Cone-shaped object with light beam in Farmville, NC
1987 - Farmville, North Carolina, United States
From the witness: "I grabbed the binoculars and looked at it. This time I could see a distinct shape. It was like an ice-cream cone pointing upward. The flat part of the cone was facing the earth. On the back of the cone was what looked like a small hull or house or hut of some kind. It was about a fifth of the size of the cone itself. Out of this hut came a very faint blue light. It passed directly over our heads at about 15 MPH. That’s how slow it was going." View full report

Pilot sighting of glowing orange sphere in Tranquillity, California
July, 28, 1978 - Tranquillity, California, United States

I have no doubt that the device (or whatever it was) was real - there is absolutely no way that it could have been a product of my imagination." View full report

Grangemouth Electric UFO Photo
November, 12, 1991 - Grangemouth , United Kingdom
