LondonFrom Gerry Lovell 4-28-99A passenger jet's crew
have reported a close encounter with an unidentified flying object.They said that they noticed an "incandescent" light below their Debonair BAe 146 as it headed over the North Sea from Sweden to Humberside.Then, they added, a long cylindrical silver-coloured object the size of a battleship flew alongside. The British plane's shocked captain saw what seemed to be rows of square portholes on the UFO before it vanished at "enormous speed".The crew told the Defence Ministry about their sighting. An RAF radar station tracked the object, which was seen from three other planes.Extraordinary UFO Film Taken In UNITED KINGDOMThe following sighting report with video was sent exclusively to the UFO Casebook, USA. The information was shared with UFO Casebook Field Investigator Michael, who resides in the United Kingdom.The video files that are shown here were taken in Leyland, Lancashire, U. K. The film was made between 16:15 and 17:05 hours on 16 Nov 2003. The videographer Martin H. has sent very impressive film before to the UFO Casebook. Our field investigator has found him to be an honest and sincere man who is not in any way or form attemptimg to perpetuate a hoax or initiate a joke. He has never asked for any monies for his film, but has sent digital video files through the internet, and also hand given physical video tape for free use for study. The video film in its entirety is 8:13 long; is in the Windows Media format (.wmv) and is 25.15 megabytes. A sample clip of film is enclosed for your study. Below is Martin's description of how the taking of the video film in question transpired.I decided to have a look at the early evening sky, camcorder at ready just in case. At about 16:15, I first spotted the unknown object quite a way off in the distance (through binoculars and spotting scope). It took me around 20 minutes before I could zoom in with the camcorder to start filming. The sky was quite clear with just a few wispy clouds here and there. The distance is quite difficult to judge but I would say that the object is possibly around 10 to 15 miles away. I was on my own this time with no other witnesses and with the distance involved, I couldn't hear any sound emanating from the object. All in all, I managed to film around 20 or so minutes before the object disappeared behind a cloud in the distance. The object went behind the cloud at around 17:05.Martin H.UFO CasebookLeyland, Lancashire, U.K. Sightings, August 2002Note:
.Leyland, Lancashire, United Kingdom.Tuesday 20th August 2002The UFO Casebook has received a compelling account of several sightings of an anomalous object which was videotaped in Leyland, Lancashire, United Kingdom. The witness has given a detailed account of these sightings, and sent along several extraordinary video clips of two unique unknown flying objects, which appear to interact with one another. There were also two corroborating witnesses to the sightings. At least for the time being, the main witness will go by the name of Martin H.My girlfriend and I were doing the evening dishes in the kitchen when she spotted what looked like a bright star in the early evening sky. She pointed this out to me and it being early evening about 20:20 hours, there were no other stars visible. I ran upstairs and grabbed my camcorder (Sony with 80X digital zoom) After several attempts I finally managed to zoom in on the object. When I looked at it, I couldn't believe my eyes.I zoomed in for a 4th time but this time with the camera recording and just after I had zoomed in, a black/grey saucer shaped craft moved from left to right behind the UFO which I had originally followed. This was only for a few seconds. I then returned my focus to the main object. It was an oval shape with a green metallic top and red bottom and the middle of the object seemed like an extremely bright plasma light which pulsated every now and then.The object was moving quite slowly and deliberately. I carried on filming until the object finally disappeared behind the roofline of a row of houses at the back. I would say that the object was approximately 20 miles away heading over towards the Irish sea somewhere between Blackpool and Southport. I checked the local media out for the following few days but couldn't find any reference to any other reports that week. There were no other aircraft (Military or otherwise) in the area and because of the distance involved I couldn't hear any sound emanating from the object.I filmed the whole sequence from an upstairs bedroom window, my girlfriend could only see what appeared to be a very bright slowly moving star, as she was looking at it with the naked eye. A rough estimate regarding the height; I think it started out at approx. 3 to 4 thousand feet and looked like it descended to approx. 2 to 2 and a half thousand feet.Sunday 26th August 2002I had telephoned my brother (along with a whole host of friends) to tell them about the UFOs I had filmed, and my brother came around on the Sunday to view the video. After watching the video we went out into the back garden for some fresh air and I pointed out the area where I had filmed the objects adding that the evening sky looked exactly the same as it did then. I joked with my brother saying that I had a feeling that the object would come back again.I was just about to go back inside when I spotted it again, I couldn't believe my luck and I don't think my brother could quite believe it either. I rushed inside and grabbed a pair of binoculars for my brother so he could continue to view it from the back garden, I had the camcorder set up in no time at all and managed to film 25 minutes. Approximately 14 minutes into the filming my brother shouted up asking if I had the object in view."Why? I asked.""Because there is something approaching the object," he exclaimed excitedly.From left to right a cigar shaped craft slowly passed behind the object, which I followed until it began to fade. Then I went back to the main object. After it had disappeared behind the roofline, we immediately set up and watched the film all the way through and couldn't believe it when the cigar shaped object appeared.Testimony of brother, Andrew H.I went to Martin's house with the sole purpose of viewing the video tape of the first sighting that he had. When we had finished, we went outside as it was a warm evening. Suddenly, the object appeared again. I didn't want to take my eyes off it, so my brother went inside for some binoculars for me so that I could have a closer look.What I saw amazed me. It was a very bright and slow moving object which pulsed at regular intervals. We observed it for quite a while, during which time it was approached by a smaller grey object which seemed to fly past it at great speed before disappearing totally from sight.I was a little sceptical before that day, but I now know there is another world out there.Kind regards, Andy H.During the following few weeks I managed to film the object two more times and have approximately 1 to 2 hours of video. I have seen UFOs before in Holland (Where I used to live) and in Croatia (On holiday) but didn't have a camcorder until quite recently.Lancashire has quite a rich history regarding UFOs and just recently I have on 3 separate occasions spotted a different sort of UFO which only seems to appear for a few seconds before vanishing completely...I am going to set up my camcorder to film the area of sky involved and see what develops.(Martin H.)2004-Unknown Object Filmed Near Sunderland, in U KDate - June, 2004, Location-Small Town near city of Sunderland (UK)-Time - 21:30pm, Shape - Light Ball, Direction - Toward ground came from the South, Temp - 10-15 degreesAccount of the Sighting - I was walking my dog late at night in June, 2004 cannot remember exact date. I was walking toward the entrance of my street when I saw in a south direction a Light Ball coming toward me it was far away from my location I looked at it and thought it was just a helicopter because we do sometimes get many helicopters in my area.I did not take much notice of it. I then got to the entrance of my street the light was getting closer the motion of the light was very slow but I noticed something that ruled out the possibility of it being a helicopter because there was no sound and it's not normal for helicopters to be silent. I carried on going down my street and just looked on at the craft coming towards me. I got to the house and the light was nearly to my location.I put the dog in my house and looked up at the object, at this time I knew I had to do something, so I went inside very quickly and got my camera. On the way to get my camera I alerted my parents and said there was a UFO. I don't think they heard me I said it so quick. I rushed out and the light was above my house and as I took a picture the object, it blasted downwards and left a small light trail. I went back inside and my parents were still downstairs (my house has two floors but you enter the top floor first and then as you go in there are stairs going down).I asked my parents to come and take a look at my picture and they were amazed at what was on the picture. I have enclosed the picture of the light. It's a really good close up picture and you can really see what I saw was so strange.Thanks a lot to Sam for sending us his report and photograph.Eyewitness report, Sam Willeysource and references:Report & Photographs © Sam WilleyStaffordshire
