No of observers: 2 - Military

Location: Chelsea, OK, USA
Location details: It was over/near the Chelsea Reservoir or somewhere between Oologah Lake & Chelsea proper.

Shape: Light
Color: White
Estimated Size: Hard to say because of the distance.
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: West Northwest from where I was standing.
Angle of Elevation: 20
Closest Distance: Not sure. Looked like a mile or two maybe?
Estimated Speed: Hard to say because of the distance.
Characteristics: Lights on object

Multiple lights flying up from the ground in erratic pattern, then fading out as they went upward.

I have a line of trees that runs behind my property. From my backyard I could see white lights floating upward from over top of those trees in an irregular motion from that of fixed wing aircraft, and I couldn't hear any helicopters or see any FAA compliant navigation lights. The red and green blinking lights that are usually indicative of drones. This was at night and the lights may have been upwards of a couple miles from my vantage point so they might've been a couple hundred feet in the air? The lights would rise up one or two at a time at a pretty decent pace, then would fade out as they got to a certain point above the horizon. This happened over and over for about 10 minutes. At one point I watched one zip along the horizon and looked like it split into two lights but it also could've been just two lights and convenient timing from my perspective on the ground. All I know is that I spend a lot of time looking at the night sky at my house and I haven't seen those lights before, nor have I seen them since. It was out of place. I'd also like to mention that I'm a professional videographer. So I have a ton of experience flying drones and flying in and filming out of helicopters and other aircraft. So I'm pretty familiar with what I'm looking at in the sky, be it day or night time. These were different.

Coming in from work we could see a white light in the sky that wasn’t moving. 2 adults witnessed this with one of the adults being a first responder. The other adult video taped the event. The light would move to the left then move to the right, while it was being videotaped it disappeared and then reappeared. In the video the light pulsates and changes color. After 30 minutes it disappeared and didn’t come back.

2 white Cigar-shaped objects flying parallel to each other (not touching) until they disappeared into the sun. Not moving too fast.

First saw 2 white cigar-shaped objects flying parallel to each other, but not touching. I thought they looked like missiles, but they were travelling pretty slowly. They disappeared into the sunlight and I didn't see them after that.

About 20 minutes later, I saw a third white cigar-shaped object of similar size in the sky. It was moving until it, too, disappeared after just a couple of minutes. I was certain it was different from a plane or helicopter.

I walked outside in my back yard around 8:45 pm CST and noticed 8 stationary objects in the NE sky. They each had 3 red lights and appeared to have a triangle shape.

The objects hovered in a semi-circle formation for approx 3-5 mins and then disappeared.

There wasn't any type of noticable sound like you would hear with a normal airplane.

This was definitely not anything I've ever seen before!

object emitting 3 plumes flying west to east at steady speed. Maybe 3 orbs medium grey.

27 year old daughter saw what appeared to be 3 very close objects emitting short thick plumes behind them. Pulled vehicle over so I could look but the object(s) were heading away to the east toward Detroit.

First impression was a asteroid, but when my daughter and her boyfriend put their binocs on them they thought they looked like 3 orbs. Could not tell if they were joined or not. Could distinctly see 3 plumes. Military bomber perhaps? Never saw plane like that before if it was. It kept flying at altitude at a steady rate of speed. Hopefully more people noticed it.

Weather was clear and sunny.

The 12th one came up from the north-east from what it appeared to be the ground, shot up quickly to the others and followed them to the east and those other 11 objects were in a straight line like formation as it appeared to me. The sun was almost completly set, there was still very little light in the sky, and it was partially cloudy.

I saw them go up into the clouds to the east and basically dissapeared in to them.

Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

Small triangular object flying in large circles above our area with lights in each corner making a very strange resonating sound.

I awoke to the sound of a strange noise that sounded like a cross between a slow flying jet and a propeller driven airplane, but it was at a pitch that seemed to resonate and make a very slight vibrating sound. The second time I heard it, I got out of bed and walked outside. I looked up and saw a triangular craft with lights on each corner that looked like it was at least 400 - 500 feet up and flying at a very slow speed which looked to me to be around 60 - 70 mph. The sound it was making was so weird I can't really describe it like I heard it.

It was flying in a circle with a circumference of about 3 miles and did this for at least 20 minutes. It would fly directly over my house. I even got my video camera out and shot some video, but I don't think it will turn out since it was very dark and my camera couldn't focus on anything. At one point, there was even a different small 2 or 4 seater airplane that flew under this object at a normal speed and about 300 or so feet below the object.

It then flew in a few oblong circles until it then started to fly in a straight line away from my house at the same speed.

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Lights on object

A thunderstorm approaching in the middle of the night/early morning woke me up, and I got out of bed, went to the window and looked out. I live in a two-storey house, my bedroom is on the second floor. The window from which I looked out is on the east side of the house. I live on a tree-lined street (maples, sycamores). There’s one street light on the corner west of my house, and another street light further up the street going toward Main Street (which runs north/south), which is not visible from my house. When I looked out the window I could see the silhouette of the maple tree next door, and saw that the wind had picked up. I heard thunder in the distance, but there was no rain. I stood there at the window for at least 2 or 3 minutes watching for lightning, and after not seeing any I thought I should get back into bed and try to go back to sleep. But immediately after thinking that, and before I left the window, a bright white, round light caught my eye. At first I thought it was a firefly, but the light was too large, bright and distinct. It was just slightly above my eye level, and being that I was on the second floor the light was up near the top of the maple tree that grows in front of the house next door to me (on the east side). I would say it was approximately 20 feet away from my window. It was perfectly round, about the size of a tennis ball. Another one slowly appeared next to the first, and then another, and another – until there were four lights in a row, evenly distanced apart – maybe a foot or less, in a straight line (relative to each other), that was on a slight 20 degree angle – the most distant light slightly higher than the first in the row. There was no sound, except for a light wind. These lights hovered near the top of the tree and maintained this linear formation for at least 30 seconds. I don't know if they were individual lights, joining each other; or perhaps they were attached to something else that had slowly moved from behind the tree. Then! they we re suddenly gone, almost like I blinked and they were gone. I don’t know what they were, but I do know they weren’t fire flies or street lights.

Possible abduction, I'm not sure what happened that 8 years ago.

Well, this is a little personal for me to be describing as I have been a little traumatized by the event. I was about ten years old at the time and this is my first time reporting it. I am now 18. I went to sleep on the living room couch one night because the living room has a large window looking out to the west. Anyway, I woke up in the middle of night (midnight was the time on the VCR) on my back, and surprisingly I was not groggy, almost as if I had been up the entire night. But I had decided to then count the stars until I go back to sleep because I couldn't sleep. Well, there was this one star that was moving in north to south direction (from my point of view it was from left to right). I mistook as a plane and so my focus followed it. I decided to play a mind game with myself thionking it would make me tired and thought I could control the direction of the plane by looking at the direction where i want it to go. I said to myself, "I'm going to control you with my eyes.) and the exact moment when I finished that sentence, the "plane" then flashed a very bright light into the living room where I was. I shut my eyes and pulled the covers over me. When I opened my eyes I was on my back with my arms at my sides and the covers were still over me. At first I couldn't breathe out of fright, I was so afraid to move or even think. When I finally got the courage to pull away my blanket from on top of me, I saw that the clock on the VCR was about 2:30AM. It was still dark, so I immediately got up, ran to my parents' room and asked them if they saw a light flash inside the house, they groggily said no. I climbed in bed with them and went to sleep. If anybody has a record of anyone having a similar experience, please e-mail me at I ((e-address deleted)) or call mny cell at ((telephone number deleted)). I am very interested in an explanation. Since then I have had an extreme phobia of UFOs, aliens, and especially the drawings of what they might look like. Thanks.

Another Witness to the Michigan UFO Sightings in March of 1966.

It was a cold clear winter night in March 1966 when my friend and I decided to go ice skating in a creek that was approximately a quarter mile from his his home. We were both 9 years old at the time. He lived on the edge of town. As we were about half way to the creek, we witnessed a white light weaving slowly toward us across the sky heading west. It was about 100 yards above us and made no sound. We panicked and ran back toward his home and as we did the object shot straight up in the sky at a high rate of speed stopping abruptly to look like another star in the sky. Our sighting coincided with the mass UFO sightings in Michigan in March of 1966. After this we did witness the object a few times again. The most remarkable one was seeing it again from his home at about the same location. His house faced south with a large pane window in front and he had a small telescope that we set up to see if we could see it closer. We did catch the object briefly and it h! ad red, green and other colored lights that I cannot remember. It reminded us of a Christmas tree when lit up and appeared oval shaped. It seemed to know we were watching it and once again shot straight up in the sky at a rapid speed. I did see it a few more times as I was riding with my parents in our car. It seemed to tail us for a short distance and then depart again. It was almost like it wanted to make me aware that it was there. My friend and I never spoke about this with our parents as we were afraid they would never believe us. To this day, my friend will still not speak of the sightings and changes the subject when I bring it up. On a side note, the farmer Frank Manor who had the sightings and landing on his property around the same time worked for my Father on weekends. I remember Frank as a very credible and believable guy as he detailed his sightings. He was hard working and a little rough around the edges but I believe he saw what he reported. I felt bad at the! time because he took so much ribbing from my Father's employe! es and o thers in the community at the time. It was laughable that Allen Hynek labeled the object as swamp gas. I know what I saw and believed Frank Manor's story because it only corroborated my sightings. I decided to report this now so my sightings could be finally documented.
