Looking at it from our distance, probably very far, about 1cm across.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

It appeared to be as high and far as the stars

Description of Area / Surroundings

suburban area, housing developements and some rural area all around, near Bolton Field Airport

Full Description & Details

A few friends and I were outside that night hanging out. My friend pointed out something flying in the sky. We all looked up and saw an object moving fast across the night sky. It was very high up and very far away. It made no sound. There were 5 witnesses, including myself, who all saw the same thing. It moved across the night sky, a period of about 5 minutes, and then a tree blocked our view, so we ran to the other side of it and it was gone. We searched the sky, with no trace of it anywhere and there were no clouds at all, it was a very clear night.

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

no

Witness Background

still in high school, no work, but always looking up at the sky for more answers

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I have always believed there are others out there. We are only one planet out of an unknown amount of over billions of others, so it would be very unprobable that we are the only living planet in the universe. I have studied UFO's a lot before.

Summary:

Egg-shapped bright aluminum type object hovering motionless for short time then making loud 'thumping sounds' and going straight up rapidly.

Nighttime

Duration: 

minumum 12 minutes

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Egg shape bright aluminum in color

Size of Object(s)

I revisited the same site in the 1980's and estimated the object was about five hundred feet away and maybe up to 200 feet across.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

Maybe less than a 100 feet above the ground and about 500 feet away

Description of Area / Surroundings

On the extreme edge of very small town in Wyoming. Craft was probably 500 feet from nearest house (us). Nothing but dirt and sagebrush between us and craft

Full Description & Details

Myself (about 12 years old at the time) and two other boys about my age were sleeping out in the backyard of my grandmother's house on the edge of small town Reliance, Wyo. We had not yet gone to sleep and had been looking at the stars on a very clear summer night. We were talking and I looked up and saw a large egg-shapped bright aluminum-colored object just 'there' not moving and I now estimate it was several hundred feet long and about 500 feet away just above a slight rise of barren Wyoming landscape. We were too scared to move at the time and knew we had to get some adults to witness it but we seemed too scared to move. Suddenly we heard loud 'thumping' sounds and it began to rise straight up slowly ar first then much faster. We ran into the house where my grandmother was having a card party or some kind of gathering of ladies. We did not even take time to put on our pants over our underwear. We finally got some of the adults outside but by then it was just a small bright light still going up. They said it was just a meteor. A side note. I noticed a yellow light flickering from side to side coming from the middle of the egg shapped craft but the other two boys did not see it. I have a few other observations about after effects if anyone is interested.

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

Not anything known. Deffinately not a blimp or helicopter.

Witness Background

Was 12 year old boy at time. Am now 69 and have been around aviation most of my life including four years in Air Force. Never saw anything like that

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

The 1950's were awash in flying saucer reports but ours did not look anything like a saucer.

Other Comments

I did have some after effects if anyone is intereted.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Just the river Weser, alongside of it just grassland, bushes and farmland

Full Description & Details

Hello,

my is English isn't he best but I'll give it a try.

About 10 years ago I used to walk my neighbours dog, usually on Sundays. I used to walk along the river Weser, mainly because it is far off town and the secludedness of my chosen footpath.

As I walked along, far behind the dog, I felt like not being alone. It was like that feeling as if someone is creeping up and one can feel their presence before being startled.

Well, I looked around me ( horizontally ) but I couldn't see anyone. I surely would have, ever since there are only bushes and shruberry.

For some reason I just looked up in the partly clouded sky, where I spotted a light, maybe as wide as a finger nail. If it weren't that bright, I would have ignored it. But the moment I turned my eyes away, it moved behind the cloud. That I saw out of the corner of my eye. Being perplexed, I looked up again and it wasn't there any more. I kept gazing and it reappeared for a second or 2, only to move behind the cloud again.

I could'nt believe it and whilst talking to myself it came back into view again. This happened 3 or 4 times until it stayed away.

This sighting has shaken me quite a bit, because I realized that this object seem to know that I was looking at it and even more important, it did let me feel/know that it was there.

Then I carried on walking towards the dog which was waiting for me about a hundred metres away.

For fear of ridicule I didn't dare to tell anyone. But I am older now and I treasure this event.

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

To my knowledge, no. I have done my " own research" on youtube. There is a video called UFO mix. What I have seen has been caught by someone on a camera. The video is a compilation of partly poor images. Nevertheless, I was lucky, what I have seen is clearly visible in the video.

Witness Background

Work for an employment agency in austria. Have been working in france and the netherlands as well. I have no formal education because a lot of money could be earned when I was younger. Work currently on a building site as a roofer and scaffolder in a helping position. Have learned english and french by attending evening classes.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Before my sighting I simply acknowledged that there is a debate going on about ufo's and the paranormal. All I knew up to then was that ghosts certainly exist and that objects move about without being touched. But this is not something one can talk about to anyone. My personal opinion is that you can tell if someone "knows something" or not.

Date:

August, 1972

Location:

Solomon, Kansas, United States

Summary:

I saw a very bright, white glowing, round object, approximately 25 feet diameter, moving at tree height approaching from west and going east on the south side of old highway 40. No sounds were heard and it traveled instantly, stopping two or three times in a zig zap pattern.

Date Reported:

10/28/2011 12:23:03 AM

Sighting Time: 

11:00pm

Day/Night: 

Nighttime

No. of Witnesses: 

1

Duration: 

5 to ten seconds

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Very bright "white only" color. I saw no other colors. It was round and approximately 25 feet wide. It was absolutely quiet and extremely fast. Three blocks in about five to ten seconds. Stopping completely in an instant with no shaking. It would zig, then stop, then zag, then stop, then zig, etc.

Size of Object(s)

If I put my hands out in front of me, I would seperate my hands apart by about eight inches to get the width of it. The distance would be from my front porch to the other side of a two lane highway above the mature trees. I would estimate it was 100 feet away from me.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Rural small town. Population 1500. Along and above old highway 40 through town. City park across street (which comprises an entire block area). Our house was across the street, mid-way in the block. No military except for Salina or Fort Riley Kansas. Solomon was a very quiet town.

Full Description & Details

I sometimes slept out on the front porch of our house, on the porch swing, as a child growing up in Solomon, Kansas. Our big two story house faced south and along old highway 40. Old highway 40 runs through Solomon. The city park was located across the street and there were many mature trees there.

One summer (I believe in August) night at approximately 11:00pm I was getting ready to lay down on the porch swing to go to bed. I remember the time because my mother was still up and we normally go to bed at 10:00pm. The sky was clear and I could see many stars. I then noticed a bright light coming from the west, just above the treeline along highway 40 and traveling (extremely fast) alongside the highway opposite of our house. It would stop instantly about three or four times as it zig zagged somewhat as it headed eastward for a total of two or three blocks. I only observed it for about five to ten seconds during a three to four block length.

I immediately headed for the front porch steps and when I reached the steps, I stopped, looked at it and at that instant, the bright light suddenly stopped directly in front of me, across the street, at the tree top level. It then changed its overall direction and flew directly over our house going north. That was the last time I saw the light.

I felt that at the moment I stopped and looked at it, it stopped and changed course on me. It was really weird at that moment. It was like they saw me too and changed what it was doing.

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

Absolutely not. Absolutely no noise. Clear summer night. No spotlights. It stopped instantly and changed course instantly. One bright color. No smell. No couds. Traveling HORIZONTALLY.

Witness Background

Military background. Sales. Manager. College.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Rolling wooded hills in rural area.Large radio tower right beside object.

Full Description & Details

In the spring of 2010 I was in Greenville Pa. treating some oil and gas wells with chemicals and as I pulled into a lease road I noticed something very odd in the distance. My location was on top of a hill which overlooked a large valley. In that valley sits a large radio tower. As I pulled into the lease road I noticed what initially I thought had to be some large balloon. As I sat there in utter amazement I decided that the object I was looking at was not a balloon. The wind was gusting that day and there was no way a balloon was going to stay that still, in addition to that I have a background in the military and can identify most aircraft. It became very apparent to me that whatever I witnessed was something I had never seen before.

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

In my opinion.... not manmade

Summary:

What looked like a ball of red fire in a far distance, thought it couldve been a meteor but stayed absolutely still. Than three other ones came out of no where and surrounded the still one,moving around. All three dissapeared after about 4 minutes, than still one dissapeared seconds after.

Nighttime

No. of Witnesses:

Duration: 

about 8 to 9 minutes

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Round ball, bright color as if they were on fire. When other three objects came later, they were manuevering around each other.

Size of Object(s)

about an inch or two, they were pretty small.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

It seems like they were further away than your average plane in flight.

Description of Area / Surroundings

I was in my driveway at home, its in a resedential neighborhood, no bases or power plants near by.

Full Description & Details

I went outside at around 830 pm to throw out garbage because it was smelling the kitchen up. I threw it out and as i was walking in, i saw this bright single light in the sky.....it was like a bright orange color like as if it were a ball of fire. It remained completely still. I got my mother outside to look at it because i had never seen anything like it. We were both just staring at it wondering what it could be. My mother stated that its a fire in the sky, and i got a little irritated saying " how in the heck is that a fire in the sky, how is that even possible"? She than went into the house to get her camera, but couldn't find it. When she came back out, about 2 to 3 minutes later, three other balls cames out of no where and started moving around each other just to the left of the other one that still remained perfectly still. We couldn't believe what we were seeing. This lasted about 4 or 5 minutes, and than the three dissapeared, seconds after, the perfectly sill one dissappeared. Ive obviosly seen fireworks before, airplanes at night before, these were neither. There were no festivals or anything else at the time. I later found out 2 weeks later that my younger cousin had saw the same thing.

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

These weren't stars, defenently not a planet, not a moon not a bird or cloud. Nothing man made neither, did't look at all like any plane ive ever seen at night.

Witness Background

I work at a moving and storage company. We also do landscaping and newsonce abadement. I have an Associates degree in Criminal Justice.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Ive always believed somewhat about ufo's. I just always realized that this universe is too enormous for earth to be the only place for life. Now after seeing this, i am 100 percent a believer in ufo's.

Other Comments

If there is someone i can talk to about this, i would just like some kind of explanation or information about what i saw. Thsi isn't somthing i can just put to the side and forget about. This was very real.

Summary:

I was at school in the technology room when I saw it out the window. I'm not sure if my friend next to me or anyone else saw it. Mr. Green looked out the window and said it was a hellicopter but I was not convinced

Date Reported:

10/27/2011 5:14:16 AM

Sighting Time: 

After 9:00 AM

Day/Night: 

Daytime

No. of Witnesses: 

3 or more

Duration: 

a few seconds

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

It was silver with a few blue and red lights and no windows. Ok it did look a bit like a hellicopter but the tail and the front part were more rounded and there was no propeller and I'd like to see a silver airoplane. It was almost as if it was a flying saucer and part of it had been cut off only it obviously wasn't a crash landing as it moved slowly and just went straight past.

Size of Object(s)

From where I was and how I saw it it looked just about two centimetres but in reality I suppose it was the size of a bungalow.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

It must have been four miles above ground and several miles further away.

Description of Area / Surroundings

We were just in a small town. There are parks, shops, schools, banks, houses and an airport just down the road but nothing like power plants or military bases.

Full Description & Details

Well I was in Mr. Green's classroom cutting out shapes with my friend James when I looked up out the window and there it was. I gave a loud exclaimation telling people I'd seen a ufo. James said it was a hellicopter but by then it was nearly out of sight. My teacher Mr. Green went over to the window and told me it was a hellicopter but he had to lean to the side and over a table so I doubt he had a good view of it.

Witness Background

It's my first year at high school and I am a firm believer in aliens but I'm afraid not many of my classmates are.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I think aliens have been coming here for centuries so they must have technology way beyond humans but there are plenty of discoveries just waiting at our feet so we could travel to other worlds in the future. The thing is if aliens were clever enough to come all the way here they'd probably be a threat as the cleverer something is the more likely it is to be a preadator but then maybe they'll be nice seeing as we are looking for alien life and have no intentions on destroying it. Whatever they've come here for we should approach them nicely as guns and locking things up is not the answer.

I admiit I'm not the best ufo spotter in the world. Once I thought I saw a ufo but it turned out to be the light bulb reflected in the window.
