Bucks county residents have snapped pictures of what they believe are UFOs.



There have been dozens of sightings recently in the suburban Philadelphia
county, and Fox 29's Gerald Kolpan found neighbors aren't afraid to talk
about it.



So far, nobody has reported taking a ride in any unidentified flying
objects. But people who never believed in them before say they've sighted
them, literally, in their own backyards.



Kolpan reported that, back when he was a kid, it seemed people spotted UFOs
every few minutes and there was something of a panic over them. Most of that
panic has subsided, but people still see them -- especially people in Bucks
County.



"The first time I've ever seen it was above this yellow townhouse," said
Denise, who believes she was a UFO witness.



Denise -- who said she has never believed in little green men and didn't
want her last name used for fear of weirdoes -- has seen UFOs over her
backyard five times since April.



"It was kind of like oval shaped and it was about the size of a car, a small
car, and it had three giant headlights on the bottom of it," she said.



Since June 25 between Bucks and Philadelphia, 44 such bogeys have been
spied.



How do we know? Well, people like Denise have pictures.



"Between the malls to my right and Don Pablo's is right here there's been
V-shaped objects," said Bob Gardner, a field investigator for MUFON -- the
Mutual UFO Network.



He says the sightings over Bucks are legion, in regular old neighborhoods,
right over the Oxford Valley Mall and above the site of the now-shuttered
Don Pablo's restaurant.



"With the universe that vast, it's like Columbus discovered America, these
aliens or extraterrestrials are trying to discover new worlds," Gardner
said.



Of course, none of this explains the mystery of why the Don Pablo's closed
down. But maybe the aliens are like everyone else and love Mexican food and
they abducted the kitchen staff.


"I understand they do that with people they like," said Kolpan, right before
beaming out.
