Another night, another low-flying triangular UFO. These have been seen in the US at least since the 1970s, so they are unlikely to be spy planes or drones. But what are they? In his book the Grays, Whitley Strieber has a description of a fascinating aircraft called the TR, which is a spy plane. It is actually a blimp, created and deployed back in the seventies. So, is it real? We asked him and got this response: "Fiction, but it shouldn't be. It's a good idea for a close-approach surveillance aircraft and it could be built, but not until battery technology produces lightweight, high power batteries that are the craft's motive power. It's probably 20 years out." Unless, of course, that technology exists somewhere behind the wall of secrecy.

The GOES Satellite takes regular images of Earth from a distance of 22,000 miles. A GOES watcher picked this up. It could be a video artifact, but if so, we couldn't find one like it in the 50 GOES images we searched any more than he could. If it is something near Earth, it's huge.

This cellphone video is entirely authentic, and shows a sky light of significant intensity that suddenly disappears. The phone is held inexpertly because the witness was caught off guard, but the disappearance of the light is clear enough. The problem is, there is no ordinary object in the sky that would do this, not a plane, not the moon, not a star, certainly not a candle lantern, because the light source is far too bright and doesn't flicker.

This is an unusual video. While it's true that fireflies do swarm in swampy areas, if this was indeed taken in November, it would be unusual to see them out in such numbers in the Florida Panhandle. It's also worth remembering that Ed Walters made his UFO videos in this same area, and that a UFO appeared over Gulf Breeze in the Florida Panhandle for many years. Working against this video is the fact that the witness states that he saw the object shoot up into the sky. If so, then how is it that he doesn't show that event, which would, of course, be strongly suggestive of authenticity? As the video ends in a freeze frame, he cannot claim that he just coincidentally cut off the camera at that moment. So where is the rest of it?

The first part of this story reads like a typical sighting of a fleet of Chinese lanterns, but then it gets very strange. What did these people see? Given that there is no released video, it's very hard to tell what the object that slowly rose into the sky and then disappeared may have been.

Such observations probably take place far more often than they are reported.

Unfortunately, without being able to talk to the witness who reported this, it is impossible to determine how accurate the story is, but if it is true, it would certainly not be the first time an encounter between a huge UFO and a military aircraft has taken place. The most famous such incident took place over England in 1957, when Dr. (then Major) Milton Torres was ordered to scramble his fighter and attack a UFO he described as being "the size of an aircraft carrier." When he armed his rockets, it disappeared. To watch Nick Pope's interview of Dr. Torres, click here.

Another UFO sighting report from Argentina. Apparently it's quite active there at this time.
Argentina has been a UFO hotspot similar to Brazil for many years. This local newspaper report says that this is the second UFO reported in the area in a month. The reports are coming from Buenos Aires State near Jachal. Thanks to Scott Corrales and UFO Digest.
This could have been a video of an aircraft moving directly toward the camera, but the witness returned and watched it hovering for another 40 minutes. It would be helpful to see a daylight video of the same spot to be certain that the lights are not on darkened hills, but that said, this appears to be an authentic video of unknown sky lights. What they may be, of course, we cannot speculate, but unknown they almost certainly are.

Unfortunately, there is no video of this incident where two witnesses sitting in a truck at one in the morning observed a group of lights in the sky that appeared to be moving erratically around a dark central object. When the object seemed to drop down into a nearby woods, they fled the scene in the truck.
This video of a group of pink lights could be an unknown object, but it could also be lights on towers or smokestacks. It would be helpful to have another video of the same location taken during the day. It is not candle lanterns.

The person who shot this video is convinced that it is not a lens reflection or lights associated with the oil rig he was on near Gonzales, Texas.

This brief video of a cluster of lights moving over a Missouri highway is probably an authentic unknown. The lights are not balloons or sky lanterns, and probably not an aircraft unless it has been intentionally equipped with illegal lighting in order to perpetrate what would seem to be a very trivial hoax.

Date of Sighting/Encounter (if known): November 22, 2011
Time of Sighting/Encounter (if known): between 2:30 and 3am
Location of Encounter: In my back backyard on the North side of Milwaukee WI USA
Details of Encounter: My dog came and licked my face to wake me sometime between 2:30 and 3 am. He had to go outside to do his business. As I open up my back door and I noticed a pale blue light in the sky I was able to get a closer look and it looked like a rounded out saucer. It was maybe 2000ft up in the sky. It was moving pretty fast maybe several hundred miles per hour. It made a 90 degree turn without slowing down at all and headed east towards lake Michigan. the following day I called the airport that is a few blocks from my house and they said they got some sort of blip on the radar around that time but to them it wasn't anything unusual. I never saw any other reports of witnesses in the news/paper/online

So far MUFON has not investigate this report, and there may not be enough information to do so, but if they do investigate, we will follow up.

This object could be a fragment of a high-fling aircraft such as a landing gear bay door or a piece of a wing, but it could also be something very much more strange. It's an unusual and provocative video.

These objects are not moving like candle lanterns. They are proceeding at exactly the same speed, they are of uniform brightness and not flickering, and unless this is a very good fake, they are genuine unknown objects. They would not be difficult to include in the image using a simple computer graphic program, but the moments of camera shake that take place would be harder to fake. This is possibly imagery of real UFOs.

To describe this formation as a 'triangle with drone' seems fanciful, because we don't know what it is, except that these are very clearly unknown objects in the sky over Norway. It is difficult to believe that the triangular pattern is, for example, a flight of ultralight aircraft, because it is manuevering so precisely that the lights could even be on the corners of a single object. Strong video.
The larger photograph was made by a professional using a 20 minute exposure, so the object was absolutely stationary during that time. He first saw the objects as unusual lights in the sky and trained his camera on them.
Because Antonio Urzi has shot so many clear UFO images, he is always held up to be a hoaxer. But this documentary takes a different view, and offers some compelling evidence to support the notion that his footage is authentic.

The excitement of the children suggests that this is a genuine video. It is a classic cylinder, filmed and taped many times over the past 50 years, but never explained.
This skywatcher has taped UFOs in his area before, but never one quite like this. It's an interesting image. Note the reaction of the dogs.

This one is likely to make the rounds of the internet pretty intensely. Is it an alien...or is it an eggplant or some similar vegetable? Whatever it is, it's hard to believe that the arm and hand shown could have done very much. Still, the story is way out there, and this is the 'Out There' section, so have fun with this one.
This was posted at the beginning of this year, and has never been debunked. It is almost certainly a genuine video, and quite a good one. If you can, watch it full screen. The UFO appears shortly after the plane flies into clouds.

This is almost certainly a fake. At the same time, if it actually happened, the video would have immediately been seized for national security reasons, so the only way it would ever surface publicly is somewhere like YouTube. Still, highly likely a hoax video. The phrase "CNN Breaking News" is the key. The video never appeared on CNN. Also, note the link to a sales point on Ebay for alien themed items.

This flotilla of objects could be balloons, of course. They are typical of similar flotillas taped over Mexico in the 1990s, and it has never been clear exactly what they are.
Daylight UFOs are appearing somewhat more frequently in recent months. This group over Victorville California is typical.
