A
couple of weeks ago, I reported that Sean Kirkpatrick of AARO, had said that
they were going to investigate UFO sightings going back to 1997. Not long after
that, Christopher Mellon said that the investigation was going to begin with
sightings in 1945. I believe the difference is that Kirkpatrick was talking
about the official DoD and DNI investigation and Mellon was referring to the
NASA end of the probe. Not exactly contradictory statements, just a difference
in the investigative philosophy of two separate but parallel investigations.
I
have also heard that originally the idea was to investigate reports back to
1947 when the flying saucers were reported in the United States. There had been
sightings prior to Ken Arnold’s of June 24, 1947, but they had gone unnoticed
by the press and the general public. Arnold’s sighting captured the attention
of the country and after that the newspapers were filled with reports from
around the country and around the world.
The
1945-time frame came, according to some, to take the investigation back to the
Foo Fighters of World War II. These sightings were never explained and when the
war ended the imperative to find an explanation disappeared. That was also
cover the Ghost Rockets seen over Scandinavia and then northern Europe in 1946.
Again, no solid explanation has been offered for those sightings.

As
I have said, there are many good reports being made today. On September 4 of
last year, the witness in Montara, California said that he saw a large,
cylinder-shaped object at the top of a mountain. He said that it was close to a
man-made structure. He thought it was some sort of parking garage because there
was a cork screw pattern on one side. It was tall and smooth and had a black
stripe on it. At the top were several smooth, silver cylinders and to the right
was a structure that hung over the edge of the mountain.
The
primary witness didn’t get a good look at the structure, but the secondary
witnesses did. The object was in sight for one to two minutes. As they rounded
the mountain, they looked back up but the object, whatever it was, had
disappeared. There was a corresponding spike in the magnetometer at one of the
MADAR Node sites providing a secondary chain of evidence.
A
much better sighting occurred on August 11 of last year near Willimantic,
Connecticut. According to the witness, two objects were seen flying side by
side. They were triangular shaped and had a series of lights on them. The UFOs
passed directly overhead, flying low with no noise. The objects moved straight
up and disappeared.
According
to Fran Ridge, there were three important points. A
specific time was given. The witness said, "they then moved straight up
quickly,” indicating a vertical ascent. And finally at Newington, Connecticut,
which is only 27 miles west of the sighting area, MADAR Node106 had a
noticeable increase in the magnetometer reading. The onboard compass had varied
for 3 minutes and the sighting lasted three minutes.
From Sydney, Australia, comes a video taken by a woman identified
only as Tanya on January 18 of this year. She was sitting on the balcony when
the UFO caught her attention. She thought it might be a meteor, but then
realized that it had stopped to hover. She said that it then shot off at high
speed.
The UFO is a bright, white object seen against a blue sky. The
motion seems to be the result of the object’s motion, though the camera does
move. There doesn’t seem to be a break in the filming, based on the time code
with the video. You can see the video here:

Ross Coulthart, who investigates UFOs and who watched the video, said that it moved too fast for a drone, though he couldn’t rule that out completely. He said that it didn’t move like other aerial craft, such as a balloon. He did say that it would help if there were other witnesses.
