Other witnesses began to see the object at3 3close range. 3 3 3 3None of the witnesses have felt threatened by the object but3 3they felt that they were being observed. 3 3 3 3It will hover near them (as close as 10 feet away), just 3 3above the ground, and then zoom away. 3 3 3 3Case is still under investigation. 3 3 3 3=END= 3 @DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDY ZDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD? 3OREGON CASE: August 15, 1992, 12:07 a.m. Duration of the 3 3sighting was 15 seconds at close range, 2 hours total visual3 3sighting. 3 3 3 3A triangular-shaped object with lights, emitting no sound, 3 3was sighted slowly flying South East. The object turned and3 3flew over Salem Airport in an easterly direction, to a spot 3 3over the Cascade Mountains, and remained there for one hour.3 3 3 3The object then flew north towards Mt. Hood. After reaching3 3the mountain, it turned and flew back to the original 3 3position and remained there for another hour. 3 3 3 3Case is under investigation. 3 3 3 3=END= 3 @DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDY ZDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD? 3State:...........

Two Boy Scout Leaders were putting up a tent 3 3near a small lake after arriving at a campground near 3 3midnight. A light moving above the treeline across the lake3 3was assumed to be an airplane until it crossed the lake and 3 3stopped less than 50 yards away. It was reported to be the 3 3size of a fist at arm's length, it hovered for maybe a 3 3minute in complete silence before moving off rapidly down 3 3the shore of the lake. The incident was immediately 3 3reported to the camp ranger who remembers them as being very3 3frightened. 3 3 3 3=END= 3 @DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDY ZDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD? 3State:...........

A 41-year-old college graduate, his nephew and 3 3his nephew's wife were in his yard in Shreveport about 11:003 3a.m. when the man noticed three bright objects coming from 3 3the east, north and west moving at an astonishing speed 3 3towards a spot in the sky in the south. 3 3 3 3The objects came to a complete stop in the sky and remained 3 3at a standstill for two or three minutes, and then 3 3disappeared. 3 3 3 3=END= 3 @DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDY ZDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD? 3State:...........

A college graduate in his mid-thirties was 3 3putting out the garbage around 8:30 p.m. when he noticed a 3 3strange white light an estimated 2 to 4 miles NE of his 3 3home, approximately over the Amite River. 3 3 3 3The light appeared to be 400 to 500 feet high and about 100 3 3to 200 feet above it was a red light, both stationary. 3 3 3 3Realizing there was no tower in that area and that the 3 3lights did not resemble an aircraft or helicopter, he moved 3 3around the house for a better view. During the 3 3approximate five minutes that he watched, the red light 3 3twice suddenly jumped to a position well to the left of it's3 3location over the white light, remained there a few seconds,3 3then jumped back to it's original position. Shortly after 3 3it's second move, both lights suddenly disappeared. 3 3 3 3=END= 3 @DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDY ZDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD? 3State:...........

Webster County, Missouri 3 3Case Description: 3 3 3 3 3 3Two MUFON Field Investigators and four other witnesses 3 3observed a craft in rural Webster County as 12:30 AM. The 3 3craft was observed at a distance of less than 100 yards for 3 3approximately one minute. The craft was moving at a slow 3 3walk pace about five feet above the ground. The craft 3 3disappeared slowly as if it were "going through a door." 3 3 3 3=END= 3 @DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDY ZDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD? 3 3 3State:........... Oklahoma 3 3Date:............ August 25, 1992 3 3Location:........ Durant, Oklahoma 3 3Case Description: 3 3 3 3 3 3On Tuesday, August 25, 1992, a Durant resident called the 3 3Oklahoma MUFON State Director at 11:30 p.m. and stated that 3 3herself and a number of witnesses were watching a brightly 3 3lit object to their west and had been doing so since about 3 311:00 that night. She described in detail what they were 3 3seeing. 3 3 3 3The first witness observed the object when he had gone to 3 3bed. The time was 10:51 p.m. He looked out the west window3 3of his home which was open with the shades up. 3 3 3 3When he first saw the object, he thought it was a plane. 3 3But when it moved fast, from one position to another, behind3 3a tree to another opening between the trees, he then 3 3realized that it was not a conventional aircraft. It moved 3 3too fast too quickly to be an airplane. 3 3 3 3The couple had company over, and the husband (first witness)3 3yelled for the others in the house to watch the object. He 3 3said that it jumped to the right and stopped, swung like a 3 3pendulum back and forth, and then stopped motionless. 3 3 3 3The others came to the bedroom to see the object, then 3 3proceeded to move outside. Witness number 2 (wife) saw the 3 3object and described it to be about 1 1/8 inches across at 3 3arms length (a circular oval template was used to judge the 3 3size of the object). She saw it when it was angled towards 3 3her and saw a portion of the bottom of the object, which was3 3described as darker. 3 3 3 3According to her statement, the object was conical with 3 3light rays emitting down from the bottom edge. It was 3 3shaped like the top of a bullet - pointed at the top, then 3 3extending down and outward to form an umbrella shape, but 3 3more of a pointed umbrella shape. It was flat on the 3 3bottom. No protrusions were noticed. She said that she 3 3could see the shape when she looked to the side of the 3 3object. She had glasses on and they are corrected for 3 3nearsightedness. 3 3 3 3Witness number 3 entered the husband's bedroom as the 3 3husband stated" You ain't going to believe this, but this is3 3not a star. That is something else." 3 3 3 3The light was moving in an erratic manner. When the husband3 3went outside and regained sight of the object, it appeared 3 3as a definite conical shape. Unlike the wife's report, 3 3which stated that the object was all white, the husband 3 3reported three colors - blue on top, yellow in the middle 3 3and white on the lower third. 3 3 3 3The husband's account and drawing indicated a more elongated3 3object with basically the same shaped top (more like an 3 3artillery shell). His account indicates that at arms 3 3length, the object was about 3/4 inches wide and about 1 1/83 3inches tall. It is possible that they were watching it 3 3change shape. 3 3 3 3Each witness was interviewed separately. 3 3 3 3Witness number 2 described the light emitted by the craft 3 3resembled an inverted gas flame on a kitchen range. The 3 3bottom was darker than the rest of the craft, but her report3 3indicates the object must have either been tilted slightly 3 3or was higher when she looked at it than when witness number3 33 saw the shape. She stated it was a pendulum motion or 3 3possibly rotated. 3 3 3 3Witness number 4 stated that she was not wearing 3 3prescription glasses at the time of the sighting, as she was3 3required to wear them normally, but she could see the light.3 3She corroborated what the others had said. 3 3 3 3They were asked if they had read any material on UFOs, they 3 3all replied they had not. When asked if they watched TV and3 3seen any of the Unsolved Mysteries, Hard Copy, etc. shows on3 3UFOs they all replied yes. 3 3 3 3The witnesses were credible, each having a college 3 3background, and had nothing to gain from the report. Based 3 3on what was said and the statements of each person, the 3 3evidence looks reliable and valid. 3 3 3 3(Note: This case is similar to a case in September, 1976, 3 3that occurred in Tehran City, Iran.) 3 3 3 3=END= 3 @DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDY ZDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD? 3State:...........

She glanced at her bedside clock and saw that it 3 3was 1:10 AM.

She pulled over to the side of the road and 3 3stopped, watching the light. As she stopped, the light 3 3became discernible as an object and dropped slowly behind 3 3some trees and out of sight. She described the object as 3 3oval in shape, approximately 30 feet by 60 feet, glowing red3 3and noiseless. The object was less than one-quarter of a 3 3mile away from the witness. 3 3 3 3=END= 3 @DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDY ZDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD? 3State:...........
