Have iPhone video reviewed it and have airplane passes below it.

Whatever it was seemed to glow and expand/contract. It stayed in the general area for maybe 25 minutes. When I went back out around 9:00pm it was gone.

I’ve had this for awhile because there’s always an explanation to something. I’m just not sure what that something is.

Besides family your site is the only one I’ve shared this with.

Location: Anderson, SC, USA
Location details: In Sky NW towards or Past i85.

Shape: Formation


Me & wife observed 3-4 object(s) in triad/diamond formation stationary in sky exhibiting characteristics of birefringence.

The sides/edges of the object(s) continued to disappear and re-appear translucently, as if light were refracting around edges- object(s) appeared to refract light with the translucent parts having a different index of refraction, at different intervals (you could see 1 side, then you couldn't, then you could see another side (translucently), then you couldn't, etc.), indicating visual light behavior having characteristics of birefringence. No discernable lights. Object(s) were ~ >1 mile away (either varying sizes or varying distances from point of view). Observed for approximately 45 minutes (object(s) remained after observation ended). When describing ephemeral sides/edges of the object as translucent: Not milky, similar to hot exhaust, or predator camouflage from movie Predator (great performance by Arnold) and to reiterate, clearly with discernible edges and in formation, not gas-like, in regards to related phenomenon. Implied (s) in object(s) to indicate multiple objects or one object emitting instances of other objects open-ended (similar to non-human versus extraterrestrial denotation).

NUFORC Note:

Birefringence is the optical property of transparent, molecularly ordered materials that causes light to split into two rays. The two rays are called the ordinary ray and the extraordinary ray. The extraordinary ray is bent at an angle as it travels through the material.

Bright stationary object that appeared to speed directly away.

I occasionally spend time on my back deck observing space debris flyovers. I am very well versed in observing the ISS and space debris that is in orbit, and the way it reacts to light from the sun in relation to brightness and fading. Tonight it is a totally clear sky, so just after dark I decided to look for random space debris flyovers.

While looking at approximately 275 degrees (WSW) at an elevation of approximately 75-80 degrees, I noticed what I assumed was a bright star. It was completely stationary and after about 10-15 seconds, began to dim. I thought this was odd since their is absolutely no clouds in my area tonight, and I could see stars all around the object.. The object regained brightness then it appeared to begin to decrease in size as if it was moving directly away from me. Then in an instant it was gone.

As I stated previously, I am well versed in observing space debris, this object was stationary and brighter than any stars in the sky, that is what drew my attention to it. I live in a rural area without any significant lighting to interfere with viewing.

On two previous occasions I observed an object that moved across the sky from north to south and then stop almost directly over my location, and remain stationary for an extended period of time until the shadow of the earth caused them to fade away. I assumed these objects were probably satellites that were being moved to a new geosynchronous orbit, so I did not bother reporting them. Tonight was a different deal altogether. I have also seen Iridium flares and I am sure that this was not one of them. I decided to report this, because I am 100% confident that what I saw was unlike anything I have witnessed from a man made object, at least the ones that I am aware of. I also decide to report on the outside chance that others might have seen and reported.

I was outside around 0:30 when I seen several objects of light flying through the sky and maneuvering ways we can’t yet.

August 9, 2016 Let me start by saying that I have always believed that we are not alone in this universe. In the past year I have become more and more interested in finding out the truth and why the government is trying to keep it secret! I had been watching a tv program called “Ancient Aliens: Declassified and “Project Blue Book”when I decided that I would watch the sky at night periodically. I truly wasn’t optimistic about this because I figured my state would obviously have very few sightings if any at all.

Two months ago, I was at my sisters house and we were outside on the porch. I just happened to be looking at the sky between the trees when I saw bright light (I just thought was a star) and just watched for a minute or less because the light was moving then quickly shot across the sky like a flash of light. I asked my sister if she seen it and she said no and laughed at me. Since then I haven’t discussed what I see with anyone unless they are at least open to the fact that what I’m saying is true! I’ve seen few more since then but hadn’t been very consistent with watching the sky. Last night I decided to go outside with my granddaughter and look at the stars. It was a clear night and a great night to find/see a falling star! My granddaughter went in the open garage to play for a little while and I continued to watch the sky when I noticed that to the left of me, when I began to notice many (more than I’ve ever seen fly in at the same time) airplanes flying towards our airport. I couldn’t to keep watching because it seemed peculiar and I wondered why. While I was watching the sky I noticed 2 lights in the sky that almost looked like stars but I noticed that they were kind of twinkling and moving together in the same direction. First they went right, down, then appeared to be kind of heading toward the airport, when the one I could keep track of made almost a complete circle. We don’t have anything on Earth that could fly that fast or maneuver in that way! I could not ! make out a shape because it was to far away but the bright light and maneuvering techniques fascinated me enough to find out how to report it and who to report it to!

Thank you for listening. I hope it wasn’t to long and drawn out.

Riding down the road and we saw 50-75 flying objects Different shapes the were spread out and all went in single file into the clouds.

My granddaughter and I were driving down the Main Street in Anderson, SC. She told me to lookin the sky. There was between 50 to 75 objects hovering in the sky. A couple had lights... they just kind of moved around and then began going into the sky in a line.

It was very low grey clouds and they disappeared into them.

I have pictures of it. I cannot figure out what it could be.

I did call the police dept and reported what we saw.

Growing up at the base of Mount Shasta am used to a lot of stars. Well this night upon awakening I saw a lot of stars as I was turning away I saw movement. Looking closer I saw movement. Moving the speed of a plane (being a F-14 mechanic in the Navy), these star shaped objects reached the south side of Mt. Lassen and started doing curly Q's and half moons then disappeared.

I am used to counting geese fly over so pretty sure of the number. Strange.

I believe that I witnessed some other worldly tonight despite being skeptical about such things.

I am not one to assume anything strange upon first seeing something out of place. I generally assume there is a logical explanation for almost everything that can be observed with the naked eye. Tonight however, I witnessed something unusual and inexplicable.

I was fishing at a local pond facing northward when I saw 3 lights obviously at high altitude. Living near airports growing up gives you a unique frame of reference. They were either three objects moving at very high speed in formation, or a single massive object.

I could see most of the stars and constellations over me, to the east and to the west, however, their were hazy clouds in the distance where I was facing and after 2-3 minutes it began to become obscured by those clouds.

I have witnessed this many times and would have thought little of it except without a drastic change in the objects heading there was a major clearing not far to the east of where It disappeared. I watched hoping to get another look thinking I might ascertain what it was, but it never reappeared.

That is the point at which I reached the conclusion that this was not something normal, nor could it be explained by logic or common sense. The lights were steady, with an equal distance between them however as far away as it was that distance appeared as if it could have easily covered a football field between the each light.

There were no flashing lights, there were also no sounds which was also very strange. I have witnessed hundreds of passenger jets fly overhead and their are distinct characteristics. I saw both but the solid lights moving rapidly until the vanished and there was never a sound.

Black object with luminescence seen in western sky moving south east.

At about 10:15 A.M., I was talking to my neighbor outside on my porch, when I noticed high in the western sky a black orb looking object with luminescence. I then ran inside and grabbed my camera. The object was slowly moving south east, but stopped and changed directions several times, even moving north. There were times when it was not moving at all. It also seemed to cloak at times and bi-locate once (jump from one space to another) and there may have been a couple other white orbs in the vicinity.

It's hard to describe the shape of this object, and I will let the video footage speak for itself. It was not a balloon because it was changing directions, stopping, appeared to cloak a few times, and was even motionless at times. My neighbor and I witnessed these strange aerial phenomena for about twenty minutes. They just seemed to vanish into thin air and disappeared out of site.

I was unable to capture on video the other orbs because there were no background clouds for reference, so I couldn't see them in my camera. I was astonished at what I was seeing. The object just seemed to vanish in thin air as it was heading north. I have two video clips. The one with me talking is at normal speed. It is quite shaky, because I did not have a tripod. In the second clip, I slowed the video down two times and added a sound effect for entertainment purposes. You will see at 53 seconds, in the slow video, that the object appears to materialize out of thin air, or de-cloak. My neighbor was with me, but could not see the black object, but he claimed to see three others nearby.

I’ve never seen anything ever reported that looked like what I saw!

Indiana witness at Anderson recalled a UFO event from 2015 where the object was “as big as a football field” and just 300 feet overhead, according to testimony in Case 82148 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was walking home after a third shift in November 2015 when the incident occurred.

“No cars were out,” the witness stated. “Just me walking down the middle of a major road.” The witness saw the UFO out of the corner of his eye.

​ “I turned to the right and saw the huge, stretched, diamond-shaped spaceship. It had orange lights on all sides of it. It was just floating in a straight line heading east. No noise, no fumes. It was massive. Floating 200 feet above me.”

Bright floating tinfoil looking object.

I was walking home from the store, and almost home, when I observed in the eastern sky above my neighborhood numerous white and different color objects that looked like floating paper or tinfoil. They were lit up or reflecting light, and were coming out of nowhere, and never landed (except we saw one headed toward the earth). The rest of them just disappeared; some went across the complete sky. They were just floating sporadically around with no visible means of propulsion and no particular direction, and then just disappeared.

I ran inside the house to get my camera, and got a little footage of one object. I have the video in slow motion. The second object I saw today (8/9/16). It looked like floating tinfoil high in the eastern sky, and stayed in the same spot for about three minutes or so, and then headed west. I chased it but lost sight, and I never saw it land. Keep in mind, the camera was shaking when I recorded.

This sighting was at about 5:30 P.M. Last year, I did the Robert Bingham UFO summoning technique, and managed to get a couple sightings. However, this year I have now had four sightings in the space of a month, even though I stopped the summoning technique. It seems like I opened a portal, and these things are swarming in.

While outside, I observed a very high flying craft above an aircraft which was in the area and well above the broken clouds. At 1st it was head NE from the SW. When I first observed it I assumed it was a satellite or the space station which I have watch in the past, until it made a hard left right turn, followed by a very fast u turn to the left.

I can honestly say I've never seen anything move so quick and make turns like it was doing in my life!

It ended up traveling west at a very very fast speed.

We live in a rural area at least 7 miles to the nearest small town.

My wife took our dogs out that night so they could do their business before calling it a night. She called me to the front door to look at what she was seeing in the night sky. One of our dogs will bark at any and everything but he made no sound.

Three lights were flashing with equal brightness and equal separation as witnessed from our front yard. The lights appeared to be a foot apart along a straight axis when the object passed beyond a tree line that is 300 yards away. There was no audible sound from the object. It passed beyond a tree line that is 450 yards away and then back again.

Before the flying object passed from sight the last time, the lights on my truck that was parked in a shed came on by their self. When the object was out of sight the lights on my truck went off.

One orb of light shooting away from the smoke, another orb of light behind smoke, and one beam of light coming from top of the smoke.

The 3 of us were at Walmart, and right next to Walmart is some sort of factory that always has white smoke coming from these giant pipes. I wanted to take a picture of the smoke in the sky, and so I did.

But when I went back to review, in the picture it looked like some sort of orb of light was shooting out and away from the white smoke. There was another orb of light inside or behind the smoke, it looked as if it was not moving.

There was also a beam of light coming from the top of the smoke.




NUFORC Note:

We suspect that the stripe of light that appears to be radiating from the top of a column of steam is a lens flare, caused by the camera's being pointed at the Sun, but we cannot be certain. PD

Driving, saw a small dot in the sky. brighter than anything else... was sort of an orangish color, about 45 seconds later, disappeared.

I was driving, And I saw a dot in the sky, it was 5 o'clock, so I am sure it wasn't a phone tower's light. Its shape was like a BB, It was glowing orange, and about thirty seconds later, I had driven under a tree, and that blocked the view for a few seconds. But after I passed the tree, it was gone... I didn't see any aircraft or anything else near it.

We were in the pool looking up watching meteors appear. We saw 3 meteors and only one seemed to appear brighter and flamed out. Then about 3 mins later a gray shape appeared in the eastern portion of the sky line. we stood up and pointed at this gray shape that I thought were a flock of birds until it changed shape. This shape change appeared to look like a stingray and flapped its wings. It took 3 to 5 seconds to cross the skyline above our pool. We could not see thru this object. This object was totally silent. The size of the object was like holding up a quarter and looking at it as though it was in the sky. This object was oval and oblong and seemed to have winged points expand from the sides. This object moved from the east to the west directly above our pool. I thought it was migratory birds. No lights and No sounds. This sighting was extremely odd. no planes were in the sky. At this time the sky was clear and bright. we both spoke at length as to wha! t just happened. We believe we saw an object larger than a bird. larger than 100 birds that fly around each other to keep warm. Not a plane because no lights or sounds. This object took the shape of a stingray but we could not make out any tail.

This sighting made such an impression that we spoke about filing a notice. Something did fly over our head and was silent with no lights or sound.

I saw a whole fleet of white and beautiful UFO orbs. There was one other witness. I summoned them.

I had a major UFO sighting today. This afternoon I experimented with Robert Bingham's UFO summoning technique. I did not get any obvious results. I then walked to the store to get some food and a pair of binoculars. When I was walking home I saw a white orb moving from South to North. I then communicated with it telepathically, and asked it to come closer. Then the one orb divided into a whole fleet of brilliant and spectacular white orbs, forming a whole fleet of about one hundred orbs, and moving from North to South. I could not believe my eyes, and stood there in total shock. This man happened to be walking by me, and I pointed to the orbs. He also saw them. He just happened to have a knife, and cut open the plastic container holding my binoculars. We both looked through the binoculars and saw the UFO fleet. The whole vision lasted about five minutes. And then right before my eyes the orbs vanished. I tried to record on my Flip video recorder, but since i! t has horrible zoom, I could not see anything. I was in such an exuberant state anyway that I don't think I even focused on the right spot. I was too excited. I cannot even describe the shock and emotions I was experiencing.

On October 13, 2014, at around 3:30 P.M. I saw what looked like a white orb high in the sky moving slowly from East to West. There was no sound and no smoke. It's possible it was a balloon, but I could not tell because it was too high and moving into the Sun light.

Standing on the 7th floor balcony, myself and three others watched a red orange ball coming towards us at a good click. It would change direction instantaneously.

There was no sound associated with the craft at all.

After 2-3 mins, it disappeared.

Very disturbing to myself and the others.

I tried to get video of it but my cellphone struggled to located the object due to the night lights of the city.

March 7th, 2014 While driving near Hanna High school in Anderson SC on March 7, 2014, around 7:30 pm, my wife and I noticed a bright orange light in the sky. It was similar to a ball of fire.

It was Northwest and either standing still or moving very slowly.

As we sat and watched, it began moving north and then the light began going on and off.

Then it totally disappeared.

Red lower w/pink band upper, burning/glowing cube shaped object, made a sharp right angle change of direction.

Hi Peter,

I have finally decided to post this sighting my wife and I experienced. It was the 4th of July, 2013 or 14, and as you can imagine, there were lots of pyrotechnics going off around the neighborhood. We weren't shooting any but were sitting in our back yard watching and listening to everyone else play. It sounds like a war zone in our neighborhood every 4th and this night was no exception. We don't see most of the rockets because of the trees surrounding our property but get an occasional glimpse of the bigger ones.

I was sitting, facing SW with my wife on my right facing S. I glanced up and noticed a large glowing/shimmering/burning object coming over the trees drifting due west (L to R) around 20 mph (?). It was probably a half inch square-ish at arms length and was almost directly overhead, somewhat south of the zenith. I immediately assumed it was fireworks debris from a large rocket drifting overhead. Within 5 seconds it was clear it was not. I shouted to my wife, "Check it out!" I haven't read many reports with this description, it was virtually square, the lower 80% glowing/shimmering cherry red identical to a campfire coal, the top 20% a horizontal band of pink, same characteristics. The object and the edges all around were as indistinct as, like I said, a glowing coal in the heart of a fire.

We jumped up and she asked, "What is it?!!". Obviously, I had no idea, but we trotted uphill in our yard to get a better look, it is still drifting fast L to R, and suddenly veers due south and flies out of sight over the horizon. The wind was 5 mph at the most and variable.

We were really excited because it was her first real "unknown" sighting of any ufo stuff, and because it was obviously unique and unidentifiable. It was DEFINITELY not debris. How do I know?, because her brother and his girlfriend came to visit over the next 3 days, and 2 nights after the first sighting, (we had shared our story and gotten the "yeah, right..." reaction) my wife was at work so it was myself and the couple visiting. There were no fireworks. We were sitting outside in a different location on the patio, gazing north and I was expounding on our sighting and was saying, "Man, I just wish ya'll could have seen what we saw..." Well, after I had said this about 3-4 times, (I kept getting up and down, looking at the night sky.) I had just looked around and had my back to the north when he says, "Look!" I turned around and it was the exact same thing, and I said, "That's it!!!". It was drifting R to L this time (We were facing north.) at the same speed as before, in a straight line. He and I jumped up and ran to the end of our street because it went behind a large tree. It had dimmed a lot and faded out completely within a few seconds. Both times I would guess the object was at about 500-1000 feet. These were very clear observations.

For what it's worth, I am an aviation mechanic with nearly 40 yrs working on aircraft and a navy vet. I have considered a drone, but it was a fiery, glowing object and I do not believe that to be the case. Damn near square, but with distorted edges like a coal. My best night sighting by far. I have had a few other interesting sightings through the years, maybe I will share those some other time. There was no noise the first night except random explosions from fireworks and no noise whatsoever on the second occasion.

Thanks for "listening".

Was driving down 85 and saw what can only be described as a HUGE ripple of silver thin paper like material as big as a football field. I was shocked and sped up to try and get another clear shot but trees were blocking. It was AMAZING and eerie, I have seen UFOs in the past but this thing was truly mind boggling. It was 7pm (Approx) and still daylight. The shine reminded me of the shine on christmas timsel.

Orange and red ball of lights moving slowing

Observed orange ball surrounded by red flying over house and seemingly very close to ground. Appeared to be moving very slowly and following a straight path. It gradually got dimmer until gone. It did not appear to disappear because of distance, but rather just gradually “go out”. Then another appeared about 30 seconds later and followed same path and did same gradual disappearance. When this second one was overhead, another one appeared over the trees behind house. They were close together. This “trail” of lights following same path, moving slowly, no noise, and gradually disappearing involved about 10 lights over about 15 minutes. This is Memorial Day weekend and maybe these were some type of flares floating as a result of some fireworks. But, we live in more of a country setting and as the lights appeared coming over the trees there were no indication of firework “sounds”. This was close to Hartwell Lake.

There appeared three large red lights vertical to the ground.. I kept waiting for them to move one way or the other which they didn't. I watched for a little less than a minute. I could see a fighter jet approaching the same area from the lower left of the red lights. As I watched both, the red lights disappeared and the jet came to that area..

The first week of Jan. 2013 I saw a bright white light that dropped several thousand feet and went out as jets approached from both sides.

I'm seventy years old and have been watching the skies since I could look up and I have never seen anything, all the time wishing that I could> Now two sightings in two months.. I'm outside at all hours of the day and night because I don't smoke in my house.

I know I can't be the only one to have seen these two incidences...

8 red lights approached from the S heading NW

8 red lights brighter than plane lights, hovered high above our house for about 3 minutes. Then 5 disappeared where they were floating, and three suddenly shot off so far into the distance that they were almost on the horizon, 10 seconds after the 5 disappeared. About 5 seconds after the move, one of them faded with a duration of about 3 seconds. Then the remaining two joined together into one light and faded with a duration of approximately 15 seconds.

Large unbelievably fast moving object that was like looking through a smudge on glass or a pool of water in the sky at night.

At approximately 21:45 on March 15, 2012 there was 3 of us standing outside our apartment looking up towards the sky. We saw a large object sort of triangle shaped, which looked to be a few 100 feet above us. It was moving to the north west at a very rapid speed and completely silent. The surface of it can only be described as reflective in the night sky. It appeared to have very dim lights, atleast 3-4, but it was more like it was reflecting the city lights. It was almost as if you were looking through a smudge on a window, moving at a rate of speed that was indescribable. Another way to describe it would be like in a Star Trek movie when a Klingon ship was uncloaking. Like a pool of water going across the sky. We only saw it for a few seconds and it disappeared beyond the tree line. Very amazing sight to see. Wish we could describe it better. The size was like that of a boeing 757 flying very low.

11 pulsing lights were seen by 7 witnesses, the lights would go out to become discs.

12:30 AM new years morning in Anderson, Ca. We noticed several red pulsing lights to the south above the tree line. The lights were moving slowly to the right, some were higher from the tree line but both high and low each individual light would become stationary for a moment and then continue. The lights disappeared from the right as if going behind a curtain.

Immediately to the west, over a 20- 30 minute span, lights began rising one, two, or three at a time. Two might start close together but usually separated with one ascending at a faster rate, and drift to the right or left as if following the gravitational pull of the earth, some meandering around on their own accord until the pulsing lights winked out.

It wasn’t until the last three that we noticed that once the pulsing lights winked out, nearly transparent discs continued though the night sky, and just like the lights the discs would pause stationary one moment, then continue in a seemingly impossible trajectory. I focused in bewilderment on one of these discs after ascending as a light continued as a disc traveling from west to south until it too disappeared.

I witnessed this along with 6 other people on new years morning just after midnight. None present were under the influence of alcohol or drugs and all agreed that, what was witnessed was beyond any explanations we could think up.

Moving lights that changed colors and sped away at a high rate of speed.

1-1-12 Report of UFO in Northern California skies, witnessed by 7 people Dec. 31st, 2011 at about midnight.

On Dec. 31st 2011 at my residence, at approximately midnight, 7 witnesses, including myself noticed 8 reddish/orange lights in the southern sky that appeared to be large stars that moved slowly in a westerly direction. The light from them seemed to twinkle and they would sometimes fade in and out. They hovered still for a few minutes, then they started moving west, slowly twinkling/fading in and out, then they disappeared. All 8 seemed to be at a similar distance from the horizon, but not in a parallel line (approximately where the sun would be at 3-4 p.m. at that time of year, but in the south). The weather was calm with no clouds visible. There was no commercial airline traffic visible. In retrospect, I realized that I live in the flight path for commercial air traffic from the south into the Redding Airport. It seemed odd that there were no flights that night.

After they disappeared from the southern sky, 3 more of them appeared in the North Eastern sky, slowly rising from the horizon. They behaved the same as the other’s, except that after a few minutes of hovering and flying around in the same area, they started moving south along the horizon, slowly moving higher in the night sky. When they got about where the sun would be at 11a.m. at that time of year, they changed color to a white/opaque (like a ghost) and shot away in a southerly direction very fast. 2 of them seemed to follow each other in a south westerly direction and 1 went south by itself.

Orange orbs seen in Anderson, Ca.

2-7-13 I’m writing again because I’ve read so many stories and seen videos of the "orange orbs" twinkling and moving mysteriously in the night sky, worldwide. I can’t stop wondering what it was that I and my 26 year old and 18 year old sons and 4 other people witnessed in Anderson, CA,. on New Year’s Eve 2011 at about midnight.

Here’s what I do know, that none of us were drunk, other people in Anderson witnessed it too, they made no sound, there were no other aircraft in the vicinity, we all saw at least 8 of them fly together in the same direction but like they were dancing with each other, or playing "catch me if you can," we saw them move towards us in the southern sky, we then saw them disappear, we then saw 3 of them re-appear in the eastern sky and make a triangle pattern, then 2 of them started to move away from the third, then change from orange to a white ghostly silhouette and suddenly dart away at a faster than humanly possible speed and disappeared in the sky above us.

I posted my story on this website a few days after this event and not surprisingly someone else from Anderson, CA, posted their story, too. We spoke a little online about it, but I never met the other witnesses. I hope to hear from them again someday. As this becomes a more common experience for people, I hope we keep the curiosity up. Don’t become complacent, there is something out there. It’s definitely not Chinese lanterns. It could be a light trick or something to do with laser points of light. It could very well be intelligent beings other than humans. It did kind of creep us out and we did have thoughts about what if it’s something scary and unknown.

I’ve seen video and testimony from witnesses who have seen the same thing and had similar reactions to it from as far back as the 1990’s. It’s just more common to hear of it lately it seems. It reminds me of what early man must have thought about weird things in the night sky. They must of thought the Gods were angry or the world was going to end. I’m not a religious man and I believe that when the world ends for man, it will likely be from our own doings and the world will go on without us just fine.

In the meantime I’ll keep looking up and try not to have a wreck doing it.

On Dec 29,2011 at 2200 I saw 3 glowing orbs over Anderson, California

On December 29, 2011 my daughter, Son in law, granddaughter, and I were returning home at about 2200. While we were unloading the car my Son in law said look at that and he was pointing at the sky.

It was overcast and below the clouds was three round orange glowing objects in a triangle formation. I had my Sony Cybershot camera in my pocket. I took it out switched it to video and pressed the start button. After about a minute one of the orbs moved into the clouds. It was at this time I noticed the camera wasn’t recording so I pushed the start button again and recorded for about a minute and when I stopped the recording the orbs went into the clouds.

We took another load into the house and when we came back out they were back. I took 5 photos and 1 minute of video and they left again. Having a small camera the videos and one of the shots are a little shaky.

The orbs were about a quarter mile away and looked about ½ inch across. orange in color lighter in color in the center. They were in a triangle formation and moving in a slow clockwise rotation then one of them moved into the clouds at which time they stopped rotating. When they returned there were only 2 of them from the time we first saw them until they went into the clouds the last time was about 20 minutes.

Low hanging clouds, with sunrise approximately an hour away, yet. There is a heavy humidity, but no rain. As I'm walking up the driveway, the clouds in front of me light up. Left.(off) Center.(off) Right.(off) ALL OF THEM - the whole sky (so far as I can see), then off.

It's a blue-ish light that appears to come from inside or behind the clouds. It's slow, and crisp - with no random flashes like lightening usually produces. Also, no thunder.

I thought at first that my neighbor was spotlighting deer. When I arrived at work though, my boss had also seen it. He lives appx. 5-7 miles away - as the crow flies.

Possible UFO's hover over Anderson, MO Almost nightly

I was in my field burning trash waiting on my children to bring the water hose,so I could put the fire out. Dark was falling as I was waiting I looked up to the sky and just looked around. To my west I seen this bright light that appeared to be a star until i realizedit was strobing red lights too.There were a total of 3 large lights that spanned the western sky. All three strobbing red light and bright star appearances.My children 1 and 2 got back and i suggested they watch the sky whwile i put the fire out. Darkness had set in.Child 1 said she sees red lights blinking and soon points out 2 more.And then sees several more much smaller ones.Child 2 sees the same thing. We all 3 run up to the house and it appears they are following us,because they are all getting closer to our house.1 can only be seen from our kitchen window.So we get our old telescope out,but have 0 luck locating it.By this point i am shaking and scared for some reason. My 3rd child comes in ! facinated by what is going on.We get out the video camera and start recording.2 times our screen goes blank and i have to restart that video. I zoom in and see an amazing light show.kind of like fireworks but only it is pulsating.We did capture it on video. We also seen helicopters and planes flying and surrounding the object. by this point i call my husband via phone,because i am scared...My child 2 comes in and says there is a white streak of light coming from the object. I didnt look. I was to scared. a few minutes later child 3 comes in to tell me the object is GONE! I said whatever. I thought he was joking,so i got up to check and SURE enough it was!!! I scanned the sky and soon found it again FAR west of us.It is still there right now. I dont know what it is,but it terrifies me,befcause i realized that it was in the same location nearly everynight for the last 5 years. I have joked with my husband about it being aliens,because the first time i seen it was on the eas! t side of our house,but it moved a couple years ago to the wes! t. NO it isnt there everynight. I is there for a bit and disappears. this is just the first time we have seen it in person like this.I would love for someone to investigate my videos to try to explain what this might have been!

Orange light that set down in woods, got brighter, then left

I was at my car in my driveway (which is on a hill that lets you see a good long way over tons of tree tops) and I saw what at first I thought were airplanes. They were two orange lights and the one that was higher up was brighter. The dim one went out of view and again, I thought it was just an airplane, until the brighter orange ball seemed like it was getting closer. I then figured it was a helicopter (even though I have never seen a helicopter with that didnt have flashign lights and was a halogen orange), but I couldn’t hear it and it eventually landed on either a road or in woods, and then got brighter. I thought it might be a fire since it flickered, but then it got extremely bright (still orange) and came back up and then grew very dim. Then I realized it hadn’t gotten dimmer, it had just moved away from where I was very fast until it disappeared over the horizon.

There were also planes flying overhead

Location: Anderson, IN, USA

Shape: Cylinder


Red cylinder with distinct red light in center, adjacent to a very large bright white light.

I was viewing homes for sale in Anderson, Indiana, on a Realtor website. There was an option to view satellite images and street view images.

As I was viewing the area, I noticed a red cylinder that stretched straight up into the sky. There was a distinct red light in the middle of the cylinder. Adjacent to the red cylinder, was a very large, bright white cylinder of light that started as a burst of light and ended very near the red cylinder. The images were dated August 2009.






NUFORC Note:

Red object is lens flare, caused by pointing a camera at a bright light source, in this case, the Sun. PD

Unknown light hovering in sky toward Townville

In the early hours of January the 12th, a friend and myself walked to my car and started it in an effort to get some heat on a cold morning. As we sat and waited for my car to get warm, I noticed a peculiarly bright light in the Western sky. The light caught my attention initially because it was the brightest light in the sky, much brighter than any of the stars. But then as I sat and watched it, I noticed it was traveling incredibly akward to be a plane. First off, it was traveling left to right, then remaining stationary (hovering like a helicopter), then continuing to take off again, sort of zig-zagging. As it proceeded this routine, I ran back inside and grabbed my digital camera and batteries (nothing substantial seemed to come out, but they're open for review). I did notice, however, as i tried to focus on the object with the camera, i could clearly see a purple, cyan, blue alternating color pattern (this could just be coincidental, but even with the naked eye an alternating strobe could be seen).

All in all, I'm not saying it was ever close enough for me to say it was an alien craft or UFO. I am, however, asking for an explination for the object I most certainly witnessed in the sky. Take into concideration that my father has worked with airplanes his entire life and being that we live less than a mile from the city airport (that has no military connection), I'm familiar with the common planes.

Thank you for your time

Nine glowing objects seen over my house in Anderson Indiana

On Friday, October 31, 2008 late evening I was walking a friend to her car parked in my drive. We talked for about fifteen minutes then she brought to my attention a glowing light up in the sky. Her first comment was, " it looks like a helicopter". I said no it is moving to fast. Then I noticed there was no noise and suggested it to be a falling star.

As it went over my house we both thought it very unusual.It came out of the sky from the southwest and was traveling to the northeast. We watched as it went out of sight. Then she through her hands up and pointed to another one. The first five came in a steady stream. All at the same; altittude, direction and speed. At this time I went into the house and got my room-mate whom has been flying since he was fifteen and was a commercial pilot for over fifteen years. Then another light appeared and soon after another. Then a moment later a third. The first two took a path a little off from the first five and the third cut to the north. My room-mate commented they were a diamond shape. Then with a pause the final glow went through on the same path as the first five.

Chevron shaped UFO seen over I-85 in Anderson, SC.

I was on my way back to my college dorm travelling south on I-85, and it was a little past twilight. The moon was full and extremely bright because there was no cloud cover. When I was approaching the Williamston exit I notice two lights in the sky. I assumed that they were just landing lights from a commercial airliner, but as time passed I realized that it wasn’t moving towards me, but hovering in one spot.

It’s hard to recall how high up it seemed to be, but it made me think of how a helicopter would hover when doing a traffic report. I rolled down my window to see if I could hear anything from it, but there was no sound that I could tell. If it had been an airplane or a helicopter at that altitude it would have definitely been heard. After I passed underneath it, I noticed that it had begun to move off fairly quickly in the opposite direction. It seemed to me that other people on the road had witnessed this as well because some drivers were slowing down, and some were even pulling off the road.

There were three extremely bright blue-white lights on the front tip and on the end of each "wing." There were also no hints of metal on the object. Since the moon was very bright I would assume that it would have reflected off the surface, but all I saw was a black mass. Its shape was a little hard to explain. It was almost like a stealth fighter shape, but the edges weren’t as sharp. It was a little smoother and more triangular.

I told my other sister to look up. for about 10 mins we seen the lights moving one behind the other when the frist light drop down and the other one did the same. It was still moving in a stright line but now it was moveing down. for about 3 min when watch it and just as fast as my sister seen it the light when out. To this day we still dont know what we seen that night. It couldnt of been any thing to do with clouds because it was a clear night not a cloud in the sky.

Dark, soundless object low in the sky over Anderson, SC; looked like huge black helium balloon?

My wife, daughter and myself were walking across a restaurant parking lot to our car when my daughter asked "what's that?"

What we saw was a black object in the distance with no lights. It was close to dusk, but the object stood out clearly because the sky behind it was still fairly light.

It appeared to be low flying (my first thought was an ultralight plane). There was no noise, and it was moving in our direction.

It looked as if it would fly over close to us. We watched it for at least a minute and decided we looked foolish out in the middle of the parking lot.

We turned toward our car and had to walk behind a small tree which blocked our view for a couple of seconds. When we were past the tree we all looked and the object had disappeared.

The shape was roughly triangular with the points rounded. My wife thought she saw a faint light at one point. It seemed like it wobbled and didn't hold a straight path.

Silver cigar shaped object with no wings that stopped and changed direction in mid-air

Heading North on I-85 in Anderson County (near the Channel 4 Doppler Radar tower) I noticed a silver cigar shaped object in the North-Eastern sky (which was to my right while driving). There were a few cirrus clouds and mostly sunny. The object appeared to be moving North and I was gaining on it slightly. Then it started to turn slowly towards the West then South West and crossed over the interstate in front of me. I looked closely for wings but never spotted any even while it was turning. The sun reflected off the object. It finally came to a complete stop to my left. I stopped my car and watched it for several minutes. Finally, it started moving again in a South-South Western direction as if it were headed towards the mountains of GA. It took the object only about 20 seconds to go from it's stopped position to a small dot in the sky. I can only speculate at the distance. From where I was standing/driving the object appeared to be the size of my pinky fingernail. It was long and slinder but slightly oval. Clearly not a plane (no wings), not a balloon (too slinder and metalic-like). It had almost a chrome finish. I heard no sounds. It didn't change color only reflected the sunlight. No flashing lights. It traveled away until it became almost to difficult to find in the sky. The object left no trail.

Strange bright lights in Northern California sky

Shortly before Christmas of 2003 we noticed a very bright light above the hills off our back deck. At first we thought it may be a star but have never seen it before. After observing the object for several hours it would suddenly disappear. This piqued our curiosity. We have seen it only on very clear nights...it begins to appear around 17:00 and disappears at varying times. We finally tried to view it through our binoculars and then the telescope...Our best picture, of the one closest to us, was captured on video tape about a week ago....Last night was the first clear night since the video was taken so we took a picture with my camera. We also saw it land on the hill directly behind the house but it is not close enough to check it out. We live in the country with a canyon behind our house. They appear to move and disappear and then reappear later.

The video tape show bright flashing lights of many colors and does appear to move just as we witnessed with our telescope. The camera showed something completely different. It showed two objects...one that looks like a giant spider but with only 4 legs and the bright light looks like it has a light field in front of it. Very strange objects...have no idea what it is....Has anyone else reported a sighting such as this?

We wonder whether the witness might have been observing a "twinkling" star, but that is only a guess. PD

Pinprick of blue-white light seen from the interstate that blurred in almost a digital fashion , seen early in the morning.

I recently moved to Taylors S.C. while in the middle of the spring semester at my school. Since the move, I've had to make a 45min drive down I85 to get to exit 19B in Anderson S.C. to get to Tri-County Technical College in Pendleton S.C. in the morning. While driving past exit 35 on 85 I noticed an extremely bright object over the tree line. It was like a pinprick of blueish white light. Just by the objects appearance I was able to decern it was not any type of conventional aircraft. If it was a passenger jet really far away, then its lights were way too bright, If it wasn't very far away then it had no discernable shape and it hovered motionless in the air. From what I saw I think it was pretty far away though. One noticable event that happened was that the light blurred for one moment then returned to its normal brightness. When I say blurred I don't mean it looked as if it was obscurred or anything like that. It sort of fizzled. The thought immeadiatly came to my mind that it seemed almost pixilated like a distortion on a crappy computer monitor. I was on the interstate so I quickly got to a point where my vision was obscurred by the trees and I lost it completely.

White large object without wings,above 30,000 feet moving very slowy toward the NNW

It was moving verey slowlyfrom about 110 degrees toward the NNW or about 340 degrees. The object was white,not a light,norsilver,nor reflecting sunlight.It stopped in it's slow movement for about ten seconds or more when it was about 10 degrees off my 12 O'clock position. The sky was clear with only some cirrus clouds in the West which were only visable from the horizon to about 10 degrees above the horizon. I watched the object then went for my wife to verify what I was seeing. She came out and watched it for a few minutes.I went back insidefor my binoculars but had misplaced them,this taking about 5 minutes. When I went back outside the object w2as still in view and moving verybslowly. Eventually it went behind the view to the cirrus clouds. As a pilot I am familiar with judging altitude etc.,and this was above 30,000 feet. As mentioned before,it was white in color.not reflecting the sun. The object was over an inch as measured with my hand in front of my eyes. This was very unusual to me as it was moving toward the jet stream for today. I did not say to my wife what I thought it was,nor color etc.,but I did ask her to explain what she saw. She said the same thing I was thinking,color,shape etc. The shape as we could make it out was long with no wings. It certainly was NOT a weather balloon. It was in our view at least 12 to twenty minutes from the 11 O'clock position that I first observed it until it was about 3 O'clock in the NW sky. My location is: Lat. 34 3((deleted)) N Long. 82 4((deleted))W

Redding/Anderson Fireworks July 3rd, 2000

We were watching fireworks in Anderson, Ca on July 3rd, 2000 from Millville Plains . A flat plains area 10 miles east of Redding at the start of the foothills towards Mt. Lassen. Are view was slightly south of west from that vantage point. Fire works were @ fair grounds in Anderson . Anyway , aprox 9:45 while fireworks were going my girlfriend and I saw what seemed to be a shooting star going east to west . It burnt out , from our vantage point, right above the fireworks, but up in the sky a bit.(an open hands width @ arms length). Then right at the spot it burnt out this light started blinking . (The light was quite a bit brighter than any of the stars and didnt have a steady blink like a aircraft.) Then the akwardly blinking light moved horizontally tward the north we'd say half the distance between anderson and redding in a couple of seconds.(5 miles distance i think)Then it went south back over the fireworks, stopped, blinked a few times then the blinking stopped and that was it. It def. was not any aircraft i have ever seen, my pops a pilot and i have grown up around avation, and that was no plane ! We could see the commuter flights going out of redding heading south and they were way slower and lower on the horizon than the blinking light. Nither of us has seen anything like this and it was exciting when we saw it. We listen to Art bell and just thought we would give you are info of what we saw for the books. Thanks

Driving hone from school, I encountered three massive UFO'S. I was driving home from the nursing ( R.N) program at our local college,where I was enrolled in my second year of the two year program. I live in a pretty rural area. I was driving home after class had ended for the day right at about 3:30 in the afternoon (alone in my car) with moderate traffic on the freeway. I was south bound on Interstate 5. As you head south you can see for miles ahead,( probably 20) miles or so. We live in a valley, where three sides of us, north, east and west have mountains, Mt Shasta (north) Mt Lassen ( east) and the trinity mts to the west. to the south is rolling foot hills,not mountains, and you can see foothills approximately 15 miles to the south of us where a town called Red Bluff is located. It was a warm, very clear day with the only clouds, way high in the sky. As I drove south out of the corner of my eyes just slightly to my right (west) and out in front of me (south), probably about a 1000 ft off the ground and maybe 8 to 10 miles out ahead of me, were 3 absolutely huge UFO's, huge !!! They were a dull silver, kind of grey,silver but not shiny at all.they were stacked like a pyramid shape,one up top and the other 2 below it,evenly spaced,pretty much a perfect pyramid.it wasn't one ufo though,it was three separate ones.they were cigar shaped,but the ends were blunt,they didn't taper to points.they were all sitting perfectly still,they weren't spinning,there were no lights,no windows,they were just sitting perfectly still.Im amazed I didn't drive off the freeway and wreck,I had to tilt my head up slightly and put my face kind of close to my winsheild,so I could get a good view of all 3 at once,and I was just staring up,I don't remember really looking at the road.I thought to my self'oh my God,is anyone else seeing these??'. There was no sound,I had my windows down due to the warm weather and I was driving a car with no air conditioner,no sound ! at all,no movement at all, there were no heat trails,that I co! uld see anyway,no air disturbance at all,they weren't bobbing around d at all..they were just sitting there,I thought at the time they were probably Around 2000 feet long each, they were all 3 exactly the same looking.after staring up for probably 10 to 15 seconds, it seemed longer,it was almost like everything was in slow motion. out of my left peripheral vision I could see something coming up from behind me, fast,I didn't realize for a second that it was lights coming up behind me, I glanced over to my left and saw a highway patrol car,a forestry Jeep,and a Sheriffs car all with their lights on,but no sirens going, they were flying past all day he traffic,heading south,probably around 90 mph, at least,they were driving in the dirt that divides the freeway lanes.the freeway( I 5)runs north to south,two lanes each direction,with a dirt center dividing the lanes its about 35foot wide or so,they were all three lined up,lights flashing, south in the dirt. I only glanced away for a ! split second,and I thought to myself, " wow!! Someone else does see them,I'm not crazy "!!. When I looked back over at the ufos,they were exactly the same,nothing had changed, for about 3 to 5 seconds anyway, because then all at once,all three at the same time.its hard to explain.It was like they jerked just a tiny bit all at once toward the ground,not much,maybe 50 feet,I don't know, then bam they were all gone,you didn't see them take off or leave, they just disappeared,I don't know if they cloaked themselves or actually left right then,but they were gone.no nothing. I called the police and the airport in my town and in the little town south of us( Red Bluff) and asked if anyone reported seeing anything,they all said no.Ive always believed in UFOs,but I had never seen one,let alone three,broad day light,clear skies.man,It felt almost dreamlike afterwards,like I was in a daze for a couple of days after.I don't care what anyone says,I know what I saw,they were re! al, they weren't man made,we have nothing that huge,that can s! it perfe ctly still for that long, no noise at all,no heat trails,they weren't clouds,they were solid objects.I stare at the sky constantly hoping to see them again.I wish I had a cell phone back then,man I'd do anything to go back and have a cell or a camera to take a picture,I can still see them in my head.Ive asked many,many people when they're with me in the car in that same spot driving the same path again,I'll point out how high up they were and about how far away they were and I'll point out a cloud in that same area (as close to the size of the ufos)that I can find, and I ask them, " how long to you think that is???" Most just say I'm not sure,but huge,but when I asked my boyfriend and my aunt who are both retired from the Navy,one being a pilot and both serving on aircraft carriers, we were in the car( me with them at separate times) and I asked them for their best guesstament, on the size?? my boyfriend said his best guess was at least a mile wide, but less th! an 2 miles. my aunt who was Navy for 25 years,worked in the Pentagon and was a highly decorated officer and pilot, she said her best guess was a mile to 7000 foot long.I know that seems crazy, but I swear they were that huge. I live on 44 acres now we're I have a perfect view of were they were in the sky that day,when I'm out with our horses or cows or just working the ranch,my eyes are always searching the sky for them.now I have a cell phone and a back up camera with me in my purse and in my glovebox at all times.if I'm ever lucky enough to see them again I will have a picture,well I hope I would,honestly I'm not sure if I would have taken one,I almost felt like I couldn't look away from them or like if I did they'd be gone and I wouldn't know if they were real or not.lol. But I don't care what anyone says,I know what I saw,they were real,they weren't reflections,they weren't clouds,and they were massive,we have nothing close to what I saw,not on this planet,not yet.Ive t! old anyone and everyone I know about what I saw, I guess they ! believe me, they say they do, but they also kind of look at me like, uh hu ??!! I understand though, even though I've always believed in UFOs,once you see them yourself,it's just totally different,because you know without a doubt,they are real. I wish people could see what's in my minds eye, because even though it was 17 years ago,I can see it in my head like it was yesterday. Anyway,thank you for letting me tell you my story.you don't have to contact me,but if you have any questions at all or can help me find any evidence of that day,please feel more than free to call ,m sage, or write me any time.

I saw what appeared to be a white shooting star (no tail), 4x larger than the brightest star in the sky, moving very fast. It suddenly stopped and trippled in size and changed colors from white to blue. Then it changed back to it's original size and took off just as fast as it showed up.

First, I live in Redding, California, (northern). At around 12:00am I was standing in my friend's room and smoking a cigarette. I was hanging out the window so the smoke wouldn't fill the room. I looked in the sky (north west) and saw what appeared to be a white colored falling star about 3 times larger than the brightest star but it had no tail. It was moving very, vary, fast north to south (faster than any man made object i've ever seen)and all of a sudden it appeared to stop. It changed colors from white to blue and at the same time appeared to tripple in size. At it's largest size it was aproximatly 1/5 the size of a full moon. It stayed this size and color for around 2-3 seconds and changed back to it's origenal size and color and continued south, taking no time to accellerate and leave just as fast as it showed up.

Three grayish-brown cylinder shaped objects with no sound or lights.

We had just gotten out of my van, when my 5yr.old son pointed up to the sky and said "LOOK AT THE AIRPLANE". There in the northen sky were three grayish brown cylinder shaped objects moving toward the south. Each one was about the size of a grayhound bus. They were silent, no lights, and they appeared to be spinning clockwise while staying in a perfect "V" formation. I estimate they were only about 1000 feet up. When we came into the house, I had him draw what he had seen and I did the same. The drawlings were the same.

All I saw was a blue-green light flash from one part of the sky to the other in a north/south direction. this flash started in the atmosphere and ended in the atmosphere leaving a trail of light that slowly faded over the period of a few seconds. This did light up the sky too, there seemed to be a trail of exaust like sparks emitted from this "thing"

Occurred: 1975-11-15 21:00 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2003-02-12 08:56 Pacific
Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Anderson, IN, USA

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Lights on object

Large craft with lights and whirring sound. Object stopped mid air. Lights sequenced. Object darted and stopped twice.

In the fall of 1975, I was newly married and enrolled in graduate school at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. My husband had been a US Air Force pilot of T-38s and other aircraft. He had been trained to recognize the configuration of aircraft. We had visited my parents at the farm in Morgan County, Indiana. We were driving back to college on a dark Sunday evening in the fall of 1975. There had been a heavy snowfall, but the weather had cleared. There was a bright moon and puffy clouds in the sky.

We were driving on I-69 between Indianapolis and Anderson, Indiana. I saw lights in the sky, and at first I thought the lights were coming from a large aircraft that was in a steep bank (turning). Then the lighted object seemed to bank the other direction. I watched the lights for a couple of minutes. I had never told my husband about seeing a UFO in 1965. I said, "Is that an airplane?" He said, "No." We watched the lights getting closer. We were traveling northeast and getting closer. The lights were so close to us, that I said, "Pull over." A couple of other cars pulled off to the edge of the interstate. We were parked on the east side of the interstate, and the object stopped in the air over a large lighted parking lot of a factory or shopping area on the west side of I-69, near Anderson, Indiana. My husband rolled down his window to get a clear view without reflection. The lights on the craft were in a horizontal row, similar to lights coming from inside a lighted passenger compartment of a jet. There were also red and green lights on the object. We could hear a whirring sound, but not a roaring sound. Then ... the lights appeared to start moving in sequence ...left to right. I wonder now if the object was rotating on a horizontal plane and if the object was turning rather than lights coming off and on. The object darted to the east and in about one second appeared to be stopped again to the east of I-69, maybe about two miles away from us. "Follow it." ... I said. My husband exited the interstate and headed toward the object. The object then darted in the air to the west side of I-69 and stopped again. Then it went behind thick clouds, and we couldn't see it at all.

We continued our drive to our apartment on the Ball State campus in Muncie. We stopped and ordered a pizza. It was very late at night - maybe after 10pm. We told the pizza guy about the UFO, but we didn't attempt to report the incident to the FAA or even to the Muncie airport. We had college on our minds, and the next day was just another day. I felt so blessed that my husband, a pilot, actually saw the object, heard the whirring, and saw how quickly the object could move. I also felt fortunate that I could have seen two UFOs and that I wasn't just seeing things back in 1965.

I wonder if there is a kind of convergence of solar systems that makes space travel easier about every ten years. I live near the Wright Patterson Air Force Base, where supposedly the wreckage and the alien victims of the Roswell, New Mexico crash are kept in a secret area. Most of the people who know about it are probably in their seventies or eighties. I wonder if any of them will ever talk.



NUFORC Note:

We are grateful for the report. We doubt that the Sun, or its planets, come anywhere close to any other star system. If such occurred, we would see two stars in the daytime sky, not one. Date in November 1975 is approximate. PD

no noise, with no light, but with white glow, no markings, very close to ground and moving slow 1974-75

33 years later, I am starting to tell people what I saw as a young man. I lived in small subdivision that was surrounded by farms, I was walking home trying to get home before dark from friends house. It was a very clear summer night. As I got to my driveway, all of a sudden I seen this object just about 40-50 feet in the air above me. At first I was amazed, I thought helicopter, then immediately realized that there was no noise. The object had a glow to it, but there was no source of light. It appear to be just floating, moving very slow. For some strange reason, I was not scared. It moved across the street in a northerly direction over the neighbors house. I ran across the street, then through the woods behind the neighbors house that backed up to the pasture. Normally, I would have never ran into the woods at night. I watched this object slowly follow the couture of the land, and just disappear over the trees at the other end of the pasture. I am very clear on what I saw. I did not tell anyone, including my parents. I am now 46 years old, intelligent, and not crazy. I was watching a segment on TV about some air force personnel somewhere, I could not even watch the show, when they started to describe the object. It was "identical" to what I had seen.

Two round reddish orange metallic disks few overhead and were seen for about seven seconds.

1972 Northern California USA.

I was in the 7th grade at the time. I was out in a large open playing field at my school during lunch time. It was a clear sunny day. The bell had just rung (ending lunch break) and I noticed that I was the last person out on the playing field, so I started walking back to class. For some reason I then looked up into the air and saw two round reddish orange metallic disks flying overhead. At first I thought they were balloons, but I quickly dismissed that idea as balloons do not fly in formation (side by side) and they do not fly into the slight wind that was blowing. I then thought they were two fighter aircraft, because of the small size, but the objects were round, with no wings, no tails, no projections of any kind and they were completely silent. I stopped walking and started tracking them with my eyes and turning my head to keep them in view. They were moving from my left to my right almost directly overhead, ~ 850. After watching them for about seven seconds or so, t! he disks started to approach the area of the sun in the sky. I turned away when the glare became too great. I waited for about three seconds, thinking that I could see the disks again as they came out on the other side of the sun, but I could not find them. I looked all over the sky for several minutes but they were gone. I went back to class (no one missed me) and told my teacher I had just seen two UFOs (no reaction). Back at my desk I wrote out a short description of my experience.
