UFOINFO Sighting Form Report

Location: US Virgin Islands

Date: 2 January 2005 0330 GMT

Approach Direction: Not approaching

Departure Direction: South West

Witness Direction: South

Description: I was on a boat South of the Island of St. Thomas. I noticed an extremely bright objet in the sky just to my right. It was about 30 degrees up from the horizon and I noticed it moving against the back drop of stars. It was very far away yet still huge and bright as I watched it travel away from Earth and to the South a little. It wasn't a falling object since the craft went outward away from the horizon and seemingly out of the atmosphere. The lights may have been from rocket propulsion as it twinkled slightly and seemed to light up the sky around it. It looked very similar to the rockets that take off from Canaveral after they have acsended for a few minutes. It was without a doubt technoligically advanced and it left the gravitational field of the Earth.

Height & Speed: 30 to 40 degrees above the horizon. It departed the Earth's atmosphere in an upward Southerly direction in a massive ball of light that light up the sky from what may have been hundreds of miles away.

The Unidentified & Creatures of the Outer Edge
- Jerome Clark & Loren Coleman

Back in print for the first time in decades! The Unidentified and Creatures of the Outer Edge, the classic early works of Jerome Clark and Loren Coleman, now in a special double edition with a new introduction by the authors.

The Unidentified finds the links that connect supernatural folklore, religious visions, cryptozoology, and modern-day UFO stories. It documents episodes from the fringes of human experience and exposes what they may tell us about ourselves and the strange world we live in, where things – whether fairies, ghosts, divine apparitions, or ostensible extraterrestrials – may be even more mysterious than they seem.

Creatures of the Outer Edge surveys the cryptozoologically bountiful decade of the 1970s (and more) with accounts of Mothman, Owlmen, Thunderbirds, Phantom Panthers, Devil Dogs, Texas Big Birds, and, yes, of course, Bigfoot. Some of the individually 'named' local Bigfoot creatures first appeared in this book, including Momo (Missouri Monster), Lake Worth Monster, Murphysboro Mud Monster, the Enfield Thing, El Reno Chicken Man, Noxie Monster, Navajo's Skinwalkers, and Yukon's Bushman. The book also introduced the now-iconic Dover Demon for the first time to the general public.
