Saw a bright light quickly enter the airspace above Trenton Airport, where it stopped and sat above the planes for 30 minutes.

Our home is on a hill with the rear yard facing South. I was on the back porch having an after dinner smoke around 7:30 when I noticed a very bright light come into view traveling from right to left (west to east). It was very bright, moved quickly, then suddenly stopped above planes going to Trenton Airport. We can see the planes approaching Trenton Airport and the bright light was above them. I have a Celestron Telescope, which I used to look at the light. Through the telescope it appeared like a fake fighter jet, but it did not move for at least a half hour. I did not take a picture. I went in to get warm around 8, and when I went back out around 8:10, it was gone.

Saw multiple flashes of light a seconds apart then noticed a star like object disappear from sight instantly.

Today i walked out to smoke a cigarette and i was looking towards the northwestern sky and noticed 1 bright flash that was about the size of a star. Now i have seen IR flares before and this was not that because another flash then occurred in the same spot. I then saw a star like object that was next to it completely go out and disappear. First ever confirmed UFO sighting for me here.

shinning circle with rings

Driving on the bridge in New Hope, Pa., decided to take a picture of the water. Once I got home I looked through all the pictures I took that day and noticed the one with the water , at the top left corner was a shining circle and seemed like a cloud on it. My phone is an iPhone 7 so when you take a picture you get about 5 seconds of video. I zoomed in and held the screen down and it was moving around with rings around the circle. This was at 10:03 am.




NUFORC Note:

We have yet to see the photos. Possible lens flares?? PD

Orange fireball craft, moved like an airplane.

An orange ball looked like it was glowing red-orange like a fire, moved across the sky about the rate of an airplane. Looked like it was on fire, but kept flying. At first sight, I thought I was seeing a hot air balloon (the round flame lit sphere). It made no sound

20-30 bright orange circular lights/objects in sky over Route 202 in New Hope, Pa.

While traveling south on route 202, I saw approximately 20 bright, orange, circular lights traveling north east in a group. They flew in a slow, quiet group with no specific formation. A few stragglers came up behind the group and I was able to capture a photo on my phone of one of the stragglers. They eventually seemed to disappear. They looked very bright orange with a bright yellow/white center.

Beautiful green glowing, round light (kind of fluorescent) in sky moving downward in a north west direction, disappearing over neighbors' roof… not too far up in the sky! (keep in mind the wind is blowing right now like 30 or so mph).

It moved smoothly and at a moderate speed, not too fast or slow, saw it at mid-sky going downward for like 15 seconds or so until it just disappeared. (I was just going out the side door).

The dog barked for about 20 minutes afterward… nothing else seen.

Large and small objects change shapes and colors over New Hope, Alabama

On 1/21/13 around 4:50 pm I was traveling down Hobbs Island road towards New Hope. I saw a light in the sky towards the east. It was blinking, changing colors, and appeared to be continually changing its size and shape. As I approached 431, I was within 100 to 150 yards of the object for a brief time. I was a little nervous and crossed over 431 and headed towards 72.

I saw another unusual light about five miles down the road. The object appeared quickly over my left shoulder. I noticed a red light illuminating the field beside me. This object was much smaller in size. It appeared to vibrate while changing from red to blue very fast. I was afraid and kept driving down the road.

Shape: Cigar
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Left a trail, Changed Colo

a bright 'falling' star that didn't fall but had trails of vapor and revolved so I could see the cigar or disk shape.

About 5:00 this morning I went outside and noticed what looked to be a bright star in the northeast. Immediately, two fiery "tails" - It almost looked like a triangle of light. I thought it might be a falling star but it wasn't moving. OR a plane waiting to land at the PHL airport. A flash of red lights along the bottom now and then. It seemed to be turning in place. Once it was broadside, I could see a shape - cigar or disk... I brought out binoculars and could see it more clearly. It may have been a blimp (?) But it wasn't moving.

If not full, then very bright moon.

Bright multicolored light in Nelson/LaRue County

The area I live in is a very rural part of Nelson and LaRue County, Kentucky. I travel HWY 84 every day to work and back and am very familiar with our night sky. We have very few light sources and can see quite well on any given clear night. A typical night's lights usually consist of lots of airplanes, cell and other various towers and scattered utility lights. We also have some helicopter traffic from Ft. Knox. They do maneuvers in the valley where my house is located. They hover and will seemingly shoot straight up into the air. The sound is sometimes ear shattering if they fly too low. On the night of Feb. 15 I was returning from Louisville. The night sky was relatively clear, but very black as it can get down this way. I noticed a large bright light just over the canopy of the trees. At first I thought it was a very bright star, again not unusual down this way. The light became larger the closer I drove. It was not distant like a star or the moon. I came to the point of emission just past Union Band Church. The light was bright white, a lozenge shape, and fixed, seemingly about a 1/4 mile in the air. There was no noise, the wind was blowing, I felt my large vehile move. The light had various spots of yellow and red on the outside edge. I continued travelling and the light receeded out of my vision and became obstructed by the canopy of trees as I descended into the valley. This may very well be a helicopter, of some sort. I have never experienced one able to maneuver quite like this. When a helicopter flies at night with a light that bright the viewer usually sees a beam the light creates. This light was not a beam. It seemed to have movement within the light. Not pulses but movement like the way light moves within a static globe. I just wanted to record this event before I lost part of the memory of its appearance in my mind. Time does strange things to the way things look. By the way, I have searched the daytime area where this occured. There are no cell towers on any of the ridges nearby. I simply saw something I cannot rationally explain.

On that night it was very cold. I had carried the trash out and notice a bright light at the horizon. Being fascinated by all things in space I just stood there and watched. I lived by myself then and had no camera. I was so fascinated I might not have thought of it anyway. I had a very rare opportunity to watch this craft move very slow and was moving due west. I would guess it was moving less than 20mph I am not sure the duration of time elapsed But as it moved closer I knew this was not a normal thing. It passed over my next door neighbors house and even cast enough light to see shadows. It move so slow that I was able to really get a great look. To my eyes it would be as long as a pencil help at arms length. And as reported by others it made no sound. I remember thinking ";there is no sound." I told all of my friends and family. Drew everyone a picture and talked about it for months. About 3 years ago a friend call me to tell me he had seen exactly what I drew on TV. Wishing I had seen it to, life went on. Tonight on the Discovery channel I saw the show about sightings and so the video shot by another sighting. The craft in the video is what I saw. I could not ever describe it better. The really strange part was it flew backwards, flying with a flat side first. I had not ever seen this footage until tonight. The cold chills that I had that night have returned.

Large Triangle

This event has been bugging me for years.

I was driving back to my parents house with my girlfriend at the time. We had just been out on a date, and it was a warm evening outsude. I was driving my mother's minivan, and we had the windows down because it was nice out. The road my parent's house in on was, at the time, in a semi-rural suburban area. It was a very clear night with lots of stars, no moon from what i recall.

When we were about 2 miles away, I saw a dark shape above the treeline in the direction we were headed. Even though it was very dark, there was still some ambient light from philadelphia on the horizon below the treeline. Because of that, I could define space that was much darker then the surrounding sky. I pointed the shape out to my girlfriend, and we both thought it had to be a cloud. Then we realized that it seemed to be moving. Then we thought it must be some sort of flat looking blimp. We could see no lights on it whatsoever, which we thought was very odd for an aircraft at night.

When we were approximately 1/2 mile from home, we saw that the object was much larger and closer then we thought, and then it was moving over us. I slowed the car down to almost a stop and stuck my head out the window to see what it was. It made no noise at all, and blocked out a very large portion of the stars. i was able to see that it was roughly triangular in shape- though i can't be certain of that fact because it all happened so fast and unexpectedly. I didn't see any visible markings or lights, and it wasn't moving at a high rate of speed.

We both sort of laughed the whole thing off and never talked about it again.

I have been at a loss ever since to explain what it was, since aircraft flying at night have some sort of lights. I'd also expect some sort of noise, even from a low-flying blimp- should one decide to float around in the dark at low altitudes.
