Full Description & Details

During the summer of 2000 I was on a business trip to the US (I’m from Ireland). I was in the office as usual and decided to head out for smoke break around 11:00am. I was outside in the car park for about 3-4 minutes and was admiring the clear blue California sky. When I looked up I noticed a metal sphere, about the size of a soccer ball. It was perfectly smooth like a big ball bearing, moving overhead.

When I first saw it, it was about 30ft in the air and not more that 10-15 ft distance. (Almost directly over me). There was no sound, and no apparent markings of any kind.

It moved pretty slowly, its hard to estimate but approx 15-20mph, so I had a good look at it before it moved out of sight.

It maintained its height and speed until finally moving out of viewing distance.

At the height it was at, it was lower than the surrounding buildings, although it did not maneuver a way through them, its course took it in a directly line through them and out over the car park and out of sight.

Upon seeing the object my reaction was not at all what I would have expected. I simply shrugged my shoulders, finished my cigarette and went back inside. Within 10 minutes I began to realize that what I had seen was not something completely normal, and I couldn’t quite match it to anything I had heard about or seen before.

I know for fact that what I did see was not a bird or a plane or anything else that I could have mistaken. It was very close to me, moved in a straight line, at a steady speed, and was shiny and metallic.

Full Description & Details

I was pulling off of the highway and thought I was seeing mars in the distance. I was driving towards it in my car and noticed it was too close to be mars because it was growing in size with regards to my approach. I pulled towards it and noticed some blinking lights... but it was not moving or not moving much. I pulled into the CompUSA parking lot on Hopkins Crossroad and 394 and observed it some more... it seemed to be about 200 feet away. At first I thought it was a plane, but it wasn't moving quickly enough. It was very close. I considered a helicopter, but it didn't seem to be the right shape or light configuration. I parked my car, grabbed my camera, and stepped out into the parking lot. As I grabbed my camera, it started to move. Outside of the car I could hear a slight whirring sound like the sound of a jet, but it was way too quiet to be that close to me. In addition, the sound was not shifting like a Doppler effect would cause. It was constant. I had been taking photos of the moon (or trying to), so my camera was set to accommodate the brightness of the moon against the night sky. I was not thinking straight enough to realize this until after around five photos taken... probably over the course of 10 seconds. Still too shocked to think straight, it traveled past me and I stopped taking pictures to get a better look at it with my eyes. It definitely had lights and looked like a very triangular plane of some sort. It looked closest to the F117 shape if it was a plane. It had two white lights and a flashing red light in the middle... again, like a plane might have. But it was much closer than a plane could have been, was traveling too slowly, and wasn't loud enough. I changed the settings on my camera and, by that time, the object had passed by me (this is around 15-20 seconds since I stepped out of my car). I started taking some pictures that actually turned out. The lights kept the same spacing, more or less, despite the angle from which I was viewing it. It was black and when the red light flashed, I could see a slight outline of the thing. The two photos that came out best show it against a building. It moved across only 15% of the viewing area between the two photos and my digital camera stamped the times five seconds apart. That seems far too slow to be a plane. The object seemed to be pulling over the highway when I noticed another set of lights to my left. I watched those for a moment... but I realized that those were just a normal plane. I turned back to watch the original object but it was nowhere to be seen. I got in my car and tried to follow approximately where it seemed to be headed but I didn't see it again. I have those photos and they mostly show the two white lights. I drove to a hill where I saw a UFO zipping around in the distance around six years ago and I saw what might have been it quite a bit further out. It was moving slowly, again, and it was moving in the opposite direction. Over the course of two minutes it made its way across the whole horizon. It might have been a standard plane... the camera was having a hard time snapping photos that showed any detail. The only thing odd about it was the trajectory... it was moving in an arc instead of a straight line. But it never came much closer. Total duration between first photo and last photo: 26 seconds.

I have always been a sceptic about UFO's and little green men. However, what I saw has left me shaken to the core. Trawled the web and came across this site. Havent spoken about it to anyone, really dont know what to say...but I need to share this. So here goes:

I am a working professional, currently on a study break, studying strategic management. Most of my actual study is done during the day and I use the net extensively to research at night, which goes upto the early hours of the morning. Sometimes, I step out to the balcony outside to have a smoke, clear my mind or to think about something from a different perspective. On this night, I stepped out to the balcony to have a steaming hot mug of coffe and lit up a cigarette. It had been raining sporadically and the sky was overcast and dark. I was thinking about a case study and idly thinking about August 27, when Mars is supposed to come close to the earth, close enough to be distinguished with the naked eye. I remember thinking that it would be difficult to see the planet if the same weather continued and casually glanced upwards. Was a little startled to see a blob of light in the sky which looked slightly greenish, moving erratically. It was about a foot in length and looked strange....a similie would be if you packed a jet pack with starting troubles on a drunk guy? the light weaved, trying to go in a straight line, emitted small flares of light from the 'rear' and then started growing bigger suddenly. I realised that whatever it was, it was hurtling down. I kept looking at it, absolutely stunned as it increased in length. Within seconds, it had become approx. 6 foot in length, although not clearly visible because of the cloud cover. From whatever I could see, which wasnt much, it appeared like an old television antenna if viewed directly underneath.Horizontal arm like structures, which seemed to move slightly & what I presume its rear where the light was more intense, sometimes electric blue, sometimes yellow and the intensity increased in spurts. I was so stunned that I couldnt bring myself to do anything but stare. The thought, that I must take a snap of this with my still camera which has a zoom lens had just entered my mind when the light at the rear intensified, became a strange combination of blue, yellow and green, unlike anything I have seen before and the thing simply vanished. I kept staring at the sky, unable to believe what I had seen, doubting my own eyes, trying to catch another glimpse of it, whatever. Although unable to explain this rationally, this experience has left me a bit shaken and overturned my set of beliefs. As far as UFO's go, I dont know what to believe anymore.

Full Description & Details

You will probably think I am crazy. I was around 12 and walked back through my grandfather's fields to a pond where I used to catch frogs and salamanders. I left the pond and was walking back through the fields when the hair on the back of my neck went up. I thyought maybe I heard something following me but nothing was there. The location was a wide open field and it was a clear sunny day. A thought seemed to occur in my head which said "It's okay, we will not hurt you"." Look up". I saw a disc shaped object about 200 feet above me. The under side of it was a metallic grey or silver, but it was hard to tell as the sun was making me squint and that part was in shadow. I then felt a sensation that is very hard to describe. The closest thing I can compare it to is standing in front of large speakers like at a loud concert, and feeling the vibration of the sound but not hearing anything at all. I felt the vibration for a few seconds. The next thing I remember was running through the field at full speed. I think the vibration scared me into running, at least I hope so. I ran about 1/2 mile back to my house, screaming for my mother, while this thing still floated in the air above me. My mother heard me yelling and came out of the house. She also saw the ufo overing a few hundred feet in the air. This happened the summer after alot of strange lights were seen around the Catskill mountain range.

Now, we lived on the top of a high hill , near the town of Norton Hill, for quite some time and we had a clear unobstructed view of the mountains located about 25 miles away as the crow flies. We stared at this ufo for a few seconds as it hovered, then it shot across the sky and over the mountains in about 3-5 seconds, from a dead stop!!

My mom and I have not spoken about it except to each other as we suspected no one would believe us. I have since gone on to military service and law enforcement. I am familiar with all sorts of military aircraft and their capabilities. There was no way this ufo was a craft from this planet.

So, there it is. I finally spoke about it!

I was practicing the piano preparing for a competition in my corner apartment in the New Center area of Detroit. It was a bright, sunny day in February. Against a background of large, cumulous-type clouds, I saw out my window a fairly large, silver-colored spherical object hovering in mid-air. It was a good distance away-a few miles perhaps and at a considerable altitude. It shot from the left end of the cloud it was in front of to the far right end of the cloud in less than a second. It then stopped, shot downward, hovered again for a second, repeated the move in the opposite direction leftward to the end of the cloud, stopped still and then shot nearly straight up to the point where it had started. It had inscribed something like a parallelogram in these motions and then disappeared. The entire episode lasted around thirty seconds.

I grew up studying aviation and watching planes traversing the sky and have never seen any aircraft that could duplicate near-instanteous stopping and starting at incredible speeds in multiple directions.

I was standing in front of my room's door that faces the south, when I saw eight faint greenish lights in a "V" shape appearing above the roof of the house in front of my room, flying in south-north direction. I could not see the object itself, only its lights. Therefore the UFO could be of any shape. I was looking at the sky at that time because I had just seen a shooting star, and the UFO appeared in probably less than a minute later. That UFO was so elusive that if it was not for the meteor, I would never noticed it, since one could only see it by looking at strait into it.

Us 2 varsity students were travelling from Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) back to Rhodes University, Grahamstown, Cape Province, South Africa. Hitch hiking across Africa, tired, hungry and anxious to get back varsity. Had a lift with a dodgy charactar (who was on the front page of "Die Beeld" newspaper, Afrikaans, for murdering his wife and getting out of jail on parole, and who could not speak any English), driver mis-understood us, and thought we were going to Trompsburg, dumped us of side of highway, thinking he did us a favour, but we were several hundred kilometers off course, and lost at sunset. At about 7pm we were trying to camp on side of highway, but got rained on, so hiked to underpass for shelter. An hour later we started hiking again as rain stopped. We saw the lights of Trompsburg about 5 kms to west. There were small hills. A huge string of lights appeared, possibly 2 or 3 kms long. We assumed it was a train. But it was too big. Much too long, and trains only had white lights, these were coloured. They moved - without any noise at all, from left to right, right to left, up and down and every which way. We were stunned. Something happened which I can't explain - we could not do anything except watch. We wanted to turn and run, but we couldn't. We were seriously scared, but could not even blink - something had us glued to the sky. After some time, maybe 2 or 2 minutes, or 20, I don't know, the lights stopped moving to and fro, and they suddenly shot off away from us in the opposite direction, probably faster than a Saturn V rocket. The next day the local newspapers reported numerous "UFO Sightings" in the East Cape Province. I think we crapped in our pants. A true story.

Full Description & Details

On 13 August 2005 at approximately 11pm my friend and I were star gazing from a north-facing balcony in Kitsilano, a suburb of Vancouver, looking towards the night sky above Burrard Inlet and Stanley Park. We were hoping to catch the last of the Perseid meteor shower. It was a clear night but with lots of artificial sodium-light pollution. My friend pointed to an area of night sky and said there was a funny light there, I looked up just in time to see a single brilliant bluish-white flash at a fairly low level, several times larger than a star and much more intense. No more flashes appeared. My friend said he has seen 3 flashes leading up to that final flash, travelling east to west and appearing irregularly over several seconds. We thought this odd.

The following evening 14 August 2005 we were returning from Swartz Bay to Tsawassen by BC ferries on the delayed 9pm departure. As dusk turned to night we went up on top deck to star gaze, intrigued by the sighting the previous night and carrying binoculars and we scanned different sectors of the sky. It was absolutely clear, calm and mild with good visibility and some contrails from jet airliners. We saw plenty of air traffic. After a few moments my friend pointed directly overhead and said there was another light flashing. I looked up and saw a flash of brilliant light followed by three increasingly faint and smaller flashes at intervals of a few seconds and slightly off to the left of the first; it was as if a flashing object were travelling vertically but slightly diagonally at great speed. It then disappeared. We both thought wow, this is weird, two sightings in two consecutive nights.

We then watched two assumed satellites tracking extremely fast on slightly different lines from south to north and watched these disappear well out toward the horizon, perhaps taking 15 seconds to cover the whole sky distance. I pointed out a third satellite travelling slower than the first two but roughly in the same direction and we watched this until suddenly there was a brilliant flash of light from it a little over half way across the sky. I thought it had exploded but then saw the object, fainter, was still travelling on its course but this was only for a short distance then it disappeared from my view but my good-sighted friend exclaimed it had stopped dead near Polaris. We got the binoculars out but with unsteadiness of hand failed to isolate the faint object against the other stars. We were incredulous, even if the flash had simply been reflected sunlight this was no satellite behaviour. Possibly it was a meteor bouncing off the upper atmosphere but I've not seen one travel as slow or aslong as this, survive burn up to continue travelling and then stopping! We saw two meteors as well that evening and plenty of air traffic, with which we are both familiar, and I can assure that what we observed and describe above was not a case of mistaken identity for those. We would love toknow if anyone can explain what we were lucky enough to see twice in two consecutive evenings.

Full Description & Details

I was working in a frozen foods plant as a lab technician. Usually, the plant employed around 600 workers for mainly seasonal work. This particular night only 8 people were called in to work. I had to help make carboard boxes along with other people who also had high senority if we wanted to work. So, there were only 8 of us in the whole plant that night. I worked the shift from 4:30 pm to 1:00 am.

When we all left the plant, I discovered I had left my white sweather hanging on the wall where I had worked. I had started my engine but turned it off and literally ran back through the explansive plant to get it. When I got to my car, the others were almost gone and heading in the opposite direction of myself. The other employees were going to get something to eat and I declined, and went home.

From the short parking lot, one approaches a stop light. I had turned on my radio and was stopped at a red light. As I was making a left turn toward the road, I saw what appeared to be a giant globe or saucer with a flat bottom. It was bright red-orange and moving slowly across the field to my left. I couldn't believe my eyes. I kept following it for about a mile. I turned the radio off and stopped my car on the right side of the road

across from this globe. I figured it would disappear or not move. But, it DID move! I started my car again, (My car did not stop, and the radio did not go dead) and I went as slowly as I could drive without stalling. The globe was still moving, and I got out again and started to walk across the field, but fear made me wonder if I would get radiation, or worse if I disappeared and my car would be found without me in it, so I turned back to my car. It was passing me up and as it got to the edge of the field there was a farmers hlouse where the road continued at a right angle. The farmer's house lit up with a red glow and I remember wondering why no one at that house would see it with such bright intensity. As I prepared to make my right turn toward home, I decided to chech my rear view mirror, "and it was still there, moving." I did notice one vehicle going toward the road in the opposite direction and watched to see if the driver saw it, but the car kept on going. I figured the driver may have been coming from a bar that late and may not have noticed it. Then, as I got home, I jumped out of my car, ran into the house where my husband was still up and playing cards with my daughter. I begged them to come out in the back yard to see it and they took their time, saying it was too cold etc. But, my daughter ran out finally and as I looked toward the area where I had seen the sighting, it was gone! My husband worked at Vandenberg, AFB, and he checked to see if anything appeared on radar. Nothing! I was dismayed because I know what I had seen. A week later, I read in the National Enquirer that 8 red globes were seen over Italyon the same night I had seen it! I saw no windows, heard no noise, and could not make out any features. I thought the globe was taking soil samples. I did not drink or take drugs and this phenomenum was strange and I still remember it clearly. I swear what I am typing is true, not false in any way. The globe was as large as 3 houses put together. I rubbed my eyes at first and thought it was the sun going down, then I said, "jeez, it's almost 1:20 am, and looked up at the sky and could see the moon high above and to my right. Why I was alble to see it I don't know, but I do believe we are being visited.

although this happened a long time ago it is still fresh in my mind , indeed something i will never forget , i was down the bottom of our garden this cold november night , i was allowing our dogs there last exercise of the day before lock up for for them , suddenly a soft and warm melodious and strangely beautiful voice entered my head , startled i looked upwards , and was shocked to see a disc shape craft about 25 feet above my head , the voice was telling me to stay calm and not to be afraid , i was not to be hurt in any way ! ....... the craft was not big only about 25 feet across , with pulsing lights around its perimeter of the same greenish yellow colour , it took me about , well several minutes to edge my way sort of walking back wards not wanting to break visual contact with the craft , to my back door , it was a jar , i called my husband , without taking my eyes off the craft , he did not hear me but i sort of knew if i took my eyes off the craft it would be gone , i called my husband a second time this time taking my eyes off the craft , and off course when i looked back it was racing off upwards at a fantastic speed not straight but at an angel , then it dissapeared . my husband did not see the craft , the whole sighting was a full 10 minutes in all .
