Strange UFO sighting outside our home in West Point, NE.

At about 1:34 a.m., we went outside to smoke a cigarette and looked up at the clear night sky and noticed a /\ shaped unknown flying object (UFO) in the sky to the west. The UFO was flying from the Northwest to the Southeast. There were seven round shaped lights that were very faint luminescence and barely noticable. The UFO was moving slowly and was silent and made strange and smooth movements unlike anything we have ever seen before. After about 30 seconds, the object disappeared from our field of vision.

Shape: Changing
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Changed Color, Missing Time

I saw a silent, large object in the sky which changed shape, had numerous colored lights, and glided with even speed towards Richmond,

At about 10:45 PM, I was taking a container of compost to my compost area. I looked up, and over the neighbor's house at the 12:00 position, I saw a very large golden ball. We had been watching for comets for the last couple weeks. This was way,way too large, was not moving, and was totally soundless. It hovered for several minutes, then I thought it was coming in my direction, as it was getting larger. There was no sensation of it moving...just like suddenly it was closer. At one point, then, it changed shape. The only way to actually see it as a shape was to observe very black areas within the shape, and the lights surrounding it, giving it a certain depth. While looking like a large, bright ball, at first, the small lights at certain points (the small lights were red, blue, yellow, green, and very small) and the dark area within gave it a somewhat convex shape, but the most dramatic addition to this were what looked like 2 vertical "grids" composed of lines of black, with lines of bright lights between the black lines. These, along with the colored small lights, appeared when the object got closer, and appeared to have rotated to that more 3 dimensional shape, with the grids angled straight upwards. I am an artist, so I was very interested in the shape when all the individual lights, and the grids showed up...the flat bright ball went from flat to 3 dimensional, and it was very apparent. The object moved soundlessly over my head, and at some point in time appeared circular again, and soundlessly "glided" towards Richmond. I went into the house and told my fiancée, who registered mild surprise.

About 10-20 minutes later, he received a call from a friend. "I just saw something I've Never seen before". He described the same thing, within the same time frame. We learned that the object he saw was just like what I saw. He lives about 15-20 miles away from us, is a military man with a long career, (retired) and he had never seen anything like it, as well. Although I have had one ot her sighting of a UFO long ago, I never reported it. It was somewhat similar to this sighting, but over, and within, water. I probably would not have reported this, but for the call from this friend that makes me absolutely certain that I saw it. I was frozen to the ground the second I saw this, and didn't move until it was gone.I have a very quick sketch of how the object looked in my sketchbook, but it seemed that each second that went by, my brain was trying to forget the whole thing, so my sketch is basic, but true to form. Thank you for the opportunity to write-I spent a rather nervous night, not sleeping much, and just being able to report it will help. I felt like I was only gone a few minutes, but it turned out to be 20 minutes.

Round/circular orange object, north to south.

So does anyone have any ideas, or are there any other witnesses?!

Myself and 3 other adults seen an orange glowing object in the sky over iowa (Lee County) about 9:45-10:00 pm on 8/3/2015. At first I thought it was one of those glowing lantern things people let go near the 4th.

It traveled from north to south fairly fast, it took approx. 1.5 mins. from one horizon to the other.

Also, after about 5-6 mins. a second orange glowing ball/circle appeared and did the exact same thing as the first; they looked identical, it could have been two different objects or maybe the same one??

Also it didn't have a "tail." It was just an orange round ball, traveling through the sky.

It was father away than any plane or jet I've seen!

Bright, silent, star-like light moving across the sky, much faster than any jet airplane

I stepped outside at 8:48 PM, Central Time Zone, to have a smoke. It was a clear night and the stars were bright and beautiful. While gazing up at the stars, I noticed a light moving across the sky at an amazing speed.

It was a white light, as bright as the brightest star in the sky, and it was moving in a North/North-Easterly direction, in a straight line. It appeared to be at a very high altitude, and it was moving at least 3 times faster than any jet airplane I have ever witnessed. It took the light about one and a half minutes to move from the South horizon to the North Horizon. It was not a shooting star. It made no sound.

An hour later, at exactly 9:48 PM on the same evening, I witnessed the same kind of light moving along the same path and at the same speed. I quickly pulled out my phone to try to get a video of the event. However, as soon as I began recording, the light began to dim and disappear. The entire recording only lasts 6 seconds, but the object can be seen moving away from a stars position before it disappears.

Flashing star UFO in West Point.

Wife and I were laying on the tramp, watching shooting stars.

Suddenly, something flashed at us in the sky. It was like a star appeared out of nowhere and flashed at us. It did this 3 times in about 10 seconds. A very bright vivid flash. The light was a pure white and seemed to have a blue hue around it.

Sky was clear, except for a few very high thin clouds. Many satellites visible. This light we saw was not a plane and we both felt like it was flashing AT us, as though it wanted our attention. This couldn't have been the case though, because as soon as we started talking about it, it was gone.

triangle shaped lights over KIA motors manufacturing Georgia

At 9:30 pm I was walking towards the building I work at, KIA motors manufacturing Georgia. Above the building and off in the distance I saw a large object flying overhead. All I could make out was seven lights forming a triangle.

The object was moving a little slower than the airplanes that I am accustomed to seeing. The object moved in complete silence. I followed the object through the sky until the parking lot lights made it impossible to see the object anymore. The whole encounter lasted about one minute

After arriving in the building and discussing this with other employees I learned I was not the only one who saw something strange. A co worker of mine said he saw what looked like two shooting stars chasing each other. Another said he could here jets flying overhead but saw nothing.

Light just as bright by Venus

20:30 is an estimate time, but it happened around that time. I looked out my garage door facing west. There still was a little daylight. I looked up at Venus and saw what I thought was another star. It was just as bright little above and north stationary by Venus. I looked down at my light switch to turn it off and go in my house. Then I remembered that Venus is the third brightest object in the sky. I looked back up at this object when I noticed it starting to slowly move to the north. It started to pick up speed and faded out or twinkled before disappearing.

I have look all over the web trying to find out what it was with no luck. I was hoping that if I post this event somewhere someone would say what it was or they saw also. I live by 3 airfields Ogden-Hinckley Airport, Hill Airforce Base, and Salt Lake International so I am very familiar what aircraft can and can not do.

Cigar Shaped UFO Flying Into a Storm Cloud

It was 5:27 in the evening. I was waiting for my brother in his car outside his house, when I looked up to the east and saw a Cigar Shaped, Silver object fly into the leading edge of a storm cloud. There may have been more already in the cloud but I didn't see them. It was close enough that if it were an Airplane I would have heard it and there was no contrail. I don’t drink and I don’t do drugs and I wasn’t tired.

Large thin orange crescent with outline lights low in sky; changed size; possible mirage.

Driving west after dark we saw a large, thin orange crescent low in the sky ahead of us. At first we thought it might be the moon, but it was too large. (Had watched the new moon and Venus, just after sunset, the previous night - the crescent we are reporting was much larger, appearing to be the outline of the bottom a very large circle. It grew larger, then smaller, then vanished. There appeared to be indistinct small lights along it, and a bright orange light near the tip of the crescent (on the right).

We wonder about the possibility of a mirage, as the conditions were rather humid from melting snow, and there is a highway intersection several miles west of this location which is lighted by an orange light on a pole, on the right. If this was a mirage, it seems to have been displaced to the south of the actual location of the intersection.

strange orange lights in the night sky

I am a police officer in west point nebraska so my annonimity is essential. I and another officer were doing security for a high school football game, when off to the east we noticed what appeared to be a orangish light that seperated in to 4 seperate lights. The light were in a diagnal straight line. when the light on the right side would go out another would appear on the left, giving the appearance that the lights where traveling accross the sky. I observed another light appear to the lower left of the set of 4. The lights were visible for about 5 to 10 min and then went out. We observed them re appear again about 5 min later. When the lights re appeared I was looking at them through my binoculars. They were smaller white lights in the area that i could see, but did not appear to be aircraft lights. I am not sure what they were. I at first thought maybe they were flares from military type aircraft. I talked with some ex milatry people about what military flares look like. I have been told that they burn out fairly quickly, where these lights seem to stay visible for quite some time.

Large, slow craft cirlces over West Point, NY, in late spring of 1990.

In the late spring of 1990, I received a call from my neighbor - the wife of a workmate and my wife's friend - who lived across our parking lot in military housing on top of Stoney Lonesome, a small mountain at West Point, NY. She said, go outside and look up . ..

I did so and over my head came a set of lights in a boomerang configuation. (Immediately after this event, I made a drawing of the lights, but have since lost it). The lights were arranged in five or six sets of three. The three lights in each set were identical: pastel yellow, green and blue. There were some smaller red lights, but not in a configuration common on commercial or military aircraft. The sets of lights were absolutely symetrical in their arrangement and fixed in their relationship. My wife joined me and alerted our neighbors to our right who also came outside to look. The lights were relatively low, and I could hear the throb of an engine. The sound is best described as the sound made when a set of twin boat engines is operating a little out of synch. Its speed was very slow and it made a turn around our small area during which I saw a small red light behind the "craft" move suddenly to the craft and disappear, like it was on a tether. Its speed remained slow, so slow that I wondered if it was ligher than air . . . faster than drifting (there was no perceptible wind) but definitely powered in a direction at a speed that should not have supported aerodynamic flight. As the craft completed its maneuver, it moved east toward the Hudson River. It was soon behind the two story duplex across from me. I estimated its altitude above me at about 400 feet (based upon clarity with which I could see the lights and hear the sound). It was two fists wide, perhaps. Using the roof line of the opposing duplex (which eventually obscured the craft from view) as a reference, I make the following estimate of its size. The duplex was approximately 30 feet tall (top of roof line) and 40 feet wide. When it was obsured by the roof line, the craft was about half the width of the duplex. If the craft was at 400 feet and did not change altitude as it moved east, and my eyes were at about 5 feet above the ground, then the craft's width was approximately equal to 8000/25 or 320 feet, a very large craft. I also estimate that the distance from my viewing point to the duplex roofline was 80 feet, making the distance the craft traveled before it was obscured to be approximately 32000/25 or 1240 feet, almost 1/4 mile. It probably took about 30 seconds for the craft to travel that distance once it headed that way, making its speed to that point approximately 30 miles per hour, very slow for an aircraft! (I did these calculations as I am now making this report).

I called Stewart AFB and reported the sighting . . . or more appropriately inquired as to what might have been over this Federal installation. A coupld days later they returned my call and told me it was several ultra-lights operating in formation. After seeing this craft do a 270 degree turn without changing geometry and after hearing a sound that did not equate to more than two engines, I knew this was not a plausible explanation.

Strangely enough, I shortly thereafter was given the book Communion by Whitley Striber. I didn't even realize, as I read it, that he lives across the Hudson and a bit south from West Point. It was amazing to read his descriptions and the explanations given to him by Steward AFB! The following week I talked to a couple of the cadets we sponsored and learned that they heard cadets talking about something strange they saw circling over the Academy! Lastly, my partner's father saw the same object in Connecticuit approximately the same time! I didn't learn of that until 13 years later.

For your notes, I was at the time a Major in the Army teaching electrical engineering at the US Military Academy, from which I graduated in 1976; I recieved a MSEE (control systems) from the University of Washington in Seattle prior to teaching at the Academy. I do consider myself a trained observer of scientfic data and annomalies.

Location: West Point, MS, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Missing Time

I believe I had physical contact with three extraterrestrial beings. I also believe that some sort of procedure was performed on me.

It was 31 years ago. I was 13 years old at the time. The only other person present in the home was my mother. I do not remember the exact date or time, except that it happened in the middle of the night. I was sleeping in my bedroom and was awakened by the presence of three beings standing around my bed. There was one on either side of me and one at the end of my bed near my feet. They were tall with unusually large heads. I was unable to move or speak. I felt paralyzed and also terrified. My knees were up and my legs were being held apart by the two beings who were on either side of me, while the third inserted an object inside me. I never heard them say anything but it was as if the one at the end of my bed told me, "we're almost done".

The next thing I remember is waking up in my bed very early the next morning feeling horrified. I felt terribly violated and traumatized. I didn't know exactly what happened to me but I KNEW something had happened and that they had been in my bedroom. I remember looking around the room and nothing had been disturbed nor was anything out of place. I felt very strange for weeks after. Even years later something as normal and routine as going to the gynecologist was traumatic for me because it brought back the memory and the violation of it.

I have never told anyone about this experience, not even my mother. I knew something extraordinarily strange and perhaps unbelievable had happened to me. I have been afraid to speak of it my entire life.
