Case 1:

1997 - 21:34 Police Emergancy Control center in America starting recieving numerous calls of a strange sighting. Most described it as a "silent hovering object". It was flashing between four colours; blue to red to green to yellow. The weird thing that makes it all the more believable is that the 18,000 calls that they recieved that night all described the same thing there or thereabouts - all the descriptions fitted.
Two police officers were in a burger bar (supposed to be on night patrol) when the station called them and asked one of the officers to go and follow the place where the people were saying they saw the apparent U.F.O. As he was driving, a petrified old man was with his dog and told the officer that a bliinding red light had been focused on his house for about 2 minutes. When he looked outside - he saw the exact same thing that everybody else had seen. The officer continued down the road. About a quarter of a mile down, his car stopped. His radio cut off, his ignition key wouldn't switch the engine on and his petrol was half full. About 10 seconds later, a beaming red light hit his car and focused on it for about 30 seconds. He got out and looked directly up. He stated his eyes were strained. But what he saw was a large saucer shaped object flashing between four colours. It was silent and a light was focusing straight down on his car. When it went his car started up again and he drove off at full speed, sirens on and all chasing the object. When he looked at the object it appeared to elevate to about 90 feet in the air and join another thing that looked exactly the same. He called another officer to tell him what had happened. This officer was near a large church, a very high point in the area. He made his way to the top to find three of these flashing objects in a triangular shape rotating. A conversation was recorded between two completely different officers via car radio. all I can remember of that was one officer saying "A dear god let that be a plane". There is also a reconstruction of this on the internet which I unfortunately cannot find right now.

Case 2
