Craft rises slowly into space, takes off at speed of light into space. Was sitting out back of house alone looking at stars. Very clear night where you could see the milky way.
Bright light came from West,about the height of a regular airplane. No sound. Stopped dead in the sky almost above me.
Watched it slowly get dimmer and dimmer as it rose into space till it was faint. Took off at what had to be the speed of light, headed East. Made one streak across the whole sky in a blink.
Could tell it headed out into space. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD)).

Objects flying over Portland, Maine in V shape One night in the 1990's in Portland, Maine myself and four other people witnessed several unidentified flying objects. At first it appeared to be one large V shaped object flying with nose of the V pointed to our left. The object consisted of several balls of white lights.
We watched the object for several minutes in amazement trying to figure out what it was. The Portland Jetport is to the right of where we were looking. My family has lived in the house we were standing in front of for decades and I have seen thousands of planes fly over our house throughout the years, the sound when they fly over is very loud and shakes the house, people who aren't use to it would cover their ears.
I could hear no sound coming from the object. There were several balls of light in the V formation, my approximate would be 7. All of a sudden one of the balls of light came out of it's position in the top of the formation and quickly flew down towards a ball that was in the lowest section, it started to zig zag around it, almost as if it was playing with it.
The ball of light in the lower section came out of it's place and they both zipped around, left, right, up and down. The balls of light then went back into their exact position, then at an amazing speed they zipped to the left out of sight. This was the first and the only sighting I have ever had.
I am 100 % sure that it was not a plane, but I have no idea what it was. My best guess is that it was truly from a world other then my own, or something government or military related that the public is unaware of. I feel privileged to have had this experience and am intrigued at the possibilities that our own people or something out there has such technology.
It was absolutely amazing. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD)).
