Full Description & Details

I was 19 years old and living with my mother on Brookline Dr.in an apartment complex in Oklahoma City, OK. Brookline Dr runs parallel to May Ave and one block west of May Avenue. We lived in an apartment complex just across the street from a high-rise apartment complex by the name of Lakeview Towers apartments. I know Lakeview Towers apartments are still there because I have friends in OKC that I still communicate with. My finace' at the time, Cynde Brock, lived in Lakeview Towers with her girlfriend on the 10th floor. Lakeview is 15 stories tall. I was visiting Cynde in late afternoon. Cynde and I were standing outside on her patio looking over the horizon and Lake Hefner that was to our north-northwest. Because there was no sound, I do not know what made us look up, but we both did, and saw this huge round metallic looking craft moving very slowly above out heads, over the top of the apartment complex from directly behind us to in front of us. It stopped when it was in full view. That is, the bottom of it was in full view. It is difficult to guess the size because I did not know what it was or how far up it was. If it was an airplane, for example, I know about how large airplanes are and then judging from it's size could tell how far up it was. But, not knowing what the size was or how far up it was, the only thing I had to go on was it's clarity. ie: the clearer the detail, the closer, etc. I guessed it to be between 150 and 200 feet across and about 100 feet above us.

A soft white light began glowing in the very center of the bottom of the craft for just a few seconds. Then the white light seemed to explode into a design all over the bottom of the craft. The design was symmetrical. ie: the left half was identical to but mirrored the right half. After a few seconds the lights disappeared as if to morph into the center light once again. Again only the center light was glowing. It exploded again into another type of design, and it was also symmetrical. This happened about 5 times. Each time was a different design. I tried to remember the designs but could later only remember one that was very much like a tree with a trunk and a lot of bare branches. I know 'feelings' are not very scientific, but I had a very distinct feeling that these beings were putting on this light show for Cynde and/or myself.

The craft then took off to the north as if being shot from a gun. There was not a sound. When it got over Lake Hefner, approximately 7 miles away, it stopped as if it hit a concrete wall. The trip took 3 or 4 seconds. We could now see the side of it. It looked sort of cigar-like. What one would expect if looking at a 'typical' flying saucer from the side. It stayed there about 2 minutes then shot out again only this time to the south. It traveled from just above the far north horizon to just above the far south horizon in about 3-5 seconds. It stopped just above the far south horizon. By knowing the approximate distance it traveled and the time it took to travel that speed, I later calculated it's speed. It traveled a conservative distance of 14 miles in not more than 5 seconds or 10,080 miles per hour. In 1968, it definitely was not 'one of ours'. After about 2 minutes, it shot out again cross the sky toward the northern horizon once more. Only this time it did not stop but continued over the north horizon and out of sight.

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

Not even a remote possibility. This technology is off the known scale today and this was 37 years ago.

Witness Background

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I had been reading about UFOs for about a year before the sighting. That was why I had the presence of mind to count the seconds when it flew from one place to another and tried to remember the light designs on the bottom of the craft.

Other Comments

I have always found it curious that my interest in UFOs became insatiable while my fiance never speaks about it. The incident also opened my mind. Through my life, after the sighting, I have taken nothing at face value. I investigate everything myself and draw my own conclusions.

Full Description & Details

This is actually something my father saw when he was about eleven years old. My father absolutely does not lie, and this incident is what got him interested in the subject of UFOs (which has been a life-long hobby).

He and a friend were playing in an area where an empty alley opened into a field. They were building a club house and just enjoying the day. He says that they first began to hear a strange metallic sound. (He experimented for half an hour one evening until he could reproduce this sound for me: tapping a key an inch from the bottom of a soda can, filled 1/4 with water. Four quick taps, a short pause, four more, etc. ) They looked around and saw a craft hovering very still a few feet above a tree. It was twenty to twenty five feet in length. Dull light silver in color. He thinks it may have been slightly rounded on the front and back. On the rear was either a blue light or a blue flame (he says it was bright enough to cast a glow a foot or so away from its source in daylight). It had "skids" like a helicopter that were the same color and length as the body. Aside from the sound, there were two features which really stood out. One was the writing on the belly. He can't recall their exact appearance but remebers distinctly that they were not English. He said it reminded him of chinese letters. The other feature was the long silver tube which protruded from the bottom rear of the craft. The tube was "sniffing" the leaves in the tree top (that's the only way he can describe it). The craft would hover over a tree, "sniff" the leaves for a few seconds, then slowly move to the next tree. Aside from the metallic rapping, there was no sound (they were maybe 10 yards from the object, and it was only 40' up at most. If there was a sound, they would have heard it). They watched this for three or four minutes, too scared to move. Then they ran home.

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

He says it was definitely a vehicle and definitely had no wings, no props, and no typical engine sounds. There were no windows visible (he could see the left side and the front at al times). If man made, it was not typical.

the object was glowing in a way. but i beleive it was just a metallic object, and the glowing was from the brightness of the engine reflecting off of the vessel. it looked that way because it was high in the sky. i could also see the reflection from the early morning fog, that there was one big head light on the front. this was not a plane. ive lived in fresno all my life and i have seen everything that can fly. and this was not something out of the ordinary. i know what i saw. thats why i am reporting this. this is completly true. its 7:00 am here in fresno. i just got done deleivering the paper. so this JUST happend. im sober. i deleiver the paper 7 days a week. and ive never seen this before on my route. the wierd thing was. is that i saw it twice. which i think is rare. i could also see that there was a dark spot on the center bottom of the craft. and you could hear the engine very quitly. it sounded like a low airplane engine, but with pauses in the sound pattern.

Size of Object(s)

if you hold out your arm, close one eye, and hold a nickel in your two figers. it would be close to that same size and shape.

i was delievering the fresno bee. (the newspaper) i was almost done with the second street at the beging of my route. then all of a sudden i seen this ball of light in the sky behind me. it looked like a moving street light. it was orange. it moved about the pace of a slow helecopter. i had to stop and watch this thing in the sky for about three minutes. then it went out of sight. (about 10 miles in the distance). (second sighting) this time i seen it coming from the east of me on a street called spalding. this time i could focus more on the object. it was moving about the same pace. i watched it for about five minutes. but i seen more of the object this time. it just kept going til i couldnt see it anymore. it was staying about the same altitude.

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

satellites dont have head lights. blimps dont glow. airplanes have blinking lights and are loud. if this was of the military then why was it so bright. i am not crazy. this is what i saw. if you want to know more please contact me.

To sum this all up, I saw a HUGE fireball come from behind the moon, come almost straight forward, the make a right turn and cross in front of me.

Size of Object(s)

I can't really judge the distance, but the object was as big as a house (flames encircled the object, so the 'true' size is difficult to gage'

Description of Area / Surroundings

The area was suburban..tree lined streets and such. The address was 499 Belgrove Dr., Kearny New jersey (for purposes of pinpointing on a map)

Full Description & Details

I really don't know where to begin...In 1965 I was just 16 or so, residing in Kearny New Jersey at a facility called 'New Jersey Boystown'. I remember lining up to go to the mess hall for dinner. Boystown faces the Passaic River...between Newark New Jersey and Kearney New Jersey (points of reference) The sky was dusky with a full moon in the upper left of the sky (as well as I can remember) I remember gazing at the moon waiting to go eat when I saw a speck coming from the left side of the moon (seems as if it came from behind the moon) The speck grew bigger by the second, and was soon crossing right in front of me left to right at a pretty fast speed. The 'thing' was as big as a house and in flames (like a huge fireball) the was no sound except a hissing sound. The path of 'flight' seemed guided...if you know what I am trying to say. I swear to you I will never forget what I saw. The next day on the radio there were broadcasts that something landed in Pennsylvania...the radio announcers joked (or did they?) that witnesses say they saw 'windows or portholes' around the object. I have not told many people this story very few indeed, but I feel an obligation to share this information with you. Did I witness 'The Kecksburg UFO'? I'd have to say without a doubt a resounding ABSOLUTELY!

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

I have spent the last 40 years pondering what I saw, and I cannot explain what I saw. I have never seen anything like it before or since.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

The shape of the object was circular (exact shape unknown because material seemed to not reflect any light). There were subtle but apparent lights of a white/orange tone arranged uniformly underneath. The material of the UFO did not reflect the orange/white light, but we could tell there was a solid object there (it blocked our view of the stars as it moved). The lights were bright enough to be seen, but subtle (like a spotlight with a cover that prevents a "light beam" effect). The object was completely quiet .

Size of Object(s)

At least the size of a current super wal mart (very large). Again, the exact size was unknown because the surface of the object did not reflect any light (we knew it was solid because it obscured the stars)

Description of Area / Surroundings

Urban setting. We were facing Ft. Huachuca when we spotted it (it was moving away from the base - in our direction).

Full Description & Details

---names witheld to protect anyone involved still on active duty with security clearances-----

While stationed at Ft. Huachuca from 1991-1993, a buddy of mine and I were walking to our car (in Sierra Vista). I got in the car and closed the door - only to notice my buddy still standing there at the door.

He told me to check this out (with a strangely worried tone). I got out of the car and looked up to see a large apparently circular shaped object moving very slowly away from Ft. Huachuca heading over Sierra Vista (parallel with the main strip).

I was amazed at the size of the object (easily the size of a super wal-mart or larger) - noting it made absolutely no sound. It appeared to be flying under 500' (estimated based on my Cessna flight training experience). Ground speed was initially estimated around 5 - 10mph. After watching the object for around 10 minutes, the object's lights began to dim and it moved up and away in an accelerating movement only to vanish (not sure if it was the accelerating speed, distance, or lights that caused the disappearing).

My buddy and I were both somewhat nervous after seeing this. We wanted to report the sighting to someone, but feared losing our security clearances (the typical "you're nuts" response to UFO sightings + being in the military = bad news for job security). We both agreed to remain silent about this. In light of some of the posts I've read, and a picture I found on the internet, I thought the time for silence was over - I can't attest to the validity of every sighting, but what we saw was beyond military capability of the time (1992 objects the size of super wal marts don't fly silently obscuring their exact shape and accelerate incredibly fast only to vanish). In retrospect, I can't help but believe anyone/anything with techonogy of this type must have wanted to be seen (given it's ability to vanish) and the slow speed & duration of this sighting.

If (in the off chance) my buddy reads this, google search for me... I have further information on our sighting. Regards all - too bad cell phone cameras werent available in 92.

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

I have been an aviation enthusiast since early childhood. This sighting was DEFINATLY not planes, helicoptors, stars, planets, atmospheric phenomenon, or blimps (blimps don't accellerate and disappear like this object did).

Witness Background

Current occupation - techonology admininstrator Education - CIS degree Past work experience - varied + military

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Before this sighting, I did not believe in UFO's. At the time of the sighting, I thought UFO's were purely hollywood stories. Now... I have seen something that is beyond our technological capability... I don't necessarily like the idea of UFO's being real (not knowing their true intentions) but I can't deny what I saw. The only comfort I have from this sighting is in thinking the UFO wanted to be seen (since it so easily accelerated and disappeared at the end).

Other Comments

I have an undergraduate degree in computer information systems, 4 years honorable military service, a family and happy life. Bottom line.... I'm the successful guy next door that doesnt talk about things like this openly because the media is keyed to ridicule, the government denies everything, and other people like myself want to keep their jobs.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

The craft was the same craft that appeared in the belgium sightings. The configuration of the lights were the same exactly. I had described the configuration of the lights I saw to some co-workers the next day. You can understand my absolute shock to see a picture of exactly what I saw on the internet. There were 3 very bright solid lights in a triangular pattern with a solid red light in the middle.

Size of Object(s)

Since it was at night the only measure of distance I have in the distance between the lights. The lights were probably 20 to 25 feet apart.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

At its closest the object was about 150 yards away and 100 yards off the ground.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Rural area. 20 miles from a nuclear power plant. no military bases or airports.

Full Description & Details

Approx. 8:45 PM central standard time I saw an object moving from east to west approx. 20 mph about 200 yards off of the ground. It was moving so slow that a conventional aircraft would have stalled out. I first observed the object from about one half of a mile away. It was about the size of a small cessna aircraft. As it flew it crossed the road I was travelling on. At it's closest it was aproxx. 150 yards away from my car. I observed the craft for about 1.5 minutes. It was approaching from an open field but once it crossed the road I immediately lost sight of it.

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

It was moving to slowly to be a conventional aircraft. This is because the stall speed would required to keep a conventional aircraft in the air is higher. This also could not have been a helicoptor. I fly on a variety of helicoptors to work. I also have a military background and have witnessed no craft like this before.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Small country town. Nothing special in the area.

Full Description & Details

The object came from the east heading west. It was about 4-5pm. A beautiful clear day. I heard a roar and look to my left, as I was walking on the road in front of our house. I saw this very large silver object, shaped like a cigar pass before me to my right (west). It look real low, but I couldn't tell. I was about 15 at the time. I do remember the bright green/emerald sparks coming off the front of it and how it had like black burn makes on the "nose."

Alone the silver side was a row of what I call "portholes," with siluaettes moving behind them. Behing the object, was a brilliant red/orange flame and very black smoke that trailed over the horizon behind it to the east. As it passed out of sight to the west, it left the same smoke trail over that horizon. I called the Phillipston Chief Of Police, the late Chief Chartier. He told me, "It was just a meteor, wasn't that exciting?"

My late step-father, was dropping off my two step-brothers in the next town of Athol, and he said when he got home, all of the traffic stopped and everyone was looking up watching it pass over. He was as excited about this event as I was.

The next day, in the Worcester Telegram, of Worecester, MA, ran this as a front page story. It state that this "meteor" flew from space, crossed several New England States, the went right back into space." I did't buy it, and neither did my late step-father.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, don't objects from space either be deflected by our atmosphere, or they crash here on earth? This has bugged me for years.

What I saw was not what was reported in the Worcester Telegram.

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

No way. Impossible.

Black Triangle, Thought it was an f-117a first, however, normaly military flight paterns around this area must have signal lights due to the amount of small aircraft from the Scottsdale Airport. Since this was at 00:26am, it was very dark, and the only way we spotted it was by movement and the disapearing of stars because of this object being infront of our vision. (plus the moonlight)

Size of Object(s)

About the size of a large aircraft. Was about 4 inches across from our view, but i suspect it was much larger.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

1.5 mile view, altitude = 1,500 feet.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Urban work area. Clear night, we saw it because of the almost full moon tonight.

Full Description & Details

Outside at approx 00:26am. Smoking a cigarette with one of my co-workers. He points due North and says "What the Hell is that?". I couldn't spot it at first. Then he pointed and i looked down his arm to where he was pointing, and I saw a dark shape moving very quickly through the sky, it had no blinking lights, and it couldn't have been a conventional aircraft as there was 0 sound eminating from the object. The only noise that we heard were the sand pipers running around in the street (Paradise Lane). Monitored this object for about 45 seconds when it banked to the North (away from us), but didn't vanish because it left our field of view, it vanished by disapearing completely. Then we were left with the empty, black, night sky. We spotted this object only because the moon was semi-full (whether waning or waxing, I lost my moon chart, but there was enough moon light to spot movement). Co-worker said that it had a silver underbelly, but I was too astonished to notice, I just remember that the object was a very dark color of black, because it wouldn't have been seen if the moon wasn't out. Again, at first I thought it might have been an f-117a Stealth making a test run, but again, in Scottsdale air traffic, whether it is military or civilian it must have lights on it for other pilots to easily spot it. There were no lights on this object. Airport is approx 1.5 miles from this location, so either it is a new kind of military plane that our Govn't is testing out (there is an airforce base here), however I really doubt that.

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

No. Defniately not. couldn't be an airplane, there was no sound. Couldn't be a baloon because the object was rigid and def a solid type object. Couldn't have been a chopper (again no sound eminated from this object).

I believe in alternate life, or life that exists on a different plane of reality (astral plane, or mental plane, instead of the physical plane etc...) However I wonder if this concludes that there is intelligence beyond our own (we don't have aircraft that can completely disspear from the visual spectrum of light)

Well me and my friend decided to watch the falling stars at late night or early morning. There were supposed to be a light show of stars falling that night so we got some chairs and sat outside and decided to watch. So we did and about 1 half hour later we separated He went to the front of the house and I went to back of the house os we could see which side would we see more from and within 5 minutes he is screaming look at this star falling right at us. I of course yelled back it's a plane because of the airport in the nearby city. I said if it were a star it would be gone by now ! Is it still coming ? He said yes and getting closer so i thought he was crazy or seeing a plane or something of that sort so I run around the corner of the house and to my surprise it was one big light getting closer like a quarter of a mile away then slowly got to within a block away, above the cornfield that was across the street from my house . I then sat there for about 20 seconds and then it split into two floating crafts with a slight humming noise or vibration. The lights then got extremely bright as if it seen us and wanted to make it harder to see! Or vica versa! So I screamed for my girlfreind to get me the camra in the house and suddenly like a flash they together just took off with a slighty louder vibration that I felt. Kind of like bass from a car sterio. I was excited to have had the opportunity to ever see one. SO we checked our watches to see if anything was different. You never know !!! We never could make out the actuall details of it because it was so bright but I swear to you nothing that I know of can move like that or fly so silently it was defeniately a U F O as far as I know from here or somewhere else but definiately extreemly advanced!!!

Absolutely 100 percent it was not a natural object or conventional man made object! It is undeniably a real U F O from where or who made it not sure but defeniately was real!

The Bible in Ezekiel talks of flying circles and beings getting out of them and the crafts moving fast as lightning and so on and that was written over 2000 years ago. It just makes sence that hundreds of thousands of people are not that stupid to all get wrong impressions of an object in the sky it would be an insult to our intellegence ! At lease one of us is telling the truth ! And if one of is then it all is !
