There was an interesting MUFON report this week, with photos (video of the same object appeared on YouTube shortly after the report was submitted to MUFON). The sighting took place on January 14, 2016 near El Cajon, California. The witness was filming a fighter jet’s contrails in the sky and at first, did not notice the high-speed object he inadvertently caught on video. According to the witness: "I was outside at 11.30 AM on January 14 when I noticed a jet heading straight up and began to videotape it.  Later in the day when playing the video back, my girlfriend and I noticed a fast moving object near the jet that was not visible to the naked eye when recording.” Still shots from the video show thick jet contrails with

MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) today released UFO sighting statistics for the month of December 2015.  According to MUFON, the United States leads the world in UFO sightings with sphere-shaped objects being the most commonly reported shape. MUFON is the oldest and largest UFO Research organization in the world and utilizing proven, scientific analysis of sighting reports submitted to them, leads the effort to solve the UFO mystery once and for all.   STATISTICS REPORT Sightings by Country Country Number of Reports UNITED STATES 496 CANADA 31 UNITED KINGDOM 19 INDIA 6 BRAZIL 6 AUSTRALIA 6 GERMANY 5 SOUTH AFRICA 4 MALAYSIA 3 FRANCE 3 SWITZERLAND 3 SPAIN 3 MEXICO 2 NEW ZEALAND 2 URUGUAY 2 UNITED ARAB EMIRATES 2 COSTA RICA 1 FINLAND 1 NETHERLANDS 1 PUERTO RICO 1 DOMINICAN REPUBLIC 1 PERU 1 EL SALVADOR 1 LITHUANIA 1 IRAN, ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF 1 TURKEY 1 DENMARK 1 ARUBA 1 PORTUGAL 1 HAITI 1 THAILAND 1 VENEZUELA 1 PHILIPPINES 1 TAIWAN, PROVINCE OF CHINA 1 NORWAY 1    TOTAL: 612 Distribution by State State Number of Reports California 90 Florida 29 Texas 28 Michigan 25 New York 20 Pennsylvania 18 Tennessee 18 Arizona 15 Ohio 14 New Jersey 14 Missouri 14 North Carolina 14 Washington 11 Colorado 11 Nevada 10 Wisconsin 10 Minnesota 9 South Carolina 9 Kentucky 9 Alabama 8 Georgia 8 Massachusetts 8 Louisiana 7 Montana 7 Idaho 7 Virginia 7 Indiana 7 Oklahoma 6 Oregon 6 New Mexico 6 Utah 5 West Virginia 5 Connecticut 5 Kansas 5 Alaska 4 Illinois 4 Iowa 4 Hawaii 3 Maryland 3 South Dakota 3 Nebraska 2 Arkansas 2 North Dakota 1 Maine 1 Vermont 1 New Hampshire 1 Mississippi 1 Wyoming 1 Reported Object Shape Shape of Object Number of Reports Sphere 92 Circle 71 Disc 66 Triangle 61 Other 60 Star-like 52 Unknown 39 Fireball 33 Cylinder 19 Square/Rectangular 18 N/A 17 Oval 14 Bullet/Missile 11 Boomerang 11 Cigar 10 Diamond 9 Blimp 7 Flash 7 Chevron 6 Cone 5 Egg 5 Saturn-like 4 Teardrop 4 Cross 3 Distance from Witness Distance from Witness Number of Reports < 100 ft 117 101-500 ft 98 501 ft - 1 Mile 128 Over 1 Mile 167 Unknown 184 NO

A New Jersey witness has reported sighting a low-flying “huge” triangle-shaped UFO over Vernon Township, a township in Sussex County, New Jersey. The witness was camping in Vernon on September 15, 2015 when he sighted the object while walking back to his tent. “I just decided to take a gaze up at the sky because it was really clear out and out of nowhere I noticed this huge black, long triangular craft with several steady white lights. And it appeared to be the bottom of the craft.” According to the witness, the object was shaped like a “V” with large, white, portal lights underneath. It moved slowly and silently along the tree line before “fading out and disappearing”. “This thing was giant. Like a flying aircraft carrier and it

Not much is known about this video other than it was reportedly captured on a GameCam in Hahira, Georgia on August 31, 2015 at 11:26 PM.  The report was filed with MUFON who as of yet, has been unable to validate the video or deem it a hoax.  The report as submitted to MUFON reads: Six light objects in straight line formation moving forward past camera.  Video found on webcam this morning. Six objects appearing bright in straight line formation moving through the woods at night toward our webcam and passing by. This wildlife webcam is stationary to a pine tree approximately 4 foot off the ground. Video does not have the best clarity. Not sure if it could possibly be some type of night birds.

An interesting report was submitted to MUFON yesterday (July 24, 2014). The report was filed by the grandchild of the woman who received the information firsthand around 1960 and apparently tired of having it weighing on her mind. According to the woman, her grandmother recalled a close friend from Wright Patterson Air Force Base confirming that indeed, there were alien bodies from the Roswell incident and those bodies were transferred and stored at Wright Patterson. “My grandparents lived in Dayton, Ohio for years prior to 1964. A close friend retired from Wright Patterson AFB. He was high ranking. My grandmother, who was the most witty, honest, and candid persons I'dve ever met asked him if it were true about the alien craft and possibly the alien bodies

Interesting video from Ben Hansen, host of SyFy channel’s Fact or Faked Paranormal Files television show.  The video was shot on November 16, 2013 during a MUFON event in Phoenix at which Hansen was demonstrating his new Generation 3 night vision equipment.  Witnesses say the UFOs were not visible to the naked eye nor did they have blinking lights like traditional planes.  At first take, you would presume these unknown objects were satellites but what is unusual about this sighting is that the objects are travelling in sync - two pairs of objects flying in a tightly held formation. Many are unaware that the US Navy operates a satellite system known as NOSS (Naval Ocean Surveillance System) which consists of multiple SIGINT (signal intelligence) satellites flying

NOTE: The latest UFO video going viral shows a strange object over a Naples, Florida pool. The source seems dubious to me but is interesting enough to prompt a visit from MUFON (who said they did not suspect the video was a hoax) so we’ll share it here for readers to review themselves. A condominium surveillance video caught a glowing-orb like UFO hovering over a swimming pool in Naples, Florida this week. As a result, MUFON, who calls the video “one of the most fascinating videos they have seen in a while”, will investigate in an attempt to identify the mysterious object. The video, which was shot from condos on Gulfshore Boulevard near Venetian Village on Monday 8/5/2013, shows a glowing saucer-shaped object which suddenly appears

Ben Rich is a well-known engineer thought to be one of the top engineers in the country.  From 1975 to 1991, he was the Director of Lockheed’s Skunk Works, the division responsible for development of several advanced technological aircraft including the U-2, the SR-17 Blackbird, the F-117 Nighthawk stealth bomber, and the F-22 Raptor.  In a recent presentation about the infamous Skunk Works program, Rich made several unusual comments that had many in the audience scratching their heads. During the presentation, Rich hinted on more than one occasion that more, undisclosed, top-secret advanced technologies have been developed since the F-117 was introduced.  Of course, Rich could not go into specifics.  MUFON Director Jan Harzan, who was in attendance at the presentation, told reporters: “He intimated that there

No big announcements came out of last weekend's MUFON symposium (other than a newly announced partnership between MUFON and France’s official UFO investigation organization, GEIPAN) but we knew that any gathering of notable Ph.D.’s and scientists was going to produce some thought-provoking revelations. Distinguished physicist Eric Davis, made some pretty bold statements about his colleagues. Davis, a research physicist at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Austin, Texas, is an expert in light-speed travel and recently won an award from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics for his study, "Faster-Than-Light Space Warps, Status and Next Steps”. This weekend, David said that “UFOs are real” and that he knows many colleagues who quietly study the UFO phenomena. “There are scientists who are aware of evidence and

A security camera at an oil company in the small town of Cotulla, Texas is said to have captured the image of a “disk-like” UFO, floating a few inches off of the ground.  The incident allegedly occurred on July 6, 2012 (some sources state July 5).  The witness explained: “My father works in an oil company here in Texas, and they had noticed that some people were taking the crude oil in the night. So they started putting cameras up around the areas. One night one camera caught a UFO. The news had spread through the workers and they soon emailed it to my father. My father had sent it to me and now I'm posting it here.” The witness went on to note that the UFO

We received some interesting reports of UFOs seen over the town of Chester Springs, Pennsylvania on Christmas day.  MUFON recorded the event and noted that witnesses reported a black object with flashing lights.  Power outages accompanied the sighting.  One photo (see above) and reportedly two video clips were shot of the unknown object. One witness noted: “We took the kids out to ride their new Power Wheel and I noticed a black spot in the sky that wasn't doing much of anything - just hovering. I pointed it out to my husband and my mother and we couldn't figure out what it could be. After about a 1/2 hour, we went back inside. Every few minutes, wed peek outside to see if it was still there - and it was. Then
