Hovering craft starts fire with laser

Saw a craft maybe 150-200 feet up hovering and it looked to be around the size of a golf cart and it was sporadically shining down light that looked like a laser that was a greenish color. Then all of the sudden some of my land on my property caught on fire where the laser was shining so I ran towards the fire to see if I could put it out and luckily it was small enough for me to stomp out and didn’t get out of control yet, after I got the fire out I looked back up for the craft but it was gone.

Characteristics: Lights on object, Made a sound

Round spinning object with lights

I didn’t see this but heard it outside and found the community discussing it the next morning on Facebook. Many people in town saw the object and there is video of it posted on a community member’s Facebook page. This object sounded like a jet, it was loud and hovered in the area for 15-30 minutes. It’s round, hovered and moved around, sped up, slowed down, all over the western edge of Ardmore. There are two rings of light on the object, it spun on its side then disappeared from the view of Ardmorites. I’m estimating that over 30 people saw the object and many more heard it outside, but didn’t go to investigate as it appeared after midnight.

Was on the porch and saw it. Started filming it and it changed shape and color

I was on the front porch smoking a cigarette and saw it in the sky. At first I thought it was a helicopter coming to the hospital because I could see red and blue lights. Then I realized that it wasn't moving so I came in the house called my husband out to come look at it and grabbed my phone to record it. It was jerking around and then it poofed into another shape and color. Husband said it may be a drone but I don't think it was. I've never seen anything like it before and it was so high up. I don't know what it was.

The creature was tall, slender, dark humanoid.

It was late afternoon in a forest and I dropped a pebble. When I looked up, I saw a tall black figure with no eyes looking at me. The figure was almost as tall as the house I was near. The creature looked at me for about five seconds while I was locked in place. The creature seemed to force me to stay, then it let me go. It did nothing at all, yet it was intimidating.

Location: Ardmore, OK, USA

Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

Bright red/white light changing directions rapidly and descending and ascending rapidly.

While I was working security in Oklahoma, watching a storm coming in around 3 am on 11/17/2015. I was facing west, when I noticed a bright red/white light, like an orb. At first I thought it was a radio tower light but I noticed it was moving. The bright light looked like a radio tower light you would see off in the distance while driving. The bright light was moving south half way above tree line and the clouds. The light then suddenly started going back north for a little distance the suddenly headed back south. It traveled a little more distance and stopped and hovered.

All of a sudden the light dropped down towards the ground, at a pace a little slower than dropping a ball, disappearing behind the tree line. After a few second 10 to 20 seconds the light came straight back up at the same pace and place, it descended. It came to a rest and hovered at the same place it fell from. The bright light then started to move south again for a short distance until it sto! pped and hovered and fell again. After the same amount of time, approx. 10 to 20 seconds, it came back up to same spot, it stopped, and hovered.

The bright light then moved to the south again where it did the same thing only this time it didn't come back up watched for 5 to 10 mins never seeing the light again. The bright red/white light was several miles off like looking at a radio tower hazard light at the top.

It was dark and storming with mild to strong wind and rain so the light stood out very well.

Triangular ufo mid air tow

My wife and I parked our car right off county line rd a block up from Karen's hair in Ardmore Pennsylvania . We started walking north twords my friends house above Karen's hair. As we walked we observed a triangle shaped aircraft with 3 purple circle lights on the bottom. We stopped for 5 to 10 mins and observed the Triangular aircrafts were floating about a half a mile in the air. This Triangular aircraft appeared to be slowly towing an identical Triangular aircraft. The towed Triangular aircraft seemed in complete control defying physics. No visible tow line but it was being towed.

They appeared to be floating almost cutting htrough the night sky .As the 2 Triangular aircrafts flew north silently a third Triangular aircraft appeared from the south east and proceeded to catch up and help tow the 2nd Triangular aircraft making for a total of 3 dark colored Triangular silent aircraft

Unknown aircraft that zipped around the sky

I was siting in my bedroom with my friend. She asked me "Is this an airplane?", I looked through my window, that faces North and saw a light in the sky that I thought was an airplane. The light was zipping around in way that is impossible for a known aircraft, such as a helicopter or airplane. The light kept moving back and forth, we could see that it would hover closer to the ground and then shoot back up higher in the sky. The light stayed hovering until I fell asleep which was 45 minutes later.

My husband and I went outside at 4am last night to look at this strange star my husband told me he saw the other night. The star wasn't out there earlier on in the night, but he told me it would pop up around 4am. I went out with him, and sure enough it was there. It was very bright and low in the sky...looks like a planet. I don't know if that part is relevant though to our sighting.

I looked to the north because I saw a flashing light out of my peripheral. I thought at first it was an airplane form the flashing lights. I had my husband look, and we noticed that it wasn't moving. Then I noticed it had more than just blue, red, and white lights, some were green and orange. It seemed that it was moving towards us after watching and then as it became closer, we noticed that it would move a little bit. It would dart from side to side randomly, in a really fast manner. I looked back to the west where the star was, and saw another that had popped up. This one looked like it was about the same distance away, but lower, so I think it was actually closer because my camera wouldn't pick up the first one and it would this one. This is when I grabbed my laptop to take a video. Then after videotaping them for about 12 minutes we went inside to grab our phone and take pictures on their as well, and my husband was looking for his looking glass. I was also just freaked! out and starting to get really frightened and wanted to go inside. When we came back out about 2-3 minutes later, a huge, bright, white star-like object had appeared south of the original star and just a bit to the left of it. The 2nd UFO was flying to the right between both of the them, all of them making a triangle shape. The bright light really scared me because it was so low in the sky and looked so close. It wasn't blinking, but rather really bright and big and looked like a star. What was the scariest is that it hadn't been there before. We watched the two UFO's and the star-like object for another hour and a half. During this time another UFO popped up, coming from far away in the north(just right of the first UFO), looking like it was heading east towards the second UFO and surrounding star and star-like object. Then another popped up below the first sighted UFO, and it was coming from far away as well. It didn't look like it was heading anywhere to the right or le! ft, but just coming closer towards us. All in all, this experi! ence sca red me really bad. I've never believed in stuff like this before, and I don't want to believe it. Maybe what I saw can be explained, but I don't know what to believe anymore. This was a wake up call to me I think. If you think about it, you hear this all the time, but you blow it off as a crazy person. It is reported all too often to their not be some truth to the matter, and that is what scares me the most.

We also heard a strange noise in the middle of our sighting. It sounded kind of like a gun shot or a crash. Their were many trains going by while it happened and so i couldn't hear much ohther than that. I thought I heard an aircraft kind of noise, like a whooshing noise at one time,as well(around the time the star-like object appeared. I don't know if this is relevant, but thought I would add it just in case. Additionally, the objects were far away, maybe miles. The bright star looked very close though, and was very, very low towards the ground. Every once in a while it seemed like it would pulse. I don't know if that was just a trick of the eye though.

Orange/Yellow flying ball

On the 19th of July 2012 @ 11 pm I was looking south at what looks like a normal satellite. Then right in my vision like right now is a large yellowish/orangeish ball looking thing.

The ball started up in the sky and sort of arced down while flying north. It was coming in my general direction (so it headed S to N) At first I thought it was a very very low flying plane but it didn’t sound like a plane, there was no sound and had no flashing lights. It was a solid orange/yellow ball.

If I had to guess at its size, I’d say the size of a large tractor inner tube.

Saw a light that appeared to be a star, but was moving very erraticaly before shooting off directly north.

At first thought I was looking at a star, that's how faint the light was. It appeared to be stop, move one direction, stop, and move another. It did this in the same location for about 10 to 15 minutes. It then shot off to the north. It began directly above me, and was out over the horizon with 20 seconds.

I saw a military plane circling around the apartment area and than what I saw next was beyond my own understanding I saw a bright silver cylinder looking object I thought at first a satellite, but than it moved slowly about 1/3 from its stating point and than about 7 minutes later and severely circling of the plane I was stunned to see a second UFO come from behind the silver object it moved back and it was bigger some how and than the second machine went from backing up a little and than it moved forward about 1 to 2 miles and it just disappeared and it had no nose it was a bright red/orange oval three dim it moved in a straight line and than it just disappeared it was big and the bottom of this thing had a shadow it just disappeared by the way I forgot to mention there was no cloud in the skies and it took about 30 seconds to disappear and when i looked back at the silver object it was gone it took 10 minutes from start to finish. This is not a joke at all! and i need answer it was weird and I need answer.

Triangular craft with three red lights hovering and then circling areas in Ardmore, Oklahoma.

I walked outside for a moment to sit on my back porch, and thought to see a normal red light similar to that of a helicopter. It was coming from the east and heading west. It started heading south and then turned back to head east. It stopped and hovered over my porch. It was lower than a normal airplane and made less noise than an airplane would. It did not make the same sound as a helicopter. When it stayed above my head, higher than my house, but lower than a normal airplane for a moment, I noticed that the one bright light was three. It was shaped like a triangle.

I ran inside briefly to grab my son and husband. We came out side and watched it hover for a moment and head back southwest. It went towards the main city, but moved back southeast. It circled an area before it became out of sight.

Two red lights and a blue light over highway 53 near Ardmore, AL.

My mother, brother and i were going home from eating out as it was my brother's birthday the day before.

At about 9:35 when we were passing a field my mother said "Look, a UFO." Though at first she was joking because she thought it was a cell phone tower, but after a closer look i noticed it was moving slowly, maybe 40-50 miles per hour. It was about 150-200 feet in the air. It was triangular and had two red lights and a blue light.

We watched it until we passed it in our car, then we turned around and it was gone.

Polished oval shaped craft with green illumination moving in a controlled manner

my sister and i were sitting in the drive way in the car and out of nowhere a ufo appeared and zoomed off in a controlled and fast manner. It was a very thin oval shape (less pointy than a football but more pointy than an oval) craft that had green illumination around it. I couldn't see the bottom because of the green light around the middle but it was very smooth and polished on top kind of a metal or beige color on top. It was nothing either of us have ever seen and it was moving very controlled and in a slight descent angle.

Family sees strange light moving across night sky that flickers, dims, and brightens.

We was coming home from Midwest City,OK after a visit with some of my family members for Thanksgiving when in Ardmore, OK when we seen the most extroidinary sight in my life. My dad, mom, and my 2 brothers and I all seen this object. I have kep't this under my hat for about a month now. We all looked up, and noticed this light moving across the sky. Can't really remember the direction it was traveling, but I know it wasn't going the opposite way from us. It was just a light moving across the sky at a very moderate speed. What got me is when we all seen this light it started to dim out, and flicker off. So at this point of me being a local community ufo investigator I stopped to think of any explanation for this light. First I eliminated the plane/jet theory. No way possible that this was of these two. Next I eliminated the planet suggestion. This light/craft was moving, and it flickered off. We was moving in our van about 80mph, but I know this light object was moving. I look in the sky's alot I know this stuff. There was a alot of clouds out. Almost whole sky was covered. This object was under cloud level. So this means that the flickering, and dimming was not due to the excessive amount of clouds in the sky. There was no way this was a satellite, or shooting star just by examination of the object. I finally had to come to a conclusion that this object was most likely extraterrestrial. I mean this object/light would flicker on and off, dim a little then become real bright again. My mom had the best view, and she said that this was the most bizarre ufo related event that has happened to her. I agreed right along with her. I have reported other reports to you guys.

Not to long ago I reported a report to ya'll about the orange like object that turned into a what looked like a star zooming across the sky. I have had my share of seeing ufo's, and I have had my share of being able to investigate around my community, and be able to get to hear other witnesses reports of ufo's. I know what we s! een comi ng home from Midwest City that night, and it wasn't from this Earth. Soon the world will know the truth of these strange anamolies, but I can't say when. " There once was a crash that happened in 1947, claims it was a flying saucer then claims it was a weather balloon, why the sudden change of story's, and why so fast?"

Bright light speeds by

I went outside to have a cigarette on my 3rd story deck and immediately looked up at the sky. I swear, at the same exact time I stepped outside and looked up an EXTREMELY bright and EXTREMELY fast light seemed to soar by.

It was disorienting because I simply looked up and it caught me completely off-guard. The sighting literally didn't last for more than a second or two. It was extremely fast and then seemed to fade out similar to a meteor. However, even being a bit disoriented, I could tell the light was low. It was very low and very very fast.

I've never seen an aircraft move so fast, and especially at such a low flight height. And, I've surely never seen a bright ball of light fade out on any type of discernable aircraft. Not to mention, what I saw was pure ball of light, and not a segment or small light as a part of the craft. The entire craft was light, and when it faded it seemed like I could almost make out an object still there for a very brief moment.

I know it may sound like a meteor, and that's honestly what I can best relate the sighting too except for the notable differences I mentioned-- imagine a meteor that seems like it's travelling horizontally at a height of only about 600-1000 ft. It was so low. There was also no observable tail like most meteor have. It was clearly speeding across the sky-- distinctly and insanely quick.

I've gone out before to admire meteor showers and know what even the brightest meteors are like. This sighting was far different. The object appeared to be low and zoom directly perpendicular to the ground... It was also too large to be a meteor. It was the size of a pea at an arm's length from your body.

There was no discernable sound. None at all.

I've never before seen a craft move this fast. I've never before heard a craft make no noise at a close range. I've never before seen a pure ball of light. I've never before seen a luminous craft completely fade out and seemingly disappear. And, I've never before seen a craft moving at such a high rate of speed, at such a low height. It completely defied everything I've ever seen in the night's sky ... even the most plausible explanation-- a giant and impressive meteor.

I am 99% certain that what I just saw was NOT a meteor, and I am 0% certain what exactly it was.

Bright, randomly flashing, zig-zagging craft or object (possibly orb) off in the distance.

I heard a deep, low-pitch flight noise which motivated me to wonder what the heck it was. Upon looking out my window to the west, I saw a bright randomly flashing object that was moving jaggedly about in a southward direction. I have never seen flight like this. In reality, looking at least 10 miles to the west, I don't think what I heard (the low-pitch) was what I saw. However, this thing flew like an insect on speed. It bobbed and weaved about, extremely rapidly, within a small radius, while travelling wherever it was headed. I am a logical person, and the fact that the flashes were extremely bright for how far it seemed away and totally random (not timed like a commercial plane light), plus the fact that it was rapidly darting about (again constantly darting within a small area of space- the movement was part of this thing's flight pattern) leads me to believe it was not from this world, at least to my knowledge. I've heard of hovering, and rapid speeds, but this things was rapid within a short space of area, not darting expansive distances. It was beyond weird, and I would've woken my family had it not been 4:30 in the morning. Also, in a big city like Philadelphia (I live in the suburbs 10 miles away), you'd have to expect these things would not want to be seen, hence, they would probably only show themselves at very stategically planned times- such as 4:30 when most people are asleep, or not yet awoken. I know what I saw, I may've been tired, but I know what I saw. And what I saw cannot be defined as a space craft from this world, at least to the layperson's knowledge. This was energy, raw energy I presume from the random flashes and hectic darting pattern. This thing was out of this world, I am pretty sure of that.

Hovering egg shaped object.

I received a report from a very kind and helpful lady on July 1, 2003. She was looking for possible answers over what her and her husband witnessed at the beginning of June at 9:00 p.m. in Ardmore Tennessee, United States. Also the witnessed talked with a friend shortly afterwards, explaining what the couple saw. To the witnesses surprise her friend also said she noticed the same bright light on the same evening at the same time when she was outside, but never gave it much thought until the witnesses brought the topic up. I hope I can come up with some kind of answer for the witnesses to this event.

Report & Update below: I have been looking for something for almost a month now, to help me understand what we saw one night.

We live in Southern Tennessee USA, in the central part. My husband and I were coming home about 9:00 PM, and as we started down the road towards our home, I got a glimpse of a very bright light off to the north of us, not very high up, over the tree tops, it was more of a glowing or illumination...not a reflection! I told my husband to look, and as he looked up, he said it was a plane. I told him that it was not and since it was moving slow, I was gonna follow it, and we did. We took back roads and tried to keep it in site, at one point, we went down a dirt road and it looked like it just hovered above the trees, maybe 1500 feet or so. It was a giant egg shape. At first I thought it was a blimp, and as of yet, I am not sure what it was.....one thing for sure, it was something I had never seen before. There was no sound at all, and it was moving very slowly. Not once did it speed up. As it moved out of sight, we had to drive a short distance to be able to see it again, and it was moving to the South west....still not making a sound. As we got into town, where we could see it better, it was moving further away, and appeared to be going higher. Other people had to have seen it, but nothing was ever mentioned in the papers or to the police. About 2 weeks later, I was talking to a friend who lives in the area and told her about it, and it jogged her memory to the same night, she went outside, and just looked up and seen a bright light, and wondered what it was, but never thought nothing else about it. I have tried to find out what a blimp looks like at night in the sky, and I can't find anything. I wanted to call the airport in Huntsville Ala, and see if they seen anything on radar, but my husband said, "They probably wouldn't tell you if they did." So I didn't call them.

Can you help me out, what do you think it was? Anything you can tell me, I would appreciate it.

Thank You.

(name deleted by HBCC UFO Research) Update: I asked a number of questions in hopes of trying to get a better idea of what the folks saw that evening. Below is the witnesses response.

Thanks for the answer to my email. I will try to answer the questions as well as possible.

It took place about the first part of June, of this year 2003.,about 9:00 PM. The weather had been rainy for a few days, but it was rather clear that night, during that time. From the time we spotted the light, until we lost sight of it, was about 30 minutes, I think. Maybe 45, with all the driving up and down dirt roads and trying to find it again when it would go behind the trees and hills. At one time when we seen it hovering, we had driven down a hill on a dirt road, and it was off to our left, hovering above the trees, if I held out my arm and measured the length of it between my index finger and thumb, it would have probably been about an inch and half to 2 inches in length. (My arms are short also) When we seen it hovering, we could not make out any details on it, it was just bright, no sound, no flashing lights, no indications of windows or anything like that. It was just so bright, I don't see how anyone didn't see it. The town we live in, is Ardmore Tennessee, which borders the state of Alabama also. Interstate 65 runs north and south. And the town of Ardmore is located on the line. As we drove into town, so we could get a better look, due to the horizon line, we noticed that no one even acted like they seen it. The teens were cruising the strip and not even noticing what was going on. As we entered the town, the road we were on was coming from the north east., and the object had moved across town and was headed to the West, southwest. My friend that seen the light, lives south west of Ardmore, and she only briefly got a glimpse of the bright light, they have a lot of trees there and she couldn't see it at all, just a light in the sky, through the trees.

The bright light was like the color of a fluorescent light, kind of glowing. Putting off a lot of light around it. I said it was egg shaped, more of an oval, with the egg lying on its side, not standing up. When it hovered over the trees, it wasn't long, rather, we stopped and looked at it, maybe 2 minutes, and then we drove off, trying to get a better look, as it started moving slowly again. It never made a sudden movement, and never sped up, unless it did so while we were driving to get a better look. The path it took, seemed to be straight. We were the ones going in circles.

I was in awe, I have always been amazed at these things, and although people have made fun of me, I know my husband seen it with me that time. When we finally got out of the woods and back up on top of the hill coming into town, it was headed on to the west, southwest. And getting to far off to see it good, but you could still see the bright light. It was just getting farther away, and my husband wanted to come home, and quit chasing something we may not want to catch.

Usually when something odd is in the sky, the meteorologist say something about it on the news at 10:00 that night, but not a single word was said. Especially Adrian Gibson on channel 31 in Huntsville Ala. where we get most of the weather conditions. That's why my husband said it was probably a blimp. I got on the Internet and tried to look up pictures of blimps at night, and nothing came up....that was any help. My friend said she didn't see anything that she could speak of, except the light. She didn't see the object. So I guess we will have to go on my word. Attached is a drawing I did to kind of show you how it appeared at first.

Thanks again (name deleted by HBCC UFO Research) The statement below referrers to a computer drawing the witness sent to me which gave me a better idea of where they were when they spotted the object. I will be posting this report along with the computer image to my site soon.

Was this a UFO?

My children & I were traveling on a highway on the AL/TN state line. My daughter spotted it first & asked what "that thing" was in the sky. It was oval shaped, yellowish in color, w/ lights around the bottom. It was stationary when she first noticed it and pointed it out to me. Once it started to move, it took about 5 min before disappearing into the sky. People getting into their car in a parking lot were also looking toward it and pointing.

Silver Sphere Hovering above treeline on Interstate 65 N.

Friday, July 1978 1:00 P.M. My father and I were driving a U-Haul truck. We were returning an empty U-Haul truck to Tullahoma, TN. We were moving from Tullahoma TN to Athens AL. We had just Accessed Interstate 65 N from AL State Hwy 72. We had just passed a roadside welcoming center on the left of the interstate going toward the Tennessee State line. About 1:00 p.m., I looked up and above the tree line on the right side of the hwy was a huge silver ball. It was a hot sunny clear day not a cloud in the sky. I said to my father, "Hey, look at that!" He said, "It looks like a weather balloon." I said, "No it is not!" We argued about it. We studied it for a little while and then stopped the truck. We got out to look at it were we had a good view. As we were debating, If it were a weather balloon or not, a door slid open in a downward motion near the bottom of the object. We stood motionless watching! We stood there in silence. A smaller silver ball came out of the opening and went to our right. Then as second came out and went to our left. They both hovered there for about five minutes. The small silver ball that came out second returned to the opening first. Likewise the first went back in the opening. The door shut slowly. It sat motionless for a few more minutes. Then began moving slowly toward the NE. Suddenly with incredible speed it went upward and to the NE out of view. My father and I in silence got back into the truck. We said nothing to one another. My father spoke first. He said, There is no sense in telling anyone what we have seen. No one would believe it anyway." We continued on our journey in silence.
