1 00:00:06,889 --> 00:00:04,670 hello it's Tuesday July 11 2017 you are 2 00:00:09,770 --> 00:00:06,899 listening to inception Radio Network 3 00:00:14,810 --> 00:00:09,780 voice of the fringe majority this is 4 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:14,820 Carol Karl with UFO headline news every 5 00:00:19,670 --> 00:00:16,770 so often as we bring you information 6 00:00:22,340 --> 00:00:19,680 from earth sky dot-org to start our 7 00:00:23,990 --> 00:00:22,350 broadcast here at UFO headline news we 8 00:00:25,130 --> 00:00:24,000 think about the folks who would put this 9 00:00:27,890 --> 00:00:25,140 all together 10 00:00:31,460 --> 00:00:27,900 well it's Deborah bird time here's her 11 00:00:35,770 --> 00:00:31,470 bio she created earth sky radio series 12 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:35,780 back in 1991 and earth sky dot-org in 13 00:00:39,470 --> 00:00:37,050 1994 14 00:00:42,229 --> 00:00:39,480 today she serves as editor-in-chief of 15 00:00:44,180 --> 00:00:42,239 this website she's won a galaxy of 16 00:00:46,639 --> 00:00:44,190 awards from the broadcasting and science 17 00:00:50,779 --> 00:00:46,649 communities including having an asteroid 18 00:00:54,740 --> 00:00:50,789 named three 5:05 bird she spells that be 19 00:00:56,860 --> 00:00:54,750 y r-d in her honor how cool is that 20 00:01:00,500 --> 00:00:56,870 a science commentator and educator since 21 00:01:02,990 --> 00:01:00,510 1976 Deborah bird believes in science as 22 00:01:05,719 --> 00:01:03,000 a force for good in the world and a 23 00:01:08,330 --> 00:01:05,729 vital tool for the 21st century quote 24 00:01:10,789 --> 00:01:08,340 being an earth sky editor is like 25 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:10,799 hosting a big global party for cool 26 00:01:16,190 --> 00:01:14,250 nature lovers and quotes she says so 27 00:01:19,399 --> 00:01:16,200 here's what she says about tonight's sky 28 00:01:22,399 --> 00:01:19,409 oh it's those handy dandy ways to find 29 00:01:24,380 --> 00:01:22,409 the Big Dipper and the North Star again 30 00:01:26,749 --> 00:01:24,390 it goes something like this 31 00:01:28,969 --> 00:01:26,759 you can use the Big Dipper which is in 32 00:01:31,940 --> 00:01:28,979 the constellation Ursa Major the Great 33 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:31,950 Bear to find the skies northern pole 34 00:01:37,130 --> 00:01:34,770 star Polaris this is the star around 35 00:01:39,410 --> 00:01:37,140 which the whole northern celestial 36 00:01:41,569 --> 00:01:39,420 sphere appears to turn throughout the 37 00:01:43,789 --> 00:01:41,579 night that's because this star is 38 00:01:47,149 --> 00:01:43,799 located nearly above Earth's northern 39 00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:47,159 axis in times past Wanderers on the 40 00:01:52,130 --> 00:01:49,200 northern face of Earth used Polaris to 41 00:01:54,859 --> 00:01:52,140 stay on course once you find it you can 42 00:01:58,700 --> 00:01:54,869 also look for tubing or Ubben it's 43 00:02:01,760 --> 00:01:58,710 spelled th uban it's that famous star in 44 00:02:04,999 --> 00:02:01,770 the constellation Draco the dragon so 45 00:02:08,059 --> 00:02:05,009 how do you find Polaris again well 46 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:08,069 simply draw that imaginary line through 47 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:10,770 the big dipper's pointer stars the guys 48 00:02:14,990 --> 00:02:13,050 named Dube and 49 00:02:17,270 --> 00:02:15,000 that line will point to Polaris the 50 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:17,280 North Star you can use this trick to 51 00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:19,890 find Polaris any evening no matter how 52 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:22,650 the dipper is oriented with respect to 53 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:26,250 your northern horizon okay now once 54 00:02:31,490 --> 00:02:29,250 you've got Polaris if your sky is dark 55 00:02:34,250 --> 00:02:31,500 enough you might be able to see the 56 00:02:35,420 --> 00:02:34,260 Little Dipper asterism it's harder to 57 00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:35,430 spot than the Big Dipper 58 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:37,710 it needs a dark sky if you're going to 59 00:02:42,410 --> 00:02:40,170 see it there's a chart to tell you how 60 00:02:46,010 --> 00:02:42,420 to do these things you can find that 61 00:02:48,230 --> 00:02:46,020 chart later at UFO headline news calm in 62 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:48,240 other words the Big Dipper the Little 63 00:02:52,940 --> 00:02:50,730 Dipper the star Polaris the Little 64 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:52,950 Dipper isn't the entire constellation 65 00:02:58,790 --> 00:02:55,770 it's just a noticeable pattern within 66 00:03:00,260 --> 00:02:58,800 the constellation are some minor the 67 00:03:03,670 --> 00:03:00,270 smaller bear 68 00:03:07,550 --> 00:03:03,680 yikes bears and little dippers and 69 00:03:09,260 --> 00:03:07,560 asterisms oh my Polaris isn't the 70 00:03:12,140 --> 00:03:09,270 brightest star in the sky as it's 71 00:03:14,870 --> 00:03:12,150 commonly supposed it's only the fiftieth 72 00:03:17,300 --> 00:03:14,880 brightest torso still Polaris is bright 73 00:03:20,990 --> 00:03:17,310 enough to be seen with relative ease on 74 00:03:24,170 --> 00:03:21,000 a dark clear night now back to Toobin t 75 00:03:26,330 --> 00:03:24,180 hu ba and we're just gonna call it Tobin 76 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:26,340 and its constellation Draco the dragon 77 00:03:32,150 --> 00:03:30,210 as night deepens the fainter stars of 78 00:03:34,250 --> 00:03:32,160 the Little Dipper spring into view and 79 00:03:37,190 --> 00:03:34,260 those of you with dark enough skies can 80 00:03:39,740 --> 00:03:37,200 expect to see a winding stream of stars 81 00:03:42,770 --> 00:03:39,750 going between the Big Dipper and Little 82 00:03:45,740 --> 00:03:42,780 Dipper this winding stream that would be 83 00:03:48,260 --> 00:03:45,750 your constellation Draco the star Thuban 84 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:48,270 is one of the stars here part of the 85 00:03:52,790 --> 00:03:50,610 tale of the legendary constellation 86 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:52,800 Draco the dragon a fixture of the 87 00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:55,770 northern skies Debra Burt always finds 88 00:03:59,720 --> 00:03:58,170 Toobin by remembering that it's between 89 00:04:03,710 --> 00:03:59,730 the big and the little 90 00:04:07,990 --> 00:04:03,720 dippers Toobin has fame it served as a 91 00:04:10,430 --> 00:04:08,000 pole star around 3000 BC and this date 92 00:04:13,430 --> 00:04:10,440 coincides with the beginning of the 93 00:04:15,740 --> 00:04:13,440 building of the pyramids in Egypt it is 94 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:15,750 said that the descending passage of the 95 00:04:22,159 --> 00:04:18,690 Great Pyramid of Khufu at Giza was built 96 00:04:26,170 --> 00:04:22,169 to point directly at Toobin so our 97 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:26,180 ancestors knew and celebrated this star 98 00:04:31,330 --> 00:04:28,970 so here's the bottom line draw an 99 00:04:33,670 --> 00:04:31,340 imaginary line through the Big Dipper 100 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:33,680 pointer stars you'll find Polaris the 101 00:04:39,790 --> 00:04:36,530 North Star if your sky is dark enough 102 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:39,800 look for Toobin in the tail of Draco the 103 00:04:44,790 --> 00:04:41,570 dragon good luck 104 00:04:48,550 --> 00:04:44,800 how long is the tail of Draco the dragon 105 00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:48,560 no here's one how long is a day on the 106 00:04:54,730 --> 00:04:52,310 moon the universe today.com answers that 107 00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:54,740 for us it's an article written by Matt 108 00:05:02,170 --> 00:04:58,250 Williams and the headline reads how long 109 00:05:04,090 --> 00:05:02,180 is a day on the moon the moon has been 110 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:04,100 around since the earliest days of the 111 00:05:09,159 --> 00:05:06,530 solar system to human beings there's 112 00:05:11,650 --> 00:05:09,169 never been a time when we couldn't look 113 00:05:14,350 --> 00:05:11,660 up in the night sky and either see the 114 00:05:17,230 --> 00:05:14,360 moon hanging there or know that it would 115 00:05:19,689 --> 00:05:17,240 be back the very next night an example 116 00:05:21,490 --> 00:05:19,699 the new moon and thanks to the 117 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:21,500 development of modern astronomy and 118 00:05:26,589 --> 00:05:24,050 space exploration our understanding of 119 00:05:28,930 --> 00:05:26,599 the moon has grown immensely for 120 00:05:31,779 --> 00:05:28,940 instance we know that the moon formed 121 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:31,789 early in Earth's history and that it may 122 00:05:36,370 --> 00:05:33,410 have played an important role in the 123 00:05:37,779 --> 00:05:36,380 development of life here on earth we 124 00:05:40,150 --> 00:05:37,789 also have learned that the moon is 125 00:05:42,460 --> 00:05:40,160 tidally locked with earth which means 126 00:05:46,510 --> 00:05:42,470 that one side is constantly facing 127 00:05:49,060 --> 00:05:46,520 towards it but how long is a day on the 128 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:49,070 moon with one side facing the earth and 129 00:05:55,270 --> 00:05:52,090 the other side facing out what 130 00:05:58,960 --> 00:05:55,280 constitutes a single day on the lunar 131 00:06:02,620 --> 00:05:58,970 surface to break it down simply a day on 132 00:06:06,490 --> 00:06:02,630 the moon lasts as long as 29.5 earth 133 00:06:09,089 --> 00:06:06,500 days in other words if you were standing 134 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:09,099 on the surface of the Moon it would take 135 00:06:15,550 --> 00:06:13,130 29.5 days for the Sun to move all the 136 00:06:19,450 --> 00:06:15,560 way across the sky and return to its 137 00:06:21,450 --> 00:06:19,460 original position again however as with 138 00:06:23,350 --> 00:06:21,460 all bodies in the solar system 139 00:06:25,990 --> 00:06:23,360 distinguishing between different types 140 00:06:30,149 --> 00:06:26,000 of days based on different types of 141 00:06:33,070 --> 00:06:30,159 periods is necessary since ancient times 142 00:06:36,129 --> 00:06:33,080 lunar calendars have been based on 13 143 00:06:37,149 --> 00:06:36,139 months of 28 days each reflecting the 144 00:06:39,999 --> 00:06:37,159 lunar cycle 145 00:06:41,769 --> 00:06:40,009 but as astronomers have discovered from 146 00:06:44,950 --> 00:06:41,779 centuries of studying the moon's 147 00:06:47,109 --> 00:06:44,960 behavior the moon's orbital period in 148 00:06:49,510 --> 00:06:47,119 other words the time it takes for the 149 00:06:52,450 --> 00:06:49,520 moon to complete a single orbit around 150 00:06:57,939 --> 00:06:52,460 planet Earth is actually the equivalent 151 00:07:00,760 --> 00:06:57,949 of about 27.3 Earth days or 27 days 7 152 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:00,770 hours and 43 minutes oh and don't forget 153 00:07:06,549 --> 00:07:03,289 those eleven point five seconds to be 154 00:07:09,339 --> 00:07:06,559 precise and while the moon rotates on 155 00:07:12,129 --> 00:07:09,349 its own axis the speed at which it 156 00:07:16,420 --> 00:07:12,139 rotates in other words its sidereal 157 00:07:20,079 --> 00:07:16,430 rotation is very slow in fact it takes 158 00:07:23,110 --> 00:07:20,089 the moon the equivalent of 27.3 Earth 159 00:07:25,540 --> 00:07:23,120 days to complete a single rotation on 160 00:07:27,579 --> 00:07:25,550 its axis the same amount of time it 161 00:07:31,749 --> 00:07:27,589 takes to complete a single orbit around 162 00:07:36,189 --> 00:07:31,759 Earth what this means is the moon is 163 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:36,199 tidally locked with earth in more other 164 00:07:41,589 --> 00:07:39,050 words the moon always points the same 165 00:07:43,689 --> 00:07:41,599 face towards the earth which is why 166 00:07:46,689 --> 00:07:43,699 human beings are so familiar with that 167 00:07:49,570 --> 00:07:46,699 face of the moon and refer to the side 168 00:07:52,629 --> 00:07:49,580 that faces away from us as the dark side 169 00:07:54,309 --> 00:07:52,639 and therefore if you were standing on 170 00:07:56,860 --> 00:07:54,319 the surface of the Moon you would always 171 00:07:59,409 --> 00:07:56,870 see the earth in exactly the same 172 00:08:01,540 --> 00:07:59,419 position while the Stars and the Sun 173 00:08:05,309 --> 00:08:01,550 would continue to move around in the sky 174 00:08:08,259 --> 00:08:05,319 and here comes that however the moon's 175 00:08:11,889 --> 00:08:08,269 sidereal rotation is not where we get 176 00:08:14,139 --> 00:08:11,899 the value of a single lunar day while it 177 00:08:16,839 --> 00:08:14,149 takes twenty seven point three days for 178 00:08:19,179 --> 00:08:16,849 it to orbit the earth we must keep in 179 00:08:22,149 --> 00:08:19,189 mind that the earth is also orbiting the 180 00:08:27,009 --> 00:08:22,159 Sun the earth returns to its same 181 00:08:29,199 --> 00:08:27,019 position in orbit every 365 days so in 182 00:08:31,959 --> 00:08:29,209 order for the Sun to catch up to its 183 00:08:35,189 --> 00:08:31,969 position in the sky from the perspective 184 00:08:38,949 --> 00:08:35,199 of the moon it has to turn a little more 185 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:38,959 the extra two point two days is the time 186 00:08:44,590 --> 00:08:41,930 it takes for the moon to catch up in its 187 00:08:46,750 --> 00:08:44,600 rotation and while the amount of time 188 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:46,760 the moon takes to complete one turn on 189 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:49,610 its axis with respect to the Stars is 190 00:08:55,230 --> 00:08:51,970 twenty seven point three days 191 00:08:57,059 --> 00:08:55,240 that constitutes a sidereal the day the 192 00:08:59,340 --> 00:08:57,069 amount of time it takes for the Sun to 193 00:09:03,030 --> 00:08:59,350 return to that same position in the sky 194 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:03,040 is something called a sonata k-- de sy n 195 00:09:09,749 --> 00:09:06,490 o di c is how that spelled and that's 196 00:09:11,009 --> 00:09:09,759 what takes twenty nine point five days 197 00:09:14,879 --> 00:09:11,019 whew 198 00:09:17,699 --> 00:09:14,889 again no tests no pop quizzes here we 199 00:09:19,740 --> 00:09:17,709 absolutely stand by that but it's 200 00:09:24,119 --> 00:09:19,750 interesting information to sort of get a 201 00:09:27,269 --> 00:09:24,129 scan a sense of we think and as the 202 00:09:30,119 --> 00:09:27,279 writer continues Matt Williams says ergo 203 00:09:32,220 --> 00:09:30,129 a single day on the moon with respect to 204 00:09:34,710 --> 00:09:32,230 the Sun returning to the same position 205 00:09:39,540 --> 00:09:34,720 in the sky it's actually about as long 206 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:39,550 as an average month here on earth so if 207 00:09:43,259 --> 00:09:41,170 people are planning on living there 208 00:09:45,540 --> 00:09:43,269 someday and they aren't living in the 209 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:45,550 permanently shadowed craters that exists 210 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:47,050 in the southern and northern polar 211 00:09:53,189 --> 00:09:49,930 regions that's something they might have 212 00:09:55,139 --> 00:09:53,199 to get used to as with all the bodies of 213 00:09:58,439 --> 00:09:55,149 the solar system it comes down to a 214 00:10:00,780 --> 00:09:58,449 matter of perspective and if you're 215 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:00,790 living on the moon your perspective on 216 00:10:05,579 --> 00:10:03,490 what constitutes a day will be vastly 217 00:10:09,329 --> 00:10:05,589 different from that of a person who was 218 00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:09,339 born on earth hmm we can only ponder 219 00:10:16,290 --> 00:10:11,529 what that's going to do to circadian 220 00:10:19,530 --> 00:10:16,300 rhythms etc let's get in the rhythm of a 221 00:10:22,710 --> 00:10:19,540 UFO sighting in Sequoia National Park in 222 00:10:25,350 --> 00:10:22,720 the golden state of California shall we 223 00:10:28,710 --> 00:10:25,360 this comes to us by way of UFO stalker 224 00:10:31,439 --> 00:10:28,720 calm its MUFON case number eight for 225 00:10:34,740 --> 00:10:31,449 eight nine eight the date of this 226 00:10:37,889 --> 00:10:34,750 sighting is July 6th 2017 it was 227 00:10:40,889 --> 00:10:37,899 submitted for examination etc on the 228 00:10:42,449 --> 00:10:40,899 seventh of July in the same year under 229 00:10:45,749 --> 00:10:42,459 sighting basics here's the summary 230 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:45,759 provided by the witness three white 231 00:10:53,429 --> 00:10:49,050 lights triangle formation hovering 232 00:10:56,970 --> 00:10:53,439 ascending over california highway 198 in 233 00:11:00,809 --> 00:10:56,980 Sequoia National Park citing specifics 234 00:11:03,689 --> 00:11:00,819 provide a viewing distance 101 feet to 235 00:11:05,700 --> 00:11:03,699 500 feet eventually an altitude 236 00:11:07,590 --> 00:11:05,710 described as treetop 237 00:11:10,470 --> 00:11:07,600 the sighting duration was two minutes 238 00:11:14,100 --> 00:11:10,480 the object features are carrying that 239 00:11:16,710 --> 00:11:14,110 report unknown the flight path hovering 240 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:16,720 and then path and according to the 241 00:11:21,540 --> 00:11:18,730 witness this object was shaped like a 242 00:11:23,340 --> 00:11:21,550 sphere there's no weather listed so 243 00:11:25,949 --> 00:11:23,350 we're guessing the weather was not 244 00:11:28,980 --> 00:11:25,959 particularly impactful to this event 245 00:11:32,730 --> 00:11:28,990 here is the event rough unedited 246 00:11:34,290 --> 00:11:32,740 first-person words of the witness I was 247 00:11:37,230 --> 00:11:34,300 in the car with my girlfriend when 248 00:11:39,780 --> 00:11:37,240 scanning the road for hazards and pretty 249 00:11:42,870 --> 00:11:39,790 views upon our exit from Sequoia 250 00:11:45,389 --> 00:11:42,880 National Park I was leaning forward 251 00:11:47,790 --> 00:11:45,399 looking at the treetops which were about 252 00:11:49,949 --> 00:11:47,800 200 feet off the ground when the road 253 00:11:53,670 --> 00:11:49,959 straightened out from its previously 254 00:11:56,519 --> 00:11:53,680 curvy path immediately I saw three white 255 00:11:58,590 --> 00:11:56,529 lights in the air they were roughly at 256 00:12:01,829 --> 00:11:58,600 my elevation due to the fact that we 257 00:12:03,570 --> 00:12:01,839 were coming from up hill my girlfriend 258 00:12:05,970 --> 00:12:03,580 was on the phone talking to her sister 259 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:05,980 at the time I cut her off I exclaimed 260 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:08,250 look at that look at it right now I 261 00:12:13,470 --> 00:12:11,290 continued to force her to look at it so 262 00:12:16,110 --> 00:12:13,480 that I wouldn't be the only witness I am 263 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:16,120 convinced that other cars that had been 264 00:12:22,470 --> 00:12:18,850 in front of me and behind me saw this as 265 00:12:24,780 --> 00:12:22,480 well this object was hovering just above 266 00:12:28,590 --> 00:12:24,790 the treetops a short distance to the 267 00:12:31,829 --> 00:12:28,600 south of highway 198 it was a slow 268 00:12:34,829 --> 00:12:31,839 aircraft speed visually I estimate it to 269 00:12:38,010 --> 00:12:34,839 be about 80 miles per hour these three 270 00:12:41,730 --> 00:12:38,020 lights were in a triangle shape on a 271 00:12:43,860 --> 00:12:41,740 shadow the shadow looked circular I'm 272 00:12:47,490 --> 00:12:43,870 unsure of the shape of this craft as the 273 00:12:49,860 --> 00:12:47,500 middle lights rotated about the x-axis 274 00:12:52,380 --> 00:12:49,870 of the shape while the two outer lights 275 00:12:55,110 --> 00:12:52,390 stay put the individual lights were 276 00:12:57,420 --> 00:12:55,120 circular they were bright white this 277 00:12:59,519 --> 00:12:57,430 craft rotated to face the general 278 00:13:02,670 --> 00:12:59,529 direction of the road all the while it 279 00:13:05,790 --> 00:13:02,680 continued moving higher and further away 280 00:13:08,610 --> 00:13:05,800 from where we first saw it my girlfriend 281 00:13:11,610 --> 00:13:08,620 is in agreement with what I saw both of 282 00:13:14,819 --> 00:13:11,620 us are mentally healthy I'm sure this 283 00:13:17,370 --> 00:13:14,829 was not a civilian or military aircraft 284 00:13:18,350 --> 00:13:17,380 it did not have any of those distinct 285 00:13:21,530 --> 00:13:18,360 light patterns 286 00:13:23,449 --> 00:13:21,540 a company such aircraft I'm sure that we 287 00:13:25,190 --> 00:13:23,459 did not just witness the aircraft from 288 00:13:28,250 --> 00:13:25,200 an angle at which it would be 289 00:13:31,460 --> 00:13:28,260 unrecognizable my father is a pilot I 290 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:31,470 have flown planes myself since age 10 291 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:33,810 under my father's instruction and I've 292 00:13:36,740 --> 00:13:35,970 lived near a military airbase since I 293 00:13:39,500 --> 00:13:36,750 was born 294 00:13:41,900 --> 00:13:39,510 living near that airbase has exposed me 295 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:41,910 to aircraft every day for as long as 296 00:13:46,460 --> 00:13:44,130 I've lived I can recognize which 297 00:13:48,650 --> 00:13:46,470 aircraft is what simply by its 298 00:13:51,130 --> 00:13:48,660 silhouette its lights its flight 299 00:13:54,259 --> 00:13:51,140 patterns my experience with this object 300 00:13:57,019 --> 00:13:54,269 lasted approximately two minutes this is 301 00:13:59,600 --> 00:13:57,029 perhaps an estimate as my adrenaline and 302 00:14:03,889 --> 00:13:59,610 fear were rushing through me while I 303 00:14:06,319 --> 00:14:03,899 left the location fascinating our 304 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:06,329 reporting witness knows what's

here very interesting we can only 308 00:14:20,329 --> 00:14:16,860 wonder whether or not the girlfriend 309 00:14:23,060 --> 00:14:20,339 felt that same sentiment but we're off 310 00:14:26,389 --> 00:14:23,070 already we're hovering over Scottsdale 311 00:14:29,689 --> 00:14:26,399 Arizona where MUFON case number 8 for 8 312 00:14:32,660 --> 00:14:29,699 to 9 took place this happened on the 4th

00:15:46,790 ultimately other the object shape flash 342 00:15:53,090 --> 00:15:49,770 here are the words of our witness 343 00:15:55,550 --> 00:15:53,100 I was driving north on 64th Street ad 344 00:15:58,490 --> 00:15:55,560 cactus and I noticed what appeared to be 345 00:15:59,900 --> 00:15:58,500 fireworks in the distance at about one 346 00:16:02,540 --> 00:15:59,910 o'clock due north 347 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:02,550 I thought this was the princess hotels 348 00:16:07,070 --> 00:16:05,010 fireworks display so I kept heading 349 00:16:09,950 --> 00:16:07,080 north it didn't occur to me that the 350 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:09,960 princess hotel was not directly in front 351 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:12,930 of me but off to my right at about two 352 00:16:19,910 --> 00:16:16,970 o'clock I watched as this ball firework 353 00:16:22,970 --> 00:16:19,920 hovered in the air it was a solid 354 00:16:25,370 --> 00:16:22,980 pill-shaped light as I got closer to it 355 00:16:27,980 --> 00:16:25,380 crossing thunderbird road about a minute 356 00:16:30,620 --> 00:16:27,990 later i noticed that this object was 357 00:16:34,130 --> 00:16:30,630 dripping what appeared to be molten 358 00:16:38,450 --> 00:16:34,140 metal this metal was falling off the 359 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:38,460 object at a large rate I kept driving to 360 00:16:42,650 --> 00:16:40,770 see if I could get under it I called a 361 00:16:45,740 --> 00:16:42,660 friend in the area twice to see if he 362 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:45,750 saw it but he didn't answer I tried to 363 00:16:50,030 --> 00:16:47,850 pull over and get a picture but the 364 00:16:52,850 --> 00:16:50,040 objects were not bright enough through 365 00:16:55,100 --> 00:16:52,860 my windshield and headlights I thought 366 00:16:58,010 --> 00:16:55,110 it could be a drone with a sparkler but 367 00:17:01,400 --> 00:16:58,020 I couldn't get close enough and whatever 368 00:17:04,610 --> 00:17:01,410 this was it was seen over two miles away 369 00:17:06,860 --> 00:17:04,620 it was that bright as I got through the 370 00:17:09,290 --> 00:17:06,870 Thunderbird stoplight the princess 371 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:09,300 fireworks show came into view through 372 00:17:16,010 --> 00:17:11,850 the trees they were on the horizon at 373 00:17:19,340 --> 00:17:16,020 about 2:30 the drone lights whatever it 374 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:19,350 was fizzled out and immediately a second 375 00:17:25,730 --> 00:17:22,170 one lit up about five degrees below the 376 00:17:28,610 --> 00:17:25,740 first this time the molten area was 377 00:17:32,450 --> 00:17:28,620 facing to the west when the first one 378 00:17:34,850 --> 00:17:32,460 came on again a third one lit up below 379 00:17:38,060 --> 00:17:34,860 the second and these molten parts were 380 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:38,070 facing west east west dropping down 381 00:17:42,020 --> 00:17:40,290 about five times the distance of the 382 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:42,030 heights of the object 383 00:17:46,130 --> 00:17:44,850 I approached a Safeway store on Greenway 384 00:17:48,650 --> 00:17:46,140 in 64th Street 385 00:17:51,980 --> 00:17:48,660 all three of these lights went out 386 00:17:54,470 --> 00:17:51,990 simultaneously if there are fireworks 387 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:54,480 that hover that high in the sky I'd love 388 00:18:00,580 --> 00:17:56,970 to know where to buy them we can't have 389 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:00,590 aerial fireworks in Arizona by the way I 390 00:18:03,830 --> 00:18:02,850 wanted to report this while it was still 391 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:03,840 fresh in my mind 392 00:18:09,410 --> 00:18:06,330 so the details wouldn't be lost I'm 393 00:18:12,230 --> 00:18:09,420 available to answer questions any time 394 00:18:14,930 -->

eight five zero two 406 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:43,470 four 407 00:18:49,250 --> 00:18:46,170 it's another sighting carrying the date 408 00:18:52,070 --> 00:18:49,260 of the 4th of July 2017 it wasn't 409 00:18:55,130 --> 00:18:52,080 reported till the 10th of July here's 410 00:18:58,100 --> 00:18:55,140 the summary observed bright orange solid 411 00:19:02,600 --> 00:18:58,110 light traveling south slowed down 412 00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:02,610 hovered then regained speed there is a 413 00:19:07,490 --> 00:19:05,130 photograph and video submitted with this 414 00:19:10,550 --> 00:19:07,500 account check it out gentle listeners 415 00:19:13,310 --> 00:19:10,560 it's rather stunning hard to explain so 416 00:19:14,870 --> 00:19:13,320 we won't the sighting specifics provided 417 00:19:18,500 --> 00:19:14,880 by our witness include a viewing 418 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:18,510 distance of 501 feet to one mile the 419 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:21,450 altitude unknown the sighting duration 420 00:19:27,380 --> 00:19:24,210 was two minutes the object features are 421 00:19:30,380 --> 00:19:27,390 reported as unknown the flight path was 422 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:30,390 a path with directional change and this 423 00:19:35,810 --> 00:19:32,610 object is reported to have been shaped 424 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:35,820 like a sphere there's a bit of weather 425 00:19:40,910 --> 00:19:38,490 the maximum temperature over Chicago 426 00:19:44,180 --> 00:19:40,920 Illinois at the time was 83 degrees 427 00:19:46,730 --> 00:19:44,190 Fahrenheit 28 degrees Celsius down to a 428 00:19:50,090 --> 00:19:46,740 minimum temperature of 64 degrees 429 00:19:52,130 --> 00:19:50,100 Fahrenheit 18 degrees Celsius the 430 00:19:55,190 --> 00:19:52,140 maximum visibility was 10 miles 16 431 00:19:58,730 --> 00:19:55,200 kilometers down to a minimum of nine 432 00:20:00,740 --> 00:19:58,740 miles 14 kilometers and at the 433 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:00,750 time of this curious occurrence there 434 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:03,530 was nothing abnormal about the weather 435 00:20:09,290 --> 00:20:07,170 here's what happened I had just arrived 436 00:20:14,510 --> 00:20:09,300 home from work in front of my house it 437 00:20:17,150 --> 00:20:14,520 was about 12:45 a.m. July 4th 2017 I was 438 00:20:19,730 --> 00:20:17,160 carrying a suit bag and case in my hands 439 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:19,740 as I walked from my car toward my house 440 00:20:25,669 --> 00:20:22,410 I suddenly saw what I first thought to 441 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:25,679 be an airplane flying south it appeared 442 00:20:29,810 --> 00:20:28,170 from behind the neighbors roof and it 443 00:20:32,630 --> 00:20:29,820 looked to be about the distance of 444 00:20:35,060 --> 00:20:32,640 possibly two to six blocks west of me I 445 00:20:38,330 --> 00:20:35,070 didn't know how exactly to estimate the 446 00:20:42,049 --> 00:20:38,340 altitude immediately I noticed something 447 00:20:45,049 --> 00:20:42,059 strange this object had no blinking 448 00:20:48,049 --> 00:20:45,059 lights it only had a bright orange glow 449 00:20:51,470 --> 00:20:48,059 to it that never changed intensity or 450 00:20:52,940 --> 00:20:51,480 color and the light looked spherical it 451 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:52,950 made no sound 452 00:20:57,470 --> 00:20:55,650 I dropped my suit bag in case on the 453 00:20:59,900 --> 00:20:57,480 sidewalk and turned back to my car to 454 00:21:02,690 --> 00:20:59,910 grab my eyeglasses which were on the 455 00:21:05,810 --> 00:21:02,700 same passenger seat I closed the car 456 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:05,820 door and put my glasses on the object 457 00:21:10,669 --> 00:21:07,770 was on the same flight path in a 458 00:21:14,210 --> 00:21:10,679 straight line going south but by this 459 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:14,220 time it had slowed down it didn't lose 460 00:21:21,710 --> 00:21:16,890 altitude it didn't move up or down 461 00:21:24,799 --> 00:21:21,720 they just slowed almost to a hover but 462 00:21:26,870 --> 00:21:24,809 then it slowly regained speed again and 463 00:21:30,500 --> 00:21:26,880 continued in a perfectly straight line 464 00:21:32,870 --> 00:21:30,510 south I had snapped a photo with my cell 465 00:21:34,990 --> 00:21:32,880 phone and then I proceeded to turn on 466 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:35,000 the video camera on the phone I 467 00:21:39,860 --> 00:21:37,410 continued to photograph this object for 468 00:21:41,990 --> 00:21:39,870 about another half a minute at that 469 00:21:45,799 --> 00:21:42,000 point it seemed to make a right angle 470 00:21:48,260 --> 00:21:45,809 turn west and move due west as it 471 00:21:51,890 --> 00:21:48,270 continued west it faded out within 15 472 00:21:52,990 --> 00:21:51,900 seconds and I simply couldn't see it 473 00:21:56,090 --> 00:21:53,000 anymore 474 00:21:59,660 --> 00:21:56,100 it sounds perhaps more like something 475 00:22:02,630 --> 00:21:59,670 drone like than fireworks the turning 476 00:22:05,510 --> 00:22:02,640 the slowing down of the date of course 477 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:05,520 is the 4th of July so we're going to 478 00:22:11,299 --> 00:22:08,730 have to leave that as an unknown let's 479 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:11,309 head off to the East Coast now to the 480 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:12,330 state of mass 481 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:15,210 Shusett city of Medford that's where 482 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:17,490 MUFON Case number eight five zero to 483 00:22:23,510 --> 00:22:20,970 five took place it took a while for this 484 00:22:26,900 --> 00:22:23,520 case to get a report it happened June 485 00:22:30,260 --> 00:22:26,910 11th 2017 and it wasn't reported till 486 00:22:32,780 --> 00:22:30,270 just about a month later here's what the 487 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:32,790 witness says in summary noticed an 488 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:36,210 object too bright to be star changed 489 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:39,810 shapes as I arrived home late in the 490 00:22:45,230 --> 00:22:43,170 evening there are photos accompanying 491 00:22:48,230 --> 00:22:45,240 this report as well and you can do your 492 00:22:51,620 --> 00:22:48,240 own analysis of these later at UFO 493 00:22:54,710 --> 00:22:51,630 headline news comm citing specifics 494 00:22:57,950 --> 00:22:54,720 offer a viewing distance unknown the 495 00:23:00,230 --> 00:22:57,960 altitude over five hundred feet no there 496 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:00,240 wasn't any cloud cover that night over 497 00:23:05,390 --> 00:23:02,850 Medford Massachusetts the sighting 498 00:23:07,550 --> 00:23:05,400 duration was 15 minutes the object 499 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:07,560 features are described as other the 500 00:23:13,970 --> 00:23:10,530 flight path was stationary hovering and 501 00:23:16,820 --> 00:23:13,980 then path and then a path and then more 502 00:23:20,540 --> 00:23:16,830 hovering and this object was shaped like 503 00:23:22,820 --> 00:23:20,550 a sphere it was hot over Medford 504 00:23:26,180 --> 00:23:22,830 Massachusetts that day maximum 505 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:26,190 temperature 92 degrees Fahrenheit 33 506 00:23:31,850 --> 00:23:28,770 degrees Celsius dropping down to a more 507 00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:31,860 comfy minimum temperature of 66 degrees 508 00:23:37,430 --> 00:23:35,370 Fahrenheit 19 degrees Celsius all of the 509 00:23:41,330 --> 00:23:37,440 visibility factors were the same that 510 00:23:43,990 --> 00:23:41,340 standard 10 miles 16 kilometers and this 511 00:23:46,850 --> 00:23:44,000 event had nothing abnormal 512 00:23:49,190 --> 00:23:46,860 meteorological II here is the event 513 00:23:49,790 --> 00:23:49,200 itself in the first person words of our 514 00:23:52,460 --> 00:23:49,800 witness 515 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:52,470 I left my friend's house in Tewksbury 516 00:23:57,380 --> 00:23:55,170 Massachusetts around 11:35 p.m. I 517 00:24:01,040 --> 00:23:57,390 arrived home and parked in the driveway 518 00:24:03,470 --> 00:24:01,050 just past 12:00 midnight as I got out of 519 00:24:06,020 --> 00:24:03,480 my vehicle I happened to look up and 520 00:24:07,300 --> 00:24:06,030 take notice of a nearly full moon and 521 00:24:10,130 --> 00:24:07,310 its brightness 522 00:24:14,270 --> 00:24:10,140 immediately I noticed at first a blue 523 00:24:17,510 --> 00:24:14,280 blurry object just below the moon it was 524 00:24:20,210 --> 00:24:17,520 hovering and then it moved its motion 525 00:24:23,030 --> 00:24:20,220 went from left to right but it stayed 526 00:24:23,450 --> 00:24:23,040 within the vicinity of the direction of 527 00:24:34,159 --> 00:24:23,460 the 528 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:34,169 than a star so I put on my glasses for 529 00:24:39,919 --> 00:24:36,330 distance and began taking cell phone 530 00:24:43,130 --> 00:24:39,929 pictures Izu in and out to try to give 531 00:24:46,190 --> 00:24:43,140 this thing scale as I began taking the 532 00:24:48,549 --> 00:24:46,200 pictures my observation was that the 533 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:48,559 object was going through a blurry 534 00:24:54,710 --> 00:24:51,770 transformation of shape and color and 535 00:24:56,810 --> 00:24:54,720 while I could not be certain what was 536 00:24:58,880 --> 00:24:56,820 taking place I was positive that 537 00:25:01,669 --> 00:24:58,890 whatever this was it had to be 538 00:25:04,730 --> 00:25:01,679 significant in size because the distance 539 00:25:08,090 --> 00:25:04,740 looked many miles away and high above 540 00:25:10,130 --> 00:25:08,100 the horizon up in the sky after 10 541 00:25:12,500 --> 00:25:10,140 minutes I went into the house to get my 542 00:25:14,510 --> 00:25:12,510 roommate to take a look at this and when 543 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:14,520 we went back outside it had disappeared 544 00:25:20,750 --> 00:25:17,850 from view there was no opportunity to 545 00:25:24,019 --> 00:25:20,760 witness this as it left the vicinity 546 00:25:26,090 --> 00:25:24,029 where I had originally seen it I went 547 00:25:29,060 --> 00:25:26,100 into the house I downloaded the pictures 548 00:25:31,490 --> 00:25:29,070 onto my computer to verify what I might 549 00:25:34,820 --> 00:25:31,500 have taken pictures of and I was 550 00:25:38,779 --> 00:25:34,830 astounded at the change that took place 551 00:25:41,180 --> 00:25:38,789 before my eyes knowing that I had taken 552 00:25:44,180 --> 00:25:41,190 all of these pictures in under a minute 553 00:25:46,279 --> 00:25:44,190 at one point it looked a cylindrical and 554 00:25:49,909 --> 00:25:46,289 then it changed again into an unknown 555 00:25:53,149 --> 00:25:49,919 shape as it hovered it made no sound at 556 00:25:55,789 --> 00:25:53,159 the time I observed it to note all of 557 00:25:58,490 --> 00:25:55,799 the stars in the sky were faint and they 558 00:26:01,100 --> 00:25:58,500 didn't even show up in any of the photos 559 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:01,110 from what I can tell so I have no idea 560 00:26:09,590 --> 00:26:04,890 exactly what this was other than by 561 00:26:13,810 --> 00:26:09,600 definition a UFO oh yeah 562 00:26:14,930 --> 00:26:13,820 it was an unidentified flying object 563 00:26:17,450 --> 00:26:14,940 specifics 564 00:26:20,690 --> 00:26:17,460 well those will have to wait for another 565 00:26:24,139 --> 00:26:20,700 time our time for today has vanished got 566 00:26:26,269 --> 00:26:24,149 a fly because that's a wrap thank you 567 00:26:29,210 --> 00:26:26,279 for listening to
