For about two to three hours, objects that emit blue and red lights in the sky were moving slowly side to side and stayed stagnant.

On Saturday, June 4, at 10:33 p.m., I opened a mat with a friend near the riverside and looked up at the calm sky. Few people were around the riverside but there were no lights in the store in the late night. Looking up, I noticed an object emitting blue and red light in the empty sky. There was a slight movement to the side by side, but it didn't disappear and the light continued in that position for about two hours. Two people witnessed it and we both took pictures with our cell phones.

Flying objects were captured in the sky.

The location is the "Wind Hill" next to the wind power plant in Gyeongju, Korea.
(Gyeonggam-ro 1717-1 Yangbuk-myeon, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do)
I couldn't see it with my own eyes. However, this is because I found it when I checked after taking several pictures with the camera standing up.
At first, I thought it was a bug. I searched on the Internet about UFOs. I found a UFO picture on the Internet that is very similar to the object of the picture I have.
It's absolutely no manipulation or joke. After breaking up with my ex-girlfriend, I deleted all the photos, but I left that photo. A lot of time has passed, but I want to know the identity of that object even now.

Characteristics: Lights on object, Left a trail, Missing Time

I witnessed two unusual elliptical objects resembling UFOs, which exhibited unique flight patterns and disappeared without sound.

The following eyewitness details are the information reported to the Korean broadcasting company, SBS.

At first, I witnessed a UFO inside my house. There were two brightly shining elliptical objects. I have seen airplanes passing by frequently, but this didn't look like the usual airplanes. I thought it was nothing special, but 15 minutes later, I went out into the yard, and a neighbor lady shouted, "What is that?" When I looked up at the sky, there were still two objects floating in the sky. Suddenly, the lights disappeared, and then they reappeared next to another glowing object. They continued to blink and move before disappearing. There was no sound, and there have been no military exercises with flares or anything of the sort in the vicinity.

We even launched fireworks into the sky, but the flying pattern and the way the lights blinked were completely different from those objects. We also tried flying drones, but it was impossible for drones to move and disappear that quickly. Moreover, it's not allowed to fly drones in this area during the evening hours. We attempted various methods to replicate a similar shape and behavior, but we couldn't recreate the flying pattern and glowing objects seen in the footage. We also consulted with video analysis experts, but there were no signs of manipulation or editing, and they found it difficult to determine the identity of these objects. Therefore, I decided to seek assistance here.

A Saucer spotted by an accidental photo

Seen an interesting shaped cloud while i had a smoke on a highway pit stop, mother asked me to take some pictures of it.

Once i have taken a photo, we've noticed something left of a cloud what seems to be like a huge saucer part of it is illuminated by light like a moon during day time the other end of it was light blue blended with sky, as if it is far out of our atmosphere.

12 UFOs spotted hovering North of Seoul before speeding off North into restricted airspace

We were watching fireworks from a top a mountain with a large group. I looked back at my girlfriend and noticed something in the sky that did not appear to by an airplane. It was very dim at first but white in light, oval shaped. There were no navigational beacons blinking. It was moving too slow, suddenly another appeared, then another.

Eventually there were 12 of them, all in close proximity at different altitudes and appeared to be stationary. Then they moved around again and started moving due North toward North Korea. Nothing flies North here, and we were North of Seoul, not in any flight patterns for approaching or departing aircraft, so I was very puzzled.

They then stopped again and half of them disappeared. 6 of them remained stationary for 6 minutes, not moving then shot off north very fast and disappeared.

2 round balls of fire hovering over the southern part of South Korea-4 witnesses that I know of.

My wife, son, and I were at a Ski resort in South Korea about 30 miles east of Suwon. It was around 19:50 and I was watching the people on the ski lift and I was looking South in the sky. It was a full moon and no cloud cover, it was a clear night.

I witnessed two balls of fire, one was dim and seemed a little further away, while the other one was brightly burning. they were moving in opposite directions. I could not tell how far away nor the actual size.

I am in the U.S. Army and I immediately ruled out a fixed wing aircraft and within a couple more seconds I was able to determine it was not a rotary winged air craft either. I got the attention of an employee at the snow sled area and I also informed my wife to look and video tape it.

It was in the sky for approximately 8-10 minutes.

The Night sky in Gimhae on the 10/19/12

This was seen in the early morning hours of 10/19/2012. I was surprised as I was watching a clip on the internet of Present Obama at a Meet and Greet in t China 2009 in Shanghai. I would have watched around three quarters of this clip which wen for over close to an hour and looked outside and then onto the night sky and could not believe my eyes what I saw next.

An object brighter than any star or natural light from the moon sun etc...

I decided to get my camera out to take the shots that you will see in my email to your organization.

I did some cross checking as well with some of the photos I have taken to verify its authenticity by highlight in circle cropped with some text to outline my experience.

Please use this information to study the region here in South Korea. It is teaming with evidence that could link something that could be a major find I the skies above.

Thanks very much.

Korean fighter jet flanked by disc shaped object

Lunch time in Korea is a busy time for jets flying overhead, usually they are quite high in the sky, loud, so you can here them but difficult to see especially on a cloudless day as the sun is so intense.

This one day in the early part of this year,(can’t remember if it was January or February now) I heard a jet but it sounded a lot louder and lower so I looked out my bedroom window.

My bedroom window is east facing. At first I saw the fighter jet, flying very low, so as detail could be seen on the vehicle, and almost immediately after, saw a disk shaped object pacing behind it, in the jets right flanked position. The jet was flying from west to east approximately. I remember clearly that the jet had a heavy jet stream flowing behind it but this disk object had no jet stream. The speed of the disk matched the speed of the jet exactly as if linked by a cord.

multiple lights seen by multiple witnesses in Seoul

This is a follow up to the sighting that I reported on November 27th. I told my colleagues about my sighting of an orange ball of light flying low overhead in the middle of the city. It was mostly met with skepticism.

I should also not that I work in the news industry here in Seoul. Well, my coworkers told me about a report yesterday by YTN, which is the biggest 24 hr. news channel in the country. Last night there were multiple sightings of multiple lights moving about the city. The original story is in Korea and is short. I provided a rough translation of the original report.

It’s noteworthy that a channel like YTN does not usually report on events such as UFOs. The fact that there were many lights and witnesses makes this case very interesting. It also adds more credibility to what I saw a few days before. I think my coworkers believe my story more now.

It seems something is going on here in Seoul. I suspect it may be military, maybe some kind of experimental drones to keep an eye on North Korea? Here is a rough translation of the news report.

Files of reports streamed through last night... saying that Seoul residents saw UFOs in different areas of Seoul Multiple lights were seen by many people in Seoul last night... which hovered in the sky.

[Interview: Mr. Ha Haesung, Seoul Resident] I reported as mysterious lights in the sky. I suspect the objects which I saw could be UFO... or something related to..."" Files of reports have been released by ordinary citizens... claiming that they have observed a UFO.

The strange thing is that similar incidents happened in places around Seoul including Yonhee-dong, ahhyeondong, sinsudong, Gongdeok, Chungjeongro, Namdaemun, Hannam-dong, and other places in Seoul simultaneously.

The Air Force confirmed that there was no trainning at that time of night in Seoul... saying the hovering lights were not related to any planes.

UFO experts have seen the light of the problems result, the ground is likely to have been a light in the shot man naenwatseupnida the results of the analysis. (I think they are trying to explain that the lights could have come from the ground…But it really seems unlikely) The military is also turned on the lights in the past as a suspected UFO UFO cases in the past admitted there were times when deda Dawn and I-because she did not reveal features. (Here, I think they are saying the military has shined search lights before)

Low flying orange ball flies over Seoul, disappears

Traveling north on the Banpo Bridge, I saw this orange semi flickering light no more than 1000 ft. in the air traveling southbound. There is a lot of helicopter activity in the area from the US military Garrison in the area so at first I thought it was just a helicopter. And it was coming from the direction of the base. But as it got closer all I could see was this orange ball of light, no red or blue flashing lights or shape of the craft, just this orange ball with no sound.

It was pretty big and low and passed right over the bridge. I am sure other people saw it in their cars. I wanted to stop but there was no where to stop. I watched it come right me while trying to not crash my bike. I watched it until it was right above me. I tried to find it in my review mirrors but I couldn't find it.

I've seen many helicopters flying around the area. Flying that low you can hear them, and you can make out a shape and you can see their flying lights. I don't think it was one of those Asian lanterns, it was moving too fast, and my 6 years of living here, I've never seen one. I am convinced it was neither a helicopter or a lantern.

Opened a window in Apartments to have a smoke, And look at stars usually while smoking noticed 2 fireballs Traveling at Enormous speed, Came from right side of my view and preceded together at constant speed and constant distance to each other till they have became really small and finally disappeared in a horizon.

Judging by the size in comparison to stars it was just as big as Northern Star but Very bright red color, was not flashing or leaving any tails, was not emitting any sounds i stayed to listen for engine roar hoping it was a plane.

Couldn't be a plane, it was not up for long enough to clear my whole range of view of the forest that is stretching out about 20km 10mil aprox. from my apartments.

Don't think it was a comment or meteorite, they never left a tail, nor did they disappear in mid sky, they covered All of the sky in less then 5 seconds.

Im Sorry i couldn't take picture or video because it just happened instantly, and caught me by surprise and stunned me for a little while.

Over 70 soft lights seen hovering over Pohang, South Korea.

On Tuesday, October 4th I was walking east to our car as I had just left my cousin’s football practice on the campus of Handong Global University in Pohang, South Korea. As I was walking, I observed many of the students (over 30 of them) stopped in the middle of the street staring, pointing, and taking pictures of the sky. This was just around 8:30pm and the sun had set a while ago. I stopped to see what they were looking at when I noticed about 10 soft floating light suspended in the sky. I took a few pictures from that spot [location 1] and then tried to get a better look by moving to the other side of the building (since I could barely see them, as they were blocked by trees and a dormitory).

I walked to the other side of the dormitory [location 2] and took a few more pictures. Still I could not get a good enough view. I then walked east a bit more and walked down a path through the trees that led me to a field where I had an unobstructed view of the lights [location 3].

As time progressed the amount of lights grew from around 10 to a final count of over 70. The lights were soft and in the shape of a sliver. They did not move up or down, nor side to side. They just hovered in the sky. Some were white while most were yellow/amber with a handful of them almost chartreuse in hue. They looked like a distant street lamp seen through the fog. I didn’t see any certain point of light, just a glow. I could not tell if the “sliver” shape were light flares or if it was the actual shape of the object (all of the lights kept the exact same shape).

I took a few more images of these lights from the field before my cousin called me to tell me that we had to go.

My cousin tried to tell me that these were military flares, but I have seen military flares before and they looked nothing like these lights. These lights did not move! At this point, we drove back to his house in Pohang, which was about 10 minutes away from the campus. He dropped me off two blocks away from his house at my hotel. When I got back to my room, I told my friend who has been traveling in Korea with me about the lights and showed him my pictures. He was as dumbfounded as I was. After an hour we left the hotel and walked over to my cousins house. As we were walking we noticed the same lights now hovering above us.

At this point, my friend took some pictures with his camera, but recently lost that camera in a taxi here in Seoul.

I have attached some of my photos in a separate email.

A round light that resembles a circle of cigarette smoke. It was the color of an incandescent light, and as the smoke moved within, I see the darker shape and light shape mixing and release.

The sky was exceptionally clear that day. (slightly cloudy)

I like the romantic countryside, and in the culture of Asia, there is a culture that builds a very small hut in such a countryside and enjoys relaxing there.

So did I, and I was relaxing with my father.

My father was the one who directly experienced the group UFO sightings of students of Nonsan Elementary School (or middle school?) that occurred somewhere between 1970 and 1990.

Unfortunately, my father was looking at the vast expanse of rice fields (in the opposite direction from what I had witnessed) and asked me, "Do you keep looking there because there's something to see in that mountain?"

The mountain was a simple mountain behind the village, but the cool breeze blowing from the mountain and the sound of birds chirping at night were very soothing, so I was looking there.

Then, suddenly, a mass of flesh-colored smoke like an incandescent light bulb appeared in the sky near the top of the mountain and slowly began to brighten.

The smoke lump was round, with cigarette smoke emitting flesh-colored light like a light bulb, and the light and dark parts slowly mixed and condensed, then released, and then repeated. It repeat condensed or release, Every time that happened, the bright and dark part (condensed) and the dark and soft part (release) were mixed together.

The object maintained such a constant brightness and shape, and then gradually faded into a shape that seemed to scatter at some point.

The released part disappeared first and was invisible, and the condensed part disappeared last.

The object continued to repeat condensed and release mixing until it disappeared, and the overall brightness was also constant.

The round shape and size did not change, and it did not move in a specific direction or cause other phenomena such as splitting.

This was witnessed for a very short period of about a few tens of seconds to a few minutes (less than 10 minutes at the most).

A light flight to norh in straight and zigzag. Then disappeared.

At that time the sun had fallen down. So it was dark. The UFO had a weak orange light. I felt it was far from me. Two airplanes flight over my head just before watching the UFO. The light which I observed was not airplane's light.Because that was very higher than other plane's flight course, and that went to north face. I had never watched a airplane facing to north.(We face to north Korea, so no airport exist in north and not allowed to flight to north) The light flight to north in a straight line for a minute. And then that flight like zigzag. After zigzag flight the light was dimished and disappeared.

But not the bird or the insect!! It has dark brown color, an empennage-shaped wing above the body, but absolutely not the aircraft as far as I know.

I tried to recall the time when I had taken the photograph. That time…I’m not sure, but I had gooseflesh and I had my hair stand on end little bit as I had looking the LCD monitor and operating the functional button on digital camera. But I didn’t hear any noise at that time.

A bright small light coming toward at me very slowly.

When I was child in Korea, When I was living 8th or 7th floor apartment in korea.

I was watching T.V waiting to my family come back. I was little nevous because I was young and alone. Suddenly I looks at the balcony there was light outside toward me. It was coming directly to me. It Seemed coming very slowly about 35' away from me but wasn't slow as it looked.

It was about to come through the window and I got so scared and I just ran down with stairs to the first floor and I looked at the sky nothing was there.

And about 15 sec my family came and I looked at the sky and it was there but much higher but about the same speed on top of apartment. I told my mother to look at that thing and of course she though I was out of my mind or joking and she just ignored to look up and the light was gone.

Silver, upside down T-shaped flying object hovering low slowly and quietly then flew away in about 3 minutes

My brother and I were lying down on our front yard to read books. Then I saw a flying object silently and slowly flying across on the top of our house. I was immediately struck at how low it was flying and how quiet it was. Our house was located at the edge of a hill, so I immediately ran up to the rooftop, which was easily accessible through the upper room. I grabbed a small, juvenile telescope from the upper room and tried to examine it more closely from the rooftop. By the time my brother and I were on the rooftop, it was slowly hovering across the town towards south and then quickly sped higher into the cloud and disappeared little later. Here is the description of what I saw through my telescope.

It was completely silver in color, and it was an upside down T-shaped flying object. A drawing would be better to explain how it looked like, but it looked like two large cylinder pipes stuck together to form a shape of letter T. The ends were rounded off. Although it was somewhat hard to tell how far it was from where I was standing when I started examining it with my mini-telescope, I think it was at least 12 feet in diameter at the base. There were no windows, doors, or any blinking lights. However, some black letters were visible across the bottom of the flying object. I still remember how the characters looked like, and even to this day, I have yet to see any human scripts that resemble those characters. I have gone through http://www.omniglot.com to find any scripts that may look familiar, but I couldn’t find any.

I have kept this information to myself over all these years, because whenever I would tell someone about it, I was made fun of, and even my younger brother, who was with me at the time, seems to recollect very little about it. That’s probably because I was the first one with the telescope and by the time I gave the telescope to my brother it was farther away and he had trouble locating it on the view. I decided to make a report on this website, because I have not seen any other UFO sightings where letters were involved, and in this type of shape. I’d be able to recognize those letters if I were to see it again.

Cone shaped, silver, smooth craft with lights hovering through military field site.

While stationed in South Korea as an aviation helicopter maintenance mechanic, my unit was deployed to the field for a major training exercise. I was at the field dining facility at about 6:00AM and noticed the fog rolling into the valley that our unit was set up at. I noted that due to the fog, that there would be no flying that morning until the fog cleared. The sun had come up and it was daylight. As I was watching the fog move I noticed that the fog began to part as if something was disturbing the air. Out of the fog came a cone and top shaped object of silver color, smooth skin, and had rotating green, blue and red lights at the top and at the bottom. The craft made no jet engine noise or internal combustion engine noise whatsoever. I did detect a slight humming noise but the craft was about 1/2 mile away and I could not hear it well. The craft hovered slowly at about 10 to 15 KIAS (knots indicated airspeed) and did not deviate at all from its course. It slowly passed over our training site and then moved up into the valley and then disappeared into the fog. I looked over at the Dining Facility Manager, a senior NonCommissioned Officer of the US Army, and asked him if he just saw what I saw. He nodded in agreement and then stated, "We didnt see nothing" and then turned around and walked away and never mentioned it again. I detected no military markings, weapons, or any type of surveillance equipment. I detected no US Flag markings or any International Flag markings or International Number designators on the skin of the aircraft at all. It left no fuel vapor and it left no exhaust smoke as a jet engine would or an internal combustion engine would. In the area were 18 US Army Attack Helicopters, 12 US Army Observation Helicopters and over 250 US Army personnel. When I mentioned this incident to my squad leader he just laughed it off and told me that it was probably something from North Korea checking us out. I explained to my squad leader that it was not a military aircraft. He told me to forget about it. To lend credence to this incident, I made the military my career and retired as a Senior First Sergeant/Master Sergeant of Army Aviation. I also had for over 15 years a US Government Secret Security clearance that was renewed every 5 years after a thorough NSA background check. To me and to the dining facility manager this was something that neither of us were familiar with and knew that it was not something that could be classified as a military aircraft or top secret spy platform.

Sighting in the Republic of South Korea

At approximately 0630 on the above mentioned morning I witnessed a UFO traveling up a valley while in the Republic of South Korea. I was active duty military and was stationed in Korea at the time. My unit was out on a training excersise with our helicopters situated in a valley. At 0630 I was standing in line to recieve breakfast and looked over into the valley. I saw a cone shaped flying object move up the valley. It had circling lights around it that were mult-colored and rotating in opposite directions. It had no propellers, or rotor blades or any external engines that I could see. It was also quite soundless and moved as if it was on a string being pulled through the valley. That particular morning it was very foggy but as the craft approached the fog parted and the craft moved through our area. Myself and one other person saw this UFO and he looked right at me and told me to keep my mouth shut and never mention a word about what we just saw. Being in the military and having someone that outranks me to tell me to keep my mouth shut was to me an order. I kept my mouth shut, but was amazed that I actually saw what I believe to be a UFO. Again, this vehicle made no noises, no sense of motion except for it's flight and was NOT a military reconnisance aircraft. I know the difference, believe me.

Visitation Experience in Korea and other events

I can't recall the year, but it was between 1978-1980. I was in the U.S. Air Force, stationed at Kunsan Air Base, South Korea. I was living off base inside a housing compound, outside the local town called Silvertown. There was no light in the one roomed apartment, yet when I looked, I could see clearly. I remember waking up on the floor. My wife was on the bed to my left and slightly behind me. My attention was drawn to the direction of the doorway. I saw a large dark figure standing in the door. The figure seemed to be wearing a hooded cloak or cape. I think it was dark grey or black in color.

I sat there just staring at it when it seemed to start approaching me. It didn't appear to be walking. It seemed to glide across the floor. I tried to back away from it but couldn't move. I tried to call for my wife but couldn't make any sound.

Although my body refused to respond to my efforts to move, I can remember thinking that if I could make a sound, the fear, and the figure, would go away. While I can remember it moving toward me, I don't remember it traveling the distance of the room to where I was laying. That is to say, I only remember it moving a distance of about 3 or 4 feet. I can't recall it ever actually reaching me. My struggle to move or make some kind of sound seemed to go on for several minutes. My heart was pounding in my chest and I was desperately trying to call for my wife.

Suddenly, I managed to make a whisper/squeak of a noise. I tried again and the noise came easier this time. Finally, I was calling my wife's name. I could move as well, although it was extremely difficult. I dragged myself to our bed. I reached up and as I was about to touch my wife, everything was back to normal, if you can call it that. The stranger was gone. So was the loss of my voice and my inability to move. However, the room was darker and it was harder to see. I was still on the floor and my wife was sleeping soundly on the bed. My heart began to slow down and the pounding reduced itself to a normal beating.

I just sat there. To this day, I call still recall parts of this incident with great clarity. But I'm not sure if it was a dream. I don't recall if I had been drinking alcohol that night but it is a very real possibility. Nor do I understand why I was on the floor instead of the bed with my wife.

I don't know if my wife recalls any of this. I don't even remember if I ever talked to my wife about this, but through the years, I've told this story to others when the topic of strange things comes up.

At the risk of coming off as a nut case, other strange things have happened to me as well and are as clear or vivid but may mean nothing.

While stationed at RAF Lakenheath in the United Kingdom between 1982-83, I recalled leaving the shop one night to go across the street to another building. As I left the shop, I was in a direct line of sight to the door that I was heading for. Suddenly, I ran into a heating fuel containment wall some 8 to 10 feet off the original path I was on. I don't know how I got my original course but it did leave scratches on my shins.

Another incident at the same base and time frame occurred when I left the shop to catch the bus home. I left the shop at 10 minutes till 1 AM for what should have been a one minute walk to the bus stop. However, after I arrived at the stop, I checked my watch and it said the time was 20 minutes after 1AM. In these two incidents, no alcohol was involved due to the fact that I was just coming off duty.

And one morning while in England during the 82-83 time frame, I awoke to find myself inside my wardrode (closet). However, this one could have been due to drinking, but I thought I'd mention it.

While station at Hurlburt Field, Florida between 1991-92, I used to drive a stretch of road every night that was not well traveled or lit at that time of night. On numerous occasions while driving, I expected to hear a loud popping noise come from the dash of my car. The expectation was so strong that my eyes where prepared to close the way they do when someone is hammering on something over and over and then they suddenly stop, but your eyes still twitch in anticipation of the next blow.

One night late 1996 or early 97, while at work with the Gate Rubber Co in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, I experienced what you would call lost time. I worked with six presses that cure belts for the company. On this night, I was waiting for press number 4 to open. I decided to go check something on press number 1 about 15-20 feet away. I looked at the timer on press 4 and saw that I had 1 minute and 45 seconds before the press was ready to open, so I turned around to go to press 1. As soon as I turned around and started to take a step, press number 4 opened up. I stopped and turned back around. I wondered if maybe I had looked at the wrong timer, but none of the other timers on the unit were set anywhere near a minute and 45. It was only a minute and 45 seconds and I didn't feel anything else was out of order, but I still recall it with great clarity.

One day after I had begun working for the University of Arkansas, I experience an incident where I seemed to gain time. I checked the time that I entered Hwy 412 at the intersection of hwy 530 (old Hwy 71). And began the 20 minute drive to Siloam. As I entered the City limits, I checked the time again and found that I had made the trip in 10 minutes. I verified the operation of my watch and the Curise Control that I always used and found them to be in good working order. I’ve never heard of anyone gaining time, although I have experienced times that I felt time had past quicker than I thought it should have.

I have the standard "Scoop" mark on my left leg that I’ve heard and read about. It's been there as long as I can remember. And in 1999, I noticed that there was a scoop mark on the top of my left hand. I don’t recall anything out of the ordinary having happened at the time.

*********** Additional back ground information.

While I was in the sixth grade, I experienced several incident where there were large scabs in my nostrials. I remember that my grandmother used to have to use large hair pins to remove them. This lasted several weeks.

Around 1976/77 while stationed at Beale AFB in California and living in the barracks, I got up one night to go to the bathroom. As I walked past my papasan chair, I saw someone sitting there and stepped around them to go into the hall. I closed the door behind me. When I went back to my room, I had locked myself out. I knocked on the door, but no one answered. I finally had to go outside and break into the room. No one was there and the next day, when I asked my friends if any of them had been in the room, they all said no.

After reading all this, I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking that I was a nutcase looking for attention. But I swear that it’s all true to the best of my knowledge. It’s also convinced me that I need to keep a document of dates, times, and conditions, should anything else occur. Thanks for taking the time to read through this and as always, if you have any quesitons, please let me know.

it started to move in zigzag fashion. Hopping between clouds, as it moved in to the cloud, cloud was glowing

One small light moving slowly but steadily moving, more like drifting among sea of stars;. My uncle was a reporter at that time, he had good knowledge of air planes, when I told him about the light in the sky, he briefly told me that the light must be a some secret air plane because it was moving too fast for it to be a conventional air plane at that altitude. It was so high up there we could not hear a thing. I watch it for another 10 min. or so when it stated to decent and you could realize it was moving radically. That's when my uncle paid full attentions to that moving light, before you know it was right above us, where our family was gather to eat water melons and strawberries on the roof top of my uncles house. My mother screamed without loud sound; every one get down stairs. But I was glued to the object in the air, as if I move it was going get me; then it hover right above me. I can not make out the duration of the time it stood still in the air. Then suddenly it split in to three different glowing objects, now the movement of the object was indescribable; it was one but many at the same time; I remember the color changes as it danced. When I realized it is all happening in real life time;. It started to move away from us. We all looked at each other in silence. Then I saw red more orange light glowing from my sisters eye. I turned around, I saw a giant flames of huge rock like object just gliding over us. It came so close to us that we could see all the small burning craters, we dropped on the floor expecting to feel the great heat from it, but it just gently glided over us with out any interventions.

One Week Visit by Huge Saucer over Korea

I'm suprized not to have found this sighting on any calender of UFO events, but it was widely seen by public and military, and it was published in an English language edition of some local newspaper in Tokyo/Yokohama, Japan.

I was working in Army Headquarters in Yokohama Japan, message center. For a period of 4 days a saucer was seen directly over the 38 parallel in Korea. The military had it on radar and said it's altitude was 40,000 feet. People at that point could see it from the ground.

After 4 days air force jets were sent up to get a closer look, but not to fire at it. As they reached about 20,000 feet, the saucer lifted up to 80,000, an altitude that the jets could not achieve.

It stayed at that altitude for another 3 days. It was calculated to be 900 feet across -- and then just disappeared. How can government deny existance of such info. It's said that anything they can't control is a threat and denied.

Project Twinkle green fireballs sighted in Korea during same period of 1948-1950 as in the U.S. Southwest.

I have never seen a UFO; however, my father told me an interesting sighting he had when he was in junior high school - sometime in 1948-1950 - in Korea. It was during the daytime when he saw a bright bluish-green light in the sky. It was so bright that it seemed to light up the whole area even in daylight. It seemed to be hovering in the sky and my father assumed that it must have been a comet that was flying directly towards him so that it created the illusion of hovering. It disappeared after a while, and he never told anyone about it because it was so strange. Also, he noted that there seemed to be some sort of cylindrical/prism-like shape inside the light and sketched it out for me. I happened to be flipping though a book on UFOs and noticed a blurb about Project Twinkle and realized that the dates and descriptions matched exactly. So, I guess that this means that the perceived phenomena was not restricted solely to the American Southwest. Also, my father is highly rational and pragmatic and doesn't indulge in thoughts about the paranormal. Neither of us previously knew anything about Project Twinkle. The perfect match between his description and dates with the Project Twinkle sightings confirms that what he saw was real.
