SUBJECT: UFO STORIES FILE: UFO488 PART - 12 Report #: 1 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 07-03-1986 Location: VICTOR HARBOUR,AUSTRALIA CASE TYPE: LRS - CO DATE: 25 MAY 1986 TIME: DAY CFN#: 01 DURATION: UNKNOWN WITNESSES: MANY SOURCE: ADVERTISER, Adelaide, S.A. Australia -------------------------------------------------- RAAF has no plans to seek car-sized UFO An unidentified flying object much bigger then a family car" is lying at the bottom of Encounter Bay Victor Harbor, after plummeting to earth soon after midday on Saturday. The object, unofficially logged as a meteorite by the RAAF base at Edinburgh, was seen by dozens of people from as far south as post MacDonnell in the South-East and south-Western Victoria. Senior Constable G.A. Clemow, of Beachport, said he and several other Beachport people had seen a large, smoke-colored vapor trail left by the object as it speed past at cloud height. The trail had taken more then five minutes to begin dispersing. Sen Const Clemow said a thornleigh farmer Mr.Neil Sutherland, had told him the object looked like a rocket, with a propeller-like device at the rear, fins and a fair bit of red paint. Mr.Sutherland had described the fast-moving tube as much bigger then a family car. Beachport resident Mr Gary Chambers said he had seen the object for only a few seconds as it came down. It looked like a falling star, but in broad daylight, Mr Chambers said it was very high up I thought it burned up above the horizon. Mr George Thorn, of Victor Harbor said his wife had seen the object falling towards the sea. Moments later, though binoculars, he had seen what he thought at the time to be a very large red and white boat bobbing up and down in the heavy swell, about five kilometres offshore. It had sunk monents later and three boats found nothing. Police and RAAF Officials said they knew of no plans to look for the object, lying in at least 20 fathoms of water. A department spokesman in Adelaide said no RAAF Hercules had reported anything and there was no sighting on any radar screens. He said the department would investigate but he knew only what had been reported. He said he was curious about a witness who described the object as looking like a "cruise missile." What does a cruise missile look like? I work in defence I've never seen one, he said as for the chance that the object was an extraerrestrial that not show up on radar, the spokesman said with a chuckle: "There's a possibility it could be anything, if in fact there is something, but at the moment we know nothing." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Report #: 2 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 07-09-1986 Location: BRUNFLO,JAMTLANDS, SWEDEN CASE TYPE: LRS DATE: 17 APRIL 1986 TIME: 21:45 HOURS CFN#: 02 DURATION: SEVEN HOURS WITNESSES: FIVE - PLUS SOURCE: OSTERSUNDS-POSTEN, SWEDEN MAY 6,1986 -------------------------------------------------- Saw one gigantic 150 meter long floating object: It was on monday evening, April 17, that Mr. Karl Axelsson from Brunflo had his most remarkable experience of his life. When Mr.Axelsson was driving his mother-in-law home, they observed a strange light phenomenon in the hazy evening. Mr. Axelsson returned later to the sighting location with his binoculars. What he saw was so sensational that he is still really upset when he re- tells the story. Right over one hill, Sheepskin hill, was a gigantic floating object, about 150 meters long. The whole object was divided into sections and looked like a lighted cement block. At the top of the object were two searchlights rotating like a lighthouse. He observed the object for seven hours. During this time he made many interesting observations. At 21:45 was the regular lin-flight from Stocholm to Froson-Ostersund airport. Right before the plane appeared, the object seemed to pump ogt steam and when the plane passed, it was coated in a cloud. On two further occasions, aircraft were passing, but at this time the light was closed, so as not to be discovered. At one time during the remarkable observation, Mr.Axelsson, was really scared. He said: "Both rotating searchlights swept in an enormous arc. When the strong light was near me, I was quite blinded. Once one of the searchlights beamed against me and my car. It was a frightening feeling. The cone of light was formed as an endless corridor. Inside the corridor, one was not blinded, but became aware of a strong, squared shining light. Mr.Axelsson, then jumped out of his car and ran home, and telephone two of his workmates. One of them, Mr.Hakan Forslund, also engeged in the UFO studies, said: "When we went up to the sighting area, the object had changed its position and was now floating over the Lockne sea. I can agree with Mr.Axelsson, description. One of the things I noticed was that the searchlight beam from the object was much stronger then the foglight from the Lockne factory. During the observation time, the object changed position four times. ( During one occasion, two small objects left the larger one. One of them circled over Grytans range.) We were at most five who observed the object at the same time. I know others who saw the object, but they don't like to tell anything about the sighting. From that evening on, there were other reports of a similar sighting of the object in about the same location. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Report #: 3 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 07-10-1986 Location: MORLEY, ENGLAND CASE TYPE: LRS - NL DATE: 24 MARCH 1986 TIME: 20:30 HOURS CFN#: 03 DURATION: UNKNOWN WITNESSES: TWO - PLUS SOURCE: OBSERVED, ENGLAND - APRIL 17, 1986 ------------------------------------------------ Mr.Philip Mantle, an investigator for UFO sightings said: A woman from Bradford who was travelling home along the Bradford/Wakefield road around 8:30 P.M. on March 24, she saw a large circular shaped object with multicoloured lights in the skies over Morley.

Mr. Peter Charman was out walking his dogs in Paddington Grove late at night when his gaze was drawn by a strange light in the sky. "It was moving slowly but I couldn't see any definite outline -like a sparkler that kept going on and off," he said. "It was my firt UFO sighting." "It lasted for about two or three minutes and was flying at 2,000-3,000 feet," added Mr. Charman, a coach driver who lives in the Grove. But he's not claiming the mystery night-flyer was an extra-terrestrial starship. "It was an unidentified flying object - UFO is not necessarily synonymous with spaceships," he explained. "So I don't think I'll be carrying any little green men on my coach!" He is appealing for anyone who saw the incident, on Tuesday (June 17) at 11 p.m., to contact him on Bournemouth 575875. Hurn Airport had no reports of sightings on that date, they said. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Report #: 5 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 08-06-1986 Location: READING, ENGLAND CASE TYPE: LRS - DS DATE: 15 JUNE 1986 TIME: UNKNOWN CFN#: 05 DURATION: UNKNOWN WITNESSES: ONE SOURCE: EVENING POST ------------------------------------ READING pensioner Peter Littlewood is convinced he saw an unidentified flying object hovering above the town yesterday. Mr. Littlewood, aged 62, is so sure the jumbo jet-sized object was a UFO he wants to get in touch with experts and have his sighting recorded. He said: "I was driving up Peppard Road when I noticed an object in the sky, in between the two rows of lime trees. "It was stationary and remained in the air until the leaves of the trees obscured it from my view. "I parked in Moss Close and scanned the sky but all I could see was a thin vapour trail which I think came from an aeroplane. "I am positive it was not a hot air baloon or an airship. It was silver colored, shaped like a hamburger. ********************************************** * THE U.F.O. BBS - http://www.ufobbs.com/ufo * **********************************************
