On Thursday July 2 at around 8.30pm thousands of residents of the Chinese city of Chengdu witnessed a UFO moving across the sky above their homes. This is being treated as a massive UFO event by Chinese news outlets.

Photo (at right) and a video (below) have already surfaced.

Xinhua, China's government news agency, reported that thousands of residents ran from their homes, even in pajamas, to see the bizarre and unexplainable craft. Many were subsequently seen debating the event for hours after the UFO disappeared.

The pulsating UFO was described by witnesses as being a luminous blue color that changed to red from time to time.

It was still and after a minute it became 3 then 4 then 5 then 6 in a cluster and each seemed oval. They did not move for about 30 seconds and then started to descend slightly and then disappeared. Total time elapsed during the sighting was over 2 minutes. My husband witnessed it also. It is illegal to shoot aerial fireworks on our area, but before this occurred there were poppers evident. There were none at the time of the sighting.

England: Ampfield, Romsey - Two Bright Orange Lights, One of Them Changing Directions


UK UFO Sighting Reports
Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:47 UTC
Posted: July 3, 2009

Date of Sighting: 27th June 2009
Time: 22:50

Witness Statement: Driving home from Basingstoke we saw two bright orange lights appearing to the right of the moon. Both my husband and I asked each other 'what's that'? They were moving at what seemed to be helicopter height and speed. As we live off this main road we lost sight of them for a couple of minutes and then saw one of them again. It had changed direction and came towards us (south). By this time we had got out out of the car, gone indoors and grabbed my camera. Grrrrr the damn battery was flat. I did manage to get one pic though although even on mega zoom it still only looks like an orange ball.

England: Worsley, Manchester - Orange Ball the Size of a Helicopter


UK UFO Sighting Reports
Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:18 UTC
Posted: July 3, 2009

Date of Sighting: 1st July 2009
Time: 10.30pm approx

Witness Statement: I was sat watching a bit of tv in the living room after just coming in from the garden when I saw this orange ball about the size of say a helicopter. It looked like it was on fire like a lantern, but it was traveling the speed of aircraft that fly over my house on the approach to the airport.

I said to my partner 'now that's a ufo if ever I saw one so she came to have a look and she seem pretty baffled by it also. I would say the object was traveling in a constant North North-Westerly direction maintaining the same height until it went through the clouds.

Has anyone else seen anything similar, please don't hesitate to contact me of my son if you have seen these objects or something similar in the area. Many thanks

Nancy Talbott's Letter to National Geographic TV's Mr. Sydney Suissa

Nancy Talbott

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 15:18 UTC
Tom Barry, a British filmmaker working for Zig-Zag Productions in London, called me in May, 2009, asking about the possibility of my participation in a new crop circle film he had been assigned to produce for National Geographic TV. Mr. Barry was apparently unaware that National Geographic TV has aired several crop circle pieces in the past and that I - representing the BLT Research Team--had been involved in one that aired in 2005. He seemed uninformed regarding the circle phenomenon generally, and apparently did not know that I had been very surprised by the overtly biased treatment accorded the scientific work (previously published in 3 peer-reviewed scientific papers authored by BLT members) in the 2005 National Geographic TV crop circle show (Link).

I told Mr. Barry that I felt that both the phenomenon and our work had been inordinately misrepresented and, therefore, asked him if he could provide me with assurance that his proposed effort would be a fair and unbiased presentation? Specifically, I asked him if he could provide me with a "final cut" of his film prior to its being aired - along with the written assurance that I would have the right to withdraw my interview and any graphic materials provided by me or BLT if I felt the final product was either willfully skewed or disrespectful of the BLT work or, in particular, the scientists involved.

Flashback Comments on National Geographic's 'Beyond the Mystery' Crop Circle Show (2005)

Nancy Talbott

Mon, 04 Jul 2005 15:18 UTC
Another "documentary" on the crop circle phenomenon has recently been aired here in the U.S., this one under the auspices of the well-known National Geographic organization. Since it is generally expected that this organization will provide accurate, comprehensive information (when such is available) to the public and present opinions which reflect actual scientific inquiry --and since these standards have eluded this production -- I felt I should write what I know about the making of this show.

In the spring of 2004 an independent TV producer called me saying that he had been hired by National Geographic to produce a crop circle show; he said that he knew little about the subject and wanted to learn about the scientific approach to the phenomenon, requesting whatever information I could provide. We had a long talk, in which I outlined the BLT Research Team's work over the years, providing for him all of the names, credentials and contact information for the many professional scientists involved--people I strongly urged him to contact. In addition to providing info about BLT we also discussed many other people and organizations which take, or have taken, a serious approach to the study of the phenomenon in several different countries. And these names and contact info were also supplied, with strong encouragement that the producer contact these people.

The UFO Traffic Report for Friday, July 3, 2009, includes 11 selected sightings over eight states, according to witness statements filed in the past 48 hours with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.

Today's stories include: Two cases over Missouri and Arizona where witnesses claim similarities to the Phoenix Lights case; typical Bright Light cases over Colorado and Missouri; a low flying Orb over Florida; disc or circular objects over California and New York; low flying cigar-shaped objects over California and Pennsylvania; and a retired National Guardsman who describes an unusual Bright Light.

Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If MUFON investigates and reports back on any of these cases, I will update this page.

The following reports and their headlines are unedited. You can read my selected cases by type of UFO report at the UFO Traffic Report index page.
