Bright flashing orbs of light seen on a mountain, appearing and disappearing in patterns, sometimes in groups of 5-7.

Over the past year, I have observed bright flashing orbs of light from the rooftop of my house, overlooking a city surrounded by mountains. These lights appear at night, sometimes as one, and other times in groups of 3 to 5 or 6. They flash or vibrate, going on and off, and occasionally stay lit for extended periods. The lights appear to move in unison, sometimes staying on for over 5 minutes, and the patterns they form seem endless. Their brightness fluctuates, at times becoming laser-like and dim, while at others they shine brightly. The location is a clear vantage point to see them on the mountain in front of my home.

Bright, flashing lights appear in the sky over a mountain, with one light following another before disappearing, observed repeatedly.

Over the past year, I’ve observed bright, flashing lights appearing in the night sky over a large mountain. One light often appears seemingly out of nowhere, followed shortly by another light, which follows the first before both disappear. This pattern of lights reappears frequently, with the lights sometimes appearing in different locations on the mountain. The lights seem to move in unison and often disappear or fade out after a few moments. At times, the lights form groups of 5 or even 6, playing on and off in a coordinated manner. When all the lights go off, one remains on for more than 5 minutes before it also fades away. This recurring sighting has become more frequent and consistent over time.

Location details: North East of Bir el Ater, filmed from a flight location west, heading towards Tebessa

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object

Flashing lights on craft, motionless for extended period, followed by hight speed, erratic movement vertically and horizontally

On a flight from Lagos (Nigeria) to Amsterdam (Netherlands), i suddenly noticed flashing lights at a great distance from our aircraft at 36,000ft. I observed the flashing lights for approximately 10 mins to determine any movements that might identify this as another aircraft; the object however remained at a fixed and motionless point in the distance over the time. Suddenly, and without any visible trail or propulsion, the obect flashing lights began to move a significant distance both vertically and horizontally, in fractions of a second, in an erratic manner. I took out my mobile phone to record the object movements on maximum zoom video; the erratic movements continued for a further number of minutes. I looked at my phone to review the quality of video taken and looked up after 10-15 seconds, the object had vanished from view completely. There was no turbulence whatsoever at this point in the flight, and therefore no consequent notable aircraft movement during filming; camera hand movement was also very limited indeed. The skies were very clear, no cloud or other cover present. I made the following notes of location annd direction from aircraft flight data as follows: North East of Bir el Ater, equidistant from Batra to the left, heading towards Tebessa; 1181 miles from Amsterdam; time 03.10 GMT; altitude 10,973m, ground speed 854Km/h.

Sliver colored Aircraft over Algeria

Please read this story with an open mind, as this story is 100% true. It's something that I've been living with for many years and I finally want to share my story.

Back in 1991, I was around 14 years old and I was playing in the garage. I heard my mom screaming my name, I knew something wasn't right. I saw my mom staring at an object hovering above the tree's inside our property.

I did not hear any sound or movement, however the aircraft was amazingly well crafted. It was something not from this world, I did not see any nuts or bolts. It was silver colored, with a tinted shield.

After I stared at it for a min or so, this ufo started flashing its lights that where surrounding the aircraft. The lights were blinking as if they were trying to communicate with us.

Then it flew away, and I jumped over the wall to follow it. It stayed for a few seconds and then disappeared within a fraction of a second, like the speed of light.

Til today I think of this and I'm glad to finally find a place to share my story and experience.

((ADDENDUM FROM SOURCE OF REPORT))

Dear Peter, Thank you very much for your quick response and your interest in my story that I shared with you. Attached is a drawing of what happened on that day. I hope that my story can contribute to your organization. Please don't hesitate call or email me if you need more clarification or details of this story or of my drawing.

Thank you again,

((ADDENDUM #2 FROM WITNESS))

Hi Peter, You certainly have my approval to post my story along with my drawing. I will speak to my mother and get her side version of the story so that I can translate it to English. I will see if I can put together a sketch to represent her story as well.
I'll be in touch soon.

Thanks again so much for your time. ((name deleted))

Sighting in Algiers; 1991.

This story is an interpretation for my mother, whose primary language is native N. African:

Approx 2pm, I was working in the backyard, when suddenly I saw a silver aircraft with tinted windows right above me. I screamed, calling my son that was in the garage and he came running. We stood still observing in awe.

No movement or sound came from the aircraft. Within some minutes, the aircraft started flashing lights to perhaps communicate with us. Then my son climbed above the wall in our yard to try to reach for it, but the aircraft was higher up. Within seconds, the aircraft then took off through the fields of wheat. My son tried to follow and stood beneath it for a couple seconds, but it vanished.

A Strange Encounter When I Was 7 Years Old

I am currently 42 years old. This story happened when I was 7 years old, and it has stayed with me ever since.

One summer night, I went to spend the night at my grandmother's house. Her house was an old Arabic-style house with one large room, and two big doors, one on the right and one on the left. As was common back then, we slept with the doors wide open because of the summer heat, and the area was safe.

After a nice dinner and some children's stories, I fell asleep in the middle of the room with my family, and the doors were left wide open. Around 3 or 4 in the morning, I heard a loud sound coming from the sky. The sound grew louder, like the sound of flying saucers from American movies.

At that time, I didn't know anything about UFOs, as television was only owned by the wealthy. I was a child, and I had no knowledge of such things. I woke up terrified when I heard that sound, thinking it might be demons, as we were often warned about them in Algerian folklore.

I was terrified, and my heart was racing. My face was pale, and I could hardly breathe. I tried to scream, but I couldn't. I tried to speak to my family, but I couldn't. I tried to move, but I was completely paralyzed, as though I was bound.

After some time, I saw a bright column of light coming from the sky, shining through the roof. From this light, a strange creature appeared, one that I had never seen before in my life. It looked exactly like a UFO from the movies, with large eyes.

Then another creature, identical to the first, descended. The first creature walked up to the door and started staring at me with strange looks, as though it was searching for something specific in my personality.

I was frozen in place, unable to speak or move. It was as if I was bound by an invisible force. Then, I saw the first creature communicate telepathically with the second one, saying, "This is not the person we are looking for."

After that, both creatures turned and headed back toward the light. They ascended back into the spinning craft that resembled a flying saucer, just like the ones shown in the movies, with flashing lights. Then, the craft shot off into the sky at an incredible speed.

Once the craft disappeared, I was finally able to move and speak. I screamed out loud, waking up my family. They rushed to me, but no one believed me. They thought I was either lying or crazy.

Since that day, I have lived with this memory, and no one has ever believed my story.

Bright and low flying UFO's

The event was observed by the National Observatory in Bouzareah in Algiers and reported in the algerian "El Moudjahid" newspaper the day after.

Not sure which day of the month it really was,but at about 9pm in January of 1970,I was playing soccer with my brother when suddenly a fleet of UFO's crossed the sky right abbove us. There were bright orange, very luminous but the source of light could not be seen, the were rectangular, almost square with rounded corners. They each had a small flame in the back. They were large and were flying at a relatively low altitude about 1000 ft I would say.

They were quiet (no sound), flew from one horizon to another in less than 2 minutes.

There were flying all at the same constant speed, in a very organized way. They were flying in rows of 5 or 6 and basically were forming a matrix like unit. There must have been 3 or 4 dozens of them, may be more. They were hard to count because of their constant change of position of the trailing fleet elements to the front of the fleet.

The most striking thing was that some of the ships in the last row would come out of the fleet perpendicular to the fleet, still moving at the same pace as the fleet, move forward with amazing acceleration, and get ahead of the pack sideways inward to form an element of a newly formed first row. Basically the trajectory was linear and never did it curve, but rather changed directions at right angle! The next few, I kept observing the sky and there was a lot of activities. One time I saw bright spots moving in the daytime sky. Some of those would be still, and then accelerate very fast toward space and their visibility would fade.
