UK: There's something weird up there...

Strange lights glowing in the sky over Exeter have left residents bemused, confused and feeling slightly silly.

Many people have now come forward after the Echo highlighted the first sighting this week - from a woman afraid nobody would believe her.

In fact, the report prompted a host of calls from residents right across the city who have seen something odd and are now not afraid to talk about it.

Just hours after the Echo reported on a bizarrely lit circular object seen over Redhills, another reader has said she saw something odd the day before, over Peterborough Close, Exwick.

She said: "I am an ordinary, 58-year-old housewife and I know what I saw was not an aeroplane.

"I was looking out of my window towards Haldon when I saw an unusual orange light.

"I got my binoculars and went out on the balcony. The object was over Haldon and coming towards me. It was circular in shape and had lots of lashing strobe-like lights with a darker feature that seemed to change shape within the light."

My close encounter with UFOs over Islington, UK

Surreal photos capture what one man believes are visitors from outer space darting through the skies above Islington - the second UFO spotting in the borough this year.

He claims he saw a floating orb and a triangle shaped craft hovering above the Angel in broad daylight.

Non-Extraordinary Reactions to Extraordinary Things

Recently (October 18) the Democrat Herald, out of Albany, Oregon, carried a story about a couple who reported seeing a UFO.

However, I'm not so much interested in the UFOs itself (for now) as I am the reactions of some who think there's nothing to report.

The couple, Raye and Derral Laufer, were outside their home, having a smoke (no lame dope jokes please) and were treated to a UFO sighting:
two long, silver, bullet-shaped objects flying side-by-side across the sky. Neither object had lights or made a sound, Raye said, and they soon split up: One headed east, the other toward the northeast.

Jerry Buginsky of New Haven Township, outside Owosso, stands in a mysterious, 15-foot, crop circle that appeared in his soybean field.

In 45 years of farming, Jerry Buginsky had never seen anything like it.

While cutting a field planted in clover, he noticed an odd-looking circle of dead vegetation about two feet wide.

"I paced it off in different directions," Buginsky said. "It was 10 feet in diameter on the inside, 12 feet on the outside. Everything in that (band) was dead -- the weeds, the clover, everything."

Queensland invaded by UFOs

Queenslanders are leading reporters of unidentified flying objects, with more than 100 of the 128 recorded official sightings around Australia in the past two years coming from the Sunshine State.

And according to a Queensland UFO specialist, while many sightings were ruled out as stars, planets, meteors and planes, a "significant number" remained unexplained.

UFO Research Queensland's Lee Paqui said the state's hotspots for sightings included the Glass House Mountains, Toowoomba, Warwick, Ipswich and the far north.

"The most common sightings are the orange balls, and white balls that look like stars but move and display very erratic behaviour, like they'll make right-hand turns," she said.
