Director's Message
It’s What Time of the Year?
So, I was sitting at my desk suffering a severe case of writer’s block, trying to determine a suitable topic for the December issue, which of course leads right to “the Holidays.” I was thinking about all the things that MUFON, the organization, has to be thankful for despite the difficulties we all have faced this year. This list can go on and on.
First and foremost, however, has got to be our members. From general membership to Board of Directors and everyone in between, this group is top-notch. That does not mean we don’t occasionally disagree with one another. We do, but with very few exceptions we can disagree without being disagreeable. Believe
me, that means a lot to any organization. Then there is the fresh,
bright atmosphere sweeping through MUFON, the growing interest on a
global scale, the impressive membership growth, the increased stature,
acceptance, and respect of our organization; as long as we “stay the
current course,” MUFON has a wonderfully bright future. As I stated,
this can go on and on, but then another thought popped into mind…right
after Thanksgiving comes…CHRISTMAS!!
Yep,
that’s right, in just a few weeks it will be upon us. And if you’re
like most of us, you dread trying to find just the right gift for
special people. Well, we may have a solution. Take a look at the MUFON
store. We have items of every price range and taste. At least for
Mufonians!
It’s
attractive, travels well and is quite warm. Despite its light weight,
if worn over a sweater it’s good for all but the harshest winter
weather. The MUFON zippered portfolio and the Shoe Caddy
are big hits as well. Both are emblazoned with the MUFON logo. The
portfolio can hold those precious field investigation notes, the latest
sighting reports; the caddy can hold not only your athletic shoes, but
travel supplies, snacks, and electronic gear. We have ladies’ t-shirts with the MUFON logo made of Swarovski crystal. (These
are HOT!) Additionally, we have a large selection of hats, masks and
gaiters. Finally, don’t forget the enormous selection of books we have
in the bookstore. And remember that if you want to order over the telephone, we will be most happy to work with you.
See there! We just made your shopping dilemma a little less stressful. And that in itself is one more thing to be grateful for.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good Flight!!

MUFON CASES by TOM KELLER |

"Pulsating Sphere" Sighted Near Sacramento
November 22, 2020; 9:00 PM Case 112504: Sevdie,
a high school student, and her two friends were outdoors in Elk Grove,
approximately 12 miles southeast of Sacramento, California. At first,
the object seemed to be a ”big, bright light”, but too big to be a
star. It appeared to be a small sphere inside a larger sphere. The whole
object pulsated, glowed, vibrated and seemed to be transparent. In her
report, Sevdie described it as being white, but in her description, it
was also “with
vivid hints of red and maybe blue or green”. The three witnesses
watched the object for approximately one hour at about 2° above the
horizon. As can be seen from Sevdie’s photograph below, the object had
“fuzzy edges”. In her report, Sevdie stated that the object was
stationary; however, the video reveals that the object had a random
movement but stayed within the camera’s field of view. There was an
aircraft in the vicinity both before and after the sighting. Stevie’s screenshot is shown below: |
|
Sevdie’s description of the event follows: “Looking
almost straight ahead, a big bright light [appeared and was] too big to
be a star [or] planet and too stationary and round to be a plane. At
first, it looked like a big bright star, but it [was] too big and close
to be in space. In the video, [as I] zoomed in there [was] a round,
smaller sphere within a larger less opaque sphere. In the video, when
[I] zoomed in, the outside looked like it was pulsating and with vivid
hints of red and maybe blue or green.” November 13, 2020; 8:30 PM Case 112260: The
Elk Grove, California, sighting described above is similar to Case
112260 which occurred nine days earlier over Charlotte, North
Carolina. The main witness, David, and his two friends observed the
apparently random movements of what they described as a yellow-orange
“sphere”. Viewing their video, the object appears to be a bluish-white
color with an irregular internal coloration. There appeared to be a
similar “sphere” inside the outer sphere. The object was at 70° above
the horizon, pulsated and appeared to spin. Five minutes later, the
object hovered in place. David’s zoomed screenshot of the object is
below. |
|
| The following is David’s description of their sighting: “When
I first observed the object, I thought it might be Saturn. Then, I
observed seemingly random movement, but thought it could be a trick of
the eye. [I] pointed it out to my girlfriend, Tami, we watched a bit
[and] did determine it was moving. We were then joined by a neighbor,
Scott, who also observed the same. After about five minutes of motion,
it remained stationary. Then, low flying jets coming from the northeast
began to fly over. [W]e counted 11 and heard another after we went back
inside. All these jets appeared to be the same. They were flying to the
southeast, but didn’t seem to be on an intercept path flying low. We
guessed [that] they may be military. After 45 minutes, we went back
inside to view videos taken on the television. I was astonished to see
what I did. [We] went back outside, [and] the object was gone.” Case Disposition (Cases 112260 and 112504): Assigned (to MUFON field investigators) These cases are under investigation by MUFON and do not yet have a determination as to their authenticity. |
