BRINNON -- About 3:55 AM, on February 10, 2003, I looked into the southern
sky and saw pulsating lights that continued pulsating over different places
in the sky and not always in the same way. There was no noise and I have
never seen anything like it. I contacted a couple of local TV stations and
one did say they contacted the FAA, but there was no record of anything.
These lights lasted about 40 minutes and I am curious if anyone else saw
them.
SEATTLE -- The witness was just standing on his porch on February 11, 2003,
having a cigarette at 1:20 AM, when he looked to the sky and got a flash
directly in the face with 2 quick pulses of blue light. He looked where the
light source came from and saw an object outlined with about twelve
yellowish lights dropping down behind some trees. I live near Boeing field....
but have never seen anything like it. It was silent...no engine or prop noise.
((NUFORC Note: Several reports to the FAA and local media about this event.

CANADIAN UFO SIGHTINGS INCREASE SHARPLY IN 2002
WINNIPEG (CP) - Scott Edmonds of the Canadian Press reports, "In 2002 we had
the largest number of separate events for a single year in the history of
collecting UFO data for Canada," Chris Rutkowski of Ufology Research of
Manitoba said Wednesday. "We have some extraordinary cases in Canada last
year reported literally from one end of the country to the other." Since
1989 his group has been compiling reports from across Canada.
There were 483 UFO sightings reported in 2002 - almost 30 per cent more than
in 2001 and a 250 per cent increase since 1998. That's a record if 1993 is
excluded when one celestial fireball contributed to a high of 489 reports
that year, explained Rutkowski, who added that 154 of them were easily
explained because of the fireball. "Overall it's fascinating to see that
the number of cases in Canada rose so dramatically last year," he said.
There is no easy explanation for the increase, he added.
Rutkowski said one of the strangest unexplained sightings occurred in
January 2002 near the tiny community of Inkerman, N.B. "A large object with
flashing lights and brightly lit windows flew slowly and fairly silently over a
highway," he said. "A couple stopped their car and watched it as it moved
down behind some trees." Overall, British Columbia was once again the place
to be in 2002 to see a UFO. The province produced 176 sightings, more than
Ontario and Quebec combined and up from 123 in 2001. The Yukon produced 20
reports last year and has consistently produced about that many or more
since 1998. Ontario produced 128 reports last year, Alberta 51, Manitoba 36,
Quebec 34, Nova Scotia 23, Saskatchewan 6, New Brunswick 4, Newfoundland 3 and
Nunavut 2. More UFOs were reported in late summer and February than any
other time of the year.
