Description of Area / Surroundings

This portion of Highway 1 in Cary is just south of heavily lit and trafficed areas. Lighting was poor.

Full Description & Details

I was traveling southbound on Highway 1 in Cary, North Carolina when, in the distance, I see what looked like lights on a radio tower. The only thing is, I knew that I had never seen these lights before, nor a radio tower in this vicinity before, as I had traveled this route many many times. There were two sets of non-moving lights: each set had one red light and one blue light. The blue lights were solid and the red lights flashed. They were flying fairly low (approximately 400 - 500 feet). As I approached the lights, I determined that they were directly over the highway. As I approached even closer, one set of lights quickly vanished. Almost immediately upon driving under the lights, the other set of lights completely dissappeared. At no point were any objects clearly visible other than the lights. I opened my window and listened for a motor or prop. I could not see or hear a rotating prop. (It was not a helicopter).

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

It's hard to say.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I believe most UFOs reported are false and those that are legitimate UFO sightings are military invoked.

Full Description & Details

Last night Oct 5 Tues 2005 looked out from kitchen window into dark sky and was stunned. I saw a large triangle shaped kraft hovering with lights at points. I ran and told my child (7) to hurry up and come see this. We looked out again and saw triangle shape gone and in place of it was many lights that moved in a cirlcular pattern. Red, Green and bright white light that seemed to pulse on and off. We stepped outside on front lawn to better observe. Total silence in the air (live in a very quiet country setting) No drone of plane or planes or choppers. Several times we went in when lights seems to get a bit closer as we were both a bit nervous. The lights moved in all manner. Up, down hover side to side etc. Definate not search lights either. Still total silence. After about 28 min a chopper came right through the area lights were in. Chopper moved on seeming not see them. They moved way up in the sky and came back down after it passed through. Kitchen window looks out to Eastern sky and location of my house would be considered more East Derry. It is not the first time I have observed something, but it has been many years for this particular area.

Full Description & Details

[From original 'brief description']:

My best friend was driving her car; I was in the front passenger seat, and our friend (also our housemate) was in the back. We were driving on rural roads to go visit her (friend in backseat) sister and brother in law who lived around Overbrook, Kansas. I was looking down while rolling a cigarette when she exclaimed, "Look!" For some reason, I immediately looked up and out the window and so did my best friend; it seemed as though we just knew where to look. Surprisingly, we did not feel afraid but were filled with awe, and I had the presence of mind to look at the car's clock and record the time. After a few seconds, we stopped the car; we got out and watched the object until it disappeared. When we got back into the car, I asked if they each agreed upon what was witnessed. We were all in agreement.

-----------------

[Full Description]:

The object flew above the tree line, though seemingly not too much higher. It is difficult to gauge, being as it was at night, over a basically flat field with few trees, and I am not an expert at altitude. I try to explain it like this: extend your flattened palm between one foot's distance from the tip of your nose to maybe the full extension of your arm (flexibility of distance to account for fallibility of memory); this is about how it seemed, except that the breadth was more expansive. it was LARGE. MASSIVE. kinda like a flying football field in the sky. It appeared to be constructed of some kind of metal, with a flat bottom, and I remember specifically being amazed that I could see that the bottom was not a singular piece of material, but was composed and consisted of plates of metal that looked to be pieced together with rivets. it reminded me of a quilt. The undercarriage also had several (don't know how many--more than 10 I would say) lights, which I recall to be similar to regular car headlights, except probably much more powerful, and were puzzling to me because they seemed to have been, figuratively, sprinkled on--their arraingment appeared sporadic, haphazard, disorganized, erratic. To my recollection, they were constant, and did not flicker, nor did they graze the ground. I remember only seeing the underside of the object, which we all agreed appeared to be wingless. The shape is difficult to describe, because it doesn't conform to any geometric shape; the closest I've been able to come is to compare it to a slightly elongated hexagon. But the main feature for us, and what took us aback, was that it was absolutely, positively SILENT. I could not tell the speed at which it traveled, except to say that it did not dart, and stayed on a "straight" course over the field at a steady and deliberate pace: imagine a pope's hand waving slowly over a crowd. I wish I had kept track of the time with my watch, but I was absorbed in the sight; however, I think we watched it somewhere from 15 seconds to a minute before it met the horizon line and was beyond our vision. I yelled at it in the hopes that it would show some acknowledgement, but it did not. To my recollection, we did not experience any interference with any electrical components of the car or accessories on our person, nor do I remember static on the radio, but knowing my friend, we were probably listening to a CD--don't know if that matters.

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

Given what I perceive as the criteria for what constitues a "natural" versus "man-made" object, I believe that the object can objectively be ruled out as "natural." I think that it is reasonable to examine the object as a man-made aircraft . I also believe that given the degree of my knowledge about the object and its affiliations, I cannot, with any certainty, postulate as to its origins.

Witness Background

I am an off again, on again college student who has lived in the Deep South most of her life, and recently moved back after a 3 1/2 year stint in Kansas. I am not strongly affiliated with any organized religion, and do think of myself as having what might be known as a spiritual life. I have not made many decisive calls on the metaphysical. Anything might be possible could sum it up.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I am, and remain, skeptical of alien abduction as a "true" phenomenon (I tend to side with alien abduction as a sensory-based metaphor and phenomenon of the psyche). Since I don't have a plethora of evidence or percentage figures to aid, I perceive sightings of UFOs (in the popular culture sense) as runing along a continuum, with some being hoaxes, some legitimate, some misconceptions, some misrepresentations, some possibly accurate in their conclusions, and perhaps some a combination. Provided they are not attempting to deceive, I emphasize the relevance of respect for the validity of the *experience* of every person who reports "unusual" phenomena. Belittlement engenders silence, and silence nourishes ignorance. I think many sighters' accounts are truthful to their perceptions and are of value; afterall, they did experience *something.*

Description of Area / Surroundings

3 miles outside of a small town. Morris , Ok population 1,250. A few farm houses scattered around the area.

Full Description & Details

It happened late in the summer of 1987 about 3 miles north of Morris, Ok. It was around 10:30 to 11:00 pm on a sunday night. I was on my way home from Talequah Oklahoma heading south on Highway 52 towards Morris. I looked to my right through some trees and brush and noticed a large glowing red light through the tree/shrub line at the north end of a private grass runway that was owned by family friend Dick Ashley. At first I thought it was some sort of airplane with a LOT of red lights all over it. As I got even with it on a paraellel course it started moving south down the runway. It was then that I noticed that when it got close to a runway light (which were turned off) the light would illuminate. The closer it was to the light, the brighter the runway light would illuminate with it's own white light. As it passed each runway light , the runway light would dim back out and go off. They were incandesant bulbs. I have since learned that a very strong electro-magnetic field can cause this to occur. The UFO continued down the grass runway reaching around 70 mph. At the south end of the runway it climbed to around 100 feet and turned directly east , heading for highway 52. I wasn't for sure what it was until then. I pulled my old truck over to the side of the road and stoped and got out. It came down directly over the highway to about 50 feet up and stoped and hovered there with only a very low humming noise. It sat there for about 3-4 minutes as if to study me. I was scared yet intriuged at the same time. I thought that NO ONE is going to believe my story. There was a trailer house directly across the road from where I had stoped and I wanted more witnesses. So I picked up a new rocks and threw them at the side of the trailer, but no one ever came out. There may have been no one home or maby they were asleep. I had hoped that it would land and maby I could meet them if there were any inside flying this thing. After the 3-4 minute hover it started flying north up Hi 52 and decended down to 3 or 4 feeet above the road and continued north for 1/2 mile. Then took a left and headed west on what we all call the old Gun club road staying only a few feet off the ground. I could see the fence posts between me and it as it flew away at about 50-60 mph. I got back in my truck and started to follow it but decided to head on home. I knew I must keep this a secret to myself for the rest of my life. If I told any one they would think I was nuts and I'd end up in a mental institution. My house was only a few miles away from the sighting. As I pulled up in the driveway, I noticed the pourch light came on and my wife was standing in the door to greet me. That was somthing she NEVER did when I came home after a weekend away. As I approached her I noticed a blank, sort of scared look on her face. So I said,"Did you see it?" and she replied "Holy shit did you see it too?" I said "Hell yes I saw it!" So we stood outside looking around the sky and traded stories. She said she was coming home about a half hour earlier and saw the same thing on the old Morris highway. She said it came down and blocked the road in front of her car only a couple of feet off of the road and about 2 car lengths away and sat there for a couple of minutes. She was so scared she just froze. Didn't get out or try to back up. Then it lifted straight up and over the power lines and flew off to the north east. My son was in the car with her but was so young at the time that he doesn't remember much. He was 5 and remembers the big light in the road but didn't know to be afrade or curious.

I thought at the time that this might be the start of a lot of sightings or maby first contact between us and them but that wasn't the case. Neither me nor my wife ever saw it again. But I did carry a cheap camera in my truck for several years after that. At first I tried to tell myselft it was some sort of new experimental military aircraft. But if that were the case it wouldn't be coming down and blocking traffic on public roads. That violates all kinds of Federal Avation Administration regulations. Plus if it was new and experimental they would be doing testing in some secluded location like the desert where no one could see. So I know what we saw that night and there is no stupid weather baloon explination that can change my mind. But I would still like to meet them for I know they have to be highly intelligent to be able to cross the vastness of space to come here.

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

There is no way it can be explaned by any conventional man made or natural object. It moved too fast at times and hovered quietly during other times.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Before the sighting I thought UFO sightings were for crazy drunken rednecks. Now I know what I witnessed and feel that maby some reports are actually true. I now believe a story told to me a few years earlier by a highschool friend and his brothers and sisters.

As my husband and I were driving down the highway at aproximately 9:00 at night, I looked in the sky and saw a green sphere traveling towards the earth at a high speed. It glowed like a green glow stick...as it traveled I saw flames coming off of it and then it disappeared behind a mountain. It all happened in a matter of seconds I tried to show my husband, but by the time he looked it was gone. It was also quite large in size. The next day I was telling my son-in-law about it and my daughter came running over and said "was it green?"....we discussed it and she had seen the same thing. She was 120 miles away at the time.

I entered a parking lot & my attention was drawn upward because of an object speeding in the sky. I would have made an immediate left but continued straight ahead to keep watch on such an unfamilar sight. Soon the upper corner of a building blocked my view for a few seconds. However, when my field of vision was clear again the object was not to be found.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

The object was not visible directly. The first flash, which was also the brightest, had a magnitude comprable to that of Venus. The flash and streak that followed became dimmer. The light was white in color, there may have been a bluish hue to it, but it was likely a result of the contrast of the white on black.

Size of Object(s)

The object was not directly visible

Description of Area / Surroundings

Was in a suburban area. The sighting occurred in my backyard which backs up to a park. The tree line was just below where the object appeared in the sky. No special features in the area.

Full Description & Details

The 2 flashes and 1 streak were seen in the northern sky at about 40 degrees in altitude at an estimated magnitude similar to if not brighter than Venus. It initially appeared to be an iridium flare, however the flash appeared again, but dimmer. Its final appearance was as a dim steak of light a few degrees in length. I assume it was the same object as a straight line could be drawn from where the flashes and streak occurred. I can rule out a fireball, as it was traveling too slow and during the 15 seconds or so I saw it, the object moved only about 5 to 10 degrees (towards the horizon.) I doubt it was a disabled satellite, tumbling in its orbit because its appearance in the sky was too short, but it should not be ruled out as a possibility. I doubt it was an extraterrestrial vehicle

It should be important to note that the first flash was seen indirectly, as I was viewing a satellite as it trekked across the sky from the general direction of North to South. An airplane was seen shortly after the event traveling from West to East, so it is possible that there were witnesses there that saw the same event.

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

As stated earlier, it is unlikely that the object was a fireball, as it was moving to slow. It is most likely a decaying satellite tumbling in its orbit. (I have a lot of confidence in this explaination, but what's interesting is that the sighting was so short)

Witness Background

I am a trustworthy person, I do not suffer from any mental problems except A.D.D. and it is important to note that i'm also a boy scout. I've been a lounge chair astronomer for 4 years now and I haven't seen anything like this before. I am a high school student (10th grade), and I take the topic of UFO's very seriously.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I had known quite a bit about UFO's, both as ET vehicles and as purely unidentified flying objects, before the sighting.
