The UFO Traffic Report for Wednesday, May 6, 2009, includes nine selected sightings over eight states, according to witness statements filed in the past 48 hours with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.

Today's stories begin with two triangular UFO sightings in Georgia and Missouri. The same specific descriptions coming out of these continuing reports seems to point to new U.S. flight achievements, but you have to ask the obvious question - why are they testing these craft and scaring the population at the same time? Come clean and brag about your new ships. Otherwise, my guess it's alien technology. We have continuing reports of U.S. jets seeming to intercept - or are they tagging along with their own U.S. pilot companions in the UFOs?

Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If MUFON investigates and reports back on any of these cases, I will update this page. You can read my selected cases by type of UFO report at the UFO Traffic Report main page.

The following reports and their headlines are unedited.

Two triangle UFOs are first up today. This first story comes out of Georgia along Highway 78 as it near Highway 285. The witness saw a "large lightening bolt," and then saw white lights forming a triangle.

Georgia, May 1, 2009 - Triangle shaped craft w/ white lights underneath and the center light flashing on and off.

I was going down Hwy 78 headed West toward Hwy 285 on Friday night 5/1/09. It was a cloudy, rainy night but no thunder or lightning (up to this point). Suddenly there was a large lightning bolt that spread all the way across the sky (no thunder before the bolt, just the bolt). My boyfriend and I both noticed how huge it was and I said "Wow, that was beautiful", especially since it was so huge. I continued to look at the sky hoping it would happen again. That is when some white lights caught my attention out the corner of my eye. I looked over and that is when I noticed some white lights off to my right over the tree line. I thought it was a plane at first but the lights were really bright and low. I always look at the sky (both day and night) and I always look at planes and their flashing lights, so doing as I usually do, I continued to watch the lights. Truth is I am an avid UFO/Alien researcher and a sky watcher, so I am always on the look out for something interesting in the sky. So I looked at the lights and I noticed that they were all white, in a triangle shape and not flashing as usual so I watched it longer. I wanted to see what it looked like once it came out from behind the tree line and came closer to the highway. (I am used to watching planes at night so I wasn't expecting to see what I saw, I expected nothing more then just another plane.) But when it came out from behind the trees I thought to myself, "Is that a triangle?". So I looked at it more carefully. That is when I noticed that there were four white lights on it. I could only see the bottom and there was a light on each corner and one in the very center. Only the center light flashed (pulsed) on & off.

At this point I was kinda thrown off because I didn't recall ever seeing a plane with lights that don't blink on the wings and I started freaking out a little (in my mind). I told myself to calm down and look at it again before it moved over the car and out of my line of sight. And this time I told myself to look for the wings (thinking that would be the end of it) but that is when I realized that I couldn't see the outline/shape of wings and that the shape really was a triangle because I could clearly see the shape of the craft because of the light colored clouds in the sky that night (it was a really cloudy night and the clouds were kinda lit up from the city lights if you understand what I mean.) It was flying under the clouds deck and I could clearly see that it was black and to my utter amazement it was shaped like a triangle. There were NO wings, only a perfect triangle. The strangest part is that right as I noticed that it was actually a triangle I noticed that is wasn't flying straight but rather from right to left going over the highway. I have never seen anything fly like that except for helicopters and helicopters never look like that object did (day or night).

The craft moved over the car and I couldn't see it anymore because we were still moving down the highway going away from it. When I tried to look back and see it again I could only see light, not shape or anything else. I continued to watch the sky to see if I could see a plane or anything flying under the clouds like that craft was and I didn't see anything for hours after my sighting. And not only that, there wasn't anymore lightning for at least two hours or so after we got home. My boyfriend was driving the car at the time and I was so freaked out at what I'd seen that I didn't mention it to him. Along with the fact that I thought he would make fun of my for thinking that I saw something considering how much I am into UFO's and Aliens. I did build up the courage to tell him later that night but when I told him he said that he didn't believe me because I didn't tell him as soon as I saw it.

I really saw something that night. I wish I'd told him to look so I wouldn't be alone on this but like they say "Hind sight is 20/20". Now I am alone with my thoughts and questions. And the worst part is who knows if I will ever see something like that again. Flying low and clearly visible. WOW, I FINALLY SAW ONE! WEIRD WEIRD WEIRD

This Missouri witness describes a black triangle that was silently floating at no more than 1,500 feet off of the ground, 50 to 60 feet long, 20 feet high, with the top forming a dome shape.

Missouri, Feburary 15, 2009 - Waiting for wife to get off work son looked up and asked what is that! I looked and seen a triangle!

I and my son went to pick up my wife from work, the time was 4:50pm, it was a nice clear day and we parked by the front door of the restaurant, and were just sitting in the car, and talking, and not much time went by and my son looked up and blared out!..WHAT IS THAT! and I replied what is what? My son said THAT! so I leaned over in the car to look, and right above us was a black triangle! I was shocked to say the least! We just sat there looking at this thing I almost couldn't believe I was seeing this! There was a BLACK TRIANGLE just floating by. It made no sound and it was slowly turning in a clockwise rotation and was moving about 5, to 10mph. I would say it was about 1500 ft in the air it looked like it was at lest 50 to 60 ft long and at lest 20 ft tall, and the top of it was in the shape of a dome but the top changed colors like it was iridescent. The colors went from black to a yellowish green to a blue then there was some red color in it, too! We watched this thing float by then it began to slowly gain height and it was going in a westerly direction. But as it gained height it changed to a northwesterly direction and we watched this thing till it disappeared from sight! We looked at each other and I looked at the time and it was a littel after 5:10pm. I told my wife but she gives me static about it! But I don't care!! We, my son and I, know what we seen !!I Know it wasn't a balloon! or a plane! or even a helicopter! I grew up by a air force base when I was young and I know what those things are but this ! IT WAS A BLACK TRIANGLE !! I don't really know what to think ! But I know one thing for sure I look up a lot more now!

A North Dakota report describes the shape of the UFO as winged, so I may file this one under Chevron or V-shaped. On dike patrol for the National Guard, the witness sees an "enormous object" fly overhead, silently and very slowly with "no real shape" and a center red strobe light.

North Dakota, May 4, 2009 - Enormous Wing

On dike patrol for the National Guard on the James River, standing behind the store near the HWY 281 bridge. At 4:15 am, myself and 1 other Soldier were walking the dike, checking for seepage, breaches or leaks. I have always had a habit at looking up and staring at the stars on clear nights. We noticed an enormous object fly over our heads heading at a fairly slow rate going east by south-east. We could not see any real shape to the aircraft but the there was a center red strobe light and three red lights going off of it in a low angle swept back wing pattern at an equal distance apart. (The Soldier that was with me thought there were four lights on the objects left side and three on the right). There was no noise associated with the object. We both estimated the object to be about half the size of a city block or 1/4 mile in width. I tried to take a photo of it with my cell phone, but the pixel rate was too low and all I see is a completely black photo. I called our operations center and talked to some of my peers about it, but faced ridicule and am not going to pursue it further. This is the only UFO I have ever seen after over 25 years in the military.

One case from Arizona where the witness saw three triangle UFOs, first a bright object hovering with four lights. But the witness adds that the white light went out and a red blinking light went on, and the object apparently transformed its shape into a plane.

Arizona, May 3, 2009 - 3 triangle sightings in White Hills, AZ (between the Hoover Dam and Kingman, AZ).

My husband and I along with our young son were driving by White Hills, AZ on the US 93 leaving Las Vegas, Nevada towards Kingman, AZ. My husband was telling me about lights that he sees in the sky in this area often and about a different encounter he had a month ago (will file a separate report). He was explaining to me what the craft looked like when he pointed ahead towards the left of the highway above white hills town and said 'There it is!'

I saw a very bright object in the sky hovering (not moving) in the same spot. I immediately thought it was probably just a plane but the white light was WAY too bright and big. It was large and watching it I realized it was not moving. We watched it for a minute then pulled over into the middle of both sides of the highway (it is a good sized dirt/brush area in middle) and we watched it. You could barely see small lights lined up on it (about 4 or so when you squinted, it was far away/small but could still make out) It appeared to be more boomerang shaped by the way the lights were lined on it but it was so far away I cant be exactly sure but to offer these observations.

Soon after we stopped on side to watch the bright light turned off and a small red blinking light on the bottom turned on and it began to move towards Las Vegas. It appeared to 'transform' into a plane (moving and light looking like a plane). My husband told me that is what they do transform to be like planes if you stop to watch (it happened the last time he saw it).

We got back in the truck and a couple minutes later we saw another bright stationary light just a little farther where the first one appeared. It looked the same as the first, hovering and stationary. We didn't stop immediately until a couple minutes later another bright light appeared near this one but a little higher in the sky. We pulled over again and watched them both. The one we saw before the other still appeared to be stationary but it made a weird loop circular motion (to the right, up, left and back where it was-in a circle) quickly. It did that a couple of times. After watching for a few minutes the 'first' one turned the bright white light off and turned the red blinking light on as well, like the very first one that had already flown away. It started moving in the same direction as the other one, moving exactly like a plane and blinking similar to one. We watched the last one (3rd) one for a bit more and got back on the road and started driving again.

The 3rd bright white light started moving in our direction for a a little while then it turned off its bright white lighting and the red light like the others blinked on and it started traveling toward Vegas like the other 2 did before it. Once their red lights kick in they look like a plane, you wouldn't think twice about it unless you saw its bright white light and it hovering stationary, or moving weirdly, or simply appearing but again the red lights seems brighter or bigger then the average blinking airplane light. My husband said they looked exactly like the one he previously saw a month ago except that one had blue lights blinking as well as the red when it turned the bright white off and it was a more detailed sighting then these (craft wise). Also the lights seemed to be flying lower than a regular airplane.

After we saw these things we were scanning the sky for more but found none. We got home and looked up sightings in White Hills but didn't find too much, then looked up Dolan Springs and found someone asking 'Anyone know of any Vortexes, Cold plasma shields, U.F.O's or any other oddities in or near Dolan Springs, AZ?' asked on February '09 so others must be seeing these things. Searching triangle shaped crafts there seems quite a few seen in AZ. We plan to be well equipped camera wise next time we are in the area and we are confident we may see these lights again since they seem to frequent that area.

While observing an F-16, this Colorado witness also saw a silver, circular object in the sky.

Colorado, April 30, 2009 - F-16 sighting followed by brief UFO sighting

I was at work and we had been moving things to storage, my co-workers were inside and I was outside near the back door where there is a great view of Buffalo Mountain. At this time I saw a jet that looked like an F-16 fly unusually low from Vail towards Frisco, it then took a large turn northward around Buffalo Mountain and toward the Gore Range and I lost sight of it. Right after that I noticed a silver circular object that was hovering behind the southern side of Buffalo Mountain. I had been watching the sky that day and this object was much lower than any of the jets I had observed, besides the F-16. The whole event from the time I saw the F-16 to when the ufo left was around 30 seconds.

A diamond-shaped object was seen over Minnesota as it was "bobbing in the air," very bright and changing colors.

Minnesota, May 5, 2009 - Changed multi colors diamond like shape.

I took the dog out in the back yard to potty at about 10pm. I felt the urge to look up and to my right (west). I saw a diamond shaped object bobbing in the air. It was very bright and changed colors. I got my wife and daughter to look but they were skeptical. To make sure I was seeing what I thought I was I got 2 neighbors to look. We all saw the same thing. While watching the ufo I believe it made a commercial airplane change course. Shortly after that I believe a small airplane went to intercept the ufo. I can't say for sure because by that time the ufo was barely in sight. It had moved a great distance to the west. Total view time 15-20 min. I did use high powered binoculars to view the ufo as did my neighbors. I know for a fact it was not a conventional aircraft of any kind. Let's just say I didn't sleep well that night. Seeing is believing. Sighting took place on 5-3-09 Between 10 and 10:30pm in Brooklyn Park MN near West Broadway and 85th Ave. I lost sight of the ufo when it traveled west out of sight.

This Arizona sighting included six to eight lights in a straight line southeast of Kingman over the Hualapai Mountains.

Arizona, May 4, 2009 - Straight line of lights.

I saw 6 to 8 lights in a straight line. Equal distance between them. Southeast of Kingman, AZ. Approximately over the Hualapai Mountains. The lights blinked in order from west to east. About 2 seconds each. No more than 2 at a time except once, where 3 were visible. There was no light hues surrounding them. And there was moderate cloud cover. If the distance was accurate, then the lights were the size of small houses. If the distance wasn't exact, then the lights were the size of a small car. No real movement was evident. They turned on then off.

Two UFOs over California moved at high speed, and then suddenly stopped and hovered.

California, May 4, 2009 - Numerous UFO's conducting fast erratic maneuvers

My father called telling me to rush to my uncles because they were staring at a UFO. I rush over and couldn't believe my eyes. There were two UFO's "playing" with each other. They were moving at high speeds and suddenly stop and hover. They were doing circles at high speeds. Nothing no military aircraft can do. I called others who confirmed what I saw. It changed to either a solid red or a solid green ball of light. One went east in a high speed and the other disappeared west in a erratic fashion.

And finally today, this unusual report from New Hampshire where witnesses noticed their power going off and on, and then experienced a blue light flashing outside. At the window, the blue light was 50 yards away and about two feet off of the ground, light that lit up the entire sky, flashing five to six times before it stopped. Police investigated and found nothing.

New Hampshire, April 21, 2009 - bright flashing blue light

The power flickered on and off which woke my boyfriend up when his lamp (touch sensitive) turned on. He woke me and asked me to check out what he was seeing out the window. I opened my eyes and immediately saw the blue light flashing on then off. I thought it was a police car stopping someone on the street. I looked out the window and noticed the bright blue light. It looked like it originated about 50 yards away in the neighbors yard right next to or on the street. It was about 2 feet from the ground. It flashed and lit up the entire sky as bright as lightning. It was raining that night. When it wasn't flashing, the sky was black. It continued to flash 5 or 6 times more then stopped. After it stopped we both tried to figure out what it could have been. We came to the conclusion that it might have been a downed power line or something electrical, so we called the police to report it, especially as it seemed to interfere with the power. The police instructed us to call the fire department who came to investigate. They couldn't find any downed power line or anything out of the ordinary. A couple hours later the local utility company, Unitil came to the house to investigate followed by the police. We explained what we saw to them. They also checked the street, the neighbors property, our own property, but they found nothing as well.
