Hovered in one general area for almost an hour; quickly changed directions and made figure 8 patterns

The brightest light I have ever seen in the sky. This was a clear night, very minimal cloud coverage. I could see almost all the stars in the sky. It had almost like an omni directional white light coming from it but it wasn't quite white. I've never seen a white like this. Almost blue/white that seemed to move but it had a rainbow like luminescent glow coming from around it. I could make out blue, green and red. I put my binoculars on it and it looked like an orb. I couldn't make out anymore details. I watched it for almost an hour. It moved up and down, left to right, it made figure 8's, hovered in the same general area. I thought it might have been a drone, but even professional done batteries only last 30 minutes or so. We also live near an International Airport, and being a pilot myself, I know what planes look like and sound like. I've never seen anything like this. I watched other commercial and general aviation aircraft move around it almost the whole time.

Duration: Two to three minutes.
No of observers: 1

Location: Caledonia, WI, USA
Location details: Approximately 2 miles outside the city of Racine.

Shape: Oval
Characteristics: Lights on object

I witnessed what appeared to be an appearance of stationary oval disc, with a red glow underneath, at night on a main county highway.

At approximately 9:15 pm on Tuesday, September 27, 2022, I was traveling in my car eastbound on Highway K in Caledonia, WI located about two miles west of the city of Racine, WI. I was alone in the car but talking to my brother via phone. I was headed to my home in Racine when I noticed to my left what appeared to be an oval disc hovering above in the sky. It seemed to be stationary as I observed it, however on the underside of the disc appeared a bright red, almost pink glow. It made no sound from what I heard.To note, the area where I observed this just outside the city limits so there was not a lot of light in the area. I was surprised of how low the object was which ruled out the possibility of any plane and assisted in giving me a clearer look of the object. In the area, there are located multiple, well matured, large trees and, based on my estimation, the disc lingered just above the top of these trees during my initial sighting. Because the highway was one of three major arteries going into the city, I simply could not stop my care, get out, and look into the matter further at that moment. I told my brother over the phone what I was witnessing and, not surprisingly, he said little at the time. Due to my location, I was able to drive about what I would estimate to be a half city block and make a U-turn to head back west to get a clearer idea as to what I saw and, possibly, pull to the side of the road and take a picture. What I witnessed next made it seem like what I was witnessing was even more extraordinary. Upon my return, after making the U-turn, to the area where I initially saw this unidentified object, I recall catching the tail end glimpse of the object moving west away from me in approximately the same I first saw it. Within literally what I would describe in a snap second, the object appeared well west( maybe a mile if i had to guess still in the sky) from where I just witnessed it literally a moment before. I can't describe it any more precisely than what appeared to me to be some magic trick. The next second passed, and it appeared to move forward another estimated mile or so up in the sky until it appeared out of sight. Nothing happened to the vehicle I was in nor was there any time lapse involved. I will conclude by saying in my 54 year on this issue, I never held a passionate view one way or the other if UFO's or if other life in the universe exists. I grew up in a family that tended to downplay this issue based on what I believe to be religious reasons. As I've gotten older, I have gotten more open minded about it and now believe it would almost be impossible not to believe life exists beyond our planet. When asked about this incident, I'm only more than happy to state the facts of what I saw regardless of what it actually was.

i walked out on my deck to watch the skies like i do every night that time and I immediately noticed 3 very bright lights in a line

i have a video of the incident. there were 3 very bright lights in the night sky, way brighter than the stars, and they were lined up in a perfectly straight line.
they looked as if they were blinking or the lights were going in and out of view, not in harmony. they sat there until i went inside and it freaked me out for days now. I routinely go outside on my back deck and watch the skies at night waiting for sightings and this was outside above my house. i have it on video. i know my view of the sky very well and this was never there before which prompted me to start recording. to reassure myself that it was one giant craft or three individual craft, and not orions belt, I have been monitoring the exact position of the sighting every night at the same time and what i saw has not returned and cannot be found in my sky anywhere since the sighting. very strange. while looking in its direction my vision felt distorted like the image was wavy as well. blew my mind. my dog began acting very strange and barking and hiding under the deck table as well. hes a huge dog too. he was freightened.

South on I-94 Saturday , 08.27.16 at 8:45 pm irregular round shape initially and then unraveling before disappearing.

We noticed the lights hovering in the sky and truly did not know what they were. We were driving south on I-94 and we pulled off the side of the road to take pictures. The "string" of these lights started merging together and then went up higher in the sky to disappear.

The pictures I took with my cell phone, shows them initially as bright red, and one light yellow irregular round in shape. The final pictures before they disappeared looks as if they were unraveling.

First time in my life to have witnessed anything like this before.

White orb-like craft that sat in one spot mostly but would also move very slowly back + forth. Changed shape / color.





I was walking home and I noticed something sitting in one spot in the sky. I stopped and kept looking at it to see if it would reveal itself as a plane or if it might be something else. The thing just sat in the same spot. I have seen similar things before but not quite as close and bright as this one was though it was still a significant distance away. It would seem to move very slowly over the course of 30 minutes to an hour. It was a light that seemed almost to change shape. It would look almost like a cross or a star at times, but it was clearly in the atmosphere. By a star I mean it would look almost how one would draw a star on a piece of paper like the religious symbol. Though it seemed to shift quickly and though the main source of light was tinny I thought I saw a blue light for a brief moment as well and there was an orange-ish color on the outer edge of the bright light. I looked at it through a rifle scope and it definitely looked different sligh! tly magnified, but I still cannot put a finger on how I would accurately describe such a thing. It might still be sitting there now. I was playing the staring game with it for almost an hour and I lost and went inside. I would hate to speculate, but the only three scenarios I can come up with of what something like this that just sits in the sky and slowly moves back and forth would be are either secret government technology, ET technology, or maybe even some type of inter-dimensional entity or spacecraft. I took a video of it. On camera it did not seem to look exactly the same while I was filming it but you could clearly see that it was sitting in one place while the planes were whizzing back and forth.

Bright Orange/ Green blue/ Pulsating Orbs in the michigan sky/ southeast sky area

My friend and I have been seeing the same three things in the sky for more than two months now, at first thought to be a star but they move and are different in color, Orange pulsating Glowing almost circular Orbs, another is Green and blue with alittle orange, the third is Orange as well but not as bright. we decide to finally take a picture with my LG G2 phone because the zoom seems to be better than my regular digital camera. I zoomed in on the Big orange one and it appeared to be moving slowing arround in an irratic behavior so it was hard to keep it in sight, I braced my hands on the car window to keep the phone steady and began taking lots of pictures. in the camera the pictures just look completley round, but when i put them onto my computer i was amazed to see that some looked like a sunny side up Egg, or a donut with a Hexagon shape in the middle. whats strange is when i look at the picture of the orange one on my computer it shows up as whitish whith green in the middle. and when i look at the greenish blue one on the computer it shows up as Bright orange with a hexagon shape in the middle. these seem to only move a short distance at a time. There is one picture that looks not round at all but appears to be a bright long thing and appears to have a shape of the cross at the top and a Map of some sort behind and all around it.I can always seem to find the area in the sky to find them because they are bright with color. I tried to look at the orange one with high powered binnoculars and it kinda scared me because when i looked at it, it still looked orange and round but this time in the middle it looked like a single worm or some type of organism was moving around very fast like crazy at a rapid speed inside or in the middle of the orb.

I can't be sure if it's a UFo but i can't identify it and i'm not sure what it is. I have about 30 pictures.




NUFORC Note:

We commend the witness for having captured the photos, but they do not appear to us to be photos of authentic UFOs. They are blurry, point sources of light, and may be celestial bodies, possibly bright stars, we believe. All of the photos appear to us to be out of focus. PD

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

Triangular shaped UFO caught on camera in southwest sky Caledonia, NY.

This object was first brought to my attention by my brother who lives down the road from me.

Last week he stopped me on my way home and pointed it out to me. I took a shot of it with my cell phone. it was stationary so it was easy to shoot. I thought it may just be a star but it was too bright and too low. When I zoomed in on the picture I took it was triangular in shape!

He says that it has been appearing for the last month.

Last night on my way home from work around 7pm, I noticed it again. It was very bright and very still almost like a giant flood light in the sky. After awhile it started to move and then it was gone.

Now I know that its not a star {I originally thought it was the planet Venus because of where it was in the sky}.

Large triangle craft passed overhead, rotated, turned 90 degrees to the right, and vanished.

Driving East on NYS Rt. 5 in the town of Caledonia, New York, about a mile west of the Genesee river bridge at Avon, a triangle shaped craft, with lights all along the rear edge, passed over my car, heading in a northern direction, at about 500 ft above the ground. It was silent. I would estimate it was a little smaller than a 727 in size.

It flipped (rotated right-to-left) at least a full turn over, did a instant 90 degree right turn, then vanished. No aircraft that I know of can maneuver like that.

I served in the Navy, am an old sky diver, so I can tell height fairly well. This was something like I have never seen before, and it sent chills up my spine.

The security guard where I work, told me the next day that some others driving into work had seen the same thing.

Two objects were in close proximity flying very slow and travelled away very quickly.

Me and my girlfriend were approaching her driveway when I saw these two objects. They were hovering and moving very slowly to the east. It looked like a large airplanes headlights coming towards us but it was moving to the side so it was clearly not an airplane. They then began moving rapidly across the horizon staying perfectly spaced apart then slowed again to a creeping pace and went behind trees so I could not see them anymore.

As I drove a few miles away towards my own house I saw the objects again in the same orientation but much farther away, maybe even 100 miles because they were much smaller but clearly the same lights. I lost sight again over the horizon. I got to my house and went up the hill nearby so I could get a better view. By the time I gained sight of them they were twice as far as when I had seen them less than 5 minutes earlier. I observed them for around 10 more minutes and during that time they had split apart and were miles away from each other on the horizon. They were moving up and down slightly and they were also flashing red and white rapidly.

White glowing object flying in sky.

I was driving down the road and I decided to look up in the sky. The road I was on is a road that I drive on every single day.

As I looked up in the sky, I seen a white/glowing object. It was far up in the sky and it seemed to be fairly big. It was moving in all different directions and then disappeared.

I have never seen anything like this before and I called my family as soon as I seen it, I am positive it was not an airplane or anything of that matter.

UAP in Caledonia NY, summer of 1991

3 of us were sitting in a car in a corn field that my friends family owned. We drove up one of the rows the farm equipment would drive on so we wouldn’t get stuck. My friend parked the car on the crest of a hill where there was a beautiful view of the land and homes in the distance. It was dark outside, so we could see the stars in the sky. I remember there weren’t a lot of stars that night. I remember looking through the windshield as I was sitting in the middle of the back seat. I had a clear view of the sky in front of us. The windows of the car were all the way down as it was perfect temperature that night. You could hear the night time bugs and crickets. It was so quiet and peaceful out there. After being there for maybe ten minutes, I noticed a white light off in the distance. It was out in front of us and the light was slowly getting bigger. At first, because the light was moving, I thought it was an airplane. I lived a few miles away from the Greater! Rochester International Airport so I was quite familiar with seeing planes at night. One of the first things I noticed was that there were no blinking lights. No green, red, white, or otherwise colored blinking lights. From the distance, there were none to notice. My two friends in the front seats are now looking at this light, as well. We are all aware of it, and now, trying to figure out if it’s a plane or helicopter. As the light got bigger, there were still no blinking lights. It was not approaching at a speed that seemed like it WASN’T a plane or helicopter, so we still hadn’t dismissed it.

As the light got closer, yet, we noticed no sound. No motor sounds, jet sounds, hums... nothing. So now, we are looking at this bright white light coming towards us, slowly descending since we first noticed it. I’m going to guess the light got to be within a half a mile out in front of us in the sky. The rate of travel never increased or decreased as it was coming towards us. Just a slow, smooth, motion. Once it got to the distance of that rough half mile away, the light shut off. The craft came to a stop and hovered motionless for a minute. There was definitely something in the sky where the light came from but it was too dark to see the shape. It did not have a visible hard outline, but it was just darker than the night sky. Whatever it was, it was still there.

At the distance it’s at now, we still hear nothing. It’s now hovering motionless, with no lights. I have never seen anything flying with no sound, let alone hovering against the force of gravity. To my knowledge, in 1991 the world governments didn’t possess anything capable of doing what this is doing. The three of us are now whispering to one another. The mood got tense, as we could only ask each other, “what is that!?!?” We have all firmly agreed this is no airplane, or helicopter.

After floating motionless for a minute, a white light comes out from the bottom of the craft.

It points straight down to the ground. We could now see the light is on a road at the outer edge of the corn field. The light slowly moved down the road, as if it were looking for something. The craft wasn’t moving, only the light underneath it was. I remember looking out to the passenger side of the windshield to see the shape in the sky. The light had traveled down the road far enough to where I was looking out the driver side of the windshield when the light stopped moving. It had shined to an intersection in the road where there was a stop sign. The light stayed focused on the stop sign for about 10-15 seconds then shut off. After the light was off, the craft hovered silently for another minute. When we finally noticed movement, the craft was slowly turning as it floated. We noticed it was turning because as it was turning, two orange “orb” looking lights became visible. I can only describe them as what looked like two jet engines on the back of a military jet. The orbs ! were spaced apart what looked like maybe 10-20 feet? It was hard to judge exactly how far apart they were because of the darkness. We noticed one come to view, and as it’s slowly turning, then a second became visible. It’s now hovering with these two orange colored orbs we hadn’t seen as it was coming at us, originally. Still, no sounds. Hovering motionless in the same place for minutes.

After the slow 180 degree turn, as we are looking at the two orbs, the craft started to slowly move. It was moving up, and away from us, at the same time. Both vertical and horizontal movement, so somewhat diagonal. I was still looking out the passenger side of the windshield at it. It slowly went up to the right a short distance, then leaned, and slowly traveled left. Almost like it was in a wave pattern, traveling side to side, while it slowly went up. After doing the slow up to the right, then to the left, it went back to the right. At this point, something amazing happened. It went from this slow “wave pattern” of flight to a sudden straight line. The orange lights did not get any brighter as it went straight. They remained a constant bright orange glow. As it had made a wobble to the right and straightened out it’s path, it suddenly took off at a speed I’ve never seen anything move at. It looked like something from a Star Wars movie, when a ship like the millennium falc! on went into light speed. The craft sped off in a split second, up and out into space!! No sonic boom, and still no propulsion noises, whatsoever. It was really what gave all three of us the confidence to say this was not a man made, earth born, craft. It left us in awe. We questioned each other if we all just saw the same thing, to make sure we did. We all saw the same thing. It had all the signs of a UAP. To this day, I haven’t seen anything like it, and we have drones, silent craft, etc.

Nothing I’ve ever seen moving broke the laws of physics, until then.

Disc shaped with a slight hump at the top.

I have firmly believed in the reality of UFOs after having following experience: It was in 1960 or 1961 while traveling north of Charles Street, Racine, Wisconsin in my mother's car that I saw what looked like a disc slightly slanted so as to appear as though it had a slight hump on the top. I was looking out of the front windshield and saw a stationary orangish something in the sky in the direction of a quarry that was in front of us to the north. Suddenly it swooped down to the right and stopped. Moved a little further right. Then dashed up to the left and stopped. Then it zoomed up further to the left at lighting speed and disappeared from view. I will soon be 77 years old and remember this incident like it happened yesterday. I have professed my belief in the existence of UFOs/UAPs ever since. The only reason that I am making this report this late in life is on the chance that it might correlate with a similar report from around the same time.
