Appearance / Description of Object(s)Circular or Oval Two big bright lights (one on the upper right and one on the botttom left) A shadowy red glowing ring around the object Size of Object(s)I would have to say above the tree it was about 3/4 of the width of the tree top and about the same size height. It looked like it was right there, not far away at all, to us it looked huge. Description of Area / SurroundingsMetuchen is a rural residential area, lots and lots of tree covering, we were coming down the street from an incline and a park area, so we had clearing above us to see above the trees at this particular area. We are a small town in New Jersey, it is only 2.5 square miles (we are surrounded by Edison). It was a beautiful night and the sky was so clear, there was not one cloud and you could see multiple stars. There are no power plants/industrial areas within miles of us. Full Description & DetailsI was driving down oakland avenue last night with my friend Connie. It was just around 9pm and the sky was completely clear (you could see multiple stars). We came to almost the end of Oakland Avenue right before Grove Avenue when above the trees we saw a huge object. It was such a shock to the both of us that all we could say was "what the hell is that" "holy crap" "what the hell is that". What we both describe the "object" as is the same and we both saw it for about 3-4 seconds. The object was directly above the tees and it was definitely close because we saw it as huge. It had two big bright lights on it (one was on the upper right and one was on the bottom left). We describe the shape as circular or oval and there was a ring around it that was a shadow looking red ring. Since we were very shocked at the moment, she kept driving, making a right onto grove ave. Then we realized that we needed to look at it again, but now the trees were blocking it. We went around the bock (behind where we thought the object was, on a hill). There was a clearing at the street in front of a church, we stopped, and saw bright lights (now they were pretty far), and then we both saw a flash of light for about 1-2 seconds that dissappeard from the middle before the bottom or top and then it was gone. We kept driving around the area to hopefully spot it again, but we had no success. For the rest of the night we were both very freaked out/confused not being able to concentrate on anything other than what we had seen. We hope that someone else saw this last night, I would not believe that no one else saw this, because of the size of it and how bright it was (and right in front of us)! We definitely cannot explain what we saw as anything that we have ever seen before. Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?We both sat around talking about this incident last night, we couldn't stop thinking about it, trying to make any sense of it, but we could not. We know it was too low to be anything like a plane and it was just in the same place (not moving the whole time we saw it). We know the Giants blimp was seen ealier last night, but this was way too low for that and obviously not a big blue and white balloon. The shape of it was circular/oval and it was not the moon or sun. It was right in front of us, like we could almost touch it if we were tall enough, it was right above the tree tops directly in front of us. The lights were very bright and the shadowy red around it was very apparent. This did not resemble anything I have ever seen (both in person or even on TV). Witness BackgroundMy name is Barbra, I am 25 years old (Female) I work as an Administrative Assistant for a Commercial Real Estate Company My friend, Connie, is 22 years old (Female) She works in sales for a Tile Company, works as a camp counselor in the parks during summer, goes to school at Middlesex County College We both gratuated from Metuchen High School Views on UFOs, before and after sightingI am open to anything being possible, if I were to see a UFO, I would have a different image in my mind then what we actually saw. We could not describe the actual object's color, only the lights and the red ring around it. I watch Unsolved Mysteries all the time, and I am open to the possibilty to life outside our universe, I still wonder what happened at Area 51. Even though I am always open to the possiblity of it all, I never in my wildest dreams would have thought that I would see something unexplainable. Other CommentsI would just like to know anyone else who saw this. Me and Connie would really like to talk to other because we know that only other who saw this could actually understand how we are feeling from this experience.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)Large object..Perfect circle, pitch black, motionless and could not make it out to be a 3d object. it just looked like a flat circle in the sky up about 40 degrees off horizon and the size of a dime at arms length, came and went suddenly. Smaller object...Came from the dark circle, the size of a 0 of the 2000 date on that same dime , was shiney white or silver could not make out shape because of its distance and the shine from the sun reflecting from it, moved the the south east at high rate of speed with no contrail. would estamate a minimum of 1500mph Size of Object(s)Actual not known because no refrence and altitude not known. clear skys.Relative for dark circle would be a dime at arms length, smaller object the size of a 0 stamped on the dime just a shiney dot. Description of Area / Surroundingsobserved from an urban area but objects were over an unpopulates low mountain area. between bakersfield and tehachapi. looked like it was over the area of Bear Mountain Full Description & DetailsI am a private Pilot and aircraft lover of all types 30 yo with better than 20/20 vision. To relax i would sit in the back yard in the swinging bench and gaze to the east where we have a view of the faroff bear mountain which is just east of Arvin California. I usually have my digital camcorder with me when ever i am outside incase i see the local Hawk that likes to hang out on the telephone pole near the rail road tracks behind the house, or if i might see a cool Helo to get on tape to make a still for my computer screensaver.
Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?I am pretty familure with natural objects and how they can trick the eyes but this was no natural object i have ever seen. and if man made it is nothing conventional. If man made the best explaination i could come up with is maybe the large craft/ circle was fitted with a working optical stelth system explaining why it would appear so quick and vanish, it was very large so mabe a lighter than air craft. and the smaller aircraft, a supersonic aircraft launched from the larger one, it seemed very small so maybe unmaned. millitary aircraft do move over bakersfield once in a while, back befor the f117 was made public they had one crash near here. now what did it look like to me, it looked like the sky opened up and let in a flying object then closed back up like a worm hole or something. Witness BackgroundIm a private pilot, Emt, Skydiver, SCUBA divemaster, and student. 30 y/o and better than 20/20 vision. Views on UFOs, before and after sightingBeing a pilot and majoring in sciences. i am very open minded to the possibility of UFOs not of this planet, but I dont buy in to every report, Even if i see something i cant explain i still want to see close up and touch and inspect before I say Im sure something is not of this earth, I know the millitary has some very cool things but there seems to be consistant ufo sitings dating back hundreds of years. Air Force cant be blamed for them all. Other CommentsI am just curious if anyone has seen what I have seen. I havent seen any like this one on any of the UFO reporting sites.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?Although this airborne vehicle was spotted in the vacinity if an airport , I have never seen anything that looked or behaived like this. Witness BackgroundI have an Associates Degree in Electronic Technology. However, I have been working as an OTR truck driver for the last 12 years. It suits me. Views on UFOs, before and after sightingI have always been a believer from the time that the issue came into my conciousness at about the age of 6 yrs of age. However, I didn't begin to see strange things in the sky untill about two years ago. Other CommentsAlthough I was driving an eighteen wheeler at the time, and I really didn't have a very good vantage point, it just seems to me that this object didn't appear untill after that green flash. I am of the opinion that this vehicle emerged from of or out of that green flash of plasma type light. In addition, this flash of light apparently emmited no sound waves, as there was a cop on the other side of the Interstate with a pulled over car. He was obviously oblivious to the whole thing. It was on a holiday evening, not much traffic out, but I seemed to be the only one who stopped. I will also be so bold as to say this...I think think this event was "for" me.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)An aircraft carrier except it was about 5 times as large. Size of Object(s)Humongous about five time the size of our USN aircraft carriers. Distance to Object(s) & Altitude100 ft. Description of Area / SurroundingsBeach shoreline. Full Description & DetailsThis event occurred at approximately 4:00 pm to 5 :00 pm on a Friday evening. I know that it was a Friday because I had to go to work the next day and because I remember it as being the start of my work week. I worked a weekend shift rotation while employed with the City and County of Honolulu HI. My previous employment was with the U.S. N. as a Radioman (Radiations And Directional Intercept Operations Manager). I had a very high Top Secret and Nuclear clearance during my 20 year career in the U.S.N. During my entire active duty career I had a couple of incidences that I will not reveal because I believe that they happened as a result of employment in the Navy. What I witnessed in Ewa Beach Hawaii however forever changed my mind about unexplained Unidentified Flying Objects. I can easily identify U.S.N. and foreign navy aircraft carriers and how they operate. The object that I saw was about 5 times the size of our modern day Aircraft Carriers and was hovering about 5 feet over the water. My cousin's house in Ewa Beach was approximately 100 ft away from the shoreline. We were sitting outside on a picnic table enjoying the cool Hawaiian breeze when I saw immediately right in front of me about 100 feet away the largest aircraft carrier that I had ever seen floating about 5 feet above the air. This incident lasted approximately 10 seconds. When I was sitting on the picnic table I had my neighbor friend's 19 year old daughter sitting besides me. We were both sitting on the picnic table across and facing my cousin and her husband. When this clearly metallic looking craft suddenly appeared out of no where, the first thought that came to mind was the fact that there was no wind or air displacement that would normally be associated with immediate movement of such a large craft. I could clearly see the exterior of the gray metal iron works rivets holding the large sheets of 10 gauge metal sheets that comprise the makeup of a aircraft carrier. The exception being that this particular aircraft carrier had a large approximately 10 foot high by 20 foot port window glass which clearly contained humans standing inside in a group and observing the Hawaiian scenery as if they were on a sightseeing tour. The group appeared to be a mixed assortment of men, women and children all dressed in civilian clothing. I do not think that they knew that I could see them. As soon as they realized that I could see them and that their masking/invisibility capability had failed them they all jumped away from the port window and the object/ship immediately zoomed away ala warp speed. Again there was no movement of air or sound of their departure.
Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?This object is not USN or manmade to my knowledge. But the occupants appeared to be humans. Witness BackgroundUSN twenty year career. Views on UFOs, before and after sightingBefore, I believed that people who reported UFO's were dillusional. What I saw was not a saucer. But, it was clearly an UFO. As a result of this sighting I still think that people are dillusional. I DO NOT ENJOY, OR HAVE READ ANY UFO Literature. I do not watch or have ever watched any movies related to Star Trek, Battle Star Galatica or other Space HIGH SCIENCE Fiction type movies. Other CommentsIt is my opinion that this sighting was eveidence of time travelers from the future visiting our present day. I now have an opinion on how time travel can occur. It has to do with magnfication. Reported Sighting?NoAge:54 |

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?NO WAY ! My brother in law has been flying for years and I know enough about aircraft to know what it takes to stay in the air. This thing was using another type of propulsion.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)A Sinister looking thick flat black triangle with rounded edges and four large white lights under it. Flat across the bottom. Size of Object(s)two feet if hands out stretched. 70 to 80 feet wing span and 40 to 55 length. 15 to 20 feet tall. Description of Area / SurroundingsIt was urban will lite for night houses and trees main streets. No military bases or power plants but there is A uranium inrichment plant. Full Description & DetailsI was going home on foot toward the north side of the city at 4:55 A.M. it was A cool clear night. When I looked up to my right and seen four large bright white lights. Since there is no tall buildings or towers in that area they stood out and the fact that they were in the shape of A triangle. As I got closer I could see the outline of the craft that was shaped like A thick triangle was rounded off edges. under it was four large white lights. One on the front, one on each corner and one in the back that lined up with the light on the front edge. It was A flat black color like stealth aircraft have. It was not A helicopter and it did not have the pop and click of A main rotor or the shape of A helicopter. It had no Nav lights of green or red. It made no noise until I got closer I heard A very low rumble that seemed to be behind and higher up then the aircraft. As the craft moved I heard no noise. It headed southwest low at A slow speed.
Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?No there is no man- made aircraft civil and military like it.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)It looked exactly like the 3rd object from right in your series of images on the top of the webpage. I saw what looked like a flat-topped straw hat with close-set lights where the ribbon would normally be on the crown of the hat. Two tiny close-set rows of amber, blue and occasionally reddish lights. Size of Object(s)I could not tell if I was seeing a small object close by or a large object far off. Based on the area it appeared to be hovering over, if it were an aircraft of some kind I would guess it would have held about 7-10 people. Not huge, but not tiny either. Description of Area / SurroundingsRural, Blue Ridge Mountains, mostly grazing land in rolling hills on mountain tops, occasional tree lines between properties. Tree canopy varies from about 20 to 100 ft. Sparta is a small town in a low population county. The town was 3 mi. away behind me, behind a ridge of hills. The object was in front almost due east. Full Description & DetailsActually, the photo 3rd from right in the series at the top of your webpage looks pretty much exactly like what I saw, except that I did not see the bottom of the object in the dark. Just the row of circular close-set lights on what looked basically like a flat-top straw hat. I heard a very low steady hum (no idling), almost too low to hear, felt a vibration in the floor. Lights flickered. I thought it was a truck but it never seemed to arrive or leave. The first night I could not see it. When the same thing happened the next night I went and looked and saw the object hovering over the next hill. I'd seen this object before further off and thought it was the Mars close approach, but now, closer up, realized it was not Mars. Nor was it any plane or helicopter I've ever seen, and my dad is a pilot. I grew up around airports. I watched the object for quite awhile. It did not often move, but when it did it moved abruptly and smoothly without any apparent need to maneuver into positions. When it left it was gone so fast I couldn't tell where it went. It was just gone. Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?I cannot say whether the object was man-made, since there are no doubt many military craft I've never seen. But it was not any man-made object or natural phenomenon that I have ever seen before. It was not reflections on clouds, auroras, the moon, birds, bats, etc. I have seen all those before many times. Reflections do not make sounds or vibrations, nor, as far as I know, do balloons or satellites. And it was not any aircraft I've ever seen. Witness BackgroundI am a college educated, former thespian now retraining as an alternative healer and getting back to nature. Views on UFOs, before and after sightingI have seen programs for and against the existence of UFOs. I think some are hoaxes, some can be explained by other phenomena, and some cannot be explained as anything other than either top-secret military devices or something made and operated by someone (or something) other than man. I have no idea how many siting really belong in which categories. I don't suppose we will ever really know. Other CommentsI am surprised to see how many reports you have from September alone.
