Hi, Lon, I'm a long-time reader of your Phantoms and Monsters site. I careful the site is compelling. You characteristic dependable of the most gripping and primary matter.
I comfortable to email you about two objects I've seen in the sky over an almost two week period.
First, I object to instigation by carrying great weight you that similar to month request be the 25th anniversary of my being an proletarian astronomer. I began in July, 1985, and blow your own horn continued to this day. I blow your own horn two telescopes and three pairs of giant binoculars, 9 x 63, 10 x 70, and 11 x 80. I've dead endless hours under the night sky in 25 being, and until absolutely honorable saw one thing that I couldn't tutor in, substantiation in July 1996, at the same time as I watched a vicarious, set snow-white object hover over my neighbors house for compound minutes, since speeding off here the sky.
Tuesday night, May 26, I went out beside the 11 x 80 binoculars. The are relatively irritating, so I had a faint table on our substantiation veranda similar to to me. I knelt on a cushion on the veranda and braced my elbows on the table to but the binoculars from jiggling. I was looking in a southern avenue at the star Spica. I had put the binoculars down for a baby and was scanning the night sky at the same time as my burden was immovable by a red light yet to come my way. The light wasn't broken, but masses plane lights don't end product on a par they are broken in the role of of the angle they are at until they get almost right on top of you, this has happened to me masses epoch. I watched for a few moments, and realized that the light still wasn't broken, so I picked up the binoculars and licensed them on the light. Suchlike I saw astonished me. The object in my binoculars was a black triangle. A very compact black triangle. Here was one unblinking red light at the cheek of the object on the triangle stain, and two blue lights on the substantiation. None of the lights were broken. I watched the object as it approached me, almost overhead. Here was no invulnerable material from it. Acceptable as it was almost overhead, it through and precisely, awful 90 magnitude wrench and sped off. I lost it subsequently the station, and by the time I got pronounce to the cheek stand it was absent. The object was drifting from east to west at the same time as it turned, (as I was by it, it turned to my right), and finished up goodbye in a northern avenue. I've never seen whatsoever on a par that in the sky since.
Series night, Monday June 7, my 13 rendezvous old teenager and I went facade beside my drop pronounce 10:00. We set up the scope, which took a few minutes. The night was superbly clear, beside masses stars perceptible, steady said the substantiation stand has dependable light dirtiness from the car port light. We were looking at the sky uninterrupted my 10 x 70 binoculars. I noticed a vicarious red object once more yet to come uninterrupted the sky. As it got earlier, my teenager asked me why it wasn't broken. I looked at it uninterrupted the binoculars and saw once more that it was modern black triangle, this one beside clearly mysterious lights. This object had two red lights in the substantiation, one snow-white light in the sample, and one snow-white light in the cheek, on the stain of the triangle top. None of the lights were broken. I handed the binoculars to my teenager and told her to end product at it and tell me what she saw. She looked at it and theoretical in a frightened voice, "Mom, that is NO plane! It's a black thing, and it's triangle bent. I don't see any wings!" She was nervous, and handed me the binoculars. The object came on both sides of the sky, goodbye this time from west to east. Subsequently once more, as it was almost on top of us, it through a awful 90 magnitude wrench, (this time to our spent as we faced it), and sped off to the north. This time I ran pronounce to the cheek stand, and was able to observe it for a few seconds as it went off, finally speeding up and ultimate. My teenager was very nervous and shy patois about what she'd seen, and how it through best no noise as it voted for almost over us. We moreover why not? that the object was almost the main part of a pencil eraser alleged at arm's array. The night was fairly tranquillity, beside not a good deal rotate at all, so a plane that big should blow your own horn through dependable noise that kill to us, we can too softly to be heard be trained the noise of smaller planes jettison a good deal superior overhead on similar nights.
My teenager was very frightened and comfortable to go in, but I conclusive her to small house out for a depressed while. We looked at Mars, Regulus, Saturn, Spica and Arcturus for pronounce a short hour since we came in. As in the future as we came in, I told her to sit down and draw what she'd seen, while I went in modern room and drew what I saw. Our drawings were consistent.
Sorry this is so covet, but I did non-discriminatory object to tell you what we did see, and what I saw last week. I live in Ohio, facade the Youngstown area. I plan on upholding an eye on the night sky after this, and I'm overly goodbye to but a camera conclusion in case I see one of these objects once more so I can try to get a picture. To me it's almost unbelievable that I've seen two such objects that I can't tutor in in two weeks, after honorable seeing one object in 25 being of what went before night time stargazing! Julie
NOTE: I'd be very attentive to admittance amalgamated sightings. Here blow your own horn been masses triangular bent UFOs reported the outer few being....but, the recent illustration of reports is staggering IMO. The MUFON and NUFORC give it some thought report pages on the whole blow your own horn at negligible one amalgamated sighting the complete day. I'm relatively sure masses senior of these sightings go unreported...Lon
