Another Week, Another UFO Sighting

As commonly as I and people I know are having UFO sightings, it's really a wonder a majority of the world seems to still be on the fence as to whether or not this phenomenon is real.  You may know I had my first daytime UFO sighting last weekend.  Well, that event has already lost its distinction as of yesterday!

Our family spent the afternoon at the public pool in our neighborhood.  Because the skies were basically still chemtrail-free, I wanted to soak up as much sun as I could.  So, between cooling dips and trips down the slide, I spent the better part of the afternoon on my back and absorbing the solar rays.

At one point, I opened my eyes to see a bright point of light floating slowly.  No sooner did I spy it then it flared in brightness and apparent size.  Once I was certain I was spying a UFO and not a plane glinting in the sun, I tapped my wife and said, "Honey, I've got another one!"

Of course, she was sunning her back and by the time she rolled over and could focus on the area of the sky I was pointing to, I'd watched the bright light fade and disappear completely.  Vanished.  Dematerialized.

Obviously, there wasn't time to pull out my nearly-useless camera phone to record the event...and that's alright.  Ultimately, these sightings may prove to be prods of encouragement created solely for me and me alone - a sort of, "Hello, Tim.  Yes, we're really here.  Thought we'd catch you while you were looking.  Keep the faith!"  But even if they are just for me, what sort of citizen journalist would I be if I didn't share the experiences with those who are also looking for validation that they aren't alone in the emerging world view?

One would expect a worldwide phenomenon to hit the small places, too!  UFOs.  They're not just for Hollywood!  Take heart, sisters and brothers.

Below is video I captured of the daytime UFO sighting from last week.  It's not amazing.  The object I saw yesterday was bigger (or maybe closer), brighter, and didn't flash.  It stayed steady, got brighter, then faded away.


 

Significant UFO event over Hollywood

A significant UFO event took place over Hollywood, CA on the night if July 8-9, 2012.  Incredible video was captured showing at least 5 UFOs.  Also documented are the astonished reactions of some young Californians and what appear to be several police helicopters circling and investigating the bright objects.

It stretches the imagination to think such an event could take place directly over Hollywood without several cameras rolling.  Unfortunately, there don't appear to be many other YouTube uploads of the event.  I did find the following, though.

 





The poster of the following video seems to have observed the same event.



And apparently there continue to be sightings in the Hollywood area.  Check out this vid from July 14!

Big Dipper UFO - Similar sighting in Canada

I was just perusing the latest UFO sightings on UFOstalker.com and noticed a report from Nova Scotia that is fairly similar to what I saw and wrote about last night.  The summary of this Canadian report caught my eye, "star like object moves quickly and fades out over 5-10 seconds. Saw 3 in ~1 hour."  What do ya know, I saw a star-like object that moved quickly and faded out over a few seconds!  Here's the report in full:

This happened in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada around the very early hours of June 28. I saw this exact same event happen three times in about 2 hours. I was star gazing as I often do. (aside - I noticed for the first time tonight that one of the stars in the handle of the big dipper is actually two stars that are very close to each other. Cool stuff) Anyway, I saw a ball of white light similar to a star appear and move at something similar to aircraft speed, but over 5 or 10 seconds the light slowly faded out until I couldnt see it anymore. I never actually was staring exactly where it appeared, but it was the motion out of nowhere that caught my eye. I have no idea what it could have been, but I am sure that it was not a star or a planet, because it was moving. It was not like any aircraft I have seen before because it did not have flashing lights(was steady light) and did not appear to make any sound. I do not think it was a sateillite because it was much brighter than any sateillite that I have seen before, and the light faded out slowly and unexpectantly. It travelled in a straight line, but faded out as if it was travelling further away. It happened high in the sky so it is not as if it faded as it headed towards the horizon. The first one I saw was travelling mainly south to north. The second one I saw was only about 60 seconds after the first, and this one was travelling mainly north to south. I came inside to tell my friend about what I saw, and a short while later I went back outside and after about 20 minutes I saw another one do the exact same thing, although this one was much further east in the sky, and was travelling mainly north to south. I was not scared, maybe just a little bit excited at what it could have been. I will be looking for more of these in the future!

After reading this, my first thought was that maybe I should have stayed outside for a while last night to make sure our friends were done with their show.  I may well have missed further activity.

Telescope at Lake Afton Public Observatory

There are more similarities than differences in our accounts which occurred 2,400 miles apart.  That's almost 4,000 kilometers for you Canucks.  The witness describes looking at the Big Dipper just before detailing the sighting.  The object I saw travelled through that very constellation.  The witness describes noticing a two-star system in the handle of the Big Dipper.  I wondered in my post last night if there was a connection to that very binary system, called Mizar.  Furthermore, I related a sighting I had while looking at Mizar through the telescope at a local observatory this past Sunday night. 

Other similarities: The direction of the first object observed by the Canadian witness was generally the same as mine.  Both started bright and seemed to fade over several seconds.  We both had the impression the object we witnessed was heading away from the Earth toward space. 

I've been a firm believer in extraterrestrial craft...well, my whole life, I guess.  Both intuition and logic tell me there's no way we're alone in this Universe and it's highly unlikely we're the most advanced, technologically or spiritually.  However, until recently I've had to rely on faith in the sightings of others.  The direct experience I sought was elusive.  Now, not only have I had three separate direct experiences in less than a month, but I've found what seems to be indirect confirmation that others have seen the same thing. 

I realize there will be holdouts who still believe we're alone on this rock; people who would question my mental health, I'm sure.  But I know what I've seen.  And now I know I'm not the only one to see it.  These are heady days, my friends.

Edit - 10:46am June 29, 2011:
Since posting this report, I've learned of similar sightings in California, Texas, and possibly Alabama.

UFO photographed near Tempe, AZ airport

The following is the account submitted in MUFON case #27642 regarding a UFO spotted close to the ground over Tempe, Arizona on January 20, 2011:

Description: I was sitting in my apartment when I noticed the bright lights through my window. My window looks out west, as I am only a few miles away from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. I see planes come and go all day, as they tend to fly right over me. Therefore, when this object caught my eye, my initial reaction was to coordinate the visible object to a plane. Or at least convince myself it was just a very bright street lamp- I also have a lovely view of a freeway. However, it just didn�t look the same. It stood out. I knew in my heart it was neither a light nor a plane, which is why I couldn�t keep my eye off that �thing� in the sky. It was stationary at first and about the same height as the freeway lights- but something made me keep staring. It then descended, which made me alert. I could still barely see it underneath the bridge of the highway. Because it descended in the direction of the airport, I told myself it was a plane. Yet for some reason, I still couldn�t peel my eyes away from the sky. I went to get my cell phone, and when I looked back up- the object was back up in the air! It was then I ran and got my camera- a Canon Powershot SX20. I zoomed in as much as possible. I noticed it gradually going down to the ground again, only this time it was heading (my left) of the airport. Almost as though it knew I was taking pictures so it went to hide, because it was stationary until my photoshoot began. It was then I fully realized this was no plane- for planes cant fly like that! They cant go down, then back up, and then down to the side! Furthermore, it was extremely quiet- too quiet. I only got a few good pictures because my camera couldn�t keep good focus� but the ones I did get� wow. Unlike anything I have ever witnessed. This was real.

Here are the amazing photos submitted with the report.  Have fun debunking this one, skeptics!  Swamp gas?  Not in Arizona!  Click on each photo to see them at full scale.

This is clearly no object or group of objects I've ever seen.  How about you?  Now, this could be a man-made craft.  I want to explicitly state here that I'm not postulating this is an extraterrestrial craft.  I'm not ruling it out, either.  But I know it's not a helicopter.   Pretty sure it's not three helicopters in formation.  Definitely not a plane.  Flares?  In the words of Alan Boyle, "Get real."

One point of particular interest is that the submitter mentions feeling like the intelligence behind the craft knew it was being photographed since it seemed to take evasive measures as soon as photography began.  This is an aspect of these phenomena that has made its way into many a sighting report lately.  UFO observers and MUFON submitters commonly state this opinion.
