UFO Report: UFO Report: There’s a concrete tilt up building on a mountain road its on the down hill side and its in the middle of nowhere. It’s got a painted stripe that’s about 3′ wide and it was blue when it was freshly painted or a light forest green, but its faded now. It’s got a door and 2 approx. 3’x4′ windows on the corner by the door. I believe it’s near Dulce NM or in the mountains around there. There’s a somewhat sparse forest leading up to the building, but the area around the building is dry grass on both sides of the road around the building. If anyone has any info that draws a comparison to this regardless of where please let me know.

UFO Report: I worked 3rd shift for a hay cutting company in Mt Hope Kansas 6pm to 6am . We were on our final rounds for the year I was the only cutter and there was 1 truck driver my trailer was full and I turned off my rig to wait on the truck driver to empty my trailer so I could proceed cutting. I knew it would be 30 minutes or longer before he showed up so I made myself comfortable on the stroud of my Case tractor the stroud extended from the cab and angled toward the ground was a great place to stretch out and stay warm propped up against the exhaust. I was facing south looking up at the stars when an object appeared in the sky just above the horizon it was extremely bright white and coming directly toward me it came at an incredible speed over my head I turned to follow it as it disappeared going north. The only sound I heard [and it was quite outside] was a swoosh. I could not determine the altitude or size of the thing the speed was almost like a bullet there was no tail on it and it brightness never wavered . The interesting thing was the next few days the media started mentioning the UFO that had landed in Delphi,Ks in a farmers feedlot that town is almost directly North of where I was cutting it is my opinion that this is what I witnessed. This case left trace evidence that has never been explained Whatever it was in 1971 I can only claim IT WASNT MADE IN KANSAS

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.
