  By

Date of Sighting: May 10, 2013

Time of Sighting: 11pm

Location of UFO: El Paso, Texas /westside

UFO Report: After a soft rain with absolutely no lightning, I witnessed a dull orange ball of light presumably rising from the ground about 3/4 of a mile from where I watched. In about 4 seconds it disappeared into the clouds and illuminated them as well.  As it rose towards the heavens, through the clouds, the color seemed to change to whitish, yellow.  After it disappeared into the clouds, the particular cloud it disappeared into moved eastward and disappeared.  The object disappeared approximately 60 degrees in the sky. There was no sound and by my estimations, it was around 6 feet in diameter.  It may have lifted off from the bottom of a desert arroyo as the area where I saw this is heavily populated.

Evidence Submitted: None

Initial Action: Case opened as an AN1.

Investigation and Findings:  Witness did not respond to investigative interview.

Object Details: Unresolved.

Synopsis: On 08 Aug 2011, at 2300 hours, WITNESS was enjoying a campfire with her family, about a mile and half south of the lakeshore in Willowick, Ohio.  Gazing up at the stars, WITNESS saw what she thought was plane, but noticed an additional object flying with it, below, and to the side.  WITNESS later checked to see if it might have been the ISS or satellites over the area at the time, but found no reports of it.  WITNESS was with other family members who saw the same objects: her husband, her sister, and her sister’s boyfriend.  Her aunt, who was not a witness but heard the story from WITNESS, suggested it may have been an aerial re-fueling mission.  In a subsequent e-mail, WITNESS stated that the objects were above Lake Erie, and headed West/Northwest at commercial plane height, but not so high as to leave a vapor trail.  The lights did not blink.  The one on top was larger.  WITNESS remembered that they couldn’t make out anything around the lights, even using binoculars.  They saw no craft, just the 2 lights, which did not alter course, had no sudden movements across the sky, but were moving in a very smooth, steady path.

Evidence Submitted: Rendering/sketch.

Synopsis: On 29 June 12, at 2330 hours, the witness of this investigation reported seeing a bright red and orange orb that appeared to be descending from mid sky until it disappeared behind the trees.

Evidence Submitted: Video and photo of the orb.

Initial Action: This UFO investigation was opened as an AN1 – an anomaly that left no lasting physical effects, such as lights in the sky and similar phenomena. A preliminary analysis of the photo indicated the UFO was more than likely a power line explosion. During the exact date and time of this event, a severe thunderstorm with winds up to 60 knots caused massive damage to infrastructure in the Baltimore, MD area, including considerable power outages, fallen trees, and downed power lines.

Investigation and Findings: On 08 July 12, the investigators traveled to Baltimore, MD and interviewed the witness. The witness was deemed credible and displayed no signs of deception. After the interview, the investigators visited the approximate location where the orb descended. While on site, the investigators saw multiple downed trees and power lines, which were a result of the severe thunderstorm. Additional research regarding power line explosions and fires, to include a comparison of photos of known power line fires, indicated the UFO the witness observed was a power line explosion.

Object Details: During a severe storm, flying debris, lighting, and downed limbs can cause power lines to catch fire. In some instances, the transformers can also explode and give the appearance of a large glowing red and orange orb.

Date of Sighting: August 6, 2013

Time of Sighting: approximately 10:00 p.m.

Location of UFO: Sedro Woolley, WA 98284  Skagit County

UFO Report: Husband and I were outside watching the stars , like always. We noticed a bright object  coming towards us. It was  bright white with some yellow with it. It was flying very low below the clouds. My husband had our camera with him and took a picture. The first two pictures would not take. The third and fourth pictures took. It was very quiet, no noise and flying slowly in front and above us then turned towards the east. It looked like it was surveying the area. We have seen this object a few times before starting way back as far as 2010. We were finally able to get a picture of it. On the camera it looks like a bright white object. If you enlarge the picture , you can see the actual shape of the object. Looks just like the ones we have seen on TV. Looks like a flying saucer with the rounded top and slightly rounded on the bottom. As you enlarge the photo you can see the different colors. White with a touch of yellow and some amber. I’am sending the best photo of the object . The object also had a black round area around it. Maybe like, an energy field. See attached photo:  The photo file size was compressed.  If you’d like the original file, email me, and I’ll send it to you.

Evidence Submitted: Photo

Initial Action: Case opened as an AN1.

Investigation and Findings:  Witness did not request an investigation. Case was not opened.
