Today's stories include: Three triangle-shaped objects zigzagging over Sioux City, Iowa; a man who claims to photograph USAF secret test flights of ET discs outside of Las Vegas, Nevada; five cigar-shaped objects over Santa Clara, California; a Bright Light low over Medford, Oregon; two objects low over Gross Reservoir in Colorado; and Orange Lights spotted over Michigan and Texas.
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.
The following reports and their headlines are unedited. You can read my selected cases by type of UFO report at the UFO Traffic Report index page.
First up today are three Iowa witnesses out stargazing who saw three different triangle-shaped objects above Sioux City at 8:30 p.m. The objects had red-yellow lights and were zigzagging in the sky. The objects disappeared, but returned again - and left the area "at incredible speed."

Myself and two friends were stargazing in Sioux City, Iowa. At about 8:30 PM, when we noticed a triangular shaped craft moving at an extremely high speed at a very high altitude.
I didn't know what it was. It had a red-yellow light and zig-zagged. and then it stopped and hovered for a while. Then we noticed another one come and do the same thing. And then another one came and did the same thing. The crafts seemed to make a triangular formation. I ran inside to get my telescope. When I came back out, my two friends and I looked up to see they had vanished. About three minutes later they returned to sky. About fifteen minutes later, they left at incredible speed up into the sky and we did not see them again. Below is a sketch we made showing the formation of the craft.
UFO witness Ben Woods claims he has "access to where and when the USAF secretly test flies their Et disc." His June 22 report to MUFON regarding a May 28 sighting states that he has collected multiple images taken at an observation location just outside of Las Vegas. He says the discs he observed and photographed have "unique flight characteristics," including the ability to hover and to create a zigzag motion.

My name is Ben Woods and I have been published in both magazines and online as having access to where and when the USAF secretly test flies their Et disc.
On a recent expedition taken May 28th we collected enough images to submit to the Star Impact Project. I have included one of the photos in the attachment and some additional information has been posted at http://www.secretetsaucers.com It is the website I use to post research results during correspondence with Ufologists on my mailing list.
During this incident I was positioned at an observing location just outside of Las Vegas with a photographer and portable observatory. The photo camp includes 1 tracking camera, 1 Meade Lunar Planetary Imager placed into a 800mm tracking telescope and 1 3.2GHz CPU with 19 inch monitor. We waited until 5:30am which was the scheduled test time for the disc and when it was picked up by the tracking camera at about 5:35am we began collecting images.
The disc has several unique flight characteristics that can be seen during the tests. The major "action or motion" that can be observed is hover flight. It also exhibits Zig Zag motion..nothing like conventional flight.
I am available now to accommodate and discuss research objectives MUFON and SIP may have. I had contacted Mr. Carrion last month and he has been waiting for my information.
Once I have been contacted through the email account I provided here I can send over my phone number.

A Santa Clara, California, witness was first watching a Bright Light in the sky when five cigar-shaped objects appeared at a slightly lower altitude.
California, June 21, 2009 - Bright flashing star-like light and moving W to E and 5 cigar like moving S to N.
Sunday, June 21, 2009, I was out in my backyard when I looked up in the sky and saw a flashing light as bright and large as Venus moving slowly from the west to the east at approximately 10,000ft. The light would flash very brightly silvery-white as large as Venus then flash as a pinpoint then back again. As I was watching this, 5 small cigar shaped objects caught my eye moving from the south to the north. As I watched these objects which were approximately at 8,000ft, 3 were together and 2 were in front and slightly to the side with all 5 moving faster then a jet airliner. The 3 objects were moving in a counter clockwise motion as they were moving forward. The objects then disappeared. I looked back at the large silvery-white light for a few more seconds and it, too, just disappeared. The sighting lasted for about 1 minute.This was in Santa Clara, California about 12 noon.
A Medford, Oregon, witness watched a silent Bright Light "low on the horizon above the tree line" moving erratically in the sky and is searching for other witnesses.
Oregon, June 16, 2009 - Bright light.
A light appeared low on the horizon above the tree line of the distant hills in Medford in the south western sky. The light would go from dim to bright in about 2 seconds. It would then dart around a bit from side to side and up and down then fade out. This happened over a period of about an hour and a half or so in various locations, but all were roughly about the same altitude. I heard no airplane sounds of helicopter sounds associated with the lights. The number of times it appeared and disappeared was about 4 to 5 times. Anyone else in Medford see this?
A Colorado witness at Gross Reservoir first heard a strange humming sound. He then spotted two objects moving over the water at about 30 to 50 mph. The objects then made a hard turn and moved over the mountains at a high rate of speed - possibly 600 mph. The objects were the size of a hot tub and "had the appearance of black stars that "twinkled" with black rays of distortion."
Colorado, June 20, 2009 - two small sized objects swoop in over water at "low" speed, turn in formation and take off at high rate, strange humming sound.
I was at Gross Reservoir from all night fishing on the southern boat ramp. During dawn, 5:30 am or so, a strange sound came up the canyon from the west that sounded like a loud humming sound, very fast vibration like a humming bird. I looked to my left and saw two objects moving low across the water. The objects then made a hard left turn and accelerated at a high rate of speed over the mountains. The objects were hard to make out as they seemed to warp light. The objects looked to be the size of a hot-tub. They had the appearance of black stars that "twinkled" with black rays of distortion. When they turned they turned in formation and retained consistent distance form each other the whole time. They also banked to the left in unison during the turn as if it where one object. They moved in such a way that it was evident that they were not using aerodynamics for propulsion or maneuvering. I would guess that they were moving at 30-50 mph over the lake and over 600 mph as they moved away. My best guess is that these are government vehicles, but who knows.
A Michigan witness observed three orange lights positioned in a triangle formation. The objects made a distinct turn and then faded from view.
Michigan, June 21, 2009 - 3 orange glowing UFOs flying in a triangle then one by one the lights faded.
3 flying orange lights flying in a triangle than they made a left hand turn one by one the lights faded we watched them for 5 min. It was very strange. Way above the three orange lights there was a airplane we could see the flashing lights, we just have no idea what the 3 orange lights were
A Texas couple noticed a bright orange or amber light in the sky. The object was pulsating and slowly moving west. After about a minute and-a-half, the object disappeared.
Texas, June 21, 2009 - Bright orange pulsating sphere appeared moving slowly in the sky then just vanished
Exactly around 3:30 AM my wife and I were sitting outside talking when this very bright sort of orange or amber glowing light appeared in the sky. Now, in my backyard there's a cluster of small trees that obscure the sky so when I say "appeared" I think that it might have come from that area. As soon as I saw it I immediately jumped up, moved to get a better look (there's a few big pine trees in my yard). It was very bright and pulsating and slowly moving west. I will also say that it closely resembled a very bright Venus in the early night sky. Sort of star like. Now it only lasted about a minute and a half then just vanished. I have seen a flare before and this was no flare. It was way too high up in the sky. There were no planes near and no noise. Now, I do not think I would have posted that had it not been for another event similar to this. My wife and I were on a vacation recently (much needed) when we saw something very similar to this. We were on the beach, probably around 9:30 pm, there was a full moon so the sky was very lit up. I was just gazing up at the stars when I noticed one that seemed oddly bright and colored(orangish). I also noticed that it seemed to be moving very slowly. Not being the expert here, it is impossible to gauge the height and speed in which it was moving. But, we all three saw it and then it just slowly faded out of sight. As if it were moving up and out, not across. This lasted about 5 minutes. I have seen plenty of satellites. I do not believe it to have been a satellite. That date was July 7th, 2009. Just thought I would share these two experiences and I'm glad there is a place to share it. :)
