Bright silver object that just vanished in the sky. My daughter and I were getting onto the interstate and I noticed a very BRIGHT silver object in the sky. It looked unusual so I pulled over and we started watching it.
It was a football shaped bright metal object that was moving across the sky. It was not leaving anykind of smoke or any kind of trail behind it. We saw it for about 2 minutes when it suddenly just vanished.
It was a CLEAR blue sky when no clouds. We saw nothing fall out of the sky and we sat for at least 2 more minutes looking to see if it would show up again. It was a very exciting moment.
We would both thrilled to have seen it!!!!.

RED LIGHT FLYING BACK AND FORTH FROM EAST HORIZON TO WEST HORIZON VERY HIGH UP. IT WAS 8:51 PM CENTRAL TIME I SAW A VERY FAINT OBJECT MOVE FROM WEST TO EAST IN NIGHT SKY COVERED WHOLE HORIZON IN LESS THAN A MIN. NO BLINKING LIGHTS A RED COLOR VERY FAINT THOUGH, ALMOST HAD TO LOOK AWAY FROM IT TO SEE IT WITH PERIPHRIAL VISION.
ABOUT 7 MIN. LATER I SAW THE CRAFT COME BACK THE OTHER WAY FROM EAST TO WEST ,AGAIN VERY FAST COVERED WHOLE SKY IN A PARALLEL MOTOIN FROM THE FIRST SIGHTING. DIDN'T SEE IT COME BACK FROM WEST TO EAST.
BUT A FEW MIN. LATER I SAW IT AGAIN FROM EAST TO WEST AGAIN IN SAME PATTERN AS BEFORE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE.
I KNOW IT WASNT AN AIRPLANE IT WAS WAY TO FAR UP IN THE AIR. I AM GOING TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT TONIGHT.

Very high, cigar shaped UFO moving at incredible speeds. Around the date of October 1st, 2008, I witnessed a very distant object very high up. It might have been an airplane, however, do to the altitude I'm not sure.
Another reason I'm skeptical it was a UFO is because it was moving at incredible speeds. If it was at normal airplane altitude it would be going as fast as a stealth bomber. It seemed to be white without any wings.

Commmercial pilot driving East on I-20, notice object out left window, object is small, bright pulsing white, headed toward ground at about 25 degree angle, high velocity, passes out of view behind trees, no crash. I have driven well in excess of a million miles, have over 4,000 hours flight time and had never seen an object which I could not explain until I saw this one. This unidentified airborn object had no tail of debris such as that of a meteor.
It was a bluish white like the light of a xenon strobe. It did not flash, rather it pulsed off like a strobe pulses on. It looked like a "plasma sphere".
I have no way to perceive it's distance nor it's size. It was in excess of 2,000 feet away, as it passed behind trees which were at least that far away. Interestingly, I mentioned this to two other people an hour or so later, and one of them had seen what he described as the same type thing seen at the same time I saw it, yet he was 25 miles East of my location.
For all I know we could have been the same object at some distance, since he and I both saw it in the NNE.

A fishing trip ends with a loud roar and a bright light waking me up in the night. I was taking my normal spring break fishing trip at our lake house south of Pell City, near the Coosa River. The best way to explain this is to explain the lay of the land a bit.
The property has a steep drive downward to the house. Being fairly remote in the woods, trees are everywhere and right against the driveway. We had wooden steps going up to the 'front door' of the house and the wooden porch continued and wound around to the actual front of the second floor of the house.
Above those steps on the top (Second) floor is the window of the room I was sleeping in. I woke up in the middle of the night just after midnight. Light was flooding the room.
There was a noise very loud. Is was a roaring near deafening roar like that of a jet engine. What in very unusual about this, is the lighting.
It seemed to come from everywhere. I never moved. I barely breathed.
I was simply struck with fear as if someone was searching for something or someone. At first, I thought it was a truck from the street, but that did not match up. If a car was on the drive way it would have to be a good ways behind the house to even attempt to angle the headlights into the window of my room which was parallel with the driveway.
There was another mystery, the noise. I remember thinking, maybe it's the police looking for someone. But that did not make sense either, because they would be using a helicopter over the forest.
What ever it was, was not making the normal whup-whup of a helicopter. This was a loud roar. Though I could not see it, I seriously felt as if it was below the tree line in order to highlight the window.
The trees were too high by the house for any helicopter to safely be right above with all the trees around it. It seemed to stay a long time, which ended up being around 10 minutes simply shining a very bright light on the whole house and through the window right above my head. This will sound very odd, but it seemed! as if the house was 'being scanned' though no effects or any other lighting was seen.
I remember being simply too scared to move, and too scared to breathe. I remember thinking thought, "There is no one here." I cannot say for sure, but it felt as if I was hearing other thoughts within my own.
I really expected to see something walk right down the hallway. Though I never heard walking on the porch, it was as if the idea was placed there like 'we should'. Though I never left the bed, I felt as if my perception was changing in some way.
It was very strange. It was as if this mystery craft was right next to the house hovering above the street and below the tree line. I distinctly remember thinking to myself, "If I don't breathe maybe they will go away.
" I was saying the Lord's Prayer, and other silent prayers, and trying so hard to not breathe. Here is the rub, that made me go, "What the?" The roar became even louder, and then the craft or whatever it was, was simply gone. It left almost instantaneously! .
The Doppler Effect was almost missing here, thought I heard it 'leave'. There was no hearing anything lift off. No tires crunching the gravel or concrete.
It went from being there, to simply not being there. I had the hardest time going back to bed that night afterwards. The next morning I checked the porch and the tree branches hanging over the driveway.
Everything seemed normal. What woke me up that night, I am still completely clueless. I never stayed up there alone to go fishing after that.
