The grounds encompass \u00b11,000 acres and include a public airport (PMP), Goodyear Blimp operations center, horse stables, outdoor shopping mall, municipal golf course and dog park. My vehicle was parked in the public parking lot located at the southeast corner of the property, approximately 25-feet from a chain link fence that denotes the border of the airport grounds. I frequently park in that lot and have become accustomed to seeing aircraft take off from runways 28 and 33. The confluence of the runways is \u00b11,000-feet west of the fence line at that location. Airplanes that take off from runway 28 fly directly over the parking lot at a very low altitude. The weather was clear and visibility was excellent. I had my (prescription) sunglasses on and was monitoring some thunderclouds that were forming off in the distance, to the west/northwest. I was sitting on the tailgate of my truck, facing the airport. I\u2019d just removed my shoes and was looking down at my feet when I heard an airplane making its way down the runway. I looked up to see a small prop plane that had just taken off from runway 33. It was headed south/southeast, moving right to left, and was \u00b150-feet off the ground when I focused in on it. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed an object at a higher altitude that was moving left to right, in the opposite direction of (i.e. towards) the airplane. From my vantage point, the object appeared to pass directly over the airplane. I thought to myself \u201cthe pilot must have seen that.\u201d Because the object was much smaller than the airplane, I assumed that it was a helium filled party balloon. I looked away and thought how dangerous it was for something like that to be floating in the airspace of the airport. Immediately, something didn\u2019t sit right with me. I looked back, relocated and started tracking the object. I watched it very closely for \u00b15 seconds until it was out of my view. It definitely wasn\u2019t an airplane, helicopter, balloon or any kind of drone that I\u2019ve ever seen. I don\u2019t know what it was. It stuck out like a sore thumb, thanks in part to the contrast provided by the backdrop of the thunderclouds that were forming in the distance, but more so in the way that it moved. It moved effortlessly and never varied in speed or altitude. It was as if the object was gliding on an invisible track or rail. Most curiously, it seemed to be tumbling, every which way. Nonetheless, its trajectory was in a perfectly straight line and it was moving much faster than the plane. It was surreal. The shape of the object has proven difficult to describe. It had no discernible points, edges or sharp angels. Rather, everything was rounded and smooth. It was slightly oblong, kind of like if you squished a football from end to end. - It was the size of a large trash can or 55-gallon drum; - It was flying at an altitude 2 to 3 times higher than the airplane; - It was moving 3 to 4 times faster than the airplane; - It was solid black and not reflective; - It didn\u2019t have any windows, doors, seams or markings; - It didn\u2019t have any lights or make any sound; - It didn\u2019t have any props or rotors. Although there were other cars in the parking lot, no one else was around. Presumably, they were out on the trail. There may have been people on the golf course who saw it, as it flew right over it and out of my view.

Pikchuck and beyond, I spotted a very, very fast-rising, very brilliant flashing craft.The sun was high, aprox. at 2 PM. During the rise, which started above the highest Olympic peak - I see all the highest peaks - I attributed the flashes to sun reflections as the sky was lightly clouded with mostly wispy, very high cover with widely-scattered denser, small cloud groups to the East.This craft appeared at first to be on a collision trajectory with a large, twin engine Boeing, dusty blue fuselage, white wings apparently on the test range route, North, from Paine Field, at approx. 5000 Ft. However this craft passed nearly directly above the Boeing plane, perhaps 3 - 7000 Ft higher.It continued in a straight trajectory East, rising very fast, flashing brilliant bronze, blinding white, and polished aluminum, as if a multi, flat-sided, spinning shape reflected sunlight, or its own powerful, pulsed light that apparently covered the entire structure.On an apparent constant straight climb angle, it was entering the group of denser clouds to the East over the Cascades, I estimate 60, 000 Ft+ altitude. Apperaing to pass through lower clouds, as the flashes and now very small-appearing craft disappeared-reappeared between clouds, the flashing and color continued. At this point I was barely able to discern the craft, except the brilliant flashing continued.However high, it was still on the 35 - 45 degree climb trajectory as it became too small against the moderately blue sky to the East of the clouds it went through.It was happening so fast I didn't think to check my phone for time. I estimate the E.T. to be aprox. 60 - 90 seconds.Served in the Navy and watching Navy Aircraft, as a speed reference, this craft was not particularly much faster than full throttle fighter planes. However, I imagine they would be sorely taxed to catch or intercept, or reach ATA strike velocity.The most remarkable feature was the brilliant, multi metallic colored flashing that covered the entire craft every flash.As this event was a weekday and I'm retired, and I figured the very brief elapsed time and trajectory would likely preclude all, if anyone else observing this with a similar vantage, I didn't search for any place to share my experience. Therefore, all I recall about the date is mid-May.This morning I checked for any search record of this siting. This site came up.

It materialized as a dimly illuminated condensation cloud/fog that disappeared just as quick as it came.My girlfriend and I were stargazing in the backyard of her stepdads house in the country, about 6 miles northwest of Topeka. The only visible light was from the windows of the house. We both were staring directly over our heads as the object seemed to go thru the moist air at a unmeasurable velocity of speed. It was traveling due west and appeared for 1-2 secs. It was as if it were cloaked and the vapor it caused were the only means of visibility.The only reference to size is my index and thumb about a inch, inch and a half apart with my arm fully extended in front of my field of view looking straight in the sky. Which the only visible portion of the objects travel path being about directly above us to over a tree that stands maybe 25 ft high to the west of us on the south side of the fence which on the other side is hundreds of acres of farming fields.From 1st sight directly above us; to disapperance; it covered this vast part of sky above us almost to the horizon in a matter of seconds, 2 max. We were sitting inside the fenced in backyard of chain about belly button high. We sat in a backwards leaning lawn chair with my girlfriend sitting directly on my lap with the back of her head on my shoulder so we both had the same field of view. We had a blanket 3ft behind us on a clothes line which we used as a block of the ambient light of the house windows.The light it illuminated was almost rainbow spectrum In There Was No Solid Color To Associate With It. I saw it flash above which is what drew my eyes, it being dark out i thought maybe my eyes were tricking me, so I asked my girlfriend if she \"just saw that,\" and at the same time as if she was gonna say the samething and finished by answering the question, she said she wasn\u2019t going to say anything cause she thought her eyes were messing with her also, and \"umm...yeah i ((word deleted)) saw that!\" Even if we had the equipment to record the sky that night we would\u2019ve needed about 6 cameras in night vision coving as much of the sky as possible and it would have been a one in a million chance of actually capturing it.I've been interested in RESEARCHING the unknown as pertains to ufo and ebe\u2019s, to secret dark government/military space programs. With all the channels I subscribe to and talk shows I listen to it was just a matter of time before my girlfriend would become interested in the subject herself but it was not until a few days ago that the 1st ufo sighting I\u2019ve experienced and hers as well which brought all the things she hears me listening to and watching become something brought to fruition, a experience, something that was just a subject until we had a 1st hand witnessing of something almost indescribable due to it or anything similar in nature have never been reported by anyone worldwide (to our knowledge) which created way more questions than the simple satisfaction of just observing an anomaly.That experience has turned my ole lady who is a former collegiate gymnast that gives private lessons to people who would let something like this make them think I'm \"one of them people\" and id have no clients for income. From that standpoint To now another believer via 1st hand experience. In the years of interest in the subject and years of listening to coast to coast I have never heard anything close to describing the sighting that we had. With the Uniqueness of the appearance of the object materializing/causing a disturbance in the air which gave shape, speed and size. Im a graphic artist and am currently opening my own costom silk screen printing and tattoo shop. I've been in the tshirt business for about 2 1/2 years running a store in downtown topeka. sometimes solo and still pushing out 300 shirts worth of orders. On breaks id watch videos and as a graphic artist was highly disappointed in all the cgi and disinformation out there that i didnt know what to/not to look for. Hence this being my 1st in 35 years of life.The reason I'm reporting this is due to its unique nature and the curiosity it spewed out of me. Wondering if anyone anywhere at anytime has experienced anything similar at all.That night we also observed a few other unexplainable events that we have never experienced. One being a unknown light due south of us close to the kansas river, about 1-2 miles away and what appeared 200-300ft above the ground, as we were looking upward, in the lower peripheral of our vision the light just appeared out of nowhere ad grew in intensity to the point of illuminating part o the sky, as the flash happened we looked for the light which had vanished as quickly as it appeared. Another light like that also appeared on the western horizon about a hour after the river one.We also witnessed what appeared as \u201cstars\u201d moving a high rate of speed. 2 of them going directly north to a south southwest direction. The third one seemed to come from the southwest and curved back towards the north west with another light directly behind it about 10-15 seconds. All of these id probably hafta say were satellites in orbit and maybe the iss.We witnessed what seemed to be a couple military aircraft that were flying directly across from each other maybe 10miles wing tip to wing tip at the same altitude and velocity with nothing but a red light to identify both of them as they came out of the western horizon and disappearing into the eastern horizon.Around 12:15 we witnessed a \u201caircraft\u201d with A Single Bright Yellowish Light That Didn\u2019t Flash, traveled north to south but the thing that caught our attention was the erratic movements. It seemed to glitch, the best ways to describe it. It\u2019d seem to stand still for a couple seconds then dash forward, move left and right in very jerky, not smooth at all movement. The best I can describe it is visual glitching causing it to skip fwd in space to make up for the time that it was in a static position. Only explanation I have for that one is maybe the air temps and atmospheric variables that makes stars twinkle and seem to oscillate light intensities." ], [ "5/20/17 22:00", "Pleasant Hill", "CA", "Cylinder", "1 hour", "Bright white cylinder, suspended at between 1000 and 1500 feet elevation above DVC college.", "6/2/17", 20170520, 2017, 5, 20, 60.0, 60.0, "http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/reports/134/S134234.html", "Bright white cylinder, suspended at between 1000 and 1500 feet elevation above DVC college." ], [ "5/20/17 21:02", "Mechanicsville", "VA", "Fireball", "120 seconds", "I was facing north, 2 bright amber glowing objects, moving together due W across the sky.

I live at the base of two mountains in a valley where this sighting occurred. Against the blue sky I noticed what appeared to be a plane over the mountain west of my house. I paid no further attention and went back inside my house. Approximately two to three minutes later a sound that I cannot describe as I have never heard anything like it before became very loud to the point I had to cover my ears. The air seemed like it was electrically charged and my body was suffering from the sound. Almost like standing in front of a bass guitar amp played at loud volume. The first thing that came to mind was that the plane I had seen was crashing. I went to my front door, which has a storm door as well entirely made of glass. The storm door was vibrating so strongly I thought it was going to shatter. I ran outside afraid that the plane was going to crash into my house and that is when I noticed what can only be described as a cigar shaped UFO, only one end came to a point where the other was rounded like a cigar. It was approximately seventy five feet off the ground hovering parallel with a stand of trees that runs adjacent to my drive way. These trees are very old and tall, the craft seemed to be able to push the tops of trees out of the way as it continued to move. It should have definitely made contact with the top of several trees but I could see them being pushed out of the way as if by some invisible force. The length of the craft was easily two hundred feet at a minimum. It had the appearance of brushed aluminum. Even in the broad day light it seemed to emit a yellow/gold light from underneath it. I watched all of this over the course of several minutes until it drifted away out of sight. It then appeared instantaneously over a mountain approximately a half mile in the distance where it went over the crest and down the other side. I know that I should have been able to see it ascend the mountain! But after the trees had blocked my view and it was out of sight for approximately ten seconds when it appeared out of nowhere at the top of said mountain. The moment I came outside of my house the noise and \"vibrations\" stopped. The craft made absolutely no noise and the only sound I heard while watching it was the rustling of the leaves as the UFO moved over them. I live in a wooded area and it is the first time I have ever heard complete silence. No birds or insects made any noise and at this point almost three hours later it is still dead silent. I could see no windows but there were two spots that almost seemed like they were made of mercury very fluid like. They appeared to ripple as the sun reflected off them. I have no mental health problems and I am not on any medication. My nose had started to bleed at some point when I was watching the ufo but I did not notice it until I went inside but by this time my white T-shirt had been covered in quite a bit of blood so it had to be bleeding for several minutes. I have had a terri! ble headache ever since the noises and vibrations. I know I'm jumping around a lot in my text, I'm still shaking from the event and my mind is racing. I know what I saw was not a hallucination or a misidentification. I could feel the heat radiating from the UFO and had I walked a hundred yards I could have been underneath it. That is how close it was. I hope I never see anything like that again. The whole event happened over five minutes. However when I went back inside thirty to forty minutes had passed. I had been recording a TV show on DVR that had just come on at 1:30 pm. The program was an hour long and when I had went back inside my house the program was nearly done with maybe fifteen minutes left." ], [ "5/20/15 08:00", "Tallahassee", "FL", "Light", "30 minutes", "Stationary star-like like directly overhead at least 50,000 ft , photos reveal round shadow object and contrail", "5/22/15", 20150520, 2015, 5, 20, 30.0, 30.0, "http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/reports/118/S118966.html", "stationary star-like like directly overhead at least 50,000 ft , photos reveal round shadow object and contrailI was outside having a cup of coffee enjoying the morning sun before going to work.

At first I thought it was a jet at very high altitude with the sun's light was reflecting off of it. However, it was not moving. It was stationary at very high altitude. Not flickering, not flashing. no changing color. Just a star like object stationary for at least 30 min. During this time I called Tallahasse airport and asked to speak to the tower. After being shuffled around and having to tell my story severaL times, I spoke to the tower and they did not have anything on radar. I also took approximately 10 photos with my smartphone. I could not tell if I had got the object in the photos but I did notice while taking them that a contrail was present in my camera screen, but not visible to my naked eye. I then went in to work, and looked at the photos and saw the pictures did capture the contrail, and a couple did have the star object but only visble on greater magnification, although somewhat fuzzy. Most interesting are the round shadow like objects captured in the photos but not visible to my naked eye. I also captured a jet in one photo and it does give one a bit of a perspective. Could it have been Venus, Jupiter, or Saturn visible at 8:30 am on a bright sunny morning? I dont know. I think it was really a object at very high altitute maybe 50-100,000 ft. There were a couple of jets that went by during the event and this object was higher. The contrail and round grey shadow objects appear to be at different altitudes. I dont think they are ghost images or reflections off of something. I took several photos with them in the photos and they are in the same location (using the playfort fabric roof as a reference point).

The flash would occur 2-3 times very quickly, then it would occur again to the left of where the last occurred about half a second to a second later, then again for a third time to the left of the previous again half a second to a second after the previous. It would all repeat again roughly starting back to where the flashes came from the first time (they were moving) and continue in the same order.The three flashing lights were moving at the same speed, at the same distance apart, and at the same height (being about the same altitude as a large passenger jet would be when circling or turning to land) as they came closer. So it appeared that all three were some how attached. For a brief moment I thought it may have been three airplanes in a formation and their flashing lights just happened to occur to appear one after the other. It was obviously not a single airplane as the right most and left most flashing lights were to far apart even for a large jet. However, I quickly realized that I've never seen any airplane lights flash 2-3 times very quickly like these did.I therefore continued to watch these flashing lights. Together they turned and started heading West much like a large airplane would do. The three flashing lights got closer to each other while turning to go West. This is when I called my wife to come outside. She came out and we watched them until we could no longer see the flashes of lights. It lasted 3-5 minutes from the time I first saw the flashing lights to the point I could no longer see them.To help describe it, a very simple example would be to imagine looking at a stick (horizontal with one end pointing East and the other West) with a light that flashes on the end pointing East, after it stops then a light flashes in the middle of the stick, after it stops a light flashes on the other end of the stick pointing West. Then slowly turn it so the end the was pointed East points South/South-East and the end that was pointing West points North/North-West. While turning it the lights will appear to get closer to each other.There were no other lights such as a red strobe light or any lights that were constantly on. No objects could be seen, only the flashing lights. I could not hear any sound but the A/C unit for my house and neighbors were running. The way the three flashing lights appeared to be connected and how they turned would resemble an airplane(a light on each wing and one on the nose or underneath between the wings). However the span from the light on the right to the light on the left was way to long to be a single airplane. Maybe it could have been three planes in a formation but I've never seen lights on a plane flash 2-3 times that quickly. Also the timing of the lights flashing one after the other would seem very unlikely across three planes." ], [ "5/20/13 21:35", "Delray Beach", "FL", "Light", "2 minutes", "Pulsing silent "ultra bright light" in the east skies of Delray Beach", "6/2/13", 20130520, 2013, 5, 20, 2.0, 2.0, "http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/reports/097/S97964.html", "Pulsing silent \"ultra bright light\" in the east skies of Delray BeachAt about 9'ish I went outside on my balcony and noticed a bright pulsing light next to the radio tower.

You mentioned that in the previous week you were astounded that there were over 400 UFO sightings. I reviewed some of the sitings and they seemed very easily explainable to me. One of them, in Maine, I believe was very obviously the B-1 Bomber in the sky. I checked with a local AFB website (Creech AFB has a website - near my home in Pahrump, NV) and as I expected, the Air force - specifically the B -1 Squadron out of Texas) was doing Green Flag exercises from May 17 - May 31. These are exercises which replicate exact tactics that are being used currently in Afghanistan. They are also trying out a new targeting system which explains the sighting in Cleveland or Indianapolis, I believe, where someone saw planes flying in formation chasing a white light - it turned red (blew up), then vanished (because it disintegrated in the air). This is typical Air force exercises that occur at different times for military readiness. I hope this helps with your quest. I am an extraterrestrial hopeful, and am always interested in extraterrestrial life - would like to believe we are being visited, but in these cases the only vists are from Uncle Sam. Thank you.

Could you please direct me to the website you accessed? Also, if you spoke with someone in the U. S. Air Force, could you please provide me with a name of, and a telephone number for, that person. I recognize that any aircraft in the air might give rise to a UFO sighting, but the U. S. Air Force probably does not shoot down \u201ctargets\u201d over civilian areas, or even over unpopulated forests, given the damage and injury that could occur.Other aspects of your observation that I don\u2019t understand is why two B-1B bombers would be flying in close formation, and why they would have bright lights on them. Moreover, they are very loud, and even at a distance of many miles, they would have had a sonic signature. Thank you, again!

The temperature was comfortable - probably at least 20 degrees Celsius. No wind. The West sky had a red-orange glow to it. The 5 of is witnessed what we feel was a UFO sighting. Two brilliant red round objects emerged from the North, flew towards us in unison, and then changed direction to the west.

I started a process of elimination & felt strongly it was not an airplane, a helicopter, a comet, or a balloon.

I was thinking that what I saw did an elliptical type track - from the north, headed south, turned towards the west, and then circled around to its original position. I also thought that as an alternative this 2nd set may be a completely new set of lights (and not the 1st). I started filming it at 8:38pm. The 2 objects appeared to take the same path as the 1st set of objects. I only saw bright red as the dominant colour.

They had appeared in that location and would reappear in different spots around that vicinity for about thirty seconds. All of the streaking motion was in the vertical axis travelling downward and left shimmering white tails behind them. There seemed to be an initial moment of rapid activity from when they appeared and were performing some type of quantum like relocation behaviour to different spots and then making the downward streaking motions releasing light or energy. At this point it was too rapid to pinpoint them as craft or energy and we could not make a count of them. After this initial period was over, there were two craft that could be seen as steady objects moving side by side across the valley and over the mountain. They primarily gave off a sequenced white flashing light as they moved along. It was bright white just like the streaking, but much more softer and not shimmery. A small red light could be seen on the objects at the low points of the flashing. They moved slowly at a moderate altitude and gave off no sound at all as it was very silent out also. After they disappeared over the mountain ridge to the south, we were discussing how incredible it was too see such an object and it's initial performance, and a third one appeared in the same spot in the quantum bouncing and vertical downward streaking motions and immediately travelled at a lower altitude than the first two with a path directly overtop of us and our fire with the same flashing light and a moderate flying speed. Due to the lower altitude of this craft and it being directly above us, I was able to see a blueish green soft hued glow in a disc shape as it was directly above us. This craft passed over and continued in a straight line towards the mountain ridge where the first two had gone. About 10 to 15 minutes after those craft left our area, on the opposing ridge of the mountain they had disappeared behind, I saw a green streaking meteorite enter the atmosphere along the ridge and then crash on the other side of the ridge. I was tempted to ride over to see what it was but it was still not sunrise yet, and didn't know the trails in the area well enough alone. We stayed by the fire for a bit after the meteor to see if there was any other activity. There was a point of some noise from birds awakening in the morning, and one moment where I thought I heard some strange noises coming from across the river in that direction, but they seemed more cerebral than aural. There was a brief moment after that when we both felt watched and were too nervous to leave the fire even for a tent twenty feet away.

When it reality it was a triangle shape, the event lasted roughly 6-7 seconds. After this I was dumbfounded, and before the words could leave my mouth my friend that was behind me said, \u201cYea, I just saw it to.

At first, living in California, I thought I was having vertigo so I stood up and walked around a bit to get the blood flowing, but I still felt the distant rumbling. At that point I realized that it might be an earthquake. I've been through the Northridge quake and quite a few others, but it didn't seem too serious so I went back to reading, but after about another 45 seconds it intensified to the point where objects were tipping/moving/falling etc., and typical earthquake events such as car alarms going off and my electricity shutting off. The shaking was accompanied by what could be described as a military jet flying over very low at subsonic speeds. This is also a common occurrence due to the numerous air bases in Southern California (Edwards, March Air Base et al.). At this point I was terrified and so I went outside as I was on! a second story of a building and fearful that it may collapse beneath me (Which would make the first floor even less safe) and when I emerged from the building I could notice quite a few trees shaking on my property as in a strong gust. I walked up the road a ways (I live in a semi-rural area albeit somewhat close to the city) to my neighbor's house to see if he was okay since he had just began rebuilding his outdoor second story patio and only half of the wood beams had been installed so far. He was also standing out in the road and he yelled to me as I approached and was pointing at me, but I couldn't hear him over the 'jet noise'. As I got closer, however, I could make out that he was saying \"Look.\" and pointing not at me, but behind me.It was at that point that I turned around and saw what I believe to be a single craft. The reason I say it was a craft was that it was moving slowly about 300-500 feet off of the ground and the noise was relative to it spatially, i.e. as it passed over the road, moving perpendicular to our view of it, the noise followed it. It was shaped like two contact lenses attached to one another with the side that would be placed on the eye as the welding point, or what ever. For the brief time I saw it (about 15 seconds) it appeared to me to have similar mass to about one city block. There was a multi-colored light on the top and the bottom and two white lights on either side of it. It moved to where it was obscured from our view by two oak trees so both me and my friend pursued it. When we were underneath the trees we heard the jet sound disappear in what I can only describe as a 'sucking' transition to silence. It went from very high volume and intensity to an anti-crescendo and by the time we emerged on the other side of the two oaks it had disappeared from sight." ], [ "5/20/11 22:00", "Talking Rock", "GA", "Circle", "", "3 circles in the sky with a bright light!", "5/29/11", 20110520, 2011, 5, 20, "", "", "http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/reports/081/S81328.html", "3 circles in the sky with a bright light!I was walking out to my car to put a trash bag over my car window in case in started raining.

There was no clear shape to the object and it was emitting a brilliant green light. The best way I can describe it was a small green ball of light that changed several different levels of intensity from very bright to dim, then back to bright, then dim, and back to bright and then complete darkness. There was also what looked to be a green cloud around the object. I am not sure if the light was producing the cloud or if it was just traveling through water vapor in the atmosphere. The object maintained a steady altitude and my best guess would be that it was one and one half miles away and traveling at approximately 600-700mph. The object did not produce a sound that could be heard from my vantage point. It was only visible for probably four seconds before going completely dark, which is a fairly decent amount of time to observe it. I know that it was not a meteor because the way it was changing to several different levels of intensity from bright to dim and back to bright. It was also maintaining a steady smooth altitude and going much slower than a meteor. There were faint clouds in that section of the sky obstructing the view of the stars. I am not sure how far away or high the clouds were. It was not navigation or strobe lights from an aircraft. I have spent half my life dealing with aviation and have seen thousands of aircraft in flight in daylight and in darkness. I have certainly seen over one hundred meteors in my life and this was much different. I have seen green meteorites illuminate and then burn out.

It ended about 1:30 AM, and I went up to bed. My husband was crashed out in the basement, so I decided to leave him there. I climbed into my bed next to my daughter (who frequently sneaks out of her bed to sleep with me). I must have been exhausted and just crashed, which is odd for me, because it usually takes several minutes to get to sleep, even when it's late. The next morning, I woke up extremely dehydrated and recalled a very startling and vivid \u201cdream\u201d of being around aliens and UFOs. This was so startling, and unlike any other dream that I\u2019ve ever had, so I decided to explore other options, such as an actual abduction. I\u2019ve heard of the UFO/alien phenomena, but had never given it much consideration till this event.I don't recall being \"beamed up\" but I clearly remember being taken somehow to a place with a lot of hallways. Then I remember feeling like I was being instructed to urinate in a long and wide tube with strange markings on the side. I think the markings indicated measurements or something. The last thing I remember was being on the ground, outside, in what looked like a vacant/abandoned parking lot. I remember the concrete had lots of cracks in it like it was old and worn. There were evergreen trees surrounding this place. There were other people standing around me with cages of small animals, like house cats, birds, dogs, etc. I got the feeling like these people around me were going to release them. I remember feeling like it was approaching morning, but it was still dark outside. I looked up in the sky and noticed several (at least four) UFO craft very near above the ground of this parking lot, just hovering. There were three red lights coming from the bottom of them that ! blurred or blinked till they became one light beam. It's very hard to explain. These craft were larger than I\u2019d have expected for what you see on television. I guess I\u2019d always pictured them being the size of a small bus, but these were the size of a large home. I don\u2019t remember ever being inside of the craft, but being inside of a building or structure near this lot. The other people there, like me, weren't completely in reality. It was like we were in a trance. I remember standing in this lot, looking up, and seeing one UFO fly high, stop, fly a little bit to the left, stop, fly higher, stop, and then flew off and vanished. So, after looking up at these UFOs from the ground, I remember it all of a sudden clicking (like a switch had been turned on) that this wasn't normal... And I remember taking off running as fast as I could. I had just snapped back to reality. As soon as I started to run, I recall the others, which I assumed had also been taken, almost clicking too and ! scattering in all directions. The last thing I recall is some ! kind of luminescent \"beam\" of sorts encasing me as I ran.I woke up very dehydrated, a bit weak, and still tired, but I remembered this almost like it had really happened. After that night, I had a minor sore throat and occasional minor pains in my abdomen. This lasted about two weeks, off and on. Ordinarily, I would have chalked this up to just being a dream or my subconscious manifesting my fears in an odd way, but the next day, my daughter said something extremely startling to me...\"Mommy, who were those boys that came and took you when you were sleeping?\" I questioned her a little, but I didn't want to push it with her, so I sort of left it be. She didn't seem particularly worried or concerned about it, just curious. (She was just shy of 4 years old at the time.) I\u2019ve since asked her about it off and on, and she doesn\u2019t appear to recall much more than she already said.Since then, I\u2019ve started to attend MUFON meetings and I joined a group for experiencers and have been speaking with the leader, who is also a regression therapist. I haven\u2019t shared this with anybody outside of this small group about this experience. I\u2019m pretty sure my peers, family, and friends would think I\u2019m crazy, so I would like to keep this somewhat anonymous.Upon reflection of this event, I started to piece together a few of my memories from childhood, and start questioning them more. For example, I remember a period of missing time when I was about 12 years old, where there were several hours unaccounted for. I had never even thought to question the \u201cmissing time\u201d or even heard that phrase till after this last event occurred.If any of this seems relevant, please feel free to contact me, but I would appreciate my name being withheld from any public report." ], [ "5/20/10 23:40", "Port Hawkesbury (Canada)", "NS", "Light", "15 Mins", "Five UFO's one very Close and Zipped away very fast", "6/3/10", 20100520, 2010, 5, 20, 15.0, 15.0, "http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/reports/075/S75482.html", "Five UFO's one very Close and Zipped away very fastOn My Way Back From Work i looked up into the night sky and the Lower Ranged Clouds Were traveling Fast and The Upper Clouds about Half the Speed, Then i Spotted What Looked to be a Bright Star at first then Started to Move ( i Thought it could have been because of the Clouds moving Creating an illusion ) but it started to move right and left and Strait Pretty Fast then Zip it was gone i could kinda see a trail of some sort, then not far from it i saw about Four Others Grouping Up in a bunch then disperse further Apart, I Quickly Ran inside my house in a panic to let my Girlfriend Know and dragged her out to see and she saw one moving as well and i saw a very dim one ( Very Hard to see ) moving around all over far away I swear This is the Absolute Truth and i can stand In any Court to testify with Full Honesty that what i saw this night is honest to the best of my knowledge" ], [ "5/20/10 22:10", "Boonsboro", "MD", "Oval", "20 min", "A large ball of pulsating light with 2 smaller flashes of light shooting out from the sides then disappearing.", "6/3/10", 20100520, 2010, 5, 20, 20.0, 20.0, "http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/reports/075/S75476.html", "A large ball of pulsating light with 2 smaller flashes of light shooting out from the sides then disappearing.A large ball of white pulsating light that seemed to change to an orange color was very low to the ground it seemed to be hovering and there was no sound what-so ever.

It was then that I noticed that the moon was becoming extremely bright, so bright that I began worry that someone might see me, and become offended. I then noticed that the light that was shining so brightly was not the moon at all, the moon being white in color. This was yellow, so close to the color of a street light, that I thought for a brief moment that maybe someone had installed a telephone pole and street light in our yard. That ridiculous notion was taken from me when the \"street light\" began to slowly move in the direction of the clouds. The light had been so close to the ground that it had eclipsed the moon, but as it moved, I could see the moon again. The light then seemed to shrink in on itself, not unlike a dimmer switch connected to a light bulb. It startled me to the point that I had forgotten I was still indecently exposed. As I stood there, mouth agape, I was starled yet again. This time it was bone chilling. As a hole in the clouds opened up, I saw the night sky clearly. The stars were easy to see, and were clearly stationary, because the clouds were moving very fast, but the stars were remaining still. But what startled me was the sheer number of yellow stars. They were moving in the same direction as the clouds, and these \"yellow stars\" were above the clouds, because they would be covered up by the clouds as they moved. It occured to me then, that the yellow lights were in our atmosphere, because they were much clearer to see than the stars. I know they were just above the clouds, because some of them were doing what I had seen the first one I noticed doing. They looked like they would have been part of the star field, but they were too many and too clearly observed. To be honest, I thought that we were being invaded. I know, I know, I watch alot of movies, but this was the real thing! I was honestly scared, and I figured that maybe I had better go tell my loved ones that I love them. I was a little shaky as I ran inside to get my brother and mother. I got into the door, and stopped, realizing the enormity of what I was about to say to them. My mother looked at me expectantly, knowing somehow, that I had some important news. At this point I thought, if they are going to think I'm going crazy, then I'm going to force this on them, instead of just telling them. So I said,\" Mom, you have to help me now!\" Then I turned, and ran out the front door. They followed me, but when they saw the lights, they came up short. There were dozens, maybe hundreds, above the clouds, and they would show up in the dozens below the clouds. However, when they would show up below the clouds, it seemed that they were there already, but not shining. Then the light would intensify, sustain, then dim. Sometimes they would just dissapear into a cloud, and would actually \"burn\" holes in the clouds. I then called my grandma, my best friends, my other friends. Several of my friends were in different places, a couple miles away, but when they went outside, they were amazed. Many people saw these lights, and I think many people are afraid to admit it. I was just watching them, when three jets came roaring in a speeds much faster than lights were moving. The lights did not appear to flee. Instead, they just dimmed down, until you could not see them. They would appear in different intervals in many different places, only to dissapear again. After that there were helicopters flying in really low. They could not get near a light, but it was clear that the pilots were aware of the lights, and desired to close in on them. But it was the same thing as with the jets.By this time there were very few showing up close to the! ground, instead they all seemed to slowly move on to the west! . At abo ut eleven o'clock, I had decided to get the little camera we have. I was waiting for another to come low enough to photograph, but I had to settle for one that was actually at a high altitude. As I took the picture, and the flash went off, the camera died from loss of power. It was probably only coincidence, but the wireless internet at my house was knocked out of service at that exact moment. Upon recharging the camera, I found no picture recorded. That is too bad. I was so excited about seeing these things, that I lost my priorities. Next time I see anything like that, I'm going to have a camera waiting." ], [ "5/20/10 19:15", "Beverly Hills", "MI", "Cigar", "5 seconds", "Fast moving, low flying, very large and long metallic object seen in daylight.", "6/3/10", 20100520, 2010, 5, 20, 0.08333333333333333, 0.08333333333333333, "http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/reports/075/S75481.html", "Fast moving, low flying, very large and long metallic object seen in daylight.I saw a very large metal craft, cigar shaped, flying extremely low and fast going from North to South over 13 Mile Rd about a mile or two from where I was.

Through my binoculars I saw, rather, four tiny objects extremely close to one another producing these enormous chemtrails. The objects, of what I can say were chevron shaped, and silver, traveled at a faster pace than an airliner, heading SW, and at an altitude, I would guess, of 15 to 20 thousand feet. What struck me as very odd was the precision of these four small craft and the much larger chemtrails they produced. They were so precise in there close proximity to one another and produced identical chemtrails that it appeared to be one object, like the four engined jet that I first thought it was. However, I did see through the binoculars that they were four distinct objects.

After a couple of minutes I noticed from the passenger seat out of the corner of my eye this gray \"flat\" object zooming along with us. I thought it was a bird it was relatively close and then when the object didn't swoop down or up like a normal bird would - I began paying attention. As I watched this thing in broad daylight against a blue sky and white puffy clouds fly as fast as we were driving (I don't know the distance ratio in relation to us or how fast it was flying - only that it was keeping up with our vehicle). I naturally assumed it was a plane (we have a small airport relatively close nearby) then noticed it had no wings and was round. I immediately drew my grandmother's and father's attention towards it and they both saw it and acknowledged it but thought it was a plane in the distance. My dad, however, kept watching it out of the corner of his eye while he was driving watching it along with me.The road we were on has big trees periodically as you're traveling along. For the duration of about 2-3 minutes this thing was driving along what seemed to be next to us (we were driving about 60mph) and then it flew behind this big group of trees and disappeared. So strange!! I just figured that the \"plane\" turned a different direction that we were unable to see?? We came to a stop sign in that particular road and headed north on an intersecting road and this object all of a sudden appeared on my father's side (who was driving) and I noticed it. If this was a regular plane, we would have seen it continue to fly with us and end up crossing our path (since it was originally flying parallel to us) but it had disappeared behind the trees and then re-appeared on the opposite side of the road. It then continued to drive (seemingly) along with us again!! We were of course paying attention to the road driving and we took our attention away and it disappeared yet again!We all decided this was very odd but dismissed it anyway. THEN ... we made it to our exit onto I-57 headed north (within about 5-6 minutes from last seeing it) and it re-appeared again only this time bigger than it was before. It was flying on the west side of the interstate and was flying much higher this time and faster. It began to speed ahead of us like a shot out of a cannon. Then it suddenly stopped. It was hovering!! Any doubt that I had that this truly was an airplane that I had simply misunderstood ... vanished when WE ALL saw that thing hovering. There was a semitruck and a couple of cars that were pulled over on the side of the road pointing up at this thing! We continued to our destination and it was still in the air hovering. I looked back one last time and could not see it. The weirdest thing I ever saw!!! I would never tell anyone for fear of being called a lunatic. I consider myself a reliable source and was not alone in my sighting of this thing. Seeing it on a Sunday morning in broad daylight was also very odd. I always hear of people seeing these things at night with lights but this was in the morning! ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

I knew, from the altitude that this moving \"light\" appeared to be, that whatever it was that I was looking at, must either be the space-station, or a satillite.

It made a turn; not abrupt, but a gradual, gentle course change. It then accelerated, gaining speed quite rapidly, and I watched it until it trailed off from sight. The bright \"beam\" that I refer to, in the middle of this object, seemed to gain in luminosity when it was directly over my head. In other words, one second, it wasn't bright. Then, quite suddenly, when it was directly overhead, it was! I ruled out an airplane, as they have red, and green blinking lights on their wings. I thought that the brilliant light \"beam\" could have been an airplanes landing lights. But there was no change in the luminosity that should have accompanied the deployment of landing lights in front of or around this object. Besides, with no blinking of any kind noted, it seemed unlikely that this was an aircraft.

Since the sun was fully visible and the clouds were thin I couldn't understand how the blimp was casting a shadow if it itself wasn't visible where it should be located. As I watched the shadow, it headed slowly to the North changing shape as it moved over the edges of the scattered clouds as one would expect to see from a large moving object above them creating the shadow.The cloud layer wasn't too large so the shadow finally disappeared as it left the layer on the right after about 30 seconds. I continued to watch for anything that could have created the shadow thinking it would appear out of the sun maybe or was obscured by the clouds. Nothing was ever seen in the sky for the 15 or so minutes I continued to watch and no other clouds were in the sky that afternoon at any level that could have caused the shadow.No sound was ever heard and considering the size of the shadow and the estimated four to five thousand foot cloud layer, from past experiences if it had been the blimp I'm sure I would have heard it as it would have been upwind of my location and not all that far away.This \"sighting\" has haunted me for months now without an explanation and I am submitting it in the hopes that someone else around this time period may have witnessed it as well.I consider myself to be a credible witness being a private pilot with a passion towards anything that flies.

Also check out this thread in a forum in which I post and its the topic about the UFO sighting I posted immediately after I saw it http://www.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=515667&highlight= Could this have been a military practice?

I looked up to the night sky towards the moon, (as I do every night) and I noticed what appeared to be a star except it didn\u2019t seem to fit with the constellations. I\u2019m not saying I know all my constellations, I\u2019m just saying it didn\u2019t fit. Now this star was directly Underneath the moon and I thought to myself is it moving or doe\u2019s it just appear as so because I was moving. So I stopped, and low and behold the \"star\" was still descending very rapidly. I called over a few co-workers, and the security guard on duty to take a look. Just for self-satisfaction that I wasn\u2019t crazy. We all continued to watch it descend, now when I say descend I don\u2019t mean on an angle, it was dropping straight down. Not at a speed you would contribute to something falling from the sky, and then at a certain point it looked as though it stopped, and wavered a little then it continued its journey down. Just before it got below my line of sight from the roof of my job, it just vanished. For as many years as I have been looking up (I\u2019m 25 now) I have never seen anything so peculiar in my life. It was probably nothing, I just figured I\u2019d share what I saw in case you receive similar reports.Regards, ((name deleted))((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS))Mr. Davenport,I was facing S-SE. It was moving niether left or right, but verticly down from my perception. If I were to assume a situation where I thought this perticular insident would fit. It would be something free falling, then it stopped, and then continued to decsend verticly down at a slower rate. IE: Free falling, parachute deploy, gradule decsent. It was also the brightest object in that vecinity, very far from my location. Before it dropped from my line of sight the light vanished.

It followed beside the car all the way until we got past the Mission Church (about a twenty-five or thirty minute drive) and then it just disappeared.Earlier that night there was a report from the local Sheriff that he was following a light on the cut across road from Heart Butte to East Glacier. He was on the scanner and he sounded pretty shook up. He said that the light let him chase it until he got in between Heart Butte and East Glacier and then it lit up where his vehicle was like it was broad day light and he turned around and took off from the light.The next day or two the story about the Sheriff came up in the local news paper the Glacier Reporter. The Glacier Reporter was asking for any information or any other sightings that happened that night but I was to shook up and actually kind of scared to tell my story to anyone.This is the first time I ever told someone, other than my in-laws and my brother about this story.((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate.

He said, \"There is a UFO out here!\" I went out as fast as I could, since I am disabled and don't move very fast. It took me about one minute to get out there...then I looked in the direction he was pointing (almost straight up). Here is what I saw: The object was approximately 1/2 to 3/4 as wide as a full moon. It was definitely cigar-shaped and brilliant white. It looked just like a fuselage of a jet with absolutely no wings. It was traveling from about 030 deg (NNE) on a compass to about 210 (SSW), which is exactly perpendicular to my house as it is oriented. (That is why I am so sure of the directional travel of the object) I would estimate it was quite a ways up into the sky, approximately 3 to 5 thousand feet, although it is difficult to say with no other reference points. The object made absolutely no sound. The skies were clear blue. It was near 7:00 P.M. I first picked up the object at an inclination of about 80 degrees (azimuth 030) and followed it for about 3 minutes until it was at an inclination of about 50 degrees (azimuth 210). It made no sudden acceleration or deceleration during the entire travel. It then flashed BRILLIANT WHITE, so bright I lost sight of the shape of the object. The flash was almost as big as a full moon! About five seconds later it flashed a second time (identical to the first time). Then the object just disappeared! I have emailed a sketch of the object, but it really isn't very detailed as I didn't see much detail other than the shape of the object itself. The sketch includes the object shape, the relation of a full moon in size, and the size of the 2 \"bursts of light\" that the object made, in relation to the size of the object. This is the second time in my life I have seen something that is absolutely unexplainable in the sky. (The first being in Mancelona, Michigan in 1978). I used to be a UFO skeptic. I still have not been convinced that these objects are extraterrestrial, but I can say with absolute certainty that there are \"unidentifiable objects\" traveling through the atmosphere of this planet. I know there are more than one type since I have seen for myself two distinct shapes of these objects. It is certainly well past time for our government to \"come clean\" on what they know about these objects.

And as far as I knew only planets did that. So I thought it was a planet, but something seemed to make me second guess it. I leveled my hand with it vertically to a nearby star. The object went in and out of view from behind my hand. I started to ask them (my friends) if they saw it as well, and one of my friends said and I'm quoting \"Do you see that star? It's F***ing moving man!\".\tWe continued watching it go back and forth for several minutes. I saw a \"satelite\" and pointed it out. It was going in the direction of the object, off at 30 degree or so. It continued until it passed the object on the left side. It started to go around in a large circle until it was on level with the object, and TURNED 45 degrees heading directly at it.\tWe were all watching it with anticipation of what was happening and freaked out. What happened next is what got us. It hit on the right side and a flash or spark went shotting out the left side at about 3 times the speed. When it hit we all said some exclamations.

It was moving very slowly towards the original spot and then it kinda started to glow brighter and the red light faded and it kept repeating this dimming out of site on a clear starry night and then appearing in another spot and then flashing very brightly not like any thing you have ever seen in the air.

As I honed in on the shine, I clearly saw 5 oval, pill shaped crafts, stationary in a 5 dot pattern formation. The ships would then all swing up and out, down and back in to produce a new 5 dot pattern. (I likened it to braille patterns. I got the impression they were producing communication with the different patterns.) They continued to display different patterns.

As if in a supervisory roll, or to monitor any \"dot pattern\" messages being sent to them, idk. The storm cloud was not high in the sky, it was smaller and by itself, so lots of sun shine. All 6 air ships had dark bottoms and shiny metallic roofs. I figured the dark bottoms helped them stay concealed under the dark looking storm cloud.

I then walked over to him and looked into the sky and asked him what he saw. He said he saw a streak of light in the sky that looked like a Firefly. I then looked in the direction he was looking and suddenly I saw a quick, Bright streak of light that was very thin moving from West to East. I said that looks like a meteor. about 30 seconds later, another streak of light was in the exact area but this time it went from east to west. I was then kind of freaked out to see the same thing, in the exact area but going the opposite direction. At that time my Mother, my Brother and his Girlfriend walked over to see what we were looking at when the same streak of light appeared again, This time going from North to south in the same exact area. We were all wondering what we were seeing. I attempted to explain it as a meteor shower but we all agreed it would not be in the exact same area in the sky. About 1 minute passed when we then saw a bright strobe type flash in the sky Just south and lower in the horizon from where we saw the steaks of light. about 5 seconds later, another flash of light appeared futher south and even lower in the horizon. We continued to look into the sky for several more minutes when we once again saw the bright flash of light, This time is was towards the east of the other light flashes. It was now we all realized that this was no meteor shower so I ran in to get the Video Camera. Unfotunately we never saw the objects again. I can only describe the steaks of light as \"Pencil thin\",White Streaks with no contrails. They only went a distance of your hand streached out in the sky. All 4 steaks of light (3 which I saw)were within an area of the sky where as if you were to hold out both hands and make a circle with your thumbs and pinky fingers.

The 3 bright flashes we saw resembled an Aircraft Stobe light but about 3 times brighter. At about 2030hrs I telephoned the nearest Air Force Base (Edwards AFB)which is about 70 miles away. I spoke to a person at their command post who said he had no idea what I saw and that no information about any flight testing or Military operations could be given out. He then gave me the phone number to the UFO reporting center. I then called the reporting center and spoke with Mr. Davenport and told him about the incident. He said that what I saw was very unusual and was not from \"This earth\". What my family and I saw last night was definately the most unusual thing we have ever saw. We believe the \"Sightings\" were of alien nature but we are not really sure. My wife was in the house during the time of the incident and now she thinks im crazy.

I looked straight up, because the facility is well lighted, both inside and out, making star gazing less than spectacular. I happened to focus on what I believed to be two ordinary stationary stars. One star was of medium brightness, and the other star, at the 3:00 o'clock position, was very dim, just half as bright, and about the distance of a quarter held at arms lenght from the other star. Suddenly, the dim star, just a speck of light, made sharp, angular manuevers, all within close proximity to the other star. I remember exclaiming to myself \"holy mackerel, that thing is moving\". I nearly ran inside to get my work partner, but I was afraid to lose track of it, so I just kept watching. Then the pin prick of light made a circular move, which brought it to the opposite side of the stationary star, to the 9:00 o'clock position. These moves only lasted 4 to 5 seconds, maybe a moment more or less. It hesitated for a split second, and then headed south. I had the presense of mind to start counting: one-one thousand, two-one thousand, three-one thousand, four-one thousand, five-one thousand, six-one thousand, gone!!! over the southern horizon, where I lost sight of it at about 15 degrees over the horizon. This speck of light had no sound and no tail. It never flared brighter or dimmer. This speck of light, which I perceived to be very high in the atmosphere, crossed half the night sky in six seconds!! It did not blink. After making its manuevers and going south it did not accelerate, but simlpy arrived at its intended speed and went absolutely straight.

Suddenly, the object took off in an upward arch south and disappeared into space without making a sound. It moved at the speed of light!

Motion slowed down like trying to move through a thick clear substance with a wave motion. The next thing we remember was that we were trying to clear off the dinner table until I realized it was near 1am. I told the girls to go to bed. Upon waking in the morning, none of us had any recollection of any of this...not until afternoon when my husband asked if I remembered anything about bright lights and wondered if it was just a dream. Then the memories flooded back. During the entire day we were all wondering what the massive influx of army helicopters flying over the house was all about. We were then approached by a neighbor who had also seen bright lights the night before. Being a retired colonel, he had made a number of phone calls to inquire about the helicopters. At first they told him there were no helicopters in the area. When he could actually give the numbers off the bottom of the aircraft, they blocked his calls.

The following was witnessed by me, and at least 4 of my friends. The event occured in April or perhaps May of 1991. I was dark but it hadn't been dark very long. I'd guess it was 9:00. A group of us were in my friends apartment (Lincoln Parkway apartments) when one of my friends called us out to the second story balcony of the apartment. \"hey guys check this out.. are these UFO's or something?\" We went out of the desk and there were several lights about 40-45 degrees above the horizon (from our perspective).. These lights were moving fairly slowly in our general direction.. as them moved closes they seemed to be following each other, one after the other.. I would call it a \"string\" of lights..there were 7 or maybe 8 of them. I'm almost certain that these lights were moving independantly of each other and were not part of a single, huge object. The lights were a deep, amber red. I'm fairly certain the red lights were on continually and were bright. In addition, each \"craft\" also had what I remember to be several strobes blinking in a repeating, irregular, odd pattern not like the once every 3 second strobes of an airplane. the repeating strobe pattern (of maybe seven individual blinks) that each craft had repeated I would guess every second or so. I got the impression that these lights were fairly close to us.. and the size of each was maybe the size of a small plane. (20 feet diameter each?) I didn't notice any sounds from these lights. I actually got the cordless phone and called my roomate (who was in my apartment in the next building) and told him to go out on the balcony and look at what we were seeing.. I asked him what he thought they were and he said \"I don't know, a train??\" which was obviously not the case because trains don't fly, and these things were definitely in the air. But the lights were \"train like\" with one following the other blinking their weird lights. The distance between these lights in this string was not far. They seems to be much closer together than what I would think to be a safe distance. A couple years later I noticed a formation of helicopters flying, one after the other, and I took note that the distance between the helicopters was much farther apart than the lights that we say. Actually, I do remember that the noise of a train going by on nearby track was audible at the time. this may have also been what caused my friend to give \"train\" as an explaination. If there were any sound of the craft, the train noise may have gotten in the way of us hearing anything). But had it been 6 Cesnas that close, I'm certain I would have heard the engines. Still watching the lights, I called the police on the phone I was holding. the woman who answered said \"Oh, you know what those are? they're ultralight aircraft\". This I doubted. I had seen ultralight aircraft in the area before. But never to my knowledge at night, and never flying in formation. The crazy blinking pattern of these lights was unlike anything I had seen on any airplane before. Seeing one of these things would have been curious, but It's possible that I may have just dismissed it as a plane that had odd lights but I doubt it. These lights were weird, and there were 6 or seven of them! Interestingly, the police-woman I was talking to told me that in a neary by town (Fairbault) there had been a newspaper story of some UFO sightings a week or so previous to the night I was talking to her. (more about this later). The lights continued closer and closer to us and seemed to get lower. Slowly, the lights drifted past us to our left and from our perspective they disappeared along the tree line. After the initial string of lights disappeard to our left, 3-5 minutes past and then we looked up and saw another single craft appear in the some location in the sky that the initial group appeared. It moves slowly along, following the path that the other lights took. I seem to remember this one being slightly different. I believe it was smaller, but perhaps it wasn't. It had similar red lights and blinking strobes. The entire sighting lasted about 8 minutes. I later regretted not getting out of the building and going out in the field past the trees to see if I could continue to see the lights, but to be honest, I was scared. The next day I called the Fairbault newspaper and asked about the article that had been printed. The reporter verified that he had in fact written an article that discussed a couple of sightings in that area. I believe he mentioned that someone had seen a strange light shining a beam down or something like that. He also mentioned that a local farmer farmer had apparantly also had a sighting around the same time as us. This farmer had had sightings in years past and even had experienced cattle mutilations. The reported took my name and we talked about him possibly writing a new story talking about our sightings, but I didn't pursue it and neither did he so nothing ever happened. I also called the FAA and not surprisingly they weren't helpful. The 1997 \"Phoenix Lights\" reminded me somewhat of what we saw, how the lights appeared in a row. But the lights in that video seemed white, not red, and didn't appear to be moving. The lights we saw were much closer to each other (and to us) than the lights in the Phoenix videos that were widely shown. I know this report lacks certain important information (exact time, date) but I've done the best I can. What I do know is that these were definitely, without question, intelligently controlled craft, not balls of light way off in the distance. These lights were close and sharp and had it been daylight, I'm certain I could describe the shape of these craft, but it was just dark enough that we could only see the lights of the craft, not the shape of the crafts they were attached to. If these craft were man made, they were unlike anything any of the five of us ever recall seeing before or since. This string of lights was moving roughly in an east to west path.

Two hours of time lost during the encounter.Statement of 6/1/13: This encounter occurred during the month of May, 1987. I lived in McPherson, Kansas. My parents lived in Salina, Kansas. My husband was a sheriff\u2019s deputy and worked the 4-12 shift. On Friday or Saturday evenings, I would leave our home early in the evening and take my two daughters, aged 4 and 5 months old, and drive to Salina to visit with my parents for the evening. I always left my parents home at 10:00 in the evening, and always called my mother when I and the children returned home so she knew we were safe and off the highway. It was a 30 minute drive from Salina to McPherson on the highway. Lindsborg is 14 miles from Salina, halfway back to McPherson. As I approached Lindsborg\u2019s lights on my right hand side, I glanced back at my sleeping 4 year old and also at my infant daughter asleep in her carrier in the front seat of my car. I could see the sodium lights of the rest area, called \u201cStuckey\u2019s\u201d about a mile ahead and to my right off the highway. I became aware that I! saw something outside of my driver side window. I looked up in the sky. Around 500 feet up, across the double highway a solid black shape was \u2018hanging\u2019 in the air. I recall there was a red light, a green light and a white light and they were in the corners of the object. I determined it was a black triangle shaped object. It was totally silent, not moving, just hanging there, blotting out the stars and clouds in the night sky. I rolled down my window to listen, but there was no sound except my tires on the pavement. I thought, \u201cI should stop for a moment to see what this is.\u201d I remember pulling over to the side of the road on the highway. There were cars across the grassy center on the opposite side of the highway also stopping. One car behind me was also pulling over. I looked over at my sleeping daughter in the front seat, and opened my car door. I had my right hand on the steering wheel, my left hand on the top of my open door pulling myself up out of the car. My left foot was on the road of the highway, my right still on the floo! rboard o f my car. I looked up and this triangle shape was just THERE. Hanging. Silent with three soft lights barely shining. My car tires bumped up over the raised part of our driveway and I parked my car. I took my 4 year old into the house and put her in her bed. I returned to the car and got my 5 month old daughter and the diaper bag out of the front seat. I set her, in her carrier, down on the couch in the living room and was surprised to see headlights turn into our driveway and flash across our kitchen window. My husband, a sheriff\u2019s deputy, burst into the front door, both angry and worried. \u201cWhere have you been?\u201d he demanded. I was rather surprised but told him, \u201cI just left mothers\u2026what are you doing home so early?\u201d \u201cEARLY?\u201d he shouted, \u201cIt\u2019s midnight! Your mother has been going crazy calling the department, saying you must have had a wreck, I have half the department out looking in the ditches for you!\u201d I was stunned. I looked at the clock on the stove, it said, \u2018 12:05\u2019. I said that was impossible, that I had JUST left there 35 minutes ago. How could it be after midnight? I told him what I had seen in the sky and when he calmed down a bit, he called information and got the name of the Salina Air Base and handed me the phone. I dialed the number and a nice young man answered and I after explaining about the triangle shaped \u2018plane\u2019 I asked him if the Army was testing any new aircraft over the highway between Salina and Lindsborg. He said he was not sure, but he would transfer me to someone that could answer my questions. Another man got on the phone and identified himself as a Colonel. He was very nice at first, questioning me about who was with me when I saw this shape, what time it happened and more general questions. He then turned cold. \u201cWhat is your name, ma'am? What is your address?\u201d I put my hand over the phone and whispered to my husband, \u201cHe wants my name and address..\u201d My husband took the phone out of my hand and hung up. He said, \u201cThey want to know who you are and where you live for a reason..\u201d This was long before the days of caller I.D. and cell phones, being 1987.After that experience, I began to develop a fear of the nighttime. I would go in the car at night, but years went by and I continued to lean forward and search through the windshield for \u201csomething.\u201d I had a very disturbing auditory experience for years, a low heavy \u2018droning\u2019 cycling in and out, I told my husband for years, while holding my ears, \u201cDon\u2019t you HEAR that? It\u2019s driving me crazy!\u201d It sounded like a very large piece of machinery, with a very large engine droning on and on, from very far away. I watched the night sky constantly, and avoided as much as possible going out after dark. I found a place on my right arm, on the back, right above the elbow \u2013 there was something sharp and stabbing in my arm. I would squeeze this area and feel something very sharp deep in the skin. I had it for years. During this time, I would have auditory experiences \u2013 if I stubbed my toe or bumped my shin, a hot \u2018zip of electricity\u2019 would run along the back of my head from one ear to the other and a robotic mechanical voice could be heard only by me. \u201cThe small toe is injured.\u201d \u201cThe right leg is injured.\u201d Always this mechanical, emotionless voice. I thought I was going crazy.I had a total hysterectomy in February of 1997. From the time I had the hysterectomy, the voice, when ever I was injured, stopped. I continued to notice the sharp object on the back of my arm and determined to remove whatever it was, got a needle and began digging on my arm. As I am not left handed and it was on the back of my right arm, this was awkward and not very successful. My husband knew about this sharp object and encouraged me to try to remove it. After considerable digging and squeezing, a piece of razor thin white \u2018plastic\u2019 came out of my arm. It was approximately one inch long and came to a dagger point. I showed my husband the object and he told me to save it. That was in 1999. I regret I cannot remember what I did with this object. My mind conveniently \u2018forgot\u2019 whether I saved it or discarded it.This is my story. My husband is now a Chief of Police and will verify under oath all that I have related. I am quite willing to undergo hypnosis or lie detector to verify my claim.((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date is approximate.

We were both 17 year old high school students, and just strolling and talking together on a warm, clear evening. As it got dark we laid on the grass to watch the stars. We saw an object moving from West to East --- seeming to be at a similar altitude but faster speed than a commercial aircraft. However, it was visible against a starry sky, seemed larger than a jet, and it had an obviously different shape. The object was comprised of 4 or 5 metallic balls connected in a straight line, front to back. What really caught my attention was the fact that it would move across the sky from our left to our right and disappear over the right horizon, only to return in five minutes or so from the left horizon again --- but higher in the sky. This happened maybe four times --- each pass starting higher in the sky. It gave the impression of the object possibly mapping the earth. And the fact that it always went left to right started my friend and me on a discussion of the possibility of there being more than one craft versus one craft circling the globe at an incredible speed. This sighting took place in an extremely quiet, rural town of 7,000 people. If a jet came overhead or a truck passed on the interstate on a quiet night you would hear it. This object made no noise. There was also very little light polution in our location. I have never heard another account of a craft shaped like this one --- several orbs in a row.((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate.

I've been reading about the Hudson Valley sightings and was excited to read that there are many similarities to what I saw, and I'm certain that what I saw is consistent with those events. Here goes: I'm really not sure of the date, but on the evening of the sighting, I was at the opposite end of my house, which was a duplex, sneaking a smoke with my 2 brothers. I remember looking at the sky and saying out loud how cool it would be to see a UFO. Suddenly, my mother called for me and said that I had a telephone call. It was my friend from up the street. He wanted to borrow an audio cassette of my brother's, and asked if I could bring it to his house. He lived in the third house up the street from us, to the east. As I walked to his house by myself, I looked up to my left (North) and saw a formation of lights heading Southeast. There was no sound coming from the lights, so I figured this was something to keep an eye on. I ran to my friend's house and told him he needed to come outside and see what was going on. We walked further up the street to the east and just past the next intersection where we could see that the lights had stopped directly over the local recreation area's pond. There was no noise, and no movement. I can't recall whether the lights were blinking or not. As we were observing the object, a smaller object of white light came over us from the original direction of the larger object (North to South) and seemed to fly up into the center of the lights, where it disappeared. After a few minutes, the object started moving to the Southeast. The recreationarea also has a big sledding hill, over which the object eventually disappeared out of sight. We were pretty excited about the whole incident. I went home and told my mother and brothers what I had seen, and on the local 11 o'clock news, a report about it claimed it was a bunch of private pilots out of the Stormville, NY airport flying in formation as a practical joke. Knowing that airplanes don't hover and do make noise, I can say with 100% certainty that we were not watching private airplanes. Again, I know this was a longtime ago, but I noticed in the articles on the ufoevidence.org wesite there aren't any mentions of anything being sighted in my area.((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate.

I don't know how long it had been, but Her yelling at us to shut up was what made the thing go away. I t bounced as it went, I could only see it till it went a half a block, and burst into nothingness. A blinding nothingness. My brother to this day I haven't spoke to about this phenomenon.

It was around 7 am in the morning and my sister, myself and 4 other children were waiting at the top of the drive above my house (house was down in a dip about 20 feet from the road) on the other side of the road, for our bus which would take us to school that day. Our bus stop was the coming together of two dirt roads and also a kind of last point on the main road before the road took a bend to the right. Up the road on the other side it was flat and straight for a good half mile. A huge double row of 200 foot or more steel power lines crossed the road about half mile or more in the distance. I could see the tops of the lines from the bus stop. I think we were all standing there kinda sleepy, like no talking, when I happened to glance up the road and noticed a bright red light on the power lines. It sat there a few seconds, and then left the lines and started following the road in our direction. There were no other cars or people out just us. I don't remember seeing the red light after it left the lines and I could barely make out a cigar shaped object. Eventually it arrived over our heads, about 30 or so feet. It was really close. It didn't take long to cover the distance down the road, but when it reached the bus stop, it almost stopped and began slowly inching along with the side of the object facing us. At that point, it began to move off the road towards the tree line behind our house. I remember it being just at the top of the trees behind our house and disappearing over the tree line. That would have been correct because our house/treeline was much lower than our bus stop on top of the hill. The object was grey to bluish grey, cigar shaped or kinda oblong cigar shaped. I remember seeing a kinda window on the side up on the end and I had a creepy feeling like something was staring/checking us out. Don't know how to explain that. The object made no sound...that was the thing that even as a kid you knew was not correct, not natural. It glided along on a straight perfect line as if on a track.

Don't get excited, we we're not abducted or anything, but it's a classic story anyhow. It was 1980, an average cloudless bright sunny day. I was like 6 years old at the time (I'll be 30 in March), and my brother was around 11 years old. It was in the afternoon, probably around 1:00 pm (the exact time is hard to remember because I was so young). My brother and I were both in the back seat of our family car while my mother was driving out of our neighborhood. As my mom pulled out of our neighborhood with us two in the back seats, I distinctly remember seeing something in the corner of my eye. My porifrial vision took over in a split of a second. I look to the right of me, up slightly outside of the car window, and I'm stunned by what I'm seeing...a glowing red oval shaped object, not moving at all. Dead still in mid-air. Then suddenly...GONE. It took off directly straight, away from the street we were on...out of sight. My brother sitting in the back seat with me yells, \"Did you see that!!!???\" and I say \"YEAH!\" We were both freaked out and explained what we saw to my mom, and she continued to drive like we were her two little boys making a story up on the fly. \"Wow, you something in the sky?\". This interesting, the shape of the object differs from what I saw and what my brother saw. I saw an oval reddish glowing circle, halow, so you could see a hole through it (like an aerobee frisby). My brother saw an oval shape, solid, no hole. Anyhow, we both saw that it was reddish orange, oval, not moving for 3 seconds and last but not least, it's light speed take off in mid-air.

I had night mares for years of being in a totaly white room with no corners, and a dark object would come closer and closer to me towards my face and then I would wake up. I was stressed for a long time for some reason and for years I was convinced it was from seeing the craft. I had a small round scar on my left legg that I could never explain. It looks like a vaccination mark now. I had my throat checked once for a problem I was having. The doctor went through my nose with a scope to go down to see my throat. He asked me through the course of the check up what did I get opporated on for in my nose. I said I never got an opperation in my nose. He said you had to and I replied, I would know if I did. I had my nose courtorized when I was a child but never an opporation. That was the end of the conversation. I'm not saying I was abducted, but with all the things that happened to me, I sure thought about it. If I had the money, I'd get a whole body scan just to check it out. I would like to say that I and other people I know and talk to, beleive in u.f.o.'s. This is the reason I do. Also, about two years ago, I ran into! an old employer of mine at a store. We were looking for a good ufo movie and my old boss replied, I shouldn't tell you this, but I saw a u.f.o. years ago. Around 1970. He described the \"EXACT\" same thing we saw. And best of all, the same time frame. He lived behind the mountain where the school was located. He and his father saw the same one we did. Everything I mentioned here is 100% true. I'm 47 now and was 16 then, I recall everything I mentioned as if it happened last night. There is no forgetting.

She was with a boyfriend, about one am. It was very dark. She had snuck out of the house. They were parked on a hill, listening to radio and talking. My mother had her foot dangling out the open car door, with her shoe kicked off. All of a sudden, a brilliant white light lit up the entire area. Everything could be seen, like it was daytime. She did not see an obvious source of the light, but she was quite scared. Everything was brightly lit, but not so much that it was impossible to see. A sort of very bright white daylight. There was no sound. She pulled her foot back in, slammed the door, and they drove off as quickly as they could. She was so terrified she does not remember if the light went away, or if they passed out of the illuminated area, though she believes the latter happened. The two of them vowed never to tell anyone, and she hadn't until a day ago, nearly forty years later.((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate.
