Manhattan, Illinois A Small Thick Cigar/Disk Shaped UFO (Footage/Photos)
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. My camera then started to focus on the tree and then I could not see it any more. But in the video you could still see this black dot. I feel so lucky to have captured what I did. The very last time I used this camera was for Christmas at my parents so I have footage of Santa handing out presents and then a UFO going behind a 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. I am so glad she saw this because she has never been a believer.
We are about 30 miles south from O-Hare airport.

West Of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan Bright Light
Date: April 30, 2007 Time: 9:00-10:30 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2 Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round.
After helping a friend landscape his yard after work we had sat down to relax and have a beer in his back yard. While I was waiting for him to return from the garage, I noticed what I thought was a landing light from a plane in the western sky. It was low in the sky which is not unusual in Moose Jaw as we have a flight training base south of town. So it's normal for small private planes to come in low to land at the civilian airstrip east of town. As I watched I was waiting for the drone of the engine. Several minutes passed and my friend returned, and as yet I had heard no sound and the object had not moved. When I asked my buddy what he thought of the object, he said it had been there for several nights. I got some binoculars from my truck, and tried to focus on the object. With the first attempt it appeared like a led-flashlight might appear, with numerous lights around the outside and one in the middle. I then adjusted to infinitely, with the binos at full focus the object became an orb with multiple swirling lines, and a grey bar canted to the right just above center. We triangulated with stars and ground bearings and it did not move in the time we where observing.

Port Alberni, British Columbia (Clayquot Sound) Triangular And Then Flat Object
Date: May 6, 2007 Time: 7:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Clayquot Sound.
Number of witnesses: 1 Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Triangular and then Flat.
I Was at camp waiting for the sun to go down so I could get some sunset pictures. I was looking over the Catface Mountain (just outside Tofino) and I noticed that there was a small cloud just below a longer set of clouds. I did not think much of it as the sun can do funny things, but this cloud was just brighter than all the rest, so I kept an eye on it. After about 15 minuets I noticed that it was getting closer to the clouds above it. This is when I started to watch it. It rose straight up until it cleared the clouds and then slowly started sideways towards Tofino, Port Alberni direction. I took three pictures of the object but watched it for about 20 minuets. It was triangular at the start but as it go further along it seemed to pick up speed and get thinner.

Cowichan Station Near Duncan British Columbia A Circular Craft Hovering (UFO)
Date: May 10, 1981 Time: Approx: 9:00 p.m.
This is related to a sighting which took place many years ago on Vancouver Island. The date was May 10, 1981. My husband, myself and my mother-in-law were returning home from a visit with friends around 9:00 p.m. We were driving down a country road in Cowichan Station near Duncan when I happened to look up ahead and saw lights in the sky. As we neared the site where the lights were, all of us saw a craft hovering over the roadway. My husband stopped the car and we got out and there, directly above the treetops, was a circular craft that appeared stationary and seemed to be about 40 feet across as it covered the entire space from one side of the road to the other. The bottom of the craft was lit with white lights around the circumference and it made no sound that we could discern. We stood under the craft for about a minute or two and then it began to move. We jumped back into the car and backed up just in time to see the craft zoom across the open field towards the mountains. It was gone in a matter of seconds although we could still see the distant lights of the craft going along the mountainside. None of us had heard any sound whatsoever from the craft when it left the area.
We were rather stunned by the event but did try contacting the local radio station to see if anyone else had reported this sighting, no one had. Some days later we contacted Comox Air Force base to inquire if there had been any craft such as we had seen and they answered no, and did not seem interested in talking to us. This event has left a deep impression with us and we do think about it often. Up until that sighting my husband and mother-in-law were complete skeptics regarding the possibility of extraterrestrial craft, if indeed this is what we saw. As for myself, I had always had an interest in the subject and many times felt frustrated that the people closest to me had such closed minds on the subject. All I can say is that it really was a life-changing event.

North Northeast Of Philadelphia Mid Sized Circular UFO
Date: May 1, 2007 Time: Approx: 9:30 p.m.
I would like to share w/everyone something I saw on the night of May 1st, sometime around 9:30 pm. The first part of it I was sitting outside w/a teen-age young woman, and she saw it also. It was NNE of here, where Philadelphia is (about 30 miles away). It seems like it began suddenly. It looked like, or closest to, though not quite the same-- videos of the bombing of Baghdad. Only it was silent. And no, it was not a) lightning; b) fireworks; c) searchlights. All the
flashes of light and what looked like explosions were a bright white light.
Some of the explosions seemed to come out of thin air, and others from the Earth surface. Once in a while there would be a huge flash of light travelling instantly across the sky. The young lady and I were somewhat stunned, watching this, and could not understand what it was. I said, "Looks like WWIII," and she
nodded. It was chilly; she went inside to stay and I went in to get something warmer to wear. Inside the house I became aware that both my ears were ringing like nobody's business. My dog buddy here was freaking out, and did not calm down till I covered her ears w/my hands. It felt at one point that every cell in my body was vibrating. I went back outside. In a bit the lights started again.
I felt that I was witnessing war, and the word scalar came to mind, and I felt so sad. Then, off to the NNW, I became aware of a mid-sized circular UFO/craft/ship in the sky. It seemed to me that it was struggling/fighting to come through to this dimension/frequency. I felt that this was a benevolent people on that ship. I do not know if this was a vision of a possible future? I pray not, for the people of Philly, where I was born. Or was it something happening on another dimension? Was the ship I saw encountering some sort of destructive frequency fence? The complete silence, and the fact that it was a foggy night (and no, these were not car lights reflecting off the fog) but the lights were still highly visible was strange.

West Of Ste-Angele-De-Monnoir, Quebec
Date: May 12, 2007 Time: 8:20 p.m.
Location: 1-2 km west of Ste-Angele de Monnoir, Qc, on Highway 10.
Location of Sighting: 1-2 km west of Ste-Angele de Monnoir, Qc, on Highway 10
Number of witnesses: 4
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Very bright light in the sky.
Description: Saturday May 12th, I, with 3 other friends, was travelling back to Montreal, QC.
Around 8:50 p.m. we were on Highway 10, heading West, just 1 or 2 km West of Ste-Angele-de-Monnoir.
I was driving and looking on the horizon. Then I saw a very bright white light. There were some high altitude clouds and the light was way below the clouds. The light drew my attention because it was very bright. At first I thought it was the beacon light of a plane. I live in Ville St. Laurent in Montreal and my apartment is right on the path of Pierre-Eliott Trudeau International Airport so I'm used to see beacon lights.
So, the light was going up slowly, than it started to move left to right and right to left. The amplitude of the movement was about 1 cm from my perspective. But what drew more attention from it was the fact the light didn't change in brightness. If it was the beacon light of a plane, it should have changed in brightness, depending on the changing orientation of the plane. I yelled my friends to look at the light. I said "look at the light, I think it's a UFO". They laughed, 1-2 second while looking for the light. They all located it quickly, and they witnessed the lateral movements. The lateral movements lasted about 15-20 seconds. Suddenly, the light stopped moving laterally. After a few seconds it faded to become brown-orange, for 2-3 seconds. And it faded completely. No white flashing light, no red or green light, nothing. And the clouds were very high in the sky, so there was no cloud between the light and us.
The whole observation lasted about 2 minutes 30. My friends saw the last 20-30 seconds.
We all witnessed the light and it's strange behavior and as we discussed the observation, we all agreed it was a strange event and surely not a plane or an helicopter or a meteorite. We classified the whole event as a UFO sighting, lacking a better explanation.
As I recall the event, I'm still quite sure it was not a plane or a helicopter. I'm a smoker and I smoke outside my apartment all the time. Every time I smoke, especially on the evening, I can see 4 to 12 planes in final approach to Dorval (PET International Airport). They fly right over my apartment 500-600 feet high, so I can see beacon lights every day, many times a day. It didn't look like one.

Terrace, British Columbia Triangle Shaped Craft Plus Strange Marks And Bruises
Date: May 20, 2007 Time: 10:05 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Close to my residence and Skeena River on a hayfield.
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Triangle, light greyish and three distinct white lights.
I was walking my dog on the above mentioned location when I seen suddenly a light out of south-eastern direction. While turning I could get a better look at the light. Description: Triangle-shaped with 1 bright light in front and two at the corners of the back. Body was light grey and the lights were intensively white. The object came in a direct line towards me. After +- 5 the object started to become invisible and the lights went out. It took around some 15 seconds before there was suddenly a single. White bright light just to the north of my position which was visible for around 10 seconds. Nothing after that and I went back home.
The sky was without any clouds and it was twilight at the time. There was a star to the north of the object when I first spotted the same. This is the second time that I witness a triangle. First one back in 1990 in a night sky over Virden, Manitoba. This sighting is my third one of 2007 mainly because of the miserable weather conditions so far. Anyhow, in the last 2 month I do experience a lot " vivid dreams" at night and I wake up with strange marks and bruises across mainly my spinal cord, lower portion. My girlfriend could describe them far better as I can. Anyway, she keeps good records of all things which happened last year and if you are interested I could give you her phone number (we do not live together). I must admit, that the summer and fall of 2006 where simply amazing pertaining to sightings. Many close-up's, some illuminating clouds before becoming visible, blinking back, or just simply following the car.

Crescent Beach, British Columbia Pink Ball Of Light
Date: May 23, 2007 Time: Approx: 8:30 to 9:00 p.m.
I'm not sure if you should post this or not since there may be a logical explanation for it. Last night, May 23, 2007 at approx. 8:30 to 9:00 pm my boyfriend and I were at Crescent Beach watching the sun go down. I asked him to take some pictures of the sunset so he took a series. After staring at the sunset for a while I saw a number of pink dots in front of me, like polka dots. Anyways nothing odd was observed while taking the shots however my interest was peaked because when I take pictures in my backyard I usually get a few orbs and sometimes hundreds of them (I live in White Rock). This has been happening for almost two years on a nightly basis. Anyways when we came home and checked the photos we were surprised to see a pink sphere or ball of light appearing in several shots. In one of the shots my boyfriend said "oh that's the moon" and I replied, it's only a half moon tonight not a full moon. Then we noticed the ball of pink light appeared in a number of photos. In one of them there was a cloud in front of it. So if it was lens flare then it couldn't actually appear behind the cloud could it? The latest photos showed the ball of light close to us on the beach whereas the earlier photos showed the sphere off in the distance over the water.

Karnataka, India Shape Of The UFO Was Triangle And Circular
Date: May 28, 2007
Time: 8.45 p.m. - 9.20 p.m.
Location of Sighting: on my home balcony (terrace)
Number of witnesses: 2 Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Shape of combined triangular and circular.
aily after my dinner, I used to walk on my home balcony. On 28-05-2007 I was sitting on the balcony watching the sky. That night the sky was filled with white clouds (milky colour). Suddenly a huge, bright strange thing appeared out of the cloud and started oscillating (right to left, and left to right) to particular distance for about 20 minutes. Interesting fact is that at that time a airplane was also passing near to that strange thing. If I am not wrong, that was a Indian airlines/Air India airplane.
I immediately went to ground floor to show this to my sister. She was sleeping at that time. I woke her and forcefully took her to balcony and showed that strange thing to my sister. After a while that strange thing moved far away and disappeared. I could not recognize the proper shape, because the strange thing was seen behind the cloud and the shape was somewhat a combination of triangle and circular. Usually I used to discuss these astrophysical phenomenon with my friends. But my friends use to tease me saying that" you don't have any other work, other than watching sky". So this time I did not tell this to my friends. But on 30-05-2007 I saw the news about this phenomena (which I saw on 28-05-2007) published in Dhina Thanthi (Tamil Daily Paper in India) on page 3. ---------
Between Tomball And Hockley, Texas Disc To Rounded Triangle
Date: May 31, 2007 Time: 3:45 p.m.
Location of Sighting: F.M. 2920 between Tomball and Hockley TX.
Number of witnesses: 1 Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Disc to rounded triangle.
I was driving west on F.M. 2920 at 3:45 in the afternoon and was looking at the low cloud formations with many contrails above them this afternoon.
Just as I finished checking the road ahead for any traffic, I looked back up to watch a commercial (or military) jet leave another contrail at a very high altitude to the south. Then suddenly I saw a very bright object between a large cloud and the small puffy cloud I had been watching earlier. I thought, "This might be interesting!" joking to myself. Just as I thought, this I suspected it would turn out to be a plane reflecting the sun. But as I watched it, there was no contrail and it flew directly into the centref the small cloud and never emerged! I watched the cloud continuously for the next 10 minutes until I turned north to head to my house. I thought it may have been a plane making an extreme banking turn to the south with it's underside reflecting the sun. But the cloud was so small, the object would have had to have made a 90 degree turn at a high rate of speed and then maintained a course compensating for the westerly wind direction of the cloud's movement to keep me from seeing it emerge at some point.
I had clear visibility all around the small cloud in all directions, so I would have seen it emerge at some point. The shape changed, I think because it was banking, going from a "disc on edge" view to a "rounded corner triangular" shape as it initially went into the cloud.
These low clouds were at altitudes of between 5000 - 10,000 feet with the contrails much, much higher. This object appeared to move at a speed comparable to a very fast military jet in a seemingly straight path while banking. I have observed many aircraft over the years and have studied their movements when in the air. Unless people are trained to understand how perspective and apparent perception on moving objects can drastically alter what they think they are seeing, you can easily be fooled into thinking an aircraft vanished (stopped reflecting) or is hovering (coming straight at you), or growing larger or smaller while hovering (also coming straight at you).

Surrey, British Columbia Unknown Object (UFO)
Date: October 2006 Time: 12:00 a.m. until 2:00 a.m.
Number of witnesses: 2 Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Like a giant Delta Force helicopter.
Around 12:00 a.m. (just after midnight) in October 2006 late one evening I was on my back balcony where I have sky, as there seemed to be some very strange stars in the sky which if you can get a pair of binoculars you can actually see them flash the colours red, amber and green. I saw what appeared to be a star getting brighter, so I called my girl friend to the balcony to have a look at it. She came out on to the deck to have a look, this was in the northern sky. After looking north for about 2 minutes I for some reason turned around and looked up and saw an object sitting in the sky above my house. It's shape was triangular and I could only see the front, as the house blocked the rest of the view. It was a weird colour and the texture was a sandy grey with some kind of pattern down the centre. I believe it to be 100 feet up.
It was huge, larger than any plane I've ever seen. No, it wasn't the blimp either. It suddenly wasn't there any more. I asked my girl friend what it was, making sure I wasn't seeing things. I started trying to find it again and eventually I saw it to the east of the house and within seconds it's there travelling slowly and floating.
I was trying to make out the details when I notice a large, what looks like a dome on top of a oblong shape. The tail end seems to look like a
delta force helicopter, again shifting position. I now could see the rear of it and this design ran up the back. Suddenly this light comes on, a red blinking light. Now with binoculars in hand, my girl friend is trying to see the object, but can't make out the body of it as it travels over the Frazer river. It moves over the Simon Frazer, comes to a stop and holds for maybe 5 minutes, then heads east over what seemed like Coquitlam. It travelled east to the Portman Bridge, stopped then travelled back west to the same point at Simon Frazer and stopped and headed east again.
It repeated this for 2 hours and I also observed the object through binoculars. I'm wondering if the people that live in that area would notice a light shining on there house in the middle of the night. The spot light always seemed pointed down in a fixed position. Police helicopters always seem to move around a little bit. By the way I didn't here a sound at 2:00 a.m. The blinking red light which had been blinking, only red at the same interval for two hours at the same point to point of travel. It leaves in a southwest direction at a casual but more hasty rate of speed.
