BLUE UFO SEEN HOVERING
OVER DENVER, COLORADO
     On Tuesday, February 3, 1998, at 9:47 p.m.,
Jonathan A. "was heading south on I-25" Interstate
Highway 25 in Denver, Colorado (population 467,610)
when he spotted something strange in the sky.
     "I saw a bright blue light in the sky that was
hovering for about one minute," Jon reported. "There
was no structure (on the UFO), and the sky was
clear.  It looked by me that it could have been just
east of the Highlands Ranch.  I could not saw just
how far away it was, but it was as big as my thumb,
so it was close."
     "I would say it was about 20 degrees above the
horizon," he added.  "I stopped to watch.  Then it
moved fast--straight up--and it was gone.  I drove
further east but had no luck seeing it again.  Who
knows what it was?  All I know is that I saw it, and
I could not identify 'it' or the flight pattern it took."

UFOs AGAIN ACTIVE AROUND
GRATIS, OHIO
     The small town of Gratis, Ohio (population 998),
at the junction of Highways 725 and 503 approximately
97 miles (155 kilometers) southwest of Columbus, is
once more the scene of UFO activity.
     On Thursday, February 5, 1998, at 8:30 p.m.,
Timothy J. reported that "his brother came in the
house and stated that there was a UFO outside."
     Heading outdoors, Tim spotted the object to the
southeast of their house.  He described it as "a
triangular shape" that "had a glow that contrasted
against the sky.  It had a light at each corner and three
more at the center.  Two of the outside lights flashed
alternately with one center light.  It made no sound and
flew extremely slow."  (Many thanks to Tim Hagemeister
of NACOMM for this report.)
     On November 19, 1997, at around 5:30 p.m., Edward J.
reported, "My wife and daughter have seen the strange
objects in the southern sky near Camden and Gratis.
Today I saw those lights.  There were four lights in
position.  Two of the lights were almost on top of the
others.  One of the two was much larger.  The four lights,
when you looked at them, you could tell they were all
together in a group, being set apart from all the others
such as stars and aircraft.  My daughter states that she
sees these lights frequently and calls them 'the Gratis
UFOs.'"  (Many thanks to Kenneth Young, public relations
director of Tri-State Advocates for Scientific Knowledge,

TUBULAR ORANGE UFO SEEN
OVER DUNKIRK, NEW YORK
     In early February, Jason R. was staying at his
grandparents' home in Dunkirk, New York, located on
the shores on Highway 5 approximately 45 miles
(72 kilometers) southwest of Buffalo, when he heard
a strange whirring noise.
     "I was sitting on my grandmother's front porch
one night and heard a type of whizzing sound coming
from the sky," he reported.  "At first I thought it was
a plane crashing.  As I looked around for several
minutes, I saw a bright orange stick-figured object
fly over the house.  It looked like one of those
roadside red flare things.  It was as big as or
bigger than the house across the street."
     Jason immediately went indoors to tell his
family.  As the UFO flew around overhead, it was
observed by the boy, his sister and both grandparents.

UFO FLAP SWINGS INTO
HIGH GEAR IN CHILE
     January 1998 was a big month for UFO sightings
in Chile.
     On January 4, 1998, Pablo Marinan and his family
spied a UFO over their hometown of Angol, located
400 kilometers (250 miles) south of Santiago de Chile,
the national capital.
     "The object was 55 degrees above the horizon and
southeast of us," Pablo reported.  "The UFO was oval
in shape, a very bright light with a dark structure around
it.  The object was vibrating.  At arm's length, it was
about two centimeters (one inch) long."
     On January 17, 1998, at 9:19 p.m., Rodrigo Bravo
saw "a very bright white/gold light come from the south
at high speed.  It stopped in mid-air over Santiago
(above the Corrillos section) for about ten seconds,
then it shot back to the south from where it came."
     On January 24, 1998, Sergio Rojas and four friends
drove out to Tranque Alfalfal dam in El Cajon del Maipo
about 40 kilometers (25 miles) southwest of Santiago.
On their way up the mountain to the dam, "they saw
two balls of light pass over them at a very high speed.
After a few seconds, they saw a third one, but it was
traveling much slower."
     Arriving at the dam, Sergio and his friends left
the car and walked to the cliff's edge.  "From here they
could see the Rio Maipo 100 meters (330 feet) below.
Then they saw a cigar/egg-shaped UFO about 18 meters
(60 feet) long coming up the river.  It was a bright white
color.  They heard a very high-pitched tone that clogged
their ears for a while."
     As the UFO flew by, the group found themselves
covered by "a strange mist, hot and cold at the same
time."  They hurried back to the car and drove down
the mountain.
     "On their way to San Jose de Maipo, they encountered
a UFO that was hovering about 800 meters (2,640 feet)
from them.  They stopped the car and got out.  The UFO
looked like the moon but was slightly smaller and was
white-colored.  After five minutes of observation, the UFO
faded away like a cloud or smoke."  (Muchas gracias a

TWO BLACK HELICOPTERS
SPOTTED IN CONNECTICUT
     On Monday, February 9, 1998, at about 3 p.m.,
Vincent R. was near Railroad Avenue in Greenwich,
Connecticut (population 58,400) when he heard the
distinctive sound of helicopter engines.
     Looking up, Vincent saw "two black helicopters
with armor around the windows.  They were flying very
low, just over 1,000 feet (300 meters)."  He described
the helicopters as "medium size, no antennae" and
"with skids."  They were "flying towards Long Island"
along a flight path that would have taken them across
Long Island Sound to Lattingtown, New York.
     Greenwich is located on U.S. Route 1 in the
southwestern corner of Connecticut approximately
30 miles (48 kilometers) northeast of New York City.
