New York – Giant Flying Wing

HUDSON RIVER -- Architect Laurence Owen called to report that he and his wife and had seen a giant flying wing craft hovering above the Hudson River on August 12, 2004. The architect, his wife and a friend were riding in a cab driving down the West River Drive looking towards New Jersey near the former World Trade Center at 8:45 PM, when they noticed several commercial aircraft heading towards the New York Airports flying at several thousand feet altitude. A huge V shaped craft was just hovering above the Hudson River as the aircraft flew by. The V-shaped craft was at least twice as big as the commercial aircraft and had six or eight lights on its rear perimeter inside the V. There were also two lights on the front of the large object. Laurence held his arm up and the thumb on his outstretched hand covered the huge craft. The craft was hovering near the World Trade Center Site, but over the water. They saw the craft for two minutes until it went behind a building and disappeared. Phone interview. QUEENS, NEW YORK CITY-Marian Yancey, Field Investigator writes, "On Saturday evening, August 7, 2004, we were at a party and saw a neighbor let go of three or four balloons that we saw gaining altitude at 7:45 PM." They were silver-like those metallic balloons. But, then I saw three yellow lights in formation moving through the clouds. Well, the clouds broke up there was no body to the "plane"-- just the lights right there in the daylight sky (it was still light out). I thought of balloons tied together but these lights did not bob like balloon and the angle was wrong for the sun to reflect on them to cause them to glow. It was in a patch of sky above a house on 115th Street right off Lefferts Boulevard. The lights were high in the sky, and glowed a golden yellow color and resembled the lights one would see on an airplane except they were the wrong color. They even had a similar type of relationship to one another -- one at the leading edge and two behind and slightly outward on either side of the leading light.

New Jersey- Neon-Blue Disk

CAPE MAY – On August 3, 2004, a married couple was sitting on the beach while on vacation at the southern tip of New Jersey when they saw a neon-blue disk with many lights on the bottom. The wife reports, "My husband and I were talking when I caught sight of a neon-blue disk at 10:30 PM, which looked like a child's sand sifter with thousands of holes which were illuminated with white light. It passed by extremely fast and disappeared behind what could have been a cloud, but there were none out that evening. The sky was clear and full of stars. The craft was relative to the size of a full moon. I did not hear any sound with seeing the object. About ten minutes later, I saw a shooting star and in comparison, this did not even come close. It was definitely too fast to be an airplane and the neon-blue/lights as well as fact that it disappeared made me frightened at first, but then curious so I sat there for another half an hour hoping to see something else.

The small black cone with point down was suspended in the air. The object was positioned a couple hundred feet in the air over Middlesex Mall. The cone was small and featureless, without lights, etc, and was probably too small to hold a human sized passenger. On the bottom of the cone was a small mass which tapered downward. The cone was absolutely still and made no sounds. I could see a small aircraft in the distance beyond the cone which was turning toward the cone in my line of sight. By the time the observer turned around in traffic the cone had disappeared entirely. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/

Pennsylvania - Disk

ALLENTOWN – The witnesses were at Dorney Park on July 29, 2004; and at 4 PM, took photos of a helicopter flying by with their digital camera. Later, when we looked at the photo there was a disc like object next to the helicopter. The witness claims, "Prior to taking the picture even while taken it I saw nothing except the copter, but it is in the picture." After viewing the picture of the helicopter, we saw a disc shaped object next to the copter. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/

North Carolina - Formation

WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH – Three to four objects were seen moving around each other for over an hour over the beach on August 1, 2004 at 3:30 AM. There were three objects and sometimes a fourth object joins them. There were dancing lights in basically a triangle pattern. They move and pulse dimming and/or moving to and away. One was white, one bluish-white which is the smallest shifted to red at times, one bright yellow (the largest) shifting to soft yellow-white and fades to more blue but the full moon affects its color changes as if it is reflecting moonlight. This one has a specific shape to it like a five pointed star. A fourth one shows up every now and then appears like a tiny red dot that darts forward and away. The triangle pattern seems to rotate around itself mainly clockwise. At 4:50 AM, they are in more of a line pattern and nearly 90 degrees overhead. There were thunderheads overhead sprinkles of rain the whole time. The formation of them changes and rotates and has been going on the whole hour and a half at this point. These are bright enough to often show through the thunderheads. At 4:58 AM, they flew back to 60 degrees up. Lights are still here but I am heading back since I am starting to get really rained on. Objects still darting and shifting brightness. Objects seem to be unaffected by the weather. I am a Christian and having trouble explaining what I am looking at.

Florida – Flying Triangle

VERO BEACH -- A bright white sphere of light 45 degrees from horizon changing into three smaller lights when closer to the ground was observed on July 29, 2004. The light was too large and close to be a star at 8:30 PM. The light hovered above and returned to the bridge in the opposite direction. Twenty minutes later I saw a similar bright white light moving and then dim. After ten minutes I heard a noise from behind, and saw a boomerang shaped triangle shadowed by three circular lights. Turning around we witnessed a swarm of these objects flying very close to the ground. They were too large to be flying so close together. The swarm of these objects was what was in the farther distance 10 minutes prior to the incident. http://www.ufocenter.com/

Tennessee – Pulsating light

BAXTER -- MUFON State Director, Kim Shaffer received a call that a married couple had witnessed a strange object at about 8:30 PM, on August 9, 2004. They were sitting on their deck enjoying the twilight when to their due south, they saw a star like object rising from the horizon. This object was very bright, several times brighter than Venus at its greatest magnitude. The witnesses are familiar with astronomical objects. As the object rose to about 45 degrees, it pulsated very brightly then held position for about ten minutes when it suddenly took off westward at very high speed and disappeared. I find this sighting interesting because these witnesses are intelligent, educated people who have never seen any such object previously.

Missouri – Fifty Mechanical Devices in Sky

JOPLIN – A 37 year old Engineering Technician with a consulting engineering firm with degrees in CADD and Management and in an MBA program reports, "During my daughter's 14th birthday party on July 31, 2004, my wife (36), kids (14, 9, 5), mother (73) and friends were outside when my wife came in to ask me to go out and tell her what something was." My 9 year old son had spotted some white spots in the sky at 6:15 PM. When I first saw the spots, they were very small and I only saw two or three. They looked to be at a very high altitude. As I scanned the sky, I saw at least 50 of the spots overhead. I ran in to get some binoculars and then observed them. They appeared to have white mushrooms on the top and bottom, connected by a dark cylinder and the mushrooms were spinning. They were not in a recognizable formation, but seemed to be equidistance from each other, randomly scattered. As they moved from east to west, they were obscured by some very high, wispy clouds. After all were no longer visible, there was one larger (or at lower altitude) device that seemed to move away, then it too disappeared from sight. The local police had no reports of this and the local news station is investigating. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/

New Mexico -- Silver Sphere

ALBUQUERQUE -- At 2 PM, on August 3, 2004, a couple and their friend were driving east of Albuquerque on Highway 40, when they witnessed a shiny silver sphere fly over a mountain top at a high rate of speed. The observer states, "It then came to a complete stop, hovered a few seconds and then seemed to float away from our position into a cloud partially concealing itself." It then reappeared on the other side of the cloud to our left, hovered, then disappeared from sight. At the time of the sighting we were driving in our vehicle and captured the entire incident on a digital camcorder. Played back in slow motion, aircraft, weather balloons and stars can be ruled out. It was early afternoon, a few clouds and blue skies. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/

California - Disk and Diamond

MOJAVE – The witness reports a bright light from the west came close within a few feet then shot into hyper speed to the north at 2:30 AM, on July 27, 2004. He states, "I was in my backyard when I saw, a diamond shaped dark/faintly lighted object coming out of the sky towards me." When I noticed the craft it was on the side of the brick wall where I was standing. When it came within five feet of me it started to slow down. I thought it could maybe be someone playing with a flashlight on a bicycle, but when I looked over the brick wall, I saw only the light and nothing else that could be causing the strange glowing object. Then, it took off quickly in a northern direction. Fifteen to twenty minutes later, I went into a hypnotic trance and my memory became impaired for about 6 to 7 hours. http://www.ufocenter.com/ PALM SPRINGS – The observer saw a bright object in the western sky over the San Jacinto Mts. shoot a colored orb from its body at 5:00 AM, on July 28, 2004.The object has been observed for the past several days. It only appears sometime between 3:00 and 5:00 AM. At this time I also observed two colored orbs that pulsated green, red, and blue. They were very visible through my binoculars and they appeared to be circular or saucer shape. I lowered my binoculars and watched the sky, from the bright light orb shot a colored orb. I woke up my husband, who used the binoculars and saw the colored orbs as well. Three more orbs approached (smaller than the two already in sight) and lined up vertically between the two larger colored orbs. As I watched, the large white orb slowly ascended higher into the sky as well as the colored orbs. I know they are ascending slowly because the mountains are my scale, they appear initially just over the mountain and as the hour goes by, they slowly ascend upwards until they disappear into the sky. I think that what I am witnessing is very unusual and warrants further investigation. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/

Canada - Circle Inside "Smoke Ring" Cloud

SASKATOON – The witness was outside working with his notebook computer as thunderclouds started building on July 30, 2004. He states, "I leaned back at 12:30 PM and looked straight up into the sky and directly overhead, there was a smoke ring, about the size of my thumbnail held at arm's length. It was perfectly circular and appeared to be swirling inward on itself. In the center of the smoke ring was a gray dot or small circle. At first, the dot was almost as large as the area inside the smoke ring, about the size of a fingernail at arm's length. Over the next several seconds, the gray dot appeared to get smaller, and then disappeared. The smoke ring remained, but gradually dissipated. Thanks to Brian Vike http://www.hbccufo.com/ PORT COLBORNE -- On August 1, 2004, the witness who has twenty years of investigative/security background, and served as a military policeman reports a strange cigar shaped object with rectangular wings moving slowly at low altitude at 5:45 PM. The wings were longer than the body of craft (individually longer) and the wings were wider than the width of the craft. It looked much like a satellite with the traditional solar panel. The body of the craft was white with the center appearing darker. Wings also appeared white but difficult to judge because it was reflecting the sun's light as it flew northwest. It flew slower than a Beech craft-type but faster than a blimp. Thanks to Brian Vike http://www.hbccufo.com/

UK/Scotland - Rectangular Shaped Object

GLASGOW – The witness claims an extremely frightening experience as he walked in Paisley with his dog near the Glasgow airport on July 27, 2004, when he saw an object flash for about a minute along the sky, This was an extremely large, completely silent rectangular object with its corners cut round like a playing card at 9:10 PM. It was white with very bright white patches which seemed to move across it's surface as if torch beams were being aimed onto it. It flew about 20 feet to the west, then another twenty and then it was gone. It wasn't a constant motion, it was like blinking. I'm usually a rational person and have never believed in anything like alien life, but after thinking about this for a couple of hours I can't put any explanation to it. It was so close to me and so large. Tonight I'm not going to sleep, too scared. I know this thing wasn't anything man made, the material it was made of looked like skin, its still vivid in my minds eye. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/

UK/England - Glowing Object

BRISTOL – The family was having a barbecue in the back garden on a lovely warm evening with a very clear sky and sat down to eat a burger and looked up to see something unusual overhead on July 31, 2004. It was a glowing object quite high in the sky and moving slowly in an easterly direction. It had the shape of a coke can that was standing on end and glowed very brightly. I then pointed it out to the rest of my family, who then all just gazed into the sky at this strange object, while I darted into the house to get my camcorder. Upon returning only to find the film had run out and had to run back in for another. I fed it into the camera and recorded about forty-three seconds of this object going into the distance, and can clearly see the shape and the glow of this object.
