I started filming on iPhone 8, which is not the best for recording at night. I live on the 20th floor with a great view of Ontario Lake (I attached an image of the view taken during the day of the same angle as the footage of UFOs). I have recorded about 12 videos and taken 1 photo. In almost every video, an object can be seen shining brightly above the lake. As it slowly descend, a trail of smoke can be visible over it. When it is near the water, another object lights up above the first one with the same pulsating intense light and a trail of smoke. Few seconds later the first object's light slowly go off. Then minutes later the second object does the same manoeuvre and its light goes out. There is a pause of activity for a few minutes, and then the same spectacle repeats, each time the objects seem to be travelling away from me (w! estwards). It was a windless night. I could clearly see the light bouncing off the clouds and the surface of the lake. Its shape appeared to be oval, with the left side of the craft giving off most of the light, and on its right side there were few other bright lights, but not as bright as the main light. These details are not easily distinctive on the videos, but I could see them with my own eyes.

I observed a flying craft approaching from the West over the ocean traveling in an Easterly direction. It appeared as a bright white light which at first I thought to be an airplane or perhaps helicopter. I could see that it was traveling towards me as the light was becoming lager. It was not moving at a very fast rate of speed. Then it began moving in a way that was inconsistent with conventional aircraft that I know of. It moved very quickly several hundred feet to my right and then a few seconds later several hundred feet to my left crossing its original position and then moved rapidly diagonally back across to the right in an upward direction and then again after a few seconds it moved rapidly back to its center position, all motion was in straight lines. At this point it had moved close enough to me that I could see greenish blue lights in a star ! like pattern on either side of the craft, approximately 5 lights on each side. I realized that this was not consistent with conventional aircraft lights. I was now able to also hear the sound that it was making, it sounded like a wooing noise with an oscillating frequency pitch and it continued throughout the time of my observation. At this point I ran in to the house to retrieve my cellphone to video record the event and I returned outside bringing with me a friend that was in the house to witness what was occurring. Upon returning outside the craft had moved over land still heading in the same direction but, my view was now obstructed by the trees in the yard. I was able to see the light now facing from the rear of the craft through the trees as it disappeared from my view. Both myself and my friend could still hear the sound it was making.

It almost looked like the \"angel decoy\" flare release from an AC-130 gunship, except if these were flares, they didn't fall, and it looked like a solid object. The object would periodically appear to change size, and hue/brightness, shrinking to a small point, but it was seen to grow in size again, at least once. Eventually, another object of similar color appeared next to the first (or appeared to split off from the first). We continued watching and eventually went in, as the object was moving to the left and became obscured by trees and houses in the neighborhood. We did not hear any sound, but the object appeared to be fairly distant. I was able to get several (grainy) videos with my iPhone 6 Plus.

IT WAS A NICE CLEAR NIGHT WITH A SLIGHT OFF-SHORE BREEZE OUT OF THE EAST. AT ABOUT 8:45PM, LOOKING NORTH, I NOTICED A LOW FLYING RED LIGHT, TRAVELING FROM THE WEST TO THE EAST. AT ABOUT THE SAME SPEED AS THE AVERAGE CESSNA AIRCRAFT AT 50 DEG. ABOVE THE HORIZON. I RAN AND GOT MY PHONE TO CALL SOME PEOPLE BUT DECIDED TO TRY TO GET VIDEO OF IT WITH THE PHONE, KNOWING THAT IT PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PICK UP ANYTHING USABLE. AFTER A FEW SECONDS ANOTHER RED LIGHT CAME INTO VEIW FOLLOWING THE FIRST FLYING AT A SLIGHTLY LOWER ALTITUDE AT A DISTANCE OF TWO FINGERS TOGETHER AT AN ARMS LENGTH BEHIND THE OTHER ONE. BY THIS TIME I HAD GOT TO THE VERY TOP OF AN EIGHT FOOT LADDER THAT WAS ALREADY SET UP IN THE YARD SO I COULD GET UP ON THE ROOF AND WATCH THESE THINGS AS LONG AND FAR AS POSSABLE. A THIRD OBJECT CAME INTO VEIW SAME ALTITUDE AND DISTANCE AS THE PREVIOUS AND THEN ANOTHER MAKING FOUR! RED LIGHTS FLYING IN A LINE ONE BEHIND THE OTHER. HERE I WAS ON THE ROOF OF MY HOUSE DRESSED IN NOTHING BUT BOXERS AND ALL ALONE WATCHING THESE GUYS TRAVEL BY AND NOBODY AROUND TO YELL TO SOO THEY CAN SEE ALSO. WITH THE LIGHTS ALMOST OUT OF VEIW ON THE EASTERN HORIZON I WAS GETTING READY TO GET OFF THE ROOF THEN ANOTHER TWO LIGHTS CAME INTO VEIW FLYING IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS THE PREVIOUS BUT WHAT APPEARED TO BE CLOSER AND A LITTLE BRIGHTER. THE FITH LIGHT WAS A LITTLE HIGHER THAN THE REST AND THE SIXTH SLIGHTLY LOWER BUT STILL HIGHER THAN THE PREVIOUS FOUR. I AM A 37 YEAR OLD EXPERIENCED ASTRONOMER USING A LARGE TELESCOPE FOR MANY YEARS, I KNOW WHAT SATELLITES LOOK LIKE AND HAVE A GOOD DEAL OF KNOWLEDGE OF AIRCRAFT AND THEIR FLIGHT PATHS AND SUCH. I AM SURE THAT WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT WERE NOT DRONES,CHINESE LANTERNS, WEATHER BALLOONS, SWAMP GAS OR ANY NORMAL AIRCRAFT DUE TO THE LACK OF FLASHING LIGHTS AND MARKERS REQUIRED ON ALL AIRCRAFT NOR WERE THERE ANY OTHER AIRCRAFT AROUND IN THE SKY. AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO AFTER THE SIXTH LIGHT PAST BY, I DECIDED TO GET OFF THE ROOF AND JUMP IN MY CAR. I TOOK NOTE OF THE TIME 9:05PM PACIFIC AND AS FAST AS I COULD I GRABBED SOME PANTS,NIGHT VISION,CAMERA AND SOME BINOCULARS WHICH WERE ALL TOGETHER ON THE DINING TABLE. I HAD ALL OF THESE THINGS READY TO GO BECAUSE I HAVE OBSERVERD THESE RED LIGHTS SEVERAL TIMES IN THE WEEKS PRIOR WHICH WERE REPORTED TO THIS WEB SITE. WHILE I WAS GETTING DRESSED A LOW FLYING HELICOPTER FLEW OVER MY HOUSE FROM THE SOUTH TOWARDS THE NORTH THAT HAD ONLY A FLASHING RED LIGHT ON THE BOTTOM OF IT BUT THIS WAS LIKELY THE NORMAL MEDIVAC HELICOPTER. I HAVE HAD AN IN MY FACE CLOSE ENCOUNTER IN 2001 OF A LOW FLYING TRIANGLE THAT I WAS NOT COMFORTABLE WITH AND WISH NEVER HAPPEND AND SINCE THEN HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT I SAW WITH COUNTLESS HOURS OF READING AND LISTENING TO ANYTHING THAT MAY BE LINKED TO THE SUBJECT IN A QUEST TO GET SOME SORT OF ANSWER TO WHAT I OBSERVED. LAST WEEK I CALLED AM1080 KSCO, A LOCAL AM RADIO STATION AND ASKED THEM TO ! ASK PEOPLE IN THE AREA IF THEY HAD SEEN ANY RED LIGHTS IN THE SKY. I HAVE ASKED POLICE OFFICERS, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL, AND ANYBODY WHO MAY HAVE SOME KIND OF INFORMATION THAT WOULD HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHAT IS FLYN AROUND ABOVE US. I TAKE THIS KIND OF STUFF SERIOUSLY AND WOULD SAY THAT I AM NOT OVERLY SERIOUS ABOUT IT BUT SOME MAY THINK OTHERWISE. ANYWAYS HERE I AM HAULN BUTT DOWN THE ROAD IN MY CAR WITH MY EQUIPTMENT IN HAND IN AN EFFORT TO CATCH UP WITH THESE LIGHTS AND REALIZE THAT I DONT HAVE A CHANCE IN HELL OF CATCHING UP WITH THESE THINGS AND DECIDE TO STOP AT THE NEIGHBORS HOUSE AROUND THE BLOCK. I PULL INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND BEFORE I EVEN TURN OFF THE CAR FOUR KIDS RANGING IN AGE FROM 4 TO 12 COME RUNNING UP TO ME ASKING IF I SAW THE RED LIGHTS IN THE SKY. I TOLD THE KIDS HOLD ON A MINUTE AND TOOK OFF BACK TO MY HOUSE TO GET MY DIGITAL RECORDER. I AM FAMILIAR WITH INTERVEIWING PEOPLE AND KNOW THAT QUESTIONING PEOPLE ESPECIALLY KIDS ALWAYS GOES BETTER IF THEY DONT KNOW T! HEY ARE BEING RECORDED, IT MAY NOT BE TOTALY LEAGAL BUT I FIGU! RE ITS T HE BEST WAY TO DOCUMENT WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO TELL ME. TURNS OUT THEY HAD BEEN WATCHING A FEW RED LIGHTS IN THE WESTERN SKY SINCE ABOUT 8:00PM AND HAD CALLED ME TO TELL ME BUT I DID NOT HAVE MY PHONE ON ME BECAUSE I WAS OUTSIDE IN MY BOXERS WATERING MY LAWN. THE KIDS EVEN DRUG OUT A TELESCOPE INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET TO WATCH THE LIGHTS AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WATCHED A RED LIGHT IN THE WEST STAY STATIONARY FOR OVER A HALF OF AN HOUR THEN WATCHED IT GAIN A LITTLE ALTITUDE AND THEN TAKE OFF AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THE OBJECTS WOULD DISAPPEAR AND THEN REAPPEAR IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION I RECORDED THESES FOUR KIDS SEPERATLY AND GOT SOME EXELENT STUFF.

The first sighting occurred early in the month of August in the town of Centerville. It was probably about 11pm. I had parked my car about 100 yards away from where our harvesters were and was walking back to grab my sweatshirt. It was a clear night and something in the sky caught my eye as I got further away from the bright lights on the tractors. It was a bright orange light (brighter than any star in the sky), and it sat lower on the horizon than anything else. I figured it must be a planet or something, maybe Mars. After I got to my car I stood and watched it for a moment. Occasionally, it would appear as if it was blinking or rotating, flashing different colors: orange, red, and blue. It started making choppy movements, a little to the right and then back, a little up, and then back. I thought I was just seeing things so I ! headed back into the field, got in my forklift and went to pick up blueberry totes. About an hour later, I looked back in the spot where the light was (North west of the field we were working in, almost in the direction of the old Over the Horizon Back Scatter Radar site, which was 8 miles away.The next night, the light showed up in the same exact spot it had originally been the night before, at around 9pm. It remained still. After one of the harvesters broke down, a few of us were standing around talking when I looked up and saw the light slowly moving east across the sky. I said to my boss and co-worker, \"You see that light up there? That's no aircraft that I know of.\" I told them about the night before. They didn't seem to take it very seriously, but they couldn't explain what it was either. That night I texted one of my buddies who was irrigating in Township 25. I told him what happened and asked him if he had seen the light. He hadn't, but said he would keep his eyes open. I had no idea how close or far away the craft was. I saw it several other nights in Centerville, but it would soon fly below the treeline, out of sight.A couple nights later we were at a field in Harrington. That night I watched it fly right overhead, towards where I had first seen it in Centerville. The next time I remember seeing it, we were on the barrens in Columbia. From the field we were harvesting, the windmills on Bull Hill, 15 miles to the northwest, were easily visible. My buddy who I had told about the light, was now irrigating in the fields right next to us. While I was on the back end of a field picking up totes one night, he texted me and said that there's a weird light over by the windmills and that it might be the one I was telling him about. Sure enough, when I got back to where his four-wheeler was, I could see that same light through the tops of the trees. It would move one way real slow, then suddenly shoot back in the other direction. Then it would shoot upwards, then back down. eventually it got below the treeline where we could no longer see it. No aircraft that I have ever known of can maneuver i! n the manner that this craft was. The night after that my buddy texted me around midnight and said, \"Light's back.\" It was higher up in the sky this time and was moving the same way. When it seemed to get close to the windmills, it started doing something I hadn't seen it do before. The orange light faded out, then completely shut off, and was replaced by a dim red light that was blinking in unison with the windmills. My buddy and I watched the light in roughly the same spot for about a week. His girlfriend was there and saw it one night too.On the 26th of August, around 9:30pm, we saw it over by the windmills again, but this time there seemed to be a second one with it, a little further away. After about a month of seeing this one light almost every night, it was really weird to see a second one with it. We watched them both fade out and disappear. A few hours later, around 11pm, my employer and co-worker had left to find the other field that we were moving to. There was nothing else to do, so my buddy and I sat in my truck, listened to the radio, and warmed up until they got back. Around 1:30am I saw the light to the west, at a fairly high altitude. Pretty soon the other two guys got back. They pulled up beside me and I told them that we were watching the UFO light. My employer (who was one of the guys who I had showed the light to in Centerville) said, \"I gotta see this.\" He turned his headlights off, and I showed him where the light was. It was kind of a cloudy night, but there were a lot of b! reaks in the clouds where we could watch the light. Pretty soon, we notice there are more. Four or five more. All the same exact kind of light: bright, solid orange, but occasionally seeming to rotate and flash red, blue, and orange. They didn't seem to be flying in any sort of formation, they were just allover the place. Sometimes they would hover for a while, and then begin making really bizarre movements. They would fade out, completely disappear, and then reappear. We watched one of them slowly move right overhead of us, and then shoot back really fast in the direction from which it came. We were the only four people for miles around at this time. The blueberry harvest is over now, and I haven't seen the light since, but when we get another clear night I will definitely look for it. Seeing this light/lights is probably the strangest thing I've ever experienced. The really weird part is that I saw it so much this past month, that it became a normal occurrence to me. Nonetheless, it is extremely bizarre, and I would really like to! know wh at those craft were.I am in the Air National Guard, 101st ARW Bangor, Maine, as well is my father who is a Senior Master Sergeant and the Wing First Sergeant. He is also a Maine Game Warden. My employer owns a farm right around here, and his father is a retired police officer. My other co-worker who witnessed the lights is in the Army National Guard, and my buddy that was irrigating plans on joining the Marines. None of us have the slightest idea of what these lights could have been. P.S. We attempted to get the light on video several times, but it would not show up on our phone cameras." ], [ "8/27/13 01:15", "West Chester", "PA", "Formation", "on-going", "4 fireballs turn into 8 Orbs, pursued by helicopters and F-16 Jets.", "8/30/13", 20130827, 2013, 8, 27, "on-going", "on-going", "http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/reports/101/S101619.html", "4 fireballs turn into 8 Orbs, pursued by helicopters and F-16 JetsI am drafting this report as the event is on-going.

The helicopter turned off it's spotlight as soon as it started pursuing and as far as I could see, did not turn it back on. The other 4 light are still sitting in the South Western Sky. Also, shortly after the 4 lights flew east, two Military jets flew in from the south (assuming from Dover Airforce Base, which is less than an hour flight at that speed) and headed North East.

I was looking north. There were no collision lights like a normal plane or jet would have. Many jets and planes are seen down here as this area is along the landing path for the San Diego airport. Jets that are flying south will head south along the 5 freeway and then turn east over the 8 freeway in preparation of landing at the San Diego airport.

So I was having a dream and was nearing the end of the dream, when suddenly an Unidentified Flying Object was visible in the sky. There was only a split-second before I and my companions who were travelling with me were all surrounded by a beam of some sort, of which I do not know, and the ground began to tremble, as if an earthquake had just begun.Then, we all began to float upward. The light emitting from the beam was blinding; I wasn't able to see anything outside the beam. As we neared the Unidentified Flying Object, I began convulsing without control, which I believe was a seizure, and was so strong it woke me up. The seizure also carried into when I woke up(about for a second) and I do not have any medical conditions related to seizures.Everything beyond this point is purely speculation, and is an opinion, and entirely non-fact based.Ok. I believe my dream from point of 'abduction'(Abducton - An act of being taken from a point without your consent or free will)to point of seizure was real, due to the vividness of the dream, I almost also could not tell when I crossed a reality threshold of having the seizure and being in my bed. It was like I was just suddenly there.I've never believed in extra-terrestrial existence, but I do now. I was completely skeptical and made aliens look completely impossible in the eyes of my friends, but it happened just an hour or two ago, and forgive my franticness, but I'm afraid I will forget or something. I do not know.I believe it could have been a device which would invert the gravitational pull of a living being from the Earth's gravitational pull to a gravitational push. In essence, a functioning tractor beam to only pick up living beings. The power needed to pull off such an extraordinary feat would require, in my belief, the equivilancy of a 100-Megaton Nuclear Bomb(Using our conventional technology).I've been skeptical of aliens all my life.I do not know if it was 'aliens'. It could have been a government test or something. I have no idea. But this was easily the most radical thing I've witnessed in my entire life. If you've read this all the way through.

Clouds were mostly Cumulus, with a few Stratus cruising across the sky West to East. The wind was Westerly at 12-15 mph (I am a windsurfer and constantly watch clouds and weather).My girlfriend asked if I could see the odd \"striated patterns in the sky that looked like clouds\". I could not see them. Typically, she is very sensitive to everything, and sees and feels things I can't. I replied I can't see but noticed I have an odd pressure in my right ear. She said she had it too, only her whole head.I spotted a white balloon above the palm tree next door to the North. It looked fairly far away and about 5-7mm across (in thumb and forefinger held up \"pinching\" it). It was lit brilliantly by the sun dropping on the horizon. It did not move in the wind. I thought maybe the wind was calm at that elevation. I asked if she saw it. She did. I pointed out that it wasn't moving with the wind.She agreed. I went and got my Brunton Binoculars, and her Sunset Binoculars.With them I could easily see the \"string\" hanging from the white balloon. She could see it with her's too. How could the string be visible from this distance? It would have to be a thick rope which a balloon could never lift. Then we noticed the \"string\" looked kinked. It hung in a slight zig zag pattern under the balloon. It also hung a bit to the East, like it was being blown by the wind to the East.We went outside to get a better look.The clouds and balloon began to have a orange-reddish hue on their western edges due to the sun getting low on the western horizon. The balloon appeared to rotate 90 degrees showing a side-view which made it look like a piece of white rice. Now the string was not hanging but extending West-sideways-from the West end of the \"rice\" And then another kinked string extending East from the East end of the rice. The pressure in my ear had increased. The 2 strings became 6, 3 on each end originating from the 2 points where the 2 strings had come out of. All 6 were kinked just as the hanging string had originally appeared. Then tiny-at-first white spots appeared at the outboard ends of the kinky strings. As the 6 white spots grew they started to look like 6 little puffy Cumulus Clouds. Then they grew together into 2 bigger clouds, one on the East, one on the West.My girlfriend and I were discussing this the whole time, she saw exactly what I saw.As the 2 clouds grew they engulfed the rice (or \"Tic Tac\" as I've seen recent descriptions), hiding the rice completely. It was then I notice a cloud Northwest of the \"rice cloud\", which also wasn't moving with the wind. This cloud suddenly cruised Southeast to the rice cloud and engulfed it. The now-1-cloud rapidly flew away straight North and disappeared over the horizon within 5 or 10 seconds.Summary: The original round appearance only let me see one of the hoses which had been deployed to squirt out the cloud-material. When it rotated sideways I could see there were hoses on each end which spread apart into 3 on each side. The kinked points were the hinges by which the hoses were folded inside the object. As the clouds were emitted the object appeared to deflate some looking less full...of cloud stuff. Why didn't it blow with the wind? Where did the other, much bigger cloud come from, and why didn't it blow with the wind? Once the rice was totally covered the bigger cloud went across the wind to meet up with it before exiting North. At night I see planes flying south. It takes 5 minutes for them to cover the distance the cloud did in seconds.I went inside and immediately wrote this description down. At some point our ear and head pressures had gone away." ], [ "8/27/11 14:30", "Chicago", "IL", "Sphere", "hour and half", "seen one metalic orb then seen 15-20 orbs", "10/10/11", 20110827, 2011, 8, 27, 30.0, 30.0, "http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/reports/083/S83486.html", "seen one metalic orb then seen 15-20 orbsAround two thirty in the afternoon I was sitting on my deck reading a book.

We ended up watching it and running all around the yard for 2 hrs+ It was almost as if the thing was playing with us I know that sounds weird,but it would hover wait for us to run over across the yard and then zip off stop and wait and then move... just very odd to me.There seemed to be 3 of these,sometimes they would move so fast it was hard to keep up with more than 1.The sky was extremely clear that night,the moon did not show up until just before sunrise,not sure why that is?

As we got closer the lights moved at a somewhat brisk pace to the right on the water\u2019s surface and turned off sequentially from left to right. We only saw the lights for about 4 seconds before they disappeared completely. There were no boats in the lake that either of us could see. I don\u2019t think there is a launch on that particular lake either. We had the windows closed but there was no noticeable noise. We didn\u2019t stop to turn around but instead drove onwards past other lakes but saw nothing over any of those. I told family members what I saw but no one had an explanation other than maybe a small boat someone was fishing off of. I know I didn\u2019t see a boat though. There was plenty of moonlight so I think either my girlfriend or I would have seen if there was a boat.((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

It's a six flags with a large amount of trailer and cabin campsites that you can rent to experience both camping and the theme park simultaneously.One night, we were all hanging out around the lake. It was late and everybody was at their campsites or sleeping. At some point I looked at the sky. Something breached the clouds and into view and before I could even process what it was, I heard my friend yell \"Holy S*** look in the sky, aliens are real, aliens are real!\" By now everybody else had turned up and I had been able to process what I was looking at. An enormous diamond-like shaped airship (at least the size of a football field) was hovering and gliding perfectly and in ABSOLUTE silence directly above us.It was beautiful, with extravagant detail beyond imagination. There were hundreds, if not thousands, of windows lit in almost skyscraper-like fashion. On the bottom, there were round neon-blue lights; the exact pattern not in my memory. This was not your typical flying saucer, floating lights, UFO etc.; We had a perfectly clear and vivid view of what appeared to be a passenger/residential ship large enough to hold an extraordinary amount of people/beings.After maybe 10-20 seconds of hovering, which felt like an eternity thanks to the adrenaline and excitement, the ship slowly pointed upward. There was a deep and low volume, but very audible, \"whoosh\". I felt the \"whoosh\" in my chest similarly to how you can feel the bass at a loud concert. At the moment the \"whoosh\" noise was made the ship was gone into space at literally the blink of an eye.All 8-10 of us were beyond ecstatic as we undoubtedly believed to have one of life's greatest mysteries answered.

We were on Hwy. 375 Westbound approximately 3 miles beyond Nye/Lincoln Co. border, about 20 miles from Rachel. My husband first spotted the UFO from the driver\u2019s side window and told me to look. It was glowing orange, resembling the color of rocket flame exhaust or jet engine under thrust propulsion. It appeared to be cigar shaped, but from our vantage seemed to be a disk shaped object seen from the side. It initially appeared to be about \u00bd mi. away from us and from that distance probably 25 feet thick, (top to bottom) and 250-300 feet in diameter. These are very rough guesses from night time viewing. It was a clear and bright night, the moon full. There appeared a series of 6-8 \u2018boxes\u2019 on what we believe to be the side of the craft. The boxes lit up sequentially from right to left, remaining aglow for 10-15 seconds before reversing the process and slowly extinguishing. It then reappeared some distance to the right (E) and farther away. At the end of each sequence, only the forward most orange light remained visible. We maintained visual contact until it crested the range of mountains due NE of Rachel and SW of Caliente. The next visual contact was at mile marker 73 on US Hwy. 93N, 20 miles outside of Caliente. We were E bound coming out of an area known as Delamar Flats and entering the local mountain range known as the Caliente Summit (Oak Springs Summit). We saw one flash appearing much further in the distance, due E of our location and repeated its sequence twice. At the end of the second sequence the front glowing light remained constant, visible until it became so distant in the horizon it disappeared. It maintained its single glowing orange light and looked almost like an orange star in the night sky. The time summary of the entire viewing event from start to finish was about a half hour.

We went walking towards it. Two of my friends said it was just a blimp but the others believed it was a UFO. I have a camera phone so i took a picture of it.

I craned my neck around to get a closer look as it passed overhead and to the south east behind us.

At this point I saw two blue strobe lights on its back outer edges. We were travelling at approximately 65 miles an hour and it kept up right with us. A number of cars had overtaken us by this time leaving us alone to observe this object. I had become quite nervous by this time and did not feel safe being around this object.

Since we were driving towards it as it crossed the road, it arrived a! t the treeline on the right side of the road as we were parallel to it in passing. I was in the back seat and watched it float off into the woods about 40 more yards before we were too far to see it anymore through the thick foliage of the Catskill region. Everyone in the car saw it, and we are all still extremely mystified by it to this day. It's nice to have had others see it also, but it's hard to convince people who haven't seen it for themselves. I also admit that I am particularly skeptical of orbs seen in the sky, or caught on cameras, and in photographs, even after having seen one within 10-20 yards, with my own eyes. This is in part due to there being far more potential for misidentification with something so far away, and mixed in with other bright lights like stars, and planes. But this was as clear as day, up close, with the naked eye, and with 4 witnesses. We could, and would all pass a lie detector test with flying colors if asked about what we saw on that am! azing night. And to be totally clear, there is absolutely no d! oubt beh ind what we all saw that night. No optical illusion, reflections, flashlights, or pranksters. I still have hope that there will be some resolution to this mystery, even though it has been 16 years. I regret not coming forward about that amazing experience sooner! I hope to be in touch with others who are interested, or have had up close encounters like this one. Thank you for reading!

We were driving on the interstate a bit after the sun had already set, and I was leaning my head on the backseat passenger window just gazing out into the sky. My father was driving, and my mother was in the front passenger seat. I soon noticed a tiny white light traveling in a sparatically upward pattern. I dismissed it as a plane, but soon realized that the craft was changing direction far too much to be any kind of passenger jet. I followed it silently as it changed direction instantly several times, trying to keep focused on it. I soon told my mother, and she noticed the craft too. We were both astonished by its irregular motion, and it soon dissapeared into the distance, as if it had suddenly shot away from us, instantaneously. But, seconds later, it re-appeared, the light was still at the same opacity, but it had re-appeared in a location far from where it had disappeared. We were both a little frightened by the reality of the situation, but it didn't cause us to jump to conclusions or anything else of that sort. We were still on the interstate, and we had told my father of the craft, but he was busy driving and was not able to get a look. My mother and I followed the craft as it seemed to stop dead in the sky. No longer than it had been motionless, it began to give off what seemed tiny little explosions. It looked like the craft was kind of popping bright shimmering fireworks. It looked much like very dim artillery shell-style fireworks blowing up right off of the craft itself. We watched this happen several times, 8-10 times. We could even see would seemed like the little embers from these explosions floating downward toward the ground. The craft continued to kind of spontaneously combust, and eventually began moving once again in its sparatic movement.

I watched and waited but it did not seem to go away or come closer so curiosity took over and I looked even closer at this object to see weather it were an small single engine aircraft or helicopter. I watched as this object seemed only to move slightly up down and around in a very narrow window of area, as it began to move more noticibly, it's movement seemed to become erratic with short jerky meandering motions with a strange purposefullness about it. As I watched it I noticed it had 6 lightsin a sort of delta pattern, the lights were blinking simultaneously going from nearly white-(canary diamond white)-to beautifull orangish amber- these colors continued alternating one color change cycle per second for the duration from the time that I actually percieved the blinking...which was actually from the very beginning. As I watched this object it began to descend a little bit and then it cycled it's lights down to orange then it slowly dimmed out within 2 seconds to a really dark cherry color and then to an allmost black amorphous shape with the still visible dark red color in the center near the bottom of the object. This phase remained for about 5 seconds then the lights turned back on again as it were and the fullest intensity of white light came from the 6 lights and it resumed it's cyclical blinking and then began to ascend diagonally south/southwest...while I was due east of it. The object then leveled off and began to move at a relatively slow pace-(considerably less than common commercial aircraft minus small single prop types)-I then noticed anoth! er same object way to the right/north of the other object and still west of me. The newly appeared object appeared suddenly as out of nowhere, or the timer turned on the lights...well this thing just was going at at least a 70 degree angle and had no difficulty gaining altitude and covered several thousand feet at a speed that \"seemed\" to move around 1500-2000 mph at this time I ran downstairs to show the security guard but I realized that he would not have been able to see it from his perspective and then ran inside to call a friend. I came back outside to look for the first object and noticed that it was not in my field of view anymore and the second was stationary [or it seemed]very high in the sky as if it were a bright star roughly was around the same general vicinity as where I last saw it except higher. I may be mistaken as it might have been a star which seemed to shimmer like a neutron star. I did not bother to continue to watch this star to see any changes and then heard my phone ring so I went to get it. Note:The sky was very clear that night because it had rained a day earlier. I do not wear glasses or contacts and have relatively good eyesight. The entire duration of the movement of the object never once did it or they seem to bank or turn on any deviant axis from their original longitudinal /horizontal fixing...when it or they moved it was only up down or around with a very 2 dimensional quality in the sence -(to repeat )-that they only showed \"face\" or one profile continually. The brilliance of the lights made them very cleary defined that is why I can reccolect 6 lights in their pattern on theobjects #1 and #2...as in the order first described. When the #1 first dimmed out to a blackish amorphous object there were originally 6lights on the object untill it went dark then it seemed to have one dark cherry red glow about the center before resuming blink mode. I truly regret not having a video camera or at least a large pair of binoculars, this was an incredible event to me even though some! what surrealistic...the feeling that I got from viewing this/these objects was that of something intelligently controlled with the intention of being seen...with an otherworldly feel from it which gave me chills at one point while viewing it, at the same time being totally exhuberant like I had won the lottery. I am not a pilot or have ever been...I am a sky watcher -(no optics)- I do not posess any licenses or badges etc. Just a regular guy and no less credible according to my own perspective. This is not the first time I have seen strange things of this sort both here and abroad...I suppose that if you look up often enough you will see all sorts of things. I could not really get a relative idea of the distance of the objects because of the unknowable size of them...a crude guestimate would put them at 5 miles near the vicinity of harwin street @ beltway 8 southwest houston or further.

I am an avid astronomy buff & had set my Meade Telescope for a view of Mars, as it is so close and a clear night would benefit viewing, along with the altitude. We noticed a laser shooting into the sky, apparently coming from atop one of the radar towers which we as kids used to call \"big golf balls\" as they used to look like when they were covered with the white circular enclosures. After a few minuted the laser stopped and about a half mile behind it, (facing the western sky) a fuzzy red kind of smeared oval just dropped out of the sky approx. 1000 feet high, and slowly moved to the east at a five degree angle, horizontally. And then just stopped and faded away. With my years of sky watching I am sure this was not a meteor, jet, copter or exhaust from a airplane. This moved with intelligence. All of us spotted it and found it unusual that this device would be in such a close proximity to the laser signal.

Two of the objects were at the altitude mentioned, the third was below the other two at about two thousand feet. The objects appeared to be stationary and were approximately 30 to 40 miles distant. I estimated their actual location to be about 20 miles directly south of the city of Phoenix. This area represents the very eastern edge of the Barry Goldwater Test Range. From my vantage point these lights were extemely bright compared to every other light source in that direction. After I first sighted them, I pulled off the road and watched them through my driver side window for about ten minutes. At the end of that period they quickly faded out and were replaced with two more similar objects at about the same altitude. I knew this location to be near the Goldwater test range and had observed lights there in times past. However, those lights were moving and weren't nearly as bright and bluish white in color. The lights I observed last night were incredibly bright with a bright orange, almost yellow hue. They were also pulsating irregularly. The second set of lights faded out quickly just as the first set had done. I then got back on the road and continued driving west. About ten minutes later I saw another set of lights pop on and decided to head to that location as fast as I could. It took me about 50 minutes to get to that location. En route the lights kept popping on and fading out as they had done before. When I finally approached the area a new set of lights appeared approx. 3 to 4 miles from where I stopped the car. At this point I could make out the diamond shape. Again, they were stationary. Had they been military flares on the test range, they would have been slowly descending and I would have seen smoke and small parachutes. However, that was not the case. At my close proximity I observed that they still had a bright orange color. There was no sound. I saw no other aircraft in the area except for commercial flights heading to Sky Harbor airport from the west. By about 11:00 pm, the activity ceased and I drove back home. If this was a military exercise using flares, they are the most unusual flares I've ever seen. I would appreciate knowing if anyone else in the area observed them and if indded there was an exercise taking place on the test range.((NUFORC Note: Date indicated by witness may be flawed.

I had been looking at the sky for several minutes when I thought I saw something flash directly above me in the sky. This was out of my peripheral vision, so I focused on the area above me where I had seen the flash. I did a mental count to 29 (as in the first sighting), and on the count of 29 was looking directly at the flash as it winked on and winked off. The flash was white in color, just to the \"top\" of the northern cross (i.e., if the cross were right-side up, the flash was located above the top of the cross), and the brightness was equal to that of nearby Vega, if not brighter.At this point, I dashed inside, grabbed the video camera, and called to my wife, \"It's back.\" I went back outside, grabbed a lawn chair and sat down, and looked up again in the sky. As my wife came out, we saw it flash once more, very bright. I started up my video camera and aimed it at the location in the sky and waited in vain. It did not reappear. My wife saw the second flash. From its location against the stars, it appeared to be traveling in a generally east to west direction.At approximately 20:22, we saw another white flash, this time in a different location, further north in the night sky; just behind the back of Cassiopeia's chair. We focused on that area and began our mental count to 29. But only a few seconds after this new flash, we saw a second flash, which was also behind Cassiopeia's chair, but a few degrees west of the first flash. That was all.

I\u2019m not sure why I have waited this long to file this report, but once an ardent skeptic of most UFO tales, everything changed on a late summer night in the Atlantic Ocean. So although late in arriving, here is my story: On August 27, 2002, while cruising aboard the ship Carnival Pride, I woke up from a deep sleep, only to find myself oddly sitting on the edge of the bed, facing our cabin\u2019s patio door. The drapes were drawn. I do not know what alerted me to arise from my sleep, nor can I explain what prompted me to go out onto the cabins private balcony that early morning. It was approximately 2:30 am. As I stepped out onto the balcony, I moved forward to the balcony railing. Our ship was roughly 200 miles out from land, with the first destination stop, being Half Moon Cay, Carnival\u2019s private island. Our cabin was positioned on the port side of the ship, facing west, traveling in a southerly direction. At first glance I was drawn to the front of ship, as the moon was out and nearly visible through a small bank of clouds. The illumination of the moon cascaded over the dark blue pristine waters below. Then I proceeded to glance upwards, staring straight port side. To my amazement I spotted a very large cluster of multicolored lights. One light appeared to be very bright and white at its center, while a series of smaller individual lights of blue, green and red surrounded it. I can\u2019t be sure, but it appeared very much as if its shape were triangular. My best guess is that it was approximately 70 degrees off horizon and its scale, although difficult to determine would have covered a bald fist at arms length. By this determination, I gather that this object was very large and probably close. It did not move or make a sound. It merely hovered. A very slight misty cloud obscured about 25% of the visible object. It took a few minutes for my brain to register what it was seeing. I watched it for about 10 seconds. I was stunned! It definitely was not a plane. It was also unlikely a helicopter, especially given the distance from any land mass. I must admit, despite the initial state of shock, I was quite proud of myself, in that I immediately recognized the rare nature of this observance and quickly took action. It registered with me, that only a photo or a video of this object, would exonerate me of any embellishment, should I choose to share this unbelievable sight with another. So the following actions occurred within the frame work of 7-9 seconds: I quickly remembered I had left our camera bag, just inside the patio door, on the floor, out of the way of the normal traffic aisle. The small quarters of our cabin made this a logical storage place. Coincidentally, it would also offer me the shortest distance in retrieving the cameras and film this object. As I turned to open the door, I placed one foot inside our cabin, keeping my other foot outside, thereby propping the door open. I reached in for our video camera and as I backpedaled to the open balcony railing again, I opened the lens case, activated the camera, all at the same time. This is why I reference the time frame of 7-9 seconds. Why is this important? It will become perfectly clear with my next testimonial. As I swung the camera upwards and toward the direction of the object, to my utter dismay, it was gone. It had simply vanished. I couldn\u2019t believe it. Only a few seconds had passed. I was however, not deterred. I noticed off in the distance, a very small but bright light. At first I thought it might be a planet, such as Mars, which as I recall, was highly visible in the Western sky at that time of the year. I still decided to zoom in and film it, in the event it might have been what I watched in total astonishment a few seconds earlier, and twenty-times larger! I took nearly two minutes of video. I used the railing cap to steady my camera. While I realize, that a digital camera, zoomed to a near infinite range, can cause square pixilation\u2019s and that some subjects, illuminating brightly as a source, can create false images, such as a rainbow effect with twinkles of various colored lights; what I saw, was something far different. It seemed to have a single image of light, countered by the surprise emergence of a second (different) colored light from behind. Then a third colored light. I don\u2019t think Mars would react that way. At that point, I felt I had recorded a sufficient amount of tape to make a convincing case for something obviously unidentified as nothing short of an unexplained, unidentified flying object (UFO). It was now time to wake up my wife. While keeping our two children sleeping, I would soon add a second set of eyes, in a sanity check, to see if I was imagining the whole thing. I went inside our cabin and awoke her. Despite her groggy state, like a good trooper, she trudged out on the balcony with me, to add an equal witness to this sighting. While she manned (woman) a set of binoculars, I continued to film the subject. Once again and much more clearly, a red object immerged from behind the larger brighter object, as if hovering or orbiting around it. The mystery only became more bizarre, as within minutes of the sighting, a group of three ships floating on the water, off in the distance, suddenly appeared. I know for certain that they were not there before. After discovering them, my film shows at least one of them floating on the surface. To conclude, I can only surmise the following: Did (what ever it was) possess some artificial intelligence that flagged it of my observing presence on deck? If so, did it react by speeding away at an incredible rate (as I\u2019ve heard of, in other cases) to avoid a video camera image that clearly would have rivaled the one I eventually captured? To film it at maybe 1-2 miles away vs. perhaps 20 miles? I\u2019ll never know. And what significance did the surprise appearance of three smaller vessels on the ocean have to do with this experience. I have enclosed snapshot pictures or frames of the video I shot. I have kept the video to myself. As of this writing, after 4 \u00bd years, only 6-7 other people know of our UFO encounter.((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate.

Today (8/27/01) when I stepped out my door I first looked at the eastern horizon and noticed the planet Venus. Then I turned towards the North and noticed a very bright light high in the NW. Odd because I knew there were no planets in that direction, and no stars that bright (about 2-3 times the brightness of Venus). My first thought was should I go back in & get my binoculars, or just proceed towards work? I went back in and got them. They are Orion 9x63. With them I expected to see only a point of light, as that is all I could see with my eyes (an apparently very bright, motionless star). But I was suprised to see a disc. The object had a visible diameter which immediately told me this was not a star (nova or otherwise). I became immediately interested. The color was pure white and very bright. No details were visible within the bright image and for awhile no details surrounding it. I kept watching debating whether or not to call my brother (hoping to get a triangulation) and not wishing to take my eyes off it when there was a sudden change. I noticed the emergence of a \"puff of gray smoke\" off towards the northerly direction. Inside this thin vaporus and expanding cloud were a number (6-12) of swimming points of light moving somewhat erratically in the same direction (generally northerly). I then moved closer to the house and supported my arms on a step ladder to steady my view and the same event happened again, thoug the \"puff\" moved generally south and again about the same number of points of light moved off in that direction. They did not seem to move off with any great rapidity. The small points of light seemed to have variable brightness to them (some were brighter than others). They did not seem to move with any purpose, but somehwat sluggishly and randomly and even seemed to slow somewhat the further they got from the bright disc, which never changed position or brightness the entire time. Now I! really wanted to call my brother and get a triangulation, but just as I was about to do so the entire event ended with the abrupt fading of the entire scene. Not fading, cutoff. It just disappeared. The morning was calm, and partly cloudy. The event was seen thru thin clouds perhaps at 10,000'. The object was above these clouds the entire time and did not move while the clouds slowly moved in a generally ESE to WSW direction. Knowing the two locations I stood at to view this event I later used a compass and plumb bob to find the horizon coordinates, which I estimate to be the following: Elevation: 72 deg Azimuth: 300 deg (NW) During Civil Twilight I have observed balloon flights from my house quite often. This was not a balloon, at least not a hot air balloon. Hot air balloon are easily identified and are usually accompanied by noise when the fuel is burned for lift. Even at high altitued one can detect the flare event from from the burn. If it was a weather balloon (or some reasearch balloon from the University of Alaska) then I would also expect it to have changed position somewhat during the 10 minutes I observed it. I noticed absoultely no change in position. There was also absolutely no noise during the entire event. If it was a balloon venting at high altitude (accidental surface rupture, or deliberate puncture) then I do not understand why the bright central disc did not seem to change position or brightness during the \"release event\". I also do not understand why the entire event just shut off so suddenly.

I was having dinner with two friends in Brookline Massachusetts and in the midst of dinner we were discussing vacations and places we had gone to for vacations as children. I told them how my family would travel from Vermont to Owl's Head, Maine, for several weeks in the summer. I mentioned that a cousin of mine had a restaurant in Southwest Harbor and how my parents would take us there for occasionally while we were staying in Owl's Head. Anyway, the mention of Southwest harbor seemed to change the tone of both of my hosts. They exchanged anxious looks and became quiet. I noticed they continue to look at each other but not say much, and one of them, asked the other if he wanted to tell me. They agreed they did, and here is what they told me: In late August of 1982 my friends rented a small house on Goose Cove in Southwest Harbor, Maine. I should say first that both of these men are serious and sober not given to storytelling or having a fascination with the occult or paranormal.They described the place being on the north-northeast side of Goose Cove and described a daytime view out to the ocean straight ahead of their house. They could, at night, see lights in houses on the east side of the cover and the west side but said it was very woody and not densely settled. They had a rental for a couple weeks. Towards the end of their stay on what was a Thursday night, they had gone to bed early. The house was a story and a half with two small bedrooms on the second floor. A stairway separated the two bedrooms and at the bottom of the stairs was the front door leading to the porch which faced Goose Harbor. At one point they both woke up hearing a humming sound and bright lights coming up the center stair from the windows in the front door. The light moved up and down and side to side a bit and the humming sound had some variation in pitch. They described the light looking like it might be coming from a helicopter search light but without the sound of helicopter engines. The time was shortly after 1:00 am making it now early Friday morning. After more than ten minutes they got up the nerve to go downstairs to see what they could see. About 400 feet in front of the house there was a large metal object, a low cylinder, in a proportion like a tuna fish can but dark gray with yellow-white lights on it. It was flying about 45 feet above the surface of the water. The lights were redirected to the surface of the water and the volume and pitch of the hum dropped. Next they could hear and see a column of water beneath the object. Both were unsure whether water was being sucked up from ! the ocean or being dumped into it. This continued for over half an hour. A bit after 1:45 am they heard a higher pitch, and within a few minutes the cove became brighter like early dawn. Soon they could see lights coming from above and saw a second object like the first. It came down level with the first one and hovered southwest of the first object with a distance of about 50 feet. Its lights redirected to the water surface and the pitch and volume of sound lowered and then it too began to drop or suck up water in a cylinder form. They watched this from their window on the first floor of the house for about 35 or 40 minutes. Then the fist object moved about 1000 feet into the cove away from the house. Soon the second object aligned itself above the first and together they began to rise up at the same speed and then hovered together about 400 to 500 fet above the water. Then the hum returned to a high pitch and they lifted upward very fast and disappeared. They checked to see if there were lights on in any of the other houses and saw none. They went upstairs and packed. At about 5:00 am there was decent light to carry luggage to the truck and they packed up and headed home to Massachusetts. They did not call or visit the police station. They drove to Cape Cod where they spent the rest of the weekend with the parents of one of the men. These parents had seen a UFO together in the late 1950s on Cape Cod. The following morning deer looked into the kitchen windows at them." ], [ "8/27/80 19:00", "Delran", "NJ", "Circle", "10 minutes", "I was out back on this chilly night i was looking into the sky and i see this object not far away from me moving side to sideand stop t", "12/6/18", 19800827, 1980, 8, 27, 10.0, 10.0, "http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/reports/143/S143963.html", "I was out back on this chilly night i was looking into the sky and i see this object not far away from me moving side to sideand stop than the craft would move up and stop ...than move down and stop I thought it would be a helicopter but there was no noise did continue these maneuvers for another five minutes then all of a sudden the craft shot into the heavens thousands of miles an hour gone I got scared and ran into the house what eyewitness was Unreal" ], [ "8/27/78 03:00", "St. Petersburg", "FL", "Light", "20 minutes", "Nightmare of UFO attack preceds actual UFO sightings by 24 hours, coincidence?", "7/5/05", 19780827, 1978, 8, 27, 20.0, 20.0, "http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/reports/044/S44664.html", "Nightmare of UFO attack preceds actual UFO sightings by 24 hours, coincidence?I recently obtained my first computer and have spent the last couple of months learning how to use it. I have also recently discoverd coasttocoast on am radio and have been listing to it nearly every night. Some of the stories we hear on it have brought back a flood of memories to my wife and I. I have two stories which occurred about 24 hours apart. I don't know if they are somehow related or just coincidence. I think it's important to relay that I am a G.I. Brat who was raised on Air Force Bases throughout the US as well as Germany and England. Shortly after high school I joined the Air Force where I was trained as an Air Traffic Controller. After leaving the service, my girl friend (now my wife of 26 years) and I took a trip from Ohio to Florida. While in route to Florida we stopped to spend the night in my van. During the wee morning hours of Aug 26, 1978, I recall having the scariest most vivid nightmare of my entire life. I woke up screaming at the top of my lungs, scaring my girlfriend of two weeks to death. For years I could recall in vivid detail the majority of the nightmare. But now, two and a half decades later, I can only remember bits and pieces. I can recall running and hiding in the ruins of city buildings, dodging ray like beams which were fired from numerous disc shaped craft hovering over the city. I don't remember seeing any movies prior to this dream that might have led to it, but since the dream, I've seen many war of the world type movies that always bring back little flashes of my nightmare. My wife says I screamed for a long time after my dream, and even after I stopped, it took me quite a while to completely wake up and overcome the dream induced fear that took quite a few minutes to shake. I remained shaken all the next day as we drove the rest of the way to Florida. The first thing we wanted to do was see the beach. So, at about 3 AM on Aug 27, 1978, we were laying on our backs in the sand on St. Pete Beach. It was a beautiful totally clear night and we noted that the stars never looked so bright in Ohio. A bright star caught my attention as it seemed to get brighter and bigger over a couple of minutes period. We were trying to decide rather it was actually an airplane or if our eyes were just tricking us for starring so long. It seemed to be at least five times larger than any other star in the sky, then it started. It seemed like a normal size star had emerged from the larger one, then another. At this point they had our undivided attention. The smaller ones darted back and forth in erratic fashion for several minutes then darted off faster than any aircraft that I have ever seen before or since. We talked about what we had just seen when several more darted out of what we were now calling the mother ship, and in like fashion darted around occasional disappearing as though they had gone back inside, zipping off into the distance etc. As best we can remember there were between 6 to 8 lights that we watched come and go in no particular combinations. Sometimes only one at a time sometimes groups of mixed numbers. We watched in amazement for twenty minutes or more. We can't recall rather or not any or all of the little lights had retuned to the big one, because what happend next kind of made what we had been watching insignificant. The largest light hovering over Tampa Bay was obviously getting bigger and bigger and seemed to be comming in our direction. What once looked like the largest star in the sky soon became the size of a dime at arms length, then a quarter. As it grew larger it turned to a bright reddish orange. By this time we were on our feet and my girlfriend was tugging on my arm trying to get me to leave. It was at about this point that the quarter size light which seemed to be miles out to sea accelerated so quickly that in a matter of a couple of seconds it was directly overhead and appeared larger than the sun in the sky. The beach lit up as though it was high noon as it soared over us. At this point I had no choice but to run as my girlfriend was already heading for the van. We did'nt have far to run, but by the time we got in the van, the light had disappeared inland over St Pete. We argued over rather or not to leave for less than a minute, then we could see the reddish orange ball returning in our direction very rapidly. As one of us was now screaming bloody murder and jumping up and down, I thru it into drive and sped away. There is absoluteley no doubt in our minds that we saw an extremeley large space craft which sent out a half dozen or so scout ships to explore the area over Tampa Bay and the city of St Pete Fl. What we are unsure of is rather or not the nightmare the night before and the actual sightings are somehow connected." ], [ "8/27/69 21:00", "Enfield", "ME", "Oval", "10-15min", "The object would stop and move and then blink off and be somewhere else in the sky.

And started moving again but at a slow pace!Hi, Saw the Peter Jennings report tonight and thought it was time to finally report this.The year was 1969 late August. We were leaving to come back to Pennsylvania the next and my mother's whole family was there that night. As everybody was talking and saying goodby I started watching the western sky and saw what I thought was a plane moving north along the western horizon. At first I didn't think much about and watch it move slowly along. I had moved away from where my family was at the time and kept watching this so called plane. The it did something very strange. It stop dead, right in the middle of the sky. Then it started to move high but straight toward our house. It was very high in the sky. Like the hight of a jet. Then it just stop again and started moving in another direction. It kept stoping and moving and I knew that it wasn't a plane or a satelite. Then it just blink out of site. For a moment I look around the sky and there it was again. To describe how far it had moved in less then 10-15 seconds would be like looking at the hands of a clock and watch the big hand move from 9:00 t0 3:00 in a blink of an eye. It did this several times and when I went to tell my family it was gone. I had to have watching this object at least 10 mins or more.Some time in the seventies I heard or read in the paper someone describe seeing an object in the sky moving just like I saw. I kept it to my self except for some close friends over the years but to no one else.((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that date of sighting is approximate.
