Clovis, New Mexico UFO Ex Air Force Serviceman Talks About What He Knew
Date: January 1976
My next door neighbour and I also had some involvement with the Clovis UFO. I also knew Steve Muscato, the photographer who took the original picture for the local newspaper. His photo is of the stationary object that hung directly over Clovis for several days. I believe it occurred over quite a few days. There was one stationary light, in addition to other moving objects that many people saw. Plus, there was a photo in the paper of a mystery object found in a field. At the time, I was 14 years old. My next door neighbour Bob was an Air Force electronics technician who was an amateur ham radio operator and amateur astronomer. He and I spent a night on the top floor of the Hotel Clovis observing the UFO hanging in the sky. He used some sort of equipment to determine how high in the sky the stationary object was.
He excitedly reported that in his judgment the object was approximately 300 miles above the Earth. I also took some photos, but I no longer have them. Bob was told to shut up by the base and quit "exciting the locals with wild stories." Bob didn't tell me about this, but his wife later related the story of the phone call he got from his boss, to my mother. I also heard stories of guys coming from "Project Blue Book" to investigate, but my Dad, an Air Force master sergeant, said that was ridiculous because Project Blue Book didn't exist. As an adult, I served a number of years in the Air Force and my job put me in contact with virtually every plane in the U.S. and NATO inventory. Some have claimed that the UFOs were British harrier jets.
Absolutely not so. I grew up around jets my whole life and could identify them even as a child. Neither were they weather balloons. I would have to research, but I'm not sure the harriers were even operational at that time. In all reality, one has to tryvery hard in order to mistake a jet fighter for anything else. The whole thing was very interesting, and ended as mysteriously as it started. There was no real closure. But if you recall, Clovis was part of a rather massive UFO "scare" that occurred for a few years nationwide, beginning with the incident at Pasagoula, Miss, I think a couple of years earlier. It was a busy time for UFO activity.

Langford, British Columbia Dark Triangular Craft
Date: February - Approx: year 1999 Time: Approx 1:00 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Langford BC from our backyard.
Number of witnesses: 2 Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Triangle.
Sorry to be fuzzy on the exact date but it was along time ago and after our encounter we came into the house and each drew our rendition of what we saw. I'm in the process of looking for our drawings from that night. The reason we were out in the yard atthat hour was it was supposed to be one of the best nights in decades to see meteor showers. We weren't disappointed and had some long colourful shooting stars fill up the sky as we laid on sleeping bags in our backyard (actually on the driveway for the clearest view). My husband was getting frustrated because he kept missing the awesome ones I was seeing because he had been looking the other way. This went on a few times until finally he said tell me exactly where you're looking and I'll look there too.All of a sudden from our far left (east facing direction) we saw a dark shape in the sky. It was a triangle of sorts with a bit of a curve to the shape. Our two drawings did not totally match the outer shape but the body.
What did match was the fact that there were perfectly round holes going across the body of this thing in rows. The object was black but the holes looked even darker in colour, it moved quite slowly straight across the sky and made no noise what-so-ever. We both exclaimed, "what the heck is that" and watched it go across our sight line and disappear behind the roof of the house. We probably watched it for about 10 seconds and were not able to figure out how high it was or how big it was because there was nothing to compare it too. If there had been a sound it might have helped us gauge how high up it was. If it was a toy of some kind it still would have made a sound. We were completely blown away and happy that both of us had seen because we knew no one would believe it. I called our local observatory the following day hoping others had seen it and there was an explanation but they politely told me to chalk it up to a unique experience.

Manhattan, Illinois A Small Thick Cigar Shaped UFO
Date: March 11, 2007 Time: Approx: 7:00 to 7:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: In Manhattan.
Number of witnesses: 2 Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: It looked to be a small thick cigar shape, 1 to 4 ratio, 30 to 40 feet long.
My 9 year old son and I were standing on a second story balcony and we were facing east. The sun was to our backs and it was still light out, around 7:15 pm. We saw this black object about 30 feet long that was moving from the south to the north right over the middle of town. If I would hold my hand out the object would be about has big as a fat grain of rice at my finger tips. This object made no sound and was moving at about 40 MPH, very slow. It was only about 1 mile away at the most. I ran into my kitchen and grabbed my JVC digital movie camera and captured just a few seconds of this object before it went behind a leafless tree.
Sometime in January I believe my ex-wife and the same son saw a black object just floating very slowly above Manhattan just before midnight. This object was black and had a very large floodlight on it shining horizontally. My son said that it was very big and it looked like a batman symbol being projected into the clouds. I'm wondering if it was projecting a beam down to the ground or into someone's home. They both said it left going straight up. They watched it for about a minute.

East Of Cochrane, Alberta An Enormous Bright Light
Date: March 26, 2007 Time: 9:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: West
Number of witnesses: 1 Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Shape of star.
As with the person from Canmore Ab., I also saw this enormous light on the same date and time.
I was on my way to go to town around 9:00 pm. I take the 1A highway going East to reach Cochrane. As I was just getting ready to turn onto the highway I looked left (which is towards Canmore) and saw this huge star! It was like nothing I have ever seen as part of the normal night sky.
I decided to park at the exit of our place just watch this thing. I must have waited for a good five minutes and then left for town. I should also mention that the colour of this object was not like anything else in the night sky. It was a brilliant white but also had a tinge of yellow in it.

Roanoke County, Virginia Possible Triangular Craft Making Loud Noise
Date: April 1, 2007
Time: 10:00 pm + or.
Location of Sighting: Southwestern Roanoke County, VA.
Number of witnesses: 1 Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Possible triangular.
I'm writing to tell you of an incident on Sunday night, April 1, 2007, but I'm not sure what I saw.
Date: Sunday night, April 1, 2007
Location: Western Roanoke County, VA: Nearest town: Elliston.
Time: 10:00 pm? Full moon was high in sky.
Witnesses: 1
Objects: 1, possibly triangular.
I had gone outside to look at the full moon. The sky was packed with dense patches of clouds moving west to east. The full moon was high toward the south and clearly visible through an enormous circular hole in the clouds. It was a beautiful sight and I stood looking at it for a few minutes. I had just turned away from the moon to head back inside when, to the NNW, I heard an enormously loud (jet?) engine and looked up to see a very low, slow-moving craft passing overhead between the ridges of the hollowwhere I live. This craft was just above treetop level and for all the world looked like a plane that had slowed down and was getting ready to land. The only problem is, there is no landing field anywhere around here. Very flew planes of any kind fly overmy house (except chem. trailers, of course, high up). I live in the middle of forest, farm, and wild land, hilly wooded country, in southwestern Virginia.
I had about 15-20 seconds of viewing as the craft moved from NNW to NNE between the ridgelines, then it passed beyond the ridge and out of sight. It was extremely loud, low, and slow.
I spent a few seconds being befuddled, wondering why any airplane would be there at all, looking like it was going to land. Then I noticed that it wasn't an ordinary plane. There were three stationary red lights and one blinking white light. The red lights were laid out as if this were a triangle, one at the nose, the other two spaced out behind, as if at corners. The blinking white light was in the middle, above the plane of the red lights. I could perceive no physical shape connecting the lights. The craft was not huge, not bigger than a normal commercial plane, but not small either.
It all happened quickly. I am absolutely sure it was a craft flying low and slow and that the sound of (jet?) engines was very loud. I am sure there were 3 red lights and one blinking white light. Aren't most triangles silent?
On the other side of the ridge in the direction it was headed is the Spring Hill Reservoir. Maybe it was going there to refuel on water?
That's it. The only other interesting thing (maybe connected with this, maybe not) is that sometimes at night I hear a prolonged roaring on the other side of the ridge to the west of me, as if several jets are taking off at the same time or sitting with their engines revved up. After minutes of this, the roaring fades out as if moving away. I can't see anything because the ridge is in the way and I never see lights in the sky after these roaring noises that would indicate a plane over that way. To the best of my knowledge, there's only more hilly wooded country over there.

Whitby, Ontario A Bright White Triangle Shaped Light
On April 2, 2007, after swimming at the Oshawa Civic Parking lot-approx 10:15pm. One of the fellow's was exiting out of the parking lot by car. He said he stopped the car further in the parking lot facing west. He describes witnessing a bright white light in the shape of a "triangle". As he watched, a friend from swimming was exiting. He flagged him down to stop. Both men got out of the cars, and the fellow pointed this out to this person. They both watched in disbelief, saying again definitely triangular shaped and very bright. This object had the intensity of the moon. Both agreed it would be over Whitby's downtown area --Hwy 2 and Brock Street.
Now the distance would be 5-6 miles directly west. Both agreed there were clouds behind the object, thus below the cloud line. They watched it for a few minutes, then went home wondering. Both men now agree that something's up, at least over Whitby that night

Rossland, British Columbia A Bright Round White Star Looking Object
Date: Aril 3, 2007 Time: 9:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Rossland
Number of witnesses: 1 Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round.
Like the person from Canmore who posted April 1, I too saw a "ridiculously huge star". I glanced out the window after dark, and in the western sky was a very, very large, bright round white star looking object that seemed to glow. It seemed much, much too big to be a star.
However, I have noticed what I have assumed to be a star in the same spot for a few weeks now, directly west over Mt. Roberts in the early evening after the sun goes down. I had noticed recently how it was a lot brighter than other stars in the sky, butit was never so bright and huge as when I saw it this evening, the other stars were practically invisible next to this. I couldn't believe my eyes that it was so big so I grabbed my binoculars to check it out, then the camcorder and taped for a few minutes on the front porch around 9:30pm. I looked out the window again a couple more times and it was still very bright, by 10:00pm it was gone.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (North Park) Strange Light In The Water Then Rose Up
Date: April 6, 2007 Time: 11:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: North Park.
Number of witnesses: 3 Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Very small light.
I had quite the experience tonight, one that I will remember forever. I was driving by North Park with friends and a strange light was shining directly on the lake. We looked up but couldn't see the source, which seemed very strange at the time. We got out and moved towards the lake, while trying to keep our eyes on the light in the water. The water was strangely illuminated. Visibility was about 4 feet deep I'd estimate. This was very clear visibility, from about 100 yards away, probably a little more. But the sight was vivid, I actually thought I saw fish beneath the surface. This was not long ago in pure darkness, from far away. I shouldn't have been able to see what I saw. Moving on though, the light that had been causing this, we noticed either moved from the lake to above the trees (and was the source the whole time) or was silently waiting several hundred feet above and was never noticed. Either way I don't know. I do know that the last time I saw the light/object it was slightly above the trees, then below them and disappearing, then back above and a dark amber colour, then below again, then back up, then completely gone and not to be seen again. It didn't noticeably fly into the distance or leave in a spark of glory. That was it. We just lostsight and it was gone.
The strange thing to me was the size of the object. It couldn't have been large enough for even the smallest human to fit inside. This thing was literally a floating street light with intelligence. I've heard of these sized objects possibly being involved in crop circles
