They would move and rotate thier axis with triangles facing each object then away from each other. They would seperate at times but would primarily be parrellel with my line of sight. They witnessed prior to dusk. when the stars began coming out, these objects appeared much larger and much, much brighter.

Pulsating blue softball size lights in yard.

It was around late summer or early fall, sometime in the early evening. It had previously been raining. The street lights from the end of our block toward the town were all working, but our block leading up towards the weather center were all out. Our lights in the house had also gone out, first time since we moved there. I looked out our bedroom window and saw at least a dozen lights moving around in a neighbors yard. I thought it was probably little children running around playing with flashlights, but I didn´t see any children.

I watched two or three minutes and then the lights all darted upward at the same time, way over the top of their house, probably a dozen or more lights, and all took the shape of a circle of lights going round. I called my husband and he came and watched the circle of lights with me for several more minutes. Then they started separating and going off in different directions. One ball of light came over the top of our tree line and ! went back and forth several times along the tops. It looked like a small sphere, maybe the size of a softball, and it was the color of a really soft but vibrant and pulsating blue. After a few minutes it came down the side of our trees on the treeline, and then traveled in a very fast motion across the flower garden just under the trees, back and forth, just as it had done across the tops of the treeline.

It did that for another couple minutes and then came directly across the yard in a very straight and direct line, toward the window where we were standing. Half way between the treeline and our window it stopped abruptly. It just stayed in place about a foot and a half above the grass, kind of pulsating and spinning at the same time. We watched for another couple minutes and for some reason I got a really bad feeling. The window we were standing in was one of those that went nearly ceiling to floor. My husband stayed watching it there. I went to the laundry room where ther! e was a smaller window higher up, where I could kind of just p! eek out.

Then, it started moving quickly again, back to the flower garden, back and forth a few times, back up the treeline and back and forth over the tops of the trees, for several more minutes. Then all of a sudden it just took off in my direction again and sailed right underneath the window I´d been watching from, out the other side of the house, down the driveway, and just disappeared. We knew by the way that thing acted, it was not any kind of swampgas. It appeared to move with precision and deliberation. Within less than a minute, all the street lights on our block and in the house came back on. We thought about calling the PD, or weather station to ask what it might be, or if anyone else saw or reported anything, but thought they would think we were a nuts or making it up. We really weren´t into much knowledge of UFO things and didn´t really know what to think. We don´t drink, we don´t smoke, we don´t do drugs, and it wasn´t in the middle of the night where we had just woken! up or anything like that, so we know what we saw was real. We just don´t know what it was. We were always the type that believes there is a logical explanation for everything. A couple days later we were talking about what it might have been, and our teen aged son overheard us. He began telling us that at the same time, while the lights had been out the day that same day we saw the lights, he had been up in his bedroom and saw a bunch of little round light, floating around just below the ceiling in his bedroom. He said he thought they were different colors, but since he is color blind he wasn´t sure what colors they werem some were just darker than others. He said he looked out his upstairs bedroom window (his room was on the opposite side of the house) because he thought maybe it was flashes from an emergency vehicle, but that when he looked out, nothing was there, and when he closed the window they were gone, so he had just ignored it all, and hadn´t thought anymore abou! t it. It has been a few years since that early evening,and we ! moved ov erseas, but we have not been able to forget about that experience. If anyone else has seen those kinds of things, we sure wish we knew what it could have been.

Occurred: 2002-11-05 04:00 Local
Reported: 2006-01-30 16:49 Pacific
Duration: 2 Minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Caribou, ME, USA

Shape: Light


I went out into the backyard of my property with my dog at 04:00 hours. It was a clear night, without moonlight, to illuminate the night sky. I love to watch the night sky and all the constellations as they shine brightly in northern Maine on a dark night.

There was no noise (aircraft or vehicle) breaking the silence. I was under a tall lodge pole pine tree waiting for my dog to come back.

I walked out from under the tree and looked up into the northeast sky at about 01:00 when I saw a large white light about the size of a full moon. It was at an altitude of several thouand feet. I stood there in amazement at the brightness of the light. I just stood there, watching, wondering, where it came from and where it would move too.

After about 2 minutes the light moved upward at a high rate of speed, disappearing within 2 to 3 seconds. The light has never reappeared since this crisp morning in November 2002.

Every time I look up in the sky, I wonder, when the next contact will come.

The now closed Loring AFB is about six miles from my home. The object (light) appeared to be hovering over the old base. Even though the base is officially closed, the military still has a presence on the base.

Shape: Egg
Characteristics: Lights on object

Three of us saw a large object with a searchlight darting and traveling over fields in northern Maine.

Early August, 1984 My daughter and her classmate and I were headed home by car, southwest out of Caribou, Maine (Aroostook County), at about 9 p.m. The early evening summer sky was already quite dark, and I observed to my right a large, bright object in the sky very close to the horizon and moving slowly east. I kept a keen eye on the light, and at one point it stopped, and then it moved very quickly east at a more rapid speed than it had been traveling, almost like it had been shot out of a cannon. Then it reversed direction and traveled back to where it had been before. This erratic movement made me curious as to what I was watching.

As I moved along the road through woods and farmland, up and down and around curves, I tried to keep up with the object, and as I rounded a turn and made for the straightaway ahead, the object approached us on the right in a slow and deliberate manner. I crossed through an intersection and came to a complete stop to watch the object in the sky cross over us from right to left about thirty to fifty feet above my car. Our car windows were rolled down, and there was no sound at all.

The aircraft appeared to be egg-shaped or round with an unorganized array of lights, mostly amber-orange, red, and white covering the outside. It appeared to be from fifty to 100 feet high. A large beam of light was directed down from the bottom of the craft like a search light, and it was whipping back and forth as if it was searching the stand of trees as it flew over.

The craft disappeared into the woods east of us, and we did not see it again. Needless to say, we were all VERY shook up and were not really sure what we had actually seen. I did not report this sighting to anyone, but I have witnesses in my daughter and her classmate to corroborate this amazing event.

Three sightings: disc, zig-zagging star, bar of light

I was a freshman in high school in 1967. School went into recess for a month to allow students to participate in the potato harvest (in the northeastern tip of Maine). My best friend and I were "picking potatoes" one afternoon and as I was taking a breather I noticed a silver disk slowly skimming across the top of a narrow strip of trees about one-eighth of a mile away. I didn't hear any noise at all and did not observe any lights. It was not rotating. I said to my friend, "Look at that!" It continued on its path just above the swath of trees until we could no longer see it. I observed this object for about 10 seconds. My friend and I both decided to do an oral English report on our sighting, but he backed out and I ended up doing it alone. I got the whole spectrum of reactions. Loring Air Force Base was in the immediate vicinity, about 5 miles away. I grew up watching all kinds of planes fly through our rural skies (including B-52s). This thing was nothing like what we were used to seeing flying out of Loring. I've always felt that it was extraterrestrial. That was the strong impression I had at the time. I have come to believe that this craft was scoping out Loring A.F.B. There was an incident, called "The Loring Incident" which occurred in 1975 wherein discs of unknown origin hovered over Loring's nuclear weapons depot unchallenged, 5 feet off the ground; it resulted in about a dozen more Air Force Bases nationwide being put on a heightened state of alert. I had another sighting in July 1972 in the same general area. I was laying on my back on the high-dive of a camp pool on a cloudless Maine night. The stars are so clear and thick on these Maine nights that you feel you can reach out your hand and scoop out a bunch of them with your hand. Zero urban light interference. What I saw was a medium-bright "star" in the night sky that zig-zagged down the horizon, paused, and then retraced its path to where I had first seen it move. Then it faded to black and that was the end of it. This lasted about 15 minutes. Again, this UFO was, in effect, if not in actuality, directly over Loring A.F.B. Loring A.F.B. was the SECOND air force base to store atomic warheads. (The first was in New Mexico where the bomb was developed.) I had a third sighting in West New York, New Jersey, in March, 1997 (across the Hudson River from New York City). At sunset I looked out a window facing south and saw a bar of bright light suspended in the sky; it did not move. I looked at it through my 10-power binoculars. It looked like pure energy. No surface or texture of any kind was visible, just this blazing cylinder of golden-white light. It was beautiful. It was three times as long as it was wide. It was hanging in the sky at an angle, not straight up and down. I watched it for about 30 minutes and then had to get some sleep before going to work that night. When I woke up later it had gone.
