Appearance / Description of Object(s)

I could not see the shape of the objects because of the darkness in the sky but they were probably oblong, like a cigar, or saucer-shaped with us having seen the side view of the saucer. The configuration of the three lights brought me to this conclusion about the shape of the object.

Size of Object(s)

They appeared to be about 75 - 100 feet in length or diameter for actual size and about the size of half of my small fingernail with my arm fully extended for relative size.

Description of Area / Surroundings

The area over which the objects appeared was the city of Ft Myers, FL. The only nearby point of interest is the SW Florida International Airport. There are rural areas and residential sprawl around the city.

Full Description & Details

On Sunday evening, March 18, 2012 at about 10PM I was on my patio and noticed an unusually bright light in the northern sky and a light of lesser brightness further north in the northern sky. I looked at both for a while, maybe 5 or 10 minutes, and noticed that they were not moving at all. I observed this from Estero, FL and determined that the two lights were approximately over the city of Ft Myers, FL or perhaps a bit further north than that. The sky was clear with no cloud cover. I called my wife to come and see the two lights and she also noticed that they did not move in any direction. During this time, several airplanes heading to the SW Florida International Airport passed under thee two lights so you could tell that these lights were not aircraft of any kind known to either of us. After about 20 minutes of watching the two lights/objects I got my powerful binoculars and took a closer look. Upon closer observation I noticed that there were actually three bright lights side by side in a horizontal configuration without any light beam. Surrounding the three bright lights was an aura or reflection with refracted light, like a rainbow, but I could not see what shape the object that supported the three lights might have been. The other object of lesser brightness turned out to be the same, having three lights side by side in a horizontal configuration with the rainbow-like aura, only dimmer because it appeared further north and was more distant visually. So there were two similar objects in the northern night sky separated from each other by many miles, not moving in any direction and making no sound at all. By all appearances the two lights were about 10,000 feet above the ground or perhaps a bit more. I also determined that the size of each object was about 75 - 100 feet in length or diameter and was about half the size of my small fingernail if I extended my arm fully. We continued to watch with the binoculars for another 15 or 20 minutes with no changes that were obvious to us. Then gradually the two objects moved slowly north and eventually disappeared from view. That was it. There was no more to the sighting. The time was then about 10:45 or 10:50PM.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

it did not appear that way to either of us.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I believe they exist. I have a friend who was a UFO investigator for over thirty years and has written extensively about the UFO phenomena. I have read all of his books and watched some documentaries in which he participated. I have seen other UFO lights in the past and so has my wife. I am curious about UFO's and generally watch programs on TV about UFO's.

Other facts you may wish to include:: We were traveling north to San Francisco. Coming down the grapevine from LA we encountered pea soup fog but kept going slow because of drinking a lot of coffee, wanting to get to San Rafael on Thursday before Grateful Dead Halloween shows (Marin County civic center). Just about every other vehicle had pulled off because of dense fog.

We finally came out of the fog and I was remarking how the sky was so clear, stars bright like in the desert when Janis asked "what are the weird colors off in the distance?". I was just joking, playing with stereo and stated it was a flying saucer. It looked like it had landed on little landing feet West, SW, some distance away in fields. Well, I joked it was a UFO and maybe only less than a second later, as if it knew what we were discussing, Janis started going "don't look now it's right behind us!!!!!" it was following (pacing) just behind to the left of my car, then pulled right up alongside, (Janis going 'I TOLD YOU NOT TO LOOK!!), started doing every most outrageous seemingly impossible flying stunts you can imagine, including circular flips, just showing off all the stuff it could do, for over 5 minutes. It had a day-glow green color that emanated from it like fibers of light, more bright near what I assume was the metallic object.

It was as close as a lane and a half, or 30 feet the whole time, just off the ground barely, so close it made all the hairs on my body stand straight out, like from static electricity. We were going "oh, sh*t" and stuff like that when it took off like a slingshot, disappearing in horizon to left of very straight road goes all the way north. Well, we were discussing it at length, saying I never imagined one like that could truly be until we saw it like 30 feet away. I think it was about the size of one and a half Lincoln continentals, round, saucer shaped, domed, we both think it may have had some portholes. We were wondering how on earth it could do somersaults and stuff like that, when it came back, a little more higher, flying (facing from underneath sort of) us from directly ahead for a minute or so, we were going "whoa..." again, when I think something came on or opened underneath it, only time it made any noise, and started the bright spotlight on my car, which had of all things, a bumper sticker that said : "STARSHIP" on the front (for rock band Jefferson Starship). Well, it made a noise like a hatch opened, then the white light started, with a vzzzzzzzzzzz sound that got louder until it was as bright or brighter than sunlight, like a spotlight on my car, pacing ahead (little higher this time, yes) until it got to it's full brightness and loudness, by then going VVVVVAAZZZZZZZZZ, when I seized the opportunity to tell her to wave at it as a friendly gesture, as now it had given me a feeling of inner peace, knowing there must be life elsewhere, then it made a Kkuh sound, and the buzzing noise subsided at the same time the light dimmed, I think I heard a hatch close, then it repeated the taking off like a slingshot again, just to left of road, then took off in the horizon, a little more left (didn't need a road).

Well, we were feeling a bit too overcome to stop at the windmill truck stop as we came up on it, but called ok, time out, and pulled it off in the rest area just past windmill a ways. We were feeling a bit weirded-out, when some French guy I swear looked kike Marcelle Truffaut or something right out of the movie close encounters, just like the saucer, comes running up frantically waving his arms, hollering something about a "phenomena fantastique!!!!!", just gave him a weird look, like, yeah, we saw something like that back there. Yes, I think it was Thursday morn' way early then, just before Halloween of '83, so we kept going north, starting to feel a bit haggard. Going back after visiting friends in Mendocino, we tried to tell where we first saw it, just past the fog, well south of the air base, and realized there was nothing there for maybe over a hundred miles or more except some cattle, they were making colored lights of all colors for some cattle?? Well, I shrugged it off as just an 'ornry cattle saucer' but looked up much researching over the years to this day to see who else may have seen that saucer, far as I could tell, just her and I and this French guy maybe and maybe 2 or 3 trucks headed south maybe saw it zipping by, don't know. Janis, being a bit of an artist, drew a picture of it with the words "genuine ufo" underneath. I didn't need to have made any photography anyways, as I have a DVD where it is called one of what are known as the "Guardian Saucers" in Vancouver, Canada, I think, where it had all the multi-colors from underneath, yeah, made my skin feel like it wanted crawl when I first saw the video, yeah, like it was just like something we saw, for real. She won't discuss it anymore because she said she had some bad dreams about it. Had some strange dreams myself, except more friendly, and peaceful, seeing all these drawings and video stories about grey extraterrestrials with enlarged heads and large black eyes that stare into a void or something. Now I have a friend Susan, who tried at first to keep changing the subject, but with my ongoing research, she's been saying "Malcolm if I saw something like that I think I would be so SCARED" to which I replied yeah?, I guess if you think it would make you so scared it would, if you think it would make you have bad dreams it would, and yes, as in my case, if you think it would give you a feeling of inner peace, probably WOULD. I know, I had always studied astronomy since I was a youngster so interested in it my family bought me a telescope. I joined the San Francisco amateur astronomers, had always had a more Saganistic approach towards the subject, even though many friends had pointed out "things in the distance" or had even related their own encounters, just thought, sure, sure, bah. Now I wonder, what would Carl Sagan himself had thought if one of those came up and did a lot of aerial acrobatics from like 30 feet away, it's unmistakable. Your welcome to forward my sighting to carlsagan.com, etc., get tired of relating it or finding WHERE to. Still have an intense interest in cosmology, even more now although I think many cosmologists views would have or will change after seeing a thing like that from only 30 feet. Some friends may feel my Star Trek stories are more real in their view, I really have nothing to prove and don't care if they like astrophysics, x-files or Rael. I know I had the SETI screensaver for some time. I'd just like to find out if anyone shared our sightings that night other than us, I'd appreciate if you could in exchange for my story email it back to me so I don't have to keep going over it, I will have my official story reported and on file now, special thanks.

Feel free to contact me for any further details, if some stuffed shirt gov't guys come having too many questions or something adverse you know, it might have been the planet Venus, just the planet Venus (chuckles) heh, heh if that's what they want people to think from their view, fine by me, I guess they just want people to have the feeling of security that "only the air force controls the skies over the US", really don't care, someone going to give me too hard a time over it I'll just forget I saw anything same as Janis, big deal, sheez. Cheers, Malcolm <*snip*>

UPDATES! May 03, 2006

Thank you very much, I can feel at peace now getting the story off my back, not knowing who to tell. I have the page bookmarked for reference, thanks. Only thing I might add, I felt it had peaceful vibes, because anything that advanced that meant harm could have done anything bad, although I woulden't recommend shooting at them like the air force. I think maybe what was up with the spotlight maybe they were making some kind of video starlog for their mothership maybe. I had thought I could have made some sort of hand signals like pounding my chest and pointing up to show I might like to go with them someday. I can't figure why people refuse to believe our sighting so much, conditioning perhaps, like in trying to suggest it was reflections of the planet Venus or something, I uh sure don't th9ink so. All I can say is if you see one close up like that from 30 feet or so, being so apparently unmistakable, remember I said they are out there for super real, wayn more than anything fictional or imagined. I have the drawing in a storage in Orange Co., if I can ever dig it out someday I'll forward it, I think you all must know the variety of craft though, try freezing shots of the Canadian "Guardian Saucers". Love your web site, hope this may be of help to your research and readers, thanks. Please though, if anyone saw that saucer that night please let me know, a whole library of books seems to suggest there wasen't, hmm.

Cheers, Malcolm

If you look at my photos, there are seemingly ships entering from all around the central cloud. The red orb moved from the left or South clockwise, this movement of this red orb was within the 10-15 minutes of shooting these pictures.

Size of Object(s)

I could not see any objects, until I downloaded my pictures, onto my computer; I knew there was "something" strange about the bright lights, circles and orbs, but had no clue what, only then did I could see what was in them.

Description of Area / Surroundings

The sighting was over open Iowa corn fields in the the western sky.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

I believe that the clouds forming so suddenly on such a clear blue low humidity winter day, were perhaps from the moisture created by the heat of the engines in the "ship". The reflection changed so quickly in the sun, it was absolutely too bright and very abnormal. It was as if the sun was hiding a reflective source in it's very bright light.

I lived on a farm for years; the night sky out in the country is much more spectacular far from the city lights distraction; a clear night in the fields of Iowa is amazing to star gaze. One only needs to look up, and they will see things that cannot be explained.

OUTSKIRTS OF PENDLETON, BOTTON OF CABBAGE HILL. pendleton airport

Full Description & Details

We made notes on our sighting, but over the years we have misplaced the original accounting of this event so we will estimate the time to be around July 1974 to 1976.

We planned a fishing trip to Owyhee Reservoir in eastern Oregon near the Idaho boarder. I don't remember the day we left Oregon City but it was probably Friday because we planned on staying over night at a motel in LaGrande, Oregon about 270 miles from home. It was a very warn evening and we were driving on highway 80 east through the Columbia River gorge. One of the little towns we were driving through was Pendleton,Oregon, about 200 miles from Oregon City.

As we drove down towards the town of Pendleton, which is situated in a valley, it was getting dark.

The road was straight and I was driving when my girlfriend said,"Look up in front, that white light is isolating back and forth."

I looked up and observed the white light which seemed to be about 2000 feet high or less. As we drove closer to the craft it moved away from us at such high speed that its light trailed behind it. The craft did not go very far when it just stopped. It then streaked to the left and stopped again. By now it was just a little south of the Pendleton airport.

We stopped our car and got out to get a better look. Traffic was very light and it was so quiet we could hear that the UFO made no noise.

Our story would be just another UFO sighting except for one little twist.

After a few minutes had passed a 101 Voodoo jet fighter plane from the Oregon National Guard base in Portland showed up. We heard the jet coming; it was flying very slow and at the same altitude as the UFO. The jet made six passes around the UFO. The first pass was very, very close to the craft, each pass then was further and further away from the UFO. We are sure the pilot saw a spaceship from another world, because we are sure we did.. Then the jet flew northwest, back to its base.

It got very quiet again after the jet left. We observed the UFO for a few minutes more, and then we left.

Either the Air National guard spotted the UFO on their radar or the Portland airport spotted the UFO on their radar. There was no information given out by the Air Force about this sighting.

This spaceship had to know it would be picked up by radar, like other sightings.

We believe they are preparing this planet for a landing in someones backyard.

The object appears to be a saucer type shape. At first when i seen it i thout it was probably a plane but after reviewing it it didnt seem so and it seemed out of place. I kept it to my self and didnt make a big deal out of it but just recently i seen a story on msnbc of a farmer in Australia that thought he had a UFO land in his back yard and it brought back that day. So i figure why not have some experts take a look at it maybe its just me but then again what if it is something out of the ordinary? If you want to see the pictures email me.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

My buddy and I were driving down I-84 west through Southbury back around 1992. We had noticed a large mass of lights moving slowly, heading east. We got off exit 14 in Southbury to follow this craft, which was now heading straight up main st. It moved very slowly and made very little noise. Kind of a low pitched humming sound. It ended up hoovering directly over the Mcdonald's parking lot where many people came out to witness it, police officers as well showed up. It just sat there and hoovered. The lights around the craft made it just visible enough to get a view of the underside- a series of complex looking metal gridwork, so it appeared to me anyway. As I watched it hoover, smaller lights began breaking off the main craft and seemed to be "chasing each other around", seemed to be moving at an amazing speed these smaller lights. It slowly moved away and continued to head east. Something I thought I'd never see again in a lifetime, but by sheer coincidence I did in fact see the same craft again a few years later. The strangest thing is that it came over the same hill as the one did a few years previous, as if it had used an established flight pattern. This time I could not stop, as I was traveling and had already passed the exit on 84 and was going over the lake zoar bridge when I spotted it. Now it would seem to me that whatever it was, it WANTED to be seen and using the same flight pattern would make one think that there are humans behind this whole thing, but for the life of me, and I will never understand this, how the hell do planes fly in formation, at night, without making noise, then HOOVER for what seemed like as long as they wanted?? I sit on top of the fence with this - have you any personal conclusions?? This will haunt me forever untill someone has a vaid explanation. Thanks for your time.

Size of Object(s)

Round, multi colored lights, seemed to change shapes from round to triangular, gridwork underneath { metal }, made very little sound. Smaller objects broke off the main ship and buzzed around very quickly

Facing west into the night sky in South Porcupine is to look into a uninhibited sky from city lighting etc. It was around zero in a clear winter night sky above but far beyond the house. No red , bright blue or white lights were flashing, The colors were green and orange and light blue and pulsating or radiating them. It remained stationary for some time...then it/they wer/ was gone.

Go to this link and see what we saw. There were 2 objects hovering in the night sky facing west. One was brighter than the other.. /So as I spoke with my grandson 1000 kl away and told him what I was seeing, he too saw it and may have take a picture with his iPhone. To my knowledge it was there for a good half hour. The less bright one emanated many colors. The brighter one out shone the colors but the still pulsated.

There was so much carrying on and childish outrageousness it was hard to see the two devices they were in possession of, but these are briefly described above. It was a blue color. If there was a craft involved, it could have only approached from one of two directions, both on the coast of Florida and both of which have nothing at all to do with NASA.

Size of Object(s)

These are tiny things, about 2 inches across. The actual size of the object would be the size of an average south facing wall in a room, but I don't think the wall is transparent or anything like that.

It was inside our home. The current surrounding area is like Haiti, with a little more forest. It is a rural area. Yes, there are sites and features near the area.

Full Description & Details

I just watched part of The Devil I Know about the serial killer in Onondaga county. Although the serial killer in Onondaga NY does not at all resemble any of the four astronauts, or four psychonauts, I believe the Onondaga county NY serial, known for his prevalent moustache, is not who he appears to be and seems to remind me of someone who was here near what is now our home, at one time. It was the childish behavior while they were using their remote which gave it away. The Onondaga county killer's wife is okay by me, but the reminds me of George Hodel because it looks like him. What I don't understand is how four psychonauts can fit on a couch in such a small space, about 6 feet by 3 feet.

I went to California after seeing something described above, and lo and behold, actually did see honest-to-god ufos out there. Before I had left to California, I was with a friend who also saw the ufos at night out at the cape in Florida. We were at Mosquito Lagoon. We both agreed on what we saw. I no longer see this friend. His dad worked for NASA.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

No, because four people cannot sit themselves in the area where the couch is. Plus the fact I would never keep guests like them in my presence, especially the Onondaga county serial killer.
