Corunna, Ontario UFOs Zig Zagging Across The Sky
Date: Multiple dates.
Time: From early evening to late at night.
Location of Sighting: my back yard
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Usually white ball, 1 rounded cigar shape that looks like it
goes inward towards the front, sorta like a rounded bugs body with a head
(there were no wings and it they all were silent).
Full Description of event/sighting: I have been bothered for a couple of years
now because both my husband and I see these white objects that zigzag across
the sky. We see them at least once a week.
The night time balls of light: The ones we see at night are just a white ball
of light. We do have a lot of air traffic, so we know what the planes and
helicopters look like. We also know what the satellites look like. The ball of
lights are too low to be a satellites and too high to be a plane, but they
must be huge to be that bright. We see them flying different directions, and
they fly fast, slow, zig zag, change direction, and eventually, they all have
accelerate and just zip upward and disappears.
The scariest one was, I spotted a particularly low, large white light. I told
my husband to check it out. We both walked out into the driveway and it was
flying from our right to left, very slowly. I started to tease my husband and
say I was going to invite them, and I got out my lighter and started flicking
it towards it, like they do at a concert, and I was saying, "come here". I no
sooner said that when this thing turned and started heading right for us. We
both freaked out and ran back to our back stoop. We kept an eye on it. It
sorta stopped and then all of a sudden, it shot up and away from us and
disappeared. That happened in the fall of 2007.
Now the one that we saw in daylight, early evening, happened in May of 2008.
Our friends were leaving our house so we were standing outside their car, and
my husband looked up and spotted this wingless, shiny, oval thing with sort of
a "head" to it, flying from our right to left. Our friends saw it too. They
are skeptics and were saying, it's just a plane. We said, look, there are no
wings, and there is no sound. As soon as we said that, this thing started
accelerating, then shot up and away. Needless to say, our friends could not
explain that one.
We have seen the white ball type flying low at dusk, at a friends house. We
were all on their front porch, and watched a low flying one zig zagging
across, the accelerating and shooting upwards till it disappeared. They live
in the same town as us, not far.
I just wonder if anyone from anywhere sees these things. One bit of info for
you. We live near a lot of plants and refineries. Sometimes the stacks at the
refineries have flares that could light up the sky. Do you think that maybe
whatever is out there is interested in what those flares are and maybe that's
why I see so many around here?

Williams Lake, British Columbia Sky Lit Up And Loud Boom
Date: 1990's (?)
Time: Evening.
I wish I could remember the date. It was in the 90s, and I was in bed
listening to music radio up in Williams Lake, B.C. All of the sudden the whole
dark sky lit up with a bright white light, which then changed colours. I don't
remember the order, but it turned green, blue, yellow, and orange. There was a
loud boom that accompanied it, I believe beforehand, but it could have been
afterwards. I immediately turned my radio on to Coast 2 Coast AM and heard at
least a dozen other witnesses to the incident, most from Washington state. One
was a pilot who saw something in front of his plane and almost crashed into a
building, one was a trucker driving down the road and saw an object crash to
the earth. They believed it was a meteor, but the trucker insisted the landing
area was government property used to test military stuff?
----------
Vernon, British Columbia Cylinders
Date: Multiple dates in June
Time: Daytime sighting.
Here are some pictures of cylinders in the skies here in Vernon. The pictures
have the dates attached, and all were taken in late June 2008. Most are hard
to see, but were unmistakable. Those that were not simply hovering, flew
unlike what I would have expected. They seemed to be moving sideways, (at
least what I would call sideways), not end to end. But the majority were
hovering, motionless. Some were the size of transport trucks, or larger, and
hovered extremely high, where as some appeared to be quite a bit smaller, like
a probe, or massive bird.
Anyhow, judge for yourself, but pictures can never really depict 1st hand
sighting.

Abbotsford, British Columbia Bright Object Filmed
Date: June 28, 2008
Time: 4:15 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Sumas Mountain looking north.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round white light very bright.
Full Description of event/sighting: Well my brother and his family went
fishing at a lake on top of Sumas Mountain. On the way back I stopped to rest
because of the steep hill. I sat on a step looked up and said look "UFO"! It
was real bright, so my brother came back to where I was sitting and took 2
pictures and rest on video.
----------
North London, U.K. Green Colored UFO
Date: June 21, 2008
Time: 11:30 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Unknown.
Weather Conditions: Dark night.
Description: While watching TV in my room when I saw a greenish light in the
sky through my window. I thought it was a bit odd because I don't usually see
bright green lights on planes, it might have been flashing a bit
I started viewing the object and it appeared to be moving faster than the
average plane. I could not tell the shape, how far way it was or how high up
it was because of the darkness.
The object drifted across the sky and went behind some other buildings and
then starting going in away for a few seconds. Then it stopped and started
going the other way until I couldn't see it anymore from my view..
It was definitely not a plane as they wouldn't change directions like that,
possibly a helicopter. But it didn't make any noise and I don't know what a
helicopter would be doing in the area at that time of night
----------
Cheltenham - North of Cheltenham Racecourse Round Balloon Shaped Objects
Date: June 28, 2008
Time: 10:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 4
Number of objects: 6
Shape of objects: Round like balloon shapes, with orange in them, they just
looked like lit up balloons and flimsy but moved very quickly.
Weather Conditions: Dry, windy, cloudy, some clear skies.
Description: Round like balloon shapes, looked like they had flame inside a
balloon, they were all orange, they came from the south and went north in a
sweeping formation, they were too fast for aircraft and no noise, they
followed each other and sweeped past us over Cleeve hill, my wife, daughter
and mother-in-law, thought it was some kind of joke, but it lasted about 1/2
minutes and it got more scary as they all followed each other, I can only
think the color was like looking at a hot air balloon when it fires the gas,
but they were quite small and glowing, I have never seen anything like this
nor can think of anything that it/they may have been. Does anybody have a
rationale explanation, and more importantly it was witnessed by several
members of the family.

South Fraser Way In Surrey, British Columbia UFO With Red Lights Hovering
Date: June 28, 2008
Time: 10:00 p.m.
I can't believe what I saw, me and my kids were driving alone South Fraser
Way in Surrey at 10:00pm. My daughter said Mom, what is that in the sky. When
I looked I could see a star and then right beside it and 100 times bigger and
so close to us, there was this bright object with red lights all around it
hovering above the tree line. I could believe what I saw. I pulled off to the
side of the road and we just sat there watching it for about 1 min. As we sat
there I tried to rationalize what I was looking at, I couldn't. We started
driving again, turning a corner and I had to pull over again and watch it. It
was just hovering there not moving side to side and not moving up or down just
moving in a slight hum of a circle. As we sat there for 30 seconds this time
it went from being big to shrinking to a pinpoint and then disappearing in all
of about 1 second. I can't rationalize anything from this world that it would
be. I am so blessed and so lucky and so are the three children, two of my own
that where in the car at the time. I told them that people are likely to not
believe us but if we are ever in doubt to talk to each other about what we all
saw and make sure we all remember because we may never be so lucky in life to
see it again.

Dundee Scotland Two Shiny Unknown Objects
Date: June 28, 2008
Time: Approx: 4:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Round as far as I could tell.
Weather Conditions: Bright and sunny with a few clouds.
Description: I saw two shiny objects moving in and out of clouds and following
each other. They would hover for a few seconds then move around a bit and slow
down and speed up. They changed direction frequently as well. They were not
birds, as they were moving in and out of the clouds, so they must have been
much bigger objects for me to have seen them. They could not have been
helicopters as they moved too quickly and changed direction a lot - they moved
up, down, left and right, forwards and backwards. By the time I got my
binoculars out, they had disappeared.
----------
Halesowen, West Midlands, UK Object Looked Like It Was On Fire
Date: June 28, 2008
Time: 10:24 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 5
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round.
Weather Conditions: Scattered cloud.
Description: After hearing what sounded like a low pitched, high flying jet,
we looked up to see what we originally thought to be an aircraft on fire. It
was moving in a West - East direction and seemed to be moving faster than a
commercial airliner. It moved quickly away from us without a contrail and it
appeared to remain at the same height. It appeared as a small bright light in
the far distance and then suddenly disappeared.
----------
Over Chicksands and Henlow Bedfordshire United Kingdom 8 Amber Lights
Date: June 28, 2008
Time: 10:40 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 8
Shape of objects: Oval.
Weather Conditions: Clear.
Description: We saw 8 Amber lights that appeared to be about a mile high and
approx 8 miles from our location travel from around the Chicksands area to
Henlow the lights were visible for about 10 - 15 minutes demising 1 by 1
whilst they were hovering over the Henlow area.
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:
They could be but I tried to take 2 pictures of the sighting 1 of the pictures
didn't capture anything whilst the second turned out bright orange with no
explanation as they would have been tiny from where I was.

Parkland Region, Manitoba Intense Unknown Light Engulfs Entire Area
Date: June 29, 2008
Time: 2:00 a.m.
Conditions: clear sky - No moon.
1 witness
I was at the lake for a few days. I had my father come out from
Saskatchewan for a visit there so it was set to be a enjoyable weekend of
showing the sights.
I had been sitting at the fire for most of the evening...and by 11:00 pm
everyone else had long gone to bed. I was sitting by the embers of the night's
fire by the lake. It was about 2:00 am. The sky was clear and the stars were
all very easy to see, there was no wind.
I was getting set to soon head in for the night to sleep. I was drinking a
bottled water as I stood there and looked at the dying fire. Suddenly the area
I was in, lit right up. It was a very intense bright white light and it seemed
to be focused on my surrounding area. My heart started to race very quickly as
this usually means some strange craft is above, or some very strange thing is
going on.
I began to search all around, looking in all directions for the source of the
light including upwards and all over. I could not see any source at all. The
stars were still in view for where I looked and there was no source for this
light from above or any direction. The area I was in, lit up for about 5 or 6
seconds.
As I was surrounded by this light. Everything, every leaf, every twig and
every single thing was lit up with this very bright white light. It made
everything more clear than it would be in sunlight. I could see the clarity to
all of it, like everything was very high definition. My heart was racing as I
tried to make sense of what was happening. My senses were very heightened as
the few seconds past and I was ready for whatever was to happen. Then the
light just stopped and then I was left standing in the dark with wilderness
all around me.
I stayed outside for 15 more minutes trying to make sense of what I had just
has happen. The light very much reminded me of the spotlight that had come
from the elongated diamond craft that I have encountered in the past. I do
have a video camera, but it seems that for recent events things happen far to
quickly for me to even get the camera turned on.
I will also mention, the night before (Friday night) was cloudy and light
rain, yet the clouds were all lit up. I took it as it being due to the moon. I
found out the following night there was no moon at all and for the light that
I was seeing behind the clouds. I was positive that we were in the full moon
phase. I was very confused after I realized that the moon was not in any phase
that allowed it to be seen.

Coeur d' Alene, Idaho Witnesses Also Observe Vancouver, B.C. UFO
Date: June 29, 2008
Time: Around midnight.
I just wanted to tell you, re: the Vancouver sighting. We saw it too here in
Coeur d' Alene, Idaho. We were sitting outside (it was right around midnight).
I was talking to my friend about navigation by the stars and we were looking
at a planet. I looked away and my friend said "what is that!" I looked back up
and the object was next to the planet. It was round and bright. It stayed
there for about 15 seconds then it took off leaving about a (visual) 3 inch
long trail that was as wide as the object and narrowed down to a point. I'm
glad we were not the only one's to see it! My friend has never seen anything
strange in the sky before and he is having trouble processing what he saw.
----------
Kokomo, Indiana UFO Or Aircraft ?
Date: June 29, 2008
Time: Approx: 10:10 p.m.
Last night I was going to work at about 10:10pm E.S.T. I saw these lights
hovering on the left side of the road (I was heading south). Normally I bring
my video camera with me but I didn't this time! What appeared to be a plane I
don't know. As I was traveling south it seemed just to stay there stationary
because as I was traveling south towards it, the object just stayed. I
thought this was quite odd. What makes me think that it could of been a plane
is that on the left side was a red light and on the right was a blue light
none of which were blinking! And no other lights were present. As I passed
it, the object was still stationary. So I don't know what it was, a plane or
an UFO? Just thought I would share this with you.. Thanks. This was Sunday,
June 29th, 2008.

Elworth, Sandbach, Cheshire, U.K. Fast Moving Star Like Object
Date: June 29, 2008
Time: Around midnight.
Location of Sighting: Elworth (Sandbach) Home.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round star-like.
Full Description of event/sighting: I was standing in the garden having a
cigarette with my partner, we had been intrigued by the recently reported
sightings by police helicopter and also the doctor in Wales last week. As we
stared at the stars in the night sky, they seemed dazzlingly bright, when I
noticed something catch my eye to the left. As I looked to the left, I saw (to
my amazement) what I can only describe as a flying star high in the sky
heading in the direction of Manchester. We have many airplanes flying over our
house because its a Manchester airport flight path. But planes we see are very
low and loud with red and green lights flashing on them, very noisy like
thunder almost. This object was moving very fast in comparison, and especially
as it was very high in the night sky. It never changed color, or dimmed, and
it stayed bright white and constant, it's speed about 3 times faster than any
aircraft I've seen before.

North Surrey, British Columbia Jelly Bean Shaped UFO
Date: June 30, 2008
Time: Approx: 2:10 p.m.
Hi Brian, I was sitting out on my deck enjoying the day before the sun comes
around and makes it unbearable. I noticed what appeared to be black spots
flying circles around and around a slightly larger black object shaped sort of
like a jelly bean with a hole in it. I at first just assumed they were spots
in or on my eyes and tried to control their movement by moving my eyes around
but this had no effect on them. After about twenty seconds the three smaller
objects took off east over the roof of my building and a few seconds later the
larger jelly bean object took off in a straight line north and vanished behind
the North Shore Mountains.
----------
Innisfil, Ontario Meteor Lights Up The Sky And Surroundings
Date: June 30, 2008
Time: Approx: 11:45 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Innisfil -comet or meteor traveling from sw to ne,
largest I have ever seen.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Bright ball with tail like object burning in atmosphere.
Full Description of event/sighting: A friend and I were standing on my front
deck admiring the sky. Then she said look and the hole sky lit up and so did
our surroundings. It was the largest comet or what ever we had ever seen. The
width of the tail was as wide as my thumb is tall. This was no little streak.
Both of us have be looking online and on the news from the moment we saw it
thinking how could anybody else not have seen it. Sorry, I did curse about not
having my camera on hand.

Over South Coast Of Dorset England, U.K. UFO Sightings
Date: June 30, 2008
Time: 0100 hrs
Location of Sighting: Over south Coast of Dorset England.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Flashes in night sky.
Full Description of event/sighting: Whilst star gazing on quite a few
occasions lately I have witnessed flashes similar to flash bulbs-very intense
and of similar duration to flash photography bulbs, only at heights akin to
aircraft or possibly even higher like satellites. Have noticed satellite type
"stars" which do not have a constant track. As a young boy I once saw with my
father two "star-like" objects in close formation zig zagging from north to
south. My father said they were weather balloons. At the age of 15 a school
friend and I saw in broad daylight a 2' diameter disc float from rooftop
height up to about 2000' where it disappeared in cloud .What struck us was
that if a hoax fashioned from tinfoil, why didn't it look "crinkly"? This
object was smooth and apparently originating from over the roof of what looked
to be an elderly persons' bungalow residence, an unlikely source of hoaxer
activity.
When sitting in my car having just finished a piano tuning about 12 years ago
in the afternoon during an overcast day I saw a light in the sky of about car
headlight intensity. I looked behind me in the rear window to take note of any
vehicles with lights on which may be causing reflections and there were none.
On reviewing the object it was still static as I moved my head around, whilst
still training my eyes on it, the object suddenly accelerated away to the
west, leaving a streak of light (not unlike in the credits of Star Trek!),
which faded to nothing.
My mother and I witnessed a bright red/pink spark way out over Poole Bay
shooting at incredible speed shoot from south to north (inland) then back
again from whence it came. As someone with aircraft experience (my father and
brother are/were pilots) I can honestly estimate the speed of this low flying
object at well in excess of mach 1 or two even, more like mach twenty! Hope
you can help reveal the truth even if some or all these events are down
meteorological phenomena. These events sum up most of my memorable sightings
of unknowns.

Urbandale, Iowa Eyewitnesses Directly Underneath A Huge Triangular UFO
Date: July 1, 2008
Time: 11:55 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Urbandale
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Cone, Triangle Bottom, Flashing Lights.
Full Description of event/sighting: My buddy and I were driving home and I
noticed an extremely bright light on the horizon that couldn't have been a
star. We parked and looked at this object and it seemed to have jumped back
and forth over a relatively large distance. It was getting closer to us so we
turned back on the street and went towards it. As we got what I would say was
2 blocks away we were under it. The bright light that we originally saw faded
away and we could see probably 6 or 7 lights in the shape of a triangle. The
object was really low and was HUGE. We freaked out and stopped again, and it
changed direction. We followed it as much as we could but the road ended, and
it seemed like it continued to get lower until it went under a tree-line and
past a hill. It was a UFO there is no other way it was anything else.
----------
La Chapelle Neuve, Morbihan, Bretagne, France Black Triangular UFO
Date: July 1, 2008
Time: Approx: 11:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Triangular, possibly conical. Dark grey/black.
Weather Conditions: Clear conditions, excellent visibility.
Description: During a telephone call I looked out into my garden and in the
distance I saw an unusual object in the sky. South east of my location, at a
distance of +15 miles, the object was triangular in profile, dark in colour,
no flashing lights. The craft moved slowly to the left (east)and began to
rise. The object appeared to be at a strange angle of projection. I am not a
trained aircraft spotter, but have had an interest in aviation since I was a
kid, and am up to date with current commercial and military craft..this was
neither.
My sighting was brief as i ran to get my camera and upon return it was gone.
There was however a streak (momentarily) across the sky as I looked for the
craft through my lens, like a metallic contrail. I am sure others will have
seen this event as it appears to have been very close to the city of Vannes,
and it is full of tourists at the moment. Thanks.
----------
Hodge Hill, Birmingham U.K. Frisbee Shaped UFOs
Date: July 1, 2008
Time: 8:45 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Like Frisbees, glowing on the top, dark circle area
underneath.
Weather Conditions: Raining,very cloudy, pre-storm.
Description: I had gone outside to enjoy the heavy rain this evening. Was
stood looking southwards at the sky and I saw a bright white object move
behind trees. I waited to see what it was and saw... a disc like object which
was bright white on top and with a dark circle on the underside. This object
was moving silently towards the approx East/ North East and rocking gently
from side to side.
This continued in the same direction and was followed after about a minute by
another object which was of the same appearance. They continued out of sight.
My husband and daughter came out when I called them and as we were unable to
take photos we hope that we were not the only people to have seen these.
TV/Radio: We rang both Central TV and Birmingham Evening Mail but they told us
if we didn't have photos they would not be able to report the sightings.

Bolton, Ontario Bright Orange And Red Object Drops In Altitude
Date: July 1, 2008
Time: 9:45 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Bolton (North Direction).
Number of witnesses: 10
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round.
Full Description of event/sighting: Definitely wasn't fireworks. At first we
thought it may be a plane or helicopter on fire. But it was too round. It was
bright orange and red. It quickly dropped it's altitude and then just
disappeared. Really weird. Also, 10 years ago at Finch and Weston, over the
Humber River, there was a circle of red lights in the sky that just hovered.
It stayed for about 5 minutes and then just dropped to the ground. Here there
were 3 witnesses.
----------
Blackpool, Lancashire Bright Light
Date: July 2, 2008
Time: 03:50 a.m.
Hey, I'm from Blackpool, Lancashire early this morning on the 2nd of July, I
was looking out of my window at ten to four. I saw one bright light not moving
in a solid direction it appeared to be phasing about up and down side to side
(heading in a westerly direction towards the sea), I also saw what at first
appeared to be two stars that close to the object in the sky (on a much bigger
scale, I realized that it wasn't two stars but it was 3 forming triangle, this
was spinning slowly anticlockwise, really freaked me out. later I saw flashes
in the sky in the area I had seen the light 5 mins before, there seemed to be
quite alot of activity. just wondering if anybody else saw anything. cheers.
----------
Glen Eden Auckland, New Zealand A Smokey Green Disc Shaped UFO
Date: July 2, 2008
Time: 9:00 - 10:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: none
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Circular, disc..like a ring dough nut !
Weather Conditions: Clear skies..with very few cumulus clouds.
Description: Traveling from East to West at high speed, smoky green in colour,
leaving a greenish trail about 20 times the length of the object. No sound, it
was a disc shape but could have had a hollow centre. It looked a bit like a
ring dough- nut. Not a shooting star or meteorite. I have seen plenty to know
the difference. It was about the size of a full moon, so if it was high up
then it would have been big. Anybody else see it. Sighting lasted
approximately 3 seconds.
