Scarborough

UK

A series of moving bright lights were spotted in the sky off Scarborough – cementing claims that the East Coast is the UFO capital of Europe.
Pat Glenwright, of Grange Avenue, saw the lights shoot across the sky at 4.30pm on the 31st of January 2005.

She said: "There were about 14 so it definitely wasn't an aeroplane. They were flying in a group and it looks from here as though they were the size of lightbulbs."

A friend added: "They were bright and were very high up. It was very noticeable.

"They were coming from right and left and looked as though they were heading towards Whitby."

In December Chris Parr, of the British UFO Hunters group, said the coastal area between Filey and Scarborough was the British hotspot for UFO activity.

Filey UFO hunter Russ Kellett said there are more recorded sightings of UFOs in Filey and along the East Coast than anywhere else in the country.

I believe I saw a black triangle craft last night:

 

Last night I was driving my son to his karate class. It was 18:10 and dark. We were waiting at some traffic lights in town when my eye was caught by a low-flying object crossing the road ahead and disappearing to the right behind some buildings.

'Wow!' I said to my son. 'That plane's really low'. It seemed to be only 60 or 70 feet or so off the ground. We watched where it had gone for a moment and it suddenly came back into view as though it had just turned around, right where it was. 'Must be a helicopter' we thought - it was still very low and manouvreing like a helicopter.

 

We continued to watch it until the traffic lights turned to green and we moved forward. It wasn't until we were about 100 yards or so closer that we realised it wasn't a helicopter. This object was basically triangular in shape though its corner points were missing and it had various coloured lights - I distinctly remember red, white and green along it's edges. Unlike aircraft lights which flash, these lights were pulsing slowly lighter and darker as though 'breathing' over a two to three second period.

 

I know that many reports of black triangle craft describe them as huge, football-field sized craft (for example, those described by Colm Kelleher, previously of the National Instiutute for Discovery Science organisation [NIDS] in America), but the craft my son and I were observing would only have been about 30 feet on each side.

 

We watched astounded as it weaved its way around, approx 60 feet above ground level, at a distance of about 100 yards from us. We continued to move with the traffic and my son watched as we moved. I kept an eye on this thing in my door mirror (that's how low it was). Eventually it moved over the roof of a B&Q hardware centre and went out of sight.

 

On our way back home an hour or so later, I looked over to this centre. It was unusual in that it had large illuminated light panels in its roof and a large illuminated canopy over its gardening section. Of all the buildings in the vicinity, this was the only structure that actively directed light upwards and so may have 'attracted' the craft. The centre also had a tall, 20 feet wired compound area. I noticed a strobe-alarm light had been set off inside. Additionally, I noticed there was a power pylon immediately behind the store. We last saw the craft moving towards this pylon.

 

This is a sketch of how it appeared to us:

Forth Estuary - Fife

September 26 2004
Wolverhampton, West Midlands
UK

Looking North-West in a clear sky, my friend and I observed three 'star-like' point sources of light around magnitude 0 (Vega). The lights formed a triangle in the sky and were stationary for a minute or so. Unfortunately, we had no reference and could not estimate the distance to or between them. The triangle was then joined by four other lights of similar but variable magnitude that initially moved in an sweeping manner around the triangle. All lights then formed a stationary circle in the sky which then broke and lights went below visible horizon. Having seen the video footage, it would seem that our sighting was very similar to that seen in Phoenix on September 26th!

Thank you to the witness and Brian Vike for the report.

Melbourne

Australia

Two large formations of light were captured on video last night 23 Aug 2004. The formation was moving over Melbourne while the video was taken at a location near Pascoe Vale. The objects were in two groups of three lights and each group was in a triangle formation.

The video was taken by Mark & Janine Blease of Melbourne. PRA have a copy of the video for analysis and so does Channel 7 TV Melbourne. A check of Melbourne Air Traffic Control, show no aircraft at that location or in formation at that time and no radar contact was reported.

This morning on the Breakfast Show - Radio station 3AW Melbourne, spoke to the couple who took the video and they said it was quite a surprise and very spectacular, offering no explanation. Other people called the radio station and some did come onto the 'talk-back' line to support the sighting.

This is a multiple witness event and a hoax has been rules out.

At present there is no simple explanation, however an investigation has now been opened and as more information becomes available we will post it.

This is night video so it is very low value data, however, save the images to a file and then expand for more visual detail.

Interstate 5 - Coalinga, CA

USA

The following is a witnesses report which was sent to NUFORC

On the night of July 12, 2004, my family and I embarked on a road trip from the San Francisco Bay Area to New Mexico. While travelling south on Interstate-5 in the central valley of California, at about 10:15 pm, we encountered the I-5 UFO phenomenon that has been reported to NUFORC several times since at least the year 2000. It was a triangular aircraft flying a repetitive aerobatic pattern over the interstate and swooping down very low over traffic, creating a hazard to all who were driving.

We saw it as we approached from 2 to 3 miles away, and were amazed at it's agility and audacity right from the start. It occurred 28 miles north of Highway 198 at the intersection of I-5 and the overpass of Manning Avenue. The aircraft's maneuvers were incredible, but not beyond human capability. The craft flew a fast, distinct, unchanging pattern over the interstate and overpass, swooping down to an unbelievably low level over the freeway traffic. We and every other vehicle around us slowed down to observe it, and once underneath it, we hoped we wouldn't get hit. We drove past the overpass, which was remote and had no exit/entrance ramps and then parked on the shoulder about 100 yards south of it, right below the pattern that the aircraft was flying. My wife and I tried hard to get a good look, but it was very dark; no moon and no city lights anywhere near us.

The craft seemed to be triangular, yet not an equilateral triangle. It was shaped more like a Vulcan bomber; the wings formed a wide delta, yet their leading edge intersected the fuselage well behind the nose. I could not make out the profile of the nose, yet I could see the profile of a vertical tail fin. The vertical height of the fuselage seemed thin, but not too thin for a human pilot. It's lights were completely unconventional; no strobe, no red and green position lights, no navigation light. It just had 3 big bright circular halogen white lights, about 12"-18" in diameter; one under the nose, and one at each wingtip. The nose light would turn off and then turn back on. They all shined down and forward about 45 degrees, and were built into the body; they weren't fixtures hanging down. They put out an ambient glow onto the fuselage, which was a very pale tan or grey. There were no other markings and no landing gear visible. Unlike previous reports of this phenomenon to NUFORC, which described a silent craft, (and I don't discount them), this craft made a lot of noise. In fact, it sounded like it had a single jet engine. As it approached, it made a whining, hissing sound, which turned into a roar as it passed, yet not as loud or fast as a corporate or fighter jet. The craft maintained a speed of about 80 to 100 mph throughout it's maneuvers. A high-performance engine might explain how it made steep climbs and 90 degree banking turns without stalling or losing speed.

It flew a repetitive kidney-bean shaped pattern above the freeway intersection with the overpass. It dived down and flew 15'-20' above the I-5 traffic, climbed up, hung a U-turn, then dove down to the field on the east side of the interstate, and flew an amazing 2-3 feet above the ground for about 100 yards until it approached the embankment of the overpass, then pulled up and climbed at about 45 degrees without slowing down to about 200 feet above ground, hung a sharp U-turn banking at 90 degrees to the ground,then dove down again at the interstate, and repeated this pattern over and over. Whether the pilot was an off-hours yahoo cropduster or an alien, he was out of his mind. While parked on the shoulder, we watched the aircraft fly the pattern right over us several times before driving off (my 6 year-old daughter was getting scared).

I wish I could provide a more definitive identification of the aircraft, but it was very dark that night and the craft was constantly making sharp moves: banking, climbing, and diving. My best guess is that this was a powerful, unconventional, yet terrestrial airplane, but the pilot was performing maneuvers that weren't just bold, but crazy and malicious toward the traffic on I-5. Everything about the aircraft's actions and lighting was illegal.

I called the California Highway Patrol after driving away, and the dispatcher shrugged it off, saying, "I'll put out a bulletin, but there's not much we can do. You might want to try the FAA." I'll forward this report to the FAA in the hopes that they might look into it, being that this incident constitutes crimes being committed with an aircraft. Either this is some rogue cropduster that hasn't been caught yet, or this area along I-5 is definitely a UFO hotspot.

Two friends report an unusual event while out camping. As they sat around the campfire, one of the campers got up to walk towards the tree line when he noticed two orange orbs of a pumpkin like shape skimming slowly over the trees at around 5 MPH. The orbs were parallel to one another. Suddenly one flew in an eastern direction while the other object stayed in a hovering position. Moments later the other orb came back to its original position, hovering beside the other again. It was reported that they then began to move towards the campers area as the color changed to red with one of the orbs positioning itself directly over their campfire.

NUFORC has received a number of reports from the Phoenix area of a peculiar cluster of lights that were seen there on the evenings of June 14 and 15, 2004.

One of the witnesses to the event is a photography professional, and he provided this photo from the video footage he captured of the event at approximately 20:40 hrs. (Pacific) on Monday, June 14, looking to the southwest over Phoenix:

Sighting Report:

While putting the kids to bed, my wife pointed out very bright and unusual lights in formation to the sothwest. We live on a mountainside and had a good view of thses lights for 5 minutes, 2.5 of which I have on video tape. These lights were almost stationary and in formation this did not change. Brightness of each was Venus maggnitude or brighter. Lights seemed to flash in a pattern. While my eyes said they were red and white, video shows green yellow and orange as well. As the lights went from sight, a movement to NE seemed to take place. I am an experienced sky watcher and this was not an ordinary occurance. Size was a minimm of 600 ft and at the most 3000=4000 by my estimates.

Venice, CA

USA

Thursday, May 27th, 2004 at approximately 8:30pm, I was just pulling out of my driveway in Venice, CA, to go to the store. When I made a right turn to go down the street, I noticed a huge cluster of what appeared to be black balloons. I thought, "There must be a festival going on." And then I thought, "A festival? At 8:30pm on a Thursday? Surely I would've known about it."

And then I noticed this cluster was animated. These individual black spheres comprising the cluster were moving like a cartoon. They were leapfrogging, swirling around each other, separating and coming back together, and possibly moving over the area at around 50mph. This is only a guess, as
the evening air was clear and I couldn't gauge the cluster's distance from me. What is small and close? What is huge and far away? I couldn't tell.

I stopped the car, hit reverse, pulled back into my driveway, got out and watch the black cluster move eastward for about 5 minutes until it was out of site. I had time to run inside, grab a video camera, and tape only a few moments of this thing. Unfortunately, the object was too distant to distinguish on video. However, this proves one thing. This thing moved from Venice Beach to Over Century City in about 5 minutes, on an evening with no breeze - it wasn't a bunch of balloons, that's for sure.

Indo-Pak Border 

India

A high alert was sounded along the Indo-Pak border in Punjab in the wake of landing of an "unidentified flying object" in Pakistan's territory, BSF Senior Commandant Darbara Singh said in Amritsar on Sunday.The incident occurred on Thursday evening when some flying object, which took off from the Indian side, landed in Pakistan's territory hardly 300 yards away from the zero line, he said.The area was identified on the Indian side as BSF Post Fatehpur falling in village Chann Kalan, he said.

Singh said "as per the eyewitness account of BSF constable Jagdish Parishad, who on Thursday evening was keeping vigil on the International Border, had seen some flying object like a hot balloon carrying three persons, who disembarked after landing in Pakistan's territory".Singh said "now it has become difficult to ascertain the reality that the flying object landed in Pakistan territory after crossing the Indian Territory. As the BSF Constable is not educated enough to identify the object."Since the constable has never seen any para glider, fan gliders and even a hot balloon during his service tenure so it is difficult to ascertain the authenticity of the matter", he said."In this regard the BSF have already handed over the protest note to the Pakistan Authority for providing necessary information of landing object which has reportedly took off from the Indian side with three persons," Singh said.

ALMELO, Overijssel -- A 47-year old witness was walking a dog outside on Sunday, January 11, 2004, around 8:15 PM, when he saw a huge massive triangle-shaped object. At the moment of the sighting the sky was very clear and the stars were very clearly visible. The huge triangle with red lights on each of the three corners. The witness states, "In the middle of the object there were five lights in a small triangle, there were three indigo blue-coloured lights in the middle, and two red lights on each side. The wind blew suddenly very hard from another direction possibly caused by the craft. There were no engine sounds.

The craft moved slowly from the east to the west with two bright white sphere lights on top." The object was very big, much bigger than a jet and was 250 meters distant and a height of also 250 meters. It was moving slowly at a constant speed of 30 km/h as it passed overhead the witness. When the object had passed the witness, he noticed that above the object it had a hilly shape and on top of that 2 sphere-shaped bright lights. The sighting caused some psychological side effects: "I came home nervously and stayed in that condition for a couple of hours. I had a strange, restless feeling. During the sighting I was for a moment frightened, a kind of panic almost," He also reported the sighting to the Air Force Base Twente, but they said they don't do anything with the report. However, even though it was Sunday, a half hour later he could hear fighter jets fly over!

GUILFORD – On January 6, 2004, at about 8:40 PM, the eye- witness was told to look outside by his little sister who was observing something in the air. She went to the door and saw something rising straight up in the shape of a flying triangle with 400 lights. The witness states, “After a few minutes, it stopped and the blinking lights were not visible and it flew right over my house.” The lights were on the bottom of the UFO, so I believe the UFO was rising with the nose in the air. We watched it until it headed northwest and out of sight. My dogs were freaking out the whole time the UFO was near. The UFO rose straight up in the air, nose up, then stopped, straightened so the nose was pointing at us and then flew away.

Peter Davenport the Director of NUFORC spoke with this witness, and she sounded quite sincere and credible.
