Napoleon, Michigan One Circular, Two Crescent & Later One Egg Shaped
Date: July 6, 1992
Time: 3:00 a.m.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 3
Shape of objects: 1 Circular, 2 Crescent & later 1 Egg-shaped.
Full Description of event/sighting: This was the first UFO I ever saw. I was living at my mother & stepfather's house at the time. My older sister and her husband were renting the basement until their new house was ready to move into. My mother had got up to let her small dog out onto the back deck. The sky was clear. Something fell onto the back deck and made a noise. My mother let the dog back in and checked the front door. Immediately after this she woke me up, saying there was something outside. We went to the front door and she pointed toward what I thought at first was the moon. After looking closer, I saw that it was too bright to be the moon. It was an oval-shaped object with the outer ends of the oval pointed up and down. Below, both to the right and left of this object, were two crescent or boomerang-shaped objects approaching this larger and brighter object.
I ran downstairs, woke up my sister and urged her to get her camcorder out. We went back upstairs to find that my mother had stepped out onto the back deck. After following her onto the back deck, we saw that there was now one large, egg-shaped object about 450 yards away flying just above a line of trees. The front and back halves of the egg-shaped object were red and blue, although I don't remember which half was which color. The object seemed as large as a two-story house at least. It moved out of sight beyond the tree line without us getting any video of it. I believe my mother later said that the three objects we saw earlier had merged together to form this object.

Western Edge Of City Of Jackson, Michigan UFO Sighting !
Date: July 2, 2004
Time: 8:50 p.m. (initially)
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1 or 2
Shape of objects: Circular with ring, circular, three dots.
Full Description of event/sighting: I was leaving the parking lot of my apartment complex. Looking down this street, I noticed something in the sky between the line of trees on either side of the street and just past the dead-end point of the road. It was a bright, white object three times the size and brightness of Venus and it had a misty white, thick ring of fog or cloud around it.
The sky was clear except for this ring around the object. Had the object been located anywhere other than what it was in that direction I wouldn't have seen it; there is a very narrow view of the sky over the airport because of all the trees down that street. I knew this was something unusual, and having seen a strange object three days earlier on 02/04/2004, I decided to back my truck up and get my camcorder from my apartment. After doing so, I drove back to where I was a couple of minutes ago and the object was still there. I noticed a car at the first stop sign that wasn't moving. I decided to go in that direction to try to get closer to the object so I could videotape it (In hindsight I should have immediately videotaped from where I was at!). I drove up behind the car at the stop sign; I could tell that the driver was staring at the object and this was why he had not proceeded through the stop sign. Suddenly he noticed that I was behind him and slowly moved on, turning left. I continued west through the stop sign in the direction of the airport and at some point I lost sight of the object.
I decided to drive another mile and a half to a bowling alley across from the airport and try to find the object in the sky again, because there is a clear view of the sky there. When I arrived there I noticed what I thought at first to be a star. It looked too bright to be a star, though, so I began videotaping at 9:00pm. As I videotaped, the object seemed to dim and brighten. I thought this was strange because the sky was clear. On the videotape, the object can be seen turning into three small, white lights and it seems to be rotating or spinning. After a minute it dimmed and vanished, but seemed to relocate a short distance to the south. I repositioned the camcorder and continued videotaping the object near the bowling alley building. It seemed to make a slow, downward movement behind some trees and can be seen on the videotape moving behind tree branches. When the object was completely obscured by a large pine tree, I drove after it toward the west and into the township of Parma. On the way there, I spotted it twice over some treetops as a circle with a ring around it again, then lost it when I reached Parma. At this point I decided to go back to the city of Jackson and continue with my original plans for the evening. I saw the second object (flying triangle) at 9:50pm while stopped at an ATM machine.

Battersea, London Witness Says It Was The Brightest Strobe I Have Ever Seen
Date: Early November 2004
Time: 3.00 a.m.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: None
Full Description of event/sighting: Hi, I was staying at a friend's house and was in bed, but unable to sleep. The curtains were open and I could see out of the window from where my head was laying on the pillow. I could see the tops of the houses across the street (it was a third floor apartment that I was in) and the sky above them.
Suddenly I witnessed the brightest strobe light I have ever seen. It seemed to come from within a patch of fog, although it wasn't a foggy night. It was silent, and the centre of the light was about 200 ft from the ground. It was so bright that it illuminated the entire street to a level much brighter than daylight. It went on for about 30 seconds and it was interesting to note that it didn't hurt my eyes despite being so extremely bright. The flashes were at a constant speed of about 8 per second.
I immediately jumped from the bed and opened the window to see if there was anybody else in the street, or passing cars that were also seeing what I was seeing. I saw two men about 100 yards away that were stopped in their tracks and pointing to it - this pleased me because it was such a surreal sight that I needed to know that someone else had seen it and I wasn't imaging it!
There is an electric railway line nearby, and I had considered that maybe it was someone welding or that it may have been arc lights from trains, but I feel that explanation would be impossible due to the sheer intensity of the light, and it's clear epicentre about 200ft in the air.

Houston, British Columbia Craft Completely Lit Up
Date: August 22, 2006
Time: Approx: 10:20
I spoke to a man in the Houston Shopping Center who reported to me that he and his wife watched an object move slowly and on a direct flight path across most of the night sky. After traveling approximately 3/4 the way across the sky the object made a sharp turn which the witness believed was straight up and finally disappeared. He said the entire craft was all lit up. The object was at a good distance away and he was not able to observe any detail other than it making a strange turn and being fully lit.

Houston, British Columbia Fireball Sighting
Date: August 23, 2006
Time: Approx: 7:40 p.m.
HBCC UFO Research Note: I have talked to a number of eyewitnesses to Fireball sighting here in Houston, B.C. Numerous people watched a large Fireball streak low through the sky on Wednesday, August 23, 2006. The Fireball flew from the south to the north over top of Mount Harry Davis. There was a trial following behind and no sound was heard.
Thank you to everyone for the reports. There were 9 people so far that witnesses this sighting.

Springbank Airport, Calgary Alberta - Pilot Sighting
Date: August 26, 2006
Time: 9:05 p.m.
Description: As I taxied my aircraft a Cessna 172 to the hold line of runway 25 at the Springbank airport, I was cleared for take-off to remain in the circuit (a traffic pattern resembling a race track around an active runway for the purposes of training, and maneuvering aircraft in and out of an airport). I observed my intended flight path to note an object that originally resembled an Airship, which from my perspective would have been over or very near the town of Cochrane. The object was "egg" shaped, and appeared to be dark grey or black in colour, however most of this was as a result of being against the background of the sunset. I inquired with the Tower Controller if there was indeed an aircraft working over Cochrane, or in that direction to which I was advised "no".
I then observed the object appear to change to a circular shape, and rapidly back to it's original "egg" shape. I
reported this to the Tower Controller and remained in my position at the end of Runway 25.
At this time I observed the object move easterly and stop in a very defined motion with no sign of acceleration or
deceleration. The object again altered shape, and moved upwards slowly but again with very defined motion. My report continued to Air Traffic Control and it was advised to me that there was nothing on Radar. Another Cessna 172 aircraft
transiting the Control Zone advised that the same object (or one of similar description) was observed over the Control
Tower approximately 5-10 minutes prior with "No Lights, No Sound".
My Commercial Flight Instructor was in a Piper Arrow behind my aircraft in cue for take-off and observed this object and copied all of our radio transmissions. I was still cleared for Take-off into the circuit, and advised that once at
circuit altitude (1000 feet above ground level) I would give further information. At this time the object moved west,
stopped, and continued east bound, when it disappeared. No further visual contact was made with the object that I saw, to the best of my knowledge.

Lake Huron, Ontario Flashing Star-Like Object
Date: August 31, 2006
Time: When the sun went down (unknown time) to 11:35. It's still there.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Couldn't tell, it's the size of a star.
Full Description of event/sighting: I work at a restaurant, and as I was taking the garbage out (It was dark) I looked towards the beach sky. There was a single star, but it flashed green, blue, whiteish yellow, and red very quickly. The colors mixed as they flashed, like it was multiple lights going off at the same time.
I was picked up by my dad, and after I told him about it, he looked and said: "That's really weird, Never seen anything like that, could be a UFO. Look it up on the internet, to see any reports like that."
I did, and found this sight. Before I typed this (It's still present as I type this, I went on MSN and told several friends. They all looked and described what I saw as well.

Caledon, Ontario Object Stops - Moved Slowly Up And Down
Date: August 31, 2006
Time: Between 11:00pm -11:45pm
Late night I went out to my deck for a smoke and I noticed something quickly moving down in the NE sky, at first I thought it was a plane, but when it stopped and then started to moved slowly up and down, back and forth I new what it wasn't. I watched it for about 45 min. as it flashed in the far sky.I did take pictures but it was to far away to really make anything of it, although with all the stars that were out I only managed to get it on film. The location would have been North of Toronto and from where I live in Caledon, it was NE.
I saw this last night Aug 31st between 11:00pm @ 11:45pm, I watched for about 45 min. Plus I also noticed when I was taking pictures that the awed time it appeared to flash a little brighter

Winnipeg, Manitoba Jet Fighter In Pursuit Of A UFO
Date: September 1, 2006
Time: Approx: 8:00 p.m.
Message: Friday, Sept.1/06 at approx. 8:00 p.m. I was watching TV with my 3 year old son in the living room when I heard the distant sound of a fighter jet flying relatively close by. I quickly walked into the kitchen and opened our patio doors to see if I could spot it. I located it pretty much straight north of our house (pretty sure it was a CF-18) He was pretty high up. I would guess around 5000 feet. He was heading south and started making a hard right turn towards the west. I looked further to the west and noticed a fairly bright object that was flying in a northerly direction. Within 2-3 seconds of me spotting the object, it changed direction to the west and started to climb. The fighter changed direction also. It clearly was in pursuit. I lost sight of the object as it seemed to have climbed through the clouds. I kept my eyes on the fighter until it either disappeared through the clouds or was too far away to see. The fighter was really moving. From the time I spotted the fighter to the time I lost sight of it was only about 10 seconds. I called to my wife to "come and see what this thing is chasing" but she was too late. For the next 20 minutes I observed 4 or 5 passenger jets that had just taken off from Winnipeg International.
Airport head south and then bank to the west. Each one of them caught a reflection of the sun as they gained altitude. At that point you couldn't make out the shape of the plane. All I could see was a bright reflection. Compared to the UFO however, the jet liners were traveling a fraction of the speed (approx: 5x slower) and they took alot longer to disappear from sight. The fighter was flying the same direction as the object but it never reflected back any of the sunlight. The fighter was just a black dot against the clouds. The UFO was larger than the fighter and much faster than the passenger planes. It also seemed to be dipping and diving in a strange way as it flew off. It didn't look natural whatever it was or maybe my eyes were playing tricks?, I don't know. It did stand out from the fighter and the passenger jets though. Very weird.

Kamloops British Columbia A Formation Of Lights
Date: September 1, 2006
Time: Approx: 12:45 a.m.
Message: I live in Kamloops BC and last night Aug 31, 2006 at around 12:45 am, oh I guess that would be Sept 1, 2006, my boyfriend and I went outside to have a smoke and saw what looked like a bird formation of lights about 5 or 6 moving very fast across the sky. They looked like glow in the dark birds is the only way I know how to describe it. Then they just disappeared I don't know if it was because they were moving so fast and just went out of sight. They seemed individual because they didn't stay the same distance apart.

Queensland Beach, Nova Scotia Falling Object Stops & Changes Direction
Date: September 2, 2006
Time: 9:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round.
Full Description of event/sighting: My friend and I were at the cottage standing on the deck barbequing some steak. He was looking up at the stars and noticed what looked to be a star that was moving quickly. He pointed it out to me and we watched it as it appeared to be falling towards the earth. It did not at all look like a falling star- it was moving quickly and was not "twinkling" at all. It moved downward and then seemed to stop, change direction and shoot away until it disappeared entirely. All this might have taken 2 minutes. Throughout the time we watched it, it remained constant in size, shape and brightness until it changed direction. It looked from where we were exactly like all the stars we could see, similar in size and brightness (a bit brighter than some). It is impossible to judge the distance. We could see planes flying overhead that were much closer than the object and were very clearly planes.
