Filmed For The Discovery Channel (Photo Of The Film Crew)

 
Howdy, just got back a bit ago from Vancouver (Sunday April 29, 2012) over the Discovery Channel on camera interview.
 
All went good and I took a picture of the director and camera man, along with the sound fellow.
 
Another fellow I don’t know where he was, should have had him also in the picture.
 
 
Image Left: For larger view, click on the photo.
 
The film crew told me they were renting a truck/Van and heading to Kelowna to film for two days.
 
Also there doing an on camera interview is a really nice man, Martin Jasek from UFO*BC. It was really nice to see him again.
 
Anyway, great bunch of guys.
 
The filming was done at the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre where I stayed overnight.
 
Take care

Date:  April 27, 2012
Time:  Approx: 9:00 p.m.
 
Hi, I saw an orange ball of light last night at around 9:00 p.m. I thought it was an aircraft on fire at first, but it made no noise and was travelling at slow speed towards the west the turned right and faded out.
 
It didn’t seem to be high in the sky, has anyone else in south Australia reported this? Cheers.

Blue/Green Flash Lightened The Entire Sky Over South Africa

 
Date:  April 21, 2012
Time:  10:00 p.m.
 
I’m from South Africa. We (myself and 2 friends) were sitting outside (21 April 2012,+- 10: 00 p.m.), and suddenly the electricity went down and a blue/green flash lightened the entire sky for 2 seconds and then the electricity went back on!
 
It wasn’t lightning as it was dead quite! That was so weird, and all 3 of us saw this. I have no idea what it was or what it could be!

Orange Colored Light Traveled In The Sky Over Boskruin Randburg Johannesburg South Africa

 
Date:  January 1, 2012
Time:  Approx: 11:00 p.m.
 
I saw something as described on New Years at about 11:00 p.m. as well. I was in Boskruin Randburg looking south, southwest.
 
It moved in a perfect straight line from where I was looking at a constant slow-ish speed then it just vanished. 
 
I thought it could maybe be a lantern or something, but I doubt it.

Multi Coloured Object Seen In The Sky Over Gloucestershire England UK

 
Date:  April 21, 2012
Time:  10:53 p.m.
 
I saw this as well, I am not in the same area, but today (April 21st 2012) in Gloucestershire, England I saw this exact same thing, last year in November some time I also saw something in the sky that started off blue after an hour on the dot, changed red and then blue and then green, after that it faded out each exactly an hour apart.
 
I did not see the 3 lights looking down however. The 'star' has been there as the second star I could see and it has been there for about 4 hours at the time of this message which is 22:53 GMT. It is still there now and hasn't moved so it cannot be an aircraft such as a helicopter or plane.
 
Some people are saying it is just a star with the gases making the colours and some say it is the planet Mercury.
 
I do not have a camera good enough to zoom in or take a picture either, but somebody else in Glasgow way up north is seeing it as well but to him there is no purple or green in the flashing.

Three White Lights Shot Upward And Disappeared Over Coomera River Gold Coast Queensland Australia

 
Date:  1970's
Time:  Evening.
 
Hello, I was recently re-united with some old friends (now very old) with whom I used to fish many years ago in the Coomera River on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.
 
We saw a UFO at the time, four of us. During our reunion, we chatted about how we had seen this and wondered if anybody else saw it. We did not say anything at the time, as we did not want people to think we were loopy (besides we were not supposed to be in the river).

I have not thought much about it since (1970's) but just Googled and discovered someone in that area had seen a UFO in 2009.

What we saw: We had put our nets in the river and camped on the bank to wait for our catch.

We were lying on the bank and looking up into night sky when I saw three lights which could be described as round like in a security light, the old ones with the huge roundish bulbs.  
 
The 2009 note says he saw orange/red which changed to white. The lights just sat above me and were definitely white. I said to my friends, "can anyone see what I can see"
 
The replies were, yes shudder shudder and there are three lights.

All of a sudden they just zoomed vertically up into the night sky and were gone. I am unsure how long this lasted.

Just thought I would pass this on for what it is worth. Best wishes.

Bright Orange Lights Seen Flying Over Buninyong Golf Club Buninyong Victoria Australia

 
Date:  April 13, 2012
Time:  N/A
 
Hi Brian, my wife and I just witnessed a bright orange light move across the 10th hole of the Buninyong Golf Course and straight in front of our lounge room which faces the course.
 
It moved slowly with no noise and seemed to hover before moving eventually out of sight heading south. It didn't seem very high in the sky, and it seemed to have some shape, but it could have been my eyes playing tricks.
 
Certainly weirdest thing I've ever seen in the sky. There was no wind at all and skies were crystal clear so doubt it could have been a lantern as it moved sideways and almost stop at one point.

My wife is an investigator and I'm a business analyst so we are skeptical, but we could not come up with any logical explanation.
 
I would love to hear if anyone else witnessed this. Cheers.

Huge Brilliant White Oval Shaped UFO Hovers Over The Ground At Loganlea Loan Edinburgh Scotland UK

 
Date:  October 1996
Time:  5:45 a.m.
 
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Oval/circular.
 
Full Description of Event/Sighting: Had been out and about with my cousin in his car as he had not long passed his test and boys being boys, were out all night cruising about.
 
It was when he was heading to drop me off at Logan Lea Loan, we came over the brow of the hill and instantly noticed this bright light (brilliant white) oval shape around the same length as a transit van, and probably as tall just hovering over the 2 in a block flats. Maybe twenty meters above very close.
 
There was no real noise other than a light humming/buzzing sound. As I was the passenger, I rolled down the window and leaned out, as I was trying to focus on a solid object behind the light, but I could not as we got within 15 meters the object slowly started moving north towards Craigentinny Road, at a very slow pace as we followed as if it were toying with us.
 
We continue to follow and its path changes to a northwest direction, basically the same route as Craigentinny Road. By this time, its maybe 15 meters above the 6 in a block tenements. It was starting to speed up, but still less than 30 mph and then when we got the the Findlay Gardens junction, it just vanished.
 
We were not sure if shot up/ landed in the golf course or what. We investigated the golf course and nothing as we were still full of amazement and excitement.
 
We returned the the original location, hoping it may have returned. We were parked in the middle of the street with two of us gazing skyward only to find ourselves blocking a police car that was heading up the street.
 
So we went about telling the officers about what we had witnessed, only to be laughed at. Who cares, we felt very lucky to have witnessed what we did, and still do.
 
It was a pretty busy time for UFOs that 12-18 months, as I was lucky enough to see another interesting object.

Bright Orange Glow Disappears And Reappears Over Buckinghamshire UK

 
Date:  April 8, 2012
Time:  Evening.
 
Hi, my friend and I also saw this bright orange light in the UK in Buckinghamshire on 8th April 2012. Prior to seeing it, the sky lit up twice. The bright orange light wasn't an object as such, but a huge orange semi circle with the straight edge on top, unlike the moon.
 
It was low above several houses, and then suddenly vanished and reappeared on out left, before vanishing again and reappearing in front of us, this time very thin, before vanishing completely.
 
We did not see it travel, but it was very peculiar.

Orange Colored Lights Seen North Of Johannesburg South Africa

 
Date:  First week in January 2012
Time:  Evening.
 
Hi, we viewed clear orange lights in the north of Johannesburg, not anything explained by aircraft (we saw one flying across them) around first week in January 2012.

They slowly moved across the horizon, 3 together with one late one. All of the lights gradually disappeared on the horizon.

We were surprised no-one else saw these. Would be interested in any similar sightings. Strangely we saw almost identical footage on UFO sightings on TV across the world from America to Australia.

Bright Flashing Light Seen Over Maesteg Wales UK

 
Date:  April 3, 2012
Time:  Evening.
 
Hi my name is (name removed). I was on my way home last night and saw one light that looked like a star, but was too low to be one. When we got home, we ran up stairs to get a better view.
 
The object was so close I could see it with binoculars, it was a flashing bright light with blue and red light. At first I thought it was nothing, maybe a plane, but after 10-20 minutes it hadn't moved.
 
I saw this to the west of a town in Wales called Maesteg and a few of my friends had as well. My girlfriend who was with me said she saw.
 
What she described to me as fire works. What struck me as odd was, the fact it had dimmed a few times only to come back a few seconds later.

Brilliant Flashes Coming From Small Over In The Sky Over England Blackpool UK

 
Date:  April 2, 2011
Time:  Evening.
 
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: 5
Shape of Objects: Unknown.
 
Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was sitting at my desk as I do every night catching up on some TV, when I was distracted by a flash, it almost made me jump.

I sit in near darkness and I have a view of my garden and the tiniest corner of a neighbors house. As it’s in my eye line I noticed the flash straight away.
 
I thought the worst, maybe someone was taking pictures or something, but then it happened again about 4-5 minutes apart.
 
By then I was talking to my brother on Skype about this. I ran upstairs to the hallway window to get a broader look, when I noticed the same flash right above the other houses.
 
It was a kind of small light, but it was so intense. It happened about 3 more times in different areas on the sky. I can’t be the only one who spotted this.

Green Lines In The Night Sky Over Brentford West London UK (Possible Explanation For Green Lines Of Light)

 
Date:  April 2, 2012
Time:  Evening
 
I have just seen several green lights in the sky over our garden in Brentford. Most were streaks or lines of green light.
 
All these lines were heading in the same direction and they would suddenly disappear just like a light being switched off.
 
Then would reappear, mostly in the same section of the sky. They didn't appear to be moving.

My feeling is that they are meteors.

Bright Orange Light Flying Over Centurion Pretoria South Africa

 
Date:  April 1, 2012
Time:  8:15 p.m.
 
Hi, both my husband and I saw a bright orange light last night (1 April 2012) moving up into the sky. The light was really bright and quite big. Time = 20h15. The light disappeared behind the clouds as it was quite cloudy. Thanks!

Additional Information:

Hi Brian, we live in Centurion (Pretoria, South Africa).

Wish I could've taken a picture or something! It was really bright and moved fast!

I will definitely be looking out for more sightings. My brother-in-law took some pictures on New Year's eve with about five lights moving around in the atmosphere. If you want to, I can send it?

Huge White Spheres Spotted Over Crouch End North London UK

 
Date:  1995
Time:  Approx: 5:00 a.m.
 
I'm a British woman. I am very skeptical about UFOs, about everything. I had an experience that I think about 'occasionally',  like, every few years. Sometimes, when I mull over it again, I think - why don't I think about this every day?
 
What's wrong with me? This was a very very strange experience. This happened in 1995. I was looking for my lost parrot. I was getting up at that time very early in the morning, at dawn, so as to be ready under certain trees where my parrot was roosting.

I was in a suburb in North London, an area called Crouch End. It was around 5:00 a.m. I was down a small parking area to the side of a block of flats (apartments). I glanced up at the road, 100 yards away, for no particular reason.

I saw, in the sky, moving very, very slowly, and entirely without noise, a huge white sphere, exactly as you describe here. I was mesmerized, by the way it inched in a straight line a short distance before disappearing in amongst some trees.

I noticed it had lights going around it, not
fast, more blinking lights. What struck me at that moment was, oh. This can't be a helicopter. Helicopter blades whizz around, they're very noisy and they go horizontally.
 
My only problem is I have a blank in my visual memory as to exactly where on this thing the lights were. Sometimes I search my mind to try and 'see' again exactly where the lights were - going around the whole body? Going around just the front? I think just the front.

All I know is they were too slow and in the 'wrong' direction.

So, I stared at this thing for 30 seconds. Then it passed and I thought. Oh. I wonder what that was. Then, as I stood reflecting, to my amazement, another two of them, very, very slowly, still absolutely silent, one after the other, following the exact line of the first, each disappearing into the same trees.

Mysterious. Very. What were they? Someone years later said 'air balloons'. Really? At 5:00 a.m? That size? With lights? Three of them?

I've never discussed this episode with anyone. I thought, oh, I won't be believed. I thought - oh - I don't even believe in UFOs.
