On March 10, the Cleveland Fox affiliate aired a feature detailing Eugene Erlikh’s repeated UFO sightings: For six straight nights, Erlikh had seen the same cluster of lights over Lake Erie. On the last night, he had the presence of mind to videotape their appearance, capturing their pulsating beams and changing colours. Erlikh also had the good sense to enlist the support of a corroborating witness, his close friend Nick Hausen, who also saw the lights, confessing, “I have never seen anything like that.”

The Fox Cable Network picked-up the story, which spread to CNN and through the networks to hundreds of local stations. Erlikh told the Cleveland Fox-8 reporter who broke the story, “Once you see it with your own eyes, you’re gonna say ‘Wow, what’s going on here?’ And why do they keep coming back to the same spot?”

Not surprisingly, NASA, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the Canadian Coast Guard said they had received no other reports of sightings. At the Cleveland Ufology Project, self-styled UFO experts scrutinized Erlikh’s video, concluding inconclusively. Richard Lee, unofficial spokesperson for the Ufology Project, said the video was too rough, grainy, and unsteady to be of any use to scientists. As the story attracted national attention, however, other UFO sighters reported similar phenomena, and observers detected hints of a trend.

Distinctive lights frequently reported nationwide, worldwide.
Three words recur in recent UFO sightings from across North America and Europe—“pulsating,” “string,” and “orange.” Many reports closely resembling Erlikh’s describe brilliant strings of lights flying in precision formations and complex patterns, and a few other videographers have captured images like those on Erlikh’s footage.

On December 15, 2009, a husband and wife in O’Fallon, Missouri, observed and documented a string of bright, pulsating lights in the western sky. Two days later, in Springerville, Arizona, near the site of some history’s most famous UFO incidents, two US Air Force veterans reported seeing a string of lights and then an exceptionally bright flash in the eastern sky. They said the flash covered at least 10% of the sky, leaving “a pronounced after-image.” On February 14, 2010, nearly twenty different witnesses spread across six British cities reported “an orange fireball travelling in a perfect line north-northeast [in] complete silence.” Later that night, several witnesses reported the same phenomenon over Dublin, Ireland.

Scientists neither confirm nor deny.
Noting the consistency among the reports, and also noting that they could see no sign of collusion among the reporters, space scientists nevertheless offered their usual response. Experts acknowledged that they cannot definitively identify or explain the phenomenon, and they agreeing that the series of reports breaks from most historical observations of unidentified spacecraft. Yet astronomers showed restraint in their comments. “We remain neutral and disinterested as we examine these phenomena,” said one southern California researcher, “and we agree that all explanations fall into the realm of plausibility. We try, however, to look at the explanations most probable and then most possible. While decidedly intriguing, none of these observations defies explanation by the capabilities of man-made aircraft.”

There is no denying to the fact that UFO’s have been showing up all round the planet from time to time. Some of the latest UFO sightings in the year 2009 took place in United States and Europe. Many people, skeptics and believers now believe that this is a sign of imminent contact about the life forms present outside our planet.

Among the recent UFO sightings reported, is the “mysterious craft” which was spotted in the skies of small town in Czech Republic, the event took place on 14th February 2009. This event created stir among the local people. Majority of them panicked and flocked the newspapers, radios, police departments etc. with frantic calls enquiring about the strange object which they witnessed in sky. The brilliant lights were spotted coming out from the UFO and this view lasted for just a few seconds, but it was witnessed by many people. Many residents, who were earlier skeptical about UFO theory, have turned into believers after this event.

Another recent UFO sighting took place in Florida on 28th February 2009. The witnesses in this case saw a huge cigar shaped UFO which was being followed by four triangular shaped UFO’s. In this case also, the sighting lasted for a couple of minutes. All the UFO’s were seen moving from north to south direction. However there was no report of such sighting in the local newspapers or news channels.

There was another report of a recent UFO sighting which happened on 27th February 2009. It is one of the latest UFO sightings and it took place in New Jersey. In this sighting, the witnesses saw three star shaped blinking lights which appeared and disappeared constantly. Many witnesses say that all the lights of the streets as well as porches went off when the lights from the UFO were blinking. The witnesses thought that it is just a thunderstorm, but when they saw no rain, no sound and no signs of cloud they then soon became aware that it is indeed an UFO.

Another recent UFO sighting was reported on 28th February 2009 in Kentucky. According to the witnesses they saw a disc like flying saucer fling over the horizon. The UFO was flying at a very low altitude and looked like as if it was grazing over the rooftops. Due to heavy rains on that day, only few people were able to witness the event. According to them UFO looked like a giant Frisbee in the sky.
