UFO Taped on Nationally Broadcast
Baseball Game Between Cincinnati Reds & Pittsburgh Pirates

Date of Sighting: Fall of 1976 or 1977
Time of Sighting: Daytime (Exact Time Unknown)
Date Reported: April 22, 2005
Location: Cincinnati, OH
Number of Witnesses: (Could be in the Thousands Considering That the Game was Nationally Telecast)
Number Witnesses Interviewed: One
Weather: (To be Determined)

Description (In Witness's Own Words): I was watching  a baseball game on network television sometime during the autumn of either 1976 or 1977. Suddenly the camera switched from the game to something suspended in the sky. The "something" looked like a three story building hanging at an angle of about 30%. One of the commentators said "what is that?" The other commentator said "I have no idea." The camera panned back to the game. A few minutes later the camera again turned to the object. One commentator said "What IS that." The other again disclaimed any knowledge about it. Again a few minutes later the camera turned to the object, this time switching to a telephoto lens. One commentator said "I want to know what THAT is." The other indicated that he would like to know as well. I waited expectantly for the evening news, but there was no mention of the incident either on the local or the national news. Eventually I almost forgot about this strange "sighting." I am (almost) sure I was watching a baseball game between Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. The game was in Cincinnati.  The home team should still have a tape recording of the game, which might prove very interesting.

Investigator's Notes: This report is interesting considering that the witness said that a UFO was seen by the film crew at a nationally telecast game.  I have received a response to my email from the witness.  The witness seems certain that the event occurred at a baseball game in Cincinnati in late season.  I have made several inquiries to try to obtain a copy of the tape of the game viewed by the witness.  I have exhausted my efforts and have been unable to obtain a copy of the tape.  I urge anyone who knows where I can find a tape of a baseball game in September, 1977 between the Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates (played in Cincinnati) to contact me. 

Update April 7, 2008: A fan in the Cincinnati area provided information that the Reds and Pirates did not meet in September of 1976 or 1977. Their latest meeting was in August of both years.
