I was a passenger of a car that was driving and glanced out the window and saw up in the sky there was a disk like thing with 4 lights, one light in each side of the UFO. It appeared to be going into a dark cloud and sucking it up and making it turn white. I could only observe it for 30 seconds jumping up and down in the car and asking to stop the car.

Location details: Black Point campsite, Richardson Lake

Shape: Oval


Looking at stars with my wife, what we thought was a star suddenly got big and bright and started moving through the sky and pulsing.

My wife, my mother-in-law and I were camping on Richardson Lake in Andover Maine. We were staying at the Black Point site run by South Arm Campground (not the day use area). Because it was so clear out and we could clearly see the milky way, my wife decided we should lay on the beach and look at the stars. We were laying flat in our backs, feet pointing west, heads east. I could see the big dipper to our right (north), and what we believed to be Orion to our left (south). I was just looking straight up at 3 or 4 starts that formed a triangle (pointing upwards) when a star that I had seen before, right below the triangle stars got incredibly bright and got much larger than anything else in the sky and started moving at a high rate of speed to our right (north). It seemed to fade, the get get bright again before it faded and disappeared over the point/day use area. Both my wife and I exclaimed when we saw this happen. She also confirmed all the details, including the fact that it appeared to just be a star before it got bright and big, and stared it move. It was several times larger than anything else in the sky, there was no mistaking this for a star. We've also seen satellites, but they are much smaller and don't stay stationary then start moving, and they are significantly smaller than what we saw. We've both seen shooting stars before, this was not one. It made no sound. The campsite is 13 miles down a camp/logging road to South Arm Campground, then 12 miles up via boat to the site… It's remote, we can hear people from miles away, and can easily hear planes flying far above… We heard no sound. After seeing this, my usually calm wife decided she had done enough star gazing for one night and it was time for bed. The thing that bothers me the most was that I thought it was just another star, it was completely stationary before getting big and bright, suddenly moving across the sky suddenly without having to accelerate. It just went from still to moving at incredible speeds instantaneously. The object looked like a glowing white oval.

Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Lights on object

I viewed 50 to 60 orbs dropping out of a hole in the sky and moving northeast from my location.

On the morning of March 2, 2020 I was sitting in my living room listening to music. It was 4:45 am. I noticed a light moving northeast from my area. My first thought was that it was a plane. I saw 10 more in succession and got up to move to the window. These lights continued to cross my sight line going northeast. After seeing about 30 of them, I stepped out on my front porch to get an idea of where they were coming from. It seemed that they were dropping down from the same point in the sky. About one half mile east and south of my house. They would first appear as a dull orb, drop down and become much brighter and then move northeast in a straight line behind the others. I continued to watch until the last one, which was at a longer interval than the others dropped down and took off following the others. I would estimate between 50 and sixty of these lighted orbs continued northeast in a straight line. As the moved farther away they took on the appearance of a long line of! light due to the regular distance between each vehicle. The sky was clear at this time.

Group of twinkling lights rapidly changing speed and advancing across the sky

At precisely 9:28 (and a few seconds) PM CST I saw a very strange series of lights in the sky. I was driving east on Central, just west of 159th E. when I saw what looked like a twinkling airplane, very large star or planet. It was maybe 10-15 degrees above the horizon, and appeared to be moving pretty much straight south. It was orange-ish, almost like a firework, but very long-lived and consistent. There was only one visible initially, moving slowly, then it disappeared, and another immediately appeared quite a distance ahead of the first one, moving in the same direction at about the same speed, almost as if it had jumped ahead very rapidly. This series of disappearing and reappearing happened maybe 8-10 times within about 20 seconds.

Bright Orange Plasma Lights.

Walked out to the hot tub last night and noticed a strange orange very bright light traveling north west out of Hackettstown, New Jersey, towards the Lake Tranquility area, called the wife out to view this strange light, and to our amazement at least 19 more travel right above us, no sound, and so brilliant it was hard to look at, the home next door had a party and the people began to come out on the deck to view it as well.

This same event happened about 3 years ago, except these light where much brighter. Very Very Strange indeed!!!!!

Invisible with Blue flame. Beyond Comprehension.

The object was first observed in the middle of our 3-seaon porch in Andover MN 55304. I just happened to walk out to the porch as it was a beautiful fall night out. I was reading a magazine on the couch when out of the corner of my eye, I noted a small blue flame slightly below eye level and as I was looking toward the house. The blue light (flame) then disappeared. Now, I thought for sure I saw something quite unique (not just ‘seeing things’), so to be sure, I did a couple of things. I called out to my wife who was in the house. She did not initially answer as she was putting the kids to bed upstairs. That meant that she nor the kids could have had an object that could have caused a deflection in a window or something. Also, there are periodic cars that go by a few hundred yards behind our house (and can be seen sometimes through the trees). I tried to see if I could find a deflection of light on the windows from any cars coming by and could no! t come close. I of course have never seen anything like this in the years of being on the porch, but none-the-less, I just wanted to confirm this. I also moved my head around in all forms, as I wear glasses, and possibly I was getting some oddball deflection off a rim or something. In all events, I was unable to remotely get any colored light to occur (or any reflections for that matter). And also as a Christian, I was thinking that maybe it was some type of sign. There was no feeling at all that it was intended to be a spiritual sign (which I kind of was hoping for...and I was not exactly a believer in UFO's). In any event, after the first 2-3 second blue light flame, I went back to reading the magazine, and had to mark it up to just a very odd (but believable) sign that was just mysterious.

But after about 4 minutes, there it went again. About another two-three seconds of a blue flame occurred, this time maybe about 1-2 feet from the original flame I had seen. Now, based on the distance traveled, and where I first saw the flame, I believe that I walked through the ‘UFO’. That’s right, the UFO was invisible, and I walked right through it. By now, I know that I saw something beyond belief, but had no idea what it was. And At this time, I was a little scared as I have no idea its intent. I was thinking it could attack so I tried to play it cool and not stare at the empty space where I thought it occupied. I would still glance, however. After another 4 minutes, boom, there the light hit again. This time it had moved about 3-4 feet so it was picking up speed, albeit very slowly. But, this time, the light was on the other side of our three-season porch window. It could fly through the window! Not only that, but I would say that there was no slow down! for flying through a window. This ‘UFO’ is now showing anti-gravity, invisibility, energy production, and matter transparency (i.e. fly through matter), all while demonstrating physical control. And, when assuming it was sent as a probe to investigate our world, then it also means that it can maintain a memory of its travels while being all the things above. Beyond belief.

After the third blue flame, I began to think it was not weaponized, and may not want to hurt me. So, I did stand up and walked to the 3-season porch door toward the deck and continued to look for it. I saw it again about mid-way on the deck, a little higher than eye level if sitting in a chair. After another 4 minutes or so it started to pick up a little more elevation and was off the edge of the deck, about another 8 feet away. I was now out on the deck following this thing. One more light was seen about 12 feet off the deck, higher yet and near the pine trees. After that, I figured I should be able to see one more blue light about 15-18 feet up from there and close to the pine trees (Based on the parabolic trajectory, I did not think it would have been in the tree). Unfortunately, I was unable to see this last expected flame.

That evening, I watched the 10:00 evening news weather report (it was a cloudy night) and I was looking for a blip in the radar that might be a mother ship. Yeah, right. There was nothing seen on radar as one would expect. And, I also told my wife about what I had seen (that I saw a UFO) so that I would know I was not dreaming this. A few weeks after, I asked her if I told her about the UFO, and she confirmed that I did in fact tell her about it (Confirming to me I wasn’t dreaming).

The ‘UFO’ itself was estimated as roughly the size of a single peanut (based on the flame size). I was only 4-5 feet away from it initially.

Beyond reason, comprehension, and understanding, the ‘UFO’ that was observed in October was one of futuristic wonder. Based on my estimates, it would take humans 600 years to understand and develop anything remotely close to this UFO, as we would need to harness and control light (I presume it was created with and internally controlled by self-controlling electromagnetic waves within its own ‘orbital’). Something not even comprehended with current knowledge. Probably 6 Eureka moments of Newton and Einstein will need to occur with significant ongoing development between each to achieve such a wonder. Maybe it will take multiple waves of Artificial Intelligence to advance to such a level and reduce the time of comprehension. But for today, beyond understanding.

uknown craft sighted in kansas, changed shape and color.

On the night of August 21, 2012, J.S.C was driving home from his fathers house. Located in Smileyburg ks his girlfriend was in the car when the sighting occured. It started as a large white light off in the distance as we drove closer to it it suddenly became darker with more lights around it. We immediatly knew it wasn't a plane it was far to low to the ground and not making a sound. It would change directions and height on a whim. At one point it appered.like a ball the next as a real airplane came near it mimicked the flashing lights of it.

When entering andover city limits the ufo flew right over the vehicle. Since we had been watching it for miles the sun roof.was open for a better view. While flying over the vehicle it appered as a triangle large and black with three lights on the tips and six in the center. The lights on the tips were red, green, and yelow but kept changing points on the triangle.

Upon entering Andover city limits it flew over some phone lines and was gone.

While on the deck last night with my wife, she called me outside to look a this object she had notice coming from the south out of hackettstown nj. We had a clear line of sight for miles. As we where watching a triangular shape began to take shape (lights only), but moving together. They past us right over head..no sound!

Then all of a sudden one by one the amber colored bright lights began to fade away. We thought that was it! Nope....9 more came, one by one they followed the large light pattern that we first had noticed...all i can say is having knowledge of aircraft and in the industry for years.... no this isnt ours. the lights also began to change color...hard to discribe, (muti colored) never saw this type of light on any of our aircraft......NEVER!!!!!

Bright orange fireball flies across the dark evening sky

On JUNE 16TH about 11:50pm, we were outside and noticed a very bright orange object appearing such as a fireball in the sky. It was coming from the Southeast and heading northward. It stayed on a direct path with no turns or pauses. It was the only flying object that was in the sky at the time. We watched this object for about a minute. It was flying quite fast, but not as fast as a meteor, but not as slow as an airplane would. This orange glow did not change in any shape, form or color. No sound was emitted in the evening quiet. It just flew by over the blackness of the night sky, and headed North to Northwest and then it was gone.

As bright as a pulsating star and as fast as the blink of an eye 500 Lights On Object0: Yes

At 8:30 pm I was taking trash out and saw red pulsing sphere like reflector thing in woods across street , then it turned goldish and turned to left and then disappeared over Lake. When I turned around there was a super bright light over west side of my property. Bright pulsing light that hurt the eyes to look at. After about 45 seconds it moved to left abruptly then up, then back and started to pulse ( in a rhythm like a heart beat) . I ran in house got camera and my wife to see! Then it got brighter and another one appeared to it's right much smaller and pulsed as well. The bigger one darted to the left, stopped on a dime and vanished. the little one stayed there until 10:30 pm at which time it vanished. The dog would not go outside! I took pictures with my digital camera and used my cell phone to capture what I could on video. The whole thing exhausted me and my wife so we sat down on the sofa at 10:30 and woke up at 1:30 a.m. on the couch and went to ! bed. I had really strange dreams as well all night and a weird smell like wet limestone or concrete and a bad taste in my mouth like a bitter burning taste sensation. I wasn't going to report it because it was so damn weird but I can't explain any off it. It was a very bizarre night and was wondering if anyone else saw anything. I asked my neighbor who was raking leaves this morning and she didn't see anything ! The pictures are strange as well. It, they, look like a gold sort of clam shell shaped thing in some pictures and like a oval welding light with a green blue halo and then like a white glow. It was an extremely clear warm night. Even saw a shooting star when we were watching these things. I should note that shortly after these things left a very low flying helicopter flew directly at it's location from east to west right over our home. I don't know if it was related but thought it should be mentioned.

3-18-12, Minneapolis, 8:40 PM, 2 dots flying very fast from SE to NW, side by side, but offset, brownish color

A NW suburb of Minneapolis. I was outside in hottub at around 8:40 PM central time on the night of 3-18-12. It was very clear and a nice starry night. I had seen a plane (jet) just 30 seconds before flying from E to W very high over the Twin Cities at cruising altitude (like a NY to Seattle flight or something like that.) Then, flying roughly SE to NW at a higher altitude, I saw two dots, offset from one another-not side by side, like that of a plane, but, farther apart and nothing visible in between them. They were brownish color, much higher and much, much faster. That is why I say about 10 seconds because the plane I mentioned previously took probably 30-40 seconds to fly across my vision in the sky. This thing took about 10 seconds. It was definitely an object or one thing OR two things flying synchronized-which would be more my guess.

Point of Light type heavenly body in the eastern sky showed significant movement in various directions on the evening of Nov. 7.

I was "naked eye" stargazing last night (11/07/07), a perfect night for stargazing because of the stillness and clarity of the stars.

I was looking eastward, paying special attention to the flickering stars. A speck of light in the mid-level eastern sky caught my eye because of the nature of its flickering. It appeared to be multi-colored, green, white, red, brighter flickers at times. There appeared to be an almost rotational aspect to the flickering.

I began to watch it closely, primarily because of the fact that when I first laid eyes on it, I thought I detected movement. As I moved my position to be free of neighboring lights, I attempted to ascertain whether or not the object was moving. Using two objects in the sky which I was sure were stars, the object in question was in such a position with respect to the two stars that it formed an isoceles triangle. But then the object became aligned with the top-most of the two stars; minutes later it was aligned with the bottom star. I was convinced the object was moving, but so slowly as to be indiscernible.

As I changed my position, I looked down at my feet for a moment, and when I returned my gaze to the object, it was no longer there. I looked southward of where I had been looking and I thought I detected it somewhat lower in the sky but the same flashing pattern was evident, so I thought I had re-detected it.

I studied its location in the sky for a few minutes but could not detect any motion, and after awhile I went inside, it being quite chilly out and it was getting late.

I personally feel this was the first time I've ever actually witnessed what I consider to be an authentic UFO, and I just turned 50!

hovering light came down slightly out of a small cloud increased in intensity and then went back up and disappeared

Driving east on 47th from an Air Force Base area toward Andover, I saw an oval light come down from a small cloud in pitch dark. I couldn't miss since it was straight above the road.

It appeared suddenly for 3 seconds as if it came out of the cloud increasing in intensity. It moved forward (east) a little and then went back up until it disappeared.

It's movement was very suddle and smooth. At first I thought it might be a reflection but I moved my head around to orient the light better.

The light was the size of a medium size full moon except it was oval and it seemed to be rotating.

I don't believe in this stuff but now I'm not too sure.

Small red dot zipping around in the sky. Like someone was using a lazer pointer in the sky.

I was sitting around a campfire with a couple friends and my girlfriend, and my girlfriend and I looked up at the sky and saw this small red dot zipping around the sky. It was doing figure eights, and moving pretty eratically at an unthinkable speed. Like some one was using a lazer pointer but obviously that would be impossible.

We still think about it once and a while today.

I am convinced it was either a meteor that was going out of control haha or it had to be something paranormal.

If anyone has seen anything like this I would love to hear from you.

Brilliant green craft observed near Anoka county rd 9 in Andover, MN., 1145pm 06/02/06 two witnesses

I saw a brilliantly lit green craft flying just over the tree tops as I was driving to my relatives home just before midnight. I could tell the craft was moving in the same direction I was. I saw small lights of reddish orange in what appeared to be the back of the craft. It was about the size of a large home. I have never seen any craft that ever loked as unique or as impressive as this one. I looked at the craft for only about 10 seconds due to my driving at night. The craft quickly disappeared. When I arrived home, my brother in law discribed seeing the same green craft coming out of the sky and hovering behind trees about 5-8 minutes before I saw the craft. He mentioned that while he was driving, another car in front of him must have seen the craft also because they put on their brakes and slowed down. He thought it was going to crash on or near the road due to it's descending angle towards the ground.

Stationary Chevron Shaped Object visible above tree top level...

At approximately 6:00 pm (EST) on January 7, 2005 I was driving north on route 125 (approx. 1 mile south of the intersection with route 114). When bright lights in the sky caught my eye. At first I thought this might be a plane but, as I drove closer I realized it was stationary. My next thought was could it be a helicopter? No, as there was no sound from blades. As I got closer I could see that the object was Chevron in shape hovering about 150 feet above ground level. It had 2 very bright white lights positioned in it's center front section with no additional red or green lights. As I passed beneath the object I could see an orange/gold glow illuminating it's bottom surface. It appeared to be rather large I would estimate it at some 300 feet wide and 50 to 75 feet from front to back.

Three objects, two headed north, one headed south, all about 2 minutes apart.

My wife was outside and noticed a meteor shoot across the sky. She came inside to tell us about it, and myself and my 3 sons went outside to see if there were any more. Within 2 minutes my wife noticed an object traveling north, higher than a plane, consistent speed. Another couple minutes passed, we observed another, in almost the same path as the first. About 4 minutes later we observed another traveling south, opposite direction as the first two, but in what looked to be the same flight path. The sky became hazy and our observation ended.

Random Moving Object

It was about 11 o'clock as my friend and I lay in a field checking out the stars. We were looking for shooting stars when I thought I spotted one. It was the same size as the stars, except it was moving so I thought I had found one. Then I was puzzled to find that it started to change its direction going left to right, then up and down, in a random movement. It would turn right on the button. Eventually we had to leave so we did not get to finish watching it.

We presume the witness means July 23, not July 24. We have changed the date here. PD

emmited a green/white glow

note: i am not reporting a sighting, i am here to report an abduction. the date was 9/8/99 four days ago, my cat was sitting outside of my house while i was inside watching tv. the door had been left open for the animal to move in and out with out me have ing to move. at about 1:30 am, my cable went out, as did the rest of the electricity in the house. then there appeared an eerie glow from the open door. the glow was a soft green/white, sort of a muted color. at this time i did not no what do do, i thought some of my friends were trying to play a practical joke on me. although i did not know what the glow was i moved out of my chair and slowly towards the door. as i swung my head around the frame of the door, the light dissapeared. i noticed that the electrical power had been returned to the house, because the lights in the room i had been in, turned on again. the cable box said the time was now 2:32 (am). when i noticed this, i thought that maybe it had been a problem with the returning of power to the home. i went to sit down in the same chair and i realized that it had been moved. i got nervous and moved quickly to the stairs (going up), when i reached my bedroom (in search of a flashlight) i noticed the clock said that the current time was 2:33 (am), the clocks in the next room, also had the same time. now i was very worried, i ran back to the kitchen, in which the exit to my house was. and noticed that i had recieved several messages, including one with my boss asking why i hadnt come to work that day. the date was 9/9/99, i had no recolection of where i had been for the previous day and an about hour. my cat has not sinse returned and my finger nails had been "trimmed" there was also a black residue on them that seemed to dissolve before i woke up on 9/10/99. i contacted the police but the said they couldnt help me. i guess i am all alone here. what you have heard is not fiction, although in many a desperate moment i most certainly wish it had been. its over for now, it seems, or at least until yesterday begins again...tomorrow.

1 Enormous Sized Craft at Cruising Speed, Northbound Direction, Highway 495, Andover, Ma. Area, In The Early Morning.

Great People @ National U.F.O. Reporting Center and Others, At the moment of my sighting of the Craft, I was approx. 36 years of age. My education consisted of an 8th Grade education. I was self taught and learned from highly intelligent, artistic and Spiritual People when it came to Science, Art, and Spiritual matters, and was/am very proficient in all these areas. I was/am completely drug free, (prescription and otherwise), that could have an impact on my psychological state, as well as my physical and spiritual states and the whole of me. I hadn’t consumed any alcohol for at least 6 months prior to my sighting of it and not in any great amounts. I have never been diagnosed with any mental illness which would blur/alter my perception. I was on disability for anxiety at the time, and managing it very well, and in great mental/spiritual/physical health. I’m wasn’t/am not prone to lying or exaggerating. I’ve never tried to make or have I made money as a result of my Craft sighting, and/or have I sought any attention from others about it.

As of the date of this posting I’ve related my account of my encounter with the Craft to a very select few, special People whom I’ve had the great pleasure of knowing. I did not document the exact time/date after my encounter with the Craft because I was content with having the information stay with me and with the select few, special People mentioned before. I’m being moved to share my encounter of the Craft to include The National U.F.O. Reporting Center People and you who are reading this report.

I was driving my 1987 Rose Mist colored Mercury Cougar XR7 8 cylinder while listening to the stereo on highway 495, heading in a Southbound direction in the vicinity of Andover, Ma., sometime around the year 1999. I cannot yet recall the weather conditions in detail but visibility was clear as far as my eyes could see. My vision at that period was accurate enough to the point of not needing any corrective wear such as eyeglasses, contacts, other. It was in the early morning hours and nobody else was present on the highway except for a few truckers, and I noticed a few breakdowns in the breakdown lane, (passenger cars). There seemed to me to be more breakdowns than usual by the way of the passenger cars. A Raytheon Plant was somewhere nearby, but not in my physical sight. I was driving toward my then favorite meditation/recreation spot. An immense Craft (1), charcoal to jet black was approaching in the opposite direction of my direction and I saw it coming.

The Craft was cruising directly overhead of my vehicle heading Northbound along Highway 495 at a straight forward angle, at a distance of around 50 to 100 feet. I lowered the stereo to see if I could hear any sound and I perceived/felt a very steady energy and a feeling of a decrease of gravity and a decrease in the torque of my motion as well. I asked myself if it belonged to the U.S. Government and answered myself that it probably did not. I then sighted the Craft for size/shape and it was wider than a football field for sure, but I can’t say exactly how long because it carefully blended in with the night sky. I can honestly say it was very long. The speed at which it was moving was not extremely fast at all but very steady. The only way that I can estimate the speed is to compare the speed of this craft with a car, if a car was moving in the same direction as the Craft (opposite of my direction), and I can say that it was moving less than the speed limit of the high! way at the time, (65-75 m.p.h.).

I noticed the Craft had a thick density sort of like an aircraft carriers and looked to be made of some very solid material. I don’t remember there being many lights, but there may have been a few. As it passed over my vehicle the radio went to static. I craned my neck upward, forward (windshield area) and said something in sheer awe and excitement as it passed overhead. I wasn’t afraid at all and I’m still not fearful, I was just amazed and highly energized in a calm manner. That’s the closest words that I can come up with to describe my emotion/energy for it. My encounter cannot be expressed to you in words but they are all I have for this report. I craned my neck back to my right backward, (bucket seats) to see if I could see it behind me, (the rear window on the 1987 Mercury Cougar XR7 is narrow and long), and the Craft blended out following its same course.

I felt a polarity shift and a definite charge of energy and looked around to see if anybody else was showing signs of it. All I remember seeing was people on the side of the road, (breakdown lane) on the highway. I wasn’t close enough to the people to see what their states were. I got the impression they were experiencing something different from usual whether they were aware of it or not.

I stopped at a nearby Dunkin’ Donuts just off Highway 495 South. The waitress appeared casually normal in a business as usual manner. I did not come across any other people there. I proceeded driving to my meditation spot close by, noticing very few cars on the highway. When I arrived at my spot there were a few people around and they appeared sleepy/tired and nobody was talking or moving as usual. They all appeared to be sleepy/tired and stayed in their cars to themselves. I drank my coffee and reviewed my encounter with the Craft. I felt very calm yet very energized and different with a much higher awareness and enlightenment than I had prior to my sighting of the Craft. I was then faced with who do I tell about it? I didn’t let it bother me and I went home with a feeling beyond words.

Within approx. a one month period after the encounter, I parked my same Mercury Cougar at a friends house, went in for coffee, heard sirens outside, saw swirling red lights, and my local Fire Dept. were in the Apt. Building parking lot putting a fire out that had broken out in my car. It was the electrical system for sure because in hindsight I smelled something not quite right in the car, but did not have it checked. I took the odor as possibly being from my cigarettes that I smoked and I didn’t want to a). incur expensive diagnostic expenses, b). I was wary about being forthright with information and my experience of the Craft to a car mechanic, or anyone else for that matter. I said nothing about the encounter or the correlation to the fire of the car and honestly thanked the Law. Fire Dept. for extinguishing the fire. There were a few witnesses present and there was no damage to other people’s property and/or personal injury.

I wanted to report this encounter a few times in the past but something/someone told me to wait. I’ve waited long enough and this is my encounter in total truth and honesty. I could probably remember more details if I was in the proper hands of a skilled Hypnotist. It would have to be handled honestly, truthfully, and scientifically for me to do it. The documentation would have to also be handled honestly, truthfully and proper for it’s kind. I’m skeptical yet open in pursuing it with the proper People as long as the stated criteria are met.

The facts being what they are in that; the Craft was in a position where there were not alot of People, the vicinity of Raytheon in relationship to the Craft, its’ size, speed in relation to its’ size, altitude, energy, and the number of increased car breakdowns, as well as the effects of the energy on Myself, along with the car radio going to static, the frying of the electrical system on my Mercury Cougar XR7, the very positive after effects it had on me, all make me know for sure that it was not a U.S. Government or any other earthly Government aircraft.

It would not be safe to assume that any anxiety I had prior to my sighting of the Craft was increased. As a matter of fact the anxiety I had decreased as a result of my sighting of it. The other positive effects on me are too numerous to mention in this report.

I sincerely thank the great People at The Nation U.F.O. Reporting Center for allowing me to report my encounter. I thank Peter Davenport, whom I heard speaking on Coast to Coast Radio and I perceive he is a truthful, dedicated, and great man. I’ll continue with my discretion regarding my encounter and any other encounters and thanks to all the great People who benefit from this report. We’ll be better for it for sure.

Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

Blue ovallish object stationary in the sky and then bolts across the horizon.

It was probably around ten O'clock and my mother and I were driving home on a winding road in a wooded area.

We came around a bend and there was an object in a fixed position in the sky that seemed to simply be hovering there. It was blue and ovalish and seemed almsot liquid like as the colors seemed to ebb and flow.

As we continued along the road I watched it and as we passed almost directly under it, it zipped across the horizon at an unfathomable speed and was gone.

I looked at my mom and asked her if she had seen if and she said she had.

The article about the Chicago O'hare UFO sighting reminded me of this because the description was almost exact except for the color (though they saw it at dusk which could account for the discrepancy).

Anyway, I have no idea what it was or could be, but do find it interesting each time I recognize descriptions of similar phenomena.

enormous transparent cylinder/cigar shaped object w/stars(?) attached

The incident took place sometime around 2:00 a.m. in Andover, Massachusetts. I was out for the evening with a group of friends. We were warming our cars up outside of a restaurant we had spent a few hours at. I was standing outside of my car talking with some of them in another car through their windows. For some reason, I happened to look up and notice how clear the sky was. A few seconds later I either looked up again or something caught my attention. I saw this enormous "thing" that took up my entire peripheral vision. It seemed football fields in size. It was transparent except that you could somehow make out a cylindrical or cigar form (I couldn't really see the ends fully - the transparency sort of tapered off). It was rotating as it was moving across the sky (similar to a cement truck travelling down the road spinning the cement). It had (what appeared to be) stars attached to it that seemed to be evenly spaced apart, but not in any particular formation. The same size but maybe a little brighter than "normal" stars. You could tell they were attached to this "thing" because you could see them going around with the rotations of the anomaly as opposed to the typical stationary stars I could see through the object. One of my friends in the car I was standing outside of heard my exclamation and saw my expression and pulled himself out through his open window quickly to try to see what I was looking at. He is an amateur astronomer and knows how quickly things can disappear. Without making a noise the anomaly made its way across the sky travelling quite quickly. The sighting lasted about 10-15 seconds until it was too far for us to view it any longer or disappeared. My friend and I were quite shaken after the event. He describes it as if the sky opened up. I describe it as if a piece of sky was cut out and was moving against the rest of the sky. No alcohol was consumed that evening as many have curiously asked me.

cigar shape, south central kansas 1992 or 1993

the date is an estimate. i know it was mid-afternoon in the summer when i was 10 or 11 years old. many of the details are hazy, but here's the basic story. some friends and i were in our neighborhood playing near one of those tree lines originally planted as a windbreak. we were all aged between 10 and 12 at the time. we were headed back to this tree line when one of my friends happened to look up and told us there was a funny looking 'thing' in the sky. turning north (tree line to the west), we looked and saw a cigar-shaped silvery-white object at about 45 degrees in the ENE. living near a few small airports and an air force base, we thought it was a plane, until someone mentioned there was no trail or exhaust. then we thought it was a large bird, but then realized that the 'wings' never flapped, and there was no possible way a bird could coast that long. there were few other characteristics we could see, as it was fairly high, and the sun only enhanced the bright silver color. it moved from ENE to WNW pretty quickly, and then disappeared b/c of a combination of sun and the tree line. as we were wondering what is was, another appeared in the exact same spot as the first and repeated the whole thing again. a third one did the same thing, and although we waited for more, we have never seen another since. we resumed our activities, thinking maybe it was a satellite or something, although we jokingly called it 'our UFO' for years afterwards. it wasn't until i was reading another posting on here describing a VERY similar experience that i realized that maybe we weren't so far off.

High altitude point of light makes high speed instantaneous 90 degree turn and accelerates rapidly

I was walking back to my dorm at my prep school on a cold winter evening when I saw a point of light moving fairly rapidly directly from West to East across the clear sky on a track passing somewhat to the North of me. I had long enough to say to myselt that it seemed to be faster than a satelite, but much slower than a meteor. When it got directly North of me it made an instantaneous 90 degree turn to the North without changing velocity. Then it accelerated of over the horizon (New Hampshire) in what seemed like an instant! I was dumbfounded that an object could seem to make a right angle turn in the air (or space), which seemed to defy the physics I was learning in school.
