Video - UFO over London Thames

Monday February 13, 2012
Here is a video that has gone viral on youtube. It was taken by a man from his vehicle in January of this year. The unknown object was hovering over the River Thames.

The fact that the object was over water has caused some to think it is a boat, but the videographer, familiar with the area, states that the object was too bright to be a boat, and was well above the water.

See what you think by going to Video - UFO over London Thames Estuary, UK, and comment as you wish.

Illinois Mini-Wave of UFOs

Saturday February 11, 2012
As the New Year began, UFO reports went through the roof. Of course, one must be careful about reports of lights in the sky when there are celebratory fireworks being displayed. But the reports I am showing you have nothing to do with fireworks.

Within a 24-hour period, three, really well reported cases of sightings of triangle and cigar-shaped UFOs were logged in the state of Illinois. Check out Three UFO Sightings over Illinois, and be sure to comment if you so desire.

UFO Pursued by Police in Mexicali

Thursday February 9, 2012
There is a recent report from Mexicali, BC, Mexico that claims that a "strange device" in the air was spotted by locals, who reported the incident to the authorities via the 066 emergency line.

The device was seen over Mexicali, BC, Mexico, on January 23, as the Municipal Public Security Forces were dispatched to investigate. The object was also picked up urban security cameras and it was caught by cameras.

Martin Ruelas, supervisor of the forces, saw the object as well as other officers. They described the object as a large, white light which also displayed various other colors. They could find no conventional explanation for the object.

See the video capture of the object at UFO Pursued by Police in Mexicali, BC, Mexico, and see what you think about these claims.
