UFO Sightings Around the World - Sight Unseen, which will always be a tag for you to click from the sidebar rather than having to seek throughout the blog.  We may have a handful of BIRDS this time.

Disk shape very fast.

My family and I were on vacation in Tempe Arizona and decided to go to Sedona for the day. While at the Catholic Church built in the rock in Sedona I saw a flash in the sky, a reflection from the sun. I grabbed my camera and started taking pictures. I was only able to get one shot. I waited until now because this was my third sighting and not until what I saw on August 10th at 10:14pm did I realize that we are seen more UFO’s now than ever.

My first sighting was October 10, 1985 driving to dinner in Tempe, AZ
heading north on Scottsdale blvd. and the radio DJ breaks in and announces that Academy Award Director, Writer, Actor, Producer George Orsen Welles has died at the age 70.

No more than 2-5 minutes later the same DJ breaks in the middle of a song and starts talking about 3 lights over North Phoenix, in the perfect shape of a triangle. A red light on top, yellow/orange light on the right and a blueish green light on the left. As my girlfriend at the time, (now my wife of 21 years and at my side for every sighting) and I drove up Scottsdale Rd we saw the lights. trying to keep the car straight and looking up at the same time (I don’t recommend this to anyone who sees a UFO, pull over and look) there it is, hundreds of people calling it in the radio station, police station, and the airport, then a few minutes later, its gone. The top light goes straight up and the two bottom lights go opposite directions, one to the East and the other to the West. Simultaneously the lights disappear, so fast that you could not see anything or follow any of them.

I was driving to a church to do the air conditioning service when I noticed this object moving slowly over the trees. At first I thought it was a limb of some kind but it had nothing hanging under it as limbs do. I shot these photos and saved them to my computer but was in doubt of what to do with them.

I saw the UFO and I shot it in Brazil.  The picture and the footage were made by Luis Braga who sent it to me.  I also interviewed him. He told me this fact.

I'm an amateur photographer. I was waking up early and it was still dark because I would like to take the picture of the morning sun and I had my camera with me.  When I was leaving my house I Just saw a strange object and I started to shoot it. I made three pictures and than I turned my camera to video to try to do a footage.

Those are the pictures I have and the footage.  The object speed was really fast, more than 1.500Km/h. The object trajectory was not a line. It was almost a line, but it did some turns.

The object wasn't too high. It n the same position like a plane in the sky.   My sight had 34 seconds. 12 seconds is my footage, and the rest of the time I used to make the pictures.  Please, see attached the film and the footage.   I really would like to know if I shot an UFO. Can you help me?   In the footage all you can here is my breathing and the chicks I have in my back yard.  Now I'm asking MUFON opinion in this case. Can you help us in Brazil?

For the record, I wasn't even "UFO hunting". I'm not even sure of the photo I have.  It was hot, very hot that morning and colleagues of mine were conducting a training exercise for some US Army National Guard, US Marines, and Republic of Georgia Military forces at a range nearby to Vasiani Airbase, Republic of Georgia. I was in fact focused on the training at hand and was using my camera as a training aid to point out potential strengths and weaknesses of any particular units maneuver techniques.

This all goes very well and I end up with roughly 200 photos or so over the course of a week and a half. (Yes, this was just prior to the little spat between Georgia and Russia - we were complete with training only 3 days prior to the whole fanfare...)

These photos fly home with me to Germany where I am stationed and I think little of them, planning to discard the photos that didn't turn out so well and toss the rest in a folder on a hard drive for historical records.

While reviewing the photos, I come across one in particular with what appears to be a blemish on the lens (it may yet turn out to be that, but read on...) Thinking that the lens must have had a dirt smudge or something on it, I scan through to the next few photos in that set and find nothing out of the ordinary. So I go back to this blemished photo and begin to analyze what I am seeing.

The picture was taken from a Canon PowerShot SD1000, 7.1 Mpix. at maximum resolution (I have a 2GB storage card, so who cares how big the photos are...I like the detail). This allowed me to zoom in and at least try to see if any more detail could be revealed. Of course, I was disappointed to see nothing but a gray cigar shaped blob with a small roundish bulb above and below its shape.

Zooming out from the photo, you will se that the foreground is clear and in focus but this object is still fuzzy. I swear to myself that it must have been a bug or something crossing the FOV, but wouldn't it be a little clearer in focus?

Or maybe it is in the background but moving so fast that it is out of focus? I'm not sure. I will rule out low and slow aircraft because the area you see in the picture is a "Live fire range" (shooting range) and for the Army, firing live ammo is not allowed when the potential to harm is evident. So this area has been given a green light be the powers that be for us to conduct training with live ammunition. This means...you guessed it...nothing downrange (that we know of).

A few questions come to mind when I look at this: If it is far enough away to be blurry, just how big is it? If it isn't far away, why then is it blurry? It looks close, but there is no shadow cast. I've lived in a desert for nearly 7 years and I understand how distances can be deceptive - but if this thing is maybe 5-10 miles (my somewhat educated guess) it has to be huge and moving very swiftly (and silently) for no one to take any particular notice.
I try to be a skeptic about photos, but as I took this one myself, I have trouble believing what I am seeing. Let better minds than mine come up with an explanation. I want to think "spacecraft", but the little voice is saying "bird"... Included are photos of area taken seconds apart (all three are part of the set)
