Multiple blinking objects noticed

Was out on my front porch and noticed multiple blinking objects in the sky. (I live in the country, Amish country) I started filming them and all of a sudden out of nowhere this one just showed up and got very close and sat and hovered roughly 2-3 min watching me before I got freaked out and went back inside.

Reported: 2024-07-18 20:43 Pacific
Duration: No more than 1 minute
No of observers: 1

Location: Utica, IN, USA
Location details: Right over the Ohio River and Lewis & Clark bridge. Looked to be more on the Indiana side of River.

Shape: Triangle
Color: Dark.
Estimated Size: Size of a small-medium plane.
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: North or NE
Angle of Elevation: 45
Closest Distance: several hundred feet. Not good with distances tbh
Estimated Speed: Was stationary.
Explanation: Drone - Possible
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

On way home and seen what I thought was typical aircraft until I noticed it was stationary.

Driving home from work and before I get to the bridge I cross (Lewis & Clark Bridge) I notice what looks like typical air craft lights (see them all the time) but they are stationary. As I’m going across bridge I get a better look at it out of the drivers side window. It was triangular in shape, with lights at each point. Lights were flashing white and red. There was a definite shape to it and looked as if there may of been a circular shape on bottom of craft. After seeing it I thought maybe it could be a drone, but I seriously doubt there’s any drones that big or in that shape. I had my windows down and didn’t hear any noise such as helicopter propellers. I thought it weird and decided to report it. Don’t know if anyone else seen it (a few drivers going across but wasn’t paying attention to them).

Was high in the sky then came down lower real close very very bright light

I was outside using the bathroom and I look up and it kind of looked like the moon at first but as I was watching it came down really close to me it was a circle with the brightest light I've ever seen in my life. As I was watching it come closer to me I yelled for my uncle and he came out and seen it also it stayed close for about 2 minutes and then went back up and floated for a while and then disappeared. It's very dark where I'm at no other lights it was very cloudy but you could see this bright Circle among everything else. It was a perfect circle very bright and moved very fast.

Location details: Culver Ave. adjacent to Proctor Park

Shape: Changing
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Animals reacted

2 voiceless objects moving together and undulating as they moved.

The objects at first sight looked like 2 mylar balloons drifting over the house behind me, coming from behind a birch tree. It was a glint of metal that gave me that first impression. I was standing in the middle of the back yard when I saw the 2 objects approaching from the south. As they reached my yard they began to veer east and pass over my back yard directly in front of me about 100-150 feet above. It was at this point that I noticed that both objects were undulating and changing shape constantly. It was almost as if they were turning in on themselves over and over again. They had almost a jellyfish like quality. There was a haze around them, and a bluish/pinkish glow. As they passed they maintained the same speed and stayed the same distance apart. The most striking feature was that they looked alive. Almost like something swimming through the sky. My dog was in the corner of the yard and remained motionless the whole time. I lost sight of the objects as they passed over to the front of the house. At this point I gathered the dog to bring her in the house. I quickly grabbed my phone and headed to the front yard, but the objects were gone. The realization of what I saw made the hair stand up on my neck. It was in many ways terrifying as I was rather close to these objects.

Seen A Stick Shaped UFO

Was Looking Up At The Stars When I Noticed This Weird Stick Shape Object With Glowing White Lights Moving Through The Sky Moving From North To East For About 30-45 Seconds Until It Just Disappeared.

I Took My iPhone Out To Record A Video But Came Out Blurry Since iPhones Pretty Much Suck At Night Sky Video Recording.

Red sphere hovering low on our street

Red Sphere hovering at about the height of the base of the roof on the house it waas nearest. My husband and I were walking the dog and as we went over a small hill it was there hovering in the middle of the street, It looked like it was only a few houses away from us. From where we stood it appeared about 2 ft wide maybe? It was hard to tell. It was a bright red, glowing sphere. This street is well lit, so it was easy to tell that it was hovering all alone with nothing attached to it from any direction. It made no sound. We got nervous and headed the other direction, looked over our shoulders, and it had disappeared completely. The entire sighting lasted only a few minutes.

From the window of my second floor apartment my daughter (12) began shouting for me to look at these lights in the sky. She thought it was a meteor shower of some kind. I ran over and saw these orange lights floating across the sky. The lights appeared to be orange balls, they almost looked like candlelight, like Floating lanterns of some kind. I'm not sure that is possible because we have almost no breeze at all.

I had her run and get my cellphone as I watched from outside on my porch. I began recording the lights with my iPhone 6s. I recorded for 1 minute and 5 seconds until the last light vanished in the distance. There was no noise from the lights at all. They did not appear to move like any aircraft I have ever seen. I'm a 32 year old female and this is this is a first for me!

Glowing red/ green ball bouncing around the sky in non human speeds and maneuvers for 15 min , truly incredible never will forget

The craft was circle in shape and bright red glowing ball when it was flying around for the first ten min it was red with a touch of neon green at the tip it was a perfect circle no beacon lights and no noise or sound what so ever at first I thought was helicopter because it was sitting still in the sky for sec to minutes before flying off in all directions it flew across the sky in seconds for the miles it flew but always retuned to were it started then when hovering straight back down it changed size to smaller and sold green the red color went away it also flew half way to our direction before zipping back to its original starting point after the 15 min it hid itself behind a 180 ft tree top and by then we were tired of waiting for it to fly off once again the craziest thing that this Ufo done was its turns it was flying so fast stopping at a dead hault then change its position and pattern erratically

I was in the military and was in an airborne chopper unit in the 101st airborne and no man made aircraft can maneuver the way this ball of light did.

We were sitting in the back yard, when I looked up and seen a bright orange ball of light moving roughly south to north. As the ball got into line of vision dead on it changed course and started moving east.

About 20 seconds later there was another one as bright as the first that changed direction at the same point. Now with 2 in vision heading east another one came from south and followed, followed by a 4th ball that had the same behavior.

There were blinking red and blue lights, and they were hovering in circles.

There were three of us at work on the overnight shift. Went outside for a break, and were looking up at the stars and noticed one certain "star" at first, it was hovering and we noticed that there were flashing lights within it. Red and really light blue lights were rotating around the craft.

It started to come closer towards us, then went around in a circular motion, and went back up to its original height. We then noticed two others that were doing the same thing. They didn't move like an airplane or helicopter, they just stayed and hovered in one small area.

They didn't come close enough to tell the exact shape.

We didn't hear any unusual noises.

We went back outside about an hour later and they were still there, just in different spots.

Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

We observed three round globes over a portion of East Utica.

This occurred on June 30, 2012 at about 10:02 p.m. There was almost a full moon with the sky cloudy but bright.

While traveling by car East on the Parkway in Utica, NY my wife and I observed three orange round lights that looked like they were moving in a Northeasterly direction. I pulled the car over on Pleasant Street and both of us got out to observe them more.

The lights looked to be the size of soccer or smaller basketballs from where we were standing. They were traveling in a straight line, one behind the other left to right. There was absolutely no sound at all from them that we could hear.

The first one separated from the other two and the light slowly dimmed from view. The remaining two continued going in a Northeasterly direction.

Then the first one (if it was the first one or perhaps another one) came back around (we did not witness it coming back around as we were in the process of getting out of the car; it was just there again)and continued to follow the other two in the same direction. We watched until the lights on all three slowly dimmed and then all three disappeared. The duration of this was probably 2-4 minutes.

We called the FAA Flight Service Station (my wife went on line to try to see who we should call when we got home to report what we saw) and spoke to a gentleman who assisted us. He was going to report this sighting to his superiors and gave us the wind velocity information we understood that you may want. He also gave us the number to report our UFO sighting.

We called at 11:40 p.m., no answer.

The gentleman from FAA called back and left your web site for us to contact you.

We spoke to an officer who said several complaints had come in about fireworks in that vicinity going off. After listening to us he felt confident in claiming that what we saw were fireworks.

Respectfully we have to disagree with him. We know what we saw. Having witnessed countless firework displays over the last 60 years, neither one of us have seen anything resembling what we witnessed (unless something new is out there that explodes silently into perfect round balls and continues to hold it’s shape, color and follows in a straight line until it dims out after 2-4 minutes).

Daytime UFO sighting 8/27/11 Utica, NY

I was driving on Rt 12 North coming out of Utica, NY at approx. 7:30am on 8/27/11 Saturday morning. I was looking straight ahead when it seemed that out of nowhere something appeared. The sun was very bright and it seemed to reflect off of some kind of object, which is why I noticed it. It was large and very bright....it looked metallic with a very odd rectangular shape with sharp points in different spots....almost like a diamond shape. It appeared to be "rotating and hovering" somehow..but did not look like it was "flying". It was not a plane banking and did not look like any known aircraft that I could distinguish. It was a very irregular shape. It did not appear to have any lights on it, but it seemed very bright due to what I thought was the reflection of the sun. Our windows were down and could not hear any type of sound or see any type of exhaust.

My children were with me and they noticed it also. We watched it for about 30 seconds and as I was just getting ready to pull over to take a picture of it with my cell phone when it "disappeared". It was literally that quick. There and then gone. I haven't heard of any other reports in my area lately.

I should add that I live within close proximity to the "out of operation" Griffiss Air Force Base in Rome...that still has "air traffic". That and being within an hour of Syracuse...I see all kinds of planes all the time...and this was NOT a plane.

Fast moving light seen from passenger jet over upstate NY

Object seen during United Airlines flight 200 from Chicago to Albany, NY. I was a passenger on the left side of the cabin, with a view to the north out my window. Lights in the cabin were dimmed aside from a few reading lights and television screens for the inflight entertainment. It was probably sometime between 11:20 and 11:50 pm. The weather was mostly clear, with the stars and moon easily visible and a very small amount of light left from sunset at the northwestern horizon.

Our flight was beginning to make its initial descent to the Albany airport, but still very high- as the cruising altitude of the flight was announced to be 39,000 feet. As a former resident of Upstate NY, I could determine when we flew over Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse.

When we began approaching what I believe to be Utica, and possibly Rome to the North, I noticed a bright point of warm white light which at a quick glance would apprear to be a bright star or planet (no blinking ! to indicate it was a commercial aircraft,) to the north. It was moving significantly faster than our aircraft to the ENE direction. As it was to my eyes, simply a small, steady light, there was no way to determine how large or far away it was from our jet. It is entirely possible that it was a high-altitude aircraft, or satellite, but it seemed to be moving much more quickly than satellites I've observed from a stationary position on the ground. I was only able to observe it for a minute or so, as it flew somewhat parrallel and higher than aircraft, then quickly away. There was no change of speed during the sighting. The light appeared to be flying in a straight line, although I may have seen it swerve slightly a couple of times- possibly due to air movement between myself and the object, or the movement of our aircraft. No other passengers that I was near seemed to notice anything, and as I was traveling alone, I did not alert anyone around me to what I saw.

I consider myself a skeptic, and I am making this report simply because it was something that I could not easily identify. It did not look the same as other commercial or military aircraft I've seen from an airplane, and it was thousands of feet higher than necessary for a plane to use landing lights.

I called mi friend to tell her about it since she lives in Utica too, she came out and saw them too, she took her camera out and took a video of them. There were about 30 lights or more, all together forming a swarm of lights just moving around and making different shapes, they were brighter than the stars that were around them and some of them changed colors, from white to baby blue. Some of the lights kind of got bigger and smaller , they moved around other lights at high speed.

Triangular object seen near Interstate 90, in Utica, NY

I witnessed was a triangular craft flying silently right over my head in Utica, NY. it had lights on each point, and the outline of the craft was clearly visible. The object was moving briskly from west to east.. Seconds after spotting the object, I lost sight of it.. I assume due to light pollution from the city, but it seemed to disappear from sight in a haze. I have seen and reported UFOs before but this is my first glimpse at the triangular craft.

All four appeared to be "floating" with random movement between the two white lights as all four headed toward the east together. The blue-green lights were moving back and forth between the two white lights, which were side by side, but did not appear to be tethered together in anyway. I observed an airliner fly near, but not over or under, these objects.

Shape: Triangle


Triad of lights, maybe satelittes in formation, moving across the sky.

May 11, '04 - 11:10 PM - I skywatch most clear nights and this was an unusually clear and dry night with no moon, so viewing was very good. There were the usual satelitte sightings, a few meteors, and numerous airplanes. Facing approximately due south, I noticed a satelitte about 45 degrees off the horizon, moving south-southeast. Another satellite traveling apparently in formation with the first appeared, and then a third appeared. The three formed an elongated triangle and were very visible with the naked eye. I did use my binoculars to track them however until they faded out one at a time, as most satelittes do. At their brightest, they were about the same brightness as the stars of the Dipper - which is very visible overhead at this time of year. The shape of the triad did not change as they traversed the sky. There were no blinking or strobing lights, and no sound. I am a private pilot and am familiar with aircraft. The stars in between these points of light, we clearly visible; in other words, it was not a solid object. It is possible these were NOSS satelittes but I have not yet found corroborating info. I might add that this is the 2nd time I have seen this apparent triad of satelittes in the night sky. The last sighting was in Washington State a few years ago, from Mt. Rainier - with 3 other witnesses.

Shape: Oval
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

Oval/egg shaped object, white translucent color observed appearing to hover/vibrate moving slightly to the West. Turned away, looked again-object was gone. Then appeared again moving East at high rate.

I was getting into my car when I heard the sound of a low flying airplane. I looked up to see a single engine plane trailing a banner. This plane was traveling out of the South to the North, and traveled directly over my head. I looked away from the plane, unlocked by car, and then looked back up to the plane which was now turning West. I also noticed another plane flying at an altitude higher than the first and traveling out of the Nortwest traveling Southeast, their paths intersecting momentarily. At this time I noticed the object at an altitude between the two planes, at an approx. 30 degree angle behind the first plane and almost directly below the second. I looked back toward the first plane which was now traveling directly West to try and read the banner it was trailing. Thinking when I first noticed the object it was a reflection, I looked back toward it, the second plane having now traveled out of view. The object was still in the same spot that I first noticed it or very close to it, and it appeared to be hovering but moving slightly to the West. I looked away again, trying to process what I was seeing, and then again looked up. The object was gone from the spot I had last seen it. I gazed the skies to the West and as I was turning my gaze to the East, the object appeared coming out of the West going directly East, moving at a very high rate of speed and out of my view. This object while traveling at such a rate of speed made no sound and produced no contrails. I know of no conventional aircraft capable of such speed and able to move off its original spot in one direction, then change direction, and then accelerate to the speed at which I saw it traveling, in the time that it took for this object to do so, and in the small area of space/sky I was able to see. This occurred on a sunny day, with some clouds in the sky. However, the clouds were the big, puffy "cotten ball" type, not the thin, wispy type.

My private plane was followed by a ufo for over 50 miles.

I was flying my plane (a tobago (tb-10) from Rochester NY to Utica NY. I was at 5500 feet msl traveling at 115 kias. The weather was clear and the wind less than 10 knots.

About 10 miles west of Syracuse I noticed an object off my left wing. It was keeping pace with me about 100 feet off the wing. It was shaped like two convex plates one on top of the other wih the two plates being seperated by a row of bright but not dazzling cobalt bule lights. The row of lights was about 2 feet tall. the ufo was about 7 to eight feet thick and about 35 feet in diameter. The skin of the ufo was a metalic silver color. It was a dull almost brushed steel finish.

At first I thought that is was from Griffiss air force base just north and slightly east of my path of travel. When I called Syracuse airport (the controling agency in that piece of sky) they were showing no traffic near me. The Ufo then moved directly ahead of me and still kept pace with me. There was no wake turbulance from the ufo.

I turned off all of my external and internal lights even my instrument panel and radio lights in case it was just some sort of wierd refelection. The ufo kept position with me and orbited around my plane at a rate of one revoultion every five minutes.

I was handed of to Griffiss control after I was west of syracuse they were not showing any traffic near me either.

Shortly after I was handed over to the Oneida county (Utica NY ) control tower and started to decend the ufo pulled away to about 300 feet from my plane when I reached pattern altitude (1500 feet msl) the ufo departed to the north at an incredable speed.

To my knowledge I was the only witness to the ufo. No other pilot that I have spoken to has seen anything like it.

I was not drinking and I never do drugs.

I saw 4 disk shapeed objects flying in fighter plane formation

Don't know how to cut and paste. Will make the report here. Here goes.

Date: May or June 1964 or '65. Time: Just past dark. Sky: Moonless, no clouds, excellent star gazing evening. My father had recently bought a boat and a pair of binoculars to use on the boat. It was a clear evening. I decided to take the binoculars and stargaze. Happened to meet a neighbor of mine out in front of my house. Every star was out, viewing was great! I happened to see large meteor. I quickly pointed it out to my neighbor. I first saw it appear in the SW sky heading NW and going down at about a 10 to 15 degree angle. Its heading would be about 315 degrees. It was huge and visible for much longer than any meteor I had ever seen. It disappeared on the dead west horizon. At the tender age of 14 or 15 I got the idea that it must have been a fairly good size hunk of rock hit earth dead west of where we were. We lived 25 miles north of Detroit at the time. I also figured that it hit well beyond Lake Michigan. I believe the next day in the local papers was the story of a meteorite that hit somewhere in Iowa. Had a map in the article and I was right! Do some research, you might find it and then know when it happened. It hit dead west of us hundreds of miles away in Iowa I believe. Less than a minute later I saw something out of the corner of my eys in the SE skymaybe 30 degrees off the horizon. I quickly locked with both eyes and at first thought I was looking at a flock of ducks or geese. The flock was making an arcing turn to the north and west. As they got directly east they flattened out in a smooth motion and started to pass overhead and go directly west. Didn't seem like birds flapping wings to me, this was smooth and no wing flap sound. I quickly locked on with the binoculars. They were well focused. About 60 degrees off the horizon, east I saw 4 disk shaped objects flying in fighter plane formation. There was structure to them, not just disks with a dome. I could see wind screens. They, the craft, were luminiscent.Didn't really have time to see who the pilots were. And traveling fast . I h! ollered Look to my riend. Adrenalin was pumping I was excited to say the least. I quickly gave the binocs to my friend. He got a quick look before they disapeared from sight, going dead west. Stll no sound what so ever. I kind of thought they may head to where the meteor hit. I believe the ufos were 500 to 1,000 agl ( above ground leve). From the time they were directly overhead to the time they were gone from sight was only a few secnds. Fighter jets would take longer and make a hell of a noise. Single engine private planes probably would be visible for a couple minutes Seemed like maybe going about 20 or 22 times faster than say, a Piper or a Cescna.

This would put the speed about 2,100 mph. This also seems to be a good guess on my part. Next day I told my sisters husband about it. He was in the army in a radar control room at a Nike missle base tat was on a nearby air force base.I told him the time, speed direction. He says they saw them, didn't know what they were and weren't supposed to talk about it. Next day while on my paper route I stopped at a local ice cream stand and told a friend of mine the worked there what we saw. He told me not to tell him, but tell the guy behind me. Turns out to be a guy from another Nike base. He happened to be at in the radar control room at that base at the time and reconfimed what my sisters husband said, including they weren't suppose to talk about it. In the mean time I read everything I can on the subject of ufos. Lot of garbage out thereWhat is real, what is't? I learned to talk to very few people on the subject of ufos. Now the whole reason for this report. In a sighting report you wrote,"We do not understand why if the same witness reported to NUFORCin 1993, he has waited until 2005to report his sighting in 1968. Doesn't make sense to us. PD" I can tell from experience I don't report all ufos I see. Might want to tell the story annonymusly, or tell the story before time runs out as Maj. Marcel did. I have one better sighting that involved 2 Mich State Troopers. I don't talk about that one much.

I am a veteran of naval aviation.I worked as an aviation firecontrol bombing radar tech and aviaion electronic technition working on aviation fireconrtol bombing radar systems, aviation radio navigation, aviation communications, early missle warning systems, and electronic warfare systems. Did this Dec '68to Dec '72. Joined the navy to beat the draft. (68 not a good year to get drafted) also spent 1 year on the CVA 67 Joon F Kennedy aircraft carrier, also a couple air force bases and naval air stations
