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.”
​
Tom Wertman for Mississippi MUFON investigated this case and closed it was an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

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.

​UFO encounters may be frightening as witnesses observe never-before-seen objects moving in incredible ways. But some sightings are further stressed when the object morphs into different shapes.

Four shape-shifting UFO sightings were listed in the recently-released book, UFO Cases of Interest: 2018 Edition, by the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).

A New Mexico witness at Albuquerque reported watching a boomerang-shaped object just 500 feet away that hovered and seemed to change shape while moving, according to testimony in Case 82456.

The witness was outside walking north on a lunch break at 12:30 p.m. on March 2, 2017.

“A light gray shape caught my eye,” the witness stated. “The object was approximately 500 feet away, and about 50 feet in the air over a building. At first, I thought it was a flock of birds, and I said, ‘That's interesting. What kind of birds would those be?’ It seemed to be moving east in a slow flutter. Then it disappeared, like it folded back into the sky.”

The witness thought that was strange.

​Filmmaker Jeremy Corbell released documentary “Hunt for the Skinwalker” to a motivated, anxious and often salivating audience on iTunes September 11, 2018.

The eager response was triggered by the idea of a film version of scientist Colm A. Kelleher and journalist George Knapp’s 2005 book of the same name that detailed a private industry study of a Utah ranch where paranormal and UFO activity was rampant. The family who purchased the ranch endured a series of bizarre interactions with unseen forces. They stayed just short of two years.

Now inject the idea that private industry took the situation seriously and deployed seasoned scientists to study the ongoing events and report back on exactly what the unseen forces were. But as it turns out, those unseen forces weren’t having any of that.

“Something lurks,” Corbell says in the film, “and if you hunt it, it hunts you back.”

A French witness at Burnhaupt le Bas reported watching a hovering silver sphere that quickly disappeared, according to testimony in Case 86596 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was driving on double-lane RN 83 toward Mulhouse at 8:02 p.m. on July 28, 2017. The testimony and investigator’s notes were translated from French with Google Translator.

“Suddenly I saw a huge silver or chrome sphere that was very polished (shiny) in the sky right in front of me,” the witness stated. “She appeared like that, suddenly. I immediately eliminated the possibility that it was a plane, a helicopter, a hot-air balloon or other. She was huge and was hovering. As the RN 83 is downhill at this point, the sphere was straight on the horizon in front of me, so no need to lift the head, and much larger than when I see the moon or the sun in the sky. I was at the same time on the phone and told my interlocutor, live. The sky had absolutely no clouds. I unlocked my iPhone, which was paused, wanted to take a picture, but it stubbornly refused to take it while my storage capacity is still great. I was stubborn and there, the photo button was gone from my screen Then, I wanted to take a video in speed because the sphere was deteriorated since my essay photo, like a hologram, which starting from its center, disappeared or disintegrated, and instead I saw the blue sky, as if the sky filled the sphere. Remained only as a pretty thick hoop (the thick contours of the sphere) and at the moment when I clicked to activate the video mode, the sphere disappeared instantaneously all at once, leaving only an immense azure sky, as before its appearance. Then, a few seconds later, I saw, but much farther and higher in the sky, a whitish and perfectly circular cloud, which at first was very distant, then came closer, but while staying far away. In no case could it be the moon because she was on the other side. I can easily take a picture of where I was if you want, maybe you can get a picture of its approximate size (huge).”

France MUFON National Director Pascal Fechner closed this case as an Unknown – Other.
