football held at arm's length. The witness quickly retrieved
binoculars and watched for two minutes. He observed a dark hole
to open in the side of the object and a projection of 'icicle'
like energy or rays emitted out in a spread for about 50 to100
feet. The object then disappeared as he watched. #2-During the
Summer of 1997, the witness observed an object the shape of a
half moon (flat side up) moving slowly from the northwest to
west. The object had the color and brightness of moon and was
about the size of a VCR tape held at arm's length.  #3, In late
1997 and early 1998, the witness observed an extremely bent
boomerang, thick bodied, dark, moving slowly to south. Witness
said it could have been a triangle, but observation was made
against the night sky, but he was sure it was of the same shape
as extreme boomerang/triangle. He estimated it was 300 to 600
feet from him and the size of a tractor trailer rig. Lights along
the bottom of the flanks are white and red. This object has been
observed twice.  The Dowless Team is continuing the
investigation in the pursuit of additional witnesses, and to
establish the exact dates of observation. The sketches made by
the witness are of excellent quality.  Note: As of 18 March, we
have four new members resulting from our meeting and it's
attendant publicity. One of these is a pilot. Four additional
persons have contacted me and may submit applications including a
student preparing shortly for a degree in Cultural Anthropology,
and a state police officer. Thanks to Georgia State MUFON
Director, Chief Walter Sheets. Note: I have started contacting
people who have panoramic views of water or a valley from their
homes. Many casually report they regularly see UFOs. We
encourage you to search out these people and talk with them.
FLORIDA
The National UFO Reporting Center received numerous calls
concerning UFOs over Florida from 6:40 to 6:50 PM on Saturday,
March 7, 1998. "Two very bright, anomalous lights were observed
by many witnesses flying across the state of Florida, heading
northwest. They moved erratically sometimes fast and other times
almost stooping. Danny Oakes, a "warbird" pilot with the
Confederate Air Force, who lives in Okeechobee, Florida, reported
two brightly lighted objects approaching his location from the
southeast at what seemed to be a very high velocity. The objects
appeared to Oakes to slow suddenly, after which one of the
objects "shot" off and then returned to its position beside the
other object. MUFON also reports UFOs hovering near Cape
Canaveral. Thanks to Peter Davenport.

Mike Engebretson writes: You may be interested in a sighting of a
triangular craft I saw last September in Wisconsin.. It is very
similar to the NJ sighting described in Filer's Files #10-as
follows:
"On two occasions both my girl friend and friend Paul Davidson,
and myself saw a round band of fluorescent blue light on the
under belly of a hovering craft directly above the Garden Sate
Parkway. We followed the craft until it suddenly
extinguished its lights."
Mike states, "Particularly interesting is the 'fluorescent band
of blue light' which is what I saw. I would be interested if you
have heard of any similar sightings. I am collecting information
in an effort to investigate what I saw." You will find a report
and drawing of my sighting at:

OKLAHOMA
On Wednesday, February 25, 1998, at about 9:15 p.m., Debbie
Hickman was driving west on Interstate Highway 40 in Oklahoma
when she spied "a green fireball" in the night sky. Ms. Hickman
saw the object "at mile marker 126, west of El Reno. "I left
Oklahoma City and was driving west on I-40 back to Elk City," she
reported. "I had passed the towns of Yukon and El Reno and was
at mile marker 126 when I spotted a green fireball in the sky
west of my position. It appeared to be about the size of a golf
ball at arm's length and traveled straight-line. I spotted the
fireball as it came into the view of my windshield. It was in
view for three or four seconds as it traveled straight down and
then impacted the ground. I saw green sparks fly up from the
impact." The next evening, Thursday, February 26, 1998, Ms.
Hickman saw "a huge white light just south of Clinton Lake. The
light was seen near the Clinton/ Sherman Air Force Base but it
was at treetop level. While (she was) observing the light, it
'instantly' came forward to the edge of the tree line...and the
light could be seen through the trees. It then moved up a few
feet in altitude and moved over the interstate directly over her
truck. It then flew along I-40 for a few seconds."   By the
time Ms. Hickman reached mile marker 47, near Canute, the
mysterious light had vanished. She added, "The light was so
bright it illuminated the (truck's) cab." Thanks to Cliff Capers
and Jim Hickman of Skywatch International.
UNITED KINGDOM
Dave Dunworth, UK Director of Skywatch International reports a
Flying Triangle over M5 Motorway on March 9, 1998. The UFO was
followed for fifteen minutes by Mr M. Peast, Mr D. Matthews and
Mrs. J. York 39 miles from Exeter. Mr. Matthews spotted what
appeared to be a star in the south that first moved like a
conventional aircraft and then started to maneuver and descend
with an array of bright lights. The craft descended from a height
estimated at 25,000 feet to a height of 5,000 feet within a
couple of seconds. It displayed a vertical lift maneuver that
showed the shape of the craft as being triangular. The lights on
the craft by this time became much more discernible. The craft
displayed three highly luminescent white lights that were very
bright and in the center there was a large section of reddish
colored light that pulsated in intensity. The craft was about the
size of a jumbo jet. As the craft climbed they described seeing a
small kind of yellow and orange glowing ball that dropped from
the reddish area of the craft. The glowing balls of light shot
off at high speed towards the south and were immediately followed
by the triangular shaped craft. The ball compared to the craft
was about the size of a tennis ball. Both the craft and the ball
of light rapidly disappeared from view into the night sky and all
were left with an incredible feeling of wonderment at what they
had seen. Other motorists must have also witnessed this because
the traffic slowed down and everyone that passed us had their
eyes on the sky at that time. Thanks to Skywatch International
Inc. and Dave Dunworth thegreenhouse@netmatters.co.uk
