US: UFO witnesses report from six states

Witnesses from six states are reporting UFOs shaped as diamonds, rods, discs and triangles - and a new witness to the Dec. 9, 1965 Kecksburg, Pennsylvania UFO crash comes forward for the first time. Witness reports follow from around the country.

Ohio- Feb. 17, 2009 - A woman spotted a diamond-shaped UFO for the second time flying slowly over a nearby school. The airborne vehicle was apparently controlled - able to remain stationary, and then move slowly - and altered its lighting as it accelerated, and sported a series of red, green and white blinking lights.

The following is an unedited account from the Mutual UFO Network database. The illustration on this page, cropped, was submitted by the witness.

Taiwan: UFO photo declared real by expert

A UFO snapped at a popular tourist day-trip destination in Taiwan has been declared the real thing by that country's foremost UFO expert.

A Mr Cai and his family were out at the Tatachai Pass scenic area in the Nantou region this new year (Jan 1 2009) when they and some other people noticed what appeared to them to be flying saucer in the sky near a small mountain. Mr Cai's 5 year old son took a photo of the object.

Mr Jiang Huang Rong, Chairman of the UFO association of Taiwan, who openly concedes that the majority of UFO photos are hoaxes or incorrectly identified objects, thinks this photo is genuine based on analysis he has done comparing the object in question to other photos snapped by unconnected people in the same area, in Taiwan, and throughout the world.

US: Call center may move if odor source not found

Indiana, Pennsylvania - The Unemployment Compensation Call Center in White Township may be moving to a new location if the building's landlord doesn't get to the bottom of a mysterious odor in the building by early March.

Troy Thompson, a spokesman for the Department of Labor and Industry, said officials sent a letter Feb. 6 to the building's landlord, Capital Venture Properties Inc. in Hollidaysburg, stating that the company had 30 days to correct the problem or the department would default on its 10-year lease set to expire Aug. 31, 2011, for untenable conditions. Labor and Industry entered the lease agreement on Sept. 1, 2001, for the building at 630 Kolter Drive.

Inspectors have been working since October to determine the origin of a smell that has permeated the building on and off, causing eye, nose and throat irritations, headaches, nausea and other symptoms for employees.

Can you identify this huge paw print?

The marking was discovered in a bunker at a Gravesend golf course - and has left the finders puzzled.

The question now is whether it was left by the elusive black panther believed to be roaming north Kent, pranksters - or some other exotic creature.

The large tracks were discovered by golfer Paul Bowles in a sand bunker.

The 28-year-old, of Wrotham Road, Gravesend was playing a round of golf with friends at Southern Valley Golf Club on Saturday, February 14, when they spotted the set of footprints by the seventh and 11th hole.

Comment: Whether the above photo is a hoax or not, the print shown does not seem to be a leopard or puma print.

You can see a cougar print here and a leopard print here.

Till Wöhler is as down-to-earth as you could expect of any German who stands almost 2 meters tall. The China.org.cn journalist is an experienced photographer who is familiar with the night skies. On Monday night he spotted something in the evening sky over Beijing that caught his interest, and for which as yet he has no satisfactory explanation. Here he tells his story in his own words...

"Clear evening skies over the Chinese capital are a relatively rare occurrence, and with the intrusive light pollution for the most part the stars can barely be distinguished. The brightest object in the night sky, the moon, is not visible at the moment.

A strange object in the sky Wednesday afternoon over a wood debris storage area on Old Mill Road caused a Lufkin man and his wife to call local authorities asking for answers.

"It didn't look like no plane," said Jerome Gardner, who lives across the street. "It was amazing, I've never seen anything like it."

Gardner said he was skeptical at first when his wife, Yolanda, told him about the large, round object hovering over the field at the former site of the Louisiana-Pacific paper mill.

But after looking at the object in the sky, Gardner quickly found himself climbing onto his roof to get a closer look.

"I freaked out and just thought, 'What in the world is that?'" he said.
