Latest UFO sighting report

California-05-13-08-My 14-year-old daughter came running into the house this evening quite disturbed by something. As I spoke calmly to her she said she'd heard a faint "whirring" sound at the same time she saw a partially illuminated disk moving in an arc through the late evening sky. She later described that it was in plain view through some thin tree branches, and moved from the southwest toward the northwest.
She described the whirring sound by blowing, almost whistling, and slightly pulsating and she described the size as slightly smaller than a fifty-cent piece held at arm's length. It came into her range of view at the same moment as she heard the whirring sound and stayed in view for about five seconds before disappearing behind the nearby apartment buildings.
She showed me the spot where she stood, where it came into view, where she last saw it, and indicated its approximate speed with her hand.
I had her draw a picture of what she saw: a partially lighted disc-shaped object with lights on the glowing side on the edge in a crescent, which I hope to add to this report when I can scan it into the computer.
She stated that she didn't know what it was when she first saw it, that the darker side was almost exactly as dark as the sky, and the brighter side was clearly visible with several lights.
She was quite startled when she grasped the fact that it wasn't anything she'd ever seen before. She dashed back into the house the moment it went out of sight, and was for a moment too startled to say anything.

origional UFOs

They stabilized images to correct for camera movement, and then aligned multiple frames in a sequence. One thing that showed them was that the object appeared to move slightly with respect to the moon, because of parallax brought about by slight camera motions and the nearness of the object to the camera.The investigators also combined several frames in a sequence, to give them higher resolution and greater contrast than individual frames. The combinations showed them more clearly a "linear feature" attached to one side of the object. They also looked at archived images from other Apollo missions.Bottom line: "All of the evidence in this analysis is consistent with the conclusion that the object in the Apollo 16 film was the EVA [spacewalk] floodlight/boom. There is no evidence in the photographic record to suggest otherwise."

Beginning their return from the moon to an April 27, 1972, splashdown, Astronauts John Young, Thomas Mattingly and Charles Duke captured about four seconds of video footage of an object that seemed to look a lot like Hollywood's version of a spacecraft from another world.

The thing was described as "a saucer-shaped object with a dome on top." The images were captured with a 16mm motion picture camera shooting at 12 frames per second from a command/service module window. The object appears momentarily near the moon. As the camera pans, it moves out of the field of view. It reappears as the camera pans back. It appeared in about 50 frames.Some very bright people recently worked hard to analyze that footage. Their conclusion was that the object wasn't at all what some observers thought it seemed to be. There is no indication the Apollo 16 crew ever thought the film showed anything special.A group headed by Gregory Byrne of Johnson Space Center's Image Science and Analysis Group completed a report on its investigation earlier this year. They used a video copy of the film initially, then did a high-resolution digital scan of the original film for detailed analysis.

origional description of flying machine obtained NASA website




Summary:
Those who believe that there are intelligent extraterrestrial beings who are visiting our planet, must also assume that Earth would not be the only place in the deep emptiness of space that they would travel to. Even using advanced propulsion systems, the great distances between solar systems, planets, and moons would almost certainly necessitate a stopping-off place, or rest area, if you will. This would, of course, allow for maintenance, refueling, and a break for the occupants of the long journey, or possibly a change of crew members.
Small Cities:
If these assumptions are true, then there is a good possibility that these way stations or rest areas would spawn a creation of structures to store needed supplies like fuel, food, and parts, and also housing for communications equipment. This in turn would require personnel to run the stations, and live there, which would also require housing and the necessary requirements of life. These small cities, even if partly or totally underground, would have a certain amount of visibility from above.
Signs of Existence:
Even the most discreet space station would have some sign of its existence, like a beacon for incoming ships. If alien races were visiting Earth, and wanted to remain secretive, it is very possible that they would choose the far side of the Moon for a station location, it being a short distance from planet Earth, and yet hidden from telescopic and photographic view. The only time that these structures would be visible is when earthlings visited the far side.

1980-The Cash / Landrum Piney Woods Encounter

Summary:
landmark case in the history of UFOs is the 1980 Cash-Landrum incident which occurred in the Piney Woods of Texas. This case marked the only time that any American citizen has sued the United States of America for damages received from a UFO. This extraordinary case is only rivaled in Texas by the 1957 UFO landings at Levelland. The events of Piney Woods began on the night of December 29, 1980, as Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum, and Colby Landrum were driving through the woods trying to find an open Bingo game.
A Frightening UFO: They soon encountered a diamond-shaped UFO hanging over the road ahead. The two adults, Betty and Vickie, first thought that they were seeing a helicopter or airplane. There were several airfields not too far from them. But this object was not like a helicopter, plane, or anything else they had seen before. The large, menacing UFO would from time to time shoot reddish-orange flames toward the asphalt road below.
A Sky Full of Helicopters: Betty, though frightened, was somewhat fascinated by the other-worldly looking object. She was now out of her car, and watching the UFO as it hovered above and ahead of them. Suddenly, the skies were full of helicopters. Betty remarked:
"They seemed to rush in from all directions... it seemed like they were trying to encircle the thing."
The ladies felt that the helicopters must be from a nearby air base. Betty returned to her car, and found the door handle was hot enough to burn her hand as she got inside.

1948-pilot crashed following UFO

Kentucky Air National Guard Captain Thomas Mantell was piloting his F-51, when he received radio orders to check out a large, metallic disc which had been reported by citizens of the area, and clearly seen from the tower of Godman Air Force Base. After reporting that he was in pursuit of the object, radio contact was lost, and his plane soon crashed to the ground, killing Mantell.

1897-he aurora exas,UFO crash

Occurring during the "Great Airship" wave of the late 1800s, the legend of a UFO crash and a dead alien have survived over a century of debate. Allegedly, the dead alien pilot is buried in the local cemetery. The story of the crash was related by local newspapers, the UPI, and AP. The city received "historical site" status because of the incident.
