Colm,

In addition to the historical accounts Rullan cites, I recently
came across two cases which might be of interest to him (I'm
sure there must be many others) and are reported online at:

http://members.xoom.com/_XMCM/ufosnmw/reports/mi1.html
http://members.xoom.com/_XMCM/ufosnmw/reports/leian.html

Also noted on this web site, which seems to be little known and
is an absolute goldmine of data, was an intriguing report
related to a 'cattle mutilation' incident:

http://members.xoom.com/_XMCM/ufosnmw/reports/org.html

I wondered if this could be connected with a known case, or
whether it was previously undocumented.

Incidentally, there was what seems a comparable 'cattle
mutilation' incident published in the UK 'Farmers Weekly'
magazine.

Although I had obtained a copy of the original article, it has
since unfortunately gone amiss. However, my notes record that
the October 14, 1994 issue of Farmers Weekly reported how in
August 1994, at Bodmin Moor near Launceston, England, a new-born
calf was found with a clean, bloodless cut in its throat that
had severed its windpipe, and the upper and lower hide of its
nose and lips had been "almost surgically removed". The color
photograph included with this story depicted a 'perfectly clean'
calf lying on its left side with only the hide-deep excision of
tissue from its jaws.


That aside, also perhaps worth mentioning is the video footage
at:

and a Hudson Valley' report:

This web site claims to have "over 1,400 sightings" reported
during the past five years.

I've been looking at many of the reports, maybe only 200 or so,
and already bookmarked over 30, especially typically detailed
'triangular UFO' close encounters, which seem to come into the
category of 'surely must be investigated further'. Fortunately,
some of the claimants have provided contact email addresses and
I will follow up those I can.

Outwith this genre, a particularly intriguing report is one
where the person writing was amongst a group of friends who
observed a 'circle of lights' moving towards them (this seems to
be an extremely common feature of many reports). Her brother
apparently confided to a friend shortly afterwards how he got
out of the car to look at the light, now directly overhead, and
"then I [the writer] went from being in front of him, with my
friend, to being off to his left. I was dishevelled & he
thought, perhaps, I had been raped".

Did her brother 'next remember' his sister had changed position
in the car and she was somewhat 'dishevelled', if not
distraught? What had happened in-between to cause this and was
it related to those aerial lights?

Maybe yet worth some enquiries - given there were several
participants - and an email address is given.


It's understandable why NIDs or any other organisation
interested in UFO reports are requesting new sightings, however,
it seems there are already vastly more than anyone is able to
investigate!

There may have been a time, although this is debatable, when 95%
of UFO reports were explainable, yet that tends to be based on a
relatively small sample, typically from 'Project Blue Book', or
such-like. The entire perspective has evolved over subsequent
years and the means, plus the climate, for reporting
observations has significantly advanced. In my experience, which
encompasses analysing the large number of (additional) sightings
reported to the National UFO Reporting Center, the facts are
somewhat different.

95% of UFO reports are never explained.

If I'm mistaken, then given the number of reports we know are
made each year, can someone please let us know where 95% of them
are in fact documented as definitely/probably resolved.

This would save me a lot of research, and I'm sure others as
well.
