Clearly witnessed a tear shaped ufo over our airbase

Me and my coworker are ground traffic controllers for a local heliport. During our work my coworker grabbed my attention and said what is that? I immediately thought it must be balloons based on how it was moving but then I noticed it began to move erratically and that it had bright red blinking lights on the “undercarriage” So I grabbed my binoculars and what I saw was not a balloon. I had a perfectly crystal clear view of an angular (sharp edged), tear drop shaped flying object. The size was close to, or slightly larger to an AW139 helicopter. It hovered at around 800-900 feet in the air. It had a tail, and a flat area under the tail which held bright, large and very vibrant, red blinking lights (2-3) on the wider area of the craft, the lights were vertical of each other and centered. The undercarriage appeared to be a darker navy blue color and the overall color was of a faded coral. The vehicle had panel lines but had no wings or propellers, and no visible windows that I could spot. Once it gained control of itself, it began to pick up speed and left us moving in a straight line south west of our airfield. I have 12 years experience working around helicopters and airplanes and this was not a helicopter or any other flying object I’ve seen in my experience here. Our local ATC identified it as a UFO but he wouldn’t elaborate only saying it appeared to him as a gaggle of balloons.

Orange steady light

This description was given to me by someone I know. They have a video.

Standing facing south in front of their home, approximately 200 ft from highway at 12:13--shortly after midnight, a strange steady orange light was observed south south west approximately a mile from home. It was a clear night, no clouds were observed and very quiet. No traffic passing on road and no wildlife sound.

The witness observed the light for about 5 minutes. The light appeared to hover over buildings located in that area. It appeared to be un-moving. In the video, the light appeared to be a large object. How large was difficult to ascertain. The light can be seen above the tree line and was a steady non-blinking light.

At one point, the witness pointed a high powered blinking flashlight in the direction of the object due being unsure what the light was. The witness was able to see some reflection of a dark shape around the light.

Right after shining the flashlight at the object, all electricity went out in the neighborhood. This scared the witness who ran inside the home to check on the people inside. All were ok. The electricity came back on, so the witness went back outside and noted that the strange light was gone and an alarm was sounding from the building the light had been hovering over.

At this point, the sounds of wildlife returned...frogs, circadas, and coyotes. Approximately an hour later, the witness noted the same orange light North of him and much further away. The light appeared to be moving slowly away from the witness's location and then disappeared.

The witness spoke to the people who worked in the building the next morning to see if maybe there was a break-in the night before. They agreed that the alarm had gone off, but there was no sign of a break-in.

Also spoke to a neighbor who also noted the electricity had gone off for a few seconds the night before.

Numerous red lights in sky over Houma.

I noticed 4 of these red lights in the sky while driving. When I looked to my left there were around 7 to 8 more. They were moving from East to West. They were strung out over a large area, and seemed to be pretty low in altitude. Some looked like they were hovering, but some were clearly moving in a stop and go characteristic. Pretty fast too. They weren't flying in any specific formation, just spread out all over.

I saw an flickering orange-red sphere in the sky moving in different directions.

I saw an orange-red colored sphere in the sky. It resembled the flickering of a candle. It was not a plane or helicopter. If I had to guess it looked like it was a couple hundred feet in the air by judging how fast we were driving. I didnt see an object, it was only light. It moved back and forth in many directions. It was completely silent.

I have watched the skies for years and have never seen anything like this before. We watched it for about 3 minutes.

I pulled over and then it made a fading pulse for about 2 seconds and then completely disappeared.

Very flat vehicle with flashing, white lights on the side.

I drove onto Savanne Road, inside Houma, Louisiana on Saturday, February 3rd at approximately 5 o' clock, seventeen hundred hours, headed toward Martin Luther King Blvd.

While driving, I was on speaker phone, along with someone in the back seat, and passenger seat. I was the only person to see the object, as I voiced it as I saw it fly south, as I was driving east (used google maps to see which direction we were facing.) It zipped fast through the sky as I noticed it. Something alerted me to look ahead. I was traveling fast, but slow enough for me to see it. It was a very flat shaped object with bright, flashing lights located on the side of the vehicle. The flashes were what I noticed, and it got my attention. I think I saw a red, or pinkish light in some place too. The area surrounding Savanne Road is nothing but swamp area. I even saw on Google Maps that the direction the vehicle flew would be swamps for a good, long time, and distance. The vehicle seems to be the same type as seen with the Chinese airport ufo that shut it down for days, and the saint louis cathedral ufo inside new orleans, la. It was skinny the same way, slick, and had lights on the side.

Fireball racing to earth.

It was 10pm-10.45, sitting on my patio. I saw what looked like a motor shell(comet) racing to earth. It had a tail about 2 ft. I was a good football field and a half away from this. It came straight down ,slight angle. made little noise, but appear it was gonna hit land. There are trees there that look to be 80ft or taller. This thing, the tail got shorter, looked like the middle was circular, I could see it was burning out. And then it flared out and disappeared. It vanished at about one-half the height, higher than the trees. I believe something is in the field. This thing came close to landing on my apartment. There was a solar flare like the day before, and I heard satelites were knocked from their orbits. Could it be a piece of a satelite? All I know, it feels like a once in a lifetime event.

walking home i saw a gray saucer in the sky!!!!!!

i was twelve years old. i was coming home from school which was down my street. i looked up at my neighbors house and between the roof and the tree i saw a gray saucer. i remember it like it was yesterday. it had a dome top and dome bottom and completely gray. i stood there for what seemed like eternity and watched it pass from the branch to the back of the house. after it passed, i ran inside to grap a camera, and my mom said where have you been? i told her i was outside and she said she had been calling my name for half an hour, but i never heard her. it was complete silence. after 18 years, i still can remember the cars on the street, the colors of the houses, and the sounds of the neighborhood. i never told anyone till now because my sister was military intelligence in the army. but sitting here at the age of 30 i know what i saw!

Saw a large sphere above the cloud bank, then four smaller came to it wherein the objects accelerated to the cloud bank in formation

My siblings and I were watching a movie on a Saturday afternoon when my Dad, who was cleaning our pool, came into the Den and tried to get us to come outside to see UFOs. I was the only that went. As I stepped onto the pool decking I could see a spherical object, stationary in the sky. The sky was a bright blue that day with a cloud bank all around the horizon. The object was large enough that it looked black around the edges and highly reflective in the center. I realized that this was due to the extent of its’ “shine.” I noticed 4 smaller spheres (did not appear to be shiny but I assumed that was due to their smaller size.) I had the impression the main sphere was huge. All four came in at the same speed from 4 equal distances and stopped at the same distance from the main sphere. They all accelerated together and were gone in about 2 seconds behind the cloud bank. I have never reported this because I didn’t want to be labeled a “nut.” My Dad saw similar but just the large sphere. He had stayed inside trying to convince my Mom what he saw. I was 17 yrs old. I can still see this clearly in my mind.
