Release Date: January 16 , 2005 Toa Alta, Puerto Rico In 1942 A Spacecraft Glowing Red From The Heat Date: July 1942 Time: Evening Number of witnesses: 3+ Number of objects: 1 Shape of objects: Disk/Mushroom. Full Description of event/sighting: My grandparents and my mother lived on a farm in Toa Alta, Puerto Rico just outside from the town. My grandparents were the caretakers of a farm that belong to a well to family of a famous literature/poet writer; which his books are still being used in the schools today. On or around July 1942 at approximately 10:00 p.m., my grandparents and mother heard an explosion and felt a sudden rise of heat. They ran to the window and saw what they thought was a meteorite, but what they really saw was a spacecraft glowing red from the heat at a distance at approx. 700 feet away, on a open field from the house They were afraid, and waited until the morning. When they went out to see the object there was white smoke coming out from the middle of it. The object was approx. 16 feet diameter the color was light gray metal with a marble like texture of design. In the center of the object was hallow were the white smoke was coming out. It seemed that something was missing from the center. My grand parents did not know what to do, so they waited until their friend who was an American Catholic Priest, who would visit them almost everyday around the same time approx. 11:00 a.m. or sometimes he would stay overnight. The priest told my grandparents not to go outside that he would take care of everything. He returned and waited with my grandparents, after a while the military came with trucks, they were from Fort Buchanan military base. The priest went outside and after sometime he returned with several military men at the door, the military men went to the kitchen spoke with my grandparents and the priest. Frankly I really don't know what was said at that point my mother was told to leave the room. After the military left with the object. the priest, my grandparents and my mother were talking about the incident. The American priest told them that they should never speak to anyone about what happened. That they should stay indoors at night because he did not know what happened to the occupants of the spacecraft. He said that they were very lucky that the object did not hit the house, they should thank god. He also said that the object was not from this world. The object did leave a black marking on the field of grass. Update: Some of my family members visited Toa Alta, PR recently and stated that the writer has past away, the farm is residential community, and that my grandmother stated before she pasted away that the spacecraft had being(s) not from earth. Thank you to the person for the interesting report. --------------------------- Over Long Island Sound Huge Bright Silent Light Splits In Two Date: August 1982 Time: Nighttime Number of witnesses: 2 Number of objects: 1 Shape of objects: Huge bright light. Full Description of event/sighting: I lived on the water and was sitting on the beach late one summer night with a friend. At some point, we became aware of a gigantic light (with no sound, only silence and the waves) filling our little bay, as if an incredibly huge spotlight (or gigantic ball of light) was shining on it - I say "became aware" because oddly enough, our awareness of this light - something so extraordinary as to warrant a seriously excited response I should think - elicited in us at first no response or comment, as if we saw this kind of thing everyday, and it was almost in passing that I finally asked my friend if she noticed this huge light shining in front of us. She said she did and we simply continued to sit there and stare at it. This huge light should have lit up the pier and the rocks on either side of it, but really didn't - it just lit up the water as if the light were somehow localized or focused on the water. I think I recall mentioning this odd "light behavior" to my friend while sitting on the beach and incredibly enough, I think she may have said something like, "It must be the sun" - which was a ridiculous thing to say when it's nighttime, and this out-of-character (in that it was absurd) comment from a girl who was an impressive student, high achiever and is now a doctor. I don't know if the light was there when we walked onto the beach and sat down (I don't remember doing that either), and have no memory of seeing the light emerge from the darkness - it was simply "there" by the time we "noticed" it and I thought to ask my friend if she too was seeing it. So after a time - it may have been 5 minutes or an hour or 3 hours (I just don't have any idea of the time), I said that it was odd that no one else was out on the beach looking at this (it was impossible not to see it if you were awake - it was that huge and the houses on the beach were right next to each other, with 10 houses directly facing the bay and the light). I decided to get up and go wake up my brother to show him, as the light was constant and didn't seem to be going anywhere, and it seemed to have been there a long time. So I walked up the beach, walked up the beach stairs to the top of our seawall and just as I reached the top, the light rose up, traveled to directly over my head, stayed there for a beat and then split into two smaller lights which then shot off in opposite directions. And that was that. It was gone. I walked back to the beach and my friend still sitting there and attempted to talk with her about it and she turned to me and said "I don't ever want to talk about this again." And she walked home down the beach. And we never mentioned it again. In fact, I never told anyone until about 10 years later. Not because I was worried about what anyone would think, but because it didn't (oddly enough again) seem "newsworthy" or "interesting," which, of course, it absolutely was. The following morning, no one else in our neighborhood mentioned it, either. Perhaps they didn't see it, or like me, didn't find it "newsworthy." Another odd thing is that my friend and I were only 14. Neither of us was allowed out on the beach (or anywhere) alone at midnight (my best guess as to time, as no one was awake in the neighborhood), and my friend's parents were especially strict. Her summer curfew was about 9:00 p.m. back then. I find it odd that we were even out there at that time, that neither of us were "missed" while we were out, that no one came looking for us, that neither of us got caught or got in trouble for being out of the house so late at night, and that no one else in our crowded little area saw this. From the light, to our reaction, to even our presence there on the beach, the whole thing could not be stranger. About 10 years later, I was riding in the car with my fiancée, and was reading a book about UFO sightings. A description of a sighting in the book was almost identical to the experience I'd had and I read it to him and told him that I had witnessed something similar. We had been together for 7 years at that point and when he asked me why I'd never mentioned it before, I was truly puzzled and wondered myself why I hadn't mentioned it to him or anyone before that. In fact, I've considered filling out your form many times before and haven't, because I didn't think it was really of interest, but now that I have finally written it down, it does seem quite a strange and maybe even amazing event. Thank you to the witness for the report. --------------------------- South East Bloomington, Indiana Bright Orange Ball Hovering Date: Late 1990's Time: Between 11:00 p.m. -1:00 a.m. It was cloudy and cold out on this day. this footage was taken by John Tosti with his friend around the late 90's, John and his friend were traveling over to another friends house to have a get together with friends. As they topped a hill on Dillman Rd. John looked over the top of Bloomington and noticed a bright orange ball hovering near a cell/radio tower, they elected to turn around and give chase to get a better look at what this might be, as they got to a road named Moffet Ln. They noticed it hovering stationary, beside the tower, John jumped out of the car with his camera and tried to catch it on video as best as he could, but by the time he exited the vehicle with his video camera the object vanished from sight. The driver was watching the object as it disappeared and kept looking in the direction of the object, as john got back in the car the same object re-appeared higher in the sky and further east from its last position. The object started to move NE of where they were sitting, they gave chase to see if they could get closer to get a better look at the object as they pulled on to Snoddy Rd. the object was stationary directly in front of them, John turned his camera on and started to film the object, the driver started to flash his headlights at the object to see if he could get a response. As John was filming he seen an object with a strange shape, he really didn’t know what he was witnessing, as he kept filming he noticed the object changing shape, John kept filming to document it, after a few minutes the object started to dim and move NE from Snoddy Rd. When John and his friend arrived at the get together, John hooked the camera up to the VCR to review what they had captured earlier. As him and his friends watched the footage they were amazed of what John and his friend had witnessed. A few weeks later a UFO researcher analyzed the video footage and came to the conclusion that this was not just one object but two objects, joining together to become one object (or docking). After close review of the video tape John agreed with the UFO researcher on his findings. This is the first time John has ever filmed two objects docking together in mid-air. There is more footage of this object that can soon be viewed on our site. "All Film is copyright to John Tosti" © AAARC 2005 Thank you to John for sending along the photos, footage and report.

Date: June 30, 2004 Time: 8:30 p.m. Number of objects: 1 Shape of objects: Triangle Full Description of event/sighting: I was taking pictures of a striking Texas sunset. I only saw the object after I transferred the photos to my computer. I took several shots just a few seconds apart. One shot does show a dark object below the clouds. When enlarged, it appears to reveal a triangle-shape. I neither saw nor heard anything odd at the time the photo was taken. I'd like to send it to you. The complete frame is 5 megapixels and shows a dark object in the sky below the orange clouds. Since I didn't see the object at the time, I didn't zoom directly on it, but I think it still is worth a look. I will also send two cropped versions that focus on the object. Thank you to the witness for the report and photo.

Number of witnesses: 4 Number of objects: 40 +/- Shape of objects: Triangular Full Description of event/sighting: I am a business consultant with an MBA and at the time was on vacation, renting a beach house on the Connecticut shore. My 14-yr-old nephew and my 18 yr-old babysitter saw UFOs first. I arrived home with my 22 yr-old niece at about 10:30 pm on 8/25 and they were excited, having seen about 10 "sparkling" objects flying in the sky above Long Island Sound. As I spoke with them about it, several more appeared in the sky, and by midnight we had seen approximately 40 of them. They would fly from over the ocean to inland, all in the same direction, approx. SE to NE. Several of these objects would fly in triangle or trapezoid patterns and looked to deliberately fly close and then closely cross each other's flight paths. At times, they looked like they might crash. Two flew very low over our heads and we could see the bottom of one. It looked like a triangle with a light at each point. When the objects flew over, a low flying helicopter appeared and at first appeared to follow one of the objects, but then continued straight on its path, away from the object. During this 2 hour period, there was a very low "planet" sitting over the water. It was motionless, large, shiny and sparkled red, blue, green and white. At 11:50, it stopped sparkling, dimmed and flew off in the direction of the other objects. None of these objects made any noise - all were completely silent. The next night we sat out at 10:15 pm to see if we'd see them again and did. We saw approximately 30 "sparklers" flying in the same direction as the previous night and behaving the same way as had the others. We also sat out last night and saw approximately 10 "sparklers" - same MO. I contacted an Air Force office in New Haven (a number I received from 411) and they said there were no bases in CT, Montauk was not being used (closest military base to us, although it was closed decades ago), they were not flying over Madison, Ct and the objects "were not ours." We will sit out tonight to see if any more of these strange objects appear. Post Script: Also: On the second night, a large bright white object appeared low in the sky over the water, arced directly down towards the water and disappeared. Thank you to the witness for his report. ----------------------- Trail B.C. Oval Surrounded by Rings Of Light Date: December 22, 2004 Time: Approx: 7:25 p.m. The couple drove from Vancouver to Trail for Christmas with the fellows parents. My girlfriend and I were standing outside of my parents home close to the well's pump house which is approx 50 feet from the front side of their house. We was waiting for my parents to return from picking up my other family member for the holidays. As I turned around and faced the house, I noticed a brilliant light coming from south but traveling low and slow. As we watched an object flew over the home and over top of us. We saw two rings of light rotating around an oval shaped craft. The first ring was made up of a blue and yellow, and the second ring - white and reds. The light the object gave off lit up the entire area and it eventually descended out of sight behind the tree line and disappeared. We never saw it again. The craft traveled to slow for it to be an airplane and we heard no sound at all. The object may have been approx: 40-50 feet in diameter and it's altitude was approx: 300 above ground. My girlfriend was squishing my arm as she was so frightened. Needless to say, we had quite the story to tell my parents when they arrived back home. Thank you to the witness for his report. -------------------- Milam County Texas Another Witness To The Brilliant Object Filmed Date: January 6, 2005 Time: Approx: 6:30 p.m. Message: Hello, I was happy to see the photos on the Kaufman County, Texas Brilliant Object Caught On Film. Dated Jan. 6, 2005 at about 6:30 p.m. I am not sure where Kaufman County is but I'm in Milam County and I saw the same object. I was on my way to the barn to feed the cows and watched it as it moved across the sky towards in a southwestern direction. I didn't think it was going all that fast either. Was beginning to wonder if I was the only one to see it. Now that I have proof I can show my husband what I was watching. Additional information: Some details of the Jan 6, 2005 Kaufman County sighting here in Milam County. The object I watched was high-up but you could tell it was a good size rounded type of object with a silver shine. Behind it was a long blue-white flame and a trail of smoke behind the flame. I've seen comets and didn't strike me as a comet. More like a metal ball but sort of oblong like an egg. It just sort of appeared in the sky out of nowhere. I didn't see it coming towards me as one would a plane. So I guess the point of entry was slightly above the back of the pasture. Which makes Dallas area about right. That is about all I can add to my sighting. Last year my husband and I watched three silver round objects traveling the same path. That is one of the reasons I always tend to look to the sky on my way to the barn. The silver objects were in broad daylight. I'm not sure of the date on that sighting. One thing for sure I will be keeping up with your website. Keep up the great work. Thank you to the witness for the report.

Was driving to work and just before reaching the parking lot I noticed the two objects in the eastern sky. My location was in Oregon City, Oregon, about where the Clackamas and Willamete rivers converge. Time was approximately 7:35 AM. Pulled into the parking lot and observed what ever it was for a few minutes. Two things that I observed that are slightly different than the photos you have. From where we ( my fiancée was with me and saw it too) were watching, the higher of the 2 objects was more of a streak, not as round as the lower object. The lower object was moving slowly in a S/SE direction, while the upper object didn't appear to be moving at all. To us the objects seemed the wrong color and too large to be reflections of sunlight off of an aircraft. Hope this helps. Thank you to the witness for his report. The witness was confirming the Portland, Oregon sighting which can be read here: http://www.hbccufo.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2277 --------------------------- Easterly, Texas Light passes Overhead Of Vehicle Date: January 13, 2005 Time: 7:00 -7:30 p.m. ? Message: I was traveling with my mom home one night not too long ago, on January 13, 2005; around 7-7:30 p.m. (not exactly sure). I was feeling an awkward feeling, and noticed a strange light in the sky. I watched it for a long time, and it never seemed to move. I pointed it out to my mom, and she said it probably was a plane or something. But when a plane flew right by it, I knew at that moment it wasn't a plane. We drove home, and the light seemed to get closer. In Texas, you see a lot of weird things, but around my area there are people who swear they see UFOs. Well, when the "light" got closer, I noticed it was not a plane, and pointed this out to my mom. She then told me it must be a helicopter. (She doesn't try to think of paranormal objects or happenings) I rolled down the window and watched it pass over us. It made no noise (we are in the country, so it would have been easy to hear it if it were a helicopter), and had flashing lights on the bottom of it. I don't know of any helicopter that has flashing lights all around the bottom, and this was close to the ground, so I know I would've heard something if it were a helicopter. I believe in paranormal, and sense that there is something out there, whether they are smarter than us or the government's doing, but there was something not right about that object. I know it wasn't anything that was normal. I could sense it. Additional Information: No problem. It was a clear night. When I first spotted it, I don't exactly remember where it was at, but I think it was south of where we were at (at that point), later on it passed almost directly over us, a little to the right, headed north, I believe. It wasn't moving very fast at all. In fact, when I first saw it, I didn't think it was moving at all. I know that when it passed us, that it was moving rather slowly. The feeling that I got from it was that it was looking for something. But hey, I have no clue what it even was, so how can I say what it was doing? I didn't notice anything unusual, maybe it did move to the side a little, but other than that, it just kept going. I really couldn't tell the shape, but if I had to pick one, it probably would be like an oval shape... not exactly round, but not exactly rectangle either... it was round I know for sure. When I first spotted it, it was pretty high, and as we got closer, I noticed it got closer to the ground. I couldn't see much of it, though, because it was already dark outside. No, there's no airport around where we live, they're all in the big cities. I don't know of any military places around here. I didn't see any aircrafts around it, except the plane that passed by it when I first spotted it. The lights around it were a blue color. No clue on the altitude, though... it was close, but not too close. I saw the whole thing for maybe five minutes, if even that. Thank you to the witness for the report.
