Strange Screams Reported in Ligonier Township

I have received information that strange animal sounds were heard from a wooded area of Ligonier Township during the early morning hours of February 28, 2013. A man was awakened from sleep by a loud unusual animal sound coming from the nearby woods.

The fellow described the sound as a high pitched screaming shrill that lasted for about 30 seconds. Soon after, that sound was followed by another sound which was similar to monkey chatter. After that sound, the fellow heard 5-7 gun shots which was followed once again by that shrill screaming sound.

While we can’t be sure as to what is the source of these sounds, it is well known that the areas around the Chestnut Ridge, as well as from Derry Township and throughout the Ligonier area have had a long history of reported encounters with Bigfoot and other mystery animals.  During 2012, I heard numerous accounts from residents who live in this area reporting various type of strange activity. Many of these reports occurred from May through August.

People reported a terrible unusual smell around their rural properties that was described as similar to rotten eggs or something that was dead. It would be detectable for minutes or on and off for a few days.

It was noted in one case that the dogs were very frightened when the odor was noticed and even bull frogs in the area didn’t make a sound. Other strange sounds were reported. I had heard of possible Bigfoot sightings in the area.  I also interviewed witnesses from several different locations who claimed to have been within 30 feet from what they described as a black panther. Additionally, a report of a strange footprint came to the attention of the PA Bigfoot Society.

If you have any knowledge of any such occurrences, please contact Stan.

Fast Moving Object Splits from Formation of Lights

Fast Moving Object Splits from Formation of Lights

February 9, 2013- Between 10:30-11:00 PM

North Huntingdon, PA-Westmoreland County

The witness had just walked outside onto his porch to get some fresh air. He happened to look up into the clear sky towards the north, when he observed about 4-6 lights that appeared in a somewhat check mark- like formation.  The lights appeared round and bright orange in color. When the witness first saw them, his first thought was that these were military aircraft. As the man continued to watch, It was soon realized that the lights appeared to be stationary and made no sound.

Seconds later about 3-4 of the objects suddenly disappeared. In a few moments the witness watched as one of the remaining orange lights which seemed to have been positioned at the furthest section of the formation, suddenly shot off at a very fast rate of speed towards the north. The witness said that it might have had a slight trail behind it as it moved off and that it looked similar to a meteor but didn’t break up as they usually do.

The witness quickly called a neighbor to come outside and take a look. That neighbor was able to view the last light along with the primary witness. That light moved very slowly towards the southeast, and they watched as it moved far off in the distance but had changed to a white color, and looked similar to a satellite moving across the sky. The total observation time by the primary witness was about a minute.

Pennsylvania Besieged with UFO and Strange Creature Reports During 2012

Pennsylvania Besieged with UFO and Strange Creature Reports During 2012

(Mysterious incidents reported from 50 counties in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania)

From Researcher: Stan Gordon: www.stangordon.info

The year 2012 was very active with reported sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects and encounters with strange creatures  as well as other mysterious events as reported from residents from across the Keystone state. Pennsylvania has a long history of strange occurrences. The year was filled with observations of triangular, disc, and boomerang shaped objects as well as formations of luminous globes.

Information concerning strange incidents during 2012 came to my attention from 50 counties from across the state of Pennsylvania.  I also received reports from the neighboring states of Ohio, West Virginia, and Maryland as well. Many witnesses of UFO sightings, strange animal encounters, or other unusual incidents contact me directly, or report  to other independent researchers or research organizations. Some of these sources include Peter Davenport’s, “National UFO Reporting Center”, www.nuforc.org, the Pennsylvania Chapter of (MUFON) The Mutual UFO Network, www.mufonpa.com, and the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society, www.pabigfootsociety.com, many of whom I am in contact with.

As in past years, sightings of UFOs were responsible for the majority of strange events reported. During the 2012 year, however, there were numerous encounters reported with various types of strange creatures among which also included Bigfoot, giant flying creatures and black panther observations. Many other types of strange events also came to my attention including mystery booms, strange footprints and sounds, odd photographic images, and enigmatic clouds and patterns in the sky.

It has been since 1959 that I have been logging these mysterious events. I started taking calls from the public concerning UFO sightings in 1969, and I continue to receive reports via phone and e-mails concerning current mysterious encounters. Ever since 1965 when I began to conduct on scene investigations of these types of incidents, I realized that the high percentage of UFO observations and other strange events are determined to have a natural or man-made explanation as the source for what occurred.

Many UFO observations are determined to be misidentifications such as bright planets and stars, bright meteors, re-entry of space debris, or advertising search light displays. Some UFO incidents during the last year were launches of sky lanterns or Chinese lanterns. Over the years Bigfoot or other strange animals were also determined to be misidentifications of other animals such as bear and large shaggy dogs, or large native birds. On occasion, hoaxes have been uncovered.

Many incidents reported each year by credible observers are not so easily dismissed. One point of interest concerning UFO cases reported during 2012 was that there were numerous cases where mysterious aerial objects were observed at close range and at low level.  One of the most interesting incidents occurred on I-80 outside of Bloomsburg on the afternoon of July 30th. A motorist reported that a softball sized solid sphere entered his vehicle through the open passenger side window then floated around the interior of his truck before departing. For a full report see: http://www.stangordon.info/wp/2012/08/22/small-sphere-enters-moving-car/

During the early morning hours of April 4th, a 30-40 foot diameter metallic saucer-shaped object with square windows hovered 30 feet above a house in a suburb of Pittsburgh. In another instance, on the evening of May 7th, a man was sitting in the living room of his Washington County home when the room became illuminated from a light shining in the window. The light was emitted from a vertical football shaped object hovering about 100 feet away that also had two unusual light arrays on it. A huge elongated object covered with numerous lights was observed hovering over trees along a major highway near Waynesburg on November 24th. The witness who had been in the military had never seen anything like that before and was quite alarmed.

2012  was also very active with mystery animal encounters. Eric Altman, Director of the (PBS) Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society as well as myself, received a number of reports concerning encounters with Bigfoot from various statewide locations. Reports first came to our attention in January from several counties. The PBS received a report in May from Somerset County where a 7 foot tall hair covered creature was reportedly seen 50 feet away on a dirt road.

On September 13th in Cambria County, the PBS was looking into another encounter where a tall creature covered in black hair and with long arms crossed a road and entered a wooded area. Other possible Bigfoot activity was reported from other locations in the state including Westmoreland and Fayette counties which have a long history of such incidents.

The Keystone state has a long history of sightings of mystery wildcats. The mountain lion has been officially declared extinct in the state for many years, yet alleged sightings of these animals continue yearly. More mysterious are the reported encounters with what some observers describe as “Black Panthers” an animal that most people would associate with leopards or jaguars and which have never frequented this part of the world. During July and August, I interviewed a number of credible observers from various locations in Westmoreland County who claim to have seen such an animal from a distance as close as 30 feet away.  These type of reports have been received for many years from many other locations in the state.

Observers from the state continue to report sightings of “Thunderbirds,” a general term used for describing observations of huge birds with massive wingspans which have been reported for years. Some of the sightings describe a creature more like a giant bat or something that looks prehistoric.  Some of these encounters have also been at close range and very detailed.

In March, a man walking his dog in rural Fayette County heard a whoosing sound and watched a large flying creature moving about 50 feet overhead. The creature was estimated to have a wingspan of about 18 feet, and the creature looked more like a dragon than a bird.  During the early Spring, a driver came across a giant bird blocking a roadway while eating road kill in Armstrong County. The witness watched as the bird opened its wings, flapped them, then flew off. The wingspan was estimated at 12 feet. Other similar accounts were reported across the state.

Other even stranger creature encounters were also reported. Two people in Washington County reported an odd incident during the early morning of April 23rd. A man heard a strange screeching sound coming from outside and after a while awakened his wife to listen to it as well. Upon going to a window, they observed some type of upright dark brown creature standing in a nearby creek.  As the creature turned and looked in their direction, they saw two large round eyes that appeared to be glowing an amber color. As they watched, the creature took one step then ascended into the sky at a 45 degree angle. They never saw any indication of wings.

Parachute Shaped Objects Reported in Pennsylvania and Maryland

Parachute Shaped Objects Reported in Pennsylvania and Maryland

In early December of 2012, there were some sightings of parachute shaped object being reported from various locations. The following are two reports which I received.

December 10, 2012-near Eldersburg, Maryland

It was at approximately 4:15 PM that a man and his 16 year old granddaughter were taking a drive when his granddaughter observed what looked like a parachute in the southern sky.  The man also saw it and at first also thought that it was a parachute. As he continued to watch he felt that the object was something else.

They lost sight of it for about 30 seconds as they moved down some streets in the area. Once the object was observed again, it looked similar to a spherical or balloon shaped object that was just under the clouds. A rain storm had been through the area previous to the observation, and there were some wind gusts from the west at about 15 mph. The man stopped his vehicle and took several pictures of the object with his cell phone.

When they returned to his home, they went out on a deck to try to obtain a better look and they noticed that the object appeared to be floating and seemed to be hovering against the wind. They could not see any tether line nor any lights on the object. No sound could be heard but the man mentioned that it was windy. The fellow took an additional picture then went in the house to view them on his computer. When he returned outside about 5 minutes later, the object could no longer me seen.

The witness is an airplane enthusiast, and familiar with the many types of aircraft that fly over the area. He said that he had never saw anything like that before and hopes to find an answer as to what the object was.  He read on the internet, that a similar object was observed in Fredrick County, Md. on December 12, 2012, along I-70. While the photographs do show the object, they are not very detailed. A photo analysis will be conducted to see if any further details can be obtained.

December 11, 2012 Scottdale, PA-Westmoreland County  A woman driving during the late afternoon near a busy business area outside of Scottdale, PA, observed what looked like a black parachute in the clear sky. She noticed no aircraft flying around the area from which a parachute could have been released. There was something hanging down from the device but was unsure if it was a person or some type of package. It was just getting dark and her path through the area let her pass under the object which she said looked like an arched parachute.  She could not tell what was below the device since she could not see any arms or legs. The woman thought that it would be odd for someone to be parachuting at that time of the year, specially in that busy location. Her family made contact with the local airports in the area. They had no knowledge of any parachute jumps or releases in the area at that time.
