*********** ************** **********
Location: South Africa, Eastern Free State, Warden
Date: 25 June 2008.
Time: +- 18H30.
Number of witnesses: Only me that I know off.
Number of objects: Seemed like a single object.
Shape of objects: Seemed 'langwerpig'?
Weather Conditions: Clear skies, early evening - already dark out.
Chilly outside. No moon present. 'Milky-Way' bright.
Description: I was busy outside and stared at the stars for a whle
and suddenly my eyes caught something in the sky moving very very
fast "below" the Milky Way(it seemed as if it were much closer to
the ground than to outer space). Direction: western side of the
Milky-Way towards the eastern side, but I started seeing it
somewhere in the middle of the two - saw it only briefly for a few
seconds (maybe 4-5 seconds). The reason I said it seemed closer to
the ground than to outer space is that it looked as if it had been
reflecting the towns lights the same low lying clouds does if it is
above a well lit area. But it wasn't reflecting that clearly, more
of a "dowwerige skynsel" (Editor:unnatural ghostly appearance).
The area that I saw looked something like
the bottom outside area of a coke bottle but just with round 1/2
'bubbles'. Above these you could make out something darker but not
clear at all. This thing was moving much more faster than the
'satellites' we usually see. I tried to keep on following it but it
seemed like it just blended in with the night sky. I looked to the
area where I thought it might be moving to and saw a bright blimp as
if a plane were flying there - only saw this bright blimp once.
Still in the same path it might have taken a plane was flying in the
eastern side in direction north to south. Did not see anything else
except for a possible satelite traveling north to south on the
western side. This possible satellite's light/reflecting the sun were
present at all times and it dissappeared in the southern part of the
sky. I saw this satelite around +-18H35.
This thing I had described earlier - I saw a similar one a few years
ago also above Warden but it was much much much closer. I was
sitting outside looking at the evening sky (already dark outside -
cannot remember time nor date). As I glimsed directly above me
something massive (much bigger than the above mentioned one) caught
my attention. It had the same 'Texture' to it and reflected a bit
more light than this one, with a darker background. Seemed to be in
the form of a 'vierkant'(Editor: square). There was no noise eminating from
this
thing. It moved slowly over the town (small town)in direction
north-west to south-east and then suddenly made a 90 degree turn
south after a minute or so. I stood up and slowly ran for a few
meters to try and keep an eye on it but I lost sight of it. This
whole episode was about 2minutes in total. I was so overwhelmed by
it, I forgot to phone anyone when it happened and only afterwards
phoned my husband and a friend telling them what I had seen. It
might seem funny but I assure you it wasn't any birds in flight or a
plane, or my imagination or something like that.

Bramhall Stockport England Grey Cigar Shaped UFO
Date: Unknown, quite a few years ago.
Time: Approx: 6:30 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Sort of like a hotdog shape and it was grey.
Weather Conditions: It was winter so would have just been going dark.
Description: Hovering above houses quite high, me my mum and my sister all saw
it, it wasn't moving in the air though and we watched it as we drove down the
road. Then it just disappeared totally. It didn't have lights or anything was
just grey and hovering. It was definitely a UFO!
----------
Tranent East Lothian, Scotland A Huge Circular UFO Stationary
Date: December 31, 1979
Time: Approx: 8:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round with a small cone at one side.
Weather Conditions: Clear, no wind, dead still.
Description: My girlfriend (now wife of 27 years) and I were walking from my
house in Tranent to the pub (stone cold sober at this time) to celebrate the
forthcoming new year festivities. I saw a huge circular object stationary
above Cockenzie power station, East Lothian. It was approx 100m in diameter
and bright orange, hovering approx 50m above the two chimneys. There was a
small cone shaped tail rather like the exhaust from a jet engine but there was
no noise. I turned to my wife and asked her if she could see this as I thought
that I was seeing things. She confirmed yes, she could.
We both watched this for approximately 1 min and it then moved off slowly
accelerating, it then disappeared into thin air with no sound. I have only
told a handful of people of this until now. I have a Masters degree in
engineering and know how things work but I have never seen anything like this.
I am 100% certain that it was not an aircraft but a UFO.
TV/Radio: I think there were several similar sightings in New Zealand about
the same time and the TV said that due to strange weather conditions it was
the planet Jupiter. No way !
----------
Alien Encounter On Vancouver Island, British Columbia In 2005
Date: Summer 2005
In the summer of 2005, my husband and I were living in a trailer in the bush,
on a mineral claim. It was very quiet up there, at the end of an old
abandoned logging road. We also had a cat and a dog with us.
Then, one night, some noise woke me up in the middle of the night. I think it
was about 3:00 am. I felt very stiff and heavy; I had a hard time opening my
eyes to see what was going on outside. You know how these old trailers are
shaped, you enter by the kitchen and totally at the end of a narrow hallway,
you have the bedroom. This bedroom had windows on three sides. We had put
heavy curtains in them. I felt there was a lot of action out there and when I
finally managed to open my eyes, the bedroom was filled with bright electric
blue light! I was sleeping on the far side of the bed. I looked at my husband
and he was still sleeping. Then, what I remember is being slowly lifted up in
the air, floating. I remember the sensation really well, it felt really
comfy. I remember having a smile on my face. That blue light was coming from
all the windows in the back of the trailer. I was floating almost to the
ceiling when I turned my head to the right and I saw my husband, still in bed
but this time awake, looking very happy and excited. He was saying they've
come, they've come! And he too had a big happy smile on his face. Then I
really started to think about me floating in the room and wondering Hey!
what's going on? How come I'm floating!
I turned my head around slowly to the left side and I saw it. The being. It
was wearing a large and long dark tunic, thick gloves and a heavy mask. A bit
like a decontamination suit. He was the one keeping me in the air. He had
his arms outstretched in front of him, pointing towards me. He was short,
approximately 5 feet. And then, I had the sensation everything was ok, that I
should just fall asleep like that. I suddenly felt like I was going up.
My husband and I woke up with a start, with the cat and the dog running and
barking and hissing like crazy. It was quite bright outside, I looked at the
time and it was 6:00 am. What had all just happened seemed like a moment ago,
and yet about 3 hours passed in a flash. I remembered on the spot everything
I just wrote. My husband remembers it too, but a bit less then me.
Afterwards, during that same summer we kept hearing that strange, low
frequency sound above us in the air. That vibrating sound was there the night
it happened. We often had the impression of being observed.

Mangham, Louisiana A Gigantic Black Triangle
Date: Mid - Late 2005
Time: 9:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Gigantic black triangle.
Weather Conditions: Clear skies
Description: This sighting took place a couple of years ago, but after finding
this sight, I felt compelled to share. I had gone out on my front porch to
have a cigarette and looked straight out over the yard. Over the tree line in
the distance, I noticed a gigantic formation of lights, 3 whitish-yellow in a
triangular formation and a dimmer red one in the middle. By the spacing of the
lights, you could tell that the object was huge. It was night so I couldn't
make out the
details of the craft, but it was darker than the star-lit sky, so you could
make out a definite triangle shape. It flew very low, just over the trees,
slow, and completely silent. I ran inside to get my girlfriend and she saw it
for a moment till it moved behind a closer tree line, not to be seen again.
This thing was absolutely huge. I'll never forget it.
----------
Brighton, U.K A Bright Globe Shaped UFO
Date: November 2006
Time: 9:20 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: globe,
Weather Conditions: Bright
Description: It was on the Bonefire Night (5th Nov) and me and my girlfriend
went down to see the old-timer cars from London. As we were late, there were
no cars but plenty of fireworks could be seen on the beach. From the Channel a
bright orange globe was flying slowly forward Brighton but it had stopped
above the sea and stayed there for 5- 6 minutes, then slowly disappeared
vertically. You could see the brightness even above the clouds for approx 5
minutes.
TV/Radio: I haven't reported it yet as I didn't want to look stupid. But my
friend showed me this website today and I found someone who had the same
sighting from an other place.
----------
Newport Pagnell Milton Keynes, U.K. Dull Orange Objects
Date: December 12, 2007
Time: 9:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 3
Shape of objects: dull orange balls
Weather Conditions: Clear.
Description: Traveling home from Newport Pagnell Christmas night and we saw
the three lights in the sky following south bound direction of M1, they were
traveling at quite a slow speed we watched for a few minutes until they seemed
to disappear. They were so close together it would have been impossible to be
a helicopter or plane.
----------
Isle Of Man Peel, Peel Golf Course, U.K. A Round Ball Of White Light
Date: April 4, 2008
Time: 10:15 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round ball of white light
Weather Conditions: clear and calm with a few scattered clouds
Description: I had just finished a meal and gone out side for a cigarette.
Looking up to admire the stars i saw a bright white light moving slowly across
the sky. Above the light i could clearly see two passenger planes, there blue
and red lights flashing. The bright light then stopped moving and just hung in
the sky for about 10 seconds leading me to believe it was just a helicopter,
until it shot out of site at very, very high speed.
----------
South-West Shropshire, U.K. Two Orb UFOs
Date: May 31, 2008
Time: Approx: 9:30 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 4
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Two orbs of light, one slightly mauve, the other slightly
orange with a single bar linking them at an angle.
Weather Conditions: Thin cloud.
Description: The UFO had two orbs of light, one slightly mauve, the other
slightly orange with a single bar linking them at an angle. It seemed to be
only 100 - 200 meters up and the bar linking the lights was visible. There
were no wings and no motor. It was moving very smoothly and straight but
making no absolutely no noise... This made it extremely weird. The direction
it was traveling was South-West towards the North-East.
----------
Bournemouth Dorset, U.K. Small Dot Looking UFOs
Date: Early June 2008
Time: Approx: 10:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Small dots about the size of a star.
Weather Conditions: Fine and clear.
Description: I was outside the house with my partner having a cigarette when I
just happened to look up and see two objects moving at a speed just faster
than a satellite or plane in a West to East direction. The lead object was
white the rear object gold. (Exactly as described by the people at Osmington
Mills)
It was difficult to judge height but if you can imagine holding your arm out
and keeping your forefinger a centimeter away from your thumb this was the
distance between the objects.
----------
Coalville Leicestershire, U.K. A Bright Silver Disk
Date: June 11, 2008
Time: 3:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Disk bright silver.
Weather Conditions: sunny no clouds very bright.
Description: I was driving from the A42/M42 towards Bardon Hill quarry and in
the sky ahead was a silvery disk. It was stationary then moved rapidly to the
left then further to the right then ascended up and out of sight. I would put
this object at 10000 feet. There was a passenger plane at cruising altitude
above and a helicopter about half a mile away. I'm sure they would have seen
it.

Mobile, Alabama Filming The Moon Produces Two UFOs (Photos)
Date: June 19, 2008
Time: 8:45:09 and 8:45:42 p.m.
Last night(6-19-08) I went down to the bay here in Mobile, Alabama to try my
luck at obtaining a decent moon picture. The moonrise was quite stunning and I
was able to get the picture that I wanted. After taking several pictures the
moon began to loose its red/orange color so I changed locations to a new spot
just down the road. At this point I decided to take several shots of the I-10
interstate bridge along with the moon. After returning home I found something
strange in the two bridge/moon pictures. An object appears just above the
interstate bridge in both pictures. It appears to be moving slowly as these
are long exposures and the distance traveled by the cars on the bridge can be
seen by the streaking red taillights.
I saw no aircraft anywhere near this location at the time the photos were
taken. I did not see the object either. The time was 8:45pm on 6/19/09.I'm
including 3 pictures below. The first is just that "Moon" picture that I was
out to get in the first place. I include this just for your viewing pleasure
The last two pictures are the ones containing the actual unknown object.The
timestamp on the two pictures is 8:45:09 and 8:45:42 so there is a 33 second
difference between the two pictures. The exposure length on the two pictures
is 10 seconds and 6 seconds. This object appears to be just sitting over the
interstate given the length of time and the short distance traveled. "Take
note of something else odd".I almost missed this!
In the first object picture look at the street lamp just to the right of the
object. It is not lit. However the next one to the right is lit.Now look at
the second object picture. Now that the object is close to that "second lamp
to the right" it is no longer lit! I noticed this while writing this e-mail so
now I will include two more close-up pictures showing this.
This is quite strange. Is this object effecting electrical devices around it?

Huntington Beach/Orange County, California A Bright Light - Blue Tint
Date: June 19, 2008
Time: Approx: 1:00 a.m.
My girlfriend and I recently saw a UFO around Huntington Beach/Orange County
area. About 1:00 am. We went outside my girlfriends house in Fountain Valley
to get some fresh air. Then I noticed a helicopter to my left when I was
looking up. To my right, I noticed a bright white light, with a tint of blue.
I didn't think much, but my girlfriend was drawn to it more than me and then
she asked me if it was a plane. I quickly turned and saw that it looked like a
"fireball" but not of the color or a fireball. I started to say "No honey, I
don't think it's...." then it disappeared.
No trace of anything. The lights were not of a typical plane (where the lights
blink left to right) nor was it any police helicopter (blue and red lights
blinking) and on top of that, there were no traces of smoke from the UFO,
thinking it could have been a meteorite entering our atmosphere. It was dark,
but the moon was full that night, and I'm positive I would have seen a
"shadow" of something because the object was going towards the light, but I
saw nothing. Have you heard of anything on this date and what can I do to
help?

San Luis Obispo, California A Bright Yellow Ball
Date: June 20, 2008
Time: 12:50 a.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Bright yellow ball.
Weather Conditions: Clear, warm night, near full moon.
Description: I was watching the stars at night and noticed a bright yellow
light approach from the southwest. My view was a bit obstructed by a tree at
first but the intensity of the light was great enough that it rayed through
the tree as a helicopter's spotlight in the distance would. The light it
emitted could not be
confused with a helicopter. It was far more yellow than any aircraft I have
ever seen. I waited for it to come into better view and considered waking my
girlfriend to see it. I moved to side of the yard to get a better view. By
this time the light was far off in the distance going the way it came. It
faded out into the sky in the distance as it left, not the horizon.
This all happened over the course of about 20 seconds. There was no way any
normal aircraft could have traveled that distance that quickly. I am a very
skeptical person and I don't usually believe things until I witness them
personally, but last night made a UFO believer out of me.
----------
Mapperley Park, Nottingham, UK A Rugby Ball Shaped UFO
Date: June 21, 2008
Time: 12:40 a.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Rugby ball shaped.
Weather Conditions: Clear.
Description: Walking through Mapperley park between Mansfield Road and
Woodborough Road, looked up through the trees and saw a reddish/orangey/yellowy
ball in the sky, moving slowly and silently, difficult to judge distance but
around a similar height of a police chopper I would guess (we see a lot of
them in the sky around Nottingham!!)The light was pulsing from the centre out
to the edges which lacked a defined shape - best way to describe it would be
pixilated I suppose. Watched it for a good minute then lost it behind trees -
was heading roughly for the city centre.
----------
Wembley, U.K. A Metal Globe Shaped UFO
Date: June 22, 2008
Time: 6:20 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Metal globe.
Weather Conditions: bright, some clouds, very sunny.
Description: This metal globe shaped something was flying from west towards
east above Wembley just under the clouds. There were the usual commercial
planes in the sky as well (flying from south towards north). As its colour was
dark grey (metal) and the sun was shining on it I could see the object even in
a really far distance while it was before the white clouds or blue sky
(through my sunglasses, without them the sky was too bright). My girlfriend
was there with me and she said" it was definitely not an airplane but UFOs are
not existing". The speed was enough fast to disappear within 35-40 sec. behind
the clouds at the edge of the horizon. You can't see any airplanes that far
without binoculars. The exact flying direction was above Preston road.
----------
South Of Lake Ontario, Near Rochester NY Triangular Shaped UFO
Date: June 22, 2008
Time: 11:15 p.m.
After you left BK's chat tonight, my daughter went on a run and she saw an
object she says was about the size of a plane, from where she saw it. It had
blue, red and white lights on it and it was making wild moves impossible for
known aircrafts to do. Up and down and back, she says it did that several
times. Triangular shape, one light each point. Going up northern direction
so people living around lake Ontario should have seen it. Not much to it,
just that maybe other people will report it with a better description.
----------
Anfield, Liverpool, U.K. A Bright Unknown Light
Date: June 22, 2008
Time: 1:10 a.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Bright light.
Weather Conditions: Clear and cloud.
Description: Solid bright white object (no flashing red or green lights)
passing at great speed west to east, too fast to be an aeroplane, much too
fast and high to be police helicopter
----------
Hassocks, West Sussex, UK A Bright Orange Orb
Date: June 22, 2008
Time: 10:20 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 4
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Bright Orange Orb
Weather Conditions: Clear skies.
Description: A sighting has just been seen in Hassocks, West Sussex. Not by
myself personally but my partners parents. They just rushed in to say they
were out in the street with their neighbors when suddenly a bright orange orb
moved slowly, steadily and silently across the sky. It lasted for about a
minute until it eventually went out of view.
UFOINFO Note: As with other similar reports I asked the witness to have a look
at the UFO Balloons website to see if this is what might have been seen and
received the following reply:
Hi,
Thanks for replying. After they came in and told me I researched on the
internet and checked the UFO balloon site, along with videos on youtube of
similar sightings. This morning I asked again if it could've been lanterns but
he was certain it wasn't and said that he's never experienced anything like it
and even after many possibilities thought up by other people he doesn't agree.
-----
I, and our neighbors had a close encounter last evening at around 10.15pm. We
were outside chatting [they had been to a wedding and were telling us of their
terrible journey] when K**** stopped mid-flow and said "What the hell's that?"
We all spun around and watched as a bright orange ball passed from West to
East. We were all facing South. The object was low[ish] [difficult to tell of
course] and came closer and closer at the speed of a very fast plane. As it
passed in front of us it was the size of a 3/4 moon, elevation 45deg., almost
round shaped but with what looked like wavy flames "dropping down" its side a
1/4 way in, on the leading edge, extending to half way across the disc. I say
flames but they were not actually flames its just that I cannot describe them
correctly. It maintained what seemed to be a dead straight course, with
constant speed; and we were able to see it for some time after it became a
light in the extreme distance. The whole thing lasted some 3 to 4 minutes."
