CONNECTICUT, MASSACHUSETTS, NEW YORK AND VERMONT SEE FIREBALL?
NORTH CANAAN -- The Boston Globe article states, that area residents report hearing a sonic boom, and seeing a fireball. Authorities found no evidence of a plane crash but many people saw a fireball, Saturday afternoon, February 9, 2002. Police, firefighters, and airports received calls at about 2:30 PM from people who described seeing a fireball in the sky, hearing a sonic boom and an explosion. "It looked like a long metal item, and another said it looked like a piece of metal with a fireball,'' said a police dispatcher at Troop B, who refused to give her name. David Paine, a state police spokesman in Massachusetts said officials believe it could have been a meteor. ''There were a number of calls for sighting of fireballs and sounds of sonic booms in Russell, Montgomery, Pittsfield and into New York state,'' said Lt. Paul C. Maloney, another spokesman for the Massachusetts state police. ''We did send an aircraft in the areas (where the sightings were reported) and they saw nothing at that time.'' The Federal Aviation Administration, which received calls from southern Vermont and western and central Massachusetts, said it had no reports of missing aircraft and had been told by the North American Aerospace Defense Command there were no military activities taking place.

NEW HAMPSHIRE BRIGHT BLENDING LIGHTS
FREMONT -- The witness was asked by his wife to come outside at 10:00 PM, January 20, 2002, and look at a ball of light that had been just sitting across Route 107 that she had observed while taking the dogs out. He came out to see two bright balls of light no more than 2000 feet away across the street in a sand pit. The lights were a blend of red, green, blue and white. The larger one was three car lengths in a circle, about sixty feet in diameter, while the smaller light was about two car lengths in a circle. They were about fifty feet above the treetops. The smaller of the two fled northeast at a high rate of speed and the other one hovered above the treetops. It hovered back and forth and up and down for about eight minutes. And the weird thing was it made NO SOUNDS! Not a hum, not a whisper! Then it gradually continued over Route 107 and headed off toward Danville, NH area at 20 to 25 MPH at about fifty feet above the trees. The witness states, "After researching, I found that we have a power grid about a mile away." Thanks to Peter Davenport Director National Reporting Center, www.NUFORC.com

MASSACHUSETTS OCTAGON UFO WITH BRIGHT RED AND WHITE LIGHTS
SOUTHWICK -- On January 16, 2002, the witness was outside at 10:15 PM, on very clear night, when he heard what he assumed was an airplane. The witness stated, "When it got closer I noticed that there were only red and white lights (typically the planes that fly over here also have green lights and that's why this caught my attention). The lights were very bright and as the object got closer I saw that it was not a plane at all but an object that was shaped very much like an octagon with bright red and white lights. I watched as the object headed east. The lights were so bright that I could see the object for several minutes a long way off. I called my sister in Springfield (which is approximately 20 miles from here) and told her to go outside to see if she could see a UFO. She saw the object but thought that it was a plane. When I asked her if she saw any wings on the plane? She said, "She couldn't see any wings, but could see another aircraft heading her way." What seemed very strange was that both of the aircraft seemed to turn and fly back this way. I watched until the object finally disappeared heading south. The second aircraft was still in sight when the octagon shaped object disappeared. Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC www.ufocenter.com

NEW YORK TWENTY HIGH FLYING METALLIC OBJECTS
NORTH TONAWANDA -- The witness was standing outside smoking a cigarette on January 16, 2002, when he noticed about 20 objects moving northeast at 12:10 AM. They did not have exterior lights but they appeared to be metallic. The witness stated, "When I first noticed them they appeared to be in a formation, but they moved around in groups of about five into different formations. They appeared to be very high and moving very quickly. They were not aircraft that I've ever seen. Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC

SAM DONALDSON TV NEWS JOURNALIST ANTICIPATES FIRST CONTACT
WASHINGTON DC -- Steve Basset an UFO disclosure activist says he's doing his best to help TV newsman Sam Donaldson live up to a New Year's resolution about extraterrestrial contact. Steve Basset of the Extraterrestrial Phenomena Political Action Committee (X-PPAC) doesn't think that Donaldson's comment on ABC's "This Week" were at all tongue-in-cheek. "No," Basset told The Electric Warrior, "He was quite serious, and he made essentially the same resolution last year. On the first 2002 broadcast of ABC's "This Week" with Sam Donaldson and Cokie Roberts, Sam once again repeated his New Year resolution that this would be the year we would make contact with extraterrestrials. X-PPAC is making every effort to inform Sam (one of the good guys in this town) that extraterrestrial contact is "old news" and he can change his resolution to, "This is the year we finally have open congressional hearings and the UFO/ET cover-up comes to an end."

NORTH CAROLINA MOON MOVES IN FRONT OF CLOUDS
SPENCER -- Terri Bechthold writes, "I saw the strangest thing this morning February 4, 2002, as I was taking my two dogs out for their recycling walk before I left for work. I have to get up at 4 to leave my house for work by 5:00 AM. I always look up at the dark sky while my dogs are conducting their business. I saw something I've never seen before and will never forget. I saw the Moon halved, one side dark the other lighted and then moving clouds only the clouds were passing behind the Moon. I immediately took my dogs inside, grabbed my telescope, and looked to make sure it wasn't an optical illusion. Lo and behold, the clouds were passing behind the Moon. Was it really just an illusion? Thanks to Terri A. Bechthold.

FLORIDA LIGHTS OVER FOR HALF HOUR ON VIDEO
WINTER HAVEN -- Lee Malone wrote, "I was shocked to see a sighting in Lake Wales last week in Filer's Files 5 since I live one town away. My wife and I were leaving the in-laws on our way home and while facing towards Lake Wales, we saw a very extremely bright light like the color of the sun yellowish orange. I took it to be a flare or something, but suddenly it split into two very bright lights and just hung about 20 degrees elevation from our vantage. Suddenly three smaller lights dropped out of the bottom of the two and they immediately went out. Then all at once a complete row of six appeared lower about 4 degrees and stayed stationary and illuminated. I was a former MUFON investigator trainee and prior Air Force Flyer so I know what we have in the sky and I've never seen anything like this. This sighting occurred on February 1, and again on February 3, 2002, and I have spoken to other witness's. Please see attached photos I captured from video. One of pictures has street lights in it but you can see the row of lights between them. At first, I was truly inclined to think they were flares but something about them was just too odd. I was able to observe them for 30 plus minutes and flares last only a couple minutes. Also, on one night a sector of the sky lit up like a Christmas tree and then just as sudden they all went out. I realize C-130's drop illuminator flares and they do burn orange when the canister burns up, but I've never seen it last over 20 minutes and stay stationary. Thanks to Lee Malone.

MISSOURI POLICE OFFICER SHOOTS UFO WITH RADAR
CAPE GIRARDEAU -- On January 26, 2002, a police officer observed a circular object traveling southbound approximately 400 feet in altitude and no more than 30 MPH. The object appeared to "float" over city and made no noise at 9:45 PM. The object was approximately 50 feet in diameter and white or a "shiny" color which reflected light from below. The object was not displaying its own lights and could only be seen from the reflection of lights below. I aimed a handheld radar at the object, but did not receive a reading. The sighting lasted for one minute. A report of the incident was reported to the UFO Center by telephone following the event. ((NUFORC Note: Witness was encouraged by his police department to report the incident. The witness and Peter Davenport appeared on the Jeff Rense radio program on Feb. 12, using his correct name.

ARKANSAS LOW-MOVING UFO SIGHTED
BIGELOW -- On Friday, January 25, 2002, at 8:00 p.m., Daniel Williams was burning brush on his property on Wayne Mountain, when he noticed an unusual black cloud approaching from the west. I was clearing my property, cutting and burning small-diameter pine trees on a bonfire five feet in diameter, with seven-foot-tall flames. The sky was unusually clear with an extremely bright three-quarter moon. I noticed an airplane blinking at the southern horizon and to the west there was a black cloud gliding towards me no higher than a 1,000 feet. The moon was reflecting off the curves of the nose of it, as it came closer. No lights, no blinking as it approached." I stood there and I realized that what I was seeing was very dark and shaped so damn strangely. It was shaped like one of those 'candy corn' sugary candies, but the front of it was blunt and it tapered back to an actual oval." I could plainly see it drift by with no windows and no lights, but the streetlights were reflecting on its underside. As it continued, I saw the UFO's stern that had two large round, dark red, very dimly lit circles like dirty red taillights of an automobile. Then I saw that they were surrounded by segmented 'flaps' or raised areas that encircled the red circles and filled each side of the oval rear." "I would guess this craft to be 100 feet (30 meters) long and 40 feet (12 meters) wide. I noticed it was cruising with the right side of the craft lower than the left side, but it was maintaining a straight line (course). It continued on out of sight, slowly floating." "I realized that I was standing next to my fire, and 'they' could see me, too. I was numb. "This thing did not look aerodynamic. The front wasn't pointed enough. I realized that all airplanes must have (navigation) lights, blinking all the time. This had nothing but those big eerie dark red burners." Bigelow is 20 miles northwest of Little Rock.

KANSAS BLOB LANDS
WICHITA -- Dean Schreck writes, "I saw something in broad daylight a month ago that still has me puzzled." It looked at first like a pod or capsule like plane with balloon like distorted shape above it. As I drove closer, the upper objects beneath had no cable, ropes or anything that I could see connecting it to the bottom plane like object. The blobish shape of the upper object gradually changed as the two shapes moved closer to the ground. It came to look like one of those curved mattress-like parachutes viewed from the side. I watched this for a couple of minutes or more. The object(s) moved down behind some trees and out of sight. If this was a military vehicle of some kind that was parachuting down to earth, it landed somewhere in an open field on the edge of a well populated area. This makes no sense to me, does it make sense to you? Thanks to Dean Schreck http//explorer.msn.com

CALIFORNIA BORDER PATROL SPOTS A DOZEN DISCS
MEXICAN BORDER -- A Border Patrol Agent with the U. S. Immigration and Naturalization Service reported he was on duty at in Jo Valley (spelling?) on January 31, 2002, approximately 70 miles east of San Diego, when he witnessed not fewer than a dozen disc-shaped objects pass over his vehicle. He stated that his patrol dog, a German Shepherd, began acting strangely, and stuck his head out an open window. At about the same time, the officer heard a peculiar, low-pitched warbling sound. He looked out the front window of his patrol vehicle, and was amazed to witness a disc-shaped object, with a dome on its top, move slowly across the sky at a seemingly slow velocity. The officer looked back to the area of the sky whence the disc apparently had come, only to see a cluster of not fewer than a dozen, perhaps as many as 30, discs, all identical in appearance to the first, moving across the sky from west to east. The officer jumped out of his vehicle to get a better look at the objects, when he noticed that there was a "boomerang-shaped" object in the midst of the cluster of discs. He turned on his overhead flasher lights, at which time the boomerang-shaped object appeared to accelerate away from the cluster of discs, and fly very rapidly up into the dark morning sky, and out of his sight.

The cluster of discs followed behind the boomerang, and all of the objects disappeared from his sight, as well. The discs exhibited a white, or yellowish, light around their flanges, which fluctuated in intensity. Also, he reported, the discs appeared to have a black margin on their margin. Except for the warbling sound he heard at the outset of the sighting, the objects gave off no perceptible sound. The officer added that based on the assumed distance the objects were from his location, had they been military jets, the sound that would have emanated from the objects would have been deafening. The officer estimated that the objects' diameter was "two or three times the length of a city bus," or 100 to 150 feet. The officer's supervisor confirmed to NUFORC that the officer had submitted a written memo about the incident, and that the officer would not be permitted by his commander to speak any further about the incident.

CANADA UFOs HAS 'X' ON ITS UNDERBELLY
HAMILTON, ONTARIO -- The witness says, "I was partying at a friend's house on January 18, 2002, and everyone had fallen asleep by 5:00 AM. I decided to clean up my friend's rather atrocious house and this required taking the garbage outside. It was a clear night and as I placed the garbage bags into the bin I noticed a bright light far away on the horizon. The light began an unbelievable ascent into the sky. Because of the rate at which the object could climb I first entertained the notion of this vessel being an unidentified flying object. The light seemed to be emanating from one source but if I glanced away for the briefest moment, the light appeared to be made up of multiple lights that were arranged in a semicircle pattern. The object had risen to an enormous height in the sky and I thought it was going to disappear, when suddenly it began a descent with the velocity at which it had previously risen. I remember a feeling of fright coming over me. As a rational person I was terrified at the notion that something inexplicable could exist, and yet here it was before me. The object was coming in my direction as it descended. I lost sight of the object for a second and then it reappeared directly overhead. I estimate it must have been about a mile-and-a-half above the ground. It sliced through the clouds effortlessly and as soon as it had appeared overhead, it was gone. The underpannel was marked with an 'X' and had white lights outlining this shape. There appeared to be a red light moving around the object in a circular pattern. I remember hearing a low buzzing sound that accompanied the vessel as it flew overhead. I was completely overwhelmed by the sight.

HOUSTON, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- Brian Vike writes that numerous sightings are continuing 700 miles north of Vancouver in the great Northwest. He says, "I was just telling you a bit about the sighting on Friday, February 1, 2002, when a UFO buzzed a car, well there has been another sighting last night Monday, February 4, 2002. Again these two witnesses who reported hearing and seeing an object (bright white light) are large business owners here in Houston, BC, who are creditable folks. The wife heard a humming sound and looked out a couple of windows before seeing a large bright light hovering above the Bulkley River here in Houston. She then franticly called to her husband who also witnessed this object. I hope to have a full report after I get back from Vancouver. What a time to leave town for three days, but there are sightings almost nightly plus reported cattle mutilations, and crop circles all reported by reliable people. So lots going on out here right now. Will keep you posted. Thanks to Brian Vike yogibear@bulkley.net (yogibear)

PUERTO RICO BALL OF LIGHT OVER TELEVISION TOWERS
CERRO LA SANTA -- On Wednesday, February 6, 2002, at 10:30 p.m. Mr. Luis Marrero, a retired UFO researcher, was returning home along Route 52 (Las Americas Expressway) from the city of Caguas to Ponce. As he reached the vicinity of the Las Catalinas Mall, he realized that at 35 degrees altitude, and very close to the giant television transmitters, he could see a static ball of light. Luis told me that he estimated a 600-foot diameter for the light. Upon reaching the toll barrier, he noticed that the white ball of light increased in intensity. When this occurred, and after approximately 3 minutes had transpired, two smaller balls of light emerged from the white light. One of them was yellow in color and the other blue. Both headed vertically downward toward the forest below, where they vanished from sight. He was unable to see them again. Just when the small lights--which Luis described as having a size similar to auto headlights--vanished from sight, the larger light vanished, evaporated or "shut off." Luis was surprised that the towers' lights were off, something highly uncommon, since those lights are always on. He thinks the white ball of light may have caused a blackout in the area. On the following day (Thursday) there was a blackout in Cayey's Barrio Beatriz, not far from where he had seen the light. Thanks to Translation (C) 2002.

ARGENTINA UFO PUTS ON A DISPLAY
CORDOBA -- South America's current UFO flap logged another encounter last week, this time in Argentina. On Thursday, January 30, 2002, at 5: AM, two young women were walking to work in the small town of Capilla del Monte, when they spied an unusual light. "A UFO emanating rays of bright light colored yellow, blue and white was seen by the two young women in the province of Cordoba in central Argentina. The report, which was written in El Diario by Jorge Suarez, said the UFO was first seen over the Cerro Las Gemelas (hill), provoking terror in both of the witnesses. A third witness said the object disappeared as it was rising at a dizzying velocity in front of the startled gaze of both women." (See NotiOVNI for February 3, 2002. Thanks to Daniel Munoz.

HELP FOR ABDUCTEES
LONDON -- Karin an abduction researcher writes, "I usually have around 3 or 4 Experiencers I'm counseling at any time, from all around the world. I try to find ways they can help themselves, as well as share how they can benefit best from hypnotherapy (through preparation). There may be others who need help? It's usually what we imagine that most frightens us. There was no one to help me 16 years ago when I began to question my odd memories and Experiences. Through learning hypnotherapy I discovered that I had all the answers I needed inside myself; from working with others I now believe that we all are connected to an Inner Wisdom which is trying to communicate with us. We need to learn how to listen to it and then work together to integrate what we've learned into brave, meaningful, happy lives. In return for my client's anonymity, I'm given the right to share their stories. It may help others to hear them! A great deal of the investigation and integration process is discriminating amongst Experiences. They range from normal Aware Sleep Paralysis, to out-of-body journeys, to being sexually abused by invisible beings, to all the more 'normal' lights and trips and lessons of the better known UFO abductee. Having one kind doesn't mean you've had them all -- this is a common misunderstanding -- one which frightens many. Although many folks experience trauma from having to acknowledge the odd reality of alien interference in their lives, the real difficulty is in facing further incidents, of whatever kind, even just psychic. I think I'm helping to prepare them for these through self-analysis, a wider understanding of the phenomena, and knowing protective techniques. My motto is: I extend one hand in friendship and cover my ass with the other. Shortly, I hope to put the exercises, Time Line instructions, and discriminating list of similar types of Experiences on a web site, so folks can just access it without having to contact me unless they need counseling. I have put together exercises which greatly improve our ability to discern memory from fantasy; I'd be happy to share them with Paul, or with anyone. I'm currently creating a course on CE-IV and anomalous experience investigation, therapy and counseling for the on-line College of Integrated Therapies, here in London. For now, though, they'll have to write to me first. I'm happy to help :-) Karin karin.h.h@btinternet.com

NEW YORK LARGE FLYING TRIANGLE GLIDES OVER HIGHWAY
SCOTCHTOWN -- The witness was traveling west bound on State Highway 17, and saw in the distance a group of white lights with a central blinking red light moving off in distance at 6:15 AM. There was heavy traffic both directions as he drove four miles east of Exit 119 that intersects with State Highway 302 which leads to Pine Bush. As he approached Exit 119 he suddenly aware of very large (size of 737 at least) three large white lights substantially touching each other in horizontal row. The craft was very low with an altitude of only 300 feet descending silently as though gliding, Its speed was 60 MPH as it passed over Highway 17 traffic, and continued to my right descending over trees and rooftops and then turned left toward Pine Bush. The witness says, "It was banking 45 degrees, revealing three large white moderately bright circular lights defining a perfect equilateral triangle and a same size circular red light in center." None of the lights were blinking. The area between the lights appeared black and triangular, barely distinguishable from sky which was still dark and completely overcast. The craft passed about 100 feet over and in front of me. The object descended far enough to disappear below my horizon. The terrain to my right at that point is below elevation of Highway 17, where only treetops and rooftops of buildings are visible. I did not pull over to shoulder because of traffic risk. Within seconds I saw road sign saying "Pine Bush." Passed same but doubled back onto 17 and then 302 and a side road off 302 in direction of apparent landing looking for object but did not see it again. Stewart International Airport is fifteen miles east with C-5 aircraft.

HUDSON RIVER -- On January 12, 2002, the witness reports seeing a formation of two very bright lights, that looked like they where stacked on top of one another. The witness drives home for 25 minutes parallel with the Hudson River between Mechanicville and Saratoga. As she drove along the river she couldn't see anything except the bright lights. At first, she thought it was an airplane but it was hovering and the lights where arranged differently, and were too big and bright to be an airplane. The witness reports, "At the same time I looked around because they would keep disappearing and reappearing." I also saw a standard plane way to the right of the strange craft. I stopped my car and watched this strange formation, and the lights would go away. Then it would appear in the same spot again, not moving. Then it just disappeared and was gone. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director National Reporting Center, www.nuforc.com.

NEW JERSEY DISC LOW OVER TREES
HAZLET -- Robert La Marco writes that my wife and kid's had a sighting of a very bright disc shaped object over Hazlet on January 22, 2002. I myself did not see it, but they were going to basket ball practice, south bound on Route 35 , when my wife saw a bright disc low over the trees in the direction of Holmdel, NJ. She stated to me it just sat there in the sky, not moving, then in the blink of the eye it shot off east at incredible speed towards the Atlantic Ocean. She stated to me, "IT WAS NO PLANE! Her and both my boy's saw it very clearly, it was at about 8:00 PM. thanks to R. J. La Marco, funnycar1232000@yahoo.com

NORTH CAROLINA OVAL OBJECTS HOVERING MILITARY JETS
JAMESTOWN (ADAM'S FARM) -- The witness reports, "On January 12, 2002, I stepped outside my work with a coworker at 5:30 PM." We watched what we thought were some kind of strange aircraft then as we studied more we noticed that the aircraft was not anything of this earth. They moved in ways that I have never seen. They hovered for a long period. When we went to leave work just a little while later, there were several military jets flying over Jamestown. He then called and reported this to WGHP and WFMY television,and called Piedmont Triad Airport. No one had received reports. Thanks to NUFORC.

GEORGIA INVESTIGATION, CONDENSED VERSION OF OFFICIAL MUFON REPORT
WHITESBURG CHATSWORTH -- State Director Tom Sheets reports he visited the primary witness (PW) on September 10, 2001, and received a thumbnail description and sketches of the event. Upon arrival PW stated that more objects/lights had traveled off into the distance and disappeared just before my arrival. Tom surveilled the area until about 3:00 AM with negative results.

SIGHTING ACCOUNT -- Event location is a 500+ acre tract of land consisting of woods and fields with the Chattahoochee River as the eastern boundary of the tract. The home of PW is an antebellum southern plantation house in excellent condition; in fact this tract was once a large plantation before and during the War of Northern Aggression and is currently preserved in a natural state for deer hunting. The home sits on a prominent rise overlooking the tract to the N, NE, and E. The actual interview took place at the witness' home on September 15, with other family members also present. MUFONGA Field Investigator George Lainhart was also present and assisting this inquiry. PW indicated that during the first half of June, exact date unknown, his 18 year old son came into the house one night at about 10:30 PM and woke him up saying there was a strange craft over the property that had lit up the area in clear, mild weather. PW went outside into his front yard and observed what appeared to him to be a glowing oblong object off to the northeast hovering just over the trees near the river at what he estimated to be about 500 yards away. PW stated, "He got out his binoculars and looked and rather than seeing a glowing object, under magnification it appeared to have a ring of red and white lights around a center line, the white lights very bright, with the red lights seeming to blink in sequence around the object." The object was about 1/2 inch long/wide at arm's length and illuminated the treetops in that vicinity. At this point, the other family members were also outside. PW then took up his large high candlepower spotlight used for night fishing and shined the beam on the object and received a dramatic reaction.

The object immediately flew SW at INCREDIBLE speed closer to the PW and his house and hovered over a large lone tree in front of the house in the adjacent pasture or field. PW described this burst of speed as unbelievably fast. He described the object in this closer location as being at the '10 o'clock position,' and that it was about 2 inches long/wide AAL at that time. PW stated that he was then able to see that there was actually a solid structure behind the lights, and it appeared to be a dull gray or very much like brushed stainless steel, similar to a DeLorean sports car or Greyhound bus coloration. Shortly thereafter, six additional similar objects appeared and began flying and zipping around the tract of land, moving faster, then slower, but never again with the incredible speed described above when Object #1 went from the 2 o'clock to the 10 o'clock position. PW stated that at one time, three objects were stacked up in a hover, one above the other. These events went on with no sound or other unusual affects and at relatively low altitude for about 30 minutes, and then suddenly all of the objects simultaneously vanished. This writer separately interviewed the 18 year old son who first spotted the craft and alerted his father. He said that a bright light on the field first drew his attention outside and he went inside to rouse his dad. His account was similar to his father's, adding that they zipped around, going off, coming back, no sound, and that he noticed four of the objects side by side in a sort of formation right before they vanished. Also interviewed was the 14 year old son, whose description was similar, however the lights earlier described as being red appeared more orangish to him. Along with his father, he also provided a sketch. The wife of PW had similar descriptions, but said she was more aware of the bright lights on the object's mid-line than anything else, and that she was VERY upset about the event, having never experienced anything like it before. She added she was very tired or weak the next day, but said it might be from just being up late. Daughter-in-law of PW, the fifth witness, was not available for interview. The PW was also perplexed by an event occurring a week or more earlier than that described above. He indicated that a close friend had visited for an overnight stay and had camped out on a remote part of the property. The next morning before departing, he asked the PW if he had pulled a joke on him during the night, asking if the PW had sneaked down to his camp and shined the night fishing spotlight on the wall of his tent. The PW said no that he had not done that. His friend indicated that during the night an extremely bright light had shown through his tent wall, and he had thought it might have been the PW doing it. This individual was not available for interview, but was described as a male, 36 year old advertising executive and licensed pilot.

George Lainhart is a police SWAT rifle marksman and worked for me before my retirement as Chief of Police in College Park. Lainhart still serves in this SWAT capacity, and brought along some of his laser range finding equipment used in his tactical enforcement duties. George zeroed the trees indicated as being illuminated by the first object at the 2 o'clock position and found the range to be 336 yards from the front of the house (PW had estimated 500 yards). Next he zeroed the lone tree in the front field at the 10 o'clock position to which the object moved at blazing speed to then once again hover, and found the range to be 74 yards. Lainhart then proceeded to check on foot as much of the property as he could reach, with nothing of any importance found and made photos of the area.

The PW is a 39 year old acoustical technician, married with 2 children. Besides his employment with a major acoustical company, he lives on this former plantation as a caretaker, living in the historic house and looking after the grounds. Having grown up within sight of Hartsfield Airport, this PW certainly knows what should and should not be in the sky, and the various appearances aircraft might take in their flight. Discussions with him about aviation in general proved this out. I found the PW seemingly forthright, with a good grasp on reality.

About 3:30 AM, upon leaving my night surveillance at the event site, I located Officer Josh Hobbs of the Whitesburg Police Department whose patrol zone includes the event site, but had no information regarding UFO reports earlier in the summer. He also serves as a Carroll County Deputy Sheriff. He did advise me that he would check with his associates and call me if he gained any information. The local convenience store personnel, the Newnan Georgia State Patrol Post were contacted, but no one had heard or seen UFOs. A unique feature of this case is that there is a LARGE Georgia Power Company generating Plant Yates about 1 mile south of the event site. My efforts to enter and speak with the security personnel were in vain due to the high-level security lock-down.

The PW and his family had the perfect 'viewing stand' on a small hill overlooking the property to experience this event. It was absolute quiet with good weather conditions, with benefit of binoculars, with 30 minutes of observation time, and a low level, relatively up close experience. Outside of some sort of super advanced, highly technological, super secret man-made craft Ufologists know nothing about, this did not appear to be a man-made object(s). The object made no sound; and moved from a hover to absolutely blinding speed from the 2 o'clock position to the 10 o'clock position to another hover. These objects made intricate joint maneuvers when other objects appeared; all vanishing simultaneously as if a light switch was turned off. Of course to be ridiculous, standard aircraft from Hartsfield International or Dobbins AFB might be considered because their approach patterns can be seen MANY miles away to the N and NE...tiny pin point lights with which the PW was intimately familiar...he pointed them out to me during my night surveillance. The investigation indicates the family is being truthful and a hoax is very unlikely.

Someone not accustomed to the quick methods Ufologists use to size a distant object wpuld be caught unawares. The close to matching size estimation at 1008 feet and 222 feet (2.22 feet difference) tends to demonstrate the PW is being truthful in his account and his estimation of approximate size at both locations. If he was being deceitful, the PW had no time when asked these questions, to figure out what to say in order to keep everything approximately consistent in size. I do not feel that a man-made object or other 'normal' celestial or atmospheric occurrence was responsible for this event. I classify this case as SIGNIFICANT. Thanks to Tom Sheets.

FLORIDA THREE OBJECTS WITH LIGHT BEAMS
MIAMI -- The former Army witness while driving next to a dimly lit park, on January 16, 2002, and noticed a bright red "flair-like" light in the sky. It had a tail like a comet, but it faded away. The light continued to "glide" forward until it slowed almost to a halt and split into three red lights, but a less intense red. The first object continued on the same path, but the other two stayed behind to form a triangle and became a white halogen lights aligned and parallel to each other. Those two lights began going up and down like the cylinders of an engine and disappeared as the first red light continued and disappeared. Shortly after the sighting, when the car was parked and the key was out of the ignition, one of the windows was left down. The passenger pushed the button for the window and without the key in the ignition, the window rolled up. To our surprise, all of the windows were operating with the ignition off. After a minute or so, the windows stopped like the battery had died. Later we noticed a military search plane circling at low level in the same area.

PORT CHARLOTTE -- The witness was traveling south on I-75 on January 16, 2002, at 7:40 PM, when a formation consisting of three lights was sighted. One light was extremely light and two other were less bright but of equal intensity. A light beam came from the large object, radiating downward and moving back left to right once. The formation changed as the distance between the bright object and the two lesser objects increased. Then a star burst around one of the smaller lights. It looked like a burst of energy and then the light disappeared. The second smaller light dropped further down then became smaller. The large light became dimmer and then displayed another burst of light and disappeared. Many cars pulled over to watch the event unfold.

LAKE WALES -- On January 15, 2002, at around 7:00 PM looking up in the northeast sky, we noticed a bright long white tail (thought exhaust) with 3 bright long orange bars in front of it at an angle. It traveled south for a little while, then not a sweeping turn, but it turned left and went up and away. As it turned we saw a big circle in the middle (silver in color, seemed to twinkle) and two smaller circles on each side that seemed to drop from the middle one and form a triangle. The smaller ones either faded out or went faster out of view.

LIVE OAK -- The witness reports the UFO was hovering in one spot at 7:35 PM, with three lights in a row on the sides of the saucer on January 15. There was also a light on top. The witness stood staring at the UFO, as it got closer and larger. He says, "I could only see the out line, but I couldn't really see a color -- if it was a color it was a dark one. It all happened in less than a minute, and it was gone in a flash"

LAKE BUENA VISTA -- The witness noticed an elongated orange light 15 degrees above the horizon in the eastern sky about 7:30 PM, on January 15, 2002. It was about the length of a fingernail at arm's length, and angled at about 45 degrees upward. This initial light seemed to 'grow' a tail which streamed downward with a bright golden glow, stretching to one finger length (at arm's length). The cone of the light itself did not move. The cone was like a five-pointed star which extended slightly beyond the circular light center. After about 25 seconds, the 'tail' shrunk back until only the original light was visible. Then, from the center, two lights emerged and created a triangular pattern, half a finger-length across at its widest span. These 3 lights were differently colored: red, blue, and gold. Two lights moved away from the center one, creating a larger triangular shape. First the red, then the blue light gradually faded out. Then the gold bottom light moved toward the horizon where I lost sight of it.

SARASOTA -- While driving east, on January 15, 2002, I noticed a large gray triangular object in the sky at about 45 degrees from me view. It was about 7:35 PM. It seemed to hover without a sound and eventually trees blocked my view. It had a triangle shape with light at each point. (NUFORC Note: Event may have been a missile launch, possibly from a submarine.) Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC www.nuforc.com.

AVON PARK -- called to report tremendously bright orange light hovering over the bombing range for several hours. These lights were hovering on both February 5, and 6, 2002, during the early evening hours. Smaller lights were observed around the huge center light. The light is so bright that it is difficult to look directly at it. Rick speculated the light may be an orange sodium vapor light aboard an unknown type of hovering craft. The light appeared to be at an estimated 20,000 feet too high for helicopters. Thanks to Rick Berstling Bellaire@strato.net.

ILLINOIS RED GLOWING CRAFT
CHERRY VALLEY -- The witness was driving home from work about 6:35 PM, going west on State Street on January 9, 2002, and noticed a bright, glowing, totally red craft moving across the sky, as if it's entire surface were lit up in darkish red neon. The red was like that of a dark beaded glass strawberry. It was flying high, at an altitude I'd expect to see planes, and it moved south directly across as much of the sky in about a minute. When it was in front of me it started to veer off to the southwest. At first, all I saw was the totally red oval light. After a while it seemed to change position, and then what looked like 4 red, glowing "legs" became visible. It brought to mind some kind of bug or a crab, except that it had fewer legs. The way it flew reminded me of a helicopter. There were no white or green lights on the craft.

OKLAHOMA STROBING HORIZONTAL LIGHTS
ELK CITY -- Jim Hickman reports that, "On January 25, 2002, at 6:40 PM, I was outside preparing to go to my day job, when I noticed an unusual light to my east, I would guess it was about 12 miles from me at 10 degrees above the horizon. It was a series of flashing/strobing white lights lined up horizontally. The lights were very strange; some of the lights would "flicker" while others would "strobe." I have never seen this type of lights before on aircraft. I'm a retired air force aero medic, and I have had many aircraft firefighting/rescue schools and I'm quite familiar with military aircraft types. I received a similar sighting report in the same area a few years ago, I have it detailed in my book, "5000 years of UFO's" by America House publishing. The object appeared to be moving very, very slowly to the south so I followed. I also turned on my radios, (I'm a ham radio operator, KA5UFO), and tuned to the Clinton-Sherman ATC tower frequency, 119.6 along with the local airport channel, 122.8, hoping to hear the aircraft talking to the tower. No luck, then I remembered that the CSA field is closed to air traffic until 7 am. This helped me to rule out an aircraft. It wasn't a star, planet, weather balloon, blimp, or swamp gas. This object was in my sight for about 5 minutes when it appeared to make a fast turn to the east, and the lights "winked" out and it disappeared within 5 seconds. I will have a full report filed with MUFON as soon as possible. Thanks to Jim Hickman Author, TheHickmanReport.com, MUFON Research Specialist for Media Operations www.mufon.com www.

WASHINGTON SILVER DISK
GRANITE FALLS -- The witness reports that on January 10, 2002, around 3:20 PM, when my mom and I were on our way home when I noticed a bunch of lights and thought I saw a plane hovering above the mountains. The object began to move closer in our direction. When we pulled up to the stop sign it was almost over us and we could see that it was a round silver disk with colored lights all around it. There was a smaller silver disk rotating in the center. We got out of the car and we noticed that it made no noise and headed west towards the water.

CALIFORNIA WATER LIGHTS FLY
POINT MUAGU -- The witness was by a campsite at 4:30 AM near the naval base on January 11, 2002, when he saw two lights moving in the water with a light about 100 feet above. The one in the air started to move side to side in a strange way. The two in the water began to move with it. The way they moved was like no plane. The one in the air started south towards Malibu, that's when others that looked like stars began to follow, and scan the waters as if it was a group project. The objects were airborne for thirty minutes and were gone. The lights in the water never took off they seem to dive.

CANADA BOOMERANG SHAPED, WHITE, RED LIGHTS,
CAMBRIDGE -- The witness reports, "It was about 9:15 PM on January 27, 2002, when my boyfriend and I went out to look at the stars. He was looking through the binoculars for several minutes, when I heard him gasp, and he pointed. There was an object with bright lights ascending from the tree's that stopped and hovered there for about a minute then it slowly flew above the house making no noise. Just as it was over the house it picked up speed and flew out of sight. The black or gray UFO was the shape of a boomerang. The lights were spectacular white along the top and one red one on the bottom.

CHILE TV FILMING
LOTA -- Chilean TV cameraman captured nine apparent UFOs, traveling swiftly across the skies of Region VIII. These objects are difficult to determine, even in clear blue skies, and move from left to right of shot [meteors, perhaps? Santiago Channel 13, is still carrying the video in RealPlayer format can be viewed via http://www.tele13.cl/cgi-bin/link.exe/

BUTACO -- Researchers of the OVNIVISION Chile group were able to witness the transit of a UFO and capture images of this strange luminous body through a video camera and a still camera. The capital of the Mallecas region has recorded a significant number of UFO sightings in recent months. The ufology team visited the Corazon de Maria Church, where they were had the privilege of making a sighting. While photos were being taken, they were able to witness the transit of a strange luminous body over the clear skies over Angol at 8:10 PM for five minutes Thanks to the.

SCOTLAND FLYING TRIANGLE
COATBRIDGE -- Mark Fraser reports, "A few friends phoned me on Sunday, (Feb 3, 2002?) to tell of a UFO (or supposed UOF) sighting over region of Coatbridge direction." They were coming back from Glasgow via Hamilton and noticed three distinct very bright yellow white lights in triangular shape and pulsing in the middle area. Supposedly it was very high up and disappeared for a few seconds to only to return again shortly thereafter. They are generally sound people and sounded quite shaken after seeing it. Personally my money is on the triangular USA military crafts.

TURKEY UFOs OBSERVED AND FILMED
ADIYAMAN -- At around 11:00 PM on the night of January 26, 2002, the General Directorate of Police in Adıyaman received a phone call informing that a brilliant flying object was observed at the eastern side of the city. The Police called the patrolman on duty at Adıyaman-Kahta highway at the eastern side of the city by radio, who also confirmed sighting of the brilliant object flying in the sky. The Chief of Police was notified and a police team was sent to the area equipped with night cameras. They spotted the brilliant object, which was rotating around its own axis and spreading out colorful lights, and managed to film for around 5 hours. The following night, at around 2.15 AM, two similar flying objects were observed. The objects were also filmed by the watch guard of the Security Directorate between 2:29 and 3:00 AM. The Chairman of Sirius UFO Space Sciences Research Center, Haktan Akdogan talked with the Governor of Adıyaman Halil Isık on the phone about the incident. Governor Isık reports five UFOs were observed. Twenty police officers and hundreds of civilians witnessed this incident. The film was sent to Sirius UFO Space Sciences Research Center.

VIDEO ANALYSIS: Five objects are viewed which are glowing, moving and much more brighter than any star or planet. At close-ups, the objects are rotating around their own axis. Enlarged by computer the objects were scattering around lights in various colors. The brightness and proximity of the objects reveal they were inside the atmosphere. The light beams spread out by the UFOs have been measured by spectral photometer, which also confirmed that the objects were in motion. The objects hovered and then started moving unlike aircraft. The glowing objects do not make any sound and exhibit an advanced technology and do not fit any category of conventional aerial devices. Thanks to Haktan Akdogan, Chairman of Sirius UFO Space Sciences Research Center, www.siriusufo.org . Editor's Note: A powerful earthquake toppled numerous buildings in central Turkey on February 3, 2002, killing at least 42 people. Seismologists feel there may be a connection between the UFO lights and "earthquake lights," that may have predicted the earthquakes. It is known that flying lights often occur before earthquakes and serve as a warning. We send our condolences to the families in Turkey.
