Ok, I was in 7th grade when this happend, but interested in UFO's. I was coming out of my middle school after a basketball game. There were a few people around, but I don't think they were paying attention.

I looked up in the sky, waiting for my mom to pick me up, and saw three sets of points of light. Each set was in a perfect triangle, and then the three sets of lights were also in a perfect triangle. The lights were moving at a moderate pace, neither real fast or real slowly.

When I got home, I saw something on the news that night about whether there was a UFO or not, but I wasn't allowed to stay up to watch it, so I never found out what it was. ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. PD)).

My friend and I were walking to my house when we stopped to look at the moon. We started looking at stars and we saw a little ship come out of a large one and one flew overhead and hovered while we got his mom and brother. My friend and I were walking to my house (he lives down the street) when we stopped to look at the moon.

My friend was at the time around 11 and I was 13. We had been friends since he was in Kindergarten. I was starting my fascination with outer space around that age.

We started looking at stars and naming them, then he spotted one above and to the left of the north star that was somewhat bright (but very far away like a plane would be). This "star" was keeping it's possition in the sky, but what was weird about it was that another star with a much lower magnitude seemed to come out of the larger one and travel about 4 degrees across the sky and stay there for about 5 minutes. After that, it simply went back to where it came from.

I never considered that part of the sighting because it was too far away to tell what it really was. What I consider the sighting is explained below. After seeing the strange star-like pinpoints across the sky, we began looking for more to see if it was an isolated phenomena.

We continued to walk and look when strait down the road between the rows of suburban houses and over the top of the circle's trees (the circle being at the end of the short road we live on) was a very bright light, my guess being with about -5 or -6 was just sitting there. At first it didn't click in my head because there's usually red lights in that part of the sky anyway because of power lines in the field. Then I realized the light wasn't red, it was a white light.

We were now halfway down the road, standing in awe at the 3-way intersection and stared at the light. I looked to my friend and asked him what he thought it was, and when I looked back I saw that it doubled in size. It was coming at us, straight down the road.

We thought it was a helicopter, so we ran back to his house like we were fugitives (we always pretended like that). When we got to his driveway, it was almost directly overhead and still no sound was coming from it. I took charge and told him to get his mom (I knew without an older witness that no one would believe us).

He ran inside yelling and his little brother came running out, followed by my friend and his mom. Now the diamond-shaped craft was directly overhead and hovering like a copter. The rest of the description gets blurry now, I believe there were 4 lights on bottom, the 2 sides being white or dull yellow, the front and back being red.

As far as I can remember, it was only there for us to regret not having a camera, then it tilted up at about a 30-35 degree angle and zipped away above his house pretty quickly. The only way I remember this many details about it is because I immediatley wrote it all down in my journal when I got home because I didn't want to take the chance of forgetting it, or having warped memories about it later.

1994 in Indiana- Black Triangle with white & red lights hovering then flying away quickly I was only 13 years old at the time. I was walking with my best friend from my house to his house in a subdivision outside of town. We stopped in the middle of the street to look for shooting stars.

We found a few lights in the far distance that looked like airplanes without the flashing lights, but their behavior was strange. The first one we found while looking to the north. It moved a few degrees through the sky then stopped.

A smaller light came from inside of it and went the same distance from its parent. After a minute it returned to its parent and it continued to fly away. We continued to look around and we saw a bright white light over the eastern tree line.

At first we just assumed it was a light on a tower, but after walking a bit more then turning around again it was noticeably brighter. We stared at it as it got bigger and bigger until we realized it wasn’t growing, it was approaching. We ran westward down the street to my friend’s driveway, just a few hundred feet away.

By the time we got there the object was above the street coming toward us. I told my friend to run inside and find a camera. He ran inside screaming and his 5 year old brother came running outside to see what was going on.

A few seconds behind him was their mother who was in her late thirties. My friend came back out without a camera to see what the object was doing. By this time it was hovering directly above us at the height of a two story house.

The object was hovering above us long enough for us to discuss it’s attributes. It was a black triangle shape with four lights, 3 white and one red. The white lights were at the corners and the red light was centered on it’s underside.

There was a low humming sound, but nothing more. No wind, no engine noise, and no movement. We knew it couldn’t be an airplane because it was hovering and we knew it wasn’t a helicopter because it was almost completely silent.

After about 2 minutes of hovering it simply tilted up slightly, probably about 25 degrees, and flew away at a very fast speed heading straight west above the tree line. ((NUFORC Note: Witness suggests that date of incident may be approximate. PD)).

designed like a spare tire, dark back lit port blueish, had been hiding in a forest . That evening i stopped to watch for great horned owls who were nesting in the woods north of the turn off where i parked to watch them. as i pulled off the road into a parking area and was unloading my chair blanket and supper from the truck i heard the sound of breaking branchs in the woods (pine thicket) just to my southeast about two hundred yards distance from my truck i stopped all movement and watched as a craft rose from the wooded area.

it was shaped a lot like a spare tire and rose on edge like a standing tire. once well above (say fifty feet) it turned on it's axess leveled off with the hub cap side up. there was a slow glow from the center underside.

it then moved off several hundred yards gaining height. once the glow started to waver it left going south by east and up and was out of sight in several seconds. back to the craft while it was getting set to move off i was able to get a very good look at it and on the tread edge there were things like piping and unit coverings.

also what apeared to be ports (windows) none were lit but one was back lit by a blue ish light that came in from a hatch (door) the part of one wall i could see had what apeared to be pictures and the outline of some closed unit there was what apeared to be a inset bunk in the wall. craft over all color was dark no lights showed on the outside it was about 35 to 50 feet in diameter say about twenty thick moved without noise. the next day i ask one of the people (a pilot in the civil air patrol) i worked with if he would check with the local airport and see if they had a radar blips .

the answer was nothing unusual ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD)).

The object i observed as i stood on the bank of the yellow river. Near the kankeke river. was as big as four tennis courts stacked two side by side end to end.

Shaped like a triangle. The reason i saw this object was, because i was shooting off fire works rockets and looked up to see why one of the fire works did'nt exsplode.I was standing near a weeping willow tree that stood at least 65ft high.

As i looked up it apeared that part of the sky began to rotate slowly. This is what caught my eye at the same time i heard what sounded like a ''humm'' like a high voltage transformer as i continued to look at this object it apeared to have stars on the out side as if to hide. it apeared to have some dim light comming from it's seams.

As it moved out over the river it droped behind the tree line. This whole insident was just above the tree top. I have kept this to my self for all these years.

Because i didn't think any one would except this story . But i know it happened.

A multi-titled, multi-colored possibly foursided pyramid seen before I entered 2nd grade, brother saw same thing years later. My parents still tell a story about how when I was about to start 2nd grade during our family prayers I jumped up crying and hid in the closet in the room that me and my sister shared. I told them that I was afraid to go to 2nd grade when in fact I was scared of what I had just seen out my window.

My bed was right next a large, nearly full wall window that faced our backyard in the room that I shared with my older sister. My parents sat on the floor and my sister was in her bed and I was in mine. I remember being bored, per usual, and staring out the window when this.

pyramid I suppose floated casually past the window. It wasn't like any of the pyramid's I've looked up online. I guess those are like black triangles with lights on their corners? This was covered in little metallic/chrome-ish rectangles that were either silver or lighting up different colors.

I remember pinks and yellows and blues so nearly primary colors, but you could tell they were still metallic silver underneath. It was weird and seemed to lazily float past. It didn't seem to be propelled by anything and didn't seem to be in any sort of hurry.

Ok and I get it, I was little could have just been my mind messing with me and I can't remember if it was four sided (feel like it was) or three because I only saw it in profile and in my memory it looks like it floated right between my house and the gazebo on our deck which is only about 25 feet or so, so there are clearly some missing pieces. Also I remember it was completely silent. The thing that has finally brought this up in my mind again after 15 years is that my brother is a sophomore in college now and lives in my house here and we were talking about random weird stuff that happened in our old house (which was a lot.

I don’t know if that relates either) when he told me that when he'd been in about 2nd grade he'd been woken up two nights in a row by multi colored lights outside his window on the 2nd story but facing the street not the yard. He said he didn't see any object making them the 1st night because it'd been so bright but that the 2nd he'd seen a pyramid type object. I'd never told anyone about what I'd seen and neither had he till we had this conversation.

Now we just want to know if there’s anyone else who possibly has seen something like this because after looking it up forever and all over the internet I can’t find anything. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).

Triangle ship in Indiana My friend andIi were riding motorcycles after work one night, and stopped for a smoke as we usually did. All of a sudden from the west, we saw three small lights about treetop level coming at us across a field. We sat on our bikes and watched as it got closer.

It finally got close enough to see it was one craft with 3 lights on the bottom. We could make out it was triangular in shape and about 100 feet long and about 100 feet wide at the back. It moved real slow, probably 5-10 miles per hour, never made a sound.

We could make out windows towards the front, but could not see inside. It was so low we could have hit it with a rock. I had the feeling that whoever was inside had seen us.

It kept on traveling to the east, rising up to go over the next set of trees. After that we went home for the night.

Full Report Text:

I saw 6 spherical objects, silver or chrome in color. They were circling around eachother very close and at a high rate of speed. I looked up in the sky at around 4:00pm, and towards the west, I observed 6 or 7 spherical objects moving north in a tight cluster.

They looked very small, though it was hard to tell because I'm not sure how far away they were. They were circling or"dancing" around eachother in a very tight formation, and at a very high rate of speed. It appeared to be some kind of figure 8 pattern they were making around eachother.

Then, they just kind of disappeared, one at a time. It was a clear blue sky in broad daylight. That was the background.

My girlfriend also witnessed the event. I called to her to come & look, because at first I thought it was a smudge on my sunglasses, or my contact lense. Then I realized that smudges don't move and pulsate like that.

We tried to think of anything we could that would identify what we saw, but, we knew it was something that could not be identified. Anything man has made would've crashed doing what they were doing. I'm surprised they DIDN'T crash!.
