This Saturday, March 13, marks the 13th anniversary of the famous Phoenix Lights case. The case is still considered by Ufologists as one of the best arguments for the existence of UFOs. Debunkers are still asserting that the objects seen and photographed over the Arizona city were nothing more than military flares.

After all of this time has passed by, I thought it might be interesting to see how our readers feel about the case today. Were the large, V-shaped objects witnessed and photographed by the masses just flares, or was this truly a visit from another galaxy? Weigh in, and tell us what you think.

This past week, I saw an unusually large number of sightings from California. I have selected four of them for your review this week. Our first one is from a man who saw a strange light formation through his binoculars. Our second report comes from two witnesses who saw something strange while watching planes take off from an airport.

Our next report is from a woman who was startled when she saw a bright light come from the sky outside her window. A motorist files our last report. He saw a small, silver object while crossing the Richmond / San Rafael bridge.

See all of the details of these reports at UFO Sighting Reports, 03-11-10, and comment as you wish. Don't forget to keep your eyes on the skies.

Several of our readers have sent me a link to a really interesting compilation video on Youtube, created by DanielofDoria. The video contains some of the very best films of 2009 as far as UFOs and other strange sky events are related.

Some of the anomalies shown include a triangle over the Kremlin, a spiral cloud over Russia, UFOs over Columbia, multiple objects over Peru, more multiple objects over South America, the strange cloud formation over Romania, unknown objects over Chile, a triangle-shaped object over Russia, a strange vortex over China, and more.

Check it out at First Contact, 2009, and be sure to comment as you wish.

Of the many UFO sighting reports, those made by pilots are considered some of the most credible. They are supposedly trained observers of what is going on in the skies.

Recently a pilot from Warwickshire, UK, had a very compelling sighting. He tells us that he saw two, low-flying, petal-shaped objects, moving at about 1,500 feet. Eventually, they disappeared into the cloud cover. He stated that:

"It was circular in shape, but had a structure which resembled flower petals extending outwards from the center, and the petals were very strongly illuminated and appeared to be glowing as if they were on fire."

Check out his story at Pilot Reports UFO over Warwickshire, and comment as you see fit.

We got the news recently that the British Mod will discontinue taking UFO reports. The United States has no "official" government agency that takes reports. All of the record keeping is done by private groups scattered around the country.

UFO reports made by people just like you and me are the cornerstone of UFO investigation. Without them, we have no starting point. What would you do if you saw a UFO? Where would you go to report what you saw? See our new section above to get started.

This week, we are heading over to the British Isles for four reports. Our first witness relates the account of seeing an unknown object that was "supernatural." Our second sighting is unusual as a man claims to have been blinded by a bright orange / red light that caused him to black out.

Next, we have the report of two soon-to-be mates who saw two unusual objects in the sky that were different than any of the stars. Our final report comes from the Whitehaven News, which gives the account of a UFO seen over the Whitehaven Town Center.

Professor Ana Luisa Cid, a well respected Mexican ufologist, whom I know and have interviewed, is reporting the sighting of a UFO over Xochimilco on January 18.

Aviation technician Alfonso Salazar reported the incident in which an Airbus-A320 flew close to a UFO as the plane ascended to a cruising altitude. The unknown object was spherical-shaped, and metallic in appearance. The plane and UFO came as close as 200 meters.

Here is question that I often ponder: How many of these incidents occur that are never reported? What do you think?

I would like for you to check out a recent UFO sighting reported by two people who were traveling on a lonely road at night in Texas. They encountered a group of different colored lights, which were several flying objects or one depending on when they looked.

This report is one of the most unusual reports I have read, and I think you will find it of interest. Check it out at Shape-changing UFO Seen in Texas, and don't forget to comment as you wish.

I read an article recently that states that the search for extraterrestrial life may not be such a good idea. Dr. Marek Kukula, an astronomer at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, would like to make contact with a "wiser, more peaceful civilization."

But, he is afraid that we might make contact with a race of beings not so peaceful and benevolent. He warns that if we do make contact with an evil, aggresive race, we are not prepared to deal with it. Our nations need to address this situation before it happens.

Check out all of the details at Scientists Warn of Contact with Aliens, and tell us what you think. Are we really ready for alien contact?

This week we are heading up North, and taking a look at sighting reports from the states of Maine, New York, Oregon, and Vermont.

Our report from Maine details a sighting by a man and his girlfriend, and in New York, a man saw an object that he thought was crashing.

From Oregon, we have a report of a rare, cross-shaped flying object, and our last report from Vermont details the sighting of three separate objects with five lights each.
