Appearance / Description of Object(s)

The object looked like it was made from metal, was approximately 1 1/2 metres in length and was in the shape of a pole or a thick tube. At both ends of the pole there was a sphere shape the size of a basket ball. It rotated quickly, however it wasn't fast enough that I couldn't make out the shape. It appeared to be going approximately 30 miles an hour in one direction whilst rotating.

Description of Area / Surroundings

A Secondary School. There are two main buildings in the school. The object went passed in between the 2 buildings.

Full Description & Details

The sighting was like no other typical UFO sighting as it was moving slowly, it was low to the ground and very visible to the eye, however the most obscure thing about it was the shape.

I saw this many years ago and I occasionally think back to that day. At the time I was young and didn't bother finding out more about what I saw. It had appeared when I was at school during an R.E lesson. It was almost like slow motion as it passed the window! I made a fuss about what I saw and the only attention I got was a telling off by my teacher. A girl saw what I saw but she didn't seem to care! Very frustrating. Everyone I told didn't seem to care so I carried on with my life.

Anywhooo only recently I decided to look in to it....I only hope there is an answer out there explaining what I saw.

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

I'm unsure of this. I've never seen anything like it.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

At the time of the sighting I was mildly interested in UFOs and the whole possiblilty that we are "not alone." However I've never really read extensively into the subject. I'm much more open minded now and very much believe that we are not alone in this huge universe of ours.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

It was a shadow of a black triangle with three lights on the edges and a red light in the middle. No flickering lights, just glowing.

Size of Object(s)

As I wrote: it seemed to be very large. 30 or 40 meters each side. Don't know what this is in ft.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

Hard to tell. I would say within 7 to 800 meters

Description of Area / Surroundings

River, object on the other side, hardly above the wood. It was outside of the city, No other lights.

Full Description & Details

It was a warm summernight. Have been out at the river Isar - me and two girls and a freind of mine.

Lying on the wrm beach and looking into the sky. Suddenly one of the girls, which never had seen a shooting star in her life said: Look at this. Is this a shooting star?

What we have seen was absolutely breathtaking: Three multicolured lights with a triangle dark shadow between the edges hoovered over the sky from west to east. It was from aour point of view in a short distance to the horizon and was incredible big. The distances between the lights must have been 30 to 40 meters.

There was absolutely no noise at all. The lights stay in the same distances to each other the whole time of the sighting. There was a light dust in the sky from the river. The object was flying at low sppeed and vanished east in the dust.

It is a long time ago. Trying to find the witnesses will be not easy, but not impossible.

I did an animation of the sighting. Could not manage to get the lights in the manner as they have been (multicoloured). But there is a photograph of a flying triangle on the website of cnuforg that shows the colours exactly in the way it was.

(To see the animation, please click on the link listed below.)

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

No -never seen anything like that before. But it was the time of the first Irakian war. Could it have been a secret US-airforce object? But -there was no noise at all !!!

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Completely black and complately triangular except for a small rectangular "bar" at one apex.

Size of Object(s)

the object was an equliateral (or very close) triangle with sides of possibly 30 to 40ft. The objects relative size became bigger as we approached it and drove underneath but my fingers would never have been more than a few inches apart even at the closest point.

Description of Area / Surroundings

The sighting took place on the M9 (M80) motorway near Stirling in Scotland. Theis is a very rural area of Scotland with only small towns dotted either side of the motorway. I am unsure whether there are any military bases nearby, but the oil refineries at Grangemouth would have been fairly close.

Full Description & Details

On Sunday 6 July 1997 at about 18:30 we were driving back from a volleyball tournament in Perth. It was a beautiful clear summer evening, there were four of us in the car (I was sitting in the front passenger seat), and I think we had just passed Stirling when I noticed a strange object directly above the motorway in front of us. I asked the driver if he could see it and he said he could. I then asked him if he’d ever seen anything like it and he said he hadn’t. It was hard to tell exactly how big the craft was or how far away. My best guess is that it was a bit wider than the wingspan of a small two-seater aeroplane, and that it was flying at no more than a few hundred feet above us. It certainly wasn’t anything like as high as a passenger jet - more like the height you see helicopters flying when you can still see the pilot inside. Because it seemed fairly close, we were able to get a very good look at the craft as we approached it and then passed underneath. It appeared to be very flat as we couldn’t really see any height to it at all - all we ever really saw was the triangular underside of the craft. (Diagram 1 shows how the object looked as we approached it from “behind”.) It must have been either hovering or travelling very slowly since we appeared to catch up with it and pass underneath it in much the same time as we would have if it had been standing still (we were probably travelling at about 80mph). I remember actually asked the driver if he knew which way it was moving and he said no. (Diagram 2 shows how the object looked from directly underneath.) I remember the shape very clearly and apart from the “T-bar” at the “front”, the rest of the craft was completely uniform and triangular. The craft was totally black, there were no markings of any kind that we could make out, there appeared to be no source of propulsion, and we couldn’t hear any noise at all as we passed below (although being in the car it’s not clear whether we would have been able to hear anything anyway).

All four people in the car saw the craft, although the driver and I probably got the best view as we were sitting in the front. The whole sighting would have taken no more than minute or so from the moment we first saw the craft until we had driven so far past it we couldn’t really make it out anymore.

There was a fair amount of traffic on the motorway at the time so I would guess that many others must have seen it as well.

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

The object was certainly not a natural phenomenon of any kind. I suppose it could have been some sort of stealth aircraft, the black colour and triangular shape are probably the best evidence for this. However, the stealth aircraft I have seen still look a bit like conventional aircraft. This was, or appeared to be, completely flat, it was completely triangular - we couldn't even really tell which end was the front, it had no visible source of propulsion, it had nothing, not even joins, underneath suggesting anywhere that landing gear could be stowed, and it appeared to be hovering or travelling very slowly - I heard somehere that current stealth aircraft have a minimum air speed of around 100mph (?).

Witness Background

At the time of the sighting described above I was just about to start my final year at university. I would have been 31 at the time. The occupations of the other witnesses in the car at the time were a policeman, a teacher (I think) and the other I don't know. The reason I don't know for certain is that these were friends from a volleyball team (I had been playing at a tournament in Perth in Scotland on the weekend in question) who had offered to give me a lift home after the tournament.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I had an open mind before but didn't think much about them although I still probably knew more about them than the average person. I have always had an interest in "fringe-scientific" topics but UFOs were nowhere near top of the list. Since this sighting my interest has grown considerably and I have become an avid watcher of the skies. I have also had four subsequent sightings (2 daytime, one dusk, and one nighttime, all with other witnesses and 3 in the same place oddly enough - above the Oval Cricket ground in London) and while each was a bit odd in its own way, none were anything like the clear sighting of an obviously structured craft seen at close quarters describd above.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

The object was quite bright but not so bright that you couldn't look at it. I could see the shape of the object through the glow. It was dome-shaped, like a half-sphere that had been squashed down by about half. It appeared to have an edge to it rather the smooth. The bottom was flat apart from 3 smaller dome shapes making an equilateral triangle shape if lines were drawn between them. At the time I estimated the size to be 30-60 feet diameter but its hard to say and my memory isn't clear enough to re-anaylise and come up with a better estimate. The object make a humming noise that seemed to "throb" or pulsate in pitch about every second. It also seemed to "freeze" me before I was even aware of it presence but the noise and this effect seemed to go hand-in-hand.

Size of Object(s)

If I stretched out my arm it would have taken (my adult) palm to cover it, maybe a little more. I would guess at 30-60ft

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

Maybe 100ft above the ground and about the same away. This is very rough though, sorry.

Description of Area / Surroundings

This a rural area, surrounded by fields. The main town is about a mile away.

Full Description & Details

I think I was about 12. I was sitting in my room (which was a loft room with roof-window) watching TV. It was around 7:30pm and was quite dark out. All of a sudden I start to feel strange, almost like my mind has sunk backwards further inside my head. I try to move but I can't. I can move my eyes a little. I become aware of a pulsing noise, like a electrical rumble.

Then I see light moving across the window, its not just a point of light but I can see the shape of it and even some surface details.

Whatever it is has just gone almost right over the house. When its moved further away I find I can move again and run to the window (which was already open). I watch as it hums along away from me. Then it goes behind some trees. I run downstairs and out of the from door into the road. I can see it again but its pretty small now. I've grabbed a pair of binoculars on the way out and I look some more. Then all of a sudden, completly unlike me, I give up watching and go inside.

I try to draw what I saw and I remember talking to mum about it but she pretty much blanked me. She was in the kitchen and it faces the way it would come...so maybe she saw it and was spooked

Very very spooky, I didn't tell anyone for about 2 years and then it was my brother. Then I didn't speak of it again for a long long time. I almost convinced my self it was an air balloon.but it was glowing greeny yellow and was like a slightly flatened half-sphere shape with 3 curved shapes on the bottom.

I have just started looking to see if anyone else reported seeing it, put my mind at ease! I thought I should report it finally!

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

I thought it may have been a blimp but realistically I don't think so. It was moving very slowly like a blimp, gliding along.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I was into Sci fi a bit before the sighting but not overly interested in UFO's. Afterwards I became insatiable, watching every program, every book on the subject. Trying to find liknesses to what I had seen.

Other Comments

I would love to know if anyone else saw this object, I wish I could somehow get an exact date. I think it was 1990 and must have been winter because it was dark at 7:30pm. I remember the time because I was watching "tomorrows world" or "Body Matters" on TV and it used to be on about that time.

If you took a fifties car full wheelcover and placed it with the flat end toward the ground.and the "domed " end toward the sky....and viewed it from a distance.........that would be the shape as the object as it appeared to speed off west. The "dome "was not that pronounced though. It tipped from side to side slightly when it was speeding west.

Full Description & Details

I was 13 Years old hanging Christmas lights at approximately 7pm that evening with my father . As I handed him a string of lights to hang on the gutter of the house, A bright fast moving light caught the corner of my eye coming from due East to due West...I was able to focus my vision on it at about 90 degrees overhead and watched it silently dart westward at low altitlude at a very high rate of speed. It "trimmed "its flight side to side as it sped westward, as was gone from site within 2 seconds of the initial sighting. The cloud cover was very low that night. The object was probably within 500 feet of the ground.I asked my father if he had seen it, to which he had replied no.

I have never officially reported this sighting to any agency to this day.

During my lifetime, I have worked in public service to many degrees, graduating with a degree in Law Enforcement in 1974, serving as an Auxiliay Police Officer with 2 agencies for a period of time in the 80s, and also graduating the State Fire Academy and serving as a part time Firefighter and EMT for a good part of the 90s.

I know what I saw was real. I know it wasn't anything that could possibly be man made. And at this time of my life I don't care if those that doubt my observations cast a doubt on it. It's their loss..

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

No Way- I am a building engineer by trade, an avation enthusiest, and quite frankly, I do not believe the US or any other world government could possess this technology 39 years later.

I had sleep by my girlfriend. And she has got a window on the roof. We had look in the sky and visit the clearly night with the stars. Then, some clouds make the stars unseen. My Girlfriend says to me:" Oh, look some clouds cover the sky." I see up and and this moment a undified flying object flies

over our roof. The night was dark, but this thing was a little bit brighter. On the sides , you seen some litte lights. But not bright, it looks like a chemical light also seen by fishes in the deep sea.

I think it was 25 mph/h fast. But, we had open the window but we cant hear anything. This Object dont make some sounds. It was very noisy.

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

I dont think it was a star because the clouds has covered the starts. For a bird it was to big. Clouds havend some lights on her sides. Airplanes or other flying things a impossible because no flying object flies in the less level. And a Airplane etc. make some sounds.

The UFO was metalic, round, with a round cuppolo on top of the craft as I saw it from the TV tower.it had square looking lights completely around the edge of the craft, they were green,purple, and yellow, The faster the craft flew the faster these lights would appear to go around and around the edge of the craft

about 3 ft apart for my hand, the craft was about 100 feet across and about 25 feet tall

Description of Area / Surroundings

Rural/Interstate/ outskirts of Florence SC and Darlington SC/ TV transmiting Tower.

Full Description & Details

This was in 1970, Mr. fields and I watched the round craft for about an hour. Then it moved to Interstate 95, about 1/8 of a mile from the transmit tower in Florence SC., an it hovered over a billboard about 50 feet above my head. We were in a car under the UFO, it did nothing to the car instruments, so I got out of car and stood directly under the craft for about 1 hour this was about sunset, nothing happened to me physically, there was no static electricity causing my hair to standup or anything like that. The craft moved toward the I-95 highway and headed toward Highway 52 from TV Road about 40 feet above our car and turned on Highway 52 toward Darlington SC still about 40 feet above our car. We continued on to the Darlington by-pass to the Hartsville Hwy. Halfway between Darlinton SC and Hartsville SC the craft stopped, by then it was about 9:00 PM, we stood under the craft beside the road for the next 1 hour and 30 minutes. It was about 10:30PM and the craft tilted its edge upward slightly, {it was round}, toward the sky and took [off] with amazing speed, it did not cause any wind to blow my hair or move any vegetation, the craft had square looking lights on the edge of the craft, and the faster the craft flew the faster these lights would appear to go around and around the crafts edge, the lights were green,purple, and yellow, it was a clear afternoon and night, we were in the close presence of this craft for more than 4 hours, it was nearly a hands on experience. I did not see who was flying the craft. The craft stayed up in the sky a while stopped then shot off in outer space, at blinding speed.

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

This was undeniably a UFO no doubt about it whatsoever, a clearly visible craft no doubt, I do not think a human could have been flying it because of the blinding speed it took off at my last sighting of it, the G-forces would have been entirely too great for a human to withstand.

Full Description & Details

While observing with a small, wide field telescope I spotted what I thought was space debree. I at first saw one pinpoint of light traveling north to south, as it passed across the eyepiece i then noticed a second point of light. These lights moved together. I do not know the distance beween them but can only say I used a wide angle eyepieces, of 60 degress. These 2 objects fit with in 50 degrees of this eyepiece, just enough to track them both in the same field of view. These objects did appear to move as one unit the entire time i watched them I have sme figures that may help in identifying them The scope used was a 4 and 1/2 inch f4 wide field scope. eyepiece used was also widefield 60 degrees. 20mm. Which would put it at 20x magnification. I did not have setting circles so I do not know the elevation. But, these objects did pass by M13 which is in hercules. they were within a degree of it from my location. The amount of sky covered within this viewing was from anywhere north. And I lost track around scorpio as my scope is in a cradle mount and was hitting the back of the chair that I had it on. the entire time I view I guessing is 5 minutes. i did see a plane or jet pass in front of my scope as viewing ese objects also. It was in front of them. So they deffinitly were further out. These lights never blinked they stayed steadily lit. No flickering and no other lights emmiting from either of them. they moved so perfecgtly ogether that it did seem as one object, I didnt see anything between them that would suggest this.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Town at southern end of Lake Zurich, no military or power establishments nearby

Full Description & Details

I was on foot on the shore of the Obersee, when I noticed an unusual formation of clouds to the north of the town. There were 4 or 5 such clouds, all pure white and shaped like thick disks. They seemed to be somewhat luminescent, but that may have been the effect of the strong sunlight. I was not able to gauge either their size or altitude. I observed them for 4 or 5 minutes but I did not see them arrive/form, nor did I notice their departure. One was more clearly defined and curiosity brought me to take a series of photographs of them. I only had my mobile phone-camera with me (Nokia 3220), and so the resolution is not great.

It was only when I had transferred the images to my computer, did I notice anything extraordinary about the objects.

The clearest of the objects now appeared to have a structure, with upper and lower thin disks, which on the photographs are dark, and a thicker central part of a smaller diameter which was still white. The overall appearance is of a double-flanged wheel.

Furthermore, although not visible to the eye at the time, the photographs show a pinkish glow surrounding the object and extending towards the ground.

This part of Switzerland is known for unusual cloud formations due to the interaction of mountains and lakes, but I have never seen anything of this nature.

I can assure everyone that these photographs have not been modified in any way (The originals are still in my phones memory).
