© MUFON imageNew Mexico sighting from May 31, 2009.
It's a fairly light traffic reporting period, although there were many Bright Light cases in multiple states where UFOs were spotted at high altitudes that we did not cover here.
Today's stories include: silent and flashing orange lights hovering just 30 feet above a Florida home at about 100 yards distance; a group of diamond-shaped objects moving across Wisconsin skies; a stationary Bright Light photographed over New Mexico; a round and stationary light photographed over Colorado; a cylinder-shaped object hovering and rotating over the Hudson River in New York; a Bright Light that glowed a red/orange color over Louisiana; and two amber-colored lights make a repeat appearance over Estrella Mountain in Arizona.
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 index page.
The following reports and their headlines are unedited.
First up today - A Florida witness got out of bed at 3:30 a.m. after seeing flashing orange lights - looked out a window - and saw flashing lights hovering 30 feet in the air and about 100 yards away. By the time he woke his wife to watch the event, the object had moved away another 100 yards across a lake and was partially hidden.
Florida, June 1, 2009 - Orange flashing lights, one large and one small. No noise, and hovered.
I noticed a orange flashing light at about 3:30 (stone sober) and I figured it was a Florida Power and Light truck. It did an abrupt turn around and at that point I took notice because I figured there was a utility problem.
I got up to check out what was going on and the flashing lights were now hovering 30 plus feet off the ground about a hundred yards from me. I watched the lights and object for a couple of minutes and I figured I would either wake my wife or get a video camera. I wasn't scared but just in awe and intrigued.
I ran over and shouted to my wife to wake up and it took about 45 seconds to get her back to the spot I was standing.
The object had moved another one hundred yards or more across the lake to partially obscured area. My wife and I could see some of the bright orange lights through the trees still moving about, but our line of vision was obscured at that point.
I walked into the bedroom to go to sleep after five minutes and noticed it was 3:30 am.
A Wisconsin man saw what he first thought was a flock of birds, but as they came closer to his location, he realized they were five "narrow diamond shapes." The objects moved silently and in tandem, seemed to be metallic and a light brown or grey color. Four of the objects moved together, while the fifth object seemed to orbit around these four as they moved.
Wisconsin, June 1, 2009 - 4 diamond-shaped objects (almost in a diamond formation) flying south with the 5th object circling the other 4.
I am a stay at home dad. We have a sliding glass door going to the deck facing north. I am always on the look out for planes and chemtrails and whatever else may be in the sky. My daughter and I also like to look at our flowers and birds and other wildlife.
So Monday, about 11am, I see what I at first thought was a flock of birds flying south towards our house. They got closer and I realized that they weren't birds; they seemed to be 5 wide, narrow diamond shapes. What really then got my attention was when they made 45 degree turns, all in tandem, with no sound whatsoever.
They seemed to reflect sunlight when they were facing about southwest it seems. From that angle they appeared to be metallic without a doubt. When they "turned" in other directions they appeared more of a light brown, almost grey color.
There were 4 diamond-shaped objects in the middle, all in a diamond shaped pattern. They remained in that formation the entire time. There was a 5th object that seemed to "orbit" the other 4, first one way then another. As soon as I could get my camera they faded into the sun. There was never a sound.
A New Mexico witness driving along Route 10 near Las Cruces and watched an object hovering in the sky and took photos.

Driving west on Interstate 10 around 6.50pm(local time), seen object hovering in the distance (southern sky) observed object until the sun went behind the horizon and lost sight.
Object did not move for the time I observed it. Also witnessed by passenger. I did take pictures of the object. Found it strange the object had no lights, showed no source of anything powering it. It did not move from the time I witnessed it.
It was near Las Cruces, NM where there is a miltiary base and a military UAV test sight.
A Colorado witness saw a Bright Light in the sky where there would not normally be a light. With binoculars, the object appeared to be round and was either stationary or slow moving and appeared to be brighter than stars or planets. The witness also snapped photos.

Going to work at 5:10am I saw a bright light in the sky. I don't normally see any star or planet at this location. I took out the binoculars and could see this was not a star but a roundish object. I quickly took out my Nikon S630 digital camera and took several photos.
The object was either stationary or slow moving as I could not detect any movement. This object was brighter than any other star or planet in the sky.
I was surprised to see it appear as a red color on the top of the object in the photograph.
A New York witness standing outside a Laundromat watched a bright object hovering nearby that appeared to be cylinder in shape and appeared to be rotating.
New York, May 25, 2009 - Bright metallic cylinder observed hovering (in controlled fashion) over Hudson River in lower Westchester
I was sitting in front on a laundromat (between Gold St and Union Place) on a retainer wall, waiting for my cousin to finish doing his laundry. I was looking out over the Hudson towards the Palisades when I noticed a very bright object hovering in the sky over the Hudson River between Yonkers Train Station and Glenwood Train Station. The object was cylinder in shape with well defined edges, appeared "solid", and had an extremely shiny surface (like mylar). It was rotating clockwise at approximately 6-8 seconds per revolution, was tilted at approximately a 45 degree angle, and was at a height slightly above that of small planes and helicopters usually seen flying over the area. From my perspective, the object measured about 3/4" to 1" in length and about 1 centimeter in width. The object hovered at first then slowly moved in a zig-zag fashion (rotating slowly as it went) first moving Southeast, then moving West - climbing as it went. I did not see any windows, fins, wings, tethers or anything else attached to it. It did not behave like a balloon and I could not hear any noise associated with it nor see any exhaust. I did not notice any planes or other aircraft in the area at the time. The sky was clear and the day very sunny. My initial reaction was confusion at seeing a "tube" in the sky then bewilderment and amazement as I watched it for close to 15 minutes until it faded from view.
A woman who opened her front door to greet a friend who had just been at a Laundromat says she saw her first UFO - a metallic object with a red/orange glow near its center that was going off and on, as well as a bright white light that was going off and on. The witness says it was probably disc shaped, but that it could have been cylinder shaped.
Louisiana, May 31, 2009 - I saw my first UFO over New Orleans this afternoon.
A friend came back from doing my clothes at a laundromat at about 3:30 pm and when I opened the door for her she said come out and look at this. So I hobbled out onto the porch on my walker and looked up to where she was pointing and I see a sliver of a metallic object. It had a red/orange glow near the center that went on and off and a bright white light that went on and off. I was thinking that maybe the white light was a reflection of the sun. I don't know. It seemed still for about 5 minutes and then started drifting. It was out of my sight within about 2 minutes. The friend and my neighbor watched it for another maybe 3 minutes until they lost track of it behind the houses. I was seated, they were standing and had a better view. One thing unusual is that when I first spotted it there were 2 very small clouds near it, otherwise the skies were perfectly blue.
My first impression of the object was that I was looking at a disc shaped UFO that was turned so that I only saw the side. I am not sure, it could have been a cylinder. It was very exciting for me to see it and I tried to vector it closer. I sent it telepathic messages and even spoke out loud to it, inviting it to come closer.
An Arizona witness driving home from Phoenix noticed two bright, amber colored lights in the sky to the west, above Estrella Mountain. The witness says these lights have been seen in this position before.
Arizona, June 1, 2009 - Two amber lights abouv Estrella Mountain...Hovering and then fading in and out.
Driving home form Phoenix heading south I witnessed what appeared to be military flares directly ahead of me however to the west above Estrella Mountain were two bright amber lights that were not moving at all. I know what flares look like but these would be a constant brightness for several minutes then they would blink out but come back in the same exact spot. I have seen these before, even low in the sky above the town where there are no military exercises. They just appear at random in the same spot usually and stay hovering for hours. This time one dimmed out and came back then several minutes later they both were gone. Someone should definitely camp and post up somewhere over in the Estrella range because no doubt they will be back again.
