I was out FaceTiming my gf, when I saw a spinning triangle in the sky with three lights. A small beam of light shot out

I was outside around 8:02 on FaceTime, trying to see if I can spot any UFO’s or USO’s. A large layer triangle spinning above me. A quick beam of light shot out but quickly deteriorated into light fragments before quickly evaporating.

I was out stargazing and looking for any UFO’s I didn’t expect to actually see one. Three circles in the sky defying gravity and physic

Two disks flying next to each other before stopping completely and drawing a square in the sky. The UFOs vanished before a third one, much much smaller than the other two started quickly spinning in a spiral. I could actually hear it as a dull ringing and air cutting sound.

It looked like a ying yang symbol or a sideways 69 as my wife pointed out. It looked like a torus in shape with a hole in the center.

With the naked eye it looked like a torus (donut shaped) and beautifully metallic. When I looked at it with the binoculars and telescope it looked like a ying yang symbol or a side ways 69. The symbol on the craft appear to be illuminated by its own means and not from the suns reflection. The design was plasma white in color.

Two white lights converge on location, seem to be connected by invisible object, was elongated for a few short seconds, then dissapears

Walking to the store i thought i heard a helicopter, the sound disapated approximetly 10 seconds later, I look up into the sky to see two white lights, they appeared to be coneccted together, the first was flying extremely fast it then came to a sudden stop, the second 1 soon followed.

It was as if it was a single ship coming out of what appeared to be somekind of warpdrive? the space between the two objects seemed as if it was emitting somekind of invisiblity cloak.

The lights soon converged into one location in the sky then almost instantly flew away.

Line of lights

West of Highway 69/75 were 4 orange colored lights in a line running east to west. The first 3 looked to be at the same height, and the 4th (furthest west) was at a lower altitude. I do not now the altitude, but they were much higher than any surrouding structure or power line. The lights did not move, or fade as I watched them. After about 30 seconds, the 1st light (farthest East) disappeared suddenly, within a few seconds the 2nd light disappeared, then the 3rd, and finally the 4th. There is nothing of that height in the area above the business Davis Fleet Parts, which is on the access road (Westside Drive) along 69/75. I have not seen them since.

Videotaped 20+ silent orange orbs traveling solo & in groups; not airplanes or fireworks

Observer #1 – female, age 40 There were five people in our group – two adults with doctoral degrees, one 15-year-old, and two children, ages 5 and 3. We were viewing fireworks in a parking lot in the center of Durant, OK, on University St. and 19th Avenue. I was facing southwest along with my family when my husband saw the first orb of the evening. This was the one that came closest to us. (The weather was warm, sky was clear and there were no clouds in the sky whatsoever. When it got darker, around 9:00-10:30pm, we were able to see many constellations from the center of town). Close to dusk, approximately 8:40pm on July 4, 2012, we saw a bright orange orb-like object smoothly move across the sky from the south to the north. The object slowly passed over us and with the contrast of the darker and lighter sky with the sunset, I saw what looked like a larger, dark portion on top of the orange circular light. It traveled overhead for about one minute before completely disappearing and suddenly toward the! north/northwest. However, as it traveled, the light flickered inconsistently, like a candle. It did not blink as an airplane or water tower light blinks, rhythmically.

Unfortunately, we had not yet set up our video camera and tripod to catch this object. We had seen similar objects the past three years on the 4th of July, so we decided to try and videotape this year. As a result, we taped almost 30 minutes of footage of various orbs coming and going from 8:45pm-10:20pm. While the camera is older and the footage is often shaky, the moon, buildings, fireworks, trees, and other structures can be seen. Our five-year-old daughter also spotted some of the orbs. Most of the orbs seemed to be about the size of an aspirin or somewhat smaller from the distance we were located. Some seemed further than others, but one thing was very clear – they were NOT fireworks, flares, or airplanes. There is a small regional airport on the southeast side of town, however, I don’t think most private planes take off as quickly or in groups as these orbs did. And, all of the orbs were identical in size, color, and flight pattern. The only difference was the speed, some traveled a little more slowly than others but all headed from south to north/northeast or northwest.

Shortly after our first sighting, we began to see one orange orb after another, sometimes two or four at a time, pass from lower in the horizon from south heading north/northwest and completely disappearing after 30 seconds to one minute. They did not travel like an airplane would but rather seemed to be traveling much faster and in a linear fashion. When more than one orb appeared at a time, they looked as if they were in a formation or following one another. They all were light orange in color and flickered.

I was primarily facing southeast since most of the orbs seemed to originate from that destination just over the horizon. Later in the evening, closer to 10pm, the orbs were further to the west of town but still originating from the south. This also seemed to coincide with the firework activity. Again, the orbs can be seen on the video, and they clearly are higher and further away than the fireworks.

Observer #2 – male, age 15 I saw from about 20 to 30 glowing orange lights most of them flying in the same direction I don’t know how often they came but it was mostly after a bunch of fireworks went off. They started at about 9 and they began to slow down as people stopped to do fireworks they seemed to be about the same size but some looked a lot closer than others; some also seemed to move faster or be brighter. The first object that I saw looked the nearest. The sun was still up but barely, you could see a dark irregularly shaped thing on top. It seemed to have some kind of hook around the light and looked like it was holding the light, the rest of the objects did not have this.

The other orbs would be there for about thirty seconds then at some point disappear with no trail behind it. Some looked red but would than turn orange but would become orange. They would also slowly ascend at different rates. There would also be multiple lights at the same time. They didn’t touch each other and I couldn’t tell if there was a shape to connect them. The first object I saw came from the south of town but the majority came from the southeast. All of them looked to be going north, northeast but all coming from the south. They didn’t blink or dim at all. They were bright orange lights that would last longer than any of the fireworks and move in a small diagonal path ascending but slowly. I couldn’t tell how fast they were moving or the exact distance they were. The most I saw at one time was four and that’s when fireworks were the most active. They were all silent. No sound could be heard but the highway and fireworks.

Observer #3 – male, age 42 Date: July 4, 2012: I was present at the location of the sightings primarily observing my two young children during the experience. I was also lighting some small fireworks for my kids. The first sighting this year was confusing to me because I could see it even though it was still rather light on the western horizon (we arrived early before people started lighting most of their luminescent fireworks). It was an ovular object that was black in contrast to the sky with an orange light on approximately the bottom quarter. It appeared very low on the horizon and I found it bizarre because it was so visible. I had seen the orange colored orbs on the two preceding 4th of July holidays; but, I had never seen the unlit black portion above the orange light. It floated across the sky, from south to north, without making a noise. I asked my wife and 15-year-old stepson what it was. We were all baffled because it was so, well, blatant. I tried to set up the camera in time to capture it! , but was unsuccessful. I wasn’t set up for recording because it was still early in the evening. Our camera was set on autofocus (because I hadn’t read online recording guidelines prior to our first attempts at recording these objects), so I was unable to capture it on film before it traversed the full length of the horizon out of view.

After this, my focus was primarily on my children. We were in an empty parking lot in our rural town; but, I am very careful in keeping an eye on my children, especially with all of the fireworks that were being ignited around us. Durant, Oklahoma, has a city ordinance that allows the lighting of fireworks within city limits only on July 4th of each year. So, people really light a lot of fireworks in our town on this evening.

That being said, since I have seen the orange orbs glide across the horizon for three consecutive years now, I was always looking around me to see if there were other orbs intermingled with the fireworks exploding all around us. I saw many. Some were very distant; others were much closer and clearer. My wife took over with the camera, and she and my stepson tried to capture as many of the orbs as possible on the 30 minute minidisc we had in our standard definition camera. I saw approximately 20 of these orbs myself. Most were on the eastern side of Durant city limits traveling south to north/northeast. A few appeared on the western side of town and seemed traveled south to north/northwest. The ones that were closest captured my attention the most. They appeared to be orange with a hint of red in them. The close ones also seemed to have a sort of halo or light haze around them that could not be captured by our outdated video camera.

The orbs seemed to be traveling solo, however, there were times when more than one was in view. Also, when viewed in the northern sky after they passed, I could sometimes see three to five at once before they disappeared out of view.

A few constants I wish to provide with regard to these sightings: The orbs were all very similar in color and shape and did not waiver on the vertical plane. Closer orbs traveled at a quicker pace than more distant orbs; but, they may have all been traveling at the same speed due to their relative distance. None of the orbs made any noise as they traveled, although the fireworks being discharged in their peripheral were making plenty of noise, which may have concealed noise if I take all possibilities into consideration. The frequency of their appearance seemed to coincide with the number of fireworks that were being discharged into the sky, which I personally interpreted as providing concealment or a form of camouflage for the objects. When we packed up to leave, there were very few fireworks still being discharged. There were also very few orbs in visible in the sky by the time we left correlating with this decrease.

I am an educated man. I have attended 10 years of college and am, quite honestly, a skeptic. I seek data and quantitative evidence before I believe any hypotheses or theories regarding any phenomena (my motto is “show me your data”). I am not by any stretch of the definition a conspiracy theorist, but rather a diligent and responsible observer of the world around me. I have tried to make sense of these sightings over the past three years using what I have learned in my education concerning astronomy and the other physical sciences. I have clearly ruled out these orbs as being airplanes as these objects did not have the typical light patterns, sounds, or smoke trails of private or passenger airliners. My best personal (and humble) hypothesis as to their purpose (which goes beyond describing the tangible evidence before me) is that they are mapping the land as cartographers of sorts or perhaps scanning for minerals beneath the earth. But, that goes beyond the purpose of this ! report.

Wife, son and I observed two fireball objects and one silver object over Okla.

On July 10 th 2011, at approximately 22:45 hrs. in Durant, Okla., my wife, son and I observed two fireball shaped objects fly out of the East and head Northwest for approximately 5 minutes. Had no strobe lights and appeared to be on fire but made no sound and headed in exact same path.

While observing a quick silver object zoomed from East to West in the blink of an eye.

Have studied astronomy for 30 years and 20 years in Law Enforcement/Security and I am clueless to what these objects were.

Thanks, ((name deleted))

We saw 2 orange fireball ufos traveling west on July 4th, 2010

It was my husband and I that saw them. We were walking up the driveway toward the house when we both turned toward the south to look at the sky, because we are always stargazing. It was very dark outside and we dont live right in town, so there are no light glares of any sort.

The objects were very clear to the eye and were firery orange,moving pretty slow toward the direction of New Mexico. I estimate they were a mile wide, and there were 2 objects.

We are both firm believers in ufos and immediately knew that's what they were.

Super bright light on bottom of craft moving very fast with no sound at all

I was outside smoking a cigarette looking in the sky there were a few planes in the distance toward Dallas tx. Any and all planes I've ever saw have strobes or red light or both. I live in the country outside of town so planes never fly over my house at all unless they are rerouted due to a storm is the only time I've ever seen them fly over. Anytime a plane flys over me I will hear it after it passes. Delay in sound. I have also spotted sattellites before. They look like a star way out above the atmosphere moving slowly across the sky. Ok what I witnessed was neither a plane nor satellite looking whatsoever. I was in my backyard facing south towards Dallas tx when to the southwest of me maybe gainsville tx area a bright light moving towards me caught my attention. My first thought was a that's deffinatly not a plane.

I immediatly thought a satellite. Well it was moving very fast and as it became closer I notice it was not very high in the sky and it was to bright to be a satellite. It actually passes right over my house.

Well when I first see it it's to my southwest ,passes over my house I run around the side of my house And it's now heading away from me now because it had flew over my house but was heading northeast the whole time. It's was flying lower than a commercial airline. As it went over my house the light was very bright. It was a clear night with the moon shining. I don't wanna say for sure but when it was directly above me it seemed to be a circle or triangular shaped craft but the light on bottom made me unsure exactly what shape it was. The only reason I saw a bit of a shape for a second was because of the moonlight and position Of the craft at that moment. There was absolutly no sound whatsoever from it. From the time I spotted it to the time it went over my house and flew totaly out of site took only a minute to a minute and a half. It happened about 4 hrs before I wrote this. I hope someone else saw it or it can be explained. It pretty well traveled across the whole sky in 1 min 30 sec. I've sat and watched aiplanes fly for sometimes 5 to 10 minutes before I can't see them a! nymore and we are talking about planes in the distance with blinking lights. I am 99% sure it was not a plane we k ow of or a satellite flying across the sky in our atmosphere. I'd say it was approximatly 10,000 to 15,000 feet from the ground. I jus hope more comes of it becuz it was only 4 hrs ago. I know that there had to be others around here that saw it I jus don't know yet. I am buying a video camera now jus because this incedent hoping to get film of an event like this if I ever see this again but I doubt it. As soon as I saw it I hollered in the house to two of my friends and they came outside and witnessed it but they were not very interested. They just said it looked strange because they thought planes had blinking lights and not jus one big bright light facing the ground. The way it was moving was also strange it seemed to speed up then slow down then speed up again. It didn't move slowly across the sky like a plane nice and steady it was more jagged like it could! jus take off and be gone in the blink of an eye if it wanted to. VERY STRANGE. Anyways I probly sound crazy and I'm tired of talkin about it because I can't do anything about it and I have no proof other than 2 witnesses and myself. Hopefully someone else witnessed it and maybe they have it on radar. Well that's about all I can say for now thank you

A toy? Or what? A Demon?

I am not really into this type of thing. I am a ((denomination deleted here)) preacher's wife. But, I keep seeing things. And my husband sees them, too. It's freaky. I don't know if it's metoers, or our imagination working overtime...or some rich kid on the hill with neat-looking toys. One night a few weeks ago we saw a whole bunch of firey balls darting to and fro over the sky towards our west, and we watched them for 20 mintues. Some came, some went away, and some stayed, and kept moving. Some were going straight, and some made sharps turns. Some got brighter, and some faded. There were no metoer showers reported. We thoughts some planes were about to crash. Tonight was like my umpteenth sighting of something strange. I woke of insomnia and was looking at the stars, when a big flash of light came out of nowhere, and I thought for a long time what a bright plane it was. Then I thought maybe it was a angel. But, as it got closer, it's path northwest to southeast, I noticed it had a line of lights at it's middle flashing different colors. It was pretty close to the ground. I don't know, it may just be someone playing with a giant toy to freak people out at night. I don't necessarily want to be contacted by any investigators, but, I can show you where the sky is hot. North of town in Durant, Oklahoma. I have seen another freaky thing recentyl. A small glowing object, mostly red in color, flew right toward my house and over it. It was dark in the middle, and red glowing.

Strange events in the sky above Durant, Mississippi

On or about 7/16/2001 while driving through Mississippi I had an experience, which although brief, totally changed my perception and beliefs on UFO’s. I at the time was testing my wings as an OTR truck driver. Partly because I made descent money for a twenty two year old, mostly because I was able to see many things I wasn't sure I would ever get to see otherwise. As a team driver at the time I typically drove at night, usually 9:00 pm to 5:00 am. Of course this was a great time to watch the sky as I often did. Strangely enough I was driving through Mississippi on a very sunny summer day. It was strange because; I never drove during the day and I was in a state I had been through only a handful of times in my short lived driving career. My driving partner at the time was sleeping and it was getting close to the end of my shift. Still very early in the morning I was driving north on I-55 heading home to Nashville, TN in a very desolate part of Mississippi, close to Durant, when I glanced up. There in the bright blue early afternoon sky I saw three very small dots sitting in a triangular formation. I say sitting because there was no movement whatsoever. The objects were so small I thought they must have been miles up. I continued to watch the objects as I drove up the interstate and they remained perfectly still in a right triangle configuration. I thought it was so odd because I had the thought that it could be a real sighting, but it was almost surreal. They seemed so far away and they were so small I wasn’t sure what to think. I have no pictures to document what I saw but, if you saw three of the brightest stars in the night sky shining that brightly through the afternoon sun forming a perfect triangle, that’s what it was. As opened minded as I am I had always been skeptical about the existence of e.t. life, but watching these objects made me really feel that there was something possibly alien or otherwise unknown hovering above me. My sighting went on for a total of about ten minutes. ! During the last few seconds of what was a very wonderful, but rather uneventful phenomena the objects suddenly moved straight up at a rate of speed I could not begin to judge. They literally disappeared in less than a blink of an eye, but I absolutely saw what appeared to be some type of mechanical movement something not at all natural. It was amazing and I so wished I had the opportunity to get pictures as I was driving. I had somewhat doubted the whole experience, but within about a minute of the objects disappearing the strangest thing happened. Five Air Force jets, and I’m not sure what model, but fighter jets were doing flybys at and around the interstate. They circled within five miles of the interstate for a few minutes then disappeared. That incident certainly sparked my interest and belief that something possibly threatening and likely not human exists. Recently I was driving through a neighborhood close to home when I noticed a rainbow in the clouds. While observing the rainbow I shifted my sight about 45 degrees to the right when I noticed the same strange object. This encounter was much briefer and there was only one object I could see. My friend Keith was with me this time and I tried to get him to look, but when I looked to find it again, it was gone. I’m certainly glad to know there is a website dedicated to discovering the truth about UFO’s. I totally and whole heartedly believe that there is a lot we don’t know, but I think we are on the verge of finding the answer to the age old question: Are we alone?

large low flying triangle in oklahoma

As I was driving to town I noticed a large triangular object low to the ground appear to my left & and front a short ways ahead of me. The size, height it was flying, & speed it was moving was so unbelievable that I pulled over on the shoulder, got out of my truck & watched as slowly passed overhead from south to north.

I believe there were 3-4 other vehicles that stopped & watched in amazement as well. The object was triangular in shape with a bright light at each point, it flew at maybe 15-20mph I would est & it made no sound whatsoever.

It flew slightly higher than the tree tops, low enough I remember thinking I could hit it with a slingshot. The craft was so close u could easily see that it was a solid, metallic object, not a balloon or blimp.

The size was the most amazing to me. It had to be something like 300-400 ft in width & length. I've never seen anything that looked Like what I seen, the size that it was, that could move at that slow of a speed & ! stay airborne.

I have told numerous friends & family about this event, from moments after it happened to yrs later. I never reported it due to my not being able to comprehend what it was I saw, how can I report it publicly without being laughed at. I only do this now after seeing a program about the phoenix lights, & when they showed a picture, it was almost like I was there on the side of the road again. It was the same object I watched pass directly over me.
