Four sightings in Alaska this past month... interesting... Two of them are in the Anchorage area... one in my area (read about that one already). Things seem to be picking up everywhere... even up here. Notice there has been some activity up Derek's way too. I can highlight any area where UFO reports are, if anyone is interested. Canada, Missouri, United Kingdom, India, Mexico.... Steve

I will be continuing my opportunity to display my UFO monthly maps here at TEOR. As a new feature, my maps will also be displayed at EPIC Voyagers. The TEOR will continue in blue gray, and the EPIC versions in radar black. TEOR is a wonderful site, and feel a sense of loyalty toward our friend's and guests here. epicvoyagers.com/E.P.I.C.htmlIt is planned (under construction) will also display a 'real-time' maps feed from UFOs Northwest, and the Larry Hatch world historical maps from before 1947. www.larryhatch.net/Promises I hope to be an 'all under one roof' source for UFO maps anywhere on the Internet.

Steve, ... Is it my imagination that ufos seem to be seen over mainly interstate highways? I noticed is so on the US map for January 2012..Maybe it is a good place for an abduction..
Thank you.. this is great..

Hi Lois, It's not your imagination. This is a pattern I too noticed from the beginning when I started such maps in 2005. I think it is more due to social patterns. Many more are more prone to look up or about when driving an automobile than other times. Reports geographically can be as much where more eyes are as it is possible Ufo activity. Thankyou, Steve

Steve Oh thank you Steve.. but that is not why I don't go on the interstate much . Neither of us drive anymore as our health won't permit us to. We go down US 55 south into Mo. to visit our kids .. One of them always comes up and takes us back. It is a five hour drive. . This is about the only time I'm out on any highway. Your map just gave me that thought as it appeared all the dots were along major highways. Thank you for the kind thoughts . I don't know if I have ever witness a gray for sure. So I don't have that on my mind much. My lost time is the reason for it. I was somewhere all night that is for sure. I do like the maps.. Swampy keeps me informed about my area. I appreciate having him as a friend like everyone else here. Lois .

Hi, Steve. Could you make a map of the central Texas area right around and just northwest of Lampasas? I spend a lot of time in that area and would appreciate knowing if anything is sighted there. Thanks.

Here is the latest- the February 2012 UFO map. I was only waiting for Peter Davenport (NUFORC) new published sightings list for February 2012 - which he finally published last night. Edmonton, Alberta, Canada seems to be suddenly very hot with sightings. Derek? You are from that area I believe. Hope your absence here was just an absence being busy, and wasn't any kind of missing time. There was activity in Alaska too Lorelei. Respectfully, Steve

I noticed that last winter reports were hovering around the 600 mark and now they are up closer to 900. Is it possible the warmer weather we have had this winter might have something to do with that? More people outside looking up at the skies instead of huddled around a nice warm fireplace maybe. Or is there some other explanation for it? Something getting ready to go down? It is 2012 after all...

Looks like the Pacific west coast is quiet. Vancouver always gets a lot of reports but there is a lot of air traffic in the Vancouver/Abbotsford area and I'm suspicious that at least reports are misinterpreted IFOs. I'm more impressed with the reindeer hunters who reports a slow flying something overhead or guys camping on a remote lake not under a fly zone.

What were the two sightings that occurred in central Texas halfway between Waco and Austin? Those look to be right around the area where lampasas is where I keep camping out and experiencing weird stuff. Were those reports from MUFON?

Working up some maps sky - should have them up before morning. There are about 8 reports in the area within a 90 mile radius of Lampasas, Texas in March. Four of these in and around Austin - these look like nothing serious - one reported even seeing the same light for 2 hours every night for two weeks - has anyone considered there it might be Jupiter? Others I will post their case brief for you. The red dots are NUFORC, the yellow dots are the mufoons.
I am also preparing local regional maps for the Pacific NW, Alaska, the UK, eastern Australia, Tennessee, and now around Lampasas too for members here.

Thanks Steve.
I assume the sighting in Barrow is the only one in Alaska for this month?
A friend of mine lives up there... will have to ask him if he heard about it. You know how those small villages are... I'm sure everyone knows the details about it- including my friend...

Thanks, Steve. I don't see many UFO reports close to Lampasas and when there are some I am usually extra suspicious about them because there is a lot of military activity in that area. The largest army base in the country is only about 20 miles away. I see helicopters flying over all the time and they do some pretty weird things sometimes. I have also seem some other weird things that were definitely not helicopters. I noticed there was one up close to Lubbock also. Do you know anything about that one?

Awesome! It's so nice to see all the sightings plotted out like that. I'm very visual, so when I can see them in this type of platform it makes sense to me. . I was also surprised to see so many reports in my area. I knew of one report that was literally less than a mile from me, and based on the description of the flight path it would have gone right over my house.

Once again - Red dots NUFORC (Peter Davenport) reports, Yellow dots (Mufon). There were two more UK reports in Yorkshire (only two yellow dots without info 'balloons) due to space. Both in Yorkshire on 3/26/2012 reported 'star like UFO'. Second sighting is duplicate report by same witness. North Eastern United States may seem busy, but this is actually a typical normal level of report activity. Fairly normal activity for Florida too, though Florida looks busier this March. Statistically, the busiest area for UFO's is usually California, Pennsylvania, Texas, Michigan - but statistically the most reports per square mile is always none other than the District of Columbia - Washington D.C. Always has been. By population density and air traffic too, the Northeast United States has always had high activity. So go figure. I have been particularly following closely Tennessee and Kentucky the last year. Tennessee & some parts of Kentucky to me are worrisome. This area qualifies just short of being declared a full UFO 'flap' - it reports frequently the full range of Vallee classifications - from Lights in the sky to abductions. Steve

...and you wonder how many more reports Bigelow got that NUFORC and MUFON didn't..... Mufon's reports this month were rather odd. Most (98%) of Mufon's domestic cases are listed as category 1's (ho humm) - which is normal for mufon, while virtually all mufon 'foreign' case reports are receiving category 2's and 3's (and no investigators in those areas to check them out too BTW). But reading over those category 2-3's - the reports realty did not justify a higher priority or higher strangeness rating either. Reading briefly scanning over the Mufon domestic cases listed as category 1 - these raw reports all show appropriately a category 1 designation - based on the Vallee ranking and reading the case briefs - real sleepers unless your interested in light in the sky reports. Was it a dull month? Or is this really everything? Also unusual is the discrepancy in total numbers between NUFORC (Davenport) and Mufon's monthly totals - 240 NUFORC vs. 443 Mufon - usually the total numbers are more evenly matched. Is mufon being flooded with rather mundane reports - more noise? Or less reports to Davenport's site last month? It was my thought too among a number of others watching there should be more higher strangeness cases. They maybe being secretly placed elsewhere in another Mufon data cashe, or slipped under the table by the mufon BOD to Bigelows group? Just some thoughts comparing this month to previous month observations. Several in Mufon recently told me related to their abduction research work - they never submit such high strangeness cases into the CMS in the first place for fear of who might be able to access those files - so for the sake of their clients - they never enter those. Reflecting this, the maps maybe only useful for only showing very general monthly trends. I feel confident of NUFORC's consistency of reports - but Mufons report data when looked at over all based on my past work in the organization seems a bit queer - as far as consistency and quality. How busy has Mufon's Star team been lately? February and March are historically the slowest months annually too. Your not the first to wonder about Bigelow related this way. I began to fall politically out of favor years ago when innocently having done these maps over a number of years noticed a big discrepancy between high strangeness cases listed on the state director reports which was regularly published to me every month on the 1st. As a assistant state director - I automatically received this case breakdown too. It showed total numbers of reports by state, type, object shape. Consistently each month printed below on the very same list would be a separate list also of raw investigated or still un-investigated entity reports and landing reports no less. This was always printed separately interestingly. But when I would be preparing the monthly UFO maps, scanning over all the cases because I was then characterizing each case report on the map with a unique map symbol.... one or triangles, one for disks, ones for entities for instance - I seldom saw these higher strangeness cases ever in the list of case reports. Why? There would be regularly (and not exaggerating here now) - no less than a dozen or more entity and landing reports from Mufon HQ - the International director! But when checked doing an audit against the total list of cases - there was zero to perhaps only one at most! Here is an example which goes back to 2007. I have many more -I saved them all since they might be important one day....The entities and landings listed at the bottom separately are listed in bold print in color so it will stand out here.......the example below was a typical month - but often in regards to landing and entity reports there would often be more each month. This was when James Carrion was International Director - but I can produce more recent ones too. Monthly Statistical MUFON Report - for May 2007:
CMS continues to amass sighting reports from around the globe. In May 2007 there were 170 sightings reported to MUFON through CMS from the following countries;
Country Number of Reports UNITED STATES 139 CANADA 6 AUSTRALIA 5 UNITED KINGDOM 4 KOREA, REPUBLIC OF 3 BRAZIL 3 IRELAND 2 NORWAY 1 KOREA, DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF 1 EL SALVADOR 1 EGYPT 1 MEXICO 1 PORTUGAL 1 IRAN, ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF 1 INDIA 1 TOTAL: 170
Within the United States the distribution by State was as follows;
State Number of Reports California 20 New York 10 Indiana 9 Oregon 9 Florida 8 Texas 7 Alabama 6 Illinois 5 Colorado 5 Georgia 5 Arizona 4 Nebraska 4 Pennsylvania 4 Ohio 3 Wisconsin 3 New Mexico 3 Tennessee 3 Michigan 3 North Carolina 3 Missouri 2 Kansas 2 Nevada 2 New Hampshire 2 New Jersey 2 Hawaii 2 Minnesota 2 Vermont 1 Virginia 1 Arkansas 1 Washington 1 Kentucky 1 Rhode Island 1 West Virginia 1 Maryland 1 South Carolina 1 Massachusetts 1 Utah 1
If you are getting more sighting reports than listed here, please be sure to enter them manually into CMS. To make this happen automatically, make sure your local MUFON Website is pointing to the CMS Reporting form on www.mufon.com and direct all calls you get to the MUFON website so that witnesses can enter their own report directly into CMS.
ALL sighting reports received by CMS are already filled in by the witness, saving you and your investigators time. Each report is automatically sent to YOU, the State Director and Assistant State Director, for you to assign someone to follow-up and complete the report.
If a UFO sighting comes in over the phone, or by e-mail, and you want to enter it yourself, simply go to CMS at mufoncms.com/cgi-bin/login.pl and click on "UFO Sighting Reports" on the main menu and then click "ADD" in the upper right hand corner of the screen. This gives you a blank sighting reporting form that you can fill out while the witness is on the phone. Once the report is filled out be sure to click "SAVE" and you will have easily added your NEW report to CMS.
Other interesting data points in CMS during May 2007 are the shape of the UFOs reported which were as follows;
Shape of Object Number of Reports Star-like 35 Sphere 27 Other 23 Disc 22 Unknown 22 Circle 21 Oval 18 Triangle 17 Fireball 15 Flash 14 Cigar 10 Boomerang 10 Diamond 8 Square/Rectagular 7 Bullet/Missle 6 Teardrop 5 Blimp 4 Egg 4 Cylinder 4 Saturn-like 2 Chevron 1 Cone 1
as well as the distance from the observer;
Distance from Witness Number of Reports < 100 ft 9 101-500 ft 9 501 ft - 1 Mile 14 Over 1 Mile 24 Unknown 24
Most impressively there were 8 Landings, Hovering, or Takeoffs reported and 6 Entities observed.
To review the CMS data yourself go to www.mufon.com and click on "UFO Case Files" to 1.) Easily look at the Last 20 Sightings, or 2.) Do a customized search of the CMS database by date and/or location, or 3.) Logon to CMS for even more detailed UFO sighting information about your State and the World.
I hope you are enjoying our new internet based Sighting and Reporting System. For questions regarding its use please refer to the User Guide available on your CMS main menu screen. Please send your questions and/or suggestions to Jan Harzan at __________.com.
Thank you! Was someone exaggerating the high strangeness numbers, or did they exist and were being funneled elsewhere? This went on as long as I was doing these maps for mufon. I would innocently ask my state director, then the director of investigations on an irregular basis over years. Consistently my question was always answered with silence. Were they not telling? Had they not anticipated someone might be so interested in the phenomena enough to actually do analysis of many cases (which Mufon never does) formatted as maps? If those high strangeness cases did exist - where were they going? Bigelow? The CIA? NSA? DIA? Or just placed in a dusty corner to be forgotten? Seems after a time, some higher ups in mufon did not like me asking these questions...... Steve

The one that occurred closest to Lampasas sounded like either an abduction or a dream about an abduction. It's hard to tell which from reading about it.
