Record Sightings in Canada & Mexico
Science will benefit by collecting the daily evidence of UFO sightings
recorded by cameras around the world, to discard the fact of hundreds of
sightings each week because they are extraordinary is not scientific.
George Filer
The purpose of these files is to report weekly the UFO eyewitness and
photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in
space. Many people claim it is impossible for UFOs to visit Earth, I ask
you only to keep an open mind and watch the evidence we accumulate each
week. These Files make the assumption that extraterrestrial intelligent
life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that of the over one hundred
UFOs reported each week many represent a factual UFO sighting.
China Clipper Followed By UFO in 1938.
UFOs were seen over California, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia,
Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska,
North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin. Sightings were also
reported in Argentina, Canada, Chile, Mexico, and Puerto Rico, the United
Kingdom. Creature in Idaho Raises Prospects for Life on Mars, and Peter
Jennings Explores ABCs of UFOs on Thursday February 24 at 8 PM Eastern.
The China Clipper (Boeing 314) and an UFO.
Jeff Challender has found possibly the earliest color photo of a UFO.
Recently, while watching a historical documentary on Speedvision about the
development of the great flying boats of the past, Jeff noticed an
anomalous object following one of the early model Boeing 314s as it flew
over the ocean. This was extremely rare COLOR footage of the plane, and it
would necessarily have been filmed in 1938 or 1939, after the 314s maiden
flight in June 1938, but before the outbreak of war in Europe in September
1939. We can narrow this time frame down, because after the beginning of
war, these "China Clippers" as they were called, were repainted with a
giant American flag on the nose. This was to denote them as Neutrals in the
European war zone, and hopefully prevent them from coming under attack.

Jeff writes: The time frame for this film clip makes it absolutely the
EARLIEST UFO video I've ever come across! This incident even predates the
famous Foo Fighters reported by all sides in the Second World War!
(Article HERE on Foo Fighters & a flight of Boeing B-17s.
http://www.projectprove.com/Articles%20Storage/FOO/FOO.PHP )
It was very lucky I was watching carefully. The clip used in the
documentary only lasts THREE SECONDS! The anomalous object was very bright,
and appears to be trailing the big plane, skimming above the clouds as it
flew along. More on this available here;

California - Sphere Emits Rainbow of Colors
FORT SMITH - The witness reports he saw a strange thing in the early
morning sky on February 5, 2005, at 5:10 AM. It looked like a comet moving
southeast over Fort Chaffee headed southeast. At first I thought it was a
flare or the moon shinning through a hole in the clouds. It had a light on
the head of it and a tail that looked just like a comet. It finally just
faded away and disappeared.
Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.nuforc.org
LAGUNA NIGUEL - There is a star like object in the sky towards southeast,
almost over head February 1, 2005, at 9:10PM. It moves slightly to left and
right about every 20 or 30 seconds. No other stars move around, only this
one. It looks like a normal star, but moves around. No other star around it
does that.

SAN JOSE -- I was leaving work and I heard a roar of an airplane on
February 4, 2005, at 9:45PM. The Company I work for is located near San
Jose Minneta International Airport. I looked up and noticed a sphere shaped
object glistening in the sunlight. It was probably at 2,000 - 3,000 feet
hovering motionless. It began emitting a rainbow of colors, very intense
and bright and it definitely had a pattern to it. I waved my arms,
convinced that whatever was occupying this unknown object had intelligent
life forms aboard it. It then began to move westward and then took off at
amazing speed.

SONORA -- Between storm systems over California on February 22, 2005, the
clouds cleared out for a beautiful and bright evening. At 9:09 PM, after
hours of watching the sky, I was about to call it a night and go inside. I
looked up to see an object to my northeast, heading south.
No FAA mandated red or green lights were to be seen. This object appeared
brightly lit and moved slowly, without any sound whatsoever. To see the
video clips of the triangles, please visit

District of Columbia - Enhancement of Photo
Gordon DeSpain writes, `I pulled the Webcam picture into my computer,
opened it in Paintshop Pro, and, cropped it and converted it to a BMP File,
to prevent destruction of data during enhancement. Then, I resized it to
300% (3X), applied a Median Filter (raised the strength to 6), and, applied
an edge enhancing "Dilute." This resulted in an amazingly clear picture of
something that appears to be rectangular, or, possibly a slightly blunt,
wedge shape, with kickup on the rear, and, something attached that looks
like a raised, oversize gutter (like one along the edge of a roof). And, it
seems to be trailing some type of wake, or, possibly a shadow caused by a
light source outside the pictures boundary. Whatever it may be, I defy
anyone to call it a balloon, or, a temperature inversion.
Again, whatever it is, it's a hard, physical object, unlike anything we may
have in the air today. Since I can't possibly identify it as natural, a
misidentified celestial object, or, misidentified aircraft, I'd have to
call this a real, "Category 10" UFO...unlike any other real UFO I've seen.

Creature in Idaho Raises Prospects for Life on Mars
By Robert Roy Britt Senior Science Writer Space.Com reports, `They eat
hydrogen, breathe carbon dioxide, and belch methane. And they form the root
of an ecosystem unlike any previously known on Earth. Meet the methanogen,
a tiny organism living in complete darkness 660 feet (200 meters)
underneath the surface of Idaho. Researchers report in the Jan. 17 issue of
the Journal Nature the discovery of a community of various organisms
dominated and supported by these methanogens, creatures they say could
represent just the sort of life to look for when turning over rocks on
Mars. The work, along with another report this week of life found in
extreme conditions in Antarctica, adds to mounting evidence for life's
tenacity and creativity, fueling increased speculation about the prospects
for life on other worlds.
Extreme diet -- Unlike other organisms at the bottom of the food chain,
methanogens need little of the traditional sustenance that biologists
associate with life. They get by without oxygen and no help from sunlight,
said the U.S. Geological Survey's Francis H. Chapelle, who led the study
along with Derek Lovley of the University of Massachusetts. Methanogens
simply feed off hydrogen in the rocks around an underground hot spring. No
one knew if life could live in such conditions. So the Idaho site was
chosen for its lack of organic matter, stuff that is originally produced by
sunlight-powered organisms and is known to support other subsurface
ecosystems. "This kind of microbial community has never been found on
Earth," Chapelle told SPACE.com, adding that it "may be representative of
the kinds of life that initially evolved on the early Earth, and which may
presently occur on Mars or Europa." Snip

Editor's Note: Dr. Gilbert Levin's Labeled Release Life Detectors signaled
positive for life repeatedly in 1976, from the Mars Viking Landers 1 & 2, but
for some reason NASA scientists decided to ignore the truth. Many scientists
are now contacting me claiming Levin was right. There is life on Mars!
Illinois - Low flying UFO with Lights Flashing
HOMER GLEN --There was a low flying craft this evening flying through our
subdivision on January 31, 2005, at 6:20 PM. It appeared to make no sound
and it flew very slowly. There were lights on this UFO. It was flying from
south to north and it continued to fly at a low height until it was out of
sight. It did not look like any normal aircraft.

Iowa - Fireball Craft Observed for 10 Minutes
CEDAR FALLS - The witness reports, `The craft I saw was a fireball type and
I saw it for about ten minutes northwest of Cedar Falls and then it shot
due west at about 200 mph at about 8500 feet in altitude on February 2,
2005, at 1:23 PM.' It also left a trail or contrail.

Louisiana - Circle
NEW IBERIA - The observers on February 4, 2005, at 9:45PM, saw a big,
round, colorful UFO that just stopped in one spot a few feet in the air,
and then it took off, and it was no where in sight. They state, `It was
about 40-50 feet wide, with white, green, and red big bright lights all
around it.' It was about 10-15 feet from the ground and hovering in one
place. Finally, it started to move forward and we got scared, so we took
off and turned right back around to see if it was still there, which didn't
take us more than 30 seconds to get back to where it was, and it was no
where in sight! We looked all around, and we looked in the sky and it was
really no where around.' The next day, we looked in the same spot where we
saw it at and we found what looked like eyeballs and reddish finger looking
things. We have pictures of the things we have found.

Investigation Margaret Smith reports, Whatever it was that appeared in the
cold skies over Billerica on Dec. 12, at least one observer was concerned
enough to seek answers.
That's according to Mark Petty, an investigator with the Massachusetts
Mutual UFO Network, which said he is heading up a team to look into the
reported sighting.
The volunteer-run network is part of a nationwide mutual UFO network, whose
chapter members track reports of all manner of peculiar lights and objects
seen hovering or cruising through the heavens.
Petty did say that someone reported a similar sighting that same night,
several miles away, on a southern stretch of Interstate 495 in the
Worcester County vicinity.
He hopes others who may have witnessed something unusual will come forward
in an effort to help the investigation and will e-mail him at
MassMUFON@aol.com or visit the Web site, www.massmufon.com
Billerica police said they did not receive any reports of an unusual
sighting in the sky Dec. 12, but said from time to time, they, like all
police departments, do get calls from concerned residents of a strange
light or sound. Usually, it's easy to figure out what the person is seeing.
UFO network chapters are volunteer-driven, and members come from many walks
of life, from astronomers to factory workers, Petty said. The network
trains and certifies volunteers who wish to investigate UFO reports,
teaching them skills that include interviewing witnesses and looking at
data on celestial activity. The Massachusetts network has more than 120
members.
In a written statement, Greg Berghorn, the state director of the
Massachusetts network, said he sent a team of four investigators, led by
Petty, to conduct interviews and survey the area of the reported sighting.

Minnesota - Oval Performs Aerial Feats
HASTINGS -- I am a Field Investigator Trainee with MUFON reporting here a
sighting my sister had on the evening of January 28, 2005 at 9:45 PM,. My
sister was driving south on Highway 61 in Hastings, en route to Winona when
she spotted a bright, oval shaped white light southeast of her position.
There were scattered clouds and the moon was fully visible. This object
appeared at the 3-4 o'clock position relative to the moon and my sister
assumed that it was the light of an oncoming plane that she was seeing
until it began to perform some very remarkable movements. From its
stationary position it rapidly descended vertically to near the horizon
level and hovered. It seemed either to be wobbling or to be flashing
lights. The object then reversed direction to head directly upwards 1/3 the
distance it had initially descended then stopped again. After a second or
two the object shot off with incredible speed to the northeast before
disappearing.

Montana - Falling Star Explodes Into Green Sparks
GREAT FALLS -- On January 25, 2005 at 6:25 p.m. I was driving north on
Interstate 15 approximately 14 miles north of Great Falls when I saw a
"falling star" ahead of me through the windshield. The object fell
approximately at a 35-40 degree angle for about 2 seconds then
exploded/fragmented and the sparks or fragments were of a green color. It
reminded me of exploding fireworks. The location in the night sky was to
the N.E. of the place where the sunset.. As I drove north it was in the top
left part of my windshield. I am guessing that what I saw was a fragmenting
meteorite that hit the earth's atmosphere.

Nebraska - Oval Shaped Object Picks Up a Cow.
Wood River -- While getting ready to leave my parent's house, around
midnight, five of my friends and I were sitting on the porch of an old
Victorian house on January 31, 2005, on 11th Street and the object was
hovering above a corn field several miles to the west. The object stayed in
the sky moving from side to side for about ten minutes then after watching
it appeared to be gone. In this ten minute time period the oval shaped
object let out a few bursts of light like it was glowing and shone a
blinding bright light down to the ground and started lifting up objects. We
aren't sure what the object was but it most likely, with the size and shape
of an Angus cow.

New York - Boomerang Moving Steady and Quietly
COMMACK - The observer went outside to his backyard to watch the night sky
on January 31, 2005, at 7:30 PM, and spied a dark boomerang shaped object
pass overhead well below airline traffic. These were approximately six
round shaped objects of the same size on the bottom side (possibly could
have been lights) unlit. They could have been slightly illuminated. It
moved at a steady, quiet speed traveling from east to west. As I watched,
it passed over my house and it seemed to disappear in the night sky. There
were no visible lights to follow its movement.
Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.nuforc.org
BEACON - On February 2, 2005, at 7 PM, the observer reports, `As I stepped
outside to the front of my house, I saw what I thought was the radio tower
on Beacon Mountain, but it started to move slightly.' I thought it might be
a helicopter as a plane was heading toward this object. It flew quite a
distance above the plane as the plane headed toward its direction. It then
stayed above hovering. I tried to look through binoculars on a steady point
and this object just kept on moving around and I am unable to get a clear
look, this is going on as I type this note.
