Fox News UFO I was watching FOX news yesterday around 11:45 AM, I imagine, when all of the sudden just before my eyes start to glaze over I noticed a strange egg-shaped orb come out from behind the building on the news program Happening Now. I have a youtube video that i uploaded immediately. It's not a typical border graphic because there is only one and it curves upward in the middle of the screen.
I was able to get this on video because I have a dvr that can rewind the program on tv. Here is the link: http://youtu.be/pAELQOhOn9A.

Lights over Indiana or Ohio 10/12/2007 Fri, Oct 12, 2007 - Denver International (DEN) to Logan International (BOS) Flight United 0354 United Departs Denver International (DEN) 03:41 P M Arrives Logan International (BOS) 09:30 PM I was on this flight last Friday evening and approximately 20 minutes after flying over Chicago I watched some lights in the sky I could not explain. I estimated my location to be over either Indiana or Ohio. I was sitting on the left side of the plane, the sky was clear and we were traveling over what looked to be countryside with a spattering of small towns as indicated by lights from the towns and darkness in the countryside.
While looking out the window I saw 3 round lights down near the ground. We were at cruising altitude, over 30,000’ but I don’t know the exact altitude. The lights were low near the ground, and I would guess them to be a half mile above ground.
At first, I thought they were spotlights coming from the ground, but there was no beam coming up or source of the light. I then thought it must be light from above, like some type of aircraft shining lights down, but there were no other marked lights as a source of the lights above the lights, just the lights themselves. The lights were moving in a circular pattern and never stopped.
There were a maximum of three, and they would merge into one or two, and then split back into three. They did this nonstop while maintaining a rotating pattern I estimated to cover 20 miles. The lights did not appear to have any mass to them, just glowing disks of light.
They were not evenly illuminated, and never changed color, nor did they illuminate anything but themselves. I watched them the entire time the plane passed over them, and they never left the area. I watched until the plane was too far downrange for me to see them.
The passengers behind and in front of me had their blinds closed, so I didn’t say anything to them. Call after 6PM mtn time.

I was asleep in my bed and woke up suddenly (I face the door to my room when I sleep)I saw the door was opened a little bit and knew something wasnt right becouse I sleep with the door shut. I was the only one home at the time too so I knew that som one had to have opened it. I lay there frozen, afraid to get up and see what was going on.
then I looked over to my left and there were two beings standing at the side of my bed. I just couldnt belive it I thought I was dreaming or something. So they were kind of whiteish color and had a sort of a glow to them that was amazing.
Then I looked over at the door and there was one there too like gaurding it or something. Then the one closest to me reached out and touched my ribs on my left side. All of the while the other two were just sort of standing around watching.
The one touching my ribs looked at me right in the eyes and he said not be afraid ,they did not come to harm me. I was so scared I couldnt even yell or talk. It was like I was in a sort coma where I was aware of everything around me but couldnt speak or move.
This lasted for about two or three minutes and the next thing I knew I woke up on the other side of my room on the floor, naked. It was really weird too becouse my side was really cold where I was being touched.My door was closed like normal, I looked at my clock and it was 400 am.
I couldnt swallow or anything becouse my mouth and throat were so dry and I was curled up in a little ball. The beings were like I said before, whiteish in color and had a sort of glow around them. They had big black eyes and really big heads with no ears.
Also I was able to notice they had really long fingers. I dont know but it scared me so bad I am having trouble sleeping. I dont even sleep in my room I have been stayin with a friend and dont even really try to sleep becouse I am scared it will happen again.

One small cylindrical object in sky I was standing in my patio when I saw a cylinder shaped object moving in semi circle clockwise then anti-clockwise. To make sure I was not dreaming, I took a few steps forward and then moved to the other side of the patio. The object was clearly visible in the bright sunlight at an altitude of a low flying small aircraft - like a PIPER or CESSNA.
The object was smaller than a small aircraft but shining brightly indicating its metallic surface or something shiny on its surface reflecting the bright sunlight. The object was moving West to East at a moderate speed. The object was definitely NOT A PLANE OF ANY KNOWN COMMERCIAL SHAPE OR MAKE.
IT WAS NOT A BALLON OR KITE OR A BIRD. IT WAS AN OBJECT. I then ran in and called my wife.
By the time she could come out, the object was out view - there was a big tree right outside our patio blocking the view. I grabbed a camera and ran outside to take a picture. It was too late.
The object was gone. I looked all around in the sky, it was not to be seen. There were some larger trees, and it is possible my sight of the object could have been blocked by those trees.
What is interesting is that the object had suddenly appeared in my view from nowhere. Though I was standing in the patio, looking at the sky and enjoying the beautiful summer day for at least five minutes before the object appeared, I did not see it until it was quite late. AND THERE WAS NO SOUND COMING FROM THE OBJECT.
I have not discussed this with anyone nor do I plan to discuss this with anyone. I want to remain anonymous and hence I am not providing my correct name or contact information. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous, and provides no contact information.
Date of incident is approximate, and location of the sighting in Indiana is unknown. PD)).

Followed by three craft on return trip to Columbus from Chicago. I and a friend ((name deleted)) were returning from a trip to Chicago where we went for guidance at the SGI-USA Chicago Culture Center, a Buddhist organization which we are both members of. I was the primary driver as Debbie has MS and can't drive all that well.
We had stopped at a truckstop inside the Indiana line to allow me to get a few hours sleep. At one point ((deleted)) started the car and drove to the next stop as I slept. When I awoke it was almost midnight and I took over the driving from then on.
I am concious of being an abductee and am part of ((deleted)) study group. I have only been able to have memories of the very beginning and or the very end of eppisodes. I have felt someone standing on my bed or seen bodies next to me as I lie in bed, but I haven't been able to remember anything in between.
As this trip was coming up I essentially invited anyone who wanted to to "come and play" as I put it. As I drove on toward Indianapolis after a while ((deleted)) asked if stars moved. I said well they shimmer due to the atmosphere is that what you mean? She said no I'm seeing one oh no there are two no wait there are three lights moving with us as we are driving.
I couldn't see anything as I was paying attention to the road. At one point during this period I openly called to the craft and ((deleted)) screamed "Oh my god!" when I asked her what happened she said that as I was talking to the craft what she at first thought was a very bright light in the fields next to the highway flew almost instantly toward the car and was next to the passenger side window for about 5 seconds as we were going 65 mph. When that was happening I had the feeling like something was happening in my mind, I can only discribe it as a fuzzy vibration that was supperimposed and lasted till the ball of light sped away.
After she saw the light speed off she reportedthat the craft were having a light show of blinking on and off as if the ships were communicating with each other. I was by this time anxious to see this all for my se! lf and a t the next turnoff went to one of the corn fields to stop and get out of the car. I saw two of the three craft going away toward Illinois and one coming toward us.
((name deleted)) freaked out at this point, she said it was because this was klan country and a white guy and Black woman were in danger here. So I got back on the Highway and was told the craft was still following us. In my mind I was saying "if you want to have me talk to you you're going to have to get ((name deleted)) to sleep, she won't let me stop.
" After a while she did fall asleep. I waited till I was sure that she wouldn't wake up and took the first exit I could find. When I stopped the car in the corn field this time I got out of the car and saw a lowhanging cloud in front of me with the craft hidden just at the bottom edge of the clouds.
There were two sets of lights on the craft a set of blue lights on the top and a set of red on the bottom. There were 4 or 5 lights visable above and below and they were going in sequence in opposite directions I never saw the body of the craft itself only the running lights. I said that I was going inside the car now and if you want to come and get me you can.
I have no memory of what happened. But I was informed by friends of mine that they came to do a "memory retrieval" from me. The entire evening there were no clouds in the sky except when I stopped to let them visit me.
