Mars – Green and Blue Areas Indicate Life
Dr.Serguei M. Pershin, Ph.D., an Investigator for the NASA Mars Polar Lander LIDAR experiment, claims he has discovered organic pigments on Mars relating to ancient photosynthetic organisms. These discoveries of organic pigments on Mars indicate that life is present, or at least was present at one time on the planet. During the Hesperian period of lakes and rivers on Mars, there would have been sufficient energy input from solar radiation to support life with the characteristics of the cyanobacteria that dominate many terrestrial and aquatic habitats on Earth such as Antarctica. Other new green and blue images from the European Space Command point to life now on Mars or in the past. Recent Hubble images show the planet turning green in the southern hemisphere as the South Pole melts. For more than a hundred years astronomers have reported the greening of the planet each spring.
Bonneville Crater, Bunny, and Lizard
When a meteorite slams into the ground and creates a crater, it throws surface debris out to the sides called ejecta, revealing the older, mostly buried material. In the case of Bonneville crater this explosion apparently hit a temple or settlement throwing carved stone, and rock into the air from the ancient settlement nick named Gavesak. It was hoped the ancient rock within the crater would show scientists how the area formed. Instead the Filer Research Institute has found the remnants of an ancient alien settlement. This discovery essentially changes history of the universe, and we now have strong evidence that intelligent life once existed on Mars.
I suspect JPL also saw the evidence of Gavesak, when it started to enter the ejecta field from Bonneville crater on January 24, and suddenly communication with the ‘Spirit’ Rover stopped for about a week. Bonneville crater is a small crater several hundred meters across and relatively young and is situated within the two billion year old and much larger Gusev crater. Gusev contained a succession of lakes, had channel flooding and even a river once ran through it.
Gusev, as with all large impact craters, would have made deep fractures in the ground that allowed heat to reach the surface and might have led to hydrothermal activity. Thus, we have many reasons Gavesak was an ideal site for an ancient Martian settlement. Viking 7 rovers located algae and water vapor and even a letter B. It now appears the laboratory tests also found primitive life as Dr. Levin insists. Any civilization requires some type of food and algae would not be enough to support intelligent life. Observation is the key to discovery in science and we may have found a structure such as this four sided pyramid.
The precence of possible alien artifacts on Mars is one of the most provocative enigmas ever confronted by science. Hundreds of aerial images have shown faces, pyramids, animals and even possible cities. It has been easy for JPL up to now to refute these claims from hundreds of miles above Mars. Low resolution images, camera angle, communications glitches could cause some of the enigmas. Certain shapes such as triangles do not occur in planetary surface geology. Yet we are collecting examples of triangles and pyramids not normally found in nature. Our findings disrupt numerous scientific theroies about Mars and will not be easily accepted in the scientific world.
One of our expert photographers has located a lizard like animal sunning on top of a rock? This backs up a previous similar fossil like finding of a similar animal. Notice the white object that is apparently round and one inch below on the left.
Thanks to JPL. Rocks are normally round not rectangular shape.
Many civilizations erect statues to their leaders and gods. We know that nature can make various symbols and faces by accident, but we have now located dozens of possibilities.
Once again we have indications of artificiality.aA second bunny like object has been found. Note that there is a track of disturbed ground behind it. Wind on Mars is very marginal, so most likely the object moved under its own power. We are happy to present our findings to any university or interested group. As suggested by many readers, stones have cracks in them, sunlight can create images and the like. However, in almost every case JPL has multiple images of our findings. We encourage unbiased inquiry but it is my opinion backed by some excellent scientists who have encouraged me that they also see a complete ecosystem on Mars.
1P133516670EFF0830P2218R7M1.JPG.html bunny
It now appears that Mars had a civilization and perhaps still has although it would have to have gone underground or moved.
This brings up the possibility that we are Martians, or they are hiding on Planet Earth or aboard some large orbiting space ships. I freely admit these ideas are rather amazing, but with reasonable certainty that life on Mars exists we now know that at least two planets in our solar system has life. Astronomers have found over a hundred solar systems, and believe that at least half have earth like planets. Therefore, there is likely several hundred civilizations in our area of universe. Our sun is relatively young, and most likely these civilizations are much older than our own, and many may have the capability for visiting us. We regularly receive 400 UFO reports per month. To escape from the gravity of Mars to reach Earth is relatively simple and could have been accomplished by reaching a speed of about 10,000 mph.
There are billions of stars much older than the Sun in our galaxy; and therefore many other planet’s civilizations including Mars were likely millions or at least hundreds of thousands of years ahead of us. The typical alien intelligence would be orders of magnitude more intelligent than us. Apes don't know much about our human civilization and we know little about the intelligent species visiting earth. London Control asked my crew to investigate a huge UFO over England, I was able to pick it up on my aircraft radar so I have first hand knowledge that other intelligent species exist in our universe.
I receive a steady stream of emails from respected scientists who see evidence of a Mars eco-system.
Mars was colonized before earth as Carl Sagan told us in his book, “Intelligent Life in the Universe.” Mars was once humid and had abundant water and oxygen to support life. The Sumerians tell us they were taught civilization by Oannes and other aliens from space. The Soviet scientist Alexander Kazantsev insists that highly advanced creatures from Mars have visited Earth many times until the present day.
New York – Disc Spins By
CANANDAIGUA – A couple was talking in their driveway on March 27, 2004, at 6:30 PM, and a disc shaped spinning object caught their eye. The disc was moving very fast and then shot straight up in the sky. It made a "zing" sound. The disc was in sight for a few seconds and then disappeared. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter
New Jersey - UFO and Abduction Investigation
NEW BRUNSWICK -- A noiseless, rotating cluster of shiny metal-like objects was seen floating at a slow steady pace over a chapel on Rutgers University. The witness noticed an object rising in the distance from the direction of the river and Route 18 on March 26, 2004, at 6:15 PM. It had an irregular shape, like a plastic bag floating in a significant breeze. As the object kept rising, it moved closer to the witness at a slow pace. He states, “I watched it until it was directly overhead, and flying about twice as high as the church steeple.” It seemed to be a cluster of metal objects which were very shiny and appeared to have shapes like large flat letters (N? S?)
It looked like a cluster of mixed metal chairs or picture frames about ten feet in diameter rotating as it flew south. As it passed overhead it made no noise. By the time I rounded the church, it was very far in the distance beyond the library. I pointed it out to a student and we watched together as it continued to rise and move farther south, rotating all the while. Thanks to Peter Davenport
Mullica Hill - Investigator: Evelyn Galson, reports she has more data concerning a possible abductee, Ann Francis. About five years ago when Ann was outside near her swimming pool one night, she saw an object flying above her. It was an oblong oval and it was huge. She could see that the stars were being blocked by the hovering unidentified object that was dark underneath. Fourteen years ago on Route 322 in Williamstown, N.J. Ann saw a silver ship with a dome shaped top. It had landed in a field across from an Asphalt Plant.
One day Ann was having an argument with her husband and she was getting very upset, in frustration she threw up her arms and when she did the TV blew up. Ann has found bruises on her arms after an abduction and sometimes there were bruises on her hips towards the back. One day Ann woke up and her arm and face on the right side were red, as if she was out in the sun too long. Seventeen years ago, Ann remembers being on a space ship and saw children around the ages of 12 or 13 years. She said they looked part human and part alien. Their eyes were slightly too big, they were pale and gaunt faced with high cheek bones. She believes they are hybrids. Ann said that in five generations of her family, there was only one child born to a family and it was a boy.
Interesting, her step-father was present during the famous Carteret, N.J. sighting and most other members of her family have seen UFOs. One month after her daughter was born. Ann remembers seeing lights moving in the woods behind her house in the evenings. In conclusion, Ann was taught how to control her heart rate and how to put herself into a relaxed state of mind, in order to remember more of her experiences. As she remembers more of her experiences and relates them to me, I will put them in my next report. Thanks to: Investigator: Evelyn Galson
Pennsylvania - Brilliant Rectangle UFO
LANCASTER – The witness reports seeing a rectangle shaped light on March 28, 2004, at 11:10: PM, that was bright but "fuzzy." It appeared in the west, came closer and then shot straight up vertically until out of sight. It all happened in about 8 seconds, and it really moved fast. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter
Virginia -- A Metallic Oval Object
PORTSMOUTH -- There was one craft, that looked like a metallic oval shaped balloon with a cone shape on the underside on March 28, 2004, at 4:45 PM. , It moved across the sky in a smooth rapid speed and then suddenly stopped and hovered. At that point we moved behind a building for 15 seconds and by the time we got on the other side it was gone. The sky was open for miles in many directions but it disappeared. There was an airline jet in the background coming in for a landing at ORF and a bird in closer, so it couldn't have been that high in the air. It was very visible and looked exactly like the #44 photo at: (http://www.ufoevidence.org/Photographs/Photo44.htm. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter
Georgia – Flying Triangle Investigation
DULUTH --David Brown SSD Field Investigator reports he interviewed a lady who had seen a large flying triangle glide by on January 7, 2004, at 7:30 PM. While returning home she noticed an extremely bright white light originating in the northwest directly under the bright moon. As the object approached the witness saw that the craft was not a conventional aircraft as it glided by the driver’s side of the vehicle. The object was a huge triangular object the size of one to one and a half football fields in length. (450 feet). The sighting lasted about five minutes and when she returned home she called the Gwinnett and Duluth Georgia Police Departments. She also contacted the Channel 11 local news and MUFON. The object was flying at 130 feet just above the tree tops and moving at 40 mph. The speed was determined as the object kept pace with her vehicle and she had looked at her speedometer that was reading 40 mph.
The large wing was sharp gray/silver and had four
extremely large, white protruding lights similar to
fluorescent tubes surrounded by what appeared
as suction cups. She followed the object and
noticed it began to ascend to the northeast and
banked sharply back to the northwest and she
could see the underside more clearly. Her radio
was playing and the craft did not effect electrical
parts of the vehicle or her radio. Dobbins Air
Reserve Base is 25 miles to the northwest. Dobbins
Information Offices were contacted but they provided
no information. There are no known military craft
that match this description although experimental
lighter than air craft may perform as described by
the witness. The craft is labeled as an unknown.
Editor’s Note: I wish to thank Tom Sheets GAMUFON State Director and David Brown SSD for their excellent work.
Florida – Three Moving Lights
NAPLES -- Sitting on the beach on March 28, 2004, at 10:50 PM, a couple saw a bright light flash on the horizon as if it was signaling a light up north towards Sanibel Island. The northern light glowed bright enough to see a reflection in the water and then all of the sudden it slowly split into three glowing objects. One went right and one went left leaving the original duller light in the same place. The light on the right went faster and flew out of sight. The one on the left stopped and returned to the original light and made it glow. At that moment the one on the horizon blinked again. The north light disappeared leaving a dark spot. After four minutes the light on the horizon blinked again and the light to the north reappeared. It glowed so bright this time that we compared it to the full moon because the reflection on the water. The light then split into three objects again and formed a triangle. The northern light moved across the sky slowly then darted out of sight. At that point we left the beach and told my friend’s parents. UFOcenter
BRADENTON -- On March 26, 2004, at 7:50 PM, while trying to find the five planet alignment near the moon, a father and his 13 year old son noticed two saucers rapidly heading east towards them over the Palma Sola Bay. The almond-shaped saucers appeared to be racing one another, side by side, but sometimes crossed each others paths. They were quite large, without lights or sound and grayish in color and had a haze surrounding them.. When they were positioned just under the moon, they turned sharply and headed south. It looked like they briefly slowed down over the baseball park lights and then headed southbound. When they were side by side, they were in identical formation.
Once or twice when they crossed in front of each other, but quickly went side by side again. We watched them head south bound until we could not see them any longer from our balcony. The sky was quite clear, 72 degree temperature with a light breeze coming off of the bay. There were some distant planes flying but none moved as fast. They were much larger than a plane at 40 thousand feet and flew as low as 20 thousand feet. They darted up and down and horizontally directly in front of us for less than a minute and then darted over towards the baseball park and seemed to almost stop for thirty seconds. Then, they sharply flew north, then took a serious turn and headed south very quickly. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter
Ohio - Bright Lights
CHESAPEAKE – A couple saw a line of hovering lights in the sky on March 28, 2004, at 9:30 PM. They live near a landing strip, so it is not unusual to see planes around. They stated, “This did not look like a plane, my girlfriend had been watching the object and said that the lights on the object changed formation.” I did not catch that, but I did see the three lights aligned in a straight line. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter
Nebraska – Pilot Sees UFO
OMAHA – This report is from an air traffic controller for Minneapolis Center, that reported on March 25, 2004, at 1900 hours the pilot of an air carrier that was under my control reported two flights of two aircraft. There were no other aircraft in the vicinity at the time. He said they were 15 miles in front of him at 35,000 feet traveling away from him in a westerly direction. The UFO's stayed out in front of his aircraft for fifteen minutes until the pilot said that the UFO's were so far out in front of him that he could hardly see them anymore. After being relieved of my duties I reported to my supervisor who put me in contact with the Military Air Defense. The person at the other end of the phone said that they saw no objects in the area of this aircraft. Thanks to Peter Davenport
((NUFORC Note: The FAA Air Traffic Controller, and his supervisor confirmed that no radar returns were visible! PD))
Montana – Two Saucers
PLAINS -- On March 27 6:23 PM, the witness reports that he and Jumbo saw two oval shaped and brightly lit saucers flying south overhead. They were large metallic disks with lights flying above our heads. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter
California – UFO Photographed
MODESTO – R. David Anderson writes, “I am continuing to see UFO's at my place of residence and I got a couple of pictures yesterday that are similar to the ones I took last weekend. Something flashed in my eyes as I was looking between two trees where I have taken photos earlier. It was an intense flash of light that left a strong after image on my eye. I have never before encountered anything like this. I shot one around 4 PM, with my new 4.3 digital camera. I saw the UFO to the north flying at about 30 mph and it was probably about 250 feet high. I picked up the camera and began to take pictures, following its movement as it went from the northern sky to the eastern sky in about 45 seconds.
Thanks to R. David Anderson.
Canada --Two Round Discs
CALGARY – On March 28, 2004, at 5:10 PM, the witness looking into the sky at the Confederation driving range was watching a ball when he saw the first object moving across the sky at a high rate of speed. He pointed it out to two friends and they all tracked it. As they watched it move across the sky - they noticed a second one in front of it. They were moving at such an incredible rate of speed that they simply vanished into the distance. The witness states, “The two objects were circular in shape and had a silver metallic color to them.”
Thanks to Brian Vike, Director HBCC Research. email: hbccufo@telus.net Website: http://www.hbccufo.com
UK/England - Dark Shape
HARWICH, ESSEX – The witness was driving home from the shops and his girl friend said, “Look” as she is pointed to an object not to far away. It was March 29, 2004, at 11:15: PM, when they got a glimpse of dark bubbly shaped craft. It looked like it had different round pods or parts, and was just showing through the low clouds. My girl friend got a really good look and she was freaked out, because she doesn’t believe in UFO's. When we stopped the car it had gone. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter
Turkey – Governor Deputy Videos UFO
Adana -- Milliyet Newspaper reports that Caner Yildiz, the Governor Deputy of Adana, had seen a luminous object in the sky on April 1, 2004, at 9:04 PM. He states, “First I thought it was a bright star that I had never seen before, so I started to record it on my camera for about 20 minutes.” “It was moving very fast, sometimes zigzagging; becoming bigger and smaller,” he said. "The bottom part was dark, and the upper part was white with sharp projecting points which resembled honeycombs. It would disappear when observed with the naked eye then would appear again. On the camera, it would look as small as a pin top then in 2-3 seconds it would grow as big as an orange. It looked like a flying saucer". Chairman Haktan Akdogan and the Sirius UFO Space Sciences Research Center has concluded this was a UFO”. The footage will be studied at Cukurova University. Thanks to Esen Sekerkarar MUFON Representative for Turkey esensk@superonline.com
Zone Of Exclusion
Jeff Challender – Director Project P.R.O.V.E. writes, “There is a place on the far side of the world, which NASA refers to as the “Z.O.E.”, or Zone Of Exclusion. This is an area in which NASA claims there is no communication with spacecraft. This despite the presence of a US Space Command Base on the Island of Diego Garcia, and a Tracking Data and Relay Satellite (TDRS-3) in a Geosynchronous orbit high above.
The so called Zone of Exclusion using evidence from NASA itself, is a myth. The previous lack of communication facilities there was rectified as early as March 1994. Over the last two years, I have noticed that during at least one Shuttle flight in June 2002, and on two separate occasions involving the International Space Station in February 2004, NASA has established zones of exclusion in unusual locales. During the flight of STS-111, in June 2002, one of these inexplicable zones was declared by a NASA television commentator to be just a few hundred miles due east of the New Jersey seashore where it was in range of Wallops Island, Cape Canaveral, and the Bahamas Tracking Station.
The stated reason for this was that Endeavour was “Out of Range” of the NASA communications network. No hardware malfunction or antenna shadowing, but OUT OF RANGE! To this writer, that seems to be impossible! During the flight of STS-92 in October 2000, the television equipment aboard failed some seven hours into the flight. What little television was made available to the public on that mission was relayed in part from Wallops Island. Now, let us fast forward to 2004. The date was the 19th of February, and the ISS crew was preparing for bed. As is often done to fill these times when the crew is unavailable for live TV, a videotape of the previous day’s activities was being run. The time was approximately 10:28 AM CST, when the commentator announced that the station had gone “OUT OF RANGE” of the NASA communications network. In almost the same breath, he also informed us that ISS was orbiting at about 240 statute miles over EASTERN CANADA. Here are the exact words of the NASA commentator.
“At this hour, as the International Space Station flies at about two hundred and forty miles over uh Eastern Canada, the station is outside of the range of communication with uh the flight control teams, and uh, but is expected to uh move back into communications uh shortly." As one can see, this is not an ambiguous statement. The announcer is very clear that this is not an issue with malfunctioning equipment, or “dish shadowing.” He clearly states that ISS is “Out Of Range”. The region, which includes the east coast, and upper mid-western states of the US, is replete with ground facilities. There is also the Atlantic TDRS in easy reach from this location. Why did NASA pass this falsehood on to the viewing public? Finally, there was one more recent case of the same sort of inexcusable lie. During the ISS space walk of 26 February 2004, ISS was flying over the ground station based in Hawaii when the announcer stated that, ISS had passed “Out Of Range” of the communications network! How can this be? The Hawaiian station is capable of handling any form of ISS signal, be it radio, telemetry, or TV.

Everything Has Changed
Life on Mars Changes Everything - Mars Rock With 'O A O' Letters, Evolution in Crisis, Mars - More Writing on Ejecta, Asteroids Could Destroy Earth, New Jersey - Orbs, Pennsylvania - White Diamond, Florida - Oval, Virginia - Image of Diamond UFO, Michigan – Funnel, Ohio – Flying Rectangles, Indiana –Saucer, Illinois – Flying Triangle, Tennessee – Florescent Disc, Arizona - Reddish Light, Nevada – Giant Flying Caterpillar, California - Blue Object, Washington - Fireball and Smoke,
Canada - Heavy UFO Activity, Malaysia - Disc, Philippines - Disk, and Australia - Oval UFO's Down Under.
The Detection of Life on Mars Could Change Everything. There are serious flaws in the Theory of Evolution and the Big Bang theory. What we think we know now is in trouble because, we have ignored the reality of life on Mars, Unidentified Flying Objects in our skies, and life in space. Watching and video taping UFO's indicates that they probably use other dimensions and our universe is much larger than just what we can see. Also, now that we have the virtual certainty that intelligent life once lived on Mars, life likely exists through out the universe and new theories should be considered.
My new Theory of Tranplantetation simply states that life moves or is transported from one planet to another. This may be accomplished by transportation aboard meteorites, space dust or even space ships. Noah’s arc may be the story of animals and alien intelligence brought to earth. Meteorite impacts and extinction's may not be accidental. It is my opinion that because of the complexity of life, there must be a creator and designer. Additionally, there is energy in space that can be used for the benefit of mankind.
Rock With 'A O A' Written On It.
A professional photographer, BC, has sent me an image of a "croc" rock that appears to have an "A" an "O" and another "A" on them when seen from a distance by the Nav cam. On closer examination there are numerous darker numbers and symbols going on there, too. I searched and found a closer image from the better Pan cam and the rock doesn't even look like the same one in many respects. The Nav cam shows a rather smooth sided with rounded features rock and the Pan cam shows a rock with cupped out sharp fragmented features. There are no larger letters apparent here as in the "E" rock which showed letters plainly. However, after scaling up and looking closer I see darker letters and numbers again. So I think that I can conclude that NASA is using some kind of "Watermark" program on their images. If you look under the filter drop down menu in Photoshop at the bottom you will see Digimarc listed.
Image thanks to JPL.
It is one kind of program that will place hidden numbers and letters into images for identification. It does this by matching the background and distorting the letters and numbers and fitting them around pixels shapes or natural features in the image. They are nearly invisible and are used for copyrighting. We are scaling these up enough to see the watermarks. Now I don't think the "E" rock is in that category as the letters were too big. But this watermark may be enough to make us think that there are unknown symbols and distorted letters on the rocks. The only other conclusion would be that NASA is changing the rocks in the clasps by Photoshopping out the letters. It could be done. I put together a full color of the Croc rock and the color was as wacky as it gets with the scene all pink and the tops of the rocks pure blue. I don't believe that for a minute. The above rock can be found on Spirit Sol 75/76 Pan cam and Nav cam.
Evolution in Crisis
The new evidence of intelligent life on Mars creates a situation where everything we know suddenly comes into question. Martian civilization is communicating with us through the remarkable structures, symbols and sculptors it has left behind. We now have grounds for our belief, of clear visible conspicuous evidence that Mars in the past had life similar to our own. Science has yet to explain how, why, when and where life began. Theory of Evolution is the basis for biology and states all species of plants and animals developed from earlier forms by hereditary transmissions of slight variations or mutations in successive generations. Evolution states, our ancestors began in the primordial soup billions of years ago and we gradually evolved or mutated into human form. This requires thousands if not millions of gradual progressions and mutations to develop from one cell life forms to eventually develop into humans.
When I took college biology they were still looking for the missing links and progressive steps but not one verified the thousands of missing links that have been found. In 1859, Charles Darwin developed his theory and declared that we descended from the apes, yet in 150 years the missing link has not been found. Species change, and various types of cats or dogs have been bred from comparatively tiny ones to huge ones, but they still remain within their species. With similar life believed to exist on Mars, a new world of biology is opening up to us with the knowledge that similar life exists on Mars and likely traveled from one planet to another either by asteroids or space ship. We have located images of large cats, deer, bison, scorpion, lizard, and snake like organisms on Mars. Additionally, dozens of faces that include the young and old, male and female.
Even at the molecular level we have a highly ordered hierarchic system. Each class at the molecular level is unique, isolated and unlinked by intermediates.
On Mars, we have found intelligent life with the ability to make symbols, create statues, dam rivers and build structures. This was not done by chance but by design. The Martian engineers and sculptors were not there by accident, they had a creator/designer/or maker of some type as do we. The creation of homo-sapiens and Martians exhibits vast complexity and we must therefore conclude our creation was the result of intelligent activity. The concept of change caused by accidental mutations over millions of years does not explain the complexity of all higher forms of animal life.
Perhaps we have to look to the wisdom of the ancients to explain the real truth of the heredity and descent of man. The Egyptian Book of the Dead, and India's Ramayana and Mahabharata, the Bible, and Sumerian writing all indicate Earth was visited by extraterrestrials. Mars was repeatedly pelted with meteorites, the ejecta kept piling up leaving a blanket of debris and the Martians likely came to realization their planet was doomed. They had to go underground or move to another planet. The closest and easiest to reach would be Earth.
Perhaps, it is time for biologists to turn to the wisdom of others to explain the origin of man. In February, I visited the Hopi Indian Store next to the Grand Canyon and was told Hopi legends tell us that a planet Mukluk between Mars and Jupiter was devastated and survivors from neighboring Mars had to abandon the Red Planet and emigrate to Earth probably bringing plants and animals. It is time to realize that you and I were not the result of evolution, but are here by design and are the creations of our creator that bought the spark of life to Earth.
Perhaps, the most intelligent Greek who ever lived reverently supported the concept of alien life. Plato, like the Sumerians, Egyptians, Hindus, Japanese, and many American Indian tribes all believe in a golden age when Earth was ruled by the gods and superhuman beings from space. The Japanese Mikado claims space people visited Japan. Many Chinese believe in space visits and thousands of years ago the Chinese isolated hormones and by acupuncture wrought cures. The building of the Great Pyramid in the exact center of the world’s land mass infers an aerial survey more than 3000 years ago.
The New English Bible states "When mankind began to increase and to spread all over the earth and daughters of men were born to them, the sons of gods saw that the daughters of men were beautiful so they took to themselves such women as they chose." Genesis 6-1&2.
Evolutionists tell us that someday they will find the missing links. I suggest that life came from space. Sir Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramsinghe “In Evolution From Space” provide and estimate of the chance of life originating, assuming functional proteins to have a probability of 10 -20.12. They feel that panspermia the seeding of life from space is much more likely than evolution. Tons of material comes from space each day and settles on earth. We get over 400 UFO reports a month in the United States from concerned citizens. It's time to realize our Earth has been visited by intelligent life for thousands, if not millions, of years.
Mars - More Writing on Ejecta
Kim Shaffer a life long sculptor who has worked all his life with stone writes, “Here is a large piece of ejecta photographed by the Spirit rover which I have enhanced and found quite interesting. It also raises more questions than it answers. Note a remarkable feature on the right central portion of this stone. It appears as a letter "T" and appears in raised relief. There can only be three possible explanations for this feature. One being that it is an extremely bizarre inclusion, two, it is a fossil, or three, it was carved there by some type of intelligence. To the central portion of this same stone, when enhanced, clearly there is a "crown" shape with forms above appearing as 'W O 1 F' perhaps wolf. While this is also remarkable and appears as a raised relief, it possibly could be another fossil, light aberration or in fact could be "as seen." I question a few things as far as JPL is concerned. These folks are seeing these anomalies just as we are, yet they have yet to take a second or close-up picture of any of them. Are they hiding something from us? Are they presenting these "anomalies" to fuel the conspiracy mill? As far as I am concerned, I have not been convinced that an intelligence may have actually carved these things but I am certainly convinced that the whole story has yet to be told. Thanks to MUFON’s Kim Shaffer
Asteroids Could Destroy Earth
Astronomers claim there are asteroids out there, that could smack into the Earth and wipe out human civilization, but they are well on their way to finding every asteroid that poses a threat. Experts told the Senate subcommittee on Science, Technology and Space that they are on schedule to finding everything bigger than 1 kilometer in diameter that might hit the Earth and destroy a city... "Since 1998, more than 700 objects have been discovered, and is over 70 percent complete.
NASA's Lindley Johnson told the hearing. There have been a few scares. Last September, scientists spotted asteroid "2003 QQ47" and first measurements suggested it could hit the Earth on March 21, 2014, with an explosion the size of 20 million atomic bombs. But the forecast was revised: It won't hit, after all. A small asteroid is believed to have leveled 400 square miles of Siberian forest in 1908. "Although the probability of the Earth being hit by a large object in this century is low, a defense against such an occurrence would be to use The Space Shuttle's main engines for 20 years to deflect a 1 kilometer object away from a projected collision, Using a nuclear bomb might make matters worse because the pieces of the blown-up asteroid would stay in the same orbit and eventually come back together again. The next task will be to find smaller objects that could do considerable damage. Thanks to Bruce
New Jersey - Orbs
SOUTH PLAINFIELD – The 32 year old witness was passing over the Driscoll Bridge on the Garden State Parkway on April 5, 2004, at 11:45 PM when he spotted a sphere type orange ball of light. The object banked left and proceeded to accelerate upwards into some high level clouds and then out of site rather quickly. Thanks to Peter Davenport
Pennsylvania - White Diamond
ERIE – On April 7, 2004 from 9:30 to 11:00 PM, the witness saw in the northwest sky an extremely bright white light like a diamond would sparkle. At times it also seemed to shift, for a second or so, to a slight reddish color and then back to white. It was at least ten times that of the biggest star in the sky. There seamed to be small dot shaped, orangish – reddish in color, “balls, disks” in the surrounding area of the light. They numbered perhaps eight or ten. They were perfectly round with no extending light beyond the actual shape.
Then, I saw two of the white balls move away at a fairly fast speed. The one followed the other in exact formation space and distance from the other. They continued moving away changing to orange and finally disappeared. At one point approximately 30 minutes after I first saw the light it dropped lower in the sky, just a little, the reason I noticed this was because it was now just slightly below the tree line. By 11 PM, it was gone. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter
Virginia - Image of Diamond UFO
FRANKLIN COUNTY -- Don sent me an image of a diamond shaped UFO over the countryside taken towards the Appalachian Mountains on April 8, 2004. In late afternoon, about 5:45 PM, there was a gorgeous double rainbow after a rainstorm near the Blue Ridge Parkway twenty miles south of Roanoke. Don took five images of the rainbow in several minutes and one contained the UFO. Neither he nor his friend saw the UFO. Thanks to Don.
Florida - Oval
LAKELAND -- My parents called and told me they saw a UFO on April 4, 2004, at about 1 PM. My Dad said it hovered for about 45 seconds and then it was gone. He said the object was like a cigar with the ends rounded. He said right after that a jet flew over their car. Both my parents told the same story. I have to believe its true coming from them. UFOcenter
BRANDON – The witness was heading for home on April 3, 2004, at 6:45 PM, in her truck and noticed the moon had just risen. The sun was not yet touching the horizon when I saw what I first thought was Venus. However, this was NOT Venus because it was very pure white, oval shaped object about 1/2 the size of a full moon. It looked to be over the Gulf of Mexico. It seemed very high in the sky and did not move, it just glowed. At this point I pulled over on the side of the road so I could watch it uninterrupted. As the sun lowered, the object went from an oval to more of a triangle with softened corners. As the last of the sun went below the horizon, the object faded away right before my eyes. Could it be the reflection of something? Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter
Michigan – Funnel
TROY -- The object at times looked like funnel shaped cloud on April 5, 2004, at 7 PM, It was very fuzzy and sounded almost like a hurricane was coming. I have lived here for less then a year and so many of these things have happened. This is the first time I have seen what I have heard. I saw these objects at least a dozen times. I watched for at least 10 minutes and they periodically came back into view. They were very high up and as high as planes usually fly, the one's with the smoke following them. I think these were UFO's. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter
OHIO – Flying Rectangles
FOSTORIA-- Susan Holderman writes, “I had the most exciting moment of my life today while driving home from Tiffin on Route 18, coming out of Bascom on my way to Fostoria at 3:40 PM. I was entering the small town and could see the highway and sky ahead of me where the town ends. Coming from the left, were two huge identical planes one behind the other. They were huge, long, thin rectangular shapes with no windows, or markings to be seen with a square "rudder" shaped appendage standing up from the back of them. They were descending very smoothly, noiselessly toward an open field on the right.
I was thinking, "where in the world were they landing?" From the middle of the town, they filled up the space where I could see the sky at the end of town. This is the first time I have actually seen anything so detailed, so close, and so big and in the daytime yet! When I got to the edge of town and could see the open field, there was absolutely nothing there at all, in the sky or in the field, no where! They just disappeared! These were so huge that they could have been seen for a mile at least and did not appear to be going fast, actually just gliding along on a descent! I know the other people on the road with me saw them too. I kept watching the guy behind me as we left the town and his head was turning all over the place like mine, trying to figure out where they went. He talked on his cell phone all the way to Fostoria. Some of George Ritter’s photos look similar to what I saw. What a RUSH! I am so excited! Thanks to Susan Holderman.

Indiana –Saucer With Six Lights
ROCHESTER – The witness spotted a saucer like shape that had six lights at 10 PM, on April 8, 2004. The lights were big and looked like stadium lights. There were three lights in a row then a six foot gap and three more lights. The lights were on for l5-20 seconds then off for another l5-20 seconds, and back on. The craft was still in the same place. As the lights were going off for the second time, the craft started slowing moving northeast. Then, the lights went out and the craft was gone. The craft hovered over the tree tops and was not on the ground. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter
Illinois – Flying Triangle
CHAMPAIGN -- Early on April 4, 2004, a couple went to look at the stars and around 1 AM, a group of lights came from the southwest and passed directly over them going northeast. There were about eight lights arranged into a sort of triangular shape, although it may have been more of an X. It was hard to tell exactly because the lights were spinning around. Whatever, it was moving pretty fast because it only took about six seconds to cross the sky. In this time, it made at least three rotations tumbling across the sky in a straight line. They were moving as if they were part of the same object. It was difficult to estimate size and altitude, but it was about 10 degrees across the length of your fist at arm’s length. They were both pretty jumpy and left. Other friends of ours saw something odd and it seems we saw the same thing. They saw it from the side, from the 11th floor of their building; and said it was really low in the sky. They thought it was probably about 75-100 feet in length. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter
Tennessee – Florescent Disc
JOHNSON COUNTY -- MUFON’s Kim Shaffer writes, On April 3, 2004, I received a call from a gentleman who was very excited about an object he and another witness saw at 17:30 hours a "florescent light bulb" high in the sky. There were aircraft in the vicinity leaving condensation trails, well below the observed object that was stationary and holding horizontally, it's very high position. As the planes passed, the object turned slowly vertically and ascended higher into the sky and out of sight. The witnesses were adamant that this was a solid object. I contacted the local FAA office and inquired as to where there had been any pilot reported anomalous objects but received no conformation.
KNOXVILLE -- Kim Shaffer, received a call from another truck driver who witnessed a metallic disc on I-40 just east of Knoxville on the afternoon of April 8, 2004. Witness reported that the disc paced his truck and was quite large, (relative size was that of a silver dollar) reflective and seemed to rock side to side as it moved in a straight path. Witness stated that the object moved behind some trees and he anticipated seeing it again when he and the object passed the trees, but when he got past the trees the disc did not reappear.

Arizona - Reddish Light
BULLHEAD CITY, and LAUGHLIN, NV – A couple were driving home on April 9, 2004, at 8:05 PM, when they noticed a fairly bright light on an object directly in front of them to the north. What appeared to be the wing of the craft was illuminated by the bright singular light of the object as if in a hard bank. So the "wing" was straight up and down and was not hiding the large singular light, nor was it affecting the intensity of the light. At this time, my wife called her mother and had her look from her location which was only a few blocks away north of our position. She attempted to get her video camera set up, but was unable to do so during the short time span. It was no more than five miles away and made no sound. There was no wind, yet the object looked as if it were drifting in a large circle hung from a cable from high above. It appeared to keep the same altitude as it drifted east and west pivoting in circles.
It would slow as it reached the edge of its circular pivot. This was no flare and there was no smoke and it didn't do a good job illuminating the ground. It was like a hot air balloon dangling a light below it. The single light was much brighter and ten times larger than Venus, the evening star, which was present just to the west. The light was a dim reddish color that tended to flicker slightly. When the object disappeared, the light simply went out as if you flipped a switch. I can't explain the cable or the "wing" structure above the light. I'm a trained observer, and work security for the Federal Government. I've never seen a "UFO" before. This object was seen by many others and Laughlin Airport is five miles away but it was not an aircraft. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter
Nevada – Giant Flying Caterpillar
LAS VEGAS – A giant dark brown caterpillar-like object wiggled its way across the sky on April 4, 2004, at 3:45 PM. The high floating caterpillar floated slowly northwest writhing its body at a rather high altitude. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter
California - Low Flying Blue Object
FAIR OAKS –- The witness was driving back to work at noon with his fiancé on April 9, 2004. Near the Sunrise Bridge over the American River, the witness noticed a low flying light blue airplane almost like the sky that he thought was going to crash because it was flying so low. Suddenly it was gone. We looked in the sky all over for it but it disappeared. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter
Washington - Fireball and Smoke
VASHON ISLAND – The witness noticed a huge meteor heading west, away from his home on April 7, 2004, at 7:45 PM. It had the standard looking orange flame surrounding a red/black core. I called my Mom out to watch with me. Within five minutes the object had dulled to a soft glow. The sunset is about 8:15 here now but the object was still highly visible. The light then completely extinguished and the object turned more northerly, toward the Olympic Mountains. As it fell, dark black smoke trailed behind it. It wasn't falling quickly, like a shooting star, but as a "regular" plane would fly. This was not a plane as it turned in more of a direct shift. The news didn't report anything about the flame or smoke. SEA-TAC airport is across the bay. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter
Canada – Heavy UFO Activity
BIBLE HILL, NOVA SCOTIA -- The following sighting was reported to Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The witness a 24 years old, and 3rd year science student noticed two objects at a high altitude, almost parallel, one lagging slightly behind the other traveling in a northern direction at 12:35 AM, on April 11, 2004. They were moving very fast and were very faint, much less so than the stars. They were much larger than an airplane and not blinking. The lagging object sped up to reach the other and then, as if playing a game, cris crossed a number of times. This happened really quickly and then they faded out of sight.
NEW WESTMINSTER, BC – On April 4, 2004, at midnight the witness spotted two cigar shaped UFOs that flew horizontally traveling north with bright red fireball heads and long bright yellow tails. The two objects flew parallel to each other at fairly low level at a steady pace staying beside each other for two seconds before they disappeared! There was no sputter, fading or smoking – they just disappeared! I've never seen anything like this before in my life.
SURREY, BC – On April 7, 2004, at 9:45 PM, the witness, a pilot, saw three lights rapidly approaching from the west in a triangle formation, at '12 o'clock low.' The object between the lights was solid and triangular and when the object banked north, the angular relationship between the lights was consistent with the banking of an aircraft. However, this was no ordinary aircraft. It moved completely silently and covered half the horizon that is from Surrey to the North Shore Mountains in about four seconds. I am guessing the altitude at 2000 - 3000 feet, and the brightness of the lights of the object relative to the brightness of passing aircraft lights at within 7000 feet. I felt it could not be man-made. The flight path of the object was directly over the approach path to YVR.
VERNON, BC -- On April 8, 2004, at around 11 PM, in the western sky, a gold object with red underneath, left a short bright yellow gold trail and slowed down before the horizon. Time was about 3 seconds. A shooting star leaves long trails, and a meteor increases speed before impact, or burns out leaving smoky trails. This sighting had neither one of these behaviors. It was something different. Thanks to Brian Vike, Director HBCC UFO Research
Malaysia - Disc
KUALA LUMPUR – The witness reports, “I poked my head through my 5th floor window April 08, 2004, about 7 PM, to invite my friend who lives upstairs to eat dinner with me. Suddenly I noticed a black eagle like object which was hovering close by. It was a black disc-shaped UFO. It floated at the same attitude going forward. I pointed it out to my friend and he thought it was the so-called UFO too. We looked carefully at it as it slowly hovered, just like helicopters. I estimated it to be about 100 meters from the ground and about the size of a car. It made no sound. The disc flew in a very unique way, it flew like something injured, because it sloped 45 degree to the left then right then left again as it traveled along. If it was flown by humans, they would easily be affected by nausea in such aircraft. I noticed a red light flashing at the back of the craft. The atmosphere near it was a little lighter than normal, maybe due to shimmering. It disappeared in the distance. Thanks to Brian Vike CANADA HBCC
Philippines - Disk
VICTORIAS CITY-- The witness spotted a disk type object with a very bright light and a low sound on April 7, 2004, at 9 PM. We heard a sound like many people talking. The color of the light of that object changed to blue, red, violet, and orange. After fifteen minutes it departed. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter
Australia - Oval UFO's
COOMA - The witness was sitting on the front porch of his
home with some friends drinking argile on April 7, 2004,
at 11:44 PM. Suddenly we saw a flash of light, then a
series of flashing lights for about twenty seconds. They
spotted eight oval shaped objects with white and blue
flashing lights. They hovered in the distance for another
minute and then flew across the sky like ravenous demons,
leaving a red haze trail of smoke behind. As they flew by,
over my home, our lights turned off and our cars would
not start and our radios were buzzing for about five minutes
after they were out of the vicinity. Being frightened by what
we saw, we called the police. They thought we were pranksters,
so we then decided to flee our homes and traveled to Sydney,
to stay in a populated area with our families where we knew
it would be safe. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter

ISS Astronauts See Possible UFO
Maria Thomé writes from Brazil, “I have something very interesting for you.” Last year, when astronaut ED LU was on the ISS on his mission with Yuri Malenchenko, he said the following:
”When flying on the ISS over the south of Australia,
after the sun had just set and when Mars was rising up,
through the atmosphere, he flew eastwards and turned
his attention to watching the ‘aurora’, when suddenly
he SAW a "flash of light" amidst the auroral curtains.”
It was a "small point" brighter than a typical star. It
lasted about 2 seconds and then he saw another flash
and then another, all together maybe 5 or 6 flashes
over a period of a minute or two. He said, “He never
before heard about those flashes coming from auroras...
And he later ruled out some explanations, but found
nothing that could explain what those "flashes" were?”...
So he was left (he and his Russian companion) with a
mystery up to now...Don't you think, he really SAW a UFO? Cosmic Greetings and Peace in all frontiers! Thanks to: Maria Thomé in Brazil
Jesus said, "In my Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you, for I go to prepare a place for you." John 14:2
Mars Face Comparison with Egyptian Headdress
Several people have noticed that some faces on Mars wear tall head dress or hats that are similar to Egyptian, Assyrian, Inca, or Mesopotamian head wear. David Grey sent this JPL image.

Connecticut – Flying Triangle
ENFIELD -- Coming out of the house last night, at 8 PM, on April 5, 2004, my right eye quickly caught a light, or lights off to the right. I looked up and saw a craft of some kind, so I quickly grabbed my camcorder that happened to be on my front seat. From this point on I have on video, its not the best, I tried to zoom in and out, and the camera didn’t like that in darkness. I took a couple of street lights but the craft has three triangle lights, with one in the center flashing. It was coming towards me over the homes. I followed it with the camera until it got to the end of the street, when I noticed another craft coming from the opposite way traveling towards us. The two met at the end of the street.
This other craft was flashing a white light and had stationary lights surrounding it just like the one I saw up close. I got into my truck to go look for them, but they had gone, but above the old town pool park, I saw both of them, hovering, almost fully cloaked. One wasn’t all the way cloaked, it's hard to explain, but to the right of the craft, it was lit up, just a little, and its lights were lower, then stronger. It was doing something while the other stayed stationary to its left. Finally the light went out, and both of them were cloaked, but each of the craft had one little light at each end, as if it was a distant star far off. The lights were on each side, with a certain distance apart, the other craft had the same lights barely visible, and they hovered just a little distance from the other.
The one on the left crossed over to the right moving towards me, and it starts to follow me as I am walking. I get inside my truck as it leaves, still cloaked.
I was roughly 35 yards away as I filmed the smaller craft that was a little smaller than a small airplane, that had three lights, one in the center, while the fourth was flashing a white light. A light was also being beamed out towards the other side. The craft went at a good pace; it traveled with one light as a leading part of the craft while the other two lights were on the sides. There was no sound. In the video, it goes behind telephone poles and phone lines. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter
Pennsylvania – Strange Lights
WILLIAMSPORT -- Lights high in the sky, too high to be radio tower lights, hovering for long time at 6:40 PM, on April 5, 2004. They were flickering red, blue, and bright white background. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter
North Carolina - White Silvery Cigar
LINCOLNTON – The witness saw a white silvery cigar shaped UFO at an estimated altitude of 15,000 feet, traveling at a high rate of speed heading due east at 6:40 PM, on April 1, 2004. Five minutes later a second object was seen traveling in the same direction and attitude. There were other aircraft in the same area and following the flight path for landing in Charlotte. There was no reflection off any of the aircraft and nothing out of the ordinary!! Both objects crossed the sky in less than a minutes time. These objects left no vapor trails and no noise was noticed. I am an aviation professional and have not experienced or seen anything that travels at this rate of speed or constructed in this cigar shape pattern. UFOcenter
MOCKSVILLE -- A bright light with a yellowish gold tint hovered over the tree line for a few minutes on April 4, 2004. The light went out at 11:20 PM, after a few minutes. Numerous planes were flying around the area at the time. This is the third time I have seen these lights in the last four months, but on these dates the lights did not go out, they would just move horizontally, stop, move forward, stop, move vertical, etc. There is never any sound and the light is always consistent in strength, never dimming until this event when it just "cut off". Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter
Florida – UFO sighting
LANTANA -- I was hoping you would be able to help me. I am not including my name for I which to remain anonymous however I would appreciate it immensely if you would be able to investigate a sighting I observed the other night. Besides myself there were six others who witnessed it. They included neighbors as well as two family members.
On Thursday, April 15, 2004, at 8:40 PM, We saw a circular object with flames bursting behind it which hovered low in the sky then shot up. I cannot say how fast it was going. It felt like it was going very slow which seemed odd. The peculiar thing it did not stay straight on a course but would zig zag back and forth. Finally, it just disappeared into the northeastern sky. Please contact me with any information regarding this sighting. Thanks to FL 33462
USAF Flying Saucer?
TAMPA - Jack Picket claims to have seen four flying saucers at Mac Dill Air Force Base in 1967. The craft had a high tail and were marked with X-perimental and were being destroyed in the salvage yard at Mac Dill AFB. I visited Mac Dill and Avon Park Air Force Bases and talked to numerous officers and enlisted men stationed there during this time period. None had seen any flying saucers at these bases. Below is an illustration of two the four disk aircraft Jack saw.
This excellent illustration is by Michael H. Schratt, Chuck Biddlecom
and Gino Marcomini. We are looking for anyone who can verify
or refute the story. The website www.usafflyingsaucers.com at gives details.
Wisconsin – Bright Light
HAZEL GREEN/BENTON -- I was on my way to pick up my 14 year old from work at a supper club at 6:40 PM, on April 1, 2004. I saw a very low bright light in the sky that was not moving. As I got closer, I noticed a bright red light but it was not flashing. I was right underneath it, but I was too afraid to stop and get out of my vehicle as I was alone at this point. I picked up my daughter and I went back the same way, my daughter looked off to the north and said "What is that"? There it was again, even lower in the sky, and moving. So I started to follow it northwest, but we lost it. We wondered if it could have been a small aircraft that had to make an emergency landing. Nothing was ever reported about an aircraft landing in the area. It was very low, and very bright.
MILWAUKEE – Nicolas writes, "I’m a 32 year old male who has an interesting story from almost 25 years ago to tell you.” I was a student at Good Hope School and on the day it happened I was there. A terrible “tornado” storm (the teacher blamed it on that) hit Milwaukee. But I swear no tornado in the urban area could have kicked up this much dust. We were in the duck and cover position for almost a half hour. In the middle of the total blackout, a girl named Renee Jones pointed at the clock. She had gotten up out of the duck and cover position and exclaimed” look its midnight!” as the clock said 12 PM. The sky was completely dark for at least a half hour. There was no sound and the closest tornado, a real rarity in the city, was 10 miles away. It is my contention that this was a very large space ship that blocked out the sun completely. I want to go for a ride! I wish it would come back. Sincerely Nicholas Jay Boyes
Ohio – UFO or Tanker
George Ritter writes, “Well, weird just keeps getting weirder here five miles west of Fostoria. On the 15th of April my friend Allan August came over to cut some trees. We were working when I turned around and saw what appeared to be an Air Force tanker complete with retracted boom with the small V shaped wings on the end. I thought it might be in trouble flying at only about five hundred feet in altitude. I said “Hey Augie take a look at this, it has four engines!” It was painted slate grey with no markings or windows or port holes. What was so amazing, this aircraft was going so slow, it wasn't going fast enough to stay aloft and was totally silent. There was no exhaust that we could see. Myself and Allan are both combat veterans and know what it sounds like when a jet comes over your position that low. I called the Sheriff's office and the local airport to see if anyone else had reported the craft, the deputy checked his log for the 15th from noon until 3 PM and said nothing was reported during that time and the airport said they had no traffic at all of that kind.

MOORSVILLE -- I was traveling south on state highway 67 south, just north of town when a silver disk about 10-12 feet in diameter at about 300 feet passed over my RAV4 at 6:40 PM, on April 1, 2004. It was moving from west to east at about (est. 100mph) at around a 3-5 degree upward angle. It looked to be only about 3-4 feet thick, no lights, no wings, no sound, and no smoke.

Tennessee – Arrowhead UFO
NEWPORT -- It was shaped somewhat like an arrowhead flying backwards, with what looked to be a head or knob on the front on April 5, 2004, at 11 PM. It didn't look mechanical, it was more like some kind of animal. It did not have extended wings like a bird of any kind, but seemed to have some sort of stubby wings which were part of the body, like a flying squirrel or some type of bat. They protruded out near the head, and tapered back to a point at the rear. The creature appeared to be around three feet from head to tail, & a little over 2 ft. wide at the shoulders. It was moving very fast in a straight line at an altitude of approx. 150 ft. I saw no method of propulsion such as wing movement. It just seemed to be gliding, but at a high rate of speed. It maintained level flight moving west where I eventually lost sight of it. Other details were a light brown color along the sides of the wings, like skin, with a dark body color, possibly dark brown or black. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter
Minnesota – Canadian Geese?
ST. PAUL – The witnesses live in a high rise in downtown and about 8:30 PM on April 1, 2004, they went out on their balcony to have a cigarette. The witness states, “My wife noticed a flying ‘V’ formation heading due south.” She pointed it out to me and we stared at it. Our initial thought was that it was a UFO, but as we observed for about three minutes we noticed that the formation metamorphosed into a sloppy looking "W." Then we saw a piece of it break off and go to the other side forming a lopsided "V" formation again. There was a cloud formation to the southeast that was slightly illuminated on the top as well.
My wife and I saw the exact same thing over downtown St. Paul, March 31, 2004, heading south around 8:30 PM. There is a large Canadian goose population around here. Typically we can see flocks flying south near the end of the evening. Based on our observation we thought that the "V" was a flock of geese flying at a higher than normal elevation and they were catching the last rays of light on their underbellies rather than a UFO. Again, we could be wrong. I have seen unexplained sights in the sky before but this was the first time I had ever seen an illuminated flying "V." In this particular instance though, I think that the sight we saw probably had a natural explanation. Thanks to

PERRY -- it was really big and it was glowing neon green when it stopped just above the Mc Creary Recreation Center on April 1, 2004, at 12:27 PM. Then, it started to spin making a soft pitch whine. Then, it started changing shapes and it started turning orange then red then back to green then after a few hours of that it just stopped and it almost was like it was going to fall out of the sky when it took off leaving a blue trail of something in the air. The craft turned white then made a sound somewhat like a gunshot being fired from a 12 gauge then it disappeared. Later, my friend and I went over there and we found this strange metal book but it won't open and it has strange writing on it. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter
Alabama – Plane Hits Unidentified Object
MOBILE REGISTER, staff Reporter Joe Danborn writes, “Federal investigators have determined that a single-engine delivery plane that crashed into Big Bateau Bay on Oct. 23, 2002, slammed into something 3,000 feet above the Mobile-Tensaw Delta moments earlier -- they're just not sure what it was. The highly unusual National Transportation Safety Board account points to unidentified red marks on the severely damaged nose and front belly of the plane as evidence that it hit another object in the air. The crash killed 54-year-old pilot Thomas J. Preziose of Mobile minutes after he took off from Downtown Airport. From Our Advertiser Agency officials "don't know of any other accident that we have in our files that states 'collision with an unknown object,'" said Keith Holloway, a spokesman for the NTSB, which investigates all domestic air accidents. "I've never seen a report like that," said Don Godwin, a veteran pilot and chief executive officer of Mid-Atlantic Freight, which owned the plane. "And it's very troubling to have something like this happen and not know what caused it. I know the family's upset, and understandably upset.
It's just a great thing that this kind of thing didn't happen to an airliner with a bunch of people on it." The report also notes that malfunctioning radar recording equipment hampered efforts to determine the exact cause of the accident. Moreover, an air traffic controller at Mobile Regional Airport apparently gave incorrect positions to Preziose about the location of a DC-10 in the area, according to the recently released report, officially called a finding of facts. A Federal Aviation Administration official at Mobile Regional Airport said Tuesday afternoon he wasn't aware of any equipment malfunctions. He deferred further comment to officials who had left for the day. The five-page report states that the FedEx DC-10 doesn't appear to have been involved in the collision; investigators examined it the day after the crash and found it unscathed. That lack of damage, however, deepens the mystery as to what happened to Preziose's Cessna 208B Cargomaster. Experienced pilot:
Preziose was a veteran pilot for the New York City Police Department and had been an instructor on the Cessna 208 for the Pan Am Flight Academy in Memphis, according to the report. He had worked for several months for Mid-Atlantic Freight, the company contracting with DHL, and had flown the same route numerous times. An autopsy revealed no drugs or alcohol in his system. The plane -- which had passed a routine FAA inspection a few days earlier, the report states -- disappeared from radar about 15 minutes of taking off from Mobile Downtown Airport at Brookley around 7:30 p.m. Flying under contract for the delivery company DHL Worldwide Express, it was bound for Montgomery bearing 420 pounds of business documents. About 10 minutes after takeoff, Preziose, using the call sign "Night Ship 282," switched from talking to the control tower at Brookley to the FAA tower at Mobile Regional Airport, a standard procedure, according to Bay Haas, executive director of the Mobile Airport Authority. His agency maintains and staffs the Brookley tower, while the FAA operates the Mobile Regional tower, he said. A DC-10 ahead: As Preziose climbed northeast through the overcast sky, relying on instruments to take him to his cruising altitude of 3,000 feet, the Mobile Regional controller alerted him to the presence of the DC-10, which was seven miles straight in front of him, flying at 4,000 feet and inbound for Brookley, according to a transcript of the chatter contained in the report. Preziose acknowledged it. A minute later, the controller told Preziose the DC-10, now just two miles from the Cessna, had crossed the smaller plane's path and remained at 4,000 feet. "Roger, I got him above me right now," Preziose replied, apparently confirming he saw the FedEx plane.
Seconds later, the report states, he came back on the air: "I needed to deviate, I needed to deviate, I needed to deviate, I needed --." A commercial frog hunter in an airboat assisting Alabama Marine Police and Coast Guard crews found the wreckage around midnight, resting in shallow water, about 1 miles north of the Mobile Bay Causeway. The wings were shattered, and most of the front of the plane was little more than fragments. "The impact of that collision disintegrated that airplane before it hit the water out there," Godwin said. Engine split in half: The Pratt & Whitney engine block was split in two, the report states. Godwin called that a strong indicator of a violent impact. "That's a big deal. That airplane could fall out of the sky and hit concrete and it's unlikely it would've broken the engine in half like that." The NTSB report details the agency's attempts to find the source of the red marks on the Cessna. Investigators sent fragments with the markings to Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio for testing.
The markings were compared to other materials from the plane, including red paint and a red cargo bag. The tests also examined paint from an unmanned aerial vehicle, apparently to determine whether the Cessna had struck a military drone. Similar tests were performed by the U.S. Aircraft Insurance Group -- which took custody of the wreckage in February -- with similar results, the report states.
"The main result from the investigation is that the material in the red streaks on the skin of the accident airplane was significantly different from the other materials that were examined for comparison," the report states. Additionally, investigators were unable to identify the source of "a small piece of what appeared to be black anodized aluminum, which was found embedded in the left wing" near the fuselage, the report states. "There's definitely no chance that that particular incident involved one of our drones," said 1st Lt. Sage Park, a spokeswoman for the 53rd Wing, which operates unmanned airplanes out of Tyndall Air Force Base in the Florida Panhandle. Those drones do not fly as far west as the Mobile area, she said. A spokeswoman at Eglin Air Force Base, farther west in the Panhandle, said squadrons there also generally do their testing over the Gulf of Mexico and do not venture into airspace near Mobile. Neither of the Air Force officials nor a spokesman at Naval Air Station Pensacola could immediately confirm whether units based there were conducting aircraft or missile tests when the Cessna crashed, although all said it was unlikely for various reasons. The Navy spokesman said the Pensacola station has radar that reaches Mobile, although it is generally monitored for activity in the Gulf rather than near Mobile.
The accident report does not indicate whether investigators sought radar data from any of the military installations. Based on the limited radar information they could find, investigators concluded the Cessna never crossed paths with the DC-10, contrary to what the air traffic controller told Preziose, the report states. Greg Breedlove, a lawyer with the Mobile firm Cunningham Bounds, said his firm has been retained by Preziose's family and is examining several possibilities, including that the Cessna simply got caught in turbulence caused by the FedEx plane. Another possibility?: Sam Houston, resident agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration office in Mobile, said his agency had no information about the accident, although he said he could not rule out the possibility that a drug smuggling plane might have struck the Cessna. "There is active drug smuggling in Alabama, yes, by air," he said. Godwin, the Mid-Atlantic Freight executive, said it was "very hard to believe that in this United States, with terrorism being what it is, that there's no record of any aircraft or object moving in our space out there. You'd think somebody somewhere has a record of that collision." NTSB investigators should issue their final analysis on the accident within a few months, said Holloway, the spokesman. On the Web: NTSB Aviation Accident Synopses: http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/Month.asp The Birmingham News | The Huntsville Times | Mobile Register ©2004 al.com.
Editor's Note: The fact the leading edge of the Cessna had and the engine block split in two by the violent impact infers the collision occurred with a high speed craft. The black aluminum imbedded in the wing was sent to Wright Paterson AFB for analysis suggests UFO involvement. Videos from the space shuttle has shown high speed UFOs moving along the Gulf Coast corridor on a regular basis. There have been other mysteries surrounding similar midair crashes.

LEAGUE CITY – The witness thought they were birds at first buzzing around the clear sky on April 1, 2004, at 12:27 PM. But then they started to make these weird formations and he saw some reflection, that he knew was metal. Four made a triangle and then there were five and then six. The witness explains, “They disappeared and then came back, and as they moved I saw more and more 20, then 50 then about 100. They looked like white fireworks in the sky. They would appear and then disappear in two different sets. A passenger plane flew into the direction of the lights and then they were gone. UFOcenter
COLLEGE STATION -- We saw 6 dots in the sky directly above, they were all close to each other, and moved to the right slowly across the sky at 11 PM, on April 7, 2004. They began moving apart, then back together. After about 8 sec. they faded out. Both of us saw the entire event. UFOcenter
CORPUS CHRISTI -- The triangle would fly at fast speeds then it would stop and shine a bright blue beam down on houses at 12:30 PM, on April 4, 2004. It did this about five times then it soared up in the sky and vanished. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter

Canada – Orange and Fast Moving Lights
WILLIAMS LAKE, BRITISH COLUMBIA – On April 10, 2004, at 11:30 p.m. Brian Vike took a call from a witness who reported seeing a large orange shaped object sitting stationary at a distance and close to the tops of the trees. The object was visible for approximately a minute, it then broke into two orange colored lights and disappeared very quickly. The object was seen in the southwest. No sudden movements were noted, no sound was heard. There were also clear skies that night.
ACTON, ONTARIO -- My fiancée and I wrote previously about a sighting on April 9, 2004. This was the sighting of multiple lights, traveling at a fast speed with no flashing lights or sound. Well, since that sighting we have continued to see these odd lights in the sky, around 9:20 p.m. to 9:50 p.m. On the second sighting, myself and our neighbor spotted 25-30 of these lights in the shape of a 'V'. They were moving north at high altitude. Again, there were no flashing lights and there was no sound.
The third sighting took place on April 15, 2004. There were three witnesses: Myself, my fiancée, and our neighbor. At 9:29 p.m. – we saw 7 lights in a perfect 'V' shape that seemed very distant for about 15 seconds. Less then a minute later, five lights in a different pattern were seen very distant. At 9:44 p.m. three lights were spotted, and was more distinctive and brighter. These lights seemed to be lower to the ground than the first two sightings. The lights lasted about 20 seconds. They were the size of a pinky fingernail. Then at 9:49 p.m.– four lights, lower to the ground were seen that were the size of Joe's thumb fingernail. These lights lasted about 19 seconds. There was no sound, during any of the sightings and all were moving at a quick speed.
There were 3 separate sightings on April 16th, 2004, the first at 9:20 p.m. – were 7 lights, that lasted 16 seconds was spotted just west of the Big Dipper heading north in an unorganized 'V' shape. At 9:25 p.m. - 2 lights, lasted 17 seconds that were further west of the Big Dipper. The left light was ahead of the right light but they moved across the sky, ended up side-by-side, and disappeared into the distant with the right light now leading. At 9:27 p.m - seven lights, that lasted 20 seconds were in an unorganized 'V' shape. This sighting was visible in the distance and not right above us, much harder to spot.
We have been seeing them on a regular basis, and are very curious about what we are observing. Thanks to Brian Vike, Director CANADA HBCC Research
England - Cross wavering and no sound
LONDON -- When I first saw it, it was an extremely bright light that changed to another extremely bright colored light, coming towards my direction at 6:40 PM, on April 1, 2004. Then suddenly the bright light stopped and as it passed overhead the lights switched into a cross formation. What I found strange was that even though it might have been high in the sky there was no sound off it and it wavered twice slightly as it passed overhead. It continued in the same direction till I lost sight of it. Because I live near Heathrow airport I see aircraft every day but this was not similar to anything I have ever seen before.

Full Story:
UFOs Spotted During ISS Space Walk
Jeff Chandler writes that he was closely following the ISS Space Walk on February 25, 2004, when the astronauts made the following
comments. Cosmonaut Alexander ‘Sasha’ Kaleri (Crew Flight Engineer) states, “So, dinosaurs are needed here. You can’t do…can’t
do anything without them.” Korelyev – Say it again? Kaleri – I say when the dinosaur is here. Yes! I have them here! (Pause for
several seconds) Uh…these are with me now! Korelyev – Yes. Let them be with you. Understood. (Several Minutes Later) Foale –
(garbled)…Sasha is attaching the dinosaurs now.
Jeff comments, “What is going on here? What are “Dinosaurs” in the context of this long planned space walk (EVA) from the PIRS
airlock module of ISS?” I have done an extensive search of both the NASA, and Russian, web resources concerning the space
station, and specifically this EVA. There is no mention of anything resembling this term. The NASA ISS acronyms list turns up
nothing, as did a similar search on the Russian side. Historically, the term doesn’t exist. In seven years of listening to Cosmonaut
and Astronaut chatter during EVAs from Mir, and ISS, I’ve never ever heard this term before. I have never heard this term used on any
Shuttle flight in over 20 years of observation. I never heard the term during the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, or Sky Lab programs for that
matter. In well over 40 years of watching and listening to the space programs of the United States and Russia, I’ve NEVER EVER
heard the term “Dinosaurs” used in ANY context. When Cosmonaut Kaleri made his remarks on 25 February, my ears pricked up.
Several minutes later, ISS Commander Astronaut Michael Foale made a remark which seemed to indicate that “Dinosaurs” were
some sort of common part which Cosmonaut Kaleri was installing on the exterior of the station. But what part, and what sort? What
makes Commander Foale’s statement that Sasha was installing the “Dinosaurs” fall flat was the fact that the Cosmonaut’s
conversation about these “Dinosaurs” with the Russian Mission Control Center in Korelyev indicated complete surprise on his part.
The two crewmen of ISS Expedition 8 had been preparing, and training, for this EVA event literally for YEARS. NO aspect of the
mission to be performed, no piece of equipment, no part to be installed should come as any surprise.
Yet, in his own words, to Cosmonaut Kaleri these “Dinosaurs” came as a great AND unwelcome, surprise. Why? As stated earlier in
this examination, all aspects of the EVA should have been extremely familiar. Yet, Kaleri expresses surprise and dismay that
“Dinosaurs” should be present. Mission control advises him to accept them, and Commander Foale seems to feel obligated to make
up some cover story. High strangeness indeed, especially when one takes into account that there were a number of mysterious
objects flitting about during much of the space walk. In addition, space suit to ground communications were interrupted for extensive
periods by a terrible screeching racket. My observation is that this interference with communications between the space walkers and
the ground seemed to manifest itself during times when the mystery objects were present. A pair of unidentified objects seen during
ISS space walk of 25 Feb. 2004 Another unusual occurrence was that at one point in the middle of all these strange happenings,
Houston Mission Control announced that the ISS was “Out of Range” of the space communication network. This announcement made
when ISS was flying DIRECTLY above the Hawaiian ground station, part of that worldwide network. Houston also indicated that the
ISS was “Out of Range” of the TDRS satellite stationed in geosynchronous orbit high above. Neither of these facilities was actually out
of range, being in “line of sight” at
Hawaiian ground station when NASA announced it was “Out of Range” In closing, it appears to me that the unknown, and
unaccounted for, objects seen during the live TV coverage of the space walk were probably associated with the communication
losses. It appears very possible that when the ISS was “Out of Range” from the usual communication facilities both on the ground in
Hawaii, and high above in the form of a satellite, this opportunity was taken to speak with the station crew about what they’d seen
whilst keeping the public “In The Dark”. I also strongly suspect that “Dinosaurs” was a code word Sasha Kaleri used in reference to
UFOs. Taken in that context, the word actually makes sense. Thanks to Jeff Challender – Director Project P.R.O.V.E. © 2004 Jeff

Mars - More Strange Glyphs
JPL has stopped sending raw images from Mars for about a week. They must have found something very interesting. We found some
strange glyphs.
Pennsylvania - Five Hundred Lights
SLIPPERY ROCK -- On April 17, 2004, witnesses report seeing 500 orangeish small lights flying mostly in a "V" formation flying over
for at least 3 hours. The witness states, "I was sitting on my back porch when the first ones flew over. They were in a "V" formation
and there were about 15 of them. They looked like geese in formation but were orangeish in color. I tried to dismiss them as birds, but
could see them for several miles. Then a few minutes later another 20 or so went overhead. I was talking on the phone with my sister
in Washington (state) and told her what was going on then I went and got my wife out of bed. Just as we got back outside another
group of 10 went overhead. She was skeptical until another group of 50 or so went directly over us. They were traveling south to
northwest. I then talked to my brother-in-law in New Castle and he saw them also. I don't know what they were but they were going
faster than anything I've ever seen in the sky. I really hope some one else saw them. In all I saw at least 500 or more and was up until
03:30 watching them. Also there was no sound. Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC
Indiana - Two Large Disks
MOORSEVILLE -- Peter Davenport called to infrom me he is having computer troubles similar to my own. He told me that two disk
shaped UFOs were reported over Indiania. The witness was traveling south on state highway 67 south,,just north of moorsville,when a
silver disk about 10-12 feet in dia.at about 300 feet passed over my RAV4 on April 3, 2004 at 7:30 PM. It was moving from west to
east at about (est 100mph)at around a 3-5 degree upward angle.It only looked to be about 3-4 feet thick,no lights,no wings,no
sound,and no smoke. it was a disc or saucer shaped object with rows of lights
LOGANSPORT -- On April 8, 2004, the witnesses report, "My husband and I along with my oldest daughter was leaving my in-laws,
when I noticed lights above a neighbor's trees around their house. There was a black and grey disc or saucer shaped object with rows
of lights for about 5 or 6 seconds then the lights shut off like someone flipped a switch and the object disappeared. My 12 year-old
daughter saw the same thing and my husband only saw a glare of lights on the truck and ground. He could not see it due to the
position of the object. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director NUFORC
Georgia - Flying Triangle
CALHOUN - On April 5, 2004, at about 10:30 PM, a 30 year old male reported that he was outside with his astronomy telescope and
had a strange tingling sensation and then looked up and observed a large triangular shaped object just above the tree tops. His first
impression was a helicopter, but he heard no sound. This craft was moving slowly towards Calhoun proper, projecting a bright blue
searchlight-like beam. It continued on, south to north, until it went over to the other side of an adjacent mountain and vanished from
sight.
WOODSTOCK - March 27, 2004, a 48 year old male resident of Georgia reports that he had carried his vehicle to a repair shop in
town near his home at 4:25 PM, and noticed what appeared to be a dull grey-silver metallic sphere hovering just above the scattered
cumulus clouds to the north. He continued to watch, stating it was difficult to judge true size and distance, but it may have drifted
slightly. This object was then covered by a cloud. Witness continued to look, and within about 5-10 minutes noticed an identical
object, but possibly the original, a little east of the first location. An occasional cloud also covered this second observation off and on.
Three or four jet aircraft at much higher allotted passed the area during the 30 minutes of observation. Witness indicated in his
WUFOD account that the size appeared to be about like an aspirin AAL. Also that his only conventional comparison would be to that
of a balloon, but UNLIKE balloons he had seen, these spheres seemed to have little or no drift. This Woodstock resident said that he
would provide additional information if contacted by our personnel. This witness is in the immediate vicinity of our Mark Kravitz of
Marietta and shortly, Mark will be given this case information.
MANCHESTER - April 16, 2004, at 10:20 PM, a female 47 year old, along with her 16 year old daughter, reported they were driving
home from Columbus when they thought they saw a helicopter from nearby Ft. Benning. Upon getting closer, she felt it resembled a
Stealth Bomber, with a triangle-like shape. Their closer observation found the witnesses slowing and letting down the vehicle windows
which revealed NO sound. Near Ellerslie in Harris County the witnesses then observed the craft to be a dark triangle hovering at
relatively low altitude. The triangle was blinking red and green lights at the rear, plus projecting a spotlight-like beam, with an adjacent
blue light under each "wing." The daughter became a little concerned, stating they needed to get out of there, continue on home and
tell her Dad. The Primary Witness stated that she had observed similar triangular craft before, along with her older daughter, but had
never reported it.
MUFONGA's Dan Worsham of Columbus has agreed to further investigate this
incident. These are preliminary reports are in nature. Thanks to Tom Sheets, SD MUFONGA
Weather Channel Shows Disk
OUT WEST -- Kim Shaffer writes, “On Tuesday, April 20th, I was glancing at the weather Channel when I saw the end of a video clip
of a tanker aircraft dumping retardant on a fire out west somewhere.” As the clip was ending, the cameraman panned left and upward
to show a large dark disc shaped object in the sky. The clip ended almost immediately and I have tried several attempts to contact
TWC to find out the when, what, and where of the video, but they will not return an e-mail to me. Perhaps, I do not have the
"credentials" to get a response. Do you think this is a job for you? Do you know anyone with clout enough to get an answer from
these clowns? The video was certainly very interesting and no response indicated they wish no involvement in the subject of ufology.

California --Oval Objects
MEADOW, BETWEEN ELLSINORE & PARIS -- On April 23, 2004, a lady called me from Meadow, California and said she watched
what looked like a cone shaped object moving from side to side flying across the sky at 8 PM. The witness was backing into her
carport when she spotted the object and started yelling at her daughter who was with her to look towards the mountains. Her daughter
missed seeing it. She said the back of the object looked like it was flared out. As she observed the object move across the sky it
would fade in and out. Also, she noticed when started to fade she saw a red puff come off it. I asked what she meant by a "red puff."
She really found it hard to explain and said it was a red something, like a burst of red. Every time the object gave off the puff of red the
object itself became more visible, or a bright white in color. There was no contrail left by the object. It was flying from the north
heading to the south in a straight line. I asked if she was able to give me a rough idea as to the size of the craft. The witness said it
had to be longer than the length of her arm. The lady said it was traveling at a very low altitude, between the mountains and her
residence, but extremely low. She also said there is a small airport close to where she resides. I wondered if a plane was coming into
to land or one might have been taking off. But from the sounds of what the lady saw it doesn't seem to resemble an aircraft I am
aware of, but of course hard to say. There was no sound heard, but another interesting point she made was that her pets (dogs) and
the neighbors dogs were acting up all night long. (only this one night when the sighting took place) The lady said this is certainly out
of the norm for them to carry on like this and she thought this was unusual. It was interesting to note that on the weekend the local
Air Force Base there was an aircraft fair taking place she told me and this was after her sighting.
VICTORVILLE -- Brian Vike phoned this witness who stated, “All that the objects made a 90 degree turn to the north, and the objects
would move around one another as they traveled along. Two witnesses were in the High Desert on April 23, 2004, at 10:15 a.m., and
spotted 4-6 dots with long trails. The witness was traveling northbound on the 15 freeway, and his wife noticed multiple objects in the
clear blue sky with contrails moving slowly from the west to the east due north of our position. I explained to her the I thought it was a
meteor that was breaking up in the atmosphere as it burned up. The contrails were long and flowing, but they dissipated awfully fast
to be smoke and debris from a meteor. They faded more like mist and they continued moving slowly and randomly intertwining
between each other as they fell. I thought it would be cool to get pictures. As I pulled over and got out, I noticed that all of them turned
due north together and appeared to be falling at the same rate of speed, just away from us. I took three pictures and the objects faded
into the distance. I was okay with the meteor idea right up until they all turned to the north. My wife thought that since there were
gusty winds at the time that the wind had blown the falling debris to the north, but I explained to her that if it had been debris burning
up from space, that the pieces were probably traveling at hundreds or thousands of miles per hour and the 40 mph gusts wouldn't
affect them. Not withstanding, the fact that they were probably so high up in the atmosphere that the weather down here wouldn't even
affect it or be close to the same for that matter. Thanks to Brian Vike, Director HBCC UFO Research

VANCOUVER, BC. -- On April 24, 2004, at 9 PM, the witness observed a white light moving in an easterly direction across Indian
Arm from Seymour Mountain flying at about 2,500 feet. It was traveling faster than most small planes and he watched the white light
blinked out. A few seconds later there was a single red strobe flash and then the white light reappeared going back the way it came
just as fast. There is no way a small plane could have reversed directions that fast. The witness states, “I grabbed my new Video
camera and in the few seconds it took to warm up the light blinked out again, but there was still a little light in the sky but I could see
nothing in the area.” I checked with my binoculars but found nothing.
On April 14, at 10 PM, the witness observed what appeared to be a fairly large meteorite heading in a northerly direction. As I
watched it suddenly shrank in size and within seconds just appeared to be a satellite still heading in the same direction. Very similar
to that object I saw back in the summer of 2002.
In the beginning of April 2004, the sky was overcast with low thick clouds at 1000 feet and about 5 PM. I noticed, two dull yellow disk
shaped objects, flying one behind the other in a SSE directions. These glowing disks appeared to be either in the clouds or just over
them. I would estimate they were over 108 and King George and from that distance appeared to be about the size of the full moon.
Their speed was 3 to 4 hundred miles an hour. Time of sighting about five to ten seconds.
My new camera has night vision and can see better than I can in the dark. The other night I saw that strange light which appears to
flash white, blue and red. I aimed the camera at it and started zooming in and it must be in near orbit as the image filled my view
finder even before it got to full digital zoom. (900X) Normal stars still look like stars slightly magnified. Anyway I did not see the blue
and red lights which I've seen through my binoculars but did see reddish looking protrudences on the sides. Reminded me of Mickey
Mouse. The white object appeared to be rotating quite fast but that may just have been an effect caused by the atmosphere. Just for
the heck of it I left the camera running while pointed up at the sky, to my surprise I saw what appeared to be two very faint satellites
pass through the rather narrow field of view within about five minutes. I also noticed several dark shadowy objects passing in front of
the stars in the view finder. I tried looking at the same area through my binoculars but could only just barely make out the stars.

Kelowna, B.C. - A glowing flying triangle was spotted on April 26, 2004, at 9:45 p.m., by a husband and wife who were outside
smoking, The triangle was visible for 20 to 30 seconds before it left the couples line of sight. It was glowing white in color, no lights
were seen on the craft. The man guessed the object was flying at 20,000 feet. They explained that it was extremely bright, but went
on to say you couldn't miss it either. There was no aura or glowing light surrounding it, there was no trail or tail following behind. The
witness said he saw no aircraft before or during the sighting, but said right after the object passed by a helicopter was seen flying at a
low level shinning it's spotlight down towards the ground. The craft flew in a straight line towards the northeast over Okanagan Lake.
At arm’s length the witness guessed the object would have been 1 to 2 centimeters in length looking from his location. No sound was
heard. The man said the craft was solid in color and not just points of light in a triangular shape. The witness also said he tried to
contact the Kelowna, B.C. airport tower but they were closed. Brian Vike, Director HBCC UFO Research Home
NORTH BURNABY, B.C. -- I'm wondering about an experience I had. It was sometime in 1992, when I was a taxi driver in the greater
Vancouver BC area. I was just pulling up to an apartment building to drop off my fare and glanced to my left and noticed high in the
sky, a shimmering gold colored object. It was several miles high and moving at a tremendous speed. My first thought was that it was
one of the space shuttles that I had read about in the paper that would be visible on its decent to its landing place in California or
Texas, I can't remember which. I got on my radio and advised the other drivers they should look up in the location in the sky for a
look. Only one driver came back and said they couldn't see anything. Nothing more was said. It didn't occur to me until I read a UFO
report on another site that described a similar sighting that maybe it wasn't the space shuttle after all. I am wondering if you know of
the space shuttle flight to which I refer and if there were any sightings of it back then. Thank you to the witness for the report.
SMITHERS, BC -- Brian Vike writes, “A lady called from Smithers, to ask if anyone had reported seeing an unusual object hovering
and moving slowly over the Ski Hill Road on April 8, 2004, at 11:20 PM. Because the object the witness saw was so very strange she
emailed the Smithers Interior News with her report but there was no reply. She eventually talked with the editor and the paper is going
to run a short piece.
What the lady observed from her home was a bright pink spherical shaped object and surrounding the object was a dark blue aura.
The object sat low, hovering over the Smithers Ski Hill Road until it just disappeared at an extreme rate of speed. Before the lady lost
sight of it, it was moving very slowly from it's hovering position. She said there was not a sound coming from the object. The woman
said she usually heads to bed earlier but she wasn't able to sleep and had been watching a program on TV when she decided to go
outside to take a pet cookie to her dog . She turned around to go back into her home and saw the strange object. She told me that it
was not a plane as they are use to seeing them flying over top of the area all the time due to the Smithers airport being close by. The
object was below the rim of the mountains. Thanks to Brian Vike, Director
UK - Cigar Images
NORTH NOTTINGHAM -- Anthony James writes, “ I've just come back from walking the dog. I sometimes take my mini-disc player or
digital camera with me, today I took my camera and took 19 photo's of this cigar shaped object flying from south to north at a
leisurely pace over the U.K. There was no noise, and I managed to take a couple of photo's with foreground for good measure. This
shows how high it was, just below cloud cover. I used an Olympus C-700 digital camera with a 10X zoom lens. I was on Hempshill
Vale estate when I first noticed it and started taking photo's. By the time it disappeared into the clouds about 20 minutes later, I was
just over the boarder in a field in Nuthall, Nottingham, this location is within a 8 minute walk from our house. I would say the object
was about 50 feet long, based on the view that a Boeing 737 is about 100 feet long and they fly over here every day. The last photo
shows the UFO with a small plane from Hucknall airfield and the UFO way high above and beyond. Please feel free to use these
pictures as you wish. I've trimmed each picture, the 1st one is zoomed right in with the digital zoom = to about a 100mm lens, the
other zoomed out at about 100mm. "Looking at the last few pictures, I think it could well be some huge balloon." Thanks to Anthony

Scotland - UFOs
MOTHERWELL -- The witness was about 18 years old coming home from the River Clyde in 1979 July or August) when his Dad
stopped to speak to an old friend. He states, “I was looking towards the town of Hamilton when I saw the first object emerging from
behind the hills nine miles away to the west. Within a few seconds the first object was totally visible, then the smaller object rose up
from behind the hill and was soon totally visible also. The objects were both orange in color and seemed to shimmer with long flowing
tendrils. The second object was about half the size of the first. The evening was warm and overcast. They were fairly large. My Dad
and his old pal were deep in conversation. When I told them to look at the fireballs floating up through the clouds they didn't seem to
be able to see them. My Dad continued to talk as if nothing had happened. The objects merged together before floating up into the
dark clouds. I know that this was no hallucination. The whole thing from start to finish took about 2 minutes at the most. I am now 45
years old and this scene has been in my mind since the night I saw it. The image can been found at:

Iran -UFOs over the Cities
TEHRAN -- Thousands of people saw flying lights and objects for several days and several times in the sky of many cities of Iran on
April 12,13,14, 2004, according to a journalist of Irna News. A light in the sky flew slow with different colors over the city Gonbade
Kavoos on April 13, at night. UFO Sighting was seen over Meshkin Shahr the next morning. On April 14 at 9 PM, an oval UFO was
sighted for 90 minutes over the small city Bileh Savar. It started to fly straight and became four flying lights. Later at 8:30 many
people saw a UFO with two small wings and beams of light in different colors flying over the city Tabriz. On April 17, at 8:30 PM,
people saw a light over Azad Shahr in North Iran for 60 minutes with changing color. On April 18, at 11 PM, people sighted an oval
UFO fly over Poldokhtar in west Iran for thirty minutes. On April 21, several people saw a strong pink light fly slowly over the city
Gorgan. 21 of April in the night people of three cities Saris (north Iran), Ardabil (north west), Gonbade Kavoos(north east), sighting
strong lights flying in the sky. Many Official Newspapers write about these UFOs sightings on these days. Official Iranian TV 1 shows
a short Handy cam video film of one of these UFO (light) sightings. Thanks to Brian Vike and Hashemi, Director HBCC UFO Research
New Zealand - Disk Photographed
Wayne Brasch writes, "Recently my wife and I purchased a Fuji 602Z, 6 mega pixel digital camera c/w a 55mm Marumi polarizing
filter (early Xmas present to each other) and began photographing persistent trails in our local airspace. It is at this time things started
to get a strange.
On 18 Jan 2004 my wife took a few images of a persistent trail whilst I was out. When we later downloaded the images I noticed
artefacts in two of the images. Thinking they were distant birds I enlarged them. One was an orb shaped object and the other
elongated.
Then on 25 Jan 2004 I photographed another fresh chemtrail. Again my images contained strange anomalies which I can not explain.

Noah's Ark Found? Company Claims Commercial Satellite Has Picture Proof
Satellite photos of Mount Ararat, Turkey taken by commercial imaging satellite company Digital Globe released today are said to
contain proof of the existence of the biblical Noah's Ark. The images, revealed at a press conference at the National Press Club in
Washington, D.C. are said to reveal a man-made structure at the site where the Bible states the vessel came to rest. The claim was
made by Daniel P. McGivern, president of Shamrock -- The Trinity Corporation, who according to a press release has been searching
for the Ark for several years. The first pictures of the site were taken by the U.S. Air Force in 1949. The images allegedly revealed
what seemed to be a structure covered by ice, but were held in a confidential file labeled “Ararat Anomaly” for years. In 1997, the
government released several of these images, but experts deemed them inconclusive. McGovern's is not the first satellite search for
the Ark. In 2002, Porcher Taylor, a senior associate (nonresident) at the prominent think tank, the Center for Strategic and
International Studies (CSIS) in Washington, D.C., also requested satellite imagery of the area to see if the mythical vessel truly
existed.
The summer of 2003 provided a great opportunity to take a new series of photographs, according to the release, because it was the
hottest summer in Europe since 1500. This caused a massive meltdown on Mount Ararat. McGivern used DigitalGlobe’s Quick Bird
satellite to collect a new set of satellite images. According to the press release, McGivern has put together a team of scientists,
archaeologists and forensic experts to excavate the object and collect samples beginning in August of this year.
“These new photos unequivocally show a man made object,” McGivern is quoted as saying. “I am convinced that the excavation of the
object and the results of tests run on any collected samples will prove that it is Noah’s Ark.” The field manager for the excavation will
be Dr. Ahmet Ali Arslan, a native of Turkey who has traveled up Mount Ararat 50 times in 40 years and formerly worked in the Turkey
Prime Minister’s office. According to the release, Arslan plans to discuss the details of the excavation with the Prime Minister next
week. According to the press release, McGivern has put together a team of scientists, archaeologists and forensic experts to

Travel Between Stars Takes Several Weeks
Most scientists believe there is intelligent life in the universe, but the reason UFOs cannot be here is because of the great distance between solar systems. NASA scientist Paul Hill in his book "Unconventional Flying Objects" provides the mathematical formulas to show that the UFOnauts travel time between planets in nearby solar systems is less than it took for our ancestors to reach America. The equations have been checked by the Langley Research Center and interstellar mission profiles for the UFOnauts can take only a few weeks or months. For example Paul Hill states, "It is possible for an interstellar trip to be very short. The trip from our nearest neighbor, Alpha Centuri, a triple star system 4.3 light years away, made by accelerating at 140 g to av/c of 0.9999 is accomplished from a standing start to a standing finish in 6 weeks, 0.115 year." The fast trip, v/c = 0.9999, cuts all the travel times from stars within 100 light years to less than one year. Eridani and Ceti are only about 2 years away to the UFOnaut.” (P. 272)
Editor's Note: Physicists now feel that space travel can be shortened with worm holes, that gravity can compress or bend space, and the speed of light is not the actual speed limit. In 1954, German Rocket Scientists and other experts did a study of UFO's and concluded there were unquestionably alien space ships in our atmosphere.
Thirty Billion Earths in Our Galaxy
Over a hundred solar systems have now been found and probably half have Earth like planets that could support intelligent life. Robert Roy Britt a Senior Science Writer says, NASA's Kepler Mission to find Earth-like planets has gotten the green light and will launch in 2006, to monitor 100,000 stars for telltale dips in light indicating an Earth-sized planet in an Earth like orbit. Billions of Earth like planets have the potential to support life. New calculations by Lineweaver and Daniel Grether, both of the University of New South Wales in Australia, feel the formation of Earth, was orchestrated or affected by Jupiter, the largest planet with by far the bulk of the solar system's mass, excepting the Sun. "Our solar system is Jupiter and a bunch of junk," as Lineweaver puts it. Jupiter is Earth's protector. In the past Earth was pummeled by asteroids and comets, making it difficult for life to take hold, but it could have been much worse without Jupiter.
Brown Dwarfs Prove High Number of Planets
The Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics announced that a study of brown dwarf stars suggests more planets may exist than predicted. Astronomers analyzing brown dwarf stars have determined that many of the failed stars are ringed by protoplanetary disks of dust and gas just like true stars. The finding suggests a high percentage of stars have planets or solar systems similar to our own. Millions or even billions of planets may exist. Many of these planets are billions of years older than Earth. The technology of intelligent life many millions of years older than ours would appear as magic. If Ben Franklin walked into your home, the computer, TV and your automobile would seem like magic to him. Therefore, it seems reasonable to assume advanced life forms exist and have the technology to visit Earth.
Are You a Martian Who Came to Colony Earth?
Recent findings by the Filer Research Institute infer that intelligent life existed on Mars when an asteroid hit and formed Bonneville Crater and estimated 100,000 years ago. Martians seeing the loss of their atmosphere could have developed the technology to travel to their closest neighboring planet. It would have been a comparatively easy trip to blast off with half the gravity of Earth from Mars to reach us. Let us assume the Martian’s developed a craft with the capability or our own 1960’s craft the X-15 and eventually reached Earth about 50,000 years ago when the relatively primitive Neanderthals roamed our planet. Neanderthals lived in primitive single family groups and killed small solitary animals, because they were unable to join together into large groups.
Cave paintings from Altamira, Spain with likeness of UFO.
Then a giant leap forward occurred about 40,000 or more years ago when intelligent life on Earth suddenly made a giant leap forward when Modern Man (humans) suddenly appeared. Mitochondrial DNA from three Neanderthal fossils has been sequenced, confirming that Neanderthals and modern humans represent deep and separate evolutionary lineages. Soon after, Neanderthals just as suddenly died off and were replaced by humans with advanced new DNA.
We can make the assumption that Modern Man is related to an influx of space visitors that probably carried micro-organisms and disease that wiped out the Neanderthals. The humans almost immediately formed groups to hunt large animals.
Some of the first human settlements are found in South Africa, interestingly near the best gold mines on Earth according to Dr Lee Berger "In the Footsteps of Eve: The Mystery of Human Origins".
Ancient Sumerian records claim Mars needed gold flakes to save its atmosphere. In other parts of the world such as France, humans appeared who often lived inside or next to caves and painted artistic cave drawings that include UFO like images. Below is the so called Chinese Horse in the Lascaux, France with possible UFO flying above.
France is also noted for its iron ore, potash, and coal. The cave
area has tungsten, fluorspar and uranium. This Upper Paleolithic
period was a time with much greater technological, artistic, and
ritual complexity than had ever been seen on Earth. Paleontologists
have discovered a preponderance of specialized blade tools,
and the appearance of art, symbolism and human burials
accompanied by rich adornments of shells, bone, antler, and
ivory beads. It is interesting to note that similar burial mounds,
pyramids, and temples are found on both Mars and our Earth.
Mitochondrial DNA from three Neanderthal fossils has been
sequenced, confirming that Neanderthals and modern humans
represent deep and separate evolutionary lineages and probably
could not produce fertile offspring.
Fresh Doubt on the Origin of Modern Man
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA published a paper by Gregory Adcock and colleagues, reporting that sequences of ancient mitochondrial DNA had been recovered from 10 Australian fossil humans. While 9 of them fitted within known human variation, it was claimed that the oldest sequence, from the 60,000 year old Mungo 3 fossil, was distinct from those of recent humans, and cast doubt on the theory that modern humans had originated in Africa. Further commentaries and media coverage claimed that the results in fact supported the multiregional model of human origins. The Independent 2001 http://www.millennium-debate.org/ind9janu9.htm.
Editor's Note: The present theory of the ascent of man claims a massive change in species and DNA based on Darwin's Theory of Evolution occurred by chance creating modern man. I suggest that, if modern man can be traced to multiple locations at roughly the same time around the Earth, such as France, Australia, and South Africa it would indicate an advanced Martian human pecies landed in multiple places on Earth and flourished.
New York – Flying Triangle
BETHPAGE – The witness decided to take a look at the sky when he spotted a big airplane in the distance flying west towards J. F. K. in New York City on April 20, 2004, at 8:30 PM. He then looked south and noticed three triangle white lights flying north not far from a large airplane. It did not make any sound and the lights were steady. I ran inside to get my camera but by then it disappeared. Thanks to Peter Davenport
Pennsylvania - Two Discs
FORD CITY -- On Friday, April 9, 2004, at about 9:15 PM, a married couple was sitting in their hot tub, relaxing and looking at the stars and the husband said "look at this coming." They observed two disc shaped objects that looked like two plates or saucers standing on end. They were traveling at a very high rate of speed from east to west as if racing each other. One was a small distance behind the other but, they crossed directly over us and the gap between them closed and they were side by side. The witness states, “Never have I witnessed anything travel at such a high rate of speed and about the same height as commercial jets. The sky was very clear and full of stars. The objects were an orange color, with no flashing lights but were illuminated, not real bright, but like a glow. Thanks to Peter Davenport
Delaware - Flying Wing
ELSMERE – The witness was walking to his car at midnight when he turned to his left and over the trees from Vilone Park flew a wing shaped flying object on April 21, 2004. It looked like it had the wingspan of a B-52H and it had a solid non blinking red light underneath. The witness states, “I turned on the FAA band on my scanner in my car and no such major cargo aircraft with that span were over Delaware Airspace at that time.” I grew up in a military family, but since I lived in MD and had been a witness to the Waldorf UFO in 2002, I am quite aware of what a UFO is and what it isn't. Thanks to Peter Davenport
Washington, D.C. - "Orb" Above Aircraft
The witness was traveling back home from trip to Washington D.C. and was observing air traffic out his aircraft window on April 15, 2004, at 4:44 PM, when he noticed suddenly elevated contrail activity. So he started searching the sky for unknowns. He spotted what he thought was Venus, except that it was brighter. Our Captain reported our altitude was 35,000 feet and so this object was about 50 to 60,000 feet. It was either at a standstill or was moving very slowly, because we passed it within a couple of minutes. Our flight was steady, and we did not bank and the distant cloud cover provided a horizon-line for comparison. This seemed important because the object moved from the front left of my view, slightly rising then lowering, then moving to the right, and then out of my view.
The witness states, “It was a bright, bluish-tinted orb and seemed reflective and was much brighter than the surrounding sky and I was able to get off one shot with my camera, before my camera's battery died.” Upon reviewing the shot, when I returned home, one can see that it appears more like a cigar than an orb. During the flight all the other aircraft left a contrail behind them, but this craft left nothing that I could see, nor in the photo. It was flying much higher than we were but moving much slower and barely moving. Thanks to Peter Davenport
North Carolina - Fireball Near Fort Bragg
FAYETTEVILLE – The 37 year old witness was in his front yard looking at stars in a clear sky when he saw a small blinking light almost directly overhead that looked like a plane. About one minute behind was a second plane flying north on April 9, 2004, at 9:10 PM. Suddenly, an orange-red fireball that left a trail like a meteor flew under the first plane. It was the size of a dime at arm's length and traveling in the opposite direction of the planes from the direction of Fort Bragg. The witness states, “The fireball passed the first plane and vanished and I figured it was a meteor but then it reappeared and passed under the second plane and vanished again.” I waited and it reappeared again and traveled like a stone skipping on water that would vanish every time it hit the water. It did this a total of five times and was gone almost making the horizon. The object went from directly over head to the horizon in less than 5 seconds. There was no sound. The planes did not change direction afterward.
Florida - Disk Lands In Ocean
ST. AUGUSTINE – An hour after the above sighting a golden disk was seen to travel from north to south at a high rate of speed on April 9, 2004, at 10:15 PM. Then it slowed dramatically and seemed to land in the ocean and slowly sink below the surface.
ORLANDO – An oval shaped object was seen between two jet aircraft, on April 16, 2004, at 6 PM. A gold looking oval shaped object that made no vapor trail was seen in the southwest evening sky. The sun was shinning off all three craft. The two jet aircraft kept moving to north. The sky was clear of clouds and the object was visible for about 60 seconds.
((NUFORC Note: We spoke via telephone with this witness, and found him to be exceptionally objective and eloquent in his description of the object. He seemed quite credible to us. He is a federal public employee, and occupies a position in the government requiring considerable technical acumen, and high reliability. PD))
Ohio - Ball Traveling Against Heavy Winds
BEAVER CREEK – The witness was sitting outside when he saw a flying white sphere about the size of a large pea at arm's length on April 18, 2004, at 3 PM. There was a gusting wind from west to east and he saw one of those really big balloons that are used by car lots to hold up long streamers. The object did not look metallic, had no external lights, and was just a white ball shaped object. It could have been one of those balloons, but it was defying those major gusts of wind by flying from south to north. And as it bobbed up and down along its path, it was generally going down (not up like a loose balloon would). I lost sight of it as it passed over a hill.
Indiana - Lights in Formation
BROOKSTON – A married couple was returning home from dinner when they noticed these lights again on April 16, 2004, at 8:50 PM... This time they were very close to the ground -- probably within a mile from the couple. The husband remarked, "There are those lights again!" The wife says, “I saw three very large yellow/orange orbs with about three smaller lights around the outside of the larger ones in a triangular pattern.” However, my husband was able to see them better and saw four bright lights with the smaller lights on the outside of them. He also saw a much larger light above these lights which appeared to be closer than the other four. The smaller four lights came on at the same time the larger light came on and then faded. We drove slowly home and as we pulled into our garage, I looked behind me just in time to see three large yellow/orange lights in a horizontal line about 10-20 degrees above the horizon. They came on from left to right and faded from left to right in a period of a few seconds. This was our third sighting in a year's time in this same area.
Illinois - Bright Glaring Objects
VILLA PARK – The witness was doing homework and saw a bright flash at 9:10 PM, while looking out his window from his desk on April 12, 2004. He states, “I saw two bright lights suspended in the air about 100 feet up, that generated a motor sound, and then they suddenly bolted away, but five minutes later I heard a lawnmower like sound for another ten minutes. I realized that the sound was generated from the glaring lights in the sky outside my window. At that point I began to think it was some sort of UFO as the bright lights began to shimmer a bit and then all of a sudden bolted away. I felt a sense of presence like I never have before."
Kentucky – Strange Shape with Lots of Color
MT. WASHINGTON -- On April 18, 2004, at 7 PM, a strange shape with lots of color was over us for about thirty minutes. We watched and were shocked as it changed shape, it flew near planes but didn’t even touch them. We called some friends in another part of town and they saw it, too. It was like watching us, but it was cool and different but we still don’t know what it was. Thanks to Peter Davenport
Mississippi – Disk on TV
JACKSON -- Lisa McDaniel writes, “I was checking the WAPT-TV weather cam and saw this UFO! I had saved the two pictures but unfortunately you can't do that with a web cam shot without it automatically refreshing itself; at least not this web cam.” I have already contacted the station to see if they have the still shots by any chance. At any rate, at 12:15 p.m. central/standard time, May 3rd 2004, there was a silver disk over Jackson, MS, just to the left of the Standard Life Building (the tallest building in the picture) and about midway up. I'm just really disappointed about this! In both of the pictures, however, the second one was dated 12:21 p.m., so just minutes later...and it was GONE! It is a gorgeous, sunny, clear day and not a cloud in the sky and no rain whatsoever! Thanks to Lisa McDaniel
Louisiana - Clear Sphere Seen
KENNER – The witness was driving home from work and was watching an airliner taking off from the airport while exiting the interstate on April 15, 2004. At 5:15 PM, the witness noticed something shining well above the jet. He states, “I saw a small sphere that was almost invisible, but was reflecting sunlight and I could see the outline that was like the camouflage in the ‘Predator’ movies.” I saw it for about ten seconds and looked down to see where the traffic was. When I looked back up, I couldn't find it again.” Thanks to Peter Davenport
Arkansas - Lights Over Nuclear Reactor
RUSSELVILLE – On April 15, 2004, at 10:11 PM, as the witness got his mail he saw two large orange balls of light directly above his house about 30 degrees up and over the Arkansas Nuclear 1 Reactor about two miles from my location. He states, “I watched as the two lights split into three, then four and then disappeared completely.” I do not know how long they were there since I only caught the apparent end of the display.
Missouri – Flying Triangle
ASHGROVE -- About 10:40 PM, on April 16, 2004, the witness saw a triangle shaped moving object dart up and down and from side to side. It had a white light in the center, with a red light on the front, and two blue lights on the back. At arm’s length it was about the size of a half dime. The light continued to blink or flash throughout the time we watched. The center light was about the size of a cigarette and the craft stayed at about the same height, when not "bouncing" until it faded from sight 27 minutes later. It stood on end so we could see all four lights at the same time. We saw two commercial jets fly to the west of it. Thanks to Peter Davenport
Colorado - Silver UFO Hovers
DENVER – The observer was pumping gas in Aurora when he saw a silver and very bright object in the sky far above Denver, on April 16, 2004, at 5:45 PM. His girl friend also viewed the object as it remained stationary for twenty minutes and then sped away heading north. It was 80 degrees high form the horizon and seemed very high up. Thanks to Peter Davenport
Arizona – Several UFO's Seen
PHOENIX – A large white saucer-type aircraft was spotted hovering at 9:30 PM, for several minutes and then disappeared on April 17, 2004. The witness states, “My grown daughter and I saw one oblong saucer-like aircraft hovering in the sky giving off a very bright white glow that appeared to have smaller white lights around the outer perimeter. It was distinctly NOT an airplane or blimp. It appeared to turn sideways after a few moments which made the profile a slender oval in the sky and then it disappeared. We both could not believe our eyes as we watched.
PHOENIX -- At 10 AM, I heard my neighbor knocking on my window When I went out side I saw a white cigar like object in the sky it was hard to look at because it was so close to the sun on April 18, 2004.
California – Flying Triangular Object
MERCED -- The witness was driving north on I-5, with his parents and around 12:30 AM, on April 14, 2004, they noticed an odd pair of lights. He states, "I first noticed it when the object was vertical with only two corners visible like viewing a triangular block from the side." The small triangular object had round circular and cycled lights on three corners. To visualize one set of lights, imagine a cross section of a pipe with many lights making the circle. These lights alternated like Christmas lights and looked like the electricity was moving through them. It hovered over the highway for maybe 30 seconds and quickly sped off behind the overpass. As I approached the overpass it flew speeding back over the highway and hovered very low. It actually passed right in front of my car twice and then hovered off to the left and shined a light right at me from the right hand side. This light came from one of the sides, not from one of the corners of the object as I drove 80 mph. I saw it for probably close to a minute or two total but it seems longer. It was 3 to 5 feet in length and definitely not wider than my Civic. However it had great agility and speed and it was silent.
MODESTO – R. David Anderson writes, “I took this picture on Friday evening, April 20, 2004, as I was sitting in the backyard with my new digital camera ready with telephoto lens. A high flying airplane, making no sound, attracted my attention, and I began to snap pictures. When I downloaded the pictures, I found these strange objects which appear to be skirting the plane. Tonight, after taking these pictures, a military plane was flying real low over my house, making circles several times overhead before moving off to the West. It was so close it shook our house and frightened us.

Washington – Photo and Diamond UFO
CARNATION --Three diamond shaped objects in a triangular formation were observed flying northeast on April 11, 2004, at 8 PM. The craft were silent, and maintained the exact formation across the sky. The observer is very familiar with all natural phenomenon such as satellites, space junk re entry, meteors etc and has been viewing the skies for decades. The craft were very bright white and appeared about the size of Venus would to the naked eye.
MILLER BAY -- Annamarie Johnstone, Photographing chemtrails above, Kitsap County during the morning of March 14, 2004, I discovered this craft, that was not seen visually, when the film was developed. A colorless ionization layer is apparent around the object. Thanks to Annamarie Johnstone
Canada - Black Flying Triangle
CHURCHBRIDGE, Saskatchewan.-- My stepson and wife were driving down the grid road 9 km east of Yorkton when we saw what looked like an oddly shaped fighter jet coming at us fairly low to the road at 1:30 PM, on April 20, 2004. We yielded basically in stunned fashion when the object seemed so slow, almost to a halt, 20 feet in front of our Suburban. The object was a black triangle with no apparent windows and on the bottom was one large light in each of the three corners. It rotated so a different angle was facing forward and took off in a blur over top of our car. It was as if the object went straight up once it came to view and vanished into the sky.
Mexico –Flying Triangle Over the Ocean.
CANCUN – A couple was looking at the Gulf of Mexico from their balcony at the Hotel Riu Cancun at 2 AM, on April 20, 2004 and saw a flying triangle hovering and illuminating the night sky. The distance was hard to determine but I could hear the sound of it breaking the wind. We stood there in amazement as the object darted into the clouds and then it faded away. They ran to tell their friends across the hallway and they all ran out to their balcony to see if it could be seen again. After a couple of minutes we spotted it again, but not as close as the initial sighting, now it appeared as an illuminating circular object. It seemed more energetic then before because it was speeding left to right zigzagging in out of the clouds. It maneuvered in the sky for a good hour.
UK/Scotland - Two Spaceships
EDINBURGH -- At 1:05 AM on Wednesday 21st of April, I was standing outside my house having a cigarette looking to the north eastern sky from my home town Livingston, when I saw two dots of lights suddenly shoot downward from the cloudy sky. They were moving at an incredible speed and they were keeping almost the same distance running parallel to each other. They turned sharply and came parallel to the horizon and went on for a couple of seconds, during which they both took another short dive and came back level again. From there, they seemed to shoot back up into the sky and vanished back above the clouds and there was no sound at all! I have never seen anything move that fast in my life. They were illuminating the clouds they were flying under.
UK/Wales - Three Spherical Objects
CARDIFF -- Three spherical objects silver in color as reflected in the setting sun were seen on April 18, 2004, at 7 PM. All three were flying in a triangular formation. The spherical object at the rear bottom end of the formation broke off and moved at high speed in front of the other two and disappeared. Two seconds later the other two objects disappeared.
Macedonia – UFO Video
SKOPJE --Macedonian National television has shown a video material of the object and stated that Macedonian air force has no flights at that time over the city on April 21, 2004, at 8 PM... I'm not a witness of the event. Thus I can’t give you any other info.
Iran – Flying Saucer Fever
TEHRAN – Numerous UFO sightings are being reported over Iran. Fanciful cartoons of alien spacecraft have adorned the front pages of newspapers while state television on Wednesday showed a sparkling white disc it said was filmed over Tehran on Tuesday night. Fox News showed pictures that appeared to be classic disc shapes moving over a city area. Iran is developing nuclear weapons and UFO's almost always take an interest in these developments. Many UFO's beaming out green, red, blue and purple rays were seen over the northern cities of Tabriz and Ardebil and in the Caspian Sea. Newspapers and agencies reported people rushing out into the streets in eight towns on Tuesday night to watch a bright extraterrestrial light dipping in and out of the clouds. Astronomers explained that the public was just seeing the planet Venus, whose is very bright in the western sky.
South Africa – Flying Triangle
CITRUSDAL – Two witnesses were walking home, the grandmother pointed to the sky, and said she saw a flying triangle that moved very slowly on April 12, 2004, at 9:30 PM, about 170 km from Cape Town. At each of the three points of the triangle there was a yellow light and in the middle of the craft was a blue and red light that went on and off and circled each other. My grandmother and I stood there for about 4 minutes watching the craft, and then I went home. I told my father about it and he went outside with me about 6 minutes after my grandmother and I first spotted it, but we could only make out a faint light. My grandmother had seen a similar craft several nights ago. Thanks to: Brian Vike, Director: http://www.hbccufo.com
Afghanistan - Dot-Sized UFO
KABUL -- On April 15, 2004, at 1:00 AM, the witness woke up to go to the toilet, and saw a bright dot-sized silver-colored flash in the sky moving very fast from about east to south. It did not produce any other lights that could be seen. At first, the witness thought it was a comet, but after a bit I found out that it wasn't one. The UFO was bright, fast and about the size of a star and it not put a trail behind it.
New Zealand – Stick like Object
AUCKLAND – The witness saw a white stick with wing like projections about one foot long flying at high speed on April 17, 2004, at 1 PM. It moved like a dart with four sets of wings. The witness took a video of a white stick like object moving very fast in a straight line with consistent speed.

UFOs or Dinosaurs on ISS Space Walk?
Jeff Challender –Director of Project Prove reports, "The two crewmen of ISS Expedition 8 prepared and trained, for the February 25, 2004, EVA for years. No aspect of the mission to be performed, no piece of equipment, no part to be installed should come as any surprise. Yet, in his own words, to Cosmonaut Kaleri these “Dinosaurs” came as a great and unwelcome, surprise on . Why?
Kaleri – So, dinosaurs are needed here. You can’t do…can’t do anything without them.
Korelyev – Say it again?
Kaleri – I say when the dinosaur is here. Yes! I have them here! (Pause for several seconds) Uh…these are with me now!
Korelyev – Yes. Let them be with you. Understood. (Several Minutes Later)
Foale – (garbled)…Sasha is attaching the dinosaurs now…
UPDATE -- A well known debunker has made claim that Cosmonaut Kaleri was referring to a snipping tool used in space walks. Personally, I don't see the connection. If one takes the word "Dinosaur" by itself out of context, perhaps such a case can be made. But when one takes the entire conversation Kaleri had with Russian controllers in Korelyev, the tool explanation simply does not fit. Both Kaleri, and Russian Mission Control spoke of "Dinosaurs" in plural. Astronaut Michael Foale stated that Sasha was installing the dinosaurs. Regardless if this is true or not, the tool claim isn't the answer. There was never any talk about cutting, or snipping, any bundless, or tiedowns. Thanks to Jeff Challender – http://projectprove.com/SashasDinosaurs.html
Mars – Bunny Hops to New Location
NASA writes, "After looking at pictures of Opportunity's lander up-close, I think we might have, again, spotted the bunny," said Johnson. "It looks as if the object has been blown under the north-facing egress ramp." Johnson and his colleagues believe that a light wind whirling from the north over Opportunity's Challenger Memorial Station landing site could have transported the article. Its small size indicates that it would be easily carried by even a light wind. The three-color Pancam images acquired of the object as part of the mission success panorama even showed some evidence that the object moved slightly between images from the gentle wind. Johnson estimates that the breeze pushed the "bunny ears" an estimated 5 to 6 meters (about 16 to 20 feet)
If Not a Bunny, Then What?
JPL states. "Our team believes that this odd-looking feature is a piece of soft material that definitely came from our vehicle," said Rob Manning, lead engineer for entry, descent and landing. "We cannot say exactly where it came from but we can say that there are several possibilities: cotton insulation, Vectran covers and wraps from the airbag, zylon bridle tensioning ties, or felt insulation from the gas generators.... The list goes on. We do not think this is parachute material, however, due to its color). http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/spotlight/opportunity/b19_20040304.html
Editor's Note: To confound things for the Mars Exploration Rover we have found another piece of airbag or blowing debris far from the initial bunny. Thanks to JPL for the photo.
New York – Flying Triangle
CORAM -- While driving on a neighborhood road, two friends looked out the sunroof of his car and saw three non blinking lights that were positioned like the trinity on April 23, 2004, at 7:30 PM. It must have been at least a mile high and moved slowly northeast. We watched about 1 1/2 minutes while it slowly moved away and rose up and flew on. Three weeks earlier, we had seen similar lights in the distance. ufocenter.com
BRISTOL/CANANDAIGUA – An almond shaped disk type object was observed hovering over the hills on April 30, 2004, at 11 PM. An object that was bigger than the light it projected was observed through binoculars and the outline of the object was visible but it was not lit. Two other similar objects were seen but they changed shape as they moved back and forth, then up and down. These were not planes, satellites and stars. The witness stated, “They moved within milliseconds of any activity in the sky that I have ever seen.” I could see almost every turn they made and as they changed from almond shape, to disk shape to something that seemed perfectly round, and hovered right over my house. There was a design ion the bottom of this one craft, almost looked like that of a phoenix or some type of fancy geometrical design. ufocenter.com
The one that came the closest was mostly grey that would shift into a bright blue, white and then it would flash something red once in a while. It had an aura around it and it would move towards the other two in the sky (which were farther away then the one I was observing), when that happened then the other two would seem to move rapidly and disappear at random moments and then reappear. As I watched this one come closer, I could feel a "pull" that is hard to explain unless someone knows or has experienced what I am talking about. I was outside when this happened and these objects were appearing in the eastern skies.
I stood there studying them for about 3 hours. I lost track of time and then became too tired to continue. I remember before walking into the house around 3 am, there was a huge thing that swept right under it (the object) on my final glance and I am not sure how to explain that one. Out of all the "suspected" UFOs I have seen, this one concerned me most. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director ufocenter.com
Silver Orb Seen In Over Central Park.
MANHATTAN – The observer who works on screen plays was walking around Central Park on April 30, 2004, at 3 PM, when he caught glimpse of what he thought was a child's silver balloon floating away. The object seemed to change shape, and flatten slightly, then round back out again as it flew west that was not the normal behavior of a floating balloon. I could not judge the distance accurately, so I cannot judge the size accurately. It seemed like a blimp, at times, which it may have been. But it appeared to flatten and behave more like a balloon. I could not identify it; hence, I'm entering this report. There was a lot of light in the sky but overcast. Thanks to J
New Jersey – Shape Changer
WOODBRIDGE -- The observer was traveling west on Oak Tree Road when his attention was drawn to a jet black glossy cylindrically shaped object that was floating northeast at less than 1000 feet on April 30, 2004, at 10:25 PM. The witness states, “It had to be huge, more them 75 feet in length and at least 10 feet in diameter. It was shaped like a glossy black sausage casing, and it would periodically go into a formal V-shape and then speed up in that direction of travel. As it crossed in front of me on Wood Avenue the sun would glint off this rotating sausage shaped object. Two smaller spheres were also observed, one attached at each end. This object would also rotate end over end stop and go straight vertical, hover for a few seconds after bending in the middle from a v-shaped profile, and maintain this attitude for a few seconds before going on.
It also maintained a true and straight attitude and height, for if it was a balloon, it would have risen while in my view. I pointed it out to a few passer-bys, but they said it was a balloon. The object then drifted in a stop and go manner out over the Garden State Parkway and then I lost sight of the object. It was 60 degrees in temp, partly sunny and the wind was calm. It is also 1 year ago (5-1-03) when I saw a similar changing object in the vicinity. Thanks to Peter Davenport ufocenter.com
Delaware - Hovering Craft
SEAFORD/OLD BRIDGE -- Driving south on Route13, the witness noticed two bright white lights low on the horizon on April 30, 2004, at 3:15 PM, that was not moving. As he drove closer and almost got under it, I noticed that it was just hovering about 1000 feet off the ground, so he pulled over and got out of the car and looked up. The witness states, “The object had two bright white lights aiming straight out and was shaped like a stop sign with just five sides, dark in color maybe grey or black, and was silent not a peep of sound.” I started to get a little nervous and had a delivery to make right down the street, so I jumped back in the car, made my delivery. When I was going back to the area I pulled over again to look, but it was gone. First time in my life I have ever seen a UFO. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director ufocenter.com
Pennsylvania – UFO Formation
PLYMOUTH BOROUGH – The observer claims that he had a sighting similar to these cross-shaped light formations on March 12, 2000 and on March 15 of this year. He saw them again gain on April 30, 2004, at 11 PM. These lights were in a line and wavered in a manner similar to a mirage. The size of object or objects and distance was difficult to determine but there was no sound and white lights with no visible attachment. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director ufocenter.com
South Carolina – Flying Triangle
VARNVILLE -- On Tuesday night April 28, 2004 around 11:35 PM, the witness saw an unidentified craft heading northeast with two lights blinking on and off. One was green and the other red. There were three big white lights forming a triangular shape on what seemed to be the bottom of the aircraft. The object was moving very slowly at about 30-45 miles per hour. As I kept looking at the craft it tilted a little to its side where I could see only the three big glowing lights at the bottom. I was amazed to see this unusual object go by making no sound as it passed almost on top of where I was standing.
It was just a couple of hundred feet away. This thing looked huge as it flew off. I was unable to see it anymore, so I went back inside my house and tried to go to sleep. I tossed and turned and could not sleep. This is the second sighting I have seen since moving to South Carolina. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director ufocenter.com
Florida – Sighting Investigation
FT. MYERS -- Mary Margaret Zimmer writes, she obtained confirmation of theFt. Myers sighting from an additional witness who states, “I, too, saw an object as I was leaving Wal-Mart with my wife, on January 4, 2004, at 2:30 PM.. We exited the building to the east and walked into the parking lot. The sun was setting so we were in the shadow of the building. We unloaded the shopping cart and noticed an object floating in the air to the west. At first I thought it was a weather balloon because it was puffy and it just bounced along at 500-1000 feet, but upon second glance I noticed it was more rectangular or even square. I said to my wife "What's that"? but she kept reading over the shopping receipt. I said "It’s a UFO", but she thought I was kidding and ignored me. When I looked back a third time it was gone. I've been a weather observer and aviator since 1984 and I have never seen anything like this before. It was big and definitely "hardware", and not a cloud. Thanks to Mary Margaret Zimmer MUFON, FI, SSD, ASD, http://www.skyscan.org
Ohio – Lights and Video
WARREN – On May 8, the witness saw a large bright light at midnight that was moving very fast and it was a big light. It was above the clouds. The weather station reported the clouds had a ceiling of 11,000 feet. We have an Air Force reserve base nearby at Youngstown Air Port. ufocenter.com
FOSTORIA – George Ritter is again capturing video of UFOs. Here is an interesting air stream like image moving at estimated 1000 mph.
Indiana - Silvery Disc
NOBLESVILLE – The witness was letting his dog out on April 23, 2004, at 8:30 PM, and saw the crescent moon a bright star below and to the north. Then far to the south there was a bright blue star and then below was a silvery dot. It moved from right to left but it kept disappearing. I swear for almost a split second it looked like the classic UFO (disc with half a circle on top in middle) but it was really far away...Oh, also it was being chased by either a helicopter or plane (light flashing) but the disc did not emit any light. Thanks to Peter Davenport ufocenter.com
Tennessee – Flying Triangle
KNOXVILLE – An unidentified flying object was spotted early in the morning on April 19, 2004, at 7:15 PM, while the witness was driving home from work on a beautiful, clear morning with the usual crisscrossing contrails in the sky. As he entered I-75 northbound, he noticed an unusual contrail rising vertically from the horizon. I pulled over, looked up through my windshield, and saw that the contrail continued straight up for about a third of the visible sky and then made a 20 to 25 degree course change to the left.
I followed the path of the contrail until I could see that a small, triangular shape continuing to travel almost vertically into the morning sky was making the contrail. It looked like a rocket on a path into the stratosphere. I watched the object moving upward until I could no longer see it. The contrail dissipated until only the initial vertical contrail was still faintly visible; it remained so for about another ten minutes. I could see the vertical contrail straight ahead of me in the northern sky. This was definitely NOT an aircraft. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director ufocenter.com
Kansas - Sphere-like Craft.
LAWRENCE -- My roommates were all watching TV in the dorm, when they suddenly jumped up and started freaking out while looking at three lights flying over Lewis Hall on April 21, 2004, at 10:35 PM. I was totally confused, and thought they were messing with me. The witness states, “I got up to look and saw lights floating in the sky, but I was still skeptical while the lights continued onward towards the dorms.” It then came into view. “It was obvious that it had a sphere like shape with three lights,” he said. I thought, this has to be an airplane, until it plainly came in view. It then flew over the dorm; I ran into the room across the hall and looked through their window. The UFO at this point began to roll head over heals (as visible by the lights) and then flew off quickly out of sight. Unless the government has some sort of secret hovering sphere like craft, I am now an unwanting believer. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director ufocenter.com
Utah – Disk
OAKLEY – The witness was taking photos when he caught a disk shaped object in the sky on April 30, 2004, at 3:30 PM. He states, “I was out taking photos of some property and noticed a disk shaped saucer in one of the photos that was kind of blurred like it was moving at a very fast speed. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director ufocenter.com
Arizona - Craft Sparks
SUPERIOR – The witness was driving east on Highway 60 in rural Arizona on April 28, 2004, at 9 PM, and saw the aircraft north of the road just outside Gold Canyon. The witness states, “At first, I thought I was seeing single sparks from fireworks, but then I noticed that there were evenly spaced rotating lights, and then it left my view.” I called my wife on my cell phone and she thought I was crazy. Then about 15 minutes later I saw the same craft as I was beginning my assent of Gonzales Pass on the south side of Highway 60.
This time it was lower in the night sky and I got scared. Again it appeared as single sparks of fireworks, but it was certainly a craft of some sort and the "sparks" were light. The lights did not light up the sky they seamed as though they were running lights. This area is notorious for military F-16 fighter training flights. I wonder if the government is testing new aircraft or if it was something else? Thanks to Peter Davenport ufocenter.com
Oregon - UFO Near JetTrails
PORTLAND –- Around 6:30 PM, on April 30, 2004, while it was still very much light outside, we noticed a beige/yellow circular shape "hovering" around the trails of a jet that had flown by moments earlier. It did not seem to be moving. We kept our eye on it for several minutes, and it remained still. We were making trips in and out of the apartment building, and we kept checking on it, trying to frame it at the same spot between a tree and a balcony in order to judge if it was moving. Unfortunately, we did not see it take off. We made another trip, and when we came back to the parking lot, it was gone. This event probably lasted 10 - 15 minutes. An airplane passed above the object during this time. Thanks to Peter Davenport. ufocenter.com
Washington – Aircraft-Carrier Overhead
SEATTLE – A huge object traveled from north to south that seemed very high in the sky and very massive, vaguely triangle/rectangle shaped on April 29, 2004, at 11:10 PM. It had three irregular shaped very dim glowing areas according to the witness. He states, “I was looking at the moon about 15 degrees to my right when I noticed it at about 80 degrees high.
It faded at 50 degrees and was a red/amber color. After testing and evaluation, I am certain that it was not an after-image from looking at the moon. The features were not similar and after looking away and back again with a little scrutiny I found it again. There was no noise and no flashing lights. At all times it was hard to discern. It seemed to pause at 50 degrees then continued. My impression was of an aircraft-carrier floating across the sky! Thanks to Peter Davenport ufocenter.com
Canada - Disk and Lights
TORONTO – The witness was his way home from work on April 20, 2004, at 8:36 PM, and driving through a stretch of farm field area, saw a very white light coming from his right side. The observer stated, "The light was so bright that I tried to speed up to go right past it, as I went past the light and saw a fairly large sized disk shaped UFO. Size wise I would say it was about the size of a fighter plane, but disk shaped. I slowed down to a stop about 50 feet past the UFO. I turned around and looked back, it seemed to be floating in the air. I wasn’t able to make out a color but I could definitely see the shape in the dark. It floated for about a minute, and then it sort of swung like a pendulum side to side before blasting to its left up towards the sky. It took about 10 -15 seconds for the UFO to vanish into the sky. Confused and shocked I drove home.
VANCOUVER, BC - A call came in from two witnesses who were sitting in their car at English Bay, British Columbia April 28, 2004. They reported that they were watching three unusual objects and giving me the description over the phone as they observed them at 10:45 p.m. The witness said she was watching the objects through her binoculars and said the one object was huge and the other two a lot smaller. The large object was circular in shape, bright white and filled with what she described as darker dots. In the center of the object there was nothing, or one would be able to see through it.
The object was also rotating and had two smaller objects flying around it. One of the crafts was reported to be triangular in shape and the other again more circular. The triangular craft would move a distance away from the larger object, makes sudden turns and at times they were able to observe the full triangular structure and at other times see it being flat. The smaller circular object would travel around the triangle shaped object and also move around the circumference of the larger object.
SMITHERS, BC -- The witness was on her way to work on April 16, 2004, and drove by Harris Auto Wrecking when she saw an extremely large bright pink object low in the sky at about 10:40 PM. It was about the size of a full moon and on the outer edge was a much lighter pink in color. As the woman drove along she said it passed overhead at tree top level and at approximately 150 feet away from her. As she slowed her truck down and turned around to watch the object move slowly into the distance, it finally just blinked out. Another lady went outside for a coffee break and the witness had also seen the UFO.
ACTION, ONTARIO -- A couple saw lights on April 24, 2004 at 8:30 p.m. and took photos of numerous lights that were flying around in an unusual formation. The object came back into their view and sat stationary for six to seven minutes when they noticed two smaller lights which appeared on either side of the larger light. Seeing this the couple jumped into their car and drove to a better location to watch the lights.
They had pulled off the highway and started taking the photos of the objects. After watching the strange lights in the sky the witness is re-thinking the whole topic on UFOs. Still observing the three lights, one of the smaller objects shot off away from the larger object at an incredible rate of speed. While still watching, another light which was sitting stationary, started to flicker out. Then all of a sudden in about 2 seconds it was in another location of the sky, hovering. Another light appeared, taking the place of the light that just had flickered out. In total there were 5 to 6 lights sitting in the sky at one time. There was a formation of lights, one large extremely bright one and all the rest were smaller in size and dimmer. Thanks to Brian Vike, Director www.hbccufo.com
Mexico – Air Force Pilots Chase UFO
Jaime Maussan, researcher and TV journalist reports, "The Mexican Department of Defense along with Maussan's research team in an unprecedented collaboration released the details of recent UFO sightings over the Yucatan Peninsula. A drug tracking aircraft on routine surveillance antinarcotics operation detected numerous UFOs and videotaped and tracked with radar and infrared devices. A two engine Merlin C26A detected an unknown traffic at 10,500 feet over Ciudad del Carmen, Campeche airspace and requested interceptor aircraft to launch to chase the possible drug planes. The Merlin approached the unknown traffic and saw them on AN/PS 143 BRAVO VICTOR 3 RADAR and the FLIR STAR ZAPPHIR II was recording the object in infrared. As many as eleven UFOs were tracked maneuvering at high speed that carried the story Mexican Air Force story.
Mexican Air Force pilots filmed 11 unidentified objects in the skies over southern Campeche state, a Defense Department spokesman confirmed Tuesday. A videotape show at
least six lights that were filmed by the aircrew
on March 5 at 3,500 meters in the evening sky.
Lt. German Marin the radar operator said, He was a little afraid. Thanks to Dr. Bruce Cornet and ABCTV who notified me about the incident.
Campeche, Mexico, Hannelore Lode, whose husband speaks Spanish
has been watching Mexican TVthe last several days the TV is full of
stories and interviews with pilots, police, government and officials
are reporting about a "really large UFO" and as many as six other ones
of smaller size. "They stayed around." "The big one had a ring around
it. The Mexican Department of Defense is acknowledging the existence
of UFOs.
TIJUANA – The observer was flying home from San Marcos over Tijuana
on April 26, 2004, at 8:50 PM, and noticed a blinking light out his
airplane window. The object dropped down and then darted to the
right and then up again. I watched this light for about 15 minutes
as my plane passed by the stars. The object seems to go with
the plane. All of a sudden it flashed blue then orange and dropped
straight down very rapidly and disappeared.

UK/England – Five Triangles
LONDON – Two friends were on a roof terrace in Swiss Cottage London NW 2, after a sunny day on April 25, 2004, at 2:40 PM. They just switched off the outside light to look at the stars and noticed five triangle shaped UFOs appearing at about 45 degrees flying southwest, as if crossing the upper-atmosphere. I called my friend thinking for a second it would be a shooting star visible for a second or two. But I quickly realized it wasn’t as bright and there were 5 of them, one ahead of four in formation, they were light grey in color (I’m colorblind) sort of triangle shaped. They didn’t go brighter or darker, they seemed to be very high and very fast, and were moving independently but never breaking the general formation. They went straight over our heads and we had to twist our necks to follow them. There were no flashing lights; and no apparent source of light at the back of the craft. It was eerie but the adrenaline was rushing thought me. They disappeared at the same angle in a thin cloud going just slightly more south. It felt like a privileged moment, meant to happen. I couldn’t care less if no-one believed me, now I know. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director ufocenter.com
Netherlands - Strange Entity Photo
HOEVEN -Holland - On May 6, 2004, Robbert van den Broeke a 24-year-old, took this image of a strange creature late at night. He got an urge to get his Olympus digital camera and wait in the living room to photograph something he felt was visiting. At first he saw a faint mist which he photographed. He took a series of photographs over the next forty minutes and this is the fifth image of a strange alien like entity. Robbert van den Broeke from Hoeven is a renowned medium, who says to be in contact with entities from another dimension. He also regularly discovers crop circles and saw balls of light with Nancy Talbot. The entities show themselves to him as Balls of Light. This week they showed themselves differently: like grey-white forms with a small head and big almond-shaped slant-eyes.
According to Van den Broeke we don't have to be afraid. The alien beings come 'with love, to teach us to take care of the earth and to
be better for each other." Thanks to Toine Trust

Malaysia - Strange Flying Star
SEREMBAN – The witness suddenly woke up at about 5 in the morning, because the fan wasn't working and there was a sudden power blackout on April 21, 2004. He states, "A power blackout is rare in my area so I went outside to relax and saw this weird light that look like a star but it was zooming in the sky from north to south faster than an aircraft but produced no sound." At about 5:45 AM, I grabbed my binoculars for a close look at it and this strange star like thing was gone. I know it was not an aircraft.Thanks to Peter Davenport Director ufocenter.com
Australia - Cluster Of White Lights
ADELAIDE -- Around 8.30 PM, on April 25, 2004 I was inside in the kitchen on the phone to my friend when my husband came into the kitchen and asked if I wanted to see a UFO? I didn’t really know what to think as he is such a skeptic and is a very logical thinker, so I went outside for a minute. It was cloudy and at first I couldn't see anything, but then I saw a series of white lights, not round but more rectangular shaped lights and they formed a cluster, flashing. Then a second circle of lights formed around the cluster, then a third and final circle of lights surrounded the other two circles, the lights were rotating in a circle and were flashing. I could barely believe my eyes. What we were looking at was the base of something of incredible size. It was huge, about the size of a football field, massive, and the small circle of lights seemed to spin and the whole thing tilted.
I am frightened, and I kept asking my husband what is it? He said, I don’t know, that is why I had to show you. Ten minutes later he went outside again and it had gone. It was huge and was definitely the bottom of something very large, the sheer size of it, is what got me. How could something that big be in the sky? The lights must have been extremely bright to shine through the clouds as they did. I am a mother of four grown children I am a pharmacy assistant and my husband is a supervisor at his work.

More Evidence for Life on Mars
"It is a capital mistake to theorize before you have all the evidence. Insensibly, one begins to twist the facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. It biases the judgment." -Sherlock Holmes-
This weeks files discuss: Increased Solar Brightness and Warming, the Martian Meteorite EETA 79001 Indicates Life, Mars – Bunny Appears to Move, Possible Bunker Found on Mars, Oil Crisis Looming. Sightings include New York - Triangular Shaped Lights, New Jersey – Four See UFO, Pennsylvania - Light, Maryland - Large Flying Triangle, Florida – Flying Triangle Craft Disappears, IIlinois - Flying Triangle, Missouri - UFO Sighted By Two, Colorado - Stars Move in Perfect Formation, Oregon - Sphere Cluster Release's Smaller Objects, California – More UFOs Videotaped, Canada – Seven Fast Objects, Mexico's DoD Releases UFO Video and Evidence, Panama -Bright light in the Sky, and in Thailand - Hundreds of Floating Stars
Increased Solar Brightness and Warming
The Sun may have increased in brightness over the last couple of decades as summarized in the following press release: Since the late 1970s, the amount of solar radiation the Sun emits during times of quiet sunspot activity has increased by nearly .05 percent per decade, according to the study. “This trend is important because, if sustained over many decades, it could cause significant climate change,” said Willson, a researcher affiliated with NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and the Earth Institute at Columbia University. “Historical records of solar activity indicate that solar radiation has been increasing since the late 19th century,” says Willson. “If a trend comparable to the one found in this study persisted during the 20th century it would have provided a significant component of the global warming.
Editor: The warming trend on the Earth appears to be caused by the gradual warming of the sun.
Mars - Once Had Life
This meteorite, which originally weighed nearly 8 kilograms, provided the first strong proof that meteorites could come from Mars. EETA 79001 is an achondrite meteorite, a basalt lava rock nearly indistinguishable from many Earth rocks. This picture shows a sawn face of this fine-grained gray rock (the vertical stripes are saw marks). The black patches in the rock are melted rock — glass — formed when a large meteorite hit Mars near the rock. This meteorite impact probably threw EETA 79001 off Mars and on its way to Antarctica on Earth. The black glass contains traces of martian atmosphere gases. On August 7, 1996, President Clinton and NASA announced to the world evidence of fossil bacteria and organic material had been found on ALH 84001, a meteorite discovered in Antarctica that was believed to have come originally from Mars.
Martian Meteorite EETA 79001
Another meteorite found in Antarctica, EETA 79001 also indicates life existed on Mars in relatively recent history. The achondrite meteorite thought to be only 175 million years old was blasted off Mars 600,000 years ago, indicating that life existed on Mars in the relatively recent past. The black patches in the rock are melted rock — glass — formed when a large meteorite hit Mars near the rock and the impact probably threw EETA 79001 off Mars and sent it on its way to Antarctica. The black glass contains traces of martian atmosphere gases.
This picture shows a sawn face of this fine-grained gray rock (the vertical stripes are saw marks). Rocks as young as the SNC meteorites had to have formed on a geologically active planet, and the most likely planet was Mars. The Mariner 9 and Viking Orbiter images had shown that Mars has enormous volcanos, up to 3 times as tall as Mauna Kea in Hawaii.
Mars – Bunny Appears to Move
Last week we carried a story and photo of a small white cotton object that was imaged by the Mars Rover. Gary Gene Ford a graduate student in Mechanical and Aerodynamical Engineering writes, "Lift and drag - both important in convecting light weight objects - are related by (Attitude dependent) Drag and Lift Coefficients, Cd and Cl, respectively,
which multiply (1/2)(Rho)(speed)^2, and then times exposed area A.
Now Rho is Air MASS DENSITY, which in the absence of micro and nano particle dusts in the air (it occurs once in a while but NOT often) of MARS, is extremely LOW, something like Earth Air at 120,000 feet elevation - the Molecular Weight of Mars Air is HIGHER than the 29 of Earth, due to Mars Air's 95% constitution as Carbon Dioxide, with molecular weight 44, thus slightly compensating for the approximately 1% or less Pressure at Surface of Mars Air, compared to 1 bar of Earth Air at Sea Level), giving a LOW LOW value at "low speed" for the fluid factor (1/2)rho.v^2. To lift an Object, the fluid factor must be larger than the Weight of the Object divided by its external surface Area.
in fact typically CONSIDERABLY LARGER than its Weight per its unit exposed surface area.
This only obtains for very 'fluffy objects' (Air viscosity also helps, as with Dandelion 'Puff' seeds), or else with objects of very small size. Anything NOT very 'fluffy', of low mass density hence weight density, and of small size IS UNLIKELY TO BE BLOWN ANYWHERE in the Extant Super low Mass Density Martian Air! THUS, the Rabbit must either be (1) Self Moving, (2) Moved by something Self Moving (a stream of brine flowing downhill would be a possibility), or (3) Fluffy and caught in a massive, dust air mass density enhanced, high speed, Martian DUST STORM!

Mars - Possible Bunker Found?
Sam Veazey writes, "I have been researching the images from the Spirit Rover and have discovered a group of objects that are truely remarkable." There is what appears to be a large bunker with what may be an observatory rising from a domed roof. There is also what might be a transportation device that is located just above and to the left of the bunker. At the right end of the structure is what could be the entrance in the shape of an archway. Thanks to Sam Veazey in White Plains, Georgia.
Thanks to JPL for this photo that can be found at:
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all/2/p/101/2P135342508EFF2900P2378L7M1.JPG
Editor's Note: Sam Veazey has found a concrete rectangle appearing object just below the crest of the hill that is not normally found in nature. Other similar objects with symbols and faces have been found. We ask for comments from photographic experts. That bunker like object looks very different from most of the other rocks, so I suggest we drill a hole in it. What possible reasons could NASA have for spending millions going to Mars without carrying a couple pounds of equipment to test for life?
Oil Crisis Looming Will Dwarf 1973
CBS MarketWatch columnist Paul By Paul Erdman writes, "As the price of crude oil keeps rising toward $40 a barrel and beyond, it has become increasingly clear that the world is heading toward a major oil crisis -- in terms of both price and supply -- that will dwarf that of 1973. There can be no doubt that the fall of the House of Saud would thrust the entire Western world into an energy crisis of unprecedented proportions. For many of us who have been observers of global energy trends for what now amounts to decades, this has become not a matter of "if" but rather one of "when." We are facing a convergence of three forces that will have a potentially explosive effect on the market for crude oil. They are:
1. A growing geopolitical crisis in the Middle East, which is now threatening to spread beyond Iraq to Saudi Arabia, the world's largest producer and exporter of crude oil.
2. A surge in global demand for energy and particularly crude oil and its derivatives, fueled by the recovery of both the American and Japanese economies and the unprecedented growth of China, which has just replaced Japan as the world's second largest consumer of crude oil.
3. A structural deterioration of the world's oil supply. What is involved here is nothing short of an imminent peaking out of production of crude oil on a global basis -- known by energy industry insiders as "Hubbert's Peak" -- which would turn a cyclical supply/demand crisis into a structural energy crisis of unprecedented proportions. (snip)
Editor's Note: This data has been available to the government for years and is part of the reason for the invasion of Iraq. The impending shortage of oil may stop the flow of food to your local grocery store. World economics are at a critical point.
New York - Triangular Shaped Lights
ROME -- Three witnesses saw lights in the shape of a flying triangle traveling at a constant speed high in the night sky on May 9, 2004, at 10:45 PM. The lights were white and did not waver in position nor did they blink as they traveled due south in a very clear sky. It was a very large object that was witnessed by two professionals and one student. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
New Jersey – Four See UFO
FREEHOLD -- There was four observers on the porch just enjoying the night on May 10, 2004, at 10:40 PM., when the boyfriend saw it first and jokingly said "Look a UFO!" The observer states, "We all looked up and realized, oh my God what else could it be because we saw an orange circle and it wasn't moving steadily, it was kind of wobbling like a Frisbee that you threw." But the object stayed in the air much longer than that, and instead of coming down like a Frisbee would it simply vanished into the clouds. About two minutes later the second one appeared. This one seemed to be flying sideways and it to disappeared within seconds. What else could it have been? Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
Pennsylvania - Light
GIBSONIA -- While viewing Venus on May 8, 2004, at 11:30 PM, off to the left and higher, there appeared at first to be a shooting star. It was a very bright white light with no tail. It started in an arc coming down in a 45 degree angle, and then began to zigzag. The object stopped in the trees for at least 20 seconds so the witness went to get his camera but upon returning it was gone. The event lasted about two minutes. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
Maryland - Large Flying Triangle
KNOXVILLE – The observers saw a large flying triangle of three star-like lights moving noiselessly, slowly, and smoothly east across the sky on May 8, 2004, at 11:40 PM. The object moved in an arc across the sky of about 50 degrees, with each light quickly fading individually as it passed a certain star near Mars. The object occluded stars when it passed over them, but later when we looked for further occlusion none was observed. Our assumption was that we saw a formation of planes. We are on Dulles Airport flight path and are use to seeing these aircraft and this was not Dulles traffic. The time and rural location would have made any sound audible. There was none. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
North Carolina – Man Reports UFO Sighting
ROWAN - Jessie Burchette of the Salisbury Post reports,
"They're not sure whether it had a red tail, but Arnold and
Lena Crook have spent the last three nights watching a
dancing unidentified flying object. "It's a good ways up
there, way high up in the sky and a long distance off,"
said Crook, a former Granite Quarry alderman. The
far off encounter started Monday night when he went
outside his home at 305 N. Oak St. to smoke a cigarette.
Looking to the southeast, he saw a light that "kind of
danced around." He called to his wife to come out and
take a look at "a dancing star." "She said it was an airplane,"
said Arnold. "It's not an airplane, just wait and watch it jump
around," he assured her. "It" did a circle, and a square and
just kept kind of dancing. She was quickly convinced "it"
wasn't an airplane. Tuesday night, Lena joined Arnold to
check the sky, and there "it" was, just jumping around.
Wednesday night, they were back out and "it" had grown
or had friends. "Last night it was several lights, kind of like
a big old box," said Arnold. Lena kept pointing out a red tail,
but Arnold disagreed. "I didn't see a tail," he said. They
hadn't thought much about it, or told anyone until Thursday.

Florida – Flying Triangle Craft Disappears!
FT .LAUDERDALE BEACH – At 3:35 PM, while on Pompano Beach we watched a black triangle shaped object moving at high altitude on May 8, 2004. We first thought it was a large military aircraft, but the closer it came it was apparent that it was huge in size and dwarfed commercial airliners flying into Ft. Lauderdale/Miami Airports. We could see the contrail over the Atlantic Ocean that was huge circles. The craft approaching land went into a partial cloud cover, but you could see through the cloud. We watched to see it come out of the cloud, but it simply disappeared. We waited and looked around in other directions but it was gone. Strangely the contrail stopped short of land and the craft was just gone and the normally busy flight path was empty of aircraft for at least a hour. The contrail stayed for 30 to 45 minutes. It was bigger than 10-15 commercial jets set side by side. They would not have covered it, It was flying at an estimated 35000 feet. I don't know, what it was or why vanished. There was no sound. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
IIlinois - Flying Triangle
RUSHVILLE – A couple went to a friends
house to relax around their camp fire on May 16, 2004, and noticed four falling stars within about an hours time. Driving home they traveled a country road and stopped about 2 AM, and noticed a light moving very slowly across the sky. The witness states, "I pointed at the lights and asked my girlfiend if she saw them? and she said "What that triangle?" That's when I saw the third light following behind forming a triangle. It looked like 3 stars moving about five miles per hour but they stayed exactly the same distance apart. We couldn't see the craft, but the stars couldn't been seen within the area of the lights, so it was more like watching a black triangular void with a star at each point slowly moving across the sky. The craft was completely silent and looked like it was about 100' above the trees. We watched the lights for about 10 minutes, until they were obstructed by the trees. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
Missouri - UFO Sighted By Two
ST. JOSEPH -- St. Joseph News-Press reports. "After witnessing an unidentified flying object in the early hours of May 4, Ivana Calhoun, a carrier for the St. Joseph News-Press, painted the scene. ‘I’m positive I saw it but what it was, I don’t know,’ she said. A couple of rural St. Joseph News-Press carriers 100 miles apart see the same UFO! Ivana Calhoun and David Stafford both claimed they did see something strange zip past their windshields one morning this month. That Mrs. Calhoun, who was delivering papers in rural McFall, Mo., saw the same object Mr. Stafford saw while traveling through Grayson Mo., makes it even stranger. “I’ve never seen nothing like it, and I’ve seen plenty of shooting stars. I’m out there every night. I know what they look like,” Mrs. Calhoun said. Mr. Stafford said he’s driven the same road a million times and never seen anything like it, either. Not for several months, at least. “About nine months ago,” he said, “I saw one on the side of me, like following me.” For Mrs. Calhoun, Tuesday morning, May 4, didn’t seem out of the ordinary. After delivering a paper on her route, she saw about 50 feet away and 50 feet up a fluorescent orange sphere the size of a basketball zip across her windshield.
The orb flew in a straight line and didn’t make a sound, she said. In less than three seconds, it was gone.” It so happened that Mrs. Calhoun was on her cell phone talking to Mr. Stafford at the time. He was just leaving Grayson, Mo., when he saw the same “Day-Glo” orange object about 30 feet away. “We described it to each other, and it was the exact same thing,” Mr. Stafford said. “I thought it was a falling star, but it was going parallel to the ground. And both of their watches read 3:45 a.m. Mrs. Calhoun made a detailed report with the National UFO Reporting Center. She was a guest on the “John Rense Program,” a nightly radio show about UFOs. Mrs. Calhoun and Mr. Stafford both said the UFO hasn’t kept them from their paper routes. They both were back at it the next morning. “That customer hasn’t missed a paper,” Mrs. Calhoun said. “But (the customer) has no idea I’m scared of his yard.” Thanks to Mike Frizzell
Colorado - Stars Move in Perfect Formation
LITTLETON -- While looking up at the stars, two friends both noticed at about the some time that a few stars appeared to be moving, then faded from view at 11:15 PM, on May 8, 2004. They pointed them out to the third person and they watched as the stars continued to move in a large triangle formation. The formation was much larger than any plane could have been, even if it was flying at a low altitude. The formation was half the area of the inside of the Little Dipper, which is where we first spotted it. The object continued to move at a fairly good clip, at one point obstructing the view of another stationary star, until it faded from view. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
Oregon - Sphere Release's Smaller Objects
SHERWOOD – A pilot spotted an object overhead that looked like a balloon at 5-10,000 feet in a clear sky with only a few scattered cumulus clouds on May 8, 2004, at 1:45 PM. The witness brought out his 8x42 binoculars and saw a sphere cluster of about 5 spheres with a cord hanging down and a small object at the bottom. He thought this could still be balloons so he got his 18x50 image stabilized binoculars and noticed the cord and the attached object had separated and was falling away. The sphere's were about 5 to 10 feet in diameter. They were moving with the upper level wind west to east at about 10 knots. The spheres were not rotating or tumbling like balloons would and were an off-white color. At about ten minutes duration, I noticed three smaller sized spheres near but moving away from the cluster. No planes or confirmed balloons were in the area. Two minutes later, I noticed three smaller objects' closer to the cluster and moving away at a slightly faster speed. After some distance away from cluster, the smaller objects disappeared. Size difference between cluster and small object's would be like: pea to a golf ball. Then, focusing on the cluster, I actually saw three smaller object's being released by the cluster and this was repeated two more times.
LAKE OSWEGO -- As a long time sky watcher and up close daytime UFO witness, I believe this is not a balloon event and not ordinary. No photos or video taken.
((NUFORC Note: We spoke with this witness via telephone, and he sounds to us to be quite credible. PD)) Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
Colorado – Flying Triangle Sighting
DENVER -- This morning, at about 3:35 AM, the witness went out in the back yard for a smoke on May 10, 2004, and saw a pretty amazing sighting. He noticed a star moving, then another near it. After checking to make sure it wasn't illusory movement, he noticed a third. He states, "Basically, it was a triangular formation, two lights leading with the third trailing them." The formation came in from the south-east and as the trio passed directly overhead, a fourth "appeared", joined the trio, and seemed to drop in altitude (perhaps because it definitely grew much larger and brighter than the other three). The fourth came in from the east, then changed course and speed to match the trio; the fourth partner sped off ahead of the trio to the north-east. The trio followed slowly, taking about 3 minutes to cross the sky and disappear. By the way, I say "trio" rather than "HUGE black triangle" because the stars only seemed to dim and blur as the triangular formation crossed them, rather than completely blocking stars as I expect an intervening triangular vehicle would. Anyway, I was amazed and felt fortunate. "Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
California – UFOs Videotaped
MODESTO -- R. David Anderson writes, "I have had a busy week taking several pictures of UFOs. These were moving above my house at about 1, 000 ft or lower depending on how large they are in size. Today ( Sat ) after taking pictures of a UFO which was hovering in the East ( in windy conditions! ) a big plane was circling our house. I looked at it in binoculars and it had U.S.A.F. emblems on the wings.

SACRAMENTO – A white UFO was observed by Jeff Challender and his family moving against the wind. The object Candy apple red UFO with a fin at end with a yellow flange with a red Saturn like UFO. There was a strobe on leading edge of craft on May 3, 2004. The object was seen at 9:15 AM near the American River. Thanks to Jeff Challender
Canada – Seven Fast Objects
EDMONTON -- On May 10, 2004, at 12:45 AM, the witness was looking northeast out a large picture window when he saw a meteor shower in the northwest sky. However, the way the lights were traveling made him quickly realize they were not meteors. I went out my front door and watched as they moved like birds flying south. There were seven objects moving at about the same speed but changing places. The creepiest part of the whole experience was that they didn't seem too far off and they where completely silent. I am involved with jet car racing and know that to attain a speed like what I witnessed would have to involve some sort of afterburning jet engine that would create and incredible amount of noise at that altitude and speed. They appeared to fly from Fort Saskatchewan towards the Camrose area. I was a bit 'creeped' out about the sighting. Thanks to Brian Vike www.hbccufo.com
Panama - Bright light in the Sky
RIO HATO -- The eight witnesses were at a World War II US military installation, 108 kilometers west of Panama City on the Pacific coastline on May 9, 2004, at 1 AM. The group of eight neighbors observed unusual light activity inland to the north of their location at the Costa Blanca Golf and Resort. First, we observed three different circular steadily bright white lighted objects shoot across the sky five to ten minutes apart. Five minutes later they observed a narrow line of bright white light moving parallel. As the line was continuing to move, suddenly a bright white oval appeared for one to three seconds, and then changed back into a single narrow bright white light. We observed the sequence of light pattern twice and then they completely disappeared. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
Mexico's DoD Releases UFO Evidence
MEXICO CITY -- On May 11, 2004, an international press conference was held to announce the findings of a joint official and private effort to investigate a UFO sighting. The Department of Defense collaborated with a top Mexican UFO researcher, Jaime Maussan, in the release of information concerning the appearance of eleven UFO's near a Mexican Air Force Merlin C26/A flight that was on a drug surveillance mission on March 5, 2004, about 5 PM, about an hour before sunset. Using infrared cameras and radar tracking, the eight-man crew of the flight was able to monitor the UFOs, which at one point formed a circle around the flight.
General Clemente Vega Garcia, the Secretary of Defense released the tracking data to Maussan in an amazing gesture showing a willingness to work with private investigators. This is one of few times a government has been willing to share evidence showing UFOs are real. The data was released on May 9, 2004 by Maussan on his popular television program 'Great Mysteries of the Third Millennium' and was shown all over the world. Maussan was initially contacted on April 20, by the Department of Defense and had a meeting the next day. The Secretary of Defense also provided the evidence to international media outlets in an unprecedented new approach to dealing with the UFO phenomenon by a major world government.
Major Magdaleno Castańon, Command pilotcan be heard in the video: "Put on your seatbelts" "Don't scare me." The UFOs came within two miles and should have been seen visually since it was still daylight but were clearly seen on infrared cameras that register heat.
"I wouldn't know how to identify it...but they must be completely real," said Lt. Mario Adrian Vazquez, operator of the infrared equipment, who insisted that tampering with said images was impossible. Eleven targets were not detected on the RADAR screen, while sixteen objects were picked up on the FLIR. Three targets were detected by the RADAR, but the other ones on our left side never appeared on the RADAR. Gradually, the UFOs seem to surround the aircraft in what appeared as intelligent manuevers.
Jaime Maussan called upon Mexican scientists to research the UFO phenomenon in order to render an opinion and "not dismiss videos a priori that show the existence of intelligence of unknown origin" and that "astronomers or other scientist quit their prejudiced notions and cease deriding those who have studied the phenomenon and know that there is intelligent life present [from other worlds] as fools, madmen, dreamers or mystics."
Mexican astronomer Jose de la Herr=E1n provided his scientific arguments regarding the impossibility that [the lights] could be alien spacecraft, as has been speculated. He claims that they could have been meteorite fragments. He explained that when a meteor crashes into the Earth's atmosphere, it shatters into many pieces which appear as though they were static and aligned with one another as they give off an intense glow. "And of course, people who do not know such phenomena occur interpret them in many ways upon seeing them. For example, they can say they were alien spaceships by virtue of having seen them."
Rafael Navarro of the Plasma Chemistry and Planetary Study Laboratory of the UNAM Institute of Nuclear Science, added that these are undoubtedly unidentified spherical objects shown by the Air Force, but under no circumstances do they show the visit of alien spacecraft. The space scientist told "Cronica" that it is almost certainly "space junk" resulting from hundreds of satellites burning up upon reentry into earth's atmosphere after finishing their service cycle. The Mexican scientist cautioned that UFO reports may increase, since humanity is launching an increasing number of satellites that will burn up as they are attracted by Earth's gravity. Navarro regretted that these speculative news items should exert such a hold on the public's imagination as opposed to serious efforts conducted in Mexico and elsewhere in the world to detect the presence of extraterrestrial life. – Thanks to Translation (c) 2004 Scott Corrales Institute of Hispanic Ufology (IHU)
Editor's Note: It's important to note that the Mexican
Secretary of Defense conducted a complete investigation
with their own team shortly after the March 5, 2004
incident and also with the help of scientists and experts
selected as government advisors. The investigation
was conducted confidentially and followed every
procedure required and were inconclusive. It was not
until April 20, 2004, when General Clemente Vega, Secretary
of Defense decided, with his staff, to contact Jaime
Maussan as an advisor to aid in the investigation to
conduct an independent study and analysis of the C26A
data. All the facilities were given to Jaime as well as
authorization to access the files and interrogate the crew.
The conclusions are clear, they were UFOs – solid
objects of unknown origin - flying in airspace along
with the Merlin C26A. The Secretary of Defense
accepted the Maussan research team's conclusions
as an unexplained event. http://www.jaimemaussan.tv/
Editor's Note: Based on the limited information available it seems unlikely that either plasmas, or space debris would surround and remain near the aircraft for a significant period of time. The fact that the objects were picked up on both infrared and radar would indicate they were generating heat and were relatively solid objects. Although, heavy rain can be picked up on radar, the edges are almost always fuzzy in appearance. The objects had relatively sharp edges indicating a fairly solid object flying at 11,000 feet much higher than Earth lights and similar phenomenon. These were clearly unidentified flying objects UFOs that were not observed in the visual spectrum. Their maneuvers seemed to indicate intelligence. This does not infer they were alien spaceships. However, if they were advanced military aircraft they have capabilities far in advance of known technology.
Up to recently, few UFO sightings have been acknowledged by governments although significant 1999 COMETA Report was released by former top French military officials. The COMETA report can be seen at the Skywatch International website.
The Mexican Department of Defense effort in collaborating with Maussan helps legitimate research into the UFO phenomenon and perhaps will encourage other countries to follow suit. The US is becoming increasingly isolated in its strict non-disclosure policy. If major world governments begin disclosing information concerning contemporary UFO sightings, then it may be predicted that the non-disclosure policy in place for over 50 years may soon come to an end. With our findings of intelligent life at least in the past on Mars, the political implications of an extraterrestrial presence could dominate global politics.
Thailand - Hundreds of Floating Stars
Bangkok – A couple lives in a high rise apartment building on the 17th floor in the middle of the city so they have a spectacular view. On May 7, 2004, at 11:48 PM, they were watching TV when the husband told his wife, "There were sparks in the sky." They saw there was something peculiar. At first there was only a few of these red lights or these red star like objects. There was a tall building blocking a part of my panoramic view of the sky, so it looked like these objects were coming from behind that building. And then it kept on coming, lots and lots of it... I'd say hundreds or more, lots of them!
And they floated upwards toward the sky slowly, dispersing themselves as they moved, distancing themselves from each other. There was no sound and we were just watching it in awe. I have never seen anything like it. I'm a UFO skeptic and also a backyard astronomer. I'd like to call this a natural phenomenon, but nothing fits the description. Whatever it is that I saw I highly doubt that its a meteor shower, because it doesn't come from a point in the sky. Rather it comes from just above the horizon and floated upwards, traveling from west to north of the night sky before it disappeared slowly. It wasn't fireworks either, there was no noise at all. I'm pretty sure other people must have seen it, because it happened in the center of Bangkok. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com

UFO Upsurge Coming as Canada Sightings Increase
The following stories are covered in these files: Lord Hill-Norton, Disclosure Witness Dies 1915-2004 New York – Photo of Orange Headlights, Florida – Egg, Ohio – Large Disk, Wisconsin – Bright Green Fireball, Missouri – Swinging Star, Utah – Saucer UFO Filmed, Arizona - Lights, California - Bright Sphere UFO's Filmed, Canada – Intense UFO Sightings, Puerto Rico – UFO Comes Out of the Sea, Cuba – UFO Lands, UFO Crashes In Venezuela?, United Kingdom – Cylinder Filmed, Moon – Bright Flash, and Mexican Air Force FLIR Sees UFO Investigation .
Lord Hill-Norton, Disclosure Witness Dies
Lord Hill-Norton was a five star admiral and the former head of the British Ministry of Defense who stated, "that there is a serious possibility that we are being visited and have been visited for many years by people from outer space from other civilizations that it behooves those to find out who they are, where they come from, and what they want. They should be the subject of regress scientific investigation, and not the subject of brought dishing by tabloid newspapers." Lord Hill-Norton and other high ranking general's have told us that they were never officially briefed on the subject of UFO's.
Nick Pope writes, "I m sorry to have to report that Lord Hill-Norton died on Sunday, May 18, 2004, aged 89. Admiral of the Fleet The Lord Hill-Norton G.C.B. was a former Chief of the Defence Staff and Chairman of the NATO Military Committee, who in his later years became greatly interested in the UFO phenomenon. His long and distinguished naval career included active service on Arctic convoy duty during the Second World War, command of a destroyer during the Suez Crisis, and a later posting in command of the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal.
His interest in UFOs came after his retirement, and he wrote forewords to a number of Timothy Good's books, including Above Top Secret and Unearthly Disclosure. He was particularly interested in the Rendlesham Forest incident, and worked with Georgina Bruni on this. He asked her to draft some questions which he subsequently tabled in Parliament, trying to elicit an official response to what he felt were a number of important defense and national security issues raised by the events. He was passionate about the Royal Navy, UFOs and a wide range of other subjects. When I called on him last summer, I found him as lively as ever. He had taken an interest in a UFO sighting involving military witnesses on HMS Manchester and had asked me to update him. He told me that despite the frustrations, he intended to remain involved in ufology for as long as he was able. Lord Hill-Norton appeared in several UFO documentaries and was often highly critical of the Ministry of Defence's policy on the UFO phenomenon. He will be sadly missed. Best Wishes, Nick Pope
Editor's Note - Lord Hill Norton was a great man of courage who immensely helped the field of Ufology. I'm always saddened when a fellow Disclosure Project witness dies.

New York – Photo of Orange Headlights
PINE BUSH -- Vinny Polise writes, "Recently my partner and I traveled to some of the infamous roads of the lower Hudson Valley looking for an unusual UFO activity. The weather has started to become warmer, so sky watchers get ready! On the night of April 29, 2004, we were on our usual run taking photos and anticipating something would happen but we did not notice anything! The whole night my friend took photos right above the tree line hoping to catch something on film and he did! When I received the pictures back from the store I scanned through them all and they all seemed completely blank. With a more careful look, to my surprise I found a photo with two orange headlights. Upon enlarging and bringing out the depth along with its color, I found a possible flying triangle craft that wasn't seen with our eyes while filming.
I have posted this photo along with its enlargement on the website. There are hundreds of photos of strange objects over Pine Bush www.pinebushufo.com and click the “Updated photos” link and your there. The UFO Meetings are still being held every first Wednesday of each month at 7:00 PM. If you need directions or have any questions please contact Vinny Polise Sightings@pinebushufo.com
Florida - Egg
WINTER SPRINGS -- Partly cloudy and sunny afternoon during the FCATs in beginning of March 7, 2004, Seminole County that were being given and I had taken two of my high autistic students outside for a little breather. I am at this point about 15 miles northwest from Orlando International Airport. I am fairly new to FL and was looking east at the large birds that fly around the area and planes going overhead. I would imagine planes are at a height where it would be about 5-10 minutes before they arc and land at OIA. I had just seen a plane fly by and not 2 minutes later I saw a silver egg shaped craft cruising at the same altitude as the plane that had just passed, (I thought at first it was another plane). There was no noise, no wings and no trail behind it. It was going slower than the plane previously, about 15 sec of viewing time. Smaller part of the egg was flying in front. Didn't notice it until I could see the side and then the back of it. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
Ohio – Large Disk
Fostoria - George Ritter captured this video of a disc
25 miles from Lake Erie on May 12, 2004, similar to one
reported below.
Lake Erie - Mary reports, "I'm very interested to know if anyone
reported seeing a large disk last October in NE Ohio, about 8:45
PM." It was pretty dark by the time this sighting was
over. I saw white lights flying east to west towards Cuyahoga
County Airport at about the right height and speed for an airplane.
Instead of going down towards the airport, it suddenly veered up
and arced around to the north and sped up. I was on the freeway
(271N) and the lights passed out of my view behind trees. The
freeway arcs around, and I could then see the lights making a very
wide arc NW to N towards Lake Erie. I merged onto 90W and
lost sight of the lights again until I got past the Bishop Road exit.
Then I saw the lights swoop extremely fast from the north to a
complete stop over Euclid Avenue. a couple of blocks east of
the freeway. It beamed a very strong white beam of light down
on a house. The beam fanned out to light up most of the house.
The bottom of object was only slightly higher than my eye level
on the freeway overpass. The reflected light from the beam lit up
the front and the edges of the craft which was a very large silver
disk. Its width seemed to be the size of a city block. It's height
was about a fifth of its width. There was some sort of bumps or
protrusions on the bottom of it. It turned off its beam aimed at
the house and I couldn't see it any more. I pulled off at the
Euclid Avenue exit but couldn't see the thing any more when I
looked up. E-mail Report
Wisconsin – Bright Green Fireball
MILWAUKEE – Two witnesses heading east on I94, about 20 miles from Milwaukee, sighted a bright green fireball. It was probably a meteorite, but I've never heard of one like this. It descended moving from the south to north, leaving a green fireball trail behind descending to the north for about 15 seconds. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
Missouri – Swinging Star
ST. LOUIS – The witness was staying at the Radissson Hotel on 4th Street directly across
from the Arch and went out on the balcony to look and noticed a star-like light that appeared to be swinging like a lantern. The observer states, "I then focused on this light and to my surprise it moved closer and continued it's swinging motion in the sky. it then moved off to the west at a preposterous speed." It was nothing like an aircraft that I have ever seen. simply fantastic. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
Utah – Saucer UFO Filmed
PROVO CANYON -- ABC 4: NEWS reports, "To the naked eye, Tommy Woodard's digital photograph appears to be nothing more than a pretty picture of trees in Provo Canyon. But zoom in, he says, and the purple glow of a saucer hovering at an angle above the tree line starts to take shape. Woodard, 22, a photo librarian with the Utah Film Commission, took the photo that he believes represents an unidentified flying object. He was in the canyon Tuesday shooting still pictures for a possible film location, and began taking pictures for himself on his way out. He didn't see anything out of the ordinary in his photograph. But later, after noticing a black speck in the frame, he zoomed in and "the closer I got, the more impressed I got by it," he said Thursday.
"I was kind of skeptical but it's pretty obvious when you zoom in," said the self-described "sci-fi" fan, whose friends and colleagues are similarly impressed. Woodard said he's a "believer" because the recent photograph is not his first encounter with mysterious flying objects. Once, playing baseball at the age of 10, he saw three blurry gray spheres rotating in the sky. Within a moment, they were gone.
Thanks to ABC -4
Woodard contacted officials at Hill Air Force Base to ask if any planes were flying in the canyon area Tuesday but hasn't heard back yet. "They kind of laughed, you know," he said. Hill Air Force Base spokeswoman Lt. Caroline Wellman told The Associated Press on Thursday she is awaiting response from the 388th Fighter Wing whether any of their F-16 jets were above Provo Canyon Tuesday. Another skeptical reaction to the digital photograph came from a representative of the National UFO Reporting Center in Seattle -- he said thought the sphere looked like a bird. "A bird?" asked Woodard in disbelief. "Come on -- I don't know how he could think it's a bird!" Woodard discounted the theory that the image could be nothing more than a speck of dust on his film.
Arizona - Lights
ENTERTRPRISE -- A few months ago I reported seeing lights that I could not explain behind The White Tanks Mountains west of Phoenix. I never expected to see anything like that again, but last night on May 6, 2004, myself and three others were riding our quads behind the mountains in the of the dry Hysampia River bottom. We were riding and having a ball about 10:00 PM, we were headed west back toward the trucks and drove over a little hill and Dennis the lead guy stopped and was waving his arms for us to stop. We all stopped and saw two sets of lights just ahead of us over the wash above some corrals. I told them to turn off their lights and motors. The lights were several thousand feet up. They were here again and had the same color lights as the ones we saw before. We drove with our lights off real slow while the other guys waited not wanting to come. We had gone maybe a 1/4 mile when the flying lights switched off. I could see a faint outline of something that looked black in kind of a wedge shape perhaps two. All of a sudden the lights came back on and this time the ground was lit up under them. We watched this for several minutes then heard the guys quads start up behind us. Dennis said he didn't want to be another "Fire In The Sky" abduction guy. So we headed back to the trucks... we never saw the lights again. Thanks to Peter Davenport www.UFOCenter.com
California - Bright Sphere UFO's Filmed
CHASWORTH -- On Friday, May 14th 2004, at 4:20 PM ,a courier I've known for about a year was heading east on the 118 Freeway just before the 405 South observed a bright light that came out of the sky on the south side of the Freeway. He said, "It was as bright as the sun and the sphere like object came down and stopped just below the tree lines in the distance." He said, "It hovered and slowly descended. He looked left and right of the eastbound traffic and no one else seemed to notice it. It was strange. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
MODESTO – R. David Anderson writes, "This is a view of the UFO sighting I had during the May 5th weekend." The UFO was moving slowly from the east and changed directions twice, turning on a dime. The UFO looks a little like a dumbbell used by body builders. Thanks to R. David Anderson
Canada – Intense UFO Sightings
NORTH VANCOUVER – The observers report seeing mysterious lights every night that it's clear and so far have found about a dozen that I can see from my window. I get a lot a glare from the city lights and they are about the brightest lights in the sky. I've been seeing lights appear and disappear over Seymour Mountain nearly every night so May 16, 2004, I aimed my camera over there. I saw a large yellow streak of what looked like fire with drips coming off the bottom of the flames. It was sort of like throwing burning gasoline. It appeared just above the summit and disappeared above the bottom of the ski run. The time was 21:30 still quite a bit of light in the sky. 21:52 - the camera picked up a white light moving east just over Seymour, I assumed it was a small plane. Using binoculars and camera I was unable to see any fuselage behind the light even though it was still fairly light.
The camera picked up what appeared to be a similar light approaching Seymour Mountain and the light stopped just above the summit. I zoomed in with the camera and it looked like those other mysterious lights. The object began moving slowly eastward for an hour. At 02:00 – I came across what looked like three stars in a perfect triangle all equal in size and brightness that looked like luminous slowly pulsing pearls which looked very pretty.
TRAIL, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- It appears that I have another major case which is still coming together. On May 19th, 2004, a prominent member of the community was driving home alone on Highway 3B going south and noticed that a bright light was shining through the passenger window at 9:52 p.m.. He states, "I looked out the window to the sky and saw an amazing huge "craft" in the shape of a V hovering very low. There were no vehicles directly behind me so I drove very slowly. There were three lights on each "wing" of the V rotating rapidly in circles and creating bright white lights. There was also a very bright light on the "nose" of this huge craft. Trail had a very bad storm that evening and one half of the town was without power. Another witness saw a funnel cloud and when it disappeared she saw a strange craft. Things even got stranger, when the weather turned for the worse at the Golf Club the folks who were playing the rounds were whistled into the Club House and there they watched the clock moving backwards. Other flying objects were witnessed that evening also.
SCARBOROUGH, ONTARIO – Two witnesses on May 15, 2004, looking south over Lake Ontario, saw moving lights confined to a fairly small area at about cloud level. My guess is the lights were moving about perhaps a few miles off our shoreline, and would likely have been high enough and far enough over the lake to also have been visible from the US side of the lake. It had been an overcast day and the sky at this time was clearing. It wasn't the nearly dark enough yet to observe any stars. At first I saw one small pink-red light at cloud level traveling parallel to
the ground and in a straight line moving from east to west at about the same rate as I'd expect to see planes travel. This light flashed on and off with a
regular rhythm like an aircraft and was about the same size as an aircraft light seen at such a distance. It traveled west for five seconds and disappeared. Suddenly from the very same place in the sky another light appeared. moving and looking similar and then it disappeared. This behavior of a flashing light appearing, traveling for a few seconds across the sky and then disappearing repeated eight times. It glowed a reddish pink color and without blinking as it moved. The behavior of the light changed and was now east and towards the end of the sighting there was more than one light. Just as one vanished another appeared. The direction of flight changed to a sweeping arc. There seemed to be a distinct repetitive pattern to the flight of the light(s). As one light moved from east to west, arcing at the end of its flight, another light mirrored that pattern by flying west to east
and then arced upwards at the end. Our impression was that the lights were chasing each other, as in a dogfight. Planes are not capable of doing this.
ST-PHILIPPE, QUEBEC -- Two witnesses on May 3, 2004, noticed their cat was reacting to a slight vibration that made them notice a flying triangle near the observer's house. The triangle was very dark in color and silent. Then the garage door started to open and shut on its own. The wife reports, "I fell asleep in our bed but my husband found me later on the sofa in the living room half dressed, and I felt drained of my energy, really weak and disoriented, and the patio door was open." My husband had a really difficult time getting out of bed because he was also disoriented. He doesn't remember anything except that something prevented him from getting up.
"I have a vague recollection of getting up, being guided by something, then I felt like I was in some strange dream." Three hours passed by between getting out of bed and waking up on the sofa. The day after, still tired and taking a shower, I noticed something on my arm. When I was a child I had a triangular mark that had disappeared since then. Now it was back again and it looked like 3 dark stains and my arm was itching. My husband felt weak the following days. Like me, he felt like he was under observation, spied on. Then the sensation went away. I don't know what happened that night but nothing felt normal. I had the same experience when I was 5 and living in Texas. It happened a second time when I was 15. Now I am 29 and it happened again. I don't know what it is but it's not of this world. Translated from French into English.
WINNIPEG -- This is a description of seven events over a period of an hour and each event lasted approximately three seconds and they were 5 - 10 minutes apart on May 16, 2004. Two observers were on their deck with a clear sky and all formation sightings flew from the south to north horizons very, very fast in only three seconds. The second event was the most spectacular. There was no sound from any of the events:
1. There were 7 to 8 red lights flying very, very fast in a V-formation clouded in a mist.
2. Two groups of white lights traveling north. First group ~ 9 lights;
second group ~ 6 lights. Much lower than first sighting and much larger.
Lights went from formation to dancing around each other before dispersing in
different directions in the north.
3. A formation of 5 orange- white lights forming a "V."
4. Formation of 3 lights, red in color.
5. Formation of 4 lights, white in color.
6. Formation of 4 lights, white in color.
7. Formation of 5 lights, white in color.

Cuba - Flying Disc Lands
HAVANA -- In the surroundings of Expocuba, a fairground located in the capital city municipality of Boyeros, several persons witnessed the presence of a UFO on May 18, 2004, according to the Juventud Rebelde newspaper. Residents saw the descent of an UFO on Saturday, May 8, around 10 AM. A small oval-shaped vessel, silver-colored and with a metallic tail, landed in an open field encircled by trees on the El Pedregal farm, located near Expocuba southeast of Havana. Raul Beltran, 17 states, "I was tidying the shelves when a bright light came through the window that was like a glowing ball with a tail in its lower section." I showed it to my mother quickly and ran outside to see where it would fall and watched at the site until the UFO took off once more. "It lifted off rather perpendicularly and then left through the palm trees." It didn't make any noise nor issue any smoke. The only thing I'm sure of is its size: more or less the size of a pickup truck tire. "When my son showed it to me, I thought it was a kite or a parachutist, since skydivers drop over Expocuba every so often! After, as it came down, I realized that it could be nothing of the sort, since it was smaller and glowed a lot. It looked like a mirror," said Odalis, Raul Beltran's mother.
Remigio Sanchez, who works as a warehouseman claims having seen a light in the sky almost at the same time as the other spectators. "It was a powerful glow in the sky, but it was far away so I thought it was a flare. Raul's mom -- told me that a device had landed nearby." According to witnesses the grass and small plants at the site where the UFO landed are somewhat burned, although it is true that the current drought at the site is causing similar things to happen at other nearby locations. It has not been possible to scientifically confirm the presence of any UFO anywhere in the world. According to Oscar Alvarez Pomares, a specialist in the Science Office of the Ministry of Science, Technology and the Environment: "People want to believe that other beings exist in the universe, although I am not saying that what the protagonists of this episode saw was untrue."

Puerto Rico – UFO Comes Out of the Sea
CABO ROJO - - Late at night on May 5, 2004, Mr. Aguirre, a fisherman reported seeing "strange lights" entering and leaving the sea and the cliffs near the famous Cabo Rojo light house in the southwestern corner of Puerto Rico. It is well known that UFO skywatches have taken place in the area and some of them have yielded positive results. Our survey of the site disclosed that the waters near one of the cliffs showed evidence of what could be termed remains of spiritual or witchcraft "trabajos" (artifacts). The height of another cliff gave us pause, perhaps as well as its magnetism. What is worth pointing out here is that many people claim having had unusual experiences in the vicinity of the lighthouse, giving rise to the belief that this area has intense paranormal activity. It must be made clear that the light house's beam has been confused with other surrounding lights, which makes the study of something taking place in the region even more interesting. One of the strange lights reported in recent days over the lighthouse, was far above the range of the light issued from the lighthourse. The object presented signs of movement and deformation. http://www.reinaldorios.be.tf Photos credit Prof. Reinaldo Rios Translation (c) 2004. Scott Corrales, IHU.

UFO Crashes in Venzuela?
INEXPLICATA The Journal of Hispanic Ufology reports that an unidentified flying object crashed last Saturday, May 15, 2004 northwest of the Raul Leoni Hydroelectric Station, also known as the Guri Dam, located on the Caroni River some 100 kilometers from the mouth of the Orinoco River at Puerto Ordaz, Ciudad Bolivar. The accident was witnessed by workers from Guri Dam in the early hours Saturday. Stringent security measures were taken immediately by active members of the National Guard, who proceeded to cordon off the area. The presence of U.S. personnel was also observed, a common feature in all crashes involving UFOs. Thanks to Proyecto Orion
United Kingdom – Cylinder Filmed
BRIGHTON -- UFO buzzed my back garden by Brendan Montague. A UFO captured on film hovering above Brighton is the latest in a spate of mysterious sightings across the world. Theatre technician Ben Losh spotted the strange cylindrical object hanging in the air above his home and rushed to grab his video camera. He managed to snatch footage of the large grey object as it drifted towards the golf course near Hollingbury. It is the second UFO sighting in Brighton in two months - a glowing globe was spotted near Shoreham airport last month. Ben was alone in his back garden, having a break from decorating, when he saw the object. The 32-year-old lives in Woodbourne Avenue with his wife Vanessa and two-year-old son Lucas. He filmed the sighting as evidence to show his skeptical wife. Ben said: "There was a long cylindrical object just hanging in the sky.
"I was watching it for about ten to 15 minutes as it appeared to float away and come back. "It looked like a huge floating cigar and was a couple of hundred feet up. "It didn't do any quick turns or have flashing lights and there were no green men but it was certainly unidentified. "My wife came home and I was quite excited - this is the first time I have ever seen a UFO. "I'm a great fan of science fiction but I do have my feet firmly on the ground. "I have always wanted to see a UFO but never thought I would. "I am sure this is something we can explain but I hope not." Vanessa, 32, who works for American Express in Brighton, said: "Ben has never claimed to have seen a UFO before and he's not a crackpot. "I don't know if it was a UFO but I have seen the video and it does look a bit odd."
A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Defence said: "We do not investigate UFOs so I am not aware of what Mr Losh could have seen. "We used to investigate UFOs many years ago in the interests of national security and never found anything that could not be explained." The sighting comes weeks after alien enthusiast Brian Barnes spotted a UFO from his Bevendean home. The 62-year-old filmed the object as it hung in the sky above Shoreham airport and reported the incident to the police and coastguards. Ben's claims come as increasing numbers of UFO sightings are reported across the world. Video footage recorded by the Mexican air force showing 11 shining objects picked up by radar was released on Tuesday last week. A number of sightings were reported in the Iranian capital Tehran during the last few days of April. State television broadcast video images of a sparkling white disc and other UFOs have been reported in cities to the north. Ben, who has been joking with friends about his experience, said: "The fact there have been so many sightings around the world makes me look slightly less mad."

Moon – Bright Flash
CRATER POSIDONUS-- On May 1, 2004, the observer who lives in Bremerton Washington states, "We observed a bright white flash on the moon in the upper/mid Mare Serenitatis region, west of Crater Posidonus about 7:24 PM Pacific Standard time." The light was perceived as larger than Venus appears. It was a quick flash like white, intense lightning. I'm not sure how to report degrees of arc, but if the face we see is 90, and we start from the east then the flash occurred about 225 arc seconds to the west. This was observed by the naked eye, with clear skies between us and the moon. Thanks to Francis Ridge Coordinator, The Lunascan Project
Mexican Air Force Sees UFO on FLIR
Kim Shaffer writes, "In all the conjecture and debunking attempts concerning the Mexican foreward looking infra red "FLIR" that tracked UFO's on March 5 over Campachee. "FLIR" is a piece of equipment with a lens aperture which collects thermal images. The "FL" in FLIR. It simply means what it says," forward looking". Everything on this Earth, unless it is frozen at absolute zero degrees, has an "IR" or thermal signature. The higher the thermal signature( the hotter the object) the brighter the thermal image seen on the IR device or in this case, seen on film. Humans cannot see infrared , as it is beyond our range of vision.
The debunkers claim the objects as weather balloons. Helium is what makes weather balloons rise. Helium is not hot. The objects, IF they were weather balloons, would be invisible to the "FLIR" device, being the same temperature as the rest of the sky.
One scientist claimed the objects were gas pockets. Gaseous anomalies may well occur in space where there is nothing acting on the "gas".. Gas would simply dissipate and not form objects that appear as solid in our turbulent atmosphere. Again, gas clouds do not give off a thermal signature which these objects did. If these anomalies were "gas" and were obviously hot, why were they not rising as hot gas would do?? They never rose above 11,000 feet.
Another scientist claimed it was ball lightning.
I remember an incident which happened at Fort Stewart Georgia when I participated in "war games" and was using an infrared night vision device. I was looking thru the device at an approaching armored assault, when a lightning strike hit miles away. I was blinded in that eye for maybe an hour and thought I had ruined my eye. This is what lightning will do to a IR" or a FLIR device. This lighting heat or thermal energy would be tens of thousands of degrees would completely "wash out" the image on such a device. The sighting lasted for over fifteen minutes, ball lightning is usually measured in seconds.
Lastly, we are discussing a calibrated piece of optical equipment. The FLIR was designed to "see" aircraft engine thermal energy in the hundreds of degrees Fahrenheit. Why can we not see to it that the designers and manufacturers of this device are given the video which , when analyzed, will give them real "thermal values" from the image. Only they would have this information and no one is asking for it.
This is the best evidence to have been given to us in some time so why don't we take advantage of it and follow through, contact FLIR and ask for a thermal analysis of the clip. Kim A.Shaffer , State Director, MUFON TN (EAST)

Memorial Day - Support the Troops
Every war has hateful qualities. The US and much of the world is involved in a terrible war on terrorism. In every war the citizens must sacrifice in order to win. I fought in Vietnam where some of my friends and more than 58,000 US military were killed. We have already lost a couple thousand in the World Trade Center, and over 800 US military in Iraq. I feel the strategy to take the war to the terrorists is working reasonably well, most of the terrorists have gone to Iraq to kill Americans and our troops have the ability to defend themselves. We are even uncovering buried Iraqi aircraft and attempting to rebuild a nation. I have spent many months in the Middle East and the average person there has no understanding of life in the rest of the world. This is the main reason for the terrorist attacks, lack of understanding and tolerance of other ideas. I admit, we also have very little understanding of the terrorist world and even why they are out to destroy us.
Until we are educated about each others beliefs and needs and obtain tolerance for each other many more will die. So far the US has been spared more disasters here because our troops are in harms way and have a base of operation in the Middle East. War is a strange preoccupation of mankind, countries we fought against in World War II are now our allies. The thousands who died at D-Day and who are dying now in Iraq and Afghanistan deserve our support and prayers. Perhaps war brings respect and understanding between peoples and just maybe we will learn to live together in peace? Hopefully a new Iraqi government will help create a stable country. So I ask you as we celebrate Memorial Day to pray for and support our troops.
Venus Transit of the Sun
Michael Lawrence Morton Archaeocryptographer writes, "At the "Beginning-of-Ingress" of the VENUS-Transit on the 8th of June, 2004, there will be displayed a RATIO between the *exactly-encoded* sky-locations, of Planet VENUS and of The SUN .. which will reflect the relative_Lengths_of the EDGE and of the MARS FACE .. of a Regular TETRAHEDRON (a solid figure with four triangular surfaces) Thanks to Michael Lawrence Morton .
NASA - Discovers Likely Youngest Planet
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has discovered probably the youngest planet ever found - a celestial body that at a million years old or less is a cosmic toddler. The telescope also has shown that developing stars called protostars, are as common as insects and that the planetary construction zones around infant stars have considerable ice that could produce future oceans. Spitzer's infrared array camera was built by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. The infrared telescope has been orbiting near our sun found an object 420 light-years away in the constellation Taurus, that is on the edge of a Planet-forming dusty disk that encircles a million-year-old star. Scientists believe our Earth is 4.5-billion years old so this star is very young in comparison.
A sharply defined hole in the middle of the disk suggests that a forming planet created the opening. Spitzer has surveyed five very young stars in the constellation Taurus, and found organic materials in space, but this is the first time they were seen unmistakably in the dust making up planet-forming discs. NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has detected the raw ingredients for planets and ultimately life in these icy dust particles that contain organic materials. These planetary construction zones, or dusty planet-forming discs, which circle infant stars suggest these materials may contain life forming building blocks. Icy dust particles coated with water, methanol and carbon dioxide, may help explain the origin of icy planetoids like comets that travel throughout space. Scientists believe these comets may have endowed Earth with some of its water and many of its biogenic, life-enabling materials. These are building blocks of what might end up as a solar system like our own. As for the proliferation of developing stars. Spitzer revealed more than 300 star formations in one region in the constellation Centaurus, 13,700 light-years away. Thanks to NASA
Editor's Note: Large amounts of organic matter float through space potentially bringing life to all newly formed planets. There appears to be a natural Johnny Appleseed spreading life throughout the universe. This program could include DNA or various plants, animals and even intelligent life. The DNA of all life forms are very similar and could be spread by a creator or ancient intelligent life form know as God. When advanced civilizations travel to near by planets they also carry micro-organisms and could deliberately carry Noah like animals. Our Mars Rovers could easily have carried life to Mars from Earth. Conversely, Martian life appears to have developed millions of years ago and as the planet deteriorated, life may have been brought here.
The sudden appearance of homo sapiens (humans) in South Africa, Asia, and Australia infers the aerial transportation of our species in earliest times. The ancient pyramids, sphinx, humanoid faces, headdress, and similar architectural designs on both Mars and Earth indicate similar origins.
JPL image shows hand like object below + with three fingers one inch below center.
Image near Bonneville Crater shot by Mars Rover Spirit.
In a billion years of so our own sun will start to fail, and eventually destroy Earth so our civilization may decide to move to Mars that will be relatively safe for a while. It would make sense for our civilization to move to another safer planet or solar system when the sun becomes unstable. The recent heavy tornado activity in the Midwest seems tied to storms on the sun. Watch for continued ‘extreme weather’ over the next few days as sunspot region 621 is just rotating into position from the eastern limb. It may host possible M-Class activity. It will be in position for Earth directed activity within the next 24 hours. Space ship Earth is not as safe as we might hope.
Mars – More Evidence of Life
There are some various mysterious anomalies on Mars. Some Mars craters show frost streaks running across the top of a crater indicating that frost or ice crystals are outgassing from inside the craters. Many craters show water streaks coming from a few feet below the crater rim. Satellite images have frequently detected fog or moving frost patterns. This fog which probably includes ice or water vapor is spread out inside the crater and often is seen depositing water into the surrounding area. Frequently, patches of green indicating some type of plant life occur in the area matching the frost outgassing . As the frost melts in 65 degree temperatures it is quite likely lichen or plant growth occurs. Water coming from within the crater is being instantly frozen as it hits Martian ambient air temperatures. However, the ice may include salt or anti-freeze like solutions to allow it to quickly melt.
The Rovers on Mars have encountered soil that appears to be wet when disturbed that indicates large amounts of water lie just beneath the surface. Dr. Gilbert V. Levin is convinced his experiments aboard the 1976, Viking mission to Mars found life. The labeled released experiments found living micro-organisms in the soil.
Interdimensional Crafts Exposed
Alexander Zikas Director of Investigations, MUFON Virginia has published and article in the May 2004 of "Alternative Perceptions Magazine" issue #79, entitled: "Interdimensional Crafts Exposed?" Attached are the two most important photographs that are not lowered in pixel density. You may want to use these in the Filer Files as they give better resolution than the Alternative Perceptions posting. Use as my name and post as the site to me (I have an email tab there).
One of the most interesting observations of Alexander Zikas' research has been the photographic evidence of interdimensional crafts. These objects are invisible to the naked eye, but seem to share the same 3- dimensional space in our reality, when they are captured on photographs. He speculates on the anatomy of these objects, where they originate, their properties, their occupants, their effects on the human mind, and skeptical observations on the evidence. He has named these UGOs (U-shaped Grated-body Objects) due to the U-shaped rim on one side and the grate pattern of lines that extend from it.
Unaware of the significance, Zikas' colleagues provided him copies of
their photographs that he was able to recognize as exhibiting similar
characteristics. The close-up photograph is courtesy of Bill Bean.
The other photograph is provided by Beverly Blake. Blake's photograph was taken along a highway in Laughlin, Nevada. Notice that in both photographs, an occupant can be faintly seen at www.mysterious-america.net contact www.GreekFuture.com
South Carolina – Blue light
PICKENS -- This is the description my 9 year old son gave me of the object he saw on May 30, 2004, at about 8:00 PM. He was looking out the window and noticed a bright neon blue light about two to three times the size of the largest and brightness star in the sky. From about the top of the horizon the object streaked down. It appeared to be some distance away. He said that the object was moving faster than any planes he had ever seen in the sky, but didn't move so fast to leave a tail or tracer. He is unsure if the object blinked on and off or if it appeared that way because he was seeing it from behind some tree limbs. After a few seconds the object disappeared behind a mountain across from us. I would have been skeptical to file a report for him except I feel he is familiar with the night sky, stars and the appearance of aircraft in the area. We enjoy the sky and stars and watch
them on a regular basis. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director
Florida - Strange Object Caught On Film
KEY WEST -- The witness accidentally captured in a photo with family members a strange object that appears to be a UFO. The witness states, "My husband, my sister-in-law, and myself were on a four day cruise in the Caribbean. On the evening of December. 19, 2002, we were getting ready to depart Key West, and were on the uppermost deck of the ship watching the sunset to our west. The time was between 5:30 and 5:45 p.m. The sun sets very quickly, so I was intently watching the sun go down thru the view finder of a simple Kodak 35 mm disposable camera. Music was playing but not loudly. There was no noise coming from overhead and no motion to take our attention away from getting the sunset on film. I took only two shots, just a few seconds apart.
I had the film developed at a local Wolfe Camera Shop. I looked at the photos before I left and when I saw the object in the sunset photo, I asked their representative if there was a scratch on the negative or any trash on it. He looked at the negative closely with a magnifying eye piece and said no there wasn't. He thought, like I did, it was a very curious photo and even jokingly said that "you may have captured a UFO without even knowing it." The object is gone in the photo taken almost immediately after the first one.
I mailed the negative to the Kodak Picture Center @ 901 Ctr Pk Dr, Charlotte, NC it enlarged to an 8" X 10". The enlargement definitely showed it to be a solid object.
We put a magnifying device right over the two ends of the object and when you shine a pin light flashlight into the part provided for that, the end toward the sun is a reddish yellow, reflecting the sun I believe. The end away from the sun is definitely green. Also, there are distant ridges to the parts that slant downward to the Gulf of Mexico. Thanks to Brian Vike, Director HBCC UFO Research
Illinois - White Circular Object
CHICAGO -- I was sitting on my back porch around 1:30 p.m., on June 1, 2004, and I noticed an object floating by in the sky, it moved slowly and then it hovered for about 2 minutes. It was round and white, and it was small in size. It stood still and then started moving upwards and disappeared. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
OTTAWA -- Over the past couple of months, I have noticed an object in the sky. It doesn't appear every night but every couple of days around 10-11 PM, and will hover moving away and coming closer for a couple of hours. It's location varies, sometimes it is to the west and other times it is to the north. It appears to be a saucer shape about a mile or so above the ground. It has flashing bright white lights. Each time it appears a helicopter flies nearby it in the sky flashing blue and red lights. It seems to be intentionally mimicking the red and blue lights of the helicopter. It has never gotten close enough for me to take pictures. E-mail report.
Michigan - Rectangular Object
BRIGHTON – Doug Parrish saw a slightly curved surface of a huge brushed aluminum rectangular object on Thursday evening, May 26, 2004, at 6:50 p.m. He states, "I had just left the Best Buy and was heading west towards Howell, on I-96, when I looked up and it looked like it was floating gently in the sky several miles away from me, but it was the width of my thumbnail at arm's length – making it 1000 to 1500 feet long ." It was on a slight decline with its forward leading edge pointing slightly downward. It was not a plane because there were no wings nor was there a tail, just a very large slightly convex curved rectangular surface. It was like a paper towel tube made out of aluminum, cut it end to end down one side, then opened it up and tried to make it lie flat. It was glittering in the sun's light but I could make out its strange, non-aeronautical shape. It very closely resembled another craft of similar dimensions that I saw a few years ago in England.
It remained in sight for a couple of seconds. Then trees alongside the highway were in the way for 20 or 30 seconds. When I once again cleared the trees, the object had disappeared, probably into a cloud. The object was headed towards one of the clouds ahead of it. Thanks to Doug Parrish, Howell, dkparrish@comcast.net
Colorado – Flying Triangle
DENVER – On May 10, 2004, at about 3:35 AM, the witness had a pretty amazing sighting. He had gone out in the back yard for a smoke and scanned the sky and noticed three stars moving in a triangular formation, two lights leading with the third trailing them. The formation came in from the south-east. As if that wasn't enough, as the trio passed directly overhead, a fourth "appeared", joined the trio, and seemed to drop in altitude (perhaps because it definitely grew much larger and brighter than the other three). The fourth came in from the east, then changed course and speed to match the trio; the fourth partner sped off ahead of the trio to the northeast. The trio followed slowly, taking about 3 minutes to cross the sky and disappear. I say "trio" rather than "HUGE black triangle" because the stars only seemed to dim and blur as the triangular formation crossed them, rather than completely blocking stars as I expect an intervening triangular vehicle would. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
California – UFO's Video Taped
Sonora -- Brian Vike, Director HBCC UFO Research obtained some video tape footage from a witness who shot a jet airliner and "something" else which moved around the sky rather quickly. When I ran the tape back and slowed the footage down, one can see "clearly" the jet airliner and an "object". The object appears from behind the jet airliner at a short distance away and travels up and down in the sky passing on the opposite side of the jet's contrail. This object covers a large area in the sky in such a short period of time. Matter of fact the object then appears to sit stationary.. I am not exactly sure how long the object stays in sight as I have to watch this again but the witness catches the object for a good length of time.www.hbccufo.com
NORTH HIGHLANDS – Jeff Challender reports, "On the 12th of May 2004, my wife and her friend were out on the front lawn as my 17 year old son got off the school bus. A helicopter flew overhead and when they looked up an unusual object was also seen that was much higher and further away. My wife called me out and it looked like silvery mylar helium balloons. I asked my wife to bring me our camcorder so that I might capture the event on tape. I turned on the camcorder, and aimed in the direction of the object. When I found it in the viewfinder, I zoomed in to 500x, the maximum this camcorder is capable of and the object was bright, and flashing on and off. It was moving east, while the wind was SSW, 10 - 15 mph. As the object proceeded east, it became obvious that it would soon pass behind a tree in a neighbor's yard. The tree limbs offered a point of reference to gauge speed and direction with greater accuracy.
The stationary tree showed that the object was not only tacking across the
wind, but "skipping" side to side, and apparently, up and down as well.
I am reminded of Kenneth Arnold's 1947 description of his UFO sighting.
He stated that the objects he saw behaved like a "saucer skipping on water".
This object behaved in much the same manner, although it never presented
any appearance of a saucer shape. Throughout the event, it was a flashing
light of varying brightness. In addition, the flashing was uneven. After two
minutes of recording, the object disappeared behind a tree, and did not return.
We cannot identify it. The witnesses were myself age 51, my wife Janet
age 47, her friend Sharon Springs age 45, and my son Max age 17. We
are all willing to swear before almighty God that this statement is a true
and accurate account of what we observed with our own eyes. Thanks to

Oregon - Sphere Cluster Release's Object's.
Sherwood – The witness, a pilot, spotted an object overhead at 1:45 PM, that looked like a balloon flying at 5-10,000 feet on May 8, 2004. He states, "I brought out my 8x42 binoculars and saw a sphere cluster or about 5 sphere's with a cord hanging down and a small object at the bottom in a clear sky. I then used my 18x50 Image stabilized binoculars and noticed the cord and attached object had separated and was falling away. The sphere's were about 5-10' diameter. Moving with upper level wind -west to east at about 10 knots? The spheres were not rotating or tumbling like balloon's would. They were an off-white color and the sighting lasted about ten minutes duration. I noticed three smaller spheres near but moving away from the cluster. No planes or confirmed balloons were in the area. Two minutes later I noticed three more small object's closer to the cluster and moving away at a slightly faster speed. After moving some distance away from the cluster, the smaller objects disappeared. The larger objects were the size of a golf ball compared to a pea. Then, focusing on the cluster, I saw three more small objects being released by the cluster and this was repeated two more times. I had similar sightings in Lake Oswego, Oregon that were much closer. NUFORC Note: We spoke with this witness via telephone, and he sounded to us to be quite credible. PD

Canada – Green Lights
Trail, BC -- On an overcast evening the witness poured himself a cup of coffee and went outside on May 20, 2004, at 10:15 p.m. and saw a dimly lit green light just below the cloud cover. He rubbed his eyes and ran into the house to get his glasses and saw the same green light in the northeast and another one slowly following two to three kilometers behind the first. The two green lights were moving very slow and even though the lights were not extremely bright the witness said he was still able to see the texture of the clouds as the green objects lit up the clouds as they flew along. He noticed that when the objects passed over his head, he could hear his short wave radio acting up. Once the lights moved from his general area the radio seemed to be fine.
The witness said he was able to view the lights for a couple of minutes and the lights traveled on a straight line not making any unusual maneuvers. There was no sound heard. Others saw the sighting and contacted the Trail RCMP over the sightings that had taken place on May 19, 2004. Thanks to Brian Vike, Director HBCC UFO Research www.hbccufo.com
NIAGARA FALLS - A photographer took a series of digital images of the falls and in one is a saucer shaped UFO. The subsequent shots are taken just a few seconds apart and rule out balloons, aircraft or blimps. Thanks to Ufocasebook See: http://www.ufocasebook.com/niagarafallsphoto.html
Brazilian UFO Magazine Reaches Edition # 100

Argentina - Cattle Mutilations
SUCO – On Sunday, May, 30, 2004, the Circulo Ovnilógico Riocuartense received a phone call from a rural establishment 55 km distant from the town in southern Rio Cuarto, in which Mr. Senen Gregorat explained that in late March of this year a cattle mutilation case had taken place on his property. From Gregorat's own investigations, it turns out that the alleged mutilation was the work of "pranksters" who killed the animal by introducing a wet bag into its mouth to suffocate it.
Later that day, Mr. Gregorat reported that he had just found a two year old "Pampa" breed cow, weighing some 280 kilograms, dead and mutilated. From Gregorat's own observations, relayed via cell phone, he said that the right eye and ear wre missing along with part of the udder and anus, and that it's "leg hair" appeared to have been singed by a considerable source of heat. The animal did not shown any signs of having died violently. When asked if its hooves were dirty, he replied that they were not and that he could not tell if it kicked while dying, since any marks on the ground would have been erased by the trampling of other cattle in the lot.
In his phone call, the cattleman noted that to judge from what he could see and understand, the animal would have been "hoisted and subsequently deposited on the lot's floor without any violence," since there were no signs of fractures or bruises on the animal's body, nor traces of soil on its hide."
Gregorat added that a few nights ago (Thursday) while he and other people were at a highway toll gate in Suco, they witnessed the presence of an object in the sky that looked like a very bright star, but moments later they confirmed the "the supposed star was moving from east until it passed right over us."

Spain - UFOs Photographed
MALAGA -- Thousands of citizens were attending a procession of the passion of Christ on April 7, 2004 at 1630 hours for an Easter celebration. The procession issues from the parish of DIvina Pastora in the Capuchinos neighborhood where a photographer took a series of photos. Rainor claims that after transferring the images to a computer and having inspected them one by one, he realized that the camera had picked up a photo of a UFO that was taken over the river and the Trinidad district. The evidence was recorded on photo No. 212 out of total of 260 taken that afternoon. A SONY Cybershot Model P-31 (2 megapixels) was employed. There was a clear sky in good weather.
BARCELONA --On Sunday, May 9, 2004, Ms. N.M. saw an unidentified flying object in the skies over Barcelona while in the company of two of her children. N.M., a criminologist and businesswoman, was driving along the Casteldefels to Barcelona highway at around midnight when both she and her children witnessed (to the left of the road, that is, toward the interior, since the beach is on the left) an unidentified flying object of considerable size, described as a rhomboid with one of its vertexes broken off or truncated, or rather folded in, having a shiny orange color. The sighting occurred on the stretch of road between Gava and Viladecans and the witness contacted Mundo Misterioso www.mundomisterioso.com. Translation (c) 2004. Scott Corrales, IHU.
UK - Cylinder-Shaped UFO seen
NELSON, LANCASHIRE -- On Saturday, May 22, 2004, at 3 p.m., Bill and Margo Wells and their two grandchildren were having a picnic on the shore of the Walverden Reservoir, when they spotted something unusual in the sky approaching from the west. "There were four people seeing this," Bill reported, "Two adults and two children. We were having a picnic when our eldest grandchild said, 'Look at that stick in the sky!'" "And this is just what it looked like--a black line in the sky, like a stick. It was stationary, not moving except to turn slightly or go slower. The 'stick' was a diagonal line going from left to right that was about one inch (2.5 centimeters) long in the sky.
We continued to watch it for about 20 to 30 minutes, and then it turned to the east, or went shorter and vanished." The object's "height was deceptive because it was a lot bigger than a plane would be at the same distance." Thanks to UFO Roundup Vol. 9, #22 6/2/04 Editor: Joseph Trainor, Masinaigan@aol.com

Australia – More UFO Photos
ADELAIDE --Kathy writes she saw and photographed a UFO that was flying by her home less than a mile away. She states, "The only thing that I could see was that the underside seemed curved and very smooth; the other part of the craft seemed bathed in bright yellow/orange glow with a brilliant white light that seemed to move from the top of the craft to the center." I have had the shots enlarged, they look stunning. All that day I felt odd as if I had much anticipation. My son kept asking me what was wrong, I said 'nothing ' It was as if I was waiting for someone. Never felt like that previously with other sightings.
By the way, en route from LA to Sydney , returning from one of the
Laughlin seminars, I managed to see a craft paint on the radar scope
when I was in the Qantas flight deck with the pilots [prior 911]. They
saw the craft also. They told me they see them often. Cheers from
Kathy in Australia.

UFO Witness President Ronald Reagan dies at 93.
The history of the world was changed by Ronald Reagans interest in UFOs. He liked to say, "God has a plan for everything." He and Nancy were expected at a casual dinner party with friends in Hollywood when they were first married and showed up a half hour later quite upset. They stated that they had seen a UFO coming down the coast.
In 1974, California Governor Ronald Reagan stated, "I was in a plane last week when I looked out the window and saw this white light. It was zigzagging around." "I went up to the pilot and said, "Have you ever seen anything like that?" He was shocked and he said, "Nope." And I said to him: "Let's follow it!" "We followed it for several minutes. It was a bright white light." "We followed it to Bakersfield, and all of a sudden to our utter amazement it went straight up into the heavens."
Reagan, told reporter Norman C. Millar about the UFO he had seen, and that his wife and him had done personal research on UFOs and had uncovered references to UFOs in Egyptian hieroglyphics. When he became President he frequently discussed UFOs with his staff, recieved numerous reports on sightings, and made frequent references to UFOs in his speaches. On September 28, 1981, President Reagan received a letter from Major Ret. Colman VonKeviczky, Director of the International UFO Galactic Spacecraft Research and Analytic Network (ICUFON) that claimed UFOs were an intergalactic task force that will destroy earth unless world leaders band together to end their hostile actions against UFOs." Chief Military Advisor of the White House, Major General Robert Schweitzer replied "The President is well aware of the threat you document so clearly and is doing all in his power to restore the national defense margin of safety as quickly and prudently as possible." November 21, 1981. General Douglas MacArthur also spoke of "an ultimate conflict between a united human race and the sinister forces of some other planetary galaxy.
On December 4, 1985, Reagan made a speech at Fallston High School in Maryland telling about his meeting in Geneva where in five hours of private conversations with Soviet Premier Gorbachev he had brought up the alien scenario:
"I couldn’t help but - when you stop to think that we’re all God’s children, wherever we live in the world, I couldn’t help but say to him (Gorbachev) just how easy his task and mine might be if suddenly there was a threat to this world from some other species from another planet outside in the universe. We’d forget all the little local differences that we have between our countries and we would find out once and for all that we really are all human beings here on this Earth together. Well I guess we can wait for some alien race to come down and threaten us, but I think that between us we can bring about that realization."
Reagan showed his perception of UFOs at the United Nations General Assembly September 21st, 1987, when he stated, "In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask you," he went on, "is not an alien threat already among us? What could be more alien to universal aspirations of our peoples than war and the threat of war?"
President Reagan apparently developed a plan to defeat the USSR, and Communism that he called the Evil Empire. A key part of the plan was the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) announced in 1983, and called the "Star Wars" defense system that could destroy Soviet missiles and perhaps UFOs. Reagan proposed a complex set of defensive lasers and missiles intended to shoot down Soviet IBCMs. He even offered the system to the Soviets. Whether inspired through his conversations with President Reagan, or through information provided by his own intelligence, Gorbachev had his own interest in UFOs. On February 16, 1987, in an important speech, at a conference at Grand Kremlin Palace in Moscow on the "Survival of Humanity," Gorbachev stated,
"At our meeting in Geneva, the U.S. President said that if the earth faced an invasion by extraterrestrials, the United states and the Soviet Union would join forces to repel such an invasion. I shall not dispute the hypothesis, although I think it’s early yet to worry about such an intrusion. It is much more important to think about the problems that have entered in our common home."
In May 1990, shortly before the fall of the Soviet Union Gorbachev made a second more direct statement about UFOs."The phenomenon of UFOs does exist," he stated, "and it must be treated seriously."
Reports of UFOs destroying key installations were picked up on intercepts and the Soviets were very concerned about the attacks and the new thtreats. President Reagan's interest in UFO's may have changed the course of history and potentially saved millions of lives. President Reagan, as Margaret Thatcher reminded us, "He won the Cold War without firing a shot." In his last public announcement he revealed, "When the Lord calls me home, whenever that may be, I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours, and eternal optimism for its future"
Mars Rovers Spot Evidence of Life
Harold Carver writes, "Here are some more discoveries gleaned from the Mars Rovers images. There is what I believe to be a UFO in the air, Head figures, skulls and bones, and some type of landing craft. Also, I think I have caught what may be 'air vents' to a subterranean structure. Mars may not only be inhabited by local creatures but may also be visited by the same type of UFO's that plague our Earth. And then there is the possibility that the UFO's come from there originally. I have also noticed "white" dots that seem to hover and move in the images. Imagine if the inhabitants of a dying Mars had somehow made their way to Earth to inhabit it. Imagine that they traveled and still travel between the two worlds so that the Earth was being used to support the life of the inhabitants of Mars. This is a radical theory I know, but it would explain most of the UFO sightings we see. What if these intelligent creatures depended upon the Earth for their survival?
That the increase in UFO activity at the advent of nuclear weaponry was not a coincidence but that their need for the Earth to continue to produce outweighs their need to stay secret. Would they intervene to stop a nuclear war that would destroy and poison the Earth dooming them as well as us? It is known that UFO's have tested our nuclear technology and institutions. Could it be that they destroyed their own world? There seems to be a lot of debris lying around. What if some of those craters are ground zero points of population centers? Before the Rovers are done, NASA will make a mistake and the truth of it all will get out. There is too much to search though and everyone needs to be looking hard at the Mars Rover Images." Thanks to Harold Carver

evidence of former intelligent life on Mars. Thanks to JPL.
Massachusetts -White Flying Disk
CHICOPEE -- My boyfriend and I were in the park, lying down on the bleachers on May 30, 2004, at 4 PM, just watching the clouds. I saw a round white object flying over me, at a higher altitude than the planes. It was flying from north to south, and when it got near the sun, it tilted and we could see that it was a disk, and there was a bright metallic shine off the rim. After it tilted, it disappeared. There was no air traffic for the next half hour. Thanks to Peter Davenport www.UFOCenter.com
DENNISPORT – On June 4, 2004, just after midnight, three brightly lit objects with red, yellow and white lights flew in perfect line formation over the witness's home. He was standing on his front porch talking to a friend on the phone when he noticed three light formations, each about 1/4" in diameter (at arm's length) traveling faster than an airplane in a formation-one right after the other. The space between each object at arm's length was one and one/half inches and they were traveling from SW to NE, one right behind the other. They appeared to be too close together to be a commercial aircraft. Each of the objects was strobing lights of yellow, white and red, which were very vivid. The objects stayed one right behind the other with perfect formation and exact distance between the three. Eventually, they all banked due north towards Provincetown. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
New York - White Circular Saucer
MOHAWK -- At about 7:30 PM, I was observing a hawk flying when I inadvertently caught glimpse of a UFO, steadily flying in a straight line on May 23, 2004, at 8 PM. It had no vapor trail or blinking lights like a normal plane. I watched it travel in a straight line for about a minute, then it flashed an extremely bright white light all around it and it was gone. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
New Jersey – Oval Shaped Objects
GARFIELD -- Looking up at the moon the sky was clear on May 29, 2004, at 9 PM, and from the northwest moving southeast was a single bright dime size pure white light. It was moving very fast, with no sound and without flashing I.D. lights. I have never witnessed any type of light like this in the sky even after many years of sky watching. Thanks to Peter Davenport www.UFOCenter.com
OCEAN CITY -- Ken Pfeifer writes, "I have e-mailed a photo copy of a UFO original photo and if you feel this photo could be the real thing, I can send you the original. My family used to visit Ocean City in the summer and I found this picture in one of our family photo shoe boxes. The picture was taken by an old Brownie Camera and the original is very clear. My aunt and uncle are in the picture and the big guy behind them is my father Earl Pfeifer, they are all deceased now. I was about six years old then."
Thanks to Ken Pfeifer
Ocean City, NJ the summer of 1956.
Florida - Three UFOs
DUNEDIN – The witness noticed a contrail racing almost straight up at 8:20 PM that looked like a shuttle launch climbing fast around sunset on May 22, 2004. It appeared in the middle of the sky and became visible very high, and kept climbing from there. As we marveled, a second object appeared only as a light, and climbed side by side the first. The second one had no trail and was faster over taking the first one. Then, the first veered off heading southeast while the second one with no trail overtook and passed the first one, then they disappeared. The other witness said she thought the second one was sort of a triangle with slight wings. All I saw was a ball of light. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
FLAGLER COUNTY -- On May 21, 2004, and 22nd at 9 PM, pencil shaped objects were seen hovering north of Palm Coast. There was a white light in the middle, and two smaller bright white lights on either side. The lights fluctuated between red and blue, and then just red, and then blue. The object disappeared after about one hour towards St. Augustine. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
Ohio - Sphere Flyby and Boomerang
On May 23, 2004, about 500 miles after takeoff and flying west from JFK to San Francisco at 8 PM, a white sphere passed beneath the starboard wing flying east. I have seen white spheres in the sky for years and most recently in Spain south of Barcelona. I have always wondered what they were? Thanks to www.UFOCenter.com
HARRISON – The witness was driving home just outside of the city on Lawrenceburg Road on May 21, 2004, at 1:15 AM, when he spotted a very big bright white light above the trees on top of the hill. It was sitting still and as I went around a curve the object started to move slowly, then as it was going over my car it picked up speed and disappeared in a matter of seconds. I then turned onto Brooks Road and as I came around the curve at the top of the hill a boomerang shaped object was sitting in the sky directly over my car shining two white lights down on me. It had red, blue and white lights all along the boomerang shape, some of them blinking and some not. It was big and low enough for me to see that it was huge. I was very scared but it just sat there and shined its lights on me until I went under it and then I couldn't see it anymore. I lost sight of it behind my car. When I turned right on Barth Road, I saw two of the bright white objects, one on my left and the other coming around behind it. I stopped my car, got out and called my brother on my cell phone. The objects started coming in closer and started flying in a big circle that came over my house continuing on in the same pattern for an about an hour. Occasionally I could hear sound from one but it was a muted hum. It is now 3:58 and has not seen one since 3:06 AM. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
Michigan - Cylinder
PORTLAND – The observer was driving west on I-96 and noticed a bright light in the sky on May 17, 2004, at 9:30 PM. Suspecting something strange I pulled over and got out my video camera and it was a ball of light that was constantly moving and shaking in and out of the camera view. After about ten minutes it began to play with me....coming up close to my camera then dancing around and then going back high up into the sky. Also, when traffic would come down the road it would stop playing with me and sit high up in the sky. Every once in a while there were spurts of static on my camera. I spent about 20 minutes filming until my battery died. When I began filming I had 43 minutes of battery life left. The last thing it did was come extremely close to the camera so I could see it large and in person and then the camera died and it flew back into the sky. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
Illinois - Black Triangle
PEORIA – The witness was photographing thunderheads around sunset on May 23, 2004, at 7:14 PM, with a Sony F 717. He took four images in less than a minute and only the second image captured the fast moving black triangle. This is a 5 mega pixel camera so it can stand decent enlargement. It shows disturbed air around it. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
Tennessee – Red UFO
KNOXVILLE – At 11 PM on May 31, 2004, the couple was getting some luggage from their car and noticed a very bright object flying 40 degrees above the southern horizon. The witness states, "We watched for several minutes and I pointed out that there were no other lights (red or green) as normally seen with aircraft." His wife said, "It looks like a sphere with a halo around it and went into the house to get the binoculars. It flew west at a slow rate of speed. The moon was very bright and suddenly a bright object emanated from the sphere and traveled at a very rapid rate to the east. The smaller sphere had a faint red glow to it and flew at high rate of speed until it was no longer visible. The original object flew away slowly gaining altitude. I watched for another ten minutes until 11:20 PM, as it got much smaller. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
Missouri – Flying Triangle
KANSAS CITY – The observer saw a flying triangle with bright white lights on the vertices of the triangle with a red glowing light in the center while driving down Highway 152 towards Liberty on May 31, 2004. He states, "At 10:30 PM, I saw a group of lights in the sky only 300 to 400 feet high and they were not moving or it was moving towards me. When I got near I could see it was triangular in shape, black, with bright white lights with a glowing red light at the center. It hovered over the highway away from a group of houses. I kept driving, though I really should have stopped. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director
CLINTON – The witness went to bed around 10 PM, but woke up at 11:34 PM, when he saw a blinking light outside his window about four miles away. It was blinking pretty fast so he grabbed his binoculars, and it turned out to be a diamond shaped craft. I can't be too sure of this, but it had turned around in circles and its lights where in the middle of this blinking light and they were getting bigger and bigger, as the craft kept turning around. Realizing that I was seeing an actual "UFO," I took images with my digital camera but only one picture showed an orange craft with what seemed to be another blue craft behind it! Thanks To Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com and UFOMIG.com
Oklahoma – UFO Photographed
HUGO -- Larry W. Taylor writes, "This is a further enlargement of the larger object I took photos of on June 3, 2004, about 6 PM, which looked somewhat like a cylinder.
The center seems to reveal a round or ball like structure upon or within the cylinder shape. This craft reflected the evening sun and appeared to be luminous. This craft and the smaller one were in the midst of the Chemtrail activity." Thanks to Larry W. Taylor From_The_Edge@webtv.net
Texas – UFO and Plane
DALLAS -- Jim Hickman writes, "Here's an interesting photo I took May 16, 2004. I was just setting up my 35 mm camera for some shots of aircraft flying over at DFW, (that's why the photo is slightly out of focus). The right of the wing of this aircraft there appears to be a small object flying in formation with the airplane, and it's in front of the cloud. I did not see this object, and I'm wondering if it's a lens issue? I had just cleaned the lens, and it does show up on the negative and not on any other shots taken that day. Thanks Jim Hickman Director Skywatch International
New Mexico - Six White Lights
ALBUQUERQUE -- On May 27, 2004, at about 11:15 PM, a traveling couple was approaching Albuquerque and noticed a string of about six large white lights at the edge of the city. The observers thought it might be a skyscraper and kept looking for the body of the building, but this city had no structures this tall. We went under a few underpasses and the road turned a bit and when I got my bearings again it looked like only one light, then no light. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
Arizona - Humming and Yellow Lights
GOLD CANYON -- I was awakened approximately at midnight to a loud "humming" noise on May 31, 2004, at 12 AM, which I knew was not a helicopter, vehicle or airplane; I looked at my bedroom wall and saw distinctive, bright, yellow lights - illuminating my room. I felt I was coming out of a dream, but realized it was REAL. By the time I got out of bed to look out of my window, the lights and humming were gone. Have never experienced anything like this in my life, and have faith in God so am not afraid. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
California - Five Objects Converge
BENICIA –Three objects and another two seemed to meet in the sky - then two left in formation towards the east, and three made new formation and left towards the west on June 1, 2004. The observer, flagged down the postman and pointed them out at 2:50 PM; and he also saw the three objects plainly as we watched them together. We saw two Mormon missionaries and I pointed the objects out to them. One saw the three objects, the other one did not. The white objects appeared to be round and reflected the sunlight. www.UFOCenter.com
THOUSAND OAKS – The witness saw a very bright flashing light high in the air on May 26, 2004, at 1:27 PM, in the afternoon. At first he thought it was the glint off a commercial airliner landing at LAX, but this was higher and much brighter. The object seemed to have a dark bottom and flashed very brightly off the top. It hovered there flashing for a while and then, would move very fast then stop. Then, it moved slowly south without sound. This was not an airplane of any sort as I am an expert in aircraft recognition. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
Washington - Five Chasing Objects
LANGLEY -- The witness reports, "I was outside looking at the moon on May 24, 2004, at 10:25 PM, and noticed spherical lights chasing each other around the sky, when suddenly four of the spheres went straight up to be unseen, and one flew over head at high speed then it shot up and disappeared. www.UFOCenter.com
SPOKANE – The witness at 2:42 am, had just pulled up in front of his house on June 3, 2004, and had just turned off his headlights, when a quick flash lit up the WHOLE night sky, like a nuclear explosion. He states, "I expected to hear a boom because it seemed so close, maybe 15 miles away, but I never heard anything. The flash is thought to have been a meteor seen by many. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
Canada - Rash of Sightings
SUDBURY - HBCC reports there has been a rash of sightings seen in in Canada. On May 8, 2004, witnesses watched some unusual objects that were captured on video tape. Again tonight a witness from Sudbury sent me an email report and I picked up the phone right away and gave him a call to get the details on what he and his wife witnessed. Another amazing sighting due to what the object eventually did. At first I thought it may have been a planet or bright star due to the description of what it did, but nope, planets and star don't shoot off and out of sight within two seconds. Thanks to Brian Vike, Director HBCC UFO Research
Mexico – Line of Lights
PUNTA BRAVA – The witness was standing outside his room at 9 PM, on May 19, 2004, and over the Caribbean Sea was a completely silent slow flying object with white lights that went from front to back in straight line. The lights were moving in a circular motion in a line that looked like it went from back to front, moving the whole time. Once in a while a red light would mix in. I went to get my video camera and when I got back the craft had flown further down the coast, constantly changing speeds, it then disappeared. Thanks to www.UFOCenter.com
CANCUN – On May 26, 2004, seven witnesses on the beach at Quintanaroo thought they were seeing a shooting star that had a bit of a tail at 1 AM. The shooting star shot down then slowed and turned the opposite way, shot across, and then disappeared. We saw almost ten of these in twenty minutes. Whatever they were they did not appear to be in our atmosphere. They all definitely seemed to be in space. An employee of the hotel, who was also watching confirmed that he had never seen this and that it was not normal. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
UK - Flying Saucer and Cylinder
KENT – On May 19, 2004, a large black cigar shaped object was observed and a helicopter showed interest investigated and then flew away at 2:15 PM. The cigar disappeared after fifteen minutes or so. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com
TORBAY, South Devon -- Colleen Smith and Paul James of the Herald Express report the switchboard was swamped with calls on 27 May 2004, from readers who said they spotted mysterious objects over Torbay. Some reckoned what they saw was a Jumbo jet-sized party balloon while others accepted it as a UFO. There was a suspicion the cigar-shaped craft was nothing more harmless than an "8 Meter Airship" sold for Ł12.95. Chef Nick Borne from Paignton, who took the main picture using his mobile phone to snap panoramic views from the Berry Head Hotel when the craft suddenly appeared in shot. A bemused Nick secured a couple of images and continued eating. But the object, which he captured for posterity at 6.30 PM, was witnessed by at least 20 others elsewhere in the Bay at around the same time.
One mystified sky watcher was retired British Aerospace engineer Roy Dutton. He tracked an object for 20 minutes through a high-powered telescope. He reckoned it was flying at 10,000 feet and was at least the size of a Jumbo jet. After about 15 minutes it stopped. Then, it just wobbled and ascended to probably double the altitude, drifting away over the Channel. I lost it eventually at about 5.25 PM, when I had to move the telescope because of the trees. What concerned me was that it was in the flight path often used by aircraft approaching Exeter airport. Thanks to Jim Hickman Director Skywatch International
LONDON -- On May 27, 2004, an eight year old girl heard a beeping noise so she looked out her window at 1 AM. She stated, "There was a flying submarine with flashing red lights, I have never seen a plane or helicopter like it as it did not have wings or a propeller."

Portuguese Air Force Alert
The Portuguese Air Force has been on alert since June 1, 2004, when several authorities reported seeing a luminous UFO. "Military radar surveillance has been increased and F-16 planes are ready for takeoff," according to the daily Correio da Manha. The Portuguese civil protection service had received scores of calls from people who reported seeing a silent, luminous object in the sky on Tuesday night, giving off white smoke. Air force spokesman Colonel Carlos Barbosa confirmed to Lusa news agency that military radars had detected "a target ... that was not identified as a plane" for two or three minutes. The national air traffic control authority, Navegacao Aerea de Portugal (NAV), also confirmed a UFO had been spotted. "The Oporto control tower detected a flying object which had been observed 25 minutes earlier in Montijo and Beja (south),"
A spokesman of the European Space Agency indicated if it was the fall of a satellite or meteor, they "would be informed." The Portuguese weather service said there was no meteorological explanation for the phenomenon. " http://groups.yahoo.com/group/black-triangle

Italian Crop Circle and Cylinder
MILAN – Probably the first formation of crop circles was formed during the night of 1 and 2 June 2004, in Rho a town in the north of Italy near Milan. The witness saw a bright white light from that field that night. Some images are on web site: Thanks to Ciao Alessandr

"VILLASANTINA (Tolomezzo), On Carnia (Frilly), June 2nd, 2004. I was in the garden at 5:10 PM, with my younger brother and we spotted a long, white object that looked like a huge flying cigarette - though a little shorter than an actual cigarette - but still gargantuan. It slowly moved sideways within the clouds and sometimes turned on itself. I immediately ran towards the gate, trying to get closer and see what the object was, but as soon as I reached the gate and looked at the sky, it was not there anymore. The object didn't reflect the environment." Thanks to Roberto Malini, Federico Dezi, Andrea C. www.ufoitalia.net
Australia - Bright Red Spot
SYDNEY -- I just wanted to tell you about a thing my partner and I saw last Friday nigh on May 28, 2004, 7 pm, driving home from Sydney to Hurstville. We always drive around the airports. We like to watch the planes flying in, in queues, see how many the ATC can line up in the air for landing. As we watched the numerous aircraft near Sydney International my other half just happened to notice this bright red spot sitting up a lot higher than anything else, not flashing, not moving, and not doing anything. When we got home 15 minutes later my wife pointed out that it was still there in a perfectly clear sky. The red dot was at about 50 degrees overhead to the north. As we watched, it began to "shudder" as the light dimmed out. Then it popped back on again. It did this at least ten times, each time reducing in size until it was not visible any more. Thanks to Kelly.
Is the Day of UFO Disclosure Near?
David E. Twichell writes, "With the recent admission of true "unknowns" in the skies above Mexico, the American truth embargo concerning the UFO phenomenon is loosing its effectiveness." Mexico is the latest country to officially declare UFO's as a phenomenon worthy of validation and serious scrutiny by the mainstream scientific community. France's "COMETA Report" was the first to publicly release documentation of highly credible cases and conclude that the unknown objects are "real and probably of extraterrestrial origin." Their analysis was suffixed with criticism of the American government for dragging its heals in admitting the same to its people. Between November of 1989 and March of 1990, a virtual armada of triangular-shaped UFOs flew over Belgium. On two separate occasions, a pair of F-16 fighters chased the unknown craft but were outpaced and outmaneuvered by them. By the end of the siege, the Belgium government was forced to conclude, "With over one thousand eyewitnesses, confirmed radar sightings, and military confirmation, the fact that an unknown craft moved across the country of Belgium cannot be denied."
Surprisingly, this is not the first time that Mexican authorities have conceded an unknown presence in their skies. In 1991, as thousands of eyes looked skyward to observe the full eclipse of the sun, several disk-shaped objects were observed and filmed all over Mexico. Naysayers came out of the woodwork to identify the objects as nothing more sinister than "stars." This explanation was given despite the fact that: (1) the objects moved as if by intelligent control across the sky while other heavenly bodies remained stationary, (2) digital enhancement revealed the moving objects to possess a "hockey puck" shape instead of round, as would a star, (3) many of the objects moved in front of passing clouds.
In the March 5, 2004 case in Campeche, Mexico, skeptics wasted no time in offering conventional explanations that, once again, did not fit the evidence. One theory was that the lights were pockets of some "unknown" gasses, even though radar returns showed them to be solid objects. Another explanation was that they were dying satellites burning up in Earth's atmosphere as they fell out of orbit. What are the odds of eleven satellites falling from orbit at the same time at the same location? And since when do dying satellites terminate their decent to hover around a conventional aircraft and then disappear without a trace?
As the volume of documented cases by highly credible witnesses grows and radar and photographic technologies become more sophisticated, it is becoming increasingly difficult for world governments to deny the fact that intergalactic travelers with superior technologies are observing our comparatively primitive island, Earth. And still our world's most highly advanced superpower refuses to budge from its position of universal
supremacy.
Yet many will agree that Americans are being prepared for the day of disclosure. This fact is evidenced in the arts as well as television documentaries and a gradual transformation of attitude within the mainstream media. The polls continuously demonstrate an increasing acceptance of the extraterrestrial explanation for the ongoing influx of worldwide sightings. Meanwhile, ninety percent of Americans believe that their government has not been forthcoming with all that they know in regard to the phenomenon. Pressure is being brought to bear on those "in the know" by UFO organizations like MUFON, Skywatch International Inc. and others, as well as respected scientific organizations such as NIDS (National Institute for Discovery Science).
If hundreds of thousands of American citizens, over the past half-century, have not been enough to force our government to show their hand, perhaps declarations by other world governments, such as Mexico's, will. I wouldn't expect the revelation to be simply dropped in our laps but I feel that recent developments will force an escalation in the preparatory process by our government.
It is clear that other world governments already view American authorities with distain for their lack of honesty in the area of the UFO phenomenon. If the truth embargo endures much longer, the day may come when the visitors make their presence known abruptly and undeniably. At that juncture, any and all governments with prior knowledge will be left with egg on their faces. I firmly believe that America is far too smart to leave themselves open to such a fate. I hope that is not just wishful thinking on my part. Thanks to David E. Twichell http://www.ufoimplications.com

Filers Files #26 - 2004 Skywatch Investigations
George A. Filer, Director MUFON Eastern
Vice President of Skywatch International
June 17, 2004, Webmaster: Chuck Warren --
Threat from Taurid Meteors
The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files make the assumption that extraterrestrial intelligent life exists.

Taurid Meteor Stream Approaching
I have received dozens of e-mails concerning the possible threat of a meteor impact on Earth. Someone impersonating Dr. Gartrell a scientist from Australia has made a series of dire impact predictions on the Internet for later this month. Dr. Gartrell denies he made the predictions and said. "There is always a finite possibility of the impact of space debris and I am certainly in favor of the work being done on early-warning systems, but I have no knowledge whatsoever of any ... imminent threat. I have never met any of the people who are making such claims on the Internet."
Comet over Japan May 9, 2004
I thought it would be interesting to determine if there is
any realistic threat to Earth? NASA reports that the
closest comet approach will be on June 26, 2004, by
Comet 1998 SF36, at .0137 or about five times the
distance of earth to moon (e=m). One of the facts
known about comets is that they tend to divide or fragment
and some debris might hit the Earth.
David Booth who wrote the controversial book 'Code Red: The Coming Destruction of America, 2004' predicts, "A large dark planetary object will come up from beneath the Earth and collide with the South Pole. There will be huge explosions on the West Coast of US."
Based on the available evidence it is my opinion this will not happen. However, the facts are according to the famous astronomer Sir Fred Hoyle that the Earth has been hit regularly by large meters. There were mass extinctions 94.5 million years ago, a mass extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago, and another extinction of life 36.9 million years ago. Studies indicated that impact craters on the Earth and on the Moon show sustained and violent bombardments taking place about every 30 million years. The sun and its solar system move through the far edges of the Milky Way periodically in a circular pattern. The Milky Way contains millions of comet fragments or meteors that could destroy life on Earth at almost any time.
Twice each year Earth passes through the Taurid meteor stream from the 24 June to 6 July and again from 3 to 15 November that contains billions of meteoroids and fragmented space debris. The meteors radiate from an Epsilon Tauri and Taurus. Sir Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe claim there were impacts around 10,000 BC causing the ice Age to end, others at 7000 BC, 5000 BC, 4000 BC, 2500 BC, 1000 BC and 500 AD. Archeological excavations indicate that from 2500 B.C. to 2000 B.C. formerly well-established civilizations collapsed or disintegrated under bombardment from Taurid meteors. These disasters occurred in the Aegean, Anatolia, The Near and Middle East, Egypt, North Africa and Asia. Egyptian records indicate a climatological upheaval and abrupt desertification of previously lush agricultural lands. During this period many of the pyramids were built and their shape and size would make great bombardment shelters to protect the pharaohs. The red planet Mars passes through the sky near Taurus and it is interesting to note that the Arabian word for Cairo means Mars. The Great Sphinx in Cairo and the so called Bent and Red Pyramids of Dashur were painted red because of their association with the Mars.
We are entering a particularly dangerous period as waves of galactic material swamp the entire solar system. We are dangerously close to the upper limit of the cycle of about 39 million years when severe impacts occur. The sun is now penetrating the remains of a disintegrating giant molecular cloud that is a star-forming region of the Milky Way. Essentially we are entering or within a part of the galaxy that indicates that a bombardment episode is imminent and that the impact rate may be exceptionally high. We are presently at the inner edge of the Orion spiral arm where there are likely to be more meteoroids and comets. Astronomers claim a disintegrating comet exploded in the air above Tunguska, Russia on June 30, 1908, flattening 2,000 square miles of forest. On June 22 to 26, 1975, our Moon was splattered with a sustained barrage of ton sized boulders. The facts are there is a potential danger as we ride on spaceship Earth and many UFO reports during late June and July may turn out to be space debris. Although a major impact is very unlikely, we can count on running into the Taurid meteor stream later this month.
NASA states, "There are no known Near Earth Object's (NEO) on a collision course with the Earth. There is a possibility that an as yet undiscovered large NEO may hit the Earth, but the probability of this happening over the next 100 years is extremely small." NEOs are small objects—asteroids and certain comets—that orbit in the solar system relatively close to Earth and could one day collide with Earth. The NASA declaration makes me extremely nervous because dark fragments could be headed this way. In March, NASA activated the Sentry, a new system to monitor NEOs and assess their threat to Earth. Our atmosphere will protect us from most space debris, but impacts are likely to be heard and smaller meteorites will likely get through. http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/neofact.html
This summer the world's top scientists will meet to plan defenses against an asteroid bombardment that could wipe out a city or disrupt a country's infrastructure. The scientists will plan ways to divert and discover ways to combat collisions from space.
Last December, Britain's Royal Astronomical Society hosted an international meeting of astronomers on the asteroid impact threat. In January, the world's astronomers petitioned Australia's government to build a special asteroid-detecting telescope. In March, NASA activated a "Sentry," a new system to monitor near-Earth objects (NEOs). Brian G. Marsden, with the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts claims, "We've had a couple of close shaves during the past few months," An asteroid caused public jitters when discovered March 12. Named 2002 EM7, it came from the direction of the sun—an astronomical blind spot where objects are hidden in the sun's glare. Astronomers didn't detect 2002 EM7 until four days after it came within 288,000 miles of Earth, which they regard as a close encounter. In September, NASA will conduct a "Workshop on Scientific Requirements for Mitigation of Hazardous Comets and Asteroids,"
The point is that there are dangerous asteroids, meteoroids, and comet fragments heading toward Earth. It will be interesting to watch the skies, but most of the debris passes by during the daylight. Only infrared cameras are likely to pick up the fireworks. Often as the meteors enter our atmosphere an explosion can be heard and occasionally large meteors can be caught on camera.
Mars - The Tubes
Professor David Southwood, European Space Agency Director of Science states, "One of the main targets of the Mars Express mission is to discover the presence of water in one of its chemical states. Through the initial mapping of the South polar cap on 18 January, OMEGA, the combined camera and infrared spectrometer, has already revealed the presence of water ice and carbon dioxide ice."
Scientists claim where there is water there is life and based on this assumption and my experience as a photo interpreter, I believe there are strong indications of intelligent life has existed on Mars.
A JPL satellite image.
http://www.msss.com/moc_gallery/ab1_m04/maps/M0001674.gif shows tubes near a large crater where water leakage is apparent. The letters "RID" are also evident just below the tube indicating some kind of artificial structures on Mars and intelligence.
In the center of the image are glassy semi-transparent linear features with a cylindrical shape that are tube or tunnel like. These diameters range from 140 yards and greater with somewhat regular supporting arch structure. The tubes are mostly buried but occasionally are uncovered. (25.63 N 37.5W)
At numerous places on Mars these strange tube like structures may indicate a transfer system for large amounts of water from the polar caps, or other sources of water such as found in craters. We have spotted water collection systems within the craters. This tunnel system would also likely contain an underground railroad, boats, or a method for moving bulk cargo. Each spring millions of gallons of water melt at the polar caps and may be transported through the tubes to underground municipalities. The tubes could also be used to launch Martians off the planet since rockets are a wasteful method of going in to space. Rockets expend much of their energy in lifting themselves and their fuel rather than lifting cargo. Electromagnetic craft using the tubes could reach high speeds underground and catapult into space. This approach is well suited to Mars because its gravity is less than half of the earth's. An ideal site for gradual acceleration is on a steady upward slope. An electromagnetic train could reach speeds of thousands of miles an hour underground and gradually climb some high point and shoot out into space, accelerate and continue on to Earth.
Even today, UFO's are photographed regularly by the NASA Mar's Rovers indicating unidentified space craft are being operated over Mars. The Russian Phobos II satellite using infrared technology discovered large sources of Mars underground heat indicating a city the size of San Francisco. Many of the monuments on Mars may have been built as a warning to us that the inhabitants were aware of impending disaster and then built exceptionally large structures to the provide both a warning and a record of their civilization.
Upstate New York - Daylight Objects
A house wife writes that she noticed people were saying that they were taking pictures of the clouds and unseen strange objects were appearing in their photos. She decided to do some experimenting and went out with her camera three days ago, and started to take random pictures of the sky. She says, "On June 7, 2004, when I got in to look at my photos I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Not only did one 'object' appear, but sometimes two were in the photos. Everyday I have been taking photos, and everyday I am seeing what I call "silver orbs" and "flat silver objects." These things are not there when I take the photos but show up on the photographs. I have seen so many other pictures just like mine now, that there is no denying that there are allot of these up there. Thanks to Brian Vike http://www.hbccufo.com/
New Jersey – Oval and Lights
FORT LEE -- Right after the five military jets flew by going southwest at 4 PM, an oval shaped, black, heavy-like object was observed heading northwest on May 31, 2004. The jets made a huge sound and the witness saw a strangely tilted object that might have been a big balloon or an advertising aircraft. However, this craft was not floating; it was flying and had a heavy metal feeling. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
MANVILLE – The witness noticed a moving light in the sky that brightened and dimmed and occasionally darted around on June 3, 2004, at 11:15 PM. The witness states, "From my porch, I saw a light that seemed to move slightly and change in brightness and drifted to the west. Then it darted very quickly to the side, then back. As the hour passed it seemed to drift northwest, the light got smaller, but still varied in brightness. Around 12:12 AM, it finally faded out of sight still moving west. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Pennsylvania – Light Flies Formation With Plane
COLLINGDALE – The observer was lying in bed watching the planes in the sky and a large bright white light appeared a short distance behind an airplane on June 2, 2004. There are three planes that have the same route fairly close together and he always watches them pass. The first was at 11:11 PM, the second at two minutes later, and the third at 11:20 PM. The observer states, "I was watching this last plane coming towards me and all of a sudden a very bright circular looking light appeared not far behind the plane." This was not another plane, because it was too close and had just one very bright white light. It flew formation with plane for a few seconds and then it stopped for a second, dimmed a notch, then a second later it dimmed another notch, a second after that it just went out." Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
West Virginia – UFO Seen With Sun Glasses
BECKLEY – On June 3, 2004, the witness was traveling north on I-77on an overcast day when he spotted a UFO through the lens of his sunglasses at 12:23 PM, that appeared as a bright star. Directly in front of the car was a bright round object at 45 degrees off the horizon moving west about the speed of a small prop plane. The sunglasses are probably polarized. He reports, "I looked over the glasses to try to see a contrail, but the object disappeared, but when I looked through the glasses, I could see the bright object again." I looked over my glasses for the second time and could see only sky. With the sun behind me I could see the object through my glasses! Is it cloaking, ET or terrestrial? As far as I know, I am the only one to see it." Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
North Carolina – Disc
MOSHEIM - Mr. Mark W. Repass says, "At first I thought I was seeing a large meteorite traveling horizontally across the night sky on June 2, 2004, at 11:15 PM. But then I noticed there was no trail and it was symmetrical and solid. It was traveling south at a high rate of speed like the military jets do when they fly the treetops around here, but it was dark. There was only one light and no flashing lights the way aircraft have. From my perspective it was about twenty percent the size of the moon and gained altitude and flew around the tip of the mountain to the south the way a military jet would, then made a left turn and disappeared. It was very fast and very smooth. It had no flashing lights and made no sound and was too fast for a helicopter." Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Florida – Falling Red Balls and a Flying Triangle
WEST PALM BEACH -- On June 2, at 11:55 PM, the witness walked outside and noticed a bright object to the southwest that was getting really bright and then dim to the point where he couldn't see it. He grabbed his binoculars and saw six or seven small red balls of light shooting downward out of this larger light. It was very much like a UFO documentary. Balls of light were dropping and shooting out of this object. The witness called several news stations, but nothing had been reported. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director
MILTON -- Two witnesses were sitting on their front porch talking at 10:40 PM, on June 5, 2004, and observed two shooting stars and then another star moving slowly in sky. The neighbor noticed two more lights behind it and these formed a flying triangle. There were no clouds this night and the object was traveling slowly east and remained in the triangle position for five minutes, then each light blinked off one after another. No aircraft was noted in the area, and it was moving ever so slow. Thanks to

Ohio - UFOs Videotaped
Fostoria - George Ritter continues to video tape UFOs over the nearby farmer's fields. A MUFON investigation team visited George last Sunday.
Above is frame one of the UFO videotape. Frame 2 is below taken 1/180 of a second
later. The UFO has moved into the trees.
A 20,000 year old French cave drawing by homo sapiens recorded their life styles and conquests by painting amazingly accurate pictures of animals such as bison, horses, antelopes, and mammoths--that were almost universally found in the area. But in addition there were unknown symbols known as Tectiforms, that are painted in such a way as to indicate they are flying in the sky above the other figures.
Illinois – Circular Object
Chicago – A small white circular object hovered in the sky on June 1, 2004, at 1:30 PM above the city. The witness says, "I was sitting on my back porch and noticed an object floating by in the sky, that moved slowly and then hovered for about two minutes. It was round and white, and it was small in size. It stood still and then started moving upwards and disappeared." Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.hbccufo.com/
New Mexico – Multi-Colored Craft
MANZANO MOUNTAINS -- The witness reports we have a farm east of the mountains and see unusual aircraft that show multiple colors and fly at the altitude the military generally uses. There are many more colors than normal. We milk the cows at an odd hour in the evening due to my boys playing little league and see these craft several times an hour between 9 PM and 11 PM. We are on a major flight path for the Albuquerque and Kirtland Air Force Base. We have been having a number of sonic booms here as of late where we can't see the plane. That speaks to me of two possibilities. Either they are moving so fast we won't be able to see them, or they are camouflaged to match our blue sky, so it wouldn't surprise me if these craft were military in nature. Thanks to Brian Vike, Director http://www.hbccufo.com/
Arizona – Bright Moving Lights
CHANDLER -- Zeke Jimenez, 17 years old, was outside observing the Moon on June 3, 2004, with his brand new telescope and saw two stars in the southwest that looked like very close bright planets at 9 PM. He aimed his telescope at the objects and when he looked back up one of the objects started to fade away. He states,"That's when I knew I was looking at something out of this world when the first UFO faded away." He called his sister but the last UFO then it started to fade away also. By the time my sister came out it was already gone. All this happened probably within 30-60 seconds. My heart was pounding because I have never seen anything like that in my life before. The objects were really bright ten times brighter than any planet. Through the telescope he saw a dark circle with a really thin line of light from the Moon." Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
California – Cylinders and Light
MODESTO -- At 9 PM, on Memorial Day, May 31, 2004, while glancing up at Canis Major, the witness saw an out of place luminous object twice the magnitude of Polaris. The witness states, "Immediately I knew that the object didn't belong there and brought it to the attention of two nearby friends. As they looked the object void of contrail or trailing "burn off" bolted to the east for about a second coming to a full stop within the Sextan's Star Formation. It stayed almost perfectly still for ten seconds, then in a "wobbly" manner descended, and dramatically decreased its intensity and magnitude to a faint pinhead object just over the house tops. This was a magnificent white light that along its decent jettison a gold colored object, which remained stationary for about four minutes until we lost site of it. The main object was so intensely bright we could not discern its shape, but it was probably spherical or round. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Modesto UFO taken by R. David Anderson May 31, 2004.
ORINDA – A recording engineer who works in Berkeley was driving on Highway 24 West, approaching the Caldecott tunnel in slow traffic when he saw a cigar-shaped silver UFO on June 2, 2004. It was flying north of East Bay Hills of at 12 PM. It was not shiny metallic, but silver and had no wings or tail. It flew north until the hills blocked the view. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
SAN FRANCISCO – Another witness saw a cylinder shaped craft on June 11th, 2004, around 11:30 AM, while walking to his home in Potrero Hill. He states, I was looking at the Bernal Heights Hill, south of San Francisco when I saw a shiny object in the sky that caught my attention." What struck me as odd was it seemed to be diving too steeply toward the ground. Then I noticed there were no wings on the object. A passing thought that occurred to me was that it might be some strange metal capsule dropped from somewhere. It looked like a missile in how it was moving and shape. Then almost immediately one of those planes with the long contrails quickly flew in the direction of where the object has last been seen. Thanks to Brian Vike, Director http://www.hbccufo.com/
Canada – Disk and Globes
WHITBY, ONTARIO -- Around 7:50 AM, the witness was walking to school on June 3, 2004, when he saw a disc that seemed to have two wings on its sides. It flew at a constant speed at only 250 feet altitude in a horizontal direction. It then climbed at about a 40 degree angle and disappeared. The witness states, "I know what a plane looks like, but this craft gave me chills."
VERNON, B.C. On Saturday night June 5, 2004, the first flash was so bright it appeared to lighten the close surroundings at 11:15 PM. It was flying under 8000 feet just over the building when a halogen white flare appeared, pulsed once and vanished. Then low in the northwest sky a few miles away another halogen white globe flared that was visible for a few seconds, dimmed, and then vanished. About ten minutes after midnight, 8000 feet over the airport a white light became visible in the cloud as it descended to just under the cloud. It was bigger than the small planes that fly there. It brightened, then dimmed back to a light the brightness of Jupiter, started to ascend back into the cloud then vanished. Through the scattered clouds the witness could see two golden globes heading both north and south at different times. Thanks to Brian Vike, Director, HBCC UFO Research
Portugal: UFO Photographed
Monte Novo - A UFO was photographed on Monday, May 31, 2004, around 2:30 PM, by Eduardo Silva, 25, of the Instituto de Soldadura e Qualidade (ISQ) as he performed a water quality survey on the waters of Monte Novo. Two engineers and two students were together but did not notice the presence of the object until they checked the images picked up by the digital camera. The Portuguese Air Force had followed the tracks of a "spindle-shaped" object which had crossed the national air space. On Monday, Colonel Barbosa of the Armed Forces High Command explained that they were currently "cross-checking information from the radar images and eyewitness accounts." The reflection of the sun on the apparently metallic object agrees with the shadows of the trees shown in the photo.

PORTIMĂO -- On June 1, 2004, the witness saw what appeared to be a comet with a long very bright conical tail at 11:15 PM. Suddenly, it started moving very fast in zigzags to the southwest with a reddish point and it disappeared leaving a long bright tail behind it, that lasted for a few minutes. It was not a comet, it was not a meteorite, it was not space debris, because debris or meteorites don't circle and don't stop in the air. This UFO was seen in various places in Portugal and was on TV and in all the press.
Twenty people saw a big light on the horizon flying from south to north for 500 km over Portugal on June 1, 2004, at 11 PM. All the people that saw the phenomenon report that the UFO was traveling with a strong light, and with a strange tail of smoke. The trajectory was never consensual, the speed also. The last sightings were around 500 kilometers far from the first ones. The sighting was covered by Portuguese television, radio stations and newspapers.

Italy – Numerous UFO Reports
MILAN – It looks like Milan has become the favorite destination of both UFOs and
strange lighting effects. In a fortnight span, we received almost ten reports from people witnessing aerial phenomena, plus one regarding a triangular Crop Circle in Mazzo di Rho. On June 4th, 2004, V.R reports, "A noisy object slowly flew above my house at midnight, heading northeast and that wasn't an airplane. It emitted bright white lights and a loud noise and disappeared beyond some palaces. Thanks to Roberto Malini and Federico Dezi
Slovak - National Museum Crop Circles Exhibit
BRATISLAVA – The Slovak National Museum recently opened an exhibition entitled Crop Circles displaying the pictograms and agro-symbols that unidentified flying objects have left on Slovak territory. According to the exhibition's organizers, witnesses have seen round, disk-shaped UFOs at the site of 85 percent of the crop circles here, as well as abroad. The exhibition displays all the pictograms from Slovakia that have been registered by the Trnava UFO club. Miroslav Karlík, the club's chairman says, "The Trnava club has registered nine locations where crop circles appeared, and 178 reports on UFO observations in the Trnava region between 1992 and 2003."
Captured on a videocassette and in pictures by amateurs, the display also features photographs from the Bratislava region. Another part of the exhibition presents the cases of pictograms found in England in the areas of Stonehenge, Crabwood, and Chilbolton. The country is famous for its large number of these formations. At the beginning of the 1990s, around 300 pictograms were found there annually. The exhibition runs until July 25. Thanks to Zuzana Habšudová http://www.slovakspectator.sk/clanok-16397.html
New Zealand – Meteroite
WELLINGTON (Reuters) - A grapefruit-sized meteorite smashed through the roof of a New Zealand house, hitting a couch and bouncing off the ceiling before coming to rest under a computer. The 1.3 kg (2.9 lb) chunk of space debris dropped out of the sky and plummeted through the tiled roof of the Auckland home Saturday. "I was in the kitchen doing breakfast and there was this almighty explosion," owner Brenda Archer told the Sunday Star-Times newspaper. "It was like a bomb had gone off. I couldn't see anything, there was just dust." Archer's one-year-old grandson had been playing nearby minutes before it hit. It is only the ninth meteorite found in New Zealand and the first to hit a home. The Archers, who are following expert advice by drying the rock out in their oven, plan to sell it or give it to a museum. Experts believe the meteorite, a chunk of an asteroid, could be worth more than NZ$10,000 ($6,290), the newspaper said.

Shuttle Captures Video of Disc UFO
NASA TV Channel video downloads were recently reviewed Dr. Oren Swearingen who noticed a disc shaped UFO flying formation with SST 112 Atlantis shuttle. The actual flight took place on October 10, 2002, (003 days: 03 hours: 43: seconds) while the shuttle was flying over the Canadian and Midwest US border. A disc shaped UFO is videotaped from the SST Shuttle's Bay video camera. The disc at first appears to some part of the Shuttle Arm because it is barely moving in relationship to the Shuttle. Jeffrey S. Ashby, was commander and astronaut Pamela A. Melroy, pilot, astronaut David A. Wolf, was the mission specialist.
The video cuts away to the Mission Control Center repeatedly, but half of the white UFO is visible. As the video continues the UFO gradually moves off screen to the right of the image. The UFO is white and about the same color as the shuttle. It is a typical disc shape and is estimated to be about thirty feet in diameter with a cockpit on top. The object may some type of object designed to fit inside the Shuttle's Bay particularly if its wings fold. Of course it might be a visitor similar to those reported by Russian Cosmonauts. Disc UFO is at the bottom center of NASA image.
Thanks to Dr. Oren Swearingen who sent me the complete tape.
Vermont – Black Object
SOUTH ROYALTON – A black object was observed in the sky on June 10, 2004, at 2:30 PM, and continued maneuvering for over an hour to various locations. I have original photographs if they need to be documented. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
New York - Blue Shiny Ball and Oval
BUFFALO -- While taking a walk a couple noticed a black oblong oval shaped object directly overhead and very high at 8:40 PM on June 11, 2004. The black oblong oval shaped object then changed to a shining metallic color. It was black in the center and faded to gray at the edges and was stationary in cloudless sky. The object then turned to an intense bright white metallic color and disappeared. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
NEW YORK CITY (BRONX) – The observer says, "I saw a bright bluish light at 11:30I PM on June 12, 2004, while walking in the Kingsbridge section of the Bronx. It flew from west to east very slowly. In the beginning it was slightly erratic. At one point I looked away and when I looked back it was there again. The sky was very clear and it shone very bright. It was like a mix of a reflection, a ball of energy, sparkly, an electric blue ball shinny bubble of electricity. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
New Jersey – Two Low-Flying Triangular Lights
HOWELL – MUFON's Chuck Stroze writes, "I had a sighting on January 29, 2004, almost exactly the same as the one reported in the May MUFON Journal." When I was driving home at 10 PM, I saw six bright lights just above the overpass of State Highway 33." There were three lights above and three lights all flying very low. As I continued to drive south, it struck me that they were heading straight towards me. I stopped my car and got out to look on that cold night. At first I thought it was one craft with two levels of three forward facing white lights. I soon realized instead that each "level" as I had described it, was actually one craft. I stood and watched as they came closer, seemingly right at me. There was no sound, as the two craft turned west as they were almost over me, gained altitude and flew parallel to route 33. They drifted, slowly and quietly. From behind, I could barely see them. Their lights were directed mostly straight ahead, but I never got a very good look at the structure of the craft themselves. Thanks to MUFON's Chuck Stroze
Pennsylvania – UFO Makes U-turn
JESSUP – The witness looked up into the sky and noticed a weird shaped red object west of his house towards the town of Peckvillsaw. The UFO was making a sideways U turn on June 13, 2004, at 12:24 AM., that lasted three seconds. The UFO was red in color, and had an odd shape. It made a U shape in flight and went back to where he first saw it and disappeared. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
West Virginia – Investigation
SAINT ALBANS -- MUFON Field Investigator K. David McCormick interviewed the two witnesses to a UFO sighting on the night of October 8, 2003, at 10:30 PM. A women and her nephew were driving around town on Grant Avenue and saw what appeared to be a large moving star, two or three times the brightness of other stars. Although the object was stationary for most of the time it appeared to maneuver twice descending and climbing rapidly back to its original position. The witnesses were sure the object was not Mars, that they had been recently tracking. They felt the light was only about a mile away and moved up and down as they drove. Both viewers became frightened by the object. After evaluating the location of the object based on the Night Sky Planisphere, and interviewing the two witnesses, David McCormack feels the witnesses misinterpreted the star Altair possibly due to possible refraction of the star through the auto glass and the movement of the vehicle. This was not a hoax, but a misinterpretation of the night sky. Thanks to MUFON Field Investigator K. David McCormick
Maryland – Sphere
CRISFIELD – The witness saw a red-sphere shaped UFO about 9 PM, on June 13, 2004, that was flying 5 to 10 mph, too slow for a helicopter or aircraft. The witness could not determine the size of the object but is familiar with many types of aircraft lights, but they were not like this one. He thought it might be a satellite; but there was no sound at all, that's the strange thing. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Florida -Disc Bursts Into Colors
NEW PORT RICHEY -- The witness saw a disc like shape hovering over the Gulf of Mexico at 4:30 PM on June 11, 2004. He took a video of the object that shows bursting lights that changed colors from green, to red, and blue moving very slowly. He states, "There could have been dust on my lens, but in two of the photos, there are no dust specs all over." But there is a big spec in each of the shots. "I do not necessarily believe in UFO's, but I'm open to the possibilities, he said." Thanks to Peter Davenport Director
Crestview – On June 7, 2004, the witness reports, "My husband, my two sons, and I went for a walk at 10 PM, and saw a bright white light above the treetops traveling south." We noticed a red streak type tail off the back of it coming to a point. It traveled steady and parallel to the earth for about 30 seconds and then it just faded to just a red light and disappeared. We have never seen anything like that? It looked allot like a shooting star or meteor with the exception that it was a lot larger, brighter, and was traveling horizontally instead of vertically and seemed to be just above the treetops. If you hold your index fingers together and your thumbs together to form a circle and extend you arm all the way out, that is how large it was as it flew by. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Tennessee – Video of UFO
MUFON's Kim Shaffer reports, "I was outside at 10:25 PM, doing my nightly sky watching with my binoculars and video camera. I noticed an object to my SW heading NE and somewhat to my west. At first, I thought it was an aircraft with its landing lights on. As I watched it grew bigger and appeared reddish white, spherical, relative size was that of a pea at arm's length. I began taping on a Sony handicam. There was no noise, no variation of the illumination and no course change. As I taped, the object passed west of me and I could see that there were two objects, one behind the other. Both were illuminated the same. As the object passed from view to the NE, I ran inside and went to the "heavens above "site to check the current position of the "ISS" which was over the central Pacific heading SE. I will have the clip edited and put on the Tennessee MUFON site news page soon, http://www.mufontennessee.org/
Thanks to Kim Shaffer MUFON TN State Director shaffer56@earthlink.net
Ohio - Oblong Caught On Film
TOLEDO -- A white circle-shaped object was spotted a few moments before it became distorted, flickered, and disappeared. My wife and I looked up at the sky and saw a large white circle at 2 PM, on June 13, 2004. The clouds moved very quickly, but the object was below them. The clouds were moving pass it as the object stayed in place. This was in the city, so lights were cast onto the downtown area. There were no blinking lights on the object, just a white circle. I have watched the sky for years and am an astronomer as well. This was not a plane, a balloon or a planet peaking through holes in the clouds. Whatever it was vanished into thin air. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
COLUMBUS - A professional photographer on June 20, 2004, was shooting building pictures at sunrise, 6:30 AM, and shoots four or five shots, varying the zoom, but not the angle. On the second shot of four there was an object in the sky. The shutter speed was set at 60th, and the object is blurred some. It appears to have two small attachments to it. It is not a bird or plane. I have been a pro since 1970, and shot a lot of outdoor shots. This was shot on a Nikon D100 digital camera, using a 17 mm to 35 mm zoom lens. This is a quality camera and lens. The lens costs more than the camera.
Neither is prone to malfunction, and the lens is known for it's anti-flare. If you look closely at the image, you can see the object in the sky is lit by the sun in the correct angle. In my mind, this eliminates the malfunction theory. Thanks to Brian Vike Photo posted at www.hbccufo.com .
Indiana – Flying Triangles
LAWRENCEBURG – On June 18, 2004, the observer reports seeing a flying triangular object with five lights, four were yellowish and one was a big red light at 2:16 AM. The flying triangle was seen of two different occasions that night. The craft were very loud but the sound came way before the craft was seen. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Illinois – Light
WOODRIDGE -- The light was traveling at a low speed, and then shook and took off about 10:45 PM, on June 13, 2004. The light was traveling southwest for about nine seconds and either shook or the light appeared to go dim then bright, and within a half second, it shot off and disappeared. The witness also noticed three satellites and a falling star a few minutes earlier. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Oklahoma - Diamonds Not of This World
MCALESTER – A couple saw diamond objects flying above them that seemed to be observing them. The wife first saw the objects at midnight on June 13, 2004, as she tried to point them out to the husband. He was unable to see because of a bright torch. The objects moved to the southeast away from the torch and he was able to see five glowing diamonds with four in formation, and the fifth just behind. As they flew the fifth moved in front very quickly. It was as though they knew I saw them. When my wife saw them, they were about one hundred feet above us to the northeast. They moved up and away at about 45% angle to about one thousand feet in a short second. All the objects were diamond shaped and glowed in the center. The observer states, "I have always been skeptical of UFOs, but I was wrong this was a close encounter of something unearthly." Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Texas – UFO Image
CORPUS CHRISTI BAY – The observer was out taking pictures on Thursday, June 17, 2004, with a Sony 5 mega pixel digital camera. There was nothing at all but clouds when he snapped the picture at 8:45 PM. He stares, "I came in and uploaded them to my PC and to my surprise this picture was in one of the shots... the only thing I did was enhance and zoom in on it." Thanks to Darren Kurz Darrenk@stx.rr.com
Colorado – Flying Triangle
PARKER -- I was driving home from A Perfect Circle concert, at Red Rocks, when my friend and I noticed a strange bright orange light fixed in the sky at the corner of Jordan and Main Street on June 13, 2004. At 12:45 AM, I immediately stopped the car to watch the glowing light. I was in the middle of the road and there were no other cars around. Eventually the light got bigger and we could tell it was coming towards us. A triangular craft with red and blue lights slowly passed over head. It looked really strange. I suppose it could've been some kind of jet... but it was going slow and sounded different also. My friend and I were quite sober and neither of us has ever seen anything like this before. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Arizona -Lights
PHOENIX -- About 10 PM on June 12, 2004, I witnessed a light brighter than a star in the southern sky. The light got brighter as it moved north, and then faded out. At first I dismissed the light as aircraft and was about to look away when another light appeared in the same spot the first one came from. The light appeared the same as the first and duplicated the same flight pattern, then faded out. This all happened in about 15-20 seconds. About a minute later I spotted two more lights traveling side-by-side heading south at a very high speed. Faster than any aircraft or satellites. The light on the right veered off, and the left one flew at greater speed in a looping turn and disappeared. I've always been a critic of people that claim to see this type of stuff. I know what I saw was real.
PHOENIX - CBS 5 News reports that strange lights were spotted after a power outage on Tuesday, June 22, 2004. A power surge left up to 65-thousand Arizonan's in the dark and some are pointing to strange lights in the skies as a possible link to that massive outage. The disturbance was large enough to shut-down all three units at the Palo Verde Nuclear Power Plant when West Valley people spotted something strange hovering in the sky. Less than 48 hours later in the same direction of the plant a video captured a UFO. Astronomer, Steve Kates, known throughout the Valley as "Dr. Sky" says he believes the video is legit. This sighting is special and similar to the "Phoenix Lights" sighting back in 1997. http://www.kpho.com/Global/story.asp?S=1958424 All content © Copyright 2001 - 2004 WorldNow and News 5.
Utah - Two Transparent Triangles
SANDY --At 11 PM, on June 13, 2004, a couple and their two cousins saw a transparent triangle shaped object fly over. It was kind of fuzzy on the edges as the transparency did not go all the way to the edge. There was no sound and there was no emitted light. The sighting lasted all of about two seconds before it disappeared from view behind some trees. We all said "what the hell is that?" One cousin missed the craft and ran out and pointed up. A smaller triangle had appeared in the sky and was headed southeast. It looked like two shaded triangles that may have been linked by a transparent piece. This one had more speed and disappeared into the night sky. We all agreed on the shape and transparency of the triangles. We also all agreed that they appeared to be paper-thin. They made no noise at all, and also made no apparent air disturbance. I will post drawings on my web page. http://www.undergroundvine.net/ufo.
California - Humming Oval and Triangle Imaged
SAN LEANDRO -- Around 2:30 AM, my husband heard loud noise like a humming or tuning fork noise and looked out our window to see a black circle ship with small red lights on bottom on June 9, 2004. It was hovering over the tree tops moving very slowly. He said, "It looked like it was dispersing something that looked like black orbs that were all around it." Then he watched it speed up and fly over Lake Chabot Hills in Castro Valley and then it disappeared. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
TORRANCE – The witness spotted high up in the sky a metal object moving west with the sun reflecting off its surface on June 12, 2004. At 3:03 PM, two antique bi-planes flew at a lower altitude over the car show near the Torrance Airport. The object moved mostly west for seven minutes with the sun light reflecting off its surface periodically. The high flying object would not show up in the digital camera viewfinder.http://www.ufocenter.com/
SONORA -- Mark A. Olson was facing east and noticed a bright flash on June 15, 2004, so he grabbed his camcorder and saw something with three lights. These were not FAA lights! This craft was seen in the DAYTIME! There were three lights in triangular formation, but no craft could be seen. A few minutes before I captured an airplane in the same vicinity and I could clearly see its wings, tailfin, and even the engines, but the triangular craft could not be seen, just the lights! The three lights were recorded on my camcorder for about four minutes. Video clearly shows these lights flying behind a pine tree and after the sighting, I became ill. This is the SIXTH major sighting in Sonora, in the past month. Mark has collected a series of UFO shots that are worth seeing. Thanks to ©2004 Mark A. Olson, D.M. Marks Website: http://www.sonorasightings.com/
MODESTO -- This ufo was hovering for a few seconds above my house on June 18, 2004. It was rotating and changed shape, almost as though something was protruding and retracting from its side. When I looked at it through binoculars it appeared to have a spin to it, rotating counterclockwise. I snapped the picture before observing it with binoculars, and when I put the binoculars down, I lost sight of it completely. Thanks to R. David Anderson
Oregon – Two Sightings
DALLES - Sighting #1 was in March 2004 around 7:45 AM, when the witness was on his way to work he saw a pure white roundish object crossed his path moving very slowly west. There was a slight shadow that seemed to wrap around it horizontally. There were no wings, no points, and no protrusions. It just seemed to fade then disappear.
DUFUR - Sighting #2 - On June 10, 2004, at 5:47 PM, the witness was on his way home from work and noticed heavy north to south thick and dripping contrail (chemtrail) activity. He states, "Above me was a round silver object just below the chemtrail, it flew up, through the chemtrail, came out the other side and just before it disappeared the sun glinted off it like a sparkle." I was able to see that same horizontal band/shadow as the one had in March. Both sightings were in the same vicinity. Thanks to Brian Vike http://www.hbccufo.com/
Washington - Silver Teardrop at 40 Feet
BURIEN – The witness reports seeing a silver, metallic object five to ten feet across, shaped like a teardrop on its side, moving about 40 feet off the ground above Highline Hospital on June 13, 2004. The object was like a drop of mercury, moving in direction of its wider end at 11:30 PM. Although the sky was overcast, the object looked like it was reflecting the sun in a bright area near the top of the object. It moved horizontally, slowly, occasionally making quick vertical adjustments of 3 to 5 feet while maintaining a slow, steady northerly horizontal course, parallel to the ground. The quick vertical adjustments were not consistent with the wind or with the dynamics of a balloon. The object drifted behind a tree, where it was lost to view. The object made no sound, and didn't appear to frighten birds that were plentiful in the area. We are within a mile of SeaTac airport and turned on a scanner to see if ground control or approaching pilots could see the craft, but I heard no strange reports. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director
SEATTLE -- Cliff Mickelson reports, "Heavy meteor showers on June 20, 2004; that Saturday, was one for the record books. The new summer sky had scarcely darkened when a show of unprecedented magnitude began! I've seen lots of meteors over the years. I live near Mount Adams, Mount Rainier, Yakima Valley; the triangle has produced some of the most spectacular UFO sightings ever recorded. Nothing in the past could have even remotely prepared me for what I, and a small group of friends saw! What a show! It began with a rapid fire overture of meteors. One after another, they blazed and burned with increasing fury across the sky. From out of the southern heavens, a rain of rocks from distant worlds hurtled down. One, two, sometimes even as many as five meteors a minute, provided a ceaseless pyrotechnic display. And then a bright blue-white flash of light stunned us all. From out of the flash emerged a bright, glowing, white, luminescent, object.
This is the form that UFO's commonly take in these parts. The object quickly sped off across the firmament and behind it came more! One after the other, we counted the emerging and brilliantly white objects as they dispersed in all directions across a night sky illuminated by a continuing backdrop of fiery rocks from the stars. In all, my group counted 25 UFO's in the space of 10 minutes. They crossed the sky in a leisurely fashion, and each seemed to have a singular destination. An impressive moment was beheld when several of the objects moved out in formation, but they soon vectored to different directions, some of them even crossing over each other in the mix. My friends, we have visitors. We have LOTS of visitors. I don't know where they are, or what they may look like, but...They are here. And I wager, they are here for a purpose. Thanks to CliffMickelson
Canada – Sighting Continue
NANOOSE BAY, B.C. – A couple was up to Nanoose flats on June 8, 2004, when they saw some flashing hovering lights in the sky at 10:58 PM. My husband said "Must be a helicopter." But there was no sound. Then he said "Maybe it is a UFO," and he was serious. We kept watching and it still did not move. After about five minutes it began to move until it seemed to be right above our vehicle. It was very high up and it was very large. It had very bright lights, three large ones white, yellowish, red were rotating back and forth so that when it was above our car, and I could see that the bottom of this flying object was completely filled in. Not long like an airplane. As the lights reflected underneath it looked more triangular.
SAULT STE. MARIE, ON – The observer was gazing almost directly overhead and saw a silver cigar UFO on June 10, 2004, at 9:15 AM., traveling in a straight horizontal direction from east to west. The cigar made no sound and left no contrails. The observer estimates the object was traveling at an altitude of two kilometers with a rate of speed similar to that of a small airplane. The cigar had no lights and was white-silver in color and the sun reflected off of it. This was observed under a blue sky with zero cloud cover and no wind. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director Australia - House-sized' Meteorite
MENANGLE -- On June 17, 2004, a meteorite reportedly the size of a house fell on the NSW South Coast overnight, exploding in a bright flash, police have said. A driver on the Hume Highway shortly after 9 pm, near Menangle reported an object the size of a house falling from the sky. The object fell east of the Hume Highway, possibly in an escarpment near the top of a hill at Bulli, police were told. The meteorite was described as glowing silver in color and similar to an artillery shell when it exploded with a bright flash on impact. Workers at the Sydney Airport Tower said they saw a meteorite about 9 PM, police said. No other reports were received by police and extensive police patrols of the area for more than an hour did not turn up the space debris. "We went out to check if it was something bad, like a plane," said a police spokesman. "However we didn't find anything - there was no bloody great rock sitting in the middle of the highway, anyway". Thanks to the Australian News http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,9869458%255E421,00.html
New Zealand - Teardrop UFO
RUBY BAY, NELSON – The observer was down on the beach having a smoke at 8 PM, looking out across the bay towards the Nelson Harbor. He states, " On June 11, 2004, I saw a tear drop shaped craft with spinning red lights beaming light into the water." I sprinted to my friend's caravan and got him to look. The teardrop made an electrical humming noise and a thundering sound that could easily be heard by me and the residents of McKees Domain, Ruby Bay. It moved closer towards the beach sending beams of light across the bay. The craft moved at phenomenal speeds and disappeared and reappeared in different places, it moved up into the sky. The objects seemed to be interested in the aircraft departing and landing at the Nelson Airport.
Over the next hour another six craft appeared in the sky that looked like giant orbs of amber light and over the rest of the night the objects moved around the area. The objects came in close and shot off randomly over the rest of the night until morning. Other camping ground residents also saw it and some reported flat batteries in their cars and dead fish being washed up on the beach in Ruby Bay.

NELSON, B.C. – A couple was traveling north along the Kootenay River on Highway 3A on June 16, 2004, when they saw an egg shaped object which sat stationary over the River at 11:55 PM. Around the center of the egg was a broken ring of blue lights which were very bright, but not flashing. The object was 500 to 600 feet above the river. The husband wanted to stop to investigate, but due to his wife being frighten they kept moving but at a slower pace. A short distance down the highway his wife looked behind and it disappeared. The husband estimates the object had a completely smooth surface that was 40 to 50 feet in length. Thanks to Brian Vike http://www.hbccufo.com/
BURLINGTON, ONTARIO -- Mr. Johnston Hunter reports, "I took the picture from my 9th floor balcony using a Canon A70 camera at 2048x1536 Res, I have zoomed it to 20275 x 15206 the max my IrfanView photo software can go, it doesn't look like a plane nor a bird."

UFO is just above cloud!
Colombia – Light
LA CEJA (ANTIOQUIA) -- It was a clear night at 8:30 PM, on June 13, 2004, when, observers saw a red light moving from the north to the south. We thought it was a paper globe or an anti guerilla black hawk helicopter, but suddenly it changed its direction to east very fast, and then it disappeared at the horizon. The sighting was reported to Columbia Air Administration and they said they haven't seen any object in their radar screens.
UK/England - Cylinder and Red Arrows
EMLEY MOOR – Five strange flying objects were spotted in perfect formation by Examiner readers at about 3 PM yesterday. The red arrows type fly-by of Emley Moor is so far unexplained. Mark Windle, who took a photo, said: "It looked to me as if they were objects that were burning up in the atmosphere." There was another plane in the sky and it looked different." "We usually have planes flying past but not in such a regular formation," he said. "It was very strange." Thanks to the Huddersfield Daily Examiner
SOUTHAMPTON -- The observers were a System Migration Manager (Engineering) and an assistant Marketing Director who saw a long cylindrical tube, silver grey in color moving slowly across the sky on June 13, 2004. The object turned vertically at 11 PM, and climbed before returning to a horizontal position. It then turned again and climbed through light cloud cover and eventually disappeared from view after twenty minutes. It was a clear day and we managed to capture the object on film, with five shots with a digital camera. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Portugal - Many Moving Lights
VILA NOVA DE GAIA (PORTO) – Three friends were on the top of a hill on June 11, 2004, having a picnic when one told them to look at the sky at 10:20 PM. They saw a small light, very high in the sky that appeared above the atmosphere moving at a moderate speed. It changed direction four times and then the light dimmed and disappeared. After some minutes we saw another similar light moving towards the opposite direction, then we saw another one in the same direction as the first, we saw about 10 to 15 lights moving in the sky in four different directions. One witness states, "When I attempted to take photos and pointed the camera the lights dimmed immediately, so I put it away." Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Serbia – Light Balls
KRUSEVAC – Two friends looked in the sky at 10:35 PM, and saw something like fireworks with seven to nine red or orange balls of light that did not move on June 11, 2004. They tried to take a photo with their phone, but they disappeared as he tried to shoot. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Pakistan – Flying Triangle
HYDERABAD -- On June 11, 2004, on a hot night two friends were chatting and heard the sound of a jet fighter on patrol at 8:15 PM. There were four lights and with three lights in the corners and one in the middle. Judging by the position of the lights they thought it was a flying triangle although the lights could have been in a circle. The lights looked like searchlights in a cricket or football stadium. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Australia - House-sized' Meteorite
MENANGLE -- On June 17, 2004, a meteorite reportedly the size of a house fell on the NSW South coast overnight, exploding in a bright flash, police have said. A driver on the Hume Highway shortly after 9 pm, near Menangle reported an object the size of a house falling from the sky. The object fell east of the Hume Highway, possibly in an escarpment near the top of a hill at Bulli, police were told. The meteorite was described as glowing silver in color and similar to an artillery shell when it exploded with a bright flash on impact. Workers at the Sydney Airport Tower said they saw a meteorite about 9 PM, police said. No other reports were received by police and extensive police patrols of the area for more than an hour did not turn up the space debris. "We went out to check if it was something bad, like a plane," said a police spokesman. "However we didn't find anything - there was no bloody great rock sitting in the middle of the highway, anyway". Thanks to the Australian News http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,9869458%255E421,00.html

Filers Files #28 – 2004, Skywatch Investigations
George A. Filer, Director MUFON Eastern
Vice President of Skywatch International
June 30, 2004, Webmaster: Chuck Warren --
Discs and Triangles Sighted

MARS – Water Signs Confirmed
NASA scientists are convinced that water once existed on the surface of Mars based on new discoveries from both NASA rovers. Spirit has discovered hematite, an iron mineral that is usually formed in water. It is abundant at Opportunity's site, but not seen before on the other side of the planet. Opportunity, meanwhile, has extended its evidence of water further back in time, through possible past cycles of wet and dry climate. The rover's missions have both entered new phases. Opportunity has descended more than five metres into Endurance crater, while Spirit has begun its reconnaissance at the base of Columbia hills. Scientists agree that where there is water there is also life.
Our photo interpretation of various images indicate that plant life now exists on the planet. Other rover images show symbols, letters, architectural remains and what appears to be fossils of animals and intelligent life forms. Almost every rock shows hundreds of holes indicating that small life forms are present that dig into the rocks.
Spirit's discovery of the first hematite seen at Gusev crater came from a peculiar rock dubbed "pot of gold". The fist-sized rock has strange round nodules that stick out on the end of stalks and also has very distinct planar layering. Despite detailed inspection with the microscopic imager, "we have not got this thing figured out yet," Squyres admitted at a press conference at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in Pasadena, California on Friday. "I don't know how these things formed, and it's driving me nuts!"
Mars - Possible Strange Domes
Norman Bryden has sent MARS MGS IMAGE OF POSSIBLE ACTIVE BIO-DOMES WITH LIFE *PIC* The white flashes may indicate domes. Thanks to Norman Bryden Storm -- Sunday, 18 April 2004, 2:35 p.m. Thanks to Norman Bryden
Shuttle Atlantis Captures Video of Disc UFO Update
On 7 October 2002, Shuttle Atlantis lifted off from Cape Canaveral at 2:46 PM CDT bound for a rendezvous and docking with the International Space Station. This flight saw the onboard ISS Expedition 5 Crew hand over the station to the fresh Expedition 6 Crew. Dr. Oren Swearingen, a skillful and dedicated colleague, recorded the entire flight from his home. For three months, it appeared that all had been normal during this mission. Neither the Doctor, nor Jeff Chandler noticed anything out of the ordinary after perusing all of our videotapes.
Dr. Swearingen was taking a second look, when his tape #12 revealed what seemed to be a disk shaped object retreating slowly behind the cradle of Atlantis' robot arm. The disk does not appear to be part of Atlantis, the ISS, nor anything normally seen. What made the object so easy to miss is the fact that it moves as slowly as the minute hand on a clock. In real time, the event takes a full 95 seconds to unfold. The anomaly disappears so slowly behind the arm cradle, that unless one is paying very careful attention, it would most likely go unnoticed.
This object has what appears to be structure, including a bump on the upperfacing surface resembling a cupola or dome. Shadowing on the object is consistent with shadows on Atlantis, and her robotic arm. Lighting on the anomalous object is in line with the Solar angle. It has none of the appearance of ice particles, or escaped debris. It does not tumble and is extremely stable throughout the entire time it is visible. This object made its debut on flight day 4, at approximately MET (Mission Elapsed Time) 003 days 03 hours 41 minutes, Orbit 51. At this time, the Shuttle/Station complex was sailing high over Nova Scotia at circa 5:00 PM (17:00) CDT. The event took place on 10 October 2002. The STS-112 "Disk Sequence" is the best, and is a most compelling, anomalous event. Hats off to Dr. Oren Swearingen of the great state of Texas, for his diligence, and persistence. Thank you Dr. Swearingen.
The black and white photos are part of the NASA video.
Jeff Challender writes, "The above described event has been said to be an "Elbow" on the Canadarm II . This arm is the ISS counterpart to the arm aboard the Shuttle. It was said that the arm was returning to its cradle after providing camera views of that day's space walk (EVA). We dispute this claim. The time frame was well after the Astronauts were back safely inside Atlantis. It's possible that Dr. Swearingen was mistaken about the time in CDT. But his record of the MET is not. Let us assume that the time of the event was 7:27 PM CDT. The airlock hatch closed at 6:22 PM CDT. Therefore it seems unlikely that the arm was still in use this long after the Astronauts were safely back inside. I have downloaded a NASA photograph, FROM STS-112, of the robot arm in question. I have also added to this photo the image of the disk shaped object in question. I challenge anyone to match the object to ANY PART of the robot arm. Thanks to Jeff Challender see video at http://projectprove.com/STS-112disk.php GIF (C) 2003,
North Atlantic - Boomerang
350 NM EAST OF NORTHERN FLORIDA -- I was delivering a sailing yacht to Ft. Lauderdale, FL from Boston, via Bermuda, standing the twelve to four deck watch in October 1990. It was a beautiful night, very warm and clear at 1 AM, when the boomerang object flew directly over us as it's approach had been hidden by the very large mainsail of the Schooner. The object was huge, twice the size of Ursa Major, it glowed with a pale luminescent, gold or yellow, with a pale blue triangle at leading edge or apex of the arch, the sharp tips at the trailing edges, also, were blue. It was climbing and following an easterly course. It was totally silent, and left a wake of gold "glitter" behind. Soon it seemed to almost explode into several small bright lights then recon dense into a very bright single light and disappear into space.
I saw the exact same thing three years later in 1993, and once again it seemed to be heading east to climb up over the Atlantic from the Southeast U.S. The second craft came from the SW horizon and I could see it's trajectory clearly and also it's very distinct shape and color. Both sightings occurred in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle, 30N 70W. Many mariners have seen these craft, but don't report them for fear of ridicule.
Whatever this vehicle is, whether extraterrestrial or government; it is astonishingly huge, incredibly fast and absolutely silent. The fact that I've seen it twice in a three year period makes me think that this is some kind of routine late night departure to some other planet. I watched the thing punch through the atmosphere twice with my own eyes. Cape Canaveral is located to the west of that position, but I seriously doubt we have anything this wild flying under the stars and stripes. I've always felt that if a UFO wanted to hideout where better but under the sea. Noah's flood has not yet receded: two thirds of the earth is still underwater. The southern edge of the Bermuda Triangle is where the Puerto Rico Trench is, the deepest water in the Atlantic hemisphere, 28,000 ft deep I believe. Thanks to Brian Vike, Director HBCC UFO Research
Massachusetts - White Ovoid
NORWELL – The observer was watching a 747 aircraft at 6:35 PM, on June 20, 2004, when he glanced around he saw a white ovoid flying southeast about 30 degrees above the horizon. It was a round point of white about the size of Venus. Viewed through my 8x30 binoculars the object appeared to be ovoid in shape about twice as wide as it was high. I lost track of the object when I went inside to get a higher power pair of binoculars. I have a B.S. in natural resources, I live near a corridor for airliners flying North to Logan Airport and am familiar with aircraft. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
New York – Light
BUFFALO – The witness watched two objects fly from east to west much faster than the speed of jet aircraft on June 18, 2004. at 11:55 PM. I noticed a second object flying parallel with the first. I thought it odd that 2 satellites would fly in such proximity, when they moved farther apart, then closer together, then farther apart, then made a 45 degree turn to the south. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Pennsylvania - Concave Metallic Disc
PHILADELPHIA – Two friends both 18, were sitting outside on swinging seats facing each other talking on June 18, 2004, at 6:31 PM, when one shouted, "Look !" The friend turned to see a large flat disk that was silver bordered by black with a concave center. The object was silent and emitted no light. The object appeared to move effortlessly almost as if it was gliding on ice. The object wobbled slightly than immediately vanished. The whole incident only took place over the course of 25 seconds. We instantly went on the web to find out information with regard to where we could submit or file an incident report and found this site and here I am now. Several other witnesses reported seeing this disc. http://www.ufocenter.com/
RANSHAW -- A brightly lit sphere-shaped was seen traveling across the horizon at a high-rate of speed on June 17, 2004, at 10:30 PM. The object seemed to zigzag a bit, and appeared to be 'bouncing' here and there. The bright light it emitted never wavered and stayed constant twice as bright as a star. Two other craft were in the vicinity, one following it, while another was coming in from a side direction, almost as if to 'flank' the brightly lit UFO. The craft that was directly behind the UFO appeared to be a standard domestic aircraft. This craft continued following the UFO over the horizon. The 'flanking' craft was a bit more odd, only blinking a deep red light every second or so. This craft flew in from the UFO's side, getting somewhat close to it, but then changed course, and proceeded to fly at a slow rate in the opposite direction of the UFO, right over my house. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Ohio - Pulsing Object and Flying Triangle
LANCASTER - At 3 AM, on the morning of June 23, 2004, my girlfriend and I were heading up Route 33, three miles south of Lancaster. She was the first one to notice the object, then myself. It was just a speckle of light in the sky, starting off as a pinkish light then pulsing to red. The object would have appeared like a normal aircraft, except that this one slowed down to almost a stop then sped up again. We watched it for maybe 20-30 Seconds before it abruptly disappeared. http://www.ufocenter.com/
EUCLID -- I am an intermediate astronomer. It was partly cloudy, so I went out to have a look at Jupiter (no telescope). On June 23, 2004. at 11:14 PM, I saw what I will call a circular white light, from arm's length about the size of a pea, appear from behind a cloud about 34 degrees above the horizon. It traveled in a straight line heading north for about 10 seconds then it simply disappeared. http://www.ufocenter.com/
WILLOUGHBY HILLS -- On June 18, 2004, a veteran law enforcement officer reports, "I was in the parking lot, and saw a jetliner cruising when I saw an object flying much higher and at incredible speed. After just a second or two, it got bigger and I realized it was getting closer. I saw an oddly shaped object that had no wings or tail flying at probably 10,000 feet.

Later, my wife and I were talking on the deck outside 20 miles east of Cleveland on Lake Erie and she told me she had seen a triangle shaped object hovering over a wooded area at 5:45 PM. She was driving east on I-90 near SR 91 when she saw the HUGE flying triangle hovering "about 100 feet above that tree." She said that the 'thing' made no sound and didn't even bounce. She had to stop looking because she might wreck her car. She said she saw it over a very thick wooded area and the object was a triangle with no wings, no tail, was dark grey with no lights. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Michigan - Reddish-Orange Lights
NAPOLEON – The observer took one minute of videotape of this object on June 22, 2004, at 10:13 PM, that consisted of two reddish-orange lights, one of which was pulsing slowly. Both lights maintained their position (one in front of the other) as they moved east to west. If these were somehow wingtip lights of a conventional craft, then this aircraft was flying sideways! No sound at all. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Kentucky - White Cylinder
OWENSBORO -- On Saturday afternoon, June 19th, 2004 at about 6:40 PM, a pilot for 20 years was walking his dog and looking for air traffic, but there was none. This was a little surprising because there is a VOR navigation beacon at our local airport where high altitude traffic makes a turn as evidenced by the turning of the contrails. The Sun was about 20 degrees above the horizon and to my back. The observer states, “I looked overhead and spotted a white cylindrical object headed southeast at a moderate speed.” When first spotted it was about 1/2" long at arms' length and was like an airplane fuselage with no wings. The white object was flying horizontally with a dark band toward the rear and a possible appendage on the rear. It did not reflect the setting sun. There was no evidence of any type of conventional propulsion, nor were there FAA navigation lights or strobes visible. It did not deviate in altitude, speed, or heading as it went out of sight. Total sighting time was about two minutes. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Tennessee - Tri-Lobed Silver Object
BLOUNTVILLE – MUFON's Kim Shaffer reports that a highly reliable and credible witness was traveling north on Interstate 81, on June 18, 2004, at 5:30 PM, when the radio faded out. He noticed a silver object coming parallel to 81 going north. It was traveling at around 75 mph, when it passed him and came across the highway and out of sight before he could stop. The witness states, "I grabbed my camera and started taking pictures as I was driving and took several pictures. When I got home I down loaded them and found one frame out of 9 that had silver orbed shaped objects that were connected." Thanks to State Director of MUFON for Tennessee shaffer@earthlink.net
Illinois – Disk
ELK GROVE – The observer was driving to work and saw a disk floating back and forth on June 18, 2004, at 11:30 AM. It was a saucer shaped object floating back and forth in the sky, that had a silver or gray color. He states, "I almost drove my car into the ditch before pulling over, and grabbed my camera and took a picture of the disk." You can tell the shape from the photo, its twelve hours later and I still have goose bumps." Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Missouri - Disk
KANSAS CITY – A public employee was driving home from work early in the morning, when a silver object hovering and turning in a circular motion caught his attention at 7:15 PM, on June 19, 2004. He states, “As I drove closer I could see clearly it was saucer in shape, silver in color. It was about two hundred yards to the northwest and only 200 feet in altitude. I saw it for about two minutes, and than it just completely vanished with no trace!" Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Louisiana - Metallic Sphere
MANY -- Driving down Highway 171, North, a father and son saw an object that was very bright, at 5:20 PM, on June 18, 2004. It had a "tail" of smoke or steam, but not like a jet. It followed it like it was attached. The sphere appeared to be on fire and when the sun hit it, it was VERY bright, like metal. We watched it for several miles and then it disappeared behind the clouds traveling downward. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Texas - White-Green Disc
KINGWOOD – A white-green light hovering above the horizon was observed far away at 3:23 PM, on June 19, 2004. The object had a disc shape and moved slowly and then hovered, and finally in a burst of speed flew north. Two friend observed the disc. The witness stated, "I have never seen any flying object accelerate so perfectly and effortlessly." No sound was heard. "This object was definitely not civilian/military." Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Arizona - Lights
PHOENIX -- Since April, my wife and I have seen white lights or orbs in the night sky. Appearing, hovering, moving and disappearing as if lighting up and fizzing out. All of this is on video. They show up right before your eyes coming from all directions. These lights show up at any time. I have video from 9 PM to 5 AM on almost any given night because our new puppy wakes me up each night. I take videos of brightly lit objects traveling across the sky. Another object looking exactly like the other one crossed its path. I started video taping and caught a triangular formation, but as they pass by the stars you can see through where you would expect to see a solid piece of the triangular shaped object. So that tells me they are not connected, but just in formation. A week later, I saw a white shaped object slowly moving east and took some photos. The object hovered and drifted southeast. Four hours later, we spotted two similar objects; one wobbled while the other was stationary. One was a bluish and the other one was reddish. Then a third white object came cruising below the other two heading east. It had several egg-shaped objects tied together and it was tumbling in all directions. Today June 27th, 2004, at 1:40 PM, another UFO flew over my house, so I grabbed the video camera and caught it on film. It was spinning and tumbling in all directions and the video reflects that. It was flying straight east and you can see that the object was moving up and down and side to side or just about any direction. Thanks to Brian Vike http://www.hbccufo.com/
BUCKEYE/GILA BEND -- While driving home with my wife on June 14, 2004, at 8:30 PM, we first saw 7 bright and rather large orange/red balls of light south of the Estrealla Mountains in the vicinity of Buckeye or Gila Bend. The objects were rather low in the sky, did not appear to be moving and slowly faded out. At one point it seemed as though there were more than 7 of them in a tight formation. Other people had pulled over to see them too. The lights seemed to be in the approach of Sky Harbor but none of the incoming aircraft seemed affected. http://www.ufocenter.com/
California – UFO Picture
MODESTO -- R. David Anderson reports, "I took this picture on June 23, 2004, about 9:45 PM, using the slowest shutter speed (night setting) on my Nikon 4300 digital camera. I saw an object moving north and took this strange photo that has good resolution showing lots of details. The night before this flashes lit up the entire sky. The UFO is the large object in the photo that looks like two drums connected by some sort of arm. It is a time exposure between 9:30 and 10 PM. It was difficult to find it high in the sky in the camera's viewfinder, so I snapped four shots in the general direction and only one frame captured the UFO. Also, notice that a star is in the left side of the image in order to indicate some perspective of the shot. Thanks to R. David Anderson
Oregon - Orbs
GERBER RESERVOIR -- At 11 PM on June 16, 2004, two friends were sitting around a campfire and saw two pumpkin like orange orbs skimming about 5 mph over the trees. The orbs were parallel to one another. Suddenly one flew in a eastern direction while the other hovered. Moments later the other orb came back and they were sitting side by side. Then they started moving towards us and changed to red and flew directly over our campfire, rotated and became at least four times the size of my van. It changed to a large rectangle shape that had portholes with green, yellow, blue and red lights. And that was just the beginning of the show! Two hours later we were still watching lights through the trees. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Washington -- UFO Filmed
MONTESANO – The observer noticed objects flying across the sky and ran inside to grab his camera on June 18, 2004. A video was taken at 5:04 PM, for 26 seconds of a cigar shaped white object with a Fuji 5000 Digital Camera. There may have been two white objects heading south. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
BREMERTON – Also, on June 18, 2004, a worker was on his way home on the boat playing his guitar and another guy interrupted him and pointed out Air Force #1 flying over. He states, "The president had visited Ft. Lewis and over Bremerton; so I saluted". An hour later, I saw a silver disk crossing over Bremerton at about 100 miles per hour. It was clear and visible and it flew over the water out to Port Orchard and kept going. I pointed it out to a guy just to see his reaction and he said, "Oh it’s something the Navy Yard is doing for Surveillance," I know he’s wrong." Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Washington – Flying Triangle
SEATTLE (UNIVERSITY DISTRICT) – The observer saw a peculiar, lighted triangular craft streak over at 11:15 PM, on June 20, 2004. Peter Davenport spoke to the witness who claimed he had a dramatic sighting of a very anomalous looking object. It immediately captured his attention, not only because of its bizarre appearance, but because the object traversed an arc of 90 degrees of the night sky in two seconds. The flying triangle did not have the normal red and green navigation lights, required on conventional aircraft. The "edges" of the triangle appeared to be "dark," and the center portion appeared to be "empty," or more lightly colored than the periphery. The object was three-quarters the size of the Moon..

Canada – Red Lights and Cylinder
WINDSOR – A pharmacy tech was star-gazing at 12:15 AM, on June 20, 2004, when four translucent balls of red light dashed across the sky from the south, stopped, then made right angled turns to the east. One witness states, "We were starring in the section of the sky where the Northern Cross lies when all of a sudden four balls of red light dashed across the sky in front of us. I saw four lights, my boyfriend saw three -- the fourth was somewhat behind the others and farther up in the sky. The objects were spread across the sky, dashed in front of us, and then slowed down to a stop before they darted off. I started laughing when they came to a stop because all I could think of was "Oh my God, they are flying in "military V" formation!!" http://www.hbccufo.com/
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- The witness was on the roof top garden of his condo on June 27, 2004, at 11:15 PM, looking for shooting stars when he caught a glimpse of a black/grey object in the night sky. It was difficult to see because it had no lights and there was no sound. It was heading south and looked like two airplane wings together without the body. Thanks to Brian Vike
VANCOUVER, B. C. – The witness was driving towards Vancouver Airport around 7:45 PM, on June 22, 2004, when he noticed a slow moving white cigarette-shaped object in the sky. He was on his cell phone talking to a friend and told him he was looking at a UFO. It floated around for about a minute, before it took off towards the west and then disappeared. He states, “I'm positive that this was NOT an airplane, an airplane made a lot of noise while the UFO was silent. This is the first time I've been 100% sure of what I saw. I get Goosebumps every time I tell people what I saw.” http://www.hbccufo.com/
BRAMPTON, ONTARIO -- On June 26, 2004, at 10:50 PM, two objects were sighted that appeared to be burning up in the atmosphere that were most likely meteors. Another object was sighted traveling south which was orange/pinkish in color with contrails behind. A second smaller one appeared almost simultaneously as the first object disappeared and third object appeared as the second disappears. All have contrails.

Ireland -'UFO' Is Spotted
BELFAST -- Paul Dykes reports, "Two men working high up a radio mast in County Monaghan believe they have spied a top-secret inter-planetary craft flying over on June 26, 2004. Miles Johnston, of the Irish UFO Research Centre, and Dublin-based rigger Terry Malone claim the delta-winged craft traversed the sky at ultrasonic speed, taking just a few seconds to reach the horizon. "I am convinced it was a man-made advanced space craft - we had a good long look at it in a clear blue sky," Mr Johnston said. Mr Malone confirmed the object was "absolutely enormous". "It was huge, high, and traveling at some speed," he said. "I've seen B52s going over and you can hear them buzzing, but there was not a sound from this thing. And it was gone in an instant." newsdesk@belfasttelegraph.co.uk
England - Mysterious Airborne Ring
NORTH YORKSHIRE -- On June 1, 2004, a group of office workers while on lunch hour witnessed a strange giant airborne smoke ring above their office 200 miles north of London. The ring exhibited no sound, produced no magnetic effects, and moved very slowly towards the west for about 20 minutes. The ring was black/dark grey in color and deformed. The sky was cloudy with a low cloud ceiling and light drizzle.
Investigator William Puckett reports, "I interviewed two of the witnesses several times via email and this sighting closely parallels other airborne ring shapes that have been sighted." In 1965, a UFO was photographed prior to the appearance of the ring in the Heflin photos. In a Salt Lake City - March, 2001 case, a bright flash was seen prior to the appearance of the smoke ring. The rings have all been of a dark smoky appearance that suggests a combustion process in the air. In the case of the North Yorkshire sighting the witnesses clearly stated that no industry was located in the vicinity of the smoke ring. Where else could it have come from? The witnesses did not see a UFO or any flashes. A few regular aircraft were in the area at the time. Conventional aircraft don't leave rings of smoke. The fact that the ring maintained its shape for 20 minutes is also mysterious. Normally smoke and dust particles will disperse in the atmosphere rather than drift without mixing with the surrounding air. Thanks to William Puckett - UFOs Northwest).
Portugal - Fires Missile At UFO
The Portuguese military fired a ground-to-air missile at the luminous UFO that passed over their country during the early morning hours of Monday, June 7, 2004.
Portuguese ufologist Gregorio Sao Xavier reported that "the cigar-shaped UFO was tracked on radar. It moved in a south-to-north direction. It was reported in the
Portuguese newspapers that 'a target on radar' was found at three separate military bases."
These included "Beja, south of Evora and north of the Algarve region; Montijo, near Lisboa; and Oporto, the second largest city in Portugal. The news was released by a colonel in the Portuguese Army." "That same day, only one report came from a civilian
identifying the trajectory of the unknown object as coming from north to south, and a cigar form was described."
"Some days later, it was reported on Spanish and German TV that an official of the Portuguese Army confirmed that a missile had been launched. What most people saw " was trailing smoke from the missile launched at the UFO. "Visual contact with the object was made at the base in Beja," Gregorio added, "A week later, the photo of a
cigar-shaped object appeared in a popular (Portuguese) magazine. And a few days later, the military officials charged with the investigation of the incident closed the
case, calling it an 'unknown object.'"
One of the most curious aspects of this case was the multiple sightings of a radar-domed AWACS plane, provided by NATO, which was seen flying offshore, just west of Cabo de Sines, 120 kilometers south of Lisboa. (Muito obrigado a Gregorio Sao Xavier por esas informacoes.) Thanks to UFO Roundup.Vol. 9, #26

Australia - Bright Red Sphere
GUMERACHA – A few minutes before midnight, while driving in rain down a long hill, the witness noticed an extremely bright red light with an aura or haze which was emphasized by the rain on June 20, 2004. The light was in the southern sky either hovering or coming directly at him. Behind the light were the much dimmer lights of a township which helped to show the brightness of the light. The sphere remained in the same location for the two minute decent down the hill, where the driver performed a u-turn and drove to the top of the hill again. By then there was no trace or sounds from the red sphere. Thanks to Peter Davenport http://www.ufocenter.com/
New Zealand – Meteor strike.
SOUTH ISLAND – A radio station reports numerous reports of a bright light streaking across the sky around 9.30 on Saturday night. [June 26]. Port FM announcer James Valentine says he has taken dozens of calls describing the dramatic end of a meteor strike in the Mackenzie Country. He says it exploded before it hit the ground, and flames and debris were seen in the sky. James Valentine says a consensus is building around the idea the meteor crashed to earth somewhere near Twizel. Copyright 2003 Newstalk ZB News.

Saturn's Mystery Moon Shows Exposed Water Ice
Cassini imaging data obtained during the spacecraft's close flyby of the Saturnian moon Phoebe on June 11, 2004, indicates there are probably large areas of exposed water ice. Phoebe has puzzled astronomers for more than a century because of its dark surface and retrograde orbit. Despite Phoebe's bumpy, irregular topography, the moon has a fairly round shape. The Cassini spacecraft flew within 1,250 miles of the 133-mile-diameter Phoebe and mission scientists are now concluding that Phoebe is likely a primordial mixture of ice, rock and carbon-containing compounds similar to material seen on Pluto and Neptune's moon Triton.

Water ice is a telltale sign that Phoebe originated somewhere in the solar system beyond the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter; and was formed somewhere in the outer solar system. A deep carbonaceous and rock-rich surface plus carbon dioxide and a simple hydrocarbon have been detected on Phoebe.
Cassini launched in 1997, will go into orbit around Saturn, on June 30 (today) at 10:30 p.m. EDT and spend four years searching for life. What might be some type of space ships have been seen by astronomers in the rings of Saturn.

Hullo.
Elrick, is this your personal topic? If so, please excuse me posting here, but this seemed the most logical place to put this item:
Has anyone heard that "Astronomers have discovered hundreds (that's right, 100's) of new planets throughout the Milky Way Galaxy in the last week"?
Using the Hubble Space Telescope scanning a narrow strip of our Galaxy hundreds of new planets have been detected orbiting distant stars. In one week. This effectively doubles the number of planets known to exist. But all planets previously detected were in the "neighborhood" of our sun. Now, it is clear that the entire Galaxy is full of planets.
This is not surprising, of course. One of the principles of Science is that the basic laws of Physics are Universal. If light or gravity behaves in a certain way here on Earth, it should behave the same way in a Galaxy on the other side of the Universe. If this is not so, we cannot know anything about the Universe at all. Using this principle of universality, it seems obvious that if planets and stars form under particular conditions here in the neighborhood of the sun, they should form in the same way everywhere. So the Galaxy should be just full of planets, undoubtedly a number that is a multiple of how many stars there are. There are over 400,000,000,000 stars in this Galaxy. So how many planets are there? Now the answer seems very clear. There should be many, many billions of planets.
This new discovery seems to confirm that.
So, if there are billions of planets, what are the odds that some of them have life?
Again, the answer seems obvious. The odds are very, very high. But we have yet to find any proof that life exists anywhere at all except on Earth. People are very stubborn and want to believe they are unique in some way, so they refuse to think that there can be life anywhere but here.
That is just misplaced pride. The scientific evidence points clearly to the vast liklihood we are not alone. Once, it pointed to the vast liklihood that the planets of the sun were not unique. Now, that is no longer a liklihood. It is a certainty. What kind of evidence will be necessary before people admit generally that there is most very likely alien life too?
If they find life on Mars, even just primitive microbes, that will show that life can exist somewhere else than the Earth. How stubborn will people be then?
Whoever said we could know anything, anyway? |
