The UFO Traffic Report for Wednesday, May 20, 2009, includes 11 selected sightings over seven states, according to witness statements filed in the past 24 hours with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.
Today's stories include, a bright light over El Vado, New Mexico, that seemed to be emitting black rays; a round object hovering over Boulder, Colorado; a triangle-shaped UFO caught on camera over Colorado; a low flying boomerang-shaped object that moved over Harleysville, Pennsylvania; a bell-shaped object over Indiana; a disc-shaped object hovering over a Pennsylvania pasture; and five interesting cases of bright lights over Indiana, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Alabama.
In other news, those Arizona UFO reports recently were apparently a NASA balloon - and UFOs spotted again near Green Branch Park in Pittsgrove, New Jersey.
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 index page.
The following reports and their headlines are unedited.
First up out of El Vado, New Mexico, where a witness first noticed a bright light where no light had been seen before. It was described as a three dimensional object that was radiating black rays from the top and bottom, and gold, orange and yellow rays from the side - and the center was a very bright white.
NM, January 16, 2009 - Ufo in El Vado NM
Photo: Witness photo was cropped and enlarged to show the actual object better. MUFON image. He asked me to take photos of this light because he had never seen it there. Upon close inspection if the photo is zoomed it is not a star. It is an object with three dimensions which radiate black rays from the top and bottom and colored gold, orange and yellow rays from the side. The center is very white bright. If one looks at the upper right you will see the large face of what looks like an alien being (white face) it also looks skeletal. |
The photographer was shooting pictures over Boulder, Colorado, and discovered this perfectly round object some miles away - keeping in mind that the moon was in the southern sky and just a sliver that night.

An interesting case from Harleysville, Pennsylvania - the witness noticed a boomerang-shaped object 200 yards away and coming toward him - with two bright lights and a description of portholes. The object moved slowly and silently, then when overhead - made a sharp turn and moved away, but now a deep and low-pitched "quiet hum" could be heard as it disappeared over the tree line.
PA, May 18, 2009 - extremely slow, low and noiseless until it turned then there was a low, deep hum On my mom's back porch in Harleysville, PA we saw a boomerang shaped object about 200 yards above the yard coming towards us.It literally came out of nowhere with two bright lights almost like a huge car with headlights driving right towards us. There were 3 portholes on each end of it (one on each end and one at the front point). This was moving extremely slowly and not making a sound. As soon as it was directly above the deck it made a sharp left turn (my right) and continued moving just as slow only now there was a deep, low pitched, quiet hum that would not have been audible from inside of my house. After it turned it continued until I couldn't see it due to trees blocking my view. |
A bell-shaped object was spotted over Indiana after this witness inspected photos taken of a clear sky from his back yard.
IN, May 20, 2009 - Bell shaped ufo over Indiana
|
A disc-shaped object was seen hovering over a Pennsylvania pasture - and then it flew away "at record speed."
PA, May 19, 2009 - Ovalish disc shape that was tranparent Looked out the window and noticed the outline of a moving shape, at airplane height. No smoke or discharge. I kept blinking to make sure I wasn't seeing things. Hovered for 15-20 seconds over our pasture while still maintaining constant jet/airplane altitude. Then it flew away at record speed. When it shot away, my gut reaction was, "That was a UFO." |
A very bright and large stationary light was seen in the sky about two miles east of Hulman international Airport in Indiana, while a glowing object appeared to be on the ground directly below it. The ground object then disappeared, while light "materialized" from the underside of the UFO.
IN, May 18, 2009 - Apppeared as large bright object in eastern sky 15 degrees above horizon.
Photo: Cropped and enlarged witness photo. MUFON image. IN, May 18, 2009 - Same as stated in previous report glowing Object/figure on grouind below ufo vanished and then what appeared to be some type of light/energy ray materialed out of bottom of ufo. Bottom end of ray appears to encapsule some type of object/figure. |
An Oregon witness observed what looked like a plane pulling an object larger than itself - but looking again, the trailing object appeared to be transulcent.
OR, May 17, 2009 - A small private airplane was being tailed by a large "vaporous" looking aircraft which was in the shape of a large airplane. Yesterday, Sunday May 17,2009, I was sitting out on the back deck of my |
More reports from the Murrysville, Pennsylvania, area - this time an amber or orange light in the sky that was larger than a star.
PA, May 18, 2009 - Another amber/orange UFO seen in Murrysville, PA-plus 7 more UFOs that night! Murrysville, PA: Coming back from Monroeville mall around 9:25p.m.-ish, girlfriend was coming down hill on Rt 22 by Wendy's when looking South, saw an amber/orangey, larger-than-a-star light that looked similar as one we both saw on 5/13/09. She took the 1st kid who went with daughter & friend home, then got back on Rt. 22 towards Delmont. Object was seen at that time by 3 people total in car. No other stars were out yet. No blinking light, it was steady glow--the only light in the sky. NOT CHINESE LANTERNS. |
This sphere or circle-shaped object over Maryland skies was seen to be pulsating with lights - red, green, orange, purple and pink - and was gone in 15 minutes.
MD, May 19, 2009 - Pulsating lights stayed in the same place for 15 min. and was just gone Was sitting on the sofa watching a movie with my friend and we just happened to look out to our balcony and saw this sphere (what he describes it as/circle to me) shape pulsating with lights and we went out on to the balcony to see make sure it wasn't a plane because there was a plane stationed above/next to it or what we believe to be a plane and we watched it for 15 minutes BUT we heard NO sound NO sound whatsoever!...after 15 minutes it was just gone but during those 15 minutes the object was pulsating various beautiful colors...red, green, orange, purple, pink and it was to big to be a star and stars don't just vanish. It did come back again but it was not there that long and it just vanished again and it was a beautiful cloudless sky tonight. |
A large, shiny, silver object was seen in the Alabama skies moving east to west, with no wings and seemed to be spinning. The witness states tht it looked like there were "dark shadows moving from front to back." Witness estimates the object at 2,000 feet and about one-quarter mile away.
AL, May 19, 2009 - Not really sure what it was... At around 11:30am I went out back to have a smoke, I was sitting there (facing south) and I looked up and saw a large shiny silver object in the sky moving slowly from east to west. At first I thought it was a low flying jet ( I am not too far from the Huntsville Airport and it was large like the body of a passenger jet) but I noticed it did not have any wings and it appeared to be spinning like a windsock. I thought it was just my eyes playing tricks on me at first but as hard as I tried I could not make out any wings! It went behind a tree top, taking at least 20-30 sec to get to the other side, which in my mind seems a little slow for a large jet to be trying to land at Huntsville, not to mention it was heading away from the airport. As I watched it, it seemed to be descending heading toward the TN River over Decatur Proper. I even thought it might be a large balloon, but a balloon that big and long would have twisted in the wind, also the wind was blowing out of the south and the object was moving WNW. It never changed direction or speed. The only odd thing was it looked like there were dark "shadows" moving from front to back which is where I got that it looked like it was spinning I guess. It was, if I had to guess about 2,000 feet up and maybe a half a mile away. I watch the planes in the area all of the time and have never seen anything like it. Also I have been a witness to several other ufo events and this is not the most strange one I have seen, but it is the first daytime ufo I have seen. I waited to see if anyone else was going to report it but no one has...There has to be some other people that saw this. One other thing, I have lived here for over a year, you rarely see military jets but an f-16 flew over around 9 that morning. I have only seen one other f-16 over Decatur and that was 10-11 months ago. If anyone else saw this object, PLEASE report it or let me know what it was. |
