Duration: 1 to 2 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Lansing, WV, USA

Shape: Circle
Color: White
Estimated Size: Can’t guess. Larger and brighter than all stars
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: 75 - 80 degrees
Angle of Elevation: 45
Closest Distance: Can’t guess. Seemed much lower than airplanes
Estimated Speed: Extremely fast. Like a meteor


Facing north looking up when large, fast-moving bright white “star” appeared at 1 o'clock darting to 11 o’clock then disappeared in tree

Could have been shooting star (speed similar to meteor) but no tail or “sparks” of debris breaking off. Popped into field of view. White light that appeared to pulse as if perhaps rotating. Flatter, rounder circle than a star or than the meteor I witnessed many years ago. Much faster moving and appeared much lower than the airplanes moving through the night sky. Moved in a straight line from north northeast to north. Happened so fast it was over before I could get any words out if my mouth. Disappeared as I was starting to blurt out, “Look at that!” Immediately I described it to the others I was with. We stayed outside for another 1-2 hrs but saw nothing else. We’re hoping to catch a glimpse of the northern lights but did not. Could have been later than 8:30 pm - perhaps closer to 9. Sky was getting dark but not yet fully dark.

Did CE5 (Dr Greer) Protocols Thursday night/Fri Am, Craft Arrived at my House Fri 830/9pm

Thursday, May 12th 2022, at approximately, 12 Midnight/ 1 AM, Friday, May 13th 2022, I conducted what Dr Steven Greer, Calls CE5 (You Initiate Contact, Contact Happens) Protocols. Which You play a series of Tones, Meditate, to make Peaceful Contact. Then Vector the Entity, Craft etc to your Location in your mind. Showing Earth then Michigan, then where I live. Not Even, 24 Hrs After Completing the CE5 Protocols....This UFO was spotted around 830/9pm Friday, May 13th 2022. That evening we grilled out. The Sun had just set, there was a Full Moon. That was located High in the Sky, and above the house, across the street from me. My Car was Parked in front of my home, and when i went into the road in front of my house(will include photos of location and how it was viewed.) To retrieve something from my vehicle, my children (2 girls 10 yr and 5 yr) followed me. Suddenly my 10 yr old(whom already have their own telescopes) asks Me if that "Star" is moving. And points up towards the moon. As I look, and try to focus in, bc the object was so high up, and parallel to the moon, I noticed IT INDEED WAS MOVING! I yell to my 5 yr old, to grab my Infared, Night Vision Binoculars, (that also takes pics and video) and I capture on video! This ufo decend from high above, and across the street from me, move to my front yard, then dipping behind the tree line. Then, even more unexpectedly, as the ufo went out of sight 2 all black helicopters were flying over my house. There was no flash on while video or taking pics. It wasnt reflection. It had no sound, and moved in ways no conventional aircraft could duplicate. It was a Sphere, that was white, but would turn a blue color in the middle. While vidéo inglese I called for my husband to come out and see this. Me, my husband and our 2 daughters witnessed the ufo! Pictures and video included. I would love for my story and video to be shared with as many ppl as possible, to awaken the rest of the population. Its not the first time I have seen a craft. My father is retired Major in Marine Corps. I was born and raised on military bases across the US including Puerto Rico.

Disk-shaped UFO with blinking red and white lights in the sky over Lansing, MI.

At first I thought it was just a plane, but then I realized there's no airport in the direction it was going toward; it was flying toward the ground on the Southside of Lansing, MI. It had no wings and made no noise. It was shaped like a disk and had two white lights and one red light. It was moving at a very fast pace. I tried to take a picture but was unsuccessful because of how fast it was moving. About an hour later, the other witness and I both felt vibrations coming from our house. Our dog started barking at the door so I went to check outside again and the UFO was in the sky again heading towards Holt,MI. I tried to take a video but it wouldn't show up on my camera at all.

A red blinking object hovering in sky and then moving erratically north to south. Object hovered, descended, rose and flew In circle.

My husband and I were watching the westward sky for fireworks. I noticed what I thought was a red twinkling star. The object then began to move in a slow northerly direction. My husband believed it was a plane. The object then stopped and hovered in place for about 10 seconds and immediately accelerated and traveled in the opposite direction. We watched while the object began to travel downward quickly. It then began to climb back upward and traveled in a large circle. It went back and forth, east to west, and north to south for the next few minutes. It dropped and rose again and then continued westward until it was out of sight. It kept blinking bright red the entire time.

On April 9th, at 7:05 AM I left from my home in Grand Ledge for work In Lansing, MI, by the Lansing Capitol Airport. Driving East on M-43 past M-100, past Nixon Road, and at just past Upton Road I noticed an odd rectangular shaped cloud at 10 to 11 o’clock. The cloud stood out because the rest of the clouds heading East where at the horizon and they all had a gray to purple color, time about 7:10AM. The clouds did not block the sun since it was rising in the East.

I thought the cloud was an airliner getting ready to land at the Lansing Capitol Airport because I thought the sun light was reflecting off the plane. As I continued to the stop light at N. Market Place Blvd, I decided that it was not a plane, but I thought how odd this cloud was, rectangular shaped but the edges and corners were not sharp rather cloud like and white in color. There was quite a contrast between the rectangular cloud and the clouds around the horizon. The sky above the horizon was clear except for the white rectangular cloud. The time was 7:16AM.

I drove on and got on 96 West and did not notice the rectangular cloud at all. I exited on Grand River Avenue heading East to where I work near the airport. I drove past the Marathon pumping station and noticed the rectangular cloud again. As I looked at while driving, I noticed that the cloud evaporated from the inside out. I thought this was a very odd phenomenon. I have never seen a cloud evaporate from the inside out before in my life. The time was 7:20AM.

No other airplanes were in the air. Is this a normal aerial phenomenon?

As I walked out of my gym with a woman I was personal training, she noticed that the moon was full and said look that moon is pretty, as I looked up. The white light raced across the horizon streaking in a straight line directly towards the moon, heading west. It was the fastest thing I ever seen in my life, it cleared the entire horizon in less than 3 seconds.

I was sitting outside last night, when 3 closely together red lights went overhead at times the red lights would change to green lights. What caught my eye is it was moving fast and smoothly with no sound.

It stopped and hovered then shot straight up in the sky, but not too much higher I could still see it, and sat there for a few more minutes.

I tried to record it on my phone, but didn’t realize that the record button didn’t turn on. I did, however, record it leaving. It started to move in one direction, as if it was leaving. This time, it flew slower than when it first came into sight.

I heard no noise coming from it, the sky was clear, and it just hovered there.

I went back inside and got my cell phone to take a picture. When I had my cell phone up to take the picture, the lights shimmered and it was gone before I could take a picture.

Two low flying/ hovering crafts. Hovering at low altitude as we aproached. Took off flying as we drive under them.

One continued east, while the other hovered right above US 127 S. as we drove over the Clark Rd. overpass.

Drove pursuing the other end that headed East, we turned south on Chandler Rd., and again saw it hovering. Again, as we aproached, it took off. This time headed West.

These were not drones. They were large and low.

Flashed similar to what a plane would, with the exception of one very bright, yellow colored light that turned on and off intermittently.

My family and I were out stargazing and noticed a small white light in the sky. We watched it for about twenty minutes.

We then saw a triangular UFO with red lights fly up from the ground to hover next to the white light. The red light triangle UFO then flew towards us and I snapped a picture.

Two whitish, yellow lights were following each other with no noise.

Two ufos were following each other heading from the west to the east. They were whitish yellow lights, the shape could not be determined but the lights were somewhat circular. The first UFO was leading, moving left to right with the second one following (not perfectly) what the first one was doing.

They were probably about 2,000-4,000 feet high (definitely lower than the clouds, which were altocumulus clouds, I think and lower than planes). There was no noise.

At first I thought it was two birds following each other with the sun reflecting off of them but it was too late for the sun to be a factor and they were traveling way too fast. Also, it was too late for birds. At the time I was in my back yard with a clear view of the sky.

Weird.

Bright light, intense heat noise over Lansing MI

At approximately 0400 03/20/15, I felt my house shake. At first I thought we were having an earthquake.

Following the shaking, sounds similar to video games appeared and this in turn was subsequently followed by a white, bright light and intense heat. The light went through my bedroom window (which has super thick curtains in it) and I felt like it was burning me, similar to how one would feel when sunburned. This sensation lasted maybe 3 minutes after whatever flew by my window had passed.

I also felt like g-forces were being pulled down on me as it went overhead.

Then shortly thereafter, I heard what sounded like video game noises and this huge bright light shown through my bedroom window (despite there being dark curtains).

After the bright light, there was this intense heat emitted and I literally felt like I was being burned.

The entire episode lasted maybe 2 minutes, at the most, but it was the strangest thing.

Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

Three lights forming a triangle, appeared after the hospital helicopter took off from the roof and headed south east.

I remember it like it was yesterday. I was working in the parking ramp booth, when suddenly I heard the helicopter overhead. I a lways like to watch it take off from the roof and fly either west to a hospital in Grand Rapids, MI, or south east, to a hospital in Ann Arbor, MI. This time, I didn't catch it in time to watch it fly from the roof. Instead, I quickly poked my head out the sliding glass window, and watched as it flew over my booth, heading south east, to Ann Arbor, MI. However, once I looked to the immediate south, I noticed three bright lights, or orbs, forming a perfect triangle. This triangle appeared to be watching either me, or the helicopter. Once the helicopter flew so far, that it was hardly visible, the triangle of lights, one by one, disappeared. This all happened on a bright sunny summer day.

I have always wanted to report this, but never had the time to . Today, I stumbled upon this site, so I said, "why not do it tonight".

I can draw you a map, as well as an illustration of the objects, then send them via email.

I so wanted to take a picture with me cell phone, but every time I tried, another car would pull up to pay for parking.

Bright ball of light, made no sound, and changed direction, in away you don't see of any air plains or helliocopters do.

I can tell you this! This is not my first time seeing a U.F.O, nor do i think it'll be my last.

I came out onto my porch, looking towards the power tower with the blinking red light on it (for the plains). All of a sudden, I see a big bright light come from over the trees! I watched it from a sitting point of view start to go to the right of the top of the trees. Going slow. (I say slower then a plain) Then i stand up, and could see it got higher by measuring it with the power lines. Then the U.F.O changed directions and started to head towards me. I should have seen it almost pass close enough to our building, but it dissaperred in the trees.

It didn't make seance to me. So this is when i decided to contact you. It never made a sound. Just too bright of a light that was not like of a helliocopters or plains light(s).

Observed what appeared to be a ball of orange fire that made no sound travel from south to north over my home for 3-4 minutes duration.

On Saturday, August 25, 2012 at about 2050 hours I saw a large ball of flames travel from south to north over my home in Lansing, a south suburb of Chicago. I was standing in my driveway talking to my neighbor’s son when I observed the orange ball coming from the south. All I could see at first was the orange ball, which appeared to be in flames. The height and speed appeared to be the same as a plane heading to either Midway or O’Hare airports. There was absolutely no engine sounds at all, which would be audible if it were a plane going over head at that height. I had my binoculars because I had just watched the ISS go over my home from west to east about ten minutes prior to spotting the fireball. I watched the ball continue north and suddenly the fire seemed to go out and I saw a dark figure in the sky where the flames went out. I could see this flameless dark figure for about 15-20 seconds and then I could no longer see it. My neighbor’s son took! a photo of the object with his telephone. I would estimate that the object was visible for 3-4 minutes total.I am a 61 year old retired police officer & my neighbor’s son is around 40 and works for a park district near Denver, CO.

We saw two sets of two orange glowing lights travel from the north to south direction followed by a gray craft.

We saw two sets of two orange glowing lights travel from the north to south direction of Lake Cayuga, these were followed by a gray round ship that had very small intense red light circling the bottom of the craft.

The first set of two lights traveled together as a pair and traveled across Myers Park where we were watching the fireworks show and went out of site into a cloud. At first we thought they were helicopters with search lights on, but as they went over our heads and they did not make any noise we thought differently. The second pair of lights traveled in the same direction but this time they hovered over the park then vanished just below the big dipper.

The fireworks ended and people were leaving the park. We were discussing what we saw when a gray craft flew overhead and was very low to the ground (100 feet or so). It was difficult to discern its shape but the red light that circled the bottom of the craft clearly showed that the object was round. It went over the trees and out of sight.

None of the crafts made any noise.

It was a white/blue flash, almost like a strobe light lasting only a second. It only happend twice but was very bright and were seen in the same area of sky.

Fleet of orange lights crosses the night sky

I was driving east down a main road when I looked to the north and saw a strangely colored (what I thought) was a star. It had an orange glow and was the brightest object in the sky. It seemed stationary, and so I was very perplexed at this object.

I turned onto the next side street, and immediately realized the object was moving east. I exited my vehicle and watched as it crossed the sky when suddenly two more lights just like it entered my plane of view. They were moving at similar speeds and in the same direction. These lights were followed by more; a set of three, one more behind it. If these were crafts, this was a fleet. I took a video of the sighting on my phone, but the quality is very poor (watch at

http://youtu.be/DjsEt_M3S90).

Each object only appears as a speck of white light, and not the intense orange glow they actually had.

In total I would say there was anywhere between 10-20 objects crossing my line of sight over a couple minutes.

Orange orbs over downtown Lansing - Dec. 6 2011

I was driving north on Cedar Street, from Mt. Hope Ave to Interstate 496. Heading due north, I saw a group of floating orange orbs. It was the night prior to Pearl Harbor so my first thought was this was some kind of memorial with sky lanterns, except that the orbs seemed to be somewhat brighter than what would be generated by a sky lantern at night.

I turned onto eastbound Interstate 496 and did not see any more of the orbs.

I do not have a lot of information because I was in a hurry, but I saw a blackish cloud really high in the sky in downtown Lansing. At first I thought it was a helicopter dumping something in the air, but as I stopped for a second to look, it wasn't moving. The black cloud-like shape remained there. Unable to stop much longer I kept moving and looking back. As I drove out of the parking ramp and looked back to see if it was still there, it had disappeared.

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted other objects

Seven or eight red orange lights moving slowly making no sound.

First off I would like to say that I am colorblind, so I’m not so sure about the color but I would have to say that they where an orangeish-red.

Anyway, I am an overnight janitor that works all over Lansing throughout the night going from account to account. At about 10:20 pm I had pulled up to an account roughly on the corner of Fairview and Grand River. I had backed my truck up so that I was facing north as I always do when I received a phone call from my boss. The conversation went on for about ten minutes (about 10:30pm now) I noticed the first object out of the corner of my eye. It was an aspirin-sized reddish light that was moving quite slow coming from the north-west just over the top view on the two storied building to my left moving vary steadily to the east. After about five seconds two or three exact same size and shape objects faded into view just in front of the first one, followed by another small grouping. All moving at the EXACT same speed and never breaking there formation witch was nothing really impressive.

At this time I interrupted my boss and was begging him to go outside and look to the north. He was at a location just southeast about a quarter mile from my location.

The objects, seven or eight total, never making a noise started to fade out one by one after traveling half way across the sky. By the time that the last one made it to the far right (north-east) of me, my boss finally made it outside and at least confirmed the sighting of the last one left. He confirmed the location and the color, but said that it was flickering before it diapered, and overall was not impressed. I on the other hand saw the whole thing and can say that not one of the objects ever blinked or flickered even once.

The whole incident lasted somewhere between thirty and sixty seconds, and the objects moved slow and very steady. In fact I can remember thinking that they may be helicopters, But once again, no sound at all, no blinking lights, and why would they fade in and out? I have very little knowledge of aircraft, spatial differences, speeds and heights of normal objects in the sky , But I can safely say that They where NOT Meteors. They did not move nearly fast enough or leave tracers or tails. I have seen my share of them. I also know that the direction that the objects came from was in the area of the Lansing international airport. So hopefully that will help in finding some answers.

I also drew a picture of the formation shortly after seeing the event, but I can't upload it because I don't have a scanner.

Three people in a car saw two lights moving at will and vary in brightness then fly away very fast.

This sighting took place in Lansing, MI on August 26th, 2010. There were three of us in a car heading west on Saginaw Hwy. Person 1 is sitting in the passenger seat, person 2 is driving, and person 3 is sitting in the middle back seat. It was around 8:40PM, the Sun was just under the horizon almost centered with the road no stars were visible yet. Person 1 noticed a light that was approx. 60-80 degrees vertical, and 100-120 degrees horizontal (90 degrees being centered with the road) which was really high in the sky and could be easily confused as a Star/Planet. At first it was thought to be Mars because of the reddish orange tint. Person 1 announced that there was a light in the sky when he noticed it was to close to be a star/planet, the other two started looking for it. Person 2 located the light, then the two noticed that the light was moving slowly flying in different directions at will and slowing down and resuming speed. They also witnessed it dim ! until not visible, then fade back in, then faded back out. Person 3 noticed the light fade back in while simultaneously the other two noticed another light higher and brighter than the original and getting brighter, thinking it was the original. At this point the three thought they were looking at the same light, person 1 and 2 kept saying, “ It’s getting brighter!” Person 3 noticed that he was looking at a different light because the one he was looking at was getting dimmer then disappeared then reappeared then he noticed they were looking higher up in the sky and had to lean forward to see the other light which was really bright. Then person 3 yelled, “oh! There’s two of them!” Person 1 noticed the original light, it took person 2 a little longer to find it because he was driving. We watched the lights move around, and vary in brightness then the brighter 2nd light started to head south, the other light soon followed they accelerated way faster than we had seen them trav! el previously, and as they flew they faded out. The 1st dimmer! light w as out of sight first. We were unsure if the lights were produced from inside or reflections of the sun. This all happened within a few minutes. We kept looking in the sky for the lights but never saw them.

Black cloud like objects with one or more white lights moving within and between the black areas.

These sightings actually began about six weeks ago. I have observed what would appear to be "black clouds" moving at will across the sky. Some will contain lights which move within the clouds and in the last couple of days, the lights have actually been moving from cloud to cloud.

Last week for the first time, the lights were orginally white within the black area, but then in one particular cloud, they started flashing red.

Again, tonight I witnessed the lights, several in one black cloud, change from white to red. Not all of them changed colors.

These clouds are located in the southern sky from my vantage point and will move both horizontally and vertically at will. There does not seem to be any particular pattern to them.

I have seen them almost every night and have tried to figure out if there was a pattern that could be explained, but it just does not seem possible that someone on the ground could be creating this activity since sometimes, several of the "black lit clouds" are moving in different directions at the same time, again with no pattern.

bright orange glitterly light travels across sky and then dissapears

My sister and were walking through our neighborhood and it was about 11:00pm at night. We were cresting a hill when I saw a strange bright orange/yellow glittering ball of light overhead just above the pine trees, high in the sky. It was very bright, as bright as a planet I would say. Certainly not as bright as an airplane might be. The strange light moved away at a steady slow rate and we lost it. We walked for minute more and then suddenly we saw it again! It was coming back in the opposite direction! We were so stunned by this we stopped to look at it and we definitely though this light was odd. It was glittering, bright orange and sometimes reddish in tint. We just stood there and watched it move silently, and slowly. It's flight was somewhat wobbly, even though it moved in a straight trajectory. After about a minute it became very dim, only a pinprick of light and then it vanished completely. Whatever it was, my sister was overjoyed she'd seen a ufo but I on the other hand was pretty shaken up. I've never seen anything like that before!

Blue light fell from sky downtown, no sound was heard

Walking my dog before we settled for the evening and saw a blue almost teal colored light fall from the sky couldnt have been too much more than a mile from me. Did not see where it landed due to buildings. Not flashing or fading as if it were a meteor. It was kinda hazy but the light lit up the clouds as it passed through. No sound was heard.

Meteor objects leading toward formation of triangle lights.

While driving to a local softball game near 9 PM CDT my friend and I saw what looked like a large and small meteor streaking across the sky, very high in the sky. As we continued to drive and follow the object we noticed an array of triangle shaped lights off in the distance...almost to where the meteor like object was heading. As the meteor objects faded into the distance, toward the horizon, the triangle formation of lights scattered very quickly in random like directions. As I turned onto a street heading toward the direction of the lights in the sky they were gone and the whole thing was over. We later, after the softball game, were listening to a local Chicago radio station, 96.3 FM, and heard people call into the station and tell the DJ (on air) that they had seen the lights or UFO's as well. This occurred between 8:45-9PM on Friday July 11th, 2008 near the town of Lansing, IL.

a red light, that going east, and all of a sudden, took off north and up at a hihg speed, gone in seconds

I and a friend (neighbor), were sitting outdoors, and seen a very bright red light comming from the west, going northeast.We Thought at first an airplane or helicopter, but could not hear sound of either, and looking closer, we could not see anything but the bright red light (not blinking) then it went behind a tree, so we watched it as it cleared the tree, Then it looked like it STOPPED, then all of a sudden it must have gone at a very high speed (going North) at about 2 o`clock, and it got smaller until it was gone, just about 4 seconds, at a high speed. I have never seen anything like it, I am 71 years old, it was not a balloon or fireworks,I can not explain what it was.

4 bright lights and 2 blinking red, dead silent and flying west VERY low very close to Lake Lansing from Wood St.

This was hidden by a hill that is 40 feet at its highest point, that is when I lost sight of it. I did not get a chance to see its shape, just the four big bright white lights. Again, this made NO SOUND AT ALL.

I did not get to see the shape of it.

I was looking North, object traveling West. Entirely too low to make the airport if it was hidden by a hill of that size.

Large, silent, solid black rectangle comes from the west, higher sky and swoops down overhead heading east

Delta township, West Lansing

I was 14 taking my two pups out one morning before school. It was roughly 6am or so and it was getting to that cold side of fall so I distinctly remember the sound of the crunch you get with leaves and frozen grass and whatnot as you walk.

Anyway we'd only been out about a minute or so and I don't know why, but I felt prompted to look up, facing west mind you. I see what looks like a thick black line. You know how when frost starts to form the darkness at morning or nightime gets a bit brighter? Its contrast against the nightsky was clear. I wasn't sure what I was seeing so I kept staring and the line seemed to get larger and larger; it was getting closer.

Now I was transfixed and couldn't look away. It seemed to angle up like it was swooping up and over (obviously kid me thankful it wasn't near crashing into my house) It was this big, featureless, and solid black rectangle.

What really astounded me was how absolutely massive it was. I mean HUGE. It's hard to figure size without knowing altitude and whatnot but I'd argue a hundred feet in width, and damn near a little over a football field in length--yet, silent as a graveyard. Not a sound. No lights, no noise, nothing. Eventually it was fully passing over me slowly and almost gracefully. I was never scared, I think I was too confused and bewildered to even get that point.

I remember I kept double checking to see or grasp what I was witnessing and kept noting how stars and clouds were disappearing behind it. This is what really anchored the idea of an object of there for me. It was solid. It glided over and I remember not being able to move my feet at all, just turning my head back as it vanished over the roof of my house like a ghost, headed eastbound. In an instant I felt sad. I desperately wish I had more time to look at it, but by the time I snapped out of it realizing how cold I was and going inside looking through the front window, it was long gone. I was straightedge at the time so no weed was involved I assure you. Didn't even own a cellphone at the time.

The most insane thing I've ever witnessed, burned into memory. I'd wager military aircraft most likely as they've already admitted stealth blimp tech to the public if I recall. But this wasn't any blimp I've ever seen then or since. Just a gigantic monolith silently passing over and vanishing into the sky. Absolutely bonkers man. Needless to say, school was very weird for me that day.

I'm over twice that age now and digitally paint in my freetime. So I whipped this up the other day as the anniversary (or somewhere around there) approaches. Hopefully it illustrates the scale well.

Red orbs over Lansing Michigan

Approximately 9:40pm on Saturday, August 1, 2007, I was traveling northbound on Aurelius Road in the vicinity of 84 Lumber when I spotted a round, red light to the east above Cottonwoods Campground. I pulled into the 7-11 on the corner of Aurelius & Jolly, got out of my car, and called to the attendant and customer in 7-11 to come outside and look at the sky. What I saw were 3 round, red objects about 50 feet apart traveling silently to the north in the area bordering Jolly Road to the south, Aurelius Road to the west and Dunckel Road to the east. The objects seemed to keep the same spacing between them, traveled in silence, and were not just merely floating. I would estimate their speed at 20-30 mph. The only description I can think of would be that they looked like red, Chinese globes that one might see in a Chinese restaurant or Chinese ornaments. There was the appearance of flickering light at the bottom of each object that I thought could have been a flame. As we watched, the flickering in the southernmost object disappeared, leaving only two objects that I could see. Those two objects continued north toward Lansing and disappeared from view.

Bright orange, teardrop-shaped objects at low altitude moving in a straight line.

We saw bright orange (like flame, not lights) teardrop-shaped objects moving roughly east in a straight line. On this evening we saw two of them approximately five minutes apart. The evening was still, but we could hear no noise coming from them.

They resembled hot air balloons on fire except they were traveling much too fast, at about the speed and altitude of a private plane. Also, the intensity of the light did not diminish as though something was actually on fire in the sky. They were far too slow to be meteorites.

Fireworks were going on about two miles west, or perhaps just finishing. These objects looked too large to be flaming debris.

Five days prior several of us saw three of these objects over about an hour's time. Sky/weather conditions and description were as above, except no fireworks were going on.

I saw a UFO in the early morning.

I woke up to my dog whining to go outside at about 6:12 A.M. I let him out of my front door and I looked up and did a double take. I saw a disk-like shaped object flying in the sky. It had many light on the underside,about ten. Two of them were red and the other lights were white. The object was very metallic looking. I know it wasn't an airplane because it was too low to the ground and too large. Also none of the lights were blinking. I saw it flying to the south. I froze and stared at it as it dissapeared into the clouds. I am convinced that it was a UFO.

Flaring star: star got brighter 4x that of mars) and then faded gradually to nothing 2 times

I do not know that this was a 'craft'. I saw a bright 'star' in while looking south just after sunset. It looked like venus at its brightest and maybe a little more. It could not be venus because it was too high up in the sky. As I watched it grew in brightness and then faded away to nothing. As I was trying to figure out what had just happened (was it an airplane high in the sky with the recently set sun reflecting off of it?), the 'star came back in what seemed like the exact same position. It grew in intensity once again over a 5 second period. shown brightly, but not quite as brightly as the first one, and then dimmed to nothing. I waited for a minute or two to see if it returned, but no. No lights, no airplane lights, no nothing. there were no trails or streaks. If it had been a meteor or space junk upon reentry, it must have been on an in line trajectory with my position because there was no evidence of lateral motion.

long object over Lansing, MI

traveling eastbound on Saginaw , I was west of downtown Lansing about 1.5 miles or so. I saw something traveling southbound over the trees and I would estimate that it was just east of downtown lansing. I looked very long and short like a rectangle but could have been any shape as I was viewing it from the side. Lansing has an airport here and I see small and large commercial planes but this had no features like they do, just rectangular with a sort of structure to it, like a triangular framework like steel beams or something.

It looked like it was on a downward angle but going away from the airport and it traveled very flat and quickly for its size. The 747's that I see seem to float along and this was moving probably 4 or 5 times faster than that. It appeared closer to the ground than commercial aircraft too. I was driving my car and couldnt get much more than that, I didnt want to cause an accident. It disappeared behind the treeline and the GM plant there. Perhaps I could go there and take a picture and then illustrate where it was in the sky and how long it was.

I guess thats about it for what I can say about it.



NUFORC Note:

We spoke with the witness at some length, and we found him to be quite eloquent, sincere, and seemingly quite credible. We would welcome reports from other witnesses. PD

Seen with the naked eye this object looks like a star. We see this "star" almost every night about the same time but it leaves at different times. It will stay from 45 minutes to two and a half hours. It always comes from the west and it returns to the west. My friend says she has been watching this "star" for seven years now. When seen through a telescope, this object has several colors, blue, green, yellow and the center is red.

Something burning up in the morning sky?

I was walking to work in the morning. I walk about 6 blocks east. I am looking into the sun as it is rising, very orange and pleasant to look at. In the sky about 40 degrees or so above the horizon I see an contrail. It caught my interest because of all the chemtrails, but this was very high, like a real contrail. I thought it was a jet out of selfride air national guard base most likely. The contrail wasnt very long, but the object glowed orange like the sun. I figured the jet was shiney and reflecting the rising sun, but then it disappeared along witht he contrail. I then noticed a second contrail like the first but south a bit from the first. It was doing the same thing, then glowed the same and disappeared. This was likely something entering the atmosphere, like meteorites or perhaps it was a couple jets. It seemed odd for them to just disappear along with the contrail, and the contrail seemed short if it was a meteorite burning up. I thought I would post this and see if anyone else saw it or knows what it was.



NUFORC Note:

Report seems to us to be reminiscent of normal contrail activity. PD

Seen something that was not a helicopter or a plane , too low, too silent, no sound, the damn thing hovered. Planes don't do that.

Coming home in a west direction seen like headlights flickering back and forth, turned into apt. complex followed going east and then lost it for a second seen it again hovering above entrance to the apt. complex, somehow it went from east to west in a matter of seconds, hovered for 30 seconds. Then took off and went southwest very quickly, mind you ther is no sound at all, seemed to disappear in to like a fog because the clouds lit up for a split second and it was gone. red lights white lights and a square light. very bizarre.

It appeared from the southwestern sky and dropped very slowly into the south-southeast horizon.. slower than any meteorite but faster than an airplane.

I was driving my vehicle up a ramp westbound when something caught my eye to the south-south-east. It was too large to be a meteorite and though it moved slower than one it moved much faster than an airplane. It then dropped below sight. It was a white ball of light.

Summary : I was outside letting my cat in the house when I saw some strange lights through the trees.I got a better look and it was hovering somehow.

I saw these lights outside my house in the middle of the night. this weird looking craft which was extremely bright. was hovering. I saw it at about 500ft.! I could feel intense heat coming off of whatever it was. Then it just bolted out of there..and appeared in a different part of th sky. I didnt believe myself it happened.. So i just left it alone,but I keep on remembering how bright it was and how still and quiet it was,but it was so bright and hot.

Shape: Orb


Observed hundreds of clear orbs in the sky appearing to be looking at me.

I am 38 years old now and have been troubled for years over what I experienced at the age of 19. My boyfriend and I parked at a rest area off at I-75 in Lansing, Michigan. We stopped there to make out, talk, etc.

After being there for about 5 minutes, we suddenly noticed hundreds of iridescent free flying circular clear orbs that came closer and closer to our car. They seemed to be observing us. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. They came as close as only 10 to 20 feet away from the car. At that time, I became very afraid and we left the rest area. As we drove off, we could see them flying back up into the sky as we got back on I-75.

This has been driving me crazy for years now, as I am a very logical and scientific person. I haven't told very many people of this event because I know most people won't believe me, but still after all these years I think about it at least once a week. I am glad to finally share my extremely bizarre event that ha! ppened to me.

To this day, I can't find anything on the internet that can relate to my happenings. Over the years, I have wondered if this could have been a paranormal event rather than an alien experience. If anyone out there had this happen, please let me know. I feel so alone with this and will take it to my grave wondering. I just want to know what this was.

I like to look at the sky, I see things ,this is one . I was in the southern to middle part of town waiting outside of a friends house for my wife as we were leaving and just looking at the sky when I notice a dark object lit by the city lights float by for about 15 seconds before it disappeared in the dark. I t was retangular and had distinct sections best described as the sections of a large tootsie roll or less like but similar to a train. It had no wings or lights. It silenty and smoothly when by almost overhead west of where I was. I would estimate the size by the amount of light to the duration to be larger than a train box car. I'm no whacko and i saw it clearly & am happy to finnally have a chance to report it, thank you.

This was on a clear sunny day and i don't think there was a cloud in the ski.It was a gray silver in color and had no lights. As i watched it took off from a stand still to out of sight in just a second or two. it shot up at slight angle went straight for an airliner flying over head jumped over it and out of sight.i did point this object out to the people with me. they looked up at it and then put there heads down and kept walking. i did not speak of this for years but have always remember this.My brother says he dosn't remember it and the friends have sence moved away.This happend a long time ago and my memory might be flawed, this is the first time i have relayed to anyong out side my familey amke of it what you will

Large saucer shape with rotating red lights..hovering slowly over treetops..no sound

My friend had been walking and watching this UFO float over the houses and trees slowly. I ran out to the street and asked what he was doing? He replied, "watching that". I was amazed at two things. 1) My friend wasn't at all excited. 2) How big this thing was moving slow with no noise.

We watched for a minute or so till we could no longer see it. The UFO was only a couple hundred feet away and just over the treetops and houses. Looked like a red disc with red lights rotating. I ran to get someone else but it was gone.

We called the police right away and then heard the police helicopter fly over the house very fast.

This sighting was documented in two articles by the Lansing State Journal where other eye witnesses, including patrolmen on the ground and the Lansing police helicopter unit, which followed it till it disappeared at a high rate of speed behind our State Capital.

extremely high altitude, medium bright light emitting faint, glittery orange streaks in all directions

I’ve always been reluctant to outright accept the existence of extraterrestrial aerial craft, or UFOs. Even after seeing something a little strange when I was a kid that I’ve never really been able to explain. I think I was about 14 or 15 (it was a long time ago, maybe 1970 or 71). It was mid-Summer in my home town, Lansing, Michigan, and my best friend and I were playing softball with some other kids at the neighborhood school ground. When it started getting too dark for softball, we walked back to our street. When we got to my house, the stars had just begun to come out. I went in the house and grabbed a couple sodas and went back outside. We both laid back on the grass of the front lawn next to the driveway, looking up into the sky. At the same time, we both saw a stationary point of light that was a blue-green color. It wasn’t overly bright, but it was larger than any "star" I had ever seen, so it was distinctly noticeable, yet it seemed to be way, way up there amongst all the other stars. I would estimate (from memory) that a bee-bee held between the thumb and index finger at arm’s length would represent the visually perceived size of the object from the ground. Anyhow, we watched it for maybe fifteen minutes. During that time, it wasn’t doing much, other than pulsating slightly (twinkling). Then, we started seeing faint orange glittery streaks of light shooting from it. I remember saying something like, "Woah! Check that out!" and my friend said, "Yeah, man, I’m seein’ it too!" They were shooting out from the object in all directions, and each streak ended in a tiny white sparkle, except for some of them that seemed to be actually impacting smaller "stars" surrounding the object, as if it was shooting some sort of weapon at them. To a couple of imaginative teenage boys, this was pretty exciting stuff. But even then, I remember thinking, maybe it’s a satellite, or some other man-made spacecraft, and the streaks shooting from it are booster jets being used to man! euver the object or reposition its orbit. If only I had a telescope. The streaks were like fireworks right after they’re launched, when you can just make out a faint spark trail as they shoot through the sky before they explode. In fact, the scene was kind of like a miniature version of the finale of a major fireworks display where they shoot off a whole mess of fireworks all at once. This "stellar battle" lasted for another fifteen minutes or so, and then the thing simply blinked out. Just like that. It was gone. We told everybody we knew about what we had seen, and I’m not sure who believed us and who didn’t. Like I said at the beginning of this accounting, I’m a little skeptical about things like this. I’ve always figured that what we saw probably has some perfectly normal, "down-to-earth" explanation. (Not that I have any clue what that might be.) (???) Anybody else ever seen anything similar?

Two sets of lights blinking alternately.

My friend and I were laying in my front yard looking at the stars. We both grew silent and I observed what appeared to be two sets of lights alternately blinking. These were in the northwestern sky about 100 feet above the ground and maybe 1/4 mile away. After about 5 minutes, something prompted me to get in the house. At the same time we both jumped up and ran inside. We were 10 and 8 respectively. I never knew how to describe it until I saw a similar video on the history channel. In that video the craft was round with a row of lights around the middle. There was the same alternate blinking of two sets of lights.

Silent light darts to avoid collision.

I was walking my friend home through an open field. We were 10 and 8 years old respectively.

As my friend walked 5 paces ahead me, we both stopped and turned simultaneously to watch a small white light appear to be moving down a driveway about 1/4 mile away. There was no sound.

As the light reached the end of the driveway - a declining angle - it rose over the house directly opposite the driveway and proceeded toward the water tower next to the men's penitentiary. It looked as though it would crash into it when it darted 30 feet to the left (a straight move, not curving away) and continued forward.

That is when my friend and I both ran to her home. Up to that point neither one of us had spoken and when my friend reported the incident (I was listening) to her aunt, it was the same words that were formulating in my mind.
