TEN LUMINOUS UFOs HOVER
OVER GLASGOW
     On Friday, January 16, 1998, at 7:45 a.m., Gordon
MacAndrews and his wife Fiona were waiting for sunrise
in Glasgow, Scotland when they spotted mysterious
lights in the southern sky.
     "I viewed the lights from the top of a hill in the north
of Glasgow," MacAndrews reported, "which overlooks the
city, as the lights were some way off.  As I mentioned in
my post, my wife also saw the lights and was as
mystified as I am."
     He described the UFOs as "whitish-yellow" and
"smaller than a small coin" held at arm's length.  "They
did not approach; they stayed in the same area," over
the southern suburb of Busby.
     From their observation point near Springburn Road,
the couple "watched the lights for 20 minutes...As the
sun rose, we were unable to see them any longer."
     "As I saw them from the other side of the city, I
was sure someone else would have seen the display
but apparently not," he added.
     Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, is about 55 miles
(88 kilometers) west of the capital, Edinburgh.

FAST FLYBY IN QUEENSLAND
     On Wednesday, January 21, 1998, Steve Burrows
and his two children were outdoors at their home in
Brisbane, in Australia's Queensland state when they
spied a fast-moving UFO crossing the sky.
     The trio "watched a fast-moving single white light
travel from directly overhead to 45 degrees (above the
horizon) in the east and was then covered by low
cloud."
     Burrows described the condition of the sky as
clear, adding "stars were clearly visible before the
low cloud cover swept in from the south."  They had the
object in view for "no more than 30 seconds."  (Many
thanks to Steve Burrows and Errol Bruce-Knapp for
this report.)
UFOs LINKED TO MUTILATED
SWINE IN COLORADO
     Three large pigs were found dead and mutilated
Monday, January 5, on a ranch near Highway 159
in Costilla County, Colorado.  The area is located
just west of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range,
about 230 miles (418 kilometers) south of Denver.
     Two ranchers found two of the swine that
morning, then located the third a little later.
According to Christopher O'Brien, investigator and
author of THE MYSTERIOUS VALLEY (St. Martin's
Press, 1996), the dead swine weighed "about 100 to
150 pounds, white in color and each with a cored-out
rectum and other round holes in the abdomen."
     Photographs of the crime scene were taken by
Bob Green of the La Sierra News.
     On January 8, O'Brien learned that a local
teenage girl had told her mother that she and a friend
"while coming home from basketball practice" had
seen "two lights emanating from the sky in the
approximate location where the carcasses of the
three pigs were discovered."
     The girl reportedly told this story before news
of the mutilation made the rounds in Costilla County.
     UFOs were also seen in neighboring Huerfano
County, as well.
     On Wednesday, January 7, 1998, UFOs were
sighted over the La Veta Military Operations Area
(MOA) in the large San Luis Valley.  Witnesses
in Farisita and Gardner, two small towns on
Colorado Highway 169 approximately 155 miles
(248 kilometers) south of Denver, spotted
"extensive aerial activity by dozens of unknown
objects, for hours, that did not appear to be
conventional aircraft."
     According to local investigator David Perkins,
the UFOs were described by the witnesses as
"large 'disco-balls' " and "small red lights/crafts
which appeared to crisscross the Huerfano."
     On Thursday, January 8, 1998, two witnesses
driving north on Colorado Highway 17 about 25
miles (40 kilometers) west of Farisita and Gardner
saw "a 150-foot (45-meter) diameter disk (flying) at
between 1,500 to 2,000 feet in altitude" traveling
"down the center of the San Luis Valley over the
Baca Ranch two miles east of Highway 17 at
Mile Marker 93.  One of the witnesses, ex-military,
estimated the disk's speed at between 500 and
500 miles per hour."
     On Tuesday, January 20, 1998, a witness in
Hooper, Colorado reported "seeing a 'big star doing
big twists'" south of the Great Sand Dunes National
Monument at about 6 p.m.  He described the UFO
as "flashing red-green and blue lights" and estimated
its position at "five or so miles just south of Sand
Dunes Oasis."
     "At around 6:15 p.m., I witnessed low-flying jets
headed from the east, over the Sangre de Cristos,"
the witness told O'Brien.  The jets "were flying 3,000
feet from the Valley floor."  He added that the UFO
was not the star Sirius rising in the east but was
"two times brighter than the brightest planet" and
located "some 5 degrees south of Sirius."  (Many
thanks to Chris O'Brien for letting UFO ROUNDUP

VALLEY, on sale in May 1998.)
