Latest UFO Sighting Reports

Thursday April 19, 2007
There has been a lot of activity in our skies lately, and here are some of the highlights of recent events.

Alabama-04-10-Witness was outside watching the sky when he saw two objects approaching from the South. They flew side by side at first. The objects were unbelievable fast, moving at 90 degree angles, and from horizon to horizon in seven seconds.

Montana-04-06-Woman and daughter were driving home in the Bears Paw mountains, when the daughter saw an unusual light. The object gave off a fire-like light. They stopped to watch the object. The UFO then split into two, both moving in different directions. The two then rejoined as one. The vehicle headlights and dashboard lights went out. The experience scared both witnesses. After the objects were gone, the vehicle electrical system returned to normal.

New York-04-03-A man and his wife were driving west on I-90 heading to Buffalo in separate cars. They spotted two UFOs in a small, luminescent cloud. The man saw a glowing, orange-silver object drop from cloud, and make a reverse J-shaped move back into the cloud. The man cell phoned his wife in the trailing car, but she had already seen the action in the sky. The man is an airplane buff, and states that the objects were definitely not planes.

Virginia-04-12-Man's girlfriend called him to take a look at something. It was a light in the sky that looked like a star, but it was green, red, and white. The object simply sat in the sky with very little movement. The object appeared to be shaped like a shield. This report was made in real time.

We have had a number of reports from our About.com readers, and I am posting some of them below.

Toronto, Canada-Stationary Green Light-April-2007-Recently a very good friend of mine told me about his experience recently with a UFO. It was raining heavily and out of his hotel window he observed a very green light. The light remained there, completely stationary but then in a flash, the light disappeared and was replaced by a similar light, only this one was red. It seemed to be a little higher than the green one was.

Then, it disappeared only to be replaced by another light, only this one was yellow. My friend spent some ten or twenty minutes looking at these changing lights.

At this point, he wished he had brought his camera, which he always carries, but it was in a repair shop due to shutter problems. However, he remembered that his binoculars were in his suitcase, which he quickly retrieved and set focus on the lights.

Through the rain, it was very difficult to get a clear picture but at least the magnification of the glasses, and the fact that the lights were at a very low altitude allowed his view to be somewhat more advantageous in discerning what the object might be. He still is uncertain but the best description he gives is that the overall appearance of the assembled changing lights looked just like a traffic light. This happened right downtown in Toronto, very close to ground level, just above all the traffic on a very rainy April night. Too bad he didn't have his camera.

London, England-In 1968 I was fourteen years old. I was standing on the balcony of my flat (In London, England) with my mother looking at the night sky. A bright light approximately the size of Jupiter (when seen in the sky) appeared in the sky and was moving silently but very fast across the sky. We watched it and then it entered a thick cloud which was more or less overhead. It then came out the side of the cloud. It just changed direction (without turning, a 90 degree angle) in a split second and traveled back the way it had come from.

It seemed that it was meant to do this in the cloud but didn't quite make it on time. I was astounded because I did not think a plane or jet could do such a maneuver (changing direction like it did) and looking back.

It was 1968 after all. I am sometimes skeptical about UFOs today because of today's technology but this event happened almost 40 years ago. My mother was as baffled as I was as to what the object was.

London, England-In 1993 when my daughter was thirteen I sent her to the shop. We lived in Leyton, London at the time. She saw a huge disc shaped object hovering above the nearby infants school. It was white and looked like it was hot metal and wobbling almost like liquid metal.

She said it was like looking at it through steam and its shape seemed to change. A schoolboy reported seeing something similar in Walthamstow (he drew a picture of the craft) which is near Leyton and told the local newspaper who printed the article. I look forward to hearing your comments. Rose T.

Tasmania-I too have reported two separate cigar-shaped UFO sightings over northern Tasmania. These were only days apart, roughly the same area and amidst what I think was a UFO flap in our area which lasted weeks. Sightings were reported to TUFOIC.

Well... that's a lot to take in for now, but be here next week when we unveil some more UFO reports, and until then, keep your eyes on the skies.

If you report to the police or the government that you have seen a UFO they will tell you that they conducted project Blue Book and that there is no such thing.
It can really upset a person who thought they really saw something to be turned down like that.

Hello to all readers, I live in Leyton, London and last night about 10pm I saw something very strange in the sky. I was not alone, I was with my uncle and his girlfriend. We was pulling into our road off Lea Bridge Rd. We sat in the car talking for a while when we noticed something in the sky passing. The only reason we got out the car was becuae we thought it was on fire, it very quickly came to our attention that is was round like a fire ball. The only way I can descibe it is being a floating fireball high up, very quickly moving. I have never seen anything like it, the thing that struck me is that it didnt make a sound. It just passed, we watched for a good few minutes before it became smaller in the distance heading south, in didnt move smooth, it was bumping around a bit. It just wasnt normal.
I know I saw it, I would love to know what I saw.

Dear Sir,
I belong to a village in Punjab state(India).4 or 5 days back I was sleeping on my rooftop due to summers, when at almost midnight(1 A.M.)my eyes opened and I noticed a very bright green object in the sky overhead.For a few seconds I saw it then it disappeared.After then I sat waiting for it for almost half an hour but nothing happened.But now today in my local newspaper I read that last night people of Mansa City(Punjab) saw a green,red,yellow etc. type object in the sky at 10 P.M.They also photographed it and newspaper carries photographs of it.People say that it was very fast and changing angles at 90 degrees.My request is that those of you who can do please try to find out what it was.Are they spying objects of one country against another or U.F.O.`s

On 11/28/08 we took a number of consecutive picture of the Venus/Jupiter sectacular in the SW sky over Ft. Myers, FL. When we later viewed the photos, there were three: 7:33, 34 & 7:35 pm with a green UFO about 1/2 the size of Jupiter. All were about a finger-width from Jupiter, the 1st to the upper-right, then the brightest was due right, and lastly the dimest was at the upper left. We can not find any info that will identify what appears in these three pictures. (the ISS photos we’ve found are not green)

Hello. Not being the sharpest tools in the shed my sister and i were walking home on dusk from the beach. we both saw about 2 metres of the top of the roof of our house (so no more than 10 metres above us) a T shaped object with a small flashing red box of the side, it tavelled very slowly diagonally over the top of the house and out of view. Meh, i thought nothing of it, until the next morning when i remembered over breakfast and told dad about the satelite we’d seen over the house, Dad much to my embarassment went onto explain about satelites haha Has anyoe else seen this or something like it? i had about a minute to watch it and it was very close
