On Sunday morning, 14AP96, we took multiple calls from observers in MN, WI, and MI of a gigantic object with 4-7 dusky amber lights on its side and a sizable plume of "pure light" pouring out its aft end. Six MI State Troopers witnessed it in norther MI.
Monday, 15AP96, a huge, blue-green object passed along the length of CA, seen from LA to Santa Clara. It may have been a bolide, since a sonic boom was detected by some approximately 1 minute after the 3-5 second sighting, but it may have altered its trajectory. Hence, we are undecided on that one.
NATIONAL UFO REPORTING CENTER LISTS APRIL SIGHTINGS
Last week the National UFO Reporting Center in Seattle released information on three unusual incidents that took place during April. Here they are: April 12, 1996 - At precisely 11:55 p.m., several airliners circling New York City reported visual and radar contact with "a large UFO." Six airliners in all reported contact. The sightings were confirmed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) control center in New York. April 14, 1996 - Across Michigan's Upper Peninsula, from Sault Sainte
Marie to Ironwood, Michigan, people reported seeing "a gigantic object with four to seven blinking amber lights on the side and a squiggly plume of pure white light coming out of the aft end." The UFO was seen by six Michigan state troopers along Route 28 in Alger County. April 15, 1996 - A large blue-green UFO rocketed from south to north over
California, travelling from Los Angeles to Santa Clara. Eyewitness Susan Thomson of Novato, California said it "was the size of a softball" as it flew over Lucas Valley Road off Highway 101 at approximately 5:12 a.m. The UFO was also seen in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Monterey, Fresno and Tulare. Many witnesses reported a loud sonic boom. Scientists said the object was a "bolide" or an exploding meteor.
GIANT UFO REPORTED OVER EASTERN ONTARIO
On March 21, 1996, at 8:30 p.m., two boys in Welland, Ontario, 21 miles west of Niagara Falls, N.Y. spotted a gigantic UFO over their neighborhood. Ryan, age 9, and Greg, age 11, were looking at the night sky through a bedroom window when they saw the UFO drifting slowly through the Big Dipper constellation. They estimated that the UFO was 200 feet above ground. The boys reported, "The UFO was triangular, with lights at each point of the craft. We heard a low-frequency humming coming from it. The UFO flew from east to west in a straight line." In addition, Ryan and Greg told the newspaper in St. Catharine's, Ontario that they saw a conventional airplane "following the UFO at a distance, right on the same course."
"SIGHTINGS" TO COVER 1994 NORTHWEST UFO FLAP
The May 19th edition of the Fox TV show "Sightings" will run a segment on the UFO flap in Idaho and Washington in February 1994. According to the newspaper Idaho Statesman, on February 10, 1994, an
explosion flared briefly over Fairfield, Idaho, knocking out the town's street lights. Mark Johnson, formerly a Camas County deputy sheriff, told the Statesman, "It was bright enough to trip the photo sensors on the street lights. They went off. The explosion rattled the entire building."
The previous night, February 9, 1994, a UFO was seen in Redmond, Woodinville, Bellevue and Granite Falls, Washington and also over Whidbey Island in Puget Sound. The UFO was described as "a long, slender, black, tubular-shaped object with at least four lights on the side. It streaked in all directions, dipped its nose down and disappeared behind the horizon of the Olympic Mountains" on the other side of the sound, somewhere west of Port Angeles.
