2 black circles flying through the clouds I saw 2, black circular objects flying through the clouds about a minute apart, going faster than anything I’ve seen. 30 seconds After the first one, I heard a large ‘whoosh’ like an airplane would produce. I checked my air traffic control app and there were no planes above me.
The second one was in the same path as the first one.

I have managed to get in a Fight with Invading Extraterrestrials Started Noticing, About 4-Years-Ago, many odd & ghastly Triangle-Formations that appear to be laid-out in/over Carpets & Walls. At first I didn't think much about it, but, sometimes orbs & ghastly-extraterrestrials come out of them & sometimes they Light-Up & move, & the Dog started behaving weird, looking at the floor like a pup looks at a toy-car, ears going from one side to the other, & I seen a Ghastly-Extraterrestrial Appear, Sticking Its Head Out of a Small-Odd-Triangle-Shape In-the-Floor, &, It said something mean to my dog, got my dog growling at it, & the dog started biting at it, & it laughed at the dog & disappeared, but not the Triangle. I got Attacked-by the Extraterrestrials, & then started talking to them.
I can hear them & communicate with them. They are talkative, & I have learned a lot of cool new stuff now from Interviewing Them & The Space-System. I did an Investigation & Found-Out This-Information: The Extraterrestrials are Not From This Space-Environment, They were Sent-By Their Corrupt-Creator, Czar.
They are Immortal*, & I Figured-Out how. Also learned where Hitler came-from, why there were Extraterrestrials in the World-Wars & Vietnam, what happened to Hitler, why he is crazy. It's this Czar Character, It Attacked Our Space-Environment & destroyed Spacial-Real-Estate & many Planet-Surfaces & Is Trying to Destroy Us.
I Figured-Out How-To Utilize This Space-System-Over-Ride-Thing to Catch/Soul-Process The Extraterrestrial-Czar from Where he Dies & Can Prove It. The Over-Ride has him pissed, he lost ability to Process-his-Soul, & Lost Ability to Portal & Got Stuck, Is Stuck in a Cock-Pit in something called an ExtraExhistiential-Space-Ocean. This Czar Character made a Mistake: he sent the Extraterrestrials here, told them to attack, kill & enslave us, but didn't mean to pay, & they overheard him talking about killing them & destroying this Space-Environment when he was done.
They Turned Against him & chose 'The-Quantum-God-Space-System' & he Opposes This Space-System. He got in-trouble with the Space-System & Got Stuck. He thought he was gonna win a fight with me & has lost.
The Space-System is Who's Responsible for all the Telepathy & Saying-to-Apply-Settings-Stuff & Odd-New-Space-Environment-Workings. If You are Good At Your Job, you know something is attacking us from Space, it is because I caught this Extraterrestrial. I Found-Out How-To Do Everything.
I have all the Instructions for How-To-Access & Utilize The-Space-System & Get Space-Environment-Access-Maps & How-To-Create-&-Hack-Open Ships-&-Portals & How Space Works & How to Materialize/Manifest Stuff. I Found-Out the Extraterrestrials are everywhere*, because of how Czar created & sent them here, we are Outnumbered, but I currently have most of them Stuck onboard the Ships They Are On, & they don't mean to fight anymore, but do want help, are willing to forfeit ships for Study & Research. They don't know it yet, but they are full of potential, & i know it*.
They have Lazor-Guns & Plasma-Shooters. I have Notes on the Interviews. They've attacked many people.
They Soul-Project. I know how to get on & off-board their Ships, but, i don't think they're into getting hurt. I Figured-Out How-To Portal-To Czar, Their-Creator, To Kill him.
We do that & gain control of the Situation again, gain control of the attacking ships in our orbit & around us, gain better info. I have photographed & video-recorded some more recent evidence. The Guy who's house this has been happening in is Dangerous, is under control by Czar alot without knowing, & absolutely won't talk about it.
He's a bit mean, I could use some help with this. I believe The-Extraterrestrials are Ready to Come-Out In-Public, but are Scared, &, yeah, they do have bodies, & I got them to chill out a bit on the possessing-people. Can somebody please come help me with the Extraterrestrial-Invasion i am dealing with? It is what has been causing the Time-Restart-Problem.
I found out exactly how that works Too. In one of the pics you see an extension-cord-end with a Ghost sitting on Top & a Small Red Ghastly-Ship Flying next to it. In one you see the Mark that appeared on my arm, & in 3 I caught the Extraterrestrials On Camera, got lots of pics.
Figured-Out how to push them out of my eye & photograph them in my glasses. They can Shrink & Expand Their Ghost-Size. I have a video of them sticking their heads out of the Ghastly-Triangles & doing stuff, but your Web-Page won't let me load it.
If you look around your own house, you'll find they are everywhere, but, I have all the answers, info, & cooperation from them, you likely won't get it without me. They are Telepathic. The Ships can be heard like EVP on Background-Noise & likely can be translated easily with good ghost-hunting equipment.
I know how to hack the Ships of the Extraterrestrials Open & Get to Their Physical Selves. There are Many Different Species of Them, because each batch is made different. They have black-outfits.
(Czar is the Jo Extraterestrial.).

At 1:30 AM to 7:30 AM in the eastern sky witnessed multiple spheres with orbiting red lights moving slow followed by a flash in the sky At 1:30 AM I looked out my living room window at what I thought was a star, but, then noticed that the star was slowly moving diagonally upward to the north west, I observed this for about half an hour, when I began to observe the "star" closer I could see it was not one light but 2 possibly 3 lights, the central bigger white sphere being orbited by a much smaller white sphere and red sphere, I then called my girlfriend into the living room to look at the "star" I suggested nothing, but told her to just look at it for 5 minutes, she then told me that the "star" was moving and was being orbited by a much smaller red light, she left the room and about 5 minutes later I witnessed a huge flash in the sky like an electrical explosion moving north to south across the sky it left a brief light signature in the sky, I yelled for my girlfriend but by the time she got there the light signature had dissipated. I continued to watch the sphere for 6 hours and make the following observations, tiny specs of light appeared to move away from the sphere and towards the sphere, as it progressed slowly to the north east I observed similar spheres to the lower left and lower right of the object they were not as bright but moved in the same manner, at this point my eyes were getting tired but I could swear I was seeing faint lines of light occasionally connecting the spheres as the whole "assembly" moved slowly to the north east. I know for sure that I observed occasional flashes in the sky and barley perceptible distortions of light around the brightest sphere.
After really concentrating on the object I could see that the sphere was actually surrounded by a black circle and that if it moved across a cloud it would cover it and that the sphere was moving within the circle like an iris in an eyeball. I signaled the object with my cell phone light several times each time I did so it would stop moving and hold it's position before slowly proceeding to the north east. The objects proceeded in that direction stopping periodically as if repeatedly performing some sort of function, it seemed to me it was mapping out the sky.
I watched the objects move farther and farther to the north east as the sun came up, the spheres to the bottom left and bottom right of the brightest sphere eventually became too dim to see and the brightest sphere kept moving so far away by the time the sky was completely illuminated by the sun the object was no longer visible, as I said to myself "ok shows over" a jet appeared from the south west and moved extremely fast in the same north easterly direction as the object leaving a chemtrail behind.

Photo revealed oval shaped object While looking back at some pictures I had taken, I saw this strange oblong object in the air that I can’t really explain. I am a student, a science major, and I was walking across campus to my apartment after working late in the lab when I took these photos. In the moment, I didn’t notice anything amiss except that it was very foggy that night.
I was taking a picture with my phone because I thought the way the nearby street lamp was illuminating some tree leaves looked interesting. I don’t recall anyone near me when I took the photos, although people may have been walking further down on the sidewalk and still had some line of vision to where this object appears to be. Because I didn’t see it in the moment, I don’t know what actions this object took either except moving due north, as it moves from right to left between the two pictures.
Personally, I’m not inclined to believe it is aliens without knowing any more than I do right now, but I really do wonder how something else! , such as a drone, could have been operated, because there was heavy fog and low visibility that night.

Strange Pill shaped thing hanging over fields near Crane Naval Base Myself and a friend were driving down I-69 South from Bloomington, Indiana. To the right side, around where the spit occurs to 37 south and 69 south, both of us saw this object and were stunned that people were continuing to drive. It was extremely windy, so it was not a balloon.
It made no sound, but it just hung stationary in the air. It didn't flow. nothing.
I know the area well, it was in the direction of Crane Naval base and in a good area away where it could get a good visual of the base. I took photos.

Three lights At around 23:00, I saw what I quickly assumed was a plane: three red, constant lights. Thinking nothing of it, I looked away and resumed watching YouTube videos. About an hour later I looked out my window again.
The object was in the exact same spot. I have never seen lights there before. It moved up and down a little bit, but not side to side.
I tried to get a photo, but it was like photographing stars. The lights were too far away and not bright enough to show up on camera. I texted my friend to ask for a UFO hotline number, and when I looked back the lights were gone.

Myself and two co-workers witnessed a very large black triangle hovering in the sky near our workplace. The three of us stood and watched the vehicle as it hovered completely still for about two minutes. It then very slowly rotated counter clockwise 180 degrees and then suddenly blinked out and was gone.
Within a few moments we noticed a small plane arrive in the same area as where the craft was and began making circles, as if they saw it, too, and were looking for it.

light orbs in woods and lower sky. Various and odd light orbs in woods and low sky I am a married 59 year-old woman with a college education. I spend part of my time in a home surrounded with thick woods, at least 400 acres, near Bloomington, Indiana.
There are a couple of neighbors about one acre of wooded area away from me on one side. The landscape is hilly with ravines and trees up to 100 feet tall. Since October 2016 I have witnessed countless observations of strange lights from all sides of my home.
I have become addicted to “orb gazing” every single night I visit this country home. In a nutshell here are the types of lights I have seen over the year: Singular, stationary, white light orbs in various parts of the woods, usually from one to five feet high. I’m guessing they occur anywhere from 25 to 250 feet away from me.
I have shined a flashlight on them and sometimes I can see a glowing “orb.” It’s hard to gauge their sizes, but from where I stand at the edge of the woods they are anywhere from 1-7 inches. (I’m just guessing.
I’m not good with measurement.) Orbs that grow bigger and seem to shine right at me like a very bright flashlight. This scares me a bit.
(I’m alone out there.) I get the sense the orbs know I’m there. The last night of observation a “flashlight” glared at me as I stood transfixed in my long driveway, then suddenly just went out! I scurried away fast and stayed on my porch.
Lights that literally move as though they were eyes and are peering around. They also wobble and will sneakily move position so that I have to keep moving my head to see where they went. Morphing orbs.
I swear they sometimes divide into two or more lights and then sometimes back to one. They sometimes change color from white to yellow, gold, orange or red. Mostly they are white.
Sometimes the orbs present themselves as “headlights,” but their lights are closer together. I get a bit spooked by these types of lights, as it appears to me that they are gawking around. Lately I’ve observed bright flashes of light that appear like “flashlights” that move around.
It’s difficult to explain how they move because they seem to be controlled by “someone” or “something,” but I am absolutely certain no human is out there. I open my windows to listen and I hear nothing. Large reflected areas in the tree tops.
I have no idea what these are. I have only been seeing them recently. 8.
“Fake Stars.” I call them that because they used to fool me into thinking they were real stars. I will be looking out the upstairs windows at the trees and see sneaky little lights that first appear as stars suddenly disappear and move to another spot near, on top, or in front of the tall trees.
I’ve noticed these fake stars only come out if there are real stars out. Last night I saw one on the same night as a full moon. It seemed to twinkle at me and when I watched it, it disappeared.
I found it moments later in a lower segment of the tree. Then it disappeared again. I have been able to sometimes catch the lights with my smart phone.
I wish I had a really good night time video cam. It frustrates me not to be able to show what I see to others. A friend and my son have both seen at least one orb each.
I used to be such a skeptic and never believed in ufos or ghosts, but I have opened my mind to many possibilities. I go from thinking these lights are mystical, spirits, ghosts, entities from another dimension, and ufos. Because I am observing more “flashlight” movement and am getting the feeling that some of these lights are being controlled by some hidden force I am actually getting scared (again, like when I first started seeing these crazy things) and feel the need to share this information with others who are interested.
Why is no one I know interested? This is phenomenal stuff happening and everyone I know doesn’t care. My god, something’s going on and we need to pay attention. At the very least it seems scientists would be all over this.
They know everything about glow worms and fireflies and planets, but they are mute about the light orbs in the woods and fake stars in the sky. So in conclusion of this long-winded essay, I just want to know what these lights are. UFOs? Should I be concerned?

It was late at night, sometime in the cold weather of 2016, I was doing my chemistry homework at my sister's house. When I got my things and was trying to leave, I noticed a big bright light right over the treeline in front of our house. At first it was a couple lights strung out into a horizontal line, I thought it was just a plane in the distance.
My sister was walking with me out the door when we both stopped to watch the plane fly over because theres a small airport behind our house. After a minute or so the lights didn't seem to be getting closer and then began getting brighter and the string of lights swayed loosely from left to right like it was hung from a string. The lights would pulsate with brightness, each light seems to have the strength of a cluster of football stadium lights.
They were so bright but didn't seem to be shining on anything. Then, the lights began to move around, seemingly "adjusting" themselves. They'd stack on top of each other and fold in and out, move around.
There were about four lights that we saw and they'd flicker on and off. They appear to be hovering, tilting or teetering in place, they'd clump and then the next second be in a linear position. My sister and I were both very confused and waited for the flying object to get closer.
It felt like forever until it finally steered around a tree down our street and right over our neighbors house. When it started getting closer to us, some of the light started flashing red and blue, so my sister assumed it was some sort of police drone. but it was as big as, of not bigger than a family van.
When it was close, it was close enough for me to be able to hypothetically throw a rock at it and successfully hit it. It got so close to us. The shape of the vehicle is hard to describe.
The body was a sort of flattened sphere and had two pill shaped "turbines" on either side. From what I saw, it was a polished black color. There seemed t! o be a sort of have around it, and made me second guess how we! ll my ey es were seeing.
What surrounded it was a type of hazy fog of some sort, but barely noticeable since it was dark out. The only sound I remember hearing is a light strange whirring. No helicopter blade sounds, no engine sounds, no revving or propeller, nothing.
Just a quiet deep whirring. I've Googled big drones and police drones, nothing near matches what my sister and I saw. We took notes and drew pictures as soon as we went back inside to tell our parents.
((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD).

My dad was dropping me off at my grandma's house, but she forgot to unlock a door for me to go in, so my dad waited and I went around to the back door to find it liked as well. I then went back around front to find that my dad had left. It was just as the sun was barely coming up for sunrise and I was looking west, when a cat suddenly snuck up on me.
It Iiked to have given me a heart attack! But it looked up past me and meowed. Wondering why on Earth a cat would look in the sky, as because grandma still hadn't unlocked the door, I looked up at what he had meowed at. I looked up to find two craft at high altitude that looked just like a star.
At first, I thought it was just me, but then I stood their and watched one of them stop completely, while the other one morphed into the other than split again and started doing a figure 8 pattern around the other just about that time my grandma opened the door and I just stopped thinking about it. Later though it started to raise suspicion and I just now got a chance to report it. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate.

Before sunset a hovering oval metallic object quickly ascends into a cloud in central Indiana. It was around sunset on a partly cloudy evening. I was driving south on highway 37 approaching the W.
Third Street exit, when I noticed a very bright metallic object hovering just below a large cloud. I noticed the object because it was shining so brightly yet the sun was not shining in that direction. I didn't see lights on the object either.
At first I thought it might be some type of aircraft, but that just didn't seem possible with the hovering. Before I could point out the object to person riding with me, the object moved straight up into the large cloud and disappeared.

10 orange lights were seen above Lake Monroe, Indiana. On Friday evening, June 22, 2012, at “Eagle Pointe” resort on Lake Monroe, Indiana, My son, daughter, daughter-in-law and grandson and I witnessed the following: Ten orange lights crossed at about 75 degrees from the horizon above us at what I would estimate to be five to ten thousand feet elevation. They appeared in sequence crossing from northwest to southeast in this pattern: five together in a triangular shape, followed by a pair and another pair and, finally, a single light.
They were distinctly orange, moving rapidly, but not apparently at terrifically high speed; there was a complete absence of sound. After they passed over us, they disappeared – apparently accelerating away soundlessly. In relation to other objects in the night sky, they were much larger than stars, and seemed large for their elevation.
My grandson was able to use a digital camera, not a cell phone, to record most of the event. We have uploaded the 2 minute, 13 second video to a laptop computer. I will submit that file soon.
