Translucent Boomerang Shaped Craft/UFO Spotted In The Sky Over Bendigo Victoria Australia (Graphics)


Peter and Marg. This report written for Brian Vike (b_vike@telus.net) on Wednesday 6th May 2015.

Date:  May 5, 2015
Time:  9:20 p.m.

Witnessed by: Two only – Peter. and Marg.
Location: (residential suburb of) Bendigo, Victoria, Australia. Outside in the open yard of our home.

Description of object: Translucent boomerang shaped object.
Direction: The object followed a constant direction of approximately NW to NNW at a constant slow speed.

Weather conditions: Calm, windless, still, cloudless, no moon at that time, stars were bright against clear dark sky.

Temperature: Approximately 10°C to 15°C
Length of Sighting: Marg approximately 10 seconds, Peter approximately 15 seconds.


Sighting as reported by Peter:

It was a beautiful clear cool evening and Marg and I were outside in the yard talking. As we were chatting, I was looking up at the sky and happened to look directly at something moving over head. I said, "look at that!" To our amazement we saw some type of aircraft gliding silently overhead.

It was not far off being directly overhead and at low altitude. If I hold my arm fully stretched towards the sky with my first and fourth fingers pointed and spread as far apart as I can, that is how much sky the wing span of the craft covered from my perspective.


It was a brief sighting (10 to 15 seconds) with the craft disappearing behind trees that obscured our view. From our home (south eastern Bendigo) it headed towards the northern area of Bendigo.

I was able to see it for longer than Marg, about 15 seconds as I was able to move to where I could see it between the trees, that by then, were obscuring Marg's view.

The object was translucent. Stars could be seen through it yet it had visible form. It was not unlike seeing a translucent jelly fish in shallow sea water. Although the leading edge was  distinct, the trailing edge (or rear) was indistinct as though it was blurry. The shape was like a boomerang.

At the time it reminded me vaguely of the wings of a typical jet passenger aircraft, (Boeing or Airbus) but without the fuselage or tail section, yet our impression was that it looked whole and complete. The shape was very like, what I now as, the B2 Stealth Bomber.

It was a very quiet, calm evening outside our home that night and there was absolutely no sound that we could make out coming from the object as it went over, unlike that of any jet or propeller craft or helicopter, all of which we often hear and see in our location.

Although translucent, the object appeared dark, not lit by any kind of glow or lights. Upon reflection, I would estimate its altitude to be approximately 150 meters and had a wing span of approximately 50 meters.

I have found these figures difficult to estimate, but put together the above estimate based on such as elapsed time, apparent speed, apparent distances and approximated angles from when it passed over.

We were left feeling in awe, having been so privileged and fortunate to have seen something so unusual, serene and graceful. Neither of us felt any fear.


Before we got to discuss what we saw in any detail, I suggested we both pencil draw what we saw. They looked much the same other than our different methods of sketching. I have misplaced those drawings, but I'm sure that we can find them if ever required.

The next day, I felt compelled to tell someone about our amazing experience. I was unsure about who to tell and what to say. Considering that I run a small business and Marg is a registered nurse working at both local hospitals, the last thing we wanted was to be known as the local fruit cakes for having gone public with our story.

So at first, I gave an anonymous report to a local radio station, their story went to air. I guess I was expecting others to come forward too with their account of the seeing the same object, but I heard nothing.

As days turned into weeks, I felt a type of anxiety building up inside me, I think now because to me there was something unresolved about this. I made some inquiries about who I could or should contact. I tried phoning a military reporting number, was not taken seriously. I tried a UFO hot line number and got some jerk who was kidding me along and stringing out my call (as I out found out later) to make money by timed/tolled incoming phone calls from people wanting to chat or ones such as myself making UFO reports.

I was then feeling very angry! At a later time, I found a phone number of a UFO investigation organization, rang it, got a message service, left some brief information about my sighting and my contact details. They didn't ever return my call.

Several years later (in 2005) I happened to see a UFO magazine in a news agency, flicked through it and saw an article written by a UFO investigator by the name of George Simpson. There was a phone number for contacting George. I rang it, got a message service, but this time I left a surly voice message saying something like, "this is the last time I'm going to bother reporting our sighting!"


To my amazement, I got a return call from George! He was very interested in our story and arranged to do a trip to Bendigo soon after, to do a video interview with Marg and I. He later posted his written story about our encounter on a website. The link to that story is: http://www.auforn.com/February_2005.html (Was there yesterday, but not there today! Not sure why?)

After having George Simpson follow up on my report, the sense of anxiety and anger left me and has not bothered me since.

So, to this day, it still remains a mystery as to what we saw. Was it man made? Was it from some another intelligent race? Or could there be a different  reason behind its origin?

We have no idea! Although 18 years have now passed, we still talk about the experience from time to time.

Cheers, Peter.

Thank you to Peter and his wife Marg for an excellent sighting report and great graphics as to what the craft/UFO looked like. Also I have passed this report along to Bill Puckett.

3 Orange Lights In The Sky Outside Of Leduc Alberta


Date:  October 2014
Time:  Evening.

I was driving from my moms with my kids in October, I turned left at Beaumont intersection and headed down 814. As we were passing BMR gardens we seen 3 orange light moving up and down and fast rate of speed, as we got to Rollyview corner to head right into Leduc.

They were moving in all sorts of directions, not possible for aircraft or helicopter. It freaked us out so bad.

As we got closer to Leduc they disappeared, however, there were numerous planes that were circling instead of landing. When we got into South Park an orange light zipped over us and took off.

Needless to say we went inside and locked the doors! Later that night I woke up and it sounded like a jet engine hovering above out house.

I didn't look outside, and to this day every once in awhile I wake up to the same sound.

I live on a flight path to Edmonton International Airport, and it sounds nothing like the normal aircraft noise, and only started happening after the night we saw the 3 orange lights.

Thank you to the eyewitness for their report.

Red Lights And Acorn UFO With Multi Coloured Lights Rotating Around The Top And Bottom Over Bayfield Ontario


Date:  Summer of 2007 or 2008 ?
Time:  Evening.

I too have witnessed strange events over Bayfield, Ontario. I lived there for 2 years. About 7-8 years ago, and experienced some unidentifiable 'sightings'.

It was a clear summer night on my back deck of my rental house in Bayfield, where for about a week I had spent an hour or two each night during the week and 3-4 hours each night on the weekend.

I had a telescope and video camera out on the deck and was looking at the moon on a night when it was full. Really finding the detail the telescope provided fascinating.

One night as I was doing my usual personal 'research' I had looked through the telescope and attempted to record with my video camera the moon in all its alluring beauty.

I had taken a break and put the camera down and was sitting on a deck chair admiring the night sky looking north away from Bayfield and noticing how clear the sky was.

As I scanned the night sky, I noticed 3 small red lights behaving 'radically' moving very fast from east to west about mid-sky level. The lights were moving so fast, I had almost expected to hear a sonic boom, my father is an avid aviation enthusiast and I had heard him talk about the sonic boom that results from high speed planes surpassing the speed of sound.

When this didn't happen, I was even more amazed at what I was seeing. The spectacle went on a few more minutes and then stopped. All the while I was so fascinated by what I was seeing I didn't get the telescope or video camera. To this day for what happened a short time later I have always regretted not getting a closer look or recording the 'sighting'.

About 30-45 minutes later I witnessed something I will never understand or forget, when it happened I felt very calm and no fear. Although I didn't want to miss what I was seeing by scrambling to get the camera.

I had stayed out on the deck a little longer than usual looking to the night sky for the 'red lights', when just off to my left about 500-1000 feet above Bayfield an acorn shaped craft about 30-50 feet long with multi-coloured lights rotating around the top and bottom was moving slow and silent from right to left, then it rotated slowly away from me and instantly shoots of away from me in an incredibly fast pace leaving a multi-coloured streak behind and went up into the sky out of sight seemingly covering hundreds of miles in an instant with absolutely no noise at all.

I have never reported what I had saw. Although the next day at work at a local manufacturing factory where we all listened to the same radio station a lot of people called in to say they had saw the 'red lights' travelling at incredible speeds over Lake Huron and Bruce County.

Not one reported the close up sighting I had witnessed.

Thank you to the eyewitness for their report.

Two Dots Of Light Spotted Flying Over Cancun Mexico


Date:  2008
Time:  Evening.

Hi, I came across your blog when I looked up 'Strange Lights over Cancun'. I'm not sure if you've ever come up with a theory, but back in 2008 I had a similar experience when I went out for a smoke on the balcony.

I watched 2 dots of light moving across the sky in a manner which would seem simply impossible to be a man made aircraft or birds. Pretty similar to how you described it as well.

My brother was with me and witnessed it as well, the next day he asked a few locals what it could've been and they said it was birds.

The light being reflected from there stomachs apparently, but the way these lights moved it seemed completely impossible. If your still interested in this topic

I'd be more than glad to discuss more with you about it.

Thank you to the eyewitness for their report.

Bright Light Spotted In The Sky Over West Of Edmonton Alberta


Date:  April 29, 2015
Time:  11:00 p.m.

Hello,  on April 29, 2015 at 11:00 p.m., I saw a strange light west of Edmonton.

It was very bright and it moved very, very slowly. I used my binoculars and I saw a grainy bright round object that seemed to flatten it’s shape in irregular intervals.

Most definitely, it was not a star. Have you received any more reports on this? Any possible explanation?

Thanks.

Thank you to the eyewitness for their report.

Ball Of Light Circled In A Clockwise Fashion Over Lexington Kentucky


Date:  2011
Time:  Approximately 2:00 a.m.

Hi, I saw this ball of light early one morning, around 2:00 a.m., back in 2011. I watched it for about an hour or so.

No, it wasn't a beam of light as the light was coming from behind the clouds. It circled in a clockwise fashion.

It was going pretty fast then all of a sudden it slowed down, but continued in it’s circular motion.

It was circling over the rear end of the park, where soccer games are held. I had a clear view from my bedroom window to the park. I observed this thing for more than an hour.

I then found my camera and video taped it. Since then, I've obtained a better camera, as I think about what I saw each and every day. I have seen other unexplainable things before, but there had always been someone else with me to witness them. This one I was all by myself.

After observing for a while, for some reason, I became filled with much fear. I will never forget that early morning.

I've searched the internet to see if anyone else had experienced the same thing. So glad I came upon your blog.

I still look for this thing whenever I sat on my porch. Especially when the sky is full of broken clouds. Thank you.

Lexington, KY, USA.

News Release - May 1, 2015

Canadians still reporting high number of UFOs

2014 Canadian UFO Survey by study group Ufology Research shows UFO reports last year at third-highest level since 1989.

The 2014 Canadian UFO Survey has found that 2014 was another good year for UFO-watchers.

Data compiled by the private study group Ufology Research, based in Winnipeg, Canada, found that there were 1,021 UFO sightings reported nationwide last year.

This is slightly down from 2013, but still the third-highest number of UFO cases reported since the group began compiling an annual survey of UFO reports in Canada in 1989. Ufology Research has collected data in more than 15,000 Canadian UFO reports since 1989.
