The UFO Traffic Report for Friday, May 1, 2009, includes 12 selected sightings over 10 states, according to witness statements filed in the past 48 hours with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.
In other news, Meteor-like UFOs appear controlled from a Pennsylvania report on April 29, and Three UFO sightings over Arizona on April 28 seem to be related.
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. You can read my selected cases by type of UFO report at the UFO Traffic Report main page. The following reports and their headlines are unedited.
Four stories of triangular-shaped craft over Florida and Nebraska, and two accounts from Washington. In this first story from Florida, the witness says the object emerged from a cloud as a massive triangular-shape at least 100 yards long, and it was silently and slowly coasting at a low altitude.
FL, April 2, 2009 - Big black delta fly over Miami .....it was in the clouds. My wife and I were visting friends at thier house. While my friends played xbox inside the house, my wife wanted to smoke a cigarette outside, i agreed to accompany her. We went outside to the back of the house to the porch. We stood outside for a few seconds looking at the moon. the moon seemed very bright. while i looked at the moon my wife spotted something spectacular behind me. She was in awe and told me to look behind me. I turned to look and to my amazement I saw and Big Black Triangle (Delta). I first taught it was a B-2 Stealth Bomber. Being that I am ex-military and was in The UNITED STATES AIR FORCE and have a secret clearence. The B-2 bomber is the closes thing I could think of but is way off. It emerged from a cloud that had happen to slow down making the object come out of the cloud completely and I could cleary distinguish the shape of the object to be a massive triangle slowy coasting at a very low altitude over our heads. It was at least a hundred yards long, like a football field. It had 8-12 white lights underneath it shaped in a V. It was very silent. I couldn't believe that such a massive object could be flying over our heads at such a low altitude without falling out of the sky in dead silence.As I looked at it, I needed my friends to see it, I ran into the house to tell my friends to come out side immediately. As i came out I could see it going into another cloud directly infront of it's on-going course over our heads.It flew from South to North right over our heads.By the time my friends came out it had gone into the clouds. I was ecstatic that I was very lucky to have seen such an amazing object. I first taught it was military. But as soon as my reasoning started to think otherwise(non-human) that is when i started to get chills all over, that such an object can be flying over so close without any detection is very scary, I was in the military and i've never seen that before. I am sorry to say i have no pics of the event. Just to witness being that of me and my wife. Big Black Triangle |
A Nebraska witness first saw what appeared to be a star moving, then the shape forming an S, and then observed a black triangle UFO moving at "unrealistic speed" and watched as it eventually stopped over his parent's home.
NE, April 29, 2009 - Flying star UFO, then a triangle. This is not the first time I have seen UFOS, however, this time I felt the need to report it because it has been very disturbing. When I was a kid, I read lots of books about alien abductions, but as I became an adult, I decided that UFO stuff was false. This year things have changed, I have seen about 3 UFOs, and now I don't know what to think. |
A Washington witness observed a dark mass with three very dark red orbs. While he could not observe the craft itself, he could tell it was triangle-shaped as it blockout out his vision of the stars behind it.
WA, April 30, 2009 - 3 DARK DARK red orbs and soil center
Image: Witness illustration. MUFON image. Then something else caught my eye. It was a dark mass with 3 VERY Dark red orbs or dark areas that appeared to be orbs went over. I could not see the craft but I could see it blocking out the stars behind it. I could make out that it was a triangle shape but no detail to it other then the 3 dark reddish orbs. The object made no sound at all and it moved smooth like a disc on a table hockey board. |
This second report from Washington on the same date details how a witness captured a triangle UFO on his sky web cam.
WA, April 30, 2009 - Triangle looking - flying slowly I have a modified webcam with no IR filter connected to my PC and looking upward towards the sky through my office window. I keep it there all the time and watch the skies, clouds etc. using WebCam application. |
This North Dakota witness was driving when he saw a "squarish object" about 300 feet in the air with four bright red lights and a single bright white light undernearth.
ND, April 24, 2009 - I was driving object flew over my truck about 300 feet above it. i was driving my girlfriend home and after i dropped her off, i was on my way home and stopped at a yeild sign and saw in the distance a squarish object in the sky about 300 feet in the air. it had 4 bright red lights 2 in the back and 2 in the front and a bright white light under it that kinda went around to the rear. the rest was a dark black i bent down to find a camera in the truck and by the time i found it and got out of the object was up in the sky so high it looked almost like a star.it took about 7seconds to find the camera. |
An Oregon group of witnesses followed a giant V-shaped UFO that they described as having three pulsating red lights that made no sound as it hovered over power lines and a field. The object was 150 feet across and was between 500 and 700 feet off of the ground.
OR, April 16, 2009 - Flying V. the object was dark in color,had 3 red pulsating,not flashing lights at the bottom.one at the end of each wing and one in the center of the main front part.no sound at all. |
A Kansas report includes a description of this UFO as being oval in shape with seven or eight bright lights.
KS, April 30, 2009 - I saw a UFO aircraft This morning, i wake up at 3 am and went outside of my house. I saw the light coming towards me and as object is near by me i saw aircraft was oval at bottom it has 7 or 8 bright light. I was going to take pic but as i go to my room and grab camera it will be too late.Before i thought UFO's dont exit but after i seen from my naked eyes it does exit. |
There were four reports of Bright Light UFOs over Georgia, California, Florida and Wisconsin. In the Georgia case, the witness reports three flashes of light in the sky, observing what appeared to be a free falling object with no sound, and then two "moving stars" traveling in opposite directions.
GA, April 29, 2009 - Unusual lights. My husband and I were standing on the back patio star gazing as we do every nice night when a large flash caught my eye it was very bright, almost as a camera flash would be, and as I looked in that direction it flashed again and was traveling as fast as a free falling object would. |
This Bright Light over San Jose, California was traveling in a straight line at between 1,000 and 2,000 feet, about 350 to 450 knots, and was silent with no flashing lights, according to this 75-year-old private pilot.
CA, April 29, 2009 - Bright light traveling to the SSW @ approx 2000 ft. First let me give you a little background on myself. I am 75 years old and hold a private pilots license. I live in an area of San Jose where I can observe the landing patterns of commercial flights coming into San Jose from both the north and south. The aircraft coming in from the north (Seattle, Portland) sometime fly very close to my home so am very familiar with their altitude and speed both day and night. Although I am not as close to arriving aircraft coming in from the south (about 5 miles)I am also familiar with their appearance. Aircraft departing from San Jose to the south make a 180 degree turn to the right before continuing south. Aircraft departing to the north (Seattle, Portland) have to make a 360 degree turn to the right in order to gain enough altitude before crossing over the San Francisco area and pass almost directly over my home. I believe at least 10,000 feet. Although my hearing has suffered over the years I am able to hear these aircraft very easily. |
A dim light was reported over Florida skies that disappeared just as it was about to enter a cloud bank.
FL, April 29, 2009 - A dim light flew over then got very bright then dimmed again then disappeared. I went outside @ 9:03 pm April 29 2009 to take a phone call when I glanced upward and seen an interesting light.It was dim and white.I noticed no flashing lights of any kind,just one solid dim light.I continued to observe when after a couple minutes it grew really bright for approximately 15 seconds,then once again dimmed.I then looked away to check the time it was 9:06 pm.I looked back up afraid once I looked away and would disappear,but,it was still going.It was moving from the northwest to the southeast direction slowly.Another reason it caught my eye,I live in a fly zone with lots of air traffic.So I can distinguish a plane or helicopter.When the event ended it got to a cloudbank and as if someone shut out the lights and disappeared.This was also interesting because it never entered the clouds.It disappeared before it got to the clouds.Like a light switch.Very odd behavior for a plane or helicopter.It was definitely something different.Well as for this story it isn't my only sighting in this area.I have seen dozens around here.Many being this same type.It always gives me goosebumps like wow! |
This Bright Light over Madison, Wisconsin, appeared to be the size of a basketball in the distance and moved staight down.
WI, April 22, 2009 - Bright, basketball size light high in the east, that just dropped rapidlly and vanished. I was looking east out my bedroom window the eastern sky was just turning gray when I was drawn towards a very bright light high in the eastern sky. First thought it was a star, to big to bright, not a helicopter, to high, not a plane, light to big, so I was just staring at it. As I watched the light went stright down, just as fast as I have ever seen anything move, there was a band of clouds moving from north to south at approx. 5000 feet the light dropped behind that cloud bank and I was sure it would come out the bottom, but it didnt. I looked north and south but no light it was gone. I mean who do you tell this to but you guys.I was probably the only guy in madison that was looking right were this thing was and I debated about reporting it but I know what I saw and it wasnt anything I can explain to myself. I was not thinking UFO until it dropped like a rock and vanished!!! |
And finally, this report of what appears to be a fireball over Vermont.
VT, April 29, 2009 - Bright diamond fireball in the sky. Driving in my car on the way to price chopper on s. winooski road and my girlfriend spotted what looked like a bright orange/yellow diamond fireball in the sky over lake champlain to the south west. We tracked it for about a minute until it suddenly vanished in the sky. Probably just an exploding star or something like that right? Or is the world going to end? |
