Blueray, if you are referring to the Phoenix lights from this last april, I have a stong suspicion that was a coordinated hoax. There was a member here who told everyone to lookup on that date in advance and then the flares happened.

So I hope this is not the same. I am glad you are backing up your claims and do post news reports about this sighting as they become available.

I cannot say because the objects in the video are far away sorry.

Quite alright blueray. I was making the comparison between the pattern, the string of objects, not the actual shape of the individual proponents.

It would be nice to see what SkepticOverlord had to say about this.

hmh. after seeing the khoom bay (sp?) balloons, i'm for the moment leaning towards the objects being in fact those things. the color matches exactly with what i've seen. the problem i have with this is just that they didn't appear to move like balloons at all. straight line ALL the time (no circle lilke with the other guys), then disappear into thin air almost at the exact same spot in the sky (how probable is that?). plus the formation matches with the pics of the OP, only direction was reversed (left to tight for me, other way around for OP).

i'd like to add that the pic posted by "didyouseethem" looks nothing at all like what i've seen. it's not even the same colour. and the objects in the video posted above don't seem to be it either, as they appear to just sit there in the sky and not move at all. wan't happening here (btw, didyouseethem, where on earh are you making two EBE's out sitting in that orb? i can#t see it for the life of me).

as for me living near the airport: well, we do have a very small airport outside our city, but it's just for really small aircraft, not much airline traffic at all. nearest big airport would be hanover city, but that's 70+ km away, so i don't know if there's any significance in that.

gotta say though, i'm really glad that cenap article showed up, just so you guys can finally stop accusing us of hoaxing this thing and/or being connected to each other (i as welll think that there ought to be some kind of apology, too. it was getting kinda annoying, to say the least). i haven't read it all yet, from what i gathered from you guys reactions to this i'm getting the impression that they're leaning towards the "balloons"-theory, right?

editk, read the cenap-thing now. what a prick, that guy, ridiculing people calling to him looking for an answer. even if he seems to be right about the balloon-theory, i think i'll adopt this as well, unless more evidence surfaces that it wasn't balloons. until then, it's "case closed" for me.

Reflection of some kind, definitely not a ufo.

omg.... this hasn't got a thing to do with "reflections of some kind". go reed the cenap article, lots of people saw these things, out in the open NOT inside their homes through a window, or in their cars. how do you see or photograph a reflection when there's no windscreen, window or anything of the likes around? seriously, you should at least read the thread and all of the linked articles before you post your feeble opinion as fact.

And not to sound like a jerk, but have we confirmed that these noob witnesses are on different IP's? Just to kill that idea early and all...

I hereby announce that IP-comparisons of the members in question all revealed different locations.

Yes.

I have just been contacted by the police and they said that my case is currently beeing furthered for investigation.

I have checked out a phoenix lights video in another thread and they looked exactly like what me, my friends and my neighbours saw.

I am not saying I saw an UFO or something, I just think that the chances of seeing an UFO are higher than seeing ballons fly horizontaly in a straight line and then meeting up together.

If they are extraterestrial, then the motive for this visite should be speculated as a next logical step of this discussion (As someone previously recommended).

I personally assume that it might be an observational flight, because I live near an Airport, the USA AirForce guy works with flight control. What about the other witnesses, do you live near the airport?

No airport near here.
I personally don't really believe it are Aliens or Flying saucers what me and my friend saw.
it did however look like what is seen on the pics, only way smaller and not 3 of them, just one.

My money's on them being lanterns. Still, if those objects are not flying saucers, then this is a great lesson to all of us on what to look for in images. Even pictures of misidentified objects helps us, as it makes us even better at spotting the unexplained ones.

Thanks for your photos, blueray, and hi from Karlsruhe!

No problem, I will however let ballons up and then photograph them with the same camera settings. If they behave the same and look the same on the pictures then the question is answered. I will keep you guys up to date.

If your description of them flying past at significant speeds is accurate, then dont waste your time showing us balloon pics.

You´d have to be an idiot not to recognize balloons. And you dont seem to be an idiot.

that´s what I am thinking, I must have been an complete idiot If I would not be able to identify them als balloons or chinese burning lampions..

they seemed flying with a kind of propulsion system...like a jet fighter but with out any noise!

but of course people who haven´t seen them with their own eyes must think witnesses must be so damm bloody nerds who can not identify a flying cow from an 747. must be so !

I think everyone can imagine how ballons fly and move or?

Just to clear things up regarding my picture I posted.
The image is of one of these Orange/Red Balls over next doors garden.
My photo should have looked like a close up of one of blurays spheres.
Instead of a pic of a big red ball of light a few hundred feet away It came out like that - blue ? and with detail.At no point did I see anything other than these red spheres materialising and fading out and never any detail.
They were as bright as super troopers ( lights used at concerts ) - they "sparkled" differant colours around the edge , whites , blues , greens
and everything went still and unaturally quiet for the duration.When they sparkled they caused the washing line pole in the garden to cast shadows all around the ground in different directions.As I stood there I "felt" like I was being x-rayed ( I know that does not make sence but that is what popped into my head at the time )

Yes there are balloons causing some reports but at the same time there IS something that is not understood going on above us with these "lights".

I fly large RC planes for a hobby and my son is a pilot - we have never seen anything like this and at the same time move so precisly in the sky.

I would like to see some of these reports plotted on a map and at the same time have the earths rotation taken into account.


[edit on 13-5-2008 by Did you see them]

and if they were just ballons, why are the pictures blurred? The guy that made the pics has steady hands. I asked him and he said the long shutter time had to be done because of the darkness.

So ballons do not travel fast enough in order to give a blurring motion usually.
