We were looking at a star formation and I wanted a photo and that appeared when I took photos.

The craft appeared hazy like in upper right and then left hand corner.
The two ships seemed to follow it from right to left and look as though there are entering back into the craft on the last picture.

Shape: Cylinder


Craft hovered to examine us then sped off at super-warp speed

We were hiking and paused to take a Live Photo when the black cylindrical craft with two wings and a pink top paused also. Possibly to examine us. It was not a bird or drone. It departed by flying between us and zoomed off. Since we were taking a Live Photo on an iPhone 10, we recorded three seconds and the flight path is seen on the photo. A few minutes before our sighting, I had commented that I was passing through warmer areas and found that unexpected. We would like to share the brief video.

The photographer is a retired attorney. The subject in the photo is a retired algebra teacher. Neither of us have seen a UFO before.

Massive triangle shaped object flew over head for a few seconds and disappeared

10 pm Saturday evening. My spouse and I were driving home from dinner. We were looking forward on the road talking. As we all of sudden see a massive wingspan, lit with 2 lights. It flew over top of us , almost like it was following us, and the lights disappeared. Happened super fast but we are very very sure of what we saw. There is no way a plane could have been flying that low, because of local mountains. We tried to debunk it for 10 mins until we got home. Absolutely breath taking event.

Multiple balls of color changing lights appeared over Blackhawk lake around 1:30 am. It started as 2 balls hovering over an area in front of cabin 2. The lights appeared to be circling each other then would break into multiple smaller colored orbs. It appeared to shine a light into the woods on the south west side of the lake and then down in the water. It was silent. It appeared to go in and out of the water but didnt cause a ripple. I walked down by the lake to be sure it wasn't a drone or something. It came towards me and stopped half way to me and appeared to become agitated. It began heading north across the lake very quickly. I lost sight of it and headed back up to the campsite. In the sky we then saw countless crafts in the sky mainly gravitating towards one very large orange light that was darting around in the southern sky in the same general area. There was another larger craft in the northern sky that was a completely different shape that was! also moving erratically in the same area. This when to nor an hour or so and around 3:30 the began moving farther away and the lights slowly faded out. Our dog was freaking out and acting like we've never seen. It was completely silent the whole time. The water developed a weird ripple to the east of the water event with a heavy fog.

Orange/red glowing lights following the same path and disappearing in the same location in the sky

I was outside of my cousin's home waiting for him to come back out when I saw two orange/red lights coming up over a mountain in the distance. I watched them until they disappeared, thinking they were possibly lanterns someone let go I thought nothing of it. I started to turn away when I saw two more come over the mountain again. I grabbed my phone and began to record. These objects went in the same pattern as the previous two and disappeared in the exact same location. My cousin came out and began watching them with me. Two more appeared and did the exact same thing, then two more. His wife called him and we began explaining to her what we were seeing.

She looked up from her location, which was closer to the area in which they were coming from and saw the same thing. She said there wasn't any noise but she was quick to pass them off as helicopters or drones until she saw more coming over the mountain and began to really watch them.

Not one of us heard any noise coming from these objects, they were not blinking, they all followed the same path and disappeared in the same location in the sky.

I have one previous experience when I was around 8 years of age and I was with my father and brother. These looked different from the one we had seen then but it too was in Highland. That one was the most interesting thing I had ever seen. It bounced all over the sky, continually changed color and when it finally disappeared after 10-15 minutes of watching it, it "exploded" into every color of the rainbow.

I thought twice before posting this but as I am watching "Unidentified," the videos they are showing right now are of the same objects that my cousin and I saw that night and it gave me more confidence to come forward. I have a 6 minute long video of what we experienced and viewed that evening. I am definitely looking up at the sky more frequently now!

Bright object was seen that flew at an incredible speed and pulsed in and out of view unlike anything I have seen before.

While looking at the International Space Station Fly directly overhead I saw a bright object that looked to be in pursuit of the Station; it flew past the station at incredible speed while pulsing and beaming off light before going dark. When ever it past the station it pulsed one last time and then disappeared. It pulsed about four times and this took place at 5:40 central time in the USA over Illinois.

I witnessed a triangular shaped air craft with 4 lights flying at low altitude with no noise and at slow stall speeds

I work as a night shift security guard. As I was opening the gates to the parking lots I noticed a bright light in the east. In that general direction there is a hospital with a helicopter pad and I could hear helicopter noise so I assumed it was that. The light seemed very bright so I continued to watch it for a minute or two. At that point the helicopter at the hospital took off and broke the tree line. So I know it was not a helicopter at that point. After the noise drowned off the light continued to just sit in its position and I began walking towards the guard shack to get my phone. As I started to move I could see the one light starting to break in 4 lights. It wasn’t until it was extremely close that I realized it was a shape of a black triangle. With one light at the point, one light in the back middle, and one light left and right from the back middle light in each direction. It was roughly 2000’ off the ground (I used an altitude comparison sheet I! found online because it was very low to make absolutely 0 noise.). It was also going rough 100 mph, I state that liberally because I feel if you could drive a car in a straight line next to it you could easily keep up at 60-70 mph. It had no blinking marker lights to indicate wings or a tail. It did had a singular strobing light underneath that was only visible when it was directly over head. In 2000 there was a black triangle sighting in this town that was chased by three different police departments towards saint Louis, MO before they lost sight of it. There is also an Air Force base within 30 miles from where I worked so I thought maybe it was a plane heading there which might explain the no markers, but I don’t think it would explain the lack of sound and very slow speeds.. it was coming from the east moving west, slightly north away from the Air Force base as it left my sight of view

My rommate and I saw the obect from our patio move across the sky at a relatively slow rate. Slower than a small single engine plane would. The lights at the back of the object blinked in a strange fashion. About 5 lights would blink at different intervals and then they would all go black. They would turn off for about 2 seconds and then continue on in the same strange blinking pattern. The lights were rectangular and orientes vertically. It moved from the west towards the southeast in a straight line. No sound could be heard coming from it. It was difficult to make out the exact shape of it.

Object with vertical lighted panels.

Witness was at home and his roommate called to him to come outside onto the balcony to see something in the night sky at about 10:50 pm central standard time. The sky was clear but it was especially dark because it was a waxing crescent moon with 21% visibility that evening. They thought it was a plane at first but it was flying relatively low and they were were unable to make out a shape of the object which was strange because there were commercial and small engine airplanes flying this evening at varying altitudes and they could make out the shape of the planes even though it was dark. This thing had about 5 rectangular white lights oriented vertically across the back of it. The lights pulsated and flashed in a staggered order and then they would go completely dark for about one or two seconds and continue flashing again in rapid succession. They were not able to hear any sound coming from it nor were they able to see any kind of exhaust trail coming from! it. It moved from west to east in a straight line and they observed it facing south. It moved slower than a single engine plane would which made it stand out even more. They thought it might be a drone but it was unlike any drone they'd ever seen before. They followed its trajectory which was viewed above a tree line for about the next 4 minutes until it was no longer visible behind the tree line. Witness included digital photos / screen grabs from video (a couple are zoomed in and cropped) and video that are relatively bad quality because of how dark it was but it highlights well what they saw.

I witnessed an orange/white dot in the sky... it was creating a fan shaped area of light around it as if it were traveling faster than it.

It would slow and speed it up- when slowing, the fan shape would become taller from top to bottom above and below the light. When it would accelerate, the fan shape would compress and seem seem to trail longer behind the light instead of taller...

I pointed it out to my neighbor and he also saw it. He immediately called it a Strange Occurance…

Walked out the door at approximately 8:52 p.m. to take a look at the last bit of the sunset on the west side of my house.

Noticed a lot of lights in the sky and thought, boy, there's a lot of airplanes out tonight. There were airplanes, but I saw a faint blue light moving at high speed underneath the clouds. I looked around and saw few faint blue lights and wondered if they were connected as one large craft, because they were separated by quite a distance. The distance of separation would have been at arm's length, if you held your hand out, arm stretched, in front of your face.

At first I thought they were in trying other patterns, because there was three of them I saw period, but then I realized they were separate. I looked around and there were a whole bunch all around the entire sky all headed due north over Lone Peak mountain. Each one was a faint small blue looking light moving at high speed coming much faster than an airplane moves.

They could have been military drones but they were moving so fast, and it was clear their agenda was to travel due north at a very high speed.

There was a whole swarm of them that travel from as far as the eye could see from the south end of American Fork City, over Highland City, and then over Alpine City and over the Lone Peak mountain.

I walked outside as the last of them we're traveling from the south end of American Fork Andover Lone Peak mountain. I probably conservatively counted 20 to 25 of them. But I think there was a lot more! I've never seen so many objects in the sky at once traveling so quickly and One Direction. They were a very faint dim blue color, they weren't too difficult to see but the color of the sky, clouds and sunset made it more difficult to see them and they seem to blend in more.

There were low-lying clouds and they were below the clouds and traveling up and through the clouds, and disappeared out of sight as they flew over Lone Peak Mountain headed north.

Their blue light was constant and was not blinking.

The color of blue was a very faint navy blue. They appeared like small craft, and seem to all be moving in a swarm, separated by the aforementioned distance when your hand was outstretched towards the sky.

The strange thing was is that it was very windy outside, they did not seem to be affected by the weather or wind at all, especially given how small they appeared to be? I had my cell phone camera with me, but realized that it would be pointless to try to take a photo because they were so faint against the sky and would likely not show up. So I didn't bother.

We noticed the bigger light about 3 miles away from the freeway. After stopping for gas, we saw that it was still in the same spot, and was hovering motionless. Traffic on the freeway slowed to a crawl, hence the many witnesses. Some people had even pulled to the shoulder, and had stepped out of their vehicles to capture the lights on video.

There was a second, reddish light that exhibited motion as it floated towards the freeway behind us. It was all very surreal, and it haunts me to this day.

Bright light with a arch like U red lights make square in back.

I saw a bright light out of the norm south southeast and seemed to be still. Then it started flying north west which is a flight pattern I have not seen a plane fly near my house before.

The front of the craft was like a bright white light that was extremely bright in the very center and the light seemed to tail off to make a arch like shape pretty much like a U pattern but a side ways U which meant the bottom of the U would be to the left or facing North.

After the sideways U in front there was another set of white lights in the shape of a cross starting with the front light of the craft and going towards the back of the craft.

Besides the U in front and the cross there were also a bunch of extremely fast and random and the blinking lights seemed to be blue in color and then there was 4 or 5 red lights in the back in the shape of a circle or square.

Glowing object dropping embers over San Bernardino

It began as a glowing object in the sky moving from the west to the east. Embers started to drop as it moved. The glowing started to flicker then went out. After the light went out we could see that it was triangular in shape and rotating as it moved until we could not see it anymore. This is the second time we have seen this object.

On January 27, 2015, I was looking out the window of our third floor apartment, when right in the tree line, I saw a black object, completely smooth in texture, seem to glide down towards the ground. It was larger than a bird and smaller than a car and was the same shape as a sneaker from the rear right side.

I watched the object for a few seconds until it was out of view, down in thick trees. This occurred in Clintondale, NY, and the craft seemed to be near the church and cemetery

We saw a large burning object on fire. It burned bright orange floating slowly in the upper atmosphere, it was centered to the left of the moon.

As it came down it started to disintegrate, like a piece of paper on fire. There was smoke and fire as it disintegrated. As it came to earth I could see black smoke coming from the object and fire as well. It didn't move fast, like a meter. Saw no other reports on this sighting.

Fireball seen near Chicago, IL

Tonight I was on my deck when I saw a very bright light moving very fast in the sky. It resembled a fireball. I first saw it in the southeast heading northwest.

At first I thought it might have been landing lights on an aircraft being diffused in the clouds.

I live close to Chicago so I see aircraft on approach all the time.

I object was higher than normal planes on approach. T

he object was also heading directly for Chicago.

All the lights on the object went out.

I could clearly see the outline of the object. It was round possibly oval.

It began to look as it descending out of the sky.

It disappeared as the treeline further blocked its view.

I heard no sound coming from this object.

It was at an altitude where I would have heard the engines if it was an airplane.

red and blue light hovering over the hills due North East of the Highland Blvd

On the night of April 24th 2012 I was walking down the block to my friend's to go for a jog and as I looked up towards the mountain I saw a red and blue light going back and forth at first I thought it was a car, but as I watched it I noticed that the object was going to fast and to smoothly from side to side to be on a dirt road then as I began to focus in on it's movements I noticed that as it was going from side to side it was also bobbing up and down at the same time. I've hiked and climbed all over the hills and mountains in my area and know that there was no road for it to be a car. After 10 minutes of watching the object bob up and down and back and forth it dipped into the trees and was gone

I couldn't sleep so I was looking out the window to c if there were any deer in my yard. I look up at the sky and notcied some green, yellow, and red lights. I thought I was a plane passing. I looked out and hour later and the craft was still there.

I woke my mate up to look and he said it was probly a plane. I said it's not moving very much. He said give it about 15 min and I'll go outside to see. It was still there, so he went outside and seen lights, he said it was very slow moving but couldn't see what it was.

I kept looking outside I can still see the lights, and it's been over 2 hours so I know it's not a plane, and the lights are going in a circle.

I was really scared and just watching it.

unexplained noise flying above house with no associated air traffic

At approximately 12:03 Central time. A noise occurred above our house. The house sits above most of the local treeline atop the highest hill in the area. From the Southwest to the Northeast the sound emanated, shaking the house slightly. The best description I can give is it sounded like a firehouse being sprayed against aluminum siding. Our house is on a flight path for helicopters, planes and even military flights but this sounded completely different. It also traveled opposite to the normal flight path. We have experienced sonic booms and again different from that noise. Due to the cloud cover and light rainfall we were unable to glimpse any object but the clouds were disturbed in a pattern as if something had skimmed them, similar to if you pulled an edge of paper through paint. Objects were unknown, only one for certain. Did not see any associated lights.

quick long flashing hovering object

Me and my friend were in our car driving into our development at night when there was a fullmoon and something caught both of our eyes hovering above us through the sky. We slowed down to watch it. It was long and had blue flashy lights. There was no wings and it didnt look like it was "flying" it was more "hovering". It moved quickly though, it was only there for about 10 seconds and then it was gone. It was probably about 500 ft up.

Odd lights in the sky over Utah Valley.

I am a 19 year old resident of Highland Utah, I go to a vocational school and live with my family. Tonight I went out on my routine walk before bed. As I was walking west maybe half a mile from my home, I noticed two lights maneuvering around in the sky in the west. They seemed to be over the city of Lehi and near the Oquirrh Mountains. I stood and watched them for a minute or two. They're maneuvers were so odd. One would circle the other, they would drop and climb large distances at surprising speed. After a few moments I decided to carry on watching them at a park just down the street, where a hill would provide a more unobstructed view. I ran down the street and up the hill and continued to watch. More odd movements. At a few points, they went from what seemed thousands of feet in the sky, and dropped below the tree line where I couldn't see them, and came back minutes later. After they climbed back into the sky, they would stay pretty still for! a while and then begin to move around again. I know there is a military base nearby, Camp Williams, but I have lived in the area my whole life and never seen anything like this. I suppose it could have been some sort of training operation, but the movement those lights made were very strange to me.

Low flying military aircraft seen in the area which is out of the ordinary.

On Sunday July 4th 2010 about 19:30 I was inside my home and heard military sounding jets flying rather low around the area. I went outside and saw 2 what appeared to be F-15’s, due to the dual vertical stabilizers on the tail, flying at a rather low altitude. They made two rather large circular passes at (not more than a few thousand feet up) and then proceeded in a south westerly direction.

I also saw a C-17 flying a couple hundred feet level over the old Norton Air Force Base at the same time. I lost sight of both aircraft (C-17 and F15’s) due to the trees near my home. This lasted maybe 5 minutes in total.

I am born and raised in this community and have not seen anything like this since the Air Force Base was an active military facility some 15 years ago or more.

Bright Sphere observed from Highland, Utah Scanning Lone Peak Mountian Top near Alpine, Utah on July 15, 2009 at 3:00AM

July 15, 2009 Highland, Utah approximately 3:00am Was outside letting my pets out to stretch and use the restroom when I looked north east from Highland just above Alpine City towards Lone Peak Mountain and saw a bright yellow/white semi-large object estimated to be at least 50-100 feet in diameter creep over the crest of the mountain, then go behind the mountain heading south east and reappear over the next peak within seconds. Then the object then turned 180 degrees towards the North West and began scanning the mountain top with a shapeable bright white search beam. The mountain top is estimated to be about 4 ½ - 5 ½ miles away from my home. The object was moving very quickly compared to conventional aircraft and was completely silent. Normally I can hear helicopters from that distance very clearly as the sound echoes of the canyon and mountain surface. The object had to be moving or jumping from mountain peak to mountain peak in less than a seconds. It did not appear to be in a hurry but searched quickly and lit up ¼ mile sections of the mountain top almost as bright as day with its search beam. I could very clearly see the rocky surface and trees present on the mountain surface. I watched it move from place to place along the south side of the mountain top and ridge as if it were searching for something. It probably covered about a 1 – 1 ½ mile area east to west then seemed to go north again just over the mountain crest out of view. The strange thing is that when it went out of view it appeared that its search beam was penetrating the mountain with a blue hue as if it were translucent or the beam were actually shining through the mountain as it searched both the north and south sides. Because of this translucent appearance through the top area of the mountain crest it was very difficult to gauge if the object was behind or in front of the north side of the ridge. Very strange indeed, because the object was not visible when it went over the ridge but the beam was. Just when I thought I was wrong and that it just had its search light pointed away ! to the n orth it ascended upwards over the ridge to the south side again and the translucent looking beam spot looked as if it came up over the top surface of the north crest and then down the south side again only to get brighter and whiter. I then immediately began feeling my pockets for my cell phone to take a picture and remembered that I had a flip camera in the house. I started to walk backwards quickly and then the object stopped dead in its search, I had a feeling like you get when in the back-country and you spot a deer and realize the deer has spotted you too. The object then pointed its search beam down the mountain slope in my direction but the beam only ended about halfway down the entire mountain ridge. I had a feeling that it knew I was aware of it now and quickly walked backwards towards the door while keeping an eye on it. It then resumed search of the area with its search beam as I dashed in the house to wake my parents and get my camera to film the event. I woke my parents, grabbed the flip camera and ushered my parents outside to whiteness the event (about 30seconds). When we got outside it was nowhere to be seen and I stayed outside for the next hour long after my parents retired back to bed in hopes it would return so I could film it. It never returned. The whole event only lasted about 2-3 minutes. I have seen strange unidentified objects when I was younger but nothing like this that was so bizarre and so visually active that lasted more than 45 seconds.

Big triangular-shaped craft with many lights underneath, including a large white one.

This is my first time reporting this, and will probably be my last. I have already spent time trying to find other witnesses or reports, but came up short. Basically, this had to be one of the most incredible UFO sightings in recent time..

I was 12 and it was during summer break. I spent it at my grandma's house in Highland. I had a friend, Ryan, who lived across the street. I spent the night at his house.

At around midnight (exact time, date and month unknown) me and Ryan were laying on his front lawn looking up, staring at the beautiful sky, talking about random topics. Suddenly, and silently, a triangular shaped craft came into view. A pretty damn big craft. Our estimate was that it was several times the size of a 747. It was relatively close to the ground. It had to have been black because we saw no outline. We were able to see it was triangular in shape because it had many lights underneath. I describe it as dim, smokey orange, green and yellow lights, with one big white one in the middle. We stood up shouting and screaming in fear and amazement. Sometime during the event, I told him to go find a camera or video camera. The craft suddenly shot a beam of white light to the earth (next to the highway on the! area of dead grass) and then retracted. Then a few seconds later it shown a light seemingly through the top of it into the clouds. I was watching it as it continued to fly off. My friend returned with his mom and no camera. I think the craft was already gone because I remember his mom did not get a chance to see it. We then noticed his neighbor working in his garage, but it seemed he didnt see the craft, and must not have been there during the event. It was truely incredible. I wish I had video or photo footage. I've been fascinated and a believer ever since.

ALL I WANT IS SOME KIND OF CONFORMATION THAT THIS EVENT TOOK PLACE. I WANT TO TALK TO OTHER WITNESSES!! I cant be the only one who saw it!!!!!!!!!

Slow moving dark object flying in the sky.

To whom this may concern.

I am not sure what to say about my experience today. I guess my first question is, has anyone reported something odd in the sky over the NW Indiana today (4/30/09). I ask this because myself and another person witnessed a strange object moving very slowly beneath the heavy cloud cover. The object was dark color and very large. I first thought the object was a low flying jet. Then I realized it was moving way to slow. As we watched this thing we kept asking each other what we thought it was. We vocally passed ideas to each other that it was a helicopter, Balloon, Blimp but the shape was all wrong for any of these aircraft. We couldn’t figure out what it was.

The movement was SLOW, very slow. Had it been a big jetliner it would have fallen out of the sky, it was moving that slow. The shape was sort of round but more elongated or cigar shaped and the color was dark greyish black. There was no sound and we saw no lights of any kind.

It was well below the very heavy cloud cover and it was extremely easy to see as it passed behind the tall leafless trees in the distance. As for the distance from it to where we were was about 400-800 yards. I know this sounds like it was pretty far away but the size of this thing was quite large. Someone else had to see it. I kept comparing it to the Semi Trucks traveling below it and how much bigger it was and wonder what the hell it was.

The object was moving in an easterly to south easterly direction. After about 3 to 4 mins of watching it, it stopped and looked as if it was turning (North) and we thought is was going to come toward us. But it immediately zipped way at a much faster speed due south and out of our sight.

I have no idea of what this object was and it has left me wondering about we saw. One thing we both kept saying to each other was that the outer shape was obscured or had a fuzzy appearance. What I mean by this, is for some reason we couldn’t make out a clear outline of the object. It was like when you look at the road on a hot day and you see the heat waves coming of the road creating a watery appearance. You could see it but it was very hard to focus on.

Let me know if anyone has seen anything like this or if anyone has reported seeing this strange object over northwest Indiana today on April 30th 2009 at approximately 3:00 Pm or a little afterwards.

Thank you for your time

4th of July UFO

On the evening of July 4, 2008 my daughters went to their friends’ house to see the annual firework show. The show ended and they were just hanging out in the friends’ backyard. It was my two daughters, the friend and the friends’ mom that were in the backyard. My oldest daughter was sitting on the grass and noticed something in the sky, she first thought it was maybe a firework but it was moving. No later that she saw it her friend said, “is that a UFO or what?” They all were freaking out, looking at this object in the sky. My oldest described it as orange in color, a white light in front of it and green lights around the object. My oldest described it as a circular, balloon shaped object, orange in color. She could see inside the object and she described the inside was the colors, green and red, she described it like it was like when a disco ball is on, the different colors. My youngest had her digital camera that she just received on her birthday on July 2. She took it to take pictures of the fireworks but took more than fireworks that night! They both said the object was traveling from North to South. It was a 4th of July they will never forget, much better than just seeing fireworks!

Two objects come in contact in the sky nose to nose and one revolves around the other.

I was outside at 3:00am looking up into the sky, and spotted and object that looked like a star gliding across the sky.

As I'm looking at the object, another one comes into view coming from the opposite direction. I then focused on the 2nd object because it was brighter and a solid yellow color.

As i`m watching it glide by, I noticed the first object heading directly towards the other. I then thought, "I`m about to witness an accident", but the two objects came in contact with eachother and stopped.

Immediatly afterwards, the yellow object made a complete 360 degree turn around the other object with the point (triangle shaped) facing the object #1 the entire time.

After it completed the circle, object #2 began to glide away until out of sight behind the trees. Object #1 glided for a moment, shot upwards into the sky, and then stood still like a star.

As I walked into my house to grab a camera to get a photo of object #1, it then disappeared completely. I belive that there is no man-made objects or cosmic phenomenon that could do what these objects did.

Hovering lights in the clear night sky, flashing red orange and disappear

I was about a half mile away from my home when I saw two flashing lights in the sky. My initial thought was airplane, but I soon realized that the lights were far too big and were not moving at all. I could not make out the exact shape of the UFO but I could tell about how big it was by the alternate flashing of lights on either side of it. The lights appeared to be a red-orange color and were quite large. I pulled over on the side of the road and rolled my driver side window down and turned down the radio. The lights grew dim and it disappeared. I had no idea what I had seen and thought that it may have went behind a cloud but when I got to my house and observed the same spot in the sky where I had seen it, the sky was crystal clear and no clouds were in sight and all of the stars were out.

Shape: Sphere
Characteristics: Changed Colo

Silver sphere hovers above old Norton AFB, maneuvers quickly and stops.

This event happened on Tuesday, January 15, 2008 I was driving on the 30 Freeway in Highland, California at about 9:10 AM heading west past Victoria Avenue. I noticed something that looked like silver sphere hovering in the air to my left, which would be southwest from my location, and I tracked it from my 11 o’clock position to about my 7 o’clock position as I drove in the number one (fast lane) at about 75 mph.

There were no visible rotors, blades or cockpit. It looked solid to me and it was a good distance (1 mile?) away with a good amount of height (300 -500 feet?). I originally estimated its size at about half that of a VW Beetle, but I later changed my mind after comparing the size of the old Norton water tower, which is plainly recognizable as a very large water tower in the distance. I now think the sphere was larger – maybe 10 feet in diameter.

The object caught my attention because it hovered in the sky much higher than a streetlight or radio antenna and did not look like a helicopter, airplane or balloon. In my opinion, the object had no visible means of propulsion (blades/ intake) and no visible cockpit. It was not an obstruction caused by moving traffic or other nearby obstructions. It was in the distance and initially not moving. To me, this is an odd phenomenon, especially on a clear day. As I observed, I watched it maneuver upwards in a reverse “J” – it must have gained in elevation about one or two hundred feet in less than a second.

It then stopped or slowed dramatically at the peak of its ascent and moved to the right a bit.

I looked at the object for about three seconds before I lost visual contact due to moving traffic. I could no longer “spot” it because it was now behind me to my left. I looked at a map of San Bernardino and it looked as if it was in the direction of the old Norton Air Force Base (San Bernardino International Airport). I had to take my eyes off the object because I almost drove off the freeway.

At the moment of this observance, I was in the number one (far left) lane with no obstructions from westward traffic or streetlights. My car was clean with no spots on the windshield, there was no glare from the sun and I was sober and alert. The entire event (while short) caused me enough stress to almost crash my car and I immediately called my family and friends to tell them what I saw. I don’t think it was a weather balloon because of the extremely fast movements (stop-maneuver-stop). I don’t know what it was; it was an unidentified flying object. I noticed a change in color from silver or grey to dark grey or black - this was in my opinion caused by the object's shadow, but I'm not 100% sure.

I am a 32-year-old married white male that has experience in practical special effects for film and television, I have 20/15-eyesight with no physical impairments and I am an avid outdoorsman. I am also a local to San Bernardino County and I have driven the 30 freeway hundreds of times in all conditions.

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Left a trail

I witnessed a lowflying thick bright green fire trail that appeared out of nowehere.

I was pulling into my girlfriend's driveway around 2:30-2:45 am. She was asleep in the car. As soon as I drove up to the house I looked to the back side of the house because this huge bright green fire trail appeared out of nowhere.

I have seen this type of U.F.O. before with my girlfriend, but never has it been this low and describable. When I had seen it before, about a year ago but in the same town, it was very high up in the night sky. The trail was too far away to see as flames. I realize that it actually traveled the exact same direction.

There is absolutely no way that this was some meteorite falling out of the sky. It's path and trail was so defined and visually unique. Holding my thumb and pointer finger to my eye, it was an inch thick, and the trail was a good 4-5 inches long. It looked like flames reaching outward for oxygen. It didn't trickle off into other colors. It's integrity remained the same the entire time it was in my line of site.

It almost seemed to take off from the vast wooded area. Not a vertical lift at all, but coming from a slight angle and never curving away. It stayed straight in it's path with it's long bright green fire trail escaping further view over the distant trees.

I have to note that I am near a military airport, Stewart International. I was unable to see the source which created the trail. It was too dark to see anything other than the green fire trail.

Parallel lines moving from West to East in the sky

On Nov. 28th I was awakened at EXACTLY midnight by our Donkey outside in the yard.

I looked out the window and into the sky to see white lights in the distace almost like fireworks thru the trees. I noticed these lights moving from West to East thru the trees at a very slow pace.

I live in the pathway of the Baltimore Washington International airport so I have seen many planes in the sky. This certainly was not one of them.

As the object got a little closer and between the trees again I saw what appeared to be two parallel lines of BRIGHT white and green lights.

I did not hear the typical commercial airline noises.

I watched the object move from West to East at a very slow pace until it was out of my spectrum.

Shower of sparks and colors emitted from object

My girlfriend and I were driving north on Indianapolis Blvd in Highland heading for Chicago after a weeks trip in Evansville, IN.

I looked out the passenger window as my girlfriend was driving and noticed a shower of sparks, a sort of tail of golden sparks. I would estimate the height of the to be approximatly 750 - 1000 feet. I thought it may be a firework of some sort up until it made a slow turn heading in the oppisite direction.

The tail of sparks stoped and I saw what may have been the light of an airplane, although it was just a single small amber light, the size of a star. It continued on for a moment then the sparks started agian.

I am telling you it was the strangest thing. It was manuvering in the air and I could have mistaken it for a firework if it had not been manuvering and turning on and off. The strangest thing is it started to drop small sparkes which exploded and appeared to be just like a 4th of july arial firework.

I don't know whether aircraft preform these types of fireworks shows or what, but whatever it was was under control and definatly manuvering in such a way there was a craft behind the whole thing. I have never seen an airplane fly over and drop a comet like tail of sparks and fireworks.

My girlfriend was witness to all this too and I got a terrible video of it on the digital camera.

Thanks

I had just gotten home from HXXX DXXXX and was pulling stuff out of my truck when something cought my eye. At first I thought it was ballons kicked up by the mild wind after that I figured they were about 3500-4000 feet appr. from south east heading north west. Suddenly they banked off to the north. Thats when I realized the formation was to accureatly turning to be seperate units. After turning directly north it went overhead then ascrnded from site.

Not sure if you could classify it as a UFO. But it def. was way out of the norm for me.

We saw two circles in the sky. They changed color . I saw White and Red. They were kind far away They did not move around they stay in the same spot for a few minutes. Every once in a while they would burst into colors, both the same time. about 1 hour later we notice alot planes flying around.



NUFORC Note:

We suspect that the witnesses may have been looking at twinkling stars. The witness was kind enough to forward approximately 12-14 minutes of video tape, which we have reviewed. Based on the footage, we believe the objects were celestial bodies. PD

Me and a friend saw a ufo

Me and my Friend were walking down his dirt road to a contruction site we ride are bikes. We got tired from jumping are bikes and sat down and just talked about stuff and he got up and i got up and i looked at the west part of the sky and saw a light and me and my friend watched it and talked about other stuff thinking it was just a plane or helicopter. I remember it was just in the air a good distance and looked like it was headed towards us only very slow then what made me and him wonder what it was was when it took a sharp turn to the left as if it just stoped and then went in another direction not turning then it went over the same direction it did when it went to the left and it went forward towards us and we rode are bikes up a hill to see it go over us and i got and good look at it before it flew over us and it was triangular but you couldnt see the body only three lights and they where a white, and a bluish color, and it was soundless we couldnt hear it at all and it wasnt that high. It was probley as high as a hot air balloon usally is. Then it flew over us just about 10 feet in front of us and a tree got in the way of our view and i swear it was only 3 seconds after the tree was out of our view that it was not any where in the distance and it was a clear night about 10:00 when we went home after that. I am a big believer in ufos and have been for about ever since i was 6 and i am now 18 and i heard about the 11 ufo sighting over mexico in march and it was just incredible to know that it had the backing of a united states official and it was declared a historic event and there was a sighting over iran just before that one with 8 ufos over iran in april. I also heard that ufoligist believe something truly amazing might happen this year so just keep that in mind.

Occurred: 1999-07-16 14:30 Local
Reported: 1999-07-18 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 10 sec
No of observers: 1

Location: Highland, CA, USA

Shape: Rectangle
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

Daytime observation of a very large rectangular object with rounded ends. Silver in the middle with white ends. No observable thickness. Moving very slowly and wobbling from end to end. Total observation time of ten seconds. Object abruptly disappeared.

I was inside my house when my attention was attracted by a loud sound of a group of 3 (military)helicopters passing overhead and proceeding in a northwesterly direction. Went outside and looked up at helicopters when a strange object was observed at a higher altitude and almost directly overhead. The object was a modified rectangle with rounded ends, approximately 3 to 4 times longer than wide. The center third was a silvery metallic color and the two end thirds were white with a sharp edge between the areas. There were no projections visible and no markings. A rough estimate of observed length is based on a length of 4 inches at a distance of one arm length. It appeared to be nearly stationary but wobbled or occilated from end to end. My impression was that it was very large. I could not observe any thickness to the object but it was directly overhead. Any sounds would have been obscured by the helicopter engine noise. It appeared that it was moving slowly and was about to become obscured by a large tree next to our house so I moved to a better viewing position about 10 feet away looking away during this brief period. When I looked up again the object had disappeared. A commercial jet was also passing overhead going south at this time. This object was lower than the jet and in a different part of the sky. This sighting was very short probably not greater than 10 seconds or so.

Spherical. Red, yellow, and green lights. Below clouds, yet very high up.

The craft appears spherical in shape seen through binoculars. In the northern sky high, yet below the clouds.

Possible shperical object in northern sky. Colors were green over yellow over red. Disappeard, then reappeared west of original location. Flashing at some points.

First sighting was at 20:30 central time. Object was located in north eastern sky line. Description of object: Possible shpere shaped; top section first appeared green, center is yellow, lower section glowed red. After watching the object with binoculars, it had "drifted" to the east. Then it seemed to have disappeared. Reappeared (possibly even another craft, unlikely) west of the original position. Approximately 30 minutes later the object rotated clockwise. The red glowing section pointed northwest, while the green section seemed to have vanished. The majority of the object seemed to be yellow at this point. The yellow pointed south east towards the ground. Eventually it rotated back. It then seemd to have "drifted" back to its original sighting position. Rotated a 90 degree angle clockwise, then went straight up higher into the atmosphere. It went back to the original colors green on yellow on red (rotated back). Watching it longer, I noticed something was "dropped" suddenly from it. I saw it fall for not even a second and then it disappeared. The object has sat in that one position for several hours now. It is currently 03:31 on 10/12/98.

(Source: Cinde Costello, MUFON SSD, San Bernardino County, So. Calif.)

Mr. S.C. was proceeding to pull out of a driveway into traffic on Del Rosa Ave. in Highland (east of San Bernardino) when he looked to the north and saw what he first thought to be a giant black bird hovering over the San Bernardino Mountains in the vicinity of Lake Arrowhead. He quickly discerned that it wasn't a bird and grabbed his 7X binoculars he keeps in his vehicle for a closer look. He described the object as black, cylindrical with "seagull-like" wings. Size estimated to be 3-inches long at arms length. Duration of sighting approx. 3-4 minutes from the time he first noticed it until he watched it shrink down to pin point size while still viewing it through binoculars. Object was clearly over the mountains suggesting an altitude of approx. 7500-8000 ft. The witness stated that he'd seen alot of strange lights in the sky before but nothing he couldn't attribute to normal aircraft or stars, this one was different. He said it made a believer out of him.

Fishing in a pond, I believe was call Optimus Lake that has long since been covered over, in Highland, Indiana, just off of Indianapolis BLVD is where I had seen it.

The saucer looked of seamless gold/bronze and had portholes a third the way up its structure. It was at an angle leaning towards me nestled in between 3 to 4 tree tops as cover to hide from the main road. I did not see the bottom.

My family ventured off to fish further down and I felt a need to look up and over my shoulder when I had seen it. I do not know if it was fear or embarrassment, because I had just finished peeing in the lake in my youth, but I looked away as if it was just another object in my life as if to say so what.

I have never shared this story but I cannot seem to get the image out of my mind. I did look back up eventually but it was gone and I never heard a thing to cause me to look up. It was as if I somehow knew it was there.

Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Location: Highland, IN, USA

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

I looked out my window to see a disc shaped object hovering about less than 100 ft. over my house.

This happened when I was only 7 but I can picture it like it was yesterday. On hot nights when I couldn't sleep I would put my face up against the window that was right next to my top bunk because the window was always cooler. One night I did this and opened my eyes to see a disc shaped object hovering less than 100 ft. over my house. It was all lit up in different colors and the lights kept flashing in a pattern. My parents were sitting on the couch in the next room talking and I called out to them asking them what that thing in the sky with all the lights was. My mom didn't even look out but called back that it was an advertisement and that someone was having a sale or grand opening. At the time, being only 7 this made perfect sense to me, but later I realized that from my discription she thought that I was talking about a strobe light. It was at this time that I realized that that thing that I had seen was not anything the average citizen was familiar with. As I watched this object it slowly and silently started to "drift" in a slightly NW direction towards the Ridge Road viaduct just East of Wicker Park, until it was out of sight from my window. Years later I was talking with a friend who had lived a few doors away at the time and she described for me the exact same thing even though we had never discussed it before. She had seen it too.
