Full Report Text:

Mysterious BOOM Shakes Area Approximately at 8:30 am, a loud noise like an explosion was heard by residents up WV Rt 14 (between Vienna and Williamstown) Reports to 911 started at 8:32 am. Law enforcement investigated and found nothing. Local airport contacted and they stated no airplanes capable of creating a sonic boom are stationed at WV airports.

A squadron of F-16 fighters did take off from Daytons AIr Force base at 9:15am so that wasn't it. No explanations could be found. A witness said it felt as though it not only shook the house, but that they could feel it internally as well.

They said it wasn't like anything they have ever expereinced. This happened during the northern lights show. could they be connected?.

A distortion Ok, my son, my husband and I saw something, but I don't really know what it was. It looked like the stars were moving in a direction coming toward us. My son seems to believe its aliens, but I don't believe in that sort of stuff.

He said he summited another sighting him and his brother had last year, and he said it would be helpful if his brother would email you. He asked me to email you to tell you my verson of it. All it really did was move across the sky and stop.

Then it moved again over our house. Thats about all it did, and our watches were a minute behind the clocks in the house.

A distortion in the sky that moved and stopped, then moved again. My parents and I were just sitting on our porch about twenty one minutes ago when I saw what I would describe as a distortion of the sky. It kinda looked like maybe a triangle, but I couldn't really tell.

It was huge, I would guess maybe a hundred feet or more, depending on how high up it was. It moved really slowly over the tree tops and slowed down as it came over the Ohio River. It looked like it was just looking at the water then it came towards our house.

It speeded up and dissapeared over the hill to the back of our house. I'm not really sure of the exact details, but it seemed to have a sphere on the bottom, but like I said it was just a distortion. The reason I think it had a sphere on the bottom(semi-sphere) is the way the stars moved.

They got longer and longer, and then seemed to get really close at the middle of the distortion. This is my second Ufo sighting, but I really don't know what it was. It could have been some strange gas that can stop and move again or a military aircraft that can go invisible.

The reason I don't know if it is or not is because I never heard of anything like this before, but if it was a Ufo, it's a strange one. And something else that was weird, all of our watches stopped at the same time, and was a minute behind all of the ones in the house.

Silver disk. lights in middle, windows, gaseous haze around disk This is to update the data I gave about my previous entry. I wanted to clarify that this is the exact date and time I saw the craft.

It was the night we 'fall back' one hour and I remember looking at the clock seconds before I saw the disk. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) My apologies, the autofill on my computer entered the wrong town and zip. Very sorry, everything else is accurate and was just an update to verify that the time and date were correct.

((END ADDENDUM)) ((NUFORC Note: We believe that we never received the original report. We have invited the witness to send a complete report. PD)).

silver, gray, twice car size, round discus, silent, gas ring around craft, white lights around middle, windows?, green/blue light My fiance and I were coming from dropping a friend off at her house. We exitted the ramp from highway 64 onto Airport Road (AND NO IT WAS NOT AN AIRPLANE) and began to on the first right towards my aparmtent. I casually glanced up (he was driving and I was in passenger seat) and hovering below the powerlines maybe only 10-15 feet above my car was a gray/silver UFO.

It was twice the size of my car, round, discus shape I suppose, with white lights around the middle and a red light on the bottom. I want to say there was a green or blue light but it is fuzzy. It also had silver like 'windows' all around it.

The light on the car and inside flickered several times but he engine did not stop. I have not wanted to talk about it.and don't know why I am now.

I screamed for him to stop and rolled down my window. There was no sound, acutally everything was erily silent. No cars, noise, people.

nothing. I noticed around the craft was a gas-like ring. Similar to the phenomenon in the summer on hot asphault when heat is rising (it's the best I can do to describe it).

It began to lower itself slowly behind the powerlines and some trees. Unfortunately my fiance revved up the car and took off. I was screaming for him to turn around.

He finally did.but we saw no sign of it and he wouldn't let me go into the woods. ((NUFORC Note: Date may be approximate, althought the witness does not indicate that fact.

PD)).

Flying object over Mt.Olive West Virginia Sometime around midnight i was watching out my window and i seen an object flying about two miles off. I thought that it was just a plane because of the light and i know there is an air-port near.

Then all of a sudden this thing shoots through the air real fast and comes to a complete stop in the air,so i'm thinking helicopter at this point and then it just shoots straight off into the air and out of sight. So i sit there stunned and right when i go to leave my window i see another one closer and it does the exact same thing except it flys at light speed like it's jumping from spot to spot for like three stops and then shoots away. There was never a trail of light or noise that i could here, just the light on it which was a yellowish color i think.

I have never told anyone… ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD)).

Full Report Text:

2 singular lights traveling south to north with a third appearing to go straight up till fading out. I observed 3 seperate lights in the night sky. The first was a bright white light I mistook for a star, then I noticed it was moving or started moving from south to north at an airliner like steady rate.

On first seeing the light I dismissed it until I saw a couple of airplanes flying nearby and realized it wasn't lit like an airplane just one bright white light. It continued across the sky until lost to view. At this time I had been laying on a concrete bench.

I resumed looking straight up at the sky and noticed another bright white light overhead. This one, as I watched, got progressively dimmer as if going up. It didn't take but a moment to fade out.

It wasn't a star and I'm aware that some stars viewed directly seem to disappear. The third was, obviously, at a very high altitude, also, going south to north near the area of the faded light. This one appeared to have a slight reddish caste to it.

It was moving faster than the first. My background is in mechanical drafting and design and I am an air and space buff and like all forms of airplanes, rockets and spacecraft. I know what is flying around, generally speaking.

This aroused my curiousity so I thought I'd find if the internet had a reporting site and it does. So here you go.

Red Glowing Blimp-Like Object Hovering over a field On Oct. 2nd, 2001, approx. 6:50-6:55 am.

my sister and nephew were driving out their dirt road, in Sandyville, WV. My nephew was the first to see the object, yelling at my sister to stop the vehicle, etc. She didn't at that time.

Then, as they traveled a lil further, he saw it again, pointing and tellign her to pull over. She did. She describes the object as this: Blimp-Like object.

smooth.no ribbling or lines like a blimp. RED.

Bright Red.glowing red.(it was an overcast cloudy day, no sun), she said it had black square things on the bottom.

several. There were two doors that were open, like barn doors.that had a V-shaped item come out, and that had 6 circles on each side of the V.

Said it didn't move. No noise.nothing.

They watched it for like 5 min. Said it intrigued her, yet sorta scared her. She said she went to drive a lil further down the road, and took her eyes off it, and so didn't my nephew, and when they looked back.

it was gone. That fast. Being how a blimp cannot travel that fast.

she was really skeptical about mentioning it. However, since my nephew as well, saw it, she said, it was hard not to tell someone. So, she told my mother and I, and I told her to report it.

She hesitated, and then finally decided she wouldn't, but said I could. Soo, I am reporting it. Personally, i have a feeling its Military related.

with all thats going on. She is totally shocked. She did however draw a picture of it.

and as well as my nephew. Thanks for your time.

I have never seen any color of light like this. I said an exploitive and my parents turned. My father saw over half of the incident.

My mother witnessed it and stated it was an air plane. As she was making that statement, the light began to dim and get smaller at a slow but steady pace. It continued this unitl it loked like it went away from us, seeing the light dim to nothing.

((NUFORC Note: We express our gratitude to LINDA MOULTON HOWE, well-known investigator of UFO events from Pennsylvania, for conducting a follow-up investigation of this case. Her findings suggest that the case may not be accurate and authentic. Linda had a very difficult time contacting the alleged witnesses, who did not return her many telephone calls.

When she finally reached the principal witness at his place of work, he denied any knowledge of having submitted the report, he denied any knowledge of the incident. Apparently, a second family member reported to Linda that they would contact NUFORC about the case, but they have not done so as of the date of this writing. LINDA MOULTON HOWE can be contacted at the following addresses: Some kind of object was floating over one of my cows.

I went out to my barn, before going to work to check on a couple of my cows and check their water. This is a big barn, with two sliding doors on the front, each about 15 ft. tall, and 7 ft.

wide. I leave the doors open during the summer so air can cirulate. When I walked in the was a thing floating over top of a cow.

I'll try to describe it. It was about the size of a tire, but square, and angled down on all of it sides. It looked about 8 in.

thick, and maybe 3 ft. wide, and it was black with some kind of grey markings on it. The thing actually looked kind of beatup.

When I walked in, the thing just floated there for a couple of seconds, then went over my head, and out the door. It didn't go real fast over me, but I don't know where it went once it got outside, and it didn't make any noise. I looked a good while for it, but never saw it again.

I went back inside the barn to check on my cattle, they go in and out, that's where they water at, and found the cow that the thing was floating over. She looked and acted alright, but I found a place on her ear that looked like she had been poked with a needle or somthing. There was just a tiny bit of blood there, and also her eye on that side of her head, had like a broken blood vessel in it.

I told my wife what I saw, and she told me that I was crazy, so I thought I would tell you. I was also late for work because of this dawgone thing.

Bright disappearing lights in sky near Great Cacapon, WV 7/14/01 My wife and I were sitting outside on the evening of 7/14/01 at around 9 pm near Great Cacapon, WV. I was looking down into the Potomac River valley to the north towards Little Orleans, Maryland. I noticed what I first believed to be a bright star or planet well above the horizon line.

It caught my attention, either because of its unusual brightness or a vague perception of movement. While I was watching it, it suddenly disappeared. My wife had not been watching, and I described to her what I had seen, and commented on its oddity.

A few minutes later, I observed the same light. I pointed towards it, and said "there!" My wife looked up and saw the light. It remained for approximately 3-5 seconds, then again suddeny disappeared.

It was too large and bright to be an airplane, and the suddeness of its disappearance was its most remarkable feature. It was also well-above the horizon and could not have been an object on the ground.

The craft appeared and looked like a pearl material and had a metal circle on the bottom. The Greatest Conspiracy on Earth Chapter 2 Tensions have escalated in the cell that the United States government has created around me; cell is a term used for an operating government intelligence gather group. The exact use of this intelligence can only be speculated.

Some things could be mentioned but this could be an act of treason. So for now just use your imagination. As mentioned in the first document, aliens, me and GOD.

The assholes that I call them have become more aggressive towards me. They have resorted to psychological devices. These devices use sound and cerebral techniques to alter my surroundings, which can be discomforting, but fuck them anyway.

Also, the hybrids on earth, which mask themselves in a matrix, are coordinating with the pure bloods in an all-out attempt to persuade me into an agreement of sorts. The Matrix I believe is similar to the matrix in the movie LIVE, which stars Rowdy Rodney Piper. This agreement would be an acceptance of their right to dominate earth and its people.

I will not cooperate with them! I know of other Alien’s that have better intentions towards us and they are near or present now and more are coming. This is the reasoning behind this assault. I believe the new comers attacked the assholes.

Ex. Lake Michigan, the Green Fog. This probably hid the craft at the bottom of Lake Michigan.

The other one was from god; Ex. Mass corona ejection from the sun melted a craft near Venus. After these events their where two attempts to take my life, I survived only because I am super natural and god protected me.

They keep repeating to me, listen, and I will not listen to the assholes, because they are planet takers. I only listen to my inner voice or conscience. May GOD bless us and good luck!.

I just saw a bright green light moving across the sky from east to west, south of town then it exploded into orange sparks. It was probably just some space junk comeing back, but I thought I should report it any way. ((NUFORC Note: We suspect the witness means 11:48 p.

m., but we are not certain. We will attempt to confirm the time.

PD)).

Full Report Text:

30 foot triangle shaped, constant humming, static electric which made face and arms tingle, disapeared toward the west. Responded to a barking dog & noise disturbance. Upon arrival a constant humming noise could be heard, almost felt coming from the vincinity of the river(Ohio River).

While walking toward the sound, a dark triangle shaped object, about 30 feet across, slowing emerged from behind a clump of trees. A static electric feeling was in the air, causing my skin to tingle, espically my face and arms, which were exposed. The triangle shaped object continued to raise to about a 100 feet in the air, then took off toward the west, slowly at first, then so quick, it was gone.

This was about 1 mile from the tristate airport, which reported nothing unusual.

Light hovering over tree top Me and my aunt were driving north on route 52 going back to Princeton. It was still early in the evening and she was driving and I was the first to notice the object hovering and moving very slowly across the top of the tree line I had my window down and there was know one else on the road. I immediately turned down the radio and had her look at what I was seeing so we slowed down and could not hear anything from it we could not believe what we were seeing.

All we could see were 3 vertical lights that were very close together kind of like a vent. I continued to watch it until it was out of sight. And to this day, I have never forgotten that night.
