MUFON CMS - Mesa, Arizona - December 13, 2010 - unedited: For past 2 days in Mesa, AZ which today will make it the third day, I been observing this faint white and round object that seemed to just appear in the sky around 1315 hours. The object could easily be overlooked especially with sunglasses on or if you were directly in the sun. Once your eyes has adjusted, the object can be seen and sometimes with no difficulties. The object from my prospective seemed to just be hovering although it is moving extremely slow. What seems always, the object would appear while looking almost Southwest in direction (compass bearing 244 degrees) from Power Rd. and Hwy 60, and between 30 to 45 degrees above the SW horizon at an altitude estimated to be about 3,000 feet (or near high air traffic route height). The object appears to be traversing West (270 degrees) from the East direction (90 degrees).
And for the past two days, I been also trying to get additional picture of it using the tripod and remote. Today, I managed to set my camera on the tripod, locate, and keep track of the object. I used 2 different lens: a 300mm lens 4.5G and a 500mm lens with a 2X telo-converter (1000mm) with built-in darken lens. Have lots of picture of it with the 300mm unfiltered.
When I used the 1000mm, the object was about 22 to 30 degrees above the horizon. The camera was set to manual mode and focus set to manual mode. I set the film speed to ISO400 (because of the object dimness), pixels to RAW, F-stops "0", and I bracket the shots between 1/30sec to 1/800sec in the beginning. In that way, I was guarantee at least one picture being good. In the beginning, I focused the lens by focusing on a jet near the same distant in order to locate the object. Working with a set-scope can prove challenging when trying to locate a small and sometimes dim object in the far distant with a darken lens. 3/4 of those pictures taken are salvageable; the others are white washed beyond fixing, and the darken pictures seems to show more object details and color rather than just white.
Tomorrow I'll be watching for it again starting at 1300 to see if it passed over me, or it just appear where I been seeing it appearing. Absolutely not a jet, helicopter, or bird. Possible balloon, however that's unlikely since the object was spotted at a distant of 3 to 8 miles at extreme altitude. It don't look to be a weather balloon neither since weather balloon I seen and captured on film usually has something hanging below the balloon (like it was two separate objects). The object been seen South of Gilbert, Southwest of Mesa.
No guarantees that it will repeat its pattern tomorrow, but I'll be waiting for it with my camera in hand.

MUFON CMS - San Angelo, Texas - 12/8/2010 - unedited: The wife and I had driven to San Angelo from Brownwood that day to find some good food we'd read about on the internet. We were just a mile west of Santa Ana on our way home and it was just now becoming completely dark. I observed the object just 15 degrees to the right of the road from my point of view in the passenger seat. At first I thought it was a really low plane but there's no airport for quite a while, and it was a quiet night with no sounds at all but the car running. I watched the object which seemed to be just a hundred feet up hovering and turning clockwise. I could tell it was turning because it had three very bright white lights, and I could see the round shape, but there were no blinking lights and the lights weren't pointed down like any plane light I'd ever seen. It was a perfectly clear night too. At first I thought it was a plane turning, but the lights kept coming around the object, two lights showed and then three as one would rotate out of view and another would appear from the other side. It made about ten revolutions and disappeared completely.. no more lights, no more dark spot. I might have blinked! 5 seconds later my wife said, "did you just see that?" And I said, "Yes, I did, but kept silent from the awe." She said the same. We slowed and looked around. The only other traffic was an 18-wheeler behind us and he slowed too and seemed to be looking for the object also! We pulled over to let him pass but he just waved and pointed up, so we knew he had seen it too! I didn't even try for the camera since it was so dark it would have never made a decent photo or video. It took me almost a week to report because I thought "nobody would believe this" and I probably listened to way too much Art Bell in the 90s, but I checked the time before and after and wrote down where we were as soon as we started moving again.

MUFON CMS - Highway 70 between Boswell and Soper, Oklahoma - 12/13/2010 - unedited: After dark - my wife and I were driving east on highway 70 between Boswell and Soper Oklahoma. We noticed ahead in the eastern sky, two very bright lights close together, about 30-deg above horizon. The lights alternated blinking out and reappearing several times - then the visible one initiated what appeared to be three successive and distinct "shooting" forward of new objects with bright tails - but with the each new object originating from the previous. The object(s) then simply disappeared.
Approximately 5 minutes later, four dimmer objects were noticed in the NE and Northern sky. We pulled over to the side and got out of the car and observed the objects moving east-to-west, and west-to-east by making erratic changes in direction and speed. One of the objects appeared to be coming toward us (became much brighter) and then again it began the "shooting" process with each new streak ending in a new light and then shooting out again. This event included four distinct "shootings" - and then the light disappeared.
The initial feeling was we were observing a fireworks and/or flares display. This feeling changed to thinking we were watching a modern day dogfight. This excitement was fortified by the sound of jets overhead - but the sounds did not seem to correspond to the location of the lights. I seemed as if the jets were attempting to intercept the objects.
At this point I called 911 on my cell and reported the sightings to the Hugo, Oklahoma 911 operator. I explained that there was a light show going on in the northern sky and that she would probably be getting some additional calls.
Overall, we observed the lights and listened to the jets for 15-20 minutes. The lights eventually disappeared (dimmed out) but in different quadrants of the northern sky.

Unprecedented UFO Wave in Victoria, Argentina - Scott Corrales, Inexplicata
Source: Diario Junio Digital
http://www.diariojunio.com.ar/noticias.php?ed=1&di=0&no=42568
For over a month, the department of Victoria has experienced an unprecedented wave of sightings involving unidentified flying objects and lights. According to reports, lights of various sizes are reported practically every night, following different directions and having varying intensities, and others that vanish suddenly. As if this wasn’t enough, there is now an eyewitness account from an inspector with the city’s office of natural resources, who saw a strange creature on the evening of Wednesday the 8th in the municipal campgrounds while conducting a routine tour of the area.
Silvia Pérez Simondini, a specialist in the investigation of prodigies and unconventional events, and the director of the Victoria UFO Museum, said that “the number of things appearing in the sky is impressive. We have never had as many sightings as in 2010, especially concentrated in this last month.” She said that it is very hard to keep statistics on the amount of sightings of such phenomena, as they are a permanent feature in Victoria.
She did say that “we are experiencing an intense wave of sightings, and its occuring not only in Victoria, but elsewhere in the world, such as Mexico and Brazil, for instance.”
Upon being consulted about the reason for which the department of Victoria is so prone to UFO sightings, as opposed to other localities, the researcher from Victoria opined that sightings always occur where there is raised ground, whether mountains, hills, summits or bodies of water concentrated in seas, rivers, lakes and even water tanks. Apparitions occur where both elements are found, and Victoria has them.
Perez Simondini insisted that “about a month ago, sightings increased in Victoria. We have received reports practically every night, or else we’ve seen them ourselved. It’s permanent.”
She explained that what people have seen are lights of various colors and sizes, taking off in different directions. “It’s evident that something’s watching us. We don’t know from where and how they’re coming, or what for.”
Unquestionably, the most shocking account comes from an inspector of the offfice of natural resources, who said that on 8 December at 21:30 hours he was engaged in a routine tour of the area with a co-worker, and came across a creature with very strange characteristics. After hearing the story, Perez Simondini and her team immediately reported to the site, keeping a watch over night to see if video or photo evidence could be secured. “[...] when creatures appear in a pre-determined location, we have to go to that site to see if we can obtain some kind of evidence, whether its photographic or film.”
The researche states that the entity seen by the inspectors has also been witnessed elsewhere in the world, mentioning Brazil among them. “In Brazil they call it the chupa-chupa, not chupacabras, and the difference between both is that the latter has wings like a bat, and the former doesn’t. Here in Argentina it is incorrectly termed the Chupacabras,” she said.
Aside from this case, which shook the “City of the Seven Hills”, the VisionOvni team is having photos analyzed in both La Pampa and Mexico showing three-UFO formations over the city. “All researchers ask me about the case histories in Victoria. We have no case histories – this is something that happens on a permanent basis. Sometimes waves of these sightings in the sky occur in winter. In this case they’re occuring during this time of year, and for that reason we cannot have given pattern to say if they are going to appear now or when.”
Perez Simondini further remarked that lights emerge every year from a place known as Laguna Grande. They start appearing after December 20 and extend through the first days of January. “Sometimes we see up to nine lights coming out by one. This year, the manifestations came into view much earlier, and have been visible for at least 20 days now.”
At Rincón de Nogoyá
Rincón de Nogoyá (Department of Victoria) faces Laguna del Pescado, one of the sites where most sightings occur. Lately, the place has become an ideal scenario for seeing UFOs.
A bricklayer took a photo of one of these objects in the sky. The construction worker stated that on 19 November, only minutes before 1:00 a.m. and while he was in the rural area of Rincon de Nogoya, he decided , as he did nightly, to drink some mate before going to bed. Then he sat down a few meters from a shed that was being refurbished at a ranch. That’s when he saw a light in the sky that grew larger and larger.
The worker said that the light was approaching his position, illuminating him completely. He managed to take a photo, and the light vanished moments later.
Another sighting occurred on Sunday in the Arenal/Cerro de la Matanza region, where residents claimed seeing a light in the sky. They could not identify it.
The Department of Victoria and city of the seven hills are an energy point to some. Others say that its topography and location make it a suitable spot for landings, but without question, and in view of the documents and witnesses that have emerged over time, it is the place in Argentina that boasts the largest number of unidentified lights and objects.

Le Brezou, Aveyron, France - Abandoned Village in French Pyrenees
(Translation) - Surrounded by the pylons, the town of the Brézou is the victim of an unexplained phenomena. One relates that in the 1980's, the rate of abnormally high suicide, the rate of very high rate cancer to the regional average, and strange paranormal phenomena forced the closure of the town.
NOTE: Odd story...this was forwarded to me today. I received an email from a former resident who now lives in the United States. He states that there was a supposed UFO landing near the village in 1981 and that 3 people went missing, including the sister of a friend. He says the problems in the village are the result of this event...Lon
