VERY STRANGE ALIEN CRAFT WITNESSED OVER FINLAND

JUNE 14, 1967   ....   PYYVAARA, SUOMUSSALMI, FINLAND

The sighting at Pyyvaara in Suomussalmi in the summer of 1967 is noteworthy in several respects: the unknown object was of a type seldom reported, it was observed at close range in broad daylight by five eyewitnesses, and the case was researched by a number of investigators; yet no conclusions could be reached.  On June 14, 1967, at about noon, farmer Arvi Juntunen was busy in the yard greasing his field cultivator, while nearby his brother Veikko was tarring the runners of a sled. The weather was sunny and calm.  Suddenly there was a rumble in the sky, as from a whirlwind approaching, and Juntunen noticed the top of a Rowan tree in the yard swaying violently.  He turned to look in the direction of the noise and was surprised to see an object, shaped like an upside-down kettle that had appeared about 6-7 meters from him and was now hovering about half a meter above ground.  Juntunen   estimated the object to be 70-80 cm across and about half as high. Sunlight reflected off its brownish surface and there was a wing-like extrusion on its flank. It had a separate base that seemed to be spinning rapidly.  At first Juntunen took the object to be something carried there by a whirlwind, and so decided to salvage it. As he approached to about three meters from it, three thin wires that looked like antennae emerged from the object's flank.  The ones at each side immediately turned in the same direction as the central one, and although they did not touch Juntunen he felt himself receiving a "pulsating blow," resembling an electric shock.  Mr. Juntunen was a little startled at this, but when the object began showing signs of moving again, he pulled his hat off his head and tossed it toward the antennae. The only effect this had was that the strong air pressure surrounding the object whisked the hat more than 10 meters away.  Now followed a display that appeared devoid of meaning. The object rose higher in the air and began to zoom around the yard in every direction, up and down as well as sideways, like an angry wasp, with the antennae extending in front.  Mr. Juntunen realized that this was something others should witness. He shouted to the womenfolk and children in the house to come and have a look, but was not heard.  However, the matron of the neighboring farmhouse, Liisa Keränen, and her daughter-in-law Sirkka Keränen, did hear Juntunen's call and came out.  Actually, five-year-old Aarne Keränen had already been in to tell them about the strange flying object, but apparently the testimony of such a young witness had not been enough to interest the adults.  The five eyewitnesses now stood observing the most curious exhibition of their lives. The little craft's haphazard flight lasted quite a while and could easily have been photographed, but unfortunately no camera was available.  At last the object began to climb at an angle towards the northwest and disappeared in the blue. The whole silent spectacle had lasted approximately 15 minutes.  Possibly, the same oddity may have been moving in the vicinity even before noon that day, because the children of the household had suddenly come rushing inside and begged the grown-ups to come out and look at a "helicopter."  Still, nothing was seen or heard at that time. The case attracted quite a bit of attention, and the eyewitnesses were interviewed by several parties, among them military personnel from the Kainuu border patrol, as well as UFO researchers and journalists from Oulu.  All investigators were left nonplussed, but it was later discovered that a similar object had been seen six weeks previously by three local men out fishing on Lake Vuosselinjärvi in Kuusamo.   They had, however, thought it best to keep quiet about it, and only spoke up a couple of years later, apparently having heard of the Pyyvaara case by then.

Subject: MORE UFO LIGHT OVER LAKE ERIE ONTARIO....KEN PFEIFER WORLD UFO PHOTOS

MORE UFO LIGHTS OVER LAKE ERIE IN ONTARIO

On July 30, 2011 at around 11:30 pm I witnessed something extraordinary while camping on Lake Erie with my family at the Knight's Beach Resort in Haldimand, Ontario. Just above the trees which are about 30 feet high we observed 3 circular object that looked like fire balls. When I first caught a glimpse of them I panicked thinking that it was fire spreading from tree to tree but quickly realized that this was not fire at all. Instantly I knew that this was something very special. I had this overwhelming feeling of happiness because I always believed that there were extraterrestrials and other dimensions but never thought that in my lifetime I would experience anything that would indicate to me that in fact that was the case, until that very moment. That moment changed my life. I can tell you for certain that this was not anything "earthly". These spheres/orbs glided over our campground occasionally slowing down and pausing. We all felt like we were being watched. As they started to move away from the camp my brother in law and I ran after them in hope that we would see something more. We were both afraid but just could not resist the urge to find out more. We quickly lost sight of them as they started to disappear behind the trees and we decided to run down to the beech to see if we could get a better look. By the time we got there they were gone. However, there were at least a dozen of people at the beech who just witnessed the same thing. We were told by several witnesses that there was a very bright shooting star in the sky which stopped suddenly and after a few moments broke into 3 lights. The lights flickered in different colours as if they were signalling each other. They then flew towards the shore of Lake Erie and appeared orange and red in colour. As they glided over the campground they paused and flickered again before taking off at a very high speed.

What is even more interesting is that when we returned home, Burlington Ontario, we overheard conversations between the locals about these fireballs over Lake Ontario. Apperantly these things were seen all overt the place. While I was shopping at a local grocery store I overheard a conversation between two older woman talking about watching these fireballs from their building balconies on lakeshore diving into Lake Ontario. They also commented that the fire departments were flooded with calls about fire balls. I thought I was in a middle of some kind of a cheesy 80's TV movie. I mean how bizarre is this?! I myself have never seen them in Burlington but we did wonder why the fire trucks were constantly rushing through the city. It is not common to hear fire trucks very frequently in this city. Immediately I started googling about this and looking in the local papers for any stories and to my surprise found absolutely nothing. How can there be NOTHING?! I later found a submission in the Spectator by a man whose daughters witnessed these orbs but he was basically ridiculed. People commented that they were Chinese lanterns, but I can tell you I know what a Chinese lantern looks like because I have seen them before and this was definitely not even close. I decided to send an email to the journalist at the Hamilton Spectator asking him how as a journalist he had the right to blow this guy off without doing any investigative work but he blew me off and ridiculed me.

What is really upseting to me is that we did not get a chance to film what we saw. I have since found some videos on youtube of people in Burlington and all over the world observing these things, but I have yet to see one where they were as close to the ground as the ones we saw. I forgot to mention that they did not appear to be very large. My guess would be about 3 feet in diameter. Also, when i say that they are red and orange in colour, picture heating a metal object. It had a bright orange centre and red around it. they looked like they were super hot and did not make a sound.

I have now become completely obsessed with this and continue to search for information. From watching many shows such as ancient aliens, ufo files and many others since my experience I understand that ancient civilizations have recorded existence of these orbs.

That was a truly incredible experience for me.

btw, my most reviewed book is about Lujan Matus the Shaman -- I'd like to share with you a quote from one of the reviews of the book:

"...An invitation to a field trip into the unseen, a reality where we may discover a realm hidden for many, a place where orbs are silver or red, exist, move and i expect this book to be a way to progress within it free of the gloomy energetic aspects magic is traditionally associated with. A good work."

CLOSE ENCOUNTER BY SISTERS IN BORING OREGON

7-7-89 BORING OREGON

My sister and I are from Boring Oregon. That is where we lived at the time we saw this UFO!  We were young kids myself about 9 or 10, my sister 2 years older than I.  We always enjoyed sleeping outside in the summer, so the night of the sighting was like any other night.  We got our beds ready on the front patio of the house which our house was a good sized 2 story home with big sliding glass doors on the front of the house which is were the patio is and where we chose to sleep that night. The view from sleeping on the patio was an unobstructed view of the night sky. There were trees on the outskirts of my vision, but from a laying position I could see about all of the night sky.  I fell asleep with no problems that I can remember, and then I remember waking up to take the covers off my face, and when I did I was lying on my back and I opened my eyes to see the whole previously unobstructed night sky being taken up by this UFO!  The UFO was right over the top of us.  If felt like we were directly under the middle of it. Its height was very low and it seemed to be just over the topped off tree!  It was so close I could of thrown a rock and hit it.  With it being so close I remember I could see the different textures and see shadows casting off those textures on to the craft . I can't recall direct lights in my eyes but the thing seemed to be illuminated by a soft dark light glow. I remember feeling like I was looking at someone that was looking at me but I did not see anyone.  It was very steady and not moving.   It just seemed to be hanging there. I did not even here any noises and it was so big and close.  So all that was about a minute of observing the UFO.  I then woke up my sister by shaking her. When she woke up we both got another look at it and then  threw the covers over our head.  I was very curious so I looked again and as I uncovered my head I just caught the thing with hardly any movement.   The craft was very fast and effortlessly.  Went from right over my heads to a little bigger than a big star way up into the sky, and then disappeared.  The only noise it made when it moved was a swish like the noise of the wind and air moving.  I was in shock when we saw it and I don't really remember anything right after the sighting like falling back asleep or what we did?  I find that really weird also cause knowing me as a child my first reaction would be run screaming for my mom and I don't even remember if I went back to sleep, went inside or anything till the next morning when we both told our parents. They were amazed by the story but kinda in disbelief.  They had us separately draw what we saw. I have thought about that every day since it happened and am very interested In learning more.

TWO AMAZING PHOTOS OF A UFO OVER PITTSBURG PENNSYLVANIA

8-29-11 PITTSBURG PENNSYLVANIA           MUFON CASE 31317

Last night around 9:15 I went to smoke a cigarette on my front porch before heading to bed. I have a straight shot of open sky off my front porch and could see a light that looked like a bright star. Then it started moving closer towards my house and it kept getting brighter and brighter. It was all alone until it was almost over my house then it seemed like out of no where 2 airplane like figures appeared beside it and behind it, constantly changing positions. The airplanes had red and green lights on the side. I convinced myself it was just two planes meeting up with something else to refuel. I snapped two different picture. One as it was approaching my house, which in the picture, you can see it was going fast enough to cause i tail behing it. Then another when it was above my house. The photo on my phone just made it look like a dot on my small cell screen but when i uploaded it on my computer you can see it is a circle and very bright. There were tons of stars out last night and none of them were bright enough for my camera to pick up but this is clear as day. It went over the hill behind my house and I went inside assuming it was gone. So I posted something on Facebook about it and 20 minutes later my neighbor replied they went outside and looked and it was there again, followed by someone 2 miles in the opposite direction of where I last saw the "thing" headed that it was also over their house. That is what really got me thinking. It if were jets refueling would they be circling a town or headed in a straight path to their destination. I don't know much about that kind of stuff, but I would bet money that was not planes refueling.  The light on this object was almost as if it were a high powered search light but the light never pointed down to the ground it just surrounded the object.
