Full Description & Details

I live in a small city with a small airport. We are situated in a valley with mountains all around us. My sister and 3 friends had stopped by and we were standing out in the drive way, along with my nephew. It was 10:45 PM and a beautiful starry night, with a bright 1/2 moon.There were 6 of us. My nephew and one of the other males were standing near the car and were looking at the stars both saw the object and called out to us. We looked up and could not believe this large object passing overhead. It was large half a city block and very quiet. One would never notice this object if you were not looking directly at it . You could see the outline of the object but not the body of it. When it moved over the stars they were blocked out. This may sound silly but it looked like the spaceships on Star Trek when they were just un cloaking only the outline was visable. It went in an easterly direction and without turning it went North and disappeared. I am 60 years old and have never seen anything quite so amazing. I lived in the Prairies where the night sky is like a wide screen TV where you can see in every direction. I have seen some pretty weird things in the sky but never so close.

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

No, as the object moved and the stars disappeared when the object moved under them

Witness Background

I worked in Christian ministry for 25 years. Have recently moved from Vancouver BC to a smaller city. I am now doing recall work.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I have believed that something must be out there, I and a girl friend were camping in WA mountains a few years ago and saw something in the the sky that we watched for about 1 hour, When we reported it to the Warden she told us that what we had seen had been sighted numerous times by others.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

The object was massive and huge, Oblate Spheroid shape. I could only see most of the bottom of this silver-gray object. At the distance at the first set of clouds, but above it, this "object" hovered between that layer and the second set of clouds.

Size of Object(s)

If this "Object" were to sit on Earth, I swear it had to be more than a football field in size. I could not see anything but a clean underbottom. It was perfectly round, but at that distance, I could see a slight tilt in the way I sat in my car, and the way this object was hovering above. I actually did measure with my hands that day, using both hands to measure the height above ground and distance across. I was a bit nervous of my first sighting that I did not want to lose sight of it. I kept wondering what will people think when I tell them of my accounting of what I had seen.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Military Base. Fort Carson, Colorado, USA.

Full Description & Details

While periodically glanced upward to the traffic light, a huge, silverish-gray disk suddenly appeared through the first set of low clouds! It hovered up there above that first level of clouds. I was in disbelief! I continued to shout aloud inside my car, "Holy Jesus!" and other things I cannot recall. I simply would not have believed anyone's stories of UFO sightings until I saw that one that day. Before the red light turned to green, and me smiling from ear to ear as if I was one lucky or unfortunate guy, this huge disk took off in a flash to my right, making it appear as if there was a tail trailing behind it. I believe that "tail" was actually due to the fact that my eye could not keep up with its speed! I reported this incident to my fellow soldier, SSG Celso Lujan and to CPT Raymond Wixom, who thought I was losing my mind. The following day, SSG Lujan, while reading the Colorado Springs Telegraph Gazette or The Sun paper, started screaming out to me to come quick. In that paper was an article by the UP that reported that over 500,000 people in Australia or New Zealand had seen the exact same object that I had just seen the day before! CPT Wixom and SSG Lujan then did not know what to make of what I had reported to them the day before. I think the date was in April 1986 or sometime in early 1987.

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

After having seen this Object, NO WAY could this have been made or designed by Earth people as I know today. This thing took off at a speed to hard to imagine. In an instant, it moved slightly to the left and like a blink of an eye, it took off to the right of my view!

Witness Background

I was a Legal Noncommissioned Officer at the time of my sighting this UFO "object". At the time of my service around 1986, I had been about 13 years of active duty.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I would never have believed anyone's accounting of seeing a UFO or such. I NOW BELIEVE, BECAUSE I WITNESSED ONE MYSELF. GIVE ME A TRUTH SERUM, AND THE TRUTH COMES OUT, WHAT I SAW. CONTACT THOSE I REPORTED TO, AND THEY SHOULD RECALL. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE NEWSPAPER ARTICLE, REPORTING THAT OVER 500,000 PEOPLE CONTINENTS AWAY, DEPICTING THE SAME THING I REPORTED TO SSG LUJAN AND TO CPT. WIXOM.

Other Comments

I still look to the skies. I now live in Connecticut. I have not seen anything since. I will remember this event of what I saw until the day I die. I am a believer now. I often wonder why Me, of all the people stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado, that day, was I the only one to have seen it. Or was I? I ask myself, "Why was I permitted to see this above me while at a traffic light at near noon-time" and "Am I lucky to have seen this, or was this a curse" Was I supposed to see this to discount my disbeliefs of those other's stories? Stories of UFO sightings really did bore me Until That Day.

Sighting was seen in a busy part of the City. The objects disappeared behind a huge, white building with massive satellite disc on top.

Full Description & Details

I was on my way to work one Sunday morning and waiting for the "walk sign" on the corner of 52nd and 9th Ave in Midtown, Manhattan when I spotted 4 metallic disc-shaped objects on the sky (right where I was facing). There was a marathon that day so I dismissed the objects as mere balloons that got away until I saw the red blinking lights. As I in awe,I was trying to figure out what I am witnessing at that moment. They seemed to glide and spin in unison, as if in a fleet position while red lights goes on and off. It disappeared behind a white, tall building that can be seen on 10th Avenue near 53rd Street. Every object has 4 red blinking lights on the disc body. No visible windows except for the small dome in the middle (on top and bottom) of every object - the color of the dome is the same as the rest of the object - metallic dark silver and not shiny. I don't know what I saw that day but it certainly did retain in my mind up until the day I am writing this sighting report.

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

It doesn't look man-made to me. How can a man manage to be inside a spinning craft without becoming dizzy?

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Brightly glowing spherical with a dark (unlit) ring or fin along the side. Small tail visable at one point. Got darker as it proceeded towards the sun. Looked like an oncoming jetliner to begin with. Bright light but seeming not to move as a jet would appear if it was heading directly at one.

less than one finger with the naked eye for relative size. Acutal size? LARGE.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

Between 5 and 10 miles and perhaps 500 feet in altitude

Description of Area / Surroundings

Both urban and rural. We believe it passed right over Abbotsford International Airport. It passed over the general area of Abbotsford, BC. It traveled approximately 15 miles in the 20 to 25 minutes we watched it.

Full Description & Details

At approximately 5:00 a.m., my husband came in and hollared for me 'to come see the UFO!'

We watched what appeared to be an oncoming jetliner for a minute or two until we realized that it was moving in a west to easterly direction. We became aware of this movement as the craft passed beyond branches of a tree in our front yard.

Once we were certain that it wasn't moving towards us, giving the illusion of holding still, we got out the binocculars for a closer look. It was like nothing we'd ever seen before.

It appeared to be quite large and at first glance, I found myself thinking of the planet Saturn. It was rounded over the top (dome shaped) and glowing brightly. It had a couple small, blinking lights on the top and around the middle there appeared to be a dark, unlit 'fin' or ring of some kind. We could see this quite clearly through the binocculars. My husband and son reported seeing large windows in the upper portion of the craft, above the dark ring. I was unable to make out that detail but my eyesight isn't as good as theirs is.

As it proceeded easterly, a small tail-like assembly became visable. As it approached the mountains, the glow diminished rather than increasing, as we thought it would do as it got closer to the rising sun.

We watched this object move slowly across the horizen until we lost it behind some woods. A few minutes after we lost sight of it, I went back out to see if I could reaquire it. I found it in a more easterly position than it had been and at that time it was quite dark, almost shadow like and moving over the crest of the mountain. It passed from view within seconds.

Being rather bothered by not knowing what the heck it was, my son and I spent some time online looking at pictures of dirigables and UFOs. It looked nothing like the large numbers of pictures we went through.

I phoned the Abbotsford International Airport to see if they could assist me in finding out if there had been any unusal aircraft scheduled to pass over but they knew of nothing. They gave me the phone number to call and inquire about flight plans so I called those folks. The man I spoke with checked to see if there had been a flight plan filed for that hour of the morning and that local but there was nothing on record.

I phoned our local airport in Bellingham, WA but they were unable to advise me. I also checked with our local news/talk radio station to see if anyone else had reported seeing this craft but nobody had. The local news paper hadn't had any reports of folks seeing it either. At that point, I was at a loss as to how to try and find out the origin of this craft.

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

We've tried and tired to make it be a blimp but if it was, it was like nothing we'd ever seen before.

Full Description & Details

These discs were clearly not stars, neither were they satellites or anything type of flying object I had ever seen. They moved slowly across the screen at first, then amazingly started moving at very rapid speeds and in zigzagging manouvres across the screen. This lasted for more than a minute. As it was 1am and silent (save for the hum of the engine) in the cabin most of the other passengers seemed to be either asleep or not paying attention to the UFO's evident on the screen ahead, but I've off wondered since if the pilot's might have seen it. I wonder if it is a common occurence among passenger, commercial and military pilots to view strange phenomena like this while they are flying. I racked my brain for an explanation for what I saw on that occasion and couldn't come up with one, other than they were UFO's. The other thing I remember feeling at the time, and this is somewhat difficult to explain, was that whatever was controlling these orange objects knew that I was observing them, or quite possibly they were allowing me to do so.

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

No. The unusual way these flying objects were moving was unlike anything explainable by a man-made or natural phenomenon.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I've always viewed the phenomenon of UFO sightings with an open mind, though I'd never delved into the literature on the subject until I had my own encounter with them on the flight in October last year.

Other Comments

My personal view is that the intelligent life forms controlling these objects are observing us and preparing for a time in the future when they will make direct contact with the human race. I have the feeling, again I cannot explain why, that these beings are not hostile and will possibly arrive to help us and the Earth at a time when we most need them.

Three red objects in the form of a red triangle. Each point was red with a hazy red ring around each one. Not sure if these three red points were individual objects or the outer points of a larger one. They moved very fast and erratic but the space between them was constant. No sound was heard.

Size of Object(s)

If they were outer points of a large object I would say it was bigger than a 747. If they were individual objects I would say 30-40ft diameter each.

Description of Area / Surroundings

I live in the city of Gonzales which is a small town of 7200 people. I live two blocks from downtown so I have plenty of city light haze.

Full Description & Details

After working on a couple of websites late last night I went outside the house to turn on the automatic sprinklers as I usually run them at night. I looked up and noticed three red objects in a perfect triangle shape moving at a brisk speed. The objects were solid red (no blinking lights) in a triangle shape (there wasn't any attachments or points that would indicate there's lights were part of one object. The three "points" were moving with great speed and would make 90 degree turns then proceed forward then turn again. There were no sounds coming from the objects so if you didn't happen to look up you wouldn't of even noticed them. For about 10 seconds I followed them till a tree obstructed the view. I ran to the front of the house where we have a clearing and watched them till they disappeared. They appeared to be traveling South West towards Nixon, TX but obviously I cannot say 100% sure with their previous flight pattern and by then they were out of site. I live in town so there's plenty "City light" so hopefully someone that lives out in the rural areas saw something.

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

No, the object(s) were moving in perfect sync at a high rate of speed with perfect 90 degree turns and no sound.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I've seen two UFO's in my 30 years on Earth. The older I'am getting the more I figured it was the government or top secret program vs. aliens specifically but this sighting has made me think twice. First how are speeds and flight patterns like I witnessed man made, second why fly over some small country town? Looks like it would be a waste of resources if it was Government.

Other Comments

My last UFO sighting was in Dallas, TX about 8 years ago. A group of four of us pulled up to my apartment and noticed a very odd looking object in the sky. It was flying extremely low and unusually slow. It was quite intimidating. It was a solid black object, triangular shaped, and was what I would say large. Another strange thing is that this was at night too...around 10PM. It was almost like the object didn't want to be seen. No sound, no lights, no anything. You may ask "How did you notice it if you were in the city, it was night, the object was black with no lights?" City lights! As anyone knows that lives in the city, if you look up you see city lights that give the sky an almost hazy look. Well this object stood out because it was a slow moving, large object that was solid black. So when you have a hazy sky with a large solid black object moving it gets your attention. My reaction was nervous, and not excited for sure as it was very intimidating.

Black all over. Disc-oval shaped. Edges of the object glowed a brilliant golden colour. Don't know whether that was from the glare of the sun or it's own power.

Size of Object(s)

Could not give estimate of the size of the object, but from where we were standing, it did not look that big. My hand would have covered it if I had stretched my arm out.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

It must have been about 6 - 700ft in the sky, because the cathedral is about 450ft tall.

Description of Area / Surroundings

The area was urban, but the cemetary we were resting in could be classed as rural, very peaceful place with lots of different birds and also a running spring.

Full Description & Details

In 1997 - summer - my son, who was aged 9 at the time, my girlfriend and myself decided to stop off for a rest in an old cemetary that we lived near. I think the month was June or July. I remember it being boiling hot, not a cloud in the sky. We had just been shopping and on the way back we rested in the cemetary.

As we sat there, sweating, my son suddenly looked up and shouted, 'Dad. Look at that balloon in the sky. It's moving weird'.

My girlfriend and myself both looked up toward the object. Directly facing us was the Anglican Cathedral - the 4th largest in Europe. The object was some way behind the cathedral - and higher than it.

We watched the object closely. It definately was not a balloon. It was sort of disc-shaped but oval at the same time. It was completely black all over. The object - whatever it was- was flipping over and over in the sky very slowly. As it flipped, the edges of this object was glowing a brilliant golden colour. My son, by this time, was very excited, when he suddenly realised that it was not a balloon.

My girlfriend just stood watching this thing open-mouthed. The object made its way toward the cathedral - flipping over and over all the while. It was moving very methodically and slowly across the sky. It disappered behind the cathedral and reappeared in front of the cathedral. It was still moving very very slowly. As it flipped over and over the edges of the object were glowing brilliant gold. I don't know whether this was because it was catching the glare from the sun that was behind us, or whether it was from it's own power.

We - I - Had never seen anything like this in our lives before. I timed this thing and the whole event lasted about 10 minutes. I remember wishing that I had a camera or something to record this. But, as God is my witness, what I saw that day has stayed with me since. I don't know of any man-made object that moved like this thing across the sky.

Since 1997 I have checked websights, newspaper articles and even rang up the local airport to give in details of this thing. There was actually a small aircraft in the sky at the same time as this thing. The airport told me that there was nothing in the sky, apart from the small plane, at that particular time. I know there was because I witnessed it.

My son, who is now 18, has seen this same object twice more. He said it was moving the same way as in 1997, it was black in colour, disc-oval shaped, moving slowly, flipping over and over and not making any sound. His sightings of this thing was around 2005.

I don't have a clue as to what this is. When I watched this object in 1997, we could not hear any birds or car noises - like the sound had been turned down or off. This sighting has haunted me ever since and I would like you, if possible, to tell me whether you have had any such reports of this same object anywhere else in the world.

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

No no no. The way this object was moving was beyond belief.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I had always thought that there might be someone - or something out there. My views were - and still are - that we surely are not the only life forms in the whole universe. My mind is completely open to the possibility of other beings visiting us.

Other Comments

I would just like to know what the hell it is that I witnessed in 1997. If you have anything at all in your files that is anything like my, or my son's description - who, incidently, has spotted this same object 3 times now in Liverpool, then I would like to know. Many thanks.

UFO SIGHTING – Monday, April 24, 2006

Approximately 11:30 p.m. (rough estimate)

Location: Between Wikieup, AZ and Wickenburg, AZ

Driving south on Highway 93 headed to Phoenix. Two-lane, remote road; fairly sparse traffic at the time. Clear, dark skies away from the city.

• Terrain directly in front of me (viewing through windshield of suv)—flat; no mountains; no obstructions. Straight ahead of me and at about the top of my viewing area (the windshield) appeared two quite bright white lights. Could not judge distance or altitude; but both appeared to be quite extensive. The lights would flash very brightly and then dim (to nothing, they would then disappear). It appeared that one would flash and the other would dim. They were fairly close to each other during this ritual; which I observed for only maybe 30 to 60 seconds. I assume things definitely could and probably were happening prior to my viewing; but I was not tuned in in that direction. This very bright light when it flared up was very large in the sky; perhaps half the size of a full moon and on the intensity level of a floodlight. My first thought was that they were airplanes and it scared me because their paths seemed to close. It quickly became apparent that their appearance and behaviour was nothing like airplanes. Their paths seemed like one might even be crossing the other; and if this was the case then they would probably have been circling each other. Again, they did not beam at the same time, but one and then the other. My husband saw the end of this scene just described; but certainly enough to confirm what occurred and get his full attention. Right after he observed this also, they both went on disappear mode and but for the stars the sky was black. During the next 10-15 minutes, it appeared there was nothing at all untoward; except 3 or 4 times one of them would briefly flare brightly and immediately go on disappear mode—IN THE SAME EXACT LOCATION AS THE INITIAL VIEWING. Only one would flare up during these instances. Then, after these intermittent flashes, one of the ships went on a dim mode (for the first time—the previous modes had just been extremely bright and completely dark). The dim lights flashed at about the intensity of an ordinary airplane’s lights. This was the craft on the east side and it then took off with dim, blinking lights at an incredible pace across the sky and was quickly gone on an eastern trajectory. Approximately 30-60 seconds later, the craft on the west side repeated this exactly heading off and quickly disappearing on a southwest trajectory. This was the end of the incident.

As I gazed out over the ocean towards the horizon I was amazed at how lovley the stars where, we had a brilliant view over Red Beach from our two storey apartment. As I looked up towards the stars above infront of me I noticed there was a large area that was blacked out? which is inconcievable? and very hard to comprehend... the area size that I noticed was all dark with no stars was huge!!. My view from my verandah over the sea gave us a large wide perspective of sea and sky where the view is undisturbed by any other obsticles such as trees or building we lived on a hill.

As I thought about what I was looking at, I noticed that this dark area had very straight lines that from one place two another I realised that this was one big huge object.from where i was standing it took up more than half the sky (front of me).

I could not see the details of the object but I saw what shape it was from the many stars it was moving past (infront of).

The lines of the Object where consistent I could see it clearly had three corners,it when from the left side of my view to the right and then down it looked as though it was going into the for distant ocean but was proberly moving below the horizon.

When i noticed it it woud have been just to the left of me it drifted? slowly across the sky to the right then turned slightly as it went East south then turned south and drifted slowly below the horizon

There was obsolutley NO sound coming from this object from where I was standing.

It was not flying, it was more hovering silently about 5-600 yards above the interstate. This was about 5:45PM during Rush hour traffic. I watched it as it lights went on and off in various patterns, as i turned off the exit. It was then obscured by the tress for no more than 3 seconds as i approached the red light at the end of the exit. I ran the light to seeif i could see it again... and it was gone. it had just dissappeared. No vapor trail, it wasnt off in the distance..it was just gone.

My roommate was with me in the car and he saw the exact same thing.

it was had a body span of about 2-300 feet fro0m wing tip to wing tip with a hump in the middle on the bottom. there were three lights.one on the close to the end of each wing and one in the middle..but lower..not all in a row.
