I was at a local park to do some wind sprints for fitness training. I had arrived at the park around 20:00hrs and had just begun the workout, doing one sprint, and then while doing the recovery walk back to the starting point, I looked up into the night sky and saw a formation of three objects. I was facing north, and the objects, numbering three, were flying low, in formation, going from west to east. These objects were whitish, luminous, but not overly bright. In fact, if I had not been looking up, it is possible that I may not have noticed them. The objects were orbish in shape, luminous yet translucent, having a spectral aspect to them, and although the sighting was brief, it caused me to be very alarmed. The lights did not resemble airplane lights, but had a spectral, unnatural appearance to them. Alarmed, I walked quickly back to my vehicle and exited the park, as I felt threatened. They were low and, having read accounts of abduction by ufos, I did no! t wish to be added to the list of abductees. I was alone in the park, it was very dark, and I felt vulnerable upon seeing these objects. Also, there was no sound emitted by the objects as they flew overhead. This encounter left me shaken and anxious. Early the following morning, before dawn, many dogs in the neighborhood were uncharacteristically barking together. I was still jittery the following day, and had a very bad night's sleep after this encounter. Although I cannot recall the exact date or time, approximately two or three weeks earlier, my wife and I were returning from grocery shopping one evening, heading northbound on a street in Ingersoll, when we both noticed an unusual object in the night sky. It was approximately 22:00hrs. The object was an orangish orb, and it was maintaining a steady position approximately 200 feet above a subdivision. We observed it while driving closer to its position. I said that we should go into the subdivision so as to get a better look, and when we went into the subdivision, it disappeared from view. This earlier sighting was approximately one mile north of the second sighting, several weeks later. A few days before this sighting, my oldest son was having a cigarette on the patio before leaving for work in the morning. It would have been approximately 05:00hrs. While having the smoke, he heard a humming noise in the air above him, although he was unable to see anything that may have been making the noise. He went inside to tell my wife, but when they went outside together, the humming noise had stopped. As a background, I served four years as an auxiliary police officer and as a part-time jail guard. You are welcome to contact me for any more information that you may require, but please do not publish my name. Thank you.

Hello sir/madam/Mr. Davenport; I recently had dinner with friends. He (38 yrs) works for the local school board. His wife (34 yrs) is in retail management. Neither of them is a 'believer' in UFOs. During our dinner they told me of an incident that occurred in mid June. They were sitting by the fire in their yard after dinner. After some time, the husband noticed in the sky what he described as a 'V'. He said it looked almost like geese flying, in that the 'V' was so prominent, but that it wasn't geese, because it was way up in the sky, "at least as high as an airplane would be," he said. He also stated that although he couldn't see a "back edge" (completeing the triangle) he could tell it was more than just a "V" because he couldn't see the clouds through the area behind the "V". (I hope that makes sense). He and his wife both described the object as being "at least 10 times bigger than an airplane," and "dead silent". He told me that they both sat in their chairs, looking up at the object in disbelief and wonder. He stated that it appeared to "bending the atmosphere". They both stated that it was moving, but agreed that it was moving far too slowly to be anything they're ever seen before, and that as they sat there watching the object, it went from "barely moving" (for 8 - 10 seconds) to flying away faster than anything they'd ever seen, until it was out of sight (1 - 2 seconds). As I stated, neither of them are believers, yet have no guesses as to what they saw. They didn't say "maybe a satellite. Maybe a drone." They were just puzzled, and thinking/hoping I might have some answers. (I'm 'that guy' among our friends/family). My answer for them was to contact the fine folks at NUFORC and file a report, but it was obvious to me that they weren't going to do that. In fact, me mentioning it to them pretty much ended the discussion. Stigma, my guess. You know how it is. So, I thought the least I should do is inform you. For your records, and such. I have known the fellow for over 20 years. He isn't going to lie me about this, or anything else, to be honest. These are good, honest people. I hope this report is either helpful or useful, and at the very least, is not a waste of your time. I very much appreciate what you! *I will be filling out the contact info with my information. Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD
