There was plenty of speculation that the Earth wo
uld be visited by an alien craft (UFO) on July 4th this year, but I haven’t seen any “major” news report as of yet. I did, however, dig into the MUFON database for reports of July 4th sightings and events, and found the list you see below.
Among these 50 (max they provide via search results) reports, there is a common thread of an “orange glow” or an orange ball of light — seen all over the country. On further research, several of these orange orbs were also seen in Canada on 7/4.
Perhaps we were visited on July 4th, and the story was simply covered up. Based on the speculative stories, the visit was to be of such proportions that the media or any governmental agency couldn’t cover it up — but I don’t think we’ve had that “Close Encounters” moment as of just yet. If you’ve had an experience, be sure to report your UFO experience with MUFON.
