After trying remote viewing for the first time. I went out to the deck and saw a craft come 50 ft within me hovering over houses.

So as I was on the deck I saw lights coming towards me in the woods. Then saw it come right on the other side of the street between two house hovering just above the houses. I panicked and called my dad since no one knew I tried contacting something through remote viewing. Then took video and photos of what I saw. Nothing can explain the movement of this craft. Also I could feel a magnetic field pulsating.

Observrved 2 bright glowing craft steady in sky.

We took a drive on back roads this evening. Got back to the campground. about 9. There was a girls baseball game in a nearby field.Got out of the Jeep and Enoch ( husband) jokingly said, look, your UFO'S. well there they were. 2 of them. He thought maybe satellites or weather ballons. ( give me a break). But over a half hour they never moved. They were pretty far apart. Un moving. But lower than the clouds. They were big. We got out binoculars and watched them. They were sort of oval. They looked like if you took a long neon bulb and bent it like a balloon with ends touching in the middle like a tube balloon and tied the ends together. They had a dark line in the center running lengthwise. Very brilliant white. They never went in any direction . No other lights other than their brilliance. Clouds were moving. The moon was moving, but they remained still.Passenger jets flew (under) them lower and military above them, but the were unnoticed, except after a half hour started gettin smaller indicating they were going straight up away. They got farther away passing through the clouds as they went getting smaller and smaller until they dissapeared beyond the clouds. Guess who is a believer now. Gloria Hager.

Stationary in sky. Bright almost oval shaped with a long dark center.

We arrived at campground and getting out of the vehicle my husband said, look UFO's. He laughed because he knew I believed in them and he didn't. But they were fairly large, Under the clouds and were brilliant white with a long dark centers. They were not circular, but on the oval side. The closest one seemed to have a small shadowy section on the lower right end. They never moved from their positions during the whole time, but they slowly over the half hour grew smaller as they retreated farther away. Going above the clouds and out of sight.My husband is now a believer.

For well over a month now I have been seeing these orange or bright LED orbs where I live. My neighbor up the road has seen and managed to catch almost the same unidentified objects on film also. Last night 11/4 I was startled with a close encounter. I woke up in the middle of the night to let the animals out. When I swung open my front door I immediately seen at least 10 orbs hovering above my yard. I love in the country with very little neighbors close by, so it's always dark with no lights obstructing the view. When I looked up at them they were floating or swaying down towards the ground real slow. These were orange in colored and would fade out when there was movement on the ground. This incident scared me and I immediately shut the door and curtains and went to our bedroom. Normally I'll stay up and watch these orbs just to see what they do and make sure that I'm truly seeing what I'm seeing. I've mentioned to it to family members about these sightings! and everyone just brushes it off to be a plane which is so frustrating. So tonight I was outside putting firewood in our outdoor furnace and noticed 2 LED colored orbs across the road by the farm equipment hoovering. There was 3 over in the field where the horses graze and 5 to my left further on up the road at my grandmother's farm where the cows are. Watching there movements is incredible. It's this graceful swaying at times to no movement. The LED orbs are so bright it hurts your eyes to look at. I've pulled out binoculars to see what it could be and it's so bright. At times you can see them turning in circles when hoovering in one spot. Almost like a flashlight turning with them. I was watching one hoovering in front of my neighbors window at night(she lives on top of the mountain, me in valley but at night now that leaves are off the trees I can see her lights coming from their living room. Mt husband and I literally watched this orb hoovering within eyesight of her w! indow. We watched it come down from the sky and stay there for! well ov er 30 mins. It then slowly and gracefully lowered down into the valley and worked it's way over the cattle field also triggering a motion light as it passed right by. This particular orb wasn't no more than 30 feet from the ground. The last thing I want to mention is, last night when I seen the ones hoovering in my front yard that scared me. Later that night 3am ish I seen this bright bright white light coming through my curtains. I glanced out the crack and saw 2 orbs hoovering above my truck. It was so bright it lookws like the sun was shining. It was so crazy. I'm such a thrill seeker and get so excited seeing unexplained things such as these. Buy lately, it's getting to close for comfort and now I'm just genuinely freaked out bc I have no clue what this is. We've been seeing these more frequently. And my husband is dumbfounded with no explanation on what we are seeing. Before he would blow it off. But not now. We seem to always see orbs. Orange and the bright LED color. ! We have watched blinking red crafts that stay in one spot for long periods of time and take off. These blinking ones defy the odds of being a plane or drone. The movement has been incredibly fast and my neighbors has a video of a fleet. I've never seen anything like it in my life. I've reached out to my brothers who are in the military and they were amazed at what they seen to. I would welcome a team of investigators to stay on our farm for 1 week to document and explain to us what we are seeing. And I'm not sure if this means anything but when we've tried to film with our cell phones our batteries drain so fast or our phones shut off even if they are at 50% battery life. Maybe its the temperature changes maybe not. But this is the 2nd battery I've had to replace on my cell since spring of 2020.

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Clear, no moon, unlimited visibility, no street or house lights, very rural area. While outside I observed a black triangle craft slowly moving from southwest to northeast directly over my house. The craft made no sound, no engine sound, no contrails or exhaust observed. Estimated from 500 to 800 feet above me, about the size of a small house, moving very slowly. Craft had a series of white lights on sides and stern, which was a rounded concave shape. No reflections of any kind seen, the white lights were quite brilliant but didn't reflect off the craft itself or light up the ground. Craft appeared very smooth with no detail or markings seen. The black color is hard to describe, it was VERY black. Observed for about 5 minutes. I've seen military aircraft in similar shapes, and there is a small airport a few miles east of me. This was not a typical aircraft, there were no typical red green running lights, no strobe lights, and no engine sound. I am a retired ! police officer, trained to observe. This sighting has really disturbed me.

Two white flashing lights this morning, over Montrose Co.

This morning I extremely bright white light woke me up, (the head of my bed is directly next to a window.) The light was extremely close to the ground, so I am sure it was not a helicopter. The light was flashing, and darting, about ten feet every time it flashed. As it was flashing the object was slowly inclining into the sky, but still darting around about 20 feet every time it flashed at this point. Then I saw a smaller object appear next to the original larger object. At this point both flashing lights were quite small. Then they both darted off. Shocked and curious, I looked into when satellites were to pass over Montrose, Colorado. A satellite was secluded to pass over today, but at 7:32pm this evening. This happened at 5:50-6:00am. It felt like time was lost, so this event could have been longer than this approximate time. My right hand has a small cut, in between my thumb and index finger.

My friend and I were driving home and all the sudden out of the clouds a huge large silver sphere was falling from east to west. Large blinking LED lights. We didn't capture a video because it all happened so fast. It was so big for miles away we saw it. We don't know what it was. It was silent.

And a friend following five minutes behind us driving saw colors of green, white and red. A completely different one. Something is going on! Before this all happened, there were large carp fish spreaded all around our property and we are nowhere near a lake. These fish are probably 15-20 pounds, and 30 of them. Our dog was also acting very strangely to us and growling. This was this morning.

Ball of light Chased by U.S. military

Me and a friend were looking up and we both seen at the same time a light that was flashing, just a bit brighter than the stars and almost had a red tint to it here and there and was moving in almost a triangle form slowly. It was not flashing quickly, like a planes would. The object disappeared behind a tree that was in our way and didn't see anything for about another 5 min. Then we look up again and I don't know if it was a different UFO, but this one was streaking across the sky almost like a satellite looks, almost the same spot where we lost the other UFO, but this was having various speeds and disappearing ever so slightly heading east, north east, and as we were watching it out of the west and south there were what we think military planes looking for this object! There were 3 planes all together, and before all of this there were no planes in the sky! also before these events happened we seen the best shooting star with a pretty blue tail trailing off the end of it.

The planes keep going over and around the spot where the UFO disappeared for about another 20 min. I really wish i had a camera with me at the time!

Speeding Star like object streaks back and forth blacks out ,comes back and joins others in diamond shape.

What I saw was a star like object moving slowly across the sky and then speed up really fast, and then disappeared. Showing up again with in seconds to the N/W sky. This when I recorded the object. Then, very quickly, was moving up and down and would disappear and be in a different place, when it reappeared. It also would go to a spot repeatedly to where what seemed to be three smaller star like objects, shaped in kind of a diamond with a reddish glow in the middle, I'm guessing.

One large orange ball crossed the sky above the horizon at apporximately 8:15 on 8-22-16 in Montrose, Co.

At approximately 8:15 on Monday Aug 22, 2016, sitting on my patio looking west a large orange ball went from north to south across the sky just above the horizon above the airport. It was slow moving and decreased elevation as it traveled until it was out of my line of vision. It was bright red orange. I didn't get a picture. It was just getting dark. It took a minute or so to pass from my view from right to left which is not the direction of incoming aircraft. There were trees between it and my patio which blocked the view for part of the passing. The airport is a couple miles directly west of our house and it looked to be passing over that area. When it was out of my view it would have bee quite a ways South of the airport area.

White Orb, only noticed due to low flying Cessna type plane going same direction

Towards east moving slowly to ENE, clear sky, looked like a white donut but without center poked out, then to a spherical shape watched for an hour till faded away, looked more rectangular towards the end.

We used binos and a 9x rifle scope to view, the pictures and video from cell phone just show the white shape.

When first noticed looked as though "playing" doing flips and such, then settled down. Color: white then orangeish(believe due to sunsetting).

Bow Tie shaped craft near Montrose, Iowa.

On the morning of September 12, 2014 we were driving home from work when we topped a hill near the Lee County Sheriff’s Office on Highway 61 South in Iowa and saw very bright lights low in the sky. Left to right were; green, white and red. All were very bright and looked like a cluster.

We drive this road six mornings a week and have never seen anything like this before. We proceeded on our way watching the lights, they stayed were they were, and kept getting closer to us.

When we came around a corner between mile marker 13 and 14 we drove under this cluster and looked up to see what we could make out, three green lights, one very bright white light in the center, and three red lights in a bow tie shape. It was approximately 200–300 feet above the road and appeared to be slightly larger than an average sedan.

Round peach colored object heading wsw

I went outside to put the dog out and observed a beautiful clear star filled co. sky. I observed one jet aircraft heading west to east.

I looked to the north about 80 degrees up and noticed an object traveling east north east to west north west that was round in shape and peach colored. It headed to a tree which I ran around to try to observe better and on the other side a jet appeared. The jet was high in elevation, about the same as the other object. The jet had its light flashing and the other object had no flashing lights.

I didn't see the other object again but its diameter was larger than the jet. It may have been shadowing it. I would guess their elevation over 20 thousand feet as ours is 5890. There were no flashing lights on the unknown object.

2 Glowing, super fast moving orbes in the western colorado sky on march 2nd 2013.

On march 2nd 2013 at about 7:00 pm i stepped outside to have a smoke, it was then that i looked ahead into the south western sky and whitnessed two glowing orbes. These orbes were orene in color, flying real close to each other and just acting verry strage to be just some regular air craft.

I live near an air port and have seen enough stuff in the sky. the air port is about 10 miles in the opposite direction of where these crafts were spotted. one of these cradts shot straight up in the sky at a rate of speed that I have never whitnesses before it was out of my visual view in a matter of 1 or 2 seconds.

The other craft stayed around a bit longer and continued heading north. This 2nd craft also took of faster than any thing i had ever seen. I could not hear any sound comming from ither of these crafts and they were a solid illuminated color. They were illuminated orange, there were no flashing lights they were lit up solid. I have video evidence of this sight! ing that I would like to share with any body who is interested in seeing this compelling video i just need to send it in the form of a video txt messege.

orange and red oval shaped lights seen by to in Western Colorado!!!!!

I stepped outside to have a smoke and no sooner after i did that i whitnessed to oval objects flying verry close to each other. at first they appeared to be side by side and moving slowley. shortley after i spotted them they began to seperate. Both objests were at first headed north. Suddenly one of the objects began to climb in elevation it headed straight up (and I mean straight up) verry verry fast it was out of my eye sight in a matter of moments. the other craft continued heading north also this craft was at first traveling slowley than it just sped up and accelerated verry verry vast and was out of sight in a matter of moments, how ever it did ot head up into the sky like the other one it just continued heading north.

What compelled me to report this was the fact that these crafts did not move like a hellacopter or plane they were way faster, and hellacopters and planes dont just go straight up like that. Also they were jot illuminated like a hellacopter or air plane there were no flashing lights they were a solid red and orange color there no flashing lights at all just a solid ball object in the nights sky. Also they did not make any noise they were silent and i believe they were low enough in altitude that I should have been able to hear some sort of sound comming from them. The weather conditions were great it was a clear nite in colorado, my mother also whitnessed these lights in the sky. i've seen lots of air craft in the sky as I live near an airport (about 1.5 miles away but in the opposite direction of where these lights were originally spotted) so I feel like i've seen enough air craft in the nights sky to say with out a showdow of a doubs that these particullar air craft were j! ust DIFFERENT and verry out of the norm. Air craft do not jenerally fly super close to each other, they make sound of some sort, and they are not usually light up in a solic color, normally they have flashing lights and that is clearly evident in the video footage that I have. im not teck save so i need to sent this video to some body in the form of a text message video. YOU NEED TO SEE THIS IT IS CAPTIVATING!!!!!

"Star" flying South with purpose like an aircraft

One object alone was seen. Flying Southward, it looked exactly like a star in the night sky BUT it was moving horizontally (south) and with purpose, like an aircraft. It had all of the characteristics of a star commonly seen in the sky but did not move like a "normal" star. We are just average joes that happened to notice this so we thought it would be important to report. We initially thought it was a satellite but are thought satellites orbit outside of our atmosphere. We want to remain anonymous.

After watching fireworks, I continued to look up at the night sky. I saw a huge circle of red / orangish light at a distance moving toward the house. It was small at this time. We then went around the house to sit and talk on the patio. Then a friend said to look up to the sky and see the large bright light. It was the same ball of light only much larger and closer now. I continued to watch it as it got smaller and then suddenly disappeared from the night sky. It was silent, not a helicopter or a plane. No blinling lights and no noise. It had flown on somekind of path around the house....seeming to circle the house but could not tell the distance.

solid bright light hovering in sky.

We were driving home from taking a cruise around town. As we were passing an elementary school, we encountered a very bright object due north east hovering in the sky around 11:05 pm. Me and my friend looked at this object and thought to ourselves that it was just an airplane coming in for a landing but the strange thing was that it was not moving, and there were no flashing lights around it, and it was a solid white light. As we kept driving, a tree passed in front of us which got in the way of the object, and after passing the tree where there were no other trees around, the bright circular object was gone! We both freaked out, and turned around and went back to the same spot where we had seen it, and to our surprise, it was no where to be seen in the sky. No picture was able to be taken due to poor timing.

Loud humming dark craft passed overhead against a bright cloudy night.

I heard an amazing loud humming noise coming from West-southwest. The event grew louder and louder as it approached our house and I jumped out of the Hot tub to see if there was an aircraft that was going to crash nearby. The only thing I could assume was that it was a jet airliner, but it was getting way to loud and way to close. The sound was also somehow wrong and a lower tone than a jumbo jet, and it sounded like an electrical transformer hum, but at a deeper and yet sharper tonality with a bit of a throb to it.

The craft flew nearly over our ranch and was nothing but a dark spot (or lack of cloud reflection) in the sky against the clouds. No lights at all. You could feel the strong humming in the air and my body was vibrating with the noise as it passed heading up towards the hills and on to Gunnison Colorado. Never heard or felt anything like it.

Three circular objects moving at good pace in SW direction

La Crescenta , CA . ( Briggs Canyon Area)

On the evening of November 14th, 2007 at approximately 10:30pm, my 16 y/o son and I were outside looking for our cat that ran outside.

While my son searched for the cat, I happened to look up to the sky as it was a clear night and the stars were out. I noticed two red and blue “Stars” twinkling rather fast and they seemed to be moving.

I went inside to get the binoculars for a closer look, and as I focused on the “Stars”, they appeared to be red/blue circle-shaped objects that were moving southwest.

I would have passed these off as stars had these objects moved together in the earths natural rotation; however these two red/blue twinkling objects seemed to be moving towards a third object farther in the distance and got considerably closer during the 45-50 minutes we watched this. I compared these particular objects to the other stars in the sky, even the bright yellow planet Venus, and there were no other similar objects like the three we were watching.

We watched this phenomenon for about an hour and the two objects were moving at a good pace towards the third object which moved at a slower pace in the same southwest direction.

Ultimately, it appeared that the two larger objects were trying to reach the more distant third object of the same description.

The next evening my son went outside to see if he could witness the same thing and he claims he did. Same "Stars" in the same place at the same time.

We are curious.

Stationary object with three pulsating lights

I woke up shortly before 3:00 am. From my bed I have an excellent view of the eastern sky. I noticed a bright, pulsating, stationary light in the sky at a distance of at least 15 miles. I observed for a minute and woke my wife. While she observed I ran down to find my binoculars (10x25 Nikon). I observed the UFO for a minute and then handed the binoculars to my wife. Without any comment from me she described what I had seen; three equidistant, white lights, apparently attached to some sort of object. After about 3-4 minutes of observing it moved to the east and remained barely in view for another 10 minutes and then become impossible to view.

This is the third incident in about two months of an anomolous occurance in the same area. The first was bright, stationary object that I thought was a planet. While observing it dimmed completely out and then came back "on". Unless I lost my bearings and confused it with a planet it remained there until sunup.

Second sighting was of a very bright object at 9:00 in the same area. Again it appeared stationary as I gauged it to the stationary horizon. Honestly, it looked like it could have been an airplane reflecting the sun just right, but then it dimmed out. It very well could have been an airplane but it must have been moving directly away from me as it appeared stationary.

The third sighting described at the beginning of this report was very distinct in that we could make out something that did appear to have structure.

Anyway, still can't be sure of anything but perhaps this will get some more eyes trained on the area east of Montrose.

long pencil-like fast moving craft wtih steady green lights and a flashing red light

i was driving down montrose ave. when i saw a strange craft in the sky above me. it was very long, like a pencil, with steady green lights on each end, and a flashing red light in the middle. the craft was far too close to rooftops to be a plane, and it didn't look like a plane anyway... i started following it down montrose ave, but it was going about 55 mph, which was faster than i dared go on a saturday night with all the police around. the craft turned and was going steadily up pennsylvania ave, which is where i turned also. the craft turned again at foothill blvd, which is where i saw many civilians in their cars watching it, and one car followed it along foothill with a video camera. the craft moved quickly and i heard no sound from it, though it was close to rooftops. after following it for awhile, i went home and i saw it cross my street and continue downward, toward honolulu ave. that was the last i saw of it, as i went in my house.

It was one craft that left many

My time and date may be off but this event did happen. My brother called us all outside to view what he thought to be a ufo and when we got outside we could see why. This craft was massive taking up most of our view of the souther sky. As we watched lights began to circle around it the lights were only white. Then a ball shaped beam that completely detached from the craft dropped into a small forest in our southern fields then the craft left. After the crafts departure many smaller crafts were seen flying around with white and red flashing lights of the same shape as the larger one but much smaller small enough to number in the hundreds. My brother went to go see what was dropped in the woods many hours went by and when he returned he thought that he had only been gone one hour at tops and he found nothing.

Well first off every year as a young child i remember a ufo landing ing my back yard

When I was a child every year around the same time I had what I thought was a dream of a ufo landing in my back yard and me going out to greet them where they would land there was a tree so I told myself it was a dream because the tree wasn’t disturbed. That changed recently when I stared hearing about them going through walls I started to wonder if maybe this wasn’t a dream. Then at about 13 years old I had a dream of being on a craft and being operated on under a bright light I also remember being shown the ground through what looked like a hole in the bottom of the craft. This is a short summary. But then finally at about 15 my grandma is washing dishes and I look out the window and see three ufos spinning in the air I scream to my grandma look look out side but it was like she couldn’t hear me till it was over they took off in the blink of an eye leaving behind them a trail of fire in the sky or what looked like fire. Finally recently I’ve been seeing a very bright star that keeps turning off and on and when I look a few minutes later the star is gone that’s about the shirt of it.

Large 100 ft long 50 ft high oval sphere shiny like a blob of mercury tree top level 100 yards away or closer.

large oval shaped silver mettalic blob over 100 ft long 50 feet high , during daylight within 100 yard of us at tree top level.

My wife and I live in fairdale 7 miles west of Montrose, PA. In a very remote area. We were in our garden on a bright clear day. It wasn't very windy but a steady breeze was blowing fron west to east (5-10 miles per hour) We were both facing north and looking at the ground when we heard a noise like wind swishing over something and turned around to see a large oval shaped sphere less than 100 yards away floating above the tree tops going against the wind. We stared at it . It looked like a giant ball of mercury going from east to west against the wind causing a sound as the wind blew around it. it slowly moved across the tree top behind some trees at the lower portion of our property.

I tried to get a better look at it and walked down the field to see were it went. Then ran to the workshop and called a neighbor down the road where the craft was heading. He ran out side but could not see it.

This thing had no lights , windows, motor or anything it almost looked like a blimp but was so shiny it looked like a polished mirror surface IT WAS NOT A BLIMP OR MAN MADE BALLON it just dissappeared behind the trees.

The strange thing was we (my wife and I I) never talked about it until a few days or weeks later. I said to her "what do you think that was" and she said "who knows" Till this day we can't remember where our kids where or why we didn't react more freaked out by this experience. We remained very calm and went back to gardening At the time our kids were young some preschool and don't know why they were not with us in the garden or near by. I'm glad my wife saw it too or I would think I might have been hallucinating. It seemed the craft made no sound and we wouldn't have known it was behind us except for the noise the wind made blowing over it. Also it seems strange that we were'nt afraid of it. I have search the web for similar disciptions but can't find any. I have never seen anything so shiny in my life, just like mercury.

no lights, windows gondala, propsetc just a silver sphere going agaisnt the wind.

white light

I was out walking our dogs one night, when I saw what looked like an enormous star on the horizon.This was about three quarters of a mile away from where I was standing. The star seemed to be right at the top of a heavily wooded hill, just over the tops of the trees. I looked at it for a short time and took our dogs back into the house. I don't know why, but I went back outside to see it again. I realized it was'nt a star because it was moving very slowly down the hill ,without makeing any sound. It was a white circle of light, that glided just over the tops of the trees and did not illuminate anything. All I can think of to describe the light, is that it was "self contained"?The light seemed to have hard edges. The woods should have been lit up with light but it was'nt. Then I noticed a soft blue light on the left side of the light. It did'nt flare out, but was "contained" too. It seemed to be coming from the back of the light. It(the blue light) seemed to have kind of a marbleing effect to it.After a few seconds the "blue" was'nt there anymore.. It continued on down the hill towards me and I started to get a little "rattled". It came to a complete stop about 250 feet away from me and was absolutely motionless. There was a large tree just to the front of the light, but the light did'nt shine through the branches. Then I became confused because the light just was'nt there anymore.At that point the light was roughly 30 feet in diameter. I thought it was gone. Then I noticed some kind of movement and I ran to the opposite side of the back porch. I heard a low pitched ,deep humming sound like a generator. It was sporadic like an engine thats idleing. I could make out what looked like several amber colored squares of very soft light, butcould'nt see the shape of the object they were coming from. At that point it was about 150 feet away from me. I could have easily run along side of whatever it was,it was moveing so slowly. I did'nt have the courage....I watched it for a short time and then it was gone. It ! did'nt f ly off..it was just gone. I did report it to the Pennsylvania Mufon Director.

Duration: 2 to 3 hours
No of observers: 2

Location: La Crescenta, CA, USA

Shape: Formation


Triangle formation in foothills.

I lived up at the top of Briggs on Freeman, way up by Angelese National Forest. Very few lights, very little people. I went out of my house to walk down the street to babysit the neighbor's kid. I was in an astronomy class in high school, so every time I went out at night I checked the skies to identify constellations. I looked up, as usual, and saw over in the north-northeast three "stars" in a triangle shape. It stumped me, because I could figure out what constellation it was. I remember thinking something about the Summer Triangle; most likely that it couldn't be the Summer Triangle because of the time of year or location. I assumed it was a constellation that wasn't easily seen in town, and I was just lucky to catch it on a clear night, up in the foothills where there were no lights to interfere. I went on down the street to babysit.

A few hours later I returned home. It was close to 11:00 p.m. or so, and I again looked up into the sky. The same "constellation" was in the same location. I knew at that point that it was impossible, after several hours, those stars should have moved. I stopped to watch them. I noticed they were brigher than the other stars. As I watched, the three points of the triangle came together in the center, scrambled around each other, then shot off in three different directions at an incredible speed. Needless to say, I was a little freaked and ran into my house.

The next morning I heard my parents talking in the kitchen before I got up. They said something about not mentioning anything to me, because with my imagination it would scare me. Years later I asked them both about the incident. They both remembered that my father had gone outside after I had left to babysit. He went to close the garage door. He also saw the lights. Something happened, he never did tell me what, but whatever it was was more than just three "stars" up in the sky, otherwise there would have been no need to protect me from what was seen.

So, apparently I saw them in formation, went indoors, and in the interval between my two sightings of them, my father also saw something. Maybe they broke formation and scrambled off, like they did with me, but for what ever reason they came back in time to put a show on for me when I went back outside.

A father and son driving to work saw intense blue light fill valley.

This event I relate to you is second hand, as the participants have died or cannot be located. A father and son were driving south from Montrose Colorado early one morning to go to work in a Uranium mine in the town of Uravan, Colorado. The son was trying to sleep in the back seat and the father was driving the car. About 20 miles south of town the father saw an odd and brillant light coming from the west over a ridge. (This highway was two lane and in a deep valley the entire distance.) He continued driving wondering what the light could be as the Sun rises on the opposite side of the valley and a plane couldn't be a light source of this intensity. He drove for a short time longer and at that point the Light broke from behind the mountain and was of such an intensity as to be uncomfortable to look it. He stopped the car and brought it to the attention of his son who had already noticed the light. They got out of the car and paused in total wonder and stark fear as to what this thing could be. It didn't fit anything they had ever experienced or heard of. At this point other cars had stopped in both lanes of traffic as others became involuntary witnesses to its sheer power. They described the thing as being (roughly oval shaped) of an intense Blueish hue, much like a welder arc but no definite form could be made from it as the light was so bright, sharp images were impossible to see. It filled the entire valley with its light, making the landscape and surrounding hills totally visable. It traveled without sound and at a very slow pace in a West to East direction. Proceeding across the valley and eventually was obscured to vision by the ridge opposite of its entry. They said it was very large and low over the mountain but never gave an estimate as to size. As it escaped from direct view its glow was seen for many minutes as it lazily departed the area. They were both left with a feeling of absolute astonishment to have seen something so unearthly but glad that others had shared this experience. The motorist all spoke for a few moments and had no conclusions as to what it could have been. This father and son only worked at Uravan for a short time after this event but were always unnerved to drive that stretch of road (in darkness or daylight from that point on) dreading a second encounter with this "Thing".
