Location of Sighting: In Manhattan. Number of witnesses: 2 Number of objects: 1 Shape of objects: It looked to be a small thick cigar shape, 1 to 4 ratio, 30 to 40 feet long.

HBCC UFO Research Note: The witness has sent the footage and I just received the CD Friday, May 18, 2007. I found the object in the footage very interesting, it appears to be disk shaped. Photos and the footage are posted with this report.

Full Description of event/sighting: Dear Brian Vike, my 9 year old son and I were standing on a second story balcony and we were facing east. The sun was to our backs and it was still light out, around 7:15 pm. We saw this black object about 30 feet long that was moving from the south to the north right over the middle of town. If I would hold my hand out the object would be about has big as a fat grain of rice at my finger tips. This object made no sound and was moving at about 40 MPH, very slow. It was only about 1 mile away at the most. I ran into my kitchen and grabbed my JVC digital movie camera and captured just a few seconds of this object before it went behind a leafless tree. My camera then started to focus on the tree and then I could not see it any more. But in the video you could still see this black dot. I feel so lucky to have captured what I did. The very last time I used this camera was for Christmas at my parents so I have footage of Santa handing out presents and then a UFO going behind a tree.

Sometime in January I believe my ex-wife and the same son saw a black object just floating very slowly above Manhattan just before midnight. This object was black and had a very large floodlight on it shining horizontally. My son said that it was very big and it looked like a batman symbol being projected into the clouds. I'm wondering if it was projecting a beam down to the ground or into someone's home. They both said it left going straight up. They watched it for about a minute. I am so glad she saw this because she has never been a believer.

We are about 30 miles south from O-Hare airport. I now have 3 cameras and am ready for more shots. Enjoy listing to you on Rense. Keep up the good work.
