I went to let my dogs out and have a smoke. The moon was bright, high above my yard and the sky was clear, I could see all of the stars. To the “south” of my yard, I could see what appeared to be a pulsing light, right above the distant tree line.

I watched it for a couple of minutes, and it seemed to be moving, yet not as fast as a plane. I called the dogs back in as soon as I saw that it was rising yet becoming clearer. I wanted to turn the outside light off and watch without worrying about them, which is exactly what I did.

I stood on my front steps and watched as the pulsing became brighter, and the closer it came, the more defined the beams surrounding it became. It was the most beautiful thing I think I’ve ever seen. There was the pulsing center, sure, but I could see what looked like a row of blinking dots that ran horizontal and the beams were varying colors, rainbow almost, with white rays mixed in along the bottom. The colored beams were separate, and went in all directions.

I wondered if I was witnessing the death of a star, until it started weaving from side to side, and what appeared to be back and forth, upward and downward, slowly. Almost as a seagull does against the wind, trying to stay in one spot. I went inside and woke my son up to confirm what I was seeing, and he definitely saw the colors, the pulsing that was different from the blinking lights in the middle. And, promptly went back inside wanting nothing to do with it.

I brought my female dog back out and walked to the end of my yard attempting to get a picture on my phone but the distance was too great for the quality of my device. While trying to do so, my dog started to whine, whimper, and slightly growl. Her fur stood completely on end, and she leaned her shoulder into my knee.

What I’m about to share might have me sounding like a complete lunatic, but, honestly? I’d rather everyone think I’m nuts than not share it.

She was looking over at our neighbor’s yard, and when I turned to see, there were three sets of eyes looking back at us. About my height, I immediately assumed deer. These were no deer I have ever seen. They turned to “run”, and they were far from anything I’ve ever seen, except for mutations shown in movies. They were hunched over, their heads more in front of their bodies, and they “loped” in almost an orangutan fashion. They were FAST. They appeared fur-less, and an odd brownish color.

My dog started to run after them, and the last of the three “creatures” stopped, turned, and looked directly at my dog. My dog halted, and LAY DOWN. I called to her, and the sound of my voice caused the shiny eyes to turn away, and off it went with the others. My dog remained stationary until they were out of sight, and then bolted toward the door to the house, with me right behind her.

I locked the door, looked out the window, and the pulsing light was still there, but moving south west without the colorful beams…I know it makes me sound crazy, and I don’t care. If these creatures weren’t related to that light in the sky, then I’m one lucky girl to see both things! However, my dog will not go out alone now, so I think we may have been far luckier than we know.

Very Frightening Event! 12/12/12 10:43 pm

at approximately 10:43 pm my wife and I were getting ready for bed when the house began to shake. we both went downstairs and thought the woodstove had caught the house on fire. The noise got louder and we realized it was above our home. we both exited home and looked up. A large round object fairly low to the tree line was hovering for about one minute. A very bright red light triangular in shape was emitting from it. We then heard to booms and two jets raced at amazing speeds toward it. one jet hit the afterburner and went straight for the object then broke away from it at a hard right angle. the second jet circled it . The object then moved quickly away from our home. The jets then gained altitude and flew a straight line toward mt kearsarge. We did nor sleep well after this event. THIS WAS SCARY for us both! We both agree this occurance appeared that the jets were engaging on a UFO. we thought we were under attack. news next day said air force! out of mass was doing late night manouvers practice. It was clearly a scramble but the UFO was so loud!!!

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

Object appears on fire cruising along in straight line.

My Dad saw a ball of what looked like fire in the backyard of my Aunt's house about 1/4 mile high. The flames were going up not trailing which is what was made it the oddest thing. Best way to describe it is it looked like one of those fake flame fireplaces. It went over the house. We ran out front to look at it more. It then stopped and went back towards the backyard and kept going off towards the north and just faded away. I t was not moving fast just cruising almost. No noise, no other lights besides the orange/yellow brightness of the object.

12 people all leaving Thanksgiving Dinner witnessed this. I was able to get one picture.

Occurred: 2012-04-29 21:02 Local
Reported: 2012-04-29 21:56 Pacific
Duration: two and half hours
No of observers: 3

Location: Hopkinton, MA, USA

Shape: Sphere
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

Spherical objects were observed moving slightly and had changed position multiple times over the course of a few hours.

At approximately 9:02 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Sunday April 29th, 2012, a bright light appeared in the sky west of the border of Hopkinton, Massachusetts, on North Mill Street. The light appeared to be a particularly bright star with other small glimmering lights underneath it and appeared to be approximately 40 degrees above a level horizon. Approximately three of the smaller lights were present and glimmered with purplish, reddish, or greenish tones respectively. The objects seemed to have a flowing but erratic motion with a small range, no more than a few degrees north and south and unknown degrees east and west.

Approximately 40 minutes later, at around 9:45p.m., the position of the object had changed approximately 11.75 degrees Northbound and had stayed at the same approximate altitude and distance from my vantage point. The smaller glimmering lights could not be accounted for at this point.

At approximately 11:45 p.m. the object was no longer visible. The object was not observed between the aforementioned times.

orange-red lights above tree tops

It was Wednesday the 11th of January, 2012.

I was in our house on the 2nd floor looking out the windows. My husband and I had been hearing these really loud jets in the sky for about a half an hour or so, so I went upstairs to see how close they were. I noticed the trails of the jets were all around the sky above our house.

I went outside to get a look at these trails. The trails did loops directly above our house on all sides. There were a few jets with blinking lights, around 7 doing maneuvers all around the sky in view.. The trails were heavy and hanging for a long time so I stayed outside and looked for awhile.

My husband had gone outside to the shed. I went back upstairs to check on the kids and looked out the window again, this time on the other side of the house (to the southwest). I saw 2 large orange-red orbs above the tree line. They were larger than the moon’s diameter . They were lined up at a 35% angle off the tree line. The craft made no sound.

They looked as if they were going to fly right at our house, so I gathered the kids and took them downstairs. I actually thought at first it must be a really large plane that was going to crash into the house, I was assuming it was traveling at great speed. When nothing happened I went back upstairs to look and they were still the same distance away but parallel with the tree line, they hovered there for a minute before turning off for less than a second then reappearing. When they reappeared one was in between the spots they had been and the other was to the left of it, the same distance apart. After a minute or so the lights just disappeared.

My husband was in the shed the whole time and saw the orange glow shining on the back wall, but was too low below the tree line to see the actual lights.

Since then nothing until last night. We had been hearing the jets again and as I was putting our son to bed at around 9:00 I checked the sky (to the west) and saw an orange-red glow above the tree line. It was further away this time. I called my husband up to look and we watched it glow bright, change color, fade to a speck and glow again. This happened for a few minutes and then it lowered into the trees out of our view.

Bright White Saucer Shaped Object Sighted At Tree Height

I'm filing this report on behalf of my wife. She was returning back after picking my son up from the sitters. When she got home and got out of the car she noticed a disk shaped object hovering at tree height over our property. She clearly spotted 4 windows on the object. The object was very brightly lit. The object was not making any sound. My son got out of the car and saw it too. She thought the color of the object was silver gray. My wife just rushed inside the house with my son and did not look back at the object as she was begining to get very aprehensive.

She also said that she had seen a bright white light en route home from the sitters but did not think much of it at that time.

Lake Maspenock sighting

I live on a lake on and I'm an early riser.

That morning I was about to enter on to my deck to have morning coffee.

Before exiting I noticed a a ray of light glistening on the lake ( like how a full moon would look).

When I looked up I noticed a large star looking object just sitting there like a star would but it much lower a little over the tree tops. My first reaction was to get my digital camerea but for some reason couldn't. I watched for about 5 min aware of my surroundings mesmirized by the whole thing I did notice that it had a grayish circle like image in the center . Just when I started thinking to myself if it moves I will be frightened then it did leaving slowly towards my direction and exiting over my house.All I could think of You don't want me!!! It sounded like a distant jet.

I havn't been able to think about anything since. I need to know if anyone else saw anything but I don't know how to go about it without looking ridiculos.I was a nonbeleiver but now I would be willing to be hypnotized and also take a lie dector test.

Can't figure out why I DID'NT take this picure of a lifetime. I will have to live with it the rest of my life.

Sincerely,

Unexplained light

At approximatly 2105 08/25/00 I went outside to smoke a cigarette when I noticed an object very high that resembled a star, but it was moving. There were no blinking lights on the object which would indicate that it was an airplane. The object came from the north an traveled towards the southwest. I listened for sound as the object moved away but there was none.I would estimate that the object had to be at a minimum of 30,000 ft.
