Orange ball shoots across the sky. I was standing on my back porch with my dog and looking at the stars and watching the treetops sway in the breeze. It was a pretty clear night, there was a crescent moon to the left and stars and dark to the right.

An orange ball appeared out of nowhere above the tree tops - it was bigger than the moon, but it seemed very far away. It was really quiet. I looked at it, trying to figure out what it was.

Then - bam! - it took off. It looked like a big cone. It went left - horizontally - across the sky and then disappeared.

I thought maybe it was a comet or something but all the pictures of comets I see online are white/blue - not orange - and this was very orange. It also didn't dissipate, like a shooting star does. And it went horizontal, it did not move DOWN it went ACROSS.

December 2009 UFO Crash/Landing in Norton/Attleboro, MA Area night of Snowstorm On a December night in 2009, my then girlfriend at the time and I saw an unidentified flying object crash to the ground in Norton, MA. I am not sure exactly what the date was, but am sure that it was prior to Christmas 2009. Potentially a week or so before.

She picked me up at my residence on East Main Street in Norton, MA around 9 or 10 PM, as she was sent home early from her evening shift due to the snow storm. The snow at the time was heavy, wet and about six inches, it accumulated very quickly. She even got her car stuck in the snow and my friends had to help her get back on the road by pushing the car.

it was so slick out that her tires just spun. It took about 6 adult males to get the car back in the street. Both she and I were 30 at the time.

We are both college educated. Her father is a retired FBI agent, her brother an active agent. My father was the CEO of a major international company for a while and at that time the CEO of a start-up.

Both my girlfriend at the time and I were completely sober. I know that I and she had not taken any alcohol or substance for months, as our relationship was based around staying clean. After she picked me up and my friends helped push the car back on the road, we headed South West East Main Street in Norton past Wheaton College toward downtown Norton.

Wheaton College was only 1/4 a mile from my residence. We were in the car for only about 3 mins, sliding all over the road, when we saw an object that appeared to be glowing green come shooting from the sky down to earth. The object was not a refection on the falling snow, believe me.

It was very clear through the storm due to how bright it was. We we heading on East Main Street (Rt 123) heading South West when we saw the object appear from seemingly no where, it was very bright and was glowing green and falling at the speed of a jet. The object was falling from the Southwest, but more west than south.

So we were coming towards rte 123 and 140 in Norton towards Norton Center and if you had norton center as south, the object fell at the west. I am not sure of the shape, as it was falling too fast and the green light around it had yellow, red and white on it. I thought and still think it was a meteor and in fact reported it to an online meteor sight.

The object was very very clear, snow or no snow, there was no obstruction, it was big and bright and moving extremely fast as though falling out of the sky. The last I saw it was to heading about 5 miles west of Norton Center (where we were heading) and it disappeared below the tree line. The object was in the sky long enough for me to point it out to my then girlfriend who said something like holy s#@t what is that and, because she was driving so slow due to the snowstorm and since no one was on the road (it was a really really bad storm), she was easily able to see it to.

It’s hard to say what it was, it could have been a meteor, a ufo. It could have been a rectangle, square or round, I don’t know. It appeared round because it was falling and had a greenish, yellowish, whitish orb and tail around it.

100% if was not flying across the sky, I have seen many a shooting star and this was close, in our atmosphere and crashed somewhere probably near the Norton, Attleboro line. We saw it go from the sky, get bigger and closer and it was heading directly to the ground. There is a small regional airport in Norwood, MA, it was not a plane, you would not have been able to see a plane in that storm and this object was very clear and broke through the clouds at a speed that small planes cannot get to.

It also very clearly hit the ground, we saw it go below the trees.no fireball, nothing like that, not plane crashes reported. What I want to know is did anyone else see this object, this bright glowing object falling to the ground in Norton, MA on December of 2009 during the snowstorm.

My then girlfriend and I saw it. Both of us had never seen a UFO before. I assume all UFO’s are government crafts, don’t really believe in aliens, but I’ve been proven wrong before.

All I know is that we had clear minds, were in the act of falling in love and both audibly were shocked by the object that we saw crash to earth. We both said well, that must be a meteor, but who knows. It was soooooo bright someone, someone, a plow driver, someone must have seen it too.

Triangular object, slow moving with red central light and white v-shaped lights on corners of triangle. I was driving home from work at about 6:40 p.m.

on rt 97 in Georgetown, MA when I saw something flying not too far above the trees from east to west. It didn't appear to be extremely large, and was clearly not very high above the trees (perhaps only 500 feet above the ground or less), so it caught my attention. It also wasn't moving quickly--- in fact, it wasn't moving at a steady rate of speed either.

It was moving like a car might move when people are in a parking lot looking for a space to park, steadily moving but at different rates depending on the view. It was nearly perfectly triangular, at least as far as I could tell. The tips of the triangle's corners were edged in white constantly shining "v"-shaped lights, and at the exact center was a red, unblinking light.

I thought at that speed it traveled that it must be a helicopter. I hit the brakes and would have stopped except for the traffic. Whatever it was, it slowly crossed over above the trees by th! e elementary school, where it appeared to hover briefly.

I opened the window to try and hear the typical whoosh-thump of a helicopter, but instead heard only a whining hum similar to the sound of a slowing jet turbine or a large centrifuge. I looked forward for the split second to drive safely on the street, and the next moment I glanced back at it was gone, except for a brief wink of red light on the distant horizon. I had only seen it for perhaps a minute total of driving time.

Smooth moving orb with four rotating lights ! We were driving to the train station at 915 when we saw an orb like bright light moving in our direction aprox. 200-300 feet above the ground. We both were amazed and I stuck my head out of the window to get a better look.

It was almost directly above us and it was no longer a bright white light but an oval shaped craft with a square compartment on the bottom that was spinning clockwise. There were 4 colored lights on the bottom (2 red and 2 blue) after looking at it for about 2 minutes it vanished. My eyes couldnt stop watering for about an hour.

Full Report Text:

I saw a rotational light above a treeline in the woods of my town after work. Hi, I’m ((male's name deleted)), I live in the Boston suburbs, I have a Bachelor Degree in English from University of Massachusetts Amherst. The event took place in my hometown, Milton, a Boston suburb in late October 2009 (I think it was on Wednesday, the 28th of October).

The event occurred at night. I was driving back from a job site in Marlborough, Massachusetts, and after exiting the highway in Canton, Massachusetts, entered the roads of a small nature reserve called The Blue Hills, heading towards Milton. It was raining lightly.

I was driving on Unquity Road in the Blue Hills, headed towards the intersection of Blue Hill Parkway and Canton Ave, in Milton, around 6:40 pm when I noticed, to the left side of the road above the tree line, a rotational light, as though a lighthouse was built in the middle of the woods. I looked at it, knowing that it was a UFO, for that could be the only explanation of the sight. Just as I am paying attention to the light, I see an asterisk shaped blob of light on the side of the road, followed by the image of a medium height gray alien.

I couldn’t keep my eyes on it, and had to keep driving, as it was rush hour and traffic was heavy. After the event, I started feeling ill, getting panic attacks, then, in 2012 May, started having visions of an alien gray in what I can only describe as telepresence. I was working as an intern at a domain parking company in Waltham, and one day after leaving the office, entered my parents home in Milton, going upstairs.

I looked in the guest room because something caught my eye, and witnessed a short gray alien with a large head situated within the wall of the room above the bed. I walked back and forth a few times, in disbelief, then as I sat down at my desk in my room, thinking about what I had seen, the creature began to engage me, entering my thinking space and thus began what has become commonplace to me over the past 8 years. First, the gray seemed to produce an image of Storm from the X-Men (old animated series that was on TV in the 1990’s) which the gray used to communicate to me.

I understood this as the gray had scanned my memory, since I used to watch that show frequently as a child. Over the years I have been bedazzled by dozens of sights similar to this one, I assume the gray has been making, confusing and befuddling me. I initially asked to be left alone, but the gray refused saying “no” when I asked it to leave.

I then began having debilitating visions, leaving me unable to work that lasted all summer (2012), briefly leaving me in peace for 8 months the following fall and winter through spring, then returning, horrifying me summer of 2013 to current present (2020). Every once and a while the visions become very strong, startling and overpowering me. The creatures (there appears to be more than one now) seem upset that I seek out information about UFO sightings, insisting that I turn back (telling me to “turn back”), though I have tried that to no avail, as it seems to persist in engaging me, burrowing into my thought, even indicating it was planning on getting violent.

The aliens repeatedly use words from Proto Indo European, that I had to look up online, often saying “sair” which I found on Wictionary as some Portuguese word meaning “leave.” They also say “zair” which I have discovered means “die.” These two words they say the most.

It is unnerving. I have experienced sleep paralysis often since then, seeing a blue tinged insectoid alien twice. I have told the local Fire Department about my sighting.

I seem to be in constant communication with the entity/entities; it is very unpleasant as it appears I am merely allowed to sleep. I feel as though I have been snared by the creatures, and if they wanted they could kill me by preventing me from sleeping. I often times have closed eye visions of alien grays, light browns (like from the cover of Strieber’s book Communion), reptilians, and stranger looking creatures.

I have experienced being tazed by them from an unseen weapon while trying to fall asleep once (in the absence of sleep paralysis), as they are able to that also. My experience has been very complex, confusing and drawn out.

lights in the skies of Aubunr, Mass. september 20th 2009 around 10:00p.m.

a fellow worker and i saw a bright white star-like light in the sky I didnt think too much of it untill my friend told me to look up at it. the star-like light was moving in a zig zag pattern at a rapid rate of speed. it did so for about thirty seconds before it came to a complete stop and then went to a slow zig zag pattern, as it did this the brightness of the object faded away and when it was almost as dark as the night sky, it flashed bright red and dissapeared.

awe-struck my friend and I looked at each other and as we did (this took place about 1 second after the red light vanished) the headlights of one of the tow trucks we have in the parking lot turned on directly at us. i went in the locked office to get the keys to unlock the truck and when i did the lights were in the off position.

White light with no known source fading into a mist without sound on cloudless night To whom it may concern: I am writing to report a UFO sighting that occurred this evening, September 19, 2009, at approximately 8 p.m. EST in the hills of western Massachusetts.

My husband, sons and I were returning home in our car, when I spotted something in the sky. At first glance, I thought it was a helicopter with a spotlight hovering over a house a few houses down from ours. The light made a cone shape with the widest part closer to the earth and the apex was very bright.

We pulled into our driveway and got out of the car, and there was no sound coming from it, eliminating the possibility of a helicopter. Then, it appeared as if the “spotlight” retreated into a small cloud or a sort of a mist and faded out. The “mist” quickly dissipated.

There is a cloudless sky here tonight, and so whatever the mist was came from the object that we couldn’t see. It was just a light and then it was gone. There was no smell.

We have eliminated the possibility of a flare, firework, or aircraft. No lightening. I! t is a clear, starry, cool, late summer, early fall evening.

I am at a loss. I hope I have described this adequately enough. Thank you J.

We called 911 and reported this to the Bourne State police barracks. No way we were the only ones who saw this. While driving westbound on Rt 195 in Wareham, we saw what appeared to be a spotlight in the sky just off to the left of the center of the windshield.

I wondered why I didn't see any other lighting from what I thought must have been an airplane behind some mist but then I realized there were no clouds in the sky. There was no evident body of any aircraft supporting this light. The spotlight with a specific cone shape began to grow from some stationary position (distance not determined) and suddenly disappeared with an illuminating misty smoke left behind.

We continued to drive west and realized we were not driving past the mist or whatever it was. We continued to drive toward it which made me realize how enormous this thing had to be since it was obviously miles above the earth and many miles away from us. I would guess that this took place over Buzzards Bay or even further.

I have never seen anything like it. No way this was a satellite, plane or helicopter! . * Air Force base is East of incident in Falmouth, Mass ((NUFORC Note: Missile launch.

Bright pure white cone of light, not moving, over northwestern Connecticut, for about 20 seconds While watching the stars (as I do each evening with my son), I noticed a very bright, pure white light due south of our location. It was approximately 40 degrees above the horizon, and looked like a light shining down on the Earth -- that is, it was shaped like a cone, brightest at the top and fading out at the lower edge, which was about 5-10 degrees lower. Several things struck me about this event.

First, it was very large, covering several degrees of the sky horizontally and vertically. Second, the apex of the cone was flattened, as you would see if someone were shining a flashlight down -- it wouldn't come to a perfect point, it would be flat at the rim of the flashlight. Third, it did not move at all -- at first it reminded me of a comet, but I knew that couldn't be, and then a meteor, but that would be true only if it were coming straight at me (which is possible).

I turned to the screen door and called for my wife to come see. When I turned back, ther! e was only a luminescent cloud where the light had been shining. My wife, exiting another door, confirmed this.

Could it have been a meteor coming head-on at us? That's the best explanation I can come up with. There were commercial aircraft in the vicinity, what I believe was regular westbound traffic from Logan or Bradley airports. ((NUFORC Note: Missile launch.

Strange light progressivly brighter, cone of light from below in Massachusetts, ~addendum~ I was outside on my driveway, talking to my friend on my cell phone. I was looking into the night sky since it was unusually clear and starry. I was facing south-west when suddenly, what I thought was a star, looking like all other stars, started to get progressively brighter.

From below a light started to emit down like a skirt, or a cone, very slowly. It almost seemed like a comet coming from the earth, except that it wasn’t moving, it was sitting perfectly still. I ran in to get my girlfriend to see what was happening.

Just as she was coming out, the object that was emitting this light seemed to have shot straight up, and the cone of light started to disperse.
