Latest UFO sightings - This interesting footage of an unknown lights over Moore in Oklahoma was recorded on Saturday, 18th May 2013.

Witness report: I was sitting on the couch next to a window watching the weather. Thunderstorms on their way. Other than a dim light above my front door, there is no lighting. My apartment faces the west & over looks trees. I noticed bright yellow orange orb like lights traveling up & to the right. I was frozen with fear as I have Seen many program on similar experiences. As more appeared I made my way to the window & snapped a few pics w/ my iPhone. I called my ex [Name removed/cms/tg]. He is very knowledgable about the unexplained. He didn't answer. I quickly filmed a video of the last of the lights traveling. My phone was close to dying so I stopped the video so I wouldn't risk losing it if my phone died. After the remaining lights disappeared into the sky the humming stopped. I sat on the floor near the window for about 10 mins. I was afraid to move. I sent the pictures to "T" & posted the video on Facebook. I also sent it to a local news station. I was eventually able to send the video to "T" & he advised me to contact MUFON.

British Columbia Experiences Increase in UFO Sightings

More British Columbians are coming out to report their UFO sightings than ever before, according to newly released data by the B.C. Stats. In 2012, 399 UFO sightings were reported while only 216 a year before and 204 in 2010.

The increase is in line with an overall increase in Canada, which almost doubled its number of UFO sightings within the 12-month period. The country has a total of 1, 981 UFO sightings in 2012 while only 986 a year before. The former national record was registered in 2008 with 1,004 reported sightings.

UFO expert from B.C. Richard Tortorella noted that the increase in numbers does not necessarily indicate that there is an increase in activity but rather an increase in misidentification of usual terrestrial objects.

He said that among the popular causes of misidentification are paper lanterns or Chinese lanterns because they are usually release in groups and sometimes look like they are hovering in formation. He added that other objects that usually misidentified as UFOs are drones or quad-copters.

While Tortorella does not think that the number of actual UFO sightings is increasing, he is pleased to know that many people now are enjoying outdoor activities.

Brazilian UFO Researchers and Ministry of Defense Meet To Discuss Access To UFO Documents

 

Members of the Brazilian Committee of UFO Researchers was invited by the Ministry of Defense in Brazil to a formal meeting with Brazilian armed forces members. The meeting was scheduled on April 18, 2013 at the headquarters of the Ministry of Defense. It featured officers from Brazilian Army, Navy and Air Force.

The discussion focused on the access of UFO-related documents under the military custody. Brazilian government has already declassified more than 4,500 documents but some documents on the more popular cases are not yet released including the Trindade Island sightings, Mearim covertte event and Varginha Case.

Ari Matos, who is the secretary for the Institutional Coordination and Organization of the ministry, reassured the group that all procedures in releasing the documents will be in accordance to Access to Information Act of Brazil or popularly known as LAI.

The meeting which lasted for approximately 75 minutes seemed to bring positive results as everyone involved appeared to be satisfied. According to Brazilian UFO Magazine editor, A.J. Gevaerd, it was the first time in the history of the country that a Ministry of Defense invited UFO researchers to talk about the UFO phenomena and the protocol to be observed in handling its investigation and the information that may come from it.

Another Ufologist in the meeting, Fernando Aragao Ramalho of UFO Magazine, also pleased with the meeting and considered the day as one of the major event in the history of Ufology.

The meeting was in response to a petition that asked the Brazilian government to declassify all UFO documents from their UFO investigations and take UFO sightings seriously. The petition was sponsored by the Brazilian UFO Magazine and created during a Brazilian UFO conference in December 2012 with signatures from the 30 speakers at the conference. The conference represented 15 different countries and had more than 600 attendees.
