5 red fireballs in the sky flying very fast with no noise at night.

At night I saw 5 red/orange orb looking fireballs flying from west to the east. 3 of the orb fireballs were flying ahead of the other 2 orb fireballs. It was dark outside and the orb fireballs were flying very fast. It was a quiet night with no wind or noise. I had my Apple phone camera with me so I took a couple of pictures and if you magnify the photo you can see something on the bottom of the orb fireballs. No other lights were on these objects. I was unable to tell how large they were. The sky was dark and I could see stars in the sky. By the time I ran into the house to get another witness, they were gone.

Daytime sighting of huge, reflective disappearing orb

My son and I were driving south on the highway. I saw the huge football shaped bright light. Then I realized it was some kind of shiny metal that was reflecting light. It suddenly went from still to moving west very fast. When it moved it appeared to become transparent. I don’t think I would have noticed it in the transparent setting if I hadn’t first seen the bright light reflecting metal.

Felt weird vibration with a low tone hum almost as if a guitar Amp was on with no plug. I started to feel like somthing was in my hair and I snapped a few quick pictures and it looks like my face is gone or as if I'm somthing else I have a galaxy a 12 phone the camera quality isn't the best but it's not bad and I seem to find when these beings are around the pictures I take look blurry but it's not if you soon in close it's almost like a code with a bunch of tiny letters and numbers I never tell anyone because nobody believes me I even tried to reach out to Dr Steven Greer but nothing . I try to communicate with them but they don't respond right away or I'm not getting the message. I'll be perfectly awake some nights and out of nowhere I feel my self being awken like I was sleeping when I wasn't. They also don't always fully materialize in front of me in 3D or how will we would see in our dimension I have a lot more videos pictures excetera and I used to have way more but now I always delete them just for the fact that every time I try to show people or tell them about this everybody just says no you're crazy or brushes at office if it's a joke but it's cool people can say what they want I know just like you guys know they're here

Hi I'm ((name deleted)) 28 from holland I have a lot of info that needs to be discussed professionally and seriously under the terms that I can't make this up causing real life issues.

Last night was a average sighting that Id say I see about twice a week.yes a week I have been being visited from 3 -4 different groups of extraterrestrials.only concern I have is for a particular group who won't respond to litteraly anything I ask they just stare at me . So I was doing the ce5 from d.rGreer but I wrote a letter to try a chance at him reading. and getting in touch. Any ways for the past 9 months or so iv been followed by them but in a friendly way I have videos of them as well as pics I get almost daily but nobody would belive me but I have a crappy Samsung a12 t mobile phone I couldn't edit the videos either way let me know what to do and I can send videos pictures in when ever but I'm scared to bc I feel like it'll blow up on the internet because these civilizations really listend and came to my location and now won't leace lmao:)

I use the ce5 protocols and got footage totally by accident i was sitting on my porch recording and it wasn't until after I looked and tried to figure every possible scenario out and I was sitting in the dark so there's no other way my phone would capture the movement this object then I thought maybe it was a another light that I had on me but I tested that out too as well and it's zooming in you can clearly see that not anything that I've ever seen

Two white objects flying twice the speed of other jet aircraft, following the flight path of a plane that had just flown over.

I am a recently retired Engineering Standards Lead for a major aviation company. On August 18, 2020, my wife and I were riding our bikes and took a break at approximately 3:15 PM. We typically rest in a grassy area adjacent to a golf course about 3 miles from Lake Michigan, where we have a clear view of most of the sky. We saw a couple commercial jet aircraft, and one that we watched heading east seemed to be a bit different from the usual aircraft we see. Shortly after that plane flew over, we saw two white objects that appeared a bit oval in shape, flying east at about twice the speed of the other jet aircraft we observed. The objects then varied their flight path and turned to the south east, where we lost track of them in some clouds. We haven't been able to find any other info about the incident.

Color changing sphere circles sky over WNY.

Just after midnight on Friday (I listed date as Saturday because it officially was) I was returning home from work. I stepped into my backyard to use the bathroom. I observed an object in the south east direction that appeared to be spherical in shape and was changing colors. The object was moving north east then appeared to change direction and head south. I watched it then drop elevation and it appeared to be circling. I took a series of photos and went back inside. I zoomed in on the photos expecting to debunk them but was shocked to see it was a sphere shaped object. I have it in several colors. I went back out and took two videos.

I am 39 years old and an avid outdoorsman. I observed this object for over an hour. I have never witnessed anything close to this ever.

2 bright orange/red balls moving SSE to NNW (one after the other) across sky in approximately 10 seconds.

8/23/2016 10:20 pm Holland, MI. I would like to report 2 rather bright orange "balls" that I just saw travelling in a straight line SSE to NNW direction. I observed these objects from the deck and driveway of my home in Holland, MI.

The objects had no strobes, and were much brighter and quicker than e.g. Chinese lanterns. (Note that it is quite still out ... not even a breeze.) Each object traversed at a steady pace across the sky in approximately 10 seconds. No sounds.

The first one disappeared to the NNW into light cloud cover. That may help you understand the altitude. About 15 seconds after the first disappeared from sight, a second followed the same track from SSE to NNW ... same apparent speed and altitude. The second seemed more red than orange on the travelling "front" edge of the ball. Hard to say the true size, since an actual distance couldn't really be determined. From my view, they both appeared to be about the size of a pea in the night sky (fairly clear out this! evening, with a nice view of the stars). I wouldn't exactly call them "fireballs," but they did have something of that look to them color/texture wise.

It was a light blue light that came from behind us. As we were watching the fireworks around 11 p.m. the light crossed over heading away from us it made a instant left turn like no airplane can then it made an immediate right hand turn and stopped. It did not move for 3 minutes. The elevation I would have to guess 20-30000 feet. 3 minutes later started moving again but straight up and out of sight after turning color red while moving straight up.

I captured a small portion a video.

Holland michigan time after 11pm date quite frequently. Since seeing the aircraft mention in a film on netflix " ufos: the best evidence caught on tape" about 7 minutes and 20 seconds into the second epispode ((NAME DELETED)) filmed the exact same triangle in the exact same state. May second 1998 . they refer to it as a " cluster of orbs " that make up the craft ive discribed.

I've seen this multiple nights ive done some research and cannot find anything other than the mentioned video.

I do not have the camera quality good enough to take a picture or a video but if givin the chance i can help pinpoint the locations ive seen it . Not a crazed fan just an honest person looking for a honest awnser .

I went on my deck to look at the night sky and noticed an odd star in the southeast that was flickering a lot. I looked at the other stars to compare. The other stars were not acting the same.

I stayed in one position for 45 minutes and used a very mature white pine tree as a point of reference. It became apparent that the "star" wasn't a star but a hovering object moving very slowly in the sky. I took a picture the first night.

Spheres of red, green, white lights; V-formation of lights with a cluster of small lights next to it.

Spotted a group of bright lights, low in the sky, hovering over a parking lit with a near by water tower. The lights ranged from white to green to red. However on my phone (started videotaping) some purple lights were recorded as well. The group of lights didn't move a lot, hovered mostly, for about 25 minutes before moving further west towards Lake Michigan.

At that point 4 of us hopped in my car and tried to follow it. When we reached the parking lot , 30 seconds away, the group of lights suddenly turned into a V formation and has a small cluster of lights next to that.

As the V formation and cluster of lights seemed to form from the previous hovering lights, it went from being super low and close, in the sky, to higher up and appeared further away. However, when we stepped out of car to look at it, the V formation and cluster of little lights appeared to be right overhead. The top left light, the brightest one, of the V formation kep flashing the red, green, white and sometimes Orange.

The strange thing about all of this was when I was recording the hovering lights initially I had no problem getting on tape. When I pulled out my phone to record the V formation and cluster of lights NOTHING would show up on the screen/recording. The V formation gradually appeared to move further back, towards Lake Michigan, very slowly over the next 45-55 minutes. But was still easily visible for a long time after that. One thing we all noticed about the V formation was the bottom two lights on the left kept moving in and out of the formation, from side to side, constantly. It was very strange and fascinating!!!!!

On the morning of Saturday, November 1st, 2014, between 6:40 am and 6:45 am, I was traveling south in Texas highway 95 approximately between the towns of Holland and Sparks, Texas, and probably less than ten miles south of the town of Little River Academy, Texas (Bell County).

I was wondering that morning if it would rain and kept looking at the sky to see if I spotted rain clouds but the sky was clear and I managed to see an aircraft in the distance coming from an east direction.

All of a sudden right above to my right and almost in front of the road at a height which I calculated visually to be between 15,000 feet or maybe less a combination of lights traveling in unison appeared.

The lights appeared to be part of a structured or craft that had some sort of magnetic field that appeared to make half of it invisible to the eye or was blending with the sky and the rear part of it was visible and the lights were white bright, green, blue, celeste and other effects that I would say are not made by no known human technology.

I would have to admit this was a shocking as well as a life changing event as I have been secretly a skeptic with this type of phenomenon. The lights from this craft were absolutely beautiful and something I have never seen in my life.

It took me a moment to register what I had witnessed and I had dangerously lost focused of the road I was driving on and calculate I slowed my vehicle from 65 mph to about 30 to 35 mph in a 70 mph road. Afraid I would cause a traffic accident, I gradually brought the vehicle to an appropriate speed and looked to my right to see if the object or craft would reappear again, but it was gone, and I decided to continue my journey home from work.

I work the overnight shift at a correctional institution as a correctional officer and I was glad as I thought about this incident that it did not happen during Halloween night or the hours of 12 midnight and 5 am with no sun about to appear it would have been a terrifying experience.

A solid colored vehicle moving at high speed whith no characteristics of anything registered to fly in our airspace.

We were in my back yard which is a rectangle and the rear behind the house faces north. We were just waiting for dark to light off fireworks when someone noticed a red-ish/orange-ish ball of light. The first time I saw it, it was in the southeast sky moving rapidly northeast. It had a height of maybe 10 to 15 thousand feet off the ground. Comparing this to a balloon or parachute, there is no way to move a balloon or parachute that fast.

The second time I saw it, the sky was still light yet and it was as if the ball of light appeared from nowhere then moved from north to south at a very high speed. I quickly ran into the house and got my binoculars and when I ran back out it was gone.

Finally, the third time I saw one was Saturday night while having a campfire in the middle of the night. About 1 or 2 am on the 5th of July. I saw it come from the north off in the distance very far away. It moved very fast towards us and disappeared behind the trees in a duration of about 2 to 3 minutes. No blinking lights, one luminous color only. This is not known military or civilian. Parachutes and balloons cannot move like that and go that fast.

One of us (not myself) is an honorably discharged marine who served in Afghanistan recently.

Shape: Formation


Formation of 13 bright white lights extending 1.5 miles or more

I had just left my girlfriend’s house in Perrysburg, Ohio, en route to my home in Holland, Ohio (approximately a 9 mile trip). I was travelling north of I 475. About 2 miles before (Exit 6) my exit (Exit 8) off of I-475, I spotted a formation of lights to the west. This was at 10:34 pm (because I immediately called my girlfriend to tell her what I was seeing). To put this into geographic perspective, I would estimate the formation to have been south of Holland (but maybe still in Springfield Township) and north of the Maumee River/Lucas-Wood County line. To be more exact, it started slightly south of I 80/I 90 (Ohio Turnpike). I am not certain whether it was moving, due to my rate of speed (60 mph), but if it were moving, it was headed south. It appeared, though, to be stationary. The formation appeared to be somewhat close to the ground (much lower than a plane would be on approach to the Toledo Express Airport-4 miles away). I would estimate the fo! rmation as having been 1/4 mile west of I 475.

I counted 12 lights at first, but then a 13th light appeared faintly, almost flickering, towards the end (northern tail) of the formation. It brightened and its luminosity matched the other lights. The formation changed slightly twice (as if a few of the lights were swapping places), but wholly in part, kept its original shape. The lights never changed elevation so they were not floating or falling, and the color remained constant. When I first noticed the formation, my first thought was, “Wow, that is the brightest, closest constellation that I’ve ever seen.” It’s then that my eyes noticed far more than the initial cluster of 4 or 5 lights and took in the entire formation. The formation was at least 1.5 mile long and could have been as long as 2 miles. Simply put, it was a line of 13 lights (with some derivation from a conceptual straight line) ascending at approximately 30 degrees.

I was unable to take a picture due to traffic conditions (too dangerous to pull over) and the fact that I was driving. Once I reached my exit, I turned left and headed west about 1 mile and parked in a Boston Market fast food drive-thru. I was looking south over a tree line and I would say that my car was almost perfectly lined with the tail of the formation. At that point (2 minutes after exiting), I could still see 2 lights and they quickly disappeared (literally went out). It was approximately 10:38 pm. There was a male employee sitting on the curb of the parking lot waiting for a ride. I rolled down my window and asked him if he had seen what I had seen. He replied, “No,” which wasn’t surprising (he was nose-first in his cell phone).

From there I traveled west 1 mile to my apartment. I called media outlets, Lucas County Sheriff Dept, Lucas County Port Authority, Toledo Express Airport, Ohio State Highway Patrol, and the 180th Fighter Wing of the Air National Guard. The media was uninterested and the law was annoyed. The LCPA, Toledo Express, and The 180th assured me that flight traffic was at a minimum for the evening and that there was no radar evidence of a craft (or crafts) at that time/location. The LCPA confirmed that the 180th was not running drills or maneuvers. I also found a night kite flying group (online) based in Perrysburg. I called their president this morning and he assured me that their flying grounds, so to speak, are located at least 10 miles to the south east of my sighting, and sometimes, weather permitting, 15 miles to the south.

I called the news outlets once again this morning and at least got WTVG Ch. 13 to take my name and number. For research and record keeping purposes, I am a 32 year old white unmarried, but dating, man. I have a B.S. degree in education and have worked in sales and marketing for the past 7 years. I enjoy sports, history, cooking, working out, and dogs. I am a normal, healthy, well-adjusted, mid-western man. I am Christian by faith and make an income between $35-$50,000.

I have no idea of what it is that I saw last night.

No of observers: 1

Location: Holland, MI, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Landed

A cluster of bright lights on what looked like a triangle plane but then proceeded to Hover above the tree tops next to me.

I was on a long stretch of road around 11:45 p.m. Wednesday night and saw a small grouping of bright white lights on my right hand side off in the distance coming down towards the ground quite fast, and thought it was maybe a plane coming into the airport nearby, but as I got closer so did the lights to the ground. Then I next realized that it was a few miles in front of me now crossing the road I was on.

I sped up and got to where it was just on the other side on the road Hovering above the tree tops on the left side of the road about a quarter of a mile off the main road (that I was on). It was a strange shape like a triangular shape with lights on each corner and on light in the middle. It hovered there for a solid minute, as I watched the lights in my rear view mirror I turned around and headed back towards it.

As I turned around and headed back towards the lights I noticed it went straight up as if it were hovering like a helicopter taking off and when I looked again it shot really fast across the road and it was gone. Gone. I came to the clearing in the trees where a field was and you could see the open sky and land for miles and there was nothing. The lights/object had completely vanished.

Cylinder shape, 2 bright lights on bottom, one on each side of craft as well as one in front, foggy skies, craft aprox 15ft from roof.

I heard what sounded like a helicopter hovering outside my window, I just moved to this small town so I was eager to see my first helicopter since being here. Well upon going out side to see it, I quickly learned it was in fact not a helicopter. It was cylinder shaped almost like a helicopter except it had no tail and was more of a cylinder shape. It was approx. 15-20 ft above our 2 story roof and there were 2 bright, white, round, lights on the bottom in a row one in the front almost like headlights as well as one on each side but none on the back other than the on on the bottom in the rear. there were also 2 very small red lights on the right and left side and had what liiked like a fin or something attached o the craft's side which almost had me beliving it could have been a plane for a split second before realizing those were not the lights of any aircraft I've seen. There was also almost a haze of fogg around the craft, it was very cloudy skies but the ! craft was too low I think for the clouds to cause it.

second UFO in same area

This is the second time I have seen a UFO in the same area. The space craft has lights and its kind of triangle and round at the same time. As i drive up the street i see bright lights low to the ground and as i get closer it is very clear that it is not a low airplian that it is something that is not normal. It then starts to slowly fly away so I try to keep up with it, but I lost it going through my neighborhood. I think that its looking for something it seems. I have taken picture but it does not show up well at night, it seems strange that i have seen this UFO more than once in a very short time.

2 star like objects heading east as if one directly followed other

Just happened to have walked outside to check the pool filter, looked up to see if the stars were out, pretty full night sky, the moon was not up yet. I live on a direct e-w road, so direction is correct. In the direct sky above me, I thought I saw a brighter than normal star at say 1 o'clock position looking north. Shortly (within 4-5 seconds) another bright star appeared at 11 oclock position, both were moving at a faster than normal speed for any aircraft, both were direct path of each other, both moving in same north-eastern direction. Both passed over the tree line horizon. Far brighter than normal star(s) but far dimmer than Mars in southern sky.

Me and two other people where standing outside in our apartment complex parking lot when about 50 or so away we see this bright object. At first we thought it was a plane being it's cloudy and we live about a mile away from an airport. We witness the object staying in one spot, then it took off east and it went north into the atmosphere. It took less than a second to got about 1/4 a mile and out of site. No noise was heared.

At about 7:30 p.m. on 3/9/07 saw moving UFO low in sky with 4 main lights of different colors equally spaced in a circular pattern

At approximately 7:30 p.m. on March 9, 2007 (today) I happened to see outside my kitchen window what appeared to be a UFO flying in sky. It was flying in a northwest direction as it flew past my house in Holland, New York. It appeared to have a circular shape as the main lights, 4 of them, were in a circular pattern. These were visible in dark night sky. The lights had different colors and I think there was 1 curved line of light going between 2 of the main lights. As I recall I think the main lights were blinking. It’s not likely to have been a plane as it was quite low in the sky and at 1 point it was not visible as it passed behind my tall Norway Spruce trees. I don’t know too much about satellites but I think they would be higher in sky too.

weird moving lights in North east part of Holland's Sky

Well i have seen this light in the sky is the same area for the past couple months. I will be sitting in the back of my truck and i will notice that it was moving in circles. So Saturday (8/12/06) i grabed my fathers video camera and I have video of it.. My little sister was there watching it with me when i was filming. but there was no talking. While watching the video it changes colors. you can see it moving like crazy then it will change into a blur, like a haze around it.. I showed it to my mom the next day and my brother and his friend and they tell me that is messed up.. It you look at the North east part of the sky in the holland area you will see it.. matter a fact it was there just tonight, and i am sure its still there.. I am almost positive that it is not a satalight, plane, planet or star. The video that i took there is VERY VERY little movements of my hands, i used my trucks side wall of the bed for stability.

Object with shimmering lights (no sounds) at low elevation seen over Holland Michigan

Last night at about 11:10pm my friend and I came out of his house and we were standing in his back yard. He lives on New Holland Road on the north side of Holland Michigan. Holland is located on the west side of the state of Michigan and is right on the Lake Michigan coast line. My friends house is about a 5 minute drive to the coast line. He has about 9 acres in a relatively undeveloped area of town with very few lights obstructing the evening sky. We were just looking at the stars and as I looked at the western sky (toward Lake Michigan) I saw a very bright shining light. This light appeared white and bright. It shimered at times. I did not see where it came from or how it got to that point in the sky.

I called my friends attention to it and he immediately thought it was very odd. We both have spent many evenings enjoying the stars and late night skies over his property and have seen airplanes and helecopters on a number of occassions. What struck us as odd was it seemed close. Eventhough it appeared low out over the western horizon as if it were a plane at +20,000 feet coming over the lake (which is common) the lights seem as if they were no farther than a mile away over an area used for agricultural purposes. The light kind of hung there with a shimering effect. It was moving and eventualy approached my friends property roughly flying in a westerly to easterly direction. As it slowly moved just north of our position we did see a few lights on the object. We saw a red light additional white light and a green light. This brought up the brief discussion that it could simply be a plane with red and green navigation lights but their were still some oddities to this object. First- it still appeared to be very close. Lets say...less than a mile and looked to be no more than a one thousand feet (at most) in the air. Second - other than some distant highway traffic sounds it is relatively quiet at my friends property. As I said earlier...we have watched many airplanes and helecopters fly throughout this airspace many times. The difference is that this object made NO noise. We ussually can hear planes and other aircraft for miles and even when they are 20,000 feet in the air. We kept listening for the noise and nothing. As it passed us by heading in a easterly direction it made a slight direction change heading slightly northeast.Still no sounds. It eventually disappeared from our view over the horizon.

It could have been an airplane but the shimering lights, close proximity/elevation and apparent lack of sound left us a bit bewildered. This is the first time that we both felt that we may have seen a UFO.

3 satellites in 10 minute span - third one changes direction and stops; resumes at higher speeds

At around 11 PM Eastern Standard time, I looked into the sky and saw a satellite travelling from southeast to the northeast (approximately - not the best sense of direction I'm working with). My curiosity in the skies of this area has been piqued since the other day when I saw 3 black triangles in broad daylight immediately following a black helicopter acting very strange. I called my brother over to watch the satellite in case of the remote possibility it was more than that. It wasn't, and he wasn't impressed. I made a phone call, and maybe five minutes later, I saw another satellite coming from southwest, heading northeast to the same point that the first one was headed. I couldn't believe my luck --- I constantly watch the sky, constantly watch for satellites, and I'm lucky if I see one every couple of weeks or months. I decided to run to the baseball field across the street in order to get a better look at the satellite, somewhere where it wouldn't be obstructed by trees. I had to stop several times along the way so as not to lose my bearings on the satellite. When I finally got there, the satellite was fading out in the distance. Immediately thereafter, another satellite came from a more westerly direction, heading in the same direction as the other two. Three satellites in under 10 minutes? Again, I couldn't believe my luck. I called my fiancee, looking for another witness so I wouldn't think I was losing my mind again in one week. I watched this "satellite" for about a minute when it started to band to its right --- not subtly, drastically. Then it stopped --- just stopped dead for about 30 seconds. It then started up again at an even greater speed, travelling northeast again now. At one point, it appeared as though a little flash came off of it, perhaps blue/purple like a flash of lighting at night? though relegated to the area directly beside it.

That was two nights ago. Last night, I spent hours with my fiancee looking at a clear sky for satellites. I did see one, moving west to east, but it disappeared before it even passed over us. This seemed a lot more normal, but I am completely uneducated as far as satellite flight paths go.

On another note, my first time accessing this website was on Friday. I was more than shocked to learn of the alarming frequency at which people see black triangular "craft", especially in groups of three, especially with a haze around it. My first clue was actually seeing it in person. One particular liting from Chicago has the witness mentioning that it looked like a kite, which was my first instinct, but there is no possible way these are one kite, let alone 3 --- not at these altitudes, not at these speeds.

Do satellites act like this? What is up with these black triangles? I would love to know more from whomever can supply the knowledge.

Planet-like spherical light in area where no planets should have been

My brother was driving me home from work and I was looking out the window at the stars because the sky was nice and clear. In the northwest I could see the constellation Cassiopeia and underneath it, approximately 10 degrees above the horizon was a amber colored spherical light. It was larger than a star and wasn't moving so I assumed it was probably Mars. The light was slowly fading and getting brighter like thin clouds were passing in front of it, but I could not see any clouds in that direction. As we drove along it became obscured by trees, and I lost sight of it. I didn't really think it was unusual until I checked 2 separate sky maps and there were no planets in that area on the maps. The object was somewhere between the constellations Andromeda and Lacerta. An airplane flew past approximately 5 degrees above the object, but I'm not sure whether it was at the same distance as the sphere. I told my brother there was something in the sky, but he missed it because the trees hid it when he turned to look.

Bright white flash and strange whirring sound on clear night

A friend and I were taking a walk outside at around 11:15 pm. We stopped for a minute and were standing in the middle of the road talking, when the whole sky lit up for about a second with bright white light. Neither of us saw any object or meteor, and the light came from the west. The moon was shining in the southwest, and the flash was brighter than the moonlight. We noticed there were no clouds anywhere in the sky, and ruled out the possibility of lighting because of that and the fact that we didn't hear any thunder afterwards. We did, however, hear a strange whirring or buzzing for about 4 or 5 seconds immediately following the flash. We walked in the direction the light came from and up a hill to see if we could see any objects in the sky, but we didn't see anything else. I don't know if it's relevent, but my ears started making random clicking noises soon after we saw the flash and have been doing so now for about 4 hours.

Green light streaking vertically towards Lake Michigan

A friend and I were sitting on the beach, talking and having a cigarette, at approximately 11:30 p.m. In mid sentence he said, "Hey! Look at that!" so I quick turned my head and observed a bright green light descending rapidly in a straight vertical line. The light faded before reaching the water, and travelled a distance of approximately 2 hand lengths with arm extended. It did not "explode" like a firework or a boat flare normally would. There were no boats visible on the lake at the time, and it was too far over the water to have been a firework launched from the shore. We also did not hear any sound come from the object.

It's possible that it may have been a meteor.

To sum it up,hmmm....what was it?

Well I'm always up all night and I only smoke outside,so it was just before 4:00AM,as I was lighting my ciggarette it kinda caught my eye(I like looking at the stars,but I'm not literate to the field)anyway I figured it was a star twinkling,it was east of me what seemed at least 1 mile away and at medium altitude(mabe small plane average)and it was a blue light above a white one,the white brighter or bigger.I didnt hear any aircraft around and that's when I noticed what seem to be little red lights sort of ringing the bigger blue one because the blue light seem to lean over and the white one(beneath it)went evenly the opposing direction.I could see like a straight line between the blue and white when they did this.It acted like an axis smoothly to my right twice,that's when I saw the red lights. All this being said one final note,all the lights and straight line seemed a sort of blur as if the object was spinning,the line might have been the shadow casted from the white and blue lights on the object when it leaned(the line not being true in appearance),but uprighted seemed to disappear along with the red light(s).To finish,I was getting cold and done with the smoke and honestly I didn't want to believe what I thought I had seen,perhaps being slightly affraid.HEY WHO KNOWS? MOST THINGS CAN BE EXPLAINED AND THOSE THAT CAN'T ARE ONLY PONDERED ON.

Pulsating Light That "dances" across the sky

At 22:15 - Sunday, May 4 I was outdoors and noticed a bright pulsating light "dancing" overhead (soutwestern sky). Dancing means that this object maneuvered qucikly left and right, at one point appearing to backup. As best I could tell there was no sound. I called my wife outside and she witnessed a more subdued motion as the pulsating light moved over the house and continued northward. The size of the object was not readily determined - close and small or far and large - but the strobascopic nature of the light reminded me of an episode on Discovery - a light powered disk (laser pulses for propulsion). The craft however must have flown a considerable distance, even if it was small and close. The movements were quciker than any plane I've ever seen and the path was erratic and to the best of my knowledge beyonf the scope of any publicly known aircraft. The fact that there were no military planes scrambled or pursuing this "craft" made me think that it was some sort of military machine.

At first glance I thought it was a shooting star but it caught my eye and moved in a straight line and seemingly not with the curvature of the Earth. It was unlikely that it was a plane because of the way it disappeared and there was not a cloud in the sky. The sky was clear. Although I'm willing to admit that it could have been my eyes playing tricks on me, I've observed many a shooting star and it was very uncharacteristic.

Reported: 2002-05-13 21:34 Pacific
Duration: 8-10 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Holland, MI, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object

A craft with three lights on the rear creating a triangle cruising across the sky before turning around to the north and disappearing.

I saw two very powerful lights coming from what appeared to be the back of some sort of craft. It was in the sky and maybe about 600 feet from the ground. The lights resembled a pair of very bright car headlights. The craft was heading south and to the west a little. I was driving at the time, heading south, and was on a road with very little traffic, so I could speed up and try to get closer to it. I sped up to try to get closer and it appeared to be slowing down. I kept watching it and when I became parallel to it I pulled over and turned off my car. The lights were coming from the back of the craft and there were no lights on the front. There was a less bright light above the two, creating a triangle of three lights. It was making some noise and the closest thing I could compare the noise to was a high pitch radio frequency. I watched it briefly and after about 60 seconds it slowed almost to a stop. It began to go straight up and turn directly around and went towards the north again. I tried to follow it again and it quickly drifted to the west and I no longer could see it.

I, the observer, have never previously seen any objects I believe to be ufos first hand. I was not on any hallucinogins or drugs at the time of the sighting and I am convinced that what I saw was definately real - I wasn't just imagining something.



NUFORC Note:

We spoke with this witness at some length, and we found him to be seemingly serious-minded and credible. Please see other report from Wisconsin for this date. PD

Sighting of a unidentified light or craft over Lake Michigan

Object appeared as a "Shining Star", but was moving. Used binoculars, and was flashing yellow, green, blue, and red colors. We were watching it through a opening in tress in our backyard. With the opening, we could gage that it was actually moving! we watched if for better than a hour. The first time we saw it, it was in the middle of the large opening of tree's, about 45 minutes later it was to the right side of the opening we were watching it through. It appeared as if it was hovering around. You could actually see it moving, but didn't actually leave that space in the sky. A plane would keep moving until it went out of sight. This stayed in that general area. The distance seemed to put it over "Lake Michigan".



NUFORC Note:

We note that the object is not inconsistent with a celestial body in the night sky. The witnesses were looking to the west over Lake Michigan, so any celestial object in that area of the sky will appear to move generally from left to right. PD

Low flying "cloaked" triangle

When I was about 13 my dad and I, along with some companions were travelling north-northeast of Pipestone, MN. The sun had set but there was still some sunlight, some stars were shining, it was a clear sky evening.

As we were traveling I looked out my windows and noticed what looked like a low flying aircraft headed towards us coming from the Northeast. As it got closer something about it seemed strange about it and I noticed it wasn't moving fast like an airplane should.

I tapped my dads shoulder and asked him "what is that?" He couldn't see it from where he was in the car so we pulled over onto the shoulder and my dad and I got out of the vehicle. The other 2 with us remained inside.

The craft got closer and I could see it was triangular in shape with a point of light on each point of the triangle. As it flew over us we looked up at it and I noticed that within the perimeter of the "triangle of lights" I could see the stars on the other side of it but we're "wiggly" as though the light from the stars were distorted from heat distortion. This is why I call it "cloaked" like from Star Trek.

This craft moved extremely slow. It was maybe 200-300 feet above us and was rather big. It also moved very slow. I could have ran faster than this thing was moving. It gave out no sound, no jet engine, propeller, rotor sounds, nothing. It was completely silent.

After it flew over us we watched it continue off to the southwest as long as we could see it.

i went outside to smoke a ciggarette,i glanced to the west of my home.saw cluster of lights,elongated formation,some larger than others.with fiery trails,flew due west to east at the hight of a standard helicopter

they flew in a steady formation,in an elongated patern,due west to due east.at about the height and speed of a helicopter,they had fiery trails like from a bottle rocket orangeish, the trails didn't extend too far back of them,at first sighting of them i thought it was a larger type fireworks,like a buzzing bee rocket.the lights were white with the burning,fizzling out trails...there were appoximate 7 to 10 lights kinda like star shaped,the lead one was a little bigger than some of them and a few even smaller still,they bulged out from the lead one in a kinda elongated skinny diamond patern.irregulary spaced apart. giving an estamated size,i would say ,if you were looking up at a standard, one of our local hospital lifeflight helicopters,it would be about 10 of them back to back,they flew at a steady pace straight and true no deviations...i'm a 42 year old jeep factory worker with 23 years seniority.i've never seen anything remotely like this.i;ve seen meteors,airplanes at night,comets etc...this was the coolest thing i've ever seen ...i was outside smoking a cigg.because my non smoking in-laws were on our computer with my wife showing them something... :) :) :)

I saw the bright light slowly streak in the sky and it turned around and went back in to space and disappeared.

We were lighting off fireworks and I looked in the sky and saw a bright light moving very slow and I said look a UFO and two other people saw it and we watch it turn around and move away slowly disappearing into space! I would say that it was very far away!

bright flashing lights

my husband was sitting in a parking lot off m-40 in Holland, Michigan about 4am on the morning of Feb. 9, 1998. He saw real bright intense white light flashes. Too bright to see where they came from. Only lasted a brief second. Three flashes total. Can't remember if it was clear or cloudy skies. This is the second time he has seen these lights. We were outside about midnight back in July or August of 1996. Both times it was like someone had a flash bulb, the light is that intense, almost like lightning. Both times their has not been any thunderstorms or bad weather. Just wondering what this could possible be.

UFOs observed by multiple witnesses including a police officer and confirmed on radar at the NWS

I did not directly observe this event, but lived in the area at the time and thought it would be significant to note on your website.

911 operators received numerous calls starting at shortly after 10 pm from residents in the southern area of Ottawa county reporting strange lights in the sky that looked like "a string of Christmas lights". 911 dispatched police who also witnessed the event.

The 911 dispatch center called the National Weather Service to check if they had anything on radar in that vicinity, and they confirmed that they had unexplained "blips" on radar between 5,000 and 12,000 feet moving southwest near the Lake Michigan shoreline towards Chicago.

The radar showed the "blips" intercepting and moving apart into multiple returns on the screen, and of a size on the screen larger than that of normal aircraft. In total, UFOs were reportedly witnessed by over 300 people in 42 counties in Michigan between March 8-11.

Below are links to articles explaining the event in further detail, including a transcript of 911 calls from witnesses and the call to the NWS, and also an audio file of the actual calls.

I was surprised to see that no one reported it on your website, and believed it was significant. These sightings have never been explained.

NUFORC Note:

We are grateful for the report, and we are well aware of the case. In fact, Robert Gribble, founder and director of the National UFO Reporting Center at the time of the incident, was instrumental in the capture of the radar data of the objects over Lake Michigan. He called the National Weather Service, and recommended that they use their radar in order to detect the objects, which was successful. It was NWS radar operator who spoke with a Michigan Highway Patrolman, and both of them were looking at the objects, the patrolman visually, and the operator using radar.

Interestingly, there was a dramatic sighting of a presumed UFO over the University District of Seattle on the night of the event over Lake Michigan. Friends approached me that night in a coffee house, and proceeded to describe an intensely bright light, which they had seen for a few seconds, as it streaked overhead, and executed several sudden turns, then returning in the direction whence it had first come.

PD))
