Four dark objects moving westerly at incredible speed in parallel , flying
in a diagonal formation were noted. The objects were traveling a parallel
vector and arranged in a diagonal formation. It only took a few seconds
for them to cross the sky. I noticed them at 45 degrees inclination, 90
degrees ascension with in a few seconds, they vanished out of sight.

Location : Eagan, MN
Shape : Light
I glanced skyward and saw an object moving extremely quickly across
the night sky. It appeared as two points of light, seperated but
traveling uniformly. The object materialized, traveled very quickly
on a straight path, then disappeared. I confess that the object was
quite faint.
The object was two points of light, seperated by just a degree or
so. The lights appeared white in color and kept a constant level
of brightness. The two points of light were obviously traveling as
one unit as they moved across the night sky. I just happened to
look upward to admire the night sky when I left a restaurant and
noticed the object moving on a southeast to northwest path. Within
5 seconds, the object vanished as quickly as it appeared. The object
never came near the horizon. I recently graduated from college with
a degree in Sociology. I took an Astronomy class in college and
consider it somewhat of a hobby of mine. I have seen countless
shooting stars and this object was very different from anything I
had seen in the night sky before. It traveled way too quickly to be
a jet and there was no actual "streak" as is commonly observed with
meteors. The intensity of the lights remained constant until it
disappeared.

Location : Andover, MN
Shape : Light
My brothers and I thought we were looking at a shooting star that
started moving in diferent directions as it started moving away
and getting harder to see we saw 2 of them of in the distance I
tried to tape it but it was to dark out for the camcorder to work.
A star or sphere blueish-greenish or star colored shaped object was
moving across the sky first in a straight line so I thought it was
a shooting star. So, I told my brothers to look at a shooting star,
but I couldn't find it. Then my youngest brother pointed out an
object circling above in the sky. I tried to record it, but my
camcorder wouldn't pick up even the stars. As it moved into the
distance, it became harder to see them off in the distance. We could
slightly see two more off in the distance, then we couldn't see them
anymore. Closer to the ground, probably 300 feet off the ground.

There was a light similar to a falling star, only bigger and longer
in duration... I have seen plenty of falling stars and this was not
one of them... it could not have been any known aircraft... the tail
was long and very bright like a falling star... it was yellow, orange,
and greenish.
Date of Sighting: May 16, 1998
Time: Between 10:00-11:00 pm CDT
Location: City of Lakeshore, Cass County, MN.
Weather: Clear and Calm
Witnesses were fishing and stargazing on Lake Margret (part of the
Gull lake chain) when one of them saw a flash of streaking light
at apporximately 90 degrees in the night sky. The witness described
the object as starlike in appearance and size. The object remained
stationary for a short time and then moved very rapidly toward the
west, leaving a short trail of white light behind it when it took
off. At arms length, the distance covered was approximately 3 feet.
It covered the distance almost instantaneously and stopped. Again,
the object remained stationary for a moment and then shot off at an
angle. The object continued to dart around in a zig-zag pattern like
that for about five minutes before it took off toward the southwest
and disappeared. Afterward, the witnessess continued to watch the
the sky for about 10 minutes when the object returned to the same
position where they had first spotted it. Again the object repeated
the stop and go zig-zag pattern for about five minutes before it
shot off towards the southwest and disappeared.
MICHIGAN UFOLOGIST CONFIRMS SAUCER
SIGHTING IN HOWELL, MI
A second UFO sighting took place in Michigan the
night of May 19, 1998, four hours after the satellite
Galaxy IV went haywire.
A UFO was seen flying high over Howell, Michigan,
(population 8,184) about 50 miles (80 kilometers) west
of Detroit, at 10:30 p.m.
Jeff Westover, a sketch artist for Michigan MUFON,
reports, "I, too, had a May 19, 1998 sighting in Marlette,
Michigan (population 1,924) at 10:15 p.m. I noticed a
large cluster of reddish lights approximately 15 to 20
degrees above the west-southwest horizon that, after
two minutes of being stationary, shot straight up into
the night sky."
"The sighting took place at about the same time as
the Howell, MI sighting," adding that his object's position
near the western horizon "would put it over the Howell
area if it were high enough in the sky."
Marlette is in the "Thumb" area of Michigan, a town
on Highway 53 approximately 55 miles (88 kilometers)
north of Detroit. (Many thanks to Jeff Westover for
this report and UFOUPDATES.)
MICHIGAN
Skywatch�s Doug Parrish reports that at 10:31 p.m. ET on May 19, 1998 a point
of light the size of a star was seen moving slowly across the sky above
Howell, MI, (55 miles NW of Detroit). The altitude of the light was
approximately 85 degrees in the NE sky, almost overhead. Upon being observed,
the point of light immediately started to glow brighter until in less than 2
seconds time it had become as bright as, if not brighter than, the sun at
noon. Since it was only a point of light, it did not cast any appreciable
shadow on the residential landscape. Once I had "acknowledged" the light as
having been seen, it started to diminish in brightness and in a time span of
five seconds, it had dimmed into invisibility. The light was moving slowly
directly south. The entire observation lasted less than 10 seconds. The
distance covered in that time was equivalent to the thumb and the index finger
held at arm's length and spread apart by 7 inches. The temperature was 73
degrees with a clear sky. No noise was heard and there were no running lights.
The sun had set about 8:55 p.m., so I immediately suspected the transpolar
satellite, but satellites slip in and out of the Earth's shadow over a much
greater expanse of sky. This is the second such observation of almost exactly
the same nature and description, and even seen in the same spot in the sky.
The first observation was on Labor Day evening in September, 1997. Thanks to

June '98 Reports
Subject: UFO in Rochester, MN
My sighting or whatever it was took place in late June, 1998. I am not
quite sure of the date, but it was the night of the Rochesterfest Street
dance. Anyway, a large severe thunderstorm was moving inand the dance was
cancelled. So my father and I were out side watching the storm move in
having some cigars. The wind was extremely strong, lighting and thunder
but no rain yet. The ceiling of the clouds was low about 2000 feet, max.
With the wind the clouds were moving west to east quickly. Just as we
were about to go in, I glance up at the clouds and a distinct black
dot maybe 5-10 feet across was moving across the sky. My dad saw it
about the same time and we thought, boy that balloon is moving...but.
The dot was moving very quickly east to west, against the wind. We
watched this object just hugg the base of the clouds, occasionally
going through really low clouds than reappearing. We had full sight
for about 2 minutes from east to west until the trees blocked out view.
5 minutes after that there was a tornado touchdown north of town and
we headed in when the sirens went off.
MICHIGAN (6/98)
City:?
I want to share the sighting I had here in June at 11:30 PM, when I saw a
small black object spinning counterclockwise between the houses across the
street. It spun a few seconds, then it rose up in the air and disappeared.
Then, suddenly a large oval shaped object moved into view. It was bright like
a full moon but oval in shape. It moved slowly, then a similarly shaped black
one moved over it so that you could see half the oval disc and make out half
of the black. Then, as they moved together overhead, the light disc and the
dark one separated and came together a couple more times before they
disappeared at high speed. During this time, I was frozen on my driveway. I
had no control over my body- I couldn't run or yell out. When it disappeared
over the house, I ran in and dragged my Mom out to see. I spent the night
outside until the wee hours hoping it would return. Right after that, my
dishwasher became very hot inside even though we had not run it. Two days
later, my son and I woke up with strange stains on our feet and on our
pajamas. I will never forget that beautiful sight that night. MUFON
investigators came to my house and investigated my sighting. It felt good to
be able to tell someone about it right after it happened. The local police
referred me to them saying, that they take UFO reports seriously! How
refreshing! I also called the Air Force to ask if they had any sightings.
They said no, and asked why. I said I saw something I can't explain. The man
I talked to said they are not allowed to take any UFO reports. I said OK and
just as I was about to hang up he said "but I am very interested in what you
saw." This was the third time I have seen UFOs. The first two happened in
Hawaii when 20 of us saw a huge triangular ship fly right over our heads. The
Air Force told us it was a weather balloon. Oh well.

UFO SIGHTING IN THE BLUFFS OF BARABOO WISCONSIN EVERYDAY!
This UFO sighting is taking place in an area where Billy Dee lived 6
years ago. The Dee's had moved from the Baraboo rural area 6 years
ago, primarily to get away from the Ufo and alien enounter's. But in
October of last year, they returned to live once again in the rural
Baraboo area.
Billy Dee was startled after reading a local report. Why?
Mr. Dee and his family had gone through a series of Ufo and alien
encounters in the late 80's, and in 1990, in the same area where this
daily UFO sighting was, or still may be taking place.
Mr. Dee comments with this! Oh my God! Its still going on!"
"Either they haven't left and continue
to abduct innocent people like us, or the location is a continuing
Hot Spot for Ufo activity!". Dee further said, "My God, what if they
are abducting and hurting others like they did to us?"
Mr. Dee produced a movie centered around what happened in a series of
UFO sightings, encounters and alien abduction, while his family and
him lived in their rural home, back in the bluffs of the Baraboo area
of Wisconsin. The movie also centered around one of their most
horrific encounters that lasted from December 15 of 1989 to the
beginning of February of 1990.
Below, is a report where a routine Ufo sighting took place early this
spring, and in the same area. It was not stated that the incidents
were taking place in the area that Dee reported. But Dee had done
some follow up investigative work and found the Ufo sighting's report
was taking place west of Baraboo, and in the area where the Dee
family had lived from 1986 till 1991.
Please read on below of a report that was found on a local Baraboo
website. Mr. Dee states he will do further investigation, and
hopefully get into the area of the sightings with camcorder
equipment.
Above Reported By UFOSSI
06-27-98 Ramsey, Minnesota
Reporter: Tim Hagemeister, Director-NACOMM.
Experience: At approximately 19:45 on June 27 in Ramsey, Minnesota
(30miNorth of Minneapolis) as my family was finishing a late supper
in our home,our 10 year old son Ariel stepped out on the deck to scan
for storm clouds.Since we have had quite a few powerful thunderstorms
this week, he wasintently watching the skies.As my wife, Yvonne and I
were visiting with my father, my son beganto yell from the deck, "Dad,
come and see the UFO!" Thinking that he wasplaying a joke on us I
replied, "Yeah, right!" After his persistence forthe next 10 seconds
I decided to play along and go out and see."See" he said, "It's right
up there now." He was pointing at North 330degrees and almost directly
above us. At first I couldn't see anythingand was about to go inside
when he pointed it out again.To my amazement there was a black "dot"
about the size of a pencil erasurewhen held at arms length traveling
just below the cloud ceiling. It wasmoving the speed of a typical
night time satellite at a steady pace headingN330'. Knowing that
there was time to get a closer view, I asked for my10X50 binoculars
and was able to view it for another 30 seconds along withmy wife. It
seemed to have a triangular shape to me but my wife claimedit was
circular.I was about to write off the sighting as a B1, B2 or F117
due to itsstark black color when it just stopped for about 10 seconds
in place. Bothmy wife and myself witnessed the suspended motion until
the lower scatteredcloud cover blocked it from view. After the lower
cloud cover cleared wewere unable to find it again.There is the
possibility of a balloon as well but again, the objectdid stop from
distancing itself from our line of sight for around 10-15seconds.
Because at this point it was about 45' above the horizon and heading
away from our vantage point, it should have become increasingly
smallerbut retained its size for the suspended time. Very unlikely
for a balloonunless caught in some type of back draft.The object's
shape seemed to remain constant on departure, this alsogives credence
to the ball shape verses the triangular.

UFO, BLACK HELICOPTERS SIGHTED IN WISCONSIN
Five black helicopters were seen flying northward
over Port Washington, Wisconsin (population 9,338)
by a local man who reported his sighting to MUFON.
Bob Mueller reported that he "saw black
helicopters fly over his house on Saturday, June 13,
1998, and again on Sunday," June 14, 1998. "On
both days, five helicopters flew over, then came back
a few hours later, heading south. They looked like
UH-60 Blackhawk gunships with a capacity of about
a dozen troopers apiece. There were no markings,
and their low-visibility paint scheme made them
hard to see."
On Sunday, June 14, 1998, at about 11 p.m.,
Bob reported, "I went out to my car to get something,
and I saw a moving, flashing orange light very high in
the sky directly overhead. When it flashed, it was
very bright. So much so, it reflected off my car (and)
glasses, caught my attention enough so that I had
to look up. It appeared to be moving in a straight line.
The UFO was heading due north--the same heading,
and virtually along the same path, as the helicopters."
Bob ran indoors to get his wife Michele. But when
the couple reached the yard, 30 seconds later, the
UFO was gone.
Port Washington is located on the western shore
of Lake Michigan 25 miles (40 kilometers) north of
Milwaukee, Wisconsin. (See Filer's Files #26 for 1998.

MORE UFO ACTIVITY IN MARLETTE, MICHIGAN
On Wednesday, June 17, 1998, at 11 p.m.,
Michigan ufologist Jeff Westover spotted "five
star-like objects in the sky moving very fast,
three moving due north and two to the south-
southeast. One of the southerly-moving objects
intersected with a westbound jet. This particular
object had a veering movement to it. The other
four seemed to go very fast on a straight path."
On Saturday, June 20, 1998, at 11 p.m.,
Westover was driving into Marlette (population 1924)
when he spied "a brilliant reddish-orange light" just
above the southern horizon.
"I hurriedly made it through town, past the bright
street lights and through heavy cruising traffic, and
out into the south end of town," Jeff reported. "It was
still there, 20 degrees above the horizon, almost
directly in front of me and bobbing like a boat on
choppy seas. The single light was jumping around
slightly. Then it happened. I pulled off onto a side
road on a slight hill and parked the car, waiting to see
if the light would reappear...binoculars ready."
"Sure enough, it reappeared within two minutes
and was flying bright, although not giving off any glow
or halo. It seemed to be like a ball of fire, concentrated
and bright. Through the binoculars it was a bright ball
of reddish orange light, brighter than any star in the sky,
and seemed to have a bobbing motion to it. And then
it simply vanished before my eyes...It suddenly reappeared
at 20 degrees and then dropped to the ground. I lost sight
of it at that point." (Many thanks to Jeff Westover of
MUFON for this news story.) UFOUPDATES
July '98 Reports
Sighting Date: July 27?, 1998 10:32pm CST
Sighting Location: near Lake Nokomis, South Minneapolis, MN
10:32 PM - after sighting Wife was outside listening to tree frogs when
she spotted a pair of seemingly random flashing lights to the West North-
West of our location (Lake Nokomis area). The lights were stationary for
at least 5 minutes. I went to get the binoculars. Upon my return, the lights
had started moving downwards - but maintaining the same distance from us.
Through the binoculars we noticed that it seemed to be two separate objects
moving closely together. After another 5 minutes it started moving to the
south, again maintaining the same distance from us. At this point we had
to move from outside to our upstairs window (due to trees that blocked
viewing from the lower angle).
Since we live near the airport, we are used to recognizing a multitude of
planes on both approach and departure - by their lights and sounds. It was
at this point that we noticed that we had not seen nor heard ANY planes
coming from or heading towards the airport. It was also at this point that
we also noticed many other, much farther away and higher in the sky flashes
of light (white flashes - not red like the underside of a plane). We lost
the original object behind a group of large trees - a few minutes later
the rest of the flashes in the sky stopped as well.
It was at this point that the airplane flights from the airport resumed.
Have you had any other reports in this area around this time? Are you
able to confirm why the planes seemed to stop arriving and leaving the
airport during this time?
Additional:
The sighting occured between slightly after 10:00 PM and 10:25 PM - give
or take a few minutes on either side.
There were two objects when viewed through binoculars. They were completely
stationary for a long period of time - flashing a bright white light from
each object at random intervals and for random lengths of time. When it did
finally move it went 'down' or towards the earth at an extremely fast rate
of speed - until it was slightly above the roof of our neighbors garage. At
this point it stopped again for a while before it started moving to the
South - pausing occassionally. Neither of these directions are towards or
away from the airport - paralleling it would be a better description. It
was obvious to us that they were not planes in any sort of landing/holding
pattern - from their distance, speed, movement, the shape of the objects,
and the odd flashing lights. We lost the objects behind a tree (we were
watching it through the tree with the binoculars) - they were visible
through the leaves, but then they were gone. We watched for quite some time
for it to reappear through or on either side of the tree - but it did not.
There were a number of things that were not 'normal' for any kind of
aircraft that we get through our area.
1) The objects hovered motionless for over 5 minutes at a time.
2) When it first moved it was extremely rapid 'downward' movement.
3) The objects moved in almost perfect alignment with one another at an
extremely close range to each other
4) After pausing again, they moved at a rate of speed too slow for any kind
of jet aircraft.
5) During the second move, they paused multiple times along its path.
6) The extremely bright and random flashing white lights (there were no
other lights on the objects). It's hard to describe the patterns of the
flashing in writing.
7) The sudden dissappearance of the objects.
8) The odd widespread *extremely* distant flashing white lights in almost
the same pattern.

CAVALLARI CAPTURES UFOs ON FILM OVER LAKE MICHIGAN (7/3/98)
New York ufologist Alex Cavallari took color photos of orb-like
UFOs during his July trip to northern Michigan. On July 3, 1998,
Cavallari photographed a "standard white Orb" near Trout Lake in
Kalkaska County, 20 miles (32 kilometers) east of Traverse City
(population 15,800). On July 14, 1998, Cavallari was on the
shore of East Traverse Bay, near Traverse City, which is located
253 miles (405 kilometers) northwest of Detroit, and noticed
"flashes and streaks of white light above the treeline to the
west...As we were taking the pictures, we noticed a few small
Orbs hovering in the distance, so we took a few more photos.
Then they just vanished."
Later that day, Cavallari "decided to get off the beach and go
sit at one on the picnic tables. I was having a cigarette when I
watched a big amber-colored Orb appear almost directly in front
of the middle of the bay. It was about one or two miles away
(offshore). The Orb was also about four inches above" the bay at
that distance and looked to be "about one-quarter of an inch in
diameter."
He described the Orb as "almost yellow-orangish in color,"
adding that "we watched the Orb's appearance change to a very
bright white. This was just before it vanished. It was a solid
color. It did not blink or pulse. It was just light and it
remained the same intensity most of the time." (See UFO Hunting

UFO SEEN BY BOAT CREW ON LAKE HURON
On Tuesday, July 14, 1998, at 2:30 a.m., Ed Lepps
was running his sailboat north on Lake Huron, taking
part in the annual Port Huron to Mackinac Island race.
"At 2:30 a.m., we were about 2.5 nautical miles
north of Presque Isle (Michigan) when I looked up and
saw a bright white sphere racing east across the sky,"
Ed reported. "It was moving very slowly and quite
erratically from side to side. This lasted for about a
minute, then it moved very rapidly at a 45-degrees
angle into the sky and disappeared. Three other
people were on the deck at the same time and saw
the same thing."
Presque Isle is just off Michigan Highway 23,
approximately 273 miles (437 kilometers) north of
Detroit. (See Filer's Files #30 for 1998. Many thanks
to George A. Filer for this news story.) UFOROUNDUP
Michigan sighting:
Saturday, July 18, 1998, at 10:50 p.m., a couple in
Marlette, Michigan (population 1,924) spotted a UFO.
According to Jeffrey S. Westover of Michigan
MUFON, the couple--Lee, 54, and Norman, 52--
were "stargazing from their backyard patio" and
saw "a bright golden-yellow star-like object moving
from the northwest, near the Big Dipper, to the
southeast. 'It flew at least as twice as fast as a
(commercial) jet and traveled in a perfectly straight
line,' said Norm, 'There was no sound.'"
"Five minutes later, a second star-like object
followed exactly the same path, originating from
the northwest, passing through the Big Dipper and
traveling to the southeast. Both objects were
comparable in brightness to 2.5 magnitude stars."
At approximately 11:15 p.m., Lee and Norm
witnessed "'a single white light, moving at typical
jet speed' and as bright as a third magnitude star.
The bright light was steady, not pulsing, as it moved
through Ursa Major. With the witnesses facing
north, and the object moving away at approximately
70 degrees altitude, it suddenly flared. The flare
expanded the light to about ten times its original
size."
"'We both exclaimed, WOW! at the same time,'
Norm said. The flare lasted for about a second before
the light returned to its original size. A few seconds
later, it flared again. At this point, the light disappeared
to the north." (Many thanks to Jeffrey S. Westover of
Michigan MUFON for this report.)
The sightings report below was sent to me by one of my Michigan UFO
hunting partners, all parties are know to myself in this event but due to
work related pressures there anonymity must be preserved.
Note from alex:
I just returned from Michigan after 6 days of UFO hunting , we saw and filmed
many orbs a few rods and a saucer shaped craft while we were there, over the
Howell Michigan area we filmed a Red Rod and some Plasma Orbs, it appears
that this state is also a UFO hot spot with unknown objects flying in there
airspace which are easy to find, view and film.

Date of Sighting: July 17, 1998
Time of Sighting: 11:10 p.m.
Sky Conditions: Clear
Witness Report:
Witness resides in Pinckney, Michigan (Livingston County), which is north of
Ann Arbor and west of Detroit. Witness was home alone at about 11:10 p.m. in
her kitchen when she noticed "white lights" flashing outside her kitchen
window. (She remembers looking at the clock because of the appearance of
lights at that time of night.) She found this odd because the kitchen window
faces a large, open field, not the road, and that it "gets pitch black out
here." Witness then moved closer to the window to inspect the source of the
"white light flashes". As she looked outside she noticed a "bright red light.
I mean bright" that just appeared to the southeast heading slowly in a
northwest direction and stopped above the tree line outside her kitchen
window. She said, as she points her arm at approximately a 60 degree angle,
was a "softball-sized, round, bright, red light......like a big tomato" with
no defined edges. The "light" hovered in that position for approximately ten
to fifteen minutes, and pulsated, so she chose to stay inside and view it
because she was to afraid to go outside to get a closer look. Witness then
noticed an airplane approach from the southeast, circled the object twice,
and then "shot off back to the southeast", and that there was no noise from
either the light or the airplane.
The light continued to hover in the same position for about five minutes
after the plane exited from view. She stated the light then slowly headed west,
northwest, then disappeared. "It was like it went behind a cloud and
disappeared, but there was no clouds." Witness insists the second object
was an airplane and had proper FAA configuration. (Witness has a close friend
who is a pilot and also spends many nights watching the planes in the sky.)
Furthermore, she states the area has no military operating space, and that
"I know the difference between a helicopter and an airplane."
Witness denied any complaints of headache, dizziness, nausea, numbness,
tingling, or ear ringing. When questioned further of any possible symptoms
she informed me she did have "popping and cracking in her ears" but equates
this to an ear infection. Please direct questions to [email protected] for
forwarding to the witness.

MICHIGAN
On Friday July 10, 1998 at 3:49 pm EST, a woman driving north on US-127 near
Leslie, Michigan (15 miles south of Lansing) noticed "the glint of a silvery
object" near a small cumulous cloud. She described the object as the size of
a Cessna-type aircraft, but "perfectly round like a steel BB". She further
noticed "a shiny band around the middle" of the object. The object seemed to
"slide up against the edge of the cumulous cloud, rolled down so that the top
reflected a shine and then it rolled up so that the bottom then reflected the
shine". She noted that the "shiny band" stayed in the middle of the object
which enabled her to determine which side that the reflection came off of.
She noted that the object then "slid/flew into the edge" of the cloud from
which it never reappeared.
On July 3, 1998, around 3 PM EST, a 14 year old boy had a sighting of a
"flashlight UFO" at Blue Lake Fine Arts Music Camp in Twin Lake, ten miles
east of Lake Michigan. The boy was in an outdoor pavilion rehearsing on the
violin with other orchestra students when he looked up. He saw a strange
object that resembled a "metal gray flashlight with a nose bigger than the
back end". He could see no windows or lights on it. It was flying in a
"straight horizontal line" west towards Lake Michigan. The object was at a
high altitude, and at arm's length was as big as his index finger. He saw it
for ten seconds before it flew into a very large cloud. When asked if he
pointed out the object to any of the others in the orchestra he replied, "No,
because the teacher would've said I was disturbing the rehearsal". Thanks to
