bright sphere of light

it was a clear night last night. as we were leaving a friends house, 845 pm. the stars were clearly visible. as we looked over the lake-east of our city. we noticed a bright ball of light. it was way brighter than the stars. and was moving in a way-that looked, as if it floating downward, in a zig zag motion. as we starred at it, it slowly started to fade into a small dim red sphere, and literally...faded into nothing....disappeared. right before our eyes. id have to say, it was like watching a craft go into hyper speed, and be gone. ive seen many other ufos, but nothing as the one i saw last night. i know others at the lake front-had to have seen it. it was that noticeable.

Swirling hovering sound and a round object circling fast

I was laying in bed and heard a swirling hovering sound that was not familiar to me. I looked out the window, and I saw a swirling object moving very very quickly and it look like it did not have a pattern. I took up my phone and started recording in the blink of an eye disappeared upwards. I had never seen anything like that before.

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Lights on object

During the week off April 12, 2021- I saw a disk or saucer shape object in the North sky.It did have red and blue flashing lights-which drew my attention to it. It seemed to stay still in the air-and was just off the coast -north of my direction. Other people who were out-noticed it as well. It stayed there for a duration of time. Later that week-as I was headed to West Bend-again the same type of object was in the South sky. At times-a white light flashed away from the object. Again-it was hovering for a duration of time.

We witnessed 2 separate aircrafts traveling in the same airspace before one quickly disappears into thin air.

My husband and I were sitting in our car beside the Manhasset Bay when I decided to take a picture of our town across the water. Just after the picture was taken in my iPhone we both recalled seeing a flash of light in the sky. Realizing that my camera may have been in “live” mode, we played it back and couldn’t believe we had gotten the incident on video. (My camera flash was NOT on when I had taken the picture). What the video revealed was 2 separate aircrafts that seemed to be traveling in synch, but not on the same level. The larger one on the right traveled extremely quickly across the sky before disappearing completely, while the seemingly smaller craft follows along but can still be seen in the video after the first craft disappears. There is a distinct “clicking” noise that can be heard just as the first craft vanishes into thin air.

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Brilliant orange "power" lights; one word description would have to be "roiling," or "liquid."

Being confined by language, with the additional restriction of vocabulary, it is difficult to convey individual knowledge, but this is what I must try to do. I live in a condo in this small town, overlooking Lake Michigan and also overlooking a park located to my Southeast. From this park, the Town celebrates three or four festivals every year, including of course July 4. This fireworks display is clearly visible from my third floor (lakeside) deck and I intended to watch the 2016 display but was reading and forgot about it, until I heard the first Boom. But as I went out to watch I was attracted to a small bright light out over the lake, directly east and moving north. This was odd because there is never a light out over the lake at night but I thought it was probably a helicopter, moving at about that speed, headed toward Green Bay. Then things changed.

As I watched, the light suddenly made a sharp left turn and started in my direction (and the direction of the fireworks). I keep a pair of binocs hanging on the deck door and wanted to get them but was afraid I'd lose the light, now a bright orange and getting brighter as it got neared but finally hurried to get them. Sure enough, the orange light was gone. I'd lost it.

So it was back to the fireworks with some disappointment, until I realized it was not gone but had changed from the very bright orange lights to smaller, dimmer blinking ones, obviously on the bottom of something very large. At that hour of the night, all I could see were the lights but by now the object was much closer, just offshore and slightly to the northeast of my position and of the fireworks display. And though it was quite dark, there was the impression that the craft was triangular. It held its position totally silent and motionless for six to eight minutes, as though someone in it was curious about the fireworks.

Then as I watched with the glasses it seemed like someone aboard flipped a switch. The white, blinking bottom lights (levitating?) went out and the two very large and extremely bright orange ones snapped back on, ambient light illuminating the entire rear (power?) end of the craft, giving me a very clear view. There still were no sidelights so impossible to determine actual size or shape, only the impression of big and triangular. It sat immobile and silent for another couple of minutes and then moved leisurely to the southeast until it disappeared over the lake horizon, obviously abandoning its original destination.

Most interesting about this event is what it tells us about the beings involved, that is: we are not being visited by preprogrammed probes but by ships was under intelligent guidance, they are not from our own future (not interested in fireworks), not our military for the same reason, and obviously not interested in direct communications so far. I do a considerable amount of rendering and have made one of that part of the craft made visible by the large orange lights which I shall try to include. Not a computer literate, but will give it a try.

Bright orange glow with short fixed wings sighted

I spotted a single fireball (bright orange glow) with short fixed wings traveling slowly around helicopter height in the night sky. The glow first traveled in a northerly, then northeast and finally an easterly direction.

From where the object appeared in the sky it seemed to track to the north shore of Long Island then make its turn east, probably following the north shoreline of Long Island.

I eventually lost sight of the object. It either burned out or traveled far enough away not to be seen with the naked eye.

Extremely large "Pulsing" light event

Standing outside my home enjoying a smoke and looking at the stars about 6:30pm, Dec. 13th, 2012. Clear skies.

Looking north I found Cassiopeia and shifted my view southwest to Cygnus. I saw a small private plane moving northwest from Draco.

As I was tracking the plane, a large sphere appeared just to the south west of Cygnus. It then faded in a "pulsing" fashion. I thought it might have been sunlight reflecting on a satellite, yet the light was at least the same magnitude as Jupiter and five (5) times the diameter. Light color was white.

Just after that thought, the light pulsed on again, slightly moving to the southeast. Both times the light pulsed on and off while moving. Time between pulses was about 3 seconds.

By this time the small plane was in the immediate area of the event and the light again "pulsed" on and off while still moving southeast.

End of event.

Duration: 20 seconds.

After the event I remember the shape of the object was slightly oval in the plane horizontal to my view. I also got the impression that the object was higher than the small planes altitude (approx. 3,500') since the plane never reacted to the "pulses." Visually the object traveled about 2/3rds the way from the center cross star of Cygnus southeast towards the star at end of the cross.

Four illuminated saucer like objects in the sky at 2:15 am.

I was outside and noticed lights flashing in the sky, I looked up and saw a band of lights flashing from a distance. The object seemed to be saucer like. I told my girlfriend to come outside to see if I was imagining it. She saw it right away and then noticed two more below it and to the right. The lights on the saucers would randomly flash, the saucers don’t move much they just hover. We then went inside and looked outside our patio door and noticed one more. The fourth saucer we noticed has more of a faint glow and the other three seem to have lights that move around the saucer.Around 2:45 the thrid saucer emitted a beam of light under it.Around the same time the lights on the first saucer started flashing multi-colored lights. I walked back to the window and two of the saucers were gone. We fell asleep at 4:00 and they were still there. Neither of us ever believed in UFO's up until tonight so this is pretty crazy.

2 giant craft flying very low at high speeds, with changing color lights!

I know that I am entering this a little late.. but I did'nt know that there was a place to report this kind of stuff. Well, back in October, my friend and I were walking around our highschool at night because there was a dance going on and we were waiting for some friends to come out. We were on an open football field and the sky was very clear, and I looked up and saw two very large crafts flying in the air. The two crafts were very low and seemed to be traveling very fast! I got the attention of my friend and he saw it too, and we were both in shock. I was in denial that what I saw was not an airplane, but I thought (and still think) that it was something else. It appeared as if the two crafts were flying on top of one another. They had green lights, which then became yellow. I honestly could not see the craft very well, so it is hard for me to determine the shape, but I did see that it was very low, and very fast. The thing that really led me to believe that it was not an airplane was because the crafts seemed to be flying RIGHT on top of another, and I know airplanes do not do that at such high speeds. This lasted long enough for my friend and I to talk to about it and he called his brother who actually has said he had seen it aswell, so it was about 3-5 minutes. I am sorry that I cannot give more detail, or be sure on exactly what I saw, but I truley believe that what I saw was not anything normal.

Object hovered for 35 minutes, glowed whitish yellow, changed shape., appeared to be approximately 5 to 10 miles away - 1,000 feet high

The object I saw, at first appeared to be still but after observing longer I noticed it was actually moving left to right - back and forth. It was sort of a football shape - it seemed to be glowing a kind of whitish yellow. It had blinking white lights on the top and one on each side. The bottom had a blinking red light. It looked to have a row of black shapes (or windows) circling toward the top just under what appeared to be a dome. The object seemed to be changing shape as it moved back and forth. The witnesses were me, my mother, and an older husband and wife whose names I neglected to write down. They were curious and intrigued with what I was video taping (and proceeded to tell me of their own UFO sighting.) An official looking woman came over - asked me what I was doing in a authoritative manner and then told me I wasn't allowed to video tape on the dock. I kept filming. Incidently, we were attending a summer band concert at Sunset Park in Port Washington, Long Island. I want to mention when I first saw the object it was nothing but a faint glow in the distance. At first I thought it was the moon shining through the clouds but when I zoomed in with my camera, I knew it was something else because it had blinking lights.

Craft a cross between Triangle/Chevron/Arrowhead/Diamond; clear, starry night; witnessed what I believe to be: quiet, low humming craft with 2 bright banks of lights, approximately 500-1000ft above ground, seemingly about

I did not report this experience before, because I did not think anyone except my spouse would believe me. I am a pragmatist, based in our known realities of scientifically proven facts, but what I saw was most tangibly real...even my dog stopped and looked up at this item. I decided to report this today after reading about the police in southern Illinois who gave descriptions very similar to my own. At age 47, on or about the 15th of October, 1998, (may have been 10/10-10/27), I took our Cairn Terrier outside for her last "potty break" between 10:31 and 10:37 pm. My spouse had gone to bed just minutes earlier. It was a very mild, clear, star-filled evening. As I stood looking at the beauty of the stars, facing a slight northwesterly direction, an enormous flying craft appeared--almost as if it had been 'Star Wars-like uncloaked'. I was immediately struck by it's seeming closeness to the earth, it's relative silence, and it's almost COMICAL display of two huge single-row banks of lights on either side of it's triangularish front---it looked almost exactly like the row of lights on police cars in these colors: red, clear and blue. My next thought was: "well, if this is a secret USA project, they sure want to be seen!". It was close enough for me to wonder if those inside would wave at me. As this object approached, I choose to stay and watch what would probably be a once-in-a-lifetime experience instead of getting a witness. As this seemingly slow and quiet craft approached our property, I tried to gauge it based upon a 40-50 ft. tall pine tree in the next yard. My mind was trying to move fast to get a size estimate. With it's unusual shape, it was difficult. Nor do I possess the advanced physics/mathematical skills to measure items based upon horizon/angle, etc. To me: this item was rather symmetrical, i.e., width from widest point-to-widest-point appeared to be 150-200 feet; front-to-rear, perhaps 200-250 ft, based upon it's distance from the pine tree's top and width of view it took up in my line of vision. Our city block is approximately 250 feet long, and each lot facing our street is 150 feet deep. I believe this object, if on the ground, would have just about filled the property space of one-half of our entire block--perhaps more. I remember won! dering why anything so huge would risk flying this low so near to 4 electric company smoke stacks located on the waterfront of our city. Description: first impression: a triangle. When I was directly underneath it, my next impression was: pentagon with a flair; my last impression: pentagon with enough of a flair to be considered an arrowhead. Rear of craft as it was flying SE, away from me over Lake Michigan: flat rear/slight sides to main body, just like the back end of an arrowhead. Other descriptive items: as it passed over me, I thought I detected some type of circles on the bottom of the craft; the bottom of the craft was the darkest part of my visual experience. As the craft first came toward me, I was fascinated by the banks of lights--what appeared to be rather halogenic red/clear/blue....but then I noticed that there was a beacon light on the top of the portruding "cabin". This craft DEFINITELY had a curved cabin with either windows or perhaps black reflective surfaces. However, this cabin was NOT sharp-angled like the stealth bomber type. This cabin seemed proportionate to the rest of the object, i.e., it was not a small bump in the middle of a disk. This craft was not a "thick" craft...at least it did not appear so to me from the front/bottom/rear views I had of it as it almost silently cruised toward/over/away from me. Behavior of Craft: seemingly "slow cruising"; it did a flat bank from it's more southerly direction of travel to a southeasterly direction and it did this RIGHT over my head, i.e.,our street runs perpendicular to lake michigan on a slight NE/SW angle, so when I was watching this craft go directly away from me after it passed overhead, it had to be traveling in a slight southeasterly direction over Lake Michigan (I believe a straight-line shot across Lake Michigan would have placed it in Indiana/Ohio eventually?--it did the bank directly over my head; at no time did this object exude any type of exhaust/exhaust noise--only a low humming. We experience many helicopters flying overhead here. If one takes a typical Flight-For-Life type helicopter on a scale of 1 to 10 for noise, with the helicopter's noise being a "10", then this craft, many times the helicopter's size, was barely a "1 to 2" in noise level. At one point, it felt as though I could almost reach out and touch, it! seemed so close to me. Other Characteristics: Nothing struck me as it being "out of this world wierd" except it's enormous size and quiet functioning, and two bizarre banks of "cop car gumball" lights. This object seemed to have a dull body surface in a darker color, i.e., it was not silver/white/red/blue/green/purple/orange, etc. It was, perhaps gray/brown/black.

Enormous red-orange glowing craft rural area of WI.

I was driving home from a neighboring town in a rural area of WI. Although it was around 3:15 am, I was not under the influence of alcohol or any other substance(s). My baby son was sleeping in the back seat of the car.

Rural areas are very dark at night, so I immediately noticed a bright light in the sky to my left. Although it was the brightness of the light which first caught my eye, I couldn't believe the size of the object - at least the length of a couple of football fields. It was kind of saucer shaped, very long and the entire object glowed reddish-orange. It seemed to be in a kind of haze.

Completely "freaked-out", by now I had stopped the car. The craft was gigantic, glowed orange and did not move, but just hovered in the sky. My father was a pilot and I was familiar with many different types of aircraft and I "knew" this was no earthly aircraft. I just stared at it and remember feeling completely terrified.

As I stared at it, it kind of "sucked up into itself" and disappeared within a split second, leaving a "light trail" as it left. If I doubted what it was before it took off, I certainly knew, without a doubt, what it was afterward as I knew no earthly aircraft takes off that way.

I was afraid to notify local law enforcement as I assumed (small town) I would not be taken seriously.
