Full Description & Details

Hello: I took this photo in summer of 1978 in ValDor,Quebec ,Canada.

I was on a fishing trip.

Looked up and saw object hovering over tree tops.

Grabbed camera and took 1 shot with I believe Kodak instamatic? camera with the old 110 film I believe it was at the time.

I had to lower camera to wind film and when I raised it to take another shot craft was gone.

This photo was taken in a very remote area,still that way today.

Nearest town of significance is some 60 miles,nearest airport at the time was over 200 miles away.

This is native virgin country,and this photo is not a plane or balloon as there is no one or no government or no agency that could have been doing anything.

This object hovered for at least 15 seconds that I saw, could have been there for a while as my line of vision to fish way away from the craft and I had not looked up or noticed it.

Craft then departed silently at a very high rate of speed.

Full Description & Details

It was the evening of August 24, 2003 and I was camping in a tent in the campground located on Second Mesa. Second Mesa is part of the Hopi Reservation in Arizona.

Three other witnesses saw the same thing as I did that night. We were just starting a campfire (around 8:00 PM) to cook some food for ourselves that evening, when I heard the sound of after burners roaring. One witness turned around and screamed,"I see one! I see one! O, my God! I see one!"

I just thought to myself,"Oh, yeah, he is just seeing some military aircraft that run over the reservation for training flights." When I turned around (along with the other two witnesses--one of which was an ex-pilot from Vietnam) I saw four round yellowish-orange lights and following close behind it were two blue colored lights that seemed to be separate from the main craft. The four lights seemed to be emitting from the bottom of a very large craft! At first I thought the craft was flying very low, but then it dawned on me--the craft was being chased by at least eight fighter jets moving at full MACH according to the ex-pilot witness who also had a couple of nighttime monoculars. This witness had put the estimate of the speed of the fighter jets at about MACH 2 and this very large craft (larger than a Nimitz Class aircraft carrier, perhaps a couple miles in size!) was easily manuevering away from them, along with the two minor craft that followed behind it.

The craft was heading from the northeastern sky to the southwest, with the fighter jets in tail. We thought that that was it, but then it manuevered at a 90 degree angel and proceeded to come about in reverse back towards the Cultural Center. This was a great oppurtunity for an observation! It flew above a second time and the lights on the bottom changed from four separate yellowish-orange lights to two crossed bands of yellowish-orange lights!

The craft had three tyres to it (very similiar to a Mayan-type pyramid), and there were small lights like windows all around the sides of these tyres. The shape of the craft was hexagonal. I don't know the precise altitude of the craft, but we can use the strobe lights of the fighter jets as reference. You could only see one strobe light blinking, when there are actually two strobe lights on a fighter jet, so we could only say that this craft and the two additional blue orbs , including the fighter jets, were flying at an extreme altitude.

The craft flew over us a second time and then continued on its southwesterly movement and disappeared. The next day, some Hopi Indians, none of which I revealed anything to, had witnessed the same crafts flying over First and Third Mesa that same night. I find it also interesting that the timing of the sighting was within the period of the aproach of Mars to earth that year.

Other Comments

I think it is important for everyone that has had an experience like this to start coming forward and not be afraid. It seems that of late, that many sightings are starting to occur all around the world. The Hopis believe that we are entering into a new world of existence and that this old world is becoming destroyed through a process they call "the purification". The Hopi have said that the people of earth will again be saved by what they call "the ant people" who take us into their "ant-hills" (spacecraft?) and then transport us to safe havens on earth and other planets. The Hopi belief is that the earth will be struck by a number of great earthquakes caused by an imabalance at the North and South poles. They understand this pole shift as "two twin warriors who ride on top of two giant water serpents. When these Pokanghoyas (Twin Warriors) jump off of the heads of these water serpents, the water serpents twist around the entire world and it causes earthquakes and floods. And this is how the world purifies itself."--Hopi Acolyte of the Water Clan--Hendrickson Begoshytewa.

It is also interesting to point out, that I saw many strange objects in the night skies of the Hopi Reservation, and I highly recommend UFO watchers to make the trip to the Reservation, the Second Mesa Campground is ideal and if you are invited into one of the villages on top of the mesas, you will have ideal observation environment! I was told by a number of Hopis that these spacecraft visit Hopiland regularly because it is considered "the Center of the Universe" (Tuwa na'savi in Hopi).

I will sketch a picture and mail it via post office to you.

Summary:

There was a bright shining light above a field which moved about randomly like a humming bird at an altitutde which ranged from just above the field to 100 ft. When seen from the opposite side of the field(180 degrees difference) about 200 yards away, the light appeared exactly the same--ie. it emitted light in all directions. It was the size of a very large star but smaller than a moon.

Full Description & Details

On the night of January 2nd 2005, three of us witnessed an unidentified floating light hovering over our field out back in Norfolk Connecticut. The sighting occured between 10:30pm and 11:15pm and we left before it disappeared. The light was white and moved about in the air in random directions--vertically and horizontally, diagonally too. The sighting occurred approximately 200 yards away. The altitude of the light ranged from just above ground to 100 feet in the air. When two of the three of us looked at the object out of the side of their eyes, it appeared to be flashing brightly for an instant. The area is very rural. It occurred over a small field of ten acres and there are few houses in the area, primarily hovering over a copse of pine trees in the middle of the field. Upon noticing the light, we stared at it for a while wondering what it could be. It wasn't a spotlight because we drove our car around to the other side of the field where another house sits and the light looked exactly the same still. We were afraid to venture close to it because we just didn't know what it was and thought it might be dangerous. We've never seen anything like this before and its been our weekend home for over 20 years. We have noticed in other sightings reports that lights such as these have been seen in Torrington recently, as well as in other parts of COnnecticut. It made no sound whatsoever.

We did actually take a great photo of the object. And it will be submitted to this site. It was also enlarged and enhanced. It looks like the moon but it's not. There was no moon that night--you can check it. It was overcast. And there were no stars. The light seemed much smaller than the moon yet larger than a star.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The Litchfield County Times newspaper published a press article on this sighting. Below is the reprint of this article from February 3, 2005:

"A Norfolk Couple's Mystery: What Was That Ball of Light?"

By: Asa Fitch

Litchfield County Times, February 3, 2005

NORFOLK-At about 10:30 on the evening of Jan. 2, Drew Quale and his wife, Sally, were with a friend at their weekend home on North Colebrook Road, packing up their car for a trip to Bronxville, N.Y., when they say they saw a brightly-lit orb hovering above a 10-acre field nearby.

The object zigzagged over the dark landscape, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, darting "randomly like a hummingbird" from just above the field to 100 feet in the air, according to a report the Quales submitted to www.ufoevidence.org.

For about 45 minutes, Mrs. Quale took pictures of the object with her digital camera, following it from the backyard as it ranged over a copse of pine trees in the middle of the field and behind a crabapple tree on one edge of the field. The Quales were from 200 to 300 yards away from the object. It made no noise.

About 45 minutes later, at about 11:15 p.m., the Quales decided they ought to leave. It was a Sunday, and they had to make it to Bronxville, a town in Westchester County, that night and go to work the next morning. As they were leaving, they drove to the other side of the field and into an ancient driveway, noting that the shape and intensity of the object didn't change. They left while the object was still visible.

"We were afraid to venture close to it because we just didn't know what it was and thought it might be dangerous," the report says. "We've never seen anything like this before, and [this has] been our weekend home for over 20 years."

Mrs. Quale, a public information officer for the Bronxville School District, said the object appeared to be about the size of a basketball. The Smith College graduate said she has explored the possibility that it was ball lightning, a vaguely-understood natural phenomenon in which a ball of electrical energy appears and moves horizontally through the air. She now doubts that was what she saw because it stayed so long, even after the Quales left. It remains a mystery, she said.

"It was like someone had a mouse and was moving a cursor," Mrs. Quale said. "It was like you might move the cursor this way and that way and click on the word you wanted to correct. We thought it was so weird we didn't want to go out there."

Mr. Quale, a Harvard Law School graduate and a senior partner with the Seventh Avenue law firm of Sidley Austin Brown & Wood LLP, was quoted in Norfolk Now, the community newsletter that first reported the story, as saying, "We still have no idea what it was."

Though the object looks like a full moon in pictures, Mrs. Quale said she was certain it was not the moon or any other celestial body. The sky was overcast that night, she said, and everything was black except for the ball of light.

"It was absolutely black, because there was cloud cover and no moon and no stars, and if you looked out at the field with the eye you couldn't see anything but this white light," she said.

A meteorologist at the Western Connecticut State University confirmed that the sky was overcast the night of Jan. 2. Records compiled from a weather station at the Great Mountain Forest in Norfolk show that at 10:31 p.m. the temperature was 35.6 degrees Fahrenheit, and the humidity was at 97 percent, which is very high. The wind was calm to mild, and a very light rain fell sporadically between 8:30 and 11 p.m. that day.

Sixty percent of the moon's surface was illuminated on Jan. 2 in Norfolk, but the moon didn't rise that night until 11:31 p.m., 15 minutes after the Quales left, according to data from the U.S. Naval Observatory.

The Quales' strange encounter is certainly not the first of its kind in the region, though the Quales appear to be decidedly more credible than the average UFO spotter.

UFOs of all brands-from hot-dog-shaped ships with blue spotlights emanating from portholes to a small, star-shaped craft hovering above Main Street in Winsted-have been reported in Litchfield County on Web sites like www.nuforc.org and www.ufoevidence.org.

One story described a "mothership" visiting Litchfield center in 1971. Another reported a "bizarre star" that moved quickly across the sky in Washington in 2002.

One recent report bears a striking resemblance to what the Quales say they saw. On Sept. 7 of last year at 8:30 p.m., a 50-year-old quality assurance technician from Torrington reported seeing an orb whisk across the sky from the balcony of his second-story apartment. The man, an "amateur astronomer from a very young age," wrote that he saw a globe moving slowly through the air for some time before darting away quickly and disappearing.

It "appeared to be illuminated from within," according to an account on www.nuforc.org. "At the last before it faded from view, it was very dimly lit and looked like a crystal ball. It looked transparent, like a globe or sphere. From the time it moved quickly till it faded out could have only been a second or two. This quick movement probably covered 10 degrees of sky."

The man reported seeing the object again a week later, on Sept. 12, and then again another week later. The object looped back and forth and then zipped away.

"It was a very unusual zigzag type of pattern," the man wrote in a report on www.ufoevidence.org, where he also posted a diagram of the object's trajectory. "It did this zigzag type pattern about four times before flying off."

Full Description & Details

While on a road trip through Arizona and Utah on Labor Day weekend, 2004, my son and I visited several national parks. We stopped for a very brief visit in Zion National Park near Cedar City, Utah. I took 27 photographs in the park on the morning of September 7. The accompanying image, #22, is the only one with anything unusual. It is the raw, unmodified, image taken by my Minolta Dimage A7 camera.

Unfortunately, I didn't realize that I had imaged a UFO until I was back home that evening.

This is a first for me. I've never seen anything like it before. I've been looking for similar photographs on the web, and for others who may have captured the same object, but so far without success.

Full Description & Details

While taking photos of my kids at Sea World, we noticed a strange vapor trail. We assumed it must be NASA rocket testing, but then we noticed something moving in the sky. It was moving up and then sideways. We took a couple of pictures. In one, you can see two differant objects. One smaller object is to the left of the vapor trail and the other (the one that was so noticable from the ground) is at the top of the picture to the right of the vapor trail.

Full Description & Details

When I was a kid playing outside in the snow something caught my eye. As I happened to glance up, I saw a rectangular object only a few hundred feet away at low altitude (note the sun was behind me not glaring in my eyes). It was moving maybe at 40 mph from my left to right. It had a checkerboard pattern on the lower side of the craft which seemed flat not rounded. The colors were red and silver (see drawing) no lights were visible on the object. After a few seconds the craft flew away from me at incredible acceleration. It was a clear calm day with little wind but no sound, smoke or vapour trail was witnessed. The object disappeared over the horizon (a few miles was visible in flat farm country) in much less than one second!! Now I have no idea what this was but soon after I became keenly interested in the subject of UFO's.

The object was approximately 24X40 feet and looked very thin maybe 1-2 feet thick. In my estimate it should have broken the sound barrier but no sound was heard. If it was an optical projection of some sort then someone went to a lot of trouble to impress an audience of one in rural Nova Scotia during winter!

FOUR TO TWELVE MILTI-COLORED AND LOW FLYING OBJECTS SEEN REGULARLY, DART ALL DIRECTIONS AT A DISTANCE OF A FEW HUNDRED FEET TO SEVERAL MILES. OFTEN THEY WILL GO OUT OF SIGHT OR DANCE AROUND IN THE CLOUDS AS IF PUTING ON A SHOW FOR ALL TO SEE. GENERALLY I CAN FEEL THEIR PRESENCE BEFORE EVER SEEING THEM, DUE TO LOW FREQUENCY VIBRATIONS, SOME ARE ONLY SEEN WITH A VIDEO CAMERA. I HAVE OVER AN HOUR OF FOOTAGE AND INTEND ON MAKING A LIBRARY OF VIDEOS .

A 300+ft DISK ILLUMINATED AND EMERGED FROM THE TREELINE 3-400ft FROM A FRIENDS RESIDENCE, WAS SILENT AND EMITING LOW FREQUENCY VIBRATIONS. IT BEGAN WITH FLASHING LARGE PANELS OF WHITE LIGHT. THEN BEGAN TO FLASH RED,YELLOW,GREEN,BLUE,AND WHITE, AS WELL AS ROTATE CLOCKWISE AFTER PAUSING FOR ABOUT FOUR SECONDS AT 100-150ft ELEVATION. THE DISK BEGAN TO MOVE AT ROUGHLY 30-40MPH FOLLOWING THE TOPOGRAPHY OF THE LAND HEADING SOUTH TWARD THE BAY AREA. INTRESTINGLY THERE IS A COAST GUARD TRAINING CENTER WITHIN 10 MILES OF WHERE THE OBJECTS REGULARLY APPEAR.

A LARGE WHITE GLOWING OBJECT ORIGINALLY MISTAKEN FOR THE MOON BEGAN TO MOVE IRRATICALLY AS AN AIRLINER PASSED OVER , IT SEEMED AS THOUGH IT WAS AVOIDING A NEAR MISS WITH THE PLANE. I WAS JOINED BY MANY FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS, UPON REQUESTING A SECOND OPINION. WHEN ASKED WHAT IT WAS, I REPLIED "ITS EXACTLY WHAT YOU THINK IT IS, JUST KEEP WATCHING IT" THEN IT DARTED AWAY INTO THE SKY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I CONTINUE TO WATCH THE SKYS EVERY NIGHT AND HAVE SEEN THE SAME OBLECTS MILTIPLE TIMES SINCE LATE OCTOBER 2004.

A FAMILY MEMBER OF MINE, WHO IS A HIGHLY TRAINED SPIRITUAL HEALER AND NURSE WORKING WITH HOSPICE PATIENCE, TOLD ME AFTER I BROUGHT HER WITH ME TO SEE FOR HERSELF THAT SHE FEELS AS THOUGH THEY ARE INTELIGENT OR CONTROLED BY A FORM OF INTELIGENCE AND ARE HERE TO TEACH OR SHOW ME SOMETHING IMPORTANT. BUT IM STILL NOT SURE WHAT TO THINK, I JUST ENJOY THE EXPERIENCES I CONTINUE TO HAVE.

I was in my garden when I noticed a very bright/white object lower than many aircraft that fly over this area as there are airbases close by, it was moving quite slow and what took my attention was the fact that I couldn't see any wings or tail, there was no airstream from it and didn't hear any noise especially considering how low it was.Conditions were blue clear sky with the odd cloud here and there.

I ran indoors to grab my camera and took three shots of it, I really do not have any idea what it is?
