Appearance / Description of Object(s)Very bright lights - of a magnitud similar to Venus. (It's been a long time, I can not say for sure.) They were of different colors, and very beautiful to watch. Size of Object(s)See above Distance to Object(s) & AltitudeAs I now know, my distance to the objects was app. 200 km. Description of Area / SurroundingsFlat agricultural area -- but thats not really relevant. Full Description & DetailsI was on my way home from Kristanstad's Airport. As I turn south on the highway, a few hundred meters east of the airport I notice a group of very bright and colorful lights in the far distance. (As I can tell from a map, the road's direction is slightly east of 180 degrees, more like 170, and the lights were almost straight ahead, just slightly to the left/east of me.)
Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?No, I used to be an avid amateur astronomer, and still explore the night sky every opportunity I get. And the incident is so well documented by now. Witness BackgroundI'm a self employed media professional. I have a very big interest, but a fairly open sceptisism, in unnormal phenomena. I also know quite a lot about astronomy and used to be extremely fascinated by the Apollo programme. Views on UFOs, before and after sightingThis is the second of my three UFO sightings -- all of them from a very long distance. I stumbled across some German photos of the incident today, after researching The Disclosure Project. I am, at this point, fairly certain that UFO's exist. Other CommentsMy reason for posting this, so late, is the varying numbers and locations of the reported witnesses. It seems like I am one of the northern most -- so it might be of interest regardig altitude, luminosity and size of the lights.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)Object was shiny, stationary, sort of just "hanging" in the sky. The object must have been large in size, as an aircraft flew past it and it seemed to be equal or smaller than the object. For an object to be seen that high by several eyewitnesses, must mean that this object was large. Size of Object(s)Refer to previous paragraph. Additional amplifying information--I assuming object was the size of or larger than a military aircraft; F-15, F-16 type fighter jet. Maybe two stories tall. Distance to Object(s) & Altitude25,000-30,000 feet...hovering...stationary...just hanging in the sky Description of Area / SurroundingsCulver City is a heavily populated area and is known for its motion picture studio communities. The most active military bases in Southern California are Miramar Marine Corps Air Station and Camp Pendleton--about two to three hours south on Interstate 5 or beyond. I have no idea where the jet came from. Another "inactive" air base is Los Alamitos located near Newport Beach is about an hour to an hour and a half south of Culver City. There are no power plants in the area--not to my knowledge. There were no reported power outages and/or electrical disturbances caused by this object. Full Description & DetailsWhile filming the motion picture "Click" at Sony Studios in Culver City, CA, several eyewitnesses (including myself) (all witnesses were Union and Non-Union Background Actors, Sony Studios employees, and crew members of various motion picture and television series productions) seen a metallic object in the sky. The conditions that day were: clear/blue sky/sunny. The object hovered about 25,000-30,000 feet. A military-type aircraft also flying high altitude, flew past this object. The object did not move for more than two (2) hours. Finally, all eyewitnesses were asked to proceed to a studio to perform with several Hollywood personalities. The object was silvery and shiny...as the sun reflected this object to be seen by many of the eyewitnesses. I did not initially spot this object. I was asked to go outside by another person to observe this object. I have no idea if this object was reported by another eyewitness and/or if a another report was filed. Because of the nature of where the incident took place, many skeptics may believe this object was a "prop" for a movie production. However, records indicate that NO motion pictures and/or television productions concerning aircraft or aerospace were filmed or being filmed in the vicinity--especially at such a high altitude as this object. Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?No. I didn't believe it at first. I thought that it was a balloon or satellite of some sort. All eyewitnesses were convinced that it was in fact a "UFO" when the military aircraft flew past it to investigate. A similar incident occured back in the 1940's labeled the "Battle for Los Angeles", where anti-aircraft artillery batteries were firing at objects. This military plane, however, did not attack...it flew past this object twice. Witness Background4 Years Navy : Radioman (1992-1996) 4 Years Marine Corps: Electrical Engineer / Marine Air Wing (2000-2004) 54 college credits at Univ. of Pittsburgh *Security Officer, Pinkerton (1996-1998) *Data Entry, State Department Passport Applications *Participated in developmental testing at Naval Air Test Center Patuxent River, MD *Background Actor on "Joey", "West Wing", "E-Ring", etc. Views on UFOs, before and after sightingI was a skeptic but now a believer. It seems that who have traveled a "special path" in life are allowed to view UFOs. For example, Mr. Timothy Cooper and myself have similar backgrounds. I have detective training, worked as a security officer, and served in both the Navy in the telecommunications field and the Marine Corps in the power generation field with Air Wing, Kuwait, and Patuxent River, MD. I believed, as a Christian, that UFOs were spiritual manifestations--and still believe that. However, the mechanical aspects of UFO sightings can't be explained. Other CommentsPlease release Mr. Timothy Cooper's email contact info to me, as I believe that we could put our investigative tools and resources together to further research UFO phenomena.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)Object at 400 yards through good binoculars looked like two bright round balls of yellow/orange fire, side by side together but with two distinct centers. Fires were brighter than any headlights, they shone like little suns, but didn't seem to light up the area around them like fires of that size would....size, I would guess, was about 10 feet across from left side of one ball the right side of the other, and about half as high. Size of Object(s)At arms length, my closed fist would about cover the object as seen with the naked eye. My guess is that it was about 10 feet across and about 5 feet hight at a distance of about 400 yards. Description of Area / SurroundingsWooded very rural area, lake community with development going on. Area is adjacent to Childs State Park and Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area...heavily wooded preserves, no power plants, not military bases, no airports, no towns nearby. Full Description & DetailsAs an addendum to the statement above, this happened between the middle and end of January in 1977, can't remember the exact date, but it was during a long spell of very cold and clear, crisp weather. I was employed as a security guard for Wild Acres Lakes, a private lake community in Dingmans Ferry, Pa. I worked nights patroling the sprawling community in a Volkswagen Rabbit. I was 24 years old at the time, having been born 6/16/52. At the time, the developer of the community was clearing swampland in another section of the community, in preparation for building another lake around which to build homes. They would burn the stumps and brush, and at night the piles of stumps glowed brightly in the cleared swamp areas. On this particular night the stumps were burning in the area being cleared, which I observed in my rounds. At sometime early in the morning, around 1 or 2 a.m, I didn't note the exact time, I was driving south on Wild Acres drive toward Lakeside Drive in a wooded area with no homes or new construction, when I saw out my left drivers window what I thought was a pile of stumps and brush burning in the woods on the other side of the small swamp which lies to the left of Wild Acres Drive at that point, between Wild Acres Drive and the Construction Road. Since there had not been any construction or clearing going on in the area on previous nights, I thought this was either new clearing and burning going on, or a forest fire starting up. The area where I saw the fire was across the swamp, which was frozen solid and covered with over a foot of snow, and up a small ridge, which was perhaps 30 to 40 feet in height above the swamp level to the horizon. The ridge on the other side of the swamp was about 400 yards away, so I rolled down my drivers side window and took out my binoculars to have a closer look at the fire. When I focused in on the fire, I noticed that it didn't look like a pile of burning stumps and brush, but rather like two bright yellow/orange glowing round balls of fire, closely side by side so that the lights blended together, but still had two distinct centers. I did not observe any structure or sound or anything else, just the bright light. The light was on the ground, about halfway between the edge of the swamp and the horizon. Although there was no moon, I could clearly make out the horizon because it was a very clear, very cold and very starry night, there was snow cover on the ground, and I was looking towards the east, which in this area always causes a bit of glow in the eastern sky because of the major NY metropolitan area 50 miles to the east. I could also clearly make out the trees of the forested area, and the sky through the trees at the ground horizon line, and the sky above the tops of the trees. I observed the lights on the ground for about a minute or so, not longer, still thinking it was a fire of some kind burning on the ground. At that point, the lights slowly began to rise straight up through the trees, and then above the trees to a height of 10 to 20 feet, where the lights hovered for a moment, perhaps 10 or 15 seconds, (all of which I still observed through good binoculars). Then, still without any discernible noise and without change of shape, color or brightness, the fires suddenly shot off into space at an angle about 10 or 15 degrees to the left of vertical (toward the north, as I was facing east), at a speed I can only describe as in a flash, leaving a trail of yellow/orange light behind, the way you see a trail of light behind a flashlight wand when you wave it quickly. I did not report the sighting at the time, nor did I make an attempt to investigate the ground where I had seen the light. I don't know why I didn't, and I wish now that I had. I don't know what I saw, but it made an impression on me such that I can still recall what I saw like it was yesterday. I had not ever seen anything like it before, and have not seen anything like it since. I was 24 years old then, and I am 53 years old now. Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?No, I'm very familiar with how planets and satelites look at night, and bright meteorites as they fall and burn up...I'm familiar also with how airplane landing headlights look at a distance as they're coming toward you, and how they look as planes turn or climb. This wasn't any of those things. Witness BackgroundI'm 53 years old, married with 2 daughters ages 13 and 8. I have worked in the insurance industry as an underwriter since 1978. At the time of the sighting in January 1977, I worked as a carpenter, and was working as a security guard at the lake community for the winter. I was second in a high school class of 150, I attended Rutgers University for 1 1/2 years. I was drafted in the US Army in July 1972, was trained as a miltary policeman, I had a top secret security clearance and I served in the Headquarters of the 15th Military Police Brigade in Kaiserslautern, Germany as a clerk in the S3 Plans and Operations area. I was born and raised in the area where I had the sighting and I'm very familiar with the area and terrain. Views on UFOs, before and after sightingI have always kept an open mind towards UFO's....there is more to our universe, I'm sure, than my mind can imagine.....but I am not given to making things up, or seeing things that aren't there because I want to see them. Before the sighting, I knew about UFOs what I had read in national press or heard on TV, I did not and still do not buy and read material about UFO's, although if History Channel has on a show about them, I'll watch to see if anyone else had a similar sighting. There seems to be mostly pretty sensational stuff on the TV. Other CommentsHere's a link to a mapquest map of the area of sighting. Again, I was on Wild Acres Drive looking east towards Construction Road, across a swamp. http://mq-mapgend.websys.aol.com/?e=9&GetMapDirect=Gme5diw%2ca%3a9u12%3b%40%2459%2dan1r72%26%3dt5%21fr5g67%3a9w%402hzal1%4022%21z82u67%3adzbx%26u2gu%2c2%3a9672%3b%40b20w%24%3a%26%40%2459%2dalu672%26%3dt5%21rtng67%3a%26%4025u6%40l%3b%40zauu%24%3a Reported Sighting?NoReported To:Never made a report, although I've repeated my impressions of the sighting to a few friends and family.Name:Patrick BurnsYour Location:Branchville, NJ, USAAge:53 |

Appearance / Description of Object(s)saucer shape , silver Size of Object(s)smaller than plane Distance to Object(s) & Altitudehigh as elementry school Description of Area / SurroundingsIt was a very poor area with an elementry school by it. Full Description & DetailsI was sitting in my class room in the afternoon about 230pm. It was an old elementary school a class of 15 students. I was sitting in back of my class room when I heard a sound I never heard before it became louder, funny thing is no one else seemed to be bothered by it. I look to my right where theres a window I can't believe what I'm seeing a disc shaped object flying through the air at a speed my eye can catch just as its going by. Afterwards class is over I came out the class room shocked, still can't believe what I saw. No one else saw it? how can that be? how can that be? not even the sound! I told my mother when I got home she didn't seem believe me either. However, till this day I began to put the pieces together why I only saw it, this is the only conclusion I found. Before I saw it I was very intrested in UFOs watching X files, unsolve mysteries, etc. The more I thought about it not just thought but with emotions day after day. It could be possibe I had so much believe in it I wanted to see so bad It triggerd my mind enabling such a thing to come true. I realised we become what we think about. However, I truly believe there are ufo's. My grandfather lived in Guatamala around 8 pm he went out to take a leak at the backyard suddenly a bright light shine down on him like big flashlight he suddently notices he can hes shadow. He looked up and saw a saucer with a ring of lights around it he tried to scream nothing came out of his mouth he tried again and again, finally his famliy heard him they came out running, by the time they came it had vanished at the speed of light. Perhaps to some of us they do appear but someone like me I thought about it so bad with believe It became my reality. Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?Not man made for sure Witness BackgroundManager sales crew ,private franchise owner.

As I was lying there this bright light began flashing in my eye. The next thing I remember was traveling at an astronomical speed for time. I felt a small jerk. A short time later this large planet appearedd out of the darkness. As I looked down I noticed craters covering most of the surface of the yellow colored planet. I began to travel northwest for some.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)Oval shaped with no distinctive features. The crafts emitted an extremely bright orange/yellow light evenly from their entire surface. Size of Object(s)About 1/2 inch between fingers at arms length. Given the distance between me and the craft I estimate that they must each have been at least the size of a very large blimp. Description of Area / SurroundingsVery rural, high-desert area of the Mojave desert. Both George AFB (my destination and place of work) and Edwards AFB are in this area. Full Description & Details Driving from home in Wrightwood, CA to work at George AFB in a 2-door sedan with 2 co-workers eastbound on Hwy 18 between Sheep Creek Rd and Hwy 395 near Phelan, CA. Myself and other witnesses were F4-Phantom Weapons Control Technicians in the USAF. My eastbound view was of mountains on horizon with first glow of sunrise behind mountains.
Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?No, not whatsoever. Witness BackgroundService in the USAF as an electronic technician. College graduate, BSCS, Summa Cum Laude, (GPA of 3.875) Senior level design engineer (electronics/software), 25 years experience. Co-patent holder (co-inventor) of an industry award winning Laser Scanning Microscope. Views on UFOs, before and after sightingBefore the sighting I was a complete non-believer, a very scientifically-minded skeptic. I was exposed to some material about UFOs prior to this, but no more than the average person at that time - it was not a subject of interest to me prior to my sighting. Obviously, now I know they exist - which in itself implicates many in positions of authority who continue to deny this fact. I feel like someone who knows a rare truth that most are not aware of, and that I'm fighting a constant battle with those who try to keep the truth from us. I know that I'm right, and they are wrong, but how do I prove it? What do I do with this knowledge I have? It hurts me deeply as a devoted and patriotic American to know that the government that I am supposed to trust is lying and deceiving the public. It causes me to lose nearly all trust in my government, and it's not my fault - it's theirs. I feel as if I have been cursed with this first-hand knowledge, because there has never been any "closure" for me. At this point I have come to the conclusion that we must have more to fear from our own government than we do from the UFOs - and it is our own government's actions compared to those reported concerning UFOs that have led me to this conclusion. What I am supposed to teach my children concerning them trusting their government - about the rightness of truth and the evil of lies? I am very sad and angry. Other CommentsIt is my great hope and desire that the truth will be openly admitted during my lifetime. If it happens it will bring me unspeakable peace and comfort.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)It changed shape it was the shape of a triangle at one point then and appeared to be moving or spinning around itself it would shimmer from the suns reflection making it look like a star . It would glow luminous white and change shape Size of Object(s)1 inch Distance to Object(s) & AltitudeIt was at a planes altitiude Description of Area / SurroundingsDowntown Sacramento Full Description & DetailsI (I am Employed by the State of California 12 years ) was in my backyard on the 18th of July at 6:30pm watering the lawn I happen to look up and there is this object to the North stationary as in not going in any direction but moving or rotating and changing shape I think because the object was reflecting the sun which made it really hard to see it would twinkle like a star would except for the sun was still up and this thing was much lower than a star as I was watching this thing it looked like it was changing shape and that it was giving off some kind of heat you know the wavy haze that comes of the pavement when you look down a road when its hot in the summer time? At that point I knew it wasn’t a plane and I called my roommate he told me to get his video camera which I did. When I got back outside, this thing had moved to the south east. It was my first time using it and I spent most of that hour trying to get as much video as I could which I did the video didn’t come out as good as I had hoped. I had problems keeping the camera still when it was zoomed in on this object. But you can clearly see this thing wasn’t a plane and it changes shape. At one point I saw a commercial airliner fly right past this thing. I wish I had got that on tape but I didn’t. The pilot had to have seen this thing. My roommate (He is a network manager for an architectural company) came home at 7:30pm I pointed this thing out to him although this thing was further away at this time and he agrees with me this thing was no plane and neither he nor I could explain it. The object kept moving to the southeast and we wanted to see if we could see this object on the tape so we went inside to check it out.
Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?absolutely not Witness BackgroundI work for the Legislative Counsel Bureau of California at the Legislative Data Center going on 12 years Views on UFOs, before and after sightingI am well educated on the subject I have always been interested in the subject Other CommentsUp to this day I don't know what made me turn around and look up at this thing. I am into UFO sightings it has always facinated me but I wouldn't normally look up in the daytime to look for one much less when I was preoccupied.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)I was not able to see any detail. The only way for me to describe it is as a glowing orb. It was not blindingly bright, but it radiated a bluish white light. The entire object appeared to be the same "lightness" - I saw no dark areas, shadows, etc... Due to the rate of speed it was moving at, it also gave off a small light trail that was very faint. Size of Object(s)My initial feeling was that it was about the size of the body of a small helicopter - like the kind that you see on "traffic patrol". Description of Area / SurroundingsThis intersection is just south of Raleigh, NC on Route 401 in Garner. It is an urban area, lots of strip malls, gas stations, etc. There were other people on the streets in cars, but not too many. I would say that in a 1/10th of a mile radius around me, there were no more than 15-20 cars. Most of the businesses in that area were closed. Full Description & DetailsI was on my way home from work @ 9:40 pm, and was stopped at the bottom of the off ramp from the 440 Inner Beltline to 401 South. I was the only car on the ramp, and I was waiting to make a right onto 401. An orb of light flew over my car from my right to left, and was traveling at an incredible rate of speed. I actually waited for a few moments and rolled down my window to see if I could hear a crash. On the left of this intersection, there is a 3 or 4 story commercial building (the flat roof square type) and the object created a light trail on the ground as it was moving.
Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?Not any that I have ever seen or are aware of. Witness BackgroundI am married with 2 school age children, and have just gone back to work after being a Stay-At-Home mom for 8 years. Views on UFOs, before and after sightingI do believe in life on other planets, and I do believe that other beings have visited us before. The subject of UFO's is fascinating, and I enjoy watching programs about them whenever I am lucky enough to catch one on TV.
