Bright circular light hovering in woods at eye level and then “turns off” without sound Siting around a campfire, I noticed from the side of my eye what first appears like a flashlight glowing from the dense wooded trees just about eye level from me sitting. It came out of nowhere and just hovered. I yelled to my husband “someone is in the woods” and with out sound or any movement through the woods the light disappeared.
It was then I realized it wasn’t a person because one, we would have heard them walking in the very dense trees because there is no path back there and two we would have heard them run off when I shouted. About 5-7 later as we grabbed a flashlight to see in the woods if someone was there. Loud “wolf like sounds” were heard from the opposite direction and then the sound of pups.
As if a birth had just occurred.

Long thin side white side lights on 2-3 objects which appeared almost blurred or nearly invisible a otherwise Going from northeast to southern what appeared to be 1 object with long thin oval shaped lights 1 on each side. Silently dashed across the sky I would guess easily min 25x faster than a plane would at same height. As the we’re reaching the last area I could see they seemed to split into 2 objects, as they appeared to come closer to each other yet at different levels in the sky.
This or these went over the tree line and I couldn’t see anymore. The second I saw a few min later going east to west also had 2 same lights as the first. This one was almost directly over where I was standing.
At the same height as the other I could see what almost looked like a blur between the 2 light. Giving me the impression that the object was clear enough to see thru as didn’t block out any stars. Yet had the distinct appearance of being nearly invisible except the 2 side lights.
This one just mid sky disappeared as I watched.

Very slow bright white light atleast 5x brighter than any star in the sky, appeared & disappeared on cloudless night In seconds, a large, about 5x larger than any stars in the sky at the time, appeared out of nowhere in the eastern part of the sky at 9pm. It lit up white with a middle area of darker white, moved very slow for mere seconds with a trailing like very short tail no longer than itself behind it & then just as quickly as appeared was gone. No flashing, no noise, nothing more than the small trail which it had behind it which was very short itself.
I’ve seen more shooting stars than I could count, sat out all hours watching meteor showers, find planets when possible, I go outside Every night and check out the sky. This was nothing like any of those. It appeared and disappeared on a completely cloudless night all in total of 5 seconds or less.
Reminded me of movies where something penetrates a different dimension & immediately goes back or into another. If I had to compare it to anything, I have seen, that would be the closest. If say 6 oclock is straight down & 12 is straight up above and horizon is 9 o’clock I’d say this was about 10-11 o’clock in the sky accordingly.
((NUFORC Note: First object may have been an Iridium satellite?? PD)) ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).

seen two UFOs made of orange.red and yellow lights with red flashing lights. We were walking the dog on a private beach about 2-300 yards from the house where the family vacations.
As we started on to the sand we looked south west to the far end of the beachs and about a half mile away, I noticed what I thought was a low flying small plant (sic. Plane) with red lights flashing at each end of the wings. However as I looked more and it worked its way closer to the two of us I noticed it was not a plane at all but rather an orange/red and a little yellow mixed in it ship made of light.
The end lights flashed a red like landing lights on a plane however the rest of it was mixed in color made of light. I later seen the same color of light in something I seen while it was looked at in infrared. It was fallowed by a second on the same path the entire way up the beach until they got to us.
they were 25-30 feet cross about 50-60 feet in the air above the water about 40-50 yards away from me. She kept walking and she was under them almost when the first one! stopped turned toward me and then slowly backed away in a 45 degree angle and disappeared the next one did the same thing at the same place as the first. It was amazing to say the least and made no sound at all.
She did not want to talk about it I did not that it matter.

Very large (747-ish), low flying, slow moving (30-50 mph), and absolutely silent triangular object w/3 lights. At approximately 11:45 pm on Thursday, January 7, 2010, a co-worker and myself went outside to warm up our vehicles due to the cold weather. As we were starting the vehicles, we both caught sight of an object in the air approximately 1 mile away.
We both made reference as to how low the object was, maybe 1-2000 feet in the air. The trajectory of the object was by no means in the direction of any nearby airports, and was flying in an extremely straight path. These things in and of themselves are not entirely out of the ordinary.
However, the following statements were mind baffling. The speed of the aircraft was very slow. Judging from our vantage point, the object appeared to be moving somewhere in the range of 30-50 mph.
To say that the object was “probably 2 miles up in the air so it appeared to move slower than it was” does not apply here. If that were the case, then my estimated size of the object would be about 1000 feet wide, as opposed to the large airliner-size that it appeared. There were 3 lights on the object; one on each of the sides, and one near what would be considered the back.
The final piece of information about the object was that it was completely silent. On a clear, cold night in January, with little or no wind to affect the sound, almost any plane in the air is audible to some extent. Not this particular object.
Normally with an aircraft at 5 times its height a faint engine roar could still be heard; but totally silent. We watched the object for a couple of minutes as it slowly made its way off into the distance. It was not until I got home and started looking online did I realize that I very well might have seen a UFO.

A very bright light moving extremely fast in Westbrook Connecticut I was outside, in a parking lot, with a friend. We were talking and I looked over and saw a very bright light low in the sky. The light was moving very quickly and then flew behind trees and I lost sight of it.
Full Report Text:
Numerous objects were seen in the sky- red and blue lights were emitted from these objects. There were two lights- one red,the other blue-it appeared as if a smaller yellow light fell from between these two lights. We observed the objects with binocoluars, and the vessel moved in a strange pattern, emitting a light that appeared to spin.
At one point, we observed as many as 8 objects- they appeared to be clustering around one particularly bright star in the sky. We also noticed that airplanes appeared to be following these unique vessels in the sky. There was definitely an unusual amount of motion as well as aircraft in the sky.
((NUFORC Note: Source is anonymous. Morning or evening sighting?? PD)).
