The UFO Traffic Report for Thursday, April 16, includes an unusual observation of 20 to 30 oval-shaped objects moving in a V-shape formation and then morphing as they crossed the Mississippi sky. Other sightings include six reports of disc, round, or circular objects, one diamond-shaped object, one triangular-shaped object, one bright light, and two descriptions of what might be fire balls, according to sightings filed with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.

Please keep in mind that many UFOs can be explained as something natural or manmade. Some of these cases are under investigation by MUFON. We will provide updates as they are available. All witness reports are unedited.

The Mississippi case was reported by a woman who said that she and her children observed these oval-shaped objects. Following is her story. To explore more similar stories, please visit the UFO Traffic Report shape shifting page.

Researchers of the paranormal have found, over the years, that sometimes the paranormal is researching *them* -- was INEXPLICATA contributor José A. Martínez on the receiving end of one such probe from the unknown?

On April 13, 2009 I had the opportunity to speak to persons who claimed having photographed unidentified flying objects (UFOs). They spoke to us about sightings occurring in the vicinity of Ponce, Guánica, Cabo Rojo and Lajas, where unidentified objects have been reported in the past. We corroborated this information and found that some of the photos taken by our team showed a UFO in Lajas that was "parked" (stationary) over this district.

The object was a whitish-colored oval and no sounds could be heard. The object had no lights and was at a considerable altitude when photographed by a 5 megapixel Kodak camera with a 10 x digital zoom. Our team at the facility took another strange photograph where the Lajas aerostat (drug interdiction dirigible) is stationed. A mysterious box can be seen at the bottom of the photo.

A Shropshire UFO expert today issued an appeal for anyone who has spotted strange sightings in the sky to contact him. Phil Hoyle, who runs the UFO Investigation and Research unit, based in Shrewsbury, made the request following the latest sighting by Fredrick Kershaw, of Llansantffraid, as he travelled home from work.

Mr Kershaw was near Llanfechain when he saw the unusual sighting.

Mr Hoyle said Mr Kershaw was travelling home on February 26 at 5.50pm and had just turned on to the B4393 when he saw the UFO in his car's side window.

In what is a milestone and historic event for Brazilian ufology and for ufologists around the world Brazil's UFO community has gained access to previously classified top-secret UFO files.


The UFO community headed by the CBU or Commission of Brazilian Ufologists has been fighting for access to these files for over a year under freedom of information provisions and has emerged from this battle victorious.

The Government has previously released in stages various files on the topic depending on the level of their classification but has now released files on the most significant and highly classified UFO events, including the famous and most coveted file of all: the one pertaining to Brazil's own 'Roswell' incident, 'The Official Night of the UFOs'.

Recent sightings, where multiple objects have been observed, are on the rise. The following reports indicate that this phenomenon continues:

Brainerd, Minnesota - 4/14/2009

Witnesses were driving south on route 44 when they observed what appeared to be two separate objects traveling slowly from east to west. The objects were traveling close together, and the driver of the car pulled over to try to get a better look. The witnesses noticed that one of the objects was gone, while the remaining object continued in a westerly direction.

Villagers in the area around the city of Sibu in the Malaysian State of Sarawak on the island of Borneo got a real surprise when they looked up into the sky on January 17 2009.

They noticed a slightly luminous, bright pink disc travelling across the sky. 'We were standing in front of my home when I looked up and noticed something strange in the sky. At first we thought it might have been a meteor until we saw a second identical object move towards the first one' Noted Mr Ong. 'It was not flying in the manner of an airplane'.

American audiences have fallen under the spell of actor Hugh Laurie in his portrayal of the misanthropic physician Gregory House on Fox's House M.D., but fans of Mr. Laurie's work will surely remember one of his memorable roles as an unnamed, uncredited scientist in the music video Experiment IV by the incomparable Kate Bush. The 1985 video, which is closer to a short subject film in its intensity, has Laurie falling prey to a winged humanoid monstrosity - a product of an experiment in sound gone awry - and the viewer only sees the terrified scientist's reaction to the nightmarish entity, and the ultimate lapse into a catatonic state. The fear projected by the actor in that silent scene is gripping and stays with the viewer long after the video is over.

Date: 11/04/2007
Time: 10:13 to 10:15 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Santa Cruz, CA, USA
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: Multiple.
Shape of Objects: Spheres.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Two separate sightings: As I watched the clouds getting nearer, I noticed a bunch of white spheres flittering about, in and out of the leading edge of the clouds. I ran into the house and grabbed my camera which is equipped with a 70-300mm telephoto lens and captured these images.The spheres were at different altitudes and traveling at different speeds, making impossible maneuvers for any conventional aircraft to accomplish.

Large red, glowing object seen in Tabusintac, New Brunswick

While sitting in the living room, heard a loud noise, like a big jet plane low over the house, looked out into the driveway to see what was making the noise, and hovering over the trees across from my house was a round ball like object, red in color, and glowing. The vibrations rumbled the house, somewhat like when a loud clap of thunder shakes your house.

Then the object proceeded to take off corner ways to the house, it started out fast (faster then a jet plane), and gained speed, I ran down the hall to get a family member and by the time I looked out another window the object was gone, but the noise could still be heard. We all ran to the back patio, but there was nothing to be seen, but the noise lingered, like after a jet plane takes off at an airport but much much louder.

Early morning aerial maneuvers by 2 objects, one blue and one white

Occurred: 4/10/2009 05:50 (Entered as : 04/10/09 5:50)
Reported: 4/13/2009 11:36:52 AM 11:36
Posted: 4/14/2009
Location: Orlando, Florida
Shape: Light
Duration: 60 seconds

On the morning of April 10...Friday...at approximately 5:50, I watched an interesting aerial display.

The first "light"(more of a glow) I noticed was a blue one, which was traveling north to south, at a fairly high rate of speed. It was about the size of a medium star, and the glow of blue seemed to pulsate, but I can't be sure due to the distance.

As I watch it go across the sky, a white "light"(again, more of a glow) suddenly appeared right behind it. It also was about the size of a medium star.

Both were, to my ears, completely silent.

The blue one blinked out and re-appeared slightly further east in the sky, and was at a complete stop...no motion that I could detect.

The white one seemed to slow down and did a little zigzag in the sky, at what seemed to be the same altitude as the blue one.

While the white one did its maneuvers, the blue one blinked out of view a couple more times, and after each would re-appear in a slightly different part of the sky, at a complete stop, but still within the area of the white one and its zigzag movement.

After about a minute (60 seconds) of this, they both took off, the blue one slightly ahead of the white one, at what seemed to be the same altitude, in a due south direction.

Needless to say, I was quite mesmerized by the performance I witnessed.

I have provided contact information on the Report Form.
