UFO mystery deepens with more sightings
4:10pm Saturday 14th June 2008

SOUTHAMPTON'S UFO mystery continued yesterday as yet more evidence emerged of weird triangle and cubeshaped objects stalking our skies.
Since the Daily Echo reported on the mystery this week, another three readers have come forward with footage and photographs of UFOs hovering above Shirley and Millbrook.
The latest footage was captured by Dilys Bartlett and her family as they sat in the backyard of their Shirley home on Sunday, June 1.

"We looked up into the sky and there it was - a black triangle,"
Mrs Bartlett said.
"It did not seem to be moving left or right, it just drifted up into the clouds before disappearing."
Mrs Bartlett said she had no idea what the mystery object was, but said it could not be a kite as there was absolutely no wind that day. Another reader, Leonard Cattley, spotted a similar UFO on the same day and said: "It was hovering for at least 15 minutes so we got a very good look at it, if it was a kite it would have been huge.
"It looked very much like a hovering stealth fighter but it made no noise, having worked at Heathrow Airport and lived at Farnborough in my time, I am no stranger to aircraft but this object looked liked nothing I have seen before."
A strikingly similar UFO was photographed by reader Rob Baker from his backyard in Regent's Park three weeks ago.
"We were out in the garden when my oldest son pointed it out.
It was a long way away so I got my camera out to zoom in on it," he said. "From the zoomed image it looks like a powered hang glider.
It was more of a square shape than a triangle and there was a dull humming sound, but I cannot be sure that wasn't coming from the road."
The X-Files-style mystery has left UFO enthusiasts baffled and an investigation was even launched by Southampton Airport after a worried member of the public alerted bosses.
Possible explanations include Chinese lanterns, microlights, model aircrafts, kites or even a secret military project.
Recruitment consultant Gavin Chapman also came forward with another mysterious photograph, which he took in the city last summer.
"I was taking a photograph of a rainbow at the time, but I didn't notice there was also an object in the picture," he said.
"Then, about three weeks ago, I was deleting pictures from my mobile phone when I spotted it.
After reading about the other recent UFO sightings on the Echo website I decided to send it in because I hope somebody can tell me what it is."
Mr Chapman added: "If you zoom in you can see that there are clearly three corners of a triangle. I honestly don't know what it is. I suppose it could be a helicopter or maybe just dirt on the lens.
"I believe there is something out there. There has to be, but whether this is it, I don't know."

If you still do not accept after reading more how serious the matter is i suggest you search youtube.com video using search phrase nasa ufos or nasa worm...it will show a cargo craft that was being tugged by a ufo (gold orb stays motionless in video) and the tug released the "worm" ufo as the NASA space crew went over head, the size of this craft is inestimable but could be at least a mile in length, the nature of its uncontrolled motion in zero gravity suggests to me-- a ufo researcher since 1991 that it contains biomass of some kind...the craft was being tugged to Earth or was transferring material from Earth to elsewhere. I am a Veteran of the US Air Force and your own nation's Military maintains secrets from you about ufos...wake up, learn, become motivated.

Its rather important that people in UK and elsewhere start to understand that new types of craft, reconnaissance from ETs is being deployed for unknown reasons to get info on Earth\'s Inhabitants. I strongly urge you all to get more serious and understand how important this video really is and how essential it is to get the recorder of the video to give statements to ufo research groups in entirety of the event seen. Google my name/word ufo \"Steve Tobias ufo\" to learn the latest in ufo research work i did in years 2006 and 2007.At youtube.com search \"derr ufo\". Very important, 25 videos there I worked on.

I don't believe this was an alien craft, military almost certainly. The question is - Is this craft powered by alien technology or is it a new energy source we have created. The next question is - If it is advanced energy why are we still looking at fossil fuels for our energy source?
Look how much money we pay out for each and every day for our energy in taxes, aswell as being lied to by the powers that be, we have been told that climate change is the biggest problem mankind has had to face in history, created by our burning of fossil fuels and co2 emissions. Basic science will tell you this is rubbish, but if we have learnt to proprel an aircraft without the use of conventional methods why are we not being told about this and the same technology being used to solve the energy/climate crisis? If you all look a little deeper, it doesn't have to be about little green men from mars, but it does raise some fairly simple questions which affect each and every one of us. Now of course you can continue to find out about some made up negative storyline in Eastenders, or, you can start looking outside your box for 5mins a day and start looking at real things.

It landed in the road where it hung around a little while and then departed. The trio, scared @*&!less while watching from the car, came down with severe radiation poisoning in a short time. If I recall correctly, the kid died from it. Kites are not highly radioactive. Not even the "new super-duper improved" models!

The ET are in affect "Marking" something in that area for you all to discover and take a look at what it is.
Usually the ET keep a close eye on nuclear weapons and the members of our nuclear war fighting elite.
Take a look around that area and see if you can discover any nuclear weapons that are going to be used upon us.
Once you understand it you will say to yourself "
Why it is so obvious; why didn't I figure it out sooner?"
Our Royal central bankers still have their hearts set upon exterminating us in total with the nuclear weapons that we have paid for.
We also paid for the comfortable underground shelters that our elite plan to sit in while we are put to the nuclear torch.

Possibly extraterrestrial or possibly Military.
Why is it so hard for people to get over the giggle factor that was put in place by the powers that be, did you know that ridicule was initiated by the government back years ago when dealing with this phenomena, that thousands upon thousands of sighting have been made by people from all walks of life including leaders of countries, that UFOs have been around and recorded since the beginning of recorded history. That our governments will NEVER tell the average person that they have technologies that you could only dream of. That our Governments military complexes have technologies that are at least 100 years advanced compared to what the public sector is privy to. That there is no other phenomena out there where people get killed for knowing more then they should. Your reading this on the Internet, a communications network that was developed by the Military, Go Google NASA UFOs and Get Educated...Remeber that the videos you see that have been recorded by NASA are true in there integrity (genuine) Quite living in a shell and start thinking for yourself.

I saw on 2 different occasions, 2 different ufos. One looked like 2 slivers of mirror put together to form a V. the 2 tails were pointed and the nose was down towards the horizon in the South over the sea. The other was close to the Observatory and was loke an Orb made up of Triangles which glittered like Rubies. Their joinings glittered like Diamonds. I stared at it speechless for approx 30 secs, then shouted to those nearby "what's that" Lights out!and never to return!I felt lost and devastated for weeks.Oh!I shouted because it started to revolve from my right to my left and the part coming round, was all Diamond. I was standing up looking at Polaris, was not drunk, nor medicated.It appeared at roof level just across the road from the Observatory. I don't care who does not believe, I know what I saw.

and the aliens were coming back to try to release their friends from British/US military captivity....it's difficult to go into sufficient detail here, but let alone the question of whether aliens crash-landed, there are supposedly suppressed stories of the aliens trying to get their buddies back....I think the American military had developed tech that would shoot these things down by nineteen forty-seven, though I appreciate the unbelievability of that. Yours truly, David Moncoeur. Yes, there is a question of the human race being on a war footing against these creatures, and the military go nuts about the plebs finding out.
