1,000 feet in the air, 10 feet in diamteter, and "emitting a glowing smoke or cloudy mist." The silent object took between 3 and 5 minutes to move across the sky and "then it disappeared."
CA, September 12, 2009 - Bright lights from south-west appeared with tracer tail, and traveled north in steady path to show moving lights in horizontal stream. MUFON Case # 19292.
A California witness first saw a "tracer tail of yellow lights" in the sky - but soon was able to see a "disc shaped lighted object heading to the north." The witness described it as "something out of the movies." The object rotated as it moved. The witness had seen another UFO from the same location on August 24, 2009.
NY, August 15, 2009 - 2 separate cones with red sphere on bottom which looked like it contained fire. MUFON Case # 19291.
A New York witness first thought he was looking at a plane on fire, but then realized it was cone or triangle shaped, although the object seemed to change shape as he watched it. "It was sometimes more triangle shaped than cone but the light on bottom remained what looked like a sphere of fire." The object was observed for another 2 to 3 minutes before it disappeared over the horizen. Then just 30 to 45 seconds later, a second object of similar appearance was seen for about one minute in the sky in the same spot where the first object had been. The object then traveled north and upwards into the clouds.
SC, September 4, 2009 - a huge object came towards my wife and i while we were in the car. MUFON Case # 19290.
A South Carolina couple got a scare as they were driving home from a trip to Georgia. They first thought the object was a plane, when suddenly, "the multi-colered light object we thought was a plane got huge in a matter of seconds and was coming towards us...it seemed like forever, but it probobly lasted about 10 seconds...it looked just like a disc...like the old ufo pics you see...the lights were orange,white,and red."
WA, September 12, 2009 - Unreal UFO over I-5 looking NW near Kelso, exit 38. MUFON Case # 19289.
A Washington witness driving along Route I-5 at milemarker 38 noticed a "very white sphere hovering just west of the freeway, northbound, at about 20 degrees above the freeway. It was very bright and stationary. In about 10 seconds it moved around the sky, but not streaking, it was just in one place, then another, all within about a 5 inch range of my vision."
PA, September 3, 2009 - My son spotted a shape in the sky as we sat in traffic. MUFON Case # 19287.
A Pennsylvania woman and her son spotted a cigar-shaped object in the sky at 7:55 a.m. along Schoenersville Road in Bethlehem as they drove along Route 22. The object was hovering at one point and described as "a bright silver color that reflected the sunlight on that very clear and sunny morning."
WA, September 12, 2009 - Bright Light streaking across sky turning and triangular shape w/lights visible. MUFON Case # 19283.
A couple returning home to Yacolt, Washington, spotted "a very bright" light as they entered the city limits. They first thought it was a meteor, although the object was just a few hundred feet above the tree top level. But just as the object was about to disappear from view, it "seemed to turn a bit and the setting sun shone on it. We could then see that it was not a huge meteor but a triangular shaped object with lights underneath. The lights were very large and we both saw five lights. It was going very fast and was gone in seconds. It was definitely not an airplane or other 'normal' light in the sky.

Case 19278,sounds like a pathetic attempt at robbing people.Anyone who charges to see a piece of history such as a alien craft is up to no good and should be tar and feathered!I know for a fact if i found such a craft, i would never call any government official in fact i would do my best to conceal it from them even if it meant helping the occupants, and to hell with lying government officials!The whole thing smacks of debunkers trying to muddle the waters with their cheap little mindless head games .Intelligent people see right through such crap and should have this idiot exposed and his picture in the newspapers!If this had any truth to it they wouldn't be charging one red cent for a look at something that would change humanity as we know it.
GodlessPeace; Case 19278, this guy even put his name at the end of the report.
Long Description of Sighting Report:
it is as i said triangle in shape, all metalic color,i could find no entrance into this thing,my question to your group is would you pay to be taken up in the allegheny national forest to see this thing,and if you would pay, how much? i wony include any photos because i want to be paid to take anyone up there to see it,and i know our wonderful goverment would probably say yeah they pay to see and once i took them to it i'm sure i would never see a dime,if your not interested just send me back a reply and you'll never hear any more from me. sincerly, Anthony Russell.
If it was really a downed spacecraft, various members of MUFON would pay a fair price for it. Problem is, if you pay one person, every crazy/crooked person withing 500 miles will be coming forward claiming to have something to sell. Same thing happened in Stephenville, TX last year. Would I do what this guy is trying to do? No, but I'm not going to judge this guy either. I will say he is going about it the wrong way if he really has something. On the other hand, if he waits long enough, if there is anything to it, the government will find it, take it and he will get nothing.
Hello Anthony Russell,
I'm sure there are people who can come up with a figure to "pay" you for your efforts at personally leading them to the downed craft, and your personal guarantee of same. A performance bond put up by you is the first thing you'd be required to do, so that you are on-line financially should you be less than truthful. Otherwise most folks won't judge you as being truthful. Of course if it is as you say, you'd probably be OK. You would probably be required to sign off on photos and/or slides of known aircraft, so that it's not simply a case of mistaken identify. You would probably be required to supply a few photos of the downed craft (no fuzzy or hard-to-see photos allowed) along with your affidavit admissible in a court of law saying that what you are presenting is true to the best of your knowledge and ability. I'm sure the attorneys representing the money would have a few more qualifications for you.
How long is it going to take The Powers That Be to give Allegheny National forest the once-over with every last piece of reconnaissance technology at their disposal, locate the crashed craft and make off with it before A Russell or the rest of us are any the wiser? Sometime ending yesterday morning I would imagine !
Is this guy for real? It's a bit like some Islamist blogging on weaponsofmassdestruction.com that he knows where uncle Osama is hiding and offering guided visits to the faithful !
Robert Bigelow has been waiting for this call for a very long time, why didn't he contact him instead?
A Russell :- you may not have wanted to send photos as evidence but now you've told anyone who reads this site, you're going to have to in order to prove it's still there.Or ever was, because if it was when you first posted it almost certainly won't be now.
Better distribute those pics before you get a knock on the door from the Men in Black.If it's all true you should be able to make a tidy sum selling your story to the media.
Your original post asked for a reply, and I think you can guess what it is by now. Somehow I think we have heard the last from you.
To: A. Russell, If your story is true and if your name is correct.... your in over your head! If the government has not already got you and this downed craft yet, then you had better make every second count! This stuff is highly classified top secret to the highest levels, in short the G-men are going to be deep into your s.h.i.t. . They already should have your IP address linked with your real name, address....etc.. . I would guess you have already busted yourself. At this point.... your just an accident waiting for a place to happen. I wouldn't want to be you no matter if your story is real or not. The big boys play for keeps. I'm curious how they will react wither your story is real or not??? If your story is real they will want terminate all leads and evidence, that may also include you MR.Russell. Don't walk....RUN to your nearest television news station with all your evidence! It's your safest option to become highly know or you could meet an ill fate! Best of LUCK!
If this is really a downed space craft our government would go to the ends of the earth to get it, keep it's secret safe guarded away and used to our military advantage. Mr. Russell may soon be toast if not already!
If anyone ever really finds a downed space craft, reporting it over the Internet, cell phone, or hm. phone will surely get you busted! A "CIA" person told me that they can listen to anyone's conversion with in audible distance.....Via a cell phone with a battery in it. Off or on doesn't matter. They are able to ease drop and can listen to your every word. So wither your talking on your cell phone or not, just talking near by a cell phone with a battery in it, they can use it as a listening device. Mr. Russell's cell phone can be used as a listening device to hear everything said. In the matters of National Security our government can and will do anything they want. Russell is now a threat!

MUFON Case # 19278 was found to be a HOAX from an unstable individual that harasses investigator from other organization over the phone including BFRO. Great job on the start team and PA investigator for sniffing this one out.
I saw the same circling "star" over Boston, MA around 2 am Tuesday morning...

The man that said he found a downed plane or ufo must be very sick.If it was a downed plane I know I would want to know. I would report it to the police.The guy has to be pretty sick.But he needs to be checked out anyway he sounds kinda mentally unstable and needs to be checked out before he does something really bad.
So this guy is some kind of stalker.Now he's trying to lure uflogists into the woods on false pretences, and he wants them to bring lots of money too!
This is seriously sinister ! The sasquatch hunters have rumbled him so now he's trying ufologists. Call the cops somebody !
A. Russell,MUFON Case # 19278) Any proof he's a stalker or making a hoax? Just because someone says he's sick etc??? Just a change on the focus to cool down a hot story? To buy time, quieten it down and out? MUFON & other UFO reporting agencies = Government fishing score for abductees' or physical evidence. I'm not going to trust either of them! People lets use our brains more logically! UFOs are classified top secret by our government! Does anyone actually think the government is going to let MUFON or any other UFO reporting source have free run at the highest classified subject they have? MUFON has government fingers running thought it enough to control things and or get the information they want out of the public reports. In order to be in the "know", only the ones with the highest government clearance on UFOs get this stuff. To our government it is a National Security matter. Where does anyone think a UFO reporting net work would rank with our top secret subject? I'm thinking "0"
Mr. Russel seems like he is a bit off at best. Having spent so much time in the woods he reveals everything about himself and nothing of any import to those he would woo to his crumpled carbunkle. As others have said if there is anything to his story then MR Rustle is getting water boarded in gauntanamo and the little Ufo he found is safely in the hanger and being disemminated to the carret labs.
Sept.19-09 Saturday Night we were in our yard here in Marlinton W.Va. when looked up in the sky and saw a White Light glazing down from the sky it looked as if it was a spot light with rays gleaming from it the light only lasted a little while then slowly it went away we did not hear anything around as in a plane or heliecoptor but it was so quite and only a planet and a star was in the sky. Woundering what it could be that was in the sky that night.
