TRINIDAD: Saw a tiny light like a distant star moving very slowly.

went out on the patio at work and sat to take a smoke clear sky with few stars I was facing west. I looked up just gazing in the sky and saw a tiny light like a distant star moving very slowly at first I thought it was a shooting star then I realized it didn't burn out or leave light behind it then it started moving in different directions and moving at great distance very fast then I saw a similar object very far to the left of the first performing the same movement and after a couple minutes the two objects just flew besides each other with same awkward movement then the second object took off west very fast and the first object headed north with the same akward movement and keept dancing around left to right at great distance.

for the record Im a Christian and don't really believe in ufos, but this scenario was hair raising and I forgot to mention right after the second object left my wife and daughter came out and witnessed the first object that was still in the distance and they saw the awkward movement as well. really gald though that I had the opportunity to witness something like this in my lifetime as well as my wife and daughter.

Two objects in the sky which looked like stars, but were moving and eventually dissappeared.

I am located at Tobago Plantations, Lowlands, Trinidad and Tobago. We were outside under the night sky and looking at the stars. I saw these 2 strange stars, towards the east of us. I showed to my husband and daughter and we were all looking at them, he said he had never seen those before. We realised that they were moving. They looked like just big stars. They were brighter than the other stars. We looked at them for about 30 seconds, then they started fading and dissappear.

We always look at the sky and have observed the ISS and other statelites. These however were not like anything I have seen before. My husband cannot explain what they were but is not a believer of aliens etc. Neither do I. We always look for alternative explanations and believe sitings to be hoax. However, I know what I saw and because there were 2 objects, they were so high in the sky and they both faded together. I think before they completely faded their lights went redish. I am left very confused.

Strange glowing diamond-shaped object seen in night sky over Port-Of-Spain,Trinidad and Tobago.

At about approximately 19:27 hrs on the 3/6/2013,I had just left a neighbourhood store, and was speaking to my brother on my cell phone,when something inside me said to look up,and I saw a diamond-shaped object,which could have been at an altitude of about 5,000 feet,proceeding in a north to south trajectory,and emitting an orange glow,which seemed to pulsate. I immediately told my brother what I was seeing over the phone,and I told the owners of the store,a husband and wife, to look up, and they both saw it too. One of their friends who was seated to the front of the store also saw the object.

After about 2-3 minutes ,the orange glow that the object was emitting faded,and I saw quite clearly that the object had a distinctive diamond shape,and appeared solid,and looked white in color. It made no audible sound,neither were there any other lights(navigation/anti-collision),so it definitely was not a conventional aircraft. I, along with the other 3 witnesses h! ad the object under observation as it proceeded through the night sky which was very clear, and it headed in a Southerly direction over the Gulf-Of-Paria,until my view of the object was obscured by some trees on a nearby hillside.

Fireball hovering over Curepe, Trinidad West Indies.

On the 24th December 2012, I stepped out of my car to deliver presents at the home of my father. This was in Curepe, Trinidad West Indies. On exiting I saw a friend looking up to the sky and he stated that he was watching a plane for the past couple of minutes. I looked up and saw a red object resembling a fireball in the Eastern sky. At first I thought it may be remote control plane or Helicopter since it made a dip and disappeared for a while. About a few seconds later it rose and started to ascend travelling in a Westerly direction. It rose very high and eventually got lost in the clouds and moved off very quickly. The object was red and was flashing in the night sky. I recorded a short clip of about a minute where people can be heard in the background asking if it is an airplane.

10 balls of fire floating slowly across the sky. soucouyant or ufo?

Soucouyant or UFO..

Around 1; 30am on the 6th August 2012 me and eight friends {young and old} were playing cards when we saw a ball of fire in the sky. It was about 200 – 400 feet in distance and about the same in height from where I was standing and it seem to flicker as a candle would.

It wasn’t falling or going up in the air, it seemed to be floating across the sky very slowly and suddenly it began to drop and the fire started going out at the same time, then all we cud see is a white odd shaped thing floating to the ground behind some trees.

It was too far for us to go see what it was. Before we could gather our thoughts as to what it was we just saw, another one came from the same direction at the same speed but landed in a different location. After that they kept coming one after another.

We saw 10 of them pass us, all landing in different locations. I was facing east and it was moving in a north to south direction. A friend of mine saw it already, not too long ago. I know this because before the first one went out he said that it would. He said it was a Soucouyant{an old folk tale} but I beg to differ.

I have no logical clue as to what it was but I know it was not normal. It didn’t make a sound and it was too close to mistake it for something normal.

There are two videos we took of it with two different phones. Its dark but you can see the light {not professionally done obviously} I have no intentions of getting famous. I just want some sort of an idea to what it was or what it could be.

Hello, I would like to at least inform you that this occurred in the Caribbean. The object has appeared in the area 3 times in total within 2months April and May. There are two witnesses me and my mother, she saw it first. Describing it as a small doughnut shaped object black looking in color. I told her if she is sure of what she saw it seemed very small, so I asked her maybe if it was high up, she said as high as the vultures, which I assume is far, we have many vultures flying around in the area. About 2weeks later I saw it for myself, as I explained it to her I was like ok I think iam seeing it. We both ran out to observe, it was slightly lower as she said it seemed bigger. It glided very slowly, I decided to tail it on the road and as I did this it sped up. So did I, it eventually turned vertically on its side and began wheeling itself up into the sky until it vanished out of sight. After that it took about 1week to appear later again, each time it appea! red it came earlier at first it was maybe around four then around 2 the last time about 11:35.We remember this one the best, it came out from the sky, this was the first time we saw where it came from. In the direction where it appeared I believe what they call a rainbow cloud is where we saw it coming from. IT came very close to where we were, about 20 feet away where I was able to tell every detail. It was disc shaped and it was not black, just metallic. Up close it spun like a top while still moving and it reflected the colors from all around it, the sky, the car, the roof, everything. I screamed from outside at my dad to get his camera because I refused to move, it bolted straight up into the sky at an incredible speed. Since this last encounter it never returned or at least it doesn’t show itself.

The objects moved with distinct intelligence, hovering when it wanted and changing directions as desired.

It was around 9:00 pm I decided to drive a few minutes away to check if the roadblock was still in effect, since this road is the shorter route to work. While driving I notice a flickering red orb to the left of my vehicle,just behind some trees less than a few meters away. A red flag immediately went off in my mind, since there were no roads parallel to the one I was travelling in.

The orb travelled exactly the speed of my car winding along the roadside as my vehicle had to make a left and a right to follow the path of the road. My vehicle had to stop since the road was still blocked in preparations for repairs.

The objects flew straight past my car following the road and then made a right. I remember being so terrified but curious.

I called one of my friends at the time to stay on the phone with me. The road that the orbs flew into was accessible to me from another path.

The drive took me about 15 minutes all the while I kept searching for signs of the o! rbs. At last I reached an empty field and there above it were two flickering red orbs.

Terrified I sat in my car with my windows down listening for any noises there were none. They just flickered in silence no higher than 20 feet, seemed about half a meter in diameter. All the time I was on the phone with a friend telling her what was happening, eventually my fear and her concerns convinced me to leave.

These events are all true and I am more than willing to take any lie detector test.

I am from Trinidad, ((specialty and level deleted)) school teacher. I believe an investigation needs to be done. But people never report things here for fear of being horrendously ridiculed.

10 fireballs seen flying in a straight line accross Trinidad

I was on my way home after visiting my neighbor about 7 pm when I noticed a bright circular object flying through the sky heading from east to west. The object seemed unusual as it resembled a ball of orange/yellow fire traveling very quickly and gave off no sound. I hurried inside to call my family to observe this “phenomenon” but before they could come outside the object disappeared. Less than 30 seconds later after explaining to them what I had seen, another object of the same description was sighted, followed by several others all moving in a straight light with a 10 second interval between each of them. About 10 of them were sighted. My sister managed to get video footage of the sighting. With zoom the object looked like an orb with rotating lights about its axis as it moved across the sky. We were not afraid, just amazed.

SLOW MOVING OBJECTS IN THE NIGHT SKY, NEW YEARS 2011

While enjoying the Fire Works at my home with my wife around midnight New Years, coming from the north I noticed what seemed to be a flare in the sky. At first I thought that a flare got caught in some kind of wind current and was moving in a southbound direction.

However, I found that the flare was not extinguishing and seemed to be winking periodically. Then, all of a sudden a next one appeared slightly more north easterly and vectored to intersect the first one, which just disappeared.

At this time I am wondering if this is some kind of balloon with a flare attached. The fireworks somewhat stopped but this thing began to change direction and even slow, and then rapidly turn east, then slow again.

It was only when the object paused (10 sec)right in front of my house (about 200ft up)I suddenly realized that this was not a flare because its form became visible and I was looking at what could only be described as a glowing red ball but the light was moving through out the body of the ball.

My wife and I observed this thing until it flew out of sight changing direction often. AT SLOW SPEED!

I saw about 5 - 6 lights in a circle small but very bright moving a little slow over a agricultural area in my country close to the forested area. There was a like humming noise but different, the air was still and place was cold the sky was clear and I could see the stars. I could only see the lights but when it moved a past where I was hiding I could see the back of the object. It looked like a satellite dish used to pick up state-light television with the poles still attached where the lights were and was moving slowly in its sides. The back looked grey/red-brown. The then just moved so fast away is seconds. Was scared out of my pants, still I am. First gighting and I dont go around looking for these things.

Round, white sphere, moving at incredible speed, stopping and moving at right angles.

My wife and i were lying by the swimming pool. I was looking up into the blue sky, and i saw what i thought was a white bird, at high level, but it was round in shape and the sun was reflecting at the back of it. It is difficult to judge the height, and the size of the object.

I would have thought that it may have been a ballon or similar, except it moved at incredibaly high speed. It stopped for a few seconds, then moved off at right angles, stopped again, then moved back in the opposite direction, again at incredible speed. It then moved out of view, and we lost sight of it in the clouds.

It was a while back, at Christmas time and I was young.

It had only been dark for a couple of hours when something crashed in a field across the road from my grandmothers house. It started a fire, not a huge one, but bright greenish blue. Anyhow, my father went over and came back and talked with my mother and then took off into town to I guess get help. While we waited the fire had gone out.

My father came back with the local constable and they walked around the site. We didn't go over there as my father had said no. A little later on another guy came up and it was then my father came back over. We all asked questions but he didn't seem to know anything. I do know he stayed up late talking to my mother.

I guess he had gone back over there while we were sleeping because the next morning he had a cylinder, kind of like the ones you draw blood with, filled with this green/blue/silver metal looking liquid. He showed us how when you shook it up the liquid vanished. After about 30 secs it reappeared. Pretty neat huh? He said it was all over the ground and hadn't seeped into the ground at all. Later on that day more people showed up. They seemed like workers from the nearby aluminium plant and they had some heavy equipment. They, or other workers stayed for a couple of days at least. The next day a helicopter showed up and some guys in white shirts and ties got out. I kinda lost interest as I was opening Christmas presents and stuff, plus we couldn't go over there or see it from the road anyway. So I'm not sure how many people actaully were over there.

After about 4 days everything over there was over. Me and a friend from down the road went over and the entire area, get this: Had been planted over. You could tell because the grass was a different color! There were still tracks and stuff from vehicles but if you didn't know there was a crash and fire there you would never know it.

Wondering what happened to the container of liquid? It only seemed to last about two weeks. It still dissapeared when shook but the more you did it the less would reappear.
