Looking to the skies has never been so interesting with UFO sightings and video footage from both the east and the west.
Sightings of UFOs have been captured on video, and reports are being released around the world, some as recently as the weekend of July 20.
In several recent circumstances, video footage of UFOs leaving clouds or other craft has been captured which are available on YouTube or via search engines for viewing.
The closest-to-home sighting comes from West Kelowna and was taken on July 17 and shows a long cylindrical object leaving a cloud bank, pulling some cloud in its path.
A second sighting comes from Chile, with bright spheres being ejected from clouds, executing a turn, and then disappearing.
On July 17, above Mount Valerian, in Surenes (a western Paris suburb), a UFO formation was captured on video and shows numerous objects moving at high speeds in formation and solo. Other sightings have been reported and posted from the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., over Mexico, Australia, Chile, the Netherlands, western Michigan and the United Kingdom.
This raises the question, what do you do if you are witness to a UFO sighting? How do you react once you realize what you are seeing? Once you capture either a video or photograph of the aerial anomaly, what do you do with the information? Or do you tell anybody?
Last summer, my son and I were stepping out of our Red Deer home's back door, and he pointed to his right, just above the horizon, and said, “Look Dad.”
So I did.
What I saw was a very large, very bright triangular object 10 degrees off the horizon moving upwards. It was mid-evening, around 7 p.m. or so.
We both stopped to look at the object, which had three vertical bright tank-like attachments. It was moving upwards at a rapid pace through the clouds, but from our perspective there was no sound.
I stepped inside the house to get my camera, and once I returned to take a snapshot, it had moved 15 degrees upwards in less than 20 seconds. Still, it rose at a good speed, and within a minute or so, it had crossed from low on the horizon to straight overhead, yet it was nothing that would have come from the Red Deer Regional Airport.
I turned to my son and said, “We've just seen a UFO.”
We did not have time to take a picture, nor any video, just observe the craft climbing and wondering, “Who else saw the ship?”
In conversation with people through my daily life, I have heard first-hand on sightings that have ranged from a “race” with a craft in Saskatchewan, to a prominent professional who was within 100 feet of a ship.
While in “view” of the ship my son and I saw, we did not think to take a picture. We watched, and took mental notes of the flight.
Here are some tips for a budding ufologist:
Take your camera everywhere. Go snap happy. Journal your sightings, or potential sightings. Bring a witness. Keep your eyes to the sky; you just never know what you may see. We are not alone. It's up to you to take the photo.
If you do see a UFO, you can send your report, video or photo to [email protected], or [email protected].
