UFO Sightings Increasing

UFO sightings are rising with increased sightings reported from Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. We could foolishly attribute the hundreds of sightings each week to mistaken identification of aircraft, satellites or natural phenomena but most of the sightings claim the UFOs perform feats of speed and maneuver not capable by manmade aircraft. Some claim these are optical illusions, but why do we not have optical illusions when other objects are sighted. There seems to be a psychological reluctance by government and science to admit UFOs are in our skies. I personally had some reluctance to believe my aircraft was intercepting a UFO at the request of London Control and that I had the UFO on my radar. Being skeptical is natural. Scientists should be exploring these unknown phenomena, but most hate to accept a new phenomenon since they would have to rewrite most of their textbooks. It’s much easier to claim UFOs do not exist than to acknowledge there are unknown and unidentified craft in our skies. When I was in the Air Force our regulations required that we report all unidentified aircraft including UFOs (JANAP-146).

In conversations with aircrews at McGuire Air Force Base the crews are regularly spotting UFOs over New Jersey and even as far away as Iraq. Numerous intelligence, military, and government employees report the reality of UFOs. Unfortunately UFOs do not land in large numbers for the public to realize the reality of the phenomenon. Our radars regularly track the UFOs, they are being vide taped and photographed in large numbers.

UFOs have been seen on Earth and recorded for 30,000 years. Ancient caves used by Stone Age man have exact replica drawings in caverns in Spain and France. The Nasca Lines can be seen from space and point to ancient Peruvian cities. Many aspect of religion might point to ufological activity.

Dr. Jacques Vallee in his excellent book,”Passport to Magonia” shows that legends can often be reduced to UFO sightings and abductions. In reading older books, Vallee had noticed a curious correspondence between stories that were hundreds of years old and those he was investigating in the late 1960s.

When the underlying archetypes are extracted from these rumors, the saucer myth is seen to coincide to a remarkable degree with the fairy-faith of Celtic countries, the observations of the scholars of past ages, and the widespread belief among all peoples concerning entities whose physical and psychological descriptions place them in the same category as the present-day UFOnauts. In May 1955, Dr. Vallée sighted an UFO over his home in Pontoise, France. While working on the staff of the French Space Committee, Vallée witnessed the destruction of the tracking tapes of unknown objects orbiting the earth. These events contributed to Vallée’s long-standing interest in the UFO phenomenon.

However, by 1969, Vallée concluded the extraterrestrial hypothesis was too narrow and ignored too much data. Dr. Vallée began exploring the commonalities between UFOs, religious movements, angels, fairy-folk, and multidimensional visitation. This hypothesis represents an extension of the extraterrestrial hypothesis ETH where the alleged extraterrestrials could be potentially from anywhere. The entities could be multidimensional beyond space-time, and thus could coexist with humans, yet remain undetected. He feels UFOs are real, represent a previously unrecognized phenomenon, and that the facts do not support the common concept of “space visitors.”

If anyone takes the time to examine the evidence a person must come to the conclusion UFOs exist. I have noticed better and more detailed video and photos are being taken as more people have digital cameras, phones with cameras and video equipment. We have over a thousand cases with occupants being seen. The UFOs regularly hover over our airfields, nuclear sites, power plant, hospitals, and schools and chase our aircraft, ships and trains. We have numerous cases where UFOs are spotted and our animals verify they are also aware of the visitors. We have some sixty UFO events per hour, that often effect witnesses in numerous ways. They seem to operate with electromagnetic propulsion that could change the propulsion system and our reliance on foreign oil. Virtually every time the Shuttle flies or cosmonauts go into space their cameras pick up UFOs. It would seem that any nation that understands the propulsion system and advanced technology of UFOs would become rulers of the planet. Even today our aircraft are no match for the speeds and maneuverability of UFOs.

There are other aspects of UFOs such as the advanced healing techniques reported of the UFOnauts that should be researched. I had two medical doctors examine the two foot long horizontal scar across the chest of an abductee. They could think of no medical reason for making such a long incision on the chest of this man. However, the scar proved the incision had occurred and healed in a matter of hours by a green light. The UFOnauts used a pencil like flashlight to make the incision and close and quickly heal the wound. There are numerous examples of cuts, biopsy, scars, implants that should be examined by the medical field. My research indicates the UFOnauts use light to heal, rather than drugs. Picking up on these stories I have researched the concept of healing by light in various color frequencies. I have a history of colds and flu like symptoms for virtually every year of my life that have never been prevented by flu shots or really prevented or helped by modern medicine. Discussing this problem with a UFO researcher and patent developer Curtis Cooperman he suggested light treatment. Using a simple lime green light I have gone more than a year without a cold.

Using a lime green light whenever my wife or I suspect we’re coming down with a cold or the flu we have reversed the effects and stayed healthy. I mentioned this result to my Doctor who simply stated, “Whatever works, science has now cure for the common cold.” Billions are spent on drugs and virtually no research is being conducted in the medicine and treatments apparently used by the UFOnauts.

Mars mission full of surprises

A fork-like conductivity probe has sensed humidity rising and falling beside NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander, but when stuck into the ground, its measurements so far indicate soil that is very dry, although ice is abundant.

Photo credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona/Texas A&M University

NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander inserted the four needles of its thermal and conductivity probe into Martian soil during the 98th Martian day, or sol, of the mission and left it in place until Sol the next day (Sept. 4, 2008), when this image was taken. Soil does not appear to be stuck to the needles. Conductivity readings can be indicators about water vapor, water ice and liquid

“If you have water vapor in the air, every surface exposed to that air will have water molecules adhere to it that are somewhat mobile, even at temperatures well below freezing. In below-freezing permafrost terrains on Earth, that thin layer of unfrozen water molecules on soil particles can grow thick enough to support microbial life. One goal for building the conductivity probe and sending it to Mars has been to see whether the permafrost terrain of the Martian arctic has detectable thin films of unfrozen water on soil particles. By gauging how electricity moves through the soil from one prong to another, the probe can detect films of water barely more than one molecule thick.

The University of Arizona led Mars Mission began in May when the Phoenix Mars Lander landed near the North Pole of Mars. Strong evidence of the presence of water on Mars had been confirmed in the past by images from the Mars Odyssey orbiter, but the Lander’s discovery was the first time that a physical sample of water on the planet had been collected. The Lander is collecting soil and ice samples in trenches on the surface, which range from around two to seven inches deep, as well as taking pictures that are then sent back to scientists to be analyzed.

Another major discovery in the Mars mission was the identification of several minerals in Mars’ alkaline soil, including magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride and perchlorate. “Finding perchlorate is neither good nor bad for life. The Lander has also been gathering images of the cloud patterns. A recent movie composed of still images taken over a 10-minute period show ice clouds moving over the landing site. http://media.wildcat.arizona.edu/media/storage/paper997/news/2008/09/08/News/Mars-Mission.Full.Of.Surprises-3419340.shtml

Arizona UFO Photos

BULLHEAD CITY — On September 5, 2008, I went outside because the neighbor’s dogs were barking and I wanted to see what was going on. When I looked up into the NNE, I saw several different areas where there were lights flashing. I went back in and got my binoculars to check it out. I could see then that there was some sort of craft. Not an airplane, but it was too high to get a good glimpse. But I did get some odd pictures. I know that whatever those were they stayed in the same area for a long time…I went inside after about ten minutes. There is a lot of activity around here lately. Not only do I sense it and feel it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

California - Sightings

JOHN WAYNE AIRPORT, ORANGE– On the evening of September 3, 2008, at about 7:15 PM, as I was watching the Republican Convention my daughter came running in and said that there is something “weird” outside of her window. I thought she might have seen a plane since we live in a flight path for John Wayne Airport.

“I was looking out the window when I saw a craft with several lights on it. See the drawing. It was not a plane, copter, or blimp. It flew, but was not shaped properly. It passed through the air, past our house.” I then made sure to ask her as to exactly how she saw the object. By what she told me, that object was traveling slowly at tree top level in a northerly direction toward the 22-Freeway. When I got into her room the object was gone.

ALISO VIEJO – On September 4, 2008, at around 9:15 PM, I was disturbed by the sounds of a helicopter outside in a “search” pattern. After about five minutes of helicopter noise, and my wife becoming disturbed, I went outside to investigate. After going outside, I identified at least two helicopters in an irregular “orbit” pattern at about 200-500 feet AGL at the South/East region of Boundary Oak and Wood Canyon, just North/East of Soka University.

Immediately adjacent, I observed a disc shaped UFO at the same location in a wobbling hover mode (pitching and rolling about 15-30 degrees) and moving not more than 20-30 mph to the northwest. The disc shape, flight pattern, lights, and sound, was clearly not consistent with conventional rotary wing aircraft or their flight patterns, and hence, I concluded it was an “unidentified” object. The UFO disc shape was inferred by a clearly observed ring of discrete 8 to 15 lights. Between, may have been circles or squares that appeared to line the perimeter of the bottom of the object. I was not able to see any other shape features. I am uncertain on the color of the lights (may have been white/yellow/orange). The two helicopters were holding in a tight pattern to the southeast and to the northwest, and appeared to be “investigating” the object. The helicopters kept a distance of a few hundred feet from the object.

The disc was 30 to 40 feet in diameter, and was at least the size of the adjacent helicopters. Both my wife and I observed the object in a slow hover for at least a few minutes. Then, it moved slowly to the northwest and below the homes in the suburb. I drove my car to try find the object. and met four neighbors together outside who had observed the same object. From a hilltop near Soka University, I could see 3-5 helicopters in the Laguna Beach area that joined the “search. Thanks to MUFON CMS

BROWNSVILLE – We were walking along our ridge (el.2800ft) looking southeast over Brownsville Valley at 8:25 AM, on September 6, 2008, and saw a motionless rectangular black spot in the sky. It remained unidentifiable long enough that I became curious and set my Canon S5 digital camera on a rock to use as a telescope. It has 48x magnification that can resolve the moons of Jupiter. I felt no way was that a helicopter! Then, it began drifting westward, decreasing altitude smooth like a balloon, no irregularities.

I finally concluded that it almost had to be some wacky balloon, but there seemed not enough volume to support any weight. And it was bright reflective metallic not matte surface. It looked heavy, compact, and structurally very complicated. The object went between two ridges precisely where a forest fire had been receiving tanker drops four days earlier. We at first thought it might be some recon vehicle doing a follow-up, but it was unnecessarily radical for such work, and we’ve never seen anything remotely like this. Distance to object was about 2-3 miles and it made no sound as drifting west towards Bangor. Beale AFB is 15 miles to the south. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS

Massachusetts Photo Likely Sky Writing

REHOBETH – About 2:30 pm, on Sunday, August 17, 2008, two witnesses and I were at a cemetery captured the photo of row after row of same sized circles of “vapor” spaced equally in a shape that was a perfect rectangle, traveling overhead diagonally. They were all the same size, vapor circles, traveling all together in unison, after they went in a cloud (or above) they came out a little disorganized than their regular formation, but kept traveling and apparently there was another group that joined them.

John E. Combest stated, “I think the Massachusetts Cloud Fleet photo in Filer’s Files #36, above is sky writing, I can make out an ‘S.’

BOSTON – Nancy and John wrote, “We enjoy looking at your website and are glad to see that we are not alone in this universe! We live in Boston and took this picture on the same day as the purported UFO fleet over Rehobeth, Massachusetts on August 17th.” Go Sox!

Rehobeth is 35 miles south of Boston where sky writing might explain the photo.

Michigan - Bright Silver Oval Shape

HANOVER – On August 30, 2008, I was looking out my kitchen window this morning from 5 to 5:30 AM and saw a bright silver oval shape with a bunch of colors right through the center. The colors were not flashing off and on, but sort of dancing rapidly around it. It hovered there for about 3 - 5 minutes. I rubbed my eyes and still saw it. I was looking southeast over the Summerset Lake - Cement City area. Then it zipped off very fast and I couldn’t see it behind the trees. Then it was just gone. It never came through the other side of the trees. I was just astonished!!

Comments: I think that I would be astonished if I saw what the witness sighted. Given the explanation this sighting fits into the “unknown” category. Thanks to William Puckett UFOS Northwest http://ufosnw.com

New Mexico – Round Object Changing Colors

QUEMADO — On September 3, 2008, my Father observed a round object in the NE sky at 10:37 PM, for about 15 minutes before he went and got my Mother. My Mom said she watched it for at least half an hour before she fell asleep. The object was round and changed colors from red, white, blue and green.

Mom said it moved up and down and a little from side to side. Sometimes it moved slowly, sometimes quickly. They think it could be something military as earlier in the day they had two military cargo planes fly low overhead going in that general direction. My Mom said the planes were low enough that she could easily see the pilots in both planes. There were other aircraft in the area as the land my parents own is in the flight path for final approach into ABQ. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Pennsylvania Wings of a Different Color

LITTLESTOWN — I was taking pictures of the sunset and decided to take one over the house when I thought I saw something on the LCD screen (after the shot was taken) that wasn’t visible to the naked eye. I came in to look at the images and realized I caught something odd and went out to take more pictures. I stood in the exact spot using the roof of the house as a reference point. Nothing was there. I moved the camera to the left and right taking random pictures with and without flash. The object was only visible after the photo had been taken and only showed up when I used a flash. It was jumping all over the sky and maneuvered all around like no plane or satellite. One minute it was there and the next it was not and then it reappeared somewhere else. I was facing east and the moon was half full in the SSW. I captured seven pictures showing the object until it got too dark.

I always watch the sky over the river. There were a lot of planes flying when one passed near this light I noticed it didn’t look like a plane. It looked like it had four wings of different color with a smaller light right in front. It went across the sky not real fast from the east towards the west, I watched it for a minute or so before I lost sight of it. My neighbor also saw it and we both agreed that it wasn’t like anything we’ve ever seen. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS

Tennessee Landing Photos

GREENEVILLE – My husband and I (Jennifer) were driving toward home after getting an early breakfast on September 5, 2008, and we saw a white streak of a light toward sunrise. Ty was driving and said, “Look, the space station…or a UFO.” We pulled onto Highway 107 with traffic around us as the object dropped altitude and flew in our direction. It dropped so low I was able to see the outline of the black or gray UFO. It was clearly a triangle shape, and had three large white or yellow lights underneath with two or three smaller lights of the same color between those three lights that made up the triangle. It flew right over our car in broad daylight at 1,000 feet or less. It was flying relatively slow but smoothly with no noise and went in the opposite direction of sunrise, toward the mountains.

Friday night, we saw something else. My husband was alone getting gas nearby our home when he spotted a strange amber/orange colored light in the sky over a mountain toward Greeneville. Even though he was driving back home he could see it off and on for ten minutes. When he got home he asked me to come outside to see this light hovering over the mountain. It was not one of the cell tower blinking lights. Ty got his telescope and we watched the light slowly move behind the mountain.

For three June mornings in a row around 4:30 AM driving to work he saw UFOs. The first morning a triangle was extremely close to the ground right beside the road in a pre-season tomato field. As he drove closer the object rose up slightly and tilted so he saw the lights underneath. He said they were yellowish in color. When he got even closer it disappeared. That afternoon, on his way back home he noticed grass depressions in the tomato field. The next morning he saw another one further away in a different field, and yet again the next morning he saw an object in the sky.

After discovering the grass depressions in the tomato field we took some photos. We found other fields with similar grass depressions, all along about a three mile stretch of Highway 107. This is a hot spot for UFO activity. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Texas Photo

ERWIN PARK — I was flying my RC airplane in Erwin Park and first noticed an object at around 7:45 PM, floating overhead at a very high altitude. I could see some detail, it appeared with some black and white areas on the object. I could not tell the shape as it was moving like a balloon with the wind. At one time it looked like it stopped for about 30 seconds then moved backwards only slightly against the wind then continued on with the wind. The duration of the sighting was about eight minutes. I turned my head and lost sight of it. It seemed to be getting higher and smaller. I have one picture of it but the camera I took it with is not very good and it appears as a white spot.

Fifteen minutes later, I had another sighting at 8 PM, just like the one I saw yesterday and this one lasted about two minutes. It was a star like object that appeared above and six degrees to the right of the moon. It was very bright, the same magnitude as Jupiter, but did not move. I lost sight when high thin clouds passed in front of it. I waited until 8:30 PM, but could see the object. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS

Utah Photo

SALT LAKE CITY –There were three lights observed at 7:08 PM, on July 2, 2005, on the freeway a few miles from Salt Lake. I am sure, everyone driving on the freeway then also saw the lights. When we arrived at my parent’s home, I searched the news sites in Utah to see if there were any reported sightings but there were none.

I took the pictures with the camera sticking out the side window of the car so that the dirty windshield would not interfere with the pictures. The lights remained stationary and did not blink which is why I think they are atmospheric phenomena instead of an aircraft. I will just call them unidentified light sources for now. The pictures were taken with a Canon PowerShot A95.

Comments: I am not sure of the identity of these lights. I believe that they are real objects reflecting sunlight. I don’t believe that the objects are regular aircraft, clouds, birds, balloons, etc. It appears that the witness took the photo to the east because the Sun was still up at the time of the photos.

Washington - Three Bright White Orbs

COVINGTON – There were three bright white orb like objects I sighted going west bound on Highway 18 just before the Covington exit at 9:20 PM, on August 22, 2008. They were hovering with two closer to each other than the third. They did not appear to move in any direction. As I took my exit, I couldn’t tell if they were dropping in elevation or just going behind the tree line due to my new position. They were definitely not airplanes or stars. The sky was clear and I could see them very clearly against the dark night sky.

I saw the orbs for about 2 - 3 minutes while I was driving. (I’m lucky I didn’t get into a wreck.) The orbs looked about one third the size of the moon. I was the only one in the car, but there were a lot of drivers on the road.

Comments: Given the information in this report it is difficult to say what was sighted. I have written to the witness requesting more information. Thanks to William Puckett UFOS Northwest http://ufosnw.com

Wisconsin - After Burner UFO

SUN PRAIRIE — My boyfriend and I were heading back home on September 2, 2008, at 12:20 AM, we were heading NE on Highway 151, about half a mile from our Exit 101, when I spotted something and pointed it out to my boyfriend. I began slowing down, and almost completely stopped because there was no traffic behind us, and we were both watching in amazement. At first it was heading east then slightly SE then quickly changed to a NE direction. It was only about 450 -500 feet in front of us and about 500 feet up in the air and descending before it faced NE and completely disappeared. I thought it was a F-16 because the tail looked like an after burner with orange/red, yellow and white colors. There were no shock or roaring noise so it was totally inconsistent with a true after burner that surely would have shook my truck and our ear drums.

I could see no lights and not even an outline of a ship. It seemed to be floating down slowly in front of us with fluid like motions as almost a jet ski would glide on glassy waters. When it did turn NE, we were looking at the rear of the ship and I could almost make out a ring, similar to a single engine military craft, against a black background, before the burner went out and completely disappeared into the night. The capabilities, maneuvers, and behavior of this craft are like none I have ever seen before. I contacted the local police department to find out if there were any reports of strange sightings in the area, but there were none. I also phoned the local Madison Regional Airport, where I know they do have F-16’s, and got a hold of Operations where I was told the only landings and take offs were a CRJ (Jet) and a Learjet at 9:30 PM, and 11:52 PM, on Sept.1st and 1:30 AM on Sept.2nd, none of which were F-16’s.

Argentina - Airborne Sighting

BUENOS AIRES PROVINCE –We were fifteen minutes from landing at Ezeiza International Airport, nearing dawn, on American Airlines 909, from Miami to Buenos Aires. I had been checking out the Milky Way by dark-rooming myself with the blanket and I saw my normal share of meteors. Then as the pilot was announcing the beginning of descent, I caught a satellite on its steady route, when a faster object started trailing it, catching up with it and playing some sort of game of tag. I also noticed other similar and smaller objects moving around. They stayed in their relative spot to the stars and object. They all headed north and faded out. Almost immediately, another game started, as if the same two objects had re-materialized further south. They vanished again.

Then I caught the same main duo -with the other small phenomena surrounding it as tiny satellites or magnetized sparks with a definite volition- and they followed the same pattern of catching up and speeding unevenly. By then the plane was flying so low that the haze layer made any further identification impossible. These were objects flying at the fringes or above our atmosphere. They looked like a tiny dot -not a point- and their magnitude was around the -1 factor (or right in between a bright satellite and a not-so-bright ISS pass).

In all three instances, one object seemed to behave like a satellite and the second one would seem to do the uneven bursts of speed and angle, looping around, and freezing in place. What is certain is that their relative distance and speed were wildly changing. Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org

VICTORIA — The Enrique family, residing in Barrio de la Abadia, was startled this morning when they awoke to find their pig had had half of its head mutilated. The animal was in perfect shape last night, according to the family. However, around 7 AM, when they went to feed the animal, they were startled by its injuries. The six year old pig was locked in a small pen, walking around and had half of its face mutilated. It did not complain, and half of its jaw was mutilated to reveal its teeth; an ear was also missing but it was not bleeding. The animal is alive and this case can be added to the cow mutilation cases discovered this morning in the town of Antelo. Thanks to Planeta UFO and Diario Victoria (Translation (c) 2008. S.

Australia - Stories about Invading UFO Fleets

ALICE SPRINGS — UFO hunter Keith Douglas is adamant that the Northern Territory has been a flying saucer hotspot for many decades. The 57-year-old former cabinetmaker now runs UFO Research Alice Springs, a branch of the Australian UFO Research Network. He said: “People are very heads down, bum up, and ignore what is going on. “I’ve got plenty of time so I go out for night watches all the time from 11 PM and last until 7 AM; I know what I’ve seen and the stories I’ve heard. I’ve come across enough to be convinced there are UFOs.”

“I just get amused as to why they spend so much time watching us.” Mr. Douglas has had two good sightings, but has covered reports of abductions, crop circles and unidentified craft. He pointed out that Central Australia had several ‘hotspots’ such as the Pine Gap joint-defence facility or Wycliffe Well, north of Alice Springs. Mr. Douglas said he was contacted once by an indigenous woman from a remote community who reported being followed by a UFO for several hours. “She didn’t have a camera or anything, so she painted me a picture of it.” Thanks to John Schuessler and http://www.centralianadvocate.com.au/article/2008/09/09/3177_news.html

Canada - Sightings

BURLINGTON, ONTARIO – On September 1, 2008, at 10:30 PM, I saw two triangular shaped objects with lights running along the sides of the triangles. The lights did not touch at the front point, so at first the four lights looked like lines floating in the sky. They were uniform, and one was much higher up than the other, appearing smaller in size. The triangles seemed immense. They were pale, almost undetectable to the naked eye, it was as though I sensed them before I saw them. Then my eyes focused and my stomach lurched and I realized I was seeing something unearthly. I have had light sightings twice this year from my balcony, tonight was completely different Thanks to Brian Vike

VERNON, BRITISH COLUMBIA — I would like to report myself being taken on Friday night, August 29, 2008. I was lying on my back, sort of awake. I felt a magnetic pull at and through the top of my head and immediately relaxed. Then like a baby I was gently rolled to one side, and then the other. Something was placed under my back. Again I was lying on my back and what seemed like arms came up from under me and began to wrap themselves around my waist. I grabbed both “arms” in each hand.

The texture of the “arms” was interesting. Kind of like velvet to the touch, rubbery and flexible. I waved the “arms” around like the silly robot from the Family Robinson. “Warning, Will Robinson” I was having fun with it. I then had another magnetic pull, and I let the “arms” go and relaxed more. I suppose I was not asleep enough. The “something” that was placed under my back continued to wrap itself around me, like a comfy, seamless papoose. I felt safe. The last thing I remember was a tug to the papoose and I was in the air heading to who knows what adventure. I am amazed how unafraid I was. I have had some terrifying experiences, but this one was not one of those. Thanks to Brian Vike

WOODSTOCK, ONTARIO — I was up early letting our dogs out. I was waiting for them to return when something caught my eye on September 2, 2008, at 5:30 AM. At first I thought it was a very bright star or plane flashing very bright lights of green, white, red and mauve. I was very taken back by the vibrant colors and realized it couldn’t be. It was staying still over our barn roof very distant, but close. After watching for 15 minutes, I started to second guess myself, and asked my 18 year old daughter to have a look. I didn’t tell her why or what I just pointed out to her to look at the star above the barn. She looked in a half awakened state and said, “Ya, what about it.” Then she started to wake up and shouted, “Wow, what is that?” I said, “I didn’t know but to go get her telescope out and wake up the other kids”

My other three whose ages are 17, 15, and 14 all saw the same thing. We focused the telescope on the object and could see in a very distinct line lights of red, green, white and mauve. We tried to take pictures of it with our digital camera but didn’t seem to have any luck because of the darkness of the sky. I called my Mother and husband who was on his way to work but they couldn’t see it.

By this time, my Mother had arrived at our house, it was then at 6:15 AM, and saw the lights flashing in a row. We have many pictures of lights in the form of triangles and lines with the colored lights. As dawn approached all the other stars in the sky disappeared but the lights hovering above our barn stayed until 6:30 AM. Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org

China –Flying Ferris Wheels Seen

CHONGQING Morning Post reported that a group of UFOs were seen on August 31, 2008, at about 7 PM, in Dazu County, Chongqing Municipality of mainland China. The UFOs were seen by several villagers, and a child shouted “aliens” and then ran back into his house to hide. Villagers watched the UFOs until 10 PM, and claimed that they had never seen anything quite like it before. Liao Yukun, a villager of Jijia saw several bright lights in the sky and soon realized that they were moving like flying dishes or Ferris wheels. “Several saucers had white smoke trailing behind them as they flew across the sky,” said Liao. “The saucers were semi-transparent and yellow in color when seen from a distance of about 500 meters.” “Periodically they would stop in mid-air and then a few minutes later, they would begin to rotate, just like Ferris wheels all rotating in unison.”

Liao also called his friend, Deng Daiquan, who lives five kilometers away who also saw the UFOs. “Sometimes I could only see one, sometimes I could see several,” said Deng. He called friends in his village, inviting them to come out and watch the UFOs. At 9:30 PM, Deng saw a brighter saucer approaching that flew directly into another UFO creating dazzling explosion, and its light painted half the sky yellow. And then, just as suddenly, the approaching saucer disappeared from the sky. Liao describes a white band as if separating the night sky. The stars on one half of the sky were clearly visible. The other half of the sky appeared to be covered as if to hide from view. Half an hour later, the saucers disappeared and the sky returned to normal.

The next day, people said that the UFOs were aliens, and some believed they might have been weather balloons or lamps. Dazu Bureau of Meteorology confirmed that no weather balloons had been released on that day. In addition, people from Nanping and Yongchuan Districts also claimed that they saw UFOs. http://en.epochtimes.com/n2/china/ufo-china-chongqing-3831.html

Germany Video of UFOs

BONN – A video of UFOs was taken over Bonn, Germany on September 1, 2008, and Uploaded by Bobotitof. http://www.realufos.net/2008/09/multiple-ufos-bonn-germany-sept1-2008.html

Some UFO videos taken at night may be Chinese Sky Lanterns shown here launched at weddings and celebrations. They float along with the wind like balloons and can cause fires when they land. If the UFOs conduct maneuvers and fly against the wind they are likely to be real.

Honduras UFO Photo

SAN PEDRO SULA – I was on a photo assignment and went up on the second story of a small building to take some panorama shots of the mountains. While doing my pre edit of the photos I noticed the object on the Canon 40D screen. When using the scroll wheel on the back of the camera I could really see how the object is moving in flight. At first I thought that it might be dust on the cameras senor, but dust is always darker in color and both shots were taken at the same time because the camera was set to high speed and dust doesn’t move.

While scrolling back and forth in the cameras playback screen right to left and so on, I could clearly see it was some type of unidentified object moving very fast. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Zealand - Triangular Shaped UFO

RIVERHEAD AUCKLAND — Driving back from being out fishing with a mate we were on Riverhead Road when I saw these lights like under a helicopter above these trees on July 31, 2008, at 8:30 PM. I said to my mate that there was a helicopter ahead, so we were looking out for it. When we came around this corner, to our amazement it wasn’t a helicopter or a plane because it didn’t make any sounds and a triangular shaped UFO was moving sideways. So then we went to pull over to have a better look, when we did, it moved away so fast, like above us one second, next, half a kilometer. When that happened we just looked at each other in shock of what we might have just seen. Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org

Puerto Rico Sighting

AGUADA – On February 25, 2007, about 4:00 AM, I looked through my bedroom window and observed a disc-shaped craft, similar to the one my daughter and I saw previously, hovering motionless about 40 meters from the house and about 40 meters above the ground. The craft was about 30 feet in diameter and so close that I was able to observe curious extraterrestrials watching me through viewing ports surrounding the craft. They were silhouetting through the bright greenish blue background and appeared very inquisitive looking out the windows and passing a long rod to one another.

My immediate reaction at the moment was that it may have been a telescope or some other device. This craft was hovering silently and the whole event lasted about a minute. I ran to my husband’s bedroom and woke him up. He immediately grabbed the camcorder next to his bed but the UFO was no where in sight. Snip Portion of abduction story.

Turkey 1915 Video of UFO

ANZACS — I was searching for UFOs on the internet and ran into a film on the Canakkale trap-1915, where Australian and New Zealand troops fought bravely during World War I. Suddenly after the 15th second of the video, I saw a UFO in the air, which the person who took the film most probably did not notice. I want to share it with you. Please see the video here and look at the sky after the 15 seconds. Thanks to MUFON CMS,

(UK/England 150 Sightings in UK

SOUTHAMPTON – Video of a triangle shaped UFO over Southampton in June 2008. On left side of still image is a street lamp. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV6pWZcYCK0

LONDON – Aug.10 : The British Ministry of Defence has said that 150 apparent ‘flying saucers’ have been reported to it, by the police and military bases in 2008 so far, compared to 135 in 2007 and 97 in 2006. These figures were released under the Freedom of Information Act, and according to The Sunday Telegraph suggest that 2008 will be a bumper year for alien activity.

The recent sightings stretched from Liverpool to Dover and from Llanelli to Derby. Among mysterious flying objects spotted in recent months was a ‘glowing’ disc spotted above the M5 motorway. Royal Navy aircraft engineer Michael Madden said he watched the UFO for three minutes before it ‘zoomed off’ near Weston-super-Mare in Somerset. http://www.andhranews.net/Technology/2008/August/10-sightings-58152.asp

ALTON, HAMPSHIRE — I am 32 years old and am an avid fan of these phenomena and have seen genuine UFO’s (not anything of the kind that can be explained as a normal or manmade craft). I am not crazy and therefore know to some degree what I am talking about. I was in my farm house and upon looking out the window and towards our woods I noticed a strange white light hovering above the trees. The light didn’t appear to be moving and was at an altitude of 100 to 120 feet and fifteen feet above the trees. It could have been an aircraft but I didn’t see any other lights or colored flashing lights on it. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/

YORK, YORKSHIRE — The attached file is a short video that was taken at about 2100 hours on August 12, 2008, this year near York. I was using my computer and noticed that there was a thunderstorm way across to the east of where I live, in an attempt to maybe get some footage of lightning. I turned my webcam round and pointed it out of the window. The storm proved to be too far away and any lightning was below the horizon. I was on the point of turning the camera back round when I spotted the filmed light. I have no idea what it is and thought it may be of interest.

Editor’s Note : We are not 100% convinced if this video footage is the real deal or another attempt of a computer generated object. If not a computer generated object, then this would be some amazing footage. http://hbccufo.org/videos/Near_York_Yorkshire1.wmv Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org.

KEIGHLEY, WEST YORKSHIRE – We sat in our living room on August 30, 2008, at 10 PM, and looking out the window we saw six round glowing objects passing by. We went outside for a closer look and counted twelve traveling a little slower than an aircraft. There was no noise in the sky and there was no pattern to their formation. Some were grouped but some were far apart. We called the local airport to see if they knew anything that would explain what they were but they could be of no assistance. We obtained photos of the objects and a neighbor took video footage. Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org

New Roswell International UFO Museum

James Murdock writes, “Have intelligent beings from other planets visited Earth? The International UFO Museum and Research Center, in Roswell, New Mexico, lacks a definitive answer, such as an alien spacecraft—but it does have plenty of intriguing photographs and affidavits from people who say they have seen one. “If visitors walk out of here with more questions than they had when they came in, that’s all we ask,” says executive director Julie Shuster.

Images courtesy Ahearn-Schopfer Associates

Ahearn-Schopfer Associates, a Boston-based firm, is designing a new home for the International UFO Museum and Research Center, in Roswell, New Mexico.

In designing a new home for the institution, Kevin Schopfer, AIA, a principal of Boston-based Ahearn-Schopfer Associates, also sought to arouse curiosity. Although his 18,000-square-foot, one-story building features a rectangular footprint and mostly rectilinear concrete volumes, a warped plane cants from the west elevation and soars nearly 90 feet above the main entry. This surface, which will likely be gel-coated fiberglass, folds over on itself while a funnel-shaped hole connects the top and bottom facets.

“The concept is that this is a found object emerging from a file cabinet, kind of like information hidden in a drawer somewhere,” Schopfer explains, referring to the purported government cover-up of extraterrestrial evidence. “It’s meant to grab your attention and question what it is.”

The funnel represents a wormhole, he continues, which some physicists hypothesize is a shortcut between distant parts of the universe—and that ufologists believe extraterrestrials use to visit Earth. It’s a billboard building that “entices people from the roadway,” Schopfer admits, but it avoids the ubiquitous alien and UFO iconography common in Roswell, an isolated desert town whose name is synonymous with the alleged crash of a flying saucer there in July 1947.

What the museum lacks on its exterior it will contain inside. A large mock-up of a flying disc will hang from the ceiling in the lobby. It’s this “iconic moment” that visitors will remember afterward, hopes Penny Sander, senior associate and project manager at Cambridge Seven Associates, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which is designing the exhibits.

Chances are there will be many visitors. Annual attendance has grown from 3,000, when the museum opened in 1992, to more than 160,000—one reason why it has already moved twice into bigger accommodations. It is now raising $15 million for construction of the new building and hopes to break ground in early 2009; later phases might include a 30- to 40-room boutique hotel.

Schopfer learned that the museum needed a new home while watching a TV program about the Roswell crash. The project allowed him to pursue his interests in architecture and outer space. “UFOs make a great story,” he says, “and the subject matter is really endless.” http://archrecord.construction.com/news/OnTheBoards/0808ufo.asp

Chile Wants to meet a UFO?

San Clemente – When it comes to attracting tourists to a remote region in central Chile, the town of San Clemente is aiming high — playing up its reputed connection to visitors from outer space. The Andean municipality, 240 kilometers south of Santiago, has opened the country’s first UFO trail, a 30-kilometer long stretch that takes in a supposed landing site for flying saucers and optimal lookouts for extraterrestrial craft. “We support the creation of this UFO trail because experts say that it is a ‘hot zone’ for watchers,” the service’s director, Oscar Santelices, told AFP.

However, just in case hordes of foreign tourists of the terrestrial variety turn up expecting to get a close encounter of a first, second, third or — heaven forbid — fourth kind (alien abduction) out of their trip, Sernatur had a bucket of cold water. “In no way can we guarantee that a tourist coming to San Clemente will see a UFO,” it said in its brochure.

The Chilean town has long been an unofficial destination for UFO-watchers in the know, though mainstream curiosity-seekers looking for a bit of interplanetary mystery have been more often drawn to neighbouring Peru to see the Nazca Lines, those centuries-old gigantic representations of animals in a desert which can only be fully appreciated from the air.

UFO researchers say hundreds of UFO sightings have been reported in San Clemente since the mid-1990s. Thanks to AFP

Mexico Ancient Olmec Cone Head Figures

LA VENTA – La Venta is one of the greatest of the Olmec sites built in the tropical lowlands of Mexico that had pyramid shaped structures. The Olmecs Civilization flourished from 1200 BC to 700 BC on the south coast of the Gulf of Mexico coastal plain of southern Veracruz and Tabasco. The area is about 125 miles long and 50 miles wide. At La Venta we can see platform mounds were arranged around large plaza areas and include a new type of architecture, a tall pyramid mound.

Olmec civilization is the parent culture in Mesoamerica from which all other societies sprouted. Olmec means the “rubber people apparently because they played sports with a rubber ball. At San Lorenzo, Tenochtitlan, distinctively Olmec features begin to emerge around 1150 BC. The rise of civilization was assisted by well watered rich alluvial soil, encouraging high maize production. This ecology may be compared to that of other ancient civilizations: Mesopotamia and the Nile River Valley, where the kings and pharaohs are shown with elongated craniums. At its height, this village had a population of less than 1,000 people.

This group of jade carvings was found at La Venta showing the remarkably elongated heads of the early Olmecs. This grouping of jade figures was found intentionally buried at La Venta and the one on the right is made of courser stone perhaps indicating an ethnic difference or a man from space. Some carvings of large heads had faces with more African looking features than the Mayans who followed hundreds of years later.

The sculptures do not look like normal humans (Homo sapiens) they have cone heads that is cranium deformities that are remarkably elongated. The genetic trait distinguishing them was their anomalously-dolichocephalic (dol•i•cho•ce•phal•ic) heads. These huge heads have been explained as deformities, but they do not fit into Darwin’s Theories of Evolution and have therefore been ignored. The Olmec rulers engaged in long distance trade to obtain vast quantities of jade that included these figures. One of the interesting areas was beneath the main plaza of jade bricks that represent and earth jaguar with an open mouth. They created a world axis, making it the symbolic center of the Olmec cosmos. An important feature at the Olmec centers were aqueducts and drainage systems consisting of a buried network of stone drain lines, long U-shaped rectangular blocks of basalt laid end to end and covered with capstones.

The fact that the early leaders of Egypt, Peru, Malta, Samaria, and Mexico all had elongated skulls infers a different race with advanced knowledge and technical skills suddenly appeared at places thousands a miles from each other all around the Earth infers visitors from space.

July UFO Map of sightings

MUFON reported 276 sightings in July while NUFORC reports 454 sightings for a total of 730 sightings. This is an increase over previous months. There were numerous sightings on the East Coast and Midwest. Data provided by Steve Reichmuth (www.UFOResearcher.com) and Peter Davenport (NUFORC).

California Photos

LOS ALAMITOS SHIPYARD — J.A. Watson Fulbright sent me a series of photos taken over the Pacific Ocean showing anomalies that might be explained as UFOs. Judy writes, “These photos were taken in Huntington Harbor a half mile from the shipyard that has a new ship with the latest technology. Some strange objects and 80 to 100 balls of light where filmed. There was also a dark shadow on many of the films. I can’t help but wonder if this new ship can transfer itself to another dimension?” Thanks to Judy Watson Fulbright

Thousand Oaks — We were on a hike August 23, 2008, at 10:45 PM, the Southern end of Moorpark Ave, and half way up the “bench trail.” While looking north, a friend and I noticed a large meteor with a cobalt blue flare, which entered the atmosphere from East to West at about a 130 degree angle, one of the largest flares that I have ever witnessed. It seemed to burn out briefly however reignited at the same intensity, which got our attention since normally you would expect a meteor to burn out. While still approaching the horizon at a fast speed, we’re thinking it’s going to hit the ground, however the blue flare suddenly shifted horizontally west and faded to an faint orange dot. Visibility was great since we were well removed from any city lights. Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org

Florida – Pinwheel Sighting

Miami Beach — I was 14, out with friends, walking our dogs around the block. We heard a noise, the dogs barked and then went silent, and we looked up to see a giant greenish blue luminescent pinwheel turning in the sky in August 1969. Around 10:00 PM, It whirled and sort of whistled for a couple of minutes. We were stunned speechless. We stood and watched as it appeared to break up into a glowing haze that covered the sky, and then vanished. When my sister returned from a date about a half hour later she described seeing the same thing from Coconut Grove, Miami. We also saw it replayed on the 11 o’clock News.

Georgia - Sightings Report

Tom Sheets, SD MUFONGA writes, On August 9, 2008, about 3:00 PM, an adult resident of Dunwoody was in Norcross and from the vicinity of City Hall observed a black sphere floating slowly under the clouds. He noticed was that the sphere was moving generally west, and the clouds were moving east. When the sun hit the sphere at the proper angle, there was a gleam as if of a metallic nature. The object then hovered, reversed direction and then moved along with the clouds, stopped again and moved back and forth, then seemed to go higher in altitude, getting smaller until vanishing. ASD Ralph Howard has been in contact with the witness and is conducting an inquiry.

ADEL – August 12, 2008, about 10:30 PM, a young adult witness was leaving home on an errand with his Mom and friends and noticed an aerial object of exact unknown shape, but displaying a circular configuration of 6-10 yellow-orange lights flashing sequentially. Object appeared to be under the cloud cover, hovered, then took a straight line path and at one point moved so swiftly, the lights left a streaking blur. Aircraft were observed in the area, as well as some other witnesses hearing jet aircraft, suspected to be from the AFB a few miles south near Valdosta. SSD Jay Jordan of Tifton is conducting an investigation into this matter.

ALBANY – On August 1, 2008, former ASD John Bodin of Wray was contacted by a law enforcement officer who indicated that a few months earlier on night patrol he had encountered, on more than one occasion, a low and slow unknown flying object. The first night he’d observed a light over a treeline adjacent the roadway. Closer scrutiny revealed an oblong dark mass that ‘curved’ down at the rear end. A light appeared to be on the bottom shining downward as the object moved along about 45mph. The officer followed it until it stopped to hover nearby. He put his patrol unit’s spotlight on it for a better look and was further convinced there was absolutely no noise that he could hear. After about 10 seconds, the object turned and flew away very quickly.

The next night one of his associate officers that lived in the area called him and stated he had followed what was apparently the same object described earlier by the primary witness. He had followed it several miles into the adjacent county until he lost sight of it. The primary witness then described his second encounter with the object when it was observed to fly over a state highway and adjacent field. His view was better on that occasion and he observed a ‘cylinder-type’ of ring on the bottom, and noticed the back end seemed to consist of two sections. SSD Jay Jordan was assigned to investigate this matter and has since interviewed the witness and taken a more detailed statement, obtained an object sketch and diagrams of the flight path. This investigation continues. Thanks to Tom Sheets, SD MUFONGA

Illinois - Video

Chicago Jazz Fest — Laying down in the grass around 8:15 PM on August 29, 2008, I was looking up at dusk to see a weird dark purplish-red color in the sky that looks like a plane at moderate speed. I realize that if this was a plane it would be ridiculously high. I was unable to make out a shape and could only see white lights from the bottom. I follow the plane as it moved across the sky for 5 to10 minutes, when I saw another passenger jumbo jet presumably coming from O’hare airport. This plane looked normal and to be of a normal flying altitude, but the object was originally watching had to be at least 2.5x greater.

At this point I noticed that the object came to a complete halt. My friend also watched too. I don’t think we have the technology to reach such high altitudes and hover there. From the time the “plane/star” started moving again, it took roughly 2-3 seconds for it to get back up to its original velocity. I saw it bust a 90 turn and descend. It made a series of complete stops to mad 5 second dashes with other 90turns mixed in. At this point I and the other witness were completely convinced this was more of a UFO than some governmental experimental aircraft. We watched for 35-40 minutes, and it was now completely dark.

I had only been focused on this one “star/ufo” thing and my friend commented that it looked like some of the other ones were moving too. So now I chose a few stars closer to the original one i had been watching so as not to lose it, and noticed that indeed they were. The other stars I focused on were considerably less dim and presumably further up in the sky. However they were also coming to these start/stop/mad dash type of movements as well. I’m starting to think this is an invasion. Snip Thanks to MUFON CMS

ALSIP – On August 30, 2008, my girlfriend and I saw this sphere two times while sitting on our deck tonight at about 6:45 pm. The second time we saw it I grabbed my camcorder and shot this video. You will see the UFO come into frame after you see the commercial airliner come into view. I followed it as long as I could before I lost it. The ufo took the same flight path as it did the 1st time.

We were looking straight south from our deck and the UFO is seen heading in a north-east direction and then seems to stop and climb out of our sight. This happened both times and there was no sound. We thought it could have been a dark colored balloon but, thought it was odd that we saw one and then another one 10 minute’s later taking the same flight path. There was little to no wind. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Indiana - UFO Changes Shape

Peru – I reported our first two sightings to you back in January. Since then we have had several other encounters but this one is the most extreme so I wanted to share it with you. On July 30, 2008, my daughter in law (Jessica) and I were going to the truck stop on Highway 31 at 9:30 PM. As soon as we left the house we saw what appeared to be a plane but brighter above Eel River Road, and noticed the light was not moving. Jessica was driving and I was in the back seat with my grandson. She slowed the vehicle down in order to get a better look at the object that was just above tree-line. The object then came closer to our vehicle (around 700 feet from us). Jessica stopped the vehicle and as she did the object also stopped.

Iowa - A Large Red Oval UFO Splits in Two

Lafayette – On August 19, 2008, at 10:25 PM, I saw a red object that at first was one a big red oval. It then split in two oval shaped pieces which were bright red in color. We first saw it when we were coming home from state center. We looked off to the side and we saw a big red oval shaped thing in the sky. We stopped and turned the car off to look at this object in the sky. We knew it wasn’t a plane, because planes don’t look like what we saw. It was incredible and the sighting lasted for about ten minutes, then got lower to the ground and got smaller. Then in a blink of an eye it was gone. Sighted by four eye witnesses names removed from this report. Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org

Massachusetts Cloud Fleet

REHOBETH – About 2:30 pm, on Sunday, August 17, 2008, two witnesses and I were at a cemetery holding a “ghost hunt” research with video cameras, cell phone, and digital cameras. I suggested we take a look upward and asked “What the heck is that?” Both witnesses with me saw what appeared to be row after row of same sized circles of “vapor” spaced equally in a shape that was a perfect rectangle, traveling overhead diagonally.

I started taking pictures fumbling over my camera options trying to set it on automatic to get still shots before they got too far away. I managed to get a few digital camera shots in. I switched my Kodak easy share 2710 digital camera to video and fumbled for few minutes while I tried to focus on them. I did notice that a second fleet seemed to come into view further off. I had trouble filming the target. These were not planes, clouds, blimps, or balloons.

They were all the same size, vapor circles, traveling all together in unison, after they went in a cloud (or above) they came out a little disorganized than their regular formation, but kept traveling and apparently there was another group that joined them. No trails were visible on each individual craft. The object kept traveling quietly into the distance. There was no noise whatsoever, except a plane approaching formation of the moving objects. I could not find the plane while video taping. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Pennsylvania Cylinder above Blimp

Williamsport – On Monday, August 25, 2008 I was driving eastbound on Third Street when I took two pictures with my LG EnV2 2.0 mega pixel camera phone of the Goodyear blimp. After reviewing the pictures later that day I noticed an object on the second picture of a cigar shaped object above the Goodyear blimp.

The day was clear at 12:15 PM, I was driving 10-15 mph near the Rite Aid and noticed the Goodyear blimp off to my right and decided to take a picture of it since it was flying around Williamsport after the Little League World series games. A minute later the blimp was directly in front of me when I decided to take the second picture. I held the phone camera with both hands and braced both arms against the steering wheel to stabilize the picture and snapped it.

After returning from the trip, I reviewed the pictures taken and noticed an object to be cigar shaped above the blimp at a 1 o’clock position when the picture was zoomed in on the blimp. Thanks to MUFON CMS

SHARON – Our home is only 400 feet from the Ohio State line. My daughter and I were walking her dog in our yard on August 12, 2008, and she called my attention to a very bright disc above the clouds going southeast at a steady speed. We watched until it disappeared behind clouds. Prior to losing sight of it, we saw it go behind and emerge from a small cloud. The course always remained the same. There was no contrail, or navigation lights. The normal flight path for aircraft here is east and west. This was as bright as the moon on a clear night but the moon wasn’t visible. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS

PHILADELPHIA – I took the ferry to cross the Delaware River from Penn’s Landing to Camden to go to the Sea Museum and I noticed something hovering over the bridge. I snapped only one picture about noon on August 8, 2008. It was too fast and it just disappeared as fast it appeared. I really don’t like to talk about this kind of thing, but please tell me is this a freakin UFO? Thanks to MUFON CMS

Oregon - A Triangular Craft

Salem – I witnessed an unexplained aircraft in flight while driving south on Liberty Road, shortly after crossing Salem Heights Road on August 12, 2008, at dusk. The object was in a perfect triangular shape with three white, flashing lights that almost flashed as quick as a strobe; flashing much too fast to be an airplane and there was no red or green lights visible to indicate it was an airplane. Near this location it is very rare to see an airplane from the airport and after viewing the meteor shower later that night, none of the airplanes could even compare to what I had seen earlier. Between these three flashing lights there was no visible craft that could be seen, just the flashing lights in their perfect triangle, even though it was right after sunset when there were still a few moments of light remaining which would have allowed me to identify a plane or helicopter.

Texas - Close Calls for Aircraft on Approach and Takeoff

Dallas Love Field – I witnessed one of the strangest things I have ever seen in the sky on August 21, 2008, at 11:50 Pm. I consider myself to be an experienced aircraft spotter having been involved with aviation for close to fifteen years. On the night in question, I was sitting on my back porch, it faces southeast, I sit out there at night sometimes and watch air traffic line up coming from the south with their landing lights fully on, flying north in direction. These are usually flights that are going to be landing into Dallas Love Field, in this instance there was what looked to be two aircraft in line probably about five to six miles in trail, the strange thing about it all, was the aircraft bringing up the rear was closing the distance way faster than it should have been, so I turned my attention to the lead aircraft or what I thought was an aircraft.

This was a very unusual light, I couldn’t tell at first but as it got closer I could tell this object was not an aircraft and they were not landing lights, it was the shape of an orb or sphere and orange in color, there is a navigational aid or VOR station that aircraft on this route use, its about three miles south of my home. Once an aircraft intercepts this station they turn northwest, the object in question seemed to stop in midair in the area of this turn point, it appeared the trailing aircraft had to make an early turn to avoid the object, once the trailing aircraft was parallel with object, the object just disappeared right in front of my eyes. I’ve seen some strange things in skies over the years that I can’t explain, but this one tops them all. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Houston, International Airport – Shortly after takeoff on Runway 150 Left heading south on May 26, 2008, around 10:30 AM, Continental Airlines Passenger Jet (Flight Number 1544 - Boeing 737) saw what appeared to be a rocket at his “12 o’clock position” traveling straight up leaving a contrail. The jet was en-route to Cleveland, Ohio. Apparently the FBI has concluded that the rocket was a model rocket. However, interviews with model “rocketeers” have not supported this conclusion. The location is “out-of-range” of most hobbyist-level model rockets. Apparently the pilot made no maneuvers to avoid collision with the object. According to the second tape below the FAA treated this incident as a “man-pad” event or “man- portable” air defense and refers to the firing of a hand held (shoulder) fired missile (e.g. Stinger missile).

- Listen to Radio Communication of Airline Reporting Incident to FAA (MP3)

- Listen to FAA Supervisor Discussing Incident (MP3)

Comments: More information is being acquired from the FAA through FOIA (Freedom of Information Act). The identity of this object was never determined. The investigation by the FAA and FBI concluded that the object was a model rocket. However, in the tape above the FAA treated the incident as an act of terrorism. A FOIA filed with the FBI produced a response that “no records were found in responsive to your request.” This response was received despite the fact that the FBI publically originally said that the object was a model rocket. (See later statement by FBI below.) Why the deception? Updates to this case will be posted.

An article about the incident appeared in the July 3, 2008 online issue of rocketyplanet.com (http://www.rocketryplanet.com). To quote from the article: “FBI spokeswoman Shauna Dunlap, who said her agency routinely looks into suspicious activity involving aircraft, said agents have not yet indentified what the pilot saw out there.”

Houston – On August 24, 2008, at 9:20 PM, there was an object with a round shape and luminous moving south. It seemed the craft was 500 yards high travelling at a fast speed with no sound. Then stopped and changed towards a different direction behind the clouds. I live just 5 miles from NASA. Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org

Utah - Colored Objects Changing Shapes

Bountiful — We are located about 20 miles south of Hill Air Force Base from about 9:15 PM to 10:00 Pm, on August 23, 2008,was the period of greatest activity. However, we regularly spot anywhere from two to ten of these flying shapes - no two seem to be identical. They move at a pretty good speed, cross the horizon in ten seconds or so with no noise association nor any other visible colored lights such as what the FAA would require.

Washington Disc UFO on Road

Olympia – The witness did not report the sighting until several years after it happened. At 71 he felt compelled to tell someone about his experience. He read about UFOs Northwest in a local newspaper and decided to file a report. The witness stated that he was going for a walk in a remote area that is about a 30 minute drive from his residence. He recalls having had a heart operation and wanted to go out for some exercise. He parked his car and started walking down a logging road area on logging road about 15 miles WSW of Olympia.

He continued to walk eastward on the road and upon rounding a bend he noticed a dull metallic disk machine partially blocking the road. He said at the time that he was relaxing and meditating while walking. The object remained motionless on the ground. He does not recall if the object was perched on a tripod. He continued to walk towards the object from about 30 seconds to 2 minutes. The object then ascended without making any sound or showing any visible propulsion. No disturbance of the surrounding area (dust, leaf movement) was noted as the object ascended. The object ascended vertically and may have tilted somewhat. It ascended vertically to the tree tops. At that point the witness heard something fall off the craft (dense material) and impact the wood of the trees. The witness did not see anything fall. The craft then made about a 20 to 30 degree ascent over the trees to the north and was quickly out of sight.

The witness did not see any beings in or out of the craft. He said that he was not abducted. The witness described the craft as dull metallic in color with windows. (See above sketch.) The object was between 50 and 100 feet in diameter and about 8 to 10 feet high. After the craft departed the witness suspended his walk and returned home. He was not scared, but wanted to leave the area immediately.

Comments: Two investigators visited the landing site and interviewed the witness. Nothing unusual was noted at the landing site. Radiation measurements were not above background and no magnetic anomalies were detected. GPS readings were taken at the site. The witness is highly educated and holds an advanced degree in biological sciences. He is retired and had a long successful career with the U.S. government. We found the witness to be quite intelligent and very credible. He does not believe that the craft was non-terrestrial and feels that the craft was probably U.S. military. He rarely reads UFO literature and does not have a special interest in the subject. Based on the witness report we have no doubt about the veracity of his experience. The identity of the object is unknown. We don’t feel that the object was U.S. military. Thanks to William Puckett UFOS Northwest http://ufosnw.com

Australia - Saucer Oval Shape

GLASSHOUSE MOUNTAINS – I was admiring the storm clouds over the Glasshouse Mountains as I waited for the bus, watching them drift. Early on I noticed one cloud which I thought ‘Hey, that’s a UFO shape!’ but figured it was a cloud. I continued to see it as I waited, the ‘cloud’ didn’t move at all even though the huge storm clouds were drifting along around it… I was amused, I took photos of it. The top of it was fluffy, like a cloud, like a topping over the smooth white saucer oval shape which was why I didn’t think anything more of it, but it was very very white where the clouds around it were all that dark grey stormy look.

The next part happened all at once. I saw an old fashioned plane enter the area, slowly, and quietly. It seemed to turn, so that it was narrow below the fluffy part… like an oval, like a () shape, then as the plane came closer it suddenly vanished… no sign of it whatsoever… leaving behind the fluffy cloud part that’d been on top. I was taking photos as I watched the old fashioned plane, and this cloud, (I can’t zoom in with this camera so it was impossible NOT to) so I have the series of photos… I will get them off the camera as soon as possible.

Canada Sightings Continue High

Newcastle – On August 7, 2008, at 3:34 AM, I was not sleeping (I work at night from home) and I was not groggy, and looking for my cat. For some reason, I looked up into the sky and saw this object moving slowly northwards. I could not see any blinking lights and there wouldn’t have been any planes about at that time anyway, nor could I hear any sound. I noticed it was moving towards a very bright star. I opened the screen door for a better look and figured it was also moving quite slowly. Still not believing what I was seeing, I averted my eyes to call my cat and within 20 seconds or so, looked back up and it had completely disappeared. I stood there for another five minutes trying to figure out where it could have gone, but it was a clear night. Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org

MONTREAL — On August 22, 2008, the pictures I’m sending you ….I took them 3 second apart at same location and I noticed after downloading them in computer that you see a winged like plane, but problem is that a plane cannot go backward and you can see it in the picture img_0773 and after on the img_0774 its way above the chemtrails and there is a oval shape in the clouds. Thanks to MUFON CMS.

Newmarket, Ontario – I was out again for my bike ride on August 25, 2008, in the evening where I have seen weird light twice now. My entire ride was very uneventful, nothing unusual. As I approached my house, I again notice the strange bright light, but this did something different. I noticed the light to the northeast heading south, and only about 30 degrees above the horizon. The previous two sightings of this object were moving towards us and almost directly overhead. Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org

Italy Fast Moving Object

Sardinia – We were on holiday in at a small agriturismo establishment called “Sa Spiga” four kilometers north of St. Caterina di Pittinuri on the road to Cuglieri. We had lunch and were admiring the view and taking photographs of the sea view due west. On going through the images once back from our holiday we discovered the anomaly on one of the photographs. We did not hear any unusual sounds or actually saw the object captured in the image; it looks as though it was moving very fast though. A further image taken within a minute of the first image does not show any signs of the object. Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK /England - Square Shaped

Birmingham – A bright light was travelling fast, turning quickly and returning the way it had come from on August 10, 2008, at 11:55 PM. It was visible through a thin cloud cover and was blue/green chevron in shape, travelling very fast. Initially I thought it was a shooting star but it turned around and travelled back the way it had come.

Dorking, Surrey – On Saturday August 23, 2008, my husband and I were having a barbecue with a group of friends in our garden when one of our group happened to look upwards and noticed bright orange objects at 9:05 PM. They were orb shaped and travelling silently across the night sky. It was very dark at the time, but relatively clear and there was no wind at all.

We had no idea what they were, so I grabbed my video camera and captured some very interesting footage. When I zoomed in on them, the objects appeared flower shaped - a bright orange circular centre surrounded by smaller brighter orange circles (I’ve since extracted some intriguing stills from this footage).

I’ve trawled the internet for information and these do not look like either Chinese lanterns or fake ufo/weather balloons. We counted 20+ of them and they travelled (some in clusters, some separately) at a moderate pace and in a very controlled fashion across the night sky, only disappearing as they went past the high trees that surround our garden.

The 13 adults present were awe-struck, none of us had ever seen anything like this spectacle before, but the three children with us were really scared, fearing we were about to be invaded by aliens. The footage I took looks far more detailed than the videos I’ve seen so far.

Tynemouth – We were walking on Tynemouth north pier at 4:00 pm, (Saturday) August 23, when a square light appeared over South Shields moving slowly east and very bright. We took two pictures of it. The light was distinctly square shaped with a darker vertical band down the middle. It was bright square and moving fast, no noise. The two pictures were taken within 20 seconds of each other, just after the second picture the light square dimmed and then disappeared. We don’t know what this is but we definitely saw something. This was weird as it appeared and disappeared from nowhere.

Cambridge – A series of 20 or so pinky-orange points of light flew east, one after the after, along a path that was to the south of our position on August 3, 2008, from: 23:30-24:00. One had the sense that their flight path was slightly curved, coming in from the west or north-west but curving to their right to disappear slightly south of southeast.

Hinckley – I was at the pub with my boyfriend and his Dad at 9:00 PM, when suddenly we looked up at the sky and there were two orange glowing lights which seemed to be following each other on August 28, 2008. They were not very far apart and were moving just a bit slower than an airplane. Then we noticed that two more were a bit further behind the first two, the same in shape and appearance. We watched as they just seemed to fizzle out and disappear. The weekend before my boyfriend and I saw exactly the same thing but over Burbage Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org

SOUTHAMPTON – I first got into UFO’s through watching various footage and decided to purchase a camcorder. After of summer of trying out various filters and lenses, the latest addition, a 1000nm infrared filter combined with uv filter 0.45X wide angle lens tele-convertor 2.0X lens, I made my catch on August 23, 2008. I was in the garden generally filming the sky trying out various sun positions and filming techniques. After 30 minutes filming the sky, I decided to watch the footage and saw something rather special. After several viewings of the said footage, I felt a feeling of unease and a little unsettled because I was unsure whether the I was watching the object, or, the object was watching me!

I would estimate the object being no more than 50-80 feet above the roof-tops of the neighboring houses. The object appeared as a fairly round ball of light, with no hard edges, 6 to 10 feet in diameter. As you can see from the footage, it hovered for several seconds before accelerating at a very high speed upwards into the sky, before disappearing out of sight. Thanks to MUFON CMS
