Saw 2 to 4 triangle craft with bright white lights on the angle tips

Traveling northbound on 371 1-2 miles south of Little Falls. We saw 2 large triangle craft with bright white lights on the angle tips on the west side of the highway over a field. At first I thought they were construction cranes because it was dark and they were so bright. They hovered slowly across the highway and I looked up and saw they were triangles. I saw dim yellow greenish lines like gills under one as they passed overhead. I was in a state of shock as we drove through town. Then 1-2 miles north out if town on 371, we saw the same pattern of lights on two objects moving faster than the previous ones. They crossed 371 heading east before disappearing behind the treeline.

Large shiny object high in the northern sky heading east.

I was watching a bald eagle flying from west to east in the northern sky when I noticed in the northern sky high above the eagle a shiny golden brown cylindrical shape with what looked like large black rectangles on the side! It went behind a pair of tall pine trees that were blocking my view and never showed itself again! I stayed out there for about a half an hour searching and searching but never saw it again. No sound and no jet stream! It was a sunny day with no clouds around! Now, I live right next to a large National Guard training facility but there was no activity to speak of that day! No airplanes and no helicopters! No movement of any kind! Never seen anything like it before!

Bright craft travels thousands of mph, in and out of view from Minnesota night sky.

I went outside while at work to vape, and stared at the stars like I always do, and out of the corner of my left eye, I saw something moving fast, very high in the sky. It looked exactly like a star, but it went all the way across the sky from all the way left to all the way right, until it vanished, continuing on its straight path, it went across the entire night sky in approximately 6 seconds, it was not a plane, or any kind of satellite. The speed of this craft was absolutely intense, it wasn't a shootting star or anything like that, because it moved so straight and at such a maintained speed. It was literally passing over dozens of stars every second. There were no flashing lights of any kind, it was at bright and the same size as the stars in the sky. It moved in a solid straight line, I am seriously still in shock. Wow.

Expanding green/blue light with strong but silent electric current cuts power off to building and street lights

I was dropping off a friend after dinner and as we closed our conversation, we noticed what appeared to be lightning in the sky on a rainy night. However, the lighting flash did not end immediately the way lightening does, and the sky was not white. Instead, we noticed the neon green lights to appear like a spotlight in the distance, converting the entire sky into a neon green/blue color.

As the lights turned brighter, there was an energy burst which shut off all the street lights and building lights like a domino effect. The lights restored two seconds after the energy wave burst. We kept looking back at the green/blue sky and quickly after the sky restored to its regular darkness. The building electricity resumed, but the street lights took three minutes or so to turn on after the event.

The event happened so fast and there was no audio whatsoever from the event.

Thought I saw a satellite right above me until it stopped and making turns in different directions.

Directly above. Thought it was a satellite until it stopped and moved almost opposite direction. Would stop periodically and change direction. This repeated for about 10 minutes above me. Then b-lined it northwest and made a L-turn west where it finally came to a stop and would move around and stop again and again like it did when it was above me. During this whole time it was changing colors from green, red, white, and yellow.

Also noticed 3 different aircraft moving towards it when the clouds started coming. My girlfriend saw it with me, I called my parents and they saw it.

I also called my brother who lives almost a half hour away and he didn't know what to think when he finally saw it after my directions on finding it. It was about in the 8 o'clock direction from the big dippers handle. It was very high in the sky. Like I said I thought it was a satellite but clearly it was not. I lost sight due to clouds moving in. I did take pictures with a 30 second shutter speed when it was out on the west until the clouds moved in.

Triangle shaped with 5 very bright lights 20-30' wing span, couldn't tell from how dark it was the back end shape as it flew over me.

Driving down hwy 10 heading south from Brainard, MN, I noticed 5 very bright lights just over some tree tops and didn't see it again for another 10 min then I seen it very clearly, maybe 200' off the ground going slightly faster than me at 65 mph. It went away and I took my next available exit where I seen it coming straight towards me.

I got out of my vehicle to watch it fly over my head. It was triangle almost boomerang shaped with a roughly 20-30' wingspan from my point of view, with 5 lights on the front like headlights on a car but very bright and big it was to dark to tell what the tail end looked like when it flew over me. The sound of it sound like someone going shhhhhhhhhhh quietly.

I'm not saying this thing was from outer space; I just couldn't identify this thing from anything I've ever seen. Maybe military?

Shiny disk shaped object broad daylight clear sky. 2 witnesses.

Was watching a jet fly at a high altitude talking about how the jet stream drops giving the appearance that the jet is gaining altitude. Blue sky with a few clouds.

Many feet below the jet moving the opposite direction a disc shaped object appeared traveling what looked to be faster than the jet. Appeared for about 5 to 10 sec then dissapeared. Not behind a cloud or anything.

Afterward,s not really believing what we saw, we watched the jet making the observation that we could clearly see the body and wings of the plane at such a high altitude, but this object had no wings just round disc shaped.

The sun did reflect off the disc if that is worth mentioning. Wish I would have taken a pic but was a little shocked.

To whom it may concern: Myself and one other person watched three unidentified flying objects flyby in a V shaped formation last night at approximately 21:15hrs Est. There general direction was from north to south.

The event lasted about 2.5minutes.

They looked like floating candles. They were yellow/orange in color. They moved a steady slow rate until out of sight. The objects never broke their V shaped formation. They never changed course.

There altitude was constant. There were other aircraft visible in the sky at different altitudes and different headings. The objects made no sound.

Best regards

The object is above our house every night since last Friday. It will probably be there tomarrow night too. It is red white and blue to the naked eye, but the camera did not pick that up. We have pictures. I am a Rutgers University graduate and I have studied meterology. This is not a radiosonde. It is somewhat cylindrical in shape. Most unusual. My entire family observe it every evening since it appeared 5 days ago. Every night between 6 and 8 in the evening we watch it. It will probably be there tomarrow night too.

I urge you not to waste time if you want to see this for yourself. I personally guarantee that you will be as dumbfounded as we are. This is truly a celestial mystery. I estimate the altitude to be at about 15,000 feet. My interest in this is purely scientic. I want to know the truth. Please contact me. I freely invite you to my property to see this.

It was a the size and shape of a soup can, it glowed candy-apple red, and traveled from zero to fast instantly and silently.

In late summer of 1982, I (age 18) and 4 friends ranging in age from 12 - 17 were out on a warm and dark night driving for something to do. In our search for adventure, we cruised through a grave yard on the edge of the city limits and near the local airport. I was the driver, and as we explored the maze of graveyard lanes, my friends began seeing glowing white and red lights. One of the girls in the back seat was nearly hysterical in directing me which way to drive so as to avoid the lights they were seeing. I believed their sightings to be the late-night imaginations of ditsy teen-agers. I never saw what they were describing until, as I exited the cemetary, I stopped the car to "call them on their bluff" of seeing strange lights. I parked along the road's edge after turning out of the cemetary driveway. It was then that I saw, through my open drivers' side window, a red, soupcan shaped, glowing object - the color of a reflector for driveway entrances.

It was positioned about three feet above the ground, over the grassy ditch portion of the corner area where the cemetary driveway met he road. It didn't register for me that it was glowing of it's own power - not reflecting light from my car's lights. I thought that a reflector was exactly what it was and opened my door to prove it. As soon as my leg moved to step out, the objct took off. It moved quick and silent. The cylinder shape was traveling so that the cylinder was verticle in relation to the ground (like a bar glass slides accross the bar to the customer - not horizontal like a thrown spear). It moved parallel to the groud and to the road. It glided at a steady and fast speed remaing about three feet above the ground.

I was so startled and frightened, I slammed my car door closed and drove away as fast as I could. Even though I drove in the same direction as the object traveled I did not see it again. I wasn't looking for it. I was watching my gas gage at nearly empty and was trying to drive to get away from it. I have wished ever since that I had not been so hasty in my get-away. I wish I had taken more time to watch it and find more clues about what it was.

My friends tell a longer version of this event, however, they saw more than I and I feel that I can only speak for what I saw.

I was driving on Ridge Road heading north along the reservior. Just as I entered Little Falls I saw an air craft flying fairly low. I watched it for a few seconds and as it passed over my car I caught sight of another object which was a very bright, silver colored object off in the distance beyond that plane. It was very high in the sky which was mostly clear and blue except for some very high white clouds. This object appeared to hang motionless just at the base of those clouds. It hovered at a fourty-five degree angle. I saw no lights or flashing from it and it appeared quite smooth. As I drove on I had to change directions and when I finally resumed driving north again I looked up to the same area in the sky where the object had been, however it was gone.

I was walking my dog last evening when all of a sudden he started acting very very strange.All of a sudden he started elevating about ten feet in the air, then he slowly came back down. As he was elevating towards the sky, I did not notice anything in the sky other than my dog. I was obviously very upset and freaked out that my dog has just floated into the air, actually,he scared me. As I was rushing awayy from the scene, Three giant triangular shaped very flat looking objects with three very large roaming white spotlights appeared out of the sky, almost out of nowhere, with absolutely no noise. All of a sudden all of the lights on all three of the objects concentrated on one area of the ground, and a very large hissing noise came from out of the craft. At this point I started to run back towards my house and wasn't looking back. As I turned a corner to get out of that area, I noticed an orangy glow coming from an area in the trees, there directly in that glow were several people, humans standing looking like they were on some type of anestesia or something,(these people did not look familiar to me) Then suddenly, a very skinny silvery shiny, person started moving around these people with a bluish metallic wand and was passing it over each person like a metal detector, once he finished, the orangr glow, the people, and he being, floated towards the crafts.



NUFORC Note:

We will request corroborating reports from the other witnesses, who reportedly were under the effectof the "bluish metallic wand." PD

I was walking a dog with my cousin in Little falls, MN atw about 10:00 p.m. On our way back I looked up at the sky for no reason as did my cousin. We both saw a light traveling through the clouds then two more lights followed, each light about 2 or 3 seconds apart. They were traveling quite fast and were about 800 feet above us. There was no noise or any change in direction. We only saw each light for about 3 seconds each. We only saw the light through the dark clouds in the sky. I really don't believe in extraterestrial UFOs, but I know this wasn't an ordianary experience.

Large craft, silent and slowly moving forward directly above the car

My mom and I(age 16 at the time) were driving home one night, then she said "oh my God look at that". expecting to see a tiny light or two in the sky I could not believe what I was seeing,it seemed to be just above the treetops. there was a huge Space craft so large that it was hard to determin the shape because we were directly under it.In an instant I tried to reason with my self and try to find an explanation but what I was looking at was so amazing.I climbed out to sit on the window frame while the car was still moving down the Road.Colored Lights blinking along the entire bottom of the craft,My mother said "look at the green lights" and as I did I saw the set of two green lights that seemed to blink ,like a pulse,down the middle of the craft. It is hard to explain the pipe-like pattern that covered bottom.

Fireball at high altitude, at night

I do not remember the exact date of what I saw, but remember the event very well. Reading one of your past reports from July 31, 2000 at 9:24 am jogged my memory and I thought I'd add this to your database.

Back when I was in high school, my father and I were out in the yard one evening around 9:30, using a telescope I had recently gotten. My dad was looking down at the the telescope, trying to adjust it, but I was looking nearly due west and about 75 degrees up from horizontal, over the top of our house. Suddenly a very large, spherical fireball, about twice the size of a full moon, seemed to drop into the sky and roll to the west across an invisible shperical dome, then vanish as if had burned out. That was the most amazing sight. There was no sound, no enormous amount of light (just a soft orange color), no blast. It seemed to all take place at extremely high altitude. The event lasted about 1 second, but was burned into my mind. My father never saw anything. In my own mental analysis, it seemed to me that something had entered the atmosphere and exploded at extremely high altitude. I figured the invisible dome I mentioned, to be the curve of the atmosphere and that the fireball just rolled off of it. One detail I clearly recall is that the fireball had a "firey" texture to it, much the same as the texture seen on close-up photos of the sun. There was no residual contrail, etc. left behind by the event.

Three triangular craft flying silently over Mohawk Valley in Upstate NY

I have always had a fascination for looking at the stars and imagining myself flying to them one day.

One evening, sometime around July 1978 (as best I can remember), I was outside on the porch taking a quick look at the stars before heading inside. It was quite dark, so it must have been 11:00 pm or later. I noticed 3 groups of dim red lights, in formation, moving slowly from west to east, following the direction of the Mohawk River. Each group consisted of 5 dim, red lights, each, with a leading light and two on each side such that they formed a triangular pattern. If one imagines the letter “V”, there would be a light at the point of the “V” with two lights on each leg of the “V”. The point of the “V” was pointing in the flight direction and the pattern of lights gave the impression that there were swept back wings. There was an object in the lead and two following, one just a short distance behind each “wing tip” (for lack of a better description)! . The objects were totally silent.

After watching for a few seconds, I ran into the house because they scared me for some reason. I never saw them again after that. I estimated their altitude to be very low, maybe a few thousand feet, based on the terrain and my history of observing aircraft.

In later years, I saw a photo, or video, of a B2 stealth bomber that had lights on its leading edge that looked similar to what I had seen (I looked just now, and cannot find that image on line). But B2’s were not officially produced until over a decade later, and they are not silent.

However, our house was only about 20-25 miles from Griffiss Air Force Base, so who knows.
