Clear sky with full moon and bright stars. Witnessed a green flashing / pulsating light flying from north to south at mid altitude but much higher speed than a conventional aircraft. Made a purring like sound when flown above me and some of the flashes were kind of elongated, briefly giving a hint of larger craft.
Object headed north, then slowed down almost to full stop, then resumed trajectory until got out of sight.

It was a sphere that was moving very fast among the clouds.

On the afternoon of the sighting, a light rain was falling, it was about to get dark, I was watching the horizon when a sphere emerged from among the clouds; it did not seem to be very far away, it was moving quickly. At first glance, it looked metallic; if it had been a balloon, there would be no way it could move in a straight line, and just as it appeared from among the clouds, it disappeared back into them.

Original report in Spanish:

Era una esfera que se desplazaba muy rápido entre las nubes.



La tarde del avistamiento estaba cayendo una ligera lluvia, estaba por oscurecer me encontraba viendo el horizonte cuando de entre las nubes salio una esfera no parecía estar muy lejos, se movía rápido. A simple vista se miraba que era algo metálico, si hubiese sido un globo no habría forma de que se moviera en línea recta y así como apareció de entre las nubes se volvió a perder en ellas.

still bright yellow light high up over Peten, Guatemala

A dot light in the sky, slightly biggger and brighter than satellites seen from Earth early at night, but not moving, just still in the sky -definetly not a star or planet, looked more like a firefly at night but obviously very high up.

Vanished from sight when high cumulus clouds closed in (if it were a firefly it wouldn't have been covered by the clouds).

Man like floating, he looked like an astronaut but he was white and reflected the color white

This is my second sighting, it was in the year 2000. I remember the event very well, but not the exact date, but the year because I was in second grade. I always arrived early to school that day before reaching the first block on the way to school I saw a man floating on the right side like an astronaut something similar, my innocent mind did not know that astronauts were only outside the planet and not I didn't know anything about that topic and I didn't have a television because almost all of my childhood didn't have a television in my family. When I got to school at recess time I told a friend that I saw an astronaut and he told me they can't do that. That. In the end I make these reports because the truth is that they are two very strange things that I saw, the one on the bus and this man as an astronaut and that morning there were almost no clouds, the sky was very clear to clarify what it was, it was not a cloud and I was wearing glasses so I can see that astraunata guy well and I don't know if he disappeared because I continued on my way ignoring that strange object or man

a ufo streaked across the sky

I saw a huge cylinder in the sky. It moved like a rocket ship across the sky at amazing speeds.

I took out my camera, but the film erased itself as if by some strange power I do not understand.

Cylindrical object that fires from the bottom

This is my story, when I was 8 years old something happened on a trip that was always made for Easter, I remember that we left at 12 pm or 11 pm I don't remember the schedule very well, the bus was one that was paid for trips group, that trip there were few people, my family and I were sitting on the right side of the bus, I had to go along with my father and my little sister who he was carrying sleeping on his legs, we had already passed a place called the ranch, it was route CA9 heading to Esquipulas Guatemala, I put the coordinates 15.087521, -89.454728 not exact but I remember that it was through that area, I was looking out the window, it was all dark, the bus did not have the light off on the inside, when my father told me He moved his shoulder and pointed at me and there we both saw a cylindrical object, the size I don't remember but it was big, this object shot fire from below like a propellant but I didn't know if it was taking off or landing it was so fast everything and half the color was visible white or silver, I can assure you that it was something that I thought was an astronaut spaceship but since I was a child I did not know and my father was a little uneducated on the subject of technology of those days, the next day we discussed it with my mother, The other people didn't see it because they were sleeping and the bus driver, I think he saw it or I don't know. I share this moment because it was something I saw just like another object I saw that I will put in another report but it was like 3 years later

Sharp 90 degree turns from what appeared to be a satelite

Appeared to be a satelite crossing night sky directly overhead object made a 90 degree turn to the left for a few seconds and then made a 90 degree turn to the right. Turns were precise they were not gradual. Witnessed by several people who were all watching the night sky.



NUFORC Note:

Anonymous report. However, we have received many such reports of satellites allegedly making abrupt changes of course. Many of those reports may be cases of mistaken identity, but we suspect not all of them are. PD

Duration: about 7 minutes

Location: Panajachel (near) (Guatamala), , Guatemala

Shape: Changing
Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted beams

Beam of light follows me walking, moves high into trees on cliffside, seems to swivel as it fades out.

After being shaken up by a previous event with Orion's missing stars earlier that evening, was walking into the village on a desolate road at the base of a very steep cliff. A very bright beam of light shone on me from behind, and thinking it was a car coming, moved to the side. But a car didn't pass me.

I thought nothing of it since I had passed a house not far back (opposite the cliff) and maybe the car had stopped there (didn't look back). A minute later again a light from behind, throwing my shadow directly in front of me, and again moved the side so a car could pass, the light went out and no car passed.

Another minute or so later it happens again and I noticed my shadow moving in an odd way, turned around to see what was going on and saw a bright light, maybe twice the apparent size of a full moon in the treetops high up on the cliff. Just as I looked at the light it went off, fading out and seeming to turn as it did so. I stood there puzzling on what was going on, knowing that there were no trails on this cliffside.

I continued on my way another few yards and the light came on again. It did seem to be a beam of light, shining directly at me, since it only illuminated the area right around me. And just as before, when I looked up at the light, it faded out and seemed to turn as it did so. I saw some diagonal movement of the light before and during it's fading.

I continued into Pana for a much needed beer, but unable to tell anyone for several days of the events of that evening.

Years later saw two men on an afternoon talk show telling of there experience while in a small boat on a lake at night. Their description of the light, turning or swiveling as it faded out, seems almost identical to my event.

Also read in a book about a couple hiking an area well known to them after dark, and seeing a similar light shining at them from across a valley, moving through the treetops on a cliffside too steep for any trails.

4 of ORION'S stars obscured on a clear night at Lake Atitlan

The 4 stars that frame Orion's belt disappeared.

VERY clear night, Milky Way bright across the sky, Orion at zenith, looked up to see the 4 bright stars at Orion's corners gone from the sky! The belt was clearly visible as were all other stars, not even a wisp of cloud.

Surmised there were 4 objects, large, dark and very high, obstructing my view of just those 4 stars!

This caused me great anxiety, finally after 15 minutes went into the house to gather my wits.

When going out to look again about 5 minutes later, Orion had returned to normal.
