We were sitting in the back yard by the fire pit talking. It was a clear night sky. After about an hour, I happened to look up and saw a craft. It had lights, but they weren't flashing. It moved at relatively slow pace. Well this was going on, a friend came out of the house from using the bathroom. I pointing to him the craft. I asked if he noticed any lights blinking or flashing. He didn't. Then, the craft just disappeared. Vanished. About 2 minutes later and airplane with red flashing lights flew by.

I saw a weird star-like thing and another weird thing with rainbow-lights and I think the aliens know me.

I was sitting in my living room and I looked out my window and saw a cross-looking UFO with rainbow lights and the craft itself was black and small at least from my distance. I saw it again a block away and have only seen it at night. I believe that the possible aliens that are inside that thing know who I am because about four months ago I took a vacation to Florida and saw it again in the air at night each sighting looked the same. And just 3 or 4 weeks ago I was sitting in my chair outside at dawn and when it turned dark I saw something moving in the sky and it looked exactly like a star and wasn’t a plane which is what I thought it was at first but this one had the same lights as a star and was identical to a star but didn’t have rainbow lights. The first UFO that I had mentioned might have been a drone but I don’t think so since it followed me to Florida and also to a block away from my house. I just looked at the pic/vid of mine that I remember catching it on camera in and right where it was was nothing it was like the aliens erased themselves from the photo/pic I think the aliens know me.

Fast light being followed by helicopter, darting all over the place.

Saw an incredibly bright light moving fast and all over the place with a helicopter following its every move. Sitting near Watch Hill this thing started coming toward us, with the heli following, and then completely darted into the other direction faster than any craft I've seen.

Clearly the helicopter was following it. They were not search helicopters, and only one was a familiar looking light/aircraft. Clearly officials noticed it too. I sure doubt we'll every hear anything about it, but it was bizarre as can be.

Direction from Viewer: South
Angle of Elevation: 45
Closest Distance: Approx. two hundred yards
Characteristics: Possible abduction

From my living room I was awakened and compelled to look out my window, that's when I saw a large round bright light in the sky.

I went to sleep on my living room couch one night back in 2015. It was around 1 AM when I shut the TV and lights off and a short time later fell asleep. The room was dark and I could see it was a fairly dark night outside from my large living room window. I didn't have any shades or curtains on this window at the time so I had a good view of the sky outside. While asleep I involuntarily was brought to my feet, it was like someone picked me up and stood me on my feet. My vision was completely red, as if I was wearing and looking through a red lense pair of glasses. What happened next is that I felt completely compelled to go to the window and look out into the sky. I noticed my parking lot outside my apartment was completely lit up, like it was daytime. I looked into the sky and saw a large circular white light shining in the direction of my apartment. If I were to estimate the distance between the light and my apartment I would have to say a couple hundred yards. It was almost immediate after seeing this light that my body went into an uncontrollable fit, it was like I was having a seizure. This lasted for approximately 10-15 seconds then it stopped and I fell to the floor. What I noticed was the shadow from the outside light on my living room floor retracted and the light disappeared completely. I went to the window and the parking lot was dark, the circular, or full moon looking source of light was gone. I was completely besides myself and totally confused as to what I just experienced. A day or so later I was seen in our local emergency room where they conducted blood tests on me to see if I had a seizure or stroke, their answer was no. I am a former Police Officer with approx. ten years police experience, a trained observer, who cannot explain what happened that early morning. My hopes are to get some of my questions answered about this experience and to learn if anyone has had a similar experience. One thing to add, I have never told my story to anyone.

Dark cloud followed by 5-6 chrome egg shaped crafts

My wife and I were out on are boat enjoying a wonderful afternoon and she suddenly saw a dark spot in the sky just above the horizon and when I looked at what appeared to be a dark cloud I noticed 5-6 shiny chrome egg shaped objects at a height about 50% lower than what a commercial aircraft would be flying at, I worked hands on with airplanes for 7 years, these were not planes, balloon,skydivers ex.... The objects hovered perfectly still, I stopped my boat and I could not believe what I seeing, I saw one of these crafts make a maneuver in a hook type move half way around the other objects at a speed that no man made craft could of possibly do, the objects remained absolutely still for another few seconds then they all started moving very very slow and suddenly dissapeared, the dark cloud was still present but with in mins was totally faded and gone the cloud was not black but almost like a dark storm cloud,

Shape: Fireball


Intense yellowish white fireball with greenish tint.

Driving west on Route 1 in Westerly approaching Dunn’s Corners. Sky to the west beautiful late evening sunset with band of clouds in the distance.

Intense object the size of an M&M held at arm’s length appears about 70-degrees off the western horizon and shoots due west and disappears behind the band of clouds about 30-degrees off the western horizon. Light a very bright yellowish white with distinct green tint. Incredibly fast and visible for a second or less. Looked like a Roman Candle, but much faster and if it was, it blinked out in an instant just as it aligned with the edge of the cloud band. Seemed to me like it was a long way off and disappeared behind the cloud band, which I would estimate to be 20 to 30 miles away.

Have seen a lot of shooting stars, but this was faster, brighter and the light was very constant - no flaring or sparkling. No tail noticed.

Four Reddish-orange fireballs-changed direction-disappeared.

1/8/12, 18:27 - Westerly, RI

Looking west over the Pawcatuck River, Stonington, CT, I noticed what appeared to be three reddish-orange fireballs which were twinkling intensly. They were traveling the same course in a loose formation with the first, in my perspective, to be the lowest. Above and to the right was the second and a little farther behind, above and to the right of the second was a third. They appeared as helicopters would, entering my view low on the horizon and about the same speed. Objects were silent. In my experience, helicopters at that range would have been clearly audible. At this time a wittness began observing objects.

We continued to watch the lights as they proceeded in an easterly direction when, one by one they turned, seemingly at the same point, to a southerly direction, traveled a short distance, grew dim, and "twinkled out", like a candle running out of fuel.

We looked back to the west, where I had first seen the fireballs, and a fourth appeared, seemingly out of a dark sky. Description of the fourth exaclyl follows the first three in appearance, speed, altitude, and course. It also "twinkled out" after changing course to the southern.

I took pictures, every one shows something, a few are very faint even with magnification. Two are Interesting, one showing swirl from camera movenemt oppisite of swirl from object. They all show the reddish-orange color.

Low flying jet like sound followed by a long sighting of three color lighted object hovering.

I was about to go to bed around midnight, when I heard what sounded like a low flying jet -- which prompted me to look out the front window of our apartment... when I looked up, to the right, very high in the sky, I could see lights... I thought, oh there's the jet... as I kept watching, I noticed it really wasn't moving... just kind of hovering, and there were colored lights pulsating around it, green, red and white. I grabbed my camera, but the pictures were coming out blurry. I got the video camera, and took some footage with that, hoping we can enhance it later on the computer. I also grabbed my camera again, and took a short video with that too. I watched this thing just hang there in the sky, pulsating, for over 40 minutes... around 12:50AM there was cloud cover and I could no longer see whatever this was.

Also, as an added twist to this story, my ten year old Son had told me, and my Husband that he kept seeing a flashing light out side. He seen this flashing light out side the same room I seen my sighting from later that night. Our Son told us this at about 10PM just as my Husband was about to leave for work.

We have reviewed the video footage, and indeed there is three different colors of light at this one point in the sky.

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

Object flying along side an airplane disappeared into the clouds, emerged 5 minutes later and flew southwest.

I was looking out the window at 12:45 when I saw a plane flying in the direction from north to south at a high altitude. I then noticed a small circular object flying along side it. The circular object slowed down to a speed much slower then the plane and disappeared behind the clouds. At this point the plane flew over head, and I went outside for a closer look. About 5 minutes passed and I then noticed the same object emerged from the clouds, stayed at the high altitude and started to fly south west at what looked like at a slow speed. I could see the object better when it was directly over my house because it was heading closer to the sun. The object looked like it was rotating because every time it rotated there was a brief reflection. The Object stayed at a slow pace for 5 more minutes heading south west until it was no longer visible.

black triangle over chopper and house in RI

I live upstairs in a two family house in westerly RI. I was doing some light cleaning around my house and reached under the sink for dusting supplies. At this point I heard a helicopter passing very low over my house. I knelt down in front of the window and looked up as an army type chopper was indeed in veiw, I watched for only a few second before a second object passed (east) above the helicopter. It inter my sight from a direction over my house and as crossed the path of the helicopter it switched direction (to north) and was lost behind a grouping of trees. The object as I was looking up and at an angle was an unmistakable triangle. It appeared black in color with a flashing light at the point facing the rear. It had other lights along the bottom and sides but they were not as bright. There was no sound apart from the noise of the chopper that I could detect.
