Appearance / Description of Object(s)

It was shaped like a rectangle, but with the top edges more rounded. It seemed to be of a dark material except where the sunshine reflected off it. It had five tall rectangular windows. The edges of this object appeared to be "fuzzy" not clear, perhaps because of the sunlight reflecting off it.

Size of Object(s)

Based upon the size of the person inside, I would guess the object to be around 50 to 60 feet in diameter. As to height, I would guess it to be about 10 feet. Again, assuming the person inside was 6 feet tall.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Our home was located in Westerville, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus. There was a small creek behind out house as well as a sizeable retaining pond. To the south, several miles away, lies Port Columbus International Airport. A relatively short distance to the east is the large Hoover Resevoir.

Full Description & Details

The bright object that we saw was not an aircraft, Goodyear blimp, helicopter, Canada geese, space satellite, or the planet Venus. We looked at the object off and on for a period of about 40 minutes. The object was still there in about the same location the next afternoon. The object made no noise that we could detect. It reflected sunlight in the late afternoon or early evening. As far as we could tell, it remained stationary. There was some dark material that surrounded this object, but not any lare metallic mass that would constitute the body of some aircraft.

There was a "man" standing in the object. My wife and I could see him clearly through the 5 rectangular windows. He was wearing a white or, light-colored one-piece suit from the neck on down. It covered "his" two arms to his wrists. He didn't wear any eyeglasses, hat, or gloves. He wasn't heavy set, but rather slender. He wasn't wearing, as far as we could tell, any helmut. At one time, he moved a short distance (1 or 2 steps?) toward the left side of the object. It seemed to me that "he" walking communicating with someone on the left side, but we could not see who or what it was because the windows didn't reach that far. "He" put his left arm up on an object that looked like some type of cabinet. It was the only piece of equipment or, furniture that could be seen. There was a soft yellow light that was coming from inside the object. I don't remember seeing any facial features or hair on this person.

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

At first I thought that perhaps it could have been one large satellite, but when I looked through my field glasses, I knew that it was not. It also wasn't birds, an airplane, helicopter, a blimp, weather balloon, or swamp gas.

Witness Background

Both my wife and I are retired educators; we now have a small business.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

When I first saw this object, I had no idea what it was. Then, it dawned on me that perhaps it was one of those UFOs that I had read about in the past. I am still not sure what it was that I saw.

The following is the report that the witness submitted to the National UFO Reporting Center (reported to NUFORC on April, 23, 2005): "Duration: 40 minutes. My wife and I were sitting on our screened-in porch at our home in Westerville, Ohio, which faces east. At around 6:00 pm on an October evening, we saw a large bright stationary object in the southeast sky. I tended to ignore it for awhile. I thought that perhaps it was a communications satellite. I went into the house and got by 7 x 50 field glasses to help identify the object. It was no helicopter, commerical or military aircraft, and certainly not one of those blimps that occasionally make its way down to the Ohio State University to cover a football game. As far as I could tell, it didn't move. There was no noise coming from it. The object was perhaps 50 to 60 feet in diameter. The setting sun was reflecting off the object and made it somewhat difficult to see. As far as I could tell, there were no external lights. There were 5 large rectangular windows that took up much of the space of this object. There was a yellow glow in the interior. I saw a person dressed in a light-colored single piece suit from the neck down. The person had a head, 2 arms, and a body. He appeared to move only once and only slightly. It stood next to what appeared to be a "file cabinet", which stood as tall as his shoulder. There was some mass around these windows but nothing that would constitute the body of some aircraft. The next evening, my wife and I saw the same object. I called a local television station to report what I had seen and if anybody had any idea what it was. The lady gave me some answer and that was the last that I heard of this object. As far as I know, nothing was reported on any television news broadcast or, printed in the Columbus Dispatch. Surely, others in the area must have seen this object. I know what I saw, but I have no idea what I saw."

Name: 

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

The object seemed rectangular shaped ([[[[[[[[]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]). It had a brilliant or bright white light emitting from it.

Size of Object(s)

Relatively, my hand would have to be sideways outstretched to cover the object. Actual size 150 to 200 feet long by 20 or maybe 30 feet tall. It was so bright and low that the height could probably vary.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

Distance away 600 yards. Just above treeline. 200 or 300feet in the air off ground.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Traverse City West is a rolling rural area of subs and farms. The object was directly over the golf course. The Grand Traverse Area is a Beautiful place to live with it's peninnsula's and bays. Google Image it.

Full Description & Details

After a Traverse City West High School football game which I believe was in 2001 I stopped to get gas at Meijer(local gas station). I then headed west home. At a stop sign at the top of Barnes Road I could see a bank of bright lights overtop some pines. I immediately thought it was an airplane coming into Cherry Capital Airport. I turned right and then left onto Harris? and then right onto Cedar run. After about 2 miles I came to the hill that goes down to the golf course. Coming down the hill I could see this enormous craft with brilliant lighting hanging in the air above the golf course. I knew it was not an airplane because it was not moving, and it was to big to be a helicopter. As I came right up and parallel to the golf course I slowed down and rolled down my window. I could not hear a sound. At this point I began to shake. I was very afraid and continued on. My son was in the back of the van and I was fearing for our safety. The object was probably overtop the trees less than 200 feet. It was probably only about 600 yards away and for sure within 1/4 mile. I continued west over a hill and on the left there are 2 houses. I cannot remember which house, but at one there were 2 people standing outside looking in the direction of this aircraft. Farther up the road an airplane was approachingfrom the west heading east towards Traverse City unremarkably. I have stopped at one house and one person did not see anything. There are many houses in the area and I plan on stopping atleast to the two houses where people were standing.

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

The only object it could of been other than extraterrestrial, would be some kind of new stealth craft that our government has developed. No sound! How convenient.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I did not no much about ufo's until after this episode. I knew people have always seen things but most could be explained. I have always been somewhat of a skeptical person. I need facts. I read one book about the bermuda triangle when I was young.

Description of Area / Surroundings

urban area - close to the presidential palace. No major military objects. One Power plant some 2 km away to the south . This "thing"did go thet direction

Full Description & Details

I was playing soccer with my 9 year old kid on our terrace in Zagreb. Suddenly my son stopped playing, looked into the sky and asked "daddy, what's that". Later he told me that he looked up because he heard strange buzz. I didnt hear anything.

This object was exactly above our heads and approching vertically, almost like falling.

I cannot exactly say how close it was, because I have no idea about the size of this thing, but If I have to guess it would be 300-500 meters.

After initial shock, maybe 10 or 15 seconds I ran into the room to grab the camera. It took maybe 15-30 seconds to find it and turn it on. By the time I got back on the terrace, object changed the direction and it was at least 2 km away. It was allready difficult to find it through the camera screen. My camera has only 6xzoom, and I cannot remember if I used it or not.

Few seconds later ther was no sense taking more photos...this was just small black dot in the sky going south very fast.

I sent a phot to my pilot friend in Geneve in Switzerland, and he told me to report this to ufoevidence.

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

I really don't know what to say.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Imagine a boomerang or still better, imagine two boomerangs which glow in the darkness and fly just like one body , with the peak in flying direction . It was not so bright as, for instance the planet Venus, but it was bright enough to be realiced by night . The colour, as far as I can remember would be a kind of very light blue, but I am not really sure about that.

Size of Object(s)

Relative size: 20 cm Actual size: Not possible to calculate. That was an unknown object,If it was the size of a normal aircraft, than, that thing was flying quite low, if it was huge, than it was flying higher...

Description of Area / Surroundings

It was a rural area, with trees on both side of the road. At that time were surelly not so many people around.

Full Description & Details

My girlfriend, a frechman we met that night at the beach and myself were on the beach, by night, looking at the sea, talking as much as we could (the frechman spoke very broken english and, my girlfriend no english at all and I can not speak french) until 2 am. At that hour of the night, we decided to go back to our camping place, just 200 Meters away from that beach. On the way back, I realized while looking at the sky that it was really a beautiful ,clear and quiet night andasked the two other members of the group in spanish : "hey, have you noticed what for a gorgeus night we have today"? (Please notice that the frechman could not have understand what I said, but he looked as well at the sky!!!).

I was still finishing the sentence when I saw , coming from the right side, at an angle of aprox. 80 degrees a triangular object which seemed to say "now pay atention and look at me", . First of all, I had to think about the very first scene of Star Wars, where a triangular ship chases an small one. I had the feeling I was looking at one of those ships! The thing flew just over our heads(,without a sound at all!!!) so that I coud see that it was just like two boomerangs fliying one behind each other, with the peak fordwards, so that I thouhgt they were two sea birds, flying by night, but that could not have been, because I could not look thru the space between the first and the second " sea bird", that means that it was just one solid body which was blocking my wiew. After just compleating a bow over our heads ( it didn´t take more than 10 seconds) that thing dissapeared over our left side, but with a kind of "deaf lighting", a shining which surprised us still more than we were already surprised. After a few seconds, my girlfriend was the first one who beat the schock and said with a brite smile "have you seen that??" . I could still not talk and all that the frenchman could say was "Oh la la, UFO, UFO! ".

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

I have though a lot about that sighting. I know that I saw that night can not be explain with some man-made objects or with any natural explanations. All the flying objects make any kind of sound, do not look like the thing I saw and do not say good bye with a lighting. The natural explanations (birds, clouds etc ) are still more incredible.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I did not believe on Ufos at that time. When I was a child, then yes. It was my wish to see an Ufo before I dye, but when I grew up, I decided to be more rational and scientific. After that experience, I have read a lot about Ufos. I do not believe at everything (obductions, they are among us), but it is quite clear that Ufos do exist and they are here. I do not even know if they come from another planet, but the definetly exist and are not secret weapons from our planet.

Other Comments

Since then, I have not given up the hope that I will see them again, but I do think the sighting was kind of planed.

it was semi-city, we were driving home from the hospital.

Full Description & Details

in march 1995 , i was 13, i hurt my foot late at night and me and my mum went to hospital. when we came back it was early morning, but still very dark. it was one of those ford cortina cars you could sleep in the back and look through the back door glass. i was laying down in the back looking up, when there just appeared these lights. light blue lights, a big ring of circles on the outer rim and then a smaller ring of circles in the middle. i think it must've been a very big thing, it was quite a bit from the ground, but maybe almost 500meter across, i don't know, it was huge. it was there for about a few minutes, maybe less, and then it was just gone. it was only after it was gone i asked my mother if she saw anything and she said no, but i guess she was watching the road. i was really very calm throughout the whole thing, which is weird, considering. i just looked up and thought, wow, look at that.

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

no way, unless there is some super-duper fighter plane out there, i have considered it, but then that plane has to be the best thing man has ever made. the thing made no noise whatsoever.

before then i was slightly sceptical, but i always kept an open mind. i always liked sci-fi stories and movies. i must say though, whenever someone says they have seen a ufo, i don't believe them because the people who usually see them are weird. but i really, really did see this thing.

a few weeks ago me and my boyfriend were standing outside by his car, at night. we looked up and saw this very shiny star. i was just in the process of saying 'look how bright that star is' when it suddenly got smaller and eventually disappeared. me and my boyfriend just looked at each other. afterwards he said it was a satelite. it seems i'm prone to seeing stuff like this. the other day i saw a meteorite fall in the middle of the day, it was the weirdest thing.

discs were white looking. The discs were not bright, but rather dull white appearance. They definitely were not lights. As a former pilot, I have a good idea what lights look like in the sky inifferent weather conditions. The outstanding observation of the white discs was that they all had some size, and were perfectly placed between each other and in front of each other, making a perfect triangle (in inverted Christmas tree). They did not pulse. They had a constant while glow evenly distrubuted through out the surface .

Size of Object(s)

The size of the discs probably were at least 100 feet or more

Description of Area / Surroundings

Northbroo, Il., I was on the driveway fron of my house. O'Hare Airport is near by. At times planes fly over in the vicinity ......always on takeoff.......there was no jet sound, etc.....White objects appeared to be stationary....they were observed for approx. 35 seconds before vanishing.

Full Description & Details

On Saturday, May 27, 2006, at exactly 9:12 PM, I walked out of the house in Northbrook, Il., to take my dog for his evening walk. It was a gray overcast evening with temp. in the 70Fs, with possible some rain later in the evening. As I walked out of the house, I looked up in the sky to check the weather and if I should be for short walk in case of rain.

As I looked up in the sky, there was no visibility of any stars, the sky was dark gray , no stars were visible.

Aa I looked up in the sky, I noteced three large disc appearing ....located northwest.

The discs were white translucent in perfect allignment from each other. I watched the three white disc for about 8 seconds, when another two discs, same size, appeared just in front of the first three discs.....they were spaced away the same distance as the distance between each disc in the first row.........the appearance lasted another approx. 8 seconds, when one more white disc appeared in front of the two. That made a total of six disc arranged in a perfec trianagle. The distances between the disc sideways and from each other forward were exactly the same distance. The discs stayed visible for apprx. another 8 sconds and then vanished. In about 8 seconds the two discs appeared again and stayed visible for another approx. 8 seconds and then vanished. I stayed outside for another 15 to 20 minutes, watching the sky, but no further appearance was observed.

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

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

1st object - Wedge-shaped, with a nose-cone and a sort of aerodynamic shape, although unfamiliar. Dark coloured, slightly lighter than night sky. No lights visible. 2nd object - Equilateral triangle shape composed of three connected bars of colour, upright, red on the top point and sides, dullish white/silver on the left sides, and green/blue type colour on the right ends. Colours remained constant, and while bright were not spectalularly bright, certainly less so than the Moon. Colours did not change, move, flicker, brighten or darken.

Size of Object(s)

Object 1(dark craft) - relative size - about 3 cm across - actual size - difficult to say but maybe 8 (length) x 4 metres (height) based on relativity to tree height Object 2 (triangle) - relative size - about 4 cm across - actual size - probably around 10 metres across (and base to peak as it's equilateral) hard to tell as it was flying higher than the frames of reference

Description of Area / Surroundings

Rural area, primarily farmland with crops and cattle. Dublin airport is approximately 20-25 kilometres away, nearest military airport about 35 kilometres (Baldonnel).

Full Description & Details

As I was being driven home with my family at approximately 23:30 after a show in the school where my mother worked as vice-principal, I took to my usual habit of staring blankly out the window. In this part of Dublin it is very rural and it was dark at that time with none of the orange streetlight pollution I'm used to. Approximately 15 to 20 minutes into the journey while driving along the backroads I noticed what looked like a large wedge-shaped object flying what looked like very low, and maintaining pace with the car (maybe a kilometre or two away). I dismissed this at the time as a plane, although it was black and had no lights, and could only barely be made out against the sky (although I should point out that this lower part of the sky was a bit brighter). However that was not the main incident. A few minutes after I had been observing this craft, I noticed a triangle shape which appeared in the sky, stationary. It was much higher up than the other craft. My late dad and brother noticed this as well. It was an equilateral triangle outline, with the three colours at each end, red on top, white/silver on the left, and a sort of blue-green colour on the right end. These colours were in the form of solid bars which linked up to form a triangle of colour; it is possible that the three were the lights of a black craft but I could not discern this (though the skies were clear at the time). The colours did not flicker, change shape, or become brighter or dimmer, they just remained constant as a triangle shape. This shape held the same position in the sky for approximately 5 seconds, though it's difficult to tell exactly, it could have been 3 to 10 seconds. When this occured I sat there silently and after it happened noticed the other craft was still flying low to the ground. My dad exclaimed when he saw it, and got my mam to pull the car over at the next chance, but it was gone. My dad then noticed the second object (the first I had noticed, the wedge-shaped one) when we were driving home, saying that there was "another one", and I continued to monitor it until it passed behind some trees in the distance and couldn't be seen any longer, and then it was no longer there. I dismissed the first sighting as a plane as it appeared somewhat plane shaped although there was no sound from it or lighting and it was approximately 1000-1500 metres away - the weird thing was it seemed to be keeping exact pace with the car (and it was quite a remote place with not many other cars around). The second sighting, the triangle shape, I considered as unknown, possibly the lights of some flying vehicle. I discovered later that my brother had seen the triangle aswell. I could not guess how far away the triangle was as I had no reference to other nearby objects such as trees as I did with the low-flying craft. However, the triangle shape itself was about half-way up the sky, probably in an east direction from the car (as Irish passenger seats are on the left, and the journey was north-south). Its three points when compared to the moon would not touch the ring of the moon but would come quite close, as a comparison of its size (though the moon was not visible in that direction).

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

No I do not believe so, I considered the possibility of strobe lights but a clear path of light would have been visible, and besides they would not shine for 5 seconds in a linear shape and then disappear. It is possible the other sighting was some form of unknown military craft but what it would be doing over Irish aerospace.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I was always obsessed with the paranormal and made it a mission of mine to scour the skies for UFOs every time I went in a car anywhere after dark. This sighting made me more interested, but as I grew older I grew more sceptical of the possibilities of the existence of alien craft on this planet. However having read reports of similar sightings as to what I had seen, and having read the disclosure project report, my interest was re-kindled.

We were at an amusement park when I saw this, although I don't know what is located around the park, as it is in the middle of an interstate highway.

Full Description & Details

In kings dominion on the ride called the anaconda, on the second to last ride of the day, me, my cousin, my cousins friend, my cousins other cousin, and another friend were on the roller coaster at the time. Me and the other friend were sitting in the second two chairs on the train, while going up the ride I noticed some sort of light in the sky, not very bright at all but I thought it was one of those lights that theaters have that project into the clouds or whatever but I noticed it wasnt coming from anywhere or moving in that sort of way, so I looked closer and thought it was some sort of huge plane because from the distance it was, it looked very big.

I looked for wings or any sort of sign that it was a plane or anything else but I did not notice any, only that it was a greyish color and circular, oval shaped and looked as though i was looking at it from the bottom I would think.

I was very clear of what I saw on the ride since the ride up the anaconda takes a long time, the entire time I was staring at it not sure of what it was, I finnally told my friend next to me when i decided that it was not a plane that there was something in the sky, well rather I said "What the hell is that ufo shit" and he looked down the roller coaster instead of to the sky and it was too late before the roller coaster started to go down.

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

I was very sure of what I saw, stars and planets do not move, birds would be too small, clouds do not have lights, airplanes are not that big and have wings or something more than an oval shape, was too big to be a blimp and was not the shape of a blimp, and much too big to be a weather balooon
