Full Description & Details

On saturday 24th of November 1979 I was at home with my wife and our new baby. We were living in a top floor rented flat that had 2 full length windows with a glass door in between, which gave access to the balcony. Being the top floor, our balcony had no "roof", having no balcony above it. Hanging from these windows was a set of full length curtains.

I had been watching football on the television, with the lights out, and my wife had fallen asleep laying on the sofa. The time was very nearly 11.45 pm and most of the decent programmes on tv had ended. Earlier in the evening, the local weather forecast had predicted possible snow showers, unusual in Norfolk at that time of year, so being bored with the tv, I decided to check on the weather.

Now it had always been a sort of weird joke in my family home when I was growing up, that when anybody was asked what they were looking at out of the window, they would reply with, "Just seeing if it has snowed". This would be the response no matter what time of the year. Silly but fun. It made me smile to myself as I was getting up to go look.

Having gotten up, I walked to the window, opened the curtains, pulled them back behind me, to cut out the glow of the tv and stood looking out.

It was obvious that we had had no snow and looking at the sky it seemed obvious that we would not get any as the sky was very black and totally clear. Not a hint of cloud, with all the stars shining brightly. I must have stood there just looking up at the stars for 3-4 minutes when it appeared overhead from behind me. It was only in my view for maybe 5 seconds before it was obscured by the block of flats opposite.

It was a very bright circular looking object, off white in colour, with no other colouration or marks. It made no noise, or if it did I did not hear it and it travelled in a straight line. Oddly, at the time, it appeared to change its shape from circular to eliptical as it moved further away.

To say that I was shocked would be putting it mildly. As soon as it had gone from view, I recovered from the initial shock and stepped out onto the balcony searching the skies, but there was nothing. A quick glance down to the street to look for other witnesses was a waste of time. It was deserted, not even a drunk from the local pub. I then went back inside, excitedly woke my wife and tried to explain what I had seen.

Now I had always been fascinated by the thought of aliens and science fiction stuff, but this was most definitely not what I presumed a sighting would feel like. I had been excited, but shocked at what I had seen, but a bigger shock was my wifes reaction as I tried to explain and describe what I had seen. The excitement was very quickly replaced by an awful feeling of resignation that no matter who I told, nobody would believe me, as I had nothing or nobody to back up my story.

This left me feeling very depressed and so feeling quite dejected, I went to bed. It took me ages to get to sleep, mulling over what had just happened, but sometime during the night I resolved to report the event very first thing in the morning.

Sunday morning and I was off down to the public phone box, as we had no home phone line, but when I got there I was not sure of who to call. It made sense to start with the police, on the assumption that somebody else had seen and reported it. The initial response from the police officer was much the same as that of my wife the previous night, except it came over quite obviously that he considered me some kind of nutcase, laughing and asking about little green men.

Eventually I managed to persuade him that I was genuine, whereupon he informed me that nobody else had filed a report. He then said that he would log my call and perhaps a call to the duty officer at the local RAF base (Coltishall) might be more fruitful. It took a while to get through but eventually I spoke to someone who told me that nothing had been reported and that nothing odd or strange had been picked up on radar, but that my call, name and address had been noted. He then asked for more details about the size, speed and height of the object and to be honest it was not something I had thought about. I could only describe its size as looking like a "Harvest moon", the sort of big full moon you can get in September, but as regards the height and speed I was lost.

After finishing the call I walked slowly back home and thought about what the RAF officer had asked. How on earth can you gauge the speed and height of an object if its size is not known?

I did get to clarify one thing however, that of how the object seemed to alter its shape. It was flat or saucershaped. Experiments with a dinnerplate when I got back home confirmed this, but other than that I was resigned to the fact that I would never know.

All the same, I figured somebody else must have seen it as Norwich had about a quarter million inhabitants. So I wrote to the editor of the local paper asking if anyone else had seen it.

I did not put any specific details in my letter, preferring to let others corroborate with what I knew, rather than what I had written.

I got some replies, most were from loonies with the most fantastic junk they could conjure up, but a couple of others seemed genuine. I contacted these people, but their sightings although believeable bore little resemblance with mine.

Shortly following my letter, there was a wave of reported sightings that lasted on and off for a couple of months, but again nothing that matched what I had seen and eventually the whole thing seemed to die and was either forgotten or dismissed.

Was it alien or terrestrial? I have no idea, but one thing I do know for sure. If you do report a UFO then be prepared to accept ridicule from even your closest friends and family.

Since writing this I have been informed by a former RAF official that the radar at Coltishall could not have picked up anything like this anyway. Something about transponders or something like that. I cannot say.

Summary:

A silent, striped, boomerang-shaped UFO flying slowly and silently in the middle of the night, under a cloudy sky

Nighttime

No. of Witnesses:

Duration: 

5 minutes

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

It had the appearance of looking at a boomerang, full-on, except this was was straight above me. It had alternating grey and black stripes. Here is a crude diagram: * |* * | * * | * * | * * | * * | | * *| |* * | * * | ** | * * ** * * ...Except the "boomerang" was slighly more spread out, like a real boomerang.

Size of Object(s)

1-1/2 " across, wing-tip to wing-tip, between thumb and forefinger held at arm's length

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

It appeared approximately 50 ft high

Description of Area / Surroundings

This was in an urban area. The nearest military area is the Sand Point Naval Base, which has since been closed and converted to a large part area, by a lake.

Full Description & Details

I was working a swing shift and took the city bus home. There is slightly more than one block to walk from the bus stop to my house. After walking a block, I was approaching my turn to go home. Because I like to engage in astronomy when I'm not working, I looked up to check out the sky. That's when I noticed something unusual. Something I have never seen, before. My first reaction was, "Oh - some kid is flying a kite!" It was boomerang-shaped, straight-up and not moving. The kite idea was quickly fading. It was grey, except for wide, black, verticle stripes on the 'wings'. I looked around for the string and the kite-flying kid and saw no one and no string. What was seen was a motionless, odd-looking object that seemed kite-high, about 50 feet. This was difficult to acurately determine, because the entire sky was evenly covered with grey clouds. But the grey on the strange object was decidedly darker. Several seconds passed - maybe a minute. Then it started to move, slowly, toward the direction I had come from. (As an FYI, continuing in that direction, one would eventually run into the San Point Naval Station.). It continued its slow departure until it reached a point where I assumed it had eventually disappeared into the clouds, because before it became a point, it had disappeared.

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

Not by conventional aircraft. One very interesting note to make is that this sighting was made long before boomerang and triangle UFOs became "popular" (frequent).

Witness Background

I am a computer server technician, working at Microsoft. I have had two years of community college, studying Electronics Engineering. I have always been involved working in computers, one way or another. I consider myself a rational person, who considers obvious natural explanations before the exotic. The only exceptions to this, are the satellites flying in formation, because I had never heard of statellites actually doing that, yet. I had been aware of NASA plans to fly satellites in formation in deep space. Maybe these were tests in that area. As noted elsewhere, I enjoy astronomy as a hobby and frequently study the planets and galaxies and nebulae. Because of this, I feel I know the difference between something that belongs in the sky and something that appears not.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I have been very interested in the phenomena and have read many books on sightings, abductions, etc. I am also just or more as interested in science.

Other Comments

As an amateur astromer, I have seen many startling and unusual, but natural, sights. I have never seen anything like that before, or since. I HAVE seen satellites flying in formation, on two occasions, but have since read that these are man-made objects.

I was smoking a cigarrette out side the tug boat. It was a beautiful day, no a single cloud, the ocean was calm, just a wonderful day. I notice something shinning 75 degrees on top of me, I look for an instant I thought it was a plane. I keep smoking, no rush, a moment later I look again, and it still there, I thought it can not be a plane, maybe a weather bollom, but then I really look at it, my heart start pounding in my chest, a got a panic attack, because they were looking at me like I was looking at them,( vulnerable), I just run in, went to the bridge, told the a/b, to come outside, went we got out side it was gone. I just cannot take that image from my head. Now I have a light head feeling. I had my celular phone with me in my pocket and I could not think of nothing.

Full Description & Details

I order Phil Imbrogno's book, Night Siege.

I wondered if Phil remembers me. I too saw the boomerang-shaped object on Interstate 84 near the Taconic Parkway in the 80’s. I saw Phil’s name in the newspaper back then (a few days after I saw this) and I contacted him. It was sometime in the mid-80’s and around June or July. He invited me to a meeting with other witnesses, I think, at Brewster (NY) High School but I was leaving for vacation that day and couldn’t make it so I mailed him my notes and drawing.

I was coming home (to CT) after visiting relatives in Beacon NY. (I can’t recall the exact year now.) I was on I84 eastbound between Exit 15 (Lime Kiln Rd) and the Taconic Parkway when I caught site of this huge object coming near me from the North. I watched for about 60 seconds and then pulled off the road (about .33 mile before the Taconic). I climbed up a hill to watch this thing fly directly over my head. It was huge and the underside looked a bit like the Close Encounters movies’ craft.

I too felt I could have thrown a rock and almost hit it but I knew it was out of reach. It seemed to stop or slow down as if it had seen me and was watching to see what I might do. (I thought to myself that if I had had a camera and taken a picture that this object might have swooped down and picked me up.) So, I stood there for about 5 minutes and watched it…it was like it was “saying”: “Yes, that’s right, we’re letting you see this, just don’t do anything to make us mad”. It had very little noise…a low hum and it was moving very slowly.

It then continued to travel south just to the west of the Taconic. Then, when it might have been over Philipstown, I saw the far light on the left of the triangle break away and start flying all over the sky, very wildly, for about 1 minute…then, all of a sudden, it streaked (in an instant) in a perfectly straight line back into the same spot it had been.

I then went to get back in my car and I noticed a few other cars (heading West bound on 84) had pulled over to the side. I think I was the only person who had gotten out of his/her car.

As I got to the intersection of 84 East and 684, I looked in my rear-view mirror and saw this huge white thing coming toward me. It was very big and higher in the sky. It was all silver and brilliant white and didn’t have the boomerang shape (it’s hard to describe the shape….maybe like a child’s spinning top…and all “sparkly”). When I saw this I was a bit scared because I thought that maybe, because it had allowed me to see it up close, it was coming back for me (for some reason). I picked up the pace and drove home.

When I got home I told my wife and then wrote down all I had seen…I also drew the shape of the boomerang with red, white and green lights. I then called my father who was working at Stewart Air Force Base and told him what I had seen and to let me know if anyone at Stewart said anything about it. He later said no one said anything but he had seen an article in the paper.

In closing, I never saw it again…and over the past 20 years, I’ve traveled the same route hundreds of times…most times at night. Did Phil include my info in the book?

Please let me hear from you re your thoughts on all this.

Duration:

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Saucer or Disk shape, intense red glow around object, very intense.

Size of Object(s)

About the size of an old cadillac they weren't really that big 25ft at the most that's just a guess, but we were really close so that's pretty close.

Description of Area / Surroundings

First sighted on the edge of town on a overpass that was under construction, then sighted later in a rual setting about a mile out of town.

Full Description & Details

I was with two friends we first saw objects from overpass that was under construction, they looked likr they were between Waxahachie and Dallas. So we went to one of my friends house and got his telescope (we were soph in high school and my friend had just got his lic so we were out riding around and that how we first noticed them) after we got the telescope we went back to the overpass and it was just starting to turn dusk the objects were still there in about the same location so we set up the telescope and what I saw was three black saucer shapes with a red glow around them. We had several people stop and ask what we were doing, they just laughed and took off, but you got to understand this was sorta a redneckville back then. So we loaded up and went in the direction that we had seen them by this time it was totally dark we got about a mile north of Waxahachie and turned down a road off US 77 and went about a mile we thought we would have a better view. So we stopped and got out (BIG MISTAKE) the abjects were rite on top of us about as high as one and a half telephone poles we were scared to deatrh jumped back in car and it would not start we got out and pushed car about a 100 yds down the road and it started luckily it was a WV we were so scared I thought I would have a heart attack one of my buddies was crying, at the same time I knew it was something special we had encounterd.

Forgot the best part as we were watching from overpass these objects were doing some really wild things such as lineing up straight up and down and made a oval red glow then they would come together a make one solid glow then they would break apart and line up side by side and made a oval glow side ways it was truly awsome site. The glow was so intense it had to be some kind of energy the only way I can describe it is if you were in a closet and and someone stuck a fireplace poker in the fire until it turned glowing red hot and gave it to you in the dark closet It was that intense, never have seen anything like it except on unsolved mysteries Im 49 now and never seen anything like it before are after this (PS there was a lot of strange activity in the area during this time some documented in the papers I heard threw the papers or TV that the many strange sitghtigs was probably caused by the construction of DFW airport, they were working at nite because of the summer heat and the lights were so brite it was the brightest spot on earth when viewed from space. That's my experence and I gota really really strange feeling (WE ARE NOT ALONE).

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

NA! I was very scared when it happened but I relized very quickly that my friends and myself had seen and expirenced something very special.

me, my brother in law and my freind pat were driving our usual wednesday journey to faversham, to our local model car racing club, it must have been summer time as it was daylight and sunny at 6.45pm 2003 and a glorious day.

we were heading north bound up the A2 when we were stopped at the Lydden/sheppardswell traffic lights. as we all sat there i said what on earth is that (not quite as politely as that) while i was sat there i was looking at a sphere hanging in the distance over to the left hand side of the road. we first didnt think much of it just thought it was an air balloon or somethingbut as we got closer it made us more and more curious other cars travelling in our direction were pointing at it as well.

we drove towards it for about ten minutes and now it was on our imediate left then it vanished! my friend pat took some photos on his camera phone i will see if he still has them.....maybe someone has all ready reported this.......and knows what it was

a week or so later one our local deal news papers reported a famer at studdal had seen something similar and a week or so later a man claimed some ufo type thingy flew low over his car on the dover road at 3am or something like that

just thought i wouldnt bother reporting it . didnt want to sound mad or like a wacko

wish id done it earlier but ive only just stumbled upon this site

Full Description & Details

Don't remember the exact year, but would estimate before my son was born - 1993. My husband and I lived a couple miles from the Atlantic ocean (1 mile from the NC intercoastal highway). It was getting dusk, and my husband come inside our home and told me that I had to go outside and "look at this". I stood with my husband in our front yard (rural area but a lot of highway traffic 1 mile away) and looked up at what was obviously somekind of vehicle. I don't remember all the specifics of the shape other than it was tubular/ cylindar shaped that was translucent with different color lights glowing from it. It hoovered over the trees near the dirt road in front of our doublewide for probably a minute. For some strange reason I was not scared or alarmed - but a sense that there was nothing I could do about it but stay calm. After a while it was gone (I don't remember if it left suddenly or disappeared - I think left suddenly). I didn't pay too close attention to the details because I thought we'd be hearing news reports of the sighting. When the TV and radio didn't mention it, I was very surprised. It was so close that I thought possibly cars on the coastal highway could have seen it or the homes that were spaced every acre apart on our dirt road. This is the first time I have every mentioned this to an agency. For some reason my 11 year old son went to school talking about the UFO I had seen (actually saw another one in 1992 - very different experience) and directed me to the internet. I saw your "post a report" and decided to do it.

The other UFO was not near as dramatic. I was on my balcony (urban city of Charlotte, NC) at about 5:00 am smoking a cigarette. Something bright caught my attention to my left. As I turned my head, I saw a bright light the shape of a quarter moon (apparently pretty far away) up in the sky. It moved horizontally (as if it were skipping across the sky) for about 1/2 second and then disappeared. I immediately thought, "well, I have now seen two UFO's in my lifetime". Who would ever believe this? (No other witnesses to this one.)

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

I'd be curious to know what a weather balloon looks like because there is no possibility it could be anything else. (That I know of anyway.)

Summary:

I saw what I now know to be UFO clusters; flying in formations and at phenominal speeds, previously unknown to conventional aircraft. It was as through they were putting on a show for me, or trying to communicate something by the way they made coordinated patterns in the late evening skies above me. I really can't believe no one else saw this phenomenon and I've been checking the Web for a decade.

Day/Night: 

Nighttime

No. of Witnesses: 

Just myself

Duration: 

Maybe 5 minutes

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

I have made written notes, of which must be somewhere, but without them, I can remember that the actual shapes of these things, I couldn't make out and this display happened at night. The bright lights blinded out any clues to their real dimensions. At times during the sighting it seemed that these objects were not infact separate, but one solid mass (especially when it/they moved from flat circular to upright circular postion, in unison!

Size of Object(s)

It is hard to say the size of each one of those objects as they were pretty high up inthe night sky, and their lights totally obsured any measurements, but I would imagine very big! Perhaps the size of a couple of football pitches when they formed the circle, but that can be no measurement of their actual size.

Description of Area / Surroundings

The area surrounding the sighting was most definitely urban, I lived in Millbank, London; opposite MI6 at the time and nearby the banks of the River Thames, not so far from Big Ben, Buckinham Palace and the Houses of Parliament.

Full Description & Details

Were they the search lights of some prankters? Were they secret experiments by national or international government agencies? ...I think neither. The colors they displayed were not for FX, but I believe they corresponded to their speeds; ultra-blue/white = quick- well beyond supersonic speeds, (maybe even, the speed of light) while umbers/reds= slow - motionless speeds.

These crafts were able to come together in V formations and a single upright circle ! I didn't hear a single sound and I wasn't covered in aspect of dust, perhaps though, because they seemed to be several hundreds of feet above me, at angle.

These "lights" numbered 9 - 13? (I can't quite remember); in any case there were more than 5 or 6 of them.

I parked my car on the street in Millbank, London SW1 and looked up toward SE or SW, in the direction of MI6 Vauxhall Bridge and Battersea and saw lights coming together from perhaps SE or SW England. They made manoeuvres in the sky, unknown to any aircraft I've ever seen make. That's why I immediately thought "prankters playing with powerful search lights"? This notion, however, was quickly dismissed when I saw them changed colors, one-by-one from red to orange-yellow then slowly fly off, breaking the motionless upright to flat circular formation that they had previously assumed.

As they flew off slowly, their lights changing from reds-oranges-yellows, their speeds increased; they adopted the V formation again, then changed colors to electric blues (they were pretty high above the ground). I've never before nor after seen any vehicle move at such incredible speeds. Off they went into the southeast or southwest regions of the sky.

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

To my mind, the sighting cannot be explained as the moon, birds or clouds, nor as any man-made flying object, and as I've already mentioned the impossibility of search lights that could be controlled by computers to make unconventional maneuvers such as horizontal, virtical, rolls etc. Slow then fast speeds and then disapeared hundreds of miles away into they clear night sky.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Seeing is believing...I had never before seen a UFO, but I never dismissed any claims that they did/didn't exist. People I've spoken to can't believe that, what I saw could have been UFOs...I don't care, but I do know that for them "seeing is believing".

Other Comments

I become interested in the idea of magetic levitation or nuclear powered aircraft and found a book by Paul R. Hill entitled "Unconventional Flying Object ...a scientific analysis" that seemed to corrobrate my sighting and offered an explaination for the strange movements and lights as well as speeds at which these objects flew.

Summary:

small White ball (not a light) moving at speed in an arc, which Stopped and 'hovered' for 10 minutes. It then started moving left then right before eventually disappearing behind clouds.

Date Reported:

5/9/2006 3:55:39 AM

Sighting Time: 

2:45pm

Day/Night: 

Daytime

No. of Witnesses: 

1

Duration: 

15-20 minutes

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Solid white ball. Absoloutely no obvious features. It did not seem to be glinting in the sun at all. There was no sound at all from the object.

Size of Object(s)

It was small. I am guessing at 5- 10 feet or so. This is purely based on comparisons with passenger aircraft (737 type) which i had observed approaching the local airport (15 miles away)

Description of Area / Surroundings

Suburban area. Washington is roughy equidistant from the cities of Newcastle and Sunderland (8-10 miles to each). The nearest military bases that I know of probaly 30-50 miles away although as I say in my report it is very unuasual to see any kind of military aicraft here.

Full Description & Details

It was a warm sunny day (2:45 pm GMT) with mostly clear blue skies. There was no breeze at ground level and the few clouds in the sky were moving very slowly in a northeasterly direction.

I was lying in a hammock looking westwards when i saw a small white ball in the sky.

It was moving in an arc from a northerly direction and turning east.

I couldn't gauge the height of the object other than to say it was lower than the few clouds that were there. At a guess i would say that it would have been no more than 10 feet across. I say this because I had observed a number of passanger jets approaching the local airport (Newcastle - approx 15 miles away) at roughly the same height and they were considerably bigger than this object.

I would describe the object as being a white solid ball rather than silver. It did not appearing to be shining in the sun.

Once it was directly over my head it stopped - not abrubtly -it just basically slowed and stopped. It 'hovered' above my head for approx 10-15 minutes. It did not move at all during this time. It then moved slowly eastwards a little and over the top of my house. At this point I lost sight of it and had to move to the top of the garden at which point i saw it again between clouds. Again it seemed to be hovering. it did this for a minute or so before slowly moving north for a short distance then south then north again. At this point it disappeared behind clouds and i lost sight of it totally. The sighting. in total, lasted approx 15-20 minutes.

Approx 40 minutes after i had first spotted the object a jet fighter (looked like a Tornado type aircraft) flew at speed and below the clouds in a southerly direction, roughly towards where I had last seen the ball. It is most unusual to see military aircraft in this area.

I would have to say that I do have an interest in ufology and have read some books and seen some video clips but until now I have seen absoloutely nothing that I couldn't rationally explain. I suppose from my description some people may believe that the object that I observed was a balloon. I am sure that this is not the case. From its movement it was obvious that it had mass to it (if that makes sense) and obviously wasn't an object just blowing about in the breeze.

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

No. I have tried to convince myself that it could have been a large balloon, but that is just me trying to put a rational expalnation to something that I can't explain.

Witness Background

I am 40 years old and have been a civil servant (Central government) for 20+ years. I am married with 2 children.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I have an interest in UFOs and have read some books on the subject. I have also seen a fair few ufo video clips . I would say that I was certainly open minded to the possibility of the existence of ufos. Prior to this I have seen nothing that I couldn't explain or dismiss as natural or man made.

Other Comments

When I saw the object I could have easily gone to get a camera, and I did think about it, but without being melodramatic, I was so happy to see it that i couldn't bring myself to move - which is not how I would have expected myself to react.

Summary:

Big matelic silver oval object. It had no wings, and passed by at a very low altitude. There was no noise coming from the object. My son at the time was 11, he was the one that pointed the object out. When I looked outside I seen the silver object was in the sky about 1,200 feet above.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Very big round shaped object, silver in color. There was no noise coming form the object. The object looked like two dinner plates stacked on top of each other.

Size of Object(s)

over 100 feet across, from bottom to top was 50 - 60 feet in height " rough estimate."

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

Altitude was 1,200 feet. From the house was in distance was 600 feet away.

Description of Area / Surroundings

The sighting was just infront of my house. There is mountains surrounding my house. There was trees, no clouds, and clear blue sky.

Full Description & Details

I went outside to what my son was pointing at, I seen the silver object hovering above the house at 1200 feet . The object was oval in shape, it had no wings and did not make any noise. Its color was silver. When it moved it moved very slowly and vanished behind the mountains. This happened around 7:30 am. My son was getting ready for shcool at the time when he drawed my attention to the object looking out the window. I then went outside to have a closer look and I believed what I seen. It was not a weather balloon or a satalite cause the object was too close to be either one. Neither was it an airplane or a helicopter, if it was it would have made a loud noise from having engines. This object was very quiet when it moved.

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

no

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Before I seen the UFO I have not read or studied about them. I head talk of other people seeing them, I was a skeptic about UFO's until I seen one for myself. If I had more information about them I would study more and learn more because I believe there are UFO's or something other than us humans out there.

Other Comments

After the sighting, I experienced re-ocurring dreams or being in a trans, I hear strange noises and sounds. It's like a buzzing sound. When I hear this sound, it automatlicly causes me to look up to the sky. I never look up until I hear this sound. And when I look up I can see an uncountable number of UFO's. This dream happens 5 to 6 times thoughout the years.
