One aircraft the size of a large truck had headlights

At dusk, before full dark. 200-300 feet off the ground, flying over the soccer field, and then the apartment complex. Looked like a 10 seater plane scaled down to the size of a very large truck. Could not see what sort of craft it was until it passed over me. Had 2 very bright oversized headlights and a flashing red light on top. Wings looked like they were angled backwards. When it passed over me, the lights on the belly were orange, pink, and a bright neon green. Wings were angled backwards, with the tips of the wings closer to the tail. It looked like someone who had never seen a real airplane built a small airplane. Slightly bulbous cabin area.

Orange light in sky

My wife and I were swimming late at night and spotted the object almost directly above us to the south. We spent some time admiring the object and I thought it could be mars, it had a distinct reddish-tan glow. It started to make erratic movements in a zigzag formation, almost like it was 'swimming' but random, unlike a helicopter or plane pilot. The object moved slowly but made sudden movements in random directions. We directly observed the object for more than an hour, around 11:30PM I got my Nikon d50 camera from my apartment and the object was still there but motionless. Through the entire direct observation, the object made a noticeable distance through the sky. We first observed the object at a high angle of elevation, then later it traveled south and lowered, and then traveled back north again. Stars could be barely seen at the time, but the object was the brightest thing in the sky by far. To our eyes, it almost seemed to be "doubling," as if there were two orbs separating then coming together again. Around 2AM, I went outside to see if it was still there and I couldn't find it again.

We could see passenger planes fly by, and there was a distinct difference in the lights and color between them. The object seemed to emit a haze or aura to our eyes, we both described the aura to be somewhat of an upside down crescent shape.

The provided photos were taken with my Nikon zoomed in at maximum. My camera is quite old: there are some rainbow pixel visual artifacts on each image, these don't represent actual objects in the sky.

When I finally reviewed my photos, it was shocking to see the texture and colors of the object. To our eyes, it was only visible as a dot in the sky that could be easily mistaken as a star.

Made strange movements then went 90 degrees right then 90 degrees left in about a second.

We were descending maybe 20K ft into Houston Hobby on AA from DFW. So guessing this was around Huntsville but could have been further North/South. I was looking out window from business class left side so looking East and saw an aircraft making weird movements. Extreme upwards then it moved 90 degrees right (East) then 90 degrees left. In one second. As if avoiding something. I’m not a pilot, but I have a phone almost 1,000,000 miles around the world and I have never seen anything like this but I thought I should share it. In or with the intention of sharing information I am not a conspirator or whatever, but I do believe in UFOs whatever that means, and this was one. I showed it to the flight crew and the captains are the captain and his partner and they didn’t want to have anything to do with it but they all said that is crazy.

While taking the dogs outside me and my husband looked up to look at the stars and watch the metorite shower.

Me and my husband were looking at the stars and we noticed 4 dots that looked like stars, they started close together then started moving away from each other. They spread out in different directions. one stopped moving for a minute then continued its course. One changed direction completly. The other two continued on their original course. All 4 dissapeared after about 1-2 minutes.

We saw more orb dots that looked like stars moving slowly for the rest of the time we were outside. The other ones we saw never changed direction or stopped so its possible the other ones were airplanes however they did not look like the airplanes we did see. The ones that im sure were airplanes have blinking lights the unidentified objects have no blinking lights and looked like silver orbs

On April 23, 2023 I was on a welding contract with Polaris which is located in Huntsville, Alabama. The room I was staying was about 20 miles west of the Polaris plant in Huntsville, Alabama. I was outside my room door smoking a cigarette when I noticed up in the sky what appeared to me at the time a airplane ascending, however in mid ascension the craft stopped and hovered , I ran back in my room and got my cellphone and started recording. While the craft was ascending it had different colored light, a really bright green, a very bright red a bright white light. The craft reversed direction and

Location details: The area where sighting occurred is residential

Shape: Light


Multiple lights around the southern sky moving randomly.

On March 14th, I sent a report about seeing lights in the southern sky south of Huntsville Alabama. Since then, I have gone out in my back yard and checked the sky for more lights moving randomly in the sky. Every night since then, cloud cover permitting, I have seen the lights. The sky in that direction is unlit. I have seen anywhere from 2 or 3 to as many as 8. These lights are spaced from the west to the east around Huntsville. Some of the lights are brighter than others and others are smaller.

In watching, they move randomly in a general area they occupy. At times they move rapidly and other times they seem to hover or move slowly. There seems to be no pattern to the movements. During times of slow moving broken clouds, the lights when covered by the clouds, seem to move to the nearest opening in the clouds. On a few occasions, there appears to be a small light suspended below the main light.

Last night, March 27th 2023, while observing the lights, one of them began traveling to the east from a southerly position and at the same time one in the eastern sky began traveling west to a southerly position. The east bound light eventually disappeared in the east and the west bound light settled into a position approximately where the east bound light started from. Both lights traveled quite a distance at a moderate speed making random movements. All the lights I have seen since March 14th do the same thing every night, moving randomly, in all directions, at times darting to a spot. I have seen these lights in the evening and in the early morning hours prior to the sun coming up.
On two occasions I had my wife come out to observe just to make sure I was not seeing things and she too observed the lights moving around in the sky.

Light moving erratically, accelerating rapidly and stopping on a dime.

While standing in my back yard at about 8:30 PM on March 14th 2023 and looking at the stars in the southern sky, one of the stars moved. I thought maybe I was just seeing some of the clouds passing in front of the star. I continued to watch, and the star moved again, moving side to side and up and down. I watched for a few minutes and then asked my wife to come out and see. We watched for several more minutes and the star continued its movements. At one point, a small light extended below the light (star) and remained for a couple of minutes and then went back up to the light. The light at one point accelerated very rapidly and stopped on a dime. It then went back in the direction it came from moving erratically up and down. Since then, I have seen the light almost every night and in the very early morning hour (3 AM) today March 20th 2023. It has appeared in the same general area of the sky each night. It appears to be higher than any cloud cover and higher than commercial high-flying aircraft that are lower than the clouds. The light was not moving like any aircraft I have ever seen.

After watching the object in the sky for around 1 minute, I started to video. While doing so, I was not watching their my camera, but still with my naked eye. After the object finally disappeared, I started to watch the video. At 32 seconds into the video, something "glitched" and only lasted a split second. I then began to edit/slow down the video and that's when I saw it. A grey object with what appears to be some kind of smoke emitting from around it. You can clearly see details on one side, and it doesn't look smooth. I did not see it land, but just kind of fade from sight.

From my back porch I was taking photos of the sunset and saw the green orb. It moved upward and went behind the clouds.

I am a retired Police Detective. I enjoy watching and photographing pretty sunsets just for my own enjoyment. On 7/22/22 I noticed there was a pretty sunset so I stepped out on my back porch to take photos of it with my cell phone. At 8:03 and 8:04 pm I snapped two quick photos of the sky. There was a single bright green orb in the sky that moved upward and went behind the clouds out of sight. I only had my phone set on photo mode and it was gone within seconds. I realize the time stamp is 8:03 and 8:04 but it was less than 60 seconds. I waited to see if it reappeared to try and video the object, but it did not return into view. There was no sound that I could hear; no streaks; it went in an upward direction not falling. It did not change colors and I saw mo debris.

They were silent, my friend made a video of them.

March 1, 2022, Huntsville, Ala., afternoon before dark….a friend told me to come outside and look at an object, I did and it was about 50 yards away, just above the trees. It moved to my left about 50 yards and stopped. This object looked about the size of a VW bug car, it was dark inside an orange ball shape light. As I watched this, another one, looking the same flew up to this one, they were about three houses away. Then one went to the front of my house and I went to and out my front door to look, it was at the end of my street and not moving. This one went back, next to the other one and after about 5 min., they both, side by side went east till they went out of sight. This was seen for about 30 min. The dark part inside the orange ball had the shape of a top. My friend took digital video of the two objects flying side by side and they were close enough to hear any type of motor…they were silent. The reason I tell you about this is that last night, around 9 pm I saw a similar sight…first one then a couple of mins. behind another one. These were going in the same direction but higher up and about a thousand ft. away, close enough to hear yet again…silent. To let you know, I see all manner of flying craft daily and nightly yet these are the only craft to fly silently seen to date. Thanks for your time.

Me and my father were driving south from Hazel Green, Alabama towards Huntsville, Alabama around 6:45 P.M central time.

Whether it was one object or seprate objects grouped together I am unsure. The cluster moved from east to west.

drone launching pyrotechnics

Earlier this evening at around 8:45PM-9:15PM local time I witnessed some type of drone craft over Redstone Arsenal visible from a neighborhood just Northeast of Gate 10. It had lights and flashers consistent with FAA regulations. The craft slowed to a hover and after a couple minutes it delivered a payload of what seemed to be short-burst comet-type effects that lasted 8-10 seconds with 8 or 9 projectiles that launched out and then back toward the vessel in a circular arc. After the initial display the drone returned back southeast, was presumably reloaded and then delivered the same payload to the same location albeit slightly closer to my location about 10-12 minutes later. I dunno if they are working on some type of pyro display for a corporate retreat or 4th of July celebration, but it was pretty darn cool-looking for the small effect as it was. If a bunch of these were synced up to a timed show and launched closer to the audience radius I could see it h! aving a nice affect in conjunction with a traditional pyro display.

I've only seen the inside of the craft. However, I ve seen numerous Terrestrial beings

Hello, I'm a Truck Driver. My fiance and I had just had a baby on 6/2020. As that year came to an end she really wasn't liking the brutal winter of North Indiana. Being that we had recently relocated there from GA. was very understandable. But, I couldn't just leave my job that I had just begun less than a year prior. So we made an agreement, I would allow her and the baby to relocate to Huntsville, AL and I would transfer down in the spring keeping the same job. It was a win win. Until one night as we spoke on face time, I sensed something wasn't quite right. She was a bit distant, and I would always have to repeat the question.Well it was 3am in the morning, maybe she's exhausted. Is what I said to myself until a shadow like fuzzy figure seemed to be crawling into my bed and climbed on top of her. I said hello like 3 times before she even answered back. At this point I'm like who the hell is that? Are you serious right now. She kept saying What? Who? What are you talking about? She turned the light on and walked around the room and said it better not be..... and stopped in mid-sentence as the phone seemed to drop and it sounded as if it was kissing and snorting like sound. I was so agitated at this time until I just hung up. I dropped load off in St.Louis and headed back to Indiana. She called and called but I wouldn't pick up for anything because I didn't want to have say anything that I would regret, regardless of what I was thinking. Now, the next night it hap I need again but it this time it was pulling her hair and it looked as if she was performing fellatio and seemingly unaware or very nonchalantly as if I wasn't asking "What the hell are you doing"
She would look back into the phone and say nothing, I'm not doing anything. I was so confused and upset amongst a million other emotions. Needless to say, when that weekend came, and I was going down to see what in the hell was going it seemed like it still was happening. Now I'm infuriated like this is so freakin disrespectful. To make a long story short, because I have a years worth. I was unable to see who it was because it was a Draconian Reptilian, now it's Grey's as well as other Dinosaurians, and insect Mantis looking ones as well. They literally live with her. I know this ad a fact, I have photo's, videos, and after recently striking one. They have had it out for my blood. I feel as if something is urinating on me at times. Spiderweb being spit in my face, and Bugs crawling a on me are just a few.
I've been hospitalized here recently because it felt as if someone had a pair of grip players on my heart. This is because they know that I know of their presence. As well as I'm filing custody for my child because I
dont think that her mother is able to shake herself out of the super. She's constantly getting manhandled and sexually assaulted on a daily, in front of thos kids. How do I know that you ask?, well her 5 year old told me, because she and her 6 year old daughters can see them as well. As a matter of fact the five year old is the one that told me where it was after I asked her who she was talking to. She pointed in a corner and I proceeded to punch in that direction. Not knowing that I actually was going to hit something. However, I did, and it squilled. Shocked...Yet equally amazed, I turned then said, "This is just too damn much for me". The crazy part about it all, is the fact that it was no compassion for me at all, as she comforted it by saying it's going to be ok. So yeah. Thats just one of the many. I now call them the Adam's Family. I Truly wish it was some way that You could fly out in order for me to let you see. I have a photo that I took and it seems as if they purposely did some form of hologram of such, or maybe it was a portal. But whatever it was, it definitely wasn't earth. I hope that we could speak soon, because as of now. I have no help, no one that will take this serious, except the hospital that's sending me these believable bills.

Saw hovering disc above Denny’s that vanished.

I was driving with my fiancé to the Denny’s in Huntsville on Highway 30. The sky had light, wispy cloud coverage and it was bright and sunny. As I crossed the I-45 overpass, I witnessed a stationary object at around 315 degrees northwest west above the Denny’s restaurant. It appeared to be 200-300 feet in the air, but its hard to estimate accurately. I will say it appeared to be in front or in between low hanging wispy clouds. We had a light rain the previous night. The object appeared black on the bottom and silver/mirror reflective on the top, but again, it was difficult to see details due to my distance from it. It hovered as I headed towards the Denny’s and I shouted to my fiancé to look and she ignored me . What gave me pause was the fact that I simply watched it vanish. It literally blinked out of reality within seconds of me talking about it. It looked as large as a commercial airliner in terms of width. The experience happen very quickly but! I’ve never seen anything like it. It didn’t look like any recognizable aircraft. It’s stillness was very zen, like it was just mounted perfectly there in the sky. I couldn’t discern any movement at all or see any exhaust fumes. I’ll make a drawing of what I saw.

Diamond shaped UFO 4 white lights on each corner back one slowly fading in/out white to yellow. Electric humming & unusual dog howls

First I heard this weird electrical humming sound and looked up at the sky and saw what I thought could be a plane. It started getting closer and was flying lower than a plane would, and the two people I was with started looking as well. It didn’t sound like the engine of a plane. I couldn’t take my eye off it the whole time and neither could they. It had 4 white lights in a diamond shape and the 4th light on the back of the diamond shape was slowly fading in and out from white to yellow. It wasn’t flashing the way a plane would. After it almost passes over us it turns maybe 25° right abruptly. Pretty soon after all the dogs around us (in three separate places) howled for a second or two and were silent. It didn’t seem like normal animal behavior so we left real fast. As we were leaving we heard a plane go over us and it didn’t sound like what went over us. The sound was also delayed from the plane but not from the UFO.

A flying object was seen traveling SW slowly in a straight line. The object had one red and two green flashing lights. The object instantly stopped with no deceleration and hovered for a few seconds and then sped off in the opposite direction towards the east again traveling in a straight line. It quickly stopped again for a few seconds and hovered again before speeding away at about a 45° angle into the clouds.

Saw 1 bright light that dimmed out & got really bright in an erratic manner, the movement was unlike a plane or anything Ive ever seen

I saw this right after it rained and the sun came out bright and sunny with pretty much a clear sky. Our city experienced a double rainbow and of course everyone was looking at it and took to social media (I say this because I might not be the only one who saw it but idk). But that's when I noticed a single, VERY bright light that was small (my first initial thought was a plane or maybe a satellite). You could tell it was far away. It stuck out like a sore thumb. The brightness of the light was different and that's when I decided to watch it because I've never seen something like this. From my perspective, it started to moved towards the rainbow. It wasn't moving erratically and not necessarily in a straight line, but instead in a smooth fluid motion regardless if it was gaining or losing altitude. And it was moving fast considering how far away it was. It's nowhere as fast as a shooting star but it was definitely way too fast to be a plane. Once it got to t! he rainbow, it stopped and sat motionless for maybe a minute or two. It then started to move back in the same direction it came from. Definitely never seen a plane do that. This whole time while I'm watching this light, the light was going in and out. Not flashing in and out, more like dimming. It wasn't sequential or in a pattern, you couldn't time it. It was completely random. Sometimes it would vanish for a split second up to a few seconds. And sometimes the light got brighter all the way up to an obnoxious bright. This went on for about 15 to 20 until I lost sight due to the tree line. A few moments later, I saw AN ACTUAL PLANE in the same general area as I just saw the light. The plane was very visible and I could easily make out the main components of it, as well as seeing and identifying the familiar flashing lights in perfect unison that all planes have. That's when I realized what I just saw a moment ago was 100% different, no doubt about it.

spotted flying object with flashing bright white light,then stopped remained there and desend downward

On Wednesday January 22nd around 4:45 pm I was traveling south on Memorial Parkway,when I noticed a bright white light object in the sky heading in my direction. It proceeded to pass over the area that I was near. Shortly afterwards I stopped at a local grocery store, while there in the parking lot I could still see the brightly lite object north of me. I noticed it was not moving but remained in a stationary position in the sky. I appoached a couple of people in the parking lot and pointed out the object to them ,they both thought it was curious. I then went into the store to get some groceries. When I was finished shopping I went back out to the parking lot to my car,where I noticed the object was still there in the same position. As I was putting my groceries into my car ,it started to move toward my direction. Then all of a sudden a flash of extreme bright white light occurred. As this was happening, the object started to desend into the tree line, after which I could no longer see it.

Two moving yellowish lights over Huntsville, AL at 10:30 pm on July 8, 2019.

In the sky over Huntsville or Redstone Arsenal, I noticed 2 bright yellowish lights and one blinking red light and did not hear any airplane or helicopter noise. The yellowish lights appeared to be moving slowly, very close but in different directions. After about 30 seconds they disappeared (not simultaneously, but separately).

It might have been some kind of a firework trail the way they faded from view, but it took a full 30 seconds for them to disappear and neither light moved downward.

After they were gone, I watched the blinking red light move toward the southwest over Redstone Arsenal toward the Huntsville Airport for an additional 30 seconds until it was obstructed from my view by a large tree. I continued watching for 10 minutes but never saw the bright yellowish lights or the red blinking light again. If I were to guess, I would suspect either some satellite-related event or two helicopters that turned on and off their lights too far away for me to hear them. I suspect the red blinking light was a satellight

Large ball of light!

Ball of light about the size of a basketball that darted down from the sky at an angle into the woods as I sat on my back porch. Weird thing... I know I wasn’t going crazy because my dogs saw it too! They immediately stood at attention on guard facing in that direction and wouldn’t move (almost like they were waiting for whatever they saw to make the first move).

Pulsating ball of white light.

Occurred: 04/04/19 @ 05:55A.M. CST Reported: 04/27/19 Location: Huntsville, AL Shape: Ball of white light Duration: 3.0 seconds

Sighting description: I was looking directly East at the sunrise, there is a building behind ours that blocks the horizon, so all I was seeing were the colors of the sunrise with no glare from the sun. Out of nowhere, a ball of white light descended, and then leveled off moving East, going away from me. From my vantage point, I would say the object was about the size of a “BB” held at arm's length to the eye, for lack of a better term it was pulsating and becoming brighter, making it look somewhat larger then back to smaller.

I cannot estimate its speed or altitude, but from where it first appeared, to where it finally went out of my sight behind the other building, I would say it came from an extremely high altitude. I've never seen anything like it before.

Thin, gray, wing-like object moving slowly south to north

While mowing the grass, I took notice of an object moving in the partly cloudy sky. The object reminded me of a glider with a very high aspect wing ratio (I would estimate about 25:1), and was a dull gray metallic color. What I could not discern was any sign of engines, propellers, fuselage, or tail. It was almost like a thick line, but slightly swept. It was moving slowly from south to north.

I observed the object for approximately 10 seconds before it went out of view behind some trees. It was only faintly visible due to its color, but my polarized sunglasses helped me see it better. I could not tell its altitude, but it was below the high cirrus clouds, which I estimated to be 20,000 ft based on local air traffic, but above the lower, puffy cumulus clouds. I tried and tried to see any other features, but there were none. If it was a glider (I have seen plenty of those) or even a predator drone (we live near the Redstone Arsenal), its fuselage would have been visible, but was not.

Based on my observation, I would place the wing span somewhere around 300 ft, tip to tip. I have attached a rendering of the object I saw to a separate email.

Green Light/Orb in Northwestern Sky in Huntsville, Alabama.

My wife and I were driving west on I-565. I glanced towards the northwest and saw a green light/orb studded then rapidly shoot toward the ground. It wasn’t at a high elevation either so I didn’t think it was a shooting star.

There is a US government arsenal and a NASA branch here. However, this happened over a populated civilian area.

Cat and mouse with triangular ship on Hwy 36. Whoa! Really wierd.

Going to Decatur on Hwy 36, beside First Christian Church, I saw a silvery triangular ship with green lights on each corner as it darted just 100 ft. over the tree line. Wasn't shocked; I saw a UFO in 1995, a large star-like one that came over our car. Deadwood, Texas. Huge and spherical with light from circular ports under the ship.

This triangular one I followed, like cat and mouse. No lie! It parked itself over the church and I got out to look. The following week I was there again, same time, and saw a larger UFO sitting on the hill beside the junk yard as you approach Memorial Pkwy. I thought it was a new tower with wide lights. Upon approach I saw a disk ship, almost black, with lights fanning across the front. Both UFOs sat motionless, hanging in the sky for at least five minutes before darting off to the south.

V-shaped Lights

I was viewing the clear sky this morning, as I was walking across the parking lot in Research Park. I was surprised to see a V-shaped pattern of lights going from North to South. There was one lead light and maybe 3-4 lights equally distanced down each side. It almost appeared that the body inside the object was translucent, it seemed that I could see through it. I heard no sound and it appeared to be effortlessly gliding across the sky. It passed over in five to ten seconds.

Saw ball of light move low to ground and back up.

Driving to work, I noticed what I thought to be a pretty, bright star. As I was looking at it seemed to grow in size. So I watched it more closely, it was definitely beginning to move. It first seemed to move towards me (west), growing brighter, but I turned north, and it continued moving in a west direction. It got so low I could not see it through the trees any longer. After about a minute it began to ascend and grew dimmer again until I lost visablity.

Above the skies in Huntsville.

I was on my way to work, coming off 565 West via exit 13 for Madison Blvd. I happened to look in the sky and saw a bright, white or silver disc-shaped object in front of some clouds.

From my perspective, the object was heading towards my right. My first thought was that it was simply an airplane, although it appeared to be moving a bit fast for an airplane. However, its smooth appearance, lack of visible wings or propellers of any kind, and sheer brightness, made me think twice about that. Having seen and watched many helicopters, I knew it wasn't a helicopter from its shape and the way it was moving through the sky.

The object disappeared from my view, being blocked by some trees, and I didn't think anything of it, until I saw it heading from behind the trees going towards my left (again from my perspective)

At that point I had to make a turn, which led to the object being behind me and I lost sight of it.

Two sets of tiny white objects flying in formation in bright blue sky

I observed two apparently high flying objects on 12/30/16 from about 2:41 pm to 2:45 pm , moving west to east. The objects, which were white, widely spaced, tiny pricks of light in an otherwise perfectly blue, clear sky moved in unison, with no visible difference in speed between them. They were barely visible to the naked eye. Polarized sun glasses helped make them much more visible due to their ability to darken the blue sky.

They moved out of sight to the east and moved in a very straight line the entire time of the observation. Prevailing winds were light and westerly. I photographed the objects with my full frame DSLR and was barely able to fit the objects in the same frame at 165mm focal length.

I may have been content to believe they were balloons, but, approximately 8 or 10 minutes later, the same, or very similar objects were observed moving from north to south in very close formation, they were right next to each other. They were observed for approximately a minute. Their track appeared to be exactly perpendicular to that of the original two objects (I had a house dormer to compare them against), and they moved in unison as the others did. The wind had not changed direction.

Me and my friend saw to very bright space crafts pass by my house while we watching the stars.

We were staring at the stars and we noticed what we thought was a very bright star (it was also twinkling) and about 30 minutes later it started to move towards the tree line. Then it was behind the tress completely and it would move in a random pattern until it came into the open sky and got brighter (it was changing colors from green, white, and red) then it got almost blinding bright and seemed to get closer. As it got closer it looked to be two space crafts, one big one shaped like a winged cigar shape and a second one trailing behind it that looked smaller and was shaped like a cylinder. It sounded like an airplane that was shaky.

When it passed by, nothing really happened after. But before the space crafts came by, me and my friend were talking about a previous account of seeing a space craft in this area. All in all, this was a very long experience and very stressful.

Dark, quiet, large, slow moving, V-shaped and low flying object (about 2,000 ft. from the ground) seen North bound into Huntsville, AL. Dim light, possibly reflected light, appeared to be on the top of the craft as it approached, but underside was very dark. City ground lights helped to illuminate the object against the dark night sky. Object moved at a constant low speed. About 3 minutes prior to sighting, a low flying helicopter had flown South bound near about the same flight path, but of an altitude of only about 900 feet from the ground. This is what brought attention to observing the night sky while smoking a cigarette. It was too dark to take a photograph or video of the object.

Saw something burning as it flew in a trajectory parallel to the ground, with pieces flaming out behind it.

My wife and I saw something burning and leaving burning parts behind it as it flew in a trajectory parallel to the ground. We've seen meteors falling before, but this seemed to be flying much more slowly, closer to us, and very large.

We stopped the car near our home in Owens Cross Roads, AL. The object or objects were in the sky to the east, moving right to left, south to north, at about 10 degrees up in the sky.

My wife got out with her i-Phone and tried to film it, but because it was so dark, the camera would not focus.

Towards the end of the trajectory, before the stream of fiery objects went behind trees in the distance, we saw one particularly big piece light up into a huge yellow flame. We tried calling 911 but they were too focused on their script and were no help.

We called local police, but they just said they'd "check into it." It would be good if other people reported seeing the same thing, and if we could determine what it was. We really hope it was not an airplane.


((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS))

We're near Huntsville in Northern Alabama, not far from the Tennessee border. Not sure whether someone in NC or Georgia could have seen what we saw...it would depend on the time. If they said 1:30 am, then it was probably the same thing (0030 Alabama (CST) time + 1 = 0130 EST).

What WAS that?

A saw a dark colored Cigar shaped UFO at approxiamently 7:30pm. I noticed towards my right the clouds looked similar to a UFO so i glanced at it for a few seconds. It was dark out; but, not quite dark yet and the clouds were darker than the sky. As i began to seat myself, I noticed something moving across the sky in front of me. My eyes were glued in wonder as it moved with glee across the atmosphere traveling left. It didn't make a noise which is why i almost didn't see it. It blended in with the sky like a 3D effect or maybe 4 or 5D. Whatever that means. I could not believe what i had seen. It was like it defied gravity and that IS what it did. It was amazing and wonderful to see. It moved through the sky like that was what it was supposed to do. Like nothing could tell it nothing. As if it owned the sky!! And there were no lights which made it even more unable to see. It was so smooth. IT DID NOT MAKE A SOUND!!! I am truly amazed. I thought I would never see this... I always "knew" they were true!! I now have my proof!! Case is closed. I was like, "What is that?" It was moving so fast but not like super fast just gracefully fast. I knew it couldn't be a plane or helicopter. Birds are that that big and it did not flap. I only saw it for maybe 5 or 6 seconds. I looked on for maybe 10 seconds more but i couldn't see it anymore though i tried. It vanished into the clouds and blended in so well. It was gone!! I did not want it to be. I knew it was gone. It was there. RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF MY EYES and it was gone!!! I cannot believe my eyes!!! I can not identify what it was and so is I have actually saw an UFO!!

My husband and I had just returned from a memorial service for our pastor's father. We got home around 8:30 and my husband had taken our dogs out. He called for me to come outside and look at something and when I looked up toward the mountains behind our house (which is a deserted land trust and state park), I saw a straight line of 5-7 slowly blinking lights with vague colors of red and blue. The line seemed at least 2 to 3 football fields long and moved at a constant steady speed. We could not see any other shape but the perfect straight flashing line of lights. It moved in a direct southern direction until it was out of sight.

My husband and I have never seen anything like this before and are both fairly common sense people but we are very sure of what we saw. My husband and I are well educated with him being a retired Army SFC and NASA engineer as well as an online missionary, and myself a retired successful interior designer.

We were quite fascinated and of course perplexed, but very sure of what we saw.

Drone or VTOL

Cross shaped flying object hovered anywhere from 20 ft off ground to 1000 ft off ground to where I could barely see it anymore. Came back and just seemed to hover and then swoop back and forth. Could be some sort of VTOL object. It definitely was to precise and covered vast area to be remote control or civilian. Perhaps not flying saucer but was some military drone.

Daylight-Saucer with cloud and two other lights p

I was on my way to work when I noticed something flying in the sky in the distance. I watched it, the sky was bright blue and sunny outside. I watched the whole drive to work and saw it did not fly in a straight line, it was saucer shaped and not a helicopter or airplane. It was highly reflective, I tried to take picture while on my way to work- I could still see it after I got to work way in the distance because the sun was bouncing off it so brightly.

When I got home and reviewed the picture I took, I noticed a cloud i had only slightly paid attention to before because it was the only cloud in the sky looked peculiar to AND--Next to the cloud in my picture there are two super bright lights with trails behind them. My picture of the saucer is so off in the distance you can't really see it bit upon examination the other two lights that I did not see while taking the picture are far more interesting.

I took a picture immediately after and the cloud is dissipating and the two bright lights are gone

Orange fireball in South Huntsville in the eastern sky for about five minutes, no sound.

Myself and two others watched a bright orange fireball in the eastern sky moving from south to north while sitting outside at night. It looked to be very high in the night sky, at least as high as the planes fly around my house.I had gotten up from my seat and just happened to glance up in between two trees and saw the object.

At first I thought it was a very large asteroid because of the size and brightness and yelled for my friends to come see. After about 30 seconds the object was growing in brightness and starting to slow down. Another minute or so passed and the object changed direction and started heading towards the east. At this point I took out my iphone to record the object but had a hard time keeping it in frame or in focus.

I did get about a minute of footage before I shut off the record function. The object continued to move off to the east at a slow pace before blinking out after about another minute.

Weather was calm, no ground level wind. There was a scattering of clouds in the sky and they looked to be moving from the SW to the NE.

Three orange orbs, not moving, in Huntsville, AL

I was letting my dog out in the backyard. I looked directly south about 20-25 degrees over the horizon to see 3 orange orbs in mid-air. I watched for approximately 15 seconds to see if they were moving then pulled out my iphone. My phone's camera wasn't able to focus on the objects, they then disappeared. The objects did not move, rise, or fall, they were stagnant, then were gone.

Location: Huntsville, AL, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Three yellow lights surrounding a central red light were seen on a black, presumably triangular shape flying low and silently.

As I was driving home from a friend’s house just after 4:00 am during the month of March in 2013, I observed an event traveling extremely low (just above the trees) and silently above my car. I proceeded to stop my car to watch the event. The location was Huntsville, Alabama on Whitesburg Drive between Byrd Spring and Four Mile Post Road.

I clearly observed three yellow-white lights in a triangular formation around a central red light. They were on an object (presumably triangular, though I did not have time to discern a clear outline) that I could observe because there were no stars visible between the lights.

There was absolutely no sound associated with the event, and I presume it could not have been any sort of conventional aircraft due to this fact and the altitude of flight (again, just above the trees on the corner at which I stopped).

The event passed slowly overhead until it passed out of view. I exited my car to look, but I could no longer see the event or any evidence of its passing. Although I cannot estimate the size of the event too accurately, it was well over twenty feet across by my best guess.

As a note, I do not tend to acknowledge the existence of extraterrestrials here on Earth, and I know of no sort of powered flight that could run so low and silently. This is why I refer to this phenomenon as an “event” rather than a “craft” or “object.” I can provide no explanation as to the cause of this event, however.

I am currently a student studying fields of natural sciences, so I tend to favor no explanation rather than one that is fantastical in my opinion. I am somewhat familiar with what I would categorize as “U.F.O. lore,” but I do not treat it as fact. I have never used illegal drugs, and I was neither on prescription medication nor was I intoxicated at the time of this event. This was my first and only encounter with an event of this type.

Amber light with circumference of light around it also. It moved fast,stopped, then bobbed before moving north.

My boyfriend and I were observing the sky when we noticed an amber light. It caught our attention due to the speed, and nature of which it moved. It traveled across the sky quickly before stopping and bobbing up and down before disappearing (or moving so fast we couldn't see) and reappearing much lower in the sky. There was a dim circumference of light around the amber light also. It stopped and bobbed for a few minutes more before receding to the north.

There was no firetrail or contrail. There was no sound that came from it. It covered 30 miles give or take in 5 seconds. The sphere looked to be 100 ft across. It was without a doubt in our atmosphere.

Red moving dot above Alabama on July 4th

Me and my cousin were sitting outside watching and shooting fireworks when I noticed a red dot in the sky.

It appeared to be moving at first in a straight line, but then proceeding to go backwards then it stopped completely.

After watching it for a second I showed it to my cousin and watched it do the same. After turning my head for a brief second I looked back up and it was gone.

Ten minutes later it reappeared and made the same awkward movements before disappearing.

About an hour later I took her home on the other side of town, only to see the same object again, which my aunt also observed.

My sister and I saw a 747 hovering in the air not moving forward or backward, just sitting still in the air about 1 mile away from the huntsville airport. It was a calm sunny morning. There was no mistake that we both witnessed this, no possible way it was an illusion bc it was only about 100-200 feet off the ground and not far away at all. I could not see what happened after we drove by bc there was a tree line along the road we were driving on.

Large orbs moving at a steady altitude and velocity

We witnessed a total of four occurrences of visitor activity on the 4th of July 2010 in the Lake Forest Subdivision of Huntsville Alabama.

At 8:50 PM we saw a single large reddish orange glowing orb coming from the south moving slowing northward; it was very low, maybe 250 to 300' above the rooftops. There was absolutely no sound being emitted from the illuminating sphere. We watched it for about 5-10 minutes as it passed over our neighborhood and then got into our car and drove to the gas station at the corner of Martin and Zerdt roads. We could see fireworks off in the distance so we sat in the car for about 15 minutes and watched.

As we drove home heading west on Martin Road, we saw a formation of 3 glowing orbs. This time I really thought, hey these things are extraterrestrial and I want to make sure there not hot air balloons or helicopters. So we slowed down to almost a complete stop, rolled down the windows to see if we could hear helicopter blades, but there was no sound at all. And they were not hot air balloons.

We had traffic behind us, so we had to move on and we are not sure where they went, but assume they continued to move northward as did the first one. We were sitting outside and then around 10 pm we saw one more solitary glowing orb, but at a higher altitude than the others and this one was either blinking, or something behind it was blinking and we watched it move northward as well, then the dog barked, we looked away and when we looked up again it had disappeared.

Then about 15 minutes later my boyfriend said, look at that satellite. And I said, where? Then I exclaimed, Wow, did you see that? He said I sure did, wow! We saw four distinct bright lights that looked like stars that were in a cluster which was kind of vibrating and then they formed into a line and just zip off into space on at a time very quickly. It made warp speed seem slow, they just zipped up and off into space and where gone! in an instant.

Neither of us had ever witnessed anything like this before. We believe that since the orbs were so slow moving and close to the ground there must have been a number of others who saw the same thing on that clear 4th of July night in Huntsville, Alabama.

For the skeptics, I looked up sky lanterns and balloons on-line and just wanted to let you know that there was no way the first one or the second set of three that we saw were in any way sky lanterns. These illuminating things were huge. They moved steadily and with a purpose. Not anything similar to a sky lantern and we were close enough to tell that they were not hot air balloons.

My boyfriend thinks they were as large as a VW bug and my estimate is a bit larger. They did not flicker and produced an energy glow that was supernatural.

This is the first time I have ever looked at a ufo site and ever posted any such thing.

We are both of sound mind and we were not under the influence that night.

I'd like to know if anyone else has seen large orbs so closely?

Thanks.

An object that ommitted a very bright light, almost looked like it had three lights on it

I was driving with my finance and son in the car towards property his grandparents owned. He had a trailer on the property and we needed some stuff from. On our way to the dirt road to get to the property I noticed a big bright object below the moon. I didn’t want time seem weird but it stood out more so, but I thought it was just maybe Venus because it was normal to see Venus kind of big during this time of year. It was brighter then Venus though and looked like it had three lights from it since it was giving off a very bright glow. It still has my attention though and I keep my eyes on it, since it looked out of the ordinary and I was just trying to reason with myself. When we got up to the piece of property, my fiancé got out of the car to get to the trailer. I was still watching this object trying to figure out why it was so bright. Then it started to move side to side, up and down, even looked like circles. I was alarmed since I was trying to figure out if I was out of my mind. I tried to debunk it too, but I was seeing planes in the distance flying and I could tell it was a plane too. But I could not tell this was a plane, it started to get closer then further away and it looked like it was flying at an angle to the left and tilted. It was weird. I told my fiancé when he came back to the car to sit in the driver passenger seat and look at this. He asked me, “Look at what?” and I replied, “Just come look.” He sits down and I point at the object and tell him to look. I asked him if I was the only one seeing this and he told me, “No, you are not. I can see it moving weirdly.” He left for a second trip and I told him to hurry since I was still alarmed. The object was still moving in a weird fashion and went out further in distance. It was still in the far distance and looked like it was searching for something. But we left at about 8:30pm and it was still in the far distance, when we hit the main canyon road we could not see it anymore.

We suspect Venus. PD

A "parked" 737 in the sky accompanied by an orb

Yesterday morning at around 9 am when I was driving to Huntsville, I saw a stationary 747 or 737 passenger plane parked in the sky about 100 feet above a field just to the right side of the road. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me at first because the car was in motion and I was definitely driving towards the nose of the plane, but as I got closer I realized that it was truly just sitting there parked in the sky.

To its right (my left) was an orb dancing around in the sky. It seemed to reflect the sky on all its "sides" and appeared perfectly round and solid. It was no bigger than a person would be if they were curled up in a ball.

When I realized that it was indeed parked in the sky, I pulled over and snapped a photo with my digital cell phone camera. It isn’t that great but I have it if anyone wants to see it, and I will try my best to get it to sharpen in photoshop, but the actual raw photo taken at 9 am on 1-9-09 is in an email I just sent to this site.

The exact location of the craft was approximately ½ mile north of the Toyota plant in Huntsville on Pulaski Pike Rd. I don’t know why it chose this location because there is only a field full of llamas and alpacas, some donkeys, horses and cows. There is also a stream near by with fish in it. Maybe it was surveying the area or something I don’t know.

But after I took the picture I was beside myself. Back in 2000 when we lived in Texas, the whole family (kids, me, hubby) saw the exact same thing. A large passenger plane parked in the sky, about the size of a 737 or 747, and it too was parked so low you could see every detail of its wings, engines, windows, paint job.

This one yesterday was painted with a silver grey bottom and orange on the sides (like a Northwestern Airlines plane). It had no "underbelly" rocket boosters or anything, there was no way in the physical world it could have been hovering because passenger planes that are made to stay in flight while moving at 600 miles an hour simply drop to the ground if they are! motionl ess.

About 30 seconds after I parked the car, it started to go away (I guess the occupants saw me?) It went slow for about 5 seconds then disappeared going in an upwards north easterly direction very fast.

Also, the sphere that was dancing around everywhere disappeared. Oh and the weather for the sighting was perfect, 100% clear sky, no clouds anywhere. 9 am, broad daylight.




NUFORC Note:

We spoke with this witness via telephone, and she sounded to us to be quite sincere, and quite credible. We have looked at the photo, taken with a cell telephone, and the objects is reminiscent of a swept-wing airliner. It is ambiguous, we believe, but the witness has volunteered to send NUFORC the same photo, after it has been "processed" by a photo lab. PD

Cigar shaped UFO's sighted and investigated as they traveled at a high rate of speed.

I was driving my car home from an outing at the college observatory and saw 12 cigar shaped UFO's flying wildly through the sky. They were moving from N to S and traveling at an extremely high rate of speed. The cigars were glowing and some type of glitter seemed to be falling off them. I could not obtain a photo or sample of any residues that may have been dispersed (widely). The next day I went back to the location and was unable to obtain any additional evidence for this case study. I intend to camp out in the area next week and observe the skys with my new digital camera system with tripod.

large white object at tree top level, slowly moves higher in sky as the sun comes up.

I get up very early in the morning ,and have my coffee on the back porch. For the past month or more there has been this large white object at tree top level in my neighbors backyard. It slowly start to move higher in the sky as the sun starts to come up. I have been watching this amazing event for some time now,and no one can tell me we don't have visitors from other worlds watching us. I wish the truth would finally come out, we have a right to know.

It was going so fast only the camera caught it it wouldnt have been seen with the naked eye. You could see where it left marks in the cloud it was going so fast. There was no sound or anything 3 witnesses seen it in the picture. It was leaving a trail behind it is how fast it was speeding of the object.

large triangular object near UAH in Huntsville, Al moving very slowly with no sound

I was coming home from work going down University Dr. east toward UAH when I saw in the horizon just above me in the distance two large bright lights. The lights did not appear to be moving or moving very slowly. My first thought was oh a airplane. But then immediantaly I said no that is not an airplane because the two lights are way to far apart to be an airplaine and there was no blinking light on it like airplanes have. The two lights were probablly 3 times the wing span of an airplane accross. I kept watching the lights as I went down the road and the two lights were fixed to each other and not making hardly any movement. Then I turned off university to go to sparkman and just as I was right near uah I looked up and ther was a huge traingle shaped craft above my head. It was grey and black in color and I could see it very clearly. It had a red light on the bottom. I kept traveling and as I turned north onto sparkamn I saw the lights moving to the northeast I could no longer make out the triangle shape I just saw the two widespaced huge lights. This event caused me to call the 3 local tv stations and ask if any one had reported seeing a triangle in the sky. The respone I got from all 3 stations was no. They did not seem to even want to know what I had seen. At this point I started to doubt what I had seen bec there was a lot of traffic on the road and someone else had to have seen it. The only thing that makes me think I did not just imagine it is that I watched it for about 5 min. before I actually was underneighth it and saw the shape of it. My impression is that it may be some kind of exp aircraft because we live right near redstone arsenal. The object was not making any really unsual movement except that it did not appear to move at all but hover or move very slowly and I heard absolutely no sound coming from it.

Rapidly moving object looks like it might impact ground

As I looked west and up, I saw a light moving rapidly through the sky. My first impression was that it was a satellite, but it was moving much too rapidly. I have observed the International Space Station and it moved very slowly, in comparison. The magnitude and color (white like that of a satellite) of the light of the object was constant, and there was no tail behind the object, nor trail left in the sky following the object. The object, at first, appeared to travelling roughly parallel to the ground, but as it moved away from me, it looked as though it had changed trajectory toward the ground and that it might impact somewhere on the Redstone Arsenal. No impact was observed. No sound was heard.

A small aircraft was flying from north to south at the time of the sighting and the object would have been visible to the pilot through the right-hand window. My vantage point is high above the city (approximately 600 feet) and visibility was unlimited. The sky was perfectly clear with good astronomical seeing conditions. I would estimate the object to have had a constant brightness of approximately equivalent to a star magnitude of 3 to 3.4.

It is possible that the object was a meteor, but its characteristics did not convince me that it was.

Bright green light(s) traveling east over Chapman Mountain.

I was traveling east on I-565. When I neared the top of Chapman Mountain, I saw one or two bright green lights in the sky. The object moved very fast toward the east and looked like it might have also been descending. I watched it move through the sky until it disappeared from my sight. It kind of looked like one shot from a roman candle firework, so I almost dismissed it as such. Then, my wife, who took a different route home, told me that saw the same object from a good distance north of me on Chase Road. From her description, it seemed that she had an even better view of the object than I did, which makes me question whether it was a firework.

Location: Huntsville, AL, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

I looked toward the west and witnessed a blue-green, round, hazy light moving rapidly from north to south.

There was a very thin cloud layer in the sky that did NOT obscure the stars. The object was above this layer and I attribute its hazy appearance to that fact.

The light moved rapidly from a higher to lower altitude and seemed to follow a trajectory that made an angle of about 30 degrees with the ground. From my vantage point at approximately 1250 feet in elevation, it appeared that the object was about 5 miles, or so, distant, and located over the Redstone Arsenal. The object covered a large arc of sky in the very short time in which I viewed it.

The object gave the impression it would impact the ground somwhere south of my location. I can see about 40 miles due to my mountain-top location. I waited for several minutes for a sign of impact, but saw none. The Alabama counties in which an impact could have taken place are Morgan and Marshall. No sound from the object was audible.

I had attributed my sighting to a meteor, until a local newspaper ran an article about a similar sounding object that was seen a day later at a much earlier time (11/28/06 at 17:28).

Search lights, flares, rockets, missiles, and aitcraft are unlikely explanations for this object. Humidity in the air would make search light beams visible and the shape of the spot on the clouds would have changed due to the angle of the light source. The object maintained constant shape. The apparent altitude and angle of sky covered would likely indicate supersonic velocity and probably a sonic boom, especially if the object had to avaoid collision with the ground. The sudden appearance and disappearance of the object, and its constant luminance would also help rule out the other possibilities I mentioned.

Two bright lights which appeared to be stars. They slowly faded out of sight.

I observed what I thought were 2 bright stars at about 290 degrees and elevation of 35 degrees. I wondered why the 2 stars were so bright and after about 30 seconds they began to fade moving straight out into the heavens. within 20 seconds their size and luminance went completely dark. There were no clouds in the sky and I heard no noise. the distance between them was about 3 inches at arms length and on a horizontal plane.

This was observed by me when I went out on my driveway to get the morning paper.

Large bright blue object was seen hovering above the tree line north of my location shortly after 9PM central time. Object was moving in a box like pattern stopping at each corner for a few moments before moving to another position. Object vanished by dropping below the tree line then moving vertically at an incredible rate of speed until it was no longer visible. It was witnessed by two people. Within 10 minutes of the sighting four military craft were sight. They flew over head at a very low altitude and at a very low speed. These aircraft were interceptor/fighter type planes and were easily visible and very loud.

this report you may put in file 13, but before you do. Please take the time to read it. All that is in it is correct, I DONOT believe it all. But I must be honest and share it. I have detect a ufo in the ground and it has been here a very long time. I have found only (1) thing that is evidence that the ufo was there. Over time what I found was that one ufo was only one of a number of them. because the metal is detect in complete shape I have to say that the metal was a alloy that was like ours becouse any other metal would be found in pieces not complete like what was found. I do not know why I found it but I did. becouse it is complete it is like a blueprint and you can tell how it would work . It being the large one is so large you would think that it would hold a lot of there poeple, but when you look at the print , you see that only the core of it would hold life. the outer part it like ballast tank, this allows it to go to the bottom of water. It has in the core (7) riser that lets it rise without vacum damage it. This design shows that they use all of nature to do things. What I see of there design, If they have it they use it. In march 0f 06 I saw one that was flying . It was only a cicle of light very bright< but looking at it this llght must be very cold to be this bright. becuase they donot have anything that donot use , why have the light. We donot think that they need light to see so WHY HAVE IT. I now know more about ufo,s then I need to know. but am having the same problem that most people have that has see them, Is it because we are unwilling to say that they were here and still here, I donot know but I am happly to know that I have the luck to studies them, there is a lot to know but I understand you are not going to read it all. But I did share with you this fact. That is all I can do for you

Up close flying low tonight and 2 others within a month!

It came from east and was headed towards Madison, going directly over Huntsville, Alabama. It had white lights all around the side facing me and made no noise at all. It was very low in the sky. Not much higher than the large tree tops it seemed. It was dark and I was outside walking my dog in the front yard, when it went from one end of the area across to the other heading towards Madison. Which a friend of mine spotted one out that way a few days ago while driving in that area of which he also lives.

This is the 3rd one I have seen in a months time. The other 2 which were round, I saw at different times, first in Tunica, Mississippi and then here in Huntsville, Al. I saw both of them at more of a distance and they were much higher up and these would zig zag briefly, reappear, repeat that performance and then disappear all together in the day light. The 2nd one was over the Arsenal area here in Huntsville which I saw from my back yard! I believe some of these ufo's are responsible for the illnesses that are going around this area at the time, this past month! The first was like a flu but with severe depression like nothing I have felt or seen in others before. 2 weeks later there is one like a flu or bronchitis hitting so many people.

I was shown a picture in a stone about 3 years ago that there will be a massive UFO hovering over the Arsenal area in Huntsville with a smaller round one coming out of it.

It seems there are good ones and then there are others, maybe a war between them will occur? "War of the Worlds"

Location: Huntsville, AL, USA

Shape: Oval
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

Intensely illuminated, sphereoid object moving far too quickly at a 70-75 degree angle into the sky.

The object was observed in the night sky at the foot of Brindlee Mtn. roughly above southbound Hwy 231. At first site, the object was located above the trees about half a mile east of the road (estimated perhaps 300 ft. above ground level on the slope of the mountain). The object appeared to be roughly round, very slightly elongated, and from my vantage point seemed to be composed of bright blue-white light. The intensity and color of the light was inconsistant with all fireworks, street lamps, yard lights, and other such sources of illumination that I am aware of. Within the 2-3 seconds I had a good view of the craft, I observed it to hover above the tree line for an estimated 1/10th of a second and then rapidly moved upwards and westwards, crossing the sky in front of my vehical in approximately 1 second. From my vantage point, it is my opinion that the object moved in three dimensional space in the same way that an aircraft takes off a runway, only much more rapidly and at a much sharper angle (I estimate the angle would have been roughly 70-75 degrees and the trajectory did not change as it moved). As the object moved, it also changed color. The blue-white quality of the light changed to a greenish color and then to a reddish orange color as it gained altitude, and decreased slightly in size proportionally to it's altitude. The object seemed to vanish completely at the end of it's approx. 1 second trajectory, and the final location of the object I estimate to be at a substantial altitude (at least 5,000 ft, though that is a very conservative estimate) and probably at least 1 mile west of southbound Hwy 231 (also a conservative estimate).

A slightly audible sound followed about one second behind the object, and I can only describe it as a Doppler Effect-type sound, though very faint and high pitched (I would compare it to the scream of a fighter-jet engine, only much higher pitched with a very unique undertone).

It is my opinion that this object could not possibly be an airplane or other man-made craft, as it began too close to the ground and progressed at an extreme angle and speed that I have never seen or heard of in a human aircraft. The only object I know of that could travel from close to the ground to that alititude at anything nearly approaching that speed would be a rocket of some sort, and the intensity of illumination and the speed of the object is not consistant with any amature rocket. So far as I know, there are no housing or human habitation sites in the area that the object was hovering over. The local area is nearly completely covered in hardwood forest. My geological survey map of the area shows no unusual geological phenomenon. There were no powerlines or cell phone/radio towers located in the area where the object originated. The atmospheric conditions were humid, but clear. There is no chance that the object was a star or planet, as it appeared closer than the horizon and was too close to the ground, and from my moving vehical, the object changed perspective in the way that a three dimensional object would be expected to. The object could not have been a meteor because it ascended into the sky, while a meteor would have descended.

As for my background, I am a native to this area and I am an archaeologist, currently investigating an excavation site on the Flint River flood plain. When I saw the object I was returning home from visiting friends in Huntsville. I had not imbibed any alcohol, nicotine, narcotic, or any other mind affecting substance. I was not affected by fatigue and I have no history of mental illness, nor any physical or psychological cause for hallucination. I am reporting this because I can think of no other logical conclusion for what I saw than to label it a UFO.

CHROME TYPE "CIRCLE" SEEN FROM PLANE - WAS BELOW US, CAME UP TO OUR ALTITUDE THEN WHIPPED AWAY

hello, HUNSTVILLE ALAAMA AREA / APPROX 6:10PM (CENTRAL TIME) / I WAS LOCATED IN PLANE AT 6000 FT LOOKING OUT WINDOW / ROUND CHROME COLORED BALL / SIGHTING WAS BY ME FROM THE PLANE ( PASSENGER FRONT SEAT SMALL PIPER 4 PERSON PLANE ).

i sort of feel stupid to be honest. i never thought i would be investigating UFOs. i never thought i would actually see something myself either. i dont know who to contact about this but i would welcome any help you can get me. i just want to know if someone beside me "saw" anyhting at the same time/place..........and........if there is any explanation for what i experienced ( some kind of explanation of what it could have been based on where i saw it, whebn i saw it, what it looked like etc ).

anyway, as far as i know - you may be a hoax type organazation. i have no idea. i found you by searching the web but thought MAYBE you are ufo experts and can help me figure this out or put me in touch w someone thaty can help me get an explanation for what i saw.

i had been in atlanta for a couple of days. i was flying home with a business associate. we were in his private plane ( HIM AS PILOT - ME AS PASSENGER BESIDE HIM IN FRONT SEAT ). he is a pilot so he was at the controls on his small plane ( 4 person aircraft / piper ). he did not see this and i have not even mentioned it to him. i did not mention it to him when it happened either. i was imbarrased as to even know how to try to discuss it as he and i are not good friends but instead only associates and this was the very first time i had been around him much. it was also the first time i had been up in his plane as well. so, the last thing i wanted to do was to start telling this guy i doint know very well about how i just saw a UFO during our first business trip together in his plane.

here is my story and will try not to change it from the "exact" facts only. ...............it was AUGUST 19 2005 at approx 6:10pm on my watch ( set to west tennessee time - CENTRAL TIME - NOT SURE WHAT TIME IT WOULD BE IN HUNTSVILLE AL ). we were flying home to TN from atlanta. i was looking out the window towards the ground just watching. i havent been up in a small plane but once before so this was fun to me so i was just enjoying watching the ground. i noticed below us what seemed look like maybe a chrome ball or maybe a mylar balloon? it basically looked sort of chrome in color and round. it seemed to be about maybe 500 to 1000 ft away maybe ( i knew distance because we had recently had a plance pass under us and the pilot said he was about 1000 ft below us ). anyway, i saw this ROUND CHROME COLORED BALL below us ( between us and the ground ). it seemed to me to be approx maybe 1000 ft below us ( or so ). it began to move upward sort of toward us. i thought maybe it was a balloon. however, i remembered we were "moving" in a plane so we should have passed by it if it was a slow rising balloon.it didnt act like a balloon anyway. i am looing aout the window watching this ball rise towards us. it seemed like maybe it was rising slow at first ( or stopped ), then within maybe 3-6 seconds or so, it rose up to the same altitide as our plane, then moved sideways ( as if it were parallell with us and moved in the opposite direction as what we were flying ). i had to tiurn my head backward to watch it move by thru the back seat area glass ( i was in the front passenger seat ). then, as it moved by us it seemed to shoot up really fast and vanish.

basically withing about 10 seconds or so from the moment i saw it, it rose up to our level, was about maybe 100 feet away ( when at our level ), moved sideways ( like going opposited direction as us ), then swooped upwards ( allot faster than it was moving before ) and vanished.

i was a little scared and did not know what i saw. i did not say anything to the pilot about it as i just did not know what to say. ...........i did however, ask him right away 'WHERE ARE WE RIGHT NOW?" and "HOW HIGH UP ARE WE?" .......I thought this may come in handy somehow later if i wanted to try and investigate this. I had no idea where we were ( above what state or city etc ) as I am not familiar with plane routes..............so i had no idea where we were. ......anyway, he told me we were above HUNTSVILLE ALABAMA and we were at 6000 FEET. ....I then looked at my watch at noted it was ABOUT 6:10 PM ( my watch set at timezone of my home in WEST TN )...I am not sure if that would be the same time in HUNTSVILLE ALABAMA or not. ......

I did not see this out of the corner of my eye. It was pretty clear skys and i watched it clearly. It appeared to be something like a ROUND BALL and looked sort of chrome in color. I have no idea of the size as the distance would be sort of hard to gauge in the air for me but if i had to guess id say maybe 5ft to 20ft in diameter??? CAN YOU HELP ME FIGURE THIS OUT? WAS ANYTHING GOING ON IN HUNTSVILLE AL AT ANOUT 6:10PM ( WEST TN TIME )? ARE THERE ANY HISTORY OF THIS? IS THERE SOMEBODY ELSE I CAN CONTACT? IS THERE ANY GOOD INFO ONLINE THAT WOULD HELP ME? IF SO WHERE ONLINE IS IT? I am not jerking you around and i am 36 years old. I feel stupid even asking and even dumber admitting I saw this but i did.

i hate to give out my name at least right now. hope u understand for know.

i cant just "stop" thinking about it.

i need to know more.

any assistance would be appreciated.

Q: I WE WERE MOVING FORWARD IN AN AIRPLANE, THEN IT SEEMS TO ME THAT WHAT APPEARED TO BE MOVING UP FROM BELOW TOWARD US FROM THE BEGINING MUST HAVE ALSO NEEDED TO BE MOVING ALONG AT THE SAME PACE AS US. IF NOT, WOULD WE NOT HAVE PASSED BY IT??? SO MAY BE IT WAS ACTUALLY MOVING ALONG UNDER US AND GAINING ALTITUDE............SO IT APPEARED TO BE MOVING UP IN A STRAIGHT LINE........THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT, IT HAD TO MAYBE HAVE NEEN MOVING IN SAME DIRECTION AND SAME SPEED AS US WHEN I ORIGINALLY SAW IT AND NOTICED IT COMMING UP TOWARDS US..................CRAZY!........WAS IT SORT OF FOLLOWING US?????................SPOOKY BECAUSE I AM NOT A BIG FLYER AND THIS WAS THE ONLY THE 2ND TIME I HAD EVER BEEN IN A SMALL PLANE. IT WA THE FIRST TIME I HAD EVER BEEN ON A LONG ER FLIGHT IN A SMALL PLANE. .....................I'LL NEVER FORGET IT.

Thanks

Three brilliantly colored purple lights streaked beyond the eastern horizon at a fantastic rate of speed.

I was a mile away from the mountains in the south when three brilliantly colored purple lights appeared over top of the mountains. The lights seemed to be connected as if they were on the tips of a craft. The lights sat stationary for several seconds, and then moved slowly over the mountain ridge.

Bright light moving and fading to dark, like high altitude rocket thruster, seen briefly near Cassiopea.

While stargazing on said night with friend, friend went inside for few minutes. We had been gazing at Casseopia, and a light in that direction caught my eye. A few degrees SW of the "center" of Casseopia, it had not been there moments before. It was a little brighter than Mars had been at its closest approach to Earth, but white. Startled to see a "planet" where one shouldn't be, I observed the light begin to slowly fade after 4 or 5 seconds, making me wonder if I had happened to observe a nova. I desperately wanted my friend to get back out there! The light then began to make a slow arc of a few degrees, counter-clockwise, continuing to fade until it stopped moving/faded from view after about 10 seconds. Maybe terrestrial, but sure looked like a high altitude rocket thrust...any reports of U.S. tests?

The object has been seen by both my husband and me two times, at night. The object is a glowing crescent, the color of the sodium (Na) "D" line. It hovered over Byrd Spring Lake for about 15 minutes on June 4. Last night it emitted extremely bright yellow flashes that lit up the lake and the inside of our house. The bright yellow flashes were not the orange of the sodium spectrum. There is nothing behind the lake for several miles. There is a hunting preserve, followed forests on the Redstone Arsenal. We heard no noise, and the object was stationary. It has disappeared, as if the lights were turned off, and then returned. It is shaped like a crescent.

Connection between my vivid dream and reported sighting of crescent-shaped ufo over Huntsville, AL?

Seeing a June 2003 report of a crescent-shaped ufo over Byrd Spring Lake in Huntsville, AL (~3 miles from my home), and not knowing the details of the second sighting of the crescent-shaped object, prompted me to submit the following diary entry I wrote with respect to a "dream" I had in January 2003. It took me weeks to stop thinking about my dream and I still wonder about it even now.

For the record, I am a 40 year old mechanical engineer with much NASA and DOD design experience, have an avid interest in aircraft and flying machines, am happily married with two children, and am mentally stable. I am very scientific in my approach to problems/solutions and take great care to apply my knowledge of engineering and science to the world around me. I do believe that we are not alone.

I am submitting a sketch of the object seen in my "dream" via email.

My rather lengthy diary entry is as follows: Just so I can remember later I will document a "dream" I had the other night. I can not say I actually observed what I will describe, but the vivid detail of the dream, the fact that I could remember so much of it, and a power outage that left both myself and my wife with an inexplicable "weird" feeling about the power outage that night makes me wonder if maybe it really happened.

During the night of January 21, 2003 (morning of Jan 22), my wife and I were awoken by a strange beeping sound coming from somewhere in the room. This sound reminded me of the sound that our old answering machine would make to indicate the end of a message. The beep was periodic and would beep, then be silent, beep, silent, etc. I remember about three or four beeps.

As I was becoming conscious, my wife said "what's that", and I said I don't know", to which she responded "the power's out". About that time there were no more beeps to my recollection. We both were very puzzled as to the nature of this power outage, for some unknown reason, and felt there was something odd about it. The baby monitor we've been using, has battery back-up on both the transmitter and receiver side should there be a power failure. A day or so later, I tested this feature by unplugging both the receiver and the transmitter power supplies and observing the result. The battery back-ups worked fine and there was no beeping. The monitor, nor any other device in the house of which I am aware, emits any sound when the power is off, or when the power cycles on and off. (At some point in this whole incident, I noted the time to be around 3:00 am, must be after the power came back on??) When I was aware enough of what was going on, I decided to get up to check on the kids and peek outside to see what was happening. I do not recall that I actually checked on either of the girls, but I do remember leaving our bedroom into the upstairs hall and looking out the front Palladian window. I noted that the street light was off and it seemed very dark outside. The lights in the valley were on, so it appeared to me that the outage was isolated to our street. At some point I remember that I realized the power came back on and that the street light was re-lighting. My wife may have said "it's back on", I don't know. I think I remember getting back into bed, and maybe that I used the bathroom, first (I can't be sure).

Of itself, the previous seems ordinary, I admit. When I awoke in the morning, I recalled a "dream" or "dreamy event" in vivid detail and could not get it out of my head. This is very unusual for me since I normally can not remember 99.9% of my dreams no matter how hard I try. This is one of three dreams I can remember in any detail for the last 15 to 20 years or more. They all may be related. My memory of this "dreamy event", as I refer to it, is not complete, but I can remember many striking details.

We have a north-westerly facing Palladian window, which is in our two story entrance foyer. When in the second floor hallway/balcony, one can look straight out the window. Otherwise, it is 14 to 20 feet above one's head, from the first floor. Although I can not remember exactly when in the night this happened, or time-wise, how it relates to the power outage, I remember looking out the Palladian window and observing a deep red light shinning down from above the window. The color of the light was not quite ruby red, it had a quality to it that hinted of a touch of purple/violet added to it, but not enough to move it very far from a pure red color. My oldest daughter has a lava lamp that gives off light of roughly the same hue. The light was diffuse in nature and seemed to emanate from a point above the house and possibly centered over the house. From the foyer and hallway, no source could be detected. There was also, what seemed like another light of exactly the same color that was flashing on and off with a steady period; it also seemed to emanate from the same unseen source.

I remember walking down the stairs and looking up and out of the said window trying to determine the source of what I was seeing, but not being successful. I also looked out the library window, to the north, and observed the same lights illuminating the trees outside that window. Something led me to believe that I could get a better look if I went out the back door to look up. The angle of the light, perhaps told me its source was closer to the backyard than the front. The next thing I recall was standing on the sidewalk to the back porch with my gaze turned toward the house, and up toward a point over our master bedroom. I was in awe of the sight before me.

Hovering over our house was a very large disk-shaped craft. I thought several things to myself at that instant. "I've got to remember what this thing looks like", "I wish my wife was here to see this", and "for it being in the 20's outside, I don't feel cold, in fact I'm very comfortable".

My recollection of the technical details of what I was seeing at the time are more sketchy than I would like, however, here is what I can recall. I would estimate its diameter to be approximately 30 feet, based on a quick mental comparison to the house directly below it. The disc was hovering, completely motionless, maybe 20 feet to 40 feet over the house. On its "belly" for lack of a better word, were what I recall as 6 lights arranged hexagonally with respect to one another, with a 7th light in the dead center of the craft. The centerline of the hexagonal pattern of lights was inboard of the outside edge of the craft by approximately 4 feet. The color of the 6 lights was the same red color I have already described, although at this point, none of them was flashing, they were steady and not extremely intense. I don't think I could look directly at any of them due to the nature and quality of the light they were emitting. I seem to think the light in the dead center was white. All the lights appeared to be the same diameter and looked as though they were fixed and non-moveable/non-aim able. I don't remember the diameter of each light, and can't remember if they took up a large portion of the available real estate on the craft's bottom, or only a small portion. I seem to remember them as relatively small in diameter. There may have been additional white lights, a sort of annular ring around each red light (I don’t know for sure).

The contour of the bottom of the craft and its thickness escape me. I want to say it was very flat on the bottom and, at least, had a thin edge. The total height and top side were not able to be observed from my perspective. I made my observations in what seemed like only a second or two before the color of the lights changed; to what, I don't know, I want to say white. The craft lifted higher into the air and rotated 90 degrees, or so, counterclockwise and pitched upward 5 or 10 degrees. If I could have put a line on the disc pointing N NE, that line would have now rotated to the W NW. (direction of flight) As the craft performed its rotation and changed its pitch to a more skyward angle, I observed 2 additional structures. On top of the craft I could see a portion of a long, thin rectangular object oriented longitudinally, along the "direction of flight" (as described by my imaginary line, above) and positioned above and through the center of the craft, as if being lifted and supported by the disc. The rectangular object had a square cross section that I felt was in the neighborhood of 3' by 3' and a more broadened "tip" that gave the impression of it being a "cockpit". (Although I never felt it was a cockpit, that's just an easy way to describe its appearance). It was (based on the 3' cross section) about 6' long, by 5'wide, by 5' tall centered left and right, as well as up and down on the rectangle. The sides of the "cockpit" portion were flat and straight while "nose" was radiused and sloped both up to the top and down to the bottom surfaces with an angled portion (see sketch). Looking at the color and sheen of the material gave me the feeling that the structure was made of a charcoal-gray ceramic material. The finish was dull and lusterless, although very smooth and perfectly flat. The structure was one contiguous piece of material with no seams, windows, rivets, etc. It was perfect as though it was "grown" into that shape. The "cockpit" portion of the rectangular object was outboard of the disk enough that there was a good separation between it and the disk (4'???).

The second structure I observed was at what could be described as the aft end of the assembly. This was crescent-shaped object, in the same plane as the disc, made of the same material as the rectangle. Top to bottom, the thickness was the same as the rectangle (3'???). The bottom surface was very flat and I could not see the top surface, but assumed it was equally flat. The crescent inside radius was offset aft (with respect to the direction of flight) of the disk by the same amount the "cockpit" shape was forward and its radius was equal to that of the disc plus offset. The outside radius of the crescent was such that it caused the crescent to look like a waxing or waning moon with a taper starting at 0 to a max width about equal to the offset between the crescent and disc (4'??). I did not note any attachment between the crescent and any other part of the assembly, it was just "there". I could not viualize the area between the disc and crescent as there was not enough light The crescent looked as though it could be slid toward the craft and cradle it. The chord length of the crescent looked to be the same as the diameter of the disc. The surfaces of both the inside and outside radii were both perfectly flat and seamless. The bottom surface of the crescent appeared to be in the same plane as the bottom of the disc. Based, again on comparison with the house, I estimated the total length of the assembly to be around 45 to 50 feet.

These observations were made in only a second or two. As the disc rotated and pitched upward, the other structures only became visible as they apparently reflected some light. I remember wondering why I could see them, since it was the middle of the night, but just assumed streetlights were the light source. I also remember thinking "so that's how they do it" in relation to the dark rectangular and crescent structures and I knew for a fact that the disc was "driving" the whole assembly; the rectangle and crescent were there only for the ride. As the craft pitched up, I waved "goodbye" as if the occupants were good friends and it streaked off at amazing speed toward the West. There was a very slight high pitched sound that it made as it left, similar to that of the sonar ping from many popular war movies, except without the reverberation. The sound was pure, momentary, faint, and trailed off.

The next thing I remember, it was morning. Later in the day I discussed the "weirdness" of the power outage with my wife and she agreed there was something odd about it, but what she did not know. I asked her if she had seen any lights that night and she answered that she thought it was the utility company. Later, the day after that, she had no recollection of seeing any lights. For a whole week following the "dream" the inside of my mouth was raw and dry and some of my molars hurt. (I assumed that eating cashews was likely the cause, but I continued to eat them and my mouth cleared up). A week later I spoke briefly to our neighbor, directly across the street, and asked her if anything odd had gone on with respect to the outage and she said that not everything had been without power and that one of her clocks was flashing 9:30 when she got up, and based on the time of the outage should have said 3:30, or so. A few days later I was speaking with another neighbor, two houses up the street, and she had mentioned that there had been a power outage (I verified with her that that was the same outage) and that their transformer had burned out, leaving them and three other houses without power for over 8 hours. The utility company attributed the transformer burn out to too much current draw on too small and old a transformer.

There is no evidence to suggest that any of this happened, or could have happened. For all I know, it was just a vivid dream and concerned a subject about which I have an interest. I wanted to document what I remember because I still think about it over a week later. I NEVER remember my dreams.

******* PLEASE CONTACT ME ONLY VIA EMAIL, IF NECESSARY.

Thanks

It was an overcast night but the stars were just barely shining through. My girlfriend and I were outside burning brush. We were looking up at the stars and I was pointing out different constelations to her when we saw it. It was behind the clouds and sitting perfectly still for about 3 seconds off to the west. Then in an instant it shot across the sky to the north. It did not seem to accelerate it just went from sitting still to speeding across the sky. She then asked me if I had just seen it and we both had and then went back inside.

We wonder whether the witness means a date in 2004. We will query him on this point. PD

White light streak in the sky traveling East to West at a very very fast speed with no sound

I saw something that was unusual last night (September 9th) around 9 pm traveling East to West in the sky. I was looking toward the South when I saw it. It was a very very bright white light - in fact I thought at first it was a meteor, but then I realized it was going at a slight incline. It appeared for a moment as a bright streak then went completely out, then on the same trajectory appeared again a little further toward the West and went out again. I had called to my husband when I saw the first streak as he was on the porch and he ran out in the yard and saw it when it reappeared for the third time and then went out. We searched the sky to the West and it never reappeared that we could see. It was traveling much much faster than an airplane (even a fighter jet) and there was no noise. It was many times brighter than a plane or the space station. As I said, it resembled a comet or meteor. This all happened in a moment in time - very very fast.

Im part of a marching band and we're from Houston. We went to a competition in Huntsville and for our lunch break we headed back to the bus from the stadium and we saw a whole bunch of flying white thingys.At first we thought they were birds but every 3 seconds they would disappear and then come back, and then disappear and come back, over and over again. It looked like a school of fishes, but in the sky. There were 2 groups of them. The whole band saw it and we stared at it for a long time trying to find out what it was. We were scared because no1 knew what it was and we were hoping it wasn't part of the war that's going on right now.

We have requested that the witness contact the other alleged observers and have them submit reports, as well. PD

It was one Saturday night at the state park in Huntsville TX. It was about 1:45am I just look at my watch and told my wife I was going to bed. We had a guest over from the next camp site, sitting and talking with us. When thru an opening in the clouds came two saucer shaped objects very fast, then they suddenly stopped and hovered over the lake.the three of us were in shock to say the least. They made no sound like an engine would, but a slight hum was all we heard.they were about 75 yards away from us and about 30 feet above the water. one of the craft emitted a very bright beam of white light into the water. I flashed my Q-Beam at them just for a second it seamed then a bright like from the second craft shot towards us at the dock. I pulled out my pistol and fired one shot at the light.we heard a sound of the bullit hitting something but it was'nt like hitting metal. Within 10 seconds after that, they both shot up into the clouds and it was over. We hav'nt been back since..

I watched the object from my front yard as it changed size, shape, direction, speed and finally disapeared.

Description: On Tuesday July 18, 2000 at about 11:35 p.m. I stepped out my front door and onto my front poarch to smoke a ciggarette. It was a clear night and you could see all the stars, so I stepped off my poarch and into my front yard to look at the stars, when I turned and faced the house, (looking East N.E.), I noticed 4 stars together. As I started to look to my left I noticed that one of the 4 stars appeared to be growing in size and changing color, but it was stationary. The color was very similar to that of the planet Mars as observed from the ground at night. I simply thought that what I was seeing was simply a planet or twinkling star, that is when I glanced back at the other 3 stars in the group and noticed that this "object" was now 2-3 times larger than the stars that it was next to and had completely change color from a white "star" color/appearance to an orange/yellow color. The "object" began to suddenly move to my left in a straight line paralell to the horizon. It moved at a rate of speed like that of an airplane for about 10 seconds and then stopped in the center of the star group. It stayed stationary and both its size and color returned to that similar to the stars around it. It remained stationary in the star group for about 30 seconds and then it changed both size and color again and began to move to my lower left (at a 45 degree angle to the horizon). At this point it change shape from a circlular appearance to an elongated appearance, but its speed actually slowed until it pasted the star group that I was using as a reference point. Once past the stars it increased speed and made a sudden change in direction to my upper left, (at a 45 degree angle to the horizon in an upward direction). At this point the suddenly disappeared. There were no visible clouds in the sky. I first suspected a planet, as I said, but ruled it out with movement. I then suspected a satelite until the object stopped moving the first time. After the shift to the lower left and both color and shape change I suspected a shooting star, but was completely surprised when it changed direction and moved in an uppward direction and disapeared. I suspected that maybe it might be a test of some type from Redstone Arsenal here in town, but after realizing that it was in the opposite direction, I gave up on ideas. Can you help? What is this or am I just crazy and seeing things. Contact: ((personal data deleted))

I saw a green-yellow light flash across the sky. It was too fast to be a plane and it wasn't a searchlight or anything. It flashed across, the curved sharply.

The object was roundish, green-yellow, and traveled extrememly fast. I almist didn't catch it, I just happened to be looking at the moon and it went right below the moon.

A oval shaped object that changed shapes and vanished in thin air.

Approximately 10:23 on June 25, 1999, As I was driving around town late night I notice a big bright light in the sky, at first i took it to be an airplane but as I observed the object more, the object stood at a standstill and was not moving. The object was approximately 2 miles in the air. As I turned the curb driving in my car, I said to myself that I would try to get a closer look at this object. When I got a closer look at the object. The object begin to transform colors, it went from a white ball into an oval shaped object which was red on the outside and orange in the middle. The object then started to move, at first it begin to hoover, and then it raced off so fast that you could only catch it with the naked eye. The object then dissapeard into the sky. The object I know for sure was not an airpland or jet plane, because a jet or airplane could not hoover and one spot and take off so fast.
