7-10 orange lights heading north, followed by huge flying saucer, bottom illuminated by city lights. Followed by 7-10 military choppers

Two witnesses described numerous (7-10) orange-type lights in a cone-like formation formation in the sky coming from the south heading north toward Oak Grove. The dogs were acting crazy at this time. About 3-5 minutes later one of the witnesses looked straight up and noticed what he called a "flying saucer". The main witness then scrambled to get a cell-phone shot of the craft and got only about 4 seconds of video. The object was perfectly round with the center (about half the mass) black or dark gray. with its outside being silver gray and middle almost black, described as a flying saucer. Apparently the outside of this object was being illuminated by the city lights as the saucer was not lit. Witnesses described a smell of burning wiring. After the saucer-like ship flew past, military choppers were everywhere in the sky. Witness has actual video of one of the choppers chasing one of these lights. Within a 5-minute time-frame the witnesses saw 3-4 lights or orbs which went in the same direction, disappeared, then reappeaed and headed in a different direction from east to west. Within 7-10 minutes they began to hear and see 7-10 military choppers flying around in an apparent search pattern, then finally right over his house..The entire episode lasted approximately 30 minutes.

A bright yellow light formed above the tree line and shot straight up and disappeared.

A bright Yellow light the size of a Semi-Truck's Headlight's that're on Bright formed above the tree line and shot straight up after 2 seconds of being seen and straight up disappeared. We stopped to look but there was no noise, no nothing. The light was just a yellow ball, and we would've heard it if it was a airplane or anything cause we had the windows down driving 20 MPH. Also usually crickets and other insects are chirping through out the night on that road, but there was literally nothing, not even the deer that patrol that road were out.

Very bright white light in southwest sky over metro area, appeared to be round with light around it

We were out enjoying the birds and the river early this morning and saw a very bright white light in the sky to the southeast. After grabbing the binoculars we were able to see that it appeared to be a round or oval shape which had lights around it. I did take several pictures and when you enlarge them you can see a faint light in the sky.

It did not move during the 45 minutes to one hour, we observed it and was still there when we left to come in. We have not seen that light before today.




NUFORC Note:

Possibly a star or Venus?? PD

Bright orangish red spherical object moving from SE to NW of Oak Grove, Mo.

On July 15, 2015, my son and I saw a spherical looking object traveling from south east to north west direction. The object looked like a shooting star at first coming down then it changed color to orangish red in color and did a erratic bounching movement.

I caught it on my tablet before it went out of sight, heading towards Grain Valley, Missouri, and disappeared from sight.

blinding shiny arrow shaped super fast aircraft.

My children and I were outside playing when my son looked up and seen this arrow shaped shiny silver aircraft traveling super fast through the sky.

He called to us to look and this aircraft was traveling at such a high speed I never seen before, the strange thing is it didn't even leave a vapor trail.

Pulsing object covering great distance in approx. 4 seconds.

This event occurred at approx. 10:30 pm on the evening of the 4th.

My wife and I stepped outside the cabin for a cigarette. We were observing a very clear night sky. We saw a few aircraft flying over as evident by the flashing lights on them. Just above the tree line we both noticed a pulsing light. We both yelled at the same time, “You see that!” The light pulsed a brilliant white as it.for lack of a better word….zipped, raced, moved EXTREMELY fast across the sky. The object was moving so fast it left a light trail behind it each time it pulsed this brilliant white.

I began to explain that it could not have been a satellite as they move relatively slow across the sky, and one just happened over that I pointed out to her.

Given the 180 degrees from horizon to horizon I extrapolated that the object covered approx. 110 degrees, in our sight line, in 4 seconds. Each pulse of light seemed to be about a second apart as well.

We have NEVER seen anything we could not explain away. This dumfounded us both! Needless to say, we had a very difficult time sleeping that night after what we saw.

I took a photograph of the tree line and the area of visibility between the clear area of observation. I will try to include the photo with some drawn lines on it to show a representation of what we saw. The object was not directly over the trees. I tried to recall my days of being a meteorologist for the Navy in judging distance and altitude. Not really certain about distance from us. but to wager a guess..heck, I don’t know. It was distant…could have been 5 mi, could have been 8?? The altitude…again, not certain, perhaps 1000-1500ft.

Oh, we were in Oak Grove, NC on vacation, just 10 or so miles N of Franklin, NC.

Location: Oak Grove, KY, USA

Shape: Changing
Characteristics: Lights on object

From interstate highway, we saw an aircraft with 6 or 7 white lights changed shape and direction quickly.

My daughter and I saw a suspicious aircraft while driving along I-24 west near Oak Grove, KY around 8:15 PM Tuesday, August 27th. It was very large and moving at great speed. It seemed to loop around quickly to change directions, then accelerated at a sharp angle as if trying to land quickly. It disappeared. The area in which it seemed to go down was too far from Fort Campbell to be near that airfield.

It had a V shape of bright white lights that seemed to be in a straight line sometimes depending on the angle. At first I could only see the three lights at the outside angles forming a triangle. I only saw white lights, no color. The lights were equally spaced apart at least 6 or 7 in number. I did not hear any sound of a helicopter or plane. I’m guessing the distance to be less than a football field away from my car.

There were plenty of vehicles on the interstate including truck drivers. No one even slowed down. My daughter and I saw it simultaneously. It seemed obvious that it wasn’t an ordinary airplane. I wonder if it is some fancy military craft. Why would they fly it so low over civilian areas when there is miles and miles of government land at Fort Campbell?

I was standing with my sister in her driveway when we saw what looked like an airplane with its landing lights on comming towards us from the east. The light was moving at medium speed and at a lower level than other planes that fly over her house. Her house is not near any airports so it was unusual to see a light this low in the sky. As the light drew nearer we did not hear any engine sounds nor did we see any other lights (like the blinking navigation lights on planes). As the light passed over our heads we still could not hear any engine noise or see any outline of a plane. As the light moved away it didnot dim as you would expect if the lights were on the front of a plane that is now heading away from you. I live in Omaha,NE and have seen a lot of planes with their landing lights on comming in for a landing at Epply Airfield and you can always hear the engine and see the plane as it passes over you . The sky was clear with no wind so we should have been able to hear it and see the body if this had been a plane.

While traveling from KC to Columbia, a bright object shot descended fast towards car, nearly hitting us and shot off out of sight

I had been in Phoenix visiting family. My mom picked me up at airport. She let me drive leaving KC to Columbia to stay at relatives. At around 4:30 while traveling outside KC, I noticed a very bright steaking object out of the corner of my eye. I was probably going @60mph (speed limit was 55 at that time). As it traveled I noticed it appeared to get arc/loop and I noticed it heading towards the car over !-70. I started to brake but didn't skid. I might have slowed to 40mph or less. At its closest it was maybe 100-200 feet away, about 20 ft directly over the highway. At its closest time seemed to stand still. I noticed it shudder, like it was vibrating, shaking a little slow and then shot off out of sight in 2 seconds it was out of sight. I noticed a lot of vehicles pull off road, slow down, etc. My mom and I didn't say a word until 10-15 minutes later. I said - "Did you see that" She said, "I thought it was going to hit the car". I said, "Me too". Then we didn't talk for another 10 to 20 minutes. It was surreal. Eventually we started chatting. I said I regretted not pulling off the road. We talked about all the witnesses and how we thought it was going to hit us. We talked about how time slowed down and it did too, when at its closest and it vibrated. It was so fast when it shot off. We told my Aunt about it (her sister) who didn't seem convinced. I told a lot of people at high school a day or two later. In college (3 years later) I did a speech on it complete with drawings which I will try to find and edit that as needed. My Speech professor (NE Missouri St) gave me an A, said she believed me. She told me her son-in-law was an air force engineer and he had worked on one trying to reverse engineer it for the government. She said she was told it worked on some sort of electro gravity principle.

My girlfriend and I were having a romantic evening in the front seat of my car one evening.

I looked across a field that lay in front of us and saw what I thought at the time was a helicopter about a mile away moving back and forth. I mentioned this to my girlfriend and we watched it for a couple of minutes. It descended on the other side of the field and we forgot it as we were preoccupied. Later I noticed that the object had reappeared and was moving erractically across the horizon. I noticed that it was getting progressively closer and finally realized that it was heading directly toward my car across the field.

What I remember was two lights blinking alternately. One was red and the other green as I remember. About half way across the field it stopped. I knew it was close to the ground for I could see the reflexion of the light on the ground.

By now we were both interested and did not know what to make of it. It continued across the field directly towards us. When it had gotten to a point very close to us, I think I panicked.

I was parked in a position just across a narrow bridge with no backup light that would make it difficult for me to back up. I made the decision to crank up and drive toward the object instead. When I turned on my headlights it stopped and the green light became a bright white.

I continued (without applying too much accelerator) down the road that would lead me directly under the object. I was as scared as I have ever been in my life as we came closer to it.

I asked my girlfriend to move to the other side of the car and see if she could see anything. She did and came back across the seat screaming that all she heard was a whirring sound.

I continued slowly down the road expecting the worst. When I had gotten far enough along that I could see it in my rearview mirror, I stopped and got out to look. At this time it took off with more speed than anything we have today. It was a streak of light. It was seen going over the town of Oak Grove that night by friends of mine.

There were many sightings of it during that time.

I saw my ex-girlfriend many years later and brought up this event to her. At first she had no recollection of it at all. She finally said that she thought she remembered something about it.

It was a real occurence and I have often wondered how she could have possibly forgotten something like that. She and I went back out many times trying to see it again.

Oh well.
