Triangle Shape Craft

3 lights, I could tell it was black, but could not see the craft, just the lights and the shape. It was gliding as if flying from left to right about 250 feet above houses. Went over 3 of the houses and it disappeared. No sound whatsoever. I was letting my pup potty, and all of the sudden I felt earie, I looked up and there it was. It was moving on a straight line, but just so low, it seemed invisible, yet I could see the shape. The 3 lights were only on one side, yet I could tell it was a triangle.

UAP/Drone Sighting

I was taking the dogs out in the early morning and noticed a bright light moving slowly across the sky. I didn’t think much of it until it slowed to a stop, dropped down and hovered for about 45 seconds. From what I know, satellites and planes do not move in that way.

I ran in the house to grab my phone to video what I was seeing. When I returned outside it was moving across the sky again. Keeping the object in frame I didn’t even notice that there was what seemed to be another light off to the right.

Then, out nowhere, an airplane appears in the frame as if it was trying to catch up to the object. I could clearly see that the lights on the airplane were very different than that of the UAP/Drone.

Not sure what is going on in our skies, but what I witnessed was not normal aircraft activity.

Direction from Viewer: West
Angle of Elevation: 6
Closest Distance: 3 miles
Estimated Speed: 1000mph
Explanation: Aircraft - Probable
Characteristics: Lights on object, Left a trail, Made a sound

Object moving from southwestern to the east. Banked to the left heading northbound. Flume spread w/two close engine trails.

My friend and I were watching the eclipse in its entirety. The skies were partly cloudy yet very clear. At the end of the eclipse we noticed an object in the distance racing across the sky from the southwest heading east towards earth. It looked as though it was a comet as it was at a very high altitude with its spread out blazing trail. While it was getting closer to the earth, we started noticing how unconventional the trailing flume was. Seemed to be sparkly at times. The flume trail would spreadout in an equal distance while curving on both sides with two (looked like) precise separate engine streams centering the flume. The flume only lasting a very short time dissipating shortly there after during its whole fly by. Not like a commercial airliner straight, steady trail would have. The closer it got, the more visable it became. There was no sound on the approach nor on its fly by.

Note: Very hgh altitude single jet streams are visible, and steady in the area as commercial airliners pass overhead. However this object flew lower and lower as it got closer and closer.

As it neared getting closer, within a couple minutes it banked towards us to the left heading north bound. When it was banking, it looked like an F-14 Tomcat but with a solid, dark grey, blue with silver Metal body, the wings were solid starting from the very front center mid center point then angle out to wing length going all the way back to the very back of the object & had a lengthened, centered cockpit. It had a small white bright light on its left side as well. However it may have been the sun hitting, reflecting in that spot. The light didn't move as it seemed to stay stationary. The F-14 are not in a current deployment stage. So your guess is as good as mine.

While it finished its bank, it stayed heading north bound and faded in the distance as well as seemed to be slowly gaining altitude. Steadily climbing.

There was no sound as it approached or passed by, however there was a very faint sound of a jet passing a couple minutes after that lasted for quite sometime shadowing in the distance as it got further away.

I've been researching the past few days on military jets having an exercise as well as other possibilities however unable to obtain any definitive results.

If you have any verification it was a military jet, or a UFO, we would appreciate what and who exactly was involved in this maneuver.

Angle of elevation: 45 Degrees

My attached pic is as close to what we witnessed to the best of my knowledge.

Bright light, shooting across the sky, "shooting star," on a bright clear day and just disappeared.

roughly at 7:15 pm, an object, looked like a shooting start, emerged from behind the trees, which is the ocean, and shot up across the sky. It was still very much light outside. I saw it fly for about 4 seconds, before it just disappeared. It was not a plane, or a firework. I was sitting outside, and I was in perfect view of it. It left a trace behind it, which disappeared almost instantly.

This is my report

I was traveling from East to West on Lamar Street on Quintana Island, out of the corner of my eye I thought i saw a shooting star and as i got a full view it looked like a flare but it had a series of moving bright white lights and green lights.

It then instead of going out it came back in the direction it came from almost like a c shape in the sky and repeated this full c motion then it went up into the sky. All happened within a matter of seconds.

Black oval craft flying over my block and in the area shining a strong white beam near us and over some homes.. When the beam would shut off red flickering lights would cut on and off at the bottom of the craft. It kept flying over five or six blocks and a school yard as if it we're looking for something. It had four orange lights south north east and west on the body of the craft. At one point it pointed a beam directly at Me twice. It was intimidating to even look at, but we were also in awe viewing it. It was amazing to say the least. When I finally got the courage to try and record it, it left the area with out returning.

Very large, bright light hovering about 10,000 feet in the air.

The full moon was in the east. Across the sky to the west, directly across from the moon, there was the brightest, largest light I have ever seen. My daughter saw it too.

We stopped the car and watched it. It was very large and bright. It looked like vehicle headlights, but approximately five or size times bigger, and was low, but very far away. I was surprised no one else seemed to see it.

I tried to take a picture on my cell phone but it did not show up on the screen. It wasn't moving, but disappeared 20 or 30 seconds later.

I saw this exact same light about 3 weeks later, in the same place in the sky. I was about 6 miles southeast of the area where I first saw it.

Mysterious Space Craft with Red Light.

I believe I saw a UFO space craft on May 31, 2014 while driving 50mph in Freeport, TX.

It was descending, and then it elevated within a blink an eye, afterwards it accelerated at high speed towards my local chemical plants. There were clouds it flew into, and then it disappeared.

The craft looked similar to a helicopter except it didn’t have a propeller or tail. It was oval shaped with a red light under it. It was about 12- 15 feet in length.

My girlfriend and I were standing outside when all of a sudden a huge light moved across the sky moving east to west. It was as least as bright as the almost full moon. It was so bright it lit the ground up and I could see the shadows of the trees move as it moved over our house. It only last a second or two almost like a shooting star but it was much much larger and brighter. I thought maybe it was a meteor but I never saw or heard it impact the ground.

totally silent and dark objects flew over my neighborhood 11/16/2011

outside talking on phone and smoking cigarette.very quiet and cold out. kind of an amatuer astronomer so so i was starring at sky like i always do when an object came into my view. it was totally silent and dark and flying maybe few hundred feet above the houses. hard to tell what shape exactly it was cause i was kind of creeped out by it. kept starring at sky and sure enough,probably 30 seconds later another object in same flight path flew over, only this object was much bigger and i could make out a hang glider shape. they didnt streak across the sky but moved quick from west to east. i saw each craft for about 10 seconds a peice before trees got in the way. dont have hangliders within 100 miles of here. it's like 10 degrees outside. very quiet and dark objects. very creepy. hope somebody saw this. please contact me via email if this is worth investigating or you have any idea what this was.

Several of my friends and I were in a parking lot and we looks up because it was a nice clear night, and there was a greenish white-ish bright sphere shaped light that was traveling across the sky, slightly slower than a regular shooting star, but also around 10 times the size of a regular shooting star. The object moved across the sky, seeming as though it moved a 5 or so inches (eye sighted) then got a lot brighter like it burst into flames and disappeared as it flew across the sky horizontally.

Rectangular, spinning, multi-colored UFO after seeing two shooting stars leaving green trail

We first saw, what we thought, were two shooting stars. They were very very bright both leaving behind a green trail. Not long after the sun started to rise and we noticed a very bright light in the sky. It moved in very fast motions. It looked like it would go miles the the left or right or up and down within seconds. When zoomed in on with camera it looked like a rectangle standing vertical and it was continuously turning. With every side that appeared to us it was a different color; blue, red, green, etc. Throughout watching it, it seemed like there was a colored glow around it and at one point there was like this burst of white dots that shot out from the right side of it in an open cone shape. I got pictures of it but it turned out like a line with bulbous sections, so I'm not sure if it was moving or if it was due to me moving.

circle cluster of bright lights change to star like cluster and disappears!

In the north sky on my drive to work after lunch I saw a circle cluster of 10 bright lights that were smaller than the larger, brighter object below the cluster. I noticed the cluster above, almost formed a star and then disappeared. I noticed the larger craft below was still there and kept looking for the smaller ones and looked back and the larger one was gone also. I watched the sky and surroundings all the way back to work to try and explain what I saw, but only blue sky and a few clouds.

I got back to work and no one believed me and thought I was crazy! I came home and my daughter believed me and found this site and all the others that have seen things in this area. I had to post my experience to share with others.

I was laying on my bed and I was watching TV then I see this really bright light in the sky, and red lights. I think it is just a plane then it is just keeps on going. Then I get up and look at it and the lights were so bright I could see the shape and it was circler and the lights were brighter then the moon, and I was thinking airplanes lights can't be that big so I got up and told my family, they thought I was kidding and made fun of me.

Surfside, Texas Oval bright white. UFO glowing with heat dispersing from object. No sound. I was awaken by an intense white beam.

On 8/24/07 at approximately 03:15 a.m. Freeport, Texas, Surfside Beach: I was, alone in my car and awaken by a bright white beam in the left and right eye’s. For 20 minutes I could not find what or who had awaken me. I lay back in the seat my eyes were still open because I was feeling a bit terrified and disorientated.

As I looked out the back passenger side window of my car, I noticed an oval object dark from the interior but bright white from the exterior that seemed to be hovering 100 ft. to my left side. The silent object was exhausting a smothering heat directly over me.

At this point, I tried to start my car and the engine failed to turn over. Anxiously I glanced back up and the object was slowly moving in a northern direction. After which, I was able to successfully start my vehicle and drove off the beach.

Upon leaving the beach my right eye was blurry and both temples were sore. It has been 2 days now and both my temples still feel sore.

Well it was about 3 a.m. and I was traveling east on highwat 20 on the east side of Freeport,Il. I am a truck driver,finished milk hauler anyway, I noticed this green circular object heading east like I was, towards chicago,Il. I found this odd because it had to come from my rear to the front.

I know this object was not a plane or a falling / shooting star.I've seen all of those numerous times. I am looking forward and driving east and it came from the west and I saw it out my right side of windshield go west to east.

It was a green circular glow going across the sky and I have never seen anything like it before.

Three lights form a triangle over Maine

I went out to have a smoke at approx. 9 PM. I noticed an orangish light moving in the direction of east relative to the moon. Thinking it was a plane but watching anyway I noticed it seemed to change direction and move back west. Still thinking it may be a plane I wondered why it would circle at that altitude and in that location, as the nearest airport is in Portland and the light appeared to be quite some distance away from Portland. I continued to observe and the object began to move in highly erratic ways, not typical of aircraft and at too high an altitude for a chopper. It would move in one direction then abruptly the opposite direction. It made short "arching" motions, "swung" back and forth, and sometimes made very short zigzagging motions. I was sitting on my porch which lies on the left side of my driveway if you're facing away from my house. The driveway is flanked on either side by trees. The starting point of my orginal sighting was behind the trees on the left side. At times the bare branches partially obscured my vision of it. It continued to "swing" back and forth in a slow, almost drunken-looking manner and at times appeared to travel in half circles (although because of my perspective they could have been full circles). At times it would appear to move toward me, appearing to rise in altitude, then it would reverse direction with no apparent turning radius and move away from me. About ten minutes into the sighting I called to ((name deleted)), a housemate and the only other occupant at home at the time, to come take a look, asking him if he saw what I saw or if I was imagining things. After observing for a couple minutes he confirmed the object did appear to be moving. I was able to call out the directions I thought it was moving in (right, now left, right again, up, left now) and he confirmed that he was seeing the same movements. The object continued to move in a general direction of east in relation to the moon until it was fully clear of the trees and instead of being on the far left of the driveway it was on the right. Most notable about the movements were that although it was hardly ever still, they seemed to have a "directionless" quality to them. At times it would zigzag in quick motions, sometimes appear to "swing" or "sway", and it reversed directions seemingly at random.

I stayed outside as long as I could. My housemate and I had moved from the porch to the driveway to get a better look, and stayed in the driveway for what might have been 15 minutes. Then we returned to the porch and David went back inside. I was absolutely frozen at this point, the temperature was about 20 degrees. I wanted to go back inside but was afraid to miss something. Back at my original position, the position I was in when the sighting began, it was notable that not only was the object not obscured by trees anymore, it had crossed the imaginary median of the driveway and was at a higher point than when it started.

Finally I absolutely could not stay outside any longer. I rushed inside and turned off the lights, hoping it would be visible from the two large windows at the front of the house. I felt pretty stupid for having sat outside for so long when I discovered it was indeed clearly visible from inside the windows. I made ((name deleted)) turn off the TV so there was no reflection on the glass to obscure vision and we watched it continue to behave in much the same erratic and meandering manner. About five minutes into observing it from inside I noticed another light, this one brighter and whitish, in relatively the same spot the first had started in. It was acting much the same way, possessing the same "zigzagging", "swinging", half circle-making traits. The first orangish light sort of seemed to calm down with the appearance of the second light, still moving but not as obviously. It seemed to settle in a basic area, northeast of the moon. At this point my mother came home and we all observed the movement. About 4 minutes after that a very bright whitish-blue "star" that had been there the whole time began to show signs of movement. We all watched as the lights eventually settled into basic areas, still moving but not meandering around anymore. They held their basic postions (the first, orangish light appearing not to move at all anymore, the second only making occasional tiny movements and the third primarily seeming to "ascend" and "descend", but also making the characteristic half-circles and zigzags) and their positions formed an isoceles triangle tipped on its side with the "point", the brightest and most recent light, pointing southeast. The first, orangish light was holding position on the northernmost tip and the second whitish one was southwest of the orange one. At one time a plane bisected the triangle horizontally and the objects did not appear to respond.

A while later I stopped observing them. I was tired and my neck hurt from looking up. I know they were present at a little past ten still. I don't know when they disappeared but by 10:30 they were gone.

Another thing to note...it was dark and cloudless but when the objects moved, especially when they moved dramtically, a cloudy or smoky haze could be seen in front of them and the light would be a little obscured. It seemed like the smoke mimicked the movements made by the light, i.e. if they moved in an upwards backward-facing "C" motion, the "smoke" would also form a backward-facing "C".

My brother(53) and I (47) had just finished dinner on our patio. We had two patriotic kites flying for the Fourth which were tied off. When looking at one of the kites my brother saw the object and asked me what I thought it was. The object looked like a planet but was almost at our zenith many tens of degrees above the ecliptic.

The object moved back and forth in an erratic manner several times. At other times it would remain in one place. The object was fairly bright and about the size of BB held at arms length.

After watching the object for few munitesI went inside to get some binoculars for a better look and upon returning my brother said the object just vanished.

yellowish green flash moved from the south east to the north in a curve followed buy a jet 5 mins later

I was looking in the sky to see if I saw any activity going on and to watch the stars in the sky. It was a pretty clear night with just maybe a little bit of haze and no sight of any air traffic in the sky. So after about a half hour saw the first flash in the south east sky it was yellowish green in color and at first I thought I had just seen a lightning bug. so I watched for it again but wasnt there 5 sec. later i seen it again this time closer to me and I could tell that it was not a lightning bug it was way way to high in the sky. It flashed two more times right after that in diffrent but close prox. from the last and when the last one flashed I saw a very dim light come from the flsah moving north until I could not see it any more. I then got my cell phone and checked the time it was 2:30 a.m. After seening that and woundering what it was I found my self glued to the sky and about 5 mins. later I see a small fast moving jet of some kind coming from the same direction as the flashes of light from the south east and heading the same course as the flashes south east to northly curve. Jet was like I said small and had a red light on the bottom with a wight strobe and near the tail end of the jet on the top a yellow strobe and a orangish glow like fighter jets have. I checke my cell phone it was 2:35 a.m.

Strange sight on Long Island...daytime

Was driving on the Loop parkway heading towards the Meadowbrook parkway when I saw an object in the NE sky flash when sunlight hit it. The gleam caught my eye and I then started to follow it. The object seemed to have sharp corners was chrome in color/reflectivity and had a tumbling motion as it headed North/Northwest from a Southeast origin. Object was moving extremely fast, too fast to be mistaken for mylar balloons. It was at a speed consistant with military jets seen at an airshow 2 weeks prior, but the shape was not an aircraft. The only way it can be described would be is that it looked like a shard of glass in its shape, tumbled like it was out of control, but never lost altitude and was moving extremely fast.

We were driving West on Southern State pkwy. a Blue-Green Sphere Shaped Object zoomed East to West across the sky

The moon was visible and sky was very hazy before we saw the object. As we drove West on Southern State Pkwy., just past Exit 22 (Meadowbrook Pkwy.), a blue-green sphere shaped object zoomed very fast across the sky from East to West. We did not have the radio on and the windows were open. There was no sound from the object. After arriving home about 20 minutes later, we noticed the clouds looked like they were cut in half with a knife and we saw a huge white streak of mist and/or exhaust going in the same direction as the object flew. the moon became very visible and we saw some stars. 5 minutes later approx 12:05am, we heard heliocopters in the distance. As the white streak dissapated, the haze and clouds covered the sky again, the stars were no longer visable and the moon was back in the haze again.

Two different reports of blinking light seen by same witness within a years time.

I was playing a game in my backyard with 2 of my friends and I saw a blinking light that caught the corner of my eye. It was just above my trees in the back of the yard. I turned to look at it and pointed it out to my friends. They saw it too. After the object blinked, it would move to a different place and blink again. We just stared in awe. We had never seen anything else like this before. This happened for about 15 seconds. Then it disappeared. We walked around the yard to see if it went anyplace else. We found no trace of it again that night. About a year later (not sure what month), I was at a friend's house (a different friend from the other ones). She lives just out of town by a lake. I was staying the night at her house that night. She was in her room for a little bit while I was laying on the couch in the living room. It was about 12:30 AM. I looked out the window to the other side of the road that's by her house. I saw the same blinking light that I had seen about a year before. It was right in front of the trees across the street. I would say it was about eight or so feet above the ground. It kept flashing its light while appearing in different places. It disappeared after about ten seconds. I was so scared I closed my eyes for a couple of seconds. Then I finally had enough courage to open my eyes again. I looked back across the street and the same thing happened over again! It then disappeared again a short time later, and that was the last time I saw it. I was the only witness to see this sighting.

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Huge, black,silent, triangular craft seen moving low over house with 2 witnesses present. What was this thing?

My husband (fiance at the time) and I were standing out in front of my parent's house in the driveway, kissing goodnight. The moon was bright when we started our goodnight kiss, but within seconds it appeared to suddenly became very dark, and very quiet. It was as if we were standing in an absence of sound.

We stopped kissing and looked up into the sky, and moving directly over my parent's house was a HUGE black triangular craft. It was absolutely silent, except for a slight hissing of moving air. The craft could not have been more than 100-200 yards over the house, so we got a fantastic look at the underside of the object. There were dim lights on the underside, and on the back of the object as it moved away from us over the rest of the neighborhood at a VERY VERY slow speed. We just stood there in complete silence watching this thing move away until we could not see the object any longer.

Once the object passed, we could see the moon again, and normal night sounds filled the area. Both of us, looked at each other, quickly said goodnight, and I ran into the house. He quickly got into his car and drove to his home. I was pretty freaked out by what we saw, and looked for an explanation in the paper the next day, but there was nothing reported.

We are not located near an airforce base, nor have any military maneuvers run over our city that I am aware of.

This object was so low to the ground, it was as if we were looking up at the underside of a Star Wars model. The object was moving from the West to the South East through the night sky.

I told my folks the next morning, but they shrugged it off as something military. Was this a UFO, or could it have been a secret military craft? We have not spoken about this to many folks for fear they would think we were nuts.

We didn't realize that there was a place to report such sightings, or we would have reported this when it happened.

Bright triangular object, slow speed and low sound, spotlight appeared on our group, 4 other objects seen on horizon.

I had been recently thinking more than usual about an event that I and 4 others witnessed as teenagers, May 3rd 1997 in Freeport, IL and for whatever reason I decided to research it tonight. I found these reports for the same incident that took place at the same time,witnessed by others in the area. I could not believe this when I found that the incident I had been replaying in my mind for 15 years was not only witnessed by others by sounded almost exactly the same.

I was walking with a group of 5 friends and noticed a bright, primarily white light in the North Eastern sky. I pointed to the object and the others believed it to be a star. The bright light kept getting bigger and soon was accompanied by a low wurring sound much like a blimp. Soon the object was about 20-30 feet above us moving at an amazingly slow speed.

What happened next is not a hoax or a prank. A bright light from what appeared to be some type of spotlight came on and when it came on it was immediately focusing on one of my friends. It did not search around until it found something like you would expect from a normal "spotlight," it literally turned on and was shining on him at the exact same moment.

I turned around and began to run back up the lane and briefly turned to watch my friend dive behind a pile of gravel. The object continued to move slowly North East over my farmland property on the outskirts of Freeport. We reassembled and did not know what had just happened. We looked out onto the horizon and saw 4-5 other lights that looked identical to the object we had first observed when we thought it was a star and each of these objects were traveling in other directions. -Thanks

Rocket-shaped object emitting sparks, making a sputtering noise and moving at 10-15 mph past the observer within 25' to 30'.

My one and only UFO sighting took place in Freeport, NY, on a mid-week evening around 7:15 in February of 1953, 1954 or 1955. I was 10, 11 or 12 at the time. It has been so long ago that I’ve forgotten some of the exact details. Arbitrarily, I’ll say it was Wednesday, February 10, 1954, but it could have been a Thursday night or a Wednesday or Thursday during the following week or one year on either side. I was alone walking south on Pennsylvania Ave. on my way to our church for choir practice. It was a pleasant February evening - seasonally cold in the high 20s to mid-30s with no wind.

As I was about to step off the curb and cross Lena Ave., I noticed a light, some distance down the street to my left. It was about 800’ east near where Lena takes a dogleg to the left. The object seemed to be spewing a profusion of yellow-white sparks. Two brothers around my age lived in a house on Lena just beyond my line of sight. I quickly concluded that it was probably they who had just set off a rocket aimed straight down the street toward me. I stopped and waited for it to approach.

At roughly 120’ from me, it became clear that it was not a common firework. The object was a grey metallic rocket-shaped object about 6’ to 8’ long, 4” to 8” in diameter. It had what seemed like small guidance fins at the rear, proportionally similar to the Redstone rocket of the day but possibly less pronounced. A profusion of yellow-white sparks continued to issue from the object but the exhaust was not a focused blast like a rocket motor. It most closely resembled the crude special effects of the lazy exhaust emitting from the fictional fleet flown by the forces of ‘Ming the Merciless’ in the 1940s Flash Gordon movie serials. It was not silent. The exhaust made a moderately loud sputtering sound at it passed. This object was moving too slow – about 10-15 mph – to sustain flight.

It flew directly down the middle of street about 20’-25’ above the roadway. It continued west past me, maintaining the same altitude and heading. It passed closest to me at a distance I estimate at 25’ to 30’. About 400’ west of Pennsylvania Ave., Lena Ave. begins to a long dip. Rather than continue straight ahead on the same trajectory, one which I could have monitored for at least a half mile further, the object paralleled the curve of the road until it was out of sight at about 500’ to 600’ from where I stood.

During this event, there were no vehicles moving along Pennsylvania and Lena in either direction. After the object passed out of sight, I noticed a middle age woman walking south on the opposite side of Pennsylvania about a half block from Lena. I called out to her asking if she had seen anything just then. I don’t recall whether she responded to my question or just ignored me, but in any event she didn’t confirm my sighting.
