strange thing happened in our locality, our locality rests near the musi lake, it was about 6.40 pm in the evening the sky was clear,it was about getting dark i and my brother were on the terrace some thing unknown happened there was a sudden light of brightness all around us a golden yellow coloured light we saw it was coming from the river,all of a sudden this light travelled straight up into the sky , we were really scared ,not only us our neighbors also saw this thing,when it reached the sky it split into three discs travelled north to a distance and they suddenly dissappeared, to our astonishment the river was looking calm as usual not even a sign of anything present there it came out of the ground but how? this is startling us till now.it was big stretching an area of 200square yards,the river was almost dry at that time,its flow was covering only an area of 50-60 sq.yrds,how come this thing came out of the ground?still puzzling us. not only us may be some 40 members or more might have viewed this. we have reporter in our locality we approached him while hearing this he laughed suggested us not to see more bullshit movies.so we said let us just shut up and forget about it,we are still puzzled...........we were sitting there for over a period of three hours we saw nothing in the river it was normal as usual all of a sudden it came out where was it hiding?

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

see i am not at all a believer of ufos, but seeing this strange thing i think i must believe something strange is hidden everywhere on this earth,unknown,not to the belief of our own senses,though science has developped a lot there are somethings unexplained or unseen,there are some startling puzzles still unsolved........

Other Comments

i feel we are part of creation not the creators,we achieved a lot through science but can we challenge that we are equal to creator?we are scientists or gods?can we define our scientists and their science as gods?

Description of Area / Surroundings

New Norcia is A historis Monastery town in a predominately farming area. there is a radio telescope sveral kms away (to the wsw I think) and the Pearce Airbase of the Royal Australian Air Force is around 70 ks to the south.

Full Description & Details

Out for a drive to the North East of my home in Perth Western Australia. Stopped at the town of New Norcia, approx 100 km from Perth. Did not notice the irregularity on photo till viewed on computer 3 months later. Did not notice anything in the sky at the time, in terms of sight or sound..Took a series of photos of the town with the storm gathering behind as a backdrop.

The Main Photo that I first noticed the "UFO" was taken facing east in the mid afternoon (photo AUT_9310 which I have emailed via below address). other photo (AUT_9305 was taken several mins before facing south. Photo AUT_9310 was taken near the church seen in this photo. Although I am not able to tell exactly what the shape is it does not look "right" to me and a few friends I have shown it to can not give me a clear answer either.

I suppose that criteria would make it a UFO but I would be hesitant to make any claim of extraterrestrial origin till someone with more experience and access to better photographic refinement technology (not hard in my case!) had a chance to look at it. The camera is a Canon Powershot A50 1.3 megapixel. All Subsequent images, incuding one taken several seconds later but looking more to the south (as in a two part panorama shot) do not show anything like that, nor Have I winessed anything like that with the camera before.

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

Nothing that I can tell, but I'm no expert!! I was hoping that someone could shed some light on it for me. If it's a naturally occurring or man made thing, that's fine with me. but I thought I should share it to get others input.

Witness Background

I work in customer service, and I'm currently in study to move into the IT field.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I've read the odd bit here and there, and a couple of books on the subject. I am of the opinion that to consider ourselves the most advanced species in the galaxy is very short sighted. I beleive that there are species that are far more advanced than ourselves sharing "our" space.

Full Description & Details

I was a twelve-year old at the time, and I was outside the mobile home where my Mom and I lived, and at 10:00 PM, I went outside to turn off lawn sprinklers. Our two dogs were barking towards the east, and I thought there was a car on the road. There wasn't, so I looked up and there was a disk-shaped light, cruising from E to W. It was changing color from red to blue, to yellow, to orange, and back to red again. It did this several times during the time it was in view. There are power lines nearby, and it was following a set running from the main line to a nearby house. Both dogs were barking (still). I called to my mom and asked her to come out and see, but she was preoccupied with trying to get TV reception. After the object went over the western horizon, the dogs stopped barking and my mom said "The TV's fixed, what is it?" I told her "Nothing now. It'll wait."

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

No. I am familiar with aircraft, and this was not a plane. It did not appear to be a natural object, nor any other man-made object.

Orange: It was a clear crisp afternoon and I was walking to my pool. I was drawn upward and I had to double take and blink my eyes a few times before I knew what I was seeing. And what I saw was a cluster of 10+ UFO's. They were moving at a incredible speed,criss-crossing in front of eachother. They almost looked as though they were rookie pilots. JUst as fast as I saw them they were gone.

Garden Grove: My boyfriend and I had just parked coming back from Knott's Berry farm. We were ready to get out of the car when I looked at the clouds. The clouds were big and looked like an angel could land on them. At that moment I saw a silver, BRIGHT SILVER,glowing almost blinding me. I yelled to my boyfriend, and he saw it immediatly. We watched it for quite some time. It was going all directions;NEWS. It was ziz-zaging and going in and out of the clouds. And it went in one cloud and refused to come back.

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

For me personally,no. But science has to find an explanation for everyting.

I really don't know

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

The object was dark even in the sky. Now that I think about it - it makes sense - a dark unlit object can't easily be seen at night...until it's close. But at the time, I wasn't thinking about that at all. I was just watching it. No lights anywhere that I noticed. As it got closer, it was enormous. At least a football field length long - maybe bigger but I couldn't see it completely becuase it was so close overhead. Then, the lights were on but it just glowed on the bottom. Don't know what the top was like...never saw it.

Size of Object(s)

At least a football field length - maybe bigger.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Where I live there is a military base. Large base. They test a lot of planes. Where I remember seeing the object/dreaming it? was in an intersection - nothing was around but the town where I used to live was Grand Forks, ND and there is a military base there too. And that is where I thought I was - North Dakota????

Full Description & Details

This occurred late at night - I was sleeping. I'm still not sure if it was a lucid dream, or what, but it bothers me. The first thing I remember is I was standing on a street corner - no cars were around. It was late at night and there was another girl standing near me, to my left side. I did not know her. I felt like I was waiting for something but did not know what exactly. The intersection reminded me of one in North Dakota where I lived a few years ago... because my surroundings were flat unlike my current residence where there are lots of trees and some hills. I looked to the sky and saw this dark object - it looked like a dark ball - no lights. And I thought to myself, huh, I that's not so big, I thought they'd be bigger. But then I realized that it was far away because it grew in size.

I had to tilt my head backwards to see the thing and I still couldn't see it all. It was black beneath - I have no idea what the top looked like - never saw it. I remember noticing light around me, but I don't recall seeing actual lightbulbs or lights on the underside. I don't know it's exact shape because the thing was way out and dark and then over my head. If I were to guess - I'd say triangular, but it's just a guess.

The next thing I remember is being in a small room. The lights were dimmed and it all seemed to be in muted tones. I'm fogetting some of the details - the colors and all. That bothers me too. Anyways, I realized the other girl/lady was not with me anymore and I asked this female thing where the lady went. She let me know without speaking - almost as if she sent me a chunk of information - a complete thought - I don't know how else to explain it. - that the lady/girl was on her own "tour". That's the thought I got - a tour or with other guides. Something like that. ? Then, it's like I realized I was not in my bed and I was talking to this "alien" and I got kind of excited. I looked at her better now...because before I was concerned with where this lady disappeared to and so Ii didn't even really "look" at the person in the room. But she was very thin - short but not much shorter than me - I'm 5'2''. One wierd thing - she had hair - I realized it was wierd and must have thought something like you aren't supposed to have hair (it looked like a blonde wig styled like that of a 1960's airline stewardess)????? because she sent me this thought like, it's too comfort you. I guess so I would be more at ease but it just looked so wrong. I seemed to focus on her darn hair. It was just not right. Anyways, I was still excited not frightened and not at ease either. I asked her now, am I dreaming? Because the wig/hair thing really was just wrong. She told me - or sent me the idea - no you are not dreaming. Then, I got really excited and I blurted out or thought instantly - I knew it! I knew you were real. I got this feeling of her being so pleased that it almost seemed that she was laughing...but her expression never changed. She was so pleased with me. That made me feel good. I wanted her to be happy. Then, she asked if I was ready for the tour? I followed her out of the room into a hallway. I remember that the hall was a silver grey or maybe a metallic color. It was much brighter in the hallway - I again saw no "lights" but it was light all around me. Anways, we walked a little bit and I have a vague memory of seeing some sort of elevator in the center of this large open room when we walked around the corner. (I just remembered that! I think I had forgotten) It just opened up and was huge - beautiful really. It reminded me - the closest thing I could think of - like the center of a mall. The kind that has those glass windows on the ceiling and the waterfountain below? No waterfountain was there but I think there were plants around the elevator thingy. We didn't go into the center but kept onthe outside near the wall. I followed her and I don't remember much talking/thinking from her as we walked. We entered another room and this room was enormous too. It had hundereds, maybe, of chairs in it. They appeared similar to those chairs that have the metal on the outide in a shape of an "s" and then the seats are plastic. I think they have or had them in elementary schools? Anyways, the seats were located in the center of this very large open area. Glass windows or maybe it was a shiny metal all was to my left. Then, she kind of thought to me that she hoped I would be pleased. I got the feeling I was being rewarded - that this was a surprise, a reward of some kind. And I felt that she was going to let me see my grandparents - but they are dead. I had noticed when I first entered this room that there were photos - I guess - they had people's faces on them and I guess they were photos - the photos were sitting on the chairs. The top of the photos were resting against the back of the chairs and the bottom edge of the photo was on the seat part. She walked to the left side of the mass of chairs. I just kept looking at all the faces on the photos....they were of all races. All different. All of varying ages. Hundreds - I felt overwhelmed. She got near the back rows of the seats and stopped. Then, she motioned with her hand for me to go into the row of chairs. She was so proud I felt. So happy for me and hoped I was happy too. I was feeling excited and happy but confused. Then, she told me to stop. I stopped and looked at the phtoos on the chairs. She seemed to sense my confusion. And I felt her mood change. That scared me. Concerned me. She asked if I knew these people but they were Indian - not native american but Indian...I think or maybe they were asian...but the skin was dark and the eyes were dark and the hair was dark but I am light haired and blue-green eyed. I said I didn't know these people. Like I said, I had thought I was going to get to see my grandparents and indeed these two people looked old and one was female and the other was male but they were NOT relatives of mine. Then, her mood went icy cold. She just shut off...and I felt nothing from her. I worried that I had displeased her and that I'd done something wrong. I think I kept thinking what did I do? What is wrong? Then, these shorter, twig like grey beings were around me - encircling me -and they were kind of pushing me down to the floor. She was still hadn't moved. But I could see her through the opening of the heads. I was laying on my right side and I saw this needle thingy coming toward me and I think but am not sure that the liquid inside was orange - ? Not sure. Anyways, they put it in my arms and I woke...in my bed on my left side with a sore left upper shoulder. There was a small bruise and a pin prick mark on my shoulder. It's gone now.

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

It could DEFINATELY be explained as a dream but that was one hell of a dream then.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I have never been certain about their visiting the earth. Do I believe they exist in the universe - absolutely. Have I read about them - I have books my dad has sent me. He sends me them because he says he has seen them. I have been interested in them and I have not read them all but I have read a lot about them. I have never dreamed of them before.

Other Comments

I want to know what this was. Did I dream it? It felt very real. I have drawn the pictures of it. I've gone back through the books my dad gave me about UFO's trying to find something - something similar - but I found nothing. I did find your URL/email address from the book: The Threat. I skimmed it and don't recall anything similar to my experience. I don't remember ever having anything like this before. Just had a thought - I've also lived in Virginia Beach, VA. ...huge navy shipyard and base there.

Full Description & Details

At 03:53 am, local time (-6h gmt), 12-oct-05 my wife and I observed a point of light moving at variable speed in a straight line through the sky. The point appeared to accelerate to a speed faster speed than could be explained by an aeroplane then suddenly slowed and changed direction, almost 180 degrees. The point moved back a small distance (about a third of the total distance we had seen it travelling) and disappeared. The whole event lasted approximately 30 seconds.

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

The characteristics that suggest the sighting was a UFO are the fact that the object accelerated rapidly (like a meteorite), changed direction suddenly then disappeared. There was no noise to indicate that it could be a helicopter or airplane.

Witness Background

Day/Night: 

Nighttime

No. of Witnesses:

Duration: 

approx. 2-3 seconds

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Moving east to west(right to left) across my wind shield. A flaming ball with blue center surrounded by yellow trailing into orange and red. like a candle flame going horizontally and leaving a red trail. Came from beyond my vision behind trees and passed beyond trees on opposite side and out of my field of vision.

Size of Object(s)

Dime sized at arms length. Hard to judge because of speed and duration but the size remained the same across the windshield.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

150 to 200 feet in altitude,1/8 mile ahead of me approx.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Semi-rural,industrialized area. Many power lines and chemical factories in the area(DuPont etc.) Not aware of power plants.

Full Description & Details

Driving northbound in tractor trailer on 295 in southern NJ. Saw a flame pass from east to west directly across my field of vision in windshield. I thought at the time it might be a plane on fire or a satellite re-entry. It looked like someone had tossed a burning match head across the front of my truck. Sighting was approximately 2-3 seconds in duration and could not have been something thrown because I was driving around 60-65 MPH. It was not a jet engine flame because it flickered and trailed like a torch flame without any semblance of forced gasses behind it. It had a blue center like a gas flame with a yellow and red and orange corona and tail. The tail was mostly orange and red growing redder the farther away from the head of the flame.

I am writing this because I see there was a similar sighting in Oregon 1987. I have seen several strange moving lights in my travels around the country over the past 30 years. Most can be explained as reflections of parking lot sodium vapor lights or headlights over a hill, but this was on an interstate that is heavily traveled with wooded areas on both sides. Nothing was reported of crashes or meteors on the radio or in the news papers. I checked thoroughly. The sky was clear and relatively cloudless. It was late and quite dark. Any lighting is from the town lights beyond the wooded areas(1/4 mile away). It was a curios enough sight to stick with me all these years. I wonder if anyone else in Southern New Jersey saw a fireball aroud the same time?

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

The only possible explanation is a piece of space junk burning up on reentry or a plane on fire but it did not look anything like the shuttle pieces I saw on TV and there was no visible fusilage of a plane. The flame did not diminish in size ,or grow,across the windshield so it was probably moving slightly northward, my direction of travel.

Witness Background

Retired truck driver and trucking company manager. Experienced in the tricks that lights and fog can play. Have driven in most of the 50 states and in every possible type of weather and storm. I have a lot of experience doing accident investigation as a manager. I have traveled I-295 hundreds of times.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I have read about UFO's and believe that odds are we're not alone in this vast universe. I don't claim this as a sighting of an alien craft. Just an unidentified sighting of something strange and curious to me.

I'd be interested to know of any other fireball sightins like mine.

Full Description & Details

i was fiveteen and just got my self a pupy, mum would not let me keep the dog in so i had to make a bed for it in the yard. it was sumer time and that nite the dog would not stop suking so i went to the yard and layed on the grass with the dog on my chest.

i notect a fliker in the sky which i thought was a falling star, it got my atention and i was looking at the stars.

then i notecet a big star and small mooving parelel to each other that came from behind a cloud cover. When they came to a point they instently disapeared. I was disbeleving what i just saw when two other stars apeard from the same origenal point, moovet to same point and disapeared in the clare again. this repeated it self at least ten times that i saw.

the last star to come out was a single larg star but did not disapear, it stayed there untill you could not see it fom the day light.

this event must have efected me some what becouse i kept on seeing ufo related dreams for some years.

p.s. i hope you dont mind my bad spelling
