Black Trail In Sky

We don't think we saw a craft, but we did see a long, black contrail. There was no craft or visible object leaving it, but it did grow in length over the course of about 20 minutes. Even after 30 minutes, it still had not dissipated or broken apart. We think it might have been a small asteroid burning up or perhaps space debris, but we are not certain.

I saw a white, reflective, and tic tac shaped object with no lights that flew over my house twice in a span of 5 mins

I was 6:00 pm in Ludlow, Ma, near Westover Air Force base in Chicopee, Ma my cousin and my Mon are in our driveway. I look up and I see white tic tac shaped ufo with a bright reflection. The ufo stayed and flying west at a steady pace. The aircraft made no sounds, was very reflective and had no lights in the area, unlike the very loud, gray, and big, jets that fly over our house every 30-45 mins. The ufo was gone shortly after taking a 23 second video. Then four mins later it came back around it was the same silent, reflective, white, tic tac shaped aircraft. I got a higher quality but shorter video.

Bright oval shaped object

One object seen hovering low in the sky. Very bright light, seen through binoculars as oval shaped. Sent out periodic beams of light from below the object and above the object, alternating. Planes seen to fly in the vicinity of the object from nearby Northern Ky/Greater Cincinnati Airport. The light brightens at times and sharp streaks of light project from all around the object at that time. As I type this the sighting is ongoing.

BRIGHT LIGHT, LUDLOW, MA, EAST STREET.

Me and my wife were driving down East street Ludlow, Ma. There was just this EXTREMELY bright circular object in the sky, it was almost as if it was glistening. My wife said she felt as if it was two put together in one, like one behind the other, not saucer nothing like that, just these circular balls of light.

The object was extremely bright during the dusk in Ludlow, MA around 8:15 pm. It was so bright I could barely pay attention to the road. It was not blinding me from driving, I just have never seen anything that bright in the sky before. We turned onto the bridge in Ludlow Ave and just like that it was gone. There were two helicopters in the air, I just felt odd because I knew they were looking at the same thing we were looking at. They looked like army helicopters, the ones with the double propellers. It was just so bright…

My wife is usually a skeptic, but years ago I had a sighting at a lake out in the Indian Orchard area of a friend’s house, right in the vicinity of that area. I thought I would never have seen another anomaly in the sky again. The last sighting made me feel as if I was crazy, I just couldn’t understand the reality of what I had seen, not literal crazy. It was a clear blue sky, grey looking flat thing,with some kind of fog or haze appearing right before my eyes, not even like a saucer. It lasted for about 3 seconds maybe? I only say this because what I seen tonight, had made this my second sighting? Or so I like to believe. It just helped me to revalidate the questioning of my own sense of reality. I saw something very BRIGHT.

I work at a fitness gym, I also run a few of my own businesses along with my wife. We are both extremely competent, and for her to be astonished, I knew she finally believed that there are just some things, clearly unexplainable.

Small round silverfish objects over Masspike.

While heading east on Mass Pike in Ludlow on 3/18/16, at approximately 4:40 PM, I noticed silverfish small round shape object in the sky on the right (one o'clock). It was clearly visible against a dark blue cloud, near a bow of rainbow, which originally drew my attention to that spot in the sky.

I shortly noticed a second such object closer to the center of the view, and later two more on the left side. The objects disappeared very shortly. It started raining and no more sightings happen after that. Upon reviewing the recording form my dash cam, I saw not the four objects but numerous like flashing briefly objects showing up and disappearing very fast in that area. The quality of the recording sadly is not that great.

Moving lights over Ludlo,w OK

It was about midnight I and two others watched multiple lights moving about in the sky above a remote pasture off Highway 144 near Ludlow, OK.

The lights were in tight formations. Some in circles, others in delta or diamond shapes, some of which changed colors from red, to green, to blue to white.

There was no noise and they appeared to be at a very high altitude.

To the naked eye, they seemed like bright stars, but were very clear under slight magnification.

A strange big oval shaped bright light hovering in the sky for about ten minutes before slowly moving away and then disappearing

A friend and I went around 10:30 PM to a view spot on a hill where many people go to look at the city. At about 11:30 we saw a very strange big bright oval light hovering in the sky. It looked too bright and big to be any ordinary plane or helicopter. We captured a photo of it and video and in the photo if you zoom in you can distinctively see it is a large oval and is a orange and yellow light. At the time there was no sound of a air plane or helicopter and it was too close to be a star. It hovered with two small dots in the sky for about ten minutes and then it started to move away and suddenly disappeared. My friend and I discussed it for quite a long time trying to figure it out debating what we had just witnessed. There was ultimately no explanation for what we had seen. It just sat there in the sky hovering for ten minutes and it was the most bright unusual thing I had ever seen. It almost looked like the sun but obviously smaller. We showed what we ca! ptured to multiple people and they all agreed that was no plane nor helicopter.

Glowing panels flying over desert between Needles and Barstow

I was driving west on I40 somewhere between Needles and Barstow CA around 1AM or later.

Something passed over my head with some weird lights on it and I can say what the shape really was, but the back end of the craft was very large and had 4 to 6 very large rectangle panels that were glowing blueish white. Kind of looked like a giant window pain flying across the sky. Very "Star Wars" animation like with glowing engines instead of flames.

The panels were vertical to the road, or 90 degrees to the earth, and looked as if I was looking at the propulsion system of something. Do we have plasma drive??? Can't say how high it was or how big it was because I was driving.

I did get some very shaky video of it through my windshield while I was driving.

I know my speed was about 75mph and it seemed to be going twice that but I don't really know because I don't know how high it was or how big it was. Never seen anything like that ever.

I kept my eyes on it until it was out of sight in the far west.

Hope its one of ours!

strange clouds near ludlow ca by hy 40

I was camping with friends at the steadman mining area,last weekend.

Everyone was asleep at 4:30 am. I could not sleep due to flu symtoms. I was sitting in my truck over looking Hy 40. Twilite was beggining to apear on the horizon, when I noticed a chevron shaped cloud about 15 miles to the east. I thought it strange that this cloud was so stationary, because we were expierencing high winds at the time.

I observed this cloud rapidly change shape, seperate into two at great distance apart, change back to one with a small satalite typ companion. It seemed to make these changes in breif intsances when I was looking elsewere maybe in a miniute or two. I also expeirenced some ringing in my ears, don't now if it is related. I have never seen clouds behave in this manner before.

I am a self employed contractor not a meteorologyist, maybe thier is an explanation for this event.

"Spliting Amber Chevron Shaped UFO's in Ludlow , Ca Hwy 40...6/13/2003 3am"

On the early morning of June 13th 2003, My wife and I were on a road trip to the Grand Canyon Az. from Riverside Ca. At about 2 hours into the trip, we were driving eastbound along Interstate Hwy 40 through Ludlow... just above the Twenty-Nine Palms Marine Base. Around 03:06am, Our attention was drawn to a "VERY BRIGHT, single amber colored Object" (Pic#1)off to our left. I was amazed on the Brightness of this object, It was about a half a mile away at about 2 to 3 thousand feet. I quickly snapped a digital photo with a Sony 3.5mp digital cam but the flash went off, so my wife appears on the photo as a negative refection off the passenger window. What is surprising is even with the flash going off... you can still see the Brightness it had. So after that mistake, I quickly turned off the flash and took another about 10 to 13 seconds later... and what was once one object... appears to have split into two separate objects... (pic#2) What I had seen soon after was it disappearing at a 35 degree angle towards the north. We were not alone on the hwy... there was a truck who I KNOW saw it because he swerved like I did when the object appeared. I exited on "Crucero rd" and even saw three California Hwy Patrol Cars parked at the gas station where we had stopped to defragg what we just saw. I "Stupidly" said to one of the officers if they had seen the Object I seen ...using the term UFO. I was Laughed at and told Marines are using FLARES to light up the area during maneuvers... which could be true. But I Know what a Military Flare looks like in fight. No parachute, no smoke trail... and I never seen anything take off at a 35 degree angle at a speed from a dead stop. So I have enclosed five Pics for evidence and my word as it Happened! Thanks for a place to put this important information , at least someone cares! A.Chacon

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted beams

We were driving east on route I 40 when my friend, ((name deleted)) who was driving said"what is that?" Of the right side of the road perhaps five miles away and just in front of some hills we saw a tringular-shaped craft with a few white lights bordering it hovering less than 500 feet off the ground. It also made unusual side to side and sweeping maneuvers and was simultaneously shooting blue streaks of light at the ground underneath it which caused small dust clouds to jump around. We had stopped at the side of the road and were outside of our van watching this object and basically both concuded that this flying object was making movements that no craft we knew of could make. After about 10 minutes of our watching this object it suddenly shot straight upward and disappeared frow our view. We did not report this sooner as we did not know of this internet site and after awhile could not remember the exact date as we had made a lot of trips between Los Angeles and Arizona during a two month period to buy property. We are now aware that there is a USMC testing base in that area but do not believe this was a military craft.

beaming red lights and smoke fill the background in a remote mountainside out in the Mohave desert.the lights were pulsing and the area seemed to be the size of a football field.i thought it was a odd place for construction, that being on or near the train tracks.the closer we traveled to the lights the more apparent it was not a train or a construction site.i never had the will to report this but it was not a scheduled event.the sure enormity of the site.when i traveled back through to the location there wasn't even a glimpse of any activity to the area.i know what i had seen and there is no obvious answer!

Characteristics: Lights on object

Black silhouetted object against glow of distant town. Flashing light on one edge. Hovers then drops down out of sight.

My hobby was Astronomy and I would get up late at night to look out of my window at the stars. It was a summer night I believe in August of 1957. I was looking south toward the massachusetts turnpike and toward the town of Indian Orchard, Mass which cast a glow into the night sky. I was ten years old at the time. My stargazing was interrupted by a rapidly flashing bluish white light. I thought it was some kind of firefly but when I looked directly at it I saw that it was on one edge of a black silhouetted cigar shaped object. It reminded me of a weapon discharge such as a machine gun. It was 'firing' in the same direction of travel as the object and appeared to be slowing the object down as if it were a retrorocket. The object (which I estimated to be large...at least several hundred feet long) slowed to a halt over the hill. The blue-white light ceased to discharge. After a few seconds it slowly descended behind the hill and out of sight (there is a valley there where the Ludlow River (it may be called the Chicopee River actually) flows. I watched for hours but it never came up into view again. I had heard that the Ludlow police had seen it in a different area that night at about 3am but never verified this in newspapers recently.

A large black silhouette tapered on both ends with a bluish white light flashing intermittently on one end.

I was 9 years old and loved astronomy so I would sneak out of bed late at night to look out of my bedroom window. In the distance was a hill then beyond that a valley with a river and then the town of Indian Orchard. The lights from that town showed a silhouette of a very large (a couple of hundred feet?)black cigar shaped object slowly traveling from left to righ with a light at the right end that flashed blue and white now and then. It stopped then slowly went down behind the hill but I never saw it again. I read in the paper that the Ludlow police also saw the same object and would love to find that report to verify my memory of the exact dates involved.
