A few months back we reported a UFO sighting off the coast of Australia's Northern Territory on Groote Eylandt, but apparently UFO season Down Under hasn't stopped there.

The History Channel is about to send a production team from "UFO Hunters" down to the Northern Territory to investigate a whole raft of UFO claims, including one from Acacia Hills resident Alan Ferguson, who's keen to help the tourists out:

If I can spot the UFOs, I will point them out to them. They don't know what I know--I know too much.

And we thought the Northern Territory was simply full of dry and empty desert. We obviously don't know enough!

Hasn't Gillian Anderson seen "Alien"? Getting pregnant while promoting a movie about extraterrestrial life... that takes guts. The actress even walked the red carpet for "X-Files: I Want To Believe" with long-time TV costar David Duchovny.

Guess everyone's into aliens these days: The Roswell UFO Festival reported a 25 percent jump in attendance this year, while local hotels were sold out and the city moved $15,000 of merchandise over 4 days. In these recessionary times, are we counting on visitors from the sky to save us?

Five miners in the Northern Territory of Australia say they spotted a UFO last week. In the early evening, worker Arnold Murray noticed a light silently flying towards his work site and alerted his coworkers as the object swooped in:

The plant's pretty quiet at night. (It made) no noise whatsoever...All of a sudden it shot off and left a long orange trail behind it. That orange trail just faded out like a shooting star.

It wasn't a chopper, it wasn't a plane--we knew that much--and it definitely wasn't a shooting star.

Interestingly, the mine is on Groote Eylandt, close to where Australia's most famous UFO sighting was recorded. In 1964, the "light wheel" appeared off the coast of the island, causing a ship's compass to malfunction as a rotating circle of lights descended from the sky.

In 1997, thousands of people saw the now-famous Phoenix Lights, including Arizona's governor at the time, Fife Symington. Last night, it appeared they'd returned to the skies above Phoenix.

Dozens of people called in to local radio and TV stations to report an eerie quartet of red lights. An FAA spokesman had no explanation for the phenomenon, but did have a sense of humor about it, given the agency's recent troubles:

It could be aliens coming down to save us from ourselves, you never know. The only thing I do know is if they were coming down, they weren't talking to air traffic controllers.

Former Governor Symington describes the original Phoenix Lights 45 seconds into this video.

In the beautiful Lithuanian capital of Vilnius, weird things are about to interrupt the cityscape of heritage houses and communist buildings. The Guggenheim Museum plans to open another branch in the city, and since the Guggenheim has a tradition of inhabiting memorable buildings, this one will be no exception.

Depending on the angle you choose, the new Zaha Hadid-designed building looks a bit like a cruise ship, a spaceship or (we think) a giant computer mouse. Quite how this fits into Vilnius is something we can't quite imagine, but perhaps the point is that it doesn't.

If you want to see the design up close, along with the two losing ideas, they're being exhibited at the Jonas Mekas Visual Arts Center in Vilnius until the end of June. Miss that, and nobody's sure quite how long you might have to wait to see the actual space ship land in Lithuania.

No, this isn't a famous UFO sighting. Instead, many years ago, some crazy architects decided to build a UFO house in Signal Mountain, TN, near Chattanooga.

In these hard times it is no surprise that the flying saucer house was recently put up for auction. But the fact that the three bedroom home couldn't fetch more than $135,000 is a bit of a surprise. The auction winner and new UFO resident is said to have bought the place as a second home.

The crazy thing? There are more of these UFO style homes peppered throughout the country. But where are they? Get out and find 'em, because the truth is out there.

It's official, at least according to the Ministry of Defense in Britain: UFO sightings are on the rise. Quite a substantial rise, too, rocketing from 97 sightings in 2006 up to 135 sightings during 2007. A whole range of UFOs were spotted, including:

a flying saucer in Staffordshire and a fast-moving triangular object in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. Two pilots were flying over Alderney in the Channel Islands when they saw bright orange objects, while another saw a "balloon-like object" over the southwest.

But our favorite UFO sighting in Britain last year came from a man in Cardiff, Wales, who reported that spaceships flew near his house and abducted his car, tent and dog. Other witnesses in the area at the time also say they saw a spaceship. So take extra care on your next trip to Wales, which might just become a favorite hangout for UFOs with dog-loving aliens on board.
