| On Tuesday, January 18, 2005, Gary Kubalski was at his home near Rocky River Drive in Cleveland, Ohio (population 478,403) when he spotted something strange. "I woke up at approximately 10 a.m. on the morning of January 18," Gary reported, "It's unusual for me to wake up this late. I looked out my second-floor bedroom window to an awfully bright January day of clear blue skies." "I immediately noticed two grey luminescent disks the size of nail heads traveling in formation at a high altitude, separated a football field apart, moving in an east to west direction. I knew I was witnessing something unique, because traveling in the same direction were several planes in the morning sky, one east, another southeast, and the area where I live is close to the air traffic routes to and from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. As the disks had no visible wing shape and traveled in a swift, steady and straight motion as if on an imaginary string in mid-air, perfectly stable while going from east to west." "They eventually disappeared gradually into the horizon, blending into the clouded sky to the west." "I continued watching and, after a minute or two, a single silver disk appeared, traveling the same flight path by itself. I was still wondering about what I was seeing and questioning its validity when this craft made a striking stop in mid-air, hovering still for about five seconds, then made what I could only describe as an 'Etch- A-Sketch' (zigzag) course change by making a 90 degree change to the south for a few hundred feet, followed by a lightning-fast 90 degree course change with no gradual deviation, no radius, no curving or banking of its bodily structure." The third disc "then traveled even for some time, then reversed course back to its original heading, again disappearing into the haze of horizon. The whole event with the three disks took about 10 minutes." (Email Form Report) |

| On Tuesday, March 8, 2005, at 6:55 a.m., eyewitness Jim Blackburn reported, "This morning I stepped out into an almost-dawn about five minutes before 7 o'clock all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed after a good night's sleep, facing a cloudless sky and bright early sunlight" in his hometown of Las Cruces, New Mexico (population 74,267). "I was wearing my prescription sunglasses, which give me 20\40 distance vision. I was facing a bit north of west, probably west-northwest, when my eye was distracted by movement in the sky." "What I saw was a solid object, dark brown, but with a darker ridge on the exterior but definitely not with a smooth surface such as a balloon, moving from right to left, i.e. approximately north to south at a low altitude. It moved smoothly, and I could not associate any sound with its movement--no jet engine sound, no whirring propellors or even flapping wings. It did not seem to be rotating. There were two or three brief flashes of light which I supposed to be (the reflection of) bright sun off glass or some polished surface. I watched as it moved away fairly rapidly--out of my (unaided) sight in less than 60 seconds, I surmise." "Having nothing in the sky by which to judge the object's size, and not being a professional observer or estimator of distance, my guesses as to the object's size and elevation can only be that. For size, I would guess 8 to 15 feet (2.4 to 4.5 meters) in diameter. For distance, I would guess 1,000 feet (300 meters) for horizontal distance and 1,000 feet (300 meters) in elevation." "I proceeded on my morning 'constitutional' walk as usual, with nothing untoward to see and hear. The sun at ground level was very bright. I'm tempted to say 'imperceptible.' I can't believe the object was around and I'm the only one who saw it and is replying. The UFO may have been observed by others, but so far I have not received any reports of a sighting like this."

| On June 6, 2005, at 6:22 a.m., Markius Latourneau was at the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station on Shattuck Avenue in Berkeley, California (population 102,743) when he spotted a silvery saucer passing overhead. "I caught a glimpse of an aerial phenomenon at 6:22 a.m.," Markius reported, "In my line of sight, it moved from north to south without making a sound. It appeared to be climbing at one point. The whole incident lasted less than 20 seconds. I was standing on Shattuck Avenue outside the Bay Area Rapid Transit station, heading to work. I was not able to identify the object I saw, and it behaved in a way that was not indicative of any earthly aircraft. I couldn't say for sure if anyone else saw the object I saw, but what I witnessed was remarkable." "The object was silver in color and looked oval and slightly elongated. The object appeared to be two miles (3,200 meters) above ground and was traveling at about 300 miles per hour (500 kilometers per hour--J.T.) As it moved and climbed, it became stationary for maybe 18 seconds, then faded and dissipated." (Email Form Report) |
