Full Description & Details

I was around 13 or 14 years old at the time of the sighting, I was in my room and don't know why but I looked out my window and saw a very large saucer shaped object with lights around the parameter flashing, I would say that it was about 80 feet in diameter, it was moving very slowly to the south I believe, my dad was an airforce fighter pilot and an airline pilot and I knew that it was nothing that I had ever seen before, I yelled to my sister to come quick, she ran into my room and saw it also, she couldn't believe it, we called my parents up stairs to see it but by the time they got there it was gone, my mom said that a couple of days later that there was an article in the paper that it was an airforce test of some kind, I don't know if she made it up so everbody wouldn't think that we were crazy, or there really was an article about it, to this day I have never seen anything that looked like that. Some u.f.o photos look similar to what I saw, My sister was always a straight A student and very credable, and when I bring it up to people she always says boy that thing was weard looking. I am sure that it was nothing man made.

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

no way

I've already noted everything above; I would like to note, though, that this object moved very slowly, perhaps ten miles an hour if even that.

Size of Object(s)

As noted, about the same size as a Piper Cuc airplane, but a completely different shape

Description of Area / Surroundings

Rural, a major highway approximately five miles to the east - other than that, a very back road kind of area. Many people used to turn onto our road thinking it would lead toa gas station, small store, etc. but then have to get back on the highway and go another seven or eight miles into town.

Full Description & Details

As I watched the light grow closer, it became obvious that it was more than one light; rather, it seemed to be a cluster of lights either moving from side to side or going around and around one another. Until they were literally right in front of my window, that is, approximately 100 yards away (and probably about one hudred feet above my trees), they seemed to be different shades of white, pale, cream, but then suddenly they began turning red and orange. I remember getting up and going to the back door and watching as the craft (which I still thought might be some sort ofairplane) come closer, and then I was outside looking right up into the underside of the object. I don't remember walking out of the house, and even in the rural area, I'm not the kind who would have walked out without at least my bathrobe on, but there I was, in my kneesocks and a Snoopy nightshirt, staring up at this thing. When I registered what I was looking at I realized that it was about the size of a Piper Cub airplane, but it was shaped entirely differently - it was shaped like a triangle, and the lights I had thought were going from side to side were in fact running around all three boarders. The object was approximately fifty feet above my head at this point and it simply hung there, making NO NOISE WHATSOEVER. i have heard people say that they were filled with awe upon seeing these sorts of things - I was flat out terrified, and I remember trying to open my mouth to yell or something, but I couldn't move. It wouldn't have done me any good anyhow as my husband was on the road for work and as said, my closest neighbor was a mile away. I watched this thing just hang above me for however long - I have no idea - and then I remember thinking "Please don't take me, I'm needed here." (My brother was dying at this time.) Then there was a loud clunking sound; it sounded as though a million little iron pipes or something were dropped at the same time, and an immense heat just washed across me: then I was back inside my house and watching as the object glided back in the direction it came, and I remember thinking, "I'll bet I have a sunburn from this."

I slept until four o'clock the next afternoon, and when I woke up, I checked newscasts, etc.; I remembered everything vividly, and never thought - and still do not think - it was a dream. What is interesting is that to this day I have an odd burned sort of patch on my right buttuck which I simply can't explain, and I have continued to have dreams that I believe are contact of some sort and which I am not comfortable with going into detail about here. My husband believed what happened to me as did the few friends and family members I told, and I believe what I have been told in some of the follow up dreams. Do I think I was taken anywhere? No. Do I think I had a close encounter? Yes. I am in the public eye and have gone out of my way not to publicize this matter in any way, but your website is treated so jokingly and so disrespectfully that I decided to finally say something so that you know your site is important to some people. I personally think I was 'passed over' because it went through my head during the encounter that I needed to stay because of my brother's illness; I completely believe in this subject and feel that the government knows more than it releases to the public, too. Another interesting side note is that nine years later I came down with cancer, which seems to be a recurring theme for persons who have witnessed this sort of thing; the high amounts of radiation, etc.

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

No - this was not a government object. I have since seen similar reports by people on programs and I get very upset, uneasy, etc. - I have actually started crying and walked out of the room. I feel as though something happened to me that I don't completely remember, but I continue to believe that I was NOT actually abducted; I don't know why I think this, but I do.

Witness Background

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I had an interest in the subject before but was neither a believer nor non-believer. I think I should note one other odd thing that came with the experience - I began having psychic dreams, etc. and am now known as the one in the family to ask whether or not a marriage will be successful, a trip should be undertaken, etc. (I dreamt I called all my friends the week before 9/11 and asked them not to go to NYC, for instance). Something happened, and I will take this belief to my grave.

Full Description & Details

This was Friday, Feb. 10, 2006. It was a fairly clear sky, fairly warm day.

This is ALMOST unbelievable, even to me. 2 days before, I witnessed a black sphere with red markings or a red flashing light, simply hovering for a few minutes.

While pointing out the area to my brother and my mother, suddenly a rice-grain shaped object shot past us at an AMAZING speed. "There's one right now!" I shouled. My brother laughed, I think he thought I was joking. It was an incredible 'coincidence'. I guess that's the word. I can't think of a better one right now.

It was remarkable. It zoomed by so fast, they couldn't see it. Then ANOTHER one just like it flew by. They both did some kind of 'flea-jump' type thing. It seemed like the objects just 'zig-zagged' in mid-flight then straightened out and kept going. It wasn't really a zig-zag, as I couldn't see the 'zig'. The object just appeared in one place, then another, then another, like that, until it straightened out and kept going. This is why I call it 'flea-jumping' . If you've ever seen a flea jump, you know that you can't actually see it jump, it just suddently appears in a different place. The whole thing lasted 5 seconds or less. I mean, From directly up to the end of the horizon in 5 seconds or less. I would guess it traveled at 12,000 mph at least.

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

No. No way. Not a rocket, meteor, or jet. Not even close to being possible. Do you know of anything which can go to the horizon in less than 5 seconds?

Witness Background

I have also seen on Thursday (the day after seeing the black object), Saturday (the day after seeing the rice-shaped objects), and today, Monday (the day after a plane crashed onto a house here in Roseville), a white globe moving slowly but erratically through the sky.

Full Description & Details

It was a clear, sunny mid-winter day. I went to the backyard to visit with my cat. After I had reclined for awhile, my cat jumped up onto my chest. I closed my eyes for a few minutes, then my cat crept up closer to my face. I opened my eyes to put him back on the ground, and looked up to see a round, black object simply STUCK in the air. It was such an amazing sight, it didn't register for a few seconds. I couldn't understand how this object was simply stationary in the sky.

I watched the object for awhile, looking to see if it was going to move. It didn't. It simply stayed there, but periodically either gently 'rolled' a little bit to reveal a red area or else flashed a red light randomly.

At that moment, I ran to get a camera, but not being familiar with a digital, was not able to get a picture. I think the memory card or whatever it is was full. I did manage to take one pic, but not sure if the object was in the viewfinder, and when I tried to download it to my computer, it wouldn't accept it. I still have the pic, but can not see the object in the display pic on the back. Either the pic is too small, or I didn't get it.

The object hovered in the air for a couple more minutes, then -- gone. Just like that.

An incredible experience.

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

There is no way this could be a balloon, bird, planet, plane, helicopter, blimp, paper, leaves or anything else natural or man-made. It was simply STUCK in the air. No moving parts or sound at all. It would not move until suddenly it was just gone.

Description of Area / Surroundings

This was an urban area and right in the middle of the city. However, due to the cloudy weather I am not sure if a lot of people saw it. Still, I would like to know if anybody did.

Full Description & Details

It was christmas at an apartment complex. My family had gathered there past noon and we were just conversating. Suddenly another family member that was at another apartment called ours and told us that there were some colorful lights in the sky. We looked out and yes, there were. The sky was cloudy partly because it was cold but also because of a great fire that had been burning for a few days now. The fire as well as the planes and helicopters were appearing on the news during those days, but the day that those lights came out nobody said anything on the news. Well, now we went out (we were on the second floor) and looked at them for a while. My father went to grab a camera and took some pictures of these strange colorful stationary lights in the sky. To my recollection, there were five, and among the colors displayed I could see that at least one of them was yellow, another blue or aquamarine, and another between pink and red tones. I do not exactly remember the color of the others, but they were similar, perhaps with an orange tone too. The point is that these lights were there just floating in the air for no apparent reason. They formed a half circle and were a bit spaced out from each other. The interesting thing was that one of them was kind of circling or passing by another of the lights on the far right. This moving light was the only one in motion and was moving extremely slowly and very close to another one. Unfortunately the sky was very cloudy and the smoke from the fire was not helping. Therefore, soon they were covered and hidden among the clouds.

My father took six pictures of the objects. He later told me that he used a distant plane as a reference point to these rather big lights. As usual however, and this is the part where a lot of skeptics do not believe, none of the pictures taken show any of the lights! You can clearly see the little plane in the picture, and yet you cannot see any traces of any lights or of any other objects. It must be noted, however, that I do not claim that these are extraterrestials, I only claim that these are UFOs. And what is a UFO? Well, it is precisely that! It is an Unidentified Flying Object!!! Later...it was briefly said on the news that a plane had fallen near Santa Clarita and in the exact direction (although perhaps not the exact location) of the lights that I saw. Nevertheless, even this plane crash was not thoroughly talked about in the news.

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

Yes, some people might tell me. "Oh, it was simply a plane or a helicopter trying to put out the fire." Well, all I got to say is: if this is a plane or a helicopter, what kind of new colorful devices are these, and why were they so far and high up from the fire? Clearly, these objects were doing nothing but just sitting there, and plus, they were kind of high. I have seen the planes and helicopters that put out that fire and others, and never had I seen something like this, and neither had some of my family members who are older than me.

Witness Background

I am a philosophy student of twenty years of age who will stop at nothing to attain a Phd. I am young, and yet (without sounding narcissistic) I have very complicated theories about what there is and about human nature. I have yet to gain the wisdom of age, but compared to people my age and their idle ideas, I can say that I have far surpassed them.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Well, I am an amateur UFOlogist. I love the subject because I know that despite criticism it is indeed a world wide and an ancient phenomenon. There is nothing illogical with speculating about other races besides the human race. I know a little about the laws of physics and about what the scientists and skeptics have to say, but no matter how much they want to disprove it, their explanations of weather ballons, stars, and meteors even seem childish and absurd when compared to the inmmensity and the characteristics of the UFO phenomenon.

Other Comments

Being a devoted philosopher and seeker of the truth I have a lot of comments to make, and also partly because I want to help people open their minds, use logic, and abide to good reasoning. Having said that, however, I can summ it all up by saying that there is more to this world and this Universe than what we see or understand. When we use good reasoning and logic one discovers the notion that perhaps we as humans are nothing but a speck of dust in this vast and infinite Universe; and once we start thinking like that, but only once we truly start thinking like that, we as humans abandon our egotism and begin looking at the world and the Universe with open eyes and with open minds.

Full Description & Details

10:45 PM, Clear night, 02-09-2006

On my way home from work I saw flashing lights to my right. I slowed down but did not stop. Above a treeless suburban yard I saw an object hovering, flashing red, blue, and green lights from right to left. It was metallic-looking, not shiny but moderately reflective (like pewter), with a rounded stair shape that was more pronounced on the right side. It was about twice as long as it was tall. I think I saw the cycle of red, blue, and green lights four times during the eight second sighting. The lights were on the bottom of the object, toward the right.

The defroster was on in my car, so I couldn't tell if there was sound with this object or not.

I thought my depth perception might have been fooled, and that the object may have been something small suspended in the yard or part of a signal for planes on top of a tower. I have looked at this yard twice since that night (once during the day and once at night) and have seen nothing in the yard, above it, or on the horizon behind it.

I had the feeling I was seeing something about the size of 2 city buses, one on top of the other, far enough away that the image was about 2" high x 3" long.

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

I wondered if my depth perception was off and the object could actually have been something small (12"x24") suspended in the yard. I have not seen anything in the yard since this sighting.

Cylindrical in shape--possibly 50' in diameter--3 to 4 rows of extremely bright spotlights around its perimeter--strong vapor trail underneath it (between it and the ground)--approximately 500-1000 feet above ground level--hovering without noise--gone in minutes.

Size of Object(s)

Possibly 50 feet in diameter....as observed from a distance of about 1000 feet. Height of object obscured by brightness of lights on perimeter.

Description of Area / Surroundings

This is in a large urban area (Seattle, WA), in the NE area of the city. It was above a small park in this area. We are relative close (approx. 2 miles) from Sandpoint Naval Base, but it is not an active or major base.

Full Description & Details

This sighting occured at approximately 5:55 PM [this has been corrected to between 5:25 and 5:30 PM] on February 10, 2006. The object, which appeared to be cylindrical in shape, hovered somewhere between 500 and 1000 feet above the ground, and for at least one minute. The lights around its perimeter (which were very bright, even in the predusk light) obsured its height, and beneath it was a medium density vapor trail. The trail contained no darkness, it was completely white, as though it was only water vapor (hydrogen fuel?). This was reported to me by my spouse, who is as reliable a witness as anyone, and who called me over to where she had been observing. We went to investigate (perhaps 1-2 minutes after sighting) and it was gone, including the vapor.

Asking around today, I have spoken to others who saw this object from a great distance (no one saw it as close as my spouse, who was returning home after work, and since it was directly over a park close to our home). Another person saw it from a distance of about 1.8 miles SE of its location. Another person saw a security/military helicopter hurrying toward this location (from closer to downtown Seattle) about 5 minutes after we saw the object. Therefore, I can only guess that others saw it, reported it (probably called 911), and it was immediately investigated by military aircraft, who have a constant presence in our city in recent years. The person I know who saw the military helicopter hurrying in the direction of the object said that the helicopter was black, was a very modern helicopter, and was moving extremely quickly, as though it was rushing somewhere or pursuing something.

FURTHER INFORMATION FROM THE WITNESS, added on 2/14/2006:

I know that the time of its occurance was not at 5:55 PM, as I had [originally] reported. I talked to my wife about it and we pinpointed it to between 5:25 and 5:30 PM.

I saw a neighbor on Saturday whose house is next to the park (and almost directly under) where the object was located. She and another friend were talking, but she did not see the object, because she was in the house. But her friend, who had been walking her dog with her daughter at Warren Magnuson Park, saw an object in the sky to the west of where she was (which is where we are located).

The object was seen specifically above the Pinehurst Park (that is located on 14th Ave NE between NE 120th and NE 123rd Streets) in N. Seattle.

My wife had just gotten off the bus (after coming home from work) and saw it hovering over the park, at what she estimates as 500-1000' above the ground.

She could not see the top of the object, or how tall it was, because at such a close distance, the bright lights around the perimeter of the object obscured her vision. However, she did say the lights were like a clear glass, not a cloudy or colored glass, similar to spotlights.

Between the ground and the object was a strong vapor (like exhaust) trail...which was white (even at that close distance) and appeared to have no exhaust-like, carbon particles. It looked like water vapor, which incidentally is the product of burning hydrogen.

My wife describes the object as being (from this distance) round (cylindrical), but possibly like saucer-like (again, she could not see the upper part), and appearing to be anywhere from 40-60 feet in diameter. As for color, it seemed to have been silvery-gray, but the lights were the predominant feature for her at such a close distance.

I saw my wife standing on the corner of 14th Ave NE and NE 120th, looking up in the sky to her right (the north) and I wondered what she was looking at, but I was in an area surrounded by trees, so I could see anything. She came down the hill (about a minute) and told me about it (another minute), and then I ran up the hill (possible 20 seconds) and it was gone. I did not look for reminants of a vapor trail, nor did I see any.

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

I know of nothing that can hover at that low height with no noise. I know of no aircraft of that shape, or with parallel rows of such powerful spotlights. I know of no aircraft that would have a vapor trail between itself and the ground, white, with absolutely no signs of carbon exhaust.

Witness Background

My spouse (the witness) is a tax accountant. I am a musician and martial arts instructor, and an author.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I have never really denied nor believed in many of the sightings. My spouse saw this object and she was asking me about all the possible alternative explanations of its appearance and behavior.

Full Description & Details

It was approximitly 9:30 pm I had gone to take a bath when our power went out. I immediatly got out and asked my mother if we had paid the bill because all the other homes around us still had lights. After calling the power company my dad was watching at the window due to the fact that the dogs outside were going crazy. He called me and asked me to look outside, as cold as it was we stood on the porch to watch the thing in the sky; it was oblong like an egg and there were 3 white lights in a triangle pattern, there was a red light off the right side of the middle white light. It hovered over the tree in the front yard if I had to guess about 200yards up over the tree. Upon examining the skys more there were 3 of them but they flew in a trianglular pattern one to the left and the other in front of the first one. My downs syndrome brother came out and shined a flashlight in the sky towards the one over the tree and it immediatly went straight up in the sky ; we could hear a roaring sound sorta like a humming. At that point it went in the same triangular pattern along with the other two. but they never left the area. It was almost 2 hours when the power company came and they were shining there lights on the lines about that time the crfts left but in an upward motion not to eighter side straight up.

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

My memory then has a blank space and the next thing I remember was my mother standing next to me and I was standing as well (prior to that I had been sitting at the desk) she was scolding me and telling me that I 'better finish my home work before my father got home or I would be in trouble'. Recently I went to the Dentist and had my first Orbital skull X ray. Interestingly enough and at the same time quite disconcerting to say yhe least I was informed by the Dentist that I have inside my scull (deep within the sinus cavity) what he termed "a foregin metal object". Since then my recolection of the childhood event has become more and more vivid. This is the truth and I place my word upon it .

When we first observed it, it was like a large star, just a white light. But it was moving in a straight line toward us and had no flashing lights or other conventional aircraft lighting. As it came closer we could see it was circular, or saucer-shaped, with three large lighted segments underneath, blue, yellow and red. It was surrounded by a thin, white haze. It was a clear night and we could plainly see it, but we couldn't see the color of the disk itself.

Size of Object(s)

Slightly over 100 feet in diameter.

At first it was several miles away. Before it vanished it was 200-300 feet in altitude. Very close.

Description of Area / Surroundings

It was a rural setting. The nearest military base is Tinker Field, about 25 miles away.

Full Description & Details

My brother and I were riding a motorcycle near the Rambling Hills addition north of the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. We spotted the object at a great distance to the north, and it approached us rapidly. Even far away it was obviously not a conventional aircraft. We started back to our home north of Danforth Road and Western Avenue with the object pursuing us. When we arrived at the house it slowly drew closer. The object was circular (saucer-shaped) and surrounded by a sort of haze. It had three pie-shaped lighted segments underneath, blue, yellow and red. The colored segments were unlike anything I had seen, resembling the light emitting diodes of today. The object was roughly two and a half times the size of the largest private aircraft. It descended to within 200 or 300 feet of us and made no sound. It did not fly away, it simply vanished. It was obvious to us that we were being observed, and at that time the area had a low population and we encountered no other road traffic.

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

Not at all! It was obviously a manufactured object, and just as obviously utilized technology and an understanding of physics unattained by man even now.

Witness Background

I was in junior high school when this happened (on summer break). Graduated Edmond High School May, 1972. Graduated University of Oklahoma May, 1976, bachelor of arts in journalism.

Before the sighting I understood it was possible for advanced, intelligent beings to exist and to travel in space. I was 14 when it happened--I'm 52 now. Since then I've known UFOs are real, but haven't made a subsequent observation like that.

My brother and I discussed our experience a couple times since then, the last time in recent years, and he, like I, remember this event as if it had happened yesterday. My brother passed away in December, 2004.
