Location: Clayton, GA, USA
Location details: From Hickory Flat Ln off of Mt. Rainey road. Looking East flew South to North over Mt Rainey

Shape: Cylinder
Color: Gray metal
Estimated Size: Huge, far larger and longer than jet
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: East crossing South to North across Mt Rainey
Angle of Elevation: 60
Closest Distance: Never approached me
Estimated Speed: Faster than jet


Long Cylinder Moved faster than jet crossing entire horizon in one minute.

Was looking at thin clouds on way out door to pick up daughter from school. Sun was shining, not many clouds. Saw one ship moving from south to north across horizon disappearing over Mt Rainey. UFO Seemed to be not reflective, but instead gray metal. Mt. Rainey over 2000 ft this was much higher but blocked view of UFO once it passed over it. Huge, much larger than jet. Like a foot long but ends flat also much thicker, like a long summer sausage in air. It sounds stupid but looked similar to Dune movie of guild ship that folds space. It moved in straight line. It’s movement was odd because it was so steady, so straight, but moved so fast across horizon, and yet while watching it it felt slow, can not explain it.

We have seen multiple sightings, both myself and 13 year old daughter together here from our deck. They seem to like this area over Mt Rainey. But I have never seen this type of craft. My daughter and I moved here two years ago and began going out often at night to watch them. This is first day sighting in my life.

I am a retired professor, but I am mystical and I tend to live in strong energy places that often have phenomenon like green energy balls and ufo sightings and other people seeing them as well. But I am very grounded, and run multiple companies. My daughter is a straight A student. I do not drink often our do drugs ever. Last alcohol was I had a glass of wine three weeks prior to sighting. I am also an artist, author, and public speaker. I am pretty grounded. I am 65. Daughter is 13.

Since May sightings have become a regular event here. The ones we see here are not flying saucers, but instead huge craft, like huge multi deck battleships, not moving, but stationary. Sometimes you can see them clearly other times just a white blue outline. I have never reported UFO before but this was a day sighting of a huge cylinder object, Flat ends, metallic, no wings, no jet plume and no sound, but moving fast. I think it was the speed and lack of sound despite it being huge that made it seem so odd. Despite having seen many UFOs in my life this was unlike anything I have ever seen.

Multiple orbs floating in the sky moving around silently

Early morning, clear sky, good weather, crescent moon was visible too, I saw multiple white orbs, at least 8, they were all moving / floating in the sky, seemed to be able to speed up / slow down & change directions at a seconds notice. No flashing lights. The birds outside got quiet. My dog was acting weird. I felt weird. They were not planes or helicopters, they had no sound. Silent. They moved around in the sky weird, they seemed to be all going in the same direction but not following a straight line or moving straight. Some of them changed direction. I could not tell if some of them were two orbs flying very close together or just bigger orbs. They all looked like how the stars look so they must’ve been high up in the sky, but they were moving so weird and could go so fast, no trail left behind them. They could also disappear and reappear. I watched the sky for several minutes while this was going on, I didn’t see any more after 5:30 am on Friday morning May 3rd 2024. This was the most orbs I have seen at one time, usually it’s only one or two, maybe 3 max, this was a whole lot of them. The only other UAPs / UFOs I have seen was Diamond shaped. Blackish metallic weird looking Diamond shape craft with 4 blue corners several years ago ( could not tell if the corners were lights or reflective material of some kind, I saw this craft during the day time and it was much closer to me ) if I had to guess it was the size of a small car. ( but mentioning this because the Diamond was in the same location above my house and also clear weather for that sighting ) the Diamond looked like an actual physical craft, also made me feel weird and it made my iphone die, watch die, and electricity go out and wifi / internet go out. The Diamond sighting was back when I was in 8th grade, but same address, several years ago. The Diamond could also move silently, go in any direction, hold completely still in the air, and then also disappeared. The orbs were today this morning. I have seen orbs when camping before and also just during the night or early morning sometimes. When I leave for work in the early morning I do a sky check. Usually i get a weird feeling and then look up and they are in the sky moving around. I witnessed this with my own eyes, I took photo and video of orbs moving with my iPhone 8.

While driving on 2 going I noticed a black line in the sky that I thought might be an eagle. No wings, head, tail. Black cigar shape

I was driving on Hwy. 2 moving SE toward Clayton, OK. At first I was noticing contrails in the sky. I saw a black dot way up in the sky thinking it might be a hawk or an eagle. I continued to watch as it got closer to me and realized that it might be a government drone. It had no wings was black and cigar shaped. It was at least 1000 ft in the air and moving from the SE to the NW. I have never seen anything like this. I know what drones look like but this did not have an apparent propulsion system. I do not know what I saw, I did not stop my car to watch as it went above my car. I was not looking for any strange flying object. I cannot unsee what I saw and it puzzles me. I would like to have an explanation of what I saw in the daytime over rural Oklahoma.

It was flying low and moving fast without a sound

It was close to 5:00a.m. and I went to the store just about 5 miles from where I live south on US70, I got to the store at 5:00a.m., I got what I needed then I walked back to my car got in and started to drive, I was going North to get back home on US70 the time was now 5:15a.m. and something told me to glance over my left shoulder, I looked and thêre it was l, a bright light flying fast and flying low, my first thought was this is flying too low to be a plane but I said nevermind and kept driving, I finally get to a point where I could turn left off of US70 so I did, soon as I turned the light turned to the left with me. I told myself ok I didn't just see that I must be tired and seeing things so I kept driving, on my left hand side is Clayton high school but now the light is on my right hand side and seems to be getting loét, I make it to a stop sign on main street and I make a right turn, the light turns to the right with me, At this point I'm starting to think I'm going crazy cause I know nothing of this world can do that so I tell myself jokingly I'm going to stop and if this light stops I'm getting out of hêre so I stop, The light went about 2 or 3 feet then stopped in mid Air, once I saw that I freaked out, it didn't move until I made a U-turn and started following me again, I made my way back to US70 going south and it followed me all the way back to the store I originally went to, I parked and got out and thêre it was hovering above the store but now it was higher up in the air, it was making slow movements inch by inch in all directions, People that came in and out of store I pointed it out to thêm and they all said they didn't know what it was especially cause they even pointed out the stars that were in the sky and we all agreed what we were looking at definitely wasn't a star, I took out my phone and started to film then I got back in my car and stayed in my car until 6:30a.m. The light was still above the store, I told mýelf I'm going to drive to another store 5 miles from this one going North, I started driving and the light took off following me again slightly ahead of me until I reach the store, I got out to film it but thí time it wasn't showing on my screen, I could see it with my eyes but it wasn't showing on my screen, it's 7:00am I get back on the car and start to drive home. The light followed me until I almost got home then it vanished, My video is short but the few people I sent it to that are like me and done believe in this kind of stuff all said they can't explain what they are looking at

Duration: 7 minutes
No of observers: 0 - Pilot

Location: Clayton, NC, USA
Location details: Large, open field. Distant tree line approximately 250 meters north of where I stood.

Shape: Oval


White motionless dot in a clear blue sky which disappeared and reappear two times in different locations in a linear path.

I was walking my dog at approximately 11:00 am on September 2, 2023. It was a beautiful clear day. There may have been a few wispy low level clouds that I noticed earlier during the walk but at the time of my encounter there were no visible clouds. I reached Latitude 35.655348 Longitude -78.350902 and was climbing a small hill north of a small pond next to Triangle YMCA when I looked NNE and saw a hawk in a dive approximately 30 degrees off the horizon. Behind the hawk, I saw a small, oval, white “orb” for lack of a better description. It was slightly larger than a sesame seed held at arms length. I wouldn’t have paid any attention to it, but the movement of the hawk caught my eye. Otherwise, I most likely would have missed this. In fact, initially I thought it was a white bird, perhaps fighting with the hawk. I lost visual sight of the hawk because it blended in with the tree line, but the white orb sat motionless in the sky. I used to be an aviator with the US Air Force and I am used to spotting objects in the sky and familiar with their movement patterns in order to de-conflict traffic. This object was behaving abnormally due to its lack of motion in the sky but honestly, I didn’t think much of it. I continued to walk with my dog off the leash heading north, and the object became obscured behind a tree that was close by me hindering my view. It took me 10 to 15 seconds to pass by the tree and obtain another unobscured view of the sky as a crested the small hill. Curiously I looked up for the object and saw that it was gone. I thought that was a little strange and I proceeded to scan approximately 30° off the horizon from west to east several times looking for movement. I could see nothing, not even small aircraft which frequent the area. I took my eyes off the sky for a few seconds for whatever reason (maybe glancing at my dog or looking down to secure footing), and then looked back towards the area and was surprised to see the object had returned. I stopped walking and decided to observe the characteristics of this object. Again, it was motionless and about a outstretched hand’s width further to the east. I noticed that the object seemed to increase and decrease in size every few seconds, making it clearly visible one moment and then harder to see the next moment. At this point, the object really had my attention solely for the fact that this was unique. I immediately began trying to determine what I was seeing.

My first assumption is that this was an aircraft on the horizon, making turns which allowed it to reflect the sun at variable brightness based on its profile in various positions, making it more visible and less visible as it maneuvered. The problem with this assumption is that it appeared motionless in the sky for several minutes. I considered that perhaps it was moving away but that wouldn’t it explain why it appeared to be decreasing and then increasing in size from my vantage point. I considered that this might be a balloon but how could it be motionless when visible, disappear and reappear few miles from its original position and becoming motionless again? It is not my intention to speculate on this craft, but I think it’s important to let you know my mindset as I was observing this. Had it acted like any aircraft I had seen in the past while flying, I wouldn’t have paid any attention beyond a curious glance. It was the uniqueness, and it’s characteristics of flight that caught my attention. It made no sense to me.

As I stood and watched the object, I speculated on what it could be, then I realized that my dog was off leash and wandering the field alone behind me. I turned my head to call him back to my side and as I turned back to continue observing the object, it was gone. I began meticulously scanning of the horizon for movement and remember laughing out loud at how odd this situation had become. I didn’t observe any motion in the sky. A lot of times, when an aircraft adjusts its attitude and position, it will no longer reflect the sunlight and become less visible, but your eyes can still catch movement of the craft. There was absolutely nothing observable in the sky after it disappeared. I hooked my dog to my leash and settled in to observe the sky for the next several minutes. I would estimate 2 to 3 minutes passed when the object came into view a third time and was another one to two hand widths across the horizon towards the east. It slowly faded into view and behaved just as it had before. It appeared motionless but this time remained a constant size and brightness. At this point, I determined I wasn’t going to take my eyes off it except to blink. I patiently observed this object sit motionless, 30° off the horizon for about 90 seconds and then fade out of view over 3-5 seconds as if turning down a light source using a dimming switch. I must’ve stayed in that field for another 10 minutes, scanning the horizon and looking for any movement, but saw nothing. So I resumed my walk back to my house about 15 minutes away.

The only reason why I am reporting what I saw is that I have lots of experience as an aviator and this object behaved like nothing I had ever witnessed. Had it only popped into view once and disappeared, I would’ve dismiss this as an aircraft. But to watch it sit motionlessly, disappear, move unobserved across the horizon, then reappear only to sit motionless again was very strange. I have run through this scenario several times and every logical explanation simply returns with questions on the strange flight characteristics of this object. It most likely was an aircraft, but I just can’t explain how it behaved. There are plenty of little airfields locally and Seymour Johnson Air Force Base is about hour’s drive from this area. I consider that this may be a fighter jet maneuvering on the horizon but we hear those jets all the time. This object was absolutely silent.

Another strange thing was that I had no desire to pull out my phone and record this. It’s strange to me because recording seemed to not even be an option. It was like I didn’t even remember I had a phone on me. Maybe I was task saturated with observing this object and fleshing out what it could be?

Ufo/lights flying in weird formation. One of the ufo's the front and rear light seemed to be a mile apart yet with precise movement. The craft was barely visible in between the lights.

The second set of lights had alot more movement east. This group had more lights but these lights had different sets within the group. The sets were moving in sequence but was all doing something different.

Star-like bright white light from 04/01/2020-Present, moving erratically but localized, NW and E sky, morphing color/shape zoomed in

On 7/11/2020 and 7/12/2020, my husband and I went to Persimmon Road to watch and investigate a bright white light that has been seen in 3 different positions multiple nights weekly since April 1, 2020.

The first sighting on April 1 was out my bedroom window as I was lying in bed, in the northwest sky appearing over national forest land. It was by far the brightest light in the sky and at first appeared to be a bright star such as Venus. But after an hour in bed watching it, close persistent observation showed it to be moving with abrupt changes in direction, circular motions and other erratic movements . It ‘sparkled’ and seemed to fade in intensity at times. It would disappear, then reappear nearby. I took a video holding my phone very still and as zoomed in as it would let me. Outside, there were no plane or helicopter noises, only silence. I called the nonemergent local Clayton police line to ask whether they had other sightings of a drone or light in the sky that night. They told me no, but to let me know whether a drone came close to our private property and they would intervene at that point. I was unsure as to why someone would fly a drone in one spot (relatively one spot) for over 2 hours at night, unless they were searching for moonshine stills or something. I made my husband come look and confirm that it was in fact moving and that it was not Venus. I did not look closer at my video but posted it to Facebook and asked if anyone else had seen it.

After the 3rd or 4th sighting within 1 week, I was watching the barely moving light carefully and the surrounding less bright stars. Then, about 5 other ‘stars’ started moving- not nearly as bright or as big as the original- all with separate flight patterns, all with abrupt erratic movements. They clustered in the sky next to the original and did not stray too far from it, still in the northwest sky. I got so afraid I had tears in my eyes and slept in my daughter’s bed with her that night. I would not look out my window intentionally for about two or three weeks after that. I didn’t want to know at that point. My curiosity won out after a while, and I went back to observing, this time casually, before falling asleep each night. I saw a Facebook post in April from a reporter for an ATL news station that showed a string of lights near ATL that was later attributed to the satellite train. I wanted to believe this because it was easier that way. But my light(s) and my experienc! e observing them did not appear consistent with the satellite train, not to mention I looked up the satellites’ positioning and course near us- they weren’t nearby. I asked a friend of mine who’s father is a pilot locally if he knew of any lights; he advised downloading the FlightAware app and checking the area for any registered planes, drones, other craft when I saw it next. I did see many planes with their normal blinking lights in the sky above us reflected clearly on the app; I did not see any nearly stationary crafts within our NE part of the state, nor in NC or in the adjoining towns.

In May and June, the light was present less often and always alone that I could see, but it had changed position drastically- it was in the western sky, very low , so low it appeared to be in the tree line in the woods right beside our house, shining even brighter than before (maybe closer?), still moving so that at times the trees would block it intermittently. If I looked while lying in my bed, it was shining directly into my eyes but would occasionally dip down (into the National Forest?) and disappear for minutes to half an hour before popping back up again. My dog barks often at the woods behind our house due to coyote, bears, possum, etc. He seemed to bark nearly constantly on the nights the light showed up behind the house. Always between 9:30 to 10:00 pm sometimes until 1 AM (still there if I woke up at that time) and always silent. We went on vacation for about a week for July 4th, and while we were with family, I got out my phone to show my mom my video from ! the first night. This time, I paused the video and took still frame screen shots of my moving bright white spot- and I figured out that I could zoom in further than before. And the zoomed in pictures really amazed me (coupled with disbelief that I had not thought to do this before). Frame by frame, split second by split second, the size, shape and color of the light changed, which was what was causing the sparkling and flickering effect from an unfocused distance. I couldn’t believe it. I’ve never seen anything like it, especially the drastic nature of the changes and the range of colors. I got excited (I’m in the medical field, science is exciting anyway for me) and told my husband as soon as we got back, we were going to actually go looking for the source of the light through the trees and track whether it was close or far, and try to get another video and pictures this time. He was not as excited as I was but agreed to drive once I saw it through the trees. But every nig! ht the next week, it was cloudy and/or I didn’t see the light ! in eithe r of its usual position(s). I thought I had missed my chance. My husband stated that the most wide open area of sky near our part of the county was out near the Persimmon Road Fire Station clearing and that we could go there to just see if it was in the sky at all.

We went on 7/11, 2 days ago once it got dark. And low and behold, there it was just over the treeline in the EAST part of the sky, bright white as ever but still appearing like a star to the common observer. I took video with my iPhone, my husband took video with his android phone. No other star or cell tower blinking showed up on my video, only this light. And to my surprise, zoomed in, I saw the light pulsating, sending rings of light-concentric circles- out from the center while enlarging intermittently, then shrinking back down to normal. Like in a cartoon depiction of a boombox speaker blaring with each beat. We got in the car to attempt to track it or localize it in reference to the town of Clayton. We didn’t get much closer but my husband felt that it was pretty low in the sky still. At around midnight, we had a local cop stop and ask if we were ok, since we ended up on a road near the prison. And we decided to go home. I looked at both videos on the way home. “! Calm down”, my husband said. “You have to see this, zoomed in!” I said. I started taking still-frame screen shots of the video and zooming in during the video, and the colors, shapes and rate of changing from one configuration to another were startingly beautiful. I took about 30 still frames of a variety of appearances, enlarged them, and posted the video and still shots to facebook because this was INCREDIBLE. I contacted an old friend from the Air Force who had told me he flew over Clayton regularly when he was on duty, to see if he had seen anything or could suggest an etiology. He denied seeing anything and had no idea what it could be.

Why hadn’t we brought out our monocular? I couldn’t find our binoculars, of course. That meant that last night, on 7/12/2020, we had to go watch again, this time before dusk so I could approximate the time it appeared in the sky and perhaps get a picture of it in the daylight of dusk. Nothing until around 9:30 or 35 pm, despite other stars being visible first, including the big dipper in the opposite direction behind us. Then suddenly, the light appeared in a position lower to the tree line than the night prior. It wasn’t there, then it was. The monocular didn’t help much especially since you have to hold it very still in order to see something else moving, and didn’t focus as well as I’d hoped and it gives you a headache after a time. But the light seemed closer tonight and my husband’s video did not disappoint. The video and pictures were the best yet. I will continue to watch and record this light for as long as it shows up, and I’m trying to find someone with a t! elescope.

Examples of the morphology once zoomed in: 1. Perfectly round, white and densely uniform in color 2. Round white outer ring with dark or sometimes bright green inner ring. Bright or deep red hue around the periphery, often 3. Overlapping spheres with sharp contrasted border between them 4. Square multicolor center with less defined outer hue border 5. Square within a square within a square, right angles seen fairly clearly 6. Round flat dark yellow brown shape with a central bright yellow ‘raindrop’ center 7. White ‘apostrophe’ outline with darker center and purple hue periphery 8. Yellow, orange and green areas on a white irregular circle 9. White and grey circle with borders showing ‘tri-division’: half circle and two unequal divisions of the other half 10. Shadowy amorphous nondefined darkly faded circle 11. Bright white sphere with a black ‘slot’ horizontally through the center, not extending to the edges 12. ‘Sand dollar’ notched edge circle with central white protrusion 13. Green center with white periphery and red halo, with 3 horizontal black lines and one vertical brown line through the green center 14. ‘lumpy’ textured green and white circle 15. Similar to a pokemon ball: pink top half, reddish bottom half with clear lined division between them;white boxed protrusion coming up from bottom 16. Yellow and purple nebula like haze with a clearly defined white bullet shape in the center There are so many more given there are at least 4 shape changes for every 1 second of video.

I invite your people to come to Clayton and investigate this, since it seems to be a long term type anomaly. My only worry is that I get too close for comfort to sleep at night, or it (if of intelligent design) figures out it’s being watched and leaves for good.

Thank you for your time.

Unusually long dark shape, moving very slow, no lights, no sound, at tree level.

December 4, 2018 about 5:30 pm at dusk. Sky was orange colors from sun set. Clouds were dark. Very pretty sunset. In my car, waiting at traffic light at highway 42 west, to turn left onto Government Road in Clayton, NC. While waiting to turn, I was looking West. Something moving caught my attention. At the tree level, which I estimate to be around Cornwallis Road, which is West of Government Road about 1 mile away. Something was flying low above tree level. Very long, (comparing size with distance) slender shape. No lights could be seen on shape. Dark like the clouds; black silhouette. Could not see wings or tail of an airplane. No sound was heard. Object was moving very slowly from south to north. I had to move with traffic, so, I made my turn. It was very unusual. We see military large cargo planes all the time around here. They fly low, but, this was even lower.

Orange ball of light moved slowly and then sped up without sound.

I was working at my grocery store tonight and I was collecting carts outside. I look up into the sky and see what I thought was a very bright star. It is a bright orange and a little bigger than common stars you will see. I then notice it moving slowly, there were no flashing lights and no noise coming from it, so it could not be an aircraft. There was no light streaking off of it and the speed was very slow, could not be a comet. It began to move faster and went over store and off into the distance before I could get any photographs or video.

The craft was about the size of a small plane, but it had no wings or rigid shape. The craft was dark in color with two large round infrared looking light in front of it (like the headlights on a car) The craft passed very slowly over us around 200 feet in the air, and it made a slight humming sound. When the craft passed over us there were no lights whatsoever to be seen under, around, or behind it. There were just the the two round light in front. The craft had no tail.

Solid Ball light, decends then goes dark as leveling out heading due north.

On September 10th, 2016, at 9:38pm PST.

Facing exactly north, I was peering upwards at about a 50°, just at my field of view, vertically up in the sky a slow moving luminous ball of light three times the visual mass of any speck in the sky began descending down words at a rate that I, thought too slow to be a satellite and much too vivid as well to be far away.

If you were to hold out your hand in front of you and extend your index finger and your thumb, then just half a pinkys worth, you would get the distance the object move from my perspective in the sky in the time frame of 10 seconds during the last five seconds of that 10 seconds is when I was hurriedly reaching for my camera phone which was right next to me to then attempt to capture to no avail, for it was too dark.

When I finally did bring the camera to face in front of me to attempt to video this the luminosity on this ball object began to dim and it wasn't flickering it wasn't shorting it was manually being controlled it seemed and this craft in question while maintaining the slow rate of speed began to level out. While it was dimming which took another five seconds, you could just make out some shape at least and the craft moved along dimmed and was gone.

Essentially it seemed as if there was a telepathic connection with my knowing and witnessing the object and said object concealing itself.

I apologize for the late response.

Two bright red circular objects. Hovered brightly in one spot and then vanished.

Approx 10:00pm in Concord, CA, my daughter and I were arriving home and facing north, when I noticed two circle objects that were a reddish orange. They were different enough that I stopped the car and pointed them out to my daughter as possibly planets. She loves hearing about the stuff that goes on up there and at 5 loves the telescope. There were two when I first saw them and initially thought they were planets. With so many planets in sight soon, it was my initial thought because they weren't stars, shooting stars or airplanes. Clearly.

Then as I looked closer, I noticed they were the same exact shape and looked to be the same distance from myself, so being planets seemed impossible and the size was a little too large for a planet. One was a bit higher than the other one but directly on top of it. It was an odd site at first. They were bigger than an airplane and it never blinked green or any other color. They both looked to burning brightly the more I looked at them, and luckily, there were planes in the sky that were somewhat nearby and those gave a quick way to compare and notice the obvious difference between the two.

I then quickly parked my truck and took my daughter to walk back to where we could see them. When we got back over there, it was maybe 1-2 minutes later, the highest one was gone and the lower one looked to be a little closer but pretty similar to its last position. When looking at it, I felt like it was moving although its position in the sky wasn't really changing much. It's hard to explain.

As I watched for another couple minutes, telling my daughter to watch it and pay attention, it didn't seem to brighten or dull much other than the thin, low flying clouds coming in between us at times, but never lost visiblility of it. It sat there as bright as it had been and then quickly vanished. I couldn't explain it and thought, maybe clouds, but quickly saw another airplane fly in the same direction and it affirmed to me that it wasn't clouds and the quickness in which it disappeared affirmed to me that it wasn't the clouds that made it disappear from site. It wasn't an obstructed view, it disappeared from the sky. Like it just turned off.

Although it wasn't doing much, it didn't seem like anything I'd ever seen. The bright glow compared to an airplane and the way it moved or even the way it didn't move was just odd and I'm a sky watcher so this is coming from someone who watches a lot and this was the first time I believed I'd seen something out of my realm of understanding.

Bright white object in western sky just after sunset.

I exited the Dairy Queen on S. 1st St. just after sunset, and looking across the street (approximately W or WSW, based on google maps) noticed a bright white object approximately 30-45 degrees above the horizon. It was bright enough to be uncomfortable to look at for an extended period of time, and not noticeably moving.

I asked a man sitting in his car if he knew what it was. He got out and looked and was also perplexed. He went in and asked an employee to come look. She also didn't know what it was.

It was still visible when I left approximately 10 minutes later.

I have not personally seen a weather balloon, but would not be surprised to find out that it was a weather balloon reflecting the light of the setting sun, based on the direction, timing, and apparent lack of movement.

Flashing stationary white, blue, and red light in western sky

Stepped outside a few minutes before midnight and noticed a bright flashing light low in the western sky. White, blue, and red were the main colors I noticed, and it was obviously stationary. It was brighter than an airplane and I could've almost convinced myself it was a planet flickering from atmospheric interference had it not disappeared at 12:06 AM.

I had glanced away for a moment and when I looked back it was gone. Date: Aug 27/28

Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted other objects, Aircraft nearby

Triangle formation, many orbs appearing, moving, stopping then taking off or disappearing.

We saw a lot of strange activity in Clayton, NC, USA during the meteor shower last night/this morning.

We first saw 3 "stars" moving in formation across the sky from north to south, stopped and started to rotate and change the shape of the triangle. We had already noted what we thought were satellites that you would normally see, but after an hour we realized we had seen over 100 "satellites" and most were moving in unison with at least one more off in the distance and converging somewhere beyond the horizon.

Other "stars" or "satellites" would appear, begin to move, stop and disappear from vision. Others would line up within the triangle we first saw and then either disappear or begin to move out of the formation.

We also noticed what we first thought was a bright star over the horizon, but after it not moving for 3 hours we watched it closer and it, too, was dancing around in a somewhat static location.

The craziest thing I have ever witnessed.

I think we watched all this from 2:45am EST to 5:30am (EDT).

We noticed what seemed to be military aircraft occasionally flying directly below the triangle formation on 3 occasions.


We also noticed what may have been the ISS pass directly below it around 3:30 a.m. EDT. although I have not checked to see where it was at that time.

Saw two white light 'sticks' with blue and red lights at night moving in a horizontal plane across sky with no sound being made.

3/26/2014 Over Garner/Clayton NC at around 10pm.

I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water while I waited for the washer to finish the load of whites it was washing. I looked out the window and saw what I thought was a bright star.

Then it flashed bright and I thought, 'that was weird' and kept looking at it. It was long like a white stick with a blue and red light in the middle area. About every 5 secs it would flash brighter or flicker on & off, I couldn't tell.

Anyway, I figured it was eye fatigue and was either a plane or a star but then I noticed it was moving ever so slightly on a horizontal line to the right (North). I kept watching it because I figured I was tired and would figure out that it wasn't moving at all but it did and kept moving.

So I decided to step outside and have a look. First thing I noticed is how quite it was... dead silent. There's usually the sound of traffic on Hwy 70 at the minimum or a dog barking but nope... nothing.

Then I noticed a second 'star' with the exact same qualities as the first and verified the other one was still where I had last seen it so... there were actually two ! of them. Both were silent, high up, looked identical and were moving very, very slowly in a horizontal motion heading North.

I watched them for about 10 mins and then went back inside cold and alittle bit freaked out.

Not sure what they were but they definitely were not helicopters or planes as there was no sound and they were moving way too slowly.

I'm a 53 yrs old Computer Scientist who works at NC State in the IT division.

I was such in panic I decided to speed off with out the thought of snapping a picture.

Bright white fast-flying UFO

I was taking final photos of a 60m meteorological measurement tower that we had just installed northwest of Clayton, NM, and noticed this object flying overhead at a good altitude in a northwesterly direction and as fast as a normal passenger jet.

I could hear a sound like an airplane and assumed that the object I was seeing was just a jet, but then noticed that it really didn't look like a normal jet and left no contrail. By the time I decided to get it on camera it was far away but I zoomed in to take a couple of pics.

It could be some kind of experimental aircraft or zeppelin, I don't know, I never could see a clear shape to it.

I will send the photos by email, they were taken with a GPS camera so you can see in the properties the exact coordinates where the photo was taken. The time in my camera is wrong.

Earlier in the same day I had noticed a very odd small bright white saucer-shaped cloud hovering to the west that didn't match anything else in the sky and had pointed it out to my co-workers, joking that it was a cloaked UFO, but not sure if there is any connection or not. I don't think any of them noticed the one that I snapped pics of, as they were already in trucks leaving the site. I will ask them when I get a chance.

July 17th 2013 2152pm- Kiamichi Mountains- Hwy 271 South-glowing fire balls/UFO craft

July 17th Wed. 2013 2152pm–passed Clayton, Oklahoma

Driving down Hwy 271 South near Kiamichi Mountains towards city of Antlers. We pulled over and stopped. My husband & I noticed in the sky what looked like fire works- there were 6 circular shaped red/orange flares in the sky going one at a time from right to left, backwards to forwards. Then went back in straight line from left to right, and the glow disappeared but we could see the shape of the “UFO” craft.

The craft was a very large and shaped very differently. It had blue gleaming lights –almost translucent in color but you could still see its definition in the sky. It hovered over the sky. It moved or floated in different patterns/Up & down and sideways.

In no way was this any aircraft that we have ever seen. Seven minutes later, 2159pm, it started lighting up again, one @ a time.

Then the colors/glowing fire balls disappeared I got some photos of it on my digital camera.

Exactly 2 minutes after that we heard a loud jet engine sound going over us in the same direction of the unexplained craft in the sky. I got pictures of the “white” jet.

Not sure if it was part of Military or not.

I have a picture of the “ UFO Craft “ can’t wait to post these photos..

At roughly 1700 hours my brother and best friend were leaving the house and noticed a cluster of lights in the sky behind the house.

It was circular or oval in shape with a ring of small green lights outlining its shape with a central red light.

The lights did not blink or strobe and remained constant through the duration of the sighting.

The object continued to move in a northwest direction slowly until it crossed over the other side of the mountain and out of sight.

The object did emit a very low frequency hum.

Flashing red and blue lights with white lights in center of cylinder object

My daughter and I were riding in my car on Hwy 70, about to exit on Ranch Road when we saw blue and red flashing lights in sky, really low. The blue light was on the left side and the red light was on the right side. We were the only car on the highway, and I stopped to see what it was.

The object flew right over my car, and we could see white lights in the center of the object. It was very close to my car and moving very slow, and I actually thought it was going to hit my car, because it was so low. It made a really strange loud sound and went over my car.

My daughter turned to see it behind us in the sky and then it disappeared.

It wasn't very big, maybe two or three times the size of my car, or that is how it appeared in the dark.

Flashing red,blue and white lights.

I took my dogs out at 1:30am on July 18th, 2011. The sky was clear and I could see stars better than I have before. I was looking at the sky and thanking God for giving us a beautiful night when I saw something in the Southwestern sky that was unusual. I initially thought it was a star but because it flashed red on one side and blue on the other with white in the background at equal intervals, I decided it wasn’t a star. It stayed in the same position for 15 minutes, was over a tree, and didn’t change course.

I came in the house, got my binoculars, and went outside and tried to make sense of the flashing pattern. It didn’t "feel" right. The red and blue lights I saw were vertical strobe lights with white lights in the background. It looked like an intergalactic police car. I got my 11 year old son outside and he saw the same thing. It wasn’t an airplane, radio tower, helicopter, nothing of this world, it didn’t move.

We watched it for 20 minutes and I ran in the house to get my telescope. I had to unpack it (that took 10 minutes) and by the time I got it outside, clouds had covered the lights.

One half hour later, the clouds moved out and the sky was clear again. I checked the position of the moon which had moved very little and the "planet/star/lights" should have still been visible but were GONE! I looked all over the night sky and didn’t find the same lights again.

I will check tonight, again!

soft pale peach light ascended slowly controlled from 68 degrees near ursa major and SHOT OFF vanished out of sight like shooting star!

Something compelling like a "gravity" pull kinda how the feeling in my legs is I get when a storm comes in... Something told me to go outside for about an hour now... so when I laid the baby down to sleep mommy stayed with and I went to take the trash out... I was just simply taking the trash out threw it away turned around and looked up a beautiful clear night sky tonight. I was refreshed being outside as I stared into the still sky when suddenly what first seemed like a star began to travel vertical slooooow in the sky around 68 degrees up horizon toward ursa major (I know a lil bout constellations) ...! it was a soft peach light. it ascended for what seemed about 4 seconds and 18 degrees in my line of sight. surged possible a lil brighter just before it swwwwosh ! took off in a second! like a shooting star right to left!!!!!!! it had to be 25 degrees lateral in my sky view... the distance it "tailed"/ streaked was akin to a shooting star and I would had dismissed it like a meteor show except for that I witnessed before that portion of the experience... the vertical slow "controlled" ascension then to veer like it did is unexplainable to me growing up an GE hornet aircraft engineer's son. I still have goose bumps ! Im wired I cant sleep now... I had to report!

Shortly after midnight flying slowly near the top of Mt.

Object traveling at a very high rate of speed, stopped, made right angle turn and continued on in night sky for a duration of 10-15 sec

Being a commercial/instrument rated pilot and having a love of aircraft, I enjoy going outside at night sometimes and looking above at all the aircraft, or at least their lights, transverse the star filled sky.

My wife, two small children, and I live in the north Georgia Mountains in an airpark community that sits approximately 3000 feet in elevation. Being far away from any major city, there are no nearby lights to brighten the sky, so I can usually see numerous aircraft pass above, mainly jets. On this particular night, we had been sitting outside approximately 30 minutes, when we saw a light passing from south to north at a speed that I estimate 20 to 25 times faster than the airliners flying overhead. I said to my wife and children that obviously this was a satellite because there were no jets that I knew of that could fly at this rate of speed. Also, we heard no sound and didn’t see any navigation lights. Anyway, as I was telling my family what I thought this light was, it came to a complete stop right above our heads for a split second, then made a right angle turn to the east at a speed as great or greater than we observed before it stopped. Then we observed the unidentified object disappear into the eastern sky.

The object we saw was a white light, not particularly bright or large. However, the rate of speed this object was traveling is what caught my attention initially.

I was a Georgia state trooper for over twenty years, and my last seven years on the patrol, I flew helicopters and airplanes. I retired because of a physical disability with full benefits. My wife is a mortgage bank officer and my children are 9 and 12 yrs old.

The date I am giving is an approximate date because at the time I had decided not to report this to your agency.

Steady bright white ball of light moving above tree line and then disappears in cloudless sky

My wife and I were on our front porch at around 11 pm on Friday, August 24th. I was laying down on the porch relaxing and she was sitting on the steps. She suddenly says, “Oh My God!” I sat up asking what she had seen. She stated that she had never seen anything like what she had just witnessed. I asked her what she saw and she stated she witnessed a steady glowing ball of light moving away from the tree line across from our property and it suddenly disappeared. I asked her if it was a plane and she said she had never witnessed a plane disappear like that in a cloudless sky and that most planes have blinking lights. The night was very clear with visible stars. To my dismay, I did not witness it and am only reporting what she saw. Background on my wife is that she is an intelligent individual with no claims of witnessing a UFO before, but believes they are a possibility. She is not claiming this was an Alien craft, but she was dumbfounded as to what it could have been. Thank you!

12-28-06 Blue white ball of light over rural area in southern Mi lasting seconds.

My husband and I were driving home in a south to north direction in a rural area near our house.The weather was clear. We both saw a blue white ball of light fall in a east to west direction in a slight arch. With arm outstretched it appeared the size of a thumbnail.We could not see where it may have gone. We spend a lot of time watching the skys as we live far enough from the city of Adrian to not be bothered by city lights.I have taken investigation training from Mi Mufon in the last few years but am nolonger a current member.

Duration: 5-7 Minutes

Location: Clayton, NY, USA

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Lights on object

Two red lights traveling in formation for over 5 miles, no noise.

We saw what appeared to be two red lights moving in tandem from the southwest to the east at 22:02 - 22:07 hours. In binoculars, each light was defined as three red lights in a triangular pattern. As they moved from west to east a white light became visible just behind the red ones. The lights stayed the same distance apart for the whole time they were visible.

We watched them travel about 5 miles at an altitude just above the tree level. There was absolutely no noise accompanying their movement - it was absolutely silent.

They continued easterly until they dropped below the tree line and could not bee seen any longer.

Saw triangular shaped, black object with greenish lights, on 2/19/05, in De. USA at 9:30pm EST

I was driving home after work, approx. 9:30 est, heading west. I had seen unusual looking lights pretty far out to the southwest; they caught my eye, and i sort of kept an eye on them, off/on for a few miles. They had an unusual shape/were sort of a greenish tint. There were a few cars on the road with me for awhile. As I neared home, all the cars I had been traveling with left the road, and I was alone traveling west, about 3-4 min. from home. The area I live in is in the country, but not desolate. There are quite a few homes, separated by fields/large lots. There was almost a full moon. As i approached an intersection, suddenly the lights seemed to come right toward me,fast,then slowed down and went right across the road, in front of me,about 20 or 30 feet above the road,and then stopped and hovered above a field.

There is a section of trees about 30 or 40 feet high running parallel to the field.The trees hid most of the craft;when it went into the field, an incredibly bright light flashed for about a minute or so.The craft seemed to turn around. I could see enough from where i stopped to see that. It was like a greenish white huge, oblong shaped light...as bright as a laser. I didnt know what to do. I was petrified and thought that if i went forward, God knows what would happen to me. So i pulled up into a driveway that was nearby. Two houses were there with their lights out.

I turned my lights/radio off and tried to sit very still. The light went out and the craft lifted slowly up over the trees toward me. i looked up and saw underneath the craft. It moved very slowly. It was black and triangular shaped with a rounded sort of nose. It was about 60 feet wide.with green lights spaced equal distances apart.

There were lines, black lines underneath. It hovered over me for about 5 min, mabey less. It didnt make any sound at all. Finally, it moved slowly on toward the east.

I watched it go for a few minutes and then got the courage to tear out of there and go home. I have been unable to get the images out of my mind.

I was so scared/in utter disbelief at what was happening that i put the car into reverse andbacked up without looking.

witness to the too close meteor in durham, nc. : meteor or ufo?

i just saw in the compuserve news that on the date above, what i thought was an abnormally close meteor was being construed by people in durham to be a ufo. i saw it in clayton, out of the corner of my eye. i was with my brother in law in his truck, and we were at the intersection of 70E and alternate 70, and he was looking the other way because he wasn't speaking to me, because i work for him and i was 5 mins. late.i saw near the horizon, northwest, a blazing streak of green light with a white and orange fireball on it, and i made a wish on it! i looked for smoke or a vibration to say that it landed, but there was none, and i thought, that was too too close. and i thought, what kind of damage could it have done? it's almost halloween and i know there's a possibility of this being a joke, but there was an unusually bright meteor out there at 8:45pm on monday, 20 October 2003. i'm not mistaken about the time because we were due into smithfield at 9:00 and we were running late. i do believe in life on other planets, because we can't be so egotistical to believe that we're the only ones, and i do believe that some of them have more advanced civilizations, and a few could probably stand floating around in a space station for a few hundred years. but could they make it to earth? that's the question. i still think what i saw was a too close meteor, but i'm interested in hearing your take on it. thank you.

bright oval white light/moves at an incrediable speed zigzaging between trees(forest like)/followed us about 15 to 20 minutes.

I was leaving Angel Hospital in Franklin N.C. late one evening around 22:00 hours. We were heading home toward I 85 in Cummings I believe the road was named 365 back then. It was a two lane back road. It was a very dark clear night. Driving around 55 mph. I notice my three children were looking out the back of my van and I could not see behind me. I asked them what they were doing and they said Mommy we are kind of scared there is something following us it is a bright white light. I asked how long it has been following us? They said shortly after we got out side of town where there was no lights. I looked and seen what they were talking about and I slowed down to about 20 miles mph. It did get closer quickly and it was following us. This road was a back road and we only seen maybe two cars pass by. The kids stared screaming Mom it is getting closer I looked and it was. I started speeding up to about 55 mph it did to I went 70 mph well it did two. I noticed that the oval shape light was moving in and out in between trees and an unbelievable amount of speed. I knew I was about 30 miles from the interstate I85. I speed up to 80 mph and it speed up to still weaving in between the trees. It scared the scrap out of me. Being chase and not knowing what in the world this craft was. Kids were scared and crying by this time. I increase my speed to 95 mph it did to. Now it is by this time to close and still doing the zigzag through the trees. I was to scared to slow down and scared of going to fast. I saw a light tower ahead and I knew we were getting closer to the interstate. It was almost as time just froze in place a deer just jumped in front of the van and I don’t know why but I hit the head light button and turned the head lights off and the deer eyes locked into my eyes and it jumped really high and continued to the woods when it landed I had just hit my brakes at that time but not enough to even come close to stop just an attempt to but the deer was on the side of the road in perfect condit! ion and looking at us like we were crazy. I then saw a car on coming going toward the light it had no more passed my and it slammed on breaks and stopped the car half on the road and other half off the road they got out with doors left open and they were heading for the ditch. I had hit my brakes during this and slowed way down. I think because we were so close to the interstate and lots of lights and activity it retreated and disappeared within a matter of seconds. I stopped and the car that those people that had passed me stood up with their hand in the air pointing at the object. It disappeared. I have never felt so much relief in my life and a since of calmness came about the children and I. Weird it was actually chasing us. Those people got back in their cars and continued going in that direction. I will say I have never been down that road again! I have never experienced anything like that in my whole life and I am now 50.

The technology of this aircraft light or what ever you want to call it to be able to travel at such unbelievable speeds through the tree zigzagging. I don’t even want to know or think about it? This really happed! People looked at me as if I was crazy when I told them what had happened but I told them to ask the children what happened on the drive back from North Carolina. When the children came up to me I told them to ask they did and all three at the same time all chimed in telling them the same things I had just told them. The look on their faces was priceless. I was glad that the children were with me but at the same time I wished they hadn’t been with me. I don’t even want to think what would have happened if I had of stopped long before we got to the expressway.

Sphere shaped object about the size of a water tower, spinning rapidly.

I remember the night very vividly and I am pretty sure about the date because it was the day before school started back. My mother and I were riding home from the grocery store and as we approached the road we lived on we noticed a big redish/orange sphere above the trees. At first we thought it was the moon because sometimes when the moon rises it looks red, but we marveled at how big it was.

As we got closer we noticed that it wasn't the moon and it was hovering about 30 feet above the tree line right where we had to turn. Well, as we turned down our road the object was on the passenger side where I was sitting and I got very good look at it. It was about the size of the top of a water tower and it was spinning very rapidly, it had the same texture as you see in pictures of a glowing hot sun, and vapor was shooting off of it as it spun.

I was 8 years old at the time and I remember going to school the next day and telling my teacher and other students in the class what I saw because I was sure one of them had seen it too... unfortunatly none of them had seen it and found the story very amusing...lol

The object was seen by me and my mother in Clayton off of Powhatan Rd. and Davis Rd. David Rd is now Glen Laurel Rd.

Oh My God!!! I thought that it was just me, I was afraid to ask my neighbors if they had heard what I had heard on the evening of 2/27/13 in Clayton, NC. Now I know that I am not losing it!!! My son was in his room, and I was in my room and I realized that there was a constant roaring noise similar to an airplane engine, but it appeared to be hovering over our apartment building. I noticed that this sound was right over the roof and had a duration of 2 minutes. It would then just abruptly stop, (I didn't hear any trailing of sounds, it would just stop). The sound would come back after around 10 minutes it did this 3 times. My dog's hair stood up on the back of his neck and he would not run to the window to see what was going on, he was clearly on alert. My son came out of the room shaken, as was I and we surmised that it could not have been a helicopter nor a plane flying low because the sound was a constant loud engine sound directly above our heads n! ot like a plane totally indescribable, nothing that I truly have ever heard. I shared this with a friend in another state, who texted me the next day to see if I had asked my neighbors if they had heard what my son and I had heard that evening. I didn't want to seem cuckoo, so I didn't share my experience with neighbors. I heard the noise again this evening on Thursday 3/7/13. I am wondering if there is a coincidence of the fact that the woods have been cleared where I live and from the sky it my look like a landing field. I know that what I heard that evening in those three intervals was not man made as well because the sound was too close and the noise stopped abruptly after a length of 2minutes of roaring. The event lasted about 30 to 40 minutes. I do believe then as I do now, that my son and I had encountered a UFO over our apartment building as we are on the top floor. We also live right off of Highway 70
