The following is selected edited witness testimony from Assigned Cases for February 2013. All of these cases are currently under investigation by MUFON field investigators.
February 11, 2013, 8:30 p.m., Longwood, Seminole County, FL, Case 45682.
“My teenage daughter was driving home from the store at about 8:30 p.m. last night,” the witness stated. “As we were coming down the block I noticed a green, small light cross the road at about 20 feet overhead that left a trail as it moved. My first thought was a lightning bug, but I then realized it was too big to be and I never see lightning bugs here. We pulled into the driveway and I jumped out of the car looking up. It was then about 10 to 15 feet overhead and moved diagonally but was now red and also leaving a trail. As it moved all you could see was a color trail and no object. I was never able to actually see an object which blew my mind because it was not that far! I looked toward the tree tops across the street and saw a white light blink once and never saw it again. I just stood there dumbfounded trying to understand what it was that I just saw. I started to feel faint or woozy and decided to go inside. As soon as I went inside my husband asked me what I was looking at and I said I saw something. He then began to describe the same thing with the same colors that he had seen earlier in the evening before I could describe to him what I saw. It seemed as if it was crisscrossing the street going over homes for some reason and felt as if it was alive in some way? I am having a hard time explaining the experience.”
February 17, 2013, 6 p.m., Papaaloa, HI, Case 45764.
“I was sitting on my front porch, having a cigarette when I looked up and saw a black spot a little ways off in the distance,” the witness stated. “I didn’t think anything of it until I noticed that it wasn’t moving. There was a bit of wind so if it had been a bird, kite or something similar it wouldn’t be that still. I watched it carefully to see if I could identify it, but it appeared to be morphing shape from having a boomerang type shape to being a saucer, to being a perfect orb. It moved a few times from the southwest to the southeast direction, each time stopping and hovering perfectly still for a few moments before moving a little more. Suddenly, it dropped straight down a bit and then headed off to the east. I ran inside and grabbed binoculars as well as getting my dad to come outside with me. We both observed it hovering again, perfectly still just above the tree tops (Although it must’ve been behind them, depth is hard to discern against the sky). I looked through the binoculars to see that the color of the object was cobalt blue and shiny. Like car paint. There were no lights and no sound. Right after observing it through the binoculars, it disappeared completely. This all took around half an hour-ish and I stayed outside about another hour longer, hoping to witness something further but to no avail.”
February 9, 2013, 7:30 p.m., Charlottesville County, VA, Case 45663.
“I was watching Matlock around 7:30 p.m.,” the witness stated. “Father yelled as I ran out with video cam in hand. The UFO was hovering above the house as the lights turned red to green and white to blue and Yellow-Orange moving north to south. Five minutes later a black helicopter with a searchlight came from west to north. Then 30 seconds later two jets past from east moving to the north.”
February 2, 2013, 5:50 p.m., Dutchess County, NY, Case 45570.
“I was driving on Route 9 north near Academy Street in Poughkeepsie, NY,” the witness stated. “ I first noticed the object as what looked like a plane crashing or falling out if the sky. It had red and white lights. As I got closer it swooped down near the tree tops at a 45-degree angle. It was metal and comparable to the size of a small plane, diamond or triangular in shape with some type of tail with lights. It had a strange depth to it. Many other cars were on the road that night who may have witnessed this. When I realized it was not a plane I screamed. I continued to drive due to traffic and high speed. It was off to right top side as I drove off. I considered turning around to take pictures, but I was too afraid since I was by myself. I went home and told my husband and called in the sighting. No one has yet to come forward as I am hoping they will. I have contacted the local paper. I have been trying to deny to myself what I saw. It was disturbing and difficult to make sense of. Anyone who saw this, please report it. You will not be ostracized. You can call the local police or newspaper. I have also reported to the national reporting center.”
January 12, 2013, Ciscero, Hamilton County, IN, Case 45704.
“Coming south on Interstate 31, I made a right turn on Interstate 47 heading west,” the witness stated. “Place is Bakers Corner just west of 47. Saw a light coming down and I thought it was a plane coming in for landing. I leaned forward to get an idea what direction it was to the right side of my car. I was looking through my windshield. Looking up I saw a red light about 40 feet up and it changed to a bright light and then to a bluish light. This light had about a three to four foot diameter and I could see it was recessed. That’s when I noticed the red light was above and to the rear of the car. At that time the lights blinked off. I was trying to locate them when I looked in the mirror and saw a vehicle with one light coming up behind me. I proceeded driving that vehicle followed me. When I got to Interstate 421 the vehicle was no longer there. I thought it may have been a tower at that location. I went back a few days later and there was no tower. There are a few towers in the area but none had the shape of lights that I saw. Whatever it was seemed to have stopped right above us and the trees. It bothered me that I couldn’t get a better look. That’s why I went back to the area.”
