Date:

Location:

Labelle, Florida, United States

Summary:

Date Reported:

1/10/2006 11:52:59 AM

Sighting Time: 

2:00 AM

Day/Night: 

Nighttime

No. of Witnesses: 

3

Duration: 

2 to 3 minutes

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Round bright light

Size of Object(s)

3 " across at a distance of 4 miles

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

500 feet off of the ground

Description of Area / Surroundings

Rural farm land but 4 miles from small town with 5,000 population

Full Description & Details

It was around 2:00 AM in the morning. I was a County road patrol officer, standing on a paved road talking to a Florida Wildlife officer. We were in the country 4 miles south of the town. Over his shoulder I saw a small glowing light about the size of a grapefruit and it was yellow in color. It was moving slow from the west towards the east at a low level. We watched it move for about a minute or two when it all of a sudden stopped. Its size immediately grew to the size of a basketball and became white in color as it grew. Then in an instant it shrunk back down to the size of a baseball. No noise was coming from the object. It then shot straight up into the sky. It was a clear night and I grabbed my binoculars

off the dashboard. It took a few seconds to find it in the sky but I had a great binocular view

of it racing up into the sky at a supersonic speed. I kept watching it till it literally was the size of a bright pin head. From the time it was moving slow till it changed sizes and sped away took less than 2 to 3 minutes. I spoke with a deputy a few days later who worked part time at a state Corrections facility on the north side of the town about 5 miles and he watched the same occurrence from his location. From this we determined it was no more than 4 or

5 miles from each of us placing it over the town of laBelle and the Caloosahatchee River that runs eass and west through the town of LaBelle.

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

No possible way because of the lack of sound, brightness of light that changed rapidly and then super sonic rate of speed as it sped into space.

Witness Background

Retired from law enforcement after 21 years. Currently employed as a manger of security services for a major metropolitan government in Atlanta, Ga.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Till that sighting I believed that UFO's were possible. After witnessing what I observed, I now know that it had to be a UFO. Since then I have been interested in other persons sightings.

Other Comments

The speed of its departure was incredibly fast, with no sound.

Fayetteville, North Carolina, United States

Summary:

This sighting occurred Monday evening between 8pm and 8:30pm. The object was a perfect triangle with one light at each angle. It was just hovering, made a loud noise like a blimp. It rotated and the three lights were on a field by my vehicle, as it turned to the side the moonlight reflected so that you could see it was a perfect triangle.

Date Reported:

Sighting Time: 

Between 8pm-8:30pm

Day/Night: 

Nighttime

No. of Witnesses: 

2

Duration: 

Just a few minutes

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

The object like I previously stated was a perfect triangle. While it was hovering, it shifted so that the three lights on each angle were directed in my direction. Again, as this shift took place, it reflected the moonlight, which made the object's shape very clear. In addition, it looked metalic and the noise it made is difficult to describe. I think it sounded like a blimp. It definitely did not sound like an airplane or helicopter.

Size of Object(s)

The object was not big, it was difficult to judge, like a small airplane in size.

Description of Area / Surroundings

The Eastover area is semi-rural. It is in Cumberland County. Fort Bragg and Pope AFB are nearby. I-95 runs through the Eastover Community. The sighting took place about 5-8 miles east of Fayetteville NC.

Full Description & Details

Again, this occurred outside of Fayetteville North Carolina in the Eastover Township of Cumberland County. Based on the location, the object would have been in view from I-95. I have not heard of any other reports, but a friend was in the vehicle with me. The sighting took place along Baywood Road, almost directly across from the Baywood Golf Course. There were no clouds in the sky, and the moonlight lit everything clearly. Not a lot of lighting in the area due to the semi-rural location. More area lights in yards than anything else.

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

There is not a natural object that I can think of. Unless planes are triangular in shape, I would say no, that there is not a conventional man-made object to describe this object.

Witness Background

I am a Customer Service Coordinator. I have three college degrees, B.S. in Business Administration, A.S. in Information Systems, and an A.S. in Internet Technologies

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I have seen two UFO's previously, when I was a child, and then when I was in my early 20's.

Location:

Twenty-nine Palms, California, United States

Summary:

Object was shaped like an arrowhead. Darkly colored with 3 white lights on the bottom of the object.

Date Reported:

1/10/2006 10:52:34 AM

Sighting Time: 

1930-2000hrs

Day/Night: 

Dusk/Evening

No. of Witnesses: 

1

Duration: 

5-10 minutes

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

The object was dark in color with lights at each point. One light at the front and two at the rear, one on each side of the tail. The lights at the bottom of the object were clearly visible but not so bright as to be blinding. When the object flew of the blue lights at the rear of the object were intense and painful to look at but gone in moments.

Size of Object(s)

I would estimate the body of the obect to be about 50-60 ft long, with the tail extending an additional 15 feet. Then the distance between the wingtips(?) was about 10 to 12 feet. That's my best guess.

Description of Area / Surroundings

The area was desert. Little to no buildings near me, or anything I could clearly see with the naked eye. I was probably 12-16 miles from the military base.

Full Description & Details

Object was shaped like an arrowhead. Darkly colored with 3 white lights on the bottom of the object.

It was evening with sun behind the mountains and getting dark. I was walking from the MCAGCC in Twenty-nine Palms where I was stationed to Yucca Valley. 56 miles through the desert at night, it was about 60 or so degrees and I had been walking about 3 hours. I felt fine, no signs of fatigue or dehydration. I started to feel a throbbing sensation in my head that then spread through my entire body. A pain began to develop in my jaw. My first thought was that I was way to young and healthy to be having a heart attack. Then I heard a low humming sound. I began looking around and behind me and in the air was this object.

The object was arrowhead shaped and dark with white circular lights at the bottom of the craft. The craft hovered there for several minutes not moving and with no changes in appearance or activity. I watched the object for several minutes, then with a sudden surge of pressure and an intensifying of the pain in my jaw the object moved up and away from me with great speed until I lost sight of it. When the object moved away, two blue lights appeared on either side if the tail.

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

The military base was the Marine Corps Air, Ground Combat Center in Twenty-nine Palms. It could have been some type of experimental aircraft, but I doubt it. Also I walked from base to Yucca Valley frequently and only encountered this objevt once.

Witness Background

I am 34 years old and live in Ladera Ranch, California. I had an experience at the age of 12, that I reported here previously. This report is the second such event in my life and the last I have witnessed thus far. At the time of this event I was a Corpsman serving with a Marine Recon Unit.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I have an open mind and am willing to accept that there exist things I don't understand. I did not actively research UFOs prior to this event but have read articles and watched many TV shows based on their existence since.

Other Comments

I never reported this event as I was active duty and assumed that no one would take the report seriously and it might interefe with my advancement. I had no proof, no photos or any other witnesses.

Location:

Summary:

I was in junior high but maybe senior high school and was caddying for a golfer when I saw it rather high on a clear day as I remember it so date could have been as early as 1946 and as late as 1949 0r even 1950.

Date Reported:

Sighting Time: 

daytime?

Day/Night: 

Daytime

No. of Witnesses: 

just me

Duration: 

minute or so

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

No lights. No noise. No vapor trail. Shape and color as mentioned above. If I held a quarter above my head that would give you approximate distance. So it was high, but not so high that I could see the definate rotation. Do not recall any markings on it. Just silver in color.

Size of Object(s)

I imagine my hand would have covered it if I held it up.Maybe and inch or two acrossfrom my position. Couldn`t guess at size as don`t know how high it was. Probably could have covered it with my hand if I raised my arm. Hard to tell actual size as was quite high but if I had to guess, maybe 30 feet or more wide? Again would have looked maybe about the size of a quarter if I held it at arms length.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

See above. Not nearly as high as a jet today.

Description of Area / Surroundings

golf course on edge of town. Crookston is about 8000 people.

Full Description & Details

We were walking south as was the direction of the saucer. It was silver in color and rotating. The shape I saw was like that of a quarter sitting on a table. I didn`t know the person I was caddying for and was too afraid to tell him to look as worried he wouldn`t see it and become angry at me for caddys were to be quiet and not bother golfer but just carry his clubs etc. I also would have been embarassed if he didn`t see it. Maybe there were a few clouds, I just can`t remember.

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

Don`t even know if I had heard of flying saucers at that time but it definately was not a "natural" object nor an airplane,satellite, blimb or balloon etc. It was a flying silver rotating disc.

Witness Background

College degree. Accountant and insurance agent. Retired.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Don`t remember anything about UFO`s before but have been following events on news and tv etc ever since. Just would like to know what it was.

Beach

Full Description & Details

Me and my partner were at the beach, some day in November when I noticed heaps of what looked like cobwebs floating in the sky. I watch it for about 10mins until curiosity got the better of me. I waited until one flew by close enough to grab. I jumped up and grapped some of it in order to have a closer look. It was not sticky like cobwebs and the longer I held it the more it dissolved away.

We were facing NE (out to sea) with a light onshore breeze. The day was clear and about 25 degC no clouds. About 10-11am.

There was heaps of this stuff every where but no one seemed to really be fussed about it. I thought that it may be from a tree or something??

I didnt think much about it until recently when I came across information that speculated it was from a UFO..?? So I am here submiting my report hoping it will help me understand this substance further. I have read many other accounts here in Australia that mention this substance during the time of a UFO sighting. In hindsight I wish i had known what it was as I may have also seen a craft or something as well...???

Full Description & Details

UFO sighting

Date : 25 december 2005

Time : approx. 18.48 GMT

Place : Near Kaya, Burkina Faso, GPS reading 13°17’50” N 0°38’52” W

Sighted by 3 adults, camping in the wild.

Description :

3 (or 4 ?) bright orange lights (no blinking) that seemed to be regularly spaced (equilateral triangle ?) moved rather low over the eastern horizon in a north-south direction along a slightly descending trajectory. The lights themselves left no individual trails. However, the group of lights left a long, faintly visible, silvery trail behind. No sound was heard.

The height of the object over the horizon was estimated at approx. 20°, it covered an estimated 45° horizontally in about 30 seconds.

The next day, we spoke with people in Dori (about 50 km east of where our sighting was done), who confirmed exactly what we had seen. They had ALSO sighted the object in the eastern sky, thus we have seen a phenomenon that was at a distance of MORE than 50 km ! (the very eastern part of Burkina Faso or Niger). This would account for a HUGE object, or several objects moving at the same speed.

Several days later, we met two Canadians working for a gold mine near Yalgo (same region). They were also very excited by their sighting. They and several employees had seen the same phenomenon : sole difference : they claimed to have seen many more lights (about 20).

Since I am not a believer in little green men in flying saucers, I am looking for a rational explanation. My tentative one : sveral objects moving at the same speed. Was there a natural phenomenon at that time (meteorite, comet...) ? Or did a large satellite or space station disintegrate in the upper atmosphere at that moment ?

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

my only explanation would be a disintegrating satellite

Summary:

Huge "V" or Chevron shaped craft with no fuselage and 5 white lights underneath seen moving extremely slowly and without so much as a sound!

Sighting Time:

Day/Night: 

Nighttime

No. of Witnesses:

Duration: 

Approx. 2 minutes

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

It was a huge black chevron shaped craft, it had five white lights underneath, the lights were arranged one at the front or apex of the chevron and then two equally spaced down each wing. Nothing more than this could be discerned.

Size of Object(s)

Relative size i would say was at least 12 inches.Actual size I would estimate to be about 300 to 500 ft in wingspan (OR MORE) the wing/body was approximately 30 to 50ft but the height i could not discern.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

Height off the ground looked to be about 300 ft. and it was no more than 1/4 mile away at the most.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Kent School lies in a valley with Mt. Algo on the southern border and Skaticoche/Skiff Mountain to the North. The Housatanic River runs next to the campus in is the Eastern border of the campus. Kent is a fairly small town in a rural area about 2 hours from New York City. I am unaware of any Military Bases or Power plants in the area.

Full Description & Details

I was a senior in High School attending a boarding school in Kent Connecticut at the time of the sighting.

My roomate (P.V. Burch) and I were coming up from the ice hockey rink to head back to our dormitory. It was approximately 10pm in evening. As we arrived back on the main campus area and started heading for the dorm we noticed a HUGE object to our South moving extreemly slowly from East to West above the Dining Hall. It was shaped like a "V" or chevron/boomerang shape. It had 5 bright white lights underneath it which were equidistant from eachother. The object looked to be only a couple of hundred feet off the ground and was heading on a course that would take it behind Mt. Algo. The object made NO NOISE whatsoever and was larger than any aircraft I have ever seen (at least 3 times the wingspan of a B-52 but with no fuselage). The sighting lasted for about 2 minutes at which point the object had passed behind the mountain and out of our view.

The object was seen by us and also by another student (H. Harden) and a teacher who's name I cannot recall. All 4 of use remarked on how odd it was, especially that it seemed very near, moved like a snail and made absolutely no sound at all!

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

It could have been an experimental military aircraft, but I gurantee you that the object we saw moved so slowly that it could not have stayed airborne using conventional propoulsion as it was just moving too slowly to have created enough lift....it moved more like the speed you would see a blimp cruising at.

Witness Background

I am an executive with a well known Financial Management Consultancy. I hold the position of Sales Director for Europe, Middle East and Africa. I hold a B.S. in Political Science and History with an Economics Minor. I have for the past 15 years been working in Technology and Finance. I have worked all over the world with some of the most well known firms...mostly Fortune 1000. It is important to mention that I served in the Royal Norwegian Navy as a Special Forces platoon commander from 1990 to 1992 and although this took place after the sighting, the training I received in intelligence gathering included being able to quickly identify enemy as well as friendly aircraft. In all my training courses I was never shown any aircraft that looked remotely like what we saw that night.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I was open to the idea before the sighting as in my opinion we would have to be truly stupid to think we are alone in the universe or even our neck of the galaxy for that matter. I certainly thought what I saw was unusual but at the time did not think of it as a UFO sighting, more in the realm of the really weird. I had not read anything about UFO's before the sighting but I will admit I enjoyed tv shows such as Star Trek. In my opinion UFO's are real. Some being experimental craft we have created but there is a lot of good evidence that many others may not be of our make.

Summary:

I saw a large (bigger than a house) balloon like object, orange (I think) with smaller balls all around it. I was setting on the ground and I drove towards it and stopped. The next time I remember, it was approximately 3 hours later and the thing was gone.

Duration:

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

A large orange sphere with smaller blue or green spheres spaced all around it. I was apparently on the ground, but I never got close enough to tell. It was really large.

Size of Object(s)

I would guess the object was 100 meters or so in diameter.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

I guess the object was a quarter mile away, on the ground. I couldn't tell the distance at all.

Description of Area / Surroundings

The area was flat dry West Texas land with lots of cotton around and dirt roads. An Airport was about 5 miles to the west and Reese Air Force Base was about 20 miles to the southwest.

Full Description & Details

I was north of Lubbock, Texas not to far from the Airport around 2:30 pm and was driving home in my Nissan truck. I noticed a fire near some houses and so I got off the hardtop road,and drove in that direction. After I went past the houses and saw it was a trash fire, I headed west toward the airport and noticed the top of a large orange round shaped object. As I got closer, I could see smaller balls attached to it, that were a different color and more of the object came into view. I drove closer, but before I got close enough to see the base I stopped.

The next I remember is that it was hot and I looked at my watch. It was after 5:30 pm. I didn't feel like I was asleep or that anything had happened. I didn't tell anyone, not even my wife, until years later. I did see something in one of the UFO books that looked like what I saw in real life, but I don't remember what book it was. I haven't really thought about it for years and nothing like it has happened since.

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

No
