AH: Strange Things In Hayden Sky

(In Hayden Wednesday) my girlfriend and I ... witnessed some very strange objects in the sky. I have contacted all of my local press and broadcasters to see if anyone else has reported on this and to open up discussion. Here is our account: Over the course of about 4 hours I witnessed 5 separate sightings of the same type of UFO's. My girlfriend saw them twice. 1st) 11:25 PM -- Out of the western sky about 65 degrees above the horizon TWO shooting star like objects came out of nowhere flying parallel to one another about a pencil length apart. They began to bank slightly to the north and literally morphed into these sort of boomerang shaped, iridescent glowing reddish orange objects before they disappeared into the northern sky/Aaron Hudlemeyer, Hayden. Full letter to the editor below.

Question: Did anyone see a UFO in the Hayden area Wednesday? Have you ever seen a UFO? Do you believe in UFOs?

On the night of June 3rd 2009 in Hayden Idaho, my girlfriend and I were outback talking when we witnessed some very strange objects in the sky.

I have contacted all of my local press and broadcasters to see if anyone else has reported on this and to open up discussion.

Here is our account:


Over the course of about 4 hours I witnessed 5 separate sightings of the same type of UFO's. My girlfriend saw them twice.

1st) 11:25 PM

Out of the western sky about 65 degrees above the horizon TWO shooting star like objects came out of nowhere flying parallel to one another about a pencil length apart. They began to bank slightly to the north and literally morphed into these sort of boomerang shaped, iridescent glowing reddish orange objects before they disappeared into the northern sky.

I was literally in shock as I was trying to orient my girlfriend to look at them but she missed it.

About 15 minutes later @ 11:43 TWO more of these objects came zooming across the sky from the west to the east. My girlfriend and I both saw these. They were again boomerang shaped maybe even like dove shaped and these two were much closer to each other than the last pair. As they were flying over head they were in complete synch and in parallel again but flew away from each other then back toward each other as if to trace the shape of a vase in the sky. As they came back together the made a hard bank toward the north and disappeared.

WE were in total awe and bewilderment. They appeared to be glowing with this amazing misty like aura. Unbelievable.

7 minutes later at 11:50 SIX MORE of these craft appeared directly over our heads in a very tight single file formation. They snaked through the sky in this "S" type fashion before they, what appeared to me, collapsed onto one another and zipped out of sight to the north.

Now we are freaking out running through the house tearing things apart looking for cameras, flash lights, blankets etc...

I set up camp and was out all night long, but my girlfriend had to go to bed around 1 am.

Approximately 2:15am 9 more of these things popped up directly over highway 95 traveling from the south to the north. They appeared in a triangle formation and it was as if the ones on the inside of this formation were sort of wavering or fluttering like this weird electric vibration. They flew right up 95 and disappeared to the north.

The last sighting was at about 3 am when I was recording myself talking about what happened during the night.

One more of these objects appeared out of the south flying to the north again like right along highway 95. The only difference is that this object seemed much higher, larger, darker and slower than the others.

We are absolutely blown away and have called all the local press, broadcasting companies, ufo hotlines, airports etc but NO ONE else has reported seeing anything like this.

If you saw anything please email me through craigslist.

I KNOW SOMEONE ELSE HAD TO HAVE SEEN THESE

PLEASE IF YOU HAVE SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS CALL THE PAPER OR THE PRESS COMPANIES AND LET THEM KNOW

Thank you
