Day/Night: 

Daytime

No. of Witnesses: 

1

Duration: 

30 minutes

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

3 spheres of colored light, red, blue and green. These spheres were linked by 3 bands of yellow light. The interior of the triangle was the same blue as the sky, so most likely hollow.

Size of Object(s)

Hard to tell, I couldn't really estimate my distance to them. However, if I held my hand out in front of me it would have concealed my view of the object.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Average sized town with population of 35,000+. Houses all around the area.

Full Description & Details

A triangle of lighted spheres. Blue, green and red, joined by bands of yellow light to form an equilateral triangle.

At the time I assumed it was some type of aircraft. However, older now with a lot more experience I think otherwise. I have never encountered anything like it since. Has anyone ever seen anything similar?

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

Maybe, I'm not sure. A kite with lights on it?

Date:

1947

Location:

crookston, Minnesota, United States

Summary:

I was in junior high but maybe senior high school and was caddying for a golfer when I saw it rather high on a clear day as I remember it so date could have been as early as 1946 and as late as 1949 0r even 1950.

Date Reported:

1/10/2006 9:00:43 AM

Sighting Time: 

daytime?

Day/Night: 

Daytime

No. of Witnesses: 

just me

Duration: 

minute or so

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

No lights. No noise. No vapor trail. Shape and color as mentioned above. If I held a quarter above my head that would give you approximate distance. So it was high, but not so high that I could see the definate rotation. Do not recall any markings on it. Just silver in color.

Size of Object(s)

I imagine my hand would have covered it if I held it up.Maybe and inch or two acrossfrom my position. Couldn`t guess at size as don`t know how high it was. Probably could have covered it with my hand if I raised my arm. Hard to tell actual size as was quite high but if I had to guess, maybe 30 feet or more wide? Again would have looked maybe about the size of a quarter if I held it at arms length.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

See above. Not nearly as high as a jet today.

Description of Area / Surroundings

golf course on edge of town. Crookston is about 8000 people.

Full Description & Details

We were walking south as was the direction of the saucer. It was silver in color and rotating. The shape I saw was like that of a quarter sitting on a table. I didn`t know the person I was caddying for and was too afraid to tell him to look as worried he wouldn`t see it and become angry at me for caddys were to be quiet and not bother golfer but just carry his clubs etc. I also would have been embarassed if he didn`t see it. Maybe there were a few clouds, I just can`t remember.

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

Don`t even know if I had heard of flying saucers at that time but it definately was not a "natural" object nor an airplane,satellite, blimb or balloon etc. It was a flying silver rotating disc.

Witness Background

College degree. Accountant and insurance agent. Retired.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Don`t remember anything about UFO`s before but have been following events on news and tv etc ever since. Just would like to know what it was.

The Next day at work, I went to down load pictures off the digital and remembered that I took one of a UFO. I blew it up to see if I could tell what it was, that's when I noticed that the top and bottom was the same color orange and the middle was a different color orange

I don't know if it can be explained. I don't know what it is, all I know is it is something.

Location:

london, United Kingdom

Summary:

Was very keen plane spotter at the time and saw object at around 3/4000ft just above cloud level , coming towards me, l stopped an older man in the street who was walking with the object at his back and pointed it out.

Date Reported:

1/10/2006 7:56:14 AM

Sighting Time: 

6.30 pm

Day/Night: 

Dusk/Evening

No. of Witnesses: 

Two

Duration: 

10-15 seconds

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Ok,if you can imagine around half the length of this box ,flat at the back but rounded at the front this would be close of the visual look.The object itself I can only describe as being some type of pure energy,if you put a whole mass of flashing disco type lights together each pulsating in a random manor this is the closest l can get to describe it and there was also a definite camouflage type pattern to all this.

Size of Object(s)

At the height it was flying and in relation to the cloud l would say around half the length of a 747 but about twice as wide.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

about 1 mile, 3/4000ft.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Over central London ,no highrise flats or anything to obscure vision.

Full Description & Details

As the object came closer and brighter it passed over a cloud and totally lit it up as if full of lightning.

The object was travelling in my estimation, at around 6/700mph ,low fast and totally silent.

Having lived on Heathrow approach most of my life l new this was no aircraft and the man with me was totally baffled.We watched it for between 10-15 seconds as it arrowed its way in a northeast direction it went behind another small cloud and disappeared from veiw.

It was flying to slow and to level to have been any kind of meteor /shooting star the flightpath

looked controlled.

This object will have been picked up on Heathrow radar and there could also have been a visual at Northolt.

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

None of these

Other Comments

This object was seen and reported by thousands of people in southeast England and also reported in the national press. I have been trying to find out for a long time what the experts think this was.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Beach

Full Description & Details

Me and my partner were at the beach, some day in November when I noticed heaps of what looked like cobwebs floating in the sky. I watch it for about 10mins until curiosity got the better of me. I waited until one flew by close enough to grab. I jumped up and grapped some of it in order to have a closer look. It was not sticky like cobwebs and the longer I held it the more it dissolved away.

We were facing NE (out to sea) with a light onshore breeze. The day was clear and about 25 degC no clouds. About 10-11am.

There was heaps of this stuff every where but no one seemed to really be fussed about it. I thought that it may be from a tree or something??

I didnt think much about it until recently when I came across information that speculated it was from a UFO..?? So I am here submiting my report hoping it will help me understand this substance further. I have read many other accounts here in Australia that mention this substance during the time of a UFO sighting. In hindsight I wish i had known what it was as I may have also seen a craft or something as well...???
