SALEM - The witness reported, I was over at friend's house on August 1, 2003, looking for shooting stars at 12:20 PM, and said, "Look at that one, its bright." I was convinced it was a shooting star, until it made a random course change. The object looked about the size of an airplane flying high. However, the lighting was too bright indicating that it was close. It flew from the center of the sky to the horizon in about five seconds, and made a hard turn to the right through a set of clouds flying south towards Marblehead. The object had three lights on the front in a triangle shape, and the lighting was orange. It definitely traveled through the clouds, because the clouds were illuminated as it passed through. It moved way to fast to be a plane. Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC

FLORIDA - DISCS PHOTOGRAPHED IN DAYLIGHT SKY

PALM HARBOR - A couple was taking their daily morning walk on July 25, 2003, at 7:45 AM, when they saw a bright white object high in the sky. The witness states, "We continued to watch as this object did indeed fly along in a controlled, but lumbering flight to the northeast and crossed high above the normal flight paths of some incoming airliners." A jet airliner flew ten thousand feet below the UFO but the object did not seem to be interested in planes. It stopped a short distance from the flight paths and remained stationary for a minute and began to get smaller and smaller until it vanished. Thanks to Peter Davenport

KEY WEST -- A professional photographer called to report a sighting of six peculiar objects in the daytime sky over Key West on July 29, 2003, at 1 PM. The objects appeared to him to be flipping and maneuvering in the sky, giving off different colors, and turning dark or black, during the fifteen 15 minutes he watched. There were five other adult witnesses. The craft were disc-shaped and peculiar in appearance. They were illuminated with a strange color. The witness took several photos of the objects, and stated that he would forward them. He reported the sighting to the local newspaper, the Key West Citizen. Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC

TENNESSEE - VIDEOTAPED DISC SHAPED CRAFT IN BROAD DAYLIGHT

BRISTOL - On August 2, 2003, the observer reported, "My son and myself were standing in our driveway talking at 7:45 PM, and we both saw a disc in the northern sky. At first, I thought it was a balloon and called my wife to bring the binoculars. Through the binoculars, the object was flattened; and perfectly disc shaped. It was wobbling and rolling side to side, and up and down. As it flew a little closer to us, the disc reflected the sunlight as it turned. It was positively metallic, smooth, and disc shaped. We watched it for a while, and I ran in and got the camcorder and digital camera. I have about five minutes of absolutely fantastic footage on the tape, but the digital camera failed miserably. The object slowly moved NNW until it was out of sight. I am ex-military (13 years) and proficient in aircraft identification and this one was not in the books! All I can say is I got proof!

INDIANA - SMALL DAYLIGHT SILVER DISC

ZIONSVILLE - The witness was biking to a friend's house around noon on July 27, 2003, and the sky was clear. He states, "I was surprised to see a bright object in the sky, that was not the sun. It was silver and metallic. I watched it, while biking down the sidewalk, and I was constantly looking at it. I went over a bump and when I looked up it was gone. I stopped and looked for it for a couple minutes, but I didn't see it. Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC

MICHIGAN - LONG RECTANGULAR SHAPED OBJECT

LANSING -- A sincere and eloquent witness was traveling about 1.5 miles west of downtown Lansing at 1:20 PM, when he saw something traveling southbound over the trees on July 31, 2003. He states, "I would estimate that it was just east of downtown and looked very long and short like a rectangle, but could have been any shape as I was viewing it from the side." Lansing has an airport, but this was unlike any plane. The craft had a rectangular shaped structure, like a triangular framework with steel beams or something. It looked like it was flying on a downward angle, but going away from the airport. It traveled very flat and quickly for its size. The 747's commercial aircraft float along and this UFO was moving 4 or 5 times faster than that. The UFO was flying lower than commercial aircraft and disappeared behind the treeline.

MINNESOTA - TWO SAUCERS KNOCK OUT ELECTRICITY

NEAR THE IOWA BORDER - On August 5, 2003, at 5:08 AM, we woke up and had no water. The circuit breaker was OK, so it had to be something going on in the well house. I left the house at 5:00 AM, driving west on a gravel road lined with cornfields in heavy rain. The cloud ceiling was about 9,000 feet, with a temperature of 62 degrees. As I rounded a curve I saw two red lights in between a band of white light. I got a little closer to these lights and decided to turn on my high beams to see better. Immediately, the white light in between the two red lights went off, and the two red lights started to move at a faster speed over the next hill. I could make out two red lights at about 25 feet altitude moving west parallel to the road! This placed the lights ten feet above the electric wires. I saw an occasional beam of white light come from the craft directed at farmhouses as it passed. The red lights then went over the hill and I sped up to see and one of the red lights zoom off to the west. The other red light now 65 feet high stopped dead.

The red light then turned on three banks of white and red lights with six lights in the top row, eight lights in the middle row and six lights in the bottom row. The UFO was above a farmhouse and moved 300 feet to the north and stopped. The object turned a pale shade of lime and I could make out the distinct shape of a black saucer with some sort of "stem." The saucer turned on a multitude of lights with lime green beams that lit up the grove of the farmhouse. You could see the black of night in between the shafts and it lit up the whole grove. I parked and watched this display 1/8 of a mile away from it. To the west, I saw the night sky light up from saucer #2. I watched for a couple of minutes, and a few other cars slowed down, but did not stop. I then turned south and headed for work with saucer #1 still blazing light lime green while saucer #2 was throbbing with orange light.

Later, I left work to get parts to fix the well. The passing saucers, who could have been pinching electricity, probably fried the solid state-switching unit in my well. When I came back, my wife said, "She had heard a noise similar to a gunshot and the electricity had gone out." The local electrical provider came out and found a problem with a transformer and had to replace a section of underground cable on the road where I saw the two saucers. E-mail report.

NEBRASKA - THREE OBJECTS WITH RED GLOW

DAKOTA CITY -- A student from the University of Nebraska at Omaha writes, "I'm home for the summer, and when I got home from work on July 23, 2003, five minutes after midnight, I saw three red objects in the sky." They had kind of a red glow and they seemed to be moving in a coordinated pattern, like they were looking for something. They made no noise, and were flying pretty low to the ground. They were too far away to discern what the shapes of the objects were, but they were moving pretty fast. All three were kind of zigzagging as they flew along. Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC

COLORADO - DAYLIGHT WHITE DISC FLYING OVER SOUTH METRO AREA

DENVER - The eye-witness claims, "Seeing UFOs from my office window happens frequently and at 12:20 PM, on August 4, 2003, I was phoning a client, when above a bank of clouds comes a bright white, flattened oval." It was a disk shaped object flying in a path that would bring it directly overhead. The object was 1/8th of an inch wide at arm's length flying at altitude of about 12,500 feet, with a speed of 250 MPH. It was elongated to the left and right sides with no fuselage. I watched it for a few seconds to try and determine what it was, and asked my client if I could call her back. Outside a few seconds later, I never caught sight of it again in the blue-sky, so I was surprised and disappointed, when I couldn't find it. Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC

CALIFORNIA - DAYLIGHT SILVER OVAL WITH DOME ON TOP

GLENDORA - The witness saw a hovering, tilted, silvery oval with a dome on top on July 30, 2003, at 12: 50 PM. The witness was heading south on Grand Avenue shortly before 1 PM, and saw a hovering silvery oval-shaped object tilted in midair. The observer states, "It was tilted from left to right and had a series of rings on the object with a dome-like structure on top. Suddenly, it kind of pitched and shot off to the west and was gone! The whole episode lasted a couple seconds. Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC

CANADA - UFO LIGHTS CONTINUE

STRATFORD, ONTARIO -- Brian Vike reports, "On the evening of August 4, 2003, two friends were sitting in the hot tub around 10:30 PM, and saw a slow moving light headed east." The eye-witness states, "Then I noticed an airplane coming in fast approaching the light as if it were giving chase; it flew a big curve in its flight path to catch up and come up behind the light." It looked as though he passed to the left side of the light slowing down just before passing. Then the two disappeared beyond my sight due to the house. I'm not a huge believer in UFO's, but maybe this was one? My friend in the hot tub also saw it.

HOPE, BC - On July 24, 2003 - A couple out driving the Coquihalla Highway near the toll gates saw something strange, and pulled their truck over to watch a red colored object just below the top of the mountain. They said, "It moved from side to side at a quick rate of speed and covered a large area while moving, then shot up at an incredible speed and disappeared."

TELKWA, BC --- On August 2, 2003 - A father and daughter called to tell Brian Vike that they were watching an object that was falling from the sky at 1 AM, which was orange in color and looked as if it was on fire. They claim that at a couple of points in the event the object came to a complete stop, then continued on it's way. They have taken photos of this while it was sitting stationary in the sky.

CARIBBEAN SEA - FLYING TRIANGLE OVER CRUISE SHIP

COZUMEL -- Witnesses aboard the Carnival cruise ship "Sensation" traveling from Tampa to Cozemel saw three lights in a triangular shape that hovered then rapidly moved away on August 1, 2002. The witness states, "On the second night of the cruise, my friend and I were on the deck at 12:30 AM, and he said, I just saw a shooting star, without tail." I didn't think too much of it because it was very clear that night. About five minutes later, I looked up and saw three white lights to the south that formed a flying triangle, but it was difficult to tell how far away it was. They stayed stationary for a few seconds then moved rapidly to the east and flew out of sight. I never saw anything like this. (( NUFORC Note: We spoke with this witness, and he sounded quite lucid to us. He actually reports here two separate events. PD))

UK/ENGLAND - SPHERE SEEN WHILE SUNBATHING

LONDON - The witness was sunbathing in Crystal Park on August 3, 2003, at 4:45 PM, and was enjoying the hot weather, and watching planes flying overhead. He states, "I could see clearly see a large shiny silver ball flying above us." The object seemed to shake every now and then, but hovered at the same altitude for about ten minutes. A large jumbo jet started flying towards it, and the ball started moving up apparently to get out of the way. The plane passed and I watched as the ball continued upwards. The sky was blue with a few wispy clouds. As the ball passed through one of the clouds the cloud lit up for a split second, as if there was a lightening storm within, although it was clearly not a storm cloud. The ball became faint and was like a small star in the bright blue sky. Thanks to Peter Davenport

PRESCOT -- The sighting took place at 23:40 hours on August 2, 2003, from Paul Hobbs' back yard five miles east of Liverpool. The object was dark gray or a black triangle with 4 or 5 dull white lights along the leading edges, but no lights on the trailing edge. Paul estimates the object was the size of a 737 airliner flying at 1000 to 1500 feet. Paul saw the craft in the clear evening sky directly above him and within eight seconds it flew behind a neighbor's tree. The craft was flying from the northwest to southeast and was totally silent. Five minutes after the sighting he saw two the wings and tails of white doves flying in the opposite direction, which he had never seen before at night. He insists that the UFO was not birds, because the formation of lights was perfectly fixed with no deviation in the formation. This case is now under investigation by the Mereseyside Anomalies Research Association www.mara.org.uk and Bill Bimson billbimson1@yahoo.co.uk

PORTUGAL - FLUORESCENT GREEN TRIANGLE

ALCOCHETE - The witness states, "As I was going to work passing the Vasco da Gama Bridge at 11:35 PM, I noted a fluorescent green triangle flying upside-down (base up) with a red light in its left top corner on July 29, 2003." I was surprised and kept driving. As it flew along suddenly another red light was lighted in the right corner. I had a clear view of the flying triangle and the two lights. Suddenly it gained altitude and disappeared. From the beginning the object was moving very slow for a diagonal trajectory, and both its lights were red, while aircraft have a green light.

POLAND - RED LIGHTS CHANGE TO YELLOW

LÓD -- At about 10:50 PM, on July 27, 2003, my sister saw a strange red light flying southwest lower than the stars. It was slower than planes and frequently hovered and then disappeared. It then became visible as a very weak yellow light, that then changed to a very strong yellow circle of light. After an hour of watching, I called my friend who saw the same light from his location.

Suddenly near the light there was a very fast yellow circle of light similar to a comet that turned over three times. We then saw two smaller red lights moving very fast around themselves in a figure '8' pattern. We observed these maneuvering objects for about five hours and these lights were too bright, and flying too slow to be a plane. (( NUFORC Note: We are uncertain about the town in Poland in which the alleged sighting occurred. Several characters in Polish did not translate to English well, so we assume the city in which the sighting occurred was "Lod," Poland. PD))

TURKEY - TEENAGERS SEE FOUR UFOs

ANKARA - Sirius reports that on August 6, 2003, Lila a 16-year-old saw UFO's and was so affected by what she saw, that she slept with her mother. She was afraid the UFOs would come and get her. The mother relates, "As I was working at my pc, the door-bell repeatedly rang and my daughter was yelling for me to rush to the window to see a UFO. She was outside on Alaçam Street with her friends at 10:30 PM, and they had spotted a round object reflecting yellow, red, blue and green lights. It was first seen as an approaching bright white light and hovered and changed into multi-colors and started turning or revolving around itself. It then took off towards Atakule at the speed of a jet. All the children were hysterical and confirmed the sighting. A few minutes later, the kids shouted, "They had seen another UFO, that was white and heading east the same as the first one. After some minutes my door-bell rang again, I rushed to the window and my daughter Lila said "I saw what looked like a star, but it appeared from nowhere and headed north towards Ulus moving slowly. All the children were telling passersby what they had seen and seemed ecstatic by the sightings.

I went to join the children, and they were shouting they had seen another UFO, that was constantly flashing its lights as it flew. Its lights went out all of a sudden and the UFO disappeared. I sat with them for an hour and no UFO came back. My daughter Lila can tell the difference between planes, jets etc… she has first seen a UFO in daylight a few years back at Petkim, with her brother and others. Thanks to Piril in Ankara
