- MAINE MULTIPLE FLASHING LIGHTS OVER A LONG PERIOD
-
- CARRABASSET VALLEY -- Three hikers decided to take the
half mile hike up to North Horn to watch the sunset at the Bigelow Preserve
on September 6, 2003. In the northeast a flash of light caught their eyes
at 8:30 PM. Flashes got more frequent and they all saw them 10 to15 miles
out against the shadows of the next ridgeline. The random flashes were
very bright alternating between blue/white and orange. At first, they thought
they were explosions from military testing but this was ruled out knowing
that the fire risk was too high. The lights most certainly were not planes
or flares as the flashes varied in intensity. The flashes were roughly
over the Appalachian Trail. The witness states, "Among the flashes
we could make out a red antennae like object that was not flashing, but
glowing." My two friends thought they also saw small objects in the
sky being illuminated by the brighter flashes. After 15 minutes or so we
were more than a little freaked out and decided to make the half-mile descent
back to camp. Thanks to Peter Davenport - NUFORC

- NEW YORK - LARGE DISK SHAPED OBJECT OVER MANHATTEN
-
- BROOKLYN -- On September 8, 2003, at 10:35 PM, a large
disc was seen moving at a moderate speed across the sky above lower Manhattan.
The body of the craft had a very dim luminescent glow and a small flashing
light at the left end. The craft was flattish, but with a curvature on
top, like an upside down dinner plate. It seems to be flying, near the
Brooklyn and Williamsburg bridges. The disc was still there at 11:30 PM,
near the JFK Airport. Personnel in the tower and planes should have seen
it. The UFO had a flashing rear light, a white light in the top center
moving in a circular motion on the crown. There is an orange-reddish color
to it and there was an upward tilt at the front of the craft. It changed
shape as it flew back and forth, and had an elongated disk shape to it.

- NEW JERSEY LIGHT IN ORBIT AROUND A LARGER LIGHT
-
- SPRINGFIELD --This was a normal night, on August 31,
2003, when a couple and friend were outside and noticed an object in the
sky that looked like a hot air balloon, but it was all lit up and moved
much quicker than a hot air balloon. On the bottom of the object was a
blinking light. It moved too quickly to be a hot air balloon or blimp,
nor was it in the shape of a blimp. I said it must be an UFO! They laughed.
I said, "Well it is an unidentified flying object."
-
- BEACH HAVEN TERRACE - The observer was looking at the
sky on September 8, 2003, at 11:30 PM, and observed a brownish/red star
(Mars) in the west. The strange thing about this was that a light at times
circled around the planet object, Later it moved left to right and right
to left. This light was a bluish/white. The object itself appeared to be
moving with the orbit of Mars. Thanks to Peter Davenport - NUFORC

- FLORIDA - THREE LIGHTS IN TRIANGLE WITH THE TITAN 4 ROCKET
-
- CAPE CANAVERAL -- A Titan 4 rocket was launched at 00:29
hours on September 9, 2003, carrying classified National Reconnaissance
Office satellite. Peter Davenport at the National Reporting Center
( <www.nuforc.org ) received seven sighting reports from multiple locations
during this time period as follows:
-
- TALLAHASSEE -- Two graduate students from National High
Magnetic Field Laboratory observed a rocket shaped object with a flat bottom
at 10:15 PM, changing from vertical to horizontal speed for fifteen minutes.
The object was flying extremely slowly, at an angle changing from 0 to
almost 45 degrees and appeared almost motionless and floating in the air
at very low height, almost 30 to 50 feet above the tree tops. A blue light
flashing in the bottom of the object and 2 red lights flashing on 2 sides.
The object made a low rumbling sound like an aircraft's engine. It suddenly
went vertical and then as we followed it and parked our cars, it became
horizontal and increased the speed all of a sudden and vanished quickly.
-
- CLEARWATER - A couple went for a late night swim and
saw a bright light at 12:30 PM, to the east that split into three triangles,
one hovered and two dropped, and the first then disappeared. Four people
observed a streak in the sky, a light shot ahead, then the light in the
rear broke into two, then one, by one, they all burned out. Four of us
observed a streak come up (slightly from the ground direction) and then
go sideways (east). A light shot ahead and it was almost as if the object
(the faint triangular outline) was stretching. That light burned out and
the light in the rear broke into two. Then one at a time they each burned
out as the mass moved across the sky.
-
- TAMPA - The witness was driving home when a huge ball
of blinding light was taking off with a rectangular shaped trail tapering
off of it, which fluctuated in length. The ball of light morphed into three
separate lights forming the shape of a triangle, which continued to flicker.
All three of these lights had distinct coloration's to them. The main
most radiant light at the front/top of the triangle was a pale yellow color,
the light on the left was a pale red color, and the light to the right
was a greenish blue color. The shape of the lights was in the form of an
acute triangle and just floated with such grace. As these three lights
got closer they stopped flickering and a form appeared around the lights.
-
- The shape was of a triangle craft with the top peak cut
off almost in half. The body was a gray color with a gray blue paneling
around it. By this time it was hovering over the tree line and was the
size of one and a half football fields. Then the ship gradually disappeared,
starting at the rear two dimmer lights, which faded away like streaks in
the sky as if it was traveling at great speeds. The main light gradually
diminished in size and rose in the sky as if it took off towards the southeast
until it fully disappeared. Every thing about this unidentified object
was so geometric and precise in it's shape that it was breath taking. This
sighting lasted for about three to five minutes.
-
- PORT ST LUCIE - The witness reports something caught
on fire while entering the atmosphere at a northeastern direction from
me in the sky. Heading ESE there were two long golden flames close together
and parallel, with a small bright dot in front as if this thing caught
on fire when entering the atmosphere. As it moved across the sky the front
dot slowly drifted away from the long flames. The long flames went out
first and the small dot stayed lit for about 1/2 a minute longer then went
out. The long flames were about two inches long and move about 1 ft across
the sky before they went out. the front dot was almost connected to the
flames for about 10 seconds before drifting away from the 2 flames. I watched
the event for three minutes.
-
- PUNTA GORDA - The observer watched an object in the sky
for about five minutes on the southern Gulf Coast of Florida. We thought
it was a plane at first but it was too bright and it had a comet like tail....
the object then flared a red color and split into two pieces, one flared
again and disappeared the other continued in a bright glow with a tail
then flared red and fell straight down also disappearing.
-
- FORT LAUDERDALE -- My fiancé, her mother
and a physician were driving north on I 95 when we all saw a large trail
of light as if fire was being left behind moving east. We pulled off the
highway to take a picture. The object then lost the trail and 3 lights
appeared. Two were very bright orange the other a fainter white. These
lights appeared to hover in a triangular formation fainting again into
the clouds. My fiancé's mother made an interesting comment
that at the age of 15 she saw a similar event over her country of birth,
Argentina.
-
- EDITOR'S NOTE: Seven sightings occurred around the time
of launch of the Titan 4B missile into a cloud layer shortly after lift
off. Some witnesses in Tampa, Clearwater, and Port St Lucie, 125 miles
away, reported seeing three lights, not one rocket launch pattern. This
might be explained by two massive 112-foot solid rocket boosters and a
two-stage liquid Aerozine-50 and nitrogen tetroxide main engine that boosted
the rocket further east and into space. A liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen
Centaur upper stage was to boost the cargo into its proper orbit. Several
witnesses said, "the object was hovering for several minutes."
We have the possibility that cloud layers, distance, and the night launch
of several missile stages caused the witness's misperception. However,
there is also a possibility that other craft were present. The Tallahassee
sighting may have been a UFO moving into position prior to launch, since
UFOs are frequently seen in the vicinity of missile launches. OHIO - FLYING

-
- SEAMAN, ADAMS COUNTY -- Kenny Young was contacted on
the Cincinnati UFO Hotline to report a tremendously large object seen around
midnight of September 13, 2003. Mandy, a 21-year old along with her Mom,
her sister and one of her friends saw a huge object off Route 32. They
observed a triangular-shaped formation of lights on one large object, the
lights flashed in sequence and would simultaneously alternate in color
from pinkish-red, blue, white to yellow. There were 4-or 5 lights on the
outer edges of the triangle facing downward that flashed as a row of lights.
The flashing effect was vastly different than the twinkling of a star.
The colors would change in unison, all red or all yellow, etc., and would
flash along the outer edge of the object in a slow sequence at first, then
the flashing sequence escalated in speed after several minutes into the
sighting. The UFO was not quite as big as a full moon, and it hovered
above Belfast for almost an hour at an elevation less than 45 degrees
above the horizon. Her mother, who is skeptical about UFOs, decided to
have her report the object because it seemed to be so unusual. Both her
sister and her friend are skeptical about UFOs, but could not identify
the object.. Coyotes were heard howling ridiculously loud during the sighting,
and also the previous evening. Thanks to Kenny Young UFO RESEARCH http://home.fuse.net/ufo

-
- CHIPPEWA FALLS -- It was a very clear sky on September
3, 2003, at 5:00 AM, I had just sent my daughter off to college and I stood
alone in the driveway observing the stars, when I noticed a commercial
jet on its way to the St. Paul/Minneapolis Airport. It was using the east
to west flight corridor. An object appeared from the west that was a very
bright white light moving faster, but lower than the jet. It flew directly
over my head with no sound and flew northeast in less than a minute. http://www.ufowisconsin.com/county/reports2003/r2003_0903_chippewa.html

-
- BROUILLETTE -- Andrew Griffin writes, "I forwarded
my story to you regarding the strange lights witnessed by many on August
28, 2003. I got another call from a credible witness saying he saw the
same lights in the community of Brouillette, between 9 and 10 p.m. when
most of the sightings in south and southwest LA took place. The distance
between Brouillette and Moss Bluff, Louisiana is 100 miles. The gentleman
I interviewed, also, mentioned that this object went toward the southeast,
not the southwest toward Lake Charles, and he is positive it was not a
helicopter. He was convinced it was a UFO. Thanks to Andrew Griffin/The

- RIVERSIDE -- My Father-in-law saw a bright light in the
sky from the freeway on September 7, 2003, at 9 PM. He kept watching it
for over ten minutes as it slowly moved over a small mountain near March
Air Force Base looking like a very bright light bulb. It started hovering
and looked like a satellite dish in shape that had a halo around it. It
didn't look like any normal plane or any other object he's seen. Peter

- FEDERAL WAY - A couple was taking an evening walk on
September 3, 2003, when they saw a very bright lights moving speedily past
them at 9 PM. It was a black triangle with three or possibly more bright
lights. We thought it was a plane until we noticed it was moving backward
it took two or three turns and then started rising and eventually moved
out of sight. Peter Davenport - NUFORC
-
- SEATTLE - An hour later, another witness was walking
his dogs in Northgate and saw two distinctly red oblong luminous objects
moving northwest across the sky at a high angular velocity at 10 PM. They
were very bizarre in appearance, and maneuvered, relative to each other
and disappeared behind a nearby building, The witness quickly returned
to his residence and drew a picture of what he had just witnessed minutes
earlier. Peter Davenport - NUFORC
-
- EASTERN CASCADES - Cliff Mickelson writes, "Last
week, red lights were over Los Angles; my neighbors and I have been watching
them up here for over a year now." We, also, witness nighttime military
traffic including the flying triangle. I live 25 miles from the nearest
town on a small farm in the Eastern Cascades. My home sits on a hill and
we have seen enough to make a believer out of anyone! This summer my neighbors,
kids, and I watched them every night. They usually appeared several hours
after sundown, but rarely after 3 AM. These objects fade and sometimes
brightening considerably. Other times they cross the entire horizon at
incredible or more moderate rates of speed. Some objects exhibit a single
white glowing light with radiant luminescence. An entire group at the reservation
gather each night near Mt. Adams, to watch. The highlight of the year was
watching a military jet try to catch one. Large groups of stationary and
semi-stationary objects flash blue, red, green and white. These lights
vary in intensity from one minute to the next. Beginning two years ago,
these objects have increased until they fill every quadrant. I have very
little use for the desk bound opinions of professionals who fail to come
and look. I can guarantee you that you are on to something big! Thanks

- SAKINAW LAKE - Brian Vike writes, The witness who owns
a summer home on the Sunshine Coast reports that on August 7, 2003, she
took her star gazing gear in a peddle boat out to the middle of the lake.
She states, "I usually stay out for a couple of hours and watch the
shooting stars before peddling home." At 10:15 PM, I spotted a shooting
star that streaked across the sky heading south then stopped, and split
into four lights which formed a square with a light in each corner. It
stayed in the square formation for four seconds before it changed forms
again. Two lights stayed in place while the other two moved slightly away,
then stopped. The four lights together looked like a rectangle and stayed
this way for a few seconds. Then the two lights that moved to form the
rectangle shot off northward, like parallel shooting stars, while the other
two lights only separated slightly and remained stationary.
-
- ENDERBY BC --On August 28th, 2003, around 8:30 PM, my
sister and I went for a walk and saw a medium sized hovering white light
in the sky. Then not even in a blink of an eye it went from medium size
to big, then to very tiny and started moving very fast. It confused me
and frightened her.
-
- BARRIERE, BC - A fellow telephoned to say he heard Brian
on CIFM Radio talking to a witness about a sighting she and a large number
of others had on September 3, 2003,. He said, "I saw something move
very strangely at 11:10 PM, and have that object on video. The radio witness
says, she saw a huge cylinder shaped craft flying very low, that was larger
and longer than any aircraft! There were bright white lights that looked
like windows running down the full length of a long tube. No sound was
heard. Their cat went nuts when the object passed by.
-
- KELOWNA - At midnight on July 31, 2003, two ladies decided
to go star gazing at an isolated area off the side of a back road. They
were out of the car a minute as Pat shined her flashlight into the sky
and they saw three white stars in a triangle shape that started moving
together. The lights changed to a neon green and the object flew to a position
just ahead of their car. Pat shined her flashlight down the road and spotted
something which frightened them - five sets of eyes were staring from 40
feet away. Their first thoughts were coyotes or wild animals. The creatures
were roughly four feet tall, with dark gray shoulders. They started coming
towards the women. Pat said, "I was so scared. I yelled, "Get
in the car." They scrambled into the car, but everything slowed down
and the ignition failed."
-
- Finally the car started and they sped off towards home,
and noticed a fair bit of traffic and wondered where was all the traffic
when all this was happening?" As they drove Pat said, "This
is the weirdest thing. I feel like electricity, my whole body is tingling,
just like I was zapped by a charge from a battery." When Linda heard
this, she said, "I am feeling the same. As if I was hit by an electrical
charge." Linda glanced at the car's clock and said, "Look at
the time, we were only stopped for a few minutes, now the clock reads an
extra 25 minutes of time." Investigation continues. Thanks to Brian

-
- BURNLEY TODAY NEWS -- Burnley cabbie, Mr. Steve Haworth,
and a passenger watched a mysterious flying object suddenly appear, perform
a series of maneuvers and then simply disappear without trace above the
town, early on August 30, 2003. Mr. Haworth was taking a customer to work
at 7:45 AM, and saw a silver cigar-shaped object with a small pulsating
light in the middle, that stopped and hovered. Then it changed shape as
it flew forward and backward before vanishing into thin air. Sightings
date back to 1869, and have been reported regularly throughout the decades
since. http://www.burnleytoday.co.uk/ViewArticle.aspx?SectionID=12&ArticleID=654412
LIVERPOOL -- Four witnesses saw a black shape changing object on August
24 2003, at Glen Park Road Wallasey, Merseyside. It 7:30 PM, as they
sat in the garden of a friend's home enjoying the clear weather. One of
the party noticed a black spherical shaped object moving at high speed
faster than aircraft. Binoculars were brought from the house. The object
changed direction and its shape. They lost sight when it went over the
roofline. The object was fingernail size at arm's length. Nikki Limb will

2003, at 3:35 PM, I saw an object that didn't look like a plane or helicopter.
I never believed myself in stuff like this but I couldn't explain what
I saw. It was moving too slowly for a plane and it didn't have any lights.
The craft was shaped like a cigar and was gray in color. It wasn't very
high but I didn't hear any sounds and there was no trail. I thought it
was a Zeppelin, but I know now it wasn't. I watched for twenty seconds
but when it came near a cloud, it just disappeared.

- JORDAN A STRONG STRANGE LIGHT PASSED ABOVE MY CAR
-
- AQABA -- I was driving home from Aqaba on a desert road
south towards Amman on September 2, 2003, at 2:15 AM. It was so dark that
you can hardly see a car at this hour. Suddenly I saw a very strong white
light coming from behind in my mirror. The light was so bright; I could
hardly open my eyes. It kept coming closer and closer so fast. The car
shook as it passed over my car and I almost lost control as it passed.
I have never seen any thing that fast in my life. I wasn't able to see
the shape of the object as it disappeared so fast. I didn't hear any thing
but the sound of strong wind just like the sound of a storm. Peter Davenport

- CHILE - FORMER AIR FORCE COMMANDER CHASED UFOs
-
- General Hernan Gabrielli described his 1978, UFO encounter
to Alejandro Guillier stating: "We were flying two F-5s, dual training
craft, and we were returning to base from Mejillones to Antofagasta. I
suddenly detected a radar fault and saw a line that ran side to side on
the scope, and my student, Danilo Catalán, also detected
the same, and curiously enough it was the ground radar, which has a large
screen, that also indicated a radar fault. At that time we looked toward
[the part of the sky indicated on the radar screen] and we saw that UFO.
-
- It was visualized as a smoke-covered, half-deformed banana,
that was very large and in plain sight. It was tremendously large and surrounded
by a fumarole, which moved, in our same direction and at the same speed
as our aircraft. We approached it carefully. We were heading back from
Attack 1, which is a combat tactic involving gun cameras, no cannon, missiles
or anything else. So we approached it with caution. The UFO did not go
away, so we arrived in an instant at the same altitude, between 30,000
and 35,000. The F-5 fighter covers 10 nautical miles a minute, (20 kilometers
a minute).
-
- Alejandro Guillier: And this object you saw, how fast
did it vanish?
-
- Hernan Gabrielli: Unimaginable, in other words, thousands
of nautical miles a minute, because it vanished toward the west suddenly
and the screen cleared up. In other words, all three radar screens--the
ground radar, mine and Danilo's -- were operating normally. It wasn't just
a visual experience but a physical one as well, one that materialized on
the screen. I haven't the slightest idea, where they come from. At that
time there was also another sighting by a pilot near Calama, in a Vampire
aircraft. Vampires were wooden aircraft, and the fighter climbed to a high
altitude but could see from below that the UFO didn't move. However, as
the pilot climbed, he said, he could never reach it. They later sent out
a pair of fighters, then an F-5 and nothing, really. They climbed to fifty
something thousand feet, and had to turn back but they never reached it.
-
- Alejandro Gabrielli: And by the descriptions you recall,
general, was there any similarity with the sighting you had in Antofagasta?
-
- Hernan Gabrielli: No, because this one had another shape,
it had a shape...in other words, as though looking from below upward, the
pilots flying at the time said it was triangular. This was 1978, and latest
thing around was the Mach 3, SR-71, U.S. spy plane. This thing did not
move.
-
- Alejandro Guillier: Now, why does the FACH [Chilean Air
Force] handle all of this with such secrecy, because it has in fact appeared
before Congress, before parliamentarians, and everyone was deathly silent...there
were no such things. All they do is create more concern, because one says:
"Well, there must be something awful that the FACH, the senators and
the deputies don't want to discuss," and in this case they were all
quiet.
-
- Hernan Gabrielli: Look, it's not that there's an unwillingness
to talk, but since it is an almost intangible piece of information it cannot
be handled, it cannot be processed. The base commander is informed and
then the page is turned and normal activity resumes.
-
- Alejandro Guillier: Last weekend in Calama, a LAN airliner
was flying with the players of the Wanderers team for the big match against
Cobrelola and the pilot was forced to make a spectacular turn, diving to
avoid a collision with a UFO. Supposedly, there was no airplane there.
