New Roswell International UFO Museum
 |
James Murdock writes, “Have intelligent beings from other planets visited Earth? The International UFO Museum and Research Center, in Roswell, New Mexico, lacks a definitive answer, such as an alien spacecraft—but it does have plenty of intriguing photographs and affidavits from people who say they have seen one. “If visitors walk out of here with more questions than they had when they came in, that’s all we ask,” says executive director Julie Shuster.

Ahearn-Schopfer Associates, a Boston-based firm, is designing a new home for the International UFO Museum and Research Center, in Roswell, New Mexico.
In designing a new home for the institution, Kevin Schopfer, AIA, a principal of Boston-based Ahearn-Schopfer Associates, also sought to arouse curiosity. Although his 18,000-square-foot, one-story building features a rectangular footprint and mostly rectilinear concrete volumes, a warped plane cants from the west elevation and soars nearly 90 feet above the main entry. This surface, which will likely be gel-coated fiberglass, folds over on itself while a funnel-shaped hole connects the top and bottom facets.
“The concept is that this is a found object emerging from a file cabinet, kind of like information hidden in a drawer somewhere,” Schopfer explains, referring to the purported government cover-up of extraterrestrial evidence. “It’s meant to grab your attention and question what it is.”
The funnel represents a wormhole, he continues, which some physicists hypothesize is a shortcut between distant parts of the universe—and that ufologists believe extraterrestrials use to visit Earth. It’s a billboard building that “entices people from the roadway,” Schopfer admits, but it avoids the ubiquitous alien and UFO iconography common in Roswell, an isolated desert town whose name is synonymous with the alleged crash of a flying saucer there in July 1947.
What the museum lacks on its exterior it will contain inside. A large mock-up of a flying disc will hang from the ceiling in the lobby. It’s this “iconic moment” that visitors will remember afterward, hopes Penny Sander, senior associate and project manager at Cambridge Seven Associates, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which is designing the exhibits.
Chances are there will be many visitors. Annual attendance has grown from 3,000, when the museum opened in 1992, to more than 160,000—one reason why it has already moved twice into bigger accommodations. It is now raising $15 million for construction of the new building and hopes to break ground in early 2009; later phases might include a 30- to 40-room boutique hotel.
Schopfer learned that the museum needed a new home while watching a TV program about the Roswell crash. The project allowed him to pursue his interests in architecture and outer space. “UFOs make a great story,” he says, “and the subject matter is really endless.” http://archrecord.construction.com/news/OnTheBoards/0808ufo.asp
Chile Wants to meet a UFO?
 |
San Clemente – When it comes to attracting tourists to a remote region in central Chile, the town of San Clemente is aiming high — playing up its reputed connection to visitors from outer space. The Andean municipality, 240 kilometers south of Santiago, has opened the country’s first UFO trail, a 30-kilometer long stretch that takes in a supposed landing site for flying saucers and optimal lookouts for extraterrestrial craft. “We support the creation of this UFO trail because experts say that it is a ‘hot zone’ for watchers,” the service’s director, Oscar Santelices, told AFP.
However, just in case hordes of foreign tourists of the terrestrial variety turn up expecting to get a close encounter of a first, second, third or — heaven forbid — fourth kind (alien abduction) out of their trip, Sernatur had a bucket of cold water. “In no way can we guarantee that a tourist coming to San Clemente will see a UFO,” it said in its brochure.
The Chilean town has long been an unofficial destination for UFO-watchers in the know, though mainstream curiosity-seekers looking for a bit of interplanetary mystery have been more often drawn to neighbouring Peru to see the Nazca Lines, those centuries-old gigantic representations of animals in a desert which can only be fully appreciated from the air.
UFO researchers say hundreds of UFO sightings have been reported in San Clemente since the mid-1990s. Thanks to AFP
Mexico Ancient Olmec Cone Head Figures
 |
LA VENTA – La Venta is one of the greatest of the Olmec sites built in the tropical lowlands of Mexico that had pyramid shaped structures. The Olmecs Civilization flourished from 1200 BC to 700 BC on the south coast of the Gulf of Mexico coastal plain of southern Veracruz and Tabasco. The area is about 125 miles long and 50 miles wide. At La Venta we can see platform mounds were arranged around large plaza areas and include a new type of architecture, a tall pyramid mound.
Olmec civilization is the parent culture in Mesoamerica from which all other societies sprouted. Olmec means the “rubber people apparently because they played sports with a rubber ball. At San Lorenzo, Tenochtitlan, distinctively Olmec features begin to emerge around 1150 BC. The rise of civilization was assisted by well watered rich alluvial soil, encouraging high maize production. This ecology may be compared to that of other ancient civilizations: Mesopotamia and the Nile River Valley, where the kings and pharaohs are shown with elongated craniums. At its height, this village had a population of less than 1,000 people.
 |
This group of jade carvings was found at La Venta showing the remarkably elongated heads of the early Olmecs. This grouping of jade figures was found intentionally buried at La Venta and the one on the right is made of courser stone perhaps indicating an ethnic difference or a man from space. Some carvings of large heads had faces with more African looking features than the Mayans who followed hundreds of years later.
The sculptures do not look like normal humans (Homo sapiens) they have cone heads that is cranium deformities that are remarkably elongated. The genetic trait distinguishing them was their anomalously-dolichocephalic (dol•i•cho•ce•phal•ic) heads. These huge heads have been explained as deformities, but they do not fit into Darwin’s Theories of Evolution and have therefore been ignored. The Olmec rulers engaged in long distance trade to obtain vast quantities of jade that included these figures. One of the interesting areas was beneath the main plaza of jade bricks that represent and earth jaguar with an open mouth. They created a world axis, making it the symbolic center of the Olmec cosmos. An important feature at the Olmec centers were aqueducts and drainage systems consisting of a buried network of stone drain lines, long U-shaped rectangular blocks of basalt laid end to end and covered with capstones.
The fact that the early leaders of Egypt, Peru, Malta, Samaria, and Mexico all had elongated skulls infers a different race with advanced knowledge and technical skills suddenly appeared at places thousands a miles from each other all around the Earth infers visitors from space.
July UFO Map of sightings
 |
MUFON reported 276 sightings in July while NUFORC reports 454 sightings for a total of 730 sightings. This is an increase over previous months. There were numerous sightings on the East Coast and Midwest. Data provided by Steve Reichmuth (www.UFOResearcher.com) and Peter Davenport (NUFORC).
California Photos
 |
LOS ALAMITOS SHIPYARD — J.A. Watson Fulbright sent me a series of photos taken over the Pacific Ocean showing anomalies that might be explained as UFOs. Judy writes, “These photos were taken in Huntington Harbor a half mile from the shipyard that has a new ship with the latest technology. Some strange objects and 80 to 100 balls of light where filmed. There was also a dark shadow on many of the films. I can’t help but wonder if this new ship can transfer itself to another dimension?” Thanks to Judy Watson Fulbright
Thousand Oaks — We were on a hike August 23, 2008, at 10:45 PM, the Southern end of Moorpark Ave, and half way up the “bench trail.” While looking north, a friend and I noticed a large meteor with a cobalt blue flare, which entered the atmosphere from East to West at about a 130 degree angle, one of the largest flares that I have ever witnessed. It seemed to burn out briefly however reignited at the same intensity, which got our attention since normally you would expect a meteor to burn out. While still approaching the horizon at a fast speed, we’re thinking it’s going to hit the ground, however the blue flare suddenly shifted horizontally west and faded to an faint orange dot. Visibility was great since we were well removed from any city lights. Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org
Florida – Pinwheel Sighting
Miami Beach — I was 14, out with friends, walking our dogs around the block. We heard a noise, the dogs barked and then went silent, and we looked up to see a giant greenish blue luminescent pinwheel turning in the sky in August 1969. Around 10:00 PM, It whirled and sort of whistled for a couple of minutes. We were stunned speechless. We stood and watched as it appeared to break up into a glowing haze that covered the sky, and then vanished. When my sister returned from a date about a half hour later she described seeing the same thing from Coconut Grove, Miami. We also saw it replayed on the 11 o’clock News.

Georgia - Sightings Report
Tom Sheets, SD MUFONGA writes, On August 9, 2008, about 3:00 PM, an adult resident of Dunwoody was in Norcross and from the vicinity of City Hall observed a black sphere floating slowly under the clouds. He noticed was that the sphere was moving generally west, and the clouds were moving east. When the sun hit the sphere at the proper angle, there was a gleam as if of a metallic nature. The object then hovered, reversed direction and then moved along with the clouds, stopped again and moved back and forth, then seemed to go higher in altitude, getting smaller until vanishing. ASD Ralph Howard has been in contact with the witness and is conducting an inquiry.
ADEL – August 12, 2008, about 10:30 PM, a young adult witness was leaving home on an errand with his Mom and friends and noticed an aerial object of exact unknown shape, but displaying a circular configuration of 6-10 yellow-orange lights flashing sequentially. Object appeared to be under the cloud cover, hovered, then took a straight line path and at one point moved so swiftly, the lights left a streaking blur. Aircraft were observed in the area, as well as some other witnesses hearing jet aircraft, suspected to be from the AFB a few miles south near Valdosta. SSD Jay Jordan of Tifton is conducting an investigation into this matter.
ALBANY – On August 1, 2008, former ASD John Bodin of Wray was contacted by a law enforcement officer who indicated that a few months earlier on night patrol he had encountered, on more than one occasion, a low and slow unknown flying object. The first night he’d observed a light over a treeline adjacent the roadway. Closer scrutiny revealed an oblong dark mass that ‘curved’ down at the rear end. A light appeared to be on the bottom shining downward as the object moved along about 45mph. The officer followed it until it stopped to hover nearby. He put his patrol unit’s spotlight on it for a better look and was further convinced there was absolutely no noise that he could hear. After about 10 seconds, the object turned and flew away very quickly.
The next night one of his associate officers that lived in the area called him and stated he had followed what was apparently the same object described earlier by the primary witness. He had followed it several miles into the adjacent county until he lost sight of it. The primary witness then described his second encounter with the object when it was observed to fly over a state highway and adjacent field. His view was better on that occasion and he observed a ‘cylinder-type’ of ring on the bottom, and noticed the back end seemed to consist of two sections. SSD Jay Jordan was assigned to investigate this matter and has since interviewed the witness and taken a more detailed statement, obtained an object sketch and diagrams of the flight path. This investigation continues. Thanks to Tom Sheets, SD MUFONGA
Illinois - Video
Chicago Jazz Fest — Laying down in the grass around 8:15 PM on August 29, 2008, I was looking up at dusk to see a weird dark purplish-red color in the sky that looks like a plane at moderate speed. I realize that if this was a plane it would be ridiculously high. I was unable to make out a shape and could only see white lights from the bottom. I follow the plane as it moved across the sky for 5 to10 minutes, when I saw another passenger jumbo jet presumably coming from O’hare airport. This plane looked normal and to be of a normal flying altitude, but the object was originally watching had to be at least 2.5x greater.
At this point I noticed that the object came to a complete halt. My friend also watched too. I don’t think we have the technology to reach such high altitudes and hover there. From the time the “plane/star” started moving again, it took roughly 2-3 seconds for it to get back up to its original velocity. I saw it bust a 90 turn and descend. It made a series of complete stops to mad 5 second dashes with other 90turns mixed in. At this point I and the other witness were completely convinced this was more of a UFO than some governmental experimental aircraft. We watched for 35-40 minutes, and it was now completely dark.
I had only been focused on this one “star/ufo” thing and my friend commented that it looked like some of the other ones were moving too. So now I chose a few stars closer to the original one i had been watching so as not to lose it, and noticed that indeed they were. The other stars I focused on were considerably less dim and presumably further up in the sky. However they were also coming to these start/stop/mad dash type of movements as well. I’m starting to think this is an invasion. Snip Thanks to MUFON CMS

ALSIP – On August 30, 2008, my girlfriend and I saw this sphere two times while sitting on our deck tonight at about 6:45 pm. The second time we saw it I grabbed my camcorder and shot this video. You will see the UFO come into frame after you see the commercial airliner come into view. I followed it as long as I could before I lost it. The ufo took the same flight path as it did the 1st time.
 |
We were looking straight south from our deck and the UFO is seen heading in a north-east direction and then seems to stop and climb out of our sight. This happened both times and there was no sound. We thought it could have been a dark colored balloon but, thought it was odd that we saw one and then another one 10 minute’s later taking the same flight path. There was little to no wind. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Indiana - UFO Changes Shape
Peru – I reported our first two sightings to you back in January. Since then we have had several other encounters but this one is the most extreme so I wanted to share it with you. On July 30, 2008, my daughter in law (Jessica) and I were going to the truck stop on Highway 31 at 9:30 PM. As soon as we left the house we saw what appeared to be a plane but brighter above Eel River Road, and noticed the light was not moving. Jessica was driving and I was in the back seat with my grandson. She slowed the vehicle down in order to get a better look at the object that was just above tree-line. The object then came closer to our vehicle (around 700 feet from us). Jessica stopped the vehicle and as she did the object also stopped.

Iowa - A Large Red Oval UFO Splits in Two
Lafayette – On August 19, 2008, at 10:25 PM, I saw a red object that at first was one a big red oval. It then split in two oval shaped pieces which were bright red in color. We first saw it when we were coming home from state center. We looked off to the side and we saw a big red oval shaped thing in the sky. We stopped and turned the car off to look at this object in the sky. We knew it wasn’t a plane, because planes don’t look like what we saw. It was incredible and the sighting lasted for about ten minutes, then got lower to the ground and got smaller. Then in a blink of an eye it was gone. Sighted by four eye witnesses names removed from this report. Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org
Massachusetts Cloud Fleet
 |
REHOBETH – About 2:30 pm, on Sunday, August 17, 2008, two witnesses and I were at a cemetery holding a “ghost hunt” research with video cameras, cell phone, and digital cameras. I suggested we take a look upward and asked “What the heck is that?” Both witnesses with me saw what appeared to be row after row of same sized circles of “vapor” spaced equally in a shape that was a perfect rectangle, traveling overhead diagonally.
I started taking pictures fumbling over my camera options trying to set it on automatic to get still shots before they got too far away. I managed to get a few digital camera shots in. I switched my Kodak easy share 2710 digital camera to video and fumbled for few minutes while I tried to focus on them. I did notice that a second fleet seemed to come into view further off. I had trouble filming the target. These were not planes, clouds, blimps, or balloons.
They were all the same size, vapor circles, traveling all together in unison, after they went in a cloud (or above) they came out a little disorganized than their regular formation, but kept traveling and apparently there was another group that joined them. No trails were visible on each individual craft. The object kept traveling quietly into the distance. There was no noise whatsoever, except a plane approaching formation of the moving objects. I could not find the plane while video taping. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Pennsylvania Cylinder above Blimp
 |
Williamsport – On Monday, August 25, 2008 I was driving eastbound on Third Street when I took two pictures with my LG EnV2 2.0 mega pixel camera phone of the Goodyear blimp. After reviewing the pictures later that day I noticed an object on the second picture of a cigar shaped object above the Goodyear blimp.
The day was clear at 12:15 PM, I was driving 10-15 mph near the Rite Aid and noticed the Goodyear blimp off to my right and decided to take a picture of it since it was flying around Williamsport after the Little League World series games. A minute later the blimp was directly in front of me when I decided to take the second picture. I held the phone camera with both hands and braced both arms against the steering wheel to stabilize the picture and snapped it.
After returning from the trip, I reviewed the pictures taken and noticed an object to be cigar shaped above the blimp at a 1 o’clock position when the picture was zoomed in on the blimp. Thanks to MUFON CMS
SHARON – Our home is only 400 feet from the Ohio State line. My daughter and I were walking her dog in our yard on August 12, 2008, and she called my attention to a very bright disc above the clouds going southeast at a steady speed. We watched until it disappeared behind clouds. Prior to losing sight of it, we saw it go behind and emerge from a small cloud. The course always remained the same. There was no contrail, or navigation lights. The normal flight path for aircraft here is east and west. This was as bright as the moon on a clear night but the moon wasn’t visible. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS

PHILADELPHIA – I took the ferry to cross the Delaware River from Penn’s Landing to Camden to go to the Sea Museum and I noticed something hovering over the bridge. I snapped only one picture about noon on August 8, 2008. It was too fast and it just disappeared as fast it appeared. I really don’t like to talk about this kind of thing, but please tell me is this a freakin UFO? Thanks to MUFON CMS
Oregon - A Triangular Craft
Salem – I witnessed an unexplained aircraft in flight while driving south on Liberty Road, shortly after crossing Salem Heights Road on August 12, 2008, at dusk. The object was in a perfect triangular shape with three white, flashing lights that almost flashed as quick as a strobe; flashing much too fast to be an airplane and there was no red or green lights visible to indicate it was an airplane. Near this location it is very rare to see an airplane from the airport and after viewing the meteor shower later that night, none of the airplanes could even compare to what I had seen earlier. Between these three flashing lights there was no visible craft that could be seen, just the flashing lights in their perfect triangle, even though it was right after sunset when there were still a few moments of light remaining which would have allowed me to identify a plane or helicopter.
Texas - Close Calls for Aircraft on Approach and Takeoff
Dallas Love Field – I witnessed one of the strangest things I have ever seen in the sky on August 21, 2008, at 11:50 Pm. I consider myself to be an experienced aircraft spotter having been involved with aviation for close to fifteen years. On the night in question, I was sitting on my back porch, it faces southeast, I sit out there at night sometimes and watch air traffic line up coming from the south with their landing lights fully on, flying north in direction. These are usually flights that are going to be landing into Dallas Love Field, in this instance there was what looked to be two aircraft in line probably about five to six miles in trail, the strange thing about it all, was the aircraft bringing up the rear was closing the distance way faster than it should have been, so I turned my attention to the lead aircraft or what I thought was an aircraft.
This was a very unusual light, I couldn’t tell at first but as it got closer I could tell this object was not an aircraft and they were not landing lights, it was the shape of an orb or sphere and orange in color, there is a navigational aid or VOR station that aircraft on this route use, its about three miles south of my home. Once an aircraft intercepts this station they turn northwest, the object in question seemed to stop in midair in the area of this turn point, it appeared the trailing aircraft had to make an early turn to avoid the object, once the trailing aircraft was parallel with object, the object just disappeared right in front of my eyes. I’ve seen some strange things in skies over the years that I can’t explain, but this one tops them all. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Houston, International Airport – Shortly after takeoff on Runway 150 Left heading south on May 26, 2008, around 10:30 AM, Continental Airlines Passenger Jet (Flight Number 1544 - Boeing 737) saw what appeared to be a rocket at his “12 o’clock position” traveling straight up leaving a contrail. The jet was en-route to Cleveland, Ohio. Apparently the FBI has concluded that the rocket was a model rocket. However, interviews with model “rocketeers” have not supported this conclusion. The location is “out-of-range” of most hobbyist-level model rockets. Apparently the pilot made no maneuvers to avoid collision with the object. According to the second tape below the FAA treated this incident as a “man-pad” event or “man- portable” air defense and refers to the firing of a hand held (shoulder) fired missile (e.g. Stinger missile).
- Listen to Radio Communication of Airline Reporting Incident to FAA (MP3)
- Listen to FAA Supervisor Discussing Incident (MP3)
Comments: More information is being acquired from the FAA through FOIA (Freedom of Information Act). The identity of this object was never determined. The investigation by the FAA and FBI concluded that the object was a model rocket. However, in the tape above the FAA treated the incident as an act of terrorism. A FOIA filed with the FBI produced a response that “no records were found in responsive to your request.” This response was received despite the fact that the FBI publically originally said that the object was a model rocket. (See later statement by FBI below.) Why the deception? Updates to this case will be posted.
An article about the incident appeared in the July 3, 2008 online issue of rocketyplanet.com (http://www.rocketryplanet.com). To quote from the article: “FBI spokeswoman Shauna Dunlap, who said her agency routinely looks into suspicious activity involving aircraft, said agents have not yet indentified what the pilot saw out there.”

Houston – On August 24, 2008, at 9:20 PM, there was an object with a round shape and luminous moving south. It seemed the craft was 500 yards high travelling at a fast speed with no sound. Then stopped and changed towards a different direction behind the clouds. I live just 5 miles from NASA. Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org
Utah - Colored Objects Changing Shapes
Bountiful — We are located about 20 miles south of Hill Air Force Base from about 9:15 PM to 10:00 Pm, on August 23, 2008,was the period of greatest activity. However, we regularly spot anywhere from two to ten of these flying shapes - no two seem to be identical. They move at a pretty good speed, cross the horizon in ten seconds or so with no noise association nor any other visible colored lights such as what the FAA would require. Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org
Washington Disc UFO on Road
 |
Olympia – The witness did not report the sighting until several years after it happened. At 71 he felt compelled to tell someone about his experience. He read about UFOs Northwest in a local newspaper and decided to file a report. The witness stated that he was going for a walk in a remote area that is about a 30 minute drive from his residence. He recalls having had a heart operation and wanted to go out for some exercise. He parked his car and started walking down a logging road area on logging road about 15 miles WSW of Olympia.
He continued to walk eastward on the road and upon rounding a bend he noticed a dull metallic disk machine partially blocking the road. He said at the time that he was relaxing and meditating while walking. The object remained motionless on the ground. He does not recall if the object was perched on a tripod. He continued to walk towards the object from about 30 seconds to 2 minutes. The object then ascended without making any sound or showing any visible propulsion. No disturbance of the surrounding area (dust, leaf movement) was noted as the object ascended. The object ascended vertically and may have tilted somewhat. It ascended vertically to the tree tops. At that point the witness heard something fall off the craft (dense material) and impact the wood of the trees. The witness did not see anything fall. The craft then made about a 20 to 30 degree ascent over the trees to the north and was quickly out of sight.
The witness did not see any beings in or out of the craft. He said that he was not abducted. The witness described the craft as dull metallic in color with windows. (See above sketch.) The object was between 50 and 100 feet in diameter and about 8 to 10 feet high. After the craft departed the witness suspended his walk and returned home. He was not scared, but wanted to leave the area immediately.
Comments: Two investigators visited the landing site and interviewed the witness. Nothing unusual was noted at the landing site. Radiation measurements were not above background and no magnetic anomalies were detected. GPS readings were taken at the site. The witness is highly educated and holds an advanced degree in biological sciences. He is retired and had a long successful career with the U.S. government. We found the witness to be quite intelligent and very credible. He does not believe that the craft was non-terrestrial and feels that the craft was probably U.S. military. He rarely reads UFO literature and does not have a special interest in the subject. Based on the witness report we have no doubt about the veracity of his experience. The identity of the object is unknown. We don’t feel that the object was U.S. military. Thanks to William Puckett UFOS Northwest http://ufosnw.com
Australia - Saucer Oval Shape
GLASSHOUSE MOUNTAINS – I was admiring the storm clouds over the Glasshouse Mountains as I waited for the bus, watching them drift. Early on I noticed one cloud which I thought ‘Hey, that’s a UFO shape!’ but figured it was a cloud. I continued to see it as I waited, the ‘cloud’ didn’t move at all even though the huge storm clouds were drifting along around it… I was amused, I took photos of it. The top of it was fluffy, like a cloud, like a topping over the smooth white saucer oval shape which was why I didn’t think anything more of it, but it was very very white where the clouds around it were all that dark grey stormy look.
The next part happened all at once. I saw an old fashioned plane enter the area, slowly, and quietly. It seemed to turn, so that it was narrow below the fluffy part… like an oval, like a () shape, then as the plane came closer it suddenly vanished… no sign of it whatsoever… leaving behind the fluffy cloud part that’d been on top. I was taking photos as I watched the old fashioned plane, and this cloud, (I can’t zoom in with this camera so it was impossible NOT to) so I have the series of photos… I will get them off the camera as soon as possible. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Canada Sightings Continue High
Newcastle – On August 7, 2008, at 3:34 AM, I was not sleeping (I work at night from home) and I was not groggy, and looking for my cat. For some reason, I looked up into the sky and saw this object moving slowly northwards. I could not see any blinking lights and there wouldn’t have been any planes about at that time anyway, nor could I hear any sound. I noticed it was moving towards a very bright star. I opened the screen door for a better look and figured it was also moving quite slowly. Still not believing what I was seeing, I averted my eyes to call my cat and within 20 seconds or so, looked back up and it had completely disappeared. I stood there for another five minutes trying to figure out where it could have gone, but it was a clear night. Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org

MONTREAL — On August 22, 2008, the pictures I’m sending you ….I took them 3 second apart at same location and I noticed after downloading them in computer that you see a winged like plane, but problem is that a plane cannot go backward and you can see it in the picture img_0773 and after on the img_0774 its way above the chemtrails and there is a oval shape in the clouds. Thanks to MUFON CMS.
Newmarket, Ontario – I was out again for my bike ride on August 25, 2008, in the evening where I have seen weird light twice now. My entire ride was very uneventful, nothing unusual. As I approached my house, I again notice the strange bright light, but this did something different. I noticed the light to the northeast heading south, and only about 30 degrees above the horizon. The previous two sightings of this object were moving towards us and almost directly overhead. Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org
Italy Fast Moving Object
 |
Sardinia – We were on holiday in at a small agriturismo establishment called “Sa Spiga” four kilometers north of St. Caterina di Pittinuri on the road to Cuglieri. We had lunch and were admiring the view and taking photographs of the sea view due west. On going through the images once back from our holiday we discovered the anomaly on one of the photographs. We did not hear any unusual sounds or actually saw the object captured in the image; it looks as though it was moving very fast though. A further image taken within a minute of the first image does not show any signs of the object. Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK /England - Square Shaped
Birmingham – A bright light was travelling fast, turning quickly and returning the way it had come from on August 10, 2008, at 11:55 PM. It was visible through a thin cloud cover and was blue/green chevron in shape, travelling very fast. Initially I thought it was a shooting star but it turned around and travelled back the way it had come.

Dorking, Surrey – On Saturday August 23, 2008, my husband and I were having a barbecue with a group of friends in our garden when one of our group happened to look upwards and noticed bright orange objects at 9:05 PM. They were orb shaped and travelling silently across the night sky. It was very dark at the time, but relatively clear and there was no wind at all.
We had no idea what they were, so I grabbed my video camera and captured some very interesting footage. When I zoomed in on them, the objects appeared flower shaped - a bright orange circular centre surrounded by smaller brighter orange circles (I’ve since extracted some intriguing stills from this footage).
I’ve trawled the internet for information and these do not look like either Chinese lanterns or fake ufo/weather balloons. We counted 20+ of them and they travelled (some in clusters, some separately) at a moderate pace and in a very controlled fashion across the night sky, only disappearing as they went past the high trees that surround our garden.
The 13 adults present were awe-struck, none of us had ever seen anything like this spectacle before, but the three children with us were really scared, fearing we were about to be invaded by aliens. The footage I took looks far more detailed than the videos I’ve seen so far.
Tynemouth – We were walking on Tynemouth north pier at 4:00 pm, (Saturday) August 23, when a square light appeared over South Shields moving slowly east and very bright. We took two pictures of it. The light was distinctly square shaped with a darker vertical band down the middle. It was bright square and moving fast, no noise. The two pictures were taken within 20 seconds of each other, just after the second picture the light square dimmed and then disappeared. We don’t know what this is but we definitely saw something. This was weird as it appeared and disappeared from nowhere.
Cambridge – A series of 20 or so pinky-orange points of light flew east, one after the after, along a path that was to the south of our position on August 3, 2008, from: 23:30-24:00. One had the sense that their flight path was slightly curved, coming in from the west or north-west but curving to their right to disappear slightly south of southeast.
Hinckley – I was at the pub with my boyfriend and his Dad at 9:00 PM, when suddenly we looked up at the sky and there were two orange glowing lights which seemed to be following each other on August 28, 2008. They were not very far apart and were moving just a bit slower than an airplane. Then we noticed that two more were a bit further behind the first two, the same in shape and appearance. We watched as they just seemed to fizzle out and disappear. The weekend before my boyfriend and I saw exactly the same thing but over Burbage Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org

SOUTHAMPTON – I first got into UFO’s through watching various footage and decided to purchase a camcorder. After of summer of trying out various filters and lenses, the latest addition, a 1000nm infrared filter combined with uv filter 0.45X wide angle lens tele-convertor 2.0X lens, I made my catch on August 23, 2008. I was in the garden generally filming the sky trying out various sun positions and filming techniques. After 30 minutes filming the sky, I decided to watch the footage and saw something rather special. After several viewings of the said footage, I felt a feeling of unease and a little unsettled because I was unsure whether the I was watching the object, or, the object was watching me!
I would estimate the object being no more than 50-80 feet above the roof-tops of the neighboring houses. The object appeared as a fairly round ball of light, with no hard edges, 6 to 10 feet in diameter. As you can see from the footage, it hovered for several seconds before accelerating at a very high speed upwards into the sky, before disappearing out of sight. Thanks to MUFON CMS

The God Hypothesis
Saturn’s Moon Enceladus Has Geysers
 |
Cassini captured the “tiger stripe” fissures on the Saturn’s moon Enceladus, from which geysers were first spotted in 2005. The discovery started a debate over whether “icequakes” grind the frozen crust of the moon enough to warm and release gases there or whether a lake is hidden within Enceladus. The extended mission flew only 29 miles above tine moons South Pole. The discovery started a debate over whether “icequakes” grind the frozen crust of the moon enough to warm and release gases there or whether a lake is hidden within Enceladus, feeding the geysers. Liquid water is considered a crucial ingredient for life.
The geyser discovery alone on Enceladus surprised scientists, who thought that the 310-mile-wide moon was too small to harbor any significant earthquake activity or a core hot enough to power geysers. The flyby images reveal more clues to the mystery of the tiger stripes.*They appear to be about 980 feet deep and have steep walls. A snowy fallout of smooth ice lines their sides. Ice boulders the size of houses surround them. “The report that they see self-sealing and evidence for movement of the vents up and down along the fractures over time is great news,
UFOs Fly Straight Lines or Ley Lines Over Sacred Sites
 |
The presence of prehistoric sites – megalithic tombs, stone circles and standing stones, Ley Lines indicated that these energy currents were known in prehistoric times and that the sites did not merely mark the route but somehow also tapped into this energy source. Frequently, important prehistoric monuments occupy sites where two or more Ley Lines intersect. Also located along these Ley Lines are sites associated with Dragons and Dragon Killers.
The early British Christians built their churches on the old sacred sites, which is a reason why most old churches are also on Ley Lines of energy coursing through the earth. The two early Saints Michael and George took over hill and dale. Both of these Saints were famous Dragon killers.
 |
(Most of St. Michael’s churches are located on hilltops such as St Michael’s Mount in Cornwall, England),
St. Michael kept a lookout over the high ridges, and St. George took over the lowlands. On St. Michael’s feast day, which was originally celebrated on the Fall Equinox, but was later changed to the 29th of Sept., everyone spends the night celebrating. Dowsers who have experimented with Ley Lines have found that many double in width at sunrise and sunset, and fluctuate during the phases of the moon and at the change of the seasons. The energy is most intense at noon on the full moon, but quiets down just before the sunset. The energy has been known to reverse direction at times. The E-line is the largest ley line found. This line circles the globe and is 70 to 100 paces in width. It is thought UFOs use the Ley Lines for navigation or possible propulsion.

St George the Patron Saint of England
The old straight paths of the serpent in Australia run across the deserts. The aborigines have the job of caring for the rock painting made by their ancestors at the points where the lines cross. Each tribe takes care of their own area, repainting the rocks at the proper time and season. They are called the Song Lines here, as the aborigines sing songs of the creation to release the power of the serpent to make the land fertile. Australia s largest monolith Ayers Rock or Uluru in aborigine is the aborigine’s center of life in Australia. They say that it marks the spot where two serpents come together.
Persia also sports absolutely straight roads, which run for miles across the land. Ethiopia also has it own straight paths connecting its standing stones. These stones were also associated with the Dragon in ancient times.
Even the Bible contains stories of the old paths. For instance the Book of Samuel contains the story of the Philistines capture of the Ark of the Covenant. They put it in a cart pulled by oxen and allowed the oxen to pull it away, destination unknown. The oxen took the straight way of Beth-Shemesh, turned not left or right, and ended up at a standing stone.
From ancient Greece, comes the story of the energy of Dragon Python, who was worshipped in Delphi as the creator of the earth. This energy connected all the ancient holy sites, and was ruled over by Castor and Pollux, the twins equated with the constellation of Gemini, and ruled over by Hermes (Mercury), who was the overseer of energy and paths.
Ancient legends abound that tell the story of the killing of the Dragon or the Serpent. These range from the Babylonian Dragon Tiamet, or the first creator. There is also the story of St. Patrick driving the serpents out of Ireland. All the old knowledge is still alive, but is hidden and embedded in the old legends, symbolism, and traditions. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_depth/sci_tech/2003/denver_2003/2769875.stm
Ancient Sites Such as Woodhenge Depict a Disk
 |
Readers Digest made this model of Woodhenge
During my four year Air Force tour in England I visited many prehistoric sites such as Stonehenge that could have been a landing place for disc shaped UFOs. A couple miles away is Woodhenge older than Stonehenge and was made from wood also in the shape of a disc. Archeologists claim the ancients worshipped the Sun or Moon, but these are balls not discs shaped. The timber circles were uncovered at Durrington Walls, the site of a Stone Age village and prehistoric earthworks were discovered in the early summer of 1925 as Squadron Leader Insall sat at the controls of his Sopwith Snipe and noticed the recently ploughed remains of several disc barrows which had been almost obliterated by decades of farming. One particular barrow in Dough Covert caught his eye as it appeared to resemble Stonehenge, visible two miles away. Woodhenge was made by skilled carpenters who lived 4000 years ago. It was 127 feet in diameter and contained 2750 yards of wooden framework that required ten acres of land. It was probably built prior to Stonehenge and may have been as a model for the stone monolith.
 |
The Squadron Leader’s subsequent aerial photography showed that there were indeed circles of holes or pits in the chalk. It consisted of an outer ditch and bank some 76 meter (250 feet) in diameter enclosing several concentric circles of holes, originally intended for timber posts long since disappeared. Unlike Stonehenge, there was no central alter stone. Further investigation showed that the monument, dated at 2300BC, was older than parts of the Stonehenge complex. For the want of a better name the investigators christened the new discovery ‘Woodhenge’, as this title seemed so appropriate it was adopted permanently.
 |
Archaeologists found evidence that two timber circles once stood within Durrington Walls around 2500 B.C. At the south of the Durrington site, five concentric rings measuring 130 feet (40 meters) across and a smaller circle with two timber rings to the north. Mike Parker Pearson of the Stonehenge Riverside Project believes Durrington Walls and nearby Stonehenge were intimately connected represent the domains of the living and the dead, respectively. The shape of Woodhenge and Stonehenge are similar to flying discs. The standard thirty foot disc could have been able to land on the top of the structures.
Ireland Prehistoric Discs God Hypothesis
I have a great interest in prehistoric sites and UFOs. Archaeologists often claim that Stone Age man worshipped the sun, moon or Mother Earth. Having chased UFOs over the UK, I feel our ancestors would also have seen these flying disc shaped objects and that they built their burial mounds to duplicate the UFOs. Many mounds were also fitted with landing pads to welcome the visitors. We can assume the extraterrestrial visitors brought gifts and knowledge and promises of everlasting life. Reverend Barry Downing, Ph.D. author of The Bible and Flying Saucers, has coined a theory termed the God Hypothesis that UFOs are found in the Bible, in the Sumerian writings, the Hindu Vedic literature, cave art and in the megalithic art and the legends and writings of people all over the world. He feels UFOs have been with us for thousands of years, were seen by the ancients and were known to carry certain saints to heaven. Further we must seek a deeper understanding of UFOs relationship with humans.
 |
If the purpose of the mound was to worship the sun would a landing area at the top be included?
The Great Mound at Knowth was built over 5000 years ago, and is similar in size to Newgrange and is surrounded by 17 smaller satellite mounds. Knowth is both the largest and most remarkable ancient monument in Ireland. Though Newgrange is more famous, Knowth has turned out to be a very interesting and important site with a collection of 261 engraved stones and some finely carved artifacts from the neolithic builders.
 |
Knowth is the site of a Neolithic Passage Grave one of the ancient monuments of the Brú na Bóinne complex in the valley of the River Boyne. It is the largest of all Passage Graves or tombs in Ireland.. Passage graves are distributed extensively all over much of Europe and many were constructed at the tops of hills or mountains, where UFOs are seen landing or hovering. Archeologists feel the ancients worshiped the sun or moon, but if the mounds represent planets they would require fewer satellite tombs. This design may represent a Mothership and 17 smaller flying discs.
 |
.
Notice there are figures in the stones above possibly representing gods? The passages are independent of each other and it contains three recesses and basin stones into which the cremated remains of the dead were placed. The right-hand recess is larger and more elaborately decorated with megalithic art. This chamber is separated from the passage by a sillstone. The chamber seems to have also contained a basin stone. This was later removed and is now located about two thirds down the passageway. The burial chambers are reached along two passages so that the sun shines into the passage.
 |
An engraved Knowth Kerbstone K15, is possibly a sundial or lunar calendar according to archeologists. The lines have been superimposed using Photoshop by Martin Byrne to show the ancient drawing. Two disc shaped objects are shown at the right apparently spinning. A large engineering type drawing of half a disc is shown at the bottom of the stone. Crashed disc UFOs reportedly are segmented like a pie cut into to pieces as shown in the drawing.
 |
The great mound of Knowth and some of the satellites, with the megalithic art of a kerbstone from the great mound inverted in Photoshop and added to the sky.
Knowth has been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. George Eogan and his team of archaeologists began excavating the Great Mound at Knowth in 1962; five years later they discovered the first passage and chamber, subsequent excavation revealed a collection of 200 carved stones that comprises a third of Western European Neolithic art. Most of the art shows multiple spirals, and some lozenges ◊that again may be depicting UFOs.
 |
Kerbston 5 could also represent a UFO. The shape of the mound structures seems to show the wrap around aspect of the typical UFO disc. The burial sites often contain small discs or models about a foot in size. Great passage mounds, dolmens, stone circles, standing stones, alignments are all an important feature of the landscape and likely indicate religious worship in some form. It would be reasonable to assume the UFOs were seen floating overhead and were associated with the recycling or transmigration of souls as explained in ancient Egyptian and Vedic writings. The ancients who lived relatively shortened lives were often concerned with the soul’s journey to paradise. Although, the actual beliefs is not known, belief in a soul and everlasting life, being carried to heaven or paradise is practically universal.

Arizona - UFOs Caught on Videotape in Storm
Tucson — I’m a videographer and on August 5, 2008, at 7:30 PM, a friend and I were videotaping an approaching storm as the lightning was really going off. I often film these storms and go back through my footage to find cool still images of lightning. I uploaded my video and started going through and flying across the top right corner of my screen was an object moving too fast to be a plane. Then I discovered that prior to seeing this object, something appears from a cloud in the middle of the screen and zigzags what appears to be into the distance then it shoots off with incredible speed and you here this sound like a ricochet. I decided I needed to go through this footage and see if I had captured any other activity.
First, I zoomed in the image and found three disc shaped objects flying together. I captured the still images for the evidence file. Earlier in the film I discovered two more UFOs. The first appeared about 100 yards away and very quickly flies up from behind a large pine tree across the street and flips then descends and appears to go directly behind my buddies’ truck. The other UFO is moving very fast through the clouds.
I discovered another object moving very fast along the horizon real low. It enters from the right as it reaches the left side of the screen in moves in a very fast circular pattern upwards the disappears into the clouds. Further along in the footage an object is seen on the right side of the screen. It appears to be moving towards us the changes direction sharply and zigzags two times then flies quickly into the distance. I zoomed up on this to discover it was 3-4 disc shaped objects flying together. My buddy and I saw nothing during the time we were videotaping.

Arkansas - Disk Seen from Airplane
On August 17, 2008, my family and I were on our way back from Costa Rica and had taken a connecting flight in Atlanta, Georgia. Upon leaving Atlanta airport on Delta Flight #125, at 4:15 PM, I was seated in the last aisle of seats on the left side of the plane.
About an hour and fifteen minutes into our flight at 5:15 PM, I was looking out the window when I saw a disk shaped ufo fly from right to left of my window heading west as we were flying east towards Los Angeles. The sighting lasted about 5-10 seconds in duration.
Our altitude was 32,000 feet and flying at 512 miles per hour. Thanks to MUFON CMS
California - UFO Photo Reflections
Olema — A group of six people were camping at Olema RV Resort when we saw a triangle shaped object (1) cruise over head at about 11 PM, on August 9, 2008. It had a single white light at each corner and red light in the center. It made no sound and was flying south toward San Francisco. Observation time, 30 seconds. (NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. We would like to correspond with the source of the report, or any of the other witnesses, in order to inquire whether the red light, alluded to above, was blinking, or solid. PD)
Illinois - Orbs
CHICAGO — I had just gotten home and unloaded the car on August 17, 2008, and went out to the yard and saw a white glowing orb hovering very low in the western sky. Planes that normally come in over the tree line were coming in way below the tree line. This orb hoveredand probably moved a couple feet in five minutes. Also, it had looked like either a red then blue flash to it quickly. This glowing orb had no FAA lights or moved like the rest of the Midway Airport traffic in the area. It also just disappeared without a trace. A day later it was glowing white in about the same place around 8:20 pm in the western sky. And it, too, was the same in appearance and had the same characteristics. Except on Sunday, the planes flew over it. The timing was about the same. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Indiana - Scariest Night of Our Life
 |
Sketch of Object and Sighting Location by One of Witnesses. Evansville — I can’t believe I am reporting this because my boyfriend and I talked about not telling anyone since this would make us seem crazy or people would just not believe us anyway. On August 17, 2008, was the scariest night of our lives. We were driving down Morgan Avenue at 9:30 PM, with corn fields on each side of the road, right across Ohio River from Kentucky. I had seen a car parked on the side of the road and then another not too far up the road. I had a feeling they were watching something and looked over at the fields and noticed two bright lights that were not close to each other, but at the same height. They looked like they were above the trees and in front of them. The color was not right or normal and was kind of a bright yellow.
The light to the left descended and disappeared, but the other light that was closer to us was still there. We turned on one of the country roads off Morgan Avenue and were trying to drive towards the lights. We could tell were getting closer and I thought we would just find out it was a radio tower. The road was dark, and my boyfriend said, “It’s moving towards us.” I was scared and told him to stop the van, and we stopped and it started moving the opposite direction. It did NOT turn around like an airplane; it just started going in the opposite direction away from us rather fast. We kept following but there were heavy trees everywhere blocking our view. In between breaks in the trees, we could see the light and it was getting smaller and disappeared.
We decided to turn around and as we turned in on his side of the road was this big long fat cigar shaped thing. It was huge. Lights were going down the sides of it, and they were going in a row down the side of it and then instantly they would go down the side of it again. I was so scared; we couldn’t believe what we were seeing and it changed my life.
It was huge and he turned and backed up and then it was on my side. The trees were heavy and thick and there was this “thing” the size of an airplane, kind of shaped like an airplane without any wings. It was kind of like a big fat whitish cigar. It was so close to us. It was going down behind the trees looking like it was landing, but it made absolutely no noise. We were so scared. I kept telling my boyfriend, “To go, go, go!” He drove fast and finally we made it back to the main highway. Duration of sighting was 8 to 10 minutes and I kept looking back and didn’t see it anymore. We could not believe what we had seen. The lights were so weird as they flickered down a row down the side of the “craft.”
Comments: Quite clearly the witnesses were very frightened by what they saw. Given the detailed report and the fact that other witnesses may have also seen something unusual this sighting cannot be explained. Thanks to William Puckett UFOS Northwest http://ufosnw.com
Massachusetts - UFO Sightings
Southborough – On August 3, 2008, at 7:45 PM, I was at a stop sign ready to take a right turn onto Route 85, when I saw what I thought was auto headlights coming and also heard a truck. I waited for the vehicle to pass, but it took longer than expected and realized it wasn’t what I’d expected. Traveling along the main road about five feet off the pavement was a triangular shaped flying object 2.5 inches in thickness and about the size of two large pickup trucks in length, with three bright lights emitting to the front of the vehicle and it was darker than stainless steel. There was one light on each side and one in the middle of the front.) and was moving slower than the 35 mph speed limit. Very shortly after passing in front of me it completely disappeared. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Canton — On August 4, 2008, at 7 PM, as I was in my backyard and observed a cigar shaped object with no blinking lights, or sounds, or wings. The object then continued through the open sky then into clouds and came out a few seconds later then disappeared into the tree line. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Sudbury – On August 4, 2008, a 7:45 PM, my husband and I were returning from a movie and noticed a strangely bright light over to my right. I was driving and could not stay focused on it, so my husband watched as I kept trying to grab glimpse as well. We discussed that it was too big and close to be a star and was not moving, so not a plane? I pulled into the drive way and it was now front and center above the tree line before us. We stood watching its reflectively bright metal, very roundish with a slight bluish tint, but it made no sound. We remained calm and my husband suggested we go inside and get a camera and binoculars. We saw a bluish light coming from our computer room, even though the computer was off.
We went outside but the camera could not pick up any details, but the binoculars showed a craft of metal in the shape of a cylinder on end or a roundish object. I could not see any “spinning” or movement of the craft itself. Later we went inside and the computer was on, even though we knew we had shut it off, and my husband asked if I smelled body odor, but I felt it was more an electrical smell with biological undertones to it. We then took a flash light and walked the entire house but found nothing else disturbed. We are pretty average people employed by corporations and work hard.

Michigan - Helicopter UFOs
Niles – On August 9, 2008, I woke from sleeping in a tent and stepped out to use the restroom at 4:24 AM. When I looked up I saw three dancing lights, all in sync with each other toward the east, like a triangle. Then I looked north and saw one and another to the west. I watched them for about five and went back to sleep in the tent. They were a bit brighter than stars. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/

MILINGTON - I was sitting in my family room doing some computer work when I heard a low flying helicopter. I grabbed my digital camera to take some pictures of it and noticed it was flying a bit erratic, and only about 400 feet elevation. I figured it may be looking for someone. I did not notice any other objects in the sky when I was taking the pictures. Later when I was showing my wife the pictures she noticed when we zoomed in on the helicopter, in every picture there was an object either around the helicopter or the helicopter facing the direction of the object(s).

On one photo I was able to zoom in and see “Police” on the side of the helicopter. Thanks to MUFON CMS.
Nevada - Sphere
Reno — On August 9, 2008, normally you can’t see bright stars in downtown Reno but when I was looking up at the sky at 1 AM, I saw a bright sphere dance around for a second or two and then watched it fly away. It flew away at such a high speed that it couldn’t have been a plane or helicopter. It was too big to be a meteorite and it flew away from the earth. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
New Jersey - Disk UFO Sighting
Somerset – My uncle called and my Mother and I ran outside to see these red and blue lights blinking. We thought it was some type of aircraft moving at a very fast pace but my uncle insisted it wasn’t an airplane. I stayed outside with him while my mother and step-father went inside. My uncle searched the sky and told me to look and I saw the white, blue, and red lights with many little aircraft with two bright lights each blinking in the dark sky, with a saucer leading the way about 10:55 PM. It was very close to us and every time the lights blinked, the outline of a saucer was visible. I was in shock since I had always wanted to see a UFO. It passed us and then we really started searching the sky. After 15 minutes, we saw two more. These looked triangular shaped by the way the lights were fixed. The aircraft were very close to one another. We watched for twenty minutes later and I had to go inside and my uncle went home but called for me to look out the window to see a triangular shaped aircraft that was following. When he got home five minutes later, there was one above his house. He got our grandma who saw it and agreed it had too many blinking lights to be an aircraft. About 11:40 PM, my uncle saw one more above the church. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com /
Scotch Plains — On August 4, 2008, at 10 PM, my family and I were sitting outside on our deck around 10 PM. Out of nowhere a thin rectangular object lit-up white above the houses. It was moving very, very fast (faster than any airplane or meteor) with an emerald green light trail, and no sounds at all were emitted. The sky lit up around like daylight and it was gone in an instant. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
New Mexico Earth Circles
 |
Albuquerque — My husband found these circle Monday, July14, 2008, and called to see if I knew anything about them. He was going into the horse arena when he noticed them. I was home all weekend and did not hear anything out in the arena.
The only thing that I can think back about that was unusual was that sometime late in the night on Saturday, I woke up to find my lab pup up on the love seat in our bedroom looking out at the arena. Once I spoke to him, he just gave me a strange look and laid back down. When there is someone or something on or near the property, he and my other dogs bark quite loudly. He did not even growl!!!
The circles are approximately 20 feet. in diameter and approximately in the ground about 1-2 inches. There are absolutely no tracks leading up to the arena.
State Director Donald R. Burleson - State Director investigated and states, “Having discussed this with the submitting witness I am convinced that she is sincere, that her secondary witnesses are sincere, and that this represents an anomalous phenomenon, i.e. not readily accountable-for by any facile means; as no crop fields are involved, one would call these “earth circles” presumably. There is no evident explanation for their being there. They created something of a media stir, locally, as Albuquerque’s Channel 7 had flyovers to photograph them.” Thanks to MUFON CMS

LORDSBURG — Ramon Ortiz writes, “We have a great deal of UFO activity going day and night I’m capturing on video. This still is taken from a video taken on August 8, 2008, shows a bright object hovering in the sky, and periodically changing shape. Many manoeuvring objects were recently captured near Pyramid Mountain. There seems to be some kind of a portal nearby.” Thanks to Benjie Medina and Ramon Ortiz
Ohio - Sphere with Orange Flame Moving Across Sky.
Wapakoneta –My wife and I were heading north on Glynwood-New KnoxvilleRoad on August 2, 2008, at 11:10 PM. We were 500 feet from the 33A intersection when I noticed an orange object in the northern sky. I stopped the car and we got out; and tried to capture a picture of the object with our cell phones. Unfortunately the pictures did not come out.
The object was moving southwest with no sound. It looked like a sphere with an orange flame moving across the sky. It could not have been a hot air balloon because there was no canopy visible and it moved too fast across the sky.
Oregon - Reflective Spinning object
SUN RIVER — I was watching our local glider rides guy on August 3, 2008, a 10:30 PM, and I spotted this sparkling object in the sky to the west of Sunriver. I grabbed the video camera and shot over 15 minutes of video and watched for over 45 minutes. It started to the west of Sunriver out over the Cascades, moved to the south east over LaPine, then headed north. It was way up there. I saw a jet flying which I guessed was at 30-36 thousand feet and this object was over twice as high. You can see in the video I shot that the object is spinning and has somewhat of an irregular shape. You can watch the video at http://share.ise10.tv/UFO/ufo_over_sunriver_8-3-08.wmv
Pennsylvania - Photos of UFOs on FOX News
 |
Bucks County – Fox TV in Philadelphia reports, “So far, nobody has reported taking a ride in any unidentified flying objects.” But people who never believed in them before say they’ve sighted them, literally, in their own backyards. Kolpan reported that, back when he was a kid, it seemed people spotted UFOs every few minutes and there was something of a panic over them. Most of that panic has subsided, but people still see them — especially people in Bucks County.
“The first time I’ve ever saw it was above this yellow townhouse,” said Denise, who believes she was a UFO witness. Denise — who said she has never believed in little green men — has seen UFOs over her backyard five times since April. “It was kind of like oval shaped and it was about the size of a car, a small car, and it had three giant headlights on the bottom of it,” she said.
Since June 25 between Bucks and Philadelphia, 44 such bogeys have been spied. How do we know? Well, people like Denise have pictures. “Between the malls to my right and Don Pablo’s is right here there’s been V-shaped objects,” said Bob Gardner, a field investigator for MUFON — the Mutual UFO Network. He says the sightings over Bucks are legion, in regular old neighborhoods, right over the Oxford Valley Mall and above the now-shuttered Don Pablo’s restaurant.
“With the universe that vast, it’s like Columbus discovered America, these aliens or extraterrestrials are trying to discover new worlds,” Gardner said. Of course, none of this explains the mystery of why the Don Pablo’s closed down. But maybe the aliens are like everyone else and love Mexican food and they abducted the kitchen staff. “I understand they do that with people they like,” said Kolpan, right before beaming out. Bucks county residents have snapped pictures of what they believe are UFOs.

There have been dozens of sightings recently in the suburban Philadelphia County, and Fox 29’s Gerald Kolpan found neighbors aren’t afraid to talk about it. http://www.myfoxphilly.com/myfox/pages/News/Detail?contentId=7234285&version=2&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=3.2.1
Texas - Disk
Denton – On August 9, 2008, I went outside to have my afternoon break, which today was at 5:25 PM, and happened to look up and see the same disc as I had seen the day before. It was shiny white/silver disc shape with a domed top. It was traveling from the northeast to the southwest, traveling at a leisurely pace. This time it traveled from the tree line to the north across the sky in front of me until it almost reached the tree line to the south, at which time it turned around and traveled back to the northeast. So again I saw this object from many angles. I was able to watch it for at least five minutes or more.
Today there was also a small plane in another part of the sky a little lower than the object, but I was able to compare the two and see that this object was not a plane. It also appeared to be about the same size as the plane but with no wings, or tail, or rudder. The sky was clear except for a few cirrus clouds to the northeast. When the object turned going back in the direction that it had come from it passed behind the cirrus clouds, yet I was still able to see it.

Washington - Video
On Sunday August 16, 2008, we had a lightning storm and I decided to go out and try to catch a picture. It was strange because there was no wind, rain or thunder; just lightning. My girl friend suggested we go out and try to take some pictures, and so I started to do a little movie on my camera and I saw a white light flying around in the cameras view screen. Then I thought to take some more pictures facing the lightning and this is what I got. I did some cut and paste to get a lot of the different shapes colors and sizes on one picture and the only other thing I did was to lighten the pictures and enhance the color that was already there. I have all the original pictures and these are all on one and enhanced for easer viewing. Could these be UFOs, if so I got a real show for my money! hanks to MUFON CMS
Australia - Light Darts Back and Fourth
Perth City – I was at work having a smoke break on the 2nd story balcony and towards Armadale I spotted a light brighter than a star. I continued to watch the light as it darted to the left to quick for a plane or helicopter to move, and then it darted back to the right and continued to move until it disappeared. It then reappeared over Perth City side in a matter of seconds and disappeared. Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org
Canada - 289 Sightings this Year
Windsor, Ontario — I happened to look up into the sky on August 2, 2008, at 11 PM, to see a bright oval shape object moving slowly in the sky at a fairly low altitude. It suddenly vanished as it picked up a tremendous amount of speed. A flash of light occurred before it vanished. The sighting lasted about 4 to 5 seconds.
Aylmer – We were crossing the Champlain Bridge over Ottawa River at 9:43 AM, on August 9, 2008, when we spotted a bright orange rectangle above the river. We drove down street parallel to the river, and it had already disappeared. I saw a huge disk with two big lights and several smaller lights around it.
I was star gazing and I saw a huge light thinking it was a plane. Then I saw it was like a disk shape with two huge lights and several smaller lights. It was dark but I could see its form and knew100% it was no plane. I yelled, “Everybody come quick. Hurry, hurry….” My cousin and brother saw it too and screamed in horror. But by the time my father came, it vanished.
Reunion Island - Possible Crash
Etang Salé — According to some witnesses who called up radio stations on August 14, 2008, about 6 PM, a flying vessel with blinking lights fell or dived into the sea two kilometers offshore from the Reunion southwestern coastline near Etang Salé. I heard air traffic control request to an Air Madagascar plane about to land at FMEP airport to check for a crash. The pilot told the control tower there were no debris nor had they heard any distress call while descending from 10,000 feet.
Information about the sighting is in the newspaper this morning. The four main witnesses say it was like a red ultra light air craft, but nobody at the two airports (FMEE and FMEP) got a flight plan neither a departure of any ultra light nor private aircraft or helicopter at this time the mystery remain unsolved. According to another witness he saw three balloons (two red and one black). These balloons could have been mistakened for an object falling into the sea.
Comments: Apparently several saw an unusual craft hit the water. According to the “second-hand” witness no regular aircraft with flight plans were missing. A link to a local newspaper article was sent, but the newspaper is written in French so no additional information could be gathered. One witness believes that the object was a balloon.

BLANFORD — On July 29 and 30, 2008, the four of us saw an object in the sky, brighter and bigger than Mars. At 10:10 PM, it was moving across the sky quite fast and as it was dimmer until it disappeared. The same thing then happened on Wednesday night, but we saw it from a different location. Other people I know have also seen similar things but when they saw it, the flying object it zoomed off in another direction and then disappeared.

Birmingham – A bright light was travelling fast, turning quickly and returning the way it had come from on August 10, 2008, at 11:55PM. It was visible through a thin cloud cover green/blue chevron in shape, travelling very fast. Initially thought it was a shooting star but it turned around and travelled back the way it had come.

Tile Hill, Coventry – A group of six people sitting in a garden on August 2, 2008, at 10:15 PM, saw nine orange lights in this formation: 1,3,2 slight gap then 2 more then a final one. The lights moved across the sky in silence, then rose into the sky and vanished. Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org
Cardiff, Glamorgan, Wales – On August 2, 2008, at 9:35 PM, we saw what we first thought was a hot air balloon on fire in the skies just east of RAF St Athan and Cardiff Wales International Airport.It looked like something on fire and was fairly motionless. Our initial thought was that it was a hot air balloon flaring up or on fire. The object then started moving at a fairly fast pace (like an aeroplanes speed) east over Cardiff.
