Duration: 10-15 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Lake City, FL, USA
Location details: It came over the trees from the east over the treeline from Lulu, fl and flew west over chs school.

Shape: Egg
Color: Black
Estimated Size: Two door car
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: It flew from the east horizon directy over my house to the west treeline
Angle of Elevation: 45
Closest Distance: 400 ft
Estimated Speed: 100 mph start - 1000 mph finish
Characteristics: Left a trail

Silent, low and slow flying, quickly sped up and left a small trail. No lights emitting.

This morning, at precisely 5:55 AM, I stepped outside to let my dogs out. I exited through the front door, which faces east toward Jacksonville, Florida. As I waited, I noticed an object moving above the treeline from the east.

At first glance, it resembled a shooting star, but I quickly ruled that out due to its low altitude and relatively slow speed. The object was only a few hundred feet above the ground and emitted no lights. However, I could faintly discern its outline—it appeared to be roughly the size of a two-door car and had a distinct tic-tac shape.

Midway across the sky, the object suddenly accelerated at an extraordinary rate, continuing westward until it disappeared beyond the treeline. Notably, it had no visible wings. My best estimation is that it could have been an advanced unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drone.

Interestingly, the object left behind a single trail as it moved, though the trail dissipated quickly. Typically, such trails form at high altitudes in the upper atmosphere, yet this object was flying at a much lower elevation—only a few hundred feet above the ground.

Vanishing bright light like a star or planet but not one

April 2024 I watched what looked like a star but it moved slightly in different directions. I watched it for around 45 minutes then right before my eyes it vanished. Seen in Comstock Park MI.

Beginning of May, 2024, in upper Michigan in the Lake City MI area, my husband and I witnessed strange movements from what looked like stars that did not come down. It moved in weird ways than moved very fast and slowed down and vanished.

Looking South,Southeast wait for Space X to launch

I was out front of my house waiting for Space X to launch a Falcon 9 rocket at 2109. From Lake City, Fl at night we can see a small flame as any launched rocket from KSC. Typically any launch travels from South to North. What I witnessed tonight was moving South away from me with a continuing flame. That’s why I thought it was tonight’s launch. That’s why I got notice that the launch was moved back to 2119. What I was watching was minutes before the launch took place.

Location details: On Delta flight DL 1638 - window seat facing south

Estimated Size: Size of a softball from my distance
Viewed From: Aircraft
Direction from Viewer: South
Angle of Elevation: 45
Closest Distance: 1-2 miles
Estimated Speed: Unknown
Characteristics: Emitted beams, Aircraft nearby

A fiery orb was seen from my window on a late flight. The fireball was green with arms that rotated around a central point.

I was on flight DL 1638 from Detroit to Denver on 4/26/22 seated closer to the front of the plane, window seat, left side of plane when seated (window looked Southward for the duration of the flight). The flight was later at night. I tend to keep Delta’s flight tracker going on the seatback screen, so I knew we were around north/central Iowa around the time of the sighting. At about 9:30pm CST, I was gazing out the window and sighted a large green orb shooting downward at a 45 degree angle. The orb appeared to have a central point with arms that spun around the central point, creating a disc-like outer perimeter that looked similar to photos you see of the Milky Way Galaxy. For perspective, the orb appeared about the size of a standard softball, but was quite some ways away. I struggle to say whether it was a mile or 2 or maybe even half a mile from where I was. But I imagine for being the size of a softball from my distance, it must have been quite large up close. The speed was also alarmingly fast, although I’d fail to have a decent measurement that wasn’t a complete guess. The object was in my sight for, at most, 2 seconds. It carried its 45 degree trajectory the entire time it was in my sight. After seeing it, I checked around the plane and had even stood up to see if anyone around saw what I’d seen. It appeared I was the only one who was awake or had their window open on the south-facing side. At the time of the sighting, I was unaware of reporting what I’d saw. I tried to search online for explanations, but failed to find anything. It’s now nearly 2 years since the sighting, and I discovered through a UFO docuseries that others, including pilots, have seen green fireball UAP. I immediately found similar stories online and discovered that I could report the finding.

Fast with momentary light trail

On a partially cloudy night while traveling on I-75 southbound just west of Lake City, FL I noticed a very bright light in the east. I first thought helicopter due to flying low just beneath the clouds but it sped up very rapidly and left a very bright white light trail behind it as it travelled west across the highway. The ufo suddenly stopped trailing and returned to original speed, then quickly disappeared west.

I’ve been around military aircraft and nothing I’ve seen can move that fast. It was so fast I’ll never forget it. I would have dismissed it as just a new jet I never saw before, but it left a solid white light trail in the sky that lingered for a good 3 seconds and was itself lit up. The ufo was a bright light and I could not determine a shape.

Shape: Light


Light meandering West to Easy in North Florida.

Standing outside in my front yard this evening, on the phone, I noted several drones or what appear to be similar surveillance tasked aircraft when suddenly from the West moving due east - a light that behaved (aside from the obvious slow but visible movement East) as a planet would, devoid of twinkling, and having about the apparent magnitude of the planet Saturn would on a good night for observation via telescope.

This light meandered very oddly modulating its North - South position on its trajectory constantly and in conjunction with its Eastward momentum. Strangely the apparent magnitude of the light became increasingly dim as it progressed further to the East, eventually requiring some deal of focus to locate and identify during its remaining trek slowly travelling with the equivalent of a multiple drug influenced, severely drunken man's synergism fueled wobbly gait over the horizon.

I observed a very brightly lit object traveling very slowly and silently. It was so bright I couldn’t make out the shape of it. In its wake, was a relatively smaller and less brightly-lit orb maintaining the same distance the whole 3 minutes I observed it. The sun hadn’t risen yet and the leading object was lighting a large patch of the sky and leaving a luminescent trail behind. When I first began watching it, it appeared to be heading east and made a gradual arc toward the south southeast and seemed to be maintaining the same altitude.

I was walking outside to grab diaper wipes out of my car that I had bought and forgot to bring inside to change my baby, as I was walking off the porch I was something out of the left corner of my eye.

Immediately, I knew something was off, so I yelled for my husband who came outside and I told him grab the video recorder, We recorded everything. It’s very visible on the tape. Scary. It was moving violently around and then it was stay very still. It looked diamond shaped and flickered police lights with some green mixed in.

Then it literally vanished instantly. Like it teleported is the only way I can describe it.

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Lights on object, Left a trail

Tessellated ufo with shifting rhomboidal panes. Very large and within hundreds of feet from the ground.

I was driving with my friend from downstate Michigan to the upper peninsula late at night when a series of adjacent stars became increasingly bright. I watched the stars for a couple of seconds, and then a unusual figure almost popped out of the sky. The craft was very atypical of what one may expect from a UFO; I was like watching rhombuses and trapezoids shifting positions, like each shape was its own pane. Each pane was outlined in a bright white light (about 5 stars thick [in perspective from the Earth]) and the center was empty.

The craft was also very large (about 5 suns in perspective from the ground), and was within hundreds of feet from the ground.

I pulled the car over in shock, and the gliding tesseral object stopped. I panicked, and I drove off as fast as possible. Later, I researched the object I spotted and did not find anything that even looked similar to the one I saw. The one piece of research that was interesting was on light travel. The online article states that stars could be used to transport in theory; this craft may of well done that. Overall, the experience was both scary and ominous.

Duration: 2 hours, 15 minutes
No of observers: 4

Location: Lake City, MI, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted other objects, Emitted beams

Bright light in sky that never moved for 75 minuted and then moved quickly.

At 7:15 p.m., we noticed a very bright (about 10 times the brightest star I have ever seen) light in the western sky. We didn't know what it was. We called some friends in our same town, but not by our house. They saw it as well. I called my son (60 miles away) and he saw it.

It did not move from 7:15 until 8:30. The shape looked round - like a bright round ball in the sky. I called a local weather man. He said it was Venus. It was emiting blue and red colors on the sides. Also a tail would come out sometimes on the top, sometimes on the bottom and sometimes on the sides. It never moved in those 75 minutes. It also looked like it had a huge search light beam that would occasionally point down.

We got some great photos of it. The photos showed the blue and red lights. It also showed 2 triangles. One triangle was on the left. It was an upside down triangle. On the right there was another triangle that was right side up. They appeared to be connected. One of the photos show 3 dots in the center of it. Some photos were just totally bizarre. It was like hyroglifics. We took photos of the orange ball, and they came back as designs.

At about 8:30 p.m. I was assuming it was Venus, as it had not moved. I also assumed that the colors and tails we saw were just gas in the sky. However at 8:30, it moved quickly; first down towards the earth - lower in the sky. Then it quickly moved to our right. It moved so quickly that we had to change windows to see it. Then finally, it took a hard left turn and gradually vanished from site in the distance. That made me a believer. I doubt a planet like Venus would do that. There were 2 people in our house and we both saw everything. Our two friends in a different part of town saw exactly the same thing. We made them describe it on the phone.

I have no idea what it was; but it certainly was some kind of unidentified object.

While watching T.V., I noticed from the corner of my eye, three lights appear from the east out of our open second story window just above the tree line. I informed the other two witnesses and they confirmed the sighting of the object or objects. They were large orange lights which formed into the shape of a triangle with the smaller middle light traveling north while the two other lights stayed stationary. the stationary lights disappered followed by the middle light shortly after. the middle light disappeared with forming a circular puff of smoke in the night sky.

Triangular craft using cloud cover not to be seen.

I saw this object as I was leaving Lake City, where I work. It was a cloudy morning with low cloud cover, as I was going up a hill part of the cloud disappeared. All I saw was the front of an extremely large craft. It was triangular in the front and was getting wider toward the back. I saw what appeared to be plates on the side coming to an edge like the top of a pup tent. It was the color of bronze and it flew very slow because it was moving with the clouds. I'm not aware of any government craft that is this large my estimation since the back wasn't visible would be two large aircraft carrierss. Now I have to appologize to everyone who has seen a UFO and reported it because I didn't believe in them until it happened to me. Art Bell said once you've seen one your life is changed I now know what he means. Has anyone seen similar craft to this?

Three white lights forming triangle moving through nightime sky

I am not sure what this was exactly. I was star gazing when I saw what I thought was a satellite but then noticed two more behind it forming a triangle motion heading south and slightly west. It was a little slower than most satellites I have watched in the past and even seemed to stop once for just a few seconds and it kept the perfect triangle formation the whole time. What I was seeing was three small white starlike lights just moving across the sky just like satellites do but in a perfect triangle form. For all I know it could have been three small satellites or who knows what. I have been trying to find info on if there are a set of satellites out there like that or if I have really seen something out of the ordinary. Can anyone help me out here?

Black triangle appeared from behind clouds

Back in the summer of 2001, when I was a teenager, I got bored one night and decided to go outside and look at the the stars. The moon was shining bright, peeking through some fluffy clouds. Eventually, the clouds thinned out enough for a good view. As I was checking out the moon, a large, perfect triangle-shaped craft appeared from behind the clouds. It didn't make a sound and had no visible lights or contrail. It cruised from south to north for a few seconds and then disappeared behind the clouds again.

Bright at rapid speed in NE corner of Calfornia

The nights of July 16th and 17th were lovely warm and clear summer evenings for watching the stars and looking for satellites. Prior to the time of UFO sighting I had sighted about six satellites and multiple high altitude aircraft. I had been laying on the ground for about one half hour in a way that no ground based lights were visible. My body was positioned in a north to south direction. (Location Coordinates 41°37'45.18"N 120°12'50.27"W). Around 2330 I noticed a bright white light traveling west to east from a point starting on a line about one half of the distance between my north horizon and the North Star. The light felt like it was shining from a beginning distance of 15 to 20 miles to the north of my position which would be in the neighbor hood of Mount Bidwell (Coordinates: 41°57'57"N 120°9'56"W). The light reminded me of a brightness of an aircraft landing light except that it felt like it was too far away and was traveling at an angle away fr! om my point of view. No navigation lights were visible at any time around the light. The light did not appear to be directional like a landing light. The path of the diminishing size indicated possible travel away in an east north easterly direction, with the light fading and extinguishing from view prior to my north east horizon. Transit time was in the range of one minute.

This path would be consistent with possible travel for a military night training flight from Kingsley field in Klamath Falls, OR (LMT), to the Hart South MOA. However, the transit time across the horizon and perceived distance appeared much too fast for a jet not in afterburner and under the speed of sound. The night was still and no sound was apparent. My position was slightly east of airway V 165 and high altitude aircraft are regularly visible transiting north to south both west and far to the east of my position. I have never seen a light maneuver like this one, nor have I ever noticed any other flying object that I did not feel could be reasonably explained.

This location is in a sparsely populated region of California. Documented cattle mutilations have occurred in the past on local ranches. I am a former Navy and commercial pilot flying such aircraft such the C-130 in the Atlantic and Pacific regions so am familiar with aircraft and landing lights.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 3031
Occurred: 1998-01-15 05:00 Local
Reported: 1998-01-16 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 30 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Lake City, CO, USA

Shape: Orb


Summary : An object the size and brightness of Venus appeared in southern sky for appoximately 30 seconds. It then gradually doubled and size and then, like a dissolve light switch, the gold like orb went back into darkness. No trace of its existence was apparent after my sighting.

Observer: Amateur astronomer Lake City, CO 81235 I do my main stargazing on my dark morning walks. I have become quite familiar with the many aspects of our universe and especially sighting meteors in all their various shapes and sizes. What I saw the morning of January 15 , 1998 was different than anything I have ever observed. At approximately 5 a.m., I spotted what appeared to be Venus in the southern sky. Realizing that that couldn't be the case, I stared intently at an object which grew at least twice the size and brightness of Venus. Then, as if someone turned a dissolve switch, this object reversed its growth to nothing but dark. I did not observe any other light source after witnessing this remarkable phenomenon.

Bright Light approx 3 miles able to get under it with sunroof open

We were leaving a friends home and as soon as the car was facing west on Baya Ave we noticed a very large bright light hovering in the near distance. We proceeded west on Baya to the intersection with US 90 west, a traffic light stopped us directly under the object that was hovering/with the sun roof open. There were many other cars stopped as well. I knew that many others had to witness this event. The object had a large round ball of light at the front with what appeared to be 2 prongs sticking out of the rear at an angle of 45 degrees, ladder like silver colored things seem to connect the prongs. We were under it for the entire red light, it then made a sequence of beeps (computer noise) is what I called it then and diappeared within 2 seconds completely out of sight. I did a u-turn at the light and went directly to the Lake City police station where we filed a report. I told the officer I did not want him to think I was crazy, but I was shaking, overtaken by the event. He explained to me that he did not think us crazy at all, because himself and a group of officers were called to a home in south Columbia county where a craft hovered directly over 5 police officers and took off @ a speed as unbelievable as the one I had described. I still get goose bumps to this day talking about it. This is the only report of this kind I have ever made. I might add the car stereo and lights reacted strangley for a few moments. The cassette player kept rewinding the same song. The car stalled briefly. The clock lost time.

Light beamed over top and front of car

I was a lifeguard at Lake City Country Club during my freshman year at college. After work, my girlfriends and I would go to a cul de sac in the back of the country club to hang out and party. They were building new homes back there, but none were completed. The road was completed and allowed for some privacy, as few cars ever drove by. That night we, (there were three of us in the front seat), were just pulling up to the back of the "cul de sac"(before having any drinks), when a bright light came over the top of the car. The three of us were unable to move, it was like we were frozen in time. We were facing forward and we were unable to communicate or move. I guess during this time the car shut off. We all came out of this trance at the same time. We all began to cry simultaneously and I tried quickly to get the car started to get out of there. At about the same time we noticed truck lights behind us on the main road leading to the "cul de sac". The truck passed and we left as quickly as possible. What we remebered, we all recounted pretty much exactly the same things, was that the car was shaking, like it was lifted up and dropped. This was at the very beginning I think, so maybe it was the fact that I could not move and because the car was a stick shift, shook as it was out of gear and shut off? When we came back, the car was difficult to start and that may have been the fear, maybe I was unable to simply start it, but I do recall the cassette deck being screwed up and the clock on the dash. We all estimated we had lost about ten to fifteen minutes as we knew when we arrived. We went to a local bowling alley and got a guy we knew to go back with us to see if anything was there. Unfortunately, we were too frightened and opted to stay down the road about a mile, while he did it alone. He laughed at us and, of course, this became a joke with our other friends. I spoke with my father about it later that night and he said it must have been something,(because I had not bee! n home on a Saturday night @9:00 PM since I was in Junior High). Anyway, I am 38 now, A Financial Planner, sane individual. All three of us grew up to be responsible, educated, professinal adults. However, I am unable to forget this event. Please, I am open to any insight. I witnessed another similar event after this one, I posted that earlier this year. One of the same girls was with me again.
