Greenish Blue Light Near Sugar Mountain Ski Resort In Banner Elk North Carolina

Date: October 1999

Time: Between 8:00 and 10:00 p.m.

My husband and I live in the mountains of NC and have witnessed exactly the same thing as described on your blog on two different occasions, years apart. If you have any updates or information on what this could be or links to any other eyewitness accounts of such an occurrence please pass the info. on. It's so strange to see it happen. Definitely not a meteor shooting horizontally or at an angle across the sky.

Both times the object seemed to appear out of nowhere, drawing our attention long enough to see it hover then drop straight down. The first time we actually drove as close to the location that we thought the object had fallen as we could to see if a plane or helicopter had crashed and found nothing.

We both knew it looked like nothing we would imagine a crash would look like, though, but wanted to think as logically as we could about what we had seen. The first incident happened over and almost directly in front of Sugar Mountain Ski Resort which is mildly populated. The second appeared over a rural section of mountains, sparsely populated, and we saw both while riding in our vehicle. We have since witnessed green shooting stars which are amazing to see, but look nothing like the other two objects.
Thanks for any other info. you may have.

Additional Information:

No, been kicking ourselves for not thinking to record the date and times. I can say that the first was in October of '99 near Sugar Mountain Ski Resort in Banner Elk, NC, above and almost directly in front of the slope itself. I'm thinking we were trick or treating with our son so that would make it Halloween and it seems it was later in the evening between 8:00 and 10:00pm. It was either '99 or '98 I know because both of those yrs. we flew from Washington state to visit family at that time.

The second, all I can say is winter, between '04 and '08 just west (south?) of Waynesville, NC heading west on highway 23/74. That's either in Jackson Cty. or Haywood Cty., not sure if we had crossed the line there or not. Hope that helps and thanks for responding. I have only found two other stories of anyone seeing such a thing and that was a few yrs. ago probably right after the second sighting. I found some reports on a UFO sighting website where it had been seen in the North Georgia mtns. and in the mtns. of Alabama. They described it as green. The second we saw was more blue. I figured it was a southern mtn. thing, but not if it was seen in California. I can't remember the name of the website, but it was based in Seattle.

Two Bright Orange Balls Of Light Over Asheville North Carolina

Date: January 3, 2011

Time: Approx: 9:30 p.m.

My name is (name removed) and I was out looking into the clear sky tonight on January 3, 2011 because I heard someone say that a meteor shower was supposed to happen tonight at 8:00pm. I went outside around 9:30pm and unfortunately saw nothing. I then proceeded to go to the street and check again and I saw two bright orange balls of light in a fixed row position.

I knew they weren't stars because they were moving, but I also knew they weren't meteors because the were moving way to slow to be part of a meteor shower. I also knew they weren't airplanes because they were orange and they were not flashing or they did not display any other colors. I would really like to know if I saw a real UFO or just a satellite or something like that. Thanks.

Bright Light At Waters Road Inman South Carolina

Date: December 17, 2010

Time: 4:00 a.m. until 5:15 a.m.

Location of Sighting: Waters Road Inman South Carolina.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Bright light.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: My friend and I were outside when he noticed a bright light in the sky and asked what it might be. It was the brightest thing in the sky, brighter than any star I have ever seen. At first I thought it was a plane with it's headlights pointed in our direction, but it was not moving.

We watched it for about 15 minutes, then decided to try and drive to it because from where we were, it seemed only a few hundred yards off the ground and maybe a mile or so away. We drove southeast towards the object on Asheville Highway, but as we felt like we should be getting closer, it wasn't getting closer to us.

We turned around and went back to my house where we continued to watch it. It did seem to move on one occasion diagonally then stopped again. It didn't move like a satellite or a plane. Very different from a helicopter. It wasn't swamp gas.

Object Looked Like Flickering Ball Of Flames Over Asheville North Carolina

Date: November 19, 2010
Time: Approx: 5:00 p.m.

On November 19, 2010 I was driving westbound on Smokey Park Highway in west Asheville, NC and stopped at light turning left (south) on 151 (Pisgah Highway) when I noticed a dual jet trail (It looked like a high altitude jet trail) streaming through the sky heading for what looked like a crash.

It continued in it’s downward motion headed in a SW motion and seemingly straight down.

I thought there was going to be a crash in the forest near my house. When I first noticed it at 5:00pm there were 2 other planes that flew nearby it from two directions. I watched it for 6-9 minutes driving S on 151 until it dipped behind a mountain looking like a flickering ball of flames (no trail at this point).

I called the police and fire departments and there were no other reports and the only other report I found was from someone in Texas that witnessed it 30 minutes after me. Maybe an hour and half (time change, not sure on that)
I was told it was a meteorite, maybe. I'm not sure. I used to live on the Space coast in FL and it reminded me more of a shuttle. I don't know what I witnessed.

I would have totally believed it was a meteorite if it weren't for the two trails 'tails' behind it. What do you think?

Orange Ball Of Light Over Asheville North Carolina

Date: November 19, 2010

Time: 9:30 p.m.

At 9:30pm an orange fireball gets closer and is an orange globe shaped, basketball with a color at the bottom moving east to west. It goes by slowly and is clearly visible for 120 seconds. When it gets even with me, I could see through the membrane and see other colors and hues. It was not large, not much bigger than a basketball from my vantage point.

First I've ever seen. Called the airport but really reported to nobody, but I assure you it was a UFO.

Red Orange UFO Over Whittier North Carolina

Date: October 13, 2010

Time: Around 11:15 to 11:20 p.m.

Just now I was turning off lights getting ready to head for bed and as I walked past doors to deck I noticed a strange red glow to the SW. I picked up my binoculars and saw what appeared to be a red orange ball vanishing off into the distance. I live up on a mountain and have a clear view to the south and west, but there are lower ridge tops and it could have been sinking behind them. It was large when I first noticed it, but within a minute it was completely gone.

Additional Information:

Hi Brian, I live on the side of a mountain in Whittier, NC which is west of Asheville about 60 miles. I am very close to Cherokee. My deck faces southwest and what I saw was a little south of due west. I saw it around 11:15 to 11:20 PM just as I was turning off lights for the night. At first I thought it might be a large fire on the top of one the smaller hills I can look over, but when I looked through the glasses it looked more like something behind the hill and that was making it looked curved on the bottom.

It was very large when I first saw it, but almost immediately became much smaller and soon vanished. It was more like it was moving away from me at a very high rate of speed. We have had rain the past few days and that made me doubt that it might be a fire, and the way it vanished so quickly and the size it would have to have been for me to see it at that distance (several miles) also kept me from seriously considering that it was a fire.

I am a retired school teacher and was married to an Air Force pilot, lived in Florida for over 20 years and have seen several shuttle launchings from far away. This was much closer, much brighter, and much faster. I can see some homes about as far away as this was and the object I saw would have been much larger and would have been a little farther as I think it was behind one of the smaller hills.

I am thinking that because the shape had a curve (concave, like a scoop out of the bottom of a ball) that was probably caused by the hill in my sight line. The two things that struck me the most was how bright it was with two colors, red and orange, and how fast it vanished. I didn’t even have time to turn my camera on.

When the mist clears I will take a picture of the area I am talking about and send it to you. Please let me know if anyone else saw anything like this.

Time: Approx: 9:00 p.m.

Hello, my my sister, my daughter, and I saw about 12-15 orange balls in the sky moving from N.E. to S.W. spread apart like a flight pattern. there were sometimes 2 at a time, but mostly 1 at a time. there wasn't any sound like an engine of a plane.

They were moving like they were floating across the sky each one went exactly in the same pattern. It took about 15 minutes. They were flickering like they were on fire. I did manage to get a picture of one of them. Its an orange/red colored ball.

I wasn't sure if it was some kind of meteor or comet? We are in Mauldin South Carolina, that's in the upstate by Greenville South Carolina. south of Asheville N.C. I haven't found anything about this on the computer or in the news. Thank you.
