Cigar shaped chiseled front and satellite-looking UFO.

We have never seen anything like it. No sound no contrails. It may have been a satellite but I've never seen anything like it. It was very bright but the sun was setting so it may have been a reflection off the satellite.

I have never seen a satellite like this.

It was cigar shaped with the chiseled front end. It traversed the sky in a matter of seconds.

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted beams, Changed Colo

Telephoned Report:

An experienced truck driver, who had extensive military experience, witnessed a very bright, almost blinding, white light in the morning sky. At first, he reported, it looked like an illuminated body, but a moment later, it appeared to him to be a shaft of light.

The object then faded, at which time he could make out a red light in the dark sky, at which time the object then shot off rapidly into the night.

The sighting occurred very close to Mile Marker 80 on Interstate 20. The driver was driving west.

The witness will submit a detailed report, when he returns to his home from his over-the-road trucking job.

Large group of flashing lights moving very slow

While leaving my girlfriend's apartment in Ruston, LA, I glanced back as I was unlocking my truck to see between 50 and 100 flashing lights that appeared to be flying well under the normal altitude of an aircraft. I immediately ran back inside to get her and her brother to come see what i was looking at, because I couldnt believe my eyes. Immediately after they walked outside and looked up, they too were astonished at the site. The lights were moving in unisome, but sort of changed shapes to make these different amoebic forms as it went across the night sky in a Northwest direction. I'm very much a pessimist and non-believer in the extra-terrestrial, but after tonight, I have no idea what to think.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 78639
Occurred: 2010-10-30 07:00 Local
Reported: 2010-10-30 07:57 Pacific
Duration: 1.5 hours
No of observers: 1

Location: Ruston, LA, USA

Shape: Teardrop
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Left a trail, Aircraft nearby

Possible solid object surrounded by teardrop-shaped streak seen in morning sky.

Driving to work around 7:30, I saw a jet streak in the western sky. It appeared as jet streaks usually do, moving in a straight, more or less horizontal path and dissipating slowly. However, near it to the bottom left, I also noticed a teardrop shaped "streak" that did not seem to be moving and was pointed downwards. I could only faintly make out a solid object at the base of the teardrop, as if it were leaving a tail behind it. I thought this was strange, since it wasn't really moving. (And even later, when it did move, it did not move downard, as the position of the "tail" would have suggested.) I made a note of it at that point but was in a hurry, so I had to stop watching.

Around 9:00, after running some errands and returning to work again, I noticed the teardrop-shaped "object" again. As I was driving towards it at the time, it was difficult to tell if and how quickly it was moving. However, it seemed to be slowly drifting west. It appeared larger (perhaps closer?) than before and slightly further north.

I parked my car behind the building that I work in and came back around to the main road to get a better look, as there were trees, power lines and other buildings blocking my view. The process of parking and walking around could not have taken more than 45 seconds.

When I came back to the main road, though, the object was much smaller (farther away?) and much farther south in the sky. At this point it was obviously drifting southwest steadily but not particularly quickly. I attempted to record it on my phone but the sun was too bright for the object to show up.

I went inside my place of work and described to my employees what I had seen. I was inside for about 5 minutes before walking back out to check if the object was still visible. It had disappeared from view.

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

Red And Blue Lights were on it, slow moving with a white light between the red and bue lights.

The Object was a light. I got focused my teloscope on it and saw that it had lights blinking on it, a red light on top and a blue light on bottom, at first I thought it was a plane but I observed it for about 3 Hours! So I knew then that it wasnt a plane. It was slowy moving to the east and getting farther way, My Dad, Mom, sister and my sisiters boyfriends also saw it. I was the only one to look through the teloscope at it, the lights didnt really blink, they rotated, like a airport light does.



NUFORC Note:

We suspect the witness means 8:00 p.m., and we have changed the time here. We suspect they may have been witnessing a celestial object, but that is only a guess. PD

NUFORC UFO Sighting 174173
Occurred: 1985-06-13 21:00 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2023-01-28 22:26 Pacific
Duration: 5-10 seconds
No of observers: 2

Location: Ruston, LA, USA
Location details: 10 miles north of Ruston, LA, off Hwy 33 on Hwy 822 East.

Shape: Sphere
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Left a trail

In 1985 I saw a huge sphere shaped flying object.

The summer between my 5th and 6th grade year, my friend and I, saw something. We would’ve been around 11 years old and the year was 1985.
We were outside in my front yard. I lived WAY out in the country in North Central Louisiana. We were sitting on the ground just talking and drawing in the cool sand that we had in our yard between the concrete driveway and grass. We both felt the air around us change. I felt this pressure in my ears and on my skin. We also heard a very low but powerful “hummmm” sound.
We both looked up and there was this HUGE round shaped object hovering above us. There’s a basketball area on Louisiana Tech Campus, I felt like it was that big or larger. Not directly above us but very close and right by a huge pine tree we had in our yard. In Louisiana pine trees can get really tall and the trunks can get very wide. This “unidentifiable flying object” was hovering right beside the top of this pine tree (which was probably 2 1/2 - 3stories tall). It dwarfed the pine. It was completely round, and had circles of white lights around the middle and one large white light at the bottom. (I remember one of my first thought, being a child of the 80’s was, “oh, how disappointing, the lights are just white and not color”).
Anyway, it hovered there for probably just 5-10 seconds and then it just LEFT the atmosphere, super fast. I grew up near Barksdake AFB, and England AFB, and have seen planes flying my whole life. It did NOT fly away. It zoomed strait out of the atmosphere at a vertical angle, at a speed I have never seen before, and got smaller and smaller as it left until we couldn’t see it anymore (and I swear it made a small “pop” sound when it left the atmosphere) leaving a white light streak behind it. Just like light speed in Star Trek and Star Wars.
I got in touch with my childhood friend, who was with me on Facebook a few years ago and we talked about it. We both remember it exactly like this. It is seared into our memories.
I can’t explain it, but I saw it.
