Daylight UFO sighting where I filmed a red, yellow/white, and blue object tumbling upward in the sky. On the morning of June 1, I went for one of my weekly walks on Wednesday, and when I got into town, I was going to buy water and turn around and head home. When I headed into the Harrington shopping center, I happened to glance up and see something odd.
The object had pulsating blue, red, and yellow lights. It was tumbling upward. Not flying straight like an airplane or hovering like helicopter or drone.
It was tumbling in a way I’d never seen anything move before. I took a picture and a close up of it looks almost like a drone, but a later screen grab from my video has it looking like an orb with a light flashing on the side. I don’t know what it is, and it really frightened me, so I wanted answers.
I shared the video with friends and family. Some say it was a drone. The thing is, when I examined the video, there is a part where whatever it was “glitched” and it suddenly was somewhere else.
I didn’t see this with my naked eye at the time, only upon viewing the video. I’ve never seen a drone move that fast. Unless there was a problem with my phone during filming.
Anyway, this thing was tumbling and then it suddenly reversed until it was right over me. At that point, I stopped filming because I was startled. I live in a few miles an air base.
That does nothing to answer my questions because as I said, it looked like NOTHING I’d ever seen before. Whether a civilian or military craft – and I see a lot of both on the regular. This thing was tumbling, doing summersaults to rise higher in the sky.
I have simply never heard of any aircraft moving in that way to get from Point A to Point B and I just don’t know what to make of what I saw or filmed. Any help or answers would be appreciated. Thanks!.

Multiple UFO sighting with possible contact UFO SIGHTING 8/23/11 On August 23, 2011 at approximately 22:00 hours I stepped outside to have a cigarette. As I gazed at the sky I noticed a strange bright light, brighter than a star in the South Southwest Sky just under and to the left of the Big Dipper. It seemed as if it may have been 10 to 20 miles away.
It had multicolored lights moving around the bright light horizontally while the bright white light was pulsating in a rhythmic fashion. The multicolored lights changed color almost as if the colors were smoothly changing from color to color like a prism or color wheel. This immediately got my attention.
I continued to watch for 15 minutes and noticed that it did not move, at least not that I could perceive. I then went and got my wife whom saw it herself and made me aware that there were 2 additional lights pulsating in unison with the initial anomaly. The other 2 lights were smaller and only white with no other colors like the initial anomaly.
A three formed a triangle. The other 2 were only visible for 10 – 15 minutes. When my wife and I confirmed at 22:30 hrs that it had not moved I called my friend who lives 20 miles away and in the direction of the object.
While on the phone with my friend, I described the area of the sky it was in and he was able to locate it. We were very excited as this is a topic we are interested in and have been sky watchers for some time. The points that compelled our belief that it was a UFO were as follows: 1.
they did not move. 2. No conventional aircraft has lights that are blue, green, red, yellow, etc.
& 3. It seemed way too high of an al! titude to be a helicopter. I then went inside the house and ended the phone call with an understanding that he would continue to watch it and call me if he saw any changes.
At about 23:30 I took the dog out and noticed it was gone. I scanned the sky and noticed it was now resting in another area of the sky. If it were originally at 7 o’clock it was now at 11 o’clock and not moving.
I observed for 10 – 15 minutes. This is where it gets strange. I consciously focused on the object and asked a series of questions in my mind.
“What are you?”, “What are your intentions?”, “Where did you come from?”, “I want to know”. Immediately, my son came running out the front door in a panic. He told me when he came down stairs for a drink he saw a white hooded figure out of the corner of his eye.
He said it looked like a white towel floating in the air and it moved. He said when he turned to look at it, it vanished. He was visibly shaken.
I listened to his description then comforted him and tucked him in bed. Bear in mind my wife was sleeping at this point. I played around on the internet and went to bed at about 1 AM.
The next morning my wife tells me she came downstairs in the middle of the night and saw a hooded white figure with no face in the same spot in the office as my son had seen. They had not spoken of this to each other. The difference was that she saw it facing her with just a black area where a face should be.
She was visibly shaken and had goose bumps as she recounted her experience. She said that although it was very real and bizarre, she felt at peace and it did not scare her. We did not talk about this around our son as he is too young for these things.
The possibility of one of them contaminating the other’s memory was very small as I made every attempt to control my personal investigation of the white figure. I had them go into separate rooms and draw what they had seen. They drew very similar pictures.
The figure had human shape and only visible from the waist area up. It stood approximately 6’ tall. It moved when my son saw it.
It seemingly looked at my wife. Obviously this incident shook us up a bit. I don’t know what the significance of it is is but I do know they are related.
We have never, in 7 years in this house, seen anything out of the ordinary. We are sane people. We are confused.

It sat still for ten miutnes then out of nowhere made a sharp right turn and took off faster then anything ive ever seen We were sitting on our deck at 12:30 am when we saw two very bright lights in a place where we’ve never seen lights before. It appeared to hover for approximately ten minutes which was enough time for me to smoke two cigarettes and to find our binoculars. Next it had made a very sharp right turn and took off faster than anything I’ve ever seen in my life.
We looked at it through our binoculars and it had not resembled anything we’ve ever seen in our life. It definitely had not resembled a plane of any kind or a helicopter. There was absolutely no sound whatsoever.
The object seemed to be rectangular with two very bright lights. It was nighttime in a country like setting with not a lot of air traffic that passed through. It was a very clear starlit night.
