A person on our local community page posted about seeing a UAP, so I went out to see if I could spot anything. South of Venus, and below Jupiter I saw a pulsating orb of lights in between the branches of a tree. When I zoomed in with my camera I could see that it was rotating. It was bright, brighter than 0 mag. I could not tell distance or size. I got a decent 18 second video before it started moving to the Southeast. Husband and I hopped in our car to see of we could get a better view. We were at a red light and watched the UAP speed up slightly, turn 90 deg and head due north. We the lost sight or it behind the trees and buildings at that point.

High altitude stationary object reflecting sunlight every few seconds.

During a large soccer tournament. I arrived to give my family lunch and saw three people staring at the sky. They said that before I arrived at the field, the object moved extremely fast from Northeast to the west and then returned to its original location. I thought it was a joke, but after staring I saw the glint of sunlight reflecting off the object. There were planes flying routes below and around the object, and non reflected light in the manner that this object did. It stayed stationary for some time, reflecting the sunlight every few seconds.

Diamond craft sighting

Was pointing out the constellations to my granddaughter when we noticed a craft come from behind the treeline. Thought it was a plane at first until it shot upwards leaving a small noctilucent trail positioning itself between Sagittarius and Scorpio. (NOTE..It wasn't Antares, that was already behind the treees from our LOS). I grabbed my phone to get a picture, but every time I tried to zoom in it moved. We all tried but weren't successful so we just watched. I grabbed my binoculars and that's when I noticed the diamond shape. It was spinning and giving off red, green, and white light. After about 10 minutes it faded out and was gone. This is the 5th time in 5 years that I've seen this type of craft.

I saw a bright orange light in a circle shape. It changed in color to a bright red. I tried to capture image on my cell but it did not.

Bright red circle did not show on my cell phone images only visually. On my cell camera images appeared as a white very small circle as if the moon had shrunk to a smaller size. When I looked at the cell camera images I could see a bright red ring around white circle. ALSO a red line appeared through the white circle. As it got to a deeper brighter red IT just VANISHED.

I was having a fire for my kids and other kids in the neighborhood when I looked up and saw 4 moving stars horizontally in a line. The top one would vanish and a new one appeared at the bottom. Then there were 2 and then they dissapeared. I said look, do you guys see that. They did. All of us saw it. I yelled for my brother to come look, at that time my daughter grabbed my phone and shot the video. Only 2 lights are visible during the time we finally took the video

UFO SIGHTING 12:10 AM JULY 10TH NEAR ETERNAL FLAME FALLS.

I observed a strange vehicle flying around 1000-2000 feet. It flew away from me towards the northeast, but the lights it flashed pointed towards me. The lights resembled car headlights flashing its high beams. I have it on video, why would its lights flash at me, if it were flying away? <https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f47d.png>

Location: Hamburg, AR, USA

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

Silent, dimly lit lights forming the shape of some type of aircraft, moving relatively fast across the night sky.

I walked outside about midnight and casually looked up in the sky. At that exact moment I saw what appeared to be an aircraft with no sound and no lights moving west to east. It’s terribly hard to explain exactly what it looked like, but the best description I can come up with is that it resembled a sting ray. It seemed low in the sky considering the amount of area it took up, but was completely silent and looked almost as if it had really dim lights illuminating the shape of the craft. It moved faster than a airplane, but slower than a shooting star. I called my 13 yr old son outside to tell him what I saw, and we then observed 10-12 more over the next hour and a half. They all moved about the same speed, but came from different directions and different altitudes. The weirdest thing was that they seem to appear directly after we would see a volley of shooting stars. My son said they looked like 4 stars moving together across the sky. The kicker is that they weren’t illuminated, but they seemed to be either reflecting light or they were glowing very faintly. Very strange.

I- along with another witness, noticed a fast moving sphere glowing white. The sphere was heading north towards the lake. We then noticed other spherical objects forming in a triangular formation behind the illuminated object. These other spheres were not illuminated but had a shiny aluminum appearance. In total, we were witnessing 12-15 objects all flying quickly and silently in an organized formation. Suddenly the non-illuminated objects became bright with white light just like the first sphere "leading the pack." The objects flew above us at low altitude, certainly in our atmosphere/airspace. The objects moved faster than anything I have ever seen before. After about 30 seconds, the objects turned off their lights and disappeared. No silhouette or any trace of them. The night sky was very clear- 10% cloud cover. We watched numerous planes, satellites, shooting stars, etc. These unidentified objects were very eye catching and hard to ignore. Cert!ainly an aircraft of some sort.

An unusual Christmas Day present!

I looked out my back door window on a sunny day to watch a bird on my porch and I saw a bright, shiny ball of light rising up in the sky above the trees. I didn't know what it was and continued to watch it make a sharp left turn, then it made a sharp right turn, like a zigzag, and then it shot straight up into the sky and disappeared!

Huge triangle craft over Lake Erie.

A friend arrived to drop off some donations to add to what was already in my truck so I could drop them off, while loading the items, I caught an odd reflection in the trucks side mirror that prompted me to look up, I observed a stationary triangle in the sky about 45 degrees from the horizon in a westerly direction from where we were standing, I told my friend to look at it as I retrieved my binoculars from the truck, we both got a good look at it and observed red, orange, blue and green lights that flashed around the perimeter of the craft, from where we were standing I would estimate it was over Lake Erie and about three times the size of jet aircraft I regularly see on approach to Buffalo airport but outside of their approach paths. As we were looking at it and debating as to getting out my telescope,it started to glow orange and disappeared from sight, I believe it just shot straight up but it happened in less than a blink of an eye.

We cannot be the only ones that saw this thing as it was a beautiful warm clear night, especially for October.

Red light sitting still then changing direction and color.

I had a clear view of a firework show that was a distance away. I noticed a solid red light sitting still above the mountain to the left of the fireworks. Living in an area surrounded by mountains, I just assumed the red light was an airplane signal tower and thought nothing of it.

As soon as the fireworks ended the red light started travelling in a straight line to the right at a pretty fast speed. Another firework then went off and without stopping or slowing down, the red light changed directions and moved to the left. The light then slowly changed to a bright green then back to red before disappearing. It seemed to be watching the firework show.

Saw a bright, blinking light that I figured was Sirius, since it was in the same direction that the star would be. Glanced away, and it dimmed. Figured it was from the clouds. It came back in full brightness, dimmed again and moved towards the northeast. The light stopped blinking and went to a white light, went up a bit then disappeared. Another bright light appeared to the bottom left of the first light. It flew up, then dimmed out. Weather was partly cloudy and humid.

UFO seen over Hamburg NY 5/30/2015 at 9:10pm

Large black saucer shaped object moving very slow from north to slow, flying extremely slow. Silent and flying very low. Smooth could see no distinctive features. White streaks were seen in a straight line coming out the side of the craft. The craft followed the direction of the streaks. Was traveling from west to east and about the time it was to the treeline from my view it turned south. It almost appeared to be a very large balloon by the way it was traveling. Smaller than a blimp but much larger than a hot air balloon. Realized it wasn't a balloon when it emitted what looked like a white streak from its side and moved in the direction of the streaks projection. If it was a type of thruster it should have went the opposite direction of the streak but it precisely turned and followed the direction of the streak almost instantly. We have never seen anything like in our lives and I am very skeptical of the ufo topic. I have no Idea what this craft could have ! been and I'm still in amazement as to what we saw. Hoping others have seen it and maybe took video. Would love to see this on the local news and get some kind of explanation as to what it was or if its truly something unknown.

Reviewing stars used for surveying when two extremely bright lights suddenly appeared very hight directly above us. They were not moving, so satelites were ruled out. The lights were more than ten times brighter than any star visible and were almost like two miniature suns.

The time to going out of sight was only a few seconds, but the light seemed to remain as bright till they disappeared.

3 steady white lights with flashing red and green lights over Berks County, Pa.

The night of June 27th, 2012 at around 10:45 P.M. I went outside for a cigarette and to watch the stars as I do several times every night when I spotted what I thought was a plane. I was facing west and this thing was hovering about 35 to 40 degrees off the horizon and seemed closer than an aircraft should be (maybe about a quarter mile away if not closer). But, the more I stared at it I noticed that it had 3 horizontal white lights in a straight line with red and green lights underneath flashing at a very fast rate. The 3 white lights did not blink and I could see them lit the entire time and remained in a straight line. The object was moving slowly but strangely.

I went inside to grab my binoculars and came back out and the object was still hovering in about the same spot but, doing a circular motion and moving up and down and sideways. I focused the binoculars on it and played with the zoom in and out trying to get a clear look when I noticed the 3 white lights started to turn vertically and then kept turning until it did a 360 degree turn. This is when I went inside and told my husband to come outside. He tried using the binoculars and even went inside to get his hunting spotting scope but could not get a perfect view of it since we have a light on a pole close to our deck which makes it harder to see the sky. He still thought it was a strange sight and not a plane. I had a better view of it since I was a little further away from that pole lamp. We watched it for several minutes before it finally took off slowly and finally went behind a tree where we could still see some white lights through the leaves before it finally d! isappeared from our view.

The whole episode must have lasted about 10 minutes and I could never get a clear view of the body of the object because the green and red lights were flashing so bright and fast (and I was shaking a bit) but it seemed to have a dark (maybe black, gray or silver) body. I could not tell the shape of the body but if I had to guess it appeared to be cigar or disc shape. I have never seen anything like this in my entire life. Every night I watch the planes, stars, planets, satellites and occasionally shooting stars in the sky and am very familiar with objects in the night sky but this was a new experience for me. It was both exciting and a bit scary.

Bright light drops from the sky and crosses over the Thruway in Hamburg, NY.

While driving to work in the morning at approximately 6:40 AM on 02/06/12 on the NYS Thruway (eastbound) just west of exit 56, I noticed a bright white light off to my left side (west over Lake Erie). The light appeared to be very fast moving and also appeared to be dropping down in altitude. I assumed it was an aircraft headed for Buffalo-Niagara Intl Airport. However, I then realized that it was moving too fast and in a more easterly direction and could not be headed for the airport. It appeared to be headed for the ground in the near vacinity. It passed directly in front of me as I was passing the Home Depot which is off to the right side when eastbound on the Thruway. It was an extremely bright light and made no sound that I heard.

I watched it pass by and go off toward the McKinley Mall. It appeared to pass over the mall and disappeared from sight. I assumed that it must have been a meteor, but I can not confirm that. Maybe something else????

Extremely bright twin lights in night sky - moved off in unison.

Looking into the night sky, two extreemly bright lights, like mini suns, were observed. We discussed what they could be - they remained motionless, as stars, but many times brighter. After approximately five minutes they rapidly moved upwards until they were not visible any more. The other witness is a retired Civil Engeer who had claimed he'd never seen anything in his lifetime that he could not explain. He had no explanation then, nor to date, and we have discussed it a several times..

These lights we are bright as little mini suns and were perhaps about 10 times larger in appearance to the largest stars in the sky.

Bun shaped object hovering over parking lot and then darting back and forth at high speed.

Sat down to eat dinner with my family, and noticed, my daughter and I, started watching a huge bun shaped object hovering over the parking lot. The place was packed with people and the parking lot full of cars. I have to say this was strange for day light hours with so many other people around.

I was not looking for anything like this but watched it in amazement and to see it up close within 200 feet. It went from a shiny metallic when it first came down just feet away from the cars parked in the lot... to all black when it started to shifting back and forth over the parking lot at an incredible rate of speed... it started spinning and had white lights along the base between each of the crease on the bottom. It traveled so fast that it seemed to morph or stretch when it moved.

I really jumped and stud up when I first seen it when it started to dash back and forth over the parking lot. Would have been hard to see if your eyes were not already fixed on it. My daughter said it was a flying bowl and she said that this object did not want to be seen because of how it darted back and forth. It finally darted over us were we were sitting out of sight. It was a couple of weeks ago.. I think it is weird and my 13 year old daughter is not afraid, and said it was just space people? My feeling is that whatever I seen is still there... top of the buildings.

This was a large craft all black.

My daughter and I sat down at Applebees in Hamburg when we both seen looking outside the window over the parking lot a large "muffen" shaped craft about 20 feet above the parking lot. The bottom of the craft opened and it look liked a bowl upside down. It had a slow counterclockwise spin. The bottom of the craft was grooved with white lights between each groove. It moved back and forth over the parking lot that was full of cars. It darted back and forth as it ascended upwards. I would call it a darting movement that was hard to watch as it moved. It was about 100 feet across and 50 feet tall. It then stopped again for a few seconds and came closer towards us and then darted over Applebees where we could not see it any longer. It was seen about 500 feet from us to about 200 feet when it moved over Applebees. There were people in the parkin lot looking up. I do not wish to give contact information for safety.

Two bright white lights, one following the other, seen in night sky for about a minute.

Two bright white lights (at least as bright as Venus) were noted immediately in the north sky, over his house, by the first witness when he went out to walk the dog. Initially the bright lights were the same size and brightness. One light followed the other in a fairly straight line to the right.

The first witness called his wife outside and she saw the two bright lights, one still following the other to the right. By the time the second witness saw the lights, the left light, following the other one, had faded in brightness, but the leading light was still bright. The left light faded away gradually, then the right light, still bright, faded away fairly suddenly.

The first witness said that the entire episode lasted 45 seconds to one minute. The second witness saw the final fifteen to twenty seconds of the episode.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 76727
Occurred: 2009-07-22 02:40 Local
Reported: 2010-07-22 19:57 Pacific
Duration: 2 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Hamburg, MI, USA

Shape: Other
Characteristics: Lights on object, Landed, Electrical or magnetic effects

Single Electric Blue gumdrop shaped object appeared with a flash and appeared to land.

This report is to document a sighting of an unidentifiable object in the sky that was witnessed by myself.

I have a part time job delivering the AnnArbor.com newspaper on Thursday and Sunday Mornings. I typically start delivering my papers at around 2:00 am. I have ~150 customers and I have a very set routine of delivering my route.

On the Morning of July 22, 2010, at exactly 2:40am (I just remembered that I called my wife when this event happened and I verified the time when I called her). I called my wife at 2:42 am and told her about what I saw and that I was coming home because I was too freaked out to continue delivering my papers.

There is a street called Louis Lane in Hamburg, MI. It is a residential street in a generally rural area and the street is probably ½ to ¾ mile long and is in the shape of a horseshoe. The street is along the north side of the main road (Strawberry Lake Road). Imagine breaking the horseshoe shaped street into two parts, the eastern half of the street and the western half of the street. I always begin delivering papers on this street on the eastern portion of the horseshoe and am facing north when I pull into this street.

I pulled into a customer’s driveway, threw the paper up by the garage, and reversed out of the driveway to continue on my way. When I began to proceed, I saw a flash of blueish light (like lightning) along the northern horizon.

I looked out my windshield to see if a storm was maybe on its way, but it was one of the clearest nights this summer. However, at that moment a second flash was closer and brighter and my NPR radio station cut to static for may! be 5 seconds.

This was really creepy, but I continued on my way. At this point I was rounding the top of the Horseshoe and was facing west, I looked out my driver side window which was facing to the south and that is when I saw what really made me think about it being a "U.F.O." The object that I witnessed was about 20 degrees off of the southern horizon, just above a line of trees.

The object was less than 100’ in the air, it was glowing electric blue in color, it was approximately the size of a quarter and was definitely close, I’d say within a ¼ mile distance. The object moved westward while it descended behind the trees and appeared to land.

As I watched the object disappear behind the trees, I continued to drive slowly and was now facing south and was now on the western portion of Louis Lane. I put my car in park and turned off my lights and continued to look south towards where I saw the object disappear. I stayed for maybe a minute and witnessed some intermittent blue colored flashing coming from the direction of the object.

I called my wife at exactly 2:42 am and told her what I just saw. I told her that I didn’t want to finish my route at night and was going to wait until day to finish. I was pretty scared, so I got out of the neighborhood, and drove east at 75 mph down Strawberry Lake Road, until I got into town.

I stopped at the Hamburg Township Police department and seriously considered walking in to report what I saw, but I didn’t. In Hamburg, MI, there is a 24-hour ((deleted)) gas station that I always stop at before I start my route. I always ((speak)) with the guy who works midnights, his name is ((name deleted)).

On my way back home, I stopped to tell ((name deleted)) what I saw. ((name deleted)) was in some disbelief, but he said that it was kind of strange because there was a very brief loss of electricity at the gas station at around the same time that I told him what I saw.

((name deleted)) said that it could be the Police helicopters, because they look for people growing marijuana at night. I expressed that I didn’t think it was a helicopter, because the whole thing was glowing electric blue.

I then drove the 10 miles back to my house, eventually went to sleep and finished delivering my papers when it was light outside.

I am a ((deleted)) student and attend ((deleted)) school in Ann Arbor, MI. I told a few students what had happened earlier that morning, and two of my classmates, said that they were up late and also experienced the brief power outage at around the same time. However, these guys live in the city of Ann Arbor, and I was nearly 15 miles north of the City of Ann Arbor when this happened.

The event that I witnessed was very brief and I left before I could see anything else happen. Just thinking about this event still makes my skin crawl. I used to prefer delivering my papers when its dark, but I seriously don’t think I’m ever going to start my route until the sun comes up.




NUFORC Note:

We spoke via telephone with this witness, and he seemed to us to be sober-minded and credible. We also received a telephone call from a woman in Harper Woods (Detroit) about what sounds to be the same event, but we have not received a follow-up written report from her. PD

Bright Orange Light approached then faded. Three times this object appeared, dissapeeared and reappeared

Was on the boat with my dog. I pulled up to a neighbor boat. After floating for only a minute we both observed an orange light that was very bright. It just appeared out of no where. We both shut off our radios and motors and could not hear any noise from an engine. This orange light approached us and appeared to be only 500 ft away. It then began to move east towards Metro airport. Just after the light faded. It instantly re-apperared in the same spot it was first seen. This happened three times and did the same flight pattern as the first. This is the second time that I has witnessed such an occurence on the same lake.

Shape: Light


I saw a bright light in the sky (similar to Venus, but opposite Venus ), then it dimmed to a tiny dot and dissappeared.

I was driving East just as it was getting dark. I noticed (what I believe are) Jupiter and Saturn in front of me. Then I noticed a very bright light just to the right (South) of the planets. It was about the brightness of Venus, but it was not Venus. My first thought was that it was a plane but as I continued to watch it I noticed that it did not move or blink at all. I commented to my daughters that it must, then, be a planet and I was amazed that either Mars or Mercury would be so bright. As I was watching the light it dimmed to a tiny dot (without moving from it's position) and dissappeared. There were virtually no clouds in the sky at this time.

GLOWING OBJECT HOVERING ABOVE THE TREELINE AND HOUSES

I AWOKE AT 4:30 AM AND LOOKED OUT MY UPSTAIRS WINDOW AND SAW AN UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT THAT WAS JUST ABOVE THE TREE TOPS. IT WAS A GLOWING LUMINESCENT THAT WAS SAUCER SHAPE AND HAD A DOME.

I WENT TO CHECK ON MY SON IN ANOTHER ROOM AND THEN CAME BACK TO THE WINDOW WHERE I HAD INITIALLY HAD SEEN THE UFO, AND IT WAS GONE.

IT HAD NOT OCCURED TO ME AT FIRST THAT IT WAS A UFO BECAUSE IT WAS RIGHT ABOVE THE TREE TOPS.

I'VE BEEN A STAR TREK FAN FOR YEARS BUT NEVER ACTUALLY BELIEVED IN UFO'S UNTIL I SAW THIS ONE IN THE LATTER PART OF APRIL, 1992.

Triangular UFO sends probes into Lake Erie

My friend and I observed a triangular craft flying over the eastern end of Lake Erie near Buffalo, NY for several evenings during the summer of 1980. On the last night we observed it little probes came out of the bottom of the craft and under the surface of the lake. They flew underwater in all directions, going up to the craft, and back down to the water again. I was never so scared in all my life! We even went to another beach a mile away and observed them there as well. My friend was more daring than me so she went for a closer look at the probes. She stated there were little "creatures" inside controling them! I had friends who reported UFOs over Lake Erie to me before so after this I believed them...

Observed bright white sphere hovering over vehicle

I was 17 and riding in the car with my parents. They were driving me to an extracurricular evening activity. While going down Route 5 we observed a huge bright white sphere that appeared to hover silently in front of our vehicle. It appeared to be very, very close. I remebered being very frightened.

The light vanished as suddenly as it appeared. When we arrived at our destination (Nike base in Hamburg, NY) another person attending the activity had witnessed this spherical ball also. We looked out of a window facing Northeast and saw the light again... it was moving erractically and then disappeared.

orange glowing orb with 2 beings in craft low flightpath 40-60 feet above me

I was 11 years old at the time and while I have reported this before, I feel it deserves more attention.

It was in April 1970 and I was 11 at the time. It was a warm clear spring night, time was around 19:00. I lived in Hamburg, NY, a suburb of Buffalo, NY.

I was outside, shooting baskets at the hoop mounted to our garage (10ft). Facing the basket to my right stood a cherry tree approximately 12-15 feet tall. Our property in the back was 250 feet from the street behind us. That street was lined with Maple trees, approximately 40-60 ft. tall.

I was shooting basketball, as I stated earlier, when I noticed an orange colored light in the distance above the tree line. The houses on my street were pretty much out in front allowing a backyards view of anything in the sky.

I thought, “That’s not a plane or a helicopter, it’s too low.” The dot I was observing was about a ¼ inch big and about a mile away. It was now I could see it was getting larger and still no noise was heard. I then thought “it’s not a plane, or a helicopter, I don’t hear anything.

Within seconds It got to be about 3” ball of orange light and I could tell it was just above the tree line. Now within a half mile it became obvious it was a UFO. Within seconds the ball of light was almost above me and was approximately 30ft wide. My jaw dropped as it came apparent as it was within 500 feet that two individuals were in the craft, they were silhouetted by the cabin orange glow of the craft. Both were humanoid, one was sitting down and the other standing up. The heads were bulbish as in wearing helmets and not the grey type heads as reported today.

I yelled to my sister to come out of the garage but as in this took place a couple seconds it was gone. I could not view it after about 200 feet past me as a house and trees on the corner blocked me.
