Crescent like object that looks like a moon glowing was moving through the sky in a south to north direction.

My son first spotted it and said I needed to come look at the moon. It was 7:37 ish and I knew that sometimes early in the morning you can see the moon before it goes down. I stepped out of my house and looked up and saw a glowing crescent shape that looked just like a moon. What was weird was that it seemed to me moving and so I kept looking at it. I then noticed it was moving and I was trying to determine if it was moving or clouds were moving across it. After a couple of minutes I could see it was moving and it wasn’t moving down like a moon setting in the early morning. Instead it was moving like a plane or a jet. There was no smoke trail or exhaust coming off of it like there would be with a jet or plane. It also did not make any noise like a plane or a jet would have. It kept moving and was moving towards me so that it was moving over me. If I was to hold a dime up it would have covered it. It also seemed to kind of glow like a moon would. It clearly w! as not a moon because it moved south to north. It was a clear day with only a few clouds and temperature was in the 40s. I watched it for a bit and took several photos and videos. In one video on my phone camera it went blurry but I didn’t change the focus and when I looked at it in the sky I could still see crescent shape but on my phone it became kind of a glowing blob. I do not like near an airforce base or military base. There is a very small airport near and it made no sound like a plane. It also moved too fast to be a hot air balloon and it glowed kind of. I went in just for a second and looked back out and it was gone.

02/11/20 19:30 Janesville, Wisconsin 5 orange spheres maneuvering in the night sky then disappeared.

I was driving south on Harmony Town Hall road between Rotamer and Wilcox roads approximately 3 miles northeast of Janesville, Wisconsin. The sky was dark and clear, visibility was unlimited and the stars were shining brightly. My wife and I both noticed two groups of bright lights in the sky which appeared to be similar to aircraft flying in formation. The unusual thing was the color, all 5 objects were round and solid orange in color. I am a pilot and very familiar with aircraft lighting, there were no visible navigation lights (red or green) nor any white strobe lights. I pulled over to the side and stopped near the Wilcox road intersection.

Despite the temperature being around 20 degrees (F) we opened the front seat windows and moon roof window to reduce internal light reflection in order to see clearly. One group of 3 lights was at our 2 o’clock position moving to the left (eastbound). The other group of 2 lights were at our 1 o’clock position moving in the same direction. At arm’s length I probably would relate all of the lights size to that of a BB that was bright orange. The two orange lights at our 1 o’clock position maneuvered unlike any flight formation would. The trailing light, which was to the right following the lead light, sped up and appeared to either pass through or around the other and it became the lead light still heading east. As they continued eastbound, the lights dimmed until they disappeared. The following group of three, continued moving east and two of the three lights dimmed in intensity and disappeared, leaving one light visible which by now was just about over the top of our ! van. With the moon roof open, we could not hear any sound from the light. As it passed over, it accelerated to an incredible speed and disappeared towards the east horizon in a matter of two or three seconds.

I could not guess what the exact altitude might have been of any of the objects, but my guess would be based on the angle in relation to the horizon when we first noticed them, I would say maybe around 3,000 feet. The distance that last one covered would probably have taken a commercial airliner at altitude probably 5 minutes or more to cover.

I am a licensed private pilot and worked for 4 years as an air traffic control specialist (tower) at one time. I since have retired from many years in manufacturing management. I am very familiar with the different types of aircraft but have never seen anything like what I saw tonight. The other witness, my wife is a registered nurse.

When I first spotted the lights it looked like two bright fireballs in the sky. I thought I was seeing a crash in the sky. Then I got a better view and there were actually four red orange lights making a equal square shape. Then the bottom right started moving very quickly and very close to the bottom left light. They stayed like that flying close for a few mins. Once I got outside they were in a straight line with a fifth one coming up faster from the distance as the others were one by one dissapearing into the clouds I guess. The fourth light seemed to almost slow down to wait for the fifth light.

Bright light seen for over an hour then moving and dimming intermittently.

The object was first witnessed by a family member at around 5 pm on their way home from work. At 5:15 pm we all went outside and witnessed a bright light southwest of Janesville. It looked like a very bright star but wasn't that high in the sky. We observed the bright light through binoculars and it looked like 3 separate lights. It was the same brightness from first noticing it at 5 pm until about 5:30 pm and stayed in the same spot. Then it started dimming and slowly moving north. It stopped and it got very bright again, then dimmed until not visible. Then at about 6 pm it was moving north again while continually dimming and getting brighter until it was out of sight at about 6:07 pm.

Three equally spaced, apparent satellites, moving in a straight line one after another

Wy wife and I decided to do a little stargazing and went to our front yard after having a campfire under the trees in the backyard. We laid down on the driveway to look up at the stars and almost immediately noticed a string of three equally spaced lights moving from southwest to northeast. The satellites were moving in straight line one after another after another. We like to look for satellites and these appeared to be satellites, except there were three in a straight line moving at the same speed and approximately one-half inch apart from our vantage point. They were located approximately 60 to 70 degrees above the horizon. We first noticed them when they were almost straight north of us. We watched them till they started to fade away, like a satellites do when moving into the earths shadow. They faded from sight after we watched them travel through approximately 45 degrees of arc. These definitely had the appearance of bright satellites but high! ly unusual since there were three of them equally spaced in a straight line. We suspected they might be the international space station and resupply vessels, but all three had the same brightness and where one support/supply vessel makes sense two at the same time do not.

Nine ornage orbs located East, North - East of Janesville, Wisconsin. Eight appeared to be in a random figure with one quite a distance in the South that was moving faster to catch up with the group. They appeared to be about 60 degrees off the horizon. They eventually moved in a group North and after 10 minutes disappeared into the night. They were as orange as the fruit and moved in synch with each other.

Shape: Cylinder


Stationary, solid, white cylinder floating 20-40 feet above a building.

Saw a white cylindrical object with a dark band around the middle (possibly an indented band with the dark coloring being shadow). Was floating above a store, saw it while I was driving. Watched it for maybe two minutes until I'd gone too far to see it anymore. When I first saw it I saw it from the front, directly ahead of me, and saw that it was cylindrical in shape. As I got farther I saw it was round on the side, confirming the cylindrical shape. It stayed completely stationary. Somewhat windy day, NW 11 mph. 8 degrees outside and nearly completely clear skies. The object was maybe 20-40 feet above the building, can't remember what store. I think it was on Black Bridge Road, perhaps.

I was a little too shocked to take photos or even mention it to the other passengers unfortunately, but I will email illustrations.

Observer background: I grew up in Wisconsin. I was previously a mechanical engineering student in Boston, Massachusetts, now I'm an illustration student in Missouri.

Shape:


figure 8 formation of 20 small objects, in the sky west of Janesville, WI.

I was driving west on Highway 14 out of Janesville, WI, (Saturday afternoon) and looked north and saw what I initially thought were about 20 small parachutes in figure 8 formation in the sky (maybe 3/4 to 1 mile away). I then realized that they were too small for parachutes, (plus there was no plane nearby), so then I thought they must be birds, but the objects were too rounded for birds and stayed in this figure 8 form, rather than circling.

They seemed to have a white base to them. No lights that I could tell. I continued driving, as there wasn't a good place to pull over, so I lost sight of this after a few minutes.

crescent shaped craft with seven evenly spaced orange lights in the backside.

I was in my driveway, waiting for my ride to work. I was looking up at the stars and thinking it was nice to see the stars for once, since I live in town with a few lights that usually hinder the sight of them.

Then just like out of a movie! Something seemed to shimmer into existence...I want to say about half a mile up. It was crescent shaped with what appeared to have seven engines.

Then it darted to the Northeastern direction with no sound at a speed I cant even guess.

Bright white sphere with geometrical points surrounding and within circle, generating energy between points, seen in NW sky at night.

White sphere in NW sky, seen several times at various hours of the night during past month. First appeared as the brightest and biggest star or planet in that direction. Caused us to view through a spotting scope when the object slowly moved up and down and left and right. When magnified, the object appeared outlined in white with geometric bright points throughout the body of the sphere. Energy waves pass between these points and also around the sphere. Colors within the body appear blue and pinkish-orange. Have depicted the sphere on clear star-filled nights and watched it hover around for 30 minutes and more. It appears far away, but always sighted in the same direction. After watching for some period of time, the object disappears and sometimes will reappear later on in the late evening or early morning. Have seen it as early as 7:30 pm as well as after midnight and 2 and 3 am. It seems to generate a strong energy within its circle. It appears larger when sinking closer to the ground.

Triangle shaped craft lights red green and blue.

While my boyfriend was driving I noticed three lights in the sky red, blue and green. At first I thought it was a plain or a jet. It wasn't a star. It was moving around and not staying in one place. The odd lights seem to be in perfect formation, then would disappear and then they reappeared in another area. Finally the craft disappeared, when it made a figure 8 and appeared to come closer into view.

I also want to note that our truck stalled for a bit, then started up again on its own. I also felt this weird feeling over me, and begin to get a really light headed feeling. I asked those who where with me if they felt the same way. They all said they got this weird sick feeling. It felt like a dizzy spell. All six of us where affected by this.

Noticed Odd Shape Stationary Bright Light In Sky

Son saw odd stationary bright light in sky in Janesville, WI as he was coming home with friend.

Son and I went to store about an hour later and I noticed a bright stationary light in the sky, and son mentioned that was the same one he had seen earlier. We parked car and watched it to figure out what may be causing it.

Not an airplane since it was stationary and it was clear sky going dusk. Clouds were no where around it. By the time we decided to take a picture the light just vanished.

8 UFO's with red lights sighted over southern Wisconsin traveling together

I went outside to smoke a cig, just happened to look up and saw a bunch of red lights flying slowly across the sky. They seemed to shift positions amongst each other without the lights changing direction in any manner and the light were bright, except the one in the middle seemed to dim down a bit and stayed that way until I lost sight of them behind the trees. This is the 4th sighting I've seen within about a year, but the first in my whole life I've ever saw more than one at a time let alone a group like that.

Shape: Cigar
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

Bright white UFO, in the shape of a cigar or disc, observed over Janesville, WI at approx. 11:34-11:38 on June 25th, 2012.

I was traveling South on Hwy. 51 from Edgerton, WI and was located approx. 2 and a half miles past the Hwy M turn off to Indianford.

I had gone up the hill and curve about 4 miles from Janesville, at which point the road starts straitening out and the view is less obstructed by trees.

I was looking in the sky, hoping to see clouds, (as we have been very dry in this part of the state), and I noticed an unusual object traveling slowly and veering towards the city of Janesville on a S.E. path.

This object had a bright round center and seemed to be elongated on the metallic, silver sides. There was like a haze around the entire object but the center was a very bright white. It looked like a bright star with an outline where wings should be.

It was traveling slowly enough at first that I thought it was an aircraft. I slowed down to keep the object in sight and realized that there was no jet stream.

There were no flashing lights. There was no sound. The angle of ascent was not like a plane, as it was climbing at a near 90 degree angle.

By the time I reached the last stretch of highway, before reaching hwy. 14, with the jail in sight,the object was moving S.E. and upward at an incredible speed and just disappeared. I figured that it disappeared very high in the sky, but, if I had been standing right under it and looking up, I think the last place I would have seen the object would have been right around the post office area on Hwy. 26 or Milton Ave.

When I first observed this craft it seemed to be traveling at an angle of about 60-70 degrees then rapidly changed to about 80-85 degrees on acceleration. The last impression I had of this craft was a glowing rectangle, outlined black.

This is the second sighting Ive had of UFO craft.

The first was unreported in the winter of 1975 or 1976. My cousin was with me as well and the space craft was literally hovering over us and the top of a now dead Oak tree, for approximately five minutes. There are questions about time displacement I have been struggling with for years about that event.

The reason I bring that up is because although the crafts style was very much different, the flight behavior was very similiar. They both had a gradual acceleration and then "poof", outta sight.

Object with red, white and blue lights underneath craft flashing in random order hovered over mountain top observed for 2 minutes.

It was above a high mountain top I would say possibly 1/4mile. The shape was hard to see since it was too far away. It had red, blue and white lights going off and on underneath the object with a bright light on top. I looked through my small binoculars and asked my husband to come out to look as I handed him the pair I ran back inside to get my larger binoculars and when we both looked it turned sideways and went black. I continued to look at the location of where it was last seen with nothing showing up. It just vanished. Later at about 15 minutes I noticed to the far right of the where the original location of the object the lights further back again in the valley but slowly fading out of sight. My husband did observe this sighting also.

I hung up on my brother so I could take a video on my phone, but unfortunately it didn't come out very well.

The sphere was totally silent, and it was much brighter than anything else in the sky.

Possible viewing of star-field cloaking in use.

I am a 44 year old female. I have attended several years of college, but received no degree. I receive SSDI and do part-time care for an elderly shut-in woman. This is my report of something I witnessed from the back door of my home.

It was the middle of July, 2011. I had been quite sad and frustrated and was home alone crying. It was a nice night so I had the back door of my trailer open for fresh air. The door faces west and I have a wide viewing of the night sky there. I also live a ways out of town so there isn’t much light interference. It was between 1 and 1:15 a.m. when I got up and stood in the doorway, leaning against the door jam. My cat came outside and sat on the porch. I cried and started staring at the stars. It struck me that they didn’t look quite right, but was very self-oriented and didn’t think twice of it. After about 10 minutes, I had stopped crying and was again staring at the stars. A weird movement to the left of my peripheral vision caught my attention. I couldn’t see anything, so again I dismissed it and thought that my eyes were just blurry from having cried.

I went to get a cigarette about 1:45 then went back to the door jam and watched the stars again. That’s when I saw a strange sort of wave in the sky almost due west. It was like seeing 2 or 3 quick water ripples. I thought I was seeing things so I looked closer at that area of the sky. I know the basic pattern of the stars I can usually see and the ones I did see didn’t look right. They were in more of a grid pattern, all seemed to be the same brightness, and they didn’t seem to twinkle. I suddenly had an overpowering, anxious, panicky feeling that I was being watched. I looked around at the neighbors trailers, but there wasn’t anyone outside or in any window that faced me. I then felt a strange electric sensation that made the hair on my arms and scalp stand on end and my fingertips tingle. My cat got up and quickly ran in the house.

I looked up again and was watching this grid pattern. It was if I was transfixed. I couldn’t look away and I felt as if I was in slow motion. I don’t know how long I stared. Then, I can’t say that there was a definite shape to the area, but the stars I was looking at started to shift like they were all slowly moving in unison. It wasn’t a big shift, but it definitely was between 15 and 20 degrees. It took 20 to 30 seconds to complete the rotation. When they stopped, my field of view of the sky seemed to look closer to the normal constellations I see and the grid pattern was less pronounced. I stepped out onto the porch to see more sky and tried to see if the area had a shape I could see. I couldn’t find any edges or darker, shadowed lines. Again, I felt the electric sensation and the tingling. I remember looking down and blinking several times and shaking off the sensations. When I looked up again, the stars looked normal and I could also see the lights of an east bound ! jetliner high in the sky. I remember having the distinctly clear thought “Go inside. Shut the door. Sit and watch some TV. No one will believe you.” It was like someone had told me this because I heard it in my mind. I blankly did such.

It was going on 4 when I realized that I had been sitting on the end of the bed staring at the TV instead of in the middle where I usually sat. It wasn’t until then that I even thought of the strange things I had seen. Initially, I thought the unusual "stars" were more along the lines of government “Star Wars” satellites. That would explain why they were all the same brightness and in a grid. I recalled that when I had first gone to the door, there was the noise of frogs and crickets, but after feeling like I was watched, I don’t remember hearing anything. I never heard a sound like an engine or felt any extra air motion aside from the gentle breeze that had been blowing. I thought that I had just been lucky enough to see the distant satellites change formation in order to do whatever “spying” or weapon exercises they did. It wasn’t until March of 2014 that I heard of “star-field cloaking” that some UFO’s have been reported as using. Now, I question if it wasn’t something like that that I witnessed.

Location: Janesville, WI, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Left a trail, Aircraft nearby, Electrical or magnetic effects

Waiting at a bus stop, a lot of strange stuff happened only a minute before witnessing an object I will NEVER forget!

I had gone to the library after school and spent a few hours there. After I missed the bus, I sat by the bus stop for the next one. About 20 minutes after I got to the stop, two of the street lights flickered slightly and one burnt out, I figured it was just a little strange but something that could still happen. Only a minute or so later, a passing car had to stop from a sudden battery blow out. I thought again that this was weird, but I tried not to think much of it. To pass time, I looked at the sky to find some constellations which takes some time, I thought the bus would come when I found a few, but instead of stars, my eyes were directed at a triangular shape making absolutely no noise. It was made of three yellow lights, one at the top, one on the bottom left, and one on the bottom right. I heard the person in the broken down car say "what the hell is that?" and I figured they were looking at it too but I didn't check. I stared at it until it ! was out of sight, it moved slowly so that took about 2 minutes. In that time, I noticed the lights were changing once in a while from yellow to blue, then to red. Once it was out of sight, I saw about 7 of what looked very much like planes flying together, but of course spaced out, towards the direction the object had gone. When the planes were gone, I looked around to see if the person in the car had seen what I saw, but they were gone along with the car, and somehow the broken light had turned back on. That freaked me out, mostly because no one was around to fix the light (no one can fix a light in that little time anyways) and no one gave the car a jump. I didn't even hear it start.

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object

Object with red, white and blue lights underneath craft flashing in radom order hovered over moutain top for 2 hours.

It was above a high mountain top I would say possibly ½ mile. The shape was hard to see since the light was fading. It was bright white on the top and blue, red and white lights were flashing under the craft in random. It slowly moved within the two hours backwards until the mountain obscured it. My husband also observed the craft. There was no noise from it but we were miles away. The spot it hovered was about ½ mile from the Forest Service Tower. I knew this because I work for the F.S. and knew the exact location of the tower. As it continued to move I could tell it was moving backwards away from our location at our house over the mountain since it diminished in size. Again no noise and it was such a clear night and we have a flight pattern over our house and see many planes lights at nights. It could not have been a helicopter as we heard no noise and we hear so clearly every plane or helicopter in our area very clear.

On our deck on the outskirts of Janesville, we observed one flashing object. It looked sort of like a flashing star. It looked to flash from blue to red to green and white. It wasn’t very big and seemed to go on like that longer than 15 minutes. It was too still to be an airplane or weather balloon we think.

Flashing light object that flew low to the ground, was quiet, and was not fast, nor slow.

I normally do not look outside my window when there is an airplane that passes by, but tonight, we practically have a blizzard outside, and it wasn't as loud as airplanes usually are. I looked outside my bedroom window, and there was something in the sky, a backwards V-Shaped object, with the lights flashing, not like those on airplanes do. It was flying so close to the ground, and I live on the hill, surprised it passed over the hillside. It was a really huge object, nothing like you would see in the United States airforce, or probably any airforce in the world, it was too big. I can't say the objects, as it was snowing too badly to see how big it truely was. All I could see was the lights.

It looks like a diamond in the sky....with a grey haze around it....

I was taking picture of the cloud formations because they were weird that night. I remember the time because it was near sunset (hence the colors in the sky)when my husband and i went outside outside in my backyard to take the pictures. (He took some 35 mm pics that i havent had developed yet.) Anyhow, I didnt see anything irregular in the sky because I was looking at the clouds not at anything else. (We were sending pictures to our local weather guy so that he could see what we saw.) I didnt see anything odd in the sky until I looked at the picture. I took them at all angles, some from a higher distance, (on top of a piece of playground equipment) some from a lower distance. This picture was taken lower as you can tell from the heighth of the cornfield. This one is the only one that has this object in it....I showed it to my husband and he thought it was a plane or something of the like, because there is a small airport located not too far from there, but the clouds were so low that no plane would have been flying under them, and I dont know of any diamond shaped planes.

At 01:45 am. I was at work and we were outside taking a break when I saw a giant flash of light in the sky it was 50 times bigger then any star in the sky and lasted about 2 or 3 seconds. At around 02:00 am I was looking up in the sky where I saw the flash and an object that at first I thought was a shooting star was flying across the sky at a high rate of speed it took about 5 to 7 seconds to cross the entire sky.

We were sitting at a picnic table facing ESE when an incredible huge flash of light appeared 2 of the 3 of us saw it and tried to figure what it could have been. It was bright white and seemed orange/red in the middle it was probably two thirds the size of the moon it lasted about two to three seconds and was gone. About ten to fifteen minutes later I was scaning the sky about where I saw the light when out of the south west an object traveling at an unbeleivable pace crossed the sky heading northeast it took about five to seven seconds to cross the sky I watched it until it disappeared . It was what I thought to be a falling star based on the speed and the color but it didnt burn out like a falling star it just kept going.

we saw about 4 strange lights about 200-300 feet above the ground near a section of woods in our city we see this all the time. i can get video of the incident the photos we took didnt turn out for some strange reason. the lights were green,blue,and orange.

every night we would go to a park near a section of woods and we would all get very strange feelings at the entrance to the woods. we would get massive headaches. we have entered the woods only a few times with about 7 people each time, once inside we would all see a strange set of lights hovering abouve the woods and would sometimes see a white person like being staring at us in the woods. we have had several sightings here in janesville almost too many to mention. Some of us feel that we can track whatever it is that is watching us. in some cases we have noticed a few lights folowing us. i don't know if it would concern u to know that we may have found a secret military base in one section of woods.it was rather dark in the woods but light enough to see each other most people we tell this too doesn't believe us but there are about 30 of us that get together for a yearly meeting about what goes on in this so called peacefull town. and thanx for having this nicely done page so people like us can give a report.

close encounters several events 20 yrs apart

Wish to remain anonymous.: Please note this is strange enough for me to bring up. Was ridiculed for it by my family for what I am about to write.

I am of the age of 35 yrs and almost 20 yrs ago, a friend and I were honestly getting ready to head to the lakes about a mile from my home at the time to have a few beers. Mind you we hadn't had any to drink at this point.

We pulled up to about the end of the lake, “they were man made lakes for reservoirs,” and parked the car got out and cracked our first beer. This was around 9:30 pm.. The year was I believe 1990 and it was around march , “what day I could not be sure,”. Anyhow we just cracked our first beer and looked over to the north east toward cape Canaveral fl.

We noticed a luminescent orange light emerging from the ground. Our first reaction was what is that? I said it's the shuttle. My friend says , “no couldn't be I didn't hear anything on the news about a launch”. I said, “ Me either but there it is.

The strange thing is that it looked to be traveling straight up and at a very slow accent. My friend also noticed this and said that's weird. I agree. And sure as he said that it looked to have shot straight up what looked to be at least 2 miles up within the blink of an eye.

We then noticed it coming in our direction. After seeing it move toward us we guessed it to be at least 3to4 miles away. It was over the lake not more than 50 yards in front of us within less than three seconds. Our initial reaction was holy sh** what the f**k is that.

My friend and I got in the care shaking trying to put the keys in the ignition. I told him how many time in your life will you see this again? So we stayed. I remember it being shaped like a slender oval. It reflected the moonlight and the moon as would a mirror and had two lights on top swaying back and forth touching each other. No noticeable windows or anything.

I don't think they knew we were there. I believe it was purely accidental we saw them that close because when I opened the car door to get a better look, “ this thing at an angle straightened up shot side to side across the lakes at what appeared to now be a white light. It shot back and forth within 2 seconds stopped at the end of the lakes and just shot off towards west palm bch fl you didn't have time to even close your eye and it was gone.

We both agreed that we had just seen what we had seen. I told him we should tell someone. He said sh** I'm not telling anyone there going to think your f***ing crazy. I went home told my mom and brother who both till this day call me a liar and just don't believe.

Look I wasn't a believer in this. Never told stories like this in my whole life about seeing things. Yet how can you help what you see. I am now and always will be a believer.

The story gets better. For about a week after I noticed what appeared to be a white light resembling a star would always be on the right of the cars I would be in and would also change direction with the car as we would turn there it would be on the right side of the car. Weird I thought at first until I thought that no other stars do that so what the f am I going crazy? I kept telling my girlfriend at the time and she about thought I was going crazy too. Until about 6 days after the initial sighting I noticed from my house back by the lakes a light. Looked like a spot light from a helicopter.

I told my girl do you see that? She said it's just a plane or something like that. So out of all last hope I grabbed my lighter , “I know sounds stupid,” and began flickering in click click click pause click pattern. My girl looked at me like I was crazy. Can you blame her. Everyone else thought I was crazy. Until I noticed the light got real bright and flickered the same pattern. My girl said that was co-incidence so I did it again in a different pattern.

And once again it did also. At this point my girl even said that's weird. I noticed the light starting to come our direction and as it got closer we heard the sound of a prop plane. My girlfriend then said see I told you it was a plane and I said no crap your right. At this moment the prop plane sound changed to what sounded like a helicopter . I started to trip at this point and I asked my girl if she just heard that thing change sound. She said yes. And at that moment it sounded like it changed to the sound of a single jet propulsion engine.

The light began to get closer and as it came by the street in front of the house the light dimmed out to almost nothing and the sound just stopped. And there it was again and my girl saw it with her own eyes and starting crying and saying I want to go inside. I told her to look and tell me I am not crazy and she said I see it I see it I want to go in the house.

I told her to go inside and get my mom and her husband , “at the time,” and tell them to come out the back door and look up over the house in the back yard . This thing was 30 ft high and probably 30 ft in front of us. By the time my mom and her husband came out I watched this thing start flickering and moving up down left right and random patterns as fast as the eye could see and disappeared . My mother said that I talked about it so much to my girl that I convinced her to see this in living color and she saw it only because I convinced her to see this, my girl I mean. She even told my mother and they did not believe us. If I was that convincing to make someone see that then put me on ripleys or I am in the wrong line of work. Oh well I know what I saw and have not seen it in almost 20yrs.

Moved to wis. And recently strange things have occurred over the last two weeks that I can not explain. White star like object sitting in the sky around dusk very similar to the one I thought was around for a week prior to the second sighting when I was sixteen. Noticed every night for last two weeks at least ten times this has occurred. Will watch the star slowly descend and turn to amber orb no visual shape other than amber or every once in a while it changes colors but mostly amber. Sits there and moves slow almost as if to get my attention. Will watch it fade out to nothing and light will reappear bright white and turn amber and move slightly . Call this strange but it is really weir-ding me out . After 19 yrs what the hell is it and why does it keep coming back . Have looked around environment and questioning it you know , “ maybe it's a street light , but come up with the same answer. It's not! Reason: It has not been here every night. I've seen this thing at least! 10 times and on a couple of clear nights its not there and 30min later there it is . So if anyone can help me solve this riddle pls do.

Note: I have never been abducted nor have I ever seen an alien being, just what I saw when I was sixteen and now again almost 20 yrs later. Have never been inside of this thing or anything like this.

Just a color changing orb appears at close range.

Is it possible after one has a close encounter for these things to show up and let you know at a distance that they are back or am I just fortunate enough to see this again ? And if so why ? Haven't seen or looked up in almost 20 yrs . Tried to forget what I saw. This all started 4/14/2010 right before the meteor event. Saw these lights before the meteor and have 9 other occasions over the last 2 weeks.

I know I am not nuts considering I haven't seen this in 19 yrs and not the same. This has been appearing around9:30 10: almost every night for the last two weeks. Any explanation would be valued.

2-3 football fields in length in the sky lights all over it. in the middle of Janesville.

I have lived in Janesville for 37 years I know it very well in daylight and nighttime. I was walking home one night in the month of october or september. I lived near the downtown circuit at the time. I always admired the city lights on the east side of the river at night. one evening I noticed colorful lights in the sky it was not very cloudy as i looked I could not believe my eyes. The ship was as large as 1 or 2 city blocks or maybe 2-3 football fields in length. Lights were everywhere on this ship. I could make out a definite rectangular shape looking at the lights. It was moving from the north to the south. not very fast but not very slow either. The lights were not reflections, i saw red green yellow blue. It might have been about fifty feet in height and width. I came closer to my house and then it was gone. I told a few people but no one believed me. I would guess it to be about 1500 ft. in altitude. there is no way I was seeing reflections. There was no sound from the craft. I too wonder if there is a secret military base here in town as a previous U.F.O. report states. I have come to the conclusion that what I saw was of Holographic Design.

anesville WI

I was driving home from work in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. I was traveling north and saw something to the west. At first I thought it might be a tree on fire but I could see the tree line and the orange fire ball was above it.

It was 11PM. So next I could not write it off as the sun and have never seen the moon this bright and orange so I determined it was a ball of fire.

It was still visible when I got home which was about five minutes north of Elkhorn. I awoke my husband and we looked out the window at it and another smaller ball of fire appeared. After a few more minutes it just disappeared. I don‘t remember the month or the year but it was in the late 70‘s.

We called Janesville police and they suggested that they had got other calls but would not comment.

The next day at work I was dying to tell somebody and when I did, a few others had seen it too. A mother and her daughter claimed a flying object buzzed their car when they were traveling to Janesville on their way home.

Then the next day, the mother and daughter brought in a paper article that there were multiple reports of UFO sightings the night I had seen the orange balls of fire.

If anyone has this article from the Janesville paper, I would love to see it.

Mostly sunny afternoon. I was hanging upside down on playground equipment at a parochial school. I saw twinkling objects in the Northwest sky. I thought i had been upside down too long. but when i regained my balance they were still there. I contacted my school principal. He told me he would call the proper authorities. Everyone on the playground seen it. there were a multitude of twinkling lights way up in the sky. all silver. very small but yet visibly shining. there was also an airplane coming in from the southwest, it went behind a cloud and there was a loud explosion. I never saw the plane come back out of the cloud. nor did i see anything fall out of the sky. My principal got back to me and told me the airforce had checked out the lights. I was told it was just tinfoil in the sky. I never saw any report on this incident.
