Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Perfectly round object. Appeared flat on the bottom. Flashing different colored lights which were changing constantly. Lights appeared to be rotating. Or maybe the UFO itself was rotating. It was hard to tell which was rotating.

Size of Object(s)

I do not know or could imagine the size of the object since I have never seen one before, but it was the size of 1/2 inche by 1/2 inch round object, but we could clearly make out the lights. So maybe it was a small UFO flying somewhat low to the ground.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Rural area, ranching land, cattle ranch depot, railroad tracks parallel with US Hwy 287 for a while

Full Description & Details

I was traveling with my uncle and his family from New Mexico back to Dallas. We were traveling south on US Hwy 287. We had just past a ranching depot somewhere around Clarendon, Texas which we knew because of the overpowering stench of cattle feces. We were traveling in my uncle's dually truck. Everyone was falling asleep and leaning on each other, so my cousin and I asked his dad if we could lie in the truck bed. He agreed and he pulled over so we could get out and create a makeshift bed in the truck's cargo area. My cousin and I were lying on our backs looking up at the sky. We were commenting on the clearness of the sky and multitudes of stars, and all of a sudden a rotating round flying object with small lights along the edges appeared on one side of the sky. We watched it travel slowly southwestbound. It was moving way to slow for an aircraft. And the sky was clear with a near full moon so we could see it in plainview that it could not be a part of an aircraft. The lights around the edges were colored at different times. They would change from red to green, then to blue, then to dark yellow, then the pattern would begin all over again constantly. My cousin and I both exclaimed at the first time, "Did you see THAT?!" We lied there and stared at it until we couldn't see it anymore. It was the very first time I had ever seen a UFO. I have to admit, I was a big skeptic about UFOs, aliens, and the like. But that experience has made me believe that we are not the only species of intelligent life forms here on earth. I only wonder why our government has to hide facts. People like you and me witness this kind of thing it seems like all the time now. Hopefully my sighting will help others decide for themselves whether or not this phenomenon exists. I believe it.

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

No, I do not think my sighting could be explained by any conventional man-made or natural object.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Before my sighting of a UFO, I was a HUGE skeptic. I even made fun of people who claimed to have seen a UFO. I thought it was a brain-fart of the human imagination. Boy was I WRONG! I am a believer now. And now I read the stories of others' accounts of UFO experience with great interest and understanding.

Thank you for taking the time to read my sighting. It is of strange comfort to know that there are others like me out there looking for an answer.

Full Description & Details

I was twenty-one just before Thanksgiving 1983. Was at an old farmhouse in Walkill NY, went out with my Dad at night to look for deer in the field. We had a flashlight taped to the barrell of a .22 rifle. Noticed lights moving among the stars as we went out to the field. After spending some time in the field we walked back to the farmhouse and saw the lights again so I asked my Dad what it was. We watched the lights follow the Hudson river North then turn West, then turn South and come right at us. The ship had 5 lights (guessing) in a triangle shape. The ship was completely silent as it made it's approach to land in our swamp. My Dad said we were walking out there to meet it. I told him I was going to get my 12 gauge. He then said the words he would regret the rest of his life. "Signal it it's safe to come in". I pointed the .22 at the ship (all I could see were the lights) and turned the flashlight on and off. The ship stopped 50 - 100 feet above the ground, and the lights that were pointing down on the ground pivoted up toward us. We were standing in a different kind of illumination. Then the ship reversed direction and went straight up in total silence. After getting 200 (?) ft altitude we watched the ship take off out of sight travelling at a speed impossible for human technology and in total silence. Thank you.

Was a round object, brilliantly lit, orange/red colored light. It lit up the darkness like daylight around the destroyer and area between it and our ship. We were approximately 100 yards behind them. The object was as large as the destoyer so it must have been about 250' in diameter.

One evening (maybe 10 or 11 pm) in 1974 while on a WestPac Cruise in the US Navy: Me and two friends were on the bow of our USS Naval ship (AE 26) checking out the millions of stars and the ships with us. There was a Destoyer in front as well as two Destroyer escorts on each side of us. We were looking at the glowing algea coming off the prop of the destoyer in front of us when the water on the starboard side of the destoyer was turned a brilliant orange and in the blink of an eye there was a huge orange/reddish ball of light that came out of the water (round and big as the destoyer), went over the destoyer and back into the water on the (left) port side of it. We just were looking at each other for a few seconds with mouths gaping and silence. Then I asked did you see that? Of course they did and to this day I think about it every time I hear a UFO story. We three buddies did not talk about it much after that for fear we would be drug tested, but I know that all on the bridge had to see the same thing, and same on the destoyer cause it lit it up like daylight when it went over it. Well thats my big UFO experience. All I can say is: It sure wasnt nothing from this earth.

Full Description & Details

March 17, 1977 I was in the front yard watering the lawn.It was late evening, 6-7pm. The sun had gone down, but it was not dark . What I saw next was awesome. As I looked east, there, right before my eyes, were what appeared to be 2 UFOs. One was quite large the other was about 1/3 size. They were moving very slowly, spinning slowly, toward the north. What was weirder is that there was no noise-no sound. I dropped the hose and ran inside the house very excitedly asking for mom and dad to come outside quickly. My brother, who was studying, also came out. My girlfriend did not (because I didn't call her).

Much to everyone's amazement, the UFOs were still in sight. What we can best describe is that the shape was like a spinning top (sort of) there were lighted windows all around the center (horizonally), and blinking lights at the top and bottom. Like I said "no noise" I could see vehicles driving east on the 134 freeway and the UFOs were passing over the top of them. (I have always wondered why no other reports have surfaced.)

We were puzzled. What did we just see??? In July 2005 my dad had his 75th birthday party and we brought up the "sighting" again. My dad will say " I don't know how to comment on it, because I don't know what it was I saw" My mom and brother and I will talk about it, but as my dad says "what did we see?"

Has anyone else seen what we saw that night? Many years have gone by but I still can picture what I saw that evening.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

The 16 "saucers" were round and silver in color. The time was about 8:30 am with a clear, blue sky.

Size of Object(s)

Since they were so high in the sky, but also so visible, I would guess that if they were on the earth they would have been as large as a steamship.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

Hard to say, but, judging by my knowledge of aircraft, at least 30,000 to 50,000 feet in the air.

Description of Area / Surroundings

In the northwest area of the City of Milwaukee. I was a school crossing guard regulating kids going to school in teh morning a block away from my corner.

Full Description & Details

The 16 silver disks were very high up in teh sky appearing almost tiny. They were flying east to west in an unwavering patern equally spaced apart and traveling very fast. All of a sudden they stoped stock still in the sky and then darted as a unit diagonally back and downward. They stopped again, and then proceeded to fly straight upward. They stopped again and then flew back directly east to west. They stopped one more time, and then instantly flew straight up and out of sight within seconds!

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

There is no way it was anything man-made or natural. The Cop was in awe, probably more so than us kids as we just accepted such a phenomenon, whereas the adults were in shock. I said, "Did you see what I think I saw?" And the Cop said, "Yes!"

Witness Background

Navy Reserve Commander with 42 years of military service before retiring 4 years ago at age 60. Also, in civilian life, a business executive. I should also add that in 1964, while serving in the Milwaukee Air Force Reserve's Intelligence Department as an Airman 1st Class, I used to field calls from civilians calling to report UFO sightings. These people were very agitated, but since we didn't have any method for following up, I would just tell them the little white lie that we were launching weather balloons to clam them down.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I was only 12, so had no previous knowledge/awareness of UFOs other than in comic books. The experience made me a believer! So, that when I saw another one 45 years later I wasn't as shocked. (see next report)

Other Comments

About 6 or 8 years ago (1999) I was driving home in teh suburban community of Greendale, Wisconsin, which lies oh the Milwaukee airport's glide path, when I saw a huge cigar-shaped object hovering just about tree-top height, It was covered in multi-colored lights. At first I assumed it was an aircraft heading for the airport, but no, because it was standing stock still. I pulled to the side of the raod and just stared at it assuming it would soon fly away. I sat there in my car for a good 5 minutes when a car coming from the opposite direction on Southway Street also stopped and stared. I called to the lady and asked if she was seeing the UFO, too. She said, "YES!" I waited so long, I finally decided to drive the 2 b;ocks home and get my camera. But, by the time I retirned it was gone,a nd so was the lady in the other car.

These things weren't close at all. No details seen. Appeared EXTREMELY high in the atomsphere and looked exactly like stars. They were white and the exact size of stars.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Rural on a trail in a subdivision called Copper Creek. I believe the association is on the internet. This is complete desert environment on a little trail through the middle of our subdivision that people walk thier dogs on in the day. There are Cholla bushes and Saguaro and Barrel cactus everywhere. There is a military base way south in southern Tucson called Fort Monthon Air Force Base, which I severley doubt had anything to do with this, since I was looking north towards Phoenix. And this was really high up in the atomsphere, if not in space. I was looking up around a bush, and these things were way above the houses in the distance. I've lived there for about 2 and a half years and this was way out of place.

Full Description & Details

About 9 at night my friend and I were walking on a trail through a subdivsion to his house. I stopped in a wash to well, to use the bathroom. This sounds strange yeah, but I looked up and was watching the stars. The stars are quite bright and the night dark for the lack of city lights around Oro Valley. They were beautiful and my friend Dustin was like hurry up man. Anyway these 2 stars about 70 degrees up in the sky directly north, the direction i was facing started moving. Now I've been to Mexico a lot of times and seen "shooting stars" or comets and they are REALLY fast burning up quickly in the atomsphere. These were NOT planes or helicopters or anything else I could think of. There are no military bases in the area that I know of except Fort Monthon Air Force base in southern Tucson. These 2 "star" looking entities just moved with no sound for about 6 seconds. At first I purposely blink and turn my head away thinking I was seeing stuff. I looked away for only a second since I did not know how long this would last. As soon as I saw them I uttered "Dustin..." he was like I see it. He then said they were going to fade out and I should watch. Later apparently he said he had seen them 2 years ago too. I was like were BOTH seeing this which I was glad because they were to fade out in less than 6 seconds. These stars were still, and then started moving as if they had been up there for years and just started moving. They seem to be mocking me or something. Whatever it was one of them travelled quickly "up into the sky" and then faded out real fast. The other one when through the space the other just had been and travelled east making a 90 degree "angle" in the sky. This second "star" faded out towards the right to the east much more slowly as if traveling off into space at GREAT speeds, or either entering the atomsphere whatever it was. I wear contacts and have 20/20 vision. I consider myself a sensitive intelligent human being. I'am a college student and have worked at Disneyland in California. Later walking on towards his house I was watching actual planes flying through the sky nearer to the horizon as a comparsion. There was none. That was nothing conventional that I know of, and I still don't know what it was. If there had been one of these I would have dismissed it. Yet there were TWO and there seemed to be cooperation since they flew through each others flight paths exactly. Very creepy and interesting. Just thought you should know, and have absoulutly no reason to write all of this for nothing. Thank You.

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

Satellites MAYBE MAYBE MAYBE. But it's so impossible i highly doubt it. If they were satellites they wouldn't have faded out the way they did. Also there were two of them and they slightly curved through the sky and criss-crossed paths making a 90 degree X in the sky. There was no joke almost a form of cooperation or control that I got a strange vibe from.

Witness Background

I recently quit my job at Disneyland in California to return home to help my Dad take care of my extremely ill mother. I also am in my 2nd semester of community college. I've worked at Home Depot and Carls Jr. before. Yet am currently looking for a job, I'am close to getting a good job at a nearby hospital. This will help me get through college and just live my life. Yet this event was really really weird. Although I'am young I believe that should not discredit me at all. I have extremely good eye sight with my contacts in (And they were IN). I saw this and just thought you guys should know.

I know a little bit about the stuff from when I was a kid and in movies and stuff. Never read any books or anything, and have seen a couple shows on TV. I thought it would be cool to see one, but never would. It was very strange and surreal.

I would appreciate an email response to get your opinions and to know if anyone saw anything as well in the area that evening. I doubt though anyone did since the event was quite quick. Once again though this was no planet, no star, NOT a comet or falling asteriod. Nothing I can explain. Thanks.

I have heard of cigar shaped UFO sightings but had always thought of a cylinder shape, on the 23rd of December I saw a craft, or whatever, that was pointed at one end bulged slightly in the middle came to a blunt end that had a bright steady light, The object was grey and had shapes in the outer hull rather like gothic doorways,Icould see this clearly.I dont know what made me look up as light aircraft use local airports and often pass over at that time of night, I think it was the sound but I am not clear on this. The strange thing about all this is that I did not get excited at the time and it was a full 15mins before I reacted, my state of mind during the sighting and imidiately afterwards was unuseley calm.

Craft was a thick saucer, and was a dark color. I was not able to see any detail other than a vague outline and the lights. There was two very bright "headlights" on the front, with four lights on the bottom that were about fifty feet apart (arrayed as if on the ends of a cross) There was a blinking red strobe on top.

Size of Object(s)

The craft was large, our house was on a couple of acres, which it almost covered as it flew overhead. It was approx. one hundred feet across and 30 to 50 feet thick.

Description of Area / Surroundings

We lived in a very rural area that was heavily forested and sparsely populated. The closest military base was about sixty miles away, and the nearest commercial airport was about forty miles away.

Full Description & Details

On the night of April 11, 1994, I had a close encounter with an UFO. I was fourteen at the time. It happened at nine o'clock in the evening. My family had been watching televison, and as the show we were watching had just finished, the family was scattered around the house, doing our thing. I had stepped out on our front porch to relieve myself (yes, we lived deep in the woods in a very rural area so this was alright!) when I was astonished to see what appeared to be automobile headlights suspended directly over the trees about about 75 yards in front of me.

My brain was in shock, and I actually thought there was a car in the sky for a couple of seconds. I shook off my momentary paralysis when I realized there was something very weird going on. I opened the house door and started yelling hysterically for my dad (who was standing a few feet away in the kitchen eating a can of Vienna sausages) to come outside. He heard the urgency in my voice and ran outside to the porch. My mother followed a few seconds afterwards.

As my parents stood on the porch gawking at the object, I ran out in the yard to be directly underneath the craft as it flew overhead. My parents freaked out, as by this point they realized that it was an UFO and they thought I would be zapped or something. I was actually at a point in my teenage angst-filled life that I actually wanted to be abducted....which is funny now that I look back on it!

I stood in the yard and looked up into the craft as it flew directly overhead at a height of no more than 150 feet. It was going at a very slow speed, about as fast as a human can run. There was no downdraft or heat felt at all. The craft made very little sound, all I could hear was a very faint hum, like the way an energy field would sound. There were four lights on the bottom that were a creamy yellow-orange color. Each light was about ten feet across and about fifty feet apart.

It was still not clear at this point what the craft looked like, as the moon was just coming up from behind the ridge behind my house, but I got the sense that the craft was circular shaped as it went overhead. As we watched, the craft passed over our house and cruised over the ridge behind, barely skimming over the treetops. The rising moon provided a light to see the outline of the craft, and indeed it was a thick saucer with a blinking red strobe on top...I'd say that it looked to be about 30 to 50 feet thick, and about one hundred feet across.

My father and I went and search for the craft in his pickup, but without sucess. The next day at school, a number of people I knew had witnessed the craft. A girl I knew and her older sister chased the craft in their car, and they said at one point it stopped and shot straight up at incredible speed and was seen no more. I even knew some rednecks who shot at the craft, doing no perceivable damage.....some people are nuts!

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

Absolutely not a natural object. If this craft was man-made, then we've got some amazing technology in development. This craft was only traveling at about 15 to 20 miles per hour (no aircraft can go that slow without stalling) and made almost no noise. There was also no downdraft of any kind. This thing was so quiet, if I hadn't been outside, I would have never known it was there.

Witness Background

I am twenty seven years of age, and am still trying to complete college. I have traveled a lot, and have only recently been in one place for more than a year or two.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I have always been very interested in the paranormal and UFO's then as well as now. Both of my parents and myself were very much into aliens and science fiction, so the experience was especially enriching. It was the first and only experience of this type I have ever had, but one that I will never get over. I have been very into the UFO phenomenon ever since.

Other Comments

This experience really changed my perspective on life. Until ths point, I had always been a "believer" but afterwards, I couldn't stop talking and thinking about it. I am submitting this report hoping that someone else saw what I saw, and can be educated by my own sighting.

As a postscript, two weeks after this sighting, my mother and sister (who had been taking a bath as the craft flew overhead) witnessed a classic triangle UFO as they were coming back from a late school basketball game. It allegedly saw them and settled into a nearby river in order to avoid further detection...but that's another story.

....when it came to a stop about 20-30 feet directly over me. I base the height at that because there's a 50-70ft pine tree in my yard. It was about half way down the tree. All I saw was the bottom of this thing. Which was round. The easiest way I can describe it, is that it looked like an eggo waffle with pulsing red, orange, and yellow lights that faded into each other in the "squares." I can also estimate that it was about 50 feet wide. It was almost completely silent, except for a very faint hum. ....This time there were atleast four Ufos. 3 of them looked like small white balls of light. The other one looked like a giant triangle with an outline in red lights. We could not tell if it had structure because of the night sky. The white "orbs" dropped glowing stuff from them which appeared to be over the neighbourhood south of mine. The orbs would disappear and reappear in a different location. The triangle appeared to be leading the orbs in a northerly direction towards Somerville, NJ. The orbs were close together with a large space between the triangle. My two friends my brother and I veiwed these things for about 20 minutes, as they moved slowly north and out of sight.

The area is more suburban. The first sighting was between my house and my neighbors, which was about 1500ft. The second was at a friends house down the street, where we moved into the field to view them. These ones also apeared to be over the westren edge of Manville heading towards Somerville. There is an abandoned millitary base of somekind, and a Dept. of Defense chemicals stockpile to the south. I have seen other millitary entering the woods on many different occasions all over town. In the mountain to the southwest I have seen them enter gates and roads that appear to go nowhere. The gates have no tresspasing signs that says U.S. govt. property, with what appears to be a thumb scan for acsses

Full Description & Details

The first one I saw was when I was in the 4th grade. I was walking home from a friends house when I noticed a flashing light in the sky. When I looked up I froze in fear when it came to a stop about 20-30 feet directly over me. I base the height at that because there's a 50-70ft pine tree in my yard. It was about half way down the tree. All I saw was the bottom of this thing. Which was round. The easiest way I can describe it, is that it looked like an eggo waffle with pulsing red, orange, and yellow lights that faded into each other in the "squares." I can also estimate that it was about 50 feet wide. It was almost completely silent, except for a very faint hum. At some point a ran as fast as I could to the door of my house, which was only a few yards away. Right before I got inside I took one more look, to see it go straight up and disappear at an amazingly fast speed without a sound. I will never forget that night. Also because of it I started to sleep with the lights on untill I was 14.

The next incident took place a few years later and was witnessed by people I was with along with people on the otherside of the town and happened right after the sun went down. This time there were atleast four Ufos. 3 of them looked like small white balls of light. The other one looked like a giant triangle with an outline in red lights. We could not tell if it had structure because of the night sky. The white "orbs" dropped glowing stuff from them which appeared to be over the neighbourhood south of mine. The orbs would disappear and reappear in a different location. The triangle appeared to be leading the orbs in a northerly direction towards Somerville, NJ. The orbs were close together with a large space between the triangle. My two friends my brother and I veiwed these things for about 20 minutes, as they moved slowly north and out of sight. After walking home from the field where we went to get a closer look, we saw two helicopters that appeared to be heading in the same direction, and heading after them.

I saw the orbs twice more all within a few years of each other.

On some mornings on the bus to school other kids talked about things they have seen, which mirrors what me and my friends saw.

We always wondered if they were military because we also have seen strange looking jets during the morning hours. I have never herd of or seen them after.

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

I've seen the planets, which are not 20' above the ground and move as fast as these did. Also comets aren't stationary and do not go straight up from the ground. I've seen the birds above Atlantic city glowing in the night skies from the lights below. I've been to many air shows and have never heard somthing that large make know noise while in flight. Satellites don't hover 20' off the ground. Whether ballons don't disappear than reappear in a different location.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

My first sighting was when I was young. Before the incident, the only aliens I ever heard about were Alf and Superman. A few days after the first sighting I saw my first tv show about Ufos. It was unsolved mysteries. When they showed a dramatization of an abduction and vidoe of UFOs. I was never abducted to my knowlege however the thought of waking up to big eyed skinny gray people, was truly frieghtening. I slept with the light on untill I was 14. Over time I gradually accepted that life could exsist elsewhere. I am no longer frieghtened by them, however if I ever saw them face to face I would probably die from fear. I figure we go to other planets and drop satellights and test equipment before going there, so why wouldn't another being do the same. As the case for abductions, we would do the same. If we found an animal on Mars, we would disect it untill there was nothing left of it. Atleast they let us go.

Full Description & Details

This sighting occurred early in an October evening in 1967. At the time, I lived in a rural area in southwestern Pennsylvania. On the evening in question, I was going out of the front door of my residence which opened almost due north. Having passed through the doorway, I noticed a glowing object coming toward me out of the north at a distance of about 1 mile. The object moved slowly towards me. At a certain point, it apparently made a 90◦ turn and began moving parallel or horizontally with respect to my position in an easterly direction. The object moved slowly and may have stopped moving. I had sufficient time to go back in the house and retrieve a set of binoculars (I do not recall their optical power). I viewed the object through these binoculars again at a distance of about 1 mile. In magnification, the object appeared to be an elongated, cigar shape. The object’s glow at a distance became a surface of tiny “pin pricks” of light in a yellow-green hue in magnification. These “pin pricks” of light were fewer at the edges or margins of the object and more concentrated or numerous towards the waist or center line of the object and appeared to “twinkle” all over the object. After watching in the binoculars for 15-30 seconds, the reversed its course and moved slowly away on the course on which it had appeared—it moved westerly parallel to my position before turning 90◦ and moving out of sight to the north.

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

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I have been fascinated by the UFO phenomenon since my childhood. This was my first of 2 sightings. To me, the strangest part of the phenomenon is the lack of any physical evidence despite the apparent world-wide prevalence of sightings. Until there exists hard, physical evidence I believe this may be a psychological phenomenon.
