FORM 112 - MADAR SIGHTING INFORMATION REPORT
 


CLARKSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA   -   APRIL 10, 2022

I.   DESCRIPTION OF INCIDENT

April 10, 2022; Clarksburg, West Virginia
1:57 am. EDT. The two witnesses were traveling home from an evening out and saw a huge cigar-shaped craft emitting a sort of rainbow colored light arrangement. The craft hovered approximately 30 feet off the ground. As the couple approached in their vehicle it seemed to notice their presence and shined a bright bluish green light directly at them. The craft didn't seem threatened by their presence, but apparently it was aware of them being there. After possibly 3-5 minutes the craft shot up to a few hundred feet and took off in a northeasterly direction. No sound was heard as it propelled itself forward, but a low audible buzz or humming sound was present while it was hovering in front of the witnesses. As the primary witness looked back down, a second craft seemed to appear out of nowhere. It slowly crept up the hill to the same spot the previous craft had been spotted. This one didn't appear to notice them, however the witness' fiancé and vehicle appeared to capture its interest. Being as she was pregnant with their second child, primary witness was very concerned. The craft shown a blueish green light in what seemed to be a sort of quadrant scanning sequence carefully examining the vehicle and its occupants (not sure if this was in regards to the initial encounter or the second encounter) who was afraid to make any harsh movements he remained still and refrained from making any movement. After approximately 10 minutes the craft shot up in similar fashion as the first and and disappeared in the same direction. The rate of speed the craft leapt forward with was unimaginable, gone so quickly that the speeds weren't possible to estimate. Once the craft were gone the witnesses began to travel back to their home and realized that at least 2 hours had passed between leaving their previous destination and their home. Once home they quickly showered due to a worry of possible contamination and his fiancé being pregnant. Male witness hasn't felt right since the incident. (NUFORC).

II - MADAR DATA

There were no code blues (full alerts) listed in the MADAR Alert Search, but extremely interesting spikes were found in the status rate one-minute field data on node 192 at Weirton.  Clarksburg is 82 miles SSE of the Weirton site.  In Universal Time Code 1:57 am is 05:57:00. The reported time of the spikes are 05:56:18 UTC (7.5 milligaus) and 5:57:18 UTC (6.75 milligaus). There is definitely a two minute spike period in the magnetometer's field readings. There was also Multi-Sensor Verification in that the compass heading change varied from 156.28 degrees to 160.62 over those same two minutes. The tracer dot placed on the MADAR map also showed a Cambridge, Ohio MADAR site to 85 miles to the NW of Clarksburg, but node 137 was NOL (not online) at the time.


III.  STATUS OF INVESTIGATION

04/10/2022 - sighting
04/12/2022 - witness filed report with nuforc at 12:59:15
NUFORC printouts are a few months behind, so my MATCH UFO Officer, Jeremy Haslam had found the report in the data and listed it in his NMS.
08/03/2022 - CIR filed with nuforc
08/07/2022 - email with link to our data was sent to witness
08/07/2022 - field investigators Fred Saluga (SD) and Brian Seech (FI) had tried and given up. They had made many attempts to contact the witness via phone, email and letters and there has been no response. With people avoiding robo calls and persons and phone numbers they don't recognize, I even tried a phone contact, followed by an email, to no avail. I have tried a confidential source who might be able deal with the couple, as apparently they had second thoughts about reporting what had happened that early morning.

IV - CONCLUSIONS

This incident, by itself, is a major close encounter case that, with two hours missing time, appears to be an abduction. Reluctance of the witnesses to an official investigation for something of this nature is not surprising, but it must be stated in their defense, they DID file a report, with witnesses names, with NUFORC on April 12th, two days after the incident. At the time they DID check the box for investigation. What they DON'T know is that a MADAR site less than 80 miles to the north was spewing very interesting numbers. About 8 minutes before the sighting there was a spike on the magnetometer of 10.5 milligaus.The impression one gets (based on Operation Foal Eagle) is that the MADAR site picked up the craft entering West Virginia airspce, probably somewhere in-between Clarksburg and Weirton, then the craft idled down and projected a blue-green disabling beam during a stalking phase prior to abduction.
