Characteristics: Aircraft nearby, Electrical or magnetic effects, Missing Time

Observed multiple orbs move erratically with irregularity with diversified speed within a thirty minute time period.

Observed two orbs move atypically, zig zagging at different speeds. At times remained item. When we reviewed the footage captured, the video closed automatically and disappeared from library. About ten minutes later, another orb appeared and descended very fast and then sharply zig-zagged with e outbound speed and continued a pattern of irregularity and disappeared, this film is the only footage preserved. Oddly, there was a small prop plane encircling the area repeatedly where the orbs were spotted. The two-engine plane flew only a couple hundred feet above land and it is unusual to see a plane fly so low in this populated area.

Three red lights in the low sky over Williamsville, NY.

I was simply driving down the road on my way home when I saw what looked like three red candles in the sky. I slowed down and turned off my headlights to get a better view and before I knew it my car was directly underneath the lights. They seemed to be more independent moving than of a single object. I spooled myself fairly quickly and drove away looking back over my shoulder to see if I was in fact putting distance between myself and the lights. While looking back I thought I saw a fourth independent light in the horizon. They were all noiseless (at least from the car) and low enough to the ground that I lost them from my sight when enough trees were in the way.

Shape:


Light flash every 42-43 seconds, remains stationary in sky almost due south.

Observed a bright flash of white light in the sky in the Virgo Constellation each night from June 12th thru June 15th. The light was kind of like a strobe and flashed briefly about every 42-43 seconds.

We observed it each night starting around 9:30 pm Central Standard Time and would watch for several hours and determined that the light stayed in the same location in the sky and the Planet Saturn and Spica which were in the area at the start would move off to the west and the light would remain in the sky at almost due south.

We were observing in an area which has very little light interference and is located at the following location: 36* 58’ 13” N 90* 21’ 34.88” W at an elevation of 390ft.

There were seven in our group ranging from 35 to 65 years of age and we all saw this flash for hours each night. We also were at the same location around this time last year star gazing and do not remember ever seeing this flashing light before

Multiple bright red lights in arch shape near Buffalo, NY

From Buffalo, NY Approximately 10:30 p.m. EST April 27, 2012 In the low southern sky, an arch of 4 bright red lights with no strobe effect, accompanied by a small group of 3 to 4 red lights to the lower left of the arch. Each light seemed to disappear slowly one at a time, therefore cannot be certain if this was a single craft or multiple crafts. Lights moved together as a group from the west to the east. Considering the distance, lights seemed large.

On Sept 10th 2:30 p.m in Williamsville NY. In clear skys my daughter captured an amazing photo of a UFO

On Sept 10th at 2:30 p.m. on a sunny, clear skied afternoon with very little cloud cover my daughter was sitting on the couch looking up through the skylight when she first noticed the object from far way. She had asked her little Brother “What is that”? As she pointed toward the object that was far away, small but approaching her Brother was too busy playing to look at the object. In a matter of seconds the object got bigger and bigger as it got closer and as it directly passed above her view in the skylight it was very large and she realized this was nothing she had ever seen before. She started yelling upstairs to my wife “What is that”? My Wife thought the “thing” my daughter was franticly referring to was a bug and didn’t think too much of it and called from upstairs “no”. Knowing this was something out of the ordinary my Daughter then grabbed the camera off the kitchen counter ran to the front bay window and snapped a picture of the Unidentified Flying! Object. She than became a little frightened and ran to get my Wife. She didn’t see where or how the object had left the area but when she returned a few minutes later the object was gone. My wife then looked at the picture and was amazed at what my Daughter’s picture had captured in the sky. We have included the picture she had taken from our window and we are working on sketches that we hope will show scale to help figure out the altitude, distance and size of the item. Any help you can offer in ways of an explanation would be greatly appreciated. Although we feel the picture speaks for itself!!

Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Lights on object

Amber orb floats quickly across the sky

The observers were three in number a retired police officer, his 40 year old son and a 18 year old male.

It was 1:00 am and the three witnesses were outside their cabin at the Chaonia Landing resort doing some star gazing. It was a brilliant star field and the Milky Way weaved a misty pattern in the night sky.

A lightly illuminated orb seemed to suddenly float across the sky. No sound and about the size of an asprin tablet in the sky. It floated acrosss the sky from one horizon and disappeared on the other. It took only a dozen to 15 seconds and was gone. You could see it diappear briefly behind a few puffs of clouds and quickly reappear. It had a floating action, but moved at considerable speed at a 60 degree angle from the horizon, seemingly faster than a plane would. It appeared to be self illuminated by a low intensity orange amber glow.

I never saw anything quite like it before and it is the first time I saw anything in the sky I could not explain! .

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

Orange-yellowish, hazy lights in the shape of a triangle.

Living in the immediate area of the Buffalo-Niagara International Airport, actually in the flight path of the alternate crosswinds runway, I enjoy laying outside on many evenings watching the stars and flight paths of jets/planes. Also do this at property in Springville, New York which is approximately 35 miles south of Buffalo.

On approximately this night, my daughter and I went outside at 20:50 hours to hopefully see a satellite that the local news stations had said was to pass over the Buffalo area around 21:00 hours and be visible with the naked eye. I have always read that a visible satellite was pretty much a constant moving white light that would move across the skies. If I remember correctly, I believe the news reported that this satellite was to move from the NE to the SW or vice versa. Not positive at this point, but I believe this is what they had indicated. It was to pass over at approximately 21:05 hours.

As my daughter and I waited and watched, we apparently missed seeing this or just were not looking in the correct direction. We continued to stay outside and enjoy the night sky above. At approximately 21:15 hours my daughter first noticed the following and then I did. We are not crazy and we both know what we saw.

What we saw came across the night sky, curving from the NNW to the SSE. In the shape of a triangle were 3 hazy, dull, orange-yellowish colored lights moving/gliding in a quiet, peaceful motion slightly rotating on its own axis. It appeared to be only, say, a few hundred yards above us and well below the night stars in the sky. It was no aircraft, no helicopter, no weather balloon, no satellite, no military crafts, etc., etc. And funny thing is, its path of going to the SSE was basically going just west of the airport, over the Cheektowaga area.

My daughter and I looked at each other in excitement and somewhat disbelief with what we both saw. We know we saw something and we are convinced it was an UFO. I for one have always believed in UFO’s and been very much interested in them for years. We did not report this to the Town of Amherst Police or any other agency. There was nothing in the media outlets, papers or radio in the following days after that I am aware of.

What we saw- 1 large ring with a middle that was not filled in, in the sky with 2 jets in the back and one flashing yellow light in between the jets. At first, we were confounded as to why such an object was so high and would be flying in daylight. We then took out binoculars and discovered that all 5 of us could see the same thing and to make sure, we each went into seperate rooms and drew what we thought we had seen. In awe we discovered that we all had the same sketch. After we had finished drawing we returned outside and saw the same basic shape dart across the sky extremely high up at speeds unknown for known aircraft. We did not have the binoculars at this time and were unable to see if it was the same ufo as we had seen before. Roughly 30 minutes later we saw a helicopter at pitch black at night coming across in the same pattern the ufo had traveled. We thought this was very suspicious because helicopters rarely, if ever fly into or within 10 miles of where my house is. This my be irrelevent but is an extreme coincidence and could have been a mercy flight.

It hovered right above my house for 20 seconds, it looked like it was searching for something.

It was about 11:30 p.m. at night, I was sleeping and my dog at the end of the bed by the window awoke me with a bark. He was looking outside so I decided to see what it was. At first I thought it was an airplane, but then I thought that it was much to slow to be an airplane. It was incredibly low to the ground, only 20 feet above my house. It was a giant triangle about 75 feet on each side. There was a light on each point of the triangle and mabye one in the middle but it was too faint to tell. It hovered above my house for about 20 seconds until it disappeared into the night sky. It looked like it was searching for something.

Four UFO's sighted over WIlliamsville, NY

While talking to my friend on the phone at 9:15 pm, I glanced out my bedroom window towards the southeast sky and noticed a light moving slowly across it to the left. Figuring it was a plane, I grabbed my camera just to see how well the zoom would work at that distance, and lined the light up near the center. When I lowered the camera, two more lights had appeared to the right of the first light, with one being distinctly further back, forming a triangle pattern. The first light moved behind some trees, while the two newer ones remained hovering for a few moments. Then, the one that was more distant that had been at the center of the triangle began moving to the left as well, before disappearing behind the same trees as the first one. The third and rightmost one had begun moving as well, and I managed to take some photos of it as it moved to the left. As the final light flickered behind the same stand of trees as the first two, a fourth light suddenly appeared near where the middle light had been. This light only hovered for a few seconds, a minute at the most, before it vanished as suddenly as it had appeared. This was at approximately 9:24 pm. The entire time I described what was happening to my friend, and continued to talk to him for approximately ten minutes afterwards, at which point I began writing this report. All three of the lights were a dull orange color the entire time, with no change in intensity or shape.

Hovering light seen over Williamsville, NY

On Oct. 11, 2004 at approximately 11:15 PM, I looked out my bedroom window again as I was going to bed to make sure there were no sign of unknown individuals taking building materials from my development, since it happened twice this summer.

While looking at the South-western sky, I noticed a steady, unblinking light hovering approximately 5 degrees over the tree line. While I watched the unmoving light, another light appeared to approach the hovering light from the south-east (left) at approximately 2 degrees above the tree line, at times passing behind the branches. This light moved relatively fast and appeared to veer back off to the left before reaching the hovering light. I'm not sure if I saw red and green aircraft warning lights on the bottom of the moving light, as it dissappeared behind the trees and I was focusing mainly on the hovering light.

I briefly walked away from the window to fully shut off the sink faucet in the bathroom across from my bedroom so as not to wake my parents up, and when I returned to the window the hovering light had appeared to have shifted to the left by a few degrees, although I could have been standing at a different portion of the window. As I continued to watch, a plane came over the trees to the left of hovering light and passed over my neighborhood, banking and showing it's distinctive red and green belly lights as I heard the usual airplane sounds.

After the plane dissapeared to the south-east, the light continued to hover for maybe two more minutes, and I had begun to think it might be a light on a cellphone tower or something, before it slowly began to drift to the south-east (left) passing behind the trees, and appearing to stop and move back a short ways to the right before resuming it's course to the left. Also, as the light began moving, it changed in color from a bright white to a dull amber color. After that, I lost sight of the light and checking the time it was 11:24.

Repeat sighting of 9/6/00, with 3 stationary, star-like objects in a triangle formation constantly blinking red, green and white lights

Exactly 1 week later, they've come back! On 9/6/00, I reported a sighting to you of 3 stationary, star-like objects which were constantly blinking red, green, and white lights lasting a period of 3 1/2 hrs. over our area of Williamsville, NY. I've watched the skies for a week now and last night (9/13/00) they were back. My husband and I saw the first object last night at 9 p.m. in the clear SSE sky. Tiny and un-moving like a star, but visibly blinking red, green and white lights. We searched the sky for any other objects and found 2 identical objects at the NE and WNW sky. We watched these objects fixed in this triangle formation for 3 hrs. until they were obscured by overcast clouds. Except for their position, these objects were identical to the objects seen 7 days ago and like last week's sighting, there were an unusally high number of other aircraft flying about them.

We observed 3 objects with multi-color lights which were stationary over our house for 3 1/2 hrs.

At around 10:00 p.m. on 09/06/00, my husband and I were driving home and noticed an UN-MOVING, star-like object in the west sky that had RED, GREEN and WHITE blinking lights. We stopped and also saw an identical object in the east, also stationary with consantly blinking lights. They were sized like a pea at arms length. After arriving home, we watched them with binoculars in the clear starlit sky for 3 and 1/2 hours, one on each side of our property. After 2 hours we saw a third identical object, though a bit dimmer or at a greater distance from us, that was located a short distance (about 1/2 inch) NW of the eastern-most object. Though I think we may have observed unusual objects or events a couple times before, this is our first report. We are college-educated, rational but curious about these events. We also had observed many PARALLEL and CROSSED CHEM-TRAILS over our area that same afternoon and early evening.



NUFORC Note:

The report of multi-colored objects, stationary in the night sky, seems reminiscent of "twinkling" stars. We will invite the witnesses to look at the night sky again to confirm. On the issue of "chemtrails," we do not understand how witnesses on the ground could distinguish between normal contrails, of which there are many, and the alleged "chemtrails." PD
