Wright Patterson Visited by UFO?

WPAFB: No connection to YouTube video claiming UFO sighting.

A base spokeswoman said the object in the video has nothing to do with Wright-Patterson.

A YouTube video posted Saturday purports to show a UFO-like object flying near Wright-Patterson, generating enough Internet buzz to be broadcast on the Fox News Channel and picked up by media outlets from England to Australia this weekend.

Long the subject of decades-old rumors among UFO watchers about secret alien spacecraft housed at Wright-Patterson, the floating object with a pointed end drifts with the clouds until it suddenly vanishes in the video to the exclamation of an unidentified Dayton area couple who filmed it Wednesday, according to the channel which posted the video.

Wright-Patterson spokeswoman Marie Vanover said Tuesday morning after checking with the Air Force Research Laboratory there was no indication the base had ties to the object.

"We are personally unaware of any activities that would have contributed to the object depicted in the video," she said.
