When Memory Turns To Fantasy?

I know that it may be hard for die-hard Clockers to accept that I put most of my UFO updating effort recently and perhaps for good to my Subreddit called Strange State UFO - so, please bookmark that TOO at least; especially if you want the latest in 1st person UFO reports (nearly all via MUFON). You also need to make sure to check the sidebar for my State UFO updates as they will have some GREAT content often.

Anyway, in digging through two cases to MUFON very recently I came across something to share with my loyal Clockers/readeres at UDCC. First, I bring to you a `Strange' UFO report and then a bit of real UFO blogging afterwards.

1996 Idaho Springs Colorado UFO Report

1995 or 1996 Friends invited me to go camping. We lived in Idaho Springs, Colorado and worked at the Indian Hot Springs Resort as maintenance director. We were above the hot Springs on a hill. Too many rocks by fire, could not sleep so moved under pine tree to lay on softer ground. I was awakened by what felt like a dogs cold nose in my ear and herd what sounded like hoofs running away. I got up to take a leak and saw what looked like a falling star at first in distance. However it did not burn out, or hit the ground and headed right toward me. As it grew nearer it grew larger and larger. The brightest and whitest light I had ever seen. It was a sphere like the moon with no dark spots. It Onstopped right in front of me and right over my head. Again it was huge and I was frozen stiff. It made a very low pitched noise like a rumble. I closed one eye as they trained me in the military for aerial flairs because the lite was sooo very bright. The sound stated to go away when I herd more loud sound and here came 3 fighter jets in formation They were so low and the jet in front banked right between myself and this object. I could see the silo wet of the pilot. and the UFO took off like a bullet, made the jets look like they were standing still. I think I was in shock and sat on a rock. My friends sleep through the who thing. I sat there never moving till they woke. I told them what happened and of course the laughed and asked what I was smoking. The next morning my friends came to me at work with a copy of the Denver Post and it was all over the front page. bright lite in sky seen from Mexico to Colorado where they said it made a left turn and went west threw Nevada, California, and disappeared heading out to the pacific. It has haunted all these years but all info on my siting seems to have vanished. I have found only a few such descriptions from the past that are similar. In the bible and a astrologer who was apparently famous in his day from Europe I believe during the Renaissance period. I now have a very bad cataract on my right eye only, broke myself up some and am disabled and also have advanced cancer and am desperate for come confirmation and or closure. I am awake allot nights and can't sleep and on clear night look to the stars for a return. I have always had a feeling it sought me out and the jets chased it away.I long to return to the site but am so poor I can barely pay attention let alone afford to go back. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the face of it - this is the prototypical `Neighborhood' UFO experience simply placed in the desert....impossible object, comes close and hovers, nearly instantly vanishes. Nothing new. Indeed, the `fighter jets' is also not new but is not part of the ordinary... but, again.... does it make ANY sense that THE FRIENDS WOULDN'T HAVE WOKEN UP if the total event was REAL? It seems, as I've said before many times, that the `fighter jet' `military copter' simply seems an embedded part of the total UFO perception.

But, none the less - I knew the MUFON database is searchable back through 1995 - so I searched for 95-97 and Colorado - and NOTHING shows up to suggest the Denver Post coverage - let alone I certainly don't remember reports by the MSM in 96 about left turning UFOs. One can SAY anything.

But, I did find one thing when I searched Colorado 95-97 - a REAL strange `UFO' picture submitted with a report from Submitted on Jan 18th, 2014 about a UFO event on Aug. 10th, 1995 - the above report submitted with this picture below:

========================================================================

So, nothing at MUFON to confirm this huge sighting known to many and nothing at the Denver Post search I did - however my Google search did yield something I had largely forgotten - that the Denver Airport was built about then and had a huge Conspiracy Theory tied to it.

=================================

Oh, you can expect an update link right here as on Strange UFO Stories - I've been doing some digging into another similar UFO tale, one with checkable details... come back later. It will tie into the Memories Into Fantasies Idea.

Citizen Claims Triangle UFO Experience Seen By Multiple Witnesses Was Days Before Roswell (Latest MUFON Reports)

It's a darn good story to tell for sure - wouldn't it be nice for any of the others to come forward? Supposedly happened in Corona Long Island, New York. (BTW, FYI, Kenneth Arnold was 6/24 and Roswell was 7/7 or thereabouts.
http://mufoncms.com/cgi-bin/report_handler.pl?req=view_long_desc&id=52691

This event occurred in 1947, I was 16 years old. A friend and I were sitting across the street from a tavern when suddenly we saw 5 bright white lights coast into view and hovered above the tavern. It was triangle in shape. We were both stunned wondering what this could be. The white lights turned from white to dark red. They pulsated 7-8 times and turned into a bright red. Than the color changed to a dark green and again pulsated 7-8 times and turned to a bright green; than they returned back to white. We wanted to get a better look, but were afraid to go near it. Someone just outside of the tavern saw it and before we knew it a group of 6 adults were looking. They were directly under it looking up at it. We heard and adult say, "what is it and what is keeping it up there?" and another adult say, "sh listen." "Listen to what?" was the response. We were about to cross the street to join the others when suddenly, this thing took off from zero to infinity in 4 seconds. I told my parents about the event and they just laughed at it. Two days later, my Pop came home with a paper talking about the flying saucer that crashed in the desert of Arizona. My friend called me and asked, "Do you think that is what we saw?" At that time I had never heard of flying saucers or UFOs. It has puzzled me over the years and I know what I saw and experienced. It was real.

========================================================================

While UFO shapes have been of all kinds - the Triangle shape was quite rare in the early UFOlogy perceptions. Makes me wonder if this is a substituted memory. Wouldn't it be nice if this event had at least a real second point of view?

MOTHER AND SONS AMAZING UFO SIGHTING IN VERMONT

1982 ...WINOOSKI RIVER VALLEY VERMONT

In 1982, I was 12 years old. One evening that winter, near the holidays, my mother woke me up from a deep sleep at 2am. She was freaking out, and wanted me to verify that she wasn't crazy.  Our home in Vermont is located high on the East side of the Winooski River Valley. From my bedroom window, there is a beautiful 20 mile view across the valley towards Camel's Hump. About 8 miles away down in that river valley there is a hydro-power dam. At the time it was under construction and there was a large crane at the site. During the holidays they hung a array of lights on the crane tower to look like a Christmas tree. We could see that from our house.  So, what had my mother so scared? There was a light hovering over the dam, and it was changing colors. Red, blue, green, white, red again. It was moving back and forth ever so slowly, and occasionally would "bounce" up and down. I was an aircraft freak even at that age and mom wanted to know if I knew what it was. I didn't. From our vantage point, it was impossible to tell if it was something moving on the mountain side beyond the river or if it was between us and the far side of the valley, but it sure looked like it was moving over the lights on the crane.  My mother called the BTV airport and asked them if anyone else was calling in about this mysterious light in the valley. Of course, they pretty much thought she was a crazy lady and said that nothing was amiss. They did, however, give her the number to our nearest military installation, Plattsburgh Air Base (closed in 1992). So, at my behest, she called them and told the same story. You guessed it - same result. "You're crazy lady!".

It was a crystal clear night, so we returned to the window to watch this object some more. Within five minutes something unexpected happened.  From the opposite side of the valley several aircraft popped up over the ridge in formation and headed down the valley. We could see their collision lights with the familiar red, green and white strobes. I figured military, of course, but wondered about the response time. Plattsburgh is at least 50 miles away by air, so it is possible they could cover that distance under full military power if they had been on the ready line when we called...or, had they already been on the way?  The jets got to within two miles or so of the mysterious object when it suddenly brightened, turned white, and went straight up. Fast. It disappeared into the night sky effortlessly. We continued to watch for several more minutes as the jets did a few orbits, then returned the way they came. With that, we called it a night.  Others in my high school saw the event or heard the jets, but we never saw anything in the news. I'll probably never know, but it definitely helped form the opinions I have today about our visitors from other worlds.

`Curious And Confused' (Latest MUFON Reports)

The on-going totally befuddling Neighborhood UFO continues to draw articulate descriptions of crafts, curiosity and often, fear. The account below happened yesterday in Clayton/Trotwad Ohio and involved.... well, I'll let the account speak for itself:

I was driving to a friends house. As I rounded the bend towards UDF on 49, I noticed what seemed to be one extremely pure white light sitting stationary in the air. I sat at the red light watching to see if there would be any movement, but there was none. The proceeded to turn green and I drove towards the neighborhood. I slowed down after crossing the intersection to observe the object. As I drew closer, I realized that it was two white lights instead of one. The two lights sat fairly close to each other. The lights were attached to one side of a dark colored triangle with rounded corners sitting perfectly still, not even 300 feet above the driving range. There were 3-4 red blinking lights that were closer to the inside of the triangle, rather than on the points as most UFO sightings. I wondered to myself what kind of aircraft would be sitting so close to ground at 9 oclock at night? It was so close, I could see some texture on the bottom of it (i.e. indentations and protrusions). I had a CD playing, but not loudly, so if it was as loud as an airplane, I would have heard it. I heard nothing. I tried to watch it still as I turned into the neighborhood, only to look away for literally one second to look into my rearview mirror and it was gone. For some reason, I did not think to pull out my phone and record it or take a picture. I would not have anyway because it was frightening seeing something that you do not recognize. I told myself that it was probably just an airplane and I would tell my parents about it when I got back home. I mentioned it to my friend once I reached his house and he jokingly but not jokingly said it was probably a UFO. Honestly, while I looked at it, I was more or less in awe, curious and confused. But afterwards, I began to get nervous as I did not want to believe that it was anything besides an airplane as I described it to my family and they decidedly told me that it indeed was not an airplane.

And, how about March 15th, 1971 in Surf City, New Jersey:

pre or post seashore season- unusually warm evening in Mar/Oct 1970?- Rode cycles to sea shore- Standing on sand dunes of Surf City, Long Beach Island, N.J. @20 yards from surf line- dark (@10:30-11:00 PM) upper cloud over, no stars etc.- tide in- desolate- I was one of four cyclists from city of Camden, N.J.- one of whoms parent owned a summer house(currently closed-up until season) one block from this beach- I made a comment about our apparent desolation!- to which one friend said while nodding to the North: "somebodys here?" Looking North @300-400 yards up the beach, we observed a greenish light appear near the waterline? it lasted for a second or more then went out . . . repeating again, and again, as though someone with a flashlight (military, green filter) was walking down the beach in our direction while staying out of the breaking waves water line? we thought! Until the light approached our relative position, near enough to see no one shineing a flashlight, just the geenish, circle of light! I quickly assumed, and said: "its probably a really large firefly" and left the group on the sand dunes, to see for myself! Timing my approach to the lights on/off sequence,(about 5 human strides per flash),I was able to peer into the next, moving south (circular, @3 feet in diameter, bright, greenish-yellow light) and observed nothing more than a brightly lit, visible moving waterline, sand, sea shell fragments, etc. Incredulously I marveled aloud while looking skyward for its source . . . a beam,a sound? "Can you guys see a beam?" "No" came an answer followed by "Get into the light!" "No!" I replied while following along (striding) for 2 or 3 more southward flashes before peeling off and going back to our sand dune perch. The soundless, beamless light was watched for as long as it could be seen, going down the beach, southward, seemingly staying just out of the Atlantic Ocean.
