UFO sighting – Museum of the Weird

What is that in the sky?

This goes quickly, but watch this…

What you are watching is known as “Case 68838 – Oak Park, IL” by the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). MUFON tracks and investigates sitings of UFOs and they have some pretty interesting cases in their logs.

This is the report submitted with the video:

I was shooting video of a storm cloud emitting heat lightning from our back porch. When I viewed the video I saw a streak of light that I cannot explain or rationalize. I slowed the speed and showed it to friends. It was recommended that I forward his to your organization. I am including the original video from my phone. (which is upside down) The orb appears 11 seconds in. I also included video that I inverted and cropped.

Anyone can submit a report of a UFO siting using their online tool. They receive thousands of reports which are handled by local volunteers.

One explanation offered is that this is the elusive “ball lightning” phenomenon, where electricity forms as a mass rather than a streak we we normally see it.

Does that look right to you or is it merely a convenient explanation? There was no evidence of a crash or any damage to the ground from a lightning strike. The matter is being investigated.

Do you have any interesting UFO pictures or video? Share them with us! In the mean time, keep watching the skies.

UFO CRASHES INTO LAKE TITICACA

On May 18, 2013 several eyewitnesses reported a UFO crashing into Lake Titicaca in Peru. The event was even captured by the local news station 90 as the strange object entered the atmosphere and slowly descended in a fiery blaze. The first thought was that this was a meteor, but as pointed out by Scott Waring on UFO Sightings Daily, meteors have only one tail that is then broken up into sections. This particular object has two tails. Another interesting aspect of this story is the fact that, one year ago to the very day, a similar UFO was photographed falling over Amantani island on Lake Titicaca. This account was documented by Christian Mace on the site UFO Digest.

Could there be a link between the date of May 18th and UFO? After watching the video below, what do you think?

GREEK UFO CLOUD

One of the many speculations put forth by ufologists is the idea that UFOs can create their own “clouds” in order to sneak into an unsuspecting city or town undetected. An impressive example of one such “UFO cloud” was spotted hovering over the scenic city of Livadeia, Greece. UFO Sightings Daily posted images and a YouTube video of this cloud documented by a resident of Livadeia and they are quite unique and impressive. But are they truly evidence of an alien visitation? Our own atmosphere has the capability to produce some of the most haunting and extraordinary meteorological phenomenon, but that does not mean that they are otherworldly. Check out the images and video below and let us know what you think in the comments below!

GIANT UFO HEADING TOWARD OUR SUN

Today the NASA/SOHO ipad app reported the sighting of an unusually large, triangular object heading for our sun. The images posted by UFO Sightings Daily are remarkable to behold and beg the question: Just what exactly is traveling towards the center of our solar system?

Scott C. Warring, the gentleman who posted the news about the UFO stated, “I was looking at the still photos of the sun on the official NASA/SOHO app and noticed a triangle UFO of massive proportions that was far from the sun but heading towards its center at 12:42 (photo below in blue). Then the this same triangle UFO was caught in a SOHO photo at 12:48 that same day, but this time it was even closer to the sun which is in the photo above. Look at the massive amount of space this UFO has crossed in just 6 minutes. No planet, asteroid or meteor could do that!”

Take a look at these images and tell us what you think in the comments below…

AMAZING WASHINGTON UFO SIGHTING

A spectacular piece of photographic UFO evidence was spotted this week on the MUFON Reporting Database by Scott McMan, a contributor for the website Ghost Theory.

According to the report, submitted by an anonymous source, the person was in Swift Forest Camp, located in Swift Lake Reservoir, Skamania County in Washington State on July 25, 2011. At 8:45pm the person was sitting beside the lake watching the sun set. They went to retrieve their camera in order to capture the view. Upon reviewing the photos they noticed a bright white light in the upper center of the frame. Using a graphics program to enlarge and enhance the images’ clarity they discovered that the object was rectangular in form. The person claims that the shape was not visible through the viewfinder or to the naked eye and only noticed it upon reviewing the film. The UFO appears to be moving upwards due to its position and relation to the mountain range. In the three photos below, the object also appears to be moving toward the viewer.

Scott McMan is a diligent debunker of falsified sightings and has stated, “I have mandated myself to do as much media analysis as possible prior to posting on anything from MUFON. That’s not to say I didn’t do my due diligence before, but in past years my access to certain tools was limited. Of course I can’t catch everything, but at least I can eliminate examples, which are suspect.”

McMan took it upon himself to run the submitted photos on MUFON through a variety of error correction programs and has made the final analysis that the images are 100% genuine and have not been altered in any way, shape, or form. The evidence is fascinating to behold.

Do you have a follow-up to this sighting? We would love to hear about it! Leave a comment below.
