Subject: UFO Sighting - Location: St. Johnsbury, Vermont - Zip Code: 05819 - Date: April 19, 2005 - Time: 9:00 PM - Witnesses: 1 - Object's Shape: Oval - Number of Objects: 10 - Object had lights - There were aircraft in the area - There was a Radio and or TV transmitter near by

Event Description:
On 19 April at approx. 2100 hours, I was driving into St. Johnsbury, as I looked up to the South east I saw a red light very bright and large.

My first thought was, "Wow this is a bright planet or star!" Then I saw more lights appearing until a total of 10 of these lights appeared. The shape was like that of some of the new fireworks that I have seen like an oval shape. This was not the case.

As I continued to drive, the lights seemed to pulsate. Then as quickly as they appeared the lights started to disappeared, but not in the order that they appeared. Starting with the last light that appeared the lights started to fade away but alternating (for example 10, 8, 9, 7, etc.) until there was the first light that I saw was the only light in the sky.

This object did not have any sound and looked about the size of 2 football fields and about 3/4 a mile away. This is something that I could not quite believe I was seeing. Like I said being a pilot and familiar with civilian aircraft, Military Aircraft this is nothing I have ever seen before.

At this point I looked south on the road to be sure no vehicles were approaching me. I looked up and there were no lights left. At approx. 2110 hours I heard a military aircraft flying overhead with full after burners on. I heard this while in my parents home and when I went outside, of course this aircraft was long out of sight, but could continue to hear this for about 5 minutes.

There is a military base in Burlington Vermont about 45 NM from St. Johnsbury with F-16's.

Now if they were scrambled, it would probably take them 10 minutes to get in this air space. There is also a military operations area for aircraft (Yankee One MOA) which runs just east of St. Johnsbury up into Maine.

Yes, it is possible they were having maneuvers in this area, but not likely as they would not be burning out as this aircraft was.

I am not sure what this was and more than likely ever know but this was not something you see every day. I know it was not anything I have ever seen for the 48 years on this earth. The night was clear bright moon warm about 69 degrees.

I called the police department (which I worked for) and asked if any one had called in on this and they did not get any calls.

So what was this? The one time I did not have my camera. Just my luck. If anyone else saw this please write.
Thank you
Mark

Subject: UFO Sighting - Location: West Rutland, Vermont - County: Rutland - Date: 7/?/00 - Time: 10:15 PM
Witnesses: 3 - Objects Shape: Oval - Number of objects: 1 - Object had lights
Event Description:
Myself and my sister and three cousins were playing a late night game of hide and seek.While one of my cousins and sister were trying to find me, and my other cousin they said that they spotted an oval shaped object that was flying along and had 4 round lights on it.

We discussed it for a while and then continued our game. Not more than 10 minutes from the first time it was seen by just my sister and one of my cousins, I saw it. It was close but not too close.

Not thinking about stupidly I turned around and continued on my search. However, my two cousins and sister had seen it the second time also. They told me that it had been flying and went behind a monstrous oak tree that was filled with leaves, but it didn't come out the other side of the tree. EXPLAIN THAT!!!!!!!!!

Jeremy??? I wish we could 'explain that!!!' Thank you for coming to Mystical Universe with your UFO Experience.
