- UFO WAVE PREDICTED IN MARCH 2003
-
- Donald A. Johnson, Ph.D., and UFOCAT archivist for the
Center for UFO Studies writes, "Based upon a careful analysis of trends
in historical UFO reports in the UFOCAT database, I am making the following
prediction. There will be a worldwide UFO wave in the month of March 2003
that will reach its maximum between March 15 and March 25, 2003. I am
reasonably confident that this wave will involve Northern Europe. Another
likely region is the Pacific Ocean, including Japan and the Hawaiian Islands,
and possibly the Alaskan Aleutian Islands. I wanted to go on the record
now, a full seven weeks before the anticipated peak in UFO activity, before
any upswing in reporting starts. I would like people to keep their eyes
and ears open. I am reasonably certain about the timing, if extrapolations
from previous peaks can be trusted. The worldwide wave, will probably
not be centered in North America. A paper outlining my reasons for this
prediction will follow. Thanks to Donald A. Johnson, Ph.D., UFOCAT archivist

- MAINE UFO WAS COMPLETELY SILENT AND VERY BIG
-
- HOLDEN -- The witnesses were leaving a New Years Party
and were driving on Route 46 when they noticed two lights in the sky about
a mile away that seemed stationary. The witness says, "I kept driving
very slowly and trying to see them above the trees, and three miles down
the road I spotted a large flying triangle coming toward us a couple hundred
feet up." My girl friend saw it fly over our vehicle without any
noise at all. It had green, pink, and yellow flashing lights and flew
from east to west. I later talked to someone where I volunteer at the
veterans clinic and her brother had seen it also. Since, then I have had
some strange mental images and missing minutes. I also have a place on
my stomach that the skin is very dry and nothing helps to get rid of it.
I have talked to my veterans counselor about the incident. Thanks to

- NEW YORK THREE FLYING TRIANGULAR OBJECTS
-
- ALBANY -- The witnesses report going for a short night
time stroll at 10 PM, on January 8, 2003, when one noticed a light out
of the corner of his eye and looked up to see three flying triangular objects
with a number of lights on each corner. The witness told his friends to
look up and tell them, he was not losing his mind. Their mouths dropped
as they also saw the three triangles. No one spoke; no one knew what to
say or how to explain what they were seeing. Then the objects disappeared
out of sight and it was like they had never even been there. We continued
walking in silence not knowing what to say. I never believed in any of
this until now! Thanks to Peter Davenport <http://www.ufocenter.com/>NUFORC

- PENNSYLVANIA DIAMOND OVAL SHAPED OBJECT
-
- PITTSBURGH -- The witness was walking to the local Drug
store on January 7, 2003, when he looked in the sky and saw a huge diamond
shape craft. It was going across the sky extremely fast at 11:00 PM.
The sighting lasted for a minute, then it was gone
-
- MIDDLESEX TOWNSHIP -- I was walking on the Appalachian
Trail on January 7, 2003, with my dog around 5 PM, and my dog started to
bark. I noticed an extremely bright light where my dog was barking. I
ran towards my dog who was about 50 yards away and I noticed an oval shaped
object lifting higher into the sky. By the time I caught up to my dog
the oval shaped object was hovering around 100 feet above us. It moved
back and forth for a few minutes, then zipped out of sight. I have never
seen anything like this in my life. Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC

- MARYLAND SPHERE STRANGE BRIGHT LIGHTS
-
- WESTMINSTER -- The witness was walking his two dogs on
January 4, 2003, and noticed a bright object in the sky over her neighbor's
house and assumed it was a shooting star at 8:50 PM. The object was moving
from west to east at a steady pace. Then behind this object appeared three
additional bright white light objects that would be the size of an egg
held at arm's length. The light from these objects was as if it was revolving.
There was no color, just white light. Then there were two other groups
of the objects that appeared out of the western sky and flew east out of
my sight. No sound was made. The witness states, "They seemed to
be about 1500 feet high, they were close, and I counted fifteen objects,
and their flight pattern seemed to be in a straight line." I live
two miles from the Westminster Airport and I'm used to seeing all types
of flying craft, but at 46 years of age I've never seen anything like this
before. I called my husband, who is a police officer for the state of
Maryland and he tried to contact the local airport at 9 PM, but it was
closed. We watched the news to see if anyone else reported the lights
in the sky, but to no avail. NUFORC

- VIRGINIA CIGAR SHAPED UFO AFFECTS CAR
-
- FALLS CHURCH -- The witness reports, "I was going
home from work on January 11, 2003, with a few associates and my car just
stalled at one of the stop signs." I was surprised as it was a new
car. I stepped out of the car to look in the hood and I saw a flash of
light reflected from my car. I looked up and I saw this long lighted flying
thing, which was there for a few seconds and then disappeared. I did not
think much of the sighting, but when it disappeared my car started by itself,
without turning the keys in the ignition. <http://www.ufocenter.com/>NUFORC

- NORTH CAROLINA TRIANGLE WITH PHOTOS AND VIDEO
-
- CHARLOTTE -- I was coming home from my girlfriend's house
around 7 PM, on January 6, 2003. I came up my road (there's a hill on
my street) and I saw a triangular formation of three extremely bright,
round lights up in the sky. They were about 200 feet up and a mile or
so away. I jumped out of my car, ran in to tell my mother and she ran out
and we both stood in our back yard staring at the lights. They hovered
in the sky without moving for about two minutes and the lower "UFO"
in the triangle drifted up and to the right towards one of the other "UFO's."
Once it got close, the upper right "UFO" flew off out of sight
at incredible speed. The "UFO" on the other side did the same
shortly after that. One UFO was left hovering in the sky, with its bright
light kind of twinkling.
-
- The single UFO light came on and went off and on for
the next hour. It flew random zigzag floating actions in the sky. My
father came home later that night and saw it too. He said, "Oh my
God, I thought you guys were joking!" - The weird thing is that it
was so windy that night, and the entire sky had a sort of pale amber tint
to it. Our gate in the back yard kept slamming shut and my Mom told me
that earlier in the day she had heard a very loud noise around where the
lights were coming from. Also the pets were acting weird. The objects
were not moving at all times, so they were definitely not airplanes. They
were close enough to us, that if they were helicopters we would have definitely
heard them. Plus, any type of aircraft I've ever seen is not capable of
disappearing out of sight at the speed these did. Very spooky, something
strange is definitely going on. We have pictures and video. Thanks to

- GEORGIA BEACON LIGHT IN SKY
-
- MUFONGA's Olivia Newton of Lilburn reported that a family
member living in Dekalb County had reported a spectacular light observed
on December 4, at about 10:15 PM. The witness described an extremely brilliant
white light traveling horizontally at about 20 degrees off of the horizon.
It was completely silent, and was the size of a baseball at arm's length.
This witness is particularly observant and reliable; a retired law enforcement
official of the State Game and Fish Commission.
-
- LAGRANGE -- On January 4, 2003, MUFONGA's reliable source
was outside for about two minutes at 7:00 PM, and observed another unusual
"beacon" type of light in the sky. Rather than being stationary,
it was moving east, and was blinking off and on at about ten-second intervals.
She described it as a sort of "slow-glow" type of illumination.
The light would come on slowly, then fade out slowly at ten-second intervals.
Again, this witness was raised in an aviation family and indicates that
what she has been observing is unlike any normal aircraft lights with which
she is familiar. Past interaction with this source has revealed that she
is VERY objective.
-
- MUFON's Tom Sheets says, "I was standing with John
Thompson next to a field in the boonies near Lagrange a few weeks before
our Leonids Skywatch. We were comparing the appearance of distant aircraft
landing lights when a REAL MONSTER rock slid in and burned up right overhead.
Truly awesome, nothing during all of our Leonids activities even compared.
As to the 5 Jan Lagrange "slow-glow" lights, I can recall nothing
similar in my sky watching, which includes living and working around Hartsfield
Airport for many years. We have to consider several factors that might
influence any night observations of lights or meteors...the atmospheric
conditions both low and high, humidity, haze, pollution, the eyesight of
the witness etc. At any rate, it's difficult to make any firm determination
on unusual events occurring in darkness, far away, silent, and oft times
happening very quick.
-
- On January 8, 2003, indicates that Senior White House
reporter Sarah McClendon, 92 years old, passed away. Ms. Sarah served
in the White House press corps beginning during the tenure of FDR (!) and
continuing right up through her recent illness. She was a friend to the
UFO community, and a few years ago was solidly behind efforts to get the
UFO issue before Congress. I still use one of her positive articles in
the orientation of new MUFONGA members who have never had deep exposure
to Ufology. Thanks to Tom Sheets Georgia Director of MUFON.

- Editor's Note: I spent several hours with Sarah, she
was a wonderful lady and I for one will miss her.

- FLORIDA DAYLIGHT SIGHTING OF DOMED CRAFT
-
- WINTER SPRINGS -- While standing in my backyard on January
11, 2003, with a friend, I spotted a bright object coming from the southwest
at 12:10 PM. It was very high up and moving in a slow, straight line and
faded into the east. I asked my friend to have a look and we watched the
object for 5 minutes. With binoculars, the object was somewhat flat on
the bottom and domed on top. Not like pictures of flying saucers that
I've seen. The top was domed like half of a circle. The object seemed
compact in shape, not long and stretched out like an airplane. The object
was a very strange shade of green, kind of lime colored, and never changed
it's brightness. It was almost as if the brightness was a light and not
necessarily the color of the object. It was VERY bright.

- ALABAMA EGG UFO CAUSES BATTERY FAILURE
-
- MOUNDVILLE -- Two egg shaped objects with lights were
observed moving in a 'Z' pattern on January 6, 2003, by several witnesses.
The witness stated, "The batteries and lights on our vehicle stopped
when two egg shaped objects approached us. We were in the Talladega National
Forest when two egg shaped objects about the size of the tops of trees
were observed. When the lights flashed it illuminated the sky and the
whole area. The lights were red, yellow, and blue. They moved left and
right and up and down sort of in a Z shape. When we approached the lights
and battery needle stopped in our vehicle. One object came about 50 yards
from our vehicle, then it immediately left. This object was spotted off
and on for over an hour.

- MINNESOTA DISK CHANGES COLORS
-
- WINNEBAGO -- At about 8:30 AM, on January 2, 2003, my
husband noted a bright light in the sky and told my 15 year old foster
son and I, "Come and look at the UFO." Not really believing
him, we looked thinking he was foolish. We saw at first a bright light
and then as we watched, it began to change colors in a circler motion.
We saw a disk shape craft with lights that circled around the craft changing
colors from white, to red, green, and blue. It hovered for the longest
time and then began to come a little closer. I got the binoculars and
looked and I could see it was in a disk shape or like what you would see
in the television shows. The coolest part was that we were able to see
what appeared to be windows all along the top half of the craft. The UFO
stayed around for an hour and a half. My 21 year old daughter and I saw
it again the next night. Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC

- IOWA HOVERING OBJECT WITH LIGHTS
-
- AURELIA -- Julie W. reports, "I was driving home
from work at 8:10 PM, on January 2, 2003, and I noticed a bright object
in the northeast sky and noticed that there were red, green and white lights
on the object that was not moving. It was at that time that I noticed
another hovering object exactly like the other one to the southeast. Then
I noticed an airplane above the object on my left, and that made it very
evident that what I was watching was just sitting there. I got within
a half mile from Aurelia, and tried to call my husband but, the phone was
busy. When I got home I told him what I had seen and that I had tried
to call, he said he hadn't been on the phone. Also, my computer was really
having problems--my connection is through a satellite. I had a similar
experience several years ago in NW Iowa, only there were many more UFOs,
and my children and I witnessed a one only a couple of hundred feet away.

- MISSOURI LIGHTS MOVE IN UNBELIEVABLE FORMATIONS
-
- BLUE SPRINGS -- The witness reports, "My girlfriend
and I observed a bright flashing light in the sky on January 1, 2003, with
the colors changing from white to red to green in that sequence."
The object hovered in one spot for 30 seconds and then began to move in
random directions. While moving, the object would change it's rate of
speed constantly and then stopped suddenly. It was higher than any helicopter
could fly and made sharp movements that airplane could not. It also moved
in a small circular motion followed by a slightly larger circle. Another
object had the same light pattern on it and moved in the same formations
as the original almost as if the two where communicating. I stopped watching
at 6:30 AM. I hadn't had anything to drink. Thanks to Peter Davenport

- KANSAS DISKS PHOTOGRAPHED
-
- WICHITA -- Matt Hitt phoned to tell me he was at the
local mall on January 8, 2003, when he noticed a disk shaped craft flying
over the area. He went into the local drug store and purchased a camera
and film and started photographing at 5:20 PM. His taking photos of the
sky caused a crowd to form and look at the UFOs flying overhead. An Air
Force Captain dressed in uniform was amazed to see the disks. He pointed
and said, "That's not a plane!" He claimed he was a pilot and
had never seen UFOs or anything like that. Their were heavy contrails
high in the sky and the UFOs were flying around below the contrails. Matt
called me immediately after the sighting and seemed quite excited. Thanks

- CALIFORNIA PILOT SPOTS FLYING TRIANGLES
-
- SAN JOSE -- Near dusk at 5:20 PM, a private pilot saw
two black, triangles hovering in a very slow flight pattern on January
1, 2003. The sky was still bright blue and these triangles did not fly
like our planes or birds. The witness said, "I watched for ten minutes
as they headed from the east to the west and then slowly, back toward the
west again." They moved progressively closer together, and appeared
to be about 45,000 feet altitude. Several jumbo jets passed underneath
at 15-20,000 feet during my observation. The flying triangles were clearly
not flying like the planes, nor did they look anything like any kinds of
planes I have ever seen. I am a private pilot and quite familiar with
the flight patterns in this area. I have also observed many birds of prey
such as hawks and eagles and these craft were not like any bird. This
is the first time I have ever observed anything like this. I have always
been extremely skeptical about UFO's and have not really thought they were
anything but mistaken identities. However, these objects were clearly
some kind of object that I could not identify.
-
- SPRING VALLEY -- My family and I were sitting in the
back yard about twenty-five minutes after midnight right after the New
Year's started. We were all talking, when I saw a bright orange reddish
light coming from the north; I told every one, "Do you guys see that?"
It was very bright and flying very slow. When it got closer, the lights
started to dim and then they would get bright again, then it started to
go west very slow almost to a stop. It started to drop something we could
not figure out what it was. Then it started to go west and we could see
spinning lights, and finally the light turned off.
-
- BURBANK -- My wife and I are musicians we were retiring
home on January 1, 2003, and were unloading our equipment. I had asked
my son (age 15) and his friend to help me unload our truck I glanced to
look up for Orion and immediately noticed six moving stars that I didn't
recognize. They were orangish yellow in color and in a pattern like thin
#4. I called to my son, his friend and my wife. The craft was traveling
in northwest and very high (could've been 100-200 miles). We all noticed
that they began to turn southwest. The turn was abrupt and they formed
another pattern similar to the Big Dipper. They continued to extend starting
to form a single line and then one by one seemed to shoot straight up out
of sight. I did also notice that one or two seemed to have smaller lights
shooting out from them before they disappeared.
-
- BURBANK -- On New Year's Eve my family went outside to
bang some pots and pans and shoot off our party poppers at our friends
home. During the celebration I looked up at a very clear sky and noticed
two orange/red orbs glowing and moving very slow across the sky. One was
in front of the other. The orbs were traveling west and sparks or fire
of some sort, like a sparkler trailed off from the fireball. The shapes
took a turn and started heading north and they both burned out within five
seconds of each other. My sister and I had seen some five weeks ago heading
east across the sky. Thanks to Peter Davenport <http://www.ufocenter.com/>NUFORC

- ITALIAN SIGHTINGS IN 2002 WILL SET NEW RECORD
-
- ITALIAN UFO NEWSFLASH 381--The Italian Center for UFO
Studies (Centro Italiano Studi Ufologici, CISU) reports, "The drop
in reports in the month of December notwithstanding, 2002 went out as a
record-setting year, for sightings and reports of UFO phenomena in Italy."
As of this writing, in fact, the number of cases histories gathered and
filed by the Italian Center for UFO Studies (CISU) totals 724 for last
year, compared with the 796 which made the preceding 2001 one of the richest
periods of the last 24 years. It is expected that in the coming months
-- as usual -- the total of cases for 2002 will grow to surpass that of
2001, which at this point a year ago saw "only" 630 cases. This
result is, in part, due to the always-increasing efficiency of the CISU
telematic working group on the Italian caselog, which by now is fully operational
and manages to systematically monitor the reports gathered from every available
source. The month-by-month distribution of Italian sightings for 2002
was less spotty than that for 2001, which was much more centered around
a summer flap. Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna turned out to be the richest
regions for reports, followed by Veneto and Tuscany; and the usual prevalence
of Northern Italy was confirmed, with 56% of the observations. More detailed
information is on the CISU Website at www.cisu.org Thanks to Giorgio Abraini

- AUSTRALIA THREE SPHERES SIGHTED
-
- SYDNEY -- In the suburbs directly west of Central Business
District on January 13, 2003. Dominika went outside to move the garden
sprinkler at 11:10 PM. She looked up and saw three spheres below the clouds
east of us and called out to me. I joined her outside, it was apparent
that this was not normal air traffic. They glowed orange red, made no
sound and traveled very slowly west. The first sphere was larger and maintained
a steady speed and luminosity. The other two stopped occasionally and dimmed
and brightened, then continued. They took a couple of minutes to get about
10 km west of us then faded and disappeared. They were several times larger
than airplanes. Normal air traffic was absent for another half hour after.

- PRIEST GIVES HIS OPINION
-
- I thought about your statement of "messengers"
and I am very familiar with the thought of superior technology from two
or three thousand years ago. We always look at things as though we have
a "lock" on technology -- as if there cannot be another civilization
in the Universe which exceeds us in knowledge. The complicated part of
accepting "technically superior messengers" doing God's work
is that you then have to think about God and the role played by this Supreme
Architect of the Universe! This frightens people -- and more so, It really
frightens the church! Those that are in charge of "protecting"
the sacredness of the church (bishops), shut their minds when it comes
to the possibilities of ET's and higher level beings. Unfortunately, the
thought of anything other than what we can see and touch in the here and
now is too much for many people, so we have to deal with (be tolerant of)
the denial by the church and the masses that follow dogmatic teaching!
One of these days it will all be revealed without question . . . unfortunately,
there will still be those that will not accept it! So, we just keep going
on, collecting the evidence, and living our lives as best we can! Actually,
when you get right down to it, it's all we can do, no matter what the circumstances!
Have a great day -- will keep in touch? Father. T
