Wesley Chapel, FL - July 17, 2009
MUFON Case # 18256.At
11:42 pm 7/17/2009, my neighbor knocked
on my door. It was unusual because it
was really late so I thought it was an
emergency.
She said
"sorry to bother you so late, but my
husband is in the back yard looking at
some weird lights in the sky and thought
you might want to see them too." I then
said "ok, I'm out back right now."
I then
opened up my sliding glass door to go to
the lanai and I looked up in the eastern
sky at about 45 degrees, or the 1
o'clock position, and saw a triangular
object in the sky moving from left to
right and back left and up and down and
it surely didn't look like anything I've
ever seen in my life.
I then
ran back into the house to wake up my
wife, who is the biggest ufo skeptic
that I know, and said "Wake up! Wake up!
You've got to come outside and see this
thing!!" She said "No, I've to go to
sleep, I have to work in the morning!" I
preceded to say "You have to see this
thing in the sky, just trust me, you
have to come out and see this!" I then
looked for our camera, a casio exilim
10.1 mega pixel camera, and went back
outside with my dog and started
recording footage of this thing in the
sky.
I walked
over to my neighbors house and we, three
of us, watched this thing for 2 and a
half hours. My neighbor had binoculars
and a telescope, but it was easier to
use the binoculars to see the silohuette
of this object. It was moving in
different patterns, but generally stayed
in the eastern sky moving from left to
right in a pendulum type pattern, but it
would also moved westward a little bit,
but still remained at the 1 o'clock to
1:30 position in the sky.
If you
held a dime towards the sky, the size
was a little smaller than the dime. It
seemed to be about 1000-3000 feet in the
sky hovering over I-75 near SR 54. The
feelings I felt was "what the heck is
that?" We sat on some chairs and watched
this thing for a couple hours. I started
to feel really sleepy so I went back
inside the house to go to sleep, but I
kept checking out my window because I
wanted to see where this thing will go
once it's done hovering over Wesley
Chapel, FL.
I found
my other battery that was fully charged
so I went back outside for a few more
minutes and fimed one more video. I
don't know what we saw, but it wasn't a
plane. Matter of fact, we saw 2 planes
fly by that night, one was flying from
East to Southwest. We heard the sounds
of the engines as it came closer to us
and as it flew past us. The sounds were
evident even when the plane seemed to be
further to us than the triangular object
in the sky. The next plane fly past us
from South to North and you could also
hear it as it flew past us. But this
object made no sounds at all. The night
sky was very clear and there was no or
very little wind that night.
