George Knapp of the Eyewitness News I-Team has a story about a new UFO mystery. A large object with a turquoise hue plummeted out of the sky earlier this summer and plowed into the earth south of Las Vegas near Needles, California. You can read all about it but we’d love to know — do you believe in UFOs? Have you ever seen one? Heard any stories from friends you totally believe? We want to hear about them.
Having seen a UFO along with three other people I would have to say the possibility of it being one is very good but at the same time being so close to a known Government test area its possible that it could have been something we are developing but either way you look at it to describe it as anything but a UFO you would have to be one of the guys who picked it up from the desert so for now it remains an Unidentified flying object.

I was having dinner in a second sory apartment looking west through an open window. The object looked to me from my persective, to be the size of a dime and it also had the turquoise hue. Its trajectory would have put it into the ocean off the Santa Monica beach. The time of day and the year was when The Rookies TV program debuted in Los Angeles because the TV was on and that show was playing. The next day there was a big story in the Los Angeles newspapers about traffic officers chasing an UFO down Santa Monica Blvd. They tried to take photos during the chase but with the flash on, they only got the reflection from the wind shield. I was employed by TRW in Redondo Beach and we had someone who had set up an UFO reporting phone number which I tried calling the next day. Every time (about ten or twelve) I got a wrong number and every time it was a different wrong number. Reading about the incident near Needles July 28, 2008, triggered the similar memories of the color of what I saw and the phone problems.

If what impacted the ground was some incredibly advanced military and/or space flight test gone wrong (or right for that matter) or if it was somehow something from somewhere else, I certainly hope that Mr. Knapp and everyone associated with this story at KLAS continues to search for the answers in this UFO case. Our military responded amazingly fast to something very out of the ordinary that happened. Or they were waiting for an impact. Either way there is a definite story here. And of course, where is Bob? Let’s make sure of his whereabouts before we let this thing die down. If he saw something as clearly as described, he obviously is very important to anyone involved with the whole thing. Certainly it is curious that the Government would show such an ominous presence if what occured was something they could just explain away. Maybe that is what happens when they haven’t been given time to prepare a statement about a weather balloon flying in the area or some other canned response.– keep up the good work. Too many other news agencies are apparently unwilling to look for the truth…

I stood in a green beam at midnight on august 10, 1972, I was able to see in side the porthole in the bottom. When I entered my house it was 3:35 am. I have never got my memory back of this missing time. I know what I seen was not of this world. My friend of 40 years lives in Vegas and sent me this story above. IIm well aquainted with George knapp. Have a video for everytime he appeared on tv specials across the country. It started with Bob Lazar. My son was my only witness after I entered my house I woke him up. But would not let him go outside to see the craft. All he could see was the beam from the window. I was too frighten, when I seen the time. I!m on the mufon message board, and chat with other witnesses and mufon investigators everyday. So I keep up. I heard of this story here, from the board. First time I read an article.
Always searching for the truth.
I!m 65 years old, and have been waitinga long time for an answer. My encounter left me with brain lesions. So I hate them but cant remember them. I have never been regressed,. I want the truth, from my oun memory.
Lois Hall…..Bloomington Illinois.
It took 35 years to tell my story, as mufon does not have death ears like the people I told all these years.

The first ufo sighting occurred in May 1987. Near Koval Lane and Tropicana Ave in Las Vegas, Nevada. While entering my apartment complex, my friend and I saw nine cobalt blue with white halo orbs in ” V ” formation approached from the west at 12:30 AM. The speed being aprox. 10 mph. When noticing the strange group of lights made no noise and were thousands of feet high in the Nevada sky. They performed an aerial maneuver most aircraft don’t dare try at the speed of instant happening.They collided into one large oval exploded in a fabulous firework with no noise. Joined again in the large oval and formed themselves into a diamond formation and continued their journey east over the casino skyline. When in the oval position, these nine objects moved around as if looking at tadpoles in an embryo. The sky was cloudless with a sprinkle of bright stars. Temperature around 90 degrees.

Back in 1975 I had a life canging experience concerning an ufo sighting. At the time I was AF Reserves at the then Norton AF Base Facility in San Bernardino. It was july 15th that stands out,it was 2130 at night. i had just come from my ex- wifes apt. In Loma Linda Ca. when I turned the corner to head so uth. my car suddenly died ,( I had just rec. a tune-up the day before) So you could imagine I was too happy thinking the car was acting up. anyway The lights on my car blinked on & off then the lights on the road & houses then all power was out with the entire inland empire no lights could be seen for miles . I noticed in the night sky a blue green light getting larger in brightness (Tourquoise in color ) . I walked out to the field ( there were no buinesses built at the time or hospital)as it came nearer the wild dried grass in the field which stretched for miles were bending as it approached.As it went over me it was black with holes all over the blue green light coming from within the entire field was bathed in this light and the hairs on my arms were affected by the electricity then I lifed up about 1 ft off the groundI started to lose conciousness but did’nt, I then went back down to the ground slowly.And saw it leave from a hovering position to a shrp right angle it then dipped over the hills and went down. A large flash appeared.After that all the lights came back on and my car started by itself running well. It (UFO) was the size of a large circus tent made no noise and lent its mark on miles of open field in the Loma Linda are also I wound up with a weird triangular wart #3 total ( they were round but in a perfect triangle it stayed on me for one week before disapeering on my upper thigh) I tried to contact the base to ask if anything had been reported they denied all knowledge. The next dat it was liste in the papers as a large meteor. Meteors dont hover or change directions , theres more to this story but I feel uncomfortable in recounting anymore of this story .

My encounter was in 1961, and it was, as they say, “one of their’s” an ETV or extraterrestrial vehicle. I saw the inside of an immense circular ship, several smaller ships, and two different types of ET’s. I recall most of the experience, as it happened three nights in a row. I was never harmed, and yes, there was physical evidence. I lived five miles from a California AFB.
That was it. I told my parents and was warned to “keep it secret” but I told a few close friends, and soon it seemed everyone made fun of me.
In Feb 1979 I had another encounter with what looked like an ETV, but when it made a 360 degree turn, the otherwise unmarked, flat-white painted craft had a USAF ’star & bars’ on the bottom (one only, and off center, which I found odd) but it went from about 80-90 mph (even with my Mustang, alone on a Nevada freeway) to 12,000 mph (clocked on my odometer) in seven seconds. It had no afterburners, and was completely soundless.
My husband knew about my encounters, and he was sensitive to my desire to put it behind me, and until last year, I did. Last year he met a guy at work who had a similar experience, and was suffering. He asked if I’d speak with him, so I did. It was therapeutic for both of us, I think. He told us to watch The Disclosure Project on YouTube or Google Video. It was two hours long, and I didn’t think I had time for it (especially after the intro speaker; an aging actor who tried to sing at a news conference!) but once I heard Dr. Stephen Greer speak, I knew he knew what he was talking about, and as it progressed, I became inflamed because:
1) I’m a journalist myself, yet had NEVER heard a single report on this event which had drawn 22 media cameras from around the world, and hundreds of print journalists.
2) I knew it was true.
3) I knew it was time to stop hiding from the truth I had known since the age of seven.
So far, this is as close as I’ve come to sharing my story.
I have tried to get as many intelligent people as possible to view the Disclosure Project video, and I’ve interviewed Dr. Greer and personally contacted my congressman (we had a 2 1/2 hour interview) and my state’s governor (I got ten minutes with him, which was generous) and was not surprised to discover neither of them had ever been informed as to the reality of ET visitation, nor our military’s part in causing the ET craft to crash in order for ‘our side’ (Truth, Justice, and the American Way, right?) to reverse-engineer and reconstruct the ETV’s.
France, Chile, Brazil, Canada, Belgium and now the UK have all begun to release their documentation of these events. The USA continues to actively withhold, suppress and cover-up what it knows to be true. Far from Disclosure, they are hiding evidence faster and deeper than ever before; if you don’t believe me, check out how many jobs are currently available from Homeland Security.
Will I be allowed to post this message? Who knows?
Some seem to feel the USA is trying to find a way to slowly allow us to discover the truth on our own as they scramble to cover their own behinds for the past 60 years where in the name of “National Security” or “economic reasons” hundreds of people have been murdered to maintain their secrets.

Once when I was in the Marine Corp, I went up on deck to have a cigarette. We were being tranporting asround by the Navy just before the Vietnam wore heated up around 1964 or 65. I looked up at the sky and saw what I thought was a meterite; the only problem is that this falling star turned and headed back into space. That is my signting.

With the quick response, I would say that we (gov) knew that it was coming or we were tracking it. Agreed that being so close to “DreamLand” it could very well be a test Air Craft. However, the “Janet” aircraft are only used for transport to and from “Dreamland”, so their envolvment on suspects me to think that this was pre-arranged. For example, a test flight gone wrong. If you were to shoot say a rocket into flight, you want to recover it, so you watch it until it lands or crashes for that matter. I’m not oblivious that we in fact are not the only ones in the entire exsistance of space. I for some reason have a gut feeling that our government is envolved in reverse engineering E.T. technology. When did our technology start to realy evolve? Shortly after 1942, Roswell NM, I could be off on the date…but the after effects not so much. I think they share information or something with other entities. They can keep the secrets of what they need for military research, but I for one would like to know what’s out there…I believe that the public is ready for the true release. What do we have to loose? Just my two cents…

i live in the UK, england to be exact, and i see strange lights and craft all the time, i live near a known ufo hotspot in the UK, cannock chase, ive seen the craft known as the Black triangles. they have an intense main red light in the center and three bright white lights at either corner, when i was 9, i had one fly directly over my house, all my neighbours saw it, it made the tv and anyting electrical, flicker or turn off.
this was all when i lived near a farmers field, i dont live there anymore, i live in a built up area. the last strange object i saw, was through my bedroom window, it descended into the tree line across the field, i ignored it though as people make fun of you when you start talking about weird lights.
strange thing is, the goverment in the UK, don’t seem to care. there releasing classified files to the public, which is great, unlike the U.S goverment who keep it all hidden.
it looks well a hacker from the U.K accessed the Pentagons Classified files and found witness testimonies from air traffic controllers to goverment officials on unidentified craft and exterterestial beings.

There is an area 75 miles north of Ely. It’s a closed mine operation that I used to work back in the late 90’s. We were up at the 7,500 Ft level working on one of the dumps. We took our lunch break around 9:00pm the level we were at gave us a line of sight view of the airspace above Dugway proving grounds. On at least three seperate occassions, we were able to watch the testing of highly advanced craft over the mountain ranges 50 to 70 miles to the East of us.
The craft would rise above the mountain range, first with dim array of colord lights then would gradually get to an intensity that was compatible with Venus. At this point I personally watched the craft instantly trac from one side of the range to the other with abilities that surpass any know current ‘manned’ craft. I feel pretty safe to say that it had to be testing done on some new technology (where ever they got it) cause they never tested it on the weekends! Only the Mil has that schedule. I was a EA6-b plane captain in the Navy and have seen all sorts of high speed accellaration ie; AB’s quick launches ect…, but unless it was designed with some new type of outer surface material. It would not have been able to hold together under those kinds of G’s.
The area is rarely accessed by any one and few know even where the old mine sets ( unless they worked there. But the haul road to the top of the mountain can still be accessed by ATV’s.
I keep wanting to go back out there on a week night with the Digi cam and see if they are still testing. Maybe some day I will. If I do, and I get a shot that’s worth sending, I will get it to Knapp, no charge no questions asked.
By the way, you might check the stats on this, but Dugway has more area to test over and they don’t always stay over the ranges. I know this from first hand experience.
The Air force is also trying to include White Pine Co. in their training airspace.
Have a good one!

My Friend Michael Lee Hill studies the UFO Phenomenon over Lake Erie here in Ohio. Michael has incredible footage of these UFO’s and has appeared on the History Channels UFO Hunters last May, Coast to Coast and other Forums. The UFO activity over Lake Erie had increased this summer. We can see many in the night sky at a time.
Michael and I believe that First Contact is inevitable and necessary. This cover up in Vegas could be a part of a puzzle.
One that will have the pieces put in place for all to see very soon, I feel.

Looking for any unpublished info about a 1962
UFO crash near Mesquite, NV. I know the basics, but
anyone have anecdotal or first-hand knowledge? Or
know anyone who does? It was written up in one book,
but has mostly been forgotten.
Mr. Campbell, maybe you’ve heard of this incident?
Nellis tried to intercept the object.

Writer, Bradford and I spoke in mid 70;s about my early life day dreams that I kept on having until about 12 yrs of age. He wrote the book ‘We are descended from Angels.’ imagine a couple of dinner plates facing each other with a semi-circle sliced out at one edge, wirling through space as a saucer. Not spinning, as the bridge is located in the semi-slice with a viewer much like the one on Star Trek. A young lady slim with long fine fingers and nails is touching the screen and making the scene come close or distant. The scene shows two worlds or such racing toward each other and soon to collide. The background noise is like a steam engine turning over something loud not unlike a steamboat may have sounded like. Not quiet. She touches the screen and it is distant now. No noise. The two items collide and a brilliant flash and all is dead quiet. She feels the loss of life and turns off the viewer and retires to a rightside up coffin like sleeper. It closes on her Golden scaley body. She seems to be wearing a uniform of lizard/fish like scales that are on the surface of her body. Her head and face are human and finely refined contours that are sharp and delicate. I know this dream as i had it over and over for so many years. I could look at any window at night and see it like a television screen. But as a child in San Antonio, Tx., I did not ever have any TV. I did not see one until my uncle frank bought one years later. His favorite was Walter Kronkite and The program One Step Beyond or such. I guess that was where he influenced me to search for the unusual to find answeres to such things as the Monk that I used to see walk the back yard at night. I would not go out because of it.., I referred to the ‘monk-a-monk!’ Today I have often been in contact with a craft or two mentally. They have warned me of a customer in my taxi that was not going to pay me. Some of the craft are like a knurled upside down top, silver, spinning through the clouds in broad day light. Others are Huge Orbs, White, like clouds that later disolve slowly and are gone. As a child I had a long room at the back of our house. It had luver windows half way up the walls to the ceiling. I used to watch the night skies and watch for the night ships that sped along. 1949-1954.

The night sky is dark and the country side echo’s each whisper and sparkles of christmas lights that are displaying the scene along the roads from the rural homes and lawns. One particular scene was four couples, farmers, dancing in front of three artificial stalls made up of christmas lights. It was cheerful although not a christmas scene. I stopped and took a picture of it on my Omega mp3 single shot which captured it on a chip for later downloading into my computer. The night was beautiful and no snow or rain. I felt all I would need is one shot. Later i down loaded the camera and then looked at what i had captured - The scene looked like a projection of the scene in space surrounded by orbs white, pinkish blue and purple etc., as it might be seen by a traveler in space. I realized that the orbs were consciousness vechicles and the scene was bi-dimensional. I put it up on my web. spaces.msn.com/celestialwhisper and I wrote something about it for others. The deep purple ones and violet are consciousness vehicles often seen moving through hall ways in buildings - life forms that are still with us and have not crossed over. Still playing out the habits and called ghost of the past. They refuse to see the light behind them and cross over to their next point of experience. The white ones are still connected to the Source. The others fall in between. Some are so deeply violet that they will soon lose their life force and become nothing more than meteors. Judge for yourself

I’m looking for anyone who observed something similar in August of 1967 in the Green Mountains area. While returning from a vacation at Cape Cod, my husband, nine-month-old son and I were travelling to northern New York State, when we observed a “flaming” triangular objectk, that we first thought to be an airplane, descending rapidly over the road. The object then appeared to have crashed, although we didn’t hear a sound.
We pulled over to the side of the road and exited our car, because we thought we’d see some signs of an explosion, or hear something. Several other vehicles did the same.
It seemed like only moments, but when we got back in our car, we found that more than two hours had elapsed. Either our watches had gone haywire, or we had actually spent more than two hours outside the car. To the best of our memory, it was only a few minutes.
We attempted to dial the car radio to some news program that would advise us that a commercial jet, or other airplane had crashed into the woods along the highway on which we were traveling.
If anyone else observed this, I would be very happy to know what this was about….

I live in Laughlin, Nv and work in Havasu Lake ca, i have traveled down Ca route 95 at 6am every morning for the past 3 years.I have seen the Military trucks that everyone is talking about on numerous times in the morning.I have seen them coming out from the foothills of the Chemehuevi mountains more than once. I have even stop beside the road from a distance and watched them pull out on to rt 95 in a timed manner, meaning that one would come out, and you would see another truck still off the side of the road about 500ft waiting.Than wait a certain time and than proceed out on the highway.

I was interupted during my UFO presentation in 6th grade in 1971 by someone that I believe was Melvin Brown’s stepson. He made claims back then that sounded like the Roswell story that broke the news in the 80s. I was introduced to his two sisters which had striking resemblance to Beverly & Harriet Brown. Researchers have lost contact with the Brown family to make any type of confirmation.

“This is the first time I decided to write about this” In December of 99 my friends and I went to Area51 to look for UFO’s we drove a Ford Thunderbird as close as we could to the secret base line. As I was getting closer I heard one of my friends yells! “hey there’s one there!” I did not want to accidently cross the government line so I told them to hold up until I turn the car around don’t get out of the car yet! So I placed the car in reverse and backed up then the rear tires dug into to the soft wet sand. So I stepped out and I got a bit scared at this point cause we are stuck in the middle of no where and I said to myself “great I’m sure security will give us a push out” and at this point I looked up and noticed lights that look like falling stars crossing over head from us and all around us they looked like they were 20K -30K feet off the ground so “if you want to call them falling stars fine ill take that”. So at this moment I had a my other friend jump into the drivers seat and my other friend and I started to push on the front of the car, slowly reversing to get out of the hole, finally the car was out! at this point one of the friends yelled oh my god there they are! I looked in the opposite direction of the base by the mountains and there was a bright white light moving across the sky. I turned to look at my friend to see if they took a picture and I looked past her and I yelled at her get in the car! And there they were! Base security with no visible lights on driving with blue light covers on their head lights. Security was driving with night vision goggles at a high rate of speed you could hear the engines but you could not see them. We started driving away from the base towards the main road. The thunderbird had a supercharger, but because of the loose gravel it made it impossible to keep the car going in a straight line. As we were speeding away for a moment I thought to myself maybe base security stopped! I drove with no headlights on and off for a few miles I knew that there was two stop signs and I knew I had to turn left on the second stop sign to make it to the black box by Hwy 375. so for ¼ mile I was speeding and not stopping. So I tapped my brake lights on to light up the rear and there they were right behind me so I floored it and pulled away from them turned my lights on and found the second stop sign turned left and stopped. Security stopped as well on the road cattycorner from us. My friend rolled the window down and stuck her head out the window and tried to take a photo of the jeeps. At this point they started to move again and I grabbed her and pulled her into the car. We finally made it to the main road and the two security jeeps stopped and turned around and turned their lights back off and headed back to the way they came from. We sat outside of the car on the main road and recounted everything we saw and cheered that we didn’t get caught!! Around 11:30 PM we decided to drive out to Rachel, NV which was about 20 miles out. We reached the little alien inn and started to looking at the sky, we could see lights that were flashing we could also hear some planes in the distance but nothing big. so we drove at least a mile up and down the road in all directions and decided to pull off on a road called FARM road and just sat there and watch for anything to happen. Around 1:30 AM at a distance you can see some lights by the mountains on the east end. There was a red, white, blue strobe light that can be seen from a distance behind my vehicle! I woke up everyone in the car and told them to start looking around and turn on the video cameras. I turned the car on to warm up the interior and was looking north west looking down the road (Hwy 375) and rolled my window down and noticed a light coming down the road west of us, I stated to my friends “oh great here comes a diesel truck this might scare these lights away”. 2:00AM I started to flash my high beams lights to the strange lights that were sitting in front of us at a distance! Again I rolled down my window and looked at the light coming down the road and it seamed to stop on the side of the road. I looked at my friends and said maybe the trucker sees them also that’s why he’s not moving! I grab the camera and I was filming the one light facing East of us. My friend said “what the hell is that” and I took my eye off of the view finder and turned my head to look at the trucker and noticed that it wasn’t a truck at all! the light was gold in color, it seamed to have a tail of light (like when they take a quick photo of a car and you see the trail of the red light) but this thing was moving slow and just hovering over those fiberglass road markers taking up the whole with of the road. You could not tell if it had any marking or features cause it was glowing gold fuzzy color. The other thing I noticed was the glow underneath the object was not bright, but it lit up what ever it was hovering over, but the glow was not bright at all like illuminating the sides of the desert or anything like that one bit. Since the car was turned on and in neutral, I told everyone that I was going to hit it with the car but just joking, at 200 feet west of us I placed the car in drive and started to roll on out to the road making a left without turning on my headlights or hitting the brakes. The object just sat there didn’t move. I told the rest of them to get ready turn on the camera. They said the batteries are dead! then my car stared to feel like it was going to die the closer I got to the object. At this point I turned on the cars headlights and stopped in front of the object I leaned forward in my seat and looked up and my friend said theirs a person there. I noticed a slender person shadow not alien leaning forward looking at us! From what I think was a window but I couldn’t tell because again you can’t see any features on the object cause of its glow. Then the person ran back away from the window and the object shot very quickly in the south west direction back into the desert! the object jumped from side to side in a zig zag motion away from us and turned itself off around 400 feet away. The only visible thing that could be seen was a small red light that seamed to disappear if you did not keep your eyes on it. The cars engine ran good after that! So turned the car in the middle of the road and aimed the car towards the red light and started to flash the high beams at it for 15-20 minutes. 2:30 AM I decided to leave because I could see vehicles headlights moving along the security shack road in Rachel. So I started heading back south east away from Rachel. I drove past the black box and notice security with there headlights off sitting there by the black box, as I past them I stayed in the center of the road and shut my own lights off for a min so they could not see my plate number. I sped up and turned the lights back on! As my friends started to review the film in the car they said that they had half a battery left on the camera. As we crested over the last part of the many hills we could see the town lights and hwy 93 I looked to the right by the mountain and I could see what I think is helicopters heading towards us I counted three of them! Just as I turned right on the road I could see four lights now flying next to us on hwy 93 these weren’t helicopters because they made no noise and they did not look like helicopters they looked like small pods with small wings and forward domed canopy the size of a VW bug car. I slowed down and all four of them crossed in front of us and lifted about 200 feet in the air in a line with of the road. There was a guy driving towards us in a black dually dodge truck that stopped in the middle of the road and got out of his truck. We continued driving up the road and stopped we got out of the car and noticed the guy looking up at these objects we started to take a few photos and noticed one of these objects turn around in mid-air and start to move towards us. We jumped back into the car and sped away. We got to a closed gas station used the credit card and filled up the tank and never went back to Area51, until recently.
