Alaska luminous UFO sighted

NENANA -- As 37-year-old John Kempen traveled the Parks Highway at about 2 AM, Saturday, April 23, 2005, he watched the sky, hoping to point out the northern lights to his girlfriend. Kempen saw a blur of emerald green, then a bright flash of bluish white light with sparks for a tail and fiery 'chunks breaking off. Kempen figured the object was a meteor. According to Neal Brown, director of the space grant program at the University of Alaska's Fairbanks Geophysical Institute, Kempen probably saw a piece of space junk. An estimated 5,000 to 10,000 pieces of useless debris orbit the Earth." Brown said. "Meteors don't have any blue or green or any colors,' he said, 'Most of the meteors are just rocks." "Secondly, the sighting was in the wrong part of the sky to be a Lyrid meteor, which would likely travel from northeast to southwest."

Arizona - Light

PHOENIX – A fast flying "light/ball" flying over southern Arizona about 9 PM, on April 14, 2005, that lasted about four seconds or more then moved out of my line of sight. I’ve seen meteor showers and have seen many shooting stars in my 29 years. I accepted it as a "strange shooting star" phenomena. Then at 11:49 on the same night, a fast flying dimly lit light, faster than all the planes I see constantly, moved for about 7+ seconds from a north to south east position then disappeared. It didn't burn out, it just was gone. I noticed the same sort of "light/ball" a few days prior. I saw the same sort of "light" fly into the Columbia River in Washington a few years prior. It had no impact or slash. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director, www.ufocenter.com SCOTTSDALE – John reports, “I was standing outside of my friend’s house on the evening of April 14th at 9:30 PM, facing due North, near Highway I-101 when I saw a huge green fire ball that lit up the whole sky around itself and continued burning all the way down to the ground. It was as large as my thumb nail (at arm’s length). I'm a little fuzzy on the distance from me but it looked as if it may have gone down in the Lake Pleasant. There was no noise so maybe it landed in the Lake! Thanks to Thanks, John

California flying triangle

HAYWARD -- It was 10 PM, on April 14, 2005, my wife was outside smoking a cigarette. I was looking at Jupiter when I saw five glowing circles that were underneath a triangle shaped object fly across Jupiter traveling north. The glows were not lights like on an airplane but circle shapes that glowed real dim. Two were in front and two on either side. The glowing circles were in a chevron shape, but the whole craft was a triangle. It had no sound and flew across the sky in about 20 seconds, at least three times faster than an airplane. My wife is a computer programmer and I an animator; we are both intelligent well-educated people. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director, www.ufocenter.com

Colorado – UFO photo

MT. ANTERO -- Alfred Ballesteros has sent me the negatives of his trip to Colorado and Baldwin Creek. The photo shows a long and thin shaped flying object. The high speed of the craft may cause the elongation of the UFO that appears to be very long. The object appears to be part of the photo. Notice the object has perfectly symmetrical elements and is divided from its center, moving outward to its edges. Alfred writes, “My son, Chris and my grandson Jovon and I were on our way to Mt. Antero by Buena Vista when we stopped to take a picture by Baldwin Creek. This picture was taken on July 22, 2004, our third annual trip to a mountain for Jovon's 10th birthday. We didn't hear a thing and it wasn't noticed when the picture was taken. When I got home and developed the pictures, I noticed the UFO. There is no apparent wire or string relative to the angle of the object. Just like its appearance in other photos from around the world, it simply floats there defying explanation. The sequence of vacation photos provided are completely normal in every respect. Another frame, presently being examined, may contain a more distant UFO that appears more complex in shape and not just a slender tube. Thanks to Alfred Ballesteros and family.

Florida pulsing red lights

LEHIGH ACRES – The witness looked up to see a airplane that was not on a normal flight path and did not sound like a standard airplane that flies in and out of any of the local airports on April 13, 2005, at 12:30 AM. The witness states, “I spotted a dark orange, possibly red set of lights running almost perpendicular to the airplane. It started out looking like a meteorite but then began to flash in a pulsing fashion as it moved to the north. It seemed to go out completely a few times allowing a non-illuminated object to be seen, barely visible but still there. Both the plane and the object were unusual since they were flying higher than the normal traffic. The object itself would normally have been considered a standard large meteorite except for the fact that I've never seen one fall to the north in this area and I've never seen one glow and pulse like this.

Maine dark bird like UFO

BRUNSWICK – The Nanny writes, “On May 3, 2005, about 10:45 AM, at the Golf driving range...near BNA, my attention was drawn to large circling hawk type birds, when suddenly I saw 'another dark bird ' higher up that flew from southwest to northeast.” I realized it was a silent and dark-gray non-reflective type of 'vehicle' moving quickly high up but below the cloud base.” It made no sound. The craft had definite solidity and an oval shape, without wings nor tail. And it made, no 'contrails'. It was NOT a helicopter, Cessna, or airliner of any sort. The next day on May 4, 2005, at 1 PM, I saw another questionable, yet similar, object moving in same SW-NE direction. Thanks to The Nanny

New Jersey couple spot UFO

WEST MILFORD – An executive phoned to tell me, he was in his bedroom watching TV with his wife on May 7, 2005, at 11:30 PM, and she noticed a pulsating star with changing colors through the skylight above them. She insisted this was not an ordinary star, so they decided to look at it through a modified telescope. Looking through the eyepiece, the object consisted of two squares off center with bright changing lights in each point of each corner of the object. The eight brighter lights had lines connecting the two squares. Some smaller lights were inside the squares. The object seemed to consist of two square objects tethered together. The wife is from Russia and phoned her father who is former general in Soviet Air Defense. He stated matter of factually, “They had seen a UFO.” He was instructed in school about disappearance of ships and the UFO phenomenon. They were frequently chased by Soviet fighters.

South Dakota-Anomalous lights seen

April 10-We were coming back from my grandmothers funeral and then we went to devils tower and then we headed home back to north Dakota and when we were approaching rapid city south Dakota there were white and blue lights that appeared to look like a motorcycle light at first then the closer it got to our van it appeared to be white and blue single light and when any other vehicle approached our van the light disappeared or appeared to go back over the hill and could not be seen it did this weird behavior for about twenty miles and then it had went to speed up and then appeared to come around the left side of my van and then the white and blue lights separated and one went left and one went right in a straight line and then were gone. It was like someone had turned off a light switch and we never saw these lights until about ten miles up the road it appeared again but in a different form this time it appeared to look like a unidentified aircraft with white and blue lights and stayed into one spot for about 5-6 miles and then just sped up into the air and vanished and never saw it again. this was the most unexplained scary thing I have ever experienced and hope to never hope to see this again.

Virginia UFO crosses airport traffic

Dulles Airport -- On May 03, 2005, at 5:30 AM, the witness who lives in the direct flight path of all aircraft landing at Dulles Airport spotted a strange thing in the sky going in the opposite direction of planes landing at Dulles. This was definitely not a plane. It really stood out to me and it sort of "glided" across the sky without sound and over an industrial park and remained stationary. There were a lot of lights underneath it, not like your typical airplane which usually has lights on the wing and sides. The whole bottom was lit with red and white lights. I went inside for a moment and came back and it was gone. The strange thing is that although I live in an area where there is a lot of plane activity, this one really stood out to me.

Cyprus UFO spotted

NICOSIA-LARNACA HIGHWAY -- A British resident reported seeing a UFO on April 27, 2005, when several other motorists all slowed down their vehicles to watch the UFO spectacle at around 8:45 PM. It was in front of me and as soon as saw it, I started slowing down and so did the people in front of me. "Then, it speeded up at an incredible speed, hundreds of miles an hour in seconds and literally disappeared in front of our eyes,” the man said. “It was amazing.” It looked like the kind of height of a low-flying plane or a helicopter. That’s why I didn't immediately think it was odd and then as it started to move and speed up I thought, ‘This is weird’. It was a bright, white sphere of light hovering slowly,” The man said he checked online yesterday morning and found that UFO sightings were not all that uncommon in Cyprus. It was not the kind of thing you could miss. It was incredible,” he added. One Civil Aviation official said, “The radar does regularly register what seem to be aircraft but which disappear after three revolutions of the radar." “We call them Angels,” said the official adding that they generally put these ‘phantoms’ down to weather interference. “Of course we are angels here ourselves,” he said. UFOs have been spotted over Cyprus on many occasions in the past. In March 2002, a Swiss playwright who had just retired to Paphos, said he spotted a silver, saucer-shaped object 'emerging from the clouds' as he walked along the beach. The UFO apparently hovered before 'floating down' and disappearing behind some rocks." Snip Thanks to Cyprus Mail 2005 copyright © and Skywatch-International http://www.skywatch-international.org/
