Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Egg shape bright aluminum in color

Size of Object(s)

I revisited the same site in the 1980's and estimated the object was about five hundred feet away and maybe up to 200 feet across.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

Maybe less than a 100 feet above the ground and about 500 feet away

Description of Area / Surroundings

On the extreme edge of very small town in Wyoming. Craft was probably 500 feet from nearest house (us). Nothing but dirt and sagebrush between us and craft

Full Description & Details

Myself (about 12 years old at the time) and two other boys about my age were sleeping out in the backyard of my grandmother's house on the edge of small town Reliance, Wyo. We had not yet gone to sleep and had been looking at the stars on a very clear summer night. We were talking and I looked up and saw a large egg-shapped bright aluminum-colored object just 'there' not moving and I now estimate it was several hundred feet long and about 500 feet away just above a slight rise of barren Wyoming landscape. We were too scared to move at the time and knew we had to get some adults to witness it but we seemed too scared to move. Suddenly we heard loud 'thumping' sounds and it began to rise straight up slowly ar first then much faster. We ran into the house where my grandmother was having a card party or some kind of gathering of ladies. We did not even take time to put on our pants over our underwear. We finally got some of the adults outside but by then it was just a small bright light still going up. They said it was just a meteor. A side note. I noticed a yellow light flickering from side to side coming from the middle of the egg shapped craft but the other two boys did not see it. I have a few other observations about after effects if anyone is interested.

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

Not anything known. Deffinately not a blimp or helicopter.

Witness Background

Was 12 year old boy at time. Am now 69 and have been around aviation most of my life including four years in Air Force. Never saw anything like that

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Very bright "white only" color. I saw no other colors. It was round and approximately 25 feet wide. It was absolutely quiet and extremely fast. Three blocks in about five to ten seconds. Stopping completely in an instant with no shaking. It would zig, then stop, then zag, then stop, then zig, etc.

Size of Object(s)

If I put my hands out in front of me, I would seperate my hands apart by about eight inches to get the width of it. The distance would be from my front porch to the other side of a two lane highway above the mature trees. I would estimate it was 100 feet away from me.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Rural small town. Population 1500. Along and above old highway 40 through town. City park across street (which comprises an entire block area). Our house was across the street, mid-way in the block. No military except for Salina or Fort Riley Kansas. Solomon was a very quiet town.

Full Description & Details

I sometimes slept out on the front porch of our house, on the porch swing, as a child growing up in Solomon, Kansas. Our big two story house faced south and along old highway 40. Old highway 40 runs through Solomon. The city park was located across the street and there were many mature trees there.

One summer (I believe in August) night at approximately 11:00pm I was getting ready to lay down on the porch swing to go to bed. I remember the time because my mother was still up and we normally go to bed at 10:00pm. The sky was clear and I could see many stars. I then noticed a bright light coming from the west, just above the treeline along highway 40 and traveling (extremely fast) alongside the highway opposite of our house. It would stop instantly about three or four times as it zig zagged somewhat as it headed eastward for a total of two or three blocks. I only observed it for about five to ten seconds during a three to four block length.

I immediately headed for the front porch steps and when I reached the steps, I stopped, looked at it and at that instant, the bright light suddenly stopped directly in front of me, across the street, at the tree top level. It then changed its overall direction and flew directly over our house going north. That was the last time I saw the light.

I felt that at the moment I stopped and looked at it, it stopped and changed course on me. It was really weird at that moment. It was like they saw me too and changed what it was doing.

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

Absolutely not. Absolutely no noise. Clear summer night. No spotlights. It stopped instantly and changed course instantly. One bright color. No smell. No couds. Traveling HORIZONTALLY.

Full Description & Details

My family owns a farm. Ive lived there on and off. The last time I lived there was in November of last year. I was actually packing and leaving but still had the majority of my things there.

It was about 10:00 pm and everyone had left. I drove my jeep over to my sisters. I had to tell her something, or give her something, I dont remember........I got back in my car and turned it around to go back to where the horses a stabled about 1/8 a mile. When I was crossing the pasture, I saw what appear to be a helicopters light in the tree line ( I cant tell you how big as I have never been able to judge the size or height of aircraft etc.) I can tell you that the objects light, or what I thought was the light was filling the area of about 15 45year old trees a mile away. So... large. The Ball of light was headed toward me and I thought helicopter. Only there was no sound and the light was to big and to close to not have a sound attached. I stopped my jeep and got out. Kinda like the movies I didnt even think about what it was, I just thought turn off the jeep. get out listen figure it out, its got to be nothing. It settled into the tree line and then disappears. A huge ball of light just disappears into the trees...????/??

Ok, so Im scared as hell and get back into my jeep. I go back to my sisters,I walk into her house and Im like OMG, I just say a huge light in the trees. She's tired she dismisses it. She says maybe someone got a helicopter. I say yeah....... I dont really want to leave but I had to get some sleep. I drive across and realize just how big, and think about how quiet it was, I settle on No Way. And just hope its a one time deal. Or even better Im mistaken.

Fast forward. 4 days.Once again everyone is gone. Im talking about going from 20 people there, to just me, Im tired. not thinking about the light, First time in 3nights Im not looking directly at the sky searching.I have my German Shepard, and my small dog on leashes. I walk them out the barn and glance up a the sky but not in the searching way, just the aware of the sky way.... I see a light in the distance, but just a plane....(right?) . Im tired want my dogs to poo and want to go to bed. I have a couple of curious horses to my right, Im facing the West treeline(.Last time I was facing South.)I look up and what I thought was a plane, has no noise and no correct lights, nothing blinking green or red and definately not a plane . Its the ball of light again!!!! Crap. Only this time the light doesnt come as close but again settles into the tree line, but before it disappears. Explodes into a white light that lights up the entire tree line. I know what I saw because when it explodes the horse jump and run,4 of them at once. No sound. The light is that bright! All the animals on the farm have a weird feeling, kinda the same as me. Just like what the......???????? I go inside.

I tell my sister she was wrong about the helicopter. I ask her if a transformer blows up if it makes a noise. She says yes. I say well there was nothing. And the scarey part of this whole story is that I read nothing anywhere about anyone else seeing this, I thought for sure that there would be something in the paper the next morning....but nothing.

Fast forward again, about 2 weeks. It is 8;15 at night, and Im sure of it because Im talking to a girl on a horse, and Im in the areana, my sister is in front of me when I turn to look at her with her background being Southwest.All of a sudden The light is in the sky coming down and when I notice it and say OH my God, before the girl on the horse or my sister can turn around and look up it has like bounced in the sky and disapeared to the South. I had witnesses, and neither of them saw a thing. They both kept asking me what? and I was so upset that they had missed it ........I mean I sounded like I was insane.

I havent seen anything since. I look for it. But somehow I think it will only pop up when Im not expecting it....I know that sounds weird. But everytime I had seen it I wasnt waiting for it?

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

no not at all, I wish!

Witness Background

Riding instructor, I work on a busy farm with tons of horses.

UFO Encounter Romeoville Illinois October 22, 2011

An account of happenings as it was experienced by Sharon Bick

Timeline between 1745 - 1930

I was driving home to Joliet on I-355 from Chicago about a mile north from the ramp for I-55 South I noticed a red glowing laser like orb up ahead that I thought may be on a tower but as I got closer it was hovering directly over my lane on the expressway about maybe 50 feet in the air and as I passed it I had to hang my head out the window to look up and get a better look at it but all I saw was a bright red light like that of a laser it was almost hard to look at and appeared as though it was somewhat transparent.



I was going to turn around hoping it was still there to get a picture but as I merged onto I-55 south I noticed three star like craft in a triangle formation in the distance. I continued to drive and exited the Bolingbrook ramp in hopes to find a quiet area to take pictures but there was too much traffic in the area and no place to really situate myself so I got back onto I-55 and I noticed now there were only two in a side by side formation and the 3rd one traveled somewhat south of the other two. I continued to notice an excessive amount of air traffic in the area and thought that to be very odd for that time of day. I exited at Weber Road and I drove about 1/2 mile and pulled into a subdivision and noticed some people standing on the corner so I figured I would find another spot to take pictures. All the while I was noticing several ufos that resembled bright stars or planet such as Jupiter and they probably would have gotten away with that if I didn’t notice that aside from being able to hover they can change colors and fly too it seemed as though this area of Romeoville was the hot spot for some odd unexplainable activity in the sky.



I pulled out of the subdivision and back onto Weber Road I quickly saw a mini mall to the right north of Airport Rd. I pulled into the back of the lot but right before I turned I noticed, and it only lasted a split second I saw what resembled a falling star but then I thought no it can't be. Not that close, so the next thing I can compare it to is when a firework hot ash comes down from the sky but goes out before touching the ground. This happened only about 20 feet in front of my vehicle, very strange. What else is very strange was my reaction which was oh…..wow, and nothing more.



I feel at that moment something with that “falling star” prepared me for what I was to experience next. I pulled in behind a mini-mall Aldis to be exact and then things start to happen. I witnessed a craft in the sky another one of those starlike looking things. It moves forward directly toward me which kinda scared me a bit thinking it saw me and was coming to beam me up into the spacecraft but it was high in the sky and about ½ mile up maybe, I’m guessing here. From that moment it begins to hover and change colors turning blue, purple, red, blue, purple, red then things get a little fuzzy, I think I see another craft descend or it may have already been on the ground. It rises up and then back down behind a subdivision across Airport Road which would be south of where I was. It seems to almost dance up and down side to side in between and behind the houses. It looked like a mass of light blue red and white that formed the object. I was shocked and amazed at what I was seeing and immediately headed south out of the parking lot and west down Airport Road about a mile till I reached the subdivision and then headed south turning into the subdivision all while trying to keep my eyes on this object so I didn’t lose it. This is NOT my character, I do NOT go out chasing the unknown especially setting out alone by myself to do so. That is why I believe that “falling star” had something to do with changing my mind set. I was more struck with awe and amazement than fear. When I pulled into the subdivision on Ritchfield Trail activity seemed to stop I made a right down Fiddyment Drive and drove about 3 houses down and when I peered between two houses on my left I seen the craft raise up just enough that I was able to see it. I felt like I was frozen paralyzed. I could only sit there with my mouth hanging open. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. It was unreal, nothing I have ever experienced before It seemed almost like a hologram. The colors it displayed were like that of a laser and somewhat transparent. It was large maybe about 15X15 and gave off no residual light. Everything remained dark around it. It didn’t reflect of the houses but the light was so bright I again almost had to look away. It was hard to look at just like the red orb on the highway earlier. The object looked like the shape of a lopsided letter v. It had a blue arm and a shorter red arm, and I think I saw some white, I can’t be sure, but as fast as I saw it, it was gone. It just disappeared. Now if there was any part of this experience when I could have possibly lost time, blacked out, or somehow my thoughts been manipulated it would have been during this encounter, because quite honestly I think they may have attempted to do something to my memory to make me forget this encounter because it’s the one part that is not very clear in my memory like everything else is.



I am almost positive that whoever or whatever was responsible for this knew I was there and I felt I saw something I wasn’t supposed to and it was not intended for me to see this. At that point I started to feel quite uneasy. I turned my car around in the direction so if I had to make a quick and speedy get away all I had to do was floor it. I soon reclaimed my bravery and decided to sit there and see if anything else happened. I hear a steady hum and as I looked up into the sky I notice is a low flying diamond shaped craft flying overhead west to east. It was low enough that I could tell this was not an airplane. The bottom side had no lights it was dark grey in color and had markings on it also, the top of the craft had parts that were of a reddish orange color that I could see but still not identifiable as airplane parts. The top side of the craft appeared to be lit up.



For some reason, and again out of my character I decided to investigate back behind the subdivision where I saw the object on the ground previously so I drove down Ritchfield Trail south back behind the subdivision to see if I could see anything. It was dark with a large field on one side and houses on the other. I didn’t get far as fear of being watched took over so I turned back. I continued to stay in the area about another 15 minutes observing the odd craft in the sky.

As I drove home I noticed some craft in the sky which seemed to be following me back to Joliet. Again I pulled into the parking lot of Southern Belle Restaurant . As I parked I noticed an small orange orb about 30 feet in the air about 60 feet from me on the north east end of the parking lot. I didn’t think much of it for a split second and then it registered that that was out of the ordinary and when I looked back at it the orb had vanished. When I looked up in the sky the craft had went in another direction. I just can’t rationalize any of what I experienced that night. Suddenly this fear of them following me and apparently wanting something to do with me took over I called my son, ex-husband, both of my daughters but no one would answer. Finally my daughter called me. I told her to come over but she said she had a paper to do so I went to her house but did not say why over the phone. I figured if they can keep track of me on the ground they surely will track my phone and conversations. When arrived at her house I showed my pictures and video to her and her boyfriend and I’m not sure whether they believed me or not but I needed to tell someone and get it off my chest. When I got home I immediately went online to the MUFON site to write a report my experience. I also had my cell-phone next to me in the living room where I always get a good signal. At about 10:25 pm I happened to look at my phone and noticed a voicemail message was sent to my phone at 10:22. My phone normally displays the number that called even if it goes to voicemail. This time it did not so I had no clue as to who or where the call came from. I called my voicemail and all the message had on was the sound of some muffled voices and the humming sound of something completing a circuit. I wonder if they were checking to see who I have talked to, or have they now tapped my phone?

Romeoville UFOs 10/23/2011

An account of happenings as it was experienced by Sharon Bick

I tried to get to sleep but I only got about 2 hours and I was up at 0430. I couldn’t stop thinking about what had happened to me just hours ago.

1130 I decided to go back to the subdivision and see if there were any remnants from the night before that I could identify with. I pulled into the Lakewood Falls subdivision and drove down Ritchfield Trail to the end of the field on my left. I got out of my vehicle to walk the outside perimeter on the north side. I didn’t see anything unusual till I got up to the end of it near the playground. I noticed some of the grasses on the perimeter was pushed down and a darker color than the rest of the brush and it had the shape of the thing I saw the previous night shaped like a lopsided V. I took some pictures and walked back to my vehicle. I then drove over to Fiddyment Drive where I had witnessed the thing the night before between the two houses. I happened to see a man outside the front of his house and for the risk of looking like a complete nut case I decided to see if he could give me any more information. I approached him and introduced myself. I started to tell him that I had been in the area last night and had seen some interesting activity. He immediately interrupted me with “Are you talking about the” blue light” in the sky?” I was speechless. He went on to tell me that the “blue light” in the sky is a common occurrence and has been happening just about every weekend for the past year and a half. He said it hovers about maybe 2 blocks southwest of his house and it changes colors blue, purple, red, orange and looks to be about maybe 100 feet in the air. I asked him why he or anyone else hadn’t reported this. He said that he really didn’t think much of it and actually thought it might be a remote control type toy someone had because it’s usually only seen between 1900 and 2100. In addition to that there is also the airport east of his home, but to the best of my knowledge we currently don’t have anything flying the friendly skies that resemble anything I had been seeing over the course of the past two days. He said last night he came into his kitchen to get his kids a snack and he looked out the window and saw the” blue light” in the sky. He said he even called the kids down from their room and told them” Guess what k ids the UFO is back.” They to peered out the window to look at it and that was it no real reaction to it according to him. I found their reaction to be very odd to me. Who in their right mind is going to see some mysterious blue light that changes colors for a year and a half and it doesn’t raise any suspicions, doesn’t talk to the neighbors to get their take on it? I mean seriously???? I explained to him that there was much more going on in the area besides that “blue light”. I told him what I saw and my feelings on the whole experience. I let him listen to the voicemail recording that I received last night. He said it sounded strange like something that was oscillating, some sort of frequency of some sort maybe. I gave him my number and asked him to stay in touch in regards to the “blue light” or if he notices anything else unusual. He said now that he has spoken with me he will definitely call me and put the camcorder on a tripod on his back deck next weekend and try to get it recorded.

1730 I leave my home in Joliet to go back to Romeoville to try and capture more pictures and video. I tried to give myself enough time to be able to go to Target to pick up a tripod. When I got to Romeoville it was about 1750 and I pulled into Starbucks to get a cup of coffee before I go to Target. I placed my order at the drive thru only to realize I left my house and walked out the door without my purse, money, and phone. Let me just say here, I have NEVER in my life done that. My thought was hmmmmm…was I manipulated in some way that caused me to forget and leave my belongings at home on the kitchen table to stall my arrival? I raced home to get my purse and other stuff and then back to Romeoville. I think I was back by 1825. I ran into Target got my tripod and coffee from the Starbucks inside the store and no sooner did I get in my car to start heading to the same location from last night there they were. First I seen one bright starlike craft hovering west of Target then it disappears then another appears just north of the first one then I look around and more are slowly coming into view from all directions. I proceeded across Weber Road westbound on airport road and turned into the parking lot behind Aldis. I immediately changed my mind and drove further down Airport Road into the subdivision and down Ritchfield Trail. I parked on the furthest end of the field south of the subdivision. I turned my vehicle off and waited. I took pictures and some video of some of the craft flying overhead but unfortunately being by myself and it being pitch back outside I didn’t feel comfortable getting out of my vehicle and setting up the tripod. I certainly had the feeling I was being observed on several occasions that night. There were these strange lights or I should say they appeared to be lights located in the field from what I can tell. I watched them as they would dim or totally go out when a vehicle or someone was passing by just like the craft in the sky. Some of the craft you would see this bright blinding light as bright as the brightest star you have ever seen ad then when they would get over a busy area they would dim out and you would see a green light on one side of the craft and red on the other. It was difficult to make out the outline of the craft and if they passed low enough you could hear a slight humming noise that sounded like a fan but even though they were flying somewhat low you still could not identify the body of the craft. These craft are smart! They know when they are being observed and the exact distance they need to be so as not to be identified. It also seemed that they moved their operations a little further west of where I was. There was no significant activity to speak of in the subdivision. No blue hovering lights just craft mostly flying from east to west. This activity was consistent the whole 2 hours that I remained in the area. At one point I decided to drive a little further down the street and I saw a couple walking down the sidewalk. I stopped then and asked if they noticed anything unusual in the sky lately and the looked at me like I had a screw loose. The man said “Well there is the airport east of here you know.” I told him if the craft that I’m seeing is coming out of that airport then I want to be the first to buy a ticket for a ride on one of those blue lights that hang around here. He said he never noticed any blue lights. They kept walking and I checked myself to insure I didn’t go stopping anymore random people out for their evening stroll and risk being questioned by police or worse be abducted and disappearing never to be seen again for opening my big mouth. I really was surprised by the few residents I did talk to and their reactions that I had gotten. It’s like Stepford, Connecticut where the Stepford wives lived, remember the movie where all the women were mindless docile robots? Well welcome to Romeoville Illinois! Could these people be under some sort of…..call me crazy but, mind control of some sort??? I sat in my vehicle a little while longer in the dark next to the open field watching the craft fly in and out east and west. Tonight there were some craft that looked like a triangle that was capable of moving quite fast through the sky. They were completely illuminated on the underside and I could see a green and white light. Unfortunately they were flying at an elevation that made their shape or any identifiable markings unattainable. I noticed at one time a flash of bright light behind me and as I turned to my right I could see someone’s yard that backs up to the field illuminated form the sky but this was for maybe 2 seconds and then it was gone. I didn’t see any craft that could have shone that light so I really have no idea where it came from or why. I continued to observe those lights across the open field as they would be as bright as the craft I would see flying through the sky and then dim or go out. I really think this is some sort of monitoring being conducted and it wasn’t the only place I have seen them. I think whoever is behind all this they have technology that allows them to blend in, morph, or match their surroundings so if you were two feet in front of them you wouldn’t know it. I know, I know, crazy stuff but that is my theory based on what I have witnessed.

I seen some craft hovering just southwest of my location so I went to investigate. I drove west down Airport Road and the headed south down South Michael Drive to Helen Drive. When I arrived at the T in the road I noticed a small clearing just to my left across Helen Drive and saw a light that seemed to be suspended in the middle of the clearing. I looked at it and mumbled I see you and continued west down Helen Drive. I arrived at a dead end, a corn field and saw several craft just hovering it seemed over the corn field. I began to get that dreaded your being watched feeling and decided to leave the area. As I approached South Michael Drive I looked in the direction of the light in the field and wouldn’t ya know it, it moved a little higher maybe 4 feet up. I couldn’t get out of there fast enough!

I decided to head home when I arrived I told my 19 year old son about what I saw and he said take me to go see these UFOs. So we hopped in the car and I didn’t get 5 blocks from my house and we started to see several craft in the area over Joliet. The triangle ones the ones that are starlike small craft that had a little red light on them just flying randomly in the area. When we got home my son declared “Get out the telescope! I’m camping out in the backyard tonight!” My son is now convinced as I am there is more to this story than we know.

UFO Sightings over Romeoville and Joliet 10/24/2011

An account of happenings by Sharon E Bick

Ugh, this is getting to be almost too much for me. I’m beginning to feel that I am drawn to go out and document these strange crafts. Me and my son went out tonight and was witness to some more UFO activity over Joliet and Romeoville. It's just getting ridiculous, I mean they are everywhere. I don't get it, I'm the only one who sees these for what they are. The first part of this evening about 1930 tonight I was driving in my vehicle by myself at the corner of Ingalls and Larkin there is a Walgreens. Well one of these craft was just hovering over it right on the corner with a lot of traffic and the Walgreens had quite a few customers parked in their lot. I don't know how high it was in the air but close enough that I knew could easily see the detail of the craft if I got under it I would get a great picture. From the past experience with these they seem to be able to know my thoughts or geeze I don't know....they just know what I'm going to do before I do it. They are not stupid by any means. They have some sort of tracking or alert system in place to keep them from being identified along with the fact that they can morph and Disappear at will, your just not gonna win. So as I approach this thing in my vehicle I just kept saying to myself I don't see you and I didn't look at it thinking I’m gonna out smart it and as I past under it and scrambled to get my camera phone I turned my vehicle into the Walgreens parking lot looked up and around and it was gone then I looked down again and looked up and it was there again but it was flying away. These craft were everywhere I called my ex-husband to come meet me on the corner of Black Road and Larkin in Joliet to see this because they were just everywhere in the sky but my thought was watch, by the time he gets here they'll be gone and sure enough in probably less than 5 minutes he shows up and not a craft in the sky. My son called me and asked if I wanted to go look for UFOs so I met him at Menards on Weber Road in Crest Hill. We took some video of some craft flying overhead and then drove to the area in Romeoville where we drove to Romeoville and drove down Budler Road south till we got to a dead end and couldn’t go any further. We could see a large open field in front of us. We noticed many of these craft in the sky all around us so I turned off my lights and the radio and waited. As we sat there in amazement, we watched probably 60 of them and get this, fly over this open field at various elevations, they would very quickly slow down till they came to a stop. What happened next was unexplainable. These craft just hung there in mid air, dimmed their lights till they looked like a faint star in the sky and just stayed there suspended. We left after about 45 minutes of watching this. Just one after another like it was not going stop. We really expected a mother ship of some sort to come and scoop them all up and take them away but for the time we were there it didn’t happen. This is just crazy. Something is definitely going on around here. I don't know what but my son who is a sane 19 year old says it seems as though they are patrolling the area. For what???!!! After we came home we noticed they were flying over our house at a high elevation going east opposed to last night when we watched them from home they were heading south. Last evening I heard something that sounded like aircraft and I looked out my foyer window at about 2430 and I see a red orb twice in about 1 minutes time pass very quickly by my neighbors houses across the street from me. I'm getting seriously concerned and I almost want to move. I just feel something is going to happen. I'm telling you anyone can come out here any night of the week between 1830 and 2200 and see something in the sky over Romeoville and Joliet. It seems to be different craft each night too except for these low flying little ones with a red and white light. Seems as though maybe they are a look out of some kind for the larger craft. I just wish someone had an answer and quick because this is really starting to get to me. We need answers here in Illinois and quick! Something very serious is going on for all this air traffic to be in one spot. I feel I am flagged and they know exactly where I am, where I’m going, who I’m with, and whom I’m talking to. I know this sounds nuts but I’m not gonna be the one who regrets giving the population here a heads up on what I don’t know but you can try and decipher that answer.

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

NO

I have always been interested in the unknown and specifically UFOs. I have from time to time seen odd objects in the sky nothing extraordinary but none the less. I never put too much thought into it. My experience this past weekend has definitely taken any doubt whatsoever out of my mind. I wrote this detailed account so I would not forget any details while they are still fresh in my mind. I have not submitted this to anyone except MUFON and they say they will investigate. I am very concerned that this is not something we need to over look. After 3 days of this I am exhausted. I just want answers, but I am afraid once this gets out and publicized all activity that I have been witnessing will cease. I believe the government to be involved in this because each time I have driven home after a sighting I noticed a craft seem to follow me home, my son witnessed this also. I somewhat concerned for my safety and do not want to become anykind of target.

well it was shaped like an american football or a rugby ball, it was a shiney color like metal like a polished metal very bright when the sun reflected of it,it had squareish black windows at the top of it, and below it had some portholes round shaped i don't no how many portholes there was,it was also quiet you couldn't hearit at all...

Size of Object(s)

well wee were about 100 feet from it maybe more maybe less,so if i had to measure it with my fingers it would be about 3 or 4 inches with my arms stretched out,now to try and work out the size of it this is hard maybe 20 or 30 feet this is a tuffy one chaps i think...

Description of Area / Surroundings

it was an old railway line with trees on both sides of it you could say that it was out on the country because springside is a small vilage and its surrounding area was just fields and some farms,there were no military bases or power plants nothing like that ....

Full Description & Details

my name is scott mc nelis and this is what wee all saw with our eyes,.... whare do i begin it was that long ago,well the year was 1979 i was 10 years old it was a saturday i really don't no the date,saturday was a special day because our family got together on that day wee all met at our grandmother and grandfathers house in springside

just for a get together,i really loved saturdays because my grand father would take us out for a walk down the old railway line it was an abandoned railway,anyway there was me mysefl scott, and my big brother tommy, and my big cousin kenny, and my grandfather we set out our walk down the old railway line, wee walked for just over 10 minutes when wee saw this object in the sky wee stopped and staired at it, the best way i can describe it was, it was like an american football or a rugby ball disc shaped it was a shiney metal color like as if it was polished because you could see the sun reflecting of it, it also had like kind of square windows these were blacked out as if they were coloured black and also there were round like portholes round it aswell just below the windows, i couldn't see any lights on it, it was so silent you could not hear a sound nothing at all it was weird all you could hear was birds chirping whare wee were it is so quite it was like being out in the country so quiet,anyway al try and described to yous how high it was im not that really good with measurements but i reckon it was roughly about 300 to 400 feet i think, it was so low you could make out what it was no problem, it was no plane or helicopter it was definatley a disc shaped object,the speed it was doing was very slow my calculation is that it was doing about 20mph that slow it just hovered by us, wee were about 100 feet from it on the ground after about 30 seconds or more wee got really frightened so wee ran a wee bit into the side os trees that were on both sides of us wee just sat there and watched it hovering away from us,wee watched it going away from us in the distance, till it eventually just faded away into the distance.ive described this to the best of my knowledge and swear on my childrens life that what wee saw was real and there

it was a ufo i wish wee had a camera with us on that day but a camera in that day was a luxury to us,thats why now im a beleiver ive saw it with my own eyes very young though and frightning,you's guys and girls can think what you like but im telling the truth in gods name...

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

it wasn't no plane or helicopter or blimp, birds,planets,or anything like that, this thing was not manmade either, this object was so real unbeleivable it was a ufo flying saucer if you like wee no what wee saw i no its hard to beleive but its the gods truth...

i saw two blue lights, an orange light, green, red, and head lights, when it came through the trees it was directly over my house, the entire bottom of this thing was eluminated. i could clearly see the entire thing it looked almost like an airplane but more triangluar and the wings were in a very odd location

Size of Object(s)

no idea how large it was but it was as large or larger then a average commerical airplane

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

it was not to far over the trees because i heard and saw the wind moving the tree tops in my yard

Description of Area / Surroundings

i was in my back yard i live in manchester, ct. i live about 18miles from bradley international airport which i grew up right next to so im use to planes flying directly over my house as they land and take off and this thing was low enough were if it was landing it would of landed in manchester or south windsor which means it would of crashed as there is no where to land in those areas.

Full Description & Details

I was sitting outside in my backyard at a small fire when i heard alost the sound of a airplane but it also had the sound of a dying jet engine. i saw lights coming thro the trees in the distant.. this was not the normal sound of an airplane or lights on a normal airplane i grew up with bradley international airpost as my backyard so i know an airplane when i see one regardless of time of day.. anyway .. i saw two blue lights, an orange light, green, red, and head lights, when it came through the trees it was directly over my house, the entire bottom of this things was eluminated i could clearly see the entire thing it looked almost like an airplane but more triangluar and the wings were in a very odd location. i dont really believe in ufo/alien things but this completely freaked me out. i went inside after this and sat down in livingroom with my girlfriend and told her i just saw something that freaked me out. she said what that loud plane i said yes but that was not a plane, planes dont have those colors it was way to low to b landing at any of the nearby airports it would of crashed it was so low. it was a large object too. i have no idea wat it was but i am more than sure it was not an airplane or anything of that sort unless the military has something secretive going on it was def of foreign being. this happened around 830pm on a sunday. the next morning i heard that a small airplane lost touch with towers around 815 and crashed in Danbury CT, but this was no way what i saw it was to large and danbury is way to far from me to have that plane b the one that i saw. Later that day I went to my aunts house in East Windsor, CT where i told her of what happened and she believed me as well as my uncle, they told me of how they have seen a few times a few right blue lights and an orange light, not near bradley airport just sitting still in part of the sky which didnt make sense due to where they were seeing the lights. has anyone else in manchester CT area seen or heard what i am talking about?!?!

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

it was no kind of airplane unless it was a secretative military object. i grew up right next to an airport and i come from a military family and i was at one time going to the air force, i know it was def not anything like that. this was something i can not explain and im having a hard time wrapping my head around it ... was not a blimp or weather ballon or anything of that sort. not a helicopter i have been around helicopters and i have flown in chopers .. i have no idea what this was it reminded me of the v shaped stealth plane the military has but much larger and it had wings like an airplane but not in the normal area also no tail wing.

Witness Background

I am an EMT and emergency dispatcher. I also have been a security supervisor.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Full Description & Details

When I was a teenager my best friends parents owned a resteraunt/motel on lakeshore road in toronto the lake in the back of the hotel. There was a long strip of land that went out into the lake. We used to hang out there quite often. One day we both saw a round object fly over us and disappeared into the lake. There was no sound and no splash on entry to the lake. My friend and I just looked at each other never said a word but ran like hell back to the motel. We never spoke of it to anyone and never even talked to each other about it. Next day i noticed that i had two small round marks on on each of my shins almost in the identical spot. I was a teenager then i am now 57 and still carry the marks.

150 to 200 feet away. 100 feet in the air

Description of Area / Surroundings

Urban area that borders on the rural area. It came down and hovered over high powered electrical lines.

Full Description & Details

On a winter night, while driving one of my friends home, bright lights caught my attention out of the passenger window. I told my friend that was driving to pull ahead to the end of the road. He cut the engine and coasted to the end of the road with the lights off. These lights came down at us from a few miles in the sky at about a 45 degree angle. As it approached it had bright multi-colored lights rotating around the middle. I would estimate it was 100 feet wide. It also had spot lights on the underside that slowly scanned beneath it. It hovered over some high power electrical lines that run behind the houses at the end of the road. I remember saying over and over "What the hell is that? What the hell is that?". The trees below were bending over from the down draft, they were 60 to 80 foot tall. There was no sound at all. We sat and watched this for about one or two minutes. Then I noticed that one of the spot lights rotated and shinned directly at us, this lasted a few seconds. I felt like it had realized that we were watching it. The craft then lifted directly straight up and accelerated at a 45 degree angle at a unbelievable rate of speed toward the South East. I never took my eye off of it. It was a small blinking light in a second or two. My friend started the car and tried to follow it, we jumped on the highway and drove on toward Lansing until we got by the Airport. The wierdest thing of all is that we never talked about it until at least a few weeks later we were sitting around and it came to me what had happened. I started to ask my friends if they remembered this encounter and they took turns describing it exactly as I remembered it. My hair stood on end has they described it to my other friends who were hanging out with us that day. I could tell that the guys who were not with us did not believe what we were saying is true.

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

Absolutely not from this planet!!

cornfields, grassy fields with preston highway going through the middle

Full Description & Details

I just talked to my father to tell me this story fresh again. He stated that him and one of his co-workers where heading to work early in the morning it was still dark out and they both saw a glowing circular light about the size of a beachball come over a hill from the 9 oclock position flying with the contours of the ground moving very very fast it flew in front of their truck and away to the 3 oclock position and up and over another hill out of sight just like that it was gone he said it happened in just a second. the main thing that stuck out to him was the speed and how it flew with the contour of the earth over small rises and such staying a steady height off the ground then approximately a week later there was a story in the courier journal our local newspaper (feb. 27 1993) about a police helicopter that had an encounter with a basketball sized object when the chopper gave chase the object shot 3 fireballs at them they banked away from said fireballs and when they circled back around it was gone. My father grew up in this area and used to roam the corn fields that the thing flew over and he said it had to have covered the distance of a couple of miles in just a couple of seconds.

This is just a conformation of something my father had suspected but never saw for himself, but when he saw it he was on his way to work and it was a total surprise.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

I only saw the front side of it, it appeared saucer shaped, and quite large. There were lights on the outermost part on the underside. The lights were dim, I believe they were more than one color, and were in the shape of a square or rectangle.

Size of Object(s)

I would say this craft was about 100 feet wide, if not larger.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Rural, tree lined road. Only occasional street lights, but was very dark in this stretch of road. The dusk sky was still illuminating along with the stars in the backround. Not sure if there was any light from the moon. The main source of light was coming from the craft.

Full Description & Details

I grew up in Bethel CT and was 17 at the time of the sighting during the summer of 1982. There were actually 2 different occasions within the same 2-3 mile radius that occurred that summer which I will never forget. Like most people who have witnessed a UFO, I have kept it to myself for the most part, not wanting to share what I saw for fear that people might think I'm crazy or lying.

I cannot remember which happened first - the sighting or another strange phenomenon I witnessed (along with my boyfriend) but I will describe both, starting with the UFO sighting.

My boyfriend lived in Newtown CT and we were in separate cars driving to my house in Bethel, CT on a summer evening, probably between 9-11 pm. He was following behind me. It was a clear night and I had my window rolled down. Something in the sky caught my eye from my left side car window. When I looked up, I saw the faint outline of what appeared to be the front part of a saucer shaped UFO. It had the dim lights on the underside which helped to outline the form of it. I remember they looked more square shaped and fairly large, different from a round shaped light that might come from an airplane. It was not moving, which was the most alarming thing about what I was seeing It was quite large. I was still driving but slowed down considerably as I would look at the road and then look up at it. Hoping my boyfriend would see it, I reached my arm out of the window, pointing up to it as I was hitting my brakes. He backed off so I wasn't sure if he saw it. After that when I looked up I no could no longer see it. It could be that I had driven too far past it, or it could have moved. I felt at the time it was because I had driven past it.

I was too afraid to stop. When we arrived at my house I immediately asked my boyfriend if he saw what I was pointing at. He said no. I told him I thought I saw a UFO and was trying to get him to look up. He said when he saw my car swerving all over the road he backed off. I was very disappointed that he didn't see it and knew at that point there was no sense getting into what I saw with him. I dropped it shortly after.

Another incident that happened that summer was just as strange. My boyfriend and I were parked in a car in the same area on the border of those 2 towns. After being parked for about 1/2 hour, I started my car and drove out to the main road. While I was driving on Route 302, the same road where I saw the UFO, I was seeing large particles bouncing off of the pavement like hail. It was a clear night, around the same time, between 9-11 pm, and it was again warm. There was no precipitation coming from the sky. It was more like the particles where already on the ground bouncing, as opposed to dropping from the sky. They were about the size of small hail and and silvery white in color. I decided to ask my boyfriend if he saw what I saw, and he responded 'yes, what is that?' I asked him to describe it just to be sure he wasn't going to trick me or pretending to know what I was talking about. When he described it, I knew I wasn't seeing things. We were driving though it hoping it would end because there was no rational explanation for it and we were very confused. After about a mile or so it faded out and stopped.

Strangely we never brought it up to one another ever again after that . We broke up a couple of months after, but I doubt he has forgotten about it after all of these years.

I've always had very good eyesight and feel as though these sightings were tangible and real. My fear at the time prevented me from stopping to further experience what I was seeing. Even though I still feel the same since the incidents there are a couple of things that I have thought may or may not have any bearing or relation to these events. The first is - about 2 years later, I became very sick with an illness that I have never fully recovered from. Another is I have a heightened sense of awareness around things involving my safety. Intuitive things that have saved me from things like break-ins to my house. I also find that sometimes people places or things pop into my mind that I haven't thought about in quite some time, then I soon come into some kind of contact with them not long after. Don't know if these things have an relation to what I saw/experienced, but who knows.

I would be very interested in hearing or reading about other sightings from people in the area that summer.

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

Because it was hovering so low and not moving, it was a very alarming sight. It looked very smooth, round and flat from the underside. I can't imagine it was anything man-made that I have ever seen.

Witness Background

I was 17 at the time, a high school student. I graduated high school and went on to college. Have been self employed for many years.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I have never been interested in the topic before or after. I realized after the sighting that it was something I would not be able to share with anyone. I may have discussed it with a handful of people in an offhand way since it happened. My ex-boyfriend did witness the hail-like sighting, so i would be interested in talking to him to see if he remembers the incident. Being as young as we were we probably didn't feel as if there was anything we could do with the information.

Other Comments

Not sure where this info is going. I'm hesitant to give too much info about myself until I know what you are doing with the info. I thought I would share it to let other people who may have seen the same UFO during that time, that they are not alone.
