Disc / Saucer Shape
Close-range sighting of small disc-shaped object w/ dome on top
1993 - Melbourne, Australia
"It was only a meter or so in length. It was also shaped like the quintessential image of a UFO, a round flat disc with a small dome on the top. So ludicrously like something you'd see in a looney tune cartoon i felt like an idiot telling my friends what I had seen, and indeed none believed me." View full report

Grangemouth Electric UFO Photo
November, 12, 1991 - Grangemouth , United Kingdom
From the witness: "We watched it hover for around five minutes. It was then that we noticed that the 'craft' wasn't making any noise. Normally, if it was a helicopter, we would have heard the blades. It then turned around and faced our direction. At the point of the photograph, it was about 200 to 300 feet directly above us. It was then that we heard the light 'pulsing hum' of the object."
