- MAINE CHEVRON SHAPED OBJECT WITH BLINDING
LIGHT
-
- RICHMOND -- On January 3, 2002, the witness a construction
industry management engineering expert, observed a blinding light very
high in the horizon at 9:35 PM. He was traveling on Interstate #95 to exit
#25 in Bowdoin. The light was stationary but too high in the sky to be
a tower light. The lights did not change in size or intensity. There were
blinking red and green lights directly on either side of the bright center
light flashing in a regular pattern and appeared to be directly adjacent
to the center light rather than offset from it. When I exited at #25 south,
I pulled off to the side of the road behind two other vehicles that had
also stopped to look; I watched as the craft began to move diagonally northeast
very slowly. I called Peter Davenport via cell phone and the craft changed
direction and flew almost directly overhead. The object was a wedge or
a chevron with a pair of swept wings attached to a center fuselage with
solid webbing between the wings and the fuselage. The length of the appendages
of were equilateral with a slight curvature of the webbing at the trailing
edge. All of the underside surfaces were equally well lit with a diffused
light. The surfaces were silver-gray but clarity and light quality faded
at the periphery of the object.
-
- It was as though someone shined a spotlight directly
upward at the underbody and only illuminated the center portion of the
craft. The object flew very slowly overhead and appeared to proceed in
an elliptical path north then south again. The visible change in direction
was almost immediate and didn't appear to allow time for a west to east
arc. There was no discernible sound from the object that was moving very
slowly as it passed overhead. It was the size of a quarter when held at
arm's length. The sky was extremely clear. The object made two circles
then disappeared over the tree line. Thanks to Peter Davenport National

- NEW YORK SILVER DISK
-
- BROOKLYN -- The witness states, "I had a recent
short sighting on Saturday, January 5, 2002, at 8:40 AM. while on a bus
#46. The bus stopped at Church Avenue and I was looking west out the window
when I saw a stationary silver disk in the sky reflecting the morning sun.
It didn't move or wobble at any time but just hovered. It had to be above
10,000 feet because there were passenger jets above it to the southwest
and northwest. I was watching it for about 15 seconds without looking away
and it disappeared. It looked about the size of an air rifle pellet. I
have been doing a lot of thinking since I finished reading a Wendelle C.
Stevens book. People have been having contact with ET's for a long time
and yet the information like those in his books go unreported or unknown
to the majority of people. I know very well that abductions/contacts continue
happening, but I think that the world should know of these older reports
from the 50's through 70's as a way of promoting interest and investigation
in other countries. Why aren't the major organizations enlisting investigators
around the world to reinvestigate those older contacts along with the newer
contacts? I had never reported my sightings until I did with you and I
am glad that I did because I can read your Filer's Files and know that
others are having sightings and reporting them. Thanks and God Bless. grodriguez@windelsmarx.com
-
- Editor's Note: There are a few researchers attempting
to spread the word and gather data such as retired Lt.Col. Wendelle Stevens.
MUFON and most other UFO organizations do not have the funds to support
any research. Virtually all investigation is paid for individually by the
investigators themselves. Therefore, there is very limited capability.
Your corner Pizza Restaurant spends more, so consequently there is little
real scientific research that can be done except by volunteers. Real research
is very expensive. Those who make large amounts of money in the Entertainment
Industry or Business do not appear interested in supporting UFO research.
I'm hoping that this will change.

- NEW JERSEY UFO SIGHTING
-
- RUTHERFORD -- On January 9, 2002, I was driving on Route
3 west out of Lyndhurst when I saw a bright light to the right of me at
12:15 AM. I thought it was a plane descending ,but as it got closer I realized
that it wasn't in the shape of a plane and it was circular. It had two
bright lights in the front like head lights and around it were little white
lights with a few green and red. It was descending fast, circling down
to the ground and then it disappeared. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director
of the UFO Reporting Center www.ufocenter.com

- MISSISSIPPI FLYING TRIANGLE
-
- PONTOTOC -- On January 8, 2002, the witness saw a wedge
shaped craft at about 6:40 PM, that was heading southeast at about 2000
feet. It had one continuous light which lit up the whole outer edge of
the craft. The sighting lasted about 30 seconds. The craft made no noise.
I noticed another wedge shaped object just hovering for almost an hour.
It is now 7:30 and it is still there. A large, low-flying rectangular object
was sighted on November 19, 2001, at 9:45 PM by the same witness. Three
wedged shaped craft had red green, white, and yellow lights. The craft
made no sound and flew at 2000 feet. They were traveling west at a very
high rate of speed in a triangle formation. Thanks to NUFORC

- LOUISIANA SIGHTING STRETCHES
FROM LOUISIANA TO MISSISSIPPI
-
- HONEY ISLAND SWAMP -- On January 13, 2002, Joe and Linda
Montaldoy were driving in the swamp that includes Stennis NASA Test Site
near Pearl River. They entered near sunset and drove in eleven miles and
noticed the last of the hunters drive out about 5:45 PM, so they decided
to leave. They wrote, "As we got close to the gate a very bright,
circular, strobing light appeared behind the trees to our left in the south."
As it came over the tree line we got out of the car to watch it. I judged
from the height of the microwave tower I could see that it was about 1500
feet high. It continued in our direction and passed directly over our car.
We could plainly see that it was a triangular shaped black object with
an amber colored globe in the center, a red light at its front point and
a white light at each of its back points. It was about the size of a commercial
jet. We only viewed it for a few minutes because the road is narrow and
trees line both sides. We left the swamp and were headed back to I-59.
As we approached the ramp to the interstate we saw that it had stopped
over the swamp and was hovering in place. Because we are involved with
MUFON. we called our State Director on our cell phone. The craft now turned
back and headed southwest toward Pearl River. I could tell by the way it
was headed that it would pass directly over a deadend road I had been on
before, so I drove to the end of this road. We got out of the car and spotted
it moving very slowly at maybe 800 feet high. We were reporting over the
phone. It stopped, turned on its axis, and headed back in our direction
and passed directly over us as we stood outside our car. There was absolutely
no sound except the barking of some dogs in a nearby yard. We got back
in the car and followed it down the road. It was no more than 500 or 600
feet over us and was moving very slowly. We were driving only about 20
mph and it stayed right in front and over us. At this point it was hard
to tell it we were following it or it was staying with us when we reached
the end of the road the object headed south-southeast. We noticed two planes
cross right over it at a much higher altitude. As we got back to the interstate
the object began to gain altitude and speed. It was headed towards the
Pirate Harbor area. We lost sight of it on the interstate, so I decided
to get off I-10 and go to Pirates Harbor Road.
-
- We drove down this road 5 or 6 miles and came to an open
area. On one side of the road are camps and on the other side marsh. We
could see the craft over the marshes. It appeared to be tipped over on
its side. I could see no lights; I believe I was looking at the top of
it. It was like a black shape against the stars. Before it had been traveling
like a flat triangle shape and we could see only the bottom of it. As I
watched, it seem to flip over on it's other side and I could see the bottom
of it. Sort of like a car would flip and first you would see the hood and
roof, then you would see the underside and tires. Then it righted itself,
but continued to wobble. It was headed south-southeast toward the Ringlets
Pass, which was about three miles from where we were. The Ringlets Pass
is a deep-water channel that eventually leads into the Gulf of Mexico.
We had to speed up to keep it in sight but it was slowly loosing altitude.
When we got to the Ringlets Bridge we could see it had come down into the
marsh. We couldn't tell if it was in the water or above the water. Now
it was lit up with bright white lights all along the edge of it. We came
off the bridge and pulled into the Fort Pike boat launch. We got out of
our car and called our State Director back on the cell phone.
-
- The object was over the water about 100 to 200 yards
from us. To the right of us in the north a brilliant white light came into
view. It was just above tree level, about 300 o 400 feet high and moving
very slowly. It would move a little and then come to a complete stop. There
was a beam of light coming from under it making a searching pattern. As
we watched it started to move toward where we were standing. The light
turned off and it passed directly over us. There was no sound. We could
clearly see that it was a triangular shape with a red light in the front
white lights on both back points and an amber light in the middle. It was
the same type of craft that was in the water, but much smaller. As it passed
over us it made a circle toward the west and came back around. Several
times it came to a complete stop. When it was back to the spot it had started
from, it started to circle again. This time it was lower, maybe 200 to
250 feet, and moving more in the direction of the downed craft. Again very
slow movement and several complete stops.
-
- As we stood watching, we saw another craft light up from
the exact spot the first one had started. Craft #2 was moving in the same
path and at the same speed and altitude as craft #1. As #2 passed over
us we could see that it was another triangular craft with a red light in
front, two white lights in back, an amber globe in the middle, only this
craft had two rows of white lights running down the center of it's underside.
There were six lights in each row and they were either next to the globe
or over it. A third craft now showed up in the exact spot as the other
two. It made the same slow, stopping movements and circle as the other
two. As it passed over us we could see it was again a triangular craft
with the same lights, red in front, white in back, amber globe in the middle.
The only difference in this one was that it sent out a beam of light from
the front point for about 200 feet. The beam tilted downward but not far
enough to reach the ground. Now the three crafts were moving in an extremely
slow circle in the sky. They would stop completely and then move again.
We were still on the phone with our State Director and at this time he
told us we should get out of there.
-
- We took a last look and to the south an object was coming
our way. We could not see the shape of this object. All we could see was
a row of very bright lights. There were six lights, three lights a space,
and then three more. They were extremely bright and they seemed to be blinking
on very, very fast. So fast that you couldn't really tell when one went
off the one next to it came on. They were flashing and strobing so quickly,
that I couldn't really focus on them. Something caught my attention in
the corner of my eye, and I turned around and realized that the craft in
the water had changed. The white lights around its edge were now red. Then
it simply went under the water and disappeared. At the same moment they
all just disappeared. One moment there were four crafts in the sky and
one in the water and the next there was nothing. We got in our car and
made a rather speedy departure. Almost as soon as we were on the road,
a triangular craft, red light in front, white lights in back, amber in
the center, appeared to our left over the trees. At the same time car lights
shone right behind us on bright beam. As the triangle flew over us the
car engine started to cough and felt like it was going out, the lights
on the car flickered on and off, the cell phone started to ring, but it
said dead cell and went blank. All this happened in an instant. The triangle
flew over us at about 100 feet heading east to west and disappeared. The
car behind us passed at a very high speed and we saw that the plate said
US Government. We both got a headache almost immediately. The headache
was extremely painful. It felt like an immense pressure in our head and
behind our eyes. Our eyes were burning. There was also a feeling of being
ill. The incident took place between 5:45 and 8:30 PM Thanks to Joe and
Linda Montaldoy

- RAPIDES PARISH SHARP -- Bright lights in the night sky
have befuddled a couple who is the justice of the peace. However, the eerie
lights may have been nothing more than bombing range flares. Raymond and
Audrey Cupples were in their Sharp community home on La. Highway 8 at about
8:00 PM. Wednesday January 16, when Cupples noticed a "big, brilliant
light" southeast of the residence. The light appeared just above a
distant tree line, Cupples said. "I said, "It was strange. I'm
59 years old, and I've never seen anything like this." Cupples said
he stood in his front yard watching the light, a brilliant pinkish and
red color" -- for nearly two hours. It would flash on and off at varying
intervals, he said. At the same time, higher in the sky, between six and
10 smaller lights were steadily blinking off and on, he said. Cupples said
the large light, which did not appear to be moving very much, was not round
but more of an elongated oval shape. Mrs. Cupples said she came out and
"saw it twice. I didn't know what to make of it." Her husband
said the large light "did not illuminate the surrounding area."
Rather, he said, it was creating the luminescence. The other smaller lights
were not near the large light, Cupples said. And they "moved around
like a helicopter would," except there was no sound, he added. By
10 p.m. the lights were gone. Coincidentally, Cupples said he also saw
two brilliant "shooting stars" fly overhead during the sighting.
-
- Dan Nance, a spokesman for Fort Polk and the Joint Readiness
Training Center, confirmed that A-10 aircraft were flying over the Camp
Claiborne range at approximately the same time as Cupple's sighting. "They
did drop flares, which could account for the lights seen in the sky in
that vicinity," Flare drops were scheduled to end at 7:45 PM. Patrick
Thompson, air traffic manager for Alexandria International Airport, confirmed
this. He said the range "was active with flare drops" and that
"they light up the sky pretty good." However, Thompson said the
Cupples' sighting lasted until about 10 p.m., more than two hours after
the end of the flare run. The Town Talk, Alexandria - Pineville / Byline:

- IOWA SAUCERS FLASHING LIGHTS
-
- DUBUQUE -- The witness reports, "What we saw was
clearly a UFO with light blue flashing lights at 7:15 PM, on January 3,
2002. There were four of us in the car driving on Highway 61, when we saw
the UFO come toward us as we drove along. It seemed to change directions
and go the way we were going for a few seconds. It was only 50 feet above
us so we got a good look. It was saucer-shaped with a dome-like top. It
acted like it wanted us to stop the car. The flashing lights were very
bright, as they would flash on for a second, go off for about 1 and a half
to 2 seconds, and then back on again. The UFO was saucer-shaped and had
a dome-shaped top. The saucer had windows, 4, or 5 on the side we could
clearly see. The light seemed to be coming out of these windows. Finally
it started flying away from us and it disappeared, so we thought. Then
I saw the light blue lights again in my rearview mirror, which followed
us for about six miles. The lights were not getting further away from us
as we drove on. By the time we drove into the city, it was gone. We know
what we saw and no one's going to tell us any different.
-
- MARION -- At 7:30 PM, on January 3, 2002, a few minutes
after the above sighting. The witness noticed four motionless sources of
light, flashing red, blue, and white. The one craft I could see from my
bedroom window, and I am looking at one as I type this that is in the shape
of a "+," but this may be due to the window. At this time, which
is now 9:02 PM, it still hasn't moved from its spot. The other three remained
motionless too, but I cannot see hem now. I witnesses one ascending to
above my window's view, so I went outside, and it is still there. I can
see that both Saturn and Uranus are visible. Some would say that these
are planets. Well, there are two things wrong with that. 1: there are four
objects, not two. 2: What planets flash blue and white, then occasionally
red? They could be helicopters. This town has only 26,000 people and the
biggest city in a 50 miles hasis only 100,000. Why would four helicopters
hover over a small town not moving one inch in three hours? Nothing of
national importance is in this town. Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC www.ufocenter.com

- MISSOURI CIGAR SHAPED OBJECT
-
- LAKE OF THE OZARKS -- My friend first saw the object,
a bright light at 5:30 PM, on January 2, 2002, about half the size of the
moon or twice the size of Venus and larger than most plane and helicopter
lights I've seen. After rounding the corner I was looking for the object
and I saw it again, hovering about the trees over an area where there are
boat garages and little else, near the Osage Beach City Hall, and across
from Lake of the Ozarks General Hospital. It looked to be approximately
the size of a large jet airliner, was very low, and appeared to be ready
to land. It didn't appear to have wings and had two blue lights in the
back underneath it, then two other clear lights and two red lights toward
the front, and of course the extremely bright head light. We continued
down the road but were a bit shaken up by what we'd seen. I expected to
hear an explosion or something because I thought it was a jet plane that
was about to crash. There was nothing to indicate that anything had landed
or anything else. The object was larger than a helicopter and the one at
the hospital was parked and locked. Thanks to NUFORC

- ARKANSAS OBJECT WITH TWO BEAM LIGHTS
-
- VAN BUREN COUNTY -- Kaleeh Rodgers writes, "I was
on my way home from Church Wednesday Night January 16, 2002, and my friend
Carla was driving. I was sort of gazing out the window in boredom when
I saw an odd shaped object that had two beam-lights that shot straight
forward, like a flashlights beam. It had a triangular hook on the bottom
of it. This object stood completely still, it didn't seem to move in the
least. Carla said something to me, and I looked at her to reply, but when
I looked back, the object that had stood so still had disappeared into
the dark night's sky. God Bless, Thanks to Kaleeh Rodgers dc3_survivor@hotmail.co

- CALIFORNIA SILVER ORBS
-
- SACRAMENTO -- Jeff Challender writes, "Today, January
11, 2001, was one of the most incredible days of my life. My wife, son,
and I were out house hunting today. As we sat at a red stoplight, my son
in the rear seat exclaimed, "What is that?" I looked where he
indicated, and there, coming from the north was a silvery orb. It moved
in our direction at very good speed. The traffic light changed, but I didn't
want to stop watching, so I pulled up in a nearby parking lot (This was
in Roseville, a suburb of Sacramento, at 12:25 PM). From there we watched
this orb move almost directly over our position, where it came to a complete
stop!! It hovered for several minutes, and began to move slowly to the
west. After perhaps a minute or two, it turned, and began to move back
to the north from whence it came in the first place. We watched it until
it was lost in some clouds. We were about to leave for our appointment,
when Max shouted that there was another one. Sure enough, another silvery
orb, just like the first, was sailing along toward our position from the
north. We watched it do a near exact repeat of the actions of the first.
It got almost directly overhead, and stopped! This one hovered for nearly
five minutes before slowly moving off to the north again. We watched this
one until we could no longer see it in the haze. Amazed, and somewhat shocked,
we continued to our appointment with our real estate agent. We talked for
an hour with the agent when yet another silvery orb went streaking across
the northern sky from east to west. This one went so fast that it was gone
in less than 10 seconds. I hollered to the others when I saw it, but this
one was gone before any of the others could find it. WOW!! What a day!!
I've seen UFOs before, but never three separate objects in a day, and never
for over 20 minutes. The real pity is that I hadn't brought along my camcorder.
This would have made a great film. This is one day I won't forget any time
soon. Thanks to Jeff Jefchall@worldnet.att.net

- AUSTRIA YELLOW-ORANGE UFO SEEN
-
- VIENNA -- On Friday, January 11, 2002, at 5:50 PM, Herbert
F.C. stepped outside his home in the Hietzing section of the capital, and
then he "saw the object heading heavenward. I heard several loud booms,
and then I looked up and saw a bright yellow-orange light." "At
first I thought it was a passing airplane. And then out of it came several
smaller lights. I called my son who was upstairs in his room. My 14-year-old
son went to his window and saw 'something like a star' rising upward rapidly.
A moment later, four more bright UFOs passed directly over our house. These
lights hovered briefly and then departed to the north." Herbert added
that he contacted the Flugsicherung (Air Traffic Control) at Vienna's international
airport, but the controllers "had no reports of UFOs on their radar
screens at that time." Thanks to UFO ROUNDUP Vol. 7, #3 January 15,

- NEW NASA SHUTTLE VIDEO OF UFOs IN SPACE
-
- Jeff Challender has prepared a new hour-long tape of
UFOs filmed on recent Shuttle video footage in space. Jeff spends hundreds
of hours watching the shuttle broadcasts from space and is now an expert
on NASA missions and even those onboard the shuttle are unlikely to see
what Jeff does. Using Jeff's directions you will be able to learn the difference
between space junk, ice crystals and real UFOs. I feel confident we could
go into a court of law and convince any jury that there are UFOs moving
