Location: Dunkirk, IN, USA

Shape: Circle
Color: white
Estimated Size: 50 feet
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: east-north-east
Angle of Elevation: 12
Closest Distance: 100 yards
Characteristics: Emitted beams

No sound, projected several bright beams of light from round circle of light into woods onto the ground.

I'm an old guy. Was watching TV and noticed a stationary round white light to the N-NE out of my east facing family room window. Didn't really think much about it, thought it was an airplane or helicopter. It disappeared. Seconds later it reappeared and was closer-about 100 yards in the same direction, however it was larger. That's when the white beams of light came on. It was obviously night-time and the lights were so bright they illuminated the entire woods. They weren't normal search type lights-they moved to fast. At this time I went outside for a better look, it was gone, it was dead quiet. No helicopter and airplane sounds. This happened in about a 20 seconds. I guess it might have been an aircraft, but I've never seen anything like this in the past. I believe it was a UFO because there was NO sound at all. I prefer my name not used. You can contact me if this is a legitimate UFO sighting.

Duration: 10 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Dunkirk, MD, USA

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby, Electrical or magnetic effects

Orbs of light floating in a disc pattern . Red and green lights on a craft possible triangular

I first saw a large craft with green and red lights. It seemed to float in place and then go straight upward. It then moved further out to one side. By the time I started videotaping, it was pretty far away and my phone didn't capture a good video. I saw what seemed to look like more lights in the sky blinking in close proximity to the one I had been watching.

I went back inside to call my husband, who is a truck driver, to tell him and he said you just interrupted me, I was trying to video tape this UFO looking thing hovering over an embassy building in East Brunswick New Jersey! There's probably no way we saw the same thing but the timing was insane.

I then started to see more aircraft, which I thought were possibly military with the green and red lights. They would go straight up into the sky and then move out over top the house. They made no noise. When I was outside taping, however, I thought I heard a low humming noise. I am not sure about the aircraft after the original sighting, but whatever I was seeing the first time had to been a UFO. I was thinking maybe the craft that came after were miltary chasing the objects, since they went out of sight.

I was at my father's house visiting, and everyone in the house was sleeping, besides me, but my husband was seeing similar things and on the phone with me while I was watching part of it.

The next day I realized my phone had set timers for the same time 8:40 PM over and over. There were at least 5 alarms set for the same day and there's no way I would have done that.

Orb seen hovering in sky, vanished within a few seconds.

I was on my way up to a town (driving in my car) called Dunkirk earlier and I look up in the sky and see this round orb sitting there. From where I was it was small (if you were to hold up a match at arms length, it was the size of a matchhead) and not moving. But it was shiney because the sun was behind me and the orb in front of me.

So I'm like, "hmm, maybe it's just a plane getting hit by the sun" and didn't think much of it.

So I drive about 400-500 yards up this big hill that goes into the town. When I get into the town I look off to my left and I see four military planes in formation off to my left. These planes looked odd and they were hauling ass. I look back to my right (by this time the orb was behind me and to the right) and it was GONE ! In a matter of 30 seconds or so.

Then I look back at the planes and all four of them were turning around above me and headed back to I would guess Andrews Air Force Base in a hurry.

I was blown away. I didn't think it was a UFO at first, but I had my suspicions, now I know it was.

I found a picture of the plane and come to find out, they were Warthogs, here is a link of what the plane looked like: http://www.altixsoft.com/airforce/screenshot3.jpg Here is a picture of what the Orb looked like: http://www.orbwar.com/light/orb-block-005b.jpg

Me and a friend viewed a craft. We turned around to see it again and it had vanished.

Coming up a hill (towards solomons, I believe it is southbound) immediately after the route 261 turnoff from route 4 me and a friend of mine saw a UFO flying approximately 100 to 300 feet off the ground. It was shaped like a "K" with two lights (almost like searchlights)(these lights also gave off enough light to tell its shape though it was not an auro or haze around the ship caused by some other souce) at the top and bottom of the the vertical line of the "K". We decided to turn around and see it again. This was no more than 20 to 40 seconds afterward. Upon turning around this craft had vanished. We scanned the horizon in all directions and could not find any sign of the craft. Also within 1 minute of our sighting this craft there was an extremely bad automobile accident approximately 2 miles southbound(?? towards solomons) of our location. One of the observers (namely me) has believed for sometime that there are such things as UFO's and aliens (not nescessarily related but maybe) and the other observer thought both ideas were ludicrous though now he does believe in UFO's and thinks aliens may exist. ****IF YOWOULD LIKE TO YOU MAY CONTACT ME FOR FURTHER INFO.

Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Dunkirk, IN, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

Silent craft and many more smaller objects over rural Indiana.

I went to close my bedroom window and spotted a large, bright orange light. I retrieved my glasses, expecting to see something on fire. Instead, I saw an oval orange light throbbing in different shades. I could tell by local landmarks that it was not on the ground, but barely above the northern horizon. It was between the neighbor's farm and the next road, putting it within a mile of my home.

No sound.

The light came closer, growing in size, then suddenly started to drift eastward. I turned off my bedroom light to get a better look. That allowed my eyes to adjust.

I found the sky was alive with tiny specks of light zipping around. Without movement, whatever they were could have passed for stars.

Approximately forty of them. Some solid white. Some solid red. Some blinking red. Some blinking white. Some blinking both colors. Zipping in all directions at various speeds, but some moving so fast, I could barely follow them. Some would interact.

I remember one pair in particular that blinked furiously as they came together. They spun around each other and then just zipped away at angles and speeds that seemed impossible.

I never saw the smaller lights interact with the larger light, but by then, it had drifted behind a nearby woods and was hard to make out.

I went to get a second witness to the event. By the time I got back, all the lights had winked out.

Wife and saw a saucer shaped UFO hovering road in broad daylight for approximately three minutes.

Beautiful early evening traveling in car with wife one mile from Dunkirk. Hovering just off road is shiny saucer shaped craft approximately 100 feet in air and maybe 25 feet in diameter.

I stopped car and asked wife if she sees what I see as she does. I shut off car and get out.I don't here sound from saucer but a small wisp of vapor is coming from it. Attaced to the under surface of the saucer was a cup shaped structure which had window like spaces around the circumference. On the undersurface of the cup was three lights(revolving I think)and possibly red, yellow and green?

I got back in car, as saucer slowly started to soundlessly rise and followed saucer to Dunkirk at which time the saucer had achieved a high altitude and poof just disappeared.saw no beings in the windows? Of the craft
