UFO sightings in the Philadelphia metro area are up by more than 700 percent this year. We've seen UFOs over Geno's on South Ninth Street, mysterious octopi-shaped objects over a Mexican restaurant in Bucks County  and strange spotted lights hovering over Bruce Springsteen at the Obama concert on the Parkway.

Over the summer, paid more visits to Philly and its suburbs than any other city in the country. Boomerang-shaped UFOs, rhomboids, fireballs, UFOs that spew a silvery metallic substance that changes the chemical makeup of privet bushes and poisons robinsyou name it, we saw it.

Its Bob Gardners job to investigate such activity. Gardners an official field investigator with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), the worlds largest civilian UFO scientific research organization. This summer Gardner helped organize an official MUFON UFO awareness day at Germ Books in Fishtown. About 50 people turned up to hear a presentation from his friend Chris, an alien/ UFO/paranormal investigator.
