READERS SIGHTINGS
This
page is dedicated to your sightings...
All of the following accounts are exclusive to this site.
I
live in the UK, about 4 miles outside of Gloucester at a place called Hucclecote.
On Tuesday 7th Dec, 1999 at 6.30 a.m. I saw an incredibly large craft near my
house while taking the dog for a walk. I first spotted a large white light that
had many different colours moving shimmering inside it (rather like an oil on
water effect). On closer inspection I noticed that what I at first thought was
a star formation behind the craft was in fact moving with it, yes, it was part
of the same craft. This thing was as big as an open daily newspaper at arms
length... we're talking at least 2ft across in the sky... The small lights were
flashing in sequence and appeared to be a pinkish orange colour. I could not
actually see any solid craft, but the lights that I assume were on its edges
were in a triangle shape, but flying with the point at the back!
This is not your normal triangle shape usually reported... I have tried to draw the object in the picture above. I have added the house so that you can see how large this craft was compared to an average sized house! I would estimate the object was approximately a mile above me and completely silent. I noticed that a guy was walking down the road towards me and he was staring at it too, we didn't at this point talk to each other (I think we were both too shocked at what we were observing) and he passed me and went down an alley (the funny thing is, my dog always barks at people approaching... but not on this occasion?... did he sense something too?). Anyway, after he passed I ran back home to get my brother out of bed to come see it... we went back outside and ran to a motorway bridge which is close to our house... and to my astonishment, this guy had actually doubled back to get a better look at the UFO from the bridge.. the craft by now was just moving over a hill which I guess is about 4-5 miles away from our house... it was still 3 inches wide at that distance... The other guy said he couldn't believe how big it was and that he couldnt hear any noise... that day reports were phoned into our local radio station. And I was told of reports in the local newspaper... although, oddly I couldn't find any of them?.
HAS ANYONE SEEN ANYTHING SIMILAR??? I
WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED TO KNOW
I HAVE
ALSO SEEN ANOTHER BIG UFO
I
would like to relate my very first UFO encounter to you, which got me interested
in UFOs. This sighting I had when I was about 8 which was around 1975 and we
were living at a house in a place called Hardwicke, which is about 4 miles out
of Gloucester City. One night I looked out of the lounge window and saw a red
light hovering.. didnt think much of it... until the next night...
I was looking at the local newspaper because my older brother and sister wouldn't
let me into their room because I had been mucking about..(my mum and dad were
out working at the time) and there on the front page was a story that said UFO's
had been spotted over the Forest of Dean which is about 10 miles from our house.
Remembering
what I had seen the night before, I decided to look out of the window again.
To my amazement I saw a huge craft coming over the field behind our house...
at this point I quickly ran to the room where my brother and sister were and
almost hammered the door down until they came out... we ran back into the lounge
and opened the french windows that led into the garden so that we could get
a better look... by this time the craft was almost directly overhead. This thing
was shaped like a flying hovercraft...with all the windows lit up and the lights
in the windows were revolving... it had a red light on one end and a white on
the other.. one at the back ..the other the front... we watched it slowly glide
over the house.. it was about 100ft above us and noiseless!!!
I would estimate the size of it to be at least the size of a football pitch... it gradually went over the roof so we decided to get a better look out the front of the house. I would like to point out that it would have taken approximately 5 seconds to run from one side of the house to the other. By the time we opened the front door... it had gone... no trace whatsoever and we could see quite a distance onto the horizon from there!!! This
This was my first ever UFO encounter, and I guess you could say that I was lucky that it was a mothership that I first encountered. Since then I have had numerous UFO encounters and would estimate that I have seen at least 20-30 to this day. Both myself, my brother and family also encountered ghosts and strange happenings at this house. I guess its true what they say, that people who attract UFOs also have numerous paranormal experiences??? How about you?

Hello Dave so pleased to
hear from you. I live in Essex England and have not seen anything like that.
But I will keep my eyes open. I hope that you don't mind but I have sent a copy
of your email onto my UFO Group for their attention. Keep looking and reporting
as you are not alone. Its people like you that I take my hat off to as not many
people bother to say anything in case of being ridiculed. I wished that we had
more like you. Good luck and many more sightings. My local UFO group is LUFOS
(London UFO Studies)
It is run by Roy Lake and the email address is:- ro-@lufos.freeserve.co.uk

I saw your sighting on the net, and would like to print it in Filer's Files
that go all the over world. We may be able to get someone else who saw it. I
chased one over England while in the US Air Force.

George Filer
Interestingly enough, 'Cosmic Conspiracies' was sent an Email from a guy called Eric Demaray in Michigan, USA, the very same week as this report was sent to us by 'The Citizen'. He too had photographed very similar spheres.

I live in Southend on Sea,
Essex, in the early summer of this year about May time I was at the sea front,
i was looking out towards the old sea wreck that lays in the middle of the Thames
Estuary, when i saw a silver ball that was sitting above the wreck, it didn't
move and was visible to me for about 30 to 40 minutes, at which point it just
seemed to fade away.
The ball itself appeared to be quite large and was sitting about fifty to one
hundred feet above the wreck, it also was clearly defined and very visible.
The weather that day was hot and there was a clear blue sky, but as i looked at the wreck the coast line off Kent was obscured by what i guess was a sea mist. I hope this report will be of interest to you, as it has rekindled my interest in the UFO phenomen, as has your excellent web site.
February 1965, the small town of Kent, Ohio, population around 25,000. Location of Kent State University. The town was immersed by a tremendous blizzard. Snow lay several feet (3-4 feet) deep. At about 6 PM in deep February twilight I was leaving my parents home which was on four acres situated on a hill at the far northern edge of what was known as University Heights. Between their home and the Heights lay several acres covered by brambles and horse trails. Pulling out of their driveway onto Lake Street heading west I happened to glance back up at the house. I noticed a brilliant white light descending into the deserted area behind the house. I stopped the car so my nine year old daughter and I could watch the descent. As it approached the horizon the bright white light dimmed and a ring of blue white light appeared below it until it slowly settled to the ground. Mentally estimating the distance and size of what I first thought might be meteor, I realized it had to be a controlled craft that had landed behind the house.
I raced home and called
my parents asking them to send my teenage brother out to check on
what was there. He was not home and they took it as a joke, my father refusing
to wade through the deep snow to verify what I saw. It didn't occur to me to
call the police, however I called a journalist for our local paper asking if
anyone else had reported seeing anything similar. He laughed asking if I was
sure it was not the moon....since the skies were crystal clear after this tremendous
storm. He asked if he could report the sighting...I said sure. A brief blurb
appeared in the Record Courier the following day. Amazingly....no one else saw
or bothered to report to them if they did see it. However, the exciting follow-up
is that while I am seeing what appeared to be a small 'scout' ship landing behind
the house, about 10 miles further north in a small burg called Shalersville
over 70 people from a local trailer park watched what appeared to be a large
cigar shaped 'mothership' hovering in the skies above them for over an hour.
During this time they saw small 'scout' ships exiting and entering the mother
ship. This was on the front page of the 'local news' published in the Akron
Beacon Journal the following day. Needless to say I felt vindicated and I wondered
how the reporter, who failed to follow up on my story, felt when he read the
in depth report in the competitors paper?
During the next 20 or so years I saw evidence of continued UFO activity in this area with an actual landing of one of the mother ships taking place in a rural village called Brimfield, and witnessed by two cars-full of drivers who happened to be passing the site while driving on Route 18. I lived on Old Forge Road in Brimfield between the years 1975-1978. My bedroom sliders and deck faced south so when retiring at night I could clearly see these craft flying a regular east-west route on what appeared to be some kind of a schedule. There was a theory at that time that there was an underwater base for these craft located in the Berlin Reservoir. I am a licensed pilot in single engine aircraft with some time accumulated in twins and instrument flying.
While reading another report on your page about cloud UFOs (see below) it reminded me of another incident that happened in 1951, while honeymooning in Florida. We were lounging on a deserted east coast beach and observed a small cumulus cloud approaching at a very low altitude. It followed the coast line closely and it drew our attention because there were no other clouds anywhere in the vicinity. As it neared us we noticed that, although there was no wind, the cloud itself was roiling and swirling internally and we began to hear clanging and banging coming from within the cloud. Really sounded like someone making repairs to a mechanical metal object. We were never able to see into the cloud but watched it continue it's slow deliberate pace south down the coastline. Radio newscasts later that day carried humorous reports from numerous people on this noisy little cloud as it progressed down the coastline of the state to Miami and the Keys. The following day newspaper reports appeared...but there was no indication of it ever being 'checked out' by any authorities. Some one knew something I'm sure.
My most recent sighting
occured about 7 or 8 years ago while driving by the Canton/Akron
Airport on interstate 76. It was verified by radio reports of the tower radar
picking up an unidentified craft near the airport demonstrating unknown aeronautical
maneuvers in the area for well over an hour. Whoever they are it appears they
do want us to know they are here. Since that time I live amongst towering trees
and have not been doing much flying...so don't seem in a position to do any
more spotting. Darn!!!

I have a UFO story, well
I dont actually know what it was, maybe you can help me.?
When I was about 9 years old I was on the top bunk in my bedroom. It was a round
9 pm or so. I was facing the bedroom window as I hadnt been in bed long and
wasnt sleepy. From my bedroom window the view was boring, just the side of another
house and an alley way the street light was about 3 house's further up. (The
address was 13 Meadow Dell, Hatfield, Herts.) Basically it was very dark and
not much to be seen.
This particular night I saw a huge yellow/orange ball, like the sun. It filled up almost all the window. I looked at it for a very short period of time as, understandibly, I was absolutely shit scared. I dived under my covers and STAYED there. I dont know how long it was before I looked back up, but I never saw it again. The reason I looked at your site is because Ive been watching alot of UFO stuff on Sky just recently, and this glowing ball thing was mentioned and it jogged my memory. It was a very frightening experience for me.
Red
Glowing Moon-Sized UFO Spotted
Here is an account of the UFO's which I have seen
On November 5th, 1990 at approx. 1 am, I was getting ready to go to bed for the evening. My husband, children, and my sister who was visiting, had already turned in for the evening. I had been watching an "Elvira Mistress of the Dark" movie with my brother-inlaw, when I looked up at the clock. Realizing it was way past my bedtime I got up to lock the sliding glass doors to our balcony. At the time we were living on the 10th floor of an apt. building, and as I had young chidren it was my habit to make sure those doors were locked. I will also mention this apartment had a SSE exposure with a clear view of Lake Ontario, and the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station. As I went to lock the door I observed a large, red, glowing orb. It was like nothing I had ever seen before. In my pyjamas I stepped out onto the balcony. I noted that the orb seemed to be in the vicinity of the nuclear power plant. My mind raced with all the possibilities, a plane, a search light, quickly discounting each. I yelled out for my brother in law who was at my side in seconds. I was yelling "what is it, what is it"?!! He started yelling "it's a UFO". He had grabbed my arm, and I glanced down to see gooseflesh. Almost immediately after he said that, the full moon sized orb, began to pulsate. And for some inexplicable reason, for which I cannot fathom I said "they know we can see them". I include this statement despite the fact it goes against my credibility as a witness. There are too many others who have come forward with their experiences, for me to lack the bravery to be completely truthful with my recounting of this event. After the pulsating the UFO which appeared octagon in shape imploded on itself, turning to a speck, and shooting straight up. At this point my brother in law's memory and mine differ. He says he saw the orb implode, but not shoot up into the sky. I cannot explain the difference in our memories. I looked down towards the street and saw a single car driving eastward. I remember thinking we cannot be alone in seeing this. We went inside, and sat up in the kitchen discussing everything within our own experiences that could rationally explain what we had witnessed (despite my strange comment of a "them").. We were up until 4 am. and I ran back to the sliding glass doors a few times that night to see if the orb had returned. It didn't, nor have we ever seen anything like it since.
Click Here For MUFON's Investigation into our UFO sighting.................... My brother in law and I failed to report our sighting immediately. We both were afraid of, nor did not want to put up with ridicule. This was a big mistake. While events such as what we experienced tend to be burned into the brain, time has a way of diminishing the memory. Who knows what small seemingly insignificant detail could be lost, that actually maybe of great importance to an investigator. Fear of ridicule should never be a factor in what may prove to be the greatest discovery in our history, the existence of intelligent, extraterrestrial life forms!
This is another strange sighting I had with my husband. In this case I believe it was a man-made aircraft. In Oct. 1998, early evening, my husband and I were pulling into a Wal-Mart parking lot. We both observed a strange light approaching us from the west. We determined it was a plane, however as we got out of our vehicle we continued to watch it's approach. As it flew over head at a fairly low altitude, we observed it was about the size of a 727, with a v-wing, and completely soundless!! At the altitude this aircraft was flying the sound should have been quite loud. We watched as this aircraft continued on it's eastward course. When it was finally out of view we continued on to our shopping, puzzled by what we had seen. I should mention that others in the parking lot began to stare upwards as we did. I estimate this aircraft was observed by at least 20 others. To date I have no explanation for it. I speculate it could have been an experimental, military in origin, aircraft. If so than who's? And with what technology? Remember it was completely soundless at a low altitude. And finally what was it doing flying over a large urban centre? I would now like to take the opportunity to thank, and acknowledge MUFON investigator Todd Lemire for his investigation of our orb sighting. Thank you Todd for your hard work, and dedication while researching this truly astounding phenomenon that we witnessed. Your professionalism, and ethics while conducting this investigation are not only apparent, but gratefully appreciated. Thank you very much! I believe that it will be through the efforts of forward thinking persons such as Mr. Lemire that we will finally have the answers to the enigma that is the UFO phenomenon.
Thanks,
Sue.
I wanted only to run up
stairs and get my binoculars so I could get a better look. It was very hard
to see,even though it was only about thirty feet above me. I could only see
the lights.I rounded the corner of the building only to see another object coming
towards me from another direction.This one was round,and glowing red and very,
very low. I ran up stairs and grabbed my husband,and went out on the balcony.
I saw the object that followed me home again,glide by
my balcony with no sound, and disappear into the night sky. I don't know what
happened to the red one.The sight of that thing scared me,and I got out of there.The
funny thing about it,was my husband didn't remember anything about it the next
day.There didn't seem to be any missing time either. At the time I was involved
in a ufo group,and that's where I had been that night. Dr.Steven Greer had been
our guest speaker that night!
Sincerely asstar
For more than a quarter
century I have been a seriousstudent/observer of the UFO phenomena. Indeed it
has been a lifelong interest, since I first heard about them as a child. Along
the way the
knowledge of space ships hiding in clouds, or more correctly stated, creating
a cloud around itself to camouflage it, came to me. Since I heard of it from
only one source, I simply "shelfed" the info. The day came when I
learned from personal experience the overwhelming reality of it!
I live in the middle of the North American continent, state of Minnesota, USA, and had done some flying of small planes and hot air balloons earlier in life, which necessitated the learning of weather, cloud formations, behavior, etc. This all came in handy one January first a few years ago while driving on a long trip from Denver, Colorado to Santa Fe, New Mexico along interstate highway 25. We were on our way from Minnesota to Arizona for a winter vacation.
The land in that region is flat and deserty with "gum drop shaped" outcroppings of small mountains just jutting up from the desert floor. While driving along just enjoying this scenery, I noted two such "mountains" directly ahead of me several miles. Suddenly I saw a most beautiful lenticular cloud just hanging off the edge, or upper lip, of this hill, in an otherwise clear sky!? I immediately became suspicious and fastened my attention on it. Sure enough, after a couple minutes this "cloud" began to drift away from the hill, and as it did, it changed from a lenticular cloud to a cumulous cloud! This was getting VERY EXCITING!
It began to drift over to my right and appear to be coming our way. My wife and toddler were in the car too, so pointed it out to her soshe could watch also. I had long been a "believer" and understood that these intelligent people commonly communicate telepathically. Itis the universal language, you know! So I sent my messages to them , telling them that I knew they could receive mine, but unfortunately I could not receive theirs. I stopped and even took a couple of pictures, which turned out to be meaningless as it was just a simple 35mm camera.
We continued on, and finally it was directly to our right. Suddenly we came upon a town which had a lot of trees around it so lost sight of it. The road took us around the edge of town and we noticed the towncenter was down in a valley, while we were high over it. Suddenly I saw my "ship" hovering low over the town center. Couldn't help wondering what they were doing so low over the city! Well the treesgot in the way again and as we left town we decided to stop at a small cafe for a break. I thought that was the end of it, and was thankfulfor that much.
About a half hour later we were back on the road, screaming south at 60 miles per hour. After a while I happened to look directly off to the right and was about shocked to see my "cloud" right along side us again! And drifting along at exactly our own speed! What a coincidence! What luck! It was perhaps about 500 to 1000 feet up. The size of the cloud was difficult to judge, but I could imagine a shipseveral times the size of a Boeing 747 in there. We never saw any hardware, but the cloud formation shifted in details constantly, but held the same general configuration. What was inside could have been saucer shaped, or cigar shaped. Or who knows what?!
Soon our toddler had to make a potty stop so we looked for a place. A road side rest stop conveniently came up, so I pulled in. The parkinglot was empty (maybe something to do with the New Year holiday) so I had no problem lining the car up just right so I could watch my "cloud" drift down the countryside and out of sight. I immediately set up reference points on the horizon to watch it's progress. They wentin and I watched. Guess what! IT ALSO STOPPED! I could hardly believe it! Double checked my references. Sure enough! There it hung. Wouldn't move a bit. A cloud just hanging in one spot, while the upper layers of clouds were moving along at a good clip. It had clouded over since first seeing this thing, which always stayed below the lowest cloud layer during the five hours this episode lasted. Andalong the many hundreds of miles traveled that afternoon, the sky changed several times from clear to overcast, and partly cloudy. At clear times we often saw many jet vapor trails criss crossing the sky. But this thing was always definitely under control and stayed close to the ground.
Back at the parking lot I watched and waited. Waited and watched. What's taking them so long? I thought they both fell in. A potty stop should only take a few minutes. It's been 20 minutes or so already! Iwent to check. No big deal, just a constipation problem it seemed. First time in his life I think. Strange, I thought. Oh well, thatgave me more time to watch my stationary cloud in the sky. I wondered if anyone else was seeing it. No, people just don't pay any attentionto the sky and it's clouds. What a fantastic cover for them! To be soclose, snoop around, and never be even suspected!
They finally came out and we hit the road again, heading south at 60 miles per hour. And so did my cloud! It settled in it's track along side our car, maintaining the same speed we kept. We needed to make about 6 or 7 hundred miles that day, so we just kept driving. This thing took up a position so I could see it in the lower portion of mywindshield as we drove along, and that is where it kept itself for the next 150 miles down the road! For that last 3 hours I could alwaysspot it there, until it got so dark nothing could be seen!
I felt as though "they" were honoring me for my recognition of them after stumbling onto this sighting. However, in reflecting back overthe event, and in light of other things that have taken place in my life, I am more and more convinced that this event was probably a "set up", a personal experience meant for me. It was an "out in the open" event, but all in all, basically a private one as well. I am not aware off anyone else being aware of what we were experiencing, due to the nature of it.
So there it is. Believe it or not. I know what I saw and experienced. Perhaps my story will inspire others to "watch the clouds"! You neverknow what you might see!

Here is a very interesting letter we had from a UFO Research Group in the Ukraine
Dear Dave,
My name is Alexander Beletsky. I am Vice-Director of Research Institute on Anomalous
Phenomena (RIAP) - an independent scientific-research body, established in Kharkov
(Ukraine) a few years ago. We aim at scientific studies in the fields of the
UFO problem and the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) question.
The Institute makes its investigations in close collaboration with the CIS Academy
of Cosmonautics and Russian Academy of Sciences. Please find here attached (as
Appendix I) a RIAP Information Leaflet, describing the Institute's research
programs in some detail.
To inform the international ufological community about the results of investigations that are conducted by RIAP specialists and other scientists in the territory of the former Soviet Union, we started, in 1994, a special periodical: newsletter RIAP Bulletin (RB). It is the ONLY serious anomalistic periodical in the Commonwealth of Independent States published IN ENGLISH. They appear in RB research articles, short communications, book reviews, letters to the Editor, etc.
RB Vol. 1, Nos. 1-4 - Vol.
4, Nos. 1-4 have been printed and sent to subscribers. They contain, in particular,
the papers "Post-Soviet Ufology: a View from Inside" and "Alternative
Science?", by
V.V.Rubtsov; "UFOs as Objects of Study by Terrestrial Physics", by
V.A.Buerakov; "Search for Alien Artifacts on the Moon: A Justification",
by A.V.Arkhipov; "UFOs: a Possible Mechanism of
Formation, Behavior and Environmental Impact", by V.I.Mazhuga; "The
Petrozavodsk Phenomenon", by L.M.Gindilis & Y.K.Kolpakov; "The
Black Ball: a Supposed Extraterrestrial Artifact", by V.N.Fomenko; "A
Second UFO Landing on the River Mzha", by a group of RIAP scientists, and
others. We have also published the first really comprehensive survey of anomalous
features of the famous Tunguska explosion ("The Tunguska Meteorite: A Dead-Lock
or the Start of a New Stage of Inquiry?"), written by the leading Russian
specialist in this problem - Nikolay V. Vasilyev, Member of Academy.
RIAP Bulletin is published four times per year. Subscription rates: a life-long subscription - $100; 12 issues (three years) - $50; 8 issues (two years) - $35; 4 issues (one year) - $20. Airmail postage included. Back issues are still available in limited quantities ($5 per issue, $50 a whole set - eleven issues).
If you are interested in subscribing to RIAP Bulletin, please let me know. I and my colleagues would be happy to inform you about advances and prospects of ufological studies in this part of the world. There will appear in the next RB issues, in particular, the following papers: "A Possible Genetic Trace of the Tunguska Catastrophe of 1908", by Y.G.Rychkov; "UFOs: False and Genuine", by the Russian academic UFO expert Y.V.Platov; "Did the Maori Know About the Rings of Jupiter?", by Y.N.Morozov, and many others.
With all my best wishes and warmest regards, I remain,
Sincerely yours, Alexander V. Beletsky, M.A., Vice-Director, RIAP
Appendix I
RESEARCH INSTITUTE ON ANOMALOUS PHENOMENA, Kharkov, Ukraine
The principal trends of researches of the institute in the UFO field are as follows: creation of an efficient system of reconstruction of a real anomalous event on the basis of witnesses' testimonies; formation of a unified CIS UFO data base (in collaboration with the Expert Group on Anomalous Atmospheric Phenomena of the Russian Academy of Sciences) and a computer expert system to identify genuine UFOs (GUFOs); development of physical models of GUFOs; monitoring of a place of recurrent UFO landings on the river Mzha, near Kharkov; studies in the hidden history of Soviet ufology.
In the SETI field, there was realized, under the guidance of Alexey V. Arkhipov, phase I of the program "Search for Alien Artifacts on the Moon" (SAAM) and its results were presented on the pages of RIAP Bulletin. Besides, we have been examining some enigmatic finds that can be considered candidate extraterrestrial artifacts (ancient, or not so ancient). These are the so-called "Kassimov ball" - a small (diameter some 4.5 cm) black ball of unknown origin, found in Central Russia in 1983 on the depth 7 meters, in a layer of pure red clay, - and the remains of a strange object that obviously originated from space and fell down near Kharkov in 1994 (judging from its chemical composition, it is neither a meteorite, nor terrestrial space junk).
The institute pays considerable attention to the problem of the Tunguska explosion of 1908. We are studying statistical parameters of the forest fall area, as well as the biogeochemical elemental and isotopic anomalies and population-genetic effects, revealed in the area of the catastrophe. A state-of-the-art collection of research papers on the Tunguska problem is now under preparation.
The Scientific Council
and Advisory Board of the Institute include such Russian and Ukrainian specialists
in the UFO problem and SETI field as Dr. E.A.Ermilov (specialist in radio detection
of
aerial anomalous phenomena), Dr. V.N.Fomenko (investigator of the famous Vashka
find, as well as other supposed ET artifacts), Y.A.Fomin (doyen of UFO studies
in Russia), Dr. L.M.Gindilis (astronomer and SETI expert), Dr. Y.V.Platov (Vice-Chairman
of the Academic UFO Study Group), Dr. V.K.Zhuravlev (investigator of the Tunguska
explosion), and others. The Advisory Board comprehends also a group of well-known
Western scientists, scholars and engineers - V.-J.Ballester Olmos (Spain), Dr.
T.E.Bullard (USA), Dr. R.F.Haines (USA), Dr. A.Meessen (Belgium), et al. Dr.
Vladimr V. Rubtsov, Full Member of the CIS Academy of Cosmonautics and one of
pioneers of ufological studies in the former USSR, is Director of RIAP.
