NUFORC UFO Sighting 178002
Occurred: 2022-04-28 22:00 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2023-09-02 17:06 Pacific
Duration: minute and a half?
No of observers: 1

Location: Zachary, LA, USA
Location details: above my back yard and the neighbor's driveway.

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Made a sound

A flying object that looked like a yellow moon, flew overhead that had a whirling sound.

Don't recall the exact day, but it was at the end of April in 2022, around 10pm, and I had let my dogs out to pee in the back yard. There's a group of large trees across the yard, on the other side of the fence, and a noise that sounded like a bunch of birds chirping suddenly came from those trees. But then the noise started to shift, going in a NE direction from my POV, and it got louder and it hovered over the fence between my yard and my neighbor's driveway. And then the sound of birds shifted into a whirling sound, and then this object that looked like a yellow, glowing super moon (from our perspective on how we see the moon), that had solar flares in it, about 50 to 80 feet above, with a solid white glowing ring around it, moved very quickly overhead and disappeared.

As my husband prepared for work and was leaving, he called my name with a sense of urgency! I rushed outside and was amazed at what I saw. Looking to the east, I immediately saw 5 round shape reddish-orange objects in the sky, and they kept coming one after the other, totalling around 13. They were at a steady speed as they moved from the east to the west disappearing midway! With mix emotions from being excited to afraid I didn't record the beginning but the end. I ran back in the house to get my phone and frantically called my kids to witness this event!

5 Perfectly Sequential Yellowish Flashing Lights in a Large Triangle with Loud Rumbling Sound Moving in Unison to Northwest in Baton Ro

I was on my front porch looking at my phone when I suddenly hear a low rumbling noise that began to slowly get louder. At first being near Baton Rouge with our chemical plants, I thought the noise was the plant kicking up their flame stacks to burn more chemicals. Sometimes at night they do this and you can hear it for about 30 minutes to an hour. I walked out to get a better idea of which direction it was coming from and immediately noticed a group of flashing lights in the sky. I knew this couldn't be airplanes flashing in the distance because of first off the lights were in a triangle shape and they were all the same distance from me. Also the lights were flashing in ssequential order from left to right in perfect timing. I watched as the sound got louder and then noticed they were all moving together towards northwest from original location I spotted it in. The lights lead me to believe instead of 5 different objects, this was one very large object. As! large as my town half of my town of Zachary Louisiana. Roughly 4 miles across. As it moved away I ran and woke my mother to have a second witness. My mom does not believe in UFOs and she was also convinced it was one large triangle. As it got further away the rumbling stopped and also the front light became solid and stayed on until no lights were visible. I would LOVE to know if anything was reported on Radar being I live near Baton Rouge airport. This also means I am used to flashing lights from planes and also study passing satellites and orbiting rocket bodies using a sky monitoring app for satellites in the sky. Lots of cloud cover tonight but clouds were very high. I did not see any single planes tonight though. These were the only lights. I always see strange objects because I watch the skys. I have seen more than one anomalies in the same direction from my front yard. But this was the first ever hearing anything and first triangle craft or at least formation.

4 low hovering changing lights in the sky

We saw 2 pair of bright lights flying low in the sky... the airport is not far away but these craft were lower than any plane or copter we're used to seeing.

The first pair was a set of red lights closely spaced together, the left one a little higher than the right one, they were close together than they flew west about 500 ft. We followed them with the car and stopped in front of them and took video footage. They hovered then made their way back east and disappeared from sight...

2 more came from the west these did go back and forth (west to east and back) like the first 2 these just followed the same path as the previous two. Each one changed colors from red to white to yellow.

On September 2, 2009, my wife and I were sitting out on the back patio as we do every night. It was around 9:30 pm, a little later than our usual time. The moon was almost full and very bright, the skies were perfectly clear and very low humidity for us here in Louisiana. Jupiter was bright and almost parallel at the time we were looking up.

We were about to give up and go inside when I caught a glimpse of something that I first thought was a shooting star. I quickly pointed at it and told the wife to look before it faded away. But, it did not fade away. I then though it was one of the plentiful White Cranes we have here in Louisiana, but I quickly realized it was not flapping any wings.

My wife and I started asking each other what is that? The object appeared to be a large wing shape and white, and had sort of a faint glow as if light was reflecting off of it. It was moving at a very fast speed, coming from the east headed directly west. It did not very the speed, or waiver off of its direct course. We were able to view it until it just faded in the west sky. We were both stunned at what we just saw.

We love to star gaze and watch for meteors and satellites, and I'm an avid NASA site watcher and I always know when the ISS or Shuttle are in viewing range, and we watch it every chance we have. But this was so different.

As we stood there reflecting on what just happened, we started re-playing it out loud to each other, trying to make a logical explanation of what it could have been, either a plan, a bird, whatever, but we were completely puzzled and amazed..

Here are some details that we recalled and discussed that really made this sighting even more mysterious to us. When it first appeared over the house it was already visible. The moon was very bright so if it was a low flying object it would not have been reflecting the moon light from the bottom, which made it appear to be glowing from within itself. It was not a bird because the wings never moved, it was moving very fast (faster moving than the ISS sightings) and it never fluttered or altered from its direct line of flight. It made absolutely no sound. There were no white, red, green, or blinking lights on it. We live in the flight pattern to the airport just 10 miles away, so we are very familiar with what aircraft looks like on its approach. When it faded from view, it was some where around 10 to 15 degrees above the horizon in the west sky, and I know from my many years of keeping up with the ISS, it would never be moving from east to west. Also, if it would have been a ! low flying object, it would have disappeared due to obstructions such as houses in the neighbor hood or the trees in the woods just west of us.

So, since after nearly 50 years of looking at the skies, and since this was the first time I ever saw anything I could not apply logic to, I felt I needed to write this down, share it, and hope to find out if anyone else saw it, or anything similar to it. I would love it if someone could explain what it was.
