Date: Christmas Eve in either 1981 - 1982Time: 4:00 a.m. Hi Brian, I will relate a sighting I had on Christmas eve in either 1981-82. My first wife and I were visiting friends in Echo Bay, Ontario near Sault Ste Marie for a few days. We were planning on returning to Sudbury the following morning, a 2.5 hour drive. I was reading a book all night sitting on the living room lazy-boy chair in the mid-recline position. Everyone in the household were sound asleep, except me. The time was 4:00 a.m. Suddenly, a powerful spotlight type beam of light shone from outside inward through the bay window curtains located on my right side, the beam hitting the opposing living room wall, tracking from right to left as though searching for something. Then, the chair I was sitting on began to levitate 3 or 4 inches and shaking, the hair on my neck and arms stood erect, but not out of fear. The air smelled like burnt electricity and there was no sound heard. The Christmas tree at the far left corner of the living room whose branches began to move up and down like the flapping wings of a bird, so to speak, seemed to react to some unknown force. Being somewhat spooked by the experience which lasted approximately 15 seconds, I decided to jump off the chair while still in its reclined and levitated position, and walked toward the entrance of the living room where the tree was also situated at the left side. Passing next to the tree, its trunk bent toward me with several branches extended like arms to grab me, so it seemed, as though alive, but I attribute that phenomenon to perhaps magnetism, because as I backed away a few feet, the tree reverted to its normal position, and the closer I returned, it bent toward me. Therefore, I quickly exited the living room and proceeded toward the back of the house into the only ground floor bedroom where my wife and friend were asleep in separate beds. Looking out the window, I observed a small silver/grey saucer shaped craft with a glass type dome on top with a vapour trail behind it, the craft floating approximately 3 feet above the snowy ground at a distance of 20 feet from the window, heading toward a distant ravine 1/4 mile away where I lost sight as it dipped to lower elevation. The craft was no larger than a Volkswagen vehicle, and completely silent. It must have been traveling approximately 30 mph. on it's way to the ravine. My emotions were mixed at that point, feeling in danger and yet amazed. I related my observation to our friends that same morning at breakfast table, and they were not sure what to make of my story. My wife and I hopped into the car after breakfast, but it would not start, even though the battery was strong and after some distributor adjustments, it started roughly and then normalized somewhat. Halfway en-route to Sudbury, the car engine seized, being red hot in color like a tomato, although all the fluids were at their normal levels. We abandoned the vehicle at the nearest gas station, and waited for the next Greyhound bus a few hours later. I ended up selling the vehicle as junk to that same gas station owner, even though the vehicle was in decent shape otherwise. I kind of attribute that mishap with the UFO passing so close to my vehicle the night before, not knowing what effects it may have done to it. Another sighting I had in the mid 1970's north of Sudbury was of a large fiery yellow/orange globe the size of the sun travelling below the cloud ceiling from east to west at speeds in excess of 300 mph. It was tracked by NORAD in Falconbridge and at other stations further west until intercepted by Michigan air force jets near Manitoba, when its trajectory changed from horizontal to vertical flight in a 90 degree turn toward outer space as it evaded the fighter planes' approach, shooting straight out of radar sight at speeds in excess of 15000 mph. Thousands of Sudburians had seen that same globe in broad daylight as reported by the Sudbury Star newspaper. If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at: "sighting@telus.net" with the details of your sighting.

I've spent fifteen years trying to prove just one single UFO crash retrieval case -- ROSWELL -- and I applaud but tremble at Ryan Wood's chutzpah in trying to prove a very large number of them in a single book. However, one thing is certain: Ryan Wood and his father, Dr. Robert Wood, have established themselves most convincingly as a prodigious, thorough, insightful, honest, uncompromising, educated -- and yes, let's use the "B" word -- brilliant team of UFO investigators who are to UFO's what the GOSPEL OF JUDAS team has become to theological research. With MAJIC EYES ONLY, in his solo flight as book author, Ryan shows us all the nuggets -- UFO cases that are contenders for genuine crashes of extraterrestrial technology, and he begins the investigation and dialogue that will lead us to determine one day which of the "ore samples" will prove to be the long lost gold.

Bachelor billionaire Musk
ELON MUSK, 40, the Internet entrepreneur and owner of SpaceX, which aims to be the first private firm to send a cargo craft to the International Space Station, admits he has a case of pre-launch jitters - prior to the pre-dawn launch now set for Saturday, May 19, 2012.
The latest schedule enables the SOYUZ TMA-04M crew to have launched May 15, 2012 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and dock to the orbiting International Space Station a couple of days later.
In an INTERVIEW WITH AFP, Musk described the oft-delayed launch of his company's cargo-loaded Dragon spacecraft as both "EXCITING" and "EXTREMELY DIFFICULT," and expressed confidence in his Space Technologies Corporation (SpaceX) team in California, Florida and Texas.
Dragon approach to ISS
"IT'S JUST TAKING LONGER THAN EXPECTED TO ANALYZE ALL THE DATA," Musk told AFP by telephone. "WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SOFTWARE IS GOING TO MAKE THE RIGHT COMMANDS AND NOT ENDANGER THE SPACE STATION."
SpaceX has experienced delays from the beginning of this year on the need to verify flight software can safely accomplish the Dragon spacecraft's final approach to the space station, a sensitive phase of the mission in which the capsule must be capable of recognizing on-board problems and executing an abort out of the vicinity of the crewed outpost.
Falcon 9 engine test A-OK
"I USUALLY SLEEP WELL BEFORE A LAUNCH... BUT NO, I'M NOT SLEEPING WELL," Musk said with a laugh when asked if he was nervous this time around but refused to lay precise odds on Dragon's success, saying it was "PROBABLY MORE THAN 50 PERCENT" -- and pledging to try again should the launch fail. "It's exciting and... it's an extremely difficult task, and we want it to succeed at the first try," he said.
"NASA DOES FEEL PRETTY GOOD ABOUT IT AND WE FEEL PRETTY GOOD ABOUT IT," he said, though cautioning: "YOU CAN'T SIMULATE THE ISS ON THE GROUND."
President Obama supports SpaceX
The Falcon 9 rocket itself has launched twice, ever. There is data floating around in the space community for decades now that the chances of failure for a new rocket is about one in three, notes space journalist JOHN KELLY AT "FLORIDA TODAY". Failure will result is probable backlash among traditionalists on Capitol Hill who do not readily embrace the private sector effort in space.
Kelly advises readers, "If SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft, on just its second orbital flight and its first trying to chase and meet up with the space station, docks at the orbiting outpost, the achievement could be the catalyst for a technical and political game-changer."
Animated Dragon landing on Mars
The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon is new space hardware. The launch, orbital rendezvous and docking, undocking and safe return to Earth will make a historic milestone in space history. Such success will certainly earn Elon Musk much more than a SINGLE GOOD NIGHT REST as the real "'IRON MAN'" continues his unique multi-year trek to Mars.

UFO SIGHTING IN HIGH POINT, NORTH CAROLINA ON AUGUST 17TH 2013 - LIGHT BLUE BALL OF LIGHT THAT FLASHED LIKE A STROBE
Last night we drove home from Western NC. It rained the entire trip. I say this to point out that we drove in the rain for two and a half hours and never saw one flash of lightning nor did we hear a single thunderclap. As we were driving on Skeet Club road we saw a round or ball shaped object flash very brightly over the roadway three times. It was a very soft light blue color and it was right over the roadway about tree top level or, a little less. It appeared to be about fifteen feet across with fuzzy edges, not clearly defined. It flashed very brightly, like the flash from a camera. It flashed two times rapidly, then a second or two went by and it flashed again. The first two times it flashed it was right in front of the car and the last time it flashed it was right over the car. When it flashed the first two times I saw it's shape as being round. But, the edges were not clearly defined. It was just a light blue, very bright flashing object. I didn't see anything unusual before the first flash. What I saw was two very bright flashes and then a blue object that rapidly faded out. Then the third flash that was right over us so, we didn't see anything but the flash due to the roof of the car blocking our possible view of anything that might have been there. If I had time I would have tried to stop the car rather than drive under it but, it all happened very rapidly and I never had time to react. I suppose it could have been lightning and I started not to report it except that as far as I know there was no lightning associated with last night's rain. It was cool all day with a light to moderate rain all day. There is no missing time or any other details to report. Also, it was perfectly silent. We heard no sounds whatsoever.

On the night of August 13-14, 1956, radar operators at two military bases in the east of England repeatedly tracked single and multiple objects which displayed high speed, as well as rapid changes of speed and direction. Two jet interceptors were sent up, and were able to see and track them in a brief series of maneuvers. According to official U.S. Air Force reports, the sightings could not be explained by radar malfunction or by unusual weather.IIt began at 9:30 p.m. when Airman 2nd Class John Vaccare, of the U.S. Air Force at RAF Bentwaters, tracked one UFO on his Ground Controlled Approach radar (type AN/MPN-11A) as it flew 40-50 miles (65 to 80 km.) in 30 seconds, i.e. 4,800 to 6,000 mph (7,500 to 9,500 km./hr.).A few minutes later Vaccare reported to T/Sergeant L. Whenry that a group of 12 to 15 unidentified targets was tracked from 8 miles (13 km.) southwest of Bentwaters to 40 miles (65 km.) northeast, at which time they "appeared to converge into one very large object, according to the size of the blip on the radar scope, which seemed to be several times larger than a B-36 aircraft [the largest operational bomber in history, with a wingspan of 230 feet or 70 m.]." The single large blip stopped twice for several minutes while being tracked, before flying off the scope.At 10 p.m., a single unidentified target was tracked from Bentwaters as it covered 55 miles (90 km.) in just 16 seconds. This works out to over 12,000 mph (19,000 km./hr.).Then, at 10:55 p.m., the Bentwaters GCA radar picked up an unidentified target on the same east-to-west course as the previous one, at an apparent speed of "2,000 to 4,000 mph" (3,200 to 6,400 km./hr.). Someone in the Bentwaters control tower reported seeing "a bright light passing over the field from east to west at about 4,000 feet [1,200 m.]." At about the same time, the pilot of a C-47 twin-engine military transport plane over Bentwaters said, "a bright light streaked under my aircraft travelling east to west at terrific speed." All three reports coincided.Soon after, radars at Bentwaters and RAF Lakenheath reported a stationary object 20-25 miles (32-40 km.) southwest of the latter base. It suddenly began moving north at 400 to 600 mph (650 to 1,000 km./hr.), but "there was no build-up to this speed - it was constant from the second it started to move until it stopped." It made several abrupt changes of direction without appearing to slow for its turns. IIAround 11:30 p.m., the RAF launched a deHavilland Venom jet interceptor, from RAF Waterbeach. According to the U.S. Air Force UFO report:"Pilot advised he had a bright white light in sight and would investigate. At 13 miles [20 km.] west he reported loss of target and white light. Lakenheath (radar) vectored him to a target 10 miles [16 km.] east of Lakenheath and pilot advised (that) target was on his radar and was 'locking on.' Pilot then reported he had lost target on his radar."Lakenheath GCA reports that as the Venom passed the target on radar, the target began a tail chase of the friendly fighter. Radar requested pilot acknowledge this chase. Pilot acknowledged and stated he would try to circle and get behind the target. Pilot advised he was unable to 'shake' the target off his tail and requested assistance."One additional Venom was scrambled from RAF station. Original pilot stated: 'Clearest target I have ever seen on radar."The following conversation between the two Venom fighter pilots was heard by the Lakenheath watch supervisor:Pilot #2 - "Did you see anything?"Pilot #1 - "I saw something, but I'll be damned if I know what it was."Pilot #2 - "What happened?"Pilot #1 - "He - or it - got behind me and I did everything I could to get behind him and I couldn't. It's the damndest thing I've ever seen."The 1969 report by the Air Force-funded study at the University of Colorado under Dr. Edward U. Condon concluded:"In summary, this is the most puzzling and unusual case in the radar-visual files. The apparent rational, intelligent behavior of the UFO suggests a mechanical device of unknown origin as the most probable explanation of this sighting. However, in view of the inevitable fallibility of witnesses, more conventional explanations of this report cannot be entirely ruled out."UFOBevy On FacebookCome Join the discussion

MARCH 10, 2013 - UNITED KINGDOM - A story featured at Keighley News about a flying strange ball of light resulted a lot of responses from online readers. The news has received a number of hits since it was published online and several readers have provided possible explanations about the apparent UFO sighting.
The news agency also received reports of other UFO PHENOMENA that were witnessed across the skies of Keighley area that took place few years ago.
A couple of weeks back, theatre nurse Jeanette Bray presented a picture showing a burning object moving across the sky. He managed to use her mobile phone for the image. On the very the same night, there were also reports of a meteor that broke up in flames over Chelyabinsk, Russian that caused injuries to around a thousand people.
Another report of UFO sighting came from Keighley worker Nicholas Andrews who claimed that he saw a rocket moving at a very fast speed from right to left five years ago. He added that it went up at around 20 or 30 degrees angle. He described that it looked like the object had come from between Haworth and Oxenhope. It joined the stars before it disappeared.
Another UFO sighting took place in 2010 New Year's Day, near Cononley. An off-duty policeman spotted a squashed ball-like object with very bright orange light moving above the sky of Keighley going to the village. It then turned left going to Cowling and the Lancashire border before moving up and disappeared. - KEIGHLEY NEWS.

UFO SIGHTING IN SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA ON AUGUST 31ST 2013 - AT NIGHT COVERED BY THE CLOUDS BUT CAN SEE THE LIGHT THROUGH IT AND THERE WERE 5 BALLS OF LIGHT MOVING IN A UI was out side on the balcony of my grandmas apartment listening to music on my phone and I was looking up at the sky and that's when I spotted the 5 balls of light close together just moving in a half u and would stop in about a minute. and so I thought it was lightning in the clouds but I stopped to think they were lightning when they stopped without moving for a minute and repeatedly moved in a half u. I called my friend and mom to tell her what was happening but I ran out of battery so I went inside to charge my phone and by the time I went back out the lights were spread out in a half circle and they went in different directions so fast I then was really sure that that was not an aircraft of any kind because I don't think we have anything that can move out that fast in a blink of an eye. I was kinda really freaked out by it when they suddenly took off that I scraped my elbow against the wall. And I don't have any recording of the phenomenon I saw because it was really dark outside and the 5 balls of light wasn't that bright either. Right after I witnessed that I for sure believe that there is something else out there.2013 SIGHTING REPORT(via MUFON.com)Learn about: an amazing NASA UFO Sighting Video and Blatant Cover-Up.Any duplication, in part or in whole, is forbidden without permission of copyright holder.
