Mark Simpson-BBC News The 400-page report was kept secret for six years A confidential Ministry of Defence report on Unidentified Flying Objects has concluded that there is no proof of alien life forms. In spite of the secrecy surrounding the UFO study, it seems citizens of planet Earth have little to worry about. The report, which was completed in 2000 and stamped "Secret: UK Eyes Only", has been made public for the first time. Only a small number of copies were produced and the identity of the man who wrote it has been protected. His findings were only made public thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, after a request by Sheffield Hallam University academic Dr David Clarke. The four-year study - entitled Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in the UK - tackles the long-running question by UFO-spotters: "Is anyone out there?" The answer, it seems, is "no". The 400-page report puts it like this: "No evidence exists to suggest that the phenomena seen are hostile or under any type of control, other than that of natural physical forces." It adds: "There is no evidence that 'solid' objects exist which could cause a collision hazard." So if there are no such things as little green men in spaceships or flying saucers, why have so many people reported seeing them? Well, here is the science bit. "Evidence suggests that meteors and their well-known effects and, possibly some other less-known effects are responsible for some unidentified aerial phenomena," concludes the report. "Considerable evidence exists to support the thesis that the events are almost certainly attributable to physical, electrical and magnetic phenomena in the atmosphere, mesosphere and ionosphere. "They appear to originate due to more than one set of weather and electrically-charged conditions and are observed so infrequently as to make them unique to the majority of observers." People who claim to have had a "close encounter" are often difficult to persuade that they did not really see what they thought they saw. The report offers a possible medical explanation. "The close proximity of plasma related fields can adversely affect a vehicle or person," states the report. "Local fields of this type have been medically proven to cause responses in the temporal lobes of the human brain. These result in the observer sustaining (and later describing and retaining) his or her own vivid, but mainly incorrect, description of what is experienced." There are, of course, other causes of UFOs - aeroplanes with particularly bright lights, stray odd-shaped balloons and strange flocks of birds, to name but a few. Yet, it will be difficult to convince everyone that there is a rational explanation for all mysterious movements in the sky. Some UFO-spotters believe governments will always cover up the truth about UFOs, because they are afraid of admitting that there is something beyond their control. It is not clear how much time and effort the MoD has spent looking at the skies in recent years, but it appears there are no plans for an in-depth UFO report like the one written in 2000. A MoD spokesperson said: "Both this study and the original "Flying Saucer Working Party" [already in public domain in the national Archives] concluded that there is insufficient evidence to indicate the presence of any genuine unidentified aerial phenomena. "It is unlikely that we would carry out any future studies unless such evidence were to emerge." source and references:

 There have been and will continue to be reports about UFOs released by different organizations. Every time one comes out, its results run the circuit on the Internet message forums, chat rooms, and UFO Web sites. The recent release of the so-called secret files from the British Ministry of Defence is no exception. They say that there is nothing to reports of UFOs, and give us several alternative explanations for them. At this moment, all of the debunkers are jumping for joy, saying something like, "See, I told you so!" What exactly does this report mean to those of us who believe in UFOs? Absolutely nothing! It's just one more attempt to put the final nail in the coffin. But, after a short period of time, the seemingly destructive report will be forgotten, and everything will be back to normal. If the MOD could find nothing of importance about the Rendlesham Forest incident, what do you expect, anyway?
I think the answer is obvious. There are things they do not want the general public to know. This same reasoning is why Blue Book sent some of the more extraordinary, best documented cases of UFO sightings to another inside government source to be looked at, and these reports never were released to the public. Their main function was to ally fears of every day people like you and I that there may be other intelligence in the universe besides our own. Take the MOD report with a grain of salt. I do, and I believe anyone well read in the UFO subject will feel the same. The truth really is out there, but you won't find it in the British MOD report.

He claims to have seen spaceships soaring across the city's skies and crop circles 300ft-wide, so it will take more than an official report to convince this Oxford UFO expert aliens don't exist.
A confidential four-year study by the Ministry of Defence, made public under the Freedom of Information Act, concluded there is no proof of alien life forms.
But Michael Soper, pictured, a member of the Contact International UFO research group, has spent decades of his life studying unidentified flying objects and believes the MoD's report does not throw any doubt on his findings.
Mr Soper, of Ouseley Close, New Marston, who says he first saw a UFO in 1959 over the Malvern Hills in Worcestershire, said: "Obviously, the MoD can't admit aliens exist. "Even if they knew they did, they could not admit to it. This is the only kind of report they could produce. I don't agree with most of it." The report, undertaken by the Defence Intelligence Staff, part of the MoD, concludes that sightings of UFOs can be rationally explained and that meteors and their "well-known effects" are responsible for "some unidentified aerial phenomena". But Mr Soper insisted this could only explain about five per cent of the cases he had encountered. He said: "You would need to have a strange mentality to believe the conclusions of this report. I have read thousands of witness reports and seen all kinds of evidence and the MoD's conclusions do not come anywhere near to explaining them." Mr Soper, a researcher and mathematician, said he had pictures of an object he believes to be an alien craft which he spotted on a photo taken of a cloud near Banbury. In 1995, he took a picture of a spherical object above the Co-op store in Marston and has also investigated crop circles near Garsington. He said: "I've heard petrol engines just cut out when a UFO has flown overhead. I've seen pennies burned after UFOs have landed on them. "There are multiple witness reports. The MoD's report shows there is a case to answer, if they feel the need to produce a 400-page report. We were told there was no study being undertaken, but in actual fact a four-year study was being carried out. "It is a bittersweet victory for us. They have admitted there is something to explain." The report, entitled Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in the UK, was completed in 2000 and stamped "Secret: UK Eyes Only". Only a few copies were produced and the author's identity has been protected.

A Possible Chance UFO in Guatemala, by Ana Luisa Cid
A photograph taken by Jeysen Caban Fernandez, taken during the Good Friday processions (14 April 2006) in the Central Square of Antigua, Guatemala. "When I took the photos with my digital camera I didn't see anything, but when I downloaded them to the computer, I was able to see this object in the sky, which is very close to the Volcan de Agua volcano that borders the city. I consulted this with other people and we believe it cannot represent either a plane or a bird." Jeysen is a native of Puerto Rico. He employed a Kodak EasyShare CX-7300 camera with normal exposure times. (translation (c) 2006, S. Corrales, IHU)

The Journal of Hispanic Ufology-SOURCE: Miami UFO Center-Date: 05.06.06 ARGENTINA: CE-2 IN VALENTINA SUR Several residents witnessed the UFO. Some artifacts stopped working. NEUQUEN (AN) - "You doesn't believe in this sort of thing until you see them and I can I assure you that they make you feel very afraid," says Alberto. "When I phoned the police I told them please come, because I'm not crazy and I'm not playing a prank." The tranquility that characterizes 27 year old Alberto Oliva's job as a watchman was suddenly shattered yesterday in the early hours. The radio went dead, lights turned off and the motors of the treatment plant that he guards stopped working. When he emerged from the shed in which he consumed "mate", he saw an enormous light made up of different colors which lit the premises and moved in a zig-zagging motion. The object remained there for a hour and a half. Around 2:30 in the morning, an unidentified flying object (UFO) was seen in this capital's Valentina Sur neighborhood by the young man who works at the EPAS sewage treatement plant. And he wasn't the only witness: police officers from the 44th precinct who reported to Alberto's call also saw it and even photographed it with their cell phones. "It was a round green, yellow, violet and blue lights surrounded by a white circle," explained the young man in his statements to "Rio Negro", adding that "it moved in a zig-zag motion." "I was relaxing when suddently the power went out. The premises were dark, the plant's oxygen blowers went out and the radio died," he explained. "When I went out, I saw the enormous light and after a while, when it drifted toward Balsa Las Perlas, everything started working again." Police sources from the 44th precinct confirmed the event. They stated that the three officers dispatched to the scene saw the light and even photographed with cell phone cameras. They added that "other barracks, for example the one in Balsa Las Perlas, advised us that they had also seen it." The young man said that "the light remained on the premises for about 10 minutes. Then it ran away and became smaller, until it vanished like a shooting star falling from the sky." The immediate background on UFO maneuvers in this area go back to March 6, when a couple videotaped a multicolored light at Plaza Hincul, which also moved in a zig-zagging pattern. There is another case from last November, when residents of Vista Alegre claimed seeing lights over the Neuquen River, although in this case, they attributed the lights to fireworks launched from a party on the riverbanks. "Now the fear I felt has gone away a little," says Alberto. "But tonite I'm going to take a camera with me so no one can think that I'm just talking rubbish." (translation (c) 2006, S. Corrales, IHU.

Great Falls area residents have seen many unidentified flying objects over the years.
Some of those people might have had too much hootch to drink at the time.
But that wasn't the case for Nicholas Mariana, who filmed strange objects from Legion baseball park with a 16mm camera in August 1950. Mariana was general manager of the Great Falls Electrics baseball team at the time. Little did he know that his quick-thinking work with a camera would make Mariana a heroic figure among UFO buffs. Mariana was standing in the bleachers one day when he was amazed to see "two vehicles hovering above the pitcher's mound," his son related in an interview Saturday. The elder Mariana, who studied journalism at the University of Montana, kept a movie camera in his glove box. He ran for the camera, and stood in the bleachers behind home plate filming closeups of the strange objects. After a short time, the aircrafts shot up into the air in a flash. Soon, "they were little dots on the horizon," said the son, Nick Mariana of Victor. Mariana's film is credited as one of the best films ever taken of possible extra-terrestrial activity. And he had a witness, his secretary, who backed up his story. Mariana later complained the best segment of his film disappeared after he gave the movie to Malmstrom Air Force Base to analyze. Base officials denied intentionally clipping out the best closeups from the film. Mariana once appeared on "I've Got a Secret," a TV program hosted by Gary Moore in which a panel tried to guess what secret a guest had. Panelists didn't guess Mariana's secret. Mariana died Aug. 20, 1999, in Oregon, but interest in his film continues. Mariana's son, Nick, was born in Great Falls, but the family almost immediately moved to Missoula. Today, he owns a former Great Falls business called Mr. Video. As it turned out, he had his own movie camera when he was a kid. Nick Mariana shares his father's view that the government took the best part of the film and stuck it in a classified folder somewhere. "They don't lose that stuff," he said. The younger Mariana thinks the vehicle may well have been from another world. "I'm a believer," the Victor man said. "I think it's perfectly feasible that they've made contact." At the same time, he said there are plenty of "crackpots" out there who falsely claim to have been abducted by aliens. For years, the Marianas had the famous 15 seconds of 16 mm film around the house in a collection of movies. Then Nick Mariana tried to find it. "It disappeared from our house," he said. Fortunately, that part of the film had already been copied. Nick Mariana said his father was irritated that the government whacked out the best section of his movie. After all, who wouldn't object to a hatchet job of editing? But the elder Mariana didn't dwell on what happened to his film, even if he wasn't thrilled about it. "He just wasn't that kind of guy at all," son Nick said. That hasn't kept the Marianas from musing over the years about what the full film might have been worth to collectors. This spring, makers of a two-hour UFO film documentary for the History Channel in Canada, All In One Films of Toronto, are trying to find friends or relatives of Mariana who heard him talk about filming the UFOs. They also would like to talk to anyone who might have seen a showing of the Mariana film in Great Falls in the 1950s. If you fill that bill, either e-mail or write me and I'll pass the information on to the folks upstairs in Canada. Tribune Staff Writer Richard Ecke writes a weekly column on city life.

By Joe Nickell, posted: 07 May 2006
Britain's Manchester Evening News (April 6, 2006) termed it a hoax that "fooled the world." Well, not exactly: Skeptical Inquirer magazine was on to the 1995 "Alien Autopsy" film from the outset. But now the reputed creator of the fake extraterrestrial corpse used for the "autopsy" has publicly confessed. The film—purporting to depict the post mortem of an extraterrestrial who died in a UFO crash at Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947—was part of a "documentary" that aired on the Fox television network. Skeptics and many UFOlogists quickly branded the affair a hoax. Among numerous observations, they noted that the film bore a bogus, non-military codemark, that the injuries sustained by the extraterrestrial were inconsistent with an air crash, and that the person performing the autopsy held the scissors like a tailor rather than a pathologist (who is trained to place his middle or ring finger in the bottom of the scissors hole and use his forefinger to steady the blades). Hollywood special effects expert Trey Stokes (whose film credits include "The Blob," "Batman Returns," and "Tales from the Crypt") said that the alien corpse behaved like a dummy, seeming lightweight, "rubbery," and therefore moving unnaturally when handled. (See Joe Nickell, "'Alien Autopsy' Hoax," Skeptical Inquirer, Nov./Dec. 1995, 17–19.) Belatedly, a Manchester sculptor and special-effects creator, John Humphreys, now claims the Roswell alien was his handiwork, destroyed after the film was made. He made the revelation just as a new movie, "Alien Autopsy," was being released, a film for which he recreated the original creature. As he told the BBC, "Funnily enough, I used exactly the same process as before. You start with the stills from the film, blow them up as large as you can. Then you make an aluminum armature, which you cover in clay, and then add all the detail." The clay model was used to produce a mold that yielded a latex cast. Humphreys also admitted that in the original autopsy film he had himself played the role of the pathologist, whose identity was concealed by a contamination suit. The alien-autopsy hoax represented the culmination of several years' worth of rumors, myths, and outright deceptions purporting to prove that saucer wreckage and the remains of its humanoid occupants were stored at a secret facility—e.g., a (nonexistent) "Hangar 18" at Wright Patterson Air Force Base—and that the small corpses were autopsied at that or another site. Among the hoaxes were the following: • A 1949 science fiction movie, "The Flying Saucer," purported to contain scenes of a captured spacecraft; an actor actually posed as an FBI agent and swore the claim was true. • In 1950, writer Frank Scully reported in his book "Behind the Flying Saucers" that the U.S. government possessed no fewer than three Venusian spaceships, together with their humanoid corpses. Scully had been fed the tale by two confidence men who had hoped to sell a petroleum-locating device allegedly based on alien technology. • In 1974, Robert Spencer Carr began to promote one of the crashes from the Scully book and to claim firsthand knowledge of where the pickled aliens were stored. But as the late claimant's son admitted, Carr was a spinner of yarns who made up the entire story. • In 1987, the author of a book on Roswell released the notorious "MJ-12 documents" which seemed to prove the crash-retrieval story and a high-level government coverup. Unfortunately document experts readily exposed the papers as inept forgeries. • In 1990, Gerald Anderson claimed that he and family members had been rock hunting in the New Mexico desert in 1947 when they came upon a crashed saucer with injured aliens among the still-burning wreckage. Anderson released a diary his uncle had purportedly kept that recorded the event. Alas, forensic tests showed that the ink used to write the entries had not been manufactured until 1974. The most elaborate Roswell hoax, however, and the one that probably reached the largest audience was the "Alien Autopsy" film. It will be remembered as a classic of the genre. The truth about "the Roswell incident"—that the crash device was merely a secret U.S. spy balloon, part of Project Mogul, which attempted to monitor emissions from anticipated Soviet nuclear tests—continues to be obscured by hoaxers, conspiracy cranks, and hustlers. Joe Nickell is the Senior Research Fellow with the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal. He investigation the "Alien Autopsy" case for Skeptical Inquirer magazine in 1995. source and references: http://www.livescience.com/othernews/060507_alien_autopsy.html |

Light Seen, Structure Disappears; Kentucky c. 1969 |
c.1969 Western Kentucky-I will tell you all I can, what I tell you will be the truth. I
am not sure of the dates, but it is close, J. K. he worked for me, and
I went to the mine (Midway Mining Co) I owned this fluorite, zinc and lead
mine. It was about 1969 in the fall, J. K. and I went down to the mine to
get some pump parts to build a new pump. It was about 8 AM. We loaded up some parts and went to the machine shop at Frances, KY. about 13 miles from the mine. The machinist, J. K and I worked on the pump until about 9 PM. We had some old parts so we returned them to the mine. I had a shop there then. The mine covered about 2 acres. It was cleared off with some gravel in the lot: there were 2 buildings and a head frame and some mining equipment on the yard and a grassy field all around the mine. One tree behind us, when we pulled into the mine we saw what looked like this new barn in front of us. It looked like a new metal building. J. K. and I talked about it. I pulled the truck up so we could see it better. We were within 80 ft. of it. It looked like a 80 ft. high 80 ft. long and 80 ft. wide. It was as plain as it could be that we were looking at a new building that had been put up. The farmer that owned the land was Doey Binkley. He did not like me mining on his property as he did not own the mineral under his farm, the minerals had been sold to a Mr. Martin in 1907. Doey bought the farm after I was mining. My mining lease forbade me from mining under a existing house, barn, etc, so J. K. and I were talking that the next day I would talk to a lawyer and get this building tore down. We probably talked about the building for 10 to 20 minutes all the time we were just looking at the building in amazement at how fast they had put it up. Then we saw a light like a hand held light coming from the back to the side of the building. I said Doey is here and I will talk to him now. We got out of the truck, and walked to the front of the truck, and the building just went away: no sound, not anything: it just went away. It was clear; not very cold, no fog, no other lights, no water. It was just like a building sitting on the grass and then it went away. According to the eye witnesses, what appeared to be a building, was really an unknown object with the ability to either disappear, or quickly fly away. Could it have gone into another dimension right before their eyes, or simply vanished? W. L. D. source and references: Eye witness report, W. L. D. |

Mira Loma --I was out walking my pet on April 29, 2006 around 11:30 PM when I noticed a well lit craft, the night was slightly overcast and I could not make out the form. I also saw two round lighted objects side by side just north of the craft. The craft went towards the objects and all 3 vanished in a north east direction. There was no sound coming from the large craft.
San Fernando -- While enjoying a insouciant outdoor evening on May 6, 2006, with ten people, we were watching a local boxer Oscar De La Hoya, in a prize fight at 8:30 PM, with plenty of food, soft drinks, beer, etc. After cleaning up at the fights end, I was loading the car up with our two year old son, when I glanced up and I saw a perfect triangle of (3) lights, one on each point of the triangle. Moreover, I called this to the attention of my wife and niece and nephew, who at first thought it was an airplane night headlights, but then cried out, "Oh I see the triangle shape, when again all of a sudden, one of the lines of the triangle went out and we saw what looked like a sideway triangle, which looked like this (<)." Los Angeles -- Three of us watched lights flashing in a circular motion for about 30 minutes but could not tell what it was, also saw four more farther away I was just sitting down in the Jacuzzi and looked up to see the sky and noticed a colorful flashing light, thought it was a helicopter at first. Then, I asked my brother to see it and he thought it was a satellite, but it had too many colors and was too low. Then, my boyfriend got his camera and took a photo. The flashing lights went in a clockwise circular motion. It flew steady, the strobe like lights made it look like a moth around a light. When he took the picture, the camera was steady resting on the top of his car. As we watched the object on the screen, it moved erratically. Eventually it was too far away to see. I felt curious and perplexed as were the other two. I felt that it needed to be reported so I called the FAA and Edwards's Air Force Base, then reported it to the National Reporting Center in Seattle. Maricopa -- There has been several sightings on May 4 and 5th, 2006, of round white, almost glowing orbs. Two amber orbs were also seen near Route 347 near Maricopa that hovered and then disappeared. Orange --I was filming my parents' plane taking off at John Wayne Airport but that was non eventful until I later viewed the footage at my house and saw what looked like little black orbs appearing and dancing around disappearing once again only to reappear. Footage contains two distinct frames where an otherworldly craft (flying at least mach 10) crossed the camera's viewfinder. 1st frame shows a thin profile of a metallic object and the second frame clearly captures the object performing a mind boggling bank maneuver. I surmise it happened too fast for he naked eye to see. Thanks to HQ@mufon.com

On May 6, 2006, the witness was intrigued by the moon so she went outside to look and asked her husband to join her. He stated, "Look at that one there, that one is really bright." Then he said " Oh it's moving." Then as it moved slowly across the night sky toward Canada, we had noticed a green tint to the object. We were asking each other what the heck it was? It had no sound to it and moved very slow! Then, he told me to go inside and see what time it was. I turned back around, and that's when we both witnessed three small objects being shot out the left side from the larger object. The smaller objects had a white glow to them and moved further away from the larger object that now disappeared, then the three objects vanished as well. We called the St.Clair County International Airport to see if there were any known flights in the area, and they said there were no flights in the area, and to keep watch of the sky. After about 15 minutes of this episode, there was a jet circling the area. We did keep watch for about an hour, and right before I went back in the house, I noticed yet another small object in circular form, I called my husband back outside to see it. We both watched this object veer in zig zag pattern for about 3 minites, then it vanished out of sight. Thanks Brian Vike, Director HBCC UFO Research |

| PORTLAND -- NUFORC has received reports from the Portland area, regarding a number of very interesting sightings that occurred at approximately midnight, Saturday night, April 29, 2006. The duration of the event was approximately ten minutes. Many citizens there have reported having witnessed at least two groups of brightly lighted objects, seen moving over the downtown area of Portland, where they reportedly hovered briefly, and then disappeared to the south. Shortly after the first sighting, a second formation of similar objects was seen. Preliminary assessment is that the objects were not projected beams of light, either laser-based or incandescent.

| San Antonio – In February 2006, I saw something strange three months ago. It was a circular object with red lights going in a circle and stationary at 90 degrees from ground level to the southwest. I have never seen an object as large and stationary other than a helicopter. This object was stationary for over two hours. I'm astounded I was the only one that saw this object. Unfortunately, a day or so later it was reported a Stalwart, in personal aircraft manufacture, crashed and died in a town nearby. I'm wondering if this was not him I saw. If you have any information regarding this sighting please email me at the above address. Thanks Brian Vike, Director HBCC UFO Research |

Perth –There is small island just off the western coast near Augusta, and I said to my mate just as we headed down to the shore April 2004, to fish. That's an orange star and it must be a planet. Then he said, no it's a bit too big for that. Now this orange star/light stayed there for ages. We fished for God knows how long. I recall it faded out or disappeared before we left to start walking back. We had to scale some cliffs to get back and as we did, I saw this orange thing traveling and at a good speed straight down, dead straight. Only took a second at maximum, what I swore was the exact same orange as over the island which dove straight down close to us. It was closer than the horizon to us. It made no sound and didn't appear to hit the water. My mate described exactly the same thing.
Right before we got back to the car, we noted the orange light was now off into the distance. It was a bit duller and it was so far away I guess. But in the 10 or so minutes walk back to the car it had traveled the entire horizon line so it was no ship. It was not a meteor, it was hovering over the island and what went up. The orange was very vibrant. It did remind me of street lights around town but even more intense. I got back to Perth and joked to my sister, I saw a UFO. Before I could say anything more she said, "That's funny, I saw this orange thing and described it exactly the same way before I got a chance to tell her anything. She was 15kms from the beach.

Cloverdale, B. C. – On April 28, 2006, after midnight, a gentleman called into The Sean Leslie Show which was on CKNW radio to ask if anyone had reported an object hovering over the New Westminster area. The witness was out on his patio having a cup of tea. His neighbor and a few more watched the object. He believes the object was hovering over the hotel area down 6th street. There were three objects with lights laboring the objects, also observed was alternating light patterns and the fellow said he couldn't believe what he was seeing. This short report can be heard on the The Sean Leslie Show interview. http://www.hbccufo.org/videos/CKNWInterview.mp3
Hazelton, B. C. – Myself and two other friends were walking down to a local pub on April 29, 2006, Saturday morning about 12:30 am, and about half way down by the soccer field I was looking at the sky to the south and noticed some kind of green light rise up from over the mountain or trees like a flare, and originally I thought it was like some kind of fire work or green flare like a roman candle. All of a sudden it lit up the sky and it kind of silhouetted the clouds and then it went from east to west in like a second and disappeared. It was green and had a little bit of red on the bottom of it. I also thought it could be like one of those green meteors, but when I thought of it again, I haven't seen a meteor go from down to up then left to right in a matter of seconds. Thanks to Brian Vike http://www.hbccufo.org Ottawa, Ontario -- My husband spotted three lights, with two in front and one behind making somewhat of a triangle on May 6, 2006, just after 9 PM. They were orange pinkish in colour, (they reminded me of the highway lighting) quite bright and fairly large and round. We didn't see any connecting lines.We both wear glasses so lights may not look quite round to us. There were no blinking lights, nor red, nor green nor white. No resemblance to aircraft. They traveled from the NW to SE at a good speed and as they got further away they disappeared one by one. We couldn't hear any sounds from them like we can with other aircraft. We were standing on our front porch facing west and the lights were above the houses and we had to look up so I guess they were quite high up. If they had been in space then they were very big so I think they were within the paths that high flying jets take at least. My husband's idea was that it was a satellite that had just been launched from some country and we were seeing the two boosters and the satellite making their way into space. Parkland Area, Manitoba -- I just finally made it out to the lake on May 7, 2006, at 12:02 a.m, and decided to go to grab a bag of blankets from the RV and right in front of me was a elongated diamond light sitting in the western sky. It was the size of the moon. If you imagine the moon being shaped to that description of an elongated diamond it was similar to the one I had witnessed last August here, but there was a dark circle in the middle of it. It was very clear, very visible and so very out of place. I stared at it for about 4 or 5 seconds, suddenly there was a bright flash that lasted about 2 or 3 seconds. I quickly thought maybe it's a meteor or something burning up in the atmosphere, due to the intensity of the light, but I realized as it went back to it's original intensity, again that was not the case. As I already knew deep inside me. It sat there for another few seconds then it started upwards and towards the west in an instant. It was as small as a tiny star. I then followed it as it turned south for a second and shot up straight into space. Thanks to Brian Vike http://www.hbccufo.org |
