RECENT SKY ACTIVITY - 2 (as reported, 1/7/95 through 3/31/95) ============================================================= The following is the second (somewhat loose and informal) assemblage of -recent- reports from the Internet, of unusual things seen in the skies. In most cases, they should follow in chronological order. There are a few from the previous quarter that didn't get reported in time for the first Sky Activity Report. Sorry for taking so long to put this second one together. If you're aware of any reports not found here, please e- mail me at the address below. You'll notice I've included reports of objects described as bolides, or fireballs. As this explanation may or may not apply to all those so described, I've included them all. It is also likely that some of these reports describing something that is clearly aircraft of some type, are advanced military aircraft. Again, this file is a catch-all for everything recently reported. Hopefully, time and information from readers will help sort these out. I welcome your help. I would especially be interested in someone having the time and facility to compare this approximate 12-week period with other similar periods in the recent past, in terms of number/frequency/quality of sighting reports not only on the Internet, but in the mass media as well. Jackson Donovan <jdonovan@is.net> ============================================================= "...There will be a significant increase of UFO activity preceding the Night of Lights in the following countries. Russia, United States, Canada, Mexico, Ukraine. In some of these countries, it has already begun...." (from Night of Lights - 2, 11/20/94) "...In your mind, there is one question above all others. When? When are they returning? Be assured that it is not a question of "IF," but "WHEN." ...Before this time, there will be ever-increasing acts of contact. They will begin slowly, so as not to panic anyone, and increase in both frequency and degree, of revelation... There has been a noticeable lack of UFO activity in the last year and a half. Do not be fooled into thinking they have left or lost interest. This is merely the calm before the storm...."

Date: 14 Feb 1995 19:21:14 GMT Message-ID: <3hqvra$ou@news.xs4all.nl> Summary from a daily dutch newspaper (De Telegraaf), 14 febru- ary 1995. Almere sighting. 2 Woman are walking with their dogs in the evening at 19.40 hours. It is the 21th of November 1994. One of the ladies said, "it was a sphere and it just looked like a sunset". Dozens of people also from Amsterdam and Zeewolde witnessed the same object. Most people thought it being the moon and payed no attention to it. The OPUS (Onderzoek (= investigati- on) Parapsychology, Ufos, Spiritual) foundation collected all data and concluded this week that it was no blimp, constructi- on work light or a ball lightning but a real ufo. That sphere was seen above waters, trees and residential areas. It showed remarkable behaviour. Initially it hoovered, moved from left to right, and one family saw it spinning around before it shot off into the air at high speed. The KNMI (Dutch meteorological intitution) could not explain this sighting. Nor could a foundation (De Koepel) in Utrecht which is also specialized in ufo sightings. According specialists so many people watching the same ufo is very rare.

Wilson *** COPYRIGHT 1995 by Joseph B. Wilson UFO seen in Kingsley Michigan The following description is drawn from my own interviews of the people, not from newspaper reports. I think it's kind of interesting. When Tracey Cedja, of Voice Road, just east of Kingsley, Michigan, first saw the object at approximately 6:30 AM Wednesday, December 21st, 1994 she had just let her dog out for it's morning constitutional. She didn't see anything at first, but the dog sensed something. Instead of going onto the lawn to relieve itself it stayed on the porch, jumped, then ran back inside and hid under the coffea table. Then Tracey, looking to the south east, saw a bright light come down out the sky and remain motionless about level with the tops of the trees. It appeared to be three times the size of her storage barn, which would make it about 60 feet in diameter. Since the tree-line behind her house is about 200 yards away, the object must have been much larger. She said it was emitting bright light of different white and blue hues, but the object itself was primarily a blue-gray colour with lightning like streaks flashing through it. She went inside to get her new camcorder, but couldn't figure out how to work it so she called her neighbour. Mike Stelter, at about 7:00. He didn't see anything from his house, but came over and saw the object from her porch. He went back, got his own camcorder, came back and began video taping the object. While he was filming Tracey called the state police. State Trooper Glen Guldner responded and arrived at about 7:30 AM. His official report states "undersigned met with comp. at the above location and was informed that the object was still visible. Officer went with comp. to her back porch and was pointed out a bright light in the sky, time was approx. 7:45 AM, clear skys. Upon looking at the light with binoculars a cylindrical mass, possible gray in colour was observed. On the underside of the object a large amount of individual lights were seen that appeared to be connected by a softer light running through them.... Undersigned watched the object for approx. 20 minutes before it appeared to get further and further away. Object could still be seen when officer left the area. During this time it was noted that the object did not just stay level it could be observed rotating back and forth and at several times tipped vertically and then back down. Another smaller object could be seen just to the east of the larger object however no shape or colour could be seen just a bright light.... It should be noted that at approx. 7:50 AM three military type aircraft flew through the area. as each aircraft approached the object the lights went off then back on as the plane passed." Tracey told me that Trooper Guldner noticed and showed her a red knob on the top of the object. Although Voice Road is the location of radar equipment and sensors used by the Air Traffic Control Center for Traverse City Airport, local military and civilian authorities denied that there were any jets in the area. Minnesota Air Traffic Control Centre contradicted that statement. Authorities there said that during peace time they do not have a man watching the console at all times. They said the three aircraft were picked up on radar, however they were transponding signals which helped the radar pick them up. They did not pick up the object, but stated that an object in the air that was not sending out a signal would be hard to be noted. Major Jerold Foehl, public affairs officer at Camp Grayling, claimed there were no military jets from anywhere in Michigan or from a base in Toledo, Ohio, in the air Wednesday morning. Local astronomers and meteorologists theorized that the object could have been a planet, possible Venus or Jupiter, enhanced by atmospheric conditions. However, Dick Cookman, astronomy instructor at Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City said he was surprised that an image as large as the one videotaped did not show planetary detail such as the bands of Jupiter or the planets moons. Ed Gildy of Manton was driving north on Baxter Road when he, his father and mother, all saw the object in the north eastern sky. Since Tracey Cedja was looking to the south east, this seems to dispute the planet theory. I've known Ed and his parents for over two years and consider him to be a sober, reliable person, not prone to flights of fantacy or exaggeration. Approximately a dozen other people reported sighting some strange object in the sky on and around December 21st. I don't know what they saw, but it certainly caused some excitement and made my life interesting for a while. Obviously, this is just another case of swamp gas. <G> Joe Wilson ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Newsgroups: alt.ufo.reports Path: news1.is.net!news.sprintlink.net!cs.utexas.edu!utnut!nott!cunews!freenet.carleton.ca!FreeNet.Carleton.CA!aw560 From: aw560@FreeNet.Carleton.CA (Mike McLarty) Subject: MERINT (UFO) Report - East Pennant, N.S.

There has been a recent rash of sightings in Western and Northwestern Michigan in the past four months. It seems as if something major is transpiring. I called the parties involved in the sightings myself, and I spoke with the Michigan State trooper who also witnessed one of the events. I can honestly say that these people are very credible, and very sure that what they saw was nothing they had ever seen before in their lives. I asked all of them if the sighting could have been planet Venus, or maybe a helicoptor or airplane, and their reaction was definitely very clear - that they witnessed some type of manufactured craft (either made by US government or extraterrestrial beings) that could not possibly be mistaken for a planet or natural phenomena. But you can read the police reports yourself and make your own decision. Eric **I WILL NOT GIVE THE NAMES, ADDRESSES, and PHONE NUMBERS OF THE COMPLAINANTS. I WISH TO RESPECT THEIR PRIVACY.

He said they were on N. Long Lake Rd. in the vicinity of Straight Rd. and the object was off to the Southeast. The driver, (name witheld), age 22 stopped the pickup truck and all three got out to get a closer look. As they got out and watched the object, it sped off from it's hovering position in a lift off angle similar to a helicopter. Complainant checked with the Traverse City FAA Tower to see if any such plane or balloon was in the area at that time of night, but the man at FAA said he was too busy to talk about such a thing and hung up. INTERVIEW DRIVER OF VEHICLE: Undersigned officer talked to (name witheld), who was the driver of the pickup truck that evening, and she related that she wasn't able to get a good look at the object as she was watching the road. She did stop and within moments of them getting out to see it hovering over the corn field it sped off. The other passenger (name withheld), age 16 wasn't available to comment. OBJECT IN THE SKY (U.F.O): The object was described as tri-angle shaped object with the lower or bottom having blue lights emitting from it and shining downward. At the peak of the object it had a red beacon light. The strangest thing that (names withheld) both said about the object was that it lifted off without any roar or sound of any kind.

Well, although I am not a professional regarding this field. I can't help but think that this configuration of lights was/is nothing more than the underbelly lights of an aircraft...

The normal aircraft 'light-show' is red, port wingtip - green, starboard wingtip - white, tail with optional rotating reds on belly and upper surfaces. However, the rotating reds often appear stationary from beneath, many airliners have floodlight illumination on the fin which is left on along with landing/taxy lights below 10,000 feet to enhance visibility. More likely is the lighting used for air to air tanking from something like a KC-135 which will have a variety of lights both for aircraft guidance and brighter ones for damage inspection etc in the case of a tanking mis-hap. Tanking is normally done at moderate altitudes but the aircraft could still be inaudible depending on met conditions and upper winds etc. The most spectacular lights can often be just a plain old aircraft. Living near Bentwaters/Woodbridge in the UK I once saw an AWACS lit up like Christmas taking off through layers of very low stratus, the effect was pure Spielberg.

Headline :- Ringway jet in UFO terror A BRIGHTLY-lit UFO suddenly appeared in front of a British Airways' plane flying to Ringway. The two terrified BA pilots, fearing a disaster, ducked in the cockpit of the Boeing 737 with 60 people on board, which at the time was at 13,000 feet above the Pennines approaching Manchester. Captain Roger Wills, who was in command of the flight from Milan, and first officer Mark Stuart, have made reports to the Civil Aviation Authority and a top-level inquiry is underway today. The pilots said in their reports that they saw a "triangular-shaped flying object" in front of their plane. They immediately checked with air traffic control at Ringway, and were told there was nothing on the radar other than their own aircraft. The pilots then saw the UFO travel at great speed down the right hand side of their own airliner. Highly-experienced Captain Wills and first officer Stuart, 24, did not initially report what they had seen, as they feared being ridiculed by their colleagues. But the BA management was informed, and following set procedures, reports with sketches have been sent to the Joint Air Miss Working Group, which is part of the CAA. Both pilots refused to speak to the Manchester Evening News, but one of their colleagues said: "They are high-grade, sensible guys". "Everyone's talking about what they saw and it is right that it is reported, so the experts can try to establish what it was". Despite the drama, which the passengers knew nothing about, the plane landed safely at Ringway at 7pm on January 6. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Newsgroups: alt.ufo.reports From: David@holodeck.demon.co.uk (David Somen) Subject: British Airways / UFO near miss over Pennines, Uk.

Terrified fliers Roger Willis and Mark Stuart ducked down in the cockpit when the brightly lit mystery craft appeared only yards in front of them at 13,000ft over the Pennines. But as they waited for the deadly impact, they saw the triangular UFO flash down the right hand side of their Boeing 737 and disappear. Captain Willis and First Officer Stuart immediately checked with air traffic control. But they were told theirs was the only plane on the radar. Their flight from Milan, Italy to Manchester Ringway was 17 minutes from touchdown when the "alien" invader zoomed past. The Boeing landed safely, with the 60 passengers unaware of the drama. Sketches ------------- At first, the pilots didn't tell pals about the UFO, incase of ridicule. But BA bosses were informed and they sent a detailed log and sketches to the Joint Air Miss Working Group, which is part of the Civil Aviation Authority. An inquiry was launched into the January 6th incident. But a CAA spokesman said yeterday: "We have not been able to trace the aircraft involved." Sensible ------------ The pilots refused to comment. A colleague said: "They are high grade, sensible guys. Everyone's talking about what they saw." Theries that the UFO could have been a new military aircraft were discounted by experts. A spokesman for Jane's Defence Weekly said: "We know of nothing at all being developed that could account for this sighting." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "B.P.Williams" <pom5bpw@humus.ucc.hull.ac.uk> Newsgroups: alt.alien.visitors Subject: Re: Report in Daily Express Date: Fri, 10 Feb 1995 22:58:20 +0000 Organization: The University of Hull, UK Message-ID: <Pine.SUN.3.91.950210225310.11477A-100000@humus> Hi there, Just thought I'd let you know that some friends of mine was on the flight.

I unfortunately missed most of the interview so I would ask anyone who may have listened in to upload any information they remember to this group. [Key] NC = Nicky Campbell (Radio show host) GS = Graham Shepard (Former British Airways pilot) NC "Back now to British Airways pilots & UFOs. Graham Shepard former British Airways pilot talking to me this afternoon. Its been really interesting hearing about these encounters with UFOs. There have been others, you've been involved in another, briefly what happened." GS "Yes we were returning from Gibraltar in the evening March 1967, and right ahead of us we sighted a brilliant light which was double the - triple the magnitude of Sirius at its best, and we tried to identify it on the star chart. While we were doing so the light started moving across the sky ahead of us and was changing colour, blues & greens & reds, very iridescent colours & then started airobatting in the sky at phenomenal speeds." NC "Airobatting?" GS "Figures of eight, it was just zipping around in the sky. It was flying figures of eight & loops. Accelerations that were quite beyond humans." NC "It came from the planet show-off." GS "It was putting on a show, it really was & then from nowhere another one joined it. There were two of them. They went on doing this for about five minutes, drifting away out over the bay of Biscay & it was a brilliantly clear night so there was no mistaking." NC "Confirmed by radar?" GS "We asked Bordeaux radar, military radar at that time if they had any traffic and they confirmed they had traffic ten miles to the west of us which by that time is exactly where they were." NC "And of course you have to make application to be able to do that don't you, official application to notify the aviation authorities that we are going to be ten miles to the west of this British European airways aircraft. It all has to be done through official channels." GS "Of course." NC "There was one in Manchester recently wasn`t there. There was another incident, you wern`t involved but you know all about it. Very quickly what happened there." GS "Yes this was a very close approach by a UFO and January 6th it was a 737 returning to Manchester and the crew reported it, they actually went into official print. So this now is in the public domain, not only the investigation but the conclusions of that investigation by the Joint Amiss Working group will have to be made public. My main concern is the safety aspect & quite honestly I think it should be a public concern at the safety aspect of these close approaches has never ever been addressed. Its the instinctive reactions of the pilots who have no briefing, no background, no information. I have collected a number of reports now totalling ten very good reports of evasive action being taken by pilots with injuries being caused to passengers and to cabin crew & aeroplanes having to land at midpoint because they have taken evasive action with a close approach of a UFO." NC "So maybe the cover up or the semi cover up by the airlines is not helpful at all." GS "Its not helpful and I think there should be a mature and informed discussion about the whole thing and the safety implications of pilot reaction to a close approach of these things. I apologise for any misspelt words, locations, organisation names. If any are recognised by any of you out there perhaps you will upload an amendment to this group. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Paul Dixon <dixonp@dice2> Newsgroups: alt.alien.visitors Subject: Report in Daily Express Date: Tue, 7 Feb 1995 12:34:10 +0100 Organization: DESY Message-ID: <Pine.SGI.3.91.950207123313.16652A-100000@dice2> Here's an article that appeared in the Daily Express (British newspaper to all you Americans out there) on 28th January 1995. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ UFO BUZZED OUR AIRLINER SAY BA PILOTS A British airways jet was buzzed by a fast moving UFO it was claimed yesterday. An inquiry was launched into the pilots' report that the brightly lit triangular object hurtled towards them before veering off down the side of the airliner. They instinctively ducked before calling air traffic control. They were told that there were no other planes in the area and at first did not officially report the incident for fear of being ridiculed. The Boeing 737 heading for Manchester's Ringway airport from Milan with 60 people on board was at 13,000ft over the Pennines when the pilots had their close encounter on January 6th. Now, on the evidence of captain Roger Wills and 1st officer Mark Stuart, reports have been sent to the Civil Aviation Authority's Joint Air Miss Working Group. The pilots would not comment but a collegue said: "They are high grade, sensible guys. Everyone's talking about what they saw and it is right that it is reported, so the experts can try to establish what it was." CAA spokesman Chris Mason said any suggestion that the object was a UFO was "purely speculative" but the investigation could last 6 months. He said: "A very small proportion of near-miss situations involving untraced aircraft remain unsolved. "They often turn out to be air balloons or small private aircraft. A glider, for example would not show up on radar." But ex-CAA man Arnold West, now director of the British UFO Research Association, said: "We know of several spottings of triangular flying objects over the past few years - the design varies but the wedge shape is common." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: phk@halcyon.com (Phil Kramer) Newsgroups: alt.alien.visitors Subject: Big Explosion in McMinnville, Tennessee Date: Tue, 24 Jan 1995 23:32:11 Organization: Northwest Nexus Inc. Message-ID: <phk.45.00AFA3D6@halcyon.com> The following is a transcription of a brief segment of the Laura Lee Show from KVI, Seattle. Laura is interviewing Peter Davenport of the National UFO Reporting Center. The date is Saturday, 14 January, 1995. Earlier, I mistakenly identified the guest as Michael Strenek of MUFON Canada. Sorry! [This segment was preceded by discussion of a large number of sightings in Michigan] PD. Actually, it [the Michigan incident] was a prelude to something that took place just a week ago tonight out in McMinnville, Tennessee. I took a report about 9:27 pm. last Saturday night from the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency. TheyΓre based in Nashville. And interestingly, they had been directed by the US Air Force to the hotline out here in Seattle. Apparently - and you can rest, uh, more soundly tonight knowing that I apparently am the first line defense against exploding UFOΓs, because last Saturday night, there apparently was an *immense* explosion very near McMinnville, Tennessee -- thatΓs in Warren County, just east of Nashville -- that caused the Warren County SheriffΓs Office to be activated, the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency to be activated, people were launching aircraft to look for the fragments or fires or injuries or property damage. It apparently was quite an explosion. I received a seven-page fax from the TEMA -- Tennessee Emergency Management Agency -- and IΓve had a number of phone calls from a number of people about this, and it certainly took place. LL. Now, you were called because strange lights, explosions in the sky -- but do you personally think it had something to do with a UFO, or couldnΓt it have been some other phenomenon? Someone set off a bomb, or a small meteor came down, uh, thereΓs many causes of explosions. PD. Uh, thatΓs true -- a good point, and I skipped over part of the -- the -- the most important part of the story. The explosion occurred several minutes after the Warren County SheriffΓs Office emergency dispatch was *swamped* with UFO calls. People were seeing saucers, they were seeing bat-like or triangular ships. And one of the objects that was seen descending to earth in Warren County, Tennessee, was a bright cylinder that was positioned vertically, that was seen by -- from many vantage points. I received a map showing the lines of sight from, uh, perceivers or witnesses to this event. Lines of sight from people who saw it. The object descended to the ground level, after which there was an *immense* explosion -- a white flash, and blue burning fragments of material were seen thrown high into the sky over McMinnville. LL. Did you ask a scientist how do you get a blue burning fragment? I mean -- red hot, we know about. You can get blue flames or white flames, but blue flames, could you even guesstimate the temperature, therefore the kind of material used - - you can begin to piece these little facts together? PD. YouΓre full of good questions tonight, because thatΓs the reason I said "blue burning fragments". Because exactly as you state, the temperature is a function -- er -- the, the incandescence, the color of the burning fragment is a result of its temperature. And the fact that it was blue makes it very mysterious. The, uh, I was told by TEMA that the airport manager of the McMinnville, Tennessee airport, after he saw the explosion, jumped in his own airplane, and took off, and searched the area for about six minutes, canΓt -- not believing his eyes that there wasnΓt some kind of visible damage or destruction or fire or something in process there. LL. So, nobody found any damaged buildings, nobody found a hole in the ground, ah, um, nothing. PD. ThatΓs my understanding. LL. It was just -- and nobody found fragments. PD. ThatΓs my understanding. LL. You donΓt know if some government agency, or *somebody* came in. Or do you? PD. Well, I do. And weΓve had -- we have a number of investigators to whom I have handed this information out in that area. As you know, the, the hotline here, the National UFO Reporting Center does not have its own investigators. All we are is a clearing house for information. We take in reports and we try to turn that infromation around on short notice to investigators or interested parties -- ah, in this case, out in that area, that neck of the woods. And weΓve had a number of investigators skulking around Warren County trying to find out whatΓs going on. The one thing we do know, uh, reasonably certainly at this point, is there have been some federal investigators circulating in that area -- we presume theyΓre federal -- telling all of the authorities to say nothing about this event -- for what reason, I donΓt know, but it comes from a very, very good source. LL. You never know, I guess, when the next Roswell will happen, and you never know when itΓs gonna happen in your own back yard, is that what youΓre trying to tell us here? PD. Well I donΓt know. I may have seemed to have implied that, but itΓs only inadvertent, because frankly, I really donΓt know what happened there, except to say that the events that were described *before* the explosion apparently are very similar to what was reported just three or four days earlier out in the heart of Michigan. In point of fact, I took, six nights running, Laura, I took telephone calls all times of night and day, uh, about bat- like or delta-shaped ships. It started on the first of January that was my, uh, New YearΓs greeting.

Apparently dozens of people Between Montana and Seattle had seen a lite in the sky and the news said that rescue workers had been dispatched in the Spokane area, but the FCC said that it was a meteor and searchs were called off. The news didn't say which way the object was traveling, E to W or W to E, but Spokane, is roughly in the middle of the two places from which it was seen. Seems kind of odd that they would think that something had crashed near Spokane when it is between the two farthest points from where it was viewed? I would appreciate any more information anyone could give me. Did anyone happen to view this? It didn't make our local news in N. California, not tonite at least. Thanks, Gabriel --------------------------------------------------- Hello, I didn't see the comet-like light green orb passing through the sky this past Friday night but I personnally did one a few months ago at about midnight. It came out of the west and went down in the east, perhaps somewhere in the area of the Sapphire Mountains in Montana. (I live just south of Missoula, MT) Many people around here saw the light green orb approx. 8 p.m. last FRiday night here in Montana. It was reported in the Sat. or Sun. edition (if not both) of the Missoulian newspaper (published in Missoula MT). It was traveling west to east and seemed to go down east of Bonner MT (I think) -- either that or it went beyond the horizon to the east of this area. I think these sitings are just 'space junk' coming down. There is a lot of debris in space from all the misc. equip and such that have been sent up the past thirty years or so and eventually it has to come down. Most of it will probably come down at sea, but some of it will come down over land masses. I hope this helps. from: Lu Terry snowy@selway.umt.edu at The University of Montana ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From alt.alien.visitors Fri Mar 10 09:39:57 1995 From: an170476@anon.penet.FI Newsgroups: alt.alien.visitors Subject: UFO Sightings near Fairfield, CA Continue Date: 9 Mar 1995 11:56:16 -0000 Message-ID: <9503091107.AA21524@anon.penet.fi> (comments in parenthesis are mine) From the Fairfield Daily Reporter, February 15, 1995: Mystery UFO: Citizens stand by story of unidentified flying object by Charlie Goodyear FAIRFIELD, CA -- Some people just have to believe. Following reports in January of an unidentified flying object, officials at Travis Air Force Base declared it a case of mistaken identity, saying the object was actually a blimp advertising tax services. (That sounds logical...?!) But not everyone is convinced. All of the people contacted for this article were adamant that what they saw on two January nights was definitely not a blimp, and not easily explained. "I'm not a believer in UFOs. I never had been. But what I saw made me think twice," said one Fairfield woman who swears she and her two teenage daughters experienced a close encounter. "I was driving home from Benicia on Jan. 20 around 7:30 p.m. after dropping off a friend, and as I headed east on Interstate 680 I noticed something all lit up," she said. "I took the Rio Vista turnoff and noticed it again near the Budweiser plant. At that point I got a little freaked out." Driving home through Suisun City, she saw the object again near Railroad Avenue and Sunset Boulevard. And when she pulled into the driveway of her home off Travis Street, the object, brilliantly let, was floating above the neighborhood. "At this point I'm talking to myself. I said 'This is something the girls need to see' and I went inside to get my daughters," she said. The woman's two daughters, 15 and 17, were inside the home. The 15-year-old had thought she heard a shot around the time her mother pulled into the driveway. The teen called 911. "I had heard a boom and thought it was a gunshot. But my sister had her earphones on and thought it was something else. When my mother came in, I went outside with her and there it was with two bright lights, like headlights on a car," she said. Mother and daughter followed the object back over to a clearing near Railroad Avenue. It didn't make a sound. We rolled down the windows and we didn't hear anything like a plane or a helicopter. And it moved too swiftly for it to be a blimp," the younger daughter said. When the two returned to the house, the 17-year-old daughter noticed the object following them back. "I screamed. It looked like it was coming right at us. It was so low and it turned sharply. It was really scary to me," she said. Two 19-year-old ROTC students had a similar encounter just a few days earlier on Jan. 16. "We were coming back from Lucky's on East Wigeon Way and we spotted it out near Lawler Ranch and Grizzly Island. We both got a little scared. It seemed like it was following us. "What convinced me it wasn't a blimp is that it moved too agile, too swiftly," one student said. The teens were significantly impressed and made a drawing of the object and told their ROTC instructor, Col. Daryl Nelson. Nelson, however, was skeptical and remains so. (Surprise!) "I wouldn't put any credence in what they're saying," he said. "I'm sure they ^^^ believe what they're saying. But kids at this age get excited by these sort of things. And there was no physical evidence to support their claim." Still all of the observers insist they know what they saw. "I'm going to keep a camera in my car and keep an eye out when I pass by Grizzly Island, especially at night," the woman added. (Hopefully many people in this area will start carrying a camera in their car, loaded with ISO 1600 film! The paper has a drawing of a long teardrop-shaped object with a bright light on the top and what appears to be a beam shining at an angle below the object.) (I know someone else who was followed home by a brightly lit UFO a year earlier. She was extremely frightened. I have also seen several UFOs in this area, one of which I described earlier in an interview entitled "Travis AFB UFO Sighting. The UFOs definitely exist and they are not blimps! More likely, IMO, at least some of the UFOs were built for the Air Force and are being stored and tested near Travis AFB. Perhaps others UFOs are observing these new anti-gravity craft piloted by humans. The fact that the UFOs are not particularly stealthy suggests to me that the government is preparing us for the existence of this exciting, revolutionary technology! -- David) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: r.kita <74763.700@CompuServe.COM> Newsgroups: alt.paranet.ufo Subject: UFO Sighting - Doylestown, PA Date: 26 Jan 1995 15:05:51 GMT Message-ID: <3g8dof$9kp$1@mhade.production.compuserve.com> Location: USA, PA, Doylestown Date: 22 January 1995 Time: 17:30 EST (5:30) Description: Apparent reconfirmation at the sighting at Somers Point, NJ.

I recently spent a week in Roswell and had not thought about UFO's until my brother and nephew walked in the front door excited about having seen a UFO. I questioned them as to what it looked like and they explained that as they were trying to figure out what it was they were looking at, when it disappeared from sight. They said the UFO just vanished and that they could not locate anything in the sky remotely resembling what they had just seen. This occurred on Wednesday Jan. 25,1995. A few years ago my older brother also related his UFO story to me. He told me that around 1986, while working overtime one saturday, that he and a co-worker were loading gravel unto a dump truck and that two UFO's ( I forgot the shapes of both stories) were "cruising" very slowly side by side overhead. He watched for a couple of minutes and turned to see if his co-worker had seen the same thing, the co-worker replied in spanish that yes he too, had seen the UFO. I've heard of other UFO sightings and I'm starting to believe that there is something going on there. I really think that Roswell would be a great place to set up camp and watch for UFO's. Well, just thought I would give my two cents worth.

Date: Mon, 30 Jan 95 22:05:56 -0500 Message-ID: <hYx66Bk.rudder@delphi.com> Well.. I have never been in this particular area before, but it was suggested that perhaps I should place a post here. Friday am, at 0045, 27 Jan,1995 I was flying my aircraft from Orlando, Fl to Sarasota, FL. I had one passenger in the back asleep, and on riding the right seat awake. I was approx 30 nauticle miles out of Sarasota, inbound on the 220 radial.. I was at 3000' the night was clear, no clouds, unlimited visability. My ADF (low Freq) radio began "pulsing" the squelch circuit.. instead of the ordinary "rushing" sound, it began a pulsing "quieting" routine. I didn;t pay too much attention to it. Shortly after that, my aircraft experienced a buffeting. I immediately looked down at the engine gauges on the instrument panel. As soon as I looked down, the cockpit was brilliantly lit up with a greenish/white light. I looked up, and out of my 11 o'clock I saw an orangish/red object, roundish, but longer than it was wide, maybe 1/4 mile away, and appeared about the size of a semi trailer. Appx. 50' in length. This object had twin trails, merging into one distinct trail extending about 1/2 mile behind the object at all times. The object crossed my flight path, descending rapidly. My 1st impression was the flaiming fuselage of an airplane crashing into Sarasota.... This object leveled out perfectly without an arc... lust went from a rapid descent to straight and level!!! It leveled off before reaching the city limits, proceeded across Sarasota, out over Sarasota Bay and then just was gone! Like it just shut itself off!! I immediately radioed Tampa Approach Control and reported what I had seen.. I tracked the object for about 5 seconds or so. Tampa Approach had NOTHING on Radar.. NOTHING! Something THAT big and they didn't even see it.. I was a bit shaken, even did a circle out over the bay wondering if I would spot anything.. My awake passenger saw the flash as it went by us.. a few expletives were stated at the time.. it was close!! Anyhow.. I telephone Tampa Approach via telephone later that day, got the Supervisor.. he helped me place the time at 12:45am.. I am currently attempting to secure a copy of the Air Traffic Control tapes from that morning. I was asked by the Supervisor to contact MUFON, which I did.. have received telephone calls from the State Director, and was interviewed this afternoon. That's basically where I got the idea to bring it to the Internet.. and to check out this Newsgroup. Also am hoping maybe someone else may have seen or talked to someone who saw something Early Friday morning.. I am NOT saying I saw a spacecraft, or anything like that.. I am saying, after being in the Military, and having an extensive background with weapons and the like, I have NEVER, EVER seen anything even close to that! And it was not "Falling" as it instantly changed attitude from descent to straight and level.. this object was on a due East to West corse... It was NOT an aircraft, rocket, meteor, etc.. It "flew" like nothing I have seen, and defied the natural rules of flight and aerodynamics that I, or any other pilot know of! Think what you will.. I know I have never seen anything remotely close to this.. I will continue to say "I have no idea what that was!" I do know that it affected my aircraft BEFORE it passed in front of me.. and when it did pass in front of my aircraft, it produced NO WAKE TURBULENCE??!!! That bothered me even more, after I thought about it.. Well.. so you know.. that's about it for me.. If anyone in the area honestly saw, or knows of someone else who saw something that morning, I would greatly appreciate a response here.. Thanks.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Newsgroups: alt.paranet.ufo Message-ID: <0098B8DA.CD1B573E.1@ACAVAX.LYNCHBURG.EDU> Date: Sun, 5 Feb 1995 23:43:54 EST From: ZAC <elston@ACAVAX.LYNCHBURG.EDU> Subject: news anyone from florida here.

Message-ID: <3h6cke$e32@mailer.fsu.edu> Was "Re: bolide observation over Florida Panhandle" I posted a couple of queries concerning some bolide observations during the Superbowl game and so far have not received any comments from the net. I thought I would change the title slightly and see if anyone can answer the question as to whether there should be any meteor showers that have been going on during the past week? Sunday evening (Jan 29) there was a really big and bright something that burned in the vicinity of Tallahassee. I have discussed this with about a dozen people in the area and may be able to come up with a trajectory, though the data are very approximate. Does anyone have a neat program that takes data such as angles and times and does a least squares on position? It wold have to have some weighting function as the uncertainies vary by observer. This object was so bright as to illuminate fields like daylight when it presumably exploded overhead. Ball of fire spitting pieces and then kablooey. Some heard a low rumbling like distant thunder after about 30 sec to a minute, but it was not obvious that this was not from jets in the Gulf. My reason for inquiry though is that there were several observations on Sunday extending through Wednesday. Most of these were in early evening through midnight. Also, a TV station called me this morning and asked what I knew about a big meteor looking object that was seen in south Florida. I have perused a couple of texts and do not see any know showers for this date.

For anyone who has ever flown an aircraft, I experienced the buffeting felt just prior to entering a stall. Not your standard turbulence bumping or trouncing, but a buffeting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Rudder <rudder@delphi.com> Newsgroups: alt.ufo.reports Subject: Re: Personal Recent Sighting???

If anyone is interrested, let me know and I'll be happy to post here. Please be advised, correspondence I do recieve may be included in whatever I do release, if I am so asked. I did get a rather curios reply to the post in this group from someone at GSFC.NASA.GOV... Still checking that one out. At work today, my co-worker showed me a section of our local Sunday Newspaper.. an article about several lights seen in the sky over the weekend. These people tried to blow it off as being the Aurora Borealis.. "The Northern Lights" must have been on full power, to show up all the way down here in Florida.. and odd that it was a selective viewing for people only in the Tampa Bay area! (NOT!) Lastly.. The reason for the MUFON contact seems to be a MUFON member up north of me had a sighting of what may be the identical object I witnessed. I was give the gentleman's phone number and will be in contact with him, at his request, to compare notes. Again.. anyone with any further info, or questions, please feel free to let me know.

As we were driving home I noticed a flying object just to the south of the grid. It was travelling in a north by northeast direction. It was travelling very slowly for a flying object. The object then proceeded in the direction at approximately 50 mph. This is very slow for a plane to be travelling and it was only about 300 to 400 feet above the ground. The object was flying over my uncle's cattle. The object was followed by us and then it made a quick northwest direction turn. The object continued to fly in that direction, but the turn was similar to a 45 degree angle. This object flew off in this direction. I figure we got to within about one mile away from it before it took off in the opposite direction. I've never seen a plane do that sort of turn before and I don't believe it could unless it flared up and this object didn't flare up and turn. It is possible it could be a gyrocopter or a helicopter, but the turn it made was too sharp for a copter, I feel. Q. When/where exactly did you see this object? A. One mile southeast of my farm on 95-01-29 at 7 p.m. We followed it east on my grid one mile and we stopped and watched it. The object would have crossed the grid I was on, right where I was sitting when I decided to watch the object. The object then continued northeast for about one mile and then it made its sharp turn and continued northwest. Q. How long did you see this object? A. About five minutes. Q. Can you give me a description of the object? A. No, not really. It had red lights, blue lights and white lights. Q. How many lights would it have had? A. Six for sure, two of each. The blue lights were flashing irregularly. Q. How bright was the light? A. Just like regular aircraft lights. Q. Any shape of the object? A. No, that's the bad part. Q. How many objects? A. One. Q. Altitude of the object was? A. About 200 metres. Q. What color was the object? A. I couldn't make it out. Q. Did it make any sound? A. I never opened a window and it was too windy. Q. What was the condition of the sky? A. It was clear, but it was at dusk so we couldn't see stars yet. Q. Who all saw the object? A. My wife ########################, my children. Also of course myself. Q. Anything else that stuck out about this object? A. We don't get many planes that low at that time of day in this area. Also, the unusual turn that this object made. It was like a 45 degree angle from northeast to northwest. Signed: Cst.

Some people got it on video and it was played on the local news. Unfortunatly (like most recorded sightings) it was difficult to make much out of the video image other than a bright moving light.

It took place in the town Muskegon (where last year there were MAJOR sightings -- as a matter of fact it was so big that it was on the shows Encounters, and A Current Affair (if I remember correctly). I know I got a couple of newspaper clippings on the sightings (last year's big incident). If I can dig them up I'll send out a copy to anyone who wants one if they e-mail me their address. Anyway, this year there were approx. five eye-witnesses. They saw a bright object in the sky that seemed to be moving around in ways that a plane cannot.

Photo sales assistant Anne Marnie (42) was left rubbing her eyes in disbelief after her early morning close encounter. She had gone to her door at 3am to get one of her cats when she saw a bright, white band of vapour in the sky above her Bridge of Don home. Stunned Anne, Forvie Cresent, traced the vapour to it's source - a craft with two or three lights which was travelling at speed. She said: "I couldn't identify it. It wasn't a plane or helicopter. It also made a deep noise which didn't sound like a plane. "I looked away for a few seconds, then when I looked back it had disappeared. I can't describe or explain what it was so to me it was an Unidentified Flying Object." Anne's experience is the latest in a series of strange sightings in the North-east, including reports of a huge luminous cloud reported at Muchalls last year. A brother and sister claimed to have seen white lights, moving within it, going left and right, on and of. The latest sighting is unlikely to have been a plane landing at or leaving Aberdeen as the city airport closes at 10.30pm. City aviation expert Jim Ferguson says the object may have been a large plane flying across the North east en-route to another country. A vapour trail could be seen on a clear night if the moon was bright, he said. "In situations like this it could have been something like a 747 Jumbo flying at high levels between the Low Countries and the US," said Mr. Ferguson. A spokesman for the Civil Aviation Authority couldn't say whether a civilian aircraft would have been flying over the city at the time of the sighting. The Ministry of Defence says many reports of alleged UFO sightings are also proved to be natural phenomena. What do you think?

I will be posting a local newspaper article about more UFO sightings during January 1995, in a few days. This is a UFO sighting I personally had and posted several months ago. I have since come to the conclusion that this UFO is owned by the US Government (thats us!). More to follow soon... David ******************************************************************* INTERVIEW WITH A WITNESS TO A UFO SIGHTING - FAIRFIELD CA. ******************************************************************* Sysop's Note: The person being interviewed here wishes to withhold the last names of the witnesses. I have been acquainted with "David" for almost two years. He has told me that he is a pilot and that he has had at least six UFO sightings. *** 01/27/94 MC = Mike Coyle DJ = David MC: Why did you go to the area of the sighting? DJ: OK, well I was visiting with a friend which I try to do periodically. He has seen some bizarre things out there. So we happened to be going around looking at the sky. Actually talking at that time about what he had been seeing recently. MC: You were walking where? DJ: He's on a farm, his place, right next to the windmill farm. It's real close to Bird's Landing (CA). Maybe a mile or so away, in the Fairfield area. MC: How far is that from the edge of Travis Air Force Base? DJ: Oh I'd probably say fifteen, twenty miles at the most. MC: So your friend has been seeing strange things flying over his house? DJ: He has seen some really big things hovering over his house and strange things in the back of his place. MC: How does your friend know you? DJ: I have known him through a mutual friend for several years. MC: Your interest in each other was originally not about UFOs? You just knew him and as time went by he had these experiences of with things flying over his house? DJ: What's right. MC: And then he told you about it? So you decided to go out and see if you could actually see one? DJ: Yes, and I wish I had my camera with me. MC: Why didn't you have a camera with you? DJ: I wasn't really expecting to see anything there. I have brought cameras there before but we never saw anything when I did. MC: So you have actually gone out there before to try to see these objects and seen nothing? DJ: Yeah, he told me about this stuff, and I said, "God I'd love to get a picture." I said, "Why didn't you get a picture? You've been out there so long?" MC: How many times have you gone out there to look around? DJ: Maybe five or six. MC: So then you finally saw one? What was the day, date and time of this sighting? DJ: In the evening, maybe around eight or nine, after dark. It was about two months ago. I can't recall the exact day. Chilly, clear, a slight bit of fog, it was almost like, in fact he had mentioned this before, he had seen a kind of fog come up around there where they where doing some of their stuff back there. He was of the opinion they there putting out a fog field to make it hard to see. MC: So you were in his house and you decided to go walk around his property? DJ: Yeah, we were inside and decided to go out and walk around because he's got a lot of animals. Then we saw something come by and it was stranger than most planes would be because it had so many lights on the front. At first I just looked at the lights because they there so bright. They were kind of amber colored, more of a whitish amber and there was a whole row at a "V" angle. MC: When you first spotted it what direction where you looking? DJ: I was looking over towards Travis Air Force Base area from Birds Landing, so I guess that would be east. MC: In what direction was the object moving? DJ: It was moving from south to north. MC: Was it coming right at you or was it moving across your line of sight? DJ: It was moving across my line of sight, a few hundred yards away up in the air. We were just to the west of the windmill generators. There are some hills to the north. So the object was over the hills. As it came over I could see it pretty well and then it banked. It was going slower than a plane could have flown as far as I could tell because it was too low. MC: What was it's approximate altitude? DJ: I'd say approximately five hundred feet. When it banked it banked at a very extreme angle, like over forty five degrees. MC: When you first spotted it how far away did it look? DJ: A couple thousand feet away. MC: How large did it appear to be? DJ: It looked really pretty large, about the size of a, but not quite as big as, one of those huge transports. MC: Like a C-5? DJ: Yeah, but it was a little smaller than that but possibly as big as a 747. I thought it was a bomber at first but it was going to slow for how low it was. And then all those lights on the front. I have never seen planes with a whole row of lights. MC: You say it was going slow, near stall speed for a plane? DJ: Below stall speed for a plane. Especially when it stopped! It just hovered. At first I couldn't really see the shape because it was a dark color but the lights were so bright that you could tell when it flew over that it was a triangular shape, a perfect triangle. MC: And your friend was with you during this? Would you like to give his name? DJ: Yes, he saw it. His first name is Terry. MC: What was his reaction to this? DJ: He said, "That is the exact same thing I saw over my house. It looked like the size of a football field." MC: How high up in the air did he think it was at that time? DJ: He thought it was fifty to a hundred feet above his house. This was on another night. He said it was huge and it just sort of hovered there for awhile and then it left. MC: Say there is some kind of operation going on out there with unidentified aircraft. He is very close to it. Has he ever been approached by the Air Force? Or had any contact with other authorities? DJ: I don't think so. He's never mentioned anything. MC: He's never made any reports to the authorities on his own? DJ: No. MC: Why not? DJ: He pretty much knows they're up to something. MC: And he doesn't want to bring any attention to himself? DJ: Exactly. He doesn't feel it would make any difference. He talks about it freely but he would never go to the government. MC: OK, so, you say it was traveling south to north and as the object got over Travis it hovered? DJ: Well more over, actually it was behind, a hill when it started hovering but what seemed to be on the other side of the hill, was probably some more of those windmills, or least it was nearby. It certainly was directly adjacent to those windmills. MC: And then what happened? Did it start to land? DJ: Actually, it went over a couple of times before it landed. It just flew over and banked and turned around the other direction. I think it even went behind the hill so we couldn't see it for awhile. The first time I saw it I don't think it landed or even completely stopped. It just slowed down and banked in a extreme bank and that's when a could see there were three, sort of glowing, round openings at the bottom. I would guess they were some sort of propulsion system. There was one at each point of the triangle. Up to this point I really couldn't tell what the shape was other than it was a triangle. MC: When you say triangle, what type? DJ: Equilateral. MC: So it didn't have a acute angle shape like the new stealth bombers or stealth fighters. DJ: No, it was perfectly symmetrical. MC: So it would make it look much more squat than one of the stealths, rather than swept back? DJ: Yes, that's right. And then after it came back the second time it was hovering at that point. And then it did the most bizarre thing. I was trying to see what the overall shape was because it was kind of hard to tell with those bright lights on the front. Then the bright lights went off. At the same time these incredibility bright strobes where lining the edge of the triangle. And what it looked like was two platforms which were triangular in shape. The lower one had strobes all the way around the triangle. Then the upper part, it was maybe ten or fifteen feet above the lower triangle. There was a second platform which was also triangular shaped and it had more strobes. When the strobes went on, they weren't all going on at the same time. The strobes on the bottom would alternate with the strobes on the top. So it was a real rapid, maybe three, four or five times a second. Flashing back and forth between the upper part and the lower part. It only did that when it was hovering, about to land. MC: And then it started to descend? DJ: Yeah, then it started to descend and descended all the way behind the hill. The reason I could tell it was alternating the strobes is that when it began to descend behind the hill, the one section, the lower section, was behind the hill and the upper section wasn't, then the rate of the flashing was half as fast. Finally it dropped completely behind the hill. MC: So at this point it was hidden from your view? How far away was it then, when it went behind the hill? DJ: Probably a couple, maybe three hundred yards. MC: So it was off of your friends property? DJ: That's right. MC: Do you know what property it is? That's not Travis Air Force Base is it? DJ: No, I think it's either an open field or is part of the windmill farm. MC: It was only three hundred yards away but you didn't go towards it? DJ: No, because it would have required going through a field with lots of bushes and a few fences and... MC: Has your friend ever seen one of these things land in that area before. DJ: Yeah, I think so. I'm pretty sure he had said that he had seen them land back there but he had never seen the area where it landed. MC: He has never gone in back of the hill? DJ: No, I don't think so. MC: Are there any public roads going through that area? DJ: It's kind of isolated from the other roads in the area. When I go there again I am going to try to check that area out. MC: OK, so it went down behind the hill. Then what happened? DJ: It sounded like large amounts of equipment were off loading. Like trucks, jeeps, sort of like a whining sound like a large truck. MC: But that is just supposition on your part, right? You could not actually see anything at this time, right? DJ: Yes, just the sounds of heavy machinery. It sounded like large geared type machinery. MC: How long did this go on? DJ: That lasted for maybe ten minutes and then it took off again. MC: And then the object rose up from behind the hill? DJ: Yeah, except I don't think it went straight up this time. I think it went up at more of an angle. It didn't go up quite as high. I believe it was going north again. And it went pretty far north. There are some more hills so I couldn't always see it. Then it turned back around and came back and landed at that same place again and it "off loaded" some more stuff but this second time it was a longer period of time. More like twenty or thirty minutes. MC: When it made the loop and came back, how big of a loop was it? DJ: Hard to say because I didn't have it in view the whole time. MC: When it came back to land the second time was it in the same position it was in, the first time? DJ: Yes, it made the same maneuver again with the lights blinking. Then sounds of a lot of activity and then it took off again to the north and that was the last time we saw it. MC: Did it go away fast? Did it go away slow? DJ: Fairly slow. MC: So it rose up and moved off slowly to the north at low altitude until you lost sight of it? DJ: Yes, it made some noise but it didn't sound at all like a jet engine. Like that whine sound. It was more like a "shsssss", or a slight roar. It wasn't very loud. MC: OK, when it went away, then what did you guys do? DJ: I'd almost forgotten about this part, but all this time, in addition to fact that we were watching this thing. When we first saw the flying object, we saw some sort of weird thing coming through the field and we both, I'm trying to remember at what point that happened, but I know at some point, possibly even before we saw the flying object for the first time, he thought, and I did to, we saw what looked like a skinny creature. Tall, but not real tall, like a child height. MC: How far away? DJ: It was out in the field and more coming from the north. To the right of where it landed. That area was a long fence line that went back towards the windmill farm. Maybe a hundred feet away. It was real dark and I was having a hell of a time telling if I was seeing anything. It wasn't moving much. What ever it was it was very still. And we were kind of scared and I, then we started paying attention to the flying object. We were scared. He was saying, "I see something." I said, "I think I see something to back there." Then I heard this weird thing talking. It was like the sound of a child. When something like that happens and you don't expect, at night in an empty field, to hear a child laughing and playing. Sounds of a child talking. I thought was that an animal? What is that? It was like something walking. I mean what ever the voice was, it was moving. But I really couldn't see it. So we both tried to kind of look at it. Tried to find it again. He keep claiming he could see something and I couldn't see anything at that point. It was too dark and too shadowy to really tell. Let's put it this way, if that thing hadn't been there I would have seriously considered walking down the fence and around the hill and walking back to the other side. But whatever it was, I got the clear feeling that either they were sending something to watch us or warn us away. Whatever it was it kept us very effectively from going back behind the hill. MC: So then you went back to the house? When you got back what time was it? DJ: Yes, it was probably about 10:30 pm. MC: I guess you probably discussed this at length in his house? DJ: Yes. MC: Did you tell anyone else about this? DJ: I told a couple of people I know. A couple of friends. MC: Does Terry have animals on the farm? DJ: Yes. MC: Dogs? Where they with you during the sighting? DJ: Yeah, I remember when we first started looking at it, to see if there was something in the field, the dogs were barking at something. MC: Did they approach it? DJ: I think one of them did run back there. Like it was going after an animal. MC: They didn't try to attack this thing you saw walking around? DJ: No. They didn't seem to have any interest. *** ****************************************************************** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 3 Feb 1995 23:39:53 -0400 From: Sergio Henao <sergio.henao@CCXBBS.UUNET.VE> Organization: Caracas Computer Exchange BBS Subject: OVNIS=UFOS >I reed this in the newspaper here in Venezuela it talks about people who saw ufos (ovnis) over Peru.

It was at about tree top level. It was larger in size than our house. We did not hear any sounds. The object was white with two bright orange lights near the bottom (see drawing next page). The object did not make any other movements except to stay beside us. We went home and it continued on to the north. The sky was clear and the northern lights were out. We saw a similar object two weeks prior in the same general area. That time it was always ahead of us.

Headline - EXPERTS TO PROBE BEAUTY SPOT UFO Four reported sightings of a UFO above the country beauty spot were last night being probed by experts. Witnesses said a mysterious brightly-lit craft hovered above 500-foot high Blackbury Hill, near Hereford, England. It is claimed helicopters approached the UFO, but veered away from it. Mr John White, aged 22, said he saw a dazzling light through the window of his home when he got up to tend his baby son Ben. He said: 'The light was pulsing, as if it was getting brighter and darker. A cloud went behind it at one point, so I can be really positive it was not a star, and it was some sort of object hovering above the hill. It split in two. One moved after the other, and that was the last I saw'. The incident happened two weeks ago. Baffled Mr White, said he saw a similar light above the hill a week later, although this time it was surrounded by smaller lights. A strange light has also been reported as zig-zagging above the nearby River Lugg Meadows. The sightings were last night being probed by Hereford-based UFO investigator Ray Moore who said he had seen a silver glob-shaped light above Backbury, site of an Iron Age fort, before Christmas. He said the sightings could be connected with local ley lines - 'invisible energy lines' which some paranormalwriters believe cross the globe, linking such sites as Stonehenge and the pyramids. Mr Moore said Backbury Hill was a junction of ley lines, which could make it a focal point for paranormal activity. Last night it was thought one explanation of the sightings could lie with the Hereford-based SAS. The hush-hush regiment never comments on operational matters, but helicopters constantly fly in and out of its cuty HQ. ==================== There hasn't been any other articles in the papers since, and it never made the news so who knows what was going on.

I was on the roof of one of the buildings here at Rice as part of an Astronomy lab. I have misplaced the logbook we were required to keep, so I cannot offer an exact date or time, but it was late February or early March and must have been between 7 and 11 at night. The sky was partly obscured by low clouds and these clouds reflected the orange light from the sodium street lamps around this area. My two lab partners were adjusting our telescope while I was just looking up. I would describe what I saw as three disks, nearly touching, and arranged colinearly along an east-west axis --> like so: OOO They traveled together along this axis to the east. I first noticed them at a position just to the west of my zenith and I followed them with my eyes until they were obscured by a bank of clounds. I'm not a good judge of angular dimension, so I'll just say that they appeared about as wide as your little finger held at arm's length. I tried to call them to the attention of my lab partners, but they were gone before the two could look up. I saw no lights on the objects. I was able to distinguish them from the clouds because the way they reflected the ground light made them look smooth. Sorry, but that's about the best description I can make. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Newsgroups: alt.paranet.ufo From: norm@grifinfo.demon.co.uk ("C:WINSOCKKA9QSPOOLMAIL") Subject: Sightings Organization: Griffin Information Systems Date: Fri, 10 Mar 1995 03:45:54 +0000 Message-ID: <872201317wnr@grifinfo.demon.co.uk> In the past two months, the local press in Derby (UK) have reported approx. 15 sightings of a blue triangle larger than an aircraft in the sky. Reports vary from distance sightings, possibly planes, to the object hovering over a blokes house in Ashbourne. Either I am very lucky to live in this area of the planet, aliens are everywhere all across the globe, or people are telling untruths. Of course, as always, there is no hard evidence, but the reportings are nontheless worrying. Are we living in hope of there being an alien culture to bring us all closer together, or should our governments be actively monitoring these sightings and passing the information onto the people concerned, us. I wish I knew where we fit in.

The sighting was reported by an eye witness who stopped his car and watched the objects from directly below them. They were traveling very slow (5mph) and were totally silent. They were holding a formation of one above the other, the lowest one being 1000 ft. in altitude and the other being directly above the other at approx 1500 ft. altitude. They gave off a slight green glow which remained in the area a short while after they had passed through. The person who reported this sighting is a private pilot who knows the difference between conventional aircraft and whatever these craft were. They were NOT helicopters and they were NOT aircraft of any type he has ever seen or heard of.

Here's all he could provide at the moment "A funny thing popped up in a teaser for a local newscast, I think it was during X-files (I was half asleep) so that makes it the local Fox affiliate. Anyway, back to the teaser, the short blurb mentioned a ufo being sighted in the clouds over Anaheim by a retired aerospace engineer. They started to show his sketch of just what he'd seen, when they cut away and gave the usual 'details at 11:00' type statement, and cut back to commercials. I tried to stay awake for the newscast, but of course it was that little teaser that they always hold until the very last segment. By then, I'd lost the battle. From what I could see in the teaser, the time appeared to be late afternoon/evening..."

The sighting was reported by an eye witness who stopped his car and watched the objects from directly below them. They were traveling very slow (5mph) and were totally silent. They were holding a formation of one above the other, the lowest one being 1000 ft. in altitude and the other being directly above the other at approx 1500 ft. altitude. They gave off a slight green glow which remained in the area a short while after they had passed through. The person who reported this sighting is a private pilot who knows the difference between conventional aircraft and whatever these craft were. They were NOT helicopters and they were NOT aircraft of any type he has ever seen or heard of.

Did anyone see a UFO in Florida last Saturday night, 2/4/95, approximately 9:10 moving from North to South in the Western sky low on the horizon. My parents saw it south of Melbourne, but north of Palm Bay. They took the wrong road on the way home and saw it in front of them. It was close enough that mom swears it was only a few hundred feet in front of them. It crossed the road and when they passed she looked for flames or something because she thought it was a plane going down. They both described it as a tear drop in bluish green color. I would rule out swamp gas, etc. as my parents have lived in Fla. since 1951 and my dad worked for NASA a number of years...he says he thinks it might have been a meteorite but I doubt it because they both described it as floating along.

About 10:45 PM, I was returning to my home from walking my dog when I noticed a noctilucent cloud (one which is illuminated by sunlight after dark because of its extreme altitude). The cloud was not unusual but was interesting to look at. After a few minutes, a pin point of yellow light in the middle of the cloud became brighter and brighter until it was about half as bright as our street lights which are the same yellow color. I watched the light for 30 sec. to 60 sec. until it dimmed the same as it had brightened. Then I watched the cloud until the sun finally set on it. I would have dismissed this light as just the head light of an airplane which turned toward me for 30-60 sec. and then away. Even the unusual yellow color could have been from the atmosphere which causes our colored sunsets, setting moon, planets and stars. However, tonight, I learned from the Honolulu news that yellow/ orange lights had been observed in the skys over windward (east) Oahu for the last week. Many lights together were observed by many different people at different times and different locations. All descriptions were of yellow lights. Those who live on windward Oahu are accustomed to seeing the many aircraft (airliners and military) and I believe they would not have reported this unless it was very unusual. The news report included an official statment by agents of Mufon that this was a hoax employing (bag & candle) hot air baloons. I can honestly tell you that what I saw was no hot air baloon. It looked more like the head light of a jumbo jet. It would seem to be quite a coinsidence that anomalous yellow lights are being seen to the east of Oahu and to the west of Hawaii (200 miles apart) at the same time and are not caused by the same phenomenon. It would also seem unlikely that the Oahu sightings were all airplanes flying directly at the observers simultaneously. If Mufon is serious about their explanation, then I would seriously question their objectivity. Maybe Mufon has an agenda for spreading mis/dis-information? Maybe they just jumped to a hasty and incorrect conclusion. If anybody in the islands has had similar sightings, please post your story or e-mail me about it. I am really anxious to hear an explanation which fits ALL the sightings.

Night was clear, sky not very dark because Lebanon is a small city. It was difficult to see, due to glaring lights. We drove to a semi-dark parking lot to get a better view. It was flying very slowly, I'd say about 15 MPH, and wasn't a shape of a plane. It was possibly boomerang shaped. Many lights on it (more so than your average commuter plane), of a variety of colors. It was low-flying, less than 3,000 feet up, I'd say, and it didn't make a sound. I wanted to follow it, but my passenger was spooked (his first UFO, and he's a born skeptic), so we didn't. An interesting note is that the flight pattern brought it very close to our little regional airport. I did not follow up on this sighting (did not call the airport tower, did not check the local paper the next morning for confirmation of the sighting). -Kim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Newsgroups: alt.ufo.reports From: David@holodeck.demon.co.uk (David Somen) Subject: UFOs seen hovering near Hinckley railway station UK Organization: Federation Reply-To: David@holodeck.demon.co.uk Date: Thu, 23 Feb 1995 00:03:53 +0000 Message-ID: <566836327wnr@holodeck.demon.co.uk> Reported in the Hinckley Herald, UK Thursday February 9th,1995. (Thanks Charlie) UFOs seen hovering near Hinckley railway station. Late night shoppers at Hinckley`s Food Giant supermarket have sparked an investigation after reporting sightings of unidentified flying objects hovering around the adjacent railway station on Thursday night. Several people were reported seeing a glowing ball of light just a few feet from the ground over the nearby railway lines. The object was said to be making buzzing sounds and throwing smaller luminous balls of light into the sky for at least five minutes. However, investigators from the Leicestershire UFO study project who are probing the claims, have so far drawn a blank. Their spokesman said "We have no idea what this phenomenon may have been. It disappeared suddenly and left no traces. The guess is that it may have been some form of rare electrical manifestation." He added "We believe that other people must have seen the glow, who have not yet reported their sighting. We would very much like to hear from them." Anybody who spotted Hinckley`s suspected space visitor should call the project supervisor on Hinckley 614013, after 4pm.

NEIGHBORS ENCOUNTER UNIDENTIFIABLE OBJECT Oddity: Anaheim residents saw something strange, but no one knows what. ANAHEIM -- All around a tree-lined neighborhood near West Ball Road and the Santa Ana (I-5) freeway on Thursday morning, adults and children alike were asking one another: "Did you see it?" Those who said they glimpsed a dark object hovering in the sky between 6 and 7:30 AM -- among them a 13-year-old boy, a 46-year-old chiropractor's aide, a 74-year-old former military pilot and a 53-year-old school attendance clerk--said it was the strangest thing they'd seen in all their years on this planet. Few wanted to say the initials: UFO. No one from the federal air agencies, nearby military bases, the National Weather service or the Police Department had heard any reports or could explain the sighting. "We feel strange admitting we saw something so weird in the sky," said Elaine Mazor, attendance clerk at Ball Junior High School, who saw what she described as two dark oblong objects hovering over the school on West Ball Road. "I didn't see any green men or anything." Descriptions differed. One person said there were two round objects, and three people said they saw a misshapen lump. All agreed it was dark and seemed to hang in the heavens without visible propellers, wings, or a balloon. "To me it looked like a Model-T that got hit by a freight train," said Chris Christensen, 72, a former World War II pilot who lives on Sonya place, about three-fourths of a mile away from the school. He said he saw the object around 7:30 AM, when he went out to get the morning paper. Christensen grabbed a pair of binoculars, but he said he still couldn't make it out. "I still don't have the slightest idea what it was." he said. "I was just curious about it. It was like a piece of junk hanging from an invisible balloon." One mile south of Christensen's home, 13-year-old Joe De Guevara was walking along Aspen Street, on his way to school, when he saw something in the sky at about 6:45 AM. "It was all different shapes: it wasn't just one shape," he said. "It wasn't really round, it wasn't really square. It looked like two people on top of a platform, spinning." De Guevara said he watched the object the whole way to school. At the school, Mazor and Linda Linder, 44, a campus aide, were standing outside, watching with several other adults and children. "It was like a cylinder, black, turning and rotating in the sky." said Alexandra Diaz, 14. Kathy Thompson, 46, said she became alarmed when she heard about a KIKF/ 94.3FM radio broadcast about the object from a friend. Thompson said she awoke at 6:45 AM and saw a small, round, protozoan-like object that grew into a larger, splatter-shaped object hovering beyond her apartment complex on Palm Lane. "I'm going: 'Oh my God, this is unbelievable. Somebody has just got to know what this is,'" said Thompson, a chiropractor's aide. Authorities from Disneyland [the theme park is no more than 2 or 3 miles away] to the FAA were stumped by the reports, dismissed by some as an early-morning urban myth. Anaheim police received no calls about the sightings, Sgt. Tom Mathisen said. "It wasn't Disneyland," Magic Kingdom spokesman John McClintock said. "I've checked with everyone who might have conceivably had something in the air this morning, and no one did." The FAA didn't receive any reports either, and controllers at Fullerton Airport, less than five miles north, saw no sign of the objects, officials said. The National Weather Service regularly releases balloons to test atmospheric conditions, but not in Orange County, said meteorologist Stephen Ahn. Planes did not fly out of El Toro Marine Corps Air Station until 7AM, and the first helicopters did not leave Tustin Marine Air Corps Station until an hour later, said Cpl. Chris W. Cox, a spokesman for the bases. Ted Bartimus, spokesman for the 63rd Army Reserve Command, stationed at Los Alamitos, said his units sometimes fly in the area where the sightings occurred, but he doubted anyone would call them UFOs. A Corona Del Mar UFO investigator said the reports could be anything from a hoax to a bizarre weather formation. "You don't know, in fact, that it's extraterrestrial," said Melinda Leslie of the Mutual UFO Network. Back in the West Ball neighborhood, residents don't know what they saw. "I don't think it was a UFO," Christensen said. "What's so strange about it, though, is you don't usually see something that's floating in the sky." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: mikeb33681@aol.com (MikeB33681) Newsgroups: alt.ufo.reports Subject: Houston UFOs?

Date: 14 Feb 1995 05:36:12 GMT Organization: University of California, Santa Barbara Message-ID: <3hpfgc$eto@ucsbuxb.ucsb.edu> Before I state what I saw I would like to clarify that I am using UFO in the very literal sense. I, and four of my friends saw something that we cannot explain. Here's the story. At about 11:00pm (pst) last night my friend called me over to his room. His room looks out on the Channel Islands and is on the 7th floor, giving it an excellent view. On the horizen I saw a line of lights. After summoning two more friends and getting a pair of binoculars was able to see it somewhat more clearly. The lights were arranged symmetrically around the axis perpindicular to us. I will describe the lights as I saw them from left to right. The first light was slightly above the others, after a small space there was a a group of four lights close together in a straight line, after another space was a single light, a larger space separated it from a pair lights in the center, another equally large space lead to another single light, a smaller space seperated this single light from a another straight line of four lights, at the end was another light above the rest at the same level as the first. Through the Binoculars it appeared that the object was actually curved. At this point we left the dorm and went down to the beach to get a better view. As we watched we noticed it moved from East to West (The Ocean in Santa Barbara is actually to the South so it was moving from our left to our right) at differing speeds. It would go very fast for a short time and then stop. At one point I saw it bob down and then resume moving. My friend saw it tilt along the perpindicular axis as well while looking through binoculars. We have no explaination for what it was. It dissappeared behind one of the islands and did not reappear. The Islands are about 26 miles away and the thing appeared to be about an inch long from our perspective, for the distance then it must have been very large. This would rule out aircraft since 747's on approach into LA appear to be about an 1/8 of an inch and would be at roughly the same distance, if not closer. It also covered an incredible amout of space in a very short time, fastr than we have seen other ships travel. Therefore we are at a loss. We have speculate dthat it might have something to do with PT. Magu which is a Navy Training area S of here. If anyone has any ideas please post them because we cannot think of anything. Thanks.

Date: 22 Feb 1995 16:20:23 GMT Message-ID: <2427576253.79058758@daystorm.com> About a few days ago, I exited my lovely toronto home throught the backyard and this was around 7pm or so. It was a normal day, I had just finished school a few hours earlier and phad planned to enjoy a relaxed evening in the company of friends. As I walked out towards my car, I noticed a somewhat bright white light just above a few houses out in the distance. At first I thought it was an airplane and waited for it to fly by or perhaps over my house. I am a very big fan of aircraft, and therefore watching aircraft fly-by was something I always enjoy doing. Anyways as this "UFO" became closer and closer, and let me just give you an idea of where it was comming from. My backyard is facing south (exactly), towards Lake Ontario. The craft was heading in a north/north/west direction. As it came closer to my house, I just stood there and observed this strange white light. As we all know aircraft have beacon lights and this strange craft did not. I still had no idea what this strange craft was. It seemed like a regular airplane, but there were no distinct beacon lights and as it got closer, no sounds were heard. As it continued its north/north/west flight path, it suddenly changed course and it was now flying in a north/west direction, straight towards my house. I thought that this was great, a chance to see an airplane fly over my house. Its nothing special but its always something nice to see. As the craft got closer and closer, I noticed that it was flying much too slow to be an aircraft. And it was really REALLY low. If I'm not mistaken according to Air Regulations, and aircraft must maintain an altitude of 1000 feet above the tallest structure in the area, or something of that sort. Well this strange craft must of been at at least 500 feet, perhaps even lower. It seemed so close when it flew DIRECTLY over me. The strange thing that I find it difficult to explain is the way its shape appear to be in the dark sky and the way the lights suddendly became brighter and then returned to their normal brightness. Allow me to explain. The craft appeared to be somewhat triangular in shape. The reason I say this is because there were other smaller lights in the outer regions of the craft giving it the shape mentioned. And right when the craft "hovered" very slowly above me, its two large ligths became really bright and two columns of light brightned up my whole backyard including myself... I found this very strange... I'm somewhat confused, even today as to the true origin of this craft. Was it really a UFO? I myself beleive it to be such, because how low it was, how slow it was flying and the light configuration. No aircraft I have EVER seen has a light configuration such as that one. Let me try to show you what the craft looked like from the bottom. I must warn you that I am not much of an artist... o o o o o o O O o o oo oo o The smaller o's represent the smaller lights that I mentioned covered the outer region of the craft. The two large O's represent the two large lights I spoke of. Those two large lights were at first turned off, but when the craft was directly over my house, they were turned on and they were quite bright. Much like the type of lights you would find at a baseball stadium but they were round. So these two lights were turned on for about a few seconds or so, and I could see these two columns of light shining down on my kneighbours houses as it flew over me. The lights were then turned off and the craft continued its north/west heading. To this day I still donot know what this craft was. I know what I saw and I would like to perhaps undergo hypnosis. I fear that I might have been abducted,but it did not appear to me at the time that I had lost any time. From what I've read about Abduction cases, victims recall time lapses when an abduction takes place. I did not noticed this or even suspect it. Is there anyone out there who could perhaps explain to me what it was that I saw and if there is a slight possibility of an abduction? This message is not a fabrication of my imagination. I know what I saw and I am telling the truth. If there is anyone out there, perhaps a UFO expert in the toronto area that would be willing to speak to me about this incident, I would deeply apreciate his/her remarks and perhaps a number where he/she can be reached. If you plan on replying to this message, please do so privatly. I am not yet familiar with the internet and searching for a message directed to me in public mail, might be somewhat of a disaster. Thank you for your time in reading my message, if in fact you did and I hope that someone out there knows what I'm talking about and clears up some of the doubts that I have. Thank-you...

Guinan" <guinan@ibm.net> Newsgroups: alt.alien.visitors Subject: SALT LAKE CITY, FEB 20 UFO SIGHTING Date: 15 Mar 1995 02:54:31 GMT Message-ID: <3k5kt7$2ak8@news-s01.ny.us.ibm.net> Hello everyone. The following event happened flying into Salt Lake City on Delta Airlines flight 1485 on Feb. 20 1995. I had meant to post this sooner, but I didn't get around to it. I want to premise my story by stating that what I saw was a UFO in the strictest sense (An Unidentified Flying Object). In other words, I have no fricking clue what it was that I saw. I am hoping that someone can shed some light on this for me, or that I may perhaps get a verification of this by others who were in the right place at the right time in Salt Lake City. I was flying from Omaha, NE to San Francisco, CA. Flight 1485 was the first leg of this flight, with a layover in Salt Lake City, UT. Flight 1485 arrives in Salt Lake at 8:45 p.m. So the time of this sighting was approximately 8:45 PM, Feb. 20. 1995. The location was within 2-7 miles of Salt Lake City airport (I don't know from which direction we made our final descent, although I suspect it was either from the North or East). Here is what happened: I was sitting in a window seat on the right side of the plane, towards the front (Looking out West or North upon descent?), so I had an unobstructed view of the ground during our final descent. As we descended, I was looking out the window at the city. We were flying over a mostly residential area. The view was very clear, and it was dark. I am uncertain of our altitude at this time, but I could clearly make out houses, streets, cars, etc.. What appeared to be a low flying plane caught my attention and I followed it's movements. I noticed that this craft was extremely low, and decided it must be a helicopter because I could not see an airport in the direction it was heading (opposite the heading of the 727 I was in) and small planes do not fly several hundred feet above residential neighborhoods (an estimate) unless they are landing. The craft had a series of white lights in front, not blinking. So far, so good - nothing odd at all, a helicopter or small plane with lights in front flying low over residential areas. NOTE: most of this is in hindsight; At the time, I simply considered the thing a helicopter and followed it with my eyes. As I continued to watch, I noticed several VERY strange things. FIRST: This thing was probably more like 20-50 feet above the treeline of the residential area(S) that it was flying over - I thought it was higher because of it's parallax motion (difference in motion between something nearer to you and something farther) and my guessed speed of the 'helicopter', which brings me to SECOND: This thing was flying fast! - not unreasonably so, but probably in the 150-300 mph range (remember, this thing was flying low). But the most disturbing thing was THIRD: It passed over a lighted street intersection (I could see no cars on the streets in this area) and I had my first glimpse of it's silhouette - it was perfectly round. I had perhaps a second (or a close fraction, thereof) of a view of the craft flying over this lighted intersection, but it was ample time for the shape of the craft to register without doubt in my mind. At this point, I felt slightly panicky (up until I saw it's shape, I was simply assuming that this thing was a helicopter). I probably looked a bit odd, as I snapped my head at the window and exclaimed (perhaps a bit loudly) "What the fuck?" I continued to watch the craft (now almost obsessed with it, with my face pushed against the window), but the plane I was on was getting lower and the craft was getting farther away (continuing in a linear direction, very low and rather rapidly). Eventually, my view became obstructed by the wing of the 727 and my sighting ended. If I hadn't seen this thing's shape, I would have never given it a second thought. As it stands, I know beyond a reasonable doubt that this thing had a circular silhouette. In retrospect, I find it interesting that it was flying so low - definitely too low for it to be picked up on radar. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? -- Dan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Aaron Viles <ayouth@u.washington.edu> Newsgroups: alt.alien.visitors Subject: Sighting Date: Wed, 22 Feb 1995 10:50:04 -0800 Message-ID: <Pine.PTX.3.91a.950222104459.15044B-100000@carson.u.washington.edu> Apparently, today in the am, two people, not known to each other, independantly reported a ball with a green fire like tail moving towards Bothel.

Allthough the witnesses did not know exactly what time it was, they say that they experienced no missing time as the TV show they were watching before hand was still running as expected. i have advised them to contact Manchester airport an/or the police and ask if they had any other reports or explainations. whatever comes of this i will let you all know. -franki ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: dred@euronet.nl (Dred) Newsgroups: alt.alien.visitors Subject: Sighting : Amsterdam feb '95 Date: 1 May 1995 10:28:17 GMT Organization: Euronet Internet Message-ID: <3o2d41$4q0@news.euro.net> Does anyone have any info about an object observed late feb'95 above A,dam east/ Duivendrecht?

As we were driving we saw what appeared to be a huge building or stadium on a high hill. I remarked about never seeing a building there before. As we proceeded up the road, the building started moving toward us, at a fast rate. Finally what we thought was a building was along side us. It was some sort of craft, it was huge. It had 4 lights in front, and one larger light underneath. These lights were an off white color and did not illuminate anything but the craft itself. The craft hovered to the left and in front of us for about a minute, it then angled down at us and approached us. We thought it might hit us. It then tilted back and hovered over us. As we continued to travel east on the road we passed under the object. It was gray in color, had lots of strange things on the underside. This object was wedge shaped and huge. This happened on the 7th at 9:00 at night. After we passed under the craft, it was gone! The was no sound from the craft. It was huge, the underside light was as large as my house. It was watching us, and I'm not a nut. Since seeing this craft it has made thinking of anything else difficult. I would like to talk to someone who might have seen something simular. I know it was there, and so does my father. I am 41 years old and have never seen anything like this before nor have I heard of anything like it. My father is 70 and he too has never seen anything like it. Both of us felt we were being observed by this craft. Please if you have any insight into this sort of thing contact me. I'm really being plagued by it.

Where: State Hwy 9 in Iowa traveling west, about 5 miles east of Rt63 My position. I was driving in my car with the window completely down. Time: about 1:30pm WX: abt 63degrees. Light breeze out of west. Mostly Sunny, a few cumulus clouds but not many. Date 3/16/95 Other Aircraft: 3 or 4 high flying jets. 12 to 15 jet trails in sky. What I saw: Looking at a jet, just before entering a clowd bank, flying west to east, I noticed a bright (reflective) object about 2 degrees ahead of the jet. It seemed elongated and rotating. The reflection varied with a cycle of about .75 seconds. Its length seemed to be about twice that of the jet. Using the jet and the neadby clowd as references, it seemed to be ahead and below the jet. It was traveling almost due south, much faster than the jet. The object left no exhaust trail. I saw it for about 5 seconds before it went into the cloud. checked my glasses to be sure it wasn't a reflection. It wasn't. There were no trees in the area and the onjy birds birds around were pheasants feeding on the ground. I would appreciate e-mail speculation.

I've just seen a news report about a UFO report in Ballymena, made by a farming family. This is the first sighting I have ever heard of here in the North, only previously hearing about USA/UK sightings on mainstream TV documentary shows. As the reporter pointed out, the area is a level-headed farming community which makes the report all the more interesting. The woman said that her son came into the living room and called them outside to see the UFO. After some effort the son managed to get his father and mother to come oustide to the back yard. A floating object about 40foot wide emitting light, and with what the woman described as arms with extra lights which as she put it 'appeared to breath' and spin around was hovering above their yard. The object then zoomed away at high speed. Since the story was run in the local paper 'The Ballymena News' 16 more people have contacted the reporter with sightings. No sound was given off by the hovering object. I have to say, the whole story however incredible does appear to come from a 'normal' country family. I do feel that 'something' must have occured.... but what was it....? Any more info. on this sighting on the 'net? Any thoughts/ideas for a scientific reason to explain what the family saw.

The object puportedly made a ground landing near the vicinity of Tylertown in a small wooded community referred to as Bedwell Manor. The calls originated from this area as residents complained of strange lights and most unusual humming coming from inside the woods. A heavy rainfall precluded the futher investigation of phenomenon. The residents state that the occurence began at 3:45 p.m., but the calls were not placed until 6:45 p.m. The testimony of the observers states the calls were placed immediately after the sightings, but a time difference of three hours exist before any agencies were notified. Widespread electrical disturbances were reported throughout the tri-county area. The three hours lost to the observers remains unaccounted for, but the full invest- igation is still pending.

"I know people will dismiss it as rubbish and will think I'm crazy, but I definitely did see it. I _had_ to report it to the police", Mr Jan Pienaar (45) said to our Bloemfontein office. Several people from Bloemfontein alleged that they also saw a UFO yesterday - one even captured it on videotape. Mr Pienaar was travelling at 7.30am on the road between Coligny and Brakspruit when he encountered the flying saucer. "It suddenly stood right in front of me in the middle of the road. My truck stalled and when I got out something like a magnetic field prevented me from moving. The UFO was about 90 m from me. It stood on three legs and hummed softly, like an electric motor. "It was beautiful - metallic like stainless steel, but also in a strange way transparent. It also had red, green and purple lights. The shape was like an upside-down bowl with two ridges on top. "After about three minutes the legs on which it stood slowly lifted from the ground and folded away. I could see a row of small windows on the top ridge, before it rose as fast as a lightning bolt" A police spokesman said the Bloemfontein flying squad was notified about 2.20am yesterday of the UFO. Members of the service saw a bright light and a member of the public captured it onn videotape. According to Mr Matie Hoffmann, physicist and amateur astronomer, it could be a weather balloon, kite or anything with a sharp light. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: anatf@anat.uct.ac.za Newsgroups: alt.alien.visitors Subject: Sighting in South Africa Date: Fri, 31 Mar 1995 09:03:27 GMT Organization: University of Cape Town Message-ID: <anatf.22.2F7BC55E@anat.uct.ac.za> There were UFO sightings in Bloemfontein and Johannesburg last night here in SOUTH AFRICA.

It needs serious repair work. When this saucer-like object was seen from up close for the first time on Thursday morning by a farmer from Great Marico in the Western Transvaal plains, it clearly had a hole in the hull. The farmer, Mr Jan Pienaar (45) thinks that the craft landed on a remote farm road between Coligny and Brakspruit to repair the damaged hull. His arrival probably caused the craft to depart suddenly. On his near-collision with the strange craft from outer space, Mr Pienaar said it was a sensation he would never forget. The feeling of utter bewilderment he experienced for three or four minutes he still finds difficult to describe. "It was approximately eight-thirty in the morning when I came around a bend in the road and saw a black man shielding his face from something with his arm. At that moment the engine of my new truck cut out for no reason. I looked up. It was a beautiful sight. About eighty meters away from me this huge thing stood on three legs across the road. The entire width of the road and eight to nine meters high. The thing was so transparently shiny as if it could have been made from a kind of stainless steel. It had the shape of two porridge plates stuck together with a pudding bowl on top. On the top edge it would appear as if there were about seven hatches or windows. >From somewhere lights in red, purple, green and yellow lit up the hull of the craft. In the glow I could see there were problems. On the seam of the edge was a dent with a hole of somewhat less than half-a-meter. I could see no creatures in the vicinity. It was only the magnificent craft standing there and humming like a huge electric mixer. I got out of the truck but couldn't move a yard. It was as if a magnet sucked me to the earth. For about three, four minutes I stood there. Then, suddenly the craft rose up. First like a helicopter, to find direction, and then like a lightning bolt over the trees into the sky." Mr Pienaar said it took him quite a while to come to his senses. When he turned the key to his truck, it started immediately. He looked back to see what became of the black man that the saw earlier. The only thing visible was his jacket flapping in the wind as he pedalled his bicycle down the dirt road. >From a farm close by he called the police, just to hear that UFO's were noticed the previous night in several places accross the northern provinces. About half an hour later Mr Pienaar passed the spot again. This time another farmer from the vicinity, Mr Chap Smith, was with him. They stopped at the place where he saw the flying craft the first time. When they got out, the ground was still hot. So hot that it burned a person's hand. In the air hung a strange smell, nearly like chloroform. There was still no sign of the old black man. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: darkstar@compumedia.com (Tony Veca) Newsgroups: alt.paranet.ufo Subject: Re: Central Florida Sightings Date: Mon, 03 Apr 1995 00:56:06 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <3lo91k$4g9@ns.compumedia.com> subterra@tuna.hooked.net (Steven Tupper) wrote: >No, you're jumping to conclusions.

Some sighting report that the Center has recieved from credible sources (law enforcement, airline pilots, ect.) have put the object seen moving at speeds well over 36,000 mph at low altitude, and no noise. So I have no problem with the idea that the same object could be seen with in several states within a short time span. >Has it ever occurred to you that by making too many assumptions you may be >losing important clues? No, just because it sound improbable doesn't mean it is. As far as the sighting on that happened around the 15th of March you can make two assumptions. 1: It was the same object that was seen over the eastern half of the US (due to time frame and descriptions of the object) or, 2: There was a whole fleet of similar objects buzzing the eastern half of the US.(this is just as likely, use the reasons given in #1.) Either one of these assumption is valid. As a UFO investigator I try to keep all options open. I may be right, or I could be wrong, I'm only human and I make mistakes. I base any assumption that I make off of the available facts that I have, but I am very willing to make adjustment to my assumption when I recieve new data and try to stay open minded as possible.
