NEW HAMPSHIRE - DAYLIGHT STARS MOVING IN ALL DIRECTIONS
PLAINFIELD -- Carolyn McNellis writes, I had an interesting experience on
Sunday, September 7, 2003, from 2:15 to 2:50 PM, while sitting in my yard
in the shade and looking northwest up through the trees into the clear,
blue sky. I thought I was witnessing a meteor shower, except the "stars"
were going in all directions, stopping in mid air and then moving rapidly
along and out of sight; or changing direction completely and zipping out of
sight; or two coming from different directions, and colliding, then moving
off in different directions as if they hadn't "met." There were occasional
(2 or 3) tiny "vapor trails" which would disappear almost immediately. The
"stars" were very bright, and about the size of a pinhead held at arm's
length -- all about the same size and brilliance -- all reflecting the suns
rays I thought. The sky seemed full of them; maybe over 100 during the
period. It rivaled the last spring's great meteor shower. I thought I was
witnessing white moths, which were flying into the trees with the sunlight
shining on their wings. I realized the STARS were extremely high in the
heavens, certainly not 100 to 200 feet! That got my attention. I watched
for about 5 minutes before going into the house to call our friend, an
astronomer at Dartmouth. He lives two miles away, and went into his yard to
spot them. He was unable to see anything, and finally suggested I try to
photograph them. By the time I got the camera, they were almost gone, and I
was only able to catch one. We ruled out an airplane discharge and ice
crystals. Thanks to Carolyn McNellis See photos at

NEW JERSEY - UFO TEARDROP
LINDEN -- At 9:30 PM, while driving on August 30, 2003, the observer saw a
silver disk shaped object in the sky with extremely bright lights. One of
the lights was yellow. He states, "While driving I called a family member
on my cell phone and stopped to look at it and describe what I was seeing."
Then the disk took off but, while I was still on the phone my uncle went
outside to look and he spotted it. When I approached the street that it was
on, to look at it again it disappeared. I drove around town to look for it,
but could not find it, 4 other people (including my uncle witnessed this
event),

MARYLAND- EXTREMELY BRIGHT SEARCHLIGHT
LAYTONSVILLE --At 10:13 PM, on September 1, 2003, the witness heard a loud
noise resembling an engine outside, so she looked out her window and saw
something like a shooting star, but it was falling UP very fast! A light on
the object started flashing VERY brightly and then a HUGE, EXTREMELY BRIGHT
searchlight turned on. She states, "I thought they were looking for
something as I moved around in my bed to try to get a better view, then the
searchlight shined REALLY bright on my window, and I could hardly see." So
I closed my eyes for a second, then it was gone! I was still looking out my
window when I saw a man's reflection in it. I turned around and nobody was
there. Thanks to CookieDough1190@netscape.net
VIRGINIA - HOVERING OBJECT WITH TWO LIGHTS ON EACH END
ELBERON -- On August 31, 2003, a friend told her driver, "Look at those
hovering lights!" The driver acknowledged she could just barely see them.
The driver states, "As I began to enter the bend in the road, four lights
were directly over top of us with the two on the outsides being slightly
the largest. I could not see a shape of the object, because the lights were
so bright and it was so close. I told her I was stopping the van when I got
out of the curve, right at the highway intersection. The object was
hovering, because I could now see it behind me. I said, Let's get out. We
both jumped out of the van. The very second I turned, it was absolutely and
completely GONE. This thing was SO CLOSE to the ground that the lights were
almost blinding to look into. The lights were like vehicle lights 80 feet
ahead coming toward us. Without disussing what we saw, we both drew
pictures of the same thing."

GEORGIA - HOVERING FLASHING OBJECT BLUE, RED, AND AMBER LIGHTS
SAVANNAH - The witness reports, "I was on the deck around 2330 hours, on
September 1, 2003, and saw Mars off to my east; and I turned and saw a
strobe of an aircraft off to the west of me but, I noticed that it was not
moving." It looked like a Christmas light, flashing red, blue, and amber
color. I grabbed a pair of binoculars and it was so far off that I could
only see the lights flashing and changing. I could not see a shape. I
thought it was a star -- but I noticed that the other stars were not
flashing or changing light texture. I sat down and watched through the
binoculars, and it barely moved, while it would flash rapidly and then slow
way down. It seemed to grow larger then back off, all the while the lights
flashed blue, red, and amber or white. The clouds passed in front of the
object and myself and I went inside when it started to rain. Thanks to

TENNESSEE - VIDEO CONSIDERED A REAL ANOMALY
Kim Shaffer writes, " Just received this conclusion from Jeff Sainio,
MUFON's video expert about the disc I filmed August 2nd. Subject: RE:
Weather balloons? I measured the object size; not very exciting; the
attached graph shows the size (in arbitrary units over the length of the
video); drops somewhat, then stays fairly constant. Assuming the object is
actually constant, this indicates the object distance; moving away but then
stopping. But in doing so I noticed the contrast was quite bad at several
points (most notably when a bird flies through the upper right of the
video). The contrast loss is not simply due to glare and small size; other
points in the video showing a small object (probably due to rotating to a
small 'face') show good contrast. The obvious conclusion is that the poor
contrast is due to being almost in the clouds. This gives the Rosetta
stone; an indication of object distance. Assuming the clouds are at 10,000
feet (is a better number known)? simple trig indicates an object distance
of about 4 miles and size of about 20 feet, Max speed about 20 MPH. These
numbers are only good to 20% or so. The 20-foot size is certainly
interesting. Thanks to Kim Shaffer, 9/7/03 message from

OHIO - OHIO RESIDENTS SEE STRANGE LIGHTS IN SKY
ROME TOWNSHIP -- Tim Stephen's of the Herald-Dispatch writes, "Maybe it is
something for the X-Files. Residents in the Rome Township, Proctorville and
Chesapeake areas were curious about the source of odd lights in the sky
Sunday and Monday nights. Two lights appeared to circle as if chasing one
another each night over Rome Township, prompting residents to peer skyward.
Occasional blips or flashes also appeared at random, sometimes over Ohio 7
and sometimes over Ohio 243 toward the Ohio River." "They were just kind of
circling around," said Roger Lambert, "The lights appeared, at times, to
resemble spotlights reflecting off clouds." The Lawrence County Sheriff's
Department received phone calls inquiring about the lights, as did
television stations WOWK and WSAZ. The circling lights certainly didn't
appear to be lightning. "I didn't think anything of it until I saw the
little flashes. Ohio traditionally has been a hotbed for UFO sightings. The
northeastern section of Ohio, particularly around Akron, has garnered much
more attention for strange phenomena in the sky.
On Friday, then again on Saturday, Heather Rice of Bainbridge, Ohio,
spotted and filmed something she couldn't explain in the skies of central
Ohio. "It looked like a circular thing with windows with the red and green
lights shining through." "It was spinning fast." Thanks to Jim Hickman and
the Herald-Dispatch 9/4/3
OKLAHOMA - BRIGHT SILVER DISC, WITH BLACK DOT IN MIDDLE
PONCA CITY -- On September 3, 2003, the witness was outside, at 7:10 PM,
and saw a bird, and then he saw this strange bright object with a black dot
in the middle of it. First I thought it was a plane, then I realized it
wasn't because it was shaped like a disc. I was watching it, and then
started to think it was a UFO. It looked silver, but bright like a
reflection. It was moving straight then it would move left then back to the
same place. I ran inside to get someone, then when we came back it was
gone.
LOUISIANA - STRING OF LIGHTS ABOVE FIELD
LAKE CHARLES -- KPLC in Lafayette, reports Dwayne Wilks says, "My daughter
called and said, 'Dad, come outside-there's something really weird in the
sky.' It was sometime after nine p.m. last Thursday night. I never saw
anything like that before in my life." Witnesses saw a strange string of
bright lights in a field, just above a group of tall trees. Wilks says, "I
know there were ten of us and we all saw the same thing." Wilks' father
Daniel saw it, too. He says, "There was definitely lights out there. Was it
a craft? I couldn't say yes or no because it was dark and I couldn't see
any craft, but I did see the lights." The Bellon family, who lived close
by, saw it too. Wilks says, "I have been living here all my life and have
never seen anything in that field, so it wasn't just some object out
there. It was high enough off the ground. It was something in the
air...You couldn't hear it. It was strange, totally strange."
ARIZONA - PHOTO OF CIRCULAR DISK OBJECT
APACHE JUNCTION After taking several photos of the sunrise on August 28,
2003., I came home and uploaded the photos to my PC. One photo has a very
clear image of an object that is quite enigmatic. I increased the size by
600% and it still seems to be a solid circular object. Several other photos
of the same part of the sky were taken just seconds apart do not show the
object. I am willing to send photos

CALIFORNIA - HOVERING BRIGHT RED LIGHT
LOS ANGELES -- My friends and I saw the same light that was described but
on Sunday, August 31. 2003. It appeared twice. The first time it appeared
it was 11 PM, not long after that there were two red lights in the sky. The
sky was clear, no clouds, no glare, no nothing around it. At this time my
girlfriends sister called us in the car and we looked up through the moon
roof and there it was two bright red dots in the sky. When we got to their
house it was gone. I looked up at the sky and saw two stars in the sky. Two
hours later it came back. This time only one bright red light appeared, and
this time I had my video camera and recorded it all on tape. The light just
stayed stationary and didn't move. Then after a few minutes it started to
blink almost like morse code. Then it disappeared. After we recorded it, we
viewed it in slow motion and at the end we saw a stream of light moving
upwards from the ground up into the sky. A video was taken on Labor Day of
a similar light and shown on CNN and numerous TV stations around the
country. <A HREF="www.nuforc.org">NUFORC</A>
WASHINGTON - FIREBALL CRASHES
TROUT LAKE -- At 11 AM, August 31st, a very large fireball, green in color,
came in from the west and looked as if it hit the eastern slopes of Mt
Adams. Fifteen people present at a skywatch witnessed it. There were
several other sightings that exhibited strange behavior. One in particular
had a brilliant red point of light on the front of the object. It did not
strobe and was very high, most likely outside of the Earth's atmosphere. On
the 30th, a large triangle was spotted that made course corrections and
angle changes as it flew over. Many are trying to say these triangles are
tethered satellites; a secret spy satellite system. Sorry, we are not
buying it. There may be such a system but it does not make right angle
turns and change angles as it flies over. We have these large triangles on
film and have seen them at tree top level. They have form; look metallic,
yet not totally physical. They flashed a bank of red lights at the tail as
they flew over. Thanks to -James Gilliland ECETI Director

CANADA - INTENSE WHITE LIGHT SURROUNDS AUTO
BARRIE, ONTARIO -- The witness reported that he and his wife were driving
home at 12:29 AM, on August 31, 2003, when their car was enveloped in a
very high intense white light coming from behind them. They first thought
it might have been a O.P.P. cruiser with its spot lights on. But they soon
realized that it was something very unusual due to the light growing in
size around their vehicle and the surrounding area. The light was so
intense that it lit up the whole sky and area for five seconds. His wife
who was driving looked into the outside rear mirror and observed an object
flying up from behind them with three colored lights that were orange, red
and green. The white light which engulfed their vehicle was so bright, that
they had a very hard time seeing and a dozen cars near by hit their brakes
almost simultaneously. Suddenly the light disappeared. After the couple
arrived home they saw some neighbors sitting outside, who also saw it. Also
the TV and radio stations and pilots were reporting it as well.
PENTICTON - BC - A dentist and friend witnessed a massive bluish colored
ball of light on August 30, 2003, at 11:30 p.m. that was traveling south
over Okanagan Lake and left a trail behind it for 10 to 15 minutes glowing
in the night sky. Also the witnesses noticed something dark in color in the
center of the blue ball of light. Thanks to Brian Vike, Editor: Canadian

MEXICO - RED AND WHITE SPHERE LATER A BLACKOUT
FLORIDA SUN-SENTINEL/Reuters -- A power outage left at least four million
Mexicans in five states without electricity on September 2, 2003. The
blackout occurred before dawn in Mexico's southern states of Yucatan,
Campeche, Quintana Roo and parts of Tabasco and Chiapas. By afternoon,
power had been returned to about 80% of the affected area. `The preliminary
diagnosis is a flaw in a transformer in the Ticul substation in Yucatan.
The Federal Electricity Commission said, "The fault, which automatically
shut down power lines, could have been caused by lightning, a fire, or
transformers.
AJIJIC -- About 10 PM, a retired oil executive and his business
administrator wife were enjoying their outdoor Jacuzzi when they observed a
red and bright white sphere on August 31, 2003, for some 45 seconds,
traveling rapidly towards the northeast. As it approached - quite rapidly
in an arc flight path below a moderate cloud cover - it became evident that
it was no aircraft. No navigation lights, no strobe lights, no green
starboard light. There was no any engine noises. As it approached, the red
light took on a ball shape with a steady, bright white light emitted. It
disappeared to the northeast, covering the 100 degree arc in 45 seconds.

UK - BLACKOUT KILLS ELECTRICITY AND UFO FLY'S CLOSE TO GLIDERS
LONDON -- Another mysterious blackout occurred last week, USA Today reports
when "power went out in London and parts of south England, stranding
thousands of commuters" for 45 minutes on Thursday, August 28, 2003. Half a
million people were affected when the outage struck in London and Kent.
Much of the London Underground (subway) and regional trains stopped at rush
hour." "The power problem originated in two high-voltage lines belonging to
the national power grid southwest London." On September 5, 2003, thousands
of homes were plunged into darkness after a power cut just after 8.15 PM.
EDF Energy said electricity engineers battled to repair a fault in an
underground cable. Thanks tovmo56181@hotmail.com
BASINGSTOKE - A shiny black cylindrical object was observed at 4 PM, for
about 20 minutes at a low altitude and gliders in the vicinity on August
31, 2003. The object slowly tumbling moved at the same speed as the clouds
like a balloon. It appeared to be solid when viewed through binoculars. It
did not appear to distort in the wind as a long balloon would.

CAN UFO's CAUSE BLACKOUTS?
TOLEDO - On August 28, Filer's Files #36 Lissy Dunning's reported a
triangular UFO was spotted over Toledo, Ohio, a port city at the western
end of Lake Erie, the day before August 14, blackout. Both before and after
the blackout George Ritter took photos of UFOs over Fostoria thirty miles
south of Lake Erie. Michehl Gent, president of the North American Electric
Reliability Council, said that though the cause remains unknown, initial
evidence points to the loop that encircles Lake Erie. Gent said power on
the northern side of the lake was flowing from west to east just before the
incident, and "as it unfolded, the power reversed itself" and nearly
doubled. Some 300 megawatts of electricity moving east abruptly reversed
course and within seconds 500 megawatts of power suddenly were moving
west." "The whole loop had this oscillating power phenomenon, the blackout
cascaded off the loop and spread before the electrical system was able to
stop it. Terrorism or cyberterrorism was not the cause. It should be noted
that UFOs are frequently reported flipping and changing directions. Air
Force electronic aircraft have detected large outflows of electric energy
from UFOs, equivalent to a power station in output. It is certainly
possible that UFOs are tremendous balls of plasma, similar to ball
lightning. I have observed while flying large clouds lit up by lightning
almost continuously, it seems possible that this tremendous energy becomes
electrified mass, held together like any cloud, and appears like a
florescent or neon light. This object under the right circumstances can
retain its energy for an extended period. It may have a type of
intelligence to maintain its life span by attempting to capture additional
energy. We have video of this type of UFO moving towards and stopping over
thunderstorms apparently to capture more electrical energy. Many
eyewitnesses have reported seeing UFOs over power stations, and power
lines. If a UFO was taking on power it is quite possible it would cause a
tremendous drain that could cause the electrical flow to reverse direction.
Electrical engineers claim that large theft of energy could go undetected.
Twenty-four hours after the Toledo sighting of a strange triangle-shaped
craft, the electrical lines of the Lake Erie region triggered the biggest
mass blackout in American history. An August 1st, Florida report describes
a UFO sighting that states, "It was right over us coming FROM THE WEST TO
THE EAST toward the highway at a pretty high speed. As soon as it was
directly over us IT FLIPPED, REVERSED and started heading WEST AGAIN
finally shooting away" Each of the blackouts has UFOs reported in the
vicinity within a few days.
GERMANY - NO INCREASE IN UFO SIGHTINGS DUE TO MARS
Two German UFO reporting centers: MUFON-CES and DEGUFO state, there has
been no increase in UFO reports due to the closeness of the planet Mars.
The group GEP had also said that the Mars hysteria has so far not caused
more UFO sightings. More UFO sightings were only reported by Werner Walter
from the group CENAP. AP reported that Walter received Mars caused UFO
reports on an almost daily basis. The unusual closeness of Mars stimulates
people's fantasy, AP wrote.
(http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/08/27/1061663855310.html
"The only thing that Mars stimulates is the fantasy of the press,"
Illobrand von Ludwiger, physicist and head of MUFON-CES, stated, "The press
only reported about UFO sightings that could be explained, consequently,
interesting UFO reports don't show up in the press," On August 29, 2003,
dpa repeatedly portrayed the German UFO investigator Werner Walter.
According to Frank Menhorn, head of DEGUFO, it was unusual that GEP was
also mentioned. Usually Werner Walter was almost exclusively the only
source and is known for identifying reported UFOs without scrutiny,"
Menhorn says. Both DEGUFO and MUFON-CES talked to UFO witnesses that
rejected Werner Walters explanations.
DEGUFO spoke to two police officers in July 2002, whose sighting was
identified by Walter as a "party balloon." One of the officers said, he was
"sure that it was something else. It was simply too fast. For me it was
just a unique experience." MUFON-CES investigated the UFO sighting of a
Berlin resident in June. After Walter identified this UFO as a "miniature
balloon," a MUFON-CES field investigator contacted the witness. He regards
Walter's explanation as "implausible." The witness had observed a "flat
disc" that "disintegrated" over a ten-minute time span. MUFON-CES filed the
case as "unidentified" -- as more than 400 other cases. Ludwiger can
imagine that the CENAP hotline indeed gets more UFO reports, because the
press predominantly reports about it.
On June 23, 2002, dpa even wrote CENAP ran "the only reporting center in
Germany." "We feel that we are more being called by more people that have
actually seen something strange," Ludwiger says. "On ethical grounds and
from the research perspective, it is irresponsible to tell witnesses, that
they had seen something else, something that Mr. Walter can explain
himself," the physicist says. Contrary to CENAP, MUFON-CES and DEGUFO state
there are anomalies. Since 1975, MUFON-CES investigates this phenomenon.
The groups goal is "to raise the discussion to a scientific level and
inform colleagues about the phenomenon." DEGUFO, too, wants to help answer
the UFO question. On September 13, 2003, the group has its 10th anniversary
symposium with Menhorn, Ludwiger, and ten more lecturers. Contact DEGUFO

FINLAND - OBJECT CHANGES SHAPE
NASTOLA --On August 28, 2003, the observer reports seeing an object that
changed its shape rapidly, and was surrounded with a bluish haze at 10:10
PM. It moved very fast, before it stopped for a few minutes, and then
accelerated into distance after five minutes. Thanks to Peter Davenport

ISRAEL - TWO UFO's WERE SEEN
TEL-AVIV - The witness was up on the roof watching the sunset on August 29,
2003, at 7:30 PM, when he saw two black spots flying towards him for 3
minutes. He states, "I fly hot air balloons so I am close to the aviation
field. If these are helicopters, I would hear their engines. They were too
slow to be airplanes. They flew in a structure, in a very different way
from the clouds around them and I've noticed circular spins in the way they
move. My balloon instructor happened to notice them at the same time from a
different location. We called each other to tell each other the same crazy
story! <A HREF="www.nuforc.org">NUFORC</A>
