- Butler, Butler County, Pennsylvania A Large Bright Light
-
- Date: Mid 1960's (Late Winter or Early Spring)
- Time: Evening.
-
- Number of witnesses: 1
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Large Bright Light.
- Weather Conditions: Clear, with no wind to speak of.
-
- Description: One evening in late winter or early spring
of the mid 1960s my husband and I were traveling on Brown Ave in Butler,
Pennsylvania when I noticed a very bright light to my right. At first I
thought the light was moving and perhaps it was at that time. I was concerned
that it might be a large commercial or military plane in trouble because
the light was so bright and so low. However, as we continued up Brown Ave
the light seemed to stop moving and became stationary. My husband's mother
lived near the bottom end of Brown and we decided to stop and visit her.
-
- I did mention the light to my husband but he apparently
didn't pay attention to what I said. When we got out of the car my husband
took our young daughter into the house while I stood on the front porch
and watched the light. I stood there for quite some time, long enough for
my husband to remove our daughter's coat, hat, gloves etc. Finally I decided
that I had been confused and that the light had only seemed to move because
of the movement of our car. So I decided to go into the house, which I
did. I remained in the house long enough say hello to my husband's family
but I eventually went back onto the porch. Just when I decided that I was
crazy to stand out in the cold watching this light, it seemed to jerk,
much like the start of an engine on an older car or tractor.
-
- Suddenly the light got brighter and took off with such
awesome speed that it was almost like it disappeared.I should mention that
there was no sound even though I was close enough that I would have heard
any sound if there was any-and I know about acoustic shadow. During the
entire time I watched the object from the porch it appeared to "perch"
on the bare tree limb of tree on a house across the street. At arms length
my thumb would probably cover the light source. However it was brighter
when I saw it from the car window going up the hill. At that time probably
the light source would appear about the size of the bottom of a tin can.
I never saw an actual object, just the light. While it was standing still
I think the light was probably hovering over Armco Steel Mill and/ or Pullman
Standard which manufactured railroad cars.
-
- TV/Radio: The Butler Eagle-Butler's newspaper-ran an
article on the sighting the next day. Apparently quite a few people saw
the light However, as usual the light was described as an airplane practicing
stalls, a hot air balloon and other asinine descriptions. I had served
in the military a couple of years before this event and was quite familiar
with some aircraft. This was nothing conventional. Speed alone ruled that
out.I've carried this event in my mind for many years and I'm glad to finally
get it down on paper. UFOINFO - <http://www.ufoinfo.com/>http://www.ufoinfo.com/

- Mexico City, Mexico A Large Bright Flying Saucer
-
- Date: December 21, 1980
- Time: 11:00 p.m.
-
- Number of witnesses: 3
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Saucer
- Weather Conditions: Good, clear.
-
- Description: Approximately Dec. 21, 1980 my sons Jason
(age 7) and Michael age 10) and I (36 yrs old at that time) looked up to
the sky and saw a large, bright, flying saucer flying over the top of a
large high rise building in Mexico City, Mexico. We were heading home to
our hotel while on a Christmas vacation.
-
- My husband was well ahead of us and although we screamed
to the top of our lungs and jumped up and down to get his attention, did
not believe us and never turned around to see it. The "saucer"
was very bright white, had many windows all the way around it, was very
silent and came from behind the building, hovered over us and the building
and then proceeded to go very quickly back up and disappear.
-
- We were more excited than frightened, but it was also
rather alarming because we had never seen a flying object move like that
in terms of silence and speed. It was very bright and made of a solid material.
The windows did have light in them, but we did not see any objects or living
creatures inside the

- Outside Of Pennsylvania Two Circles Connected (UFO)
-
- Date: 1993
- Time: 11:30 p.m.
-
- Location of Sighting: Outside in PA (?)
- Number of witnesses: 1
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Two circles connected like the master
card symbol.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: I looked out second
story window, just kind of looking at the night sky when out of the corner
of my eye an object caught my attention. It basically just flew by
in about 5 or 6 seconds. In that time I noticed the shape, the color,
the size, and the fact that it didn't make any noise. Not a single sound! The
shape was like the master card symbol from being below it. It had
a flat matte metallic rust color. Like silver/rust. There were
no lights, no sound and I could tell that light didn't reflect easily.
It flew fast and graceful, smooth and wasn't high in the sky like most
people would think. It was huge for something that made no noise and
flew so smoothly. With in that 5 or 6 seconds I laughed and smiled
to myself because I knew.

- Ladysmith, British Columbia A Giant Black Rotating Saucer
Hovering
-
- Date: June 1998 ?
- Time: Approx: 9:00 p.m.
-
- Hello, I found your email on ufoinfo.com while
reading a report in Cranbrook that happened some years ago. While the situation
differs vastly from what I can recall from my own, it did cause me to mentally
dig up what I've kept away for about 10 years Hopefully, you'll find it
of some interest.
-
- I was sitting in my bed reading the first Harry Potter
book. It had only been published in Canada a few months prior, so this
was several years before Pottermania had struck. I highly adored the books
concept, and to think anything could draw my attention away from it, especially
as a 9 year old child, would be unthinkable. The reason I chanced to look
out the window was to prevent myself from reading the entire book in a
sitting, which was one of my unfortunate and expensive habits at the time.
At that moment, I was scared to the point where my entire body locked up,
due to the fact that a giant black rotating saucer was hovering about one
and a half kilometers away, and about the same distance from the ground
(maybe less). It was nighttime, so the neighborhood lights obscured much
of the detail of the underside of the craft, but I could tell from the
jerky blurriness of the sides' lights that it was spinning. A few seconds
after this, the craft disappeared in a flash of light that only encompassed
the area of where the craft had been spinning in the air. A line of light
lasted a few moments and appeared to indicate the direction that the craft
flew away to.
-
- This occurred in Ladysmith, BC, sometime during the month
of June. It was about 9:00pm, and there were no cars driving around. The
area that the UFO would have been directly above was an uninhabited provincial
forested park that was also mountainous. The most striking detail about
the craft was that it was darker than the night sky, despite having small
bright lights on its side and underbelly. The entire event lasted about
5 seconds, yet it left a lasting impression on my memory. To this day,
I can slow down the sequence of events in my mind and draw inferences from
what I witnessed. I never came forward for fear of retribution, claims
of insanity or attention seeking, but now I am simply curious if anyone
else saw what I saw that night in June in 1998. I read about a sighting
in Prince George, BC that describes almost the exact same craft, except
it takes place in 1969.
-
- Any feedback is welcome.

- Sincerely and painstakingly truthfully,
-
- Thank you to the witness for a very interesting sighting
report. HBCC UFO Research - <http://www.hbccufo.org/>http://www.hbccufo.org

- Georgetown, Ontario (Eaton Park) Kite Shaped UFO Shot
Out Of Sight
-
- Date: August 2007
- Time: 9:00 - 10:00 p.m.
-
- Location of Sighting: Eaton Park
- Number of witnesses: 2
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Discus.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: I am (name removed),
a grade 11 student at Christ the King Secondary School in Georgetown Ontario.
My mom (name removed) (42 yrs old), and my brother (13 yrs old
at the time) were just sitting down and watching TV while I was in
summer school. My mom took a quick peek out the window towards Eaton Park.
She saw something in the sky that didn't look like an ordinary kite. It
was just hovering there for a good minute. My mom called my brother over
to the window. They both looked at it for a while until it tilted horizontally.
(it started out vertically flat) And then it just shot out of sight. It
was an unexplainable event. The only explanation we have is that it was
an Unidentified Flying Object.

- South Of Ottawa Ontario 3 Unusual Lights In A Linear
Order
-
- Date: February 8, 2008
- Time: Approx: 9:30 - 10:00 p.m.
-
- Location of Sighting: South of Ottawa Ontario, Highway
416 about 4 km before 401 on ramp.
- Number of witnesses: 2
- Number of objects: 3
- Shape of objects: Spherical linear array of lights irregular
patterns.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: I apologize, as it
has been months since I have chosen to further research any other sightings
of our strange experience. I'm not certain anymore, exactly how many weeks
following the 2008 new years this occurred although I know it was a Friday.
My girlfriend and I were late leaving Ottawa on our way to see family in
Martintown. In order to make up for lost time we chose to get their via
416. We had been driving for only about half an hour to 45 minutes when
we were approaching the split that directs you onto the 401 heading east.
Our conversation was abruptly interrupted when we both witnessed something
very abnormal in the sky. Before either of us had the chance comment we
observed 3 brighter than usual lights appear in linear order to the east
of the highway.
-
- They than disappeared as they appeared (1 light on, second,
than third and vise-versa). Within seconds of the third light disappearing,
the 3 lights reappeared to the western side of the highway (much further
west than east to the highway). The lights reappeared in a different pattern
consisting of second, third, then first and quickly disappeared in yet
a different pattern third, first, then second never to be seen by us again.
That was our experience. We are young adults although we grew up in that
very area and are well aware of aircraft lights and all land based structures
containing lights and their patterns. As skeptics ourselves we thought
logically and attempted to rationalize the sighting, although everything
we were able to rule out. I will never forget it, and we could not have
been the only ones to witness it. If there is any one out there that can
recall the same experience please email me, I am very curious. Either we
witnessed something remarkable or we saw one hell of a plane.

- Lafayette, Indiana Lights Jets Another Eye Witness To
UFO Event
-
- Date: April 16, 2008
- Time: 10:30 p.m.
-
- Hello, I typed in "Kokomo Indiana UFO" into
Google and came across your site and a description of a UFO that I also
saw. I believe it was April 16, at 10:30 p.m. one day before the recent
earthquake in Indiana and the surrounding area.
-
- I am a recent graduate of Purdue University and I live
in Lafayette, Indiana. What I saw took place at about 10:30 p.m. I
was standing on my balcony having a cigarette and about ready to go back
inside. However, I noticed a light in the Eastern sky. I assumed it was
an airplane that was about to land at the Purdue Airport. I decided to
watch the "airplane" fly over me before I went inside. But, instead,
I saw this:
-
- The appearance of the light was similar to an orange
or yellow street light and it was bright enough that I assumed that the
"airplane" was due to fly over me within a matter of minutes.
But as I waited, the light did not move. So I waited longer. Then, it disappeared
for a brief moment and then reappeared as five or seven similar lights
forming a circle. As I watched, the lights formed the shape of a line.
The line was again about five or seven lights and it was horizontal.
-
- Then from that line, another line of lights seemed to
project from the horizontal line toward a vertical position. During this
time, the entire array of lights seemed to move slightly North. The way
the second line projected from the first was similar to the way a movie
click board opens. Then, those lines seemed to move independent of each
other and began moving around each other, either still as lines or independently.
Finally, after witnessing this, which I would say took place for about
15 seconds, I ran inside to get my roommate to see it, but when we returned
it was gone.
-
- The sky that night was very clear and the moon was out.
I also saw a few planes or jets flying all around the sky right after this
event and they left many contrails. It has been something that has stayed
in my mind ever since I saw it, so I decided to see if anything was on
the internet about it. I ran into two other kids a week later who said
they also saw it. They told me that many people in Kokomo saw this, therefore
I assume that what I saw in Lafayette was the same object that was seen
in Kokomo. I hope this helps you in anyway.
-
- My name is (removed) and I live in downtown Lafayette,
Indiana. Please send me an email to: (Email removed) if you need to
or if there is any other information concerning this sighting. Thank you.

-
-
- Number of witnesses: 3
- Number of objects: 2
- Shape of objects: Like a star.
- Weather Conditions: Clear Summer sky, no clouds.
-
- Description: We (Myself, my wife and my 7 year old
daughter) had just came from Mumbai on the same day to this village for
a religious trip. Thrilled to see clear sky with so many stars which never
see in the city. Was just looking at the stars when suddenly 2 objects
which we first thought are stars started moving. Within 5-10 minutes from
the top of the sky they were on the horizon.
-
- They were moving in perfect synchronization while keeping
always the same equal distance between them. We are sure they were not
planes or birds as there is no air corridor above this area.

- Buckhead Atlanta, Georgia Object Shoots Upward At High
Rate Of Speed
-
- Date: May 5, 2008
- Time: 4:00 a.m.
-
- Location of Sighting: Atlanta, Ga. (Buckhead)
- Number of witnesses: 2
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Round.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: May 5th 4:00 a.m.
Atlanta,Ga. I frequently star gaze on my back terrace which is on the top
floor (20th) story of a condo building in north Atlanta (Buckhead) Ga.
I began looking at stars and planets around 2 years ago. Anyhow, after
gazing for a couple of hours, I noticed to my right, due west, a very bright
round object about 10-15 degrees above the horizon. The position this object
was at in the sky absolutely eliminates any chance that it was a star,
planet, or any other heavenly object. A friend of mine was behind me looking
through one of my telescopes at planets and stars as well.
-
- When I noticed this object, I remember saying to myself,
"What is that, it can't be a star or planet because of where it's
positioned. The round object was stationary and seemed to be swirling in
different colors; very bright. I picked up my binoculars to my right and
looked at the object closer. As I looked at it again, it began to move
slowly to my left about 5 degrees and then very quickly shot upward around
5 degrees and stopped. The movement it made upward did not seem possible
for any craft that I'm aware of and the G-force must have been unreal.
Upon shooting upward, it then shot quickly to my right and stopped. At
this point I called for my buddy who was behind me to hurry and look at
this.
-
- The object slowly started moving to my left again as
my friend turned around. At the moment my friend made eye contact with
the object, it seemed to shoot upwardly and vanished; almost vanishing
in place but I recall a slight upwardness to it's vanishing trick. I asked
my friend if he saw that and he said, " what was that? I saw a bright
round object completely vanish before my eyes". In my 2 years of star
gazing, I've never seen a "UFO" or anything close. I remembered
afterwards that the direction I was looking in during this sighting was
smack right over Dobbins Airforce Base in Marietta, GA. About 15 miles
away from me. I can see a couple of their runways and watch planes land
with the naked eye but better with binoculars. It seemed this object had
to have been within their airspace.
-
- After my experience, I went online to search any other
sightings with my description and their seem to be a lot. The one that
stands out the most is a documented report of two airforce pilots and their
superior in Iraq. The pilots ended up chasing these object to no avail.
The date of this incident took place the day after I was born, September
18th 1976. Anyhow, I thought that was interesting. Let me know if you need
anymore info.

- Auckland, New Zealand An Oval UFO With Lights
-
- Date: May 2008
- Time: 8:30 p.m.
-
- Number of witnesses: 2
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: It was surrounded by glimmering lights,
perhaps an oval shape but we couldn't really tell.
- Weather Conditions: Clear sky at night, stars shining,
crisp air.
-
- Description: My mother stood outside at the balcony for
a smoke that night, and I was in the lounge watching TV (on the second
floor in the house). She then called me out to see what she thought was
an airplane- only, it was completely static and not moving.
-
- I got out and saw an oval-like object with lights all
around it. It was high up in the sky over the ocean, not moving. It just
'stood' there. That was weird. It was not a plane or aircraft because it
had many lights all around it, and it was not moving. The lights were not
those aircraft lights that flicker on and off. I then had to go back inside
to take a phone call and when I came out again (about 10 minutes later),
it was gone, there was no sign of it anywhere in the sky.
-
- Could it have been some sort of (weird looking) aircraft?
I doubt it.
-
- TV/Radio: I wish! That's how I ended up on this site, I
was looking for any similar reports of that night. UFOINFO - <http://www.ufoinfo.com/>http://www.ufoinfo.com/

- St Albans, England A Circular Bright Yellowish Light
-
- Date: May 10, 2008
- Time: 9:35 p.m.
-
- Number of witnesses: Two
- Number of objects: 5
- Shape of objects: Circular bright yellowish light with
surrounding larger dark area after lights extinguished.
- Weather Conditions: Fine, clear.
-
- Description: 5 objects appeared in the SE sky close to
the horizon traveling in a roughly westerly direction at fairly high speed
(visibly at least the speed and altitude of an aircraft when landing in
our area). Each displayed a very bright yellowish light, not pulsating
and no visible navigation lights. One by one the objects appeared to veer
off towards the south, each light disappeared and a dark shape could be
seen in the sky surrounding the point where the light had been (rather
like the shape of a parachute or balloon) but still moving at high speed
so definitely not such an object. The last object could be tracked with
binoculars after its light disappeared, still traveling westwards in the
evening sky. I cannot relate what I saw to anything that I have seen previously.
My wife joined me and confirmed the above unusual sighting.
-
- TV/Radio: Not so far, I really don't know who to call.
