Date:

March, 17, 1994

Location:

chicago, Illinois, United States

Summary:

i saw an UFO close to my home. I have a witness who can verify this as well for he was older than myself. It was a cool and clear night, and the moon was full. What was strange was that the UFO round and flying by the moon.

Date Reported:

1/10/2006 2:07:37 AM

Sighting Time: 

10:00 p.m.

Day/Night: 

Nighttime

No. of Witnesses: 

2

Duration: 

5 to 10 minutes

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

It was big, round, lighly yellow, as wide as a full moon would appear, slow.

Size of Object(s)

it was probaly three to four inches wide and a perfect circle. It didn't look like a movie type UFO but like another moon.

Description of Area / Surroundings

It was a urban enviornment. Back of an apartment building. There were no military base or power plants nearby. it was mostly houses. The acxact address is 1835 S. Fairfield.

Full Description & Details

The moon was full, the night was cool and clear. I was seven at the time, my witness ( my brother) was nine. We were outside on our porch, we were having a regular conversation when we both looked up and we saw the moon. We had a telescope and we could see the creators of the moon until my brohter wouldn't let me take a look. I looked up and saw a second moon just right by the moon. We didn't needed the telescope because it was big. Anyone can see without telescopes. It was big, round, lightly yellowed and moved slow. we stood there watching it, until we got scared and ran back to the house. I can't remember clear but inside the "moon-like" object, we saw bodies with the telescopes. We were't sure if it was bodies but shadows of it. If only i can remember more. Sorry.

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

it could have probably been a planet but it's hard to confirm because no news channels forsighted any planets that night.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

before my sightings I didn't think much but after I became frightened yet curious. I wish I can see it again and report it on sight.

Location:

Arizona,

Summary:

We stopped at the Lake Roosevelt Dam overlook (on the Salt River) to take pictures of the dam. Mr friend Mark Abrams alerted me to something he was seeing to the south of the overlook. We both viewed the objects for approx. half an hour with other visitors to the overlook.

No. of Witnesses:

Duration: 

one-half hour

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Type 1 Round object reflecting sunlight, bright against the blue sky Type 2 Filiment appearing also reflected sunlight, also bright against the blue sky

Size of Object(s)

We could not estimate the distance the objects were from us so we cannot estimate the size. Maybe you can estimate from the photograph sent in separate email.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Rural area south of Roosevelt Dam on the Salt River

Full Description & Details

There were two types of objects we observed. The first type appeared to be round and moved in all directions. The second type of object appeared to be long filiments, also moving in all directions. During the one-half hour period we viewed the objects we saw approx. two dozen of the round objects and three or four dozen of the filiment objects. Sometimes we saw both types of objects together at other times only one or the other type of object was visable. Sometimes the objects were visable for several seconds, at other times we saw the objects for a second or less. During one of my sightings one of the filiment appearing objects formed an almost perfect 180 degree arc above a cliff. Mark Abrams and myself took numerous pictures of the objects. I was using a 35mm Canon SLR and Mark was using a Canon digital camara. I have forwarded one of Mark's pictures to you in a separate email. This picture is significant since not only are both types of objects present but a souring eagle is also in the forground of the picture to give reference to the objects. This is an untouched up digital photograph, we hope it will be valuable to you.

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

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I have had a casual interest in UFOs and did see a UFO with my wife in the 1960s while living on the Navajo Reservation. This sighting last Thursday is the first I have had since the 1960s

I have not had the 35mm slide film developed yet of the objects we saw. If the objects appear on the film would you like to know?

silver in appearence metalic round and robot like at about 50,000 feet and about the size of a cesna light aircraft and was stationary for about an hour and left. six of us saw it above the village we live on a clear blue day with no wind .it wasnt a balloon or a craft man made or weather curiosity but since we had no way of under standing it ichose to forget it. now that we have found planets since 1981 and atomic engineering has gathered pace it is probable for us to build something similer perhaps by stripping anti-gravitons as a format.revelations of the bible says there is another earth and galaxy so i am looking for ward to meeting my brothers and sisters out in space.

Summary:

It was like watching a jet leave a trail but a jet cannot make these turns. It zig-zagged it's way down, disappearing behind the woods, and then came back up in a straight line and was gone. I did not see what was making the trail...... I just saw the trail appear, do it's thing and take off. I thought it was pretty strange because a jet can't make moves like that, so I picked up the digital camera and snapped a couple pictures.

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

Yes, it could be some type of jet or something. It's just not something I know about so, in that case, I would find it odd and unfamiliar.

I think that we are foolish to think we are alone in this infinite space but whether or not we are being visited....... I don't know.

UFO sighting

Date : 25 december 2005

Time : approx. 18.48 GMT

Place : Near Kaya, Burkina Faso, GPS reading 13°17’50” N 0°38’52” W

Sighted by 3 adults, camping in the wild.

Description :

3 (or 4 ?) bright orange lights (no blinking) that seemed to be regularly spaced (equilateral triangle ?) moved rather low over the eastern horizon in a north-south direction along a slightly descending trajectory. The lights themselves left no individual trails. However, the group of lights left a long, faintly visible, silvery trail behind. No sound was heard.

The height of the object over the horizon was estimated at approx. 20°, it covered an estimated 45° horizontally in about 30 seconds.

The next day, we spoke with people in Dori (about 50 km east of where our sighting was done), who confirmed exactly what we had seen. They had ALSO sighted the object in the eastern sky, thus we have seen a phenomenon that was at a distance of MORE than 50 km ! (the very eastern part of Burkina Faso or Niger). This would account for a HUGE object, or several objects moving at the same speed.

Several days later, we met two Canadians working for a gold mine near Yalgo (same region). They were also very excited by their sighting. They and several employees had seen the same phenomenon : sole difference : they claimed to have seen many more lights (about 20).

Since I am not a believer in little green men in flying saucers, I am looking for a rational explanation. My tentative one : sveral objects moving at the same speed. Was there a natural phenomenon at that time (meteorite, comet...) ? Or did a large satellite or space station disintegrate in the upper atmosphere at that moment ?

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

my only explanation would be a disintegrating satellite
