Latest Reports Of UFO Sightings

This is probably the archive film they refer to, featuring two well-known figures in BUFORA.

The incidents on September 2nd were part of a series of sightings at Bentilee over several days. Here's the one on August 31st (the same day as the Cussac case in France!) from NICAP's chronology for 1967:



This was all a few weeks before the well-known "Flying Cross" flap, discussed elsewhere.
H'mm. . . things haven't changed much since that time then!
 

Italian Air Force Releases UFO Annual Report 2023​

Since 1978, the Italian Air Force has been investigating sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and has been publishing annual reports and their investigations on 2001.

"However, for both of these sightings, the department could not find a conventional explanation, “which is why the sightings were also cataloged as OVNI.”.

  • In the first case, on February 2, 2023, at 12:28 p.m., a metallic, reflective, and self-rotating sphere was sighted over Pesaro, moving quickly in an easterly direction under clear skies. In conclusion, it is explained: “Based on the available data used for the investigations, there are no matches between what was reported and known flight activities or other known phenomena. Only a radio probe was launched from San Pietro Campofiume at 12 p.m. The event was cataloged as OVNI.”

  • In the second case, on May 14, 2023, at 9:58 p.m., a whitish luminous, fluorescent cylindrical object was observed floating slowly from west to east, high in the clear sky over Torricella in Sabina. In conclusion, it is also explained: “Based on the available data used for the investigations, there are no matches between what was reported and known flight activities or other known phenomena. The event was cataloged as OVNI.”"

An earlier case from Bentilee:

177.
Location. Bentilee Estate Stoke on Trent England
Date: September 2 1967
Time: 0130A
Barbara Ward, awakened by her baby, glanced out her window and saw, in the adjacent field, a very bright yellow object with an orange light on top, in the shape of an inverted saucer. It appeared to be on, or just above the ground, and its light appeared to fluctuate in intensity. She could hear no sound, although she was behind the glass window. She reported to the investigators that she "half imagined" she could see shadowy figures moving to and fro in front of the bright object during the half hour she had observed it, but she could not be sure they were not just illusions caused by her straining to look at the object. After watching for half an hour she became tired and bored and went back to bed. The object had not moved during her observation. Examination of the field subsequently failed to reveal any traces. This sighting occurred during a spate of independent UFO incidents in the same area.

Sounds a bit like a tent illuminated from within by 1960s battery torches?

Sounds a bit like it.

Here's one from the evening of the 2nd (assume the above is early morning of the 2nd) and which is probably the series of sightings discussed in the ATV film.

Sept. 2, 1967; Bentilee, Stoke-On-Trent, Staffordshire, England
9:15 p.m. LT (5:15 p.m. EDT). Several witnesses watched an orange disc with bright red glowing dome as it flew low overhead and apparently landed in a field about 400 yards away. No sound was heard, but one witness felt "wind" as it passed overhead. A fiery glow was seen in the field at the apparent landing site. Police were called, but the light disappeared. Later police and others saw a luminous object rise from the field, hover, then disappear "in a fraction of a second." A complex case with many facets

To me this sounds a little like people launching fire balloons.
 
Note also the timing of these sightings: right at the end of the school holidays! September 2nd was a Saturday night.

While this doesn't prove anything one way or the other, it does perhaps point towards certain psychosocial factors. The location - easily accessible, open, scrubby fields adjacent to a housing estate, they're still there by the looks of it - also has the feel of one of those areas kids would go to horse about and let off steam.
 
I am not familiar with this UFO sighting in Bentlilee but according to the BBC article dozens of people were terrorized by UFOs.

Obviously this UFO invasion was so traumatic, a play is being written and performed in front of people.

This is more evidence of UFOs being real.
 
Canada’s top science adviser, Mona Nemer, said Canada will release their UFO report this summer that should be a surprising read.

Mildly diverting green-lit thing, or things, filmed from a cruise ship off the coast of Mexico. Birds? Drones?
Too fast for a drone, so I'd guess a bird or an insect.

The green light is only apparent in the stills extracted from the clip, so may be an artifact of the camera; or the object might be illuminated by coloured lights emanating from the ship itself. Note that the top deck of the ship is lit up with blue and pink lighting - it is quite possible that other decks are illuminated with other colours, including green.
 
The problem I have with this situation is that the soldiers have a commercial drone which when I checked on Amazon which sells a wide range of Mavic drones in all price ranges.

I would assume these soldiers would have military issued drones not commercial drones.

So, we don’t know if these soldiers are dress up fakes, and the whole thing is a fake sit up.

Then on the other hand that is what UFOs do which is “ lurk “.
Ukrainian soldiers are using any drones they can get, commercial or not.
 
This is a good one:

Air Force Pilot’s Bizarre Encounter With Capsule-Like Craft Off Florida Declassified​

https://www.twz.com/air/air-force-p...h-capsule-like-craft-off-florida-declassified
 
Lots of bizarre details about this one. Four objects were detected on radar, but only one was seen; it did not seem to have any means of propulsion, and was drifting with the wind - so may have been a balloon. The details are very sketchy and second-hand, but it seems to have been a fairly large object, maybe as big as a car or bus. A big balloon, then.

Hot air balloons used for recreational flights are not allowed above 3000 feet, and this seems too high for a chinese lantern (despite being approximately the same colour - grey and orange). So if it is a balloon it might be some kind of hobbyist balloon, which are fairly commonplace above the US.

Another puzzling thing is that the pilot is said to have used his 'sensors to obtain a screen capture' of the object. What form did this 'screen capture' take, and why can't we see it instead of this badly-spelled drawing?
 
The bit that interested me was the "blurry air" comment - if that was a correct representation of what was seen. "Blurry air" suggests heat distortion, which again might suggest some form of hot air balloon.
 
The only thing with even a big home made hot air balloon is that 16,000 feet seems very high. A small fire balloon would be lucky to make 1,000 feet. But really the only reason for thinking 'hot air' is as a neater explanation for the 'red / illuminated' part of the description.

If we're not restricted by the hot air thing, then it's very easy to build a solar balloon from everyday materials that will reach much, much higher than that (including a small payload).

https://bovineaerospace.wordpress.com/category/launch-reports/solar-balloons/

Note also the colour resulting from the final step, an application of charcoal:

Throw a generous quantity of air float charcoal into the open end, and shake it all the way through the balloon. The charcoal is so fine it will coat the interior of the balloon, changing it from white to dirty gray.
 
The 'blurry air' phenomenon would be difficult to see at 16000 feet, especially since the 'balloon' was approximately stationary and the jet moving past at hundreds of miles per hour.

A couple of vaguely similar events have occurred involving US jets and balloons off the south-east coast of the US; one involved the astronaut Scott Kelly flying a jet plane - his RIO back seat officer saw a UAP flying past, and they went back to take another look, and saw it was a toy Bart Simpson balloon. Another sighting involved a Navy pilot who photographed an object with his smart phone - that one was eventually identified as a Batman balloon.

So balloons are quite frequently seen in this area, and misinterpreted.
 
Watch: Triangular UFO Spotted in Slovakia:

"This footage was captured in Ružinov which is a borough of Bratislava, Slovakia On March 14, 2024 just before 11pm. The footage was taken by ufoslovakia who is an Amateur UFO enthusiast who films and shares what he see and in this footage he has filmed this "Triangular" shaped craft flying above him. From the footage it would suggest that this could be one huge object as opposed to it being three separate objects."

Seems to be quite a number of other objects passing through shot too?
 
The above article mentions the theory of UFO bases in the Gulf of Mexico underwater.

I remember when I was younger in 1987 there was a big UFO “ flap “ in 1987 that Gulf Breeze, Florida on the Gulf of Mexico was being invaded by UFOs.

The whole thing was greatly push along by information from Ed Walters and his photos and the local newspaper.

Supposedly all was claimed as a hoax as UFO models were found in Ed’s house.

Strangely MUFON claimed all was true as mass sightings of UFOs at different locations on the Gulf were reported.
