Date: Early August 2010
Time: Around 10:00 – 12:00 a.m.

Hey there, had a similar sighting early August of last summer in Columbia station before I moved to Colorado, after Google searching finding similar reports I'm even more dumbfounded now. I don't remember the date it, but it was around 10:00 - 12:00am. I was driving down route 252 and right before Snell road when my girlfriend and I spotted a red hovering flame looking objects.

It looked like a giant lighter flame flickering. I’m already believing in such things, I turned down Snell and the object seemed to be hovering maybe 100 feet in the air.

I could tell from how it started traveling down the road, suddenly it stopped hovering, moved over the field directly across my path. I partly drove under it and got out of my car to watch, it stopped moving moments later then it seemed to either move directly away from me or dim out then disappeared.

The next day a friend asked me if I saw anything, not knowing of what I saw, his sighting was very similar only on Sprague and station.

Hopes this info helps.

Date: October 2000
Time: Between 10:00 and 11:00 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Round.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: This night I were looking out of my front door at this bright light coming my way, so I decided to take a closer look, and my god there it was a flying saucer. This thing was so close, that if I were on the roof of my house I could have touched it. It were about a football field in length. My brother and I came closer to it, until I became afraid and turned around and went back on the porch and watched it from a distance.

This thing made no sound and had many lights. It were just moving kind of side to side. The tree top as I remember didn't move and I don't believe it was man made.

At the bottom of it, it looked like if it were made in some science fiction movie, but I saw this with my own eyes and so did my brother. I am still afraid to speak about that night, because people will say you are crazy or lying. I mean this happened right here in central Mississippi.

The lights were blinking one or two at a time. There were no windows and the shape was round and thin moving at about 10 miles per hour heading toward North Greenwood, Mississippi.

Time: Evening.

Brian, my husband, brother in law, and my self were all outside and saw exactly what you described tonight. We are in North Georgia. We called the news and they checked the FAA, but no drills or anything was going on. Then as we watched the lights disappear, we literally saw anywhere from 20-30 planes take off from the same direction and head in the direction of the lights.

Note: We do live right near an AFB. Some of those planes we watched even went dark. Very strange. We have friends in the military, we called them, but they said they didn’t know of anything, but sounded weird like they couldn't talk.

Just thought you'd like to know yall weren’t the only ones who saw that. Wish we new what it was.

Date: Around December 1, 2010
Time: Evening astronomical twilight.

Location of Sighting: 3 miles north of Selma Alabama.
Number of witnesses: 3 (Brothers)
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Circular.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: My brother put his head in the door to tell my other brother and I that the International Space Station is going to make a fly over.

When we get outside, I was ask "What's that star over there", being an amateur astronomer for over twenty-five years I had immediately noticed as soon as I got out doors that Venus was conspicuously bright in the South West sky. As high and bright as it gets I had noticed it's bright blue white color and it's position approximately forty degrees above the SW horizon along the ecliptic. I tell them what it is and continue setting up my camera and tripod. The station comes over and the evening is uneventful.

Two days later it hits me that Venus is not in the Western sky now, at that time I wasn't keeping up with the planetary positions but had been out looking at the sky a couple of days earlier. Sure enough I open my astronomy software and see that Venus is close to the Sol in the morning sky.

There I was with my camera on a tripod with a stationary UFO and didn't get any pictures. I have plenty of Pictures of Venus and waiting to get an image of the ISS I didn't want to setup my camera for Venus when the Station was about to come over.

Too bad I missed this opportunity because I could have gotten some great photos of the object all that would have been seen though would have been a light source in the night sky. I would have liked to get a look at it with my eight inch Schmidt Cassegrain scope.

Observations:

1. The Object looked stellar (outside the atmosphere).
2. The Object must have been using a lot of energy to put out that much light.
3. Position 40 degrees above SW horizon along the Ecliptic.
4. Looked exactly like Venus, Color, Brilliance were the same.It was positioned along the ecliptic.
5. Object was not Jupiter, Mars, Sirius, or any of the other bright stars around Orion,
6. Three Witnesses.

Time: Approx: 9:40 p.m.

Hey Brian, I just read on your website about some reports of strange lights over Lake Elsinore/Murriteta last night (Jan 6th). Just wanted to let you know that my girlfriend and I saw the same thing. We were driving south on the 15 around 9:40 pm just north of Elsinore and we saw a streak of light falling from the sky.

It started to break up, so we thought it was a meteor or something, but then it broke up into three segments and each of these pieces seemed to be suspended in mid-air. They formed a triangle and seemed to just sit there for a while. We passed behind a hill and when we looked again, the lights were gone.

It's very possible that these were skydivers but still, I've never seen anything like this ever before. If you figure out what it is, I'd love to know!

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.

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.

Time: Around 4:45 a.m. – 5:00 a.m.

Hi, I had a sighting on December 6, 2010. It looks like a bit north of New York city. I woke up around 4:45 – 5:00am and saw the UFOs. For some reason I don't remember much about it from when I was taking the video, but I took a video of it when it was happening.

There is also a webcam that saw UFOs flying over the same area. I'm not sure how many other people saw it, I didn't go around asking. The webcam was located about 50 yards to the east of me. I have attached a link to the YouTube video.

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?

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.

Date: October 16, 2010
Time: Approx: 10:30 p.m.

North of Lebanon, OH moving southwest to northeast; fairly low altitude (10k?) no noise. Obviously not air traffic (no red or blue port/starboard markings, no flashing red beacon). Moving in a relatively straight line in groups of two or three separated by a couple moments per group, ending around 2230 EST 10-16-10 (tonight).

A total of maybe 25 objects spanning 3 hours witnessed by a group of 15 people at a backyard bonfire. I captured several on video, but they are fairly non descript as it is dark and had no reference to the objects in the video. Just the objects at various zoom (18x max) moving across the dark.

Glowing orange, slow moving, steady pace and direction. Generally one in the lead followed by two. The two had a course that varied in distance from one another as they trailed the first. Not intensely bright as they faded long before they reached the horizon as they moved away. There pace was too quick and direction too steady to be candles/balloons launched as party favors, etc.

Please let me know if you have any ideas. I am 42, worked on FA 18's for 4 years and I am clueless as to what these may have been.

Time: Approx: 11:30 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Dry Bridge Rd North Kingstown.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Round.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was laying in bed one night watching TV, when out of the corner of my eye and out the window was a very bright light. And it seemed to move away in seconds back up into the sky. I lay there watching it, not really sure of what I was seeing.

It moved in a triangle pattern as if it was going from star to star. Now where I live there are turf farms all around me, and it's like a airplane highway. So I assure you I know what airplane lights look like at night and I've seen enough of them in the 13 years that I've lived here. This was no airplane or satellite.

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: Evening.

Hello Brian, I sent you an e-mail on September, in regard to an UFO I saw. This last Sunday night I saw the same object at the same sky location I saw it the first time. I really would like to know if what I saw is for real. The first time I saw a UFO was years ago, in an affluent resort area surrounded by lakes in Valle de Bravo, Estado de Mexico.

When I saw that red bright UFO I thought it was an airplane, seconds later that object moved at an incredible speed, remained at the same spot above the lake in front of the terrace I was, and seconds later it flew away at a incredible speed. I began to scream to my wife to get out of the house and see it, and she saw it too...(That's why every time I related that event, I always pointed out that I had a witness).

Now I want to know exactly what it is that I am looking at: above (in the sky) the mountains at the same latitude and altitude. Like in the first time I saw it, I thought it could be a helicopter at a great altitude, but then it moved upward to another spot to stay there for a long, long time, so I decided to go to bed. I think it's an UFO, but I can be wrong. If you have somebody in this area I can show exactly from the window in my office at home the location to make sure of what it is.

Time: Early morning, dim light.

Location of Sighting: North Central Indiana.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of Objects: 7 - 8.
Shape of Objects: Round.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I am reporting a sighting that my parents and brother-in-law saw this weekend. My brother-in-law was traveling in the dim morning light when he saw 7-8 round orange lights in the sky arranged in a pattern. He quickly pulled into my parents place so that they could see them too, and so that people would not think he was teasing.

My dad and mom came outside and were able to see 2 of the remaining orange lights in the sky. My mom said it was clear. I know she is right because we were traveling very near there when the sun was coming up that morning and the skies were clear. She described the lights as appearing stationary, orange, and larger than stars.

All three of them watched as the remaining 2 lights dimmed and faded from view. Did anyone else see this in the area? I am reporting this because I know they likely will not. I find this fascinating and wish I knew what they were!

This is very urgent. I was working tonight and at about 11:00pm my co-workers and I saw 4 lights cruising at the same speed in the east southeast position traveling northeast. It seemed as if there were two sets and the two lights were connected vertically.

I wish I could draw a picture as it was disturbing because the horizontal lights were completely aligned with each other moving at the same speed and giving off a fire-like glow. Reddish-orange.

Please respond immediately because it was crazy and it just happened. Thank you.

I too have seen these objects on several occasions beginning this past summer. My wife and son have seen them too.

We saw them last night, October 9, 2010 over North Attleboro. I took some video and some photos using a strong telephoto lens, then cropped in on the object.

There were at least 12 that floated over our house in a north to south direction at about 7:00pm.


I posted the photo on my Facebook page and got several responses, most wondering what they were.

I finally found the answer. They are hot air paper balloons.

Someone has a hobby. Don't know where they are launched from though.

Check out this YouTube video found on the net: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcGP0hdq13w&feature=related

Attached is the photo I took.

Thank you to the witness for sending along a good photo of the object. (Chinese Lantern)
