A report of a June 26th, 2011 UFO came to MUFON today. A bright white light in an unnamed Ohio town was watched at 11:30 PM from the witnesses porch. It appeared to come straight at their direction from around 1000 feet in the air. No images or video were given.
"My husband and I were standing on our back patio at 11:30 p.m. EST when I noticed to the west a single light, slowly heading towards us approximately two miles away. After watching it approach our direction for a couple of minutes; I asked my husband if he noticed any flashing lights coming from it and he confirmed he saw no flashing lights either. There also was no sound coming from the object. We both watched it for another couple of minutes until it was just north of our location. It appeared to be about 500 -1000 feet above the ground. The light then quickly shot up and ascended in the sky until it disappeared."
The video below was my first introduction to the 1947 Roswell New Mexico UFO crash, the grandaddy of all UFO stories. Much has been said about it, but for me, a few little facts are enough to convince me that something happened. This was not a weather balloon, or a Russian craft, as is the latest government attempt to deflect interest in the subject of a crashed disc and alien bodies. You will find a lot of hoax material as well on the net. But what I have presented here are a just a few of the pieces of evidence that continue to intrigue me.
The Original 1947 ABC broadcast of the event, reports that the 509th Bomb Group "has received one of the discs". In the same ABC report, they say that the disc is being flown to Wright Field air force base in Ohio. The reporter contacted Wright Field and said that they were "expecting the disc", but "has not arrived as of yet." That alone is proof enough for me that something very unusual happened 64 years ago that our government is still nervous about. This was not a Russian craft. It also adds to the possibility that they are and have been interested in our nuclear activity for sometime. As for the 'alien arm' in the video, I do not know what to think other than I hope it is real. You can see the arm at 6:43 into the video.

Alien arm. first time a still of it has ever been posted on the web?
Many of the Native American tribes shared a common legend of a massive-winged creature that is suppose to be larger than a condor; the great Thunderbird.
The Legends . . .
The northwestern Indians said that the Thunderbird accompanied thunderstorms and that lightning flashed from its eyes. It was said to feed on killer whales. The Miami Indians called it Piasa, or 'devourer of man' and believed the bird required sacrifices or it would attack a whole community.
Thunderbirds were also seen as a kind of positive energy spirit that attacked monsters. The Ojibway Indians of Lake Superior said that a Thunderbird fought with Mishipishu, a snake like monster of the lake. The Thunderbird won the battle and as he took the serpent away in his talons, a crack of thunder and lighting marked the event. The Iroquois, however, saw the Thunderbird as the guardian of fire. The Iroquois also had a Thunderbird called Oshadagea, or Dew Eagle, and when the evil fire spirits attacked the earth, Dew Eagle would fly over the flames, and the dew from its back would put-out the flames and make the earth fertile again.
In more recent time, the Sioux Medicine Man, John (Fire) Lame Deer told of the Thunderbird and said that the he believed that they had gone to the furthest parts of the earth, unhappy with the dirty and impure civilization of the whites. The Sioux called the birds Wakinyan Tanka. Lame Deer describes them as creatures whose voices are the thunder and the small rumbles of thunder are the voices of their children. They are a kind of phantom being, with bodies that are not solid. There was a time when the Thunderbirds, fighting on the behalf of human beings, fought with the evil water monsters. The war erupted over the earth for many years until finally the Thunderbirds won.
The Sightings . . .
July 25th, 1977, 10 year old Marlon Lowe was playing hide and seek with his friends when a large bird grabbed him by his shirt lifting him about a foot into the air. As Marlon shouted for his mother, the bird continued to carry him for nearly 40 feet before dropping him. At the time, Marlon weighed about 60 pounds. At first it was believed that bird was a turkey vulture, but after his mother did some research at the library, she found the bird that had attacked her son; a black bird with a white ring at the base of its neck, a California Candor.
In October of 2002 in the Alaskan villages of Togiak and Manokotak, came reports of a bird with a wing-span of '14 feet'. Though the actual size would be hard to make out from the ground, the witnesses were shaken. A pilot saw it too from a distance of just 1,000 feet while flying his plane. "The people in the plane saw him," said the pilot John Bouker. "He's huge, he's huge, he's really, really big. You wouldn't want to have your children out." (See the Birdzilla part 2/3 below for the John Bouker segment)
The wingspan of a California Condor can reach 9 feet and probably bigger. It is possible that people are seeing condors, or are these creatures the ancient teratorn still alive and among us even today? The teratorn is the massive ancestor of modern buzzards and stood nearly 8 feet tall.
The Evidence . . .
In Unsolved Mysteries of the Old West, (Republic of Texas Press 1999) author W.C. Jameson tells the curious tale of the Thunderbird Cave in Utah. (Though out of print, the book can still be found as used on Amazon.com.) In 1738 a band of treasure seeking Spaniards who were loaded down with silver ingots, were attacked and killed by Indians angry over the continual trespassing of their hunting lands. Two survivors however, while in hiding, watched as the Indians took the Burros of the dead Spaniards into a cave that had a petroglyph of a large strange strange bird over its entrance. The Indians killed and hacked-up the bodies of the burros, even copping off their hooves. In the 1980's An unnamed treasure hunter went into the cave looking for the silver ingots in the famed Thunderbird Cave. After searching all over the land, he finally found a cave with a petroglyph of a large unusual looking bird over its entrance. The creature had a long reptile-like tail. While digging, he unearthed burro hooves and the large stem of a feather measuring 18 inches in length. The stem is pictured here beside an eagle feather. Ornithologists determined it to be a wing feather, but from what kind of bird, no one can say. Were the burros a sacrifice to the Thunderbirds?

This report does not specify the location of the sighting. I assume its from Ohio because it was posted on the comment section under the Prospect Ohio report.

"On Tuesday Jun 14, 2011 I and four others were having a fire in the back yard when I walked down to the end of the yard to get more firewood I looked up and saw a light. The light was a fire red and was moving very slowly we watched it for about five minutes then it blinked out. It was maybe 1500 feet of the ground and moved from east to west for about five minutes then blinked out."
The National UFO Reporting Center received a report of a June 12th, 2011 sighting of a glowing orange light moving slowing and with out sound over Lafayette Ohio at around 10 PM.
Orange light traveling south at approx. 40mph directly over Lafayette, Ohio, at about 500'.
The light shifted to a SE direction at about the position of the railroad track in the center of town.The orange light did not change color or intensity as it approached and passed.
The above photo is of a Mountain Lion that was struck and killed by an SUV on June 11th, 2011 in Milford Connecticut. Since June 5th an animal matching its description was seen in the area. From the Norwalk Patch news website; Greenwich police reported Friday that state officials from Connecticut and New York are working together to investigate the status of two permitted mountain lions in New York state that “are reasonably close to Greenwich. Given that these animals can (and do) travel great distance reasonably close does not mean [they necessarily came to Greenwich from] the town right next door,” Lt. Kraig Gray, public information officer at the Greenwich Police Department, said in a press release.
Below are a copy of the postings made on the Facebook account of the Eastern Puma Research Network.
June 21st 2011: "RARE cougar sighting in northern Queen Anne County, MD Sunday evening at 2100 hrs along Rt. 544, approx 3 miles east of old Rte 213."
Saturday June 18th 2011: "Cougar sighting reported to us from Rte 93, east of Davis, WV this June 18th afternoon....have arranged a meeting with family who saw the PUMA on Sunday"
June 16th 2011: "Both Virginia & West Virginia Wildlife Officials continue in denial mode, denying any likelihood of cougars or panthers in both states, despite confirmed tracks in at least 7 counties. State wildlife officials across the east, will keep having various state/ or state friendly labs do autopsies, until one of the labs finds an item, linking it to being a pet/captive cat...because they do NOT want to admit to WILD, big cats in their state."

I provided UFOs Northwest with some photos and a little more about our trip to where a UFO was spotted on June 6th 2011 at 11:30 pm.
To recap - here is the report filed by the witnesses
"My fiance and I were driving around the night of June 06, 2011. We live in a rural area. We came up behind what appeared to be a slow moving vehicle with it's hazards on. As we got closer more lights came on surrounding the object and appeared to pulsate. At first I thought it was a tractor (due to the rural area), but as we got closer I listened for an engine and it was completely quiet aside from my own car. We were roughly 20 yards away and could see something walking back and forth around it. As we watched you could see underneath it as if it was floating. When we got close it picked up speed and headed down the road so we turned off onto another road. As we reached the end of the road (a good 5 mile stretch). I looked in my rear view mirror and it was following behind us quickly gaining speed. We turned off and sped home and that was the last we saw."
This is what I wrote to the UFOs Northwest website about my investigation;
"As of yet I have not received a reply from the witnesses. I made a trip to the location and I am giving you a copy of the photos. If you need anything else from me, please don't hesitate to ask. Even though I didn't land my interview, it was still fun to track down the location and get shots. We noticed that on that road, back in a field, some trees are being cleared by a kind of logging company with big equipment. We wondered if what they saw was from this? Sorry we did not get a shot of the logging, but we did get some very bad grainy, shaky video of it. I plan on making a short YouTube video of the story soon if time permits. Also there is an old factory near the area and the smoke stack is visible from the road. We went there too and I have included a copy of that photo. I believe this was a brick making factory that is now being torn down. At least I think they are tearing down the factory. We wondered if perhaps there was something going on at this factory or at where the trees are being removed, that 'someone' is upset about? I am not sure, but it could all be a hoax. It does make me wonder."
My last comment isn't quite clear. I really meant to say that, sure, this could be a hoax, but I don't believe that it is. Why would someone be logging at 11:30 at night? I believe that the witnesses may be nervous about unwanted attention. I know I would be after seeing something like that. I do wonder if something is going on in this area that has caused 'someone' a great deal of concern, or is there something here that they need? There is also near this area, the Green Spur Nature Preserve. Make of it what you will, but there is a lot of activity in such a sleepy part of the county and there have been, as I have sighted in previous reports, a lot of UFO sightings in the neighboring counties and in all of Ohio in the last year. I wonder if I will ever find out the reasons?
This report was submitted to the UFOs Northwest website and interested me greatly because I live only a few miles from the area, and I was in that part of the county on the same day, only a few hours earlier. I contacted UFOs Northwest's William Puckett and he was kind enough to provided me with the contact information so I could possibly arrange an interview and find out more about the sighting. I have requested an interview or at least an email question and answer but as of yet have not received a reply. I offered to keep their identity's a secret. As of this writing, it has been 6 days since I sent them an e-mail. That is fine with me. Perhaps they don't check their e-mail as regularly as I do.
All of that aside, I did manage to go to the area of the sighting and take some photos and video. We parked and made photos in the best location for our car so that it was out of the way. I do not know the exact location of the initial sighting, but we were pretty much in the center of the small stretch of road. We then plotted the course of the alleged craft and its pursuit of the witnesses.
Here is the full report of the episode as it appears on the UFOs Northwest website, unedited. The time was 11:30 PM and was on a rural area of Prospect Ohio.
My fiance and I were driving around the night of June 06, 2011. We live in a rural area. We came up behind what appeared to be a slow moving vehicle with it's hazards on.

Maybe they just like the variety of landscape, the or the unpredictable weather, but for whatever reason, reports of UFOs, real or hoaxed, continue to come from the buckeye state and according to the Examiner UFO website, this current wave dates back to September 2010. The Mutual UFO Network or MUFON, is a reporting data center for UFO reports. They also conduct investigations of mysterious objects. They have put Ohio at a level 5 for its UFO activity. I suppose that is high, as a level four seems to be lower than a five.
A brief list of the strange events begins with September 23rd, 2010 at Canal Winchester on route 33 in Fairfield & Franklin counties when a driver saw a multi-colored, egg shaped object flying at around 200 feet off the ground. They slowed and pulled to the shoulder of the road to watch it. It flew with out wings and the lights 'encompassed' the entire object, changing from white to red. The object was believed to be less that 4 feet in diameter. Full report.
On October 9th of 2010, a limo driver delivered a wedding party to their destination and looked up to see a 'huge' black saucer hovering in the skies over Huntington Beach Park in Bay Village, located next to Lake Erie. The lake has been the place of many UFO sighting for many decades. He watched it for about 10 minutes. He sat in the limo for a bit to rest his eyes and when he looked again, the object was gone. Full report.
A silent object in the shape of 'Z' hovered over a soccer game in Howland Center in Trumbull County on October 12th, 2010. It hovered for about 3 minutes and had multiple witnesses. It then emitted a white faint beam of light and then the object and its beam simply disappeared. Full report.
On October 13th 2010, a father and son saw a cigar shaped object hovering over Belmont avenue at Lewis Center. They spotted and then drove under the object that was around 150 to 200 feet off the ground and was about the size of a bus. They saw what looked like white lights or windows illuminated from the inside. It made no sound. The father noticed that the lights from the nearby business signs lit-up a little, as if form an electrical charge. After looking away for a moment during the course of their drive, the object disappeared. Full report.
October 17th, 2010, for two hours, an Ohio family watches as four UFOs emerge from a 'black hole'. The first UFO was a set of lights in a triangle formation. It was silent, "It's white lights were diffused almost as if a cloud was in front of it but there was no cloud." It moved 'like a hummingbird', "It was very fast and extremely large compared to the moon." Ten minutes later something that looked like a shooting star but was actually two circles 'hooked together'. It was red and white. Then another object appeared 'from out of nowhere'. It was round, with three lights with 'jagged edges' and followed the flight path of the first object. After 20 minutes, a boomerang shaped object emerged from nowhere. It had a transparent, almost invisible quality to it. No location of these sightings was given. Full Report.
On October 27th 2010 a bright light in the shape of a triangle changed into a 'fuzzy ball' while it passed over an Ohio home. No location was given. Full report.
November 23rd, 2010, Austintown Ohio, Mahoning county, a fiery oval object was seen at two separate locations. Full report.
On January 4, 2011 Cleveland. A security guard caught 3 images of a lights spinning above a building. Full report
MUFON database image of UFO above Cleveland building
The Cleveland May 5th sighting got a lot of attention from national media by way of MSNBC and their coverage, stating that Cleveland had a total of 29 UFO sightings in 2008 alone!
May 9th, 2011 Cheviot Ohio, Hamilton county, a slow-moving, foot-ball shaped UFO about the size of a car, moved over a home. As the multi-lighted object moved away, a second mystery object followed it. "I would say it was about 150 feet above the house. It was far too close to be a plane or helicopter and there was absolutely no sound." Full report.
Those are just some of the highlights of the MUFON reports for Ohio in the last 11 months.
I found some sightings that I missed in my own backyard, so to speak. So without further delay, here are a list of very recent Ohio UFO reports.
First, lets start with the best; June 6th, 2011, the sighting of a craft and an entity in Marion county in the village of Prospect, at around 11 O'clock at night. A man and his fiance saw what they thought was a tractor. The closer they got, they saw that the lights were pulsating and someone was walking around outside of it. The 'tractor' however was hovering above the ground. The occupant must have climbed inside the craft, because they drove closer to it and it began to move away. The craft seems to have double-back and began to follow them with increasing speed. Then they lost sight of it.
A few days earlier, also in Marion, on May 30th, 2011, at around 5 AM, two bright lights were seen moving at a height too low for conventional aircraft. The lights moved toward and over the observers into the sky. The lighst seems to twinkle and turn yellow and orange and then blended into the star field above, fading away. Unfortunately, the report does not say if it was in the county or in city of Marion. The same day at 4 AM in Harrison Ohio, near the Ohio boarder near Cincinnati, two bluish white lights were seen moving in unison in a 'U' type formation.
On the same day, May 30th 2011, there were three other sightings in different parts of the state! At 10 PM in Minster Ohio, which is north of Dayton, a mother and daughter saw 3 to 4 orange glowing oblong objects that rose higher and higher until they completely vanished from sight. These same lights were seen at the same time, only some 25 miles away in Piqua Ohio, flying at a slow speed in the east. The husband and wife reported that there were about 5 objects glowing white and orange. The lead object shot off and disappeared. "The two following the leader did the same, while the fourth turned upward and west, revealing a steady red light" it disappeared as well. The last light headed west and vanished. These reports were all made to the UFOs Northwest website.
I made a short video that sums up the reports that I received with the picture and the video evidence.
Something has been going on in Ohio, I just wish I knew who they are and what they are doing.
This story is about a house located in central Ohio. I have decided to protect the identity of the individuals involved.
A family moved into their new home. A husband and wife and their twin adopted daughters. Time passed without incident, then a few years went by and the twins began to see the ghosts of two girls near their own ages. Frightened, they told their parents who refuse to believe them. The girls had never made up stories of ghosts before, so they did quietly wonder to themselves what their daughters had witnessed. Then one night, the father saw the apparition of the ghost girls with his own eyes. It would not be the last time he saw them. They continued to appear before him, asking if the girls could play. The father thought he was imagining things, but the ghost children persisted, appearing before the father and his twin daughters. The girls began to believe that they did not want to play but that the ghosts wanted to ‘take them’.
The sightings continued to happen on at least ten separate occasions. Eventually, the twins were so distraught over the hauntings that they could not sleep at night. In the end, the spirits won, and the family moved away, leaving the house for good.
Years later, the family learned that within only five hundred feet of their old home, a tragic automobile crash had claimed the lives to two young girls. To this day, crosses and toys are laid at the site. I believe that the car crash happened sometime during the years that they lived at the home and that the hauntings began soon after that. I realize that this sounds like something from the movie The Shining, but I know some of the people involved, they are not the type to invent wild stories just to entertain friends and strangers. If they say that they saw this, then I believe them.
After all of the Ohio UFO reports that came to this site within a three week period, I decided to take the video & photographic evidence along with some of the reports and make a very brief video blog of the event. See links below for more of the details surrounding these sightings.
With the ending of our space shuttle missions, we also are coming to a close of some of the most extraordinary UFO footage ever recorded. Shuttle camera's have captured many unexplained phenomenon, and while some can be explained away as bits of ice (the fuel tanks are blasted with water to keep them cool in the moments before ignition and become ice, stick to the ship after entering space only to become loose again when exposed to the harsh naked light of the sun while in orbit), there are a good number of objects that cannot be dismissed as simple space junk or satellites.
Consider the admissions of our own American shuttle astronaut Story Musgrave. Mr. Musgrave freely reports on television of seeing something he calls an ‘eel;’ he estimates it to be a 7 or 8 foot long snake with "rubbery waves in it, that flows with you for some time." So there seems to be space life out there, akin to the aquatic life of our deep oceans. In the program, Mr. Musgrave also goes on to say that; “This gives you a certainty that there are other living creatures out there. Some just simple proteins coming tougher, amino acids and such. And other civilizations have been around for millions of years and have been doing really unimaginable kinds of things.”
The video I present below is a mix I made of two objects that I believe are the best evidence of alien craft traveling in deep space. These are taken from two UFO documentaries; 'Out of the Blue' & 'Evidence, the case for NASA UFOs'. The first craft has a rocket look to it, but none of our earth born ships have thrusters that burn like that in deep space. This object must be moving very fast. The second is a craft that has thrusters as well, but then seems to change its look. Is it going into a kind of warp-drive? The second film is from a mission that unfortunately is unidentified. It was taken from 'Evidence, the case for NASA UFOs' (and has been enhanced and slowed down by me.)
The Skylab III sighting of 1973 is also a curious incident.
What their purpose is, where they are from, and where they are going, I cannot say. I think of Betty and Barney Hill's book 'Interrupted Journey' where Betty describes the abductors presenting her with a map of trade routes in space. The ships in these videos look quite large. Again, I can only speculate.
The story had been around for decades but an earnest UFO buff obtained a copy of the tape and got the footage on YouTube. In the middle of a commercial break during the CBS broadcast of the October 28th 1979 Dallas-Pittsburgh game at Three River Stadium in Pittsburgh, the network cut away from a commercial to show two objects hovering above the stadium. The announcers are stunned, the crowd is stunned. The announcers say they don't know what they're looking at. It's a remarkable piece of footage.
This is not the last time a UFO sighting was reported over a stadium, on August 21st, 2004 after an Ozzfest concert in Tinley Park Illinois, people reported a triangle of lights. And at another Ozzfest concert on August 18th 2010 in Devore California, another triangular shaped object was spotted. Just this year, in Salt Lake City Utah, May 24th, 2011 at a U2 concert, a strange object was recorded on video - It's the last video below and is a must see!
Do the aliens enjoy a good show? You be the judge . . .
In the first video, the network cuts into programing to show the strange lights. (Begins at :54)
In the second video, at :25 seconds into the clip, the network shows the UFOs again, still above the stadium!
This video is after the commentary and has been slowed down.
This is the UFO Hunters show on the 2004 Tinley Park Illinois sighting.
