Orange globe moving in the sky.

While driving west on Elevator Rd. near the intersection of County Line Rd., I witnessed an orange circle about 45 degrees up in the sky straight in front of me. I started driving up a hill so the object was straight in my line of view. It was rather small but was a perfect circle. The color was a very bright and warm orange. It almost looked like an orange sitting on top of a basketball rim from the other side of the court. It stayed very still for about two seconds after I noticed it. It then proceeded to move down toward the road, with a slight angle to the right, at an incredible rate of speed for onky a second. I imagine it was far away based on the size of it. In order for it move that distance. It came to a dead stop right abobe the crest of the hill for two more seconds. Then it just vanished.

My son and I saw two object that we thought were stars but they were kind of dancing around...opposite sides of sky

My son and I were outside looking at the stars and he asked if stars were supposed to move and I told him I didn’t think so….he said look at that one it’s purple and the prettiest one in the sky but it looks like it’s dancing and there is one on the other side of the sky not to far but a different color. I’m not sure but I have never seen anything like it in my life. I thought for sure they were like satellites but they are moving around too fast and they do kind of look like they are dancing around if that makes any sense?? I know it sounds ridiculous but thought maybe someone might know whether or not we are just being crazy thinking that a couple satellites dancing around the sky are something more than that. Just kind of the coolest thing we have ever seen but sort of freaking us out at the same time. Just wondering if there was some kind of super camera that could scope in and see if they are satellites or something else?? Really don’t have anything else to say so sorry not very descriptive but feel like we might sound a little crazy. Not sure if this is the format you need, but I tried.

Disk shaped metallic object in sky, hovered, and was gone. Slight trail, but also gone in seconds.

I walked out of my house to the corner to wait for my daughter. I looked up and saw a disk shaped object high in the sky. I watched it as it was very metallic looking. It wasn't there but 30 seconds and then just gone.

There was just a slight trail after the disk took off.

Glowing orbs in various places and then a sweeping light across the mountain unlike anything I've ever seen.

I was fourteen, I live in Washington D.C, but I was up at our cabin in Montana with my whole family. My grandma, uncle, and I were outside looking at the stars. My uncle told us he saw a glowing light about fifteen feet in front of us. We all looked where he was pointing. For about 10 seconds ever 5 or so minutes, an extremely bright light about the shape and size of a softball would glow. It was white and extremely bright. Our cabin is pretty isolated so it is pitch dark except for the stars. After watching the glowing orb for about half an hour, I noticed there was another one in the trees to our left. We began to get a little freaked out and tried to come up with explanations, because we were all hardly ones to believe in UFOs.

After watching the orb in the tree and the one in the tall grass 15 feet in front of us, we noticed one far in the distance on the top of Black Butte (the mountain in front of our cabin). At first we thought it was a star, because it was on the edge. But it was so bright and too big to be a star. At that point, it began to inch extremely slow in a straight line across the mountain.

I really have no idea how to explain the next part of our sighting to you. We had been watching the orbs for give or take an hour and a half. We were frozen there, mesmerized by what was going on. All of the sudden, out of the pitch black, a bright white light swept across the side of the mountain, and across the field beneath the mountain next to our cabin. We could see everything in the light. Everything else was pitch black except for were the light was hitting, it was illuminating every tree, every blade of grass, everything in its path. I ran inside to get my dad and my grandpa, but by the time I got them to come out, everything was gone. We tried to explain what had just happened but it just sounded crazy. I know what I saw, and my uncle (33 at the time) and my grandma (64 at the time) know as well.

{This was outside of Redlodge Montana, in-between Roscoe and Elk Lake, if it interests anyone}

Characteristics: Lights on object

At the time I was about thirteen years old, but I remember it well. We lived near big apple orchard and had just finished picking a bunch of apples. My dad and I were out on the drivewayspraying all of the apples down with the hose. Since we lived out in the country the sky was almost always bright with stars and I often found myself staring up at the sky for meteors and such. This particular night I was staring up at the sky and there, directly above us, at what seemed like miles in altitude, was a gigantic triangular thing with bright lights on each tip of the triangle. The thing just sat there motionless for a couple of minutes. Then, without warning, it began rotating back and forth as if on a fixed point. After I came out of my state of shock I grabbed my dad and showed him what I was looking at. My dad is not very emotional. He just kind of looked at it and said, "Oh yeah. My brothers and I use to see that thing out on the farm all the time when we were kids." Then he went back to spraying the apples while I flew inside the house to get my mom and grandma to show them the thing. They were frustratingly slow and was begging them to hurry. By the time we got out there, the thing was gone and I was royally p.o.ed. My dad was still standing there with the hose. I asked him where the thing went. He said he didn't know. That was the last we ever saw of the big triangle. But, I kid you not, it was one of the most wicked cool things i have ever seen.

Duration: 45 Minutes

Location: Roscoe, IL, USA

Multiple craft over Northern Illinois interacting with each other.

At the time this sighting took place, I was 14 years old. I was talking to the neighbor on the phone when I first noticed a goldish colored ball of light flying over the field behind our house. My first thought was it was one of several local farmers who had small planes getting ready to make a turn in preparation to land. As I watched it, I could see something just wasn't right with the way it was flying, even though most of the farmers were flying the old Piper Cubs, which are capable of flying quite slow, this was even slower than that. I had seen probably hundreds of fly-bys by the local farmers over the same field, and this just didn't compare to any of those as far as speed, flight pattern, and the coloration of the lights. Instead of turning as I expected it to, the light just continued to come straight on towards our house, and soon the brightness of it's light was just too different from any planes landing lights I had seen. I yelled at the neighbor on the phone to tell his parents to look out over the field, I then yelled to my mother and two brothers, who were in the next room, to look over the field at the light, which they did. Just as the light reached the edge of the field, and the fence line, it was if someone turned off a switch, and it went dark. My mother and brothers came into the kitchen where I was, and I asked my mom if she knew what it could have been. Before she could answer we heard something passing over the house. It was more of a sensed sound, rather than audible, maybe more like we felt some sort of pulsing vibration. Mom seems to remember it sounding like an air compressor, like those at gas stations as they replenish the air supply.

When I heard this I ran to the front door, and opened it to go outside, I can remember my mom yelling not to open the door, but it was too late as I had opened it and exited to the outside. My mom and brothers were standing on the porch yelling at me to come back, as I stood in the front yard looking up at the bottom of the craft which I don't think was more than 200 feet or so above the house. There was 1 large light in the center, with a ring over real small lights around that, and a medium size light at the end of each point of the structure, but under the edge, not at the wing tips. I belived the large light was blue, the circle of small lights were orangish. The ones at the wing points were red and white. As I looked up at it, I felt something like a mist, it reminded me of a very light spring rain as far as size of droplets, and intensity. The craft was not moving fast at all, maybe 5 to 10 miles per hour, but that estimate may be off because of it's size, which was I estimate to be 200' from furthest point to furthest point. I then noticed that my eyes were beginning to burn, and that when I tried to look up at it, I could no longer keep my eyes open. It was not a burn like an acid burn, but more like an irritation, as you would get spraying a fine mist of salt water into your eyes. At this time I retreated back to the porch, where my mom and 2 brothers were.

The craft seemed to stop over the trees across the street from our house and just hover there for about 3 minutes, then began to ascend straight up. It did not change it's attitude to ascend. The front did not rise, the back did not drop, it just remained level and started to go straight up. I then noticed that at a high altitude a single white light appeared and seemed to be getting larger and brighter. In the next few minutes, I seen 3 more craft, identical to the one that had passed over our house appear, it seems from 3 other directions. I remarked that the one that had passed over our house had arrived out of the south, of the others, one came from the north, one from the east and one from the west. That large white lighted object grew to be about 10 times the size of each of the smaller craft and then stopped it's descent. All 4 of the smaller craft seemed to be hovering, with fronts of their craft pointing towards this large white object. Then one of the smaller craft moved slowly towards the larger craft, and when it's front seemed to make contact with the larger object, it suddenly began to rotate in a clockwise fashion, nose to large craft. This gave me the impression that the larger craft was in fact rotating in this fashion. and the small craft must have docked with it. One by one each of the other small craft also docked with the larger craft, and soon all 4 small craft were, as best as I can describe it, sliding sidways around the perimeter of the larger craft.

This went on for about 30 minutes, when one by one each of the smaller craft broke away from the larger craft, and flew off in opposite directions. One to the south, one north, one east and one west. The large white object simply ascended back up into the sky until it was lost from sight.

When my dad arrived home soon after he was sceptical, so he split us all up into different rooms, and gave each of us a piece of paper and a pencil. Told each of us to draw the object and label anything we had seen. It wasn't long before he was frantically running from room to room, because all of our drawings matched. My mom appeared on several local radio programs over the next few days and was interviewed. Many of these programs had people calling in claiming they saw the same objects. It turned out the neighbors had been so frightened by it, they closed all their curtains, lit candles and had all their children gather in the living room and prayed through the whole ordeal. The story also appeared for several days in the local newspaper, The Beloit Daily News, Beloit, WI.

July 25,1964 Saucer/disk seen so close on a beautiful summer day.

Saturday, July 25th, 1964, at 12:00 Noon, How can I ever forget this day. It was a beautiful calm day. Being I just shortly got my Driving permit at age 15, My Father told me to use the Family Car a 1956 Pontiac to drive home a employee of his. He lived Below the Hill in Roscoe, Minnesota, 56371. Just minutes away from his Business. I drove, with passenger Dads car, North from Roscoe about a mile for a joy ride first. This town is build on a wash out with a hill on both sides about a mile apart. This will brings you at a creek that runs under the road. The conversation was we were talking About being on our High School Base ball Team when School Starts in September, That's when I saw the silver disk. It was so visible and close against the blue sky.

I started yelling at the passenger. Look at that Silver Saucer!! I then braked hard and pulled the car to the side of the road near the creek and parked. I kept the engine running and shifted in neutral. We both observed a Disk/ Saucer to the North of where we were parked about a half mile away. We observed the Silver Saucer/Disk at first hovering about 250 Feet Above a farm to the N.W. It made no sound, No lights or windows could be seen. It then moved to the next farm a half mile away to the east and Hovering over it for about a minute. It then crossed the road to the East, really got a good look at it being so close. It hovered over a pasture. Each time it stopped it Wobbling like it was having a hard time controlling it self. It then moved over the pasture area slowly, stopped and Hovered and then started an upward diagonal assent. The acceleration then speeded up to and incredible 3 second to the cloud level and Vanished. We were terrified at the speed not knowing what this was, where it went and if it was coming back to flank us. I turned the car around south and headed back to Roscoe as fast as dads 389 Pontiac car would go. I drove back to his Business both of us running in telling what we just experienced. Dad and several customers then armed themselves, went out side and saw nothing. Several other sighting were reported that month in that county and area. Later that fall 1964, a U.S Air force Radar team was dispatched to Regal, Minnesota Just 18 Miles Away. The Radar team was set up with 4 railroad Cars with Radar Equipment and living Quarters. Some of these Air force personal during their off duty time would patronize my dad's night club business on Saturday night with their Air Force uniforms on. I had to work those nights. Seeing the uniform, I ask what their were up to in Regal, Minnesota. They responded it was Top Secret. After 6 months or so I got to Know one of the Air force personal Quite well as their deployment was coming to an end. He told me that the reason they were dispatched was because of all the UFO sighting seen on radar in our area. He said, the mission was that an Early warning detection system was deployed if the soviet Union launched a missile, that's what they told the Paynesville press but we were looking for UFO's mostly because this is a hot spot he stated. I told him what I saw on July 25, 1964, and he said, that why were are here, so many sightings were reported.
