Rectangle shaped UFO observed traveling at an extremely high rate of speed and sending out bright white propulsion as it traveled.
|
I observed a rectangle shaped UFO moving at a very high rate of speed and sending out bright white propulsion as it traveled. The UFO seemed to be larger than an aircraft as I noticed that as it flew under a cloud.
My camera was aimed at 90 degrees upward..straight up in the sky when the UFO was recorded. The UFO itself was dark in color.

Round, metallic-looking sphere over my house
|
It was a bright, clear day in December 2015, about 60 degrees and sunny, and I went out to get some firewood.
I happened to look up and there was a round (spherical), bronze-colored craft sitting stationary over my house.
It had a metallic looking appearance and on the side that I was looking at it looked to me like there were part concave or convex areas to it. I was looking at it facing north, looking up over my house.
There were no propellers, so it could not have been a drone, and no sound. It was approximately 300 ft. above my house and if I were to estimate width, I would say maybe 20 to 30 feet wide.
I was the only witness and I watched it for about 1 to 2 minutes. Here is another additional part to my story.
I have followed the UFO media reports for quite a few years and always thought that it would be great to see one, to validate for myself that they exist. I would get my camera, get a witness, document everything, etc.
After watching the craft, I continued on out to the wood pile and got the logs for my fireplace, and forgot about the entire thing… I remembered about 3 ½ weeks later, into January of this year , about witnessing the craft.
I am totally perplexed about that part of my story.
I am a 62 year old woman with grandkids, have run a business for many years, and have lived here for 28 years. There would be no reason for me to fabricate this event. As to who was piloting it - ??

Bright flash of light. solid white object in the sky. disappeared after a couple seconds. Seen while driving .
|
I was driving on the highway and there was a huge flash of light. The light lit up the entire town, possibly more.
As I looked around for a split second I noticed a very bright ball of light in the sky ahead of.
This light was almost tear dropped. It was moving downwards at a high rate.
After a couple seconds it disappeared.
My dad inside the house with closed blinds saw this flash of light.
The house is about 2-3 minutes from my location at the time, in a neighborhood with houses all around.
Witness confirms a nighttime sighting. We have amended the time above. PD

1 of 3 i saw came close, released a small slow light, then i think they just disappeared
|
my girlfriend and i were on a drive and wound up on the side of the road near mt. baldey, madera canyon area and i pointed at 3 lights in the sky. curious because there were no blinkiing lights. one came very quickly towards us stoppped at a closer distance released something lit which went very slow in a circle motion then toward our direction, and then all disappeared which was weird cause we didnt see any of them just vanish somehow we didnt talk about it after either which was weird also now that i remember.
Error in time. We presume witness means 2359 (??). PD

2 green circular lights. One higher than the other and the one below was on the right at an angle not directly below the one above it. They stayed in one spot in the sky.
|
At one point the higher green light turned red..then back to green and descended down in a straight line. Rose again above the trees and moved slowly to the right...then disappeared.

horizontal moving bluish green light
|
I was in parking lot at Midlothian Turnpike and a colored light (one?)I thought was a low flying airplane -caught my eye because the color was a beautiful bluish green and very bright. I noticed it was moving at a steady rate of speed and no other lights and no sound. I then noticed how fast it was moving and yelled at my co-worker to look but it passed very quickly horizontally from west to east at what appeared to be exactly the same altitude.Didn't look like a shooting star-too low , no tail, and the light was a steady rate of speed and much too fast & silent for an aircraft. Wondered if anyone else saw it.
Please see other reports from the east coast for this date. PD

Boardman Ohio. As we drove down glenwood ave about 200ft in the sky was a triangle shaped craft that had lights on each corner and one in the rear middle. this craft was about 80ft wide and sounded like a traditional jet. We stood right under it and it was amazing.

IT WAS SEEN THROUGH OUR DINING ROOM WINDOW. BRIGHTER THAN AN LED LIGHT, AND SOMEWHAT CIRCULAR IN SHAPE, THE LIGHTS ALL ORB LIKE.
|
THE LIGHTS SHIFTED TO A PALE SHADE OF RED. TOOK EYES OFF OF IT FOR MAYBE 10-15 SECONDS AND WHEN WE LOOKED AGAIN IT WAS GONE.
TOO FAST TO BE ANY COMMERCIAL AIRLINER, TOO BRIGHT TO BE A REGULAR AIRCRAFT, SHAPE UNLIKE ANYTHING FAMILIAR.

Very bright light plus red and green lights in southeastern sky - seen for 2 1/2 hours, then moved off south.
|
A BRIGHT light, such as landing lights on a commerical jet approaching at a distance of several miles, plus red and green flashing lights. Stayed in one location for quite a time, and then moved higher and lower a bit (jerking movements up, down and to the south, and then over about 2 hours gradually moved to the southwest and higher and eventually it became nearer, and then dawn came and we could no longer view it. There is no commerical airport within over 75 miles of here - and we NEVER see any landing lights here -- also, we have never seen landing lights with the interposed flashing red and green lights.
Report seems to us to be reminiscent of a "twinkling" star. PD

the objects were glowing red and white and moving about slowly
|
we saw three circular objects glowing white to red hovering in the sky. The objects were moving slightly left, up, down, right. Then at times they would move great distances away and back around the area where we first spotted them.

Bright object seen over Lake Michigan.
|
Looking out my apartment window, which over looks Lake Michigan and Northern Indiana, the object was seen in the sky over southern Illinois / Northern Indiana.
It was a large pulsating object, appeared to be circular. Extremely bight. Drifting towards the south east, away from my location.
It did not have any characteristics of an airplane. There were no stars in the sky.

It was 8:00 pm as a family member proceeded to call out my name with a bit of wary, it wasnt till i stepped out my house and looked up and there it was, a what looked like a fireball. But it was stilled as in waiting! For? Then proceeded to leave heading west bound, i drew what it looked like. It was metalic with 4 sharp edges and what looked like a fireball in the middle.

Additional Info for the Friday Oct. 25th 10:30PM Sighting of 2 UFOs in Seaside Park NJ off the Ocean front
|
Add this to my previous report. The crafts must have been USA airplanes or from earth since both had a red light on top. Odd thing is that they were totally silent even though 500 feet above ground and about the width of 2 city blocks away traveling fast. Since they were heading toward me could explain that I could only see bright lights. This could have been their head lights. However, why would anyone trying to conceal their identity travel with all lights on and a red light on top ? Also the next morning the beach coastline had fishermen and their SUVs all side by side in front of my house. Fish run in August I thought even though some people have told me that the fish run in late October. That night I saw a shooting star that headed in the direction of where those 2 UFOs came from. So another ship may have joined them or was trying to hook up with them. I read another report that someone else further down the Barrier Island where I saw this als! o saw a UFO 2 nights earlier. I think someone should check Island Beach to see if any ships landed there. Probably too difficult since it is all bush or brush and sand which the wind and ocean could easily cover the landing marks. There is also many marsh areas to easily cover landing marks. My hunch is that there crafts were from Earth, However, the unanswered question is why them did the 2 crafts travel so fast so low and so silently ? No sound at all and there was barely any breeze that night to prevent the sound from traveling to me.

Reported light may not have been the ISS.
|
I am writing this report as an attachment, and in reference to another report that was recently filed through your agency. The report that I am referring to is the one that is sited below...
Occurred : 8/15/2011 22:00 (Entered as : 08/15/2011 22:00) Reported: 8/15/2011 9:15:19 PM 21:15 Posted: 8/21/2011 Location: Boise, ID Shape: Circle Duration:5 minutes high flying thing I happen to go out in the back yard and watched this thing. It was moving from south west to north east. No blinking lights and it was just between a plane and a satellite. What moves like that? If it was a satellite it would have changed its brightness and be in a polar orbit. No way it was a meteor. No plane flies this fast.
I also live in Boise, Idaho and have seen these lights as well on numerous occasions. The reason that I am disputing the claim that what was seen is the ISS, is due to the fact that on the evenings that I witness these lights I sometimes see multiple lights within an hour of each other, or sometimes within minutes of each other. They are not always traveling from the Southwest to the Northeast. Over a period of about two years I have seen these same objects, and I have also witnessed them traveling from due South, to due North. I have also seen them bend their trajectory, and alter their velocity from slow to very fast. These objects appear at first as a very bright white light, (sometimes amber in color), and appear to be intelligently controlled. They travel along at a steady velocity, and then fade in their intensity, then just simply blink out and disappear. These objects are moving far too slowly to be a meteorite, and far too fast to be an airplane. They appear! to be above the upper atmosphere, as there is absolutely no sound associated with them.
These objects are one solid color. (As I mentioned above, white or amber). There are no FAA lights on them whatsoever. (Red,Green, or strobing). I usually see them between 22:00 and 24:00 Hours.
ISS over-flight at 21:57 hrs.; SW to NE. PD

small red rectangle in texas
|
It was about 11pm on a saturday night in november. I live on the second floor of a two story appartment. I had to smoke a cigarette, so I went to the balcony. It was november in texas, so the wind was blowing pretty hard. My balcony faces a large open area where the appartment swimming pool is located.
As I was lighting my cigarette, I noticed something coming from over the building on my right. It was only about three or four feet wide and rectangular, almost a perfect square. It had a dull red appearance.
It moved by me pretty fast only about twenty or so feet in front of me. It looked like it came from over the building, it dipped down in front of me, and started rising pretty fast.
Normally, on a windy texas night i wouldn't have thought much about that, but it moved in a straight line, and was definately three dimensional.
As i mentioned before, it was moving pretty fast and flew by me as i was lighting my cig. I kept watching it and it changed direction and started going skyward, again it was moving in a completly straight line. Only once it got some altitude and some distance did it start to get a white glow to it, and i was able to follow it in the sky for quite awhile, definatly longer than i should have for an object of that size.
By this time i was trying to figure out what in Heavens name this thing was. It couldn't have been paper, since in the wind paper wouldn't have kept its shape, and plus it was a complete square. It couldn't have been a box, since the wind wasn't THAT strong, and again it would have been knocked around instead of moving in a straight line. Plus, boxes don't glow.
As i mentioned before, i followed it for quite awhile, i smoked the majority of my cigarette watching it, and then it just dissappeared.
I noticed a plane was in the sky on an intercept course to the object, and when it dissapeared, the plane changed course.
I live near an Air Force base and i wonder if the plane was a military plane.
If anyone has had a similar experiance, I would like to hear about, partly just to confirm my sanity.
Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD

Three in formation
|
Hi,
Looking at the night sky I saw three star like objects in formation. one beside the other and one behind. They looked just like bright stars, but were moving at speed. They came into view for a minute or so and than went out of view.
May have been satalites, but as I said,they were in formation, moving south to north.
Clear night, no aircraft.
There was no sound, or flashing lights. Looking up at them in formation, there was a half inch space between the three.
The back ground was sky clear with a bright moon. They were heading into the moon light as the faded from view.

White/green/red stationery light in sky...2nd light nearby flashing...then faded away.

Bright light in sky. Not an airplane because it didn't move. Not a star because it was twinkling white, green and red lights. To the left was another star-like light that seemed to blink a few times then stop...blink again a few time then stop, etc. After 5 mins. or so both lights grew dimmer and more distant until they were gone.

Bright white dome-shaped light seen at pre-dawn on summit of Haleakala on Maui.
|
Early on Tuesday morning September 23, 2014, my husband and I drove to the summit of Haleakala National Park, on the island of Maui, to view the sunrise. We arrived at the summit around 4:30 a.m. It was cold and extremely windy. There were already a few tour shuttles that had arrived, and approximately six or seven other cars that had arrived. I got out of the car to use the restroom at the visitor’s center and looked around a bit. It was pitch dark, and, since it was way too early for the sunrise, I went back to the car to keep warm.
Our car was parked approximately 15-20 yards from the visitor’s center and the accompanying railing constructed there, along which people stand, facing east, to view the sunrise.
Once I was back in our car, I noticed a strange white glow emanating from the area of the visitor’s center or just beyond it (to the south/southeast). From my perspective, sitting in our vehicle, it looked like a half-circle or dome of white light illuminating the area of the mountain just on the other side of the viewing railing and extending above approximately two stories high. So, relatively close by. The defined outer edge of the “dome” was distinctly brighter than the interior. The interior was translucent but very white. The outer edge made a sharp, bright, distinct border.
I wondered if it was some sort of pre-dawn phenomenon having to do with the moon, or the coming sun, and the clouds. I said to my husband, “Look at that dome of white light over by the visitor’s center. What is that?” But he was already dozing off, resting after the somewhat challenging drive to the summit in the pitch dark.
I very much wanted to get out and take a closer look. It was like nothing I’d ever seen before. But my desire to stay out of the extreme wind and cold won over, and I continued to view it from inside the car. I nodded off, since we’d gotten up at 2am to make the drive from the Ka’anapali Beach area to the summit. I napped for about 45 minutes, after which time my husband and I got out of the car to position ourselves amongst the gathering crowd to view the sunrise. I did not even remember seeing the white light… …until, three days later, after boarding our flight home from Maui, we struck up a conversation with the man sitting next to me on the plane, and discovered that he and his wife had also gone to the summit of Haleakala on September 23rd to see the sunrise. And he said to us, “Did you see a mysterious white light when you were there, while it was still dark?” To which I replied, “YES!” I’d forgotten all about it until he mentioned it. From his perspective, when he saw the light (I believe he said he was standing outside when he saw it), he observed a complete circle hovering in the air. I don’t recall him mentioning how nearby it seemed, or how high above ground he thought it was. His description matched mine in that he said it had a white translucent center and a bright, sharp, defined outside edge. He said he’d been searching the Internet for an explanation of what it could have been, but without much success, as he wasn’t sure what phrases to search on; it was so difficult! to describe.
I finally got around to doing my own Internet search on this phenomenon last Friday (October 4). That’s when I found this web site.

Several stationary flashing lights were observed hovering over Hillsboro near the airport, Hillsboro Stadium area. Three of the lights were larger and brighter and more constant than the others, all flashing lights were on the same lateral level (distance from the ground). The other stationary lights would come and go with a cluster over Hillsboro, there were two on each end of the cluster and about the same distance from the cluster one which would have been over the Beaverton Tigard area. There were approximately 8 stationary flashing lights in the cluster. Video was taken with a time date stamp, the duration was 10 minutes. The lights stayed in formation, in that they did not change places.

Low Flying Triangle over southeast MI in 1994.
|
I am reporting an event I witnessed in 1994, twenty years ago. A lot of time has passed, but it was one of those moments that get seared into one's mind forever. I would like to give some background information and describe my experience as best as I can recall it.
On a summer evening in late August, my friend, mother and I were laying outside in our yard on our trampoline. It may have been around 11 to midnight as it was most definitely dark, and the sun would not have set until 9:15pm that time of year. We were idly stargazing and chatting as we often did. We lived near rural Ida, Michigan, (an agricultural community in southeast Michigan, about an hour south of Detroit, near the Ohio border) and did not have a lot of light pollution so stargazing was a normal summer evening past time.
I would often track commercial airlines and watch the horizons because where we lived is defined by very flat, treeless farmland and uninterrupted views could be see in any direction. Plane spotting was easy as we seemed to live under the flight path of the Detroit Metro Airport, and would very often view low flying commercial aircraft circling over our house. So I am very familiar with viewing planes at night.
On that evening, however, I recall quietly talking, and not really paying attention to anything particular in the sky. However, I remember all at once immediately realizing that I could not see the stars up above me. It was a clear night. I recall sitting up in the trampoline, looking up and seeing a mass in the air above our yard that was large enough to seem to sit over the entire property as it passed, which was around ¾ of an acre. I could tell it was a triangular mass only by lights on three points. I generally recall that they were not too bright, yet also illuminated the ground around us below. It was low, seemingly floating just barely over the top of our barn and farmhouse, however, since I did regularly experience those low flying planes that were waiting to land, I knew it only seemed to be that low. What was most eerie about the encounter that the flying mass seemed to make little or no noise. It glided almost over like a helium float, but in a controlled and steady fashion. I recall there being something like a low pulse hum, but I don't remember it being loud, like if I had been in the house or if there was traffic noise etc, I may not have noticed it at all.
The mass headed in a southern direction. However, I did not watch it to see where it went. To be honest, my friend and I were scared out of our minds and as soon as it directly overhead us, I remember fleeing to our house in sheer terror, dragging my mother along, who was laying tummy down and didn't notice it right away (which tells you how quiet it was). I was very freaked out, as the 90's was hooked on X-Files and crop signs, but I don't ever remember feeling it was alien. It's hard to explain, but even though I couldn't explain it, and I feared it, I felt it was military or something.
The only thing I can't quite remember is, is if there was a center light. I feel like I remember there being a cooler light in the center of the mass, but I am not entirely sure as I only acutely remember the three lights making the triangular shape.
I never again saw an object like that fly in the skies where we lived. Although, I did note lights that would seem like satellites in the sky, (bright, no twinkle) but would stop and start movement in the sky in unpredictable patterns. And when they move, I would get light interference in radio signals. (I would often wear headphones and listen to fm radio on my Walkman if I was stargazing alone). I noted these most often in western skies and off and on over several years. I don't know if this was related.

Huge UFO passing between opening over the city of Portland, Oregon
|
Coming down OHSU Hospital in Portland, Oregon which is on a hill above the city. It was winter and the sky was clouded and grey, but there was like an opening between the clouds and below it you could see the city lights. It was about 8 PM on a Sunday night. As I was going down the hill, looking at the city, suddenly a huge, immense, flying object started passing almost in front of me, and on top of the city. I stop the car in the middle of the road as I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was flying low, so low I could see how huge it was. Unbelievable... it was almost at the bottom of the heavy clouds passing the opening in the sky. I could see it passing, like in slow motion, like almost hoovering, without making any noise, nothing. It was in a tilt position, like a dish, a plate... Huge, immense,like a football field,looked round but it was so big it could have been oval because the border of the tilt make me feel it was round or oval, looked heavy, the color was clear grey metalic but it was not shiny, on the tilted side I could see, there where four roads of blinking lights, like the christmas lights. I didn't see the top because it was tilted, only the bottom and the lights around the side. After being in my car looking at this scenario, I decided to walk outside the vehicle, to see if someone else was seeing it. But when I stepped out and looked at the sky, the flying object had dissapeared.
I returned to the hospital as I was so impressed... I told my story to the ER doctors I work with and everyone believe me. I was told they see things like that all the time. For me was the first and the last. I called the Air Force, the TV stations, the airport, but no one give me any attention. I do believe that I saw a UFO, I think I was fortunate to see something like that in my life. It was too wide and too long, and absolutely quiet to be anything I have ever seen. It was not an airplane or a flying globe. This was a huge, immense object, so big, it couldn't be confused with any known thing. May be a mother ship? I will never forget this experience, I could take a test to verify my story.

Bright white light moving at speed headed south to north without flashing lights or sound.
|
Bright white light moving from south to north at a significant rate of speed. It did not have blinking lights, or sound. It was too low to be a satellite, it seemed to be flying at an altitude similar to commercial aircraft. The object was as bright as Polaris, moving fast, without sound. I have a short video of the object.

it was following on the left side
|
it looked like two airplanes at first they were blinking then the closer it came we could could see how much bigger it got and clear it got it . it was tilted the first time we saw it then it disapeared and then it came back and it was straight up and down and you could see orange lights all around it and it got very close to us we could make out the shape, color,could tell it was matal.
No other reports from this area of NY on this night. It is not clear whether these young students were on foot, or in a vehicle, at the time of the alleged sighting. A similar report from Minnesota approximately 1 hour later. PD

Highly advanced air craft silent, very fast , and im worried about my country
|
Getting ready to eat late dinner on a brisk night sitting on my trucks tailgate with a friend of mine twlking about whatever i cant remember now after being shocked as we were speaking to eachother we felt saw a glow in our perifereral vision a very bright ball of light roughly 10 feet by 8 feet maybe larger hovered only across the street from us ..
Silently we sat frozen murmering as my friend slowly reached for his phone to record it elevated slowly showing just a slight bit of its thin sharp although disk like shape some what sharp on the back like what bat man would drive shiny almost camouflaged as we began to record the ball of light shook as if it gained awareness of us.
It levetated silently about 20 more feet after it being only 20 feet in the air then shot straight up and across the night sky in two bursts leaving a small blue tail . When it stopped again it zig zagged slightly a purple beam sort of smokey looking appeared and disappeared taking th! e craft with it im deeplt concerned for my fellow people

50 UFO spotted at the same time performing geometric movements
|
As washing my car, I turned to the sky and saw a white dot in the sky. I thought it to be an airplane since it was in the direction of the airport, but then I saw another, and another, and another. I ran inside to get my glasses and when I came outside I saw what was about 50 of these white figures in the sky. It was a cloudy day so at times the clouds would come in and hide the figures from view but would appear again. Gradually the figures started fading away until only 3 of these figures remained. They appeared to make a triangle in the sky (two of them linear and the other in front of them). Then one of them proceeded to make movement towards the other ones, until they were all perfectly lined up. Then it went back to its original point and again came back to make a straight line and then finally to its original point. Dark clouds once again came in hiding them from view and when the cloud gave an opening to the sky the objects were not visible anymore.

Sequential lights in straight, horizontal lines in the sky over Texas.
|
I was driving home at approximately 2100, on October 24, when I saw a series of lights in the sky. Five lights came one one at a time in a perfectly straight horizontal line until they were all on, they stayed on for a second or two, then they all went out at the same time. A couple of second later, another series of 5 lights came on in the same manner slightly higher and to the right of the first set of lights. These lights were orangish-yellow, with the look of a lantern, or firelight. They were perfectly clylindrical, with no tails or streaks of any kind. They were quite high in the sky, almost as high as the moon, which was directly above me at the time. There are no hills or buildings that they could have been on. They did not move or blink, they just turned on then they were off and gone. I tried to get my camera on, but they didn't stay on long enough. Less than a minute after I saw the first sets of lights, I saw them come on again in roughly th! e same area, but this time only two lights came on in the first, lower set and one in the higher, second set. I pulled my car off to the side of the road to get a better look, and try to get a pic, but once again I didn't have time. I did get to take a better look at the sky and there were no aircraft of any kind to be seen, and not a cloud in the sky. I consider myself a rational person, and not one to believe in aliens or anything of the sort. I'm am a college student who is soon to be a registered nurse. This is the second time I have lights since I moved to the area 4 years ago, though the last time they weren't in the same formation. It wasn't until I saw online that there were many reports of these kind of lights that I even considered reporting it anywhere. I wish I could come up with a rational explanation, but there isn't any, I saw what I saw.

Triangular aircraft.
|
I was the passenger in a car, looking out the front window at the sky. The street was lined with very large trees and I was looking at the point where the trees intersected with the sky. There was suddenly a gap in the trees and I saw a large triangular thing with lights on the bottom hovering there not too far off of the ground. I immediately told the person driving to stop but we could not see past the trees. We turned around and slowly drove back looking for another gap in the trees. For a second I saw the triangular aircraft again. It was unlike any plane that ive ever seen. I know that there is an airport in the area but I have lived in this neighorhood for 2 years now and I have never seen an airplane fly over the neighborhood, especially one that looked like that.

Light was observed, likely stationary then it just extinguished and disappeared
|
I was a passenger with my wife traveling by car to see "The Christmas House" in Inman, SC on Dec 14. I am a retired 29 year Navy vet with heavy aviation background. It was just before official twilight time. As we were heading North on Compton Bridge Rd I noticed off to my right at about 030, my 1330 o'clock relative position, a single light in the sky and roughly 15 degrees above the horizon. Being a licensed pilot and having spent much time flying and in and around airplanes and airports I thought it was just a aircraft landing light and likely heading to either GSP or GMU airports near Greenville, SC. I didn't give it much thought but glanced at it every 20-30 seconds expecting it to likely cross my path overhead. It didn't seem to be changing position or getting any closer after a few minutes so I started to think that it might be further away than I had thought it to be and coming straight at me. I started to watch it for longer periods of time to try and determine a relative motion. I also noticed that the "landing" light appeared to be larger than a normal general aviation aircraft landing light would look like at night from 10-15 miles out. I looked away for a couple of seconds to say something to my wife. As I returned to watching the "aircraft" the light went out within a few seconds after. No filament fade out, it just instantaneously vanished. It was then that I noticed no strobe or position lighting remaining at all. This was a totally clear night. All aircraft have to have their lights on especially at night and no pilot would ever purposefully turn off all of their lights in the air! I must have uttered a comment to my self. The wife asked me what's wrong and I said that the "aircraft" I was just watching vanished. Even though there was a small amount of background twilight left I could not discern any solid shape where the light had been. I kept looking but no movement, shape or lights ever reappeared. I'll have to chalk this one up as my second UFO observation, my first being around 1975 with 3 of my friends. That one made the local newspaper. We were interviewed about it.

Space station like object looks like it’s continuously on a loop only seeing one object at a time 10 of them seen. BC Canada
|
I was on the phone with my Grandfather who has been an amateur astronomer and veteran of the Royal Canadian Air Force and had watched the Kelowna sky for years . I saw a sequence of lights similar to stars that would fly out into the sky on their own one at a time and then disappear and then another one would come on the exact same line and disappear exactly the same way the other one came but you would only see one star at a time. At that point I showed my grandfather where they were and we watched and saw similar objects high in the sky above where we saw the original ones. It was almost like the space station coming past and disappearing and then another one coming right after it on the same line 10 in a row You could only see one at a time. Each object continued on their own for about seven or eight seconds and then disappear and then the next one would come after it and go on a perfectly straight symmetrical line of the last object.

3 leaf clover looking, drone-like craft with centralized dome, 25 feet wide, intense white and red lights
|
Lying in bed, I heard my dog barking and whimpering in the living room. When I went out to see what was wrong I saw an intense light peering through the curtains. I opened the curtains and there was a large flying object, approximately 25 feet wide hovering about 15 feet above the power lines. The craft consisted of three drone-like fans with a central dome, almost looking like clover. The light that was extremely intense. It was a white LED- like a light that lit up the entire neighborhood. It switched to a red light that made the entire neighborhood red almost looking like it was daytime. Made a light buzzing sound. I have never been one to believe in UFOs so I am trying to justify what it could have been but there is no reasonable explanation.

Walked outside to take trash out. I saw above my neighbor's house 2 bright orange balls moving together slowly one in front of the other.
|
We watched with 2 of our kids for about 2 minutes then it just disappeared.
It came back 10 minutes later.
Now 2 neighbors myself, my husband and 2 of my kids watched it for about 5 minutes. It then just disappeared.
I took 3 pictures.

It looked like a ball of light that was white, red and a cream color, and had a circular/oval shape.
It was hovering up and down the light would go out every so often as it continued to go up and down.

UFO over Tupelo, Mississippi ????
|
On the afternoon of (Not sure of date) I observed what appeared to me as many aircraft flying a checkerboard search pattern, or so the contrails indicated.
The next thing I saw, was a single contrail going from the lower right to the upper left, only to terminate in what seemed to be a small cloud.I then observed a object that seemed to be tumbling down, but not falling strait down but on an steep angle.In about 5 seconds I realize it was a airplane. I then observed what I thought to be a single bright light above and to the left of the small cloud. It seemed to be motionless. I later called the Columbus, MS Air Force base to inquire into what had accrued, and was told nothing was happening over Tupelo, MIssissippi!...
Witness indicates that date of the incident is approximate. PD

Flying, pulsating object hovering above cow pasture
|
Flying object was hovering just above the tree line in the woods behind my home above a cow pasture. It had several lights around it and was changing shape. It moved slowly to the East then went dim. It got much brighter. The top was pulsating and it got closer. It was orange then turned yellow with a blue circular light around it and a green light from the top.

A tumbling football shaped UFO with triangle windows of equal size with a different soft pastel colored light glowing in each window.
|
Surfside, TX in November 1982, my friend and I were in our early twenties. We just arrived about 12 miles up the beach from the beach entrance to camp at around midnight so we could meet friends in the morning at our favorite spot and avoid morning beach traffic from Houston where we lived at the time.
A flashing light was in the rear view mirror just as we parked. The area behind us was swamp so it couldn't be a land vehicle that was approaching us and it seemed to be blinking at that distance. I scrambled for my camera when it became clear that it was something tumbling toward us but I only had daytime 100 ASA film in my 35mm Nikon.
As I looked up from the van, I saw what was an oblong, still silent craft covered entirely with triangular windows and thin black frames around them as it slowly tumbled with no visable means of propulsion or wings, it never made a sound and always maintained the same distance from the ground. It was about two telephone poles off the ground and stood about two telephone polls in height which was easy to determine since there were telephone poles to compare to.
Roughly football shaped, each window was back lit with a different soft pastel color. As it came over the power lines nearly directly above us it took a sharp 90 degree turn, tumbling only in the direction it was traveling and followed the power lines up the beach northward and disappeared into the distance. It was literally a stones throw from me.
We scrambled out to see what would happen next and nothing further took place. BUT! The next morning when it was about to become noon after our friends arrived, we were to go to 7-11. I joked about the UFO sucking the battery dry when the van wouldn't start. My friend said there was a flashlight with new batteries in the glove box and sure enough the flash light batteries were drained too! Really creeped us out but it was awesome at the same time.
Over the years I've shared my experience with friends and received awe, and at times skepticism, but it's always been important to me to come forward. One friend who was a UFO buff said that my description only represented about ten percent of all sightings he had read about and that never had anyone been that close to this particular type of craft. Cigar and saucer shapes were far more common.
I still have a sketch of it I made the following day after I returned home. I could say that is was a religious experience for me.

Blindingly bright lights hovering over Reseda, Ca... multiple sightings?
|
I was driving on the westbound 101 around 8pm in the Reseda, California area when I spotted a blindingly bright light hovering off to the right side of the freeway. At first I thought it may have been a plane flying in my direction at an extremely low altitude. Then the object began to descend straight down, a small but noticeable distance, and continue to hover over the residential area of Reseda. I turned to by boyfriend in the passenger seat and told him I knew what I was looking at.
At this time a freeway sound wall blocked our view while I was driving in the inside lane. I quickly shifted to the fast lane and waited for the object to come back into view. The object had to be relatively low in the sky if the sound wall and tree tops could easily block our view. When the object was visible again, all the bright lights had been shut off and now the craft’s anti-collision/beacon lights were blinking, and I could clearly see the outline of the unit under the full moon. Disk shaped, with a protruding top and bottom, with the blinking lights arranged around the widest part of the craft. It looked as though it was made of dark grey metal since it was reflective in the moonlight.
We had driven around the craft, proving that it was stationary, and decided to circle back to get another look. In the 2 minutes that I was able to circle around back to the craft’s original location, it had moved higher up in the sky and less than a half mile west. We followed the craft by street and observed it, now stationary again, for 15 to 20 minutes. Every now and then we would see the lights on the craft dim and brighten, then descend straight down and hover. On the crafts ”low-light” setting; I could see multiple colored lights blinking at different times. When it began to move further west, we followed again until it was just a small speck in the sky. We decided to finish our errand in Reseda and head home.
We were now driving on the 101 southbound through Studio City, California at about 9pm when I looked up and saw another similar-looking craft with bright lights hovering over the freeway a little higher than the treetops. As soon as I pointed in its direction, the craft took off heading north over my vehicle. Again, we turned around to head north and follow but the craft had traveled a considerable distance and we decided it was too far.
I believe that I may have witnessed two separate spacecrafts. It is also possible that it was the exact same craft that I saw in two different locations when considering its speed capabilities and the time in between spotting the craft(s).

UFO travelled much faster covering greater distance across sky than conventional crafts in area.
|
While on security guard patrol inside fenced-in locked industrial compound,sitting in private vehicle facing South, noticed aerial light to my left moving from East to West. Exited vehicle and saw object travelling higher than conventional crafts in area, and moving faster. Noticed object covered distance much faster across sky than the civilian and military craft seen nightly in area. Light came almost to where I was parked, then suddenly made hairpin U-turn back into the direction from which it came. Noticed object maintain same speed during turn and not any slow, laborious wider turns I've seen displayed by military fighter jets at various times and areas in recent and distant past. I served four tours on aircraft carrier and witnessed numerous flight-ops both on land and at sea during normal operations and air shows, but never saw any conventional craft move along in this fashion and as easily and as fast as the lighted object last night. Also became aware that object displayed no blinking lights always displayed by other conventional craft. Sometimes cannot see blinking lights on our crafts until looking very attentively. I watched this thing carefully but saw none. Compared conventional crafts high in the sky with the object,and they moved quite slow in comparison. I realize UFOs can change directions without turning, perhaps like a zigzag fashion, however, the one I saw appeared to make sharp, quick turn; like a U-turn. The sky was clear and starry. The weather a bit cool. Last lighted UFO I saw was on warm Labor Day in 1995 at about twilight travelling North to South over Santee, CA just south of Lakeside. Santee object seemed to have blinked out as compared to object seen last night which simply sped away. Personal background: U.S. Navy from 1971-1991. Into UFOs since age 16 in 1997 while attending high school. Graduated 1968.

13 Weird lights in the sky
|
13 weird lights came up from behind the tree line, the all slowly came up then went across the sky slowly until they each disappeared. I have a few pictures of them, I used night mode on my phone which requires me to hold it still for 3 sec to get a perfect picture, I was shaky though so it's not a perfect picture, some of them disappeared before I could get my phone out.

Red dot in sky on night of lunar eclipse
|
Both my husband and I had been out all evening driving thru’ Worcestershire and Warwickshire watching the eclipse of the moon.
We stopped in open countryside on the Fosse Way about half a mile south of the M40 to watch the final stage. The sky was clear, we could see commercial aircraft about, there was no immediate light pollution and the moon was sharply defined.
At 22.50 I got out of the car to took a photo with my 5 megapixels digital camera. It was shakey (I was cold and tired but didn’t want to miss the eclipse) but there was a clear red point below the moon and a little to the right. I thought it must be a glitch, so I took several more photos (all shakey but with same red point) then I was too cold and got back in the car.
We watched the rest of the eclipse thru’ the (murky!) windscreen. Because I was sure it was a camera glitch, I didn’t scan the sky for the dot - all my attention was on the eclipse.
When I looked at the photos on the PC, I found I couldn’t put the red point down to a problem with the camera, however I played about with the photos (using very basic Kodak software). Other blips were obviously just blips, but this one appears spherical and holds up as that under zoom. When I saw the Puget Sound photo, it looked to me just the same. If it is a glitch with the camera, I apologise now - I have taken more photos of the night sky and have been unable to reproduce the red point and it wasn’t on an earlier photo taken of the moonrise.
My husband has looked at the photos and thinks I caught something real on the shots. We’re both graduates, late forties, I’m a homemaker now and my husband a programmer with IBM for 25 years. We also lived near to Coventry Airport for 10 years and are used to seeing aircraft of all sorts.

Shape: Cigar | Duration: Undisclosed
Source: MUFON
I was working on a rock crusher at the time of this event. I was facing west with the sun behind my back. The crusher had not yet been fired up so there was no noise from the machinery and the only noise was coming from the highway and even that was just the sound of distant passing cars. I looked up as I heard the sound of a low flying jet and saw a jet liner that must have been coming out of Casper. It was only a thousand feet or so up as I could make out the piping on the plane ( red - must have been a WESTERN flight) and I could even make out the individual windows. I have seen a few flights come out of Casper at around that altitude. As the Airliner continued to move ( it was going on a SE course - I assumed toward Denver) Another object appeared below and to the rear of the Airliner. At first I thought that it must be some sort of Towed blimp. My logic for that was that It was a seamless craft and obviously made of Metal ...it was glinting in the sunlight as did some of the parts of the Airliner. This object made NO noise ( the Airliner did) This object had no identifiable doors or windows and it appeared to be about 3/4 of the length of the airliner it was following. It was only slightly thinner than the Airliner. After the first minute or so of watching the event before me I discarded the idea that the object was a blimp..or even another aircraft. It was following the Airliner maybe 500 feet below.. and 500 feet behind.. It moved in perfect unison with the jet as though it was tethered by a iron bar. Where as I could clearly make out the details of the Airliner ( Wings- piping-windows- noise) the object had none of these. It appeared to be a metal cigar shaped craft with (No windows - No Doors or seams - No paint or logo - No Wings or Engines- and No noise). The Airliner and the object continued past my position and flew directly across two roadways..Ther first a minor two lane highway and then another mile and a half further it crossed the I-25 interstate and kept going till it was beyond the horizon and my ability to observe it further.The entire sighting lasted perhaps 4 minutes. I have since then had a few sightings of things I could not identify flying through our skies but nothing that compares in detail to this sighting.

Every night I see a large orange ball of light with 2 to 3 smaller blue balls of light.
|
These balls of lights are between 2 major airports. Because of this I don’t believe drones are allowed in the air space. I have not heard nor read anything about these lights. One night I drove out to the bay to try and get a better look with binoculars and I could have sworn I saw things coming out of these orbs. I don’t drink or do drugs. It’s something I can’t really explain.
I would like to be contacted via e-mail only.

It blinks randomly and the blink stops sometimes and it goes back to the left and right trying to hide in trees sometimes
|
It shows up at 1 AM when everyone in my house is asleep, and it shows up at the same spot sometime it changes position where ever I go it also makes me scared of it I do not know if the UFO is making me scared, or it's just me having bad anxiety since this sense has been happening for 2 years, and it is getting annoying, and it makes a sound like a plane, but that could be something else in my house and I checked a plane tracker and there are no planes or helicopters in my area
ALSO, NO PHONE NUMBER only email
I entered a random number, so do not call it

White glowing satellite moving sideways at high altitude.
|
I have 28 years of military and commercial aviation experience as an aircraft technician and CH-46 Crew Chief, USMC. I know the difference between enemy aircraft, satellites, commercial and private aircraft, helicopters, military flares, their designated flight paths, and their colored lights and flashing patterns.
While observing a low altitude airplane flying in a normal flight pattern at night, I noticed above it a glowing white satellite of unknown origin hovering at a high altitude, and then moving in unusual patterns never seen before in my life. It was like it was standing post, as if guarding me, moving sideways because it seemed to be following me over the motel that I am staying at.
One of the best experiences I have had ever in my life. No pictures yet, as I am confident there will be more to come in broad daylight.
((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS))
The following are responses to your inquiries: approximate time 21:59 Eastern Standard: date 09/22/2017: indeed, it was a satellite but of unknown origin, as satellites do not move in zig zag patterns, or hover at approximately 20,000 feet with an approximate oval diameter slightly larger than a star in the background: moreover, I use apps called "Star Walk 2" and "Star Guide" for night photography, and saw no listings of any known satellites in space that would fit on their maps.

Bluish/purple light moving horizontally and vertically over East Scottsdale.
|
From Scottsdale (Shea and 101 area) facing east-a bluish / light purple light was hovering in the sky about 3 miles out - the light did not flicker, did not blink, did not get brighter or dimmer.
The light was moving in a right to left and left to right direction, occasionally moving up and down. This movement CANNOT be created by an airplane, helicopter, a balloon or even a flare burning out. This was moving at a casual pace which never really moved more than 5 degrees from my plane of sight.
It took about 45 seconds to finally fall behind a tree and then came out of the left side of the tree and started heading down again. There was a plane heading towards it and you can see the planes lights flashing while the other light did not change.
It fell behind the treeline and disappeared.

Circular looking craft with bright blue light that changed to white as it looked like it was landing behind the trees.

Object looked like a circular craft that was flying and then looked like two engines were started to help it land. It started with a bright blue light and then changed to white as it looked like it was landing. It disappeared behind the trees. Looked really close but was probably miles away. There was no sound.

Spectrum colored lights move across the sky and from them emerges a white light.
|
In October of 1993 I was walking from the Library Building towards Rhine Hall on the campus of Cincinnati Bible College and as I looked up and towards my left (which meant I was looking towards the Ohio River and the Northern KY area) I saw a UFO.
I saw what appeared to be the seven colors of the spectrum emerge from nowhere and briefly move across the sky southwestward in a pattern that I can only liken to a chalkboard line maker moving across a chalkboard. If you were in grade school in the 1970’s and 1980’s as I was you may remember your teacher placing chalk in several wire holders attached to a piece of wood she would use to make lines on a chalkboard. Imagine the colors of the spectrum being drawn on a chalkboard and that is basically what I saw.
The colored lines emerged from nowhere and briefly moved across the sky and then abruptly stopped. From them shot a bright white light that moved across the sky in a southwestwardly direction. The whole sighting took a couple of seconds at the most.
Date in October 1992 is approximate. PD

Sighting of two unidentified flying objects in one night.
|
As I was talking to my friend on the phone in my backyard I noticed a strange light in the sky, it was traveling at high speed towards the mountains. It was yellow color, and very bright.
At first when I was watching it I thought it was a strange plane, but what shocked me was that as it was traveling through a cloud it suddenly stopped (the cloud wasn't very dense so I could still see it), it then flashed a blue light. I was amazed as planes do not stop mid-air. It then flew away.
About 5 minutes later a second object flew though the sky of the exact same description, following the first ones path except this one flashed its light a few times as it was flying. It also did not stop in the cloud.
They were both too far away to recognize the shape of the craft, it just resembled a ball of light in the sky.
I am going to sit outside the next few nights and see if I can view a repeat occurance and hopefully capture some footage.

3rd time we have woke up to see a light floating in the sky. It does appear to move slightly back and forth. Seems to float almost as high as a small plane would fly. Try to watch it as long as we can before we go back to sleep. We have seen the light outside of our bedroom window, facing south.

Steeply ascending small round object with trail separated from it and moved chaotically then disappeared and reappeared.
|
I thought I was looking at a narrow little cloud in the sky from our deck then noticed it had a small round object at its left side - and I realized the cloud wasn't a cloud but perhaps a white trail from this object that was ascending at a very steep angle - that's when I grabbed my iPhone and began recording the video - the object was white and then separated from the trail and then moved vertically and then quickly moved to right and then both the object and the trail abruptly disappeared. Within seconds my other witness noticed the round white object high in the sky to the right of our house staying static for a few seconds and then I also saw it when it began moving in a chaotic pattern for a couple of seconds and then it disappeared. Unfortunately, it happened so fast I was unable to begin shooting another video of it. The area it reappeared in was the eastern sky and its first appearance was in the southwestern sky. Because the object and the trail di! sappeared at same time and then object reappearing in a completely different location I do not believe this could in any way be a satellite or rocket, etc.

A bright orange orb appeared in the southern sky moving north. The orb stopped for a few seconds the started heading south at a high rate of speed. Than dissapeared in seconds.
|
A few seconds later another one appeared in a different part of the sky and did the same thing. This all happend right after the fireworks display. Both orbs seem to approach in the direction of the fireworks. None of the orbs made any sound.

Strange diamond shaped light sits in sky, then begins to move
|
We saw a bright light, almost like it was something with 4 bright LED lights, in the sky. It wasn't moving, and so I figured it wasn't a star, and wasn't likely an airplane just sitting there like that, so I went to go get the camera and my son followed me outside. It looked like a diamond. The bottom 3 lights were so close together you couldn't really see where one began and the other ended. The light on top was just slightly enough separated from the rest so you could see it was an individual light. I take a picture and I'm looking at it through my screen when I noticed it started moving. It then looked as if it dimmed it's lights and started blinking. I could swear it was blinking red with the white as it slowly began moving to the left. I panicked and got my kids back inside at that point. That was like nothing I've ever seen before in the sky. And I sit there staring at the starts every night. When we came back inside my 4 year old tells my husband, &qu! ot;Daddy we saw a Diamond in the sky." I hadn't even had the chance to say that's what I thought it looked like. So we were definitely seeing the same thing.

We were about to go sledding when a SHINY BROWN SPHERE OBJECT soared above US!
|
There was three of us including myself, we were about to go sledding, but waiting in my driveway for someone else. it was beautiful night with just a few clouds in the sky, my friend pointed out that it probably would not snow that night since there was not to many clouds,
so I then looked up and saw a sphere shaped shiny brown object about 500ft above us I was yelling for the others to look up one other besides myself saw it but the thrid did not it then went into a cloud. it was going about 2x as fast as a plane but it was closer then a plane would be so maybe a round the same speed.

Green fireball in the night sky - traveling East to West - Harris County north of Columbus GA HWY 85
|
While traveling North on Highway 85 out of columbus georgia tonight me and my friend / coworker spotted a light above the clouds that traveled below the clouds. Looked like a green fireball coming out of the sky. Happend so fast. You could see stars in the sky and the clouds were breaking up. I have seen red fireballs in the past (2 actually) but never a green one. There was allot of traffic at the time and was probably witnessed by many peopl. The fireball started in teh Eastern Sky and Traveled West like heading to Alabama direction.

Cluster of orange lights on east coast between Baltimore and Washington
|
We (2 people, 53 and 17) saw a cluster of orange lights. Four or five were very close together and could be covered by two fingers held at arms length. One was lower in the sky about 4 fingers width. And two or three others were within a hand width of the main cluster. They were at a bearing of about 80 degrees from my zip code and roughly 20 to 25 degrees above the horizon. I am an engineer.
I have seen numerous planes lined up to approach a large airport (like Las Vegas or Dulles) and this formation did not resemble anything like that. In addition they were gone when I stopped the car at home 90 seconds later to get a better look. They all appeared roughly stationary. I was driving our car east and was near home. Once I got home, I hurried to get some binoculars and ran upstairs and they had all disappeared except one and it faded shortly after I found it in the binoculars. I have never seen lights I could not explain and I believe these must have been military, but I have no idea what they were since they didn't have the light characteristics of a helicopter and were too stationary for planes. I expected to find an explanation in the news this morning and reports of other people seeing the same thing, but when I didn't, I was surprised and decided to post the sighting here. As an engineer with a technical background in physics I believe visits from a foreign world are impossible to our planet. These had an earthly origin, but I have no idea what it was.

Three bright circles of light with centre activity over our heads.15 minutes duration.La Quinta CA
|
My wife and I were on vacation in the dessert staying in a rented house.
We were in the hot tub at the time of the incident.
Looking up at the stars we observed three circular objects of light going round in a circle.
After a few minutes these objects came from a great height to around what seemed like 50 or 60 feet above our heads.
All the time they appeared to be chasing each other round in a circle.Once they just circled our house one could see inside each ring activity or what I would describe as electrical charges.
After a few more minutes one of the circles just broke off and flew upwards at great speed.The same thing then happened to the other two.

Large craft chases smaller craft
|
Above the north-eastern horizon, my husband and I witnessed a bright craft jetting straight upward into the sky. As it was halfway into the sky, another smaller jet type of craft appeared above the brighter one below. When it appeared, the brighter object started chasing the smaller object, then the smaller object appeared to shoot out deflector projectiles that exploded on the larger object below. The bigger object was not phased by the smaller objects projectiles and continued to persue the smaller object until both were above the atmosphere and out of sight.

Fight paths were unnatural and closer than planes would safely fly near each other no sound of engine
|
1st craft streaked left and down at a 33 degree angle with a bluishgreen white streak, then dipped down and back up in a u shape (path resembling a knitting needle) then rocked back to front as a ball would if dropped in a bowl.
Craft then hovered.
We pulled the car over to make sure craft was stationary. It hovered and spun from right to left with a ring of white,green and red lights on bottom.
We proceeded in the car and the craft soon darted horizontally a short distance then remained stationary.
2 IDENTICAL crafts joined from the right the 3rd semi circling the 2nd one closely. the 2nd craft then moved toward us silently and then started to move ahead of us.
we followed it and as we sped up to stay with it it would speed up also, as if it were toying with us!
Needing to get to work we had to cease following.

Bright orange orb quickly passing close by without sound.
|
Large bright orange glowing orb about 1500ft up. Fast smooth movement SE to NW. Came from the south over Highway 20 and moved steadily came over close to Byrnes Park heading toward Waverly. No flashing lights like any aircraft I've seen and NO sound at all! Watched for about 10 min as it passed close by heading NW until it got too far away to see. Orb was like a vapor cloud but bright and almost solid looking with a definite solid dark vertical rectangular area in the center but completely surrounded by the bright orange glow

Craft(s) with 4 lights being overtaken by one light, no noise or strobe lights
|
At 9:43 last night, I observed an commercial airliner going west out of DFW as normal and also heard a small aircraft which I thought was approaching from the SSW, but I looked up and seen the small aircraft overhead, when I continued to watch the approaching lights ( 4 dim white ), I could not see any body and didn't know if this was one unit or 4 units, but they had no strobe lights as required by FAA and made no noise what so ever. The kicker is behind this group(distance unknown) was a single light (same color as the first group) chasing or trying to catch the first group, just as it passed overhead the rear craft did catch the first group and I thought it was going to rear end the 4 lights, but it suddenly veered off to the left and went past the 4 lights. Winds were calm and slight thin clouds, half moon was about 30 degrees to the west of the objects. Speed of these craft was faster than the comercial or military jets.I observed them from about 40 degrees off the southern horizon till they disappeared behind the trees from my house to the north, there is no power lines or anything to distract my vision.

I was driving down 40 on my way home from work. It was about midnight. The clouds seemed to be moving independently of each other. Except for one. It just seemed stationary and there was a bright light behind it. I wouldnt have thought anything of it but it didnt move or waver at all. as I passed under it I noticed it just remained where it was. unlike the moon when you drive continuously moving on the horizon with you. There was no noise at all and I opened my window to be sure. Silent. Couldnt have been a helicopter. I also know it wasnt the moon as the new moon was January 23 and we are not due for first quarter until January 30th. I dont know what it was but when i exited the highway...I could still see it behind me in the exact same spot.

bright flash in bellingham area.
A flash of light lit my whole house. My dog freaked out. At the same time a friend who lives 15 miles away witnessed this same light and his dog freaked out aswell. I was wondering if anyone else noticed this. I have never seen a UFO and don't nessasarly beleive in them, but I can not think of another explaination. My girlfriend has witnessed a similar occurance. Winter lighting???

Large, flat triangular craft with red lights right above the tree line.
|
I was driving home and witnessed a triangular shape moving very slowly right above the trees. It was very large, about the width of a house, and flat. I could only see the darkness of it but could tell it blacked out the sky behind it. It was very low, emitted no sound, but had 3 red lights on the triangle corners. It disappeared behind the tree lines.

Mr. D.F. was outside in his yard when he looked up and noticed a huge, slow moving, black cigar-shaped object with wings coming from the Lake Arrowhead area of the San Bernardino Mountains. The object continued to travel east over the high desert towards the direction of Las Vegas. He decided to try and follow it in his car to see if he could get a closer look but lost the object after about 10-15 minutes. He said the object just disappeared. *(We are fairly certain that this is the same object reported by the other witness in Highland a few minutes earlier who had sighted it from the south side of the SB Mountains)*
Thank you, Cinde.))

UFO with flashing lights investigated by jets August 31 2000
|
It's a very clear starry night, and my brother and I noticed an object in the sky ( the west)about fourty five minutes ago. It caught our attention because it was flashing red and bright white lights in a rotating pattern.It was stationary in the sky for about fifteen minutes and then we noticed small flashes of light some distance away; these lights were of jets. We actually witnessed a jet fly near the object and then retreat.A short time later (two/three minutes)we saw five other jets scoping out the area. The UFO then began movely extremely slowly up and down, bobbing in the sky. The jets all moved out very quickly, and the UFO slowly disappeared into the night.

strange cloud plumes over the northern desert sky
|
On our way to Laughlin, NV, while driving north on hwy 89, we noticed a hugh spiral cork-screw shaped cloud a long way to the west. For the next 2 hours, the cloud-like shape took on many different configurations, until it slowly dissippated. It was very high in the sky, and the colors displayed changed from dark red to purple to blue! It looked like the plume of smoke which spiraled from the space shuttle Challenger!

At approx 5:30 AM I looked out my window and saw a large yellowish light in a circular form. It almost looked like a bright city lamp post light. The circle was completely still for about 10 minutes and appeared to be low to the horizon (over a tree line) so I could see it directly. After about 10 minutes of complete motionlessness, the light became brighter and brighter and started to rise. It rose very smoothly and at first slowly, gradually increasing its ascent upwards. The movement was mostly vertical, with a bit of angle to it. As it got higher up, I could see vibrant orange "legs" stemming from the center, looking a bit like spider legs. In the very center of the yellow circle (underneath the craft), the was a red and green small light. Once the craft started to ascend, it was out of sight (straight up in the sky) within about 3 minutes.

Teardrop shaped object follows me
|
As we were walking home i noticed an object that appeared to be flying sideways. I carried on walking and thought nothing more of it. I then noticed a humming noise behind me i turned and saw the teardrop shaped object about 15 meters above me. I began to run, the next thing i saw was a smaller teardrop object drop out of the craft. I ran into my house and hid, the nights that followed i still see the object, i tell my friend but she does not believe me.

Aircraft makes 90 degree turn
|
I noticed a strange vapor trail in the sky when I looked out my patio doors on the date in question. We don't usually see ANY such trails here but this time there were at least 3. The one I was confused by was on a path parallel with the other 2 when it suddenly appears to have made a 90 degree turn. I did NOT whitness the turn or the craft that made it but did photograph the resulting vapor trail, which dissapated shortly after the picture was taken. If you would like to see this photo (taken with my digital camera) I can email you a copy of the file. Perhaps you or an expert that you know can tell me how such a manuver can be made. I have NO explaination for this phenomena.
We have reviewed the image, which was sent to NUFORC electronically. All we see is what appear to be normal contrails in a blue sky. One contrail has a bend in it. We suspect the aircraft passed a navigation way point and executed a turn to its right. We see nothing in the photograph that suggests UFO activity. PD

Large fluorescent green disk falling from the sky
|
There was large fluorescent green sphere/disk shape, hallow in the center, falling from the sky into the treeline. At first I thought it was a shooting star until I realized how big and how bright green it was and I started yelling for my son to turn around to see it before it disappeared. It lasted about 15 seconds before disappearing into the tree line in the distance.

Noticed "star" moving across sky...it stopped...continued moving, and changed color...streaked away in a second.
|
While checking the night sky, I noticed a "star", roughly 2/3 the size of Venus at this time of year (which is quite large), moving across the sky, from SW to NE.
The light it emitted seemed to be more muted in intensity than the stars or planets, such as Venus. This light had no flicker, nor movement of any kind. Self-illuminated? That was my thought about it. Thquality of this lightimmediately struck me as a bit odd, and it stood out from the rest of the night sky.
As I was watching it, I thought I heard jet engines, which I did. Another aircraft passed by, crossing the other vehicle's path, though clearly not at the same altitude. This is when I took special notice...
As the jet appeared to get closer to the path of the first craft, the first craft came to a complete stop...totally stationary...and it sat like this for 10 seconds or so.
Once the jet had traveled for about 6 seconds, across the path and beyond, the first vehicle returned to motion and continued on its way. At this time, there was no audible sound from that area of the sky, or anywhere else in the sky...eerily silent.
As this vehicle continued on, I watched it for another 5 seconds or so...as I did this, its color changed from the white light it was emitting, to a reddish orange color. Once the color changed ocurred, it streaked out of sight...yes, it accelerated from the speed it had been maintaining to "gone in a second". No contrail, no sound...just gone.
I went inside and immediately told my husband, who agreed that I should file this report.
Just to let you know, I have filed a couple of reports in the past with NUFORC. I am an avid skywatcher, so I tend to notice things that are odd, or out of place.

I was born in1956 and happened before I started school.I taken from my home and my mother found me in the basement screaming
|
Through out my life I was taken by them and they did things to me. When I started puberty they took my sperm with a suctioning cup thing over my genitalia that caused rashes. My mom took me to the family’s doctor. He was not sure what the cause was.The thing that took me looked like a big slimy toad and smelled like a dipper pail ammonia like stood on 2 feet I can’t say how many times this happened over years. I got a big sore like pimple that was called a boil on my crotch. My dad had a nervous breakdown and was sent to mental hospital Eloise in Detroit.He was never the same.I taken with a friend we were going to go fishing and the end of nine mile road in lake Saint Clair we just got our lines in when we saw a light we couldn’t tell if it was in,on or above water white and bright is all we could see way out in the lake. In the blink of a eye it was with us. After it was getting light we were down the canal by the side and near the sewer plant discharge. Cold and scared we looked at each other and said now we know what a helicopter looks like. Our bikes were still at the end of the pier as we brought in our lines got on our bikes and went back home. We never talked about it agin for 40 years he came to my home I could tell something was wrong that’s when he said remember that light we saw at nine mile Pier? I said yes that was a helicopter he said do remember seeing a helicopter I paused and said no he said he didn’t either asked did I know how we got so far from our bikes a poles that were our pride and joy i said no same for him we both found we had no words to say. After that talk we never felt the same or talked about it again.we had been friends best friends since kindergarten lost contact with each other for some years a week and a half before he died I felt compelled to talk to him he was not sick but would not take my call his wife called to say he had A heart attack and passed away at funeral his son asked me why I tried so hard to speak with him was there some thing he had told me I said no I felt like I had to hear his voice and connect with him. I think he remembered what happened to us that night or at least part of it. That we been given false memories to cover the aliens tracks.It disturb us so much that he and I couldn’t face each other for fear of remembering more. The aliens are here and they’re real I know because I had to deal with it all my life in many occasions I’ve lost time end up in spots I had no recollection of going so that’s my story at least part I thought I should tell someone. I think they were what you call reptilian‘s green and brown skin like a snake smooth and slippery and smelt like ammonia that’s all I remember.That took place in the mid to late 60s 66or67 maybe 68 he’s has been gone going on two years.I have a scoop mark on my right leg just above knee Something hard in my right wrist moves around.

Orange lights in sky
|
Was out the back of the house hanging out my washing and saw a biright orange light in the sky travelling very slowly much slower than a plane, I went into the house to tell my partner and by this time the light had travelled over to the front of the house and there were now 2 orange lights and they merged together, and continued very slowly and disappeared behind the trees. Everyone in my street were out in their gardens and saw it also.

Orange fireball seen over Fond du Lac
|
Object was seen in Fond du Lac in the northeastern sky moving north-northwest. It was a silent orange ball that looked to be on fire. After a couple minutes it seemed to fade away. Object was too high and consistent for fireworks.

A disklike object with two very large, bright yellow lights seen approx 2-3 minutes in Lake Conroe Forest, Montgomery, Texas.
|
U.F.O. sighting: subdivision: Lake Conroe Forest; city/state: Montgomery, Texas; zip code: 77316 date: 1/24/08 I am a female, 19 years old, college student at Montgomery/ Lone Star College. At exactly 11:00 P.M., I was driving home on Cheyenne street,(1 street away from my house) when I witnessed a flying disklike object hovering over the trees. I stared in awe at the object because of its two very large, bright yellow lights symmetrically apart from each other, but definitely attached to the disklike object. I began to slow my truck down and pull onto the side of the road because it looked as if it were very close, almost as if it was going to land in the forest. I was in a rush to get home and seeing this object made me pull over because of it's size, lighting, and location it was hovering. It remained hovering for 2-3 minutes and suddenly vanished. If you have any information on this object I would greatly appreciate some feedback. I have called your hotline in Washington, that was listed on your website ( which i ran to find as soon as i arrived). Thank you for having your website and hotline available

I was looking at ants on my windshield and I saw something entering the atmosphere
|
I didn't "see" an object just a 'tail' or a streak from what looked like something entering Earth's atmosphere. I went driving kind of toward it but I lost it. Then I saw another one in a different oblique direction. They were both west of where I was and they were north and south of each other.
Things I thought I might be:
- Meteorite/ Meteor
- Space junk
- Re-entry of a Space-X /
NASA object

Triangular craft flies very low over Dudley UK
|
I watched as a very bright light came slowly across our housing estate, as it came closer it looked triangular in shape with a row of very strong lights across the front(like flood lights on a football ground). As it fly over my car it went much slower and you could see cells that were randomly changing colour,they were sometimes red changing to yellow or blue, as it came over the car the cells all went yellow. It then turned onto its side and went faster and higher until it disapeared out of our view.

Green and white fireball coming toward Earth
|
At the dog park alone, I saw one unidentified fireball/comet like object. Its tail was white, and the fireball was neon green. It was traveling quite fast at a 45 or so degree angle toward the earth.
I did not hear an impact, which surprised me, nor did I hear any noise associated with it. It was much to large to be a drone.

STRANGE TUBE UFO SEEN ACROOS SKY
|
IT WAS A CLEAR SKY WHEN MY COUSIN AND I HEARD A LOUD NOISE. WE LOOKED UP AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE AND SAW AN OBJECT WHICH APPEARED TO BE A SORT OF LONG TUBE WITH 4 WINGS STICKING OUT THE SIDE. THE WINGS LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE FLAPPING LIKE A BIRD. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS ONE LONG UFO OR TWO UFO VERY CLOSE TO EACH OTER. THERE WERE NO LIGHTS ON THE UFO, BUT YOU COULD SEE A LIGHT GREYISH COLOR. I ESTIMATED IT WAS 13OOO - 15000 FEET HIGH. I ALSO ESTIMATED IT WAS 500 - 600 FEET ACROOS.

Brilliant vertical ring of lights moved silently and slowly over lake, then turned, illuminating the surrounding hills.
|
At 2:00am on a warm August night, my then ten year old son and I drove a few miles from our home in Greenville to Round Valley Lake to meet a friend(i'll call him Frank) for a night of catfishing. It is a very twisty winding road for just a few miles to the lake. About a mile before we got to the lake, my son, sitting in the front passenger seat, said “dad, is that a full moon out?” I leaned over to look and saw a brilliant white light about a quarter mile away across a canyon and behind the trees on the ridge. I thought it must be a full moon and told my son “looks like it” and kept driving not thinking anything else about it. Around a minute later, we turned to go across the small dam at the lake, drove maybe 100 yards and almost hit my friend Frank who was walking fast towards us in the middle of the road. I stopped fast, and could tell something was wrong. Franks eyes were wide open, and he was yelling something before I could even roll my window down to ask him what he was doing in the middle of the road. The first thing I heard him yelling was “Did you see it? Did you see it? Did you see the F***ing light?” I had known Frank about 7 years at that time, and had never seen him act anything like this before. I shut off my engine, and turned off the lights on my jeep, got out and said “What light? I saw the full moon.....” I looked up to see the full moon, but it was a moonless night.
Just then, Frank said “LOOK…….there it is”. That’s when we all 3 saw it going away from us, going slightly right to left through Long Valley, just North of the lake we were standing at. It was silent, and very bright white. It moved slowly, perhaps 10 MPH about 100 feet above the ground lighting up the surrounding hills as it moved along. From there it just moved towards the West and within a few minutes was gone.
Catfishing was good that night after all.
Frank told us that it was a ring of lights, some different colored ones, and mostly white lights all around the circle, and came across the lake towards him with the circle or ring standing vertically, and made absolutely no sound. He was talking very fast and very excited about it all night, which is not like him at all.
Witness indicates that date of incident is approximate. PD

Bright, radiating Orb above Littleton
|
This is not a joke.
My significant other and I are really scared. We were looking West, and an EXTREMELY bright orb appeared in the sky above the Mt. Evans area. We were outside with our neighbor, who actually got BURNED by the heat emitted from the orb. His skin was all red and blistery after the exposure to the orb--possible radiation?
I am religious, so I do not want to call it a UFO, but it was without a doubt, not of this world, or any. It was close enough that my wife, ((wife's name deleted)), could feel the heat RADIATING off the orb on her face. Please help.

The craft was first spotted in a completely stationary position about a hand below the moon, flashing as a very bright rectangle.
|
The craft was first spotted after sunset in a completely stationary position about four fingers below the crescent moon, flashing as a very bright rectangle. After a minute, it adjusted to a higher position, arcing a bit to the west. After a couple of minutes at that unwavering station, the craft very quickly moved diagonally down towards the horizon where the sun had just set ten to fifteen minutes earlier. The most striking elements were the regular period and the brightness of the flashing light, and the speed and precision in which it moved.

Airplane lighting up the clouds?
|
Heard jet/airplane sound then two lights came into view. They were pretty bright yellow as it was in the clouds on cloudy night. They were making the clouds light up brightly like a camera flash on and off quickly, and constantly. The lights did disappear after a few seconds. I thought holy ((one word deleted, that's powerful when i saw it in the clouds.
((
One of three reports from the same source. Possible hoax?? PD)

Orange Orbs South East of Brownsbrug, IN
|
On 10/6/2012. My wife and I were waiting to park in our garage. One of our kids had parked blocking our entrance. As we waited our car faced South-East so that we could pull in as soon as the other car was moved.
During the time we waited, we noticed two orange orbs in the night sky facing us that looked to be roughly 10 miles off toward downtown Indianapolis. The orbs were initially horizontal to one another, and had a slight shimmer. At first we thought these might be helicopters or a military operation but the orbs were not moving any closer. Rather as we continued observation for the next minute or so, we saw the orb on the right make a sudden dip to a vertical formation. The orb on top did not change position. The orb on the bottom switched back to the horizontal formation and the vertical a couple more times. These were fast sharp movements that did not resemble a helicopter. The orb that moved started to get closed to the other orb and was started to move behind the other orb.
At this point, our daughter signaled us and moved her car. We pulled into the garage, all the while keeping an eye on the orbs until we crossed the threshold into the garage. In the span of maybe 10 seconds that it took for us to park, and walk back out to the driveway the orbs has vanished. I would not expect a helicopter or other conventional craft to simply vanish.

Lights and flashes in the sky with interaction every night since the spring of 2020.
|
It all started in the spring of 2020. All together I have had 100s of sightings and have had multiple interactions. I've also have had plenty of witnesses; which includes a high ranking officer in the Air Force. Some of the UFOs I've seen are fireballs; but mostly different colors of light.. round. The interactions I have are flashes of light back and forth. If I flicker a lighter or flashlight most usually they respond.
One sighting I've seen with my girlfriend was one of the craziest I've ever seen. We were sitting on the back porch looking for any sign of a UFO because the night before we were seeing them all over. All of a sudden over the mountain in front of our house; huge balls of light (couldn't see an actual craft because they were so bright) one by one you could see them coming right over top of us. My girlfriend had our kids and was so scared she wanted to go in the house. The were flying in a straight line (no it was Starlink.. I've seen those satellites.. twice) and as they passed the tree in the back yard where we were they disappeared one by one into thin air. There was about 30 of them round about. It's like they left the realm of Earth or something. Very strange thing.. I don't think I'll ever see anything like that again.
Something that is strange to me is that every since I have been seeing these UFOs ; I've also have been seeing military planes, drones, and helicopters. As the military planes came in the sightings have dwendeld down. It's hit or miss when I go out to see them, but almost every night I see at least a flash in the sky or what I call cruisers that just cruise thru the night sky then eventually disappear or zip off.
I am a true believer and have seen it with my own eyes. There is a lot more I could tell but I would need much more time. I'm just glad I get to share my story with other people that have seen them too. I think it's also great that there is a team of people interested in what the government is hiding from us. When will we get any answers ??

Triangle formation of lights
|
I was laying in bed at night and looked out the window and normally am able to see
Planes at night due to being in the flight path however I did not see any on flight tracker in the vicinity. I saw three very bright white and orange lights that formed a perfect triangle. The lights were pulsating in and out forming a larger triangle then smaller triangle changing size all while maintaining its shape. I also saw another small bright white orb up to the left upper side of the camera view. All of a sudden all of the lights compressed into one and
Shot away in a very fast not normal flight pattern that I have ever seen.

the craft was cigar shaped looking kind of like a large blimp, was at night, white looking, with veins of some sort on the outside of the craft, dark in color, around the craft. there was a very small bright object at one end of the blimp. after about two minutes, the small round bright object took off from the main body of the craft.it took off at very high rate of speed and dissapeared in the sky. the blimp object lost its light and dissapeared into kind of a fog type look. and drifted away. at least 25 to 30 people saw this event happen on the interstate freeway that night.
