Full Description & Details

MY sister and I were outside in our front yard on May 10th at about 10:30 PM and noticed this object which was traveling from the SW to to NE, then traveled due North as it was over us. It's speed was very slow. When we fiest saw it coming from the SW we saw three lights almost in line with one another as approached. The object then changed position until we determined it was a Triangle about 40 to 50 feet above the ground and maybe 20 feet above the house tops. We noticed that it did not cast a shadow or had any noise at all. It slowly traveled North until we lost sight of it.

The lights were very bright at the points, but no shadows or light projections were seen as a shearch light would project. We are faxing a sketch to 309-402-0673

Full Description & Details

I was out nightsky watching like I usually am on clear nights when suddenly I realized there was an object that had appeared and was already quite low. I would say that it was about 2000 to 3000 feet from the ground and moving very slowly at approximately 30 km/h. The object was quite big, it reminded me of a barge on the bottom but barges are usually rectangular and this was circular on the bottom. Above that, on the middle part of it, there was a part protruded out from the rest of the object. Above this protruded part were its lights which were huge and red and orange/yellow and each looked like it had its own rotating luminence. These lights were square with rounded corner shaped but were not shining on anything in particular. I could see at least five lights but I knew there were more going all the way around that part of the object.

The lights were illuminating the top part just enough for me to be able to tell that this part was at least the same length as the center and bottom parts together. The colour from what I could see of the object was grey. It did not make any noise. From where I first saw it, it moved slowly descending lower in altitude. I was dumbstruck and then finally remembered to go in my house to phone my nightsky watching friend to tell her to check this out. She did go outside after I called her and told me she saw the same thing. The object was flying Northeast along the Koksoak River. After I phoned my friend I came back out to my back porch but by that time, my house was already blocking my view of it. The only other movement of objects that I saw that night were much much higher than this big one that I saw.

Other Comments

I live in a small town and have already heard that there was a young boy who saw big lights around the same time that night. I also know several other skywatchers who have seen unknown objects in the sky at night and in the daytime. I also have heard of sightings in this area for years and being an avid stargazer (more like I only look for moving objects) for the past few years, this was really my most exciting night so far.

For a sketch, what I would provide you would be very similar to one of your photos on your webpage. It is the fourth photo from the left. What I saw was like what is showing in this picture. My friend saw the same thing.

While on holiday to Romania, I decided to go outside from my cousin's house and smell the fresh summer air. I looked towards the few stars in the sky, that's when I noticed a small, circle like object hovering near a star. I told my cousin about it and showed it to him. He couldn't believe it neither. He first thought it was a satellite but it was white and blue-ish. I couldn't tell.

Received an email from a Clifton, Virginia man, reporting that his wife witnessed something strange late in the night, during a storm that hit our area the previous day (Clifton is approximately 12 miles west of Springfield, in which Multiple luminous spheres during thunderstorm I reside). Email sighting account in part: "We had a power outage last night and my wife was awakened by the answering machine clicking on and off as the power tried to recover, and then it went out completely. She went to the front door to see if it was raining or windy and saw a very large object hovering over a nearby house about an 1/8 of a mile from our house. It was larger than the house, seemed to be at an angle to her view with the bottom exposed and had lights all around it evenly spaced. When it began to move away, several lightning flashes were seen and then it was gone. The power returned two hours later".

A second email was received the next day stating that he had a chance to talk to his wife about this sighting and he added that it would seem that his wife might have actually observed "balls of lightning". He also wrote: "what she describes sounds just like a multiple ball lightning display which she says disappeared as she watched it, and then a bolt of lightning went up into the space above the house from the ground to where the lights had appeared to be".

A little more details were obtained during a telephone interview that was conducted March 31st. Sighting took place around 12:30 AM, March 23, during a thunderstorm, as she was facing south, towards Manassas. The length of the appearance lasted just a few seconds, from the "balls of light" formation to the vertical lightning flash.

It is my belief that this incident may have been a natural, Rare Atmospheric Phenomena (RAP) involving multiple ball lightning, or Mobile Luminous Spheres. To be a witness of one or two of these lightning balls are rare but witnessing a group of ten or more is phenomenal! According to Dominion Virginia Power website, their electrical outage legend summary dated 3/23/2005, indicated that there were about 24 homes that were affected by this storm in the Northern Virginia's Fairfax County area.

March 23rd temperature: 44 degrees, cloudy with rain, average humidity 81, wind 13 mph NE.

On vacation in Salt Lake City. My wifes uncle was gassing up their blazer and I was admiring the blue sky and puffy clouds. I was watching what I thought was at first a bird... It was making counter-clockwise circles, about 4 arc-seconds diameter. As i was watching it I noticed that it was pretty high up there.. the craft was about 1/2 arc-second wide and (don't laugh) looked like the Bat-Jet from the bat-man movies...

The whole thing lasted for 10 sec 'till I looked away for a perspective check. I looked back up and it was gone. Once the vehicle was gassed up and her uncle got back in I did another check and I saw (the same object?) travel in a straight line, from one cloud to another. Then it was gone for good... too fast for a jet/plane.

Full Description & Details

I spotted the UFO while driving Southeast on Interstate 10 at around 9:00 PM on Friday, April 29, 2005. Just before the I-75 exit, I saw a long orange beam of light slanted at an approximate 20 degree angle (from the horizon) off to my right, just above the tree line. At first I thought it was a glare of light on my windshield, possibly from a street lamp. As I passed under I-75 and away from any light sources, it was very clear that the light source came from the sky.

From my point of view, the beam of light was lowest to the right and highest to the left. The beam was narrow and long; from my standpoint, it appeared as a few centimeters wide and 6 to 10 inches long, although this is obviously a very rough estimate. It also seemed to have a point of origin from which the orange streak emanated. At the point of origin the light was whiter and of a higher intensity and located on the high/upper end of the streak. Based on this observation, it presented the appearance of a rocket or shuttle launch. There were no reported launches for April 29.

The object moved across my field of vision from right to left as I headed Southeast on I-10; thus it appeared to be moving North. Several minutes into its flight, as it appeared to cross the center of I-10, two additional points of light appeared and the orange streak disappeared. The two additional points of light appeared above and below the main point of light which continued on its original trajectory to the North. The two additional points of light initially moved away from the central point in opposite directions. Several seconds later these points of light lost their brilliance and appeared to fall slowly toward earth. My speculation at the time was that these were perhaps booster rockets which detached and were falling back to earth after their fuel was spent. Several seconds after detaching from the main point of light the smaller two points of light became invisible.

The main point of light continued to the North, seemingly on the same trajectory or path across the sky for several minutes.

Probably 10 to 15 minutes after noticing the original streak of light, the small point of light that had continued North was now far to my left; yet still well above the tree line on the left side of the road. Suddenly, the point of light appeared to explode in a large ball of white light. The ball of light expanded outward from it’s point of origin at a high velocity; quickly reaching a larger than moon-sized circumference from my point of view; before quickly fading away completely. The outer ring of this ball of light was bright white, and the interior of it was a muddled gray/white; it appeared as though jagged streaks of white electricity emanated from the central location of the “explosion” outward to the ring that formed the outer barrier of the sphere. The entire “explosion” lasted only several seconds, perhaps five or so, before the sphere faded. The sphere itself reminded me somewhat me of those plasma balls you see in science gift shops or Spencer’s. Except that there was no inner “ball” from which the streaks of light came from, and a solid, thick, white, outer edge to the sphere.

After the white spherical “explosion” faded there was no trace of the UFO. My fiancé was witness to this event.

Full Description & Details

It was one warm summer Friday around 10:00 PM in the evening in California's Santa Clarita Valley. I was brushing the swimming pool with a long pole and attached brush so that the kids could swim the following day. The pole requires you reach up to push down. I was standing on a high platform next to the pool about 4 feet over the rest of the pool area. As I reached to upper end of pole, I saw a craft approaching the house from the West and heading South East. It was about one block away.

I knew right away that it was not a helicopter or plane. It seemed flatter and wider and with lights in a circumference of the main frontal area. I ran towards the house and called my family to see it. Only my wife came out. By that time it was directly over our house and pool. It was approximately 75-100 feet above us. We stood along side of pool. It made no sound whatsoever, and it was at a complete stopped over us for about 40 seconds. The only motion was a slight wobble and when it moved downward at an angle. Duringthat time, we were frozen in disbelief. It is a strange sensation knowing that what you are seeing is not supposed and very foreign.

The craft was about 75-100 feet in diameter. It had small porthole and lights around it in the upper dome section, it was solid, metallic and shiny. There was a dome above it and attached to the body with no visible separation, as if it were molded as one solid craft.. The under section was concave towards the center and had two rectangular shapes along side each other and the length of the concave diameter. The rectangular shapes was about 7-10 feet in width and as along as the craft's concave underside center. I also noticed ski like devices on the front and on each side of the front leading edge window. What caught my attention was that the devices were not in the center or the center of gravity for the craft's design but very forward. The skis were S shaped with the top of the S facing forward. Upon the craft leaning in a downward motion we could see a window or cockpit like glass that was situated in the underside of the frontal leading edge. It was on the front lower edge of the round craft. The rectangular window was approximately 4 feet in height and possibly 12-15 feet in length. There was a glow of soft orange and blue lights from the inside but we could not see anyone or any controls.

It remained at a forward and downward angle for about 10 seconds. We both had the sensation of being watched. As it was angled, I noticed that light was reflecting from the upper section that was not facing the swimming pool lights. Thus, it seemed to generate light throughthe skin of the craft as the lights that first attracted me faced forward and were much lower than the upper section of the craft.

My wife and I did not say anything to each other during the experience but she kept saying "oh my God" over and over again. The craft then left slowly at 30-40 MPH. I jumped on a wall around our property to continue seeing for at least 7-miles. I instructed my wife not to discuss it, to draw what she saw and then we would compare drawings. They matched, although mine had more detail and accuracy.

My background include Group Propulsion Systems and later as an executive with several major computer companies. What we saw was close, real, solid, and a beautiful designed craft. I know from my aeronautical engineering background that mankind has no such technology

Full Description & Details

Lieing in bed and looking out my window, I noticed a large, bluish white object moving slowly in the night sky. I followed it with my eyes, trying to figure out what it was. Norton AFB was only a few miles south east and the object seemed to have been near that area. I was used to seeing airplanes, but this was definitely not the case. As an aviation fan, I could tell the difference between a plane, a helicopter, and this unusual object. It hovered and drifted from place to place without any apparent flight path. It was bright and pulsated slightly. It ws not reflecting any light; it was generating it.

Shortly, it was joined by two other objects of slightly smaller size. They appeared to start "shooting" smaller objects at it. The first used evasive action and attempted to speed away; the other two in pursuit. I watched this aerial "dog fight" for several minutes as they "danced" around the night sky. At last, they sped away together at high speed. I saw them again at much greater altitude, but as they climbed, they became more and more difficult to see. I related this sighting to my parents, but they remained sceptical of the event; much to my resentment.

Two nights later, I was watching out the same window hoping to see them again. To my surprise, the back yard lit up as if the sun was rising directly overhead. The neighbor's yard, however, was still quite dark (which didn't make sense at the time). I ran to the window and looked up to see a large, yellow-orange object moving silently and slowly over our house. As it came directly overhead, it was far too bright to look at. Looking down, I could clearly see details on the ground that I probably couldn't have seen in daylight. This is difficult to explain, but it was unforgetable. The object froze directly overhead for approximately 15 secs and then began to drift silently again in the same direction as before.

I ran from my room to convince my father to go outside and see it. He looked up and saw a bright light over the house, but presumed it to be a police helicopter spotlight. I told him there was no sound from it and if he hurried, he could see it drifting away for himself. Still sceptical, my father's police radio broke the silence by reporting multiple sightings being called in for an unidentified aerial object. His hobby was listening to the calls and several started coming across about the light in the sky. We stood there staring at each other for a moment and then ran out of the house into the front yard.

We stood there for several minutes watching a large, yellow-orange, eliptical mass drift slowly away. I will never forget that event. If I could recall the exact date, police records might still exist of the calls, but this was a long time ago. Now, 35 years later, I only remember the event and standing in my shorts in the street (but not the date).

I estimate the first objects to be at an altitude of a few hundred feet and the final object less than fifty feet from the ground. It was large and would have easily measured 30 feet in diameter. It was too close to look at directly when overhead due to it's brightness, but the color was an unmistakable yellow-orange. I've thought about this ever since and cannot say it's color was homogenous. It was like looking directly into a bright fire and trying to guess it's hue. There were shades of red, but orange and yellow stand out in my mind. I thought I would have been burned from the intensity, but cannot say that I was. I felt I would have been blinded if I tried to look at it much longer when it was directly overhead. I've never felt ill-intent from it, I was simply in it's path, but it did pause directly over me before drifting away. It's path was an arc and it turned south. I watched it from the street (D St) and noted it then slowly turned east before moving out of sight and disappearing. I never saw it again and can't say if it continued to fly away or simply went dark. It just passed through my life in a most unforgetable way.
