It was pulsating slowly, about 1 second each on and off. It didn't move the entire 7 minutes.

I tend to watch the skies when taking our dog out, didn't recognize the star in the cup of Big Dipper. Watching it, noticed it was small but not moving, it was pulsating slowly and evenly, about 1 second each on and off, not twinkling. I thought it could be the ISS catching the light of the sun but it would have drifted at least a bit in the 7 minutes I had been watching it.

Oval shaped object circled around directly above, then dipped down, changed form, became obscured by blurry air and disappeared.

Oval shaped object was probably 8-10 ft in diameter, and was first observed at cloud height (maybe 1000ft?) in Hillsboro near the Quatama area. The object circled around directly above for maybe 10-15 secs in broad sweeping motions, then dipped down toward southwest direction, appeared to change form into a narrow vertical cylinder, became obscured by blurry air and disappeared. I initially thought the object was going to drift out of view over a nearby housing building, but the form change to the blurred view sequence all occurred with the object in sight before just vanishing altogether.

The oval object had a trapezoidal hockey puck look at first sight- with a white rectangular window of some sort visible that appeared to be halfway up the sides that sloped inward toward the top of the object. Due to the spinning, there may have been other details that were not observed.

The puck form appearance was visible for 25-30 seconds. The form change and blurry air sequence that followed the broad circular sweeping motions all happened within a second and then it was gone.

No sound observed, no visible means of propulsion could be made out. Hillsboro Airport is nearby, so planes, private jets and even fighter jets are pretty commonly heard and seen, especially during the annual air show weekend. No other aircraft were observed during the brief window this puck object was observed.

I was looking out my 2nd story window at night and saw what looked like a star in size and appearance (not the shape, but like a star in the sky) it was erratically moving about with no clear pattern, and the speed it was moving and changing direction was most definitely like nothing I had ever seen, it continued going on like that for about 45 minutes, then it just vanished.

Truangle tracked for 20 minutes headed west

At approximately 17:35 on December 28th, 2020, I was heading home from Ham Radio Outlet on SW Pacific Ave in Portland OR on Tile Flat Rd westbound between SW Scholls Ferry Rd and SW Farmington Rd to my home in Forest Grove OR. After passing the intersection with SW Clark Hill Rd I noticed what appeared to be three bright white lights appearing to mark the outside corners of a solid object at about 25 degrees above the horizon. I would estimate the object to have had about 100 feet between each light on the bottom side. There were more lights along one edge of the object. I was unable to stop on that road to get any pictures.

I turned onto SW Farmington Rd heading west. I went through the intersection at SW Road Bridge Rd and could again see the object. By this time, it had lowered to about 18 degrees above the horizon and was quite noticeably further from me and continuing to move slowly away.

I turned onto Highway 219 northbound towards Hillsboro and drove for about 1 ¼ miles and was able to find a safe place to pull off the road. The time was 17:48. The object was visible about 8 degrees off the horizon just above the coast range mountains. I was able to get a little over three minutes of video of the object. The camera I used was unable to get a consistent clear image, but it appears to clearly show at least two of the three corner lights and a couple of the back edge lights. The one closest to me was the brightest with the rest being visible, but dimmer. I tried pointing to it for people driving by, but apparently I was unable to catch their attention to stop and view it. After I stopped the camera, I tried to reach it with a 5 mA blue laser with no reaction. I was able to see it periodically for about the next ten minutes as I continued on my way home, but then it disappeared below the horizon. The sighting lasted from 17:35 to about 17:55.

Below is as close a rendition as I could recollect. Reflection on the incident reminded me that there were lights along one edge, but I cannot clearly remember the exact configuration of those lights. I believe they were round as well.

Bright, triangle shaped object near Jefferson College in Hillsboro, MO

I was driving south on HWY 21 in Jefferson County. I had just passed the Old Route 21/Schenk Rd exit. The object was glowing very brightly, and initially I thought it was an astronomical object, such as a planet, because the size of the object at that point was too big for a star. I'm relatively knowledgeable in astronomy, and with the time of day, the date, and how sunny it was, I immediately ruled out that possibility. Furthermore, over the approximately next 15 seconds, the object grew in size to about a dime. I have no way to know the actual distance or elevation, but it had to be around a mile, and I would estimate it was about 45+ degrees above the horizon (i.e., approximately southeastward from the Jefferson College campus). The object was glowing brilliantly with silvery light, and at this point its triangular shape slightly resembled a passenger airliner. However, it was pointing directly straight up, which I couldn't reconcile since it didn't make sense. I've had an interest in airplanes and space travel since childhood, and I'm relatively proficient with identifying basic types of aircraft. I was trying to focus more on the object; however, it was shimmering, and I was in rush hour traffic (speaking of which, given the time of day, there had to be other people that witnessed this object). At this point I spotted what was most likely a fighter jet (it was moving at high speed at altitude and producing a substantial vapor trail) approaching from the southeast. I immediately decided to dismiss the glowing object as some type of aircraft, figuring a military exercise must be taking place. Then I spotted another jet (with vapor trail) approaching from the north. I realized the two fighter jets were converging on the spot where the unknown flying object was located. I returned to the object, which had once again shrunk in size to resemble a star. In fact, as I watched, it continued to shrink into a tiny dot, and then disappeared altogether. This all happened in such a short amount o! f time ( maybe 30 seconds -- plus I was in the midst of rush hour traffic on Hwy 21) that I had not yet considered that the object might be of extraterrestrial origin. However, immediately contemplating the way it disappeared, I realized it was due to accelerating away at an incredibly high rate of velocity. The fighter jets looked like they were moving at a snail's pace compared to how fast the UFO had vanished. Incidentally, I have dream premonitions, and I've been experiencing an unprecedented number of premonitions the past few months. Furthermore, a few days ago I dreamed about an alien aircraft crashing into the earth. I could care less whether or not anyone other than my wife believes my account. I've posted it here because I figure someone else witnessed this event, and they might be inclined to "google" it, as I was.

The balls moved fast, at the same pace, was spaced out the same amount of space, and new balls kept showing up on the end of the line. There were 35 balls of light counted and an unknown amount before the counting started. After 20 or so minutes, the straight line of lit balls moving in a straight line, dissapeared.

Hovering, Slow-Blinking Light Object Behind Clouds Studying Us From WAY Up

I was helping a friend move his car from my parking lot. As I walked out into the night air, I suddenly stopped in my tracks and looked up (I still don’t know why or what reason I did that) as my friend continued walking. It was that strong sense you get when someone is looking at you that drew me to look up, I think.

(I don’t know which direction, like NW, SE, etc. …sorry, I’m a girl) – but I can tell you I was in Hillsboro, OR, in the Orenco Platform District. Though its light(s) were very dim at first, my eyes locked on it immediately. It was way too high up to be a plane (and a few did cross underneath as I stared). It blinked at me slowly, as if acknowledging that it was seeing me (or watching the area). The light strobed from soft white to yellow to blue and red, in random order. It was stationary, hovering, but it would jerk to its left or right in a millisecond, then up or down, but for the most part, remained in its general spot high up in the clouds.

Then I started noticing other lights just like it in the clouds, in the periphery. Together the lights formed a gigantic circle, outlining some kind of enormous craft half-hidden behind the clouds, and just…surveying. I sat out there for a good 45 minutes and it continued to blink and slightly jolt and return to its position. And it was clear there were many others with him…or it. It was eerie but absolutely mesmerizing. I did take pics and videos with my iPhone but they aren't great.

Three witnesses among family--First sighted on the way home, starting with two in a far distance, and continued as we pulled in the drive. Two triangular shaped crafts circled our complex about 5 or 6 times within 20 minutes. One had seven blinking lights and the other had only three; the one with seven blinking lights was leading the other craft the whole time.

At one point, the leading craft approached a normal commercial airplane and disappeared, jumping from above to the left of us in around one second. They then went around the back of the house and completely disappeared. Aircraft noises separate from the crafts themselves were heard, possible reasoning behind circling such as watching or chasing them.

We got out and saw three “fireballs” (orange - seemed to be radiating slightly - not just a light dot) moving from north to south at medium speed. Not planes, not meteors. One disappeared, then the next, then the next.

Each one slowly dimmed until they were no longer visible. There was one plane in the vicinity which seemed to be moving in the same direction. We got at least two videos, but they don't do them justice. They look like plain, small dots in the videos. In real life, they weren't so abruptly shaped. You might say there was an aura or haze.. There was no trail.

I've seen youtube videos showing three dots in this very same formation (closest is lowest, second is highest, third is in between). Running car may have started revving a little harder/rougher.

Bright white object high in the sky over Hillsboro, Oregon.

We were working out in front of our house, and I noticed an object high in the distance, hanging motionless in the sky. I told my husband and son and we grabbed the binoculars and started watching it. It did not move, and if it did, it was extremely slow to where you hardly noticed it. 2 other people going by in a car stopped and asked what we were looking at. They got out of the car and also witnessed it. Through the binoculars it was extremely bright white. I drew a picture of the shape. I also took some photos and a video but it was so high up, my cell phone just cannot get a great shot of it. It hung there about 15 minutes and then disappeared into the distance.

Metallic object hovering over Hillsboro Oregon for an hour

Was outside in the backyard, and noticed a metallic highly reflective object in the sky to the south of my neighborhood. It really didn't move much, it just hung there in the sky, no sound at all.

Through the binoculars I could see it was an irregular shape, but definitely some kind of metal reflective object. We live near a small airport and there were airplanes flying around the area at the same time. They must have seen this thing?

I took a video of the object and some photos. After almost an hour in that one spot, it just disappeared. I didn't see it leave, it literally just disappeared before my eyes.

Metallic Orange Ring Shaped Object Over Hillsboro Oregon

I was working in the backyard and looked up and noticed an object in the Western sky above the roof of my garage. It was shaped like a ring or a doughnut, with a large hole in the middle. It was a metallic orange color that reflected light as it moved in the sky. It was completely silent and slowly moved horizontally against the wind from North to Southwest across the field of view. It did not change elevation as it was flying and made very strange movements. For most of the time I saw it, it was flat, but then suddenly it would flip up so you could really see the ‘O’ shape of it and I could see right through it. As it headed further Southwest out of my view, I ran and got my husband so we could both go out in the front yard and watch it from there. He also saw it and we stood there watching it for another minute or so. It got smaller as it went further West and just disappeared.

I by accident photographed with a digital camera a single grey saucer like object with ridges and an oblong portal

The night of the sighting the weather was a low cloud cover and medium to high wind. There was a moon but it was not visible that night and was far to the east at that time. I am a public works Inspector and was documenting work a contractor was performing on a signal pole. I was looking up at the work on the pole and the sky beyond the pole was dark and no image in the sky could be seen with my normal vision. After taking a digital picture of the pole it was immediately noticed that an image appeared in the background. The digital camera caught a single grey saucer like figure. I continued my normal schedule of work for the night and later went back to my office to download the photos. On my computer screen it was clear that the object had form, shape, distinctive ridges on the outside and an oblong portal. This photo was taken completely by chance whereas myself and eight others working that night were not aware it was there.

I was observing the passing clouds, and their formation: wind speed about 10-20 mph, some of the clouds appeared to form rectangles. As I was watching, a cloud immediately in front of me disappeared behind it was a large rectangular structure with three large, what appeared to be oval windows
With a white covering, as the sun was behind me. The structure was a copper color, the oval windows had what appeared to be an oval bead about them. I could not tell how large the structure was because no reference points. In less than a blink of an eye a cloud completely covered the structure.

Cluster of glowing orange triangular crafts slowly move together in silence above the city rooftops.

I stepped outside on the way to my car in the 7pm darkness on 2/15/15 in Hillsboro, Oregon. My eyes caught a glimpse of some lights up in the sky as I faced south. I was quickly amazed to observe a cluster of 9–10 glowing orange triangular (isosceles) shaped objects that I would describe as having a burning quality of glowing orange.

The orange glow turned to red glowing at the back end of the object. I first thought they might be some type of burning debris falling towards the earth. However, I quickly ruled that out as they were all uniform in shape, size and consistent in their orange glow intensity.

Although the size of these crafts could be compared to a private airplane from my viewpoint, they did not look like planes or helicopters as they had no head or tail lights and were absolutely silent as they sailed fairly low above the city rooftops. I am not a person who goes around looking for UFO’s by any means, but I must admit I was a bit mesmerized by these very unusual glowing objects.

I got in my car quickly and decided I would attempt to follow them, but as I got in and backed up to turn out of the driveway I looked up again and just like that they had all completely vanished. They truly were unlike anything I have ever seen and I am certain others had to have seen them as well!

Traveling from east to west, 10 craft traveled at high speed equally spaced.

They passed in front of Cassiopeia, glowing red with a pink radiant center. At one point, they shifted position, one by one, much like in the 1980's video game "Centipede" when it was avoiding an obstacle.

The look of the individual 'craft' was reminiscent of what was recorded during the Phoenix Lights.

2 Large bright orange. red tailess extremely fast moving balls wth same point of ogigin but moving in oposite directions within 33 mins.

At 22:22 while standing on front porch, we saw a bright round object that looked like a fireball without a tail approximately 1/4 to 1/2 the size of the moon or a better comparison would be an actual basketball about 15ft above you. It was Bright orange/red. It traveled in a north east direction at an extremely fast speed. We thought it may be some type of aircraft crashing.

We waited but there was no signs of impact or noise associated with what we saw.

We contacted local law enforcement and after they checked surrounding counties stated that there were no reports of a crash or any reports of military activity. Afterwards at 22:55 we saw another object with the same description but traveling in a south west direction with the same starting point as the first sighting. We looked up various web sites to see if there were any kind of meteor showers for our area of vision and there were none listed. We then called the NUFORC hotline.

Flashing star split into to separate stationary objects.

Noticed what appeared to be a flashing star in the northeast sky. After a minute or two it split into to lights. One appeared to be triangular in shape, the other was directly in front of/on top of it and was crescent shaped.

The both flickered orange, whit and some blue. There also appears to be lights going back and forth between the two objects. Both objects have remained stationary for about 20 minutes now.

Airshow 2014.

I saw five smaller white circular lights slowly moving vertical. They were about 200 ft when I noticed them. They then started moving around slowly like as if it was observing something. Could be a drone watching the airshow that weekend, but when the would hold perfectly still and then take off I was a little curious.

7 red lights

This occurred on 4th of July, coming home from watching fireworks. I know because of this, what we witnessed could be easily dismissed. But the sightings were spread over the Hillsboro area, and uniform in appearance.

We saw red lights stationary in the sky. There was no distinguishable form other than the lights. I first saw three of these lights in the north, each at different altitudes from our perspective.

They faded from view, only to have two more float up from above the horizon (tree line and surrounding rooftops) into the sky.

These lights quickly blinked out. I thought these probably were lanterns, the kind with little candles in them. But then I observed two more lights in the south, already very high in the sky.

The color was a vibrant ruby color, not likely candle lit. They had a slow pulsating light that very in intensity. These lights were only visible for a few minutes before they faded out.

There were no noise. The moved like they were floating. If it were two or three objects like these I would dismiss them. But there were seven that I witnessed in two different directions, roughly five miles from where I viewed them. Really unusual.

I have never seen anything like it before.

Two Vertical Strips of Lights

At 7:45pm on Wednesday, February 26, 2014. I was driving home with my three year old son and eight year old daughter. On the right side of the sky, I seen a vertical curved strip of 5 orange lights distantly in the sky. They stayed on for about 2 seconds.

Then on the other side of the sky I seen another vertical strip of 5 orange lights curved towards where the other lights were, light up. Both sets of lights were the exact same distance away, they did not flicker or change their position. They were a mirror image of each other.

My eight year old daughter asked me what they were. I had no idea what to tell her. The second set then went out and the first set came back on, then that one went out and the second one came back on for about 2 seconds, then went back out again. Each time they lit up they never stayed lit for more than 10 seconds each time.

I pulled over turned on my flashers and watched and waited. There was no sound associated with these lights, a! nd the road was unnaturally empty of traffic and people, even considering the time of day. Nothing happened, so I pulled back out behind the first vehicle I'd seen sense I pulled onto the road, a truck, and continued to drive. Less than an eighth of a mile down the road the first set came back on again, same location, same distance for about five seconds.

The truck in front of me slowed to almost a stop and I knew that they had seen it too. The truck then turned on its flashers drove slightly down the road some more at a slow pace, then pulled into a small closed restaurant and just sat there. I drove by the truck slowly and the man had his head sticking out of his window watching the sky. That was the last time the lights lit up and I continued to drive home stunned by what I had seen. I have never seen anything I could remotely come close to calling a UFO, but I have no explanation for what I seen that night.

My three year old still talks about the lights in the sky and my eight year old fully believes that she saw angels that night.

Dull black triangle with 4 lights moved quickly overhead from horizon to horizon

While sitting on the back porch of a friends house i saw a large, dull-black triangular object move very quickly overhead from the southern horizon to the north. It caught my attention because of the odd shape with 4 lights and how quickly it moved. I observed it for a total of maybe 15 seconds. The first few seconds i was trying to determine if it was a plane; after i realized it was triangular with no wings i tried to determine if it was maybe a cluster of shooting stars or some other explanation, but it became very obvious just as it was moving directly above me that it was at a low elevation and a solid object.

As it flew directly over the top of me i was amazed to hear no sound at all. My friend was unable to see it as well as i was because of trees blocking his view, but he agrees that he has never seen anything (satellite or plane) move that fast from horizon to horizon without making any sound at all. Since he was only able to see 1 of the 4 redish l! ights he though it was a satellite, however he quickly realized it was moving far too fast for that to be the case.

I probably would have convinced myself that i was seeing things if i hadn't actually watched it from horizon to horizon without taking my eyes off of it once.

Bright light above coastal range observed for 20 mins

Driving west on US26 from exit 65 (185th) immediately noticed very bright light in western sky over coastal range. Sun had set fully and sky was purplish but no stars were visible (not even faintly). This was 10 times brighter than a single star and seemingly 5 times larger (tho it was clear we were viewing it at a great distance).

The light was stationary or moving very slowly. At the beginning of our viewing I would estimate it at 45° above horizon; by the end of our sighting 20 mins later it seemed more like 20° above horizon after which we drove into trees and lost it.

It was not a plane as we saw a small engine pass by (3-5 miles away). Later in sighting, stars did come out so we could compare both light sources (they were not the same). It was too large for helicopter.

We took photo and video with iphone 4 but they only show a speck of light.

This may be unrelated but upon arriving at the coast an hour later we saw and heard the last three loops (15 mi! n intervals) of a lone military jet circling out over the ocean with our small northern beach town as the eastern edge of that loop.

2 groups of 3 flying objects over Hwy 26 (over Glencoe Rd Exit to Hillsboro Airport) flying in a south easterly direction. All crafts had 2 distinct RED lights; one blinking, one not. The groups were about 3 min apart and one of the objects appeared to descend somewhere over Glencoe Rd.

The all moved quite fast and were completely silent. I lost track of them in the moonlight somewhere around the Hillsboro Airport area.

My sister and I were looking at stars in a clear dark sky 30-40 minutes after an airshow at Hillsboro Oregon Airport. Someone noticed what appeared to be a fast moving satellite traveling almost straight overhead from south west to north east. I was explaining how objects remain in orbit when the object appeared to stop then move in obviously controlled maneuvers.

We continued to watch for what seemed like one or two minutes as the object made seemingly impossible changes in direction. It made 90 degree corners, tight "S" turns, circles and at one point seemed to brighten in color just for a second like a spark from an arc welder. The object then returned to its original trajectory until it was out of sight.

I am an amature astronomer, a pilot and I have seen many satellites and aircraft. What we saw was very clear, too high to have been an airplane and appeared to do things that if manned would not have been survivable.

We saw three amber balls of light appear at four minute intervals and move south/southwest then fade and disappear

Last night on the 4th of July my husband and I were laying in bed watching the fireworks out our window, which faces east.

At 1046pm we saw a bright glowing ball of amber colored light appear high in the air.

At first we thought it was a firework, but then it didn’t descend, rather it started moving towards the south/south east.

We thought it strange, but possibly just an odd angle on an aircraft, but there were no blinking lights, just a solid amber color and VERY bright. Too bright to be a star. As it moved to the south/ south east at a very good clip it faded and disappeared.

Four minutes later another one appeared in the same spot of the sky moved in the exact same direction and disappeared.



At this point we jumped out of bed and started to watch to see if another would arrive. Precisely four minutes after the previous one another one appeared and moved the exact same way. All in all three shapes that all "appeared" in the east, moved south/ southwest of Hillsboro, Oregon at 1048pm, 1052pm and 1056pm.

Three blinking lights, high in the night sky. Conducting what seemed like "games" of tag. Incredible speeds and incredible turns.

I was out in my front yard, talking on the phone with my best friend. It was approximately 11:30 pm and the night sky was absolutely clear and you could see hundreds of stars. I noticed what I thought was a shooting star but it blinked, so then I thought it was some kind of aircraft. I realized in just a second or two that there were three objects alike, in the same general area of the night sky. All three were darting here and there, many times turning on a "dime". More than once, making a 90 degree turn. As they danced around a large portion of the sky, they would blink realy quick, sometimes. But not constant. They seemed to almost be playing "tag". Their speed was phenomenal, and much faster than anything I am familiar with. Plus, they could change direction in a blink, and "we" have nothing that can do that, at that speed, to my knowledge. I was describing all I was seeing to my buddy Gary, and we were both trying to come up with an answer th! at made sense for what I was seeing. I sometimes did not talk when he was asking me questions because I was entralled with what I was seeing.

About two or three minutes (maybe less) into watching this, they "zipped" away in different directions. I kept talking with my buddy and kept watching the sky. About four or five minutes later, I observed one of those same objects, heading north at an incredible speed. Behind it but far back was an obvious airplane, probably a military jet because of its speed, going in the same direction. I had the impression that it was trying to catch or keep track of the "object" in front of it. The airplane was going really really fast, but was "dusted" by the object in front of it, which seemed to be traveling at approximately 1 1/2 to 2 times the speed of the airplane. They both disappeared to the north.

When I was observing these three objects in the beginning, they often would blink really quickly, a white light with no discernable colors, but would not constantly blink. The blinking was very fast. Faster than helocopters of airplane lights blink.

But sometimes they would not blink for a second or two. When they were not blinking, I could still make out an object in the direction of travel at any given moment, which appeared to be a dull grey or silver in color, streaking.

These objects were very high in the sky. What I would describe as "outer space". I can not explain how I could see them when they were not blinking, as there seemed to be no light other than that which blinked. Maybe it was a reflection from the moonlight. I don't know.

I have never before observed something I could not explain, prior to this. I served 8 years in the U.S. Marine Corps and 4 months in the Navy. I am 56 years old and a retired Cleveland police officer. I retired as a Lieutenant, and I was recognized by the U.S. Congress (108th Congress) for my service and career. My buddy who was on the phone with me at the time, is currently a working police officer in Cleveland.

I have spend 24 hours or so, replaying in my mind and recollection, all of what I observed last night, and can not come up with a logical explanation. I have told no one except my wife, who is visiting our son in Texas, and my buddy Gary.

I will add that in my area, we get a lot of military aircraft that conduct manuevers above our home. There are usually two but sometimes three, always in the daylight hours, apparently practicing. On one occasion, my wife and I actually observed one of the planes shoot an object, but we do not know what it was or where it went. This shot object disappeared into some clouds. Every once in awhile these military aircraft break the sound barrier and rattle our home. We just assume these military jets are from Wright Patterson AFB, which is not to far from us.

Oh, one more thing. When I was observing the three unknown blinking objects, there was absolutely no sound. When I observed the one streaking north, it was also silent but I could hear the loud coming airplane that was way behind it, going in the same direction. My "feeling" is that the airplane was a lot lower in the sky, than the object it was following behind.

I don't have anything else to add. Please let me know if you get any other reports frm my area, during that same time period.

I am just amazed and confused. I need glasses to read but my long range vision is very good. I can not come up with a logical explanation for what I observed.

After a series of turns in my car I looked again and saw that the lights hadn't moved and was amazed to see them suddenly blink out. Therefore - whatever it was had been stationary for 3 mins. at least - and wasn't an aircraft coming into land. All I saw were extremely bright white lights.

colorful pulsating ufo over Hillsboro Oregon [jellyfish like!]

I let my dog out at about 12:30 am and looked up to the sky at the stars. I live in Oregon, so this time of year, you don't get to see the stars very often-It was a beautiful clear night. This "star" was just too strange-It seemed too close to the earth, and I could plainly see it pulsating with vibrant colors. I ran into the house to grab my digital camera, and began filming. It did some amazing rotating, and moved several times over the next two hours. All in all, I saw five of these in the night sky, but none as close as this one, and then this one bacame a pinprick pretty fast. This was the best footage I got.

What do you think? I see that I'm not the only one out there seeing these in the sky. I don't know if it's an actual extraterrestrial vehicle, or a government vehicle, or even an entity but all I can say is that is NOT a planet, that is NOT a helicopter, and if you've watched this full screen, you will see it rotate into three distinct parts. Please [politely] let me know what you think of this. My husband and I have been fighting ever since, because he insists it's a planet whose light is refracting thru the cosmos. Phooey. That's no planet! Like I said, it came closer and then became a pinprick, and then came closer, and moved left and right over several hours. A UHO unidentified hovering object, if you will! =)

Brilliant light hovers over mountain

We've seen this extremely large, bright, glowing light on three occasions past week, the most recent was this morning and it was alarming! The object hovers silently over Caesar's mountain which is located close to our home.

Caesar Mountain is 3,323 feet above sea level, and the glowing object is suspended well above the summit the majority of the time it is visible. At times the object will dip below the tree-line, then reappear minutes later high up over the mountain and in a completely different location from where it disappeared! We've tried to use binoculars to get a closer look, but can't distinguish a shape. The binoculars do, however, sharply bring the intensity of the lights into focus.

The lights on the object will glow a brilliant white, then dim. It also has a brilliant blue haze within the white light.

We were alarmed this morning when the light "winked out" and suddenly disppeared after hovering high over the mountain for almost 30 minutes, then abruptly became visible miles away over a ridge. It briefly shined intensely, and discharged what looked like a beam of light from underneath the object. It actually (briefly)illuminated the trees beneath! It then shot off with a remarkable acceleration of speed and disappeared from our view.

We've tried to find a rational explanation for this object. It's most definitely not a star, and we've also ruled out headlights from vehicles on Lobelia road as the binoculars proved that the object is far above the treeline most of the time. The object is silent and there is no audible aircraft noise from rotor blades or engines, so we're positively sure that it's not a plane or helicopter.

There is a small airport in Lewisburg, WV which is located about 30 miles away in Greenbrier County. The aircraft traffic that utilizes that particular field consists of small jets and prop aircraft. The noise they make is audible when they fly over our area. Caesars Mountain is quite close to our home, less than three miles away, so it stands to reason that we would be able to hear any noise the object emitted-if it were a conventional aircraft.

In addition, the conventional aircraft traffic flying over our area has visible flashing red and green running lights. The object we witnessed does not.

Sept.11, 2007 Sighting happened between 9:30 PM and 10:30 PM EST State Route 73, north of Peebles Ohio my husband and I saw rising in the Northeast horizon four very bright lights stacked on top of each other in a vertical fashion. They pulsed independent of each other in a random series three times. They all took off in different directions with what seemed to be sparks flying behind them faster than any airplane or helicopter. My husband at first thought they were comets but they circled back over the house again. Two of them seem to stay together while the other two flew into the woods across from us and the other over the back of our house. We could not hear a sound except where ever their location was, the dogs in those particular areas would start barking. Our two dogs were barking and they were in the house.

We have lived in this location for a short time. My father has lived here for the past twelve years and he claims he’s seen the same type of ‘stars’ many times. Most people in the area blame the goings on with an Air Force Base over thirty miles away. This area was much closer.

Witnessed 14 lights moving erratically accross the Texas sky, over one hour period.

In the last hour myself and 2 of my son's have witnessed 12 different star looking lights moving, flying erratically across the sky in various directions, but at very high altitudes. They were very similar to the space shuttle we witnessed last week. These lights were all seen at different times, all within one hour. Two were witnessed at once traveling from north to norteast. They were of considerable distance apart, and I could not be sure if they were traveling together. From my location I am located approximately 75 miles south of DFW airport, and directly under the flight path from Dallas to Houston, San Antonio, and Austin. We get alot of air traffic here including the big helicopters I hear are headed for President Busch's ranch just 50 miles sw of here, as well as various other aircraft in the very large sky I am privy to every night. In the last week we have spotted approximately 25 unknown flying objects, and we have witnessed these lights off and on for the last 5 or so years but only with the frequency of about 2 or 3 a year. These ufo's are called such because the erratic flight of these lights. They frequently stop, start, veer left and right, speed up and slow down frequently. The light can travel across the sky as quick as 30 secs. or so, and take as long as 5 mins. I have always been a little skeptical as to ufo's, for I have all my life looked to the stars. Now I'm convinced, and as I have been writing this my son has reported seeing another two more lights.

Unusually large & bright white light returns for a fourth visit

I was sitting about four feet from the window and noticed an extremely bright white light shaped like a bell in the southwest sky. It was about 4 1/2 thumbwidths from the horizon and remained there for about 45 minutes.

It was at least 20 times bigger than the biggest star and about 30 times brighter than the brightest star in the sky.(I remained inside for most of the sighting and could not see any other stars or planes through the window-only this light).

I was watching when it started descending to about 2 thumbwidths from the horizon and "floating" west. It took about 15 minutes to move so far west it moved out of sight. There was no sound associated with it.

The sky was clear and the temperature was about 38 or 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

I have seen a similar light three times in eleven days. On October 31 a relative of mine who lives about seven miles northwest of here saw a white light about the same size and intensity. She went inside and came back out about 30 minutes later and it was gone. The sky was clear and the temperature was about 55 degrees Fahrenheit.

Extremely bright white object floating in sky with light rays radiating in all directions and changing shape several times.

I had a similar sighting on October 18 around the same time at night. This time an extremely bright light was spotted through a window as I was sitting about 6 feet across the room. I immediately went outside.

The light was in the SW sky about 4 thumbwidths from the horizon. I flashed a flashlight into the sky in the direction of the object. When I did that the light changed shape many times. It went from a vertical line, to sideways chevron (>), then it turned into a square and finally into a triangle and back to a circle.

It appeared to have rays of light radiating in all directions from it which could have been an optical illusion, although the rays disappeared within 20 minutes. When I first went outside, every dog in the neighborhood was barking. The light appeared to pulse after I flashed a flashlight at it. It also morphed into a triangle multiple times-the morphing happened for the first 15 minutes.

I saw five airplanes fly in opposite directions above and below it with one looking like it nearly collided with it. After about 25 minutes it began to dim and had very slowly descended behind a tree and within 30 minutes it had floated down and to the west too far to be seen from my vantage point. There was no sound associated with it.

I saw a similar light this morning at 7am in the same part of the sky but dismissed it as a star.

The sky was clear and the temperature was about 40 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit. The nearest Air Force base is several hours away, an Army base is 3 to 4 hours away and the nearest commercial airport is an hour away. This light was 10 times bigger than a star and probably 20 times brighter.

I am a former teacher and currently provide homecare to an invalid with multiple health problems. Therefore, I act as a nurse in certain respects.

My husband and son saw the light as well.

Two orbs seen hovering in sky.

The light from the larger craft was so bright, I noticed it while sitting on my couch and looking out the window, which was 6-8 feet across the room. I knew it was no star.

I went outside immediately and stood watching it for at least fifteen minutes. The larger craft was so bright I could not discern a specific shape other than round. It was in the southwestern sky and appeared to be a couple miles away or more. The lower one appeared round and either was changing from white to red or was strobing. They seemed to be at the same altitude as a small plane flies. (I do not know anything about planes or altitude).

My husband and son also observed them. Other than the lower one appearing to strobe they did not move. The bottom one grew dimmer but they remained in place the whole time. I thought at first that they may be helicopters but there was no noise whatsoever.

After watching for at least fifteen minutes and they did not move, I convinced myself that they must be stars. However, my husband went outside about 45 minutes later and they both were gone.

3 triangular white lights a few hundred feet above treeline and relatively close distance

Clear night, Turn onto East New Market Road and off in the distance I noticed 3 Triangular white lights which appeared to be one half to one mile away maybe three to eight hundred feet above tree line directly east. They caught my attention as I have a large security light and these were some what brighter. At first I thought they may be aircaft landing lights as Airborne express is 25 miles north of my home. Frequent fly overs late at night are the norm. I also have worked there and these lights were spaced to far apart to be a aircraft. ALso as close as they appeared I saw no wing lights and no noise was heard as should have happened with the estimation of the distance from me. NO operations go on at Airborne this time of the week. I thought maybe it could be a training flight from there and got out of my car to await the flyover. Suddenly they just disappeared. THis is in a rural area and I heard a number of dogs barking off in the distance.

Three bright lights seen in sky

Here is what we observed...

I was traveling on US 50 going into Hillsboro at about 2:00 am and noticed a bright orange-ish light to the left of me (towards Wilmington). In my van, I also had with me my two daughters ages 12 and 14 and my niece, age 13. We saw numerous airplanes, which were flying to and from Airborne in Wilmington (I know this because I used to work there), but we saw these three brighter lights that stood out. Two quickly faded out, but there was one left that was the brightest. I stopped my van on the road to observe this light. It never moved but it "twinkled" at times, but remained bright. It was a pretty clear evening out, mabey a few thin clouds. After observing it while parked, it then faded out and was gone. We waited for about 10 minutes to see if it would reappear but it did not. This light did not look like any other star. This light looked too bright to be a planet. It was approx. the size of a peanut at arms length.

I am guessing it could have been flares, but who knows so we thought we should report it.

On June 26, 2004 while observing some persistant contrails me and my wife observed some high altitude stationary orbs which I photographed with my sony mavica 300. While I tried to snap some stills I ran in to grab my video camera which I put on a tripod and just filmed in the direction that we spotted the orbs. In reviewing the video there is two very visable white orbs that appear from the trail and then accelerate at an unbelievable rate of speed. The video has trees in the background, has birds that fly in the blurfo and one lense refraction. The orbs are none of these and the video is amazing as it shows it pop up out of the trail and then make a right angle exit that defies belief.

Orange-ish colored light balls appear (probably flares)

My daughter and I were sitting out in our minivan waiting for it to warm up, the night air was very cold and it was very clear outside. We were looking north-east and we saw a total of three (seperate times) orange-ish colored light balls appear in the sky and then fade out. They appeared to be approx. the size of a pea compared to the tip of my pinky finger at arms length. This would last only about a minute or two. There were a lot of small blinking lights near and around these objects we saw (more than likely the blinking lights were military beause we see them all the time). We heard no noises nearby but these were way off in the distance. These orange-ish balls could have been flares that the military use for practice, but I just thought we would report this incident anyway.

Metalic sphere about twice the size of a commerial airliner.

I saw a metallic sphere in the westerner part of the sky. It appeared to be very high in the sky; my guess would be about 30,000 feet. It was about 45 degrees from the horizon. I was playing tennis at the time and pointed it out to my companion, who also saw it. I would say it was about twice the size of an airplane. An airplane flew went right by it, so that's how I gauged the size. From my point of view, the plane flew right below it. (The plane, by the way, was leaving a chem trail.) The object didn't move for the time I was out there, which was about 30 more minutes. After I finished playing tennis, I went inside (I live right by the tennis court), got a little telescope and looked at it. Only now it was dark and it was glowing. It could have been glowing the whole time, but in the daylight it looked metallic. In the telescope, you could see the round shape, which rules out a bright star. All I saw was a white sphere; no details. OK, at this point, I was thinking, is this a real UFO? Before I though it might be a weather balloon, except I would think a balloon would move with the wind. It was in the equatorial plain, so I wanted to rule out Venus or some other bright planet, so I went back inside to check. There were no bright planets in that part of the sky at that time. So, after I ruled that out, which took a few minutes, I went back outside, but now the object was gone.

Floating bell shaped object with pure white lights tinged with silver angel or ufo?

On the early morning of February 13, 2003, we were driving along a dirt road in the middle of cottonfields. We are familiar with these roads and drive along there occasionally just to enjoy the ride. While riding down a straight part of this section of dirt roads we observed an orange glow behind us following at a distance and the car headlights were dimming by themselves. I was driving and it felt like the car was held to the grounds by a magnet and didn't want to move. We thought we imagined it so we drove back up the road and affirmed that there is no light source that could be seen from behind on that road. We turned back around and after a few seconds the orange glow could again be seen following us. In the meantime, there appeared a circle from the ground which encircled our view of the moon. There were thick whispy clouds blowing in quickly, in a matter of seconds. We went around a curve in the road and up to a clearing. For some reason I backed the car up and my friend said, "Oh my God, look at this! You are missing it! I jumped out of the car and flying 50 yards away from us and desceding to the height of the treetops was a bell shaped object completely covered in round white lights, separate but close together. The light was a pure white with the effect of silver mixed in. The object floated slowing just beneath the treetop and then started ascending back toward the way it came from and then off to the right at and flew across the trees toward Highway 20. The object seemed to float in a wobbling fashion for just a moment when changing from the descent to when it ascended. In other words it hovered in a wobbly way. The object was completely silent. I am in the habit of taking my binoculars with me. When I looked through them the object seemed to be alive, a living flying object self illuminated. I am pondering, angel or ufo?

On my way south on Highway 55 from Hillsborogh Ill. I saw a configuration of bright flashing lights in a circular pattern about 34 to 50 yards in diameter hovering about 4 stories above the ground.Imediatly before seeing these lights i saw a bright ball of light above and in front over the highway. It seemed to fall a little way and then burn out like very large flare. Then Ilooked to my right and saw what at first resembled fireworks. Bright white, rapidly flashing lights. First I realized the the lights were not falling and burning out like fireworks. As my line of sight changed do to the road curving I could see that the light were aranged in a very big circular patternand were hovering high above the ground in one place. They never moved and eventaully they were obscured by the landscape. There were a lot of cars on the road and I know Im not the only person who saw it. I would very much like to know what it could be.

fire in the sky

it was pretty much just a bright star-looking light shining right above some trees. it slowly got dimmer and dimmer until you couldn't see it any more until it suddenly grew brighter and bigger very quickly. it turned a sort of reddish-yellow. basically like a big flame in the sky. it initially took on the shape of a cylindar, but then became more like a cresent moon, as if implying a sphere. After a few minutes at this intesity, it again grew dimmer until it was lost from sight. And like before, it "returned", growing both brighter and bigger once again. it repeated this for about ten minutes before finally growing dim and disappearing for good. my whole family saw it. it wasn't a plane. nor anything else i've ever seen. it wasn't a surprise to me that seconds after it had vanished, a single jet flew directly over where it had been, turned around, and flew away. hmm....

A bright flash of white light shot across the sky in an instant with no sound

It was like a flash through the sky. I didn't really have time to make out the exact shape of the object because it moved so fast. I have never in my life seen something move that fast and it was bright too. It left a bright streak in my vision, so that when I closed my eyes I could still see it. The other two witnesses saw something similiar, though there is some disagreement on the color of the light. I felt that it was a white light, and one of the other witnesses claims it was more yellowish. But we are all agreed on the fact that it flew from one end of the sky to another in half a second or even just a flash. It was like a bolt of lightning was shot horizontally across the sky. One other thing is that it made no sound. It is hard to say how far away it was from us, but it was definitely close enough to where if it was an airplane, we would have been able to hear the engine, but this thing made no sound whatsoever. Both of my witnesses are credible, reliable people with good jobs and nice families. This is

Large Yellowish/Orange Lighted Object(s) appear three different times in covering a span of about 60 + seconds.

Bright Light high up in the sky. Yellowish/Orange. Much bigger than a shooting star.

Was moving southward once it appeared and then completely disappeared for about 10-15 seconds then reappeared just as bright but slightly lower to the horizon then the first time seen. It vanished each time like it went behind clouds; however there were no clouds in the sky. A clear sky, of which one can see the stars very clearly.

The second viewing only lasted about 10 seconds and vanished just like the first time.

It reappeared for the third time but in a different path to which it was previously moving and much further away like it was a totally different object. The appearence was exactly the same. It stayed the same brightness for about 5-7 seconds and vanished. The size of the light was very large. It did not blink or change colors at all. The windows of the vehicle were closed so whether it had sound, we could not tell. There were other planes in the sky at the same time so we hope someone else had seen what we seen. Truely amazing and we had never seen anything like it before!

I was on my back deck with my 2 daughters in Hillsboro, Oregon when I viewed what looked like a bundle of balloons floating from the Southeast sky. I told my daughters and wife to come look at the large balloons floating away. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that they didn't look like balloons but rather a bright triangular shaped object with rounded areas on each angle rotating on an axis. I watched the object for half an hour before it was out of my view. The course it took was from my East to what appeared to be above the oregon coast at West where it separated into 2 objects and then the 2 objects turned North then Northeast and kept getting a little higher and farther as they disappeared from my view probably above central Washington state.

I had just exited a residence and happened to look up into the sky as it was a very clear night. Upon turning my eyes skyward, a very bright, white light caught my attention. It looked like a star, but very bright, brighter that anything I've ever seen in the sky other than the sun and moon. It was west from my position, at an azimuth of about 50-60 degrees. It shone for about 10 seconds in the same position, then faded away, shrinking in size and diminishing in intensity until it was no longer visible, as if it were either simply disappearing or traveling away in a straight line at a speed great enough to leave the atmosphere within seconds. I observed the area for another 10 to 15 minutes, but no further activity was noted.

Strange light in Hillsboro, OR (1 week after same type of sighting reported in Hillsboro by other witnesses.)

Early Saturday morning of May 26th around 0100, I went outside for some fresh air and gaze at some stars. It was very nice outside so I went back in to tell my girlfriend to come out and see a very beautiful nightsky, since we're both avid stargazers. She came out and I went back inside for a few minutes, as I watching TV, she ran in the house to grab the binoculars, saying she's seeing strange lights flying around. She ran in again and told me to hurry up and come out. OK, OK I said to myself, probably a airplane or something. I waited for a commercial to come on and went outside. She excitedly gave me the binoculars and pointed to the direction of these lights. Before raising the binocs to my eyes, I saw a couple of flashes in the distance, low on the horizon maybe 20 to 30 degrees up. As I looked in the glasses, sure enough, a flashing & dancing light, blinking reds, whites and blues. The direction we were looking was a SSE direction from our patio. It was flashing on & off changing colors and moving so erraticly, I knew right away I was seeing something strange, not an airplane, a star, or planet. We're both amature astronomers and look at the nightsky alot, we both never seen anything close to this! My girlfriend had been watching this object for about 10 minutes before me, and I observed this for about 10 minutes myself. The way this light was moving around was so strange, blinking and showing up in a different direction, but staying in 1 general area the whole time we watched it. I strated getting dimmer towards the end and slowly sank below a distant tree and disappeared. We both are clueless on what this was, a definante UFO dancing under a very beautiful Mars and flashing in and around a rising Sagittarius constellation. Just Incredible! I thought about this websight right away since I reported a fireball a few months earlier. Low and behold! Checked the May 2001 reports and saw a report of a light seen in Hillsboro, OR by 3 witnesses on May 20th, word for word described exactly like what we'd seen (on May 26th) We could'nt believe it. They reported having a videotape of their sighting. We don't have any photographic evidence, but sure would like to see their video! Other witnesses said they seen the object in the vicinity of Farmington Road and 210th Ave. Thats the exact area we were seeing our sighting, we're loacted by the area of Minter Bridge and River roads, a couple of miles from Farmington Road. Again, really need to see this video! Thanks

3 of us watched UFO for over 1hour by Hillsboro, Oregon last night instead of the Sapranos! very bright flashes and rainbow effects!

Last night as the Sapranos came on HBO, ((name deleted)) my wifes son said look at that light out our second floor living room window. It looked like a small airplane was in the sky with landing lights on. Location South of Famington Road by like 5-20 Miles and South of the hills in the back ground before hillsboro metro. (Say go left for 10 mi. from Farmington at 210th) As I saw it I told him I thought it was a plane and went back to watching the show. THEN, he said oh my god look at that, THAT IS NOT A PLANE! I looked and saw the light suddenly get wider in the sky like 10 airplane landing lights side by side and it was at like a 25 degree angle in the sky! It was flashing as bright as an arc welder and looking like a giant crack in the sky with an arc welder showing through from behind! Then it got small and dim once again. Then it faded out and came on in an area that was across the sky and this time had a dim red light that pulsed dim then bright. It was moving very slowly towards the original spot and then it kinda started to glow brighter and the red light faded and it kept repeating this dimming out of site on a clear starry night and then appearing in another spot and then flashing very brightly not like any thing you have ever seen in the air. Like sparks in an arc welder at say maybe 2000 feet. I ran for my video cam and started to film what this light was doing as it seemed to have a kinda revolving black circle or spot that went around it and the whole thing started to change colors like a lava lamp of rainbow colors very bright. At sdome points the lights were almost to bright to look directly at. This whole color thing lasted for only a short few seconds, but made us all gasp as did the bright welding flashes. I said enough and ran for the van with my cam. I went out to Farmington at about 206th and started West. I stopped after turning left onto a side road. I could see it about 5 miles away between me and the hillside. It was not just blinking kinda red and looked a lot like a helicopters lights but made no sound on this very quiet country road. Suddenly as I pulled over up the road (I thought I still had the cam on stand bye but I later found I was too shocked to hit start button.) I stopped to see a better cam shot and it pointed a direct red light more in my direction that looked sort of directional. Then it let got dim white and let out a very bright! white b urst of light that made me gasp! I went on but couldn't get closer and finally lost it among the skyline. PLEASE ANYONE THAT SAW THIS TELL WHAT YOU SAW! WE HAVE THE VIDEO IF YOU WANNA SEE IT, email me at ((e-mail address deleted))

Driving down a busy street in Hillsboro,an acorn shaped craft caught my eye. I looked at the road and it disappeared.

My 2nd sighting was a "acorn" shape.

I was driving to the store about a mile from my house when I saw this "acorn" a few hundred feet above the street. I had a "circus like" feeling --happy -. This was my 2nd sighting this summer. It didn't appear that anyone saw what I saw. The reason I'm reporting these two sightings is because I feel no one else saw these craft.

I also feel that I saw these sightings because I was so in tune with nature at that time (my garden & all} and it appeared that no one else saw the "acorn" on the busy street. It was low but when I glanced away to check my driving and looked back it was gone. My point here is - maybe one has to be in a certain frame of mind to see these - .

Largo red object sitting over a ridge. If indeed it was hovering over this ridge it was very large. Well over 100 feet. It attracted my attention because it did not move, not at all. I got binoculars, could see no details other than large and bright red. Had dinner, along one with guests. Object still there. It had not moved an inch. Looking with glasses it started upward slowly at frist and very fast as it dissipeared.

Are there other sightings of this type?



NUFORC Note:

Date in 1973 is approximate. We wonder if this is a hoax report, alluding cryptically to the Sun in the daytime sky, although we recognize that the Sun does not move swiftly across the sky and suddenly disappear. Witness does not indicate whether he managed to obtain a photograph during the some four hours he witnessed the object. PD

No saucers no lights Just 6 olive dull green humanoids about 7ft came to Hillsboro Missouri and studied me and left

I was aprox. 4 at the time this happened to me, I was with my mother visiting my grand parents out on Jarvis road in Hillsboro, MO.

We were use to grandpa getting up every night to get snacks, so never thought much of it if we heard doors, even being little we wouldn't.

I was laying on my back next to my mom that night Ill never forget as long as I am able to think and breath ill remember it as if it were last night. I heard a door open, knowing my grandmas house well I knew in my little mind it was the breeze way door from the sound it use to make. It would have been around dark mid morning .

This twin bed my mom and I were cramped into was straight visioned to see down the hall. I lifted my head slightly and seen these tall forms in a single line walking soundlessly straight at my mother and me, where we lay.

I was so afraid to move. If a 4 year old could have heart failure, I was having it. Just as I got the nerve to try to bump my mom or scream, it was like them being all around us at the bed in a operational formation. Somehow, they didn't let me do anything at all. I could move or talk or nothing it was like they calmed me in my mind only not like a mom would more like very matter of fact with firm thoughts, they never made a sound at all.

I remember my eyes being able to move watching them stand over us. Seemed like they were studying me as I think back on it, they touched, or seem to touch, places of my joints. But I didn't feel them touch me; it was like I just new they were.

So hard to explain but then they all the sudden looked at one another and left in a single line just as they had walked in. My mind goes blank at this point. The next thing I remember is I wake up next to my mom, and am frantic to tell her what happened to me. She, of course, being a mom, along with the whole family, said you probably just heard grandpa get up and had a dream. I remember wondering why when something like this happened to me, they didn't want to know, or wouldn't listen.

Thinking back, I wonder how can a little 4 year old dream in 1967 and see detailed humanoids that have a eerie glow of greenish mist about them with huge black eyes same form and color and glow as would be said now in 2009. How can a little girl know this when the only Aliens she has seen at this age is my favorite martian. Some man with a fish bowl on his head. Well, I know I am not a liar or making up things now at 46 to impress anyone. I really finally just want to tell someone in hopes that maybe when I am gone and other things happen who knows maybe one of us and what happened to us or things that we saw will help someone out there that needs that little puzzle piece and if not it is alright with me as well, because they left me I feel better than I was before they came. I have because of them lived my life so much more open minded than I might have before it.

They were now I am guessing about 7 foot tall at least that .

They had a dull colored lime glow of misty look to them.

They had no visual ears , they had black eyes They're head was shaped like a smooth cone huge top small chin They had a line where the mouth would be but very dim impression They communicated to me seemingly with thought and was able to control me as well.

They not once made me feel threatened or took me out of that bed.

I would give anything to talk to someone else who has maybe went through this not all the bells and whistles and flying off with them but just they came and studied you and left.





((CORRECTION FROM A VISITOR TO THE NUFORC WEBSITE))

Hi!!

I was just perusing Kansas sightings (I'm from Manhattan) and noticed a report (ostensibly from Hillsboro, KS) at http://nuforc.org/webreports/071/S71132.html.

However, in the text of the report it states Hillsboro, MO. I checked Googlemaps and there is a Jarvis Road in Hillsboro, MO but NOT in Hillsboro KS, so I think this report is most likely from Missouri and not Kansas.
