- COLUMBUS, Ohio - On November 18, 1999, while on patrol
in my police cruiser I noticed a dark object coming from the east at 1:50
AM. As it grew closer I noticed it was triangular in shape. It made a
banking turn and continued north and out of sight. I am a police officer
for a suburb of Columbus, Ohio. I had a ride-along passenger, who is a
reserve officer for another agency in the area. We were attempting to find
a dark area within the city to observe the Leonid Meteor Shower as it
was a slow night. We stopped the cruiser, when I noticed an object coming
from east to west just west of downtown Columbus. At first I assumed it
was an airplane. I quickly realized this was not the case. It appeared
similar in shape to an F-117 Stealth Fighter as it approached head-on.
I say this because it seemed to have similar sharp angled features. After
watching it for about 7 seconds I told my partner to get out of the car
as I was doing the same. I pointed in it's direction and said "Do
you see that thing?" He too spotted the object just before it began
to make a slow right banking turn. As it turned, it showed it's underside
that had some sort of distortion to it almost as if it were camouflaged..
It appeared to be an equalateral triangle shape. There were no flashing
lights and absolutely no sound. It appeared to be relatively close to us.
So I tried to shine my spotlight on it to light it up but it was too far
away to be illuminated by it. We often have the police helicopter fly by
and making a comparison the craft was much larger in size. After completing
a 90 degree turn it leveled off and continued north. It was traveled slower
than the helicopter. It just seemed to glide to the north as a stingray
does through the ocean. I called another officer to meet me and we told
him about the incident. I called the Port Columbus Airport Police and
identified myself to them and asked if there was anyway they could find
out if the tower had anything unidentified on their radar. The dispatcher
advised me she'd been in touch with Tracon and they had nothing unusual
on their radar in the time frame I'd reported. I have seen and F-117 fly
and I know they are quite loud. It was close enough to us that we could
distinctly see it's edges and shape although it was not self-illuminated.
I am truly baffled by what we saw. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director NUFORC

- CHESHIRE -- Bruce Tilden sent this interesting report.
An Adams, Massachusetts police officer reports that on November 18, 1999,
he observed 4 circles of light high in the cloudy sky above his home in
rural Cheshire. The equidistant spaced lights formed a diamond and would
rotate clockwise one quarter of a turn, then come together into one light.
A second later, they would separate into the original pattern, again rotate
clockwise one quarter turn, close together and so on. When the lights were
apart they covered a 3 to 4 inch area at arm's length, and could be covered
by the palm of the witness's hand. This event lasted for more than an hour
and was witnessed by the officer's daughter, son, and the son's friend.
Although no light shaft was seen shining up from the ground, the witness
"called around" to see if there was some sort of an opening celebration
where spotlights were being used. The result of this query was negative,
and he was certain that the lights did not originate from the ground. Thanks

- NEW JERSEY TWO CYLINDERS AND DISC VIDEOTAPED
-
- RARITAN CENTER -- Reverend Damian Barna indicates that
in using computer enhancement of his eight minute video tape, he has been
able to see small balls of energy departing from one cylinder shaped UFO.
The enhancement infers that the plasma energy balls are fired between
the UFOs as if they were engaged in an aerial battle only fifteen miles
from New York City. An apparently hostile UFO appears to shoot green plasma
charges at other intruding objects. The craft could also be transferring
the plasma energy from one object to another. The large cylinder shaped
UFO is estimated to be at least a hundred feet long. During the filming
the cylinder like cloud seems to morph or gradually move from one position
to another. This may be part of a cloaking device. Thanks to Rev. Barna
who is pastor of the New Freedom Church. Editor's Note: I have seen video
of many cylinder shaped objects but never one that dissipates on the left
(south) of the screen and rebuilds itself on the right (north) portion.
It appears to teleport itself from one place to the other. The Dead Sea
Scrolls, the Bible and many significant religious writings predict a war
between the forces of light and darkness. Reverend Barna appears to have
captured on film amazing evidence of a pillar or cylinder cloud. The film
is being copyrighted but individual frames can be seen on www.filersfiles.com.

- VIRGINIA UFO SIGHTING
-
- SPRINGFIELD -- Ceryn L and wrote concerning last week's
Filer's Files. "I just read with interest your November 17, 1999,
UFO sighting report." Just wanted to add that I also saw the same
formation at approximately 7:10 PM. I live just off the Huntington Metro
stop south of Alexandria, VA on the hill overlooking the city with a clear
view of the sky. I saw a triangular formation flying quite low out of
the northwest toward the southeast though it looked more like a lead ship
with two wingmen. My very first thought was my god, UFOs, followed by
trying to rationalize that it was a plane coming into National Airport
(but much too fast and it didn't turn for the approach) or a fighter headed
for Andrews Air Force Base but still much too fast. It was gone in a blink
and I did not see it again though I stood and searched the sky for some
moments. Next day I read about the meteor shower and palmed it off as
that, until I read your account. Weather balloons don't fly that fast,
neither do commercial jets or even our fighters and it was totally silent.

- FLORIDA SKY EXPLOSION
-
- TAMPA -- On December 2, 1999, I was interviewed on the
Malcolm Hathorne show. A caller reported that on October 25, 1999, he
was driving on Highway 301 towards the south when he saw a strange explosion
in the sky that lasted for thirty seconds. The explosion occurred between
5:00 and 5:30 AM. Many people saw the object in the sky and phoned the
Bruce Williams radio show. Thanks to Malcolm Hathorne Malcolmh@gte.net

- GEORGIA
-
- LA GRANGE -- On November 25, 1999, John Thompson my boy
Corey says at 11:45 p.m last night he saw a spectacular meteor (I presume).
It was travelling BELOW heavy cloud cover going to the northeast. He was
laying on his back in our family room when he saw it outside behind our
house to the northwest. The light covered 20 degrees of arc in one second
and made no sound. It was a solid egg shape non-blinking yellowish white
light with an apparent size of a quarter moon. Apparent speed was many
times of an airliner and it seemed to be flying slightly upward. No trail
or sparks were seen. I'm ruling out an airplane because of large apparent
size, extreme speed and no sonic boom was heard. I would guess the cloud
ceiling last night was below 20,000 feet. Thanks to John Thompson.

- OHIO SPHERE SHAPED CRAFT
-
- LIMA -- On November 21, 1999, the witnesses were driving
northbound on I-75 towards Lima at mile marker 117, when they saw a sphere
shaped craft moving slowly through a field. It was just east of the highway
and low to ground in swirling fog. The craft was randomly shining a light
onto the ground below it at 1:30 AM. The witness said, "We first
noticed the object when we suddenly saw the ground beneath it light up."
The witnesses pulled their car onto the shoulder of the road and stopped
to observe the object. Although, there was no visible light source on
the craft, the ground reflected off it's mirror like surface when the light
was activated. It was difficult to estimate the exact distance to the
craft, but it seemed fairly close. The craft was moving southbound very
slowly. The light would activate randomly and had no particular pattern
or color. The witness stated, "You could detect movement by the
reflection off of the object while the light was on." When there was
no light from the craft you could barely see it due to the fog. Only
a faint outline of the top portion was visible. Traffic was sparse and
other cars/trucks passed, but no one else stopped. After a few minutes
the passenger rolled down his window. We could hear no sounds but could
still see the object. It lit up the trees to the north of us and our parking
area. The lights went off and the object left at a moderate speed north
bound over the tree area it had just lit up. "The fog flowed around
the craft as it moved and that was when we got a good look at it."
There were no windows visible or lights on its smooth and shiny surface.
The object then faded out of view.

- OKLAHOMA CITY UFO ON CBS TELEVISION
-
- Jim Hickman recently interviewed Emmy winner weatherman
Gary England, inventor of the Doppler radar who is his 26th year as Chief
Meteorologist at KWTV. On July 16, 1999, KWTV the CBS affiliate showed
film of a UFO taken by their helicopter crew during the May 3, 1999, tornado.
He calls it "The Unidentified Flying Thing" (UFT). Meteorologist
Gary England stated that the film had been analyzed and the object was
indeed unknown. There was other independent ground observation by two other
witnesses. He is also recognized for his development of First Warning'
and 'Storm Tracker' technology-- automated severe weather systems now in
use nationwide. Jim Hickman said, "I think your May 3rd sighting
is very important and needs to be fully investigated, especially since
you have both the great video and two reputable eyewitnesses to back it
up." Gary said: "Thanks Jim, as you are aware, a government employee
captured a similar "unknown" object on still camera near Newcastle,
Ok, also on May 3, 1999." Jim stated: "Yes, we have attempted
to contact him. I have found similar objects in my research before, we
have been calling them Roswell Rods for lack of a better name; as you know,
they were first discovered in Roswell, New Mexico back in 1994. Gary:
In fact, when we were showing our tornado video on the air, he is the one
that spotted the "UFT". He came to our station and we went through
the video and found the images he had seen at home on his television.
Jim: It's strange that we are seeing so many unusual objects here in Oklahoma
lately. I don't know if you remember the storm chaser video taken by Lan
Lamphere in Loco, Oklahoma back a few years ago? I was one of the first
investigators of that sighting. He had 3 videos taken of that object. He
took one and several Oklahoma City news crews video-taped the others, including
your station. NASA has studied the video and determined it to be an unknown
object flying at 24,000 mph. Gary: Yes, and he had nothing but problems
since too! He presented his May 3 case to scientists at Norman and they
declined to investigate because "before research can begin, there
must be a theory" and no one has any idea what the UFT is. Jim:
Maybe we can get the scientific community interested if enough reputable
people come forward and make reports of what they see. If only the scientists
would work with us, we have theories, years of research, just no answers.
