Extraordinary UFO Film Taken In UNITED KINGDOM
The following sighting report with video was sent exclusively to the UFO Casebook, USA. The information was shared with UFO Casebook Field Investigator Michael, who resides in the United Kingdom.

The video files that are shown here were taken in Leyland, Lancashire, U. K. The film was made between 16:15 and 17:05 hours on 16 Nov 2003. The videographer Martin H. has sent very impressive film before to the UFO Casebook. Our field investigator has found him to be an honest and sincere man who is not in any way or form attemptimg to perpetuate a hoax or initiate a joke. He has never asked for any monies for his film, but has sent digital video files through the internet, and also hand given physical video tape for free use for study. The video film in its entirety is 8:13 long; is in the Windows Media format (.wmv) and is 25.15 megabytes. A sample clip of film is enclosed for your study. Below is Martin's description of how the taking of the video film in question transpired.

I decided to have a look at the early evening sky, camcorder at ready just in case. At about 16:15, I first spotted the unknown object quite a way off in the distance (through binoculars and spotting scope). It took me around 20 minutes before I could zoom in with the camcorder to start filming. The sky was quite clear with just a few wispy clouds here and there. The distance is quite difficult to judge but I would say that the object is possibly around 10 to 15 miles away. I was on my own this time with no other witnesses and with the distance involved, I couldn't hear any sound emanating from the object. All in all, I managed to film around 20 or so minutes before the object disappeared behind a cloud in the distance. The object went behind the cloud at around 17:05.

Unusual Shaped UFO Photographed in New Hampshire

November 6, 2003 - On the 25th of October in Plymouth, New Hampshire, Joy P. was in the middle of a train trip. While observing the landscape, she decided to take photographs of the passing scenery. One of her pictures of red deer in a forest would show a strange, flying craft of a trianglar shape.

According to the Joy's statement on the North American website Coast to Coast, when making the series of photographies, she never observed anything out of the ordinary while taking the landscape pictures. The lens of camera was checked out and cleaned before taking the photos, and any possibility that a reflection from a window pane was involved was dismissed since the unknown object appeared in only one photo. None of the other passengers on the train had seen anything unusual during the trip.

Central Minnesota Glowing Oval UFO Photo

Letter to Brian Vike:

I am not sure if you can think back, but I have been receiving a number of reports and pictures of some strange objects around the same area in which this photo comes from. I also have heard of a few other reports coming in also, same area. Although this is a short report, the picture is of interest.

West Central Minnesota Date: Saturday, November 8, 2003 Time: 5:30 p.m. Object was oval in shape. Coming from the east and horizontal. As it gets very close it turns to a vertical position and emits a red glow. Remains Îsidewaysâ for a few seconds then simply blinks off. Just disappeared. The moon was rising to the southeast of vantage point, air was surreal and it was quiet. No other remarks.

UFO Crash Investigation Lands Researcher in Jail

UFO CRASH AT SOUTHAVEN PARK, 1992

NEWSPAPER; SOUTH SHORE PRESS

ISSUE; Vol X, No. 7

DATE; Tuesday, May 25, 1993

A local investigative group that has been researching accounts of unidentified objects on Long Island for the past five years released a report (with photos and a video tape) yeaterday that claims an alien space craft crashed into a remote area of Southaven Park in Shirley just before Thanksgiving last year. The incident happened just after 7:00 P.M. on the night of November 24, according to John Ford, chairman of the Long Island U.F.O. Network, who said that it has taken his group six months to do a thorough investigation.

It was just recently, though, that his group was able to acquire the video and the photos. "We knew that something crashed into the park that night and we have, bit by bit," said Ford, "been able to finally put the picture together." Several motorists who were traveling along Sunrise Highway that night, according to Ford, contacted his organization and described what they thought was a plane that was going down into the park. And many local residents whose homes border Southaven report that they heard loud rumbling sounds and saw strange lights.

"Eyewitness accounts have confirmed that a fire was reported immediately after," noted Ford. "In addition, the roads around the park were blocked off to travel by county and park police. The next day, and for a few days after, the park was closed to the public."

One local resident who lives near the park said that for a five to six day period after the incident, his house experienced numerous power surges and the phone would ring strangely without anyone on the other end.

"I ride horses in the park so I'm pretty familiar with the activities there," said the 45- year-old man who requested anonymity because of the sensitive nature of his job ("they would fire me if they thought I believed in flying saucers").

"For the next few days there were a lot of military helicopters going over the park --- and I couldn't get in."

Records show that Southaven Park was closed between November 25 and 28. According to park officials, the park was closed to the general public that week because it was reserved for duck hunting. Although some of the area fire departments were initially called, they were turned back and the fire was handled by the federally controlled Brookhaven National Laboratory Fire Department, said Ford. Ford's group finally gained admittance into the park a week later.

"We found an area that was burned out and some trees were bent over," Ford recalled. "A section looked like it had been plowed over by machinery." But two things were of particular interest to Ford. "We were getting a higher than normal radiation reading in the area, higher than regular background radiation, and the fence line in that area," said Ford, "had no magnetic reading."

Ford explained that metal fences maintain a magnetic charge from the Earth.

"Something had stripped away the magnetic charge of the fence."

Last week Ford received what he had been waiting and hoping for: a video film of the crash.

"I can't say where I got it from because these people who supplied the tape are afraid that the government will go after them.

" Because of the poor quality of the tape, Ford has been working with video specialists to try and enhance the quality of the picture and to produce stills. The video, a copy of which was given to South Shore Press, shows people examining a bright reddish, metallic-type object about four-square feet that appears to be emitting a white, cloudy gas, and a hissing sound can be heard --- a sight and sound that resembles dry ice that has been exposed to warmer temperatures.

The next shot shows what appears to be a person trying to lift up a body near a tree, but the poor quality of the film makes positive identification impossible. In a final scene, three uniformed men (wearing dark jackets and rounded caps similar to federal swat teams) are seen placing a large shiny spread (similar to mylar) over something on the ground. Ford makes no apologies for the poor quality of the video:

"Things are happening fast and the guy who took the shots doesn't want to be too obvious." And he confesses that it is hard to get people to come forward and admit what they've seen.

"One of the major problems in researching UFOs is that people are afraid of sounding like lunatics when describing strange, unexplained events."

But an even greater fear, notes Ford, is the government.

"You get involved with things that the government doesn't want people to know and they can make life pretty tough for you."

What are Ford's conclusions about the Southaven incident? "We are still very actively investigating this event. We believe that an extraterrestrial craft, with aliens, crashed that night in the park --- and we are out to prove it."

The Long Island U.F.O. Network has a 24-hour hotline number (286-3212) to which Ford encourages people to call if they have any information on the (Southaven) incident or any other (unexplainable) phenomenon.

Skeptics UFO Newsletter -7- Jan. 1998

UFO Group Leader, Accused Of Plan To Kill Local Government Officials, Sent To Mental Institution After His Two Partners Plead Guilty.

John Ford, the 49-year-old founder of the Long Island (N.Y.) UFO Network (LIUFON), who in mid-1996 was charged with plotting to kill several local government officials because he believed they were covering up three crashed-saucer incidents on Long Island, has been found to be "delusional" and has been sent to a New York state psychiatric center. If/when Ford is judged competent to stand trial, he faces the prospect of a 25-75 year jail term. Two of Ford's partners in the plot to poison Suffolk county officials by inserting radium into their food and toothpaste earlier pleaded guilty to participating in the plan. Joseph Mazzuchelli was sentenced to 3-9 years. Edward Zabo, a Defense Dept. employee who obtained the radium, is slated to be sentenced in early March [SUN #40/July 1996]. The evidence included a tape recording of Ford and associates discussing their plan which was covertly recorded by a person who had been asked to participate but who instead gave the tape to law enforcement officials.

Ford claimed that in 1989, the U.S. had forced down and recovered an ET craft near Moriches Bay, L.I., that in 1992 an alien craft had crashed in Southaven Park, and that a third had crashed later near the Pine Barrens area. He publicly accused local government officials of collaborating with the federal government to cover up the incidents.

In an article in the November 1996 issue of the MUFON UFO Journal, Ms. Elaine Douglas charged that Ford was the "first UFO investigator to be seriously persecuted by the authorities." (Douglas is MUFON's state director for the District of Columbia and co-director of "Operation Right To Know." The latter, which periodically stages public demonstrations, describes itself as "the only UFO organization with guts." It has scheduled a march on the White House to "End UFO Secrecy" for July 5, 1999.) In her MUFON article, Douglas announced the formation of the John Ford Defense Committee and sought contributions. SUN eagerly awaits the reactions of Douglas and MUFON to recent events.

Some of Ford's own comments, contained in a 102-page handwritten "Statement to the Media," were quoted in a lengthy feature article recently published in the Jan. 11 issue of The Washington Post. Ford claims he had been a CIA agent for the last 30 years, but was not paid so there would be no record of his employment in the agency's files. Further, that Mazzuchelli was an officer of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency. Another Ford claim is that the AIDS and Ebola viruses were brought by ETs to kill off peoples of sub-Sahara Africa. In a letter to LIUFON vice president Steve Iavarone, Ford predicted that after a few months at the Mid-Hudson Psychiatric Center he would return and that all charges against him would be dropped. Ford concluded his letter with UFOlogy's popular slogan: "THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE...."

In June 1996 Ford was arrested on charges of conspiracy to murder local Republican officials John Powell, Fred Towle and Anthony Gazzola by doctoring their toothpaste and their cars with radium. Ford was right about his phone being tapped - the main evidence against him was a taped phone call to a police informant. People who have heard the recording say that Ford and the informant discuss the radium poisoning scheme and then laugh heartily as if it were a joke. Arrested with Ford was Joseph Mazzachelli, and the next day a third suspect, Edward Zabo, was arrested in Medford, New York. Zabo was an electrical inspector at military contractor Northrop Grumman. The three men were all members of the Long Island UFO Network. The group has accused the government of covering up sightings of extraterrestrials. Zabo, a former Defense Department employee, had provided the radium, and Ford was supposed to plant it.

The intended victims of the plot could not say why the three wanted to kill them. Mazzachelli was a convicted burglar, and Zabo had been arrested twice for driving while intoxicated and may have had some tax troubles. In the raid on Ford's home in Bellport, police seized dozens of weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition. Friends said Ford was a gun collector. Police also found what they and the media described as "militia" literature. However, actual militia ties are dubious.

In 1997, a Suffolk County Court judge ordered that Ford be sent to an upstate New York mental hospital, where he remains today. Three psychiatrists and a psychologist, two hired by District Attorney James M. Catterson Jr.'s office, examined Ford and all four concluded that he was not competent to stand trial. Robert H. Berger, director of Forensic Psychiatry at Bellevue Hospital Center, said that while Ford seemed to understand his legal predicament, he thought the criminal case against him was in reality an intelligence operation being run by the CIA together with the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad.

Responding to an article about himself in Saucer Smear, Ford wrote:

My case is a frame-up and a smear tactic to destroy my UFO organization and to neutralize my effectiveness.

The main reason I'm sitting here is due to the fact that I had information indicating that the 1995 East End Forest Fires had been deliberately set to cover up the crash of a large disc near Suffolk Community College, south of Riverhead (Long Island). The County was asked to set fires near the crash site, to keep people out of the area; but dirty politics being the case, the Republican leadership, in an effort to gain control of Pine Barrens properties, set Forest Fires South of Sunrise Highway in populated areas near the coveted land. I was able to document some of this. While doing so, I was targeted for elimination by the politicians. I had several attempts on my life fail, due to the intervention of Israeli intelligence, which protected me for some 3 1/2 months.

Yes, it's true what I said. There is a heavy intelligence presence involved in my case. The man to talk to about it all is Preston Nichols. ... He can give you a briefing on the various aspects of the case ...

Preston Nichols, also a LIUFON member, is the same Preston Nichols of Montauk Project fame.

What happened here? Was Ford getting too close to something he shouldn't have, or had he been delusional for years?

Did you know that...?

Former Air Force Maj. George Filer III told reporters that when he was at McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey, an alien craft came down, and an alien got out and was shot by a military policeman.

"Our security police went out there and found him at the end of the runway dead," Filer said. "They asked me to brief the general staff," he said, but was later told not to. He said he would tell the story in front of Congress.

Filer is not new to UFO sightings. He has his own Web site called Filer's Files, where he says he also chased an alien ship over England when flying for the U.S. Air Force. "I personally have observed a UFO both visually and on radar. I've been chasing them ever since," he writes.

ABC NEWS Katelynn Raymer in Washington and David Ruppe in New York contributed to this report.

He was director of Lindheimer Astronomical Research Center at Northwestern University; chairman of Astronomy department.

Also, he served as Civilian scientific consultant to the U.S. Air Force (1948/49-1969) i.e. 20 years. He began as a debunker of UFO sightings, however he discovered there was what he felt were a significant percentage of these reports which he could not explain. He became convinced they deserved further study by the scientific community.

In 1973 Hynek formed the "Center for U.F.O. Studies" (CUFOS), an organization dedicated to the scientific study of this elusive but persistent phenomenon. He was the first legitimate scientist to head a major group of this type.

The Boys in Blue; Little Green Men

Ello 'ello 'ello, what's goin' on 'ere then? There seem to be rather a lot of spaceships hovering in the West's night skies. More than 200 police officers have come forward to say they have seen UFOs flying over the British countryside, a detective revealed yesterday. And according to the bobbies' X-files experiences, for the past 50 years the West has been a buzzing hotspot for extra-terrestrial activity.

One of the first recorded incidents out of the 84 recorded on the Prufos (Police Reporting UFO Sightings) website, comes from 1963 when PC Anthony Penny, on duty and wearing his uniform, saw an orange shape zoom over the sky and disappear into a field. A few days later, when a large crater was found in the meadow, a bomb disposal team was sent to investigate, and the incident was even mentioned in Parliament.

Craft to Land on Mars on Christmas Day

LONDON (AP) - A British-built craft designed to scour the surface of Mars for signs of life is scheduled to land on the planet on Christmas Day, scientists said Tuesday. The Beagle 2 lander is traveling aboard the European Space Agency's Mars Express craft, launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on June 2. Scientists told journalists at a briefing Tuesday that the unmanned spacecraft was about 13 million miles from Mars and expected to reach the planet in mid-December.

On Dec. 19, the craft will eject the Beagle 2 landing module - a 132-pound shell shaped like an oversized wok and packed with scientific instruments. If all goes to plan, it will parachute to the surface on Dec. 25, flip open and begin conducting experiments.

Breaking UFO Reports, (last update, 11-19-03)

Virginia - Three Flashing Objects Fly into Space During Eclipse
CHARLOTTESVILLE – The onlooker was watching the Lunar Eclipse when a low flying plane caught his attention, and then a shooting star that slowed down almost to a stop. He states, “It was kind of flashing red and blue then it stopped; I have never seen anything do that before.” I was joined by three people when I pointed. We could see flashing red and blue lights that looked as a star. Two other flashing lights were stationary to the right of the first object. They flashed differently at first, then just like the first object they flashed blue and red. Then all three moved in a weird zigzag pattern sort of like a Z or S and shot up in space till we couldn’t see them anymore. I know this was no plane or star. I can’t explain what they were. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter

Georgia – Loud Sounds and Flashing Lights
MOULTRIE – On November 8, 2003, at 10 PM, the witness heard the dogs in the neighborhood going crazy so he slipped on pants to check on his dogs. Outside he heard a noise like a big airplane passing over or a big truck driving by. He then noticed about 6 to 8 helicopter type things in the distance. The flying objects had blue and red flashing lights and appeared to be helicopters, but they were too high to be heard. The flashing lights could be seen well enough to tell it was a light in the front and one in the back. Apparently, the big noisemaker had stopped or landed. He went into the house to get his girlfriend’s opinion and we both came back to look. Two of the flashing light objects were going towards the noise and the rest were hovering like helicopters. (Just, but still together). Thirty seconds later, one of the flashing objects flew towards back towards the main group but this time it was moving much faster than at first. Then, the group started to break up while at least one stayed and just flashed. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter

Florida - Strange Cone-Shaped Beam of Light
Florida - Strange Cone-Shaped Beam of Light PARRISH – The couple were taking their dog for a walk on November 5, 2003, at 8 PM, when they noticed a strange, bright light shining through a section of clouds. The husband made the comment, “Look at the landing lights from a plane reflecting on the clouds.” They waited for the plane to emerge, as the light moved in their direction. It was like watching the light from a flashlight and as the person moves toward you, the cone-shaped beam gets larger and brighter. This beam was getting VERY bright and I kept thinking that the clouds must really be reflecting that light because I've seen planes in cloudy conditions and they've never even remotely resembled this. As the light finally reached the edge of the clouds, it just seemed to melt away leaving only a line of cloud/smoke that continued the same direction of movement. There was no plane, no craft or any evidence that anything was there. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter

Oregon - Witness Claims F-15 Fighters Approach Sphere
SPRINGFIELD -- The witness states, "We were driving when my girlfriend noticed objects in the rearview mirror." They continued over us in front of the windshield view. She was frantic and upset with me not seeing them. So we pulled over into a parking lot, for about one minute and we didn't see anything. It was very cloudy so when they came back in view we could tell that they were very low. They moved very slowly without a sound that we could hear. The one in front was about the size of a plane. The one behind it was massive, about one hundred yards or bigger. It was BIG! There we're no lights visible, both objects were a dark or gray like color. We confirmed with one another that they were not aircraft that we could relate not helicopters, not planes, nor blimps. All I can say we had an eerie feeling and did not know for certain what we had seen. They traveled north at the same slow speed until we couldn’t see them anymore. Thanks to Peter Davenport

Maine - Sphere at the Lunar Eclipse
AUGUSTA – A couple went out side to look at the Lunar Eclipse on November 8, 2003, at 8:17 PM, and noticed something, a Shooting Star. The witness pointed it out to his fiancée, and the object slowed down and then turned and did a figure 8 and proceeded into a circular motion. The flying object was red and then faded to white as it turned left and shot backwards off into the distance. The witness states, “Earlier this month, I was looking outside and noticed a white light in the shape of a circle for five seconds and it immediately stopped glowing and disappeared. I'm a highly intelligent person and I’m telling you this was REAL! Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter

Massachusetts - Multiple Lights Gliding Silently During Lunar Eclipse
BROOKLINE -- During the Lunar Eclipse on November 8, 2003, a hook shaped UFO comprised of about thirty small white lights (as if two sides of a triangle) was spotted by the witness moving silently from the northeast and curving across the sky towards the northwest. It maintained a consistent altitude and speed, and eventually flew away. The lights did not blink or change configuration. Thanks to Peter Davenport

GRAFTON – The observers report, “We were watching the lunar eclipse (with binoculars) when we observed a chevron-shaped formation traveling from east to west at a high rate of speed. The formation itself covered ten degrees of arc and traversed the entire sky in about thirty seconds. With the naked eye, the formation looked like ducks flying south with lights, but with binoculars it was possible to discern at least 20 to 25 separate points of light in a solid boomerang shape. There was absolutely no sound. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter

New York – Flying Triangle Seen During Lunar Eclipse
NEW YORK CITY – The eyewitnesses were standing on top of a building on 30th and 7th Avenue watching the Lunar Eclipse on November 8, 2003, at 8 PM, when they saw a triangle shaped object flying across the sky at a fast pace.” We all saw it, and agreed it had a triangle shape, but with an extra bump adjacent on the triangle shape. At first it looked like a piece of toilet paper flying through the sky, but this was a fixed shape. Then we thought it was a glider, but the shape was wrong and it was too high and much too big to be a glider. It definitely wasn't a plane, there were no sounds coming from it. It took about one minute to streak across the sky. Thanks to Peter Davenport

MANHATTAN - Over the course of an hour or so around 8 PM, on November 8, 2003, the witness saw what at first looked like a group of birds flying in a V formation with lights. They were very high up and flying south shifting and changing in strange patterns. After a few seconds it became clear that they were not birds, since they too high and moving too quickly. They looked almost like long strands of toilet paper, really high up, that would separate and then reconnect. We saw several of these formations fly across the sky, all north to south against the wind. Some were illuminated, although it's hard to tell if they were producing light or reflecting the light from the city below. There were no flashing lights. Thanks to Peter Davenport

NEW YORK CITY (JAMAICA AREA) -- on the night of the Eclipse the witness saw a boomerang shaped object hovering over the park in Jamaica, Queens. Twenty minutes later I saw jet fighters circling the city. Thanks to Peter Davenport

OZONE PARK -- On November 8, between 8:30 to 8:45 PM a family was outside looking at the Lunar Eclipse when they saw a sliver or dark gray boomerang with no lights that was drifting out of a hue of clouds. It appeared like a hand glider but its shape was like the formation of wild geese. It was a giant silver or dark gray boomerang and blended into the sky. It was big and I pointed it out to my 17-year-old sister and my 58-year-old mother. All types of aircraft fly right over our house. The object appeared to be at an altitude of 9-10,000 feet. There were no lights, no sound...just a steady drifting object moving south and then turning widely east. Five minutes later, when again for a second time, we saw the same object moving from the east. A close friend, also, was amazed to see this strange and weird object. Four minutes later you could hear and see a fighter jet with lights flashing flying at great speeds at a higher altitude, also moving west to east. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter

New Jersey - During A Lunar Eclipse: Faint Reddish Zigzagging Light

BRIDGEWATER – On November 8, 2003, at 7:50 PM, a couple was standing in a field watching the eclipse with the Moon about 85% covered. The boyfriend points up and says, "Do you see that?" I saw a very faint point of light. It wasn't emitting it's own light, as though it was reflecting a dark red light. At no point during my watch was the moon red, but my cousin was watching from the next county over and said that the moon was an orangey-red. The light was traveling away from the moon, much faster than anyone flies around here. It was moving quickly and zigzagging. I lost sight of it a couple times, but it would move sharply, and we could pick it up again. It was unmistakable. The movement was very much like a bat, but it was up way too high to be a bat. It was above cloud level. The light zigzagged away from the moon heading south. My boyfriend said, “It was a UFO, that he'd seen a lot in Long Valley.” Thanks to Peter Davenport

NORTH BERGEN – On November 3, 2003, at about 5:40 PM, the witness was watching the sunset, and saw something that looked like a star, but it was moving in circles and zigzagging. It moved for five seconds and stopped but then continued maneuvering for about an hour, and then it became steady. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter

Canada - Continuing Problems for Abductee Family.
KELOWNA, B.C. – Investigator Brian Vike reports, “Since July 31, 2003, after a UFO encounter, missing time and disturbing episodes which followed, one of the women has continued to have medical problems.” Cynthia continues to have a constant feeling of pressure on her head and neck and is becoming worse as weeks go by. On November 8, 2003, Cynthia became cold as her body temperature dropped to 35.2 C. two degrees below normal. She called the hospital, a nurse informed her that it sounded like hypothermia was setting in. The color of Cynthia's skin changed to become almost whitish/gray. She was freezing to the point where she felt paralyzed and her heart was beating irregularly and slowing to 44 beats per minute. Cynthia's daughter is also experiencing an irregular heart rate as well.

On November 8, 2003, Cynthia's daughter went to sleep and had a vivid dream about being in some type of vehicle with two beings. She felt that they were taking her somewhere that wasn’t the place to be, so in her "dream" she jumped from the vehicle and landed on the ground hitting her right leg and rolling. She woke up Sunday morning, with extreme pain in her knee. She was fine the night before, and during the night the cartilage in her right knee was ripped/torn and she has to be on crutches for a while until it heals up. The doctor asked the girl if she had taken part in any sporting activities, or goofing around with friends, "She replied no"! Both her and her daughter are craving salted products and are extremely thirsty. Both mother and daughter are totally exhausted, and since then they haven’t slept. Cynthia said, how can a person who is sleeping soundly in their bed wake up in the morning with a torn cartilage in her right knee? I have to agree with her. Very strange indeed.

Cynthia mentioned that a couple of nights before her daughter awaken at 3:00 AM, to a loud and very strange sound coming from the orchard. The dogs in the area were barking and she was so frightened she pulled the covers over her head. The next night she was awakened at 4 AM, to the same sound. It was dark and she couldn’t see anything and started clapping her hands and the sound eventually stopped. Cynthia went back to bed, but the noise returned. HBCC UFO Note: Hypothermia has not been reported after other abductions.

VANCOUVER -- The witness looked up at the clear night sky at 3 AM, on October 31, 2003, and saw a space ship right out of the original TV show "Lost in Space " The eyewitness says, “That is what it looked like to me, lights, red, orange, green, blue, yellow and white rotating under and around the side. Many more lights than any conventional, night flying, airplanes would have. Not real bright but like Christmas tree lights rotating. No sound, eerily silent, and hovering with almost a slight wobble from too low a speed. It had to be enormous in size and then it passed behind a building. This would have been visible to anyone outside at 3 AM, near English Bay Stanley Park area. Its altitude was very low, only a few hundred feet, over the water." Thanks to Brian Vike, Director CANADA HBCC

Argentina - Two UFOs And A Cattle Mutilation
BUENOS AIRES -- On November 1, 2003, two luminous discs were seen floating over Argentina's capital during the day. One of the objects was floating near the moon for several minutes, while the other accelerated swiftly to the northern end of the city and remained stationary for several minutes. Then, the two UFOs flew slowly north in formation and were videotaped for ten minutes. Also last week, "a cattle mutilation was reported in Rio Cuarto province," about 400 kilometers (250 miles) southwest of Buenos Aires, "on a ranch leased by Sra.Viviana Olivares. The cow was found in a canyon 25 meters (83 feet) deep and 9.3 meters (31 feet) wide." Midway through Canyon El Naranjo "there lay a female bovine 5 to 6 years old, mixed breed, black in color.

UFO QUOTE OF THE WEEK

The last move I made on John's (Ford) behalf was to try to convince him he had received inadequate legal defense and to get a new lawyer. John and his brother refused to entertain that idea. John wrote me from Mid-Hudson that he is doing just fine there. I do not know what happened to John Ford.
