Cylinder Mother–ships Are Back,
Expect More Sightings.

This week’s files cover: Huge Mother-Ships May Indicate Extraterrestrial Life, Astronaut and Mars photos show Mother-ships.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena were spotted over:
These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over one hundred UFOs reported each week represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when I chased one over
Huge Mother-ships Indicate Extraterrestrial Life
Reports of large, cigar or cylinder shaped, aircraft carrier sized UFOs also known, as 'Motherships' appear to have started as early as 1870, with a wave of sightings in 1896-7 with sightings throughout the Midwest United States.

A wave of sightings was reported over England in 1909. During World War I hardly a night would go by without numerous reports of German Zeppelin activity over the
Captain Stansfield of the trawler SS Ape and many of his crew on December 15, 1914, reported sighting a black airship. After the war airship records were read and all German airships were in their hangars due to bad weather. On September 6, 1914, Flight Commander C. E. Rathborne of the Felixstowe Naval Air Station, 
The Zeppelin fleet over the
Based on the descriptions of cylinder shaped craft, it appears many of the reports may have been Mothership UFOs. Often English pilots would pursue the zeppelins across the sky but they had little chance of catching them. The zeppelins would be at a considerable altitude and the Zeppelin's cruising speed was often comparable to that of the aeroplane chasing it. To make matters worse, if a pilot did manage to catch up to the airship, the zeppelins were bristling with machine guns.
The British National Archives has a World War II report discovered by UFO researchers David Clark and Andy Roberts from RAF 61 Squadron. Aircraft Commander ‘J,’ Captain W/O Lever reports, “The object was seen by the entire crew of the above aircraft during raid on

The crew saw the object twice during the raid and brief details are given below. After bombing, time 2240 hours, aircraft height 11,000 feet. The aircraft at this time was some 10/15 miles southwest of
“The captain reports that he saw a similar object three months ago North of Amsterdam. In this instance it appeared to be on the ground and later traveling at high speed at a lower level than the heights given above along the coast for about two seconds; the lights then went out for the same period of time and came on again, and the object was still seen to be traveling in the same direction.”
British author Nick Redfern states, British Military records reveal that a fleet of flying discs -- called 'Foo Fighters' -- were launched from huge cigar-shaped Mothercraft during B-17 daylight raids over 
During the 1950s and 1960s so called Mother-ships were seen in fairly large numbers. These are exceptionally large craft usually cylinder or cigar shaped craft although some are reported to be disc shaped. The Mother-ships are essentially modern-day aircraft carriers.
They are usually described as being hundreds to thousands of feet in length, and were often reported launching smaller disc shaped craft. The operations were similar in size and complexity to launches and recovery of craft like our own aircraft carriers. Usually these operations would be seen in the early evening with recovery of the scout discs occurring later in the evening. The scout disc craft apparently carried out abduction operations, scavenging for food and minerals. The disc shaped craft have often been reported above power lines or power stations. We can speculate that they are able to recharge their propulsion systems using electrical power. Occasionally, these operations cause power outages. These Mother-ships suggest an extraterrestrial origin for such large craft.

Mars Images Suggest Life
Russian Colonel Dr. Maria Popovitch whose husband Pavel is a general and cosmonaut claims, "The last transmissions from the Soviet Phobos 2 satellite was an image of a gigantic cylindrical Mother-ship photographed on 25 March 1989.

After that last frame was transmitted to Earth, the probe mysteriously disappeared. One transmission showed an oblong like a marquise shaped shadow on the surface of Mars. According to Dr. John Becklake of the

Cylinder craft are also being observed flying over the Mar's Rovers on a fairly regular basis.

Satsuma -- Back on December 2, 2006, I was out in the back yard with the dogs. They were playing so I decided to carry my video camera and catch some video of them. I walked back to the NE corner of the yard where I stood under a overhanging oak limb which blocked the morning sun from my eyes. It was around 10:30 am and the sun was not quite due south of my position. Upon blocking the sun by the oak tree an object became apparent in the sky. It was about 15 degrees east of the sun and 45 degrees up. I quickly grabbed my camera and took the video which I am attaching to this report. It was a clear day and no sound was heard. The sight lasted about 1 1/2 minutes. At that point I lost visual of the object. I'm just glad I had my camera with me.

Arkansas Colonel Reports Lights 'Not of this World'
Van Buren -- A retired Air Force colonel who photographed mysterious, colorful lights hovering over western Arkansas last week "I believe these lights were not of this world, and I feel a duty and responsibility to come forward," said Col. Brian Fields, who spent nearly 32 years in the military piloting F-16 fighter jets states, "I have no idea what they were." Fields, 61, was cooking on January 9 when just before 7 PM, he observed two intensely bright lights as he looked to the southeast close to the horizon. They hung in the sky for ten minutes or more. Officials now claim the lights were military flares.
Editor's Note. They may have been flares, but Col. Fields as a member of the 188th Fighter Wing must have seen many during his career. "I'm certain it wasn't an aircraft from earth," said fields, who also ruled out the possibility of flares, but it seems an F-16 pilot would know what they look like.Airborne Laser Continues testing
Clearlake Oaks -- I was walking past my dinning room window when I noticed a very bright light over the hills to the west of the hills of Clearlake Oak on January 24, 2007 Time: 5:PM. I went outside to check it out and it was moving from the west to east coming closer, actually in my direction just a little north of my house. And as it got closer it zoomed way up in the sky in a blink of an eye. It went from being about 1500 to 2000 feet up to at least 30,000 feet, maybe more. It was just a speck to my eye then. I have some pictures of it. I grabbed my digital cam on the way out the door. I would like to send them to you. Thanks to Brian Vike HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccufo.org .
Pittsburg -- Steve Reichmuth, Northern California MUFON, investigated the 6:55 PM, sighting on January 15, 2007 of two bright, reddish orange lights moving slow above Highway 4, and turning west very slowly. Some of the witness used binoculars. I did a through investigation personally interviewing the witnesses (eight persons in total) on the
SSD- Alameda / Contra Costa Co.

Honolulu -- Andrew Pereira's writes, "Its hard to draw a surfer's attention away from the next wave, but whatever was in the southwest sky Friday evening, January 26, 2007, around 6:20 PM, drew a crowd along Kewalo Basin and Ala Moana Beach Park.
“I was a little concerned. I told him come over and sit with me - this might be the last surf session we ever have together because this thing's coming straight for
Editor's Note: More sightings will likely follow the Mother-ship sightings.

O'HARE Airport – NUFORC Director Peter B Davenport reports he has spoken to, "An actual, original witness to the O'Hare Airport UFO sighting and has confirmed the photos being passed around the Internet are NOT what was seen. The photos that have come forward almost certainly have nothing to do with the original sighting over O'Hare. One of the witnesses has looked at them, and declared that neither looks anything like the object he witnessed on November 07, 2006. Thanks to
BOWLING GREEN -- I was looking at the clouds on my sidewalk when my parents came out and I saw a metallic object in the sky. I noticed it out of the corner of my eye because I saw a bright shine on it from the sun and I turned and this is what I saw. It was very very low to the ground, it was a sphere with yellowish green lights around the side and a red glowing sphere on the bottom. I thought it was a plane but I knew it was not human. I saw that it was going about 90 mph but slowed down. I blinked, it was gone. I looked around and did not see or hear anything after or during the event. I was petrified believe it! Then, I went inside and told my sister and did not think too much about it, but I couldn't believe it disturbs me and I am shaking thinking about it while reporting it now. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Anson – Brian Vike HBCC UFO reports, "I telephoned the gentleman over his sighting on January 21, 2007 and had a wonderful conversation with the man. He also told me he has had some missing time experiences and his story was really amazing to say the least.
Three witnesses spotted an oval shaped object over a small pond at the intersection of RT. 234 and the Horseback Road in a rural area of Maine about six miles from the nearest town. My former fiancé Olivia, who was driving, her mother Helen, and I were headed to the town of Anson, as we took a right turn onto the horseback road, Helen, who rarely curses, said loudly, "What the hell is that!" She was sitting in the rear drivers side seat. I was in the passenger seat. Olivia stopped the vehicle , and I looked out the drivers window.
Sitting perfectly still in the sky was a huge, about 300 feet long, silver oval shaped something! It looked to be less than 1000 feet away and was about 50 feet thick. The top of this thing had a reddish glow, and the whole thing had markings or corrugations on it, it reminded me of the old Jiffypop popcorn dome. This thing made no noise and did not move while we were watching. There were no control surfaces or any kind of cabin or gondola visible, and I could see the entire length of it, no ropes or wires either. The vehicle remained running and no electrical disturbance was noticed. After about three minutes Oliva's vehicle started rolling, a small stand of evergreens blocked our view for about ten seconds and when we could see the sky again the thing was gone.
The next day, I drove past the little pond and noticed a round hole in the ice, where the thing was hovering. I also noticed a rash on the side of my body that burned and itched for several days, it also hurt, like I had been kicked. I talked to people in the area about this sighting and one friend said that he and his sister saw something just like it at the same location three years before. Others have seen different things also. I have also had multiple sightings at different times as well as 2 incidents with missing time, I will post these later.

. "But, the instant I put my glass down, I said, 'that's not a blimp.'" The object moved from west to east, very slowly for something that size, he said. His initial instinct was that the object was moving at about 100 knots, but something that big shouldn't be able to stay in the air if it's going that slow, he said. The object began changing colors from a bright silver to an orange-ish red. Thanks to Brian Vike

Photo taken over Colorado August 27, 1995
did not see any lights associated with the object and it looked like a fuselage of dull gray with no wings. It did not reflect the sunlight, which was very bright at the time. The other thing I remember was that it appeared to be starting to bank to the South and that is why I was looking for shadows of wings or a tail when it "disappeared" from full view, still at my 11:00 position. Thanks to MUFON CMS www.mufon.com
Wilkesboro-- On January 17, 2007, I could see a very, very large object with two large lights on the front of it, that would remind you of a light on a commercial train. At 9:00 PM, when the object passed in front of me, it was a brownish-rust color. The metal on the outside of the object was not smooth. It had a rough siding, that was brownish-rust in color, with a very low sound coming from it. When it passed by me the trees blocked my view and I went inside my house, because I was shocked by what I had just witnessed. PS: I couldn't make out the shape, but, it appeared to be like a rectangular shape as it approached in my direction. Clear Skies. Visibility 10 Miles.
Investigator's Notes: I have no explanation for this report. The characteristics do not fit any conventional aircraft. http://ufosnw.com
High Point -- At 7:52 pm, on January 24, 2007, I was outdoors talking on a cell phone and began noticing a distant, but very strong white and slightly yellowish light due north. My first impression was that it was a flare, that was moving very slowly. It was just above a distant tree line. The object's direction of flight was 125-130 degrees, and was the brightest object I have ever seen in the sky at any time in my life. It's brightness and its slow movement were the two outstanding characteristics I noticed. After several seconds, a short streak began to form behind the object, then a sizable section of the object slowly broke away and trailed just behind the main body. Very small portions of the object began to break away forming the streak. After only a few seconds more, it all disintegrated in the night sky. Total viewing time was perhaps 15 seconds or more. It actually reminded me of an aircraft on fire from a missile, but the light was burning way too brightly, it seemed, and was not flickering or descending very much. I have seen an aircraft shot down by a missile, before, and I do not believe this to be the case. I am left with the impression that this was an unusually slow meteor--or a UFO that ran into serious trouble. Whatever it was, it was a rare sight.

FOSToRia—George Ritter sent this photo of a cylinder shaped object shot recently over a nearby farm.
I stayed to watch the slowly moving object (that at times appeared to accelerate and hover for about ten minutes), then continued my run back home. When I left it was still moving south-west but somewhat faster. I am sure it was not a conventional aircraft, a helicopter, a bird or balloon, but was some kind of self-propelled round, cylindrical-shaped device. What the main larger object was or the smaller ones were, I cannot specifically identify. One more point, I have excellent near-sighted vision and don't wear glasses for driving.

On January 22, 2007, two triangle shaped objects glowing softly with no other illumination shot across the sky. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Hope -- I was a skeptic until last night, January 23, 2007, I was outside walking my dog at about 10 PM, and happened to look up to the sky and I saw what looked like a thick "tube" of bright yellow/white light in the sky above me.

This photo is part of the French Cometa Report and illustrates this sighting report.
At first, I thought maybe it was a low flying jet, but the light was more like a wide tube filled with light than jet headlights - and it was heading south west overhead away from me not towards me. It was moving too fast and too low in the sky to be a jet.
There was total silence for the moment that I saw the object. It basically streaked across a small portion of the open sky above me and then literally disappeared in the open and completely visible sky. There were absolutely no clouds overhead - it flew over rather fast, then evaporated into nothing. Thanks to Brian Vike HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccufo.org .

Assuming the disc is 25 feet in diameter the Mother-ship is about 700 feet in length. The protrusion on the bottom opened and closed to launch and recover the discs.
The craft moved in a rocking motion like a boat on swells. After launching craft the Mother-ship flipped to a vertical position and made a rapid upward ascent. Thanks to August Roberts and Wendelle Stevens. UFO Photographs Vol. 2.
Santa Isabel -- Chaves Luis Alberto Lopez, 41, lives in Santa Isabel, located some 300 km west of
The luminous object flooded his house with light, projected an intense white light over an area of approximately 50 meters, issuing ...an almost imperceptible whistling sound, like that of a wire in the wind. The light moved over the animal pens, lighting them from an altitude calculated at some 50/80 meters, moving at a given time to some 200 meters from the house, where hovered for three minutes before vanishing. Lopez believes that the light he saw was indeed a UFO. Report from Raul Oscar CIUFOS-LAPAMPA, Journal of Hispanic Ufology (translation (c) S. Corrales, IHU.)

Joao Pessoa Tambau -- After having a long nap from 7:00 until 10:30 p.m. I got up and stayed awake, while my husband and daughter went to bed. I was searching the Internet for maps to locate Mc Naught comet (C/2006 P1) in my place (Latitude: 7° 06', South. Longitude: 34° 53', West),
On January 18, 2007, I went to bed thinking about the Mc Naught comet and stayed observing the clear sky from my bedroom window (6th floor) a 100 meters from the beach. I am facing the sea and "Ponta do Seixas" - the eastern most point of the
I spotted what, at a first sight, looked like a tiny cloud blown by the wind. When I observed it properly, I noticed its triangular shape without a clear contour made up of some faint points of white light (I could not count how many points - may be six or seven...). The delta shaped "thing" was traveling fast and soundless from southeast to northwest in a peculiar way with its wider angle pointing sideway (even a delta shaped airplane would not fly with one of the wings heading!). I then realized that could be a formation of orbs.
It was difficult to guess the altitude but it could be compared to a commercial plane flying at 3000 meters. It soon went of my visual field (passing over my roof) - I ran to the next room, facing north and in a second I could spot the triangular shape again. I observed it until it faded into the light sky of the city.
The observation took 20 seconds. And my first impression is an altitude of 3000 m = 3 km. An estimated length of 76 to 153 meters, traveling at 954 km/h. A diagram can be found at the HBCC UFO Research website: http://www.hbccufo.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1390
Ceará --On November 11, 2006, the Brazilian UFO Magazine received a report from a communication engineer who observed small UFOs seen in State of

The witnesses report that the sondas can get close to people, animals and houses, sometime entering them (using doors, windows or just going through the wall and ceiling). The sondas also seem to react to people’s feelings, but approaching or going away if the witnesses feel delighted to see them or afraid of them. The sondas can enlarge and contract themselves, change colors and more rarely format, but the most amazing thing is that they seem to reside permanently in some places. Generations of the same families have witnessed sondas in action in rural areas close to small hills, creeks, rocky terrain etc.

Now, for some reason, it has been extremely hard to take photos and films of the sondas, and very few are known. However, the engineer that wrote to the Brazilian UFO Magazine has succeeded in taking photos and 12-second video of a sonda with his cell phone. He also reported having seen, several sondas in action. One exploded in front of his eyes. He then got a few fragments from the ground, still emanating some sort of light, and took pictures of them. A detailed sondas article has ben published by the Brazilian UFO Magazine. Thanks to A. J. Gevaerd, Editor, Brazilian UFO Magazine www.ufo.com.br/
Italian UFO Newsflash Issue No. 494 –
The Italian Center for UFO Studies (Centro Italiano Studi Ufologici, CISU) - reports the provisional total for 2006 is 605 reports collected as of January 10: seemingly a low figure, if compared to the recent years UFO sightings reports in Italy coordinated by Giorgio Abraini. There were only seventeen in December , one of the lowest figures since 2000.. 20% of reports were actually para-ufological (as many as 60 were crop circles retrievals); more than 30% of reports (15% of events) were explainable as meteors. About half of the observations came from Northern Italy, more than 25% from the South, and a little less than that originated in
Japanese Mother-ship
In Nagoya City, Japan a young student Hirohito Tanaka snapped photos of this cylinder shaped Mother-ship launching and recovering small round objects or discs on September 3, 1975, at 14:30 Hours. Thanks to Wendelle Sstevens .
TAMAULIPAS -- According to a news item published in the January 17, 2007 edition of Reynoso's "La Tarde" newspaper, an unidentified flying object with multicolored lights was reported over the town of
Ciudad de Mexico

A photograph of a cylinder shaped object was taken on July 2, 2005.

"On the following photos the spot remained in its place while the craft and clouds were moving quickly" - he admitted. After an analysis of the photo with graphic programs, the man noticed an anomalous nature of the object. The case is under investigation. http://nol-polishufojournal.blogspot.com/
AYRSHIRE -- A wife and her husband film an unusual aerial display on January 21, 2007 between the hours of 5 and 5:30 AM. The wife reports that "it was probably some freak electrical storm, but the skies were clear! I could see from Bearsden strange lightning type of flashes coming intermittently [every 4 or 5 mins or so] from a single point maybe somewhere over Ayrshire moors. No sound of thunder just one bright white flash which looked like it had a centre point emitting outwards in a circular fashion. this I noticed at 5 AM and it went on till about 5:50 AM. It was initially a clear sky at 5 which eventually had a few clouds at 5:40ish when I managed to get a video of it. It then looked liked lightening because of the clouds but looked more like a nuclear blast before clouds. Any idea what it was? Any other reports of strange lights? Any lightning recorded at that time? The reporter has informed us that this sighting was reported to the BAA. Anyone having information on this sighting is asked to contact uforc.com.
