Case 108694:  While the sole witness was watching a “surf webcam” video taken at approximately 10:30 PM at Beacon’s Beach, Encinitas, California, a small orb with an orange-red “tail/exhaust” moved slowly into view.  This occurs at approximately the three-minute mark on the video.  Beacon’s Beach is a popular spot for swimming, surfing, fishing, and other beach activities and is formally named Leucadia State Beach.  The beach is operated by the City of Encinitas and is a California state park.  According to the park’s website, the park is monitored daily by multiple video security cameras.  Based upon the father of the witness’ testimony, the video camera was apparently on an automatic record setting, thus it is not clear exactly how the video was viewed by the son.  The video camera was mounted on the bluff above the beach and at a 45° angle downward toward the beach.  The witness was reported to be older than 18 years of age.

The MUFON investigation team has completed its investigation of the alleged crash of a UFO near MAGÉ BRAZIL. The case, which has been widely circulated on social media outlets, has been determined to be nothing more than an elaborate hoax.
Our National Director for Brazil, A. J. Gevaerd, reported his team’s disposition to MUFON headquarters earlier this week along with a narrative describing the team’s findings. A translated summary of the narrative highlighting the salient points is provided below:
​ 
My team and I have intensively investigated this alleged case and found out that it is a TOTAL HOAX. It started with a fake audio about a supposed UFO crash published over the net, later assumed to be a fabrication by the female author.
 
As time went on the story got bigger and bigger every day, with many alleged witnesses making all sorts of claims, all disconnected from each other, all exaggerated, and mostly lies. Some people even said things like they were “hearing” telepathic requests for help from aliens inside the alleged object crashed, or that there were children in the alleged object crashed crying for help, or that the aliens onboard the alleged crashed object are predatory and eat human meat.

​Case 105422: Admittedly, I’m not much on reporting cases of “lights in the sky at night.”  There are an abundance of those. But this one’s different. For some reason, Arizona has more than its share of good UFO cases.  Perhaps that’s due to a very active Phoenix MUFON membership or maybe something else.  This event originated in the early morning hours (4 AM) on Christmas day of last year and was reported early in 2020.
 
The Event
 
The witness previously installed a “game” camera with a wide-angle lens on a nature trail near the corner of Dynamite and Tatum Roads in Scottsdale, near Phoenix, Arizona.  The camera was set to record infrared videos of wildlife (infrared is a wavelength of light not visible to the human eye).  The black and white image was one frame taken from eight seconds of the infrared video recording.

​In April 2000, T. L. Keller attended what was called the “Ambassador to the Universe Retreat” program.  A small group of UFO hunters and hangers-on met in a one-star hotel in a small sleepy town in a very remote part of the Arizona desert.  A place called Willcox.  Dr. Steven Greer, the founder of the Disclosure Project, CSETI, and Sirius/Disclosure, conducted a lecture that afternoon on CE-5 protocols and techniques — his Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind approach to extraterrestrial contact.  But instead of them contacting us, the objective is for us to peacefully contact them. 
 
That same night, in several cars, we all drove miles out into a very desolate part of southeastern Arizona — no service stations, no fast food, no lights.  There in a circle of lawn chairs in the absolute darkness of night, Greer began his protocols for attracting “them.”  With a combination of intense concentration — no, really, more like meditation — by all members of the party and with the liberal use of 1,000,000 Lumens spotlights aimed at the stars, some very unusual events took place.  Among those were several car alarms going off and one brilliant flash of blue light over Greer’s head.  Other highly unusual events happened too which were unexplainable.

Case 105540:  On a clear day in Pennsylvania, the witness was in his backyard and noticed a silver object high in the sky.  Apparently, using his cell phone camera, he captured several photographs of the object sequentially.  Apparently, the object was silent and without an exhaust.  The witness characterized the object as:
 
“The shape of the object is like two, long metal bars, with a smaller metal bar connecting the two in the middle.  The surface is smooth, silver and shiny.  I have sent the pictures to a local, small airport and asked for their opinion.  They said they really did not know, but it might be an ultralight with pontoons.  Friends online have suggested it might be some variety of drone.  I have searched online for pictures of ultralights and drones and don’t see anything like it.”

Case 105453: Situated in the very northern most of Scotland, the Shetland Islands are surrounded by the North Sea.  Directly east of the event location in the town of Lerwick is Norway.  It was a mixed night with very clear skies, a full Moon and intermittent hail and rain showers.  A couple and their two dogs were walking at 8:35 PM when they saw what was apparently a bright “star” moving from the eastern horizon above the cloud cover. As the “star” moved closer, they could see three points of bright light in an equilateral triangle configuration at a very high altitude.  The three white lights came directly towards them, and they could see that the triangle object was accompanied by two smaller, triangular-shaped objects with identical light configurations.  Both of the smaller triangles were approximately 20% of the size of the large craft.  The three triangles came to a complete stop and “appeared to suspend, motionless in the night sky.”  There was no sound and no emissions.  The large craft appeared to be greater than 300 feet on each side.  Then, the three craft quickly started to move again on the same flight path at a constant speed.  See witnesses’ sketch left.

Case 105882: Two Miami men were watching their neighbors’ fireworks display while sitting and talking under mostly clear skies.  The primary witness saw what he assumed to be a Chinese lantern and called attention to the second witness.  Instead, the second witness, his brother-in-law, immediately identified it as a UFO.  The bright, flame-like, light was slowly ascending.  There appeared to be multiple beams of light emitting from the object.  See the “Object 1” of the witness’ sketch.  The object stopped and then descended directly toward them and stopped again about 60 feet above them.  Silently, the object turned into a “strange light.”  Shortly thereafter, the object shot up vertically and at an incredible speed.  The primary witness’ initial identification as a Chinese lantern or a drone vanished as fast as the object departed Miami.

Case 105915: Sadly, this incident involved only one, male witness in the city of Canberra, Australia.  Canberra is near the southeast corner of Australia in the province of New South Wales and is the capital city.  Canberra is approximately 45 miles from the Tasman Sea, directly east of the witness’ location. His testimony follows:
 
“I went outside into the backyard at 5 AM to enjoy the coolness of the morning.  We have been experiencing summer heat of 30° – 40° C (86° – 104° F).  I was looking to the east [toward the Tasman Sea] and southeast watching the Sun’s glow of the night sky increase just before daybreak.  I noticed what seemed to me at first to be a satellite, but as I watched it approach from the south heading due north and just off the east of me, I realized it was getting bigger.  I made out two distinct lights facing forward [see upper part of sketch below], but they were not parallel to each other, as if they were mounted diagonally on a curved nose, the beams of light emitted seemed to only extend 25 – 30 meters (75 – 100 feet) which were reflecting now and then off the morning haze which was rising as it went through it. 
 
“As it got closer I saw a distinct oval shape to the front of it, and the two lights at the front were more visible with the beams extending outwards and away from each other and slightly downward.  It was at this point that it had almost reached due east of me when it started to turn to the east, and I was able to see, what I assumed was the side of it.  It was long, cylindrical, silver/grey and had a row of larger lights than the front ones running the length of the cylinder.  I counted 9 lights on the side and watched it head due east towards the horizon holding that position.

Case 105802: This incident occurred in Inman, South Carolina, and was reported to the South Carolina State Director, Cheryl Ann Gilmore, on January 24, 2020.  The witness had returned home at 10 PM, and thought he saw a “Phillips 66 sign” hovering 300 yards away from his home just above a tree line.  He wondered how a gas station sign could have been erected during his two hour absence.  His sketch of the orb is shown on the left.

Case 105754: This incident occurred at a lake near Toimi, Minnesota, at midnight.  As quoted from the primary witness’ statement:
 
“After watching several television documentaries and the recent acknowledgement by the US Navy 1, I have to say something.  I may have seen more in this area as well.  What’s even more crazy, I may have been visited after the initial sighting.  My girlfriend, my cousin and I were staying at my deer shack with the intention of night fishing at a nearby lake for walleyes.  My cousin was fast asleep on a recliner.  My girlfriend and I, however, only had a couple of drinks because the priority for us was catching some fish.
 
“So, we left my cousin at the shack and headed over to the lake. We got to the lake and launched the boat that we had previously brought over there.  We motored over to the little rock pile where I wanted to try fishing with some lighted bombers.  We started fishing and caught a couple of nice walleyes.  It was a beautiful crystal clear night without a stitch of wind.
