Location: Holden, UT, USA
Location details: about 35% above the horizon at about 1:00 o'clock heading north bound on I-15

Shape: Formation
Explanation: Starlink - Possible
Characteristics: Lights on object

About six lights in alignment with lighted straight line connecting each one.

I do not know how many objects it was. There appeared to be about six lights in a row that were connected to each other by lighted straight lines.
It disappeared instantly after about five seconds of noticing it. I wondered if it was a reflection, but it was dark, the moon had not risen above the horizon, and there were few vehicles around me. I was traveling at about 8:00 p.m. northbound on Interstate 15 just north of Holden, Utah, Millard County. I can submit a drawing if desired.

White/yellow glowing egg shaped object flying low south to north Holden, MA

11:57 pm- took my dog out to do his business in our front yard. He went to the edge of our property, a rock wall about four feet above the road, he stopped and was looking up at the sky facing South. This caught my attention and I looked at the same area. Within one to two seconds, a glowing, completely silent object appeared, it looked to be 500 feet or less above ground, moving quickly from South to North.

It was in view for approximately 10 seconds, and couldn't be seen, after going behind trees. It was kind of egg/ walnut shaped, yellow-whitish glow, moving about 200 mph, completely silent. I know most, if not all, man made aircraft, and this is not something common, nor known to be in use by any military. I am an aviation/history enthusiast. The shape was close to the craft in the movie, "Flight of the Navigator." It absolutely WAS NOT a meteor or anything from nature.

High Altitude object??????

I was outside on my deck smoking a cigarette and was looking up @ stars. Something I do on a nightly routine. I saw what appeared to be somewhat like a bright star object literally circling and stopping. This object stopped in place then moved a little then started flying circles, then would stop. I went in the house grabbed a flashlight with a green color bulb and flashed it off & on. The object stopped and stayed still. This thing must have been huge because it was like I said as bright as a star yet it was high altitude. I would say I thought I was crazy but my girlfriend was seeing what I was seeing at the same time. I have never in my 41 years seen any plane or even a drone be able to maneuver like this was. I can say this was amazing!

Three Golden or Deep Yellow Oval lights over Holden, Massachusetts

It was 10:45 pm on August 16, 2014 - a quite Saturday night. I had just let my dog in from going to do her business in the back yard. It was a mostly overcast and cool night outside. I was still outside and was enjoying a cigar.. I was standing on my back deck which faces eastward. It was dark outside and very quite.

A bright golden or deep yellow oval shape light went overhead traveling eastward (I know it is east because the sun rises from this same vantage point in the mornings into my kitchen).... I don't know how high the light was because of the spotty cloud cover but it was traveling slowly - maybe 20mph - 30mph ?...but made no sound and I mean NO SOUND at all.....I was thinking what the hell was that when the 2nd one went overhead in the exact path as the first....and perhaps 10 sec later a 3rd in the same line.....by now I was a little scared and was waiting to see if a forth light came but none did.... The oval lights (all three of them) were the size of a basket ball but without know how high up they were it doesn't really help I know.

I have never seen anything like this and was a little shaken by the sighting.

Characteristics: Lights on object

White lights, triangle shape, low altitude, slow speed. I have a military backround.

Driving home, as we approached our driveway we noticed what we thought was an aircraft flying over the property.

We quickly realized that this was not a plane or helicopter as it was flying at a very slow speed no more than 200-240' above the field.

The craft had three very intense bright lights in a triangle shape with three not so brights in between along the inside edge.

We quickly pulled into the driveway and hopped out and ran into the field just as it proceeded over the treeline.

The craft could not have been going faster than 40-60 MPH and made no noise whatsoever.

The craft was 25 yards in length at most.

5 red-orange Lights fading in and out from right to left horizontally

Standing outside my garage walking out, I saw, to the east/southeast a sequence of 5 orange-ish red lights. These lights were horizontal but slightly higher on the left. The lights appeared from right to left, fading in one at a time, then quickly faded out in the same fashion(also right to left). after the first time this happened, I yelled at my father to come look, he saw one of the 3 occurrences of the same thing happen. each time this occurred subsequently, the lights moved to the left(north).

After the third time, I stared in the area for about a half an hour, before giving up on seeing anything else.

When I had my sister bring my phone from inside the house out to me, the camera app would only show blue(which it has never done, and had worked prior the same evening)

Saw a greyish black stretched cube with rounded corners with bright white windows on it

UFO Sighting by my Cousin My cousin is a nine year old male. He lives in the northeast US. He claimed to have seen a UFO on two occasions near his home.

Incident #1 Date: Actual date isn’t exact though he remembers somewhere in mid January 2009.

Time of day: approximately 7PM Location: My cousin was out in the yard playing with his 2 dogs, a golden retriever and a chocolate lab. He claims that the dogs actually spotted (or heard? or sensed?) the UFO before he did which drew his attention to it. He spotted a UFO hovering just below the tree line that was shaped like a “stretched cube” (rectangular block shaped) – the trees were approx 80-90 ft tall (estimated). My cousin estimated that the UFO was about 1000 ft away from himself. The grayish-black (charcoal) colored UFO looked like a “square house with rounded corners with lighted square windows all around it on every side except for the top and bottom which had smaller round white lights”. The UFO then came above the tree line and started doing different flipping and turning movements. He said it didn’t look like or act like a plane or a helicopter or anything that we know of or make in the US. He described the pattern of bright white lights along the windows as going all solid and then flashing very quickly in an ordered sequence one after the other and then back to solid. The lights on the top also flashed in the same pattern. He claimed that after the craft went above the tree line that it was “watching him” and sort of “showing off” as it did its maneuvers. He estimated the size of the craft as approximately 30-40 feet long and about 10 ft high. He mentioned that it spun slowly 3 to 4 times on different axes (Y then X and then like a 45 (or 135) degree angled axis). He noted that after spinning on one axis that it would very quickly move linearly to another position and then spin slowly on a different axis. Both dogs were trying to get inside the house when the craft appeared. They were barking and yipping to get inside the house and didn’t appear comfortable around the UFO. This whole event lasted for about 3-4 minutes. He didn’t hear any sound at all though because his dogs were barking loudly so that pretty much dominated any audio. However he noted that he didn’t hear any loud jet-lane type noises.! He men tioned that while the UFO was in the tree line of pine trees that the branches were shaking and shuttering. He only watched for 4 minutes and then went inside because it was unnerving. And after inside the house he looked again quickly and it was gone. He told his parents who didn’t believe him which is why I am penning this for him (Uncle Age 43) Incident #2 Then about 1.5 months later he claimed to have seen it again in the same spot though only for about 30 seconds this time. The UFO appeared to execute the same maneuvers as described above in the first incident.

He drew some pictures that depict the UFO and how it turned axially and also the lights on the side.

My cousin gets good grades in school and isn’t lying about this.

Duration: 30 minutes
No of observers: 3

Location: Holden, LA, USA

Shape: Diamond
Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted beams, Changed Color, Aircraft nearby

Diamond shape with multiple colored lights spinning around it with no sound, strobe light reflections from the ground.

I was letting my dog out at around 2:30-2:45 a.m. She was the only dog out of 3 that was barking.

As I opened the door I saw what at first seemed like a helicopter with a strobe light on it with no sound. It was stationary for a few minutes and then it dropped what seemed about 50-100 feet in the air and then it went back up.

After watching it do that for about 2 minutes I ran to get my husband. When we both came back we saw red, blue, green, yellow and white lights that seemed to rotate around it at a very fast rate of speed and it was moving slowly over the newly cleared land across from us.

It seemed maybe 500 yards away and not far above the tree tops where the clearing ends.

We kept seeing a flash of light reflect from the ground and the trees every few seconds. It appeared that the craft was taking pictures of the ground.

My husband went and got my brother to come look at it also. He stayed for a few minutes and then left us, I guess he got spooked.

The craft was traveling very slow moving towards the south in a zig zag pattern. My husband said it looked like a fish swimming in the water. At one point a small light seemed to approach it and then it went dark, you could still see a silhouette of something there. It almost appeared that something went to look at it and then turned off its lights.

The craft eventually got so far away that we could hardly see it anymore. We left when it was just a dot of light miles away.

The sky was crystal clear. There was a meteor shower going on too, several meteorites or just space trash burning up in the atmosphere that was staying visible longer than what seemed normal.

The vehicle looked like a "flying car" with three large bright headlights flew slowly without sound and at tree top level.

At 2 AM I took my dog out. To the east I saw bright lights. I thought they were my neighbor's flood lights but realized they were too high. I thought it was the moon coming up but at 2 AM the moon would have been more to the west.

It looked like this vehicle was stopped about 1/4 mile down the hill at tree top level. As I watched, staying at tree top level, it slowly made it's way up the hill towards my house. I thought it was a helicopter but I did not hear any noise. The vehicle looked like a "flying car" with three huge bright white light headlights.

It was very close to my house and I was getting uneasy. I went up the stairs to wake my husband to see this flying vehicle. About one minute went by and when we went out to look again the vehicle was no where to be seen. At the speed it was traveling it should still have been in the area.



NUFORC Note:

We spoke with the witness, and we found her to be exceptionally eloquent, and seemingly quite credible. The case was forwarded to MUFON/Massachusetts, and is currently under investigation. Please see graphic illustration of the object on the NUFORC homepage. PD

HOLDEN -- The witnesses were leaving a New Years Party and were driving on Route 46 when they noticed two lights in the sky about a mile away that seemed stationary. The witness says, "I kept driving very slowly and trying to see them above the trees, and three miles down the road I spotted a large flying triangle coming toward us a couple hundred feet up." My girl friend saw it fly over our vehicle without any noise at all. It had green, pink, and yellow flashing lights and flew from east to west. I later talked to someone where I volunteer at the veterans clinic and her brother had seen it also. Since, then I have had some strange mental images and missing minutes.

((name deleted

I just read the brief below, and I though of you since the location is near you. Do you have any additional information on the case or the person who reported it?

No, and don't know how except the veteran's connection. Holden is where I had my ufo experience with the Pleiadians in 1988. One thing, on New Year's eve, it was snowing very badly, total 14 inches, just after that, so it had to be very overcast. However, pink could be red, white lights on planes can look yellow and that is an approach and takeoff zone from Bangor airport. Holden is southeast of
Bangor. The wind was from the southeast and the planes take off into the wind and attain speed before they rise into the storm clouds so I think it is a plane and the rest is bullshit, but you never know.

While inside this craft I noticed it was circle.

I was six years old, at my grandparents house, playing hide and seek with my cousins. We were in the back yard, fenced in area were my grandparents had kept their animals horses, donkey etc.

I decided to be sneaky and leave the pasture out the fenced area. I ran along side the fence towards the woods behind the barn. The next thing I know, I'm looking out a window above my grandparents house. I was looking down at my cousins playing, and my grandparents roof, it seemed that I was about a little higher then my grandpas highest tree. It happened so fast I really didn't have time to think about what was going on I turned around. And I seen a little boy sitting crosslegged with his hands on his face elbows on his legs looking like he was crying when he looked up at me.

Around this little boy was small, Gray, creatures and around them was tricycles, balls, just some kids toys. Immediately to the left of the boy was three gray bigger creatures the one in the middle was smaller than the two beside that one. I began in my head saying out loud that I want to go down there back down where I was. The next thing I know I'm running the opposite direction towards my grandparents house. I turned around and looked up and there was nothing there.

Shape: Light


After seeing your website featured in a television documentary tonight and visiting your site, I am giving my brief testimony in writing for the very first time since the event happened over 40 years ago.

July or Aug Evening in 1962-65/ Holden, MA / Light / 60 -120 seconds / White blinking light over Worcester, MA viewed from Holden, MA

I was going to bed in my home in Holden, Massachusetts during the summer, around July or August sometime between 1962-1965. My parents were already in bed and the lights in the house were out. I looked out our bathroom window and it was a very quiet summer evening with a clear night sky. As I looked east, I saw a blinking white light moving in the sky, like a small plane flying at a normal altitude. However, the light was blinking rapidly, unlike any small plane would have, and I remember that it was absolutely silent. It looked to be perhaps a mile or so away, and on a very still evening, I was surprised that there was no sound of an engine or plane or anything. It did not move erratically, but it also did not move as any other aircraft I had seen in that it seemed to have its own path and eventually disappeared in the direction it had come. Why this experience has remained in my mind all these years is that the next day, or perhaps even the day after that, I noticed in our newspaper, The Worcester Telegram, a very small article in one of the back pages, reporting that an object had been spotted, fitting the description and spotted around the same time period as I had witnessed what I did, and it was reported in the article as an "unidentified object" in the sky over "East Mountain Street" - which was the direction I was looking from our home on XX Brattle Street, Holden.
