Poplar Bluff, Missouri Witnesses And State Police Watch UFO
Date: Early 70's. Time: Just at Sundown.
Location of Sighting: Hy 60 Just North of Hy 67 By Poplar Bluff Mo.
Number of witnesses: 4. Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Oval.
What happened was my Grandfather and I and his brother where on our way to Poplar Bluff to do some shopping , on the way we saw a bright light just up the Road, kind of like when head lights on a car shine over a hill as it comes toward you.
The light became brighter as we got closer to the top of the hill. When we topped the hill we saw a State Police car sitting in the middle of the road with the driver door open. My grandfather stopped the car and started to get out. We where looking at the light in the trees just off the road, the light looked like a beam that was shining on the Police car and we could see the Trooper half in the car and half out. His head was down like he was going to fall out of the car. The story has more but it would be easier for me to just tell you. But the UFO or ship lifted up out of the trees in a few minutes and hovered for a little while then it just zoomed off very fast. I will tell you about the trooper when you call, also this was written up in the Poplar Bluff News paper. I have not went and tried to look this up and our family had a cutout of the paper for years, but I do not know who has it at this time. Also on the trees, where the ship sat was damaged. We went back to the sight the next day, and I went back a few years later and the marks will still on the trees. There where three prints in the ground where it sat on it's struts that we saw folding up when it lifted up out of the trees.

Breaside Fort Beaufort, South Africa - South African Police Shoots At UFO
Date: June 26, 1972. Time: 10.00
Location of Sighting: Breaside Fort Beaufort.
Number of witnesses: 12. Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Oval.
Incident were reported by others previously. I was then a sergeant in the South African Police and witnessed the sighting. I was the policeman who fired shots at the object with a .303 rifle and hitting it together with (name removed), who was the owner of the farm. What I still cannot understand is that how could be possible that the object have vanished into thin air without we who were watching the spot not being able to see it taking off.

South Monticello, Arkansas Mother Ship (UFO) Diagram
Date: 1980. Time: 7:30 a.m.
Location of Sighting: South of Monticello.
Number of witnesses: 2. Number of objects: 4
Shape of objects: Mother ship about 100 yards wide and round, grey in color..
The ship was round and huge, and had a round door which opened up and 3 more smaller crafts came out. It was very fast, sounds crazy but this is true.. I saw it with my own eyes and my wife also. I watched them for about 10 minutes and I don't remember anything else after that. Whoever they were, they erased my mind. For a long time and now I think about them just about ever day. It's a crazy story but it's true. I don't make up things. I am a electrical engineer retired, but still work in the field. I don't drink or use drugs and I have a good mind and I know what I saw. It was not from here and it made no sound, but they left a blue vapor trail for a moment.

Toronto, Ontario Black Triangle Shaped Craft
Date: Summer of 1996. Time: Early morning.
Location of Sighting: window of my apartment building
Number of witnesses: 1. Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Triangular and black.
I was age 7 at the time, it was early morning. I can't remember too much because I didn't take it all that seriously until I realized what I truly saw. It sped across the sky so fast, it was black and was fairly high up in the sky, it was triangular in shape. It was gone with a matter of maybe 2 seconds. I ran to my sister's room to see if I could catch sight of it leaving in the other direction but it was gone. My apartment is 16 floors up and I have an amazing view of Toronto. I told my sister about it but she had told me it was probably an airplane. I knew it couldn't have been but I dropped it and sort of forgot about it until I stumbled upon this website. I know what I saw and it was no airplane.

Oakdale, California Three Orange Or Amber Colored Orbs Hovering
Date: Either 3/4 or 3/11 2007. Time: Around 8:30-9:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Oakdale, CA.
Number of witnesses: 3. Number of objects: 3
Shape of objects: Orange/amber orbs.
Around 8:30-9:00pm (perhaps earlier) on March 4 or 11, 2007 (it was on a weekend just before St. Patrick's Day), three of us were standing in the backyard admiring the stars. In the north sky there were plenty of stars to be seen, however it was still somewhat bright to the south. When we looked south, we saw three orange or amber colored orbs of light hovering silently in the sky. There were no other visible stars nor any clouds in that portion of the sky. The orbs hovered in a triangular type formation for at least ten to twenty seconds, before very slowly moving in opposite directions and then vanishing right before our eyes. I distinctly remember staring directly at the uppermost orb as it slowly moved, then vanished in a fashion that resembled shrinking quickly into nothingness.

Indianapolis, Indiana Another Eyewitness To Sphere Captured On Film
Date: July 4, 2007. Time: Between 9:30 - 10:00 p.m.
My friend and I also saw this. We were just south of downtown waiting for the fireworks to start at about 9:30 or 10:00 P.M. when we saw the light coming across the sky. It was traveling from west to east. It looked like it was much higher up than an aircraft and was moving much faster. I am a veteran of the Air Force and I know that it was moving faster than any aircraft that I have ever seen. It also remained very bright without flickering all of the way across the horizon. It could have been a satellite, but I have never seen anything like it before.

Lake Simcoe, Ontario Object Makes U Turn
Date: July 20, 2007. Time: 11:45 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Lake Simcoe, Ontario.
Number of witnesses: 1. Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Bright starlike.
It approached from northwest heading south east and flew at high speed in a steady course 45 degrees up from the horizon, just below the first star in the handle of the big dipper constellation in the background sky. There were no flashing lights as on an airliner etc. and no sound audible. I observed object flying straight for 5 seconds. It made very tight up-turn at full speed, flying back (northwest) parallel of original course back about half way.
The object performed sudden and even faster 90 degree turn to the west. Accelerated and in a streak and disappeared in the sky. The sky over the lake that night was absolutely cloud free, of light pollution from surrounding town and 3+ magnitude stars could easily been seen. The local geography offered a clear view from horizon west to horizon north without any obstruction to the skyline. Thank you.

Toronto, Ontario An Unknown Dark Object
Date: July 21, 2007. Time: Approx: 9:15 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Toronto Ontario.
Number of witnesses: 3 + (?). Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Very difficult to describe.
On Saturday July 21 at approximately 9:15 pm , I saw an object in the sky in the middle of the city of Toronto.
I was on a busy roof-top patio full of people. I was looking at a construction crane which was to the north of where I was and noticed something in the sky. Initially I thought it was nothing more than a black garbage bag blowing around. It then occurred to me that it was not windy outside at all (it was a beautiful calm, clear evening) and that the object was quite high up (although I could not see the ground and the object at the same time). When I realized that there was something odd about what I was seeing, I pointed it out to the person I was with, it turns out they too had been watching it in an attempt to determine what it was. We both agreed that the object was abnormal and quickly tried to get the attention of several other people who were standing/talking with us. Few took any note, but there were at least three of us that watched the object move through the sky.
The object moved from north to south (in the direction of lake Ontario). The object was moving very smoothly, it did not change direction, it was very consistent and did not appear to change its elevation. The size is extremely hard to determine since there was nothing to compare it to (it passed behind a building, but I do not recall it passing in front of anything). I also could not see the ground from where I was so I could not determine its elevation or make a reasonable guess as to its size or distance from me. >From where I was the object was quite small (smaller than the moon for example). The object was completely black, it had no lights on it and I was unable to even tell what material it may have been. The shape of the object is surprisingly hard for me to explain. It was definitely not a plane as it had no wings, nor was it a helicopter. I would not call it a saucer because it was not completely round, nor was it flat, but it did look like it had something protruding from the top. My surroundings were noisy, so I cannot determine whether the object made any noise but when helicopters move through the city they make a lot of noise and there was nothing noticeable coming from the object. It moved at a good pace, approximately the speed of a plane, maybe a bit faster. We followed it until a high rise office building blocked it from our view. In total the sighting time felt like a long time but was probably no more than 2-3 minutes. Again, the object was definitely not a plane or a helicopter, it was around dusk and the object had no lights on it at all.
This sighting occurred in the middle of the city of Toronto (north of Bloor St. near Bay St.) on a beautiful Saturday night, the streets were busy, we could not have been the only people to see it could we?

South Of England, UK Small Lights Going In Circles
Date: Not given. Time: Early morning.
Orbs sighted with the naked eye.
I would just like to record a sighting of many small lights outside in the yard to my flat. They where going in circles, some circled directly outside my window, some where in other parts of the yard doing a similar thing. I looked on in fascination as I have never seen anything like that before and don't think I will again. It was only chance that made me look out in the first place and it was in the early hours around half one. I took a few seconds as I was fascinated by the goings on. Then for some reason, I simply closed the curtains and did not look out any further that night. It occurred in an enclosed yard which is rather small. Other things have occurred in this place from time to time, but some of the experiences have been a rare and non recurring event. This sighting comes from the south of England.

Kelowna, British Columbia Small Object Explodes - Clear Substance Protruded
Date: July 26, 2007. Time: Approx: 6:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 5. Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Too small to be sure.
I was with my family and my brother in law noticed a little spec in the sky that looked like a star almost directly over our heads, but it was still daylight and so it looked strange that there would be a star visible directly overhead in broad daylight. It was white and small and was not moving. I looked at it the whole time and when it vanished into thin air. I saw it and so did my sister in law. It vanished like an explosion. Some sort of clear substance was projected from the white ball all around it and then it was gone. Like a force field.

Roseville, California Strange UFO And 6 Cylindrical Shaped Objects
Date: July 28, 2007. Time: 7.40 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Roseville, CA
Number of witnesses: 1. Number of objects: 7
Shape of objects: One Hershey's kiss, 6 cylindrical.
What an unbelievable experience. I was in the backyard for my usual daily sky-watching, and I saw what appeared to be a half-deflated Mylar balloon. This is a fairly windy area, and I have seen many things float by. Things such as balloons, both helium and Mylar, newspapers, spider webs, plastic bags, and paper bags. Birds sometimes appear to be inanimate objects.
In other words, I make an attempt to identify the objects as 'ordinary things' first. Therefore, I was fairly convinced that this was simply a Mylar balloon which was losing its helium.
I had my binoculars (16x50) but could not focus on the object. It was silver, and through my binoculars it looked to be somewhat shaped as a 'Hershey's kiss' on its side. Or possibly an acorn. It was hard to focus on it, as it kept turning or reflecting light or giving off its own. I don't know.
Anyway, I kept looking at the object. It was stationary at one point for about 3 minutes. Then it gradually came to be about directly overhead. Then it passed to my left, and I lost it.
About 1 minute later, it appeared again, but this time on my right, and then gradually went again over to my left.
Then it did something no Mylar balloon of which I am aware can do: It started 'bouncing'. That's what it appeared to do, bounce up and down as if on a yo-yo string. That's when it disappeared.
But then something happened which let me know for sure this was no Mylar balloon. About 2 seconds after it disappeared, 4 lights immediately appeared. Then another. And another. Possibly another, it was hard to tell as they were then moving in a perfectly straight line and going awfully fast. It was hard to focus and keep count at the same time. But at least 6 cylindrical shaped objects moving at a high rate of speed in a southeasterly direction.. I was able to keep then in view for about 15 seconds, after which time they disappeared.
This was approximately 7:40 in the evening. No clouds in the sky. Still light. Some haze, but not much. This reminds me of the sighting earlier this week where some one reported two rows of 100 craft. This was one row, and only 6. But it was still something to see.

Flixton, Manchester UK A Silver Spherical Object
Date: July 29, 2007. Time: 11.30 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Flixton Manchester.
Number of witnesses: 1. Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Spherical.
This location is on a flight path from Manchester Airport. I am used to seeing aircraft at varying heights. I know how to recognize aircraft at varying heights. I saw a silver spherical object move from west to east at an unknown height. This object then stopped and traveled in a northerly direction. There was intermittent cloud cover and I lost sight of the object in the cloud. I used to live in this area with my parents and, maybe 30 years age, I experienced the same situation.

Roseville, California One White Sphere And Two Other Objects
Date: July 30, 2007. Time: 6:15 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Roseville, CA.
Number of witnesses: 1. Number of objects: 3
Shape of objects: One white sphere, two other objects.
Well, I would like some help here. This the second sighting I have had in three days. About 15 total in a year and a half. However, this is the most dramatic so far. I was in my backyard, doing some sky-watching. I notice many things in this windy area. Earlier today I saw what appeared to be 3 kitchen-sized plastic trash bags, unopened, fall from the sky!
However, that's obviously not what I am reporting. I saw a flash, and noticing the color of it, I figured it was time to look through my binoculars (16x60). Sure enough, as Soon as I had focused, I saw a white sphere just 'pop in'. That's the only way I know how to explain it.
It started moving, slowly. Then, out of the haze we have around here, another shape emerged. Then another. Then all three stopped, basically hovering above the house. I don't know how high, but I could not see them without binoculars.
One was a white sphere, the other two were a different shape, although it's difficult to explain with words. They appeared to be irregular. One was silver, they other light red.
They just hung there. After about 3 minutes, I decided to call my mom as a witness. However, in the brief time it took me to look at the phone to dial the number, the objects were gone.

Kitchener, Ontario Strange Lights Interact With One Another (UFO)
Date: July 31, 2007. Time: 3:00 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Out my window.
Number of witnesses: 2. Number of objects: At least five.
Shape of objects: Lights.
A few nights ago I awoke from a particularly bad case of sleep paralysis around 3:00am when I heard the sound of several neighborhood dogs barking, something was obviously disturbing them. This lead me to look out my bedroom window to investigate. I then saw what at first appeared to be shooting stars in the sky. While I was wondering why there were so many of them or why they were so frequent, I then realized they were not shooting stars at all..
These objects would fly one direction, then suddenly turn in another. Some would hover still for a few seconds. Every now and then I'd see one "flash" then shoot off in a direction at incredible speed. I must point out that these objects did seem to be flying rather randomly. In fact, I later joked to my girlfriend "if they were aliens, well they were obviously driving drunk". The lights did however seem to occasionally "interact" with one another, flying near to each other, hovering then flying away. These lights were visible outside my window until I fell asleep at 6:00 a.m.
For the most part I heard no sound connected with the objects, although I did often hear the sound of helicopters - far more frequently then I would normally in my area. I saw a helicopter only once, it did match the description of "black helicopters" that I have read. Being somewhat of a skeptic, as well as being aware of the effects of sleep paralysis - I at first put off these lights to being hypnologic hallucination. This explanation, however was proven wrong when tonight I saw the same thing, also shortly after 3:00 a.m. This time my sighting was not following sleep and my girlfriend was over and saw them too.
Also, tonight at one point I saw a much larger and much brighter light. This light suddenly appeared in the sky, and then moved slowly to the left. I called in my girlfriend who saw it and became rather frightened. I turned to comfort her and upon me turning back, it was gone. These lights are visible outside my window now. I am aware many times alien abductions have been explained away as sleep paralysis. The fact that I had sleep paralysis before my first time witnessing these lights has me wondering if the two are in fact connected somehow.
