Marie ford-quigley says she isn"t the kind of person who believes in UFOs and aliens, and she doesn"t usually take a great interest in the skies.But she is still looking for an explanation about the metallic, spherical object she watched for more than a half an hour from the veranda of her home in Tyron, Prince Edward Island. It slowly travelled through a clear blue sky on Boxing Day, 2007, just before dusk."We thought it was a balloon, but it was up too high for that," Ford-Quigley recalled Wednesday. "It wasn"t an airplane, by any means."At one point, Ford-Quigley and her husband Tony noticed the strange object dip into a cloud."It started to smoke once it got through the cloud, almost like a piece of the back end came apart from the front end. It looked like it broke into two. And after that, a tremendous smoke trail coming from behind it," said Ford-Quigley, 46.The pair, who took video of what they saw, called the police and the airport, but nobody seemed to know anything about it."We don"t know what it was," she said. "We really thought it was man-made."The case has stumped Ufologists too.Of the 836 casesthat were reported last year, Ford-Quigley"s case is one of a handful that are considered "high-quality unknowns," said Chris Rutkowski, director of the Winnipeg-based Ufology Research institute, who calls the case " very, very strange."It"s one of the cases Rutkowski examines in his annual study on reported UFO sightings in Canada, something he"s put together since 1989.Released Wednesday, the study says last year there was 12 per cent increase in reported UFO sightings over 2006.
"We had been seeing a fairly high level for a number of years, but to see such a high increase in 2007 was quite surprising," said Rutkowski.As far as his study is concerned, last year didn"t set the record for reported sightings of unusual objects in the sky.
. At its peak in 2004, the study recorded 882 sightings.Last year, the UFO sighting hot spot shifted from British Columbia to eastern Canada.
RRRGroup: MJ-12 advocates contend that Harry Truman instigated the Majestic group and was privy to the alleged flying saucer crash near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. Let’s assume that the is all true… How did Truman react to the Earth-shattering revelation that extraterrestrials were visiting this planet, and had provided tangible evidence of those visits, with a clue to their technology, when they had an accident over the New Mexico skies? Truman seems have been to be nonplussed. He didn’t rearr...
Nick Pope: On the afternoon of Nov. 7, 2006, pilots and airport employees at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago saw a disc-like object hovering over the tarmac for several minutes. Because nothing was tracked on radar, the Federal Aviation Administration did not investigate. Yet radar is not a reliable detector of all aircraft. Stealth planes are designed to be invisible to radar, and many radar systems filter out signals not matching the normal characteristics of aircraft. Did it reall...
A recent spate of UFO sightings around the world has believers in a frenzy, but even the inside scoop from a former astronaut is not enough to sway the sceptics. Yesterday, aliens popped up in the news again as NASA sought to distance itself from former Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell who claimed extra-terrestrials have been coming to visit for decades. Dr Mitchell, 77, said governments have been covering it up for 60 years."I"ve been in military and intelligence circles, who know that beneat...

The late gray barker inspired the “Men in Black” movie.The popular author from Clarksburg wrote extensively about the Flatwoods Monster, Mothman and other weird subjects.In one magazine article after another, Barker helped to fuel America"s fascination with flying saucers in the 1950s.But that"s not all.“I found that there was more to this guy than UFOs,” said Bob Wilkinson, a notable West Virginia filmmaker who"s now producing a documentary on Barker. “He"s a complex character.”As for the docum...
An astrophysicist claims to know the true source of a strange grouping of lights that appeared in the Arizona night sky 11 years ago. Dr. James R. Bartzen said he has indisputable proof that the so-called "Phoenix Lights" were a product of secret man-made technology being shielded from the public. He works at the Russian-American Institute of Space Science. "There are no theories, there is only evidence," Bartzen told ABC15. "The government desires people to believe in space aliens so they don"t...
From the hollywood Hills to the Nevada state line, people reported seeing a fireball streaking across the sky and appearing to fall toward the San Bernardino Mountains on Tuesday morning. But explanations of the mysterious object were scarce. San Bernardino County Fire Dispatch reported receiving dozens of calls related to a fireball moving at high speed in the northwest sky around 10:40 a.m. "We got quite a few reports. It started with a gentlemen in the Lake Arrowhead area reporting a fireball...
As Roswell"s annual UFO festival approaches, tourists and television networks are headed to town in droves. The theme this year: "Absolutely everyone will be here." And that"s just what organizers are banking on. "We"ve always wanted to come here," said Erin Files. "We"re very interested in science fiction." Roswell, of course, is where a mysterious object crashed in early July 1947. While some believe it was just a weather balloon, others think the object was an alien ship. Either way, about 8,...
Seth Shostak: Reader warning: I"m taking off the kid gloves. If I seem angry here — a state of emotional discombobulation that seldom seems to be my wont — it"s because people whom I barely know, or in some cases haven"t even heard of, insist on propelling me over the precipice. Ostensibly, the issue is extraterrestrial intelligence. Not whether it exists, but whether the aliens have come to Earth. This idea, often monikered as "the UFO hypothesis," is a belief that"s neither fringe nor uncommon...
Of the more than 6 billion people in the world, only 12 have ever set foot on the moon, providing them the unique opportunity to peer at the Earth from hundreds of thousands of miles away. For many, the experience appears to have changed them. The select group has returned to regular life and dispersed into a wide array of careers, spiritual and philosophical leanings, and apparent perceptions of the world they temporarily gazed at from space. Most recently, NASA astronaut Edgar Mitchell, a memb...
Is it a bird, is it a plane, or could it be something else? That was the question Alan Ferguson was asking after taking these pictures at Acacia Hills. Mr Ferguson, 43, said he was taking pictures of the sky about two weeks ago, but when he downloaded the snaps he noticed a strange object flying among the clouds.And Mr Ferguson is convinced it could be a sign that life exists beyond the Earth"s limits."I have been seeing these weird and wonderful things flying around the place for years and no o...
Helen rhine was 16 when she saw a UFO in Amarillo, Texas. She had just finished watching a lunar eclipse at 2 a.m. one day in 1958. Suddenly, she saw three lights traveling swiftly and silently in a V shape across the sky. "I was instantly terrified," said Rhine, now 66 and a retired software engineer in Wylie, Texas. Rhine"s story is hardly unique. A survey conducted by the Scripps Howard News Service and the University of Ohio found that about eight percent of Americans say they have seen a my...
Federal Aviation Administration radar appears to confirm the presence of unidentified aircraft on Jan. 8 over the Stephenville-Dublin area, with at least one appearing to head toward President Bush’s Crawford Ranch, the same night that dozens of people reported seeing UFOs, according to a report released Thursday by a national group that studies reports of unidentified flying objects. According to the Mutual UFO Network report, the FAA radar indicated that several craft were moving in the same c...
Was it an unidentified Flying Object, was it a ship in distress or was it just people firing off red distress flares? The mystery remains. Mark Thompson, NSRI Bakoven station commander says it all started at about 21:10 on Saturday when their station was alerted to a red distress flare sighting about 500m off-shore at Bantry Bay. "Within minutes of this report, further ones of distress-flare sightings were received from Lambert"s Bay, Yzerfontein, Bakoven, Hout Bay, Strandfontein on the West Coa...
When the presence of an unidentified flying object was reported in the Spring of 1950 in the province of Matanzas, the first case of this nature known in Cuba after the start of the flying saucer age, it marked the beginning of a list of sporadic luminous visions, mostly lacking scientific exploration. Thousands of sightings and strange events in the sky above, dated in various parts of the world, have lead many to believe that we are being stealthily visited by representatives from faraway plan...
A Royal Navy aircraft engineer claims to have seen a "glowing" UFO hover over the M5 motorway. Michael Madden, 25, said he watched in disbelief as the disc-shaped object floated above his head before it "zoomed off at incredible speed". He said the unidentified flying object flew for up to three minutes above junction 21 of the M5, near Weston-super-Mare, Somerset. Mr Madden was on his way back from Manchester with colleague Michael Casson, 22, at 9.50pm on Sunday June 29 when he saw the suspect...
