I saw 5 uaps in the sky

At first, I was looking at the stars, since about 30 minutes earlier I had seen an object moving very fast, very close to an old star. It moved so quickly that I didn’t manage to record it. A few minutes later, I went back to my rooftop and just kept watching the stars, until I saw two objects in front of me. They were at a somewhat distant range. At first, I thought they were pigeons, since these objects didn’t have or emit any lights. I was in shock. About a minute later, I started recording, and right above me, around five of these objects flew over me at a very high speed. I only managed to record four of them. They were moving in a scattered way — they had no clear direction and weren’t flying in a group. Some were moving horizontally and others vertically. I was really scared because I had never seen anything like that before. Without the camera, I could clearly see those objects — they had a brown or bronze color. It was incredible

3 am, the light in the sky made a 90° turn.

I went to work in the field at 3 am, I looked at the sky and saw a white light moving from east to west, I thought it was a meteorite or a satellite until it suddenly made a 90° turn to the south and accelerated at such a high speed that it disappeared very, very quickly at the speed of a blink, it is an area far from the population and it made no noise to think it was a drone or some plane.

Original report in Spanish:

3 am, la luz en el cielo dió una sin giro de 90°



Fui a trabajar al campo a las 3 am, mire al cielo y ví una luz blanca que se movía de este a oeste, pensé que era un meteorito o un satélite hasta que de la nada dió un giro de 90° hacia en sur y aceleró a una gran velocidad que desapareció muy pero muy rápido a la velocidad de un parpadeo, es una zona alejada de la población y no hizo ningún ruido para pensar que era un dron o algun avión

I was on the balcony of the house playing with the child when suddenly in the sky in the distance I saw a little black dot moving from west to east. It caught my attention because it was not a bird and it was moving very constantly, very serenely. Then I went to get the camera. It took me 2 minutes to return with the camera and turn it on and focus. The object had already moved quite a bit in the sky. It was now to the east, so it was difficult for me to focus with the camera and when I was able to focus I still didn't see well, until I saw the three photos I was able to take on the computer.

Location: Lima (Peru), , Peru

Shape: Rectangle


Lima-Miraflores: Silent floating box-shaped metal object not very much bigger than a moving box with black and blue stripes.

It was in 2016 in Lima, Peru in the Miraflores neighborhood. Corner of Avenida Benavides/Ramirez Gaston. I was standing at the crosswalk traffic light waiting to cross the street.

About 60 meters up, I noticed a box-shaped, metal object not much bigger than a moving box with black and blue stripes. It was coming from the direction of Avenida La Merced. It floated completely silently and in a straight line at low speed (about 10km/h) towards Ramirez Gaston (the continuation of La Merced street).

Poles stuck out on each of the four sides. There was no smoke, no lights, nothing reflective, no noise of any kind. No propeller, no jets. The object was too small to have occupants. Some passersby around me also saw it and pointed it out to me. No one had an explanation. When the light turned green, I crossed the street and the object was already too far away.

Occurred: 2013-11-10 16:30 Local

Duration: 4-5 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Lima (Peru), , Peru

Shape: Formation


Enlarged horizontal dots flying at high altitude over Lima, Peru skyes for about 5 minutes

Date: November 10, 2013
Time: around 4:30 pm
Angle: 45 to 60 deg from normal
Altitude: 300 ft over sea level
Facing: North East
Condition: Sunny Crystal clear sky, no clouds and the moon could be seen

First I saw a white sort of enlarged horizontal dot travelling from SE to NW direction, which I thought did not have the physical characteristics of a commercial or military jet aircraft, nor it wasn’t on the regular path to Lima’s International airport approach only a few miles west from my standing point, nor an enroute plane to other destination due to the altitude it seemed flying on was lower.

The whole thing didn’t last more than 1 minute as a building on my way obstructed the sight. I expected for the object to pass the building, as an aircraft should, but it just didn’t happen or it may have changed direction staying on a North bound course where this building didn’t let me see any more of it. I came inside the house wondering and commented the sighting with family members.

As I kept wondering, not over five minutes later I went outside again and started staring at the same point I saw this for the first time, the I turned myself slightly to my right and saw about four or five objects of similar characteristics as the one described above travelling in a sort of formation from SE to NW direction, 2 above and 2 to 3 others below. Only this time the sighting took almost 4 to 5 minutes to reach the same building and again by the time they reached the building, they just didn’t pass it and the objects disappeared.

I stayed at the same spot for over 30 minutes looking to see if any of these objects appeared, but they didn’t. On the mean time I got to see two jet aircraft (both seemed an airbus 320 or boeing 737) flying on approach to Lima’s International airport, a low altitude flying police helicopter and a balloon that may have been lost by a kid. This provided me the altitude, speed, and flying pattern perspective of this type of flying devices and what I saw differed totally.

I’m 41 years old with an engineering background, have participated in sale and installation of Navaids systems for civil aviation such as a complete Northrop Grumman ASR 12 primary and secondary radar system, ILS, VOR, DME’s, etc. I have travelled abroad and attended airshows all over, had the opportunity to see acrobatic formations made by such prestigious teams as the Blue Angels, and familiarized with almost all of the civil aircraft currently in service from small Cessnas to A380 which I recently saw approach in Miami, and this is something that really differed from any other thing sawn before in my life.

Blue bright lights

On early April I have taken a trip to the northern part of Peru; I was photographing the deserts where oasis vegetation grows with no water or irrigation at all.

Lately, I pull the images files from that trip, one of them caught my attention, there was a bright spot in the blue skies, so I tried to edit it the picture and as a result definitely it is a UFO, very strange in its shape but the picture can show clearly the basic form of such object. The edited one I keep within my images files. The pictured object was much closer than three other, can be seen in the picture too but as curved shapes in white bright colors.

Since I was taking picture from the van, I do not know if other people noticed about those strange objects.

What can be seen clearly is two large spot lights below other illuminated items.

Moving red and orange colored glowing ball or vertical cylinder

Talking on the phone on my roof due to poor cell phone service, I looked up to the left where there was a bright red and orange glowing ball or vertical rectangle-type object. The district was firing off fireworks, but what I saw was NOT part of the show and was alone, moving on its own. Where I could see the fireworks, the object was to my back, in a total opposite direction. It moved slowly to the right and when I ran downstairs to get my camera to film a video, I returned with my girlfriend to the roof but the object was no longer visible. I waited on the roof for another 20 minutes hoping that the object would return, but no sign of it so far.

El día de ayer a las 22.10 un objeto con forma de gusano (se encogia mientras avanzaba en el aire) se acercó hasta la puerta de ingreso de producto de la empresa pesquera donde trabajo. Al principio pense que era algun proveedor o quizá hasta los dueños, abri las puertas y me acerque a la zona de estacionamiento cuando vi a ese objeto con forma de gusano flotando muy cerca del piso, muy grande, silencioso, brillante y con movimientos extraños. Me quede observando el objeto y rápidamente se fue. Le avise al vigilante de la planta y no me creyó. Pasados unos 10 minutos y estando dentro de la sala de cámaras de seguridad este, volvió a aparecer repentinamente y en la misma zona donde nos vimos. Todo quedó grabado en las cámaras de seguridad de la empresa.

I saw a UFO flying around the Peruvian sky at night.

I was traveling down the Ucayali River in Peru. I was on a barge with hammocks strung up as beds. I was lying in my hammock one night- and I looked out of the window. The stars were very bright and beautiful. I saw one light move; I thought it was a plane or satellite. So I kept watching it. Suddenly, it jolted back. It started travelling across the sky; flying up and down, and side to side; diagonally as well.

I observed pictures on Dec. 15, 2005 from a co-worker of mine of a clay pot he recovered in Peru South America several years ago,while digging for atifacts.

On the outside of the pot there was a picture, of what appeared to be an alien space craft. I observed the picture as being an horizontal oval shaped object, containing what appeared to be 6 round windows on the front.

I further observed two slanted landing gear with rounded pads on the bottom. Also portrayed were what appeared to be flames coming out of the bottom of the craft. I have three pictures of the object clearly seen on the clay pot and I live in Ft Myers, Fl. I further attest that the above statement is true.

Bright and Big light in Arequipa Peru

Bright and big light on top of Pichu Pichu Volcano 4,800 meters above sea level, no airports near by no roads of course remote andean region in Peru South America, I had my digital camera, have several pictures and a video in MPG format. The light was flashing/moving up and down as if someone was holding a giant mirror against the sun on top of the volcano.



NUFORC Note:

Witness provides high-quality video tape of the glinting from the top of a distant mountain. We do not know what caused the phenomenon, but we do observe that the Sun is almost directly behind the photographer, which explain the the bright reflection from the mountain top, if the object is a three-corner reflector. It may be a device for accurately measuring the seismic changes in the movement of the volcano with light beams, although that is purely a guess on our part. PD

go to: http://www.24horas.com.pe/data/videos/reportajes/repor020203_2.php for a 15 min report that aired last Feb 2nd on Peruvian TV Panameracana television Channel 5. It's about a series of ongoin dramatic ufo events in northern Peru. There are many witnesses, ufo videos, etc.

It's in Spanish and you need real Player.

Anthony Choy tried to research these events that became more pronounced since Oct 2001 in an area where the Vicus culture flourished and sightings and apparitions have taken place on and off at least for decades if not centuries. The myth of "flying men or gods" depicted in some Vicus religious artwork is interesting.

Yours truly, ((name deleted))

Ball-form, white, partially transparent object, diam. ca 10 m, two legs ahead

May 27 2001, approximately at noon, I took part in the routine flight organized for tourist over the area of Nasca.

After coming home to Prague, I browsed the pictures I did there. On one of the pictures, I sight an ball-form object the origin of which I cannot understand. On one side it is rather transparent, on the other side it makes deep shadow. Moreover, the elliptic shape of shadow seems be not in full correspondence with the shape of the object.

I took the photo of the object unwittingly; I didn't mention it that time. Thus, I didn't observe it directly by my eyes. Therefore, only from the context of the surrounding environment (bushes, hills on the background) I value the dimension of the object as 10 & 20 meters.

Of course, I scaned accessible to me video records of other participants of the flight. On one of them, I found the object. It was taken roughly 50 seconds later (the aircraft flight a circle). The object has divided into two pieces and was rising up.

Duration:
No of observers: 4

Location: Peru, , Peru

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Left a trail

Video and digital photo show a disk type object about 100 feet diameter.

The UFOS were detected a couple of months after the event while examining digital photos and digital video taken during a flight to an unexplored area in the jungle East of the Andes mountains in what is known as the Vilcabamba range of mountains. The object seems to have between 30 and 40 meters (or more) diameter, and was following our airplane (Piper Cheyenne III) in such a way that we did not see it during the flight. It camouflaged itself pretty well it seems.

Maybe "they" wanted us to record them in our pictures, a great mystery. You are invited to come to our office in Lima to see the video and a 1280x1024 digital photo where the craft appears. Or you can make us an offer to have us email the proofs to you. The object left a trail that could be caused by extreme humidity in that hour of day when it was raining (seen only in the video).

We will request copies of the photos. PD

Occurred: 2000-05-22 19:00 Local
Reported: 2000-11-20 00:00 Pacific
Duration: one hour
No of observers: 15

Location: High Andean Plateau of Marcahuasi, Peru, , Peru

Shape: Sphere


14 - 16 high flying luminous spheres in the Peruvian Andes witnessed by 15 hikers from the USA.

We were a group of hikers camping at 14,000' on the Marcahuasi Plateau located northeast of Lima on the eastern ridge of the Andes. Just after the sun set, around 7:00 pm we witnessed 14 to 16 luminous sphere like objects in the sky for one hour. They would slowly fly across the sky, change direction and then reappear in another portion of the sky altogether. At one point a sphere "flashed" us appearing to have increaded tremendously in size briefly in an intense flash. We were able to clearly discern these objects from other meteor "shooting stars" that evening which were occasionally present as well. This event took place in a clear night sky without the moon, which rose hours later. The "flash" occured when I directed a question internally whether this could be my imagination. A few of the individuals in the group had other sightings but most of the group had never seen anything like this before. It was an entirely fascinating and extraordinary event which covered three days in total as one person in the grop had a contact experience the night before in the high andean village we stayed at before the ascent to the plateau, and again the following two nights on the mountain. We later learned of another group near Mt. Adams (Washington State), witnessed by reporter Michael Miley of UFO Magazine, had a sighting similar to our on the following days of May 23 and 24. Both sightings were witnessed by numerous individuals.

Colorfull flashing flat sphere-disc above Lima-Peru (march/2000).

A few years ago, me and a girlfriend saw an object that was shaped like a semi-flat disc. It was located at about 300 meters above and in front of us. It had lots of different lights below it, its light flashed, but i dont remember if the colors switched to different or stayed the same, but they flashed forming patrons. Once every few seconds, the lights would go off for a very small fraction of time, and in that instant we could see the silouet(shape)of the object, as a dark shape against a less dark sky, it lasted for about 4-5 minutes, after that the object became smaller and smaller until it dissapeared.

Reported: 1997-07-20 00:00 Pacific
Duration: few seconds
No of observers: 2

Location: Urubamba (outside Cusco, Peruvian Andes) (Peru), , Peru

Shape: Light


Summary : A fast moving "body of Light" sweeps over us as we star watch in the Sacred Valley of the Incas outside Cusco Peru at an elevation of l0,000' The night was clear, cold and very dark (no moon). The "Light" was seen coming from the southwest directly over a 600' peak just in front of us. It was bright white and seemed to have mass, but no structure was perceived by the two witnesses. It was approximately a half mile in width and moving at a "very high speed" ...

I had been asked to build a "walking meditation garden maze" for a large resort in the Peruvian Andes. Upon completion of the maze I invited the owners and a friend for a small ceremony to dedicate the Classical 7-Path Labyrinth to the healing and well being of our planet Earth. It was the last few days of late May around 9pm in the evening on a star lit clear night, no moon. Following the short dedication ceremony the four of us stood watching the heavens, Maria del Carmen and I faced the sacred mountain "Yawar Maki" which juts up from the Urubamba river a few feet from where we stood. She and I were looking up over the peak at the Southern Cross when suddenly a "large body" of fast moving light sped directly over our heads. In fact both of us almost fell backwards as we followed the light with our heads craning backwards. Across the sky overhead it moved and then just disappeared into thin air. The two men were looking in the other direction and by the time they hea! rd our squeals and looked in our direction, the body of light has completely disappeared. The entire event took not more than a matter of seconds. This was neither airplane or lightning, this we know, what is was through is still to be known. The creation of this particular Labyrinth is as a healing center for tourists and pilgrims visiting the ancient sacred sites in this area of the Andes. In myth and folklore, the Labyrinth traditions tell of many unusual stories such as that of Scandinavian sailors who would use the labyrinth in a form of sympathetic magic to control the weather. It is also energetically linked with the seven major energy centers in the bodies auric field, the tones on the scale, and the 7 primary colors in the rainbow. Unusual phenomena has been recounted in relation to the labyrinth for the past 3,500 years and in fact the act of walking a labyrinth still seems to draw transformative events to the practitioner. I and maria del Carman both feel thi! s ususal "event" and our walking and dedication somehow are united. I have never seen a UFO but I came away from this experience feeling like I had seen something I could not explain by conventional terms. Both Maria del Carmen and her husband, a famous British journalist recounted several sightings during the past year and a half they've owned the hotel and lived in this part of the Andes. They tell me these type stories are common and knowledge of "craft" is widespread and seen by many. In fact, a lake just over the peak we had stood in front of called "Chequerec" is known locally as the "UFO Lake" and for the past l00 years (and probably more) stories have been told of craft coming and going from the lake and tales of "little green men" etc. After this experience I asked around to the native people, the Quechua. Everyone had a story which was usually told in a matter of fact demeanor as something as natural as the sun coming up each day. Another Indian friend that I ! would describe as being educated, soft-spoken and extremely low profile, and who'd lived many years at the ancient site of Machu Picchu recounted a story. He claims to have seen up to l7 "ships" on one night last November 1996. As he told it, he was guiding an American woman into the sacred ruins late after midnight (which is allowed with special permission) when they both witnessed a litany of unusual "lights" above and around the old city. He said he's not seen anything of this nature in the past seven years, and believed that they'd (the star people) returned. This site has been known in local lore to be a place of intense UFO phenomena throughout the ages.

Three light blue/green objects, diamond shaped, triangle pattern over the Andes in Peru, move extremely fast. 5 witnesses

Back in 1988 on the Andes in Peru at approximately 10 pm we observed 3 diamond shaped objects above a mountain very far away from our location, however they seemed pretty large considering the distance where the mountain was. The objects were light blue/green and formed a triangle pattern.

My friend’s father had a telescope and I closed on one of them. I saw a large diamond with the color mentioned before, but it had bright lights in the middle. All 5 witnesses were able to see the same thing in the telescope before the objects moved extremely fast on a horizontal and vertical mode to then disappear instantly at speeds that I had never seen before.

It lasted for around 2 minutes.

I’ve talked about this, only three times in my life. This is the fourth.

A brilliant, white,silent circular light moving above us from southwest to the northeast.

My wife an I were at the door of our house in a suburb an all of a sudden we did see a very bright, intense,white light flying above us toward the northeast at about 800 feet or so. My brother in law saw it as well from another location in the vicinity. We are sure was not an airplane nor an elicopter. We really never knew what it was. What it call our attention is that it was cpmpletely silent.

Shape: Sphere


Gray sphere hovering over our backyard at an altitude of 3000 feet.

I was 13 and living in Lima, Peru at the time playing in our backyard with my 2 brothers when we saw a large gray sphere hovering over our backyard. We quickly went upstairs to the roof to observe it better. The object was perfectly spherical and solid, it was gray in color like made of some kind of metal but had no trace of rivets, bolts, or joints. The object stood stationary above at an altitude of about 2000 to 3000 feet. It wasn't drifting with the wind nor exhibiting any vertical or horizontal movement, it was perfectly still. Initially I thought it may have been a balloon but it did not behave like a balloon nor did it have the telltale signs that balloons have, it seemed solid and was perfectly smooth and spherical, it had no movement whatsoever and did not move with the wind. The object had no windows, no engines, no lights. It was almost like "parked" above us.

After about 30 minutes, the object started ascending in a perfectly vertical direction at a very high speed until it was impossible to see. From the time it started moving until we couldn't see it any longer. I estimate that from the time it started ascending until we lost sight of the object it must have been less than 20 seconds.

It hovered over the park for several minutes then suddenly took off at incredible speed.

I have never told this to anyone until now except for close relatives. This happened when I was 14 years old, but I remember it vividly to this day.

I was visiting my aunt and uncle who lived in Lima, Peru in South America at the time. I had gone up to the balcony of their home. Across the street was a large park about 4 city square blocks. I had climbed on to the balcony to look down at the park to see if I could spot any of my friends playing there.

As I did so I saw that everyone in the park, and there were many people, were all looking up, so I looked up as well. As I did I was so startled that at first I thought the sun was crashing down upon us, but in that split second I realized that what I was looking at was stationary and was not going to crash on top of us. Then I realized I was seeing a circular material object that was very huge and bright white. It was hovoring over the trees at very close range. It was at least the size of the park itself.

It cast a huge shadow over the park. It hovered there for what seemed several minutes. It seemed to be spinning quite rapidly.

Then, suddenly out of the blue it took off at incredible speed and disappeared. I was stunned I was not sure what I had just witnessed, but eventually I came to the realization that it must have been some type of space ship.

When I looked back down at the park no one was looking up, and everyone seemed to be going about there business as if nothing had happened. This was something that impressed me a great deal, because at that age I was hardly interested in UFO's or any such thing. I was a typical 14 year old kid. UFO's were the last thing on my mind. It left me completely dumb founded for quite some time.

Shape: Cylinder


Summary : watched a cylindrical, clearly metallic, resembling shiny aluminum, somewhat rounded object hovering on nearby hills, moving pendulum-like in and out of sight over top of the hill, at about 2000 feet at most. It suddenly dissapeared with a very fast vertical movement. no sound heard.

About one or two in the evening, in broad daylight, no clouds, object was seen hovering nearby mountains, not above but in front and then behind of the top, particularly strange movements, pendulum-like, fast and then slow. Cylindrical shape, clearly metallical and shiny like polished aluminum, no lights, perceived some rounded form in the middle, perhaps ring shapes on the top and bottom, probably sizable object of about 20 ft. long and 6 ft. wide. No balloon, aircraft or any other object in the sky. Was observed on rural area of Peru. Object clearly seen in front of mountain background, no sound heard. Object aparently disappeared but witnesses perceived very fast movement upward, in a northern direction. Event happened when I was about 12 or 13 years old, in 1966 or 1967, maybe thirty years ago. I just want to know if this kind of object or similar sighting exists in your archives or database. It not only was real, is a vivid image that for 30 years I been wondering about. I don't want explanations, I am not an ufo believer, but I have seen what I have seen, nobody believes it really, but for me this is not a matter of faith, is just something I saw as a boy and can't find no explanation for it. Please let me know about it, specially this rather strange object, diffrerent from the classic ufo's that everybody knows.
