Appearance / Description of Object(s)

round with three lights on the bottom, the center light seemed to be the light we were taken back down to the ground with. It was dark and I was young but it seems it was metallic and had small slots or windows around the edge.

directly across the road in a corn field.

Description of Area / Surroundings

rural area. Small farm town. Two-lane highway passed by our house with corn feilds around us.

Full Description & Details

I was about 8 or 9 and lived in a smaill town in Iowa. I awoke to this high pitch sound that was driving me crazy. I yelled for my Dad and he cam upstairs to see what I was so upset about. No one else in the house could hear it. We lay across my bed looking out the window at these strange lights moving back and forth across the corn field. Suddenly these lights lifted into the air and disappeared. Dad said he didn't know what it was and instructed me to go back to sleep. A few hours later I was waken by lights shining into my room. This wasn't too unusual as my brothers had to pass through my room to go down stairs when ever they use the restroom. I remeber yelling at them to turn off the light several times. I also remember hearing small feet walking up the stairs.

This is where things get strange. I continues to complain about the light and kept asking who I thought was my brothers to turn it off. A voice answered "we can't turn it off" I turned from facing the wall to these thin creatures standing around my bed. I was so scared that I wet the bed. This seemed to disturb them and they asked why I did that.

I can remeber several of them walking between my brothers room and my room and in a room we refered to as the "Junk room." I had a jar filled with cattails and they were interested in that. They were interested in a mirror hanging next to my bulliten board and the things on the bulletin board.

My next memory is one of my brothers and I are in this place that I do not recognize and it appears that we are on an examination table of some sort. I'm not sure where my brother was taken. The only reason I know he is there is because I can hear him screaming bloody murder. I begin to cry and want to go to him but am not allowed. These creatures ask me why I am crying and I tell them I am worroed about my brother and that I didn't want them to take his brain. They though this was funny and told me they were not taking his brain. It seems that the "Dr.'s" are different from the thin creatures. They are shorter and meaner. They had assigned one of the thin ones as a type of guardian and it was allowing me to touch it and look into its eyes. I was very interested in its eyes. The shorter ones would not let me touch it and became quit angry when I tried.

From here I can remember running across the back yard behind my brother asking him over and over what was going on. He was just inteested in getting into the house and did not want to take the time to answer my questions. We were both petrified.

The next morning I was the first to get up. I walked down stairs fully expecting to see mom in her usual place in the kitchen, but she wasn't there. The back doors stood open which I found to be strange. At first I thought maybe she had started laundry early and was hanging clothes on the line, but when I looked outside she wasn't there. I went back into the house and quietly walked to my parens room. Mom was still sleeping, this was unusal. My mother was always up at the crack of dawn. I became frightened and ran back upstairs to my room and coward under the covers.

Eventually everyone got up and as we were eating our breakfast my brother suddenly for no reason got a bloody nose. It was very bad and mom rush him into the bathroom to take care of it but it wouldn't stop bleeding. as she is cleaning him up a small piece of metal falls from his nose. We were put on trial from mom and dad because they thought one of us had put something up his nose.

Too this day if I were to ask my brother what happen in Rippey he gets very upset and says he doesn't want to talk about it. If I ask him if I am right to think that something happened there he gets even more upset and tells me that I know it did so quit pestering him about it.

I'm still not sure. Sometimes I get extremely angry about the thought of someone coming into our home and removing my brother and I and doing things to us that made him scream in pain. I do not remember too many details about the entire experience. It has taken me my entire life to remember what I have.

I have a wierd scare on the inside of my leg that neither parent could explain. I have a small lump on the inside of my left foot that neither parent could ever explain. And I have had so many problems with my reproductive system. I had surgey in 2004 and the doctor found my fallopian tubes completely bent backwards and twisited. I don't know if any of this has anything to do with the night but it leaves me to wonder.

Witness Background

I am now in my mid-forties and spent time in the Army. I am currently a socialwork/Theology major and planning on attending seminary once I am done.

I was only a child when this sighting occured. Since that time I have become almost obsessive about learning as much as I can about others that may have had the same experieince.

Other Comments

It wasn't until I was in my early twenties that I started remebering bits and pieces of that night. I was shopping and The book Communion had just been released. As I wlked past the book stand I saw this picture on the cover identical to pictures my brother would draw when we were younger. It literally stopped me in my tracks. I bought the book.

Manila Bay area with shipyards and hotels.

Full Description & Details

At first, we thought these were just planes or helicopters hovering to check if there are ongoing fires in some areas in Manila. But 10 is too much. We watched these lights until they disappear one by one from our view, covered by some dark clouds. They can't be hot air balloons. They have no business being there in the first place at 11:30 in the evening ?!

More than 10 objects in the night sky? I don't think so.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

It was a sunny day with some big puffy pure white clouds. Even though the sun was shining across the Westjet aircraft & onto the clouds, It did not reflect the light. There was a vapor trail behind it, approximately eight times as long as the object. It looked to be 'light' as it rather 'bounced' along. It was pewter colored, a rectangular shape, with no markings such as doors, windows, seams, bulges. I have no idea how far away/how large it really was except to judge the makeup of the vapor trail as being 'curly'

Size of Object(s)

Now, when my arm is extended, I believe the object would have been approximately the size of my index & middle fingers together (only longer)

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

The pilot had seconds before announced that we were flying at 34,000 ft.

Description of Area / Surroundings

We were flying above & crossing the mountains.

Full Description & Details

It passed from my view rapidly. I asked the stewardess to ask the pilot if he had seen anything unusual in the last few minutes. She did & the pilot reported that he did not. On my return trip a couple weeks later upon retrieving my luggage I decided to ask a pilot who was standing in the small Abbotsford airport if anything unusual had been reported in the previous couple of weeks. He apparently had heard that 'some woman' had asked a pilot on a flight, but he noted that he had never seen anything or knew any pilot who had.

This may be unrelated, however, when I arrived in Edmonton & had opportunity to share this with a friend a few days later, she noted that crop circles had been reported in a grain field in Saskatchewan. I later obtained a copy of the Western Producer dated Aug 27/98 where there was a story & couple of photographs. Same friend also told me about a place in BC where crop circle(s) were beside a small airport runway. Vanderhoof, BC as reported several weeks later on Saturday am CBC radio program 'Basic Black'.

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

I saw a triangle shape with lights at three points. I am not sure if it was one object that traversed those three points with such rapidity that it gave the illusion of a triangular shaped object or whether in fact it was a triangular shaped object with much brighter-than-normal running lights for want of a better term. I have over four hundred hours logged, most of it piloting my own plane, and know what aircraft strobe lights look like. These were not them. The object was perfectly still in the sky for a period of roughly seven minutes and then abruptly disappeared.

Size of Object(s)

I would estimate the object to be at least a half a mile across.

Thirty-five thousand to fifty thousand feet.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Desert surroundings on the Navajo reservation approximately ten miles east of Kayenta, AZ

Full Description & Details

I saw a triangle shape with lights at three points at an altitude of somewhere between thirty-five thousand and fifty thousand feet. I would estimate that the size of the object would have had to have been easily over a half mile across. The lights jumped from point to point at a speed faster than any known aircraft can travel and in a completely irregular pattern.

The object was perfectly still in the sky for a period of roughly seven minutes and then abruptly disappeared.

When I pulled into a small trading post, just outside Kayenta, I asked the kid behind the counter how long he had been on the reservation (Navajo). He replied his entire life. I asked him if he had ever seen anything strange in the sky. He told me he had and then preceded to describe the exact same object I had seen, which he claimed to have seen the night before.

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

It resembled no natural or man-made object. It hovered in one place, perfectly still, at an altitude which no helicopter could achieve (or if it was not one object with three running lights but rather one object, jumping from point to point in a triangular formation it stayed exactly in that area in a manner which no aircraft could duplicate.)

Witness Background

I'm a screenwriter, I have a B.A. from UCLA. I was a private aircraft owner and flew my own plane for several years. Having a home in Sedona, Arizona and a ranch in southwest Colorado and my home base in California I have had occasion to travel that area extensively over the last seventeen years and have never seen anything like this.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I believed in the possibility but had never seen one. Also I should add that I have both piloted my own plane and had driven across that area of desert many times and never seen anything remotely like it.

Backyard in a residentail neighborhood in a small college town in southern Ontario. We faced the town's tiny "downtown" area across a small river. Late summer, just before students returned for the fall term. Unusually wet summer. Went out at that late with a neighbor to see how high the river had risen over the backyard we shared as tenants in a student building.

all the while. So for about two minutes. Then suddenly they formed a straight line and simply hung there, stock still, lights now on but no longer blinking. Then, as quick as a flash, they dated away, all together, to the west and through a cloud bank that obsctructed our view of them. Then, as we were about to depart, one of the objects flew back toward us and stopped in mid air over the town about a quarter of a mile from where we stood. Its lights blinked on and off and it began to fly about in tight circles. Then it zoomed back off to the west.

My sensation as I gazed at the objects was one of intense interest, but not awe. I was not afraid. I was a little sorry when it was over and stood gazing for some time. I hoped perhaps that something more dramatic would transpire.

Full Description & Details

lots of interesting sightings that night and one sighting both me and my friend will never forget. as me and my friend walked down the north cornish caostal road to my house from delabole at about one oclock AM in the morning powerful light source appeared from knowhere obove my house and next doors house. It was a clear night sky, the stars were realy bright, the milky way ran diagnaly across my house as you looked up when standing out side my house. the sighting happened as my friend and i hade been standing there for about 5 minutes looking at the night sky and discussing the satalites that could be seen and wether they were merely satallites or some thing els .

To appeare out of knowhere so spontaneously would have to mean that it was hovering above our house completly invisable to the naked eye and silant as we where looking through the area that the object appeared to be in for at least 5 minutes. this means that theoreticly it was of high intelligence to be able to be seen through and the only possible explination i can give is that as we where star gazing and phisicaly pionting through were the object appeared, that the object/light source must of been suprised that we were concuoiss of it and decided to take off, but we were actualy not concious of it as we thought that we were just pionting at satalites and stars which were in the area of the miky way which theoreticly would of been behind the object. this is what justifies my reason for thinking that it was of higher intelligence.

The sighting

we could see a satalite passing under the milky way i pointed to it to reashur my friend that it was there, then a very powerful light blinded us from were i was pointing directly under the milkyway. To this day both me and my friend cant still cant determin wether the light had sound with it or not as it was so shocking that we both reacted spontaneously.I fell to the ground as it was my natural instinced and my friend ran down the road but in the moment i didnt know what he was doing but about rouphly 5 seconds after the light had shocked us i got up and looked to see were my friend had gone and he had just kind of ran to the side by about 10 meters to turn around as i got up to come and stand next to me as if we were scared and needed to know we were both alwright be fore looking back up to see the most amazing thing i have ever seen in my life. about 200 feet above are terrace of houses and dirrectly below are perspective of the milky way was the light source. The light source had know became subtle anough for us to be able to look at it. I estimated the scale of the light source to be about 300 feet in diameter and sitting about a 150 to 200 hundred feet up. It was rotating very qiuckly but i could not say how fast it was spining.at this piont me and my friend were trying to figure it out but dident realy have any thing to say to each other, just a qiuck glance at each other and then just kept on watching it in ore of it. This whole axperiance lasted for about for what i percieve to be about a minute or maybe a minute and a half. As we kept looking at it i started to notice a kind of smoke ring around the light source, and as i reaalised the smoke ring was around it i realised that the light source was actualy starting to rise up and this gave justification for the smoke ring as the light source was geting further away from us moving in a vertical direction. The light source then gained speed and took off going directly up wards towards the milky way and literaly disapeared into the milkyway area of the sky, leaving the smoke ring type effect obove are house for about a minute this then disapated.I have never witnessed any thing like it before and this is the first time i have presented the information to any commercial source. i would like some one with some knowedge to at least reason with me or to give there opinion on what i have witnessed, it would be much appreciated.

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

To appeare out of knowhere so spontaneously would have to mean and to respond so quickly would have to mean that it was not a naturall object known by man kind and not a commercialy known conventional man-made object.

The noise was getting louder and louder. The window started to shake hardly and the sound was louder. Then I saw two cigar-shaped (light coloured) flying objects on each other. You can hear that it was not a helicopter nor a plane. The noise is much more diffrent. The shape had no other lights as much as I could see it. It went over our house and moved on towards helsinki(towards Helsinki/Haaga). Then I closed the curtains and went to sleep. I told about the happening to other people only in the morning.
