ACCOUNT: He continued walking to the barracks,
SYNOPSIS: On February of 1974 at approx. 11:30
PM, an 18 year old Marine PFC “John” was walking
back to the Naval Weapons Station (NWS) in
Yorktown, Virginia base from liberty in town. Once
in and about a quarter mile past the S3 entrance
guard post, he proceeded to tag on a road that cuts
through the wooded area of the base.
John: “I stopped walking, looked at my arms that were lite up, I turned my palms up, amazed I
looked up and saw a very large object, maybe 40-50 ft…what I thought was the bottom of a
craft”. The underside of the object was covered with what appears to be hundreds of small
lights, glowing fluorescent green and he described it as having a “bubble wrap” texture –
however, no noise was heard. Next, as waking from a daze, he finds himself continuing walking
towards the barracks yet the shadow he was now casting upon the ground was manifested by
the morning’s first light. More than five hours were unaccounted for!
Fast Forward today: He experienced mild waves of depressions and endured headaches since
the encounter. He also added that he visited a hospital to have his brain scanned and the doctor
did discover a dark spot that was located in the middle of both his left and right hemispheres but
nothing further was done from this diagnosis. Hypnosis is not an option at this time.
Historical Case
he was suddenly illuminated in a bright green light
piercing from above. He looked upward and saw a large
round object hovering above him, slightly higher than
the tall fir trees that surrounded him.

ACCOUNT: “BA” was stationed near a Marine Corps
Base, second floor apartment in Quantico, Virginia, with
her husband (a Marine Sergeant). One afternoon, she
recalls putting her 1 and 3 year old kids to bed for an
afternoon nap around 02:00 PM. While watching TV on
her sofa, BA became sleepy and turned off the TV to
rest herself. Shortly after, in a half-awaken state, she
heard what sounded like clicking noises near her ear
SYNOPSIS: Sometime in 1994, the witness
experienced a close encounter and communication with
entities; she was immobilized for about 5 minutes.

which she later described it as a beeping or water droplets sound. She managed to see
two small entities in uniform near her sofa but felt she was momentarily immobilized from
what she believed was controlled by a small, multi-colored buttoned remote device that
one of these creatures was holding in its hand - while pointing at her. Her vision was hazy
during this time also. She started to become very aggravated in this state and she also
sensed that they were communicating with her telepathically in English and they knew
she was very upset.
BA: “I feared for my children that were a few feet away in the other room sleeping, I
couldn't talk or move, but in my mind I could talk to them and they to me…the beings
weren't grey but they were brownish-green and seem to have the texture of plant-like,
seem organic, height of 3-1/2 to 4 feet tall. The uniforms were like the US Marine's gala
uniform, the same type of blue, yet had no markings, medals nor ranks”.
SYNOPSIS: On August 25, 2015, the main witness
“BR” saw an orange-colored "orb" slowly approaching
his location. This orb was also witnessed by several
people around him, about a dozen or so watching it
above.

ACCOUNT: On July 4th at 09:15 PM, the
witness “BR” was looking south in the general
direction of Dublin, VA, saw an orange orb
slowly approaching at a distance. The object
was brightly-illuminated that everyone could
clearly see it as stated by the witness. BR:
“This craft was clearly NOT a Chinese lantern,
a weather balloon, the planet Venus or the
other “usual suspects” trotted out after such
an event. It flew towards our position for
several minutes, before slowing down and
reversing direction-back towards the SE,
rather than along its initial path) before
suddenly disappearing…with regard to any
noises” (i.e., exhaust, sonic booms, etc.)
emanating from this aircraft, no discernible
noise was noticed.”

01
ACCOUNT: Deviating from his normal route, Jeff decided
to have a better look at this mysterious object. As he
approached Pulaski County High School on his right, he
made a left turn into Mountain View Drive subdivision then
slowly meandered towards the light. Stunned, Jeff pulled
over his old Chevy Cavalier to observe the bright disk that
was now motionless and completely silent as it was
SYNOPSIS: On Tuesday, September 27, 1994,
shortly after 09:00 PM, 19 year old “Jeff” left work
early that night and proceeded to head back home
but after a short drive, something in the night sky
caught his eye, what appeared to be a large star
moving across the horizon.
Historical Case
hovering right above a house. Suddenly, the disk emitted a bluish white beam over the roof
of this home! The witness was approximately 15 yards away looking upward and he
described the UFO as disk shaped, about 50 feet in diameter with multiple bright, white
lights that filled the whole base but with only one red light in its center. The beam projected
through what appeared to be a rectangular “window” located at the upper part of the craft.
Jeff: “Just wanted to add that I didn't know much about UFOs at the time this happened. The biggest thing that always bothered me about the sighting was the bluish white beam of light it was shining on the roof. It wasn't until years later that I found out that what I saw coincides with what a lot of people that claim to have been abducted have reported…it's been over 20 years since I witnessed that event but it's something that will be etched in my memory forever.”

ACCOUNT: Sometime during 2000, at approx. 10:00
PM, a witness allegedly observed strange lights over
an orchard while driving back from his in-laws near
Winchester, Virginia. He showed up a few hours later,
confused (this should have been a 20 minute drive).
SYNOPSIS: Sometime (the exact date unknown)
“Tom” was going home from his parents and saw
strange lights above an apple orchard. He lost 2
hours, and could not remember getting home.
The next day, he had to visit a hospital (Winchester Medical Center) because his eyes were
burning and very painful. Tom did share his strange sighting with his wife but refused to tell the
nurses/doctors how his eyes were affected during his emergency visit however, he wife did
quietly told one of the nurses about the lights that he saw the previous night. The doctor asked
him if he was “welding” something without eye protections but he said no.
Wife: “This was my first husband that this happened to. We are both remarried, and all of us
are close friends, and see and talk to each other on a regular basis. I had been debating
whether or not to submit this incident to MUFON. I did so because I feel it was important, and
needs to be recorded. I don't know if my ex-husband will talk about this or not. I don't
remember any other unusual marks on his body. ”
SYNOPSIS: On February 29, 2016, a government
agency employee was walking back from lunch and
caught something strange hovering at a distance.

ACCOUNT: At 11:45 AM, “Cliff” caught something with
the corner of his eye. As he turns towards northeast, his
attention was drawn upward by a strange sickle shaped
device that simply hung there above the tree line a few
yards away. The surface of this object was overall silver
in color with a small highly reflective oval shaped feature
on the upper part of this apparatus. At first, he thought it
was a kite but it was motionless!
Cliff: “As I put in my initial report, I thought it was a kite when I first observed it. However,
there was no lateral motion that you would normally see with a kite as it sways with the
wind. This object was steady holding in one spot.” The object at arm’s length was about
the size of a quarter, approximately 30 feet in diameter and he observed this fixed UAP
for about a minute then it shot straight up into the sky. He did not believe that this was a
drone. “I have a lot of experience with Drones. I was part of the development and fielding
efforts for Global Hawk and Predator. I also observed the small Drones used by my
Marines in Iraq in 2004 and programs such as Global Hawk, Predator, Hunter, EMALS
and more.”
Cliff also provided a drawing (above right) of what he saw that morning and please note the similarity of his drawing to the UFO sketch by pilot Kenneth Arnold June of 1947 sighting.
CASE

30SYNOPSIS: On February 28, 2016 at approx. 09:30
PM, the witness “PF”, wife and son were on their back
porch located in Centreville, Virginia, and as they were
relaxing in their hot tub, they all witnessed a V-shaped
object at a distance.
ACCOUNT: The chevron-shaped object silently gliding
towards their home, flying northerly from the south. As
the object passed above them, the main witness “PF”
estimate the size to be approximately as to a McDonnell
Douglas DC-9 plane and at an altitude of 500 – 700 feet
above ground. The sighting lasted about 8 seconds.
PF: “It flew in overhead from the south, traveling due north at a good clip. I definitely think it was a solid chevron shaped craft with a row of round orange colored lights on each side and not a formation of individual flying orbs, seemed too uniform for that…I admit I've always leaned toward believing in UFOs but never until that night witnessed one. We see a lot of aircraft in the area (private, commercial, military, helicopters, etc.) at all kinds of altitudes, but this was something I (we) have never seen before.”
Dulles International Airport is located about 6 miles north from their home. “PF” is a
56 year old professional and works as a business development executive with a
government contractor and has a MBA educational level.
SYNOPSIS: This historical case took place 53 years
ago shortly after a family moved in a small town
located within a stone’s throw of Washington D.C.,
and as a young boy in the angst of dealing with his
new surroundings, he had moreover an unexpected
encounter from strange visitors afar.
Historical
CASE

ACCOUNT: In 1962, the Walters moved into their
new 1,488 sqft single family home located in the
historic town of Vienna, Virginia. Seven year old “J” and his younger brothers were settling
in quite contentedly as they all shared a bedroom that was also decked out with a bunk
bed. A few days later, “J” was awakened late into the night by an intense light that flooded
the entire bedroom. As his eyes begun to adjust to the brightness, he realized that the
source came from outside his window. As he cautiously crept towards the window and
began to look out, he was amazed to see three small humanoids standing side by side in
his backyard, one of which was much smaller than the other
two; just standing there staring back at this young boy.
Strangely enough, “J” wasn’t afraid somehow but fully
mesmerized by this manifestation. As weird as it sounds he
said, he felt like something was telling him that it was OK and
not to be scared.

J: “There were two tall ones, I'm guessing maybe 4 feet tall, and a smaller one in the
middle, and I am pretty sure the two tall ones were holding hands with the smaller one. I
know they were looking at me. I don't recall seeing their noses, necks, any hair or even
mouths. It is like their heads just blended into the body…no clothes or body parts
revealing their genders, just all grayish whiteness except for their eyes which were very
dark and the almond shape.”
The whole backyard was also lit up brightly, from an unknown source.
J: “There was also a very bright white light or something lighting everything up (light shining
down from above it seemed)…I don't really know where all the bright light was coming from.”
He imparted with me also that it is puzzling to him that he has no
memory of this scenario’s ending – on how he returned to bed and
going back to sleep. I asked him if he found any unusual marks, cuts,
or punctures on his body after this incident, and he said none. After a
day or two, he eventually ventured out to his new backyard for the
first time and to his amazement he discovered a circular indentation in
the ground where the saucer was hovering. The indentation remained
there for the whole 26 years they were living there. “J” chose not to
reveal this encounter with anyone until much later in life.
“J” added that the entities were bathed in a hazy glow that surrounded them, making it a little
difficult to see them clearly. He also noticed that there was a circular object at the rear and to the
right of them, hovering a few feet above the ground. It appeared to be a grayish-silver, circular
object with a dome on top, as to classic flying saucers that were portrayed in films but it didn’t
have any door or windows. This object was about 4 feet in diameter as he described it.

12ACCOUNT: On May 21, 2016 at 09:13:50 PM, the witness “Ashley” from inside her
parked car located at a mall in Charlottesville, Virginia, she along with her partner
observed white lights hovering above them, at a distance they believe to be 2500
ft. above. They both believe this was a triangular craft that also had white
flashing/strobing lights. During flight, the UAP hovered for about 10 seconds then it
continued on a northwesterly trajectory. She took photos of it with her Samsung-
SM-G930A iPhone. Ashley: “Flight direction was north by northwest, I don't think it
was a straight course. The UFO was flying low altitude and it is hard to determine
if it was ascending or rising.”
Both believe the craft was triangular in shape. Ashley
actually sent me two (2) photos of this UAP, taken six
(6) seconds apart as it was hovering northwesterly.
The sighting lasted approx. 5 minutes, flew slowly and
silently over Barracks Road Shopping Center. A
SYNOPSIS: On May 24, 2016 at about 09:15 PM, the witness “La-va” from an
undisclosed area of Norfolk, Virginia, she was looking at the stars for a while then
she later observed multiple unidentified objects flying quietly overhead. These
objects were described as satellite-like but with a dark gray rectangular UAP
intermixed. The white spheres and the rectangular object seems to be following
each other flying westerly and at one point, it formed a triangle pattern then later
separated from each other breaking the formation, heading northwesterly.
CASE

OBJECT DESCRIPTION: Spherical objects, glowing white in color – two of which were blinking,
with one dark gray rectangular object flying within this configuration. A total of 3 illuminations
and a dark rectangle was observed, however these objects could have been 2 separate “crafts”
given that the sketch seems to denote two unvarying group of signals.
La-va: “I am 1 and a 1/2 miles west of Norfolk International Airport, but this was way up in the
sky could not have originated from airport…it was a clear night and there was no sound. Color
was the dull grey rectangle behind the first object and the white blinking lights on the 2nd
object. Could not see any shape on 2nd object just that the blinking lights were wider in width
than the grey rectangle in front of it when they were both going the same direction.”
CASE

29SYNOPSIS: On June 18, 2016 at approx. 09:55 PM, “JP” with another
witness from a parking lot of a Virginia Beach store off 623 First Colonial
Rd., facing toward SSW, he observed and videotaped glowing red/orange
orbs hovering over his area.
ACCOUNT: JP: “We saw no more than 5 lights in formation moving from east to west before
disappearing. The sighting lasted 10 minutes give or take. No jets were flying that day.
Normally F/A 18 Hornets have flashing lights on the rudders to aid in identifying each other
and I did not see that.”
Satellite imagery indicate that the Naval Air Station Oceana airport is just 2 miles south from
where the witnesses were standing, the orbs were hovering possibly very near or right over
parts this base and I would imagine that the base’s personnel would have seen them or even
picked them up on radar but the chances of them sharing this incident with me would be
unrealistic.
CASE
779
04SYNOPSIS: On July 24, 2016 at approx. 08:55 PM, the witness “JR” along
with his mother, were inside their car waiting at a red light from the
intersection of Hydraulic Rd and Route 29, in Charlottesville, VA. From his
point of view looking out through his windshield, “JR” found his attention
suddenly drawn skyward by white lights at a distance. The UFO appeared to
be stationary at first but then was slowly moving towards their location and
as it approached Route 29, JR had his camera ready as he started
videotaping this object as it hovered over them.
OBJECT DESCRIPTION: Dark triangular object and at its base, it had 3white lights at each corner and a flashing red light in its centroid. The witness describe it as
being a little more than half of a football field in size and it flew northward.
WITNESS STATEMENTS: From what I
have gathered from my calls, along with
satellites photos and viewing his video, his
CMS report indicated that the UFO was
heading NE but in actuality, its trajectory
was northerly, seemingly following
Hydraulic Road pathway from above. JR:
“We both saw the lights first for three or
so minutes, the object did not move and
looked as big as a watermelon (arm’s
distance) then after 30 secs at the traffic
light, I saw the black structureNext page

WITNESS STATEMENTS:
…of the triangle move over my car
and made no sound at all. (Video
footage) You saw only a little part
that I was able to video tape before
the intersection light turned green.”
JR quickly grabbed his camera as
the object flew over him prior to
departing from the intersection.

CORRELATING CASE: My May 2016 case (#76512) also comprise of a
similar triangular object flying over the same Charlottesville area and
trajectory, just a few weeks prior to this case, in which the witness also
photographed the object with her iPhone.

CONCLUSION: JR is in his mid 40s and is currently unemployed, living at home and
taking care of his mom. One of his diversions is to carry a camera with him during his local
travels as he’s always on the lookout for interesting things to shoot as to unusual weather
patterns and the like; one of his short videos is posted on YouTube of a neighborhood
house fire. The second witness is a retired school teacher. The witnesses were credible
and although the video was unsteady at times, the footage of the unknown object was
quite clear and I do not believe it to be CGI. The source of these triangular objects are
unknown but often seen especially in Virginia, and their unusual navigational beacons
and the absence of
conventional tail, wings,
stabilizers, etc., one will
have to deduce that it
was not our
accustomed passenger
airliner, military aircraft
or FAA approved
commercial drone.
