- JAPAN SPACEGUARD ASSOCIATION OBSERVES UFO IN STATIONARY
ORBIT
-
- Asahi Newspaper reports, "Mr. Isobe, the director
of the Japan Spaceguard Association, announced on April 4th, that the scientists
of Bisei Spaceguard Center found a large unidentified object in stationary
orbit 36,000 kilometers or 22,400 miles above the equator. The object was
first observed on December 24, 2001, and is about 50 meters or 164 feet
in diameter. Its trajectory is controlled, so it is a possible artifact.
It is seen like a ninth-magnitude star, and may be a US intelligence satellite.
The Spaceguard official said that the object is still unknown. There are
also artificial space objects over Europe that are 10 meters in diameter.

- PENNSYLVANIA STAR BLINKS OFF
-
- BEAVER FALLS -- The witness arrived home on April 1,
2002, after spending the Easter weekend with his parents and spotted a
star like object 55 degrees above the horizon at 7:45 PM. The witness says,
"Out of ALL those stars, I looked right at the one star that suddenly
turned off! It was just like a light bulb going out, it was weird. There
were other stars around this one, but it was the brightest star in that
small cluster. What are the odds of that? There's a small airport nearby,
but I heard NO engines. This light DIDN'T move and it seemed to be in space.
Two seconds of observation isn't long enough to get detail. Peter Davenport
suggest this could have been the flash of an Iridium satellite, or a tumbling
rocket booster. Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC Director, http://www.ufocenter.com

- NORTH CAROLINA FLYING TRIANGLE SIGHTING
-
- CORNELIUS --The witness reports, "I was laying in
my hammock on April 2, 2002, and staring up at the sky at 8:55 PM, and
I saw two triangles a light amber brown in color flying almost directly
over head. They looked about the average size of an airplane but seemed
to fly much lower. There was no sound and no lights on the objects. I knew
it was nothing I have ever seen before. The sighting lasted a few seconds
with several planes flying south and west in the same direction as the
triangles about 5 to 10 seconds behind. Thanks to NUFORC http://www.ufocenter.com.

- GEORGIA BRILLIANT FLASH
-
- MCDONOUGH - MUFONGA State Director Tom Sheets contacted
the witness who had taken his wife to work on April 16, 2002. Around 7:15
AM, 20 miles SE of Atlanta, the witness noticed a very high thin white
contrail which covered about 80 degrees in the clear sky and was being
deployed to the east toward the rising sun. As he watched, a bright 'flare-up'
began at the head of the contrail. This 'flare-up' was like a VERY bright
star, about the size of a BB at arm's length, silver to reddish as it seemed
to glow or burn and continued moving eastward. Duration was about 1-2 minutes,
when it suddenly just disappeared. The contrail seemed to dissolve very
quickly. No sound was heard. Nothing solid was observed until the 'flare-up'
began. Some possible explanations are a substantially bright meteor burn
or returning space junk. While it could have been an aircraft giving off
a dramatic reflection of sunlight, the length of the actual 'flare-up'
or glow might rule this out. The annual Lyrids meteor shower normally begins
about 19 April and ends about 23 April. Similar reports have also been
received in Georgia during the return of the space shuttle but most likely
explanation is an extreme reflection off of a very high flying aircraft".

- FLORIDA SWIFTLY MOVING LIGHTS
-
- JACKSONVILLE -- The witness was trying to locate Mars
in order to find the comet Ikeya-Zhang on March 31, 2002, but a cluster
of swiftly moving lights caught his attention. The lights numbered five
or six and the intensity of their luminosity was no greater than the fainter
visible stars that night. They moved north at a high unchanging rate of
speed in a roughly straight line. They didn't strobe but there were too
many and the configuration was unusual. The lights reorganized into a rough
arc very quickly and the trailing lights increased speed slightly and took
positions on the east side of the arc as the others spread out to the west.
The pattern was very tight which lead me to discount military aircraft
in formation. The lights remained in the arc formation and at roughly the
same altitude. I would be content to dismiss this formation as satellites
but for two factors: Their high rate of speed and the ability to reconfigure
their positions simultaneously. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director of NUFORC

- INDIANA WITNESS PHOTOGRAPHS UFO
-
- DUNLAP - Brian Vike reports the witness was driving southwest
on US 33, February 12, 2002, past the Concord Mall south of Elkhart Indiana
at 7:00 PM. He states, "I spotted a greenish light out of my drivers
side wing mirror. I saw no other cars and thought this was a train coming
out of the Robert Young Rail Yards and heading south towards Goshen."
It became apparent that this object was traveling much faster than a train
and had crossed the tracks and was approaching the road. I pulled out my
camera and snapped two pictures as it crossed over my explorer, headed
towards the mall, banking and rose out of sight. These two pictures were
taken as fast I as could work the button. My camera was a clever-cam digital
camera and I was shooting out of the front window of a Ford Explorer. The
object traveled south and passed over me from the left rear to the right
front. It was low but climbing fast. I would estimate it's height when
it passed over me as about 100 feet high. I heard no noise but had a sense
of immense power moving at 400 mph. The object was dark, but seemed to
be delta shaped 15 to 20 feet long. See website and photo frame 333. Thanks

came home about 8:15 PM and my Mom told me that my dad spotted something
weird in the sky on April 13, 2002. I ran outside and saw this light moving
across the sky from NE to SW. It was much larger than the stars that were
out. It moved across the sky until it fizzled out just before the tree

- MERRICK --Jerry & Debbie C report that my wife and
son (he's 12) were getting home late on April 12, 2002, around 8:30 PM
from shopping. My other son (he is 9) and I were worried. They just pulled
in the driveway and were yelling "look at that," nervously, "it
was following us." They where scared. This was no plane or helicopter.
It was bright yellow and just above the trees moving very slowly and hovering.
It looked like a star but off color yellow. My son ran to get the camcorder
but with the lighting in town we couldn't adjust it or see it in the view
finder. We all agreed that it was a UFO. It vibrated, pulsed, with little
side to side movements. Very weird, scary, We see a lot of weird lights
around here. This is where professional equipment would capture awesome
video or pictures. Thanks to John Hoppe, Director@ufowisconsin.comhttp://www.ufowisconsin.com/county/reports/r2002_0408

- COLORADO VIDEO OF CYLINDER PROBABLY THE BEST EVER
-
- SALIDA -- Tim Edward's reports his six year old daughter
Brandy saw the object and was persistent in telling Dad there was huge
cigar shaped UFO darting, and dancing around just to the west and north
of the corona of the sun. During the August 27, 1995, sighting the object
was easily seen with the naked eye so Tim grabbed his video camera and
started filming the cigar or tubular shaped object. The UFO had a very
intense glimmering white light that surrounded the craft in a very light
gray mist as viewed against the crystal blue sky. The craft appeared to
be at least 2 to 3 times higher than a jet that passed underneath flying
east moments before Tim started taping. Massive-Laboratories estimates
the craft was a least 700 feet to a half-mile long. Tim personally felt
the craft was close to a mile long. The craft made movements-up to 30 degrees
and came to a complete stop almost instantaneously. The craft appeared
to walk or step across the sky as in a fast frame advance or projection
of itself to the next image.
-
- Tim looked through his binoculars and stated. "It
had the appearance of being in its own space, it was like looking through
fog or mist and looking into another world, very surreal. The craft had
a double row of rectangular windows with sequential and revolving very
pale red and green lights. The craft somewhat had the appearance of translucency,"
Twice during sighting duration an inner sphere surrounded by a Saturn like
tubular ring was observed. The sighting took one hour and 15 minutes from
9:25 to 10:40 AM. There was no noise but there was the sensation of a dull
electrical charge in the air that was extremely spiritual. We can speculate
the craft was aware of our presence. There were over 30 people in Colorado
who observed the craft that weekend. Tim concluded this technology way
in the future with very advanced types of propulsion and travel-dimensional,
time etc. My belief is that we are looking at the side of a wheel in a
lot of the cigar UFO sightings. Virtually the same craft can be seen at
the Monterey Mexico stills at http://www.qtm.net/~geibdan/framemst.html..
Click on the picture to the left entitled Edward's. Tim filmed the craft
for 6 and half minutes and has put together eighty minutes of video coverage
of numerous TV shows and newscasts of the event. The video also includes
Triangular UFO footage over Salida on September 10, 2001, and a tour of
ET's Landing Restaurant. Send $24.95 check or money order to Tim Edward's,

- ARIZONA DAYLIGHT FILMING OF UFO
-
- PHOENIX -- Victoria Liljenquist reports, "It was
so exciting to have the UFO fly over my neighborhood during the day at
3:30 p.m. on March 18, 2002. Transmissions indicate that there will be
more sightings for all of us to experience. As I was out feeding the birds,
suddenly I looked up and saw the craft traveling over the top of the houses.
It was about a block away from my house, at approximately 1500 feet. Traveling
south from Camelback Road toward Indian School Road. I was able to film
it for about 2 minutes. Just before it disappeared, an airplane from Sky
Harbor which had just taken off and was gradually ascending, actually flew
right past it. I am sure the pilot saw it. She says, "I also filmed
a Cigar-Shaped Craft which was studied at Village Labs and proved identical
to the Cigar-Shaped Craft of Tim Edward's. I believe Tim's appeared in
July 1996, and mine in October 1996. The Brotherhood of Light (which I
call them) will indicate to me where/what time, they shall arrive."
Victoria Liljenquist also says, "She predicted UFOs over the Winter
Olympic games and several witnesses reported seeing an UFO at that time."
My film, documentation has been studied by experts, including Village Labs
in Phoenix, she said. Victoria has appeared on National TV and International/National
Radio shows: Thanks to Victoria Liljenquist www.victoriaslight.com

- PHOENIX -- Myself, staff, and guests were out on the
patio of an upscale North Scottsdale Resort when we saw objects hovering
in lower Southwest Phoenix, near Squaw Peak on March 20, 2002. These objects
were very bright, and would flicker like a candle from very bright to going
completely out at 7:35 PM. The objects would once again appear in another
area, in a different pattern. First, there were four objects lined up and
evenly spaced in a horizontal pattern. Later, three objects were in a triangle
pattern. We have seen these lights for the past couple of weeks. There
are at least two, but sometimes more. They seem amber in color, and once
they light up, they do not move until they fade out and then they reappear.
They are VERY bright in contrast to the air traffic. Thanks to Peter Davenport

- CALIFORNIA FLYING DIAMOND
-
- FARMERSVILLE -- The witnesses went outside at 6:45 PM,
to stargaze when they observed a bright light traveling northeast on March
29, 2002. The light was about 30 degrees above the horizon and traveling
very fast. The light faded in and out similar to an Iridium satellite,
but much faster and not as high in elevation. Also, we have never seen
an Iridium traveling in this direction. When the light faded, there were
no marker lights visible. It was very dim when it faded. I had printed
out a list of satellites from the Heavens Above website and looked on the
list for satellites of a similar brightness, time and direction. The brightness
was matched for ISS, but it was in the south. The next would have been
the Shenzhou III, but we saw it several minutes later; the altitude was
much higher (59 degrees) compared to the earlier light. The light appeared
to be at an elevation similar to a jet, but did not make any sound. We
are familiar with the local air traffic, satellites and meteors; this did
not appear to be any of those. Weather was clear, temperature 70 degrees
and no breeze.
-
- OAKLAND - On Saturday, April 20, 2002, at about 7:00
PM the witness was sitting on his balcony and the sun had already begun
to set, and the sky was still blue with intervals of passing clouds. The
witness says, "I was looking out towards the north east when my eye
caught a silver object just sitting high up in the sky." I ran inside
to grab my binoculars. I was looking at this object and my hands began
shaking and my heart was pounding, unsure of just what I was actually looking
at. I looked at this blurred kind of egg shaped object and I could see
the sunlight bouncing off it. Just then a commercial aircraft passed through
the foreground of my binocular lens, and I could tell the object was considerably
higher and distant compared to the plane. I looked for about 2 minutes
before a section of clouds rolled in obscuring my view and I never saw
it again. There was no unconventional flying methods displayed. Over the
past three years, I have seen hundreds of planes from my balcony and this
was not at all recognizable as a plane. This object was literally suspended
in one spot, and much higher in altitude than any of the planes I witness.

- CANADA -- DID ET PHONE ALBERTA?
-
- Hutterite Colony -- The Calgary Suns reports George Hoofer
returned to his home in Southeast Alberta with a strange tale of a funnel
of fire in a farmer's field. The funnel lit up the night for an hour, then
faded into sparkles. A month later, farmer Ken Masson found a three-meter-wide
circle in his field, with four indentations inside. Word spread quickly
that an alien spacecraft had landed. This week, a University of Lethbridge
geologist refuted the UFO theory, but replaced it with an explanation nearly
as interesting. Pano Karkanis said the crater in Masson's field near Etzikom,
250 km southeast of Calgary, was caused by a meteorite. Karkanis analyzed
the soil in the crater and tested it for radioactivity. He found no signs
of radioactive material that might suggest exposure to extraterrestrial
technology, nor did he find anything else indicating a spacecraft had landed.
He dismissed the indentations as marks made by rainfall, saying the meteorite
probably buried itself a meter deep in Masson's field. But Karkanis' findings
drew criticism. Masson himself didn't buy the rainwater explanation, pointing
out the area had been dry as a bone, with farmers such as himself lamenting
the absence of rainfall. Others have said a meteorite wouldn't produce
the effect Hofer saw, and that it would have left residue in the crater.
Also, the crater's perfectly circular shape is not likely the result of
a meteorite impact. Thanks to: CNEWS Space Canoe Internet, http://www.canoe.ca/CNEWSpace0106)

- COURTNEY/COMOX VALLEY, BRITISH COLUMBIA - Investigator
Brian Vike reports a lady has contacted him about on going events. This
all started many years ago when this lady was a youngster and her Mother
watched an object hovering over their field and found a large circle burnt
into the crop. From that day on she claims to have seen UFOs and she now
is 48 years old with a family of her own, and still has "contact."
She has awakened with bruises and different kinds of markings on her body
and her son who is now 28 years old, has the same type of markings. Many
times they have taken their son to the doctor's only to come away with
no answers for the condition his body is in, but it always seems to heel
up. She has seen visitors that completely scare her and she keeps her blinds
closed completely as night falls. No one knows about what has been taking
place other than her family members.

- CUBA HAS NUMEROUS UFOs
-
- Mike Bird reports, "I've just returned from a week
in Cuba. It was a vacation week with my wife, but on Thursday, I made the
3 hour bus ride into Havana, to meet with 5 Cuban UFO Researchers, the
oldest of which was a 70 year old retired physics professor, who had his
own sighting in 1954. The youngest maybe 30. They have never been in contact
with a North American researchers. They gave me a 300 page book, entitled
"Signos," and in Spanish about the rich history of UFO activity
in Cuba. I watched a 45 minute video entitled "Ovni's in Cuba,"

- ITALIAN UFO NEWS-FLASH NEW "FLAP" OVER THE
ALPS
-
- The Italian Center for UFO Studies #351 News-flash reports
that at 10:20 PM on April 6, a luminous body reddish in color, followed
by a green-bluish trail, was observed and in some cases photographed, for
a few seconds by very many people in Northeast Italy, Czechoslovakia, Germany
and the Netherlands. Pilots in flight also reported the presence of the
strange luminous phenomenon. Later on the same night, there were reported
two other similar albeit less sensational phenomena: over Belgium, Netherlands,
and the United Kingdom. These sightings appear to from a bolide, a spectacular
meteorite.
-
- Italy has 100 sightings in three months. There are 44
cases gathered for March (following the 16 for February and the 41 of January).
Half of the month's reports resulted from the passage of a bolide on March
19th. There were 13 daytime sightings, 5 close encounters, 1 case involving
humanoids, 2 photos and 2 films, and 5 cases involving effects on the physical
surroundings. Thanks to CISU. Giorgio Abraini and Sebastiano Ridolfi,.

very low. They seemed very smooth but there was no sound at all. At this
point I called my husband, and a third light appeared. Then the first two
appeared to slow so the third one could catch up so it seemed. They seemed
to fly in formation. My husband went inside and got the video camera and
proceeded to film as he turned south. One light went out, the second fell
and the last one just faded out. A police spokesman said two bright discs
were seen hovering over Clontarf - later moving on to Beachmere on March

- HONG KONG PROFESSOR WANTS UFOLOGY DEGREE AWARDED
-
- Joseph Whan is manager of a laboratory at the Hong Kong
City University. He checks the structural performance of buildings, but
his real interest is in UFOs. He says, "If something flies over there
is a good reason to study what they are doing." He and many members
of his UFO Club regularly meet to study UFOs. They meet at the UFO Station
cafe where there is a library and regular discussions. Professor Albert
Sow (sp) desires to have a Ufology degree awarded at the university level
for major knowledge of the UFO phenomena. He explained, "The Chinese
culture and the East is more open to easily believe in something supernatural.
He showed drawings and documents that claimed a Chinese emperor met a flying
boat shaped UFO a thousand years ago. Thanks to Bill Hamilton. See the

- CAPE CANAVERAL NEW IMAX SPACE STATION ALPHA TOUR
-
- KENNEDY SPACE CENTER -- Yesterday, my wife and I visited
the new Space Station now being built. Tom Cruise narrated the new IMAX
in 3-D show that makes you feel like you are in space and captures the
everyday life of astronauts as they work, swim, eat, and sleep in microgravity.
We enjoyed the new show that even has an alien in it. The alien is a plastic
representation of a gray being floating inside the Space Station. I was
surprised to see how large and developed the station is and the camaraderie
between Russian and US astronauts. There were virtually no night shots
and no anomalies in space, although they showed a clear shot of ice. The
3-D effect was interesting, and many shots brought the astronauts or part
of the craft right up to you, so you felt you could reach out and touch
it. One astronaut threw an orange right at the audience, that seemed to
bounce off my shoulder. Frankly, I like the standard IMAX presentations
best, since nothing seemed very clear to me. We also took the grand tour
of Cape Kennedy, which is well worth seeing. The flights of Apollo to the
moon were spectacular, but there was almost no photos or video of the moon.
I touched a moon rock, talked to an astronaut, but I wonder why close ups
of the moon were shown on 20 inch TV screens. That part was very disappointing,
I wanted to see the moon on a big screen.
-
- What surprised me was the gigantic size of the NASA complex
and buildings, but even more amazing off to the north you could view the
Air Force facilities that are even larger. The size of the facilities makes
me wonder what advanced systems are being developed? The Air Force recently
announced they plan on building a maneuverable space plane. General Ed
Eberhart, head of US Space Command says, "The military is looking
into building a spacecraft that could drop bombs from space, fix orbiting
satellites and give better pictures of the battlefield. The Pentagon has
military satellites that provide navigation, communication, weather, reconnaissance
and missile warning information, all considered key to US interests, but
none of them has weapons. Back during the Eisenhower Administration the
X-15 flew into lower space some fifty miles high. It seems reasonable to
assume we have something flying in space now. I should also mention the
B-52 Bomber first flew fifty years ago this month.

- ASTROBIOLOGY, THE ORIGIN OF LIFE AND THE DEATH OF DARWINISM
-
- Bill Hamilton writes that we should read Joseph Rhawn's
book, "Astrobiology, the Origin of Life and the Death of Darwinism.
His thesis in this new book should become the new paradigm, the prepackaged
programmed DNA from cosmic ancestors. It explains why humanoids are common
in the universe as well as other forms of life. Like Fred Hoyle, the father
of modern panspermic theory, there is every indication that we live in
a designer universe, an intelligent universe and that this is far more
encompassing in its explanatory power than blind watchmaker, random event
theories (or even quantum fluctuations). Thanks to Bill Hamilton and "karen
