Perspectives
In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth. Long before humankind read the Scriptures, we glanced skyward, wondering if we were alone in the cosmos.
Unexplained sightings for literally thousands of years have culminated in a modern pastime and, for some, a lifelong search for extraterrestrials. Google “UFOs” on the Internet and you’ll find more than eight million references.
A spokesman for the Vatican said May 13 there could be life forms beyond Earth, even intelligent ones. “How can we rule out that life may have developed elsewhere?” asked The Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, Jesuit director of the Vatican Observatory. “Just as we consider earthly creatures as ‘brother’ and ‘sister,’ why should we not talk about an ‘extraterrestrial brother’?” Funes added astronomy doesn’t contradict religion and the Bible is not a book of science. He conceded the big bang theory is a “reasonable” explanation for the creation of the universe and science has vindicated astronomer Galileo. This latest revelation softens centuries of division between the church and the famed astronomer, who was deemed a heretic and forced to recant his theory that the earth revolved around the sun. Pope John Paul publicly admitted in 1992 the ruling against Galileo was a tragic error.
While science has since proven him correct, and uncovered many galactic mysteries, hard evidence of alien life and unidentified flying objects (UFOs) remains elusive. But that hasn’t curbed a belief held by millions of people around the globe – that aliens do exist and do visit earth.
This past Jan. 2, two people travelling along Highway 50 and then east on Rutherford through Vaughan saw static lights in the sky. “They did not move and made a weird shape in the sky,” according to the report posted on Canada’s largest website dedicated to UFOs – HBCC UFO Research.
Reports like this are common, according to Brian Vike, director of HBCC (Houston, British Columbia, Canada) UFO.
“I honestly wish I knew what some of the strange craft folks report were,” he said. “The majority of UFO reported sightings are explainable. A small percentage remains unknown. What these unknown craft are, this is the tough part of the UFO business.”
Vike believes we are not alone and that life exists elsewhere in the vastness of space. “Do I have actual fact that we are being visited, no,” he admits. “But I am open and listen to what folks relate to me.”
The reports continue. In fact, 2007 was a record year for sightings, Vike said.
A boomerang-shaped object was reported in Bolton July 31, 2007. While stargazing, the resident said the object was “white and grey in appearance and it had a boomerang shape to it. Almost like a banana shape … it was quite fast.”
Numerous photos were taken of a UFO Aug. 2, 2006 shortly after 9:45 p.m. The man who reported the sighting was at the Caledon Badlands near Inglewood taking photos of the moon when there was “all kinds of commotion in the trees and bushes. I got really spooked, and I don’t spook easily.” The camera kept snapping and apparently captured 15 photos of a UFO – “one just starting to break the atmosphere, two fully engulfed in the atmosphere, three cooling down; four sitting still; five leaving going back to space …”
Government secrets?
Aside from sporadic individual reports, Britain’s National Archives released 1,000 pages of formerly secret UFO documents May 14. The documents contain UFO sightings from the 1970s through 2002 and several remain unexplained. However, Britain’s defence ministry did not find any evidence of alien activity or alien spacecraft. The archives are releasing files in light of numerous freedom of information requests about government UFO reports. Defence officials noted the reports were only investigated to ensure there were no enemy aircraft over British airspace, and never attempted to solve the UFO riddle.
Vike said the official Canadian government stance is they are not hiding anything from the public and they are not investigating UFOs. However, Vike said from his sources in both the Canadian and U.S. military, “we as the general public haven’t a clue as to what is really going on at times. Yet the military is, from time to time, scrambling aircraft to intercept, or in hopes of intercepting, craft of unknown origin.”
The official roadblocks are evident. Vike said any time he goes through official channels in search of information, “it seems no one knows anything.”
The Library and Archives Canada has a collection of government records on UFOs, gathered from the Department of National Defence, Department of Transport, National Research Council and Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The documents were accumulated between 1947 and the early 1980s and consist of some 9,500 digitized documents. The National Research Council began collecting reports of UFO sightings in 1968. The NRC stopped collecting reports in 1995.
There is no department in Ottawa dedicated to investigating UFOs, according to a spokesman from Dufferin-Caledon MP David Tilson’s office. The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), a Canada-U.S. partnership, tracks all aircraft, including those of unknown origin, within Canadian airspace, with a view to identifying them. All aircraft require proper clearance and identification, according to military or International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) agreements.
Federal cabinet documents from the 1960s reveal former prime minister Lester Pearson was intrigued by reports of UFOs in the night skies over southern Ontario and Great Lake states.
One of the most infamous UFO stories of the century – The Roswell Incident – involved the recovery of materials near Roswell, New Mexico, on July 7, 1947. The U.S. military maintains it was a top-secret research balloon that crashed, but there has been intense speculation and questioning ever since, giving birth the UFO phenomenon. UFO proponents believe an alien craft crashed; bodies were recovered and the military covered up the incident.
Some recognition of the UFO phenomenon came from a top-level source.
“If I become president, I'll make every piece of information this country has about UFO sightings available to the public and scientists. I am convinced that UFOs exist because I have seen one,” said former U.S. president Jimmy Carter.
Fast-forward to Sept. 21, 2006 when a Caledon family of five saw strange, flashing lights outside their window. “Before this light descended behind our tree line, the light changed to what looked like a flashing white strobe light. It stopped its descent and started to move very quickly horizontally right and then left about three or four times … a second red light started descending in the same path the first one took. Again the light turned white and flashing …”
One of the most well known sightings in Vaughan occurred July 13, 2005 at about 11:30 p.m. Several people reported seeing a disc-like object with an orange glow to it. The light faded in and out and other lights moved across the object. It occurred on Highway 7 above the Ikea store.
These stories, and others that come to HBCC UFO on a daily basis, fuel the fire for Vike.
He said he’s personally had three UFO sightings, mostly in 2002 outside of Vancouver, “when our area went through a major UFO flap.”
An avid UFO buff since 2000, Vike said his fascination with anything of unknown nature led him to create HBCC UFO, now a major Canadian website with a worldwide following. Vike, 57, has been a science fiction fan since childhood. He was a consultant for the American History Channel and its UFO Hunter series and he said he’s waiting to hear back from another film company interested in putting together a UFO-related program.
An object with an aura around it was seen in Caledon Sept. 11, 2004. “I looked to the west sky and there it was … it got brighter and gave off some type of aura … it was zigzagging and doing circular movements.”
Skeptics
What about the skeptics and naysayers?
Vike said those who are adamant that we are, in fact alone in the cosmos, are not open-minded enough to at least consider the idea of earth being visited by other life forms.
World-renowned astrophysicist Stephen Hawking upset the UFO community with some comments made during an April lecture at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
“We don’t appear to have been visited by aliens,” Hawking said. “Why would they only appear to cranks and weirdoes?”
In a previous lecture entitled Life in the Universe, Hawking touched on the chances that humans would encounter alien life as we explore the galaxy. While he conceded many planets could have life on them, considering many were formed billions of years before our earth, he wondered why the galaxy isn’t filled with activity.
“So why is the galaxy not crawling with self-designing mechanical or biological life forms? Why hasn't the Earth been visited, and even colonized. I discount suggestions that UFOs contain beings from outer space. I think any visits by aliens, would be much more obvious, and probably also, much more unpleasant.”
Renowned astronomer and astrophysicist Frank Drake created the Drake equation in 1961 that estimates the number of “communicating civilizations” in our Milky Way galaxy. Using his formula, current conservative estimates put that number at 1,000 (planets with intelligent life) in our galaxy alone. Astronomers estimated there are 80 to 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe. Drake was the founder of SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) and the SETI Institute, founded in 1984, has a mandate to “explore, understand and explain the origin, nature and prevalence of life in the universe.”
Down to earth, Caledon’s clay hills, which resemble a Martian landscape, seem to draw visitors of both the earthly and extraterrestrial kinds.
One person saw different objects in the sky Sept. 22, 2004 on visit to the Badlands. “The first one was in the northwest and it was very bright with almost a strobe light effect – white, green and red lights. It moved very fast up and down like the (amusement park ride) Drop Zone. Then we looked to the east and there was another one, again it moved and turned in the same way.”
Believers seen undaunted by a lack of evidence or criticism in their cosmic fascination.
“I know from my experiences they visit throughout the winter … I’ll keep watching,” said a Caledon resident who saw rapidly flashing lights in November of 2004.
“If you can get people to stay long enough to witness it once, you pretty much have a new believer,” wrote another.

North Welland, Ontario A Black Triangular UFO (Excellent Diagram)
Posted: January 15, 2009
Date: August 31, 2008
Time: 10:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: North Welland, ON.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Triangular.
HBCC UFO Research has re-posted this report as a very nice diagram was sent in and I am adding this to the original report.
Full Description of event/sighting: My husband was watching a bright light in the sky coming from the south for about 10-15 min. It went over our neighbor's house about 500 ft. in the air. We could see it was triangular in shape with 4 bright white lights and 1 red light in the centre, all lights being underneath the craft. My husband ran in the house and brought out the binoculars and we looked at it for about 2 minutes as it just floated by with no sound whatsoever, heading north. Looking through the binoculars the craft seemed to be black with 1 bright white light in the front and 3 white lights across the back and 1 red light in the centre, all glowing not flashing. The bright lights all seemed to be pointing downward. The craft was travelling slower than a Cessna and that's what caught our attention. We have checked quite a few websites to see if anybody else saw this craft, but haven't found any. We have never seen anything like this before and we know it was definitely not an airplane as it made absolutely no noise.
Additional Information:
Hi Brian, Sorry it took so long to get back to you but with Christmas and everything we have been quite busy.
To answer your questions, my husband and I didn't feel anything strange coming from the craft, no strange sensations either. We were just in awe of what we had just seen. The night was very clear and we didn't see any other aircraft's in the sky at the time. It was very quiet, as it usually is in our neighborhood on a Sunday night. That is why we are so surprised that no one else witnessed this.
We have attached a drawing which my husband drew to give you an idea of what we saw that night. As you can see from the drawing, the lights were coming from inside the craft as they seemed to be recessed. No lights were flashing at all, they were all shining including the red light. With the binoculars we could see that the lights were recessed up in the craft and the red light was on its surface.
It was close enough while looking through the binoculars that we had to move back and forth with the binoculars to see the entire craft. We could see the lights as clear with the binoculars as if we were standing in front of our house looking at a street light, it was that clear.
My husband and I took turns looking at it through the binoculars 3 or 4 times each before it went out of our sight.
This is something that my husband and I will never forget for the rest of our lives.
Hope this helps. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact us. Regards.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Edmonton, Alberta Craft With Strobing Lights
Posted: January 15, 2009
Date: Summer of 2008 (not sure the exact date)
Time: Between 1:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m.
Something to mention, last summer I saw what I at first thought was a plane, although I honestly do not recall seeing a body. It was flying low as though on approach, it was slow, and honestly do not recall any sound, perhaps because I was just so fascinated by the strobing lights. It was early morning, between 1 am and 3 am. The odd thing about this was it had many strobing lights on it, and what appeared like a lower platform of strobing lights, as though suspended 5 to 10 feet below on some kind of metal framework. I had totally forgotten about this until just recently and was amazed when I remembered this. I was awestruck when I had seen this "thing" and do recall wondering what the heck I was looking at. Just the fact that I had totally forgotten about it kind of spooks me. I had watched it travel north until it was below the horizon, maybe 20 seconds.
Do planes have strobing lights on them? These lights were very bright, a blue/white in color, and very defined. No hallow of light emanating from them. I would also guesstimate there were around 10 lights in total. There was no consistent pattern to the strobing that I recall.
The object was at most 2 blocks over to the east of me, and perhaps 80 to 100 feet above the ground. As to size,by that I mean the expanse of the lights. At arms length it was about the size of two cassette tapes stacked one on top of the other.
Thank you very much to the witness for their sighting report.

Scarborough, Ontario Three Small Round Orange/Red Ball Of Light (UFO)
Posted: January 15, 2009
Date: September 2008
Time: 9:00 - 10:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Sky-south-easterly (Scarborough, ON Canada.)
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 3
Shape of objects: Small, round, orangish-reddish balls.
Full Description of event/sighting: I love to look up at the stars when possible within city limits and thought that the reddish globe I saw was Mars, until it started moving erratically, maybe some kind of spotlights. After some 15 minutes or so the pattern started to change to a more fluent and graceful type of aerial dance if you will for another 5 minutes or so. I called someone to come and watch, because this was not spot or search lights. Before they could get to me this small globe shot off in a easterly direction. I watched in awe at the speed, but as if that were not enough, it met up with two other of these same objects. They all hovered for a few seconds, did a little up and down bouncing, then some circles and suddenly shot up all at once at such an amazing speed and just disappeared just as someone came to my side to bear witness, but too late to see this mesmerizing event.
Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

Canadian UFO Sighting Reports - 551 Reported Sightings For 2008
Posted: January 14, 2009
The below total number of Canadian sighting reports were received by HBCC UFO Research and UFOINFO.
Total number of Canadian reported sightings for 2008 is 551,
Brian Vike, Director of HBCC UFO Research can be reached at 250 845 2180. But please note, this number is to be used only for anyone wanting to file a UFO report or the media if they would like to contact me. Or you can write to me at: hbccufo@telus.net or through the HBCC UFO Research website.
*HBCC UFO Research* and *UFOINFO* together have received 551 written and audio UFO sighting reports from January 1, 2008 up until December 31, 2008 and in 2008 we received more reports than we did in 2007.
Ontario, in 2008 leads the Canadian provinces with 192 reported sightings, followed by British Columbia with 179 cases.
Below is a break down on reports received by HBCC UFO Research and UFOINFO from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008.
Sighting reports from January 1, 2008 onward until the end of the year. (December 31, 2008)
British Columbia - 179 reported sightings.
Ontario - 192 reported sightings.
Alberta - 47 reported sightings.
Nova Scotia - 21 reported sightings.
Quebec - 29 reported sightings.
Manitoba - 23 reported sightings.
Saskatchewan - 28 reported sightings.
New Brunswick - 22 reported sightings.
Newfoundland - 7 reported sightings.
Yukon - 2 reported sightings.
Northwest Territories - 1 reported sighting.
Total number of Canadian reported sightings for 2008 is 551 cases.
The sightings range from meteor sightings, aircraft, stars, the ISS, etc. Although many of the sightings were certainly explainable, there were some really amazing cases in which no answers could be found and I am still looking for a rational explanation for some events.
One of the most amazing UFO events took place between Houston and Burns Lake, British Columbia on August 3, 2008 where two men were stopped by a UFO which was hovering in front of their vehicle, not once but twice on the same evening. Also on August 8, 2008 in the same general area, Uncha Lake South Of Burns Lake, British Columbia a number of eyewitnesses watched a large platform with two circle objects attached to it floating/drifting across the evening sky and finally disappearing over a local mountain. This craft? UFO was estimated to be 200 to 500 feet in length. Also the Sasquatch paid us a visit in northern British Columbia where I reside in Houston. Also the critter was seen in several other places in B.C. as well, so a good year for Sasquatch sightings around the end of July 2008 onward.
I should also add the Okanagan in British Columbia is again proving to be a Canadian hotspot for reported sightings. In particular, Vernon, B.C. has been a very active area with 32 reported sightings in 2008.
Other amazing cases came in from Ontario and other provinces as well. I would also like to note, the 551 reported sightings came into just *HBCC UFO Research* and *UFOINFO*. There are many other UFO organizations across Canada and in the United States that are receiving Canadian UFO cases. So the total will be much greater for each of the Canadian provinces by the end of December 31, 2008.
I couldn't even guess how many UFOs reports were reported from the United States and other areas of the world. Most sightings do come into us from the United States and we are very happy to receive them, actually some of the best cases are coming from the U.S. and go back numerous years. I should also add, there was a huge amount of sightings that came in from the United Kingdom. These were over the orange lights/object sightings. Many of these objects reported turned out to be Chinese Lanterns, but certainly not all of the sightings were this.
Like I always tell folks, no matter when the UFO event took place, please send in your report, either to HBCC UFO Research or UFOINFO as we are here to help where we can, and are extremely interested in what the witness has to say. I also keep harping on an important part of this UFO topic, and that is that the witness who is reporting to us, is that their private/personal information is completely confidential.
Don't forget to file your sightings, new or old, John and I appreciate everyone of them.
I should also add that if any of you have had a sighting of something unusual in the past or the present and would like to talk about the event in a taped interview for the radio show, just drop me a line and I am happy to call you up.

*HBCC UFO Research* and *UFOINFO* together have received 551 written and audio UFO sighting reports from January 1, 2008 up until December 31, 2008 and in 2008 we received more reports than we did in 2007.
Ontario, in 2008 leads the Canadian provinces with 192 reported sightings, followed by British Columbia with 179 cases.
Below is a break down on reports received by HBCC UFO Research and UFOINFO from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008.
Sighting reports from January 1, 2008 onward until the end of the year. (December 31, 2008)
British Columbia - 179 reported sightings.
Ontario - 192 reported sightings.
Alberta - 47 reported sightings.
Nova Scotia - 21 reported sightings.
Quebec - 29 reported sightings.
Manitoba - 23 reported sightings.
Saskatchewan - 28 reported sightings.
New Brunswick - 22 reported sightings.
Newfoundland - 7 reported sightings.
Yukon - 2 reported sightings.
Northwest Territories - 1 reported sighting.
Total number of Canadian reported sightings for 2008 is 551 cases.
The sightings range from meteor sightings, aircraft, stars, the ISS, etc. Although many of the sightings were certainly explainable, there were some really amazing cases in which no answers could be found and I am still looking for a rational explanation for some events.
One of the most amazing UFO events took place between Houston and Burns Lake, British Columbia on August 3, 2008 where two men were stopped by a UFO which was hovering in front of their vehicle, not once but twice on the same evening. Also on August 8, 2008 in the same general area, Uncha Lake South Of Burns Lake, British Columbia a number of eyewitnesses watched a large platform with two circle objects attached to it floating/drifting across the evening sky and finally disappearing over a local mountain. This craft? UFO was estimated to be 200 to 500 feet in length. Also the Sasquatch paid us a visit in northern British Columbia where I reside in Houston. Also the critter was seen in several other places in B.C. as well, so a good year for Sasquatch sightings around the end of July 2008 onward.
I should also add the Okanagan in British Columbia is again proving to be a Canadian hotspot for reported sightings. In particular, Vernon, B.C. has been a very active area with 32 reported sightings in 2008.
Other amazing cases came in from Ontario and other provinces as well. I would also like to note, the 551 reported sightings came into just *HBCC UFO Research* and *UFOINFO*. There are many other UFO organizations across Canada and in the United States that are receiving Canadian UFO cases. So the total will be much greater for each of the Canadian provinces by the end of December 31, 2008.
I couldn't even guess how many UFOs reports were reported from the United States and other areas of the world. Most sightings do come into us from the United States and we are very happy to receive them, actually some of the best cases are coming from the U.S. and go back numerous years. I should also add, there was a huge amount of sightings that came in from the United Kingdom. These were over the orange lights/object sightings. Many of these objects reported turned out to be Chinese Lanterns, but certainly not all of the sightings were this.
Like I always tell folks, no matter when the UFO event took place, please send in your report, either to HBCC UFO Research or UFOINFO as we are here to help where we can, and are extremely interested in what the witness has to say. I also keep harping on an important part of this UFO topic, and that is that the witness who is reporting to us, is that their private/personal information is completely confidential.
Don't forget to file your sightings, new or old, John and I appreciate everyone of them.
I should also add that if any of you have had a sighting of something unusual in the past or the present and would like to talk about the event in a taped interview for the radio show, just drop me a line and I am happy to call you up.

Time: 7:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Downtown Toronto, Yonge & Bloor.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Sphere.
Full Description of event/sighting: I can see from the window of my apartment a bright light in the sky. It has a greenish glow and it has been in the sky moving very slowly for the last 2 hours. I can still see it and until this moment I cannot understand what it is. I saw a few airplanes and helicopters crossing the sky and this light looks brighter than any star, airplane or anything in the sky right now. I have taken photos with my phone and you can see how it has been moving for the last 2 hours.
Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

Edmonton, Alberta Silver/Blue/White Lights
Posted: January 13, 2009
Date: January 13, 2009
Time: 5:15 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Southeast.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Cannot tell.
Full Description of event/sighting: The first UFO within 2 minutes from each other: I could not forget the first time I saw it so much so I wrote it in Vike's website (Jan 18, 2008 sighting). This sounds crazy but it is almost 1 year ago (Jan 18, 2008) that the same type of craft appeared again. While driving home, I saw very bright lights (blue, silvery white) at a far distance. Because of the distance the lights were very bright and flashing like a strobe light; it was way too bright and flashing too quickly for a plane or helicopter esp at that distance (maybe 1-2 km away). It was moving west to east then north east. It moved very, very quickly. I am not great at judging speed but for an object that far away, it moved across the sky very, very fast unlike the steady speed of a plane. If you were not paying attention, people might think it was a plane because of the similar lights but as mentioned, it was flashing too quickly and too bright for a plane. This object covered a distance est 1-2 km in about 20-35 seconds.
The second UFO (2 minutes later) When I decided to take another exit because of the slow traffic, I turned towards the west and I saw a similar object. It was flashing very quickly but only of a silvery strobe. It was not flashing in sync as the first object but 2 seconds of quick flashes then completely dark for 1 second and flashing again for another 2 seconds. It moved south west but just as quick as the first object. I could not believe what I was seeing. Two very unusual strobe lights crafts. This object when south and it was hard for me to guess the distance because of the direction and my perspective but it was very fast.
Both objects disappeared from the horizon too quickly at that distance of viewing. Ever since my first sighting in 1984 of October while on my way to Fort McMurray, AB, (and we were 4 university students as witnesses), I will never stop looking in the skies for these crafts. I wrote that experience into Vike's report log many years later. All four of us even years later would wondered what that was. I will never stop looking and hopefully in my lifetime there will be undisputable answers that we are not alone.
Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

Ajax, Ontario Green And Red Colored Spheres (UFOs)
Posted: January 13, 2009
Date: January 13, 2009
Time: 6:15 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Ajax, Ontario from my front porch.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Spheres.
Full Description of event/sighting: My daughter and I walked out of our house towards the van in the driveway. We were facing east. Suddenly, my daughter froze and said 'did you see that?'. She had a look of fear and shock on her face. She looked up and saw what she thought was a satellite or maybe even the space station slowly moving across the sky. It was a greenish sphere and it was blinking. She didn't think too much because she thought it was a satellite and has seen them many times in the past. Suddenly she noticed a red sphere down and to the right of the green one just hovering in one spot in the sky. She watched it for a few seconds and then it suddenly took off at a high rate of speed and had light 'shooting' out the back of it. It shot across the sky and then vanished.
Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

Man Witnesses 'Odd' Sighting In Vaughan Sky - UFO

UFO researcher says cluster of red lights 'weird'
BY KIM CHAMPION
Carmine Montemarano saw it and he wants to know if you saw it, too.
It was on Dec. 26 about a half an hour or so before midnight, when something that looked like fireworks caught Mr. Montemarano's eye. He was standing outside in the driveway of his cousin's house on a quiet street in the Major MacKenzie and Islington area of Kleinburg, bidding goodnight to relatives after a Christmas gift exchange.
"There was five or six bunched up bright, red lights," he said. "They were a little bit bigger than stars, and they were pretty far up there."
Both Mr. Montemarano and his cousin, Carmine, stared at the cluster of lights for a good five or six minutes, he said. They tried to capture images on an iPhone but the objects were too far away. The pair then watched as they flickered, and vanished. And no, they weren't drinking that night, Mr. Montemarano said.

Large Greenish Object Seen Over North Battleford Towards Midale
Posted: January 9, 2009
Date: February 21, 2005
Time: 10:00 p.m.
Objects: 1
Witnesses: 1
I received a phone call from a gentleman who reportedly seen something he had never witnessed before.
Around 10:00 pm Monday night, a very large bright greenish-blue round light traveled NW to SE, over the city of North Battleford. It appeared as though the object was within 10 miles of his home. He described the object as traveling slower than a falling star and unlike any airplane he has ever seen. The lighted object was so large, :larger than an airplane". It appeared as though it had traveled towards the hospital near the river. The gentleman almost jumped into his car to drive down to the river to see if it had landed. The object then disappeared over the horizon.
Thank you to the witness.
Barb's note: The object described above disappeared in the SE direction. I received a report from a witness who reported a similar object that night. The object from North Battleford disappeared in the very same direction as Midale (SE). It may very well be the same object. First seen in North Battleford at 10:00pm, traveling SE to Midale where a witness saw similar object at 10:15pm.
An interesting note to point out is that the gentleman I spoke with does not have access to a computer, has not seen NWSURC's website and was not aware of the Midale report filed with NWSURC.
Donated to Brian Vike, HBCCUFO from the private collection of Barb Campbell, (formerly) NWSURC.

Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan Red Green And Blue Lights
Posted: January 9, 2009
Date: February 15, 2005
Time: 1:30 a.m.
Duration: 1 hour.
Object: 1
Witnesses: 2
I was watching TV, when I looked out the south window on the ground floor. I saw what looked like a really bright star, only it looked like it was moving. I watched it for a few minutes and I was sure it was moving. But, I thought maybe my eyes were just playing tricks. So I went and woke up my mom on the third floor. She came to the south window in that room and looked to the southwest. We could both see the object. It was hovering about 1km in the air, about 20km west and south of us. It was quite small, but we could see colored red, green and blue lights once in a while.
It won't up and down and side to side, but basically in the same general area. Sometimes it went really fast upwards, sometimes only moving a bit. Then it just disappeared.
Received report via online form.
Thank you to David for your report. (Witness granted permission to release name)
Barb's note: Based on David's description of possible distance; it's possible that the object appears to be hovering over an area somewhere around McLean, Balgonie, Jameson or Davin. If you are from around those areas and you believe you may have witnessed something unusual, please contact NWSURC.

Stewiacke, Nova Scotia A Fast Moving Cigar Shaped UFO
Posted: January 9, 2009
Date: January 9, 2009
Time: 9:15 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Stewiacke NS.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Cigar shaped.
Full Description of event/sighting: An object to my right at about 2 o'clock high caught my attention as I was driving along the 102 between Stewiacke and Shubenacadie exits, just after crossing the Shubie river bridge. There was a very bright reflection from it and it had a mirror like finish. The sun was to my left and was hidden from my left vision by my visor. At first I thought it was a plane, about the size of an F18. It began to turn in an arc in front of me and then I noticed that it had no wings. There also was no vapor trail. It could have been about 1000 feet up or so. It moved very fast, after it finished the arc to the south, it sped away from me in a straight line and soon became just a shiny speck, then disappeared. The whole sighting lasted about 5 seconds as it was moving faster that any aircraft I have ever seen.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Cigar shaped.
Full Description of event/sighting: An object to my right at about 2 o'clock high caught my attention as I was driving along the 102 between Stewiacke and Shubenacadie exits, just after crossing the Shubie river bridge. There was a very bright reflection from it and it had a mirror like finish. The sun was to my left and was hidden from my left vision by my visor. At first I thought it was a plane, about the size of an F18. It began to turn in an arc in front of me and then I noticed that it had no wings. There also was no vapor trail. It could have been about 1000 feet up or so. It moved very fast, after it finished the arc to the south, it sped away from me in a straight line and soon became just a shiny speck, then disappeared. The whole sighting lasted about 5 seconds as it was moving faster that any aircraft I have ever seen.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Northwest London, Ontario A Dark Colored UFO
Posted: January 8, 2009
Date: June 11, 2008
Time: 7:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Northwest London Ontario.
Number of witnesses: 6
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Ellipsoid.
Full Description of event/sighting: I was standing on the back deck of my house with my parents and roommates at around 7pm on 11 June 2008. Looking north, we were able to see a single object in the sky. It was dark in colour (it was still light outside) and appeared to be off in the distance. It was moving rather rapidly in an odd manner (loops, circles, lines, abrupt changes of direction, etc.), like no bird or airplane I have ever seen. Due to the distance at which we observed it, I find it unlikely that it was a kite or model airplane. I ran inside to grab binoculars or a camera to obtain a closer look or film the object, however I could locate neither and by the time I went back outside the object had disappeared. Naturally I consider it to be a UFO as I have not been able to identify it based on any common aerial object I can think of, whether it was of extraterrestrial origin or not is a whole other matter. I am interested to know if anyone else in the London, Ontario area witnessed something similar on or around the date of 11 June 2008.
Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

Bauline, Newfoundland An Orange Glowing Oval Shaped Object
Posted: January 7, 2009
Date: October 31, 2008
Time: Approx: 2:00 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Bauline.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Oval.
Full Description of event/sighting: I was driving home and when I looked north toward the water and saw an orange glow in the sky. It did not move much. I used to work for an aerospace company and I know aircraft and this was nothing local. I'm thinking this is linked to a report for October 30, 2008 at approx: 8:00 p.m. Just so you know, a lady called into the Open Line show on VOCM the next morning, which I just happened to catch. I as well called (not on the air) and said I saw something as well.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Downtown Toronto, Ontario In Western Sky Bright Light
Posted: January 4, 2009
Date: January 3, 2009
Time: 8:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Downtown Toronto In Western sky.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Bright Light hard to tell.
Full Description of event/sighting: I saw a very bright light in the evening sky. I live in Toronto in a high rise apartment. The light was very shimmering and did not look like a normal Planet or Plane of any kind. My friend also thought that this was not a normal object. After a few hours it seemed to fade at first I thought that it had disappeared behind clouds, but it never appeared again. While watching the light I felt peaceful. I wonder if anyone could tell me what this was ? I have had other sightings for many years and would really like to know if others saw the same thing last night.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

South East Of Anola Manitoba Bright Light With Different Colors
Posted: January 4, 2009
Date: December 15, 2008
Time: 2230-present (2330)
Location of Sighting: South East of Anola MB.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Shape changing, cylindrical?
Full Description of event/sighting: Was driving home from Winnipeg to Anola and noticed a bright light (like a very bright star). But this light was green, blue and red in color. The object didn't seem to be moving. Upon getting home and using the binoculars, we noticed the red light was in the center of the object with blue lights surrounding it. The object seemed to be vibrating or moving in tiny circles. Occasionally the blue would turn green. As I am typing this the object remains there. My daughter videotaped it. And my husband also witnessed it. Over the last hour the object has moved slowly higher in the sky. I am going back to watch it now. What is this?
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Northern Port Coquitlam, British Columbia An Extremely Large UFO
Posted: January 3, 2009
Date: January 2, 2009
Time: Around or just after midnight.
Location of Sighting: Northern PoCo, aircraft height or higher altitude.
Number of witnesses: 4
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Looked almost like a fireball (tail) but front part was some circular deff. Some sort of vehicle, round half moon shaped and about 10 times bigger than a plane.
Full Description of event/sighting: Sitting around in my living room, had my brother and two other friends over. We were drinking, just maybe had 2 beer so. There is no way in hell that I could have been seeing things or hallucinating. The way we were all faced, I was really the only one able to see the object through the window as I was sitting down and my head pointed. I mentioned it, the overall reaction by the way I described it was some sort of fireball or something. But I know what I saw was nothing of the sort, It was huge and I have never seen anything so fast ever in my life. I don't believe mankind has the technology to develop any kind of vehicle that large or fast, as fast as I seen it, it disappeared. Anyway, as I looked up to the direction of the object, it was so surreal, it looked like it gave the impression it was on fire because it did leave a tail of vapor, but I believe that just may have been the velocity of the speed of the object. Secondly the front part itself, was some kind of made, definitely a structure. Round in shape but maybe more like a moon shape, glowing and it looked like there were slats built into the round moon like shaped structure that were see through. I would guess it was about the size of 10 full sized airplanes it was that huge. Fast as I seen it, it was gone.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Charlotte, North Carolina A Rectangular Shaped UFO
Date: September 15, 2004
Time: 5:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Charlotte, NC.
Number of witnesses: 1 +
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Rectangle UFO approximately size of tennis court.
Full Description of event/sighting: I was driving in 5 o'clock traffic on I-85 in north Charlotte, NC towards UNC-Charlotte campus. I was taking an exit ramp towards the university when I looked up in front of me about 150 yards away a rectangular shaped object was floating silently above the tree line. At first I thought it must be a banner being pulled by a plane but I quickly realized that wasn't the case. It was as large as a tennis court. The object was covered with encased reflective panels that were dark army green and may have been reflecting the trees below.
I drove slowly and watched it in utter amazement for about 15 seconds. I had time to take off my sunglasses to make sure of what I was seeing. As the traffic crept down the road the UFO floated behind a tree line and I couldn't see it anymore. I didn't even think to look at other drivers to see if they reacted to it.
As I got closer to the campus, I noticed two cars that were pulled off the road. I was kind of in a daze and was locked in with the rest of traffic so had to keep going.
I've researched rectangle shaped UFO reports and find many similarities such as most witnesses having the initial reaction that it must be a banner being pulled by an airplane. In fact, another rectangle UFO was reported in Charlotte, NC in September 2008, in the same area of town. Seeing this object did change my life in that I know for certain now that UFO's are real and they can do anything.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Description: I am not sure in honesty what this was- I don't even believe in UFO's but I must admit that I am baffled. I was standing outside the front of my house with my sister when we saw a bizarre orange light in the sky. It was moving rather quickly and did not seem to be at a tremendous altitude. It was absolutely silent and quite disconcerting. It seemed to be moving at about the speed of a helicopter, however at the altitude it appeared to be at a helicopter
would have been clearly audible. After 30 seconds meandering across the sky it stopped and then curved about 20 degrees in movement. Then after a brief pause of 10 seconds it appeared to increase in altitude at a pretty fast rate. It dimmed to red and disappeared with very little warning in a matter of 10 seconds.
I noticed another 2 reports on this website locally to here (Strood, Kent is part of the same conurbation and Gravesend is 10 minutes drive away), and have considered the possibility of a UFO balloon or a weather balloon. However it did not appear to move like any balloon I have ever seen as it's speed seemed more akin to that of an aircraft or helicopter. Indeed I would have assumed that it was one or the other of those if it weren't for the fact that it was dead
silent, it appeared to stop for a brief while quite suddenly, the light it gave off was not like any I had seen in the sky before and it's very rapid increase in altitude and its subsequent disappearance.
Thanks for taking the time to respond, I doubt very much that it has anything to do with aliens or anything like that (after all, if they could travel trillions of miles to get to this planet I feel they would also take care not to be so obvious about it) but it was still bizarre and I felt that I should relate it to somebody who has spent more time collecting information on such objects (after all, I would describe it as a UFO as I certainly couldn't identify what it could be).
Thank you again for your time, the event has certainly got me thinking about things a fair amount more and I am certainly less dismissive about the subject of UFO's as a consequence.

Wigston, Leicester, Leicestershire, England Bright Orange/Red Object
Date: December 24, 2008
Time: 2030 - 2130
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Triangular.
Weather Conditions: Fine.
Description: In my garden on Wigston Meadows, myself and my partner saw a bright Red/Orange glow which at first I thought was a plane although after a while I noticed the lights were not flashing, just on a constant glow as it got nearer I was expecting to hear its engine as the speed it was going it would have to of been quite low. As it got over head there was no noise just silence but it was not high enough to be a plane because of its fast speed then it just went very dim and just vanished. I would love to know if anyone else witnessed this as I never really believed in this sort of thing until now (and no it wasn't Father Christmas as I've been joked with).

Shape of objects: Orange ball.
Weather Conditions: Cloudy.
Description: Whilst out in the courtyard for some fresh air after Christmas dinner I saw a very bright fiery object in the sky directly overhead. My first impressions where that it was a plane on fire because of the intense orangey red light emanating from the object. However it slowed down to a standstill at which stage I ran for a witness, my son and his wife duly came out and confirmed the sighting. At this stage the object started to move in a northerly
direction and the fieriness of the object changed into three circular disks in a triangular formation as it moved away. It must have been at low altitude as it was under the cloud cover. My grandson reckoned it was Santa Claus going home after a busy night.

Flockton, Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England Round Orange Light
Date: December 25, 2008
Time: 7:04 p.m.
Number 0f witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round orange light.
My wife was outside our house back door which faces south at 19.04 hours on the 25th December 2008 she shouted me to come and look, a very large round orange light was travelling from south to north very quickly. We watched the object turn from the large Emley Moor TV mast and head via north west. The object then started reducing in size as though it was climbing very fast vertical into the sky, my first reaction was that of a plane on fire but all was quiet and no noise could be heard. I am nearly fifty years old worked nights outside and have never seen anything like this.
-----
UFOINFO Note: As with other similar reports I asked the witness to have a look at the UFO Balloons website to see if this is what might have been seen and received the following reply:
No it was not one of those at all my first thought was an aeroplane was on fire but the time and distance rule this out as it would have exploded. The speed which it was travelling would also rule this out because it travelled south to north at the same level, it was only when it changed to north west it appeared to climb. At this point it moved north west, Manchester Airport would be to the left and Leeds Airport to the right.

Date: December 25, 2008
Time: 08:30
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 3
Shape of objects: Round.
Weather Conditions: Cloudy.
Description: We saw one orange light which was almost like a flickering ball of flame then another light of the same brightness appeared and the two moved around each other with unnaturally fluid motions for about one minute.
A third bigger and brighter ball of light moved across from the right to meet the other two as they were fading away and stayed to the right of them.
After about 45 seconds the third light had started to fade away or travel away and disappear into nothing.
The whole time we were watching them it was completely silent except for one "ping" and the only way we could describe this would to be a note on a triangle the size of a house. Not because of the volume of the sound but the resonance.

Number of objects: 4
Shape of objects: Shape can not be determined by light in dark.
Weather Conditions: Clear mind.
Description: 4 silent lights traveling in the sky, in formation, straight line. Spaced apart enough so light will not reveal form of objects within its proximity. I took photos on mobile, usual story as mobile will not take perfect picture.
TV/Radio: I do not know of any other reporting, and I do not wish to go public with my name. This was an observation, this is reported so movement can be calculated if any one else has seen the same. Hopefully a pattern will emerge?

UFOINFO Note: As with other similar reports I asked the witness to have a look at the UFO Balloons website to see if this is what might have been seen and received the following reply:
Thank you for your reply, no weather balloon can travel that fast or in controlled formation. If the balloons have self contained heat source with lighting cool, I can not tell you what it is, I am only referencing its path. I know what I have seen and am not about to broadcast it, I just thought it would add reference to your research. I am open minded and do understand what I have encountered, I will always know deep inside I have seen a ufo, but that will probably be all as I have too much to lose by shouting my mouth off. I believe by keeping this way we harm no one and will probably learn more. Like I say it is only a reference, good luck in your research.

Time: 10:15 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Triangle.
Weather Conditions: Clear night sky.
Description: A v-formation of dim star like lights, it looked like a giant hand-glider but huge, it came towards me from the north-west and then turned towards the south. No noise and no flashing lights, just a very large triangle, if I had to guess the size I would say the size of maybe two soccer-fields. The center of this object must be solid because there are stars out and as it came over me no stars could be seen, it was that big, the speed difficult to say, but I had plenty time to have a good look at it, as I said no noise but what I did notice is the dogs in the area started barking!! Strange hey! Did anybody else see it???
Additional information:
Thank you John for your reply, at this stage I have not found anyone or any newspaper article to confirm sighting, as I hoped that someone else could verify what I had seen, but I know what I had seen is the real thing! What was interesting after reading other articles, is the Groendale sightings here in the Uitenhage district of the Eastern Cape, this Groendale nature reserve is about 10km away from were I stay and what I initially saw came from this direction.

Niagara Parkway, Ontario Four Huge Lights Lined Up In Possible Circle
Date: December 30, 2008
Time: 8:02 p.m.
Hi Brian, I spoke to you some time ago re a multiple metallic "flying saucer" sighting in the 1950s in Menihek, Labrador, by a neighbour.
While I have never seen a UFO that I didn't categorize as likely being landing lights from an aircraft or a star or planet, my friend and I did see something strange over the Niagara Parkway (Ontario) Tuesday night December 30, 2008 at 8:02 pm Eastern time. Because it was so strange, my friend took note of the time. We were about ten kilometers out of Niagara on the Lake heading for Niagara Falls when we observed four (4) huge, self-illuminated lights lined up in the beginnings of what might have been a circle. In other words, though we saw no shape of any kind behind the lights, they were equidistant apart, in a row that was slightly "bent." I used to be a student pilot and estimated them to be at roughly about 500 feet altitude. They were exceptionally bright - almost like movie klieg lights and I said to (my friend): "Jeez, have we seen them before!?" She replied: "No..." and I came back with: "What are they?" Naturally, one looks for a rational explanation such as some sort of new installation, even though I knew they were too high to be on any ground structure in our area.
We were coming to a turn with some trees following the parkway and I said: "Let's see them from over here. Four is too many for landing lights and a plane shouldn't be at that altitude anyhow." We rounded the bend, drove for five or ten seconds and they were gone. I stopped on the escarpment at the Brock Monument overlook to scan the area but could see nothing. The evening was fairly overcast but I don't know what the ceiling was that night - something that would likely be available. I decided to goggle lights, Niagara etc. to see if anyone else saw them and came across the other reports from Welland which is in our area - a few miles away. We also waited to see if there were any news report.
Anyhow, I wouldn't file a formal UFO sighting report as I have no idea what they were other than some strange, exceptionally powerful lights in the sky that shouldn't have been there. Their spacing was too close for multiple aircraft with landing lights on to be flying safely and, anyhow, I used to live on a flight path for Toronto International and never saw lights this bright on any aircraft! Pilots should be so lucky.
Just thought I'd tell you as we can't figure it out...all the best.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Location of Sighting: Kinloch Rannoch, Perthshire, Scotland UK.
Number of witnesses: 4
Number of objects: 5
Shape of objects: Sphere.
Full Description of event/sighting: While spending Hogmany at Loch Rannoch, my girlfriend and I spotted four round balls of orange light which seemed to be about a thousand feet above us and about halfway over the loch.The loch sits in a long Glenn and is surrounded by mountains and it seemed as though the lights were traveling beneath the height of the mountains.They followed an exact flight path to one another and were separated by equal intervals.A fifth one then appeared and joined the formation as the first one reached about the end of the loch and it faded away.Each one then did the same thing and faded away when reaching the same point.These lights were an orange colour and were round and about the size of a car.As they passed very slowly by and were very close to us I was astonished to hear not the slightest sound,nothing! There was no wind whatsoever so as far as I could tell they seemed to float past us.This was witnessed by other people outside the hotel and by some hotel staff. A staff member claimed there was military test ground nearby and lights etc are not unusual.

Number of witnesses: 7
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Square to round.
Full Description of event/sighting: A few of us met at a friends house in east Orlando to follow each other to a New Years Eve party. When we walked out of the house to get in our cars, I noticed a square shaped object with what looked like a fire ball inside or to the back of it. It was traveling southeast in a straight line and it had no sound to it at all. I said to my girlfriend and 5 friends, "look at that, what is it" We all then watched it glide across the dark sky and disappear. We all watched in amazement so it wasn't until it was far away that I tried to record it with my cell phone. My friend lives in a neighborhood with not many street lights so it was easy to see and no one was putting off any fireworks at the time. It was the strangest thing any of us as ever seen in the sky.

Shoeburyness Essex UK Numerous Orange Colored Lights
Date: January 1, 2009
Time: 12:05 a.m.
Hi, there, at 12.05am New Years day, my partner kids and neighbors were out front seeing in the New Year. We were watching the fireworks going off and we were all amazed to see a bright orange light. It looked like a large twinkling star, but it was bright orange. It was then followed by nine other lights moving very fast and in sequence and when they each got to a point and faded they moved from the east to west. We live in Shoeburyness Essex and we akk spent a large amount of time after trying to work out what it could be. I have seen clips of UFO balloons and they don't look like them as these were twinkling and very bright orange.
They had no other lights, although we discussed that it could be military aircraft, again no lights and we didn't think it was plausible as these lights were travelling quite close together. A neighbor further down came to wish us happy New Year and started telling us he had seen strange orange lights earlier in the evening. Well I just thought I'd share this with you, we were very sober and whilst I don't want to make a fuss about it, we are all very baffled, that is the ten of us that witnessed it. It actually frightened the younger ones, so if you can shed any light we would be grateful. Thank you for your time.

Location of Sighting: Shiremoor Tyne and Wear
Number of witnesses: 4
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Dome.
Full Description of event/sighting: Hi, I am from north east England and today the first of January 2009, 4 of us seen a large red object in the sky. On first glance thoughts were of a helicopter or plane. There was no noise from it, it was like a light bulb shape at the top, sometimes orangey red in colour. It moved overhead in one direction and we thought nothing of it other than a lovely red light. Then it moved in the opposite direction and we became curious. Couldn't make head nor tail of it. After 3 minutes of first spotting it we then seen another red light similar but looked nearer us! No noise,or beacon lights, no plane wings, with the closest object we did manage to catch a glimpse of a halo light at the top. Also same shape and colours as the other one.
The sky was quite clear, small clouds further up, and the objects then progressed along the sky slow then fast in various directions and then sort of went straight up until they looked out of sight behind far away clouds! Amazing sights. Me and my partner and 2 children seen this at 5.05pm 1st Jan 2009 in Shiremoor, Tyne and wear.England! We did manage to take a small video recording on a mobile phone.

Shape of objects: Round.
Full Description of event/sighting: Walking home from our village pub a little after midnight following the New Year party, my wife and I stopped to admire some Christmas decorations on the houses at the bottom of the track leading up to our place. What seemed to be a Christmas light or firework came over the roof of one of the houses. It was like an orange lantern, (circular, but also, perhaps having some rectangular structure) gliding silently and steadily through a hazy sky in which only a few stars were visible. We are keen astronomers and spend a lot of time sky watching, so we know when something is unusual and this was definitely the case. In fact, I'd been doing some astrophotography earlier in the evening (Venus and the crescent moon) and I'd brought my camcorder to record a few songs by the featured band. I was therefore able to get about one and a half minutes on tape of the object's passage from a southerly direction - veering toward the north west.

West End Of Paisley, UK Witness Films Orange Glowing Lights
Date: January 1, 2009
Time: 0500
Location of Sighting: West End Of Paisley, UK
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: One boomerang kind of shape and one long kind of shape, but rounded at the top.
Full Description of event/sighting: I was having problems getting my four year old to sleep last night because fireworks were being set off because of the New Year celebrations. So I gave in and put my lights off and myself and my four year old sat watching the fireworks from my living room window. As we were watching, I noticed an orange glow. It was small to start off with, but as it got higher in the sky it grew in size and got brighter. It came from the northeast direction of my window. I don't know what direction my window faces. Then a smaller light came up and this one grew in size as well, but not as big as the first one. They kind of half circled around each other and were two inches apart from the distance I was watching and it looked like they were dancing , it was very beautiful.
They were not traveling fast and they were quite slow. After a minute or so, the second one flew away into the distance, but I could still see the light, but it was very small. The larger one stayed there a bit longer then flew of in the same direction. At first I thought it was a helicopter as you get a lot in the west end of Paisley, but I opened my window and there was no noise, they were both silent. I think the first one was a dark shape with a light, but unsure if my eyes were playing tricks on me.
When the first light caught my attention, I didn't know what to do so I grabbed my phone and video taped it for about a minute and a half and took several pictures. When I looked at the pictures, one of the lights is in a boomerang kind of shape and glowing bright orange, but it's a really clear picture. The second one is a longer shape, but not as orange as the first one.
My son watched this going on with me and I said to my son, look at the lights dancing because it was such a beautiful sight to see and watch. He watched then turned around and said, Mum, close the window, don't let the orange lights in. This was caught on my video. The pictures I took from 0500 to 0700 this morning just after the bell are quite clear and I really don't know what to do with them. Could someone contact me so i know what to do.
I went onto your website at the back of two when I calmed my son down and finally got him to sleep, but I'm shaking now because someone else saw what I saw and have the pictures to prove it happening as well. I am quite skeptical, but do believe that we are not alone and I believe that I think there is something after we die. But this thing that has happened, has really got me. But unsure in what way.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Worthing, West Sussex, UK Ten Orange Orbs Or Balls Of Light
Date: January 1, 2009
Time: 12.15 a.m. to 1.05 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Worthing, West Sussex, UK.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 10
Shape of objects: Orange orbs or balls of light.
Full Description of event/sighting: I was outside with my partner, welcoming in New Year and watching fireworks over the rooftops nearby, when we noticed 3 large orange orbs flying towards us, high overhead, just inland of the sea, moving directly East to West. They moved at constant speed but in a clear triangle formation. They were large orbs or balls, and bright orange in colour. They appeared to be flying as high as usual commercial aircraft would over this area, estimate maybe 15,000ft, but with no sound or blinking of lights (we're both very familiar with various aircraft lights, living on flight-paths of Gatwick, Heathrow and a small local airport). These were much, much larger than aircraft lights, and much brighter, steady orange lights. Given the height they were at, they must have been of considerable size.
They reached a certain point in sky, still over the coastline, almost directly in line with the house, then seemed to shoot upwards and vanish one after another.
Several minutes later, another 3 appeared from same direction, and followed exactly the same sequence and triangle formation, reaching the same point in sky, in line with the house, then suddenly moved upwards and vanished.
I took a short video on the mobile phone, but it has not captured them anywhere near as clearly as could be seen with naked eye. I took a few still pictures also, but these have come out as showing the objects as white circles or disc shaped, and not as clear or bright as what we could see ourselves.
We couldn't take our eyes off them, even though we were freezing cold and would rather have gone back into the warm house, we stood there discussing what we had seen. My partner is very logical and analytical and tried to find a possible rational explanation but couldn't find any to fit what we saw.
We were still stood discussing it when another 3 appeared, and again they followed the same path and formation before moving upwards vertically and vanishing, one by one, in the same spot. Then a final one, travelling alone, and seemingly much brighter and larger than the previous ones flew over. This too disappeared upwards in same location.
There was no wind, and no logical explanation for the triangle formation, flight path nor the sudden upwards movement before vanishing. They were definitely not fireworks, and from the size, height, speed, flight path and formation (and sudden upwards movement before vanishing) they definitely weren't balloons, planes or helicopters. We did wonder if they could be something related with the military, but we are within commercial airspace here, and even then we could not work out what sort of military craft could disappear so suddenly like these things did, or move so silently.
We were both 100% sober (non-drinkers), nor are we taken to flights of fancy. My partner has never seen a UFO before. I've had one brief daylight UFO sighting in the past, witnessed by others, but am not a UFO spotter or anything of that ilk.
Later on, we joked about not going outside alone in case one of us was "beamed up", we were only joking about it, as neither of us is afraid of being outside in the dark or anything like that, however, the fact is we were both a bit spooked by it. There was a strange and eerie feel about the whole thing. We both felt (independently of each other) almost as if maybe we had been spotted, or had been watched by these things, before they disappeared in the same spot above the house. We each had a sense that maybe they were watching us as much as we were watching them! Sounds strange, but true.
It's certainly given us something to ponder in 2009!
There may be plenty of other people who saw them? It was New Year, so quite likely a few folks were outside watching fireworks? Would be good to know if anyone else saw these unidentified flying orange lights.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Black Boy Road, Exeter, Devon, UK Orange Colored Orbs/Lights
Date: January 1, 2009
Time: 12:15 a.m. - 12:25 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Black Boy Road, Exeter, Devon, UK.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Orb.
Full Description of event/sighting: Sighting occurred between 12:15 & 12:25am on January 1st 2009. In first instance I spotted two steady orange lights one slightly brighter then the other hanging in the sky to the west while walking in Black Boy Road, west, towards the center of town. At that time I took them to be stars or planets which were bright enough to shine through the cloud cover, and in doing so had taken on the orangey colour.
Within a couple of minutes I again looked upwards, this time only one was visible, it was moving slow and steady from north too south across the sky at an angle of maybe 50 degrees, at which point I pointed this out to my girlfriend, we both then watched as this lasted for something under a minute before it appeared to stop complete, it then changed direction heading into the west, it appeared to both accelerate and fade before disappearing completely.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Burslem-Stoke On Trent- England UK Round Ball Like Glowing Orange
Date: January 1, 2009
Time: 1.25 a.m. - 140 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Burslem-Stoke on Trent- England.
Number of witnesses: 4
Number of objects: 3
Shape of objects: Round/ Ball Like.
Full Description of event/sighting: We were enjoying New Years eve round my friends. After seeing out 12:00am and celebrated New Year we proceeded to watch the fireworks off the balcony (my friend lives top floor on a apartment block) after watching the fireworks we started playing on the WII Fit. Then around 1.30am ish my friend jumped up out of his seat shouting what the hell is that? Myself, my girlfriend, my friend and his girlfriend all jumped up an rushed to the window, before I got to the window, thoughts were rushing through my head that it was a meteor, but then when I got to the window I could see 3 objects, which seemed to just be hovering they were all about the same height at a estimate I'd say 35,000 - 50,000ft.
They were higher than a aeroplane, they were also at a estimate about a mile away from each other, so they were all the same height and evenly spaced in the sky, after been there 4 1-2 minutes they started glowing bright orange and lit the sky, then 1 shot off very fast, then the next, then finally the last. After they'd all gone we all looked at each other in disbelief, none of us are into UFO's, we were also gutted that even having 4 camera/videophones and also a digital camera to hand none of us took any pictures or video's. So telling people the next day as you can imagine was hard as we have no evidence but we all no what we saw! If any has any info or any other sightings that they'd like to share please do. another thing was I can't believe what I saw, I've never seen anything like it before I didn't no who to report it to? So if anybody can help me with that, that'd be great help. Thanks.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Spring Hill, Florida Orange Object (Pictures)
Date: January 1, 2009
Time: Approx: 12:15 a.m.
I was in Key West Florida with family and witnessed the same thing at the same time. We took two pictures, it looked like a rocket or a craft with orange flame, very bright. It moved from one side of the sky to the other, very high, about the speed of a satellite. Please do not publish my name, I thought that the pictures might be of interest. I have seen shuttle launches and rockets, this looked like a rocket but no sound. It moved at the speed of a rocket but disappeared after crossing the skyline. Kind Regards.

Barnstaple , North Devon England A Red Colored Light
Date: January 2, 2009
Time: 7:50 p.m.
Hi Brian, About 20 minutes ago at approx 7.50pm , our dog was asking to go out the back, so I stood just outside the back door waiting for him to finish relieving himself as it's very cold here this evening, we've had a lot of frost and ice recently. As I was standing there, I glanced up into the sky , it's a very crisp, clear, cloudless sky tonight, all the stars are bright and twinkling, one of the stars caught my eye as it started to pulse very bright red becoming bigger then smaller (our dog had finished by now and returned inside the house, I'm still standing there freezing. Anyways, I wanted to go in to get my camera, but thought that if I did, it would be gone by the time I got back, so I just kept watching it.
I couldn't make-out any actual shape, it just looked like a red star amongst the rest, it then started moving slowly and purposefully from east to a westerly direction, it was slow, quite low by now and totally sound-less, nothing , very smooth the way it was travelling across the sky. Size-wise, about the same size as the stars , but got bigger as it appeared to come down to a lower altitude and moved across the sky as I've already described. I stood there for about (at a guess) 3 or 4 minutes watching as it pulsed a very bright red .
Could it have been some kind of military aircraft ?, but wouldn't there have been sound with it ?. The weather conditions here this evening are crystal clear, dry, cloud-less, very still and quiet evening as I've already said. I thought I just let you know . With best wishes.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Charlotte, North Carolina A Rectangular Shaped UFO
Date: September 15, 2004
Time: 5:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Charlotte, NC.
Number of witnesses: 1 +
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Rectangle UFO approximately size of tennis court.
Full Description of event/sighting: I was driving in 5 o'clock traffic on I-85 in north Charlotte, NC towards UNC-Charlotte campus. I was taking an exit ramp towards the university when I looked up in front of me about 150 yards away a rectangular shaped object was floating silently above the tree line. At first I thought it must be a banner being pulled by a plane but I quickly realized that wasn't the case. It was as large as a tennis court. The object was covered with encased reflective panels that were dark army green and may have been reflecting the trees below.
I drove slowly and watched it in utter amazement for about 15 seconds. I had time to take off my sunglasses to make sure of what I was seeing. As the traffic crept down the road the UFO floated behind a tree line and I couldn't see it anymore. I didn't even think to look at other drivers to see if they reacted to it.
As I got closer to the campus, I noticed two cars that were pulled off the road. I was kind of in a daze and was locked in with the rest of traffic so had to keep going.
I've researched rectangle shaped UFO reports and find many similarities such as most witnesses having the initial reaction that it must be a banner being pulled by an airplane. In fact, another rectangle UFO was reported in Charlotte, NC in September 2008, in the same area of town. Seeing this object did change my life in that I know for certain now that UFO's are real and they can do anything.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Twydall, Gillingham, Kent, England Round Balls Of Fire
Date: December 23, 2008
Time: 6:45 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round balls of fire.
Weather Conditions: Misty and clearish sky with elements of cloud.
Description: I am not sure in honesty what this was- I don't even believe in UFO's but I must admit that I am baffled. I was standing outside the front of my house with my sister when we saw a bizarre orange light in the sky. It was moving rather quickly and did not seem to be at a tremendous altitude. It was absolutely silent and quite disconcerting. It seemed to be moving at about the speed of a helicopter, however at the altitude it appeared to be at a helicopter
would have been clearly audible. After 30 seconds meandering across the sky it stopped and then curved about 20 degrees in movement. Then after a brief pause of 10 seconds it appeared to increase in altitude at a pretty fast rate. It dimmed to red and disappeared with very little warning in a matter of 10 seconds.
I noticed another 2 reports on this website locally to here (Strood, Kent is part of the same conurbation and Gravesend is 10 minutes drive away), and have considered the possibility of a UFO balloon or a weather balloon. However it did not appear to move like any balloon I have ever seen as it's speed seemed more akin to that of an aircraft or helicopter. Indeed I would have assumed that it was one or the other of those if it weren't for the fact that it was dead
silent, it appeared to stop for a brief while quite suddenly, the light it gave off was not like any I had seen in the sky before and it's very rapid increase in altitude and its subsequent disappearance.
Thanks for taking the time to respond, I doubt very much that it has anything to do with aliens or anything like that (after all, if they could travel trillions of miles to get to this planet I feel they would also take care not to be so obvious about it) but it was still bizarre and I felt that I should relate it to somebody who has spent more time collecting information on such objects (after all, I would describe it as a UFO as I certainly couldn't identify what it could be).
Thank you again for your time, the event has certainly got me thinking about things a fair amount more and I am certainly less dismissive about the subject of UFO's as a consequence.

Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Triangular.
Weather Conditions: Fine.
Description: In my garden on Wigston Meadows, myself and my partner saw a bright Red/Orange glow which at first I thought was a plane although after a while I noticed the lights were not flashing, just on a constant glow as it got nearer I was expecting to hear its engine as the speed it was going it would have to of been quite low. As it got over head there was no noise just silence but it was not high enough to be a plane because of its fast speed then it just went very dim and just vanished. I would love to know if anyone else witnessed this as I never really believed in this sort of thing until now (and no it wasn't Father Christmas as I've been joked with).

Shape of objects: Orange ball.
Weather Conditions: Cloudy.
Description: Whilst out in the courtyard for some fresh air after Christmas dinner I saw a very bright fiery object in the sky directly overhead. My first impressions where that it was a plane on fire because of the intense orangey red light emanating from the object. However it slowed down to a standstill at which stage I ran for a witness, my son and his wife duly came out and confirmed the sighting. At this stage the object started to move in a northerly
direction and the fieriness of the object changed into three circular disks in a triangular formation as it moved away. It must have been at low altitude as it was under the cloud cover. My grandson reckoned it was Santa Claus going home after a busy night.

Flockton, Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England Round Orange Light
Date: December 25, 2008
Time: 7:04 p.m.
Number 0f witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round orange light.
My wife was outside our house back door which faces south at 19.04 hours on the 25th December 2008 she shouted me to come and look, a very large round orange light was travelling from south to north very quickly. We watched the object turn from the large Emley Moor TV mast and head via north west. The object then started reducing in size as though it was climbing very fast vertical into the sky, my first reaction was that of a plane on fire but all was quiet and no noise could be heard. I am nearly fifty years old worked nights outside and have never seen anything like this.
-----
UFOINFO Note: As with other similar reports I asked the witness to have a look at the UFO Balloons website to see if this is what might have been seen and received the following reply:
No it was not one of those at all my first thought was an aeroplane was on fire but the time and distance rule this out as it would have exploded. The speed which it was travelling would also rule this out because it travelled south to north at the same level, it was only when it changed to north west it appeared to climb. At this point it moved north west, Manchester Airport would be to the left and Leeds Airport to the right.

Date: December 25, 2008
Time: 08:30
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 3
Shape of objects: Round.
Weather Conditions: Cloudy.
Description: We saw one orange light which was almost like a flickering ball of flame then another light of the same brightness appeared and the two moved around each other with unnaturally fluid motions for about one minute.
A third bigger and brighter ball of light moved across from the right to meet the other two as they were fading away and stayed to the right of them.
After about 45 seconds the third light had started to fade away or travel away and disappear into nothing.
The whole time we were watching them it was completely silent except for one "ping" and the only way we could describe this would to be a note on a triangle the size of a house. Not because of the volume of the sound but the resonance.

UFOINFO Note: As with other similar reports I asked the witness to have a look at the UFO Balloons website to see if this is what might have been seen and received the following reply:

Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 4
Shape of objects: Shape can not be determined by light in dark.
Weather Conditions: Clear mind.
Description: 4 silent lights traveling in the sky, in formation, straight line. Spaced apart enough so light will not reveal form of objects within its proximity. I took photos on mobile, usual story as mobile will not take perfect picture.
TV/Radio: I do not know of any other reporting, and I do not wish to go public with my name. This was an observation, this is reported so movement can be calculated if any one else has seen the same. Hopefully a pattern will emerge?

UFOINFO Note: As with other similar reports I asked the witness to have a look at the UFO Balloons website to see if this is what might have been seen and received the following reply:
Thank you for your reply, no weather balloon can travel that fast or in controlled formation. If the balloons have self contained heat source with lighting cool, I can not tell you what it is, I am only referencing its path. I know what I have seen and am not about to broadcast it, I just thought it would add reference to your research. I am open minded and do understand what I have encountered, I will always know deep inside I have seen a ufo, but that will probably be all as I have too much to lose by shouting my mouth off. I believe by keeping this way we harm no one and will probably learn more. Like I say it is only a reference, good luck in your research.

Time: 10:15 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Triangle.
Weather Conditions: Clear night sky.
Description: A v-formation of dim star like lights, it looked like a giant hand-glider but huge, it came towards me from the north-west and then turned towards the south. No noise and no flashing lights, just a very large triangle, if I had to guess the size I would say the size of maybe two soccer-fields. The center of this object must be solid because there are stars out and as it came over me no stars could be seen, it was that big, the speed difficult to say, but I had plenty time to have a good look at it, as I said no noise but what I did notice is the dogs in the area started barking!! Strange hey! Did anybody else see it???
Additional information:
Thank you John for your reply, at this stage I have not found anyone or any newspaper article to confirm sighting, as I hoped that someone else could verify what I had seen, but I know what I had seen is the real thing! What was interesting after reading other articles, is the Groendale sightings here in the Uitenhage district of the Eastern Cape, this Groendale nature reserve is about 10km away from were I stay and what I initially saw came from this direction.

Neither of us knows anything that can move in those patterns, especially at that speed. Did anyone else see this?

Niagara Parkway, Ontario Four Huge Lights Lined Up In Possible Circle
Date: December 30, 2008
Time: 8:02 p.m.
Hi Brian, I spoke to you some time ago re a multiple metallic "flying saucer" sighting in the 1950s in Menihek, Labrador, by a neighbour.
While I have never seen a UFO that I didn't categorize as likely being landing lights from an aircraft or a star or planet, my friend and I did see something strange over the Niagara Parkway (Ontario) Tuesday night December 30, 2008 at 8:02 pm Eastern time. Because it was so strange, my friend took note of the time. We were about ten kilometers out of Niagara on the Lake heading for Niagara Falls when we observed four (4) huge, self-illuminated lights lined up in the beginnings of what might have been a circle. In other words, though we saw no shape of any kind behind the lights, they were equidistant apart, in a row that was slightly "bent." I used to be a student pilot and estimated them to be at roughly about 500 feet altitude. They were exceptionally bright - almost like movie klieg lights and I said to (my friend): "Jeez, have we seen them before!?" She replied: "No..." and I came back with: "What are they?" Naturally, one looks for a rational explanation such as some sort of new installation, even though I knew they were too high to be on any ground structure in our area.
We were coming to a turn with some trees following the parkway and I said: "Let's see them from over here. Four is too many for landing lights and a plane shouldn't be at that altitude anyhow." We rounded the bend, drove for five or ten seconds and they were gone. I stopped on the escarpment at the Brock Monument overlook to scan the area but could see nothing. The evening was fairly overcast but I don't know what the ceiling was that night - something that would likely be available. I decided to goggle lights, Niagara etc. to see if anyone else saw them and came across the other reports from Welland which is in our area - a few miles away. We also waited to see if there were any news report.
Anyhow, I wouldn't file a formal UFO sighting report as I have no idea what they were other than some strange, exceptionally powerful lights in the sky that shouldn't have been there. Their spacing was too close for multiple aircraft with landing lights on to be flying safely and, anyhow, I used to live on a flight path for Toronto International and never saw lights this bright on any aircraft! Pilots should be so lucky.
Just thought I'd tell you as we can't figure it out...all the best.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Location of Sighting: Kinloch Rannoch, Perthshire, Scotland UK.
Number of witnesses: 4
Number of objects: 5
Shape of objects: Sphere.
Full Description of event/sighting: While spending Hogmany at Loch Rannoch, my girlfriend and I spotted four round balls of orange light which seemed to be about a thousand feet above us and about halfway over the loch.The loch sits in a long Glenn and is surrounded by mountains and it seemed as though the lights were traveling beneath the height of the mountains.They followed an exact flight path to one another and were separated by equal intervals.A fifth one then appeared and joined the formation as the first one reached about the end of the loch and it faded away.Each one then did the same thing and faded away when reaching the same point.These lights were an orange colour and were round and about the size of a car.As they passed very slowly by and were very close to us I was astonished to hear not the slightest sound,nothing! There was no wind whatsoever so as far as I could tell they seemed to float past us.This was witnessed by other people outside the hotel and by some hotel staff. A staff member claimed there was military test ground nearby and lights etc are not unusual.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Romford Essex England UK Large Bright Orange Object
Date: December 31, 2008
Time: Before midnight.
Last night before midnight, my son called me to the window and said this is strange firework. I looked out and I knew it was not. This object was bright big orange thick flame like slow moving it took approx: 3 minutes, tried to take pictures on mobile but very grainy.

East Orlando, Florida Square To Round Shaped UFO
Date: December 31, 2008
Time: 10:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: East Orlando.
Number of witnesses: 7
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Square to round.
Full Description of event/sighting: A few of us met at a friends house in east Orlando to follow each other to a New Years Eve party. When we walked out of the house to get in our cars, I noticed a square shaped object with what looked like a fire ball inside or to the back of it. It was traveling southeast in a straight line and it had no sound to it at all. I said to my girlfriend and 5 friends, "look at that, what is it" We all then watched it glide across the dark sky and disappear. We all watched in amazement so it wasn't until it was far away that I tried to record it with my cell phone. My friend lives in a neighborhood with not many street lights so it was easy to see and no one was putting off any fireworks at the time. It was the strangest thing any of us as ever seen in the sky.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Shoeburyness Essex UK Numerous Orange Colored Lights
Date: January 1, 2009
Time: 12:05 a.m.
Hi, there, at 12.05am New Years day, my partner kids and neighbors were out front seeing in the New Year. We were watching the fireworks going off and we were all amazed to see a bright orange light. It looked like a large twinkling star, but it was bright orange. It was then followed by nine other lights moving very fast and in sequence and when they each got to a point and faded they moved from the east to west. We live in Shoeburyness Essex and we akk spent a large amount of time after trying to work out what it could be. I have seen clips of UFO balloons and they don't look like them as these were twinkling and very bright orange.
They had no other lights, although we discussed that it could be military aircraft, again no lights and we didn't think it was plausible as these lights were travelling quite close together. A neighbor further down came to wish us happy New Year and started telling us he had seen strange orange lights earlier in the evening. Well I just thought I'd share this with you, we were very sober and whilst I don't want to make a fuss about it, we are all very baffled, that is the ten of us that witnessed it. It actually frightened the younger ones, so if you can shed any light we would be grateful. Thank you for your time.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Shiremoor Tyne And Wear, UK Red Lights Make Unusual Turns
Date: January 1, 2009
Time: 5.05 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Shiremoor Tyne and Wear
Number of witnesses: 4
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Dome.
Full Description of event/sighting: Hi, I am from north east England and today the first of January 2009, 4 of us seen a large red object in the sky. On first glance thoughts were of a helicopter or plane. There was no noise from it, it was like a light bulb shape at the top, sometimes orangey red in colour. It moved overhead in one direction and we thought nothing of it other than a lovely red light. Then it moved in the opposite direction and we became curious. Couldn't make head nor tail of it. After 3 minutes of first spotting it we then seen another red light similar but looked nearer us! No noise,or beacon lights, no plane wings, with the closest object we did manage to catch a glimpse of a halo light at the top. Also same shape and colours as the other one.
The sky was quite clear, small clouds further up, and the objects then progressed along the sky slow then fast in various directions and then sort of went straight up until they looked out of sight behind far away clouds! Amazing sights. Me and my partner and 2 children seen this at 5.05pm 1st Jan 2009 in Shiremoor, Tyne and wear.England! We did manage to take a small video recording on a mobile phone.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Berrynarbor North Devon, UK Another Orange Light/Object Spotted
Date: January 1, 2009
Time: 00.45
Location of Sighting: Berrynarbor.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round.
Full Description of event/sighting: Walking home from our village pub a little after midnight following the New Year party, my wife and I stopped to admire some Christmas decorations on the houses at the bottom of the track leading up to our place. What seemed to be a Christmas light or firework came over the roof of one of the houses. It was like an orange lantern, (circular, but also, perhaps having some rectangular structure) gliding silently and steadily through a hazy sky in which only a few stars were visible. We are keen astronomers and spend a lot of time sky watching, so we know when something is unusual and this was definitely the case. In fact, I'd been doing some astrophotography earlier in the evening (Venus and the crescent moon) and I'd brought my camcorder to record a few songs by the featured band. I was therefore able to get about one and a half minutes on tape of the object's passage from a southerly direction - veering toward the north west.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

West End Of Paisley, UK Witness Films Orange Glowing Lights
Date: January 1, 2009
Time: 0500
Location of Sighting: West End Of Paisley, UK
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: One boomerang kind of shape and one long kind of shape, but rounded at the top.
Full Description of event/sighting: I was having problems getting my four year old to sleep last night because fireworks were being set off because of the New Year celebrations. So I gave in and put my lights off and myself and my four year old sat watching the fireworks from my living room window. As we were watching, I noticed an orange glow. It was small to start off with, but as it got higher in the sky it grew in size and got brighter. It came from the northeast direction of my window. I don't know what direction my window faces. Then a smaller light came up and this one grew in size as well, but not as big as the first one. They kind of half circled around each other and were two inches apart from the distance I was watching and it looked like they were dancing , it was very beautiful.
They were not traveling fast and they were quite slow. After a minute or so, the second one flew away into the distance, but I could still see the light, but it was very small. The larger one stayed there a bit longer then flew of in the same direction. At first I thought it was a helicopter as you get a lot in the west end of Paisley, but I opened my window and there was no noise, they were both silent. I think the first one was a dark shape with a light, but unsure if my eyes were playing tricks on me.
When the first light caught my attention, I didn't know what to do so I grabbed my phone and video taped it for about a minute and a half and took several pictures. When I looked at the pictures, one of the lights is in a boomerang kind of shape and glowing bright orange, but it's a really clear picture. The second one is a longer shape, but not as orange as the first one.
My son watched this going on with me and I said to my son, look at the lights dancing because it was such a beautiful sight to see and watch. He watched then turned around and said, Mum, close the window, don't let the orange lights in. This was caught on my video. The pictures I took from 0500 to 0700 this morning just after the bell are quite clear and I really don't know what to do with them. Could someone contact me so i know what to do.
I went onto your website at the back of two when I calmed my son down and finally got him to sleep, but I'm shaking now because someone else saw what I saw and have the pictures to prove it happening as well. I am quite skeptical, but do believe that we are not alone and I believe that I think there is something after we die. But this thing that has happened, has really got me. But unsure in what way.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Worthing, West Sussex, UK Ten Orange Orbs Or Balls Of Light
Date: January 1, 2009
Time: 12.15 a.m. to 1.05 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Worthing, West Sussex, UK.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 10
Shape of objects: Orange orbs or balls of light.
Full Description of event/sighting: I was outside with my partner, welcoming in New Year and watching fireworks over the rooftops nearby, when we noticed 3 large orange orbs flying towards us, high overhead, just inland of the sea, moving directly East to West. They moved at constant speed but in a clear triangle formation. They were large orbs or balls, and bright orange in colour. They appeared to be flying as high as usual commercial aircraft would over this area, estimate maybe 15,000ft, but with no sound or blinking of lights (we're both very familiar with various aircraft lights, living on flight-paths of Gatwick, Heathrow and a small local airport). These were much, much larger than aircraft lights, and much brighter, steady orange lights. Given the height they were at, they must have been of considerable size.
They reached a certain point in sky, still over the coastline, almost directly in line with the house, then seemed to shoot upwards and vanish one after another.
Several minutes later, another 3 appeared from same direction, and followed exactly the same sequence and triangle formation, reaching the same point in sky, in line with the house, then suddenly moved upwards and vanished.
I took a short video on the mobile phone, but it has not captured them anywhere near as clearly as could be seen with naked eye. I took a few still pictures also, but these have come out as showing the objects as white circles or disc shaped, and not as clear or bright as what we could see ourselves.
We couldn't take our eyes off them, even though we were freezing cold and would rather have gone back into the warm house, we stood there discussing what we had seen. My partner is very logical and analytical and tried to find a possible rational explanation but couldn't find any to fit what we saw.
We were still stood discussing it when another 3 appeared, and again they followed the same path and formation before moving upwards vertically and vanishing, one by one, in the same spot. Then a final one, travelling alone, and seemingly much brighter and larger than the previous ones flew over. This too disappeared upwards in same location.
There was no wind, and no logical explanation for the triangle formation, flight path nor the sudden upwards movement before vanishing. They were definitely not fireworks, and from the size, height, speed, flight path and formation (and sudden upwards movement before vanishing) they definitely weren't balloons, planes or helicopters. We did wonder if they could be something related with the military, but we are within commercial airspace here, and even then we could not work out what sort of military craft could disappear so suddenly like these things did, or move so silently.
We were both 100% sober (non-drinkers), nor are we taken to flights of fancy. My partner has never seen a UFO before. I've had one brief daylight UFO sighting in the past, witnessed by others, but am not a UFO spotter or anything of that ilk.
Later on, we joked about not going outside alone in case one of us was "beamed up", we were only joking about it, as neither of us is afraid of being outside in the dark or anything like that, however, the fact is we were both a bit spooked by it. There was a strange and eerie feel about the whole thing. We both felt (independently of each other) almost as if maybe we had been spotted, or had been watched by these things, before they disappeared in the same spot above the house. We each had a sense that maybe they were watching us as much as we were watching them! Sounds strange, but true.
It's certainly given us something to ponder in 2009!
There may be plenty of other people who saw them? It was New Year, so quite likely a few folks were outside watching fireworks? Would be good to know if anyone else saw these unidentified flying orange lights.

Black Boy Road, Exeter, Devon, UK Orange Colored Orbs/Lights
Date: January 1, 2009
Time: 12:15 a.m. - 12:25 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Black Boy Road, Exeter, Devon, UK.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Orb.
Full Description of event/sighting: Sighting occurred between 12:15 & 12:25am on January 1st 2009. In first instance I spotted two steady orange lights one slightly brighter then the other hanging in the sky to the west while walking in Black Boy Road, west, towards the center of town. At that time I took them to be stars or planets which were bright enough to shine through the cloud cover, and in doing so had taken on the orangey colour.
Within a couple of minutes I again looked upwards, this time only one was visible, it was moving slow and steady from north too south across the sky at an angle of maybe 50 degrees, at which point I pointed this out to my girlfriend, we both then watched as this lasted for something under a minute before it appeared to stop complete, it then changed direction heading into the west, it appeared to both accelerate and fade before disappearing completely.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Burslem-Stoke On Trent- England UK Round Ball Like Glowing Orange

Location of Sighting: Burslem-Stoke on Trent- England.
Number of witnesses: 4
Number of objects: 3
Shape of objects: Round/ Ball Like.
Full Description of event/sighting: We were enjoying New Years eve round my friends. After seeing out 12:00am and celebrated New Year we proceeded to watch the fireworks off the balcony (my friend lives top floor on a apartment block) after watching the fireworks we started playing on the WII Fit. Then around 1.30am ish my friend jumped up out of his seat shouting what the hell is that? Myself, my girlfriend, my friend and his girlfriend all jumped up an rushed to the window, before I got to the window, thoughts were rushing through my head that it was a meteor, but then when I got to the window I could see 3 objects, which seemed to just be hovering they were all about the same height at a estimate I'd say 35,000 - 50,000ft.
They were higher than a aeroplane, they were also at a estimate about a mile away from each other, so they were all the same height and evenly spaced in the sky, after been there 4 1-2 minutes they started glowing bright orange and lit the sky, then 1 shot off very fast, then the next, then finally the last. After they'd all gone we all looked at each other in disbelief, none of us are into UFO's, we were also gutted that even having 4 camera/videophones and also a digital camera to hand none of us took any pictures or video's. So telling people the next day as you can imagine was hard as we have no evidence but we all no what we saw! If any has any info or any other sightings that they'd like to share please do. another thing was I can't believe what I saw, I've never seen anything like it before I didn't no who to report it to? So if anybody can help me with that, that'd be great help. Thanks.

Spring Hill, Florida Orange Object (Pictures)
Date: January 1, 2009
Time: Approx: 12:15 a.m.
I was in Key West Florida with family and witnessed the same thing at the same time. We took two pictures, it looked like a rocket or a craft with orange flame, very bright. It moved from one side of the sky to the other, very high, about the speed of a satellite. Please do not publish my name, I thought that the pictures might be of interest. I have seen shuttle launches and rockets, this looked like a rocket but no sound. It moved at the speed of a rocket but disappeared after crossing the skyline. Kind Regards.

Barnstaple , North Devon England A Red Colored Light
Date: January 2, 2009
Time: 7:50 p.m.
Hi Brian, About 20 minutes ago at approx 7.50pm , our dog was asking to go out the back, so I stood just outside the back door waiting for him to finish relieving himself as it's very cold here this evening, we've had a lot of frost and ice recently. As I was standing there, I glanced up into the sky , it's a very crisp, clear, cloudless sky tonight, all the stars are bright and twinkling, one of the stars caught my eye as it started to pulse very bright red becoming bigger then smaller (our dog had finished by now and returned inside the house, I'm still standing there freezing. Anyways, I wanted to go in to get my camera, but thought that if I did, it would be gone by the time I got back, so I just kept watching it.
I couldn't make-out any actual shape, it just looked like a red star amongst the rest, it then started moving slowly and purposefully from east to a westerly direction, it was slow, quite low by now and totally sound-less, nothing , very smooth the way it was travelling across the sky. Size-wise, about the same size as the stars , but got bigger as it appeared to come down to a lower altitude and moved across the sky as I've already described. I stood there for about (at a guess) 3 or 4 minutes watching as it pulsed a very bright red .
Could it have been some kind of military aircraft ?, but wouldn't there have been sound with it ?. The weather conditions here this evening are crystal clear, dry, cloud-less, very still and quiet evening as I've already said. I thought I just let you know . With best wishes.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Niagara Parkway, Ontario Four Huge Lights Lined Up In Possible Circle
Posted: January 1, 2009
Date: December 30, 2008
Time: 8:02 p.m.
Hi Brian, I spoke to you some time ago re a multiple metallic "flying saucer" sighting in the 1950s in Menihek, Labrador, by a neighbour.
While I have never seen a UFO that I didn't categorize as likely being landing lights from an aircraft or a star or planet, my friend and I did see something strange over the Niagara Parkway (Ontario) Tuesday night December 30, 2008 at 8:02 pm Eastern time. Because it was so strange, my friend took note of the time. We were about ten kilometers out of Niagara on the Lake heading for Niagara Falls when we observed four (4) huge, self-illuminated lights lined up in the beginnings of what might have been a circle. In other words, though we saw no shape of any kind behind the lights, they were equidistant apart, in a row that was slightly "bent." I used to be a student pilot and estimated them to be at roughly about 500 feet altitude. They were exceptionally bright - almost like movie klieg lights and I said to (my friend): "Jeez, have we seen them before!?" She replied: "No..." and I came back with: "What are they?" Naturally, one looks for a rational explanation such as some sort of new installation, even though I knew they were too high to be on any ground structure in our area.
We were coming to a turn with some trees following the parkway and I said: "Let's see them from over here. Four is too many for landing lights and a plane shouldn't be at that altitude anyhow." We rounded the bend, drove for five or ten seconds and they were gone. I stopped on the escarpment at the Brock Monument overlook to scan the area but could see nothing. The evening was fairly overcast but I don't know what the ceiling was that night - something that would likely be available. I decided to goggle lights, Niagara etc. to see if anyone else saw them and came across the other reports from Welland which is in our area - a few miles away. We also waited to see if there were any news report.
Anyhow, I wouldn't file a formal UFO sighting report as I have no idea what they were other than some strange, exceptionally powerful lights in the sky that shouldn't have been there. Their spacing was too close for multiple aircraft with landing lights on to be flying safely and, anyhow, I used to live on a flight path for Toronto International and never saw lights this bright on any aircraft! Pilots should be so lucky.
Just thought I'd tell you as we can't figure it out...all the best.
Thank you to the witness for their report.
