Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: North
Angle of Elevation: 70
Closest Distance: Two to four miles
Estimated Speed: Slow and move and then gone
Explanation: Aircraft - Possible


I saw what looked like a massively oversized B-17 flying fortress that moved and existed impossibly.

I looked to my left and saw a silvery gray object too large for a small passenger plane at least a good two miles to my left. It looked far too large to be what I thought it was, as it carried a silhouette nearly identical to a B-17 flying fortress. That said I also must add that anything with even a matte finish would show some palpable amount of light reflection in the early morning sun. It seemed solid grey over the farmland. Even if I had gone mad my mind knows better. How could such a mental ruse fool me? My mind knows better than to think such a crazy would show stormcloud grey in the sun. I felt my vehicle hitting the shoulder as it seemed to stop its motion. I swerved back to the road and in that two seconds it was gone. I slowed to a snail's pace, rolled down my window, looked at the entire horizon and found not a trace of anything. Gone across 3/4 of the horizon in two seconds time?

Characteristics: Lights on object, Landed

Small UFO craft landed in my Garden at night leaving landing impressions like stands.

This happened just after dark around 22:30. I saw a flash of light on my TV screen that was connected to an outside security camera. Which caught my attention. There were two lights on the ground in my garden that was about 100 feet from my house. I watched the light rise up to about 10 feet and the two turn into lights moving counter clockwise direction around a craft. The craft was not big. Probably less than 10 feet across. Couldn't see a shape for the lights. It hovered up, back and forth, and then drifted off to the east into the wooded area and up into the sky.

The next morning, I went to investigate any damage done to my garden and you could see some mashed vines and leaves where it had been sitting or hovering. Large round impressions about 12 inches, but not deep.

Very bright star like figure, near an airplane that was possibly Abducted but this star like fugure

So, I am younger than you can say an adult, but I was in my moms car, and I was staring at the sky, then I glance to the left, and a light appears, it was very faint at first, then after a period of around 10 seconds it got brighter and brighter, Then I screamed to my brother, and said, "Do you see that light?!" and I pointed to it, and he saw it.

After a period of around 8 seconds, it just sat there, then all of the sudden a second object appears, But I don't think it was a UFO, it looked somewhat like a plane. It had wings like an airplane, But there was something strange, they weren't moving. and they were in the sky at around 135 degrees South West, and all of the sudden, the second object, which was the one that looked like an airplane, faded away to the direction of the first object and this took around 5 seconds, but which felt very slow, and after these seconds, the 2nd object disappeared and after around 10 seconds, the first object, faded away at the same speed as it got bright. I would describe the first object as being like a star, like the north star, circular, but I couldn't see the object clearly because of how bright it was, the light was the same as a star, but it couldn't be a star because how early it was and my street is kind of light polluted, so you can't see stars until relatively late at night.

I had Always been fascinated by strange things, such as the paranormal. But I always had this fear of when you read or watch something, or imagine it, it would become real. This terrifies me, because i've never thought they'd be real but they are. And I know I am not lying, and i'm still terrified from this event. I don't care if you don't believe it's real, but I know it in my heart an mind that I saw this, and something I will never forget. Now I know that we are not alone, and no one can take this knowledge away from my heart, such a terrifying sight it was. At second thought, I think That airplane may have been abducted, but I am not sure. I think this may have been a reason for the flights that have disappeared over years. Well that will put an end to description and explanation. If you read this, please note that I am not trying to waste your time, and I seriously believe in what I saw. Thank you for your time.

Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

Circular bright object flying in sky from north to south along Lake Michigan in Shelby, Michigan.

We were enjoying the meteor shower on the beach of Lake Michigan off the private community of Cobmoosa Shores in Shelbym Michigan. We witnessed several shooting stars and satellites. It was myself, my partner, our 12 year old son and his friend. This bright circle sphere oval was very large and coming from the north. It travelled past us and we continued to watch it and suddenly it disappeared. While we were observing the only person who had a phone was my son and I asked him to take a video but he didn’t LISTEN and just took a picture. As clear as the sky was though the only thing that pleated was this unifentified flying object, not even a single star of the millions we seen showed up with it.

We continued to watch after this observation to see if satellites disappeared or we could see across the whole sky we could. We watched airplanes to see the same.

On our way home near Kokomo, Indiana, strange things were happening on our car map which made me look into things and figured I should report this.

Drove from utah to michigan with wide and daughters to get my son and was staying with my sister and parents at their place in shelby. I belive it was the night of 5 august 2016, between 11pm and midnight, and my brother and I was outside drinking it up as I had to head back to utah the next morning. My brother said ((deleted)) dude is that a ufo? I said your drunk dude I don't see anything.

Then he pointed it out to me. It was to the west, like over lake michigan, which was about 15 mins away. It looked like a star but would change to a lite blue, to red, to star white. It would move from left to right then down then up and back left, and then go though it's colors again. I couldn't belive it and ran inside and woke my whole family up. My dad was amazed, my mom and sisters didn't know what to think, my daughters were amazed, and it freaked the heck out of my 13 yr old son. We can't have been the only ones to see this. It was incredible!

White star looking object that grew very large, and disappeared.

At first, I thought I was looking at an star, then realized it was moving. The light increased to a very large size, then dimmed quickly and disappeared.

I watched for a while after to see if it would reappear and there was nothing.

I have worked in the space industry for many years so this caught me off guard, as it was like nothing I have witnessed before.

Strange cloud trail in the sky

Was at the park eating dinner. When my son and I heard what sounded like gunshots being fired. And a few minutes later my son says to me, look at that formation in the sky. What is that? it wasn't a typical cloud formation like you see from a plane. It was straight across, with two vertical lines set close together coming downward. It was to big to be a kids rocket or school project. It lasted for about 20 minutes or so then vanished.

Duration: 1 minute
No of observers: 2

Location: Shelby, OH, USA

Shape: Formation


Multiple occurrences of several white lights in formation moving rapidly, moving quickly in and out of formation.

I was standing outside at around 1920 hours with two coworkers when one of my coworkers asked me if I see the "triangle formation" of lights, pointing to the south. When I looked I did not see what he was referring to. However, as we stood outside several minutes later I witnessed first hand a formation of rapidly moving "white" lights, moving from a north to south general direction. When I observed the lights it appeared that at first, they were in a pointed formation similar to a chevron, however as they moved, the lights were moving in and out of formation randomly. For example, some of the lights moved ahead of the others periodically, and then back, as others did the opposite. There were approximately 10 or 12 of these lights in this particular instance. Our viewing angle was approximately 120 to 150 degrees from where we were standing to the objects in question. Approximately 5 minutes later, a third set of lights was seen, a! lso traveling the same trajectory as the previously mentioned. However, there were only about 5 of the lights in this occurrence. These particular lights were moving very rapidly as well, but in more of a "line" formation, semi-diagonal in nature from a north to south direction. These particular lights did not appear to move out of formation as the aforementioned. About 10 minutes later, myself and one of the two witnessing coworkers made a fourth observance of these lights, this time there were four lights in total. The lights were much brighter this time, and coming from a more eastern direction heading west, south-west. These four lights were packed much closer together, and weaving in and out of their formation rapidly. As they approached our position, they changed course to a more southern direction very rapidly. Each visual lasted approx. one minute, with the last one lasting slightly longer. There was no sound associated with these occurrences, and! no other visible anomalies associated with them.

These objects did not appear to be accompanied by any sounds, although they appeared to be very low to the ground. The second set appeared to change shape in a similar manner to a flock of birds. All the flight paths were straight, in a north west to south west trajectory.

Shape: Orb


Silver reflective sphere hovering stationary over field

While traveling west on U.S. 74 from Shelby towards Boiling Springs, NC. I was riding as a passenger, in the back seat, on the drivers side, I was looking across the freshly cut cotton fields for deer when I noticed a very large, silver/chrome colored orb hovering above the field. I had been watching the sky this morning due to the many con-trails being left by the high flying aircraft in the area. This was very different than the many aircraft I had seen, it was much larger, and closer than the high flying aircraft that were in the area. It had no wings or lights that I could tell. It was a very shiny, chrome-like orb, and much larger than any other object in the otherwise clear sky.

I pointed it out to my brother that was in the front passengers seat. He also saw the object and could not figure out what it was either. After about 30 seconds the tree line partially blocked our view so I asked my dad to make the next left turn onto Beaver Dam Church Road heading south directly towards the area the orb was observed. When we cleared the trees, less than a minute later, there was nothing at all in the otherwise clear sky.

Massive Large Fireball Shoots from SouthWest to NorthEast in North Eastern Ohio 10/04/2013 10:48pm

On October 4th, 2013, the exact Time that I seen the first sights of a giant redball flying rapidly fast was 10:48pm, Just between Cleveland And Columbus Ohio, lays a small unheard of city called Shelby located in Richland county. At the Time I was walking to my house to the car I seen the GIANT light coming from the South SouthWest Sky heading rapidly fast towards the North Northeast. This was taking place so fast and only lasted around 30-45 seconds before fainting North Northeast, However I did manage to snap a quick photo of the giant ball of fire. The light was brighter then a Stop Sign color Red. Very Large and, Very Bright!, I started to think about the size was about the size of a forth of the Moon, but in other terms I compared it to a airplane flying 30,000 miles above land, An airplane to me in the sky way up there looks small, if this however was a meteor it probably was way farther up and to still be that Large in Size tells you just how large t! his object was in Size. I really would like to thank you for reading my blog, and maybe with this information we can track down and determine what this object was and, get to the Object,

As I was driving south to southwest it fell straight down in the distance, maybe 5 miles ahead and I first noticed at the uppermost part of the windshield,it was extremely bright and very large and fell straight down until it disappeared behind the tree line. I assumed it would have fell in or near Lay Lake (Coosa River). I assumed it was a solar panel, but being so well shaped and showing no tail or flame or smoke it seemed odd.

March 28, 2008 I sighted two orange objects stationary near Sirius. One orange star like in appearance was at the three o’clock position and the other was at the six o’clock position neat the star Sirius. I was looking at Orion’s belt and other early appearing stars and noticed that the object at three o’clock was moving to the south slowly. It moved as small distance and the six o’clock started following. They both moved south for a few seconds and became very bright white and them zipped at extreme speed south and was gone! These two objects were stationary for at least fifteen minutes before they moved. I was thinking about getting out my 16 inch telescope but decided not too because of the clouds moving in all around.

I have always been a skeptic about UFO sightings but now I am no longer.

Very bright, seemed to be coming out from lake michigan, stayed same color then started to pulsate.

At about 10:40PM-Me and my brother were outside by my dad's camper and we were looking at the stars last night since there were so many of them. We seen satellites and falling stars..and witnessed a couple of strange things actually..but i dont know if i should just talk about them all at once..The one that caught my eye when i was looking out to lake michigan was very dim at first..i could see it coming our way from about 5 miles away probably..i noticed it first because there was a very bright planet next to the direction it was coming from. As it got to where me and my brother were it was very bright..brighter than satellites are and it wasnt that high up as a satellite is..id say it was about 1,000 ft. maybe..but didnt look too high...maybe because of the brightness of it..and i also had binoculars with me but i couldnt make out any shape because it was hazy looking in the binoculars..so i ran to the other side of the house and it was still there, it was traveling on an angle..going northeast. As it was getting to where i almost couldnt see it anymore it started to pulsate..on and off to dim to bright again about 4 times it did this..and then it was gone..to where i couldnt see it anymore..and then about 15 minutes later,time was prolly around 11:10PM- i noticed this very fast moving object, it had to of been going 2,000 miles per hour..this thing was cruising..it was bright and pulsating also..This one was above my house but way up..but still very bright to be noticed. I ran to the other side of the house but it was already gone..not from the speed of it but i beleive it just disappeared. The third object about 11:30--12 midnight- i seen coming from the northwest was very bright moving pretty fast but not that fast..then it got to where i could hardly see it..like a speck of salt..but i could still see it because i have very good eyes. This all happened in the same night, and the time between seeing each object was close together.

Driving home from work on US 31, I noticed what appeared to be a jet in a cloudless blue ski to my west. The object appeared out over lake michigan near the coast a few thousand feet up in the ski. I kept looking at the what I thought was a plane (Many jets fly over this area close to my home), I could not see the wings. The object was shiny silver with some dark. Usually I notice planes moving but this object appeared to be stationery. I kept looking at the object expecting to see some movement or wing but did not. At the last citing if it were a plane it would not have left my viewing ( I have seen many jets). The object simply vanished.

I am a long haul driver that drives through the states every week. It was a clear night in Montana on December 1,2004 at 11:40pm. As I was driving all of a sudden out of the corner of my eye I saw a flash. An orange,glowing circular (app. basketball size)shot out of the sky travelling extremely fast. I saw it for app. 5 sec, then it just disapered! I stopped the truck, woke my husband up and we went to look for it.

We tried to look for vapors emitting from it, we couldn't hear nothing, smell nothing, we could not see anything with our flashlights. This happened between mile marker 377 and 375 on the west side of the road I figured that the object if it did hit the ground was about 100 to 300 yards from the highway.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 36193
Occurred: 1978-09-15 23:00 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2004-04-10 17:29 Pacific
Duration: 10 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Shelby, OH, USA

Shape: Triangle


Triangular, slow moving object with no lights and very low altitude outside of Shelby

I am an electronics engineer and had had a strong interest in astronomy and UFO's for about 10 years at the time of the sighting.

My sister and I were going home from a friends house in Willard this nite. The sky was clear and there were many stars out.

We were outside of Shelby about 2 miles so there werent many lights other than the background light from the stars.

We were on a road with very rough railroad tracks so we were almost at a stand-still at the time. Something caught my eye and I looked up. It was a huge triangular shaped object I estimate to have been maybe 50 feet on a side. It traveled right over the car we were in and only about20 to 25 feet above us and moving very slow. Too slow it seemed to stay airborne.

It had no lights on it and the only sound heard was the sound of something slicing through the air. No motor or propulsion noise.

We were able to make out the shape due to the background lighting.

We sat and watched it for 5 to 10 minutes until it disappeared beyond some trees in the distance.

It never changed direction or altitude that we could tell. It traveled from west to east at not more than 35 or 40 MPH.

Contact me via e-mail if you wish.

We watched it for

NUFORC UFO Sighting 47300
Occurred: 1978-07-08 00:30 Local
Reported: 2005-10-30 18:43 Pacific
Duration: 5 mins
No of observers: 2

Location: Shelby, NC, USA

Shape: Light


A bright light that turned into 2 lights and shot off in two separate directions.

I know it's a little late to report this but I felt it needed to be done.

While visting my father (exact date estimated), upon leaving, I noticed a bright light in the sky above the field across the street. I called my dad outside on the front porch to verify what I was seeing in the sky.

After a couple of minutes the bright light separated into 2 lights suspended in the sky.

After a minute or so both lights shot off into different directions.

My dad and i looked at each other in confused amazement then I left, never to mention this until now.

This was witnessed shortly after midnight in Shelby,NC, in 1978.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 90661
Occurred: 1977-06-01 17:00 Local
Reported: 2012-07-08 16:15 Pacific
Duration: seconds
No of observers: 3

Location: Shelby, OH, USA

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Landed

Ferris Wheel in shape and design glass in appearance and lights lining the frame

The UFO looked like a ferris wheel and was rotating as such with bright lights on the edge and the exterior was glass.

When we observed it at Plymouth Springmill and Shelby Ganges Road it only stayed for a few seconds then quickly disappeared into the sky.

It was located on the north east corner of the intersection.

We never told anyone about this because we thought they would think we were nuts.
