NUFORC UFO Sighting 84654
Occurred: 2008-06-30 19:00 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2011-10-20 07:29 Pacific
Duration: about 2-3 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Barksdale Air Force Base, LA, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

Odd light witnessed over air force base unlike any known aircraft or aircraft light

I was driving on the air force base about two or three blocks south of the West gate. At the time I had a pathfinder with a sun roof that was open. The hangers and runways were to my left (East). This is the vicinity that I saw the light in.

I have grown up my entire life around the air force base and have been familiar with all kinds of craft, and the lights and how they look at night. I have lived south of the base, East, North, and West. I'm familiar with the flight paths. I was also married to someone in the military. It would be difficult for me confuse what I saw with any known military air craft.

It had not been dark too long when I saw it. It was sometime around 6 or 7. My son was in the car but was only around three yrs old.

I looked up toward my Left/East and saw a glowing light. It was an orange color but almost a white orange, not really a darker orange. It wasn't a small light that you would confuse with some smaller lights on aircraft. All I could make of it was that it was a larger, unmistakable light.

I've seen probably 3 or 4 shooting stars as well. This object would almost resemble a shooting star except that it had no tail at all, it was larger, it was more orange, and it moved MUCH more slowly. It was so unlike any aircraft or aircraft lights that I didn't even consider it to be this even though it was seen on base.

I immediately thought it was a shooting start, but an instant reaction was.. .I can't see how that could possible be a shooting star either...I've never in my life seen one that slow, without a tail or streak.

I thought maybe it was a flare but even flares move faster than that so there is no way. I'm really not sure what it could have been but it certainly struck me odd enough that I KNEW it was strange and nothing I could reason. I was surprised I literally stopped my car in the road and watched it move southwest at an angle through my sun roof.

This is the first I've mentioned it in any way.....I never said anything because there wasn't a second witness and figured people would call me crazy. There was no audible sound.

Black Triangle Over Barksdale AFB Summer 1999

All four witnesses (including myself) were active duty in the USAF when we observed the object.

Summer of 1999, I, my supervisor, a subordinate, and Our boss, were on the flightline at Barksdale AFB. It was dead silent with a clear sky and no wind to mention. We first noticed some stars were missing and then realized something was blocking them out. We were the only four people out there on the line.

It was triangular in shape approximately 200 feet in length and 80-90 feet wide at the rear. There was a single red light at the front and a white light at either trailing tip. It flew around 5 mph and was completely silent. It was less than 800 feet in altitude.

It flew directly from the south end of the ramp to the north end. We were able to easily drive ahead of the object to view it longer.

Our Boss called the tower and nothing showed on radar.

We all stood there until the craft was out of sight and then returned to working. No reports were filed, no one wanted to be investigated, ridiculed, or worse.

Due to my current position, I omit certain information on the report registery information, but can be contacted at the e-mail I have provided this agency.

In 1952 I was stationed at Barksdale AFB in Shreveport La. about 6 AM this cigar shaped UFO, about 100 yds long, approached about 800 to a 1000 feet in the air, it had port holes every 10 feet or so. it came in toward me, turned sideways, remained motionless for about 2 minuets or so, then turned arround and sped off in the direction it came from. I went to the expermental hanger at Barksdale, and asked the guard if I could have a look insids, He sid "NO" then I told him what I saw, he said he had seen the same thing, at which time he opened the man door and said " have a look, we have some goofey looking stuff, but nothing like that."
