(Editor Peter ZS2ABF: I have now put out 161 UFO news bulls listing and
describing Possible UFO sightings. I have acquired a reasonable following of
Hams interested in this fascinating subject and I have had the personal
experience of a sighting of my own. Having said that, as I am trying to be an
open minded Ufologist and we don't really know the answer, I understand and
remind you all that there are many Natural Atmospheric Phenomena on this earth
that can account for many of these sightings, especially when most people
reporting them have little knowledge of the atmosphere.
For instance, it is not known that the planet Venus, when viewed under certain
atmospheric conditions will appear as a glowing orb that moves in the most
extraordinary patterns. Nor is it known that comets, meteors, clouds,
plasmoids, corona discharges, parhelia and paraselenae, the sun and moon and
stars, even lightening and birds, can all look like bright solid objects
moving at high speed.
You may say what about the daylight sightings, Mock suns, or sundogs are
caused by the sun's light, which can reflect an eerie image of the sun onto
shifting clouds. It can take on strange shapes and colours, giving the
illusion that it is in flight or just hovering. A mock moon, or moon dog
(paraselenae)
has a similar effect at night.
Other UFO sightings at night are caused when the light of the moon shines on
ice particles contained in drifting clouds, making the particles seem like
shining, round-shaped objects in flight, in the phenomenon known as 'parelia'.
Another one is 'atokinesis' in which a given star will appear to be moving in
the dark sky, sometimes darting about erratically just like a glowing flying
saucer. Lenticular clouds also form in circular, dome-shaped layers, appearing
in single or groups. Temperature inversions cause various layers of clouds at
different temperatures to bend and twist and distort light, and on and on and
on.
I won't bore you with all of the natural effects that occur in our atmosphere.
Just remember that people tend to jump to a conclusion before determining the
real reasons.
I am still waiting the day when humanoids walk forth and say "Take me to your
leader".
Your comments on the above will be gratefully accepted.)
More sightings from around the world from my added sources.

London, Ontario Huge Long Triangular UFO
Date: Late October 1977
Time: 8:00 or 9:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Extremely large and shaped like a long triangle
Weather Conditions: Clear and cold.
Cassandra and I (11yrs old at the time) were walking up the middle of the
road heading to my driveway when all of a sudden directly over our heads was a
large black mass. It was extremely large. The object was just above the roof
tops of the condos which are only 2 story structures. I would compare it to
the size of 747 Aircraft. The object was completely silent. We didn't hear a
single noise from it before or after it passed over us.
Needless to say, Cassandra and I freaked out and went screaming to my mom
inside. We both told her exactly what we saw, probably both at the same time
because we were hysterical. I remember thinking at the time that the best way
to describe it would be as a prehistoric bird. I know for sure that at that
time in my life I didn't know anything about UFO's. I remember Cassandra and I
being uncontrollable scared and my dad had to have her mom come over. We both
saw the object but I lost contact with their family after we moved. I have
often thought about that thing and have never spoken about it because I
thought people would think I was crazy. I am sure Cassandra never forgot it
either, even though she was approximately 9 or 10 at the time.
I can recall the night like it was yesterday and have never forgotten that
night. If my imagination played a trick on me then Cassandra's mind saw the
same thing at the same moment I did. I often have wondered if anyone else ever
saw anything that night either. I can't imagine that we were the only 2 to see
an object that large flying over our heads.

San Jose, California Large UFO 300 To 400 Feet Across
Date: May/June 1980
Time: Approx: 4:00 p.m.
Number 0f witnesses: Several
Number of objects: 1
Weather conditions: Slightly overcast with good visibility.
This is a report of a UFO I had witness in the 1980 sometime either in May or
June. The time it occurred was around 4:00 pm in the afternoon and the sun was
still out. I was across the street from my friends house at Simonds elementary
school in San Jose, Calif, playing football with two of his younger
brothers. It was a slightly over cast day, still very good visibility wise.
About 20 minutes after we got there we noticed a bunch of people at the school
pointing up towards the sky. Overhead we noticed a very large object, possible
300 to 400 feet across, there was never any noise from whatever this was. This
object had no lights that we noticed, was overall dark silver or black in
appearance. After observing it for about a minute I sent one of my friends
younger brother across the street to get a camera at his house.
At about this time something looking to me like a probe dropped down from
below it. It must have come down at least 75 feet or so. For the next few
minute it just sat there, then slowing rose what appeared to be around 500
feet or so, and then just disappeared into thin air. By the time my friends
younger brother got back, it was gone, it didn't matter, the camera he brought
was out of film.

St. Johns, Newfoundland A Bright Ball Of Fire 500 Feet Above Us
Date: 1981
Time: 6:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round object.
Weather Conditions: Clear nighttime.
Description: A friend and I were stealing crabapples from a catholic priests
house on top off a hill that could oversee the city of St. Johns, Newfoundland
Canada. It was late evening around 6.00 pm, we were about to leave when this
bright round ball of fire about 500 feet above us . At 500 feet it was the
size of a 14x14ft circle pool or seemed to have a ring of fire around it . It
was suspended over us for at lease 15 minutes we both were in shock and stood
there. It took off in the night skies quicker than anything I have ever seen
still and I have been to many USA airforce shows and seen many super jets
takeoff none can match the takeoff that night nobody would believe us we were
just some kids that made up a story. No story, I am still bothered I was 12
years old and now 39 still living in the USA.

Pilots Watch A Deep Orange Glow Rising From The Lake (UFO)
Date: Late Summer of 1989
I am 42 years old now. Ever since I was a young child, before I knew
anything about this, I had dreams of what I thought were skeletons coming
through my basement and meeting me. Now I have a older brother (9 or 10 yrs
older) and had an experience as a child. He was 15 or 16 and he asked me to
spend the night in his new room in the basement. All I can remember is how
apprehensive I was and only lasted a couple of hours. The feeling of the
"skeleton" creatures coming for me were very much real. Fast forward now a
few years, and well the vivid dreams I had were not skeletons but, well small
entities with big dark eyes or areas were eyes should be. Now to put all this
into perspective, My educational background is that of a law enforcement. I
have a solid education in investigation techniques, evidence collection and
interviewing.
My other area is aviation. I currently have over 2000 hours as pilot in
command with extra courses in meteorology. I know what the difference is
between anomalous lights and standard aircraft placement.
Now for my latest recollection, It was in the late summer of 1989, I was pilot
in command of a Piper Navajo. We departed for a parts run from Hamilton to
Val Dor Quebec. We were chartered by Domtar for some paper mill parts. It
was not that late as I remember landing and grabbing a coffee before we
departed back for Hamilton. We were cruising at 13 K feet back to Hamilton
and were just approaching Lake Simcoe when my co-pilot said" have a look down
below" What we both saw was a deep orange glow rising from the lake, getting
more distinct and disk shaped as it was rising. With in a few seconds, it was
at our level, again 13K feet, and it shot straight up.
Now on the radio, Toronto Centre, there was chatter about this object shooting
straight up from an Air Ontario Dehavilland inbound from Ottawa.
It was as clear and prominent . I called into YYZ centre and was told if I
want to make a report to do so, if not, they were sure some one else would.
Unfortunately, I did not file the Transport Canada paper work and I regret
that to this day.

Blackley Manchester, U.K. Two Large Green UFOs
Date: May 1, 2008
Time: 10:05 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Orbs.
Weather Conditions: Mild, dry, no wind.
Description: Two large green orbs north west very low on the horizon at a 45
degree angle silent and stationary, orbs faded out after 30 seconds or more
then a brilliant white liquid light spilled out and down to the ground, ball
shaped with a tail behind it.The area it would have landed in is around Heaton
Park and Rhodes.

Laval, Quebec A Triangular Shaped UFO
Date: May 10 or 11, 2008
Time: 12:00 a.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Triangle.
Weather Conditions: Night + Clear Skies.
Description: I was talking on the phone and went outside to have a smoke. I
looked up at the sky and saw a triangle shape object with 3 lights(white) on
each point of the triangle. I thought it was a jet or a plane at first but
then it covered so much space in so little time. Something that would not be
possible for a jet or plane. I would say that if I were to put my thumb in the
air pointing in that direction the object covered a 6 foot distance (in
comparison to my thumb) in less than half a second. It must have been about
30,000 feet high or so. Many planes pass over my house and this was definitely
not a plane. The area I saw it in was in the postal code h7w5h1 area and it
was heading North/West away from Laval.

Spartanburg, South Carolina Triangular UFO
Date: May 13, 2008
Time: 11:30 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Triangular.
Weather Conditions: Mostly clear.
Description: Last night, May 13, 2008, at around 11:30 pm EST, I was traveling
home on US 29 AKA East Main St. Spartanburg S.C. with two of my employees. I
own a commercial cleaning business this is my usual routine route every night.
I saw an object which at first glance I thought this was a low flying plane
but the object was moving at a very low rate of speed. With my head hanging
out of my window now I gazed at the object for over a couple of minutes as I
proceeded slowly down the road.
The object was triangular and resembled a Stealth Fighter. My employee riding
in the front seat saw the same thing I did. The employee in the back seat had
limited view of the object. The object was traveling adjacent to my truck at a
crawl speed and then to a hover. It appeared dark-toned and had lights at each
tip of its triangular shape. I was near 1604 East Main when I turned in the
parking lot of the bank to further look at the object.
When I entered the parking area the object ascended slowly to a higher
altitude and slow

Tipton County, Indiana Ball Of Light (Photos)
Date: May 16, 2008
Time: 9:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Tipton County, IN.
Number of witnesses: 5
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Ball of light.
Full Description of event/sighting: I'm from Dayton, Ohio. I came to Kokomo,
Indiana to attend my daughters graduation on May 15. The following night, May
16th we decided to go out and try to find a UFO. We saw one last time we
visited on April 17, 2008 over the Kokomo mall. We were headed south on Dixon
road at the corner of US 26. As I sat at the stop sign deciding where I could
park, off in the distance I saw what looked very familiar to me. Ahead of me,
looking south I saw a bright circular object that looked unusual. I had to
work myself around the road blocks and then head out straight in its
direction. I travelled a few miles. I'd guess 5, maybe. We pulled off to the
side on a county road grabbed our video camera and binoculars, and cybershot
camera and started taking pictures.
My son who is 19 was in awe of what he was observing. He video-taped for me
as I shot still photos. His girlfriend, and my daughters took turns observing
this glowing object through my 15x70 binoculars. It's strange how everything
was appearing to us. In real life the UFO looked like a super bright white to
orange orb and sometimes 2 orbs close together. Through the binoculars it
appeared all different colors blinking like a strobe. My pictures were taken
with a 15 x zoom and on sports feature(which captures action pictures with no
flash.) The camera shot photos looked like lights spaced evenly in a
semi-circle and some of the pictures have as many as 6 lights across
horizontally. One has the lights in a strange pattern and almost a flame and
smoke around it. We watched this object and taped it for about 20 minutes
and tried getting closer to it. As we tried to we didn't have the field of
view we needed to see it and were afraid we would lose it. It looked to be
hovering close to the tree tops.
On one section on the video it looks to be hovering at least 2 minutes and
then would go to the right along the treetops slowly and then stop. Then it
would go at the end of the tree clusters and turn back and go left. At one
point it got so low you could see its lights behind the trees. Around 11pm we
had to go back home because my son had to go back to Ohio to work Saturday
morning. Just as we were nearing where my daughter lives at the intersection
of US 26 and Dixon road we saw it again only this time it was right next to
us. We had just turned onto 26 heading east, facing the road block on Dixon
road when my son yelled, "mom stop the van, there it is." I quickly pulled
over and we all jumped out.
My son videoed taped it. It was heading out from the south going northwest
just over the construction site of US 26 over the apartments there. It was a
big ball of light traveling just at tree top level. No sound at all except us
all screaming with excitement and amazement. It had to be around a 1/4 to a
1/2 of a mile from us because of the video and its position on it between the
trees and Dixon road. I've been reviewing this tape over and over and trying
to understand why a plane would be flying so low, with no sound over houses
and apartments. I dropped my son off to his car so he could head back home.
My daughter and I went back out to the same area on the county road around
12:30 and it was there. She wanted me to try and get up closer so we tried
weaving in and out of county roads to bring us closer to the orb.
At one point, I believe we were in a town called Weston, Indiana, the orb
seemed brighter and bigger and I thought we were getting closer. We tried to
get even closer but a road with an arrow made me head away from it east and
the time I got to a road to go back west toward it, it had taken off and the
orb looked alot smaller in the distance. It seemed to be traveling really
fast, maybe several counties away. I tried chasing it and ended up in
Russiaville. I lost it. I stopped all along the way and took pictures of
what was a strange red strobe flashing in the night sky that seemed to be
associated with the now smaller orb in the distance. Anyway, I'll be trying
to eliminate airports and air craft flying in the vicinity of our sighting.
Also, I would like to add that the object looked somewhat like the persons
video on Youtube from Denver, Indiana in January 2008. It only appeared that
way though through the binoculars to me. It makes me wonder how really close
this thing was to them. Our digital camera picked up what our eyes were
observing, a flying bright light. My camera captured something completely
different. Strange isn't it. Like the skies are over Kokomo. Something's out
there in the skies that needs to be explained. Watch for it and take your
cameras.

Hythe Kent, England An Oval Shape Silver UFO
Date: May 19, 2008
Time: 4:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Oval shape silver in color.
Weather Conditions: Sunny, scattered clouds.
Description: Working outside when spotted a silver oval shaped object hovering
in the sky it was below cloud level as clouds were passing over the top of it.
Called my friend over to see what he thought we both thought it was strange we
watched it for a couple of minutes when all of a sudden it shot off at high
speed over the channel towards France leaving us very confused as to what we
just saw.

Lawrenceville, Pennsylvania Round Bright Light
Date: May 19, 2008
Time: 10:30 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round Bright Light.
Weather Conditions: Mostly Clear Skies.
Description: I had just got home and proceeded to walk to my porch! I stood
there looking up at the moon when a bright yellowish light moved faster than
I've ever seen! It flew from one side of the sky to the other in a second!! At
first I thought I just witnessed a shooting star. But then it just stopped in
mid-air. It sat there for about 10 seconds. Then it proceeded to fly towards
me at a very slow speed. It flew over me and headed north. I can say that
there was some sort of blinking light on it. Almost like you would see on
airplanes. But i do not know of any aircraft that can move that fast and just
stop. Also as it flew over me and headed away it gained a massive amount of
elevation! Now I'm not an aviator of any sort but I do know that any plane
I've ever sat and watched in the sky stayed at a steady elevation. This object
moved higher and higher into the sky. It went so high it disappeared! Almost
like it flew out of the earth's atmosphere. I just felt like I needed to share
this with anybody who is interested.

Oshawa, Ontario A Long White/Silver Wingless Object (UFO)
Date: May 24, 2008
Time: Approx: 6:30 p.m.
I wanted to share with you, an unknown sighting that occurred recently over
Oshawa, Ontario. On Saturday, May 24,2008, at about 6:30pm. I was on my deck,
cooking on the BBQ. I felt the urge to look up in the sky to the west and then
to the east. At that moment looking east of my position. I noticed very high
in the sky. A long white/silver "wingless" object moving across with a slight
jerking motion, heading towards Lake Ontario. As I watched it, my mind thought
of running in the house to grab a member of the family to witness this thing.
Or should I run in the house to get my camera. Instead, I just froze, as I
watched this missile like object move across the sky from north to south. I
watched it for about 15 -20 seconds, as it moved further from my view. The
conditions of the sky had a slight veil of cloud. Due to it's altitude, I'm
sure it passed over without anyone else detecting it. In truth, I'm a little
freaked about the timing. Very uncanny to witness a UFO ,from a urge in
looking up to the sky. I gather something's going on in our skies.

Rochester, New York Bright Orange Balls Of Light Fall Into The Lake (UFOs)
Date: May 25, 2008
Time: 9:20 - 10:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Rochester NY.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Bright Orange Balls of light.
Full Description of event/sighting: This isn't the first time I have seen the
lights over the lake. They are bright orange always and they either fade away
suddenly or the seem to drop out of the sky into the water. You can tell they
are defiantly not flares nor are they boat or buoy lights. They hang around
and it always baffles me that no one else seems to notice or pay attention to
them as if they can't see them or maybe they do and they just dismiss them. I
have seen them a total of 10 times in the past year and there have been more
them three witnesses with me at different times.

West Side Of Michigan North On Muskegon Star Like Objects
Date: May 25, 2008
Time: Evening.
I live on the West side of Michigan North on Muskegon. Two nights in a row
I was outside and noticed "star like" objects moving across the sky and then
very gradually fading away to invisibility as they continue on their path.
They never flashed or looked like aircraft they looked like bright stars that
move slowly and can be seen easily with the naked eye. Too slow moving to be
'falling stars'. The second one I saw seemed to change course just prior to
fading out.

Burleson, Texas UFO Shines What Looks Like A Spotlight
Date: May 25, 2008
Time: Approx: 11:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: To the left of the big dipper.
Number of witnesses: 7
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round.
Full Description of event/sighting: I live in Burleson, which is just South of
Fort Worth in Texas. Last night, me, my fiancé', my sister, her 14 yr. old
son, his 2 friends, and my other nephew who is 8 yrs. old, were sitting out in
the backyard with a fire going and watching the stars. We had seen several of
the satellites in the sky last night. My sister turned to the West, a little
to the left of the big dipper and saw what we thought was a satellite. As we
were all looking, I noticed that the light was getting brighter. It was as far
away looking as the satellites you can see. But then, it shined what looked
like a spotlight, that came up from underneath the UFO. It was so far away, it
didn't have a ray coming out or anything. Anyway, it then stopped for a
second, then got more dim as it dashed quickly to the right, then faded away.
There were no blinking lights on it, and it was too far away to be a
helicopter.
That was not a military aircraft, because we don't have aircraft that can move
like that. The government can say all they want, but there have been so many
spotting this year, maybe they need to take this even more serious, and listen
to the people!
I know what I saw, and I have 6 witnesses to back me up!

Proyecto UFO Piura, Peru Sightings (Photos)
Posted: May 26, 2008
Our group has been working on UFO research since 1989. We usually carry out
observation camps every month, every other month, or every three months. It
depends on our time or resources. In a country like Peru preparing for trips
like this is an expensive activity (transportation bills, food, bag packs,
clothing, cameras, sleeping bags, etc). We just borrow some things from
relatives or friends.
There are many UFO contacting groups in Peru that claim to have the ability to
summon spacecrafts from other planets. But People in Piura, as in other
places, think that claimimg without proving is useless.
That is why Proyecto UFO Piura have tried for years to get a photo or a film
of what we have been sighting for 18 years. Now thanks to the technology we
managed to borrow photo and film cameras to get a little footage as proof of
what we have seen.
It was on Saturday April 19, 2008. Paul Idrogo, Oscar Ruiz, Chris Curo
(students) and me (teacher Josue Gonzales) went to the desert as usual. In the
evening a strange yellowish light appeared in the south of our position
indicating (for us as usual) that something was going to happen. Then it
dissappeared.
At 9:30 PM aprox. on the left (east) of our position, flying over a hill
appeared a big oval light that suddenly split in three(as it is recorded in
the video). Then between 10:30 and 10:50 PM we could film an object full of
light, on the ground or close to it, that changed in shape and color (as it is
shown in the sequence of photos taken from the film.
But, when we thought that everything was over, exactly at 11:02 PM a beautiful
oval pale orange light suddenly jump into the air (too pale to be detected by
the handycam) scatering many tiny bright stars around (this sighting repeated
up to 6 times consecutively before us perhaps as a confirmation that
everything was under "their" control); and finally, two minutes later, an
incredible powerful silver flash of light was seen in the middle of the dark
of the desert ( the first photo of the sequence is precisely the freeze-frame
of the flash amplified).
We enjoy our work. We just want the truth to be known. We do know about the
veto regarding UFOs in certain countries. But we are sure that now is the time
to put things clear before all the people in the world. Sightings around the
world must not be considered a weird random case any more. UFOs are real and
everyone must start to study the meaning of its presence.
