And there were no clouds in the sky.

Straight line of 24 to 30 lights equally spaced moving across the sky.

Observed a straight line of white lights - equally spaced - between 24 - 30, perfectly straight line and nearly equally spaced. No lights were flashing, no engine / jet noise heard, no contrails. This line moved across the sky from SW to NE - got to a certain point to NE or our location then the lights would disappear one after the other as they entered that space.

Silver metallic pyramid shaped object rotating heading east.

It was roughly 3 PM in the afternoon. Sky condition bright blue intermittent clouds. In my backyard hot tub while cloud gazing I noticed a pyramid shaped object rotating in the sky moving east. At first I thought It was possibly a drone after realizing it wasn’t I paid attention to the shape of the object. It appeared to be Pyramid shaped and rotating. The sun would catch the reflection and then it would spin and become dull and then it would reflect the sun again. Like a rotating top. It did not appear to be large that’s why I thought at first it was possibly a drone of some type. However I realized it wasn’t close to me so it couldn’t possibly have been a drone and been that visible. It flew east into a cloud and was gone. It was silver metallic colored. The whole of the siding didn’t last more than 30 seconds.

2 unusual crafts, fully lit, flying erratic followed by sustained stillness

On June 1, 2019, at 22:30, son and I driving on Grove Avenue, and noticed 2 lit objects we assumed were drones, but based on erratic movement then sudden sustained stillness – we then revised our take as maybe military helicopter.

We tried to pull over but cars behind us only allowed us to slow down. They were clear, bright white light – perhaps oval or round, and seemed to be low-flying followed by a definite full stop. By time we turned around – they were gone.

I’ve seen thousands of aircraft and son has seen tons of recreational drones. There was nothing familiar about this experience.

It was around 10:15 Tuesday night, July 12th. There were two adults plus children present at the time. It was a very clear note as you could see more stars then normal for are area only living miles from downtown Pittsburgh.

Before we told the children to go inside we were all on are back deck with a perfect view of the sky. My girlfriend had told mentioned how clear it was so we all looked up into the sky. Within seconds we all seen what we had thought to be a shooting star, which then proceeded to act odd. It was a bright light with a trail that stopped in mid air and began to change direction was flying dead east then banked south east. The light would brighten then slowly dim out and slowly glided out into the horizen which is a tree line.

No more then two minutes later, after getting the frazzled kids inside, another object looked like it was on its trail only this craft had 3 lights and had a shape of a triangle and made no noise what so ever. As it flew over us the front light disappeared and it also went of into the horizen.

Approximately 3 minutes later, u could hear the loud roar of a military helicopter chasing after both crafts going in the same direction. After the helicopter was out of view the original ball of light returned. Slowly moving across the sky getting brighter and then dimming out moving in very odd directions then out of nowhere disappearing again. The sky at this time was full of blinking lights from aircrafts which looked like they were flying in grid patterns all across the sky. Everywhere you looked thats all that could be seen. 20 minutes into this a very bright light emerged from out of the tree line from the south west from the direction of our airport/ air force base. This aircraft mad obsolutly no noise and was very large and was shaped like a stealth bomber it banked and flew to the north. No more then 5 minutes later another air craft which looked and sounded the same came from the southwest only this time it went north east. 5 minutes later the ball of! light r eturned in the form of a bright flash. Other aircraft littered the sky and were flying at a high altitude. The ball of light was flying very close to these aircrafts which were in close formations around the object. It would fly in between them then very fast spin around them and gain distance. Then once again disappearing instantly.

We never seen the ball of light again for the next couple hours which we observed the sky but the sky was still VERY active with other aircraft. This all took place until 12:45 wish when we went back inside.

Flying translucent triangle shape and transformer explosion

My daughter, girlfriend and I were walking east up the hill in Badger Prairie Park in Verona, Wisconsin, on 3/29/16. It was a dark night with low cloud cover, and the soccer field was lit up on one side of the hill and the baseball diamond on Verona Road was lit up as well. It was approximately 8:20-25pm or so. The light from the baseball diamond lit up the hill behind us and cast our shadows on the hill.

I suddenly noticed some dim movement up in the sky near the baseball diamond. It looked like a triangular outline of squarish shapes that moved together in unison. It was very difficult to make out and appeared translucent at times. It moved across and over where we were standing and changed shape somewhat as it moved, almost appearing to be wavy like the surface of water with sunlight on it. It looked like it was either reflecting or creating some sort of dim light, which we agreed was cream-colored.

We considered what it could have been, ruled out migratory birds, but it possibly could have been a large bunch of balloons tied together in a line. The wind was blowing fairly strongly and whatever it was was moving in the direction of the wind. The shapes suddenly disappeared, but it could have vanished into clouds, it was very difficult to see.

It is possible that what we saw could have been some reflection off the clouds by the bright lights that were shining on both fields. But what made it even more strange, after seeing that and us wondering what it could be, was that maybe 45 seconds later an enormous explosion occurred on Verona Avenue, lighting up the entire sky. It was obviously a transformer – sounded like one and lit up the sky like one, and I have seen two others – and it wiped the power out on both fields and much of the city (when we got back our power had been out as well). Fire and rescue responded, which we got to see from the height of the hill.

I just looked up the Fire Department site, and they reported two incidents 3 minutes apart that are documented in the links below in their online reports. These would have been within the path of the flying thing, judging by the trajectory that it was going when we saw it. We could also see the sirens that responded to the “alarms” from where we were standing.

http://www.veronafire.com/incidents/detail/334599

In general, the way this shape moved and looked in the light, which was very unnatural looking and not like anything we had seen before, as well as the timing of the exploding transformer, my gf and I both thought that this merited us reporting it.

Tight formation of triangular amber lights spotted east of Verona, NC.

At aproximately 21:15, My wife and I were headed east towards highway 17 on high hill road out of Verona, NC, when I saw a singular amber light and thought to myself, "What planet is shining so bright tonight?"

It then turned into a tight triangle of 3 lights then left of it the same pattern of lights appeared, and then to the right.

Then simultaneously disappeared.

It's a clear night.

These were NOT military or civilian aircraft, and definitely NOT flares from either aircraft, artillary , or morters.

I have spent 15 years on active duty and know my aircraft.

This was NOT anything I recognized.

Red fiery balls of light disappearing into sky

While at Verona Park, my friend and I happened to look up and noticed a red light flying in the sky. While observing it, we noticed that it was flying upward towards space and suddenly disappeared. We observed many planes in the area and their pattern to determine that this was not a regular aircraft.

A few moments later, we noticed two more coming up above the trees. They traveled in the same direction as the first, and disappeared almost in the same area as the first. Each red ball disappeared slightly apart from the others. From our angle, it appeared to be a ball of fire, not huge, smaller than an observable plane. Within 15 minutes or so, we observed 6 of these red balls follow the same path and watched them disappear.

Yellow-Orange glowing sphere and two smaller spheres chasing each other

August 6th 2013, around 10:40 p.m. I was outside playing guitar and having my “before bedtime” cigarette as I do every single night. I had finished playing a song, picked up my cigarette, and looked up at the first brightest star that caught my eye (the star I have since identified as Vega). As I was looking at it, something caught my eye underneath it, and I averted my gaze. The moving object was as bright as Vega, but had to have appeared out of nowhere seeing as how it would have otherwise caught my eyes first.

At first glance I thought it was a satellite (It could not have been a plane because I can identify when something is or not). As I was watching the object move, it quickly flashed white and immediately after started to glow a yellow-orange color, but the glowing grew in size. Now if you take a nickel between your thumb and forefinger and extend your arm, that is how big the object appeared to be glowing. It continued on like this for about six to eight seconds before returning to its previous state.

As soon as the object had returned to its normal size and shape, another moving object appeared almost in the same place as the first, but was not as bright. This one followed the same path as the first object. Now the distance between the two, I measured with my pinky finger and my thumb on my left hand. The degree (relative to my hand and extended arm) was a little over 90 degrees. The second object did not flash or glow or even grow in size, but six seconds after the second, appeared the third object. This one was around 1.5 to 2 inches (using tip of thumb to first thumb knuckle to measure) behind the second object. They all appeared to be following each other and they all originated from the same vicinity, roughly 2.5 inches underneath Vega.

After all three objects disappeared out of sight, I told my wife to look up the UFO hotline number and I called and left my message. Definitely a strange experience, and one of many I’ll never forget.

In the night sky, six people saw 3 orange flaming pulsating objects slowly move across the sky.

At approximately 11 P.M. on Saturday September 2 ,2012 in Verona ,PA [5 miles outside of Pittsburgh] myself and 5 other people were outside of a restaurant /bar in the parking lot walking to enter the establishment. We suddenly noticed an orange , glowing, pulsating fireball object in the sky. It was slowly moving soundlessly across the sky, about the height of a high flying helicopter. After about 5 minutes it just vanished. Then coming from the same direction that it originally came from, were two more identical flying objects.These also moved soundlessly ,slowly and steadily across the night sky until they just vanished before our eyes.

The objects appeared to be flaming and pulsating. One person took a video with his cell phone. The object appeared differently when looking at the video, as the orange flaming colors were not there. It appeared to be a circular white object on the video, but it still showed the PULSATION very clearly. I took a picture with my cellphone camera.

One other thing of possible interest. Due to the full moon, we could see many chemtrails in the sky...and a few people in the group thought they saw pulsating white “stars” off in the distance.

As far as a description of the observers, my friend and I are musicians, and the other four people were not friends , just fellow customers of the restaurant. We all saw the same thing.

3 light ufos over central ny

I and my mother where able to observe 3 seperate craft moving in odd directions, crisscrossing in singular spots and not near eachother. One was in one point of the sky, and each was approximately 40 degrees away from each other in the sky from our position.

While two where mostly stationary, one which we saw first continued to move in patterns as if having issues maintaining its point. This one also seemed to change colors occasionally white, red, and green.

My mother says that she can see at least one nightly, and wanted to show me.

I remained watching for about ten minutes before going back inside as they seemed as if they'd be there awhile. They were high in the sky.

UFO sighting Verona NY November 10, 2010

I was driving down the road when I saw two light lights with a red light in the center of them. I asked myself what it could be and assumed it was a water tower or something of the like. I turned north bound on the small back road just past blackmans corner rd. when I saw the lights again. As I continued to drive I noticed the lights were coming towards me. I said to myself "this is not normal" and pulled off to the side of the road. I got out of my car and walked behind it.

The object was Diamond shaped about 15 feet long by 15 feet across. It was approximately 25 feet off the ground and only about 25- 30 feet right of me. It traveled roughly 25-30 mph across the length of the field parallel the road. It made a light humming noise. Though the lights on it were some what distorting my view of it I could see the shape perfectly. I could tell it was made of a metal of some kind. It almost looked bronze underneath with the lights reflecting off it. It had two white lights, one on either side and a red light at the front of it.

I am a logical person. I do not even like Star Track but I know what I saw was nothing that could be described as anything we commonly know. Three cars drove by me as I stood there looking at the object so I am sure someone else must have seen it.

Five Stingray shaped, bright Metallic objects observed in sky.

My friend and I both witnessed 5 unidentified aircraft while walking home from school. We are both 18 years old, and I am also a Member of my High Schools NJROTC and an avid aviation buff. We were walking home and were traveling North Northwest. I noticed 5 extreamely bright metallic objects in a steep bank to their port sides all in a column with equal spacing between each craft. They then vanished into the clouds, when they reappeard about 2-3 sec later they were in a steep vertical climb. They then leveled out and performed in tandem a bank to their starboard side, once again disappearing into the clouds it was very overcast the sky was so dark it almost looked and bluish gray this also made the crafts more visible. The crafts reappeared 2-3sec later again but this time considerably lower in altitude and were abreast of each other equally spaced and were in a port bank, after leveling out they broke off into a group of two and three with the two intrail and about 1 mile behind the other three. the crafts re-entered the clouds and when they reappeared they were lined up vertically one on top of the other equally spaced and hovered in this for about 15-20 sec. The higher craft then dropped down vertically ( No Gradual Descent ) and spaced out equally next to what would have been the "base" craft for the vertical formation and were now all horizontal. the craft regrouped into the "two" and "three" formation heading northwest they "three" formation was intrail this time with the "two" leading they were abreast of each other one from the outer right side slid up under the starboard side of the outer most craft of the "two" formation. the two craft in the rear now climbed slightly above the leading "three" but kept their vertical and Horizontal separation the craft were all spaced at equal distance. I observed no "nav ", beacon , or strobe lights on these Aircraft, nor was there any sound accompanying them. The shape of the crafts' could be compared to that of a stingray except the nose and leading edges were smoothly arched and melded into one with pointed tips going to the rear of the craft along the leading edges of the "wings". and from the rear of the craft protrouded a long narrow tail which was thick starting and the base of the craft and thinned out the further back it went making a smooth narrow tip at the end, the undersides of the fuselage were a dark gray almost black color. The flight patterns exhibited by these craft are like none I have witnessed. I only get Commerical and General Aviation traffic over my area and the crafts flight pattern does not resemble that of hulking airliners and small private aircraft. A general aviation flew over our heads about 4 minutes later and my friend who knows nothing on the subject of aviation looked up and said " Now thats an Airplane." I went back to try and take some pictures but when I returned they had disappeared.

ufo sighting in central ny

At about 5:45 pm eastern time, we witnessed at 1st what looked like 2 large yellow lights in the sky. we thought it was possibly a plane getting ready to either land or just taking off. we were not anywhere close enough to an airport for a plane to be that low.

As i drove up over a bridge we continued to watch it. about 2 minutes later, it became clearer to see what shape it was. it was a disk shape and you could see numerous lights going around the craft. it was exactly what you would see on tv.

i pulled over to watch it and it then only showed 2 white lights, with 2 flashing red lights on each end. withen seconds it disappered. i am not a believer in ufo's or aliens, but what i did see looked exactly like a ufo!!

figure 8 in the sky

we watched a fog looking light in the shape of a figure 8 move across the sky outside our barn ... at first we thought it was a plane in the clouds but after looking things over we think it was a ufo ... 1. there was no clouds in the sky ...it was perfectly clear out 2.the craft moved very slowly across the sky as if it was watching something ... it faded in and out and as it faded out it looked like 2 headlights shining threw the fog but as it got brighter it looked like 2 headlights hooked together shining threw the fog... there was no fog, clouds or any thing like that in the sky ... as for size it was huge at least 4 times the size of a jet (747)it was moving north very slowly ( a little faster then a huvor)...as for the position in the sky we were looking at the big dipper and we followed the handle to the end following the same direction out a ways (maybe 2 hands) is where we saw it .. we watched it for about 15 mins and decided to go get a camera but when we returned it was gone

Transparent object of unknown origin, exhibiting previously unknown capabilities, appears overhead.

October 22, 2001 12:35 AM I was looking straight up in the sky when I noticed that the sky appeared to be moving. I looked closer, and noticed a triangular object that appeared to be transparent, and outlined in lights. The lights were 1/2-1/4 the light of the nearest stars. The body of the craft moved from the 90 degree angle that it first appeared to me, to approx. 45 degrees on the Southern horizon before disappearing (it became too hard to see- IT DID NOT SPEED OFF). The body of the craft fluctuated, acting as if it were floating atop the waves in the ocean. The lights all appeared to be fixed to the craft, and moved in unison with body. The craft appeared to be bigger than a full moon in size. The craft appeared to be moving steadily, and my view of it lasted approximately 7 seconds. What was interesting, is that it seemed like you could look through the body of the craft, and see the sky behind it.

Very close 15' a few miles

A friend and I were traveling from Monett, Mo and Springfield, Mo. on Hwy 65. This was around Oct 1968. Thought we saw a combine working in a field. Kept watching because it didn't look right. It moved directly in front of our car. Maybe 15 ft. in front about 10 ft. off ground. It looked metallic but details were hard to see because it was so bright. It appeared to be about 10' x 20' It stayed in front of us for a few miles then quickly took off. We didn't want to tell anyone but told my dad, he said he read in the newspaper a girl had a similar encounter in same area but her car died and lost all power. Power resumed after it left In our case I didn't want to influence my friends story so I asked what he saw. He saw the same as me. Put wrong date at top of form because this was so long ago
