Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode, we're talking about North Carolina UFO
roundup. That's correct, North Carolina
UFO Roundup. Now we did a program here, I
think about a week or so ago on the South Carolina UFO Roundup
and one of the listeners commented that, hey, we've got
these things in North Carolina too.
And they were even talking a little bit about what I believe
they were referring to, the Brown Mountain Lights or they're
along the West Virginia border. Also a very strange phenomena.
But first, I want to look at some of these recent sightings
that we've had down there in North Carolina.
Seems like these things were just all over the place.
And I went to Earl Friends over at UFO sightingusa.com.
That's UFO sightingusa.com and I'll leave a link there to buy
me a coffee website. I think they have one of the
best you authority reporting sites around.
It's just awesome. Great graphics, great maps.
And so I've taken some of the sightings recently that came
from North Carolina. I've run a little bit of editing
on them so that we can just read them smoother and if there's any
kind of grammar errors they'll take care of that for us.
But the sightings are great and and of course our thanks to the
people that take the time to report these things because this
is how we're going to get disclosure.
We're going to get disclosure from people seeing these things
and taking the time to go to sites like this US
asightings.com and making their reports and and and letting us
know what they saw. Now this first experience it
says cube shape seen during lightning flash.
My wife and I were waiting out a strong storm with intense
lightning this evening while sitting in our darkened living
room. She had drifted off to sleep and
I was gazing out of the window watching the distant lightning.
During one of the lightning flashes the sky illuminated for
a duration of approximately 4 to 6 seconds and I observed a cube
like object positioned above the treetops between the lightning
and me. Now imagine this guy sitting in
his living room, his wife's hair asleep.
He looks out the window and lightning storm and he sees this
cubed shaped object. Doesn't sound like a drone to
me, he says. I cannot say with certainty
whether it was directly across the road, within the treetops,
or if it was farther away in the sky, but it appeared deceptively
close nevertheless. It unmistakably bore the shape
of a cube as it glided across the skyline.
It was black and collar, presumably due to my limited
perception, and it exhibited what seemed to be four sides,
albeit with a slight tumbling or rotating motion.
It appeared to be in rapid motion, devoid of any visible
lights or other discernible features during this brief
encounter. That must have just been
amazing. That happened in Lawndale, NC,
May 16th. It says 9:20 PM.
UFO shaped cube lasted 4 to 6 seconds.
Neat. The next one happened in
Hendersonville, NC. It says May 10th, 2023.
That's just a couple months ago, 9:12 PM.
And it says your shape was a disk and it lasted 30 seconds to
a minute quote. Night sky lit up and it says
Ferris wheel shape a spinning object seen above distant trees
While driving. I witnessed the night sky
suddenly light up. I asked my fiance what could
possibly be causing such an illumination.
Both of us turned our attention to the source and spotted a
spinning object resembling a Ferris wheel hovering above the
trees and the distance. The sky continued to
intermittently light up and then the object descended, eventually
disappearing from view. Wow, that is amazing.
So I'm not sure if this thing was perpendicular to the ground
or horizontal, but could you imagine just seeing this giant
craft that looked like a Ferris wheel spitting in the sky,
lighting up the whole sky. Our next one comes from Hickory,
NC says May 4th, 2020, three 9:45 PM.
The shape of the UFO as a cigar. It lasted 5 minutes.
Experience pencil shaped object with solid lights.
Silent flight While heading from the West to the east, I
encountered an object that appeared to resemble a pencil in
shape, with evenly spaced solid lights approximately 6 feet
apart. The object seemed to be at a
distance of about a mile away and a mile above the ground, and
there was absolutely no sound accompanying it.
It moves silently, flying from West to east, presenting a
string of lights that spanned approximately 50 yards and
appeared to be positioned at an altitude of maybe 2000 feet
above the ground. I'm a pilot, and I estimated its
horizontal speed to be around 80 to 100 knots.
This occurred at 9:45 PM at night, and it's worth noting
that the Hickory Airport control tower had already closed at 9:00
PM, so they would not have been able to witness it.
Now, this is what you call expert witness.
This guy's a pilot. He spends his working hours in
the air. You know, whether he's a, yeah,
a cargo pilot, a, you know, a passenger pilot or whatever, or
just a recreational pilot, He's the kind of guy that's going to
know the difference between a drone and an unidentified flying
object. And what he was described here
is a UFO. Now this next one comes to us
from Norlena, North Carolina. Hope I'm pronouncing that
correctly. May 1st, 2020, three, 9:50 PM.
UFO shaped circle lasted 5 minutes, says Experience
Circular flashing object in the sky I observed A circular object
in the sky that was moving slowly and seemed unusually
close. Unlike an ordinary planar
planet, this object featured blinking lights and remained
visible for approximately 5 minutes before briefly
disappearing and then reappearing moments later.
It gave the impression of hovering in the sky.
So interesting to see have this circular shaped UFO just hanging
out there. This one comes from Charlotte,
NC 4/29/20 three 7:30 PM. UFO shaped sphere lasted 5
minutes. Observation of a slow moving
spherical dark object in north northeast direction.
My daughter and I were attending a baseball game and the weather
conditions were clear with visual flight rules in effect.
No clouds. Sight aircraft departing from
the Charlotte airport were following a southern flow and
passing overhead in the northeastern direction, likely
on a standard departure route. During this time, my daughter
spotted a small, dark spherical object.
Initially I couldn't spot the object and playfully suggested
she might be seeing things. After a few moments of scanning
the area, I too managed to locate the object.
It was situated by the flight path of the aircraft in the
vicinity and was moving slowly in a northeasterly direction.
We observed it for approximately 5 minutes, after which we were
unable to spot it again. Yeah, what is it?
What is it? With these things being drawn to
airports, you just wonder. This one says.
This one is from Reidsville, NC 4/26/20 three 10:30 PM UFO
shaped star lasted no more than two minutes.
This is a large, brilliant hovering light in the sky.
I ventured into the backyard to let the dogs out and immediately
noticed an exceptionally bright light in the sky.
I gazed at it for a moment and I didn't and it didn't seem to be
in motion. However, upon closer
observation, I realized it was slowly hovering, following an
irregular pattern than drifting or ascending along a set path.
This light was so brilliantly, brilliantly intense and
extensive that it almost resembled the glow of a burning
meteor. Nonetheless, the manner in which
it moved rolled out the possibility of it being a
falling meteor. As it wasn't descending toward
Earth, the shear size and radiant intensity of the light
made it challenging to gauge its distance accurately, creating a
disorienting effect. Death perception.
When I described as burning, I mean it resembled the pulsing
motion of light, somewhat akin to the way light appears to
dance with the fire. I observed its movement for no
more than two minutes. Curiously, I briefly went
indoors to retrieve my phone, returning outside within no more
than 30 seconds, only to find that the light had vanished.
This abrupt disappearance was particularly perplexing given
the slow pace at which it had been moving.
Yeah, I think these things are phasing in and out.
We hear these reports of these, of these UF O's that look like
meteors are super bright stars. We just instinctively know that
they're not stars because they're way too large for that.
Way too bright. I don't know if that's some sort
of just energy they're giving off or what.
This was from Surf City, NC dated April 13th, 2020, three
9:46 PM. It says that the UFO shape is a
triangle, lasted 20 seconds, saw three red flashing lights and a
triangle shape that stayed in one spot for 15 seconds.
When the lights turned into just one light, it flew away from the
beach at high speed. I know it's not military craft
because I see them fly by all the time.
Also they would never fly that close.
That's a good point. So you got a person that lives
around, you know, an area where military craft are taking off
and landing and flying all the time.
They see this triangle shaped UFO and they know enough to know
this thing is not a military craft.
And that's how it goes and tells us that the lights saw three red
flashing lights and then they kind of morphed into one.
You have to wonder if the triangle is just not a temporary
temporary shape. It takes on some way expresses
itself. Maybe it's not even a physical
object, Maybe it just looks like a triangle to us because they
seem to be shape shifting all the time.
Now this says this is from Cheryl's Ford, North Carolina.
And then we'll finish up with a couple more on these here local
sightings, it says, observing unusual object during ISS
viewing. While on our deck, eagerly,
eagerly awaiting the passage of the ISS at around 8:50 PM, we
suddenly noticed an object moving northwest and the sky.
This object was characterized by two green blinking lights.
Although the lights did not follow a consistent blinking
pattern, remarkably there was no accompanying noise.
What made the sighting even more intriguing was that the object
abruptly came to a halt, remaining stationary as the ISS
passed by. Subsequently, it changed
direction, reversing its course and flying eastward.
As a commercial pilot, I can confidently assert that it did
not resemble any conventional aircraft or helicopter.
It's possible that it could have been a drone, but it was flying
at a notably high altitude. Now this guy's out there looking
for the International Space Station.
OK, so he probably knows his stuff about where the stars are
at, where the satellites are at, where the space station's at,
obviously. And then he sees this UFO says
it's got 2 green blinking lights, although the lights
didn't follow a consistent blinking pattern.
OK, no noise. Not sure how high, how high up
it is, but it's not an airplane. Yeah I think the same probably
shocked the living daylights out of the sky.
This one comes to us from Raleigh, NC dated April 1st
2023. UFO shaped star said it's been
occurring daily so it doesn't sound like it's just an April
Fool's joke to me. And it says experience a star
that moves. It appears daily but doesn't
appear some nights, also duplicates then then just
disappears. A star that changes colors and
duplicates Sounds like a classic orb saying to me, and maybe a
reoccurring orb now. This last one here is from
Gasto, North Carolina, dated March 24th, 2020, Three 9:00 PM
UFO shaped orb lasted 10 seconds.
They began by telling us that the observation of a single
swift, bright green lighter orb. I was seated outside on my back
deck, relishing the clear night sky adorned with numerous stars
and constellations. We reside a mere 3 miles from
Gaston Municipal Airport, so we are quite accustomed to the
presence of small planes traversing the vicinity.
These planes typically follow the landing flight path, which
takes him directly over the Culdesac where our house stands.
Consequently, we are well acquainted with how small planes
are illuminated at night, adorned with various colored
lights on their wings and fuselage.
However, on this particular night, my wife and I witnessed
something distinctly different. I was positioned on my upper
deck, facing the rear of my house and gazing upward beyond
the roofline. Upon turning my head to the
left, directing my gaze toward my neighbor's house and through
the leafless trees as it was that time of year, I observed A
solitary, brilliantly radiant green light.
The term orb best encapsulates its appearance.
Notably, it occupied a lower altitude than what is customary
for planes in our area. These two factors immediately
piqued my interest. In addition, this object was
swiftly traversing in a linear trajectory, moving from the
southwest to the northeast. I promptly called out to my
wife, urging her to come and witness a phenomena, which she
did with great haste. Together we observed this course
until it disappeared from view behind the rear of our house.
Racking swiftly, we we rushed to the opposite side of the deck to
gain a better perspective. From there, we managed to spot
it once more as it continued its straight path into the distance.
Ultimately, our view was obstructed by intervening trees
and houses. Having lived here for nearly two
decades in close proximity to the airport, we have never
encountered anything quite like it before.
Our estimate placed objects altitude between 150 and 200
feet, with a velocity ranging from 200 to 300 mile per hour.
Most remarkably, it traversed the sky and absolute silence.
Yeah, whatever these things are, they're using a means propulsion
that's beyond whatever we have. Now I want to finish up here
with just a short article. It's not really in depth, but it
kind of gives you an idea about the Brown Mountain Lights and
they're kind of all over that region down there.
Very interesting phenomena. Highly recommend you take a look
at it. We've done some podcasts on it,
but this article here comes to us from wlos.com. wlos.com.
It's written April 17th, 2022, so it's about a year ago.
It's written by Megan Donahey and the title says have you seen
them? Fascination with N Carolina's
mysterious Brown Mountain Lights spans decades.
She begins by saying people have reported seeing mysterious
lights in Lynnville, Georgia area for decades.
They are known as the Brown Mountain Lights.
Some people say they look like fireworks coming off the
mountain. Other reports say they look like
hovering orbs of bright light. In 1913 and again 1922, the
United States Geological Society came to the area to investigate.
They visited different locations in the region and logged
reports. All the sight lines crossed over
Brown Mountain, which is how these mysterious lights were
named. The official report from the USG
from the USGS determined that the lights were likely from
train headlights or city lights. As the region became
electrified, however, sightings continued even after the train
tracks were washed out. Fascination and lore only grew.
So basically what you had there back in the early 1900s was a
UFO report. These things are floating.
They're like orbs. They're they're around this
mountain, this area and this multi, I don't know, you got
North Carolina, Georgia, I think West Virginia.
So you got multiple states involved.
People have been seeing these things for years and years and
years and the government sends down the team to investigate.
And what do they say? Well, train tracks and lights
from cities, look, they were seeing these things long before
the area became electrified. They were seeing them long
before train tracks came through.
And when the train tracks washed out and they couldn't call them,
they couldn't call them, you know, locomotive lights anymore.
Well, the mystery just continued.
But it shows you the government has been covering up UFO
phenomena with fake investigations for over 100
years now. It goes on here, says there was
even 1 explanation, that city that cites an old Cherokee
legend saying that these mysterious lights are from
maidens still searching for their men who died in a great
battle fought between the Cherokee and the Katawaba
Indians at Brown Mountain and 1200 AD.
Doctor Dan Katyn is a professor of physics and astronomy at
Appalachian State University. He has been studying the
phenomena of the brown lights for over 20 years.
Lee Hawkins, observatory engineer at Appalachian State
University, joined him on the quest in 1999.
Together, they installed cameras at two homes facing Brown
Mountain. These cameras imaged the
mountain all night. Every night.
Doctor Kenton would make a movie out of the images every single
day, he said. We hoped with the cameras that
we could see enough lights that we could correlate.
It was something like geomagnetic activity,
meteorology, something Dan says. They didn't see enough to
correlate anything with anything, Lee says.
What we glean from the cameras is that you don't see the Brown
Mountain lights, if at all, very often.
Most reports of the lights come from three viewing locations in
the area, Weisman's view in the Pisgah National Forest, the
Brown Mountain Overlook on Hwy. 181, and Lost Cave Overlook on
the Blue Ridge Parkway. Doctor Caton is intrigued by
recent reports, especially at Weisman's view.
He says people have observed bright balls of light not
thousands of feet away across the gorge, but only 20 feet away
in the parking lot, or floating balls of light just at an arm's
length away from the viewing pulpits.
He says they are hard to study when they happen, so randomly
and intermittently. Look, we see these things
interacting with people all the time.
It seems like they're really not that conducive to being studied
under scientific conditions. As far as you're just going out
there and trying to photograph these things like you would
lightning or something, it almost seems like you have this
human interaction with these things.
Whatever they are they're looking for, they're looking for
that observer effect. It's it's it's kind of like
they're just intertwined with people.
They worked with the Forest Service to draw up plans to
install a camera at the Weisman's view location, but
with no power and no Internet, it would have been too big and
bulky. And excuse me, I I have to.
I have to ask a question. Can't you just go online and buy
one of these game cameras? You put some batteries in them
and stick them in there with no power and no Internet?
They couldn't. They couldn't go to Walmart and
buy some batteries. Come on.
In the end, it was decided a camera like that would be ugly
and take away from the scenic beauty at the spot.
It's almost like these guys don't want proof.
For now, the Brown Mountain Lights remain one of western
North Carolina's greatest mysteries.
Dan and Lee encourage folks to become familiar with the night
sky. Learn what flashing cell towers,
airplanes and local traffic patterns look like.
Become accustomed to viewing planets, stars, and satellites
in the sky. Then, they say, you just might
recognize something truly unusual and unexplained.
Well, even a person who's not that bright, if they've got an
orb the size of a basketball or a beach ball show up at arm's
length probably does know that that is not a cell phone tower
or the planet Venus. Until next time, this is UFO
warning. Over and out.
