From UFO's Northwest, July 30, 2011, 40 Miles Northwest of Boston, in Lowell, Massachusetts.
The witness stated: "It was in the sky for 2 hours while I watched. I am not sure of the total time. It made no sound and just went from left to right and back and changed colors. At one point it put a light on the ground like a helicopter at 3 different times, but this was before I was filming."
This is not a Chinese lantern. This is something Unidentified.
An Ohio couple and their two sons report watching something hovering just under their street light that "looked like a bare cut metal object the size of a foot wood ruler" that moved back and forth and at times "looked distorted" as it became "thinner or wider," according to August 5, 2011, testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The father went outside and first noticed the object.
"I thought it was a bat eating insects," the father stated. "The flight was odd and shape too big. I got my son to come outside and look. He went toward object and it went toward him and lowered down toward him."
The father asked one of his sons to come outside and look at the object. When the son moved toward the object, the object seemed to react by moving toward the son. But when the son backed away from it, the object seemed to go back to what it was doing. But when the father moved toward the object, "It came toward me and above me going up and down."
When they shined a flashlight on the object, it moved back and forth fast.
Samuel J. Seymour was 5 years old when he was at Ford's Theater in 1865
HUFFINGTON POST - Thanks to YouTube, this gem in American history has been preserved.
In February 1956, two months before his death, 96-year-old Samuel J. Seymour appeared on the CBS television show "I've Got A Secret." His secret: he witnessed Abraham Lincoln's assassination when he was five years old.
Sure enough, Seymour has been widely recognized as the last surviving person in America who had been present at Ford's Theatre the night of Lincoln's assassination on April 14, 1865.
According to the Washington Times, Seymour attended the Ford's Theatre performance as a young boy with family friends. He was told upon arriving in Washington, “Sammy, you and I and Sarah are going to a play - a real play. And President Abraham Lincoln will be there."
Seymour's recollection of the event includes a shot ringing out, someone in the President's box screaming and Lincoln slumping forward in his seat. He also caught a glimpse of John Wilkes Booth jumping from the box to the stage.
A Maryland native who later lived in Arlington, Seymour died on April 12, 1956, two days before the anniversary of Lincoln's death.
BBC radio sports reporter Mike Sewell saw a large disc shaped craft for 2 to 3 minutes above a field in Hertfordshire England. He called in during a live interview with one of England's top UFO authors Timothy Good. Coincidence?
This took place on his way to work this morning, August 3rd 2011.
