Appearance / Description of Object(s)

The biggest one: horizontal lights, flashing red, orange, and blue. It pretty much just hovered in one spot. Once it got farther away it looked like two flashing stars stuck together. Sometimes the lights went verticle. two smaller ones: 3 white lights circulating with one red in the middle.

Size of Object(s)

Not possible.. It was at night, we only saw the lights.

Description of Area / Surroundings

It was on the drive home from Orillia, it was a pretty bushy place, we had to find clearings a lot of the time because of trees. The area we were in was rural, but we were about an hour from the city.

Full Description & Details

They were zig-zagging back and forth. One of the "crafts" hovered all over the place, up and down, even sideways. The biggest one just hovered with flashing red, orange and blue lights, they seemed to be in a horizontal pattern. Small "crafts" suddenly appeared around it and moving faster than I've ever seen, they had circulating white lights and one red.

I just want to know what it could be, four of us were in the vehicle at the time, none of us had ever seen anything like it.

The first one we saw was a lot bigger and it just hovered in the same spot, moving in all kinds of directions. At one point it moved so fast there seemed to be a white trail behind it. About 20 minutes later the "craft" started to get farther away, towards space, then another appeared pretty close to it and moved so fast over our vehicle. We had to get out and look, it took about 10 seconds for it to go from, where we first saw it, to way over our heads and disappear. I was actually terrified, and I couldn't think of anything else it could be unless someone was flying super fast jets or something, but they never landed. They just went up and disappeared. Plus there was circulating lights around it.

One more thing, when we saw the first small one, a couple of us noticed a shooting star or something.. I don't know if that matters.

The sighting lasted quite a while, the drive was 2 hours, about 45 minutes into the drive we noticed the first one. I still saw a speck of the first craft when I got out of the car, and it was still flashing red, orange and blue.

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

I've never seen anything man-made move so fast in my entire life.

Full Description & Details

During a fishing trip with one companion an inexplicable incident occurred that still puzzles me some thirty years later. The location was the eastern side of Moreton Bay, Queensland .This is a largely shallow stretch of water, but occurred in the relatively small portion where depth increases to about 30 metres. We had been fishing on the drift on an almost calm day when the fish went off the bite and the decision was made to motor back up current ( tidal ). Upon reeling in the lines I became aware that the watetr beneath the boat had "turned white". It quickly bacame apparent that under the boat was a seemingly white circular object about 10 meters in diameter stationary at a depth of about 5 metres or perhaps a little more. The waters in this area are quite clear and the bottom is visible at about 7 metres depth not far away. As I said though this was in water about 30 metres deep.

For a period of at least 10 minutes this "thing" remained in position, not squarely under the 6 metre boat but offset slightly. My initial reaction, not being that experienced on the water at that time, was that it must be a dense aggregation of marine life of some kind, though it looked like a helicopter landing pad, minus markings of any kind submerged beneath us. Peering into the water, no detail of any kind was evident, just uniform whiteness. My fishing mate was becoming quite agitated by this interloper, repeated asking "What the hell is it? "I could offer no explanation. Curiousity now got the better of him, and he stripped off to dive in to investigate. What occurred next convinced me we had been in strange company indeed! No sooner had he hit the water our visitor tilted rapidly to a shallowish angle and disappeared rapidly away from us. I had the immediate impression of a solid object, all-of-a piece under intelligent control. Upon surfacing my friend reported seeing nothing at all, not surprising really considering no mask and the sudden movement of this object. No more was seen of it, and we returned to port, and a barbeque meal.

Not surprisingly , the subject turned to unexplained phenomona, and my "diver" friend and another chap present, a merchant seaman, spoke of an eerie incident that occurred some five years prior in an offshore overnight fishing in oceanic waters. The night was calm and windless and around midnight a strange sound was heard that they described as similar to the sound you get whenyou move your hand over a vacuum cleaner nozzle-that is , a sucking noise.This continued for fully fifteen minutes, by which time our merchant mariner was becoming panicky. Immediately the sound stopped, overhead travelling at incredible speed three lights in a triangular configuration heading south disappearing to the horizon in seconds. Amazingly , this corroborated a story told to me some years earlier by a close relative. He was parked with his girlfriend on a headland some ten miles from where the seaborne observation occurred on what may well have been that night.. Stretching his legs outside the car, he was shocked by three lights as described above flying at great speed to the south......His instinctive reaction was to duck, as to him they seemed very low, and dazzlingly fast.

I hope the above adds something your information bank on your subject of interest.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Silver top dome was shining with suns yellow reflection, the main disc based body was blurred very much. I dont remember much abt the bottom of the UFO thing.

Size of Object(s)

about 5 to 8 meters in diameter, 6 to 8 meters in height.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

abt 50 to 60 ft up and 30 meters away towards east. dont know for how long it was stationed there.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Its an area full of greenary and calm nature. feels like heaven on earth some times. there is only a Highway about a kilometer from the sight, towards south- west, and nothing else. may be a few houses located very remotely apart from each other in the forest kind of an area. Town is abt 3 miles away.

Full Description & Details

It was my routine morning walk, fumbled over a small pile of dry grass and dirt. Sudden turn towards east made me look at that big grey dome, grey because it was just above the sun which was raising. Stunned i stood there with awe!!! few seconds later i realized i was not heraing anything. Except for a high pithch sound as if it were coming from deep inside of my brain. My eyes also slowly started getting blacked from either sides. I couldnt move my body much, as if i was held by some entity unseen. when my vision was almost blinded it was like a small key hole from which i was looking at it, when it very rapidly dissolved into the sky. The whole experience lasted for about a minute or just abt it. I immediaitely came back to my normal condition and started hearing normally. I ran as fast as I could to a near by road, Saw a few people and felt relaxed. None of them looked like they too experinced or saw what i did and hence i didnt bother asking them. My bike was parked a few meters away. I went to it and rode back home early that day and never went for wa morning walk again.

no. rationally speaking, It was something different. never seen anything like that before.

we were riding in a dodge lancer, i am not sure how far away it was from us,. but i knew it was bigger than the car....I would guess now that it was probably more like40ft long. 50ft in the middle at its widest point. Just guessing.

Description of Area / Surroundings

oil fileds,...canyons, refineries,very rural, dessert terrain. Amarillo Tx only a short distance away. Military base and facilities.

Full Description & Details

My grandparents lived in the small community surrounding the oil refinery and we visited them on sundays usually. We left before sunset as I remember the bright orange colors in the sky that is normal for northern Tx sunsets. MY parents, myself and my two sisters and brother were all in the car. I was 6 yrs old. I remember everything that was said and i remember feeling very excited at first. At first I remember seeing 3 objects hovering over the main refinery, and then i notice there was another a little further away. They moved around a bit , kind of like humming birds feeding. Then one(#5) moved toward our car as we were moving slowly down the sandy road..the only way out and to the main highway. It followed us staying level with us in speed and just above us far enough that we could see it completely. It looked like it was made of stainless steel,..smooth. no seams...solid. No lights no windows. I thought it was amazing for awhile and then for no reason at all, I became frightened of it and said so outloud,..when i did, the object came to a stop, paused and then disappeared very quickly moving straight up. My mother said she saw what looked like exhaust come out of one end,..but i don't recall that at all. My older brother and I were all into calling the local radio station to report it. My father was angry at the thought and wouldn't allow it. He just said"Every one will think we are all crazy". So we kept it among ourselves and then quit talking about it altogether untill it was mentioned again when my mother passed away in 1995. There are only 3 of us left who experienced this and none of us agree totaly on what happened. I have a younger sister by 2 years and an older sister by 5 years. It would be interesting to find out if this was somekind of government technology at the time or foreign technology..the fact that they were checking out the gas refinery is interesting. ET's?????????

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

definately not natural. nothing man made i have ever seen could do the manuevering these did,...the way they moved and they were silent. And the fact that one of them left the bunch and followed us.

just the things i had heard on the radio and tv during the late 50's. as a child, my mind was wide open. My parents being with us made this memory very clear to me and very real. Then experience definately happened and it was nothing either of my parents had ever seen before.

This experience left me with a longing to know more. NO fear, no anxiety. Just a very strong feeling of there being so much more . I felt as if they were "playing" with our curiosity untill they sensed or fear and then they left.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

This was an organized fleet of bright orange rectangular objects with rounded corners without an identifiable light source. Each object had a small flame at the back, small relative to the size of the object itself. The flame was bluish . They appeared flat to me as I could not see any of their sides, since they were overhead.. It was quiet. no noise were heard from them. The neighborhood was pretty quiet as well.

Size of Object(s)

I'd have to put my streched arms apart almost 2 feet to cover the fleet in its length, about 1 foot to cover the width.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

the fleet was overhead, about 5-10 degrees south from the zenith. (almost overhead)

Description of Area / Surroundings

This was an urban area, 5 story buildings on the west side of a major intersection and houses on the east side. I was located where the 5 story building were. The landscape goes uphill from the east to the west, altitude is about 1800 feet.

Full Description & Details

I've emailed a draft of what I have seen 36 years ago - January 1970- in the elevated areas of Algiers were I then lived and have been ever since pondering about this extraordinary technology. The illustration that I have provided is pretty accurate in terms of colors and may be close to correct in the number of crafts in the fleet. The fleet was about 1500-2500 feet overhead (may be less) so each would size to a football field.

I was playing soccer with my brother and practicing head passes, next thing I see are these large bright objects in the sky moving together. They flew as a matrix-like unit with the back row crafts moving AT RIGHT ANGLES to come to the front of the fleet (see picture). Each craft in the back row would exit the back row to the left or to the right depending on which edge of the fleet it was closest. Their maneuvers were done at very very high speed! seemed like a cartoon. ..and when they were all reset to lead in the front row, the newly exposed last row would repeat the process. And it went on and on.The acceleration was absolutely amazing, especially when going at right angle to suddenly get in front of the fleet to rest their speed at the constant speed of the fleet. A very very quiet fleet.(No noise at all) I was lucky to be able to observe them as they flew from the west to the east.

Other things that were extraordinary was the small blue flame they had at the back of each craft, as if it was generated from propane, the flame was blue and had a shape that was as perfect as the pilot flame you see on your gas stove. The luminous orange color of the crafts did not have an identifiable source. No other lights were present. They also looked flat, but they were overhead and not close enough to see any side of them.

These objects were rectangular with rounded corners, moved at a good speed. It took about 2 minutes from the time I saw them (overhead) to when they disappeared behind the eastern horizon obastacles (buildings, trees, hills), long enough time for many people to observe them(and many have actually ) This includes the observatory of Algiers that announced it in the national newspaper the day after - they too observed it , and they are located 2 miles east of where I was, on top of the hill .

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

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I never was skeptical and always had an open mind, believe in the impossible, so to speak. I was 16 when I saw these - had not been around long in life, but since pre-school I was interested an curious about the unknown. I did belive in the existence of othe worlds before this event. I had an interest in the world wonders that were left as mysterious, Mayan calendar, Pyramids, advanced ancient civilizations etc... Today, I do not question the existence of UFOs or extraterrestrial advanced civilizations. I question their technology but most of all, the purpose of their visitation is questionnable. Why do they hide from us.

Thank you or having this site. It is well presented.

I did not report the event because members of the observsatory of Algiers observed the event as it was reported in the newspaper the day after.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

From my angle on the ground it looked completely spherical, it was a silver colour similar to Chrome in its brightness. However it was very hard to discern as it "blended" in very easily with the blue sky. As I watched it I am sure it partially disappeared as it became the same blue colour as the sky (In the same way a chameleon changes skin colour to match its background) and then it either entered the clouds or was obscured by them. After a few moments the thin layer of cloud broke and I was just able to see the object on the other side, where it seemed to hover - becoming slightly more silvver and metallic - before changing direction uttely. It was at this point I was distracted by another passer by.

Size of Object(s)

It was very high - imagining it between finger and thumb it would be approx an inch (2.5cm) across. Its height made actual size very difficult to judge (especially as I am no pilot, or other "trained" observer) however I would dare to say it would be approx. 15 - 20 feet wide, as a spherical shape i would say all of its dimensions would fit this category.

Description of Area / Surroundings

The local area is very Urban (some parts of Chingford border upon Epping Forest) but I work and indeed live in a very Urbanized area. The only features in the area are the A406 (a ring road similar to the M25 motorway surrounding London) and a Power plant that uses local refuse for its power source. There are also reservoirs near by, as well as Epping Forest some 60 - 80 minutes away by foot.

Full Description & Details

I work in Chingford, a suburb of London, and anyone familiar with this area will know it is a very urbanised area indeed. I always walk to work, as it is about 15 - 20 minutes from my home, and often look up at the sky on my walk as it is quite relaxing seeing the clouds and birds passing overhead. On the morning in question I hardly looked up at all, until around ten minutes or so from work I happened to glance up at a low flying aircraft (conventional passenger jet heading to Heathrow or City Airport for landing). However I also noticed at this time an odd shape in the sky. It was a cloudy day, and the object was soon obscured. It looked to be round and very metallic, a bright silver or "chrome" effect.

As I continued to look up (whilst also avoiding falling over as I walked!) I saw the object again. Immediately I was stuck by the thought that it was some sort of Helium balloon lost by a child. Then I realised that it was travelling in a direction opposite to the clouds direction (The clouds were heading East, more or less, so it was more or less moving West). This I thought was very odd indeed. Also, the object seemed to hover for a moment, before moving off in a direction more Southerly. I then lost the object from sight as I was destracted by someone asking for a light for their cigarette! All in all this took about 3 minutes from point of sighting to losing visual.

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

Firends have told me that you can see satelites, but can you see them at 9.35am when the sun is up? I thought it may be a lost Helium filled balloon, but its direction of travel seemed opposite to what I believed they would be able to do.

Witness Background

Occupation: Manager of a Bed + furniture showroom in chingford. I have worked in retail all my life, and am not disposed to "random lapses of judgement". I have never used any Hallucination type Drugs, so I know it was not some sort of side effect. I am a rational person, and like to know the order of things... this was just extraordainary.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I am not a UFO expert! I have read many things and seen many documentries, but do not consider myself either a believer or a sceptic - I would like to think there is "something" out there (the size of the Universe suggests there SHOULD be something out there) but I am not easily swayed into thinking everything in the sky is a UFO.

Other Comments

I am sure of what I have seen, I do not know what it was but am open to possibilities. I doubt however that it was a Satelite as I have never thought they were able to be seen in daylight. It was not a "Blimp" type object nor was it a misidentified plane - it had no wings! If it was not a Helium filled balloon then I do not know what it was.

Full Description & Details

As I was standing in the middle of the road looking at the pre-dawn sky of brilliant stars and Polaris, I noticed what seemed like a fireball low in the trees north along the road. There were huge flames all about the object and suddenly it veered to my right and rapidly gained altitude to about 22 Degrees above the horizon. (Polaris is about 45 Degrees altitude) The flames went out and I was looking at this object broadside. It was clearly delineated twice as high as its width. I could see its thickness (about 1/2 its width) as well as the top was angled about 15 degrees to the right. An extremely bright ablation tail formed from each of the four visible edges and formed smooth curves top and bottom (like a scimitar blade) joining some distance back. This tail became so bright the sky turned briefly to blue then faded to black once again with the brilliant stars in the background. I could see brown smoke trailing in the bright yellow -orange light . The object was clearly visible by an orange glowing rectangular seam at its middle and at all of its edges. There were a few orange sparks from the top and leading edges. 3 to 4 four seconds later and perhaps at a bearing 45 Deg. NE. Altitude still at about 22 Deg. It disappeared into the night sky except for a faint wisp of trailing smoke.

The road was lined with alpine firs and tent camp sites were to my right . The camp site of my friends and my self was to my right about 40 ft . The lake shore about 100 ft. The four of us were heading out on a roped accent of the Mt. Washington spire early this morning at sunrise. My friends were asleep and did not witness any of this and I did not say anything to them as I did not want to "spook" our day and some tricky climbing later on.

Further information submitted on 3/13/2006:

This is not the usual UFO case as you can see. But, there are very puzzling aspects regarding this sighting. First is I have difficulty justifying my ability to see an object possible as distant as the space station for example. If I assume 3/8th at 24in (arm length) and taking the sighting angle of 22 +,- Deg vertical angle the size of this object boggles the mind. A minimum a 2500 feet in length and more likely more than a mile in length. OR, the object dipped to perhaps just ten miles altitude above ground. Why didn't it burn up? The shape was maintained thru out its visibility. I estimate it to be traveling at near the escape velocity of earh, or 25,000 mph. It appears to be free falling and deflected to my right after approaching at a very low angle to the earth. Then perhaps headed either into earth orbit, or back into space. With only one witness, determining which would be additional conjecture.

I hope this will describe in a clearer fashion what it was I observed.

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

The size determination is critical to ascertain if manmade or not. AT first I thought perhaps this was a spent rocket casing or of that nature. But, it's shape cleary ruled this out . I know of no technology that could have constructed something is possibly a mile in length and half a mile wide and probably an 1/8th of a mile thick. Or this could have been much closer to earth - maybe 20 miles high but the angle altitude was about 22 Deg

I could not believe what I had seen. I do not remember going indoors or going to bed. The memory faded until about one year later. I was too embarassed to tell anyone fearing ridicule. My neighbour chatting over the fence was telling me how he had not smoked since he saw a UFO over our houses, some time before. Everything I have just noted above became clear in my mind. I told him that I had also seen it. Six months later he and his family returned to Malaysia. I moved out of the area.

Wheelers Hill Sighting. I was driving my daughter to her friends place. The night was clear.

I was unsure of the area, and looking for street names. Far away in the sky, 3 objects just bigger than the stars were moving left, then back in fast, straight, angular lines, then I lost sight of them. My daughter did not see them in time. i believe I was travelling north along the road.

No. This was very close and clearly passing over the roof of my house.

Full Description & Details

I was going for a walk at Fairfield Village in Ocala, Florida at approximately 9:00 P.M. I was looking at the stars (in particular, Orien) when there was a abrupt rushing sound as I saw what looked like a v-shaped wing pass about 50 feet above a tree, descending, and banking on about a 60 degree angle. I ran towards the tree to get a better view of the wing as it receeded into the dark. After the rushing sound, the wing made no sound. There were also no lights showing on the vehicle. All I could see was the general v-shape as it rocked or pitched its wingtips, banking from side to side. At first I thought it was perhaps a flock of Canadian geese, but there was no flapping sound or honking, and besides, the shape moved as a solid piece. I could barely see the shape of a row of circular lights on the rear end of the wing - but they were not lit. Mostly, I didn't believe what I was seeing and ended up asking myself why someone would be hang-gliding at 9 o'clock at night. All this time the wing made no sound as it moved less than 50 feet above the treeline. I gave up on trying to figure out what I saw and decided to continue with my walk.

At this point the wing must have backtracked because it was suddenly about 40 feet from where I was standing. It looked as if it was going to hit the trunk of a tree that was nearby, but then it poised only a few feet above the ground with it nose pointed to the tree. At this point the nose of the wing turned 90 degrees while rotating the axis of its wing so that the entire craft was on its side, perpendicular to the ground about 6 feet above the ground. The wing then moved forward to clear the tree and then straightened itself out so that it returned to the wing being in a horizontal position or parallel to the ground. It was stationary in midair for a moment before disappearing (headed north) while flying close to the treeline - all the while banking and pitching along with the shapes of the trees.

The entire incident took place in just a few minutes in silence and involved traveling from south to north. The only sounds made were when the wing did its positioning (a whirring sound) and the sound of the air itself rushing over the wing. The craft (or whatever it's called) gave the impression of a giant gliding sail or bird (like a pterodactyl) while flying. There was nothing threatening or frightening about the experience. This is the only time I've ever seen anything like it.

After the experience I went for a ride in my truck. The night was clear when I left, but low clouds rolled in by the time I got back. When I returned and turned on the left indicator, the seatbelt warning was beeping in unison with the indicator even though my belt was fastened. I looked at the dashboard and all the needles were moving irratically.

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

No, it was only about 40 feet from me, made no sound, and clearly moved like was being directed.

Witness Background

Working on MA thesis.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Views have changed. I was formerly sceptical. Just watched an occasional show and thought it was nonsense with entertainment value.
