Low UFO reported in remote New Mexico town

April 30, 2014

A New Mexico witness in Mule Creek reported watching and following two silent, blue-white lights moving slowly about 300 feet off the ground beginning about 11:16 p.m. on April 29, 2014, according to testimony in Case 55894 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness had gone to a barn to check on animals in this remote area when the lights were first seen.

"There were two blue-white lights, arranged like headlights, but much larger, floating slowly out of the canyon and into the valley, at about 300 feet elevation, and maybe 300 yards away, seeming to follow the road," the witness stated. "The lights blinked occasionally. There were no port/starboard lights or strobes. I was thinking maybe it was a helicopter, so I turned off the engine of my car, but there was no discernible noise, other than wind. It was very, very windy."

The witness said the lights moved closer to his location.

"The lights moved closer and I would estimate that they moved at about 10-15 mph. They stayed parallel and in the same plane. I pulled out my binoculars which I keep in the car for observing my cattle, etc., but couldn't make out any shape or profile."

As the lights passed behind his home, the witness decided to follow the lights in his vehicle.

"The lights proceeded to the south-southeast slowly, and when I pulled out of our driveway, I was parallel to it, and pulled into the road to pursue it. It was to the east of my location, still moving very slowly and very low, over the hills. I kept my speed at about 25 mph, thinking that I could intercept it out on the highway. And I thought to myself, 'And then what?' and began to be a little intimidated."

The witness continued to follow the lights.

Indiana cemetery UFO may be classified Air Force project

April 30, 2014

An Indiana witness recalls a UFO event in a Claypool cemetery late one night with clues indicating a disc-shaped object was an Air Force project, according to April 30, 2014, testimony in Case 55895 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The summer event occurred in July 1975 when the witnesses and family members were playing a "ghost in the graveyard" game.

"I was about 10 years old and my cousin - the other witness - was about 14," the witness stated. "My aunt had called the others inside and me and my cousin were on the opposite end of the cemetery from the mobile home still walking back. He was about 20 to 30 feet from me. I had stopped and was waiting on him as he walked toward me. I was facing south. Suddenly he put his hand up pointing at the sky and said, "What's that, look !'"

The witness says he turned in that direction and looked.

"I saw a large circular disc coming toward us and it went almost over our heads. It was about 100 feet off of the ground and about 25 to 50 feet in diameter. It was a light gray color and had the letters 'USAF' on the bottom of it on one side and an alpha numeric (letters and numbers) on the other side."

The young witness did not know what USAF stood for, but called out to his cousin.

Indiana witnesses flee campsite; experience missing time

April 29, 2014

An Indiana witness recalls a UFO event with missing time at a Morocco campground, according to April 29, 2014, testimony in Case 55862 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The reporting witness was 9-years-old at the time of the original event that began about 9 p.m. on June 15, 2000, while on a camping trip with his two brothers, ages 18 and 10, and an 18-year-old friend. They chose the Willow Slough campground in Morocco, but decided to set up in a more isolated area outside the main campsite.

The young men had two encounters with hearing strange noises, although the first event was a camp manager checking on the boys. But as the sounds continued into the evening rather close to their tent, they decided to make a run for their vehicle that was parked about a half-mile away.

The two older boys decided to leave the tent first with knives - but both of the knives fell apart as they were leaving the tent. Not understanding what was going on, all four began running for their vehicle.

April 29, 2014

Two Canadian witnesses traveling east along Highway 16 near Marlobo, Alberta, reported stopping and photographing an unknown object hovering above the tree tops about 400 feet away, according to April 29, 2014, testimony in Case 55866 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The two witnesses were returning home from work in Hinton and heading toward Edson when the incident occurred about 4 kilometers east of Marlobo about 1:45 a.m. on April 25, 2014.

"While driving I noticed on the north side of the highway green and red lights low within the tree line," the reporting witness stated. "It was 1:45 a.m. and it was very dark. The trees are bare. No leaves as this is early spring here so I thought it was a low flying airplane as they carry the green and red lights. I thought I'd seen an airplane flying low on the horizon through the trees."

But they approached closer to the object.

"As I was getting closer I noticed these lights were not moving and they appeared bigger. It was nothing of significance to us as we thought it was perhaps some sort of tower. Finally we passed the small grove of trees and were able to have the direct visual on these lights. We saw red, green, blue-purple light blinking, sort of pulsating around quite fast. There was also a light at the bottom like a dome light rotating a beam of white-yellow light illuminating the ground and trees."

Blimp-like object reported down along Delaware's Christiana River

April 29, 2014

A Delaware witness traveling on a bus southbound along I-95 near the Bear/Glasgow exit reported watching a gray, blimp-like object "rapidly descending with smoke trailing behind it" that appeared to crash or land about 7:20 a.m. on April 29, 2014, according to testimony in Case 55870 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

"It landed in a marshy area on or near the Christiana River, made a splash and may have burnt some of the reeds," the witness stated.

The witness attempted to get a photo, but reportedly could not due to the speed of the bus.

"I could not get a good image in time. Other people on the bus also saw this happen."

Delaware MUFON is investigating.
