Cases
of Interest: Shapeshifting UFOs
by Roger Marsh
UFO
encounters may be frightening as witnesses observe never-before-seen
objects moving in incredible ways. But some sightings are
further stressed when the object morphs into different shapes.
Four
shape-shifting UFO sightings were listed in the recently-released
book, UFO Cases of Interest: 2018 Edition, by the Mutual
UFO Network (MUFON).
A
New Mexico witness at Albuquerque reported watching a boomerang-shaped
object just 500 feet away that hovered and seemed to change
shape while moving, according to testimony in Case 82456.
The
witness was outside walking north on a lunch break at 12:30
p.m. on March 2, 2017.
A
light gray shape caught my eye, the witness stated.
The object was approximately 500 feet away, and about
50 feet in the air over a building. At first, I thought
it was a flock of birds, and I said, That's interesting.
What kind of birds would those be? It seemed to be
moving east in a slow flutter. Then it disappeared, like
it folded back into the sky.
The
witness thought that was strange.
It
then reappeared in a fat boomerang shape. It seemed to be
made up of multiple light gray, possibly reflective objects,
but working together, like a school of fish, or sequins
on a purse or dress. It did seem to have a common background
that was dark gray or black. It was still fluttering, but
it paused and hovered and moved backward, just slightly.
At
this point, a bare tree blocked the view, but the witness
kept walking to see the object again.
When
I saw the shape again, it had changed. And it seemed to
be a soft, billowy, upside down parachute shape, or the
bottom of a puffy cloud or a puff of factory smoke. I almost
convinced myself it was a deflated weather balloon, but
there was no top to the shape, only a distinct bottom. The
color of this object seemed to blend with the sky. I could
only decipher a dark gray sitting in the bottom of the cloud/parachute.
Then
the object changed again.
Now
it became almost transparent, as if the sun were reflecting
on an invisible craft. Now there really is no overall shape
that I can make out. I saw a few smaller, very rigid shapes,
like flat prisms or solar panels, and they seemed to fold
backwards into the object and then the whole object faded
away.
The
witness said these events occurred in about 20 - 25 seconds.
An
Idaho witness at Idaho Falls reported UFO sightings over
a period of time, including a huge, camouflaged triangle,
according to testimony in Case 88223.
One
of those sightings occurred on June 8, 2017
.
I've seen quite a few UFOs and think I've been possible
visited, the witness stated. A saucer, a huge,
camouflaged triangle, a huge white orb covered the moon
and moved across the sky, an orange orb in my backyard and
more. All in Idaho Falls area. People just don't look up.
Idaho
MUFON Field Investigator Scott Thunstrom closed this case
as an Unknown Aerial Vehicle.
Witness
reports seeing a massive triangular craft while camping
near a lake, Thunstrom wrote in his report. Triangle
shape, changed direction, changed shape, cast light, hovered,
affected cell phone, appeared solid, glowed, reflective,
glowing, mist/shroud, larger than aspirin in apparent size,
white surface lights, pink/rose exterior lights, red-orange,
yellow-orange, and blue surface lights, pulsating lights,
no sound, 20 feet or less from witness, lowest altitude
at over 500 feet, flight path stationary, unknown direction
first and last observed.
A
Fort Rucker pilot reported watching an oddly-shaped,
circular object hovering over the Alabama army base,
according to testimony from Case 84970.
The
witness had just finished morning PT (Physical Training)
and was standing around talking to two other friends before
heading home at 6:45 a.m. on June 15, 2017.
It
was a warm morning with partly cloudy skies, the witness
stated. The sun was just starting to peak over the
buildings around us and was quickly starting to warm the
day. At approximately 6:45 am, I observed a UH-60 (Blackhawk)
helicopter flying above the tree line approximately a mile
from my current location. This is a pretty typical sight
as Fort Rucker is home to initial Army flight training.
As the witness looked up to watch the Blackhawk helicopter,
another object was noticed hovering approximately a thousand
feet or so above the tree line.
From
my line of sight, the Blackhawk was passing under the object
but was much closer to me then the object appeared to be.
From where I was standing the object was rather small but
taking into consideration the altitude and distance from
my location, it had to have been no smaller than the size
of an average car. The object omitted a light similar to
a star but was not as bright. You could also tell that the
objects color was most likely white or a dull-like
color. We knew this was no star because it was below the
clouds and appeared to be much closer. The longer we watched
it, the less it seemed to have a definitive shape. It appeared
to be shifting shapes kind of like a ball of liquid would
behave. Almost like a pulsating type behavior.
None
of the three observers could identify the object.
A
Missouri witness at Gladstone reported watching a shapeshifting,
black craft moving along at the three top level, according
to testimony in Case 85100.
The
witness and her son were driving southbound along the 6500
block of N. Flora at 9:02 p.m. on July 14, 2017.
I
saw bright lights just under the low-lying clouds as a storm
was blowing in, the witness stated. They caught
my attention as they looked quite low to the ground. I observed
two amber lights on each side with a brighter, larger white
light in the middle. As we moved forward, my view was obstructed
by trees, so I sped up slightly to better my view. The lights
had disappeared, but as I scanned the sky looking for them,
I noticed a large black object moving slowly directly in
front and above my vehicle.
The
witness shouted to her son and pointed in the direction
of the object.
We
witnessed the object as it crossed above the road, heading
northwest, at the closest point to us being about 20 feet
above. We pulled into the parking lot of the elementary
school and watched the craft fold in on itself, changing
from a black, sphere-like object, to a squared shape, then
into a large, disc-shaped craft. It ascended above the tree
tops and took up into the clouds. We continued to watch
as many as 20-plus sparkling, amber colored lights appear
through the clouds exactly where the craft had disappeared.
We watched in awe until all the smaller, twinkling lights
disappeared.
