- UFOs were observed over New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Michigan, Louisiana, Texas, Canada, Puerto Rico, Brazil, England,
Scotland, and Spain. Sightings have picked up strongly since New Year's
Eve.

- NEW YORK OVAL LIGHT OVER LONG ISLAND ON NEW YEAR'S
DAY.
-
- NEW HYDE PARK -- The witness
reports coming home sober at 5:00 AM on January 1, 2002, from a New Year's
Eve party and saw a strange light in the sky. It was strange only because
it was ascending in the sky next to another aircraft, which was obviously
an airplane. The strange gliding light was ascending higher and was
brighter
then the airplane. In addition, this object appeared to be made of light
and did not blink. When it stopped ascending, it changed its color from
a white light to a brighter yellow light. It was in the western sky, which
could mean it was flying right over NYC no more then 25 miles away. It
flew at the same altitude for a few minutes, then did a small, barely
noticeable
zigzag movement, and then changed back to a white light color. A minute
later it disappeared in the very clear night sky.
-
- LONG ISLAND CITY -- On
December
30, 2001, about midnight eight friends left a restaurant and stopped to
look at the moon and stars. One witness reports, "What we were looking
at started to dart and shoot all over the sky. There were so many! Some
lined up in order and then just went off in their own direction; just to
zip back and forth. Others looked like they were playing a game of cat
and mouse. They were darting all over the sky for the longest time. They
ran back into the restaurant and called the people to go out to see it.
We were all in shock! Thanks to Peter Davenport Director NUFORC,

- NEW JERSEY FIERY RED LIGHT
-
- VERNON -- A witness phoned
to report seeing a huge fiery red light just above the trees over a field
on January 16, 2002. She was driving south of Route 94 at 6:40 AM about
five miles from the New York border when she saw the brilliant red light.
It dimmed then moved to another spot in the sky where it became quite
large again. She was very frightened and drove twenty miles over the speed
limit to get away from the light. This area is part of the Appalachian
Mountains and Earth Lights could be the cause of the fiery red light.
The Vernon Police were notified and they mentioned they had received
numerous
reports of a light near the top of a mountain and both the police and Park
Rangers were investigating." The witness was very upset by the
incident.
-
- NORTH NEW JERSEY -- Another
report stated, "My neighbor recently caught some video this week on
two different nights. Although this may not be a UFO, it is very curious.
The light is off in the distance, and seems to hover, when paused it has
various colors and shapes. Thanks to Brian Vike Independent UFO Field

- PENNSYLVANIA DARK SPIDER-SHAPED OBJECTS
-
- WHITEHALL -- The witness
and his mother saw two objects flying above Circuit City on January 2,
2002. The sun had just set at 5:00 PM when the witness's mother asked,
"What are those? At first they looked like dark planes flying
parallel
to each other with no lights. The witness says, "I noticed the odd
shape of the crafts. They were shaped like spiders, with a solid body in
the middle and extensions from that in all directions. There were 4 or
5 extensions and no sound was heard, and there were no lights on the crafts
and they were very dark in color. The unusual shape scared us both and
I became fearful of terrorism by another country, and my mother ran into
the store to get my dad. By the time they came out it was too far away
to see. Thanks to NUFORC www.ufocenter.com.

- OHIO TRIANGLE HOVERING NEAR FREEWAY CHRISTMAS
EVE.
-
- COLUMBUS -- The witness was
driving east on I-70 late on December 24, 2001, when he saw a bright light
hovering over the highway at 11:00 PM. As he drove closer, there were
two lights 1500 to 2000 feet up and just sitting still. The witness
states,
"While going past it, I lowered my window and heard no sound but I
could barely see the shape of a triangle." In the front, two lights
were noticeable, one at one corner, and one at another. A third light
was observed at the back (apex) that was much dimmer. It was not a
helicopter,
as I am an EMT. I had my CB radio on and didn't hear anyone else saying
they saw it. Visibility was good and sky clear. It was about the size
of my thumbnail
-
- SALEM -- My sister was taking
photos of a new pond that was constructed on my brother's property on
December
28, 2001, located 1.5 miles out of the Salem city limits. She didn't see
anything at the time, but when she got the pictures back from being
developed,
a saucer shaped object could be seen in one of the photos. Thanks to Peter
Davenport NUFORC

- MICHIGAN FLYING TRIANGLE
-
- WILLIAMSBURG -- On December
27, 2001, at 10:40 PM, the witness had been snow plowing and I noticed
an object in the sky with bright white lights and maybe 1 or 2 small red
ones. When the witness got a 100 yards out, he stopped his vehicle to
get a better look. The object was hovering and probably the size of a
basketball court. The witness says, " In no more than 5 seconds it
went from a dead stand still to an abrupt fast sprint forward and after
a few seconds began to slow. I threw my truck in reverse and drove
backwards
somewhat parallel to the object, the horizon grew higher with trees, and
I eventually lost it." He drove out to the main road, to a higher
in elevation in only 20 seconds but it had departed. "The way the
thing moved and looked, was nothing similar to any aircraft I have ever
seen," he said. Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC

-
- MARSHFIELD/PITTSVILLE --
UFOWisconsin witness reports, "My friend and his son were coming home
from Marshfield on January 9, 2002, and when they arrived they had told
me that they had seen a lot of unidentifiable flashing lights in the sky
and to go out on the roof and look. Two adults and two teenagers witnessed
these lights from 7 to 7:45 PM. There were many small lights in the sky,
each object seemed to have three colors red, yellow, green. There was
no pattern to their travel. Some were moving very fast and then would
stop and change direction rapidly. Others would be moving fast and then
stop and the lights would dim very low. It was nothing I have ever
witnessed
before. They were flying much too close to be aircraft flying at different
heights and speeds. Thanks to UFOWisconsin.com

- OKLAHOMA BURNING UFO
-
- MERRITT -- Jim Hickman
reports
that on January 8, 2002, a UFO was seen by two teenagers, a brother and
sister, who were returning home at 8:40 PM. They were traveling down
Merritt
Road south of the town when they noticed what appeared to be a barn fire
ahead of them. As they approached within 1/2 mile they observed that it
was actually an object behind the barn. It was bigger than the barn and
was emitting a "real bright" white/yellow/orange flashing light,
which appeared to move upwards from behind the barn. The object then
turned
sideways with blue and red flashing lights in three rows around the outer
edge of the object. The UFO was flying under 1000 feet in altitude, when
if flew upward to a point near overhead and then dimmed till disappearing.
No noise was heard and the object was in sight for several minutes. No
electrical interference was noted, no missing time reported and the skies
were clear. They noticed more red and blue lights in the road ahead,
exactly!
where the object had just been. This turned out to be an Oklahoma Highway
Patrol car that had stopped a speeder. The officer didn't appear to have
noticed the aerial object, which should have been in plain sight of the
officer. A neighbor lady reports seeing the same object the night before.
Note: As I was receiving this report by phone I noticed quite a bit of
background clicking and unusual noises on the phone. The witness had just
said the word "flying saucer" when the line just went dead.
This happened at least 3 times during the conversation, each time just
as UFO's were being mentioned. I went to my hard line phone and it did
the same thing my cordless did. I have never had phone line trouble.

- LOUISIANA CIGAR SHAPED CRAFT
-
- JENA -- The witness was
hunting
from his deer stand at 5:30 AM on December 28, 2001. There was a very
bright moon visible in the clear sky when he saw a falling star. A few
minutes later in the north sky about 30 degrees above horizon he saw a
cigar shaped craft moving very slow then stopping. The witness reports,
"Then it moved very fast across the sky going up then down very fast
and stopping again like it was looking for something. I used my gun scope
to look at the craft it was a very long way from my but very shiny and
long bright silver." Thanks to NUFORC www.ufocenter.com
-
- TEXAS SEVERAL LARGE CRAFT SEEN
-
- PASADENA -- On New Year's
Eve the witness was driving west when he saw a second long elaborate
fireworks
display. He reports, "What I saw was a huge rectangular shaped object
at least 300 yards long and 50 yards wide. It was vertical with several
bright white lights inside a red rectangular outer rim." It was 350
feet in the air and probably over the city of Pearland, Texas, which is
about 10 miles from where I saw the object. It was incredibly beautiful
in the cloudy sky and I wish I could have observed it longer. I believe
it was either a craft or a holograph. Even though it was New Year's Eve
I had not been imbibing and was completely sober. Although after
witnessing
the event I could have used a good stiff drink.
-
- DALLAS -- The witness was
on an American Airlines Flight 1566 on December 31, 2001, from Dallas to
Washington, DC. They took off at 2:15 PM and climbed above the clouds
to 33,000 feet. To the northeast, the witness noticed a solid white round
object flying several thousand feet lower, and thought it might be a bird
or balloon. It seemed to over or float. The witness stated,
"Eventually,
it is directly in line with my window but at the same distance away. I
surmise that at 500 mph, we have caught up with it, and it has not moved.
I didn't see it move at that point. The white object then flies west,
is still for a moment and then, shoots out in a diagonal of a northwesterly
route and disappears in seconds into the horizon. Thanks to Peter
Davenport

-
- PASADENA -- On January 7,
2002, the witness's wife, and son were leaving a restaurant and noticed
a group of lights in the sky. As they headed east on Spencer highway
towards
La Porte, they watched three lights, and the highest, "faded"
a little and headed north rapidly, until we could not see it. The one
on the south dropped lower and then "shot" south very fast and
was gone at 7:15 PM. The middle one just hung there, moving only slightly
to the left and right and up and down. It got brighter and then dimmer;
it was yellowish in color with a hint of a red and blue shimmer. My wife
suggested that it might be a helicopter with the searchlight, there were
13 or more aircraft all converging towards the light near La Porte field
which only caters to personal aircraft. Thanks to Far Shores

- SPRING -- On Sunday, January
6, 2002, my sister saw a silver sphere in the sky around 2:00 PM, about
twenty miles north of downtown Houston off I-45. She said it looked silver
or metallic in color, and flew around in circles then suddenly disappeared.
The next day, she took me outside at 3:00 PM, to show me where she saw
it and there it was again in the same spot! I saw it this time, and my
description is the same as hers. It is the size of a balloon at arm's
length, but actually the size of maybe half of a Volkswagen. The object
looked more round than any other shape. The UFO was flying haphazardly
like a bird fighting the wind, but definitely wasn't a bird. The UFO made
no sound and was flying at 1000 feet or lower on a clear blue sky. It
was shiny like it was made of shiny metal. It was also seen in Pearland
on Sunday, 30 miles south of us according to the local ABC News channel
13 here in Houston with video.
-
- HOUSTON -- KTRK TV, reported
some Pearland residents are still scratching their heads after spotting
a strange object in the sky on Sunday. But was it a UFO? Rocky Flint
captured images Sunday afternoon January 6, 2002, with his video recorder
in Pearland. It appears to be a burning object in the sky. His wife,
Cynthia, says it was hard to miss, "It resembled a floating
fireball."
The fiery ball appears to remain stationary for several minutes before
moving downward and then disappearing. I've never in my whole life seen
anything like it." Eyewitness News made calls to both airports and
neither one could shed any light on the mystery. The Brazoria County
Sheriff's
Department also received some calls, but they couldn't find anything.
Flint's husband has his own theory. He said that it looked like a
UFO."
We made another call to NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense
Command.
They also failed to provide answers. Thanks to Scott Corrales, Institute

- CANADA DISK AND FLYING TRIANGLE
-
- VANCOUVER, BC -- The witness
was heading west on Barnet Highway while returning from Christmas dinner
on December 25, 2001. At 7:30 PM, the witness noticed an object in the
northeast. His wife confirmed seeing a triangular shaped flying object
with green and white lights. It was not moving and was just hovering
perfectly
still. It was flying above the mountains, but they could not stop on the
highway. The witness said, "We lost sight of the triangle through
the trees in just under a minute."
-
- VICTORIA, BC -- My wife and
I observed a dark brown/black disk shaped object on December 31, 2001.
It was moving above a 9 story high-rise at 11:20 PM, and was the size
of a two-dollar coin held at arm's length. I was wearing my glasses, which
are not a precise prescription and saw a dome on its top and a disk shaped
underside that seemed to dip slightly back and forth while moving generally
south. It tipped slightly at a forward angle. At the same time it swooped
a few degrees to the left and back before resuming a straight course south.
I called to my wife Leann, who came quickly. She also saw the dome on
the top, but she thought it may have been a balloon. A few things seem
to militate against it being a balloon: 1) it was moving very quickly and
it was not windy (at least not at ground elevation) 2) it appeared to slow
down, almost hover, and then accelerate 3) it moved side to side 4) it
was disk shaped and dark. Later, a fellow mentioned that he and some
cowork!
ers had seen the object at 11:30 AM. They were working a block to the
west near downtown Victoria. His coworkers were looking at it with some
degree of excitement, as they also were not certain what it was either
but decided it must have been a balloon.

On January 4, 2002, the two witnesses, Magdalena Gotay standing on the
staircase to her house, saw a square flying object and Dr. Carlos
Fernández
a psychologist who was standing on the street in front of his house,
perceived
it as an oval. At 2:30 AM, they saw a flat dark gray metallic UFO with
many yellowish lights fly over head. It was three times the size of an
airliner heading south very slowly. It was moving diagonally and
zigzagging
up and down at an altitude of 2000 feet. It made a strange noise that
they could not compare to anything else. It hid behind a cloud after 7
to 10 minutes and was not seen again. Thanks to www.ovni.net. Translation

- BRAZIL ASTONISHING UFOs
-
- PERNAMBUCO -- Unexplained
lights, cigar shaped luminous objects, small points crossing space at
prodigious
speed have been seen along the coast, particularly in the municipality
of Brejo da Madre de Deus. President of the Grupo Ufologico de
Guarujá
(GUG), Edison Boaventura took advantage of a transfer to Recife and
collected
reports from persons who saw UFOs. For example, Attorney Wilson Andrade
Souza, a resident of Boa Viagem, claims he has seen UFOs on repeated
occasions
and speaks delightedly about his experiences. "My wife and I were
standing on the porch to our house when we saw an object in the sky,
resembling
a cigar, surrounded by 20 smaller disc-shaped objects, flying in disarray.
It was a beautiful sight," he states. Souza has also seen UFOs over
the Guararapes Airport in the municipality of Cupira, 168 kilometers north
of Recife. "Some employees on a ranch saw one land and disgorge
little
men who helped themselves to the guava trees." Boaventura's
investigat!
ions also included a complete sweep of Brejo da Madre de Deus, famous for
being one of the most important archaeological sites of the Northeast,

(3:15 PM). The UFO was cylindrical in shape, with two whitish lights in
its "bow" and "stern" respectively. It was metallic
and wingless with two protuberance visible on its nose similar to a

- SCIENTIST INVESTIGATES NORTHEAST SIGHTING
REPORT
-
- Dick Lions reports, "I have spoken at length with
a scientist at the labs who believes we may be able to test whether my
hypothesis of ionizing radiations being present in Charlene's sighting
is possible. The irregular red glowing stove shaped object appeared about
20 feet in front of her car. The headlights of the car began to flicker,
the radio she was listening to crackled then died. The engine stopped
and she saw a red glowing almost translucent like a red glowing stove
element,
somewhat irregular shaped object that hovered ten feet off the ground.
The object was irregular in shape, roundish but the edges were not
well-defined
and seemed to wobble or change almost like a cartoon animation. The object
also seemed to be giving off sparks or something and maintained its
position
for five minutes, when it morphed into a pillar like shape, and shot
straight
up into the sky at incredible speed. (See Filer's Files #50)
-
- First let me describe two possible methods of
investigation
to consider. The first has to do with the failed clock and CD player.
If, as my theory would contend, their failure was due to penetrating
radiations,
then those radiations would likely have caused electric charges to become
entrapped inside some of the semiconductor chips. The trapped charges
disrupt
normal transistor functions, and the chip then doesn't work. However,
by heating the chip to just the right temperature, those trapped charges
can then be "annealed out".
-
- If an inoperative chip in one of your devices could be
made to function again by annealing it, that would be substantial proof
that it had been exposed to ionizing radiation. Perhaps it's appropriate
to ask here whether those devices are still inoperative, or whether they
began working again? If either one is still inoperative they can be
tested.
The other line of investigation would be to test some exposed material
for radioactive transmutations.
-
- The fact that things inside the car were strongly
affected
implies the radiations were very penetrating. If those radiations were,
for example, protons, then they would likely have caused transmutations
of trace amounts of materials, particularly metals. Most of the transmuted
material would be radioactive, and the presence of that radioactivity would
be a positive indication of exposure. Unfortunately, though, most of the
radioactivity dies away within a few days or weeks, and can then no longer
be detected.
-
- However, if we're lucky, there may be some unusual
material
in something that results in radioisotopes with longer lifetimes, and there
might still be enough of those left to detect. Electronic devices often
contain lots of different metals (iron, aluminum, nickel, chromium, tin,
lead, gold, etc.), so would be worth testing in this manner. I should
point out that the amount of radioactivity produced by the exposure would
have been minuscule, so there would b! e no hazard in handling exposed
materials. It takes an extremely sensitive laboratory setup to have any
chance of detecting such small amounts of radioactivity.
-
- If you sent us an inoperative clock or CD player, we
could use it for both tests. First we would put it in a "counting
chamber" for radioactivity analysis. That would take about a week.
Then we would try to find an inoperative chip and do the annealing trick.
Both of these are "long shots" insofar as finding something
definitive
is concerned. On the other hand, this is a rare opportunity to test a
possible explanation, and a "hit" on either test would have great
scientific weight in arguing the case. Do you think it might be possible
to make one of those devices (or perhaps something else) available to us
for such testing? A possible "something else," for example,
might be the batteries in a flashlight or cellular phone (if you had one
in the car at the time). Even though the phone may not have been affected,
the materials in the battery may have undergone trace amounts of
transmutation.
If you did have a flashlight in the car and it was a metal one, we'd
probably
ask for it. If it were plastic, only the batteries would be useful. If
you can think of anything else along that line that may have been present
in the car, I'd like to hear about it.

-
- Editor's Note: Many
well-known
scientists with credentials and awards read these files. Most choose to
remain anonymous. Many complain their supervisors are not open minded.
I have noticed an awakening-taking place concerning the possibility that
the UFO phenomenon is real or at least worth investigating. Although,
Earth Lights are a real phenomenon many reports of fiery plasmas appear
to be part of the UFO cloaking or propulsion system.
-
- MARS FOLLOW THE WATER
-
- Robert Roy Britt reports that's good advice. But hard
to heed on such a dry and dusty planet. Mars now looks downright dead.
Liquid water, if it exists, is probably a mile deep or more, scientists
say. But there are two places where water is known to exist in mass
quantities,
right at the surface: The polar caps. Though summer melts a thin layer
of carbon dioxide frost at the poles, a thick layer of mostly water ice
remains. At the North Pole, the permanent ice cap is larger than Texas
and more than a half-mile thick. Little critters, lathered in natural
sunscreen
and swathed in biological antifreeze, could be lurking just a few feet
under the ice. These microscopic Martians might hibernate for months or
even thousands of years, waiting for a brief thaw, a personal spring
vacation.
Other life could be doing the backstroke, or whatever microbes do in their
spare time, in languid pools of water melted by subsurface volcanic
activity,
all just a few yards down. Though! they might sound a bit like fish tales,
these ideas are growing in popularity among scientists who have explored
similar extreme environments, and the so-called extremophiles that inhabit
them, on Earth.
-
- In the permafrost of Siberia, for example, a species
of moss was found dormant but alive after 40,000 years. "Life survives
and even thrives in a variety of icy microhabitats in Earth's polar
regions,"
says Warwick F. Vincent, a professor of biology at Laval University in
Canada. He and his colleagues recently discovered bacteria and even more
advanced life in pockets of water below the icy surface of the Arctic.
An obvious question follows for anyone interested in finding life on Mars:
"If we're following the water ... why is there not a heavy search
in the areas where we know there is water ice?" wonders Meredith
Payne,
an Arizona State University researcher. As NASA struggles to refocus its
Mars program, one supremely logical mantra has emerged to guide the search
for Martian life: The next robots that will explore the surface of Mars,
one from the European Space Agency and a pair from NASA, are planned for
2003 and 2004, but are not targeting the Polar Regions. See www.filersfiles.com,
