This group of objects is extremely similar to objects videoed in Carmichael, California two days ago. They are equally difficult to explain, also.

This video shows an unusual cloud flashing past an airliner at altitude, moving extremely fast, then includes a clip of a similar object taped in China in 2008. Interesting, indeed. If UFOs are commonly cloaked to appear as clouds, they could be anywhere.

Similar clusters of objects have been reported over Mexico and Poland in recent years. What they are is unknown.

This seems to happen on a regular basis. Officials said it could have been a floating lantern or a balloon. Officially.

An object strikingly similar to what appears here was taped for years over Gulf Breeze, Florida. Whitley and Anne Strieber witnessed it personally while in Gulf Breeze in 1998.

This is probably a video of a real object. Apparently it remained stationary over the area for some time. We refer only to the first clip. The later clips have already appeared on Out There.

This is may be a kite or some sort of advanced aircraft, perhaps an experimental Chinese jet. If it's a spy plane from another country, it's taking quite a chance to appear so openly over Chinese territory.

An OpenMinds TV crew photographs an unusual object over Mexico City. The photographs were taken with professional equipment and at a professional level of skill. They depict something that is defintley unusual, and that eventually disappears in a way that no normal object could. This is an outstanding UFO video. Graded A.

On August 3 we ran the story of a BBC reported who'd had a spectacular UFO encounter. Now another reporter has come forward to describe her own encounter a few days before in the same area. It's exciting that the news media are taking both stories at face value, instead of ridiculing them. Also interesting that reporters would suddenly start having major encounters like these.

It used to be rare for skywatchers to actually see a UFO, but it is becoming increasingly common. In this case, the report claims that the group was approached as close as 500 feet by two objects.

This must be a CGI effect, but we have sent it along to our video experts anyway. If it isn't, we'll certainly let you know.

Quite an ambitious, interesting analysis.

In January of 2010, an object appeared over Newfoundland that appeared to be a rocket or missile. It was investigated by Canadian authorities and declared an unknown. This object videotaped yesterday in China seems strikingly similar. To see our story about the Newfoundland rocket, click here.

This object flashed quite dramatically. It doesn't appear to be a known object and the video is likley not a CGi effect.

This creature has the claws of a badger, but its head has the structure of a dog's and it has a long tail. It was discovered dead on a road in Minnesota.

This story is remarkable for two reasons: first, that it is there at all; second that the BBC reporters accept the story and report it objectively. Timothy Good offers a very intelligent commentary after the report. Altogether, an excellent story.

The farmer whose field received this gorgeous formation threatened to spray people entering it. He has harvested the field. Ah, life on a falling world, such a delight. Will the angels catch YOU in time?

This object has been dismissed as a LED kite, but these new videos make that less clear. For one thing, wind velocities were low over Sao Paolo on July 23. Were they high enough to keep a large rotating kite fitted with lights and batteries aloft? Unfortunately, without knowing the weight of the kite, it's impossible to be certain. Perhaps somebody will come forward with a definitive explanation. However, it never carries out any manuevers that couldn't be done by a kite, so, until proven otherwise, this will continue to be our assumption here.

Another YouTube video has appeared of a magnetic child. There is no authoritative study of why this is happening, but it appears to be an unusual effect, so far without explanation. Or are the objects simply being glued to the kids? Anybody who has seen this effect personally, or is magentic, is encouraged to write whitley@strieber.com. We are eager to study this.

In June Peter Lindberg of the Ocean Explorer found an unusual object 285 feet down on the floor of the Baltic Sea. Now additional images show a clear skidmark behind the object. So what is it? The skidmark would suggest that it was once seaborne, and that it was moving fast when it struck the bottom. Is it, perhaps, a crashed Nazi secret aircraft? They were working on flying wings and even more exotic forms during the war, and some say VERY exotic forms. Or could it be a crashed spacecraft from another world? Lindberg has said, "...during my 18 years as a professional I have never seen anything like this." But he has no plans, he claims, to dive the wreck because his company seeks sunken treasure, not sunken UFOs. 

Or does he? He hasn't published the precise location of the wreck and if it was an alien spacecraft it would, obviously, be the most valuable object ever found in the history of the world. So, will we hear more? Let's hope it won't be ignored or disappear into some secret vault. Out There's bet is on a crashed Nazi secret weapon, but you never know...

Vancouver UFO Skywatch maintains a live UFO skywatch on UStream, which captured this object crossing the sky, then suddenly vanishing. It could be a high altitiude meteor skimming the atmosphere, or even a high-flying aircraft of some sort, but it is most likely an unknown.

This could well be a CGI effect, but there is also a blurry object overtaking a black car on the road in the bottom of the frame that probably isn't, so we are including this on the off chance that there might be somethng to it.

Obviously not a hoax. No zoom, either but it's clear enough that the object, which is rapidly changing color, is not a star. It is an unknown, and similar to an object that appeared for many years over Gulf Breeze, Florida.

Thanks to Linda Moulton Howe and Earthfiles.com, we have received an excellent video of a strange object that comes down from the sky, loops over land, then goes back up. It was taken by the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport Tower Cam, and is definitley not a special effect.

There appears to be some heavy duty UFO activity taking place in California. Big Bear is not that far from Joshua Tree.

Whitley Strieber sent us this with this comment, "We used to hear footsteps on the porch of our cabin, but no matter how fast we got out there, we never saw anybody. What happened to these folks in Joshua Tree must have been really terrifying."

This is an odd one. Certainly, it's not a CGI effect, but what the objects may be is another question. These could be genuine unknowns.
