1993: January UFO|UAP & Alien Sightings Archive
The January 1993 UFO sightings mark a pivotal shift in the pre-millennium wave, characterized by a transition from traditional “lights in the sky” to high-detail encounters with massive triangular craft and structured cylinders. This month is anchored by the Cosford Incident—one of the most significant military-witnessed events in UK history—where a colossal triangular UAP bypassed multiple RAF bases with total impunity.
As researchers analyze the January 1993 UAP grid, the data reveals a heavy focus on nuclear and military infrastructure. From the silent maneuvers over RAF Cosford and Shawbury to the “Cigar” deployments in the South Pacific, the month established a pattern of sophisticated surveillance. This archive serves as a critical baseline for the “Black Triangle” era, documenting a presence that demonstrated absolute control over domestic and international airspaces.
Date: January 1993
Location: Savannah Georgia
Time: night
Summary: A woman living in an isolated cabin along a river was sleeping one night when several man-like figures floated in through the closed bedroom window. The beings were human-like except for heads slightly larger than normal. Apparently some type of procedure was done on her head. No other information.

Location: Passa Tempo, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Time: night
Summary: A glowing object was seen on the ground and next to it two humanoid figures were seen moving around. Light from the object illuminated the figures causing an X-ray like effect, apparently causing them to become transparent. The witness watched hidden on top of a nearby tree. Soon the humanoids apparently noticed his presence re-boarded the object, which then took off at high speed. No other information.

Summary: The witness saw first an orange ball of fire on a field. Later they saw a flying triangle only about 30 cm in diameter that landed on top of nearby pigeon house. A door opened and a tiny smoky humanoid exited the object. Two weeks later the witness saw a similar humanoid in his bedroom.

Time: evening
Summary: Two men, Joseph Wiek, and Harold Egeln were having dinner at a coffee shop in Greenwich Village when suddenly time seemed to slow down, and everything became frozen in “time“. Harold saw three humanoid figures enter the restaurant’s front window in a blast of light. Joseph saw the three humanoids enter, but instead of a light blast, he saw one carrying something resembling a “trumpet“. Later Harold was to have a bizarre dream where he saw a saucer-like object rimmed with what appeared to be trumpets, descend over the area.

Summary: During a period of appalling weather conditions and intense UFO activity in the area, several locals reported seeing small gray-colored humanoids walking on the icy glacier.

Location: Beldon Western Australia
Time: 0300A
Summary: The witness woke up to see a figure kneeling to the left side of his bed about halfway along with it. The figure appeared to be thin, had no hair, but normal features, except for the ears that seemed defined only by a faint outline. A gold box-like object appeared to be attached to the being’s neck just below its right ear. The witness reached out to touch the figure, but his hand went right through it. It then immediately disappeared, to re-appear seconds later going through the closed fly screen door. A dog at the foot of the bed watched the whole incident but did not react in any way noticeable. No sounds, smell, or any other anomalies were noted. The entity was wearing a gray-green T-shirt that had a higher than the normal neck, almost polo style. It had a belt that supported a pair of loose-fitting trousers. It was too dark to see any footwear.

Summary: Several students at the local Camp Crame elementary school were burning some wood in a wooded area next to a tamarind tree when a gigantic black figure with a tail and a pair of “horns” appeared. The students panicked and some appeared to go into a trance, speaking in an unknown tongue. The figure somehow vanished in plain sight. This incident was interpreted as “demonic” possession.

Summary: The main witness had wakened up to go to the bathroom and on the way back to the bedroom she suddenly felt compelled to go to the kitchen and pull up the window. She became afraid then went back to bed. As she turned over in bed she heard the sound of a “train” and what sounded like an electronic door closing. She woke up two hours later and went to take a shower; there she realized that both knees were coated with an unknown white powdery substance. Her son remembered seeing a humanoid figure standing the doorway and then going back to sleep. No other details were recalled.

Executive Summary: The Black Triangle and Military Surveillance
January 1993 is defined by the March 30th/31st wave precursor events, where a series of low-level penetrations of sensitive military airspace occurred. The most notable encounter involved a massive, triangular craft observed by a meteorological officer at RAF Shawbury, who described an object the size of a “football pitch” moving at a slow, drifting pace before accelerating to several thousand miles per hour in seconds. This event was supported by over 70 independent reports filed with the Ministry of Defense, marking it as a “high-credibility” window in the 1993 global grid.
Internationally, the January 1993 archive highlights a surge in “Cigar-shaped” metallic craft over Australia and the Tasman Sea. These sightings often involved objects with polished, non-reflective surfaces that operated at 30,000+ feet without generating a sonic boom or contrail. The global coordination of these sightings—occurring near strategic naval routes and airbases—suggests a systematic mapping operation by UAP that utilized high-altitude corridors to remain outside the visual range of the general public while remaining detectable by specialized military radar.
“It was a massive, triangular-shaped object… it was moving very slowly, and then it just accelerated at a phenomenal speed. It was like nothing I’ve ever seen in my life.”
Meteorological Officer, RAF Shawbury, January 1993 Archive
