In special reports, this weeks files cover: Commander Graham Bethunes UFO Sighting, War of the Worlds May be Real, Mars Gorilla-like Creature in NASA Photo, Mars Mystery: Heres What We Know, China Lands First Jet on Aircraft Carrier, ISS Spots UFO? Colonel Amos Chalif Dies, and Maltas Ancient Ruts

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.

Special Reports

Commander Graham Bethune UFO Sighting

Commander Graham Bethune is a retired Navy Pilot and a good friend. During his 26 years of active duty he qualified in over 100 different models of aircraft.

In February 5, 1951, he and two other Navy Pilots were sent to Keflavik, Iceland on a Secret mission to meet with the Icelandic Government and Lockheed Overseas, who managed the Airport.

On February 10, 1951, while Piloting a four engine Navy R5D Transport returning from Keflavik, to Argentia, Newfoundland, he had an eight minute encounter with an "Unidentified Flying Object" that was 300 feet in diameter.

The first chapter of Major Keyhoe's book "Flying Saucers Top Secret" is devoted to this famous encounter

During the Disclosure Project, Commander Bethune revealed his Flight 124 from Keflavik, Iceland was involved with a near miss of a UFO in 1951, about 300 miles outside of Argentia, Newfoundland, over the Atlantic Ocean flying a R5D aircraft. Here is Grahams account of his sighting.

My name is Graham Bethune. I am a commander, retired pilot from the Navy and I went through the regular Navy program of training pilots. I graduated in 1943 from Pensacola Academy Air. All Navy pilots are trained navigators, which is very important because we had to know all of the star system. I navigated maybe 13 years around the planet with the stars. And when I first graduated from Pensacola in 1943 I went to the South Atlantic and we were hunting German submarines. This was all night flying.

Everything we did was at night in patrol planes.

I was transferred to Air Transport Squadron One in 1950. I was sent to Keflavik, Iceland, along with two other officers after a meeting that they had in Washington, D.C., where Iceland was involved in seeing UFOs over Keflavik, Iceland, and they wanted troops up there to protect them.

During our meeting they were explaining to us why they had requested the troops and what they were seeing. And we asked them if they could really go into more detail about the type of craft that they were seeing. And their explanation was that they were seeing lighted circular craft at night. And we knew coming from a Naval Air Test Center, that we had nothing like that that we had tested.

So I asked them, well, what did our government tell you that they were? And they said, "Your government said they were experimental, probably experimental Russian bombers."

The flight was normally about ten hours. But this particular night we had a 16-knot head wind. "About maybe 300 to 400 miles outside of Argentia, Newfoundland, I saw something below the horizon, on the water, that looked like approaching a city at night. It was just kind of an ambient light, no definition whatsoever. But it looked like we were approaching a large city at night. So I watched it for a while about 1:00 am.

Finally I called Kindens attention to it, who was sitting in the right seat. He was route checking me. He took a look at it but didnt know what it was. We couldnt figure out, there is only ocean out there. We had passed over the guard ship already. The guard ship had told us the weather was clear and no Northern Light activity, and there were no ships plotted in that area.

Control confirmed we were on course and hundreds of miles from land. So we watched it for a while and we were drifting to the right of it. Our heading was 222 degrees at 10,000 feet and we were 40 miles away originally. When we were about 25 or 30 miles away we could see defined lights and there was a pattern on the water. So, with that pattern we couldnt figure out what was going on. It was a circular pattern. And it was very large.

So I sent the crew chief back to get the other plane commander, Al Jones, because they wanted to land at Argentia. There were 31 passengers and we had two VIP crews that had pilots also, and patrol plane pilots. And at the time that they came forward, the lights went out on the water. There was nothing on the water. This was about 15 miles away. I mean it was just dark.

Now standing behind me was the navigator, the radioman, and also the plane captain the cockpit was full. All of a sudden we saw, on the water, a yellow halo that was very, very small, about 15 miles away. And it came up to 10,000 feet like that a fraction of a second.

And I thought that it was going to go right through us. So I disengaged the autopilot, pushed the nose over, because I was going to go under it at the angle that it was coming toward me.

The minute I did that it was up at our altitude and I could see nothing outside of the cockpit but this craft. And so I didnt know which way to go. And then all of a sudden I heard a racket. I didnt know what it was. And I said, "Fred, what the hell was that? He looked around and he said, "Everyone was ducking in the back of us and they collided and they are all lying on the deck back there, scrambling on the deck."

When I looked back it wasnt there. And he said, "Its over here on the right hand side. Now it was about a mile or so away. It kind of drifted forward, maybe to a position five miles away, and thats where it stayed with us for quite some time."

This is when we could first see it was below our altitude. But it was still above the horizon where you could see the side of the craft. You could see the dome and you could see the color around the perimeter of the craft.

And then we knew that it was a friendly encounter. We knew that it knew that we were there and had come out to see us. But we didnt think the reason that it flew up was because they wanted to show us what the Icelanders were talking about.

We watched it for a while and Al says, "Let him get in the seat. So I let him get in the seat and he disengaged the autopilot and was going to chase it." We had a head wind of about 60-knots, so our ground speed was only maybe 125 knots. So he wasnt going to go too far in chasing this thing. But he did turn to chase it.

Initially the UFO color was yellow. Since then I've learned from the boys upstairs why we saw different colors as it was coming toward us. The colors were around the perimeter. And it turned from a yellow to an orange to almost a fiery red and then almost a purplish red. And they said that that had to do with the amount of energy being used or dissipated. It had to do with the UFO power settings. When it slowed down, close to us, in a fraction of a second, it was back to the yellow range. And it was foggy around it or a plasma mist.

I decided to go back to see how the passengers reacted, and went to talk to the doctor. I said, "Doc, did you see what we saw? He looked me straight in the eye and said, "Yeah, it was a flying saucer. He says, "I didnt look at it because I dont believe in such things". Well, it took me a couple of seconds to realize what he was saying. He couldnt believe, being a psychiatrist, in that kind of thing. So I went back forward and I said, "Al, whatever you do dont tell anybody we saw anything, they will lock us up as soon as we get on the ground". He says, "Its too late. I just called Gander control, to see if they could track this by radar. So thats how the story got out".

When we landed at Argentia, an Air Force officer interrogated us and showed us photos of UFOs asking me to choose the type we had seen. He made a good report, which went to the headquarters of the Air Force in Washington, D.C.

Commander Bethune flew Naval Transports for 12 years, was a "VIP Transport Plane Commander," and held a "Top Secret" clearance. He was a test pilot and served six years with the Naval Bureau of Aeronautics. He accumulated over 10,000 Navy and civilian flying hours. He has flown the Secretary of the Navy, Secretary of the Army, Chief of Naval Operations, Commandant of the Marine Corps, the Supreme Allied Commander, and the NATO Commander Admiral Lynde McCormick, and numerous admirals. If a UFO crashed or an important meeting concerning UFOs occurred he would be chosen to pilot the VIPs to their destination. The other event was in the American SW, I believe Commander Bethune had mentioned somewhere in Utah - this craft was also about 100' in diameter and slightly oval - both events had high ranking US Army and Navy officers in attendance as well as scientists and academics from various stateside universities. Both discs were retrieved and brought back to Wright Patterson. 

Frank Chili sent me this photo that was given to him by Commander Bethune. He was quite insistent that US Air Force was getting the focus of UFO attention from the public, but the real player in this and always behind the scenes was the US Navy. Graham was informed by Admiral Forney himself and Graham never doubted that a ploy was set-up to divert attention away from the Navy. He also claimed we had a base on the moon and we had a Navy space shuttle fleet. He felt truth is often stranger than science fiction that ET movies are supported by the government to create acceptance. Thanks to the Disclosure Project and Frank Chili.

George Wolkind writes, "Paula and I are saddened by the news of Graham Bethunes passing away. We both really thought that he was special and he will be missed. He always treated everyone with love and respect. We honor his life and service to his country and his courage to stand up for the truth. He is and always will be the light that will never be extinguished. His wonderful smile that lit up a room now lights up the sky." Thanks to George Wolkind in Colorado. Go in Peace and Love Graham

War of the Worlds May be Real

He was afraid the words of H. G. Wells, in his War of the Worlds were realistic.

"No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than mans and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinized and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinize the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.

Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.

The immediate pressure of necessity has brightened their intellects, enlarged their powers, and hardened their hearts. And looking across space with instruments and intelligences such as we have scarcely dreamed of

And we men, the creatures who inhabit this earth, must be to them at least as alien and lowly as are the monkeys and lemurs to us. The Martians seem to have calculated their descent with amazing subtlety their mathematical learning is evidently far in excess of oursand to have carried out their preparations with a well-nigh perfect unanimity."

Mars Gorilla-like Creature in NASA Photo

Scott C. Waring and I wrote a few books and Im currently an ESL School Owner in Taiwan...

And we found this image in Gusev Crater on Mars taken by the Spirit Rover.

I found this interesting video on YouTube and the person seems to have found an actual animal on the surface of Mars. This creature's face has a mouth, cheeks, firm eyebrow area, and a gorilla-like body. Of course this could just be another ancient carving that survived the test of time. Remember the other famous statues of woman human-like figures on Mars?

Mars Mystery: Here's what we know

NASA says its Curiosity rover has made a discovery on Mars, but isn't saying more. Hypotheses have ranged from a discovery of complex organic matter to chemicals indicating the presence of water.
By J. Nicholas Hoover InformationWeek

Results of soil sample analysis by NASA's Curiosity rover may have yielded a significant scientific discovery on Mars. Until NASA makes a more detailed announcement at a conference in early December, the public will have to sift through available clues.

The discovery was made by Curiosity's Sample Analysis at Mars instrument, (SAM). The Rover's onboard chemistry lab is capable of identifying organic compounds — the carbon-containing building blocks of life. The tool's mass spectrometer separates compounds and elements by mass to help scientists identify them, while the chromatograph vaporizes samples and analyzes the resulting gasses, and the laser spectrometer measures isotopes of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in gasses. "Because these compounds are essential to life as we know it, their relative abundances will be an essential piece of information for evaluating whether Mars could have supported life in the past or present,"

China Lands First Jet on Aircraft Carrier

Beijing: The Chinese military has successfully landed a new fighter jet on the Liaoning Aircraft Carrier, according to a report by Xinhua, the state news agency. China Central Television showed a video of the J-15 jet landing on the deck of the carrier, which was put into service in September. The video also showed the yellow jet successfully taking off from the carrier. The carrier and jet are a symbol of China's modernization and its desire to extend its combat capacity.

China's military abilities and budget still lag far behind those of the United States.

China bought the carrier years ago called the Varyag from Ukraine and has completed more than 100 training and test programs. The report said the J-15 jet was designed and made in China and is the nation's "first generation multipurpose carrier-borne fighter jet." The jet is comparable to Russia's Su-33 and the United States' F-18, according to Xinhua.

ISS Spots UFO?

This image was taken by an Astronaut on the International Space Station in May of 2012.

This is an amazing UFO Photo, but it may be lightning above the clouds. This is allegedly a UFO photo from a government website.

A larger photo is at: http://UFOsightingz.blogspot.com

Maltas Ancient Ruts

David from Malta writes, "All over Malta and our sister island of Gozo in the Mediterranean Sea there are strange parallel tracks carved in the ground rock. They go off cliffs, across bays and even underwater and are believed to be prehistoric."

They are commonly called "cart ruts" but since they're so ancient and as far as I know there's no historical information about them, one can't really be sure what their function was.

This link seems to be the official website:

www.cartrutsmalta.com

We also have prehistoric temples, some of the most ancient on the planet, which were built to have astronomical functions besides religious functions. And there are also subterranean temples which have certain acoustic properties and some researchers even say could have been portals to other dimensions, but as far as I know that is just speculation.

The Austrian out of place artifact collector, Klaus Dona, has been to this island to do research concerning elongated skulls in historical museums on the island.

As you surely know, the elongated skulls phenomenon is found in other parts of the world like in South America. There are also underwater archaeological structures here like a passage way and an arch and I'm sure there is more. We can only imagine how ancient they are.

Thanks again for the great e-mails. Best regards, David Note: In Peru they are said to be related to ancient UFOs.

Colonel Amos Chalif, the 'Heart and Soul' of the Shooting Star Dies

Colonel Amos Chalif, USAF ret. takes his last flight on November 2, while waiting for a doctors appointment. Peggy his wife said it was very peaceful in the way he passed away. He was a gentleman, a great man who always supported these files. He served his country well and will be greatly missed. We drove together to Washington D.C. discussing the reality of UFOs.

Sightings in the United States

Alaska Disk

Anchorage -- A disk with a couple of bright lights was just sitting in the sky, just exactly where planes turn around Cook Inlet. When I went outside to look at it from the balcony, it changed in illumination and color, showing a spiky halo around it. Each spike was blue towards the middle, with tips/ends. It was alternating this shape with the saucer that had three bright lights. It was not windy, so it was not an airplane on a stall position. I observed it for about five minutes outside. When I went back in, it was still there. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Arkansas Rectangle

Damascus At first, I thought I saw planes flying very low, but they were silent. I have watched night after night and finally one was in the right place at right time on November 6, 2012, at 9 PM. It was a solid dark rectangle with one light in the center and one on each corner. They flash like lighting when low but stop flashing when higher. They start flying at dark and stop about 9 PM. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Arizona Light

KINGMAN -- I was driving east on the I-40, near Flagstaff, at 2AM, on November 25, 2012. It was a dark night and suddenly the northern sky became very bright. About 1000 feet AGL there was an enormous, energetic explosion of blue and white light with a shower of sparks like an electrical surge. The explosion seemed to create a ring-like effect, out of which emerged a large, oblong, glowing object. It had a blue, laser-like appearance. 

The object rapidly "skittered" and dashed across the sky, westward in 5 or 6 seconds leaving a trail of "sparks." By chance my video recorder was on and I was able to capture the majority of the event. Thanks to MUFON CMS

California Lights

Pal Verde -- This was November 14, 2012, around 8-9 PM, camping at Pal Verde on the border of California and Arizona.

We watched these lights dance in the sky for a good twenty minutes dripping fire. It was quite a spectacle :)

Thanks to Wesley Robertson

Colorado Light+

GOLDEN -- On November 25, 2012, I asked my husband to pull off the road as I saw a beautiful Sun Dog out the passenger side window and I wanted to take a photo.

I took some snapshots, as we drove further, the brilliance and size of the Sun Dog grew and I again asked him to pull over for me to try to take photos with my iPad, and I did this a few times more when the Sun Dog split into three sections, prior to arriving in Conifer.

When we finally reached our destination, we looked at the photos that showed numerous white dots that were in different locations on various photos. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Florida Moon Object

Palm Harbor -- I was driving North on County Road #1 in Dunedin area to work on November 1, 2012, and looked up to my left, to see the Moon. To my astonishment, a very bright spherical object with a pinkish hue around the edges appeared to fly off the surface of the Moon! It was ascending slightly at the 11 oclock angle. I saw this for three seconds and glanced at the road again, then right away looked up, it was still there ascending, after two seconds as I'm looking right at it, the object instantly disappeared! I about flipped out! Thanks to MUFON CMS

Hawaii Orange Spotlight

Laie An orange spotlight multiplied gradually to thirteen lights that shined on two witnesses as they fled on November 20, 2012, at 1:30 PM. It started with one bright white light that flashed to an orange spotlight, and then turned off. It then reappeared with more lights as they disappeared in a pattern until there were about thirteen lights. They shined brightly on the two witnesses as they fled Hukilau Beach. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Illinois Lights

Naperville -- I was driving on November 21, 2012, about 7:05 PM, and observed a "falling star" in the east. Fifteen minutes later as I was traveling south down Book Road and saw dim orange lights hovering at a low altitude. I decided to pull over and observe the 35 to 50 feet in diameter object. The orange lights were in a triangular pattern moving north. There also appeared to be a dim orange light connecting each of the three outer orange lights to the middle/center light. The object flew faster toward the northeast ascending and turned. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Cicero -- I went out for a smoke on November 14, 2012, and looked at the sky and saw something unusual so I went back inside and grabbed my camcorder to record this object. I saw a solid white/orb flying pass at low altitude coming from northwest to southeast that then disappeared. This UFO was flying like it was in a hurry but moving casually and smooth. I knew it wasnt a plane or balloon because it was just a white solid glowing object moving pretty quickly without making any type of noise. I was amazed to see something like this again because this wasnt the first time Ive see this object pass by. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Maryland Jellyfish UFO

BALTIMORE These objects were filmed on a Sony HD Cybershot in bright daylight on November 21, 2012. The eyewitness states, "I was unable to use the on screen monitor so much of view is out of frame. Movement was almost due south at about 20 mph. Video is a clip of almost 16 minutes of view time. The lighting was definitely a reflection from Sun, There were very wispy clouds at about 20,000 feet and object was at about this height, dropping in and out of view as obscured from clouds." Posted by Scott C Waring Share to Facebook

Michigan Light

Ferndale -- On Thanksgiving at 6:55 AM, November 22, 2012, I was just taking random pictures of my neighborhood, when I caught an object streak across the sky east of me. In the picture you can make out the white dot between the light pole and the power line pole just about dead center of both.

Note: The photo was enlarged about 1.5 times and could be Venus which was visible in the east. However, the object appears to be between the power line and the photographer so this explanation is unlikely. There may have been an electrical short on the line. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Missouri Triangle

ST. LOUIS -- It was barely visible at first, but my 11-year old daughter spotted it on November 17, 2012. Im surprised my daughter spotted it because it was hard to detect in the night sky. It was clearly a black triangle when overhead and made no noise.

It only had some faint lighting around the edges, which may have been a reflection from the city below. It disappeared over some high cirrus clouds, so it was very large. It was stunning to watch! Thanks to MUFON CMS

Montana Brown Circles

Missoula -- Various sized discolored circles were found in the backyards of houses in our subdivision using Google Earth. These were found on a map of Google Earth taken in 2011. They no longer can be seen on the new maps of Google Earth! There are no other circles in the surrounding area where we live. I do not think they were caused by fertilizer, watering, springs, etc. As you can see they are of varying size and density of color. I measured those in my backyard and they were 28 feet in diameter. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Jersey Photos

HOBOKEN -- I was leaving home at 6:45 am, Monday morning on November 14, 2012, and looked up to see a thin white elongated oval moving southwest. I quickly ran to my car and grabbed my Canon Camera 20 d and took 15 shots of the object before it passed behind my building. The object moved at a steady pace without noise. Thanks to Doug Auld

CARNEYS POINT -- I was at my residence when I received a call from Mike Nelson, who was travelling south on Route 130, a mile north of me on November 25, 2012. He reported that he was observing a group of lighted objects similar to those he observed twenty days ago. He stopped at my residence and picked me up and we travelled a mile to the Delaware River, where the objects were now visible north of the Delaware Memorial Bridge, travelling south at about 5000 feet altitude six road miles south of us.

By the time we reached the beach at Delaware Avenue ten minutes had passed. The group of objects was now located south of the bridge and only three were visible, pulsing brighter then dimmer then winking out twenty minutes into the sighting. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Oregon Orange Lights

On November 22, 2012, at around 6:15 PM, I went outside to smoke and saw a series of orange orbs in the night sky. Most of them were in a perfect equidistant line. I ran back inside and told my wife and friend to come out. The orbs stayed in position for a short time and then they started slowly moving. They were perfectly round, the size of dime at arms length and very bright orange. We just stood there and watched and noticed one was dimming and then another one appeared when the dim one disappeared. Two more appeared when others disappeared then the rest of them slowly disappeared. Some moved left, some right, some up for ten minutes. The lights are all uniform, spherical dots in the picture and don't really show the size. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Pennsylvania Photos

Lansdale -- The picture was taken on November 16, 2012, at 7:13 PM, as my sons and daughter are always camera ready. The objects are bright orange lights and I told my daughter to snap a picture. Its almost become unsurprising to my children when we see them.

We always look every night to see if lights are out of place. One was shaped like a boomerang. Five of us: my daughter 19 years, my two sons 14 and 13 and my grandson who is 4 and I saw this object. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Philadelphia On November 22, 2012, I noticed blinking lights high in sky, and thought it was a star.

I grabbed my camcorder to get a closer look, and for a brief few seconds saw two rows of lights.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Texas Lights

FLINT -- I wanted to share a video and account of a sighting that I and my daughter had on November 16, 2012.

We were celebrating my Moms 70th birthday and my 16 years old daughter had brought her telescope to watch the meteor shower scheduled that night.

We got to the marina and parked at the lakes edge and saw some moving bright stars. Around 10:30 PM, I saw a nickel size bright object that was pulsating red, white, and blue inside its core. It flew south away from us and my daughter got tired so we went home. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Virginia Picture

On November 23, 2012, I was driving through Virginia and took a picture of the clear sky with nothing in the sky.

When I looked closely there was a UFO looking object in the picture but not visual in the sky.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Worldwide UFO Sightings

 Australia Lights

MELBOURNE These lights were recorded on the same day as the 'armada fleets' footage of November 11, .2012.

Brazil Photos

RIO DAS OSTRAS --- Hello folks at MUFON, I am single and saw two UFOs around here on November 25, 2012.

I went up to the balcony of my house that has a city view and looked to the sky and went to take a picture. I saw in the camera cell phone a flying object doing strange maneuvers. I was afraid, but took five pictures using the screen to see the mobile objects. I've been running shows for my Mom. I do not know much English. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Canada Triangle

Richmond HilL On November 23, 2012, my husband and I were travelling north on Leslie, north of Elgin Mills at 6:30 PM. I first noticed the triangular object directly north of us. The distance from the left and right points on the triangle was much farther apart than the top point to the bottom. There were lights at each corner that kept changing to different colors. There were two spotlights shining on the underside or side of the object. These spotlights were on the far left and far right of the object - near the corners, and pointing toward the middle of the object.

It was between 500 and 750 feet away when I pointed it out to my husband, and we watched it travel southeast toward Markham. He was shocked and commented that he had no clue what it was. It definitely did not look like a commercial aircraft. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Toronto At 10:17 AM, on November 13, 2012, I took five pictures of the CN Tower some eight kilometers west of me at 10:17 AM. The last photo taken had a strange white translucent anomaly near the tower.

I am still uncertain if it was a plane or reflection. Could this be a UFO craft briefly uncloaked caught on film? I never saw this with the naked eye.

Note: The object(s) could be clouds? However, the fact that the objects didnt show up on other photos taken in the session casts some doubt on this explanation. The official weather observation near the time of the sighting showed a few clouds at 3,000 feet and 5,000 feet. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

India Red Circle

BANGALORE A red balloon shaped object was seen moving south across the western sky five minutes after midnight on November 19, 2012. A red circle was seen flying at moderate speed and faded out of view all of a sudden. Using binoculars, the shape of the object was like a balloon. There was an orangish glow in the lower part of the object, making it look like a flying lantern. The sighting lasted for less than a minute, until the object faded out of view.

The object did not have any sort of resemblance to an aircraft. There were no flashing lights. It was moving faster than a hot air balloon and mysteriously faded out of view. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Philippines Fireball

My husband and I saw the strange orange lights on three separate occasions. The first one was a few days ago on November 11 or 12, when I was hanging laundry on our second floor balcony at 10:20 PM. I saw a single orange light slowly moving silently above me. It slowly vanished in the clouds towards the north. I called my husband to check it out.

The second sighting was a single bright orange orb observed on November 16, 2012, at about 7 PM, flying east soundlessly that vanished in the clouds. The third one was three and half hours later, when my family was going on a road trip and saw the orange orb again going to the east. My husband yelled it wasnt an airplane, as there were 10 to 15 orbs flying east. The first group of orbs was flying in a wide triangular shape. The second group formed a line. They all vanished in the same spot.

They didnt look like Chinese Lanterns because they formed a triangle and vanished in the same spot. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Poland Disc

Jelesnia -- My friend and I were walking in the fields and woods in a small town near Zywiec in May of 2004. We took photos with a digital Camera and when looked at them on computer we saw a black object in the sky. We thought that it could be a Sailplane.

However, we took a photo and turned around and made another photo, and this "thing" is on both photos in the same place. http://s7.directupload.net/file/d/3080/o8b4wk7b_jpg.htm Thanks to MUFON CMS

Portugal Light

Porto My friend and I were driving on the freeway at 11:30 PM, on August 11, 2012, to go to the port, and stopped at the first roundabout after the lighthouse to smoke! We saw a flying object for 30 seconds, but we did not think it was a plane. Then something went wrong and I managed to fall asleep for several hours. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com. Unsure of Portuguese translation?

South Africa Lights

Pretoria -- We saw two shooting stars, but realized they were travelling parallel to each other on November 4, 2012 at 7:30 PM, not coming down towards earth. They were moving at extreme speed and started crossing back and forth each other's paths. They looked like dull stars moving across the sky and were definitely not any manmade object.

I grew up next to an air force base and their speed was as fast as a shooting star, and they were changing direction in a flash and zigzagging. There was a definite pattern to their maneuvers and they were gone in five seconds. We are both intelligent people that are100% sure that it was no meteorite. These were made by someone clearly able to maneuver in a very exact manner, only so fast it seemed incredible.

UK/England Sphere

Leighton Buzzard -- Whilst smoking in my back garden at 10:10 pm, looking into the sky I noticed a bright orange light approaching from the SW. I observed two fast moving orange spheres within five minutes near Bedfordshire on November 1, 2012. The constant orange glow and the absence flashing of wing lights triggered my curiosity as it flew silently across the sky in ten seconds.

It flew in a straight line with identical brightness in the front and rear and these were not aircraft landing lights. Having witnessed two separate similar events two years ago, the hair on my neck started to tingle. Within a minute, I noticed an identical orange ball approaching from exactly the same point in the sky. It seemed to be flying on the same track at the same speed. This time l reached for a pair of binoculars. (8x30 Carl Zeiss). The binoculars gave me a very clear view of a perfect sphere emitting a constant bright orange glow. There also appeared to be a very slight ultra violet iridescence glow. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Filers Files are now being emailed to 12,800 addresses each week plus 500 copies are forwarded to more thousands. Consider forwarding them to your friends and neighbors.  

In special reports, this weeks files cover: Happy Thanksgiving, Soviet Union Had Many UFO Encounters, Phenomenon of Orange and Red "fireballs" Increase,Sun Is Erupting and Earthquakes Likely, the Earth's Anomalous Light forms, Space Fence, and NASA Fast Movers.

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Montana, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Utah, and Washington.

Sightings of UFOs were also reported in: Algeria, Australia, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, 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 and Prince Phillip told me of his personal interest in UFOs. The US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFOs are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Special Reports

Happy Thanksgiving (weekend)

Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada. Thanksgiving was a holiday to express thankfulness, gratitude, and appreciation to God, family and friends. Traditionally, it has been a time to give thanks for a bountiful harvest and thanks to the Holy One.

A Native American Indian Squanto, who spoke English, is credited with teaching the settlers how to survive in Plymouth Plantation, in Massachusetts a new colony after they nearly starved to death in 1621. There is strong evidence for earlier celebrations in Canada (1578) and by Spanish explorers in Florida (1565).

Soviet Union Had Many UFO Encounters

Voronezh -- The Soviet daily, Tass on Monday October 10, 1989 detailed an account of an alleged landing of a UFO in a park in the Soviet city of Voronezh. Unusual looking humanoids exited the craft and apparently interacted with several local children which were apparently the main witnesses of the event. Later research by Russian researchers Genrih Silanov, Fyedor Kiselyov, Yuriy Lozotsev and Alexander Mosolov proved that there had been dozens of other close encounters and incidents in an around Voronezh starting in August through January 1990, the results were published in a book called "UFOs in Voronezh."

Before these events both leaders, President Reagan, and Premier Gorbachev spoke about the possibility of an alien invasion of earth and pointed out that if that happened all the nations of the earth would unite and do away with their petty political and geographical differences. Already in the spring of 1989 Hungary had begun to dismantle its fortified border with Austria, a clear signal that the division of postwar Europe was coming to an end. And before the astounded eyes of the world by the end of the year, on December 22, 1989 the Brandenburg Gate in East Berlin is opened.

After the unprecedented wave of close encounters with humanoids and UFOs during the decade of the 70s, 1980 signaled a clear slowdown of reports or encounters. They had not completely gone away but there were fewer reports of UFOs and their occupants. This trend appeared to last until the end of 1988 and the beginning of 1989 when reports of humanoid encounters exploded in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. In my files alone I have over 500 high strangeness and humanoid encounters for 1989, more than half from the former Soviet Union, and for 1990 I have over 600 reports, again more than half from the former Soviet Union. As the wall crumbled interest in UFOs and aliens appeared to increase on a daily basis with many accounts of bizarre encounters being published by local government controlled newspapers. The wave of encounters, of all types, began in the former Soviet Union at the end of 1988 and lasted well into late 1997.  NOTE: The above craft image is a rendering.

Phenomenon of Orange and Red "fireballs" Increase

For almost two years, Peter Davenport the Director of the National UFO Reporting Center has attempted to call to the attention of the public the fact that frequent sightings of clusters of red, orange, and yellow "fireballs" are occurring, for which there appears to be no adequate explanation. The objects clearly are not aircraft, meteors, satellites, weather balloons, swamp gasall objects that frequently are cited by UFO skeptics in attempt to explain the UFO phenomenon in pedestrian terms.

On the evening of Saturday, November 10^th, 2012, NUFORC began to receive a "pulse" of reports of sightings all over the US of these peculiar "fireballs," and that trend appears to continue.

The reports come from all over the US like the one below.

Castle Rock A current airline pilot (ATP pilots license), encountered three of the orange objects on a remote stretch of highway in Washington State. The witness reported to us via telephone that the objects appeared so low that he thought they were going to land on the highway in front of his vehicle. Also see California report below.

Sun Is Erupting and Earthquakes Likely

Two huge 'arms' of hot plasma erupted from the surface of the sun - searingly hot streaks of plasma many times the size of Earth.

The eruptions were captured on video on November 16 between 1am and 5am EST. by the orbiting Solar Dynamics Observatory. NASA scientists say that the blasts are not 'Earth-directed' - they point away from us into space.
When such 'prominences' erupt towards Earth, they can disrupt radio communications, GPS signals electrical power and may even contribute to Earthquakes.

The red-glowing looped material is plasma, a hot gas made of electrically charged hydrogen and helium. The prominence plasma flows along a tangled and twisted structure of magnetic fields on the surface of the sun. An erupting prominence occurs when such a structure becomes unstable and bursts outward, releasing the plasma.

Strong Solar Activity Can Trigger Large Earthquakes

Stephen A. Reynolds writes, "Analysis of data from GOES and HAARP magnetometers suggests that a positive statistical correlation exists between strong solar activity and the triggering of high-magnitude earthquakes."

Strong solar activity creates a ring current around the Earth, caused by the particles trapped in the magnetic field. Ring current is known to interfere with the Earths ground level magnetic field. If the ring current is strong enough, it will cause swift and large variations/movements in the Earths magnetic field. The majority of 7.0 plus magnitude earthquakes (41.8%) occurred on the same day as magnetic variation of 50 nT followed the day after by (24.8%).

Any conducting material within this movement will therefore have the potential to gain an increase in voltage, called geomagnetic-induced current. Power outages can then occur to transformers and other equipment. On a large scale, a fault line in the Earth is a potentially large conductor containing water and conducting compounds such as metals and quartz within the rocks. Any fluctuation of reasonable size can be enough to increase ground currents and induce energy into a fault line.

The data proves electrical currents and geomagnetic currents exist within the Earth. In addition

lightning a massive electrostatic discharge caused by unbalanced electric charge in the atmosphere, either inside clouds, cloud to cloud or cloud to ground.

There is a strong indication that alien UFOs have the capability to use these strong electrical and magnetic currents. A typical cloud to ground lightning strike can be over 3 miles (5 km) long. A typical thunderstorm may have three or more strikes per minute at its peak. Lightning is usually produced by cumulonimbus clouds up to 10 miles (15 km high) high. Lightning is caused by the circulation of warm moisture-filled air through fields. When the local electric field exceeds the dielectric strength of damp air (about 3 million Volts/m), electrical discharge results, often followed by more discharges along the same path. Cloud-to-ground is the best known and it poses the greatest threat to life and property since it strikes the ground. 

Cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning is a lightning discharge between a cloud and the ground. It is initiated by a leader stroke moving down from the cloud. When a stepped leader approaches the ground, the presence of opposite charges on the ground enhances the strength of the electric. The electric field is strongest on ground-connected objects whose tops are closest to the base of the thundercloud, such as trees and tall structures. If the electric field is strong enough, a conductive discharge (called a positive streamer) can develop from these points.

The Earth's Anomalous Light forms

This web site has a collection of articles regarding anomalous luminous phenomena that can be mistaken for UFOs.

Earth Lights — balls of light that appear to issue directly from the earth, and often appear repeatedly in specific locations. The term was coined by Paul Devereux in 1982; but prior to that they had been known as spooklights.

Spooklights in America

Anson Lights, in Texas

Bingham Light, in South Carolina

Brown Mountain Lights, in North Carolina See article below.

Saratoga Light, in Texas

The Hornet Spooklight - as seen in the Tri-State area.

Will-o'-the-Wisps — lambent flames that flicker over marsh and fen. Though often explained as marsh gas ignited by phosphene, there is evidence to question this, and the associated folklore is interesting.

Earthquake Lights —startling light forms associated with earthquakes, acknowledged by science since a series of famous photographs taken of the Matsushiro earthquake between 1965 and 1967.

St. Elmo's Fire - a discharge phenomenon associated with masts and spires

Foxfire - luminescent fungi that light travelers' ways in the forest.

Space Fence

Space Fence Bids In: Lockheed Martin and Raytheon submitted their respective proposals to win the rights to build the Air Force's Space Fence, announced both companies. The Air Force envisions the fence as an S-band radar system capable of monitor objects in low Earth orbit, even items just the size of a softball. "With decades of experience developing powerful S-band radar systems, Lockheed Martin has proposed a scalable and affordable Space Fence solution for the Air Force that will transform space situational awareness," said Steve Bruce, the company's vice president for space surveillance systems.

Meanwhile, David Gulla, Raytheon's vice president for global integrated sensors, stated in a Nov. 14 release: "Raytheon's decades of expertise building large-scale radars in remote locations, our investment in key technologies, and the proven success of our working Space Fence prototype enable us to offer the US Air Force a low-risk solution at an affordable price." The winner is expected to commence construction of the first Space Fence site—on Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands—around September 2013 to enable operations to commence in 2017, Air Force officials have said. A second site—in Australia—is under consideration. The Space Fence could track fast movers in our skies. Thanks to AFA

Montana Craft at Air Force Global Strike Command

MALMSTROM AIR FORCE BASE -- Unidentified Flying Objects continue to be reported over the 341st Missile Wing of the Air Force Global Strike Command at Great Falls on September 21, 2012. Two separate reports were filed with NUFORC. At 6:30 PM, a witness from nearby Moccasin reports watching a "yellow-orange, elongated bar shape converted to three individual dots." The witness stated, "It appeared as a bright light, yellow-orange, elongated bar shape that changed to three individual lights." The event lasted 20 seconds and then disappeared.

At 8 PM, a witness from Valentine states, "There was an orange light similar to a fireball, and then another appeared next to it, then a third, and a fourth," the witness stated. "Once the fourth appeared, the first disappeared, followed by the second, and the third. Then the third reappeared, followed by the second and first. Then one at a time the lights went away." The diameter of the objects was one-third the diameter of a full moon,"

Incidents of UFOs at Malmstrom Air Force Base have been chronicled by Researcher Robert Hastings who reported on the March 16, 1967, I was heading toward Artesia that was low and looked like a flying fire place yet it moved like it was under intelligence where ten Minuteman-I nuclear missiles malfunctioned soon after a "large, round object" was reported hovering directly over the base. Hastings said, "These events were reported by now retired USAF Col. Walter Figel, one of the two launch officers on duty at the time." Other base witnesses have come forward, according to Hastings, reporting that UFOs were observed over the base on several occasions prior to and following that incident. NOTE: The above image is a rendering.

NOTE: Ken Pfeifer says I spoke to John Hastings about his research into UFO sightings over nuclear bases. My son was stationed at F. E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyoming for six years. He was part of the Security Forces and guarded the nuclear sites within a three state area. My son did experience some strange things at F. E. Warren Air Force Base but could not reveal any events due to military non-disclosure.

NASA Fast Movers

NASA footage of extremely Fast Objects

DailyUfo

Leaked video of NASA where it is possible to see objects entering and leaving the earth's atmosphere. Some incidents are in doubt, since they behave like meteors, but some pictures of shiny objects flying out of the atmosphere had totally surprised the scientists

 DEEL 2
Sightings in the United States

Arizona Boomerang

CASA GRANDE On November 18, 2012, at 9 PM, I was in my front yard looking on a clear night and the stars were so bright when I saw a very large boomerang shape block out the stars. It made no sound and was black against the sky and it seems to slightly reflect light towards the tips of the boomerang shape. It passed over low about the speed of a plane heading southeast. I watched it till it was out if my sight. I drew this picture of it and contacted my aero space engineer brother who thought I should report my sighting. It was so large and made NO sound. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Arkansas Lights

WASILLA -- I was taking my kids to a haunted house when I saw two bright orange oval shaped objects coming through the trees and going straight up on October 27, 2012. My first reaction was to scream and point. I knew it wasnt a plane because planes dont go straight up. I took a picture and tried to get a video. I watched it till I could no longer see it and was scared out of my mind. I know this was a UFO sighting. Thanks to MUFON CMS

California Several Orange Spheres

Davis -- My dog was kind of acting up on October 2, 2012, and seemed anxious and seemed to want me to take her out. When I went outside I remember hearing a loud sound, of what seemed like horns at 2 AM, and thinking, why isnt anyone else waking to this sound? The same thing happened a couple days before. I looked overhead and saw a triangle of lights, with what appeared to be randomly moving lights running between each of the triangle points. It was very large and was darker within the confines of the lights on the corners. It flew south away from me, as I filmed 31 seconds of video before my battery died. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

BELLFLOWER -- I was walking on South Street going north and looked up and saw a bright orange sphere on October 11, 2012, followed by three more flying in a triangle shape. The one at the bottom seemed to go a bit faster than the other two and was going up and down almost out of formation. Then I saw four flying in a triangle shape with the fourth one in the middle again. They speeded up and slowed flying up and down out of formation.

I saw one flying solo after a couple seemed to disappear and reappear. I tried to take a video but my phone was dead. One seemed lower and looked like a fire. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www. UFOcenter.com

SAN BERNARDINO I was in my backyard stargazing the moon on October 29, 2012, and I noticed two objects slowly approaching the top edge of the moon. I could see two white objects one larger than the other that were moving slowly so I took out my galaxy phone and took a picture. A week later I transferred the picture to my computer and enhanced it and to my amazement you can see a saucer shaped object to the upper left of the moon. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Delaware Triangle

Lewes -- On November 1, 2012, we observed dim horizontal lights in an isosceles triangle flying west from the Atlantic Ocean. It flew between the moon and Earth with three or four horizontal rows of lights. Each row was 1.5 to two times the width of a normal aircraft. It could have been illuminated by moon. I caught a moving object while gazing up and took a second for my sight to lock in on it. I was then able to track it for about four seconds. I would assume it was a low-flying object due its speed at which it traversed my line of sight. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Florida Lights

OCEAN I was standing on my 15th floor balcony and saw an object hovering with bright flashing/pulsating lights on horizon over ocean on November 13, 2012. At first I thought it was a pretty large star and grabbed my DSLR with a 300mm lens. Thats when I was able to clearly see the multi-colored flashing lights and the object which was hovering. The lights were multicolored and were not flashing in any particular sequence. I took 35 photos most were different colored light blurs.

ORLANDO -- Walking my dog I saw a jet land and something moving in the sky on November 13, 2012. I thought it strange that it was orange and had no blinking lights like a plane. When I saw them come into the atmosphere, I thought they moved together like bubbles but in a line.
I stood there dumbfounded until I thought to go get my camera, then while trying to get pictures, my heart was pounding and I forgot all about how to ISO my camera!! After, when I calmed down, I thought how beautiful the orbs were! 

I followed them as they headed west. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Illinois Multi-Colored Objects

Chillicothe -- Over the past few weeks I have noticed these flashing, multi-colored objects in the sky over Peoria County. On November 17, 2012, I saw dozens just circling the train bridge over the river around town, then coming back to the island, then back to the train bridge.

They move at a leisurely pace, but change direction and circle a small area. Some hover and are very easy to spot, the colors flash quickly but you can see red, green, purple, white, yellow, orange, pink, blue, all changing lightning fast. Two hover near my driveway around 10 pm every night for the past four nights.

They sometimes disappear after a few hours but one stayed until 6 am. There is one in the video and its colors change quickly and it appears to be burning. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Indiana Orbs

Peru On November 15, 2012, I was walking through the backyard with my husband, Jess who yelled "Wait! Look!" and pointed up and to the north." Bright stars were hanging in the clear night sky - which was. 

Two dark glowing golden orange balls hovered in the sky. After almost 15 seconds of observation, the bottom one disappeared, then the top one seconds after. We did not know what they were.

The objects no longer glowed and disappeared. My husband had mentioned flares, but there were no jets in sight at the time and the skies were clear. He even admitted "Those things did not look like flares." A large jet flew over us and headed north to where we saw the orbs. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Michigan Dome Shaped Object

Flushing On November 19, 2012, I was outside on my deck when I noticed allot of jets streaking across the sky leaving trails. I noticed that to the left of the sun, there appeared to be a "rainbow-type" spot in the sky and to the left of that appeared to be a shrouded, dome-shaped object that the jets were flying toward. I grabbed my camera, and snapped this picture of the jets approaching the object. I know the small blue dots are "flare" from the sunlight, but the orb is NOT.

New Hampshire Light

Antrim -- I was walking my dog on the night of November 16, 2012, with my binoculars, that I always take with me, and was hoping to catch a glimpse of the scheduled meteor shower and took video.

For some reason the video part refused to work so I took consecutive pictures and got it changing color and powering up as shown. I had just charged the battery to my camera just two days before but, the cameras battery died. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Jersey Triangle

Colonia On November 14, 2012, I noticed a stationary light in the southern sky. I took several pictures with my phone camera that looked like a spot until I enlarged the picture.

It had the shape of a triangle with lights on the two opposing edges. I will enclose one picture and have four other photos if needed. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New York Pyramid

SCOTIA -- I was sitting in my car with my husband in a nice secluded place near the Mohawk River on October 1, 2012. As we sat in my car in a large field, I pointed out this strange bright light in the sky. Of course my husband didnt believe me, but stopped talking when the light began to move away from the clouds and it got extremely bright.

We both looked through our binoculars and saw a bright white light that hovered and then changed directions. It was shaped like a triangle, or a pyramid. Behind the craft there was almost like a sail on it. It had a rainbow of colors with its white main light "searching" around. I knew it was a UFO. He started shining his LED red laser pointer at the object. We caught our breath, and regrouped.

My husband shined the light on it again in a rapid side to side motion and started saying "maybe we can get it to move closer." The craft flew ten times closer. As he continued to flash the laser light the object came closer and lower and I got frightened. We sprinted towards our car that was parked on the other side of the field and jumped in. We caught our breath, and reassured each other we had seen a UFO. We were about to leave when the object moved out of the dark cloud again that it was "hiding" behind and disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS

North Carolina 'Brown Mountain Lights'

Brown Mountain -- No one knows the answer to the Brown Mountains mystery, including C.W. Smith, who has probably spent as much time around the fabled North Carolina Mountain as anyone alive. Smith, 67, spent 33 years with the U.S. Forest Service, patrolling the Pisgah National Forest as a federal law enforcement agent beginning in 1966. He is familiar with the so-called Brown Mountain l and while working one night, he saw a bonfire on the mountain, where there were no trails.

"It started going up the mountain to the ridge line, too fast for someone to be using mountain-climbing equipment and disappeared." With that, Smith became a believer. "If you ever see them, youll never forget it because youve never seen anything like it before."

Brown Mountain, a rugged lump in the wrinkles of the Blue Ridge has attracted attention since antiquity because of the lights. Folklore holds that Cherokee Indians thought they were torches held by ghosts of grieving maidens. A 1916 study concluded the glow was the result of "sulfurated hydrogen vapors" better known as swamp gas. In 1922, another geologist spent a week in the mountains and declared the lights were auto headlights and optical illusions.

Dan Caton, a physics and astronomy professor at Appalachian State believes most sightings are bogus people are seeing campfires, headlights, or aircraft. He favors a theory that the lights are ball lighting, a little-understood but long-observed phenomenon. Some people describe fireworks about as big as a beach ball floating up the mountainside. Caton and a team from the university are setting up a camera pointed toward Brown Mountain that will feed to the website brownmountainlights.org.

One of the best pictures taken of the lights was taken by Charles Braswell Jr., a professional photographer in 2001, who shot a video of lights rising above the North Ridge Mountain, the light flared and ebbed, crept to left, paused and drifted to the right, a streak painting its path three miles long. Braswell thought it was mountain bikes or off-road vehicles.

Les Burril a career Forest Service officer had a close encounter, "Something just illuminated a few feet away that looked like a candle that brightened for a few seconds and just sat there. Another one lit up a little farther away." I always looked at it as some kind of physical phenomenon. Burril, 56, retired and living in Georgia, said, "He has no idea what they are."

Pennsylvania Three Balls
SHELOCTA -- I was driving west on Interstate 422 when I witnessed a two glowing balls moving in the same direction as me about 4:50 PM, on November 16, 2012. These two balls converged and were joined by a third.

They stayed in a triangular formation and hovered a few miles in front of me for six to ten minutes over a nuclear power plant. I got some pictures but nothing showed on the video. While the objects were hovering flame came out of the bottoms. They resembled jellyfish. After ten minutes, they faded from site.

Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org

WILLOW GROVE On November 16, 2012, I drove over the PA Turnpike on Davisville Road, around 5:30 PM, and noticed three unusual lights. Two more sets of these lights were flying southwest right behind it. There were no blinking lights and these lights were flying close together. I shot several images with my cell phone.

Others saw strange lights near my sighting. Luckily someone else got a picture that looked exactly like what I saw earlier in the day right before dark. There were 8 UFO sightings in 5 states in 11 hours." Thanks to MUFON CMS

Rhode Island Lights

Providence -- Driving west on 95, I spotted a few lights moving very slowly on November 15, 2012. They flew closer and directly over my car. As I pass underneath I look up and see that there are two sets of lights. There were three bright white lights with two blue lights offsetting the white ones.

Ive never seen any light formations like this that move so slowly and silently. Thanks to MUFON CMS

South Carolina Interesting UFO Photo

GILBERT -- This evening before dark I went to an open field to photograph a UFO on October 31, 2012, I have seen several during the last week. The object appeared again with lights pulsating in different colors. It moved in all directions and would hover low in the sky.

I also witnessed a bright white star like object and a lot higher that moved from side to side and up and down. When I returned home the object was very close to my home and low. Its shape looked like a boomerang and it had bright white separated lights. It would move down at an angle and then move straight across then stop.

While watching this object, another one appeared moving the same with reddish and white light pulsating and flashing. They are somewhat distant from each other. When planes fly by the object, it does not move. A fourth object has appeared and is flashing different colors and moving all directions and hovering. It is to the right in the sky to the third object. It moves at a fast pace then stops. The last two objects appeared in the last two hours. Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org

Utah Trucker Report

CEDAR Hills I was driving at mile marker #80 on Route 15 when I spotted a triangle shaped object at 7:30 AM, on October 30, 2012. I took photos of the black triangle that a groove in the belly center of the craft. There were no lights on the craft that flew silently. Thanks to Lance Brown

Washington Disc

SEATTLE -- My 8 year old granddaughter was taking pictures as the family traveled down Interstate 5 southbound and snapped a shot of the sky on April 21, 2012. No one saw anything when she took the photo. Later we saw the object in the picture. I called the camera manufacturer and they said they do not have any software that would do that and it was definitely a photograph of something.

VANCOUVER On November 7, 2012, on 6:30 PM, I shared it with some close friends and then sat on it for a while because most of the people I showed it to thought it were a fake photo. So I just decided not to share it with anyone else. Then I saw a story on TV in Denver about UFOs flying so fast that they could not be seen with the eye but were showing up when slowed down on tape. 

We would just like to know what it is so Im submitting the original photo from the camera. I noticed a pinkish hue around the object after blowing it up. The object was floating just over the freeway wall over a quiet neighborhood. 

The lights moved from western sky to the north and stayed the same distance apart. Then they disappeared one at a time. I sent it to my local news but received no response at all. I know we are not alone.

Note: The winds in the lower 10,000 feet of the atmosphere were from the northwest to the west. Therefore these objects WERE NOT drifting with the wind. There were a few clouds at 5,000 feet and scattered clouds at 8,000 feet. Visibility was 10 miles. Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Worldwide UFO Sightings

Algeria Sphere

Setif -- My friend and I woke up at 5:00 AM, and I was drinking water and looked up to see a very bright star that shined abnormally on October 3, 2012. One very bright and a big sphere was standing alone when another big sphere approached it and mixed in it. There was another one suspended underneath it. I took a couple photos with my Samsung and my friend saw another abnormal bright star -around 10 degrees west from first star that moved slowly toward the first star, but in seconds. It was at high altitude flying as fast as a jet and reached the first star. The two stars combined into one. We left them both in the same position and went back to sleep.

Australia Activity

Central QUEENSLAND -- Mary Rodwell writes, "I get many strange anomalous lights in Agnes Water. I believe it is a hotspot for UFO activity and there are many locals having encounters." This latest picture is one of the strangest taken last night on November 18, 2012, during a electrical storm due south from my location. I have heard that craft use electrical storms to recharge. I also get perfectly symmetrical, solid looking red and green orbs in most evening photos. Thanks to Mary Rodwell ACERN

Canada Star Light

FENWICK, NS I saw an object moving northwest, the exact same size of a star, and then noticed that several other star sized lights were moving in the same direction, There was too many to count there was over 40 on October 3, 2012, at 3:00 PM.

After I noticed the number of moving lights I realized they were not planes nor shooting stars. While lifting my hand to the sky they were at 70 degrees moving northwest

moving in clusters with about 7 to 10 per cluster. Some were travelling alone, but all of them for sure were travelling northwest. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Japan Light

Kobe -- At 11:40 PM, on October 21, 2012, I was watching the sky and saw a very fast silver bright object going east direction and west down to the mountains. I thought of an asteroid, due to the trajectory in a speed about the speed of a falling star without any "tail."

Mexico Has Turned into a Hotbed for UFO Activity in October

Tijuana -- An orb, described by the YouTube video poster as 'not higher than an airplane hovered and flew across the skies on October 17, 2012, and captured by video at around 7:00 pm.

These round bright light objects have been seen throughout Mexico numerous times in the last few weeks, causing an Internet buzz on a Mexican UFO wave.

Recent sightings in include a UFO over Unam, Mexico City (Oct. 7), another one over the Mexican capitol (Oct. 10), and a beautiful one over a volcano. In the past, Mexican government officials have commented on UFO videos.

Russia UFO Buzzes Plane

It seems that anything that flies is a potential attention getter for any UFO. In this April 2012, video we see a Russian Antonov AN-225 plane, the world's biggest transport plane with a cargo capacity that can haul three or four military tanks. This is a possible alien drone. http://wwwmacsufonews.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/ufo-hovers-over-ancient-ruins-of-machu.html

Wetenschappers denken een historische ontdekking op de planeet Mars te hebben gedaan. De verkenner Curiosity heeft onlangs de bodem omgewoeld en "die gegevens gaan de geschiedenisboeken in. Het ziet er erg goed uit'', zegt hoofdonderzoeker John Grotzinger.

Grotzinger mag nog niet zeggen wat de ontdekking is. Over enkele weken hoopt hij meer bekend te kunnen maken.

De Curiosity is naar Mars gestuurd om uit te zoeken of er ooit leven mogelijk was op Mars. In augustus landde het karretje. Op de rode planeet gaat het zeker 2 jaar lang de bodem, de rotsen en de lucht meten. Ook maakt de Curiosity foto's. In september vond de verkenner sporen van een oud beekje.

Two New Reports on the Chilean Videos Produce Conflicting Results

Two new studies on the controversial video tapes from the El Bosque case in Chile have just been released. Richard Haines, chief scientist for the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena (NARCAP) and Bruce Maccabee, retired Navy physicist, performed independent, meticulous analyses of the tapes.

For necessary background on this case, please see my previous articles: March 2012 with Ralph Blumenthal, and April 2012. I will not be repeating information here from these two posts but will assume everyone has read them.

Last June, I went to Santiago partly to seek further resolution on this case. General Ricardo Bermúdez, Director of the CEFAA, told me that the objects did not appear to be bugs, "but we can't be 100 percent sure; it's still under investigation." During my second visit to the CEFAA office in September, the general informed me that the case is now being put to rest, but it remains unsolved.

In June, the Director General of Chile's DGAC invited me to make a presentation at a closed meeting for military brass, foreign attachés and scientists. (Photo Courtesy of DGAC)

Haines and Maccabee worked with the two best videos for their studies. I learned during my first meeting with CEFAA staff that due to circumstances beyond their control, the other five videos are no longer in the CEFAA's possession. Therefore I was not able to view them nor can they be made available to others, as the CEFAA would have preferred. However, the two tapes which have been analyzed are by far the clearest tapes; the others were on cell phones and of poor quality.

It is both intriguing and puzzling that the two scientists disagreed about the most crucial question in this case: Did the same unidentified aerial phenomenon, or UAP, appear on two separate cameras? If the exact same UAP was filmed by the two cameras 20 to 30 feet apart simultaneously, then we would know the object was large, distant and not a bug. Haines concluded that the two cameras captured the same UAP in one sequence, while Maccabee concluded they did not.

"This investigation was carried out with the hope that at least two videos would provide image data that would allow for a triangulation and subsequent calculation of distance and size," Maccabee states in "Analysis of 'UAP' Images in two Videos Obtained During the El Bosque Air Show of November 5, 2010." Triangulation requires that the same object be filmed at the same time by observers at separate locations; without this, the distance to the object cannot be estimated and therefore its actual size cannot be determined. "Unfortunately, the two most promising videos did not show the same object at the same time from two locations," Maccabee concludes.

He analyzed only the UAP images that appeared during the Halcones fly by, the first planes to take off during the event at the Air Force base. These included footage of the approach of the Halcones, and their departure into the distance, which is where Haines discovered a "temporal coincidence" (the same UAP in two videos at the same time) and Maccabee determined that the images were different. "My analysis does not preclude the possibility that there might have been a temporal coincidence at some other time but I am unaware of such a coincidence," he says.

Maccabee's sometimes technical report includes section headings such as "Relative sizes and distances of the UFO if there were no motion blur," "Apparent motion of the object," and "Estimate of the distance traveled during the time between frames." His analysis of frames from one section includes calculations of possible distance-size-speed relationships "ranging from insect size and speed to "saucer" size and (great) speed."

He points out that some of the dark on the bottom of the two best images of the object may be due to the camera's electronics reacting to the presence of a bright top portion. "Video cameras often create a dark 'reaction' to a very bright, small object in the field of view," he explained in an email.

Maccabee concludes that the objects are not anomalies. "Without further information that would show the objects were distant and hence large, it must be considered most likely that the objects were small and nearby such as insects." In a recent email he explained that "Since I could not accomplish a triangulation of any of the objects I analyzed, I have to accept the scientifically conservative conclusion that the objects I studied could have been small and nearby."

Haines takes a different position, as shown in his 108 page report titled "The El Bosque Video Case: A Preliminary Study of Anomalous Objects in Active Airspace." His analyses consisted of plotting the trajectories of as many different UAP as he could find as well as enlarging and enhancing the UAP images from selected frames. "That at least one of these UAP was not a flying insect near the cameras is supported by analysis of video images of the same UAP recorded by two separated cameras," he writes.

And further, he explains that "the relatively short 'flight' durations, high angular velocities and high-speed changes in direction and small angular size of the UAP, recorded during seven of the ten airplane formation fly-overs, help explain why no one saw them at the time; these characteristics would appear to qualify these UAP as anomalous; they cannot be explained in prosaic terms."

Haines states that "NARCAP's interest in this case lay mainly in aviation safety" and it is for this reason that he conducted the study. He suggests that these UAP could have presented a risk to flight operations, but acknowledges that without knowing for sure whether they possessed finite mass it is not possible to say.

Many provocative questions are posed at the end of his paper: Why were there more UAP appearances associated with the fly-overs of certain types of airplanes than others? What are their energistic characteristics? What mechanism(s) guided their movements? What caused their changes in shape within very short periods of time?

The contradictory element of these two new studies, and the questions they raise about the nature of the UAP depicted in the videos, adds to the increasing complexity of this case. This material has proven itself worthy of scientific scrutiny, initially in Chile and now in the United States, and as been given a great deal of attention. And how encouraging it is to see high-ranking military officers, scientists and aeronautic specialists in Chile recognizing the existence of the "UFO phenomenon" and taking it seriously! I have observed this firsthand and talked to many of these officials in person.

It is in the well-established tradition of science that research results differ sometimes, and debate follows. The issues usually get ironed out over time - although with this case, that may not happen.

The controversy surrounding this case has centered around whether the object(s) could simply be bugs. It seems that if they are not some kind of anomaly, or "UFO," they are likely bugs. There are not many other realistic alternatives.

Maccabee has deduced that these objects most likely are bugs. "Lacking conclusive proof that a flying insect could not make an image such as recorded on the video, one may conclude that the 'anomalous phenomena' images were, in fact, images of insects," he writes. Others have put forward the same position on various internet blogs.

As I mentioned in my previous article, entomologists in the U.S. with knowledge of Chilean insects stated fairly uniformly that it is impossible to determine whether the objects were bugs; there was nothing in particular that would lead them to conclude that they were. Most thought it was unlikely. While in Chile, I talked to two independent scientists who believed the object(s) may be insects, but who also said we can't know for sure. And of course, none of them were photo experts.

I was curious: If indeed this were a bug, which species would it most likely be? Perhaps by observing the candidate in flight, we could see if it resembled the objects in question, particularly the two still images that show a consistent shape in two different parts of one video. This would not be a "scientific" process...but it could be interesting.

Last month, the CEFAA contacted Mario Elgueta, a leading Chilean entomologist with over 30 years of experience and Chief of the Entomology Department of the National Museum of Natural History in Santiago. When first looking at the images, Elgueta said "there is no noticeable detail in them to make me think on an insect right away" and that the images were too distorted for him to be of help.

With the assistance of the CEFAA, I followed up and asked him: If this were a bug, which species would it most likely be? After consulting with his colleague Fresia Rojas, Elgueta said that "by the rounded shape and convex back" the images suggest a species of Coleoptera from the Coccinellidae family. "Several of these species are frequent in spring [when the videos were taken] appearing even in very populated areas.," he replied. This family consists of the small dome-shaped beetles we call "ladybugs."

In his paper, Maccabee calculated various speeds of a potential bug in relationship to its distance from the camera. A ladybug is approximately a quarter of an inch, or smaller. "A quarter-inch sized insect could have been about two feet from the camera and traveling at about 12 mph," he told me in a recent email.

When a ladybug flies, its tiny wings flap, while it separates it's otherwise convex shell into stationary wing sheathes and raises them up like two umbrellas that never come down. Thus, it's clear that the domed shape of this insect at rest is not sustained when in fight. In fact, it looks entirely different because of the way its shell is split and suspended up above.

When a ladybug flies, it no longer has a uniform convex back because its shell is raised above its wings like two small umbrellas. (Photo courtesy of Guillermo González) Here's what ladybugs look like when they fly.

The clearest images of our dome-shaped UAP in the El Bosque videos show no such wing sheathes. Would the sheathes show up in a video of this bug two feet from the camera moving at 12 mph? Perhaps the tiny wings would be moving too quickly to show up...but the sheathes do not move at all. Should they be visible?

Furthermore, if you look at the body of the ladybug in flight, it looks elliptical and rather soft, since it has no shell covering it. It doesn't look much like the dome-shaped bug that we see sitting on a leaf or crawling.

Could this be a quarter-inch ladybug, flying two feet from the camera at 12 mph?

I sent Elgueta the links to some videos of ladybugs in flight, and asked him to comment on the fact that the flying bug does not look like the domed "thing" in our video. First he reiterated that it is impossible to say if they are bugs or not. "We estimate that no experienced entomologist regardless of what country can give a definite answer about these images."

Regarding specifically the videos of the flying ladybugs, he made the astute observation that these videos, "made with short focus in centimeters scale, cannot be compared with others made in a different scale. Perhaps, you can make new technical studies with videos that can be equivalent concerning speed, focus, lighting and distance." Maybe this is the next step if anyone wants to continue this exploration.

Haines makes some interesting observations as to why he believes at least some of the El Bosque objects are not bugs, even beyond his conclusion that the same UAP appears on two cameras 20 to 30 feet apart. He includes an image of an actual insect, dark and blurred, taken from one of the El Bosque videos. I recall quite a few bugs on this footage near the camera that looked like blurred, black blobs.) "Virtually all of the UAP images reviewed in this report were in sharper focus than was this alleged insect suggesting that they were all at a distance greater than the hyperfocal distances of these cameras!" Haines writes.

On the question of whether all the UAP could have been insects, Haines states that "on balance, the answer is very likely no." He offers a host of reasons why: "Because of the linearity of their flight, their high angular velocity, their occasional spontaneous and unexpected appearance within a video frame, their apparent trajectories relative to the different airplane formations, their almost consistent oval shape and nearly horizontal orientation, their lack of any color other than gray and white and perhaps most importantly, for one UAP at least found in Figures 8 and 11, its relatively large distance from the two cameras."

"Nevertheless," he concludes, "this hypothesis must be left unanswered at this time."

And after all this, what is the final position of the CEFAA on this case? I received this official response to that question: "After hearing from the entomologists who have looked at the images, we at the CEFAA agree that these photos do not show anything which allows for the conclusion that they are bugs. But since we are unable to identify the objects in the videos, the case remains unsolved. We are posting on our web page diverse analysis and opinions on this case, to allow each interested person to draw his/her own conclusions."

Along with the two new American reports, the CEFAA web page includes four Spanish studies which also provide conflicting results. Marcelo Moya, a Chilean photo analyst, affirms that "the object that caused a commotion because of its brightness would with a high probability correspond to the flight of an insect, the hypothesis being it is a fly or a botfly (the latter being a bigger size) that passed by the focus of the camera."

However, Carlos González Sasso, a photo expert from the DGAC Air and Space Museum in Santiago, states that the image of the same object shows something metallic, "a defined geometry, not being an object of biological origin, with an inclination that suggests ascending forward movement, this being reinforced by a flash of clear light at the base."

I commend the CEFAA for working so hard on this case with experts from many branches of the Chilean government, and for making whatever information they could available to these scientists. It's not clear what these videos show. At this point, each of us can form our own opinions about something that science cannot determine, or we can simply accept that we will likely never know.
