Location of UFO: Jackson, Alabama, near Huntsville Al
UFO Report: Ive sighted several UFO’s but this particular day, I saw something in the sky glinting in the sunlight, it was silver, like when the sun would bounce off a plane…but as I continued to watch this silver object, ( and yes others saw it too as we were in a car) the object was stationary. there was no noise, no movement for about three minutes. then it seemed to know it was being watched, and zoomed in closer to us.. as if to scare us.. it was cigar shaped, had no lights as it was a bright bright day, and it zig zagged a bit and just dissipated! Huntsville has had many sightings, since maybe the Marshal Space flight center is there, and also the Space and Rocket center, I know a retired air traffic controller, and he said the Red Stone arsenal had many “sightings” and they would just file “13” of said sightings.
Evidence Submitted: None

Synopsis: On 04 Dec 2012, at 1930 hours, the witness of this investigation was traveling east on Warfield Road between Germantown and Olney and saw three strange red lights. The witness stopped his vehicle, stepped out, and saw a large black triangle moving 15mph from east to west. According to the witness, the UFO was 150 feet wide, was made of what appeared as metallic, and was silent. The rear of the object had white and green lights.
Evidence Submitted: Sketch provided to investigators
Initial Action: Case opened as an FB1.
Investigation and Findings: All investigative efforts were exhausted and the case was closed as unresolved. Investigator Note: Research regarding reports of black triangle UFOs dating back to 1980 were completed as part of this investigation. It is important to note that there were thousands of reports regarding allege black triangle UFOs. However, none of these reports, including the sketches and photos, were similar to what the witness observed.
Object Details: Unidentified
Synopsis: The witness of the investigation contacted API and claimed to have a photo of a strange object.
Evidence Submitted: Photo from a Nokia cellphone camera.
Initial Action: This UFO case was opened as an AN1, an anomaly that left no lasting physical effects, such as lights in the sky and similar phenomena.
Investigation and Findings: Photo analysis was inconclusive and exact date/time photo was taken could not be determined. Case was closed as unidentified.
Object Details: Unidentified.
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: According to the witness, he was outside his home in Hoboken, NJ and spotted a UFO in the sky. The witness used a Canon DSLR camera to take several photos of the UFO. Note, investigation still open. Details, including date and time, were not provided to API.
Evidence Submitted: Original photos.
Initial Action: This UFO case was opened as a FBI, a fly-by of a UFO that traveled in a straight line across the sky.
Investigation and Findings: Case closed prematurely; lackluster witness cooperation.
Object Details: Unresolved.
Synopsis: WITNESS was driving east on Interstate 94, approximately 3-4 miles south of Miles City, Montana. It was 18:30 (local mountain time) on Sunday, November 4, 2012 when WITNESS observed in the sky what appeared to be two blinking lights heading slightly different directions. After 20-30 seconds of observation, WITNESS dismissed the lights as commercial aircraft at high altitude. However, about 2 minutes later, WITNESS then looked slightly left outside his car window and noticed a very bright, light-blue light. The light was traveling very quickly downward toward the ground at an angle between 5 to 20 degrees at a slight northeasterly direction (essentially towards the eastbound interstate upon which the WITNESS was driving) and then within 1-2 seconds, the object very fluidly and smoothly turned out of its steep dive, leveled off just parallel to the ground, and disappeared immediately after this maneuver.
Evidence Submitted: Original sketch.
Initial Action: This UFO case was opened as a AN1.
Investigation and Findings: According to the WITNESS statement, Investigator determined the WITNESS was looking directly at the Frank Wiley Air Field just outside Miles City, incorporating a portion of Montana known as the Hayes Military Operations Area (MOA). In fact, the Hayes MOA includes a large swath of northeastern Montana. Further, Investigator found that in 2010, Montana State Sen. Ryan Zinke (R), a retired Navy Seal with experience deploying drones in Iraq, directed a project focused on bringing unmanned aerial systems to Montana. Additional research confirmed that unmanned aerial systems are now deployed in the skies over Montana. Investigator found a military Memorandum of Understanding identifying Miles City as the only Dispatch Center for the Hayes MOA in Montana. Of special interest is the fact that the Miles City area has recently been designated as a military “Lights Out” Operations area. In other words, aircraft and other aerial systems being tested will not necessarily have any aviation lights or even normal exterior aircraft lighting.
Investigator called and confirmed, with the Ellsworth AFB (Rapid City SD) Flight Scheduler, that Department of Homeland Security drones are being flown along the Canada/Montana border, but not in the Hayes MOA. The Flight Scheduler also explained that these drones are incapable of flying in the manner described by WITNESS. Although it is possible other unmanned aerial systems are being tested by the military/industrial complex, there is no proof this is taking place over the area the WITNESS reported his sighting. So, even though unmanned aerial systems are deployed in the skies over Montana, the area they are officially allowed to operate does not include most of Montana—only the portion along the Canadian border. If other unusual testing flights are taking place in the Miles City MOA, the Ellsworth AFB Flight Scheduler responsible for flight operations in that MOA claims no knowledge of it.
Investigator called the Miles City air port dispatcher, an employee of the Bureau of Land Management who operates the Frank Wiley field, and asked about flight operations in that area. This air field does not have an Air Traffic Controller. Rather, landing lights are activated by incoming pilots dialing up an automated frequency to initiate the runway lighting sequence. However, according to the dispatcher, this lighting sequence does not approximate in any way what WITNESS observed. Of interest though is the fact that the Air Field is situated on hills, following along the Yellowstone River, running adjacent to the Interstate. According to the WITNESS, the object “disappeared” after its diving maneuver. IF the object was operating around this air field, it may have merely been obscured by these hills. Investigators conducted multiple interviews with the witness and was cleared as credible.
Although a drone cannot approximate what the WITNESS observed, there are reports that the US Military/Industrial complex is testing plasma energy weaponry that could operate much as the WITNESS described. A recent report details that the US Army is developing a weapon using dynamic pulse detonation (DPD), a short but intense laser pulse creating a ball of plasma It is possible secret testing of a new plasma weapon is taking place in the Hayes MOA, but Investigator is unable to determine any reliable explanation for what WITNESS reported. Case is closed as Undetermined.
Object Details: Unresolved.
