Unknown bright blue object in the sky that subdivided into two bright blue objects

At approximately 1:55 a.m. on Saturday, September 9, I decided to head off to bed after watching television. I am a night owl, so it is normal for me to be wide awake late into the evening and early morning hours. Upon laying down and looking directly out an open west window one foot away from the bed, I noticed an unknown object with intense bright blue light surrounding it flying erratically using sudden darting movements high in the sky west of Hinckley. I immediately got out of bed and watched it maneuver for the next 15 minutes. I couldn't take my eyes off of it. The most stunning movement was how it literally appeared to fall or drop from the sky at blinding speed. But then it then came to a complete stop and remained in one place. It darted back up into the sky, and in general continued to dart at will around the sky west of Hinckley. Occasionally, the object would completely disappear and then suddenly reappear a few seconds later. The night was clear with no clouds, so there was nothing to obscure the object from visibility.

The next thing that occurred was simply amazing! As it started to move east across Hinckley on the north side of town, the object suddenly became TWO unknown objects, each surrounded with bright blue light. Together, in absolutely precise tandem, they flew to the east at high speed. In order to continue watching, I had to quickly run from the west side of the house to the east side. When I arrived on the deck on the east side of the house, the two objects had either blended back into one, or one of them had left the area. The remaining blue object then flew out of sight south of Hinckley. Absolutely stunned by the unbelievable sharp turns it would make at high speed, I continued to remain on the deck waiting to see if it might return. And it did! It flew back from the south where it had previously gone and proceeded further east. I did not see it again although I continued to monitor the sky for quite some time after.

I'll do my best to try to describe the speed at which this object moved. Imagine using your finger to point up into the sky on the west side of Hinckley. Then quickly swing your finger all the way to the east side of Hinckley. In about one second the object moved across the Hinckley sky before coming to a complete stop, changing direction, and flying off again. When it suddenly dropped from the sky at the beginning of the sighting, it happened so quickly that I thought it was going to hit the ground. But no, it simply stopped mid-air before it decided to dart off into another direction.

The objects were incredibly easy to see in the sky due to the intensity of the blue light surrounding each of them. For as high into the sky as they were, they must have been fairly large objects to be seen so easily from my location on the ground. I thought about alerting the local police of the sighting, but I simply didn't want to take my eyes away from what I was viewing as I may never see something like this again in my lifetime. And since I imagine a sighting such as this would be perceived as unbelievable, I decided to report what I saw on this website instead. I have never reported, nor experienced, anything such as this ever before.

Orange red lights

In the sky we noticed the bright planet to the east and another very bright orange light just staying in a low position but lined up with the planet. This orange light was in the south west side of the sky. I got out to film it and noticed it staying in one spot then as I tried to focus my camera it would not focus it started to move pretty fast then the lights started to rotate mimicking blinking. As it moved over my truck and kids there was no sound and it looked like a shape of a boat (looking up at a boat with a point tip) all Three dimensional It moved fast towards the north. As we are driving east we see the bright planet and now see the same lights comping back towards that planet it did a complete circle . 4 other lights red colored align to make a square. They then fade away.

Duration: 10 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Hinckley, MN, USA

Shape: Sphere


Girlfriend and I were up in Hinckley, MN, at a friend's cabin. It was a clear sky with very little light polution and a lot of stars. I looked at a particular patch of stars and noticed an object with the same shape and brightness as a star. The object was definately on the outside of the Earth's atmosphere. We suspected that the object/craft was performing manuevers because it would travel in a straight line, the take hard, right angled turns to the right or left. On occassion, it would travel in partial circular motions and, again take hard, right angled turns. There was no way of determining the exact speed, but the fact that it was outside the Earth's atmosphere and we could notice substantial movement, we could only conclude that it was traveling at an incredible velocity.

In retrospect, I should've tracked it for as long as I could, but got bored and went on to other things.

I saw hovering lights and at a later date actual beings that were not human who may have been following me.

I was sleeping when I was in my early teens. I was woken up by a light. With beings standing around me three or four of them. I was really scared. The room seemed to be larger than it was when the people and the light were not present. They all looked at me. I closed my eyes and was ready to be attacked. At first I thought someone had broken in and was going to hurt me. I opened my eyes again and saw them again moving around. At the time I did not think it really happened. I knew it was real but I thought that would make me crazy to admit that it was possible. I started to hear that other people have had similar experiences. I have also heard theories of aliens being able to travel in dimensional spaces unnown by our modern science. Giving them the ability to come and go at the blink of an eye. I had one other experience that was around the same time but I can't remember its been so long. My cousin and I were outside of the house where I saw the beings by my bed. We were there and saw lights in the sky just over the woods. It looked like lights you see on the side of a semi truck at first but there is no road close to that area of the woods and the lights were in the air close to the tree tops which means the lights were levitating. We both saw it. Him first then me. We both ran inside to get away because it was so strange and weird.

UFO Medina County 1994

I cannot remember the exact date, but I was returning home from work and saw a large circular shaped object with many lights hovering about 50-100 ft over the intersection of RT 18 and RT 94. There were a few cars at the intersection. I was in awe. I went south on RT 94 and it paced my car. I looked back and it disappeared. Did anyone else see this, or remember it?

Location: Hinckley, OH, USA

Shape: Cylinder
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

I was getting ready for school and I had to wear a tie that day, so I went into my parents’ room to borrow one from my father's selection. I looked out of the window of their room, which was located at the back of the house, and I saw a cylindrical object flying over the farmer's pasture where his cows grazed, probably 100 yards from our backyard.

It was a dark gray object, but translucent, maybe about 50-ft. long with some type of markings on the side. It looked like a mini-blimp. I did not see windows or lights. It was flying at treetop level, with the nose slightly elevated, and the cylinder was not making a sound. It flew behind the next-door neighbor’s yard and turned slightly then disappeared over the crest of a hill.
