Then there were searchlights looking from the ground up in the sky, like they were looking for something in the sky.

When I said, "Hello," the craft stopped and lit up.

Sunday, November 11th at 6pm, I witnessed an aircraft outside my window. It started from the south, then headed East. It was bright white, and was moving in a way that was completely unlike a plane or a satellite. I naturally took out my phone and began recording. A few moments after I did this, the craft turned red.

I shouted "HELLO" out my window, as I did so, the craft stopped moving completely shined bright white, then it startes towards me, then back on the path it was taking originally. I was able to capture this moment on camera, my video is posted on YouTube for the world to see.

On a side note, when it started towards me, I was able to see underneath it. The craft looked circular.

I grabbed phone to record and it was gone. 5 minutes later it appeared as if it was never gone.. I got creeper out and did not go for the phone again.

Location: Evanston, WY, USA

Shape: Orb


2 Orange-White ORBS flying southwest WYOMING into UTAH.

At 7:20pm MST, I looked outside towards the west of town, and saw a white orb. The light was over the rooftops of the houses nearby but was probably about 5-10 miles away.

I jumped in the car and left Evanston heading southwest when I realized there were two orbs...the original one higher in the sky, and a lower one.

Both orbs were moving southwest and a slow speed at first, then faster.

I gave chase in my car, and stopped at a lookout ridge about 8mi southwest of town. The lower orb was gone behind the distant mountains at this point, and the higher orb stayed in the lower sky for 15 minutes. It was orangish in color and brilliant. The higher orb eventually went below the distant mountain range. They were heading in the direction of Ogden, UT.

I tried to take pics with a digital camera, but due to the dark sky, it picked up the ORB out of focus.

Ice cream cone shaped object in the sky.

My son and husband were outside talking to our neighbor when my son tried to get my husband’s attention and look at something. It didn’t sound too urgent, so he did not look.

After a few minutes, my son said he saw a UFO. He came inside and drew a picture of it. He described it as looking like an ice cream cone with lights around the top of it. When asked the color of it he said it was metal colored. It made no sound.

Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Lights on object

8 ORANGE orbs seen flying in single file formation about 750ft up.

One ORANGE orb caught my eye, out my living room window, where I sit with the coach under the window. Looking S/E about 1mi away from me, a bright orange orb was coming towards me in a right to left direction. Then I saw another orange orb, approx 1/4mi behind the first one. Then another appeared. Then another. Looking back at Orb#1, it was now closer...maybe .5mi away. These orange orbs were solid in nature, no blinking, flashing, or dimming. At any one time...my son and I saw 4 lights all in a row...stringing from left to right...with the left light being the closest and the far right being the farthest away. It was already sundown, as this occurred just after dusk.

Now the wierd part. All 4 of these orbs were moving slowly and smoothly, then the first orb light faded out...then orb #5 appeared. Then orb #2 faded out and #6 orb appeared, and so on. Until all 8 orbs eventually appeared and faded just before hitting the town limits. These orbs did NOT change direction ever, so it's not like the 1st orb turned, and that's why I couldn't see the light. Again, at any one time, we saw 4 or 5 of the orbs...all bright orange. We walked out front and watched....it was dead silent....no sound at all. We should have heard sound from that distance. All orbs flew at the same altitude....I would say at about 750ft up. No trail, smoke, or fire around the orbs. Just pure orange light. Missed out on getting a camera. We have one now, and will look for more events, in case of repeat visit.

Orange light, non-blinking, appearing to follow passenger jet

An orange light appeared to be following an airplane at a considerable distance and at a similar altitude. Both were traveling towards the south-west. The light appeared to be traveling at a slower pace than the airplane. After watching the orange light for a couple minutes, it began to turn at a gradual pace towards the south-east. There was no sound coming from the light and its luminescence remained constant. The craft had completely disappeared from sight after the viewer turned their attention away for a second.

My husband was driving highway 80 from SLC to Rocky ((sic. Rock)) Springs. As he came into Wyoming he drove for a bit then snapped a picture of the landscape to show me.

As he was taking a pic out the window, he noticed a light. He looked outside but there wasn't anything there anymore. He looked at his phone and saw the light in the picture. It was def a light from outside.

He was driving along the freeway with no people or building around. He was pretty spooked, because he can't explain what it was.

At approximately 15:30 on a day in late October of 2006 a medium-sized cigar-shaped craft emerged under a thick layer of clouds in Evanston, Il, USA. Despite the fact that there were no lights there were many evenly spaced oval port-holes across the UFO. Within 30 seconds the ship disappeared in the clouds and had only been seen by one witness.

Red laser light beam in Evanston, Illinois

Single red laser light beam came through slats of shuttered window on our second floor; window faces south. The light was coming from a higher point, seemed like 45 degrees or more from horizontal. Based on the angle, it didn't seem like it could possibly be coming from a neighbor's house. Too freaked out to look outside afterwards. There was no sound.

Location: over Lake Michigan, seen from South Blvd. Beach in Evanston, IL. 200-300 yards from shore @ about 10:00PM. A hovering object was seen by me and my friend. It was flashing and had some sort of odd (greenish) colored spotlight shining down on the water.

My friend and I stood and watched it hover for about 5 minutes until the spotlight changed colors and then turned off. We thought it was a helicopter at first but it made no sound (which was weird) and took off to full speed faster than any helicopter or jet or anything could. When it took off, it just went straight up really fast and then changed directions to go speeding off southwest over Chicago and slightly up. NOTHING that we are supposed to know about travels like that.

We didn't really tell anybody about it but after the incident at O'Hare just recently I'm starting to believe that SOMETHING is going on.

Bright circular object spotted hovering over a baseball field on a clear night for several minutes.

One object floated for approx. 5 mins before I told someone else to pay attention. We looked across the entire sky to make sure it wasn't any type of reflection from somewhere else. The circular object continued to float for approx. 10 more mins before it started to drift away. It did not move side to side or round and round. It moved straight back with no other motion, as if it were traveling in a line. The white lights were very bright and did not flash or blink and was much larger than an aircraft. There seemed to be no sound coming from the object, but distance could have played a large part in that. The object was watched over a schools baseball field so there were no interruptions or anything to block the view. It was a clear night and besides this floating object only airplanes and stars and the moon were in the sky.

For many months myself and others have seen silver lighted spheres moving intelligently over city.

I and others have seen these crafts for months here in Wyoming. Some of them move just a little, others move across the city, but all look the same. They are silverish spheres with light emanating from different areas of surface. They sometimes have round indentions, black holes or spots, or raised areas. They often change shape and appear cut off at top or bottom, and sometimes even look egg shaped. Looking through a 700mm telescope, they almost fill the lens and often change appearance while looking at them. Some pulse and flash almost continuously, others emulate private planes, others simply twinkle with different colors.

Myself, friends and family have been watching these "ships" since approx. July of last year. At first just one, a red one. Now there are many here in sky at night. They start to appear at sunset, and then move lower in sky later in evening. This has continued for months and these object don't appear to really be hiding. I have flashed them often with mag light and they always flash me back. Sometimes they even move closer after they are signaled.

I have filed numerous reports with MUFON, but never received one reply. I cannot help but wonder why. Has anyone else out these seen these crafts/ships?

I looked up and saw a streak of light and then it slowed down. I couldn't tell exactly how far away it was...but it didn't seem too far. It was traveling very slow like it was looking for something. I noticed that there were lights all around the side of the ship. It was kind of like a triangle with a broad side in the front going to a point in the back. The two front tips seemed to have two brighter lights then the rest. It moved real slow for about 15-20 seconds, and then streaked off to the North. It was so vivid in my memory that there is no way I just imagined it.

An large orange disk hovered quietly over a park a few blocks away to the northwest.

I was about 12 yrs. old. My friends and I were playing on Ashland Ave. in Evanston, when we all noticed an orange disk hovering to the northwest. At arms length it would have been about the size of a football, and it seemed to be only a few blocks away, perhaps over a large park from the look of it. It simply hovered there for a long time. Eventually, all of the children became afraid and everyone ran to there homes. I'm fuzzy on dates, but I remember it was late afternoon/early evening.

90 ft saucer, grey with white spinning lights underneath

In August of 1972 at 11:00 pm, I was at Northwestern Univ. parked 60 ft from the observatory with my boyfriend sitting in a car talking. Suddenly we saw a tiny bright light which I thought was a low star. It was very far away. Within 5 seconds it was upon us. It was a classic "flying saucer' looking object. approx 90 ft long. It was a grey silver color. It had a bottom stand that was circular and had holes all around the base. It looked as if there was a white ball of energy swirling around it very fast. There were no doors or windows on the side that we could see. It hovered over the observatory and then made a dead stop in mid-air about 12 ft above the observatory building. I wanted to get out and get a closer look as we were approx 60 ft away but my boyfriend was terrified and refused to allow me to get out of the car. It remained there for about 6-7 minutes. Then suddenly it lifted up about ten ft, moved slightly to the right where there was a clearing, a road, and then took off at meteoric speed. It was as if it went from zero to 10,000 mph in a nanosecond It was completely out of sight in less than 2 seconds. It seemed to go as fast as a bullet. I know that doesn't seem possible but it's true. I thought it was strange that it was going so fast and yet there was no sonic boom sound. It made no sounds at all.

Characteristics: Lights on object

We watched the saucer with lights for five minutes as it remained stationary above us at about a 45 degree angle.

The saucer was observed in a stationary position high in the sky. It appeared to be approximately one inch in diameter at arms length. A very clear night at dusk with the sun down in the west and night approaching in the east. The craft had lights circling the perimeter with no apparent consistency. One followed by three followed by two followed by one and so on.

The craft stayed in one place for maybe three minutes and then began moving at a constant speed. It traveled at a speed that allowed it to remain just as clear as it appeared when not moving. It traveled some distance but I can not make a sound judgement as to that amount.

It returned to the near vicinity of the first sighting and then turned ninety degrees and went over the houses and out of sight. Entire viewing was somewhere around five minutes.

Distant craft in the same part of the sky for 3 nights, seen by a group

This event occurred over several nights. I was a university student, living in a dormitory.

On the first night, I saw a distant craft. The reason I knew it was a craft and not a star was that it did not move at all - and then at a certain point - it took off and disappeared quickly.

The same thing occurred on the second night. This time I had one or two friends with me.

On the third night, I gathered a group of the other members in my dorm (perhaps 8-15 others), and we all watched it do the same exact thing.

On the fourth night, I called the observatory on campus - and the craft did not appear. I felt that the beings in the craft knew I had called the observatory, and that's why it didn't appear.

All along, as I (and then we) looked at the craft, I felt the craft members knew we were watching them, and were in fact looking back at us.
