Duration: one minute
No of observers: 1

Location: Latham, OH, USA

Shape: Orb
Color: white
Estimated Size: softball to a basketball
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: south
Angle of Elevation: 45
Closest Distance: 0ne thousand feet
Estimated Speed: I have no idea


Saw a white orb in the sky, joined by two others, merged, grew larger, and darted south at incredible speed.

I was sitting on my front porch and looked up in the sky and seen a white orb to the south by the tree line it would go out and come on in a different place. I could see two more through the limbs on the tree. They were a little larger than softball size.

All of a sudden the two to the left darted into the one on the right and became about the size of a basketball. It took off dew south faster than any thing I have ever seen it was out of sight in a split second.

I am 73 years old and they fly jets over my house all the time. They cannot come close to the speed of that orb. I would like to know if anyone else has seen anything like this.

Large Strange Object in the Sky Above Trees

My brother and I took the dogs out in the evening and I looked up to the sky and noticed a foreign object. I shined my flashlight up towards the sky and saw a large diamond shaped object. It had colored lights around it's border and 2 (two) white spotlights on the front of the craft. The object turned around as if it were searching for the source of the flashlight. The spotlights of the craft lit up the entire backyard as well as 2 of our neighbors yards and houses. The craft was yellow in color. It turned back around after searching back for the source of the light and quickly disappeared into the night. The object was flying very low, just above the treeline in the back yard (approximately 50' off the ground). The object was about the size of a baseball field, in length and width. It had a center hump on the object. When the object disappeared there was nothing more than a small cloud of smoke. The object made no noise what so ever but when the spotlights on the object searched the grounds it made a "pshhh" sound. The grass didn't even look green, it appeared dead from the brightness of the lights.

Multiple UFOs Flying in 2 Triangular Arrows (Like Geese Flying South)

Possible UFO Sighting Saturday, December 12, 2009 18:28-18:35

I just returned home from work and pulled into my apartment complex, I stepped out of my vehicle and looked up into the sky. I saw two V shapes composed of roughly 10 individual UFOs each (like geese flying south). Each V would hold its form at the tip of the two arrows; but the back of each V (2 or 3 UFOs) would move randomly for a brief moment, and then return to the V.

I followed the Vs down my apartment complex street for as long at they were in sight. The UFOs moved slightly faster then I could walk.

A man was walking down the street at the same time I was, (going to the bus stop). He noticed the UFOs and tried to make conversation, but there was a language barrier. He spoke Spanish and I could not understand him.

I then returned to my apartment and wrote down the time, date and drew what I hade just seen.

I called the UFO hotline after looking up the number on my computer and filled out this report.




NUFORC Note:

We spoke via telephone with this witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sincere and sober-minded. PD

Duration: 30 Seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Latham/Watervliet, NY, USA

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

At 0427 hrs I went out to my car to get my soda. While in my car I saw out of the corner of my eye a bright light moving across the sky maybe 1000 feet off the ground.

So I turned to look at it thinking it was a plane landing at Albany International Airport. But the light was too bright to be a landing light and it was going in the wrong direction. Planes landing at the airport have to land either north to south, south to north or east to west. This was going west to east.

It looked to be a bluish-white Sphere.

I watched it for 20 to 30 seconds until it disappeared into the clouds above Troy, NY.

I don’t know what it was but my friend told me to report it so I am.

Large Black Diamond with a dim orange light at each corner moving steadily north up the Hudson Valley at about 3000 ft altitude

I am a 43 year old lawyer with excellent eyesight.

I was standing outside of my vehicle on an unlit area of a local steet in Latham New York. The location is near Latham Circle, and between Route 9 and interstate 87. The time was almost exactly 8:10 PM, as I was just about to attend an 8:15 meeting.

There is a fair amount of light pollution in the area, but the night was very clear and I had good visibility of the stars. For example, I had full visability of the Big Dipper. I am an avid sky watcher, and am accustomed to observing airplane traffic.

I was facing approximately East NorthEast. From my position, I was facing in the direction of the Hudson river, which was about 4 miles to the east, but out of my line of sight. Out of the corner of my eye I saw movement above and I looked up.

At an approximate altitude of between 2,000 and 4,000 feet, I saw a black diamond shape lit at each corner with a dim orange light. Specifically, one each of these four dim lights marked each point of the diamond. I will call these lights "corner lights." The lkights did not blink or flash.

The vehicle blocked the stars behind it as it passed with absolute silence, as best I could hear. Bear in mind that the area was fairly noise polluted. I was lucky to see it, as the entire presentation, while flatly unmistakable, was quite subtle. Neverheless, it was HUGE. I would say that it was a couple of hundred yards long and a hundred yards wide.

It was gliding to the North at a constant speed (probably about 100 MPH), and I believe that it was roughly following the Hudson river.

This next part is very interesting. There was a fifth, and possibly sixth light of the same size and color weaving between two of the leading corner lights. This more rapidly moving light spun apparently random circles and figure eights around the leading (northern) corner light and the around the western corner light. I have never seen anything manmade move with such speed and maneuverability in the sky as did this fifth light. All of the lights moved ahead together as a unified group, notwithstanding that there was internal movement within the group.

As I watched, and as the vehicle drew away from my position, all of the lights drew together into a tighter cluster, and then a very tight cluster, and eventually a single point of light that I lost among the stars and the light pollution.

This pulling together of the lights was not merely a function of increasing distance from my vantage point. I happened more quicly than that. A truly amazing, and awe inspiring experience. Please feel free to e-mail me if you would like further information.
