Date and Orgin Pending Further Communication:
This picture was sent to me with the following statement:
The photograph I have attached to this e-mail has forever changed my outlook on
life. Even though I hadn't realized what I had seen through my camera lense until the
film was developed. Now I know what the average skeptic would think. It is just
too convenient that I had my camera at the exact moment that the UFO appeared.
However, due to the nature of my work, I am constantly carrying a camera. In
fact, as a photographer for a local newspaper, my camera is my closest companion.
I was actually at my home at the moment the object appeared. As I was
beginning to test a number of lenses and filters that I had just bought,
something caught my eye. As a photographer, I instinctively grabbed my
camera. Through the lense, I glimpsed what I could only describe as a flying
saucer. I thought I would find out what it "really was" when the picture was
developed. I didn't give the sighting a second thought until it was developed.
When I got the picture, I was astounded. What could the flying object be?
My skepticism turned into a wonderment. Could there really be alien
beings out there? If there are, what do they know? Maybe my picture could
be an insight into a new form of life. Or maybe it is the product of an
optical allusion.
(Note): Thank you Brandon (last name withheld) for the picture and statement.
Obviously quick thinking and sound mind enabled this photograph to exist.
2000 End of April, Outside Las Vegas, Nevada, USA:
Hi, I really enjoyed your site. I was looking up information on the Internet,
because I had a strange experience recently. This is not something that I would
normally be interested in let alone look up on the computer. But about a week ago
I was driving in Las Vegas from the Hoover Dam, and saw something that I can not
rationally explain. It was dusk, not quite night yet, and we were one of the few
cars still on the road. We passed by a few cars, and some remote hotels, but mostly
it was just landscape. We could see lights from where we were, but we were not close
enough to the downtown strip to really make out the hotels exactly, but we could
see the millions of lights.
We came up over a ridge, and out of the corner of my eye where it had been
black, I saw a strange glow. I turned to look at it, and it was a strange
shade of green then went to a strange shade of almost aqua. At this point it
moved straight up completly vertically. This really caught my attention. I
thought it was some strange light show or something, but as I looked around I
did not see anything else. I watched it for maybe 5 seconds, and it seemed to
change shapes. It was always a roundish shape, but it kept getting longer
then shorter. It was not metal or anything like that, and it was not just a
light from the city as it had a strange substance look to it. Then just as fast
as it moved up, it moved back down, and this time it had several colors, like
a prism. I was starting to freak out a little as I have seen airplanes,
hot air balloons, even blimps, but nothing at all like this before. I told my
friend to look at it, and he said that he saw something too, but did not keep
looking as he was driving. When I turned back all I saw was a trail. Sort of like
you would see a shooting star or something like that. But I was shaking from head
to toe, because I knew that I had seen something that I have never seen before and
probably will never see again. I looked in the newspaper the next morning, I even
asked a few people just out of curiosity if they had seen something strange the
night before. Most people just looked at me like I was strange. Even my friend
said to just drop it.
But ever since it happend last weekend I have been obsessed almost with it.
I can not explain it, as I have never really given this subject much thought.
But with out a single doubt in my mind, I saw something that no humans beings
could create. I looked at your pictures you have posted, and it is hard to
tell from most of them, but none of them had the same shape or the softness
this thing had. It was not like a metal, and not like a light or a beam of light.
It had substance, but not anything I can describe, as I have never seen anything
floating in air like that. It had an almost fleshy look to it.
(Note): Thank you Jennifer for your post, numerous attempts to re-contact you
for more information have proven fatal due to (I guess) a change in your email
address. Please contact me if you re-visit this site.
2000 July 10th, South Central St. Louis, Missouri, USA: Sighting Time (9:30PM):
I remember something from last summer when I was in a field behind my house
looking at the stars. I kept seeing this object below the clouds that kept coming back.
It was the exact same thing, and it made no noise at all. It was low enough that if
it was an airplane, I would have heard it, besides, I pride myself in having good hearing.
Anyway, I was out there for and hour and it kept coming back. It did not have airplanes
lights either, they changed colors, like, red to pink to purple to blue...so on.
It would then turn and I wouldnt be able to see it anymore because it went behind these
woods about 20 feet away from me. It looked like it was descending or
something. It was also moving extremely fast, they were behind the trees
within a half a minute, then after about a half hour of this, it stopped.
About five minutes later, I see this huge bright white flash coming from
the woods. It really freaked me out, like, it covered all the trees. I'm
surprised it wasnt reported or something, but that's about it.
(Note): 14 year old Kaetlyn also expressed interest as an avid star watcher, so
I'm sure she's familar with the night sky, and what's not supposed to be there.
Thank you Kaetlyn for your post.
October of 1999, Garden of the Gods park, Colorado Springs, Colorado.
I witnessed a flat, black, solid ball, aproximently 10' tall, floating by
some vintage airplanes flying in Colorado Springs. It was in the early
afternoon. The object was at about a 45 degree angle from the horizon,
while I was facing North. I observed it for about one minute before I took
my eyes from it and then I was unable to find it again.
Early July of 2001, Garden of the Gods park, Colorado Springs, Colorado.
I was with 3 other people and this same object was viewed by all of us
for approximently 5 or 6 minutes. Again it was first spotted by one of my
friends while he was looking at a medivac helicopter. It was visible with the
naked eye and was traveling in a southwardly direction. When it was first spotted,
it was at about 70 degrees overhead. It was traveling at about 80 to 100 miles
per hour. The white clouds were the back drop for this object and were not
moving. There was no wind at ground level either. With the aid of binoculars
the object had a seam that went around its girth. The exact area was over the
front range mountains from about the Garden of the Gods to Cheyenne Mountain.
Again it was a ball about 10' tall, flat black in color and It could not be
determined if it was rotating.

(Note): I met Peter on Monday, September 10th, during my lunch hour. I was in
the Garden of the Gods park on Rampart Range Road doing a little sky fishing
with an infra-red video camera. Peter and I had struck up a conversation in
which his two sightings were explained to me in detail. I then asked Peter to
email his sightings to my web site for posting. This sighting will be reported
to the National UFO Reporting Center. It has not been the first time an orb-
like probe has been seen flying over Colorado Springs, near Cheyenne Mountain,
where NORAD resides. Thank you Peter for taking your time talking with me and
reporting your sighting.
