SUBJECT: UFO STORIES FILE: UFO489 PART - 13 Report #: 16 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 12-10-1986 Location: HUMPTY DOO, AUSTRALIA CASE TYPE: LRS DATE: 15 SEPTEMBER 1986 TIME: 2220 HOURS CFN#: 16 DURATION: UNKNOWN WITNESSES: MANY SOURCE: N.T.NEWS, DARWIN,N.T.,AUSTRALIA ------------------------------------------- Territory Authorities are baffled by last night's sighting in three different centres of a mystery object in the Top End sky. Humpty Doo residents, Rick and Moya Trippe, were driving home along the Stuart Highway about 10:20 pm when they noticed an object with a flaming orange tail moving towards the ground at a 45 degree angle. A short time later Groote Eylandt and Roper River police reported sightings of a mystery light over the Katherine region. To add to the intrigue, Katherine's power supply suddenly cut out late last night and there were reported disruptions to phone lines in the town. The hour long disruption was reported to have been caused by an earthing problem. The weather bureau and Aviation Department can give no explanation. There were no scheduled flights over the area and the bureau reported no unusual weather phenomenon. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Report #: 17 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 12-10-1986 Location: BARNSLEY, ENGLAND CASE TYPE: CE II DATE: 22 AUGUST 1986 TIME: 2250 HOURS CFN#: 17 DURATION: UNKNOWN WITNESSES: ONE SOURCE: CHRONICLE, BARNSLEY, YORKS, ENGLAND ----------------------------------------------- A BARNSLEY man is recovering after a close encounter with a flying saucer! Mr. Joh Brook fled in fright after the UFO turned a blinding white fluorescent type beam on him. Mr. Brook, of Berby Street, Barnsley, felt a tingling sensation throughout his body for the few seconds he was transfixed by the light coming from beneath the oval shaped, 60 feet wide object. He has spoken for the first time this week about the experience which left him ashen-faced. The UFO was hovering at a height of about 50 feet in the night sky somewhere in the direction of the Co-op Dairy in Summer Lane. The object had flashing red and purple lights on its side. Mr. Brook, an unemployed technical illustrator, said the close encounter took place at about 10:50 p.m. on a recent Friday. He told the Chronicle: "I was on my way home from the pub when I saw the object in the sky. From where I was standing, it looked as though it was spinning on it axis. Suddenly, this bright white light with a fluorescent tint shone down on me. I had to close my eyes, it was so bright. "I felt this tingling sensation all over and through my body and the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end. "I just turned and ran as fast as I could towards home. I know that people will suggest that either I was drunk or just another nutter but I had only drunk about three pints that night because I am unemployed and that was all I could afford." When Mr. Brook got home, he and his wife Josephine watched the UFO from their garden before it disappeared. Mrs. Brook said: "When John got home he was out of breath and his face was as white as a sheet. I have known him for about six years and I have never seen him so frightened." This was the third time that Mr. Brook has had an encounter with a UFO. His first sighting was in the early 1970s and the second, which took place last year while he was with his neighbour, Mr. Richard Shirt, was reported to the Royal Air Force. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Report #: 18 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 12-18-1986 Location: BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND CASE TYPE: LRS DATE: 09 OCTOBER 1986 TIME: UNKNOWN CFN#: 18 DURATION: UNKNOWN WITNESSES: FOUR SOURCE: SANDWELL MAIL, WEST MIDLANDS, ENGLAND ------------------------------------------------- Reports of an unidentified flying object hovering over a Birmingham hospital are being investigated by UFO experts. The 400ft long by 60 ft wide cigar shaped object was spotted by staff at Good Hope Hospital in Sutton Coldfield during a night shift. Three nurses and a doctor who were taking a tea break all saw the silent object hovering about 800ft up. The matter has been reported to UFO-Studies Investigations, an amateur organization funded by British Aerospace, and the sightings are being investigated. Mr. John Hurley, of the Midland branch of the organization said: "Ninety-five per cent of all sightings can be explained away after investigation as an aircraft an airship, balloon, helicopter or even a bright star, but not in this case." He added: "Birmingham airport said they spotted something on the radar." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Report #: 19 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 12-18-1986 Location: FOREST ROW, ENGLAND CASE TYPE: LRS - NL DATE: 07 SEPTEMBER 1986 TIME: UNKNOWN CFN#: 19 DURATION: 10: MINUTES WITNESSES: THREE SOURCE: NEWS IN FOCUS,E.GRINSTEAD, ENGLAND ---------------------------------------------- A Forest Row woman still can not believe her eyes after sighting what she can only describe as a UFO. Last Thursday evening just after midnight Mrs. Penny Crowder was leaving Ursula and Tom Scratchly's house in Post Horn Lane, Forest Row. Before getting into her car Mrs. Crowder looked up at the clear night sky and saw a glowing orange ball with a pale orange aura surrounding it move across the sky from west over the Royal Ashdown golf course. Thinking she might be imagining things she called out to her friend Penny and they walked up the lane to get a better view. The two women were so astounded that they asked Penny's husband Tom to confirm what they were seeing. "It was a fiery colour and looked as though it was lit up in some way." said Mrs. Crowder. "We were just incredulous, you couldn't relate it to anything because you had never seen anything like it," she said. The three stood watching the UFO for about ten minutes as it progressed noiselessly to the east and out of sight. Looking for a rational explana-tion for what they had witnessed, they telephoned flight control at Gatwick. Gatwick said nothing had showed up on radar but asked them to file a detailed description and a diagram. They considered all the other possibilities, a hot air balloon, a satellite, but none of these fitted the description of what they had seen. They sat and talked until three in the morning about the strange fiery object. "It gave you an eery feeling as it came straight towards you" said Mrs. Crowder, who has never before spent time puzzling over the arguments for and against the existence of UFOs. "When you started thinking about it you got a bit frightened," she said,"I had the spooks all a the way home." Mrs. Crowder is not the first to be "spooked" by ball-shaped objects flying over the Ashdown Forest. In the late 1970s a spate of sightings over the forest exactly match the description of what Mrs. Crowder and the Scratchlys saw last Thursday evening. In April 1978 local police launched a search of the area after a Nutley woman saw what she called a "ball of fire" hurtle past her window. She then saw bits break off the object and fall directly on to the Forest. At least six people in the Forest witnessed it, and on that night firemen were called to put out fires in two areas of the forest. News in Focus would be interested to hear from anyone else who saw the Thursday night fireball. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Report #: 20 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 12-18-1986 Location: SANTIAGO, CHILE CASE TYPE: CE II DATE: 15 JUNE 1986 TIME: 0200 HOURS DURATION: UNKNOWN WITNESSES: MANY SOURCE: THE PRESS, MANAGUA, NICARAGUA ----------------------------------------- City and country of incident: Santiago, Chile Date of incident: June 15, 1986 Name of paper and date of clip: THE PRESS, June 18, 1986 City and country of newspaper: Managua, Nicaragua (CREDIT: A/SPR) CHILE: UFO BLOWS ROOFS OFF SIX HOUSES Santiago, Chile (EFE) -- A UFO in the form of a blue cloud "sucked up" the roofs of six homes in a neighborhood of the South Zone of Santiago in the early morning hours last Sunday. The rest of the roofs, chimnies, and electrical cables remained scattered in turn, to each of the houses. The neighbors, according to an acount that was published today in the newspaper, THE THIRD, said that at 2 a.m. on Sunday, they felt as if there was a very strong wind, or an earthquake. At the same time, everything lit up in a bright blue for 30 seconds. "It was a force that threw everything up," declared Patricia de Salvo, one of those affected in their home by the strange phenomenon. The Weather Bureau added that it (the phenomenon) could not be con- sidered as a tornado, neither a hurricane, because these phenomena affect entire cities. The neighbors Juan Lagos and Enrique Ceron described the phenomenon as a "blue cloud" that passed over, leaving this devastating effect to the roofs of their houses and their clarified it (the blue cloud) as an apparent "UFO." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Report #: 21 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 12-18-1986 Location: KARLSKRONA, SWEDEN CASE TYPE: LRS - NL DATE: 18 SEPTEMBER TIME: 2230 HOURS CFN#: 21 DURATION: UNKNOWN WITNESSES: FIVE SOURCE: BLEKINGE LANS TIDNING --------------------------------- City and country of incident: Karlshamn, Blekinge Region, Sweden Date of incident: September 18, 1986 Name of paper and date of clip: BLEKINGE LANS TIDNING, September ?, 1986 City and country of newspaper: Karlskrona, Sweden (CREDIT: Erik Fredriksson) LADIES GOING HOME FROM BINGO SAW "SPACESHIP" NEAR YSANE VILLAGE "None of us has seen anything like that before. We were very upset and it was difficult to sleep that night." It is Dagny Stonsebro from Solvesborg telling the story. On Thursday evening, she and four girl friends were on the way home from a bingo evening in Karlshamn. Near Ysane, they observed a shining light in the heavens. At a distance, it looked like a big star. But it changed form when it came nearer. "We felt observed and pursued. It was quite unpleasant," said Mrs. Stonesebro. The time was some minutes after 10:30 when the ladies first observed the phenomenon. It passed very quickly through the sky, went back and circled around. "The object was orange and the color glowed. The body was oval-shaped and appeared to be of metal. When we approached the BP gas station, I estimate that the object was about 100 meters away and perhaps 50 meters high. It disappeared then behind the trees. But later, it was observed in the village of Falkvik and was described as elongated, said Dagny Stonsebro. "One of my girlfriends could observe the object right to the village of Mjallby, about 5 kilometers away, where she lives. I don't know what it was, she said, but it was absolutely not an airplane." From the airfield F13 in Kallinge weather station, they suspected it could be from the big NATO manuever outside Denmark. Perhaps some shining light. ********************************************** * THE U.F.O. BBS - http://www.ufobbs.com/ufo * **********************************************
