Metallic white object gliding across clean sky with no sound or visible trail

Around 12pm I met with my friend to get a coffee. We were chilling in the middle of a giant house yard surrounded by four 9-stories apartment buildings.
There was 2 instances of seeing the same object in this sightseeing with a gap of 30-40 seconds. I observed a metallic white colored object with no distinctive shape. As soon as I noticed it I immediately told my friend to look and he witnessed the same thing.

From my perspective it was on the helicopter flight altitude and had the size of a SUV or might be bigger. My best description is a sphere morphed with cross shaped object. It also appears as it had a one wing shaped like a shark fin. It flew between house apartments across the clean sky in a distance for a 15 seconds period. It was moving steadily in one direction both times. As fast as commercial plane with no visible signs of propulsion system nor the sound. Second time I observed it when it passed a nearest building that blocked my view of this object. It appeared much more further and only for brief 5 seconds but enough to again clearly see it with no visible changes to its shape, color or sound. As it drifts away behind 16-stories building in a half kilometer from my point of view it left my sight for the last time.

Worth noting that Ukraine closed its airspace when the war started. Commercial flights on any aircraft is strictly prohibited. Only exception is the military.

It is quite common to see military fighter jets, planes, helicopters and drones operating in the skies but tomorrow it was something else, nothing like I have ever witnessed.

I apologize for any grammatical mistakes, misspelling or poor wording.

The sighting is on a video uploaded to the X Platform, and then shown in an article in Business Insider

Please look at the link to the Video below. Watch the part where the drone films the Bradley pick up the soldiers. The UAP zooms in from the upper right at a high speed and makes a b-line for the Bradley. Then it appears to head right into the line of fire towards the Russians soldiers at the wood line. The orb is also visible in the beginning of the video as well. It comes low across the field from right to left at a high rate of speed.

A line of lights stable at zenith

We live in a private house in a countryside, I went outside at about 7:30 pm, it was a windy (15 m/sec maybe) cloudless night, I stayed for a while watching the stars, Syrus was low and almost at the South then, when watching ahead something strange caught my attention: it was a line of very small dull (much duller than stars) but distinct lights approximately 15 lights close to one another in exact line and very stable, the color couldn't be seen clearly but I feel it to be red (I'm artist, so I am trained in guessing color shades). Visually it had the length of moon disk and directed from South-east to North-west. Maybe I would not notice them, they caught my attention because they were turning on one by one at the moment. This happened all the period of observation: all the 15 lights appear one by one, then all at once disappear, it was a pause for a couple of seconds, then they appear again, one by one. We don't have electric lines or wet branches there that could reflect light from below, it cannot be helicopter or drone no such vehicle can be that stable in such wind. The dullness and clearness of lights gave feeling of big hight- from 10 to 100 miles, hard to say. I felt puzzled and didn't believe my eyes, at the same time I remember some heavy feeling in heart, and next couple of weeks when outside at night I mechanically raised my eyes to the spot.

Z - shaped formation of UFOs

My friends and I were driving down the country road and all of the sudden we look up and see a Z - shaped formation of UFO hovering over the city of Kyiv flying horizontally. The UFOs were moving extremely fast and instantly changed direction 180 degrees. My best friend who is an Adolf in the Air Force couldn’t even distinguish what it was.

It's kind of hard in Ukraine right now, and especially for kids, and it would be super great to get a short response from you.

Good afternoon, we are from Ukraine where there is a war going on and my son is very interested in UFO and found on one of the youtube videos an object that is only visible at 0.25 speed and is very difficult to catch on video even for an adult.

Honestly, I think it's an understandable phenomenon or a faked image, but he would really like it to be true :). I ask you to look at the photo and video, and write back something neutral like "we got it processed, thank you Sir Artem"

It's kind of hard here in Ukraine right now, and especially for kids, and it would be super great to get a detailed response from you.

I saw a UFO only in a photo from the scene

I took a photo of a cloud in the sky on my mobile phone. Then, when looking at the photographs, I saw some strange moving object. I took photos in continuous shooting mode, that is, between F1 and F2 0.5-0.7 seconds. It seemed to me that during this time the object moved 300 meters, maybe even more. In the photo from the far left corner F1 to the far right F 2. On the ground it is from south to north, maybe a little southeast - northwest. The photo was taken on September 21, 2017 at approximately 16:30 in the Trostyanetsky district of the Sumy region.

NUFORC Note:

Possibly related to the ongoing conflict?

UFO in Odessa, Ukraine, on February 14, 2014 - strange disk-shaped object hovering at a fixed point in the sky.

I was awakened by the words of my wife: My dear i see UFO!!!

I immediately woke up and ran to the window. I could not believe my eyes because me & my wife saw a big & strange disk-shaped object hovering at a fixed point in the sky. It was approximately at 6:14 AM GMT+2. Odessa has an international airport and i often saw many different aircrafts in the sky from my window, but it was something different.

The first thing i did was taking my old Nokia 6700 Gold with 5 megapixel camera and began recording but the quality of the video was very poor and there was nothing in sight. I quickly began looking for my Canon EOS 600D with EFS 18-200mm 0.45m/1.5ft and found it at at 6:18 AM GMT+2! It was too dark and I could not catch the focus for a long time. I started taking pictures of the object and decided to make a video at dawn for a better quality. The best photos are included in 00:30-00:31 range of the video uploaded by me on YouTube. At dawn i also tried to record the video & was surprised, because when i started doing it the object became dissolve in the sky and a cloud began to form around him. You can hear a very strange sound in the video when it's happened. I will say more, a strange sound was during all this time. If you look closely you can see how he disappears and after that all around subsides.

Location: Odessa, Ukraine. Co-ordinates: 46.454191, 30.758670 Date: February 14, 2014 Time: 6:14 - 6:34 AM, GMT+2 Object distance: 1-2 km Object form: disc-shaped Object size: 400-700 m Wind: no wind Cloudiness: almost clear sky, only a few clouds around Digital Camera: Canon EOS 600D with EFS 18-200mm 0.45m/1.5ft Video Name: Molniya Pictures - UFO in Odessa, Ukraine on February 14, 2014 YouTube Link:

Blue flash lights over the top of the Kiev planetarium building

I've been to Kiev for several days. On the 9th of November around the midday I was going along the street and accidentally my attention was riveted on the top of the building of the Kiev planetarium.

I saw very bright blue light flashes moving around the roof for maybe 50-60 seconds and then they just flew away up to the sky.I was so stunned that even couldn't move. I noticed several people around who saw that too as they were also comletely shocked.

BLUE DOTS OVER KYIV PLANETARIUM, UKRAINE, KYIV

On the 9th of November i and my wife observed strange objects above the building of Kyiv Planetarium. Approximately it happened in the 12 noon. While the sun was shining brightly, for the several seconds a strange object was hanging in one place and wasn’t moving. I was so surprised that even couldn’t say anything but my wife was staring at the dark blue rounds. They seemed to be made of plasma. They looked like plasma bubbles. After several seconds it disappeared.

red light over Kiev (Ukraine)

Dear ufologists!

On September, 11th, 2009 at 21:55 local time I left on a balcony of our apartment (the second floor). What for left on a balcony - I do not know. Has looked at the sky. There was a night. In the sky there were stars, the moon was not. Suddenly I have noticed three bright orange points which quickly flied on the sky, one is strict over another. There was then the third. They have formed an enormous triangle and continued to float on the sky from the northeast on the southwest an acute angle back, the basis forward. At once to them as if catching up, the fourth has departed. Fires on shine and brightness were similar to bright stars in the sky, but is brighter also than the orange sated colour. Brightness pulsed, from a red dark point to a white star with an orange aura. When fires reddened, they decreased in sizes, as if гасли. Fires did not change distances among themselves for all time of flight over our house in visibility limits. Their speed ! exceeded speed of the plane. They flied very highly, on sensations, much more above passenger planes.« The triangle », formed by them, was very big, approximately 30 metres at length. The object did not publish any sounds.

Unfortunately, I did not have a possibility to remove on a videocamera this object, but in Youtub I have found a roller with similar object.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXEOi_Bvy38 These objects saw I, my mum and other inhabitants of Kiev. I have written about the supervision on a site of the Ukrainian ufologists with the request if there are still witnesses, to write. Two persons have answered. Here their messages.

1. The Observer lives near to me, objects saw in the same evening and in the same time range. «It was observed 8 шароподобных objects of red-orange colour, the luminescence was like as to constants, without a blinking, height to define difficult.но I think in an interval between 1000 - 3000 metres, moved slowly. A direction of movement from the northeast on the southwest. Sequence following: the first, three (located on tops of an equipotential triangle), three (an arrangement similar), last. It was observed except me by mum and the daddy».

2. "Similar" balls "for the first time observed over Troeshchinoj (area of Kiev), in May, 2009. Two blood-red balls in which centre the yellowish stain (as a flame of a candle from an easy breeze as though will die away flickered again will inflame) have flown by from the east on the West».

Two "mercury" drops the sky above Kiev, Ukraine, in daylight. 11 years ago.

Situation occurred 11 years ago.

Around noon, at the end of the summer I was chatting with my friend using icq messenger. I do not remember exactly why, but i stood up and went to the window of my room and looked outside.

My apartment was at fourth floor of an apartment block with another house directly opposite to it. Portion of the blue sky is clearly visible there with no trees or power lines obstructing the view.

I saw a glint in the sky in my peripheral vision, and looked up. Almost directly above me there were two shapes “orbiting” one another with significant distance. I focused my attention on one of them that was easier to see. It had a shape of a water droplet sitting on a glass. Round if you look from the bellow, and oval squished on the bottom if you look from a side.

It’s material resembled mercury. Perfect mirror without any dirt or scratches. There was something that looked like ripples going through it’s “surface” As if it’s not a solid object. Ripples did not correspond with any outside interference that i could see.

Object had subtle purple haze or glow on its sides that was not constant. I remember that at one moment I could see it, at another - not.

Approximately half a minute into observation, a dark spot approximately one eighth the surface of the object appeared on its side and started spinning around the edge without any pattern with different speed and direction. It had blurred edges and was absolutely black without any lights or reflections. At the time I thought that it “sucked in” the light. It appeared for 5-10 seconds, then disappeared and appeared again.

I switched my attention to the other object, it looked exactly the same, but was harder to see as it was almost directly above my apartment block. I had to move myself halfway outside of the window and look up to see it, which was dangerous for me.

Both objects were below the cloud layer, as remember seeing small white cloud above the object that was easier to observe. I could not figure out the exact distance to the object or object size because there were no clear frame of reference. I can only guess that distance may have been from 500m to 1km. Both objects did not look massive. If I take a guess - around 20 meters in diameter.

They moved in formation, “orbiting” one each other, slowly moving, progressing to the south-west.

After approximately two minutes of observation, first object started disappearing as if it was losing opacity becoming completely transparent in about 10-15 seconds. Second object did the same shortly afterwards.

I looked at the sky for some time afterwards, however there was nothing more to notice.

As a disclaimer: I have no record of hallucinations, drug/alcohol abuse or diagnosed mental illness. And I’m not claiming this event as “alien” encounter. However I can not explain this event with any natural event or technology known to me.

Here you can find my sketch of the object:

This is the location of the event:

At the time, I told about it to my friends, however nobody took it seriously.

This is my first and only public report on this event.

Satellite-like object alters speed and does 90 degree turns as it crossed the sky

Koblevo is a beaachj resort on the Black Sea coast of southern Ukraine. I worked as a Peace Corps volunteer in nearby Nikolayev (Mykolayiv), and a Ukrainian friend of mine and I went to the beach for a weekend. At approximately one AM, as we sat on the beach with a third individual, we saw what we believed to be a satellite moving from southeast to northwest in the sky. In the dark skies away from Ukrainian cities, satellites can easily be seen tracking across the sky. This appeared similar in color and in speed as it crossed the sky, until it began doing 90 degree zig zags and altering its speed several times, occasionally coming to a near stop. It had to have been very high or very far away, but it was obviously very fast and very mysterious. This incident was witnessed by me and two Ukrainian friends/acquaintances.

The most interesting thing is that the object hovering near the chimney of the natural gas boiler room reacted to me when I had already

I am a former aviator/electrical engineer, I have flown a lot (including helicopters), but I have not seen anything like this in the air. Some of my articles in Ukrainian Wikipedia are: "World Energy Consumption", "Business", "Missile Defense", etc. Narration: Late in the evening I went out to the balcony before going to bed (here is the countryside, there is a forest to the horizon and a wide river - the Southern Bug), nothing prevents you from observing the starry sky. This time something seemed unusual - just above the horizon some star too bright for such a low location was twinkling. I took a twenty-fold spotting scope and began to observe. To the left of the chimney of the boiler room (the diameter of the pipe at the top is 2.5 meters, the height is 30 meters) and just above it hung a small (about 70 cm) object in the form of a hemisphere (when I talked about this case in the English Facebook group of UFO lovers, and wrote to some English newspaper (I think the Guardian), I called it a UFO Pivkulya - that is, from the Ukrainian hemisphere). It was a hemisphere with a bulge upwards, with a very bright bottom glowing. The light was cold white, similar to today's LED light, but there were no downward rays. Pivkulya made strange oscillatory movements and probably rotated around its axis at the same time, so sometimes its bright bottom returned to me and from afar (1.2 km) it looked like a twinkling star (I made a GIF animation of how it oscillated and some edited pictures from the balcony of what it looked like - when I bought the first computer). Three minutes later, the UFO quickly turned upside down, went out and immediately moved. At first, it looked like a bundle of translucent cotton candy (which children love) moving through the sky, then when this thing flew closer (at the speed of a cloud floating in the sky, although there was no wind then, and no clouds in the sky either), it already looked like an artificial cloud 2 x 3.5 meters, inside which Pivkulya itself was located. When the object passed the forest and there were 20 meters left to me, I put down the pipe (already a dead zone), got scared and sat down at the front panel of the balcony, but continued to watch from under the railing. A cloud with a hemisphere passed about 15 meters above me (5 meters above the roof), a little at an angle to me, as if so that I could see it. What struck me the most was that the cloud looked up close as if a child had drawn a cloud with a felt-tip pen (I could see its clear outlines), but forgot to sketch it, that is, it was semi-transparent. The color of Pivkuli was dark gray, almost black with a slight metallic sheen (similar to graphite/ferrite), I did not notice any sounds, no holes, no video cameras. After the UFO passed over me, I did not observe any abilities or changes in myself. It probably didn't shine so that I could detect them, but the light probably creates some kind of field through which, for example, from the pipe of the boiler room (and when burning natural gas, a lot of carbon and hydrogen is formed), it allows something to be charged/refueled. Why did they reveal themselves and fly close - maybe they are unfamiliar with optics and decided to look through the telescope. After all, on Earth too - first the steam locomotive was invented, and only after tens of years - the bicycle. Thank you - if there is an opportunity to send you pictures and GIFs, I will be happy to do it.

Triangle object seen in Ukraine a couple of years after the Belgium flap.

It was in Ukraine in a village called Zadariv where my grandparents live, i was about 4 years old (1994) It was about midday, I was with my grand-dad crossing the bridge to go to the local store when I looked up and saw a Triangle object in the sky with 4 lights, one in each corner and one in the middle. I quickly told my grand-dad to take a look but he said it must of been a plane (by this time it was behind the clouds). Now I’m 14 and i found out about the Belgium Flap. I specifically remember the Triangle shape and Ukraine is VERY close to Belgium.

fireball comming right to me

I was a foreign student living and studying in Kiev,the capital of Ukraine. One summer (1989) day I was walking with my wife from the bus station to the studient residence when we saw a light comming torward as in the same path, It was bright and moving fast so I asumed, it was somebody on a bike, but the light was very steady, then we realized, it was gonna hit as, so I pulled my wife to the grass and that object passed by emiting a zooming sound, just like a wasp.....

I was a ball, like a red magma,it passed as and desappear into the night, mi wife got scare so we end up running to the residence. One thing that I notice, it was flying by its own power, no string attach,...

Only I few people have heard this story,sometime I ask my wife if she remembers this moment and yes she does, so I guess I was not dreaming.

Maybe this fenomenon is got a logic explanation, I don't have one.

Do you? ((name deleted)) Canada

a strange looking UFO

it was a clear mid day. I looked up and noticed something hovering above. It was about 50 yards high. I was young and thought it was a car, for a very brief moment I looked down for some reason, then when I thought wait a minute, cars dont fly, after maybe a couple of seconds had passed I quickly looked up, but it was gone. The strange thing it didnt appear to move, it stood in the air solid, it didnt have anything that looked round, there were no windows. But noticing the all the images of ufos until today, I have not seen anything that resembles anything near it. It was dark mostly, but had etching in no particular pattern, the etchings were some what golden at the base of the craft. If I can describe something that looks like, the first thing that comes to mind is ancient Chinese buildings design. It made absolutely no noise. I thought about it for years and haven't mentioned this to anyone, I thought might as well.

Abduction by UFO

I was riding down a hill on a sled when I saw a glowing disc approaching, then it hovered above me at a height of 3 stories. I almost slid down the hill and saw a light descend from that disc; it was very bright and dense, I saw neither the sky nor the ground, only this light, which stood like a wall. From that moment, I remember nothing. This happened around 11 a.m. I woke up at approximately 5 p.m., it was already sunset, other kids were on the hill, the surroundings had changed, but I couldn't understand how time had passed. It felt like I hadn't been there for those 6 hours. Then I felt a surge of energy; I had never felt like that before.

Original report in Russian:

Похищение нло



Я ехал с горки на санках, и увидел приближаются светящийся диск, потом он завис надомной на высоте 3 этажа. Я почти съехал с горки, и увидел как от этого диска спустился свет, он был очень яркий и плотный, я не видел ни неба, ни земли, только этот свет, он стоял стеной. С этого момента я ничего не помню. Случилось это в где то в 11 часов утра. Очнулся в приблизительно в 17.00, уже был закат, другие дети на горке, обстановка изменилась, но я не мог понять, как прошло время. Было ощущение, что меня там не было эти 6 часов. Потом я почуствовал прилив енергии, я никогда так себя не чуствовал.

Found 2 Foo-fighters on this vintage WW2 16 MM gun camera footage of a BF-110 firing on 3 DB3 Russian bombers on Youtube Amazing!!!!

I stumbled across this video on YouTube while watching old WW2 dog-fights and lo and behold, I found a video where there is clearly 2 Foo-Fighters that are clearly visible in this video. There's no way in hell this is fake while this plane was using a 16MM gun camera but for some reason nobody ever saw them on this video. Most every Ufologist talks about Foo-Fighters and there's plenty of WW2 pilots that said they saw them but other than some blurry pics, and believe me I've searched, I've never seen such definitive proof than this video. Before I send the video I need to tell you some things to observe because I've studied this video to death. When you see the first craft enter the screen from the front and go under and to the left of the BF-110 watch the pilots reaction. You can clearly see his tracer rounds and his plane deviate to the left while he's watching it go by. BTW, that's 3:44 seconds into the video. When you see the next craft, it comes from the top right hand corner of the screen and goes in front of the the bombers then almost does a 90 degree turn to the left and goes right by the BF-110 on his left side. If you you look when it enters the screen at the top right hand corner you will see that pilot's tracers rounds go from hitting the bomber to his tracers flying wildly up and to right and he wasn't shooting at the craft, its because the nose of the plane goes up because he saw that craft and when the craft does a hard left turn, the exact thing happens again. The nose of the plane turns left and his tracer rounds do the same. BTW, that's 4:14 seconds into the video.

I'm figuring, depending on the month that this happened somewhere around Estonia or Bucharest where the Russians where advancing on the Germans because the dogfight was going on over one of the seas which was either the Baltic or the Black sea. And if you watch the beginning, there were flack guns shooting at the bombers but when the BF-110 got behind them the flack guns refrained from firing. But that's just a rough guess.

You can find the video on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZyJbSIFJn8&t=254s
The link starts the video just before the object appears.

If you find this video to be of some relevance, which I know you will, please reach out to me and let me know. I know you're busy but I want your professional opinion on what you're going to see.
