Full Description & Details

I was going for a walk at Fairfield Village in Ocala, Florida at approximately 9:00 P.M. I was looking at the stars (in particular, Orien) when there was a abrupt rushing sound as I saw what looked like a v-shaped wing pass about 50 feet above a tree, descending, and banking on about a 60 degree angle. I ran towards the tree to get a better view of the wing as it receeded into the dark. After the rushing sound, the wing made no sound. There were also no lights showing on the vehicle. All I could see was the general v-shape as it rocked or pitched its wingtips, banking from side to side. At first I thought it was perhaps a flock of Canadian geese, but there was no flapping sound or honking, and besides, the shape moved as a solid piece. I could barely see the shape of a row of circular lights on the rear end of the wing - but they were not lit. Mostly, I didn't believe what I was seeing and ended up asking myself why someone would be hang-gliding at 9 o'clock at night. All this time the wing made no sound as it moved less than 50 feet above the treeline. I gave up on trying to figure out what I saw and decided to continue with my walk.

At this point the wing must have backtracked because it was suddenly about 40 feet from where I was standing. It looked as if it was going to hit the trunk of a tree that was nearby, but then it poised only a few feet above the ground with it nose pointed to the tree. At this point the nose of the wing turned 90 degrees while rotating the axis of its wing so that the entire craft was on its side, perpendicular to the ground about 6 feet above the ground. The wing then moved forward to clear the tree and then straightened itself out so that it returned to the wing being in a horizontal position or parallel to the ground. It was stationary in midair for a moment before disappearing (headed north) while flying close to the treeline - all the while banking and pitching along with the shapes of the trees.

The entire incident took place in just a few minutes in silence and involved traveling from south to north. The only sounds made were when the wing did its positioning (a whirring sound) and the sound of the air itself rushing over the wing. The craft (or whatever it's called) gave the impression of a giant gliding sail or bird (like a pterodactyl) while flying. There was nothing threatening or frightening about the experience. This is the only time I've ever seen anything like it.

After the experience I went for a ride in my truck. The night was clear when I left, but low clouds rolled in by the time I got back. When I returned and turned on the left indicator, the seatbelt warning was beeping in unison with the indicator even though my belt was fastened. I looked at the dashboard and all the needles were moving irratically.

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

No, it was only about 40 feet from me, made no sound, and clearly moved like was being directed.

Fluying object was round , silver colour but not shiny( colour of old aluminium) but i was feeling that it is very hard material ( not as it look-like airplane ) , wery quiet (no sund was produced from this flying object), without any bright lights ( or those lights were not visible because it was very clear sunshine day without any cloud in the sky . It was aobut 60 to 80 meters in diameter with cabin like central part (just like UFO from the movies)But no windows were seen concerning our side of the flying object.

Description of Area / Surroundings

This is rural area nearest town from this place is jablanica and along this road is River Neretva and on the both sides of the river are mountanis and hills.Near this place (about 7 km from tha place is famous bridge across river from II World war.And at that palce exactly is alsaw bridge .

Full Description & Details

I was born in 1962 . When i was 8 years old i went with parents to the Adriatic see for summer holidays in August. On a road from Sarajevo to Mostar and later to Adriatic see, at 10-11 A.M. about 10 km from town of jablanica about 60-70 cars stopped to .My father alsaw stopped the car .We vent out of the car and father asked some people near us why are we all standing here on this heat( it was very hot day).We vere very nervous to come to the see.

In a second those people told us to look on the other side of the road across river Neretva about 700 meter from the bridge across river maximum 50-70 meters upon the hill (and hill is not more tha 200 m high) and about 250-300 meters from us was standing in the air big round silver but not shiny silver flying object without any lights or any sound.Object was big about 60 to maximum 80 meters in diameter very quiet .Those people told us that this object is about five minutes there before we came . There was minimum 150 eye witnesses.Because at that time of the year everubody was gonig to the see mostly whole families.

And we have minimum looked at this flying object for 3-4 minutes before it has disappiared.

It was so clear visible and so colse from us (not just my father and me) tha it was impossible that it was some sort of fiction.

Precisely place were this object was seen is hill upon the bridge over river Neretva were was Unprofor Jordan battalion securing bridge across the river.

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

It was so near to all of us and it was so clear and visible that it is impossible that it was nothing else than ufo.Just simple like that ( No airplanes , birds clouds and things like that).

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

It was glowing orange like molten metal, disk shaped like 2 quarters stacked on top of each other but with no seam on the side. The sides of the craft had semi-spherical rivets in two rows that followed the edge of the craft. The rivets also glowed like molten metal but had a darker swirling quality to each one, like oil moved about slowly in water. The bottom of the craft had an irregular box shape in the middle with 4 tubes coming off of it to what appeared to be 4 rotors. The rotors spun but I could not distinguish an opening in the craft. The craft appeared solid and very heavy. If it had been made of molten metal it would have weighed thousands of tons. It's size and shape seemed to defy physics entirely. I could not imagine what forces could keep such a bulky craft suspended in the sky.

Size of Object(s)

From my perspect the craft occupied at least the space of my arms outstretched at my sides and bent upwards at 90 degrees at my elbows. It almost filled my entire field of vision but left some space around the sides where I could see the night sky. I would say it was about 200 yards across the object. The edge of the craft was perhaps 2 stories tall, maybe more. I can't tell for sure though because I don't know how far it was from me, perhaps a hundred feet or so.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Suburban. Over a park in a Portland. There were houses all along the West and South of the park (which was roughly a square) and a school to the East of the park. There were horse pastures and a small woods to the North of the park.

Full Description & Details

I was very young and my mom needed to head to a PTA meeting for my school which was across a park to the East of where we lived. It was sometime in summer because the nights were still long. I asked my mom if I could go with her as far as the park and would play on the swings, etc. until she got back. Shortly after she departed I saw a large circular craft above the park. It filled the night sky. I believe it to be roughly the size of the park (if not bigger) which had a baseball diamond in the NE and a playground in the SE. Most of the rest of the park was grassy with trees in the SW. Anyway, the object was huge, glowing orange, with the appearance of swirling molten metal. It was circular and disk-shaped, not spherical. Picture 2 quarters stacked on top of each other with no seams on their edge. The side of the craft had many half-spherical protrusions which looked to me like rivets but were more likely windows or some sort of sensory aparatus. The craft appeared unimaginably heavy and wasn't what I would call aerodynamic. I was puzzled about it's appearance and looked at it as long as I could. I was still standing there looking at the night sky when my mom returned. I was startled that she had returned so soon and I asked her if her meeting had been cancelled. She said no, it went on for about and hour and she mentioned that she had gotten to speak with my teachers and had had some cookies or other sort of refreshments. She asked what I had been doing the whole time and I told her that I had been playing a bit on the swings, which is what I had done prior to my seeing the craft in the sky. Her leaving for the meeting and returning seemed only like a matter of minutes to me. I cannot account for roughly an hour during my sighting of the craft in the sky. I have seen other instances of what I would consider UFO's, stars stair-stepping in the sky then moving off rapidly at an angle, but nothing as detailed or as large as this. I heard reports of a burning weather balloon the following day on the news on the radio but they said that nothing of the balloon was found. What I saw could not have been mistaken by anyone for a weather balloon or anything else. I did remember the report of the balloon though because I associate it with my experience from the previous night.

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

Absolutely not. All of the qualities of it seemed contrary to what I would expect from an earthly craft. The only thing that would make it seem to function like anything I've seen before were the rotors. And I couldn't even imagine how those could support such a bulky craft without adversly affecting my surroundings. Not a breeze was stirred up by the craft even as large as it appeared to be.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I would say I knew little if anything about UFOs prior to my sighting. I had probably seen a few tv shows or movies about martians and outer space but nothing like what I saw.

Other Comments

Outside of the sighting itself the thing that puzzles me most is the duration. It appeared to only last minutes and when my mom returned from her meeting I was startled. I didn't expect her to return so soon and could only think she had come back immediately. When she said she had attended the whole meeting and then came back I couldn't figure how a few minutes on the swings plus a few minutes of watching the object would take up more than an hour. I have since then heard about abductions but I don't recall anything but standing there until she returned.

Suburban area, some farms, hovering object was over a large treeless yard. Fairview Heights, IL is near Scott Air Force Base.

Full Description & Details

10:45 PM, Clear night, 02-09-2006

On my way home from work I saw flashing lights to my right. I slowed down but did not stop. Above a treeless suburban yard I saw an object hovering, flashing red, blue, and green lights from right to left. It was metallic-looking, not shiny but moderately reflective (like pewter), with a rounded stair shape that was more pronounced on the right side. It was about twice as long as it was tall. I think I saw the cycle of red, blue, and green lights four times during the eight second sighting. The lights were on the bottom of the object, toward the right.

The defroster was on in my car, so I couldn't tell if there was sound with this object or not.

I thought my depth perception might have been fooled, and that the object may have been something small suspended in the yard or part of a signal for planes on top of a tower. I have looked at this yard twice since that night (once during the day and once at night) and have seen nothing in the yard, above it, or on the horizon behind it.

I had the feeling I was seeing something about the size of 2 city buses, one on top of the other, far enough away that the image was about 2" high x 3" long.

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

I wondered if my depth perception was off and the object could actually have been something small (12"x24") suspended in the yard. I have not seen anything in the yard since this sighting.

Perfectly round object. Appeared flat on the bottom. Flashing different colored lights which were changing constantly. Lights appeared to be rotating. Or maybe the UFO itself was rotating. It was hard to tell which was rotating.

Size of Object(s)

I do not know or could imagine the size of the object since I have never seen one before, but it was the size of 1/2 inche by 1/2 inch round object, but we could clearly make out the lights. So maybe it was a small UFO flying somewhat low to the ground.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Rural area, ranching land, cattle ranch depot, railroad tracks parallel with US Hwy 287 for a while

Full Description & Details

I was traveling with my uncle and his family from New Mexico back to Dallas. We were traveling south on US Hwy 287. We had just past a ranching depot somewhere around Clarendon, Texas which we knew because of the overpowering stench of cattle feces. We were traveling in my uncle's dually truck. Everyone was falling asleep and leaning on each other, so my cousin and I asked his dad if we could lie in the truck bed. He agreed and he pulled over so we could get out and create a makeshift bed in the truck's cargo area. My cousin and I were lying on our backs looking up at the sky. We were commenting on the clearness of the sky and multitudes of stars, and all of a sudden a rotating round flying object with small lights along the edges appeared on one side of the sky. We watched it travel slowly southwestbound. It was moving way to slow for an aircraft. And the sky was clear with a near full moon so we could see it in plainview that it could not be a part of an aircraft. The lights around the edges were colored at different times. They would change from red to green, then to blue, then to dark yellow, then the pattern would begin all over again constantly. My cousin and I both exclaimed at the first time, "Did you see THAT?!" We lied there and stared at it until we couldn't see it anymore. It was the very first time I had ever seen a UFO. I have to admit, I was a big skeptic about UFOs, aliens, and the like. But that experience has made me believe that we are not the only species of intelligent life forms here on earth. I only wonder why our government has to hide facts. People like you and me witness this kind of thing it seems like all the time now. Hopefully my sighting will help others decide for themselves whether or not this phenomenon exists. I believe it.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Before my sighting of a UFO, I was a HUGE skeptic. I even made fun of people who claimed to have seen a UFO. I thought it was a brain-fart of the human imagination. Boy was I WRONG! I am a believer now. And now I read the stories of others' accounts of UFO experience with great interest and understanding.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Very flat open area with no light polution at all. On an unlit bolls green with only shoulder high shrubs. The closests airport was JHB international which would be a good 20 kilometers away. No military or airforce base for at least 75 kilometers

Full Description & Details

I was with a group of friends at a party which we were supervising. The party was held at a well known sports club in the area. While I and three friends of mine were cleaning up the bolls green across from the hall we noticed how bright the stars were while standing in an unlit bolls green in the middle of the a moonless night. While staring at the stars we noticed a red ball of sorts that was glowing in the sky straight up above us, not on the horizon.

As we watched the ball it started to Zig zag up and down. It did this three times. But as it zig zag it would stop then zig zag again. Once it had done this, on the third zig zag it then stopped for a few seconds then started to circle then disappear.

At first we thought it was some sort of fire work display but I had never seen fire works stopping in mid air as though floating and then just disapearing with no bang. At the time of the sighting I was only 11 years old so I was not drunk. I'm not sure aside from my friends who else had seen the object.

The 16 "saucers" were round and silver in color. The time was about 8:30 am with a clear, blue sky.

Size of Object(s)

Since they were so high in the sky, but also so visible, I would guess that if they were on the earth they would have been as large as a steamship.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

Hard to say, but, judging by my knowledge of aircraft, at least 30,000 to 50,000 feet in the air.

Description of Area / Surroundings

In the northwest area of the City of Milwaukee. I was a school crossing guard regulating kids going to school in teh morning a block away from my corner.

Full Description & Details

The 16 silver disks were very high up in teh sky appearing almost tiny. They were flying east to west in an unwavering patern equally spaced apart and traveling very fast. All of a sudden they stoped stock still in the sky and then darted as a unit diagonally back and downward. They stopped again, and then proceeded to fly straight upward. They stopped again and then flew back directly east to west. They stopped one more time, and then instantly flew straight up and out of sight within seconds!

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

There is no way it was anything man-made or natural. The Cop was in awe, probably more so than us kids as we just accepted such a phenomenon, whereas the adults were in shock. I said, "Did you see what I think I saw?" And the Cop said, "Yes!"

Witness Background

Navy Reserve Commander with 42 years of military service before retiring 4 years ago at age 60. Also, in civilian life, a business executive. I should also add that in 1964, while serving in the Milwaukee Air Force Reserve's Intelligence Department as an Airman 1st Class, I used to field calls from civilians calling to report UFO sightings. These people were very agitated, but since we didn't have any method for following up, I would just tell them the little white lie that we were launching weather balloons to clam them down.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I was only 12, so had no previous knowledge/awareness of UFOs other than in comic books. The experience made me a believer! So, that when I saw another one 45 years later I wasn't as shocked. (see next report)

Other Comments

About 6 or 8 years ago (1999) I was driving home in teh suburban community of Greendale, Wisconsin, which lies oh the Milwaukee airport's glide path, when I saw a huge cigar-shaped object hovering just about tree-top height, It was covered in multi-colored lights. At first I assumed it was an aircraft heading for the airport, but no, because it was standing stock still. I pulled to the side of the raod and just stared at it assuming it would soon fly away. I sat there in my car for a good 5 minutes when a car coming from the opposite direction on Southway Street also stopped and stared. I called to the lady and asked if she was seeing the UFO, too. She said, "YES!" I waited so long, I finally decided to drive the 2 b;ocks home and get my camera. But, by the time I retirned it was gone,a nd so was the lady in the other car.

They'r almost transparent flushing with white lights for a secound/ They're very fast but their moves are also very "soft" I can't express. They're in move all the time. from side to side making cirles or different types of Figures. But they are almost transparency. It;s very hard to see them first. Sometimes it;s like a cloud sometimes like a black bird for a secounds.

The best time to see them is night and fog or very cloudy skies.
