I’m driving to Goro, when these objects appears, and disappear after a few seconds.

I was driving from Bosco Mesola towards Goro. On the road, after just passing the Bosco Mesola forest, so there were no more trees that could block my view, I saw on the horizon, not too high, 5 lights stopped in the air, they formed a straight line, eastbound, they seemed to be above the town of Santa Giulia, a few kilometers away as the crow flies. Very bright orange lights, lasting a maximum of 10 seconds, I tried to make a video but it didn't have time to focus, and given the short duration of these lights, in the video you can barely see one disappear. They disappeared one after the other while remaining still.

Anxiety.

I was in the car with my boyfriend when, at a certain point, to my right (passenger window), I saw an object pass by in mid-air, at a distance of about 60 meters from me and an altitude of about 30 meters above the ground. The object was a perfect circle, similar in size to a car wheel. It was a black darker than the night, probably matte black.

The sighting lasted about 5 seconds. It seemed to move in a continuous and straight line until I noticed that it vanished into thin air.

Original report in Italian:

Ansia

Ero in macchina con il mio ragazzo quando, a un certo punto, alla mia destra (finestrino passeggero), ho visto passare un oggetto a mezz’aria, a una distanza di circa 60 metri da me, a un’altezza di circa 30 metri da terra.

L’oggetto era un cerchio perfetto, simile per grandezza alla ruota di un’automobile. Era di un nero più scuro della notte, probabilmente nero opaco.

L’avvistamento è durato circa 5 secondi. Mi è sembrato che si muovesse in modo continuo e in linea retta, finché non ho notato che è scomparso nel nulla

A silent and nearly transparent black spherical object was observed moving horizontally at a constant speed.

This summer, I was on the balcony at night with my girlfriend, and we spotted a kind of black sphere flying in the sky. It moved slowly, at a constant speed, traveling horizontally and perfectly parallel to the ground. It was hard to see, but by focusing, we could clearly distinguish a spherical shape, almost transparent, and completely silent.

One large object and about 39 more distant objects were observed. Enlarge photos to see the more distant objects.

About 40 brilliant white objects were observed moving away from the observers over a period of about 5 minutes. Two photos were taken and are attached. Enlarge the photos to see multiple more distant objects to the right of the single large object. There was no sound detected. The objects maintained their altitude (ie, were not falling or rising). Differences in positions of the objects between the 2 photos taken about one minute apart can provide an estimation of speed. A large passenger jet plane was seen flying from east to west in the same vicinity about 30 seconds before the objects were observed. The plane left the area but the objects persisted and seemed to slowly drift away as a group. One observer is a nurse and the other works for a pharmaceutical company.

A white light in the sky moved in very unusual ways

Myself and my friends were sitting in the grass up in the mountains of Assisi looking up at the stars. We were pointing out shooting stars, the nasa satellite so we knew how moving objects in the sky appeared. However, I pointed out a very bright star, I had never seen a star as bright as this one. Just as I pointed it out, it got very bright very quickly and looked as though it was headlights coming straight towards us, we all jumped up as we got a fright and as we did this it turned directly on its side, and flew the opposite direction. It did not turn how a plane would turn, it shot onto its side. We then followed it in this new direction and it shot from side to side in an unusual manner and then suddenly disappeared. We all saw it. The rest of the night had a very strange feeling to it after that.

A few moments after it disappeared. We heard a rumbling noise, it didn’t quite sound like a car and there didn’t seem to be any around.

I was outside my home, to photograph the moon and the stars. Then a light caught my attention. I saw an orange orb that was flying over the trees, i wasn't able to determine if it was right over a fitness trail that passes through the trees in the village where I live, of it was farer away over the woods. It was moving quite fast, describing ascending and descending serpentine like movements. I observed it through the zoom fo my camera, then i shot some photos, of which in one i could set the camera correctly to capture the object. I had enough time to go to call my mother to let her see the object, but she couldn't see it.

It was floating and then suddenly stopped, then it started to float again. It wasn’t an airplane

It was at night, my mum thought that it was an airplane that was moving really fast so she told me “look at the airplane” and it changed direction so we were like “this is not an airplane”, then it continued to change direction, it floated and moved sideways and it also started to move up and down, up and down and then it stopped and stayed in the sky for some minutes without moving. then it started to float again. It had red lights and turned green but it cannot be a drone because it was too far in the sky and also because drones have both green and red lights, while this one was all red or all green. I don’t know how much it lasted because after more or less 10 minutes I had to leave but it was still there. I am sure it wasn’t an airplane. I googled and found some other people who saw the same thing around the globe in the last months like this video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk7eUXDCY5E . I was with my mum and there was also another person who witnessed it close to us but in the whole neighborhood there must be even more people who saw it.

We all turned right and seen three cylindrical shaped objects flying and emitting an intense light from below. I quickly opened the camera app on my smartphone, since I already had it by hand, and shoot some fast shakey photos. Just before I could steady my hands, the UFOs disappeared in the distance at what was like a Mach-4 speed. Me and my friends were so scared after that, that neither of us could sleep that night.

They moved and were close to the ground.

It was as if they were playing with each other—one emitted light, then another, and so on.

There were three lights, and then they moved closer to me. A disc appeared above me. That same afternoon, I had done laundry, but the next day, everything in the garden was burned, including the clothes.

Noticed images in background sky 2 years after photos were taken. 3 of us touring site, never heard nor seen these while we're there.

2 Photos that capture what appear to be a UFO/UAP. Photos: 7567 and 7540.
The photos were taken at Ostia Antica in Italy, the morning of May 19, 2019.

We did not notice the UFO/UAP until 2021, when I was using our Italy trip photos as my screen saver.

As we zoomed in, the photo looks like a 'classic' depiction of a UFO.

Note, we did not hear anything at all and did not see any drones flying around. In fact, we arrived at the park very early in the morning, just as the park opened to the public. We had the place virtually to ourselves for the first 2 hours. My wife Laura and cousin Ann.

Just thought these photos are too incredible to keep to ourselves and wanted to share. Truly unexplainable. I don't know what this is, or how it appeared in our photos. I can also share the original photos from the original disk if interested to validate the authenticity. Photos taken with a Canon camera.
Otherwise, I unfortunately do not have anything else to share.

We didn't notice anything on the spot

My companion and I spend the day at the Sky Way Mont Blanc ski lift. That evening, looking back at the photos taken in the morning, we notice within a panoramic image captured by my smartphone model Oneplus 6, a strange flat and circular shaped object near the Giant's Tooth gel. At the time of the shot, I heard no sound and did not notice anything (metadata time 11:33:03).

We immediately think of a windblown ice particle-as several are seen in the backlit portion of the photo-but something doesn't add up. The "object" is larger in size and has a well-defined outline. Also, no other airborne features appear in that area, indicating that the ice particles-surely present at 3500 m altitude-are not visible from that angle.

At some point I notice a detail in the left section of the image: among other things, I have apparently captured a person intent on taking a photo in the same direction with their phone at about the same time (as you can easily verify through a simple web search, on the Oneplus 6 panoramic images can only be captured from right to left, which means that the other person must have taken a few seconds after me). As chance would have it, this person was indeed my partner.

We immediately search for the photo on her Huawei P Smart Plus device (standard photo, not panoramic) and to our enormous amazement we find out that she also managed to shoot the exact same object (comparison of enlargements leaves no doubt about it), 3 seconds later (metadata time 11:33:06), in a significantly different position (in perspective, much higher and much further away). Note in this photo, the reflection of the sun on the aircraft - suggesting a metal structure - as well as the peculiar inclination of the latter, a detail that together with many others (singular profile / absence of propellers, thrusters or other visible protruding elements / high sustained speed and large distance covered in the short time frame indicated / unusual ascending course / absence of noise during flight) leaves one extremely puzzled about the nature of this phenomenon.

A clarification: it is evident that the lower part of the object in the panoramic photo of the Oneplus 6, is nothing but digital noise generated by the software in the photographic stacking process that leads to the creation of the image itself (zooming in on the mountains it is indeed possible to notice other digital artifacts). Therefore, in order to define the real shape, only the top part of the object, i.e., the flat, circular disk - also visible in the shot of the Huawei P Smart Plus - and the related shading, which in both images emphasizes the three-dimensionality of the aircraft, must be taken into account. However, digital noise remains a very important element as it is indicative of the object's upward motion, as witnessed in the second shot.

Please darken the faces of people in photos in case of publication

The appearance of a tiny saucer, the size of a bean !

Dear Sir/Madam, thanks to give me the opportunity to share this experience. I do not mind to put my name or contact, btw.

I was sleeping in my bed at night, I opened my eyes and saw some shining stars on top of my feet which were covered inside the bed. I went closer to see what it was, and just one of them was flying towards me, at a very slow peace (sic. pace). It was a very small UFO - disk-shaped- with holes on the sides, making amazing colours (inside the disk there was one wheel going the opposite way the disk was going). It was going slow and showed off all the colours which were mostly pinky, a vivid full colour pink. I was not scared and I was happy to tell this to friends and family. Obviously, my friends had different views about it. I can surely tell you that this disk, - U.F.O disk- wanted to BE SEEN. It looked to me like an old UFO because it was going too slow. But there was no one inside it, there was no alien inside the saucer, the saucer was going by itself. The saucer was big like a BEAN, I never imagined that an UFO can be so tiny! I have enjoyed this experience. I never thought about UFO in all my life and I utterly enjoyed it cause it was a good sensation and I was happy to have seen it. I would like to receive an email, if possible, but in any case, no one knows for sure what it was. Unless someone has experienced what I have experienced. Just to remind: the saucer was tiny like a bean. Have no made photos cause I did not think something like that was passing through my room when sleeping. But I can ensure you that this tiny saucer wanted to be seen. Best wishes.

Possiblity of abduction, strange noises

Hello, i'm ((man's name deleted))., 21, i'm a night worker in the city of Milan.

I was lying on the bed at night after i've got a night of work 3 hours before and i was just getting ready for sleep. I've got a great ability to do OBEs and while i was starting dreaming like it always did, everything around me paralyzed.

While i was realizing that was not a sleep paralysis i started hearing a strange whistle/white-noise and a sensation of circle spinning and pressure decrease, after all of this a voice, like there were somebody talking in front of me, in my native language, was speaking to me. After a while i've seen it's face and it was like a grey but it's eye's were more dark green I was so afraid that could happen something to me, try to harm me however this figure was curious about me i guess, we had a chat but i don't remember what we talked about, I'm shocked about how time could paralyze.

I would really like to talk to somebody, please.

Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

One friend of mine, taking pictures of her daughter, later realized that in the pictures there was a strange ball.

One friend of mine report me that one day she was taking photos of her daughter with her mobile. She lives in Chiaverano (Turin, Italy) and she took the photos right in front of her house. She was using an Iphone SE and the application that she was using was Live Photos. At that moment, she didn't hear any sound and didn't see nothing in the sky. Later on, she reviewed those pictures. Because she was using the Iphone Live Photos, the three pictures that were made were actually a short mini-video. Watching it, she realized that there was a sort of ball moving in the sky at that moment, that was caught on camera. She showed me the pictures and allowed me to make this report to you. I did not touch the pictures in any way: the only thing that I've done is to cover the face of her daughter to protect her identity. Since I don't have the Iphone Live Photos app, I could only collect the file as three consecutive pictures (and not as a mini-video, which is the way one can better appreciate it on an Iphone).
We decide to make the report because, considering the speed with which Live Photos shoots, we were buffled by the incredible speed that this ball had: in a matter of instants looks like moving from above the house to the woods in the background. So, we decide to report to you (as in Italy I'm not aware of any serious recipient to which I could report this). I'm at disposal for further questions.

It was the evening of December 3rd, 2017, when I was outside my terrace in complete darkness, trying to take a picture of the super moon. It was 8:55 pm when I took these pictures. But only yesterday, on December 6th, 2017, when I was looking again at these photos on my computer, I realized this fascinating detail.

I noticed a bright triangular object in pole position, and behind this object at short distance other 5 smaller ships and all in perfect distance close to each other. That evening, the sky was slightly cloudy, but only where I took the picture and the temperature was between 6-7 degrees celsius.


Original version in Italian:

Fotografando la Superluna ho visto 1 nave triangolare e 5 altre piu piccole, ma la piu grande molto piu luminosa

Era la sera del 3 Dicembre 2017 e stavo sulla mia terrazza al aperto completamente al buio cercando di fotografare la Super luna, erano le 20:55 quando ho scattato questa foto. Ma solamente ieri ovvero il 6/12/2017 mi sono accorto di questo affascinante particolare che ha preso la mia attenzione mentre stavo al computer. Nella foto noto un oggetto triangolare luminoso a comando e poi a distanza altre 5 navi più piccole credo a seguirla e tutti in perfetta distanza l’una dall’altra.

Il tempo era leggermente nuvoloso ma sono dove ho scattato la foto e in quel istante, la serata era abbastanza fredda ma sempre sui 6-7 gradi al di sopra lo zero.

07/04/2015 22:05 Forte dei Marmi – Italy Fireball 10 minutes - 1 round fireball flew along the beach before the International festival

Saturday, July 4, 2015, with my partner, we were on the beach of Forte dei Marmi - Italy to attend the International Festival Fireworks' fireworks when, before the show, around 22:05, we were impressed by the vision of a luminous body that He advancing in the sky proceeding at a speed similar to a motorized hang-glider, about 300/500 mt. in height and parallel to the coast line.

At first we thought it was to a motorized hang-glider lit, then not hearing the noise of the engine, in a drone or a weather balloon. We then began to take the phenomenon with the video camera (Sony digital 30X OPTICAL ZOOM, ZOOM EXTENDED 60X, 350X DIGITAL ZOOM:

http://www.sony.it/support/it/content/cnt-specs/HDR-CX330E/list)

to figure out what it were, there appeared glowing, as you can see from the attached video

https://youtu.be/vH9BoAacUpA

And equipped with a red nucleus surrounded by a bright halo and always spherical in shape.

The horizontal progression lasted about 10 minutes from the time of the sighting with linear north-south direction and, again thanks to the video camera, we have observed that the body came shortly before we started to rise above our heads with a vertically abrupt speed change and then disappear at the top. The feeling that therefore we tried was that this body had commanded.

After a few minutes near the spot where he had disappeared we saw very high altitude (the impression was a stratospheric level) as a lightning flash.

The original clip is copied directly from the camera.

The recovery was made by hand without tripod with excellent visibility and starry sky.

Has anyone had experience of this kind? (Sorry for any mistakes in the translation from Italian to English)

Three objects, one large cigar shaped and 2 smaller, possible disc shaped. Clear sky.

First .. Time of picture on camera was 11:10am, United States time. Adding 6 hours for Italian time the actual time of the picture was 17:10pm.

I was visiting the Verrazzano Castle in Tuscany, Italy, on a bus tour and was doing some random picture taking of the beautiful countryside while walking to the castle entrance. I DID NOT notice the three objects in the picture until I offloaded the pictures after returning to the United States on October 10, 2014.

There are three object showing in the picture, one a "cigar" shape having a dense center area with a less dense area near the edges. There is a protuberance showing from the top of the object and possibly on from the bottom.

The other two objects are possibly "smaller" in size and disc shaped? with the lower object also having a similar protuberance when magnified. The other object may also have a protuberance but not sure. The two smaller objects are black and the larger object has a black center are with graying outer areas. Clear sky.

I did not see it. This was wrote in a italian newspaper.

Maybe you will think I'm crazy, but what I saw was truly incredible. LZ
sixty year old from Limana, she tells what she saw a few nights ago: «I went out
on the terrace to smoke a cigarette. I looked up at the sky and suddenly noticed a glow . A ball of fire, moving like an airplane. I put out the cigarette and was enchanted by looking at it. I called my son but in the meantime he was walking around the house. I just had time to see her again on the other side, as she slipped through the clouds, and disappeared. It was something very different from a shooting star."

Angle of Elevation: 35
Closest Distance: 1km
Estimated Speed: min. 30km/h
Characteristics: Lights on object

A flying disk moving east, rotating and illuminated by many white lights, one blue center light and an orbitating red light.

It was July 31, 2013, a summer night like any other. We were walking along a rather isolated road to get home, in the area of Santuario di Savona, and it was around 11:30 PM. Suddenly, we noticed strange lights moving in the sky in circular patterns. There was a large blue light moving sideways to the east, surrounded by many small white lights rotating around it clockwise. A little further ahead, there was a red light that was only visible intermittently, as it seemed to disappear and reappear after a few seconds.

The shape of the object was not clear, but thanks to the moonlight and the arrangement of the lights, the outline of a disc could be inferred. This flying object had just emerged from behind a mountain and was about to disappear behind another rocky formation. It took a couple of minutes to complete its motion and reappeared shortly after, retracing the same path in reverse. What amazed us most about this UFO was the way it moved: it was very slow but moved at an irregular speed.

The object appeared behind a hill 1km away from us. It moved towards east, without changing its size (so staying at a constant distance from us). It disappeared behind another hill, 450m away from us. But given the constant distance from the observer, we estimated its visible trajectory to be around 1km long. Having travelled that distance in approximately 2 minutes, its speed had to be at least 30km/h (given it was close behind the hills).

We took some photos with our cellphones. Out of 3 pics, 2 resulted into corrupted files. One depicts our sighting clearly.

We also did some research and discovered that in São Paulo, Brazil, on the night between July 23 and 24, 2011, there had been practically identical sightings: luminous discs floating and rotating in the sky. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdtIVndBmr4

9 sfere di colore rosso arancio, avvistate verso l'eur.

Era sera, ore 22:35. Ero uscito per prendere mio figlio a lavoro , quando all'improvviso mi colpì il fatto che in cielo c'erano delle strane luci, di color rosso e arancio, avevano una forma sferica, su per giù a venti metri di altezza, cercando di contarle costatai che erano 9. Le sfere erano di un metro circa. Nel cercare di seguire le sfere, man a mano ne spariva una nel nulla. Una scese di colpo e cercai di accostarmi con la macchina, avendo il cellulare pensai di riprendere il tutto con un filmato ma preso dall'attimo non feci in tempo, la sfera si avvicinò a me a 5 metri, la vidi distintamente, la sua forma era completamente sferica con luci che dal vicino potevo notare bianche rosse e arancio al suo interno. A primo impatto sembravano piccoli satelliti.. Cercai intento di rincorrerla con la macchina ma dopo poco sparì! Mai vista una cosa del genere!





((TRANSLATION FROM THE ITALIAN VERSION))

"9 spheres of reddish-orange color, sighted around (unknown word - cannot find in any dictionary; ?typo))


It was evening at 22:35. I had gone out to pick up my son at work, when all of a sudden I was struck by the fact that there were strange lights in the sky which were reddish-orange and spherical in shape; and at approximately 20 meters altitude. Attempting to count them, I ascertained there were 9. The spheres were about a meter in diameter. As I was trying to follow the spheres, gradually one of them disappeared completely. One suddenly descended and I attempted to approach it in the car, hoping to get all on my cell phone as a short video; but before I could do so, the sphere approached me to within 5 meters at which point I was able to see distinctly that its shape was completely spherical with lights internally which, from up close, I was able to see were white, red, and orange. My first impression was that they appeared to be little satellites I was intent on running after it with the car, but after a brief period it disappeared. I have never seen such a thing!"

After ten minutes or so, another light appeared in a straight line going towards the sky from the first light a second light, smaller, bright white. Neither of these lights moved. Our drive took us in various directions from a direct westly path, to south west, to north west. These lights never changed distance between each other or from the ground. Once we arrived home, about 21:15 the lights were still present. We are both middle aged, professionals, with good eyesight.

Walked outside to pull their taped name tags off the perfectly polished brass bell in the front of the Palazzo WHEN. I have not been drinking not a drop.

WHEN I saw 6 in total bright flaming orange-red balls in the sky, floating steady from the east to west over the hills of San Minato-Florence-Italy. They came from nothing very bright and fast and then dissolved into almost transparent round un changing puffs with a steady light that went around it in the middle???

Have I lost it? They just drifted uff but not like a flame going out.

Ran upstairs to get the video but it and my student were leaving the site and in an instance were gone.

A star similar object but cross shaped moving in jolts hovering over an area for prolonged time

I was sitting outside in the garden and I was looking up at the stars, I noticed one that was particularly bright and became infixated with it. Then I thought it must of been an airplane because it started shitfing really slowly in one direction, though it seemed to high in the sky for it to be a plane, it then began subtely jolting from side to side which completly threw me as it was obviousl it was not a plane. It looks like a bright star at first sight, but when staring I noticed the cross shape created generally by a star with rays of light was not like this. The verticle line was bright white, however the the horizontal line had a red glow to it. It stayed in the same area for quite a few hours and I kept a regular check, I called my auntie who was already sleeping to wake up so that I would at least have a witness, at first she said it was a dying star and thats why it got brighter, and said it was the reason I thought it was moving, but then she too s! aw it jolt suddenly to the side. It also kept changing, this I dont know if it was distance getting nearer and further, or brightness

Picture of UFO in Italy last week

http://www.macc.com/UFO.6.2.2010.Ischia.Italy.jpg

My Fiance just got back from a two week trip to Italy. Last Wednesday they hiked to the top of a mountain in Ischia, an Island off Naples to visit a statue of the Holy Mother. They took a sequence of pictures. Never noticing anything in the sky. Although it was a perfectly clear day. It wasn't until they got back to the house later when reviewing the pictures that they noticed a UFO that was above them.

This object was not in the sequence of pictures before or after this one. Interestingly, and within 48 hours of this photograph they heard there was a report on the mainland in Naples that made the local news of someone claiming an actual UFO landed on their property.

Due sfere infuocate su Marsala

Una sera mentre che io e la mia famiglia ritornavamo a casa dopo un matrimonio nella statale che collega la cittadina di Marsala all'autostrada per palermo mi sono accorto nel cielo di una cosa strana.A un altezza circa di 100/200 m c'erano 2 sfere infuocate immobili che ad un primo momento sembravano le luci di alcuni abitazione nella montagna,ma poi appena io e familiari ci siamo accorti che l'unica montagna vicina a noi era a molti chilometri da noi abbiamo capito che erano delle cose fuori dal comune.Gli oggetti erano 2,di forma sferica e avevano un colore arancione acceso che rifletteva nei vetri laterali della macchina.A causa di cio molte vetture si sono fermate nella banchina per guardare stupefatti.Non emettevano suoni,ogni 5 secondi c'era un cambiamento di colore dall'arancione al rosso e al passaggio vicino ad essi si poteva sentire una sensazione stana come di osservazione da parte di un estraneo.Dopo alcuni km abbiamo perso di vista gli oggetti ! a causa dell'avanzamento del traffico ma comunque tramite lo specchietto retrovisore si notava che gli oggetti erano ancora fermi.


((TRANSLATION FROM ITALIAN TO ENGLISH, SUBMITTED BY VISITOR TO NUFORC SITE))

One evening while my family and I were returning home from a wedding traveling on the state road which connects the city of Marsala with the highway to Palermo, I became aware of a strange thing in the sky At a height of about 100-200m there were two immobile burning spheres which at first seemed to us lights from some homes in the distant mountains; but then, as soon as I and other family members realized that the nearest mountain was many kilometers from us, we realized that these objects were out of the ordinary.

The objects were two, of spherical shape, and had a bright orange color which was reflected in the side windows of the car. Because of all of this, many vehicles stopped along the shoulder to watch in stunned amazement. They emitted not a sound and every 5 seconds there was a change of color from orange to red and back; and walking closer to the objects, there was a strange sensation--as if being observed by an extraterrestrial. After a few km. we lost sight of the objects because of the press of traffic, but we were able to see in the rearview mirror that they were still immobile.

Posess surprise daytime image of huge triangle

February 16, 2010, I along with my father viewed an enormous triangle on a July/August evening of 1968 or perhaps 1969 in central Michigan. The sighting was 5-7 minutes long.

We stopped my father’s pick up truck, got out and viewed this massive triangle with a light in each corner. The front light was huge and lit up the night, though it was as if a spotlight illuminated the ground below. The other two lights were not as bright. It was quiet, slow and defied what we knew of how planes fly. My father is now 85. A WWII vet and I am 55.

We told only family at the time as it was and remains quite puzzling.

Fast forward. I am a contractor of sorts indirectly for the DOD. I was going up to the ski lodge on Mt. Etna to take a few photographs. It was a beautiful day with perfectly clear skies. I took some photographs from my car going up, a few times I pulled over to take the pictures. I did not notice the image I captured having the triangle in it when I took it. I simply took a picture from about 6000 feet of the summit. When I viewed the taken image on the viewfinder, I saw it immediately, but thought of it as an orb. When downloaded, it reveals what you see. I know it appears to be invisible, but a daytime photo of this craft does not exist that I am aware of. Also, the front light is large and square edged, and there seems to be a circle of impulses near that large light. It is a remarkable camera and I am a professional. What do you think?

We had lunch and were admiring the view and taking photographs of the sea view (due west).

On going through the images once back in out holiday let we discovered the anomally on one of the photographs. We did not hear any unusual sounds or actually saw the object captured in the image, it looks as though it was moving very fast though.

It was bright orange and moved at an elevation we estimated of around 2,000 meters and moved across the sky above us fairly slowly. We then tried to take photos and then it started going directly up and moved faster than anything any of us had ever seen until it disappeared.

All of us were truly amazed at this sighting since we had never seen something like this in our lives.

Location: Colle D'Valle Delsa/ Scorgiono (Italy), , Italy

Shape: Other
Characteristics: Lights on object

Dim light, like a faint star, moving in a zigzag, changing course abruptly, very, very high in the sky, at a very high speed.

My husband and I were on vacation in Italy in July. We rented a house in the country, in the Chianti region of Tuscany, and went out late to watch the sky — which was incredibly clear — and look for shooting stars and satellites. We had gone out two consecutive nights before that to do the same thing.

That night, we had already seen several shooting stars and two satellites when we spotted a third. It was a very faint, distant white light, traveling south to west (I think) very high up in the sky — like a dim moving star. At first, the light traveled at a steady straight pace, acting like a normal satellite. Then suddenly, after about ten seconds, it veered north, traveling VERY fast (It just took off). It traveled north for about five seconds, then veered west again and proceeded at its normal steady pace for about another ten seconds. Afterwards, once again, it suddenly veered north, moving very fast, repeating the same pattern. After about five seconds it veered west and then disappeared after a few seconds (or I lost track of it).

While moving west, the light seemed to move like a typical satellite. But twice it changed directions toward the north, extremely quickly, moving in a neat zigzag (though it was less of a Z formation and more like a step). The first time it veered, I yelped and sat up (I was laying down flat on a lawn chair, looking straight up). My husband, who has undergraduate and graduate degree in physics, agreed that it moved like a satellite at first, but then changed directions very quickly — too quickly in his opinion to be a satellite. He’s a bit of a skeptic but he agreed that it was a rather weird sight.

We’re both certain it wasn’t a plane. We’re not experts but love to watch the night sky, and often have contests to see who can spot the most satellites. I also often check my sightings against the NOAA page to see if they match. I didn’t in this case, because we were in Italy, in the middle of nowhere, with no Internet. At any rate, it definitely looked like a satellite despite the fact that it changed trajectories fast.

I’m not an expert but it certainly was an eye-popping site. Looked like a satellite but moved like nothing I’ve seen before.

Large moon like object over Italian Dolomites

I have recently returned from a skiing holiday in Italy with my school. Whilst we were there a large almost circular object was in the sky from when we arrived at 8 in the morning until 5 in the evening on around four different days, three consecutive and one the day after a one day gap.

When I saw the object for the first time I mistook it for the moon, but I soon realized I was wrong as the moon was in the sky at the same time as the object. I also checked if it was the sun but it wasn't. The object was almost a full circle but there seemed to be a small chunk missing from its bottom. The object looked to be about half the size of the moon which was visible at the time and was slightly bluer/grayer than the moon itself. As i have said earlier, for the first three days of the holiday the object was visible to the south but did not appear the next day and was visible the day after that to the east, but was considerable paler than before and blended in with the sky much more easily. As we were staying at a very busy ski resort many people from outside our school witnessed this too and an American man showed us a photo of the object which he had taken on his digital camera which when zoomed in looked as though there were hundreds of brightly lit windows on it.

Eventually, towards the end of the holiday the object was no longer visible, but my friends and I have many photos of it. One friend of mine has a zoomed in movie of the object in which the object seems to revolve very slowly. Another video taken, in the evening shows there to be about 4-6 small illuminated dots circling the object at what looks to be high speed.

A video I have taken, this time not with the object in the frame shows three car sized disks slowly moving over trees in a circular fashion, (they were moving in a circular formation and circling like a carousel). As these disks were flying only a few feet over the trees I managed to estimate they were about the size of a large car (20x20 feet). These disks are very clear and seemed to be slightly reflective. Also gray/black lines are visible on the beneath of the disks. While I was filming I did not notice these disks even though they appear to be flying slowly at around 40mph and were within about 200 feet of me at the time and first noticed them while I played them back on the computer. I assure you that these are not aircraft or light specs because you cannot hear the object on the video and there is a reasonable amount of detail on the disks as my camera is 10mp. Also, I don't know If this has anything to do with the disks or not but on the day I filmed this, everyone I knew , including myself who had taken a camera or mobile phone with them skiing that day had problems with them. For example, my camera wouldn't always tern on or off when I wanted it too and sometimes the zoom had a mind of its own.

If you could advise me what to do with these videos I would be very grateful.

Italian UFO

Whilst on a school Skiing trip in Trento, Italy, myself, 8 other pupils, a skiing instructor and locals witnessed a ufo. At the time we were skiing down mount Alpamis and had just reached th bottom of the mountain when a fellow student pointed out an aircraft which looked like an American stealth plane.

After a few seconds we realised the plane was travelling too slowly to be an aircraft as it seemed to be blown by the wind. The object was around 0.5 km away from our position at the time. All the students I was with at the time witnessed this, so did a skiing instructor and a few Italians too. It seemed to be black/dark grey, with no lights and was not shiney. I estimate the object was the size of a small aircraft and was triangular with rounded off edges.

The next day our ski instructor was interviewed by the local police who told him it was most probably a kite or balloon, but admitted to him that in the past few monts there had been more than 14 sightings of the same description. It was certainly not a kite as it did not weave around like a normal kite and it was certainly not a balloon as its altitude did not change and was too big.

The objects was at an estimated 400 ft above ground level and left no haze and made no noise, although during the event, a truck behind us was reversing and its sirens were going off.

another sighting at Aviano Air Base Italy

I worked as a civilian employee on Aviano Air force base for two years.

One day while heading home from work, I was near the back entrance/exit to the base and I saw an object that was round and silver orbiting in and out of the clouds over a near by mountain range. It was aproximately 5 miles away over the mountains. The only way to describe the object would be orb like.

It was circling in and out of the clouds like a planet moving around the sun.

I pulled over and watched this object until it disappeared. I did not report this because it was from an air force base.

Arrow or Diamond shaped object observed near Aviano AB, Italy 2 April 2005




I was taking in the day looking over a field from the golf course on Aviano AB, Italy, when suddenly an object appeared to be hovering at approximately 200 feet in the air. I would estimate the distance to be about 2 to 3 miles away, between the base and the town of Pordenone.

The shape was slightly triangular to diamond shaped on top, with a cylindrical extension coming from the bottom. It almost had the appearance of a very rounded, exaggerated arrow. The top portion consisted of distinctly separate tubes or cylindrical elements connected together, and rounded on the ends. The color was off white, like a white car that hadn't been washed in a while.

It seemed to shimmer in the sky like heat waves coming off of a hot road would shimmer. Size wise, it was if I was looking at a traffic cone in the sky. I have no idea how this relates to the actual size of the object in relation to the distance I presumed I was observiting it at, but that is the closest comparison I can make.

I was so amazed by what I saw, and was so intent on capturing as much detail in my mind as possible that I neglected to alert anyone in my group as to what I was witnessing. After what seemdd like 5 to 7 seconds, it simply vanished, and I had not looked away from the object even for a split second.

The day was sunny with near perfect visibility, the temperature was near 60 degrees F.


((ADDENDUM #1 FROM WITNESS))

Dear Mr. Davenport,

Thanks for your quick response. I actually ((athletic activity deleted for anonymity sake)) with someone who works in the tower, and sort of tried to ask in a roundabout way if he had heard of any strange blips on the screen lately, but he said no. I mentioned my sighting to a few folks, and I can understand why so many people are hesitant to report their sightings, and especially those that feel they may have experienced abduction. I must say, it was infuriating and embarrassing at the same time listening to them make jokes about it. I dare say they
would change their tune if they had seen what I had seen.

I read about a very dramatic UFO event here in Aviano which occurred in 1977. Is that the one you are referring to? Supposedly all the power on base got knocked out for about an hour until the craft slowly crept away over the mountains. There were both American and Italian witnesses. I read it in a
big blue book about UFO's and an alleged worldwide governmental cover-up (Goodwin as the author, maybe?). There are some amazing stories in that book. I also read the book about the incident at Bentwaters, and many others on the subject.

I experienced one other sighting which I believe is worth mentioning. Would you like me to describe it in a reply E-mail, or would you like me to submit it on the website again? Also, I would have no problem with being contacted by the retired officer.

Sir, my wife and I are both keenly interested in the UFO phenomenon. What kinds of employment opportunities are available in the field? Thanks!

Sincerely,

((name deleted))

We have received these two event descriptions from Mr. F. M. and his friends and from Mrs. E. that we are glad to submit to your attention (sorry for the bed translation in english)

"On the day 8 March, at the 19.20-19.30, together with other 6 friends we were stopping by the motorway restaurant near Milan, direction Genoa; the sky was clear,

suddenly an enormous bright sphere appears at an altitude of around 5000 mt., west-east direction, in front of the constellation of Orion. The bright sphere slowly stirred, lightening more and more ; the sphere has remained suspended without moving for about one minute, then two airplanes have arrived, one would have passed under it, the other on the side.

The globe first went out and then it comes on again, becoming bigger than before and again it starts moving quickly, to go off then suddenly when one of the two airplanes was passing under it . I had already heard about the "globes of light" and seen the video-tapes of the Ligurian Ufological Center, but I was at the same time captivated and sceptic. Now I am even more intrigued since I have seen with my own eyes this extraordinary event and I am not alone, also my friends and their wives have seen it. We all agree in to say that what we have seen is an ufological phenomenon.

Now we wonder: what will they say those pilots of the airplanes that have surely sighted it? F.M. & c." "I am passionate of UFO, even if have never be so luck to see one. But yesterday evening 8 march around 7.30 p.m., from the balcony of my home I've seen a great brighting star running in the sky; suddenly it went off when two airplanes were arriving near it. Was it a globe of light like those in New Mexico?" E.

A big oval light is moving in diagonal, suddenly changea direction e move in horizontal. After 1 second it vanishes

I was driving in my car, the route was desert. I saw a light on the horizont, over me. It was big as a street lamp (almost three quarter of the full moon). I saw that the oval light was moving in diagonal, so I raised my eyes, thinking that it was a falling stars, but it was bigger, slower and suddenly it changed direction. Instead of in diagonal, it started moving in horizontal, and after a second it vanished. My first reaction was the cry, I was a little scared. The day after, to have a confirm, I asked to my university friends (I'm a doctor in sciences of communication and I'm attending a master of Journalism), and one of them told me that he too, the night before was in a car with a friend, and saw the same thing!

A red blazing light from South to North

Well, I haven't seen a space craft, but I saw a red light over the line of the horizont. It was not a satellite, because satellites are identified by a white light. It was not an airplane, because airplanes have flashing position lights. It was not a meteor: the duration was too long. What could it be?

Two unusual crafts over Milan, Italy

We saw one object, very high in the sky (the sky was clear) so we cannot say the object shape for sure, it seemed to be made of metal (it reflected the sunlight), and moving in a irregular-circular way. once stopped, it divided to release another one similar object. tha latter took a trajectory toward west, and suddenly disappeared, as it moved vertically. the former one headed east and disappeared at the orizon.

voila,nous étions tous 2 , mon père et moi au balcon de notre appartement, il faisait nuit noir et nous avions une vue a 180 degré sur la mer. Et nous appercûmes à l' horizon une boulle ronde, extrèmement lumineuse EN SUSPENTION au dessus de la mer .nous crûmes a une fusée de détresse ,mais elle ne se deplacait guère. Et soudain ,elle parcourrut les 3 quart de notre angle de vue en 2 seconde seulement pour disparaître, c éteindre complètement.Elle etait a facilement 30km de nous et elle a parcouru cette distance en 2 seconde seulement.cela ne peut etre un helicoptère , il ne se deplace pas aussi vite ni un avoin car il ne reste pas sur place cet avion et il n atteindrait jamais cette vitesse.

Shape: Changing
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

Black, changing shape from circular to elliptical, no noise, no lights, moving WNW over Turin.

Watching aircraft approaching Turin airport at approx 21.35 from the balconey of my apartment, as this went from view to my left, I noticed approaching from the WNW from above the alps, what appeared intially to be a black dot, but as I watched, it seemed to changed to a more elliptical shape, at which point it looked head-on like a fighter, but no lights, and still black.

I continued to watch this shape approach, and it continued to change shape, cycling from circular to elliptical, still black, and no lights. It passed almost directly overhead to the right of my apartment, then went from sight over the hill behind my apartment.

It was impossible to judge altitude. Just prior to it going from sight, a BA146 jet approached Turin airport virtually in the opposite direction, guess this was around 4000/5000 ft, heard it's engines etc, but as this went from view, I watched the ufo for another 10/15 secs, completely silent, and no lights, still changing shape.

The only analogy I can draw, is the changing shape of asteroids, as dipicted in say documentaries etc, BUT, outside shape was well defined, not ragged.

It was a very clear evening, with light blue twilight, and the alps were clear as a bell, some 30/40 miles away. I made a page of notes immediately after the sighting, these are available to be faxed, and marked on a map the direction WNW.

luce bianca-giallastra molto splendente ma non accecante.Era Bellissima.

Una palla di luce oscillava sopra il mare e noi a guardarla dalla spiaggia.Erano le ore 01:00 circa di notte, e gurdacaso nel litorale non c'era nessuna coppietta.(la sera la spiaggia e lungo il litorale ci sono molte coppie in macchina appartate).Mi ricordo che sentivo un strano odore nell'aria quasi fosse gomma bruciata o forse erano i falo' spenti tempo addietro nella spiaggia.La luce era bella a vederla, di colore bianco-giallastro, nessun rumore, nessuna scia,nessuna luce lampeggiante,quando a un certo punto vedemmo (eravamo in cinque), una specie di raggio calare in mare, proprio come si vede nei film o in cartoni animati.Sembrava che la luce oscillando sopra il mare stesse compiendo delle rilevazioni, ed era ad una altezza dal mare di circa 50 metri (comunque si perdeva il senso dell'altezza) ed una distanza da noi di circa 200 metri o poco piu. Il bello era che quando cercavamo di avvicinarci ancor di piu' per osservarlo, l'oggetto sembrava allontanarsi di proposito, come se avesse paura di noi.Fu chiaro che, quella luce bellissima, ci teneva d'occhio, ma non si preoccupava piu' di tanto, neanche quando accesi l'accendino, oscillando la fiamma per far qualche forma di comunicazione.Non successe nulla.Dopo circa un oretta, decidemmo di andarcene ognuno a casa nostra, lasciando la luce dove l'avevamo vista.

My mistake of using no filter in fotographing sun eclypse with a digit camera (Casio) resulted in pictures with no shadow onto the sun. A strange cylinder appeared instead,with a diameter many times its height. The cylinder showed a larger and very thin disk as a base. In picture 1 the object was at the S/W of the sun whereas in picture 2 at the South.Time elapsed between pictures was about 12 minutes.Pictures taken the day after under an identical set of conditions showed no strange objects.

luminous and silent cigar flew low in a summer night along the freeway Rome-Ostia

Sorry, but I don't speak english and so I prefer write the description in italian.

L'oggetto, di aspetto allungato e leggermente luminoso, volava (presumibilmente basso) inizialmente a bassa velocità e in modo assolutamente silenzioso, longitudinalmente alla strada che percorrevamo in auto. Dopo alcuni secondi durante i quali abbiamo potuto osservarlo io e mia moglie, ha improvvismante accelerato, sempre senza emettere alcun suono percepibile, raggiungendo in brevissimo tempo la costa laziale (della città di Ostia -RM-) e sparendo così dal nostro punto di osservazione.

((TRANSLATION))

"The object, elongated and faintly luminous, was flying (presumably low) initially at low speed and absolutely silently along the road on which we were driving. After a few seconds during which my wife and I were able to observe it, it suddenly accelerated, still without emitting any perceptible sound, and in very short time reached the Lazial coast (at the city of Ostia) where it disappeared from view."

The Lazial coast is the coast of the Italian region of which Rome is the major city. If you have any need to respond, I would be happy to translate into Italian for you.

catena metallica dove le maglie di ferro erano sostituite da lingue di fuoco incandescente

Italy Casalabate (LE) july 1992 in the evening..

i was 12 years old at that time.. i was on the bitch .. i was walking when the people see this thing: I SPEAK IN ITALIAN LANGUAGE: si trattava DI LINGUE DI FUOCO poste sullo sfondo del mare, all'orizzonte.

erano come cerchi concentrici che si pormavano progressivamente in seguito all'avanzare di queste fiamme in cielo. Riuscivo a distinguere proprio le fiammeche zampillavano avanzando progressivamente da sinistra verso destra (circa nord ovest verso nord-est). Si formarono una specie di intreccio di fiamme. Assomigliavano a una catena metallica dove le maglie di ferro erano sostituite da fuoco incandescente. La loro posizione era approsimativamente molto lontana dalla terra, perchè alcune nuvole che sopraggiunsero poco dopo, coprirono per qualche attimo l'immagine o comunque l'oggetto che vedevamo.

Poi scomparve di colpo tutto. TUTTI I PRESENTI VIDERO LA STESSA COSA MA NON CI DIEDERO ALCUNA IMPORTANZA. VICINO C'è UNA CENTRALE ELETTRICA A CARBONE, MA NON POTEVANO ESSERE FIAMME PROVENIENTI DA Lì. NE SONO CERTO. SI FORMò UNA STRUTTURA SIMILE AD UNA "CATENA" CON MAGLIE DI FUOCO ROSSO VIVO. EBBI LA SENSAZIONE DI VEDERE QUALCOSA DI ANIMATO. IN MOLTI SI IMPRESSIONARONO, I PIù GRANDI SMINUIRONO TUTTO. PRESTO NESSUNO RICORDò PIù NIENTE. E TUTTO SENZA CHE SI PROPAGASSE NESSUN RUMORE: SILENZIO TOTALE SUL LUNGOMARE IN QUEGLI ATTIMI.

Solo un'ultimo dettaglio.. : mentre le maglie infuocate si andavano formando, procedendo da sinistra verso destra, le prime già formate, si andavano estinguendo in modo sconcertatamente simmetrico: sempre da sinistra verso destra.

Ho detto tutto quello che sapevo. All'epoca ero un ragazzino. Adesso ho 22 anni, ma mi è rimasta ancora la curiosità. Non ho mai capito cosa fosse ciò che ho visto.

Hello there , White spheres with bleep sounds I 'll take my time to recall the events as best as I can .

We,my ex where in Italy in my family home ,in our bedroom and we experienced white spheres with sounds ,i felt like energy but cannot be 100% sure of it . Sounds like beep -beep beeep..bep ..beep beeeppp depending on the speed which was sudden movements ,fast like tic tac ).

We experienced this for 3 consecutive nights and those things were entering from the window of our bedroom ,a loud strong wind with noise in ears like we experience in planes whilst descending from high quote .

Those sphere seemed intelligent as one lead all the others and kept the same distance , every day ,as I tried to get closer to them ,to touch them but they moved away naturally throughout the apartment .I didn't feel any kind of treat and we were all sobers of course! My dear grandma was there now dead and my ex Parisian girlfriend that I don't have any more contact and was sick at the time a long term sickness...and I d like not to enter in further detail about it All my family woke up at times the sounds entered the apartment and were so loud that we woke up all of us and wandering, standing and meeting in the corridor whilst stearing at watch other with fear apart of myself,the only guy , which I was fashinated about that wonderful "things".

One night whilst I was asleep my gf tried to woke me up saying that those lights were throwing at us but I don't know why I reassured her , and suggested to go back to sleep,as she tried to woke me up but I remember I didn't want to wake up , don't know why but kind I didn't want to ,not for fear not for interested , just kind of numb .

The following morning she told me all this ,but I don't recall because obviously I was asleep and I'd an information I didn't need to process in my brain ,somehow ,it was a strange feeling ,still now. I have the same vivid sensation ..I didn't need to wake up and that's it ! The last night that they stopped coming into the house was because my ex, quite upset,as she didn't really like all this the third night visibly upset and irritated , she shouted at "them" to go away and she did this whilst angrily jumping out of the bed and vigorously shut the window down ,when we realized with the usual "whispering wind ",again,and again (when they entered and the same when they left the apartment) which indicate the entrance I recall this as kinda dream a bit like a cloud in my memory (1987-88),as well nowadays each time I see and try to speak about it with my older sister and mother (that witnessed it too ) they don't want somehow to talk about it , especially my sister she is still frightened and my mother just keep wondering what was it.

I don't know about my ex ...and if she is still alive ,really .

Then after all these 3 nights we , together with some friend of mine went outside the city s skirt up to the hills (known and recon as "UFO spots") to hunt for those lights in the sky ,and we saw white lights , bigger going in the sky orizzontally several times ,but although they were white ,I don't remember exactly if it was true ,or just an "illusion" post event related at what we experienced few metres or even inches from us ,inside the apartment .Of this I cannot be sure but my friends even nowadays say that we saw the lights..

I have never really told this to anyone apart same friends or occasionally theme relating conversations about this "mystery" whish isn't no more to me as I have seen them few inches away from my body ,so I believe we are not alone and there is much more.

Finally my Italian" poem"ends here but this is REALLY what I have ,we have lived, saw we our eyes and ears ,as far as my mental sanity is concerned this has happened and I would be delighted to know more or share info as I have no fear but no lucrative interest .

I hope my writing makes sense ..I hope to share too .

May the world be a better place! Namaste.

Yours faithfully
