Here are some examples of UFO reports made by astronomers in the 20th century:
January 27th-28th, 1912: Astronomer Frank B.Harris wrote to Popular Astronomy and The Times that he saw "a huge object of some kind, moving across the moon's surface." He stated that the object was opaque, black, approximately 250 miles long and 50 miles wide, and close enough to the surface to cast a shadow on the moon. Observation spanned 10.30pm-2am.
June 24th, 1947: The same day that Kenneth Arnold had his sighting of "Flying Saucers", astronomer Fred Johnson in Oregon saw these objects, according to his later declaration.
July 10th, 1947: An eliptical UFO was seen by astronomer Dr.Lincoln La Paz and his family near Port Sumner, New Mexico, (driving) by car with wife and child. He saw a luminous unknown object sort of oscillating beneath the clouds. Its brightness was stronger than the planet Jupiter and its shape regular and elliptical. The nature of this object was unknown to the astronomer.
August 20th, 1949: Clyde Tombaugh, discoverer of the planet Pluto in 1930, saw at about 10:45 p.m. while sitting outside his home at Las Cruces, New Mexico, with his wife and mother-in-law, between six and eight greenish objects which were travelling soundlessly across the sky. He reported - 'In all of my several thousand hours of night sky-watching, I have never seen anything so strange as this. I was so astonished that my impression of it was somewhat confused. How I wished I could have had some binoculars at hand. No sound whatever.'
October 1985: Japan; 12.30am. Yasumo Mizushima had been filming the moon, with his video camera connected to two Celestron telescopes (C-14 and C-8), when he noticed and filmed two unidentified objects 'manoeuvring around the southeast side of the moon's surface. Their shadows on the moon were clearly discernable, which excluded the possibility of their being somewhere "out in space" between the Earth and the moon. They flew close above the sea of craters..' Later, Mr.Mizushima estimated the objects to be 1,200-1,500 feet in length.
April 10th, 1996: near Huntsville, Alabama, USA; 8.30pm. A female amateur astronomer and her six-year-old daughter looking into the sky directly overhead saw "..a fuzzy white light.. like the Comet Hyakutake" descending in an arc toward the horizon, moving very rapidly. It stopped falling just above some trees, and the woman viewed it for 15 minutes with her telescope. It "..did not decrease in its intensity" as a meteor would, and was "much larger than a star." The UFO stopped, travelled horizontally to the left, stopped again, travelled to the right a short distance, stopped once more, then moved straight up and straight down. Finally, it veered leftward and was gone.
