As the object started to continue coming towards me I quickly grabbed my .22 caliber rifle that I use for fishing just in case anything odd happened. It started closing in but I could not tell how far it was then all of a sudden it disaperred very slowly. I couldn't tell if I was seeing things or not but it has to be true because it was seen by five people

Object looked to me to be 1/2 Inch accross, but it was quite a distance away. Approx 40 miles 65 Km

Description of Area / Surroundings

I was in my house. It was quite some distance away.

Full Description & Details

I was looking out my kitchen window just about to eat supper, when I noticed A bright light in the sky over to the east north east. I had seen a light flying in a very eratic manor changing direction with incredible velocity. The way it flew there is no doubt in my mind that it was not an airplane. The light was doing 90 degree turns with no yaw at all it was angular motion which is technically impossible with present propulsion methods. The light flew around for about 10 minutes then disappeared. The funny thing that I realized today was that the Light was flying over the epicentre of the earthquake that happened yesterday, out past Meaford, just off thornbury out over Georgian Bay. Just thought that some one should hear it..

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

The chance that their isn't other life in the universe is pretty small if you really think about it. The chance they would actually come to this rock is pretty slim.

Full Description & Details

I remember my brother jerking me out of the house telling me it was going to crash into us. I looked up and saw an object hovering in the sky, motionless, lights were on the bottom of the craft. Then it took off and was gone in an instant. My Grandmother called someone in the Government and they sent someone to investigate. I was probably only around eleven years old , but I recall them telling her that the tops of the trees were scorched. The trees were in the area that the UFO was hovering over.

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

No, it was to quiet to be anything manmade, and was super quick

Witness Background

Location:

Tucson, Arizona, United States

Summary:

Nightime over city of Tucson, several lights were flying in formation at high rates of speed. Observed by airtrafic controllers in two towers and on multiple radars.

Date Reported:

10/21/2005 2:56:19 PM

No. of Witnesses: 

4 in tower

Duration: 

1 hour

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Round, bright white.

Size of Object(s)

For us to see them so well and be tracked by radar at least 25 to 40 ft acrsss.

Description of Area / Surroundings

The airfield was not lit as as the aircraft had landed. It was not city lights we observed or Venus. We were all well trained weathermen as well.

Full Description & Details

I was an airtraffic controller in DavisMonthan Control tower, night shift. Five lights appeared out of nowhere over the base. They split into two groups and did formation manovers. Tucson tower, five miles from us watched them also and asked if we had high speed jet helicopter training going on. The Tucson approach radar said they could see them. Albuqueque Air Route Traffic Control called and said they were tracking them also. They were in the area for almost an hour. They formed up and headed East at high speed. The long range radar guessed they were going 1200 per hour. They dissapeared from radar over White Sands NM. Unable to give better discription of objects other than white globes.. The next day my Squadron Commander called us in and told us we were not to discuss it.

I saw many other things over the years on radar and sometimes pilots would ask if I knew what it was that had pulled up next to them. The Tucson observation was special as it was seen by multiple towers and radar sites.

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

The objects moved and turned at speeds our best fighters could not have close too. The base was a fighter base and I was familiar with everything that flew. My Commander seemed shaken when he talked to us and he was pretty hard nosed.

Witness Background

22 years of air traffic control

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I have seen many UFOs for want of a better word. Many pilots have reported them to me. I did controlling in Europe, all over the states and in the long area between Alaska dn Toyko. Something with intelligence is in the skies, I dont know what.

Nighttime

No. of Witnesses:

Duration: 

5 minutes

Appearance / Description of Object(s)

Silver metal, ribbed where sections met, bolts holding sections together, windows or ports since they were oval or almost round. triangular in shape with rounded sides.

Size of Object(s)

If I held my arms apart my hands would be about 4 foot apart. 60ft wide x 20ft tall.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

It was about 200 ft above my house.

Description of Area / Surroundings

It was in an urban area. Lots of houses. Power plant about 3 miles away.

Full Description & Details

I had just come home from taking my oldest son to a friends house. It was 11:30 pm. I was standing by my van and looked up over the house to see a "plane" gliding over at a very slow speed. I could see the metal and what I thought of as bolts holding the sections together. I could also see what I thought were windows. It was moving very slowly from the North to the South and there was no noise. Not egine noise or any other noise for that matter. It was if the nieghborhood had gone silent. I watched it until it was gone. The shape of it was like one side of a triangle and the edge was rounded. The end of it was what I took to be the end of the "plane's" wing. I did not see any engines of any kind. All of this lasted for what I thought was just a few minutes, maybe five minutes at the most. When I went into the house my husband was very upset with me. He wanted to know what had taken me so long when where I went was only about 15 minutes away. I told him it had only been about 20 minutes since I left and her told me to look at the clock. It was 1:45am.

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

I thought it was a plane, but there was no sound and all air traffic was grounded because of 9-11. No, not a natural or man made object.

Witness Background

I have two years of college. At the time this happened I was working at Protel Inc. a company that produces pay phones as a quality control inspecter.

San Pablo, California, United States

Summary:

My wife, two children,ages;16 and 20 and myself, witnessed an object flying from west to east over our house at 6;20 pm. Oblong in shape, no wings, no vapour trail and no sound was heard as it flew over us.

Date Reported:

10/21/2005 8:31:25 AM

Day/Night: 

.

Full Description & Details

We had time enough to get our 7.5 power binocs and I was able to get a short look at it as it passed over us. Even with the binoculars, it seemed too high to see much detail. We did all agree on the following points; It had roughly the dimensions of a shoebox, that is, 2 and a half times as long as it was wide. To me it looked like a wide diamond shape with all its points cut off and my son said it had more rounded edges and seemed to have two differant surfaces, one being yellow. It had no blinking lights or protruding wings. the front was no more pointed or narrower than the rear. I would make the following estimates; The size of a large school bus, altitude, 10 to 12 thousand feet, speed definitly sub sonic, maybe 400 to 450 mph.(cruising speed of an airliner). No sound whatever and no obvious vapour trail or afterburn. It was comming in from the west over San Pablo bay with Marin county behind it and going eastwards. That is roughly in the direction of Travis AF base.

My curiousity lies not so much to its origins as much as the mechanics of how it can fly at all. I'm reporting this on the possibility you may have cases similar to this one both in shape and maybe geographicly and that perhaps other witnesses may have gotten a better look or even had a camcorder handy. I would be very interested. Thanks, John D.
