In special reports, this week's files cover: Triangle Photographed by Shuttle, US Space Ships Design Based on Alien Craft, Top Secret Space Program, Doomsday Comet Elenin Disintegrates but may be transmitting, USS Kirk Naval Ship Encounters Submerged UFO, Study of clays suggests watery Mars underground, China and Russia Launch Spacecraft into Orbit, YU 55 Asteroid, White House Says No Alien Visits or UFO Coverups, New History UFO Show and Patrolman Novel.

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over California, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.

The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force. Under Project Blue Book, the US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years; and we continue this research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO's are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Special Reports

Triangle Photographed in Space

Russ Hamerly reports , " Ron Schmidt provided the attached picture of a black triangle photographed from the STS61 the fifth flight of the Space Shuttle Endeavour, that was the first Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission.

The 1986 photo from space likely shows the Aurora spy plane the world's most famous top secret aircraft. A reliable photograph would be one of the most coveted finds in the history of classified aviation. Allegedly it is a hypersonic mach 6 replacement for the ageing SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft. The name "Aurora reportedly slipped out in the 1985 US budget alongside an allocation of $455 million for "black aircraft production.

Russ says we have a new forum I have been working on. Plan to have some interesting people on there. http://www.thelivingmoon.com/forum/index.php
We heard from Linda Brown, T. T. Brown's daughter, who wants to chat with John about his father's anti gravity work. As to these under water triangles... maybe the NAVY has a secret space fleet? Thanks to Russ Hamerly.

US Space Ships Design Based on Alien Craft

Aviation artist William M. McDonald writes, "Now that legendary Lockheed engineer and Chief model kit designer for the Testor Corporation, John Andrews is dead, I can announce that he personally confirmed the design connection between the Roswell Spacecraft and the Lockheed Martin Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles (UCAVs), spy planes, Joint Strike Fighters, and Space Shuttles." How can anyone miss the comparison that my Stingray/Porpoise-like Chimaera design has in common with the three "Aurora" planes, the F-117 Nighthawk, the TR-3A "Black Manta," and even the original old YF-12A/SR-71 Blackbird spy planes of Kelly Johnson's Genius?

John Andrews was a close personal friend of "Skunk Works" CEO Ben Rich, the hand picked successor of Kelly Johnson, the man famous for the F-117 Nighthawk "Stealth" fighter, it's half-pint prototype the HAVE BLUE, and the top secret F-19 Stealth Interceptor. Before Rich died of cancer, Andrews took my questions to him and Rich confirmed:

( Ben Rich and F- 117 .)

1. There are two types of UFOs. The ones we build, and the ones THEY build. We learned from both crash retrievals and actual "Hand-me-downs." The Government knew, and until 1969 took an active hand in the administration of that information. After the 1969 Nixon 'Purge, ' administration was handled by an international board of directors in the private sector.

2. 'An item,' as opposed to 'The item' was recovered near the world's only combat operational atom bomb base (Roswell AAF) in 1947. Hull design, aerodynamic measurements, propulsion info was passed directly to Jack Northrop and Kelly Johnson, beginning in 1950. A major block of data being passed on from 'The Working Group' at Wright Patterson AFB's Foreign Technologies Division in 1952. The item refers to the top secret designation of Kelly's original variant of the U-2 (TR-1) spy plane in congressional and Pentagon budgets in the 1950s.

3. Nearly all 'Biomorphic' aerospace designs were inspired by the Roswell spacecraft from Kelly's SR-71 Blackbird, onward to today's drones, UCAVs, and aerospace craft.

4. The inward canted vertical stabilizers of the F-19, the HAVE BLUE, many drones, some UCAVs, and the SR-71 matched the 30 degrees inward cant of the Roswell spacecraft's shark fin shaped pair of vertical stabs or 'Winglets.' Same goes for the wing camber to fuselage "Blend" of the airframe designs.

5. The outward cants of the F-22 Raptor, the F-117, the McDonnell Douglas YF-23, and the TACIT BLUE stealth concept prototypes perform similar aerodynamic functions for stability in high performance flight.

6. Rich observed that the impression Kelly Johnson's contacts had was a negative impression and Kelly implied in rare conversations on the subject that "Factions" from "Out there" were a threat, more than they were a blessing.

( Chimaera design )

The cost of having "Them" around was "Unimaginable" and "Unbelievable."

7. It was Ben Rich's opinion, that the public should not be told. He believed they could not handle the truth, ever. Only in the last months of his decline did he begin to feel that the 'International corporate board of directors' dealing with the "Subject," could represent a bigger problem to citizens' personal freedoms under the United States Constitution than the presence of off world visitors themselves.

Andrews passed this information on to me in stages, from 1994 until my last phone conversation with him around the Christmas holidays of 1998. Thanks to cat Argonaut-Greywolf@home.com.

Top Secret Space Program

Michael Schratt at Open Minds has a theory about where all the black budget DOD trillions have been going over the past 60 years: to fund a TOP SECRET space program that no citizen in the United States knows about -- including most of Congress. If true, it means that NASA is only public window dressing for a much bigger and more advanced American clandestine program to dominate and weaponize space. Schratt thinks it all began in the 1940s when Presidents Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman realized that non-human, "celestial" and "interplanetary" technologies were interacting with our planet. By 1958, the public arm of a space program - NASA - is what Michael Schratt thinks was created in parallel with another secret space program. Thanks to Michael Schratt

Doomsday Comet Elenin Disintegrates but may be Transmitting

Matt Segal writes, "Re: Filer's Files #44 If you look at images from NASAs stereo system you can see Elenin being hit by some unknown explosion causing it to breakup and disintegrate. It could very well have been an ELE and either us or the ETs has something to do with destroying it. Thanks to Matt. Note: Ham radio operators suspect Elenin is transmitting .

USS Kirk Naval Ship Encounters Submerged Ufo

Long Beach -- In the fall of 1991, I was operations and intelligence petty officer on the USS Kirk FF1087, conducting drug interdiction along with three other naval vessels. During our drug interdiction operations, we would sail roughly 350-400 nautical miles off the west coast of South America. Our four ships, within the task force, would sail roughly 150 nautical miles apart from one another, in a straight line. Our air radar stream would just slightly capture the land and the entire task forces air radar would interlink, creating a large and connected air picture, ranging roughly 700-800 nautical miles long. Our primary mission was to track, contact, intercept and take control of low flying aircraft (drug carriers) coming out of Columbia, Panama and Guatemala. On occasion we would intercept board and seize sailing vessels, which we knew were drug carriers. Similar to the movie Clear and Present Danger, we were in direct communication with a DEA special agent on land, which would contact our ships via a secured and encrypted communication device. The actual call sign of our agent on land was "Iron Manvel. As an operations specialist, my primary duties took place within CIC or the Combat Information Center. About 0200 hours, on December 16th, I was on CIC Duty as things were quiet and slow, I made my way up to the ship's bridge. All lights on the exterior of the ship were out, and the only lighting on the bridge was contained dark lighting from radar scopes and navigational devices at the helm. time of night, would be in command of the bridge and he was referred to as the officer of the deck (OOD). On this particular evening, a junior officer the Officer of the Deck was a good friend of mine, and he and I were having a discussion.

All of a sudden and out of nowhere, like a huge flash from a camera, emanating from the starboard bow sea level upward was a huge flash of red glowing light, which lit up our entire ship. It only lit up our ship, not the surrounding ocean, just our ship. It happened so fast, that the OOD, the navigator and I were speechless for about 5 seconds, at which time I looked at the OOD and asked him if he just saw that light. He stated yes in a sullen voice. I then asked the navigator and he replied yes. I then took the navigator's sound powered headset, and asked the forward and aft look outs, if they had just seen the same red flash, to which the forward look out stated, "Yes! what the hell was that?" Aft lookout said yes as well. I then immediately contacted CIC, and asked the CIC officer if we had any aircraft or surface ships in our vicinity, to which he replied clear as a whistle. I asked if we had any submarine activity in the area, to which he replied, no. At this point I looked at the OOD and asked him if we should wake up the captain. The OOD sat there stunned for a minute, as did I and everyone else. What had just happened did not make any sense. The flash emanated from the sea, directly off of our starboard bow (like it was touching our bow), and ascended upwardly so rapidly, creating the effect of the bright red flash. The other weird aspect of this event was that only our ship was lit up within the red flash, not the surrounding sea, but our vessel only. The OOD elected not to wake the captain, and the entire incident was logged in our ship's log as an unexplained phenomenon. Up until this event, I did not believe in UFO's or USO's. I have no doubt that our ship, steaming along at 12 knots, came right up on a submerged unidentifiable aircraft. I don't think the aircraft or USO had any idea we were sailing up to them. I think whatever it was, took off in a very unplanned and fast manner, and wanted to quickly identify us, thus the flash. I have always felt that the event was extraterrestrial in nature.

Study of clays suggests watery Mars underground

by Guy Webster

Impact cratering and erosion combine to reveal the composition of the Martian underground by exposing materials from the subsurface. Investigation of exposed clay minerals at thousands of Martian sites by the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter suggests a long period of wet, warm conditions, mostly underground. Infrared light indicates terrains of different composition in false-color infrared images (top) of a crater (left) and an escarpment (right). Each of the scenes is about 6 miles (10 kilometers) wide. The lower images of the same sites show how distinctive absorption bands permit identification and mapping of specific minerals. In the lower images, iron-magnesium clays are mapped in blue. These are the most common clays on Mars, occupying large sections of the deep crust and mostly formed by subsurface water. These clays are beneath unaltered volcanic layers that contain the mineral olivine (green). The site shown in the image on the right also contains aluminum clays (red), which formed by waters near the surface. These clays are uncommon on Mars but are sometimes located on top of iron-magnesium clays in a distinctive stratigraphy, indicating formation later in time. These two example sites, out of thousands where CRISM has observed clay minerals, are at 10.65 degrees south latitude, 98.22 degrees east longitude (left pair) and 22.06 degrees north latitude, 74.63 degrees east latitude (right pair). In the top two images, the false color comes from presenting observed brightness's in three different wavelengths of invisible infrared wavelengths -- as red, green and blue, respectively, composited into color images. In the bottom two images, colors are assigned to absorption-band characteristics: infrared frequencies at which the materials on the Mars surface are less bright compared to their brightness at other frequencies. The data presented as red are pixel-by-pixel absorption-band depths at 2,210 nanometers, the data presented as green are broad absorption-band depths near 1,000 nanometers, and the data presented as blue are the absorption-band depths at 2,300 nanometers. These color data were then overlain and merged with the brightness at 770 nanometers to show the relationship of detected minerals with underlying topography. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/JHUAPL

(PhysOrg.com) -- A new NASA study suggests if life ever existed on Mars, the longest lasting habitats were most likely below the Red Planet's surface.

China and Russia Launch Spacecraft into Orbit

China's space agency announced Monday the country had successfully launched its Shenzhou-8 spacecraft into orbit, the first step in a planned space docking operation and a significant milestone for the country's burgeoning space program. The event was televised nationally, as the unmanned Shenzhou-8 module took off on a Long March-2F rocket, on the first part of its journey to dock with the eight-ton Tiangong I, an experimental space laboratory China launched just over a month ago. If successful, China would become only the third country on Earth to operate a permanent space station on orbit.

YU 55 Asteroid

Robert Morningstar writes, "Richard Hoagland sent out first pictures of YU-55 and it does not look anything at all like a "typical asteroid". I took the raw image (left side of first photo) and did some enhancements to improve the image. At 6:30 PM, on November 8, 2011, the aircraft carrier size asteroid flew safely between the Earth and our Moon at 29,000 mph.

YU-55 has an interesting geometry. The side facing the satellite telescope that captured it makes it look hemispherical or saucer-shaped. I am attaching my YU-55 photo enhancements for your study. To my eye, there seems to be too much symmetry in this object for it to be an ordinary asteroid. Let me know what you think. It looks more like a tiny moon. Thanks to Robert Morningstar

White House Says No Alien Visits or UFO Coverups

The White House has responded to two petitions asking the US government to formally acknowledge that aliens have visited Earth and to disclose to any intentional withholding of government interactions with extraterrestrial beings. "The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race, said Phil Larson from the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy, on the WhiteHouse.gov website. "In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public's eye.

5,387 people had signed the petition for immediately disclosing the government's knowledge of and communications with extraterrestrial beings, and 12,078 signed the request for a formal acknowledgement from the White House that extraterrestrials have been engaging the human race.

"Hundreds of military and government agency witnesses have come forward with testimony confirming this extraterrestrial presence, the second petition states. "Opinion polls now indicate more than 50% of the American people believe there is an extraterrestrial presence and more than 80% believe the government is not telling the truth about this phenomenon. The people have a right to know. The people can handle the truth.

These petitions come from an Obama Administration initiative called We the People' which has White House staffers respond and consider taking action on any issue that receives at least 25,000 online signatures. Regarding these two petitions, the White House promised to respond if the petitions got 17,000 or more signatures by Oct. 22.

Larson stressed that the facts show that there is no credible evidence of extraterrestrial presence here on Earth. He pointed out that even though many scientists have come to the conclusion that the odds of life somewhere else in the Universe are fairly high, the chance that any of them are making contact with humans are extremely small, given the distances involved.

But that doesn't mean we aren't searching, there is just no evidence yet. The Kepler spacecraft is searching for Earth-like planets in the habitable zones around other stars, and that the Curiosity rover will launch to Mars this month to "assess what the Martian environment was like in the past to see if it could have harbored life.

Regarding any evidence for alien life, all anyone has now is "statistics and speculation, said Larson. "The fact is we have no credible evidence of extraterrestrial presence here on Earth.

Whether or not this will appease or satisfy any conspiracy theorists or UFO believers is yet to be seen, but it is gratifying to see the White House respond in such a no-nonsense manner. http://www.universetoday.com/90717/no-alien-visits-or-ufo-coverups-white-house-says/#more-90717

Editor's Note: There is strong indication the White House is kept out of the loop concerning UFOs. President Ford wrote me that while in Congress, as Vice President, and as President he was never provided information about UFOs. It is doubtful President Obama has been given UFO information.

New History UFO Show

Mondays are about to get even happier for Shaun Ryder. The slack-jawed singer from 90s Brit-pop sensation, Happy Mondays, will be looking for signs of extra-terrestrial life.

In an interview with Q magazine, Ryder said: "I've seen a couple of things which defy explanation. "They were not craft from this planet .

Ryder became popular with viewers during his stint in the jungle with"I'm A Celebrity.. Get Me Out Of Here last year. The TV"based search will begin in Manchester, where he believes there is a wormhole that cuts through space and time, before heading off to visit Peru, Chile and Australia. The new eight-part series, "Shaun Ryder On UFOs will be broadcast on The History Channel.

Sightings in the United States

Arizona Orb

Maricopa -- On November 6, 2011, around 5:34 PM, I was conversing with my two brothers on their porch. My brother hollers out, "There a white light in the sky!"... It was slowly traversing southeast at a high altitude heading towards Tucson. I quickly realized it was not a normal plane and grabbed my camera, and rapidly started taking pictures of the object that was traversing. After the third picture I took, I quickly previewed it via the camera. It didn't look like a plane, jet, or balloon. Snip Thanks to MUFON CMS

California Rectangle

El Dorado Hills --Attached are a few photos from October 14, 2011, around 9:30 PM and October 17, 2011 around 7:30 PM. We have around fifty different photos of this event. Each sighting lasted 15 to 20 minutes. The main craft is bright blue and red with a white line in the middle it made some amazing moves through the sky and never made a sound. In one of the photos you can see some type of objects around the main craft and it looks like it has some sort of trail coming from it.

Note: The photos have been edited, but this does not indicate a hoax. Thanks to William Puckett Director UFOs Northwest http://ufosnw.com

Colorado Triangle Ball

USAFA -- I was looking up from my coffee driving to high school when I thought a new star appeared. This star was not moving but was brighter than Venus, and 30 degrees to the south of Venus. It stayed where it was for about three minutes and suddenly grew six triangles each the same diameter of the ball. After a few seconds the triangles collapsed on the ufo and it disappeared. I was not afraid and said, "That is number two in my book and had normal day at school."Thanks to MUFON CMS

Florida Flap

St. Petersburg -- William Puckett Director UFOs Northwest has received sixteen UFO reports from Florida. Most were various colored moving lights. On October 15, 2011:a
woman takes photos of purple sky. discovers lights in triangular formation in photos.

Sarasota -- Three bright red lights that were too big & high to have been planes on October 23, 2011.
.Thanks to William Puckett Director UFOs Northwest http://ufosnw.com

Indiana Disc

Evansville -- Facing north on Plaza Drive on the eastside of Vanderburgh County at about 8 PM, on November 6, 2011, my daughter and I saw the colorful lights in the sky. The object was about 100 feet in the air and as it got closer I could see a dark saucer shape. The lights were multi-colored like a Christmas tree and blinking in rotation underneath it. The thing slowed to almost a stop just above us then slowly continued flying east. It hover again closer to Newburgh. The thing looked like a textbook UFO. It was flying parallel between Lincoln Avenue and Lloyd Expressway. It flew at 200 feet up then lowered to just above the trees and seemed to disappear. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Missouri Disc

Lees Summit -- I am writing you about the UFO witnessed by John Goslin on October 31, 2011. I saw this with my family on that night. We left home at nearly 7:35 pm on our way to trick or treat at Lees Summit North High School. I pulled up to the Blackwell intersection and the object was in the south sky and turned right and it followed me as I went north. I turned west onto Scruggs and saw it clearly until it passed over us silently. I saw it dip like a blimp but it didn't look like a blimp. It was too big and moving too fast at that time.

After it passed over us and it headed toward the stadium, we concluded it must be the blimp for the Chiefs football game. We think we saw two different things in the sky. One being the planes and the other was Unidentified. I think the public safety was at risk by what was flying that night. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Jersey Three Bright Balls

Essex -- I was on the plane taking pictures to make into postcards and started snapping away on August 20, 2009. When the plane got above the clouds at 6:45 PM there were three shining lights flying to the side of the plane. From that day on I have seen them on regular basis. Thanks to MUFON CMS

WILLIAMSTOWN -- I saw a bright flash as if the craft was descending from a worm hole on November 3, 2011. After the flash the craft was a dark metal or black sphere like an aspirin. It moved very fast from horizon to horizon until out of sight. There were aircraft flying at the same altitude above 35,000 feet cruising with condensation trails. This craft was easily 2 to 3 times as fast. Around 7:30 PM, the same night, I saw a small star-like orb moving slowly in the north. My retired Air Force friend saw it with me and said, "This is no known aircraft. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Cape May County Zoo -- I was with my wife and grandson on November 6, 2011, eating our lunch at a picnic table and saw a large plane flying over and I noticed a flask of light at 1:23 Pm. The altitude of the plane was 20,000 feet and flying in a northeast direction. A silver cylinder was flying alongside the airplane. At first I thought it was a military plane and was being escorted by a military jet, but the object had no wings. It was shadowing the large commercial jet towards the rear of the plane. The objects distance from the plane looked to be a full wing span. I could see the sun reflecting off the cylinder and I managed to finally take a few photos but the photos did not capture the object.

I just started shooting photos in the general direction and one photo did capture an object in it. The object looks dark gray in color and it looks to be at a lower altitude than the jet that passed over. I am a chief investigator with MUFON in New Jersey. If you are not looking up into the sky, you will never see a ufo. The time of day was and the sky was partly cloudy. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New York Triangle

BUFFALO -- I was looking up at stars on October 11, 2011, and saw an object coming towards me because the stars disappeared behind it. It was moving slowly and it was black and went directly over me. It was triangular in shape and it blended in with the night sky. It was huge like a football field and it hovered over my head silently and kept going till I could not see it. It made my skin crawl as this silent craft was so big. NOTE: The above image is a rendering. Thanks to MUFON CMS system.

North Carolina Boomerang

HICKORY -- After the MUFON meeting twelve of us went Sky Watching at a member's house on November 5, 2011. We had telescopes, night vision, cameras and Google Sky Map ready for the evening's event. We setup in a field adjacent to the home around 7:30 pm. We watched a lot of commercial traffic go by and six satellites go by. They are usually the tiny white specs that move across the sky in a straight line. Around 9:30 pm, someone says "Look there! Heading east we saw a boomerang shaped object flying about 5,400 feet altitude about the same diameter of the moon. It was three to four times larger than a 747. It had two orange lights, one on each end and a large center red light. We all noticed that it was silent and did not have the required red and green lights and none were flashing. The red light was size of a small car. The photo is a 30 second exposure of the exact location where we saw the object. I was using a Nikon D50 with a Quantaray LD 70-300 telephoto lens. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Ohio Lights

Columbus -- I saw balls of light about the size of a large beach ball flying over the city five times in the last year. Tonight at about 8 PM, I noticed it again flying silently southeast less than 1000 feet overhead. It has a goldish orangish light. I'm private pilot and I know this is no aircraft! This object moved rapidly from the NW toward downtown, slowed and stopped completely in mid air. It has been there for over an hour stationary at this point. It was not the Columbus PD helicopter as it was flying west over the Grandview area and it had no anti collision lights and was not an aircraft. This object is silent and is a ball with goldish orangish light emitting from it. There were two others who witnessed this with me. Thanks to MUFON CMS

South Carolina Boomerang

Laurens -- I was outside smoking at 2:11 AM, on November 5, 2011, I noticed a boomerang or V shaped craft with small red non blinking lights inside of it. I had seen a similar object eight months ago flying low and silent that flew slow right over the tree tops. Tonight I saw the object again, but it was moving faster, with fainter red lights flying low just as before. I don't know if it is a UFO, because it disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Tennessee Two Moving Lights

I was going to leave for work about 6 AM, and I paused, as I normally do every morning, to gaze at the stars and noticed two stars above the tree line. As I looked at them I noticed that they were moving due north and drawing nearer to the tree line. As they neared the trees they were positioned one on top of the other, forming an invisible diagonal line. They were five inches apart at arm's length. I then noticed that the two "stars" were traveling in formation at exactly the same speed and distance and disappeared from view behind the trees. They were either silent independently piloted craft, traveling flawlessly together, or lights on some larger craft. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Virginia Lights in Water 37.4315734N 78.656

Portsmouth -- Go to Elizabeth River Boat Landing Park via Google Maps and use Satellite view...and check close in on the water area just to the north of this park. You can see the light array under the water shown on the latest satellite images. Could this be a USO or many of them? If you click on Google Maps now you can see it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Wisconsin Flaming Orange Light

Burlington -- About 30 people were taking part in the Haunted Woods Tour as part of the Wisconsin Vortex Conference on October 29, 2011. We were hiking through the woods at about 9 pm, when someone yelled, "What's up in the sky? We all saw a flaming orange object flying silently towards us at a slow steady rate zigzagging slightly. When it was almost right overhead it disappeared. Thirty people saw another one appear about a mile away and follow the same path also disappearing when it got overhead. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Worldwide Sightings

Canada Huge Object

Levis -- On October 24, 2011, while driving on Highway 20, at Exit 330, I saw 500 immense bright lights that were very close to us at the drawbridge at 7:28 PM. I found that the car ahead of me had very strange behavior.

There was a huge stationary object very close to us. Without further ado myself rest on its side to see better and of course believe it. I still wonder if this was real. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Italy Silver Object

I was smoking on the balcony of my house watching the sky on November 10, 2011, when I saw a strange object over my house as big as the moon. It started to move, so I took my camera and started to make the video.

The object was bright silver, but appears white in the images. The object changes shape continuously, from edgy to smooth and seemed liquid.
Thanks to MUFON CMS

Mexico Humanoid

Mexico City -- A humanoid was observed levitating in the sky to the east of Mexico City on November 2, 2011.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Norway Very fast light, changing colors.

Moss -- At about 20:00 hours on the 15th of October 2011, I observed a small, but very bright light moving north at about the speed of a plane. The light accelerated and turned red then suddenly stopped for a few seconds while pulsating. It changed colors and accelerated rapidly south and flew out of sight.

I observed a small cluster of four lights, green, red, and white through binoculars. The lights didn't change color themselves, but switched on and off. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com/

South Africa Triangle Video

Johannesburg -- Its fun having many UFO stories in the news. Here is a video of a UFO taken with a Blackberry! One of my friends told me he had taken a UFO with his cell phone. He said, "It had a Triangle shape. I had observed this same UFO in 1995 or 1996 in Klerksdorp. My son reported, "Look Dad the stars are moving. You will need the video because it looked pretty terrible moving with a red circle around the UFO. Thanks to De Jager Laubscher

United Kingdom/England

Glossop -- While walking on Upper Shelf Moor near just after the daylight faded, a series of dull thuds were heard and felt by all three people on November 6, 2011. Shortly after reaching the footpath, a light was spotted in the sky above the Edale area. This light was moving slowly towards Manchester, resembling an aircraft. However it shot sideways, covering around five miles in less than a second and then stopped dead. It then started shooting in random directions, hovering in a stationary position, and then surging. It seemed to have white light coming from it. After a while moving around the sky a white beam of light appeared to emit from the bottom of the object. Shortly after this two fast jets were seen moving quickly into the area, the object then moved away from them, back towards Manchester. We then lost sight of it and a helicopter with a searchlight was seen in the area, sweeping the ground.

This made us all quite anxious and I managed to get a photo of this object with the motions of the object over four seconds in the lower left corner. While walking back to the car, we looked behind us with a torch, and a reflective object was seen on the ground bouncing the light back to us. I shone the torch back to where I had seen the light and a dark cylinder was seen shooting up into the air from the exact location of the reflective object just seconds earlier.

UFO Conferences

• Memphis UFO Conference - Increase In UFO Activity?
  

  Debbie Ziegelmeyer State MUFON Director of Missouri will be speaking and doing a power-point presentation in Memphis on 11/11/11.

In special reports, this week's files cover: Mars Structures, Doomsday Comet Elenin Disintegrates, Libya Militia and Airpower Defeat Khadafy's Army, UFO Hacker Gary McKinnon's Mum Up for Human Rights Award, Russian Cosmonaut Claims UFOs Are Real, and Missouri Flap

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Texas and Wisconsin.

Sightings of UFOs were also reported in Australia, Canada, Denmark, India, and England in the United Kingdom.

The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force. Under Project Blue Book, the US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years; and we continue this advanced research. . "For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6.)

Special Reports

MUFON's International Director Clifford Clift writes, "UFO sighting reports continue to exceed our average of 500 per month.

July reports were 493, August 1013, September 783, and October will be in close to 600. Even with the increased numbers, I am still not convinced we are having a "Flap (extraordinary increase in UFO

activity.) What I have discovered is MUFON is receiving more sighting reports due to the more positive and increased media coverage of UFOs. MUFON's name is being used in TV shows and documentaries, movies, and the printed news.

Mars Unusual Structures

Norman Bryden sent this image. Top right is a tower or building reflecting light. Rectangular shapes can be seen standing up next to each other below the light markings. A bright tube like structure is apparent running left to right across the image. A smaller tower or building is within the small circle. These appear to be structures unlikely to have been formed by nature, and indicate intelligent life on Mars. Thanks to Norman Bryden

Doomsday Comet Elenin Disintegrates

Matt Segal writes, "Re: Filer's Files #44 If you look at images from Nasas stereo system you can see Elenin being hit by some unknown explosion causing it to breakup and disintegrate. It could very well have been an ELE and either us or the ETs has something to do with destroying it. Thanks to Matt

Libya Militia and Airpower Defeat Khadafy's Army

UK Tornado GR4 with two Storm Shadow missiles We should remember in Libya, to make 3 points:

1. A rag-tag militia, supported by modern Airpower, defeated a large standing Army.
2. The cost to the US was less than $2B -- about the cost of one-week's operation in Afghanistan and there were no US/Allied casualties.
3. NATO, for all its warts, performed superbly, and should be congratulated.

Thanks to the Air Force Association

Gary McKinnon's Mum Up for Human Rights Award

Paul Christian reports, "UFO hacker Gary McKinnon's mother has been shortlisted for a human rights award in recognition of her decade-long fight to stop her son being extradited to America. Janis Sharp was surprised and said she had no idea who had nominated her for the award from human rights watchdog Liberty, but said she was "honored.

Gary claims he has been seeing data on Non-Terrestrial Officers and spaceships. 'The whole world thinks it's cooperating in building the International Space Station, but you've already got a space-based army that you refer to as Non-Terrestrial Officers'." Gary was hacking around Fort Meade, reading internal court martial reports of soldiers. At the Johnson Space Centre he spied on photographs of cigar-shaped objects that might have been UFOs but - he says -- they were probably satellites. "You end up lusting after more and more complex security measures," he says. "It was like a game a computer games. It was hugely addictive." There were hackers from many nations snooping around every night for the entire five to seven years I was doing this. He claims, "I found a list of officers' names under the heading 'Non-Terrestrial Officers' and a list of 'fleet-to-fleet transfers', and a list of ship names. I looked them up. They weren't US navy ships. What I saw made me believe they have some kind of spaceship, off-planet." Apparently, the US has a secret spaceship like Mir, although "I was smoking a lot of dope at the time. Not good for the intellect." Allegedly the names of two of the ships are the General Curtis LeMay and Admiral Roscoe H. Hellkotter. Editor's Note: If Gary McKinnon's statements are correct, Obama's decision to cancel the Shuttle program is probably a good decision if there is a more efficient military shuttle program in operation. The thirty year old shuttles cost the government allegedly a billion dollars per flight.

On January 28, 1986, he US Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, leading to the deaths of its seven crew members. The Challenger disintegrated over the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of central Florida at 11:38 am. Later a second shuttle crashed killing its crew. Two of the six space shuttles were lost.

The military was unable to count on the Shuttles that were now grounded to carry critical satellites into orbit during the Cold War. They logically looked for an alternative. The US had been working on building the National Space Plane carrying a load of passengers to fly from Washington to Japan in under two hours. It would take off and land from airports. Here is an artists concept of the X-30 aerospace plane flying through Earth's atmosphere on its way to low-Earth orbit. The experimental concept is part of the National Aero-Space Plane Program. President Carter decided to cancel the program but the plans and engineering could be revitalized to carry satellites and military personnel into orbit. Within our Black Budget billions are spent to protect the US and its allies from attack. It is logical that the rumored Aurora or aero space craft exists.

Russian Cosmonaut Claims UFOs Are Real

Cosmonaut Alexandr Balandin stated that "flying saucers" have come into close proximity to the MIR space station as well as the Baikonur Cosmodrome. He added there is sufficient evidence to warrant a scientific study of the phenomenon, and that it is time that world governments officially acknowledge the UFO phenomenon's existence.

"General Vladimir Ivanov, former commander of Russia's Military Space Forces, recalls that three objects flew at a considerable altitude over Baikonur Cosmodrome and were picked up on radar. There is no way they could have been airplanes." insisted the cosmonaut.

Balandin disclosed at Brazil's First International Ufology Forum, that he and fellow cosmonaut Musa Manarov had seen UFOs. During docking operations between his space capsule and the MIR, Balandin saw a glowing object a short distance away.

Manarov managed to capture the strange phenomenon on videotape, that was shown during the UFO congress in Brazil. Balandin claimed that the recording and other evidence presented during the Congress, "must be studied by an international scientific commission." Balandin insisted that the Russian military has a great contribution to make to UFO research, giving as an example the multiple-witness case at the Kaputsin Yar missile base, whose personnel sighted a semi-circular object flying at low altitude lighting up the bases facilities with a powerful searchlight in June 1989. "Many of my old comrades, who are now working at top-secret military facilities, acknowledge having seen UFOs. Thanks to Rubn Sobrino.

Editor's Note: It is quite possible that some of the craft seen by the cosmonauts were US military spacecraft as well as extraterrestrials.

Missouri Had 75 the Most Sightings of Any State in October.

Margie Kay, Assistant State Director for Missouri MUFON resident is heading up the investigation in Kansas City. Debbie Ziegelmeyer, State Director for Missouri MUFON and other field investigators are assisting with the high volume of investigations. The case has been moved to Star Team level.

37 reports remain unsolved and unidentified.

The identified craft include two flight teams that are members of the Experimental Aircraft Association. The KC Flight team with seven planes flew over the Chief's Stadium for Monday night football on October 31, leaving the airport at 6:45 PM and returning at 8:00 PM. The group flew in a circular pattern, and had bright flashing strobe lights that are typical of their night performances.

Margie believes that this new type of night stunt flying will promote more UFO sighting reports in the coming years all over the U.S. and believes that MUFON should put a video of the Flight Team performances on the website.

The unidentified UFO sighting reports include multiple reports of bright white, blue, orange, and dull black spheres at low altitude -- even inches off of the ground- and close proximity to witnesses. The spheres are the most perplexing of the reports, and occurred during the entire month of October. Other unidentified objects include large craft with blue lights that are not typical aircraft lights, two craft that turned on their sides and took off at a high rate of speed, and large diamond and triangular shaped craft that hovered at tree level.

Radar reports from October 4 indicate that a target was stationary at 38,000 feet nine miles north of the sightings for 20 minutes. Other radar indicates positive targets in the sighting areas. Several witnesses have submitted video, photos, and drawings. Most of these are available at www.mufon.com.

Margie Kay and Debbie Ziegelmeyer have been working late hours in an attempt to close out the cases as quickly as possible.

Sightings in the United States

Alabama Four Unknowns

Pelham -- I saw four objects falling from the sky as I was driving towards the interstate on October 21, 2011, at 7 PM. Each object had a "tail streaming behind it like a firework that had just exploded in the sky and falling back to Earth.

They looked like concentrated balls of light at very close range. Suddenly, the four objects stopped mid air just above the tree line as the "tails behind them disappeared. Then they started moving side to side, up and down, in all directions. The movement was easy and fluid and when they moved the "tails reappeared. The objects, together as if perfectly synchronized, moved to an aligned position. Each object moved independently to a particular spot as if they were communicating with each other. These in no way could be an aircraft. My husband and my mother in different cars saw the same exact thing. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center

Arizona Photo

Mesa -- On October 26, 2011, around 2:42 PM, I was sitting in my lawn chair watching the sky towards the northwest. I saw a balloon size object just instantly appear in the sky moving fast and high jet. But suddenly I realized that it wasn't a jet, and I promptly began thinking that it may possibly be a balloon that was quickly traversing with the wind. I immediately started taking pictures of but the object didn't look anything similar to a balloon and was slightly changing its shape. It drastically slowed to almost a crawl and was resisting the wind. It had a brown furry surface similar to a peach. It was about 125 away while taking pictures of the object it instantly disappeared in the sky. Thanks to MUFON CMS

California Objects

Carmichael -- I have been seeing these objects for two years now, they come down, shine bright then fly back up. It seem like they come every time I sit outside at night like most recently on October 31, 2011. I have also seen what people call probes that are single white orb like UFO's in the day light. I have Video of everything going back to 2009 online. It doesn't matter where I live they are able to find me. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Colorado UFOs Flying Below the Roofs

PAGOSA SPRINGS -- Two nights in a row, two UFOs which were glowing, floated down to the ground and then back up above the condo roof tops on June 16, 17, 2011, at 9 p.m. at the same location and the encounter lasted 30 minutes both nights.

Both UFOs began to shape shift and split into double UFOs as you can see in the photos. Their behavior seemed like they were showing how they could evacuate if they needed to, as they would dive down to the ground and then back up to the sky. It was amazing how they were flying around each other just above the roofs and then they would dive down below the roofs and into the lake on the golf course. One UFO flew as low as 50 feet over my street and both nights they flew over the Wyndham Condos and Victoria filmed the event both nights. Thanks to Victoria Liljenquist, God Bless, www.victoriaslight.com.

Penrose -- I discovered this silver object to the left of the tree on October 27, 2011. I was standing at my front door facing west to get pictures of the snow to email to my husband who was out of town. When I zoomed in on the object I noticed that it had an unusual shape. In the second picture it had change it shape or direction but was in the same general location. We have a lot of military craft fly over but they make a lot of noise. I didn't hear anything and it is too shiny to be a bird. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Connecticut Disc

HARTFORD -- My girlfriend was driving as we headed south on 1-91, when she saw this object at 6:11 PM, on October 17, 2011. I looked above the city skyline to notice the hovering object that was reflecting the setting sun off the top of the disc. Banded around the middle in a horizontal row were five white lights. At first, I thought it was Hospital Lifestar helicopter. The object was hovering as I saw a plane take off from Bradley Airport headed west confirming to me what I saw was NOT a plane. It looked totally different. We went under an underpass and the object was gone. It just seemed to have disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS system, and Ken Pfeifer www.world ufo photos.com

Florida Light

Anna Maria Island -- I was attending a dinner party from 9 to 10 pm, overlooking the entrance to Tampa Bay. The Egmont Key Light was visible 45 degrees to the left of the observed object. I attempted to call attention to the other person present to no avail. The object gave off a steady reddish yellow light at low elevation beyond Edmont Key. It traveled due north at extreme speed changed direction 90 degrees into a vertical climb and then disappeared. The entire event lasted less than ten seconds. Thanks to MUFON CMS

27.6648274 N 81.515753 W -- I went to take photos of our cactus plant that only blooms at night about October 22, 2011. There were five bright, colorful balls of light that flashed across the night sky. They all left trails, as if traveling at a high rate of speed. One ball was bright orange, one violet, one white w/cobalt hue, one was a dimmer/darker shade of orange (as if farther away, and not as bright), and another was sort of gray and dimmer as well. Seven photographs were taken in immediate, rapid succession, but only the first photo revealed these balls of light. The other six photos just showed a dark, sky. These lights must have been traveling at an extremely high rate of speed because they were not visible with the naked eye, and I only saw them in my photograph once developed. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Sunrise -- I got some amazing footage of a "flying saucer" type UFO on October 20, 2011, at 9:15 PM. It would start out as a white orb connected to a red orb, then it would form into a structure that would change colors -- almost blinding -- such as green, blue, yellow, and purple! No plane or helicopter is capable of this!

As I drove closer I was able to capture the structure which is similar to a space-ship. I noticed that police had the cross-streets where this object was blocked off, so I called 911 that night to see if there were any other reports of it, and the dispatcher informed me that it's under investigation and that there were other reports of UFOs in the area.

Georgia Hovering Object

WEST POINT -- The UFO appeared over the water as I was video recording my family at the lake on September 18, 2011. A UFO was hovering about six inches off the ground 50 yards in front of my vehicle. Only later did I see the UFO when I returned home did I notice something strange on the video. I could not see these objects with my naked eye only the camera was sensitive enough to capture them. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Rome -- My wife and I were traveling east on Highway 20 on October 26, 2011, at about 7:20 PM, about seven miles from the Alabama state line. We observed a large object traveling northwest near the Coosa River treetops with a smaller object behind it that looked more like a plane. The first and third objects had three steady lights on each side that were too far apart to be a plane. The lights on these larger objects seemed to be attached by appendages to the object. We couldn't tell the shape of any of the objects. They flew very low and made no sound. They crossed the road and disappeared into the mountains. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Illinois Lights

Peoria -- I was at a lake resort and saw 25 to 30 orbs in the sky at 10:06 PM on October 22, 2011. They were zigzagging and just floated away into space! I took this photo with my camera phone. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Kentucky Little Green Men

By John Lasker in Leo Weekly

Back in May, after nine witness reports were fielded during the previous month, a "UFO ALERT 5 rating was issued in Kentucky, and the state was placed on a watch list. The organization issuing the alert was the national office of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), which employs scores of trained and paid investigators. And while such an alert doesn't mean an extraterrestrial invasion is imminent, it is a reflection of Louisville and Kentucky's intriguing — though often explainable — UFO history that goes back some 60 years. "It's been very, very busy here, says Dave MacDonald, director of Kentucky MUFON, and third in line for national leadership. "Most of the activity has been centered in two parts of the state: Bowling Green, which is really close to Fort Campbell, and in the Big Sandy region, where there are a lot of coal mines, rivers, lakes and railroads — all of these things, for some reason, seem to attract UFOs.

But the Louisville region has had its share of sightings as well. Take, for example, "The Shootout: In 1993, a glowing pear-shaped object the size of a basketball played cat-and-mouse with a Louisville police helicopter. Mike Pickard, the current investigator for Kentucky MUFON's Louisville sector, says the chase started over General Electric's Appliance Park, and he calls it the "The Shootout because the UFO fired what appeared to be small and apparently harmless balls of fire at the pursuing helicopter. But skeptics believe the UFO was nothing more than a miniature, homemade hot air balloon and that the fireballs were simply birthday candles, ejected when the balloon came too close to the helicopter.

The incident has remained legendary among enthusiastic believers, but it just recently garnered more widespread national attention. Both pilots from that night — Kenny Graham and Kenny Downs — tell LEO they spent several days in Boston over the summer filming a segment about "The Shootout for a production company that's created shows for the Discovery Channel. The Sci-Fi Channel also aired an overtly "pro-UFO piece on the chase last month.

Another local case spiked with mystery occurred on June 24, 2009, when what some have described as a spinning Coors Light can was spotted hovering over Louisville International Airport in the early afternoon. It's a case MUFON continues to investigate, and MacDonald believes video footage exists as he says a cameraman for a local television news outlet — he's not sure which station — was at the scene.

"It is MUFON's hope that our investigations will deliver the truth, one way or the other, about UFOs, says MacDonald, who's been dubbed "The Captain by his peers. A pilot since 1987, MacDonald owns Flamingo Air, a charter company that shuttles passengers to beach destinations, and also runs a flight school.

"Although we have found that 92 percent of the reported sightings are explainable, it is that remaining 8 percent which constitutes the most amazing enigma of our time, he says. "At this time, the evidence in favor of that 8 percent being extraterrestrial is absolutely overwhelming.

More Little Green Men

"Kentucky has a history of UFO activity, no doubt about it, MacDonald says. "The term little green men' was actually coined by a Kentucky case.

MacDonald is referring to the "Hopkinsville Goblin Case, which unfolded in the late summer of 1955. After "an unusual light settled way back in the woods, two rural families from the small town of Hopkinsville claimed they were terrorized in the middle of the night by apparent humanoids, described as 3-feet-tall with thin limbs, over-sized heads and large pointy ears.

"They put the kids under the bed and then surrounded the bed with mattresses. Next thing they hear is scampering on the roof, MacDonald says. The witnesses testified the creatures would float through the air and suddenly appear behind windows and in open doors. Two adult men turned their rifles on the creatures, blasting away hundreds of rounds, but the bullets ricocheted off with no harmful effect.

"They then raced into town to tell the sheriff, and the sheriff attested these people weren't buzzed, MacDonald says. "Yet these people were crucified.

Besides the families, several law enforcement officers swore they saw strange lights tear through the sky that night. The story was so convincing that U.S. Air Force investigators from Fort Campbell visited Hopkinsville, questioning all witnesses and making sketches of the gremlins.

Half a century later, the case's legacy has staying power. It's been reported that Steven Spielberg was heavily influenced by what happened in Hopkinsville that night.

Kentucky also was the setting for another classic UFO case in January 1948, when four P-51 Mustangs from the Kentucky Air National Guard already in the air were ordered to intercept a strange object spotted from the control tower at Fort Knox.

The pilots were soon radioing commanding officers, telling them this thing was enormous and silver.

Four of the five pilots would disengage the UFO because they were low on oxygen and fuel, but not 25-year-old Thomas Mantell, who had battled Nazis over Normandy just a few years before. Mantell continued the chase as this "thing streaked past at 12,000 feet. Yet Mantell kept pursuing, well past 20,000 feet, according to the Air Force.

What happened next is considered one of the most significant UFO mysteries ever. Mantell's P-51 Mustang fell out of the sky and exploded near the Tennessee-Kentucky line south of Bowling Green.

The pilot blacked out because of a lack of oxygen — that was the military's official explanation. But MacDonald has his doubts. Even at that altitude, MacDonald says, "Lack of oxygen is not an issue. He had ample oxygen and ample fuel. Yet in the aftermath, the Air Force insisted there had been no hostile move against him.

In 2009 near Lexington a trucker and his rig were heading east on Route 60 in the middle of a warm summer night as bright lights approached fast from behind. In his rear-view mirror, he noticed the lights suddenly rise off the highway. Whatever it was, it was directly above him. Both vehicles hurtled down the highway for a short distance before the tractor-trailer died — the engine, the controls, his radio, all silenced.

Corroborating the trucker's story were witnesses driving the opposite direction on the highway that night. They, too, told Kentucky MUFON they saw a triangular craft racing down Route 60. The highway lights went dark as the craft passed.

Intrigued, Kentucky MUFON investigators decided to act, contacting Old Dominion Power to see if they had documented any power outages that night. "A representative from Old Dominion Power confided there had been rolling blackouts that night that corresponded with the path of the UFO, MacDonald says. Snip Thanks to http://leoweekly.com/

Louisiana Cylinder

New Orleans -- During the New Orleans Saints rout of the Indianapolis Colts 62-7 on October 23, 2011. NBC's cameras focused on the historic, St. Louis Cathedral. Moving quickly behind the Cathedral was cylinder shaped object. Thanks to NBC

Missouri Cylinder

I was taking pictures of the skyline on October 31, 2011, and noticed this object in the sky. As it came over head it looked semi transparent. It had no noticeable wings and was tubular in shape. These types of craft come through this area quite often. However this one was rather large. It was about 30 to 40 feet in length with a dark band in the center and on one end. I didn't know what to make of it. Just thought folks would be interested in seeing this and maybe someone else has seen this before. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Montana Spikes of Light

Billings -- Last night around 11:30 PM, my husband and I were sitting on our patio on October 25, 2011, and noticed a big bright "star" saying, "Wow, that is awfully close and too bright to be a star." It moved closer had eight white "spikes" of light. We quickly took pictures and this one came out the best reminded me of a jellyfish. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Hampshire Triangle

Litchfield -- Strange triangle flying objects were seen in the sky above a field on October 24, 2011, at 11:25 PM. Three triangular brown/gray objects were seen in sky above Spooky World by at least ten people for at least five seconds. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com/

New Jersey UFO sighting Disk

Hoboken -- My family and I were on the third floor balcony, when my daughter pointed at a distant blue, green and red light that was shining very bright from11 to 11:15 pm on August 23, 2011. It was approaching us with great speed. There were six aircraft flying, but the bright object caught our attention as it stopped abruptly a few hundred feet above the buildings. The green and red light of the object were similar to bright traffic lights. The blue light was rarely seen but extremely bright. It crossed over our building then returned and hovered for at least five minutes and I took six photographs. At 11.15 pm the object silently glided away over our roof and disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Lambertville -- On October 23, 2011, at 7:30 pm, my wife saw fireworks out the kitchen window and went out to see and started screaming for me to look at a bright white saucer shaped craft. It had a red blinking light at the top and bottom and was absolutely silent! I ran in the house and grabbed my field glasses and saw sequentially flashing strobes. I saw a string of windows about a third of the way up from the bottom continuing around the craft. It appeared to be spinning. It was heading towards Lambertville following Route 202 southbound at 900 feet attitude. At a distance of two miles it was 1 and 1/2 thumb wide. I am a private pilot and I know it was not a blimp. It scared me enough to chase my family inside and to call the Hunterdon County Dispatch. Others saw it, including my son's friends. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com/

Ohio Cylinder

I purchased a new Canon 7D three weeks ago and have taken 1200 photos since my purchase. On October 25, 2011, I went out on the deck and noticed a small bird up in a tree and set the camera to 100 ISO, f/36 and a shutter speed of 1/20. I snapped a few shots and the next day that I noticed the strange objects in the shot. A jet is at the bottom, although looks odd and too bright. I haven't got a clue what the black object is above. I checked the other photos that I took during the same shoot and I found what looks like a jet flying almost vertical towards the ground. One of the jets near the object performed an abnormal maneuver. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Beavercreek -- I was sitting at the intersection and as an astronomer, it is a habit of mine to look up at the night sky and I noticed ten glowing, pulsing, and red lights in the sky. On October 22, 2011, my experience told me that what I was looking at was not natural and I immediately pulled out my iPod Touch and began filming. It was not the ROSAT satellite which fell that night but not in that area. The extremely high lights drifted silently across the sky past Jupiter that is the center light. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Oregon Disc

Mcminnville -- The disk like shape in the sky was in the sky facing west, towards the Cascade Range on October 24, 2011. The light grey appearance would change, to lighter gray as the object moved and tilted in large circle track. At times the object would partially appear solid and transparent as it turned in slow large sweeping turn and tilted. I could only view it with my naked eye. This object was stunning and left me with an uncomfortable feeling as it flew away Thanks to MUFON CMS

Texas Entity

ORANGE -- I woke up with my head turned to the side of my bed and opened my eyes to a being about 3 to 3-1/2 feet tall. The entity appeared to be female in orientation. "She" had her hair, which appeared to be black, pulled in to either a tight bun or pony tail behind her head. Her skin appeared to be a dark olive tone. She wore clothes but I don't remember them in detail. I knew she was "otherworldly" because of her facial features. Her eyes were small and completely black; she did not blink the entire time she was in my presence. Her mouth was lip-less and in a straight line on her face; it was also slightly parted. She also had extremely high cheek bones. Her body did not move but she spoke to me telepathically. I don't remember what she said, but I do recall it was a reprimand of some kind and that I replied in a sarcastic manner. At no point did I feel afraid. My dog also acknowledged the being. I after she spoke, I looked to the foot of my bed where my dog was running towards me. When I looked back to the being, she stayed visible for about two seconds then disappeared. Because of her human like appearance I question wither or not this was a full blooded entity or a hybrid. I had the overwhelming feeling that she was familiar to me and that we were used to each other's presence. This is my first memorably run-in with a being however I've had several indications that something may be going on. Just over a month ago, for instance, I found a red, freshly healed scoop mark on my inner thigh.

LAREDO -- I looked up with my binoculars on October 23, 2011, WOW! First time I've seen one so close with binoculars. It was massive and was also seen by Mexican Officials and Airlines during the same time span. I have been a UFO watcher for years, but this is my first encounter up so close! Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS

San Antonio -- On October 23, 2011, my husband and I witnessed seeing a ufo, about 2 PM, while heading home on IH 35 south. He asked me "What does that look like to you, it doesn't look like a plane." I saw a shiny metallic flying object that it would disappear then reappear that didn't look like a plane; I have never seen anything like it. My daughter witnessed the same thing. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Wisconsin Triangle

Mukwonago -- My 13 year-old son spotted three bright orange lights in the sky while I was driving on October 23, 2011, at 10:15 PM. I was driving closer and pulled into a driveway 200 feet from away from a triangle hovering 200 feet high.

I rolled my window down but could not hear anything. We went home to report to husband and drove back...saw nothing. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com/

Worldwide Sightings

Australia

Melbourne -- Image was taken May 13, 2010, by Nick of object over my house.

Canada Triangle and Orbs

Carleton Place -- My husband and I were admiring the stars and saw a low flying triangle shaped flying object with three red lights flying in a straight line over our home on October 22, 2011, at 10:50 PM. We only saw it for about ten seconds and then it was no longer visible. It had three red circle shaped areas at each point of the triangle. It looked almost completely flat and was like a shadow passing above us. It was also silent. This is the second time my husband has seen it and my first time. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com/

TORONTO -- On October 14, 2011, about 8 PM went out to take photos of the orbs. Upon taking the photos with a flash on the lightships really power up with a huge surge of light coming from them which makes them appear on photos really well. At this point when I click on the camera in sequence I'm able to see whether the ship comes much closer. It's quiet spectacular to witness these sightings! Thanks to MUFON CMS

Denmark Photo

Looking at your latest Files...I noticed a black object taken in Denmark which was very similar to an object I sent to you, which was taken in Laughlin, Nevada in 2010. Thanks to Kathy in Australia...

India Moving Objects

NEW DELHI -- My friends and I were standing outside watching fireworks and socializing celebrating Diwali on October 26, 2011. Suddenly a friend pointed towards the sky at a very bright object flying across the sky. It didn't look like an aeroplane, being way too bright. Then within another five minutes a similar object crossed the sky. We rushed to the terrace to see it and saw another one nearby. Then they disappeared. And just as we were leaving suddenly one of those popped up again and this time very and got dimmer and vanished again. Again after ten minutes it came back. But this time from the opposite side and again crossed the whole sky. And I haven't seen anything like it. It was so different. I captured a lot of photos and videos. I've written a blog about the event -

UK Cone

Warrington -- It s like an ice cream cone hovering over the houses on October 10, 2011, at 16:08 GMT.

29 October 2011 Last updated at 23:36 GMT By Professor W Joseph Campbell American University, Washington DC

Orson Welles would later go on to direct Citizen Kane

Mass panic and hysteria swept the United States on the eve of Halloween in 1938, when an all-too-realistic radio dramatisation of The War of the Worlds sent untold thousands of people into the streets or heading for the hills.

The radio show was so terrifying in its accounts of invading Martians wielding deadly heat-rays that it is remembered like no other radio programme.

Or, more accurately, it is misremembered like no other radio programme.

Radio unreality

The panic and terror so routinely associated with The War of the Worlds dramatisation did not come close to a nationwide dimension that night 73 years ago.

Sure, some Americans were frightened or disturbed by what they heard. But most listeners, overwhelmingly, were not. They recognised it for what it was - a clever and entertaining radio play.

The War of the Worlds dramatisation was the inspiration of Orson Welles, director and star of the Mercury Theatre on the Air, an hour-long programme that aired on Sunday evenings on CBS Radio.

Welles was 23 years old, a prodigy destined for lasting fame as director and star of the 1941 motion picture, Citizen Kane.

His adaptation of The War of the Worlds, a science fiction thriller written by HG Wells and published in 1898, was little short of brilliant.

Further radio dramatisations of War of the Worlds spread, including this British production in 1952

What made the show so compelling was the use of simulated on-the-scene radio reports telling of the first landing of Martian invaders near Princeton, New Jersey, and their swift and deadly advance to New York City.

American audiences had become accustomed to news reports interrupting radio programmes. They had heard them often during the war scare in Europe in late summer and early autumn of 1938.

Welles played on this familiarity to stunning effect. In doing so, he created a delicious and tenacious media myth.

Newspaper headlines across America told of the terror that Welles' show supposedly created.

"Radio Listeners in Panic, Taking War Drama as Fact," declared the New York Times. "Radio Fake Scares Nation," cried the Chicago Herald and Examiner. "US Terrorized By Radio's 'Men From Mars,'" said the San Francisco Chronicle.

Exaggerated effect

Yet we know from several sources that the reports of thousands of panic-stricken Americans were wildly exaggerated.

Hadley Cantril, a Princeton University psychologist, estimated that six million people listened to The War of the Worlds dramatisation. Of that number, perhaps 1.2 million listeners were "frightened" or "disturbed" by what they heard, Mr Cantril figured.

"Frightened" and "disturbed," of course, are hardly synonymous with "panic-stricken." Overall, Mr Cantril's data signal that most listeners, by far, were not upset by the show.

Close reading of contemporaneous newspaper reports also reveals the fright that night was highly exaggerated.

Newspapers presented sweeping claims about thousands or even millions of panic-stricken Americans, but offered little supporting documentation.

Most newspapers printed dispatches sent by wire services such as the Associated Press, which extrapolated widespread fear from small numbers of scattered, anecdotal accounts.

Newspapers, moreover, reported no deaths or serious injuries related to The War of the Worlds broadcast: had panic and hysteria seized America that night, the mayhem surely would have caused many deaths and injuries.

For newspapers, the so-called "panic broadcast" brought newspapers an exceptional opportunity to censure radio, a still-new medium that was becoming a serious competitor in providing news and advertising.

Newspaper leader columns in the days immediately after the broadcast helped deepen the impression that Welles' programme had sown hysteria.

"Radio is new but it has adult responsibilities," chided the New York Times. "It has not mastered itself or the material it uses."

Despite its wobbly basis, the myth of mass panic remains steadfastly attached to The War of the Worlds programme. It is part of the lore of Orson Welles, the bad-boy genius who did his best work before he turned 30.

And it's a tale just too delectable not to be true.

W Joseph Campbell is a professor at American University in Washington, DC. He wrote about the myth of The War of the Worlds programme in his latest book, Getting It Wrong. He often writes about media myths at his blog, Media Myth Alert.

UFO over New York City on October 6, 2011

What to read past issues? View Filer's Files Archives

In special reports, this week's files cover: Lord Dowding says, "UFOs Are Extraterrestrial, Alien Photographed in Brazil, Our Sun is Active, China Plans to Own the Moon, Rays May Indicate Someone Else is Mining the Moon, and Comet Elenin Zips by Earth in Pieces.

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Washington.

Sightings of UFOs were also reported in Canada, Chili, Denmark, Dominican Republic, France, India, Puerto Rico, South Africa, Sweden, and England in the United Kingdom.

The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force. Under Project Blue Book, the US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years; and we continue this research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO's are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Special Reports

1954, Lord Dowding says, "UFOs Are Extraterrestrial"

Air Chief Marshal Lord Dowding, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Air Force Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain,

"More than 10,000 sightings have been reported, the majority of which cannot be accounted for by any "scientific explanation... I am convinced that these objects do exist and that they are not manufactured by any nation on Earth. I can therefore see no alternative to accepting the theory that they come from some extraterrestrial source.

Printed in Sunday Dispatch, London, July 11, 1954.

Alien Photographed in Brazil

A still from a video apparently taken by British tourists in Mamas region of the Amazon showing an alien-like creature standing in the Brazilian jungle..

The Brazilian-alien rainforest: is this creature exclusively pictured in the Amazon Jungle's Rainforest from outer space?! What is the mysterious-looking "light orb" trailing the alien being ... his energy or weapons pack?! / has the rainforest replaced area 51 as the aliens' new home base on earth on earth?! -- By Simon Tomlinson, the Mail Online.

Our Sun is Active

Solar activity is now unusually active with risks of M-class flares from a series of sunspot regions close to the west limb of the Sun. An M1 flare occurred on October 22, 2011 most likely from region 1314 or 1319, peaking around 11:10 UT. The sun's flares were followed by eruptions on Mount Etna volcano on the island of Sicily, southern Italy. Ash from the eruption has caused a closure at the airport in nearby Catania, Sicily's second-largest city.

Etna was shooting lava 300 feet (100 meters) into the air.

A powerful 7.2 earthquake hit Eastern Turkey on October 23, 2011, apparently causing the deaths of hundreds.

China Plans to Own the Moon

Forget simply putting a man on the moon. China's ambition of placing an operational lunar base on the moon's surface could be the first step in a move to gain territorial and mineral rights by right of presence and development.

Robert Bigelow, hotel magnate and aerospace entrepreneur, has a dire warning for the world, "Not only is China now the dominant manufacturing entity on the planet, it might soon say the same thing off Earth as well. In fact, the Asian nation could very well own the moon before long. With plans to establish a manned lunar facility in a few years, China has plans to be the first nation to establish a base of operations on the moon. Bigelow believes that it will be just the first step in a lunar land grab by the Chinese, one complete with territorial dominance and mineral rights. China's population explosion can be used to colonize the Moon.

In what Bigelow refers to as "Solar System Monopoly," it appears as if China will be the first to "Pass Go, Collect $200" and begin to acquire real estate off-planet. With plenty of money, a national direction, and the personnel and technology to do it, it has been reported that China could have a moon base up and functioning in the mid-2020. But according to Discovery News, by the time U.S. astronauts return to the moon they may need permission to touch down -- from China, which is laying the groundwork for a lunar land grab, says long-time space advocate and entrepreneur Robert Bigelow.

Owning the moon is the first step in a game Bigelow, founder of Nevada-based Bigelow Aerospace, calls "Solar System Monopoly."

"This will characterize the 21st and 22nd centuries and beyond. If we ignore this, it will be at our extreme peril," Bigelow said at the International Symposium for Personal and Commercial Spaceflight under way this week in Las Cruces, N.M. "This would endure for a very long time," he said. "It's priceless. ... Nothing else that China could possibly do in the next 15 years could produce as great a benefit."

China is aiming to establish a Moon base by 2020. With the newly discovered mineral richness of Earth's nearest neighbor, China could set up mining operations, establishing de facto monopolies over titanium and Helium-3, that are rare on Earth but found with regularity on the moon. H elium-3 will someday be used as fuel for nuclear fusion without the threat of radiation. The moon's raw materials could also be turned into the water, oxygen, building materials and rocket fuel needed for human exploration. But Bigelow said the biggest payoff would come in the form of international prestige, just as it did for the United States after the moon landings.

Bigelow, who founded Bigelow Aerospace and has developed inflatable space modules (in an enterprise designed for a "hotel in space" experience that he hopes to have operational by 2016), believes that the U. S. needs to rekindle its commitment to space exploration and the fear of a Chinese presence on the moon might just do that.

"Hopefully this will produce the fear factor necessary to motivate Americans," he said.

Even without the fear, the U. S. is ill-suited to do anything in the way of competition for the Chinese. With the retirement of the shuttle program in July, NASA manned missions are in suspension for an indeterminate time. Astronaut missions at the International Space Station (ISS) will be accomplished with the help of the Russians, who will ferry Americans to the ISS for the next decade or so.

So who will contest the Chinese? Apparently, no country is in the economic position to compete with China for the moon. The US may have to reveal its military space capabilities or partner with private space exploration companies such as his own and Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic.

In short, China could build a lunar base and begin mining, claiming both territory and mineral rights for its own. From a central position, it could then manufacture outposts, other mining operations, extending its territory. Japan has plans to build a lunar base as well, but not until 2030. By then, they might need permission to land -- or be relegated to areas of the moon less optimal for establishing a base, less mineral rich, perhaps even dependent upon the Chinese for a water supply. Water was discovered on the moon by a NASA probe in 2010, thereby fostering ideas of self-sustaining long-term lunar facilities.

Mark Sirangelo of Sierra Nevada Corp., one of several firms working to develop commercial passenger spaceships for NASA and other potential users, In the last two years, the Obama administration has killed both the Constellation program (designed as America's next man-on-the-moon project) and placed a spending freeze on NASA's budget, suspending it at roughly the same as the 2010 fiscal budget for the following five years.

China Satellite Parked in Space After Visiting Moon

China's second moon probe called Chang'e 2 , is parked at a stable spot in deep space, called a Lagrangian point, as part of a new mission to study the sun, Earth's magnetic field and alien spacecraft movement.

The multi-tasking spacecraft completed its moon mapping mission in June and is now conducting reconnaissance of space at a stable point in space on the side of the Earth opposite the sun. Its new mission may be a signal of China's expanding prowess in space. At L2, Chang'e 2 is about 932,056 miles (1.5 million kilometers) from Earth. Most Marvelous Moon Missions ]

Rays May Indicate Someone Else is Mining the Moon

With binoculars anyone can view various craters on the Moon with bright rays expanding out from the craters. Rays are the most mysterious and most extraordinary features on the Moon. Astronomers believe the rays are composed of fine particles explosively ejected when a meteorite hits the lunar surface. The rays are likely pulverized rock of the kind that Those who ascribe to theories of rays being formed by finely pulverized ejecta that radiate from meteorite craters must explain why less than half the craters have rays. The rays of Tycho 85 mile diameter crater extend for over a thousand miles radiating from the outer walls even to the limit of the visible hemisphere.

A simple lunar impact crater. This small, well-preserved crater (Moltke: D = 7 km) shows features typical of simple impact craters: a circular outline, a bowl-like shape, an uplifted rim, and hummocky deposits of ejecta around the rim. covers the lunar surface A crater is formed when ejecta is ejected generally in a circular pattern around the crater for a few miles. However, strange white trails called rays are visible on the lunar surface that go on for hundreds of miles. It seems unlikely that any meteoritic impact would create rays that form single lines for these long distances. When the astronauts reached the Moon they complained about the white dust they picked up on their feet and clothing and carried inside their craft. The UFOs frequently seen on the Moon could logically spread the white dust.

We now know minerals and water exists on the Moon along with evidence of mining. Let's assume that mining is a reality on the Moon and that spaceships would pick up the white dust as they land and are loaded. When the ships take off the dust would tend to fall off leaving a trial or path across the lunar surface. This Apollo photos shows an elliptical crater 1 km long with an unusual, wing like pattern of rays in Mare Tranquillity near where Apollo 11 landed. AS15-9254P

http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/SP-362/ch5.2.htm . I suggest this pattern would more likely be formed by mining activities than a meteoritic impact.

Orbital view of the unusual Moon craters Messier and Messier A from Apollo 15 . From images like this, lunar scientists have concluded that these lunar craters were produced by high velocity projectiles following shallow trajectories traveling from east (upper right) to west (lower left).

This unique crater, situated in Mare Fecunditatis has a form deviating remarkably from the usual circular one and has two bright and conspicuous rays. Messier is about 1,250 meters deep and of an elongated form, measuring about 11 km in length and 8 km in width. Its longitude is 48 deg East and its latitude at 2 deg South.

Messier A lies about 20 km west of Messier, at a longitude of 47.6 deg East, latitude 1.9d South. It is a double crater, measuring 11 x 13 km. The smaller, older crater was superimposed by a newer, a bit larger crater. The bright double ray, reaching out from these two craters to the West for 120 km resembles a comet with a tail. Scientists claim the craters and the rays were probably created by a very narrow-angle grazing impact.

I suggest that mining dust carried by spacecraft could explain the unusual patterns.

There is no atmosphere on the Moon to cause erosion and cause the rays to disappear from most of the craters. The rays do not extend uniformly in all directions, but suggest a route traveled by spaceships carrying minerals.

Moon Express Passes Test

Moon Express, a Google Lunar X PRIZE contender, announced that it has successfully demonstrated a critical component of its lunar landing technology to NASA under its Innovative Lunar Demonstration Data (ILDD) Program contract. The Moon Express Mini-Radar System promises to radically reduce the cost and mass of the company's commercial lunar landing system. NASA has reviewed and accepted the Moon Express Mini-Radar data package under the company's commercial lunar data contract.

Radar provides autonomous landing spacecraft with crucial ranging information to the surface and has been one of the most challenging and high risk elements of all Lander systems.

These included multiple dynamic tests on the Lunar Lander Test Vehicle, developed in partnership with NASA, and long range tests on the Zeppelin Eureka', owned and operated by Airship Ventures, which took the Mini-Radar on flight tests. Jain's company plans to piggyback on private shuttle flights, using them to carry his lunar Landers and mining platforms to the moon.

Doomsday' Comet Elenin Zips by Earth in Pieces

Mike Wall writes, Amateur astronomer Michael Mattiazzo of Castlemaine, Australia caught these two images of comet Elenin on Aug. 19 (left) and Sept. 6, 2011. The images show a rapid dimming of the comet, hinting at its disintegration.

CREDIT: Michael Mattiazzo. We can all breathe a sigh of relief: The so-called "doomsday comet" Elenin made its closest flyby of Earth Sunday (Oct. 16), and no cataclysms ensued. Some sky watching soothsayers had predicted that Elenin's approach Sunday would trigger catastrophic earthquakes and tsunamis. Others had sounded even more dire alarms, suggesting that Elenin was not a comet at all but a rogue planet called Nibiru whose Earth encounter could usher in the apocalypse.

But none of that came to pass, as Elenin zipped by our planet at the safe remove of 22 million miles (35.4 million kilometers) and sped off into deep space. Or crumbs of the comet did, anyway. [ Gallery: Comet Elenin in Pictures]

The comet began breaking up after getting hammered by a powerful solar storm in August, and a close pass by the sun on Sept. 10 apparently finished Elenin off, scientists say. So what cruised by Earth over the weekend was likely a stream of debris, not an intact comet.

"Now it's just a cloud of particles that will follow along in the comet's path and exit the solar system, and we won't see any of the particles for at least another 12 millenia," said astronomer Don Yeomans, of the Near-Earth Object Program Office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

A small, unremarkable comet

Comet Elenin was discovered in December 2010 by Russian amateur astronomer Leonid Elenin. The comet's core likely measured 2 to 3 miles (3 to 5 km) across before it broke up, scientists say.

The apocalyptic rumor mill generated by Elenin's arrival on the sky watching scene was completely unwarranted, Yeomans said. The comet was far too small to influence Earth gravitationally, and it never posed a danger of hitting our planet.

The school bus-size space rock passed with 212,000 miles (341,000 km) of Earth — just inside the orbit of the moon. Like Elenin, 2009 TM8 never posed a danger of striking us, astronomers said. The prophecies about Elenin failed to come true. Thanks to SPACE.com senior writer Mike Wall.

Sightings in the United States

Arkansas Oblong

Blevins -- We saw an unknown oblong shaped object moving east fast on September 22, 2011, at 7:04 PM. There was a jet following not far behind that looked to be white or silver in color.

There was no sound nor could we make out any wings or lights on it. We used a Droid X phone to take pictures so they are not the best of quality. Thanks to William Puckett Director UFOs Northwest http://ufosnw.com

California Disc Photo and Triangle

CoalingS -- My girlfriend is a wildfire photographer and after we became close friends so I wouldn't laugh, she showed me her UFO photo taken in 2006.

While photographing a grass fire east of Coalings, CA, she set her camera to auto at one frame per second. In one frame, a disc shaped object with a dark circular dot on the underside appears. It does not show in time stamped frames one second before or after. Under magnification, the object appears to eclipse a power line behind it!

A fire official asked for a copy. No aircraft were dispatched on this fire and no other aircraft were observed in the area, Thanks to MUFON CMS

VALLEY VILLAGE -- I was driving home on Route 101 at 11:23 pm on October 14, 2011, when I saw four very bright lights in the air. They looked like bright car headlights illuminating the foggy cloud cover around them. I thought it was a jet taking off from Burbank Airport, but the light coming down from the craft illuminated a patch of highway. It was only a 100 feet high as it passed over my car flying about 35 mph with four bright white lights. I saw a silver-colored triangular object with steady red light at the point, two green lights midway down each side, and with lights at the rear corners. Thanks to MUFON CMS .and Ken Pfeifer www.world UFO photos.com

Connecticut Disc

MYSTIC -- Began our trip home to Hartford after dinner and opened the moon roof to feel the clear night air on October 9, 2011 traveling at 60 mph. I saw a blinking object off in the distance. At 7:25 pm near exit 73 all cars on Route I-95 came to a complete stop because of an accident. We were sitting on the highway with a long line of red taillights in a vast parking lot. I looked up through the moon roof and hovering above us was a large flat rounded disk with five reticulating lights. It was 500 feet above us and 200 feet from the road. Then fifty feet below the first, lights came on and off a second disc. These two objects were within 100 feet of each other and looked identical except for different operation of the lights.

I was in shock, as I have never seen a disc before let alone two at one time. Later, as we drove away I could still see one stationary object in the rear view mirror with its lights blinking on and off? These objects were disk shaped with perhaps fifteen to twenty lights around the entire circumference of the craft. The objects were two half's of an inverted bowl. Each silver craft was about 80 feet long with a height of its length. I contacted the police but they did not respond. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Delaware Lights

HARRINGTON -- I was driving to my farm on October 7, 2011, and while adjusting my sun visor two shiny silver crafts caught my eye. I saw one, then another about a mile behind it 10,000 feet up. I tried to take pictures but they did not show up on camera. They were cigar shaped with no wings with a black band in the middle.

Two days later, about a mile away I saw the same craft. The above image is a rendering. Thanks to KEN PFEIFER WWW.WORLD UFO PHOTOS.COM and MUFON CMS system.

Florida Lights

St. Petersburg --These three photos were taken from my cell phone on October 15, 2011 at 7:10 PM, in a Winn Dixie Parking lot. People were pointing at the lights and I shot images. This third one is so amazing you can see such clear detail when you zoom in. I am going down to the spot tonight and see if I can capture more. My cell phone seems quick enough to capture great details.

Note: The photos show mid to high cloudiness. Ironically the local weather observations do not indicate any cloudiness. Sunset was at 7:10 PM EDT (about 10 minutes before the photos were taken).

Comments -- On October 15, 2011 at 11:30 PM I saw the same triangular lights in Sarasota that were reported earlier that evening in St. Petersburg. They traveled slowly east and faded away. Thanks to William Puckett Director UFOs Northwest http://ufosnw.com

Illinois Disc

Country Club Hills -- It was 7:40 PM, on a cloudy night two friends and myself saw a bright silver saucer in the sky that moved slowly then almost stopped on October 18, 2011. It returned to its normal speed as a red light circled around it. During this ten minute event four planes passed over. After the event the sky got brighter.

(NUFORC Note: Our Center has received reports that there was a commercial blimp cruising over Illinois, but has not been confirmed.) Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com/

Indiana 1890 UFO

LOGANSPORT -- This is a strange story I thought I should share to see if anybody could do anything with it. I have a video tape of my great grandma and her sisters talking about old stories when they were kids. One sister started talking about a story her father made her promise to never talk about, but since she was over 90 years old she didn't think it mattered anymore. Apparently, the event took place in the Logansport, Indiana area about 1890. My Great Aunt would take a horse and cart bringing lunch out to where her father and grandfather were working. She heard them yelling at her to get inside the woods nearby and hide.

She complied and they told her that they had been watching some sort of flying machine that didn't make any sort of noise flying around the field. They watched little people get out of the craft and take pieces of corn and soil, and then they flew away. The men had been hiding in the woods for some time afraid to leave. All the people in the video have now passed on, but my Grandma who is now in her mid 80's, gave me this tape because she was curious if I could find any other reports from that time frame of anybody reporting the same sort of thing. I have the tape of the story, and that's about it. Thanks to William Puckett Director UFOs Northwest http://ufosnw.com

Michigan Mothership

LAKE MICHIGAN -- My son and I were outside in are front yard on October 22, 2011 at 9:30 PM, when we saw several objects, let's call them craft flying directly above us. The best way to describe it is looked like a fleet of triangular ships that were different sizes. Six small ones were heading in a straight line east to west, four medium and one massive triangle, a mothership was at the end of the convoy. The smaller craft were flying like geese heading south at first, but then they broke off in different directions and formed a tight triangle. They did this a couple times always heading due west. The medium triangles followed the BIG one. I lost sight of them when they reached Lake Michigan shoreline. We saw them clearly. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Minnesota Light

Mankota -- I saw this orange light in the sky moving very fast. I heard no sound at all October 15, 2011 at 9 PM. I thought that you could post it.

Note: Increasing the brightness reveals a building which reveals that the movement of the light is real and not due to camera movement. Many sightings of orange orbs have been reported throughout the U.S. and Canada in the past few months. Thanks to William Puckett Director UFOs Northwest http://ufosnw.com

New York City Triangle

NEW YORK CITY -- My wife and I were out on the balcony of our high rise overlooking the Hudson River on October 6, 2011, and we first noticed it close to the George Washington Bridge. The light was huge but did not move and lights were circling underneath the object. It changed shapes for over an hour. We have a great view in all directions and see numerous aircraft, but we have not seen anything like this. I used a Nikon Coolpix L110, 12.1 Megapixel, 15X wide optical zoom VR. I was really taken back by what I saw. Special thanks to the photographer Ibrahim Varol of New York City and Ken Pfeifer www.world ufo photos.com.

South Carolina Blue Triangular Glow

Bluffton -- We were walking home at 10:50 PM, when we noticed a light that was too bright in the night sky moving horizontally and then vertically at a very fast rate on October 1, 2011. We stopped to look and saw that the light was triangular glow from the craft-looked blue in color. The craft was very high up further away than some planes. We continued to watch the craft for another 15 minutes as it moved up and down, side to side very quickly. I know it's not either a plane or helicopter, because neither can move that quickly from vertical to horizontal.
I am a female, 59 years old who lives in Texas where my husband sighted a UFO on our ranch in College Station about seven years ago. We own an oilfield service company. My companion at the sighting was my 61 years old psychologist sister-in-law and 60 year old teacher friend.

Tennessee Triangles

COLUMBIA -- On October 9, 2011, at 9 PM, as I traveled home from a house 1.5 miles away from mine, I began to notice a new light installed on the Baptist Church, but soon came to realize it was a triangular shaped craft with three bottom bright lights. The lights on the craft were so bright they illuminated the ground below the craft and temporarily blinded me. It was moving slowly only thirty feet above ground causing me to swerve as the craft rotated, much like how a helicopter lowers its nose so that the pilot could look towards the ground ahead of the craft. I tried to take a picture. I felt cold and light headed as this craft obviously searching for something. After "looking at me" for a few seconds the craft moved above my vehicle, and in fear I sped off towards my house. It was headed northwest and flying very low and suddenly disappeared.

Are they are returning to attempt to find the civilizations they left long ago? What sort of intentions do they have? Thanks to Ken Pfeifer www.worldufophotos.com, and MUFON CMS

Memphis -- These solid black triangles were hovering at 2 pm last week and witnessed by a veteran police officer. This is a computer-generated sketch he made of exactly what he saw. He determined with the Weather Bureau that the altitude of the cloud cover at the time was 4000 feet, and these craft were right under it. His sighting lasted for only ten seconds; and when he turned to tell two other officers to take a look, but when they did, the two mysterious craft had just disappeared. If anybody can possibly identify these things as secret military craft of some kind, please contact me Eddie Middleton, Tennessee State MUFON Director at eddiemiddleton@yahoo.com.

Texas Triangle

San Benito -- On October 1, 2011, a v' shaped silent object was spotted traveling southeast with dim white lights in South Texas. The silent low V' shaped flying object was traveling southeast at 60 mph with dim fluorescent color of lights.

Washington Report

OCEAN SHORES -- Northwest Cable News reports on an investigation into a reported UFO sighting.Around 8:15 PM, Tuesday night several people reported seeing a glowing glob of red light that traveled north along the beach. It paused, and then went westbound over the ocean at a high rate of speed before it disappeared. Two Ocean Shores policeofficers and a couple of civilian witnesses reported seeing the object. This isn't the first time someone's reported seeing a UFO there. Police are investigating the possibility that the lights came from a radio controlled airplane; we're thinking more along the lines of a message from Vega. Thanks to Northwest focus and Error!

Worldwide Sightings

Canada Orange Lights

Thunder Bay -- I was explaining to a friend about the night sky, when I had this sense something was there at 12:53 AM, on October 1, 2011. I saw dim orange lights on a silent object. When I looked back up in the sky, I saw a "T" like figure with only one side of the "T" visible. There were nine very dim lights from a possible craft that was translucent, silent and using the stars as a camouflage. It was only visible for a few seconds but when I looked up it was gone. The craft started to turn 90 degrees in all directions, left to right, and spun from side to side. It was only 200-250 feet in the air hovering above me when I looked up. It was 1 1/2 times bigger than the moon. The object looked like an: 0 000 00000. I felt like it was watching me.

Chile UFO Video

SANTIAGO -- Billy Booth writes, "There were power blackouts in Chile on the 24th of September in Santiago and surrounding areas. During this time, a number of UFO sightings were reported, and several individuals were able to record video of UFOs. Some blamed the blackouts on the UFOs, but Energy Minister Rodrigo Alvarez stated that the cause was not known, that might be computer problems.

The blackout occurred at 8:30 PM, and power was partially restored in two hours.

Denmark Photo

Bretleben -- My daughter (10) who was standing at the window pointed at something in the sky on October 14, 2011, at 18:30 GMT. I asked her if it was an airplane, helicopter or balloon, she said, "No, something else. I agreed and called my wife who came and saw the same object. We looked through a telescope and took photos. The object looks like a probe and rotates slowly and has sometimes a butterfly look. It doesn't look like it was made on earth. We lost it after five minutes. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Dominican Republic Boomerang Shaped Lights

Barahona -- Lights shaped like boomerang on October 2, 2011, at 9:50 PM. The object was seen for 15 seconds. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com/

France Boomerang

PARIS -- On June 26, 2011, about 1 AM, I made an observation of a UFO about a dark and silent boomerang above Paris buildings. I was lying down in the grass and watching the sky starting around 11 PM and spent about an hour in that way. Approaching midnight I was astonished to two stars moving together in the same direction. I realized that those lights were surrounded by another light what gave the object a boomerang shape. The object had four lights on one side and two on the other moving to the southwest.

The object was dark and looked transparent because the color was the same as the sky. It was close and much bigger than the other aircraft I could observe. I could see in the sides of the boomerang wings plus six airplanes flying in the same direction. After ten minutes of observation when trying to take photos the object disappeared. I called the police to leave a report. Thanks to MUFON CMS

South Africa Circles of Light

Gordon's Bay -- A October 22,201, report states, "Tonight six of us saw the weirdest blue, green, red, and yellow distinct circles of light hovering and moving around up in the sky. We were up on the hill overlooking the bay and saw lights above the beachfront. Our friend Roger went outside to smoke and a saw them and called us so they could have been there longer. We watched from 10.15 pm to about 10.45 PM, until they suddenly just went out. A big angular butterfly' shape with squarish wings' continued to "float and be visible until the clouds covered it for about five minutes. We could see it through the binoculars. The circles were definitely distinct dots of lights that kept changing. green, blue, red yellow, They looked like the Olympic circles continuously turning around each other and flashing,

The object would move across the sky and then hover in place changing to a white light and then the Olympic circle' type lights would start flashing again. My sister and I have footage that is a bit cloudy. Thanks to Nina Schidt at UFOINFO.com

Sweden UFO Disc

Svedalen -- Tracey Parece reports, "On Wednesday, October 19, 2011, a UFO was spotted in the skies over Svedalen, Sweden. The UFO was reportedly seen flying to close to a mountain by a man who has been recording UFO videos and sharing them online since September 2010 under the name CosmicStarTraveler.

The observer was cooking food when he spotted the UFO out the window of his home. Fortunately, he was able to grab his video camera and record the large glowing disc.

The UFO seemed to change shape and become brighter. The amazing close-up photograph of this UFO shows a flat glowing disc illuminated by an orange light. The video shows that the object had multiple blinking lights and was definitely not an airplane. See YouTube.
