In The House of Leviathan - By Bestselling Author, B.D. Bruns

Recently, it seems the horror genre has been overrun with teen melodrama. Just google "why Twilight is bad" to get a sense of the disdain (my personal favorite is from The Oatmeal).

Bestselling author, B.D. Bruns wants to know, "what happened to just plain scary?"

In his new book, In The House of Leviathan, Bruns avoids the overdone teen drama and instead relies on classic gothic elements to create tension and terror.  “Mainstream horror has gone so mainstream that it isn’t scary anymore,” says Bruns. “Glittering teenage vampires aren’t even intended to be scary. But, classics like Bram Stoker’s Dracula, now that was terrifying. The difference is that Stoker embraced the unknown. I hope that readers of In The House of Leviathan find my embrace of the unknown to be equally thrilling.”

Set in an Italian paper mill during the 1860s , In The House of Leviathan follows Giuseppe, a humble man working in the mill, who witnesses Old Man Grapaldi summoning the Devil. Omens from the sea threaten the village and bizarre, violent happenings at their mill threaten his family. With their church rocked by inner turmoil and so many good men succumbing to dark secrets, Giuseppe himself must overcome his fears and his physical handicap to save his beloved sister.

Throughout the pages of In The House of Leviathan, readers can expect:

A reinvigoration of the classic horror and gothic genre.

Vivid imagery transporting readers to Italy’s exotic Amalfi Coast.

A connection between our greatest fictional thrills and the exotic history of the real world.

A throwback to masterfully built tension, believable characters with rich backgrounds and plot complexity informed by real world experiences.


Adventurer B. D. Bruns has traveled to over 50 countries to gather material for his bestselling books. He’s won 19 national and international book awards, including three national Book of the Year awards. Bruns’ first fiction book, The Gothic Shift (2014) won the International Book Awards Best Short Story Collection.

He also contributes to Yahoo Travel, BBC, CNN, The Daily Beast, and The Travel Channel.

Bruns’ travel adventures span from entering the Pyramids of Giza and swimming in the Panama Canal to climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro and touring Torture Museums in Estonia.

He has attended ceremonies from the descendants of cannibals in the South Pacific and has been consulted by a ghost tour in Malta. After residing in Dracula’s hometown for several years, Bruns moved to Las Vegas with his Romanian wife, where they live with two cats, Julius and Caesar.

Insisting that a ghostly presence killed them he asks a gifted spiritualist, Robert Brandon, to find the paranormal killer but as the dead return to tell of ghosts, demons, seduction and murder, Robert discovers a horror more real than any ghost story.

He communicates with the deceased to piece together the family's darkest secret, untangling lies and confusion, he becomes a target for the very darkness that tore the family apart.

"A Chilling Story that will CURL YOUR TOES" Haunted Magazine

As a horror fan, "Tied In Blood" was a creepy surprise, as I really enjoyed the film.

I do agree with many who saw the movie, it did feel a bit like a mystery, but with haunting ghosts who freaked me out during the show, you can't go wrong.

It had me jumping a few times during the movie, which says a lot.

The story was well written and the acting was really good, the director done a fantastic job.

I would recommend picking up "Tied In Blood" if you are a real horror fan, add it to your collection today.

Orange Light Observed Over Lake In The Hills Illinois

 

Date:  March 17, 2012

Time:  11:30 p.m.

 

Number of witnesses: 4

Number of Objects: 1

Shape of Objects: Flare type of shape.

 

Full Description of Event/Sighting: We were outside with neighbors late last night and saw an orange light, almost looked like an orange flare going through the sky.

 

There were two airplanes also in the sky in different directions. You could clearly see the orange flare was not an airplane.

The object was moving I believe north and seemed to be going straight across at a slow speed. The light didn't flicker, was constant glow.

 

It was not falling downwards either. Unfortunately I didn't have my cell phone with me to try to take a picture.

 

If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at: sighting@telus.net with the details of your sighting. All personal information is kept confidential.

Large White Sphere UFO Darts In And Out Of The Clouds Over Richmond Indiana

 

Date:  June 2011 (?)

Time:  4:40 p.m.

 

Number of witnesses: 3

Number of Objects: 1

Shape of Objects: Sphere.

 

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I just got off of work and was driving home, for some reason I looked left out the window. I saw a large sphere, completely white, so I had to assume it was a sphere.

 

It was really sunny and windy with a moderate amount of clouds. The clouds were moving west, and this object was moving in the other direction, away from the clouds. I pulled my car over and off the road and stopped to looked at it.

 

About 5 minutes it changed direction and went back into the clouds, then moved back out in view again then went back in the clouds. I then drove home, a ten minute drive. I called my mother to tell her.

 

As I was talking to her I went out to the backyard, my kids followed me, and as I looking towards the area I first saw it, it moved out of the clouds! Myself and my kids saw it! Then it moved into the clouds again and ! I never saw it again.

This is not the only case I've had. My ex-wife and I were sitting in the backyard, it was night time, all the stars were visible with no clouds what-so-ever.

 

Something moved across the sky, silently, blocked the view stars. Whatever it was it was large and long, as if it was a sea-going ship. It was directly overhead and took about 10 minutes to traverse the sky. It had no lights, and the only way you could see it was the outline because it blocked the stars!

 

The air seemed to have a smell, like ozone when electricity arcs.

Mesa, Arizona : A 7-8 Foot Tall Male Humanoid In The Bedroom

Posted: June 2, 2009

Date: April 25-26, 2009
Time: 9:15 p.m. 7:00 a.m.

Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1 confirmed
Shape of objects: I could see no object in the sky. See description for the humanoid.
Weather Conditions: Full moon-lit night, not cloudy. Second incident occurred in my bedroom.

Description: On April 25, 2009, around 9:15pm my mother called me outside in our backyard where she claimed to see several objects in the sky. She never gave me any other descriptions of the objects except for that they gyrated. I looked up and saw a quick white flash in the sky. It occurred again one minute later. Since nothing else happened, I went back inside and went to bed.

The next morning, it was around 7:00am when I woke up on my right side and was paralyzed in all parts of my body. Suddenly, I felt a gentle poke on my lower back and I got a vibrating sensation throughout my body. I could not speak and I was able to breathe out "Who are you?". I felt tension release off my neck and I turned around to see a 7-8ft tall male humanoid with pale white skin and long blonde hair. He had no eye pupils, just pure white eyes and was wearing a silvery jumpsuit. I noticed that he had four fingers instead of five on his hands. It was then that I started struggling to get free. This lasted for about two minutes until the vibrating sensation stopped and I was able to move.

The figure was gone and the strange thing was that I locked my door from the inside the night before and it was still locked the next morning. My sister told me that my room just had a weird feeling afterwards and this lasted for about two hours. I did not feel that this being was trying to hurt me but rather wanted to tell me something.

San Francisco Embarcadero Pier Two Orb Shaped Objects Pause In The Sky

Posted: June 2, 2009

Date: June 1, 2009
Time: 2:30 a.m.

It was yesterday morning around 2:30am. I was sitting on the San Francisco Embarcadero Pier. It lasted about ten seconds. I was facing east with the Bay Bridge off to my right. Looking straight ahead I saw a small orb-shaped light move extremely quickly, north to south paralleling the skyline. It paused for a second. Then a second similarly shaped object came from the south. They paused together for a second, then disappeared east. They were both far away so I can't give a detailed description, sorry. It was nothing like I'd ever seen though. Was as fast as a shooting star, but they didn't have tracers...and didn't move straight and was way faster than any airborne craft I'd ever seen. Have you heard any similar reports? Thanks.

Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

Galveston, Texas UFO Was Diamond In Shape

Posted: May 13, 2009

Date: February 7, 2009
Time: 10:00 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Shape of light was diamond shape.
Weather Conditions: Clear skies.

Description: I was laying on a basketball court in a neighborhood park of East Galveston. I was laying face up looking at the stars when I noticed a bright star blinking and moving a bit. I kept staring at it for several more minutes and I noticed it was moving from one place in the horizon to another. Then I realized it was not a star and it was in the atmosphere at a high altitude.

After about 15 minutes of staring at that one diamond shaped white light, I saw a colored light moving across the horizon. This light was lower in altitude but further away closer to the coast.

After about 30 minutes of staring at the lights, I went and got my girlfriend from the home and I told her to look into the sky and see the lights.

She saw both lights moving but she was not intrigued. She said she didn't know what it was and really did not care. I proceeded to call 911 to make a report. The operator said she would send a patrol unit to my location so I could identify the light.

I waited for about 15 minutes and then went home. That was the end of my sighting.

TV/Radio: I called 911 and provided the details of my sighting.

Missing Time In New York

Posted: April 1, 2009

Date: June 15, 1956
Time: 2:00 p.m.

Weather Conditions: Warm - sunny

Description: I was 12 and I lived in the country. I always went out in the woods with my loyal dog, who stood by me always. We were enjoying nature- there was a creek in the pasture behind the house. I tried to catch salamanders and crayfish. One of these days we were at the creek and for no reason I appeared in another part of the woods and my dog was nowhere by me. It was getting dark (I always stayed close to the house.) I hollered for my dog and eventually he came running to me. I didn't know where I was - the woods smelled different. I followed the sun so I could get a direction home - what a surprise- I had to cross a road and climb a barbed wire fence to get back - I was terrified! I had always stayed close to home and had no explanation of being in a place I'd never seen or been before and to have my dog away from me. Of course I was young and didn't think anything of it.

Then six years later I was driving home on a dark lonely road, coming from the city, and I never drank of smoked!- anyhow, when I got close to home ( it was almost 11 pm) and living in the country you only have a few roads to travel on, it was very dark and I was anxious to get home. I remember passing a road that was only a little way from my turn off.

The next thing I see is me in my car at a stop sign and it is very foggy, I didn't recognize the name on the sign. I turned right and tried to recognize something, I estimate that I was 35 miles from my home and it was so late - I found a main road and headed back home.

You know, I have a message - if you are going to take us, at least put us back where you found us!

So, do you think I should explore this further?

I moved from NY to AZ so I wouldn't be afraid anymore - and so far it has worked!

Thank you to UFOINFO for this report. http://www.ufoinfo.com/

UFO Stops And Moves In A Circular and Zig Zag Movement Over Louisiana

Posted: March 22, 2009

Date: March 21, 2009
Time: 11:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Louisiana.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Light speck.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: It appeared to be moving in a straight path at a steady speed, so I assumed immediately that it was a satellite. To my amazement it picked up speed dramatically. Stop and did circular, zigzag, rapid movements in a fixed area in the sky. By this time I had already called my brother to come out onto the roof as we observed this 'object' for the next 30 minutes.

Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

UFO Hovers Over The Road In Temple, Pennsylvania

Posted: March 8, 2009

Date: March 7, 2009
Time: 12:02 a.m.

Location of Sighting: Temple, PA.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Triangular.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was with my girlfriend as she was driving on Kutztwon Road, when she spots this object hovering pretty low heading towards our direction. So she pulls the car over on the road. The object was hovering slowly across Kutztown Rd in front of us. As it hovers across Kutztown road this object is making no sound what so ever. It eventually hovered to the right of us, as I was on the passenger side. There I had the best view of the sighting. It's light's that where bright white or yellow star-ish looking, made a triangle. While on the bottom of the triangle next to the bright white light's on one side was a red light the other was a blue and it was hovering pretty low making no sound. At that time the object was moving south so we decided to follow it, the object started heading towards Muhlenberg Elementary and Muhlenberg High School. It hovered so low, that the UFO seemed to be behind the school's. There we followed it until the road ended and we couldn't follow it no more. I was in shock, I would've never thought I would have seen something like that in my life.

Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

Date: March 3, 2009
Time: Approx: 9:30 p.m.

I am sending this in for my friend (name removed)

The sighting was over Frankfort Michigan Tuesday March 3rd, 2009 at approximately 930pm and lasted for about an hour. He saw this same thing about a week before. It was oblong in shape tapered in each end he says it seemed to have 6 windows (through binoculars) red, green, white and blue lights blinked it zig and zagged and hovered. A brighter spot like type light came out of the bottom of it for a short time. He does have it on a digital camera and I have downloaded it to my computer. He doesn't believe in this sort of thing, but says he does now. I am going to let him borrow my video recorder that has an awesome zoom power in it and can be put on a tri-pod if he sees it again.

Thank you to the person for relating their friend's sighting.

Borough Park Section Of Brooklyn, New York UFOs Moving In Various Formation

Posted: February 17, 2009

Date: February 12, 2009
Time: Approx: 8:00 p.m.

Brian, I just read the report of a sighting on the L.I.E. on Feb. 9th. I have two teenaged grandchildren who independently witnessed something unusual in the sky above the Borough Park section of Brooklyn a couple of nights later. On Thursday Feb. 12th at approx. 8:00 pm, my thirteen year old grand-daughter and a group of her friends observed three or four enormous orange lights in the sky moving in various formations, sometimes in unison, sometimes seemingly separately, and their source apparently changed altitude at various points, as well. This lasted for over an hour. At around 9:00 pm, her sixteen year old brother and his friends observed the same phenomena five or six blocks away. They were astounded by what they saw, and said that it was unlike any other such lights they had ever encountered. There was absolutely no sound. When I suggested that it might have been a police helicopter in the clouds, both youngsters rejected this explanation. The size of the lights alone was much greater than those of any such ordinary craft.

Have you received any similar reports of this event?

Haiku Maui Hawaii UFO Looked Like A Cross Or Diamond In Shape

Posted: February 12, 2009

Date: February 11, 20098
Time: 8:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Haiku.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Like a cross or diamond.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I saw a bright light over the sky in Haiku on February 11, 2009 at about 8:00 or 9:00 o'clock. I was completely sober at the time. It hovered for about 2 hours and moved very slowly until it was below the tree-line and out of my vision. I called my friend and told him and he didn't believe me, but then he called me back and said he saw the same bright light over the west Maui's. Problem was that the light I was looking at was nowhere near the west Maui's. So I'm kind of amazed and confused.

Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

UFO Lights Up Bedroom In Marianna, Florida

Posted: February 10, 2009

Date: January 27, 2009
Time: 3:00 a.m.

My boyfriend and I were in bed when I witnessed a light in the window. My boyfriend saw it as well and it continued to come closer/get brighter until it lit up the entire pitch black room. Then it simply disappeared. This light was just like the light described above. Another similarity is that we both heard nothing, as if everything in the house was turned off. There is no access to this window from outside, and our home is surrounded by trees. There was not a break in the light as if passing through trees, not a noise suggesting it might be a helicopter with a spot light. Nothing.

Thank you to the witness for their report.

UFO Over Sabre Springs San Diego, California - Amber Lights In A Huge Circle

Posted: February 9, 2009

Date: February 4, 2009
Time: 5:55 a.m.

Location of Sighting: San Diego, CA.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Round.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was sitting out having a smoke and my morning coffee. My place is in Sabor Springs and it was still dark when suddenly I saw a huge ball of light coming over the mountain towards where I was. So I got up and walked a few steps in the middle of my backyard to get a better view and by then it was right there to the side of me up in the sky. I saw then a big round circle of amber lights, this time close up. I could see little amber lights all in the huge circle. Not only that there was a big circle of red lights right behind it, it looked connected to the circle of amber lights. I was looking so carefully to see some kind of a body on the thing, but I could not. One more thing, it made a noise, sort of like a blimp, but it was not a blimp at 6 o'clock in the morning and I would say that these round lights were as big as at least half a football field. I am 58 years old and when this light came over the mountain, well I never in my life saw anything that big and bright before. No news of this anywhere, but this is true believe me my mother does. I ran in and woke her up after I saw it.

Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

Shenandoah National Park, Virginia Frightening Sound/UFOs/Alien Abduction/Men In Black

Posted: February 8, 2009

Date: Mid 1970's
Time: Approx: 10:00 p.m.

I also want to say what a great job you have done and how much your efforts are appreciated. As (very) partial repayment, I'm forwarding my one and only significant story. The short version of which involves myself and my best friend from my teenage years (mid-1970's; I'm also an "old" guy...) on a backpacking trip in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia, which we did fairly frequently during those years. Two mildly unusual events occurred one evening after dark when we were camped in a very remote off-trail area. In the early evening (just after dark) there was an extremely high amount of static electricity, so much so that we could create persistent "glowing circles" on our insulating sleeping pads by rubbing them rapidly in circles with our hands. At the time, this just seemed pretty 'neat', and we dismissed it (I had never seen this before (or since). While in the tent, a few hours later, maybe 10PM, we had a candle lit and were talking.

Suddenly a sound occurred, close by, that I have tried to best describe as maybe 2 yodelers working in conjunction, sort of slow-modulating a more-rapidly modulated sound up and down (this definitely sounded living, and not mechanically-created). It was so odd that both my friend and I initially started laughing, and then suddenly became terrified (within about a 1 second interval) when we realized that no human (not even 2 professional yodelers) could not have been making the sound we were hearing and that this was not a human or any normal animal for the area (I still remember the rapid expression change from laughter to terror on my friend's face - wish I had a videotape of both of us at that instant - something to laugh about today).

Anyway, we immediately blew out the candle and lay quiet. As odd as it sounds, we both then fell asleep after what seemed a fairly short while (no more noises occurred during that time period and I recall we both fell asleep with our knives held in our hands). So far, and for many years, this was the entire story and I thought no more of it, except to try and find out what may have made that sound (I had always assumed an animal, and it still could be.)

Part 2 of this is that my friend's family moved to Florida later that year, and we gradually lost contact with each other for the next several years. I had gone to college and he had sort of drifted all around the U.S., doing everything from odd jobs such as house painting in the South and California to working on ranches in Montana. As I understand it, he did a lot of hitch-hiking to get from place to place and was often camping alone in remote areas during his travels. I spoke with him around 1986 or 1987 after he had returned to Florida and he was a very different person - basically primarily talking about aliens, having been abducted while hitchhiking at night in the desert Southwest, etc.

One thing that really was interesting to me in hindsight was that he described in great detail being currently (at that time) watched on multiple separate occasions by the classic 'Men in Black' at his parent's house in Florida, though he was totally unaware of the term at that time or that it was a 'known' phenomena (his voice was shaking when he described them, black car, black suits, sunglasses, sometimes parked on the far side of the street in front of his house). I had read a Budd Hopkins book in the last year or so and actually informed him at that time of the term 'Men in Black' (he had never heard of it) and also told him to look into reading the Hopkins book (I think it was Missing Time). After this time period, we sort of again lost contact and I haven't been in real contact with him since.

Part 3 About 4 or so years ago, his younger brother contacted me primarily for other reasons when he was traveling in my area. The continuation of the above story is that his brother is now completely "unemployable" as he will be apparently fine for short periods but will then go off into seemingly crazy conversations/discourses about aliens/UFO's, etc. (fine under some circumstances, but not well-received in most workplace environments). He has also had some health conditions, which may or may not have been correlated to the other experiences.

Part of what has kept me interested in this area is my friend's experience, as well as the continuing, cumulative 'preponderance of evidence' from all the other ongoing reports, sightings, etc. What has made me more recently interested in the early backpacking experience in connection with everything else was, in part, aspects of your 1000 Oaks, California report, in combination with my friends later unfortunate experiences through the years.

I just want to say thanks again to you and good luck with everything.

Thank you to the person for a very interesting report.

45 Miles North Of Owyhee, Nevada In Idaho Fighter Jets Shoot At UFO Ash Falling

Posted: February 3, 2009

Date: February 21, 2008 Time: Approx: 7:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: about 45 miles North of Owyhee, NV in Idaho. Number of witnesses: 2 Number of objects: ? Shape of objects: Behind a cloud.

Full Description of event/sighting: My Husband was driving our truck pulling our travel trailer and I was following driving our car. We were headed South on Idaho Highway 51 which becomes Nevada Highway 225 at the state border. We were about 45 miles North of Owyhee, Nevada. It was February 21, 2008, approximately 7:00 PM. We had passed the junction towards Mountain Home Airforce Base, Idaho about 40 miles back. Suddenly up and to my left were two bright glowing lights (flares I believe) drifting my direction. At first before I had time to reason out that they were only flares, I got scared. I hate to drive anyway and especially at night, so I began to flash my lights repeatedly at my Husband to get him to pull over. He did pull off on the first side road that we came to (on the left, East-side of the highway).

There hadn't been anyone else on the highway that night (even though the main road from Idaho, South down to Wells, Nevada, was closed due to a 6.0 Earthquake that very morning). After we had stopped, we stood outside and watched the flares just as we had watched the Lunar Eclipse one (or two?) nights prior. As we watched the sky, there began other activity behind a cloud. It appeared to be a few more flares. We could see the orange lights in motion behind the cloud. Then it got scary. A couple of jets came from the West really fast and really low. They made sonic booms that vibrated through us. They went to that area behind the cloud, where we couldn't see, and fired on something.

They quickly flew back over us headed the way they had come. Then, two more jets, while we could still see the first two jets lights going away from us, did exactly the same. Sonic booms and what we believe were weapons being fired. That second time there was a huge, huge boom and at the same time it turned momentarily daytime ! Seconds later, two more jets (maybe the first two again ?) went around the other side of the cloud and came back West. From the area in the sky where all the activity was, there came down mostly orange colored streaks and irregular shaped "pieces" trailing what looked like embers behind. We estimated the activity (the object that was fired upon) at about 300 feet up and about 1/4 mile East of the road. I did not want to continue driving separately, but my Husband was very urgent wanting to leave that area and wouldn't let me abandon our car. Before we were back onto the road and heading South again, cars began speeding North on the highway. Two and three at a time.

About 18 in all. We began to travel South. After a few miles, there was a "rain" of large leaf sized ashes, like snow drifting slowly down over us. We live in an area with numerous wildfires every summer, and we are both certain it was ash and not snow. Some more miles and we ran into very dense fog. As we got to the small town of Owyhee which is just a little across the border into Nevada, it had begun to snow. We spent the night there. The next morning our faces felt burnt (like gasoline on skin feels) and we looked like we had got too much sun, although, without the usual outline of our sunglasses. Our eyes were puffy and tender. Mine swelled up and stayed that way for over a month. Even though we tell ourselves that it was most likely some military training exercise, we are also concerned that we may have witnessed something that wasn't supposed to be seen. We didn't tell anyone about it because we are big fat chickens! I finally mentioned it in a report that I made last week to NUFORC on some unrelated night-time red lights in the Elko, Nevada vicinity. Sincerely.

Thank you to the witness for this most amaazing report.

Tarpon Springs, Florida I Saw A Bright Neon Blue Flash In The Sky

Posted: January 21, 2009

Date: January 20, 2009
Time: 8:15 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Tarpon Springs, Florida.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: N/A
Shape of objects: N/A

Full Description of event/sighting: Last night, Tuesday, January 20th, 2009, I was riding with my wife in Tarpon Springs, Pinellas County, Florida. We were facing west driving just east of US19. I saw a bright, almost neon blue flash in the sky, high above the clouds which stretched from as far left as I could see to as far right as I could see.

There was sporadic cloud cover but the flash illuminated the sky for 3-5 seconds. I have since wrote my friends, wrote my local news program tip line (www.baynews9.com) and have not seen anywhere else that another sole saw this flash. That is until I googled and saw reports of a similar incident last week in Indianapolis. There were trees far in front of me and far to the right and left so I could not see any main stream of light extending to the ground as reported in Indianapolis. What I saw, however, was the entire sky above the clouds to my west (I was driving west) illuminate for 3-5 seconds in such a bright and beautiful deep blue.

Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

East Bernstadt, Kentucky Bright Orange Orb Hovering In The Sky

Posted: January 19, 2009

Date: January 12, 2009
Time: 9:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: East Bernstadt, Kentucky.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Orb.

Full Description of event/sighting: I live in a small town in south central Kentucky that is located about 5 miles north of London. I do not drink or use any kind of drugs and I am not on any medication. I am 26 years of age and have perfect eye sight and have no mental problems. I was doing some work online when my father asked me to look at something in the night sky. I thought it may be a plane or helicopter, but I looked anyway. What I saw in no way resembled anything I had seen before. My father who is 78 years old and my mother who is 63 years old both say they have never seen anything like it. I have seen this object on three separate nights. The first night was Jan.12, 2009 at around 9:00pm. and like I said, my father asked me to look so I did and I was in shock because in the distance. I would say maybe a mile away there was a bright orange orb hovering in the sky.

I got my digital camera and went out onto the front porch and began filming this object. While zoomed in and filming this object I could see that it was changing colors as well as it's shape very rapidly. The colors changed from orange to red to green to white and back to orange. I filmed the object for several minutes until it slowly disappeared. My second sighting was at the same residence at around 8:30pm. on the night of January 15, 2009. The object this time was much closer and appeared to be hovering just above a local power supply sub station. I did the same as the first sighting, I went outside and filmed the object with the same results color change and shape change. I along with my parents watched as this object hovered silently for about two hours in that spot before slowly moving northwest and disappearing once again. My best sighting was on January 16, 2009 at around 9:00pm. I was at a friend's house in London and we were talking about what I seen, so I went outside to see if maybe it would be there again and sure enough it was. Same object, same color, same size and all.

My friend who is a Sgt. in the U.S. Army and a combat veteran filmed the object on his camera with same results that I had gotten. Along with myself, my parents and my friend who have seen this object there is my friend's wife, her sister, their cousin, my friends uncle and aunt and everyone says they have never seen anything like it before. I am not trying to get any kind of wealth or personal gain from this, I have in no way fabricated this sighting, and this is in no way any kind of hoax by me or anyone that I know. I simply would like an honest scientific answer on what I have been seeing.

Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.
