Kolkata - An unidentified flying object blipped on the city radar in the wee hours of Thursday, a little after mysterious objects were photographed hovering in the London sky. The blip that lasted for 15 minutes on the Bay of Bengal left airport and IAF officials foxed. While some suspect an unscheduled aircraft strayed into Indian airspace, others termed it a UFO. The Directo-rate General of Civil Aviation has ordered an investigation.
The unidentified aircraft or object was spotted on the airport radar at 3.45 am on Thursday. Sources said there was only a Cathay Pacific overflight scheduled for the time and in that direction. "But the flight showed a separate blip. What's more, we had communication problems with the Cathay Pacific pilot during the time the mystery blip was on screen," said an air controller.

Lights in a triangular shape were witnessed over Michigan City, Indiana. The object hovered while the man struggled to get his camera to capture the event and he finally snapped one shot as it moved out of sight.
A California sighting is described by a witness as looking like an "upside-down shiny metal plate." The object finally "shot away."
In South Burlington, Vermont, a witness watched a "distinct circle of yellow light" make an "extremely fast trajectory towards the ground." Just down the road he observed "about a dozen police cars pulled off the road into a field with all lights off" from several different surrounding towns.

Twentynine Palms Marine Corps Base is about 60 miles directly west of this area.
A family bar-b-que was interrupted as the object made its first pass over the city while four jets trailed "an enormous craft clustered of dozens of amber lights/orbs." The witness said "we could all make out the triangle/boomerang shape because of the stars being blocked out as it passed them and by the small, very faint reddish glow or light at the tip of the 'wing.'"

The photographs were taken in the early hours of Sunday, February 7.
"I took several photos just after 12.20 am, following a heavy downpour of hail. The strange hazy light appears in several of the photos, but I cannot explain what it is and it doesn't seem to form the shape of an aeroplane or helicopter," explained Loy, who was staying at a holiday home in the town.
A new sighting has been made of the mysterious big black cat said to prowl north Norfolk.
In recent weeks there have been reported sightings of the panther-like animal near Aylsham and Aylmerton and now the beast has been spotted in North Elmham.

Further, startling evidence of a big cat stalking deer on Cannock Chase has emerged this week.
A photo taken by Richie Cooper near the Birches Valley Road is the latest in a series of dead deer to be found on our doorstep.
Too graphic for The Post to publish, the photo shows the stricken animal with a large bite taken out of its throat, leading Richie to believe rumours of the Chase Panther could be rooted in fact.
He came across the deer when walking his dog on March 14.

Now Jo Heighway wants to know if any one else spotted the suspected UFOs around midnight on Saturday.
Miss Heighway explained the objects were glimpsed above The Triangle.
She said: "My eldest sister had gone up to get changed for bed and something caught her eye out of her bedroom window. Me and my youngest sister quickly followed her out to the back door of our conservatory as she pointed towards the horizon.

Walking shadows.
People across the globe have reported seeing these black, two-dimensional, human shapes stalk the bedrooms and hallways of their homes. Sometimes these Shadow People ignore you, sometimes they pay all too much attention, but they are always sinister.
Although there are many theories as to what they are - ghosts, demons, aliens - there is one thing for certain regarding these walking shadows. They're a mystery.
"I've seen them three times," an anonymous poster to 'From The Shadows' wrote. "Two times in the daytime with my sister, and once by myself at night. What really is it?"

Comment: As usual, comments to the above article are deriding and insulting to the intelligence. Responding that all of these sightings have turned out to be chinese lanterns, which is a false statement. Although there have been quite a few that were chinese lanterns, not all of them are.
It would seem that the latest excuse for sightings of orange or yellow lights in the sky is doing what it was meant to do, keep those who don't want to see what is really going on from thinking critically, asking questions, but just believing what they are told. Even when there is evidence to the contrary. Such as the orbs being bigger than a small airplane, or doing aerial maneuvers, going against the wind, etc. there are still those who believe that it's just those chinese lanterns.
