Size of Object(s)About a half city block Distance to Object(s) & AltitudeNo idea only that it seemed a few hundred feet over my house Description of Area / Surroundingssmall city in a rural setting with mountains surrounding us Full Description & DetailsI live in a small city with a small airport. We are situated in a valley with mountains all around us. My sister and 3 friends had stopped by and we were standing out in the drive way, along with my nephew. It was 10:45 PM and a beautiful starry night, with a bright 1/2 moon.There were 6 of us. My nephew and one of the other males were standing near the car and were looking at the stars both saw the object and called out to us. We looked up and could not believe this large object passing overhead. It was large half a city block and very quiet. One would never notice this object if you were not looking directly at it . You could see the outline of the object but not the body of it. When it moved over the stars they were blocked out. This may sound silly but it looked like the spaceships on Star Trek when they were just un cloaking only the outline was visable. It went in an easterly direction and without turning it went North and disappeared. I am 60 years old and have never seen anything quite so amazing. I lived in the Prairies where the night sky is like a wide screen TV where you can see in every direction. I have seen some pretty weird things in the sky but never so close. Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?No, as the object moved and the stars disappeared when the object moved under them Witness BackgroundI worked in Christian ministry for 25 years. Have recently moved from Vancouver BC to a smaller city. I am now doing recall work. Views on UFOs, before and after sightingI have believed that something must be out there, I and a girl friend were camping in WA mountains a few years ago and saw something in the the sky that we watched for about 1 hour, When we reported it to the Warden she told us that what we had seen had been sighted numerous times by others.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)Metallic disc-shaped with small dome on top and bottom. The metallic silvery color is darker and not shiny. 4 blinking red lights in every objects body. Size of Object(s)I am not so certain about the size but it seems twice as big as a helicopter. Distance to Object(s) & AltitudeAs high as a helicopter would fly. Description of Area / SurroundingsSighting was seen in a busy part of the City. The objects disappeared behind a huge, white building with massive satellite disc on top. Full Description & DetailsI was on my way to work one Sunday morning and waiting for the "walk sign" on the corner of 52nd and 9th Ave in Midtown, Manhattan when I spotted 4 metallic disc-shaped objects on the sky (right where I was facing). There was a marathon that day so I dismissed the objects as mere balloons that got away until I saw the red blinking lights. As I in awe,I was trying to figure out what I am witnessing at that moment. They seemed to glide and spin in unison, as if in a fleet position while red lights goes on and off. It disappeared behind a white, tall building that can be seen on 10th Avenue near 53rd Street. Every object has 4 red blinking lights on the disc body. No visible windows except for the small dome in the middle (on top and bottom) of every object - the color of the dome is the same as the rest of the object - metallic dark silver and not shiny. I don't know what I saw that day but it certainly did retain in my mind up until the day I am writing this sighting report. Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?It doesn't look man-made to me. How can a man manage to be inside a spinning craft without becoming dizzy? Witness BackgroundNURSE. Worked as an Operating Room Nurse and then work for Behavioral Health nowadays. Views on UFOs, before and after sightingSkeptical but interested.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)Black triangular objects with no markings, lights, reflections or familiar aircraft features (stabilizers, etc.). Size of Object(s)At arms length, the objects appeared to be less than 2 inches across. The actual size appeared close to that of a private or fighter jet. The objects appeared to be equilateral triangles with less than 100 feet per side. Distance to Object(s) & AltitudeDirectly overhead. My guess would be around 7500 feet in altitude. Description of Area / SurroundingsWest Los Angeles (urban) just west of the intersection of Pico & Sawtelle Blvds close to Santa Monica airport. Full Description & DetailsIn the summer of 2000, I was driving with my then girlfriend late one afternoon before sunset westbound on Pico Blvd. just west of Sawtelle Blvd.. While stopped at a traffic light, she pointed to something she saw in the sky which was almost directly over us. I had to lean forward to be able to see up through the windshield to observe 3 identical black triangular objects. I observed them for less than 30 seconds. The objects were motionless and we could not hear any noise from the objects. There were no markings, lights, reflections or familiar aircraft features (stabilizers, etc.), just a solid black object. The objects were in a loose triangle formation separated from each other by a distance of approximately 5 times their individual width. What struck me most was their stillness and almost silhouette-like appearance.
Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?Given the shape of the craft, their hovering behavior and sudden apparent disappearance, I assume that the objects were either undisclosed advanced aircraft or extraterrestrial craft. Witness BackgroundAt the time, I was working in the entertainment industry as an artist for an internet animation studio. I have a bachelor's degree in Fine Art and am currently self-employed as an illustrator. Views on UFOs, before and after sightingI have a strong interest in UFOs, both before and after my sighting. I have read several books on the subject and seen several documentaries, as well as listened to the Coast to Coast radio program. I have found that this interest and the knowledge I have acquired has made me more of a skeptical observer than I was before since I am more aware of the conventional sighting explanations. Other CommentsMy sighting is consistent with other "Black Triangle" sightings listed here and on other UFO sites. Reported Sighting?NoYour Location:Towson, MD, USAAge:31 |

Appearance / Description of Object(s)From my sister's description (she observed it firstly and in greater detail) it was a large inverted cone with an obtuse (flattened) triangular base - the top of it which bore the red lights moving from corners to apex and back again. I.e. an inverted trapezoid. Size of Object(s)I'd estimate 100 ft across and 200 ft deep. Description of Area / SurroundingsWe were living in Crownhill which is a high up part of Plymouth overlooking a valley between residential estates and the naval base in view towards the west , the ufo seemed to be traversing from a south west to north west trajectory over the city. Full Description & DetailsIt was my younger sister who alerted us (my mother and I) to come and view a large 4 sided trapezoid, like an inverted cone with a triangular rather than flat bottom. My sister saw more of it than I saying she saw lit up windows on it and it was apparently following a dash 7 commercial airplane on route to land at Plymouth airport.
Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?It was far too big and too quiet and too slow to be explained terrestrially and also too low to be an airship or balloon with those moving lights it was inexplicable . Witness BackgroundI am a trained laboratory technician with a university background. I was only 13 years of age at the time of the sighting Views on UFOs, before and after sightingI was open-minded, my grandfather had told me of a saucer-shaped sighting he made in Coventry during the 1950's, the experience was very enlightening unlike anything before and has changed my outlook on life. I was a sceptical enquirer before the encounter which turned me into a believer. Other CommentsI make this report mainly because I have not come across many reports of ufo's which conform to this particular configuration. I mainly hear about saucer or disk - type or cigar shaped objects. Yet, this inverted trapezoid object which was so apparently huge seems totally extra-terrestrial and I hope that it stimulates others to report objects they may have observed no matter how outlandish and incomprehensible that they might have witnessed.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)The object was a matte gray, definitely non-reflective and looked like a large 55gal drum. No lights were emitted. Size of Object(s)I estimate the size of the object to be 10ft tall by 7.5ft wide. I gather this estimate by comparison with the height of the trees it was in front of. Relative size, add an inch to both height and diameter of a 12oz pop can. Distance to Object(s) & AltitudeEstimated distance from me is 150yrd and height at 40ft. Description of Area / SurroundingsRural transcending to Suburban, along the shore of Grand Lake St Mary's. The lake has a military history as an inert bomb range, but is no longer used for that purpose. Closest military base is Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton, OH. There is a small airport in Montezuma, OH on the other side of the lake and one in New Knoxville, OH about 20 miles from my locaiton at the time. Full Description & DetailsI was driving east on Ohio State Route 703 from St Marys to Celina. West of the WSU extension campus I heard a high pitched tone through my window (it was about half way down). I looked toward the noise and saw a cylinder shaped object keeping pace with me against the trees and along the shore of Grand Lake St Marys. The object kept pace with me for about 0.25miles and entered into some wooded lots that also had homes. When I reached the other side I no longer saw the object but could hear the tone become fainter and fainter as I gained distance from the last known location.
Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?Hard to say. My dad was in the USMC for 22yrs living around aircraft much of my life I have never seen anything I would say resembled this. My best guess as a man made object would be some sort of rocket stage maybe falling. To the best of my knowledge no such rockets are launched in this area. I would not rule out the possibility of this object being man made. Witness BackgroundI have a background in Chemistry, Statistics, and Quality Engineering. I am a Six Sigma black belt and am finishing up my QA engineering degree. I grew up on military bases and was used to seeing aircraft on a near constant basis as well as other military vehicles. I do not believe that aliens exist. Views on UFOs, before and after sightingI believe UFO's are what they are and that the term is relative. If you can't ID a flying object, it's unidentified. A UFO and become and IFO later on. Do they have anything to do with alien species? I don't believe aliens exist.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)The main body was like an upside down saucer with a cylindrical 'turret' on the top. The 'turret' was approximately 3 feet across and 2 to 3 feet high and appeared to rotate. It had windows perhaps of a green color that may have been 8 sided. The main body was approximately 12 to 15 feet across and approximately 4 feet thick and was supported by legs...I think 3, which held the craft 4 feet off the ground. There was a ladder that reached the ground from the center underside. The craft was skin was metallic. the windows gave off some light. Size of Object(s)The measurements I gave were based upon a city neighborhood street. The craft could fit in the center of the street with a car parked on either side. Distance to Object(s) & AltitudeI was 50 to 60 feet away at most. Description of Area / SurroundingsThis was an neighborhood in our city. Nearby there is a small airport for light planes etc. There is an elementary school nearby . The streets are lined with houses on either side... from curb to opposite curb perhaps 30 feet. The houses are single family ranch style homes built in the early 1950's. We had the normal compliment of telephone poles. Each house generally had a 10 foot easement between them. Full Description & DetailsThis sighting took place approximately 40 years ago. I saw this as a child but did not start to remember it until my late 30's to early 40's. My memory has me standing in the middle of my street in the winter time. It must have been in the early morning hours.... there was no one around and very quiet. It had just snowed and the reflection of the street lights on the snow made it very bright. I was directly in front of my house. I had no recollection of going outside. There in front of me perhaps 50 or 60 feet was this saucer shaped craft. It had an upper turret that rotated slowly ... that part had some windows that might have been eight sided. The shape of the craft was similar to a lid on a teapot ...the top being small and cylindrical. It was supported by legs ...I think 3. It had a ladder from the center underside down to the ground. A distance of approximately 4 feet to the ground. The totat size of the craft was 12 to 15 feet across and maybe 6 or 7 feet high. It made little or no sound.
Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?No Witness BackgroundI am an aircraft mechanic. I have some college and trade school. Views on UFOs, before and after sightingBefore the sighting I was probably ignorant of any of it. After the sighting and in my early adult years I always felt like they were real and that we on earth are not alone. Upon remembering the sighting ( in my mid 40's) I absolutely believe that there are other life forms and we have been visited for a very long time. I was probably not exposed to much information on UFO's prior to the sighting as I was fairly young. Other CommentsI have often wondered if I was abducted at this time of sighting . My recollection was of standing in the middle of the street , at night, in the winter. The angle that I would have had to see the object from my bedroom was not the angle that my memory sees it from. I was thrilled and relieved when my brother shared with me that he saw the same event. Reported Sighting?NoYour Location:Anchorage, Alaska , USAAge:48 |

Appearance / Description of Object(s)This was an organized fleet of bright orange rectangular objects with rounded corners without an identifiable light source. Each object had a small flame at the back, small relative to the size of the object itself. The flame was bluish . They appeared flat to me as I could not see any of their sides, since they were overhead.. It was quiet. no noise were heard from them. The neighborhood was pretty quiet as well. Size of Object(s)I'd have to put my streched arms apart almost 2 feet to cover the fleet in its length, about 1 foot to cover the width. Distance to Object(s) & Altitudethe fleet was overhead, about 5-10 degrees south from the zenith. (almost overhead) Description of Area / SurroundingsThis was an urban area, 5 story buildings on the west side of a major intersection and houses on the east side. I was located where the 5 story building were. The landscape goes uphill from the east to the west, altitude is about 1800 feet. Full Description & DetailsI've emailed a draft of what I have seen 36 years ago - January 1970- in the elevated areas of Algiers were I then lived and have been ever since pondering about this extraordinary technology. The illustration that I have provided is pretty accurate in terms of colors and may be close to correct in the number of crafts in the fleet. The fleet was about 1500-2500 feet overhead (may be less) so each would size to a football field.
Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?Absolutely not! and I am a structural engineer. The right angle navigation while undergoing stunning acceleration w Witness BackgroundI graduated from UCLA with an engineering degree. For the past 10 years, I have been working in the Information Technology field doing various development work for a number of companies. Views on UFOs, before and after sightingI never was skeptical and always had an open mind, believe in the impossible, so to speak. I was 16 when I saw these - had not been around long in life, but since pre-school I was interested an curious about the unknown. I did belive in the existence of othe worlds before this event. I had an interest in the world wonders that were left as mysterious, Mayan calendar, Pyramids, advanced ancient civilizations etc... Today, I do not question the existence of UFOs or extraterrestrial advanced civilizations. I question their technology but most of all, the purpose of their visitation is questionnable. Why do they hide from us. Other CommentsThank you or having this site. It is well presented.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)The object looked very much like a large trunk , or the obelisk in "Space Odyssy 2000" Rectangular -length twice its width and thickness 1/2 its width. Orange glowing lines about its middle and all visible edges. Size of Object(s)At arm's length 3/8th in. between thumb and finger. Or- the diameter of the moon. This would mean at least 1500 ft to 3500 ft in length. Plus++ Description of Area / SurroundingsCentral Oregon Elevation 4000, along Big Lake Road, South of the road junction and Santiam Pass, Hwy 22 to Bend, Oregon. Right Big Lake Campground and lake. Mt. Washington Elevation 7,100 ft to the SE. 3 miles. Full Description & DetailsAs I was standing in the middle of the road looking at the pre-dawn sky of brilliant stars and Polaris, I noticed what seemed like a fireball low in the trees north along the road. There were huge flames all about the object and suddenly it veered to my right and rapidly gained altitude to about 22 Degrees above the horizon. (Polaris is about 45 Degrees altitude) The flames went out and I was looking at this object broadside. It was clearly delineated twice as high as its width. I could see its thickness (about 1/2 its width) as well as the top was angled about 15 degrees to the right. An extremely bright ablation tail formed from each of the four visible edges and formed smooth curves top and bottom (like a scimitar blade) joining some distance back. This tail became so bright the sky turned briefly to blue then faded to black once again with the brilliant stars in the background. I could see brown smoke trailing in the bright yellow -orange light . The object was clearly visible by an orange glowing rectangular seam at its middle and at all of its edges. There were a few orange sparks from the top and leading edges. 3 to 4 four seconds later and perhaps at a bearing 45 Deg. NE. Altitude still at about 22 Deg. It disappeared into the night sky except for a faint wisp of trailing smoke.
Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?The size determination is critical to ascertain if manmade or not. AT first I thought perhaps this was a spent rocket casing or of that nature. But, it's shape cleary ruled this out . I know of no technology that could have constructed something is possibly a mile in length and half a mile wide and probably an 1/8th of a mile thick. Or this could have been much closer to earth - maybe 20 miles high but the angle altitude was about 22 Deg Witness BackgroundI have a civil engineering and land surveying background. I attended the University of Oregon for three years with a major in liberal arts. Ended up with a technical degree in a two year engineering program and worked with my father in his engineering business. My hobby is weather and I keep continuos records. Belong to the local American Meteorological Society Views on UFOs, before and after sightingI have read a lot over the years regarding UFO's including J.
