we were 7378' high, flying north west of Ixtapa Mexico 17* 39' N 101* 40' W

Full Description & Details

Kind of diffuse with elongated areas, very irregular shape. It was approximately half mile when suddenly flew toward our plane and miss us for few feet. We fell some kind of pull from its direction. Few other passengers we very scared.

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

We knew it was flying along with us, suddenly just flew in our direction really fast!

Witness Background

We fly very often, but never seen this, it is scary.

At its largest it wa several times larger and brighter than the stars, at its smallest it was the same size and appearance as the stars

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

It seemed close. how close, I can't say. But when it was small it appeared to be very far away

Description of Area / Surroundings

Rural (of course) A desolate country road . Aberdeen proving grounds was located several miles away- I have always wondered about the significance of this

Full Description & Details

It was in the fall of 1969-70. I was driving home to Baltimore from Rocks State Park, Maryland and was only a few miles from where I'd left at about 9pm or so when I came to an intersection to make a right turn. I looked left down this country road for approaching headlights when something in the night sky caught my attention. It was a very bright star that seemed to be getting larger. I stopped my car, put it in park and got out with my argus 35mm camera. I crossed the road to a locust fence post that I would need to use to stabilize my camera since i didn't have a tripod. I stood there for many minutes watching this star-like light get larger and larger then get smaller and smaller. It got so small that it appeared to by like any other star. Then it would get larger again. and. it seemed to emit a glowing blueish-green banana shaped light that arced out to the west towards the ground. I attempted to take several pictures just hoping that I could hold the camera still enough with the shutter opened to capture some image ( it later proved to be a lost cause as there was no image on the film).It cycled large and small several times and then the last time it got small, it shot eastward across the entire horizon in less than 2 seconds. It was at full accelleration from the start and stopped as suddenly as it started. At its new location it began this getting larger and smaller thing all over again. While my family believes that I saw something, they cannot accept that I saw what I am describing. I stopped telling of my experience -except for this

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

Not no, but hell no! This was something that shot entirely across the horizon in the blink of an eye. Point your finger a a star in the night sky that is off to your right, then in one quick motion sweep your arm over to the left horizon and point to a position. thats how fast it streaked across the sky

1st object; roughly square in shape semi translcent with no obvious color . The sides facing the stadium lites being reflective(similar to the shimmering of fish scales) . There was no sound or apparent engine exhaust. No discernable windows or lights. 2nd object; no obvservable form or outline only a string of lites in a line that was constantly changing from straight to vee to one end currling back on itsself .The lites did not blink or change color. Only shifted inline

Size of Object(s)

1st object relitive size was larger than my hand spread open and outstretched. larger the a mutiengine private plane 2nd object; lites were aprox the size of an eraser on a pencil held at arms length there was a string of roughly10 to15 lites actual size roughly the size of small multiengined plane

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

distance-within 1mile horizontal and 500to1000ft altitude

Description of Area / Surroundings

urban. airport to the east of us . hospital with helo pad to the north of us

Full Description & Details

while sitting in the back yard watching for shooting stars I observed an object moving from south to north in as straight a line as I could tell. I commented to my wife who then looked in the same direction and noted how odd it was.

There is an airport to the east of us and we are about 1/2 to 1 mile south of the landing /takeoff approach. The airport is couple miles east of us .There is also a county hospital with a helo pad that is used quite alot . The hospital is within 1 mile of our house and is north to us. Generally speaking there is quite a bit of air traffic bwteen500 and 1500ft altitude.

The wind was out of the west and there had been several lite planes over (flying east to west) prior to the first object being seen.

We observed the 1st object for aprox 1to 2 minutes at which time it was lost from sight over the roofline of the house next door.

roughly 5 to 10 minutes latter a second object few over at a higher altitude and speed following the same coarse going south to north.We watched the second object for no more than 1 to1 1/2 minutes.

The objects were both observed within 10 to 20 degrees of vertical.

Also worth noting is that a ball game was being played east of our location and that there was a large amount of "light bleed" from the stadium lites.

Shotly after the second oject was lost from sight a lite single engine high wing plane few over on an east to weat path.

Solid black, smooth, four red lights on bottom, bottom of object was flat, made no noise was the shape of a triangle with smooth edges. It was around 9 pm in the evening.

Size of Object(s)

Longer than my house which was 80ft

Description of Area / Surroundings

rural area, lots of trees and very dark, no street lights.

Full Description & Details

I was standing on my front porch and my family was in the house, I was enjoying the view when I saw and airplane or what looked like one next door. It was solid black and smooth and It looked like a stealth plane, but there was no noise. we lived 30 miles south of oklahoma city and it was hoovering over one of our neighbors house and I watched it for about 5 minutes before it finally slowly came my way right over my house. If I stood on the house I could have touched it. I was so close to the ground, I saw 4 lights one on each corner and one in the middle. I don't know the semetrics of the craft and I have never told anyone, except my husband until now. I thought it was just the stealth untill I started hearing of other sightings. As it passed my house very slowly it took of very fast and high in the sky and toward the city and disappeared within a few seconds. It didn't even take one full minute to disappear from sight.

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

I don't know unless the stealth can be silent like that. Why would it hoover that close to the ground and in a small insignificant town like bridgecreek. there was no sound at all.

I have studied space my whole life and have always believed in life on other planets, but never thought that I would see a real one, still kind of skeptical about it. I believe in UFO's a little more now. I have read alot more since then and studied on them a little more.

Other Comments

I just wanted to finally tell someone about this. I do not want any recognition for this. I want to remain anonymous. It really did happen and pray ever day to see it again, but never have. I love space and science, I always have. I study weather and astronomy, but not ufo's. I would however like to see one again someday. If that is what infact I did see.

Full Description & Details

myself and two friends aged 11 or 12, 1975 or 1976, saw this ufo. I've always thought that this would make the sighting less believable, because of our ages, but this has played on my mind, and I am grateful to be able to get it out there. I am not a fantasised, this happened. The other thing which makes me feel that people will not believe me is that it predates the dechmont law or any other sighting (known to me) in this area.

We were standing at the corner of King George's park in Whitburn, it was dark, but obviously not too late as we had school the next day. We all spotted a round bright white object in the sky at the opposite end of the park. The park is the size of a full football pitch, maybe a little larger and was so high in the night sky, that we at first thought that it was the moon! We were discussing what it was - it was not the moon, it was too perfectly round and bright white, I mean white, white, white light, clearly no markings. We thought it was like a torch light being shined up into the sky, but it was as I said a perfect circle of pure white light with no trails or anything attached! We had exhausted all reasonable thought of what it could be, when suddenly, (and I mean so suddenly, at such a speed, that I now know what they mean when they say "warp facter 8" on startreck, ) it shot towards us, to the opposite corner of the park, right in front of us. It was no longer the size of the moon in the sky, it was hovering in front of us and was the size of a two storey house (around 20ft diameter). We were terrified, but could not take our eyes off it. We could see that it was spinning extremely fast around the circumference. We froze, it then sped away (warp facter again) up, up into the sky and into space and disapeared! I'm sure this sounds like a story, but something stranger even then happened. The next thing I remember is being at the end of my road, (which is a good 1/2mile from the park) with only one of my friends. I remember feeling fine, and strangely unaffected by what we had just seen. All 3 of us met at school the next day as usual, but never mentioned it to each other or any one else. I had a shadow of the incident in my memory, but never fully remembered the incident until I was 26yrs old, when it came flooding back as clear as the day it happened. I felt rather disturbed by the memory and now realise that the other 2 witnesses never spoke of the incident for all the years after either. I have only since heard of one very similer incident, involving some guys late night fishing in America. The incident involved twins and some ex-military men. The object chased them and they experienced memory loss afterwards. As far as I know it is a well known incident, as it was on a documentary. When I saw the documentary, I felt chilled to the bone, as their explanation of the bright white round object is exactly the same as we

saw. I feel relieved to get this out, and have always wondered if anyone else saw this at this time.

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

we tried to describe almost all of the above, but most definately not

Witness Background

I am at this moment a care worker in the community, but I am reasonably educated - 6 0'levels, HNC in contract mgt. and I am currently studying Hypno-analysis.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Before the sighting, it was not a subject that even entered our minds. Not something that ANYONE took seriously back then. Only since the memory returned when I was 26, did I feel any thing at all about it. Since then I have heard and read about some sightings, but nothing, sounded like this incident. Only when I saw the documentary about the twins in America, did I feel that anyone here on earth has seen the same thing that I have. I feel rather disturbed by it when I think about it, so generaly I dont give it any thought1

Other Comments

I wish I could find out if any one else experienced this, especially at that time and in this area, as I have lost touch with my 2 friends and anyone I talk to about this just thinks that I am hysterical attention seeking female!

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

It was shaped like a rectangle, but with the top edges more rounded. It seemed to be of a dark material except where the sunshine reflected off it. It had five tall rectangular windows. The edges of this object appeared to be "fuzzy" not clear, perhaps because of the sunlight reflecting off it.

Size of Object(s)

Based upon the size of the person inside, I would guess the object to be around 50 to 60 feet in diameter. As to height, I would guess it to be about 10 feet. Again, assuming the person inside was 6 feet tall.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Our home was located in Westerville, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus. There was a small creek behind out house as well as a sizeable retaining pond. To the south, several miles away, lies Port Columbus International Airport. A relatively short distance to the east is the large Hoover Resevoir.

Full Description & Details

The bright object that we saw was not an aircraft, Goodyear blimp, helicopter, Canada geese, space satellite, or the planet Venus. We looked at the object off and on for a period of about 40 minutes. The object was still there in about the same location the next afternoon. The object made no noise that we could detect. It reflected sunlight in the late afternoon or early evening. As far as we could tell, it remained stationary. There was some dark material that surrounded this object, but not any lare metallic mass that would constitute the body of some aircraft.

There was a "man" standing in the object. My wife and I could see him clearly through the 5 rectangular windows. He was wearing a white or, light-colored one-piece suit from the neck on down. It covered "his" two arms to his wrists. He didn't wear any eyeglasses, hat, or gloves. He wasn't heavy set, but rather slender. He wasn't wearing, as far as we could tell, any helmut. At one time, he moved a short distance (1 or 2 steps?) toward the left side of the object. It seemed to me that "he" walking communicating with someone on the left side, but we could not see who or what it was because the windows didn't reach that far. "He" put his left arm up on an object that looked like some type of cabinet. It was the only piece of equipment or, furniture that could be seen. There was a soft yellow light that was coming from inside the object. I don't remember seeing any facial features or hair on this person.

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

At first I thought that perhaps it could have been one large satellite, but when I looked through my field glasses, I knew that it was not. It also wasn't birds, an airplane, helicopter, a blimp, weather balloon, or swamp gas.

Witness Background

Both my wife and I are retired educators; we now have a small business.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

When I first saw this object, I had no idea what it was. Then, it dawned on me that perhaps it was one of those UFOs that I had read about in the past. I am still not sure what it was that I saw.

Additional Information or Comments by the Editor:

The following is the report that the witness submitted to the National UFO Reporting Center (reported to NUFORC on April, 23, 2005): "Duration: 40 minutes. My wife and I were sitting on our screened-in porch at our home in Westerville, Ohio, which faces east. At around 6:00 pm on an October evening, we saw a large bright stationary object in the southeast sky. I tended to ignore it for awhile. I thought that perhaps it was a communications satellite. I went into the house and got by 7 x 50 field glasses to help identify the object. It was no helicopter, commerical or military aircraft, and certainly not one of those blimps that occasionally make its way down to the Ohio State University to cover a football game. As far as I could tell, it didn't move. There was no noise coming from it. The object was perhaps 50 to 60 feet in diameter. The setting sun was reflecting off the object and made it somewhat difficult to see. As far as I could tell, there were no external lights. There were 5 large rectangular windows that took up much of the space of this object. There was a yellow glow in the interior. I saw a person dressed in a light-colored single piece suit from the neck down. The person had a head, 2 arms, and a body. He appeared to move only once and only slightly. It stood next to what appeared to be a "file cabinet", which stood as tall as his shoulder. There was some mass around these windows but nothing that would constitute the body of some aircraft. The next evening, my wife and I saw the same object. I called a local television station to report what I had seen and if anybody had any idea what it was. The lady gave me some answer and that was the last that I heard of this object. As far as I know, nothing was reported on any television news broadcast or, printed in the Columbus Dispatch. Surely, others in the area must have seen this object. I know what I saw, but I have no idea what I saw."

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Red and orange sphere with a swirling gaseous looking surface.

Size of Object(s)

Approx 100ft diameter.

Description of Area / Surroundings

It was in the middle of the town! Aberdeen is an oil rich town supporting the North Sea oil operations, another thing is that in the central area (the area that the sightings were in) most of the houses are built of granite and a geiger counter will read higher than normal radio activity in this area, safe but definetely higher than normal.

Full Description & Details

Around 1977, middle of town in broad daylight, an orange/red sphere about 100ft in diameter, it was sort of glowing and had swirling gaseous surface to it. It was silent and flying about 100ft which was just over the height of some three storey town houses in my street. I looked over my shoulder and saw it going across my street diagonally, I had to run to see it for a bit longer before it dissapeared over the town houses. I ran to tell this to my parents, but never told them until I remembered it 8-10 years later.

My Mother later told me of a mass sighting she had heard about through friends of hers, hundreds of people, in Aberdeen about 8 years ago. After investigation it turns out that, by description, the craft was the same, it was moving along exactly the same route and at the same height as when I saw it 25 years previously. A weird thing about the mass sighting was that it was only briefly mentioned in the news paper the next day and then nothing, the people I have asked said that it could have only been a craft from another world and they were confused as to why there were no investigations and everything went silent one day after the event.

At the same time as my sighting, 1977, a couple of guys in Orkney had the same experience as me also with the repressed memories. They aswell as myself, had the typical abduction nightmare around the same time, I remembered the nightmare but had repressed memory of seeing the UFO?

Reading the Abaglash Abductions the craft description is very similar to what I saw, and another report by a bomber aircraft crew in 1952 gives the same description of the UFO.

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

No

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I was about 13, I didn't have any specific views before the sighting. After my memory came back I knew that I had seen something extraterrestrial. I have only been investigating seriously though after I heard the accounts of the mass sighting as it confirmed my story. I had read nothing about UFO's before my sighting.

Other Comments

The trajectory was approx SW and if you follow the trajectory Northwards you end up scurting the West coast of Orkney, which is where another sighting by two young guys happened around the same time as my sighting.

Full Description & Details

Early Autumn? 1990 or 1991. I was with two other guys hiking in the woods near my home one night. We were on our way back home on a pitch-black gravel road/driveway. Skies were clear. Stars galore. We all heard a powerful low humming sound approching. Although it was very quiet for a machine of it's size, we looked ahead, and slightly to the right of us and froze in our tracks as it passed almost directly over us. We were standing in a area between a tree-line and a elevated corn field. Nobody normally been were we were at the time this happened (mostly farmers), but I was a town kid that moved to an old farm-house in the sticks. I liked to sneak out and stay up late. I "was" a teen-ager. What I saw was a very large, black, triangular craft travelling slowly, approx. 35-45 mph. It had three bright white spot lights that remained stationary. I also remember a small red flashing light on the right-hand corner. We watched the craft travel over the woods we had just exited until it was just about out of sight, but could still see the glow of the lights through the trees. We looked at each other, picked up our jaws, I asked if we should go back (toward the woods), somebody said "fuck that" and we all bolted as fast as we could for about 100 yards the opposite direction down the road and stopped running when we were out of breath and realized we were'nt in any immediate danger. We continued home, speed-walking. The few people I did tell afterward seemed to just laugh, but not hard, They would just look at me goofy, like they did'nt know if I was joking nuts or a liar. So I just kind of forgot about it I guess until about 3 years ago when I was watching television and saw a program on UFO sightings on the History or Discovery channel and saw a drawing similar to the craft I had seen that night. I'm not a U.F.O. or alien freak. I am not a christian. All I know is seeing is believing, unless it's fake. I can only believe the sightings which resemble my own, since that is all I know to be truth. I do consider myself fortunate to be able to see such an awesome piece of machinery.

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

It looked as if it "could" be man-made, but I don't think the "man" could keep technology like this classified for so long?

Full Description & Details

My sister and I were on our way home from a friend's house. We saw a triangular craft in the air above the houses next to the Tom Thumb on Arapaho and Shiloh in Garland, Texas. We couldn't figure out why it was hovering because we never new a plane, jet or other that could or would hover over a residential area of all places. It had 3 white (or red) lights at each corner and a red (or white)flashing. I can't recall which color was flashing. I just remember that someone told me that all aircraft must have a flashing light when it's in the air or something. So I figured it was a military aircraft. Anyways, as we drove by, it slowly (and I do mean slowly) moved Southwesternly. Also, when we drove by it I rolled my window down expecting to hear the jet engines or some kind of noise, but we heard nothing. It was about the size of large jet plane from our proximity. I don't know measurements, but I do know that jet planes don't get that close to houses in the middle of the night.

We figured it must be a military aircraft of some sort. So we asked an Air Force friend of the family and he had never heard of an aircraft that hovered. He said it was probably a helicopter, but it definitely was not. We come from a military family and we're very familiar with the types of aircraft in the sky. This was not a balloon, helicopter or other hovering mobile. It was plane-like but it moved so slowly after hovering for such a long time. Very strange....

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

It may have been a man-made aircraft but like I did as an Air Force pilot and he did not know of anything like it.

Witness Background

College educated

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Don't know what to think. I assume it's a military aircraft. However, I have had two other strange "sightings". The next most recent was in Seattle and my friend and I saw a strange bright light zoom over the highway we were on and then zoom away. (It was near Boeing field on I5.) The other sighting was while I was by myself and inside of clouds. I can't account for that one, because it was probably an airline the lights were awfully large for an airline. Again, my father flew helicopters and airplanes and we've seen and heard all sorts of aircraft.

Full Description & Details

My sighting occurred in the fall of 1971 in Florence, SC. Around dusk one evening I went out to the backyard and as soon as I went out I noticed something dark overhead. I looked up and saw it up close and personal! The largest object I had ever seen in the sky in my entire life. A large, black triangular craft was passing directly overhead. The first thing that I noticed about it was the size and how low it was. It had to be about 300 ft across from tip to tip and about half that distance from front tip to the rear. It was perfectly silent and I couldn't hear any sound at all coming from it. It was awesome! It was also moving very slowly and I remembered thinking that it moved too slow to remain air born for its size. There were lights on the bottom of various colors - yellow, blue, orange, red. I don't remember the order of the colors but they were dimly lit and were evenly spaced from one wing tip to the other. It was approximately 500 feet high and the width of it would be about 2.5 feet at arms length. I saw no markings of any kind or any other lights other than the colored lights on the bottom. I saw no visual evidence of an engine or any engine exhaust. As I stated earlier it was completely silent. I watched it until it traveled (east) out of sight. Just as it got out of my sight 4 fighter jets came screaming over going in the same path as the UFO. There is an Air Force base (Shaw AFB) about 40 miles away and I assume they came from there. I never heard anything on the news about a UFO sighting and I didn't report it to the Air Force because my parents said we weren't going to be laughed at by the neighbors for reporting a UFO. I did see this object and I know it was a vehicle and not a cloud or swamp gas or the planet Venus. I was confused at the time because I had never heard of triangular shaped UFOs, I thought all UFOs were saucer or cigar shaped. Since then I have heard of the black triangular UFOs in the 90s, and the one seen in Arizona in 1997 seems very similar to what I saw.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I believe they exist obviously, but I'm not convinced as others are that they come from outer space. Before my sighting I was not a believer nor a dis-believer in UFOs. I had heard of them of course but I just didn't know if I believed in them or not. Now I do. I had read some things in those grocery store tabloids but the photos in those papers looked fake to me so I wasn't sure they were true. I was raised in a religious family where things like UFOs just did not fit in to our faith. Now I know that they exist but I don't know who or what is piloting them. I hope the government will release the truth about them one day.
