ufo was traveling above the clouds, over east Anchorage Day: Sunday Month: December Date: 25, 2005 Time: 11:30pm Location: Anchorage, AK This time I have three pictures. This time around the ufo was traveling above the clouds, and I believe heading west. My roommate received a camera this x-mass, and used his camera to take three pictures.

The first two times the ufo, was traveling pretty close to the ground (or it would seem to be traveling closer to the ground, because the light was bigger and shinier). However, the ufo in the pictures is the same color as the first two I saw, also it made no sound or have blinking lights.

Stealth shapped silent object with no noise or vibration from north to south at slow sped and low altitude. This happened last winter while I was delivering papers for the Anchorage Daily News. I saw the same craft if not another that was identical to the first sighting on atleast 5 diffrent nights.

Four of the sightings were in the same location and around the same general time of between 1;30 and 2;00 am. The fifth sighting was in a diffrent location and was about 45 minutes earlier . This sighting was due north of the usual location of the sightings.

The craft was this night traveling south from north and was traveling at the same steady speed and about the same altitude. The speed I would judge was about 20 to 25 mph and was silent of noise or vibrations. If it was a painted craft it would be of a black color.

It had white lights that strobed on the outer end edges of the rear part of the triangle with a solid burning white light in the front point of the triangle. It was a bit brighter I think than a normal landing light on a plane. I saw no green or red light as one would expect to see on a normal plane indicating port and starboard.

The thing that was of intrest to me was that if it had been just another 45 minutes later the thing would have been over the same area that i usually saw it for the previous four times. As it happened this night I was running a bit early and therefore was in another part of town. The area of town is with housing additions and very thick wooded areas in between them.

There i a mountain ridge to the east of the area about 4 miles away. To the south is the town of Palmer and the Matanuska River and the Knick River and the Knick Glacier and the rough and rugged Chugach mountains. Every time that I saw the caft was always the same altitude and speed and was traveling from north to south, no noise heard.

I tried to take a photo of the craft but my digital camera was not the best in the world and is only 3 mega pixels and did not make it worth saving. I am 38 years old and have had experience as a Captain in the Oklahoma State Guard and my fathe! r was a police officer and Chief of police and I have had experience in observation from many points of view during my life and I have explained this to the best of my ability. My only explinations could be that it was either a military stealth craft operating from Elmendorf or that it was extraterestrial.

Either way it was a true UFO for me. My telephone is 907 ((deleted)). ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate.

Aliens and UFOs on Halloween night near HAARP!!! After seeing what looked like a meteor falling out of the sky, on a trip to Valdez, we were followed by black suvs, a helicopter, firetrucks, and Alyeska pipeline response vehicles. It was a clear night, but we soon were driving through what was to be guessed as a fog bank. After rolling down the windows we soon discovered the fog was actually wood smoke.

After exitting the smoke later down the road a small glowing cone shaped object was seen innthe rearview mirror following us down the road. It soon disappeared my view, as it was to close to the rear of the vehicle. When it was out of my view the car backfired, and I saw sparks in the rearview passenger mirror, as if the object had hit the ground and rolled on the asphault.

Later down the road coming to a bridge, four figures were crossing the road towards the west. Unbelievable, but I swear as we passed they were greys, in the middle of the winter and naked. Ten minutes later, about one hundred feet out from the vehicle a red ball was following us.

Staying the same rate as us, and the same altitude as us, as we were heading up Thompson pass. Nothing out of the ordinary until we got to the top of the pass. Then I saw what looked what to be a giant pyramid hovering over Valdez.

It had three lights, one on each corner. After we got through the pass and into the canyon before Valdez, I lost sight of the triangular shape in the sky. Once we got through the canyon and close to Valdez, I noticed the object was gone.

Before getting onto the ferry we noticed Alyeska pipeline response vehicles driving all over the city of Valdez.

There was a bright twinkling object in the westerly sky slightly to the north. Some very faint stars in the background approximately 70 degrees in the sky. When I went to pick up and give a ride to a lady, she had watched this object off and on for a half an hour.

She pointed out the brightly twinkling object to me, it was then we noticed the object separated into two and at arms lengths it was approximately 6 to 8 inches apart. The objects moved back together again. This separation and merging happened a number of times.

The lady went to her condo and returned with a pair of Bushnell binoculars. This was then approximately 1:30 AM. When looking through the lenses she was extremely ecstatic at what she was seeing and quickly passed the lenses to me.

The ball of light had separated into 4 parts, 1 large, and three smaller parts. These structures were gyrating, twirling, twisting and dancing like a lariat in a ribbon like manner at extremely high speed. This dance continued over a small portion of the sky.

Each ribbon like structure had unequalled clarity and brilliance composed of distinct red, green, yellow and white sections. At the time we were passing the lenses back and forth, the ribbons coalesced into a brilliant luminous sparkling white ball. The white ball then formed the shape of a oval gem with subtle opal like colors.

It was extremely beautiful. From the gem state, the ball turned brilliantly white and sparkling again and seemed to rotate. There appeared on the left side of the white ball high speed circular colored rotations of light.

From this state the ball turned into a state that looked like the top of a round diamond with thousands of brilliant facets. Awesome!! The gem and diamond states were the most beautiful objects I have ever seen. The next state the white ball started to fade in brilliance and the perimeter of the ball became extremely luminous and erratic as if it were rotating.

The clouds came and the object passed from view as if had moved a little toward the north. It was then 3:00 AM *Other times the ball appeared to be a brilliant luminous sparkling ball of twine. Awesome!! ((NUFORC Note: We wonder whether the witness might have been looking at a celestial body, but that is only a guess.

PD)).

Ive seen these lights all together 4 times.

The first time i saw the lights was a while back i cant remember it was around 2000 maybe.i saw them about 2 months ago in december and there was 4 in a row and one would fade away and it would come back and and then 2 would go away and they would come back and they would never move until finally would all fade away slowly one time and faster the other times. In fairbanks we dont have any buildings past 15 stories so it couldnt be a building and the airforce base is 20 miles.

its the same exact thing that is shown in ur video on your website. i just wanted to tell someone about this and i know its nothing new thought someone might like to know. and if they come back i can get video and better pictures.

Balls of light seen from cruise ship in Alaska! On 9/02 my sister and I were on the Princess Regal cruise ship in route to Tracy Arm Alaska. We had an outside cabin and were on the XXth deck of the ship room # xxx to be exact. My sister had gotten up to use the restroom and then went to the window to look out.

She immediately woke me up and told me to hurry and come to the window to see what she was seeing. There were 5 to 6 balls of light maybe 10 to 15 feet from our window that were just hovering and following the ship. It was very dark out that night and these balls of light were very brigt, gold in color, and had a haze or aura around them.

We stood there for 15 minutes or so just mesmerized by what we were seeing. They were in groups of 5 or 6 and we saw one shoot straight up and over the ship, it was faster than anything I had ever seen. They just seemed to hover and then would disperse rapidly, then would reappear again.

We could see smaller ones further out just above the water. On one of the balls of light we saw a triangular tail appear, it looked transparent, but you could see the outline of it, and then it just shot off and left a vapor like trail. We called the front desk after that and reported what we had seen, but they had no answer of what it might have been.

The next day the Naturalist on the ship called us and we explained to him what we had seen, but he had no explanation. I was looking at the other reports, and low and behold there was another reporting from someone in Aug. 2004 that was on the Regal Princess cruise ship that had reported seeing glowing objects from there balcony.

They were lucky enought to be able to take a couple of pictures of the objects because they were outside, unfortunately we were not lucky enough to get any pictures of what we saw. But because these were sighted by another person in 2004 aboard the same cruise ship and in the same area as where we were at, I am convinced that what we saw was not from this earth. We looked out on 2 other nights at around the same time and we never saw them again.

So maybe these are seen out at sea between the route from Juneau to Tracy Arm Alaska. I would love to hear from anyone else that has seen these objects or anything similar, and would be happy to answer any questions you may have. I do not mind giving my email address out, sd_huitt@yahoo.

Three faded bluish grey craft appeared then disappeared overhead during military exercises over Alaska. I could hear the first craft going over but all I could see was blue sky where the sound was coming from. Then it appeared for only one second like a faded bluish gray image that looked like a military aircraft.

Minutes later the second incident involved a military jet releasing a chemtrail for a short distance then going straight overhead. Two bright orange flares lit up on the wings and were released. Two faded bluish gray craft that looked more like long speed boats suddenly appeared in a clear blue sky and moved slowly around the still burning flares then disappeared again.

All that was left was a smoke trail from the flares in a blue sky. There was heavy military aircraft activity in the area all day. Several aircraft released chemtrails during the day.

My location was about ten miles East of the Susitna Lodge on the Denali Hwy. ((NUFORC Note: We have viewed 27 photos sent by the witness, and see nothing that seems related to a genuine UFO. The events may have been related to military activity.

three of us were traveling to town when we witnessed what seemed to be a star-shaped bright light. As we approched the light, we noticed it wasnt up in the sky, rather above the trees next to the road. the bright light flashed and became two dimmer lights.

we were able to drive right next to it as it was beside the main road. The sun here hardly goes down, so we could make out the edge of the triangle. three dim lights at the edges none in the middle, no noise, driver strangely took off as we started to investigate.

Later that night, we saw five helicopters doing circles around town w/ only a green light. also the refinery here was acting strange/huge fire.

Large UFO over Mt. ILIAMNA Alaska. Driving westerly, uphill out of Homer Alaska, passenger spotted an object that was somewhat cloud-like but different in that it had a metallic sheen to it and it was in motion contrary to the other clouds that were nearly motion-less on the northern portion of the sky.

Thus, the cloud condition was only partly cloudy and this object appeared to be at approximately 15-to 20,000ft and at least 3 miles distant to the clouds present when first sighted. The 'craft' traveled at a high rate of speed, climbing higher into the western sky that was relatively free from clouds over the "Cook Inlet". It was first noted to be about an inch long over head when first sighted; half an inch over the middle of the Inlet and about a quarter of an inch in length (over Mt.

Iliamna), when one measures with an arm extended out using finger and thumb to bracket the object. This experience lasted 3, 5, minutes, no more. We have noticed many jet-liners, military transports flying in our skies day and night and basically comprehend their size relative to their flying altitudes fairly well since we are both military veterans, U.

S.N., and U.

S.A.F.

This was MUCH TOO LARGE for anything published in Jane's--LOL!!!!! Think saucer section separated from Star Trek's Enterprise, leaving a cloudy vapor, (tear-dropped vapor shape that traveled with the craft). ((NUFORC Note: Possible contrail behind a high-altitude jet?? PD)).

Saucer-like craft flies northwest The sun was setting, and I was inside, at the window, looking northwest at the Gastineau Channel. I saw an object moving northwest. I watched it until it was too small to see; also, some bushes that were in front of my field of vision blocked it.

The object was a saucer shape. It was much smaller than a commercial airplane. It was bright, from reflected sunlight.

I assumed that it was metallic, and its color was probably silver. The object moved in a very straight line, with some tilting on its axis from one side to the other. Its motion was quick, and silent, as far as I could tell.

It also seemed to make little change in altitude.

bright light acceleratesat a high rate of speed. i live right outside of wasilla ak- - on the west end -off of parks highway- i had stepped out side to do some stargazing - because there will not be many more nights before the light takes over.- -i was looking to the east - and high up about a 70 degree angle - - i saw a bright light that looked to be about 30000 up - this bright light was traveling in a west south -west direction.

i thought at frist it was a commerical airline that was coming into anchorage- - although, the light was a lot brighter than it would be for a com.air-craft. the object then appeared to turn up ward at about a 45 degree angle- then it gained alot of speed - and it just went out of sight.

i was very amazed at the high rate of speed at which this light traveled- - - the whole event lasted about eight sec.- - - wow!- i shall remember this one.

"star" in an unknown to me, constellation started moving out of the "formation" and down, then another one went right to left. stepping outside to smoke a cigarette, looking up at the northern lights. noticed immediately a "star" moving slowly, down.

it was coming out of what i thought was a constellation, im not sure what the constellation would be, but this "star" was the only one moving in the night sky. it went slowly, but constantly down, until out of sight behind a tree. waited for a couple of seconds thinking it might emerge, but no such luck.

still wondering what it was, i looked around the sky, and to the right, another one started going from right to left, behind the same tree. i then pondered a minute what it might be, but i have no idea.

lights in the sky Between 0540 and 0610 I saw 6 different lights appear about 30 degrees above the horizon due north of my position. They lasted variously from 5 to perhaps 20 seconds all moved in an easterly direction. I dont believe they were aircraft.

Perhaps satellites but I have observed satellites for the past 8 years. These objects appeared not to move as fast as the satellites. Yesterday morning at approximately the same time and in the same location I observed 2 similar sightings.

One lasted so long I thought it was the landing light on an inbound Lufthansa or other cargo flight. It was southbound. After about 25 seconds the light went out.

About 10 minutes later another light, not quite as bright, appeared headed east southeast and lasted maybe 10 seconds. There was no sound. The only other aircraft in vicintiy was AK-62 departing FAI at 0600.

The lights I saw did not go near the airport.

Trapezoidal object seen in Fairbanks in 2005. From the Wal~Mart Parking lot looking south we observed a large Trapezoidal Object with multiple lights hovering in and coming toward us. We observed it for 15 minutes then it moved 5 degrees to the right.

And hovered again for another 15 minutes. After driving home I continued to observe it from my balcony for another fifteen minutes before I went to bed. Infrasound readings taken of it seem to point to the fact that it had a low in audible sound like engines.

And that it disapeared after the 45 minutes were up. Using trigonometry, GPS, and angles I estimated the object to be about 23 miles wide. ((NUFORC Note: We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he reports that he did not take a photograph.

My UFO Sighting: CE II At 21:00 or 9:00 PM a coworker and I left work for the day and went to start up our vehicles in the associate parking lot of a local /chain retail store. It was approximately -34 to -44 degrees below zero with a strong wind and dark. It was colder inside our automobiles than outside so we waited outside our vehicles while they were warming up.

I looked up at approximately south, southeast (which was above the discount store building) to observe an object, in the shape of a trapezoid, that was large enough that it's bottom was 7 degrees above the horizon and it's top was 24 degrees above the horizon. The object had a cluster of lights that were semi structured / semi randomly placed that apeared mother of pearl in color. It was stationary regardless of the wind.

I waited to see if the other person observed it as well then he asked me if I was seing what he was seeing. After observing it for about 15 minutes it moved 5 degrees to the right then went stationary again. At this time our vehicles were warm so we both drove home.

It just so happens that I lived 1.4 miles in the direction of the object. So I observed it getting larger as I drove toward it.

From the balcony of my appartment I observed it for another 15 minutes. Then I went to sleep due to exhaustion. I since then have taken GPS readings from both sighting locations.

With the help of University Scientists I have obtained Infrasound and Weather Radar Data. The infrasound data may not be related based on university staff reccomendations. Also, the infrasound readings are below audible levels.

I did not hear any noise. However two bars of infrasound do appear. One bar at about 21:00 the other bar maybe 45 minutes later.

(The one scientist that explained this to me became upset when I expressed my intention to report this data.) It is estimated that the object was 45 miles away and 4,000 feet above the earth. (?) With the help of three mathematicians I estimate the width of the object to be about 23.

3 miles wide. ! It is t hought to be of a natural origin. However, it did seem to exhibit some movement that suggests intelligent operation.

But I cringe at that speculation. The creative part of me wants to elaborate and fill in the blanks. But the logical side of me is struggling to explain it away as a natural phenomenon.

I have put together a 77 page book on it and sold one copy over ebay. There is a quickly rendered photoshop picture, that I developed, with it. Geography, B.

Girded Structured UFO with many lights spends 45 minutes hovering over Fairbanks, Alaska on January 13, 2005 Semi Trapezoidal or Angular Platform like Structure, with many white opaque lights, was seen from the Wal~Mart employee parking lot at about 8 PM on January 13, 2005. Spires with lights on them appeared to jut out from it's left side. It was a clear night -44 Degrees Below Zero.

There was a slight breeze moving from left to right of viewing plane. I estimate the breeze moving from East to West. We were looking south from the parking lot.

The object hovered silently and stayed stationary regardless of the breeze. After about 5-10 minutes the object began to move slightly toward the right of the viewing plane. The object then stopped again and remained stationary.

While observing it I waited for ((name deleted)) to see it since I did not want to imply what I was seeing. He then looked up where I was looking and asked, "What the hell is that?" Be both observed it for a few more minutes then both decided to go home. He drove up to murphy Dome Road and said it was no longer in his sight.

The object stayed stationary as we both went home. The object was in my path as I drove home, moving toward it, so I watched it as I was driving home looking to see if it would get any bigger. I am still not sure if it did get any bigger.

Later measurements seem to indicate that it did appear larger at my appartment. At my appartment, I observed the object from my balcony and still was trying to explain it away. I convinced myself that it was lights from a far away building I never knew existed before, and had a feeling that it would be there in the morning.

However, I convinced myself of this in spite that I knew it was a wrong assumption. This was because the structure of the placement of the lights were sort of in a random pattern of distribution and that I had seen it moving. I had a camera with me but assumed that it would be there in the morning.

I went to bed, due to exaustion, after 30 minutes had elapsed from the initial sighting to the balcony sighting even thought the object was still visible. So my visual sighting took only about 30 minutes. However, after a conversation with a Physics Personnel at the University of Alaska, Geophysical Institute, we obtained infrasound readings of what may be the object.

The infrasound readings indicate that there might have been an engine signature on Atmospheric Entry and then another signature on Exiting the Earths Atmosphere. The infrasound readings obtained sounds well below human hearing levels. Anyhow, two distinct readings do exist that happen to be approximately 45 minutes apart.

I am still in the process of obtaining weather radar data, and any other data possible.
