I watch every night and early morning hours objects making up down circles in sky’s. All the time.

I love watching them. This is on a nightly watch I don’t smoke in my house so I go on porch. And watch them. It is cool to think could it be. So I wave to them. The move can not be done by normal plains to fast and not a satellite. Also. I see it with no problems open skies just looking up at stars.

2 triangular crafts seen clearly, many lights on the underside, flying slowly, in a standup position, above trees against night sky.

It was 11:30 pm. No stars seen, since there was cloud cover. I heard a loud rumble noise. I ran to the window since I have heard sounds before. 2 long triangle crafts flying near each other, in a stand up position slowly flew from East to West. Both had lights many lights on on the underside.

It was above the tall pines and low enough that I saw it all so clearly. It moved slowly out of sight in the same stand up position..but not up. I got my cell phone ready if they returned, but they did not.

This past 8 months I have heard many sounds in the skies here..but what I saw was not planes.

I seen the Ship at a very Close and low distance I positively know they are Real theres no doubts in what i saw!

it was 12/6/2014 8:39 pm Saturday night started with unexplained electrical glitch, my cell phone untouched on desk called the house phone, the house phone number was showing on the television, me and my 8 yr old looked at each other and she said mommy your cells on the desk how did it do that, so i said i don't know that's really strange! even though i was shaken a little thinking in my head of maybe some kind of electrical explanation,i didn't want to scare her so i just left it alone, but knew there really wasn't one!

So later on that night my husband had got a call for roadside triple A assistance, he was a tow truck driver asked me if i wanted to go, being my daughter was asleep i took a short ride with him, on the way back coming done with the call. We were on our way home heading south on William Floyd in south Shirley NY were we reside two blocks from the water it was very clear out weather wise, as i looked up i saw what appeared to be a massive black footb! all shaped object slightly on an angel with two lights one on one side and one on the other,it appeared to be hovering over a house but in all actuality it was so enormous Also very silent! It was over the Atlantic ocean close to the Island in the Long Island sound ! i looked at it for a minute without taking my eyes off of it, not believing my eyes i yelled out to my husband look what is that? what the hell is that? my husband driving looked up at it and twice as well in frantic fear said "what the ((deleted)) what the ((deleted))!!! He began driving erratically scared and in disbelief!! He turned the block and we were home not far at all from this ship or the sound. I did want to go back but my husband was too scared too i was more curious! The approximate of this was Latitude 40 44'18.24"N Longitude -72 50'39.95"W I am so positive in what i saw my eyes were stuck on it and the U.F.O was so low in hovering being completely still,there's no if and's or buts about it! They ha! ve interest under the water i believe! Later on that night my ! 8 yr old climbed in bed with us,saying she was scared being alone it was in the Am. As she was sleeping with us she woke up and said she saw next to my side of the bed a man as she described it with a cloak on but she said a long coat with a hood no face just dark with red eyes!and then it went away!she then went back to sleep! she had told us in the morning when we were up. my daughter was never exposed to anything or watched anything ever of the sort on television or anywhere else to know about anything like that.I believe all this was connected to the ship before and after the sighting i believe it new i was the curious one and explains why it was on my side of the bed!im not sure,but i do know there many different species of them do to the different kinds of ships!

20:50 10/10/14 Shirley NY 2 lights going south to north, visible for 5 minutes

At approximately 2050 hours tonight, October 10, 2014, I saw two odd lights, almost the color of flames, appears in the southern sky and move north above me. I assume they were satellites, but I'd like to confirm as I’ve never seen anything like this before.

This was in Shirley, N.Y. I’d just stepped out front of my house for a smoke when they appeared. It’s an overcast, rainy evening with no stars visible.

They appeared at about 45* and traveled to about 120* before disappearing, one then the other. They seemed to be very high and I think they went out of view due to the height they reached rather than going behind clouds as their light burned through the cloud cover, or having burned up in the atmosphere.

I brought my wife out to see them, and I recorded them.

as i was in the car driving home around 8:45pm i went outside and automatically notice a bright light coming from the night sky.

i looked up and it wasn't the moon. there were two different circle shaped bright orange lights fairly close to each other.

one seemed to remain still and the other moved very slowly but not far from the bigger light.

i was on the highway and before i could find a safe spot to pull over at and observe better the lights had already disappeared

Unusual sound, then silence, small lighted craft left in its wake, all disappeared.

I saw a v-shape craft flying south over head with unusual sounding jet engine roar. It was flying slowing from north to south.

It showed 3 white light on its under belly, one on each wing tip and one dead center on the body in line with the wings lights.

The engines then went silent and then craft banked right (west) and appeared to be flying north again then disappeared.

What I saw next were 2 or 3 small red and green lighted objects swirling in the area where the main craft turned west.

I live near the Shirley, NY, airport (which doesn't allow jets) and have seen all types of air craft here, but nothing that sounded like these engine.

im convinced i've seen a UFO this day in the sky over my house.

In the Beginning of spring I was outside enjoying myself before I went to a party. I heard something in the sky. It was a plane; we do have an airport right by the house, so I figured I would take a picture of it. I zoomed in on the picture only to discover objea round bright glowing ct in front of the plane. I was startled and I didn’t know what to do so I have kept this to myself and a few close friends.

Ball of light appears in distance, reappears outside bedroom window, then shoots directly up into sky at light speed and disappears.

I was laying in bed watching TV in my room late on Christmas night (but technically the 26th since it was past midnight) and through my closed window blinds I noticed a light shining through that I knew wasn't normally there because my bed faced the window directly. For whatever reason I was compelled to get up to see what it was and when I opened my shades I saw what I can only describe as a very bright ball of white light hovering completely still above a church steeple that peaked out above a line of trees in the distance less than a quarter mile or so away. At first I thought it was a helicopter with a spotlight on, but there were no blinking side lights that you usually see on planes, and it was eerily silent and still. It was almost like a glowing white star it was so bright. After a few seconds (I think?) or so, as I was trying to figure out what I was looking at, the light suddenly disappeared to black in a way that looked like the light got sucked i! nward towards the center until it was extinguished. I started to think "hmmmmmm" when no more than one second after it went dark did the ball of light reappear, now directly above my bedroom window! My heart started racing and I don't know when I shut my TV off but now I'm in the complete dark staring at this thing that's right outside my window and I'm horrified. It almost felt like "it"(the ball of light) noticed me staring at it and came in for a closer look at me. Now I can see the underside of the ball and it has all kinds of colors going on as it just hovers there completely motionless. I wanted to run because I was afraid of it but my body was paralyzed in fear, and tears were coming out of my eyes but I wasn't making a single sound. I don't really know how long I was frozen there staring at it, my guess is probably under a minute, but suddenly the ball just shot straight up into the sky at a million miles an hour. The whole time I was unable to l! ook away from it, so much that I remember my face and hands sq! uished a gainst my window really hard as I was fixated on watching it fade into a tiny twinkle in the night sky then gone. Finally free from the paralysis, I woke up my mom to tell her what I had just seen and she thought I dreamed it... I didn't. I told my grandmother the next day, who had claimed in the past to have encounters with UFOs her whole life, and she told me it was "them". It was by far the craziest experience of my life.

6 lights seen over ocean @ smith point park, shirley, NY @ 930PM on 7/25/2002

at about 9:30PM on thursday, july 25, my mother, father and myself were at the pavilion at the smith point beach county park when we spotted six lights lined up in a row out over the ocean. although they might have been there for a longer period of time, we observed these lights for approximately three minutes. the lights just sat in formation, motionless, while a crowd gathered around speculating at what the lights might be. before long, the lights dimmed out, one by one.

i don't think this could have been flares, because these lights were a pale yellowish/white, not red, and also because these lights remained motionless throughout the time myself and the other witnesses were watching the sky. the lights disappeared in sequential order from left to right (east to west from our vantage point) and left no visible smoke trails in their absence.

unfortunately, i can not give a good estimate of distances, but if i had to, i would say the lights were maybe between three and five miles south of the flight 800 memorial and maybe a thousand feet in the air (the lights were just about eye level, and i was standing on the patio of the pavilion there.) the next day, i talked to other family members in wading river, long island, who happened to see the same lights, even though w.r. is on the north shore and shirley is on the south. if i, along with my parents and a good-size crowd saw the same "something" that family members twenty miles away, then others must have seen this.

I sighted 6 fiery lights in formation of the southern coast of Long Island while I was flying an airplane in the vicinity.

I am a flight instructor at Brookhaven Airport in Shirley, NY...21 years old. At about 9:30 i was taking off for a night flight with a student, when I looked and suddenly there were 6 bright yellow lights about 5/10 miles off-shore southern Long Island, directly south of smith point park in the vicinity that flight 800 came down. These lights were in a line formation, with 2 closer on the left and the other 4 on the right staggered. I contacted other pilots on the UNICOM frquency, 122.80 MHZ, and it was confirmed. One pilot in particular was one of my co-worker instructors in another company aircraft. After i started heading north-east bound on course to Rhode Island, i saw the lights disappear and fade out IN SEQUENTIAL ORDER from left to right, 6-5...then 4-3-2-1. I contacted the local air traffic controller to see if it could be confirmed on radar. They said yes, and that they did not know at first what it was either, but that it was now off the radar screen and they suspected it was military activity. Now, i am very aware that the area i am describing is known for military firings and that it is the likely answer, but what i do not understand is how these objects were able to hover. Because it was a near full moon, a harvest moon nonetheless, i could clearly tell that they were not boats, and they did not have aircraft lighting. Also, there were no boats in the area that they, if they were some kind of flare,could have been launched from. And they dimmed out in sequence almost perfectly.



NUFORC Note:

News agencies are reporting on July 26 that objects were witnessed over the state of Maryland, and apparently F-16 fighter aircraft pursued the objects. These are unconfirmed reports, as far as we know. PD

Shape: Light


We saw 2 yellowish/orangish balls of light moving oddly and quickly during daylight.

My mother was driving, I was in the passenger seat up front, it was sometime in the afternoon and still light out. We were headed toward town and shortly before yeilding coming from Porter Road by the Lute Mountain Road intersection, I saw two balls of yellow/orangish light in the sky next to each other. They went to opposite horizons, 'bounced' back next to each other and seemed to dance around each other, before shooting back up and out of sight.

This happened very fast. I remember well having enough time to say, "Mom! MOM!" and she said, "I see it!" And we had a few seconds left, silently staring at these things in disbelief. They moved very quickly.

I also remember it being a clear day, and before the 4th of July, because I specifically remember watching fireworks thinking the whole time maybe that was it but nothing even remotely resembled these things, and there was no sound or the car we were in drowned out any sound there may have been. I didn't want to check that they had a haze, but it may be worth mentioning they sort of glowed.. Like I said they were like balls of light.

I was ten years old when this happened, my mother was just a stay at home mom. But I remember that day very vividly and have always wanted a chance to tell someone experienced with these things in hopes of finding out exactly what those light things were.

My father was in the air force, and his father in the navy.. When I told them this they said they must have been flares until I described the way they moved and how quickly.. Both swore flares do not behave that way.

I did have two experiences since that definitely took me back to that day, but neither compared to this incident.

4 sequentially blinking white lights. Appeared in Southwestern sky, arched almost across my zenith and faded out in the Notheastern sky. I've found reports of the same ufo after I sighted it:http://home.fuse.net/task/TWA-800.html

It had 4 white lights from the side I could see, the were flashing in pattern. When I checked through my binoculars, I could barely make out the lines of the craft, which appeared to be a disk. I watched for maybe a minute as it made it's way higher, going almost directly over our house, then switched windows and continued to watch. My mom was nearby, I called her over and she aggreed the light pattern was like none she'd ever seen (we get a lot of overhead traffic. Helicopters and such). We lost sight of it behind the treetops.
