Hi there John my wife took this photo while we were on our way home from college about three years ago and still am not that sure what it is. These two lights were very bright, so bright they could been seen clear as day from over a mile away. The highway we were on was I-76 heading South from Akron to Lodi about 1 mile from Lodi. It also couldn’t have came from any modern air craft due to it not having any flight indicators and not making any sound what so ever. 

On top of that the object was directly above the median of the highway about 200 to 300 feet in the sky. Some of my friends have came back and said that it was a blimp but after we went under it going at 70 mph the craft was gone and I couldn’t find it anywhere in my rear-view mirror in which I should have been able to see it in less than a minute in which not allowing a blimp to move that far. 

Note from The Black Vault: Originally, I offered the witness the following response:

Hello XXXXX,

I am not sure if this helps, but I thought I would add this. 

I have seen quite a few photos like this, and I am going to use a trail camera case that was caught a year or two ago on camera. Although it is the reflection of the eyes of a deer in the camera lens, I feel the effect is the same. Check out: http://www.nbcnews.com/science/weird-science/caught-headlights-experts-explain-deer-cam-ufo-n76156

I think what you are seeing, are the two lights of the oncoming car, and the bright headlights. They create an effect in the lens of the camera. 

If you edit the photo and move the lights over the car, they appear to be a match when it comes to distance apart, relative to the car. 

I hope this is a valid theory and of interest to you. I am not trying to diminish what you saw, but it does seem similar to many other solved cases.

However, their response was the fact that the object was seen with the naked eye, and if true, thus rules out a reflection in the camera lens or on the car windshield. Their response was as follows:

Have a theory? Comment below.

The following was submitted to The Black Vault. It is used here with permission. Please note, the video does not have the correct date on the window burn due to incorrect settings.

Witness Summary

This video was made with a Luna Optics color night vision camera LN-DM50-HRSD.

It is 5X but can go to 20X. This was approx. at 9:00 on July 4th, 2015 at the Sabino Canyon parking lot situated in the northeast edge of Tucson. I’ve always left the time stamp of my videos at its original 2011 so ignore that. The sky was completely overcast over the Catalina Mtns. The small dots you see on the screen are normal for night vision cameras and are not stars in the sky.

The very first couple of seconds shows some odd lights in the right of the frame. Those are the radio towers on the mountain out of focus thus making them look odd.

There were a few cars coming and and going out of the parking lot and they account for some of the light shifts. Unfortunately I zoomed in too much and it destroyed the clarity of the video but it still captures the amazing event that we witnessed.

There are a couple of times I adjust the focus and it makes the 3 lights of the UFO seem to morph but that is only, again, me focusing. The main 3 lights stayed distinct in the sky and only look like they become one light and then back to 3 because of my tinkering.

The eyewitness also submitted a corroborating video, from a friend, who also shot the same event. Here is the video:

Note from The Black Vault

After seeing the radio towers in the daylight video, I went ahead and asked the witness for clarification, to ensure the lights were not around the radio tower itself.  This was his response:

The radio towers are approx. 8 to 10 miles away from where we videoed. The UFO had to have been at least 30 miles away to be in that good of a focus since airplanes 8 to 10 away require me to adjust my focus. The radio tower lights are way out of focus and yet the UFO is in focus since I leave my lens at a setting that on this particular camera has stars, satellites and far off planes in focus without me having to change the focal setting. The radio tower light can only be seen in the first couple seconds of the video to the far right edge of the frame. Hope that helps but if not please ask for more clarification.

Details on the Location

The following was submitted by the eyewitness, to better explain the location of the sighting:

The radio towers are on Mt. Bigelow that just a part of the greater Catalina Range and the towers are now confirmed to be about 8 miles from the parking lot at Sabino. Panoramio – Photo of Mt. Bigelow Broadcast Tower Site, East of Tucson, Az Bigelow is just to the left of Willow Canyon on the following map and the pointer at the end of the red line is likely where the UFO was way out in the middle of desert wilderness. It may have been closer but it was certainly beyond the mountain range. The line in the photo at the bottom right begins at the Sabino Canyon parking lot and goes to where the UFO approx. was at the pointer.

Case Closed

On October 12, 2015, I received the below letter from the witness. There has been much speculation and investigation, and it is possible, though he won’t say with absolute certainty, that this is resolved. The letter read as follows:

Twitter is humming about a YouTube video and some photos that may or may not show UFOs over Houston.

The images were shot Aug. 11 during a rain storm with dramatic thunder and lightning, and they have been reposted and cited many times. The video was shot from a moving car, and the photos may be screenshots from the video.

On Friday, Twitter posts with some version of the phrase, “Mass UFO Sighting Over Houston Texas Lights Up Social Media” were still common.

They ranged in tone from the straightforward to philosophical to tongue-in-cheek: “its my birthday and there have been ufo sightings all over houston. coincidence? i think not.”

Another commenter said, “UFO over Houston? Just NASA.” That prompted this reply: “NASA has successfully built a flying saucer.”

A local expert on UFO sightings said this one could be easily explained.

Fletcher Gray, the volunteer chief investigator for the Texas chapter of the Mutual UFO Network, known as MUFON, said the mysterious circle of lights was a reflection of highway lights since the video was shot through a car window.

“It’s no more than light trapped in the side window,” said Gray, noting that he was curious about the source of the photos.

Description: We saw lights of perfect circular shape. They were very bright lights above the thick clouds.

They remained stationary for a few minutes (about 10 minutes) and then disappeared. My whole family saw this phenomenon. We live in a very quiet area. There were no lights beamed from below. It wasn’t moving in the air like a kite with lights.

UFOs NorthWest Note: Some will say that these lights are a reflection from the ground.

I say no (as did the witnesses). The lights were observed (and photographed).

They persisted for 10 minutes and then abruptly vanished.

The photos were taken with a Canon EOS REBEL T3 digital camera. This is a “high end” camera with a high resolution.

Official NASA Caption: A cluster of mysterious bright spots on dwarf planet Ceres can be seen in this image, taken by NASA’s Dawn spacecraft from an altitude of 2,700 miles (4,400 kilometers).

The image, with a resolution of 1,400 feet (410 meters) per pixel, was taken on June 9, 2015.

What are we looking at?: While taking a photo of the dwarf planet Ceres, NASA’s DAWN spacecraft captured these mysterious and unexplained lights on the surface.

Of course, this could easily be a reflection on ice of something rather mundane, but, NASA scientists have yet to explain whatever it is these lights are. Usually, ice reflections could be somewhat easily proven, however it can not in this case.

Official NASA Press Release in June of 2015: 

Ceres Spots Continue to Mystify in Latest Dawn Images

The closer we get to Ceres, the more intriguing the distant dwarf planet becomes. New images of Ceres from NASA’s Dawn spacecraft provide more clues about its mysterious bright spots, and also reveal a pyramid-shaped peak towering over a relatively flat landscape.

“The surface of Ceres has revealed many interesting and unique features. For example, icy moons in the outer solar system have craters with central pits, but on Ceres central pits in large craters are much more common. These and other features will allow us to understand the inner structure of Ceres that we cannot sense directly,” said Carol Raymond, deputy principal investigator for the Dawn mission, based at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

Dawn has been studying the dwarf planet in detail from its second mapping orbit, which is 2,700 miles (4,400 kilometers) above Ceres. A new view of its intriguing bright spots, located in a crater about 55 miles (90 kilometers) across, shows even more small spots in the crater than were previously visible.

At least eight spots can be seen next to the largest bright area, which scientists think is approximately 6 miles (9 kilometers) wide. A highly reflective material is responsible for these spots — ice and salt are leading possibilities, but scientists are considering other options, too.

Dawn’s visible and infrared mapping spectrometer allows scientists to identify specific minerals present on Ceres by looking at how light is reflected. Each mineral reflects the range of visible and infrared-light wavelengths in a unique way, and this signature helps scientists determine the components of Ceres. So, as the spacecraft continues to send back more images and data, scientists will learn more about the mystery bright spots.

In addition to the bright spots, the latest images also show a mountain with steep slopes protruding from a relatively smooth area of the dwarf planet’s surface. The structure rises about 3 miles (5 kilometers) above the surface.

Ceres also has numerous craters of varying sizes, many of which have central peaks. There is ample evidence of past activity on the surface, including flows, landslides and collapsed structures. It seems that Ceres shows more remnants of activity than the protoplanet Vesta, which Dawn studied intensively for 14 months in 2011 and 2012.

Dawn is the first mission to visit a dwarf planet, and the first to orbit two distinct targets in our solar system. It arrived at Ceres, the largest object in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, on March 6, 2015.

Dawn will remain in its current altitude until June 30, continuing to take images and spectra of Ceres in orbits of about three days each. It then will move into its next orbit at an altitude of 900 miles (1,450 kilometers), arriving in early August.

Dawn’s mission is managed by JPL for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Dawn is a project of the directorate’s Discovery Program, managed by NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. UCLA is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. Orbital ATK Inc., in Dulles, Virginia, designed and built the spacecraft. The German Aerospace Center, Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Italian Space Agency and Italian National Astrophysical Institute are international partners on the mission team.

Additional Photographs Released March 22, 2016

Bright Spots and Color Differences Revealed on Ceres

Scientists from NASA’s Dawn mission unveiled new images from the spacecraft’s lowest orbit at Ceres, including highly anticipated views of Occator Crater, at the 47th annual Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in The Woodlands, Texas, on Tuesday.

Occator Crater, measuring 57 miles (92 kilometers) across and 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) deep, contains the brightest area on Ceres, the dwarf planet that Dawn has explored since early 2015. The latest images, taken from 240 miles (385 kilometers) above the surface of Ceres, reveal a dome in a smooth-walled pit in the bright center of the crater. Numerous linear features and fractures crisscross the top and flanks of this dome.  Prominent fractures also surround the dome and run through smaller, bright regions found within the crater.

“Before Dawn began its intensive observations of Ceres last year, Occator Crater looked to be one large bright area. Now, with the latest close views, we can see complex features that provide new mysteries to investigate,” said Ralf Jaumann, planetary scientist and Dawn co-investigator at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Berlin. “The intricate geometry of the crater interior suggests geologic activity in the recent past, but we will need to complete detailed geologic mapping of the crater in order to test hypotheses for its formation.”

Color Differences

The team also released an enhanced color map of the surface of Ceres, highlighting the diversity of surface materials and their relationships to surface morphology. Scientists have been studying the shapes of craters and their distribution with great interest. Ceres does not have as many large impact basins as scientists expected, but the number of smaller craters generally matches their predictions. The blue material highlighted in the color map is related to flows, smooth plains and mountains, which appear to be very young surface features.

“Although impact processes dominate the surface geology on Ceres, we have identified specific color variations on the surface indicating material alterations that are due to a complex interaction of the impact process and the subsurface composition,” Jaumann said. “Additionally, this gives evidence for a subsurface layer enriched in ice and volatiles.”

Counting Neutrons

Data relevant to the possibility of subsurface ice is also emerging from Dawn’s Gamma Ray and Neutron Detector (GRaND), which began acquiring its primary data set in December. Neutrons and gamma rays produced by cosmic ray interactions with surface materials provide a fingerprint of Ceres’ chemical makeup.  The measurements are sensitive to elemental composition of the topmost yard (meter) of the regolith.

In Dawn’s lowest-altitude orbit, the instrument has detected fewer neutrons near the poles of Ceres than at the equator, which indicates increased hydrogen concentration at high latitudes. As hydrogen is a principal constituent of water, water ice could be present close to the surface in polar regions.

“Our analyses will test a longstanding prediction that water ice can survive just beneath Ceres’ cold, high-latitude surface for billions of years,” said Tom Prettyman, the lead for GRaND and Dawn co-investigator at the Planetary Science Institute, Tucson, Arizona.

The Mystery of Haulani Crater

But the subsurface does not have the same composition all over Ceres, according to data from the visible and infrared mapping spectrometer (VIR), a device that looks at how various wavelengths of sunlight are reflected by the surface, allowing scientists to identify minerals.

Haulani Crater in particular is an intriguing example of how diverse Ceres is in terms of its surface material composition. This irregularly-shaped crater, with its striking bright streaks of material, shows a different proportion of surface materials than its surroundings when viewed with the VIR instrument. While the surface of Ceres is mostly made of a mixture of materials containing carbonates and phyllosilicates, their relative proportion varies across the surface.

“False-color images of Haulani show that material excavated by an impact is different than the general surface composition of Ceres. The diversity of materials implies either that there is a mixed layer underneath, or that the impact itself changed the properties of the materials,” said Maria Cristina de Sanctis, the VIR instrument lead scientist, based at the National Institute of Astrophysics, Rome.

Water at Oxo

Dawn scientists also reported in an LPSC scientific session that the VIR instrument has detected water at Oxo Crater, a young, 6-mile-wide (9-kilometer-wide) feature in Ceres’ northern hemisphere. This water could be bound up in minerals or, alternatively, it could take the form of ice.

Jean-Philippe Combe of the Bear Fight Institute, Winthrop, Washington, said that this water-bearing material could have been exposed during a landslide or an impact — perhaps even a combination of the two events.

Oxo is the only place on Ceres where water has been detected at the surface so far. Dawn will continue to observe this area.

The Big Picture

Dawn made history last year as the first mission to reach a dwarf planet, and the first to orbit two distinct extraterrestrial targets — both of them in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. The mission conducted extensive observations of Vesta during its 14-month orbit there in 2011-2012.

“We’re excited to unveil these beautiful new images, especially Occator, which illustrate the complexity of the processes shaping Ceres’ surface. Now that we can see Ceres’ enigmatic bright spots, surface minerals and morphology in high resolution, we’re busy working to figure out what processes shaped this unique dwarf planet. By comparing Ceres with Vesta, we’ll glean new insights about the early solar system,” said Carol Raymond, deputy principal investigator for the Dawn mission, based at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California.

Dawn’s mission is managed by JPL for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Dawn is a project of the directorate’s Discovery Program, managed by NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. UCLA is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. Orbital ATK Inc., in Dulles, Virginia, designed and built the spacecraft. The German Aerospace Center, Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Italian Space Agency and Italian National Astrophysical Institute are international partners on the mission team.

How was this photo taken?: This photo was taken by the DAWN Spacecraft.

According to NASA:

Dawn delves into the unknown and achieves what’s never been attempted before. A mission in NASA’s Discovery Program, Dawn orbited and explored the giant protoplanet Vesta in 2011-2012, and now it is in orbit and exploring a second new world, dwarf planet Ceres.

Dawn’s goal is to characterize the conditions and processes of its earliest history by investigating in detail two of the largest protoplanets remaining intact since their formation. Ceres and Vesta reside in the main asteroid belt, the extensive region between Mars and Jupiter, along with many other smaller bodies. Each followed a very different evolutionary path, constrained by the diversity of processes that operated during the first few million years of solar system evolution. When Dawn visits Ceres and Vesta, the spacecraft steps us back in solar system time.

Name: D. H., Age 41, male
Date experience began: Week before New Year’s (2004) – Friday
Time of Day: When Red light was in trailer, it was around 11:30 p.m. (see below)
Where: Eatonville, WA about 36 miles north of Mount Rainier. Trailer was near garage at a friend’s house.

We were recently exposed to an interesting case involving a possible abduction from a travel trailer in Western Washington State. The alleged incident began on Friday, 26 December, 2003 just before midnight. D. H., age 41 and male was wakened in his Roust-a-bout travel trailer at approximately 11:30 p.m. by a sound, light or movement that, at this time, he is unable to fully identify. However, upon waking he clearly saw a red orb that was approximately three inches in diameter. “It was the size of a baseball,” he stated. From the surface of the red ball, to another inch or so, a mist of red light shone. The total diameter, including the misty edge, was about five inches. Although the red light was “hazy” as regards its distinctness, it lit up the entire interior compartment of the trailer. “It was an extremely bright light,” he said.

At the time, his travel trailer was parked behind a friend’s home near the garage in Eatonville, Washington, about 36 miles north of Mount Rainier. Prior to being wakened, D. H. was sleeping under four blankets and between two sheets. He was wearing no clothes at the time, but the blankets were sufficient to keep him warm, even though the trailer was kept at approximately 65 degrees Fahrenheit. The trailer was a fully self-contained travel trailer, but had no shower.

It should be noted that D. H. is an extremely tidy person, almost to a fault. He showers (indoors) every day and washes his hands before eating, etc. Perhaps because he is a master plumber by trade (licensed in the State of Washington), he has developed a habit of always putting things away properly and in their place after using them and carefully. In that same regard, he always locks all doors and windows at night. His trailer was “spic and span” clean that night.

The light that woke D. H. up that evening was at the foot of his bed, in the center, near the entryway to the trailer. It was floating two feet above and one foot further down from his feet (away from his body).

He was lying on his left side when he opened his eyes and saw light. He lay there on his left side for a minute and a half watching the light before turning over to his right side very slowly maintaining his head upon the pillow – and then watched the light for approximately another minute. This was when D. H. noticed the time on the clock. “It was 11:30-something,” he said.

He told us that he had never seen anything like this in his entire life. The red light (orb) was highly luminous and “lit up the trailer in an amazing fashion while hovering in the exact same spot,” he stated. Ordinarily, he couldn’t have been able to even read the time on the clock in the dark.

Then, he leaned up on his right elbow very slowly. The light moved about a half an inch further inside the trailer (to the left) and then bolted out the door so fast, he couldn’t actually see the light’s movement. D. H. was unaware until that moment that the trailer door was open. He always closes and locks that door — and even always checks on it by shaking the handle and pushing on it several times to insure it’s locked. (This door would be on the passenger side of any vehicle pulling it.)

It should be noted at this point that D. H. had had just previously repaired the entire right side of the trailer including the door.

The door slammed behind the light that “flew” out. Interestingly, D. H. said that he was not frightened the entire time. He was simply amazed at what he had seen. He had never ever seen such a light.

It actually made him jolt when trailer door slammed. He was still under the covers.

At this point, he lit a cigarette and lay there (after turning back on left shoulder) thinking about what he had just seen until he finished the cigarette. This took three to five minutes, he said. After that, he got up, turned on the lights (two lights– one over stove and one over bed area) and got a glass of water. Having poured the water, he then unscrewed the bulb over stove, got back in bed, covered up and lay there thinking about what had just happened. He turns the light over the stove on and off by screwing and unscrewing the bulb.

While only the light over his bed was on, he lay there thinking about this event for a full 25 minutes before leaning up and unscrewing the bulb over his bed (his manner of turning off the light). He was thinking, “Why did this happen? Why was this going on?” for those 25 minutes. He told us that he never doubted that it happened. “It was NOT a dream.” He is still very emphatic on this point!

In any event, after the 25 minutes had elapsed, he went to sleep.

It wasn’t until he awoke the next morning that he noticed that he had a bump on the back on his head. It was a good sized bump and yet, he felt better than he had in months. The bump only hurt when he touched it – and even then it was only slightly sore. In fact, he only knew the bump was there when he scratched his head because he felt an itch where the bump was. The bump protruded outwards out about half an inch. (Investigator: It’s still slightly noticeable one month later.) Of note is that D. H. noticed no appreciable loss or gain of time during this incident.

Indeed, it was only after he got out of bed the next morning (about 7:30 a.m.) and had turned off the alarm clock, turned on his coffee machine and was sitting on the foot of his bed when he noticed the itch mentioned above and how “happy” he felt. This was not like anything (drugs, alcohol, whatever) that he had ever felt. He was just in “a really good mood.” It was at this time that he first noticed the itch, the bump and the slight soreness when he touched the bump. But again, it should be emphasized that none of these things changed his happiness.

He sat at the foot of the bed waiting for the coffee to be ready and thinking about the events from the night before and how happy he was.

He looked over to his right and noticed that the door trim on the floor (which sticks up about a full inch) had a one-and-a-half inch dent in it. The trim was dented outward. That piece of trim was previously perfectly straight and he knew that because he had only recently fixed that entire side of the trailer. Incidentally, you can step on the trim as hard as you wish – even with boots – and not cause any dent at all. (We have verified this fact.) D.H. has subsequently straightened the trim.

The next night at just before 8:00 p.m., he lay down in bed, closed his eyes for a minute to relax from the day, and had a flashback for about a second and a half of someone pulling him by his ankles out of his bed. All of the covers had been removed from his body and he was terrified as he was being dragged feet-first from his bed and through the trailer door. His legs were crossed and he was dragged by two “hands” of some sort.

He then got out of his bed and then realized that the dent was probably caused by his head striking the trim at the bottom of the door. He thinks he was dropped accidentally by “whoever.”

Three nights afterwards (Monday night), something jumped onto the top of his trailer (still in Eatonville) … heard a thump and then a slight scuffling. No tree near trailer nor near garage next to where trailer was parked. This happened about 9:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. He then wired his door shut from the inside. He has been doing this ever since. This, even though the door can be locked. That same evening, he thought he heard something scratching around trying to open the small key-locked storage compartment (but large enough for a human to crawl through) on the side of his trailer. It has an outside covering panel.

A couple of weeks later (roughly ten days later), he visited with his mother in Western Washington. It was about 1:30 a.m. (middle of the night and everyone had gone to bed except D. H.) and he was about to fall asleep in the home when he got a flashback. The flashback was of a large dark-dark gray face (right in D. H. ’s face about two feet away) with large black or dark gray face with thin arms – he saw only between wrist and elbow and saw no ears, mouth, hair or nose. The flashback was of the Alien’s face and that face was directly in D. H.’ s face in the trailer while D. H. was in his bed. The flashback was in color and quite vivid – and “alive.” It should be noted that D.H. almost never dreams in color. Although D.H. has seen such pictures of aliens, this flashback was “live” — similar to flashback of being pulled from bed some nights earlier (above). This flashback really frightened D. H. a lot. He didn’t get back into bed until 4:30 a.m. and not to sleep until after 5:00 a.m. He wired his mother’s back door shut then and the door remains wired today.

Such flashbacks have never occurred in D. H. ’s life before.

On early a.m. (2:30 a.m.) of 19 January 2004, a dull white light (rectangular — about 6″ by 2″) appeared on D.H. ‘s trailer wall – then immediately disappeared. Energy seemed to be drained from D.H. ‘s body this time – not greatly, but somewhat.

At around 2 am on February 15, 2004 the owner of the property where D.H. had parked his trailer noticed someone climbing a tree near D.H.’s trailer. When the owner went outside and yelled at the “tree climber” he saw no one nor received an answer. The owner then went to bed. The next morning D.H. said that someone had punched several neatly arranged holes in the tin foil that D.H. had spread over the exterior windows in his trailer. (Since having these experiences D.H. has become paranoid about securing locks and covering windows.) When the property owner told D.H. about the tree climber, he became very frightened.

All of this is puzzling to D.H. inasmuch as he has never believed in UFOs/Aliens and has even teased persons who do, including his own mother..

D.H. Has another encounter on November 11, 2004 in Anchorage, Alaska:

Although D. H. moved to the State of Alaska in the early summer of 2004 and is/was living in Anchorage, Alaska during the Autumn of 2004 when he had another occurrence of an “alien intrusion” into his life.  It occurred at 2:30 a.m. on 11 November 2004.  He was awakened after having a rather prominent dream.  No lights were on in the bedroom of the home within which he is living in Anchorage, but he saw the very clear image of a non-human figure in his bedroom through the mirror.  No attempt to communicate (speak or telecommunicate) was made (by either), but the figure emitted a dull but noticeable white light.

1. H. could only see the upper torso and head, but was certain that the figure was fully seven and a half feet tall.  Its face was very human-like except that it had the usual “gray” attributes of a small slit for a mouth, no ears and a tiny nose. The eyes were perfectly round — not almond-shaped as is true of the “classic Gray” — and seemed large.  No hair was visible.  It’s color was grayish-green and its skin was slightly pocked (not very smooth) as best he could recall. He was unable to see the lower part of the torso through the mirror; however, it was wearing no noticeable garments.

The room could not have been entered through its one door or the small crank-opened window behind the television set.  He looked for and found no signs of forced entry after the “being” simply disappeared after about five seconds.  This is the first strange incidence of any kind since his activities in Ocean Shores during the winter of 2004.

The Encounters Continue – Dec. 4, 2004 (Anchorage, Alaska) DH first notices large scar on rear of upper leg.  He is quite frightened by this situation because he is certain that he did get this scar from any known injury.  (We have supplied DH with a camera in the hopes that he can photograph future events.)

DH Sees More Lights – Dec. 11, 2004 (Anchorage, Alaska)

Recently DH phoned and left me a voice-mail and said that he has experienced strange lights in his room in the last few days. (See drawing supplied by DH to the left.) Apparently the lights were yellow in color and “streaked.” Clear spaces were between the streaks. Recently I have equipped DH with a camera and we are hopeful of getting some photos if these encounters continue.

Investigative Notes: All of these experiences of DH are intriguing and not explainable.  Outside of DH’s word we have no other evidence to look at (other than the dented door trim on his Dec. 27, 2003 experience.)  I know some of DH’s friends and his mother.  They all say that he is of sound mind and has never had any mental problems.  In my discussions with DH he has assured me that he rarely drinks, does not use drugs, and has no history of mental illness or hallucinations.  I do believe DH’s story and I believe that he is of sound mind.  However, to prove this conclusively he should have a consultation with a mental health professional preferably a therapist who has treated people who have had paranormal experiences.  The decision to seek a mental health professional strictly rests with DH.

Bottom Line:  We continue to investigate this intriguing case.  We will update this page as more details become available.

Date of Sighting: October, 1990 (Exact Date Unknown)
Time of Sighting: Around 8 PM EDT
Date Sighting Reported: August 30, 2007
Duration of Sighting: Unknown
Location of Sighting: Almont, Michigan
Latitude: 42.89 Degrees North
Longitude: 83.03 Degrees West
Number of Witnesses: Two
Number of Witnesses Interviewed: One
Weather: Clear Skies. Stars Visible. (Per Witness Observation.)

Description (In Witness’s Own Words): It was the fall of 1990. I was in my home in Almont, MI. That time of year it gets dark quite early. It must of been around 8:00 PM: “The times are now just an approximation.” My son, who at the time was around 12 came running in the house saying there was a UFO right outside our house. Let me add at this point I was not one who believed in UFOs. I went outside and my son pointed south and upwards and said look! The funny thing was at first I didn’t see anything, but I did notice it was unusually dark. Then I noticed a very dim light. I suddenly realized that the reason it was so dark was that there was a huge craft right over our driveway. It was at tree level and was moving north and a very slow pace, “approximately a slow walking speed.” There was a very distinct humming, exactly like a large transformer hums. There was a very dull light in the middle and as it traveled down or driveway I made out a row of windows around the craft. The windows looked very large. I remember walking down the driveway with my son. Then the next thing I remember is standing out in the field north of my house still looking at the UFO, when suddenly it went from approximately 90 or 100 ft straight up in the sky to where it was a pinpoint of light. It just looked like another star. This happened in under a second. We continued to watch it for quite awhile when it took off in a northwesterly direction like a meteor and was gone in a second. There are a lot of things I can describe if you are interested, but this is the basic part. I don’t feel like I was abducted, but I honestly do not remember how I got from my driveway and then in the field. I have asked my son about it and he remembers things the way I do, but what I find unusual is that:
1. I didn’t really focus on it that much after the initial day it happened until a few years ago.
2. My son doesn’t seem as interested as I am, even though he is a very intelligent guy. I was a flight simulator instructor in the air force and I have a lot of knowledge regarding aircraft. This will always go down as the most bizarre day in my life. By the way, it seemed like I was being watched by someone in the window, but it was like you could only make out a shadow. I am now fascinated by UFOs and I know that their out there. Please, if you have any more questions feel free to ask. Almont is about 20 SE of Brown City. I have never seen another unusual craft. This was definitely a UFO. There is no other explanation for it. I am the type of guy that checks his facts. There is nothing on our planet that I am aware of that could do what I saw! The pilots would be dead just from the G forces.

Investigator’s Notes: This sighting happened several years ago, but the witness still vividly recalls details and was able to construct an explicit drawing of the object that he sighted. (It is not known when the drawing was constructed.) The witness has a good background and should be qualified to ascertain whether or not an aircraft is of conventional type. This sighting falls into the unidentified category.
