Loud electric ringing noise, shaking floor, sputtering engine noise.

I was in my bedroom and heard my dogs go crazy. I removed my headphones to hear what sounded like a loud, electric ringing and a quieter engine noise right above my house. It hovered for about 10 seconds then quickly went away. It didn't sound like a helicopter or airplane or drone. The floor was shaking during this too. As soon as it started to move my dogs went completely silent.

Looked out window from highway and saw a line of lights

I looked out the window and saw a line of light in the sky. As we got closer it was several hundred feet or more in the air. The line was not one solid light but about 20 shaped lights in a straight line. Appeared to be letters but I couldn’t make out what they were. The lights did not blink or flicker or change. There was no movement. Once we passed the lights and I was looking back at them but still in close range, they disappeared from the right side to the left. I tried to video and photograph but the light wouldn’t pick up on my phones camera. My husband (driver) also saw the lights.

I looked up at the night sky to see the stars and one stood out so I watched it. It started moving up and down and back and forth for over an hour. My husband was a witness. I took video and photos that are not great due to the night sky and didn't have a tripod. There were about 10 airplanes that flew over my house around the same period of time.

Multicolored fog. Erratic flash of light that Change direction quickly

At 11-38 I stepped outside to record the strange multicolored fog over the town. There was no smell of smoke. After zooming in at 2:26 of the video I catch of flash of light it reappeared in two or three close locations. When I slowed the film the flashes of light seem to be moving in a certain direction almost like something was spinning with the light. After ascending and disappearing quickly the fog began to lift. A few minutes later I could hear planes roaring they came from every direction in a grid like pattern over town. Maybe 4-6 planes. There was no wind blowing during this time and the air felt like it at had a static charge.

Odd, intermittent and slow strobing light. Strobing was random and bright white.

While traveling southbound on I-59 near Ashville, Alabama, an odd light, which strobed at random, intermittent, intervals, was identified.

It moved through the sky at a varied pace, much like a helicopter could do, however the light was slowly brightened and dimmed unlike a conventional aircraft, which flashes or blinks at timed intervals.

Elevation seemed to high to be a drone and the light was too bright.

Orange round ball of light.

I had to let the dogs outside about 4am. In my mud room on my house, I have a back door for the dog pen and a front one to go outside to the driveway. I had let the dogs outside using the back door and noticed all the stars in the sky that morning.

I wanted to look at more stars and decided to go to the front door and look at the stars on that side. Upon opening the door I noticed a round orange glowing light just over my neighbor's house and the trees right behind them. I have looked in the night sky in the same direction many times, so I know for a fact there is nothing in that direction to cause the light.

It hovered for about half hour and in a blink of an eye it was gone. I know what I seen and it can not be explained.

Flashing Craft over Chautauqua, NY

September 14, 2013 Late Saturday night, at 11:20 pm, on September 14, 2013, I opened my back door to let my cat in for the night, when I saw to my right, a very bright, flashing object hovering above the tree line, approximately 1000 feet from where I was standing. The object was viewed from a pair of high powered binoculars once it gained my attention, and upon observation, I clearly saw it had no-fixed wings or tail, whatsoever. The blinking object was in the shape of a bell like Christmas ornament, and hovered in place over the tree line for 15 minutes, without moving. It was quite chilly, and the sky was clear with an abundance of stars, as well as a bright half moon.

This object had multiple, rapid flashing lights around the middle of the object, as well as a red light at the tip of it’s bell shape The lights around the middle region flashed of bright red & green lights, which flashed from left to right in unison. There were a row of smaller bright blue lights spanning above the larger, brighter red & green lights. The lower half of the object had a upside down cone shape, projecting downward from the upper bell shape, which had white lights covering it like that of a New Years Eve ball drop. Once I focused in on the object through my binoculars, and saw it clearly, I could not believe what I was looking at. This WAS NOT a human aircraft of any kind. It was unbelievably beautiful & brilliant as it hovered in place.

There was no-audible noise coming from the object as it hovered above the tree line to my North West. I watched it and video taped the strange object to the best of my ability, before it ever so slowly moved away to the North, and disappeared behind the tree line. I knew I had just witnessed a UFO, but I just could not believe it. I am hoping that it returns again, as I am armed with a video camera, and picture camera with tripods, hoping I will get a better image and footage of this very strange craft.

This is NOT a hoax, nor is this a made up story. I witnessed an actual unidentified craft in the sky, just beyond the woods of my property. I don’t know if it will ever return, but if it does, I’m ready with two camera’s to document this strange craft.

Teardrop craft with insanely bright trail shoots toward space then disappears in an instant.

While driving down the road on the way home my girlfriend and i saw an incredibly bright white teardrop shaped extraterrestrial space craft with a bright platinum blue and red trail fly across the sky and upward towards space at an incredibly unbelievably fast speed for about four seconds and then blinked out as if it completely instantly disappeared.

This was not the same way that shooting stars exist, this craft was large with a large trail and was very distinct and recognizable.

At 3:30 on January 7, 2012 I was hunting on my fathers farm just South of Ashville, Ohio. I was looking up at the sky and all of a sudden, I saw a shiny metallic balloon-like object floating in the air. I looked at it for several seconds. As I was almost finished hunting, I thought maybe I would shoot at it, for target practice. Then all of a sudden, in the blink of an eye, it darted off to the right, and in a blur it was gone. I continued to stare at the sky wondering what had just happened, and thinking it may re-appear. After several minutes I came to the conclusion that I might have just seen a UFO…

amber object in night sky during full moon, or the day before full moon

well, first off, i actually dont know if it was a UFO, it very well could have been sumthing eles, at first i thought it was a plane, till i noticed a few things, it was close, and about at large as the north star mabe slightly bigger, it had no blinking lights of any sort, and it had an amber tinge to it, then i thought, hey, im watching a shooting star, but then it started to move up and down as it was going across the sky, which is the only reson i looked at it for longer then a few seconds, also, there was another plane in the sky at about the same distance and altitude, however the plane had blinking lights, the object i was looking at dident, and the object i was looking at was getting smaller and fainter, it was ovbious it wasn't a plane, and it was moving further away alot faster then a plane could.

lights rotating above house above clouds - can only been seen when there is cloud cover to reflect lights.

I reported this once before. I've again seen the strange rotating light reflecting on the clouds over the house across from me. Same house as last time. Tonight is a very clear night with almost no cloud cover so I could not see it for long, but I was gazing at Orion while out on having a cigarette and a small patch of thin clouds drifted over the house. For the duration of the cloud cover I saw the same lights. They look almost like what would be car headlights in fog but they rotated stationary over the house - lights facing outward. No actual craft/vehicle/source can be seen, only the lights reflecting from above the clouds. When the clouds drift away the light cannot be seen at all but when more clouds drift over, it can be seen again continuing the rotation. This is really started to freak me out. I want to know what this is!!

Duration: still ongoing @ 22:24

Location: Ashville, AL, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

Srange lights/unknown craft observed in E/ESE sky of NorthEastern St.Clair County Al. on night of 12/05/2008.

Observed very strangely lit object approximately 40*-50* azimuth in E/ESE sky, moving in very unconventional flight manner.

Began observation @ approximately 21:35 CST and still ongoing as of 22:25 CST. Object shape difficult to discern, only noticing extremely agile motions of this object, in a manner inconsistent of any known flight craft.

Reporting made to Saint Clair County Sheriffs Department via phone at approximately 21:45 CST.

Lighting appears to be multicolor red/blue/green as best as can be determined from presentation at this unknown distance, which I can best estimate as 3+ miles.

I notified two of my neighbors whom saw the same unknown object, and verify that this situation was indeed occuring as reported here. Additionally, my wife came outside and observed same sighting for several minutes as well, until too cold to remain outside any longer.




NUFORC Note:

We are grateful for the excellent report, but we believe that the witness may have been looking at Sirius, which is a very colorful object in the southeaster sky, currently. PD

Occurred: 2008-11-29 23:00 Local
Reported: 2008-11-29 20:29 Pacific
Duration: unknown ~10 min +
No of observers: 1

Location: Ashville, OH, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Emitted beams

Dual beams of light (like headlights) reflecting off clouds, rotating in a stationary circular pattern; only visible when cloudy.

I went outside for a cigarette and just south of where I was (across the street) I saw lights reflecting above the clouds making a circle pattern in the sky. It was just above the clouds and when the clouds passed it couldn't be seen, returning when the clouds came back over head. Looks like what could best be described as whitish headlight beams but facing outward at all times as if something was rotating. I continued to watch for about 10 minutes and it didn't move at all from the spot where it originally was (like as if rotating towards something) but stayed circling the same exact spot in the sky.

This is my second time seeing something like this, but the first time (about a month or so ago) it was about 15 miles north of here. Like now, I had stepped out to get a cigarette and it was just circling just above the clouds right next door to the north of my position.

I am unsure on duration, as with both instances the phenomenon had already started when I stepped out and was still continuing when I had to go inside. I am a star gazer, so I frequently watch the sky and would definitely notice if this occurred more often.

A bright, shiny, metalic looking object fell downwards in the sky.

While driving today, a friend and I looked out the front windshield of her car, and saw something bright fall from the sky. It fell down diagonally to the right. The sky was somewhat cloudy, and it was still bright outside, making it clearly not a shooting star, since no other stars were visible. The object looked bigger and closer than a star, and also had a shimmer to it to make it seem as if it were made of metal. The object went for a distance of about one fist (meaning if you extend your arm, aim it to the sky, and close on eye, the object traveled from the top of the fist to the bottom).

This occurred at 5:52 PM on Wednesday, December 12, 2007, while driving south on Jameson Street in Ashville, Ohio.

A stunning display of 6 objects,incredibly fast,no plane can move out and back in formation like that.

While out walking the dog and observing constellations 6 craft in "V"formation flew by at an incredible speed.I was looking at Orion and they appeared at that level,North and East of Orion.Direction flying due west.There were three on each side of the v and the middle craft on the north side veered out and then back in formation.They were not real bright....only as bright as a faint star.They were well below the rest of the planes in the sky at the level of Orion at 6:45.No noise at all.Much faster than any plane for sure.All the dogs in the neighborhood were barking.

The sighting happened near Ashville Ohio in mann's trailer park.It was hot out ,the moon was bright and in the summer time June or July 1984 or 1985.WE where 9-10 years old.Mann's park is very close to Rickenbacker Air base at that time I think the air base was active.The air base was named after Ace of Aces Eddie Rickenbacker Famous WWI pilot. My name and my sisters {we are maternal twins}, from here on will be,mine- s hers- d .This is what happened to her and I to the best we can recall .She and I where camping out at a friends trailer a few lots down. Around 2:30am My sister D got sick to her stomach and woke me up wanting to go home.I got up and we started walking home,about halfway.I noticed a dim spotlight on us coming from above.We both looked up. I saw a silver disk with lights circling around it.D saw A silver disk that was balled on the bottom .The disk was low about tree top level.D at that moment says she heard a robotic sound like talking but could not understand it.I heard a dull static like humming sound kind of like a TV sounds when it first kicks on .We both got scared and took off running to our trailers front door and began beating the door hard. No one answered,In the house where three people and one was a very light sleeper.No one woke up.So then we ran around to the other side.Our side yard was very close to Rickenbacker property.We then began beating on the light sleepers window.At that moment D says she heard a commotion coming from Rickenbacker men yelling truck motors running,racing.At that moment an apple fell out of our mid-sized apple tree in the yard.D and I turned around and looked up in the tree.This is what I saw in the tree.A very small man hunched, crotched down with his very long arms hanging out in front of him,his body was half in the light His color was bluish grey his legs where silky smooth like a womens and his hands where funny looking not sure why.I got the impression he meant us no harm and I got the impression we where interrupting something.D saw this from her view point she saw a very small man in a gargoyle like stance with his long arms hanging out off his knees.D says his color was dark she did not see him in the light.D says his head was elongated in the back.That is all she can recall of him.We both saw him not move at all he was very motionless. Now we where freaking out we ran to the front again and this time D went to the corner of the deck and started crying.I beat on the door and started yelling for dad.This time I could see him through the glass He was asleep in his recliner and did not move.Then I remember nothing .D and I only remember waking up the next day in our beds.My mother recalls us talking about it but insisted we must have dreamt it all. If that is so then how come no one that night ever recalls letting us in the trailer.Also I have had a birth mark on my thigh all my life it was barely noticeable until that night.Even my mother says the next day is was much more plain to see.Also i have a weird creepy fear of black shark eyes or a bulls eyes.D has no such mark.D has no such fear.We are not insane we are very close twins and what happened was real. I just hope someone else can gain from what we are sharing here.We have no desire to recall anymore than we have.This has taking some courage to do and fear of being made fun of and laughed at has kept us quite till now.
