The year 2016 closed with a remarkable wave of unexplained phenomena, ranging from responsive aerial objects to startling Christmas morning encounters. This month’s archive features reports that challenge our understanding of physics and biology, including a notable case of a glowing orb in Newton Abbot, England, that appeared to respond directly to a witness’s waves. Explore the full archive below for a deep dive into the sightings that made December 2016 a landmark month for researchers.
Date: December 13 2016
Location: Newton Abbot, England
Time: 11:18:00
Summary: I was sky watching when i spotted something out of the corner of my eye. i turned to see what it was and i could see that it was a glowing orb. the orb just seemed to by hanging there above the adjacent house. i took a photograph of the orb and felt that the orb was checking me out. i then decided to wave at the orb to try and get a reaction from it. i waved and to my amazement the orb moved from left to right and back to its original position as if to acknowledge my waving. i was shocked and astonished because this orb was definitely under intelligent control and it made no sound of any kind. the orb continued to just hang in the same position until it began to get dimer and dimer. the orb then broke up into smaller parts that shot off in different directions and disappeared from sight. the photograph was taken on the 13th of december ‎2016 at 11:18 am gmt at newton abbot devon england.

Location: Bromley, Kent
Time: 9.15 ish
Summary: Whilst walking towards Bromley Town Centre (heading to the A21, which leads into Bromley) I noticed something in the sky in front of me about 200 ish feet over the rooftops of the road I was walking down, that appeared to be swirling around, my 1st impression was a pair of balloons tied together. I was now on Great Elms Road & the object was now on my left hand side travelling straight & true, & moving about twice my pace. I could detect this object was in fact rotating, about every two seconds you could detect a small glinting effect, but, only on it’s left hand side, & as much as I observed this object, (about 4 mins) I couldn’t say with any honesty if the whole thing was rotating, or just the outer edge, but, as I say, every two seconds it glinted. (the morning was was behind me) The object was silent, flat(ish) in appearance, with no visible means of propulsion, & dark in colour. Though it was a windless day (at ground level), I was bemused how this object was able to travel like it was on rails, with no perceivable deviation in height or forward speed. Witness Name: Chris

Time: 3am
Summary: I went to bed between 9pm – 10pm PST. At approximately 3am PST in the morning I was awoken by a commotion in my bedroom involving my wife and daughter. I didn’t investigate the matter and tried to return to sleep; however, my young daughter and wife failed to return to the bedroom. I got up to find out what happened. I found my wife and daughter going to sleep in my daughter’s bedroom. My wife briefly explained to me our small dog who originally went to sleep with me pooped on the far side of the bed. When my wife and daughter got into bed, my daughter got it on her leg. My wife cleaned my daughter and semi-cleaned the sheet. We have a very small dog (under 5 lbs) so we’re not talking a lot of waste. Anyway, I went back to my bedroom and changed the sheets because I could still see a little of the dog waste. I then told my wife she could return to bed with me but she was too tired to get back up so I let her be. Well, I am light sleeper so it was hard for me to fall back asleep. I want to mention I wear a sleeping mask to bed at night and take magnesium before going to bed because both help me fall asleep faster and have more sound sleep. I have had sleeping problems my whole life. I turned on the TV and watched it for about 1 hour before becoming sleepy again. When I fell asleep I had a vivid dream that bothered me and I suddenly awoke. It was still dark outside and I was laying on my left side. I was thinking about the dream when all of sudden I felt static electricity all around me. At that moment I knew “they” were coming. I started to roll over onto my back at the static electricity grew stronger but I also began to feel paralysis in my body. It felt like I was moving in a giant jar of molasses. I was just able to begin to turn on my right side before I was unable to move any further. My right arm and hand were hanging off the bed. I then realized I could see through my night sleeping mask. There was no color; everything looked blackish gray and very fuzzy. It was like I was seeing the static electricity. I then saw a small gray alien no more than 5 feet tall materialize through my bedroom wall on my right side. It was then standing right through my night stand and in front of light fixture. I remember thinking how diminutive in size he was. He then grabbed my right hand that was hanging off the bed and squeezed it. I then heard a voice inside my head saying, “Yes…were are real.” While he was squeezing my hand I felt a sudden sense of euphoria, excitement, and elation. I then communicated back to him using my thoughts and I said, “Hi, my name is ….” As soon as that the event was over. The being left through the bedroom wall and I remained paralyzed for a little while longer. The static electricity in the room started to dissipate too. I was in such a state of shock, I couldn’t believe it. I sat up in bed not knowing what to do. I laid back down because then a deep comfort overtook me. I felt such a great sense of satisfaction because I now knew in my heart and mind that I was going crazy and that others I know weren’t going crazy too. I had been given piece of mind. I went back to sleep having another vivid dream which I still remember. I then awoke around 8:30am PST. My wife was still asleep but she awoke a short time later and I told her everything. I was expecting her to tell me it was a dream but she said the exact opposite. She believes our dog sensed something was going to happen and that’s why it went potty in our bed. Our dog that we’ve had for 7 years has never done that. She also mentioned our dog was acting very strange the night before and we thought she was getting sick or ate something bad. This ended up causing my wife and daughter to sleep in another room which left me sleeping alone the bedroom. I’ve seen and experienced things my whole life. Starting when I was little boy all the way up until now. I made a report to MUFON on June 5, 2016, regarding an object I filmed during the evening over my house on June 4, 2016 (a small plane at lower altitude is also in the video starting at the 24 second mark); however, I did not report that events that unfolded later that night. I was too embarrassed and afraid of what the MUFON folks would think so I left the dream details out. That night I had a vivid dream of awakening, laying on my left side and completely naked. Everything was fuzzy and my vision was somewhat blurry. My first thought was “Oh my God, I can’t believe this is happening in my house” but then I noticed I wasn’t laying on my bed. I then noticed a small alien whose skin appeared brownish gray (like a grocery bag) on my right side. I was laying on the very edge of a table. The alien had his left hand on my right shoulder and his right hand towards my feet. His head was turned towards my feet and he was slightly bending over me at the same time. At this time I noticed a feeling of deep discomfort on my lower back and buttocks area. But I couldn’t move or say anything. Right at this moment, the alien somehow knew I was aware/awake and turned his head towards me. We were looking eye to eye. Next thing I know, I’m awake in my bed and it’s early morning and I can see blue sky out the window. I told a close friend who advised I should look for any strange marks on my body. I found 2 parallel marks on my left so I took pictures of both my knees. The marks have faded since then. I don’t believe I can no longer doubt everything that has happened to me and that continues to happen to me. I am just happy knowing I don’t have to torment myself everyday wondering if I am insane or not.

Summary: Mike, a 48-year-old Magret resident, told Cryptozoology News he and his wife were driving when they noticed the creature coming out of the trees located on the side of the road. “We ducked our heads because we thought it was going to hit the truck,” Mike said. “Then, this very large flying bird thing stopped mid air over our front window of the truck and dipped its head, looked at us, then zoomed in and flew away to the left of us,” he continued about the early morning incident. The former military man claims he was able to gather a physical description of the creature. “It had something red about its face or head. Its wings where very large,” he recalls, adding that the unknown animal was wider than their Durango SUV. “It was huge… it was an unreal creature,” he said.

Location: Snyder, Texas and heading toward Spur, Texas along Highway 208
Time: 4:57 p.m.
Summary: The witness and his girlfriend were driving home from a grocery shopping trip in Snyder and heading toward Spur along Highway 208 when the incident occurred at 4:57 p.m. on December 31, 2016. “I noticed a bright, shiny, silver ball hovering about 500 feet in front of us to the southeast,” the witness stated. “I said, ‘What is that?’ She first thought it was a helicopter because it wasn’t moving; that’s until it slowly started disappearing and fading away into nothing.” The two then saw another similar object. “Then we immediately saw another one to the east and that also started to fade away. She pulled over and I grabbed my phone to record it. But by the time we got out it was completely gone. It was eerily quiet, and of course being in West Texas we were the only vehicle on the road. We were awestruck and excited that we both witnessed something unexplainable.”
