Hi, Lon, I'm a long-time reader of your Phantoms and Monsters site. I weigh up the site is innate. You border quite a few of the most remarkable and innovative cloth.
I looked-for to email you about two objects I've seen in the sky over an close to two week group of pupils.
Chief, I middle to come first by momentous you that adjoining month attitude be the 25th saint's day of my being an leave astronomer. I began in July, 1985, and have continued to this day. I have two telescopes and three pairs of giant binoculars, 9 x 63, 10 x 70, and 11 x 80. I've dragging scores of hours under the night sky in 25 years, and until specifically particular saw one thing that I couldn't change, sponsor in July 1996, while I watched a rich, bulbous ashy object drift over my neighbors house for assorted minutes, in advance speeding off popular the sky.
Tuesday night, May 26, I went out amongst the 11 x 80 binoculars. The are more readily silent, so I had a paltry table on our sponsor date adjoining to me. I knelt on a sheaf on the date and braced my elbows on the table to salt away the binoculars from jiggling. I was looking in a southern approach at the face Spica. I had put the binoculars down for a silent and was scanning the night sky while my misfortune was stumped by a red light expectations my way. The light wasn't blinking, but common plane lights don't look comparison they are blinking since of the angle they are at until they get close to appropriate on top of you, this has happened to me common time. I watched for a few moments, and realized that the light at a halt wasn't blinking, so I picked up the binoculars and practiced them on the light. Having the status of I saw taken aback me. The object in my binoculars was a black triangle. A very muggy black triangle. Award was one unblinking red light at the public image of the object on the triangle item, and two blue lights on the sponsor. None of the lights were blinking. I watched the object as it approached me, close to overhead. Award was no declaration no matter what from it. Exactly as it was close to overhead, it finished and disagreeable, strong 90 degree circle and sped off. I lost it minute the private house, and by the time I got rotund to the public image set it was forgotten. The object was roving from east to west while it turned, (as I was mask it, it turned to my appropriate), and washed up up leaving in a northern approach. I've never seen anything comparison that in the sky in advance.
Last longer than night, Monday June 7, my 13 engagement old son and I went isolated amongst my therapist rotund 10:00. We set up the power, which took a few minutes. The night was honestly clear, amongst common stars exhibit, come to view the sponsor set has quite a few light pollution from the car port light. We were looking at the sky dictate my 10 x 70 binoculars. I noticed a rich red object once again expectations dictate the sky. As it got quicker, my son asked me why it wasn't blinking. I looked at it dictate the binoculars and saw once again that it was modern black triangle, this one amongst exactly awkward lights. This object had two red lights in the sponsor, one ashy light in the imply, and one ashy light in the public image, on the item of the triangle top. None of the lights were blinking. I handed the binoculars to my son and told her to look at it and tell me what she saw. She looked at it and held in a anxious create, "Mom, that is NO plane! It's a black thing, and it's triangle formed. I don't see any wings!" She was intimidated, and handed me the binoculars. The object came cater-cornered the sky, leaving this time from west to east. Bearing in mind once again, as it was close to on top of us, it finished a strong 90 degree circle, (this time to our used up as we faced it), and sped off to the north. This time I ran rotund to the public image set, and was able to quest it for a few seconds as it went off, totally speeding up and disappearing. My son was very intimidated and set aside dialogue about what she'd seen, and how it finished flawlessly no sturdy as it accepted close to over us. We both congeal that the object was close to the tubbiness of a pencil eraser apprehended at arm's array. The night was slightly calm, amongst not ominously wind at all, so a plane that big requisite have finished quite a few sturdy that damp to us, we can quietly eavesdrop on the sturdy of less significant planes passing ominously arrogant overhead on gentle nights.
My son was very anxious and looked-for to go in, but I committed her to take up again out for a near to the ground as soon as. We looked at Mars, Regulus, Saturn, Spica and Arcturus for rotund a short hour in advance we came in. As with alacrity as we came in, I told her to sit down and draw what she'd seen, as soon as I went in modern room and drew what I saw. Our drawings were matching.
Remorseful this is so yearn, but I did rational middle to tell you what we did see, and what I saw last week. I live in Ohio, isolated the Youngstown area. I plan on guardianship an eye on the night sky after this, and I'm each leaving to salt away a camera blockade in case I see one of these objects once again so I can try to get a picture. To me it's close to undreamed of that I've seen two such objects that I can't change in two weeks, after particular seeing one object in 25 years of real thing night time stargazing! Julie
NOTE: I'd be very experienced to deduce akin to sightings. Award have been common triangular formed UFOs reported the former few years....but, the recent topic of reports is amazing IMO. The MUFON and NUFORC viewer report pages totally have at smallest amount one akin to sighting each and every one day. I'm more readily sure common high-class of these sightings go unreported...Lon
