An Oregon witness at Keizer reported a 1962 encounter he had as a 13-year-old when a triangle-shaped object hovered just 40 feet overhead, according to testimony in Case 96936 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was outside “hoeing strawberries” across from his home along Windsor Island Road when the incident began.

“It was on a Saturday afternoon around 2 p.m. and towards the last part of May or early June,” the witness stated. “School was not out for the summer yet. I was alone in the field when I heard a buzzing, humming noise that gradually grew louder. And the first thing I thought of was that a swarm of bees was heading my way. My father always told me to hit the ground and lay flat if we heard a buzzing noise because it could be a swarm of bees, and that was just what I did.”

The witness assumed the sound was the result of bees.

“I didn't think to look for them until I was laying on the ground, with my hands covering my head, and when I finally did get brave enough to look towards the sound coming from the west, I didn't see any bees, but the noise kept up and was now coming from above me.”
The witness finally looked up.

“I saw a huge, huge, huge black triangle-shaped object hovering just above me, around a hundred feet or so. It wasn't moving, but the buzzing, humming sound was still there. Then the object started to come down towards me. I was so scared, I didn't think to get up and run. I just figured I was a goner, so I just covered my head again, waiting. When I looked up again it had stopped about 40 feet above me. It stayed there for short while and then it turned to my right, tilted up some and moved towards the sky. While it was moving upwards and away from me, it swiveled again towards the east and then it went so fast, that it was gone out of sight, just like that.”
​
The witness watched the object move away.

A British witness at Hemel Hempstead reported watching a triangular-shaped object under 500 feet with an invested, lit-up dome, according to testimony in Case 89653 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The event occurred beginning at 3:35 a.m. on January 17,2018.

“A bright light came through bedroom curtain,” the witness stated. “A triangular vehicle was spotted gliding in a straight line. Underneath the vehicle was an inverted, lit dome virtually touching the three sides. The inverted dome had arched ribs from bottom to top with a center pillar projecting a bright light.”

The witness said he had a perfect view of the object until it disappeared over nearby buildings.

“My first reaction was it was a strange plane out of Luton Airport, then immediately realized it was not a normal aircraft.”

United Kingdom Assistant National Director Michael Price closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

​An Arizona witness at Buckeye reported watching a circle-shaped object moving under 1,000 feet at high velocity that made no noise, according to testimony in Case 93454 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The incident occurred when the reporting witness and his wife were setting up a telescope in a local park on a full moon at 11:15 p.m. on June 28, 2018.

“Before the telescope was fully set up, a vertically-aligned, donut-ringed object with yellow-orange light/surface appeared below the moon traveling from southeast to northwest at extremely high velocity and low altitude, roughly 500-1000 feet AGL,” the witness stated. “The object made absolutely no sound but at closest approach was within one mile of our vantage point/location.”
​
The witness is a United States Air Force veteran and Special Operations intelligence analyst who previously held a top-secret with caveats clearance.

A Canadian witness at Joliette reported watching a “non-symmetrical” object that hovered, turned and disappeared, according to testimony in Case 92792 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was driving to work at 7:10 a.m. on June 19, 2018, when the event occurred.

“Really blue sky, not a single cloud,” the witness stated. “I checked the sky thinking it was a plane, but it was stationary. It was metallic and very reflective. It had a weird shape, asymmetrical. I thought to myself: '’What is that?’ And then it made a light spin on itself and then it vanished, like when it was turning itself on, the movement was like facing a piece of paper, and then when you turn it, you don’t see it cause it’s so flat. It was a bit like that. It was bigger than a small plane and very stationary, very metallic.”

When turning, the object disappeared.

“I was checking the sky two or three minutes in that area after, and never saw it again. It’s impossible. It really was a solid object in the sky, solid, reflective, a bit like a plane, but planes don’t disappear like that. I made a drawing of the shape and size in the sky. It’s really hard to explain the shape. It was standing straight, right side was flat, and the left side was curvy a bit like the number three in reverse.”
​
Canadian Field Investigator Allen Des Roches closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

“The staff of the Joliette Airport (northwest and clear sky) confirms to me that it could have landings or takeoffs at the time of the observation. Is not a plane or a drone. The object looks flat and is silvery and transparent in color, stationary and reflecting, then turns abruptly and disappears.”

A Colorado witness at Colorado Springs reported watching five low-flying objects hover and move around their home for more than an hour, according to testimony in Case 92568 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The incident began about 10:30 p.m. on June 7, 2018.

“My daughter and I went outside to smoke a cigarette, and we like to look at the night sky anyway,” the reporting witness stated. “We have seen objects in the sky off and on for months now anyway.”

The two were standing by a back door when they looked to their right and noticed a larger and brighter light hovering over the tree tops across the street, and then another one that was not as bright higher and to the right of the first.

“Then we saw another one start moving right over us in a straight line, no noise, and in a complete straight line until it stopped over by our back yard, where it stopped, and hovered. There was also one that stopped over our heads, made no noise, and hovered there. And one more that was a little distance away from the one hovering over us and it also sat in the sky.”

All the crafts had a small extension on the bottom.

“But only two shined brighter, and one was giving off red and white colors. We watched for about 15 minutes, put the dog inside, and watched for a few more minutes, and then went in our home.”

The two stepped back outside about 45 minutes later and three of the objects were still there.

“My daughter tried to video, but when it didn't come out very well as it was so dark outside, she deleted it before I could stop her. We were not afraid and did not feel threatened. We were also not surprised as I have seen craft since I was a kid. And since moving from Denver to Pueblo a couple of years ago we have seen craft numerous times, especially when we lived in Pueblo West. We saw craft all the time over the reservoir.”

Colorado Field Investigators Richard Evans and Deborah Evans closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

A Mississippi witness at Panola County reported watching a cylinder-shaped object hovering over a local church that seemed to cause nausea, according to testimony in Case 92469 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The event occurred at 6:45 a.m. on June 3, 2018.

“I was heading to pick up my girlfriend from work,” the witness stated. “I taking was the back way through town to avoid red lights. On my way I passed by a church. I saw it in the sky above the church and thought it was my eyes at first because it was early in the morning. But I stopped at a nearby stop sign and looked back to make sure it wasn't my eyes. And it was still there hovering over the church.”

The witness described the movement of the object.

“It shifted slightly to the side and then shot straight up with more speed than anything I've ever seen. There was cloud cover, but it made no disturbance to the clouds as it vanished into them afterwards.”

The witness experienced an illness following the event.

“I have been having unusual ringing in my ears and sickness to my stomach.”

A New York witness at Springville reported driving away from a hovering “saucer-like flying object” as the vehicle’s radio cut out, according to testimony in Case 92447 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The incident occurred at 1:30 a.m. on June 3, 2018.

“Initially thought lights were dim stars or a star covered with clouds,” the witness stated. “Realized lights were too close to ground. Lights pulsated and appeared to be on the outside of a saucer-like, flying object.”

The object appeared to affect the vehicle’s electronics.

“Radio cut out as I was driving in the direction of object and got closer. Made me fearful. Thankfully, I had to turn to get home which took me away from where the object was hovering. I turned and did not look back.”

​New York MUFON Field Investigator Christopher DePerno closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.​

​A Montana witness near Great Falls reported that a contact on the Malmstrom Air Force Base described a 10-minute power outage after a circular-shaped object “over a half-acre in size” hovered over the base,” according to testimony in Case 89785 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The event occurred on January 24, 2018.

“My base contact described the object only as black,” the reporting witness stated. “If contacted, Malmstrom AFB will confirm the power outage but nothing more. Investigators are on their way. Last sighting was in May 2017. This source is reliable and confirmed as am I.”
The witness describes himself as a retired police detective “not given to exaggerations.”

The filed report indicates the object was black in color with no structural features. The object size was larger than 300 feet. No exterior lights. No emissions. The object was hovering at less than 500 feet in altitude. The object was over one mile away from the witness. No landing was observed.

MUFON CAG Investigator Marie Cisneros and Montana State Director John Gagnon closed this case as Information Only.

Investigators contacted the media relations department at Malmstrom and did not receive a reply. The power outage may have been limited to the launch site area and not the entire base. 

“Ruled out for astronomical or weather anomalies,” Cisneros and Gagnon stated in their report. “Ruled out for bolides or fireball activity. Ruled out for obvious hoax.

“Our conclusion: Unidentified object. Size, shape, flight pattern and path does not fit with known conventional aircraft. Because this was reported by someone other than the witness, this case has to be filed as an Information Only unless further information is forthcoming by the witness.”
​
Malmstrom Air Force Base is in Cascade County, Montana, adjacent to Great Falls. It is the home of the 341st Missile Wing (341 MW) of the Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC). As a census-designated place, it has a population of 3,472.

An Indiana witness at Leo recalled a UFO encounter from 2013 after taking an unusual route to her night shift work along a dark country road, according to testimony in Case 95295.

The witness was driving to work just after 10:15 p.m. on June 7, 2013, moving between Leo and Fort Wayne.

“Going down my usual route, I suddenly and abruptly made a sharp turn down a dark country road I never take to work,” the witness stated. “I wondered why I turned, so mindlessly and quickly. Instead of simply looking for a place to turn around, I decided to continue and take the totally different and longer route to work.”

The witness soon sped up to about 50-60 mph, so she would not be late to work.

“Shortly after turning down this road and starting to speed down it, I passed a line of trees or chunk of dark woods that ended like a wind break. After I passed them, to my right, I immediately saw floating, hovering, an honest-to-God-looking UFO style craft.”

The witness slammed on her brakes and made a dead stop in the road.

“I stared at it trying to understand in my mind what it really was – thinking what it could besides a UFO. I'm not sure how long this lasted but maybe a minute. Enough time for me to go through the possibilities in my head and be awestruck by its structure and make note of it.”
The witness said she was shocked.

Telepathy has a running history in the study of UFOs when witnesses testify they communicate with non-human entities without speaking. Eleven of the 241 cases logged into the recently-released book, UFO Cases of Interest, from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), include testimony the witness communicated or somehow interacted with the object.

Some describe telepathy, others intuition, the ability to summon a craft, or where the object reacts to the witness in some way.

Testimony varies and includes reports like this first case in January 2017 when the witness suggests the object was “summoned.”

A Mississippi witness at Canton reported watching and videotaping a group of “glowing, hovering orbs,” according to testimony in Case 81498.

The witness was standing outside talking to a neighbor at 1:21 p.m. on January 9, 2017.

“I saw this orb start flying around,” the witness stated. “It disappeared. Then when it reappeared, it came back with 15 more. It swirled above us for a few seconds and then disappeared.”

The witness says this is the second time she has seen UFOs and that she had summoned them.

“I know how to do it. The first time I did it, I saw the orbs, but then they morphed into a bird-like creature with white bodies and black tipped wings but continued to glow. They swirled above me and my neighbor, flew into a formation and then disappeared.”

Mississippi MUFON Field Investigator Richard Hoffman investigated this case and closed it as an Unknown-Other.
