Report sent to The National UFO Reporting Center 08/23/05



On the morning of August 6th between 7:00-7:30AM My wife and I were watching NASA TV from our Direct TV Satellite dish. I was also recording on my tabletop VCR and while we were watching NASA's broadcast of the STS-114 Discovery mission. The Shuttle had undocked from the International Space Station and passed between Australia and New Zealand on it's orbit and was now half way across the Pacific Ocean south of Hawaii and west of Chile. The TV camera located at the back of Space Shuttle Discovery's cargo bay was trained on the Earth's darkened ocean and horizon showing stationary bright and dim stationary lights with some blinking on or above the surface and what appear to be stars in the sky at the bottom of the frame. With the curve of the Earth visible. The view is upside down because of the orientation of the Shuttle (flying upside down). Suddenly one dimly lighted object appeared around 9-o'clock in the frame and quickly traveled down to the lower right around 5-o'clock in the frame and slowing to a stop at the curve of the Earth. A few seconds later a large bright object appears around 4-o'clock in the frame and swiftly travels left across the frame at an upward angle and slows to a stop around 9-o'clock then reverses direction and retraces its path across the frame. Around the same time you will notice a dimly lighted object from around the 1-o'clock position in the frame travel straight down and exits at the bottom of the screen. Also at the same time there is another dimly lighted object around the 8-o'clock position in the frame traveling from left to right at an upward angle across the frame to around the 2-o'clock position in the frame and exits the frame. When the large bright object approaches the 4-o'clock position the camera is panned to the left away from where the object is traveling and clouds appear from the top of the frame and dims half the screen. Then the down link is cut off by NASA TV. The programming comes back on showing the computer graphic of the orientation of the Shuttle and then changes to the Shuttle bay camera again showing the Earth as it's orbit brings it into the lighted part of the Earth. I counted a total of four moving objects. Three dim and one bright. The VHS tape I was recording the broadcast with was recording in the SLP setting (not the best quality) but I converted the footage to DVD format and the video is very clear on a computer monitor. I have sent a copy of this DVD to The National UFO Reporting Center for evaluation. I have also e-mailed stills from the video to the Director.

I have a DVD of the video that I can mail to you.

Year 1974

Month, November

Location, Snake Pass just west of Ladybower Resevoir, Debyshire

Report,

It was evening time and there was fog along the snake pass on the Derbyshire side of the Pennine Hills. I was driving a Ford Capri 2000 GT V4.

I was heading West towards Manchester, had pased Ladybower Resevoir and was climbing up the Pennines just before the steep lefthand bend in the road.

On my right the hills were heavily wooded and are approximately 2-300ft steeply sloped up from the road. I was just climbing out of the fog into a beautiful late clear blue late autumn evening, ahead was a Volvo estate which I started to overtake.

As I drew alongside the Volvo my engine died, I dipped the clutch and pumped the accelerator, after what seemed like a considerable time, but probably somewhere in the region of 2-3 seconds the engine picked up again and I completed the overtake safely, the strange thing was that the Volvo had not drawn ahead of me in the time I was without power.

As I climbed along the rest of the road up to the top of the snake pass I had the feeling that in my peripheral vision I had seen a strange craft which appeared to be resting on top of the trees at the top of the hill to my right, it was grey with a dull orange dome with what looked like a grey strip running down roughly dissecting the dome into halves.

I crossed the top of the Pennines and started to descend towards Glossop, here the road bends to the right with a very steep drop on the left but with a gravel verge. The view from here is uncluttered and looks over the Lancashire plain towards Manchester Airport.

The evening was very clear and there was an industrial haze over the plain but I was above the top of the haze looking over it when I saw what I thought was a very bright star. However on further observation it became apparent that the 'star' was between me and the horizon.

It was a lovely sight so I pulled onto the gravel verge and stopped, got out of the car and watched the 'star' (object) for a while ...it seemed to be resting stationary just on top of the haze then after probably a minute to 2 minutes it described a flat trajectory arc of 180* travelled into the distance and vanished over the horizon at an incredible speed, far faster than any aircraft could or can travel these days, including Concorde.

I have thought about it on occaisions over the years and have often wondered if I had a UFO experience that evening.

my naration of the experience gives all the details I can remember, however I am reasonably certian that it was a disc shaped object I saw on the top of the hill. The object near Manchester airport looked just like a very bright star or planet, blue/silver type of colour

Full Description & Details

Driving on Highway 5 south to LA early morning with my wife and sister in-law. We had just stopped for gas just before Santa Nella and had returned to the highway. At first I noticed a bright light shining in the rear of the drivers side of the vehicle. The object seemed to be following us on the left of the vehicle headed south. When I made the comment as to who was following us my sister in-law looked back and exclaimed she thought it to be an airplane. The object then made it's way to the righte side of the vehicle. It was black and had three bright white lights, it was very agile. I was driving and looked to the right side of the vehicle and a first glance thought it was a private airplane, but after watching it for awhile I noticed it was too small for a plane. The object then crossed in front of the vehicle to the left again into a field and appeared to begin to land. Just as it appeared to begin to land it swiftly swooped back up towards the sky and we didn't see it anymore.

I was working in Mexico just outside the city of Guadalajara in a little city called Ajijic, we were renting a house and I was taking pictures of the view. We were reviewing pictures June of this year when we noticed this one, I’d like to know what you think. This is over the biggest inland lake in Mexico (Lake Chapala) notice the date on the picture over 4 years ago.

What do you think this is? Maybe you know how to blow up this picture.

I took this photograph while driving through the Salt River Canyon (between Globe and Show Low) on Arizona State Route 60. We were approaching the bridge at the bottom of the canyon. If you will recall this is the same general area where the movie "Fire in the Sky" was filmed. The date was Saturday, August 6th at about 5:00 PM. I did not see the object in the sky. It only became visible when I downloaded the images onto my computer. There was one other person in the car with me, my wife who was driving. I took the photo with our Kodak Easy Share CX4200 digital camera. I was taking a picture of the bridge because I am a crane operator and one of the men who built the bridge several years ago. There were no other photographs taken through the front windshield on this day but I can assure you that this was not a spot on the windshield. We enlarged the already big picture that you sent and there appears to be a figure or distinct image on the belly of this thing. Too bad our resolution was not better.

Full Description & Details

I was a sophmore in highschool and was heading down to Gulf Shores for Spring break with my family. We had just stopped at a rest area and were getting on the highway when my dad spotted the object in the sky. He said jokingly look there is a ufo. It was not a joke anymore as the object moved closer and closer until it was hovering right above our vehicle. It was larger than the size of a football field maybe 2. It was triangular shaped and had a light in each point the inside was slightly indented with a curved rim around the outer edge. It hovered about 2 stories above our vehicle. when we first saw it it was about 11:00 p.m. The object floated up and then took off at a high high rate of speed so that it was just a speck in the distance. What is really strange is that when we looked at the clock shortly after it was after 2:00 a.m. but I know that we were not observing it for that long. We had almost 2 hours of missing time. This took place in the foot hills of the mountians in Louisville KY. in 1994.

Full Description & Details

It was late in evening, dark, when I stepped out of the house, off the patio and into lawn toward the barn where the children were feeding the horses. A bright searchlight, motionless, was suddenly upon me. I looked up to see where it was coming from, when I saw a HUGE disc-shaped circle of small lights to the right of me. It appeared to be a craft and judging from the distance and size and the many lights, big enough to accomodate 100 people (?) in my judgment. The second I made eye contact, the spotlight was gone and the craft shot up like the speed of light, soundless.

There were several strange incidents happening in our area in Ohio during that time, cows found dead without blood, a fellow nurse told me of small disc shaped crafts bombarding her with pellet like beams on her way home from 3-11 shift......

The year was 1949 and I would say it was sometime in late spring or beginning of summer. Sorry I can't remember a more exact dae. We were a group of 4 USAF personnel of an Aircraft Control & Warning Ssquadron stationed at Kirtland AFB, Albuquerque, N. Mexico. We were walking to the mess hall at high boon and we happened to look up to witness three shiny objects at an extremely high altitude. It was difficult to determine altitude or the shape of these objects. From our point of view they appeard small due to their altitude. What attracted our attention was their shiny reflection from the sun. They zipped around in their flight during the time we were watching, changing direction at will. Actually they could change direction as fast as an individual could change their mind. They were not in a definite formation, but each would zip around in an independat direction during their mission or purpose as we watched.

We contacted our Commanding Officer to report what we were observing and continued on our way to the mess hall. Our time was limited as we had to get back to our work stations after lunch. Our CO was responsible for sending a jet to gather information, but due to the altitude of the UFOs, they were up beyoned the operationg altitude of the jet.

Witness Background

I graduated from Abington High School in 1948 and enlisted in the USAF. After basic training, I spent the next 10 months at the USAF High Spreed Radio Operator Schools in Bellville, IL and Biloxi, Mississi ppi before being assigned to an Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron at Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, NM. During my time off, I was taking courses at the University of New Mexico until the Korean War broke out. Our whole outfit volunteered to go to Korea where I spent 19 months. Unfortunaltely we weren't allowed to finish what we went over to do. The then President Truman decided he wanted to belittle the greatest general of all time, Douglas MacArthur. He relieved MacArthur of his command because he thought MacArthur was going to run for presiden and displace him. Most of the Is wanted to back MacArthur and go into Chinba and do the job right. Truman said no. Now we are paying the jprice for what Truman did. We were the only country with the atom bomb. We sat aroung and waited for the rest of the world to catch up. Now uncountable countries have it or able to get it through the underground of terrorism. North Korea and Chibna are not a problem that President Bush created. Unfortunately for him, he inherited it and so did the 250 million plus American citizens because of President Truman..

Sorry. unable to suppy a sketch. Altitude of three objects was too high to make out the shape or size. If we didn't see the brilliant reflection from the sun on these moving objects, we would never have know they were there.

What I found to be strange about this sighting is that I could see the so called beings inside the glass bubbles as clear as one sees another person at 50 feet away.They all three appeared to look scandinavian with blond hair and thin builds.I know I could take any test and all this would be accurate.I felt like I was being deliberately shown this sighting.The metal of the three round craft appeared to be a bronze with inscriptions.I told several people at work about it.But it sounds so crazy, you figure no one will believe you.There was no mention in the paper that next day and nothing on the news.

Email from HeeJoo Kim in South Korea:

Hi.

I've watched 3 types of UFO in Aug. 20, 2005 at Seoul, South Korea.

That was very clear sky and some of withe cloud. Time was 4:00 P.M to 5:30 P.M. My camera is Sony DSC-F707 attatched with skylight filter.

The first UFO I have watched was below.

I went out to take a picture about 4:00 P.M. near my house. When I saw sky, very bright white and circular object was moved East to West. That was not too fast, so I clearly watch the object untill that was disappeared behind the cloud. I think that was about few minutes. I took some picture of that, but my camera was in Shuter Time priority mode. The shuter speed was 1/20s, so the image was too bright to analyze.

Second was black disk type object.

That was very fast and too far too take a picture well. After downloaded from my camera I found out only a black small point. That object was moved right and left, and after a few seconds, that was moved opposit direction of me very high speed. I thought the UFO was hovering around my area and resoluted I would not miss to take some picture well if that UFO appear again.

Third time was below.

After missed two times of the UFO, I thought the UFO was hovering around my area and resolved I would not miss to take some picture well if that UFO appear again. I have turned on my camera, and watched sky cafully here and there. That time, one UFO was flight right over on my place. That was very close. I was on the new road which width was about 10m and not open. So any of car was parking on that road. The UFO was flight top of the road and moved left side of the road. So I took about 10 pictures. That was very clear day, the sun light was too bright to see the LCD view finder. So I took pictures the UFO without viewing finder of my camera. Fortunately, I succeeded to take four picture. When I watched the UFO first, that was black and emulate bright light intermittently and rotated left to right.

After downloaded the image files and opened it, the image of the UFO was close blue color. You can see the different position of the emulating point on the four picture of the UFO. Because I was stand same direction on the road. The sun was front of me. I watched the object about 3 minutes. The UFO was disappeared from my sight to the South.

That was my watching story.

I send you 4 pictures of UFO and just 2 pictures of the sky of that place where I took the pictures. And just added enlarged pictures.

My English is not good. Please revise all of the sentence, and ask me any questions.

best regards

HeeJoo Kim
