Vallejo, California Tiny Blue Object Coming Out Of Large UFO
Date: Summer 1965/1966
Time: Evening.
Location of Sighting: Vallejo, California.
Number of witnesses: Several.
Number of objects: Many.
Shape of objects: Round.
Full Description of event/sighting: Summer of 65 or 66, a friend and I were
laying on his front lawn checking out the babes, stars and talking young man
stuff, when this huge (bigger than moon) orange/red object showed up in the
sky and tiny blue lights were darting into and out of this globe. It was warm,
early evening and many of his neighbors were outside at the time and everyone
on the block was looking up at this thing. A cop saw the commotion on the
cul-de-sac and pulled his car in and when he asked what was going on,
everybody pointed up into the nights sky. The cop freaked, got on his radio
and called the station. They told him to get everyone off the street, which he
did. I would have thought that everyone in the city of Vallejo must have this
event but as far as I can remember, it didn't make the paper.
As far as size, I couldn't say. It looked like it was way up and the tiny
blue lights that were zipping in and out of it reminded me of small craft,
because it wasn't straight line flight. They were making sharp turns, gradual
turns and some stopped and changed direction. The blue lights were traveling
very fast and like I said, were very tiny to the eye, which is why I thought
the craft was way up.

North Sooke Vancouver Island, British Columbia Elongated Metal UFO
Date: July 1984
Time: Early evening.
Location of Sighting: Open gravel area, 8 miles north Sooke Vancouver Island.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Elongated, round edges, very large, humming, covered with
lights.
Full Description of event/sighting: Around dusk I discovered a low humming
coming from behind us, we lived next to forest reserve. We came along a back
fire road up to a gravel pit around 10 minutes walk and climbed the closest
hill with shrubbery. The sound was much louder and what we saw I'll never
forget. A large structure, metal and bright lights was on stilts off the
ground maybe 4-6 ft. What really struck me was there were no people at all or
any common vehicles around, no cars or trucks. I was totally amazed at the
whole thing when as sudden as could, a light moved and shone on us which
freaked us both up and we both ran home in a panic. The next day we went to
check out this site and even though I was leaving footprints, they were no
signs of the previous nights strange happenings, no marks from last night in
the soft ground, no tire marks coming in and out. Never did get any answers
about this, one old neighbor said the army practices maneuvers up there
sometimes?

Date: November 2007
Time: 10:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Residence.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 4 or 5
Shape of objects: Circle.
Full Description of event/sighting: One night in November of 2007 at approx.
10:30 pm I was sitting on my back patio enjoying the cool weather. I happened
to look up toward the wooded area behind my house and I noticed 4 or 5 huge
orange lights above some trees that are about 200 yards from my house. From
what I can tell the lights was approx. 2 -3 feet in diameter and about 4 to 5
feet apart from one another in a straight line. The lights did not illuminate
the trees or the ground. Where I live is very rural and very quite. I listened
for some type of sound and heard nothing. I stood up and walked to the end of
my patio to see if I could get a closer look and the lights disappeared as if
what it was observed me. It frighten me because I have never seen anything
like it before.
The very next day I told my sister about the lights. She lives next door to
me. About a week later she called me and told me that she had also seen the
lights. She told me that she got off work late one night and decided to go
outside to smoke. She stated to me that she looked toward the trees beside my
house and saw 3 bright orange lights hovering above the trees in an inverted
triangle shape. She also stated that she listened for some type of engine
noise or something but heard nothing. She stated that when she attempted to
get a closer look they disappeared. She was also frightened to the point that
she went in her house.

Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England Three Spherical Object
Date: July 31, 2008
Time: 10:15 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 3
Shape of objects: Spherical.
Weather Conditions: Heavy downpours during the day, but dry at night.
Description: It was around 10.15 pm and I saw what looked at first to be an
aircraft travelling in a northerly direction with its lights on. What made me
notice it more was that it was a brighter colour than a normal aircraft. It
appeared to hover for a while and this is when the colour got brighter. Then
behind it there appeared two more lights, exactly the same as the first. These
were moving at the same speed and side by side. It was as if the first light
had slowed down somewhat, waiting for the other two to catch up. They seemed
to hover for a while and then move a little way, then they travelled off at
the same speed as a helicopter in a more north westerly direction. The first
one leading the way, with the other two following behind.
There was no sound, and I have watched the UFO balloon clip. These were
certainly not balloons. They could not have moved as they did. I have never
seen a balloon stop and start and then move off into the distance at that
speed.

Description: Looked like a star travelling across the sky, got brighter and
brighter for a couple of seconds then disappeared as if leaving the
atmosphere. I have also seen this in reverse a few months ago with a witness.
We were looking into a clear sky and thought we was looking at a star when it
became very bright for a few seconds. It went back to it's original
brightness, then travelled across the sky which we followed for 90 seconds or
so before light pollution stopped us from watching it any further

----------
Cardiff, Glamorgan, Wales Object Looked Like It Was On Fire
Date: August 2, 2008
Time: 9:35 p.m.
Number of objects: 1
We saw what we first thought was a hot air balloon on fire in the skies just
east of RAF St Athan and Cardiff Wales Int Airport over Wenvoe, as we watched
it, it looked like something on fire and was fairly motionless, our initial
thought was that it was a hot air balloon flaring up or on fire. The object
then started moving at a fairly fast pace (like an aeroplanes speed) from West
to east over Cardiff. As we watched it we discussed what it could be. It
wasn't a
balloon as it was moving to fast, and was traveling along a horizontal plane.
We thought it couldn't be a plane or something on fire as it wasn't losing any
height . We watched the object for about 5 minutes as it disappeared into
cloud to the east. All the time it flared bright orange, like it was on fire,
and kept a constant speed(about that of a commercial airliner)and trajectory
until it disappeared into cloud cover.
We discussed what we had seen during the evening and checked on the internet
when we returned home to see if any planes had been reported crashed.
On googling "fireball Cardiff" we were astounded to find reports of the South
Wales Police reporting a similar incidence a month earlier.
This matter was reported to South Wales Police in August 2nd 2008.

Beltinge, Kent, England A Bright Orange Glow
Date: August 2, 2008
Time: 11:30 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 8
Number of objects: 1
Hi, at about 11:30pm last night a bright orange glow could be seen moving
north to south (roughly) we were looking from our back garden towards the
East, we live in Beltinge near Herne Bay, there were 8 of us who all witnessed
this and none of us could work out what it was. It seemed to travel slower
than a normal aircraft and there were no other lights that you would expect on
an aircraft and also no noise at all.
----------
Hull, East Yorkshire, England A Star Like Ball
Date: August 2, 2008
Time: 11:20 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Star like ball.
Weather Conditions: Clear.
Description: Hello, on Saturday night me and my dad were stargazing with our
telescope when all of a sudden a very bright ball appeared out of nowhere in
the sky, traveling northwards, it got very bright then started to dim down and
seemed to disappear all together, at first we though it was a helicopter or a
plane but there was no sound at all and then it began to brighten and dim.
I thought we were the only ones to have seen it but I came on here and I found
that some one else has seen something extremely similar and in the same place
as us, about a week or two earlier, so I though it would be a good idea to
report it.

Collingdale, PA United States A Green/Blue Colored Sphere
Posted: August 23, 2008
Date: August 3, 2008
Time: Approx: 10:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Sphere.
Weather Conditions: Dry, non-cloudy, slight breeze, many stars visible.
Description: It was very dark out. My son, his friend and myself were sitting
out back of my house. From nowhere appeared a round object. It was glowing
blue-greenish, more blue. It was about 15 yards from us and about 65 feet in
the air. It moved slowly across the sky. As it moved to the other side of a
row of homes behind us, it went out of site. A few seconds after losing site
of it we saw a bright light flash, the same color as the sphere. There was no
sound
at all. It was very quiet. No one was out except us. None of us can come up
with anything that this could have been. I'm hoping you may have some ideas.
It really was a fantastic sight!

Brooklyn, New York Ball Shaped Object With Flaming Tail
Date: First week in August 2008.
Time: 10:15 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Brooklyn, New York along Nostrand Ave, and Avenue Y.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Ball.
Full Description of event/sighting: A few weeks ago I was standing out side
(Brooklyn, N.Y.) around 10:00 pm and when I looked in the sky I saw a large
white ball of light with a flamed tail following it. It went through the sky
slowly, not very fast at all. You can tell it was pretty close and it almost
looked like it was going to land somewhere. Now I don't know exactly what it
was that I saw. Do you know if there were any activities of this sort with in
the past few weeks? I have already asked around to see if it were possibly a
comet or meteor, but so far everyone says there has not been any activity of
that sort recently

Calgary And Edmonton, Alberta Various Sightings
Date: July 5th, 2008 - August 4, 2008
Time: 10:00 p.m. -12:00 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Calgary and Edmonton Alberta.
Number of witnesses: 1-2
Number of objects: 1-2
Shape of objects: Various.
Full Description of event/sighting: Over 20 sightings, some of which I have
posted videos of on YouTube under the profile Scieptic. Information related
to the sightings (date, time, direction of travel and location) are on the
videos. I will refrain from providing descriptions of what I saw as the
videos pretty much sum it up. Descriptions I will post are of sightings that
I did not tape. In one particular sighting, an object that was gold in color
(as if a gold filter was placed in front of a camera flash- same color as gold
UFO in UFO Surprise video) travelled from west to east directly over top of
my home. I estimate that it travelled approximately 100- 200m above me, was
silent at that distance, made no silhouette, and looked the same from front to
back. Further, the light did not flicker as the headlights of an airplane
often appear to.
Several of the other events I witnessed were of the lights (orbs if one
prefers) appearing from apparently out of nowhere, brightening, and then
fading out. I was able to view the objects both with 8X binoculars as well as
a 22x spotting scope. The Bluish UFO video was captured with a digital camera
attached to the 22x spotting scope. The bluish hue appears to be an artifact
of the optics/ccd. Despite the fact that I could see the fuselage's of
airplanes later into the night, I did not observe any structure that the
lights (orbs) were attached to. Sightings of similar objects were made by
someone in Lloydminster with the profile Orbspirit.

Victoria, Vancouver Island British Columbia A Large Silver/Gray Object
Date: August 10, 2008
Time: 3:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Victoria, B.C.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round.
Full Description of event/sighting: Like many of the people I spend time
looking at the sky. I too have seen the blimps, weather balloons, flares,
fireworks, kites, and lanterns. I also enjoy the couple of very bright stars
that flash red, blue, yellow and silver. The winter one is particularly
lovely. I watch for the exceptionally bright satellite that appears to be very
low in the sky that crosses between 10:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. most nights. I
see the fast high flying jets that show only a strobe light as they dart past.
I've also seen a few things that can't be explained as easily. One happened
about a week ago when my husband glanced out the window and said "What is
that?" So of course I looked. It was a large silver/gray perfectly round
object moving very rapidly from the south (Oak Bay area). The speed did not
vary and appeared to be slightly faster than the small sea planes that go
along that route. The part facing the sun was a dull silver and the rest
appeared light gray. I had the impression that it had a few dark lines or
some sort of pattern on it as well.
We live near the water and it appeared to be just off shore over the Haro
Strait. I'm not sure of the height but it was well above the trees between us
and the water. Not knowing what it was made it difficult to determine if it
was small object close by or a large object far away. We wondered if it was
some sort of balloon only because there were no obvious signs of locomotion
but it was moving in a very direct line, not the way a balloon would wander in
the wind. In fact there was no wind at all at tree level but I acknowledge
that there could have been a steady wind at a higher altitude. There was no
way to know. The sky was cloudless. We watched it for probably less than a
minute before it disappeared to the north behind some trees, towards the town
of Sidney

Southern Alberta Unknown UFO Explodes And Debris Cloud Swirl Around
Date: August 10, 2008
Time: Approx: 9:00 p.m.
I would like to report a recent unidentified sighting here in Southern Alberta
on August 10, 2008. It was around 9:00 p.m. in the evening. While outside, I
noticed a huge white light in the sky coming out of the North over my house.
I tried to identify it with my celestron skywatcher 12 x 60 binoculars as well
as my digital camera, to no avail. The object appeared round and bright.
After a couple of minutes I called my husband out. He took out our Skywatcher
telescope. We observed a huge object moving silently and slowly. It appeared
bright with what looked like a bar through the centre of it. It also appeared
to be darker on the top than the bottom. The strange thing was, while my
husband was watching the object, it exploded and became invisible to the naked
eye.
Had we not been viewing through the telescope it would have appeared like it
vanished. We took turns watching the debris cloud swirl around in close
movements that resembled a shiny school of fish swimming in unison spinning
slowly around in the air. It was amazing. There is one picture I took
through the telescope lens with my camera showing the debris cloud somewhat.
My husband wondered if it wasn't a weather balloon, but it seemed to me to be
too large for that. I stress that it was huge and silent and bright.
As I am writing this, I want to report another sighting I had for the record.
When I was a child (12 or 13 perhaps), I saw an orange orb, resting on the
ground across the street in a field from where I lived - we used to play
soccer there. I have tried to pinpoint the date, but the closest I can come
to that is it would have been 1978 or 79 and it was in the summer time. It
was a huge orange orb, resting on the ground and it pulsated on and off. I
did not tell anyone about it, though I don't know why. I was not afraid
looking at it. My memories are standing at my window watching it. I don't
remember going to the window or why I looked out, but It was incredible
anyway. This sighting took place in Alberta as well, just in a small town
outside of Edmonton. I have done research over the years to see if anything
had been reported in that area for that timeframe but have found nothing.

Mississauga, Ontario Two Unknown Objects
Date: August 17, 2008
Time: 9:50 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Mississauga Ontario (Dixie Rd & Dundas Street East).
Number of witnesses: 7
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Round like a fire ball.
Full Description of event/sighting: Sitting on porch talking with friends and
happen to look up to look at the night sky and there they were. We thought it
was 2 fire balls, reddish/yellowish in color like a fire. We were not drinking
so I know we saw them. They came from the N/W and left to the S/E. They came
from the N/W and very slowly went across the night sky. We knew they were not
an aircraft of any sort as there were no other lights and there was not a
sound to be heard. The lights of this UFO were not side by side, they were
one in front of the other but on an angle. Once we spotted them they came in
slow and then left quick. They were down lower then 1000 feet above the house.
It was really amazing. We are only guessing it was a UFO but come on what
could it be.

Vernon, British Columbia Three Glowing Objects (Photos)
Date: August 21, 2008
Time: Approx: 10:00 a.m.
Yet again this morning around 10:00 a.m., while walking my dog, I saw three
glowing white orbs floating across a black cloud and grabbed my digital camera
from my pocket, (Never leave home without it anymore), and I snapped a
picture, and the I stood there shocked and watched them float away. It was
amazing. They seemed to be about the size of a baseball, but could have been
higher up, and larger.
When I got home, I zoomed in and circled the orbs, but the picture wasn't good
enough in my opinion to send to you, so I didn't immediately.
Before I left for work a couple hours later, I felt to look at the picture
again and noticed two more orbs in the right top corner of the picture, so I
zoomed in, and saw that they weren't orbs at all, but two clearly defined
cylinders side by side, and the tips were glowing. The three white orbs
traveling together were the reason I took the picture to begin with, and to
make clear, I hadn't even noticed the cylinders until I got home, and took a
second look at the picture.
----------
Killbear Provincial Park, Parry Sound, Ontario Large Round Orange Object
Date: August 21, 2008
Time: Approx: 10:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Killbear Provincial Park, Parry Sound, Ontario.
Number of witnesses: 8
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round orange orb.
Full Description of event/sighting: Very bright and large round orange orb
travelled in a straight line very low in the sky for approximately 20 seconds.
Travelled north east at a speed that was slow compared to any shooting star;
it was in the sky visible for approximately 20 seconds.
----------
Livingston, Montana Strange Object Caught On Film
Date: August 21, 2008
Time: Approx: 7:45 p.m.
I was out late on the evening of August 21, 2008 after a storm taking photos.
It was approximately 7:45pm in the evening and there was still a heavy
overcast. It was fairly dark and I was taking the last photos I would be able
to take for that day. I was going through the photos and noticed something
that didn't belong in one of the photos. I have included the original photo
that shows the object above the phone lines to the right of center. I cropped
it tight on the object you see in the second photo. This photo was taken in
Livingston, Montana. I had an expert do some work on the photo and she said
see could get a little more detail out of the image. She said it has small
windows around the top and bans around the craft with a large band at the
center which can be seen. This same person and her daughters had seen a UFO in
Virginia 2 days before which would have been the 19th
