Summary:

Dark - simetrical object aperared from the clouds directly above me and started appraching verticaly. By the time I grabbed my cammera it changed direction and went some 2-3 km to the south.

Size of Object(s)

relative...when it was closest ....maybe 15 cm

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.

Summary:

One night at dinner, soon after I was done eating, my family and I were looking out the window for some reason. As we looked, a glowing, flashing, circular object with windows that could be seen flew over our trees very slowly, rotating as it went...

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

It was a large rotating sphere-ish/triangular-ish craft that was flashing purple and red and white lights. The red and purple lights were more subtle, as if they were just to illuminate the ship to be seen, while the white lights were like the lights on a flashlight or a lightbulb, except for the fact that it had no exact beam, but more of just a present light. It's hard to explain in words. But the white light was very bright, while the colored lights were subdued. Also, I could make out lighted squarey windows on the ship, surrounding it all around.

Size of Object(s)

Since this was many years ago, I can't exactly remember how the craft was to me, but I remember one of my children stretched out his arms all the way and said, "I could hold it in my hands!" So that gives you a good estimate, assuming that my child was average for his age of 8. Now the actual size was pretty large...Maybe 15-20 ft. tall, and anywhere from 35-60 ft. across. Again, it's hard to recall the exact size of the UFO.

Description of Area / Surroundings

It was in a small sub-division, in a rural suburban area. Houses around, but also some woods surrounding a lot of the houses and in the middle of the lots.

Full Description & Details

As I said earlier, we were all sitting around the table - we had eaten late because my husband was caught in traffic, and we just sat there for a few minutes to wind down. Anyway, just sitting there, we looked out the window and at first, we just saw the light from the UFO cast out over the trees. Our woods had a tree that was maybe 75-100 ft. tall, and the UFO couldn't have been more than 50 ft. above the tree. It came out over the ridge in our roof, flying low over the trees, and we were all screaming, "get the camera, get the camera!" Of course, that exact week at my daughter's birthday party we had run out of film and had not stopped to get more yet, so there were no pictures.

The UFO looked almost like a circle, with the implication that it was a rounded triangle. It was a little more pointy than a circle, and it was flashing purple and red and white. The red and purple lights seemed to almost make up the ship, while the white lights were kind of like searchlights, except for the fact that there were no exact beams of light - like the ship was made of the light or something. It was really weird because it looked like it was looking for something in the woods; at least to me. I also think this because of the fact that it seemed to stop and just hover over the big tree in our woods, for a few seconds, and then it continued slowly on. It went over our neighbors' woods, and then all the lights turned off just before it disappeared over a ridge of trees to the east. We were all very excited and scared, but it was exhilirating. None of my friends or family believe me, so this is really the first time I've gotten to give this story to the public.

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

No I honestly do not think that it was anything made in this world. Unless it was a top-secret military project or something, it was't from this planet. It was completely silent, which I know because the windows were open in the summertime.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

My views on UFO's before this sighting were pretty much set. This wasn't the only UFO sighting I've ever seen, but it was by fat the most vivid. The other one I almost disregarded, but after this I did some serious research.

Other Comments

It was just a very freaky experience for my family and I, and I now whole-heartedly believe that there are other life-forms out there.

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.

Summary:

I saw what appeared to be a very intense white light outide my bedroom window, it was here near the same time for a series of night sometimes up to 30 minutes. I took a series of pictures within a 5 minute period of time and this is what showed up, there was no moon in these pictures nor stars, it was 5:30 in the morning.

Day/Night: 

.

Duration: 

multiple sightings ranging from 6 to 18 minutes

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

extremely bright white light, while snapping the camera it seemed to respond and changed from white to red and changed shapes. this was seperate as you will see there is still also the white light and smaller wite lights and then the strangest things which ranged from white to red and all different shapes all taken within a period of just a couple minutes.

Size of Object(s)

it was perhaps 4 inches relative size and i cannot give even an estimated actual size as this was changing shapes and I cant even think of a realistic size.you will be able to see in contrast to the tree tops

Description of Area / Surroundings

It is a rural area, a small town in which there is no real special sites. There isnt any reason I can think of other than non man made for this to have appeared in the sky.

Full Description & Details

As I have already stated it was around 5:30 in the morning. The first day I was woke up by a bright light in my window, for months prior I had not been able to sleep as my mind would tend to wander and soon the whole night would have passed by. I woke up to see a light up in the sky, I would have assumed that it was a very large and bright star if I would not have seen what appeared to be some sort of a triangular outline to it as it became a little closer to dawn. I was also able to see this very faint flashing red light and what appeared to be a series of smaller white lights. It was visible for approximately 13 minutes the first day and even upon opening the window I was able to hear no audible sounds coming from what I knew was in the sky no more than a mile and a half up. It just dissappeared and although shaken I put it behind me and got on with the day with the thought of hopefully never seeing it again. The very next morning I was awoke from the same light, this time there was a multitude of smaller lights about the same size as a star but at a much lower altitude. These moved very silently, no noise and quickly along the treeline. I tried to find my digital camera but as I turned the camera on the batteries were dead which made no sense because they had been previously changed, by the time I found new batteries this display of lighting was gone. That night I couldnt sleep, but it seems that i must have as I checked the clock at 1 and the next time I looked it was 5:18 but I had felt as though I had gotten no sleep at all. I was ready this time, digital camera and extra batteries at hand. I went downstairs to relieve myself and upon returning to my bedroom I saw again this intense white light. I climbed out my window and sat on the roof as I took the following picures all within a few minutes, this was by far the shortest period of time that this UFO as I call it made an appearance. It was white when i started snapping the camera and the other things that showed up in the camera turned from a white light to a red as you will see if this allows for attachments so i can share my pictures. This had happened several nights since this, right up until about a week ago. Could be a completely unrelated incident but I have also been awakened in the night with unexplained burns, scratches and rashes and severe pains on concentrated areas of my body when this has never previously happened before. My daughter also will not sleep in her bedroom and when she does she screams and cries uncontrollably, she now sleeps in my room with me. I would appreciate any insight at all as I cannot seem to live normally and my daughter is afraid to sleep in her own room for some reason but as I said it could be a completely seperate situation that is causing my harm and my daughters fear. I will continue to try and photograph this as it seems to come continually.

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

Absolutely not, this was by far the strangest thing I have ever seen, no balloons, airplanes, satellites etc could have done what this object did within a period of a couple minutes.

Witness Background

I am a bartender, graduated high school in 2002 and am trying to get back into school to become a radiologist.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Before this incident I did not believe in UFO's, I had gone through a series of fears while pregnant in which I could not sleep and had to have enormous curtains over the windows because I had this fear that something was coming for my child. I cannot explain to this day where this come from but it was a real fear. I had seen something as a child similar, white light floating through the sky over a pond near my house.

Other Comments

I will promise i am not crazy, Im quite normal and I wish that this was not happening to me as it is taking a huge emotional toll on me. I feel as though I am going insane but I have the photos to prove that I am not making all this up for any reason and that keeps me somewhat sane.

Summary:

disk object sighted hovering directly over Juan Tabo overpass and Interstate-40, 15' above lights of overpass. It hovered there for a while and slowly moved off NW direction out of the freeway lights and I couldn't see it any longer.

Duration:

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

black metalic disk/round object with no clearance lights on. It was dark/night so freeway lights illuminate th bottom of saucer. disk/saucer had a deco-perimeter of metalflake/reflector design. No insignia was observed. It was difficult to determine the height of object because of darkness.

Size of Object(s)

approx. 4"-5" widew itharms extended. Possibly 90'-120' in diameter. Approx. 235'- 285' away, moving parallel to I-40 and closer approx. 180' but lighting was dimmer although closer.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Urban. Major artery overpass crosses Interstate 40 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Approx 2.5 miles from Sandia mountains;4-5 miles from Sandia Natioal Labs. Almost same distance to Kirtland Air Force Base/ Albuquerque International Airport. Lots of ufo sightings here since the 1940's.

Full Description & Details

I was outside andlooked up towards the freeway overpass and noticed a ufo/ object hovering directly over the overpass. Object remained hovering there and the passing cars did not seem to react to the object so close to the street. It may have been out of their (vehicles) vision. No one honked, reved up their engines, or went faster or slower in reaction to the object which i thought was strange. A ufo in a crowded area should cause some kind of reaction. Object was blacked out for maybe that reason; so it wouldn't attract attention. There were no clearance lights at all,no glowing parts,no distortion of object or air around it. A perimter design on the bottom of object reflected the light from sodium lights ofoverpass. this was highly reflective approx.18"-24". It seemed to be an artistic or graphic design imilar to metalflake paint or 3-M hrand reflective highway tape ( multi-layer highly reflective) Object then moved slowly at approx. 10mph. to the WNW and went out of the freeway lighting and dissapeared. Object was in complete control at all times with no difficulty to pull a hover for a long time,no wobblng or deviations at all , and no angular travel as seen in many ufo pictures. It was parallel to the ground at all times. Object was very flat on bottom with no protrusions or outlines of a door.

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

Absoutely not. I've seen hundreds of prop and jet engined planes and this object did not remotely look like any current technology. It wasaclear night with great visibility. No clouds in sky at all! Not a weather balloon or any nat. phenomena. These archaic hackneyed, weak, explanations for what might have happened just don't work inthis case! None of these could possibly be what I witnessed. If you have seen a ufo you know exactly what I mean.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I've read some but that does not effect what i witnessed in the least. This was not my first sighting so it wasn't as shocking as the first one was.

ok well this ship or what ever you want it call it was huge. It was so high in the sky yet it was still big. it was in the shape of a rectangle with a bend in it kind of like a boomarang. The lights were pulating and me and my two buddies were stuck just staring at this thing. We thought it was a lazer show or someyhing to that nature but puerto rico had no such event going on. we were scared and in dis belief. my hairs all over my body were standing up. Their were about 20 other people there that night and every body was coming up with their own conclusions on what the hell was this thing. Here we are 2006 , 17 years later and this is the second time ive said this to anyone. Who would believe a puerto rican kid from brooklyn?

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

NO THIS WAS NOT A PLANET OR AN AIRPLNE OR ANYTHING THAT I WOULD RECOGNIZE. THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT I NEVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. I WAS GOING TO REPORT IT TO THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES BUT MY FAMILY TOLE TO JUST FORGET IT AND GO ON WITH MY LIFE OR GET ARRESTED.

Summary:

A ball of fire apearing to be the size of a soft ball moving slowly from west to east on the north end of the lake it seemed to be about 500 up feet from the water, moving at an estamated speed of 50 miles per hour

Nighttime

No. of Witnesses:

Duration: 

all together about 2 and a half minits

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

The object was round like a soft ball and seemed about the same size from the distance we were from it. it had the apearance of fire around it the flames like toungs licking up around the ball then shooting upward above it before fading out. It was about the same brightness as a camp fire and about the same colors with mostly orange, yellow and red.

Size of Object(s)

At first it apeared to be the size of a golf ball if held at arms lenth. the second time when it hovered above it apeared to be the size of a soft ball at arms lenth. I would guess from the fire and knowing how fast flames travel the actual size to be about 40 to 50 feet across and round.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Bear Lake is about one mile wide from north to south and is about 15 miles north of Orlando Florida. It was at that time mostly residental with some near by shopping centers about 2 miles away.

Full Description & Details

To start with I was sober and with 3 other people who were also sober or I would never have told anyone of this experance. We were living in a lake front house and often went out to the middle of the lake at any hour of day or night just to park and be romantic with my roommate Larry and his girl, and my now current wife Kristen. This night I noticed a strange light that apeared as a flaming ball, orange and red with flames licking upward then like toungs of fire vanishing over the ball. It was moving from west to east and was to the north of us , how far away we could only estamate by the upward speed of the flames. It apeared to be about 500 feet up traveling at about 50 miles per houre and aproxamatly 1000 feet from where we were parked in our 12 foot sears fishing boat.

After traveling about 1000 feet in a straight horazontal line the light went out. I tried to make sence of it thinking it must have been a helicopter with some kind of weard light on it, yet it made no sence that we could not hear it on such a calm and quiet night. It had to be close enough to hear as the light had lit up the shore line less than a half a mile away as well as the water between us and the shore.

We all wondered what we had seen then said oh well what ever it was it was sure strange.

After a minit or two we had changed the subject when from the eastern horizon the same ball of fire shot up from what apeared to be to be around the world at a incredible high rate of speed, then stoped instantly in the sky directly above our boat. It was hard to tell how far up it was hovering, we could see the flames moving up adn around the soft ball sized object, as though we could almost reach out and grab it yet it was out of reach.

I start jumping up and waving my arms at it and hollering here we are hello. My friend Larry soon joined me as the girls screamed and cried, beging us to stop it.

My thoughts were that the water was about 25 feet deep and I could swim to the bottom of the lake if it came after us and hold my breath as long as I could to avoid contact or abduction if need be. Fire and water don't mix was my reasoning and I would be safe there.

It stayed directly above us for what seemed to be a minit or two, lighting up the water all around us and the inside of the boat just like the same kind of light a camp fire would cast at 15 feet away. I was reaching up to try to grasp it just to make sure it was not with in reach.

It could have been no more than 500 feet or so above us it was hard to tell except for knowinf the speed that flames travel upward, as we could see the flames clearer than before.

After a period of time in the same place the object shot almost straight up and toward the south east leaving a streak of light or trail behind it and then disapeared among the stars getting smaller untill it was the size of a pin head before it disapeared, all in less than a hundredth of a second.

It went from still to what seemed to be the speed of light with out any transition or graduation in speed just instant acceleration like nothing I have ever seen.

The girls were pretty shaken up and wanted to go back to the house. I was also shaken but pretended not to be afraid and did not hesitate to start the motor and head for shore calling it a night.

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

Not a chance

I would have thought you were crazy if you told me you saw what I saw or you were fibbing. Now I beleve in some stories and am more open minded to accept the fact that there are other beings exploring the universe and even our planet on occasion, but still do not beleve all sightings to be true.

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.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

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.

Dusk/Evening

No. of Witnesses: 

myself and my dog

Duration: 

approx. total 35 seconds

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

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?

Possible blimp?
