- MASSACHUSETTS - CHEVRON FLIES ACROSS THE MOON.
-
- WOBURN -- The witness reports he was looking at the moon
with binoculars and had just gotten them sharply focused, when he saw a
Chevron shaped object on March 28, 2002. The object was shaped like a 'V,'
and flew across the face of the moon heading east. The object was black
and there were no running lights. The binoculars are Nikon 7x20 7.1d Travelite
2 model. The Chevron was small relative to the moon. It would take about
20 of it's wing spans to match the moon's diameter. A few seconds after
the sighting, it had disappeared and I could see stars and a few aircraft
in the area that were easily recognizable by their lighting. My first thought
was that an F-117 Stealth fighter was flying over. I wonder if anyone else
in the Boston area saw this. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director NUFORC

- NEW JERSEY SIGHTINGS
-
- NORTH ATLANTIC -- A Navy veteran reports, "I was
on air watch aboard USS Fort Mandan, LSD 21 in February 1952. During maneuvers
400 miles east of New Jersey, I spotted the Gondola of a Blimp flying 1/2
to 3/4 miles away. I was on the bridge about 15 feet from the Captain who
said there were no Blimps within 500 miles of our position. Then I heard
him whisper, "Blind SOB!" It was a partly cloudy day, cold and
windy with rough sea but not bad. I remember the clouds as I thought maybe
I saw some weird kind of reflection of a Blimp from over the horizon, especially
since they told me there was nothing on radar and not a Blimp around. I
still distinctly remember that it looked like a long Blimp Gondola with
windows but I did not see the Gas Bag above the Gondola so I figured a
cloud covered it. I followed it a bit and then reported aircraft off the
Port Beam. When I reported, I took my Binoculars off my eyes, and could
no longer find the object. Thanks to USN Retired and Brian Vike
-
- STERLING -- The witness is a 41-year-old female manager
reports seeing a small bright light 1000 feet high dipping low, that then
arced up, and was gone in only three seconds on April 5, 2002, at 6:55
PM. The object was star like but moved quickly. Its actual size was 11
to 30 feet and it appeared white, gray lead or silver like. The sky was
overcast. I phoned the witness several times and left messages but we have
not made contact. Thanks to MUFON Headquarters.

- ALABAMA WITNESSES SIGHT SIX LIGHTS
-
- ADELAIDE -- On April 4, 2002, at 10:00 PM, six bright
orange objects were flying southeast and resembled satellites. They were
as distant as stars, but moving at the rate a comet or satellite moves
across the sky. The objects were in formation. Three in each formation,
creating a pyramid effect. These exact same six objects were spotted two
years ago on Christmas night, however they were in a different formation
near Scorpio, when they moved strategically into the same pyramid effects
as viewed on the 4th. The witnesses are all of sound mind, working well
paid jobs from Correctional Services Officer to Financial Planner. The
same people as well as other family members also saw the lights 2 Christmases
ago. I am dumbfounded.

- FLORIDA FIREFLY TYPE LIGHT SEEN
-
- TAMPA -- Two witnesses were coming out of the AMC Westshore
Theater around 9:45 PM, on April 8, 2002. The witness reports, "I
looked up to look at the night sky and saw was a meteorite coming down
or skipping around on the atmosphere. So I kept looking but in less than
three seconds it turned and began to move very quickly. It was zigzagging
like a person shining a pen light on a board and moving it in motions like
a composure. That is why I thought it was a meteorite skipping off the
atmosphere at first. Then I realized that it was going in and out and underneath
and above the clouds. It moved from toward the south all in the space of
about 10-30 seconds. Nothing to my knowledge could have endured the G forces
caused by the maneuvers and the speed was tremendous. It traveled about
5 miles within 5 seconds. I pointed it to my mother who also saw it. She
said she would never get over it. I have wanted to see something like this
for 22 years. I would also like to make clear that it looked like a firefly
but there were no trails of light behind. This light was very clearly a
UFO. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director NUFORC www.ufocenter.com

- TENNESSEE -- CONVEX SHAPED LIGHTS
-
- ROELLEN-DYERSBURG -- The witness reports seeing red and
green lights that were convex shaped on March 7, 2002, that were small
enough to be beside the house and over trees. I was coming home from work
and no one else was on the road at 9:30 PM, when I saw the weird green
and red light hovering above the trees. I pulled into a vacant house driveway
to get a better look and it's lights were together and convex shaped as
it hovered over the trees beside the house like it was looking at me. I
had rolled down the windows and it had a humm sound to it. When it turned
it had a round yellow taillight. I couldn't tell what shape it had though.

- MISSISSIPPI FLYING DISCS AND POSSIBLE ALIEN VISITOR
-
- I have seen three UFOs, one from a great distance which
could be described as a spiraling wheel on March 20, 2001. I also saw two
moving UFOs within a mile of me and 1/2 mile from the Mississippi Test
Facility test stand where they were "static firing" and testing
the missile while it was fastened to tons of concrete prior to sending
the Saturn Rocket to Cape Kennedy. It later was used for the first stage
of the flight to the moon. I was with my three children on the way to the
site to pick up my husband. It literally made the hair on my neck stand
up. The next day people all over town were talking about the two, pulsing
lights that were hovering and moving back and forth near where the rocket
stood. Twenty-five people at the bowling alley had seen the UFOs. Their
descriptions fit mine exactly. In the 70's I was on the road for business
and stopped in a small cafe. While we were in there, a man came in and
asked the waitress where he could find liquid for batteries. It was very
early in the morning and the cafe was the only place open. I knew he needed
battery fluid by what he said, and told him he could get help at the gas
station. He said he was in a trailer which was run by batteries. He seemed
quite distressed waiting for the station to open since he had a schedule
to meet.
-
- He said he was coming from Mexico and was on his way
to work on Mount Shasta, not in the town, where he had work to do. He wanted
to know if US newspapers reported on the giant vegetables being raised
in the mountains of Mexico. His people had been helping these isolated
people by teaching them how to grow things. His people had tried to help
the other nations as well, but no-one would have anything to do with them.
He said the governments of the world did not want to talk to them and they
were totally disregarded. He talked about how bad off the world was. This
conversation began to take on a surreal amount of information which made
me wonder who he was. We were all mesmerized by his stories. The only people
in the cafe were us four women, all over 30 years old who REALLY wanted
to hear what he had to say. We were all eager to just listen to him. He
was of medium height, muscular and had snow white hair, even though his
face seemed ageless. He looked Swedish, but his English was good, but he
did not know that electrolytes were needed for batteries. He did say he
had important work on Mount Shasta and had to be there on time to get it
done. He was so white, and he had an expression of peace and a quiet, and
a steady voice like an angel which was like music to the ears. Thanks to

- WISCONSIN HUGE DISC WITH LIGHTS
-
- LYNDON STATION -- On April 6, 2002, Kim W. reports, "My
son came home about 10:30 PM and said there were strange lights in the
sky." My wife and I went out to look. The object consisted of about
eight large white lights formed in a large circle. The entire circle was
rotating clockwise slowly. There was a 300 feet cloud ceiling. Whatever
this was appeared to be just above the clouds. The clouds gave the lights
an opaque effect and it seemed to throw light off in one part of its rotation,
kind of like a water sprinkler throws water, but just in one spot. When
holding my hand up in front of me, it would have taken 6 hands to cover
it. Quite large! It was in the east of our location. It was stationary
for maybe 10 minutes, then began a slight movement to the southwest and
disappeared in the blink of an eye. Thanks to Kim W. and John Hoppe, Director@ufowisconsin.com
UFOWisconsin ILLINOIS ASTRONOMER SEES CLIMBING FIREBALLS
-
- LAKE FOREST -- An astronomer states, "This is the
third time I have witnessed Fluorescent white-green fireballs. The first
time myself and another person and I saw it at the same location on March
14, 2002, at 8:45 PM. The second was just myself and my brother and wife
and children at a different location. And the third time myself. They always
come from the same spot in the northwest part of the sky. We have seen
a 'fireball' shoot down from the sky that was extremely fluorescent bright
white with a greenish glow to it. This left no trace or trails. On the
second observation the object DID 'shoot' back up in the same section of
the sky approximately one hour later. No sounds, nothing out of the ordinary
afterwards. This was NOT a fireball. The time and date given for this event
is my THIRD viewing. The times for the other events were all around 10
to 12 PM CST and each viewing was separated by a period of years.

- TEXAS DISC-SHAPED HUBCAP UFO SPOTTED
-
- ALLEN -- On Wednesday, March 27, 2002, "Huckleberry"
M. was at home in Allen, Texas when a UFO approached from the north. "A
hubcap-like thing flew over and landed in a field," Huck reported.
"At the time we were going fishing. We walked on past a tree to see
the hubcap hover about 10 feet (3 meters) off the ground and then it zipped
off to the west." "It was silver and round at the top like a
hubcap that is, it had a dome-shaped protuberance on top. Around the side
were little circular lights. The round top looked like it could pop up
like a door. It had no landing gear. Height was about five yards (15 feet)
off the ground. Length was about 10 feet (3 meters) and the speed was going
as fast as you can see. When it zipped off, it looked like a line shooting
across the sky." Allen, Tex. is on Highway 5 about 20 miles north
of Dallas. Thanks to UFO Roundup Vol. 7, #14, 4/2/02 Editor, Joseph Trainor

- ARIZONA FIVE OBJECTS SEEN
-
- GLOBE -- GC writes, "My husband and I live approximately
85 miles east of Phoenix, at 3,500 feet elevation, with mountains between
us and the city." Last night while on our deck, looking to the west,
we saw what at first we thought was the beginning of a jet's contrail.
It was small, about an inch long from our perspective. Next we noticed
how bright it was and that it's southern trajectory wasn't moving very
fast. We continued to watch, then thinking perhaps it was a comet, when
two larger ones (about 4 inches long) appeared moving to the north! We
ran to get the binoculars and then saw there were two larger ones moving
behind the smaller one. This made a total of five with two heading north
and three heading south. The small one changed course and began moving
north, when one of them simply blinked out. Then the remaining two heading
south faded out. This left one large one and the original small one now
heading north. We continued watching until they disappeared behind our
mountain range. My husband reports that while I ran for the binoculars,
one of the objects went from the north to the south at a high rate of speed,
disappeared (not behind a cloud), reappeared, and then disappeared again
for good. One of the objects had a much bigger tail streaming behind it,
and it looked just like a meteor that passed through the upper atmosphere
and then continued on its way, only this object was much closer to the
ground. These objects looked more like streaks of bright light. Thanks

- NEVADA FLYING TRIANGLE
-
- LAS VEGAS -- The two witnesses were lying by the pool
outside our hotel on Tuesday, April 2, 2002, when we noticed what appeared
to be a triangular object in the northeast that at first we thought was
a plane. We noticed there was no contrail. I continued watching it until
it was almost directly overhead. It was making quick little darting moves
back and forth randomly so my husband thought maybe it was a piece of paper
flying around, at first. Then this object took off due north at a high
rate of speed and disappeared in the distance. We are and have been believers
of UFOs for years. I personally saw a fleet of them back in the '60's north
of Apple Valley. We reported it to George Air Force Base, which was near
the area, but of course they just ignored it. Thanks for the info on the
MUFON Journal. I'm going to order it now and will tell them you recommended
us for membership and field investigator training. We travel a great deal
and would enjoy this type of investigating. Thanks to CG

- CALIFORNIA CAMERAS CAPTURE UFOs
-
- GILROY -- An object was caught on a still image taken
by a camera on March 12, 2002, on the top of a mountain near San Jose.
This camera is on a roof top facing west and takes a picture every 4 minutes.
The object was captured in two frames, at 3:16 AM, and 3:20 AM. In the
first picture the thin flat object was located at the top of the frame
with the left side out of the image and the right side about 30 degrees
lower. The object seems almost transparent except for five blueish lights.
Using windows paint program I put a grid over the picture and the space
between the lights is 16-20 pixels indicating it may not be round. The
object is located in the left about 1/4 the way down between the mountains
and the city with the definition reduced due to distance and possibly movement.
-
- BURNEY -- In a clear night sky, one object was seen on
March 12, 2002, the object moved fast, up, down, and sideways. The object
changed colors while moving at 11:50 PM. Colors seen were a very bright,
white, blue, green and pink. The object appeared to have two tops which
moved separately. The object became smaller as it flew away and disappeared.
-
- WEST HOLLYWOOD/BEVERLY HILLS -- We video taped the whole
sighting with a news camera on March 5, 2002. The first UFO at 3:00 PM,
was a white orb that moved very slow and rotated. I taped it for about
ten minutes and another orb entered the atmosphere at a very fast rate
of speed and then disappeared, but I didn't get that on tape. The final
UFO was moving very fast across the sky. It was silver and appeared to
change shapes. It finally made a 90-degree turn down and disappeared. This
was amazing. The camera was purchased in Germany, it is PAL / secam system.
-
- BAKERSFIELD -- On March 29, 2002, two witnesses reported
seeing a Flying Triangle at 9:30 PM, with three bright lights on front.
The witness reports, "My girlfriend and I were traveling south on
I-5 about one hour north of Bakersfield. I was in the passenger seat and
noticed what appeared to be a plane coming towards us on the east side
of the freeway. As it came closer it made a sharp turn north flying very
low lighting up the ground beneath it. When it became very visible, it
was shaped similar to a Flying Triangle but it didn't appear tall enough
for a human to be in side. It then would pull up at about 80 degree angle
wobbling a little as if slightly out of control, and made a slow very sharp
U-turn heading down and along the ground repeating the same thing over
and over again until we lost sight of it. Just as we were losing site a
police car went speeding in the direction of the object.
-
- OREGON FLYING TRIANGLE SPOTTED
-
- SALEM -- Three witnesses were traveling on Kuebler Road
on March 29, 2002, at 7:20 PM when they noticed bright headlights in the
distance that did not appear to be moving. The witness states, "My
girlfriend myself and a friend started watching this craft. When we got
to Sunnyview, it was right there not moving, but sitting in the air quietly.
The craft was a triangular shape, but the front was kind of cut off, so
it would not really complete a triangle form. It had really bright lights
at each corner. About a quarter of a mile up the road it turned left on
Walker Road, when we approached to the other side of the field, it took
off never accelerating just one instant speed. The back was a little different.
At each end of the craft it had bright lights. Along the sides of the craft
it had a light that had a different rhythm to it. It blinked different
from anything I have seen. Since it was bright I could see a dome like
shape stick out. If it were to sit on the ground it would rock or teeter.
The lights never pointed at the ground like a helicopter's spotlights.
The lights were like straight ahead. However, it was so bright that it
lit the ground beneath it. You could see the grass greens in it.

- WASHINGTON SIGHTINGS PICK UP
-
- MT. HOOD -- Jackie Burns writes that in summer 1999,
I was visiting Satva Institute. The people who own the institute are very
nice people who say that UFOs are a common experience. I was skeptical
but I went out with my boyfriend when darkness fell to see what all the
talk was about. I was very, very surprised to see unusual happenings in
the sky that night. What I saw was what at first appeared to be a satellite
except that it split from one piece into three pieces. It was moving in
an odd fashion when I noticed it and then it divided into three equally
sized units. I also saw other maneuvers that satellites do not make. Not
exact "right angles" but angles that are strange. After the object
split into three units of equal size they traveled for about 30 seconds
one in front of the other and then they merged into one object again. They
were the size of a satellite. This was the most impressive anomaly in the
sky that night however there were others. I would say we viewed eight or
ten separate unusual objects of similar size going in odd directions, then
making angles, and then disappearing entirely. I cannot explain it except
to say that this was not ordinary at all, it was quite thrilling to see,
and I was amazed. Thanks to jackie_burns_2000@yahoo.com

- SPOKANE -- Brian Vike says his witness reports observing
a variety of bright nocturnal lights on a regular basis since February
2, 2002, near Palouse. The witness is taking photographs through a 200
x Meade telescope and a 35 mm Canon AE-1, but most of the photos are simply
blobs of light. In some shots at shorter shutter speeds, the lights take
on a discernible "saucer" shape. On the evening of February 4,
he observed a large "sparkling" light hanging over the Palouse.
He says, "I noticed a large jet aircraft fly over my house, and then
fly a circular pattern under the light and thinking those pilots must have
seen that light!" Two nights later on a stormy night at 9:30 PM the
wind and rain lit up, a large light "popped up" and a jet aircraft
dove from above and flew directly at it. The light began a rapid movement
to the north, with the aircraft following! Since that time, I have observed
a variety of jet aircraft patrolling the skies flying patterns for hours
on a nightly basis. When the "lights" began appearing I contacted
local law enforcement, the local civilian and military airfields, the local
newspaper, and UFO investigators. On March 27, 2002, the witness saw a
bright fluorescent creme color light pop up at 8:45 PM that shimmers blues,
greens, and reds. I observed the light for three minutes before it moved
in what I have come to believe is a very deliberate track or pattern, which
is repeated in almost all "sightings." Thanks to Brian Vike

- CANADA SIGHTINGS CONTINUE IN
-
- TORONTO -- Cindy writes, there seems to be more activity
up here in Mississauga, just west of Toronto, than I've been aware of in
the past. My son and I saw something strange about three weeks ago now.
Last night, I struck up a conversation with a couple of ladies in a restaurant.
Anyway, they told me that on Saturday night (April 6), they both witnessed
an object shoot down from the sky. She said, it was red and after it landed,
she saw smoke. She tried to tell her husband about it, but he discounted
her. From her description, it sounded like a meteor hit not far from her
home.
-
- TELKWA MOUNTAINS, BRITISH COLUMBIA - - Brian Vike writes,
I just saw the tape of a UFO over the mountains. My first impression was
WOW! It looked exactly like a comet but with a short flaming tail. It was
huge! The object was heading towards the Telkwa Mountains range at a high
altitude. The front of this object looked like the front of a bullet but
was very large. The flames were massive and fanned out into a V shape which
followed close behind. Actually it reminded me of the space shuttle with
flames coming out. It was very slow moving because the witness went inside
to grab her camera and she still caught this object on tape for sometime
afterwards. I must say I am impressed by this and right now have no idea
what this was. This was "not" space debris.
-
- SMITHERS -- The witness came out of the Hollywood Video
store at 10:00 P.M. got into his car and starting driving down the road,
when something caught his eye. He could see the object rather well and
pulled over to watch on February 1, 2002. He saw it fly over the town for
five minutes descending like a para-glider with "one" bright
white light that would go bright or dim. The witness mentioned that para-gliders
often flew off Hudson Bay Mountain but no one flies at night since it is
too dangerous. The object would have been about the size of a para-glider
if you were standing next to it, but the object was flying at about 1500
feet so it was probably much larger. It slowly made turns over the town
of Smithers in the overcast weather. The witness did not know who or where
to report this, until he read the UFO article in the newspaper. Investigators
Note: There is more than normal air traffic around our area after these
sightings indicating government interest. This is also confirmation to
the February 1, 2002, sighting in which three ladies witnessed a large
boomerang shaped object 3 kilometers east of Telkwa.
-
- SOUTHBANK, B.C. -- Midsummer two years ago, I saw a red
light that kept moving back and forth at about 10:45 PM. A week later,
I observed the same thing and my first instinct was that it was mapping
something. That winter, my husband and I both saw three white and possibly
red lights that were on the same machine. These lights were moving over
the east side of Mollice Lake. This light continued back and forth at a
fairly good clip and was stopping and turning faster than anything that
Canada has. I pointed directly at it, and it took off incredibly fast over
Stick Hill. A month and a half ago my husband and I took a night walk and
while laying on the snow we saw six lights with quite a bit of distance
between them moving in a V pattern. Thanks to Brian Vike. GERMANY LIGHTS

-
- BAVARIA -- On April 6, 2002, strange lights in the sky
baffled Bavarians late on April 6, 2002, as hundreds of panicked callers
jammed police telephone lines seeking an explanation. Reports of an unsettling
late-night natural light show came from all over the Southern German state.
"It was like a huge fireworks." Pilots flying into Munich airport
radioed the control tower with reports of unusual lights in the sky. Ufologist
Joachim Koch reports the strange lights were a large bolide meteor, which
exploded in the atmosphere. A piece of debris, which was still luminous
when it came down, fell into the garden of a Bavarian farmer, who turned
it over to the police. As told by Koch, "Preliminary analysis suggests
it to be a piece of a meteorite." Thanks to The Electric Warrior :http://www.electricwarrior.com

- AUSTRALIA - CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH 'SILVERY PEOPLE
-
- ABC News / March 24, 2002, reports, "The Northern
Territory's Wycliffe Well Roadhouse may be famous for its UFO sightings
in the sky, but it seems there has now been a ground encounter." Lou
Farcus has been a resident at Wycliffe Well for the last 17 years and says
workers on the Alice Springs to Darwin railway at a site west of the roadhouse
have also seen unusual lights in the sky. Mr. Farcus says several weeks
ago an Aboriginal woman had a close encounter. "Her knowledge of the
area gave her the instinct it wasn't anything to do with the army or the
railway so she turned round to go back and have a look at it and saw this
triangular sort of object in the paddock and all of a sudden she saw these
silvery character looking people who started coming towards the vehicle,
so she quickly turned around and took off," Mr. Farcus said. Thanks

- KANGAROO POINT CLIFFS --I am a subscriber and regular
reader of Filer's Files and have noticed that there seems to be an increasing
amount of reports about "Flying Triangles." On February 9, 2002,
I was being dropped home by some adamantly non-UFO-believing friends and
we had stopped outside my home on the Kangaroo Point Cliffs. While we were
saying our good-byes Julie, who was in the back seat, pointed up through
the windscreen and said "look at that triangle -- it's wobbling"
-- as though the wobbling was the only thing out of the ordinary. I looked
up immediately and saw a colorless equilateral triangle at about 5,000
feet altitude and was about 2 cm in size on each side. It remained stationary
for a couple of seconds while wobbling, then sped off to the west at a
very high speed and vanished. This is the third mysterious aircraft I have
seen since December. Randal.Foley@citec.com.au farshores@canada.com
