UFO reports over UK spreading

Reports of strange lights in the skies over Wisbech have sparked interest from across Fenland and even further afield.

In fact one woman from Barnstaple, North Devon, contacted the Citizen after spotting the stories of the 'UFO' sightings on our website: www.fenlandcitizen.co.uk

She was interested in the story where Alison Hunt, of Cherry Road, Wisbech, reported seeing a very bright glowing orange light the size of a 'full moon' over her garden on January 30.

The woman, who didn't want to be named, said her daughter and her husband actually saw two of these objects, which she described as "huge, massive, orange orbs very bright. Both were the size of a full moon."

Flashback Cause of smell not determined: Several Massachusetts classes evacuated because of sewer-like odor

A sewer-like odor from an unidentified source is forcing the evacuation of several classrooms in the lower level of Major Edwards Elementary School.

Principal Thomas M. Caruso said the odor has been intermittent, but is occurring with greater frequency.

"We began noticing it in the late fall - it was faint, and would come and go. Last year, we never noticed it," he said.

Even more troubling than the odor is the difficulty the school is having in identifying the source of the odor.

Mr. Caruso said he has called upon several town departments, the town's sewer contractor and a plumbing contractor to help determine where the odor is coming from, but they have been unsuccessful.

Flashback California, US: Gas odor wafts over Palo Alto, East Palo Alto

Pacific Gas & Electric is investigating the cause of what could be a gas leak that has blanketed a large portion of East Palo Alto and wafted over Palo Alto's Midtown area this evening.

As of 6:45 p.m., gas crews combing the area between University Avenue and Willow Road could not confirm the source of gas, or whether it was indeed a leak. Numerous teams are working with the Menlo Park Fire Protection District to track the source of the gas, said Fire Chief Harold Schapelhouman.

UK: Pilots report UFO sightings

Three pilots were among more than 100 people who reported sightings of UFOs in the UK last year.

The Ministry of Defence took details of 135 events in which strange, unexplained objects were seen in our skies.

The number of unexpected visitors seems to be rising - just 97 were reported in 2006.

A flying saucer was reported in Stafford, Staffordshire, small stationary aircraft in Wirksworth, Derbyshire and a fast moving triangular shaped object in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.

In most of the reports the witness is unidentified but in two cases the file notes that the phenomenon was witnessed by pilots.

UK: Wirksworth UFO fuels rise in sightings

UFOs have once again been spotted in the Dales fueling a report that sightings of strange objects are rising.

The Ministry of Defence has revealed its own X-files for 2007, listing 135 sightings - including a mysterious object in Wirkworth.

Clusters of bright white lights, strange, triangular shaped objects and stationary craft in Wirksworth are just some of a huge surge in sightings reported last year.

And it seems the UK is becoming a more popular destination for aliens as sightings have rocketed from 2006 when just 97 were reported.

US: Whatever is hovering over Erath County, Texas, isn't leaving - UFO reports pouring in

It's clear.

Whatever is hovering over Erath County isn't leaving. UFO reports are pouring in. Two are from original witnesses, and two new ones are coming aboard.

This time there are pictures and video -- Constable Lee Roy Gaitan made sure of it. The following are accounts from Gaitan, Ricky Sorrells, Mac McKinnon, and a source not wishing to be identified.

Note: Gaiten's first sighting was with his eight-year-old son on Jan. 8 when he saw a red glow that faded and then reappeared. Later he said he saw bright white lights that seemed to "bounce around in the sky" and took off at a "blazing speed".

Psychic paid to evict council house ghost

British officials paid a psychic to exorcise a supposed poltergeist from state housing after the distressed occupants said otherwise they would leave and become homeless, a council official said on Tuesday.

Easington Council in County Durham said the family could not be persuaded to stay in the house, and that through paying half the psychic ghosthunter's 120 pound ($235) fee they were saving money as otherwise they would have had to pay for emergency housing.

The Fallon family told reporters they heard banging from the loft, saw items fly across rooms and had doors slammed in their faces. They called police, who found nothing. Then they called in psychic Suzanne Hadwin and asked the council to help pay.

UK Housewife: I saw UFO out of bedroom window

Bright lights which interrupted a quiet night in have convinced a Northampton housewife that they could have been a UFO.

Yvonne Underwood, 51, contacted the Chronicle & Echo after bright lights flashed outside her Turnberry Lane bedroom in Collingtree Park, Northampton on the evening of Sunday, February 3.

She said: "My husband and I had gone to bed to watch Calendar Girls and then at about 9.30pm I saw these bright lights outside my window which looks directly on to the golf course.

"I jumped to the window to look out but they had gone. The strangest thing was there was no noise at all, so it couldn't have been a plane or a helicopter.

Law Officers Describe Unidentified Shape-Shifting Aerial Craft in Stephenville, Texas, Region

"The police officer said this huge thing in the sky turns toward the east, but it is no longer horizontal. It's vertical. And he says it is traveling at a low rate of speed and he cannot believe it was able to stay in the air after it turned vertical."
- Lee Roy Gaitan, Constable, Erath County, Dublin, Texas

Stephenville and Dublin, Texas - I was in Dublin, Stephenville, Brownwood and Glen Rose, Texas, between January 29 and February 1, to see for myself videotapes, photos, and drawings of the unusual aerial lights, craft and plasmas that have been reported by dozens of residents there since New Year's Day. In the first week of February 2008, there have also been reports of two more disc-shaped aerial lights and more unusual spherical plasmas at the infrared deer feeder cameras in Brownwood. At the center of many of the local investigations is Lee Roy Gaitan, the Erath County Constable in Precinct 2, Dublin, Texas. Lee Roy has been Constable about four years and a police officer for seventeen years. Not only is he investigating, he and his son were eyewitnesses themselves to remarkable aerial lights on January 8, 2008.

Lee Roy lives with his wife, son and daughter just south of Dublin. On Tuesday, January 8th, around 7 PM local time, he had walked out to his car to get a credit card so the family could rent a Direct TV movie. The 43-year-old Dublin law enforcement Constable told me that in all his life he had never seen such strange flashing and colors of lights in the sky.

US: More twists in the Stephensville UFO witness saga

Answers.

Ricky Sorrells just wants answers. And, in light of what he's been through, it doesn't seem to be a lot to ask.

Witnessing an unidentified flying object four times since the beginning of the new year, then having military aircraft whizzing over his land and disrupting his sleep and livestock, followed by a string of mysterious phone calls and in person encounters from individuals demanding he "shut up" about what he saw, and landing unexpectedly in the international spotlight, has taken a toll on the 37-year-old man accustomed to the simple life.

"If you told me a while back that I would be sitting here talking to you about UFOs I would have said, 'No way, not in a million years," Sorrells said. " Now, I know for the rest of my life I'll keep looking to find out what it was."
