Full Description & Details

While visiting my aunt and uncle in Newark, New Jersey for the 4th of July festivities I happened to be playing in my aunts grape vine covered back yard. My only source of light being from a small light outside and the kitchen window. Fireworks were going off and I could hear them echoed off in the distance.

Being the curious kid that I was, I wandered out of the back yard and into the front of the building which was located next to a brownstone in the middle of Newark( a gas station was located on the other side of the brownstone and made up the street corner). My parents and relatives were inside playing cards or something, can't really remembe(I'm not knocking their parenting skills, mind you).

What I do remember is wandering to the corner of the street by the gas station and turning to the right and witnessing a large glowing orb that pulsated as it moved slowly opposite from where I was. It seemed to be 3-4 miles away from my present location, but even at that age I could tell that what I was viewing was no firework that I had ever seen.

Fireworks would usually burst into many bright colored lights/sparks and then dissipate, but this one did not. It was not bursting or blowing up, it just kept moving slowly behind a number of buildings to my right(near Sea Side Park or the Atlantic coast). I could not hear the object, but it pulsated as if alive or energized. I cannot remember how much time passed, but I was transfixed on this thing and can't remember ever seeing it leaving. I do remember seeing it moving very slowly behind the buildings travelling North, but I can't recall seeing it blink out, disappear or zip away which is common in most UFO cases.

I'm more than willing to be "put under" hypnosis or regression therapy to see if I can recall anything else. It would have to be on the weekend when I'm off from work. I'll try to supply you with an artisitic representation of my sighting as soon as I can. This is the God's honest truth. I would not lie about this.

E-mail me when you want a picture. I can use Photoshop to create an image for you. I'd like to go back to the spot of the sighting and take a picture from the same perspective I had years ago and create an image from that, but that particular area of New Jersey is very unsafe now.

Shape of Object(s)

spiral lights

Color of Object(s):

bright white

Full Description & Details

When I encountered this pulsation of spirals at the intersection of Lower and Sheffler Roads, it was a slightly foggy night, and the lights appeared to be on the other side of thin clouds. I stopped and watched it for a while thinking they were kleig lights for a party. The lights stayed to my left as I wound around hairpin turns on Sheffler to Cosh roads. I was alarmed as this is all fields, no roads that a vehicle could have driven on with lights projecting up. Then I realized the lights were beaming down from above as they pulsed about every 3-4 seconds from the center. It looked to be about 1/4 mile high and about 70-80 feet in diameter.

I became more alarmed as I realized it kept pace with me as I went left on 284 and made the right onto Main St. I stopped in front of the post office and the lights hung there. I was panicked as I pulled into my driveway 2 blocks up. I was afraid to get out of my car as the lights pulsed over my back yard. I ran into the house and checked the windows periodically for about 5 minutes and it was still there. I have seen similar lights but not as spectacular 6 times since. The next time was the following Spring of 01 when I saw them leaving my father's in Mountainside NJ, and was able to see them from Rt. 22 until Kenilworth. It was Easter sunday night. I have not kept track of the subsequent dates unfortunately. Then the follwing Spring I had an arc of pulsating light accompany me home in the rain at 11:30 pm I was glad to see it and stepped out to be with them in my back yard. It gradually faded in intensity but lasted about 20 minutes or more total. Last Feb. 2004 I saw them one Thursday night over Great Gorge Resort in Vernon NJ. My friend and I were in an outdoor pool, and she saw them but thought it was some kind of a party attraction lights. This was a circle of spirals seen at a distance of 1-2 miles away at 9:30 pm. As before it appeared to be a flat projection from above but this time of about 6 spirals. Then I saw this same version two more times, this past June in the distance between Unionville and Sussex and it lasted about 15 minutes as I walked a friend home at about 10 pm. The last time I saw these lights was at 11:45 pm at the end of last Summer one weeknight driving home. They were on the South side of Rt 284 as I drove West toward Unionville approaching Westtown.

Full Description & Details

This is a sighting of what I am assuming is the same object over a two week period. I saw this object 3 different times.

The first time I saw this object was on Sept. 7, 2004 at around 8:30 P.M.. I had just finished supper and went out on my porch to have a smoke. As I looked up, I noticed a very bright star about 30 degrees above the southeast horizon. I am an avid sky-watcher and have enjoyed amateur astronomy from a young age. This star confused me. It was in the constellation Capricorn which does not have any stars of this magnitude. I also knew there were no bright planets in this constellation at this time.

So I was wondering what this was. It was sitting still in the sky. It was a very bright white like Venus or Jupiter, but not brilliant. It was large for a star, about the size of a BB held at arms length. After watching it about 10-15 seconds, it suddenly appeared to start moving. Using a telephone wire for reference, I could see it very slowly, almost imperceptibly decending lower in the sky. Then very suddenly, this object did a loop and took off toward the south. If you can imagine a clock and this object being in the center, it shot downward to about 8 o'clock position. Then it moved in a smooth curve as moving through 7, 6, 5, and 4 o'clock positions. Then it shot off quickly toward the south. This loop movement was very fast, much quicker than the many planes I see every night. Also as it shot off it dimmed in magnitude. It went from a white color to slightly bluish, to greenish before fading out of view. At the last it looked like a small transparent ball, like a crystal ball. I ran inside and got a pair of binoculars I use for star-gazing but could not locate it.

The second sighting was several days later on Sept. 12. Again, I had gone out on my porch. It was around 8 P.M. This was a little earlier, and the western sky still had some light. I looked to my right (Southwest) and saw what I believed to be this same object, only now it appeared much lower in the sky (I estimate maybe 1000 feet). It was travelling from the southeast toward the northeast. It was travelling slowly, I estimate 100-150 MPH. I ran in quickly and got my binoculars to look at this object. Through binoculars it appeared the same, only slightly larger. It just appeared to be a ball of white light. To the eye it looked about the size of a pea held at arms length. It passed directly over me. It was completely silent. It flew to the northeast horizon. Then it took on a reddish hue, dimmed and blinked out.

My third sighting was about a week later. This occured around 11:30 P.M.. This time I saw what I assume is the same object (it looked the same). This time it appeared at high altitude. It was travelling from the southeastern sky toward the southwest. It was behaving very oddly this time, I will try to describe it. It would move in a straight line about the speed an airliner crosses the sky. Then, it would dip down slightly and appear to "slide" very quickly for a distance. Then it would dip again and travel at the original slower speed again. Then it would dip again, and again slide at a much quicker pace for a distance. It was a very unusual zig-zag type of pattern. It did this zig-zag type pattern about 4 times before flying off at the original speed.

Now, I look for this object all the time, but I have not seen it since.

A loose V-shaped formation of 20 or so lights/flares(?) that floated overhead. After the first formation passed out of sight, a second flew overhead in the exact same direction.

Full Description & Details

Myself and two friends were walking home when we saw it. The object moved in a loose V-formation. It appeared to be not far overhead, maybe around the altitude of a jet. 20 or so distinctly bright lights flew overhead, moving slightly in relation to one another, not staying in perfect formation. It was reminiscent of geese flying in a V, but not staying in perfect formation. We watched it until it went out of sight and could no longer be seen. Immediately after, a second V passed overhead. On this one, we could see in the formation of lights other lights (of the exact same brightness and color) passing from one side of the V to the other, what looked like flares shooting out. After this one passed out of sight, no more were seen.

One of these friends and I had seen another one of these V's about a month earlier, the night of the full lunar eclipse, on October 27. We thought we were seeing things, but now we had a third person with us, and saw the exact same thing.

Full Description & Details

I was doing security work for Piedmont security.We had a site that we watched,it was a strobe on a tower,that kept malfunctioning.If the strobe stopped working,I was to report it to my boss who would call the appropriate person in charge.It was cold and crystal clear.I was in my jeep,and the situation was so informal,that my wife was allowed to tag along and keep me company.It was after midnight,I kept turning my engine over to keep us warm,and we were on a hill,or a rise that gave me a view over the entire landscape below.All the sudden,a gold---not amber,not yellow--but GOLD light rose up from the horizon and alternated like 2 gold lights,it turned red,then shot left,diagonally up into the sky,leaving a glittery glowing streak that quickly dissappeared.I tried to get my dispatcher,but we were far from our base and I could barely get him from time to time.I was in the military,Im a trained observer,and Im not saying that this light was an alien spacecraft.All I want to know is just what was it?Do we have vehicles that can do such things?After seeing it,I realized rather quickly that I wished I hadnt seen it.I hate not knowing.I told my boss,and he was not shocked,but he said I'd never get an answer,besides the local police dept saw a strange light with him one night at a location we were guarding.I just want to know if anyone has seen anything similar.My wife was asleep and when I woke her up she was just sorry she has missed it,it all happened so fast.

Dont get freaked out about the "hillbillywarlord" or the fact that Im a rural guy...hell I also live in a mobile home...and we are the only types that seen to see UFO's as the comedians point out.Im also more into cryptozoology than I am in UFO's,and last year,My wife and my Daughter and my self saw lights playing in and out od small clouds after a snowstorm on Feb 28th of last year,if my memory serves me right.We also witnessed black objects that were round except for a flat bottom portion....if you are interested in it,let me know...these things seem to go nowhere.

Full Description & Details

Myself and three others were walking home from a park behind an abandoned store. I was walking and talking to this guy beside me, and we were joking around. My friend was walking pretty far a head of us with her boyfriend.

Her boyfriend had mentioned just a moment before about seeing a light, and then dismissed it to walk with his girlfriend. This left myself and the guy I was walking with a good 30 feet (maybe a little more) behind them. The guy next to me mentioned something flying above us, so I looked up. At first glance it looked like a plane, or maybe even a falling star.

But as I looked at it, I realized it was moving too slow to be a plane or falling star. Then as it was 'falling' toward the west, it stopped. It stayed completely still for a bit, and then it started to rise back up in the sky toward the east. When it moved it had a brilliant tail of light that followed it. It had a very bright light on its tip (what I am going to call the nose or head of the object). The two base corners had dimmer lights, one of which seemed to be turned off. The middle (belly of object) was hard to make out because it was dark. With the lights, I could kind of make out some kind of shape in the middle of the triangle, but couldn't see it too clearly.

Then, as we crossed the main street, I turned around and around to try and find it again, but it was gone. It made no noise, and was fairly close so I should have heard something if it was an aircraft. The entire event took anywhere from 5 minutes to maybe 8 at most. I'm not sure if my friend and her boyfriend saw it, as they were talking to one another, but I know the guy that I was walking with saw it, he seemed as amazed as I was. It seemed to be observing things below; it was diffidently not a normal airplane, or helicopter.
