Event Description:

This happened quite a few years ago, so slightly fuzzy, but..
I was driving my daughter and 2 of her friends (ages 15 and 16)  to a show in Syosset (Long Island, NY).
Driving west on Jericho Turnpike we first noticed this object in the sky, hovering, silently, to our left - I'm not good with distance, but it was above the tree line, and very large (it was the color of the sky, somewhat greyish blue).

We first noticed it at Elwood Road and Jericho Turnpike and it followed us west on Jericho Turnpike for about 20 minutes, stopping when we stopped at a traffic light. 
 Other cars and drivers saw it also because we noticed cars pulled over on the side of the road, drivers looking up. 

This was before we all had cell phones so there was no way to contact anyone at the time. 
 When I got to my destination in Syosset, I pulled into the parking lot, we all got out of the car and looked up, watching this thing very slowly travel further west. 

The kids then went into their show (quite befuddled, I'm sure) and I stayed in the parking lot, watching this thing head west, then southwest until it disappeared.

It was in my line of view for at least 30 minutes.  Totally silent, lights around the edge of the thing.  I'm so sorry now that we never reported it (would have been nice to have a date of the sighting).

 We checked all the newspapers and news shows - found no report. 
My daughter and I were discussing this the other night (8 years after the fact) and thought we out to document it.  We felt a little fearful at the time, but mostly fascinated.

Event Description:

I've always been sort of a night-owl, so it's nothing new for me to be out late at night.  This night was like any other early spring night.  Owls, cats, the occasional dog, an of course a huge surplus of crickets.
I was sitting out in a friend of mine's parents backyard with his cousin just talking and enjoying the night when I noticed a star that was brighter than the rest and I started to watch it through the tree for a few minutes.  I was having trouble paying attention to the conversation and the star at the same time, so I turned away from it and faced my friends.
A few minutes later, my first friend, let's call him Joe, stood up and walked out to the other side of the tree and started to look up at the night sky.  He kept staring up there, talking the whole while, then he asked us if we saw that bright light.
It wasn't until this point that I noticed the star wasn't quite a steady light...but that it was sort of cycling through a spectrum of colors that all blended in the center to appear white.  Although the colors could be clearly seen if you looked at the outer edges.
So there we were, Joe, (let's call this one Sam) Sam, and I.  I being the youngest at 22.  All of us standing in the middle of a backyard, just staring at this light, when it began to move slowly.  It was barely noticeable at first.  But when the branches of the trees would start to block the light, and I had to move just to be able to keep watching it, all doubts I had about whether or not it was moving were gone.
Initially it was...roughly straight in front of me, about 60° up, at an angle.  Sort of blending in with the constellations.  As we continued to watch it, the light went from above the neighbors house, and behind a tree, to behind a completely different tree, and also being hidden at times by the neighbors house itself.  The light was not moving in any pattern that I could place.  I would sit still for minutes at a time, then jump an inch or so left in the sky so fast that it had a tracer following behind it.  The light would sit still, then jump left, then jump back right and diagonal down, and immediately after it would make a full circle before sitting still again.
After a while of the three of us talking about it, we came across the idea that there might be more, and started to look around.  Back near the position that the first light was originally in, only farther off to the north, was another light of the same description, this one moving steadily towards the southern sky, towards the other light.
Off to the east, there was one more behind a line of trees, moving southwest towards the first light as well.  Only this one was moving much slower.
I turned around to check my "flank", and there was a solitary light sitting in the middle of a clearing in the sky.  No other lights were nearby, but this one was not moving at all.
We began to talk about what we were seeing again.  The basic "you're seeing this too, right?" type stuff.  And trying to come up with any sort of explanation for what it could be, to no avail.  Then out of nowhere comes this insane sound.  Sort of like a clacking of the tongue?  Only much louder and deeper than I can get mine to make.  There was a sort of....other sound...I can't describe it, then two clacking sounds, and then everything was silent.
For a few moments I had nearly convinced myself that it was in my head.  I stopped watching the lights and looked straight at my two friends.  Sam looked at me and saw me looking at him, then turned right around.  Then Joe turns around and asked "did you just say something?"
We talked for a few seconds and agreed that it sounded like it came from the shadow in the corner of the yard behind me (or behind the fence, just in that general direction).  That's when all the crickets started chirping again.  And that's also when the whole mood of the experience shifted.
If you've ever lived in the country, you know that crickets basically don't stop chirping for anything, unless they feel threatened, or they're busy.  And for ALL of them to stop at once is an extremely rare thing.
The three of us walked out the gate and around the corner into the alley to check on things, but nothing was there.  Nothing but an apparent wall of cold.  As I stepped through the gate to the front of the house, it felt as if the temperature dropped at least 10 degrees, because I suddenly started shivering even though there wasn't any wind.  I didn't hear anything 'leave', either.  And with a gravel alleyway that isn't very easy to miss.
After a few minutes and a few cigarettes, we gave up on our search and went back to the yard.  The temperature returned to normal, or at least I wasn't shivering anymore.
I noticed that the first light, the one that was hiding behind the house a few minutes before, was now farther up in the sky, and visible once again.  The one off to the east had stopped at the edge of the tree it was working on passing, and the one off to the other side was sitting still in the middle of the tree that helped me notice that the first tree was moving initially.
The one behind us was still in it's original position, and the other three were sitting there not moving.  Just cycling through the colors, now a full 40 minutes later into the night.
To my surprise, a fifth light was now out right in the open, moving away from the first light, looking like it was going lower and lower in the sky, and moving with insane speeds.  At the nearest possibility, the lights were about 10 miles out.  But this light moved from a good 4-5 inches away from a light post, to right behind it, to off on the right side (it was moving left to right) of the pole.  All in about a minute at most?
All throughout the rest of the night
We tried to find binoculars or something in the garage, but to no avail.  Altogether we watched these lights for about an hour and a half.
Every time the three of us have spoken to each other about this since, "what did that noise sound like to you"  etc, I can hear sounds coming from outside...like twigs breaking on the other side of the fence.  Or a bush rustling, things like that.
And the lights are still there in the middle of the night....blending in amongst the stars.

Event Description:

Ok I am known to be a very honest person and have never seen anything like this in my life.

I was driving (sober) to my friends house down Rio Salado Rd. in Tempe to go to the Villagio right off of the 101 coming from Rural Rd.
As I was travelling east I was playing my music as usual and checking my phone to see if my friend was mad at me that I was late because we were getting ready to go out. It was about 9:35ish.

As I was driving crossing Karsten's golf course on my right, I caught a bright light in the corner of my eye toward the left panel of my drivers side. My windows are tinted but I looked at it glancing back and forth from the road seeing something very unordinary.
I rolled my window down, and looked in my rear view mirror to make sure no cars were coming so I could slow down and look at this more clearly.
From the distance looking toward the 101 N entrance, I saw a "side ways lemon shaped bright figure".

This was no plane landing into Sky Harbor Airport even though it seemed to be flying west parallel to Rio Salado Parkway.
This was very very bright, and would be shown in the sky, then skip and disappear, then show itself again.
This aircraft must have moved at least, and I emphasize, at least 10x's faster then a regular aircraft and could have been 10x's as big.

I've lived around Sun Devil Stadium for about 5 years now and seen F1 air jets fly over and hundreds and hundreds of planes taking off and landing both very low and high but this was DIFFERENT.
 I almost pulled up on the curb going about 25 miles an hour because I was so freaked out by this phenomenon but this craft was moving so fast that before I could even reach McKlintalk It was past the Smith Barney building on the lake in the north distance.

As this was happening I did try to get my phone to take a picture but I don't even think I could have captured it because it was happening so fast and my Voyager Verizon Cellphone takes a second to bring up the Camera.
Yes, this sounds like it could have been a reflection or a plane landing into Sky Harbor, BUT it was constantly parallel to the sky and way north of my car.
 I probably slowed to about 10 miles per hour on the 35mph street, and listened for noise sticking my head out the window but there was none.
As it passed to a point where I couldn't keep looking at it because I was driving, I got a shiver through my body and quickly thought about who to call first.
As I looked back up to the road I notice I had a light reflection in my eye as if I had just looked up at the sun. I know everyone who reads this knows what I'm talking about because it's that little spot that moves uncontrollably as you look at things and doesn't go away for a while.
 I quickly called my friend who I was visiting in Villagio, and then quickly called my sister.

Now there is no explanation to this but I can say that I am an open believer about UFO's and extra- terrestrials because I think the government keeps many many things away from us.

This was no plane, no reflection, no Mach1 jet, no shooting star, no fireworks, but something extremely different.
I looked online and found pictures and I saw one that looks exactly what I'm talking about that someone might have captured in the past.
If people ask why I didn't post it right away, it's because I didn't know where to go. Yes, I did think about dialling 911, or calling the news, but I was afraid that someone would threaten me or make sure that this experience couldn't be shared.
Hopefully someone else saw the same thing on the same night because I know I can't be the only one.

Event Description:

My partner and I saw two orange orbs in the sky.

One went up, the other went down.
The one that went down was larger.
The smaller one was travelling at a fast rate in a straight line over our house and out of sight.

The larger one seemed to just vanish downwards.
We managed to get a short video clip of the second object going up but we weren't in time for the larger one.
We went round the front of our house after it went out of sight but couldn't find it again.

Event Description:

The day was actually when Princess Diana's death was announced.
Here I can only describe an episode where I acknowledge that a period of unexplainable lapsed-time had occurred, whilst driving home around midnight, from a country town, forty kilometres west of my destination, Newcastle.

I could say that if anything did occur, it would most probably would have had occurred whilst I elected to take a shortcut traversing a deserted dirt road, between cattle grazing fields, with a somewhat large reservoir to one side and up upon a nearby hill can be seen two large television transmission towers.
Upon returning home I remember being amazed in noticing the drive had actually taken longer than expected. At least an hour longer than one would assume for the distance.
I have no recollection of anything out of the normal except for the awareness toward the unexplainable time-lapse.
I even later joked with friends stating that I was possibly "taken" because of this unexplainable time-lapse.

However, since the episode, I became increasingly aware of a "skin-blotch" upon the inner side above my left ankle and had initially put it down as simply being just some sort of sun damage -due to a flaky covering. That is however, until recently, where the blotch now has revealed itself as being a perfectly formed equilateral triangle, 1cm in size, indented within the skin and of a sepia hue.
I ask, do you think this presentation of scenarios constitute the possibility of an encounter?
For some reason I'm not concerned, and actually think it fantastic, if an encounter had occurred, but my curiosity has lead me to ask whether you know of such markings and of their possible meanings.
Furthermore, do you know of any www link/s to which I may compare such markings toward my own?
I'll try and send an image of the marking and attach it to an email.
Kind regards

Event Description:

Ozamis city is famous for its fort, commonly known as "cotta". I went there
with my friend.
That fort is near the port of Ozamis. It was around 2 in the morning, the night was calm, suddenly we heard a mumbling sound that lasted for about 3 seconds.
It was like a large vibration in the air.
I saw a dog barking, facing the mountains on the other side of the land.

It was a very bright light, yellow.
It was like facing on the hill, I just figured out that it was rotating. When it faced towards the fort, I then heard the mumbling sound again.
The port lights went out and what I was thinking it was a lighthouse, but when it rotated away from us the port lights came back again.

Then after about 3 turns it moved so fast UPWARDS, I realized it wasn't a lighthouse.
It left a trail of slowly fading smoke like particles.
One of the Port Man asked me if I saw that, I said yes. He was wearing a glass used in welding (the dark tinted
glass). He told me It is triangular in shape and is rotating. (Just found out I
was right that it was rotating) as if it was scanning the terrain.

I suddenly remembered that I left my friend inside the fort exhibits, but then I found him
at the Bench near the bay holding his camera,
I asked him what's with it? got something nice?. He told me to take a look at the picture. I knew he got a
caption of the object.
I looked at the picture, told my self "CLEVER", he got a close zoomed shot.
Now it was really triangle, with 1 big light at the center and 1 light at every edge of the triangle.

My other friend called me, He was in the hotel, inviting us to come.
We left and we saw a last Blue light, so bright it covered the whole city. then it was gone

Event Description:

I was standing on one side of our fence at home... texting with some friends inviting them to play PC games at that time.

That was late 6:30PM.
 I saw a reflecting light from the hill.. well the hill is just in front of our house. now the light change in color from white to light yellow v.v. now when I looked at the skies. I saw a small round white object moving from south to north approx. 20-25 kph.

At first I said to my self it was just an airplane. But as we look at it. It stops from point A to point B... well at that time my mind begun to wonder what it is... no aircraft can stop from point A to other point.
Now the object stops on it's last stop. And in vertical direction it comes closer and closer to us... now 4 of my friends begun to panic on what they saw.
We thought it will landed in the hill right in front of our house. So we all run on the hill. But sadly the object goes back to its direction. and begins to move continuously. until it disappears in the skies.....

Event Description:

I walked across e. Trent ave. to a field, approx. McDonald and Trent. 
I was there because I had to go No. 1, looked out towards Spokane river.

A few hundred yard southwest of me was a disk shaped craft, lighted around the edges, and blotting out the stars.  It seemed HUGE! 
I remember staring up at it with mouth open wide, and after some time, less than 30 seconds, it turned into a star or a dot of light. 
I remember staring at the now visible stars and wondering which star it had become in the night sky.....my conclusion was-none of them! 

The craft made no sound or kinda a humming sound.  It was stationary approx. 100 feet above the ground. 
There is fresh water (Spokane river) and lots of normal power lines between between us. 
I had told nobody for over thirty years, because I went home expecting to hear lots of news from everyone, and did not hear any reports.  I waited for the 11 o'clock news that night and got nothing.  I did not want to tell anyone because I knew as large as it was, someone would have seen it!  Nobody ever came forward till now.

I was searching for info. and recently found a fellow named mark that saw very similar sighting, same year, same description, and he has now come forward with a report march 12, 2009. 
I shared my sighting with my wife and children a few years prior to him coming forward, and with near exact details.....they all laugh and say I was abducted...whatever!   Simply, why I have never reported it til now, is that someone else had to see it too.   Now I have verification from a man named Mark who just reported it a month ago.....and I would love to hear from him.....my email is bittbear@comcast.net  ..... so if you read this mark, please email me, maybe we could compare. 
 I always believed the reason no one else saw this is because of the age. 
I had 10/10 vision, and was 14.  I always felt cars on Trent ave. should have seen it as well as others in the area, and concluded that maybe only certain aged or certain vision could've seen it. 
I am pleased to see that the only report I have ever seen was last month, over thirty years after the event just as  I was deciding to look for anything around that period.  
Thanks for your story. 
It is oddly similar and strange that you report a disk shape, since most report cigar or boomerang.   I still can't imagine others beside us not seeing this. It was a very clear night, and as plain can be.  There is no mistake of what I saw, and I have always told myself never to forget it, and to never add or subtract from what I saw....I think they must be out there and lose there capability of being invisible, even if for a short time. 
But why it was there, and how it turns from a visible craft into a dot or star has always intrigued me.

 Event Description:

My friend and I were meeting some friends at the Mound Grove Golf course and bar that night, we were in a hurry because we were running late,

As we drove down the dark country road, we noticed up ahead bout 1/4 of a mile that there was a big light of some kind.

As we rounded the corner, we couldn't believe what we were seeing, it was a huge triangular thing with lights coming from each corner,
The one on the front was lighting up the whole field. 
We stopped the car and rolled the window down, I was leaning out of the drivers side window just looking, in awe and disbelief...we couldn't believe what we were seeing,
What were we seeing?..

The best I can do is explain it for you it was a huge triangular shaped craft, that covered most of the field which was about the size of a football field, and even though it was hovering, it made absolutely NO noise??..

After watching it for what only seemed like a minute or two, the bright light in the front went out, and boom it was gone. So fast that, well you would've had to have seen it!! it was crazy!!
After this happened we proceeded to go on to the bar, not sure what exactly to tell our friends, or if
we should tell them anything at all, but when we got there somehow we had lost like an hour of time. Pretty scary...

A week before our encounter, a farmer from Union City was in the paper saying that he had a craft land in his back yard, and of course people labelled him a coocoo, which is why I guess, I've never told anyone this story till now.

I am now a firm believer that something or someone has at least visited our little town, another strange thing that my friend and I noticed is that every summer, a bunch of people in white vans, just plain white vans,(I would say we saw six of these vans,) visit Union City, and they go up into the woods by the damn which is by where the farmer had his sighting,
The people in the vans wear grey jump suits and some sort of headphone gear.. I'm wondering if our little town might have a secret???

 Event Description:

Another gentleman and myself were travelling back to Scioto County, after a board meeting in Columbus (and, no, we were not drinking). 
As we travelled near the Ross County/Pickaway County line, we saw bright lights in the sky, very near US 23, and to the west. 
This would be very close to a small airstrip off of SR 104. 
There were 5 to seven lights, first appearing in a V shape, then changing to a randomly changing pattern. 
All at once the lights ascended, or just disappeared altogether. 
We talked about the unusual appearance, trying to explain away the idea that it could be a UFO.  The other man who was with me is retired USAF.  He could not come up with another explanation.

It was about an hour later, as we we had just gone through Piketon, OH (still on US 23).  Just after crossing Rt. 32, we saw the same lights in the same random pattern. 
They were visible on the same side of the road, and appeared closest to the ground as we approached the USEC plant (uranium enrichment facility). 
They were still visible as we crossed into Scioto Co.

Just as a side note:  I grew up in Chillicothe, OH.  I faintly recall another experience with a UFO sighting.  I was probably about 9-10 years old, and it was early evening. 
The sky was still light, and our family was cooking out with an elderly couple next door.
My dad saw it first, then a couple others (including myself) saw it before it quickly sped away. 
It seemed to be low-flying, but I do not recall that it was large in size.  Maybe 25-50' in diameter, and a saucer-shaped aircraft that made very strange noise (laugh if you will, but it reminded me - as a child - of George Jetson's space mobile). It I don't recall ever hearing dad or the man next door ever discussing this after that night.
