- ATLANTIC OCEAN -- I was out about 45 miles to sea in
the Atlantic. Weather was calm and I was looking forward to a day of fishing.
At about 3:00 PM in the afternoon on August 23, 2001, a reflection off
a metallic cylinder caught my eye. The cylinder was hovering about 1000
feet over the surface and the direct spot that it was hovering over was
about 1500 feet away from my boat. During the encounter, which lasted
only about 45 seconds, the object disturbed my compass and my GPS. The
screen on my GPS said cannot locate signal. Small bait fish became excited
and swam to the surface. The craft emitted no light but a pulsing, electrical
sound came from the craft. The craft had two sections that counter-rotated
around each other. I left to go see if I had a camera down below, and when
I returned, the craft had flown away. The fish subsided, the compass returned
to its bearings, and my GPS picked up the signal. Case1-937. Thanks to

- OLDBRIDGE -- A Fireman reports he was listening to the
radio scanners and heard a call for all police units in the area to provide
information on a suspicious aircraft flying low on June 1, 2002, directly
to the west at about a 75 degrees. At 5:38 PM, EMS units reported the
same information from dispatcher in back of my Glenwood apartments. They
described the strange object with a semi transparent oval shape around
it moving from 0 to about 700 mph in about 10 seconds and a distance of
over 80 miles. Being a member of the fire company, I have a direct view
clear free of any obstructions in the sky. The fireman witness reports
he saw the weird shaped object with this semi transparent oval shape sphere
or something around the outside. It was holding steady then suddenly moving
at a high rate of speed to the southwest at 230 degrees according to the
compass. The witness reports, "It was seen to the west then moved
southwest. It must have traveled easily over 700 mph. There is no way
an aircraft can go from 0 to that speed and distance in that amount of
time which was about 10 seconds total. I don't have pictures to prove
this but I'm sure someone around the township has because there was a small
article in the Sayreville, Oldbridge suburban newspaper. There were ten
to twenty witnesses who watched the object for at least ten minutes. Thanks

- PENNSYLVANIA LIGHTS
-
- PHILADELPHIA -- The witness reports seeing two objects
(round and blue in color) in a cloudless sky. At first sight I thought
they were stars, but because it was 4:30 PM, in the afternoon and they
were moving across the sky, they couldn't be stars. As I informed the
other witness to come look at what I was seeing and pointing out the one
object that remained in view, I lost the other behind trees a third object,
much lower came streaking by. This was a blue ball of light with a halo
around it and didn't make any sound. The objects didn't waiver, they just
traveled straight, heading east, out to sea. A couple of minutes later,
a fourth object flew by, this one was the same as the third, but it was
a yellow color with a halo and traveled the same low path as the third
object. The most important part of the whole experience is that for the
next 45 minutes, I counted 7 high altitude jets (possibly military aircraft)
traveling in the same direction as the 4 objects. Thanks to Peter Davenport

- INDIANA ORANGE LIGHTS
-
- FRANKFORT, CLINTON COUNTY -- The two witnesses live in
rural North-Central Indiana and on May 29, 2002, at about 9:15 PM, the
boy with his girlfriend were looking at the stars. He states, "All
of a sudden something caught the corner of my eye so I stood up and saw
two bright orange lights that appeared to be very big in the sky."
Three seconds later the lights fade out. Another three seconds and three
lights appeared west of the first set, then they faded again. We ran inside
to tell her parents and we all came out and looked for about 15 minutes.
Then the same light caught my eye again and we stood up to see three orange
lights fade away. Then two seconds later *four* huge orange lights appeared
in a vertical line, and then the middle light fades out, then the rest
go out. I was very scared. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director NUFORC http://www.ufocenter

- OKLAHOMA LARGE LOW FLYING TRIANGLE
-
- CAMERON, LEFLORE COUNTY -- The witness reports, "We
were driving through Cameron on May 31, 2002, at about 11:00 PM, and I
saw slow, flashing lights reflected on the upper part of the windshield."
"I looked up through the windshield but didn't see anything and just
absently thought, well, that's a reflection, but realized that there was
nothing I'd seen that there could be a reflection from, so I looked upwards
through the windshield again, and was jolted by what I saw. It was a very
large, low flying object. The lights on the front of the object looked
like large windows." My companion had put his head outside the window
and asked if I was seeing what he was seeing. He was driving, and almost
ran off the road, so he told me to look through the rear window to see
if I could see it. I saw it seeming to follow the side of the highway,
then veered off, crossing the highway and was out of sight, over an area
of dense trees. My companion had seen the lights approaching us while driving,
but thought they were stationary. "I did not see them until the craft
was overhead." He was looking up underneath it, and saw the triangular
outline of very soft solid lights. The flashing lights were on top of
the object. I did not see the lights on top, or the triangular shape of
the object from the front view. It was a low, slow-moving object, and
despite its size, there was no sound coming from it whatsoever.

- TEXAS DAYLIGHT ORBS
-
- IRVING -- Four lights were reported maneuvering at high
in the sky and departing a high rate of speed moving from east to west
on May 31, 2002. One of the lights maneuvered erratically as they moved
across the sky at a high rate of speed at 11:00 PM. The formation steadied
and the lights disappeared to the north west. Because we are adjacent
to Dallas Fort Worth Airport we are accustomed to seeing aircraft at night.
These lights were not like any of the aircraft lights observed in the
past. My wife was the first to notice and called me outside to observe.
-
- SAN ANTONIO -- On June 1, 2002, the witness was tracking
a satellite from the SW to the NE when he noticed a faint light heading
south. This light was followed by 4 to 6 other lights not quite as bright
as the leader at 10:30 PM. The following lights were moving around each
other in no apparent pattern. One group of lights were flying south of
San Antonio. The first light continued in a straight line to the south
towards Mexico, as the others followed behind. The sighting lasted for
about five minutes.
-
- DALLAS -- On June 2, 2002. two friends were at Hurricane
Harbor a water park in Arlington Texas in an upper covered deck looking
out over the park sitting with the sun just barely occluded by the beam
at the edge of the roof. The witness states, "I was looking at the
water vapor rising up over the park on clear sunny day wearing fairly dark
sunglasses as did Charles." I was looking at the spot where the suns
corona was flaring out from behind the beam and saw a white orb fly at
a very rapid speed north at higher altitude than the jetliners in view.
It moved many times faster than the jets. I was sort of stunned but wasn't
sure what I saw. Then another object on a similar trajectory moved from
the apparent position of the sun north. At this point my friend asked
what was going on and I told him to tell me what he saw. In the next few
minutes we saw another four objects. One was on a curved trajectory angling
northwest. It was the size of a BB held at arm's length colored white
with a well defined shape. If we took off our sunglasses the glare in
the sky was such that it would have been impossible to see anything at
all. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director National Reporting Center http://

- STANISLAUS NATIONAL FOREST, TUOLUMNE COUNTY -- A 44 year
old male with a masters degree and an avid back yard astronomer and Ufologist
for over 15 years reports seeing a formation of lights in the night sky
forming the shape of a flying triangle on May 29, 2002, "At 10:32
PM (three days ago), I was at the 6800 foot elevation in the mountains
north of Yosemite, near a resort called Kennedy meadows. We were staying
at a private cabin and I was using a 4 inch refractor telescope and binoculars
to view the crystal clear night sky. We spotted a couple of distant galaxies
and nebula, we also concentrated on counting satellites that trekked across
the sky. We also spotted a flying object quite a bit higher than the commercial
planes. I figured it was military because it flew like a plane but did
not display the standard red and green wing tip lights. It had a single
white strobe that blinked about once every five seconds.
-
- We spotted twelve satellites that are distinctive since
they are small spots of light in orbit that move quickly across the sky,
but appear to move more slowly when they are further away.- orbital velocity
is roughly 17,500 mph. Not all satellites however travel at the same speed
-- some seem to be faster than others but this may be attributable to the
altitude of their individual orbit. They often change their light intensity
since they are so high, reflecting sunlight that shines from far over the
horizon. If they are spinning, they will seem to slowly flicker as their
surfaces reflect light in different directions, or their trajectory might
not be conducive to good reflectivity of sunlight. We spotted 12 satellites,
most traveling in a polar orbit that would rate to be between a magnitude
of 3 to 4 about as bright as the star Orion. Within two seconds of spotting
it I saw two more flying behind it adjacent to one another. My companion
also saw the objects. The formation was perfectly symmetrical in that,
they moved as one unit, in the shape of a triangle, however it is important
to note that the space between them did not occlude stars behind them as
a solid object would do. At arm's length the lights were covered by your
thumb with the lead light on the tip, and the trailing lights at the base
separated by the width of your thumb -- this forms the triangle formation.
At the apparent distance of these objects, this would constitute a formation
that was considerably wide apart, yet they maintained perfect symmetry
from one another and continued that way with the same heading (north to
south in this case) throughout the sighting. They never reappeared, Thanks

- WASHINGTON SIGHTINGS CONTINUE
-
- SEATTLE -- A small ascending object was sighted above
6th Avenue in downtown Seattle on May 31, 2002. I saw this object at about
11:00 PM, from the 7th floor of our building. The object was difficult
to identify because it was either very small or far away and gradually
ascended and disappeared into the clouds. The object appeared to be moving
from the southeast towards the northwest. It had the shape of a kite,
but I thought it unusual to be flying kites in this area because our office
is located in one of the main approaches to Sea-Tac airport. I do not
think the object was a balloon although it did gradually ascend in a smooth
motion. I first sighted the object at a declination of 60 degrees and
lost it about 80 degrees. Weather: partly cloudy with a ceiling of around
5,000 feet.
-
- ZILLAH, YAKIMA County -- The witnesses report seeing
three dim yellow lights travel at high speed on June 1, 2002, at 10:45
PM\. The witnesses stated, "They saw a dim yellow light, ~25 times
the size of a star but half as bright, came from the north, traveled ~3/4
of the way across the horizon then made a near angular turn and headed
east. It was traveling so fast that when it turned east, (away from my
vantage point), it was out of sight in about two seconds. Fifteen minutes
later a similar craft crossed the sky going southeast at the same speed.
I observed a third craft moving southeast about ten minutes after the second
sighting. All three looked and flew the same This road was quite deserted,
but there were probably thirty other vehicles that must have seen something.
We sure won't be the same. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director NUFORC

- WINDERMERE TO CANAL FLATS -- The witnesses report seeing
a bright, white strobe light on deserted highway. The ladies report, "My
sister and I were traveling from Vancouver to Kimberly on May 31, 2002,
at about 1:00 AM, when we reached a few miles south of Windermere we saw
a bright strobe light above some trees." We thought it was a beacon
of some kind, but we noticed that it took a long time to reach it and finally
pass it. It was almost in the trees and the road traveled in a way that
we could not see it when we passed it. A few moments later we saw another
bright, white strobe light just above the trees quite a bit further down
the road. At one point I could see it flashing just above a house. We
were getting closer now and we finally realized it was moving. "There
were no marker lights, no spotlight and we were in a bit of a thunder and
lightning storm, so I really do not think it was any kind of legitimate
aircraft." This second light stayed with us for a minute or so traveling
at our speed just above the trees about 50 feet to our left. It stopped
"following" us just before the next small town.
-
- When we reached Fairmont, we stopped and I could still
see it flashing in the distance. We continued on, quite scared now. We
crossed a small bridge and I saw another one on my right but it was stationary.
Then as we traveled alongside Columbia Lake we saw another one. This
one was on the other side of the lake, but it stayed with us for a few
minutes. When we reached Canal Flats, it stopped, and when we looked back
there were two hovering over the town. We were frightened and continued
on our way. Thanks to Peter Davenport www.ufocenter.com.

- SELKIRK -- I was in my backyard reading a book by candle
light on June 2, 2002, at about 11:00-11:30 PM CST. After completing the
1st chapter of the book, "The Stranger" I stopped and had my
break. And was gazing into the sky as it was one of the clearest nights
I have seen recently and saw something that I could not explain! I stayed
outside for a while after I saw it to see if it would come back again.
When I'm reading a book I take a break after each chapter to have a cigarette
and to think about what I have just read. I saw what was either a triangular
shaped craft or three crafts flying in a triangular formation. I don't
know whether it was just one or multiples because I was unable to make
out any part of the structure only three red lights. I am not an aviation
expert at all but I this was not an airplane, they flew allot closer than
planes usually fly and it was one of the fastest moving objects I have
ever seen in my life. I am extremely skeptical about these types of things
and have been searching the net since I saw them and the closest picture
I could find was this one http://www.totalufo.net/ufos/pics/belgufo.htm
but there was no middle light and I was unable to make out and defined
shape like the one in this picture which is why it could have been three
separate objects. There was also TV problems after I had come inside
that never happened before. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director National

distance at 10:30 PM. There were a pile of lights on the bottom of the
object in a circular pattern and all white in color. They also were able
to see this very clearly. Thanks to Brian Vike HBCC UFO Editors' Note:

- ARGENTINA STRANGE DWARF REPORTED IN CATTLE MUTE AREA
-
- GENERAL ACHA (DNA) -- The presence of a "dwarf"
or "green midget" wandering the backyards of many neighborhoods
in General Acha has been the latest subject of conversation. It appears
to be a short, green entity which runs away with haste when detected.
A resident of the El Oeste neighborhood informed this newspaper that the
entity appeared twice on her property: once in the morning and once in
the afternoon. According to the woman, her husband was resting on both
occasions, but when he reported to the backyard in response to his wife's
screams, the mysterious entity vanished by rapidly climbing up a tree.
While the man did not see the "dwarf," he gives his spouse the
benefit of the doubt, stating that he has known her for 40 years and can
vouch for her physical and mental health. All versions agree in that the
entity is short in stature. Another resident added that it moved so quickly
that it was hard to describe it. The fact is that this entity, described
as "a green dwarf," is causing a stir in the city and its manifestations
have been the subject of conversation in certain circles. The stories have
already captivated radio audiences. Thanks to the Diario "La Arena"

- GENERAL ACHA -- Five cows were found dead this past weekend
in a field of the Cuchillo-Co region. The animals' lifeless bodies were
missing organs and their mysterious deaths were added to the more than
ten cases that still perplex police officers and veterinarians involved
in investigating these events. The Aberdeen Angus cows were found at the
"La Sierra" rural establishment, owned by Gregoria Echávez,
located on Lot 24 some 150 kilometers west of General Acha. Police sources
informed LA ARENA on Sunday that Maria Alejandra Veralli had filed a complaint
after receiving a telephone call from her sister, discussing the fact that
the deaths of five bovines had been ascertained, and some of them were
missing vital organs. The police undertook the pertinent action and reported
the event to the 2nd Duty Court. The field is located on Routes 28 and
13.
-
- This weekend's finds were added to the rest of the cases
which have kept police and veterinarians on edge. Readers will recall that
cows slain under strange circumstances were found in the fields of Macachín,
Salliqueló (province of Buenos Aires), Bernasconi, Jacinto Arauz,
Villa Iris and the General Acha region. In all of these cases, the animals
had been rendered bloodless and presented incisions made by high-precision
instruments which are unknown to the parties conducting the investigation.
The shroud of mystery is further thickened by the fact that in the hours
prior to one of these discoveries, strange lights were seen in the vicinity.

- SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE OF PREVIOUS EARTH CIVILIZATION?
-
- Cosmiverse, Pravda and Outside Asylum have a rather interesting
series of articles about some stone maps that have been found in China
that may date to some 120 million years ago. The map appears to be a topographical
relief on a scale 1 : 1.1 Kilometers. To blockquote: "The map indicates
the use of civil engineering to create a system of channels about 12,000
km in length and 500 meters wide, and 12 dams that are 300 to 500 meters
wide." Their work is being peer reviewed in the scientific community,
so there is some hope and reasonable possibility that this is not a hoax.
The map was found by scientists who were working on researching possible
Chinese immigration to Ural and Siberia. When this was originally found,
it was thought that it had been carved by hand and was some 3000 years
old. Upon examination, it became obvious that this was machine made.
It was also discovered upon x-ray examination that the map is made up
of three layers, including a layer of a type of ceramic that has never
been used in China. "During the searches, notes dated to the 18th
Century were found in archives of Ufa governor-general. They reported
about 200 unusual stone slabs which were situated not far from the Chandar
village, Nurimanov Region. Chuvyrov and his colleague at once decided
that slabs could be connected with Chinese migrants. Archive notes also
reported that in 17th-8th Centuries, expeditions of Russian scientists
who investigated Ural Region had studied 200 white slabs with signs and
patterns, while in early 20th Century, archaeologist A.Schmidt also had
seen some white slabs in Bashkiria. This made the scientist start the
search. "If these are indeed the same slabs that were referred to
in the 18th Century, then the technology available then simply would not
have been capable of making such a map."
-
- Even the technology available today for information needed
for such a map is only under the development phase by the US and is not
expected to be finished until the year 2010. These are excellent signs
against an elaborate hoax. To quote one Pravda article, "At first
we thought that the stone was about 3,000 years. Though, that age was gradually
growing, till we identified the shells ingrained in the stone to sign some
objects. Though, who could guarantee that the shell was alive while being
ingrained in the map? The map's creator probably used a petrified find."
... While examining the stone, two shells were found on its surface. The
age of one of them - Navicopsina munitus of Gyrodeidae family - is about
500 million years, while of the second one - Ecculiomphalus princeps of
Ecculiomphalinae subfamily - is about 120 million years. If the dating
is correct, and it is not a hoax, then it could not have been man-made.
This means either an advanced civilization whose remains have just been
found, or interstellar travelers. In either case, it would be an unprecedented
and terribly interesting find. I think it is perfectly reasonable that
a civilization could have evolved here naturally, and died off well before
humans evolved. Consider that involved in a time span of about 250,000
years. For something that is 120 million years old, that is more than ample
time for such a previous species to have risen and fallen. Consider the
asteroid that wiped out 99% of life on Earth 65 million years ago, and
you have a perfectly plausible reason said species was wiped out in totality.
