Lights moving in a circular motion, but hovering without any SOUND! I have one living witness besides myself that can verify this account- my Step-Dad Wayne. I have told few people this story, and truthfully- it isn't for any other reason than, 'they just wouldn't BELIEVE me!" But here is what happen… We were hunting outside the town of Jasper , Fl on some leased land for a private hunting club. There were only 3 of us at the end of the day, and we were responsible for locking-up the main-gate to the entrance.
The main road entrance runs perpendicular across a power-line with 200 yds wide of clearnce- very clear night, no obstructions of view, etc. As I sat there listening to my Step-Dad and his Friend talk, I noticed a 3 light configuration moving in a circular pattern- but remaining in the same altitude -not moving up or down or side to side -just hovering. (cannot remember EXACT colors now) but it startled me enough to point it out to Wayne.
This OBJECT was so close that I knew it should be making some sort of sound.! And as a 16 year old kid, (at the time- 44 now) I realized that Wayne and his friend were as curious and unsure of WHAT IT WAS as I was. In fact, enough that I begin to back up quit scared - to be honest! As I stepped backward toward the truck- intently watching this thing- it vanished.
It was at that moment I remember hearing Wayne and his friennd say, "Why didn't it make any sound?" And I looked to my right, at the same exact angle, but to the right-side this time, there it was AGAIN! Not making any sound, but visible lights rotating. I got so scared that I got into the truck and begged Wayne to get in also, and let's go! It disappeared finally, and we left rather starteld. It must of lasted about 3-4 minutes total, and 'the thing that scared me the most' (my Dad was a U.
S.A.F.
Captian/Pilot- I had seen many AIR-SHOWS, etc.) that this THING MADE NO SOUND AT ALL.NONE! It was the only time I saw anything that resembled a U.
F.O., and after finding this WEB SITE- I f! igured you all could use all the 'TRUE AND ACCURATE SIGHTINGS'! that co me forward.
I never reported this until today, and my Step-Dad, Wayne, is still alive, and could verify this account. Hope this helps in some way! ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).

The object hovered behind a cloud for close to a half hour and if it was a helecopter it would have made a sound. On about August 26, 1984 (Guess) at approximately 4:00pm (16:00 Guess) I was driving down State road 69 located in Calhoun County, heading south. I just passed the intersection of State road 69 and county road 274.
At this time a glanced south at rain clouds that were forming from thunderheads. Lightning started flashing from the clouds and thunder could be heard very loud. While i was glancing south I observed a silver looking cylinder shaped object approximately (50) fifty feet long, streak across the sky then fly behind the cloud that was producing lightning.
I then pulled over to the shoulder of the road and cut of my engine and started watching the cloud. The cloud was approximately one hundred yards long and 125 yards high and about 5 miles from my location where I had a great view. (farm land went about 3/4 of a mile away and then it started with planted pine trees ten feet tall.
After about 20 minutes, I observed a portion of the object come out of the north end of the cloud. About 10 minutes later, the object came out at a high rate of speed from, the south end of the cloud and vanished into higher clouds. I had cut off my engine so I could hear if there was any sounds coming from the object.
I never heard any sound, even when it left the dark cloud flashing with lightning unless the thunder covered it up. I know this has been around 30 years ago, but I recall it like it was yesterday. Sorry i took so long reporting this but I never thought anyone would believe me, but after hearing you on Coast to Coast for the past year and a half, I decided to make a report because the info was still fresh in my mind after all these years.
Why do you think it stay in the cloud that was producing lightning? I wondered if it could detect me and was hiding, or was getting some energy from the lightning. Oh yea.it came out of the south end of the cloud, and then made a sharp turn to the west and started heading up into the high hanging clouds.
Thanks so very much for all that you do to keep this program moving forward.

Two bright objects in the night sky in Cape Canaveral, FL. It was a warm summer night in Cape Canaveral, FL. No moon as I recall, the sky was very black and the stars shone brightly.
My fiancé at the time (now husband of 22 years) and I were stargazing on the beach off of Lincoln St. on the boardwalk. To the left of us was Kennedy Space Center, to the right of us The Pier.
I would also like to note that there were no launches that night. Since I grew up in Cape Canaveral this I would have remembered along with seeing these objects. Suddenly out of no where there appeared a very bright light that seemed to change in colors.
The object hovered above the ocean just to the right of the Space Center. It would move in and outward, then it would appear to rise in the sky and drop suddenly and stop. It moved in directions that I have never witnessed before! It made no sound that we could hear, only the oceans waves were heard.
A second object then appeared and both of these moved around almost as if following each other, then at other times they would be doing different things. One would be moving towards the beach and one would be rising up or down above the ocean. We both have never seen any aircraft move so effortlessly in a manner that these objects did.
My husband and I both asked each other if we were both witnessing the same thing, wondering if we had lost our minds! We watched the objects for probably a good 15 minutes doing it’s dance in the sky. Suddenly the first one or lead object seemed to move in quickly at us (but still kept a distance away), like it knew we were watching it, then backed off to where it was then in a flash both of them were gone leaving what seemed to be a streak in the dark sky where they had moved so quickly out of our site. Not a trail, but a streak that vanished in a second! Over the years we have told many of our friends of our experience, but never thought to report the incident until I ran across your site.
I have looked to see if others perhaps saw these objects that night, but did not find any. Since I can not remember the exact date I will have to estimate it. I know that this happened in 84, it was in the summer months and it was before we married in 1985.
Sorry I wish I would have wrote now the date and kept it somewhere. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).

Old photo recently found with object in it I recently reviewed old family photos from when I was growing up. One photo out of the many in succession stood out. It was taken at Epcot Center in Orlando, Florida.
There appears to be an object in the photo that was not in any other photos. It is a small dark object that was not noticed until just recently that seem to have appeared and disappeared as fast as one photo to the next.

cylindrical shaped object with rotating display I was leaving work after 2AM when i saw in the sky a cylinder-shaped object with a circular blue digital display with what seemed to me to be possibly Cyrillic letters that sequentially moved from left to right, like one of those displays you see on bank buildings and such. It made a high-pitched whining noise with two tones, maybe an octave or two apart. It seemed to me to be no more than maybe 50-100 feet overhead.
It moved rather slowly and quite majestically. At the time I had assumed it was a weather monitor or some such. There is an Air Force base in Tampa, so I supposed it was something to do with that, however, the unusual alphabetical characters makes me wonder what it actually was.
It seemed to be rather small, at most half the size of a Volkswagen bug. I'm curious to know if anyone knows what it was. Thank you.

Saw obj out window appx 0100. Enter E-W slow bright. Outside stared obj 1h.
Hypn 5 yr later. Abduct, exam, unsettling. I was sole percipient, had insomnia one night, sat inside bedroom gazing at night sky approximately 0100 on 041584.
Saw a blazing white light enter field of vision from east, moving to west. A dead pine tree served as a reference point. Object halted behind the tree.
The motion of falling leaf was observed briefly. Object stayed in sky throughout sighting. Feeling some compulsion to go outside, I watched it from the back yard for what I thought was only a few minutes.
The weather was cool and I was not fully clothed, so felt cold. I noticed the object seeming to drift slightly westward, still looking like bright blazing star. Suddenly it moved about 90 degrees to the west, without transiting.
Tired, cold, I went in, sleepy finally, and went to bed. Told someone the next day at work about it, got laughed at and forgot it for three years. The book Communion was published, the cover startling me and triggering a memory of that night.
For two more years I thought about it often, reading Communion and some other things on UFOs. In 1989 I had a hypnotic regression to the night in question, remembering in detail being taken up through the air to the object, taken aboard, examined, having communication with the occupants, including some joking and prophecy. The object appeared to have a considerable amount of detail on both the outside and inside.
The occupants were short, gray-brown in color, and wearing red suits with black trim and some sort of smooth, tight-fitting head gear that seemed to cover a part ot their faces. They stood away from the table I was placed on, behind a half-wall. A scanning device examined me.
I got a very good look at it such that I can see it as I write this. There were several instances of the occupants joking with me to relax me and quell my fear. There was an instance of forced physical paralysis with total loss of muscle control.
I kept my eyes closed during much of the experience. At the end, two of them floated me back to the yard between them. I was unable to look closely at them out of fear, and had a screen memory of their appearance.
The content was bizarre, odd, and frightening. I left the hypnotherapy session very upset. For several years subsequently I had a hard time with the memory.
The session was taped. I transcribed the tape and studied it carefully. There was an internal coherency but the content was very unusual.
Later, I read that the things that the occupants discussed (telepathically) were not so unusual in abductions. I saw another clinician, a published author and psychiatrist who studies paranormal events. Two more abductions were uncovered, going back to childhood.
Another emerged spontaneously. One of them explained a mysterious short term leg paralysis that I had as a child. Many pieces fell into place about bad memories from childhood, fear of windows at night, always looking into the night sky, and three previous sightings I had had.
Of those, one was multiple witnessed by parents and their friends. No subsequent UFO activit! y occurred to me. My sense of the occupants was that they were insincere, though trying to appear to be genuine and helpful.
I did not like what happened, feeling violated. I was 36 years old at the time of the last event. The others occured at 12, 8 and 4 years of age.
I am a trained, State licensed psychotherapist and a trained, State certified hypnotherapist, practicing now for thirty years. I do not, nor have I ever, talked about the UFO encounters or my interest in them, nor is there any visual cue in my office that would tip off a patient that I would be amenable to a discussion of same. Since the event and the hypnotic regression, a patient came to me who subsequently requested hypnotherapy and was surprised to reveal a tremendous amount of encounters going back to her age of four years.
Multiple family members were also involved, three of whom (two sisters and mother)I was able to interview and study hypnotically. The mother had a conscious waking memory of her experience, which happened also when the daughter was four. A sister only could remember the screen memory of a wolf's face at the window.
Another sister remembered from childhood a screen memory of white horses with large, black, glassy eyes staring at her inside her bedroom, then chasing her across the house. These sessions went on with this patient for over one year, often meeting three times a week for two to three hour hypnotherapy sessions. Finally, I had to steer it to a close, as I had become drained and emotionally upset by it.
The woman's children were also being abducted, all of whom I saw in the office and who talked about their experiences. This experience, of treating this patient who was such an active percipient, was exhausting personally, although did serve to relieve the patient of significant disabling symptoms. My sense of the occupants of her objects was that they were not benevolent.
Such was also the impression held by the patient. I will be happy to send the transcript of my experience with any other material requested by mail. No phone calls or email, please.
