Appearance / Description of Object(s)Round bright light Size of Object(s)3 " across at a distance of 4 miles Distance to Object(s) & Altitude500 feet off of the ground Description of Area / SurroundingsRural farm land but 4 miles from small town with 5,000 population Full Description & DetailsIt 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
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 BackgroundRetired 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 sightingTill 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 CommentsThe speed of its departure was incredibly fast, with no sound.

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 / SurroundingsThe 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 & DetailsAgain, 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 BackgroundI 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 sightingI have seen two UFO's previously, when I was a child, and then when I was in my early 20's.

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 / SurroundingsThe 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 & DetailsObject was shaped like an arrowhead. Darkly colored with 3 white lights on the bottom of the object.
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 BackgroundI 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 sightingI 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 CommentsI 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. Reported Sighting?NoName:JPYour Location:Ladera Ranch, CAAge:34 |

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) & AltitudeSee above. Not nearly as high as a jet today. Description of Area / Surroundingsgolf course on edge of town. Crookston is about 8000 people. Full Description & DetailsWe 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 BackgroundCollege degree. Accountant and insurance agent. Retired. Views on UFOs, before and after sightingDon`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.

Size of Object(s)Various lengths from 4-10 cms up to 2-3m at higher altitude. Distance to Object(s) & Altitudefrom ground up to as far as I could see. Description of Area / SurroundingsBeach Full Description & DetailsMe 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.

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) & AltitudeHeight 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 / SurroundingsKent 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 & DetailsI was a senior in High School attending a boarding school in Kent Connecticut at the time of the sighting.
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 BackgroundI 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 sightingI 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. Reported Sighting?NoName:E.M. PetersenYour Location:London, EnglandAge:35 |

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) & AltitudeI guess the object was a quarter mile away, on the ground. I couldn't tell the distance at all. Description of Area / SurroundingsThe 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 & DetailsI 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.
