Editor Peter ZS2ABF;
I just had two interviews by two reporters from 2 local weekly newspapers. As
a result of the articles published by them I received the above information.
I will describe what this lady told me by telephone.
Sighting 1
Port Elizabeth On The South East Coast Of South Africa Three UFO Sightings
Time: +- 20 years ago.
Witnesses: 2.
Reported to Peter ZS2ABF by Carol over the phone.
Description of phone conversation: My name is Carol (Surname removed as
requested) I am going back many years but the story is still in my mind.
My parents were out taking their early evening stroll by the Golf course on
Mill Park road in Port Elizabeth, when they saw on the Golf course an UFO,
which had landed. Carol cannot remember details as it was too long ago but she
remembers them telling her that they saw no activity or aliens and, cannot
remember what happened after that.
----------
Sighting 2:
Johannesburg To Port Elizabeth, South Africa UFO Travels Alongside Of Car
Time +- 20 years ago.
Carol was driving from Johannesburg to Port Elizabeth (A distance of over 1000
Km by road) alone in her motorcar at 3:00 am in the morning. The weather was
clear and fine.
As she left Cradock she saw through the front windscreen of the car, a UFO
travelling alongside her. It was about the size of a car and a bright red
colour. The distance to her destination was another 200 Km. The UFO kept pace
with her for the rest of the trip. She was not afraid and, felt that it was
comforting her and accompanying her on the long journey.
-------
Sighting 3 (not actually a sighting but a report of several alleged sightings)
Location: Groendal Nr. Uitenhage, outside Port Elizabeth.
This area is like a Nature reserve and a permit is required to enter. It is
sparsely populated with only the odd farmhouse or two.
Time Weekend of 8 - 9th March 2008.
Description: Carol visited this area and on arrival at an uninhabited
farmhouse felt an Energy that flowed through and about the area. This feeling
of energy gave her peace and tranquillity. Carol mentioned that in 1976 the
local people say a UFO landed and Aliens were observed. This was reported in a
local newspaper.
She has offered to try to get a copy of the article and Email it to me. Many
sightings have been seen in the area and are continuing at this moment.
Carol also say's that, the aliens will make themselves known in 2012, when the
Mayan calendar ends.
I would like any person from that area to report any stories of UFO's in this
neck of the woods.
We had a long chat about Aliens and then went on to tell me this;
She was not alarmed when sighting a UFO, as she has always known that she is
not of this world but that she came from the Pleiades. When I asked her how
she new she replied," I just feel it within myself". She remembers when she
was in the Amazon Jungle on holiday she looked up at the magnificent sky full
of stars and seeing the Pleiades made her feel good, contented and at home.

Burekup, Western Australia A Ball Of Fluorescent Orange
Date: 1968 & 1977
Time: Daytime.
I was 8 years old and playing a children's game of 'snakes and ladders' along
with my two brothers in the bedroom of our house in Burekup Western Australia.
The curtains had been pulled across to keep the room as cool as possible in
the 40 degree heat of summer. Outside the bedroom was a paddock
with wild oats and some calves roaming the area. The sky was clear blue on
this day.
To our surprise a ball of fluorescent orange appeared out of nowhere in front
of us next to the bed. We opened the curtain but there was nothing outside to
indicate where or why or what this object was and how it came to be in the
room. We pulled the curtains back closed. We stopped the game and all stared
at this ball that was around 7 inches in diameter. It made a soft purring
sound and appeared to be independent in the way it moved. This ball was not
transparent, it glowed and was bright fluorescent orange, and it appeared to
be solid but had no feeling when it crossed our bodies. We watched as it spun
around the room and then flowed quickly across and over us. The ball then went
next door to the bathroom and circled the wall and sink, and then following
out along the short corridor it entered into the lounge with us following as
we were very inquisitive.
The orange ball circled around independently through the lounge, going under
and over the lounge seating and across the wall before circling around very
quickly in the room and exiting out along the corridor, following we went back
along the corridor and down to the bedroom where we had come from before the
object vanished in front of us. We looked under the bed and outside the window
and there was nothing that would indicate where or how this odd fluorescent
ball had arrived or appeared from in any way. It did make a soft purring sound
and it was not a lighting bolt or anything of this nature. We were puzzled and
quite bewildered by this strange happening. It was mobile and small and
independent and flew of its own accord. It was unlike anything we had seen
before.
Many years passed and I never forgot this unusual experience. I told my cousin
about the happening by email and was very surprised when in his amazed
reaction he said the same thing had happened in the same room around 4 years
later when my youngest brother - who was not born in the first happening. Both
my cousin and youngest brother had experienced this occurring in that room of
the house also so many years later.

Phillipi, Cape Town, South Africa A Massive Disk Shaped UFO
Date: 1976
Time: N/A.
Location of Sighting: Phillipi, Cape Town, South Africa.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Very large round disk.
Full Description of event/sighting: I was around 6 years old, alone in the
house with my nanny in her own quarters and my parents were out. There was a
large storm overhead and I was sitting at a glass door looking out and up at
the sky. I was scared because of the storm. The clouds were rolling overhead
and suddenly through the clouds appeared the front edge of a massive disk that
covered most of sky. It was silver grey in colour and all around the disk edge
were lights spaced evenly apart. My child's mind made it look like a long
string of light bulbs hanging in the cloud, and only later on in life did I
realize what it was that I saw.

One Mile West Of Clayton, New Mexico A Silver Cigar Shaped Vessel
Date: Summer, 1996
Time: Approx: 3:00 p.m. (Afternoon)
Location of Sighting: One mile west of Clayton, New Mexico.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Silver cigar shaped vessel.
Full Description of event/sighting: Hi there, HBCC Research, this sighting
happened in 1996. I am only now investigating the possibilities because a
friend of mine in California, after I told him my story, encouraged me to do
so. He feels I should at least explore it. I never have looked into it
because I'm quite sceptical of UFO sightings in regard to the sightings being
alien in nature. I don't know what I saw that day, but I was content to accept
it as experimental aircraft of some kind. That said, for what it's worth,
here's my story.
Mid-summer, 1996, a mile west the town of Clayton, New Mexico.
Back in 1996 I was living in New Mexico, in the northeast corner of the state
in a tiny cattle town called Clayton, the CO2 capital of the world, or so they
claim. We owned a Mom and Pop motel there, about a mile west of town. The
name of the motel was (and still is) The Holiday Motel
Anyway, the motel is pretty isolated, a mile from town.
I walked Thor every afternoon. It was 3:00 pm that day, a little windy, a
nice and warm summer's day and not a cloud in that long, cold blue sky. Thor
and I stopped walking and I sat my butt on the motel's wooden fence, facing
north but looking west, looking over my left shoulder into the soon-to-set
sun.
North of the motel there's a mountain called Rabbit Ear. It has an enormous
amount of recent human history imbedded in its soil, named after a Native
American Chief who fought the settler’s wagoning-by on the Santa Fe Trail. A
lot of Native Americans and early American settlers died on the mountain and
around it's wide base. It's also a holy site for some Native Americans and
shamans. For those reasons, and whatever other reasons there may be, it's a
powerful place. I've hiked all over it and always felt it's power, the
presence of it, its memory perhaps.
On the day I saw my UFO, I turned to look at Rabbit Ear Mountain. I saw this
silver cigar-shaped thing in the sky, floating over Rabbit Ear, floating over
the top of the mountain, one end pointing west, the other end pointing east.
It didn't magically appear. I originally looked west and then turned and
looked at Rabbit Ear, and that's when I first saw this thing.
It moved over the mountain, casting a shadow, moving slow, slow, slow. I
remember frowning when I first saw it because it was so close, so big, moving
so slow, and I didn't immediately recognize it. I mean, I knew it was an
aircraft right away. I didn't even question that, not initially: Aircraft.
I knew I saw technology. But when I look at a plane or a boat or a car I
immediately recognize the technology-why, that's a jet plane or a racing boat
or a sports car, you get what I mean, and that didn't happen when I first saw
this thing. And that continued not to happen. I thought, "Well, okay, that's
a blimp. Has to be." Because it looked like a blimp, right? A big blimp. A
cigar-shaped blimp. And then I wondered, "What the heck is a blimp doing out
here?" And then I started to give the thing a serious look-over because at
that point my curiosity was piqued, mostly because it didn't look like a blimp
at all. It looked like a silver cigar. It looked just like the UFOs I've
heard about, those silver cigar-shaped UFOs. I crossed my arms and went all
steely-eyed sceptical.
"No way. Nope. That's no UFO. That's a blimp. Has to be." I laughed,
maybe a little too much, too strongly.
You have to realize that the mountain and the UFO were not very far away.
Rabbit Ear Mountain is a few miles from the motel, right across the street to
the north. You could cross the highway, hop the fence, hop a couple more
fences, cross another distant road, walk to the base and hike to the top in an
afternoon, and you wouldn't be winded either because the slopes are so
gradual. You'd make it home before sunset. The mountain also rests in the
wheat-coloured grass of the high planes, so: no trees to block the view, just
mellow, easygoing high and empty planes. You can see cows stroll along the
rocky top from where I sat. Rabbit Ear Mountain isn't very big, but even so,
at the top it's at least 800 feet across from edge to edge, west to east.
I've walked it. About 800 feet, maybe a 1000, but that's pushing it, I think.
The thing is, the aircraft I saw floating over the top of Rabbit Ear
stretched the entire top-length of the mountain. That would make it nearly
1000 feet long. That's a whole mile. That would mean the aircraft was about
one mile in length and that couldn't be possible.
"Optical illusion," I told myself. And again I said, "Has to be." And then
the thing turned north/northeast, turned slowly, just like a blimp would, and
began to head away from me.
It had no markings. Not one. Not one that I could recognize, at any rate,
not one that I could see. Not a single number, letter, nothing. Just totally
silver. No propellers. No jet engines. No engines that I could see and/or
recognize. No engine noise either--silent as the grave. All I could hear was
my breathing, my thoughts, and the gentle breeze. It didn't have carriages
suspended underneath with a captain and crew like you see on blimps. No tail
fins. No windows. No nothing. I studied it for 45 minutes, going over it and
over it, trying to figure it out. It never took off like all the other UFOs
take off, shwoop! and they're gone in a second, in the blink of an eye. Nope.
It just meandered away like an old cowboy on an old horse until I couldn't
see it anymore. Just like a blimp would.
I've been told I witnessed an air bubble. Possible, I suppose, some kind of
natural phenomenon that I misinterpreted. But I've often asked myself that
had it been an air bubble or some kind of natural phenomenon, wouldn't I have
understood, wouldn't I have recognized on some basic level, that what I was
seeing was natural and not technology, not built, especially after studying it
and studying it intensely for 45 minutes? This thing looked built, like a
plane or a boat or a car looks built. I've seen air bubbles. I've seen big
silver air bubbles. And none of them look built, as I understand built to
look.

Elsternwick Brighton, Australia UFO Moved Quickly And Then Stopped
Date: About 2004-2005
Time: Approx: 10:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: In Elsternwick/Brighton, it came from east travelling to
west towards Melbourne City way.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: It looked round.
Full Description of event/sighting: It was a cold and clear night when I saw
what I thought may have been a plane or helicopter. It was moving kind of in
between fast and slow. I looked carefully and it happened to stop suddenly and
it had heaps of different colour lights on it. It stayed there in that spot
for about 30 seconds and the object quickly sped off at maybe 50 - 100kph
towards over the golf course. It flashed colours of white, blue, red and green
and it seemed to be in a spinning effect as it was flying. It then went over
to he trees like searching for something and stayed there for about 5 minutes
and then suddenly disappeared.

SW Of Calgary, Alberta Humming Noise Coming From UFO
Date: January 6, 2008
Time: Evening.
January 6, 2008, it was a Sunday evening, it was cold and I had my window
open. It was dark outside and my 3-year-old cat insisted I have the window
open, so he could sit on the ledge like always. I wasn't aware of what the
time was; I'm usually up late. It was probably 5 minutes into the window being
open that I heard a humming noise outside my window, I decided to ignore it
because I was to busy to bother with it. It got louder and the noise that I
heard was like that of a whirring, if you understand that. It was audible
enough for anyone to hear, so I went back to working on my computer, I was
thinking about the humming noise, wondered what it was, but forgot all about
it. So then it was dead quiet and my cat jumped down and onto my desk and sat
in front of my screen So I move my chair back from him and sat there watching
him, when he hissed at me.
My cat just sat there staring at nothing. I tried to call his attention, but
he never budged, so thinking this is weird I finally got up and I turned my
lights off and my monitor to my pc off and I stood right where my cat used to
be, our outdoor light should automatically come on, it didn't. I was really
scared, because most things like ghosts don't bother me, this did, it wasn't a
ghost, and this was something more stranger than that.
I closed the window really quick and walked out to the kitchen to get the
garbage then I went to my sliding door in one of our back rooms and I opened
it to put the garbage out and as I got out there, I saw a bright light in the
sky, it was in view of my backyard. I left my cats in and I just stood there
watching to see if it would move, well it moved all right, back and forth, and
then it stopped.
I'm thinking is this light trying to mock me for some reason. When I turned to
deal with my cats fighting, when I looked back it was gone. This light was
bigger than any star and its behaviour was different than any shooting star.
Even outside I'm sure after this all happened and the light left, I went to
the front of my house to look and see if there was anything I could attribute
it to (humming), there wasn't a thing I could see making that. Most things
don't scare me, because I'm into the paranormal and I investigate ghosts and
haunting.
I live in the SW part of Calgary, not even 5 minutes away from Heritage Park,
so people in Calgary can get an idea of where this happened and perhaps they
saw something too, January 6, 2008.
Now here is where it gets weird, a friend of mine who doesn't want to be
interviewed or even talk about it, said to me, so I guess you had an
interesting evening and I said, when did this occur? She said Sunday night and
she told me that I should of paid closer attention. I'm thinking ok, and
closer attention to what? They are aware of you, and that's all she said. I'm
thinking ok and who are they that are aware of me? She said, it's not my job
to explain this to you, she said in time it will be made known. Ok, I thought
whatever. People who have this ability to know more than we do, she shocked me
and said that I to have this gift yes I know I do, but it's a matter of how to
harness it and use it properly. So whomever or whatever this was, hasn't been
back since.

Surprise Arizona Eyewitness Films Unknown Lights (Pictures)
Date: March 10, 2008
Time: Evening.
Some will claim that these are flares but I have seen these many times in the
past. Some months ago I shined a green laser at four of these and they went
out and came back on in the form of a huge 'W'. The photos were taken Monday
March 10 2008, from Surprise AZ looking south southwest. I used a Canon Rebel
35 mm 100-300 mm zoom lens, exposure was five seconds.

Palm Springs, California Strange Moving UFO Behind The Mountain
Date: March 13, 2008
Time: Approx: 7:00 p.m.
Today I decided to search on Google to see if anyone else saw what I saw on
March 13th.
I live in Palm Springs, CA. I was at home with a hand full of friends at
around 7:00pm when I saw a bright big light behind our mountain. This light
was moving at strange angles but it had a constant speed. It would move south
for about 10 seconds and then take a 70* degree angle towards the east and
then back west at a 110* angle and so on. It would keep doing this until it
got so small it disappeared. It must have been departing our planet at a
constant rate. I agree with everything that the guy from the Oshawa/Whitby,
Ontario report stated. But when I first saw it, it was much bigger and was
hovering over the San Jacinto Mountain I live next to.

Cottage Grove, Oregon On I-5 Southbound A Pulsating Object
Date: March 14, 2008
Time: 9:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Cottage Grove, Oregon on I-5 southbound.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Round.
Full Description of event/sighting: I saw one or two flashing lights
(pulsating possibly) to my left fairly low in the sky east of the freeway. It
appeared to be two round, very bright objects possibly connected. It looked
very much like the Sonora sighting video taped that I saw on Whitley
Streiber's Unknown Country.
I wasn't sure if it was some kind of plane. There is an airfield nearby I
believe. But, it didn't look like a plane and the airfield does not land large
aircraft.
I thought I would Google UFO sightings near Cottage Grove and was amazed to
see one just a week previously.
My mind wants to say that it must have been a plane, especially because I have
been very interested in this topic.
The freeway was very busy, just like the other reporter stated. In fact it
seems like it was exactly the same kind of sighting. I kept looking at it and
wondering why people weren't pulling over. It was raining fairly hard, but
there were breaks in the clouds in the direction I saw this object. I also saw
very much higher in the sky something that looked like a star. I can't say for
sure, but it seemed like this star might have been connected in some way to
this pulsating object. It just seemed strange that the break in the clouds
revealed the object and a 'star' much higher in the sky. It could have just
been proximity that makes me thinks they were connected and that it was just a
star.
I observed the object for about 10 seconds I believe, but do not remember if
it disappeared or if I just drove far enough and couldn't see it any longer;
so many things were going through my mind.

Clearwater, Florida A Long Bright Orange Red UFO
Date: March 15, 2008
Time: 2:35 a.m.
Full Description of event/sighting: Arriving home from a movie, my sister and
her friend noticed a hanging green light that seemed to smoothly move back and
forth and up and down. They called out my father and he called me out, and my
mother followed. At that time the light was pretty big and we tried to
convince each other it was a satellite, one of us recommended a meteor.
There was an obvious static sound being ejected from it. The light wasn't
pulsating but the entire object seemed to be lit, one side brighter than the
other, being at times a soft light but perhaps turning a very bright light. We
watched it for about 20 minutes; it was entrancing because we couldn't predict
its path and couldn't identify what it was. My sister and her friend took
pictures and videos from their phones but didn't come up with too much.
However, the static sound is more present in the videos than it was last
night.
I went inside after about 20 minutes and the girls called me back out about 5
minutes later. By now it was most certainly on a path further away and was
moving more rapidly than I thought anything could move in the sky. It was
flying away over the tops of the houses into the distance, but when we left we
all felt like we had an encounter. It wasn't scary but on the contrary pretty
peaceful. The static sound left with the light. While I was inside the girls
said it moved rapidly from it's place further down on the horizon (maybe
further away) and started bouncing in the sky.
I have never claimed to see anything like this, and even my parents, who are
conservatives on the matter and would never admit to anything of the sort--
could not offer any other explanation and were also entranced by the light. I
was not an extreme believer because I've never had any reason to be, but after
last night I am without a doubt a believer.

East Into Oshawa, Ontario Lights In A Diamond Shape Formation
Date: March 16, 2008
Time: 8:00 p.m.
The witness is anonymous to me.
I was driving East into Oshawa on the 401 travelling around 100 km/hr, the
street lights were on giving off that pinkish sort of glow looking up through
the front windshield to the north side of the highway there was what appeared
to be a diamond shape formation. I looked closer at the lights to see if it
was a reflection on the windshield and the lights moved from the left side of
the road travelling towards the lake (Ontario) as they lined up with the
middle of the road and myself and my passenger focused on them. They faded
like lights on a dimmer switch as they travelled south. A jet passed from
behind and I assume it had just taken off from Pearson and it appeared to be
quite a distance higher than this group of lights.
I looked around for any cause of what might have been a reflection, but there
was nothing in the area giving off white light besides on coming headlights. I
wasn't going to say anything except my passenger burst out and said did you
see that? What it appeared to be were several white lights like industrial
mercury lights in a tight formation perfectly symmetrical. I believe 5 lights
from one end to the other. The lights had the dull white size and shape of
like gymnasium lights. This is the best I can describe it. They travelled
maybe visible for less than a km. I'm not sure what height they were at, but
way lower than the several jets that flew over. When the lights disappeared
they were visible for approx 30 seconds and they faded out into what looked
like lights in the fog, above us but there was no clouds and you could see the
stars and jets very clearly. The lights held their formation as if they were
one object. If it had just been me to see it, I would believe I might have
imagined it. But it was my buddy who brought it up.

Vernon, British Columbia Three Unknown Objects
Date: March 21, 2008
Time: Between 8:00 and 9:00 p.m.
Three objects
Friday night just as the full moon was rising one witness, me.
On Friday night I was out waiting for the full moon to come up when I noticed
a very bright light, star like, just over the moon not quite over the horizon.
I was looking east toward Lumby. The object was very low and slowly dropping
down. The evening sky was still a bit light. Within the next half hour as the
sky was getting darker and the moon was over the horizon, I saw to my left or
north of my place another object slowly dropping down and heading toward the
hill north of Silver Star.
As I was watching that, another object was drifting down, closer to my place
and north. These objects are different than I have reported before, the full
light orbs. These objects have a central yellow light, and a white light
around. They look like a full light ball or orb, but the difference is the
bright yellow centre.
These objects were very slow in their descent as if not to attract too much
attention.

Rochester, New York Orange Lights Outline A Triangular UFO
Date: March 23, 2008
Time: Approx: 2:30 a.m.
I'm kind of hesitant about sending this email, but I need to connect with
someone about what I think I just saw. It's 3:00am here in Rochester New York.
About 20-30 minutes ago I stepped outside for a cigarette. It's a clear night
so I looked up to gaze at the stars. After a minute of gazing, I saw an object
that at first I thought was an airplane. But then I noticed it had no flashing
lights and made no sound. I could not see the form of the object itself, but I
did see three, somewhat dim, solid orange lights that if connected by a line
would make a triangle. It flew smoothly across the sky to the northeast and
disappeared into the night after 4-5 seconds. I stood outside a few minutes
longer trying to listen for the sound of a jet engine so I could rationalize
what I just saw. But there was no engine noise.
I came inside my house, locked the doors and turned on nearly every light
because all I can think about now are the alien abduction movies I've seen in
the past along with random Discovery Channel UFO documentaries. Needless to
say, I'm a little freaked out. I went online and searched for "UFO over
Rochester" to see if anyone else has had a similar experience. I found a story
from Canada in one of the links I clicked has the same description of what I
saw, but get this, it's almost 1 year later exactly! Here is the link to the
article. The story I'm referring to is headlined, "Newmarket, Ontario An
Elongated Triangular Craft With Lights.
