RAAF has no plans to seek car-sized UFO
An unidentified flying object much bigger then a family car" is lying at the
bottom of Encounter Bay Victor Harbor, after plummeting to earth soon after
midday on Saturday.
The object, unofficially logged as a meteorite by the RAAF base at Edinburgh,
was seen by dozens of people from as far south as post MacDonnell in the
South-East and south-Western Victoria.
Senior Constable G.A. Clemow, of Beachport, said he and several other Beachport
people had seen a large, smoke-colored vapor trail left by the object as it
speed past at cloud height.
The trail had taken more then five minutes to begin dispersing. Sen Const
Clemow said a thornleigh farmer Mr.Neil Sutherland, had told him the object
looked like a rocket, with a propeller-like device at the rear, fins and a
fair bit of red paint.
Mr.Sutherland had described the fast-moving tube as much bigger then a
family car.
Beachport resident Mr Gary Chambers said he had seen the object for only a
few seconds as it came down. It looked like a falling star, but in broad
daylight, Mr Chambers said it was very high up I thought it burned up above
the horizon.
Mr George Thorn, of Victor Harbor said his wife had seen the object falling
towards the sea. Moments later, though binoculars, he had seen what he thought
at the time to be a very large red and white boat bobbing up and down in the
heavy swell, about five kilometres offshore. It had sunk monents later and
three boats found nothing.
Police and RAAF Officials said they knew of no plans to look for the object,
lying in at least 20 fathoms of water. A department spokesman in Adelaide said
no RAAF Hercules had reported anything and there was no sighting on any radar
screens. He said the department would investigate but he knew only what had
been reported. He said he was curious about a witness who described the object
as looking like a "cruise missile."
What does a cruise missile look like? I work in defence I've never seen one,
he said as for the chance that the object was an extraerrestrial that not show
up on radar, the spokesman said with a chuckle: "There's a possibility it could
be anything, if in fact there is something, but at the moment we know nothing."

Saw one gigantic 150 meter long floating object:
It was on monday evening, April 17, that Mr. Karl Axelsson from Brunflo had his
most remarkable experience of his life. When Mr.Axelsson was driving his
mother-in-law home, they observed a strange light phenomenon in the hazy
evening.
Mr. Axelsson returned later to the sighting location with his binoculars.
What he saw was so sensational that he is still really upset when he re-
tells the story.
Right over one hill, Sheepskin hill, was a gigantic floating object, about
150 meters long. The whole object was divided into sections and looked like a
lighted cement block. At the top of the object were two searchlights
rotating like a lighthouse.
He observed the object for seven hours. During this time he made many
interesting observations. At 21:45 was the regular lin-flight from Stocholm
to Froson-Ostersund airport. Right before the plane appeared, the object
seemed to pump out steam and when the plane passed, it was coated in a cloud.
On two further occasions, aircraft were passing, but at this time the light was
closed, so as not to be discovered. At one time during the remarkable
observation, Mr.Axelsson, was really scared. He said: "Both rotating
searchlights swept in an enormous arc. When the strong light was near me, I was
quite blinded. Once one of the searchlights beamed against me and my car. It
was a frightening feeling.
The cone of light was formed as an endless corridor. Inside the corridor, one
was not blinded, but became aware of a strong, squared shining light.
Mr.Axelsson, then jumped out of his car and ran home, and telephone two of his
workmates. One of them, Mr.Hakan Forslund, also engeged in the UFO studies,
said: "When we went up to the sighting area, the object had changed its
position and was now floating over the Lockne sea. I can agree with
Mr.Axelsson, description. One of the things I noticed was that the
searchlight beam from the object was much stronger then the foglight from the
Lockne factory.
During the observation time, the object changed position four times.
( During one occasion, two small objects left the larger one. One of them
circled over Grytans range.)
We were at most five who observed the object at the same time. I know others
who saw the object, but they don't like to tell anything about the sighting.
From that evening on, there were other reports of a similar sighting of the
object in about the same location.

Mr.Philip Mantle, an investigator for UFO sightings said: A woman from
Bradford who was travelling home along the Bradford/Wakefield road around 8:30
P.M. on March 24, she saw a large circular shaped object with multicoloured
lights in the skies over Morley.
She said: She saw a row of lights. She and her husband were looking towards
leeds when they saw the unidentified object and they pulled into a layby
near the Tingley Working Men's Club to observe it further.
The object appeared to be moving towards leeds and was about two or three
miles away and a number of other people in cars pulled into the layby to
look at the object too. Mr.Mantle is with the Yorkshire UFO Society and he
would like to know if any one saw this large object if so then call Mr. Mantle

A Bournemouth man is trying to confirm his UFO sighting at West Howe.
Mr. Peter Charman was out walking his dogs in Paddington Grove late at
night when his gaze was drawn by a strange light in the sky.
"It was moving slowly but I couldn't see any definite outline -like a
sparkler that kept going on and off," he said. "It was my firt UFO sighting."
"It lasted for about two or three minutes and was flying at 2,000-3,000
feet," added Mr. Charman, a coach driver who lives in the Grove.
But he's not claiming the mystery night-flyer was an extra-terrestrial
starship.
"It was an unidentified flying object - UFO is not necessarily synonymous
with spaceships," he explained. "So I don't think I'll be carrying any
little green men on my coach!"
He is appealing for anyone who saw the incident, on Tuesday (June 17) at 11
p.m., to contact him on Bournemouth 575875.
Hurn Airport had no reports of sightings on that date, they said.

READING pensioner Peter Littlewood is convinced he saw an unidentified flying
object hovering above the town yesterday. Mr. Littlewood, aged 62, is so sure
the jumbo jet-sized object was a UFO he wants to get in touch with experts
and have his sighting recorded.
He said: "I was driving up Peppard Road when I noticed an object in the sky,
in between the two rows of lime trees.
"It was stationary and remained in the air until the leaves of the trees
obscured it from my view.
"I parked in Moss Close and scanned the sky but all I could see was a thin
vapour trail which I think came from an aeroplane.
"I am positive it was not a hot air baloon or an airship. It was silver
colored, shaped like a hamburger.

The hills of the Squamish Valley are alive--with something.
Weird, UFO-like lights have been sighted at least three times dancing around
the Stawamus Chief mountain. And a fiery crash was also sighted near Whistler's
Blackcomb Mountain.
Late Saturday, more than a dozen wide-eyed watchers were treated to a cliffside
spectacular around Stawamus Chief.
"There were two bright lights right on the face of the Chief," said Fred
Bevilacqua, 38.
"One shot down really fast and disappeared. Another turned and turned up into
the sky until you couldn't see it anymore."
Squamish carpenter Ken Granger was also blinded by the lights.
"There was one large amber light in the sky. A smaller light came down onto
the Chief. But then it started going up diagonally across the side. It went
around the corner and disappeared."
On June 27, several residents of Squamish's Valley-cliff area saw two small
lights and a large light travelling very fast in a northeast direction.
And June 13, Greg Stoddard and Sam James of Whistler saw what looked like a
meteor crashing behind *_Blackcomb Mountain.
"It was a small spherical fireball that glowed white in the centre rimmed by
blue and trailing a smoky white trail," said Stoddard.
The numerous sightings have been reported to RCMP, who have passed it on to
authorities in Ottawa.

Buenos Aires, March 24, 1986 (EEE)-Scared Argentine farmers from the area of
Corrientes province pordering with paraguay, claimed to have "talked" with the
occupants of a "Flying Saucer" that landed there, it was reported today in
Buenos Aires.
One of them, Rito Melgarejo, told the Telam news agency that he saw how the
"UFO descended and biinded him with its strong lights."
Two of its occupant came out, they looked like small Martians. They spoke to
me in a language I didn't understand, and signalled me, said the frightened
worker.
I told them I couldn't understand them and went away. When I turned around
they were gone, said Melgarejo, in an account that was corroborated by other
local residents.
Confessing he still has the headache he got since he spoke with the occupants
four days ago, he described them as small, wearing black, tight fitting
clothes. Telam said that strange traces were found at the spot, such as
burned grass in a 6 meter circle, and the remains of an eel that had not
decomposed.

SPECTACULAR EVENT TRANSMITTED DIRECTLY BY A RADIO STATION -
UFO FLEET LANDED IN FRONT OF WITNESSES
Cordoba, Argentina, March 13 (AFP) - Four UFOs landed in the early hours of
this morning in a hilly area of Cordoba province, and many witnesses are on the
spot watching the phenomenon, which is being transmitted directly by a local
radio station.
The UFOs "have a big white light on one side and a red one on the other side,"
said the reporter who went to the landing place. The Cordoba radio station
(located 710 kilometers to the north of Buenoa Aires) interrupted its program
at 03.10 GMT to transmit the news and describe "enormous saucers with intense
red and white lights that came out of its windows."
A few minutes later a direct transmission was made from the La Cruz hill, which
is located some 5 kilometers from the Uritorco hill (160 kilometers NW of
Cordoba) where the UFOs landed.
A reporter said that one of the objects "took off and approached the place
where the group of observers was, scaring us a bit." He also added that the
craft remained "motionless for several hours." The transmission continued at
11.15 GMT and the reporter said that a group formed by several UFO fans, three
photographers and a nurse were accompanying him.

IT CROSSED THE FIELD AT AN ALTITUDE OF LESS THAN 30 METERS -
A UFO PARADED IN FRONT OF 200 PEOPLE WHO WERE WATCHING
A FOOTBALL GAME
Lima, March 13 (AFP) - The sudden appearance of a UFO last night stopped a
football game that was being played in a stadium of the Peruvian city of
Talara, 1,070 kilometers north of lima, according to reports received today.
The strange ship few over the field at an altitude of less than 30 meters above
the ground, and was seen by some 200 people in the "Petroperu" stadium. "We
could clearly see that strong red and green light beams were coming out of its
front. It also irradiated a yellow light that turned into day the area it few
over," said Donaldo Duque, referee of the game that was being played between
the local teams Alamo and Casa Gin.
The UFOs appeared around 8.05 PM on Wednesday night. According to some
witnesses, the phenomenon lasted no more than 10 seconds.
This appearance is added to the report that four "flying saucers" landed
Wednesday morning in a hilly area of Cordoba province, in Argentina, an event
that was witnessed by many people. The spectacular landing was transmitted
directly by a radio station from Cordoba, whose reporters went there after
being alerted by the local residents.
The transmission described the ships as "enormous saucers with intense red and
white lights coming out of its windows."
The reporter describing the spectacular event added that one of the objects
took off and approached the place where the observers were, scaring them. Then
UFOs remained motionless for several hours.

Mr. John Garnsey, a local magistrate, said: "It was most weird. I thought it

"It seemed to discharge a rocket from it then disappeared across the horizon."
Seventeen witnesses at the party watched the UFO - and Mr. Garnsey insisted:
"We hadn't been drinking!"
His wife Jennifer said: "It was traveling slowly across the sky. All of a
sudden another bright light like a rocket flashed from it.
"It was completely silent. We thought it might be an aircraft or a helicopter,

The British UFO Research Association is to investigate the sighting last night
of a motionless flashing object in Scunthorpe's northern skies. It was
spotted just after midnight at about 15 degrees above the horizon. Observers in
Messingham said it was flashing approximately once every second and remained in
the same place for around 10 minutes before slowly moving off to the east.
Today, the national secretary of BUFORA, Mr. Les Sallis, based in Hull, said he
would investigate the sighting. Checks with other organizations, such as the
RAF, might reveal the cause of the flashing light, but it was too early to say.
A sighting over Winterton two months ago turned out to be a weather balloon.
Anyone in the area who spotted the mysterious flashing light should contact the
Scunthorpe Evening Telegraph on 843421.

Mr. James Perry, of 32 Princes Road, Rhyl, saw a large rectangular object, with
flashing lights, which moved slowly across the sky on Thursday evening and
other people in the area have reported similar sightings.
"It was traveling very slowly in a straight line," he said. "There were lights
that looked like windows, but it wasn't like a plane. There was no sound or
hazard lights like you would see on a plane."
Mr. Perry watched the plane from another window and the lights change and
started flashing. "They looked like disco lights," he added.
"I have always been rather sceptical about UFO's, but I have no idea what this
could be," he said.

Fourteen-year-old Kingsley Wiggin claims to have sighted an unidentified flying
object hovering over Skipton's Rockwood estate earlier this month.
Kingsley, who lives in the town's West Bank Road, says he was on his morning
newspaper round, when he saw an object which glowed very brightly: "about two
seconds rather like a very bright star."
He says the shape of the object was unclear, but he is sure that it was not an
aeroplane: "or anything else I could think of."
Kingsley saw the object at about 7:35 a.m. on September 4, but when he later
returned with his father, the object had disappeared.

A village near Daventry has been singled out by six eye witnesses as the focal
point for the town's extraordinary UFO mystery.
They all claim to have seen unexplained objects heading towards Preston Capes -
or hovering over the village itself.
The mystery began a fortnight ago when two fishermen saw six UFOs early one
morning over the Daventry County Park. The objects disappeared in the
direction of Preston Capes.
A week later, company director Pauline Dunn and husand Stanley claim they saw
brilliant lights in the sky from their Staverton home. Again, the objects were
going towards Preston Capes.
This week, retired couple Daphne and Edward Underhill say they saw what
appeared to be a huge, glowing UFO in the sky in the area of Preston Capes.
They believe it could have been a spaceship.
"We were getting ready to go to bed when my husband called me over to look out
of the bedroom window," says Mrs. Underhill, of Central Avenue, Woodford
Halse.
"We saw a great big object in the sky which had an orange or red look about it.
It was fairly high and we stood there for about 20 minutes looking at it," she
adds.
"Part of it broke off from the rest and went across the sky in the direction of
Preston Capes. It was circular, but the part which came away was jagged," adds
Mrs. Underhill.
She says it was definitely not an aeroplane because it was moving too fast.
she says it disappeared for a while but returned several minutes later.
"I have no idea what it was. People say about these things, but if you talk
about them, they think you are queer," adds Mrs. Underhill.
"My husband didn't believe in UFOs until he saw this and was absolutely
astonished. It makes you think - seeing is believing.
"If anybody else had told me they'd seen something, I wouldn't have believe
them. But when you have seen it yourself, it makes you realize," adds Mrs.
Underhill, who says her sighting was around the same time as that of the
fisherman.

Territory Authorities are baffled by last night's sighting in three different
centres of a mystery object in the Top End sky.
Humpty Doo residents, Rick and Moya Trippe, were driving home along the Stuart
Highway about 10:20 pm when they noticed an object with a flaming orange tail
moving towards the ground at a 45 degree angle.
A short time later Groote Eylandt and Roper River police reported sightings of
a mystery light over the Katherine region.
To add to the intrigue, Katherine's power supply suddenly cut out late last
night and there were reported disruptions to phone lines in the town.
The hour long disruption was reported to have been caused by an earthing
problem.
The weather bureau and Aviation Department can give no explanation.
There were no scheduled flights over the area and the bureau reported no
unusual weather phenomenon.

A BARNSLEY man is recovering after a close encounter with a flying saucer!
Mr. Joh Brook fled in fright after the UFO turned a blinding white fluorescent
type beam on him. Mr. Brook, of Berby Street, Barnsley, felt a tingling
sensation throughout his body for the few seconds he was transfixed by the
light coming from beneath the oval shaped, 60 feet wide object.
He has spoken for the first time this week about the experience which left him
ashen-faced. The UFO was hovering at a height of about 50 feet in the night
sky somewhere in the direction of the Co-op Dairy in Summer Lane. The object
had flashing red and purple lights on its side.
Mr. Brook, an unemployed technical illustrator, said the close encounter took
place at about 10:50 p.m. on a recent Friday.
He told the Chronicle: "I was on my way home from the pub when I saw the object
in the sky. From where I was standing, it looked as though it was spinning on
it axis. Suddenly, this bright white light with a fluorescent tint shone down
on me. I had to close my eyes, it was so bright.
"I felt this tingling sensation all over and through my body and the hairs on
the back of my neck stood on end.
"I just turned and ran as fast as I could towards home. I know that people
will suggest that either I was drunk or just another nutter but I had only
drunk about three pints that night because I am unemployed and that was all I
could afford."
When Mr. Brook got home, he and his wife Josephine watched the UFO from their
garden before it disappeared. Mrs. Brook said: "When John got home he was out
of breath and his face was as white as a sheet. I have known him for about six
years and I have never seen him so frightened."
This was the third time that Mr. Brook has had an encounter with a UFO. His
first sighting was in the early 1970s and the second, which took place last
year while he was with his neighbour, Mr. Richard Shirt, was reported to the
Royal Air Force.

The matter has been reported to UFO-Studies Investigations, an amateur
organization funded by British Aerospace, and the sightings are being
investigated.
Mr. John Hurley, of the Midland branch of the organization said: "Ninety-five
per cent of all sightings can be explained away after investigation as an
aircraft an airship, balloon, helicopter or even a bright star, but not in this
case."
He added: "Birmingham airport said they spotted something on the radar."

A Forest Row woman still can not believe her eyes after sighting what she can
only describe as a UFO.
Last Thursday evening just after midnight Mrs. Penny Crowder was leaving Ursula
and Tom Scratchly's house in Post Horn Lane, Forest Row. Before getting into
her car Mrs. Crowder looked up at the clear night sky and saw a glowing orange
ball with a pale orange aura surrounding it move across the sky from west over
the Royal Ashdown golf course.
Thinking she might be imagining things she called out to her friend Penny and
they walked up the lane to get a better view. The two women were so astounded
that they asked Penny's husband Tom to confirm what they were seeing.
"It was a fiery colour and looked as though it was lit up in some way." said
Mrs. Crowder. "We were just incredulous, you couldn't relate it to anything
because you had never seen anything like it," she said.
The three stood watching the UFO for about ten minutes as it progressed
noiselessly to the east and out of sight.
Looking for a rational explana-tion for what they had witnessed, they
telephoned flight control at Gatwick. Gatwick said nothing had showed up on
radar but asked them to file a detailed description and a diagram.
They considered all the other possibilities, a hot air balloon, a satellite,
but none of these fitted the description of what they had seen. They sat and
talked until three in the morning about the strange fiery object.
"It gave you an eery feeling as it came straight towards you" said Mrs.
Crowder, who has never before spent time puzzling over the arguments for and
against the existence of UFOs. "When you started thinking about it you got a
bit frightened," she said,"I had the spooks all a the way home."
Mrs. Crowder is not the first to be "spooked" by ball-shaped objects flying
over the Ashdown Forest. In the late 1970s a spate of sightings over the forest
exactly match the description of what Mrs. Crowder and the Scratchlys saw last
Thursday evening.
In April 1978 local police launched a search of the area after a Nutley woman
saw what she called a "ball of fire" hurtle past her window. She then saw bits
break off the object and fall directly on to the Forest. At least six people
in the Forest witnessed it, and on that night firemen were called to put out
fires in two areas of the forest.
News in Focus would be interested to hear from anyone else who saw the Thursday
night fireball.

CHILE: UFO BLOWS ROOFS OFF SIX HOUSES
Santiago, Chile (EFE) -- A UFO in the form of a blue cloud "sucked up" the
roofs of six homes in a neighborhood of the South Zone of Santiago in the early
morning hours last Sunday.
The rest of the roofs, chimnies, and electrical cables remained scattered in
turn, to each of the houses.
The neighbors, according to an acount that was published today in the
newspaper, THE THIRD, said that at 2 a.m. on Sunday, they felt as if there was
a very strong wind, or an earthquake. At the same time, everything lit up in a
bright blue for 30 seconds.
"It was a force that threw everything up," declared Patricia de Salvo, one of
those affected in their home by the strange phenomenon.
The Weather Bureau added that it (the phenomenon) could not be con- sidered as
a tornado, neither a hurricane, because these phenomena affect entire cities.
The neighbors Juan Lagos and Enrique Ceron described the phenomenon as a "blue
cloud" that passed over, leaving this devastating effect to the roofs of their
houses and their clarified it (the blue cloud) as an apparent "UFO."

LADIES GOING HOME FROM BINGO SAW "SPACESHIP" NEAR YSANE VILLAGE
"None of us has seen anything like that before. We were very upset and it was
difficult to sleep that night."
It is Dagny Stonsebro from Solvesborg telling the story. On Thursday evening,
she and four girl friends were on the way home from a bingo evening in
Karlshamn.
Near Ysane, they observed a shining light in the heavens. At a distance, it
looked like a big star. But it changed form when it came nearer. "We felt
observed and pursued. It was quite unpleasant," said Mrs. Stonesebro. The
time was some minutes after 10:30 when the ladies first observed the
phenomenon. It passed very quickly through the sky, went back and circled
around.
"The object was orange and the color glowed. The body was oval-shaped and
appeared to be of metal. When we approached the BP gas station, I estimate
that the object was about 100 meters away and perhaps 50 meters high. It
disappeared then behind the trees. But later, it was observed in the village
of Falkvik and was described as elongated, said Dagny Stonsebro.
"One of my girlfriends could observe the object right to the village of
Mjallby, about 5 kilometers away, where she lives. I don't know what it was,
she said, but it was absolutely not an airplane."
From the airfield F13 in Kallinge weather station, they suspected it could be
from the big NATO manuever outside Denmark. Perhaps some shining light.
