A NASA video of the launch of the Columbia Space Shuttle in 2003 shows foam falling off the external tank just below the nose of the shuttle.

The photo below shows a UFO on the left just after booster separation as Columbia passes through 222,000 feet and 48 Miles from the Cape Canaveral.

The shuttle engines are the light on the right, while the peanut UFO is on the left. Just a few minutes after launch a UFO can be seen passing the shuttle at triple its speed. The Columbia is the object in the bottom half of the screen. NASA's Official Cause of the crash is as follows:

A piece of foam weighing two pounds fell off the 154-foot-long fuel tank during Columbia's launch on January 16, striking heat-resistant tiles on the shuttle's left wing. The fuel tank and the shuttle our accelerating through 500 mph when the foam breaks loose and falls, engineers felt this would not be a strong enough impact to hurt the shuttle. The UFO passing close by the shuttle may have created a larger impact than the foam.

On February 1, 2003, Kirkland AFB cameras pick up Columbia with trail descending from about 45 miles high traveling at 16,000 mph, at 5:53 AM, when it encounters a hovering white brighter light. The shuttle now on the left descends past the bright light and almost immediately starts breaking up. No explanation has given for UFOs in various videos. See great video at: http://www.chrisvalentines.com/sts107/realtime.html

I personally remember him as being the star of "Hangar 18", a movie about UFOs.

The intense drama opens as two astronauts are deploying a satellite from the Space Shuttle when it collides with an unidentified object. The UFO makes a crippled but safe landing in the remote southwest US where it is quickly carted off to Hangar 18 at an Air Force Base. Insiders claim this is the most true to life UFO movie ever made. The above image is a close up of the UFO from the movie. I highly recommend this movie and morn the passing of Darren McGavin at the age of 83.

Joseph Skipper writes: As in the previous Report The Real Tubes on Mars, you can see in the image of additional evidence drawn from MOC strip E 12-03186, in this new image from a different location is additional giant tube evidence.

The top or northern most tube is again the most fully formed. All these new images also demonstrate that the northern most fully formed tubes border on what appears at first view to be natural adjacent terrain to the immediate north. Additionally, as with the previous evidence, the tubes here are a part of the much larger but more lower profile cohesive mass to the immediate and adjacent south. Finally and most important, you can more clearly see the sunlight reflections gleaming off of the top surface of the main top tube system.

Notice the clear at least semi-translucent equality of the main tube and that the cohesive mass to the immediate south of the tube has many parallel wrinkles in it. The light gleam and reflection reveals the edges of a narrow band of depression indentation that runs the entire longitudinal length axis of the main tube top surface and note it is fairly uniform in its width. This looks very much like something due to fairly recent expansion stress. To exist in such a massive elevated rounded unsupported form, the most obvious explanation is that they are lighter and less massive because they are hollow and their dome like semi-translucent quality and rounded dome like shape and very glassy smooth outer surface clearly supports such a conclusion.

This is all about water, its preservation, and the capitalization on it by life of some kind including perhaps more than one life form and at different stages. The most obvious conclusion is that the fully blown tubes are artificial constructs of some higher intelligent life form based on a super elongated dome principle forming a protective shielded habitat of some kind. However, it is still possible that this is the creation of a somewhat less complex life form, possibly even originally aquatic or semi-aquatic that has manipulated up welling water and ice masses and modified them to develop protective tough outer layers and eventually inflating them into the giant tubes.

Remember that certain jellyfish in our Earth oceans have developed membrane inflation techniques to provide themselves with the ability to travel via winds, water currents, and their own propulsion. Also, these are also characterized by all living within a gelatinous form that could also be a alternative explanation for this giant tough mass as a collective organism. The point is that some such basic principles are known to us and can't be ruled out without more and better information that the MOC visuals do not supply, at least not at the resolutions that have been released to us. See multiple photos at:

PHOENIX -- On February 4, 2006, at 5 PM, a large vertical rainbow appeared within a huge translucent sharp edged two-sided with open center triangle. To the north of this incredible scene were a series of white triangles one above the other. The rainbow was very large and of equal width up and down with a brilliant light at its base. A jet appeared to be in the process of intersecting with the base of the rainbow upon second time out to look at it. I saw it on the news as they went into the commercial, but did not catch if they had explained this very strange thing.

Chico -- On February 14, 2006, the witness came out of the Kings Table Buffet at 5:20 PM, and noticed some women were commenting on a dark threatening cloud to the northeast. I scanned the sky and saw the isolated clouds and right above them was this golden/yellow object much, much brighter than the tint of clouds. I asked the ladies what is that as I pointed it out to them. I heard a 23 year old exclaim "where did it go, where did it go"? And as I looked back up it was gone. She said, "It was there and then it wasn't." The sighting lasted about 15 seconds. It was about 8-10 miles away and about the size of a #2 pencil eraser held at arm's length, so its actual size was BIG. We are starting to have activity here in the North Valley of California. Thanks to Brian Vike

FALLS VILLAGE – George writes, " I have been researching sky and weather phenomena seriously since March 7, 2005, from my locale and have taken pictures of a remarkable variety of craft. Photos were taken between March and October 10, 2005. I have some bazaar photos taken with my 1970's era Konica 35 mm camera using Kodak or Fuji 200 ASA film. They are processed at the local CVS store. I use photo shop to organize and format the presentation. The only things I do to photos is blow ups and contrast and brightness controls to enhance." Thanks to George NaytowhowCon.

TICONDEROGA – Frank Soriano writes, on July 1, 2003, I took photos of what looked like a shiny polished submarine flying over my hone. I felt compelled to go outside and took twelve photos of the object moving north to south. The UFO apparently reversed direction in the last photo.

Frank was contacted by former Police Chief Gary Sheppard of La Grange, Georgia who sent a photo his wife had taken in their backyard in March of 1997, of a similar cylinder shaped craft. In the images above Frank's photo is matched with the photo of Gary Sheppard. The image near the Columbia Space Shuttle also seems similar.

Another person sent me a sketch of a craft of a similar cylinder that they had seen over Lake George, New York in July 1997. Dr. Bruce Maccabee analyzed these photos and indicated this to be a single unidentified flying object with two major whitish sections connected by a narrow structure or of two elliptical unidentified flying objects traveling in a close formation. Thanks to Frank Soriano and Bruce Maccabee

NEW YORK CITY --Gil Rodriguez writes, "Thank you for including a few of my sightings in your new book. I am enjoying reading the reports by so many across the country and the world. I never thought that I was alone in having sightings since I was ten years old but, it is refreshing to read so many other sightings by people like myself and so many by former skeptics. When I had my first two sightings, my mother didn't dismiss my story about the five foot disk I saw but, instead, asked me to tell her about what I saw. She calmed me down, told me to have a glass of milk and slowly tell her what I saw.

The longest lull between my sightings has been eleven years (1960-1971 & 1986-1997). Now, I am having a sighting about once every year. I think it's because I am vigilent in looking at the sky and I walk a mile daily, with my camcorder hoping I can get something else on video. When I get the chance, I will send you my 50 second video of an object I shot in May 1997. I watched it change shape many times from a donut, to a cylinder/cigar, to a figure eight and back to the cylinder/cigar. I then ran home the remaining tenblocks and got my video camera. Thanks to Gil Rodriguez

Fairborn -- Around 1 AM, I awoke and was very disoriented and sick to my stomach, and it took me an hour to go back to sleep. Over the rest of the day, I have had multiple unexplained bizarre sightings and apparitions. At 7 am it is still very dark, and I wake up for my morning shower before work, and I spot a small figure move across my back porch. The figure is three feet tall and I was so frightened I locked myself in my basement room because there are no windows or ways to peek in. Around 7:30 am, I hear unexplained banging and boom noises. There is a loud ring noise in one ear.

FOSTORIA – George Ritter continues to video tape UFOs, here is one taken in March.. He sets up the cameras and video tapes for several hours. He then examines each frame.

George is planning on video taping with infra red capable cameras since many UFOs are known to operate in this type of light at high speed. Occasionally, I spot them with the naked eye while taping. He can film on a scientific repeatable basis. Thanks to George Ritter for his donation to these files.

Pennsylvania Delta to a Line of Three.

King of Prussia --At 10:30 PM, on January 17, 2006, I was on the deck behind my house. As I looked skyward, I noticed a silent small sphere moving in a Westerly direction at a good rate of speed. I observed the object for what seemed like 10 or 15 seconds and lost sight of it after it flew over my neighbor's roof and beyond. It did not appear to change altitude. The object was dark but I could not make out the color. There were no lights on the object. The sky was overcast, so this object was moving under the backlit cloud cover. My first thought was that it was a small latex balloon that got loose. I was smoking a cigarette, and it occurred to me that the wind was blowing in the opposite direction. I went back inside and checked the local news web site and confirmed that the wind was blowing to the East. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOcenter.com

Texas -- Bright Light and Triangular Aircraft

Springtown/Azle -- I deliver the Fort Worth Star Telegram, and I was out doing my paper route on February 13, 2006, around 4 AM, when I noticed a big bright slowly moving white light in the sky with a smaller white light right by it. The big bright light seemed to be following me so, I stopped and flashed my headlights and it started descending and moving directly toward me at a high speed. I put my pedal to the metal, and took off. I looked a little closer, and I saw ten smaller and dimmer lights flying right next to it. I was freaking out by this point and called my friend Tommy.

At that point, I was really freaked out and started hearing leaves rustle around my car. In the field I saw a few flashing red orbs, I tried to roll my window up, but the power windows wouldn't make a sound like the power was off. Then my car started making a strange squealing belt sound as it was very warm right around the car, even though it was about 20 degrees F.that night. At 7 AM, I finished my route and stopped at a store, but could still see the light. A craft came from the light that was a gray triangle shaped aircraft with red, white, and blue lights flashing extremely fast. just like a strobe light. I have never seen an airplane have lights that flashed that fast. It made a really strange sound as my store clerk pulled up for work and saw it too. He told me he had also seen the big bright light the previous night. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOcenter.com

Austin -- On February 13, 2006, I was in my backyard and happened to look up and saw a very large semi-transparent "veil" moving across the sky at 9:35 PM. The "veil" was very smooth, flowing, and somewhat ripple-like but did make any sound. It flew over the roof of the middle school that is twenty yards from my backyard. As the "veil" moved over the school, my dog and neighbors dogs started barking and ran toward the school with ears and tail up. I phoned my sister and then noticed a police car drive slowly down the street to be met by a second and they were shining spotlights at the school. After another ten minutes, an airplane flew over the school fairly low and slow. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOcenter.com

Wisconsin -- Row Flashing Lights

Beloit – On January 27, 2006, at 1 PM, my daughter said, "What is that?" I saw a craft flying lower than the other planes in the night sky. It was flying away from us with a complete row of about six white lights from wing to wing if it were a plane. I tried to count them but I ran in the house to get my Husband and by the time I got back out, it was further away. My daughters, and my husband saw this. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOcenter.com

Canada Sightings Continue

OSHAWA – Paul Shishis, "I have a report of another "unknown" seen with my own eyes." On February 12, 2006, I took images of objects high in the sky around noon. I noticed a white oval object high above the house. I witnessed this for about 2-3 seconds because of it's speed." Thanks to Paul Shishis

Mexico Saucer

Puerto Vallarta – On February 3, 2006, I was sitting at a beach side cantina when I noticed over the far northern most point of Punta de Mita Bay, a saucer shaped rapidly forming cloud at 6:30 PM. This cloud dissipated within sixty seconds and then reformed in a basic triangulation (or saucer type shape) in seven minutes. I notified my friends and we watched for over two hours. I have lived in Puerto Vallarta for almost nine years and I have never seen anything like this. The "cloud" continued to dissipate and reform multiple times. When it had disappeared from this location for the second time, I began to look around and noticed that the same type of formations "clouds" were forming and dissipating in other locations.. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOcenter.com

Puerto Rico: UFO Photo

Juana Díaz -- Lucy Guzman and OVNI.NET reports, On February 7, 2006, at 2:57 PM, I was taking some sample shots of the sky to show the color difference when adjusting the "white balance", a common characteristic in digital photography. When I verified them on a computer, I noticed that a mark appeared on one of the photos, in the clouds. The photos are un retouched, only compressed to send them by e-mail. The camera used was a Canon EOS 350 D (Digital Rebel XT) 8.0 megapixel and a Canon 28-105 mm lens USM. The lens has a UV had filter on it at the time of the photo.

Caguas -- The couple sees a small, human-shaped ball of light on February 13 2006. In one instance, the woman went outside and saw the ball. On another, the husband went into the bathroom and the ball followed him, only to vanish. The woman has heard voices in a strange language. Source: Andrew Alvarez  Lucy Guzmán

Republic of Ireland UFO

Armagh --The lights in our town were too bright for anyone to see the stars on January 27, 2006, at 1 PM and there were no clouds that flashed multi colors. When observed through a telescope it looked like two objects. A picture was taken that had swervey lines colored red-orange. 20 minutes. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.ufocenter.com

Poland Video

Koszalin - Photos were on January 14, 2006 by a security guard with his cell phone. He also managed to take some short [4 - 5 s.] videos. The UFO object remained visible for an hour time. Then it flew southwards. Thanks to: NPN org POLAND - www.npn.ehost.pl, 18/01/06 by: "NOL - Polish Ufological Journal" (transl: (c) Piotr A. Cielebiaś) and Brian Vike www.hbccufo.com

Spain Two White Spheres

Madrid --Two flying spheres were seen over the city and stopped in the air on January 26, 2006, at 9:45 PM. There was a white light. One 10 mts high and the other one 25 mts. high. Each sphere was two meters in diameter. The were very quiet. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOcenter.com

Uk England, Triangle Formation of Lights

Skegness -- I was observing the evening sky at 7:21 PM, on January 19, 2006, to the North West, when above me I noticed an odd formation of stars in a triangle formation. They were dull in color and not recognizable to me as any known stars. After a few seconds, no more than 10, they rotated in formation and their luminosity grew to a bright blue glow and then proceeded to move east across the sky. They proceeded slow at first before surging to a great speed, so great that after a total of no more than 20 seconds they disappeared off beyond the visible horizon.
There were other 'normal' aircraft in the vicinity, yet this 'object' was far higher in altitude and the maneuvering of it was like no other. I have never seen anything like this before in my life both personally, and professionally as an aerospace engineer. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOcenter.com

UK/Wales 3 Lights Flashing Simultaneously.

Swansea -- Around 7:19 PM, on January 14, 2006, I noticed three stars flashing simultaneously. I was convinced they must be planes, but continued to watch when the lowest descended and the second followed relatively slowly, before suddenly moving quickly after it. The highest 'star' remained in the same place, and, as I watched it, I suddenly felt as though it was watching me. Once I thought this, it began to 'spin' and a pinkish light emanated from it. The other two objects lower in the sky became visible again and all three objects spun and emanated the same light simultaneously. There was no trail and no noise as all three disappeared very quickly. Thirty minutes later I noticed a plane with a bright red flashing light moving from the direction where the objects had disappeared. I have a PhD in psychology and my profession is psychology so I'm pretty skeptical but I have never seen anything like this before, and felt compelled to share it with others.

Secrets of UFOs (Unconfirmed Data)

Colonel Ed Black writes, "During the 1920's and 1930's astronomers all over the world were reporting strange flashes and blinking lights on the surface of the Moon, that was dismissed as being impacts of meteorites. An alien race known as "The Delta" have exploited our Moon for hundreds of years, they have conducted mining operations on a massive scale and there is not a 50 mile square area on the surface of the Moon that does not show evidence of this. As you know, we only see the near side of the Moon while the far is always facing away and is the current focus of Delta mining activity. During the 1920's,and 30's Delta knew that we were well into our scientific age and that it would be but a matter of years before we would be intensely studying the Moon, and thus they greatly expanded their operations on the visible side, and got all they could get out of it before having to withdraw to the hidden side.

The Delta are not full of good will towards us, they consider us to be slightly more important than a nuisance, but they do have a strong moral code and have often shown a great deal of restraint where it concerns us. By and large they respect that the Earth is our planet, our rightful place, they come and go from Earth as they please, whenever they have a need to do so, for example, we do know that they have removed water from our oceans and taken it to the Moon, they have conducted mining on Earth as well but in a much more conservative manner. They have a much different point of view when it concerns the Moon, they do not view it as being ours. They have blasted huge craters into the Moon's crust in order to expedite mining and have robbed the Moon of millions of tons of precious crystals that one day we might very well need ourselves.

There was an extensive initial meeting in Cuba between The Delta and The Project Utopia Committee, Codename Crown, in the early Spring of 1943. A measured amount of scientific technology was provided by The Delta in return for a solemn agreement that The Delta would remain unknown by the general population, that they had exclusive rights to the Moon and would not be interfered with at any time in the future and that Army Project Echo, that bounced radio signals off the Moon, would be canceled. Among the technology that was provided by the Delta was transistor technology and aerodynamic technology that eventually led to jet propulsion.

One of the biggest misconceptions of all time is that gravity is directly proportionate to mass. For a good many years, scientists believed that since the Moon is 1/6 the mass of the Earth that it's gravitational field was 1/6 that of the Earth. In other words, a man that weighs 180 lbs on Earth would weigh only 30 lbs on the Moon. If he could jump one foot high on Earth, he would be able to jump 6 feet on the Moon with the same effort. This entire concept fell apart during the first Apollo landing on the Moon, when it was discovered that the Moon has about 64% as much gravity as the Earth at it's surface and the reason is that the Earth is spinning upon it's axis faster than the Moon. It is called centrifugal force and that is the force that counters gravity. The Earth spins on it's axis 29 1/2 times for every time the Moon turns on it's axis and yet look at the size difference. The spinning upon the axis is the centrifugal force that would tend to throw us off the planet while gravity tends to hold us down. Why is this important?

Well for years the scientific community would have us believe that the Moon is incapable of holding an atmosphere because it is too small, it does not have the gravitational ability to hold on to an atmosphere but the fact is that it does have the ability to sustain an atmosphere of at least 2 to 3 miles above it's surface and no doubt has at some point in it's history as it's topographical features would indicate. Delta are also involved with Mars and it's Moons and Saturn's Moon Titan. Our relations with the Delta went wrong with the death of Roosevelt and the changes that occurred under Truman and later Eisenhower. We actually double-crossed the Delta and how they turned against us, but only in a limited way. In the Kennedy years for the first time ever we began to play hard ball with the Delta, we defied them and challenged them and I think that this is all vital in order to understand where we are today.
