Latest UFO Reports for August 21, 2008

Three interesting UFO reports have come in this week to Anomaly Blog.

From Amber in Howell, MI:

I'm not so sure if it was an UFO or not.
I was Upnorth in Casville for the Cheesburger festival,
and about 10:00 pm or so, i saw people look up into the sky.
So obviasly i look back and into the sky to,
and what i have seen was a oranges round ball shape move about north east quit fast. I have never seen anything like that before. I don't quite know if it was a UFO.


From Tony190052:

it was the spring of 1965 I was 13 at the time we live in a very rule area of nj it was around 3 in the morning when my mother woke up from a sound sleep when her bedroom turn bright white she look out the bedroom window an saw a U.F.O. coming down around 150 yards behind our old farm house right down in the woods. she said the woods just lit up stayed for a few minutes then took off straight up. The next morning she told me and my brother what she had seen. We both went out to look an to our surprise about 150 yards was an area the size of a baseball field smashed to the ground. Crushed trees, brush and grass flattened to the ground. We both looked for tire tracks and found none. It was like nothing Iv 'e ever seen before or since. It was defiantly not from this world. For several years after the incident nothing grew there.


And from wyoung1971:

Every morning I wake up at 3:45am to get ready to go to the gym. Before I go to the gym every morning I take my dogs out for their walk. I walk the same steps every morning. Sometimes my dogs can take a little bit of time to do their bsiness being so early in the morning. Anyway it was a longer than usual walk as I was trying to them to pee. At a moment probably around 4:00am when we were close to finishing up our walk. I glanced up at the moon it was pretty big and bright in the sky. And when the moon is that bright there tends to a bluish backdrop about the sky. Well as I'm looking up at the moon I see an ellipitcal shaped shadow run in a northwesterly direction across the sky. Not too fast and quicker that an airplane would fly. I live just near the flight pattern of Sky Harbor Airport so I have something to base the speed from. The object made no sound and seemed to just glide effortlessly across the sky. I blew it off thinking there goes a UFO probablt not out of the ordinary being in Phoenix I'm sure. I never told anyone because I'm a firm believer in intellegent life beyond our reasoning. If I did tell anyone they would just dismiss it and think I was a quack. It's not something you go running into the house saying "Honey I just saw a UFO!!!" Yeah right would be the response I would get. The truly odd part of the story comes later. When I returned home from work later in the afternoon I heard a news report about 40 cows mysteriously dying in a field in Chino Valley, Az. I've never known where Chino Valley was I'd never even heard of it. I google it this morning and it is northwest of Mesa. The exact direction the object was flying. News articles say that the cows were reported dead at around 6 am. Thats when they were first noticed to be dead. It just seems coincidental to me thats all. The initial reports are calling it plant toxicity. There were about 200 cattle and 160 of them were not affected. Reports also say that they should have some results from the toxicity test in about 5 days.

Latest UFO Sighting Reports for August 18, 2008

Here are the latest UFO sightings reported by Billy Booth at About.com:

Florida-08-07-08-Traveling on U.S. 1 south bound in the Jensen beach area, I noticed 3 disc-shaped objects in horizontal formation The objects appeared to be very large, considering their distance of 10-15 miles away. These were not like looking at dots in the sky, they were of significant size and seemed to be over the ocean.


My position for the viewing was approximately 4.5 miles inland. The St. Lucie nuclear plant is not far from this point to the north 6 miles away. This was an awesome experience. source: www.mufon.com


Maryland-11-22-07-As I was walking out to my Hearse to put some Goodwill donations in it, I turned to my left, and saw a big, black circle. It looked about 500-700 feet off the ground, hovering over a nearby neighborhood. Tonight was well lit, we had a full moon. And this big circle, hovering in the sky, blocked out clouds and stars. Suddenly, it flew off with unearthly speed, and disappeared into the night sky.


There were no lights coming from it, but there was a clear, disc-shaped outline. If I had to guess, I'd say that they were going stealth tactical. That's what our military would do, and, how it would operate. Was this a UFO from another world, or just a military test vehicle? source: www.mufon.com


New Jersey-08-05-08-Two nights ago while sitting in my back yard sky watching, I had my neighbor come by and he started asking me why I had the binoculars with me, and I told him of the years of sightings and many explained and unexplained things I've seen. At that point I glanced to my right (I had turned my torso due west to speak to my neighbor) 10ยบ N x NW, and saw a bright, star-like object on a steady path heading southeast at approximately 500 ASL (above sea level) much lower than a star right?


I reached for my binoculars while telling my neighbor that this is the reason for them, and I noticed and later found out that my girlfriend was watching it for about 15 seconds before me, and she said it flashed as she was watching the sky. I have a very good pair of Steiner Commanders 7 x 50 Binocular Military grade, and I can zoom and focus before it was directly in front of me (facing true north). It traversed the sky slowly and silently, and would slightly shift from an east trajectory to a southeast trajectory. I handed the binoculars to my girlfriend, and then my neighbor, who was speechless. All we saw was an extremely white star burst. NO FAA aircraft strobes or red, green, and yellow-white safety lights. source: www.mufon.com


Texas-08-07-08-While sitting outside on my front porch drinking coffee, I happened to look up (towards the east) and noticed what appeared to be a very large star. Then I noticed that it was moving. It was brilliantly lit, and far too large to be a star. The size looked about four times larger than the north star. I would estimate the height to be about 5000 ft, and range about 1-2 miles. It stayed on this heading, and I watched it for about 10 seconds, when suddenly it just disappeared, just like turning off a light switch. I knew then, that I had seen something very unusual. source: www.mufon.com


West Virginia-08-08-08 I was in my home on the phone, it was midnight, when I wondered where my dog was. I went outside to find my dog hiding frightened on the west side of my house. When I looked to the east, I saw fireballs. It was pitch black outside that night, the moon had gone down early, so you could not miss them. They looked like small suns, hovering over a pond near the road on my property.


At first I thought maybe they were a pole with mounted transformers on fire, so I got into my car with my friend Doug to check it out. I chased the objects down Balmer road for about 7 kms, then they chased me back at high speed over 100km/hr, and returned to the same pond. They looked like basketball-sized fireballs at first, then transformed into mechanical craft with multiple bright lights rotating, shining down at a 45 degree angle onto the pond staying there for 4 hours, at about tree height, 10 to 40 feet. The objects had very smooth actions, almost fluid in movement, able to speed up very fast. For the most part, they hovered up and down in trees over the pond.


There was a very unusual metallic smell associated with this. The object at its closest to me was about 40 feet, and the closest to the ground they got was 5 feet. I want to add that this occurrence was very disturbing, left me shaking for 2 weeks. source: www.mufon.com


That will close out this week's reports, but be sure to come back next week for more of the same. Until then, keep your eyes on the skies.

8/08/08 Trifecta

Since there is a baby born every minute, it only stands to reason that a baby would be born on 8/08/08 at 8:08. But when that baby also weighs 8 pounds 8 ounces, it becomes an anomaly. But that's not all! There wasn't just one baby that hit that trifecta, there were two!

First, there's Xander Riniker of Lisbon, Iowa.

(Courtney Sargent/The Gazette)
From GazetteOnline.com:

Chad and Heather Riniker of Lisbon thought the coincidence couldn’t get any greater when their son was born at 8:08 a.m. today — 8/8/08.

Then his birth weight was announced: 8 pounds, 8 ounces.

“They called the time and everyone said, ‘wow, 8:08 a.m.,’” said Chad Riniker, 34. “Then they put him on the scale ... it worked well with the theme, I guess.”

Xander (pronounced “Zander”) Jace Riniker was scheduled to be born at St. Luke’s Hospital by Caesarean section at 7:30 a.m. today, but an emergency C-section before Heather Riniker’s delivery pushed back the schedule.

“I have no idea what the odds of that would be,” Chad, a quality assurance manager at LimoLink in Marion, said of the coincidence. “I would guess slim.”

The child isn’t their eighth — Heather, 31, has two children from a previous marriage and they have two together — but he is the eighth grandchild for Heather’s parents, Lesa and Ken Bulman of Fort Leonard Wood, Mo.

And then there is Hailey Jo Hauer born in Fergus Falls, Minnesota.

From The Fergus Falls Daily Journal:

Talk about a memorable birthday: A Fergus Falls family is welcoming a baby girl born at 8:08 a.m. on the eighth day of August, weighing in at eight pounds, eight ounces.

Lindsay Hauer’s cesarean section was scheduled for 8 a.m. Friday morning at Lake Region Hospital and began right on the dot. When hospital staff told her the time of her daughter’s birth, Hauer thought they were pulling her leg.

“I thought they were just joking,” she said. “I didn’t believe them when they told me.”

“The time was to the minute,” said Hauer’s husband, Joe.

Imagine Hauer’s surprise when, still in the operating room, she received a call from staff in the hospital’s birthing suite, where Hailey Jo Hauer was being measured and weighed.

“I had the scale on grams at first,” said Jenny Harstad, Hauer’s nurse. Based on the baby’s weight in grams, Harstad estimated Hailey would weigh-in within the eight-pound range. She later joked she’d hoped to find significance in the baby’s length as well.

“I was trying to shrink her down to 18 inches,” Harstad said. Instead, Hailey measured 19.5 inches.

Back in the operating room, hospital staff resolved to buy lottery tickets later in the day.

“My anesthesiologist said to me, ‘Do you realize this is once in a million? This will not happen anywhere else,’” Hauer said.

Hailey is Lindsay and Joe Hauer’s second child. Evan Hauer, 16 months, will meet his sister Saturday.

“We’ll introduce him tomorrow and see how it goes,” Joe Hauer said.

Another UFO Sighting In Long Island, NY


This is the second sighting report we've received from Long Island, NY in the last six months. Seems like there is definitely something strange going on in the skies of Long Island. This report came in earlier today:
I live in massapequa, NY. I looked out my bathroom window facing the south side of Long Island. In the sky I noticed a very bright white steady light. At first it looked like a bright star or planet. As I was gazing at the object I noticed it moving slightly to the north then to the left then to the south and then to the right in all directions ever so slightly. Then after watching it move for 20-30 minutes it started to move to the left with greater speed and then just faded out to blackness. This happened a few weeks ago @ the middle to last week of July. The time was approximately midnight. Am I the only one to report such a sighting in the area? Thanks, Helen
Thank you for your report, Helen!

Ancient crashed UFO claimed to be from dinosaur age, 150 million years ago

News released today about a secret U.S. Government project to analyze an allegedly extraterrestrial craft has a unique twist.

This craft did not crash in 1947 in Roswell, New Mexico.

According to the anonymous sources, it crashed approximately 150 million years ago during the age of the dinosaurs.

This information has been posted on the SERPO.org Web site, home to other reports about extraterrestrial visitation reportedly provided by current and former officials of the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA).

The conduit for the information is Victor Martinez, the moderator of an e-mail “stream” information service that focuses on topics related to anomalous phenomena. Martinez has reportedly worked for several U.S. Government agencies.

In late 2005, Martinez wrote that these DIA sources had reached out to him to reveal information about “Project SERPO,” a later code name for a secret “exchange program” in the 1960s, ‘70s and ‘80s between a small team of American military personnel and extraterrestrial visitors who had established contact with the U.S. Government.

Other information reportedly provided by these sources noted that the U.S. Government maintains records collected by both U.S. officials and a race of extraterrestrials that notes visitation to Earth in ancient times.

The most recent information report from the anonymous sources via Martinez makes the claim that “A highly classified, sensitive operation with far-reaching national security implications that took place in 1968.”

ET VISITATION IN DINOSAUR AGE

“A [redacted] archaeological team uncovered a large metallic object in a remote area of southern [redacted] which is a close NATO ally of ours,” according to Martinez’ anonymous sources.

The sources also reportedly told Martinez, “The object was believed to be an alien spacecraft that had crashed approximately 200 million years ago according to the archaeological team. The site subsequently was examined by a USAF recovery team, which then put the age of the alien craft at approximately 150 million years ago.”

As fantastic as this sounds, it is not inconsistent with other speculation that if extraterrestrial visitors have been coming to Earth in recent decades, it is possible they visited in previous centuries and in the far-distant past.

Martinez reports that his sources stated, “Our scientists used the absolute dating method employing decaying radioactive isotopes. Sedimentary rock formations and the fact that the object was embedded into the rock were used to estimate the age of the alien craft.”

“The alien craft itself was 45 feet in diameter,” the sources continued. “The craft was transported to the State of [redacted] and then to the giant [redacted] lab complex in [redacted] and opened.”

“The alien craft contained two highly decomposed alien bodies and decayed animals, which were apparently abducted by these alien beings. The animals were small dinosaurs on board the alien craft.”

ANALYZING THE CRAFT

Martinez states that his sources provided the following information: “The craft was stored at [redacted] and years of intense research were conducted. The last time I checked, the research team ruled out the craft being of Eben origin.”

“Eben” is a name allegedly given to an ET culture who have visited Earth from the Zeta Reticuli star system, were the group who crashed in Roswell and the beings with whom the U.S. shared the exchange program.

The anonymous sources allegedly added, “However, no one could tell where it came from. The alien bodies were far too decomposed to be thoroughly examined. They were about 5 feet tall and had very large, bulbous heads.”

“To the best of my knowledge, 'Operation [redacted]' is still an ongoing project. I personally worked on the operation in the early '70s.”

“The instruments from the craft were interesting because they were made of small crystal-like devices, wired together with a form of very fine wire.”

“The alien propulsion system contained a large chamber with what we called ‘rocks’ (obviously some form of energy) in the chamber. Large vents placed around the chamber vented some sort of power, radiation or some form of tremendous energy generated through the vents and into the propulsion chamber which enabled interstellar space travel.”

The anonymous sources claimed, “Examination of the rocks found zinc, and several unknown materials and alloys which we still cannot identify to this day. The ‘rocks’ obviously lost all of their energy over the years. They were not radioactive nor did they contain any special properties. We could never power up the alien craft in the nearly 40 years we've had possession of it.”

“We could not locate the actual power system and therefore could never operate any of the equipment contained within the craft. However, we did find a 'star chart.' The chart was created from outside of the Earth on the alien home world.”

“To this day, we have been unable to read and decipher the alien star chart. The star chart was of a deep area of space, but our scientists haven't been able to find that specific area of space.”

“ … the amazing … alien technology on this craft has similarly stumped us; while some progress has been made on it since 1968, it's been minimal (partially due to the poor, degraded condition of the alien craft).”

BOGGLES THE MIND

In the posting on SERPO.org and in his e-mail stream, Martinez and his anonymous sources reflect on the implications of what a discovery of this nature means.

“Anonymous” writes, “… the existence of alien civilizations who had already achieved space traveling capabilities zipping around the Milky Way Galaxy (and perhaps others) truly boggles the mind.”

“The Ebens were perhaps still in their ‘galactic diapers’ when these alien beings were already visiting other worlds –150-200 MYA [million years ago] and Homo sapiens did not even exist!”

“One can only wonder and speculate where a civilization – that had already achieved interstellar space travel – would be at today technologically from 150-200 MYA!"

Anonymous and Martinez continued their speculation with Anonymous allegedly stating: “How many star systems have they visited by now? How many other alien civilizations have they made successful contact and interacted with, and perhaps carry on some sort of trade with? How many solar systems have they visited and mapped out in our Milky Way Galaxy and perhaps those of other galaxies?”

“One also has to consider the possibility that rather than this crash having occurred in our timeline of 150-200 MYA, these alien beings traveled to Earth from the future to our distant past – when dinosaurs ruled – as part of a research mission ... that also boggles the mind!” Anonymous said, according to Martinez.

As with all of the Project SERPO information, this latest chapter will surely provoke discussion, doubts about its truthfulness and trigger the imaginations of many readers.

Is it true? Is it some kind of disinformation or phony claim? Is there some truth hidden within inaccurate information?

Is it part of an “acclimation” program to prepare Americans and the human race for the awareness of very interesting and surprising information?

At present, it is not possible for most readers to confirm the truthfulness of the statements Anonymous is reportedly making to Martinez and Martinez is passing on to the public.

What may be helpful for our perspectives, however, is considering that if extraterrestrial visitation to Earth is a reality, then it could have been occurring in time frames beyond what we might have previously thought.

Latest UFO Sightings for August 5, 2008

Here are the latest UFO sightings as reported by Billy Booth at About.com:

Michigan-07-04-08-I was reading your article about the UFO sightings in Michigan and it shocked me. On the Fourth of July around 1:30 AM in Romulus, Michigan, my friends and I were driving home from a party and we came upon some railroad tracks, and had to stop for oncoming traffic to clear. As we did that, my best friend and I were looking up at the stars since it was a really clear night.

We saw 2 orange glowing crafts hovering in the sky, kind of floating back and forth. We both grabbed our cameras and took pictures. I have enclosed the best one we took. We were really freaked out and couldn't explain what they were. As we were looking another car stopped on the other side of us, asking what was wrong and we pointed at the sky and asked the man what he thought they were, and as we did that, they quickly moved away. They definitely were not fireworks and sound similar to the other sightings in Michigan that night. I hope this picture will be useful to you. Do you think the fireworks could have attracted them? The city had fireworks 3 hours earlier, and less than a mile from where we spotted the crafts. source: Clare W.-http://ufos.about.com


Nevada-07-08-08-I saw a very interesting light in Las Vegas, at around 9:38 PM. The light went from a regular white light to bluish as it left the atmosphere toward the southwest. I have never reported anything like this before. I hope maybe someone else saw it too, and I'm not crazy. source: reader submitted-http://ufos.about.com


North Carolina-07-12-08-My friend Shannon and I were outside in the backyard just before sunset. She pointed out that there was a large off-white light in the sky. The sky was partly cloudy, and there were a few stars. No star could be this big. It was the size of a marble held about a foot away from your eye.


It keep moving (from were I was standing) millimeters left and right. We called out my Dad to make sure we weren't crazy. He came out and saw it. We were all standing, and like a minute after he got out there, it flashed. A extremely small, red flashing light was there for about 18 to 20 seconds, and then disappeared in a flash. We all looked as hard as we could and there was nothing in it's place. Nothing we could think of could be out in the sky and just turn out. It scared the xxxx out of us. source: www.mufon.com


Texas-Date unknown-I was at Bingo and was driving my friend home when we saw it. I was on Katy Fort Bend Road in Katy, Texas. It scared us witless. Never have I seen anything like that and I was in the military from 1964 through 1976. Yes, we lived near airports and there was never anything that big or shaped like that at any airports here. Hope this helps you. Joey-source: http://ufos.about.com


Washington-07-10-08-I saw this driving home on State Street. It was too low to be a plane or astronomical phenomenon. It was too high to be part of a boat. The object was large, without movement or sound. It had a yellow color to it and a crescent shape(facing up).


I lost it in the trees/houses. I was curious, yet not compelled to investigate. I had a strange feeling that I should just ignore it. It was not the moon. The moon was exactly at half that night. source: www.mufon.com
