Telepathy has a running
history in the study of UFOs when witnesses testify they communicate with
non-human entities without speaking. Eleven of the 241 cases logged into the
recently-released book, UFO Cases of Interest, from the Mutual UFO Network
(MUFON), include testimony the witness communicated or somehow interacted with
the object.
Some describe telepathy,
others intuition, the ability to summon a craft, or where the object reacts to
the witness in some way.
Testimony varies and
includes reports like this first case in January 2017 when the witness suggests
the object was “summoned.”
A Mississippi witness at
Canton reported watching and videotaping a group of “glowing, hovering orbs,”
according to testimony in Case 81498.
The witness was standing
outside talking to a neighbor at 1:21 p.m. on January 9, 2017.
“I saw this orb start
flying around,” the witness stated. “It disappeared. Then when it reappeared,
it came back with 15 more. It swirled above us for a few seconds and then
disappeared.”
The witness says this is
the second time she has seen UFOs and that she had summoned them.
“I know how to do it. The
first time I did it, I saw the orbs, but then they morphed into a bird-like
creature with white bodies and black tipped wings but continued to glow. They
swirled above me and my neighbor, flew into a formation and then disappeared.”
Mississippi MUFON Field
Investigator Richard Hoffman investigated this case and closed it as an
Unknown-Other.
And in this January
case, the witness was talking about a previous UFO case when the object
appeared.
A Maine witness at
Orrington reported watching two, silent, low flying, triangle-shaped objects,
according to testimony in Case 82502.
The event occurred on
Friday, January 13, 2017, beginning at 11:19 p.m.
“We left the Brewer
Walmart around 10:50 right before they closed at 11 and we headed back towards
Orrington. We were heading up the Brewer Lake Road and went around an 'S' turn
and we had noticed these red lights down the road above the dam on the lake.”
The group was not far
from the Bangor International Airport.
“So, it didn't seem like
there was anything unusual about something like that; it looked like it was
just beyond the dam and it was flying parallel to the road. It looked like it
could have been a plane coming in. But there was something unusual about it, so
when we saw it, I started talking about, I swear, how I saw a UFO the previous
January.”
The group continued to
drive down the road closer to the object.
“I'm still talking about
the UFO. It was like it heard me talking about UFOs because this triangular
silhouette went from being far off the road and fairly high in the air (500 -
700 feet) to swooping in very close probably 400 feet off the road and 200 feet
high.”
Maine MUFON State
Director Valerie Schultz investigated this case and closed it as an Unknown.
Then there are the cases
where the witness sees an object, and “commands” it do something.
A California witness at
Santa Rosa reported watching a bright ball of light that ejected two objects,
according to testimony in Case 82613.
The witness and friends
went to a local high school for skateboarding on March 9, 2017.
“As we were skating
around on a blacktop, a very bright light caught my attention,” the witness
stated. “At first I just thought that it was Venus being magnified by the
atmosphere as it was so low on the horizon and it was not obviously moving.
After a minute of me continuing to skate, I looked at it again and I realized
it was not in the same place that it was. Then it became obvious that it was
moving.”
The witness described the
object.
“It had no blinking
lights and was much, much brighter than a plane or helicopter, with no sound
whatsoever. I brought my two other friend’s attention to the object. It slowly
moved across the sky and then at the point in which it seemed to be centered in
our view, it slowed significantly.”
The witness felt as
though he was communicating with the object.
“This happened within
seconds of me asking, in my mind, for the object to do something to make it
even more obvious that it was of otherworldly origin. This made be under the
impression that this object was aware of me and my friends observing it. We
continued to watch it as it continued its average speed again and then its path
seemed to change from a perpendicular one to a diagonal path away from us. As
the object was moving away, and we’re still watching, one of my friends was
describing another UFO sighting that he had. He said something along the lines
of, I was watching it and it dropped... and literally, immediately after he
said that word, dropped, that object that we were currently watching dropped a
twinkling light straight down from it that seemed to fall very quickly and
disappeared before getting three-quarter the way to the ground.”
California MUFON Field
Investigator Hady Felfly closed this case as an Unknown UAV.
In the following case,
the witness believes the object is reacting to being watched.
A California witness at
Rancho Cordova reported watching a disc-shaped object hovering 20 feet above
the ground while others in the area seemed not to notice, according to
testimony in Case 83576.
The witness and his
fiancé were leaving a restaurant on Folsom Boulevard at Hazel Avenue at 8:30
p.m. on May 4, 2017, when the incident began.
“I spotted the object at
about 45-degrees from the horizon in the south,” the witness stated. “The
weather was overcast and cloudy with winds from the west at 10-15 mph. When I
first saw it, I thought it was a helicopter because of the green flashing
lights that at first looked like navigational lights.”
The witness described the
object.
“The object had a dark,
matte grey or black finish and was silhouetted well against the clouds. It
descended to a level where it was obscured by the parking lot tree and then
descended to full view across the street. The completely silent object was
approximately 60-foot in diameter, saucer-shaped with three white lights on the
west facing side and a red glow underneath.”
The object stopped
descending and hovered about 20 feet from the ground about 180 feet away from
the witness.
“The object showed no
visible signs of propulsion nor did it disturb the vegetation in anyway. At
this point my fiancé wanted me to take a picture, so I sent her for my phone in
the car. It seems as if the UFO knew she was coming back with a phone because it
started moving off as soon as it was in her hand.”
California MUFON
Assistant State Director Devlin Rugne investigated this case and closed it as
an Unknown UAV.
Here is a case where the
witness tried to communicate with the object.
A Canadian witness at
Metaghan reported watching a series of cigar or “dumbbell-shaped objects
showing no emissions, according to testimony in Case 83637.
The witness was driving
towards Yarmouth from Church Point at 8:20 p.m. on May 10, 2017, when she
spotted a dumbbell or cigar-shaped object hovering in the southern sky.
The witness noted a
difference between these objects and jets.
“The object was
significantly larger than a standard jetliner I would normally see in Nova
Scotia skies. Nova Scotia is one of the busiest flight paths from international
flights reaching US/Canada destinations. The outline of the object was fuzzy
and the object(s) themselves were glaringly bright. The shape of the object was
cigar-shaped, but with indents in from each respective edge similar to a
dumbbell. I felt excited when I saw the objects (enough to call my husband and
tell him what I saw!). I said out loud, ‘Hey! I see you! I wonder where you're
from?’ I lost sight of the object(s) when I took my eye off of it (them) as I
continued my drive to town.”
Canadian MUFON Field
Investigator Paul Bedard investigated this case and closed it as an Unknown
Other.
In the following case,
the witness believes the object stopped to pose for a photo.
A Florida witness at
Cooper City reported capturing a disc-shaped object while taking a photo of the
moon, according to testimony in Case 84752.
The witness was in her
backyard taking photos of the moon at 10:02 p.m. on July 1, 2017. The woman’s
child filed the report for her.
“It sat nicely just
beyond the palm trees in her backyard,” the reporting witness stated. “As she
focused and snapped the first photo of the moon, she noticed a light zoom into
view for a second or less as if the object got into place to be viewed in the
photo. This happened so quick that the object appeared for that photo and then
disappeared. She did not see any other movements except for the time it zoomed
into place. It happened so fast that it was an accident on her part.”
The witness examined the
photo.
“After zooming on the
photo, I noticed a very bright, white light lining the entire outside edge of
what seems to be a disc-shaped object. Also, above the lights you can see a
dark, sloping outline and below the lights there seems to be some kind of
object protruding out with more lights on it. The object could be upside down.
The object seemed to be above the clouds when viewing the photo so it is
difficult to guess on the size.”
Florida MUFON Pete Tirado
closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.
This next case involves a
witness who believes the object reacted to it being photographed.
An Ohio witness at Girard
reported watching and videotaping a “huge, glowing, disc-shaped craft” hovering
over a golf course, according to testimony in Case 85012.
The witness and his
family were returning home from shopping at 9:32 p.m. on July 7, 2017.
“This was the second
sighting two nights in a row for me,” the witness stated. “Because of the
sighting I had the night before, I was being extremely observant of the skies.
It was almost dark, but the sun was setting, and the sky was clear with no
cloud cover. We turned the corner off Liberty Street that runs parallel with
the golf course. As soon as you turn onto this road you have a clear view of
the golf course and the skies above it and as soon as I looked up there was a
huge glowing, disk-shaped craft just hovering above the golf course.”
The craft was just a
short distance from the witness.
“By my estimation it was
hovering just above the club house at the time we turned the corner. As we made
our way down the street to our house, the craft seem to move closer towards the
houses that lined the third hole of the course.”
The witness stopped his
vehicle when they reached the school on their right with the craft on their
left.
“I immediately froze at
first, having been shaken already from the event the night before. I couldn't
believe it was happening again. The size of the craft was huge. Probably about
300 feet long. It was pulsating lights of yellow and red around it and it
seemed to make no sound.”
The witness parked his
car to inspect the “massive disk-shaped” craft.
“We stood there for about
10 minutes. I took my phone out to get a video because the night before my
phone wouldn't work around the objects and I wanted to try again. This time I
was able to get about 18 seconds on video before the craft started to move
towards us even more and when it moves overhead of the homes on the course my
phone shut down again.”
The object frightened his
family.
“This thing scared my
daughter and my girlfriend. You can hear them on the video getting scared when
it seemed liked the craft was reacting to me filming it. After my phone shut
down we got in the car and I took my family home to be safe.”
Ohio MUFON Field Investigator
Joseph Pavlansky closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.
In this Missouri case,
the witness believes the object reacted to the family leaving the sighting
scene.
A Missouri witness at
Christian County reported watching a “glowing structure that appeared above a
house after a flash of three lights, according to testimony in Case 85508.
The events occurred
beginning at 9:45 p.m. on July 29, 2017.
“We live out in the
country in the Ozark-Rogersville area,” the witness stated. “During the day, a
friend and I lit a fire. My friend noticed a plane-like structure off in the
distance emitting red lights. The sky was clear with hardly a cloud, but I
couldn't see what she was seeing, even after moving behind her into her field
of vision. We laugh about it and moved along. This was approximately 5-6 p.m.
Central Time.”
About 9 p.m., the two
decided to leave.
“After locking the house
and loading the dog into the car, my friend and I sat down in the front seats
of the car, ready to start the ignition. I then see a flash of three, bright,
white lights in my peripheral vision. They were stacked like a triangle, with
two lights on the bottom and one on top. I immediately got out of the car to
get closer to the object that appeared after the flash of lights. My friend, on
the other hand, told me she was so scared for her life that she didn't move
from her passenger seat in the vehicle.”
The witness described the
object they were seeing.
“The object that appeared
above the house was about 500 feet from us, and about 50-60 feet up in the air.
It was unlike anything I've ever seen. It appeared hollow, but not like any
hollow 3D structure in that I couldn't detect a definite inside edge. There
were bright, white lights on the structure that appeared to glow from the
inside out. Initially, I believed it to be helicopter-sized. I started yelling
to my friend, ‘What is that?’ That is when this object stopped hovering above
the house and changed directions, coming right toward us in our car. It
appeared to be getting smaller the closer it got to us, but never smaller than
about 15x15 feet. About 50 feet before our car, this object descends down
towards us in a U-shape, then corrects itself and gains elevation. At its
lowest point in the descent, I thought it might hit our car and I was afraid
for my life – it was no more than 30 feet directly above the top of our car. It
then regained its initial elevation of maybe 50 feet and disappeared into the
tree line at the edge of the property. We immediately turned on the car, pulled
out onto the main road and attempted to see it again, but it had disappeared.
The most interesting part of this was not only the almost indescribable shape,
but that it seemed to know we were leaving the property. It's very obvious (and
terrifying) lurch towards our car was either on purpose (maybe to scare us?) or
the result of whatever was operating it losing control of the structure. Either
way, this appeared and disappeared out of nowhere with a clear intent that we
should see it. Additionally, this object was completely silent and appeared
incredibly aerodynamic. It wasn't inherently malevolent, but also didn't appear
to be particularly friendly or welcoming. I honestly love reading about UFOs,
but now that I have actually seen one, I wish I hadn't. This was a very scary
experience.”
Missouri MUFON State
Section Director Emmett Reary closed this case as an Unknown – Other.
In November, a Colorado
witness felt an intuition to open his vehicle’s moon roof and look up.
A Colorado witness at
Aurora reported watching a hovering, triangular-shaped object, according to
testimony in Case 88459.
The witness was driving
home at 8:55 p.m. on November 30, 2017.
“I had an intuitive sense
to open the moonroof in my Acura RDX – specifically to observe the moon – which
my son has been tracking for his class studies,” the witness stated. “When I
did, I both saw the moon, as well as a low-flying, triangular-shaped object
that appeared stationary. I slowed my vehicle and pulled to the side of the
road to observe it. I was almost home, and our subdivision is close to both
Buckley Air Force Base as well as wide open space east of the Denver-Aurora
metro area. At first glance, I believed the object to be one of the many
aircraft often sighted over the Air Force base; however, most of those craft
fly during daylight hours, and in 13 years in living at this location, I have
never observed a craft looking like this one.”
Colorado MUFON Field Investigators
Richard Evans and Deborah Evans closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.
This Kansas witness
states they received “story flashes” from the object.
A Kansas witness near
Manhattan reported watching “twin, star-like balls of light in the sky,”
according to testimony in Case 88840.
The witness was driving
home at 10 p.m. on December 9, 2017.
“I noticed that the left
side of my window was full of stars and the right side was a completely clear
sky,” the witness stated. “I looked up to my right and saw two, star-like balls
of light that were pulsing and hovering in a general vicinity up in the sky. I
saw the balls of light had color, but I couldn’t tell what color, due to the
distance. The colors were blurred together. A few seconds later the ball of
light on the right takes off in a rainbow-curved shape followed by a
red-over-blue streak of light. There is a flash of light and the ball was gone
leaving only one floating ball of light in the sky. At that point I thought it
was a bomb and was waiting for an explosion. When none came I looked harder at
the ball of light. It just continued to hover and pulse in the same spot.
Eventually it faded with my drive, but each time I went to look for it I always
ended up finding it sitting there watching me. During this whole experience I
was getting flashes of someone telling me a story and explaining to me how we
will soon become a part of that group. I have an idea for a book based on the
story I was told during my experience.”
Kansas MUFON Field
Investigator Michael McCord closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.
And finally, an Oregon
witness believes the object knew they were watching and turned on bright red
lights.
An Oregon witness at
Ontario reported watching a hovering triangle, according to testimony in Case
89165.
The witness was driving
to Vale at 9:15 p.m. on December 23, 2017.
“We just passed Ontario
Municipal Airport,” the witness stated. “We both at same time looked up above
our car, maybe 100 feet up max, as a triangle-shaped craft turned bright red
and as if it knew we were looking. It appeared like it was hovering for a split
second and then rocketed so fast away from us, like Mach 5 or 6 – it streaked
out of sight. This is within a mile or two of Malheur Butte Volcano. We both
think this may be somehow related. We both at the same time said, ‘OMG, did you
see that?’”
Oregon MUFON State
Director Thomas Bowden closed this case as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.
