Full Report Text:
Rectangular object,bright lights in front. fainter ones behind, indicating shape longer thanis was wide, with no noise. I saw a strobing red light above me and assumed it was an aircraft.
It appeared to be quite high and I listened for some type of aircraft noise,but none came. It was moving from East, Southeast to the West. As it pass overhead , I could see three lights at it's front and still assumed it was an aircraft.
But, as it passed, I could then , curuiously see a row of lights just aways behind it and some faint lights interspersed in between indicating a rectangular shape that was longer than it was wide. There was no noise and a very even speed.

We reported this last night, but found a video on your site that better describes what we saw. It looked JUST like this video: http://www.nuforc.
org/brillWhiteBall/brillWhiteBall.htm With the addition of red/white flashing on each side of the craft. It was too fast for a plane, too large for the position in the sky to be a satellie etc.
and it really did not to appear to be anything sort of meteor etc. on fire, as the flashing was rythmic and mechanical. No sound came from the object.
Full Report Text:
White/red glowing object, no sound as it moved from the East end of the Boise Valley, south to the north and then dissappearing. Round, disk like shape glowing mostly white with red, flashing on the edges looking as if it were bird like. It was dark outside, yet the object was lit up.
We believe the lights were flashing in each side of the disk, as if it were wings flapping. It sounds bizzar, yet both my 14 y/o son and I both saw this- and interpreted it as such! It was quite large, and moving swiftly, smoothly, steadily, and seemed quite high up in the sky. No sound came from it, as it moved from the East end of the Boise Valley (by Warm Springs Ave.
), south to the north and then dissappearing. It was larger than any satellite, much larger than any stars.

Full Report Text:
LARGE FAST DISC REPORTED TO MHAFB YEARS AGO A large object viewed from 2nd floor lunchroom at St.alphonsus hospital during bright daylight lunch hour. Witnessed by lab personel as well as 3 physicians and nurses.
About 15 witnesses in all. The flying object entered from southeast at rapid rate and came to immediate stop over the city of Boise. It appeared to be at the same altitude that we were watching from, which was probably 2 0r 3 hundred feet higher that downtown area.
From our position it appeared to be directly over the State Capitol. From our position, one could not determine its exact shape, because we had mostly a side view. It would be like looking at a disc from its side view.
Its height to widith ratio would be like 1 to 300. It appeared to be either metallic or glasslike in nature. I was much longer than any commercial aircraft.
It refracted colors sequentially along its entire width, and looked like how windows look from a distance when sunlite refracts off their surface. When it departed, it instantly accelerated at a phenonmenal speed and disappered over Bogus Basin to the north of Boise, about 20 miles from the city. It had no gas trail, and of course we were too far from the object to determine if there was any noise.
The peculiar fact was there was nothing in the local news after the event. I was asked to call airport and see if they had it on radar. I walked over to the lunchroom checkout counter and used the public phone and called the Boise tower.
I was given a UFO report number at Mountain Home air force base and made the call. I cannot recall to whom I spoke, but it was an officer, and he was anxious to receive all the information. After speaking with him for about 5-10 minutes, and answering all his questions, I asked him he he could confirm this sighting.
He replied, that they had picked up the object somewhere south of Salt Lake City and had lost it as it moved toward the North Pole. He also willing told me that the object's speed was in excess of 6500 miles per hour. He said that the airforce had nothing in its arsenal near that speed.
he thanked me and I have never told this story to the public before. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

v-shaped light suspende in the sky for long period of time V-shaped, bright light suspended in the NE sky, appeared to have multicolored(red,green,blue)lights attached to it as well. I thought it might be an aircraft, but it didn't seem to be moving laterally in any way. I attempted to take photos with my digital camera, but the resolution is very poor.
((NUFORC Note: Possible sighting of a "twinkling" star, we suspect. PD)).

Went outside to let pet out and saw in the southwest sky a cluster of lights flashing red, green and blue. The object did not move but stayed in one place in the sky for at least 45 minutes or more. It was not a plane or helicopter or satellite but nothing any of us have ever witnessed before.
Eerie feeling watching this. Not a usual sighting.
Full Report Text:
Repeated sightings. This is the third time I have witnessed this craft. It had the exact same flight pattern in the same area as my last sighting a few months prior, but at a different time.
First off in the distance it looked like a flashing star, but the movement was surreal. It was moving wild and zigzagging. At this point it has a very strange and eerie sound.
a vibration type noise like wubwubwubwub. As it got closer into view it revealed the same red blinking light on its black frame as i observed in the previous sighting. But also as it came close into view the eerie sound faded and was gone and gracefully glid in the air and off into the distance.
