Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Started out as yellow streams of light. Then it became a brighter yellow (like a fireball). Then seemed to 'explode' into eight or more small yellow/white 'balls' and then became bluish as they fell towards the ground. They moved slowly, almost like parachutes. I lost sight when they fell behind a tree.

Size of Object(s)

Relative size: the trails started out at about 8 inches each, very narrow (approx. 1/4-1/2 inches). When it merged it wasn't longer, just wider maybe about 1-1 1/2 inches. The balls that fell from the light were about the size of a half dollar.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Suburban southeast Miami. We're approx. 1/2 mile from the Florida turnpike. There is a nuclear power plant approx. 15 miles southeast of here, there's also an airbase (Homestead, FL) in that area. There's a municipal airport northwest of here (approx. 6-10 miles) and another one in the southwest (though I'm not sure how far). It was just before dawn.

Full Description & Details

I was returning home from walking my dog. I first thought I was seeing those planes that leave a trail of smoke, but it was still pretty dark outside. I was also thinking meteorites or comets. Then the four lights merged into one large fireball. I thought it was an explosion, but then this 'comet' just continued moving at about the same slow speed. Next, little 'balls' seemed to explode from the 'head' of the trail of light (they arched up and out). There were at least eight. They started out as yellow/white lights, like I've seen in fireworks, but they became bluish as they moved towards the ground, almost like parachutes (but round). I lost sight of them when they continued falling behind a tree. It started out to my right (southwestern sky) and moved towards the center and left.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Possibly, but it was strange how it merged and then seemed to explode and fall slowly towards Earth. Looked like an inverted fireworks explosion.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I used to read a lot about UFOs, but haven't read much lately. I believe there are others 'out there somewhere.' However, that being said, I think a lot of 'sightings' can probably be explained, but not all. I just thought this was really unusual, and would love to get an explanation.

Hang-glider shaped, silhouette only, no lights or sound.

Size of Object(s)

The relative size was about 4 moon diameters,which would be about two degrees from wingtip to wingtip. If it was at the height it appeared to be it's actual size must have been enormous. Far larger than the planes which fly over from Sydney Airport.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Urban area, Wonoona a few km north of Wollongong and 60km south of Sydney. Large Airport in Sydney (Mascot) and a Naval base with an air wing 50km south at Nowra.

Full Description & Details

I was lying on a reclined banana chair stargazing around midnight, when a large dark shape moved into my field of vision from the north, visible because it was blocking out the stars. When it crossed the Milky Way I got a good look at its shape, which was very similar to that of a hang glider. It looked very high in the sky because it ther seemed much air glow between me and it. It was about three- four moon diameters from wingtip to wingtip. It disappeared over my roof and I ran to the south side of my house in time to see it dissappearing into the light haze over Wollongong, still very high in the sky. I tried to get my partner outside to see it but it was gone too quickly. From the direction it came from it must have flown directly over Sydney. I reported it to my local radio station the next morning and they rang me back later in the day saying that they'd checked with the Airport and military and that neither were aware that the craft had flown over.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Definitely some kind of constructed craft. Could be man-made but definitely not conventional. Have seen lots of aircraft flying out of Sydney for many years, but have never seen anything like this before or since.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Black wedges, non-reflective, dull, no details at all except the slightly rounded three points each--all were identical in shape and size--like an "A" with the bottom closed and that proportion, as well.

Size of Object(s)

I wanted to think they were at least 30-45 feet long and a few hundred feet up at the most, because I had ease of focus on the skins. Proportionate width at the rear of the triangleular wedge would be as the closed bottom of this "A". there were three identical images, clear as day, in a cloudless sky.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

Within five hundred feet, I thought. They were then straight above me.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Rural with sub-urban within a few miles. Lake Norman area, with boating, lake houses, etc. not far away.

Full Description & Details

In my Cadillac, with a large windscreen, from the East side of Hwy. I-77 going north, just north of Charlotte, NC closely approaching Lake Norman and crossing it, I saw three black wedges in the sky, moving slowly in formation with the center one leading and the one to its left about 1/3 further back but at its side and the one to its right about 1/2 way back and also at its side. they moved as one, with no variation in direction, height from ground, speed or angle or flight.

When I first saw them, I estimate they were at about 37 degrees up and about 45 degrees forward from my ground position.

I slowed in good traffic and watched closely, a 1-second glance to them, 1-second glance to the open road--I couldn't take my eyes away--every other second back to them.

They approached too slowly for usual aircraft; I put the window down because I couldn't hear them and they were going too slowly for forward aerodynamics to be holding them up. But there was absolutely NO SOUND! Eventually, they were over me and I had to lean forward to see them beyond the roof of my car, so, I put my head into the window and watched as they passed almost straight up from me and very few degrees to my right. They had now passed over I-77 and were still traveling soooo slowly, still in constant formation and looking much larger.

I looked carefully for something with which I could compare the height or size of them, but nothing worked, although I could focus on the skin of the objects plainly and there were NO fin-type, figured, protruding or inset or colored or openig type details AT ALL to identify anywhere on them--only those NON-reflective wedges in the bright sun. Even at the distance at which I first saw them, they were just flat looking wedges and as they got closest I could see the three points were slightly rounded and not sharp. It was like looking at the bottom of an old-fashioned iron women once used to iron clothes with EXCEPT that all sides were geometrically straight, no curves and no deviations in shape anywhere, at all.

Of all these things I am sure.

Thank you for allowing me to finally have a place to relate this experience.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Absolutely not. I study and watch weather, clouds, the sky--SkyWarn, etc.

That same year I had a strange experience at my home in Charlottre with sounds and lights only, but had never seen, read of or cared about anything "ufo" or "alien."I was a constant worker and watched television to check the weather and loved reading more than anythng else. Since that time, I have seen recentreports of air pilots, military, commercial, law agents, physicists, etc, having reports made officially. That is why I got the nerve to share. At the time, I did not want to be labeled.

The craft was disc shape ,it was emanating a bright glowing white light over the whole structure,it was slowly spinning in an anti clockwise direction ,the shape was not clearly defined as it was giving off a bright luminosity more likes large Catherine wheel .

Size of Object(s)

I estimate the size to have been about 300 to 400 feet in diameter and about 20 to 25 feet tall.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

The craft was about 500 feet altitude ,it was about 600 metres from my position.

Description of Area / Surroundings

I was on a military base and was guarding several nuclear bombers.

Full Description & Details

I was a serving member of the British Royal Air Force my trade was as an RAF police dog handler and my duties was to provide night time security patrols with my Alsation dog guarding a number of then Handley Page Victor nuclear bombers.While on duty one night during October or November at about 11pm I had been patrolling for about 5 hours and decided to sit for a moment under the wing of one of the aircraft leaning against the wheels facing to the rear of the bomber,I hadn't, sat there for long when something made me look up above the aircraft and what I saw took my breath away and made me feel somewhat frightened ,for there hovering above the plane was a very large disc shaped craft it was spinning slowly in a clockwise direction,it was glowing with a very incandescent bright light my estimate that it must have been at least 300 to 400 feet in diameter ,I was used to the size and configureation of the large aircraft we were guarding but this craft was a great deal larger than any aircraft that we had to look after.

This craft was something that was not of this world and definitely far beyond our technology,I observed the craft for approxiamately what I believe to be about 2 to.3 minutes before it slowly moved off in a northerly direction it gathered speed and went off at lightning speed nd disappeared in seconds. I immediately walked to the next patrol area and spoke to one of my fellow dog handlers but he hadn't seen anything .I was picked up at midnight to return my dog to the kennels by land rover ,the senior officer said that I should write a report the next day this I did and luckily another sergeant who was on the other side of the airfield had also seen the craft and also was there to write up a report.Unknown to me the British Air Ministry at the time had issued a directive that any unusual sightings had to be reported to the appropriate authorities .

To conclude my statement , I have never written about this incident before but thought it was time to record what I had witnessed that night ,it is something that after all these years is still a vivid memory and one I will never forget.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Definitely not any man made object ,I am sure it was of superior technology .

On to the left in the dark sky there was a crystaline object that about slightly less than a foot long. It was in the shape of a convace lens. The sound of a aeroplane came from that object. It looked like a concave lens lit with a cluster of LED bulbs. It had very thin fine black lines that seemed to create nearly five segments on it.

The object was say wide as an open, spread out palm and as long as from the tip of the middle finger down to half the forearm.

Full Description & Details

As early as 3 a.m on a certain morning in the month of November or December 2011 which I dont' recall exactly now I was awakened by the low murmuring sound of an airplane. As the sound continued for nearly five minutes I was made curious and I stepped onto the balcony that faces west of my house to see what it is. On to the left in the dark sky there was a crystalline object that about slightly less than a foot long. It was in the shape of a convace lens. I stood there watching it trying to confirm if the sound came from that object. It looked like a a concave lens lit with a cluster of LED bulbs. It had very thin fine lines that seemed to create nearly five segments on it. For witness sake I woke my husband too to see it. He too had witnessed what I did and agreed that the sound came from that. I had been out there for nearly twenty minutes altogether. And my husband elt a little anxious about leaving me alone to be out there. So we got back into our house. But, the next day when I reported this to my friends they teased me and dismissed the whole story as a mere joke. But I am quite sure about what I saw that night except that I had nobody to believe this.Since then I've been trying to get in touch with Kodaikanal Vaino Bapu observatory here in India and also another similar place too. I sent them mails reporting this but there has been no response, Though nobody else seems to have sighted this here in Pondicherry, nor was there any report in the newspapers about this. However, that I saw something as strangeas that is true and the experience tells me that there is something more to it.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Definitely none of these. It looked different from any of the above

They look a little bigger than most stars in the sky. That's as much as I can describe them. I've only seen them in the sky.

It's a small town, we have 2 military bases (more like military airports - so we are used to seeing military airplanes and helicopters, and we are sure these new sightings are not any of that) and yes, there is an electrical power plant too and a very large woods like area next to it that is used for crop testing (INTA, Instituto Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria). Other than this, it's a normal place, a small town, surrounded by two highways.

Full Description & Details

I live with husband in a house located in a small town called Ituzaingó, in the outskirts of Buenos Aires City. Ever since March 2011 many neighbors from my town have been witnessing strange lights in the sky. Our city is still smog free and we are used to a starry sky at night. We like to spend family time in our back yards in the evening and usually shows the kids all the stars and teach them their names and all that. There are 2 small military airports near our town, and seeing helicopters and small planes is also very common. Like I was saying, since last March 2011, we have started seeing strange flying objects in our beautiful sky. First they were visible only from around 6 pm till dawn and after some time, they were also visible during the day.

Most people started video shooting what they saw and even created a blog where they exchange their opinion and share their videos and photos.

We are sure these weird lights are not airplanes or helicopters, but we cannot tell what they are exactly either.

Last May 2011, we finally got a TV channel come to our town so we could share what we had been experiencing the past months, and as the reporter was delivering the news, one of these objects flew right behind her: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1b6uwc6QLw&feature=related . As you can see, this was still during daylight.

Surveillance cameras caught these objects on tape too.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwKCK26ECLo

My sister took a photo of one of one of these flying objects, using her small Sony camera and when she zoomed it, she saw 3 fire-like balls, forming a triangle: ( I took this from her Facebook, account, she may still have the original, if you want it)

This is the blog our neighbors created: http://testimonioovni.blogspot.com/ It's in Spanish, but I can help translating if you need it.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Oh, these are definitely not planes or helicopters. They can fly at very high speeds, then stay still for several minutes, their lights blink sometimes and change their colors.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Blue Triangle Formation - These ones are vibrant blue, very bright in colour. Not neon, but if were to have a blue light bulb, very very blue. They are often the most far away UFOs I have seen and so it is hard to determine they're shape. The blue light they omit is definitely orb shaped however this could be an optical illusion. Regardless, they always form a triangle and they are always in groups of three. The triangle however is not equilateral; it changes shape depending on how it moves, it is as if the lights sort of hover around, maintaining a clear triangle shape. White Lights - These are much further in the foreground than the blue lights, sometimes they are very high up but i've seen them before as low as you would expect to see a helicopter flying on top of an emergency landing pad on top of Dunedin Hospital (the main hospital in my city). They make no noise when they move and are always orb shaped, if not slightly ovular. This is horizontally ovular though, similar to a water melon. They can move very quickly at make incredibly sharp turns without any apparent braking. They do not often fly in straight lines, more often than not they fly in a long curved line. When I have seen them in the sky they move incredibly fast, unlike any airplane etc. They literally make U-turns and 90degree turns with ease. If they are stationary they flutter and hover around, similarly to a moth does to flame, or how a butterfly or bumblebee moves when it is trying to maintain a level flight. They definitely move like bumble bees.

Size of Object(s)

1-3cm depending on encounter.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

As high as you would expect to see a commercial airplane. Unsure of actual distance.

Full Description & Details

For the past six months myself and a group of friends have been observing the sky. We're a grounded bunch of people, none of us are into drugs, nor do we get wasted often, we're a pretty sober bunch. I decided i'd keep an eye out because it began to really interest me. I keep seeing these three blue lights in a triangular formation, they move together in a similar way that birds do when they fly together, but in a triangle rather than an arrow. The lights sort of hover around in a free from fashion and they move at high speed, however generally they are quite stationary, only moving a little. These lights are high in the sky, not as high as the stars, they are clearly in the foreground. These blue lights often tend to flicker as well, although it is hard to tell if this is because of clouds etc or not. I've seen these blue light triangles all over Dunedin generally past 7pm, dependent on the weather. I've seen them behind clouds, I've seen them in pitch black night without light pollution. It's insane. Every time I witness a blue triangle shape I always see another bright white light. It is as if the blue light triangle is a signal or a beacon for directions.

The white lights are orb shaped and clearly lower in the sky than the blue lights. They move at very high speeds, one can cross the entire sky in less than 30 seconds. They almost flutter around like a bumblebee does but are capable of making 90 degree turns without decreasing in speed. They often go in a sort of S shape, similarly to how dolphins jump in and out of the water. I've seen white lights like this MANY times now, more than 25 at-least. I am certain they're not airplanes, satellites, or helicopters due to the direction and speed in which they move in; they're also much too close to the ground to be stars or asteroids etc. If one is moving slow, it's as if there is no air resistance when it accelerates to a high speed. It can go from moving as slowly as an airplane would to as fast as a shooting star in one second. These white lights do not flicker, they are very bright, MUCH brighter and more dense than a star.

I have seen blue light triangle formations in the sky in the following locations

Dunedin City Centre,

Rotary Park

Andersons Bay High school,

Aromoana,

Signal Hill Lookout

I have seen the white light ufos in the sky in the following locations

Dunedin City Centre, St Andrew Street (we have an open top balcony at our apartment)

Dunedin City Centre, Meridian Mall Carpark

Rotary Park, on top of the water tank (there is 6M tall water tank me and friends climb on top of on clear nighs)

Andersons Bay High school,

Aromoana,

St Clair Beach,

Portchalmers

Portobello

Signal Hill Lookout

It probably seems insane but I've seen these a lot now and there is never any visual inconsistency.

The white lights are fast and bright, they move like incredibly fast bumble bees.

The blue lights form a triangle and ALWAYS come in groups of three. Sometimes there are two groups of three. They hover around and never move much further than 2cm if you were to outstretch your arm and place your index finger in the centre of the triangle.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

No, absolutely not. After having studied the sky for so long now it is easy to tell if a light is a plane, helicoptor, shooting star, weather balloon. There is no way they can be man made, I do not believe humans have even made things that can travel as fast as these do.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Not a great deal until I started seeing the same light formations, being able to tell them apart from other things. Generally I call bullshit to anything I see online and so I'd never really thought about it. I still wouldn't believe anything I read online purely because I'd need to see it with my eyes to believe it. With photo editing etc now days it is too hard to trust anything that is a video, however I have had a look around a LOT online and I've found videos they are exactly the same to the blue light formations I've seen. These have been in London, Japan, China, and Chicago.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Five lights formed the triangle, one at the head two and two. The individual lights were about 5 ft in circumference. Total craft size was about 70 ft. When the craft teleported, each individual light would go into circles with the whole craft in a swirl effect, followed by disappearing to another location. The lights were bluish white. I could look directly at them and it didn't hurt. No light was cast on us. The craft knew we were there, and wanted us to watch. There was no visible craft itself and I am not sure if i could see through the actual middle of the triangle.

Size of Object(s)

The actual size of the entire triangle was 50 to 70 ft. My whole hand would probably not cover it when it was right above us. When it was 200 yards away or 300, my hand would, or almost cover it. Lights were only 3-5 ft around.

The beach was empty. I believe that the three of us might have been the only ones to see it. There is many military bases around us. Egland AFB, Hurlburt, pensacola NAS.

Full Description & Details

This was the most incredible sighting that has probably been seen. It was around 2:00 AM, with two of my friends. We were sitting on our special dune on Pensacola Beach that was about 40 feet high. At the top of the dune is a small crater, which allows us not to be seen. We would hang out up there and just talk and enjoy the ocean, which was 100 ft away. I am always looking up at the stars. I said to my friends "holy S**t" They responded with "What the F*$*" . Right above us was a formation of a Triangle. There was no body of the craft, it was 5 separate LED looking lights. The first appeared only 200 ft above us!!! They were stationary for about 3 seconds. Note that there was no sound, and the light did not hurt our eyes, nor was there any light cast on the ground or around us. Then all of the lights went crazy in different directions, almost like they were in a space time warp effect. Then the instantly appeared in the perfect triangle formation again about 200 yards away!! Then the individual lights again went in circles and teleported. This time they were way to the right of us. They did it one final time and showed up right above us. Clearly they knew we were watching, and wanted to show us the capability of the craft. The time between each teleport was only about 4 seconds. After the final stop above us, the craft "I believe it was one craft, but the Antigravity effects made it appear as five in formation." the 5 lights in the triangle shot in a streak of light towards the orion belt! Instantly to the stars!!! I believe it was traveling well over 100,000 mph!! We were freaked out! we ran off the dune, and got in the car. This had a profound impact on my life. One of my friends hates it when i bring it up even. I frequently talk about it with my other friend. I have learned about the Nazi bell experiment, and the TRb3 Since.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

This was an intelligently controlled craft. In no way possible could it have been Environmental, animals, or what ever. I have been looking through a telescope since I was a kid. I know what a satellite looks like. This was either military, or extraterrestrial controlled PERIOD. Now with that being said I do not believe that the military would put on a show in spring on Pensacola Beach!

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I really didn't read a lot about it, at the time. Now don't get me wrong I was highly interested in space, the Aurora project, which i know exists back in the late 80s. I believed Roswell did happen. But I was still in the mind of us looking for microbial life on mars. You know.. I didn't know the type of technology we theoretically had out there, military or not. I have done a lot of studying since that day.

Other Comments

Not but 2 weeks later. I was at the beach at night looking up at the sky again with one of my same buddys. I spotted a craft that looked like a satellite in space. doing huge elliptical maneuvers. Now I know what the speed of a satellite is in space and relative to a person on earth. This object covered about 80 % of the sky in reference to horizons in less than a second. It did this for about 10 minutes, just going in circles. After this sighting " two in less than 2 weeks" I became enveloped in the possibilities. But I have never seen another sighting in my ten years after this! kind of odd.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

From the point from where we were standing at the Visitors Center of the MAIN OFFICE of the U.S. Forestry Department. All visitors at the center are almost always facing the NORTH. The object looked like a bolar hat that men wore in the early 1900's It was black and had two struts that hung down like helicopter skids. The top of the craft was flat in a circular shape, just like the hat , and the craft left no noise or trial of exhaust ! It hobbled alot ! As if to fall-over on its side, but it never did fall-over. it rose-up in a verticle upward motion with total control and mastery of its movements. then sped away as if it knew we were about to take its picture !

Size of Object(s)

we were only looking from ONE side all the time, and it appeared to be about 40 feet in diameter, with the two skids to each side like helicopter skids

Just the Whiskeytown Lake and U.S. Forestry Department Visitors Center Headquarters at the visitors look-out-point -that's called the MAIN OFFICE of Whiskeytown Lake and Dept. of the Forestry . The SHASTA TRINITY Mountains face to the NORTH and the lake is below the Forestry Dept. Look-out Center ! MAIN HEADQUARTERS

Full Description & Details

Both my brother and I had cameras, but his was the better of the two ! I had asked my brother to look over to the east bank of the lake when I noticed what appeared to be a bolar hat hovering over 8 to 10 feet above the lake. As it hovered and skimmed towards the bank it would wobble a bit is it was drunk ! Not a steady hover but a tipsey turvey type of a wobble. For a moment I kept looking at it and it appeared to lift abit as if was a catamaran with two sides that almost touched the water ! But the bolar hat looking craft never did touch the water, instead it lifted exactly when I told my brother to look down there, as if they had heard me say this ? We were about 600 feet from it looking down at the lake , cause of the steep banks that goes straight towards the water., and a small brick wall to keep visitors from falling over the sides of the visitors look-out center ! The brick-wall is 3 feet high to seperate the visitors from falling down the hill ! A large U.S. Forestry sign kind of blocks the view looking north, and as I asked my brother to take a picture with his better camera thats a Minolta 101 series 35 mm , he shouted back at me saying WHERE STEVE WHERE ? As I pointed NORTH looking downward a bit , My brother was trying to find the thing with his glasses bumping the view lens finder ! My brother kept saying " I don't see it STEVE , tell me where ? " I told him just snapp the shot, snap the shot ! and HE DID without ever finding the craft with his own eyes ! So for 2 days we had wondered if we got it ?

To our surprise my brother Bobby did take an excellant shot of it speeding away and spectacular speeds, we both were dazed that he got the shot ! JUst as the craft was about to shoot away, my brother caught it as quick as it sped away ! He never had the chance to take another snapshot because of it's tremendoeus speeds and it's instantaneous speed MY BROTHER was so lucky he caught it as it accellerated out of photo PERIPHERY RANGE

of Minoltas lenses ! The edges of an MINOLTAS range is about 22 miles from side to side and in order for something to be out of range of focus is about 36 miles out of focus range of a cameras limits ! So we believe to be completly out of our sight is must be traveling in access of 3000 mile per hour to be completly out of our sight ! According to the limits of a cameras ability to capture an object leaving our focus range! It was booging out of fast !

We did wonder how it did this instantaneous acceration in a splint second ! IT WAS THERE then it wasn't ? We also wondered why did the craft wobble back and forth as if someone was drinking behind the wheel !

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

I've never seen a Catamaran Fly or a Bolar Hat fly ? So this is new to me and my brother ! WE also have a photograph of it , and so does the resturante of " The Little Ali Inn " in Rachel Nevada ! The owners wanted my brother's photograph, and so we gave them one !

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I believe we come from from something else than us ! A higher order of intelligence, dropped-us off . Why are we so different than all the creatures on this earth ?

Other Comments

My Mother said that I was always followed as a child, by strange vehicles that would come to our house ! She even told me about the day I was born that an earthquake struck the very second I was born , and that Washington DC had been invaded the very day of my birth ? July 20 1952. She also said that the very seconds that I was born , the maternity ward shook so hard, that all the Doctors and Nurses ran out of the room to save their own lives, while she was tossed up and down across the room and everthing was falling off the shelves ! as her gurney slammed up against the wall, a bright light had filled the room ! and she said she fainted from fear and stress of having me shoot-out ! That i was the chosen one that would understand our exsistance on this earth ? I still don't really understand what my Mother tried to say to me ?

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Definately orangey-red in colour. Size I couldn't even guess nor the shape except it definitely didn't look spherical. Sorry I can't be more precise. The brightness varied.. kept fading and brightening up again. At one point it became quite bright before fading again, that's when I saw some kind of non spherical shape.

Size of Object(s)

Afraid I couldn't even hazard a guess. Estimating sizes I just can't do.

Description of Area / Surroundings

I live right on the South coast of England. A little town called Seaton. Very small town, very very little light pollution and to my knowledge no military bases in the surrounding area nor power plants. No weather or research stations. Just a quiet little seaside fishing areas.

Full Description & Details

So I was having a smoke from my balcony and saw this. As I said. It was most definitely an Orange-Red colour, very bright and clear. I first noticed it just above Orion's belt and to the left. At first I thought it was simply something you could see at this time of year, a planet maybe or a bright star of note. I thought I was seeing things at first, but after watching for some time it was definitely moving. It's movement was erratic, there seemed to be no pattern as such except a vague circular motion as it traveled right towards Orion's belt. It stayed there for sometime, flitting up, down, left and right in no particular order. The whole time it was getting brighter as if moving closer or becoming more intense and then fading again until it disappeared. This is when I thought it was a chinese lantern. Just as I was about to head back in after finishing my smoke, it suddenly appeared again, this time lower down and back left of Orion's belt. It made the same vague circular movement before fading and appearing back above Orion's belt.

I ran to get my phone, but, unfortunately the video cam on it wasn't good enough to get any footage. I ran in, checked the internet. Several things are visible in our skies around this time of year but none of them correlate to what I was seeing and definitely nothing matching the movement. So I went back to the balcony to watch. It was still above Orion's belt, flitting about in all directions still. It didn't seem to stay in one place statically. It wasn't moving particular fast, but definitely enough to notice it was never static. While I was watching this second time it almost looked as if it was coming closer. For a brief couple of second whatever it was looked like it turned and I could clearly see some kind of shape. It wasn't just a spherical item, it definitely had shape. What shape exactly I can't be sure of.

I went back in to contact a couple of friends to see if they could see it as well. Unfortunately just as I'd sent the message our skies became overcast and clouds prevented me from seeing anything. This has happened literally within the hour. I was watching it for a good 20 minutes - half an hour before trying to see if anyone else could see it.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

I can't be 100% sure obviously. But I have checked charts online and various websites. I can't find anything that could explain something of this colour, distance or location for this time of the year. It didn't resemble a meteorite or satellite in any way I've seen before and a Chinese lantern would of burnt out within the time I was watching.

Witness Background

Not much to tell really. I'm 23, pretty average. Work for the family business. Studied animal management at college. Definitely a believer in anything unusual or things that can't be disproved but also I do like to try to work out a scientific or already known reason first. Somewhat try to disprove myself before I believe. Find the facts.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I have always been a believer in life other than ours. I believe in a lot of spiritual beliefs, energy based beliefs, the paranormal. Anything where there is no proof that it cannot exist, I believe however I haven't ever seen any UFO sightings to my knowledge before this encounter.

Other Comments

I did notice online that this month there have been other somewhat similar experiences from people around the Orion's belt constellation.
