Weymouth, Massachusetts Large UFO Becomes Many
Date: 1985
Time: Twilight.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: One that changed into many.
Shape of objects: Hazy ball, then small round lights.
Weather Conditions: Clear.
Description: My first memory is sitting on my couch and looking to my left through the dining room window out to the back of the house. I remember thinking to myself, "That's funny. The moon is never over there." Then I went back to watching TV. After what seemed like a minute or two, I went to the back window to have a good look. It was a hazy, white ball just sitting in the sky over my neighbor's house on the next street behind mine, maybe 500ft high (I don't know). I went to the front stairs and called my daughter who was about 10 at the time to come and look. When we got back to the window the ball
was now sitting over another house to the right. As we watched, it suddenly arced through the sky and became a mass of small lights that seemed to be bouncing of an "invisible" outer ball - hard to explain - and vanished behind the tree line. Neither of us has even forgotten that and every now and then we look at each other and say, "What the heck was that?" We didn't report it nor was there anything in the local paper the next day.
My daughter, now 33, says it was quite dark outside, not twilight as I recall when I first noticed the "moon."

Whirlpool State Park Niagara Falls, N.Y. UFO Comes Out Of Devils Hole (Pictures/Graphics)
Date: Late Spring 1990.
Time: Dusk.
Location of Sighting: Whirlpool State Park Niagara Falls.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Circular.
Full Description of event/sighting: Me and my buddy were in the gorge near Devils' Hole getting ready to start heading up, it was almost dark. Three lights spinning slowly in a circle drifted out from over the whirlpool in the gorge. One green, one white, one red. The lights instantly start spinning in a circle at a tremendous rate creating a ring of white light. The light illuminates the sides of the gorge, trees, water. The light from the ring was so bright you could not see the top of the spacecraft, but as it rose slowly up past the top of the gorge I could see a dome-like silhouette against the fading light of the sky.
The spacecraft rose a few hundred feet above the trees, then proceeded to put on a little show. In the blink of an eye it flew away, back, away up, back, over here, over there hundreds of miles at each turn, in perfectly straight lines. It was completely and totally silent. It did this no less than 12 times, probably closer to fifteen, leaving a white streak of a light trail in my mind that I will not forget. It then came back to the same exact location that it started above the top of the trees, then proceeded out of our atmosphere on a gentle arc at a slow (relatively) speed that left a orangish light trail across the sky. The light was not actual but the best my eyes could interpret the speed of the spacecraft jetting out into space.
The whole event lasted about 10-15 seconds. It wasn't a weather balloon, a hoax, an "object", or anything anyone on this planet built in recent history. I looked at my buddy and asked "Did you see that?" He said "Yep" That's all the validation I needed. I didn't even look over at him to see if he had seen it while it was happening, I was fixed on the spacecraft. We never thought to tell anyone for some reason. Maybe alien brain washing, or knowing that not too many people would believe(this was way back in the 90's before ufo's were popular). I saw a show about an Arizona sighting tonight and it made me think of it. I might have seen a helicopter fly by while this was happening, it would be cool if the pilot or passengers saw it too. I checked the papers the next day and there was no mention. Aliens visit planet Earth.

UFO Flys Through The Florida Sky
Date: 1997
Time: Approx: 2:00 a.m.
I am online researching something I saw in the Florida sky in 1997 and found your blog. Someone wrote to you and described something that is similar to what I saw. Do you know what it may have been? I've often wondered if it was a satellite or a meteor. It was a small white light (the size of a small star) traveling from east to southwest at about 2:00 am. I watched it for approx. 30 seconds. It slowed down, began to zig zag, it became illuminated with a blue lightning and disappeared. I was not dreaming, I was very wide awake. I've seen shooting stars and meteor showers and have never seen anything like this. It moved with the speed of an airplane. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Grimsby, Ontario Three Star Like Lights In A Triangle Formation
Date: May 27, 2008
Time: 0008 hrs
Location of Sighting: Grimsby, Ontario,Canada
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 3
Shape of objects: 3 star-like lights in triangle formation.
Full Description of event/sighting: Hello. This is not a spectacular sighting, but just for the record and in consideration of the recent triangle UFO reports in the Niagara region. I've finally decided to report a moving triangle pattern of 3 star-like lights that I observed at 8 minutes after midnight on May 27/08. As I recall (and also I did make some written notes in my day planner), these lights were solid white with slight blue tinge, medium bright (again star-like) and they did not vary in intensity throughout the observation. They were 3 points of light that moved together, from my perspective they formed a triangle pattern in the shape of a classic Pythagorean right angle triangle (with side ratios of approx. 3,4,5). However this perceived shape could also have been caused just from the low viewing angle it appeared at. The long pointed end of the triangle was pointed in the direction of travel which was southeast in direction. I was in my backyard stargazing and I first noticed the motion in the Western sky, approximately over Hamilton and approx. 25 degrees up elevation from the Western horizon in the near vicinity of the constellation Leo.
The pattern tracked very slowly towards the South where I lost it in the horizon haze and just to the right (Western side) of the constellation Scorpios. The sky was clear and calm with some haze on the horizon and not too much light pollution. Total duration of sighting approx. 45 seconds to 1 minute. I observed this also with binoculars and as I tracked with it I noticed the star-field moving through it and behind it. In other words, it appeared as 3 independent lights i.e.. not solid body. Again, the lights were very steady in intensity and were definitely not aircraft lights (absolutely no red/green nav. or red/white strobe lights). There was no sound whatsoever. I have no way of really estimating their distance and altitude but they gave the impression of being quite high up e.g.. satellite territory (100's of miles) but I concede they could have been lower (thousands of feet).
In fact, I would concede that these may actually have been satellites, but I think what bothers me most about this is that, 1) I've never witnessed 3 satellites flying in formation, 2) aren't satellites expensive enough on their own, why task 3 to be in the same region of space at the same time, 3) the absolute precision of formation while in motion that these objects moved in was amazing, it was as if they were attached to a single object or linked in unison somehow.
I've always done some stargazing and astronomy since I was younger so I feel I have some experience looking at nighttime sky objects. I've seen literally hundreds of satellites, some spectacular meteors (of which I even have some photos) and of course many nighttime aircraft. This is the first report I've made like this. I'm not prone to leaps of imagination but tend to be realistic and, in this case, I just saw what I saw. I found your website after making this sighting and have been checking it regularly ever since and in light of recent reports from this region. I've learned some good lessons to which I try to adhere; a) I now always carry a digital camera with me (with extra batteries) wherever I go. b) I know how to use this camera, even in the dark. c) I pay way more attention, day or night, to the skies around me. By the way, I think your website is great and your providing a much needed venue for reporting these anomalies and providing it in a style that is not intimidating. Thank you for your time and patience.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Motueka, New Zealand A Round Ball Shaped Object
Date: November 8, 2008
Time: Approx: 1:30 a.m.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round ball shape.
Weather Conditions: Pretty clear night I think, remember seeing stars out.
Description: My two friends and I were standing at the end of my driveway after coming back from a party at the beach (they had walked me home). We were just talking when I saw a bright red/orange light floating across the sky. I drew the others attention to it and we stood there astonished at what we were seeing. It was moving faster than an ordinary plane and was not a jet plane because it was moving too slow to be a jet plane and was also too low to be a jet plane. It was also too big to be a jet plane. Definitely wasn't a helicopter because I think we would have heard it and wasn't moving fast enough to be a helicopter. It seemed to hover, and was a bright light colored red (maybe orange).

Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio A Spherical Shaped UFO
Date: November 16, 1999
Time: Approx: 7:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: At least 7 known to me personally.
Number of objects: 7
Shape of objects: Spherical.
Weather Conditions: Chilly but clear.
Description: The following incident seems to have transpired in less than five minutes, as I arrived home after work and a brief stop at the grocery store. November 16th, 1999 - shortly after 7:00 p.m.: Pulling into my parking space behind my two-story, four-unit apartment building, I was facing west. Above the tree line, slightly left of my center of vision, approximately 5 to 7 miles away, I watched breathlessly as an object my mind could only interpret as a
burning airplane - perhaps a large meteor - fell, at about a 70 degree angle from upper left (southwest) to lower right (northeast), then disappeared from my vision into the nearby valley. I exited my vehicle, anticipating the sound of an object that large crashing to the ground, but heard nothing. I hoped I was mistaken.
I turned to lock my car door (I was now facing north). From the upper left of my peripheral vision I thought I saw a rocket (think 'very large fireworks') heading east from the top of one of the stores in the plaza at the end of my street. I thought 'who on earth is shooting rockets from the plaza?' I froze. The "flaming rocket" was flying horizontally right down the middle of my street. I had no idea where it might land. As I watched, I suddenly realized there was no
'whoosh', 'sparking' or 'whistle' sound. In fact, there was only silence! With the awareness of silence, I focused on the object which was now just above the power lines as it neared the neighboring apartment building, which blocked my view for several seconds. As the object came back into view, what I saw was not a rocket at all, but 1 large iridescent blue sphere - followed by 6 slightly smaller tangerine-colored spheres, perfectly spaced, and moving very slowly,
directly over the center of the street.
The objects seemed only to span the length of the two apartment buildings. At that point, it was as if time stood still. As the objects passed in front of my
building, I paused for a moment, then ran into my second floor apartment, hoping to catch a closer glimpse of the object from one of two bedrooms at the front of my apartment, which faced the street. I was disappointed when I looked out the window and the whole thing was gone. I remember spending just a few minutes trying to convince myself that I must not have really seen what I believed I had seen, and wishing I had run out to the street to see it, rather than going inside.
The next thing I remember is getting a phone call from my youngest daughter from her grandmother' s house at around 9:00pm. When I told her what I had experienced, she relayed the story as she had seen it from her grandmother' s home at around 7:00. Katie was in the breakfast nook, chatting with her grandma, who was standing at the kitchen sink, looking out over her backyard, facing west. She saw a bright silver white flame coming up the sloped backyard, straight for the strip of property between her home and her neighbor's. She ran toward the front of the house, fully expecting to see an airplane
crashed in her front yard. When she looked out, she saw nothing and chalked it up to her aging vision.
Later, there were reports on the 11:00 pm news (Cleveland, Ohio area) of numerous sightings around the same time. In one of the segments, they interviewed a family with two children: the little girl appeared to be around age 3, her brother about 9 or 10. Each had drawn what they had seen. The older boy had drawn a rocket aimed horizontally across the paper, while the younger child had drawn 1 blue sphere followed by six evenly spaced, smaller orange spheres.
I spoke with a co-worker the next morning, who had been driving with his two small boys when he saw the bright lights in the sky and dismissed them as part of the busy retail holiday displays. Another co-worker overheard and seemed surprised, but anxious to hear more. Her mother had called her the evening before (Nov.16th) to describe what she had seen, and the young woman had doubted her mother's story.
TV/Radio: Several news channels in the Akron-Cleveland area aired segments at 11:00 p.m., Reporting sightings from earlier in the evening.

Pedreguer, Alicante Spain Disc Shaped UFO
Date: November 23, 2008
Time: Approx: 3:00 a.m.
Number of witnesses: Me and my dog
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Disc shaped.
Weather Conditions: Lightly overcast.
Description: My dog had diarrhea, so I took him out about - there were a number of times so I'm guessing it was about 3am. The street lights were still on, anyway. As I was waiting for my dog to do his business, I looked up. The night was fairly crisp and clear but there was some cloud cover high up. Behind the clouds I could see a white, dis-shaped light moving quite quickly from side to side and back and forth. It's changes in direction were too quick for it to be a plane or helicopter, and the light was too big for that too. The position was over a plain, so I was sure it didn't come from below, plus the light was definitely behind clouds, not in front.
TV/Radio: I haven't reported it anywhere but here yet.

Milton Keynes Central, Buckinghamshire, England Lights Make Triangular Shape
Date: November 25, 2008
Time: Approx: 10:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Triangular
Weather Conditions: Clear
Description: I was a passenger in a vehicle moving along the V6 Grafton St from N/W. When we arrived at the Portway/Grafton St roundabout traffic lights, I saw two white lights in the sky toward the East above CMK. They were much brighter than those of a plane. As we passed the roundabout and continued along the V6 past Abbey House, I noted a plane high above these lights. The mystery lights were not moving in relation to this plane above it. I then discovered a third light, this time red in colour, pulsating slowly. The two white lights and one red were in the shape of a perfect triangle.
By this point we were level with the object, it was still in position, and the red light was intermittent, but pulsating. I kept this object in view until we turned onto Childs Way. I then saw the object begin to move off slowly in a N/West direction toward the Bradwell area.
TV/Radio: No reports that I have made nor seen.

Stoney Trail, Calgary, Alberta A Rectangular Shaped UFO
Date: November 30, 2008
Time: 3:30 a.m.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Central light point outlined by four perimeter light point in a (rectangular? ) shape.
Weather Conditions: Calm, no wind, cool, clear.
Description: At approx 3:30am MST an object appeared about NNW from our location roadside. The object at first appeared to be the Calgary Police's Hawc helicopter, but very quickly I - and the two other people in my car - realized this was not HAWCs at all. We also quickly ruled out conventional aircraft due to the objects relative size, speed, and light patterns. The object was high enough that we could just make out 5 lights, a blue in the center and four lights in a rectangle around the object. The last four lights were continuously strobing rapid patterns of red and white.
Even though the lights were small enough to indicate the object was at a high elevation, the span of the lights covered about 1 cm x 0.6cm of my vision, making it significantly larger than any plane I had ever seen. The object was also closing distance toward us visibly fast. What stands out about this speed is that the object was coming head on our direction, but we could still determine that it was moving quickly.
Within about 10 seconds a second, identical, object separated from what had originally appeared to be one object. One of the objects continued its trajectory toward us, and the other object headed (banked?) to the East. Once we saw the lateral motion we were able to reinforce our belief that these objects were moving exceptionally fast. The oncoming object was lost to our vision as it passed over the car - this occurred within about 30-45 seconds. In the time it took to open the door and look for it, the object was a smallish speck hovering far behind our position. In this same time the eastbound object had reached a distance that made it, too, a smallish speck. The east object maintained visible color pattern strobing while it hovered ! in position, occasionally strafing left and right by small amounts.
I attempted to use my camera phone to capture an image or video of the objects, but I could not locate them on my screen. The only video oddity was that a reflection-looking green "sunspot" would appear on my screen when it was facing the object but angle to a mostly level trajectory (pointed roughly at the horizon rather than the object) I believe the surrounding streetlights may have been responsible for this abnormality. While the east object continued strobing softly (though no longer continuously) the object to my south began to dim.
Just as I thought it might disappear from sight altogether it suddenly glowed very bright again. The diameter of the yellow-orange glow was such a distinct increase in size and brightness (to beyond that of any star) that it gave the impression that the object was speeding back in our direction. It quickly faded again, strafing ever so slightly as it did. This dimming and brightening recurred again and again for maybe 30 min - I do not know if it was simply that the object was advancing and backing off or if it was actually pulsing with light - before we finally lost view of both objects completely.
Two final points of interest. We never heard any sound from either object. I do not know whether this was due to there high altitude or some other reason. Also, when they changed direction, the size, shape, relative location, color etc of the lights remained constant. ie: they looked like the points of a face-on rectangle regardless of their direction of travel.

Huntington Beach, California Orange Light
Date: December 2, 2008
Time: 9:15 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Orange light.
Weather Conditions: Overcast 1500 foot- not sure - no stars or moon could be seen through clouds
Description: Orange Orb Light In Huntington Beach California - December 02, 2008 I was driving west on Bolsa Street and noticed an orange light in the sky. It was a color like I've never seen before, kind of like a candle flame. The light was moving east and was south of me. I stopped at the store at Springdale and Bolsa Streets. I watched the light move slowly east for about a minute. (I really wish I took a picture of it now) I went into the store for about five minutes. When I came out the light had moved west and was almost overhead. It was an overcast night so the clouds reflected the orange glow. I'm guessing that the clouds were about 1500 feet up that night. There was a slight wind out of the south, the light did not seem to be affected by the wind as it moved east then west, it stopped and moved slowly, there was no sound. I drove home for about 3 minutes and when I parked my car and got out I could still see the light. It was still moving west and was lower in the sky since I had moved about a mile north of it.

Description: At around 4:00am I went to the bathroom, when I returned I gazed out my window, while trying to fall asleep, I saw a bright orb that was slowing, stopping, and backing up in the sky in a back and forth motion. It wasn't the crescent moon that was aligned with the planets either. I watched it for about an hour, sometimes it would be lost in the clouds, then I'd see it again, flying in the same area. I lost sight of it again. Then I saw what looked like some
kind of bright burst or explosion and then it was gone. I didn't see it again after the explosion.

Renfrew, Renfrewshire UK Objects Approximately 200 Feet Off The Ground
Date: December 5, 2008
Time: 8:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Renfrew
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Looked like stars but, too low.
Full Description of event/sighting: Hello Brian, I was standing opposite the Police Station in Renfrew, waiting for a bus to take me home at about 8pm, when I happened to look to the south and saw what looked like two bright lights close to each other but, in a straight line. Although they looked like stars, they were just too low in the sky. At first I thought they were helicopters but, there was no noise and they emitted a bright, almost off - white light. They didn't move and when the bus came, I kept looking at them. The bus travelled for about a good 4 miles and they stayed in the same place. I lost them after that. The height must have been about 200 feet and as it was a clear, cold night the stars were visible but, these were an awful lot closer to the ground.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Time: 6:00 a.m.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: star-like, couldn't define shape. It looked like a moving star. Wasn't a meteorite moved to slow.
Weather Conditions: Clear and cold, East horizon was just starting to lighten up ever so slightly.
Description: This is isn't the only time I have seen this type of phenomenon, I have witnessed the same type of scenarios twice before. It seems just like plane, with no red or blue lights and moves much faster. All three times I have witnessed this the aircraft moves from one horizon to another in less than 30 seconds. On this particular incident this object was white and star like, and seemed very high in the atmosphere, and moved to slow to be a meteorite, and to quick to
be a plane. It moved from the Southwest sky to the Northeast sky and went from horizon to horizon in less than 30 seconds. This object moved at a constant speed throughout its progression.

Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Orange light
Weather Conditions: Perfectly clear.
Description: I saw the Orange light again. It was straight out from my front porch low in the sky, just above the power lines. It moves slowly, stopping then moving again, to the east. I went to grab my cell phone; The Orange light was still there when I came back but it had stopped moving. As I watched it and tried to turn on my phone (battery dead) it just disappeared as I watched. This was a perfectly clear night. I could see the star Sirius and the Big Dipper, very clearly. The Orange light was brighter than the stars, but just a little dimmer than Sirius. The Orange light was visible for about two minutes. Then I saw a second Orange light much higher in the sky, coming from the northwest and moving in the direction where the first Orange light had vanished. These two lights were unmistakably the same color orange, as I had seen on December 2, 2008. The Orange light went to about the same area where the first one disappeared, and then it vanished.

Apple Valley, California UFO Keeps Changing Shapes

Location of Sighting: Over Apple Valley moving south over Hesparia mountains.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: It would change shapes mostly. No it would change.
Full Description of event/sighting: It was so cool. I went to meet my son at his bus stop and over the valley in the east direction we saw what we thought were birds, but it would change color from white to silver to invisible. And then we thought balloons. We just kept looking into the sky, in a amazement. We thought balloons, but again balloons did not float and change shape in a unison pattern. We saw shapes like a army tank, a fish, a scorpion, an oval. All three dimensional. My son said that the kids on the bus were debating what it was. We watched it for about 20 minutes. I keep telling him we should drive in the car and try to follow it, but we just kept watching it, hoping it would get closer so we could see what it was. I finally talked him in to getting the video camera. We began to walk home, going south. Then it just seemed to take off going south over the mountains. We watched it all the way home, which was less than a block and by the time we were home we could not even see it in the sky any more. I was wondering if any one else saw something like this as well. I looked on the local news but found nothing.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Chatfield, Minnesota Strange Star-Like UFO
Date: December 12, 2008
Time: 9:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Southwest of my apt. building, above funeral home.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Star-like.
Full Description of event/sighting: I was sitting on my fiancé's couch watching TV, when I noticed movement out my window to the southwest, approximately 1/2 mile away, that appeared like a plane with a very bright white light approaching my building. I was intent on trying to identify the object, when it stopped and remained completely still for approximately 20-25 seconds and then went dark, as if a "camera shutter" closed around it. It was a totally clear sky that evening and very, very cold. My fiancé didn't see the object. Since 1995, there have been several sightings in and around Southeast Minnesota. We've seen colored orbs, rods, a bright rectangular craft, and a large black square that blocked out the stars. All this in and around Chatfield, St. Charles, and Spring Valley, Minnesota.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Highfield Road, Collier Row, Essex UK 4 Lights Glowing Orange Like Flame
Date: December 22, 2008
Time: 9:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Highfield Road, Collier Row, Essex.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 4
Shape of objects: Unknown (They were too difficult to see as they were glowing like flame).
Full Description of event/sighting: At around 9:30pm I was watching TV with a friend of mine when all of a sudden my mother called my name from the bottom of the stairs, I asked her what she wanted, to which she replied 'Look out of the window'.
My friend and I looked out of the window and saw 4 lights in the sky which were glowing orange like flame. We immediately ran downstairs to join my mother in the garden to witness these things closer.
The sky was kind of foggy that night and so by the time my friend and I had reached the garden 1 of the objects had disappeared. The remaining 3 seemed to be flying in formation in a South-easterly direction.
The sighting lasted around 5 minutes until all of the objects disappeared into the fog (at least that's how it appeared).
The lights were not flashing at all and were larger then they should be for commercial planes and so, even though they were travelling along a flight path (there is an airport 30 miles in that direction), I don't believe they were standard planes.
I can't imagine they were hot air balloons either as I saw no balloon shape above the glowing lights and the conditions were rather unappealing for a hot air balloon ride (It was dark, cold and foggy).
There was also no noise to be heard from the objects, which from the distance they appeared to be at to my friend and I would not be out of the ordinary, however, my mother had seen them when they were above her and there was apparently still no noise, which would be unusual.
This sighting was very weird and I have never seen anything similar to it before,
I did however read this http://www.ufoinfo. com/sightings/ uk/081122a. shtml (which is why I am filling in this form) which tells me that whatever I saw is not uncommon in this area and so I will be keeping an eye out and will be sure to contact you again if they reappear.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Above Port Talbot Wales, UK A Round Orange Ball
Date: December 24, 2008
Time: 5:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Above Port Talbot.
Number of witnesses: 7
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round Orange Ball.
Full Description of event/sighting: At 5:00pm I came out of a local store and a bright light caught my eye. This light was moving from east to west very slowly. I watched the object for several minutes on my walk home. When I arrived at my home, several of my neighbors were also watching. I watched for approximately two minutes and the object did not move. I then went into my home to fetch my binoculars. Once I peered through the binoculars I could see the object was a round orange ball. The ball did not move again, it stayed there hanging in the sky for approximately 2 - 3 minutes. Later the ball gradually moved away getting smaller and smaller. My neighbors said they could no longer see it with their eyes, but through the binoculars it was still visible. Over the next few seconds it gradually became not visible even with binoculars.
Thank you to the witness for their report.

Fahan, Co. Donegal, Ireland Two Orange Round Lights
Date: December 24, 2008
Time: 8:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Fahan, Co. Donegal, Ireland.
Number of witnesses: 7
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Round lights.
Full Description of event/sighting: I noticed 2 lights in the sky. They were an orange colour like street lights. They were far apart but moved together. I thought it was a helicopter or airplane but they were too far apart and too low. There was no noise at all. They moved across the sky maintaining the same distance from each other! I found your site after Googling UFO in News, sounds like a recent report from Scotland. I'd be really interested in finding out what the objects were!
Thank you to the witness for their report.

UFO - Cochrane, Alberta Bright White Light With Beam Of Light
Date: December 24, 2008
Time: 11:40 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Cochrane, Alberta, Canada.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Unknown.
Full Description of event/sighting: Hi Brian, last night I had the most amazing thing happen, the event starts out quite typically. I was standing in the front window of my office at home looking out the window. A very bright white light, the size of my fist at arms length lit up directly in front of me and across the street out of nowhere. For a couple seconds I stood there frozen, staring at this light and then the shocker of a lifetime, a light beam the size of a power pole instantly appeared from the light. Brian I can't stress enough how shocking that was to see, incredible. Funny thing was I don't recall seeing the neighborhood lit up, although this light was easily similar to any police helicopter. A helicopter would have lit up the whole place, as well rattled our windows had it been where that light and beam appeared.
Anyway of course instead of grabbing the camera I ran down the stairs yelling get to the back door. For some reason because of the direction of the light, I assumed it was coming towards us and over the house. So we both stand there like idiots in our socks in the snow with total silence waiting and nothing came over. I ran back to the front and saw nothing there anymore (heavy sigh) I'm hoping and praying that somebody must have seen that happen. There was nothing subtle about it. So bright, I couldn't see what was making the light. The beam as well was a yellowish-white color and was not fanned out like a hi-power flashlight would do. Please email me Brian if any other people come forward. Please and thanks and I really hope you have a great holiday and New Year Brian.
Thank you to the witness for the interesting sighting report.

Poulton Le Fylde In Lancashire, UK Lights In Formation
Date: December 25, 2008
Time: Approx: 9:35 p.m.
Hi Brian, never reported anything like this, in fact have always been slightly skeptical, but my wife and I witnessed the weirdest thing last night whilst out walking the dog. We live in a town called Poulton Le Fylde in Lancashire UK (north west England) we were out walking the dog and at approx 21.35. We witnessed the first one, then a further 2 large bright lights moving fairly slowly overhead. The direction was from the NE and travelling to the W. They seemed to be in formation. we watched them for approx 5-7 minutes until they disappeared into low cloud, they were flying below the cloud which was low when we first witnessed them and appeared fairly large, I had the impression they were moving in a circuitous route.
We were fascinated so decided to retrace our route and 5 minutes later were passed again by the lights, they could have been 3 more but i had the distinct impression it was the same 3 completing a circuit. The first time we saw them a couple had come outside their house and were also watching and commenting on how strange the objects were, on our second sighting we were passed by a guy talking excitedly on his mobile phone about the lights and it is quite possible that a group standing outside the local pub also witnessed the event. As it was Xmas day there was very little traffic on the road and the second time they passed us it was apparent that they were absolutely silent, no rotor noise like a chopper ( the local police have 1 incident chopper) and certainly no jet noise. I would describe the coloration as similar to a sodium glow/gold-ish, no evidence of navigation or other lights, my feeling was that the objects were quite large, i have 4 pictures taken on my mobile phone, quality is not great but they are very obviously not conventional aircraft.
I must add that whilst this was Xmas day, I was absolutely sober having had just one glass of wine at three in the afternoon, looking on your web site (this is the first time i have ever had reason to research these matters) there seems to be a spate of similar incidents over a short timeframe here in the UK, or are these sightings common? If you are interested I will try to transfer the images from my phone and forward them, on an unrelated topic I share your love of fishing being a very keen lure fisherman specializing in large pike. Many thanks.
Thank you to the witness for a good report.
