Full Description & Details



It was Monday morning on July 11, 2005 at 1:00 am. I had just gotton home from an evening out with my boyfriend. As soon as i got home i went upstairs to my bedroom, got changed and then went to the bathroom to get washed up ready for bed. By this time it was around 1:15 am. Before I go to bed, I would always call my boyfriend so he would know I got home ok. So I had called him. Lying down on my bed in the dark talking to my boyfriend, and the way that I was lying down I was facing my window. My curtains were pulled aside at this time and staring out I noticed this bright white light twinkling in the sky. About 1000- 2000 km away. I'm guessing. I told my boyfriend that I see this beautiful looking bright white star in the sky. And I wish he could see it. But as I stared at it in amazment I noticed red flashing lights around it. Just flashing on the top, left, right, then bottom. It was hard to see where exactly the red light was flashing but i knew for sure it was flashing in different areas around the white light. Not thinking really much of anything at this point but knowing that now that defineatly it wasn't a star. I told my boyfriend of the red flashing lights then I had assumed that it was an airplane going by. Which still in this case it's unsual because we don't have many airplanes that fly over our house normally. It was obviously too high to be an airplane and too low to be a star. So i ignored it and continued my conversation. Still staring out my window at the bright white light i noticed It wasn't moving. It was in the same spot for a long time. Which is unusual. So i asked my bf what time it was. He told me it was around 1:30. So i knew that we had been talking for awhile and still the bright flashing white light was in the sky in the same exact spot but moving up and down in slow motion. I told my bf. And he said maybe i'm seeing a UFO. I was in denial and scared at the same time. Not believing what I was seeing. So by now all i was doing was decribing it to him. What it looked like, and what it was doing. I didn't want him to get off the phone with me because i was really scared. He offered to come by and see it for himself because he too had experienced something similar to what i was decribing. My boyfriend lives about 40 minutes away from me. So i told him not too because by the time he gets to my place maybe it would be gone by then and plus he had to wake up early for work in 5 hrs. So i just told him to stay on the phone. I kept staring at it in shock and fear. By this time I was on the phone for another hr around 2:30am. Then i saw it slowly fading in the sky, what was a once bright white medium size object was now a little white spec in the sky. It seemed to me like it was moving further away and fading slowly. But then 10 minutes later it would come back. And then faded again. Then came back. And then it stayed for awhile. I was so astonished and amazed. Words can not describe how I was feeling at that moment. At this time my bf had told me to get a camera but i didn't know where one had been at that time and plus i was really scared. So i went to wake up my two sisters and had told them what i was seeing outside my window and they refused to reply. I don't blame them knowing it was around 2- 2:30 am. So i went back to my room and waited to see it dissapear but it hadn't. It just looked like it was fading and it would come back. By this time i was exhuasted and scared so i called it a night and slept in my sisters room for the night. Later in the morning at 7:00 am. I had woken up and went to my bedroom to see if it was still there. And it was gone. The sky was clear.

Sure You see it on t.v and in movies and I never believed in UFOs. But this night on July 11. 2005 around 1:30 am. I now believe what I saw and i hope everyone will one day witness what I have. I have so many questions and answers but don't know where to get them. So i've been online researching to find out why are they here? and what do they want?.

* If anyone has experienced something similar to this please write back because this is something that we can not ignore.

Other Comments

I know my story is hard to believe. Even I myself didn't believe in UFOs or if at all anything of this sort. But this is what happened and this is what I saw and i really hope that someone with this similar experience will write back to me to tell me about your experience....because this is so fasinating and can not be ignored!.

Full Description & Details

Me and two of my friends went camping when we were 15 and 16 years old. About the time we were going to bed. Which is on lawnchairs outside under a tree. I guess we did not want to make the tent cause it was so pretty that night. It was about 11:30 pm or so. We were on the edge of a field under a tree. I had just closed my eyes when I heard something from one of my friends. I asked him what he said and he suddenly said get quiet. I was confussed and didn't know what he was talking about. We were all kinda in a circle faceing each other. I was faceing west and my two friends were faceing east. Well about that time I saw something moveing above me. It was moveing about 7 to 10 mph. It was about 50 ft in the air. It was about 100ft across. It was moveing directly over us but never stoped. It had a light in each of the three corners. It slowly moved on out over the field and turned right. We lost sight of it at that time. My friends were scared but I was more curious. About 3 or 5 minets later from the same direction we see the same one or a different one. I'm not sure because we lost sight of it. But the craft did the same thing as before, same path and evrything. A few minets later the same thing happened. So we ether saw 3 different crafts or the same one 3 times. After the third pass from the craft I couldn't take it any more, I had to get a better look. I took off running into the field which the craft was still above. It turned north and was moveing that direction. About that time I made it to my tripod deerstand wich is in the middle of the field. My friends were angry when I took off. So i'm up in the deer stand watching it still going north when by my surprise my friends show up under my stand asking where it is. Moments later it looks like it is landing about a half mile north of us. Then I could hear the cows in that field going crazy. I've never heard cows makeing that much noise. That was the last time we saw it.

Full Description & Details

I was riding with my quartet on the highway when I spotted a very bright star. I was in the back of the car to the right. I noticed that maybe that wasn't a star ad was probably a planet. it was completely stationary and was just a single bright light when I first spotted it. I told my quartet to look at it. they all looked and we were debating on what it was. I was convinced it was a star. one of my quartet members thought it was an airplane tower. it was not blinking tho and no pole was visible. we finally got close enough to see it was an aircraft. it had 2 white lights on each side i believe and a red light in the middle. it looked disc or saucer shaped judging on where the lights were. but it was too dark for us really to see a shape and semi-far distance. the air craft started moving slowly and another aircraft just like it appeared next to it. I don't know if it suddenly appeared but when I looked again we saw it. they were pretty close to each other and were moving. we drove a little while away from them and then I saw another one just like the other 2. and my quartet saw it also. it was stationary as well and then moved I believe. I could't really tell the direction they were moving because it was so dark. it was strange and unlike me to mistake an aircraft for a star or planet. that is what made me really suspicious of what it is. i just hope that other people in my area saw it becuase I really want to know what it is. I don't know the area code because I was driving with my quartet back from a wedding gig in Marietta, georgia. we live in Georgia but for privacy reasons I rather not say. I just would really like to know what i saw.

Witness Background

I am a violinist and am pretty interested in star consolations and science and other subjects of the sort. I have never seen a UFO before but hope I can see another if in fact these objects were UFO's... I would just like to know if anyone in Marietta saw an extremely bright star that when gotten closer to it was actually an aircraft.

Other Comments

I hope u see me as a credible source and do not discard me because I do not wish for my personal business to be shown. I just want to know if u find any other reports of people sighting 3 strange objects near 285 south in Marietta, Georgia.

Full Description & Details

My friend Mike and myself were driving on RT 22 in NY state Brewster? We were lost. I remember seeing a large body of water on the passenger side of the car before the sighting. As we were on this road we were lost and just as I looked as the gas gauge on my friends car I noticed it was almost empty. I started to bring that to his attention when the car reached the peak of a small hill, my friend exclaimed "Look, theres a UFO!" . I looked out of the window and saw a HUGE formation of lights taht looked to be fixed on some sort of craft. I rolled down the window and the thing was going perfectly straight. The lights were blue, red, yellow, green, with a large amber half circle protruding from direct middle. The lights glowed but seemed to emit zero light. It made no sound. It flew directly over our car about 30 to 40 ft above. At this point I became very confused/ frightened even though it was flying away. It flew over a house in the woods by the road, the house had no lights on inside then disappeared over the trees. When we finally gassed up I was so shook up I told the guy to keep the change and we got out of the area--

I would be interested to talk to sombody who saw the disk and not the boomarang

I will send a sketch alongif you want. {When we got home that night my disbelieveing buddys brother made us go in seperate rooms a draw it. We both emerged with the same complicated type drawing.} Drawing will come by mail.

Full Description & Details

I was a US Air Force GCA radar air traffic controller working a midnite shift with 2 other people. This was in Jan/Feb 1958 at Eilson AFB, 20 miles south of Fairbanks Alaska. Our principal duties at this base was to host several types of recon aircraft including U-2's, RB 66's, RB 36's and a group of SAC B 47's. About 2-3am I observed a target on our search radar (MPN-11) which was able to fly over 5,000mph and make turns instantly of over 90 degrees! I called my team mates and we all observedthe target. We contacted other radar sites including the GCA site @ Ladd AFB in Fairbanks, a Dewline radar station about 50 miles north and even an Army radar directed Anti aircraft gun site on our base. All confirmed the sightings including the radar guns which tracked the target. Air Force practice is that the first contact (us0 becomes the primary and all other sites coordinate through us. Our search radar antenna could be both raised and lowered and gave us a max range of about 20-30 miles and 50-55,000 feet. This feature enabled us to more accurately tell height and distance from our sight. The target continued to stay in the area and we continued to follow it within the limitations of our equipment. As the primary contact, we received reports from the others who would confirm the extreme speed and turns of the target when it was out of our range. We continued to track the target and observe its speed and turning until about 6-8 am when both a helicopter and a T33 from Ladd AFB (now Fairbanks Int'l) where dispatched to visually inspect since the target seemed to be hovering over Ladd AFB. We couldn't believe our ears when they reported that all they observed was an ice cloud(temperature inversion) over the Ladd AFB power station!

At that time, we had observed nothing for an hour or so. We were required to write up all the details on our shift log before we signed off our shift. Because of the extremely secret operations conducted at Eilson AFB during that period, we were told to shut up and not discuss any further. Since I was a 20 year old kid directing spy planes during the Cold War, I didn't argue. We were never interviewed again about the incident.

Witness Background

I was an AF air traffic controller rated to work both tower and GCA (radar) form 1956 -1960. After that date, I worked in a variety of occupations mainly sales. I am currently semi retired and operate my own fire suppression company. I was on the FAA task group for cargo bay fire suppression and testified in the U.S. Congress regarding aircraft fire suppression after the ValuJet tragedy.

Full Description & Details

This photo was taken by my grandfather Cecil Barthelow while on a B-52 bombing mission supporting the 1st Marines sometime before or after Guadalcanal. None of the witnesses (4 full crews of B-52s) believe this to have been any Japanese aircraft because of its speed and shape, nor any American aircraft because they could not accomplish any form of contact. This photograph had long been in a small diary and scrapbook of Cecil's, which was recently discovered on a basement bookshelf, and has not yet been subject to study or research.

Full Description & Details

A college buddy invited my girlfriend and I over for his birthday. Some of us are amateur astronomers and so we had a couple of high-powered telescopes set up in our buddy's backyard. We were looking at Saturn and Jupiter and a couple of galaxies. Clear skies, no wind, perfect conditions for stargazing. The two guys pointing the telescopes were busy trying to find stuff to look at while the rest of us sat around staring at the sky and eating cheeze and crackers. I was sitting in a chair and my girlfriend was on my lap. My girlfriend, myself, and several others who were just standing around were all looking at the sky. We were facing south when I noticed a moving light to the east over our mountains. I always LOOK for ufos, so I turned my attention to it. Unfortunately, it was just a normal commercial plane heading towards our city airport off to the south. While I was watching the plane out of boredom I noticed a second object coming from the east and traveling west, but much, MUCH closer to us than the plane. Right as I lift my arm to show my girlfriend, she jumps up and points to it herself, along with everyone else who was looking up (you would have to be blind not to notice it). The object was shaped like a nearly flattened egg. I grew up literally two miles away from Kirtland Air Force Base and I know planes and jets when I see them. This was the strangest thing I have ever seen, and it gave me goosebumps to watch it. It moved very fast across our view, heading almost due west. When it reached the point to where it was due south of where we were it veared very sharply and shot off the the south-southwest, fast enough to shock us with it's speed, but slowly enough for us to notice that it was going up at about a 35 degree angle until we lost it in the stars. Lasted just long enough for everyone to get a excellent view of it. Object's initial altitude was about 200ft. Its apparent size was about as big as your pinky fingernail if it was shaped like a flattened egg. No lights were emitted from object, yet the city lights from Albuquerque reflected off the bottom clearly enough to give a great detailed look at the object. Couldn't estimate airspeed, but object traveled from east horizon to point between us and due south in about six seconds, and it took less than three seconds to disappear from sight after vector change. Everyone had goosebumps (some of these witnesses were Air Force personnel), and no one could identify it as a know aircraft. It was the topic of discussion for the rest of the night, and it is something that I will personally never forget.

Witness Background

College student. Certified Radiation Control Technician. Mother works for Sandia National Laboratories as a Nuclear Engineer. Very strong scientific background in my family. Lived right outside the gates of Kirtland Air Force Base for years as a child, and I am very good at naming aircraft on sight. Believe strongly in extraterrestrial life, but never believed that I would witness something that I would have believed to be a ufo. This has been a life-changing event, and every night I stare at the stars waiting to catch another glimpse.

Full Description & Details

We were all standing on a deck at a house on top of the Sumerset Hill neighborhood in Bellevue, WA. Let me note that we were all sober and of a clear state of mind. I have told this story to many people over the years but never to an organization. I am not one to make things up, and this event was probably one of the most mystifying (perhaps almost scary) things I have observed.

At first the large orange lighted object appeared very small to me, and I mentioned it another I was with. It was then that I realized it was much farther away than I originally thought by comparing it to objects near it, such as the space needle and other sky scrapers. It resembled a immense orange blimp perhaps as large as six sky scrapers bundled together. It appeared to rotate so that the back faced us directly and than it flashed like a star twinkle with a slight tracer like effect veering upwards and was gone from all of our sight in an instant. Everyone on that deck recalls it the same as I do and to this day we cannot find any explanation for the strange orange blimp-like light/object over Seattle, I would love to know if there is some sort of celestial or atmospheric explanation.

Witness Background

Graduated High School in 2003, currently getting my Bachelors degree at the Seattle Art Institute; and considering an additional degree in a business related major at the University of Washington.

Full Description & Details

At approximately 10:15 pm last night (July 04, 2005), while watching fireworks in my front yard, I noticed a steady red light suddenly appear in the Western sky, which then began moving quickly across the sky from West to East. My best estimation (based on the perspective of the fireworks going off in the sky around me) is that the object was about 15,000 - 20,000 feet up. We thought at first that it might be an aircraft, but the red light never flashed nor changed colors as commercial running lights do. Though, it did "pulse" several times.

The object traveled from West to East (toward Mt. Rainier) for about 3 minutes, then stopped almost directly above our neighborhood (a trick of perspective I'm sure), hovered for about 4 - 5 minutes, then began to move slowly north for another minute or so, stopped and as it began moving north again quickly faded out.

The object was captured on at least two video cameras that I know of, though the object was far enough away that the quality of the image on zoom is not great. There was one point in looking at the footage that my mom shot where the object almost appeared cylindrical.

I have no idea what it may have been, but apparently my neighbor saw exactly the same thing, that behaved in the same way, two nights earlier at approximately the same time. She also witnessed last night's "show".

Additional information submitted along with the image:

"Attached is a photo of the red pulsating object that quickly approached our neighborhood from the west as just about every street in our development was setting off huge fireworks on July 4, 2005. The object veered over to our neighborhood and just hovered over us as the neighbors shot off their fireworks. The object was about 3 times the size of a large star and pulsated. It stayed stationary for about 15 minutes. A friend and I each took tape videos of it, and I also took digital video clips and some digital still shots. The audio on the videos has the neighbors (probably about 15+ were present) discussing the object and wondering what it was. After hovering for awhile, it suddenly disappeared. Our neighborhood is in Puyallup, WA. The time of the event was from about 10:15 p.m. to about 10:30. Don't want my name published--just wondering what it was and if anyone else saw it."
