NUFORC UFO Sighting 177467
Occurred: 2023-05-10 01:13 Local
Reported: 2023-08-11 17:01 Pacific
Duration: one second glimpse
No of observers: 1

Location: Chalamette, LA, USA
Location details: SW corner of Chalamette Battlefield, traveling East over the Mississippi River

Shape: Cylinder


Dark grey elongated tic tac

I was ghost hunting around the old house on the battlefield. My phone was recording video towards the house when something caught my eye over the river. I turned my head to see a large grey cylinder with round/dome ends flying along the northern bank of the Mississippi river, heading east. My phone was recording in the wrong direction. It took a second to realize what I saw. By then, it was gone. It was only about one second of visual. It was tic-tac shaped but longer than tic-tac renditions I've seen. It was the size of a commercial jet fuselage, dark or medium grey with no lights or sounds. Since it was nighttime, maybe it was medium grey and appeared darker. Hard to judge height and speed, but I'd say 200mph and 60 feet off the ground. I did not get to see it fly off into the distance. It went behind a large live oak tree and disappeared. I'm guessing it made a 90 degree turn to head south. But maybe it cloaked while it was flying behind the tree. The cloud ceiling was very low, heavy overcast, wind from the east. So it was flying into the wind. It was not crisp clear to my eyes. It was slightly blurry or soft focus. Fog/low clouds, combined with speed, and my eyes adjusting could explain why it wasn't super sharp looking. But I saw an artist rendition from a Nexus magazine article that shows the exact same thing, and it's a little blurry in that picture too. So maybe the propulsion or antigravity vibrates/bends the light around it.

To the west of Chalamette Battlefield are port terminals and Domino sugar. Maybe they caught it on cctv if cameras are facing the water. The time stamp on my phone when it was recording is 1:09am, but I don't know if the time is recorded at the beginning of the clip or the end. The clip is a few minutes long. So I estimated this happened at 1:13 or so.

Shape: Light


9 small star like objects moving at different times across night sky.

On Wednesday June 15, 2011, at approximately 8:38 PM central time, the ISS flew over from the WSW to NE.

About 8:50 PM a small star like object was spotted moving from the NE toward the S. The object was about as bright as a star though not as bright as one from a constellation. This was the first of nine similar objects.

The second and third objects appeared around 9:00 PM. One was headed N to S and the other S to N. moving away from each other. The fourth and fifth objects were seen around 9:15. One was moving SSE and the other was moving from W to E and the two objects intersected. The remainders of the objects were seen every few minutes until about 9:40 PM.

I checked the Heavens-Above website for satellites that may have been overhead but I didn’t see any listing for my area at that time. Hopefully that is all they were.

ROUND BLACK DISC HOVERING OVER CHALMETTE, LA

ON THE NIGHT OF OCTOBER 29, 2010, ABOUT 1;15 AM AFTER MIDNIGHT, I OBSERVED, WITH MY TELESCOPE THE MOON. THE MOON WAS FULL THAT NIGHT. AS I WAS LOOKING THRU THE TELESCOPE AT THE MOON, ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS A BLACK DISC SHAPED OBJECT. IT MOVED ACROSS THE LENS OF MY TELESCOPE. IT PASSED IN FRONT OF THE MOON, AS I WAS OBSERVING THIS EVENT.

THE LENS OF MY TELESCOPE IS 3 INCHES IN DIAMETER, SO THE MOON ALMOST COVERS THE LENS OF MY TELESCOPE. THE OBJECT THAT PASSED BETWEEN THE LENS OF MY TELESCOPE, IT WAS ALMOST 1/3 THE SIZE OF THE MOON. AS I WATCHED IT PASS SLOWLY, IT ALMOST BLOCKED THE VIEW OF THE MOON AS IT MOVED ACROSS THE FACE OF THE MOON SIDEWAYS.

I OBSERVED THIS DARK DISC FOR ABOUT ABOUT 15 SECONDS AS IT MOVED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. WHAT I BELIEVE THAT I SAW WAS SOMETHING VERY STRANGE AND ODD. AFTER I OBSERVED THIS STRANGE OBJECT, I WAS PUZZLED AS TO WHAT IT WAS THAT I HAD SEEN.




NUFORC Note:

We spoke via telephone with this witness, and he sounded quite convincing. PD
