UFO Sighting Reports
California-08-11-08-Off of Highway 33 by Ojai in California by the 21 mile mark up the Highway towards Rose Valley, we saw an unusual flying object. It looked as if it was hovering in the air the same way a person would tread water. It had an usual flight pattern. It would go straight up and down, in a quick zig-zag motion.
It changed its color from white like a star, to something with a little colored light. The lights appeared to shine in a fluorescent gray-white color to other colors. It appeared to look like a a star and later another craft smaller appeared underneath it. The second craft flew in our direction and then took off. We saw the first craft hover for at least an hour. We went up there to see the meteor shower.
We saw four meteors, and there is a big difference between a comet and a flying object that hovers and appears to be in the same position until it suddenly zig-zags or changes its color or flies straight up or down. I was glad to see the comet, but was definitely not expecting to see this unusual UFO. source: http://ufos.about.com
California-08-18-08-I was on the computer and had a feeling to go outside, which I do every night. I asked my husband to come out also. We went out to the back yard, and I looked up, but didn't see anything, so I went out further and then a plane went by, which we heard, but then this bright light the size of a plane without wings came over.
It was faster than a plane, not like a jet nor a helicopter, because we see these all the time, living near an airport. We have also seen the space station, but this was much closer. What made us think it was a UFO was because it went brighter, stopped, and just stayed there for a few seconds, maybe a minute. We were shocked and thrilled at the same time. source: www.mufon.com
Illinois-09-17-08-I was taking the dog out for her last bathroom run in the back yard. When I turned to the south to go back in, I noticed the light over the roof of the house. I am familiar with the night sky in my area, and this was a new light in the sky. Even with my vision, I could notice it was flashing red, green, and white. I took the dog back in and got my binoculars, and continued to view the object. I went into the house and had my wife come to look at it. She saw it as well. After she left I continued to observe it for another 20 minutes.
Intermittent cloud cover moved in and obscured the stars, but the object was still visible. It was apparently below cloud level. After watching for another 15-20 minutes, the light suddenly vanished. I waited until a break in the clouds, and located the surrounding stars, but the flashing light was gone. source: www.mufon.com
Pennsylvania-08-15-08-I had just come from seeing my fiance at super break (between 8-9 PM on Friday 15th of August, 2008) on the bypass 220 coming from State College, PA to Bellefonte. Going on 220 is where I saw it. The sky was clear and it was starting to get dark, but you could still see all of the sky. There were two clouds, one was bigger than the other on top of this lime plant close to Pleasant Gap.
I really did not think much about it. I thought maybe it was lightening, but I noticed it did not move. On top of it not moving, it also started to shoot colorful lights from it like a boomerang shape. So I do not know the shape of it because it was hiding behind the 2 clouds, but it went back and forth from the shaping of the lights coming out of the clouds. I do not know what happened to the lights because I was traveling on a main highway. I was on the highway for at least 5 minutes.
These lights in the clouds would show for 20 seconds and then vanish, then reappear a minute later. I lost sight of it when I got off the Bellefonte, 2nd exit. I thought it was crazy because it was right in clear view of the highway and I could not be the only one seeing this. source: www.mufon.com
Rhode Island-08-16-08-I was walking on the track on the field at East Providence Senior High School on Pawtucket Ave, in the city of East Providence, Rhode Island. I was completing a lap around the track, when I noticed a black sphere approaching from the southwest and traveling in a northeasterly direction.
I stopped walking and paused to see what type of bird, plane, rocket or balloon it might be. It took me about 10 seconds to rule out an eagle or hawk, and another 15 seconds to rule out a balloon, and as the sphere got closer, it was obvious that it wasn't a helicopter, there was no thumping sound or loud turbine sound. The object did make a sound, but it wasn't a sound that I can reference to anything I have heard before.
The sphere was traveling at a speed around 250 miles per hour and on a horizontal, linear path. The black metallic sphere was traveling below cloud cover, and at an altitude that I have commonly seen commercial airplanes taking when they pass over East Providence and head to Green Air Port in Warwick Rhode Island. source: www.mufon.com
That will be it for this week, but come back next week for more sighting reports. Until then, keep your eyes on the skies.
