Appearance / Description of Object(s)

The nearest UFO was a round disc-like, or saucer, shape with rotating bright red, white & blue flashing lights. Very easily seen against the very starry night sky, and appeared to take up a larger portion of the sky. The other two UFO's were a little harder to make out because they appeared further away. Their lights were white.

Size of Object(s)

Relative size for the nearest UFO appeared to be about 12-14 inches across. Actual size would be impossible to determine after this many years. It easily blocked out a small portion of the starry sky. The other two could be blocked by one hand.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

My own estimate would be about 1 mile or a little less.

Description of Area / Surroundings

This sighting took place in a densely populated residential area of town. ENT Air Force base was to the north but there was no air strip nearby.. At that time ENT Air Force had only office buildings.

Full Description & Details

While listening to the radio one evening, I noticed neighbors next door standing in the driveway, looking up & pointing to the sky. I joined them for the most exciting event I ever saw in my 72 year lifetime.

There were 3 UFO's darting back & forth, very fast, in the sky (We still don't have anything that moves that fast, even today in 2012). One came quite close, hovering in one spot and flashing red, white & blue lights around the outside edge of the saucer-shaped ship (not much different than what was seen in the movie UFO's, except there was no particular sequence). This went on for some time before it rejoined the other 2 UFO's in their fast "dance" around the sky. If my memory serves my correctly, they all used only white lights, except for the one who put on the show for us. The UFO's disappeared in a "blink of an eye" shortly after that. I use that expression because that is the best description of just how fast they disappeared.

I figure most of the Colorado Springs residents must have been watching that show put on by the UFO's. Unfortunately, I failed to take a picture or save anything the newspapers might have reported about this incident. I regreat that to this day, but I will forever remember that night in August 1956.

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

In no way could this sighting be anything but UFO's due to the size and speed of those ships. We had nothing that rivaled that UFO at that time, 1956, nor do I think we have anything like that in existance now, in 2012.

Witness Background

Now retired from US West, a telecommunications company. My job was data input for information technology. I now live in western Colorado where there have been UFO sightings for years. I too, have sighted a few UFO's but none like the first one in Colorado Springs when I was 17 yrs old.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Don't remember ever hearing of UFO's until that sighting.

Other Comments

There has to many others who have reported this particular sighting in Colorado Springs, especially since it was also covered by one, or more, radio stations. I've always felt that our government has kept this under cover all these years.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Though it really is a long time ago, I always remember it as a ball of fire, with actual flames encircling it. It wasn't big, probably the nearest size would be that of a beach ball. It seemed to move by rotating itself. It had the capacity to stop and hover, again silently. It had the ability to change direction and to descend.

Size of Object(s)

The size of a beach ball, maybe slightly larger

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

Very close to us, literally just over our heads around 15 to 20 feet over us

Description of Area / Surroundings

Urban built up city area, we would have had no military bases or power plants. The one thing that struck me was how quiet the street was when this occurred. No cars, which was unusual. No people, which would not have been that unusual for early evening in my area.

Full Description & Details

Around 1973, my friend and I would both have been 11 at the time and lived in the city centre of Dublin, Ireland. It was early evening, dark, early winter. The street was v. quiet and as we turned a corner, we saw a rotating ball of fire appear just above the roof of the corner house. It briefly disappeared behind a chimney before re-appearing. It slowly rotated, travelling in a northerly direction. As I remember it, it was a rotating ball of fire, probably about the size of a beach ball. It was silent. The scary thing about it was that when we appeared to come into its line of vision, it stopped and hovered over us, It would have been around 15 to 20 feet above us. It remained hovering for what seemed to be a few seconds. We just stared at it, I remember my friend saying "what is it" and I just replied that I didn't know With that, it began moving again. However, rather than continuing on the path it had been following, it changed direction. It began descending directly down towards us. With this, we screamed and ran as fast as we could until we reached my friends house. I have no idea, what direction it went towards after that, and I honestly say I'm not sorry I didn't wait around to find out.

I have just read on your site of some other children in the 1980's who seem to have had a very similar to ours. What struck me is that it did definitely have intelligence behind it.

What I do know is that it wasn't a Chinese lantern. I would have happily accepted that it was a natural occurence if it had not have stopped and then came down directly towards us.

I have never forgotten the experience and it is great to find some affirmation that what we had seen has been experienced by others.

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

Definitely not natural, definitely not. Could it have been battery operated, or remote controlled, anything is possible. However, this was Ireland in the early 1970's. We were not known for sophisticated, automated or technical objects, Equally, how was the ball of fire achieved? What we saw were flames!

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I honestly amn't big into UFOs. I would probably go along that the vast majority of sightings can be explained as natural occurances or in strategic areas, like near military bases, some advanced experimental flying objects. Do I believe in aliens, no I don't. What do I think we saw, truthfully it is a mystery, I would just love to know the answer!

Just glad of the opportunity to tell my story. I did tell my teenage son recently and this is what prompted me to try and search for similar stories. Just great to find another one that does seem to be quiet similar.

I have been hearing about UFOs all of my life. There seems to be no end to the stories concerning them. There are almost as many so called investigators as there are stories. When looking at the web sight of some who claim to be professionals, I find no place to contact them and give testimony. This says to me that they are only interested in telling others, not learning about things they don’t already proclaim. The word phony keeps wanting to assert its self.

This kind of thing causes the whole field of endeavor to be suspect, even laughable. However, with so many reports of unexplained phenomena, there is almost certainly something that calls for serious investigation. With that in mind, I would like to offer what I think may be a new prospective.

People are always told to look up. Look out beyond our atmosphere for visitors from space. One of the things that troops in South East Asia learned early on, (if they were to survive) was: “When something tells you to look up, such as a piece of cloth tied to an overhead branch and fluttering in the breeze, without taking another step, look down. There will be a trip wire. This same methodology would be employed by an intra-terrestrial counterpart to modern man, if one exists.

The suggestion of another intelligent group of Earthlings is not completely without merit. In Genesis 9:1, we find God telling Noah and his family to be fruitful and multiply. Most of us are familiar with the three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. We see in v.28&29 that Noah lived three hundred fifty more years, for a total of nine hundred and fifty years. In that time he could very well have produced quite a brood, but there is no mention of them.

Think about how much a person who lives almost 1000 years can learn. It is conceivable that they have technology that we have yet to dream of. As to the question of why have they not made their presents known, Knowing man’s tendency to war and other poor behaviors, who could blame them.

Triangular with lights in corners when hovering and moving slowly... very bright orangish yellow glow when travelling in "rock skipping" mode.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Very rural. We saw alot of wildlife that night that didn't seem to notice us... a wolf, pair of rams, etc.

Full Description & Details

We were up on Hwy 39 in Azusa Canyon right where the barrier used to be, under Crystal Lake. A light rose up in the distant North. Then it went between two hills to the East at an extreme rate of speed. It looked like a rock skipping across water... shooting forward and kind of up, then sort of dropping off and skipping forward again... hard to describe outside of the rock skipping reference. It came up in the valley behind us.... the next thing we knew we were back in our Jeep. We then saw the triangular object slowly move off to the West after following us for a while. We headed back home and it was 6 in the morning by the time we got there when it was around 11 pm when we saw the ufo... weird, feeling in body, could be adrenaline or ?

The objects were egg shape, and bright. They were at least from the tip of my fingers to near or above the wrist. Being so far away, I would say they were at least 40-50 feet long and 20 to 25 feet high.

Size of Object(s)

They were at least from the tip of my fingers to a little past my wrist. Being so far away, I would guess them to be 40-50 ft. in length, and about 20-25 ft. high.

Description of Area / Surroundings

It was an urban area, and their was nothing with any special size, and I was too shocked to turn my eyes from what I was viewing.

Full Description & Details

The UFOs were egg shape, white in color. I am sorry, but due to their height, I couldn't see much more, other then their very slow speed while approaching each other, then their high speed when leaving their stopped position. I have never seen anything flying that high, nor the speed that each had, especially from a stopped position. I viewed the UFOs from the patio of my son in law's house. I yelled for my daughter to come and look, but before I got her to look up, the UFOs were gone.

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

There is nothing in this world that could be that high, and leave their stopping area at an unbelievable speed.

I have not read much, But I have heard others talk about them, and saw some shows about them. I just know there are other worlds out there, and I believe in UFOs from evidence found in the time of the creation of this world.

I think it is time for our government to tell the people and the world that the UFOs are real, and we need to communicate with them regardless of cost. pk

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

looked like it was highr then where we would see planes fly

Description of Area / Surroundings

We were in a small vally, little to no trees. It was just outside of a little town,in the country I would call it.

Full Description & Details

We ,my boyfriend and I and our son was at a trailer park visiting a friend. I had my son in my arms entertaining him as his Daddy and his friend were looking at "ol Betsy" a old car the had been restoring. I wasn't paying much attention to what was going on with the car. I was enjoying the bright blue clear sky. The sky was open and free of trees and I felt it was such a beautiful sight. As I scanned the sky I saw way up there a triangular shape,it kind of had like a mirror look,or a transparency about it. As I stood there with my son in my arms looking at this thing. I then yelled over tho the car onlookers and said "hey guys look", "guys look what is that?" They still continued to ignore me. Once again I loudly tried to get their attention loudly I screamed "Guys fucking look man!" They didn't look. I hadn't taken my eyes off it until this point when I became frustrated they were no paying me no mind. I then looked their direction and said dude there is a UFO. I did get their attention,but when I looked back towards the sky where I had watching it,it was just gone. I stared up there for a while ,and then soon I witnessed a small engine plane circle around the same area I had seen the sight. Shorty then came a ultralight flying in the same area as well. Wasn't long and all the activity was gone. I am still left to wonder what was that I saw that day. I remember it so well

I was just testing my new canon F1.4 in dark conditions with bright lights around to try and confuse the sensor, hence if needed in the future I would know how to compensate, I was snapping away at a tower with a bight sign and then I seen these two green blobs appear from nowhere and went as fast as they came. I dont know if its a lighting anomally or what, as the other ufo's I have seen over Bolton England tend to be orange and stay around and move fast ( I have never had my DSLR handy when I have spotted them ) taken on canon 60D 50mm F1.4 USM @ F1.6 ISO 3200 1/80th, on my camera digital noise at ISO 3200 IS quite minimul.

No I photograph aeroplanes sometimes if I have my telephoto zoom lens on to see how much detail I can get. I couldnt even put it down to digital noise

I will send you the JPEG with the metadata in tacked, but also I have the RAW file if that is ever needed if it wants to be inspected for signs of tampering, the file is quite large (8mb) so il let you resize it to your own spefications and give you permission to cut it to show the UFO's at zoom
