*** I have got some good sightings in this news bulletin that really make you
think.
I wonder how many are man made! I think there are far too many sightings for
them all to be "Secret experimental projects".
I would like you to write in and give your opinions. Our UFO Interest Group
needs to be more inter-active.
Ok I know that you do not want to be recognised as a UFO follower, but you are
if you read these news bulls on a regular basis.
Please join in and give us your inner thoughts. I will not give out your

Oceanside Beach, Oceanside California Oval Shaped UFO
Date: September 21, 1997
Time: Approx: 4:45 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Oceanside Beach, Oceanside California USA.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Oval.
Full Description of event/sighting: I was walking on the beach in Oceanside,
California, Sunday, September 21 1997. It was around 4:45 pm. We were on
vacation visiting my parents. My four year old son was with me. We were at
the water's edge. The sun was starting to get closer to the horizon. I
happened to look back towards the cliff area. I saw this oval object that was
over the beach level row of A-frame cottages yet it was below the cliff line
and other houses behind it.
If you do a Google Earth search for the area where the flying object sat, it
would be latitude: 33°11\'53.93\"N and longitude:117°23\'14.72\"W. Where I was
standing on the water's edge was latitude: 33°11\'55.62\"N and
longitude:117°23\'20.90\"W.
What attracted me to the object was a glimmer of light as if reflecting the
sun's light into a mirror and then moving the mirror so that it would pulse.
We walked closer to the object walking away from the water's edge. I could see
the colour of the light, which to make a basic description, looked like gold
spray paint sprayed onto water and then sloshed so that the gold paint would
circle around inside the oval shape. Gold spray paint has dark components in
it especially if it is sprayed too thick. Imagine an oval tank filled with
water, with underwater bright white lights inside the tank submerged and the
thick gold "paint" material swirling around on top of the water as it won't
mix with the water. There would be times when the "paint" was not too thick
which allowed the light behind it to shine through making it brighter and
darker as the "paint" material swirled around. The "tank" is on its side in
this instance like a large picture frame. There was no pattern to the movement
of the material inside the oval.
Random swirls as if stirred with a spoon and then reversed at will. The object
was the size of a large van. It was a windy day, there were seagulls flying a
few yards from the object at palm tree level, and they were having a hard time
negotiating the wind. The object was dead still. I at first thought it was a
gag blimp or some type of kite. I looked for wires, there were none. Nothing
short of billboard scaffolding could have suspended that large object over the
cottage roofing to keep it from moving in the wind. There was no scaffolding.
Nothing extended from the A-frame cottages and nothing connected to the houses
on the cliff above the object. Still not wanting to believe this object was
hanging there by it'self, motionless, I moved closer. It was the same thing.
No wires, no poles no metal trusses, not even an electric wire to supply power
for the light effects. The object was facing the sun which was setting in a
northwest position over the horizon. I moved closer to the object and noticed
that behind the oval that was displaying the liquid light show, there was a
turbine. Yes a turbine that spun counter clockwise. Looked like what you would
see on a jet liner. There were light blue and pink lights coming out of the
turbine as it spun. No specific light receptacles, just shafts of pastel
lights coming out of the area of the spinning vanes.
But there was no noise at all. I could not understand how light could be
coming out of the turbine as there were no bulbs, reflectors, etc. It was
mystical to say the least. There were other people at the beach picnic tables
across the cottages, gathered around, and I looked at them to see if they had
noticed the object. They never glanced at it. Made me think, is this a gag,
and everybody else has already seen it and grown tired of it? A young boy
crossed in front of my son and me as we stood across the row of cottages and I
looked at him to see if he was viewing what we saw trying to get him to look
up at the object. He looked at me and wondered why I was looking at him. He
never looked up at the object. My son and I looked at the object for a good 30
minutes, the sun was still brightly shining. I had to leave to get the car
home in time for my parents to go to 5 p.m. religious services. I was late.
The car was parked on the street at the cliff line south of the cottages,
quite a ways away from the Oceanside amphitheater. I kept looking back at the
object and it was still there in the same position. I reluctantly got into the
car and drove home. I usually have a video camera with me. I'm a recording
artist with music videos on MTV Asia. That day my brother had taken the video
camera with him. Of all the times to be without a camera. I can still remember
the object. I did not see any windows, any beings looking out, any doors,
wings, tires. Above all no motion and no noise whatsoever, high pitched or low
rumblings. No smell of fuel, aviation or otherwise, no fumes, no exhaust heat
mirages, no heat.
The gulls were the loudest thing at the scene. The turbine was moulded onto
the rear of the oval light frame or "tank." If I had not stepped to one side
I would not have noticed the turbine. It had dimension. It was a solid object.
Whatever it was seemed to only be seen by myself and my son. This object was
at rooftop of the cottages, which are still there on the beach access road at
Oceanside beach, and can be seen on Google Earth. It was not a misty hazy
apparition. It was well defined, unmistakably within arm's reach and in more
than enough broad daylight to tell it was hanging there. It was definitely a
flying machine. Sort of a darkish metallic colour. I have no idea where it
came from. I did not see it leave as I left before it did and I did not see it
appear or arrive. I went back the next day and it was gone. I wish I had
stayed till the object disappeared. I wish I had video footage of it. I wonder
why it showed itself to me and not to the others on the beach? As close as I
was to this object, it would have made for some very convincing video.
I never saw anything like this before and have not seen it again since. It was
an unusual shape and it looked like the only purpose to this object was to fly
that oval liquid light frame around. I got a sense that it was charging
itself off the sun's rays. From the water's edge as I first noticed it, it
looked like a giant mirror reflecting the sun's light as would be used for
Morse Code. But this "mirror" was huge as it dwarfed the A frame cottage below
it. It would be nice if someone else reported seeing this same object.
Now that I think about it, this object could have flown with the turbine on
the bottom or on the top, meaning the oval "mirror" could be positioned at 12
o'clock, 3 o'clock or 6 o'clock other than in the 9 o'clock position I saw.
I have been interested in UFO's since I was a young kid. I have seen other
objects before but the moving sky objects I saw last before this flying
"mirror" were two star sized objects in the night sky over Santa Barbara,
California around 1976 that happened to switch positions as I and a friend of
mine happened to look up at the same spot in the sky. We both saw the two dots
of light switch their positions and then remained still but as I said they
looked as tiny as the stars. Why we happened to look up at the same spot in
the sky at the exact same time was a mystery to us both. Obviously to me they
moved, from a standstill position, and then just changed places with each
other in the same portion of the night sky each object had previously
occupied, only to hang motionless again.
The floating "mirror" I previously described was too close and detailed to
second guess one's self as the visualization lasted too long, and in broad
daylight. It was crystal clear and beyond a doubt, hovering at a standstill
over those A frame cottages.

Saint Eustache, Quebec Bright Light (Photos)
Date: Continuing in early 2008
Time: 3:30 a.m.
Hello, I live in Saint Eustache, Quebec and I wanted to try and get some
explanations as to what I have seen in the past couple of months. My apartment
is facing the river of Mille Isles and what I have been seeing (4 times in the
past 5 months) is a very bright light in the sky which is stationary. It is
very bright and looks like a straight line of several lights in the sky,
almost like several lights side-by-side and very twinkling. Last night I saw
it again and thought I would take a picture of it and although I only had a
digital picture I thought maybe it would show something interesting. In the
past I took several pictures of the moon reflecting on the river and all that
came out was several pictures all identical of a white circle on a black
background so I expected probably the same thing.
However I was surprised to see what I saw. I took 5 pictures and all were very
different which led me to believe it was moving or else each pic would have
been identical like my moon shots. This was at 3:30 am and I know there are no
planes at this hour and also this light stayed in the same place for 2 hours!
It was easy for me to keep track of it because my living room has patio doors
which allows me a perfect view from my chair.
The pictures show weird lines connecting to what seems like round dots which I
presume could be the lights

Maryborough, Australia An Organic Looking Plasma Ball
Date: April 3, 2008
Time: 1:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Maryborough.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 7
Shape of objects: White plasma/metallic.
Full Description of event/sighting: I was sitting on my back deck when I
noticed a strange movement in the sky. I grabbed my binoculars and for 20
minutes watched an organic looking plasma ball of light morphing into
different forms then turning into a metallic plate and wobbling. It continued
this process over and over again as it travelled north. Every 3 minutes or so
a metallic ball or probe would fly past the main craft at great speed. The
main craft also at one point spat out a white light that kind of fizzled out
as it dropped to the ground. That night 6 amber lights travelled around the
sky's between 6pm and 9pm. Stop start movements. (I got photos of the plasma
craft).

Border Of Utah/Nevada Eyewitness Films UFOs (Pictures)
Date: April 8, 2008
Time: 3:15 p.m.
"This happened on 4.8.08 at 3:15pm. I heard a jet going over my home and
ran outside with the camera to see what it was. It wasn't a jet...as it was a
perfectly round ball of metal with a mechanical leg on each side. The leg
came up vertically from the centre of the 'ball' and then down, like an upside
down V. It was going slow towards the south. As I was trying to view this on
my camera screen, I kept seeing the orange spheres flashing back and forth, in
different directions, as though it was trying to flee perhaps the military
jet, as they often do. I then saw the 2 orange spheres come side by side and
the 'jetball' sitting still in front of these orange spheres. That's when I
snapped the picture. It happened so fast that I was unable to get any further
pictures. I heard a very loud super sonic sound, then saw the 2 black trails
of smoke. All 3 objects then disappeared...and the smoke dissipated quickly.
The orange spheres appeared as lights or orbs...they did not seem to be a
solid object. I did not hear the 'jetball' take off or go in any direction.
It was just gone." If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask. I have a
heavy plate right now...but as yourself...I'm for the truth

Bowser, British Columbia Multiple Lights/UFOs
Date: April 15, 2008
Time: 1:00 a.m. - 2:45 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Off the east coast of Vancouver Island in the direction
of Texada Island and the Mainland.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: Multiple but no more than 3 at a time.
Shape of objects: The lights changed shape.
Full Description of event/sighting: I live in Bowser, B.C. on the east coast
of Vancouver Island on the ocean situated just below the tip of Denman Island
with a view of the tip of Hornby Island and Texada Island with the mountains
directly across the way in the distance on the mainland.
On April 15, 2008 around 1:00 a.m. I was out on the deck looking out at the
night sky when I notice some unusual lights across the ocean above the
landscape in the distance in the direction of Texada Island and the Mainland.
I have watched these skies for the past 7 years since moving here and have
never seen anything like what I saw. I had been out earlier that night sitting
in the hot tub around 10:30 p.m. and noticed nothing unusual.
At the time I spotted the lights they appeared as two separate object in the
sky with flashing lights that would change from amber to white and red and
then back to amber at different times and very rapidly. Sometimes one would
flash first and then the other. I grabbed the binoculars and watched as the
unusual activity unfolded for about an hour and forty five minutes until I
finally forced myself to go to bed at about 2:45 a.m.
It became apparent to me that there was one object that remained mostly amber
that just hovered and stayed in one spot. This particular amber light would
appear to change shape from a sphere to a V to a horizontal elongated shape
throughout the time I watched when engaging with the other lights that I
describe below. The colour would also change in intensity from bright to
dimmer and sometimes a red light would appear in different positions. While
this light remained fixated, there were other lights that would appear one at
a time although at one point there were two at once . These other lights first
appeared as a small white dot in the night sky flying erratically toward the
amber object and as they did so they would flash and flicker bright white with
red lights in a big burst for a few seconds as they flew around and then turn
to amber as they approached the fixated object. These other lights flew to the
amber light but never past it. Instead they hovered right next to it so that
there were two amber lights side by side and then they would appear to merge
and this is when the "fixated" amber light would change colours and shapes.
On one occasion there were two white dots appearing at the same time and they
both transformed into these array of lights hovering side by side and turning
amber as they both moved towards the "fixated" amber light. What I observed
was that the size of the objects would change as the lights flickered starting
from small white dots to larger objects as the many lights flashed as these
objects moved. At times these objects would suddenly disappear and then
reappear. When the objects appeared there was quite a lot of activity to watch
as they moved towards the fixated amber light and merge with it after which
there would a short wait until more lights. The objects that appeared which
flew towards the fixated amber light always came from the right side of the
amber light.
Although it was cloudy in parts of the sky I could distinctly see the shadow
of the landscape in the distance and could tell that these lights were coming
from the sky and not the ground. Secondly, I have watched many a plane fly
through the night sky and activity of these lights were not anything like what
you see flashing on planes. Secondly, the movement was distinct from the way
planes fly and helicopters move. Thirdly, there are no airports in the
direction of the lights and if this was the explanation I would have seen this
activity long before and on a regular basis. Finally, I am familiar with the
Navy Military exercises conducted on the ocean in front of our home from time
to time and in no way were these lights flares.
Finally, in wanting confirmation as to what I saw I went onto some UFO sights
where I watched actual footage of lights in the sky and I was stunned at the
resemblance of not only the flashing/flickering changing of the lights that
looked much like what I had seen, I also saw the little white lights that
would appear as tiny dots and transform themselves into a flashing array of
lights and, behaving similarly to what I saw as they accompanied other lights
in the sky.
I woke my husband up and he saw the lights but he was more interested in
sleeping and didn't stay up long enough to really study them as I had.

Burnaby, British Columbia A Stubby Cone Shaped UFO
Date: April 15, 2008
Time: Approx: 2:10 p.m.
Again I saw something weird today. At approx: 2:10pm I was sitting at my
desk working. My window faces southwest. My window is 75% covered by office
furniture but I have this cherished sliver of a view! At the time it was sunny
and I noticed this object moving eastbound around say 600 ft. I thought it was
a bird at first but as it got closer it began to reflect sunlight. I couldn't
tell the overall shape of it but by the way the Sun was reflecting off of it,
I got the sense that it was a stubby cone-shape. The strange thing was that it
was moving with the nose of the cone pointing up! It is a bit breezy today (I
live and work in Burnaby) and I believe that the wind is blowing in a
southwest direction. The object was moving against the wind. Extrapolating its
speed and direction, I ran out to the back of my building as fast as I could
and when I arrived at the back there was nothing. I should have seen this
object if it was a balloon.
If you recall I also reported a strange, sun-reflecting object when I was at
my desk last month I believe. I work in an area beside Hwy. 1. Since then I
have seen and heard helicopters almost everyday flying around Burnaby (mostly
traffic choppers) and they are all easily identifiable and heard. The thing I
saw was quiet and fast moving.

Lake Bluff, Illinois A Round White Orb
Date: April 15, 2008
Time: 11:30 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Along the shore of Lake Bluff.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: an Orb along side a Chemtrail.
Full Description of event/sighting:
I have written twice over the passed couple months about the absurd amount of
chemtrails we are seeing close to the Wisconsin/Illinois border. At least 3
times a week I am seeing things that don't make any sense. Today on my way to
work I was heading due east towards Lake Michigan (literally only a couple
blocks away from the shore) and I saw a large (length and width) chemtrail,
that appeared to be going perpendicular to the ground. This I have yet to see
much of. As it became more obvious through the trees, I noticed a white
looking, round object just to the left of the chemtrail. The plane was still
finishing the trail in a downward fashion while the Orb moved upwards along
the trail keeping a very slight, even distance away from it. The orb was
moving faster directly up in the sky than the plane was going down directly
towards the ground. At this point, the road started to bend and I was forced
to turn or run into traffic. I lost sight of the object and the trail behind
some trees and that was it!
This object had no wings, no points, nothing to identify it as something we
have been told exists. It was large too. In the sky the plane looked smaller
than the orb but that could have been an illusion due to the height an angle.
This was in broad daylight and there were at least 4 more planes in the sky
making trails elsewhere that I noticed on the rest of my way to work. None of
which had any orbs along side them.
I'm scared to think what I would see/find if I had the time to sky watch on a
regular basis. Something is going on in our skies, whether its aliens, humans
from the future, secret military vehicles, take your pick or choose your own
explanation. But, at this point, not believing that something is happening is
choosing to be ignorant!

Altoona, Iowa A Large Slow Moving Unknown Craft
Date: April 15, 2008
Time: 9:05 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Right outside of bathroom window.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: A huge unknown object, couldn't determine shape.
Full Description of event/sighting: I saw a very unusual craft tonight. I was
up in my upstairs bathroom and I happened to glance out the window, and that's
when I noticed a strange object coming in from the eastern sky. It was going
slow and that seemed odd to me, so I kept watching. As it drew nearer I could
tell that this object was bigger then a plane. This thing was a beast of a
craft and was flying at about six hundred feet. This thing had red and blue
flashing lights and had dim white lights that went around it, but I couldn't
determine a shape, it could be circular shaped. Also as this object went
further towards the western sky a jet followed right behind it! Now that's
when I lost sight of the object because it flew behind some trees, and the jet
flew right in the same direction that this object did. That struck me as being
very odd someone was investigating this thing.

Knoxville, Pennsylvania Lights Pulsating Around Object
Date: April 15, 2008
Time: 10:15 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Above the hill behind our house.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Circular.
Full Description of event/sighting: I was getting ready to go to bed and as I
was locking our back door when I saw this bright light in the sky, which at
first I thought might have been the North star. But having seen the North star
many times, I took a better look. We have a few big hills behind our house and
this "object" was just hovering over one of them, but it was not close enough
where I could see specific things. All that I could see was the red, green and
white lights pulsating around the object at a great rate of speed. So then I
thought maybe this was a tower on the hill or something, so I awoke my husband
to come take a look. He couldn't explain what it was, but that he was sure
there wasn't a tower up there.
And the whole time I was watching this (approx: 20 minutes) the object never
moved, which made me believe it wasn't a plane or helicopter. At one point of
watching it, a low flying plane flew over our house headed toward the objects
direction. I hadn't thought anything about it, but about 5 minutes after I
heard the plane, the object very, very slowly lowered down over the mountain
where I couldn't see it anymore. I've never seen anything like this before and
I didn't believe in UFOs, but I just can't explain this! Someone had told me
they had seen this same thing a couple months back and thought it to be a
satellite, but I'm just not sure.

Glace Bay, Nova Scotia Two Extremely Fast Moving Red Objects
Date: April 16, 2008
Time: 9:15 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Back patio deck.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Spheres.
Full Description of event/sighting: I should first mention that their is still
a fairly regular amount of strange objects in our area, a friend of mine told
me that he had also recently seen a bright ball of light travelling fairly
fast and changing direction, in which he watched until it disappeared out over
the ocean. I had mentioned to you in a previous report that I was going too
purchase a digital camera, well I have purchased a HP Photosmart digital
camera, but unfortunately these two objects last night were travelling so fast
and what seemed to be quite high up about a quarter inch in diameter at arms
length, that I was unsuccessful at capturing them on the two pictures that I
had taken. Anyway I first seen them coming towards me from a westerly
direction they both looked to be bright red in colour and were travelling
incredibly fast side by side then crossing over each other then one dropped
down a bit while the other flew over that one. Then the one that dropped
climbed again while the other one dropped down, it was like watching a very
high speed game of which object could out manoeuvre the other. The whole
incident didn't last long before they were out of my visual range. But anyway
I thought it was totally amazing and thought you might want to here about it.
Thanks.

North Of Kokomo, Indiana Loud Sound - A Row Of Almond Shaped Lights
Date: April 16, 2008
Time: 10:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: North of Kokomo.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects:
Shape of objects: Cigar shaped.
Full Description of event/sighting: My husband and I were just hanging out
when we hear a loud boom that shook the entire neighbourhood, so we went
outside. There all of our neighbours joined us who also felt it. Then I seen
a row of almond shaped lights to the north standing on my front porch looking
out between the houses in front of mine. The lights seemed to rotate in a
circle like the object was spinning and there were about 8 to 10 lights in a
row. I yelled for my husband. All the neighbours scrambled to look but it
disappeared (my husband says behind a cloud but I didn't see any clouds).
Rescue workers went on a search to follow a trail of what looked like embers
or smoke in the sky but as of this morning in the Kokomo Tribune turned up
nothing.
