Central Casting Saucer Spotted Outside Louisville; a Colorado Campout Overhead Light Show; and a Terrifying Idaho Orb Encounter
Several really good cases to cover in this episode! A mother and daughter saw a right-out-of-central-casting flying saucer maneuvering over them in the early evening of December 11, 2020. They were in a large urban area just outside Louisville. And we hear from a Colorado camper who got more than he bargained for under the stars the night of May 13, 2021: a mass of seemingly connected white lights cavorting in the sky for several hours as he and a companion took in the spectacle. A Witness in Caldwell, Idaho on May 17, 2021 recorded an orb flying along that seemingly changed directions to fly towards him. It stopped momentarily over his house as he took cover under an awning in fear of what it might do next!
Also in this podcast, Paul Carr presents another in his series of Unidentified Science episodes. He covers the issues surrounding fallible human recall.
We also introduce you to our newest API Investigator, Roger Draper. He hails from the San Francisco area and, with a background in law enforcement, investigation, and his DOD experience, he’s a real bonus addition to the team!
We’ll have a report out on this case soon.
Witness video has been stabilized and zoomed by API. The investigation is in progress.
Report on an erratically moving light in the sky near Royersford, Pennsylvania. There was video.
A new witness submitted video has us scratching our heads. This was shot on an ordinary cell phone: an LG G7 Thinq, and was shot in full HD. It was roughly an hour after sunset on 13 May 2021. The 60 fps clip is just under 30 seconds long (1786 frames). The camera was oriented toward the southeast. We have interviewed the first witness, who shot the video. The total duration of the event he describes was about 5 hours.
We still don’t know how to interpret what we are seeing here, and haven’t completely ruled out sensor defects, or possibly a strong magnetic field. Some more tests are required with the camera in question. We are also hoping to speak to a second witness.
If you were in or around Pueblo, Colorado on the night of 13th of May, and saw anything unusual in the sky, please contact us as soon as possible: https://reportaufo.org.
Case 21-017 is in the process of investigation, although we hope to have a report out in the next few weeks. Here are some photos that the witness took with an iPhone XS max, cropped and processed a bit by API. The cropped images have been scaled up without interpolation.
These were shot on 14 May 2021. The sky was overcast.
We’ve had quite a few sightings reported to us lately that have clearly been sightings of the SpaceX Starlink constellation. Chief of Investigations Marsha Barnhart has prepared two reports so far for these cases, and more are coming. Of course, once the redacted report is published, they will appear on the Investigations page.
The two new reports are:
This is just a first look – the investigation has just begun. This was shot in Western Iowa on 30 April 2021. If you’ve seen something similar, please give us your report.
We’ve had several new witness submitted videos since our last post. Many of these include annotation or enhancements by API. The audio is often muted to protect witness anonymity. Have a look, and let us know what you think.
If you have your own video you’d like us to look at, please use our sighting report form.
