Editor: May I take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy Christmas and a
prosperous New Year.
Sorry Once again, my News letter 221 seems to have had another Technical hitch
and the text content went missing. here it is in the new letter.
I have cut out many reports that were submitted, as I have assumed they are
reports of Meteor showers that are prevalent at this time of year.
Thanks for the disscusion group bulls that are starting to appear.

M6, North Of Lichfield Towards Manchester, England Objects Just Off The Ground
Date: September 1983
Time: Early evening (dark)
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Round
Weather Conditions: Clear sky, calm.
Description: I was driving a minibus, North to Manchester. I was entertaining
myself with singing, pretending to be a DJ. I was aware of the stars. When I
said out loud! Patrick Moore would have something to say about this. I was
already looking at what looked like two stars in the sky straight ahead
possibly a few hundred metres above the ground, and maybe a mile or less
ahead. But bright enough for them to look like stars. I looked at the
windscreen moving
my position to see if this was some kind of reflection. It was not this, when
at very high speed they changed positions by making a half circle. So the one
on the left moved over while the one on the right moved under to form in a
sense a half circle.
A few second later they did the same again completing a full circle. They then
slowly drifted apart. One going to the left and the other going to the right.
Again I checked to see if this was some kind of light reflection. It was not.
The effect on my brain was one of astonishment at the speed. From standing
still to maximum acceleration in what must have been a hundredth or more of a
second, the half circle being complete in what seemed the same time. I thought
then as I do now that it was a demonstration for my eyes and maybe other
witnesses in the vicinity.

UFO Seen From 402 Highway Just Past Kerwood, Ontario
Date: November 18, 1998
Time: 7:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: 402 highway just past Kerwood, Ontario.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Disk.
Full Description of event/sighting: As a courier, I drive back and forth from
Sarnia to London, Ontario. I was heading back from London to Sarnia when in my
rear view mirror a glowing disk was right behind me right over the 402. Since
I had an abduction in 1967 on vacation, fear gripped me as the disk banked
over the car. The car soon died and I keep trying to get the car going, but
nothing happened. What was weird, was no cars where around and the snow was
coming down very heavy. Then there was a flash of light and I found myself
slumped over the steering wheel when I came to. The disk was now gone and I
felt a little sick to my stomach at the time, but I was ok. I was shocked when
I returned home, I was 3 hours 12 minutes late getting home. The drive from
London to Sarnia takes only 1hr 20 minutes. The time I normally get home is
8:30 pm that night, it was 11:42 when I arrived home.

Boyd, Wisconsin A Huge Triangle UFO
Date: Fall 2004/2005
Time: Evening.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Large triangle with lights on each corner.
Weather Conditions: Clear star-filled sky.
Description: This large craft was slowly moving silently. I pulled the car
over and turned it off to listen for an engine noise. There wasn't any. I
could tell it was a large triangle because it blocked out the stars as it
passed almost overhead. It went south slowly then suddenly up out to space.
Several days later my husband saw the same strange silent triangle.

Hennopspark Gauteng, South Africa Couple Watch UFO
Date: June 10, 2008
Time: 10:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Centurion at home.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Unsure.
Full Description of event/sighting: My wife called me outside when she spotted
the UFO. It came over our home at Centurion flying from east to west, it was
about airplane height (commercial). I have never seen an airplane flying this
direction as we have certain air traffic routes over our home. It had an
orange flashing light as well as yellow/white ones (there seemed to be about 3
lights flashing) but the orange was especially bright, once again distracting
from the airplane idea. I thought actually at first it may be a firework or
fire signal, but it kept on going like an airplane. It slowly went over our
home and continued above some thin cloud cover. It was visible through the
cloud cover. Some ways over our home it suddenly seemed to stand still for a
long while, probably a minute or two. I then realized it was actually getting
smaller, thus it was actually moving upwards at an incline. It then started
moving round to the north all the while slowly climbing until it looked like a
flashing star, after what was probably 10-15 minutes it finally disappeared
from sight.

Helston Cornwall, UK Lights Appeared To Be Joined Together
Date: October 26, 2008
Time: 8:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Helston Looking NNW.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: -
Full Description of event/sighting: Looking NNW I could see what first
appeared to be a bright star with a single light. After a while I noticed the
light changing colour, this caught my attention. I took a reference from a
constellation of stars, I knew it couldn't be a object on the ground or on the
hillside in the distance. I then went to get my binoculars to take a closer
look. Five minutes had past, I noticed the light had not moved relative to the
constellation. When I looked through the binoculars I noticed there were three
separate white lights joined horizontally, each light distinctive in
brightness. The lights seemed to emit a brighter light from its center at
irregular intervals changing colour. I observed the lights for 3-4 minutes
longer before it disappeared.

Hixson, Chattanooga, Tennessee Fleet Of Red Glowing Orbs
Date: November 3, 2008
Time: 1:50 a.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 5-6 in formation, 2 following far behind
Shape of objects: Spherical.
Weather Conditions: Clear starry sky.
Description: I was exiting the car to go inside when I saw what appeared to be
a fleet-like formation of red glowing orbs equidistant apart taking up about
one fourth of the sky. I watched in disbelief for about 2 minutes as they
slowly hovered over head making absolutely no noise at all. They were then
followed by two amber pulsing lights in the distance and had multiple streaks
of light appearing to be shooting stars around them occur a few times.
This thing was huge, there is no way I could have been the only witness.

Two Bright Orange Objects Over Kentucky
Date: November 5, 2008
Time: Approx: 6:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number 0f objects: 2
Just wondering if anyone had reported seeing anything in Kentucky Nov. 5th
2008 app. 6:00 pm. The two objects were bright orange. At first they were
close together. Next one of the orange objects descended slowly to earth,
while the other stayed stationary. Four fighter jets (that looked to be coming
from the Air National Guard in Louisville) showed up minutes after the lights
appeared. After the one orange light descended the other light stopped
glowing, but remained app. 5-8 minutes then it just disappeared. The fighter
jets cruised through a couple more times then turned back toward Louisville. I
have never seen anything like it before.
----------
Ninilchik Alaska A Cylinder Shaped UFO
Date: November 5, 2008
Time: 7:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 1-2
Shape of objects: Cylinder, Martini glass shape.
Weather Conditions: mostly clear some clouds.
Description: A friend called to ask if I could see this object and I looked
without my glasses and could see flashing red and green lights at a distance.
Putting my glasses on it was very clear and moved slightly both to the right
and left, over the period of an hour it moved to the North several degrees and
became lower on the horizon.
I called a friend with a telescope, he saw the object and had several others
observe. They all said they had never seen anything like it. It was above the
horizon on the West side of Cook Inlet between Redout and Illiamna Volcanoes.
It is still out there an hour later...we all want to know what we are looking
at.
----------
Lewisville, Texas A Shiny Cigar Shaped UFO
Date: November 8, 2008
Time: 12:30 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Cigar-shaped.
Weather Conditions: Sunny high 60's.
Description: Just happened to look up in the sky watching a plane take off and
noticed a shiny cigar-shaped object in the sky close to the plane. The object
remained still for a few seconds then disappeared. I am very skeptical of
reports of UFOs, but what I saw today was very unusual.
----------
Aveley In Essex, UK A Glowing Object
Date: November 15, 2008
Time: Evening.
I have just been to a friends house in Aveley in Essex, UK, and she told me
not to laugh at her but she thought that she had seen an UFO. Obviously we
thought she was joking until she showed me the photo of it that she had taken
on her mobile telephone. She witnessed this object on 15th November 2008,
just 3 weeks ago. She was watching TV at home when out of the corner of her
eye, she caught sight of something glowing in the sky. She thought it was an
aeroplane but decided to look more closely and realized that there were no
flashing lights on it and that it looked like a big ball of orange flame. She
said that it looked about the same height as a plane would fly. She said it
was moving across the sky from east to west. She went into the garden and
called her husband out to witness it. He could not explain it either. It is
worth noting that Aveley is approx about ten miles from Loughton. I said I
would try and find out any info for her and see if anyone else saw this thing
and that's when I came across the numerous reports from Loughton.
----------
Paisley Near Elderslie, UK Glowing Orange Lights
Date: November 15, 2008
Time: 10:20 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Paisley (near Elderslie).
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Orange glow.
Full Description of event/sighting: Whilst enjoying a cigarette outside a
local pub near the Paisley Abbey, I noticed a small orange light travelling in
a southern direction. In my estimation, the object was flying between 1 and 3
thousand feet and was travelling about the same speed a helicopter would. The
object didn't change direction or height but travelled slowly in the same
direction. At the time I thought that it must have been a helicopter but
rather than typical aircraft lights it was a hazy orange glow which was
strange. I almost forgot about until in amazement a second object appeared
around 4 minutes later travelling at the same height and direction just as the
first one disappeared into the distance. As a non believer, I must admit I
found this very strange, but decided there must be some explanation. Then I
read the local newspaper and noticed a similar sighting in Elderslie (around 4
miles away).
----------
Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada Light Moves Erratically
November 17, 2008
Time: 5:00 - 5:30 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round bright light.
Weather Conditions: Mostly clear, some cloud patches.
Description: My daughter called me to say she was watching a light that got
brighter on and off above what looked like Mt. Baker from her patio on the 5th
floor facing south east. She said the light got extremely bright and was
making erratic very fast movements and then it would come to a complete stop
and shoot straight up until it couldn't be seen again. As we were discussing
it she said here it comes again and it looked like it was following the Fraser
river on a zig zag motion and then came to another abrupt stop. From there she
said it disappeared into the darkness.
Being only about three blocks from her apartment, I went outside to see if I
could see anything but I'm much lower than her apartment and could see
nothing. We laughed and said she should call the radio station but she was
reluctant so we did nothing. Later that evening a news flash came that there
was an article on tomorrows news about UFO sightings in BC and my husband and
I looked at each other in disbelief. Maybe she really was seeing something. We
will have to talk with her to get the exact details as I am reporting from
what I remember over the phone conversation as it was happening. I will ask
her to draw what she saw. So when I watched the news the next day I was
disappointed to find out that I could not contact anyone regarding her
sighting.

Hamilton, Ontario Bright Yellow Pulsating Rods
Date: November 20th/21, 2008
Time: 12:30 a.m. - 1:00 a.m.
Number of witnesses: 1+
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Bright yellow pulsating rods.
Weather Conditions: Clear skies.
Description: In the sky, which was very clear, above my neighborhood to the
right of the horizon were two bright vertical skinny rods of light, pulsating
in orange/yellow colour, parallel to each other, but not sure how far apart
they were exactly. It was not an Aurora Borealis or anything like that, for
example the air traffic flood lights. One of the rods, on the left, was clear
throughout but the second one on the right side would appear/disappear
intermittently.
I couldn't take my eyes off of them and tried to look at them as long as
possible. After about 20 or so minutes, both of the rods disappeared. I then
looked to the left of the horizon from my balcony and there was a strong white
cluster of lights beaming in stillness through one of the small clouds and
emanating what I thought were multiple white rods. I could distinguish the
light from the small amount of clouds because they were brighter. I could then
faintly see one brighter rod emanating from the cluster of white lights.

Victory Park, Johannesburg, Gauteng UFOs (Video Footage)
Date: November 22, 2008
Time: Approx: 10:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: Initially 7 then 2
Shape of objects: Circular.
Weather Conditions: Clear with scattered clouds.
Description: Hi There, Got home from watching the Rugby at about 9.50pm. I
took my wife and 9 month old baby upstairs to put him in bed. My wife then lay
on our bed as our little one didn't want to go down to sleep.
So I decided to go and fetch all our bags out of our car. We have a really
awesome view from our place as it overlooks Johannesburg. As I went outside
something caught my attention and I looked into the sky and there were 7
circular disc shaped objects scattered but pretty close to one another. I have
never seen anything like that in my life. Their colours ranged from intense
red to orange.
I quickly ran inside to call my wife to have a look as I didn't want to
believe what I was seeing. When we came outside the objects had vanished but
there was still one in the sky. My wife was amazed. At that point we noticed
another one of these objects rising in the distance. At that point I ran
inside to get my camera to take some film. I managed to get about 40 seconds
of footage before they disappeared.
Additional information:
Please see the attachment for the clip. I'm sorry about the quality but it was
10pm in the eve and the objects were quite a distance away. There is a lot of
camera shake so don't confuse that with erratic movement. You will see the two
objects above each other. There were 7 of them at one stage and I called my
wife to have a look and then there was only 1 left in the sky. However another
one did appear and it moved to the top of the one that was left behind if that
makes sense?!?!
Anyway - I have had a lot of people tell me that I'm stupid and that I'm high
on drugs which I can assure you I am not. I know what I saw and unfortunately
the vid doesn't do it any justice. Anyway - I did mail it to Roger Day and he
said that in his opinion it could be UFOs or I think he said ETV's? He also
asked me if anything funny might have happened to me that eve at home like a
time lapse or weird marks on my body. I do recall switching a light on in the
lounge when this was all happening and my wife said asked me if I had switched
it off as it was off and I said no I didn't so not sure if this might have had
anything to do with this.
Anyway, I always try and have an open mind about things and my heart and head
are telling me that it wasn't anything man made or some weather phenom.

Lincoln, Nebraska Orange/Red Glowing Orb
Date: November 26, 2008
Time: 8:45 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Lincoln, NE.
Number of witnesses: 6
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Orange/red glowing orb.
Full Description of event/sighting: This is my third sighting of a red light.
The object was witnessed by myself and 2 other adults. The object again came
from the SE moving NW. What was witnessed at first looked like a full moon
behind trees, but it was a very bright reddish orange color. At this time I
ran inside to get my camera and my wife stayed outside and watched. I was
inside for no more than 15 seconds to get the camera. When I returned outside
the object had gone from approximately 100 - 200 feet to about 500 feet and
had lost it's glow, but was now a bright light about as brighter than Jupiter
appears in the sky. The object then moved north and climbed to about 1000
feet. sat there for about 2 minutes then climbed until it winked out. This is
the third sighting of the object. First was 8/18/08/. second was 8/29/08. and
tonight 11/26/08.
The pattern I have noticed if you are to take the first two sightings they
were 11 days apart. Counting on a calendar by 11's, 11/26/08 fell on an 11th
day. The craft again made no noise. My son living 3 blocks away on a third
floor apartment was out on his balcony and called me to tell me he was seeing
the object. I didn't have my cell phone on me and he left me a voice mail
saying what he was seeing. The time the message was left was 8:45pm (CST). He
saw it before I did because he was higher up and didn't have an obstructed
view as I did with it behind trees. He described it the same as I saw it.
There were three others with him at the time and they also witnessed it.

Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania 5 To 6 Lights Flying In Formation
Date: November 26, 2008
Time: 8:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Castlefin Rd., Bryn Mawr, PA. (Suburb of Philadelphia).
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 5-6
Shape of objects: Grouping of 5 to 6 very bright, perfectly round white lights
moving close together in some sort of formation.
Full Description of event/sighting: I was in the car with my Dad, driving back
to my parents house the night before Thanksgiving when, on a residential back
road about a street away from their house I couldn't help but notice a
grouping of 5 to 6 extremely bright white lights that appeared to be flying
very close to the ground in close formation but at times the lights would
group ever closer together. The street is heavily wooded but I had no problem
following the lights until they all clumped together to make one light and
just disappeared. My Dad who was driving saw it without even having to stop
the car.
----------
Lincoln, Nebraska 5 Orange Red Glowing Spheres
Date: November 27, 2008
Time: 10:13 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Above our home, flying north to south.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 7
Shape of objects: Round.
Full Description of event/sighting: November 27, 2008 10:13 p.m. My husband
was returning from a walk and saw 5 orange-red glowing spheres right above our
home. He called me on his cell phone and I looked out our second story window
and saw them. They were hovering right above our house in a loose formation.
They appeared to be about 100 feet above ground but that distance fluctuated.
I joined him outside to witness this event. They were completely silent and
moved rather slow when they were above our home. The five spheres traveled
north to south and when they were one block away they disappeared completely.
It was as if they were fireballs that burned out. Right after that, 2 more
appeared from the north-again right by our house. I called my neighbor to
witness this. I have never been a witness to anything like this before and
was relieved to find that others saw the same thing on this night in Lincoln,
Nebraska.
----------
Lake Bluff, Illinois Disc Shaped Lights
Date: November 28, 2008
Time: 6:20 - 7:15 p.m.
Location of Sighting: My 2nd floor window facing west, my backyard, my car.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Disc shaped lights, very bright and dense.
Full Description of event/sighting: This sighting began as I was looking out
the window while on the phone. I noticed two lights, I got off the phone and
immediately grabbed the binoculars. The lights appeared to be disc shaped, not
round or star-like, but it was impossible to be sure from the distance. At
times it seemed they dimmed and then got brighter. I then went outside to get
a better look. The top light was dimmer than the bottom one. They were both
significantly lower than any other stars in the sky. There is a lot of light
pollution in the area so I could tell they were extremely bright. The lights
moved so slowly that they appeared stationary. I kept an eye on them for the
next half an hour and they were starting to slowly make their way west. I got
in my car with a friend and we watched them on our way out to the highway. It
was at this point they finally moved out of site after roughly an hour of
watching them.
I would also like to mention on ufostalker.com right now, half of the 20 most
recent events are sightings of the exact same thing (including my report to
mufon). The ones with pictures confirm that I and my friend, saw the same
thing. Something was going on last night all across the United States.

On The 401W To Toronto, Ontario Circular Objects Form Triangle
Date: November 29, 2008
Time: 5:50 p.m. - 7:20 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Just west of Kingston driving the 401W to Toronto.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 3
Shape of objects: Circular objects which then formed a triangular shaped
pattern.
Full Description of event/sighting: My girlfriend and I were driving along the
401 (westbound) just outside of Kingston when I spotted two "star-liked"
shapes in the south western sky.
Initially I thought that these lights were planets as they were quite bright.
The first light was quite bright in intensity and situated approximately 5,000
feet lower than the second light which was comparatively smaller and dimmer.
There were no other flashing or blinking lights and these two objects appeared
to be "hovering" in position for quite some time.
I approximated the height of these objects to be 15,000 - 20,000 feet from the
ground (as I am aware that commercial airplanes fly at an altitude of
30-35,000 feet). I even witnessed an airplane flying above these two lights
and you could clearly distinguish the plane from the two unknown objects. The
plane was quite a bit smaller (and you could identify the tail and wing lights
which were absent on the 2 unknown objects). The approximated object height
obviously is inaccurate as these objects may in fact not existed within out
atmosphere but could have existed outside which would create the illusion. If
any physicists would like to do the calculations to determine the appropriate
angle then I would suggest the image size of the larger shaped object to be
approximately the circumference of a top of a thumb tack.
What was quite intriguing about these objects is that in the blink of an eye
they would be located completely over top of us and then all of a sudden
disappear and look as if they were from the Scarborough region to all of a
sudden Niagara Falls region. Also at one point we would repeatedly see a third
object which flashed and would approach in some type of communicative fashion.
Closer to Toronto, we actually saw the third object approach the two that were
slightly diagonal from one another and then the three formed a triangular type
of pattern. This shape then rotated a complete turn, then the third object
moved away from the other two.
By the way, we happened to record the entire event with our digital camera.
There is quite a bit of shakiness in the video (girlfriend's recording
technique) and the objects are difficult to see (due to the inability to zoom
in closely).
----------
Near Oshawa, Ontario Airport Unknown Craft ?
Date: November 29, 2008
Time: 6:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Near Oshawa airport.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: N/A.
Full Description of event/sighting: A friend of mine called me to come check
of an airplane that was coming in for a landing at a near by airport. What
caught his attention was how low the plane was coming in, after the plane left
our field of view we continued talking outside. After no more than a minute
another light peaked over the clouds. What was strange was, the incredible
rate at which the object was moving. This object appeared to be about 1-2 km
away with only a white blinking light which seemed to flash briefly in 1
second intervals. It was hard to keep up with the object flashing and moving
so fast. At the distance we were standing we would normally hear every plane
that fly's by, this object made no sounds. Again I've never seen anything fly
into the airport that fast it made it's way across the horizon in about 15
second.

Albuquerque, New Mexico Small Triangle
Date: December 3, 2008
Time: 9:30 p.m. till 12:30 a.m. it was still there when I went to bed.
Location of Sighting: Above Albuquerque.
Number of witnesses: 9
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Small triangle.
Full Description of event/sighting: I was sleeping when my girlfriend woke me
up and told me to go look at the UFO my son had found out from a phone call
from a friend who had called to tell him about it. It seemed to be flying in a
pattern but, was not an airplane. I am the daughter of a USAF full bird Col
retired USAF pilot and I have grown up watching planes. This had no sound, one
white light and could disappear when it wanted usually in the same place in
it's flight pattern. It did change flight patterns a couple of times, but it
also could zoom across the city in the matter of a second. No noise, I called
local news stations and as far as I know they were unable to catch it on film
, I also called the homeland security number (that was kind of a joke the
local number was a recording the 1-800 number I did get someone and advised me
to call the local police. So I did and they reported it to all authorities. I
see nothing about it in the news today as of yet. When I called the police
operator back I told her it seemed to be staying away from the air force base
and she said "we are aware of that" and thanked me for my call so, who knows.
