US: Second witness reports UFO over Philadelphia Museum of Art

A second Philadelphia witness has reported an object on July 4 over the city's Museum of Art, according to witness testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.

We reported on the first case in a July 13 UFO Traffic Report, where a Pennsylvania witness near the Philadelphia Museum of Art at 10 p.m. on July 4, noticed two lights moving rapidly across the sky at an enormous speed. "The second light kept speeding up and slowing down, like it was playfully chasing the first one; it would nearly catch up to the first, then slow or stop and fall back." (MUFON Case # 18048)

The second witness is reporting from the same day, but at between 2:56 and 2:58 a.m., that a "dark gray object with two lights" was spotted moving slowly over the museum. The object was cigar-shaped with a bulge in the middle.

"The ends were rounded like a cylinder."

Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If Pennsylvania MUFON Director John Ventre investigates further and reports back on this case, I will update this page. The following report is unedited. You can read my selected cases by type of UFO report at the UFO Traffic Report index page.

US: Texas disc UFO turns out to be converted T6 trainer

B5N2
© UnknownT6 trainer converted to a B5N2 Nakajima was 'UFO.'
A recently reported Texas UFO is now an IFO, thanks to some good investigative work on the part of SE Texas Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) Field Investigator Fletcher Gray.

Gray read a UFO Examiner story published July 13 - Large disc UFO low to ground over Texas caught on camera - and thought he recognized the object over the water behind children playing in the water.

Gray said that he "did a little research and was able to located the craft." He said the large red spot behind the wing gave the plane away. He said the actual plane photographed in the account is based just 65 miles from where the photograph was taken.

The pilot of the craft, Gray said, was amused that he was taken for a UFO.

Apparently the angle that the original photo was taken could not pick up the wings and made the object appear to be "saucer-shaped."

Special thanks to Mr. Gray and the entire Texas MUFON team. The truth is out there is you look for it. Now get out there and bring us a little "alien" evidence.

US: UFO traffic leaves 'white puffs' over Connecticut

The UFO Traffic Report for Wednesday, July 15, 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.

In Other News: The first Christian Symposium on UFOs and Aliens is over - and Gary Bates has produced a most interesting feature - Reaching Out on Roswell.

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.

Australia: Rees caught pussyfooting on panther sightings

If you see a 50-kilogram black panther prowling the wilds of Sydney's west, you are not going mad.

Not only does Nathan Rees believe the elusive fanged feline exists, but so do government scientists who want warning signs to be erected to keep children safe from the clutches of the cat's claws.

While there is no scientific proof the panther does roam in the Hawkesbury area or the Blue Mountains, a secret government report says its "presence cannot be discounted" and people should be on alert.

Just like Bigfoot, which has allegedly stalked the forests of North America for decades, and the Loch Ness Monster, believed to call the Scottish Highlands home, the black panther has been terrorising Sydney for years.

US: Maryland Witnesses See Craft Like 3 Cylinders Stacked in Pyramid Shape

Posted: July 14, 2009

Date of Sighting: July 9 and July 10, 2009
Time of Sighting: 11:30 PM to 12:30 AM
Location of Sighting: Salisbury, Maryland

Description: We were exiting the bypass. We saw what we thought was an airplane. It was riding low in the sky until we noticed unusual lighting on it. We slowed down to get a better look and it slowly flew over us and we could tell that this was no helicopter or plane. We tried to follow it, but lost it for a little bit. We came across it again hovering over a cornfield. We pulled over about 200 yards away from it and it slowly floated our way again back to where we originally saw it. So we followed it again after losing it again. We finally gave up and went home, but on our way home we saw a floating object far, far away with the same lights we saw earlier.

England: Lowestoft, Suffolk - Lights of Different Brightness Moving Across the Sky

Posted: July 14, 2009

Date of Sighting: 12/7/09
Time: 10,30ish

Witness Statement: Description - Lights of different brightnesses, moving at a constant speed in a straight line, no sound, varying heights and speeds.

Sat in the garden with a mate who I had told about seeing strange lights in Lowestoft. After seeing two of these lights quite high up my friend pointed to a really bright one no more than helicopter height, which was moving slowly in a straight line, again with no sound, and also something I haven't seen before, it was being led by another object but that one was clearly at a much greater height yet they moved in conjunction with each other, so they were in line and at the same speed.
I have seen over 30 of these objects in the last 3/4 weeks.

Vanuatu: UFO seen by Villagers

A number of residents of the village of Bunlap on Pentecost island in Vanuatu claim to have witnessed a glowing blue orb hovering above a hill near the entrance of their village.

Three local men were said to be returning to the village after a days walk from the airport on the other side of the island. The men were coming back from a conference in Port Vila, the nations capital when they saw the orb hovering only forty feet above the ground. They claim after about five minutes it shot off. They ran to the village and informed their neighbours.

The orb was described as a bright blue light and about the size of a house. Bunlap is one of the last traditional pagan villages in Vanuatu. A number of foreign tourists were subsequently told of the incident by locals.
