1 00:00:07,030 --> 00:00:04,309 it's friday july 28 2017. you are 2 00:00:09,430 --> 00:00:07,040 listening to inception radio network 3 00:00:13,830 --> 00:00:09,440 voice of the fringe majority this is 4 00:00:16,390 --> 00:00:13,840 carol carl with ufo headline news 5 00:00:19,349 --> 00:00:16,400 so what have we got to look at in the 6 00:00:21,750 --> 00:00:19,359 sky tonight well there certainly are the 7 00:00:24,470 --> 00:00:21,760 delta aquarids they're still going on 8 00:00:27,910 --> 00:00:24,480 and the perseid meteor shower but 9 00:00:30,150 --> 00:00:27,920 there's also moon jupiter and spika yep 10 00:00:33,510 --> 00:00:30,160 that's what bruce mcclure says and he 11 00:00:35,350 --> 00:00:33,520 should know he hangs out at earthsky.org 12 00:00:38,150 --> 00:00:35,360 that wonderful site where we bring you 13 00:00:41,190 --> 00:00:38,160 what's up in the sky tonight and tonight 14 00:00:43,430 --> 00:00:41,200 shortly after sunset let the waxing moon 15 00:00:45,910 --> 00:00:43,440 guide you to the planet jupiter and the 16 00:00:48,150 --> 00:00:45,920 star spika that brightest star in the 17 00:00:50,069 --> 00:00:48,160 constellation virgo the maiden you 18 00:00:52,069 --> 00:00:50,079 simply can't miss jupiter it's the 19 00:00:54,069 --> 00:00:52,079 second brightest heavenly body to 20 00:00:55,110 --> 00:00:54,079 illuminate the evening sky after the 21 00:00:57,590 --> 00:00:55,120 moon 22 00:00:58,470 --> 00:00:57,600 although planet venus is brighter than 23 00:01:00,869 --> 00:00:58,480 jupiter 24 00:01:03,430 --> 00:01:00,879 venus appears only in the eastern sky 25 00:01:05,429 --> 00:01:03,440 during the wee hours before sunrise 26 00:01:07,510 --> 00:01:05,439 venus will remain in the morning sky in 27 00:01:10,390 --> 00:01:07,520 fact for the rest of this year 28 00:01:12,630 --> 00:01:10,400 so right now and for some months to come 29 00:01:14,789 --> 00:01:12,640 there isn't any way to mistake venus for 30 00:01:17,429 --> 00:01:14,799 jupiter or vice versa 31 00:01:19,350 --> 00:01:17,439 the moon and jupiter come out at dusk 32 00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:19,360 but you might have to wait for the sky 33 00:01:24,230 --> 00:01:22,080 to darken before seeing the star spika 34 00:01:27,350 --> 00:01:24,240 shall be to the east of the moon and 35 00:01:29,109 --> 00:01:27,360 jupiter on july 28th even though spika 36 00:01:30,149 --> 00:01:29,119 counts as one of the sky's brightest 37 00:01:33,670 --> 00:01:30,159 stars 38 00:01:37,270 --> 00:01:33,680 jupiter shines some 14 times brighter 39 00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:37,280 than virgo's sole first magnitude star 40 00:01:42,390 --> 00:01:40,400 tomorrow as darkness falls on july 29th 41 00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:42,400 note the moon's change of position 42 00:01:46,789 --> 00:01:44,960 relative to spika and jupiter this 43 00:01:49,910 --> 00:01:46,799 change in position from one day to the 44 00:01:52,069 --> 00:01:49,920 next is due to the moon's actual motion 45 00:01:55,109 --> 00:01:52,079 in orbit around the earth 46 00:01:57,109 --> 00:01:55,119 wow cool visual evidence the moon 47 00:01:59,670 --> 00:01:57,119 appears to travel westward in the course 48 00:02:02,789 --> 00:01:59,680 of a single day but that motion is due 49 00:02:05,429 --> 00:02:02,799 to earth's spin under the sky 50 00:02:08,550 --> 00:02:05,439 meanwhile day by day the moon travels 51 00:02:10,389 --> 00:02:08,560 eastward in orbit and thus eastward in 52 00:02:11,430 --> 00:02:10,399 front of the backdrop of stars and 53 00:02:13,589 --> 00:02:11,440 planets 54 00:02:15,589 --> 00:02:13,599 the moon will in fact move out of the 55 00:02:18,470 --> 00:02:15,599 constellation virgo after a few more 56 00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:18,480 days but jupiter will still shine in 57 00:02:22,869 --> 00:02:20,400 front of this constellation through the 58 00:02:25,190 --> 00:02:22,879 month of november in other words 59 00:02:27,510 --> 00:02:25,200 brilliant planet jupiter and bright 60 00:02:30,390 --> 00:02:27,520 stars spika will remain steady 61 00:02:32,150 --> 00:02:30,400 companions in the sky for months to come 62 00:02:34,150 --> 00:02:32,160 because jupiter stays in each 63 00:02:37,430 --> 00:02:34,160 constellation of the zodiac for roughly 64 00:02:40,630 --> 00:02:37,440 a year 2017 is a good year for using 65 00:02:42,949 --> 00:02:40,640 jupiter to locate spika and make friends 66 00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:42,959 with the constellation virgo 67 00:02:48,630 --> 00:02:46,560 a year from now july of 2018 jupiter 68 00:02:51,350 --> 00:02:48,640 will be partnering up with that star 69 00:02:55,110 --> 00:02:51,360 with the wonderful name it's a second 70 00:02:57,110 --> 00:02:55,120 magnitude star and they call it zuban el 71 00:03:01,750 --> 00:02:57,120 janubi oh let's spell it 72 00:03:07,350 --> 00:03:03,830 the alpha star in the constellation 73 00:03:09,910 --> 00:03:07,360 libra the scales so provided your 2018 74 00:03:13,910 --> 00:03:09,920 calendar has the space why you can just 75 00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:13,920 pencil in zuban el janubi yep and libra 76 00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:16,080 don't forget libra provides a little 77 00:03:20,470 --> 00:03:17,280 balance 78 00:03:23,110 --> 00:03:20,480 the year following 2019 jupiter will 79 00:03:26,550 --> 00:03:23,120 couple up with antares the constellation 80 00:03:28,550 --> 00:03:26,560 scorpius's famous first magnitude star 81 00:03:31,509 --> 00:03:28,560 jupiter will serve as your guide 82 00:03:34,470 --> 00:03:31,519 throughout 2019 guide you right into 83 00:03:37,030 --> 00:03:34,480 catching glimpses of antares and scorpio 84 00:03:38,949 --> 00:03:37,040 the scorpion but let's not get too far 85 00:03:41,589 --> 00:03:38,959 ahead of ourselves here's the bottom 86 00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:41,599 line for tonight as darkness falls on 87 00:03:48,149 --> 00:03:45,360 july 28 2017 use the moon to find 88 00:03:50,710 --> 00:03:48,159 jupiter and then rely on jupiter to show 89 00:03:52,229 --> 00:03:50,720 you the star spika tonight and for 90 00:03:54,030 --> 00:03:52,239 months to come 91 00:03:56,229 --> 00:03:54,040 that terrific site 92 00:03:57,270 --> 00:03:56,239 universetoday.com provides us with this 93 00:03:58,710 --> 00:03:57,280 headline 94 00:03:59,750 --> 00:03:58,720 new comet 95 00:04:02,149 --> 00:03:59,760 c 96 00:04:05,190 --> 00:04:02,159 201701 97 00:04:09,990 --> 00:04:07,509 takes earth by surprise this gets a 98 00:04:12,550 --> 00:04:10,000 byline for david dickinson 99 00:04:14,630 --> 00:04:12,560 a new comet discovery crept up on us 100 00:04:16,469 --> 00:04:14,640 this past weekend one that should be 101 00:04:17,909 --> 00:04:16,479 visible for northern hemisphere 102 00:04:23,950 --> 00:04:17,919 observers soon 103 00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:25,510 a-s-a-s-s-n 104 00:04:30,469 --> 00:04:28,320 a long-period comet currently visiting 105 00:04:34,390 --> 00:04:30,479 the inner solar system when it was 106 00:04:37,670 --> 00:04:34,400 discovered on july 19 2017 by the all 107 00:04:40,870 --> 00:04:37,680 sky automated survey for supernovi and 108 00:04:45,189 --> 00:04:40,880 those letters are a-s-a-s-s-n 109 00:04:47,670 --> 00:04:45,199 system comet 0-1 a-s-a-s-s-n 110 00:04:49,350 --> 00:04:47,680 was at a faint magnitude it was plus 111 00:04:51,909 --> 00:04:49,360 15.3 112 00:04:54,310 --> 00:04:51,919 located in the constellation cetus 113 00:04:56,790 --> 00:04:54,320 in just a few short days however that 114 00:04:59,830 --> 00:04:56,800 comet jumped up a hundred fold in 115 00:05:01,990 --> 00:04:59,840 brightness to magnitude plus ten and 116 00:05:03,270 --> 00:05:02,000 should be in range of binoculars right 117 00:05:05,670 --> 00:05:03,280 about now 118 00:05:07,909 --> 00:05:05,680 hopes are that this comet will top out 119 00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:07,919 around magnitude plus eight or so in the 120 00:05:12,629 --> 00:05:10,320 month of october as it transitions from 121 00:05:14,270 --> 00:05:12,639 the southern to the northern hemisphere 122 00:05:17,909 --> 00:05:14,280 never heard of 123 00:05:20,469 --> 00:05:17,919 a-s-a-s-s-n well no we hadn't it is an 124 00:05:23,110 --> 00:05:20,479 automated sky survey hunting for 125 00:05:25,990 --> 00:05:23,120 supernovae in both hemispheres with 126 00:05:28,469 --> 00:05:26,000 instruments based at haleakala in hawaii 127 00:05:30,950 --> 00:05:28,479 and cerro tololo in chile 128 00:05:33,430 --> 00:05:30,960 although the survey targets supernovae 129 00:05:35,590 --> 00:05:33,440 it does on occasion pick up other 130 00:05:36,469 --> 00:05:35,600 interesting astronomical phenomena as 131 00:05:38,629 --> 00:05:36,479 well 132 00:05:41,270 --> 00:05:38,639 this is the first comet discovery for 133 00:05:45,749 --> 00:05:41,280 that team as they join the ranks of pan 134 00:05:50,710 --> 00:05:48,230 stars with two r's there's a program 135 00:05:53,029 --> 00:05:50,720 called linear and lots of prolific 136 00:05:57,270 --> 00:05:53,039 robotic comet hunters 137 00:05:59,189 --> 00:05:57,280 evoking the very name a-s-a-s-s-n 138 00:06:01,749 --> 00:05:59,199 seems to have sparked a minor 139 00:06:04,390 --> 00:06:01,759 controversy as well as the international 140 00:06:06,790 --> 00:06:04,400 astronomical union declined to name the 141 00:06:09,430 --> 00:06:06,800 comet after that survey they're still 142 00:06:12,150 --> 00:06:09,440 just listing it as c 143 00:06:14,230 --> 00:06:12,160 201701 144 00:06:16,350 --> 00:06:14,240 the word of course when said out loud 145 00:06:19,350 --> 00:06:16,360 those letters 146 00:06:20,469 --> 00:06:19,360 a-s-a-s-s-n well it's close to the word 147 00:06:23,270 --> 00:06:20,479 assassin 148 00:06:25,110 --> 00:06:23,280 so hence that controversy 149 00:06:27,270 --> 00:06:25,120 but for david dickinson who writes this 150 00:06:30,070 --> 00:06:27,280 article he says quote we'll simply keep 151 00:06:32,469 --> 00:06:30,080 referring to that comment as 0 1 152 00:06:34,550 --> 00:06:32,479 a-s-a-s-s-n 153 00:06:36,870 --> 00:06:34,560 in recognition of the team's hard work 154 00:06:39,670 --> 00:06:36,880 and their terrific discovery 155 00:06:42,070 --> 00:06:39,680 but he continues what's in a name and 156 00:06:43,189 --> 00:06:42,080 does an interplanetary ice ball really 157 00:06:46,150 --> 00:06:43,199 care 158 00:06:49,189 --> 00:06:46,160 on a long-term parabolic orbit probably 159 00:06:50,350 --> 00:06:49,199 measured in the millions of years zero 160 00:06:53,749 --> 00:06:50,360 one 161 00:06:55,909 --> 00:06:53,759 a-s-a-s-s-n has an orbit inclined 40 162 00:06:59,430 --> 00:06:55,919 degrees to the ecliptic in case you're 163 00:07:01,749 --> 00:06:59,440 wondering and it reaches perihelion 1.5 164 00:07:03,749 --> 00:07:01,759 astronomical units from the sun just 165 00:07:06,150 --> 00:07:03,759 outside the orbit of mars that will 166 00:07:08,230 --> 00:07:06,160 happen october 14th 167 00:07:10,950 --> 00:07:08,240 this is most likely going to be that 168 00:07:14,550 --> 00:07:10,960 comet's first passage through the inner 169 00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:14,560 solar system as in first ever 170 00:07:19,909 --> 00:07:16,479 currently located in the constellation 171 00:07:21,670 --> 00:07:19,919 eridanus hopefully that comet's current 172 00:07:23,589 --> 00:07:21,680 outburst will hold 173 00:07:25,749 --> 00:07:23,599 expect it to climb northward through 174 00:07:27,990 --> 00:07:25,759 taurus and perseus over the next few 175 00:07:30,629 --> 00:07:28,000 months as it begins the long climb 176 00:07:32,629 --> 00:07:30,639 toward the north celestial pole here's a 177 00:07:34,950 --> 00:07:32,639 tad more about its location should you 178 00:07:37,990 --> 00:07:34,960 be inclined to try to see it as seen 179 00:07:40,390 --> 00:07:38,000 from latitude 30 degrees north the comet 180 00:07:43,270 --> 00:07:40,400 will move almost parallel to the eastern 181 00:07:45,909 --> 00:07:43,280 horizon and clears about 20 degrees 182 00:07:48,230 --> 00:07:45,919 altitude around local midnight very well 183 00:07:50,790 --> 00:07:48,240 placed for northern hemisphere observers 184 00:07:54,150 --> 00:07:50,800 this great article by the way is filled 185 00:07:57,189 --> 00:07:54,160 with graphics ecliptics and charts oh my 186 00:07:59,029 --> 00:07:57,199 it gets technical bad radio you can 187 00:08:01,830 --> 00:07:59,039 check out all

00:12:05,750 --> 00:12:03,120 segment of the station that's going to 283 00:12:08,310 --> 00:12:05,760 require a little bit of juxtapositioning 284 00:12:10,069 --> 00:12:08,320 a spacex dragon supply ship launched 285 00:12:12,389 --> 00:12:10,079 from nasa's kennedy space center in 286 00:12:15,990 --> 00:12:12,399 florida is expected to arrive at the 287 00:12:17,350 --> 00:12:16,000 complex that same week but its liftoff 288 00:12:19,350 --> 00:12:17,360 is going to have to work around the 289 00:12:21,190 --> 00:12:19,360 scheduled russian spacewalk 290 00:12:22,949 --> 00:12:21,200 station managers want to ensure the 291 00:12:25,750 --> 00:12:22,959 satellites released by the russian space 292 00:12:27,829 --> 00:12:25,760 walkers are accurately tracked before 293 00:12:30,230 --> 00:12:27,839 committing the dragon cargo freighter to 294 00:12:31,829 --> 00:12:30,240 even approach the outpost 295 00:12:34,230 --> 00:12:31,839 they're intensely interested in 296 00:12:36,550 --> 00:12:34,240 minimizing the chance for collision with 297 00:12:39,430 --> 00:12:36,560 one of the small craft at this point 298 00:12:41,829 --> 00:12:39,440 that dragon capsule is currently set to 299 00:12:44,470 --> 00:12:41,839 launch around august 14th but if it 300 00:12:46,470 --> 00:12:44,480 slips more than a day or two the launch 301 00:12:48,949 --> 00:12:46,480 aboard a falcon 9

vaguely as none 413 00:17:35,350 --> 00:17:32,880 the flight path was stationary and quite 414 00:17:38,630 --> 00:17:35,360 obviously this object was shaped like a 415 00:17:41,390 --> 00:17:38,640 triangle it was hot at that time in 416 00:17:44,390 --> 00:17:41,400 boulder city the maximum temperature was 417 00:17:46,870 --> 00:17:44,400 104 degrees fahrenheit 40 degrees 418 00:17:49,510 --> 00:17:46,880 celsius and it didn't cool off very much 419 00:17:52,789 --> 00:17:49,520 that night the minimum temperature 86 420 00:17:55,669 --> 00:17:52,799 degrees fahrenheit 30 degrees celsius 421 00:17:58,950 --> 00:17:55,679 the factors of visibility maximum 422 00:18:02,310 --> 00:17:58,960 through minimum all the same 10 miles 16 423 00:18:05,830 --> 00:18:02,320 kilometers nope nothing abnormal about 424 00:18:08,310 --> 00:18:05,840 the arizona weather here's the account 425 00:18:09,750 --> 00:18:08,320 i was headed toward las vegas on highway 426 00:18:11,990 --> 00:18:09,760 93. 427 00:18:14,710 --> 00:18:12,000 i noticed a bright light in the distance 428 00:18:17,510 --> 00:18:14,720 and i thought it was a plane after 429 00:18:19,350 --> 00:18:17,520 traveling for some time though i noticed 430 00:18:21,510 --> 00:18:19,360 it had not moved 431 00:18:23,750 --> 00:18:21,520 two more lights turned on 432 00:18:25,510 --> 00:18:23,760 forming a triangle 433 00:18:26,789 --> 00:18:25,520 this thing hovered above the mountain 434 00:18:28,549 --> 00:18:26,799 range 435 00:18:30,470 --> 00:18:28,559 for some reason 436 00:18:32,070 --> 00:18:30,480 i felt like i shouldn't have been 437 00:18:33,750 --> 00:18:32,080 looking at it 438 00:18:37,110 --> 00:18:33,760 that's when i decided to take a short 439 00:18:39,029 --> 00:18:37,120 video and i posted that on facebook 440 00:18:40,070 --> 00:18:39,039 right after i started recording the 441 00:18:43,669 --> 00:18:40,080 video 442 00:18:45,590 --> 00:18:43,679 a small flashing orb began to fall from 443 00:18:48,150 --> 00:18:45,600 this object 444 00:18:51,270 --> 00:18:48,160 as the road there begins to wind more i 445 00:18:53,830 --> 00:18:51,280 couldn't continue to watch the object 446 00:18:56,310 --> 00:18:53,840 now about a week and a half from that 447 00:18:58,710 --> 00:18:56,320 day i was going through photos to delete 448 00:18:59,830 --> 00:18:58,720 and make space when i came across this 449 00:19:02,390 --> 00:18:59,840 video 450 00:19:04,310 --> 00:19:02,400 for some reason i had honestly forgotten 451 00:19:06,470 --> 00:19:04,320 i had taken it 452 00:19:09,750 --> 00:19:06,480 the small blue light on the left side in 453 00:19:12,310 --> 00:19:09,760 the video that's a reflection of the led 454 00:19:15,029 --> 00:19:12,320 on the charger of my phone 455 00:19:18,230 --> 00:19:15,039 oh but gentle listeners what is that 456 00:19:21,350 --> 00:19:18,240 other object check it out do your own 457 00:19:23,669 --> 00:19:21,360 analysis it's up to you 458 00:19:25,350 --> 00:19:23,679 hang on here's a dramatic shift in 459 00:19:29,190 --> 00:19:25,360 trajectory we're going to go from 460 00:19:32,070 --> 00:19:29,200 arizona to nova scotia to halifax that's 461 00:19:33,270 --> 00:19:32,080 where mufon case number 85387 462 00:19:34,789 --> 00:19:33,280 took place 463 00:19:38,150 --> 00:19:34,799 the date of the sighting and the 464 00:19:39,830 --> 00:19:38,160 submission date are the same july 26 465 00:19:41,909 --> 00:19:39,840 2017 466 00:19:43,270 --> 00:19:41,919 here's what the witness offers by way of 467 00:19:45,270 --> 00:19:43,280 summary 468 00:19:49,750 --> 00:19:45,280 moving at steady rate 469 00:19:52,310 --> 00:19:49,760 abrupt 40-degree change in direction 470 00:19:53,510 --> 00:19:52,320 citing specifics viewing distance over 471 00:19:55,669 --> 00:19:53,520 one mile 472 00:19:58,230 --> 00:19:55,679 our reporting witness lists the altitude 473 00:20:01,350 --> 00:19:58,240 here of over 500 feet without cloud 474 00:20:03,750 --> 00:20:01,360 cover the sighting duration was quick 15 475 00:20:06,470 --> 00:20:03,760 seconds which tallies that the object 476 00:20:08,950 --> 00:20:06,480 features are simply described as none 477 00:20:10,789 --> 00:20:08,960 the flight path was a path that included 478 00:20:13,909 --> 00:20:10,799 directional change 479 00:20:15,830 --> 00:20:13,919 and this object had a sphere shape 480 00:20:18,470 --> 00:20:15,840 here's the account in the first person 481 00:20:22,630 --> 00:20:18,480 words of our reporting witness 482 00:20:24,630 --> 00:20:22,640 woke up at noon blue sky sunny large 483 00:20:26,070 --> 00:20:24,640 white clouds all around 484 00:20:29,350 --> 00:20:26,080 i went out the front door to have a 485 00:20:33,029 --> 00:20:29,360 cigarette looked up at the blue sky 486 00:20:35,750 --> 00:20:33,039 and i immediately saw a white small 487 00:20:37,190 --> 00:20:35,760 marble looking object in a patch of blue 488 00:20:39,990 --> 00:20:37,200 sky 489 00:20:42,230 --> 00:20:40,000 at first i thought it was a drone due to 490 00:20:44,789 --> 00:20:42,240 how fast it was moving 491 00:20:47,430 --> 00:20:44,799 but then i realized this object was far 492 00:20:50,870 --> 00:20:47,440 too high to be moving that fast 493 00:20:53,029 --> 00:20:50,880 it was round smooth no edges there were 494 00:20:56,070 --> 00:20:53,039 no wings sticking out 495 00:20:57,990 --> 00:20:56,080 the clouds were thick tall clouds like 496 00:21:00,230 --> 00:20:58,000 mountains in the sky 497 00:21:03,350 --> 00:21:00,240 this object was a little above the base 498 00:21:06,390 --> 00:21:03,360 of those clouds its speed 499 00:21:09,590 --> 00:21:06,400 was similar to here's an example if you 500 00:21:12,710 --> 00:21:09,600 held up a 12 inch ruler at arm's length 501 00:21:16,149 --> 00:21:12,720 and took two seconds to move your finger 502 00:21:18,390 --> 00:21:16,159 from one end of the ruler to the other 503 00:21:20,870 --> 00:21:18,400 the object was the shape of a circle 504 00:21:22,310 --> 00:21:20,880 that would be five millimeters tall at 505 00:21:25,029 --> 00:21:22,320 arm's length 506 00:21:26,390 --> 00:21:25,039 it was white the color of the clouds 507 00:21:28,950 --> 00:21:26,400 exactly 508 00:21:30,630 --> 00:21:28,960 except that it was round 509 00:21:33,110 --> 00:21:30,640 i could tell because it was slightly 510 00:21:33,990 --> 00:21:33,120 shaded with the shadow of a curvature on 511 00:21:36,470 --> 00:21:34,000 it 512 00:21:38,870 --> 00:21:36,480 this thing was moving in a straight path 513 00:21:40,870 --> 00:21:38,880 for about five to ten seconds i'm not 514 00:21:44,149 --> 00:21:40,880 very good with time it could have been 515 00:21:47,590 --> 00:21:44,159 shorter or longer i really don't know 516 00:21:49,270 --> 00:21:47,600 but then this object changed direction 517 00:21:51,750 --> 00:21:49,280 about 40 degrees 518 00:21:52,789 --> 00:21:51,760 it was moving west to southwest at this 519 00:21:55,669 --> 00:21:52,799 point 520 00:21:59,350 --> 00:21:55,679 and then it went behind and into these 521 00:22:02,470 --> 00:21:59,360 large clouds and it went out of my sight 522 00:22:05,510 --> 00:22:02,480 the reason i'm reporting it as a ufo 523 00:22:08,950 --> 00:22:05,520 is because this object was clearly round 524 00:22:11,830 --> 00:22:08,960 it had no wings not even small wings it 525 00:22:13,430 --> 00:22:11,840 had no angles there were no edges large 526 00:22:16,390 --> 00:22:13,440 enough to see 527 00:22:18,710 --> 00:22:16,400 this object was moving at a steady rate 528 00:22:20,149 --> 00:22:18,720 it wasn't going up like a balloon there 529 00:22:23,110 --> 00:22:20,159 was no drift 530 00:22:26,710 --> 00:22:23,120 it went in an undisturbed forward path 531 00:22:29,669 --> 00:22:26,720 or motion it wasn't being blown around 532 00:22:32,870 --> 00:22:29,679 and then this object made an immediate 533 00:22:35,669 --> 00:22:32,880 and abrupt change in direction that 40 534 00:22:36,870 --> 00:22:35,679 degrees thing it moved west and then 535 00:22:39,350 --> 00:22:36,880 southwest 536 00:22:43,270 --> 00:22:39,360 in my opinion this object was too small 537 00:22:44,390 --> 00:22:43,280 or too high to be moving so fast 538 00:22:46,070 --> 00:22:44,400 interesting 539 00:22:48,710 --> 00:22:46,080 we seem to be coming across a lot of 540 00:22:52,710 --> 00:22:48,720 reports that indicate objects that are 541 00:22:55,510 --> 00:22:52,720 only unusual in their speed their height 542 00:22:58,310 --> 00:22:55,520 but mostly that factor of no wings not 543 00:23:00,870 --> 00:22:58,320 even stubby little wings so what's up 544 00:23:03,110 --> 00:23:00,880 with that and what's up with our wonky 545 00:23:05,990 --> 00:23:03,120 trajectory we're going back now to 546 00:23:08,549 --> 00:23:06,000 oregon the city of portland it's mufon 547 00:23:12,310 --> 00:23:08,559 case number eight five 85417 548 00:23:15,029 --> 00:23:12,320 the date of the sighting is 7 27 2017 549 00:23:17,830 --> 00:23:15,039 and it was reported the very same day 550 00:23:21,909 --> 00:23:17,840 in summary the witness says was looking 551 00:23:25,350 --> 00:23:21,919 up saw a slow moving silver cylinder no 552 00:23:27,510 --> 00:23:25,360 wings oh that's the theme no wings 553 00:23:30,950 --> 00:23:27,520 citing specifics viewing distance 554 00:23:34,310 --> 00:23:30,960 unknown altitude over 500 feet no cloud 555 00:23:35,750 --> 00:23:34,320 cover citing duration one minute object 556 00:23:38,470 --> 00:23:35,760 features none 557 00:23:41,990 --> 00:23:38,480 object flight path straight line path 558 00:23:43,750 --> 00:23:42,000 and this object was cylindrical in shape 559 00:23:45,270 --> 00:23:43,760 here's the report 560 00:23:47,909 --> 00:23:45,280 just got off work 561 00:23:50,390 --> 00:23:47,919 stopped at a neighborhood bar for a beer 562 00:23:53,909 --> 00:23:50,400 and as i was outside talking to a friend 563 00:23:56,149 --> 00:23:53,919 i looked up and noticed a shiny silver 564 00:23:58,710 --> 00:23:56,159 cylinder-shaped object 565 00:24:01,590 --> 00:23:58,720 this object was reflecting the sun 566 00:24:04,870 --> 00:24:01,600 it was moving slowly it was large enough 567 00:24:06,070 --> 00:24:04,880 to notice that this thing had no visible 568 00:24:08,310 --> 00:24:06,080 wings 569 00:24:09,350 --> 00:24:08,320 it was daytime so there were no lights 570 00:24:11,830 --> 00:24:09,360 visible 571 00:24:15,990 --> 00:24:11,840 i did take a video of it on zoom with my 572 00:24:18,070 --> 00:24:16,000 samsung 8 but i can't seem to email that 573 00:24:20,470 --> 00:24:18,080 video i thought this was a plane at 574 00:24:23,830 --> 00:24:20,480 first but then i noticed there were 575 00:24:26,149 --> 00:24:23,840 absolutely no surface features on this 576 00:24:28,390 --> 00:24:26,159 object like wings 577 00:24:31,909 --> 00:24:28,400 this thing appeared and then disappeared 578 00:24:33,909 --> 00:24:31,919 after about a minute it simply faded out 579 00:24:36,950 --> 00:24:33,919 oh that's our cue we're gonna have to 580 00:24:38,230 --> 00:24:36,960 fade out here too because 581 00:24:39,909 --> 00:24:38,240 that's a wrap 582 00:24:42,310 --> 00:24:39,919 thank you for listening
