Oval with Lights

My children claim to have seen a black oval shaped ufo near their grandmother's house. It was an oval with 3 white lights on the front and 1 red light on the bottom. They assumed it was a drone at first, but realized it was much larger and moved in a unique manner - slowly moving forward. This hovered over Kings Cove neighborhood near the flashing light at Woodlawn and Powers Rd (Chattahoochee Plantation).

Strange object flying west to east

Was in the parking lot of my apartment complex, standing facing north, looked up in the sky towards the west, because I saw a cluster of stars like in a cloud, but there was no clouds in the sky, and this object proceeded to get brighter flying towards the east. And then it disappeared. I have a little over a minute video, I was probably watching it 30 seconds before I thought to start videotaping.

Location: Marietta, OH, USA
Location details: Coming out of las trancus Mexican restaurant.

Shape: Cigar
Characteristics: Emitted other objects, Aircraft nearby

My wife and I saw lights in a craft coming out of a Mexican restaurant in Marietta Ohio.

Around 6:55 PM October 10th 2023. My wife and I were leaving a Mexican Restaurant restaurant in Marietta, Ohio I saw a amazingly bright flash that continued over my left shoulder towards the Southwest.

The bright object in the sky was the color of the sun. The object was a shiny metallic and cigar or tictac shaped there was one bright orange orb as well.
The light I saw was the color of the sun setting so I believe it was a reflection of the Sun shining off the craft. My wife and I could tell for a fact that was not an airplane or drone. Would've been too high for a drone and to eradick for an airplane.

In faded in and out and moved super fast to different parts of the sky for the next 2 to 3 minutes. It was way faster than an airplane could fly, it was so beautiful.

My wife didn't see the first flash but saw everything after that. She saw it a few times before it faded out as the sun set. It was much larger than an airplane and would stay stationary for 10 to 30 seconds before shooting across the sky without contrails or noise.There was actually an airplane overhead at the same time with contrails and it looked completely different.

4 lights close together, all in a row, hovering in sky

While I was driving south bound on I75 in Marietta, GA, I saw an odd formation of lights, all in a row in the sky. It seemed to be moving slowly. Looking at Starlink trackers, there was none to be seen at that location, at that time. It looked shorter than a Starlink satellite. The lights were very bright and did not appear to be attached

Then, missing time while driving, car locked up and drove a half hour away from destination with no memory and car is disabled tonight. This was happening with my sister and law and I. We live in the same house.

Saw pulsing orb in sky followed by plasma/fireballs above my street

I went out to the front of my residence for a smoke. Was enjoying that first breath of what felt like fall and noticed that the night sky was clear the way it is during autumn. I noticed a spherical object moving across the night sky. At first I figured, "Oh its one of those star-link satellites...I haven't seen one of those in a while." So I preceded to observe it. Then I noticed it wasn't moving in a straight path. It was moving in a wavy type path. I thought, "man it would sure be nice if it got a little brighter," as it would be easier to see (it looked like a moving star). As soon as that thought entered my mind, it began to pulse. It would brighten up and then dim.

Then something drew my attention away from the sky. I turned to look behind me and all of a sudden a series of colorful plasma type orbs phased in about 40 yards away from me. There was one large one followed by two more that were slightly smaller. They were completely silent and then emitted this rainbow like color with a light purple aura. They traveled completely straight for about 3 seconds and then faded out and disappeared. Several nearby dogs began howling and barking as soon as the plasma orbs faded out.

The whole thing happened too fast for me to whip out my phone and start snapping photos. I was AWESTRUCK. The craft in the sky was definitely in space or upper atmosphere while the plasma orbs were no higher than the neighbors cherry tree and no larger than an orange or small melon.

Ten minutes after this happened, I saw 2 black helicopters flying low over a nearby neighborhood. They looked like black hawk helicopters. It was night so I can't be certain, but by their size and shape, they were definitely military. These helicopters were flying in circles around my neighborhood and other nearby neighborhoods. There were also a couple aircraft flying above my area doing laps. I live near a local commercial airport so the air traffic control tower could have had them flying in a holding pattern. Still, it seemed like a strange coincidence that military helicopters, that never fly around here, all of a sudden show up and start circling around the area after this happened.

Very slow moving craft with red and green lights accelerating at incredible speed.

June 7th 2021 Marietta, OH. approx. 9:00 pm I was looking to the SSW right before dark and noticed a green and red flashing light just above the neighbors house. The cloud cover was very low so the object was not very high in the sky. The object never made any sound and traveled so slow at times I thought it was hovering. I watched it for 12 to 15 minutes. It was traveling NNE like it was following the Ohio River. I kept trying to figure out what is was, not a plane(too slow) and the strobe period is not right(too slow), maybe it's a blimp. Yeah, it's a blimp because I can see shape of the lights like on a billboard. Maybe it will turn up the Muskingum River like it was heading towards Akron. Instead it kept going in the same direction, slowly getting closer. The lights were a circle of red lights with one being a vertical square bar on top. The green lights were arranged in a triangle with a long horizontal green bar on the bottom and individual lights on the sides (see Fig. 1). Flashing red then green, red then gree! n. With no warning the object took off at incredible speed to the East(see Fig. 2). It was so fast that I think my eyes blended the red and green lights into a yellow streak . Never have I seen anything like that, so I thought I should report it.

Saw a large circular stationary object in broad daylight . It was a dark color and no sound

I was in my backyard and I saw some planes passing by. As one passed by a dark circular shaped object was floating stationary off in the distance . I stared at it for many seconds and tried to capture it on my phone and my video wasn’t working at that moment. For some strange reason. It remained stationary then I got up to get a closer look. And it began slowly moving to the left and then poof disappeared!

My wife and I were in our backyard with our two toddlers, and my wife saw something in the sky at approximately 4:10pm eastern time. She told me there was a white light moving across the sky and asked if I could see it. I didn't see it at that time. Then she began to record on her phone, and that's when I focused on the sky and saw the object as well. We saw two white objects moving across the sky very quickly, and only one was caught on video. Our first video she was trying to capture the first object, and she didn't get it on camera, however the second object appears in the lower right corner of the frame. She noticed it and began recording again, and caught the second object moving and then disappearing into the sky. We really thought nothing of it at first, but then around 2 or 3 minutes later a military jet zoomed past in the same direction the objects went. We watched the videos together later on after our babies were in bed, and we realized it was so! mething out of the ordinary. I paused the first video when the object appeared in the lower corner, and I zoomed in and took a screenshot of the object. It appears to be a saucer shaped object, and we believe it to be a ufo.

Huge city block length sighting in Marietta Ohio with 4 huge lights

I began hearing a very loud roaring like an airplane but this was much louder and vibrated everything around. I then saw 4 large yellowish lights directly above 2 buildings 2 blocks over that was slowly approaching my direction they then stopped above the buildings, directly above the buildings probably 20 foot. They were as wide as the 2 city buildings. It hovered there for a few minutes swaying side to side then it backed up slowly started to turn and then disappeared into thin air....it was too big to have went behind the buildings and flew away it would have been seen no matter what direction it would have went

I witness the same UFO David Fravor witnessed back in 2004.

On September 23, 2020 around 6 PM my son was outside looking at the skies when I walked out he pointed up into the clouds and asked me if I could see what he saw I looked up and saw what appears to be a UFO hovering for about 15 minutes before slowly moving away into the clouds it appears to be the same UFO that the former pilot David Fravor witness back in 2004 it was round or oval with antennas emerging from both sides it was so high up into the clouds so it appear to be much smaller from my angle looking up I did contact 911 to report the object in the area.

P.S. There was no sound.

Large red light above the clouds moving west to east in the northern sky.

I noticed a rather brilliant point of light about thirty degrees above the horizon in the northern sky, brighter than Venus, or any star I normally see. Upon a second look, I see a solid red light moving in a horizontal line from west to east. As I tried to determine what it was, the light began to flicker slightly, then flicker more as I realized it was passing behind a bank of Cirrocumulus clouds until it disappeared, obstructed by the clouds. It became apparent the size of the red light was rather large at the altitude above the cloud bank, further eliminating the airplane, or drone possibility. It was seemingly more likely to be an asteroid above the atmosphere, reflecting the morning sunrise not yet illuminating the sky.

ON NOV. 3, 2019 AT 9:12 AM, I WAS WALKING MY DOG AND STOPPED TO NOTICE HOW THE VERY BRIGHT SUN WAS SHINING EXACTLY AT AN OPEN SPOT IN A TREE NEAR MY HOME.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE SUN BECAME A LIGHT PURPLE COLR AND ABOUT ONE MINUTE LATER, IT BECAME A PINK COLOR. I DECIDED TO OVE MY POSITION TO SEE WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS ANOMALY.

THE SUN WAS BLINDING, SO I DECIDED TO GO HOME QUICKLY AND TAKE A PHOTO SO THAT I WOULD NOT HURT MY EYES BY STARING INTO IT ANY LONGER. FROM THE PORCH, I TOOK SEVEN PHOTOS AND THE RESULTS CAPTURED THE EVENT CLEARLY.

A COLORED OBJECT WITH A BRIGHT BALL-SHAPED CENTER MOVED AROUND THE SUN AND THAT IS WHAT CAUSED THE COLOR OF THE SUN FROM MY VIEW.

PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. NOTE: I LIVE CLOSE TO DOBBINS AIR FORCE BASE WHERE MANY SIGHTINGS HAVE OCCURRED.

It appeared to be preparing to land but there was no airport nearby and it was moving much too fast. There was a light on each of the corners of the craft. It disappeared as quickly as it appeared, never making a sound and leaving no trail behind it.

What was in the sky this morning?

I saw a very bright light, strange irregular shape but mostly vertical orientation. No blinking, moving south then disappeared from view after about 15 seconds. About 30 seconds later I saw it again, this time much farther south and dimmer, then it disappeared completely. At least one aircraft also seen in the sky at the time.

This happened for a total of three lights and then they completely disappeared.

Slow-moving triangle aircraft visible in night sky.

Sphere ball of light in the night sky that caught my attention while I was driving. I thought it was a cell tower light but knew there wasn’t one near by. The ball of light continued to move and then I lost a visual on it.

I come to a red light, looked for the ball of light, but then see a slow triangle aircraft flying close to the ground and moving slowly. It had red,blue, and green lights and was only in my line of sight for about 10 seconds. It seemed odd that an aircraft like that would be flying so close to the ground when the local airport is several miles away.

I was not able to video record any of these since I was driving, but it did spook me enough to look online to see if anyone else had witnessed it.

Several strange lights along with strange sound and electronic disturbance.

I went in my back yard around 9:15 pm to check and see if the Amber light that has been in the Southwestern sky for the last several nights. When I went to look it was there along a ball of light in my front yard (southeast), one directly south above a tree and there was a light directly above me, In addition to those orbs, crafts, lights, or whatever you want to call them, I witnessed an orange/Amber ball of light float above the tree that already had an occupant and then it disappeared (this was the south side of my yard).

After that, I started feeling a little nervous and began to go back inside and as I was about to walk in I took another glance at the object in the South East and a light floated down and past the object in the sky. and floated along to the Northeastern corner of my yard behind the trees.

I took several photos and videos of the event with my cell phone so the quality is not that good.

I forgot to add that there was a weird horn sound on one of the videos that I took and last night while taking it I didn't notice a sound but it was recorded. My phone was also malfunctioning a bit saying that there was a strange magnetic field. A little while after I went inside I heard helicopters.

I would really like to know what is going on. I live about 8 miles from Lockheed Dobbins. I assume there is a lot going on. What I don't understand is how no one else seems to notice or see them except for a select few people.

Erratic and fast moving green and yellow bright lights in West Cobb County, Marietta, GA, Early AM Jan 20 and Jan 21.

20Jan2018 and 21Jan2018 Marietta, GA. I am in West Cobb, several miles from Kennesaw Mountain, and yesterday morning, around 1:44 AM EST, I looked out my bathroom window and saw two erratically moving bright objects high in the sky. One object was to my right, emitting green light, lower in the sky than the other and moving more slowly.

The other was a bright pale yellow, much higher to the left and moving rapidly and erratically in a wide path.

I cannot tell the shape as I am mainly seeing bright light but the light appears to be circular or oval.

I am in a flight path for both McCollum Field and Dobbins Air Reserve Base so initially I thought it might be a helicopter or small plane, but the way the object was moving I do not believe would be possible for a known aircraft.

I did see the green object sparkling brightly but barely moving again to the right around 8:26 PM last evening (20Jan2018) and hoped it was just a star in the very cold and clear sky.

This morning, around 1:26 AM I again saw the yellowish object to the left. It was moving up, down and across in the same rapid and erratic pattern as the morning before. This time however, that object was suddenly joined by a bright green object. I did not see the green object arrive but it was not there when I first saw the yellow light. The objects seem to be circling each other but not in any organized fashion. They are darting back and forth. There appear to be small red lights around the edges of the green object. I don’t know if the green object is the same one I saw to the right the morning and evening before.

I checked McCollum Field’s flight schedule, and there are no scheduled flights or arrivals at this time. There was only one flight, an arrival at 12:05 AM from Scottsdale that might possibly be heading over my area. I don’t know how to contact Dobbins to ask whether they have any planes in the air. Do I need to report this to the police or to Dobbins? As for my background I am a 56 year old female, currently unemployed but have been a Pharmaceutical/Bio-Tech Project Manager for the past 15 years. I usually try to find a logical explanation for everything but I also strongly believe there can be no common explanation for some events.

Black Triangular Craft Spotted 150ft above my house.

On this night of October 18, 2017, My girlfriend and i just got back to my house from dinner. We were talking in my car in my driveway for a bit, and out of the corner of my eye, i saw lights. (What i saw) Was a triangular craft with about 4 lights on each side, some were yellow, some were white, and one was red, in the middle. It flew from behind a tree in my backyard, then i saw it for about 4-5 seconds, then it went into the trees and dissapeared. I opened my door as soon as it left to see if there was a noise, and there wasnt. It was about 150ft in the air, which is very low for an airplane, and i know what i saw. It wasnt an airplane. Nothing we have. Personally, i am a UFO enthusiast and i know plently about eveything, so i could accept it and easily identify it as A triangular craft. Now what my girlfriend saw, was what she describes as just about 10 yellow lights moving in unison without breaking formation, like fireflies. Im aware that there is a post here describing the same exact thing, In around the same area.

Light appears in sky the suddenly flashes brightly before streaking in different direction in night sky

I was taking the trash out, and on my way inside, I was looking at the moon and the stars. There were some clouds but not many.

I then saw what I thought was a dim satellite flying across the sky, and within seconds, it went black, when suddenly a very bright flash appeared, and the object flew off at an incredible rate of speed in a different direction. I have never seen anything like this and I'm hoping by posting this someone else will come forward who saw it also.

I could not tell what shape it was because I could only see what appeared to be one light. It was not flashing which is why I thought it was a satellite. No satellite has ever moved like that though.

I immediately ran inside with goosebumps on my arms and told my wife, and then called my brother to tell him what had just happened. The entire event only lasted a few seconds but I will remember that forever. WOW!! I'm not sure what I saw but it was amazing.

EMERALD GREEN ORB PUTS ON LIGHT SHOW IN MARIETTA GA.

The wife and I were sitting on our deck, looking at the stars and the waxing moon. It was around 9:00 P.M. on a cool Spring Sunday night. The sky was clear and cloud free. The moon was @ 95% full. I was looking over the roof line of my house towards the south and east. My wife was looking south and west.

Suddenly there was a flash of light over the roof line in my sight of vision. It was an intense, luminous emerald green color. It looked like electrical sparks with arcing shards of current. It appeared to be 3 or 4 times larger than the moon. From the center of this matrix emerged what appeared to be a round or slightly oval orb with what looked like a lightning bolt trailing it. The short trajectory of the object curved @ 180 degrees (like the letter C) and it stopped at that point. The trailing energy field that followed the orb was visually sizzling (no sound) like the fuse of a firecracker and eventually subsided.

The orb was standing completely motionless at that point. If the moon was a basketball this orb would have been a softball. I yelled at my wife to look at the object and she stood up in time to see it begin to pulse and speed away. It shot into the tree line and disappeared. I have never seen anything move so fast from a dead stop. It seemed to me the pulsing of the object correlated with it's rate of acceleration,.as if the pulsing was a proponent of it's propulsion. The angle of the sighting was at a 45/50 degree angle. It appeared to be moving laterally due south.

My personal opinion is that the object made a dimensional shift, like a car running off the road. The initial light show appeared to be a force field that had been breached. As the object stood motionless, after its introduction into our world, it appeared to get its bearings and re-enter it original flight plan. That's just my take, or maybe it was here to stay. I hope to make a computer model in real time of the experience. This is something the wife and I will never forget.

Driving near intersection of Stilesboro Rd and Mars Hill road. Noticed neon blue light roughly west/southwest of my position. Went into store and upon exiting light was still in same position. Traveled for about 5 more mins in the direction of light and position never changed. Objected seemed to have a faint haze or possible tail - lost sight of it when I changed direction. Hoping someone else saw it or has some explanation - I've seen satellites, meteorites, comets, etc. but have never seen something like this before.

Defined Bright Glowing Red Orange Sphere or Fireball Seen Traveling (Or Landing?) ESE from Marietta, OH

On the night of Tuesday, Feb. 21st, 2017, about 10:45 P.M. Returning home from work, I saw a defined sphere/globe, bright glowing red orange ball appear apparently out of the cloud cover above (no stars were visible) and then traveling, almost downward, about as fast as a speedy jet liner disappearing over tree covered horizon toward east southeast as I was traveling down Acme Street in Marietta, Ohio.

At first, I thought that it might simply be a reflection of a sodium street lamp on Acme Street appearing on my wind screen or one of the large area lights on one of several tall masts near the Interstate 77 interchange with Ohio SR 7/Pike St., only a hundred yards from the opening of Acme Street. (No way one of these disappeared below the horizon, since you drive under them going through the interchange.) However, continuing to observe the light as I traveled toward Pike Street the light continued in a fashion matching the speed of a fast jet plane, low, and eventually disappearing over the horizon. It did not seem to get much smaller than when I first saw it appear. This object did not appear like 'fire' nor did it have a tail of any sort. The object was close enough that my palm on an outstretched arm would have covered it up neatly. The light appeared as a well defined sphere or globe and never changed direction, indeed, almost as if it were coming down instead of going further. This sighting lasted less than two minutes.

There is an airport due south of Marietta, OH, across the river in Wood County (Gill-Robb Wilson Air Field/Wood Cty. Airport), where a West Virginia ANG Unit operates. However, this light appeared to go past that direction, and did not appear to have any features matching a plane or helicopter. There were no flashing lights or landing gear lights.

I am a casual observer of the sky and have a decent knowledge of what planes look like in the day and night. My son is an amateur astronomer and so some of that knowledge has come in handy knowing the difference of planets, stars, and other common aerial phenomena. This was nothing like I'd ever seen before, as it was cloudy and the ball of light was under the cloud ceiling (which in my sons opinion rules out Jupiter, for instance, which was shining in the east—or a comet or meteor) and to my knowledge, any air craft (or phenomena) I've ever laid eyes upon.

Several reddish/orange lights in formation seen by two witnesses north of Atlanta, GA (Marietta, GA) on Dec. 24, 2016.

On the way to a store on Dec. 24, 2016 (7:55 pm), several red/orange lights were observed in the sky by two witnesses as they traveled by car. They appeared a little larger than the stars in the background. They had a circular shape and did not blink. There seemed to be two batches of lights. Each contained five to six lights per group. The second group formed a square with one light in the middle. They moved slowly (if at all), then disappeared suddenly. It was as if they sank behind the tree line.

Note: There was an airplane off to the left that could be seen at the same time. The airplane displayed the normal characteristics of white light with blinking lights and was moving at typical airplane speed. The red UFO circles clearly appeared much different then the "normal" aircraft flying off to the left. The red UFOs where bigger in size as well.

Three silent white cigar shaped objects floated across the sky at 10:30 to 11:30 Sunday morning.

My granddaughter and I witnessed an object that was travelling from southwest to northeast that was white and appeared the size and shape of a jumbo jet minus and wings. It made its way silently across the sky until it reached the horizon. The really strange part of this story is... this sighting repeated three times over a period of one hour.

I'm assuming it was three different craft because it moved so slowly across the sky.

We are not far from Dobbins Air Force Base and no fighter jets were scrambled (several years ago I witness an orange ball of light moving across the sky that was chased by a fighter jet) but nothing as dramatic as that occurred.

I took a picture of them and as we were going by the Best Western Motel on Pike Street we noticed that they were coming from behind the motel. We could see the fire flickering as they rose in the air. There were several already in the air and a few were just going over the street.

As we continued on Pike Street I took more pictures and watched until I could no longer see them as we continued driving.

Chevron - Triangles- Large V shape all within 15-20 mins.





I was in a local parking lot talking in the phone with a friend. It's a parking lot with several businesses in it, restaurants and stores. I was facing east. Around 8:45 p.m. I started to see about 30- 40 lights shoot up into the sky. There was roof tops in my way but it appeared to be shooting up from ground maybe 500 feet away from me. They were orange/yellow color. After shooting up and the lights moving down the sky, forming a chevron like pattern, I was able to snap 2 different photos from my cell. I then decided to drive towards where this was happening, because I wanted to get a closer look, and also was trying to figure out what it was that I was seeing. So as I was driving towards it, the lights went into triangle shapes, and then I saw a HUGE V. The V was stationary. By that time I had pulled into another parking lot and had a great view, got out of my car and went to take a photo, the lights from the V then shut off, only 1 remained. I snapped a photo of that. The one light remained for about 5-10 minutes before phasing out. I could clearly see what looked like a mothership above the V lights. The other lights I saw that took formation, different formations, seem to be like smaller craft going to the bigger craft. The thing is, no one else seem to see it that night or at least I've not heard any reports. I kept checking social media, I asked a few people if they saw anything in the sky that night, no one else seems to of seen it. I reached out to four different ex military men, some are family, a couple friends. I showed them the photos, and they have all said they have never seen anything like it and that when you zoom in the photos I have, it is pretty crazy and creepy. You can clearly see several smaller aircraft. I can say it's left me a little unsettled, as I KNOW what I saw, but still can't believe what I saw!

V-shaped lights in Marietta, Ohio, Oct. 8, 2016

I would like to report a strange group of lights that I saw on Oct. 8, 2016, between 8:00 and 9:00 PM in Marietta, Ohio.

I was driving South on Pike St. (Route 7), when I saw a group of slow moving lights that were low and appeared to be moving North up the Ohio River. The lights were formed in a “V” pattern, much like a flock of birds or geese. They were amber in color. Each light had an individual “V” shape as well.

I pulled my car over to watch and they kept moving up the Ohio River until I lost sight of them. I called my husband to tell him to go outdoors to see them, but he could not see any activity. We live approximately 3 miles from where I had seen the lights.

I called the Reporting Center today, Nov. 1, 2016, with this information.

Cylinder with bi-plane type wings or appendages, reflected setting sun in a brilliant golden color.

September 29, 2016 7:15 PM EDT.

I stepped out on my back deck to enjoy a break in the summer heat and heard a large airliner pass by overhead in a north-easterly direction, which is a normal route out of Atlanta Airport. The airliner probably had not reached its cruising altitude but was above 15,000 feet. I could hear and see it very well.

As I watched the airliner travel away from me I noticed another craft that was west of the airliner traveling to the southeast and was quite a bit higher than the airliner. The craft looked as if it were descending directly at me in a nose down fashion.

The setting sun reflected brilliantly from the craft in a golden color, which made it difficult to know exactly what color it was. If I had to guess the color was probably silver. At first it looked like the International Space Station with two sets of solar panels extending from each side making it look similar to a bi-plane.

The reflected sun light radiated around the craft revealing a solid object, at this point its direction of travel was due east. After a few seconds the object changed course to due south as it approached where I was standing. It travelled south slowly away from my position, but the appendages similar to bi-plane wings or solar panels had changed and appeared to be on the west or right side of the object.

I called my daughter out to see the object. Her first reaction was “it’s a plane”. I sort of disputed that by saying “where’s the wings”. She said “well it doesn’t seem to have any”. At that point the object was cigar shaped with appendages on its right side. We watched it continue south and I looked away to come inside the house and my daughter said it disappeared. I looked one last time and didn’t see it.

Summarizing: the object had physical shape, brilliantly reflected the setting sun producing a gleaming effect, made no noise, had no blinking lights, traveled in very steady manner, changed direction and shape.

tri-colored phosphorous looking oval gliding effortlessly and silently over-head.

As my custom, I took my dog out the front door into my lawn for one last break before retiring to bed. Customarily I use this time to look over-head to check the night sky. Peering into a beautiful, clear, cool night sky, I spotted a glowing oval shaped craft which appeared to be tri-colored and emitting a phosphorescent glow as it glided silently over-head. The object appeared to be two inches in length if held at an arm's length distance. If I had to venture a guess I would say the object was approximately 400-600 feet elevation at an angle of 60 degrees. The duration did not exceed 2 seconds in length, but will last a lifetime in my memory. I was stunned at the fluidity of it's flight and it's complete lack of sound. If I had a camera posed and ready to shoot, it would have been a miracle to capture this swift flying object.

The object looked like a small Sun, but not as bright. It did not have a trail but did have a wide tail the same width as the front.

It looked like it might have moved so fast that it gave the appearance of length to itself.

It was in the eastern sky, moved up and slightly swerved to the left.

I saw it for a few seconds before it vanished.

I could see that it was far from me but it had to have been huge and close to Earth.

((ADDENDUM #1 FROM WITNESS))

The object looked like a small Sun, but not as bright. It did not have a trail but it did have a wide tail that looked like it might have moved so fast that it just appeared to have a wide tail. It was in the eastern sky, well above the trees. It moved up and swerved to the left. I saw it for a few seconds before it vanished. I could tell that it was pretty far away, but it had to have been huge and close to Earth.

Duration: 2 fly overs totaling 3 mi
No of observers: 1

Location: Marietta, GA, USA

Shape: Chevron
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

I live on the 4th floor of a 4 story loft building in downtown Marietta, Georgia.

At approximately 10:14pm on 6/16/15, I was sitting on my patio and noticed a large, silent, boomerang (elongated chevron) shaped object with 3 dull amber lights on the bottom at each corner (could have been the rear as they were very small in relation to the craft), glide by at about 1000-2000ft North and 1000-2000ft altitude accompanied(or being chased) by a C-130 following 500-1000ft behind. The wingspan of the chevron appeared 80-90% that of the C-130. Both crafts appeared to be headed due East.

At approximately 10:16, I called a friend, who I know lives in the direction that the aircraft appeared to be flying. He and his girlfriend then went outside and nearly instantaneously saw something far more anomalous in the sky (I will allow him to report that seperately).

At approximately 10:20 PM, a few minutes after I witnessed their reports over the phone, the silent boomerang flies directly overhead again, this time flying from South to North at approximately 3000ft-5000ft altitude, and was emitting a solid line of white/yellow light that slowly turned to orange, and then red, as it was flying north and gaining altitude at considerable speed.

The C-130 was about 15-20 seconds behind the chevron during the second fly over, and seemed to be turning back to Dobbins AFB, which is approximately 1.5 to 2 miles south of me, directly next to Lockheed Martin Marietta. The C-5 and C-130 fly over almost daily. I am very familiar with these craft by sound and sight.

This was something entirely different as it was sizeable, had no fuselage and had no sound.

Orange lights emit beams and a massive white light pulses with radiant haloes in a race across the sky

Having already seen two anomalous, transitory lights race across the sky in the past week, I found myself wondering if anyone would believe me if I decided to mention them.

Between the nights of December 18 and December 24, I had been unable to sleep. So for me it was becoming a very personal experience, and I tend to internalize deeply-felt emotions, so I didn’t feel the time was right to bring it up. On the night of December 27, I had a sudden change of heart. I went outside at 7:00 with my dogs (two labs). As soon as I opened the door they went charging off through the snow, barking and howling with a viciousness I’d never heard from them before. Every dog (I think ten in total) on the five additional farms within two miles of our place was barking and howling in the same aggressive manner. We have lots of coyotes around here, and when the pack comes through our yard the dogs have a very distinct way of responding to them. When they bark, they sound stern, gruff, and assertive. This was nothing like that. They were snarling and shrieking at a fever pitch. Canine hysteria.

Looking up in the northwestern sky, I saw a bright orange “star,” once again out of place in the stellar grid. Within five seconds it started to move, heading south and then southeast. The faster it went, the brighter it became. Then I saw a bright white flash roughly 15 degrees due west. It was the shape of a massive halo, and there was a tiny white pinprick of light in the center. It started to pulse like a camera flash as the orange light passed before it. This caused the orange light to accelerate, freakishly fast. The halo continued to pulsate, about once every three seconds for around 30 seconds, while remaining stationary. Each pulse of light remained visible for just a fraction of a second, but it never wavered or decreased in intensity. It was more luminous than a full moon.

At this point, I ran inside and told my Dad: “Come look at the UFOs!” He came out immediately. I brought a monocular and we watched the orange light race across the sky, heading southeast. The white halo, however had disappeared. As I was telling my dad what it had looked like, he pointed out another “star” which started to move. At first it was white, and then turned orange, following the first light on a southeastern trajectory. When they disappeared, we were left listening to the dogs howling and snarling hysterically.

At about 7:10 my dad went to bed (he gets up early), taking our dogs in with him. I stayed out, scanning the skies for anything unusual. By 7:15 the skies were being crisscrossed by a total of six aircraft with orange strobe lights. It was roughly the same color orange as the UFOs. However, there was a distinct difference. The UFOs were faster, they could remain stationary, they changed colors, and they displayed no strobe flashes. Two of the aircraft flew in single file from north to south, two side by side from northwest to southeast, and two in single file from east to west.

At 7:30 PM while looking southeast, I saw two orange lights pass through the constellation Orion. I cannot say whether or not they were the same ones my dad and I had seen moments before. Both were firing (or emitting) white beams of light (this may sound silly, but they were just like the laser beams you’d see in Star Wars, only white). I don’t think they were meteors because they emanated directly from the orange lights. One was in close pursuit of the other, and it looked like they were firing on each other. After four of these beams were fired in quick succession, the big white pulsating halo appeared in the center of Orion and flashed twice. Once again, it was brighter than a full moon. After the second flash, the two orange lights rapidly diminished to white, then became invisible. The halo never pulsated again. The dogs on the neighboring farms were still howling and barking hysterically. I was left feeling stunned, then overwhelmed. Then I wept, which is not something I do on a regular basis. By 8:00 the dogs quit howling. It was a windy night and I was unable to sleep.

"Star" glows orange and spins in vortex, flies off at great speed.

This is the first of three sightings I had between December 17 and December 27.

I was out for an evening walk on our family farm in western Minnesota, hiking over the prairie. I stopped and sat on a ridge overlooking a wetland to the north and a grassy swale to the south. To the south there were several deer emerging from a clump of willows. I was observing them through a monocular. I stayed out after sunset to look for owls (I’m a birder) and, realizing that the full moon was about to rise, I turned to the east and waited. It was partly-cloudy; long, trailing stratus formations rolling off to the northeast.

Fifteen degrees above the northeastern horizon I noticed an emerging “star” which I immediately sensed as being out of place (too early and too bright to be Jupiter). After ten seconds of observation, it became brighter than Venus (which was itself clearly visible in the southwest). At first it was amber, but then grew to a bright, blazing hunter-orange. After 20-30 seconds of observation it started to spin downwards, from the northeast to the southeast, in wide looping arcs. It did this for roughly one minute. Upon completing its fifth arc, it shot across the northeastern sky at a baffling speed as if it had been launched from a sling. As soon as it disappeared from view, the top of the moon (bright orange as well) peaked over the horizon. It seemed as if it were aimed directly at the moonrise.

I went out again the following night, but saw nothing.

Flickering orange "star" becomes transitory, races across the sky

Stepped outside to look at the stars and listen to coyotes around 7:00 PM. There was a faint mist in the upper atmosphere that put a halo around each star. High in the northwestern sky I noticed another bright orange “star” that just didn’t fit in. After observing it for several seconds, it drifted slowly toward the southeast. It kept a gradual pace for about ten seconds, then quickly accelerated, suddenly flickering white and then back to blaze orange again. Its light was brilliant, many times brighter than Sirius or Jupiter, despite the upper-level mist. After roughly one minute, it had cruised across the sky and was over the southeastern horizon.

Egg shaped craft hovered over tree line, fantastic white lights.

Driving down State Route 550, a bright white light appeared on the tree line and shone up into the sky. It appeared to be a football or egg-shape with bright white lights with a greenish tint underneath of it. These lights revealed metallic "legs" underneath but a clear view of its underside was limited due to the intensity of the lights. The craft didn't make a sound, even as I drove right under it. I pulled into my driveway half a mile down and when I got onto the hill it had disappeared. This is the third time I have seen a craft of similar shape and lights on this state route, a family member has also seen it twice. I couldn't take a picture because of a car behind me. I feel like reporting this is crazy, but I have seen things like this before. The last time I saw it I had strange bruises on my arms and legs and an experience as though I missed time. I was writing a report and next thing I knew it was over 45 minutes later. This has been seen on the same road by multiple people. I have friends that have seen it. I think there should be someone looking in to this.

Another Night of Large Sightings In Marietta Ga

I witnessed several "UFO's" that appeared in the west, each one would hover for a few moments then proceed to the south. This pattern was repeated for the next several hours. One by one, the UFO's would appear, hover, then proceed south. My son, and I did see a few crafts moving to the north, but I could not make out the shape only the flashing lights. We also observed a very bright shape in the southern sky that appeared to be a star, but was very large and had a very large hue around it. As, I observed it through the binoculars and I could see flashing lights enter the object. At one point 6 "UFO's" appeared and moved into what looked like a formation. I also was able to see through the binoculars that they seemed to be traveling in pairs, so my numbers could be way off. They change shape, as I did see a saucer shape very clearly and sketched it out as soon as I saw it, but also other shapes that resembled a cigar and some that appeared to have a tail like a comma, among others. The colors varied from ship to ship, but most has blue, red, yellow, gold, maybe green alternating flashing/pulsating. It really depends on the angle I was looking and the distance, but the colors were present on all the crafts.

Large caravan of UFO's appear in night sky over Marietta Ga.

I was standing at my back door getting some fresh air,it was a cold and clear night with minimal wind, when I noticed a large and very bright object to my west, it hadn't been there a moment before, as I had been standing there watching the last bit of sun fall off the horizon, The object appeared just above the tree line. It was not a star, it was to low on the horizon. I watched it carefully to see if it moved, like a plane or helicopter, anything, but it didn't move, it just hovered for several minutes. It was very large and very bright. Then suddenly the object split into two, and one part began to fly off to the south. After a few minutes the second object followed. I visually followed the first object and watched it fly at a high rate of speed due south, then it abruptly turned right and flew straight up until it disappeared. The second object followed the same southerly path, but did not turn right. I thought it was over. I was very wrong. Next, I once again saw another object manifest itself in roughly the same spot. This object again split and instead of immediately flying south, three objects hovered over to the left of the main "ship." Over the next 2.5 hours, myself, my son and my husband all witnessed something, I can not even believe really happened. I watched as these "UFO's" manifested themselves out of thin air one after the other, they would hover for several moments then fly due south. It was like a caravan of UFO's, as I looked back to the North from where the original UFO had appeared, I literally witnessed one after the other flying in the same direction about the same distance apart from each other. They were all the same colors and seemed to be the same shape. We counted roughly 40-50 UFO's total over that 2.5 hour period of time. I do not have access to anything stronger than a pair of binoculars, but those were enough to see what I needed to see. I saw a ring with bright alternating colors of blu! e, green, red and yellow lights flashing, they made no noise o! r sound and all of them followed the same path. They appeared to change shape( looking fuller while hovering, then flattening out while flying).

At first they seemed to have some sort of bubble on the front of the craft, then they turned flat and rotated and at other times they seemed to have some sort of tail (all of these assessments of exact shape are from the photos). I was able to take pictures and some video.

What I witnessed was amazing, as well as, terrifying. I know my life is forever changed from this experience and would love some feedback or any insight. Thank in advance for your help.

I was driving southbound on interstate 75 after work.

I looked up in the sky about halfway between 0and zenith and there was what appeared to be an oval shaped golden beige craft hovering still on the sky about a mile out. It stayed there for about five minutes. I knew it was there because the sun reflected light off of it.

Within a two second time frame the craft began to disappear from left to right and then it was gone almost as if it knew it had been spotted. Very strange.

bright orange sphere in the sky

Last night around midnight, I was out smoking on my deck. I saw a bright orange sphere come from the east. I saw it through the trees as it broke the plane of my tree line. It was a bright vivid orange color. It slowly changed directions and curved to the left. It was a gradual change in direction. It followed the top of my tree line as clear as could be. then it slowly changed direction again toward the west and eventually passed below my tree line. I estimate this object to be about 3-7 miles away, it was hard to tell. The way it moved was very smooth almost gliding like...no speratic shifts or jerking.. For as far away as it was, it still had a good size to it. There was no wind outside and it was absolutely silent. I am 40 years old. I would consider myself a skeptic to things like this. I am not saying that it was an alien life form, but I am saying that is was nothing like I had ever seen and I could not even begin to guess at what it could have been . I am interested to see if anyone else saw what I saw last night.

At 10:15pm July 21, 2012 driving in east cobb area of marietta, Georgia, on Lower Roswell and Johnsons Ferry roads I observed 15 very low hovering objects above the treeline with intensely orange lights on top that glowed upward they were so bright making it look as if they were fireballs . They were obviously not helicopters as they made no sound. You could clearly make out the rounded shape of the craft on the bottom half. They were in a straight line formation with the last 4 in a circular pattern. I pulled over and observed them for about 5 minutes and then drove on.

Green Fireball in my neighborhood

My brother and I were running outside at night and after our jog we always do some push ups and crunches in the street near my driveway. After finishing my crunches I laid there on the road and I looked at the sky then looked behind me and to my right and saw a green fiery ball coming down almost looking like it landed in my neighbors yard. We tried to get close and see if it landed but his whole yard is fenced and I couldn’t see in the back yard. I first thought it was a shooting star but there’s no way, it was WAY to close. It almost looked like fireworks but there are no kids in my neighborhood and especially not in the house that it landed behind. We couldn’t even hear people talking. It was dead silent. This is the 2nd time I’ve witnessed this green fiery ball but never this close. The first time was in my girlfriend’s neighborhood in Acworth, GA but it was a lot further in the sky, but again you could tell it was NOT a shooting star, and it was definitely not fireworks because of the length and size of it. Not to mention it was GREEN and it was FAST.

Three orange lights in sky on New Year's Eve in Marietta, GA

Shortly after midnight, we observed three bright orange lights in the sky. At first, it appeared as if they were helicopters, but there was no sound, they didn't have red or green navigational lights, and the lights were bright orange, not white.

Given the date and time, one may easily dismiss these lights as part of a fireworks display, etc. However, the lights were clearly not fireworks, as there was no fireworks display in the area, the lights moved completely across the sky in perfect formation - one right after the other. They also didn't dissipate or lose altitude, as is common with fireworks, flares, chaff, or skydivers with lights.

The second witness with me thought that the lights were only about one hundred feet in the air, or slightly above the tree top level. I, however, believe they were at least 1000 feet high.

These were three separate lights moving slowly from west to east, and then north and out of sight. This was a very strange way to bring in the New Year.

Brilliant white object over Marietta GA

Friday evening in Marietta, GA the sky was extremely clear. The sky was full of stars. Noticied object with bright lighting in the sky around 2:00 a.m. Saturday morning. Object appeared to turn in different angles and also could move fast. It is hard to say how far in the air the object was located. This object hovered above in the sky for over three hours. Lighting very bright white and it almost looked as if at times it had lights coming down.

I also noticed smaller objects a couple of times around the object headed towards the object and those disappeared. I took several pictures and also recorded videos.

After reviewing the pictures on my cell phone it is clear that the object was changing angles in the sky. One looks round, one looks almost boomerang shaped. Object did not land and I was not able to stay awake long enough to see it leave or disappear. I watched the object until after 5:00 a.m. Saturday morning.

We suspect a sighting of a "twinkling" star. PD

Black triangle hovering in one spot with one red light on a corner and white lights on the others.

Thursday, July 8th, 2010.

I would have reported this earlier, but I wanted to do a little research first. I was driving home from a gathering with friends in Marietta, Georgia. The time was approximately 10:30 PM and I was traveling west on Whitlock just before Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield Park, when I noticed a large, black rectangular object hovering just above the tree line. It had one red light on the corner and two white lights on the other corners. I had the window down and I didn’t hear any noise. As I reached the park, I could see that it was actually hovering at the tree line on the edge of the park. What had initially caught my attention was that it was not moving at all. I turned around after I passed the park to get another look, but the object was gone. We are near Lockheed, so I thought perhaps it was an experimental craft of some sort, if they perhaps have some kind of silent craft capable of hovering in one spot. I thought I’d go ahead and report it since it didn’t fit anything I’d ever seen.

Circular space craft with large light in center and small surrounding circular lights seen hoovering near I-77

On September 13, 2009 we were driving from North Carolina to Canton, OH. At approximately 12:30 am we witnessed a UFO on I-77 North near the Marietta exit. Prior to the sighting we were starring at the stars in amazement. The sky was absolutely clear; you could see stars for miles. The moon was not out at this time.

The driver said, “Hey what is that? Its huge.” Then the passenger in the rear was overwhelmed by the size and said, “That’s a UFO”. At that time, I stuck my head out the sunroof to witness this. The UFO was hovering above the tree line. It had a disk like shape and a large circular light in the center of the spacecraft and smaller circles lights surrounding the one in the center. We were all absolutely amazed and excited. We asked each other what we had seen and each description was the same.

We continued driving and as the road curved the moon appeared out of nowhere to our right. It was a crescent shape but it was so low to the ground. It could have been hiding behind the trees during our commute but it was strange how after the sighting it appeared out of nowhere.

Procession of moving stars in an otherwise clear *still* night sky.

Was outside looking up into the night sky and saw the Little Dipper and a few other stars. It was a very clear night and I was just admiring ... I came back into my apartment and told my wife what a pretty night it was. I walked out onto our balcony to sit and relax and again I looked up toward the Little Dipper and was shocked! There were MANY other "stars" and these were "moving" from west to east and a pretty good speed. I fixed my eyes on a Star that remained stationary and yes, there were many other *stars moving* I immediately yelled for my wife to come out and to bring the video camera. She hurried out and looked up (OMG!) She tried to turn on the camera but the damn batteries were dead. So we just watched. I counted 14 *stars* but I don't know how many had passed before I noticed them.

It was a long staggerd procession of "stars moving* at a pretty good pace. There were *NO* blinking lights and *NO* sound heard as they passed or after they had passed. I picked "Formation" because they weren't flying all over the place. They were *going* somewhere.

Once they passed, the sky appeared as it did before except it seemed quite empty now. I was left with a very uneasy feeling because to me, it seemed like an invasion but, that's just the impression I got from this experience. I didn't like it.

I've asked my wife several times since, if that really happened and she is quite sure we did. I guess in a society where we're taught not to believe in such things makes me feel even more un-easy now. My wife and I saw these *stars moving* across the sky just as sure as we see what we see everywhere else with our eyes.

I don't know what more I could tell you but that I am much more *alert* to the sky when I go outside both night and during the day.

Saturday April 04/2009 around 12:30 pm - Atlanta Georgia. Weather clear, sunny, and blue sky's.

While working in the yard (north side) I was watching two commercial jets as they were flying over the Atlanta / Marietta area, at a (high altitude w/ com trails) clearly not local Hartsfield traffic.

I noticed a shiny round / spherical object at a higher altitude then the two intersecting commercial jets. The object did not appear to be moving a first but after observing it for a moment or two I realized it was tracking very slowly from north to south/west.

After a few minutes I went for the binoculars and was only able to view it for a moment before losing track of it. I could not tell any details other then realized it was larger and still metallic looking.

Big Object In the sky in Georgia (North-West of Atlanta) In Late July 2008

While traveling to work on Cobb Parkway north bound at the I-285 junction overpass just outside of Atlanta, Georgia in the Marietta city limits I saw in the direction north of Kennasaw Mountain a large object in the sky shape like a large unfamiliar type ship. The front was triangle or pointed in shape with the rear blocked or square in sharp and the center was rectangle with a ark like shape. It was tilted in a 35-45 degree angle with no movement. The color was a metallic dark gray. The object remained stationary in the air for several minutes. It had no vapor trail. It just remained in the air suspended. I know I was not the only person who saw it due to it not being dark and there was a fair amount of cars heading in the same direction on Hwy 41 plus it was so obvious. At first you would think it was a blimp and I was hoping it was but it wasn't. I never seen a blimp shape like a block shape battle ship. Whatever it was it was large, heavy, and solid. It was just hanging there like it was docking calm and peaceful. No movement at all. I just watched it as I was alert enough to avoid not hitting another cars at the light. wondering when or if it was going to move. After I stopped and got my lunch for the evening and at local restaurant when I can out it was gone with no vapor trail that hinted in its direction of travel. If the U.S. has something like that in its garage tax payers need to be mad and ask for an goverment audit. We have technology but we don't have that type of technology yet. This thing was amazing.

U.F.O. over or very near Dobbings Airforce Base in Marietta, GA. with multi color changing lights.

n early Sunday morning, May 5th, around 4:00 AM, I witnessed a u.f.o; this object was absolutely not a commercial or private airplane. The movement of this vehicle and the color scheme of it's lights ruled out any possibility of man made classification unless top secret. I was star gazing for a couple of hours prior to this experience. A friend of mine was also looking at stars and planets; both of us were using telescopes. Around 4:00 or so, a bright round object north west of my location caught my attention. The area and placement of this immediately struck me as very unusual. I grabbed my binoculars and focused in on it. The craft seemed to be changing colors in sort of a loop fashion; repeating. At first, this color dancing thing led me to believe I was looking at a certain object that I've seen many times prior with similar color change pattern. After just a few seconds I realized this object was not anything I'd seen based on the intense colors being emitted in a pattern or loop and also how it was moving.

I feel the object was more round than anything else; the color behavior held my attention greatly.

Please let me know if anyone else reported a sighting on this date or any other over this area I will email a picture of my viewpoint and where the u.f.o. was exactly.

P.S. I'm a 31 year old male native to Atlanta,Georgia. I have a degree in network administration.

I Iive on the 18 floor(top) of a building in "Buckhead". The view is spectacular.

I can see the downtown Atlanta area plus,4 other counties. I've spent many nights star gazing on this roof and I've never seen anything even remotely close to this.

MUFON of Georgia Investigation-Massive Rectangular Craft Low Over Marietta Georgia

Contact with the witness in this case was established by this SD immediately following it's posting to CMS. Steve Bass, now SSD/FI in Cumming Georgia, was assigned to assist in the investigation.

Investigative chores and additional contact with the witness were on-going from mid-April through June and July of 2008. Various authorities and media were contacted during the administrative phase, to include; FAA; Dobbins ARB Public Affairs; Marietta Daily Journal; Atlanta Journal Constitution; NORAD Public Affairs; the Marietta Police Dept; No corroborative information was forthcoming from any of these agencies. NORAD specifically reported that no anomalies had been noted in the area in question. A FOIA against the FAA filed by FI Bass produced a letter of negative findings from the Director, ATO Eastern Service Center, FAA.

Sheets/Bass conducted an on-site interview with the witness on 20May08, as well as a site survey of the neighborhood.

Steve Bass also conducted an interview with the second witness (an across-the-street neighbor) who, unknown to the Primary Witness at the time, observed the event from outside of his home on 29March08. Please note that this event was not reported by the PW until 14 days after it's occurrence.

Interview with the Primary Witness (PW): We met the witness at his residence in Marietta, an extremely well kept home, the contents of which demonstrated superior tastes in decorating and living environment. The witness was found to possess a broad scientific background, well educated and well spoken. PW holds USAF certifications that would probably equal an Associates Degree in Electronics (radio, navigation, and radar), as well as aviation training to pilot a Cessna aircraft. Additional advanced education includes a BS in Biochemistry from Purdue and a Masters in Business, also from Purdue. He is presently retired from the largest computer firm in the world, and indicates travel to more than 40 countries during his active career. His wife of many years is still actively engaged in the business world.

These investigators found that the described event (as well as two previous encounters with unknown objects) had greatly affected the PW. He had become HIGHLY motivated to seek answers to what was observed, and began a vigorous pursuit of various areas of research immediately after 29March08. (Note-The PW has now obtained his MUFON FI's credentials and has become a valuable asset in MUFONGA operations in the area of Cobb County Georgia).

The witness recounted the facts he described in his CMS report and different areas were refined by these FIs with additional questions.

PW said that upon first observation of the lights at about 10:30PM, it was as if he was observing a 'descent'. As the event unfolded, he attempted to see beyond the lighting configuration to get the details of exactly what was over his property, but was unable to determine any actual structural detail due to the darkness and obvious dark coloration of the object itself. Gathered from this interview, it is obvious the PW seemed to have had a certain 'calling' as FI Bass describes it. A 'calling' to go out and check his mail, then something that drew his attention to the sky and the subsequent observations and hearing of the described low 'winding down', jet engine-like sound. During said observations, the PW was himself mystified by his conduct and other side issues........that the tree branches overhead in the location to which he had rushed should have been noticeable during the event, but it was if he was looking up with no branches in evidence. Thereafter he lost interest, as if it 'was over' and the lights/object began to move away, but he then became, and remains, extremely motivated to delve into this and other such mysteries. (See witness account field). PW said he determined there was no missing time related to the occurrence.

While some might not understand the 'unusual' feelings attributed to this matter, this writer (Sheets) has experienced the exact same conditions prior to a surprise observation of a major unknown aerial event. In 1997, the writer was investigating two substantial cases; one in Lagrange Georgia within Georgia's infamous 'Troup-Heard UFO Corridor'; and in south Georgia, a series of night reports from law enforcement officials in Jeff Davis County. The Lagrange investigation was arranged for a certain day, and upon grabbing my FI's kit and walking out the door, the writer felt a certain 'calling' (a VERY strong urge) to INSTANTLY and INEXPLICABLY change plans and drive 150+ miles to Jeff Davis County and work on those cases, which had actually been scheduled for the NEXT WEEK. A tense, expectant sensation pervaded the whole drive down to south Georgia........said feelings and sensations ENDING immediately after observation of a dramatic, unknown, night-time aerial display in the area of Jeff Davis County (as if "well, it's over, that's it"). Thus, a better understanding of the feelings and motivations of the PW. After reviewing all of the circumstances involved in this case, there seems to be some sort of unknown influence at work in this matter. Is this witness, as well as others, more sensitive or more attuned to anomalies in our environment? I would say yes. Do some true 'unknowns', perhaps controlled or generated by an unseen intelligence, project some sort of subtle communication that can be perceived by such sensitive individuals as our PW, or perceived by others known to this writer both within and without MUFON, and perceived by the writer himself? I would say yes. Do some unknown objects project an unusual 'zone' as they hover or move........a zone created by electromagnetic fields, ionization, propulsion, or some other mechanism......giving effects that can influence those nearby? Again I would say yes. In past years, this FI has encountered other case witnesses who have reacted in a similar way, ! some eve ntually joining MUFON and making valuable contributions to our effort, and others not joining the chapter, but remaining 'friends' of MUFON for many years. Finally, might some form of 'telepathy' also be involved in such cases? Perhaps.

On 20May08, photographs and an event-scene diagram were made, and FI Steve Bass conducted an in-depth interview with the second (separated) witness in this case at his residence across the street from the PW's home.

From FI Bass' field notes and interview: The second witness (W2) was found to be the mature male homeowner across the street from PW. He is a former aircraft mechanic for defense contractor Lockheed of Marietta, and also a former Lockheed buyer who is ten credit hours away from his Masters in Accounting. In addition to this interview, W2 also provided a sketch of what he observed on the night of 29March08, superimposed onto a printed blow-up photo of PW's home and property. (See photo and sketch). This witness indicates in margin notes on his sketch that he is familiar (due to his past occupation) with the C-5, C-141, C-130, F-16, F-22, DC-9 and other aircraft which fly out of nearby Dobbins ARB.

W2 stated that it was a quiet night in the neighborhood with no one out and about, little traffic, no barking dogs. He stepped outside of his garage to smoke a cigarette between 9 and 10:00PM. He then looked to the east, then ESE, and observed the object in the sky blocking his vision across the street, flying slow and low, right to left, and was about 30 degrees off of the horizon, perhaps about 500 to 1000 feet above ground level. He heard no noise nor saw any lights, and indicated the duration was about 10-20 seconds. Moving at very slow speed, it disappeared to the north, finally about 10-20 degrees above the horizon of the adjacent National Forest. He is of the opinion that it looked brown to him, and as it moved off he got his only look at a more distinct outline, the portion he saw looking like a 'submarine'. W2 said he was surprised and excited and considered calling his neighbor (the PW) but did not, feeling he might already be in bed (he did not know at the time that his neighbor, the PW, had been outside and also made the observation, although from a different angle). An additional conundrum involving W2 is the fact that he was outside in order to smoke a cigarette. FI Bass determined that W2 'lit-up' IMMEDIATELY prior to seeing the object, Bass then inquiring where he was on the cigarette when the object had disappeared. W2 replied that he had finished it, which would have taken at least 5 minutes, 10 minutes max..........however W2's event duration was described as being 10-20 seconds. Is W2 just mistaken about the cigarette time sequence? Was some sort of time distortion in play i.e. the close proximity of the object projecting an influence over W2? Is this an example of missing time? This matter was not resolved........there were just no firm conclusions in this cigarette vs. time issue.

FI Bass continued his commentary regarding W2.....throughout the interview, W2 was relaxed and nonchalant and did not go for a 'more amazing story'. He sometimes searched for the correct words, speaking slowly, and did not appear confused nor did he go on tangents while talking i.e. staying on the subject at hand.

It should be noted here that W2 has been diagnosed with brain cancer, but it seemed not to have been at the stage that affected his thinking or perception very much, if at all. Upon the FIs arrival on 20May08, he was busily at work in his garage tinkering with a lawn mower on his shop bench, and thereafter conversed well with these FIs prior to his official statement to FI Bass. FI Bass' comments regarding the witness are to the effect that this condition "seems to mildly affect concentration", but W2 is still "articulate, intelligent, easily understood, relaxed demeanor, humorous and matter-of-fact".

It is obvious to these investigators that from the credibility of the two separated witnesses and all of their supportive documents and sketches, and from our investigative findings, that an object from unknown origins overflew low and slow the Marietta Georgia property of the PW on 29March08 at about 10:30PM. Said object was MASSIVE in size, with the PRECISE shape undetermined due to darkness but believed to be rectangular, and containing an array of lights as described and obviously making the bizarre low sound as heard by the PW.

From the PW and W2 sketches, photographs made on-site, and other diagrams, this writer feels that while the PRECISE shape is unknown, the size of this massive object might be as large as a football field 300'x160'. Though from W2's description of it flying away and presenting a "submarine" like appearance, it indeed could have been a geometric shape or a rectangle as seen in profile. Again, it was dark and the objects surface was also dark except for the lights observed by the PW.

Note: This event occurred about four (4) miles WNW of Dobbins Air Reserve Base, which also houses the defense contractor offices and factory of Lockheed-Martin. (The home of the PW is in a direct line almost exactly four miles WNW of the westerly end of the Dobbins main runway). Both the military and Lockheed utilize the common air facility. In recent months, MUFONGA has received some additional unsubstantiated information about 'unusual' aerial sightings in that vicinity. FI Bass, with knowledge gained from his aviation work and a review of certain public resources related to this facility, found some possible unusual features within the said compound. It has been found that the Lockheed portion of the compound is PARTICULARLY tight in it's security, which is as it should be for a defense contractor. However these other factors causes one to wonder exactly how forthright is the official response when we seek information regarding things occurring on the doorstep of Dobbins ARB and environs.

BGE; Information Quality 100%=1; Reliability 74%=0.74; Strangeness 14.286%=0.14286; Certainty Index 10.58%=0.1058.

Due to these aforementioned factors, this case is classified as an 'Unknown-UAV'.

Many photos, diagrams, sketches, maps and other official documents were generated by this investigation, too numerous for posting on CMS. The most descriptive and vital of these documents will be electronically attached and the remainder saved in the physical file.

flashing blue-green lights in marietta,ga

Around 6:15 am Myself and a friend saw a blue-green cricular light with orbs around it flash outside of a window for about 10 seconds. It appeared as if it was right on the other side of the window. It didn't move- just a ppeared, flashed, and disappeared. My boyfriend was not directly in front of the window but heard a humming and felt a vibration. When we walked outside by the window nothing was there. It was very windy and had been raining. We went out the front door and my boyfriend saw the sky light up wit a blue-green light, but didn't see a specific object. The next door neighbor felt a strong vibration in her bedroom and saw a flashing light.
