UFO Sighting Reports

Thursday October 2, 2008
Welcome all, to another session of UFO sighting reports. Let's take a look at some recent listings.

Indiana-08-30-08-I took my dogs out for a walk and I looked up in the sky and saw twinkling lights from the north, east, west and south. So I decided to get the dogs in and just as I had, my brother calls and asks me if I was seeing the lights. He and some other family members came over. We all had binoculars, so we went down the sidewalk to a empty field by the house and watched these disc-shaped objects.

All of a sudden, this thing appeared from nowhere. It had red lights, and it was so huge you could see a diamond shape on the belly. It had no airplane sound at all and it disappeared as quick as it had come. Since that night, they have appeared a couple of other times. source: www.mufon.com

West Virginia-09-24-08-I was walking in the park this morning near my house, and as I approached the baseball field, a glint of light caught my attention as I was looking at the cloud formations. I thought at first that it was just an airplane, but on further observation, noticed a couple of things. 1) It was way above the clouds, like maybe 60,000 feet, 2) had a brilliant glow when the sun would shine on it, and 3) appeared to be a little round ball with no wings.

Also as I watched it, it didn't seem to be moving along like a jet plane, but seemed to meander along as if it were being pulled or towed. It had no wings, no contrail, and made no noise. It stayed on a northeast to southwest heading, and if I had to guess, I would say air speed to be around 1000 mph. source: www.mufon.com

Tennessee-09-26-08-I live in Knoxville, TN, and I was walking my 2 dogs for their morning constitutional at about 6:20 AM, when I noticed how lovely the sky looked. There were so many stars out. I could see both the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper. It was a very clear morning. Then I noticed 2 identical stars close to each other that were extremely bright. I thought to myself that I had never seen those stars before.

As I continued to watch, they both began to fade until they were gone. I thought maybe cloud cover was the problem, but none of the other stars faded. The sky was almost cloudless. It left me feeling extremely curious about what these were. source: www.mufon.com

Texas-09-25-08-Wednesday night, sitting on my staircase outside using the phone, I witnessed what initially looked to be 2 stars moving south in tandem over the course of 10-20 seconds. They were at a 75 degree angle from where I was, moving directly away from me. At first when I looked up, I thought that they were stationary, and I had a split second to think that "those stars are really close together."

The lead 'star' was profoundly brighter than the back 'star,' which remained at a constant dim or dull brightness. Over the next several seconds, the lead light dimmed to the same illumination of the light following. They continued moving south, and eventually were not visible anymore. I have lived next to DFW airport for the last 5 years, and what I saw was not a plane. I'm estimating that these "tandem lights" were 20-40 feet in the air, which would make the distance between each light tremendous in size. source: www.mufon.com

Great Britain-09-25-08-Intensely bright unblinking light, moving at the speed and height of a commercial plane, heading east over Aldermaston, the UK's nuclear weapons research facility fifteen miles away, and on towards London and Heathrow Airport-fifty miles away.

The early night sky is full of planes at this hour, to and from London's Heathrow and Gatwick airports, with five or six planes' winking navigation lights visible in the dark sky at any one time.

This light was an incandescent white light, larger and brighter than the many stars, and traveled at speed cross the sky. Through binoculars, it sometimes had the appearance of a V-shape, and sometimes a crescent. It was high and silent, with no flashes of light, only a strong, steady brilliant white light, silently crossing the evening sky, on a different flight path to the many planes in the sky at this time.

That will do it for this week, and until next time, keep your eyes on the skies.

Billy just wanted to say thank you for bringing us this information each week, I appreciate it very much as I’m sure many others do. You are helping so many to be informed of ufo’s that otherwise they might not have known about. Thanks again and have a good day.

I have never seen a UFO but on three occasions I have seen bright lights in the sky that moved so fast and in such fast directional changes that were not from any known aircraft on this earth.
