The UFO Traffic Report for Monday, August 10, 2009, includes 11 selected sightings over 8 states, according to witness statements filed in the past 72 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. You can read my selected cases by type of UFO report at the UFO Traffic Report index page.

MN, August 9, 2009 - Saw black object cylinder shape changed to boomerang, triangle, s, disc, and sphere. MUFON Case # 18566.

A group of Minnesota witnesses watched a shape-shifting object in the sky.

"It looked like a big black hanger drifting and floating. It would erratically change shape from a hanger like boomerang to a triangle and then back to a boomerang. It would undulate and become disc-shaped and then elongate into a cylinder with a big sphere on the end."

They said that the object would have been visible to a Southwest Airline jet moving overhead at the same time. The group speculates that it "could have been some sort of cylindrical balloon. I could see light through it as if it was segmented when it was 's' shaped. It floated off past the line of trees and out of my line of sight."

IN, August 9, 2009 - UFO Sighting off of 465 and Ditch Road. MUFON Case # 18584.

An Indiana couple driving near Route 465 and Ditch Road saw a motionless light in the sky that first appeared to be a helicopter or flare. But then the object "darted downward or north east extremely fast." They want to rule out shooting star, because the object remained in one position "for at least 10 seconds" before darting away.

WI, August 9, 2009 - Invisible object seen travelling through clouds, leaving cloud trail behind it. MUFON Case # 18574.

This Wisconsin witness could not see an object in the sky, but instead reports "something moved out of the clouds at a high speed and made the clouds trail behind it, like a con trail. In fact, I saw the cloud trail forming behind the "object", but never saw the object." Additionally, "the object moving 4-5 times (at least) faster than a normal airplane, it made a 80 degree, sharp turn. The whole thing took less than 3 seconds and was completely silent. There were other breaks in the clouds, so I kept looking to see if the "object" continued its movement, but could no longer see it anywhere. It was as if it vanished."

MI, August 6, 2009 - a bright orange circle appeared. it seperated into two, then leap froged across the night sky for a few seconds. it then reappeared and split into two again. MUFON Case # 18573.

A Michigan family at Lake Huron saw "a large orange light or fire ball just over the lake. it split into two then leap froged across the night sky. it was around 10:30pm or so. after about 5 min or so it vanished. it reappered twice that night, but only for a few seconds." Two planes that appeared to be "fighter jets" and one helicopter moved into the area - circling the area for about an hour.

CA, August 8, 2009 -  2 Circular lights, one white, one red, separate because the red one moved towards the white back and forth. MUFON Case # 18567.

Two California witnesses at Irvine watched two round objects at the "height of a plane." They report that the "one on the left was white and seemed stationery and the one on the right was red. The red one kept moving like a back and forth motion towards the white one."

CA, January 6, 2009 -  It had a light that traveled acrossed it with red dont blinking at the bottom. MUFON Case # 18565.

A California student with a group of friends report "a giant disc with a light that traveled across it" with "a red blinking dot" at the bottom. The silent object was just 100 feet in the air and traveling at an estimated 5 mph.

CA, July 11, 2009 -  ufo's observing windsurfers. MUFON Case # 18561.

This California photographer stopped to take photos of wind surfers - and later noticed two disc-shaped objects in the photo. Is this really something unusual, or are we looking at birds here shot from just the right angle? The witness photo was cropped and reduced in size. The first object can be seen, although the second object in this reduced version is a little tough to see, but appears to be more distant.

CA, August 7, 2009 - 2 sightings. MUFON Case # 18559.

This California witness first noticed a star-like object at about 40,000 feet moving across the sky. Fifteen minutes later, the witness "heard a distinct and somewhat painful high-pitched sound" and looked up to observe a flash of white light - shaped like a missle - moving soutwest to northeast "at extremely high rate of speed." The object was estimated to be at an altitide of just 500 feet. The object moved through the witnesses' field of vision in one second. The object "seemed to leave a translucent ring trail that glowed for several seconds after the rod/missile passed. I would estimate missle to be 100 ft. in length. Not a meteor, as missle and ring trail were very distinct in shape. Only sound observed was a high-pitched sound and some pain in my left ear."

AZ, August 7, 2009 - Cluster of 6-7 bright lights. MUFON Case # 18534.

An Arizona witness saw a cluster of six to seven lights in the sky about the size of a fist at arm's length.

CO, August 7, 2009 - Multiple bullet shapes all in a row; orange. MUFON Case # 18533.

A Colorado witness said an "extremely fast object shot across the sky" that was described as "probably 7-8 bullet shaped orange items all in a row. They almost looked like one object, not individuals - although it moved so fast I couldn't be sure. It just seemed to disappear as quickly as it appeared. It did not fade away. It just vanished."

TX, August 5, 2009 - 3 bright white light's evenly spaced pulsating then strobbing or ripple effect. MUFON Case # 18530.

A Texas witness noticed three bright white lights moving slowly to the south, but then "the lights began to pulse in unison and then started to strob or a ripple like effect like a police car." The three lights never moved, "like they were part of a solid object," and appeared in a triangle shape. The witness watched the object for about three minutes before it disappered from view.
