(Editor Peter ZS2ABF: I have now put out 161 UFO news bulls listing and
describing Possible UFO sightings. I have acquired a reasonable following of
Hams interested in this fascinating subject and I have had the personal
experience of a sighting of my own. Having said that, as I am trying to be an
open minded Ufologist and we don't really know the answer,  I understand and
remind you all that there are many Natural Atmospheric Phenomena on this earth
that can account for many of these sightings, especially when most people
reporting them have little knowledge of the atmosphere.
For instance, it is not known that the planet Venus, when viewed under certain
atmospheric conditions will appear as a glowing orb that moves in the most
extraordinary patterns. Nor is it known that comets, meteors, clouds,
plasmoids, corona discharges, parhelia and paraselenae, the sun and moon and
stars, even lightening and birds, can all look like bright solid objects
moving at high speed. 

You may say what about the daylight sightings, Mock suns, or sundogs are
caused by the sun's light, which can reflect an eerie image of the sun onto
shifting clouds. It can take on strange shapes and colours, giving the
illusion that it is in flight or just hovering.  A mock moon, or moon dog
(paraselenae)
has a similar effect at night.

Other UFO sightings at night are caused when the light of the moon shines on
ice particles contained in drifting clouds, making the particles seem like
shining, round-shaped objects in flight, in the phenomenon known as 'parelia'.
 Another one is 'atokinesis' in which a given star will appear to be moving in
the dark sky, sometimes darting about erratically just like a glowing flying
saucer. Lenticular clouds also form in circular, dome-shaped layers, appearing
in single or groups. Temperature inversions cause various layers of clouds at
different temperatures to bend and twist and distort light, and on and on and
on.
I won't bore you with all of the natural effects that occur in our atmosphere.
Just remember that people tend to jump to a conclusion before determining the
real reasons.
I am still waiting the day when humanoids walk forth and say "Take me to your
leader".

Your comments on the above will be gratefully accepted.)


More sightings from around the world from my added sources.

London, Ontario Huge Long Triangular UFO

Date:  Late October 1977
Time:  8:00 or 9:00 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Extremely large and shaped like a long triangle
Weather Conditions: Clear and cold.

  Cassandra and I (11yrs old at the time) were walking up the middle of the
road heading to my driveway when all of a sudden directly over our heads was a
large black mass. It was extremely large. The object was just above the roof
tops of the condos which are only 2 story structures. I would compare it to
the size of 747 Aircraft. The object was completely silent. We didn't hear a
single noise from it before or after it passed over us.

Needless to say, Cassandra and I freaked out and went screaming to my mom
inside. We both told her exactly what we saw, probably both at the same time
because we were hysterical. I remember thinking at the time that the best way
to describe it would be as a prehistoric bird. I know for sure that at that
time in my life I didn't know anything about UFO's. I remember Cassandra and I
being uncontrollable scared and my dad had to have her mom come over. We both
