Fiery Contrail from Disc-shaped UFO.
I received on the 17th of this month, another email from my friend Martin H. who lives in Lancashire County, Great Britain. He had sent me some videos before of unknown objects, and some good ones at that. I have worked his case for a time, and it will be soon investigated by a ground investigator from the UK. Also, a UK magazine is interviewing him for a possible article on his sightings.

Martin, by his own admission, is a sky watcher, but certainly not a UFO nut. He is ex-military, and is interested in watching the skies for military jets or anything of interest as a possible target for his trusty Sony video camera. On the 17th of this month, he sent me a video labeled "whatthe?". I thought, " I wonder what he taped this time?" I downloaded the file, and began watching it. I saw a distant object with a fiery, smokey trail behind it rising at an angle of about 30 degrees into the sky. I then thought, "What a great shot!" I honestly believed that I was looking at a jet of some kind, or maybe he had filmed some type of top-secret British plane that would soon be in use over Baghdad.

After about 20 seconds of this, suddenly the contrail vanished, and the object began to flutter in the air. It was not a jet, or any type of plane I nor Martin had ever seen. I immediately got out all the graphics software I have, (which is bountiful) and went to work on the film. Luckily, I was dealing with a high-quality Windows media file directly dubbed from the digital original.

After zooming in 5X, and raising the contrast, and enhancing the edges, there is was! A perfect disc-shaped object. This brought up as many questions as answers, but hey, here was something very much out of the ordinary.

Take a look and see what you think. I assure you that I do not sensationalize, and the image you are seeing is a direct copy taken from the original film. Contrast is turned up, and clarity enhanced, but no changes in proportion were made. I have about 50 still frame captures from the 1:10 video clip that we are offering on our website. If any of you are interested, I do have the high-quality video dub to send out to anyone who wants to do a little research on it.

Columbia Shuttle Disaster.
A sad day it was for all when the Columbia shuttle met a tragic end over the skies of Texas. As many of you know, I live in Central Texas myself. I was not watching the shuttle, but we did hear the sound of the explosion. Debris from the crash was found as close as eight miles from my home. Our hearts and prayers go out to all of the families and friends of those courageous Astronauts who gave their lives for the advancement of science and knowledge. I am sure they would expect those left behind to continue their work. I only wish that our children had more role models like the seven brave men and women who crewed the space shuttle Columbia. May they rest in peace.

Aliens Filmed in London?.
Being a UFO investigator, and in communication with a lot of people all over the world, at times I get a story that is just too good to be true. In my opinion, the following is one of those. But you be the judge. The story itself is believable, yet the accompanying pictures are the "too good to be true" part of the account. The pictures are said to be still frame captures from video cassette, and they are certainly worth a look. According to the anonymous videographer, this is what happened.

London, England, 1999:

Mr. Unknown was awakened sometime in the middle of the night by the louder than usual barking of his neighbor's dog. Being shaken from slumber, he had a very strange feeling, either from something frightening going on outside, or from the remnants of a bad dream. To rule out the former, he took a walk outside to see if he could pinpoint the cause of the dog's heightened state of alarm. He was immediately drawn to a strange light in the sky. The light seemed to emanate from three separate spots, the brightest being in front of two others, creating a triangular shape. He was now awake enough to know he was staring at a triangle-shaped UFO, which seemed to hover not far from his house.

He sped back into the house and grabbed his video camera. He was hoping to film the uniknown lights before they disappeared. Running back outside, his attention was grabbed by a muffled sound. Turning in the direction of the garbled noise, he saw a sight that shocked him. He was now looking at what he described as " small ghost-like beings" who seemed to be rummaging around behind his fence. He gained his composure enough to set his camera to record, and filmed about four (4) minutes of the beings activities. Mr. Unknown was frank in stating that he was a student of the Paranormal, and had experienced strange occurrences before, yet none as strange as what he encountered this night. The small beings soon disappeared, and he never saw them again.

Highway Patrol Officer sees UFO
Goleta, California - A California Highway Patrol officer (CHP) reports a lengthy sighting of a peculiar metallic-appearing disc in the morning sky on May 13, 2003, at 9:20 PM. Peter Davenport, the director of NUFORC, was contacted by an employee of the Federal Aviation Administration, inquiring whether we had received any reports from sources in California, describing a peculiar, metallic-looking, disc-shaped object in the morning skies in the vicinity of Santa Barbara. The employee provided us with the name and telephone number of the individual with whom the FAA had spoken, a CHP Officer, who had described to them his alleged sighting earlier in the morning.

Patrolman

NUFORC spoke with the officer for 25 minutes, and he described having witnessed a very bizarre-looking, disc-shaped object in the skies above "the freeway" in the vicinity of Goleta, CA. The officer had witnessed the object for an estimated 30 minutes, and several of his family members had, also, witnessed the same object from a different location in Santa Barbara.

The officer stated that he first thought the object might be some type of kite, but then abandoned that notion, as he continued to watch it. The object was circular in appearance, and it was "tumbling, end over end."

He was facing north, and the object was moving to the north, away from his location, probably passing over the Santa Barbara Beach. He assumed that other reports might have been submitted to the Santa Barbara Police or Sheriff, although those two offices reported that, to the best of their knowledge, no reports had been submitted to them. It flew towards Vandenberg AFB. Thanks to Peter Davenport, NUFORC Director.

Extraordinary Photographs of Extraterrestrial Beings Appear in Italy

This past week, Rense.com displayed a series of photographs that showed in a spectacular way the presence of strange beings, which would seem to be extraterrestrial, and these images were presented and displayed as well in the mass media of Italy, igniting a great controversy among the populace.

The characteristics of the beings shown on the internet agree with what is traditionally accepted as the Greys, or small Aliens. This determination was made by people who claim to have seen or had otherwise direct contact with these alleged extraterrestrial beings.

Something worthy to mention is the great similarity between these controversial photographs and the images on American webpages of an unknown being by a stone monument (mausoleum) in a cemetery.

Another interesting fact is that in the locality of Los Alamos in Nuevo Leo'n, Iván Yeraldo, Cardinals Cisneros and Fernando stated that they would investigate these claims as much as possible, and said that the photographers of the cemetery image asserted that they did not see the strange being in the cemetery until the pictures had been developed.

Alien Captured on Camera in Alaska, 1930s
Subj: Photograph taken by my grandfather

Date: 8/14/2003 5:16:28 AM Central Standard Time

From: (name withheld by UFO Casebook)

Dear Sir,

The included picture was taken by my grandfather in the early 1930s. I scanned the image immediately after he gave it to me last week. I wish to remain anonymous since I don't want anything to do with any research or whatever on this.

I know it looks like an alien or a Bigfoot and I know my grandfather was telling me the truth about him taking this picture. That's why I think it should be in the right hands. You are the only one I'm sending this to, so please respect my privacy and don't contact me about this.

Thanks in advance,

Yours,

(Name withheld)

The only additional information is contained on the bottom of the full size image, which tells us the following:

The picture was taken in the early 1930s by the sender's grandfather, who lived in Alaska. The entitiy was first seen when the grandfather was on his way to a lake. He chased the entity until he got close enough to take this one picture. It was some four months before the photograph was developed, being in in a remote, sparsely populated area. The sender received the picture from his grandfather only last week His grandfather died the day after giving him the photo, and relating his story.

To say the least, I was intrigued by this mysterious message. What could this image be? I download it, and after looking at it a few moments, I knew it would be controversial to say the least. Little did I know that there would be more than one mystery to solve. As I began the task of selecting and cutting the area around the small creature, I thought to myself: "Wouldn't it be something if this was the real thing, even though it may never be proven as such?" What if this gentleman's grandfather had really filmed a creature from another world, and I was looking at the proof. My excitement was only tempered by the thought of not being able to prove it one way or the other. I would soon be faced, however, with the second mystery.

After doing a couple of trial runs, I was relatively pleased with the results, considering the fact that the scanned image was from a photograph approximately 70 years old. As I looked through several of the cutouts I had made, I thought maybe I saw something...something else. The entity's right lower arm/hand region seemed to be obscured; but by what? So I went back to the original scan, and starting working on that particular area. What I finally saw, or thought I saw was a second, even smaller entity. Is it possible that we had a female with her child? I had done what I could, and the results were inconclusive.

I thought of the Patterson Bigfoot film that had been the cornerstone of believers for many years, until it was proven as a hoax. In other words, I have no definite answer as to what we are looking at here.It is one of three things:

1) An outright hoax, (someone in a suit, a la Patterson) and all the time and effort was wasted.

2) A single unknown being, origin unknown, and we are without a way to go any further toward discovery.

3) Number 2, with two beings.

UFO Taunts Three Mechanics
"I’d never been so scared," said one of the protagonists of the strange and extraordinary adventure.

A team of three mechanics from Salta, who had ventured out to rescue a minibus belonging to a Canadian scientific expedition on the Chilean side of the Andean region bordering the provinces of Salta and Jujuy, had an unexpected brush with the unusual: an unidentified flying object (UFO) of considerable size, spherical, and having an "impressive white luminosity" followed them for over two hours on a straight road that links the communities of Susques and Punamarca through the international Jama Pass.

"I’d never been so scared. That thing didn’t belong to this world. It moved at an impossible speed and at one point came so close to us we thought it would collide," said Raul Eduardo Oviedo Tomas of the "Forani" mechanic shop in Salta. The north american researchers were stranded at San Pedro de Atacama. Headed by Dr. Randall, the scientists were conducting a survey of Cordilleran flora.

"We left Saturday on 4:45 from Salta toward the Cordillera. I asked two friends--Marco Figueroa and Alejandro--to accompany me so I wouldn’t have to do either the work or the journey alone. This was the first time I had driven those roads,and I was truly impressed, not just by the landscape and the desolation, but by the hardship. One has to climb a 70 kilometer-long incline to reach Chile, which can destroy the engine of any unit driven by a inexperienced motorist," said Oviedo Tomas, 37, with an athletic build.

He added: "We reached San Pedro de Atacama around 14 hours on the same day, but [upon reaching the site] we realized that it would be impossible to tow the Canadian minibus with my S10 Chevy--it weighed over 5000 kilos and one good look at its structure and equipment sufficed to establish that the only way to get it out of there would be using a "mosquito truck" or something similar. We therefore decided to return home."

Without hestitation, taking deep drags of a cigarette, Oviedo Tomas went on: "The road on the Argentinean side is trully horrible, especially when contrasted with the Chilean side, which is like a paved pool table, with signage and road markings. At that point, shortly before reaching Susques, the stones caused us a blowout, which caused us to continue the trip under stress, since there was no other spare tier. We thought to repair it in the little town [Susques] but the tire repairman was on holiday, so we had to continue regardless. It was still Saturday."

"At around 20:00 we left Susques for Punamarca. We were listeing to music and remarking about the impressive darkness and loneliness of this area, which is an upland plateau. Suddenly the lights and radio went out. I braked because I couldn’t see anything at all due to the darkned. "Stop fooling around!" Alejandro told me from the back seat."

"Meanwhile, I was moving all of the knobs and to see what had happened. Nothing worked, only the engine. Suddenly, on my right and at an [undetermined] distance, I saw a strange light. It was a small sphere that irradiated an intense white light. ’Did you see that?’ asked Marcos. I never got to answer, even though I thought [the light] was what they call ’la luz mala’ (the evil light), because it started moving swiftly toward us until it became enormous. It stopped and remained static. ’Don’t look at it!’ I told my friends, although I don’t know why. I accelerated and poured on as much speed as possible, however, that ’thing’ started to fly again in a perfect straight line. It didn’t make a single sound. Suddenly, it gained speed and in less than a second it vanshed toward the bottom of the plain."

"We were quiet and didn’t make a single remark, although all of us asked each other many times ’Did you see it? Did you see it?’. We went on in silence, although not for long, because other things happened that were truly unbelievable."

Picture of UFO Taken in Antarctica
On the enormous layers of ice and sediment that characterize the landscape of the South Pole, a strange object was photographed flying through the skies of the base Villa the Stars. The case will be analyzed by C.E.F.A.A.(TERRA.cl)

SANTIAGO, November 26. - Recently, about five months back, a group of sergeant majors of the Air Force of Chile took a series of panoramic photographs of Villa the Stars and caught accidentally, in a pair of sequences, the intriguing presence of a spherical object flying over the frosted Antarctic planes.

The images were captured with a digital camera, showing the presence of a strange object, moving rapidly, which moved from the South towards the West.

The caseis being analyzed by image experts on the Committee of Studies of Feno'menos Ae'reos Ano'malos (C.E.F.A.A.), which will determine if the photographic material is subject to classification or not as an unidentified aerial phenomenon.

It should be emphasized, that the incidents of sighting UFOs in the Antarctic are rare, but not unheard of.

Did you know that...?
1) What government branch made a direct inference that NASA was (is) withholding filmed evidence of UFOs to which the general public is being denied access?

2) What astronaut, during a public presentation, made a direct reference to "aliens being buried at Area 51?"

Rainhill UFO Landing Witness

Dateline: Thursday, December 11, 2003-By: GREG TAYLOR, Phenomena News Editor-Source: St Helens Star

For 5 hours in January 1978, 46-year-old Robert Bennett sat listening to his amateur radio with three police officers. What they were listening to was unbelievable - a UFO which had been sighted above a power station, and tracked by both enthusiasts and police as it travelled over the Mersey countryside, had apparently been seen landing in a field near the town of Rainhill.

Now 71, Bennett came forward with his memories after an article in The St Helens Star told of how the sighting had been placed at #44 in a police database of UFO sightings. A journalist with the newspaper, Ian Brandes, had reported that Detective Constable Gary Heseltine had officially entered the sighting of the mysterious lights above the Bold Power Station, in the Police Reporting UFO sightings database.

Is Billy Meier Finally Vindicated

Professional Skeptics Group Proves UFOs Real-Organization expected to retract defamatory claims-facilitate $1,000,000 award to Swiss man-By Michael Horn-12-9-3

LOS ANGELES - It was only a matter of time before a breakthrough in authenticating the existence of non-terrestrial UFOs would take place but, surely, nobody thought it would come about this way. Despite mounting evidence over the past half-century the arbiters and manipulators of public opinion in media, governmental and scientific circles, along with professional skeptics and debunkers, have marginalized serious discussion of UFOs and dismissed all evidence as inconclusive and flawed.

Defamatory Claims?- A special target, at the top of the hit list for skeptics and debunkers for more than 25 years, are the claimed contacts of a Swiss man, Billy Meier. Meier, who claimed that his contacts...

Focus: Ufology in mysticism

China Daily HK Edition- 2003-12-12 11:17

UFOs, flying saucers and ET conjure up images from Hollywood films and blurred photos in tabloid newspapers. But a number of true believers in China, many of them highly educated, see merit in exploring unidentified flying objects and alien encounters scientifically.

Meng Zhaoguo, a 35-year-old tree grower from Wuchang City in Heilongjiang Province, can still vividly describe the Steven Spielberg-type scenario he claims to have witnessed nearly 10 years ago:

As he sat in a huge white, gleaming spaceship, a tall creature with a large head and eyes like light bulbs and clad in an inflated seamless rubber suit perched on a metal sheet that hovered in the air. In a metallic-tinged voice, this interplanetary visitor communicated with a man via a television-like screen, predicting a collision between a comet and Jupiter.

Sightings

Breaking UFO Reports, (last update, 12-10-03)

Wisconsin-Multiple UFO Sightings
12-05-03, New Glarus, Green Co.

My girlfriend and I were traveling From Oregon, WI to New Glarus, WI on Hwy. D around 6:00pm 12/05/2003. After we were on our way we noticed a really bright star in front of us (the west). I have thought that I have seen strange flying objects before but as you get closer you'll notice a strobe blinking or some other sign that it is just a plane. First thing that we noticed about the object was that it didn't seem to be moving at all, it seemed to be hovering over the town of Belleville, WI.

As we got closer to Belleville we noticed to object was moving west/southwest in the direction of New Glarus. As we had to slow down for town I was afraid that we would lose the object, but when we came out of town on the west side we could see that it seemed to be moving really slow.... slower than any plane I ever saw. So we decided to try and get a closer look and hurried toward New Glarus. The object seemed to be also hovering above New Glarus so we continued west on Hwy. 39 but as we got closer it increased speed and continued SW until we couldn't see it anymore..... The whole time we observed this, it could only have been 1000ft-2000ft in sky and the best way to explain it would be Like the brightest star I have ever seen kinda yellow orange.

12-05-03, Milwaukee, County: Milwaukee

Two "star-like" objects in southern sky, right light flashed brightly then disappeared, left light started to "fall" then did the same.

While waiting for the lights to change on the corner of Lake Drive and Kenwood Blvd, facing south, I noticed in the clear southern sky two "star-like" objects that were very close together (the one on the right was up higher than the one on the left). Within seconds of spotting these lights I witnessed the higher of the two flash very brightly, then disappear. Immediately after that the second light began to "fall" then flashed very brightly and was gone. - That was it.

12-11-03, Abbotsford- Clark County

I just got off of work and heading home there was a huge brilliant white flashing almost like a flare light in the south western sky. I watched it and it seemed to flare up then turn colors and seemed to move a little. I was driving from Abbotsford going towards Spencer then all the way home. Finally I slowed down to a stop and it just faded away. Noticing there were some stars and clouds the stars did not move much. This light was super bright and seem to move a little until it disappeared. It was quite a spectacle. Could have been a low flying meteorite burning in the atmosphere (maybe?)

Kentucky Screaming Incident and Alien Abduction?
Mysterious screams heard at the site of a UFO landing in eastern Kentucky have researchers wondering if an abduction was involved. According to Ohio ufologist Kenny Young, an eyewitness, Dr. Virgil Davis "was driving toward his home" in Morehead, Kentucky (population 5,914) on Friday, November 21 (2003) between 9 and 10 p.m., with his two sons, aged 15 and 18 respectively. He recalls the specific date, knowing that one son was in college and would not have been home any day but Friday."

"While driving, they all spotted a soundless aerial object over a nearby open field," Young reported. The UFO "was described as an oval-shaped, white-colored light source as big as a pea held at arm's length, which moved 'like a hummingbird would move.'"

"The object, seen in the dark and clear night skies, was relatively high when first seen and was 'coming down, moving in increments as if an elevator (that) would stop and stay there awhile, then drop and stay there awhile.' Dr. Davis said."

"After the first three or four minutes of visual observation, the object began moving around to different parts of the sky. They got out of the car to see if they could identify the object to their satisfaction that the object was not a plane, a helicopter or the Aurora borealis."

"'My first inclination was to rationalize what the object could have been,' Dr. Davis said, 'rather than jumping to conclusions. After we ruled out the various possible explanations, we assumed that this was a UFO. I know for a fact that there was no explanation for this object, and I'm just glad I had my two sons with me to see it.'"

"After observing the object for a few minutes, Dr. Davis and his sons got back in the car and drove on to their home under a certain sense of apprehension." The doctor reportedly said, "I did not know what it was we were looking at and had some concern that it might or could have spotted us."

"After driving a short distance to their house, they went to a second-floor bedroom and looked out the window toward the northeast," continuing to observe the sky.

"'It descended lower towards the ground and seemed to be settling in a nearby field when its color had shifted from a white to an orange. As the object got lower and lower to the ground, it became bigger, and its color changed to a reddish light.'"

Dr. Davis "said the object's size increased from a pea at arm's length to a dime (USA 10-cent coin--J.T.) at arm's length."

"'There was like a vacuum of silence while we watched this,' Dr. Davis said, 'It was like everything was real quiet, at a standstill, and then, when it became a red color, everything went crazy.'"

"Dr. Davis said the animals in the area erupted in a frenzy. His neighbor's dog was barking crazily, and his German Shepherd dog tried to break its chain."

"'At this point, after the object got red, it just shot off like a dart, some kind of acceleration, and it took off to the west. We just stood there, dumbfounded.'"

"He said the sighting lasted for an estimated 10 to 15 minutes."

"'Right after that, my two sons went back outside and heard the screaming. It was a female voice. They got in the car and within minutes had called from their cell phone to say they had been hearing screaming sounds in the field when the thing came down,' he said."

"'Approximately 20 minutes after the sighting, the police were at my door. There were about 20 officers and a rescue squad over in the field where I spotted the UFO. They were combing the area and asked me what I knew about someone screaming. Apparently, others had heard the screaming sounds.'"

According to Dr. Davis's son, the female voice kept saying, "Help me, oh my God, help me!"

"'Apparently, several people had heard the screaming. I don't know how long it lasted,' Dr. Davis said."

Kenny Young pointed out that Morehead, Ky. "is 45 miles (72 kilometers) south of Flemingsburg, where a crop formation appeared in a rye field" in May 2003.

Morehead is on Interstate Highway I-64, approximately 60 miles (100 kilometers) east of Lexington. Young added that ufologist Don Blessing investigated a case in southern Ohio earlier this year in which an amnesiac woman was found in a farmer's field in the middle of the night. The woman had no idea how she had gotten into the field. Young wondered if the Morehead incident might be a similar case of an abductee being "returned."

However, the incident report by Rowan County police states only that an officer responded to the call and determined that the witnesses had seen the Aurora borealis. (Many thanks to Kenny Young for this news story.)

Red Spherical UFO Seen In Switzerland
"A 'flying rugby ball' was seen by three people Friday night, November 28, 2003 at Froideville" in western Switzerland.

Eyewitnesses described the object as "a spherical red UFO."

"Among the Cantonal police, despite the presence of specialist investigators, no one knows any more about the UFO seen that night in Froideville."

"The two policemen dispatched to the scene did not notice anything other than a power failure that affected the entire village at the time of the sighting. They saw residents moving about in confusion on the darkened streets."

"Several inhabitants told police that they heard a suspicious humming. Three of them asserted that they had seen 'a flying rugby ball.' The witnesses telephoned the police at midday on Saturday, November 29, 2003, to report their sighting."

"'Something occurred in Froideville,' one witness asserted."

"The UFO reportedly moved vertically in front of the witnesses' windows."

"Ufologist Pierre Blanchoud of Vaudois said, 'The size of this object is rare. The observed machines are usually balls like small suns. As for the humming, this is completely normal in the UFO world. As well as the fact that domestic appliances went out or lit up spontaneously. This means the appliance lost a lot of energy.'"

"One witness, Philippe Michou, said he had seen a similar UFO twenty years ago on two occasions, once in January and again in August of 1983. He described these UFOs as 'egg-shaped' and 'red-orange coloured.'"

Yellow-Orange UFO Spotted In Jordan, Montana
On Wednesday, December 3, 2003, during a light rain, Laura M. was outdoors near her home in Jordan, Montana (population 364) when a UFO approached from the south.

"I saw a yellowish-orange glowing globe to the south just above the horizon," Laura reported, "Slowly flashing, glow that disappears like a (traffic) caution light but slower. It reappeared closer, then disappeared, then reappeared again and hovered above a mobile home. It was some 250 yards (225 meters) away from me. It looked as though it clearly had intentions."

"I left this area as fast as I could. It did not have any lights. It just pulsed light. I could estimate its size as a Volkswagen (car) or smaller compared to the 14 by 70 foot mobile home."

"It was a lot slower than a flashing light and it made me feel very uncomfortable, as if it had intentions. It was never as high as an airplane. I would say it was 100 feet (30 meters) off the ground, higher than (street) light poles."

Blue-Colored Alien Appears In Phoenix, Arizona
A girl in Phoenix, Arizona says she was awakened in the middle of the night and frightened by a blue alien.

Jenna R. reported, "I was sleeping in my bed on (Friday) November 21 (2003). It was about 2:30 a.m. I always wake up in the middle of the night, but this night was different. I woke up very frightened."

"I opened my eyes and turned over and, at the edge of my bed, was a little man or woman three to four feet (0.9 to 1.3 meters) tall" and "a grayish-blue color. I remember his piercing black eyes the most."

"He slowly started moving towards me. I tried to scream but was unable to." "He kept moving closer to me from the side of the bed."

"I immediately hid under my covers. I slowly came out from under my covers, and he was still there. So I quickly sat up. He flung open my bedroom door and ran out."

While approaching the bed, the entity "moved at about two miles per hour," Jenna added, "kinda like he was creeping towards me." (Email Form Report)

(Editor's Comment: I find it interesting that Jenna's encounter took place on Friday, November 21, 2003--the same night as the Davis family's sighting in Morehead, Kentucky. See story above.)

Florida – Two Abductions Reported
MILTON -- Two of the gals at the local convenience store were telling me that they were abducted. To prove her point to me, one of the ladies sent me an email of your report showing a reported ten minute abduction of another women and her daughter when going over the bridge just down the road on the I-10 Freeway. They told me that at 7:00 PM, they went outside to collect the garbage bags from containers and then threw them away in the dumpster.

She said her usual customers had left and they had time to do the 5 minute chore. When they came back in, it was 9:00 PM, and that is the time they get ready to close the store. Cosing time being 10 PM. They were animated about how they lost two hours. Later, just a few days ago, one complained that some fluid was draining out of one her ears, and the other said she had the same problem. One of the ladies had previously told me she went "shinen" one night with her husband (scouting Deer habitats with lights), and a very large triangle flying object with lights and no sound hovered above them and then left going over the trees.

Michigan – Flying Triangle Craft Seen Hovering Over Field
STOCKBRIDGE AND WHITMORE LAKE -- On November 30, 2003, three observers saw a light near her house in Stockbridge that would brighten and fade away, then get brighter and then disappear, with no clouds around it. After one passenger was dropped off the two witnesses saw a strange object with pulsating lights over a cow pasture. Each light would pulse three times as it hovered over the car as they were driving, going almost the same speed as we were. The eye witness states, “As it went over us, I saw it had a humped shape on top and it was like a triangle with a light on top and lights all around it. The object teeter-tottered it's way slowly across the sky, rocking back and forth like a plane would with it's wings when it "waves".

It looked like a worm wriggling it's way across the sky at 9 PM. Throughout the 25 mile ride back, we saw lights in the six get brighter and fade over and over again... when finally as one got so bright and then it jetted across the sky faster than any plane, and within 5 seconds was gone. When we arrived back to Whitmore Lake, just over the lake was this saucer shaped object with red lights all around it hovering above the lake. When we pulled into the driveway.. the same craft we saw over the field was right over my house... waiting for us just above the trees. Shaped like a triangle with a large blue light coming very slowly across he sky.

I immediately hopped out of the car to grab the video camera but it had already disappeared. Ten minutes later, the lights appeared just above the horizon. I started rolling film. My mother, two of her friends, two strangers and I all saw what were anywhere from 2 to 6 crafts at a time appear and reappear and slowly moving in the distance. They hovered in one spot over a period of an hour. I got about a half hour of footage where you can see the moving lights and pulsating lights that wiggled. Thanks to Peter Davenport

Nebraska - Large Dark Disk Seen In Daylight - Have Video
ASHLAND -- About 12:45 PM, on November 30, 2003, a married couple saw the shocking and disturbing sight of a very large, dark colored disk shaped object hovering in the sky south of their home. The object seemed to move in all directions (swoop from side to side and upside down) at times it looked as if it were floating, then it would very quickly and smoothly fly further south and then come back.

The observers say, “At one point the object seemed to be on it's side with the top facing us while in that position a very bright white light came from the object.” After a couple minutes the object slowly moved further up and further south, my husband ran in to get the camcorder and shot 15 to 20 seconds of footage before the object was blocked by trees and no longer in view. We have shown the footage to several people all were shocked and believe what they saw was a UFO. Thanks to Peter Davenport

UFO QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"From what I heard there were officers in the car trying to follow it (UFO) and I believe it did land in a field in Rainhill and two police officers, a PC and a WPC were 20 yards away from it when it started to take off."

Robert Bennet, commenting on the Bold Power Station case.

Answers to "Did you know that?"

1) answer: (The FBI) files infer that NASA is withholding filmed evidence of UFOs to which the general public is being denied access and remarks about Gemini 4 is of special interest because James McDivitt, a pilot with Gemini 4, confirmed that during the mission he did see an "unidentified object".

2) answer: Excerpt from Presentation by Thomas P. Stafford NASA Channel---Gallery/History Hour Dec. 20, 2002 1:00pm - 2:00pm EST Amid an informative hour-long presentation about the NASA Gemini Apollo, and Apollo-Soyuz programs, accompanied by some stock visuals Stafford made several stone-faced quips throughout his presentation - among them: [at about 1:52pm EST]

: "Then on to a place you know about...Area 51. That's where we had the dead aliens buried. We used to have them down at Roswell, but that got too much publicity so we moved them there". The reaction from the crowd was the expected laugh, while Stafford never flinched during the remarks. It could be stated that he appeared sincere, but the crowd took it as a joke obviously, and he moved on without a pause and continued to talk about the F-16, the B-1, and B-2 and other aircraft tested at Area 51.
