Mexico and Argentina: No Trespassing - UFO Close Encounters of the Second Kind (CE-2's)

UFOs don't come as close to us as they used to.

Time was where a bright-eyed saucer buff could read stories of unidentified objects coming close enough to the surface to singe treetops, set off home alarms, cause car and truck engines to sputter and die, o else inflict strange physical symptoms on innocent bystanders. In the Aughts, they either fly high over our heads, teasing digital cameras and camcorders, or else go straight to business and engage in the sordid business of abductions. No candy and flowers first.

In fact, it's hard to sit down to write an article about what used to be one of the most exciting topics of the early years of UFO research: the moment when the objects that have so captivated our interest for fifty years ceased to be "lights in the sky" and became objects - solid, semisolid, transparent - that touched the surface of our world and left behind measurable effects.

USAF: East coast 'Bright light' not man-made object

Washington - The flashing lights and booming sounds that were attributed to a piece of orbiting space junk were not the result of a man-made object, according to the United States Air Force.

In an e-mail sent to WTOP, Stefan Bocchino of the USAF Joint Space Operations Center says the "bright light" seen over parts of the East Coast Sunday night was not a result of a man-made space object.

The Joint Space Operations Center tracks more than 19,000 man-made objects in space, but no natural phenomena.

It was first believed that the lights and sounds were caused by space junk related to the Russian rocket Soyuz docking with the International Space Stations Saturday.

England: Bear sighting in Suffolk woods was 'promotional' hoax staged by theatre group

Reports of a brown bear roaming through a Suffolk forest were part of an elaborate hoax dreamed up by a team of actors to promote a play, it has emerged.

Ramblers and dog walkers were urged to take care after bear sightings were reported around Rendlesham Forest near Woodbridge, Ipswich.

But the mystery of the alleged sightings was finally solved as bare-faced theatre bosses admitted they had dreamed the whole thing up.

The Red Rose Chain Theatre Company, who were staging an outdoor summer production of Shakespeare's A Winter's Tale, admitted they were behind the stunt.

Canada: Strange object in the sky

At first he thought it was a UFO, then he thought it was a meteor, but whatever it was Vernon Chiefmoon has never seen anything like it.

Chiefmoon was driving to work Tuesday morning around 6:30 a.m. and caught a white flash through the sky out of the corner of his eye.

"It looked like it was heading over downtown. I wanted to take a picture but suddenly it turned into a green fireball and suddenly exploded into pieces and disappeared," he told Metro.

"I have never seen anything like it."

Russia: Time to settle the "flying saucers" question

Moscow - So do UFOs with little green men inside exist or not? CNN supposedly filmed a UFO moving at a great speed from the right to the left during the inauguration of President Barack Obama. (But those who watched the replay say it was a bird.)

After that, former President Clinton's White House Chief John Podesta, now one of Obama's closest associates, demanded that the thick UFO files be made public.

The number of UFO sightings has dramatically increased in recent times. According to Britain's Ministry of Defense, there were supposedly 285 UFO sightings in the UK in 2008, double the figure for 2007, when the number of alleged UFO sightings was reckoned at 137.

US: Arizona's White Mountain Apache Reservation Bigfoot (Videos)

The following videos are from Channel 3 in Phoenix, Arizona in reference to the reported sightings of the White Mountain Apache Reservation Bigfoot. Now, I realize that Tom Biscardi is in this video and his involvement with the Georgia Bigfoot Hoax is still fresh on everyone's mind. Regardless of that, the reports from this particular reservation are very credible. In fact, I have received many emails and phone calls in reference to these sightings as well as other sightings on native American lands for several years. Below the videos, I have re-posted an incident reported to me last year by Don 'Talks With Owl' Campbell who is of Lakota heritage and has been investigating Bigfoot reports by the Hoopa First Nation in Northern California.

England: London rabbi spooked by ghost

British rabbi complains of 'foreign presence' in his new house; congregation members say ghost belongs to founder of local synagogue

The Rabbinical Centre of Europe tackles complicated halachic questions sent by the rabbis of the continent on a daily basis. But nothing prepared the RCE for a recent query by a London rabbi, who sought the center's help in getting rid of a ghost he said was dwelling in his new residence.

The RCE's Response department in Israel, which provides halachic answers to the questions of European rabbis, was approached by Rabbi Levy Yitzhak Raskin of London on behalf of a fellow rabbi who asked not to be identified.

Unknown object lights up sky in western Canada

People across western Canada - including in Saskatoon - saw an unknown bright object fly through the sky early Tuesday morning.

The object appeared at around 6:30 a.m., according to one witness who was out for a jog on Saskatoon streets. He said it looked like a "lit match" going across the sky from east to west.

Another witness, Cheryl Cook-Taylor, was on her way to work in North Battleford when she saw it.

"It kind of glowed green, and it looked like it was falling very, very quickly," she said. "It just kind of reminded me of a falling star or something."

UNIDENTIFIED flying objects have returned to the Top End.

Alan Ferguson said the UFOs were "buzzing" around his Acacia Hills home earlier this month after he noticed a bright silver flickering object in front of a cloud. He immediately grabbed his camera.

"I fired off about 50 shots," he said. "One of them you can see a circle in the top left hand corner, then five or six shots later it's moved to the right."

Mr Ferguson put Acacia Hills on the international map last year when he first photographed UFOs flying around his home, 50km south of Darwin.
