Seen perfect transparent square in the sky.

I was riding my motorcycle west on 9mile rd. near I 75 when I looked up to my right and saw a perfect outline of a square in the sky maybe a little bigger than 2 football fields next to each other hard to tell how high it was. It was lower than the clouds. It almost looked like a huge mirror, but I could see the clouds behind it like it was see through or transparent. I tried to pull over to take a picture but when I cleared some trees that blocked my view, I could no longer see it.

Location details: Ferndale Michigan. Southbound Woodward avenue, approximately a quarter mile before nine mile road

Color: Lighted
Estimated Size: Basketball or similar size.
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: South bound on Woodward avenue.
Angle of Elevation: 45
Closest Distance: 3-7 feet
Estimated Speed: Hard to estimate because it was so close.
Characteristics: Lights on object

A simple sighting which lasted one second.

As I was driving southbound down Woodward avenue (Woodward avenue runs at an angle so it isn’t true south) , before coming to the nine mile intersection, I had my eyes on the road. A sphere approximately the size of a basketball, which had no color but was shining in a way you can imagine some white shining light bulb. This object flew across in front of my vehicle , the object was flying westbound coming from eastbound at a very high speed I can not really estimate. (Keep in mind this road doesn’t run directly south but at an angle) The object appeared to have been flying straight from the east to the west but as it passed my vehicle it went up at 3 o’clock. I estimate it came in at 9 o clock from how I could see, but I did not see what angle it flew in on before it came in front of my vehicle. I do not know if it came from the sky before I got to see it. it couldn’t have been more than above 7 feet above ground, I am estimating. it flew in the middle of my windshield view of my sedan and its distance away was easier to estimate than its height above ground. It was 4-7 feet away from the front bumper end of my car. am only writing this because there were other people around but I do not know if anyone else noticed or filed a report as well. It flew by so fast, that it’s possible not many people were looking at the spot I was during my drive. Unfortunately, I don’t have too much more information for you because i could not look up to my 2 or 3 o’clock in my car to follow the sphere due to obstacles, and I couldn’t of seen much because there were many buildings blocking the view of potential paths the sphere would have taken as it went up. Someone else may have had some sighting and I hope this fits into some puzzle of other sightings in the vicinity. This is the first time I’ve ever seen something like that, and I am surprised it was so small and in a populated area. I really wish I could of gotten a better view or more time. I hope someone else did and this information helps.

saw a green segmented object slowly traveling thru the sky

my daughter and i saw what appeared to be what i can only describe as a sparkler in the sky. the object changed direction and headed east and as it came in to view the craft appeared to be three section that where linked like semi trailers would be. the sections glowed green that my wife described as "like a glow stick" the three sections had what appeared to be dark black struts holding the frame of the craft together. the craft also had a metallic, and for lack of a better term, "cab" that seemed to be pulling the object. the object seemed to be in no hurry and we watched the object until it disappeared from view behind a stand of trees.

Shape: Chevron
Characteristics: Lights on object

Pale blue asymmetric chevron of several steady lights.

We were enjoying a hot tub when directly overhead we saw a faintly lit chevron traveling about twice the speed of a plane traveling north to south. It looked more like reflected light than light that was generated from a source. At first I thought it might be reflected light from a flight of geese but the asymmetric chevron held an unchanging uniformity. It was comparable in size to a full moon, maybe a bit larger. The lights were somewhat faint and your average star like blue in color. They were steady and unchanging. There appeared to be maybe 4 linear lights on one side and 3 on the other side of the chevron. We heard no sound. I am an amature astronomer and this totally blew me away. I have never seen anything like it. Unfortunately we were in the hot tub so I have no images. Would love to know if anyone else saw it.

Line of lights (like satellites but many!)

Saw a line of lights moving across the morning sky, equally spaced in a line. Occasionally one light was adjacent to the line but maintaining the same speed. Traveling from NE to SW. They look like satellites (similar constant speed, no flashing lights). There seemed to be many of them. I witnessed approx. 20, but they were in the sky before I got outside and were still flying by when I went in so who knows how many?

Blinking light in the sky with unusual movements.

Let the dog out to the yard to go to the bathroom. Was about to bring him inside when I see a light in the sky hovering south of me. There were multiple lights but it was far enough away it looked like a point of light, couldn't quite make out a shape. One white light was constantly on, the other (2 or more) lights were blinking colors. I used a star light to base the movements. It would hover for a few seconds then jerk in any direction and then hover again. Reminded me of the seemingly random movements of an insect. I took a 5 min video on my phone and stayed at least another 5 min holding my dog watching the event. The object stayed in the same area of the sky (between two close trees) from my vantage, and moving away from me southbound slightly. I am familiar with the movements of known aircraft including personal drones. At first, I thought It was a drone, but the movements were inconsistent with a drone because there was no acceleration or deceleration, ! just movement and seemingly perfect hovering. There is an airport in the area. The clouds moved in during the sighting and the unknown light was below the cloud layer. There was twice a smaller/distant light that blinked once near the object similar to a satellite. I went inside because I got cold and the light was still doing it's thing in the sky, never saw it leave the area.

Very fast moving orb, very high up - came to an immediate stop

Noticed what looked like a meteorite in the North end of the sky at night. Was just a light blue illuminated dot. Took 3-4 seconds to fly all the way across the sky. Appeared to be really high up, and travelling incredibly fast, and moved at an arch (not a straight line). At second thought, it looked like a crashing plane. Once it got to the South sky, it came to an immediate stop. At that point, it looked like one of the many stars visible in the sky. Kept watching it for another minute or so, and it did nothing - just looked like any other star. Tried to keep an eye on it as I walked home (I was out walking my dog). Once it became obscured by a tree, I couldn't recall which one it was when I tried to find it again.

In the 3-4 seconds that it was flying across the sky, my thoughts were "Oh cool, a meteorite... No, that is a really low flying plane... No, it is really high... Wait, is it crashing? Wow, that is really moving... IT STOPPED!!!!"

Blue-ish solid light over Ferndale

We were outside taking in the cool evening air around 830 pm in Ferndale, WA, something caught my attention out the corner of my eye naturally I turned towards the Pacific looked up at what caught my eye, and saw a couple of planes three of them to be exact I thought well that’s weird why are they all in the same area almost circling a specific area in the sky (my husband said they were doing that to get ready to land)

anyway, in the distance I saw a blue-ish light noticeably different from the lights coming from the three planes. The planes had strobes on them like every other plane in the sky. I said to my husband please tell me you see that weird light coming from the Pacific area above or near Lummi Nation? He said yeah, I do. So this blue-ish light from a distant seem to have jumped or slipped I don’t know what to call it but it instantaneously appeared near the planes and the plane lights disappeared (confused) the light made a left turn as it was comi! ng from the pacific area and went toward Canada.

Slow-moving orangish-red lights over Whatcom County, Washington

Independence Day 2014 about 12 miles north of Bellingham, Washington. Around 10:00 p.m. my sister and I watched an orangish-red light in the SW sky move slowly away from us in an upward trajectory. It had no blinking strobes that would have identified it as an aircraft. We forgot about it and around 11:00 p.m.

I went outside to watch and listen to fireworks, and a live rock concert taking place across a neighboring field when I noticed a semi-bright white light low in the southern sky over the Bellingham Bay - Lummi Island area. I was thinking that it looked like the moon behind clouds... the sky was about 95% overcast with small open holes where I could see some stars.

The light slowly turned in a westerly direction changing from white to the bright orangish-red color. I got my binoculars and my sister and when we looked for it again it was behind a clump of trees but we could still see it intermittently.

When it completely re-emerged there were two of them! moving slowly and appearing to be connected in some way. One appeared to be following and catching up to the other light -- or they were two lights connected to a moving craft, that appeared to get closer together as the object rotated and moved away from us.

I felt that there was no way that two aircraft would be flying that close together at night. They did what the earlier light did, slowly moving away from us in an upward trajectory in the SW sky and then blinked out or disappeared into the cloudcover.

This sighting lasted for about 4 minutes in total. In between songs at the concert and fireworks we noticed that the lights made no sound whatsoever.

About 15 - 20 minutes after the sighting a commercial airliner went through the same area of sky as the lights and it had the obvious bright white nose light and strobing lights along with its jet engine sound.

I saw a saucer with a orange glow in the sky above Ferndale Washington.

I was sitting on a bench in Pioneer Park and I saw a saucer moving slowly across the sky. It had a really bright orange light in the middle of it and a orange glow around the saucer. I was watching it and all of a sudden it shot off into the sky and I could not see it any more. About 5 mins later it flew over really slow and then shot off again.

I was driving south bound on Ferndale rd. back to slater road when I noticed 2 amber lights in the sky when I came around the corner and out of the trees I noticed one more for a total of 3 amber lights in the sky just below the cloud line.

I pulled over and shut off my car and then got out of my car to listen. I heard no jet noise or engine noise.

They just moved alone slightly. The lights never changed color and there was not any blinking lights like on an aircraft.

They were traveling north bound just below the cloud line and then the two front objects seamed to pause and then started moving east and up into the clouds when I could no longer see them.

The third light did the exact same thing I watch the lights for about 2 minutes until they were gone...

I have no idea what they were except 3 amber lights in the sky with no noise

Bright white ball traveling at fast speed crosses rural road in evening, 2 witnesses

Approximately between 8-8:30 pm on Wednesday evening 11/15/11, I was traveling in my car with my 14 year old son. It was dark; our speed was about 30 mph. coming down a hill. Our location was 48.86 N and -122.64 W (Google map coordinates), in a very rural area with some houses scattered throughout the acreage. I was on Olson Rd. in Ferndale, just south of Thornton Rd.

A small ball of light flew past our car, coming from the west and going east. It was below street light level (if there were street lights, which there were not) and was similar looking to a falling star going sideways in front of us, with a slight glow following it. It was hard to tell the size or the distance from our car and above the landscape. It may have been 20-40 feet in front of us, moving quite fast and maybe the size of a softball?!

It happened so quickly that it almost didn’t register in my brain. It didn’t occur to me to stop and watch it either. After 3 or 4 seconds passed! , I asked my son, "Did you just see that?" He said, "Yeah."

I said, "What do you think that was?" He said, "I don’t know."

I am posting this now, because I just learned about you and a friend sent me a posting someone made in 2001 that was almost the exact same location and description I experienced. I may not have ever brought it up with anyone if there had not been another person with me that saw the same thing. I probably would not have trusted what I saw.

Shape: Triangle


two triangular shapesin the sky with a frightful feeling that accompanied them

My 8 yr. old daughter was sleeping in my bed when I awoke to hear her whimpering as though quite frightened. I was half asleep myself, and told her to go back to sleep, that she was having a bad dream.

She replied that she was not dreaming, but that there are two triangle star things outside in the sky. I told her not to be afraid that she was just having a bad dream and she said, "No I’m not, I’m looking at them right now. I can see them through the window."

Unfortunately, I did not get out of bed to investigate, but went back to sleep. My daughter doesn’t get nightmares, but I was very tired and groggy that night, and I am generally fearless, so I didn’t give it much heed until the morning.

My daughter was very clear on the description, and drew the shape for me. She said they were triangular, but with rounded edges, white, cloud-like in color, sort of like light, but without lights. They were quite a bit bigger than the stars, moving around mostly slowly. One flew faster in a semi-circle around the other, then up and down. There was no noise, and they gave her a terrified feeling. I am not sure how long it lasted, because after a min. or so, she was too scared to watch anymore.

I wouldn’t have thought to report it but when I came across this site and saw that somebody else had reported black triangles in the same little town in Jan. and that a "haunting feeling" came over him/her,

I wondered if more people have seen and experienced similar things in this area.

Triangle Shape, no noise, no lights

I went out to place tape over an exhaust fan duct on the side of the house,to keep it from flapping in the wind. I do this just about every night. Nothing unusual. We live in a dark, semi rural area. There was a bright moon and quickly moving clouds at various levels. I was staring at the clouds as they passed over the moon and between all of this I noticed an odd 'triangular' form moving slowly east. I kept thinking it was another cloud, however it was not moving as fast as the wind was moving the clouds. Hard to see as some of the clouds were larger and blocked out the moon. I saw this shape about three or four times between the clouds and siluetted in the moonlight. I could not figure the size and it did not directly pass in front of the moon. It was 'off to the side'. Yet the object must have been solid as it blocked out light around it. No noise, no blinking lights, no lights at all. Just this odd black triangular shape, silently moving east. As I was w! atching it an "odd feeling" came over me. I became a bit 'un-nerved' and thought 'this is strange'. I've been thinking about it for a few days and started looking around the internet for information on unusual objects. I came across your website and thought I would add this event. It was most pecular and I cannot remember having such an "odd" feeling after having seen it. The 'feeling' has stayed in my mind more than the actual 'object'. So there are two related events, seeing this thing and a feeling I can only describe as 'haunting'. For want of a beter word. I never saw anything like it before. We live near an airport landing approach and planes are loud. This object had no noise and was higher than any plane (I think) in that I could not see any details. No wings, or landing gear. Just a shape. I ws watching it for perhaps four to five minutes? As it was moving slow, not like an aircraft approach. And moving east toward Mt. Baker. You can contact me via email. Thank You

FIVE SEPARATE BRIGHT LIGHTED AIRCRAFTS SEEN OVER FERNDALE, NY.

We were driving Old Route 17 (very dark road) headed west when one of the passengers looked off to the right and saw a very bright light in the distance. The driver was promted to pull over when there was a clearing from the trees. When we pulled over, we noticed an incredible bright light that was very far away but seemed very close. The bright light was of an orange/yellow tint. The object was not moving but rather hovering in one spot. Shortly after the driver noticed the light was dimming. After the light dimmed out it turned a very vivid orange color and began to move very fast. Then as it got further away red lights began to circle the bottom of the craft giving away its shape. It looked like an upside down top. While it was moving away we noticed an airplane traveling directly for the object which was so close that we thought they would crash. Then we noticed three other objects in the sky as the main one got further away. The other three consisted of a very bright white light that blinked inconsistantly in different blinking patterns, all of which were hovering. Once those began to move they also began to change color (mainly red, orange, and yellow). As they got further in the distance we realized that all four objects were traveling in the same direction. After the objects were covered by the trees, we began to travel further down the road when the passenger in the back noticed another object towards the left of the road which was a bright red at first and then changed to an orange color. This light, dislike the others was a clear solid light that clearly changed. At first the three lights on the objects were horizontal to each other, but the further it got and as the color changed it went to a vertical pattern. When we could not see it anymore, we then drove to our distination not seeing anything else for the rest of the night. Strangly while we were seeing all of these objects, there was several planes in the air which were completely different then the other 5 objects we saw giving it a distinct difference between an unknown aircraft and an airplane. This event lasted between 15 and 20 minutes.

Strange cloud with pulsating greenish lights moving in a circular pattern within that cloud.

I actually never saw a craft, just a strange looking cloud that had pulsating, rythmic greenish light within it in the northwest sky. This was observed after going outside to get my dog who had steadily been barking for several minutes just after sunset. Also I noted several other dogs in the area were barking, not in a threatened manner, but more as if they were just disturbed. My partner also saw the cloud, but returned inside to watch a movie, while I watched the cloud for about 1.5 hours. I looked above me to see other clouds in the sky were moving, all except that cloud, which never moved. The light seemed to go around in a circular pattern within the cloud, almost a teal color. I did finally get into my car about 8:40 pm and drove around Mills Mountain to get a different vantage point. I never did however. The light was gone when I got home and I noted that all the dogs I heard barking in the area had stopped barking. The cloud was, however, still visible without lights, and had changed into a sort of fog, softer looking. I estimate that this cloud was from 1-3 miles from my home, about 10 degrees above Mills Mountain and was more horizontal in shape. I would estimate its size, maybe the size of a football stadium, hard to say though. I live in a rural area just west of Little Rock on 6 acres.

Rectangular object hovering over I-696 in Ferndale, Michigan

I saw the object as I drove Eastbound on I-696 towards the Woodward exit. At first, I thought that it was a banner being pulled by a plane, but it was moving way too slow. Then, I thought that it was a heliocopter, and that my eyes just weren't focused into the actual shape. But as I got closer, it became evident that the object was definitely rectangular. I couldn't make out the color because I was still at least 5 miles away from it as it moved slowly across the expressway in an Southernly direction. I was really tempted to drive further down the expressway to get a better look, but unfortunately, I had to go to work :( The object appeared to be at least 1000 feet up or so, and was too big to be a heliocopter; and it moved very slowly, if at all as if it were just hovering. I'm not saying that it was a UFO, but I know that I would have recognized the craft if it was anything familar like a plane or chopper. I just want to know what it was.

I was watching the Northern Lights last night with my boyfriend. He was looking at constellations through binoculars when I saw it. At first we were looking at a red flashing light that was moving pretty fast for an airplane. My boyfriend said that through the binoculars you could tell it was an airplane. Then, right where I had first seen the red light there was a bright light in the sky. At first it looked like a spotlight, then I notice it was shaped like a thick boomerang. It was glowing yellowish green, and very bright, I could see it very clearly. I started yelling to my boyfriend,"What is that!".

He caught a quick look at it through the binoculars, but didn't spot it until right before it disappeared. It was at least 50-100 times larger than a star.

The last night of the eight planets lining up. Huge craft flew over. NO SOUND. Thought it was a shooting star, went really fast then slowed down. Weirdest thing.

My husband wanted to see the planets lined up and it was the last night for looking, or the second to last night. He thought he saw a shooting star,but then the star slowed down and started coming our way. Then we thought it was an airplane but it was'nt making any noise. It flew over our heads, it was bigger then the house when it went over. no sound what so ever. He got scared because the next minute I'm out there all by myself watching this thing leave. I ran in and asked how come he left me. He said it was to cold and besides, it must have been an owl. I laugh, because he has finally witnessed something strange that he can't explain. I always see stuff. Finally a witness!Helicopter flew around the next couple of days after the sighting. Never saw so many helicopters in the area before. I swear some of them looked like they were looking right in my window. My husband thinks I'm nuts because I'm always having something like this happening to me. I was so happy to have him with me that night. I checked the first characteristics down below, but my husband saw the light, then it winked out and from then on it was just a dark object. No sound, that is the weirdest thing to me, no sound.

All i remember is that the blue orb chased me and i was taken in whatever it was i was then introduced to the greys as a peaceful scientific race of people they did the standard check up most earth doctors perform then asked me to look into a machine that looked like the A or B sight machines at the eye doctor. Suddenly all the knowledge i would ever want or need suddenly flooded in my head before my eyes then i was boosted mentally somehow since to this day i have psychic power and from then on i still recieve alien knowledge but thrugh dreams and not direct contact after the event i was diagnosed with autism which i never had before the encounter and i still am autistic according to most earth doctor's.

A well lighted object seen from my window...

In August of 1994, near ten pm, I awoke and looked out my window, and i saw something out of the corner of my eye. I saw an object that looked like an un-sharpened pencil, on its side. It was moving very slowly, and "towing" another craft similar to itself, but smaller in size. They were both glowing with a light that was somehow blurry, while nothing else in my sight was blurry. After about ten seconds, it changed its course, and after about ten-15 seconds of that, it sped off at a mind-boggling speed. It was my first and only sighting, (so far).



NUFORC Note:

Date uncertain. Witness indicates a date in June 1994, but suggests August in the description box. PD

Royal Oak and Ferndale Police watched UFO from the roof of the Royal Oak Police Station.

I was around 16 years old, not sure of the date, between 1965 to 1967. My father was driving east bound on 10 Mile Road, just east of the tracks, my mom was sitting up front in the passenger seat. I was in the back seat, looking down, working on a word search. I did not see it... It was on a Sunday evening....we were going home from a restaurant, that was at 10 Mile road and Woodward, next to the Detroit Zoo....no I696 at that time. My dad yelled as our vehicle goes over the curve, I jerked up to see whats going on, just in time to see something just missing our windshield, I really wasn't sure what I just saw, as my mom whips around pointing her finger in my face, telling me that I was not allowed to anyone ever, to what just happened... To tell you the truth, I wasn't sure what just had happen any way....But on Monday the next day, it was in the Royal Oak Daily Tribune, that the Royal Oak Police and Ferndale Police watched a UFO on the roof of the Royal Oak Police Station....I know it was between the years of 1965 thru 1967, because when my brother went into the army, my dad started taking my mom and I out for dinner on Sundays....My brother served the army between those years... I wish I had saved the news article, but didn't and have been looking for it ever since....I even went to the Royal Oak Library searching and failed....I wish I saw more, but that was one of several sightings I've seen.
