Sat, 12 Sep 2009 22:57 UTC
Posted: Sept. 12, 2009

Date of Sighting: 12/09/09
Time: 00:35

Witness Statement: At approx. half-past 12 my stepdad was outside when he called me to come outside and to look in the sky. When I looked up there was about 8-10 circular white lights racing round in the sky and grouping up in the same spot again. They kept separating and joining back up. After a while these lights split up in to two groups and shot off in two different directions. We then eventually spotted one on its own at the back of my house going round in a circle but it was more faded than the others.. my friend also just told me he saw it too! Anybody else see this?

England: Ashton-under-Lyne - Three extremely bright lights


UK UFO Sightings
Sat, 12 Sep 2009 22:57 UTC
Posted: Sept. 12, 2009

Date of Sighting: 11/09/2009
Time: 22.00

Witness Statement: I opened the patio doors tonight and stepped outside onto the patio and saw 3 extremely bright lights (star like) very high in the sky moving slowly towards the North from the South. I called my wife and we both acknowledged that this was not a normal everyday sighting, passenger jets etc could not have been involved as they would not be permitted to fly so close together. They were moving in perfect formation and of equal brightness, on closer inspection the UFO had 2 or 3 other dimmer lights kind of skirting the large triangle shape.

The witness first saw the object while driving along Arizona Highway 87 near the Gila Indian Reservation at 6:15 p.m., but then continued the observation in Coolidge.

The object was described as "significantly brighter than anything else appearing in the northern sky at this time," and initially a bright "clean" white light.

The object's color changed to an orange/yellow, then to orange, then to red - all over a 25 to 40 minute period.

A 1992 interview with the late, great chronicler of the strange
Long ago, in days of yore, I was part of a team which called itself the Independent UFO Network. As well as producing the best UFO magazine in the business (UFO Brigantia), the IUN staged a series of successful conferences in Sheffield that showcased some of the biggest names in world UFOlogy, including Bill Moore, Stan Friedman, Budd Hopkins and Jenny Randles. But for the conference we organised in August 1992 we had the biggest name of all: American journalist and author John A. Keel. As far as I know this was his one and only UK appearance.

Ever since I was a child I had been a fan of his writings, particularly his account of investigating the bizarre "Mothman" and sinister Men In Black flap in West Virginia during 1966-67. Although Keel's presentation at the IUN conference was centred upon that modern UFO cause célèbre, Roswell, rather than the anticipated Mothman, it gave us the opportunity to interview the man we felt had been one of the key influences of a UFOlogical generation. The transcript of the interview that follows was originally published in UFO Brigantia, issue 53/54, 1992. - - David Clarke
Ever since I was about 11 years old and read Keel's first book, Jadoo, I was obsessed by him. I later found out that others felt like that too. He's one of the few people to have revolutionized how we think about ufology and strange phenomena generally, and I'd long wanted him to speak at a UK UFO conference.

Although debilitated by jetlag, the effects of diabetes and the unwanted attentions of the Men in Black from BUFORA, Keel still managed to give a stirring speech to the troops which left many people leaving the hall shaking their heads and muttering, "That's wiped the floor with Bill Moore's explanation for Roswell." This was the first time he had ever publicly spoken in the UK. I spoke to Keel at length over the three days he spent in Sheffield and learned many things, some of which I agreed with, some of which I didn't. But what struck me overall was Keel's grasp of ufology, his perspective, and his sense of humour. When the conference was over, I managed to get a 'formal' interview with John - here it is:

The ancient statues have giant red hats
Archaeologists believe they have solved one ancient mystery surrounding the famous Easter Island statues.

At 2,500 miles off the coast of Chile, the island is one of the world's most remote places inhabited by people.

Up to 1,000 years ago, the islanders started putting giant red hats on the statues.

The research team, from the University of Manchester and University College London, think the hats were rolled down from an ancient volcano.

Dr Colin Richards and Dr Sue Hamilton are the first British archaeologists to work on the island since 1914.

They pieced together a series of clues to discover how the statues got their red hats. An adze, a road, and an ancient volcano led to their findings.
