Duration: 1 minute
No of observers: 1

Location: Bolton, MA, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Black Triangle spotted above highway 495. Nearly identical to the Belgian UFO photo from the 90's.

Driving home from work at approximately 6:30 PM EST down highway 495 south in Bolton, MA, I saw some very bright white lights up over the highway ahead of me off to the left. I thought they were landing lights from a plane coming toward me. It was probably about 500' ft. up and moving very slow. From left to right it looked like a about four lights strung together in a row, but were wider than what looked like a typical smaller aircraft at a low altitude.

As I got closer, the object kept moving off to the left, and then it seemed like there were three very bright lights moving together in a tight formation. I tried to think if maybe they were helicopters or maybe military planes, but they were too low, slow and tight together. Then, the light furthest to the left disappeared. Thinking it may be moving behind a cloud, I waited for the other two lights to disappear too. Not so.

By now I had pulled up parallel to object which was to my left. The whole time I kept wai! ting to see the reveal of the flashing of the tell-tale FAA lights as I moved past the angle of the landing lights. Now having seen this object from more than one angle there were absolutely no flashing FAA lights whatsoever. I could now see that these three lights must have been something flying in formation. Then I saw a red light appear between the three white lights. Thinking this was now debunked I realized the red light in the middle wasn't flashing but slowly pulsing. Dimming and getting brighter. At this point I could see I was looking up underneath the craft. The three white lights were in the shape of a perfect triangle with the red light smack in the middle. I could make out from the backdrop in the sky that this was a solid, triangular craft. It was hard to see but definitive. The white lights on the corner of the triangle were rounded and not sharp. I could also see underneath the craft it had sort of dim metallic shine but it was faint. This object looked exactly like the photo of the Belgian wave black triangle seen in the 90's There were NO flashing FAA lights on this craft anywhere. I have been an amateur UFO enthusiast for years and have learned to debunk about 99.9% of most sightings. I am a skeptical believer and have maybe seen 2-3 interesting things in the sky before that I couldn't debunk but were unusual. This was a legit sighting of a UFO by definition. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Object over Lake George, NY observed by commercial aircraft

I am a commercial pilot on a VFR flight. My course line over Lake George, NY, took me from Sandy Bay to Northwest Bay. At my cruising altitude 2500 Ft MSL, I noticed what I first thought to be another aircraft heading towards me at same altitude off my 11:30 - 12 o'clock position. I first estimated its distance to be 5-6 miles away. As I continued I turned on all lights to become more visible.

After about the first minute of observation, the object appeared stationary with a gradual increase in its altitude. Its color and shape changed from looking like a distant white landing light initially, to slightly larger rectangle of reddish/yellow color flickering like a waving flag. The sighting coincided with the time of sunset that day, however I ruled out reflected sunlight due to the many layers of clouds creating relatively flat light.

As I approached the object, I had a growing concern that it may be a balloon of some type possibly on a cable or cable suspended below it. I changed course about 5-10 degrees east to avoid possible hazard.

After about the 6th or 7th minute of observation the object completely vanished! The rest of the flight was uneventful.

I have not witnessed an object like this in over 20 years of commercial flying; truly unidentified!

Duration: 30 seconds
No of observers: 2

Location: Bolton, CT, USA

Shape: Orb


Bright orange orb, looking like it flew in a straight line, turn 45 degrees and disappear.

We both went outside for a cigarette after dinner and observed what we thought may have been a satellite or possibly the space station, but noting that the color of the object was a more orange/reddish hue. It was small in the sky, but larger than any stars, thinking it may have been an aircraft, it went in a straight line for around 15 seconds, then seemed to completely change course and do a 45 degree turn then disappear.

Occurred: 2012-11-24 21:45 Local
Reported: 2012-11-25 09:28 Pacific
Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 4

Location: Bolton, CT, USA

Shape: Orb


One orb of light ascends quickly into sky while another descends behind tree line.

At about 945pm on 11/24/2012, four of us were driving through Bolton. While driving over the bridge that crosses over 384 on route 85/Bolton center road, we noticed a white, glowing penny sized orb to our left, which would have probably placed it nearly above the highway. This object hovered and made no noise that we know of. We noticed it only because it was in our line of sight, and seemed too big to be a star - though otherwise this is what it looked like.

After crossing the bridge, curiosity made two of us look back, at which point the orb seemed to shrink to nearly a pinpoint, which we realized meant that it had ascended upwards. No sooner had I (the driver and writer of this report) turned my head forward again to watch the road, a second object was observed by all of us directly ahead/in front of us, no more than a mile away. This object was also a glowing white orb, but basketball sized. It descended below the treeline pretty much on route 85 itself! We drove along route 85 to see if we could find it, but to no avail. I would be VERY interested if anyone knows of any military operations going on in this area on this date. If not, then I cannot explain what we saw. NOTE: Airplanes do frequently fly to bradley airport in the area we saw these orbs, and we saw such a one at this very time. The orbs were clearly different than the airplane.

Of the four observers, one is a licensed funeral director/embalmer with 2 degrees: one in applied science, and one in liberal arts. The other three are all high school graduates. One is a case manager at a homeless shelter. One is a teacher's aid working on a degree in education. The last is unemployed.

None of the four have vision problems or any sort of hallucination-causing mental illness, nor were any of the four on drugs.

I turned the car to fallow them but i lost them in the tree line. before persuit i tryed to contact the other car by radio that was onley a few hundred yards away and i could not establish radio contact untill the objects were gone.

The other car fallowed and we met at thefield. thats whair i toled him of the event. he confirmed the radio problems. the objects moved way to fast to be jets. it was un like anything that i have ever seen before.

2 Bright Lights in the Southwestern Sky before Dusk

Driving home from work proceeding on 117 East, I noticed 2 lights next to each other in the Southwest Sky just over the tree line. I first thought it was an aircraft, however the lights were remaining stationary.

I continued to observe the lights for about 10 seconds and then the light on the right side just shut off. About 2-3 seconds later the remaining light blinked off. This was before dusk, so I don't believe that this was a sighting of Venus.
