Illinois-07-09-08-I saw something else. They are getting CLOSER.
It was a light blue disk... with a yellow window in the center of it. It lit up right before my eyes, just to the south of me. It lit up like a fluorescent light, and then just shut off. This object was closer than anything I have ever seen before. The object was only visible for about one second, but I did get a picture of it.

North Carolina-07-06-08-On Sunday July, 6th 2008, My 2 friends and I were on our way back home after an outing. It was about 5:15 PM, and we were turning right onto Old Coleridge Rd off of Manor Rock RD., when we witnessed what looked like an enormous solid black V hovering in the shallow valley area, over the back side of the ridge I live on.
Sitting in the back seat was XXXX, she is a Federal Agent and she had a clear view of the object at hand. I was sitting in the passenger seat, and took the pictures through the vehicle since I still had my camera around my neck from taking pictures earlier in the afternoon. XXX was driving and didn't see anything but the road ahead! I've included the two photos that I took, once I realized we were seeing something unusual. I could see the objects as they began dispersing very quickly in different directions. XXXX was straining to see the larger object, to more closely identify it before losing sight because of the tree line. As we were rounding the bend in the road, I witnessed an object shooting away to the South at incredible speed, as we turned back into viewing range the large object was gone, but several smaller objects in various shapes and sizes appeared and disappeared as they dispersed in different directions. There was one bird in the air at the time. XXXX could not conclusively identify the large object. I believe that the valley behind my property is a "hot spot" for some reason. This is my first hardcore visual sighting of the object(s) that seem to be attracted to our area. [Editor's Note: I was contacted by the reporter of this report, and believe that she is a mature, sane, individual, and take her report as legitimate. Unfortunately, the objects can only be dimly seen in the large photograph.-B J]

Arizona-06-30-08-I was in Sedona visiting my brother and his fiancee. It's really hot there, so they wait until late evening to go out. We were driving to a place called Red Rock Crossing, and I was taking photos of the mountain landscapes out the window along our drive. I had my camera set to "sports," so it can capture images while moving without blurring them.
The next day, I uploaded my photos to my computer and was looking at them, to weed out the good shots and delete the crappy ones. Anyway, in one shot, I noticed a we had a diamond-shaped cloud, and a weird rectangle to the left with what looked like a rectangle shadow above it and to the right. I went into Photoshop and brought up the contrast to try to see the weird shapes more clearly, and cropped them. I emailed them to about 5 people, one who is an astronomer, and nobody knew what it was. Nobody knew. But, the last night of my trip, my brother had a party. I showed the photo to some locals and one guy told me to turn the photo sideways (landscape to the right) and zoom in to the diamond, because he said some "ships" fly sideways. Sure enough, it looks like a saucer! Also, I noticed more rectangles in the shot to the right. The upper right section and another one really low to the horizon on the right. There are some shadows of dots, but that might just be birds or something. Anyway, the diamond-shape object is clearly not a cloud. The craziest thing is I never even saw them when I took the photo. Of course, the window was down so I had wind in my eyes, and I wasn't looking for weird objects when I took the photo. After the party night, I couldn't sleep well and woke up from 2 "nightmares" because I was scared of aliens. I thought I saw people walking in the room I was staying in, but they were dreams. Sometimes I think I see people or weird see-through things in my room when I am in that weird realm between sleep and wakefulness. I have always been interested in UFO stuff, and had some dreams years and years ago, but honestly, I haven't thought about it in years, and I wasn't thinking about UFOs or aliens on this trip... until I saw the weird stuff. I can hardly believe I took that shot! So, please investigate the photos for yourself, and let me know what you find out. I can email you the original photo without the contrast and cropping. But I am at my friends house in Atlanta and my computer won't get online, so I had to send the email versions I emailed him from my trip.

Florida-07-11-2008-During the Pensacola Blues Air Show I was standing at the center of the crowd. Early in the show, about 35 minutes into the show, I was observing a biplane doing his maneuvers with much smoke.
Suddenly, I noticed this circular object and initially thought it was a smoke ring. The smoke from the biplane dissipated and the object remained the same size and shape moving slowly in an easterly direction. In the photos it appears to be on a slant. The last image I saw of it leveled off. It disappeared behind cloud cover. I showed my photo to several people and they claim to have seen it as well. I am a former crew chief, aircraft mechanic, on F-4's and I know what aircraft look like. This was something I have never seen before. What you see in the photo is what I saw with the naked eye. I took the photo because that's what I saw with the naked eye.

Colorado-08-21-06-I was climbing up Mt. Harvard in 2006. Once I passed the tree line, I turned around and took this photo of Mt. Yale.
At the time, I did not notice anything out of the ordinary, it wasn't until I got home and downloaded my pictures and looked at them in their full size, that I noticed this object in the photo. I thought the object was an aircaft at first, but I magnified the picture and cut out the object, and then noticed it was no identifiable aircraft.

Netherlands-07-04-08-[Editor's Note: There is some question as to what is being said in this report, but for the most part, it makes sense when the photograph is taken into account.]
There is a small spot on the photograph, please look on the left side. If you increase the size of the picture, you can see a disc-shaped object. I have never seen anything like this before. I don't know what it is, but it's no bird or plane... that's for sure.

Michigan-07-02-08-On July 2, 2008 at 3:00 PM, after being informed of severe thunderstorms about to enter the southwest area of Greenville, Michigan, I stepped outside with my Canon EOS 40D digital camera to catch some images of storm clouds and possibly some rotation from the approaching storm. I took several digital images of the storm clouds before being forced inside by the heavy rain and wind gusts from the storm. My only intensions were to capture digital images of the storm and nothing else. After the storm left the area, I took the CompactFlash card from my camera and inserted the card into my card reader in my computer. I downloaded the digital image files into Adobe Photoshop CS3 Bridge. I took the CompactFlash card out of the card reader and put the card back into my Canon EOS 40D camera and reformatted the CompactFlash card for storage of new digital images.
On the afternoon of July 5, 2008, I started to review the digital images from the storm from the afternoon of July 2, 2008. As I started to enlarge each digital image file, I noticed an odd object that appeared on the right side of the trees across from the condos near my apartment. I enlarged the object trying to see if I could make out what the object was. I sat at my computer and stared at my LCD display in total disbelief. Then I started to check other digital images taken about the same time and I found another object near the storm clouds in another file. I enlarged that one and found an object that appears to be coming out from one of the storm clouds. I had no intentions of trying to capture digital images of strange objects in the sky as my original intent was only to try to capture interesting cloud formations to send into one of our local television stations in our area. These photos are 100% original and we not altered in any way except for cropping and enlarging the images to try and determine what they actually were. I know this object is not a conventional aircraft anyone around this area has observed before. I have my own impression as what this object appears to be but as of now, I will not divulge my thoughts to anyone until further study has been completed.

Michigan-07-04-08-Five of us were walking down a road named Jean Anne, off Jewell, in Washington, MI, running East to West, looking out for fireworks, eyes to the sky. We were catching glimpses of these fireworks through trees and then we came to a clearing for a yard to get a good view when I saw an object in the sky. There was no blinking, just two lights. At first when I saw it moving from NE to SW, its size was about the size of an aspirin. The image I've included with this post looks like a saucer only because there was a separation of the light sources. They moved together, and the light intensity fanned out from the origin. As it got closer to us, I could see that there was a gap of some kind between them. It got bigger so I could tell. As for altitude, I'd say it was twice as high as most fireworks in the sky at the time. We all watched it, and looked back and forth between that and a typical airplane with a red blinking light way up, blinking really slow.

New York-08-12-07-This picture was taken over my beach front on the Great Sacandaga Lake, in NY. Within minutes of sending it to Brian Vike, he had received one almost the exact same from the UK- also over water. Then, I found another EXACTLY the same from Istanbul Turkey (just google UFO-Istanbul-Turkey on YOUTUBE to find it-it starts with a view of Istanbul from the ocean and appears at about 26 seconds).
My picture was taken with a Nikkon D200, the one on YOUTUBE was on video, so I don't think it's a camera defect. Also, the thing was not visible when the shot was taken, but strangely, here's the really strange part. I was contacted earlier that week by a gentlemen who said he saw an article I authored in UFO Magazine about a 1981 sighting I'd had outside Albany- of three orange-pinkish orbs or circles the size of the full moon, which rose from the horizon and made right angle turns and other weird maneuvers before heading- in a blink of an eye- out into space. (I've had others) Anyway, the guy sought me out because he said he had been seeing UFOs in Albany NY, one he said was manta-shaped, but turned up as a cloud when he took a photo. I was suspect of his sightings for several reasons, but to make a long story short, he also has a camp here on the lake and called me the day before this particular photo was taken- to tell me that he was also seeing and taking UFO shots here on the lake and was "vectoring in" the craft. I was ready to write him off mainly because he said an ET was watching him from the balcony across the street from his apartment, and because he also told me that the ETs were "aware of me"... then, the next day, shooting pictures on my beach, this turns up. Huh. Needless to say, I no longer throw out the baby with the bath water. I was amazed and am still, a year later, a little spooked. Thanks, Brett Allen-former PYX106 disc jockey with a number one show on the number one Albany NY radio station.
