Didn't realize what I captured until looking at photos

I was a passenger in a moving vehicle and I was taking a picture of the sunset in Iowa and I took two pictures back to back and when I looked at the second picture days later I noticed an object in the picture that was not in the first picture nor was it in the distance of the area I was photographing. It looks as if there is a rectangular three-dimensional platform and a dark shadow that descends in the shape of a cone

I noticed an object hovering in the air and took a picture. I mention multiple witnesses as I was on a plane with my squadron and only guess they must've seen it too. Sighting was never mentioned due to ridicule.

Time felt missing, far more than just simply being on a 4 hour flight.

Left Ohio heading to Connecticut. Heading towards New York border 1:30 a.m. on a lonely Highway just after rainstorm. Came around a Ben

Coming from Ohio to Connecticut. 40 miles from New York Border in pennsylvania. Unsure of where we were. Came around the corner on this highway after a rainstorm 1:30 a.m.. myself my wife and kids. Kids were asleep. As we came around the corner we were no less than 100 feet from this craft. It was massive. Overhung the highway over this Valley and it was way over 100 ft wide. I am a former helicopter mechanic and I know a bit about aviation. This thing had Square Windows. Each window was approximately 3 ft by 3 ft and it was at least 16 to 18 across and the same across the upper level as well. We had complete paralysis as the car came to a stall. All we could do is move our eyes and saw 45 beings out of peripheral. Gray one piece outfits on. There were many components on the outside of this craft that were attached. A peach colored light emitted from each window but we were looking upwards kind of towards the craft so could not see directly in but only the ceiling of each level basically. I have seen UFO since I was a child and approximately every 3 to 5 years I see one usually with family or friends present. I believe this thing knew I was there or on my way around that corner. We will woke up 5 Mi away an hour and a half later on an exit completely stirred and shaken. There's no doubt in my mind my family and I were abducted that night and dropped back off. I would like to do hypnotic regression. The thought of it makes me nervous thinking back on it. This is an absolutely 100% true story and I would take a lie detector test if need be.

im a passenger riding with my boyfriend who drives a freightliner. On 11.17.19 we were driving through Utah and Idaho at night time. We were on our way to Washington state for a pick-up.

Im not sure which city or state it was either Utah or idaho but we both saw an object in space looking somewhat like a rocket with bright red florescent streams behind it. It was super bright and traveled at super fast speeds we saw it for about 2 seconds then it was gone. It didn't just disappear it was more like on a destination somewhere. But it was something i never saw and something strang.

A black tube, surrounded by blue lightning, shot across the sky and disappeared with a flash and an electrical surge.

I was 15 miles past the border of Mississippi heading north on 1-10, at approximately 2:23am. I had the top down on my car, and was admiring the stars-- There were more than I had ever seen in the sky. The Milky Way had never been so clear in the sky.

I saw something that looked like a HUGE comet-- at first.

I saw a black tube, surrounded by blue lightning, surrounded by black and white as if the very sky had been torn open. It shot upwards, growing bigger, until it disappeared with a flash! I FELT that flash, like an electromagnetic wave. It was so big and bright, all the other stars seemed to be drowned out by it.

It all happened in about a second-- Long enough for me to scream "whaa--AAAHH!" And I did scream. I screamed and had to pull over, the experience was so moving and powerful.

Fireball seen over I-195 in NJ, coming down at incredible rate of speed.

My wife and i were driving west on I195 near exit 22 at approx 10:15 pm when what looked tobe a flaming object (torch like) appeared in the night sky crossing an estimated quarter mile in front of us.

It was travelling at an incredible rate of speed. (1000+mph?). It was far enough in front of us that i never considered reducing my driving speed, but vanished behind the trees along the highway in a matter of seconds. It was heading on a steep angle toward the ground

My wife and I both saw it. Impossible to miss given the brightness and proximity of the object. I expected to hear a crash and/or see a fireball explosion but no sound or visible sight of a crash occurred.

I watched the light turn a really bright orange and then both the strange light and the headlights were gone.

My girlfriend and I saw a large cigar shaped object coming home from college around 12.

My girlfriend and I were driving down interstate 70 around 11:30-12:00 when we noticed a large cigar shapped light to our right coming down from the sky behind a line of trees. At first we asked ourselves, "what was that?" I was on the phone with my mother as we were coming home from college when my girlfriend yelled aloud multiple times, "what is that?! What is that?!" The object which appeared around 20ft in circumference which lied behind a line of trees to our right. The object appeared a extremely bright white light; almost the luminosity of an extremely bright star. It remained stationary, did not move whatsoever, and the back roads of Fulton County is pitch Black and has no sort of artifical lighting. As we passed the object and proceeded under an underpass I looked into my rearview mirror to get a second glance at the object to see absolutely nothing. My girlfriend and I were dumbstruck. Coming from someone who does not believe in the paranormal, I m! ight be changing my mind.

On August 15, 2011, a little past midday while headed northbound on I55 thru Central Missippi, The newly installed DashCamera Video Data Recorder started to go thru some strange changes, the image was wavey and shakey, somewhat like going thru a "FunHouse of Mirrors" which were all distorted severly, normaly considered "JUNK" unless the meaning was to "JOKE" on them../ So, the image was severly distorted and what appeared was this moving object at very high speed, too fast for the human eye to discern, but was noticed on SLOW MOTION play back, which revieled a Round to Egg shaped object speeding down the median of the interstate traveling southbound. The object looked grey in color with some darker trim. There were neither sound nor chase planes following this speedster.. Complete stelth, personified.

viewed only for seconds-red glowing light on the surface of the water

On Monday, April 4, 2011 at about 6:00 pm, I saw a round, red glowing light in a body of water while flying to D.C. from Atlanta GA. Flight was about 15 minutes from landing in D.C. I could clearly see houses from above and their pools quite closely.

My aircraft must have been over Virginia and the body of water must have been the Potomac. I looked out of the window and saw the red light in the water, not that far from the land, but in deep water-after staring at it for about 5 seconds it disappeared. I was not a boat or a light house, just a large glowing red light.

4 dark orbs emitting contrail somewhere over southern california

Unfortunately, I do not know the exact location of the sighting since we were on an airplane from Cabo San Lucas to LAX. It was about 30 minutes to our arrival at LAX.

I was looking at an unusual cloud formation that looked like a a contrail of some sort, that was nearly parallel in height to the jet plane we were in. The white contrail at first just seemed to stop, which is why I thought it was just a cloud formation. My daughter was in the window seat, so I asked her to look out the window and tell me if she saw anything unusual. We both stared out the window and she said she saw 4 dark circles that seemed to be in a boomerang formation. While she is saying this, I realized that the contrail didn't just end, it WAS behind 4 dark circles.

Whatever it was, it was flying slower than the plane, so we had had to strain to continue to see it. Neither of us thought to get a camera and take a picture of it. It did not appear to be that far away and the circles seemed to be about the size of a thumbnail at arms length. They were large enough, that if it had been a plane, we should have been able to see some detail, like wings and a fuselage, but they were just dark circles. It was strange.

Maybe there is a completely mundane explanation for what we saw, but it wasn't like anything I recognized. I was hoping that someone else might have reported seeing something, because it did appear we were over a populated area. You could see roads, houses, reservoirs, etc...

We were flying to Ontario, California from Atlanta, Georgia and were about 1 1/2 hours away from landing. My guess is we were over New Mexico and I believe we were flying at 34,000 feet. I was sitting in a window seat on the right side of the airplane in the very last row. The movie had just ended and I raised my window shutter to look out.

I was amazed to see a shiny aluminum-appearing cylinder, approx. 60 feet long and 10-15 feet wide, pass under the plane from left to right at a 45% angle to the airplane. It appeared to fly under the plane at approximately two to three hundred feet.

The skin of the object had a shiny brushed aluminum appearance, almost like a new un-painted airplane except it had no wings or port holes of any kind. It also had a rounded nose and back and the back of the craft was black in color.

After passing under the plane, it made a sudden jog (no curving or sweeping motion) to the left and shot off in a Northerly direction away from the plane. I was so stunned that I kept thinking over and over "they are real!"

it was a metalic silver looking object with black in the center semi circular in shape

We were taking pictures of a mountain with snow on top and clouds all around coming out of New Mexico into Arizona.

there were twelve spectrum organized spherical shapes that distorted my perception of distance

there were twleve glowing spheres, they were orginized into the visible light color spectrum. they were either very small and close, or very far away. my perception of distant was very distorted. i ran to my car to get mt camera, but it seemed like i couldnt get to my car, the car was not far away, but it seemed very far away. when i looked back at the spheres i saw that none of them had color anymore, i rubbed my eyes to see if it was me, and the spheres began to fade away, in about ten seconds they were gone.

Hi Fileing this report this way because your form do not apply.

Continental Flight 1741Y Mexico City to Newark 31. august 2005 Seat 10F About 1 pm

We had just passed the delta of the Mississippi River and the captain informed us that the descent to Newark had started. The time was a little over one o’clock in the afternoon local time.

I was sitting half a sleep in my seat looking out of the window when a strange object passed in a distance besides the wing of our plane. My brain was at 50% capacity. A strange kind of "bug," I thought. A "bug" in the sky? The "bug" slid parallel to the plane and was in sight for about 5 to 7 seconds.

Then it got to me. It was no "bug," but a dark silhouette of a rectangular object that looked like a coffin with a zigzag halo around it that was darker in color then sky.

The TV monitor showed the ground speed to be about 800 kmh and 40000 feet above ground (I could not remember exact data).

There was no reference point so it was impossible to determine the size and distance of the object. The question is now, what did I saw? A balloon at a ground speed a little lowers then the plane or a new secret flying device of some kind patrolling the airspace over the US? It is everyone’s guess.

If the pilots have been awake in the cockpit they to must have seen the object passing by. Has someone else on this flight seen the object. Please come forward, if you have?

The attached photo is manipulated in Photoshop to illustrate my observation. The clouds are part of the storm that hit New Orleans so bad.

The object could be the same that was observed on Wednesday afternoon, July 13, 2005 in the Seattle area. It has the same memo.

I never expected to see a UFO look like as described.

A pale orange vertical cylinder object seen on an America West flight.

I was flying back from North Carolina to Arizona on July 21st 2005. The flight took off around 5pm EST from Raleigh Durham on America West. I think the flight number was 844. About 3 hours into the trip (I assume maybe somewhere around Texas area but I really dont know for sure) I saw an object out the window. The sun was still up and there were scattered clouds. My plane was flying arounnd 33,000 feet. This object was above a section of clouds (not in the clouds but a cloud bank formed a backgroud). So the object was definately not on the ground and if I had to guess I would say it was maybe 1/3rd the distance to the ground from us so it was flying at about 20,000 feet.

The object appeared as a cylinder shape, its surface was slighlty reflective it sort of appeared metallic but it was at an extreme range to me so I dont know for sure. The objects color was sort of a light/pale orange color or possibly light biege. The color was uniform across the object. I saw it for around 10-20 secs. The object appeared to be static. It did not move and seemed to be fixed in the sky appearing to move at exactly the same speed as all of the surrounding clouds. The other thing that was very odd was that unlike a plane that would fly in a horizontal positon the cylinder was vertical. If it was a plane it should have been moving downward at a rapid speed, if it was climbing Im not sure it could have kept that up for 10-20 secs and in either case it didnt appear to be moving at all. The distance was too great for me to descern any details like wings, designs, etc. It just looked like a very small cylinder or possibly a cigar shaped object. There were no visable ballons or anything like that above it.

Most everyone else was watching a movie on the plane with the windows closed so I doubt anyone else saw it. The pilots probably saw it. I was sitting on the left side of the plane (if one is sitting down facing foward towards the front of the plane I was on the left side).

I am a systems engineer for a major semi-conductor company and I was flying on a business trip that day. I am also an amatuer astronmer and I have spent a lot of time looking at the sky. I dont know what this thing was but I am pretty confident it was not a standard plane. It could have been something the government was doing or it could be something else.

On a highway driving home to Colorado from vacationing in Georgia, my partner and I again spotted a silver orb in the distance in the early evening. This time the object seemed to have disappeared and in a blink of an eye was about 500 feet above and in front of our vehicle. It seemed like a flash frame, it was far away then right above, as if it were trying to see us. Just like that it was far away again, then disappeared for good. It felt as though it had tracked us from Georgia and wanted us to see it. It seemed to have green lights when it came close, but like I said it happened so fast that it was only a split second, and the human eye cannot seem to catch a good look in such a small time. Truly amazing! The only camera I had was disposable and the photo I tried to take didn't even collect any traces of an image, it was so far away.

an airplane figure was seen, after stopping the head lights started to flicker

OK, not sure exactly if this was a ufo sighting because I am skeptical but, me and my g/f where driving through kansas, a little lost because we had just left oklahoma and drove until we got to Independence. Sometime after that around Winfeild she pounted out what she beleived to be a ufo, which I still beleive was a plain with two blinking lights on what would have been the wings and one in the middle. She said she had seen it for some time and it hadn't moved (give or take an hour or 2 that we where trying to find our way down those back roads) I couldn't see it so I stopped and got out and had her point it out, it still looked like a plain and was headed pretty fast opposite the direction we where driving. We get back in and head down the road and converse back and forth about it until are lights start flickering and going off, they did that for about 10 mins off and on until I turned the brights off and spead the car up, later down the road it happened again, and again an hour later. It hasn't happened since. The car is a '91 mercury cougar if it helps any and there was a digital clock but it was unaffected. Nothing else was effected by the lights and we where about 15 miles from a town both ways when it first happened. The radio was going, the heater was going, the car didn't act up nothing except those lights which is scary when your stuck in the middle of no where with no light and not sure how far from home you are, eithere way I'd appreciate any knowledge anyone can share on this

THIS WAS A MASSIVE MOTHERSHIP AND I HOPE PEOPLE BELIEVE WHAT WE SAW BECAUSE THESE CRAFT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MADE HERE ON EARTH

My wife, myself, and our two kids were heading out of Ohio towards Pennsylvania.
as we drove through Pa., it was raining, but had recently stopped. It was 1:35A.M.. I was driving, and the wife was in the passenger seat. The kids were in the back, about 2 hours into Pa. It was very dark, and we were the only ones on the road, except an occasional trucker.

As we came around a bend in the highway, it was a very long stretch of straight road. As we rounded the bend, up ahead about 1/4 of a mile, was a massive craft hovering over the road. I mean huge. It was in my best estimate approx. a 1/4 mile wide. It had lights everywhere going around it. It had 2 levels, one above the other. Oddly, it had square windows and you could see inside the craft. I ccounted about 30 windows above and the same on the lower deck. The lights inside were seen from every window. It was a very soft pink light. I have never seen that color in my life. It was a beautiful thing to see. In my mind, it wanted us to see it.

My wife and I leaned forward as I yelled for the kids. The 4 of us just sat there in awe. It was huge. Bigger than the craft on Close Encounters. The lights outside were erratic but so beautiful.It was there I would say 30 seconds and it was gone. I asked my wife to verify what just happened and sure enough. The strange thing is that we live in Ct. and I have no memory of it being discussed all the way home. It was as if we were in a trance. I talk about it occasionally but I get laughed at. The 4 of us saw this. I can't say this enough, this craft would dwarf a football stadium easily. We saw into the craft but saw nobody walking about. It was so beautiful. WOW!!

For about 3 minutes I witnessed a very bright light following our TWA flight #139 on Apr 17th 2001 at 8:15 PM

I was on TWA flight #139 which departed from Orlando FL at 7:45 PM to St Louis MO. We were traveling in a northwestern direction near the south Georgia border around 8:15 PM, when I looked out the window at the clear blue sky and at about 2 o'clock, about 2000 feet above us, suddenly appeared a very bright light. It seemed to be stationary and several thousand feet away, I watched it for about about 3 minutes. It did not move in relationship with our aircraft. I had unbuckled my seat belt to get a better look when the stewardess told me to refasten my belt. In that brief moment that I looked at the stewardess and then looked back out the window, the UFO had disappeared. At 8:22 it reappeared about 50 to 100 miles away! It was much smaller now, very close to the horizion and I could see that it was moving very fast, it was not leaving a vapor trail but it was still glowing very bright. We were coming up on a thunderhead and our flight went to the left of it. The UFO went to the right of the thunderhead at 8:25 PM. When we got around it the UFO was gone and I never saw it again. At 8:30 PM another airliner passed about 2000 feet below us, this winged aircraft was plainly visible and not the same type of craft I had just witnessed.

BRIGHT GREEN OBJECT THAT WAS DESENDING IN THE SKY AS IT GLOWED A BRIGHT GREEN COLOR THEN FADED OUT.

I WAS TRAVELING ON STATE HIGHWAY 121 IN FLORIDA. THE STRETCH OF ROAD THAT I WAS ON WAS AFTER I GOT OFF I-75 IN GAINSVILLE AND HEADED NORTH ON 121, BUT BEFORE I CROSSED THE STATE LINE. AS I WAS TRAVLING I NOTICED AN OBJECT IN THE SKY THAT WAS GLOWING (IT REALLY LOOKED LIKE IT WAS BURNING GREEN), IT DESENDED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND WAS GLOWING SO BRIGHTLY THAT IT LIT UP THE INSIDE OF MY CAR FOR ABOUT 10-15 SECS. AND THEN IT DISAPPEARED. I REALLY DON'T THINK THIS WAS A UFO, BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAVE WITNESSED SOMETHING AS SO. I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THIS WAS.

AS WE WERE TRAVELING FROM SC TO TEXAS I AM NOT EVEN SURE OF THE STATE. IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT AND WE SAW A VERY LARGE ORANGE LIGHT, MOVING VERY FAST. IT WAS GOING FROM SOUTH TO NORTH I AM SURE. IT WAS AS LARGE (OR LARGER!) AS THE AIR PLANES MUST HAVE BEEN WHICH CARRIED THOSE TINY AIR PLANE LIGHTS ALSO IN THE SKY AS WE DROVE THAT NIGHT. I THINK IT WAS VERY HIGH. IT MOVED AS IF IT OWNED THE SKY, SO ASSURED AND FAST.

Location: Unknown, WI, USA

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Lights on object, Left a trail, Electrical or magnetic effects

Five patterned bright lights seen over highway and car engine was affected.

I was driving from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan back to my home in Kenosha, Wisconsin. I do not know what town I was in. I was on a divided highway with 3 lanes on each side and there weren’t many cars on the road.

I saw large, bright, cream color lights that spanned the entire width of both sides of the highway. They seemed like they were about 30-50 yards in front of me and maybe 30-40 feet above the ground. There were 5 lights that lit up in a pattern going left to right. The first 3 lights were in a straight line and then the fourth light was higher and the fifth was back in line with the first three. So it gave a triangular pattern with the fourth light.

I was traveling approximately 65 mph and I never got closer to the lights or drove under them. I watched them blink in this pattern for probably 3 minutes and then suddenly when the fifth light went out, I could see it shoot straight up in the sky as the light dissipated.

At that very moment, my car engine seemed to stop for 1-2 seconds and the check engine light came on. I was so scared and instantly wondered if anyone else had seen this. I noticed maybe 3-4 cars on the highway traveling in the opposite direction.

I pulled off at the next exit that had a gas station. I turned my car off and started it back up. The check engine light was off and everything seemed back to normal.

Egg Shaped UFO seen from air plane over Florida

I was coming home from my summer vaction in Florida and looking out the plane window at around 3pm when I saw this red egg looking object.

It was making odd and fast moves around the plane. It must have been over 3 miles or so away. I tryed to tell others to look out and no one wanted to. I watched it make maunevers that no plane could do.

After 9 minutes or so of looking for it I got my camra and just as i was about to take a shot of it, it shot into the air and I never saw it again.

Location: unknown, WA, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

TRIANGLE, ONE LIGHT ON EACH CORNER, VERY LITTLE NOISE, AND TWO SEPERATE WHITE LIGHT SPHERES.

IM SORRY THAT I WONT BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU MUCH DETAIL AS IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE THE EVENT OCCURRED. I WAS 17 YEARS OLD AND CAMPING WITH MY SISTER AND SOME FRIENDS AT A LAKE IN SOUTHERN WASHINGTON CALLED CRATER LAKE. AT APPROX. 2130 HRS., WE WERE SITTING AROUND A CAMP FIRE WHEN WE NOTICED A BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT COMING OFF OF THE MOUNTAIN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LAKE. THE LIGHT LIFTED OFF OF THE MOUNTAIN AND FLEW ACCROSS THE LAKE IN A STREIGHT PATTERN. A FEW MINUTES LATER ANOTHER LIGHT DID THE SAME THING EXCEPT THIS TIME I FLASHED A FLASH LIGHT AT IT. WE THOUGHT THAT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A HELICOPTER LIGHT OR AN AIRPLANE OF SOME SORT BUT THE AIRCRAFT DID NOT MAKE ANY NOISE THAT WE COULD TELL.

LATER THAT NIGHT, AND I DONT KNOW WHAT TIME IT WAS, I WAS SLEEPING IN AN OPEN SCREENED ROOF DOME TENT WHEN I WOKE UP. IM NOT SURE WHY I WOKE UP, BUT AS I LOOKED UP, A TRIANGLER SHAPED AIRCRAFT HOVERED ABOVE OUR CAMP. IT WAS VERY LARGE AND APPARED TO BE ONLY A FEW HUNDRED FEET UP. THE AIRCRAFT MADE A SLIGHT HISSING AND ROARING NOISE BUT IT WAS VERY FAINT. I COULD NOT MOVE OUT OF FEAR BUT I DID NOTICE THAT THERE WAS A BRIGHT ROUND LIGHT ON EACH CORNER OF THE AIRCRAFT. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE AIRCRAFT HAD A ROUNDED OFF EDGE, KIND OF LIKE A TIRE TUBE. I COULD SEE A CROSS BEAM TYPE STRUCTURE AROUND THE AIRCRAFT.

I JUMPED UP OUT OF BED AND RAN OUT OF MY TENT YELLING FOR MY SISTER. AS I STARTED YELLING, THE AIRCRAFT SLOWLY FLEW OUT OF SIGHT OVER THE MOUNTAINS BEHIND US. THE NEXT MORNING MY SISTER WAS TELLING ME THAT SHE THOUGHT I WAS TRYING TO PLAY A JOKE ON HER THE NIGHT BEFORE. SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WAS WOKEN UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT BY SOME COLORFULL LIGHTS SHINNING IN HER TENT. SHE THOUGHT IN HER SLEEP THAT IT WAS A COP CAR OUTSIDE AND FELT FRUSTRATED. SHE TOLD ME IN THE MORNING THAT SHE REALIZED THAT IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN A COP CAR BECAUSE WE WERE ON AN ISLAND WITH NO BRIDGE ACCESS.

A LITTLE BIT OF MY BACKGROUND: I HAVE BEEN IN LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR APPROX. 2 YEARS. I HAVE SERVED IN THE US MILITARY AND IM NOT SAYING THAT THIS THING WAS FROM ANOTHER PLANET, BUT I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYHTING LIKE IT BEFORE OR SINCE.

While driving east on the interstate 92 the main interstate east west through Montana from Washington state. Anyway to the south from the highway a large white light that lit up the entire hillside to the south traveled east with my vehicle. It looked like day time on the ground in the area of the light. I though it was a chopper but the light was to bright and made no noise. I panicked and started traveling at a high rate of speed and the light just stayed to the south of the highway. It was there for about an hour and then stopped moving as I travel further east. there were no cities or towns where I was, No exits from the highway. I was scared to death. It was not normal what ever it was.

squat spheroid ufo with fanlike underside structure and evenly spaced lights around equator of object

We were driving through Mississippi on a two lane state road southbound. It was late at night...I don't know how late...but probably after midnight. The road was through a pine forest. We were travelling toward sea level and as a consequence the plane of the land ahead of us was visible for a few miles to the horizon (we could see the tops of the trees for a ways ahead due to the downward slow incline of the land). About near the horizon, I see this lighted object. I first think that it must be an airplane. This is for a good minute or two. As we approached it however, I realized that the object was not moving and that it was shaped like a squat spheroid and had lights evenly spaced around its equator. I then assumed that it must be a water tower. As we got closer it became apparent that the thing was hovering right on the left hand side of the road about 3-5 feet above the trees. It was no more than 30-50 feet away from the car at the closest point. The lights on it were bright white and were shining downward. I guess it must have been 30-50 feet in diameter. On the underside of the object, there was a fanlike rotor structure composed of many thin metallic looking fan blades. There were so many blades that you could not see a gap between them...but it my also have been that they were spinning too fast, so maybe there were fewer blades and it was more of an optical illusion do to the spinning. There was a slight fog around and above the trees, and the convection of the fan was sucking the fog into the object. I was filled with a very definitive fear and hightened anxiety like I have never felt before. I pointed at the object and could only say, "look, a UFO!" and kept driving. All 4 passengers in my car verified a short while later at a diner that we saw what we saw. I still know one of the people today.

My friend and I were traveling through the Angelina Forest in East Texas on a two lane highway. There were 80 foot trees on both sides of the road as far ahead as could be seen. It was at night when all of a sudden this huge object passed ahead maybe 100 yards ahead. Maybe 200 yards. It flew at tree top level and was as big as a 747 jet. No noise and it was traveling very slow. It had maybe 60 or 70 lights in different places. No certain order or anything. I have never ever seen so many lights on a plane in my entire life. I thought it was probably a military aircraft, but it had so many lights on it. I stopped the truck and we both just said WOW! What was that? We will never forget it. I know I will never forget it. I work for the City of Dallas ((deleted)) department. ((deleted)) years now. My friend is into real estate. He went to college in nacadoches, texas. I graduated from ((schools deleted)) Texas. I would say the height of it was maybe 60 foot high. We were headed to Sam Rayburn Lake in East Texas to go bass fishing with my friends Dad. His Dad had a house and boat there. We were maybe 50 miles from the Lake. The speed of this thing seemed like 30 miles an hour, but in the air it's hard to figure. That's about it. Just driving down an east texas two lane highway in the middle of the Angelina Forest and seeing a dark object the size of a jet or transport with so many lights it was beautiful. The lights were red, green, blue, white, maybe yellow, I can't remember. I wish I would have had a video going. It's been a few years since this happened but I felt compelled to send this to you. It's been on my mind for a long time. Thanks!

Alleged Dril or non-drilll for military base UFO approach

This is not really a UFO sighting report—however, I thought I would relate the following story: In the 1980s, my wife and I took an evening walk to a restaurant in our neighborhood for some iced tea and a piece of pie. We ran into my aunt who lived in an apartment building just down from the restaurant—she was having light refreshment with a neighbor. We joined them.

While we were visiting, a couple of teenagers sat down in the booth behind me. One of them told a story that I of course cannot verify or check out. I had a little trouble keeping up with the story because I didn't want to be rude to my aunt and her friend.

But this was his story: One weekend, he went to visit a girlfriend who lived with her family in the base-housing section at one of our air force bases. At the time, we had three air force bases in our state, plus one Marine Air facility. Because I missed a portion of his story, I'm not entirely certain, but I believe he was talking about one of our air bases.

Anyway, he said, he and his girfriend went to the base movie theater on either a Friday or Saturday night. When the movie let out, he and his girlfriend and virtually all of the people who attended the showing began their return to their homes in the base housing area. As they were walking, a siren began to sound. Immediately, all of the people headed toward various base houses. He said that there was no hesitation. His girlfriend chose a house and two or three other people followed them to the front door. The girl did not knock, but simply opened the door. The family acknowledged them and invited them to sit. Someone in the house closed the drapes in all of the living room windows and left the room, presumably to close them in the other rooms of the house. The teenager made the point that there were drapes and not blinds.

There were various conversations in the livingroom. I cannot remember whether or not the family they had walked in on offered water or other refreshment.

Sometime later—it was not clear to me how much later, as he was telling the story but it seems as if it could have been close to hour—the siren sounded again. The visitors thanked the family and everyone left.

His girlfriend told him that what just happened may or may not have been an exercise. She said she was not really supposed to know, but she had learned that the exercise or non-execise was a procedure when a UFO approached the base. The teeanger asked, “You mean, like a landing?” The girl did not really answer the question.

As I said, I have no way to knowing whether or not the guy was telling a true story, but perhaps others know of similar procedures at other military bases.

The sphere's that observed us on the beach, may have also scrammbled the event memory.

My parents raised me as a nomad, you could say. We lived in a 12-man tent, and went to many auspicious places. I remember that I was young (9) perhaps, all the bonfire parties were over etc. 11pm-3am and I don't really know the exact date. We were taking a beach stroll, gazing at the stars etc. Many objects of light surrounded us, kind of like fireflies; we stood there for 15mins or so maybe longer, (while they observed us). My father was a very intelligent man, not one to mistake anything. So after we walked back to our VW bug talking about what we'd all just experienced and drove down the freeway a bit I began to draw a picture of what I'd seen. If I remember correctly they were, either all sphere's or some were triangle, some maybe square, and that they were either all different illuminating colors or opalescent/reflective. They seemed large, out of this world, but right there like fireflies. Ok, so I give my mother the picture and she say's something like "That's cute honey but they were much bigger." and my dad said some thing about them not being colorful, that they were dark black or silver, maybe reflective. We argued back and forth for a while, and then we all felt weird like they'd gone in saw who we were etc and then erased our memory, or scrambled it. Perhaps messages that I now see. One thing I know, while we walked back to the bug we all agreed, and knew what we’d seen thought it was awesome etc. and then the memory faded away, very, very quickly. I wish I still had that picture. When men in black the movie came out and they zapped their memory away, it was funny but real. I’ll write of my most recent soon. Everything matters, yet once you know that, then nothing matters! Lol

UFO hovers over car and chases it aggressively

In late Summer of 1971, after having completed a Master's Degree program at a well-known West coast university, I embarked on a cross-country trip to see my parents (whom I hadn't seen in over a year) who resided in New Jersey.

At the beginning of the trip (approx. Aug. 15, 1971) I was feeling very well-rested and energized and I planned to drive all night if I still felt good around midnight. About that time, I was in the Denver metropolitan area and was using I-70. I loaded up on snacks and coffee and, since I still felt very alert and energized, I decided to go ahead and drive all night.

After Denver, the traffic on I-70 thinned out dramatically. In fact, before too long, in the wee hours of the morning, I noticed I was indeed the ONLY car on the highway. Somewhere on I-70, about midway between Denver and the Kansas border (Lincoln County?), at approximately 3:00a.m., I encountered an unusual spotlight above my car which, as it descended closer to my car, became extremely bright red-orange in color. It was so bright one could actually read a newspaper in the car. It was so bright, I considered it a safety issue since, surrounded by all this light, I could not see the road ahead as clearly as before. I was absolutely terrified.

I was hoping this thing above my car was just an errant helicopter – but the characteristic sound of the rotors was entirely absent. There was, in fact, no sound at all. Also absent was the expected downward gusts generated by rotor blades. What terrified me even more was that the craft seemed to mimic my every move, in terms of speed and lane shifting – and it was done in a very menacing way, in my opinion.

I have identified the shape of the craft as “unknown” because my 1964 Chevy Impala was a hardtop and I could see nothing directly above. If the light from the object was any indication of size and shape, it encircled my car entirely and was substantially wider and longer than my Chevy.

In an attempt to break away from this object (that appeared to be chasing me), I gunned the gas pedal and went to over 100m.p.h. I traveled at this high rate of speed for approx. 3 to 4 minutes – but to no avail since the craft seemed to have the ability to “lock on” to my every movement seamlessly and without fail.

Suddenly, I noticed ahead of me the tail lights of another car. I moved along and passed the other car and, at that very moment, the craft disappeared just as quickly as it first appeared.

I am considering the driver of the other car as an additional witness as I am very sure he/she must have seen EVERYTHING in the rear-view mirror, probably including the exact size and shape of the thing. I think it is interesting to note that the other driver tried to remain close to me so neither of us was entirely alone. We passed each other in a leap-frog manner until daybreak was close at hand. At that point, I turned off I-70 into what was the last Colorado rest area before Kansas. The other car continued eastward.

I refreshed myself, rested awhile, and continued eastbound on I-70 after dawn (6:00a.m.?) – without further incident.

NOTE: I have never discussed this with anyone, except for my immediate family, and would like to continue to remain anonymous going forward.

Nothing that my aunt or father or anyone I asked had heard of any craft at that time that could go that fast.

was in the back of a station wagon on the way home from visiting a relative in Lowell ME. I was looking at the stars as the view was very clear. Suddenly one of the stars moved. It was so fast that it went from the left to the right of one viewing hemisphire in less than one second. This UFO kept flying this way for approx.20-25 minutes,then stopped and remained in one place for about 2 min. Then a second UFO came straight down and locked with the first. Then a third came and they all stayed together for a few minutes and then vanished.

We saw a glowing yellow gold object 50 to 100 yards in diameter hovering above us as though wanting to communicate.

My first wife and I were moving to California from Dallas in a rented U-Haul truck. We first noticed what appeared to be the moon infront and above us. I remarked on how spectacular and bright it was. We noticed after a few seconds that this object was on a collision course with us looking as though it would smash right on top of us. I stopped the truck. The object stopped. I just hovered there without motion or rocking. It was absolutely still. We got the idea that it was wanting to take us with it. We both found ourselves muttering words like, "Go away, we don't want to go," etc. Suddenly it took off as though it were shot from a slingshot going straight out into the night sky as far as we could see. The object was a yellowish gold, slightly glowing. I could not make out any detail in the object. It made not noise. It scared us. It was not from this world.

Myself and a friend are missing time after seeing a UFO

Myself and a friend were hitch hiking and were dropped off in a rural area in Mississippi. We saw a light and it moved slowly toward us and then zig zag ed so fast we could hardly believe it. It made on noise as it moved over us and went behind a tree line. It was two thirds the size of a full moon. I ran through the trees to look at it but it had disappeared.

On returning to my friend he was very frightened and excited, jumping up and down saying what was it. Then the sun was up and the sun was up! I have no memory of nine hours and my friend gets frightened even to this day should I mention it and will not talk about it. I know aircraft and this was nothing man made, it moved much too slow and too fast. The event did not scare me and I would like to know where the nine hours went, I think. I have thought about regression hypnosis but do not trust it. Perhaps I would be afraid if I could remember.

I do not talk much about this as everyone thinks it's crazy but I have seen them on more than one occasion and with other people, one being a pilot who will not talk !!!

Shape: Light


Bright light paced our car then sped off at extreme speed

My UFO story starts in the deep dark south of Mississippi. Traveling home from college for Christmas in 1958, I and 4 other college friends were deep in the boondocks of Mississippi in the wee hours of the night. I was dozing in the rear passenger seat when one of the boys in the front seat spoke up saying, ‘Hey, I think that thing is following us’. I woke up to see a bright light out the right side above the tree line pacing our car some distance away. This was in the days before common helicopter usage. We were all watching it, and it was making no sound or vibration as it got larger and closer to the car. There were no houses, no lights, no traffic or other possible causes which caused us some concern. We sped up and the light sped up. We slowed way down and it slowed down with us. We stopped and it stopped. The driver then decided to turn the lights off and try to outrun it flying down the straight highway at 90 mph in the dark! The light stayed right with us. We reached some trees and he turned the headlights back on, slowed down to highway speed and suddenly the light sped off to the right and was gone. Needless to say, we were all wide awake for the rest of the night.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 138301
Occurred: 1957-06-30 13:00 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2018-01-07 08:39 Pacific
Duration: 5-7 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Unknown, CO, USA

Shape: Oval


In 1957 a strange oval spotted in Kansas that hovered, flew straight up, made 90 degree turn and accelerated at great speed vanished.

This happened many years ago. I have never forgotten what I saw.

I was a teenager on a car trip family vacation sitting in the back seat on the right hand side. I was watching out the window when I spotted something unusual. There was a brown farmhouse about a quarter mile from the road. There was also a brown shed a little distance from the house on the right. Beside the shed was a small normal water tower and right beside the top of the water tower was what appeared to be a second water tower...except it had no supporting structure and was just hovering.

As I was watching the legless oval shot straight up then made a 90 degree turn to the west and zipped out of sight at great speed. I have a vivid recollection of this even after all these years.

Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

Video of Blue Angles airshow from 1953 shows two shiny saucers orbiting a common point.

I was watching a TV show on the Blue Angels. It was there first airshow ever. It was 1953 and the planes were taking off from an airstrip. In the background in this color video about 20 degrees up and a maybe 5 miles away are two glowing silver saucer objects circling each other in an orbit maybe a mile across. Motion of both objects is clear and they are very distinct from the darker planes of the Blue Angels and the other aircraft visible on the ground and flying by.



NUFORC Note:

We believe that the first possibility to be ruled out would be blimps, perhaps blimps operated by the U. S. Navy, but that is only a guess. In 1953, back when the news media still covered UFO sightings, if the objects had, in fact, been genuine UFO's, the incident probably would have given rise to news reports. PD

This movie was filmed in 1952, a huge year in the history of ufo sightings

Years ago I was watching on vcr a movie called high noon with gary cooper, and during the first moments of the movie the camera caught a flying disc going overhead in full view of the camera. I was able to stop the video for frame by frame advancing. What is seen is two frames of the disc after it makes a 90 degree turn, it appears that the sun reveals a clear view of a disc, and the faint sign of lights coming from it, please examine it and let me know on your site. You will find this footage at the beginning of the movie, just when the outlaws take a left turn while riding horses across railroad tracks.

White light at midnight traveling into outer space.

I was on LA Army maneuvers in a forest at midnight after having driven all day long.

I was on midnight guard duty and saw a white light which I assumed to be a plane flying horizontally right to left, when it suddenly took a 45 deg upward path and eventually grew smaller and smaller as it headed into outer space, now in a right hand corkscrew circular path until the distance diminished it's light.

It took about 10 to 15 minutes so it was really traveling.

At that time we had not ever heard of UFO. I mentioned this incident in my astronomy class back in college but the instructor listened and then without comment went on with his lecture.

1942 Louisiana midnight light like airplane 10-15 minutes, then corkscrewing up into the atmosphere

On midnight (very dark night) guard duty while on Louisiana maneuvers in 1942 with 2 other soldiers I observed a light appearing to be an aircraft (we’d never heard of UFOs in those days) flying parallel to the ground.

Suddenly it made a 45 deg turn upward, and for about 10-15 minutes corkscrewed out into the atmosphere, growing dimmer all the while until it finally disappeared.
