Appearance / Description of Object(s)The object was dark even in the sky. Now that I think about it - it makes sense - a dark unlit object can't easily be seen at night...until it's close. But at the time, I wasn't thinking about that at all. I was just watching it. No lights anywhere that I noticed. As it got closer, it was enormous. At least a football field length long - maybe bigger but I couldn't see it completely becuase it was so close overhead. Then, the lights were on but it just glowed on the bottom. Don't know what the top was like...never saw it. Size of Object(s)At least a football field length - maybe bigger. Description of Area / SurroundingsWhere I live there is a military base. Large base. They test a lot of planes. Where I remember seeing the object/dreaming it? was in an intersection - nothing was around but the town where I used to live was Grand Forks, ND and there is a military base there too. And that is where I thought I was - North Dakota???? Full Description & DetailsThis occurred late at night - I was sleeping. I'm still not sure if it was a lucid dream, or what, but it bothers me. The first thing I remember is I was standing on a street corner - no cars were around. It was late at night and there was another girl standing near me, to my left side. I did not know her. I felt like I was waiting for something but did not know what exactly. The intersection reminded me of one in North Dakota where I lived a few years ago... because my surroundings were flat unlike my current residence where there are lots of trees and some hills. I looked to the sky and saw this dark object - it looked like a dark ball - no lights. And I thought to myself, huh, I that's not so big, I thought they'd be bigger. But then I realized that it was far away because it grew in size.
Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?It could DEFINATELY be explained as a dream but that was one hell of a dream then.

I have been interested in them and I have not read them all but I have read a lot about them. I have never dreamed of them before. Other CommentsI want to know what this was. Did I dream it? It felt very real. I have drawn the pictures of it. I've gone back through the books my dad gave me about UFO's trying to find something - something similar - but I found nothing. I did find your URL/email address from the book: The Threat. I skimmed it and don't recall anything similar to my experience. I don't remember ever having anything like this before.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)Moving east to west(right to left) across my wind shield. A flaming ball with blue center surrounded by yellow trailing into orange and red. like a candle flame going horizontally and leaving a red trail. Came from beyond my vision behind trees and passed beyond trees on opposite side and out of my field of vision. Size of Object(s)Dime sized at arms length. Hard to judge because of speed and duration but the size remained the same across the windshield. Distance to Object(s) & Altitude150 to 200 feet in altitude,1/8 mile ahead of me approx. Description of Area / SurroundingsSemi-rural,industrialized area. Many power lines and chemical factories in the area(DuPont etc.) Not aware of power plants. Full Description & DetailsDriving northbound in tractor trailer on 295 in southern NJ. Saw a flame pass from east to west directly across my field of vision in windshield. I thought at the time it might be a plane on fire or a satellite re-entry. It looked like someone had tossed a burning match head across the front of my truck. Sighting was approximately 2-3 seconds in duration and could not have been something thrown because I was driving around 60-65 MPH. It was not a jet engine flame because it flickered and trailed like a torch flame without any semblance of forced gasses behind it. It had a blue center like a gas flame with a yellow and red and orange corona and tail. The tail was mostly orange and red growing redder the farther away from the head of the flame.
Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?The only possible explanation is a piece of space junk burning up on reentry or a plane on fire but it did not look anything like the shuttle pieces I saw on TV and there was no visible fusilage of a plane. The flame did not diminish in size ,or grow,across the windshield so it was probably moving slightly northward, my direction of travel.

Views on UFOs, before and after sightingI have read about UFO's and believe that odds are we're not alone in this vast universe. I don't claim this as a sighting of an alien craft.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)Gold coloured, possible metallic appearance with pattern in darker colour (like a brown/plum colour in my photo). The sun appears to be reflecting off the top. Size of Object(s)I do not know the size as didn't see the object at the time of walking up the road so if it could possibly be some kind of of UFO then it must have been invisible to the naked eye - at a rough guess from looking at the photo it can't be no bigger than 3 feet in diameter...but this is rough guess. Distance to Object(s) & AltitudeIt appears to be about 5 - 6 metres off the ground and was only about 30 - 40 feet away? Description of Area / SurroundingsUrban area, small cobbled stoned street fairly steep slope with not many shops or restaurants around as it was in quiet area. No cars or trams on this street, only people. It was a little street down below from the castle which is on a large hill (we we walking up to the castle). Full Description & DetailsWhen I got our holiday photos developed I noticed this one had a strange gold coloured sphere shape which appears to be floating in mid-air in front of a white building further up the top of the road and there appears to be a smaller version near ground level in front of some people walking (although hard to tell for sure as a bit blured). At the time I thought it may have been part of the facade of the white building (like a decorative shield) but then I had some photos of Prague taken back in July 2002 so I checked these and I had a picture of the same street and there is nothing on the white building. I don't recall there being any christmas decorations hanging around at the time (in fact the side street we were in was rather plain and quiet). At the time the photo was taken it was broad day light with blue skies and sun with no rain or snow. The only possibly explanation I can come up with was some kind of balloon was either hanging in the middle of the road on invisible ropes or was floating around after someone let it go. If you look closely, there is some kind of pattern on the object but hard to tell if an actual pattern or writing but it's coloured darker and has curves to it.

When I was young (around 10 - 11 years old) I saw something in the sky which to this day I can't explain - it was a large dark black object shaped like a rectangle or box and was hoovering above the roofs of the local houses to where I lived in London, UK. It was not a plane because it seemed to be floating in mid air and I remember looking up at it for a while - can't remember if it moved but then it disappeared at some point out of view.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)This highly reflective object was quite large easily being over 100 feet wide. It was a cigar shape but more oval on the sides than round, being maybe 20 feet in diameter and it had spere in the middle of it protruding from the center top. The spere was more a dome on top of the body and was maybe a third of width longwise of this ship. Picture a small ball cut in half placed placed on the top center of a semi smushed cigar but all dark polished mirror surface. I could see that it was made of sections that if separated would have evenly divided the it lengthwise into four or five sections. It had no lights whatsoever or at least they were not lit and it made absolutely no sound and it moved in a perfect straight line and traveled side ways meaning the long side of the body moved forward with the dome sitting on top so there were no visible moving parts, it was solid and looked solid and clean. Size of Object(s)If I stretched out my arm it would be 6 inches to hold in the view of my widespread fingers. I would have to estimate the length of this cigar shaped ship to be no less than 100 ft wide, and with an oval cross section of 30 feet wide by 20 feet high with a round half dome of about 30 ft. in diameter sitting on the top and in the middle of it. Distance to Object(s) & AltitudeIt was flying as high as I see helicopters fly by. 400' to 600' plus or minus Description of Area / SurroundingsWe live in suburban town right outside of Houston so while on certain night we have clear skies we are limited somewhat by the light pollution that reflects off the sky. This particular night it was hazy, cool and somewhat windy. Certain bright stars could still be seen throught the hazy sky, however there were no clouds. There are now military bases that I'm aware of in this area (Zip Code 77459) only a small airport around 5 miles away which serves Sugar Land mainly for small and private aircraft. It did seem to be moving parallel with a some large powerlines that maybe a mile from our home. Full Description & DetailsThe weather had been warm and humid throught most of the month of October so when the cool front finally came into our suburb town of Missouri City, located just southwest of Houston, my wife asked me to come outside to our patio to just sit and enjoy the much awaited cool breeze. Well cool it was, somewhere in the upper '60's and breezy just enough to make the tree tops sway so all that could be heard was the wind passing through the leaves. The skies were hazy, but not cloudy almost a medium grey tone. This of course is a result from local light pollution reflecting on our skies. A couple dozen or so stars managed to shine through this haze anyhow. Well we were talking face to face and our patio is open to one end almost in the shape of a U so my right side was facing the open end. Well I was about the comment on something when out of my right peripheral vision up in the sky at about I spotted something moving so naturally I turned to see it. I sprang to my feet out of astonishment in what I was seeing. It was an object, a ship like I had never seen passing throught the night sky almost directly over my adjacent neighors back yard only it was maybe four or six hundred feet high but was of a good size. Immediately I ran to the middle of our backyard dragging my wife by her arm hardly being able to speak I cried to her to look at up at the sky and bare witness to what I'm seeing here, I pointed at it! It was moving in a perfectly straight heading in a southerly direction and moving slowly, ominously and without any noise nor any lights, it was almost invisible, nearly cloked but since I caught its movement I was able to focus on it and clearly see it's shape and what its surface looked like. Had it not been for the ambient lighting of city light pollution and the grey lit sky serving as a backdrop I might have missed it since it's surface appeared to be reflective, a mirrored surface but a dark polished mirrored chrome which reflected everything around it including the grey sky and lights off the ground. I saw it clearly for what seemed a long time but infact was more like 15 to 20 seconds. It was utterly fantastic and some what frightening to witness this. I could hardly believe it was happening and I was there at the right time. However much to my disappointment it went beyond the tree line in our backyard before my wife could see it as well but. Well we ran through our home to the front to hopefully get a second glimpse of this slow moving object but we were unable to spot again. Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?The shape of this flying object was one like I have never seen before. I've seen many military experimental craft and am a Sci-fi fan but not even in any movies have I seen such a shape. It was running under power as it took a steady course flying at an even altitude and maybe traveling 100 mph or less. It was moving slowy but steadily and was almost unoticable if you didnt catch its movement. Think Predator from the movie, you can see the outline and that it reflects it's environment, practically cloaked. Just amazing in size. Witness BackgroundDesigner for Civil Engineerig Firm, 4 Years College Views on UFOs, before and after sightingI'm 39 years old and as a youth always dreamt of journey's to the stars in make believe of course. I've been a Star Wars fan since youth so yes I looked up many nights wonder what is out there. Through out my life I witnessed maybe one other time what seemed to be lights that seemed to dance across the dark sky but they were too high an altitude see other than what looked like bright stars zipping back and fourth. There were three of them and they traveled back and fourth like no airplane could and finally just zipped off in separate directions. I was a young teenager when I saw these walking home one night while looking up at the heavens. I never saw them again, only in dreams of course but who doesn't. I'm not one to dismiss the possibility of UFO's and I am intrigued by the whole notion but I have never really seen something so amazing real with my own two eyes. I believe there many things with no explanation but I'm a rational average man with a family. I would like to see it again but since that night a few days ago have not had any luck. I am fortunate to have witnessed this and would like to know if any one else might have seen this particular shaped flying object. I have a sketch I drew up the very next day and would be happy to scan it and send it to you. Thanks for your time Reported Sighting?NoName:DanielYour Location:Missouri City, Tx. 77459Age:39 |

Appearance / Description of Object(s)A round orange red solid ball or globe. Size of Object(s)For relative size, it would probably have been about 1/2 inch to 1 inch. For actual size it looked to be at least 1/10th the size of the full moon. Distance to Object(s) & AltitudeThese distances and altitudes are given in the report above. Description of Area / SurroundingsDescription given in report above. Full Description & DetailsMy Girlfriend and her brother and his girlfriend and myself, (4 people in all), were out on a double-date and it was getting late, about 1:00 a.m. in the morning. We were out on a lonely country dirt road with hardly any traffic and there were open , fenced pastures on both sides of the road with very few trees around us. We had just pulled over to talk awhile about the country band we were in at the time and other things when all of a sudden, something caught my attention out of the corner of my eye and when I turned my head from the direction of my girlfriend to look through the windshield, I witnessed a round orange red ball or globe, which looked solid, rising up from below the horizon slowly and stopping right next to the full moon at about the lower left hand corner of the moon, which, itself was just above the horizon.
Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?We all 4 agreed to this: This object did not come from this planet with our limited technologies.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)Small ball of light. Size of Object(s)A little bit bigger than a football. Distance to Object(s) & AltitudeA little higher than a house. Description of Area / SurroundingsRural area small street of about 5 houses. Full Description & DetailsAccount of the Sighting - I was walking my dog late at night in June cannot remeber exact date. I was walking toward the entrance of my street when i saw in a south direction a Light Ball coming toward me it was far away from my location I looked at it and thought it was just a helicopter because we do sometimes get many helicopters in my area I did not take much notice of it. I then got to the entrance of my street the light was getting closer the motion of the light was very slow but i noticed something that ruled out the possibillity of it being a helicopter because there was no sound and its not normal for helicopters to be silent. I carried on going down my street and just looked on at the craft coming towards me i got to the house and the light was nearly to my location i put the dog in my house and looked up at the object at this time i knew i had to do something so i went inside very quickly and got my camera on the way to get my camera i alerted my parents and said there was a UFO i don't think they heard me i said it so quick. I rushed out and the light was above my house and as i took a picture the object blasted downwards and left a small light trail. I went back inside and my parents were still downstairs (my house has two floors but you enter the top floor first and then as you go in there are stairs going down). I asked my parents to come and take a look at my picture and were amazed at what was on the picture i have enclosed the picture of the light its a really good close up picture and you can really see what i saw was so strange.

Size of Object(s)Relative size was about 1/8 inch. for each object, and about 1 inch across for the entire formation. The actual size is a bit difficult to tell. Description of Area / SurroundingsIt is a densely populated area. The only site near the area is a chain of mountains. Full Description & DetailsLet me tell you that I lost a little bit of belive in sightings, they all seemed to be hoaks. I'd seen some (not many, only about 2 or 3) unusual things in the night skies in the past, but thougt they were just satellites. That was 'till this event happend.
Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?Could not be stars because the event started with some light in the sky and there werent any. It was a clear night so no clouds. Since the objects did not move they weren't birds. Blimps and weather ballons aren't common in this region. So we (the community) would know about them.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)The object was not visible directly. The first flash, which was also the brightest, had a magnitude comprable to that of Venus. The flash and streak that followed became dimmer. The light was white in color, there may have been a bluish hue to it, but it was likely a result of the contrast of the white on black. Size of Object(s)The object was not directly visible Description of Area / SurroundingsWas in a suburban area. The sighting occurred in my backyard which backs up to a park. The tree line was just below where the object appeared in the sky. No special features in the area. Full Description & DetailsThe 2 flashes and 1 streak were seen in the northern sky at about 40 degrees in altitude at an estimated magnitude similar to if not brighter than Venus. It initially appeared to be an iridium flare, however the flash appeared again, but dimmer. Its final appearance was as a dim steak of light a few degrees in length. I assume it was the same object as a straight line could be drawn from where the flashes and streak occurred. I can rule out a fireball, as it was traveling too slow and during the 15 seconds or so I saw it, the object moved only about 5 to 10 degrees (towards the horizon.) I doubt it was a disabled satellite, tumbling in its orbit because its appearance in the sky was too short, but it should not be ruled out as a possibility. I doubt it was an extraterrestrial vehicle
Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?As stated earlier, it is unlikely that the object was a fireball, as it was moving to slow. It is most likely a decaying satellite tumbling in its orbit. (I have a lot of confidence in this explaination, but what's interesting is that the sighting was so short) Witness BackgroundI am a trustworthy person, I do not suffer from any mental problems except A.D.D. and it is important to note that i'm also a boy scout.
