Mysterious bright lights in sky in middle of dark night

The light was 2 balls stuck to each other in a peanut shape. It was so bright it woke me up, I thought it was daytime. We live in a farm with no nighttime light pollution aside from the moon. We have no blinds or curtains as the room gets nearly pitch black, we have a 1/4 mile driveway through woods so there is no road traffic pollution, our closest neighbors are a half mile away.

These orb lights hovered above the sky light window in our room most of the time, but it did seem to circle our farm property for a bit too, and the light changed which 2nd story window it shined through after sometime, before returning back to the centrally located skylight.

I was walking my dog when I saw this orb moving steadily in the sky at around the height of a plane or possibly lower.

I spotted one bluish orb moving steadily eastward while walking my dog. It changed colors from blue to green to white. Because there were no blinking lights like on a plane it caught my attention. I started talking directly to it and as soon as I did it started to dim then disappeared. I got it on video.

Very bright circular light under cloudline traveling slowly south/south west with object pulsing from white to blue, disappearing too

I was traveling South on Highway 69 from Southern end of Verona, WI (after passing under Highway 151) headed South through rural farm land towards Belleville, WI. Object was circular, very bright at times but pulsed from white light to bluish to VERY bright white and then would periodically disappear and reappear erratically.

It had NO blinking flight lights. No sound (saw it after I pulled into my driveway and got out). It was moving slowly from north to south/south west. I saw it approximately for 20 minutes or so until it disappeared into southern horizon.

My teenage son came out and saw it before it was gone.

I’m a stargazer and love seeing air flight tech (planes, helicopters, drones, etc). This was very unusual, out of place, odd, and like nothing I had seen before. I always try to debunk.

It very well could be a mixture of strange lighting and perhaps a plane, helicopter, drone with malfunctioning lights that caused weird lighting and strange depth perception visuals, but this seemed just different and off.

It also was not Starlink or a meteor. I know what those look like.

My son and I were siting in the Kitchen when a military helicopter flew low overhead (under 500'). We went outside to see what was happening and we saw the first helicopter flying south. Then a a 2nd helicopter was spotted to our west at about 1500'. It was also flying south.

We stood outside for a minute watching the 2nd helicopter and looking across the sky to see what they were following. That is when an overhead star I was directly looking at started to move. It was much higher than the two helicopters and it started flying south too, but then turned up into the sky and disappeared into the distance.

Sighting was at 7:40 pm, Saturday December 19th, 2019, In Belleville, KS.  As I was driving west down Hwy 36 with my 12 year old daughter, I noticed a bright star/planet in the sky. Then I noticed it would fade as it traveled up in a 45 degree angle. I pulled over into an empty lot and started watching. That is when I noticed it was a pattern of lights traveling in this angle. As one Began to burn brightly above the tree line out of no where and start going up, the one before it would get lighter, the one  before that would get dimmer, and the last would burn out. My daughter stepped out from the van to see what dad was watching and started yelling, "what is that?" All I could say with disbelief was, "I don't know... I don't know" We watched as this pattern continued for 30 seconds or more. I tried to take film, but my phone would not get a clear shot because of the street lights. It almost looked like it could be a large spinning object because the lights would just start in the atmosphere and move from south west to north west in that same angle 20 feet above the tree line. the objects were not rising from earth, but starting in the sky and ending in the upper part of the sky line. The pattern would start left and go right. and when the last Light started up, it was a bigger and brighter golden ball then the others and took longer to fade out as it went from south west to north west in night sky. it was just amazing to watch these lights start glowing out of no where and move left to right. I have included a picture I put together of what we saw and in the horizon area we watched it. best part was my daughter was able to witness this too.

My daughters report:  Dec 21 2019 Belleville KS 7:40 pm:  I thought it was weird that my father pulled over and yelled at me to get out of the car. What I first saw it as  was either a drone or a missile. But it couldn't have been a drone since it was the size of a planet. The objects seem to be going in a 45 degree angle as I was facing  west. A shooting light of objects that seemed to ba a bright glow with a fade off of blue.

They seemed to keep coming one to two seconds after each other. There seemed to be about 12 to 15 objects. They seem to have the same lighting as a roman candle. But started from the middle of the sky. They almost seemed to be a rotating item. They all seemed to be traveling in a straight line and just fade off.

Witness familiar with area was surprised enough to report some strange objects near Scott AFB.

Witness went to the kitchen and from my patio doors saw two pulsating, strobe like lights in the Eastern sky. The lights flashed red and white and were above the tree line. The lights came closer growing in size and hovered side by side. The one on the left moved away from the other light and the lights of both objects pulsed faster and brighter. Then the light on the right went to the East and witness watched until it was out of sight. The other light went south and was observed to move fast across the sky until it was out of sight. Neither one diverted from its path, in other words they moved straight in a path. Witness first thought of the lights that flashed on high towers but realized there are no towers there. Witness thought it might be a reflection but there was nothing in the house behind that was lighting up and there were no windows behind witness. The lights reminded witness of strobe lights as they were pulsating very fast. They were too large an! d too bright to be airplane lights and moved much faster. Witness lives near an Air-Force base and an airport so observes airplanes, jets, and helicopters on an hourly basis. The only thought was that it might have been large drones.

Bright light, loud hum, and displacement of my car.

A couple left my friends house at around 2 in the morning, and I was driving up on a highway, past my old intermediate school. Take in mind my friend's house is only a 5 minute drive from the school.

I saw a light in the sky that seemed brighter than the rest, and it kept getting brighter and bigger. I was gonna take my phone out to record but as soon as i was getting it out of my back pack, my car started shaking and a loud humming noise started to come from outside. I dropped my phone and the light was practically taking up the view from my windshield and i couldn't see anything so i stopped my car. For a good 15 seconds my car was almost vibrating and the loud humming noise intensified.

I reached down to get my phone to record but when i looked up the humming stopped and the light was gone. My car was farther up the street than where i originally thought i stopped my car when the light appeared, which left me confused but i assumed i might've let my foot off the brake and moved forward a bit, but my car couldn't have gone that far as slow as i was going, especially up hill.

At this time i was really confused as to what happened, i thought maybe a plane or trucker came too close to me and just shook my car. But it lasted almost 20 seconds.

I also noticed it was almost 2:15. and i swear i left my friend's at 2 am, so i don't know how 10 minutes passed that fast or what even happened.

Former student pilot sees an object that he can't explain.

I was in my back yard with my son flying a RC airplane when I just happend to see a cylinder shaped object above the clouds. I tried to keep an eye on it but I didnt want to crash my airplane so I had to switch between the plane and object while I landed the plane. I observed the white colored object go behind the clouds and reappear. The thing appeared to move very slow and made no noise. I can't really say as to the size of the object with nothing else in the sky to compare it to but if I had to guess I would say the length of an airliner but twice the diameter. The object had just a dull white color, no markings, and nothing that would suggest control surfaces or engines.

Once I landed my RC plane which was about 30 seconds after I spotted the object, It had disappeared. I did not see it vanish nor did I hear anything. There were only a few clouds in the sky that evening so I dont think it could just hide in a cloudbank.

4 ufos moving silently across the sky. 2 were in formation.

Hello, Thanks for taking time to look at the videos. They were seen around 7pm in Belleville, NJ. Headed towards nyc. There were 4 total. 2 were in a formation and they just vanished after going north east.

My family saw them and my neighbor. They were taken on 3 different cell phones. I have no clue what they were but they werent planes or balloons. They were silent, changing color, moving fast and then disappeared. I have more videos if you need.

I spotted a triangle-teardrop shaped object with white, red , green and blue lights! It stopped quickly and hovered a few seconds.

It then quickly jetted to the left and lifted straight up in the sky. I have noticed this object for months but never seen it move that fast in an opposite direction .

During the summer months, i could see it but thought maybe it was a satelite!

Very fast rectangular shape craft.

November 13th, 930pm.

It was a crystal clear evening with very little moonlight. I was standing out on my deck looking at the stars as I often do. Something caught my eye to the West.

At first I thought it was a satellite. This was very high altitude. I then noticed that there were two soft glowing lights, one on each end of a rectangular shape. The shape had a slight curve toward the middle of both the front and back. It was traveling North to South.

It also seemed to have a swirling bluish green glow moving in a random pattern all over the shape.

I have viewed many satellites, the ISS and aircraft of all kinds. I have never seen anything moving this quickly across the sky. I would guess on average, a satellite would take 45 seconds to a minute to cross through my vision of sight. This object covered that same distance in 6-8 seconds.

Bright orange flashing sky.

Woke up from sleep and saw the sky flickering. Like a light switch was going on and off. Sky was orange, blue, white, green. Would get really dim then would kick back up again very bright.

Woke my fiancé up and he too witnessed this bright light that covered the sky. About 1/2 hour later the power went out a couple of times.

Plan on calling the electric company to see if they have a reason for the power outage. I could understand if a electric box blew up but this lasted for way too long.

Not long after seeing the lights my dog urinated on the floor which is unusual, the last two days have been like this with her.

I was so freaked out that I didn't take a video of it, normally I would grab my phone but this was too out of the ordinary.

Cigar shaped craft with pulsating red & green chevron lights hovering over treeline in Belleville, Indiana.

I had just left Greencastle, Indiana, when I had just entered the Hendricks County line. Approximately 3 minutes away from Belleville, Indiana, I was driving my car on U.S. Highway 40. I looked up to see a bright star in the right of my windshield, and to the right, I saw a red/green light. At first glance it looked like a radio tower, so I thought nothing of it. As I tried to focus in on the object (while also trying to maintain position on the road), I realized that there was no radio tower in that area, nor would a radio tower reach a couple hundred feet above the treeline. I began to slow down my car so I could focus in on the object more. Considering I was the only one on the road for a little ways, I slowed down to around 20 mph. When I looked into my upper left hand side, I saw what seemed to be a blackened cigar shaped craft, with pulsing chevron red & green lights. It looked like the lights were on a conveyor belt, basically rotating around the cra! ft. As I began to speed back up, the craft disappeared. I tried to rule out, though I am not denying the fact that it is a possibility that this craft was in fact a helicopter, plane, or other perfectly normal object. However, there were no "blinking" lights like a plan, nor would a plane hover in the same spot for a few minutes. A helicopter could hover, however I would have assumed I would have heard some bit of noise. Not here, it was silent.

I went outside on break at my cosmetology school. When I looked up at the sky there appeared to be what I thought was a plane. It was a bright light and looked like it was going to crash. It suddenly stopped and I just stared and stared not able to take my eyes off of it. It changed into a tear drop shape and then to a rectangle. It then started to get very small and disappeared. I was in too much shock to get my phone and record it but I freaked out because I had never seen something like it!

I'd like to share a post from my old blog. I was a senior in high school, and it was a very cold snowy morning. I had been waiting at my bus stop with my neighbor. The object was a kite shape, and each corner had a bright light that seemed to be connected by the pulsating colors between them. It was HUGE and hovered over a corn field. My neighbor and I tried recording it, but both of our phones froze. The object appeared to vanish, almost bleeding into the dark sky.

"This morning while waiting at my bus stop, I saw something that I do believe to be an unexplained phenomena. The event lasted for a short while. I first noticed it from the corner of my eye: a bright flash of light filled the sky. My first thought was heat lighting, since there was no thunder that followed. I looked over, and the sky lit up once again! I stared in awe. I had now noticed that the sky pulsated with a red and blue light that caused the illusion of purple in some parts of it. It was so beautiful that one could mistake it for the northern lights (which was my second idea). It happened about three to four times within the timespan of less than a minute or so. I pulled out my phone to record it, but my phone wouldn't respond- and by the time I got to recording, it had stopped and my bus came moments later. I now feel a strange atmosphere and I have a feeling I have witnessed something important. I'm not sure what, but I will never forget how gorgeous it was, ! the bewilderment I felt, and what I still feel because of it."​

I was outside with my wife around 10:55 pm talking. I looked up and saw three to four orange yellow lights traveling south west. The did not blink or hover, but continued to move and change direction and formation, although to my wife it looked like one craft turning. I live next to an air base but didn't hear any noise from the craft. I did see an airplane after the objects disappeared, but it was much further away.

Red shape changing "fire" ball zigzaging in sky

We saw a red ball in the sky. While recording it, it started to zig zag in different directions. As it was moving in fast speed it would also get long and skinny then back into a ball shape.

There also seem to be different shades of color within the ball. Seemed to be a yellowish color in the middle with a red outside.

While watching the video in slow motion on our T.V. it seemed to have a bottom shaped in squares; like outlined boxes.

I was heading home to Dearborn from Kalamazoo eastbound on I-94, and I saw what at first appeared to be an airplane coming from Detroit Metro. To my recollection there were four of them heading west.

At first I thought it was a strange flight path for airplanes, but as I got closer, all I saw was a ball of light, four of them to my memory, heading westbound, at a fairly low altitude. Several cars were pulled off the road taking pictures and videos.

I decided today to look on the internet and see if anyone posted pictures of these but I did not find any. I did find one video on youtube but it was in Hartland, MI and on a different day. The lights were the same though.

As I approached I was between Belleville road and Haggerty, and when I got to the I-275 overpass they disappeared. I have lived here for 20+ years and am used to seeing airplanes of all kinds from Willow Run and DTW, but I cannot explain this.

For the record, I also DO NOT believe in aliens or martians. But I still can't explain this. I am surprised based on the number of cars that were pulled over taking pictures that I could not find any on the internet.

Unidentified Balls of light fly over Belleville after 4th of July celebration.

On the night of the 4th of July I witnessed something in the sky that I could not explain. Yes, I understand that everyone is shooting fireworks into the sky. However, what I witnessed I do not believe were fireworks.

I was with a group of friends, some adults and some children. We were firing off fireworks on a dead end street. Lots of people in surrounding areas were doing the same. We had just fired off the last of the fireworks and things became quiet for a few minutes. As I walked into the street I heard one of my friends say, "Hey check out thos!" As I looked up into the sky, I was expecting to see some more fireworks exploding, only these did not appear to be fireworks.

What I saw in the sky that night were small, round, what I considered to be balls of light. They were a yellowish orange color. At first there were only 2 that I could see so I continued to watch them. They were moving constantly at the same speed from the south to the north. These objects were moving horizontally not vertically. Everyone in our group became fixated on these things. Within seconds we saw more balls of light following. I really started to pay attention at this point. I asked my friends if they had any idea what they were, although no one had any good ideas. These things just kept coming from the south and fading off to the north. I started to take some pictures on my phone because I had no idea what these were. I don’t have a video phone so all I got was still pictures. I wanted to narrow this down to somehow explain this. These things were not making any noise that I could tell, they all stayed in the same position as they moved by, and they were not moving! fast. From the time you first saw one it would take at least 1 to 2 minutes until you could not see it anymore. There was no smoke or con trails behind these objects. They did not flash or have any lights on them. These things were round in shape but you could not see any “hard” lines on them. They were on what seemed to be a straight line path going from south to north. I did not count them because of the sheer volume of these things. There had to have been over 100 of these. They all trailed pretty close behind one another and just kept coming, yet they were not in any pattern or formation. I would guess that these objects were trailing across the sky over the distance of at least 5 to 10 miles. From start to finish we watched these things for every bit of 10 minutes. I actually called my girlfriend to ask her if she could see the same thing in a neighboring town, she could not see what we did. I talked to other friends that were just about 1 mile away from us and they ! said they saw them but thought they were hot air balloons.

My friends did not seem to be concerned about this and were saying that there was probably an explanation. I myself was not satisfied with this. When I got up the next day this was all I could think about. I started to look on the internet for answers but got none. I have lived next to an air force base all of my life and have seen many aircraft in the sky yet what I saw that night I cannot explain and I wish I could. I actually thought that since this was such a huge thing going on in the sky on the 4th of July that it would be all over the news and in the news paper, yet there were no news stories. I believed that thousands of people had to have witnessed this also, there has to be video of this somewhere, and credible people had to have seen this.

What I witnessed that night I still can’t explain and I am still looking for answers. I do not assume that these were "UFOs." However until I can find out what they were; they are still UNIDENTIFIED! I remember clearly what happened that night and I am willing to tell anyone, I just want some answers.

Large triangular UFO sighting near Belleville, IL

My boyfriend and I were driving on I-64 near Belleville, IL on our way to St. Charles, MO. We noticed a bright light through the trees in a field to the right of the interstate about 200 yards away. At first we thought it was a large helicopter but when we got closer we noticed the object was very large, and in a triangular or arrowhead shape with 3 bright lights at each corner. It also had small lights going around the sides, mostly white. The object was hovering, as if suspended in midair, above the tree line, probably 150-200 feet off of the ground. At first I thought it might be some kind of tower in the field, judging from its large size, low position, and the fact that it was completely still. We also heard no noise, but we were driving. However, as we drove by it, I watched in the rear window and the object began to move south very slowly, probably about 20 mph, over the interstate and disappeared over the trees. Neither of us was sure what to think and I haven’t seen anything in the news today but I know others on the interstate with us must have seen the object too. The object looked very similar to what was described in the Travel Channel special titled “UFO Over Illinois.” Prior to this, my boyfriend did not believe in extraterrestrials or UFO’s but now claims to be a believer. It was a very chilling experience. I’m interested to see if anyone else reports seeing it too.

Brite White Light in Southwest Sky Near STL.

Thursday June 05, 2008 Belleville, Illinois 10:32pm I was out on my back patio looking South up at the clear evening sky.

From my West out of the corner of my eye I saw a brite white light off in the distance, at first I thought it was a high flying aircraft.

But as the light approached from the West, the object was much higher in altitude then I originally thought, almost like looking at a satellite passing over but much brighter and faster.

I thought it might be the ISS passing over the house, but as the brite white object was just about directly over me the light dimmed quickly and dissapeared.

I waited a few minutes looking to see if the object would reappear down range on it's path but it did not, the lighted object just dissapeared? The object made no sounds and had no other lights.

Irritating sounds from a low flying object

I heard a sound like a transformer sound. It became irritating enough to wake me. I look out my back window facing north. I notised what looked like a large almost triangle like object above the trees moving at a really slow speed. No lights on it just a grey looking object. It moved from a north headed to south east direction. The transformer sound did get loud enough to cover your ears. You could hear what sounded like pleaty of electricty passing threw it. I would guess the speed to be about 5 mph.

Dull white starlike object traveling east to west

Friday December 05, 2003. 11:27pm. I stepped onto my back deck like I do every night before turning in for the night, I looked in the sky and noticed that the sky has cleared after being cloudy all day, crystal clear. And just then out of the eastern sky an object appeared, dull white almost starlike in appearance crossed over my house at speed. It traveled from east to west and made 1 manuver, right to left before dissaperaing into the western sky toward St. Louis. This object left no con trailor sound, and traveled much fastern than any jet or plane and it seemed low in alltitude compaired to normal aircraft flight patterns around my house.

space junk, meteroite I have seen both, and I dont know what this was!

hovering craft

I was at a friends house in Belleville. I went outside to watch the metor shower. My friend was inside sleeping. I was watching the metors for a while when I noticed a strange object in the sky off to my right. It seemed to be just hovering there & was dark in color. At first, I just passed it off as some sort of metor or a star. But after sitting outside for a while, I noticed it was still in the same area, justhovering. If it was a metor or str it would have been moving, because the other strs & metors in the sky were moving, but this was just hovering. I got up from my seat and started string at it. Then I relized it was metalic in color. It was kind of low to the ground & just hovering there, it had kind of a dome on top of it. Then I decided to walk closer to get a better look at it. As I was walking closer to it, it just took off & disappeared into the night sky. This kind of gave me the chills & scred me so I ended up going in the house afterwards & not even finishing watching the metor shower. This object was not really making any noise, except like a humming noise of some sort.

Againt blue object in the sky gets chased away by 2 planes.

My Girlfriend and I were going home from a movie, when we saw a cylinder or circler object in the sky. The object was right ahead of my car. The object kept getting bigger and more blue. We got up to a stop light and the people next to us were looking at it. Then all of the sudden it drop down in the sky then slowly faded off. Like the light kept getting dimmer and then it shot across the sky. We were pretty freaked out. We thought we saw it again but to military jets when flying over our head. The planes were going in the direction of were the object went.

Several spherical lights clustered together and moving independently in the SE sky. NOT STARS. Witnessed by Astonomy tutor .

As a former Astronomy tutor at the University, I went outside almost every night this summer to have a cigarette and enjoy the night sky, My roommate and myself watched Mars move across the sky over the summer months.

We were used to seeing the hororscopial constellations moved across the sky through the night and see a changing sky

This particular night, I went out rather late in the evening- around 1 am. My porch faces South where Sagittarius (shaped like a big teapot) was pouring her tea and Scorpio was setting in the west. As I looked South and about 30 degrees above the horizon, I saw clusters of stars moving though the clouds. I had to really concentrate to figure out what I was looking at. I counted 11 in one clustered area which made me realize that it just wasn't possible to, by fluke, have That many planes in the sky (at one time) AND in such a close proximity!

I woke up my roommate and brought him outside to get a second opinion. Then I realized I could try taking some digital photos. My shots showed clusters of very bright star like and cigar like lights.

We both agreed it was unusual and probably unlikely that so many places could be in one area of the sky at once. We never saw more than three planes on the sky before and this night we saw 15 to 30 of them!

I couldn't find my upload cable for my camera, so I just left it for months. I told a few people, but I didn't really want to report it as UFO reporting is bit embarrassing.



Anyway, I happen to live in a place that would probably welcome the story. Belleville, Wisconsin...a city that claims to be "The UFO Capital of the World". Or at least they take on that claim as a motto for their fall --UFO Festival.

This year I took my daughter to the parade and then to the children's games at the local school. One of the friends I told my story to, retold it to a reporter at the festival who found me and asked for an interview. She asked me to email her my photos, which made motivated me to find my camera cable and upload the photos. So, it wasn't until 2 months later that I actually looked at what I photographed.



They are good pictures, although I wish they could have captured the numbers of lights that we saw with our eyes.

white to yellow to orange light in the Southern Wisconsin sky

Having seen something a half hour before this (report already submitted to you), I drove back out to the area myself. I did spot the light, changing from white to yellow to orange and traveling what seemed to be north/northwest. I found a high hill to position my car on and stopped. I watched it move N and it just faded away and I could not see it anymore. I had been sitting there maybe 30 seconds. The total sighting was about 4 minutes. Just wanted you to know that at your urging on the phone today, I did call our little local newspaper. He said that he had gotten a call about 2 wks ago from someone who had seen something very similar. He is planning on putting something in the paper (without names) and I urged him to list your website and your phone number. I also told him that you recommended a tripod and getting time, sight duration, and direction detail. He also said that my description was absolutely identical to the sighting that our local police officer and friend had about 13 years ago here. Identical. 13 years ago was when Belleville had a large, large amt of sightings.

White to yellow to orange single bright light in Southern Wisconsin sky.

Having seen something unusual the nite before (also reported to you), my sister in law (dental hygenist/volunteer paramedic) and my brother in law (chiropractor) and I went out on a drive. We had heard from friends which area it was sighted in and drove down that road (SW of Belleville). At 8:02pm, rounding a corner and going west, we finally saw what our friends were talking about! Bright, bright light, subtley changing from white to yellow to orange and was located on the passenger side of the car. It was moving slowly, towards the north, it looked like. Decided to stop at the stop sign to film it and get it sighted in with the binoculars. As my sister in law was coming to a stop, my brother in law (drivers side backseat) started to get out. Unfortunately, he got out before she was actually stopped and somehow his foot got under the car and under the cars tire, twisting his whole leg. He was in a great deal of pain and couldn't tell us what had happened for several seconds. He got out of the car to get control of himself and looked up and saw that the light in the sky had disappeared! Both of us in the front seat looked and sure enough it had vanished from sight. My brother in law later removed his shoe and sock to find much blood and a huge piece of skin ripped off his foot (about the size of small apple). A day later he is nursing a very sore leg, especially the twisted thigh area. He is lucky not to have a broken leg. Strange happenings. After going back to their house, I got in my car and rode back out to the area. I didn't expect to see anything, but didn't have anything better to do that nite. I did see it again and I have filled out another report of yours detailing. Later that night after going home, there was a helicopter that went over really, really low over my house, N of Belleville. This is out of the norm.

I have reported sightings on the two previous days and today again it looked different. It almost looked like one giant sparkler. The object moved only slightly and we were again looking west to northwest. We did not watch it as much as we had the two previous nights, but tonight everytime we would watch it, it would get larger then smaller with it always being bright in color (red, blue, yellow). There was a halo around it as well. During the time we saw it, there was a plane that seemed to pass underneath it. Nothing happened, just that we noticed a plane going by it.

White to yellow to orange light moving N or NW in the S. Wisconsin sky

My sister called me at 8:23 and said that her father in law in Belleville had seen something strange in the sky (west) and I should look outside my window. I called my sister in law who lives in the same town as I do and went to her house to pick her up, arriving at 8:33. We could see this bank of lights from her front porch, west, seemed to change (subtle) from white to yellow to orangish. It was moving very slowly and seemed to be traveling north. When I say "bank of lights" I mean horizontal and wide. Comparing the size to a planet in the sky, it was about 6-8 planets of size, but maybe not quite as bright. I can't say that I could necessarily count lights on it tho. Just a bank of lights. We got in my car and traveled toward New Glarus, watching it on the way. We could see it up until we got over a high hill on the way to New Glarus just outside of Belleville, when we started to get down into the valley, we lost it and did not see it again. This was the first incident that my sister in law and I have witnessed. Two more reports to follow this in which the sightings occurred the next night.

I reported an object for the previous date and for todays date, the object was quite different in appearance. The direction was again west to northwest. The shape was flat on the left side and to the right side it was like flames shooting out. We quit watching for a couple of minutes and went back to look at it and it looked the same except for it rotated and was flat on the right side with flames on the left side. This was all through binoculars. We took a ride into town to look at it from a different direction and it rotated again so that it was flat on the left side with what looked to be flames on the right side, but now there was a bright yellow round object out in front of the flames on the right side. It contained red, blue and yellow bright colors. By 20:30 it started to fade and finally went out of sight.

I was looking West to Northwest when I saw a very bright object in the shape of a star with red and blue lights which seemed to be floating side to side and up and down. The object seemed to stay in the same place. I called a neighbor and he said that he couldn't see it because of trees in his yard but his brother in law had seen the same type of object earlier (unknown if earlier was earlier that night or another day). My neighbor immediately asked if I had seen the different colored lights that I previously described. After speaking with my neighbor, the object seemed to either move further in the distance or had dropped and then faded out of sight. The object had 5 or 6 very long and sharp pointed arms. The red and blue lights were around the center.

blue spherical light traveling very fast

We were traveling facing east. We had an unobstructed view out the front windshield of the car--a wide horizon. We saw a single blue light travel from the far left to the far right raising in altitude. The light took about 30 seconds to travel that distance, about 2-3 times faster than a commercial jet would move, and then disappear to the far right. We estimate that it travelled at approximately 5-10,000 feet, where you usually see private aircraft fly at. There were no other tail or running lights, just a single spherical blue light.

Triangular craft descends into the water

I was traveling southbound on US81 just north of the intersection for CR-D and saw three very bright red lights falling from the sky and slammed on my brakes. The lights were headed directly at my vehicle at a rapid speed. The craft began to slow rapidly and hover. The craft rolled over to a different side and had a bright yellow light. The craft turned again and I was looking directly at the engines no more than 1000 feet away. The engine I guess ran the length of that side of the craft and was a bright green in color and had a pattern of reverse triangle cells. The craft lowered itself down into the water and disappeared. I jumped into my truck and drove south to the weigh station in Belleville , Kansas and reported that I saw something go into the water to the scale master. He made a few calls and said that there were no reports of missing airplanes. I was a truck driver at the time and logged close to 2 million miles accident free.

multi colored lights/in my bedroom/child

I was a young child, aged maybe 5/6 years old. I woke to bright colorful lights flashing outside my window, then in through my window and all across my room. I sat straight up in my bed clutching my stuffed bunny, terrified! I watched as my bedroom window slowly started to lift. Two beings stuck their heads inside my window. I was terrified. I opened my mouth to scream and ABSOLUTELY NO SOUND CAME OUT – AND I couldn’t move a muscle in my body. Immobile and screaming bloody murder (only in my head as no sounds were coming out) these creatures one by one crept into my bed room, surrounded me, removed the bunny from my arms and tossed it across the room. I suppose there was about 5 of them. Hindsight, they were very gentle and almost seemed to want to calm me. I completely blacked out, and when woke up it was morning and I was covered in sweat and tears. My bunny was across the room where he had tossed it!

Of course I was told it was just a dream, and for years I believed it. Now being an adult, and with the memories and images still so strong and vivid I know it so be real. I always question why I was chosen, if I have a job to do here on earth, and most importantly if they will ever visit me again.
