My wife and I were looking at the lunar eclipse when we seen two lights zigzagging across the nights sky

While looking at the lunar eclipse at 3:40am March 14th my wife and I saw what we at first thought was a shooting star. It was fast like a shooting star but there were two lights and when they shot across the night sky they were not going in a straight line. The first light zigzagged and the other one followed it. It reminded me of watching two birds chasing each other in the sky. I’m glad my wife seen it too because it happened in a few seconds and if it was not for the fact that there were two and they zigzagged following each other I would have thought it was a meteorite because it was going so fast.

Driving on the way to work when I saw this.

I pulled over and tried to get pics with my Samsung Galaxy phone. These are screenshots. There were also helicopters around but I can't be sure that it was related. At one point the light split into 4 which I actually did get a pic of.

Shape: Formation


A line of lights, too fast and bright to be Starlink.

At first I thought it was a bright satellite. Like ISS bright. Then another came behind it. After that one three more. See the attached pic for an approximation. The first one was a bit ahead of the other four. The trailing four were equally spaced apart. I loaded Stellarium to see what satellites they were but there was nothing at that particular time. So either I saw new sats go over that I've never seen before (highly unlikely), or I saw something else. There was no sound from aircraft engines. This was not a Starlink chain. They were too large, too fast, only 5 of them, and the distance from the first to last covered too much of the sky.

2 objects that looked like fire ball or very strong light moving west to east

I was outside around 1945 hours Thursday night 10/20/2022 I saw something that I thought at first was a plane on fire. I stepped to door asked my daughter to step out when I looked back there was a 2nd one. The first had turned a little more north east and was going up getting smaller in size. it went straight up out of sight and the 2nd one followed same path. There was a regular airplane pass through the middle of their path at one point. They had an orange color light that looked like a fire ball. We did not attempt to get a camera to take pictures I was afraid I would not see where they went. I couldn't say for sure but the light might have been on the under side of some type of aircraft. There was no sound at all.

We saw a blue flashing object cross the sky slowly in broad daylight, flying lower than an airplane would.

My husband and I were in the swimming pool and saw an object fly over at approximately 5:00pm today, June 17, 2022. It was flashing, very bright blue light around the edges and the main part of the craft was a shimmery/silvery color. The sun was shining, there were no clouds, and no other objects in the sky. The object was shaped like a rectangle with rounded corners and had a tube-like, cylinder-shaped white object coming down from it. It crossed the sky slowly, in a southbound direction, making no sound, and flying much closer than an airplane would fly. It flew directly over our home in west Marion, Indiana. Neither of us have ever seen anything like it before and I can’t believe we’re the only people who saw it.

When what is naked to the eye reviles through photo

07/31/2020 19:21: While driving to a local grocery store, I received a Special Weather Statement via The Weather Chanel on my cell phone regarding a severe thunderstorm brought by Hurricane Isaias. I entered the store at approximately 19:25 and exited at 19:39. I noticed odd looking cloud formation, almost in a cylinder shape similar to a tornado. I snapped a few pics from my iPhone and sent them to a co worker. Co worker replies with 2 additional photos from her location within a 30 minute timeframe (35 miles away). Once home, I decide to look through the photos collected and notice an odd circular shaped disc in my first photo. Then 3 separate shapes in a horizontal line in the 2nd. Look at co worker’s photos and am surprised to see 1 of the above described formations in each of her photos.

Shape: Triangle


Triangle or like a privates patch on its edge with no third end,

I helped my in laws that live in Sequin Texas with some chores they couldnt do, and left about 8:30 at night and was still a few miles outside of the small town of Marion Texas on hwy fm 78 when what looked like a quarter miles ahead of me on the right side of the road it caught my eye, I looked closer and there was a triangle coming across the field and went over the telephone wires that run along the railroad track at what seemed like the speed of a hot air ballon and there was no sound yet, but as I got closer it was as if it was anti gravity because it would have fell out of the sky going that slow. So it crossed the wires and the ditch at a 90 degree angle to the highway crossed the highway , then across the ditch on my left side but still maybe five hundred feet ahead of me and as soon as it crossed the left side ditch it turned like a fish a 90 degree turn to the right and was going parallel with the road but i was speeding up and it seemed to mimic my speed and there was a grove of trees and when I got through them I could not see it any more until i got to the town of Cibilo texas and it turned down the road that goes past the police station but I couldnt make the turn and of course thats when I finally thought to get my cell phone out and try to get a video. So here I am doing about 10 miles an hour looking at the sky through my windshield and I pass a police on the side of the road looking like what the hell is this guy doing ?? So that was the last time I saw it. I thought it must be something the military was doing cause there is many air bases in the area. But how could that thing move so slow crossing the road and not stall? Description was simple it looked like a arrow on edge with the top angle lit up but not the bottom and the light was like a very classy glow as if all florecent from the point all the way up to the upper part of the top angle. so you could see it from the front but when it crossed the st! reet and turned I could barely see the glow like a aura . I al! ways fel t like if a ufo came from another planet , if they had that technical knowledge I doubt very seriously that they would need lights to get around at night and those lights did not light their path anyway it was merely a bright glow and I doubt that they follow FAA rules that they have to have lights and also it didnt try to hide one bit in fact on the radio next morning I heard them say some lady reported seeing it too. I did see it and followed it , it was amazing what ever aircraft it was. I didnt see any exhaust from a motor and there was no sound at all and they didnt care if they were seen,so either the military has a very cool aircraft or we got company, I m going with military .

I was trying to take a photo for the moon and stars. It was falling straight down. As I was taking the photos I thought I was photographing a falling star. After processing the photos I realized it was not a falling star but an object that had lights on both sides and a small light on the back. I only seen the object for approx. 2 mins before it was gone.

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Triangle shape with one red light in center flying low, slow, and quiet over wooded, mountainous area.

My father came into the house, a bit before 10pm, reporting a strange, triangle-shaped object in the sky. I asked him if it was still there, he said "No," (to my disappointment).

I then questioned him. He said it was a dark triangle shape flying much lower than a plane would. It had only one light; a red light in the center of the object. He said that there was only the faintest sound (barely audible), much fainter than what one would expect from an airplane, and especially an object flying so low.

He also said that it was moving more slowly than a plane, and was a very smooth, low, & slow glide from the woods behind the house until it went out of his site. The object flew in a straight line until out of sight.

The area around the house is very mountainous and wooded. He was very calm and non-chalant, as he believes it was some sort of military test craft. However, I wanted to share this encounter in case it is ever of value.

At approximately 10:30 pm, I stepped out into the backyard and observed a white light in the shape of an orb streak across the sky. I then saw that there were 3 more darting in and out of view through cloud cover. I went in the house and got my roommate and she too witnessed this event. The lights were extremely fast and would merge into a single body from time to time. They were visible while in the cloud but would almost disappear when they would move between the clouds. Yet, you could still see a faint trace as they moved in and out of the clouds. They disappeared completely when the clouds became few and far between.

Triangle shaped ufo over I-69 Marion exit.

I saw one earlier in the week prior, going along state road 18 east headed west towards Marion near the I-69 exit. At first I thought it was one of those red blinking towers. As I approached closer I realized it was not and it was moving very slowly just maybe 100 ft over the trees.

There's were 3 lights that I could see: green, red (one on each side), and at the point of the triangular object was a white light, almost like a search light. It made no sound to my knowledge.

I told my brother to look at it and he said it was probably just a helicopter. I've never seen a helicopter move that slow. As I passed it and looked back in my rear view mirror it looked as though it had 3 bright engines on the back.

Two nights ago I witnessed it again over I-69 but this time it was lower and moving south along the interstate. I tried shaking off the first time, but now it's been twice within a week or so.

I have no idea how no one else saw this. I've never been so paranoid and am scared to see it again.

Burning fireball traveling fast over Marion Iowa towards the northeast.

Thursday, January 14th 2016, I was out on my usual 5 mile walk around northeast Marion, IA. At 9:10pm, I noticed a bright burning object in the clear night sky when I was southbound on Rosewood Ridge Drive. It was approaching from the southwest traveling northeast fast.

I knew instantly that this wasn’t a plane or jet. No blinking lights, no sound whatsoever. It was not a meteor because it never burnt up. The object had no trail but yet it was burning. Object was not a candle balloon lantern, as it was much larger and higher in the sky, traveling fast.

Also it was not the ISS either, as I am a regular observer of the space station and this object was clearly not in orbit. The burning object passed over me at about 60 degrees and even as it flew off towards the northeast, the whole object still burned as it had been burning the whole time. Roughly about 3 minutes from the time I first saw it, to when it slowly disappeared toward the northeast horizon.

Exact description: about the size of a jet, sphere shaped, burning, looked like fire but it stayed in the ! shape of a sphere, no trail whatsoever, no blinking lights, no sound.

The whole time I just stood still in the street watching this object. No cars had passed while I watched, and no people around whatsoever. A very silent and clear night in January.

Saw 2 different types of lights in the sky in Marion, IN

My boyfriend and I were walking to his parents about a block away. The first lights we saw were on the way there. We live outside of the city so we get an amazing sky view. First we saw 1 white light that didn't flash at all like the airplanes and looked about twice the size. There was no sound and it changed direction and speed about 3 times before disappearing suddenly. We saw a second one far to the right behaving in the same way but going different directions. When it went to the far right we could hear dogs begin to bark from the same direction.

We get to his parents and we're there for awhile visiting and eating. We leave and just as we head down the road, he says, "I hope we get to see something else," an a bright orange "shooting star" shoots through the sky and appears to explode and disappear as it falls. Did anyone else see this? Please report it so we know we're not the only ones.

spherical light in sky, moving at inhuman speed, brightens then disapears

I was sitting on my porch looking up at the stars, when I saw what I first thought was an airplane high in altitude. I then realized it was closing the gap between 2 stars extremely fast, like no aircraft I've even seen. All of the sudden it brightened and disappeared. It was like someone was turning up a light bulb and then just turned it off.

3 drones

2 big solid yellow lights and 1 blinking Red and yellow flying around a radio or cell phone tower on Route 23 at the rest stop near Owens road East bridge. 1 solid one flew over to the blinking one that was stationary. They both became stationary.

Then a 3rd one appeared out of nowhere. It was solid until it reached the other 2, then flashed Red, yellow and white. No flash pattern.

Then they all flew around at slow speed near a commercial airline following it, then left at high rate of speed. We thought one of them was going to crash into it. But didn't.

orange/white spheres seen by nurse and other neighbors hovering

Person indicated seeing 4 lights in a diamond shape in the north east sky outside marion and ran to get camera due the lights being stationary and hearing no engine noise, when they came back out the orbs of light changed shape fast and disappeared faster than any aircraft heading towards the direction of nuclear power plant, they caught part of the them in a photo. Previous to that another object was seen streaking across the sky faster than any known aircraft at a earlier date and just vanished, similar shape, but different colored lights. Have noticed more sightings in eastern iowa and near old airforce/army bases esepcially near waverly from what i have been told, but alot of people have noticed them and the increase of aircraft flying without lights as well with the faint noise of rotors as well in areas where sightings are occurring often after they have been seen. Lot of activity it seems for just training missions as we are told.

Bright white light, circle shaped and not moving.

Driving North we noticed a huge bright circle hovering in the air, not moving at all.

We stared and watched it as we drove towards it (approximately 4 minutes). We turned and continued to watch it for about 10 seconds, and then it suddenly looked as if it flipped and thinned out into a white line and then it was gone. We could not see it anywhere. It was as if it disappeared in mid air.

It was the brightest thing I've ever seen.

Bright bluish-white light visible for 30 seconds to 1 minute and then gone in less than second

Somewhere between 4:15 and 4:20 I was traveling NE on 195 and noticed a large bright bluish-white light straight ahead in the cloudless sky and high above the tree line. I was on a straight stretch of highway.

My first thought was that it was a planet. The sun was just setting and the sky was still bright and a little early for a planet to be out. Venus is usually visible first, but it is yellowish, and seen to the west.

As I watched it, it did not move, but it slightly twinkled (another indication that it was not a planet or plane). Then I reached down to grab a water (in less than a second), and when I looked back up the light was completely gone. No other lights or clouds were visible at the time.

Illuminated Orb hovering over Marion, NC- does this have to do with the "non- existent Military Base" behind Baxter.

My HUSBAND AND I were noticing a bright light in the sky that was not moving. So we grabbed our binocs and began looking for the object still in the sky.

As we were watching this object, others started to stop and pull over to get a better look. No one could believe their eyes.. A ball of many many lights which were illuminating the objects around them. Someone said that the various planes that were now in flight to ck it out (this area is not a flight pattern) some men stated that the airplanes that seem to be responding to the globe- kept going around it or under it.

I have never seen so many planes... Not sure what we were all seeing but we do know it was not a planet and it was not weather balloons. Anyone have an idea?

Then the egg shaped object moved and made a circle and went back to the same spot where we first seen it. Then we lost sight of the egg shaped object.

Starlike light, orange lights

The following events take place between 18:00-19:50 on February 24th, 2013.

I was facing the Northern Skies, the moon was full and the sky was clear.

My friend and I were trying to kill time before visiting our mutual friend.

We were in the same part of town as her apartment in Marion, IN.

We were at a local Dollar General and a Casey’s General Store between sightings.

Sighting One: Dollar General, MARION, INDIANA (State Road 15, also known as “the bypass”) I saw a bright star-like object near the moon moving downward and then it had disappeared. There are many things it could have been such as a satellite or a small space rock falling towards Earth, this I regarded as something ordinary.

Sighting Two: Casey’s General Store I was sitting in my friend’s Jeep while he bought gasoline. I was downloading "Sky Maps" from Google Play on my phone because I wanted to identify a bright space object. The object I was trying to identify was star-like in appearance, yet not uncommon. It was most likely a planet or satellite, but still close to Jupiter.

A few seconds later, I saw something otherworldly out of the corner of my eye and I stuck my head out of the window of my friend’s Jeep. When I observed it fully, I was facing it, Northern Skies, the same part of the sky the moon was in and a bit far away from Jupiter. I saw two orange lights on what seemed like a cigar or disc shape, the object slowly floated to the left of my field of view and had vanished, like it had faded into the sky while still moving slowly in the same direction.

Here are the locations where the sightings took place, no names or personal addresses included:

Crazy light show that we have never seen and can not be explained it was so captivating and scary at the same time.

Out of nowhere what we thought was fireworks or something after looking closely we seen at least 30 reddish orange oval shaped lights around 600ft in the air and kept going up in the air, over a duration of 10 mins they started disappearing.

While the lights was in the air they were changing formation.

I tried to get an image but they would not show up on the camera before I could get it the camera they was all gone, I wanted to get an image captured so people would believe us.

I was leaving my friend's house to go home. My friend and her 3 1/2 year old daughter walked me to her front door when she noticed all of these strange lights in the sky and remarked on it. She at first thought they weren't moving, but I was trying to determine whether they were moving or not. In about a minute I figured out that they were moving, but very slowly, almost like they were floating. We kept staring at them trying to figure out what they were. She also eventually realized for herself that they were actually moving a little. We kept staring at this strange phenomenon, but I was feeling cold on the front porch and wanted to get going. I had the strange feeling that they would go away when I started to leave and that is exactly what they did. It appeared as if the lights were going out a few at a time. I realize that the timing was probably coincidental, but it was funny how I felt so strongly that was what was going to happen at least a mi! nute before I actually left. I had been hoping to be able to keep watching them, while driving home, but when I began to walk off the porch the lights began to disappear at a faster rate. They had begun to disappear a little before that, very slowly, I think when I began making a move to go prior to actually leaving the porch. I remember seeing strange lights in the sky once before, maybe around 15 years ago, give or take a few years, but they were more off in the distance and they continued for quite some time. I don't remember much about them, except that I was having a hard time determining if the lights were weather-related or some kind of flying crafts.

Characteristics: Lights on object

Several pulsating lights from a single craft flew at low altidude, traveling from the east horizon to west horizion at high velocity.

This evening at approximately 10:30 P.M. central time, I walked out of my residence in northeastern Louisiana. The moon is very bright and intense, and the entire landscape is bathed with a silver aurora of moonlight. The night air is heavy and dense, but the cloudless night sky is similar to the clarity one experiences on a chilly winter night. I glanced at the sky very briefly to study how the moon has dimmed the stars, making only the brightest ones clear. The radiance of the moon outshines the majority of the stars towards the west, but to the east, a large portion of the stars are left shinning.

It is here in which my gaze was drawn. I was admiring the stars when I noticed two distinct and separate lights moving in the sky. One was the typical sight of a commercial airliner flying at 30,000 ft. These are easily distinguished because of their snail-like pace, and how they creep across the night sky, in a steady line, and never change course quickly. This plane was moving towards the southwest, and was flying at a much higher altitude than the second object.

This object I thought as being very peculiar. It seemed to be at a much, much lower altitude than the airliner, and was at approximately 2000-4000 feet in the sky, and emitted no sound, it featured red, white, and green lights, that functioned as follows: the outside lights were red, the middle lights were white, and the center light was green. The lights pulsed from the outside toward the inside and were arranged in a horizontal fashion, and allowed for me to follow the craft’s trajectory, while the shape was more ambiguous, it could have been either cigar shaped, or disk-like. It was flying in a southwest direction, coming from the northeast section of my property, traveling southward diagonally. It flew in a line that went from open air to behind the tree line. It traveled much more quickly than I have ever seen a plane, and this is what sparked my curiosity. After it disappeared I went inside and told my mother and brother to come quickly. Thirty more seconds elapsed, and then the craft came from behind the tree line, changing from a southerly course and began traveling westward towards the moon. This change of direction is what heightened my curiosity, because the craft seemed to be completing some type of circle. The UFO went from the visible east skyline, to the visible west skyline traveling at an immense speed, and in under a minute it disappeared into the distance and out of my sight.

I am apprehensive to believe this is a craft from another world, because there is an Air Force base in Shreveport within 200 miles of my location. But this was not a helicopter, commercial air-liner, or weather phenomenon. I believe in the reality that other beings visit our planet, but there is the doubt that the craft I saw was a form of secret military testing. I have not to date every seen anything in the sky that resembles this craft. I am still somewhat shaken from this event, and the shear, silent eeriness that I experienced will not be soon forgotten.

Red, orange and green flicker of lights over G.M. plant observed from directly south by Marion Airport.

Between 11:30pm and 12am I walked out to the front porch to have a smoke and noticed a incredible bright lite directly north of my position over the General Motors plant that seemed to be level with a red lite from a cell phone tower on the north end of Marion IN. From my view point it looked to be no more than 200ft from the ground and stayed at that position for about a minute and a half. The lite was flickering... kinda what you would see from a candle but was much more intense, and the colors were a bright orange,red and a bluish green.

My lady and I often look at the nite sky and from where we live at out in the middle of a corn field we can really enjoy the open skies without anything nearby restricting our view. So after about a minute of watching this I call to her to come outside and take a look. It had seemed odd that it wasn't changing position at all, that and how very intensely bright they were. It is not often that there is not a b! reeze in this area... the wind is a constant. My first thoughts were that of one of those oriental sky lanterns but like I said the lights were much to bright to be a flame from one of those and if it were that or of a balloon I believe it would have a steady climb rather than just staying in a fixed position.

Shortly after my lady came out to observe this with me the object began to rise, I'd say close to 400 to 500ft the lights quit. It wasn't a dwindle or a slow fade, they ended immediately. I say they and lights but all 3 colors were coming from one fixed spot. I live very close to the Marion municipal airport and get to see planes coming in and out every day but there really isn't very much traffic at nite. The Marion hospital has a green and white chopper that is often seen coming from the far north east traveling towards a slight west by south west towards Kokomo and its engines are quite recognizable. What I was seeing could not be heard from my location. If it were! a plane coming in or out I believe it was insanely low and it! seemed to be only 3 to 4 miles north of us... if it were a plane at that distance we would be able to see the wing and tail strobes. The lights didn't blink or strobe, they were a constant, but had shifted from one color to the next in no pattern that could be identified. As far as I know, flares fired from the ground rise and fall. Flares from a aircraft fall. Never seen a flare stay in one spot for over a minute and then rise. Very odd indeed... odd enough that here I am writing this!

One has amber lights, and the other is the cloudy gray figure just above the lights. notice the cloud separation behind the craft! this picture is just as it was taken and has not been tampered with…

this one is difficult to explain away because of the obvious cloud disruption and it was not taken with the window up as to cause a glare.

More than ten ufo lights flying around in sky.

First it was just three flashing red and blue lights in a triangle. Then the one on the left disappered.

A triangular craft sighted in Marion, Ohio, was flying west leaving a deep bass coming from the sky.

First off I'm not crazy! I live on ((deleted)) ave. in Marion,Oh and was walking to my dads house the next street over on patterson st. I cut through the patterson street park and I felt a really deep bass coming from the sky. I looked up and noticed a triangular craft way up in the sky. At least 60,000 ft. It had green lights on each point and a whiteish blue flame coming out of the very center of the craft. The reason I knew it was'nt one of ours is because it was way way up in the sky and a jet or plane would of looked alot smaller at that altitude. It was heading west but the way it looked it was going strait up. It flew up until I couldn't see it any more. The lights did'nt blink they stayed lit. I found it very curious when I watched unsolved mysteries and some police officers in bulgaria or something seen triangular crafts floating really low to the ground and they had red lights at each point. They said they were huge in size as well. I know for a fact this is the same thing I seen. I haven't told anyone about this because they will think I'm nuts. I just thought this should be noted.

I was outside smoking a cigarette. I looked over to the field across the street. I saw the first object and thought maybe it's just an aircraft heading in for a final approach to the Airport. Than I realized it couldnt be an airplane because it was moving too slow. I though than that it could be a helecopter.

But quickly realized it couldnt be one either. It would increase and decrease its altitude very rapidly.

The object was A red light I couldnt see anything but that light it hovered around for a bit than I went inside to grab 2 of my friends. They thought it was wierd but they still dont believe me. after they saw the first object they went in side and thats when the second object flew past the first one. The second thing dissapeared thats when the first one dove down out of site. It waited there and than flew out of my field of Vision.

Two lights in the sky at the same height; one to the east and one to the west both zigzagging irradically.

On Monday morning, June 25th, at approximately 3:30 a.m. I spotted a light in the sky in the east. At first I thought it was a star. It was really far up, so it looked like a star, but it was super bright and it moved way too much. It was way too fast and far to be a helicopter or a plane, also I spotted a plane heading in it’s direction. The light zigzagged in the same general area for the whole time I watched it. I then glanced around the sky and directly to the west of this light was another light. It was up in the sky at the same distance and was also zigzagging in the sky. The lights were directly across from each other one to the east and one to the west at the same height. I watched it for about 15 minutes and I headed in the house.

A strange short sirun noise with two massive jet streams of smoke in the sky in rainbow formation.

As I was leaving a friends house i rolled down my window to hear a sirun like i have never heard before. It was not a low or high pitch, very normal like a police but the closest i can explain is "wo wo wah." I called my brother who was near five miles from my location for him to say he thinks aliens are coming. I than told him about the noise and he he also heard the same noise. When I observed the sky as I stepped out of my car I noticed two arched white clouds, like what you would see from a jet but but they were near ten times the width of what is normal to see from my yard. My brother had the same story and we were at two different places at the same time.

I have a pair of Celestron Skymaster 25x100 binoculars and on or about September 1, 2006 at around 9:00pm I was stargazing and tracking airplanes across the sky. At one point I was examining the sky at about 2 or three inches at a time. I was looking towards the northwest and I saw a blue light with no aviation lights flew from nw towards the southeast. I thought it was strange but when on with my observing. About 1 minute later I saw 2 more identical lights and then more and more. I saw at least 6 to 8 identical lights crossing the sky. These binoculars are powerful enough to see galaxies and other messier objects. At first I thought these lights could be sattelites but the research I have done says there are only about 14 sattelites that can be observed from earth and they are only visable for a few seconds at a time as they tumble in and out of the sun's rays. I tracked all of these objects from horizon to horizon. Since then I can go out every night and if I am patient enough, I can see these lights every time. Have you ever heard of this phenomena. Military?

Red Object Over Marion, Illinois

My friend and I were coming home from working at my apartment. When I pulled into the driveway I said, "Oh my gosh, look at that UFO." It took me a minute to process what we saw. We both jumped out of the vehicle and stood in awe of the red glowing thing floating in the sky. It didn't make any noise. It was large. It seemed to be in two parts, or at least to appear that way. It disappeared very quickly. I tried to photograph the incident but our digital camera was out of space and by the time I freed up a picture the object had disappeared.

Multiple Orange Lights

We were driving home on a back country road last night around 9:15pm, I looked up at the sky through the front windshield and saw two orange colored lights that were close together, and one other light that was about a ½ a mile way from the other two. We were going about 35mph at the time. I pointed them out to my husband and he saw them also. We passed a clump of trees and we looked for the lights but they had disappeared. We got to our apartment complex about 10 minutes later, which was about a mile away from the sighting; we parked our vehicle and stood outside talking. My husband and I both glanced up at the same time towards the southwest end of our complex and saw three brightly colored orange lights very close together about 20 feet apart from each other. They blinked on one at a time and stayed lit for about 10 seconds and then completely blinked off. Then we saw further to the right of where those lights where three more lights come on one at a time stay lit for 10 seconds and then turn off. They were separated about ½ mile from each other and were about 100 feet from the ground. There was absolutely no sound. We decided we were going to see where they were heading to so we got into the van and chased these lights. We headed south down the back country roads chasing them. One lit up to the left of our vehicle, only three lights this time and in the same sequence as before. It stayed three quarters of a mile ahead at this point. We continued to follow and saw it light up again this time on the right side of the vehicle and it seemed to be going about 45mph. It stayed just barely in front of us as we followed it. Once again only one and the same sequence of action. The last time we saw it light up there were the set of three lights, but there were additional lights this time, about two more and they were a bit ahead of the three we were use to seeing. To us it seemed as if there was more then one. If asked I can not exactly say, they were in to many different positions they all stayed about 100 feet off the ground. We came to a dead end and could not follow them anymore so we turned around and went back home. The whole chase lasted about an hour and we ended up about 10 miles from our apartment complex. Tonight we decided we would check to see if we could see these lights again. I had seen on websites that others had also seen these lights in/around the same area. So we went near the area we first saw the lights and parked by a field. This was around again 9:15pm, we waited for about 25 minutes and saw nothing but just when we were getting ready to leave, My Husband, Step-Son, and I, saw these lights come on just south of our location. There were 12 to 13 lights on and the same orange color as before. Behind these lights we saw what looked like sparks shooting from behind it. We watched as it looked to be coming in from an angle and it started to turn more lights on. I’m not sure how far it was from the ground but it seemed pretty close. I tried getting a photo of it but it disappeared completely from there and never reappeared.

Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Left a trail

Bright green orb falling from sky in the same fashion as a shooting star.

The object looked similar to a shooting star except that it was moving slower than that of a shooting star and it was bright green in color. It was only visible for a matter of seconds and it left a faint trail falling behind it.

The object resembled a flare except they have not been seen ascending, only descending. This is at least the third incident that they have been sighted in this city in the last two months.

My friend and I saw this object on 10/31/2005 at 02:55 in the morning from the car.

Three co-workers of mine have also seen what sounds to be the same thing on two previous occasions.

There was also a report made to the local Police Department of two strange circles appearing in a yard the day after the first sighting by my co-workers.




NUFORC Note:

Possible meteor, we suspect. One of two dramatic meteors on this date. They may have been part of the Leonid Meteor Shower, which "peaks" on November 17-18. PD

Characteristics: Lights on object

2-4 pale orange spheres appeared hovering 30 degrees above the western horizon and vanished instantly

While driving north on Indiana State Road 37 about 3 miles south of Rigdon a light to the west caught my eye.Initially I thought it was Mercury or Venus.Then I saw movement out of the corner of my eye and I turned to look again. Now there were 2lights about 30 degrees off the horizon. I told my wife who was in the car with me to look at what I was seeing. We were meeting a car so she admonished me for not watching the road. I turned to face the oncoming car to make sure I was in control of the car. I again turned my head to look at the lights. This time I saw 4 lights in a row parallel to the horizon. Again I checked for traffic saftey by looking ahead. I again turned to face the lights. This time there were 2. While I was watching them they individually vanished one at time, just like as if someone turned of a light switch. The lights were perfect spheres sharply outlined with the light coming through a surface much like a frosted light bulb. The color was a pale orange glow. Their size was similar to a round automobile headlight when viewed from 20-30 feet away. My wife felt they were considerably bigger. We turned down the first road to the west to investigate the general area and drove 2 miles. There was no sound associated with this experience and no further sighting took place. I am a pilot and I have never experienced anything like this before or since. The weather was perfectly clear. They were not landing lights or navigation lights on an aircraft. Their glow did not change except to vanish instantly.

Shape: Changing


On 8/6/04 around 8pm I saw a stange glowing object in the sky changing from a Ball shape to Oval shape!

Last year on 8/6/04 around 8pm

I was on my way picking up a couple of friends to go see a movie. I was traveling East on Interstate 195 from New Bedford,Ma to Marion,Ma,wich is about 10-15 minutes away.

When I was about 2 1/2 miles from the exit #20 that I would be taking, all of a sudden in the corner of my eye I notice a bright ball shaped light in the sky & immediately got a stange feeling about it!(Looked like it had to be around 400-500 feet up).

It was moving Eastward parallel with the highway,but Inland above the trees, & then in a split second it changes from Ball shaped to Oval shape! Back & forth!!

Now I'm getting really nervous because I dont know what I'm looking at! I know for a fact this was not a blimp or anything like that! This "Thing" wasn't covered w/ lights, It was a Solid (Yellowish) Glowing Object!(With sharp edges...Not fuzzy!) that was (Literally)changing size at will every few seconds! (Very Strange!)

It must of been atleast 100 feet long when Oval! (We don't have any aircraft like this!)A Definate UFO Sighting that, I thought would have been seen by many!,

Since there were several cars on the highway at the same time traveling just ahead & behind me!

There was no reports about it on local tv news, newspapers etc.

Never heard anyone mention anything about it...Strange! I sometimes wonder if (They) can choose who sees them & who does not!

Totally freaked me out & Now i wish I hadn't taken that exit off the higway & continued following It instead...Who knows what could of happened?

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object, Electrical or magnetic effects

Sets of repeating, grouped lights that reoccurred on two separate days, at approximately the same time in same area of sky.

First Sighting – Traveling west on the country road (Kim Road) out of Marion, IN heading toward Sweetser, IN. Proceeded beyond the stop at Toby Pike heading west and looked up in the sky at the angles reported above. The sighting appeared spontaneously - a bright glittering light to the right side of the road came on. It was a type of blinking effervescence – bright white and blinking gold – a similar set of lights – looking to be about 2 inches apart from my location - come on just to the right of it, horizontally – shinning in the same pattern. Then the second set of lights shut off – does dim quickly – and the original light dims in the same way and then disappear – total duration 5 seconds or so. Somewhat disbelieving my eyes I scan the sky I see the exact same pattern occur to the left of the road this time and parallel to the first sighting – same pattern and same duration. I slowed down and clearly saw other types of stars, clear sky, and bright planet, jet lights but all paled by light brightness and size comparisons. I saw it again after a 10 second interval, the same set of lights appear a third time on the right side of the road again in what appeared to be in the same spot as the first sighting.

Not knowing what I was seeing I turned left and headed south toward State Rd 18 and looked at my watch that read 7:40 PM. That means that all had transpired in 5 to 10 minutes. I turned west onto State Rd 18 traveling towards Sweetser – I picked up my cell phone to call my husband and was unable to complete the call due to severe static that was atypical to the usual connections in this area. At this time of year the sky at this time would be dark and star filled and I had no more sighting that evening.

The sighting was unusual enough that I discussed it with my family and searched the web for similar experiences. I did not report to local law enforcement at that time.

Two days later at approximately the same time, 7:44 PM my husband and I were in separate cars following each other heading west on State Rd 22 just west of State Rd 37 south of Marion, IN. The same pattern of appearing and disappearing lights reoccurred three times, both of us saw the sightings from the different cars. I tried to call my husband’s cell phone to see if he was seeing the same sight but my cell phone would not ring through even though the display showed it was ringing. He later stated that the his cell phone never rang. We checked his phone later – it was on and in reception mode and showed no recent call from me. Later both phones were working fine as we reached home.

The pattern of the lights this time occurred to the left of the road then moved to the right of the road and back to the left of the road at about the same height from the horizon and off the road to the same angle as the first sighing. This appeared to almost be a reversal of the first sighting on Feb 9 that was right then left then right. The only difference was that the lights did not appear to glitter as much as the first time.

Then as I turned of State Road 13 heading north toward Swayzee, IN my eye caught movement of a low flying plane over Swayzee and noticed, in the western sky, 90 degrees to my left, the pattern of lights appearing once again and the companion set of lights with all disappearing in the same way.

After getting home we checked the web for other sightings and noticed similar occurrences have been documented on –1/14/2003 by a person located in Peru, IN traveling West toward Kokomo which was the same direction we had been traveling each time. Another report was 11/15/2000 – Kokomo at 8:00 PM. A third report was found on 10/15/1998 – location Dublin, IN (south of).

White lights race through the sky in clear daylight, fighters in persuit

First saw bright tadpole light in perfectly clear sky speeding from north to south, from horizon to overhead in 15 seconds, well up in atmosphere. As it got overhead, it slowed and came to stop, then proceded to make maneuvers in loops, forwards and backwards, stopped again and then raced off east. About 5 minutes later 3 F-16s arrived and circled in attack formation for approximately 15 minutes. Another 2 similar lights moved through the sky in similar patterns and directions over the next 2 hours after the first event.

It started to blink and then disappeared.

May 5, 2003 I was scanning the sky for any sign of a UFO when I noticed this star in the sky. I had a pair of binoculars and I used them when observing this star. I noticed that it was blinking or rotating. There were red, blue, yellow, and orange. After about 20 minutes the object then started to disappear and reappear for about a minute. Then all of a sudden it disappeared for good. I knew this was no jet because there were planes that flew over in the time period of this object.

I've been into UFO's for a while and lately I've been watching the skies for any sign of a UFO.

4 objects of flashing color over city of 30,000

At 7:30 ish, I noticed 4 motionless sources of light, flashing red, blue, and white. The one craft I could see from my bedromm window, and am looking at as I type this, appears to be in the shape of a "+", but this may be due to the window. It wasn't, and at this time, which is now 9:02, still hasn't moved from its spot. The other three reamined motionless too, but I cannot view them at this time. I did, however, witness one ascending to above my window's view, and I went outside, it is still there. I see the possibility would arise that, on a night when both Saturn and Uranus are visable, that some would say that these are planets. Well, there are two things wrong with that. 1: there are four objects, not two. 2: What planets flash blue and white, then occasionally red? Another issue could be "Well, they're hellicopters". This town is a town of only 26,000 and the biggest city in a 50 miles area is only 100,000. Why would 4 helicopters be over a small town in Iowa, not moving one inch in nearing 3 hours? Nonthing of national importance is in this town, although an aerospace technology center and a nuclear powerplant, but let me remind you those are both nearly 50 miles away. My conclusions: They are unknown to me, I would LOVE to say alien, but I can't without reasonable doubt.



NUFORC Note:

The first possibility that should be ruled out in this case would be "twinkling" stars. The description above is not inconsistent with that possibility, we feel. PD

Marion sighting Info

Just some info about the description of the area provided by the person who also posted for this date. The city of Marion has about the population described, and the largest city nearby, Cedar Rapids, is actually not as far away as described and as small. Cedar Rapids borders Marion and the whole metro area of Cedar Rapids/Marion/Hiawatha has around 200,000 people. The aerospace center mentioned is Rockwell Collins, which builds radio and other equipment for military and civilian aviation is in Cedar Rapids, within 2 miles of the Marion border. The nuclear power plant mentioned is Duane Arnold Energy Center is in Palo, within 6 miles of Cedar Rapids northwestern border. So it is not as nearly far away as described by the person who posted about the flashing lights, and by the way is the only nuclear power plant in Iowa and does carry a lot of importance because of this.

Unseen object, ,effects felt.

I was in bed and I couldn't sleep so rather than keeping mu boyfriend up, I went to try to sleep on the couch. I was sitting on the couch with my eyes closed and I was not asleep. I heard a humming sound that grew louder and all of the sudden the room was filled with white light. I couldn't pinpoint the source of the light and the humming seemed to be everywhere, not just coming from one direction. This lasted for about a minute before I was able to get up and look outside. When I did look outside the light was gone. I told my boyfriend about this and he told me a about a time about 20 years ago when his sister lived up in a hollar just above his house. She called him late one night, she was crying and her children were crying also. She told him to come up there because there was a spaceship (her exact word) hovering above her house. This is a very mountainous region of Virginia and I don't know if anybody else saw anything or not. I'm looking forward to the next update on your page to see if anybody else reported anything.

Personal note to the NUFORC staff.

This story was relayed by my mother-in-law and, as you can see, I told the story in the first person to make it more understandable.

It all started about 3-4 years ago when we all began seing a large light in the sky which was always located around the Creal Springs area it starts as I myself have seen it a bright blue light in the sky approxamatley the size I can not acertain, however it always flashes red to blue or green wile it gradually gets smaller or larger untillit disapears totaly only to reapear again flashing and changing size. I myself have seen it many times, sometimes it sends off similar smaller craft which weave and spiral around it other times they shoot straight off of it. When seen by me at a long distance once it, to my left was spoted in the sky we went over a hill to the right and when we got out of the trees were we could see the sky again it had moved allthe way to the other horizon.I know this first hand with all clairity because when we went back to where it was originally we could all see that it had travelled an un earthly distance in less than two minuits. Seen also by myself and a friend at less but still greater distance it flashed multiple times that is multiple lights red blue green red red blue green red and apearently a rotating object.Traveling verry fast to the west we pathetically followed for a wile. (sightings ocurr regularly at the lake and towards Creal) The craft is commopnly seen by myself and others in these locals soi was of no suprize to me when I saw it last night with two others but it did suprize me to find a field the next day with a circle in it on a patch of ground clearly visible to any one from the road. I also went back and took pictures and plan to sell them.

I have the message still and it is a matter of human security.

I was given a message telepathically from the object. It still sends me messages, but I can not see it anymore. I was on a basketball court outside.

I was on my back looking up at the clear blue sky. I was stretching out my legs. My friends were on their way up to play basket ball with me. I saw a fast moving object that looked like a star. I watched it as it went into the western sky where the sun was. I put my hands in front of my face to block the sun. After about 20 seconds, three objects appeared and went back to the east side of the sky were the first object came from. They were in a line like a row of a marching band. The two on the sides moved very straight. The one in the middle kept zig zagging from one to the other. The two on the side kept moving east. The one in the middle slowed down and started to circle above me. It kept making wide circles above me. The circular patterns became smaller and smaller until it stopped in the middle right above me. That is when I started talking to it and it started talking to me telepathically. I have the message. I need to talk to someone who can help us. This is not a joke. I have told many people but none take me seriously. I don`t know what else to do. I am afraid it may be to late or impossible to change our fate.

Shape: Triangle


The football field sized object was triangular and had a gondola - shaped structure underneath.

My daughter and I were carrying in groceries one evening just after dusk. We live in the mountains of Southwest Virginia. We heard a humming sound that caught our attention at the same time. We looked around to see where the sound was coming from and then we both looked up to see a huge triangle- shaped aircraft hovering over our house.At the time, we both were having a hard time realizing that an aircraft larger than a football field would be hovering a few hundred feet over our house making so little noise. I guess it didn't dawn on either of us that this could be a ufo. We actually were just discussing the aircraft and how strange it looked. There was a gondola-like structure (round) which hung underneath the black aircraft.. I thought it might be a stealth plane, but knew they had no such gondola. We could actually see many people moving around in the gondola that were far enough up that they looked minute in size.It was, as I said a huge craft.We thought that the gondola-like center could possibly move up into the ship. There were lights on the corners and smaller lights around the perimeter.As my daughter and I watched, the humming sound became louder and the craft began to move forward and, gathering speed, flew over the small mountain beside our house and then banked left and speeded up even more,and, flying to the left, was quickly was out of sight. After it was gone, my daughter and I just stood and stared at each other and wondered why in the world one of us didn't run in and get the camera.Before this time I was a serious sceptic about ufos..but now my daughter and I don't doubt so much. For years, we really haven't told anyone except family about this, but now, it seems like it might be a significant sighting.

going for a walk by Lake of Egypt power plant

On my way home from the local B.P. gas station I was walking towards the railroad crossing and I noticed something and I stopped and saw no stars... it sounds stuid but I couldn 't see any over the Lake Of Egypt power plant. 8miles southof Marion IL. I stopped and watched it. The length was as long as about 4 times the power plant. I'm not sure what color it was but I would say it was black. It had no sound u would notice. Cars passed me but didn't see it. At the angle I was at {thinking how to eplain this} the tracks are on a downhill slop and if I pointed out in front of me about a 45 degree angle i would say if u were at the sight, it crossed the road at the fire dept.(1/2 mile) to the dam (1/4 mile) not sure.. it was moving the whole time really slow (it never hovered) about best guess 10 miles per hr. till it disappeard over the tree line.

Oh and never did any drugs (and never will) and at the time i didn't drink beer ( just for refence ) I'm 32 now and just thought i would let more than the 6 people that know now. 2 days later i called the airport to see if they had any thing fling out there at the time... 10 mins. later they came back and said no... And then they asked my name ... and i hung up...

hard metal octagon shaped object floating away above tree tops in marion, va in summer of 1993

The craft was almost as big as a small house. It looked like it was made of a hard metal. It was not completely round but not square either. It was more like an octagon shape. It had colorful lights on the belly of it. There was about four of us girls standing outside smoking cigarettes and my sister just happened to look up and see it. It was going really slow and it made no sound. We watched it until it went out of sight and kept up with it as far as we could. I yelled to some other girls to come see it and one girl came over and got just a glimpse of it before it went out of sight into the horizon. It stayed just above the trees and just before it appeared all the lights in the town went out. All of us girls were raised pretty much normal. We all were alittle bit mischievous. We experimented with marijuana sometimes and alcohol but that’s it. We were at the Job Corp at the time. My background includes being manic depressive and at the time w! as on medication for it. I was always wanting to see a ufo ever since my cousin saw an alien when she was about 13 at her home in strange creek, WV.

A black van asked me and the other witness if we wanted a ride. We then saw a large object lift off and explode into light

I am a life-long experiencer of ufo, sleep paralysis, psychic phenomenon. My most incredible sighting happened in 1993, while I was walking with my aunt. We were walking at night in her neighborhood, when a black van pulled up beside us. A man, who I could not clearly see, asked us if we "wanted a ride". We quickly said no. As we walked on abit, and rounded a corner. We walked in front of her apartment complex, Greentree Apts. Now, across the street, there is a radio station, and a large field behind it where, often is used as a small fairground. My aunt and I were speaking about nothing in particular, when all off a sudden she said, "what is that light over there?" I looked out of the corner of my eye, at somethingt that seemed to be coming up from the field. I said, "oh, that is a helicopter." "But," she replied, "it isn't making any noise." I quickly realised she was right, and we both suddenly stopped and watched as a dark object with very bright lights at both ends and an occasional lightening flash on top rose, silently, from the field behind the radio station. It went quickly, at a sixty degree angle or arc, until we could almost see under it. Then it exploded into a red flash, and was gone quicker than anything I had ever seen. We were aghast for several minutes.

Now, that is the most incredible thing I have ever seen in the night sky. Since then, I have had many more experiences, discovered spiritualism, and began writing and channeling an entity I call Zem. Recently, i had a sighting on a country road with a member of the psychic development group that I had in college, and, again, there was a BLACK VAN driving toward the object down the road (it seemed to have come out of nowhere), as we drove away from the object (which was a cery bright, flickering object). What I suppose I am most curious about is, actually, what the black van has to do with these objects, and has anyone ever reported it? If so, I would like to know about it.

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

I stood directly under a gigantic spacecraft no more than a couple hundred feet above my neighborhood.

Standing in the center of the valley where i lived(valley is approximately 300 yards wide from ridge to ridge) looking straight up, i saw a massive, triangular craft moving across the two ridgelines, from north to south, just feet from the mountaintops. It made no sound whatsoever. I couldn't exactly makeout the shape of the craft at first, because it appeared that the entire sky was moving.

After watching in awe for a moment, i noticed that some of the "stars" were flashing like a dim strobelight. A line of these lights extended down the center of the craft, and the outer edges appeared to have similar luminations but more widely spaced. The size of the vehicle i saw is indescribable, other than that it covered the entire sky. Even after many attempts to find pictures of a similar craft, as well as witnessing other ufo phenomenon i have yet to see anything in comparison.

I was twelve about twelve years old at the time and this event has changed my entire outlook on life, religion, history, and the future.

At the age of seventeen, i joined the Marine Corps and was selected for Signals Intelligence(mos:2631) at Parris Island, SC. Years in this field revealed to me even more strange and sometimes unexplainable craft all over the world.

I am now 28 years old, and continue to watch the skies for any more evidence of extraterrestrial travel in our skies.

A star viewer discloses a shape around one star and it had entered our atmosphere in retrograde traveled backwards toward the viewer; as it rested overhead it had resembled a craft with a clocking (sic. cloaking??) device-as if in another dimension. It had latter regressed back to were the original star once was. This is beyond the speed of light technology of travel time.

The viewer had also mentioned a figure that was looking back from a window.

Space ship in a dream.

I was between 10 & 13 years old, when I had this dream about a Triangle space ship. It started at this grave yard I have never been too or seen before. I found myself sneaking through the grave yard not knowing why but just kept going. Then I seen a few other people doing the same as me just going forwared not knowing why. Then I noticed we were all heading towareds a pond, up by the waters edge is where we all went. It was weird I remember we were not speaking to each other, but I was not scared. Then all the sudden a man in white was standing above the water and started talking to us, he said he brought us all here to tell us we were using nuke power the wrong way. He said we would change that some day, and we all got a book. then he called me up there with him I stood beside him and then this bright lite came up out of the water beside him. It was like a big triangle. Then it was over.

We saw a green object zoom across the sky going at least several thousand mile per hour.

In 1975 I was traveling with a friend in my car returning home from a day trip. We were just coming to the west end of our town. We both saw at the same time a green object with a sort of florescent light with a red light on the bottom. It zoomed across the sky going at least several thousand mile per hour. It went across the eastern sky, about the altitude of a jet, at about 45 degrees in about 2 seconds. It left a green florescent trail behind it that faded quickly but stretched pretty far. I stopped immediately in the middle of the highway (two lane road really, HWY 56 in Kansas). We got out and could see nothing. Both of saw and described the exact same thing.

Spherical colored lights swooping and circling over a wheat field.

While I no longer remember the exact date (or even the year) for sure, I can estimate it within a year based on the age of my children at the time. The two youngest (born 1972 and 1973) were still in cribs and sharing the same room on the second floor of our old farmhouse, only a few miles outside the town of Marion. This is big farm country, and our house was surrounded by very large fields of wheat. Late one evening during the week (my husband worked 2nd shift and was not home yet), I tiptoed into the darkened room to check on them as they slept. The curtains were open, and my eye was caught by light or movement through the window. I knelt by the window ledge and watched colored spheres of light (predominately red, some blue, some yellow) swoop and circle over the field. It was summer, and the windows were open because we did not have air conditioning. I tried to tell myself it was fireworks as it was somewhere around July 4th, but there was no sound and the lights did not resemble any fireworks I have ever seen. Gradually, the lights disappeared, though none of them shot away rapidly.

I had one other experience, though I no longer recall if it was the same year. We were travelling near our home in our van and were passing over an overpass across State Route 23 when a bright blue light suddenly flashed on the passenger side of the vehicle. We thought at the time that it could have come from a helicopter or plane, though we did not see or hear anything in the sky. Years later, when I mentioned this to my family, I was startled to learn they had no memory of it, but I am sure it was not a dream.
