- Marcy New York Cigar Shaped UFO As Large As A Football
Field
-
- Date: N/A
- Time: N/A
-
- I too have seen a cigar shaped object in the sky
over Marcy NY, this object was about 1/2 mile high in the sky and did not
have any lights on it. It was the size of a football field and made not
a noise. I thought I heard a humming, but if pushed for an answer, I
would have to say it made no noise. I was traveling west as the sun was
setting and I seen out my drivers side window, a large cigar shaped
something that moved slowly to my right, north, towards I thought was the
direction of Griffis Air base. Anyways as it passed over, I had to pull
over to get out and see. I did notice that another vehicle also had stopped,
it was headed in the opposite direction than me.
-
- I want to say that it had a shadowy grey appearance to
it. It's center edge stuck out a little, almost like looking at a submarine
sandwich and it hovered over for no longer then a minute and in an
instant it darted to the north, you could see it move out of sight at it's
same elevation, but it moved and I mean moved. I never seen something that
size move from a standstill to super speed in my life, I got in my truck
and raced over to a friend in Whitesboro and told him what I had seen,
he seemingly believed me. I had a feeling that I had better not make a
big deal about this, what I had seen changed me a little in what I
would believe, but I knew that when you harp on something people get spooked
away from you.
-
- I bring this story up now because the night of the shuttle
launch, or the very next morning I had noticed a very bright light in the
sky, almost like a star. It trailed from west to east and sped fast across
the sky. I know it wasn't a jet and I am guessing it was not the shuttle,
it may have been, but I am not sure. Well anyways that sighting brought
back my cigar shaped sighting. I wish I could remember the year I saw it,
I know it was at least 15 years or so, give or take another 5 years, this
is the first time I am telling this to an outfit that tracts this research.
I am 52 and its too late to accuse me of being a crack pot now. I have
my time in at work and this info seems to be out there more often. I should
say that before this sighting I was a believer in God and His Son, and
still today I am still a believer. I always look up.
-
- Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

- Trenton Ontario A Porthole And The Alien Grays
-
- HBCC UFO Research Note: I believe the witness when reading
the article thought it was myself who had the experience, but it was a
report from a witness and not myself.
-
- Hi Brian, It freaked me out to see your article and I
believe you saw what you saw. I am hoping in your search you have received
more answers to your sighting in Belleville, ON during the 60's. At that
time I was living in Trenton Ontario on Dufferin Street and had a strange
meeting one night as a child. I remember a portal opening up through my
bed's head board and going inside where I was met by friendly beings. I
don't remember much about what we did or said, but woke up the next morning
with a vivid memory of having the experience. I couldn't understand what
had happened to the hole that I was able to crawl through in the night.
The closest beings that I have seen that resemble my memory are those known
as grays. At the time I thought they kind of looked like grey colored Casper
the friendly ghosts but not cartoons, real. I am sure to this day that
I was visited in person by aliens as a young child and that they seemed
friendly and I wish I could have remembered more. I would love to find
out more about any UFO sightings in Belleville or Trenten between 1966
and 1969. I was born in March 1963 and this could have happened as young
as 3 and as old as 6 being able to recall and know the difference between
dreams and reality.. I am 46 today and still remember the event as a real
experience. Someday I would like to try to unbury that memory in more detail
through hypnotic regression.
-
- Anything more you may have found out and are willing
to share would be appreciated.

- Yuma, Arizona, Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Rifle Range
Landing Pad Imprints
-
- Date: March, Wednesday 1984
- Time: 6:00 a.m.
-
- Number of witnesses: 5
- Number of objects: 3
- Shape of objects: 3 Hexagonal shaped landing pad imprints
in sand about 3-4 feet in diameter with small hexagon shapes filling inside
of larger hexagon. Each pad was about 3 feet wide and the three formed
a triangle. Each pad was about 8-10 feet apart.
- Weather Conditions: clear, sun just coming up, no wind,
no clouds.
-
- Description: Four Marines and myself observed 3
Hexagonal shaped landing pad imprints in sand about 3-4 feet in diameter
with small hexagon shapes filling inside of larger hexagon (looked like
a honeycomb) just over the side barriers of the rifle range. There was
no craft, but the imprints formed a perfect triangle and were about 3 inches
deep. The circumference of the three pad impressions was about 8-10 feet
from each other and in the middle was some small
- charred remains, which I picked up (pebble size, black
and rocky) then put back down. No foot prints or residual blast area was
obvious. Whatever landed and took off, did so with no blast effect.
-
- Otherwise the site would have been obliterated. I know
of no propulsion system we have that can land and take off without a blast
from engines. We were soon told by Sergeant to get away from there. Soon
afterwards, the Naval Investigative Service (NIS) showed up and took Polaroid
photos.
-
- TV/Radio: Never reported by NIS.

- Bohola, Ireland Lights Cluster Around UFO
-
- Date: July (?) 2002
- Time: Approx: 2:00 a.m.
-
- Number of witnesses: 2
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Best described as a spinning top shape.
- Weather Conditions: Fine clear night. No cloud.
-
- Description: My partner and I have not reported this
before as we did not think we would be believed. I still recall the event
vividly.
-
- We were out stargazing when we spotted a light in the
southern quadrant of the sky. The light was low in the sky and we judged
it to be around 2 miles distant. It did not have strobe lights but was
lit. Through the binoculars I could just make out the outline, but what
really caught my attention was the huge number of lights clustered around
the central portion of the object. They were mainly orange and blue, with
a few yellow and red.
-
- The object moved slowly westwards towards the Atlantic
and seemed to be approaching Castlebar when it turned 90 degrees to the
right and started moving across in front of us. It carried on in that direction
and when past our line of sight with Newport turned 90 degrees left and
carried on outwards Achill Island and the sea. It was visible to us for
around 15 minutes in all. The turns were sharp immediate turns, not sweeping
curves. It was at the same height all the time it was visible.
-
- We are about 400 ft up a hill and I would judge it to
have been no more than 15 degrees above a level plane from us. When we
were discussing it afterwards we both realized that we had heard absolutely
no sound, and the dogs had not barked which normally they would if an aircraft
came so low.
-
- Castlebar is 12 miles from us so whilst it is very difficult
to estimate, I would have said the object was about 100ft high, maybe more.
Certainly comparable to the radio mast in Castlebar. We hear aircraft flying
at 30,000+ feet as they go over from West to East around 4am but this was
totally silent.

- Southeast Manitoba Canada Two Horizontally Oriented
Rectangles
-
- Date: May 10, 2008
- Time: 10:40 p.m.
-
- Location of Sighting: SE Manitoba.
- Number of witnesses: 1
- Number of Objects: 2
- Shape of Objects: Rectangular.
-
- Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was in a campground
in southeast Manitoba between the villages of Sundown and Piney, roughly
10 km. from the US border (Minnesota) when I looked to the southeast and
saw 2 horizontally oriented rectangles fairly close together, one above
the other. They were a bright white with no other colours evident. They
appeared to move in unison in a roughly circular fashion; that is, not
in a continuous circle, but moving haphazardly in a space in the sky that
occupied roughly the size of my outstretched fist. This continued for several
minutes. At that time the objects merged and became one. There were no
obstructions to my view such as tree branches or leaves...they clearly
merged in a split second and became simply one rectangle. After several
minutes they split and became 2 again. There was no sound at all and it's
impossible to guess their distance from my location, but I'd guess it was
more than a few miles at minimum. After 10 to 15 minutes of watching I
turned in for the night, but it's something I'll never forget. I've since
become a member of MUFON, and posted the sighting on one of their talk
forums. I've yet to hear of a similar sighting at any time or any place.
-
- I contacted Chris Rutkowski, Manitoba's go-to guy with
regards to UFOs and said a friend had suggested possibly the US government
was deploying silent drones near the Canada-US border. Chris said the only
drones at that time might have been near the US-Mexico border.
-
- I've been following the subject of UFOs for years, read
many a book on the subject and believe I know the difference between what
I saw and objects in everyday life. It was NOT the moon, any aircraft known
to man nor any star or planet. I don't believe shooting stars, meteors
or meteorites exhibit this kind of behavior, nor would any space station
or satellite. Have you ever heard of similar sightings from southeast Manitoba
or northwest Minnesota, or from anywhere, for that matter?
-
- Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

- Cannock Chase, Little Haywood, UK UFO With Red Lights
-
- Date: February 4, 2009
- Time: 8.05 pm
-
- Number of witnesses: 2
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Like a small plane but not a plane
say 30 to 40ft long, with loads of lights down the wing & 3 at the
end of the wings.
- Weather Conditions: Damp roads but clear sky bit dark
but clear.
-
- Description: Hi there, I have just had a phone call off
my friend, who was driving though Cannock Chase, Little Haywood about 8pm
to 8.15pm she says the UFO was about 50 foot in front and about
70 feet in the air.
-
- It was like a small plane, say about 30 to 40 feet long
maybe with red light down the wings and 3 light at the end of the
wing gray in colour. It stopped & hovered for a few seconds then went
very, very quick across to the fields flying lower & then that was
that as it just disappeared.
-
- She is a level headed person but what can this be as
it was not a mod done plane or anything else she as seen near the RAF base
at Stafford or anywhere else ?
- There was a car in front of her and a car behind
her too, so some one else beside her mate must have seen this. Many thanks.

- Tucson, Arizona Object Explodes
-
- Date: February 11, 2009
- Time: 9:20 p.m.
-
- Duration of event: 3-4 seconds.
- Number of witnesses: 3
- Shape of object: Oval.
-
- On the above date and time I was sitting with my Husband
and daughter in the living room area, and watching a movie. I was seated
in a chair that faces South-West, while my husband and daughter were seated
in chairs facing approx. North. Within the living room is a large sliding
glass door that allows exit to the backyard area. The door also faces South-West
and overlooks the Tucson mountains with an unimpeded view since there are
no homes in that area adjacent our home.
-
- I turned away from the Television and glanced out through
the sliding glass door. My attention was immediately drawn to an object
approx 200 to 300 feet Southwest of our backyard. Although I don't remember
seeing the object moving at that point, I got the impression that it was
moving South to North.
- The object was complete with two (2) red lights, (non-strobing)
one in the front and one in the rear. Although it was dark out I got the
impression that the shape of the object was oval. I estimate its altitude
at approx. 150-200 feet.
-
- Holding my hand stretched out in front of me, with fingers
pointing up, I estimate that from light to light, the distance between
these two lights would have spanned my hand from little finger to thumb.
As I watched and only a second or two later the object appeared to "explode"
with a blinding white light, (the size of the explosion would be about
the size of a pie plate held at arms length) the object then accelerated
at an unbelievable rate of speed and departed, parallel to the ground,
in a Northerly direction.
-
- There was no noise at any time emitted from this object,
nor when it "exploded". Because neither my husband nor daughter
was looking in that direction, neither saw the object. I alerted them to
the object and we all ran outside looking for any sign of it. After about
10 minutes of looking, we all three gave up and returned to the living
room. Just as we began to sit down once again, my husband stated that he
heard the sounds of helicopters coming in. All of us went to the back yard
once again and watched as two helicopters, moving from the North-west and
proceeding in a South-east direction.
-
- My husband who is former Air Force identified these helicopters
as military types. Although it was dark and the outlines of the choppers
were indistinct they were both about the size of Blackhawks, maybe larger.
-
- We could see that as the Helicopters approached in tandem,
they flew directly over the area where I witnessed the object "explode"
The helicopters were moving very slowly (estimated speed of perhaps 50
miles per hour) and I would estimate their altitude at 200-300 feet. They
proceeded to pass our house just to the South and continued flying South-east.
Although there is much military air-traffic in this area, and we have witnessed
many helicopters in flight, we have never seen them fly this route, nor
at this slow of speed, especially during the night.
-
- Thank you to the witness for an excellent sighting report.

- Fort Collins, Colorado A Cylinder Shaped UFO And Four
Ball Of Light
-
- Date: March 14, 2009
- Time: 4:30 pm-6:30 pm
-
- Location of Sighting: Ft Collins, CO, USA.
- Number of witnesses: 4, 1 Several sightings
- Number of Objects: 5
- Shape of Objects: 4 balls of light 1 cylinder.
-
- Full Description of Event/Sighting: #1 My friends and
I were sitting at Avos (restaurant)back patio at 4:30pm. I looked up and
saw a shiny object high up in the sky, approx. 70 degrees above us. Clear
sky. No wind. It flickered and jerked to the left then back again. I became
excited and made everybody look. They were 7 of us, 4 for sure saw it.
Everybody else could've cared less but I knew what I was looking at. I
watched for 5 minutes as it moved erratically, staying in one central area.
Nobody had a camera with them. I ran inside to see if anyone else had a
camera, no one did. Came back outside and object was gone.
-
- #2 (same time location)Still looking in the same area
when this cylinder comes cruising by! My jaw dropped. It was going fast
and flipped end-over-end several times before going out view in a westward
direction.Very cool. Had a dull white color and was clearly a cylinder.
-
- 3/4 Same day approx. 6pm filed a report with MUFON on
sighting, went out on my deck to have a beer. Looked to NE and saw 2 balls
of light side by side moving fast to the NE. Ran inside to get video camera,
came back out, object were gone.
-
- 5 Still standing on deck about 10 minutes later and saw
a bright light like the first one I saw in the NE direction. Had my video
camera with me and managed to get it for about 1 minute! I was using a
neighbors tree as my reference point. This light was still then moves to
the right and then swoops down. At one point you can see it dart back to
the left then to the right. Cool! I could not see it in the view finder
as I was looking into a clear blue sky but like I said I used the branches
to locate it. The camera focused on the branches but you can still see
this object which moved to the SE before I lost view of it.
-
- Very exciting afternoon for me! I have another video
of a bright orb from several years ago. I don't know how to put these onto
a computer (pathetic I know) but if you're interested I'll figure it out.
I've had many sightings since living in Ft Collins, Colorado and they are
all daytime. Something's going on around here. Thank you for website and
all your efforts pertaining to this matter. You are a hero in my eyes!
-
- Thank you so much to the witness for their sighting report
and them taking the time to give me a phone call.

Westbury On Trym Bristol UK 15 Orange Colored Lights
Date: March 14, 2009
Time: 11:55 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Westbury-on-trym Bristol UK
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of Objects: 15 (ish)
Shape of Objects: Round.
Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was driving home
from my girlfriend's house down Henleaze Rd Bristol. I suddenly noticed
several large orange (fire like) lights slowly moving across the sky line
. I turn the corner to and saw a car parked with a elderly man in the driving
seat and a woman with a camera stood on the pavement (side walk) .I stopped
the car and got out. I asked them both what they thought the lights were.
The guy in the car said he thought it was "Buddhist Lanterns"
similar to what he had seen in Spain on a recent holiday, but the woman
(who turned out to be his wife) said she thought the lights were UFOs.
I have never seen anything like it in my life and can't understand why
others have not reported this sighting. The balls of light were pretty
large and moving as fast as a low flying plane. I am a respectable professional
man who has no metal health issues and was stone cold sober.
Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

- Hempstead Kent UK 7 Glowing Lights
- Date: March 14, 2009
- Time: 7:30 - 7:45 p.m.
On Saturday 14/03/09 at 7:30-45pm I was travelling
by car with 3 friends and my young son and we saw 7 glowing light
suspended just above the roof tops in a residential street in Hempstead
Kent (a few miles away from Lordswood re earlier report on your website)
The lights hug silently and were orange and looked like
street lights- my friend thinks the lights were shaped like inverted
triangles, they did not flicker as you would expect a lantern to do. I
was too busy rooting around for my camera, unfortunately, within less than
a minute of our sighting the lights began to disappear and I was unable
to capture on film. A number of people were gathered on the pavement
watching the spectacle so I assume that the lights had been there
for some time before we arrived.
I reported the incident to Kent Online (local online newspaper) and
I have asked around only to find 2 other people who saw them at around
the same time,again over Hempstead. I was therefore very interested to
see that they also appeared above Lordswood (the next town along) the same
night.
I hope that this is helpful - I would love to know what
they were. Regards.
Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

- Strathroy, Ontario, Canada Seven Triangular Shaped UFOs

- Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was taking my dog
outside and was in my backyard. It was a clear night and I had been out
for a few minutes when something caught the corner of eye in the sky. I
looked up and saw 7 triangle shaped lights. They were bigger and brighter
than the stars. 3 of the 7 triangle lights actually formed a triangle shape
and the 4 remaining were formed in a straight line horizontal to the triangle
shape the other 3 had formed but below it a bit. There was no noise and
they glided across the sky and then suddenly faded. Just before they faded
I noticed that the 4 lights that had been horizontal to the 3 that formed
the triangle moved up closer to the same level as the triangle shape. It
lasted approximately 10-15 seconds. It was nothing I had ever seen before
and the shapes of the lights were distinctly triangle and bright.

- Phoenix, Arizona Jet Aircraft Approaches Unknown Object
- Date: March 16, 2009
- Time: 12:50 p.m.
Today, Monday March 16, 2009 I received a phone call from
a nice fellow who asked if I had received any kind of sighting reports
for Phoenix, Arizona today. I hadn't and told the fellow so. He went on
to explain that he observed something he thought to be a bit unusual. An
object in the shape of a eraser on the end of a pencil flew across the
sky, no contrail could be seen and it was observed for approximately 10
minutes. Just before it vanished, the man noticed a fast moving jet aircraft
moving in the direction of the object he had been watching. As soon as
the jet got close to the unknown it just disappeared. Should note that
the jet aircraft had a contrail visible. If anyone had seen anything in
Phoenix, Arizona for this date and time, would you please pass along the
information as I sure would like to know and the witness also is looking
for an answer to what he saw.
Additional Information:
Greetings Mr. Vike, we had spoken about a sighting in
the Phoenix area my name is (full name removed) I live in the down
town Phoenix area and I am in the (removed) studying as an intern.
Thank you for taking your time and listening to what I saw at approximately
12:50 pm mountain standard time. If you hear of anything, please let me
know. Also would be interested in the Bigfoot sighting you told me about.
Again thank you for your time.

- UFOs Over Long Beach, California
- Date: March 17, 2009
- Time: 7:59 p.m.
- Location of Sighting: Long Beach, CA, USA.
- Number of witnesses: 9, actually!
- Number of Objects: 1 or more
- Shape of Objects: Shape-shifted.
Full Description of Event/Sighting: From 7:59 to 8:25pm
on March 17th, 2009 (forgot DST on the camera, so time shows an hour earlier),
my sons and I saw another UFO in the skies over Long Beach, California.
We were in the backyard of our home taking pictures of whatever might look
interesting, as sky-watching is our hobby. We do it at least 5 days a week
to relax after a long day and I've been teaching them the constellations.
I then noticed something that didn't fit what we've come to know as a terrestrial
craft, whether a jet, prop or experimental aircraft. There was an object
that was going from the west to the east and there was no red light visible
(FAA REG) as with all other aircraft taking off from the airport. Then
it started to hover and immediately changed direction and again did not
have the FAA green light on its opposite side.
I have almost 60 photos of this sighting and you really
must see them all to be able to appreciate what is going on here. From
my vantage point of about a mile off of the Pacific coast, this craft was
hovering on the southern horizon, probably above the electric company at
the corner of Studebaker and 2nd Street/Westminster. After hovering, the
craft would then make 160-180 degree turns going east, then west, then
repeating while slowly drifting further south - over the Pacific Ocean
- towards the famed "Redondo Trench". This went on, as can be
seen in the properties of my photos, for 26 full minutes.
At the time of our sighting this time, it was not clear
what shape the object actually was until the photos were analyzed upon
download to my computer and even then, it seemed only the lights were visible.
As far as structure and the apparent "shape-shifting abilities",
this was one spectacular sighting! However it didn't beat the Triangle
"Mothership" we all saw last November 12th, and I don't think
anything else could! That was reported the same day on UFO Northwest, if
you are interested.
Anyway, I took a few "real-time" photos of the
craft, but didn't want to "waste" the pictures and knew the only
way to be sure to "get proof" was to take timed shots, so - as
a result - most of the almost 60 photos I shot were 8 second exposures
at a F 2.5 setting with an exposure value at +2.00 (the highest my camera
goes) and certainly showing the true colors of the crafts lights and its
flight pattern/path. I used a high-pixel, Sony Cybershot digital camera
and did not alter the originals at all! I have kept their integrity to
help you to prove or disprove whatever it was that caused more than ten
helicopters to be in the air after it disappeared, and caused them to refuel
and return to the search for the next 2 hours or so. The light appeared
to be of whitish/yellow color with a bit of red from time to time, and
what got my attention was that the lights and colors did not match the
FAA regulations with regards to Red on the left and green on the right
and white lights that blink 40x per minute. This thing pulsed and then
stayed lit.
Then it blinked white lights fast and then went back to
pulsing again only to follow it with another blast of bright, solid light
for another thirty to sixty seconds. From where I was, it looked like a
saucer, then looked like 2 doing maneuvers together. Then it looked like
two orbs that were connected somehow, then "shape-shifting" into
something else... more square-round.
I would also like to mention that based on the photos
I have taken, I have reason to believe their may have been more than one
craft in the sky last night, too. Several shots seem to show what could
be mistaken for stars, but upon closer inspection, can be seen to have
the same color coding/ shading as the initial craft and in two of my photos,
it looks as if their are 2 saucers of another shape that might even be
a couple of boomerangs, but on a timed photo, it is hard to tell. You are
the experts and I do hope that my final disclosure to you will help figure
out what is happening on our planet.
Well, this was absolutely incredible, but did not come
close to others I and my family have had and would like to talk with an
investigator about. Last night, there were a total of 7 of us and an 8th
joined in at the last minute, that witnessed this sighting and the after-effects.
Only three of us saw it for the first 20 minutes or so, because I was getting
pictures while the boys watched and tried to get neighbors out to see it,
too.
What else is interesting is that on March 11th, 2009,
there was little to no usual traffic going into or out of Long Beach Airport
and around 8:18pm, seven military and police/civilian helicopters flew
over our house, seeming to be looking for something on the ground. They
flew rather slowly, from west to east and then took a more southerly direction
when above Seal Beach, moving towards the Huntington Beach Area.
- Scary thing? I took photos of them, too as soon as I
heard them coming and watched them go and the first shot set off the flash
which seemingly caused one of the helicopters to turn on and shine a searchlight
on us! I had the kids shut off the lights in and outside of the house,
got to my computer and downloaded them as soon as I could - just in case
I got something I wasn't supposed to have.
- I would most certainly like to speak with an investigator,
especially since I've had multiple sightings (as has my eldest son) over
the last many years and would like to finally share some of them with anyone
willing to listen. I am beginning to fear whatever the heck is going on
and there IS something going on. Especially here in Long Beach, California.
- Again, I have over 60 photos (most at 8 second exposures
- to capture the colors and the movement) and an audio tape of the
fiasco of the sighting while shooting the pics, if you'd like them. Just
let me know how to get them to you! Thank you for your time.
- Thank you to the witness for a great sighting report.
also I will be requesting the material the witness has and will be calling
him over the weekend.
