Mysterious lights spark UFO scare
1:25pm Monday 8th October 2007
Masses of mysterious red lights have sparked another UFO riddle.
More than 60 of the glowing orbs were spotted throbbing and hovering above Uckfield on Saturday night.
Resident Jamie Smith, 20, from London Road, thought the town was about to be invaded by aliens.
He said: "It was like something out of Space Invaders.
"My dad said to come out into the garden and what I saw was the amazing thing I've ever seen.
"There were at least 60 of these lights right above us, all in close formation. There was no way they were planes or anything like that.
"Then they moved off and just two remained. Then they too totally disappeared."
Mr Smith said the lights hovered for around five minutes before zooming off.
It the latest in a series of UFO sightings reported by readers of The Argus.
Recently published Ministry of Defence records show that between 1998 and 2006 there were 52 reports of UFOs flying over Sussex.

I too have seen strange red lights! They are all over the City and appear located on top of a pole. They have the power to stop you in your tracks and keep you held captive until they then mysteriously turn green!

I saw several strange red lights this morning. I found that if I applied my brakes, I didn't crash into the car in front of me. Most odd. It seemed to be some sort of warning.

I see our little light display has made it into the Argus. We chose the Argus to announce our visit because it is well known for its accurate reporting MUAHAHAHAHAH.
Anyway it seems that word has got out of our plans to invade your dirty little planet and eat all its inhabitants. Oh well. We were especially looking forward to eating that fat tongued idiot Jamie Oliver, with a munch on Katie Price's large chest for afters.
Keep your eyes on the skies cos we'll be BACK!!!

These were proberly just Chinese Lanterns. They are great fun. Or ofcourse lets not rule out aliens from mars or some other far reaching galaxy.

Im not a fricking astromoner you know, and if aliens travelled two million light years to get to this spinning small piece of rock we call home then why would they hang around your area, its obvious they would prefer to hang around Newcastle, and watch Newcastle United, and have a burger or some other unhealthy earthling food before going back home to the planet zargo.

Astral Knight is correct. This is no laughing matter folks. Looks like some people are still in the dark and never bother to look up.
If you are mad enough to buy this Astral, perhaps you should contact the aliens and ask them to return your brain.

what you see in the United Kingdom now, with the release of some of the secret files of the British Defense Ministry, is a flaming interest in UFOs that is making more people discuss their own sightings in the past and UK now has millions of people watching the skies.I am sure the British Defense officials assumed it wouldnt get out of hand, but it has and I for one could not be more pleased. I wish the people of the United Kingdom success in seeing all UFO files released someday.

comments like those on this site are why ordinary people **** off valid ufo reports. To get the real stuff go to disclosureproject.co m and order their 4 hour dvd with testimony from astronauts and high ranking officials from Russia, USA, and Great Britain... the truth is out there....
I was impressed with the witness testimony from the 2 hour 2001 National Press Club video held at the White House. I think anyone can watch this video for free online.
I suspect these mysterious lights to be the Chinese Lanterns mentioned above, but I haven't ruled out anything because I wasn't there to witness the event.

Steven Greer is a retired medical doctor that has devoted much of his time and energy to interviewing witnesses. The part I think you over looked is the fact that his witnesses are high profile individuals that have been apart of some very sensitive programs, companies and gov projects. It is a bit shocking to hear what they have to say. You might want to check it out a little deeper...

Mr.Meaner wrote:Residenced in Amsterdam, i confirm the many appearances of light orbs. Besides the regular small ones there appear big blue, white and red ones, sometime in a distance, the recent times very close by. I am pretty convinced they appear not at random, but definitely communicate, showing themselves when our spirits are in certain frequency/which means their existence appears to be noticed when we are in a certain condition. The ships (the travelling worlds where the are originated in, are also consiousness-based, like our own world..... They show themselves to make us aware of the opportunity we have to travel to other dimensions to learn. Let all of you who read this take notice that these experiences happen through 'space and time'. These experiences have not anything to do with drugs or similair deluted experience. This is realtime stuff that is nothing more or less than the opening of awareness that the common, material life is very much a restricted one. Nothing wrong with it. However experiencing the 'wider reality' is an interesting experience that opens possibility to be beyond the cycle of dualism. This is how we can pereive things from a broader perspective, and find knowledge that leads to wisdom that leads to peace, a fundamental, practicle source therefore for those who are not afraid of the light.
I was in Amsterdam recently and saw even more red lights.When I entered their cylindrical object (they did beckon and I felt no fear) I was subjected to all manner of probings and experiments. Going back next year too...
This is a testimony from a person who found all discoveries shown through the 'higher realms'confirmed through decennia in our socalled modern science. This is not meant to judge anyone who does not perceive the phenomena discussed here, as much as it is not needed for those that do not perceive at this moment (yet) to judge those that do. Blogs serve it's purpose when there is respect and tolerance for each ones awareness, which is something else than 'bigging up'stories from the mind, to drag attention. If you need attention, use the blog to ask for love. It seems there is enough of it. Perceiving/witnessin
g light phenonema seems to have something to do with the consciousness of the ones that perceive. They are not more clever or so, but more openenly willling, like childeren and animals etc. to exchange without judgement.

Well, we know there's life in outer space.. after all, we're here. We know there are spaceships visiting other planets, because we're doing it. I'm just curious... with 200 billion stars in our galaxy, and 200 known galaxies.. do you really believe we're the only ones doing this? This would be even more significant than being visited by extra-terrestials. I actually did buy the 4 hour disclosure project video. I've watched it many times. I can't say whether these guys are for real, though they seem real enough. There are so many possibilities here. It could even be a diversion to keep us from the real truth. Whatever it is... I think we should find out. Perhaps there is a viable arguement against their testimonies.. but a personal attack on me or Dr. Greer will not lend credence to your position. Why don't you present your evidence in a believable manner? I would be interested in hearing your experience on the matter. But, the true issue here is basic. Who are we? Where are we going? In order to answer these questions we must be aware of reality. You have taken a stand for what you believe to be true. That's exactly what we need. We must all be willing to evolve as the truth becomes available to us. I do believe we are in this together. so, why don't we work together, sceptic and believer, and make the truth our aim? There are many mysteries out there. All of them are solvable in time. We face personal mysteries and also universal mysteries. I personally don't NEED for there to be alien beings from outside our world or our dimension, but what the world does NEED soon, is the simple truth. So, I propose we unite and expose the lies... and the truths. Let's move forward into a new age of enlightenment based on reality..
