4 lights in the shape of a triangle were seen in the night sky. I used a star gazing app to see if it was a planet or star but nothing showed at its location. The star gazing app recorded a warning of extremely magnetic field. I'm posting two pictures side by side so you can see the lights on your own compared tothe highlighted location in red that I drew. I'm also including the app screenshot noting the warning notice.

This is the second night in a row with the same lights and the same app warning but from two coherent places in Plainview.

Small black triangular object hovering slowly over my roof while star gazing. This object was pitch black, no lights no sound. It blended perfectly with the night sky. I only saw it because I was staring directly in it's direction. This is the 5th time I've seen this object at night while observing the night sky. Bright balls of light and explosions of light are sightings that often occur as I sit on my roof at night.

Characteristics: Lights on object

Strange pattern of white, green, and red lights that hovered and had an erie humming noise.

I was standing in my backyard waiting for my dog to do its business. I looked up for a second and saw a strange formation of white, red, and green lights that moved in an odd motion without blinking in the night sky. I first believed it to be a helicopter, but it did not sound like one. The craft moved very slowly, and then started hovering at the same altitude. The craft also made a low, humming noise similar to a blimp. The problem was that the craft was much smaller than a blimp. There was only one of these strange crafts. Scared, I called out my two sons who inferred the craft to be a circular shape because of the light pattern. The three of us examined the craft for approximately 25 seconds when the craft disappeared in the blink of an eye.

300ft Cigar Shaped UFO traveling at Mach speed at approx. 15,000ft above Grumman in Bethpage, NY

The UFO was a cigar shaped high reflective chrome like object. I was wallking my dog when I first noticed it and was suprised to see the object travelig at Mach speed of at least 700 MPH at about 15,000ft. There was no sound, no con-trail, and the UFO appeared to be about 300 ft. in lenght. This object was moving quickly across the sky and was gone from sight in less than 60 seconds. I have never seen any aircraft like it. there were no wings. I repeat no wings. I'm not aware of any technology known to mankind of this type to date. I'm not sure if you have received similar reports, however I know what I saw and I'm 100% confident it wasn't of human origin.

This object made no sound even though I calculated it moved at Mach speed

UFO more than a glow

10-19-2006

From the Plainview Daily Herald 10/19/2006

By KEVIN LEWIS Herald Editor

Mark Harmon promises he’s not crazy, despite what some of his family and friends are telling him.

Harmon, a 48-year-old grain elevator operator at Providence Farm Supply, believes he had a close encounter with a UFO on Monday night outside his home in the 600 block of Wayland.

“Never in my life have I seen anything like this,” Harmon said. “I really don’t know what I saw.” Harmon was in the middle of watching Monday Night Football when he stepped outside.

“I stepped out in the backyard to smoke a cigarette and happened to be looking up because it was such a pretty night,” Harmon recalled.

From out of nowhere, Harmon encountered lights like he had never seen before.

“From the edge of the house, something came over. It was in a perfect V-shape. There were seven distinctive yellowish-white lights,” he said. “I’ve seen UFO programs where people have drawn this exact same picture.” Harmon said the lights weren’t flashing or changing colors, and “weren’t moving real fast.

“Unless it was a mile wide, this thing was pretty close to the ground, maybe 1,000-2,000 feet.” Harmon said he saw the object, which was moving east, for about 4-5 seconds before it disappeared behind a tree. He hurried around the tree but never saw the lights again.

“I don’t know if you had to be right under it” to see the lights or what, he said.

Harmon found it especially interesting that whatever the object was did not make any noise.

“The thing that got me the most was it was dead silent,” he said.

“I was dumbfounded.” Harmon immediately called TV stations in Lubbock to see if they had heard of any strange object in the skies over Plainview.

None had.

“I was truly curious if anybody else in the area saw anything.” Harmon was supposed to call the person at KLBK back after the 10 o’clock newscast, but after telling his two teenage sons and brother-in-law about his encounter, “we got to talking about it and I never called them back.” And what did his family think about his story? “My 16-year-old (Dustin) said he had never seen me act this way about anything before,” Harmon said. “My 18-year-old (John) was kind of looking at me like these farmers have been.” Those farmers were customers at Providence Grain Supply on Tuesday morning when Harmon was telling his story to anyone who would listen.

“I feel like the person on the (TV) program” trying to convince people they saw something. “These farmers are getting a kick out of it, but I know I saw something.” Harmon did a good enough job convincing his boss, Glen Graves, that he saw something. Graves did some research on the Internet and found a picture taken Oct. 16 in Croatia that Harmon said “was the same-looking deal, just a little fuzzier than what I saw.” Harmon, who moved here about a year ago from Dallas, was married to the late Lisa Daffron, a Plainview native who died July 26, 2005.

“My wife used to be an (astronomy) buff. We had a couple of telescopes.” Harmon is hoping somebody else in town saw what he witnessed Monday night, if for no other reason to confirm to disbelieving friends that he, in fact, saw something up there.

“I’m starting to doubt myself a little, but I know I saw something.”

I witnessed a UFO while night riding in the woods on my mountainbike.

On Easter Saturday, April 12th, 2004, at about 8pm, I was bike riding on the Greenbelt Trail with my boyfriend.

We parked at the trailhead on Jericho Turnpike in Woodbury and rode south on thte trail. After riding for a short bit on Sunnyside Blvd, we went back into the woods.

In that next section there are two hills and valleys. On top of the first hill we turned off our helmet lights and were catching our breth when I looked into the sky toward the west..

"What is that?" I asked. It was a square flying object surrounded by lights and was flying away from us. I shrugged it off, it was pretty far away, so I forgot about it, turned my lights back on and road down into the next valley.

As we as we got up onto the next hill and turned our lights off, I looked to the south and saw the same flying object as before, but this time it was flying towards us. It was square or rectangle, had lights all around the edge and was silent. We were on a hill and the flying object appeared to be flying pretty low. It was coming right towards us but turned 90 degrees on a dime and headed west, the same as the other ship we saw earlier.

Right then any doubt I had as to what it was vanished. I knew it was a UFO. Planes are not silent and don't make right angle turns.

I noticed something else odd about that night. During other night rides on this trail the wildlife would be abundant with birds, squirrels, raccoons, opossums etc. But on this night the woods was eerily quiet, before and after the UFO sighting.

Being filled with fear didn't stop me from continuing my ride that night, but it did interfere with future night rides. I found many reasons to not go night riding after that.

My boyfriend wanted to believe the object we saw was just a plane. He acknowledged it once or twice as a UFO, but then has been steadfast in his denial ever since. I know was I saw. It was a UFO.

seeing an egg shape object in the daylight sky

This sighting happened in Plainview, TX. right in the outskirts of Plainview. I was playing basketball by myself when something cought me eye. It was reflecting of and on. Something like a diamond ring does when you put in the right light. I thought it was an airplane because that's about the distance I could see it. This object was just still, the occasionally it would move to the rght and then bacl left. It was doing this for some time. I the called my cousin who was nearby and pointed it to him. We were fasinated by this object. It did this for sometime and the it moved futher to the right and then it just kept on going right and just dissapeared. I think it just went full throttle. It never went up it just dissapeared into the horizon.

I really never told anybody other than my parents. I know there's something outhere it's alot of space out there, I just hope i'm still alive when they find concrete evidence that there is life out there.

Location: Plainview, NE, USA
Location details: Farm house about 10 miles south of Plainview near a old gravel pit

Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Aircraft nearby

Blueish white orb seems to be checking out our farm place.

My roommate and I were watching TV contemplating sleep suddenly we noticed lights behind the house. The driveway goes right by the west side of the house and to the barn. There is a path that circles around through the trees where old equipment is parked and is over grown, but we could drive through if needed. It looked like someone was trying to do so. We were wondering who of our friends is screwing around and how did they get by the house without us noticing.

We were going out to meet them as they come back passed the house.
I must describe the typography there's a crick close by , we have the house the driveway and a row of cotton wood trees with a couple of small storage sheds and a feul tank scattered between the trees then the crick and open pasteur.
The distance from the house to the crick is less than a city block.

Now before we get to the corner of the house, the very bright blueish white orb comes into site. It looks like it was just on the other side of the crick,casting freaky tree shadows moving across the yard and drive as it passed by, it moved steadily maybe 35 mph. It sped up after passing and we watched till we couldn't see it.

We stood scratching our heads, what the hell was that, I don't remember it making any sound at all..we get back in the house for a little bit when we here a jet,we run back out to see some sort of fighter jet loud and hulling ass on the same path as the orb..
