Near The Albert Dock, East End of London, England A Silver Disc UFO
Date: Summer 1966/1967
Time: 3:00 p.m.
Weather conditions: Clear dark blue sky.
On a very hot summers day around 3:00pm whilst at my office I stood on the
fire escape and as I looked into the sky there was not a cloud in sight, the
sky was a really dark blue with no mist. I noticed a silver disc shaped object
which appeared to be on the roof of the sky. I called one of my colleagues out
to look, it was there for some time when suddenly from either side of it came
a small silver disc as they came out of the side they did a half circle to the
opposite side, so one went to the bottom way to the opposite side and the
other went the top way to the opposite side and then swiftly shot one to the
east and one to the west. As soon as they left, the main disc shot straight
across the sky to the north, in all, the time scale was 10-15 minutes.
We called the Airforce in West London and was told they were air balloons?
If I was holding it in my hand it would be the size of a tea saucer, yet the
things that came out of the side were the size of a 50p in comparison.

Parkhurst (Northern Suburb Of) Johannesburg, South Africa A Huge UFO
Date: 1983 - Not sure which month - probably middle of year.
Time: 4:00 a.m.
Number of witnesses: Thousands in Johannesburg, Kimberley, Cape Town.
Number of objects: One massive one.
Shape of objects: I saw what looked like a huge building on it's side with
windows and protrusions. It looked similar to the UNISA building that you see
as you drive into Pretoria, coming from Johannesburg. Newspaper reports
describe as cigar shaped I'm not sure I saw the same thing as them but it was
on same night at same time a few miles from the main sighting.
Weather Conditions: Clear.
Description: My bed faced wall of glass, North/East facing. I woke and saw a
huge thing with windows, filling half the sky moving left to right slightly
towards us, over our roof going approximately North to South. It didn't make a
noise, just a white sound like a vibration. I didn't think I had really seen
it as I was half asleep. I got up and walked to the kitchen. I remember seeing
a neon (ultraviolet)line of light shining on one wall opposite the bathroom. I
looked into the bathroom and noticed the white metal window frame glowed an
ultraviolet colour. When I came back from the kitchen it was gone. I told my
husband that it must've been a dream but didn't feel like a dream and drew a
picture for him in the morning,but he wasn't impressed. I showed his partner
who came to fetch him, who was interested. Later I was driving around and saw
news banners announcing UFO Sighted around SA, starting in Hillbrow at 4am,
which is the direction in which it was headed - about 5+ kms south of our
house.
TV/Radio: I obviously bought the paper, but the article and the drawing I made
of the UFO have long since been lost. Not sure if it was THE RAND DAILY MAIL
which no longer exists or THE STAR which does exist. The Public Library
apparently keeps all old newspapers in its archive, but I can't seem to find
the right department to get a copy and I live in Knysna,Western Cape now so I
can't go there. The paper had a fairly small article saying roughly: A huge
cigar shaped UFO hovered above Hillbrow in Johannesburg, at 4am. (I think it
also said "shining lights down onto people on their balconies" but I wonder if
I'm remembering this properly - it seems so far fetched. (Hillbrow is a built
up part of Johannesburg city). The Planetarium and SABC phones were blocked.
The Defence Force didn't have any answers. It was over Kimberley at about 4.30
and over Cape Town at 5am. Seen by thousands. I never heard another word about
it.

Preston Lancashire, U.K. Silver UFO With Dome On Top With Windows
Date: 1988
Time: 6:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Preston.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round.
Full Description of event/sighting: I was going into work on the night shift.
I was driving on a duel carriageway going up a small hill when just above the
tree tops I saw a very large round object, silver in color and a dome on the
top with windows all lighted up. There was a figure, a black figure looking
down at the car. I stopped my car to look at the object and I now was under
the round disk. There was loads of different colored lights which covered the
whole underneath of the disk. It must have been 200 feet across and it just
floated over my car. No noise and my car was still on. I didn't get scared,
just amazed at what I was looking at.
I told every one at work what a had seen, but they thought I was crazy until a
few days later on a Thursday the Sun and other news papers reported that UFOs
were seen all over the world. Well the guys at work were shocked now because I
saw the UFO on Tuesday and it was in the newspapers on a Thursday.
I have seen just two in my lifetime the other was just two weeks ago. My son
called me to the back garden and said dad, what's that in the sky. It was
7:00pm in June, the sky was very clear and it was a large round, very black
object. It just flew across the sky. We watched it for 5 minutes and it didn't
have any shine on it at all. Just above the UFO was a airplane flying well
above the object. It was reflecting as you know from the sun, but the black
UFO was pure black.
It was to big for a balloon and it flew like it was controlled. I reported it
to the Evening Post here in Lancashire who put it in the newspaper with other
witnesses seeing the same thing on the same night.
----------
Above The Calgary, Alberta Airport A Silver Colored Triangular Craft
Date: Mid June 2008
Time: Daylight sighting. (?)
I saw a UFO do the same maneuver in broad daylight for 3 seconds. It looked
like a triangular craft, (like a upright pyramid, more like an inverted cone)
Then it dematerialized. What was so cool was the way it disappeared was like a
fade effect. The outline was visible for a second. I think it was silver, it
flanged out on the bottom of the cone shape. The sighting was above the
Calgary airport about 15 - 20 days ago, so in mid June. I can't really judge
the height, but above the horizon and under the clouds. I'm looking for anyone
that is searching for information on this phenomenon or related things.
----------
Edinburgh, Scotland Cigar Shaped UFO
Date: June 24, 2008
Time: 03.30
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Oval,cigar shaped.
Weather Conditions: Clear, warm, no wind.
Description: While looking at the stars from our window my partner and I saw
an object traveling extremely fast through the sky. We had a side view of it.
It was cigar shaped with 3 or 4 Orange spot lights around it. This was not a
plane it was far 2 fast and there was no noise at all. It was silent. It was
gone b4 we could get a picture of it.

Crewe Cheshire, England 4 Objects In A Diamond Shape
Date: June 26, 2008
Time: 10:30 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 4 at first then 1
Shape of objects: Star or dots.
Weather Conditions: Light cloud some stars visible slight breeze.
Description: From my home directly south 4 white stars? in a diamond shape.
They appeared to be rotating clockwise. I only saw them for 20 seconds the
first time then they just switched off. They re-appeared 2 minutes later for
maybe 30 seconds but did not rotate this time, once again they just switched
off. About 5 minutes later a crisp white light appeared just above the
roofline it never moved in any direction and stayed visible for 1 minute. It
was to large for a star and very bright it blinked 3 or maybe 4 times and
disappeared. I do quite a lot of night fishing but have never seen anything
like them before even on the clearest of nights with a full sky of stars.
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:
I have watched the balloon video and I am 99% sure that they are not what I
saw on Thursday night. I don't think that they would have been visible from
the distance they appeared to be, I to have been to Thailand and witnessed the
balloon festival and the effect was totally different, apart from them
appearing to move clockwise they had no other movement like the balloons. I'll
keep an eye out for any more.

Harrogate North Yorkshire, England White Circular Objects With 8 Points
Date: June 26, 2008
Time: 11.25 - 11.35 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: White Circular with 8 points.
Weather Conditions: Few clouds but mainly clear.
Description: I was stood outside work finishing my cigarette before I started
the night shift. I saw a bright circular object appear which first of all I
believed to be a star. However it rapidly grew to 4 or 5 times its original
size and 8 points of light were emitted from it. these beams of light were
long and thin and stretched out around 10 times the size of the inner circle.
the object and light beams then shrunk and expended a couple of times. I went
inside and up to the canteen were one of my colleagues was sitting and we both
went to the window to watch whatever it was. it shrunk and expanded a few more
times then it seemed to jump to the right then back to the left a couple of
times before dimming out and disappearing altogether.

Hedge End, Southampton, Hampshire U.K. Black Rectangle - Reflective Diamond
Shape
Date: June 26, 2008
Time: Approx: 5:30 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Appeared to alternate between Black Rectangle and reflective
diamond shape.
Weather Conditions: Clear blue skies with one or two small clouds.
Description: I was in the PC World car park at Hedge End on Thursday at some
time between 5:00 and 5:30pm I think - I watched this UFO for about 1 minute -
it traveled from South to North (approx) on a slight angle to the East from
the M27 at that point.
The sky was clear and I watched this object intently. From my vantage point it
appeared to be changing shape from a dark rectangular shape to a bright
reflective diamond shape.
The object did not vary course or direction as I watched it until quite
suddenly it vanished from sight. There was no vapor trail, no noise and no
other aircraft in the sky at the time - although a passenger jet did appear
from the general direction that the object went a short time after it
disappeared. Just possible it may have been sighted by the pilot!
TV/Radio: There have been numerous sighting reports in the area apparently -
including some video footage on the Southampton Echo website

Surrey, British Columbia A Secondary Structure Attached To The UFO
Date: June 28, 2008
Time: 11:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Over Surrey, perhaps closer to Fraser River.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Bright light centre, with smaller lights to each side.
Full Description of event/sighting: My wife and I were out on our 2nd floor
deck on the evening of June 28th and we were just relaxing in the cool breeze
that comes up the ridge from the Fraser river, when I noticed a very bright
light in the south sky.(it actually first appeared to me to be a plane
landing, as I often see this type of light, but they always turn and move into
a landing position ) This light was a bit different, bigger and a different
color, more yellow and as I watched it got brighter and I finally called
attention to it to my wife. We watched it for a few more minutes and noticed
it wasn't moving. I went inside and got my binoculars and a Bausch and Lomb
spotting scope. When I focused on the object with my 7x26 power binos, it
didn't look like a plane at all and appeared to have a secondary structure
attached to the very bright light.
I passed my binoculars to my wife and grabbed my scope and when I focused on
the object I was stunned. I could see the light very well and the sides of the
attached object had three white smaller lights on one side and one smaller
light on the other but maybe we couldn't see the other smaller lights, because
of our angle. It appeared to move closer to where we were and as we both
looked at it, it blinked out and back on, almost as if it knew we were
watching it. We watched this 'thing' from 11:00 pm until nearly 1:00 am and at
one point we thought it was turning as we could see the side lights very
easily with the scope. Then it slowly drifted off towards the west, and we
lost sight of it due to large trees blocking our view. We also saw a few
planes coming in for a landing during our sighting. The strange thing is that
the planes appeared to go both above this object and below it, as they were
approaching the airport in Richmond, for their landing. I don't have a clue
what this was but it was very big and very bright.

Langley, Near Maidstone, Kent, UK A Bright Orange Light
Date: June 28, 2008
Time: Approx: 11:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 5
Shape of objects: Round.
Weather Conditions: Good, clear night.
Description: My wife and I were at the bottom of our garden and my wife
suddenly said, "Look at that". I looked towards the east and saw a bright
orange light, moving very fast across the sky, rising from the tree line from
a south-easterly direction. I expected it to pass roughly east to west but it
changed direction by what seemed to be a 90 degree angle and began to move
away towards the east. No sooner had it begun to fade slightly when another
followed exactly the same path. This was followed by three more, the last two
in fairly quick succession. I tried looking at them through my binoculars but
was able to see only an enlarged image - no further detail was visible, except
for a semi-circular shape rising from the top of the light. I'm not convinced
this was anything other than a slight optical distortion of the binoculars,
however.
The lights were very bright indeed and seemed to be large, although they must
have been very high because they remained visible in the sky until they were
too small to see rather than dipping in any way below the horizon. Whilst they
were visible several aircraft passed overhead, as is customary in this part of
the country. Their lights followed the usual patterns of red, green and white
flashing. I have observed satellites passing overhead many times in the past
also, including one a couple of months ago which was very bright (the
International Space Station, I believe). These lights were nothing like
anything I have ever seen before in the night sky. The light was very intense
and yellowish orange, as if a fire.

St. Leonards On Sea, Hastings East Sussex England A Saucer Shaped UFO
Date: June 28, 2008
Time: 3.10 a.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Circular.
Weather Conditions: Slightly cloudy.
Description: At first I thought it was a circular cloud formation similar to a
whirlpool. I sat from my bed watching it spin around and around. I then
approached the window to get a clearer look and called to my partner. It was a
saucer shape and it felt that we were looking up to the underneath of a very
large object. There were little lights in circular rows and as the object span
they trailed and gave the impression of a large spinning top. You could
distinguish the outside border of the shape and it remained there silent for
about 10 minutes. It was so strange and then it began to rise higher and
higher until we could no longer see it at all.
During the time it was there we noticed two planes flying near they looked
like holiday passenger planes.

Scranton, Pennsylvania An Orange Glowing Object
Date: July 2008 (?)
Time: N/A.
We saw this orange glowing object by a rooftop.
We drover closer to see what it was and it started to come down in to the
second floor windows of the house and went back up.. it started going farther
and farther and moving really fast, so we followed it for a few minutes until
it disappeared in the sky.
It was just gone.
We told our friends and you know how that goes. We didn't know what to
believe, until tonight. Me, my girlfriend, and our friend were in a parking
lot doing donuts with the car. We decided to leave and ended up going the
wrong way. Out of nowhere my girlfriend screams "Baby!! Look, it's the UFO!" I
immediately parked the car so our friend could see what we had just saw the
other week.
It was the exact same thing. Orange. Glowing. Like it was a big fire ball. And
it just chilled in the air for a while and then started going in no specific
direction until it disappeared into the sky again! Now I know that me and my
girlfriend are not the only ones. We are pretty big skeptics, trying to debunk
everything we can. But there is just no explanation.

London, England Two Silver Dull Grey Cylinders
Date: July 3, 2008
Time: 9:45 p.m.
Location of Sighting: London east.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 3
Shape of objects: Cylinder.
Full Description of event/sighting: My partner alerted me to a flashing blue
light above the Millennium Dome in London, which I tried to see with my
binocular, when oh my god, what the heck are these two silver dull grey
cylinders in vertical positions and shining very brightly, like flares from a
boat. But when the zoom was used on camera they blurred out and only showed
orbs. No sound, slight wobble, and black shimmering lines at side of objects
and at base. I have been seeing very high altitude lights over the past 5
months over London and I live in a high rise block of flats, which gives me
primo views over central London. But what I saw and video that night of 3/7/08
I just can't understand as it did seem quite human and not alien. As I thought
straight away, nuclear delivery systems. Take London out and or every other
capital, no witnesses, no delivery system there for must be terrorist. I do
think that it is us and I've been watching for months now and they come and do
what ever they want with no hassle i.e., no helicopter or fighters present.
Surely I'm not the only person to be looking at the night sky over London. I
have video, pictures. I have not told any other persons as collecting info for
self.

Excelsior, Minnesota A Large Formation Of Square UFOs
Date: July 4, 2008
Time: 10:35 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Excelsior, MN.
Number of witnesses: 7
Number of objects: 12
Shape of objects: Square.
Full Description of event/sighting: July 4, 2008 10:35 Central Time
Large formation of square objects observed over Excelsior, MN moving from
southern horizon to the north straight overhead. Objects had four white
lights on each corner which gave the appearance that they were square shaped.
Objects seemed to be very high in altitude, perhaps in Earths orbit. Some
were in pairs or groups of 3 and 4 and would rapidly change position in their
formation. Objects disappeared when they got directly overhead.
Altogether there were approximately 10 to 12 objects total. This event
happened at 2235 local time and lasted about 5 minutes. This was after the
July 4 fireworks show on the lake. There were thousands of people out there.
We were on a boat and there were many witnesses. The fact that the objects
were changing positions in their formation proves to me that they were not
satellites. And they were not aircraft as I know them.
I am an airline pilot and amateur astronomer and feel that I know what is not
normal in the sky. I have seen many strange things at night in the sky but
have always been able to find an explanation. Not this time!
----------
Excelsior, Minnesota Lights Moving In A Circular Pattern Around Object
Date: July 4, 2008
Time: 10:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Excelsior MN.
Number of witnesses: 14
Number of objects: 30
Shape of objects: Not sure just saw lights.
Full Description of event/sighting: We went to Excelsior MN to watch fire
works and had a great view sitting on the beach. The fire works had ended and
we started to gather our belongings, when someone said look and they were
pointing to the sky.
In the sky you could see objects that where flying south to north with four
lights on each object. The lights appeared to be moving on the object in a
circular motion. The color of lights would vary from Red, Blue, Green and
White, but on each object the color of the light would always stay the same.
If it was Red it would remain red. I believe there were about 30 objects that
went past us. They just kept coming and coming. The objects would fly close
together and in groups then just disappear. I can't believe planes can fly
that close together and that many flying at a time. It was the strangest
sighting I have ever seen. I grabbed my sister -in-law. It freaked us out.
We had a group of 14 people on the beach with us, but there where a lot of
people around us, remember the fire works had just ended. Our group contained
people from 45 to 2 years old, and even my 5 year old talks about this event.

Stanwood, Washington Red Orbs (UFOs) And Jet Aircraft
Date: July 4, 2008
Time: 10:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Traveling from east to west.
Number of witnesses: 4
Number of objects: 5
Shape of objects: Red orbs.
Full Description of event/sighting: We saw one red object traveling over the
trees and it kept approaching. It was a red orb that pulsed slightly,
approached quickly and from what we could tell, silently. It disappeared
behind a cloud just as it came directly overhead. But as we looked to the east
again over the trees came another one. It followed the same path and
disappeared as it traveled overhead towards the west in the direction of
Whidbey Naval Station. Then another appeared and traveled the same path, no
blinking lights were seen, it just pulsed. Then two more traveled together
from the east, over our heads to the west. They were not very large. We could
not hear any sound. About 30 minutes after we saw the objects, 5 jets, one at
a time in intervals of about 5 or 10 minutes, traveled a similar route from
east to west. I was a huge skeptic, but I don't know what that was.
----------
Vancouver, British Columbia UBC Highway Green Orbs (UFOs)
Date: July 6, 2008
Time: 12:30 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Vancouver, B.C., UBC Highway.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1-2
Shape of objects: Round green orbs.
Full Description of event/sighting: At approximately 12:30 am early in the
morning of July 6, 2008, me and a friend witnessed a flashing green orb in the
sky. We were on the UBC Highway about a kilometer west of Dunbar in
Vancouver. I noticed the orb first and pointed it out to my friend and we both
got out of the car to watch it. It was located in the southwest area of the
sky at about a 45 degree angle and was about the size of a dime from the
distance we were standing. We witnessed it for about 10 minutes before it
disappeared for a few moments only to then reappear for another 5 minutes or
so. At one point the green orb seemed to split into two green orbs then rejoin
into one, also at one point there seemed to be a green tale that came from the
orb extending vertically upwards. We both couldn't believe what we were
seeing as neither one of us has seen anything like it in our lives.
At about 12:45 am, after the green orb disappeared I dropped my friend off
about five minutes away and started to drive home alone. Here's where it gets
weird. At 12:49 am I got a phone call on my cell from private number and
when I answered heard a really strange series of high pitched tones with a
static in the background. It lasted for about 10 seconds then the line went
dead. A minute later my friend who I had just dropped off called me with the
exact same experience with the phone call. I should state that my cell number
has not been in use as it is not my normal cell and no one I know has the
number.
The identical phone calls as well as the sighting are completely freaking me
out, I am completely baffled. If anyone has any information or similar
experiences I would be grateful for any insight.
