Large fireball with long bright tail streaking across southern sky I spotted a large orange/yellow fireball streaking across the southern sky at approximately 6:35pm(EST). It was very bright with a long tail, traveling downward at a slight 10-15 degree angle for 4-5 seconds before breaking/fizzing out. At first glance I thought it was an airplane, but as the tail grew longer and brighter I realized that was not the case.

A large triangular shaped object that made a very loud noise We were on our way home from the movies when all of a sudden we heard a loud noise coming from the air. When we loked up we saw a trinagular shape with white and red lights. When it came down a little we saw the details of on the craft.

It had red and blue stripes along it and a odd shapped symbol at the end. The event took about 5 minutes then it flew away.

bright triangular object flying slowly across low evening sky it was about 7:40pm, my girlfriend and i were walking my dog around my block. when we first left my house i noticed a very bright light low in the evening sky, which turned out to be 3 bright lights forming a triangular pattern. i was stunned by how bright the lights were reflecting, and how slowly the object moved.

after we got halfway around the block i looked back to notice it moving across the sky, very slowly. i live near an airport, and the lights and slow movement the object made was nothing i've ever seen before.

Lights were not stars The night sky was clear. I noticed out of eastern window of my apartment that there were two lights in the sky at about 45 degrees that were blinking which resembled stars-yet they were moving ever so slightly. They were rather high in the sky, so I chalked them up to being stars (the twinkling thus being caused by atmospheric disturbances), and went about my business.

20 minutes later, I returned to the window and they were no longer there.

Tonight I saw a Triangle shaped craft do a complete v-turn over downtown, and speed up in the opposite dirrection. Well, ok. I was at my high school working on our drama clubs latest production.

I was getting a ride home from one of my upper classmen friends in his mini-van just talking and stuff. I looked behind me out the back window, and there was a big triangle shaped craft over downtown. It was really low, because the clouds are extremely low tonight, and it was flying well below them.

It was triangle shaped, with alternating red, blue, and pulsing white lights on each angle. At first it looked like just a plane. Like a cessna or something.

But all of a sudden it did this weird dead stop, and just did a complete v turn in the opposite direction. It sped off really fast but turned around again, like it was circling something. My friends didn't believe me and didn't look, but I know what I saw.

My house isnt far from the sighting, and I sat in my driveway watching for a while. I've seen things like this before, one time an object almost exactly the same passed over my house, just above my tree, then 3 others followed it, but ive never seen one do a turn like that and then speed up. Anyway, I soon went in, but as far as I know, its still cirling down town.

It may be coincidence, but last night there was a fire at a house near mine close too downtown, 3 brothers were killed in the fire, but they have no idea how it started, its absolutely puzzled them as too the cause. Probaly a coincidence, but Im so shooken up, my mind is racing faster than my hands. Never the less, i'm going too go out and look again.

My curiosity is getting the better of me. Nothing, nothing at all. It's now about 10:30, and as far as i can tell, there is no siqn of the craft, an interesting note though, I thought i heard the roar of scrambling F-16's, I've been down too wright-patterson, i know what they sound like, and it damn well sounds like them out there.

Anyway, this is all i can say for now, but ill keep watching over the night. Please believe me, i am not making any of this up, i only hope someone else saw the ! same thi ng.

saucer witnessed in flint mi. with red and white lights. My wife and Daughter witnessed a saucer type craft hovering above our home and neigborhood last night.

They were on the way home from picking up fast food .They stated they saw a structured saucer type craft approximately 50 ft.in diameter with many white and red lights on it .

The craft was travling slowly on a westward pattern as they pulled onto our driveway .They observed the craft for approximatly two minutes.They both couldn't believe what they were witnessing ,and than they rushed inside our home to get me.

At first, I thought they were joking . But when I saw the seriousness in their faces ,I quickly ran outside to see it . But I was too late!They also stated that the craft was just above the tree lines, making a weird humming noise.

And that the craft was not a airplane or something manmade. We live near a airport and we see alot planes flying our skies daily. They're sure of what they witnessed!If anybody in the flint area ,saw or witnessed this craft please report it serious in flint.

I HAVE NEVER HEARD A SOUND LIKE THIS COMING FROM THE SKY I was awaken by my daughter. Once I went to her and then returned to my room I heard a loud, wierd, noise over head ( above the roof of my house) that I have NEVER HEARD BEFORE IN MY LIFE IN THE SKY. The sound had two sounds with it at the same time, neither of which sounded like airplanes flying over head.

When I looked out my windows to see anything, I saw nothing. Please explain to me what this could have been. Thank you, ((name deleted)) ((NUFORC Note: We do not know what they heard.

PD)).

My mom and I were driving to Subway for dinner. I looked out my window towards the Detroit River in the east. There were 3 different dots that formed a triangle.

The one at the point was the brightest, the other 2 behind it were fairly dim. While the brightest one at the tip stayed at the same position, the 2 behind it began moving slowly towards each other and back again. After we came out with our food, they were gone.

((NUFORC Note: There are many potential explanations for the event, we feel. The first possibility we would like to rule out would be landing lights on distant aircraft. Just a guess.

PD)).

Very large, dark object flying very low over water, moving too smoothly and silently for airplane of any kind At 07:20 Fri. 11/2, sitting in my car in a local parking lot, watching the snow clouds move from North to South; saw what I thought was another, darker cloud moving, but realized it had a shape, sort of like a wingless C-47 cargo plane but no sound whatsoever, and it was moving AGAINST the southbound clouds. It moved first to the north, then very smoothly--no jerkiness at all--it started toward where I was sitting (I was west of it), then again moved in another direction, heading south, and one more time to the north, then it vanished without a sound.

I've lived next door to our local airport for 49 years, so I know it wasn't a plane--they're never soundless, nor do they move so smoothly, and obviously cannot change direction so quickly. I don't know if anyone saw this; there was a lot of traffic, but all work-bound toward downtown Traverse City. This object was no more than 500 yards away from me, and very low in the sky.

Traverse City is sited on Grand Traverse Bay, and it was the bay that I was facing. I got out of my car as soon as I realized this was something unusual so that I could determine whether there was any resemblance to plane engine noise; nothing but car and truck sounds, however. Size of object would have been about the size of a 777 plane, but nothing larger than a DC-10 or a very small jet can land/take off from our small airport, nor does anything fly that low over the bay (my guess would be approximately 500 hundred feet above the surface of the water, no joke)except the U.

S. Navy Blue Angels, who are here each summer for a couple of days. Again, there was absolutely NO SOUND AT ALL, NONE WHATSOEVER, TOTAL QUIET as far as any plane engine, and much too smooth of moves and direction changes to have been a plane.

It was a lighted flying object that flew at a high rate of speed and was able to manuever unlike anything I have ever seen! It was a ball of white lights moving in a straight line and stopped as to hover over. The object stayed in one spot for a couple minutes then it traveled back on the same path in which it just traveled. It happened with in just a few minutes, I have never seen a plane or helicopter fly in that type of pattern or speed.

There was no sound it was completely silent, for a moment I could not believe what I just saw. ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. PD)).

Yellow /orange fireball with a yellow to white tail about 3 second duration whitnessed by two, high in the north sky 4 family members and myself were all standing around admiring the clear night sky and this bright blue prototype convertable Mustang that my Nephew had a hand in engeenering ( it was his weekend to take it home from Visteon), when I and my daughter's boyfriend(the only two faceing north) saw what looked to me to be a large (the proverberal size of a dime held at an arms length) orange/yellow Fireball with a yellow to white tail.It travled over head in a north to westerly direction and was at about 78 to 83 degreeze off of the horizen north .It just appeared out of the darkness of space.

I had to post this because i heard that there have been a lot of sightings of large fireballs over parts of California the past few days and it was said that it is unusual to have two in a row, and i find this puzzling because what we saw was clearly at least two days prior to the California sightings.

Full Report Text:

Large white object observed. i noticed the object first when i was traveling in my friends car, i noticed it in the sky somewhat above the tree line where i usually see planes before their ascent. (My home is located near a small airport, berz-macomb.

) When i first saw the object i realized that it could not be a plane or a helicopter, due to the size of the light. From my view the light was as big as if i was extending my arm and looking at the tip of my pinky finger. It was a constant bright white light, with no other lights around it.

After watching it proceed from left to right on my view of the sky, it suddenly changed course and dissapeared rather quickly into the horizon.
