Light object with reported change of internal state Hello UFO Center, I am very hesitant to report this because I know in our society Aliens are not taken seriously. It was dark outside and suddenly we heard a noise coming from afar it sounded like a mix between an jet plane and a jet ski. It was really weird and then we saw it in the distance a light, it appeared convex kind of like an old TV.

It's hard to explain it was like a convex square. My friend Joeseph agreed with me(he was there) that he saw it too. We felt energy and love come over us.

I am not religious but for a moment I thought it may have been jesus. My friend said Jesus was fake and that it was probably an alien. I thought aliens were hostile but idk I am open minded to the possibility of life outside of humans after this experience.

Glowing, flashing, spinning orb, spotted moving around in night sky I emailed this report to your organization's director on Jan. 7 soon after the sighting. This is a video of a possible UFO I spotted from near the dike off Pomeroy Terrace in Northampton, MA, USA at around 8:30 p.

m. on Jan. 7, 2021: https://www.

youtube.com/watch?v=mKFMNoTvKe0 It appeared in the southeast sky. I shot this video with an iPhone and zoomed in further with editing software.

The first 50 seconds or so is the zoomed-in version. After that, it's the regular shot. I have no idea what the object is.

I'm not a UFO expert so I'm not making any claims as to what it may be. But I am very curious to find out more from reputable sources. I reported it to the National UFO Reporting Center and the Massachusetts National Guard just for good measure.

I did not immediately hear back from either organization.

Triangle ufo following ct river up stream Noticed an object near local small airport, figured it was a plane, but realized there were no wings. Saw red light and said to my 11yr old here comes a helicopter. So we watched as it was coming closer, until it slightly turned and the Sun brightly reflected off its side and nearly made it invisible.

Realizing no sound, thought it was a balloon, but it was a perfect triangle. Staying at about 600' above ground, it traveled North filling the CT river, winding as the river does. Seemed to be mapping the river.

Yellow glowing oval seen by hundreds of spectators after a fireworks display in Northampton, MA It was the night of the fireworks celebration at Look Park in Northampton, MA. The fireworks had just ended and my three children, mother and I were walking back to our car along with the hundreds of other spectators. I happened to look up and I saw a glowing yellow light in the sky at about helicopter height.

It was hovering above and to the northeast of us, moving slightly west. It made no sound. The light was oval shape and a bright yellow like a the color of a traffic light.

It mostly held its shape, but every so often a flicker would come out of it at random intervals and at random places close to the main body, like a flame. It appeared to be roughly the size of a helicopter, but taller. When I looked I could see a cone made of the same yellow light coming out from the top, shaped like a bullhorn, the narrow part attached to the main body and the opening toward us.

The cone, though it shone as if it were made out of light, ended in a sharp line and was about 1/3 the length of the body of the main craft. This cone swept the area as if in surveillance once, twice, then disappeared, so that only the main oval was visible. The object then moved slightly faster, continuing to the west, maintaining the same height.

I watched the light until it was quite far west, but then continued walking back to the car. Many spectators in the area saw it too and commented on how extremely unusual it was, and no one could place what it could possibly be.

Diamond-shaped UFO seen near Northampton, Massachusetts My 20-year-old daughter was driving back to Northampton after dropping a friend off at the Hartford Airport. It was already dark and shortly after 5:00 pm. She was on the freeway very close to the Smith College exit into Northampton, MA when she saw flashing lights out of the corner of her eye.

She looked through her windshield to the right and saw a diamond-shaped object that appeared to be either very close--about 200 yards away and only 500 or so feet up--or very large. This was a discreet object. Each point of the diamond-shaped object had a red light.

These red lights flashed rhythmically and in unison. Every now and again, a white, translucent light would "scatter" flash across and around the body of the craft. She says that the craft appeared to be metallic, that she could clearly see its shape, and that it was stationary.

She tried to take a picture of it with her cell phone, but was so rattled that her hand blocked the shot (she continued to! drive down the freeway during her sighting). She glanced down to place her cell phone on the passenger seat and when she looked back up (after only a couple of seconds), the craft was gone. She pulled over to the side of the highway and got out of her car to search the sky because she couldn't fathom how the object could simply disappear the way it did.

She said that the experience was "freaky," but not frightening. She said that she immediately felt that what she was seeing was "not normal," and she said that she felt as if she was being observed during her sighting. She also thinks it's significant that the object disappeared immediately after she tried to take a picture of it.

When she got back to Smith College, she talked about her sighting to several of her friends, one of whom volunteered that this past summer, she had also had a sighting of a diamond-shaped UFO just sitting over a Burger King in Amherst. This area of Massachusetts is known as Pioneer Valley.

Eight bright yellow lights flying north to south several hundred feet above the Connecticut river. It was very quick, while enjoying an evening at Sheldon [baseball] Field, eight bright yellow lights flew by several hundred feet in the air along the path of the Connecticut river, flying from the north to the south. The lights looked like those on the tips of aircraft wings at night, but it was still light out and they were not attached to anything, just floating/flying orbs.

08/10/10. Approximately 10 PM, two white lights in formation seen moving very quickly across sky in direct northerly direction. On August 10, 2010, at approximately 10:00 PM, I went into my backyard to look up at the stars in hopes of seeing some "shooting stars.

" I wasn’t disappointed, and in the course of about 20 minutes or so I saw 5 or 6. I have often witnessed satellites smoothly moving across the night skies, looking like the stars, but just moving quietly, quickly and smoothly. Tonight, though, I witnessed two very distinct but small white lights moving across the sky from south to north, straight across the sky, more quickly than I’ve seen anything, other than the "shooting stars," but nearly at that speed.

They moved in a completely straight line, in a directly northerly direction. They were next to each other, but in a formation where one was slightly in front of the other. That’s it.

Nothing other than that, but definitely not aircraft, satellites, meteorites or space junk.

Pure white, opaque, slightly elliptical, non-luminous thing moving at a very high rate of speed, with no apparent effect on atmosphere. I witness the UFO while driving north on I91 between Northampton and Amherst on a crystal clear day with a few clouds. I noticed it to left in the distance above the tree line.

It was all white with no distinguishing marks or details, and it had a slight oval shape. The longer dimension of it went side-to-side and it was tilted left-side-down, about 20 degrees, and moving in that direction. It looked to be descending slightly.

I would have thought that it was nothing more than a wisp of cloud except that it was moving extremely fast. I can not make a fair estimate, but its speed was orders of magnitude faster than a prop-plane. I witnessed a plane flying much closer to me (I was passing a small airport at the time) and the speed of that plane seemed almost nill compared to the UFO.

I would estimate that I first noticed it at a distance of several miles and it traveled several miles in the time I witnessed it. The highway I was on was bending right while the craft was moving left. The tree line was rising and I quickly lost sight of the craft.

What I saw was unlike any UFO report I have ever heard. I saw what seemed to be a pure white, opaque, slightly elliptical, non-luminous thing moving at a very high rate of speed, with no apparent effect on the atmosphere.

February 20th, 2006 - Bright ball changing direction and shape in Western sky over Western Massachussettes with green and blue lights. My daughter and I were facing West. A VERY very bright ball light started moving up and west into the sky at a much faster speed than an aircraft, with absolutely no sound.

When it reached 3/4 of the way up, it rotated 45 degrees or so, and we could see what looked like an underside. There were 3-4 bright blue lights in semi-circles at the top and bottom long sides, and greenish 1/4 circles at the front and back (assuming that was the front and back) then it stayed in that position and took off to the North-East going only slightly faster than it's ascencion, and kind of circled up/down and went completely out of my visual range. I can't say that is was round or oblong or what, but the way it looked was a kind of oblong star shape, if that makes any sense.

And the night is completely clear with little or no moon at this time.
