Same Sighting then in New Jersey (Plasmoids)

Because there are more and more sightings in the United States of America I watched the sky more often. This object looks exactly like the so-called plasmoids and shines exactly like them and it also moves through like a flickering light and it constantly changes colors.

Something black appeared and it was a kind of object with two long thread in back color

On 4th of March i was travelling from Palma In Ryan Air Flight which departed from Palma de Mallorca at around 9:00 am in the morning. Between 10:10 to 10:30 am i was looking outside the window and i saw something in black appeared it was a kind of object with two thread or tails .. Initially in thought its some kind of smoke but it then it moved upwards very fast.. means really fast. Then this Triangle shaped object became flat and then moved down and came back up.....as i was continuously watching it. It became still as if its a cloud of back colour.

Now after 15-20 minutes it again appeared and pattern was same. just at the last moment it clicked into my mind to make a video. I am uploading the video as well. The passenger sitting at my back seat also saw this and we spoke about this.. Even he showed it to his wife but again they were not sure what it was .. and their comments were as if could be an alien and then we laughed.

I think i should report this but again am not sure what it was.. I hope reporting this video will not cause any trouble for me..

UFO’s over Vienna Exposion

There was a explosion in Vienna by a Jewish Temple, some type of ceremony going on, police and soldiers block off traffic and pedestrians from entering, we felt it must be a terrorist attack, we seen people looking up and wife was taking phots from our rent a car on vacation.

We thought they were police or military drones that were large, but when we googled next day for information there was other reports of UFO sightings from other people, to our surprise it was lots of reports through out years like Vienna is a hot spot of activity, we have photos taken that day, of ground activity and UFO’s

Strongly reflecting object, during daylight, slowly moving, high, and abruptly changing direction at one point.

This is video was shot in Vienna, 23 of July 2012. What’s your opinion….

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdQVIGdLxqw&feature=player_embedded

Monday morning, in bright daylight, 9.00 am, 23 July 2012, this object was filmed above the City Center of Vienna. The quality of my mobile phone (Samsung Galaxy SIII) was not appropriate enough to zoom further in, but with the eye it could be seen as a rotating and at some points very very bright object (i guess due to strong reflection of sunlight). I had the impression it was chrome like metallic, but this could be too much judgement here. It was not emitting light, it seemed to be reflecting it. It seemed to have a high altitude. Rotating across several axis. Nothing below a a couple of hundred meters. More in the region of low flying passenger planes.

The object moved relatively slowly (south-east), at the start of the observation, then at 01.01 minutes (of the video) it shifts its direction rapidly (!!!!!) and then continued flying at this point in a rather more constant speed in a straight line south. You can nicely see it compared to the balcony of the building in the video. The more i watch that move to the side on video, the more it freaks me out. I could see it with my eye, the move was very sudden and swift, and rather not common to what i would expect from an object I know.

I continued to watch it with my eye walking down the street in southern direction. I could follow it for at least 5 more minutes.

I could not hear any sound. It was very surely no plane. No helicopter noise. It was not a balloon or kite. It was rotating, around several axis. If it was a satellite crashing, it would not have made a turn at 1.01 minutes of the video and gone south-west... satellites crash rather with speeds in the range of several thousand km.

Whatever it was...i am not sure...but it had me at "owkayyy". What was striking me the most, it was very very bright at points, so it must have a strong reflecting side and the rest must be also reflecting but not as strong, as it was always was visible but at some points very very much. I could see people on the street looking at it too and seeing it... You can actually see right at the start of the video, that when the camera is not in focus, that the object was pretty bright, when i started filming. It was really a bright blue sky with a lot of sun, and the object was extremely bright at some points.

Maybe this footage can be used to be analyzed some more.

In making the video thermal colors (youtube function), you can see a plane crossing right at the start of the video, and I just saw another (maybe 2) object(s) when the camera goes down to show the pedestrians, above the houses in the distance next to the pole.

Location: Lamprechtshausen (Austria), , Austria

Shape: Light


A circular light (pale blue in color) was sighted by myself and one friend on the evening of 21 January 2012. We was walking on a path surrounded by fields just a little west of Lamprechtshausen. The first thing we saw was a light in the distant sky that was slowly getting bigger. Of course, at first we didn't think anything of this as for all we knew it could have been a helicopter. Then, after 10-20 seconds my friend said "that helicopter is very quiet. Perhaps it is a specialised military helicopter that is to be used by the military". Then a few seconds later we both noticed that the colors of the lights were also quite odd to belong to a helicopter.

Within 20-30 seconds after we noticed the colours of the lights on the 'helicopter' was strange, it flew almost directly over us. Instead of being a helicopter, it was just a ball of light. It made no sounds and the size of the light was getting bigger and smaller (pulsing?). It was as fast as a helicopter or small plane, and about as big as an auto. It was about 200 meters in the sky.

I watched a rotating, moving, appearing and disappearing light-energy in many performances and variations, permanent changing upon sky

it was to me rather difficult and exhausting to photograph perfectly this recorded celestial phenomenon because of its permanent and very fast various manoeuvres, moves and changes, a stunning but quite confusing light-phenomenon, very strange and funny... Also its size turned continuously - getting smaller and bigger, diminishing and growing. Far away upon the dark, black sky! I do not report here any terrestrial encounter close to our earth. Pics made by my digital camera but not via smartphone.

50-100 dimm points, moving across Vienna/Austria. unknown height, and speed, no noise.

2 people. In Vienna, Austria. 23. District. It was an arc, about 5 deg, and the shape was like cloud in the form of a ")" - an arc. It looked like birds in formation. Like ducks in a wide formation. But it was 9:45pm. totally dark. Stars where clearly seen. View to the north. as I looked more steady to the moving formation, I realized that the content was a number of 50-100 tiny lights. moving. Not moving towards each other. 45 seconds about. from 45 elevation from the east to 50deg elevation to the west. Vienna town town is 9km away. very hard to immagine, that this points have been iluminated birds. they structure did not change. it was very impressive. 2nd person with eyeglasses could only see a unsharp line. He did unfortunately not focus enough.

Just a true sighting. I am an engineer, with physical background. Teaching electronic components. working for a USA company. international. Location in Vienna.

Just my contribution, what I saw.


((ADDENDUM FROM SAME WITNESS, SUBMITTED 27JL09))

Dear Mr. Davenport,
you might remember me, the one who reported the "Banana Shape Formation flight" across Vienna.

I was busy in finding a 2nd person who saw the same. In this case it should be very very easy to confirm the same sighting, because a formation of 50-100 objects in such a shape is very very unique. On the local web sites, news papers etc. I found nothing.

On youtube some videos: "Lots of UFOs in Vienna on July 9." But those are single points or maybe 2 points moving in the sky. Could be anything.

Final line: I was unable so far to get a 2nd person on a different position to confirm the fomation flight, to do a triangulation.

I found on youtube one Video (UFO footprint on moon) which represents a similar ARC as I saw. Recorded in July.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qen_C6aYSKM

So, my question to you is: Do you know a European good reporting site, where I could post the sighting, and where others could respond then?

Unfortunately there is so much trash in the net about UFOs; 99.9% is unusble, and wasted time to read. (and very timeconsuming) In case I get a 2nd person to confirm the sighting, I will let you know.

Greetings from Austria

((BEGIN ADDENDUM #2))

Peter, no problem for the short message.

I will just let you know what is the current status and how it continues.

1. Since what I saw was so unique, not only a few moving dots in the sky, I am motivated to continue investigating.

2. Visibility of the formation from my position to the west is unlikely, because it UK/London it is at 9:00pm local time too bright. And the objects have been too small.

3. Hot Air-Baloons? A German specialist from CNAP told me: that these objects where just those chinese burning baloons. (definitively not because -

4. Asked at the ZAMG (Central Station for Meteorology and Geological Dynamic in Vienna) about wind direction and speed on 7/9/09 22:00. It was 9m/s in 1200feet, direction from 270Deg (WESTWIND) (Baloons, Paragliders etc. do not fly against the wind)

5. US-Army Jet Fleet from Iraq to UK. Very unlikely that 100 Jets, in 60.000 feet (where they do not make much noise).

PENDING: I am checking, at which elevation at 22:00 local time Geographic position 48N 16E, the sun is still visible. I beleive, since the stars where visible, it should be above 50km (150.000feet). In that case, 100% NO for Jet transfer. They travel max. at 25.000m

6. I expanded the trak of the observation now to the EAST. (286 Deg was the heading).

7. The track crosses exactly the Black Sea, north of Turkey.

8. My colleague in Istanbul told me, that he got in tough on June 15. with lot of People of the UFO-Conference in Istanbul (Erik v. Daeniken, ... and many others)

9. My colleague will forward the immage I reconstructed to those people. He said, that since Jun 15. they observed a massive amount of objects above the black sea! Same as in 1999, where a large earthquake killed 60.000 People in North or Turkey. (official numbers are 20.000).

10. 1999 and July 22. Solar Eclipse causes with very high likelyhood heavy earthquakes. This is in relation with UFO observation.

Final line:

In case I will get any confirmation of this unique observation, I will let you know. It could be the largest amount of UFOs observation in a single case ever. Worth to continue.

I have attached a reconstruction how the sky looked like. See the many tiny dots in the middle of the picture.

Sorry for the lengthy email.
With kind regards ((name deleted))

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

Red circle craft sighted over Mayrhofen, Austria. Outer border was bright with a bright dot at it's centre.

My brother and I had arrived in Mayrhofen, Austria for our skiing holiday. Our sighting happened on our first evening whilst stepping outside to the balcony to smoke a cigarette.

The red circle as it appeared to us in the sky appeared over the mountain horizon and continued upwards, sometimes moving very slightly to the left or right. It continued to move slowly and then gained speed and moved still upwards. As it gained speed it grew fainter until the light had disappeared from sight.

We took a video although this was low quality. However upon examining the photograph taken, the red circle was brightest at it's centre with a bright outer border. There were no visible trails of exhaust from any propulsion. The light remained constant for the entire sighting and there were no additional lights or flashes.

I've searched the internet and found nothing similar...

I will forward the photograph to this website as evidence of the sighting.

It came from the direction of the city, when I stood on a hill in total darkness in the countryside. It was moving strangely, not straight forward, but shaking a little left-right, like a drunk, wiht a slight noice.

When it stopped for a short time, I suddenly heard a sudden bang and human like scream. Then it was gone silently. Maybe somebody was abducted? It was definitely no helicopter..

Location details: Aera of the Steinberg mountains

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

Flasing lights, like in a discothek, on and off, and affecting the the surrounding pine trees around it, then moving up-down.

Flashing lights around mountain-side, like in a discothek, moving side to side and up and down, affecting pine trees. Then stopping and starting again. First it looked like a street light. Then it all happened. Crazy. We were camping near the mountain. Then it started raining. We got into our mini bus, then I saw the same light, stationary, away from the mountain in the sky, not moving.
Later after the rain, I did not see it anywhere. I never seen it leave. Only one of my compaions saw, what I saw, after I try to get their attention.

It was as if it only acted out when I was looking. We were sitting around a camp fire, where 2 of them had their backs to the light. The other one told me it was a star. I argued that it was too low to be a star, hanging 'round the mountain slope. I thought it was a street lamp, so I asked him if there was a town or a village going up the mountain.

He never saw the flashing display; he was not paying attention. I was fixiated on that light, then the crazu flashing commenced.

I can never forget, what I saw.

And it was as if it was communicating with only me.

When I alerted the guys of the crazy flashing, it stopped, before the could turn or look up and see.

I have another story to tell about my experience, with Aliens. I don't know if the lights singled me out to communicate with me.

Telling this story, right now, I am 74 going on 75, but I remember being in an Ametica Hospital on theisland of Aruba, at the age of 5, when a strange nurse burst into my room, she looked bigger than the avg. nurse I the Hospital, and uglier, looking more like a man, she had 2 little doctors with her, both wearing sunglasses and had bald heads. They never spoke to me like the other nurses would. They just came behind me, while I was sitting upright on the bed and stuck something like an injection into me on the left side, around my shoulder.It hurt and then they left.

As a kid I started crying, until a real nurse came to my attention and she noticed and said, " Oh you are bleeding". She cleaned the blood and never asked me anything.

I never told antbody anything, because I thought it was normal to see some strange doctors and nurses sometimes. I started paying more attention to that experience, somewhere around 1994, when I was reading a book about abductions, where some victims would draw some aliens, that looked somewhat like little doctors, with sunglasses.

I needed to let these stories out. I don't care who believes it or not. It happened to me and that is true enough.

Thank You
Born Nov. 4 1948 in Aruba.
