A Missouri witness at Warrento reported watching and photographing a “blimp-like” object near the tree line, according to testimony in Case 92800 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
 
The witness was traveling northbound along Stracks Church Road in Warren County at 11:15 a.m. on June 19, 2018.
 
“My business partner (driver) and I (passenger) were heading to our shop, when I caught a quick glimpse of a rather large, blimp-like object, over the tree line to the west-northwest at an estimated distance of about 1.5 miles,” the witness stated. “I asked aloud if he had seen it and his response was no. Upon reaching the next hill we slowed to get a better look, again a brief glimpse before a nearby tree line obstructed view.”
 
The business partner agreed he saw the object as well.
 
“We both agreed it appeared to be in the area of the baseball fields to our northwest. Upon agreement to give chase toward ball fields, as our elevation would allow, we maintained brief visuals of the object. It appeared as a dull metallic color, with a rather reflective area in the center to the rear. Our estimation of size was very large, approximately 400-600 feet long and 75-100 tall with a tapering aft.”
 
As they pursued the object, they noticed the object had put significant distance between them in a matter of minutes.
 
“He and I also noticed it now appeared more north than west, so we assumed it traveled north in that time. When we reached the ball fields, our view was now unobstructed. We located the object which was now due west and a considerable distance from us. My business partner was able to zoom in maximum with his phone’s camera and got one photo just prior to the object pitching to about 40-degrees and disappearing behind the tree line a few hundred yards out in front of us. The object was never more than slightly above the tree line on the horizon of our view, so I have to assume it was less than 500 feet off the ground. Also the profile never changed despite the noticeable changes in direction of travel. At the time of the photo, the skies were clear, and the object was at what we believe to be max visibility at the time. The distance it was covering was remarkable. It disappeared from view, and never returned. The entire event lasted four to five minutes.”
 
Missouri MUFON Chief Investigator Joe Palermo and State Director Debbie Ziegelmeyer closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Object.

An Idaho witness at Ada County reported watching a cube-shaped object with spinning lights, according to testimony in Case 92802 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was looking at the sky before going to bed at 11:30 p.m. on June 17, 2018.

“I saw a large UFO that was swirling and darting up and down and from side-to-side,” the witness stated. “This occurred low over a mountainside located one to one and-a-half miles from my cabin. I took several videos of the UFO between 11:30 p.m. and 2:40 a.m. The video I’m submitting is 9 minutes long.”

This is not the first time the witness saw a UFO.

“I’ve lived at this cabin for nearly nine years. During that time, on clear nights, star-like UFOs can be seen, numbering from two to seven. I have been told such activity is unlikely, but it’s what I’ve seen and there have been neighbors, friends and family who’ve witnessed them as well. They hover, rather than remain stationary, and can sometimes be seen moving slowly across the night sky. Several times I have seen them drop down to the mountainside, and on occasion, dart back and forth across the night sky. They flash and swirl blue, green and red in the middle and display white, brilliant light on the top and bottom.

“Recently activity at this location has increased. I became aware of it when videoing the sunset on April 24, 2018. When I watched the video, there were three orbs; one large, one directly below it which was smaller, and the last orb which was smaller yet. They moved in synchronicity, as if tethered together. I was certain it was a fluke; that maybe my camera was defective. It’s what I wanted to believe. But the following night at dusk, I took another video and caught several black discs and more orbs, which are gray in color and appear to be nearly transparent.  I have been filming nightly at dusk since April 24 and in all but one video black discs, gray orbs, or both, are caught on video. I have also captured video of black shape-changing UFOs on three separate occasions. I have video and pictures of them. Over the past two weeks, I viewed another UFO that was triangular with red glowing lights along the top and bottom edges on two separate occasions. It was too dark to get a video of it, but I did get a photo of the object.

“If someone told me what I’ve written to you here, I’d have a hard time believing it. However, I’ve taken videos each night at dusk, and each time, the objects are there. I would be happy to send you what I have; both videos and pictures. What’s most important is to have someone investigate (at least the videos and pictures) of what I’m seeing and to receive an investigator’s opinion, no matter the outcome. The videos range from 5 minutes to 20 minutes in length. I am not technically savvy enough to edit them into shorter videos, and have tried to capture stills, but was not successful. I would need to download them to a flash drive to get them to you.”

Idaho MUFON State Director James Millard closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

A Missouri witness on a fight from Houston to Chicago photographed a triangle-shaped UFO, according to testimony in Case 92483 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was flying on American Airlines flight 3996 Houston to Chicago at 2:30 p.m. on June 1, 2018.

“About halfway through the flight (over Missouri) I was photographing storm anvils for use as desktop wallpaper,” the witness stated. “Our flight was at about 36 to 38,000 feet. Immediately after taking three pictures in about 10 seconds, the craft appeared suddenly to the east of flight path at about 50,000 feet from nowhere as if some Star Trek ‘de-cloaking’ scene.”

The witness immediately took another photo of the craft.

“Three seconds later the craft went ballistic to the south and ascending. So fast that the track was almost imperceptible. From stationary to like light speed disappearance up and reverse of our flight path which would be south. Sun was west of our airplane and so was not causing a reflection or spot on window or lens of camera phone. Craft had a triangular shape to it and must have been very large as I had been watching out the window and observing airliners crossing our flight path for about an hour so was used to what winged planes looked like and how fast they would become visible and then pass out of view. Got used to the shape and look of normal airliners and this one that suddenly appeared in an area I had just been watching and photographing for the last few minutes. It had no time to have made its way into my field of view at normal speeds of 300 to 500 mph. Just appeared and after shooting it, I lowered the camera phone to observe with just my eyes and it suddenly went light speed ballistic at an angle which could only be up and reverse of our path. Was there for about three seconds and then shot out of the scene in less than a second.”

The witness has an aircraft background.

“I was a small craft pilot in my youth and worked at NASA for many years at JSC in Houston so have a fairly good experience base with things that fly and what looks materially manifest versus what is ghost imaging or reflective anomalies. Never seen or heard of anything like this in shape or performance. And, I knew many astronauts and test pilots during my tenure at NASA. As with many of these occurrences it happened so fast that I was lucky to capture anything at all and the picture is too blurry for me to accentuate it with Photoshop, so I am including the raw shot off of my camera unadulterated by me in any way. All of this happened in blue clear sky above cumulus clouds far below both craft.”

Missouri MUFON State Director Debbie Ziegelmeyer closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

​A Nevada witness at Las Vegas reported watching three metal objects moving at high speed above a fireworks display, according to testimony in Case 89317 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The incident occurred just “five minutes” after midnight on January 1, 2018, along the Las Vegas strip.

“I was enjoying watching the fireworks show for New Year’s,” the witness stated. “I saw three objects, metal-looking type, no lights, flying very fast and noticeable in the direction I was looking.”

The witness shot video and took still photos from an iPhone.

“The objects were traveling south at supersonic speed. Total time lapse of video was five seconds. Objects had no lights and were none of the following: helicopter, plane, aircraft military. Objects were just looking oval-shaped and changing directions as they were moving and defying the laws of physics and gravity.”

The witness provided several photographs and has video for the investigator too.

 Nevada MUFON State Director Sue Countiss closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

A Kansas witness at Hesston reported watching a silent, triangle-shaped object just above 500 feet with three white lights at its points and one red light centered on its bottom, according to testimony in Case 93741 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was sitting in his company parking lot watching cloud lightning as a storm passed at 5:35 a.m. on July 29, 2018.

“Noticed lights coming into view out of driver window above car,” the witness stated. “Spent a few minutes trying to make out what it was. Traveling roughly at 5 knots. A couple flashes of cloud lightning in the distance showed the shape of the triangle with no facets or edge differences of any of the three sides, three straight lines only. Continued to follow storm until view was obstructed by parking lot lights. Moved slow and in a perfect straight line. I had no assumption of what it was, thought possibly a life watch helicopter until the rest of the lights came into view. No sound that I heard.”

MUFON Kansas State Director Stan Seba closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

“Dark triangular object that reflected light, appeared solid, and had an outline,” Seba wrote in his report. “The surface was dark, with no structural features.  Actual size is indeterminate. The object had white lights with one red light in the center with dark surfaces. The exterior lights were unwavering.  The elevation of the object was above 500 feet. The object was at least 501 feet away to one mile away from the witness. Object flew in a straight-line path. Object was first and last seen in the northeast by east direction.”

Hesston is a city in Harvey County, Kansas, population 3,709.

A Nevada witness at North Las Vegas reported watching multiple objects moving overhead at different altitudes, according to testimony in Case 92673 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The event began about 2:11 a.m. on June 11, 2018, when the witness and a girlfriend stepped out onto a porch to smoke.

“Hovering about 500 feet high and one-quarter mile down range,” the witness stated. “No clouds or wind. The object rotated about two or three revolutions per minute. On one axis the object was diamond-shaped with a cross inside the diamond. Both the diamond and cross radiated red, green and white light. On the other axis it appeared as a solid white line. No audial sound.”
About a minute later, the witness spotted another identical object at the same altitude but three-to-five miles away.

“At this point a private Cessna-style plane flew behind the closest object and I could hear the motor noise from the plane. Then out of the corner of my eye a third object, in the shape of a Sargent’s stripe with five circular, red lights flew a straight line path across the whole Vegas valley at the same altitude as the first two in three-to-five seconds and passed between me and the first object spotted. The valley spans 25 miles.”

Both witnesses got into a vehicle to get a closer look.

​A Canadian witness at Hamilton, Ontario, reported watching a cylinder-shaped object moving across the sky at 500 feet, according to testimony in Case 85204 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The event occurred at 9:43 p.m. on July 16, 2017.

“The object went from southwest to southeast and made no noise,” the witness stated. “My daughter said it was probably a Chinese lantern floating but it was going from east to west and the wind always comes up from the States from the southeast. It would have turned the object in the direction of the wind if it were a Chinese lantern. One blow up picture I included shows a donut shape and you could see the sky through it at times.”

The object was moving close to ground level.

“It travelled about maybe 500 feet above ground and had no flashing lights like a plane. It had a metallic, cone-shaped top and what looked like a glass cylinder center and what looked like two metallic tubes under the object as TV cable and then a telephone cable.”

Canadian MUFON Field Investigator Angelina Palmisano closed this case as an Unknown – Other.

A Florida witness at Cooper City reported capturing a disc-shaped object while taking a photo of the moon, according to testimony in Case 84752 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was in her backyard taking photos of the moon at 10:02 p.m. on July 1, 2017. The woman’s child filed the report for her.

“It sat nicely just beyond the palm trees in her backyard,” the reporting witness stated. “As she focused and snapped the first photo of the moon, she noticed a light zoom into view for a second or less as if the object got into place to be viewed in the photo. This happened so quick that the object appeared for that photo and then disappeared. She did not see any other movements except for the time it zoomed into place. It happened so fast that it was an accident on her part.”

The witness examined the photo.

“After zooming on the photo, I noticed a very bright, white light lining the entire outside edge of what seems to be a disc-shaped object. Also, above the lights you can see a dark, sloping outline and below the lights there seems to be some kind of object protruding out with more lights on it. The object could be upside down. The object seemed to be above the clouds when viewing the photo so it is difficult to guess on the size.”

Florida MUFON Pete Tirado closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.
