DR HERMAN OBERTH FATHER OF ROCKETRY SAYS UFOs EXIST
"We find ourselves faced by powers which are far stronger than we had
hitherto assumed, and whose base is at present unknown to us. More I cannot
say at present. We are now engaged in entering into closer contact with those
powers, and in six or nine months time it may be possible to speak with some
precision on the matter."
PENNSYLVANIA FLYING TRIANGLE
CARLISLE -- On April 2, 2003, a flying triangle with a light in each corner
was seen at 9:45 PM, about six miles outside of Carlisle. The observer
states, "I was star gazing and looked toward the Big Dipper when I saw a
small cluster of shooting stars that I followed for about ten seconds, when
suddenly to my amazement a UFO appeared low overhead." It was triangular in
shape with three large round lights, one in each corner of the craft. I
watched it silently glide south across the sky for thirty seconds. I believe
I saw several UFOs enter our atmosphere, but I only viewed one craft close
up. Make no mistake about this, the craft was too low to be anything other
than a UFO, and I could not take my eyes off the one I was looking at. The
lights were not bright and were dimmed so as not to draw attention. However,
they were clearly visible and showed the triangular shape of the black craft..

MARYLAND - CHEVRONS FLYING LOW
WASHINGTON, D.C. BELTWAY -- Author Ray Stanford reports, "My wife and I were
preparing to leave our home near Greenbelt, Maryland at 8:15 PM, when a
strange wing-like object was observed overhead on March 8, 2003. There was
no aircraft body visible even though there was ground light reflecting off
the overcast clouds that should have clearly revealed any fuselage. The
anomalous aerial object 'AAO' was seen to emerge into view traveling on a
twenty-degrees-east of a true north course passing almost overhead. The
'Wing' spanned a full two degrees (120 ARC minutes) as contrasted with the
half-degree (about 30 arc minute) crescent moon, for an immediate and good
comparison of angular size. The 'AAO' was perceived by binocular disparity
(visual parallax due to eye separation) as being 600 to a maximum of 1,200
feet overhead, and at the time its actual maximum possible distance was
constrained by a thin layer of clouds overhead. Officially, that cloud layer
was OVERCAST at 23,000 feet at 20:51. Most disturbing was the total silence
of the nearby object. A bright, continuously white 'sphere'- was visible on
the tip of each 'wing.' Each white 'sphere' had a very sharp edge quite
different from the lights on ordinary aircraft, and of a much purer white
color.
A much smaller (than the white 'spheres') pure red light looked possibly more
'point-source' and was located in the 'middle' vertex of the 'wing.' It was
brightening and dimming, but at times it seemed more of a flicker or a pulse..
The 'wing' was quite strange. Although it was visible by the cloud
backlighting, it was rather vague because subtle light around it seemed to
vibrate or flicker at maybe ten hertz! All along and across the 'wing' there
was no sign of any aircraft type body! Since the sight was quite 'spooky',
maybe one could call them 'disembodied wings'. :) We live a few blocks
north of the little College Park Airport which is presently closed down to
non-government air traffic due to security concerns. This 'AAO' seemed so
very low that my 'gut' reaction was that it had taken off from there, despite
the fact that the thing seemed to be on a very flat course (neither climbing
nor descending). Subsequent inquiry to the airport revealed that there had
been no takeoff around the 20:15 time of the first observation, and the
airport had closed at 22:30, fifteen minutes before the second identical
observation to be described below.
Roughly fifty minutes after the first observation, an airliner type aircraft
came over, possibly having taken off from Andrews AFB just east of D.C. It
was on a slightly more westward bearing and considerably higher up. We could
see the aircraft's body, wings, and tail structure very clearly and hear it
very distinctly. By contrast, the 'AAO' had NO BODY VISIBLE, but only that
weird wing-like structure that seemed to shimmer. There was a bizarre
silence, 'stillness', and 'smoothness' that is hard to explain or even put
into adequately descriptive words. After the object had disappeared beyond
our north-northeastern horizon (taking roughly 30 seconds time to go from
near zenith across the northern horizon). I ran up to the third floor where
my Extreme Low-Frequency (ELF) magnetometer is located and noted a low-level,
continuous magnetic pulse in roughly the 2-hertz range, accompanied by a few
very strong 'spike' type pulses, one of which may have 'pegged' the needle.
These were not normal background magnetics. About 10:46 PM, I was again
upstairs with the magnetometer checking for any anomalous activity, when
similar magnetic phenomena began to again be seen by the action of the needle
display and I heard on the analog, frequency modulated audio output.
Watching and listening to that, I SUDDENLY heard a roar (seemingly directly
overhead) that vaguely resembled a loud jet but was distinctly different,
somehow. Then after a maybe 4 to 5 second duration, that roar SUDDENLY
subsided -- taking about 0.5 second to go from loud to nothing. Because of
the odd magnetic activity and the surprising sound, at cessation of the sound
I rushed downstairs and onto the front porch, from which I was surprised to
see an exactly identical 'AAO' (as compared to the 20:15 observation) on
_exactly_ the _same_ course! As with the earlier 'AAO,' I watched the object
from almost directly overhead as it moved in spookily total silence to across
the exact spot on the north-northeastern horizon into which the first object
had headed and disappeared. During the first observation, the sky above the
thing was overcast, but in the second sighting it was totally clear, with all
stars and planets visible. Still, I could see no 'body' on the object, but
only the 'wing.' This time, too, the 'wing' seemed to shimmer in a
light-distorting way that made it much less clear than had the very clear
wings, body, and tail section of the jet aircraft. In both observations of
the identical 'AAO,' when overhead the angular distance from white globe of
light to white globe of light ('wingtip'-to-'wingtip') was about 120 minutes
or arc (2 degrees), and I had a ready comparison because the crescent moon
(about 28 to 30 arc minutes) was still in the northwest during that second
and identical observation.
Clouds above an aircraft seem to amplify aircraft sounds to a ground
observer, but although it was overcast during the 20:15 observation, even
then not a sound of any kind could be heard! I found that really a bit
spooky because both things were clearly under power, moving steadily and
unwaveringly along precisely the same course in both observations. It was as
if both had traveled upon the very same invisible track in the sky! Let me
be clear in saying that I suspect this twice-seen object of being some type
of stealthy black-project aircraft (manned or unmanned) that is somehow
propelled silently, but wonder at the wisdom of operating such a vehicle over
this highly populated area within the Washington, D.C. Beltway. Oddly,
_everything_ seemed so still and quiet during the two passages of the objects
that I am reminded of reports of a similar phenomenon ("the OZ factor")
reported by certain observers of 'UFOs' at close range. Angular velocity of
both 'AAO?'s averaged at three degrees per second, if the observation time in
each case was 30 seconds. If 45 seconds, then it might have been two degrees
per second. ((NUFORC Note: This report submitted by Mr. Ray Stanford, noted
author and UFO investigator with NICAP for many years, and author of "Socorro
'Saucer' in a Pentagon Pantry." The book is an in-depth study of the April
24, 1964, landing of an egg-shaped craft in the desert of New Mexico,
witnessed by Socorro Police Officer Lonnie Zamora. It is the best
description of the events surrounding that case that we have ever
encountered. PD))
SOUTH CAROLINA -FLYING TRIANGLES JOIN HUGE CIRCLE
ISLE OF PALMS -- The observer had recently purchased new 20 X 60 binoculars
and a tripod adapter and was getting use to the magnification power for star
gazing on April 4, 2003. She was focusing on some of the brightest stars at
3:05 AM, when three "stars" moved horizontally in formation across the
viewing field. After they moved out of view, he looked and realized they
were quite visible without his binoculars. She says, "Using the binoculars I
could actually see a dark silhouette of a triangular craft and watched it
move for three minutes until the silhouette began to be difficult to discern,
and it stopped." She states, "I noticed the outline of a HUGE circle and
like the triangle, the darker black image was visible against the background
of the pretty dark night sky." Without binoculars, the perimeter of the
object was indicated by a circular nonmoving formation of lights, with one
very bright light in the center. An average star-like intensity light was
down and left of the center light. Also visible without binoculars, was a
circle of lights inside the larger circle. The front light of the triangle
seemed to be a part of that circle, while the two rear lights of the triangle
made up two of the ten lights of the perimeter of the circle. She reports,
"It was as if the flying triangle had moved into the pie shape, filling in
one of the wedges." As I stood there, trying to make sense of it all, clouds
moved in obscuring the sky. The observer graduated magna cum laude from
college, is successfully self-employed and is a great mother. Thanks to

FLORIDA - THREE BOOMERANGS AND TWO OVALS SPOTTED
PANAMA CITY -- Three boomerang shaped objects were seen hovering over the
Gulf of Mexico on the evening of March 13, 2003. The witness was at the
beach looking at the view at 11 PM, and saw a flash of light out of the
corner of his eye. He quickly looked and was very shocked to see it had the
shape of a boomerang or a sideways 'V' above the water. It was fire orange
with no distinctness about it. He says, "I thought it was quite strange, but
I figured it was a flash from a boat, that stayed there for a few seconds and
slowly went away; then another one appeared and went away all in slow motion,
and then another showed up." I had no idea what this was. All day jets had
been flying by and I thought maybe that was what it was, but these were
silent and bright orange (jets aren't orange). I have no idea what I saw. I
read there was a similar sighting in the fall of 2001, near Panama City. It
was a sight I will never forget.
GAINESVILLE -- Two witnesses saw a UFO in the sky over the University of
Florida on Saturday evening March 22, 2003. My friend and I went out for a
walk southwest of Lake Alice on a beautiful clear night perfect for watching
the stars. Around 10 PM, one witness states, "I happened to look up and
there was suddenly an ellipse-shaped dim object flying straight from
northwest to southeast at very high speed." I immediately told my friend Xi,
so she saw the same thing fly over and disappear in the southeast. We saw
the object for a total time of about five seconds. Only two or three seconds
later, when we were still looking at the sky and wondering what we had seen,
another ellipse-shaped dim object flew straight by from west to east at about
the same speed. It crossed the first UFO's path at an angle of 25-30
degrees. We both saw the two objects clearly and surely. They looked gray,
bright, outstanding in the dark sky. There were no flashes from these two
objects, and they seemed much higher and flew much faster than normal planes..
We suspect these objects were UFOs based on our analysis. Thanks to Peter
Davenport <A HREF="http://www.nuforc.org/">NUFORC</A>
TEXAS -- GREEN FIREBALL FELL FROM SKY
LAKE JACKSON -- On April 3, 2003, at 10:30 PM, the witnesses were traveling
southbound on Highway 288, just past the Brazoria County Airport exit, when a
green circle appeared in the sky with a short tail traveling east, like a
shooting star. Its speed was very fast, lasting about three seconds, and
then the green fireball dissipated or landed in the Richwood area.
BEDFORD -- Two witnesses sighted a burning object on April 5, 2003, that came
down changing trajectory as came down flying from the north to southwest with
a trailing plume of smoke. It was burning as it crashed at 10:30 AM near
Bedford. <A HREF="http://www.nuforc.org/">NUFORC</A>
ARIZONA - SPHERE MAKES 90 DEGREE TURNS
PHOENIX -- On April 6, 2003, a round object was observe at a high altitude at
4:50 PM, that moved at various speeds, stopping at times, and then changed
direction almost at a 90 degree angle. It then gained altitude and reflected
the sun's light. There were no exterior lights and the object moved quickly,
slowed and stopped. It made short quick movements then proceeded at a 90
degrees from the original movement at a slow speed. A commercial aircraft
heading north passed and the object appeared well above it. About fifteen
minutes later I observed a similar object approach from the south that also
stopped, then made a sharp 90 degree turn and headed east as did the first
object. It slowly passed out of visual range. Thanks to Peter Davenport

CALIFORNIA -- CHEVRON AND CIRCLE
CONCORD -- Three friends were on their way to a party on April 4, 2003, at
about 10 PM, when the driver swerved off the road and drove into a parking
lot shouting, "Look up." They saw a bright orange circular object, the color
of fire flying over. The object wasn't flying like any aircraft they had
ever seen, and was almost hovering. It would move a bit, kind of like a real
slow blowing leaf. They reversed out of the parking lot to get a better
look, but the object faded and disappeared. They drove around hoping to see
it, and spotted the object between some buildings. One witness states, "We
all jumped out of the car and saw it again, there is no plane that can fly
that far so quick, then just stop and hover." Then the object slowly started
flying to the right and all of us were 'trippen out.' My friend used his
phone to call friends about the UFO, and I called my parents but there was no
answer. I called my girl friend, who could hear my friends freaking out. We
then noticed something falling from the UFO. It was dropping big bright
orange flame looking things that looked like sparks from a campfire, but real
big. It would drop 4 to 6 of these sparks, then stop for a second, and then
continue on dropping things. The sparks were almost the same size as the
UFO, and I thought it might be part of the war. The UFO kept flying and
dropping things from it, as it began to fade or disappear. After a few
seconds it reappeared, but was not as bright.
CONCORD -- The witness was driving northeast on Detroit Avenue on April 4,
2003, when the he noticed an unusual illuminated object in the sky at 3:05
AM. It was a dim reddish orange "natural" color like that of a dim fire. It
didn't appear to be illuminated by artificial light. It would slow down and
change directions like nothing I know of, except a helicopter but helicopters
are loud, and there was no sound coming from this thing. I pulled over and
it was gone. So we drove around looking for it. We got out of the car and
observed the object that was heading in our direction about a mile north of
us. I began calling family and friends but no one could see it. I concluded
the object was much closer than we thought and couldn't have been much bigger
than the average jet. The object began dropping some sort of laminated
debris over the city. The debris looked as if it was on fire or illuminated
as well but it appeared to go out before it hit the ground. But it was
rhythmically dropping debris for the duration of at least a minute, every two
seconds. This excited me! What was it dropping? It was actually pretty
scary and exciting! It passed where we were and finally faded out into the
sky like a campfire would go out. This object looked almost "organic." It
was very bizarre. Thanks to Peter Davenport

OREGON - LARGE SPHERE ENTERING CLOUD
ALOHA -- A couple was at pulling their car up to a store at 6:35 PM, on April
4, 2003, when the wife asked, "What is that?" The husband did not see the
object. The object was about 10,000 feet high and just above a large section
of blue sky with lots of clouds. The wife said, "I saw a large sphere, about
the size of an eraser held at arm's length, that was extremely bright, and
seemed metallic; it dove in an arc into a cloud at a speed much faster than
anything I have ever seen before." We got out of the car and looked for
several more minutes, but nothing else happened.
CANADIAN NEWSPAPER SAYS TERRACE UFO HOTSPOT
Jennifer Lang of the Terrace Standard Newspaper reports: TERRACE is living up
to its reputation as a UFO hot spot. As many as 30 people may have recently
witnessed two black, triangular-shaped flying objects in the Lakelse Lake
area, the northwest's resident UFO researcher has been told. Brian Vike,
field researcher and president of HBCC-UFO, is now hoping to talk to
eyewitnesses to verity the report. He also wants to find out more details
like the exact time, date, and description of the sighting -- thought to have
taken place several weeks ago. That would help him determine what witnesses
saw. A variety of known objects such as stars, planets, meteors, or aircraft
can be mistaken for UFOs. Vike learned about the sighting after someone sent
him an email telling him that more than 30 people had witnessed two
triangular objects in the sky. "I'm kind of chomping at the bit -- all I
need is a couple of names and number to get on this," he said from his home
base in Houston, B.C. "From what I'm gathering, they're professional people
-- not just kids."
Vike is intrigued by the possibility that the sighting involves
triangular-shaped objects, which are less commonly reported. There's been a
flurry of UFO reports along the Highway 16 corridor lately. "It's just been
non stop," he said, adding he's received eight or nine reports in the past
week. "There is something; I don't know if it's military that's a
possibility." Another recent report from the Terrace area involved a yellow
ball of light the size of a basketball spotted over a trailer in Thornhill.
It moved low in the air, traveling quickly before pausing above the mountain..
"Then it proceeded like a bang," Vike says. The recent activity suggests
Terrace's top ten showing on the 2002; Canada UFO survey may have been no
fluke. The survey counted 25 eyewitness reports from Terrace in 2002,
putting us in third place overall, ahead of Houston, B.C., which is in fourth
place and even ahead of major metropolitan areas like Toronto and Vancouver.

INTERVIEW WITH EYEWITNESS TO CHILEAN UFO SIGHTING
SANTIAGO DE CHILE -- Fernando Martinez a student of graphic design on March
21, 2003, happened to be at the corner of Pedro de Valdivia and Providencia.
At noon and a knot of people looked skyward with curiosity at a series of
unknown luminous objects over the area. It was among the most massive UFO
sightings of recent times. Fernando states, "I suddenly realized that many
people were looking at the sky and pointing with their fingers, so I looked
and was able to see a light without any defined shape with over 50 smaller
lights all around." They didn't move much. At least not noticeably. All the
people were saying: "Look, they're UFOs!" They could have been airplanes or
balloons, but it seemed strange to me at that altitude. Later, seeing their
movement, I realized they weren't airplanes and there was no noise? People
were calm and in general the spectators were very interested in the
phenomenon. Were you aware that the sighting coincided with the allied
attack on Iraq? I found out later when I saw the news. In one article I saw
they were discussing that UFOs always appear whenever there's a tragedy
unfolding. I don't know that there's any connection. The UFOs remained
there for longer than an hour. I can only say, "I saw UFOs over Santiago de
Chile, and know what they were like." It isn't the first time that I've seen
something strange. A few years ago, while vacationing in Puc=F3n, we saw a
light that got in front of us and vanished in a matter of seconds. Thanks to

ENGLAND - PINKISH LIGHT WITH LIGHTS BEING EJECTED
LIVERPOOL -- Bill Bimson says, "I was in the house playing music on March 27,
2003, at around 7 PM, getting ready to go out. I happened to glimpse out my
bedroom window towards Huyton to see a large pink/red light that seemed to be
stationary. I looked at it for a couple of seconds thinking it was an
aircraft, but the light was constant and much larger than an aircraft light.
I grabbed my binoculars and saw an object, that seemed to be a large light,
with a reddish trail behind it as if it was traveling at high speed. I
couldn't make out a solid object but it did not appear to move. Then out
shot a small white light from the top of the 'pink light' that rose up away
and disappeared. So it's not a light that was connected to the light but an
external object. Half a second later, two small side by side white lights
shot from underneath the pink light and diagonally moved away before
disappearing. About a second later, the pink light 'disappeared' as if it
blinked out. The total time of this 'light' was about six seconds. I am
used to seeing aircraft coming in from afar, however, this was much larger
than your average aircraft and had no flashing lights and of course the white
lights appeared to fly off it. Thanks to Jonathan Wild,

ITALIAN UFO NEWSFLASH - SIGHTINGS IN ITALY INCREASE
The Italian Center for UFO Studies reports the sighting of 42 UFO phenomena
during the month of February. This is a 40% increase in comparison with last
year. Two small flaps took place on February 24th in the Province of Varies
and on the 28th in Emilia.
The total for January and February is greater than the same period for last
year, and the preceding two years. The collection and cataloguing of
sightings continues for 2001, that has an already-staggering total of 848
cases. There are 745 cases for 2002. The annual mean number of yearly
Italian reports regularly and steadily exceeds the 700-mark.
MOLISE A FALLEN OBJECT -- Numerous UFO reports were received by the Isernia
Police Department's Provincial Command during the late evening of March 15,
2003. The object fell into a wooded area near the town of Venafro, setting
off a fire which was rapidly brought under control by fire crews. No object
was found in the area, and snowfalls over the ensuing days impeded further
investigations. The authorities were worried about a public furor, and
suggested the incident was caused by a lightning strike. As a rebuttal,
motorists have come forth with testimony claiming to have distinctly observed
a long fiery trail of an orange colored object passing overhead from the
south and falling into the woods of Monte Corno. Immediately following the
impact, the witnesses saw flames break out. Thanks to ANSA, Il Giornale del

POLAND- LARGE UFO OBSERVED BY FORTY PEOPLE
KOLBIEL -- Tomasz Wierszalowicz reports, "We had a UFO observation in Central
Poland on March 20, 2003, about 2 AM, when about forty people from a night
shift were on break at work. They were outside and watched a big object drop
a sphere shaped object. The object was slowly descending and as it got
closer to the ground the observers saw a red circle shaped light with a
halo-glow on the surface. The object had numerous lights on its surface and
the people definitely said that the object could not be from Earth. Thanks

IRAQ - UFOs FLY AS ALLIED BOMBS
LITTLE ZAB VALLEY -- According to UFO Roundup, on Thursday, March 27, 2003,
an oblong luminous UFO hovered over the holy city of Najaf located about 60
miles south of Baghdad. A photo showing the unknown object, with a G.I. of
the 3rd Brigade, 101st Airborne Division pointing at it with his forefinger,
appeared in the newspaper Euronews, according to French Ufologist Thierry
Garnier. UFO Roundup correspondent Mohammed Hajj al-Amdar stated, "The UFO's
appearance caused great excitement among the Shiites who saw it. They said
it had come from Allah's Gardens of Bliss to protect the Tomb of Ali." Najaf
is a holy city to Shiite Muslims because of the golden-domed mosque that
stands over the grave of Ali, the son-in-law of the prophet Mohammed. The
mosque miraculously escaped damage last week from the 101st Airborne's
howitzer barrage. Despite a heavy Allied bombing raid on Little Zab River
Valley in Northern Iraq, UFOs appeared in the night skies on Wednesday, April
2, 2003. And again on Thursday, "tiny UFOs shaped like a tube with a rotating
spiral around them" appeared over Zawra Park in Baghdad at 11:57 PM.
Eagle-eyed correspondent Grady Croy spotted the UFOs during a live broadcast
from Baghdad "while watching FOX News with Shepard Smith. Thanks to UFO
Roundup, Editor Joseph Trainor, Vol. 8, # 15 April 9, 2003.
