Kuwait A Circular Disk Shaped UFO
Date: 1988
Time: Evening.
Number of witnesses: 5
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Disk.
Weather Conditions: Normal.
Description: My brother-in-law was talking to me about something he and his
brother and 3 cousins have seen in 1988, I was shocked of what they have
described to me, they did not think it was a big deal to talk about this,
because people here will think they are crazy. While they were gathering in
the backyard of their house they noticed a circular disk shaped object flying
with a humming sound they described the sound to be like an air conditioning
unit. It was flying about 100 meters directly above their house, with a
diameter of 5 houses, which I found out to be 400 meters. It was flying very
slowly with lights all around it. They continued watching it till it was very
far to see; it did not shoot up or fly away it just kept flying at the same
altitude.

Canada
No. of witnesses: 3
Looking down the highway and up into the sky they noticed a light which
appeared to look rather odd. In the seconds as they watched, the light grew
closer to them and grew in size and brightness until it was hovering just over
highway 16 and in front of their vehicle. Lawrence had already slowed the
vehicle down due to watching the light coming so quickly in their direction.
Both men sat stunned, not to mention being frightened at what they were seeing
and weren't about to make a dash in the vehicle and try to drive underneath
the craft. The fellows had no idea of what may happen to them.
Lawrence pulled the vehicle over to the left/east side of the highway as the
event took place right at the Decker Lake rest area.
Both men sat staring at what they came to realize as a Unidentified Flying
Object. Lawrence describes the UFO as being a cigar in shape, the craft was of
a large size, approximately the size of a Greyhound Bus and had lights on it.
He described the lights to be more like florescent tubing as they were long in
length and ran down the side of the UFO. The colors of the lights were red,
yellow and green. The men said there was not a sound from the object, no
buzzing or any type of motor noise. The craft sat hovering and the lights on
the craft were so bright that they lit up the highway and surrounding area.
Both fellows still sitting in the rest area, kept an eye on the craft which
hovered over the highway for a short period of time. Then the UFO moved a
small distance ahead/east and made a "U" turn over the highway and came back
to a hovering position over the trees on the opposite side of the highway from
where the men were parked. Again the objects lights lit up the trees and
surrounding area and just sat there hovering just over the tree tops for a
couple of minutes or so and then Lawrence said the craft just shot off at a
incredible speed, like if someone shot a bullet from a gun. They were still
able to keep an eye on the object as it was well lit up and as they watched,
the UFO moved off into the distance up into the night sky. It then looked like
a small ball of light. Although the object moved towards the west, it had to
have travelled back towards the men as it was seen as a little ball and
directly over top the vehicle, but at a great altitude. The fellows kept their
eye on it, watching it blink the different colors that they reported seeing on
the craft.
Seeing that the UFO was still high in the night sky, Lawrence thought it might
be OK to continue their trek towards home. Lawrence drove out of the rest area
and onto the highway. The passenger in the car was able to look up and out of
the windows of the vehicle to keep an eye on the object. The fellows drove a
number of miles down the highway, feeling at this point all was going to be
all right and they would get home without any other incidents.
Well, it didn't take long before their worst fears were coming true. They
just arrived alongside the Burns Lake airport, still driving on highway 16
when the same object came at them and once again they were forced to stop the
car in the middle of the highway, not wanting to risk driving under the UFO.
The craft hovered just in front of their car and around tree top level with
the lights shining brightly lighting up the highway and entire area. After a
short period of time, but to the men it felt like a lifetime had passed by,
the UFO moved away in exactly the same fashion as it did with the first
encounter. The only difference was that the craft did a U turn on the left
side of the highway and sat hovering over the tree tops lighting up everything
around it. The men still parked just a little off the highway observing this,
wondering what was to come next. The craft shot off towards the west/Houston,
B.C. and the fellows watched it move into the distance at a great altitude
where it appeared to look like a small ball. As they kept an eye on the ball
of light, Lawrence started driving again along the highway. They passed Rose
Lake and they were still able to see the small ball in the sky. They passed
Duncan Lake, Six Mile Hill, Topley and eventually over these many miles they
arrived home in Houston and the ball was still visible to them.
Lawrence told me he was still able to observe the object from his home,
although it was very high up and looking the same. He thought he had enough
excitement for one night. He got cleaned up and went to his bedroom. He laid
down on his bed and the window happened to be facing in the direction he last
saw the object. Well there it was, the UFO still there.

UFO Gives A Kelowna Man The Fright Of His Life, West Of Kamloops, British
Columbia.
Harry had a large UFO incident which took place on August 31, 2008 at
approximately 1:30 a.m. when he was on a week's holiday. The man was driving
his pickup truck and pulling a trailer. All was fine on his journey as he
travelled down Highway 97 heading south from Lac La Hache.
Harry reached Savona, still heading east and on the left/north side of the
highway. All of a sudden to his right/south and coming from over top of the
mountain was a very bright light. At first he thought maybe it might be people
driving a 4x4 vehicle, but he quickly thought about it and he knew at that
point there were no dirt roads on the side of the mountain. The light was
still moving about and coming directly at him.
As the light drew closer to him he was able to see clearly that this wasn't
just one light, but three. Two lights positioned at the top and a single light
at the bottom. Basically the lights took on the shape of a triangle.
Eventually the three lights swooped down towards him and crossed over top the
Trans-Canada Highway 1 and Harry's truck, placing the object on the north side
of the highway and flying at tree top level. The craft made a turn and was now
heading in the same direction as Harry was travelling, which would be east
towards Kamloops, B.C. Harry tried to keep an eye on the object but at the
same time watching where he was driving. The craft seemed to be pacing the
truck then rose up slightly and then again swooped downward and Harry finally
lost sight of it. He said it surprised him that the object vanished as he was
sure it would appear again. Harry tried to rationalize what he had seen.
Maybe an aircraft with pontoons landing on the lake, etc. But nothing seemed
to click into place for him because it was a very unusual sight.
Not too far down the highway he spots what appears to be blue and white
flashing lights and he thought that maybe there was a police road block or an
accident. He slows the truck down preparing to come to a stop if need be, but
what he thought was an emergency vehicle on the road wasn't the case. About
500 to 600 feet off to the left hand side of the highway was a strobing light.
Harry said the flashing was intense, approximately every half second there was
another flash. It was so fast and so very bright. Also it was stationary just
off of the ground.
All of a sudden the object jumped,in other words, from a stationary position
it appeared to rise up and drop down again. If you can, picture children
playing leap frog is the best term that I can think of to use to illustrate
the UFOs movements. He said the object went from a stop, then made about a 20
foot jump into the air in a split second, it jumped again and this time it
made an estimated jump of approximately 50 to 60 feet and then it kept jumping
at greater distances. He figured the UFO was now moving around 500 feet at a
time. The object made numerous jumps and Harry wasn't sure if he was able to
hear any sound or not. He thought the UFO gave off a swooshing sound, but
again he couldn't be completely sure of this. This thing travelled along at an
incredible speed. It made a final jump which had it heading straight towards
Harry's truck. Pretty much freaking out at this point, Harry said the UFO,
with one of the last jumps, landed maybe 100 feet behind the trailer he was
pulling. This would have had the UFO hitting the asphalt/road behind him.
After this he wasn't able to see the UFO anymore.

Crawley, West Sussex, England A Saucer Shaped UFO 18 Feet Off The Ground
Date: September 3, 2008
Time: 11:40 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Saucer shape.
Weather Conditions: Part cloudy, slight breeze (was windy earlier on).
Description: Very bright flashing light, intermittent approximately 30 second
delay. Looked out of bedroom window for closer inspection and could not see
the object, however I saw a dark black shadow against tall pine trees in the
neighbors garden. It was a definite saucer shape and approximately 15-18 feet
above the ground. There are not curtains in the main expanse of my window.
I tried to ignore it (probably more from fright). I lay back down in my bed,
getting into a straight comfortable lie on my back position and went
immediately into a deep sleep. I had the most weird vivid dream, that I was
examined and felt physical pain, although I was reassured and asked to stay
calm. Still trying to work out other details in my head. Can someone contact
me to discuss other details?

A38, Ripley, Derbyshire, England Ten Balls Of Light
Date: September 20, 2008
Time: 2:00 a.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 10
Shape of objects: Round.
Weather Conditions: Fine, clear with scattered cloud, lots of moon light.
Description: As I got onto the A38 I saw over to my right several balls of
light in the sky, their arrangement and speed did not seem normal so I stopped
the car on the hard shoulder of the a38 to get a better look. I think there
were 10 of them in all heading north, they moved very slowly and glowed with a
white light that sometimes changed to orange, the light was continuous and not
flashing. Some seemed to be moving faster than others, there was no noise from
them and they did not appear to be very high in the sky or distant but I know
this can be hard to judge. If you can imagine the way in which powered hang
gliders move in the sky you would get an idea of their motion, some seemed to
drift sideward whilst others hardly seemed to move at all, there was no
pattern or organization and all seemed to be roughly on the same heading. I
cannot think what they were, maybe small balloons containing lights that some
prankster released?

Greenwich, Sydney, New South Wales Three Unknown Objects
Date: September 22, 2008
Time: 05:10
Location: Greenwich Sydney. Sighting was over North Sydney horizon heading
west over North Shore area.
Number of objects: 3
Shape of objects: 2 bright dots and 1 smaller bright dot.
Weather Conditions: Clear skies.
Description: I was sitting on the balcony eating breakfast before work and
these 3 objects appeared. The first 2 were approx 200 yards or so apart, 1
following the other, extremely bright green so bright they offered no shape,
just a dot. Approx 800 yards behind, a third dot appeared, not as bright and
white but still only a dot. All 3 objects were travelling at the same speed,
very fast, I imagine the speed of a fighter jet but there was absolutely no
sound. I followed
them along the horizon heading east to west until the 3 shapes climbed 45
degrees or so from horizontal and at that point I lost sight of them.
I'm not a supporter or believer in UFO's and have no desire to make an issue
out of this. But I know what I saw and thought it should go on record. I have
tried to justify it against anything we know of on earth that can move at that
speed, with no sound and instantly change direction of travel but at least I
am not aware of anything out there that can do this. I'm reporting it now
because I wanted to see if anyone else was going to post a sighting before me.

Kendal, Cumbria UK Witnesses Describe A Cylinder Shaped Object With Tail
Date: September 22, 2008
Time: 9:50 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Above Hallgarth Estate.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Circle with tail like a comet but much brighter.
Full Description of event/sighting: I was sitting watching TV when I saw a
light through the patio door which caught my attention. It lit up the back
garden and it's reflection shone on the houses opposite me and lit up the
trampoline in the back garden. I glimpsed left and up and caught an extremely
bright cylinder shaped object with a tail like a comet following it. It was
only about 200 metres above the houses and it was travelling faster than
anything I have ever seen before and was accelerating, but it was so quick and
for such a mili second, that by the time I stood up and ran outside hoping to
catch the back of it flying off, it was gone and the sky was completely
silent.
It was so quick and silent that I thought it was my imagination. If not for my
step-son coming in about 10 seconds later as he was outside while the UFO
passed and described the exact same event that I had just seen. He said that
he watched it for about ten seconds and it was skipping across the sky line,
quite slowly and even had time to get out his mobile phone to film it, but
when he pointed his camera at it, the UFO shoots off and he ducked down behind
the houses out of view. For him this is what brought it into my viewing. It
was a completely clear night last night without a cloud in sight and every
star in the sky was visible, therefore it could not have been anything else.
My son, before coming in even called one of his friends and said I have just
seen a "shooting star" right above the houses?

Exeter Township, Reading, Pennsylvania A Copper Colored Object Hovering
Date: October 7, 2008
Time: 6:15 - 6:45 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Exeter Township.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Rounded triangle, possible cigar shape.
Full Description of event/sighting: I had left a department store and looked
up above the store at the very beautiful sunset. In the distance is a highway
and a set of trees. My jaw dropped as I saw a copper colored object hovering
ever so slowly. Was it a balloon? No. A blimp. Too flat. A jet plane or
helicopter could never hover that slow. It had a protrusion under the front,
triangular yet rounded fuselage. It had zero means of propulsion showing, no
intakes, propellers or anything. There it was, hovering and then it moved ever
so slowly. Directed intelligently. Down a bit, then up a bit heading east. A
women got into a mini van and I said to her, as I stood next to my car. Do you
see what I do? She said yes, with a shocked expression. She watched for a
while then seemingly disturbed drove away. I watched the object go behind
trees, then out it dipped a bit, always slow. Then went behind a dense part of
the trees. It was a UFO, in the classical sense, quite, triangular and
hovering. A deep copper color, but it could of been silver reflecting the
golden sunset. I have heard zero news about this amazing sight. It does
somewhat parallel the above recent Maryland sighting in shape of the object
and time. Sunset. I can see it still and carry the picture of it's slow,
deliberate hanging course in my mind the rest of my life. P.S. A small private
plane flew over it at about 1000 feet up and to the objects southwest, going
east.

UFO A Oddly Shaped Craft Over Miami, Florida
Date: October 11, 2008
Time: Approx: 11:45 p.m.
I was searching through the internet for a possible explanation for what I
just witnessed about 20 minutes ago tonight and came across your article with
your email. First off my name is (name removed) and I live in Miami, FL. I am
currently a student pilot training at Tamiami Airport with Miami Dade College.
I thought that perhaps you would like to know about what I just witnessed.
Well I was driving home from a friends house. My home is located behind the
airport where I train. So I was headed home with a clear view of the airfield
along side the long road. I was wondering if there were any small aircraft
coming in to land around that time which was approximately 11:45pm. So I
looked up in the sky while driving to see if I could spot any airplanes or any
landing lights and as I did so, I happened to see what looked like the
silhouette of an aircraft in the sky. I followed it for a moment and noticed
that it was oddly shaped and that it had no lights on. I was telling myself
how dangerous that was and that there was no way possible that the pilot
operating that aircraft would turn his lights off, much less flying over the
airfield.
I kept watching and noticed that this oddly shaped craft was actually
camouflaging itself with the night sky, as if it were in some stealth mode.
All I could make out were the edges and how it was shaped in some what of an
odd round figure. It was travelling quite fast and as a student pilot, I know
for a fact that half the aircraft I see go in and out of that small airport
can't possibility travel as fast as this was. It just seemed to glide right
over the back end of the runway right across my windshield. I kept my eye on
it until it passed the support beam on my car to where I needed to look out
the side window. Well there were water droplets on the side window.
So I decided to quickly roll it down so I could have a better look and as I
did and looked for it, it just seemed to have disappeared! Completely. I was
taken aback by this and some what shocked trying to figure out what I had just
seen and I examined my windshield further to see if there were any possible
smudges or water droplets that could of deceived my vision. My windshield was
spotless and with the minor smudges I examined. I tried to recreate and see if
it looked the same to my eye by viewing it toward the sky and nothing seemed
to resemble what I saw. I am some what of a skeptic with the whole UFO thing
and I've seen and heard many reports on TV shows and articles. But never in my
life would I have thought that I would see what I just saw. Oh and as for the
weather.
The sky was very clear with a few clouds dotted around the area. None of which
resembled the craft I witnessed cross the airport. As a student pilot, I can
identify what is and isn't an aircraft and I assure you that what I saw was
very real. I tried to see if any one around me saw the same but no one seemed
to of paid any attention. I wanted to contact the airports Air Traffic Tower
and see if they had picked anything up in their radar, but the tower closes at
9 at this airport. So I don't really know what to do or say other than tell
you what I saw. Perhaps you can give me an explanation as to what I could of
been seeing. I thought at first that it could of been a bird or a bat. But
that was quickly dismissed as I kept my eye on it.

Kangaroo Ground Victoria, Australia Oval Shaped Green Streaking Object
Date: October 12, 2008
Time: 5.25 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Kangaroo Ground, VIC
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Oval with comet tail.
Full Description of event/sighting: We were returning home from a cancelled
early morning balloon flight in the Yarra Valley. The sighting took place as
we progressed towards Eltham on the road passing through Kangaroo Ground.
Conditions were perfectly clear skies (although windy), in a rural 80 km/h
area, with no street lighting. My wife and I were driving within the speed
limit and were both suddenly aware of a beautiful oval shaped, transparent
green streak of light that was travelling at high speed in a diagonal
trajectory towards the fields next to our car (on the driver side).
The shape was briefly identified (about 10-20 seconds) as an oval of about 3
feet (1 metre) in length, coated in a soft green shroud of swirling gases and
light, with a long thin tracer tail of vapour (similar to a comet). It was
hard to see if the object was a rock/meteorite, foreign craft or a piece of
\'space rubbish\' burning up as it headed to earth. The object was barely
metres from our vehicle (a black family sedan car). There were no vehicle in
my rear view mirror or in front of us at the time of the sighting.
There was no opportunity to pursue the object as no safe area to stop and
change our course/observe the event further. We did not witness any further
lights or see/hear any explosion on impact etc.
