Auckland New Zealand A Very Bright Light
Date: June 12, 2008
Time: 7:20 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Very bright light, couldn't tell the shape.
Weather Conditions: Clear, no wind and good visibility.
Description: I was standing on deck outside looking at stars. One star that I
was observing appeared to start coming straight towards me, very fast getting
larger and larger and closer and closer. It startled me, I called to my
girlfriend in the house and as I did so it seemed like I scared it off with my
startled actions. It stopped coming towards me and reversed back the way it
came, very fast getting smaller and smaller and then disappearing into space?
I don't know, it did shock me even though I did see a similar thing when I was
8 years old. I am interested to see if anyone else saw this. Thank you,
anonymous in New Zealand.

Hawaiian Acres, Puna, Hawaii's Big Island Bright Point Of Light
Date: June 12, 2008
Time: 8:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Bright points of light.
Weather Conditions: Mostly clear with slight cloud cover and bright moonlight.
Description: Me and my dad were outside and he said "look at that" and pointed
up into the north sky where we both saw a bright point of light brighter than
any of the other stars in the sky and it was moving north to south at an
incredible speed. It seemed to be reflecting the sunlight from over the
horizon and it took only 10-12 seconds for it to travel across the entire sky.
We stood there discussing what it might have been for a few seconds when he
said "look another one" and I looked up into the northern sky again to see a
second point of light moving along the same path as the first at roughly the
same speed.
As it dipped towards the horizon it dimmed and finally flashed silver before
disappearing, it couldn't have been a commercial jet because those have
running lights and we would have heard its engines, also it seemed to be
reflecting not generating its own light, we then it may have been a B2 stealth
bomber as they have been flying over the islands recently but we quickly
discarded that idea as B2's have a matte black non reflecting surface, we
thought it may be a satellite but it was moving too fast and was being trailed
by a second craft, we thought it may have been a missile test but we didn't
see anything about it on the news and they don't fly the tests over the
islands. They had no trails like comets or contrails from commercial jets they
were singular points of light. The speed and complete lack of noise was
amazing and we stood there for a good half hour looking for more and
discussing what the things may have been.

Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows, British Columbia Triangular Shaped UFO
Date: June 13, 2008
Time: 10:50 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 3 lights
Shape of objects: Triangle shape then seems to switch light positions.
Weather Conditions: Light cloud and clear, bright moon.
Description: My son and I were getting the house ready for the night and was
letting the dog out, as i looked out the kitchen door (northwest) I saw 2 very
bright white lights and a single red light all in shape of triangle.constant
lights flashing one at a time, but the red stayed solid. it was very large in
size, a city block or so, even bigger as I watched it head north west slowly,
I was choked I didn't get to see it as it most likely came right over my area.
not a single sound or anything, just a shape of a triangle, I couldn't see
anymore than the lights in the dark. I thought of a plane or something but was
able to see one coming from the northeast,...nothing like it, it moved out of
the way of the incoming plane in the distance slowly heading northerly. I have
seen some weird lights before thinking planes but this was clear, slow and
controlled....never had I felt so sure of seeing something flying that
different and obvious, soundless . it went higher just to cloud height, i
watched it there for about 1 minute.

Mid Vancouver Island, British Columbia Fireball/Meteor A Brilliant Turquoise
Color
Date: June 14, 2008
Time: Between 11:30 p.m. and midnight .
Hi Brian! I also (along with a couple of witnesses) saw the Fireball at
approx. between 11:30 and midnight Sat. the 14th of June. It appeared to be
very large and heading in a northward direction.The color was a brilliant
turquoise color with a streaming (2 or 3) part tail. I viewed it through an
opening in some trees while in a friends backyard from the mid Vancouver
Island area. I have never seen one this color or size before, it was
beautiful. We were joking about the fact it looked like it would have landed
very close to us, judging by the size, and its trajectory path. We heard no
sound at all.

Burbank, California A Black Triangular UFO
Date: June 14, 2008
Time: Approx: 11:50 p.m.
Hello, My name is (name removed) and I feel a little awkward writing this
e-mail because I'm not in the habit of contacting perfect strangers, but what
I saw last night in Burbank prompted me to search the internet for any
possible explanations and thus I came across your post.
At approximately 11:50 pm last night I was lying in bed watching TV and out of
the corner of my eye I saw a series of flashing white lights coming from
outside the window. I opened the blinds and what I saw will be forever
ingrained in my mind.
I saw an air craft of some sort that was black and had several lights
underneath it. It was triangular in shape and sharp in design, if that makes
any sense, with tight angles on the corners. The lights underneath it where
flashing in a fast and random pattern with colors of red, green, and white
(perhaps yellow). It was flying way low, so much so that it looked like it
was going to crash into the roof of the building behind me. It was moving at
extreme speeds, not gliding by any means. I was just barely able to catch it.
It did not produce any noise whatsoever.
I stood there stunned and I immediately sent a text message to my brother
saying, "Oh my God, I think I just saw a UFO!" He responded by saying that he
did too. I decided to call my brother instead and he said he was out in
Hollywood with a group of friends. They say a green light ripping through the
sky. It looked to be about the size of a quarter according to one of his
friends. Their description is very similar to yours. I just happened to
catch it when it was passing by a LOT closer.

Qualicum Beach, British Columbia A Brilliant Turquoise/Green Meteor
Date: June 14, 2008
Time: 11:41 p.m.
I saw this and with luck was almost looking directly at it when it started. It
occurred at 23:41 hrs and was a particularly long burn as it lasted about 4 to
5 seconds. My location is Qualicum Beach and it entered at approximately a 45
degree angle heading almost due north about 30 degrees above the horizon. It
burned a brilliant turquoise/green and broke into 3 pieces while leaving a
long glowing trail. This sucker was bright! It was the most spectacular
meteor fall I have ever seen in my years of stargazing.

Azusa, California Streaming White/Blue Fireball/Meteor
Date: June 14, 2008
Time: 11:55 p.m.
Location of Sighting: East of 210 fwy traveling West in Azuza,
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Fireball.
Full Description of event/sighting: I saw the same thing. It was a streaming
white/blue light that was low prepared for a landing (Azusa, CA) on the
opposite side freeway as I was traveling west on the 210 freeway just pass the
Azusa off-ramp. Later that evening I mentioned to my friends that were
traveling behind me what I "thought" saw.
----------
Fremont, California Fireball/Meteor Sighting
Date: June 14, 2008
Time: Approx: 11:55 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Fremont, CA.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Fireball.
Full Description of event/sighting: My wife and I, traveling south through
Fremont, CA, around 11:55 pm, saw what looked like an extremely bright meteor
descending toward the southern horizon. We cannot say that it was a UFO, but
it was astonishingly bright and we at first thought a plane or some other
object might be falling toward the local town of Milpitas. Only later, based
on similar reports on Yahoo, did we conclude that it might be a meteor heading
due south. However, it was much brighter than any meteor I have ever seen
before. We note with interest: a) several reports of sightings in southern
California that report the object moving north (rather than south, as in most
accounts); b) there were similar sightings in Seattle and Portland; c) the
coincident UFO sightings.

Whitchurch, Bristol U.K. Black Orb - Disc Shaped UFO
Date: June 14, 2008
Time: Approx: 11.40 a.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Black Orb, disc like shape.
Weather Conditions: Sunny, clear, a few clouds.
Description: I saw a black disc shaped stationary object very high in the sky.
I would say it was at least 30,000 ft. It was nearly overhead but in a south
easterly direction from my viewpoint. I only managed to see it when the sun
was obscured behind a cloud and the black disc was then visible. It stayed
where it was as if hovering. The sun was reflecting off of it and was very
sparkly. Once the sun emerged again it was just too bright to see even with
sunglasses. I
tried to locate it again but was unsuccessful. I would be interested if anyone
else in the area saw it too.

Corona California A Shinning Slow Rotating UFO
Date: June 15, 2008
Time: 12:10 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Corona CA.
Number of witnesses: 5
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round.
Full Description of event/sighting: While I was enjoying floating in a
swimming pool with some friends, I happened to look up at some wispy clouds
toward the north. Just above the clouds a shinning object caught my eye. I
called attention to it to my friends in the water with me. It seem to be
rotating slowly as the light reflecting off it pulsed. It's reflectiveness was
that of chrome plating. I would estimate it's elevation at 10,000 feet. I
would compare it's size to a be-be shot at arms length. At first, the object
seem to meander around in a small circle. As I observed it further, it seem to
be coming toward me. It stopped a moment and then proceeded to circle around
itself. From the reference point of the clouds, it seem to move below the
cloud level from where I first observed it. I continued viewing it and as I
did so, the object slowly moved toward the north until it was out of sight.
The relative wind direction was from the west. This, I thought would rule out
a balloon because a balloon would not move in such a coordinated manner as
this object did and against the wind direction. The total observational time
was twenty five minutes. Persons witnessing this event with me are: (four
witnesses names removed)

Kelowna, British Columbia 3 Flashing Fireballs In A Triangle Formation
Date: June 15, 2008
Time: 11:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Westside mountains.
Number of witnesses: 5
Number of objects: 4
Shape of objects: Round. flashing, looks like big roman candles.
Full Description of event/sighting: Four roommates and I were looking towards
the Westside mountains. I am new to Kelowna I don't have a very good idea of
names, approx: the mountain behind the bluff. There were 3 flashing fireballs
in a triangle formation rising slowly toward the sky and shape shifting. Then
as they went higher and disappeared, one more flashing bright object slowly
rose from the mountains. It continued slowly towards the sky then vanished. We
had no idea what to think of this after hearing of many UFO sightings in
Kelowna. I felt a need to say something.

Trinity, Alabama Bright Flash Followed By A Boom
Date: June 16, 2008
Time: Lunch time (11:30 ?)
Location of Sighting: Western sky.
Number of witnesses: 4
Number of objects: Unknown.
Shape of objects: N/A.
Full Description of event/sighting: First of all, our home is surrounded by
trees. While eating lunch my husband and I noticed an odd electrical colored
flash that occurred from our kitchen window which faces west. It was then
followed by a boom.
The nearest way to describe it was similar to a lightning flash. I looked out
to see if there was a traffic accident on the highway beyond our trees. Later
in the day, we spoke with my husband's parents that live east of us by a tenth
of a mile and they said the grandkids that were with them had seen the flash
too and asked what happened. Their windows face north toward the same highway
that passes North of our house. I feel sure that folks that were traveling
the highway would have seen that flash, considering it was noticeable from
inside two houses, especially since our home is shielded within trees. We
thought it might have been some sort of electrical power line problem, but
that shouldn't have been bright enough to be noticed inside two separate homes
from different angles. We have underground power and the nearest overhead
power lines are about 300 feet beyond our trees. The flash was not lights in
the house blinking.
The highway connects Decatur and Moulton Alabama from east and west. The name
of the highway is Gordon Terry Parkway. The flash of light occurred about
halfway between the towns. My husband described it similar to the flash you
see when someone takes your photo, except it was accompanied by a boom. The
weather was clear and sunny, so it was not lightning.
I did a Google search today and noticed a local news team had reported on a
young man seeing something strange in Decatur recently, that involved the
military and an ambulance. He described the object inside the ambulance like
a large pearl. This was reported on WAFF news from Huntsville, Alabama. This
video of WAFF interviewing him, is posted on Youtube. The news media
introduced the segment questioning a UFO sighting. I missed the local news
that day, so this is the first I am aware of this report.
Huntsville, Alabama is a major aerospace industry town, as well as the
location of Redstone Arsenal. I am speculating that yesterday's flash could
have been related to military exercises.
