This episode of API Case Files covers three recent cases.

We report on a daylight sighting from the Isle of Man (Case 21-023) detailing how two men pursued three orbs until the objects disappeared. This encounter took place May 27th, 2021 and is especially provocative because a day before someone else on the Island of Man saw and reported a single orb just like what our Witness saw.

Two days before the Isle of Man sighting, a Witness in Brooklyn, NY shot footage of three self-illuminated orbs in a triangle configuration cruising up the East River towards Manhattan. Marsha interviewed the Witness in that case.

Marsha also details a case from central Ohio of a mother and son who had a close encounter that so startled their senses they became sick to their stomachs for several hours afterwards.

UFO Report: I was flying with my mother back to LAX, my mother never believed my accounts of UFOs since I can remember, and this time before we took the flight I knew I was going to see the UFO because, I never request window, we prefer both isles when the flights are full, but I chosen a window for me on this occasion.  When I saw the object I was happy my mother was next to me (I am 51) is not like I am a kid, but I was feeling full of joy that she was finally going to see what I always claimed I seen and no one in my family believes me.   So when I spot the object I showed it to her and she finally admitted it was an UFO, not only that, the big ball of light, (fire-like ball) splitter into three, two small moved one in the back and one in the front like if in custody of the bigger one that remained in the middle.  They were flying in formation over a set of mountains near what I think it could be the Mohave mountains, a little up North from our flight route.   They soon vanished like a minute after they hovered very slowly over the mountains top and at that very moment the captain announced that we were 150 miles from LAX.  The object was huge, a quarter coin-size on top of the tiny mountains, and the two small spheres a dime-size in comparison to the main UFO.  In the area of Pasadena, I had two more encounters in 2013 while driving towards L.A., and another time while I was returning from L.A. towards Rialto, CA.

Field Investigation Requested: Yes

Duration of Event: 3-4 minutes

Location of UFO: Vernon New Jersey

Shape of Object: Orb

UFO Report: I was driving home from Matamoras PA coming over Highpoint Mountain on route 23 when I got the crest of the mountain you can look out and see the valley and then the mountains and ski slopes in Vernon on the other side. High above the ski slopes was a big orange/reddish ball that just hovered there. There was no movement which made me believe it was a light at the ski slopes. Then I realized it was way too large and way too high in the sky to be a light from the ski slopes. I kept watching it as I drove down the mountain and it still didn’t move and it appeared to get bigger. I also realized that it it was an airplane or helicopter because it didn’t have traditional running lights plus it was much larger. I decided to try to get a photo of it but needed to fins a safe place to pull off the road. When I finally parked and tried to get a photo, my iPhone could not get a focus on it because the sky was too dark. All of a sudden the light just disappeared but it never moved. There was no movement at all it just disappeared as if someone just turned the lights off. I can’t say it is extraterrestrial at all, the only thing I can say is that it was a strange light that I just can’t explain.  I’m just curious as to if anyone else saw it and may have a logical answer for it.

13-108-AN1 (Hartford, MI)

Date of Sighting: 15/02/2013

Time of Sighting: 2:00-2:30PM

Duration of Event: Twenty seconds or so

Location of UFO: Hartford, MI, USA, N/A

Shape of Object: Orb

UFO Report: It was a small, fuzzy, little orb of bluish/white light.  Looking up at it, the orb of haze it appeared around the size of a small piece of cotton that would have been around 20 yards above my head.  And it is now, as I stare at this fuzzy orb of light when I finally grasp it’s rate of velocity.  To compare…there was a commercial airliner in the sky heading east from west (Orbs direction was south/southeast to north/northwest) the airliner traveled about 70% of my viewable blue sky in maybe ten minutes, give or take. The fuzzy white ball of light traveled that distance and further out of viewable sight in much less time….around 10 seconds or so.  I didn’t know what to make of it at first.  It must have been the first time I had ever seen anything like it, as my brain obviously didn’t know how to store the initially information gathered by my eyes at that first moment I had noticed it looking up.  Ten seconds was almost an eternity and at the same time only a brief moment as I had stared at it until it was completely out of view.

I have never experienced or seen anything like that before in my life.  It was remarkable.  The only other time I have seen nearly exactly what I saw that day, was the beginning of this week in a Youtube video.

13-105-CE3 (Skinwalker Ranch, Utah)

SWR

Update 28 Oct 13: The Aerial Phenomena Team visited Skinwalker Ranch from 17-21 Oct 2013. We are returning for phase 2 of the investigation in early 2014. Upon return of the second expedition, a report will be published.

Skinwalker Ranch, much like Area 51, has had its share of bizarre UFO lore and legend. Tales of interdimensional portals, alien abductions on the property, and yes, even bulletproof werewolves have attracted platoons of both seasoned and arm-chair UFO/Paranormal investigators to this reclusive ranch in Utah. Dubbed the “UFO ranch”, the property was once (and perhaps still is) leased by billionaire Robert Bigelow under the auspices of the National Institute for Discovery Science – a now-defunct fringe-science exploratory organization that attempted to study/obtain UFO/Paranormal evidence consistent with scientific publication.

Recent investigative research by API found that reports of alleged UFO activity continue at Skinwalker Ranch. In hopes of finding physical proof of such activity, therefore, API has planned two expeditions to the UFO Ranch (between September 2013 and March 2014). The results of the investigation, if any, will be a key topic at UFOCON14 in April 2014.
