New UFO sightings being reported across tri-state

Posted: 12:50 March 7, 2009

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Mingo County UFOlogist and book author Kyle Lovern has been getting an astonishing number of "fresh phone calls" from witnesses documenting entirely new cases of unidentified flying objects and alien findings since the November release of his first book, Appalachian Case Study: UFO Sightings, Alien Encounters and Unexplained Phenomena.

"Since my first paperback was released, UFO eyewitnesses from all over the tri-state area have kept my phone ringing! Just last week I interviewed a man in Logan County who had a fascinating story to tell about an unidentified object hovering over the Pecks Mill region," Lovern said.

He says that convincing stories of saucer sightings are being documented nearly daily, so much so that a second volume—a much larger undertaking—is currently in the works. "Many who have contacted me have gone on the record to share their bizarre and plausible experiences."

The author says that he believes ordinary citizens are now more willing than ever to come forward, now that his book has garnered a great deal of national attention, and since television shows like "UFO Hunter" and "UFO Files" have become popular. "These new believable reports from local eyewitnesses describe multi-colored flying saucers, green alien space-creatures and other colorful incidences that make the whole topic even more credible," Lovern added. "In a way, the number of new accounts is not surprising due to the size of this world-wide phenomenon."

He added that the Mountain State has a long history of unexplained happenings and bizarre sightings of unidentified flying objects. Among these strange occurrences have been high profile incidents such as the famed Braxton County Monster tale, the Mothman sightings and the infamous Men in Black investigators that have garnered international attention to the region.

His current book, entitled, Appalachian Case Study: UFO Sightings, Alien Encounters and Unexplained Phenomena, documents sixteen UFO accounts and unusual face-to-face encounters that have taken place in various counties in West Virginia. UFO and extraterrestrial accounts are recorded in the volume from Logan, Wayne, Mingo, Putnam, Cabell, Kanawha and other counties in the state.

Also, in his work, there is an exclusive interview with internationally known physicist and UFOlogist Stanton Friedman.

Lovern will be at the Huntington Mall Borders this Sat., Feb. 7th, to meet and greet customers and sign copies of his book, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Joining Lovern will be state best-selling authors F. Keith Davis (The Secret Life and Brutal Death of Mamie Thurman, WV Tough Boys and The Feuding Hatfields & McCoys) and Michael Knost (Legends of the Mountain State, volumes I and II).

"I also look forward to discussing new UFO stories with the public while in Huntington," Lovern said.
