Duration: 10 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Depew, NY, USA

Shape: Chevron
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

Small or high altitude chevrons in V pattern followed by ever lower or larger chevron over Depew NY

I was going out for a walk with a friend and just after we left, I noticed three chevron shaped lights going over in a V formation.

At first I thought they were meterors or something but they seemed to be holding a formation. Shortly before disappearing out of sight, another came over at the same speed but larger or at a lower altitude. It cruised over in the same direction and eventually disappeared as well. All objects were riddish orange amd had no flashing lights or trails. We also noticed no noise coming from the lights.

I'm always watching the sky and have seen all kinds of aircraft and even some satelites. These seemed a bit unique so I dicided to report it.

Thank you for any info on these lights.




((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS))

Yeah no hoax here. I mean, I'm only telling exactly what I saw. I'm just not sure exactly what they were. Both sightings were weird in their own ways. The first ones were traveling in somewhat straight lines but if you looked hard, you could see them almost zig zag. Looking like a short wave medium frequency if it had left a trail. If that makes sense. The second night was really strange cuz the first sighting was still sorta fresh in our minds. It was only two of us the second time tho. Same colors, no zig zag, similar shape, much lower alt. The second time you could really see that they were like small glowing boomerangs... Haha. I hate explaining it like that cuz it sounds crazy. I watch all the ufo documentaries and I sound like those folks now.

I'm just looking for an explanation I guess. I've always been in the middle when it comes to this stuff. Because I know people lie, exaggerate, halucinate... But after I saw the lights holding a formation and then the forth one come over even lower, we were just playing it off like they were low level meteors or something.... flying in formation.... yeah. Meteors fly in formation right? Haha. Anyway, I'm not making it up, and I have no reason to pull some hoax. I'll even be anonymous if I have to.

Thank you for your time and any info you can send. I can better narrow down the time as well if that helps. Thank you again.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 41310
Occurred: 2004-11-12 15:30 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2004-12-30 18:18 Pacific
Duration: 2 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Depew, NY, USA

Shape: Cigar
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

A cigar shaped, shiney, silvery object stopped and started a few times, without turning, over Depew, NY.

On Friday, November 12th, at 3:30 PM, my husband was driving me to a doctor appointment, driving north on Transit Road.

I had my seat back and was just looking up at the sky out the passenger window. The sun was shining and there were a few clouds in the sky, a very nice day. I was looking northeast from the car. My husband stopped for a red light at Broadway and Transit Rd...and that's when I saw it.

I spotted an object, elongated like a cigar, which appeared to be metal, silver in color, the sun shining on it. There was no sound at all that I could hear and I didn't see any windows or wings. It traveled in an southeasterly direction. I then spotted a plane traveling northwest and I thought they would collide, but the plane crossed in front of it. I wondered if the pilot saw this thing. The cigar shaped object traveled slowly and steadily......then suddenly stopped in midair for a second, then moved in the direction from which it came.....no turning or anything. I couldn't take my eyes off it. I had never seen anything like it in my life. My husband continued north on Transit Road and I kept my eyes on the object. By now I was babbling like a maniac. Then it stopped again for a second, and moved again from where it came.......I kept my eyes on it as we traveled....and I saw it once again stop and start traveling again..but then we were so far I couldn't keep track of it.

Continuing on to Main Street, I noticed before and after the doctor appointment that there were quite a number of planes in the sky, with their white exhaust trailing after them.

I am thoroughly puzzled and amazed. I don't know of anything that moves in the sky, stops in midair, then goes in the opposite direction, without turning. My husband suggested it was a blimp, but even blimps have to make a turn to go in the opposite direction, don't they? He didn't see it at all because he had his eyes on the road going north.

It most certainly was NOT a balloon, nor a blimp. It had no wings. I can't determine its altitude, but as I recall, the plane looked a bit larger and I could see the plane had wings. That's about all I can remember about it, but I can't forget it.

An internet friend of mine who lives in Canada said that the next day she also saw something in the sky that looked like what I described. She lives in Stoney Creek, Ontario, but I'm not sure if she was in Stoney Creek at the time she saw it.

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

the fist craft was a triangle aprox. one football field per span on each side. there where lights down each side with on incredible light on the tip or the front. this light was so bright it was impossibe to avoid seeing. this craft stood motionless had no sound. as quick as it appeard another light came out of the bottom. This light revolved around in a circle patten underneath the large craft. it revolved around 5 or 6 times then left in a southern pattern toward buffalo airport. It moved slow then as if it knew we where looking it took off rapidly.the large craft seem to make a turn without leaning like a plane and took off. I waited to tell anyone because im still in disbelief myself. I just cant sleep and needed to tell someone. I have nothing to gain just piece of mind my 8 yr old son mention it to me just the other day so I know he feels like me as does my wife. I always wanted to see if these things where real now i wish i was still wondering
