Taiwan Central News Agency reports a white, oval unidentified flying object described as being the size of a basketball was sighted and videotaped by a Chiayi woman in southern Taiwan Sunday. A "UFO specialist" did not rule out the idea that it could have been an object from outer space. The woman, surnamed Wang, reported that she saw the object moving noiselessly and immediately videotaped the scene. Wang reported that the object was tinged with green around the edges and moved up and down, right and left for 20 minutes before flying out of sight. Lu Ying-chung, a professor at Nanhua University and the founder of the Taiwan UFO Association, examined the videotape and refused to rule out the possibility that the object could have come from outer space, saying that no flying vehicle on earth could move so quietly and in such a fashion.

NEW YORK - WINGLESS CRAFT

MANLIUS -- Craig S. reports that on July 3, 2003, at 8:35 PM, on Broadfield Road my cousin and I observed a wingless oval shaped object traveling from east to west for 15 to 20 seconds overhead, before it went behind the area's trees. The angle of observation was from 50 degrees to 85 degrees relative to the horizon. The object was the size of an aspirin tablet held at arm's length. It appeared metallic and was a dark copper color and reflected the setting sun's rays and had gold highlighting. The object emitted no sound or contrail. It flew about the same speed as a commercial jet airliner at a medium high cruising altitude. The night was clear except for a few cirrus cloud wisps, which the object was visually below. At 10:00 PM we observed a white light traveling at very high speed from the south to north, which covered the whole visible sky in approximately five seconds and then disappeared.

PENNSYLVANIA - ELONGATED EGG UFO

DOYLESTOWN -- My name is Dolores Ely and I have always wanted to make your acquaintance. "My husband Bob and I are located in Kennett Square and on Saturday, July 12, 2003, at 9:15 PM, we saw an elongated egg shaped object glowing white in color almost in our back yard." It looked like a shimmering sideways flame. The nose cone front of this object wavered like it was emitting heat. This object was seen in the southern night sky and flew from west to east over southeastern Pennsylvania. Its flight was very fast with a straight path and jerky movements. It made no sound what so ever. It was flying just above treetops and power lines and was large. At arm's length the object was larger than my fist. The sighting was less than five seconds but awe-inspiring. You have permission to use my name. Thanks to: Dolores and Bob Ely

NORTH CAROLINA - US FIGHTER AND DISC IN DOGFIGHT

SYLVA - A, Ph.D., professor of computer science in a university called to explain he had a life changing experience on July 9, at 11:30 AM, when his family observed a disc shaped UFO being chased by an F-14 fighter. The disc looked similar to a garbage can lid, and was only a slightly smaller diameter than the fighter aircraft was long. The professor estimated the diameter or the disc at fifty to sixty feet. He felt our understanding of physics was very wrong after seeing the performance characteristics of this UFO. He stated, "The fighter would dive toward the disc and it would simply move to another spot in the sky. It seemed to jump from place to place, actually it would dissolve from one spot and appear a mile away.

TENNESSEE - GLOWING BLIMP LIKE UFO

ARDMORE - Brian Vike reports that in early June a couple was coming home about 9:00 PM, when they got a glimpse of a very bright light off to the north, not very high up, over the tree tops. It was more of a glowing or illumination! The witness told her husband to look up, but he said it was a plane. She states, "I told him that it was not a plane and since it was moving slow, I was going to follow it, and we did." We took back roads and tried to keep it in site, at one point, we went down a dirt road and it looked like it just hovered above the trees, maybe 1500 feet or so. It was a giant egg shaped object. One thing for sure, it was something I had never seen before.

There was no sound at all, and it was moving very slowly. Not once did it speed up. As it moved out of sight, we had to drive a short distance to be able to see it again, and it was moving southwest. We followed the object from 30 to 45 minutes. As we got into town, where we could see it better, it was moving higher. It was an inch and half to 2 inches in size at arm's length. It never made a sudden movement, and never sped up. It was the color of a fluorescent light, glowing and putting off a lot of light. It was oval shaped, with the egg lying on its side. My husband said it was probably a blimp, but it flew too slow and low.

Later, I was talking to a friend and told her about it, and she remembered she had seen it also. Thanks to Brian Vike, Director HBCC UFO hbccufo@telus.net

COLORADO - STRANGE GRAY LINE PRECEDES PLANE

PUEBLO WEST -- Bill Winkler, Director of UFO Connections of Pueblo writes, "The Duh Light went off yesterday with regard to an observation my wife and I had in February this year. Out here in our beautiful clear skies, we have seen chemtrails for the past four years or so. But on this one afternoon, in a clear cloudless sky, we saw yet another plane way up and we both noted before the nose of the plane, and moving before it as the plane was moving, there was a distinct dark grayish line that was the same width as the fuselage of the plane. This line preceding the plane was about two to three inches long at arm's length. This line held at this constant size, despite the plane moving, which was moving from north to south. We observed this for about two minutes. This phenomena was again observed several days later. Respectfully submitted, Bill Winkler, Director of UFO Connections of Pueblo, Colorado. ufocop@pcisys.net"

NEVADA - DAYLIGHT SAUCER PASSES OVER AT 150 FEET

HENDERSON -- Victoria Liljenquist writes, "I was driving into Henderson, outside Las Vegas on June 21, 2003, when a UFO saucer flew heads on toward me at 5 PM at only 150 feet above me." I was traveling on the freeway at 65 mph, and could not stop to film it, but I am sure many other cars also saw the UFO. Victoria stated, "It was an incredible UFO Saucer, and I could see all the detail on the bottom as it flew over my car." It was in diameter the length of a Semi Truck. I saw it approaching my car 1/2 mile away and as it came closer I realized it, indeed, was a UFO.

As it was approaching in front of my car the song "Return to me" was playing on the radio on the oldie's station in Las Vegas. As it flew over the top of my car, the next song played was "Fly with Me." Great synchronicity! My heart was full with joy and hope. As I retired in my motel that night, I turned on CNN and saw a glimpse end of a sentence on the HEADLINE NEWS bulletin that runs on the bottom of the screen. The last of the sentence said "UFO." It never repeated UFO again on the Headline News so I was not sure what they were referring to. Immediately after that I felt that familiar and wonderful TRANCE FEELING COMING OVER ME...Like I do when it is time to teleport my consciousness on to the ship. I was "out" for 4 hours; and returned at 4 AM. I came back to consciousness to then crawl in bed to sleep. Thanks to Victoria Liljenquist www.victoriaslight.com

HIKO -- Gary Emry writes, "I was riding in the passenger seat of Idaho MUFON Director Ike Bishop's car, on July 8, 2003, on Highway 318, headed for Rachel about 40 miles to the west." About 8:30 PM, I glanced out the window on my right when I saw a flash in the sky. The sun was still above the horizon. I saw a silvery object in the sky about 50 degrees above the horizon. It appeared to be wobbling while it hovered, thus producing the occasional flash of reflection from the sun. It gradually started to drift off to the southwest toward the restricted air space of Area 51. As it drifted, it's relation to the sun changed and it gradually could not be seen. Ike Bishop and I watched this object through binoculars until it was no longer visible. Within a few seconds, a second object appeared in the same area of the sky and followed the same course as the first. We estimated these objects to be approximately 40 feet in diameter. When we originally emerged from the car, there was a large jet followed by a contrail in the same area of the sky, which gave some perspective to the silvery object. Large commercial jets will typically fly at 30-35 thousand feet at around 500 MPH. We could hear the jet engines until even a few seconds after we could no longer see it, about 30 seconds after we could no longer see the second UFO, they were totally silent. The jet was on a straight east to west course, north of the restricted airspace of Area 51. We estimated the speed of the silvery object, when moving at between 50 to 70 MPH.

Rachel - On Wednesday, July 9 at about 9:30, Ike Bishop and I together with two friends met at the Little'aleinn. We drove to the "Mailbox Road" on the famous Extraterrestrial Highway 375, twenty miles west of Rachel and our friends were facing east, while Ike and I were facing west. They started to holler and point to the east. I turned around in time to see a bright, luminous object about ten degrees above the Tikaboo Peak horizon, moving from north to south. I saw it drift for about one-second, then plunge straight down behind Tikaboo Peak. The others observed this object for a total of about five seconds. The object was as bright as the moon and about 50 feet in diameter. It's circular shape was clearly defined and not just a luminous glowing light. Tikaboo Peak is about 11 miles from Mailbox Road.

PUERTO RICO - THREE RUBY-RED LIGHTS

SE COAST -- A former US Infantry officer and 3,000 hour commercial pilot writes, "My wife and I live on the SE coast of Puerto Rico and we are in the habit of sitting on our roof at night looking at the sky, since it's cooler and breezier up there. Three months ago, at about 11 PM, on a clear night, we both became aware, simultaneously, of three ruby-red lights, bright and distinctly visible, like car taillights or red aircraft navigation lights, approaching us from south to north, as we viewed them, in a symmetric V formation, one leading and two trailing. After three seconds of this motion, the three lights diverged, the lead light continuing straight, each of the trailing lights turning 90 degrees away from the original direction of motion. The lights passed more or less overhead as they made this divergence, then they didn't fade away into the distance but simply vanished out of sight in about two seconds, pouf, they're gone. We had the "impression" that they were several thousand feet above sea level, and that the rate of movement must have been much faster than our fastest fighters.

ENGLAND - 84 CONSTABLES REPORT SEEING UFOs

Toby Manhire of the "The Guardian" reports, "If you need convincing the truth is out there, what better authority than the British constabulary? In UFO Magazine (July), Gary Heseltine, detective constable No 1877 of the British transport police, presented the results of a year's work compiling police officers' observations of unidentified flying objects. "The last 12 months have literally flown by," recounted DC Heseltine. But his feet were firmly on the ground as he presented a database bulging with encounters of the first, second and third kind -- a total of 84 incidents, spanning the period from 1950 to 2002, involving more than 200 police officers. "Given that well over half the number of incidents were corroborated by other police officers present at the time, this dispels any notion that all of the 218 officers could have been mistaken or imagining things," said DC Heseltine.

And he was keen to find more members of the flying saucer squad: "I firmly believe that this report is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg -- and I appeal to all officers out there who have had such experiences, past or present, to come forward and contact me, safe in the knowledge that I will protect their identities, if required to do so.

GLASTONBURY -- Lee Newell writes, "A colleague from work went to the Glastonbury Festival on the 28th June 2003, when herself and others noticed four points of red lights slowly glide over the area which is called the Pyramid." The lights came from behind them and the lights were hovering above them while a song was playing before disappearing. This part of England has a very spiritual landscape, Stone circles and Ley lines in a place called Worthy Farm. Thanks to Lee Newell
