An Oregon witness at Keizer reported a 1962 encounter he had as a 13-year-old when a triangle-shaped object hovered just 40 feet overhead, according to testimony in Case 96936 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was outside “hoeing strawberries” across from his home along Windsor Island Road when the incident began.

“It was on a Saturday afternoon around 2 p.m. and towards the last part of May or early June,” the witness stated. “School was not out for the summer yet. I was alone in the field when I heard a buzzing, humming noise that gradually grew louder. And the first thing I thought of was that a swarm of bees was heading my way. My father always told me to hit the ground and lay flat if we heard a buzzing noise because it could be a swarm of bees, and that was just what I did.”

The witness assumed the sound was the result of bees.

“I didn’t think to look for them until I was laying on the ground, with my hands covering my head, and when I finally did get brave enough to look towards the sound coming from the west, I didn’t see any bees, but the noise kept up and was now coming from above me.”
The witness finally looked up.

“I saw a huge, huge, huge black triangle-shaped object hovering just above me, around a hundred feet or so. It wasn’t moving, but the buzzing, humming sound was still there. Then the object started to come down towards me. I was so scared, I didn’t think to get up and run. I just figured I was a goner, so I just covered my head again, waiting. When I looked up again it had stopped about 40 feet above me. It stayed there for short while and then it turned to my right, tilted up some and moved towards the sky. While it was moving upwards and away from me, it swiveled again towards the east and then it went so fast, that it was gone out of sight, just like that.”
​
The witness watched the object move away.

“It didn’t leave a trail of exhaust or anything, like our airplanes do sometimes, and it wasn’t noisy like them either. It just had that buzzing, humming noise the whole time. When I got home, I told my Foster Mom what I had seen, and she told me to never tell anyone about what I saw. I didn’t for a while, but then I ended up telling just my siblings, and then as the years passed, I told a few other people as well. I hadn’t heard or known anything about UFOs back then, but when I did hear about them years later, I do believe that it had to have been one, since we didn’t have anything like that back then that could do what it did.”

Oregon State Director Tom Bowden investigated and closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

“The witness is reporting a close encounter that she experienced in 1962, when she was 13 years old,” Bowden wrote in his report. I cannot find any reason to doubt her sincerity. In my interactions with her, she seemed entirely rational, credible and sincere. This close encounter with a large object for about 10 minutes at a distance of only about 100 feet leaves little room for doubt about the nature of the object the witness observed.  No conventional aircraft could possibly account for what was reported. This case is being closed with a disposition of “Unknown – UAV.”  Assuming her credibility cannot be called into doubt, my confidence in this decision is very high — 95 percent.”

A British witness at Hemel Hempstead reported watching a triangular-shaped object under 500 feet with an invested, lit-up dome, according to testimony in Case 89653 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The event occurred beginning at 3:35 a.m. on January 17,2018.

“A bright light came through bedroom curtain,” the witness stated. “A triangular vehicle was spotted gliding in a straight line. Underneath the vehicle was an inverted, lit dome virtually touching the three sides. The inverted dome had arched ribs from bottom to top with a center pillar projecting a bright light.”

The witness said he had a perfect view of the object until it disappeared over nearby buildings.

“My first reaction was it was a strange plane out of Luton Airport, then immediately realized it was not a normal aircraft.”

United Kingdom Assistant National Director Michael Price closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.

“Having reviewed the information this case provides me with a somewhat difficult assessment to make,” Price wrote in his report. “The witness is an aircraft enthusiast and being one myself I know how accurately we can identify known aircraft both civilian and military with a lot of accuracy even in the dark. This for me rules out mis-identification of a known aircraft and type.

“The second interesting point to note is the descriptive of the central light not only in its shape and luminosity but also the fact that it was clear enough for the witness to notice that it almost touched the three sides of the triangle. The arched ribs descriptive is very interesting with a central pillar of light. I have heard this described before by whistle-blowers out of AREA 51 and Lockheed that state that bright light given off is plasma charging through the anti-gravity drive which could have a wave expulsion pattern similar to a black hole forcing out light from the top and bottom of the center. This could explain the pillar of light observed with the arched ribs providing the skeleton for the plasma charge containment.

“Without any additional evidence or secondary observed sighting, it is difficult to investigate further but I think based on the short description what was viewed was either a known AV (TR3B or Aurora project) or an Unknown Aerial Vehicle of ETV classification. I have classified the case as UAV in the absence of any reliable identification of TR3B or Aurora military craft.”

​An Arizona witness at Buckeye reported watching a circle-shaped object moving under 1,000 feet at high velocity that made no noise, according to testimony in Case 93454 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The incident occurred when the reporting witness and his wife were setting up a telescope in a local park on a full moon at 11:15 p.m. on June 28, 2018.

“Before the telescope was fully set up, a vertically-aligned, donut-ringed object with yellow-orange light/surface appeared below the moon traveling from southeast to northwest at extremely high velocity and low altitude, roughly 500-1000 feet AGL,” the witness stated. “The object made absolutely no sound but at closest approach was within one mile of our vantage point/location.”
​
The witness is a United States Air Force veteran and Special Operations intelligence analyst who previously held a top-secret with caveats clearance.

“I can say I witnessed a craft to which I have no explanation or knowledge of existing yet can’t explain what my wife and I saw that night. It traveled approximately 50 miles across the sky at low altitude within 15 seconds and yet made no noise. I tried to capture the object on my phone that was in my pocket but was unable to do so in the five seconds it took me to grab my phone due to its extremely high velocity and short observation time.”

Arizona Field Investigator Lisa Carol Bradford closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.
​
“This reporting witness has an extensive military background in the Air Force,” Bradford stated in her report. “His experience includes Special Operations and Operations Command Intelligence. I feel the information he has provided was credible as well as the information given from his wife. Both parties seem level headed and intelligent. No photos or evidence was provided, however, the descriptions provided were clear. A jet engine flare was considered as a possible explanation for this sighting, however, the speed of this object was reported to be 12,000 mph. and was silent. The object appeared out of nowhere, traveled horizontally, then disappeared instantly. Although Luke AFB is 17 miles away, the object’s maneuvers and appearance reported would not be consistent with that of military training or military aircraft.”
