Background

The following case was first submitted through the UFO Reporting hotline for The Black Vault / TBV Investigations. It was assigned to Jim Kerr for investigation and analysis.

Witness Testimony

By Jim Kerr, TBV Investigations

The witness stated in essence; this incident took place in April 2015 between 7:00 and 8:00 pm, but he can not remember the date in April. The witness and a friend were sitting inside a parked car engaged in conversation at the corner of Metzler Road and Lamoille Highway in the city of Elko NV. The sky was clear, with no rain or wind, and the temperature was cool.

While seated inside the car, he observed an orange light approx 85-90 degrees overhead slightly moving in different short directions but remained in the same location in the sky. Using his Windows 10 cell phone camera he began videoing the sighting. After several seconds the orange light turned white then opened up like a cube-shaped portal slightly larger than his fist held at arm’s length. The light inside the portal changed to orange and blue and was swirling around like food coloring mixed with water going down a sink drain, but the two colors did not mix. Suddenly the object began to take on the shape of an orange cube. It transformed into this cube similar to someone printing a cube with a 3D printer. The size was slightly larger than his closed fist held at arm’s length. Within this cube, at least two side profiles of human-like faces appeared. The faces appeared to morph changing slightly in shape and size. After approx one minute the portal closed vanishing into the night sky. The witness stated he was convinced he and his friend had witnessed a paranormal event of unknown origin.

Telephone Interview

On 02/27/2017 at 9:17 am. I conducted a recorded telephone interview with the witness.

The Evidence

On 02/20/2019, the witnessed emailed me two links to his YouTube channel of the video he filmed of the portal. Both videos are of the same object. The first video is the unedited footage. The second video the witness enlarged to see the object more clearly. Note; to protect the witness anonymity, I am not posting direct links to his YouTube channel in this investigation.

The Analysis

By Jim Kerr, TBV Investigations

Weather and Astronomical Data

Due to the fact, the witness could not remember the exact date of this event; I am unable to research and report weather and astronomical data for this sighting.

Summary and Analysis of Witness’ Statement and Video Evidence

The witness couldn’t remember the day, but in April 2015, between 7-8:00 pm, he and a friend observed a portal open in the night sky that, in the witness’ words, painted or 3D printed swirling colors within a cube-shaped portal. Moments later, profile images of human-like faces then appeared. The entire sighting and video of the event lasted less than one minute. The witness believed he had witnessed a paranormal event of a portal opening in the night sky.

I spoke to the witness twice along with a recorded telephone interview and exchanged several emails. The witness’ story never varied in detail, and he seemed sincere in relating his sighting. When I first viewed both his original video and edited video, the video was dark due to being videoed at night. In the edited, cropped, and enlarged video, I could see what he described as the profile of human-like faces but suspected the objects might fall into the category of pareidolia.

Conclusion

The witness’ own video footage revealed that his sighting and claims are without any doubt a hoax. During the hours of darkness, he videoed a house with two windows, with a tree in front of the right portion of the house, and a vehicle parked in front of the house. Most likely, after viewing his video, he decided to hoax a paranormal event in the sky telling tall tails of portals, swirling colors, cubes, and the faces of human-like entities.

My conclusion: Solved; Hoax. Filming a house at night claiming it was a paranormal portal in the sky.

“Was a very big object had no sound, had five points of light on each corner of the craft.

This video was captured within two miles of my home in Las Vegas, Nevada on the night of March 19, 2016.

What an awesome sight this was to see.

I saw a light in the sky just above the closest mountain to my home which is less than two miles away and began to film it because I could tell it was a UFO immediately. This is also the same mountain that shows up in many of my videos of UFOs just above a rooftop of a building near my home. This time, I saw where the UFO came from and caught it in the air just before it began to descend and eventually land.

As it was descending the lights went out but the moonlight was strong enough to where I could still see it in the camera lens.

It lurked in the darkness at the base of the mountain and eventually showed itself again briefly. Several minutes later it showed up again just above the rooftop of a building you see in many of my videos.

As it was leaving I noticed that it was, in fact, two objects now. I saw it for a second or two more back in the same spot it landed and then it disappeared.

Amazing!

Listen to Recording of Interview With Witness:

Description: Witness reported seeing a large boomerang shaped object. He was only 11 years old at the time of the sighting. He said that the object had both green and white lights. He said that the object moved very slow, shot straight up and disappeared.

He was walking from his friend’s house to his home at the time of sighting. He was going home for dinner and left his friend’s house at 6 pm. He arrived home at 8 pm. His mother was worried and wondered why he arrived home two hours late for dinner.

He stated that his house was visible from his friend’s house.

He noticed a scar that had a “polka dot” appearance and ran from his calf to his knee. He first noticed the scar two weeks after the sighting. He said that he still has remnants of the scar.

Investigator’s Notes: This is another case that solely rests upon the credibility of the witness.

I have had reports of missing time cases that have occurred in association with UFO sightings, but this is the first case that I have received where missing time occurred in associated with boomerang shaped craft sighting.
