Russia: Mysterious Deaths of 9 Skiers Still Unresolved

Nine experienced cross-country skiers hurriedly left their tent on a Urals slope in the middle of the night, casting aside skis, food and their warm coats.

Clad in their sleepwear, the young people dashed headlong down a snowy slope toward a thick forest, where they stood no chance of surviving bitter temperatures of around minus 30 degrees Celsius.

Baffled investigators said the group died as a result of "a compelling unknown force" - and then abruptly closed the case and filed it as top secret.

US: Abductees share their stories at UFO Congress

Laughlin - The water was still and reflected the night stars like a giant mirror.

It was August 1976, and four college students had set out into the Maine wilderness for a fishing trip on a lake surrounded by dense forest.

Then one of them spotted a white, round sphere hovering above the water, its surface moving like boiling oatmeal.

"What's the big deal?" one of them thought. "It's just the moon."

But his thought was quickly dismissed.

Three decades later, telling his story during the International UFO Congress Convention, Foltz still gets goosebumps on his arms when he talks about that night. After dozens of TV appearances and lectures, he says it's still painful to remember.

British Flying Saucer Bureau reports increase of sightings

As more and more satellites are sent into orbit from Earth, sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects are also on the up, having risen from 97 in 2006 to 135 in 2007.

Denis Plunkett, of Winterbourne, runs the British Flying Saucer Bureau and says that this number may make up just a fraction of the UFOs in the skies above us, once you take into consideration those sightings that are simply not reported and those that are kept secret by the Ministry of Defence.

"There was an incident in Thornbury recently where a man saw a UFO being pursued by a fighter jet - although the MoD would of course deny this.

"The object was very low to the ground and virtually soundless. The jet, of course, was not!"

The sighting in Thornbury was typical of many of those reported to be seen in the sky in 2007; slow moving, silent craft, often disc- or triangular-shaped, and frequently very low to the ground.

Nova Scotia: Phantom Ship Spotted Once Again

Tatamagouche - When Mathieu Giguere looked across Tatamagouche Bay in mid-January and saw a brightly lit ship it didn't seem like anything out of the ordinary.

The 17-year-old was used to viewing late night harbour cruises on the St. Lawrence River near his home in Sorel-Tracy, Quebec, but soon he realized the bay was blocked by ice causing him to question what he was staring at.

England: Was giant UFO from another dimension?

The following strange intriguing story stems from numerous emails and letters I've received from readers of this column over a space of five years.

Stephen Hodges now runs a successful business in Yorkshire, but he was 22 years of age in March 1977, unemployed, and squatting in a flat with no gas or electricity, atop of the St George's Heights tower-block, Everton.

It was Thursday, March 17, at 1.30pm when Stephen glanced out of his window and saw something his mind couldn't take in for a few moments.

A gigantic cigar-shaped object, which seemed a mile in length, was hanging among the low clouds in the east, over the Fairfield district.

Flashback The Stargate Conspiracy - A Review, analysis, and commentary

As most readers know, we were recently made aware of certain remarks about the Cassiopaean Experiment made by the authors of The Stargate Conspiracy which resulted in a response by us (Ark and Laura). (See: Picknett and Prince on the Cassiopaeans)

In the previous series of comments, in response to such cavalier dismissal by said authors, we made a remark as follows:
Again, I am more disappointed in the work of two of my favorite authors rather than being offended. Nevertheless, to make such comments as they have, in a public forum, without even being aware (obviously) of the totality of the material they are criticizing, its source, its context, and the context of the matters being discussed on these pages (not to mention by whom they are being discussed), is reprehensible demagoguery of the most insidious sort.

We find, in this, the idea that these authors are free and independent thinkers, proponents of remarkable new ideas, and thorough research may have to be revised. We even begin to wonder if they are not part of the "damage control" arm of the very "Stargate Conspiracy" itself? (Even if unconsciously.)
