The Project Blue Book Archive provides free access
to tens of thousands of official documents
related to the U.S. government's investigation
of the UFO phenomenon.
i will try and keep this up to date, with all information from the UK.
Please check back from time to time, as this will be updated regularly…If you see something that i have missed, please contact me (thanks).….
There has been an explosion of UK UFO activity, after the MOD released its UFO archive, and this might account for the media clamouring for our attention (how much of it is fact, is frankly anyone’s guess), and also the public looking at the sky more than normal.
Many of the sightings are sensationalised, with usually alot of information missing.
Please keep this in mind as you view these postings from the local and national press.
I’m afraid many also fail to follow up on their initial leads, and many reports just remain forgotten.
However, as i have said before, i am not sure what value they are to any UFO research.
Many of the sightings are sensationalised, with usually alot of information missing. Please keep this in mind as you view these postings from the local and national press.

What do you believe!
The first question i would ask is “How was the language decoded, exactely?” along with other questions…. remember, always ask, collect data, for and against, and then you might come to an answer that is “well you know, i’m not sure”.
Keep this in mind, keep it open and try and collect more information, at a later date if there is any.
This blog post is to pay tribute to my dog taz, who i (and my girlfriend) had to have put down by the vet on wednesday (6th august 2008)…. I know this is not UFO related, so am sorry. But she was something that was close to my heart, and will be badly missed; she had a tumour in her mouth, that was ulcerating, and not improving…..
It was the best and only choice left…. the vets where very kind and thoughtful. She was 14 years old …
I know the news about Clark McClelland, backing up Mitchell’s claim that extraterrestials exist, came out at the end of July 2008, but i have just been trying to assess his reasons for doing so, and find out some more information about him.
Apollo 15
For those not up to date, it started with Edgar Mitchell admitting on Kerrang radio (from the UK), that he believed in aliens….please see here for my article on this, and to listen to the audio.
He had however, mentioned this before, in 1998 to The Sunday Times (please see link here ) and also in November 2007 (see link here ) so in a sense this is not new…. Those interested in his website, please go to http://www.edmitchellapollo14.com/ . However, for some reason (why i’m not sure, as this radio station is not well known) it became common world wide phenomena very quickly…
Then at the end of July 2008, Clark McClelland backed up Mitchell, saying that “ I, Clark C. McClelland, former ScO, Space Shuttle Fleet, personally observed an 8 to 9 foot tall ET on his 27 inch video monitors while on duty in the Kennedy Space Center, Launch Control Center (LCC). The ET was standing upright in the Space Shuttle Payload Bay having a discussion with TWO tethered US NASA Astronauts! I also observed on my monitors, the spacecraft of the ET as it was in a stabilized, safe orbit to the rear of the Space Shuttle main engine pods ” (extract from article).
It seems that Mitchell believes he is legitimate, as he gives us many examples of where he has been, what he has done, and so on (all in this article). This is important, as there is not much information on him, that i can find out. Right at the end of the article above, there seems to be a motive here:
“Most of you are not aware that my Space Program Retirement was DENIED TO ME!! I was told by several KSC high management people to not take a legal action, and that they were working to have my job returned to me with back pay! Yeah, SURE! Thanks to the Legal Gods that I found an attorney who would give me a free consultation. He told me that I had a fixed time limit to file an action against those responsible” (extract from article). Basically, the main thrust of this was that he is broke, and owed money, and by all accounts small changed (i must note so would i be too). Maybe this is nothing (if true of course), but must be mentioned however.
apollo 16 1972
So i’m thinking, wow this is big stuff, but i’m honestly worried; why? can i just take this statement on faith… i’m afraid not. so although interesting, i cannot say “well hell i believe him”.
Do not get me wrong, i believe that UFOs (the small % that is not explained away) are either extraterrestials, or they are a government Black Ops project. However, there is no way of knowing if he is telling the truth.
The timing of this also interests me…. NASA’s fiftieth birthday has just passed, and then these 2 (who have already shown their feelings before, but to little effect), have been getting attention, although to be fair only limited attention. Of course, many theories can be concluded from this…NASA makes you sign a secrecy clause, so you could be in trouble with both them and the government.
Unless this is some kind of program led by the government/ NASA in a round about way, towards educating us to the ETs of this world. Again though, i just feel this an odd way of doing it, if that was the case. Although maybe, they both (or one or the other) were told to make these statements to protect a secret black ops project being tested. mmm, not sure about that either. There are other scenarios too.
I’m not really scratching the surface here, but you see the problems we have here; there is the fact that Mitchell has mentioned this before, but it got nowhere, but now it hits the headlines, why?
We have McClelland, who makes this statement basically in favour of Mitchell, and wants compensation, for the full story, why? and why not wait until he has more evidence. The only worrying thing is, that the more i read this, the more i think of Bob Lazar, and believe me that is not a good thing.
In conclusion, i am not sure what to make of this, although i feel Mitchell has more to offer, and is definately more creditable in what he is trying to say than McClelland.
I am fascinated by what has happened, but alarm bells are ringing; what i would like however, is for a serious debate to take place, not just in the mainstream media, but with NASA and governments, publically about all this… but this is never going to happen.
Sorry if this has come out in a bit of a mess, as i have literally just written out what i feel on the matter…. i will follow this closely and see where it leads us, and update again if i can find out some more….
I would love to hear your views on this… please leave them in the comments section below.
In this interview on Kerrang Radio July 23 2008; Astronaut Edgar Mitchell confirms that flying saucers are real and they are bearing alien visitors. What do you think…is he talking sense? or has he lost his mind??
i will try and keep this up to date, with all information from the UK. Due to the amount of sightings coming in now, i have had to divide it into a 2 parter).
Please check back from time to time, as this will be updated regularly…If you see something that i have missed, please contact me (thanks).…. and wanting explanations also.

From Mike (who wrote about his sighting) in another section :
i was in twickenham sunday 13th july at about 0150 when i saw 3 orange looking flying objects fly over my head just near twickenham stadium, i never believed in ufo’s before but has totally changed my perception on this subject. after what i saw i believe there has to be some sort of life out there as what i saw could not have been human. These objects were round, lit up like a light bulb with a blue looking centre. they flew very slowly upward then just vanished. I managed to capture them on phone but tey are very small and ppl i told dont believe me. I just wonder if anyone else out there saw the same thing. if anyone did, please put a comment below.

It’s said that people came out of pubs and out on to the street to watch the five or six orange globes that seemed to be flying in formation without making any sound. Now I now when you are drinking things can look different but they are sure that it was some kind of space craft.
According to reports as the people gaped at the sky, one of the “fireballs” seemed to break away, head towards earth at speed and then disappear ” (extract from article).

Claire (a reader who saw a possible sighting)
Last night (19th July 2008 ) in Bewdley, Worcs, we were sat in Garden when we saw a large satellite type thing. Then suddenly out of nowhere a long libe of ornage blotches moved in a exact line towards this satelitte thing! there were loads of them all going in the same direction travelling at a high speed. they werent planes etc. It was approx. 11pm. Very weird, even my dad couldn’t figure it out! and he knows everything!
” Jahtel Roberts-Joseph insists he saw a strange craft, about the size of a small trampoline and with flashing lights, make a crash landing in a tree on Hounslow Heath.
The 17-year-old, of Bramley Way, Hounslow, said: “It was the size of a small trampoline, but quite chunky, and had red and blue lights all round which were so bright you couldn’t stare directly at it.” He and a friend fled in terror but by the time they returned moments later the ‘craft’ had vanished, leaving only a patch of flattened grass and a few broken branches in its wake” (extract from article).
” I REPORTED a ‘UFO’ to the Ministry of Defence 29 years ago when I was a student nurse at a local hospital in Leicestershire. The object appeared to hover above a hedge, glowing red. A white hot plume came from one end of the object and I could hear a droning noise….[.]….I got a real close look as it passed over me, clearly triangle shape with lights at each point, a raised area from the tip to the middle of the other end, with a raised disc shape in the middle.
Then whoosh! It was away faster than any thing I had ever seen.There was no noise as the craft moved off at speed.
The MoD came to see me and asked me to draw pictures and recount my story, then asked not to share this information with anyone. There had been other sightings across Leicester that same evening…….[.]…..I am sure the triangular craft are flown by top secret agencies working on Government projects.
What I would like to find out is if my 1978 sighting was one of these projects. I believe there were Lockheed projects at that time regarding the Stealth and Delta wing craft.
On the other hand, my mind remains open to the idea of visitors from other galaxies” (extracts from the article). There seem to be simularities here, to a sighting i saw in Hampshire in the 1980’s…. interesting.
“ In the latest report, a Telford stargazer has reported seeing unexplained multi-coloured objects in the skies above the town.
Robert Davies, 31, from Arleston, says he saw the objects in the early hours of June 25 - the same day reports emerged of strange phenomena hovering above Clive Barracks at Tern Hill.
