Niagara Parkway, Ontario - Four Huge Lights Lined Up In Possible Circle
Date: December 30, 2008
Time: 8:02 p.m.

Hi Brian, I spoke to you some time ago re a multiple metallic "flying saucer" sighting in the 1950s in Menihek, Labrador, by a neighbour. While I have never seen a UFO that I didn't categorize as likely being landing lights from an aircraft or a star or planet, my friend and I did see something strange over the Niagara Parkway (Ontario) Tuesday night December 30, 2008 at 8:02 pm Eastern time. Because it was so strange, my friend took note of the time. We were about ten kilometers out of Niagara on the Lake heading for Niagara Falls when we observed four (4) huge, self-illuminated lights lined up in the beginnings of what might have been a circle. In other words, though we saw no shape of any kind behind the lights, they were equidistant apart, in a row that was slightly "bent." I used to be a student pilot and estimated them to be at roughly about 500 feet altitude. They were exceptionally bright - almost like movie klieg lights and I said to (my friend): "Jeez, have we seen them before!?" She replied: "No..." and I came back with: "What are they?" Naturally, one looks for a rational explanation such as some sort of new installation, even though I knew they were too high to be on any ground structure in our area.

We were coming to a turn with some trees following the parkway and I said: "Let's see them from over here. Four is too many for landing lights and a plane shouldn't be at that altitude anyhow." We rounded the bend, drove for five or ten seconds and they were gone. I stopped on the escarpment at the Brock Monument overlook to scan the area but could see nothing. The evening was fairly overcast but I don't know what the ceiling was that night - something that would likely be available. I decided to goggle lights, Niagara etc. to see if anyone else saw them and came across the other reports from Welland which is in our area - a few miles away. We also waited to see if there were any news report.

Anyhow, I wouldn't file a formal UFO sighting report as I have no idea what they were other than some strange, exceptionally powerful lights in the sky that shouldn't have been there. Their spacing was too close for multiple aircraft with landing lights on to be flying safely and, anyhow, I used to live on a flight path for Toronto International and never saw lights this bright on any aircraft! Pilots should be so lucky.

Kinloch Rannoch, Perthshire, Scotland - Round Balls Of Orange Light
Date: December 31, 2008
Time: 8:45 p.m.

While spending Hogmany at Loch Rannoch, my girlfriend and I spotted four round balls of orange light which seemed to be about a thousand feet above us and about halfway over the loch.The loch sits in a long Glenn and is surrounded by mountains and it seemed as though the lights were traveling beneath the height of the mountains.They followed an exact flight path to one another and were separated by equal intervals.A fifth one then appeared and joined the formation as the first one reached about the end of the loch and it faded away.Each one then did the same thing and faded away when reaching the same point.These lights were an orange colour and were round and about the size of a car.As they passed very slowly by and were very close to us I was astonished to hear not the slightest sound,nothing! There was no wind whatsoever so as far as I could tell they seemed to float past us.This was witnessed by other people outside the hotel and by some hotel staff. A staff member claimed there was military test ground nearby and lights etc are not unusual.

East Orlando, Florida - Square To Round Shaped UFO
Date: December 31, 2008
Time: 10:00 p.m.

A few of us met at a friends house in east Orlando to follow each other to a New Years Eve party. When we walked out of the house to get in our cars, I noticed a square shaped object with what looked like a fire ball inside or to the back of it. It was traveling southeast in a straight line and it had no sound to it at all. I said to my girlfriend and 5 friends, "look at that, what is it" We all then watched it glide across the dark sky and disappear. We all watched in amazement so it wasn't until it was far away that I tried to record it with my cell phone. My friend lives in a neighborhood with not many street lights so it was easy to see and no one was putting off any fireworks at the time. It was the strangest thing any of us as ever seen in the sky.

Shoeburyness Essex, England - Numerous Orange Colored Lights
Date: January 1, 2009
Time: 12:05 a.m.

At 12.05am New Years day, my partner kids and neighbors were out front seeing in the New Year. We were watching the fireworks going off and we were all amazed to see a bright orange light. It looked like a large twinkling star, but it was bright orange. It was then followed by nine other lights moving very fast and in sequence and when they each got to a point and faded they moved from the east to west. We live in Shoeburyness Essex and we akk spent a large amount of time after trying to work out what it could be. I have seen clips of UFO balloons and they don't look like them as these were twinkling and very bright orange.

They had no other lights, although we discussed that it could be military aircraft, again no lights and we didn't think it was plausible as these lights were travelling quite close together. A neighbor further down came to wish us happy New Year and started telling us he had seen strange orange lights earlier in the evening. Well I just thought I'd share this with you, we were very sober and whilst I don't want to make a fuss about it, we are all very baffled, that is the ten of us that witnessed it. It actually frightened the younger ones, so if you can shed any light we would be grateful.

Shiremoor Tyne And Wear,England - Red Lights Make Unusual Turns
Date: January 1, 2009
Time: 5.05 p.m.

I am from north east England and today the first of January 2009, 4 of us seen a large red object in the sky. On first glance thoughts were of a helicopter or plane. There was no noise from it, it was like a light bulb shape at the top, sometimes orangey red in colour. It moved overhead in one direction and we thought nothing of it other than a lovely red light. Then it moved in the opposite direction and we became curious. Couldn't make head nor tail of it. After 3 minutes of first spotting it we then seen another red light similar but looked nearer us! No noise,or beacon lights, no plane wings, with the closest object we did manage to catch a glimpse of a halo light at the top. Also same shape and colours as the other one.

The sky was quite clear, small clouds further up, and the objects then progressed along the sky slow then fast in various directions and then sort of went straight up until they looked out of sight behind far away clouds! Amazing sights. Me and my partner and 2 children seen this at 5.05pm 1st Jan 2009 in Shiremoor, Tyne and wear.England! We did manage to take a small video recording on a mobile phone.

Berrynarbor North Devon, England - Another Orange Light/Object Spotted
Date: January 1, 2009
Time: 00.45

Walking home from our village pub a little after midnight following the New Year party, my wife and I stopped to admire some Christmas decorations on the houses at the bottom of the track leading up to our place. What seemed to be a Christmas light or firework came over the roof of one of the houses. It was like an orange lantern, (circular, but also, perhaps having some rectangular structure) gliding silently and steadily through a hazy sky in which only a few stars were visible. We are keen astronomers and spend a lot of time sky watching, so we know when something is unusual and this was definitely the case. In fact, I'd been doing some astrophotography earlier in the evening (Venus and the crescent moon) and I'd brought my camcorder to record a few songs by the featured band. I was therefore able to get about one and a half minutes on tape of the object's passage from a southerly direction - veering toward the north west.

West End Of Paisley, Scotland - Witness Films Orange Glowing Lights
Date: January 1, 2009
Time: 0500

I was having problems getting my four year old to sleep last night because fireworks were being set off because of the New Year celebrations. So I gave in and put my lights off and myself and my four year old sat watching the fireworks from my living room window. As we were watching, I noticed an orange glow. It was small to start off with, but as it got higher in the sky it grew in size and got brighter. It came from the northeast direction of my window. I don't know what direction my window faces. Then a smaller light came up and this one grew in size as well, but not as big as the first one. They kind of half circled around each other and were two inches apart from the distance I was watching and it looked like they were dancing , it was very beautiful.

They were not traveling fast and they were quite slow. After a minute or so, the second one flew away into the distance, but I could still see the light, but it was very small. The larger one stayed there a bit longer then flew of in the same direction. At first I thought it was a helicopter as you get a lot in the west end of Paisley, but I opened my window and there was no noise, they were both silent. I think the first one was a dark shape with a light, but unsure if my eyes were playing tricks on me.

When the first light caught my attention, I didn't know what to do so I grabbed my phone and video taped it for about a minute and a half and took several pictures. When I looked at the pictures, one of the lights is in a boomerang kind of shape and glowing bright orange, but it's a really clear picture. The second one is a longer shape, but not as orange as the first one.

My son watched this going on with me and I said to my son, look at the lights dancing because it was such a beautiful sight to see and watch. He watched then turned around and said, Mum, close the window, don't let the orange lights in. This was caught on my video. The pictures I took from 0500 to 0700 this morning just after the bell are quite clear and I really don't know what to do with them. Could someone contact me so i know what to do.

I went onto your website at the back of two when I calmed my son down and finally got him to sleep, but I'm shaking now because someone else saw what I saw and have the pictures to prove it happening as well. I am quite skeptical, but do believe that we are not alone and I believe that I think there is something after we die. But this thing that has happened, has really got me. But unsure in what way.

Wheatly Hills Doncaster, England - Three Orange Colored Lights/Objects
Date: January 1, 2009
Time: 12:10 a.m.

I just read a report about a UFO sighting in Wheatly Hills Doncaster dated 1st January 2008. (sighting was 2009) I saw the same exact sighting on 1st January, but 2009 at exact same time either he got the date wrong or it's happened again. These looked really high to me and there was three lights and they all went out at the same point of there destination, except one, which went straight up. I have never seen anything like it, nor did all my friends. Either it was strange awaiting some type of reply.

Worthing, West Sussex, England - Ten Orange Orbs Or Balls Of Light
Date: January 1, 2009
Time: 12.15 a.m. to 1.05 a.m.

I was outside with my partner, welcoming in New Year and watching fireworks over the rooftops nearby, when we noticed 3 large orange orbs flying towards us, high overhead, just inland of the sea, moving directly East to West. They moved at constant speed but in a clear triangle formation. They were large orbs or balls, and bright orange in colour. They appeared to be flying as high as usual commercial aircraft would over this area, estimate maybe 15,000ft, but with no sound or blinking of lights (we're both very familiar with various aircraft lights, living on flight-paths of Gatwick, Heathrow and a small local airport). These were much, much larger than aircraft lights, and much brighter, steady orange lights. Given the height they were at, they must have been of considerable size.

They reached a certain point in sky, still over the coastline, almost directly in line with the house, then seemed to shoot upwards and vanish one after another. Several minutes later, another 3 appeared from same direction, and followed exactly the same sequence and triangle formation, reaching the same point in sky, in line with the house, then suddenly moved upwards and vanished.

I took a short video on the mobile phone, but it has not captured them anywhere near as clearly as could be seen with naked eye. I took a few still pictures also, but these have come out as showing the objects as white circles or disc shaped, and not as clear or bright as what we could see ourselves.We couldn't take our eyes off them, even though we were freezing cold and would rather have gone back into the warm house, we stood there discussing what we had seen. My partner is very logical and analytical and tried to find a possible rational explanation but couldn't find any to fit what we saw.

We were still stood discussing it when another 3 appeared, and again they followed the same path and formation before moving upwards vertically and vanishing, one by one, in the same spot. Then a final one, travelling alone, and seemingly much brighter and larger than the previous ones flew over. This too disappeared upwards in same location.

There was no wind, and no logical explanation for the triangle formation, flight path nor the sudden upwards movement before vanishing. They were definitely not fireworks, and from the size, height, speed, flight path and formation (and sudden upwards movement before vanishing) they definitely weren't balloons, planes or helicopters. We did wonder if they could be something related with the military, but we are within commercial airspace here, and even then we could not work out what sort of military craft could disappear so suddenly like these things did, or move so silently.

We were both 100% sober (non-drinkers), nor are we taken to flights of fancy. My partner has never seen a UFO before. I've had one brief daylight UFO sighting in the past, witnessed by others, but am not a UFO spotter or anything of that ilk. Later on, we joked about not going outside alone in case one of us was "beamed up", we were only joking about it, as neither of us is afraid of being outside in the dark or anything like that, however, the fact is we were both a bit spooked by it. There was a strange and eerie feel about the whole thing. We both felt (independently of each other) almost as if maybe we had been spotted, or had been watched by these things, before they disappeared in the same spot above the house. We each had a sense that maybe they were watching us as much as we were watching them! Sounds strange, but true.

Black Boy Road, Exeter, Devon, England - Orange Colored Orbs/Lights
Date: January 1, 2009
Time: 12:15 a.m. - 12:25 a.m.

Sighting occurred between 12:15 & 12:25am on January 1st 2009. In first instance I spotted two steady orange lights one slightly brighter then the other hanging in the sky to the west while walking in Black Boy Road, west, towards the center of town. At that time I took them to be stars or planets which were bright enough to shine through the cloud cover, and in doing so had taken on the orangey colour. Within a couple of minutes I again looked upwards, this time only one was visible, it was moving slow and steady from north too south across the sky at an angle of maybe 50 degrees, at which point I pointed this out to my girlfriend, we both then watched as this lasted for something under a minute before it appeared to stop complete, it then changed direction heading into the west, it appeared to both accelerate and fade before disappearing completely.

Burslem-Stoke On Trent- England - Round Ball Like Glowing Orange
Date: January 1, 2009
Time: 1.25 a.m. - 140 a.m.

We were enjoying New Years eve round my friends. After seeing out 12:00am and celebrated New Year we proceeded to watch the fireworks off the balcony (my friend lives top floor on a apartment block) after watching the fireworks we started playing on the WII Fit. Then around 1.30am ish my friend jumped up out of his seat shouting what the hell is that? Myself, my girlfriend, my friend and his girlfriend all jumped up an rushed to the window, before I got to the window, thoughts were rushing through my head that it was a meteor, but then when I got to the window I could see 3 objects, which seemed to just be hovering they were all about the same height at a estimate I'd say 35,000 - 50,000ft.

They were higher than a aeroplane, they were also at a estimate about a mile away from each other, so they were all the same height and evenly spaced in the sky, after been there 4 1-2 minutes they started glowing bright orange and lit the sky, then 1 shot off very fast, then the next, then finally the last. After they'd all gone we all looked at each other in disbelief, none of us are into UFO's, we were also gutted that even having 4 camera/videophones and also a digital camera to hand none of us took any pictures or video's. So telling people the next day as you can imagine was hard as we have no evidence but we all no what we saw! If any has any info or any other sightings that they'd like to share please do. another thing was I can't believe what I saw, I've never seen anything like it before I didn't no who to report it to?

Paisley Renfrewshire, Scotland - Orange Colored Objects/Lights
Date: January 1, 2009
Time: 00.10

Went outside to watch fireworks after bringing in the bells. I looked towards the east of Paisley where most of the fireworks were going up, as I turned to go back inside, I noticed coming from a north direction a glowing orange round shape going across the sky in a curve path towards the west there were 2 of these objects a fare distance apart going in the same direction, same curved path, same altitude. There was no noise from these objects just an orange glow. Traffic control at Glasgow Airport must have seen these objects as they would have been west of the airfield.
