- New York City/Brooklyn, New York A Dark Grey Cylinder
UFO
-
- Date: August, 1965
- Time: Approx: 8:30 p.m.
-
- Every now and then, my mother and I would take our dog
on his night walk to the Parade Ground, a flat park of baseball and football
fields. We went there because at the time it was being renovated, and the
fields were being partitioned and fenced. This gave us some confidence
to allow the dog off the leash to run free for a change.
-
- The Parade Ground is just across Parkside Avenue from
Prospect Park. It is August, 1965. I am ten years old.
-
- The dog was having a good run, and once we saw that he
wasn't about to run off completely, we relaxed and gazed upwards to view
the night sky, trying to find various constellations.
-
- In those days, the street lights in Brooklyn emitted
a white light, and not the beige-looking type now in use. If you went to
a park, you could get a decent view of the stars, but of course not anywhere
near the view if you were upstate in deep woods.
-
- Suddenly, as I looked to the left of me, I saw what I
first mentally equated as a submarine perhaps two story's off the ground
higher than the six story buildings beneath it.
-
- "Hey Mom, do you see what I see?" She did.
-
- Here comes this thing, slow and steady and silent. It
is huge. It is dark grey - not "battleship grey," but as grey
as can be before you rule it black. There is no shine to it.
-
- The front of it was round; I'd seen pictures of submarines,
and that is what came to mind. It is actually shaped more like a very long
medicine capsule.
-
- As it proceeded to float past us, we observed its right
side. It is solid. It is a perfect and very long dark grey cylinder, and
it just keeps coming very slowly and steadily.
-
- Obviously, we can't see the top of it, but so far, we
see that even though it is almost black, we sense a light behind the darkness.
This does not make sense, as my mother and I later reckoned. The best I
can come up with is that my eyes saw
- dark grey, but my mind knew the cylinder was emitting
light. Dark light!
-
- This was no blimp. No lights. No sound. No windows. No
gondola beneath. No visible markings. No nothing! It is just a cylinder
300 feet longer than the Intrepid aircraft carrier now docked in the Hudson
River going by!
-
- This thing was so huge, that even from the height above
me, (200 Feet?) it was clearly visible; visible enough to see even the
slightest imperfection clearly, if it had any.
-
- At the same time, we are not in any panic. We are unusually
serene. As if it's no big deal somehow. Maybe we were in a stupor beyond
awe.
-
- Finally, the end of the ship passes. I ran to see the
back of it. I see it is as round as the front with an opening in the center.
To this day, I'm not sure if it was square or arch-like. I am convinced
that at least the bottom of the opening in the back of it was flat, so
it was square or arched. I remember thinking that 3 buses could easily
drive inside at the same time. On the other hand, I've seen jets low to
the ground on approach to JFK Airport, and thought that "my"
cylinder was at least 3 times wider at the same height.
-
- This is the only time I experience apprehension. I worry
for a moment that whoever is flying this cylinder might see me.
-
- I ran to where I could see the other side of the cylinder.
It is exactly as perfect and unremarkable as the other side and the bottom.
-
- I have been struggling with my memories for years as
to whether there was a single tiny light, blue or red atop the opening
- in the back. I add this item, but I am not sure. Inside
the opening it is absolutely pitch black.
-
- The cylinder was in the order of 1200 feet long. I did
not know this at the time. When I saw the cylinder completely, it was "crossing"
Stratford Road, and the back of it was at Buckinham Road. The distance
between these streets on Caton Avenue
- according to street maps is about 1200 feet.
-
- I rejoined my mother in the original field, and we watched
this thing float over the Prospect Park police station, heading west
- until it faded from sight about half a mile west of the
Parade Ground. No newspaper, radio, or TV station mentioned it. For
- that matter, we didn't even tell my father!
-
- As I first accessed the Internet, I ran a search for
"cylinder UFO," and plenty of links came up. Even pictures! I
wasn't too surprised, because I know damn well what I saw was real, and
other people must have seen something as well.
-
- I told some close friends. They gave me the jaundiced
eye. I could hardly blame them. I guess its just one of those things one
must see to believe.
-
- Thank you to the witness for the excellent and interesting
report.

- Goose Air Base, Labrador UFO Follows KC-135 Aircraft
While Landing
-
- Date: Late September 1967
- Time: N/A
-
- Message: In 1967-68 I was stationed at Goose Air Base,
Labrador. I worked in Base Headquarters. During the lunch hour,
I didn't eat, because I was trying to lost some weight. I sat in the
Base Commander's office to answer the phone while he and his Secretary
went to lunch. I always read through the "Commander's Read File"
while I was there.
-
- In late September 1967, a KC-135 was landing, and a UFO
was picked up by radar, following the aircraft. It went behind the
aircraft as it touched down, then went over the top of the aircraft until
it turned off the active runway. Then, it stopped dead still and
went straight up at an estimated speed of 17,000 MPH. It was seen
as a bright light by men in the tower, and was on the radar of the Radar
Station on top of a mountain near the base.
-
- I never heard or read any other reports of this incident.
-
- Thank you to the retired serviceman for this very interesting
and important information. I am looking into this report.

- Number of witnesses: 1
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Star shape, well looked like a star.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: Hello, reading some
of your report's and noticed that two report's were similar to what I saw
back in the summer of 1991. The report's were under the heading's,
Paradise, California and Barrie, Ontario. Well this is what I saw
back then, I went out to my back garden to lock up for the night,
it was a lovely night with nearly a full moon, what caught my eye were
these clouds, lit up by the moon it was a lovely sight then I noticed this
moving star, it was traveling toward the cloud then disappeared above it,
so I stood there looking at the cloud and waiting for the star to
reappear on the other side. But no, this star reappeared the same
place as it entered, I had this funny feeling that this thing had seen
me, then all of a sudden it started zig zagging for about 30 seconds then
disappear. Well that's my sighting and it will be with me forever.
-
- Thank you to the witness for the report.

- Roosevelt Lake, Arizona Bigfoot Sighting
-
- Date: January 2001
- Time: Between 4:00 and 5:00 a.m.
-
- Message: This message is to Brian Vike in response to
sightings of BigFoot. And to contribute somehow to the on going research
by Robert. W. Morgan.
-
- In 2001 January, my husband and a fishing buddy were
fishing in the early morning about between 4 and five am up at Roosevelt
Lake which borders the Mogollon Rim. His buddy spotted it first and motioned
to my husband to look . There could be no doubt to what they saw. My husband
said a man about 9 feet tall and covered with dark brown hair was walking
less than half a mile away perhaps 100 yards the length of a foot ball
field or less above them on the ridge. He said the creature was walking
and taking huge strides. what was amazing was the Bigfoot for there
was no question here, was able to cover the entire ridge in less then five
minutes. also to note, there was no way for a human being to get up there
as there is no ingress or egress on that ridge. Since the creature or being
took huge strides unlike a human swinging it's arms and was covered in
dark brown hair and was high up on this mountain ridge, they had to conclude
it could not be a man . His buddy doesn't want to acknowledge it, but my
husband knows beyond a shadow of a doubt the early morning strider was
indeed Bigfoot. We just listened to a prior broadcast with Robert W. Morgan
on Art Bell from 2001, and on that show Mr. Morgon validates that Bigfoot
do reside around the Mogollon Rim in that very area where my husband was.
so that really validates it for us.
-
- Thank you very much to the people for this interesting
report.

- Harris County, Texas Lights In A Triangle Formation
-
- Date: March 11, 2005
- Time: Daylight
-
- Message: Hi Brian, I am a big fan of your website. I
check it daily for new pictures. In doing this I noticed that a lot of
people capture UFOs on film that they did not see until they developed
or downloaded the pictures. So I decided to try an experiment. I went out
into my backyard and took tons of pictures of the sky from all angles and
lighting situations (I have done this many times since.) Then I would examine
the pictures on my computer and zoom in on each area of sky to see if I
could see anything unusual. It paid off! I have one picture out of hundreds
that definitely shows something interesting. I saw something similar to
it on Budd Hopkins site (or a link from his site) the other day. It's 3
tiny lights in a triangle formation. You cannot see it in the original
picture without zooming in on it. Also, there appears to be a small blue
dot below the three lights. I thought maybe the blue dot was something
on the lens but it was not on any of the other pictures. The picture was
taken with a Kodak EasyShare DX4530 digital camera. I would like to send
you the picture but I can't figure out how to send an attachment on this
form. If you're interested let me know.
-
- Hi Brian,
-
- Here is the picture I told you about. I am sending
the original, one that's slightly enlarged, and then the original
with an enlarged inset of the lights. I am interested in hearing what you
think, particularly about the blue dot below the lights. In the original,
you really can't see anything without zooming in but I thought I would
send it anyway.
-
- Thank you to the person for sending along the report
and photos.

- Louisville, Kentucky Two Bright Orange Lights
-
- Date: January 10, 2006
- Time: Approx: 2:00 a.m.
-
- Message: Hello, my name is (name removed). I live
in Louisville, Kentucky, in the USA. I was getting out of my car one early
morning, around 2:00 am and I noticed two bright orange dots that appeared
the size of a star, but I had never seen stars that were like this orange,
let alone just one. One looked higher than the other. I stood outside looking
straight at those two bright orange dots for about 5-7 minutes and I started
to see that the lower orange dot started moving up a little and to the
right, then it went back to the left and went down a bit after that. Eventually,
the bottom orange dot went completely out of sight, but the top orange
dot stayed in the same place the entire time.
-
- Thank you to the witness for their report.

- San Jose City - Many Eyewitnesses To UFO Sighting
-
- Date: January 13, 2006
-
- Message: Dear Sir
-
- Four days ago and today again there were some strange
lights, like stars in the middle of the sky, about 13H00 local time this
Friday. TV and thousands of people looked at them. Some say they had movement.
I saw the lights but didn't see any movement. No official explanation in
the media.
- Additional Information:
-
- Brian, Yesterday night some government official said
the so called UFO, seen by thousands over San Jose City about 13H00 Friday
13, was in fact some meteorological stuff, a balloon or so. The same explanation
was given for similar lights seen five days ago in the same area of Costa
Rica.
-
- The TV journalists remembered that, anyway, many UFO
cases were reported in the last years here. Maybe you know about the big
UFO in Coter lake, north of CR, whose picture was taken without realizing
- a big disc with half of it under water - by a plane making photos for
mapping the country. I am not expert in this things, but if you want I
will look for some body to inform you properly about Costarican UFOs.
-
- By the way, mother and a sister saw, and another person
of the town also saw the two egg shaped metallic looking objects
about 16H30 local time, this took place some 20 years ago in Quesada,
100 km north of San Jose. Still under the light of the sun, things were
playing, jumping and moving, over a grass camp for cows, until they flew
up and away. In the very same area, about 55 years ago some children said
they had seen the "Virgin Mary", surrounded by light and about
30 years ago a farmer called the Red Cross and firemen because "a
plane in flames" had crashed in his farm. Not a single hair of Virgin
Mary or piece of the plane were found never.
-
- A few kilometers from this place some friends of mine
told me the dogs barked a lot one night. Next day they went to the cows
and found a circle about 10 meters of grass burned. No explanation.
-
- This place is not far from Arenal volcano, which exploded
in 1968 after centuries of sleeping. Also there, since months before de
huge explosion, neighbors of La Fortuna town saw many strange lights moving
over the cone shaped volcano.
-
- Thank you to the person for this information.

- Neath, UK Strange Object Caught On Film
-
- Date: January 13, 2006

-
- Message: I have a UFO photo taken on January 13, 2006.
The photo was taken over Neath in the United Kingdom and thats the town
where I live. Can you tell me how to send the pictures for you to view,
Thank you.
-
- Here are the photos. Brian when I took the photo I did
not see the object, I only noticed it when I put it up on my computer.
Have a look and tell me what you think. The photos were taken from my own
property, using my Pentax Digital camera. I was trying out the zoom. Thats
how I got this photo.

- Swansea, South Wales Looked Like Stars But Spun Around
-
- Date: January 14, 2006
- Time: 7:10 p.m.
-
- Number of witnesses: 1
- Number of objects: 3
- Shape of objects: Looked like stars but spun around.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: I was looking up
at the sky and noticed a number of stars twinkling. I noticed one star
flashing, rather than twinkling. As I focused on this 'star', I noticed
2 others both flashing. All 3 stars continued to flash. The object lowest
in the sky moved away, the 2nd one moved quickly after it, whereas the
3rd (which was highest in the sky) continued to flash. I got the feeling
that this had noticed me watching it. It began spinning and emanating a
reddish/pinkish light. The other two became visible (behind a house), and
all 3 objects were spinning simultaneously. Then this 3rd object moved
quickly after the other 2 and all 3 disappeared.
-
- I have never ever seen anything like this before!
-
- Thank you to the witness for the report.

- Oshawa, Over Lake Ontario More White Objects Witnessed
-
- Date: January 15, 2006
- Time: Approx: 10:45 a.m.
-
- Hi Brian, I have had numerous sightings of these unknown
white objects. Today on Sunday, January 15, 2006 at about 10:45 am at home
in Oshawa, over Lake Ontario. I again witnessed these high flying white
objects moving in different directions. The altitude at less,1000-2000
feet, at about half a mile to maybe a couple of miles. So to prove that
what I see is real, took some pictures. You be the judge to view, of what's
flying over our skies. One thing to note, the morning here is near zero
degrees-F.
-
- Thank you to the witness for the report and photos.

- Bo'ness, West Lothian, Scotland Bright Flickering Orange
Colored Light
-
- Date: January 15, 2006
- Time: Approx: 9:30 p.m.
-
- Message: I live in Bo'ness, a small town in West Lothian,
Scotland. My house stands in an elevated position overlooking, northwards,
the beginning of the estuary of the river Forth, which at this point, is
about 4 miles wide.
-
- Yesterday evening at about 9.30 pm my wife and I noticed
a bright flickering orange colored light in the sky. (we do not close
the curtains). It seemed as if something was ablaze but not exactly
similar to a fire. At fist I thought of a hot air balloon but the
flame (if that's what is was) was not concentrated upwards. It appeared
to be about 400 yards away (but that's a guess). I went out into the
garden. There was no noise, no engine sounds. It seemed to be
falling in an uncontrolled fashion but then moved upward, again, unevenly. It
did this several times but then I noticed it was rapidly moving northwards
away from us. across the river, and over the county of Fife. As it
was moving directly away, it was not possible to get any real idea of speed,
only due to the diminishing size did I assume if was moving away. It
rapidly disappeared. The sky was black with a light cloud cover. There
were no light on the river, no ships. We had a good clear uninterrupted
view.
-
- Anyone else in West Lothian or Fife see this ? Any
guesses as to what it might have been ?
-
- Thank you to the witness for their report.

- Country Harbour, Nova Scotia Object Bigger Then A
House
-
- Date: January 15, 2006
- Time: Approx: 1:00 a.m.
-
- Message: I am from Country Harbour Nova Scotia, Canada.
This past weekend, Sunday January 15, 2006 at around 1:00am a friend of
mine and his grand parents saw an object bigger then a house on a blueberry
hill close to their house. My friend says the object was the most beautiful
thing you could ever see. I believe he said it was an orange light. We
know it was not the moon because the weather was rainy. The reason they
got to see it was that his grandmother screamed while the guys were sleeping
and her scream woke them up. They thought something happened to the grandmother.
By the time they went to get binoculars the object was gone. There is also
a girl I know who said she has pictures of what she seen as well. I don't
know if it was in the same spot or not or the same day but I will find
out and be sure to tell you about it.
-
- Thank you to the person for relating this report.

- Country Harbour, Nova Scotia A Huge Golden Shiny Object
-
- Date: January 15, 2006
- Time: Approx: 1:00 a.m.
-
- Hello. My friend told me that I could send a report to
you about what I saw this Sunday. Sorry if my grammar is bad I don't usually
type perfectly. Anyway, my name is (removed), I live in Nova Scotia.
I was staying at my grandmothers for the night which is right across the
road from my house and they went to bed about 12:00 am and I stayed
up to watch TV for a little
- while until about 12:30. About 1:00 in the morning my
grandmother was in her room with her door shut and I heard " oh my
god (name removed) (who is my grandfather) she said, "look at
the moon it is so big"
-
- I went in to see what was so interesting and there
on the hill behind their house was this huge golden shiny and absolutely
beautiful round object about the size of an air balloon. We quickly
realized it wasn't the moon because the moon wasn't out,
- or something. I really wasn't paying attention.
Anyway, it was a round shape and we could see the bottom of it because
it was covered by the hill. You wouldn't believe how shiny and golden this
was. We live out in the middle of nowhere so we knew it wasn't any man
made object. We all went scrambling into the kitchen, looking for the binoculars
but didn't find them, so we went back to the room and it was gone. Nothing
was there just the hill. The object made no sound at all ,very quiet.
-
- Also when my grandfather was out back of his house back
in 1988 he saw a strange red object not much bigger than a beach ball hovering
above him and it made no sound at all either. He ran back to the house
not knowing what it was.
- He was panicked so he didn't want to stick around. Also
that very night in 1988 someone filed a report in the news paper of the
exact same red object that made no sound, it was spotted on the highway
and my grandparents never mentioned it to anybody!
-
- Well thank you for letting me tell somebody who is interested!
I also love your website! Thank you and take care!
-
- HBCC UFO Research note: I received another report from
a person who is the friend of this eyewitness who explained what they saw
in this report. To view the friends report, please visit:
