Mrs.
Christine Beech, 62, of Cherry Tree Close, Golcar, saw two unidentified flying objects flying overhead at 12:35 a.m. on Wednesday,"
December 31, 2003, after she stayed up to watch a late-night film. “ I was looking towards Longwood Edge when I saw
a circular yellow thing that came over the horizon, followed by another one,” she said.
It started moving towards
where I live, the first one came and turned round and went back over the horizon, then the other one came over the house,
and I do not know where it went.”
Mrs. Beech's husband, Brian, and daughter Bev also witnessed the craft after
she called them to the window. “It was not an aeroplane because we see a lot of those, as we are on the flight path
to Manchester,” said Mrs. Beech. “They were a golden orange colour, illuminated all over and shaped rather like
a squashed sphere, like a child's spinning top.”
Mrs. Beech said the craft were moving fast and looked as thought
they had come over from Lindley and Salendine Nook.
She heard no engine and thought they were not very high in the
sky. “I definitely knew what I saw and it was something I have never seen before,” she added.
Mr. Malcolm
Stapp, 74, of Salendine Nook, was the first person to tell the Examiner of the strange craft he had witnessed on Monday morning,
December 29, 2003, “which seemed very similar to Mrs. Beech's account.” (For more, see UFO Roundup, volume 9,
number 1 for January 7, 2004, "First panthers, now UFOs--the Huddersfield mystery," page 3.)
Mrs. Gloria Gill, of High
Green, Lepton, also reports seeing an unusual aircraft early on Tuesday morning, December 30, 2003, after she was watching
a film at 12:30 a.m.
“I thought it was a plane coming in too low because we are on a few flight paths here,”
she said. “But as I watched it, it was not moving, it was just hovering. I opened a window but could not hear an engine.”
“It
hovered for about a half hour over the houses in Rowley Lane, then went back towards Woodsome. I saw one half an hour later
over Woodsome.

A Post Office
worker in Leeds, West Yorkshire, was on his way to work on Sunday morning, 28th December 2003, just before 8am. Living in
Bramley, a suburb of the city. He was driving down Armley Road close to the prison. Looking towards the southwest of the city
towards Morley, he noticed in the distance, a strange object in the early morning sky. He described a shapeless object, dark
in colour with no visible lights or audible sound (he was in his car at the time). “ It was sort of like an eighth moon
with a piece missing, it just looked really odd and I felt as though what I was looking at was not normal.” The sighting
only lasted for a short time as the Post Office worker had to turn off the main road to get to his office, and on this part
of his journey the view was obscured by buildings. However, before losing sight of this strange object he saw an aircraft
(could have been a helicopter but it was too far away to be sure) approach the shape “as if it was checking it out”.
On arriving to his place of work he scoured the skies but could see nothing. Whatever he saw left a lasting impression of
strangeness with him.

Rosario
Argentina
A UFO was seen
on December 27, 2003, between 1 a.m. and 1:30 a.m. in the barrio El Patio de la Madera (neighbourhood) of the city of Rosario,
250 kilometres (150 miles) northwest of Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina.
“The luminous object travelled
from west to east at a speed similar to that of an airliner. Upon seeing the object, the witness ran for his camcorder but
couldn't find a free tape, so he chose not to waste any more time and used his digital camera, instead.”
"Rosario
is less than 60 kilometres (36 miles) from Victoria in the province of Entre Rios, which is famous for sightings of lights
similar to the UFO seen on Saturday."
“A fisherman recognized the object and said that it was identical to others
he had seen in the past over the same area.”

Three
police officers who say a strange object drifted through the skies of Huntington, Indiana (population 17,450) are trying to
find someone else who saw it--whatever it was.
Officer Chip Olinger was warming up his car Friday, December 26, 2003,
when he reported seeing a circular object in the sky and radioed Officers Greg Hedrick and Randy Hoover, who also saw it.
All
three say they watched as the object moved out of the northwest, drifted toward a church steeple, then shot straight ahead
north without a sound in an encounter that lasted less than a minute about 2:30 p.m.
The trio described the object
as about the size of a hot-air balloon or a backyard trampoline. They said it was low enough in the sky that Olinger thought
it might crash into the steeple. They say it stopped a few times and spinned slowly; changing shapes and, at one point, turned
orange, probably from reflected sunlight.
It wasn't any kind of flying saucer I can think of,' Olinger told the Herald-Press,
'and it wasn't like a '50s flying saucer. It was this big, but it didn't have a bulge in the middle.'
As unusual as
their sighting was, the three officers may have been the only witnesses. No one called city, county or Indiana State Police
to report it.
And, for a few days, they didn't say anything about it.
We thought people would think we were
crazy,' Hoover said.
But now, the officers wonder if anyone else saw it and are hoping they come forward with their
own accounts.
Diane Redlich, a manager at Huntington Municipal Airport, said several aircraft took off from the airport
that afternoon, but there's no record of any out-of-the- ordinary craft making either a takeoff or a landing at Huntington.
Bill
Scott at Fort Wayne's Smith Field doesn't have any clues, either. 'Other than Santa Claus heading home, I don't know what
it could have been,' he said.
Huntington, Ind. is located at the junction of Highways 5 and 224 about 105 miles (168
kilometres) northeast of Indianapolis, the state capital.

WEST DUBLIN, N.S. --
The object was heading northwest, up the LaHave River toward Bridgewater, on December 17, 2003, at 11:30 AM. The object witnessed
by two 40-year-old males was described as shuttle shaped, but flying upside down with something, perhaps a rudder, pointing
downward. The object was triangular shaped and reflecting sunlight. It was observed for ten minutes, moving quite slowly and
across the wind [easterly] and estimated at 7,500 feet and crossed over the witnesses. It was the size of a dime at arms length.
No sound.

A witness called and reported seeing
more bright green lights in the area. This witness tells me that the light was very low in the sky and travelling in a straight
line for a short distance then made a slight change in direction heading to the north. The object appeared in the sky for
approx: 8 seconds before the witness lost sight of it. He told me due to how low it was flying and so very bright he thought
it was very odd looking. He told a friend, and his friend told him to contact me to file a report.

The witness was driving from Dublin to Wexford on Monday 3 November 2003, at around 5pm. It was a beautiful evening,
the sun had only just gone down below the horizon and there wasn’t a single cloud in the sky, but the remaining daylight
made it impossible to observe any stars at this time. He observed two airliners through his car windscreen, one following
the other. It was there contrails that first caught his eye illuminated by the setting sun. “Then, away to the left
of the aircraft, another bright object caught my attention. I stopped the car to get out and have a closer look. I had a pair
of binoculars in the car and grabbed them. What I saw was an object, as large as life, and a shape I had never seen before.
It was stationary and it looked to me like a typical flying saucer. I got a good view, so I was able to draw what I clearly
observed. I watched the object for about 15 seconds and then it just gradually faded away. The two aircrafts crew must have
seen the object as well.

About 8:30 PM, on Wednesday night October
15, 2003, a father and daughter were setting up their telescope when she noticed a bright light. It was below and to the left
of Mars and shining slightly brighter. I looked in my software (The Sky) to verify that there was not a star that bright in
that area so I set up my telescope to photograph the object. It then disappeared, but almost immediately we then noticed some
red/blue blinking lights approaching out of the east. As they got closer we could tell that there were eight planes flying
two abreast. Two continued heading west, two circled around overhead for 30 minutes, two went south, and two more went north.

On the Morning of 4 October 2003, a farmer
reported that a strange crop formation was discovered. His brother-in-law found a 10-foot square of cut corn in the middle
of the pasture. The square was perfectly cut all the way to the ground. The site showed no signs of footprints, tracks or
other machinery indentations in the area. All the corncobs had been removed and placed in the ground standing up to form a
pattern. The farmer stated it looked like an 18 or 81 with one being significantly smaller then the eight. The farmer also
stated that by looking at it from other angles it puts the eight on its side as to appear like a symbol of infinity.

Tuesday night, September 30, 2003, a young couple
witnessed three strange objects in the crystal-clear sky. After a visit to the pizzeria, the couple walked back home. The
male witness states: "Around 9 PM, we left the pizzeria and were walking when I saw a huge bright fierce light, three times
brighter than Mars. The continuous light moved in a straight line and after 15 seconds it gained altitude at high speed it
became smaller and disappeared. Then two flying triangles approached, one from one direction and one from the opposite direction.
These black objects had pulsating white lights that were not like airplane lights. They dimmed from bright to a weak light.
As we watched we saw two massive triangles with lights on each corner approach and move exactly to the spot where the bright
light disappeared into space. They hovered for some time, and next flew back to the direction where they came from. It was
very frightening.

On Monday, September 29, 2003, at 8:30 p.m., eyewitness A.W. noticed a strange object in the night sky over Amsterdam,
capital of the Netherlands, which she described as "bigger than Mars and bright white.” It did not flash and was a continuous
light. An aircraft approached from the southeast, and the object departed to the northeast. The light moved faster and disappeared
when the aircraft was nearing it.” After the aircraft was out of sight, two small lights suddenly appeared where the
large light had disappeared. They flew in a northwesterly direction, parallel. The top one was a little in front of the one
below. They flashed white simultaneously, then nothing and then red.” An hour later, I was casually looking out the
window and saw another pair of flashing red and white lights flying from the northwest to the southeast. These faded as an
aircraft entered the vicinity and became brighter once the aircraft had flown by.” Ten seconds later, they just vanished.
Not 40 seconds later, two more of the same lights appeared, following the same direction as the previous two. I called to
Tom to have a look. All of them made no noise at all."

Sighting: just outside Bangor in North Wales near Menai Bridge,
on 27/09/03 at about 2-am. The witness reported, “We were leaving our accommodation to drive back to London. As we got
outside we saw a light in the sky it was in the shape of circle formed by several (8 - 12) eye shaped lights.
At first it seemed like a projection from the ground and
it was moving away from us towards a field and then it would come back until directly on top of us. The size of the circle
would get smaller and larger as it moved back and forth, (almost pulsating) but not rhythmically. After discussion (3 of us)
we decided it must be a projection although it was so close and we were in the country and could not explain where it was
coming from, we decided to get in the car and go. As we travelled down the road i was watching the light and to my amazement
i was sure it was moving with us, even following us. I screamed at my friend to stop the car further down the road (at least
half a mile) and we stopped in a pub car park. The circle had definitely moved and was directly above our car. We watched
for several minutes convinced that this was definitely something ‘abnormal’, and then with a blink it disappeared.
I am convinced we have seen 'something', has anybody else
seen this shape/type before or that night?

Highway 13, 12 miles south of Warrensburg near
the intersection of Highway 2.

Numerous vehicles pulled off to the side of
the road and witnessed a parallel set of six bright amber lights that arched over about 100 feet in the air. Witnesses stated
that over 20 cars had pulled off to the side of the road and witnessed this event. Oddly enough, not one of the witnesses
talked among themselves after the UFO departed. They just got back in their cars and drove off.
Another report was
submitted to UFOMIG.com about this same sighting. The witness stated a round, brightly lighted UFO, flying over a field suddenly
zoomed over and stopping above my car. A bright yellow spotlight came underneath the UFO as the witness looked through his
windshield. He went on to say that the UFO was as large as a house. The spotlight moved back and forth across the road as
the UFO swayed in the same manner. The UFO moved so unusual that made it stunning to watch. An approaching car in the other
direction then stopped in front of the spotlight. Both drivers watched as the UFO slowly backed over the field again, only
to disappear when the light on it blinked out. Again the drivers drove away without discussing their sighting.

the general location is just North of Main street on the East side of 110 and South of the train tracks. My boy was sledding
in the snow and I was taking pictures. It was in the evening and was starting to get dark pretty quickly. My son pointed up
to the sky and we noticed some lights’ coming in from what I believe is the southwest
At that point I just pointed the camera up
and took the shots. The object really gave me the impression of a balloon - except for the lights. They seemed to cycle all
different patterns. The object passed almost directly overhead and then headed south towards the train tracks. As the object passed I could make out more of a disk shape than a balloon shape. I just remember my son asking me over
and over what it was and I didn't have a clue.”

Residents in Wishaw, Scotland, reported a UFO sighting to
their local newspaper (The Wishaw Press). They reported a green light in the sky, above Craigneuk on Monday September 8, at
around 9:30pm. The green light had been seen in the sky, at a height of around 400 feet, before shooting off into the Muirhouse
direction. Two witnesses, Rose Gilespie and Marion Vance were travelling by car when they spotted the green light in the sky,
they read about the sighting in the Wishaw Press, which was published on September 19 and contacted them with their sighting.
Mrs Vance said “ We were coming down from Grangemouth on Monday evening. We were about two miles from Auchenkillen roundabout
near Cleland. My friend saw it first, then said ‘ what’s that?’, then I looked up. It just flew right across
in front of us, then dropped down a bit, and went out of sight. It was very bright green, very fast, and a bit scary. Never
in my life have I seen anything like that”.
Another Craigneuk resident, who asked not to be named, also
saw the green light. He said, “ My dog ran across the road to a neighbours house. The hackles were up on his back, and
then I looked up. It was dark, but there was this bright green light-it wasn’t pulsating or anything, but it was a bit
of a shocker.”

Monterey Park, CA, residents saw a red shimmering light in the southern skies overnight,
only they believed it wasn't the planet Mars but a UFO. Monterey Park police received a couple of calls about an unidentified
flying object, as did local television stations and nearby Montebello police, which also fielded about a dozen calls about
the same time last week.
The flickering, saucer-shaped light hovered and zigzagged from the southwest to the northwest,
said resident Irma Corza, who saw the first UFO about 10:30 last
night with other family members. The first light made a flash and disappeared, but then another object showed up, and then
a third around 11p.m., she said. That object, she said, was flat and red and shimmered in the night sky, which is not unlike
how astronomers have described the planet Mars, which is the closest to Earth that it has been in thousands of years. But
Corza noted that planets don't zigzag.
She said they watched the UFO through a telescope and captured it on video. "It's
the most amazing thing," Corza said of the image she captured with her video camera.
"It looked like a," she paused, "saucer, and it's just turning and turning. It goes brighter and then it fades a little and
then it gets brighter again." "in the frame it's just moving, zigzagging, moving in a circle. It comes toward the video camera
and then pulls away. Then it gets really bright and disappears." When asked what she thought it might be, she said "a UFO." She said the first object was in the sky for about 20 minutes
and the last one for about 30 minutes.
She said about seven members of her family plus two neighbours saw the UFO, as
did a friend from San Gabriel who also shot video of the object. She said it looked like a coin on its side spinning around,
while her friend said he saw something flying beneath it. Monterey Park police got two calls about a light in the sky, said
Monterey Park police Sgt. Pete Pigulsawas. The callers said they saw a red marking glow in the sky, he said. The dispatchers
who received the two calls "went out to look and saw nothing in the sky," he said, so no police were dispatched.
KCAL9
also got about 10 calls regarding a UFO from the Montebello area the same time last weekend, said the station's Ernest Kung.
Montebello police also received a couple of calls about an odd light in the sky last night, plus 8-10 calls about the same
time last week, said Lt. Greg Wilsey. He said a couple of Montebello officers responding to the reports last weekend looked
up in the sky and saw a red light that moved "straight up and faded away." "They had absolutely no idea what it was," he said.

Witness Roy Fielding reported: I am just writing to report
a sighting by my wife and I today at about 5.15pm. I am reporting in the hope that somebody else also witnessed this sighting.
The sky was bright and sunny, with patchy clouds.
My wife had just picked me up from work in Cheadle, Cheshire
and we then headed down towards Stockport in the car. After a couple of minutes, my wife spotted something unusual in the
sky. I also looked and could see a rod shape in the sky.
The rod was initially looking a matte pencil-lead colour
and was about 30 to 40 degrees up at quite a distance. After a couple of minutes, it got closer and I assumed it was about
the size of a passenger jet.
The motion of the rod was unusual and didn't seem to have
any normal pattern. It just hovered to and fro at a steady pace, changes direction at times and sometimes just hovering, but
re-orienting on the spot. At one point, the object tilted and turned, which created a bright reflective glint to pass over
it as it reflect the sun. This made the object's normally matte looking surface appear more metallic.
My wife and I were engrossed and knew this was not any conventional
craft. At it's closest (still probably a mile or two away) we could see no makings, protrusions or trails. The object simply
looked like a rod in the sky. We tried to follow the object, heading into Stockport, but we lost it as we approached the main
roundabout in Stockport (near the big Blue Pyramid building (Co-Operative)).
We did some frantic searching until we spotted the object
again. This time the object seemed to have ascended and was further away, heading in the direction of Longdendale\Glossop.
The object seemed to be going above cloud level, but remained clear of the clouds that were dotted around for a few minutes.
We tried to track the object further, by heading down the
M60 (towards Glossop) but the object just got away to far and high. We lost it after about 10 to 15 minutes of trying to track
it.
This is by far the most exciting thing I've seen and really
got my wife and I fired up. Some other people MUST have seen this object too.
So, there you go. My sighting and I hope some other people
will report it and also, that some of you find it interesting.

Argentina
A wave of UFO sightings, coupled with unprecedented levels of animal mutilation reports are emerging
from Argentina. Two rural cattlemen, Manuel Alesso and Rual Blengio, reported seeing UFOs near Arroyo Venado, Buenos Aires.
Mr. Blengio said he was certain they have something to do with the cattle mutilations. At 9:30pm on 6 July, 25 people in the
village of Carmen de Patagones, Patagones province, watched a luminous object hover overhead for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, researchers
at the Universidad Nacional De Rio Cuarto reiterated that a calf found mutilated in Berrotarn had clean incisions in its hide
and ruled out death by predators. Another mutilated bovine with missing eyes and genitals was recently discovered near the
town of San Pedro, Santa Rosa. Editorial note: According to informed sources, a herd of 500 cattle were found dead and mutilated
in the western provinces of Argentina in mid-July. An ex-pat from England is sending video-tapes of local TV news bulletins
that reported on the incident. He says that the area was swamped by NASA personnel and men wearing unmarked US-style combat
fatigues. An official explanation that the cattle were killed by a swarm of deadly wasps has been met with disbelief by angry
ranchers. Curiously, one rancher who could not account for 19 cows later found them alive - but in a state of shock - in a
raised water tower that sits on top of a mound and is sealed by a heavy lid.

When it flew over it was circular from the bottom, it passed over Wichita airport did not make any noise, and wasn't a bird,

when we pulled in at the service station to get some more fuel and some supplies. “We
all got out of the mini bus as we had been in there for quite a while and our legs needed stretching. It was when we were coming out of the
service station, (going back to the bus) when we heard a deafening noise and saw three objects speeding
across the sky, they were light up with bright lights and
each one had 3 red lights in a circular shape, near the centre of the bottom of each object. The objects seemed to dance in

A UFO was spotted over Mersea Island just 90 minutes before a passenger jet pilot
reported a similar sighting at Stansted. Police have confirmed the "experienced" Boeing 737 captain radioed air traffic control
to report a UFO just two miles from the airport. A police spokesman told the Evening Gazette: "He thought he saw another aircraft
flying in front of him, but there was no near miss. There was another report that someone saw what seemed like a ball of fire."
A ground patrol at Stansted also reported seeing shooting stars. Police say the runway was checked as a precaution but nothing
was found. The control tower logged the incident as an "unidentified flying object". Less than two hours earlier a former
taxman was shocked to see a UFO shoot across the sky while out walking his dog. John Wilson, 69, was near his East Mersea
home when he spotted the bright ball-shaped light in the sky. The strange sighting happened at 9.15pm on April 11. A police
spokesman said there were no other reports of UFOs over Mersea Island that night. They are "keeping an open mind" over the

seen within 1 mile of the sighting less than 2 hours before the UFO appeared.)

Mrs Lewis of Brunel Road, Bedminster
Down, Bristol, England reported the following sighting, which took place at around 00.32am, April 10 2003. “It was just
after half past midnight, I had gone down the Garden to check the Aviary was locked, then I saw two huge lights, like Football
pitch floodlights. I awoke my Husband who witnessed the event, even he, a sceptic said It was weird, at first he thought It might be a balloon, but It did not move, would not have
gone up, not that time of the night, and there were no flames to add hot air In the balloon to raise It, It could not have
been lights on the top of a crane, or we would have heard a noise, this was absolutely silent. Anyway my Husband decided he
would take a photo of it, when all of a sudden the lights went out, and you could make out to Brazil nut
shapes, that just vanished into thin air. The odd thing is that I have asked around,
and nobody has seen It, so what on earth was It, did I see an unidentified flying object? Whether the photo will come out
is something I am not sure of, but If It does I can download It, If need be. What I would like to know Is why did I see It,
and my Husband, but everyone else seems somewhat oblivious
to It. Any Ideas to what I may have seen will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.”

Hollywood, California (Beachwood
Canyon in foothills near the Hollywood sign)
a female witness was suddenly awakened and immediately wide-awake at 4:13
AM. She went to the kitchen for water and observed her four cats looking out the dining room window to the S-S/W. The sky
was partly cloudy and light as she looked in the direction of the cats’ interest and observed a bright white, saucer
–shaped UFO across the canyon. It was at an elevation ¼ off the horizon at a distance of one mile and above the
trees on the ridge. The solid-appearing object with diffuse edges was pulsating, hovering and spinning as it cast a white
light on the trees and house on the ridge. The witness estimated the size of the object to be about that of a standard car
or three times the size of a full moon. The object hovered for a minute before slowly moving to the west. The witness
proceeded to the living room where more cats were looking up at it. It then moved back to the east as she attempted to telepathically
communicate with its’ occupants before it rose and descended three times. It then “turned off,”
no longer being visible against the dark sky. The total time of the sighting was about three minutes. About five minutes later, two helicopters converged to that area without floodlights. They circled
the area for about three minutes, making lots of noise and then left. On Monday, March 3, 2003, the witness questioned people
at the local market (Beachwood) about the sighting, but no one inside the store had knowledge of it. However,
a man in his 40’s followed the witness to her car in the parking lot and admitted that he lived “up that way”
and saw the UFO because his dogs had awakened him. When asked if he would be a witness, he laughed and declined.
