bright orange object moving mid speed in sky then faded away Look i kno wat a plane looks like at night n sounds like.this was no plane n had no sound.Bright orange sorta like a fireball moving mid speed west bound.

funny thing is whrre i stay the planes pass over bout 10 mins b4 they land so yes theres always planes in the sky n there were 2 planes in the sky in route when i spotted this object so i kno the pilots had 2 see this.

I saw a pencil eraser sized light crossing the sky light heading due northwest bright yellowish white light with no blinking lights at 10:16 pm it was circular looking like a small moon about the size of a eraser on a pencil. I saw this while watching a Rich Dad seminar online sitting on my porch. It was almost dead ahead of my vision slightly off to the left of my sight.

It flew across the sky and I had to wait for a few seconds to clear away from the trees to see it again to only see it disappear behind some more trees. This is no joke. It's what I saw though I have found that the meteor society would tell me that my sightings were mere planes or satellites.

never knew that you could see an actual satellite in space with your naked eye. That part goes with my past report of the small barely visible lights in the sky. This however was just as bright as the moon only smaller.

My house faces east and I wartched it cross the sky heading north west ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

I saw a bright blinking white light cross the sky low enough for me to see that it was diamond shaped I was thinking about the report that I just made, and waiting on my plate of barbecue to warm in the microwave, while I stood on the porch I saw a blinking light. It was unusual since it blinked in an abnormal pattern. It was brightly blinking.

A it traveled across the sky I stepped off of my porch tp watch this object cross the sky in a due north western direction. As it got closer to me I noticed that it didn't look nothing like an airplane. It was diamond shape.

Airplanes usually have those red and blue lights flashing on them. This was a continuous white flashing light crossing the sky. I watched it for as long as I could and even walked over towards my neighbors house to keep it in sight.

It was moving fast unlike the two objects I saw earlier. For as low as it was there was a slight sound to it that should've been louder like the airplane flying over me now. at 23:34 heading into the eastern direction.

I can hear that plane loud and clear. But the objec! t in question I could barely even hear and it was lower than the one heading east. They didn't even blink the same.

The object in question was very bright. It blinked rapidly with only white lights. I don;t know what it was, but it wasn't a normal airlines plane.

And it wasn't no meteorite either. And if you say it was a weather balloon then I'm a monkey's uncle. That's how serious I am.

I saw a very faint light traveling northward and it disappeared and then another appeared traveling southwards in opposite direction To tell the truth there were two of them. One was heading due north. I noticed it out of the side of my eye even though it was a extremely faint light.

There were no blinkking lights on it. Neither one of them. ASn airplane flew just in front of the first one and lept goin heading east.

The plane flew higher than most planes but it was still closer than this object. Both objects to be exact. I watched this object for about 40 seconds and then lost track of it.

I scanned the sky and found another extremely faint light traveling due south off to the righ of where the original spotted light was. I don't wear glasses and I could still see this light even though it was very faint. That's why I knew that these two objects weren't traveling in our atmosphere.

It was way fainter than the International Space Station would appear in the sky. Besides I don't think the ISS would travel in two opposite directions. The time was 10:35 p.

m. Venus is much brighter than what ! they were. But these were white lights with no sound at all.

Ufo's over Detroit, Dearborn western area. On 5/23/2012 wed at 9:30pm the wife and i sat outside on the front porch facing west we saw for a second time a craft hovering in the tree line the same as sunday evening. A half hour later two more appeared one south of the first and one north of the first.

We are located in Detroit's Warrendale area. The forth was east over pass our house. They are round looking flashing white,green,red lights.

The white stayed on longer. I called my freind in Romulus he said he saw them also looking North of Van Born rd. Our daughter came and watch then we saw a big one flying south it had white lights all around flashing around the whole craft going South West towards metro airport over Dearborn.

This was not a jet liner or any man made craft. Please note each time during the sighting dogs were braking in the area. And the crafts make no noise at all.

I have stayed near metro airport since 1969 I know jets and helicopters during the day and at night. The other 3 stayed stationary as if they are surveying or surveillance almost in a triangle in the night sky. The first one in the trees it like had a bounce up and down movement and went North towards Farmington or Southfield area and fade away.

We went in at 12:00 midnight.

Response to SHGbo+14a. Logansport, IN This is a copied article, posted as requested. These articles cover rare information on SETI signal SHGb02+14a [Article 1] Mysterious signals from light years away 19:00 01 September 2004 by Eugenie Samuel Reich In February 2003, astronomers involved in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) pointed the massive radio telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, at around 200 sections of the sky.

The same telescope had previously detected unexplained radio signals at least twice from each of these regions, and the astronomers were trying to reconfirm the findings. The team has now finished analysing the data, and all the signals seem to have disappeared. Except one, which has got stronger.

This radio signal, now seen on three separate occasions, is an enigma. It could be generated by a previously unknown astronomical phenomenon. Or it could be something much more mundane, maybe an artefact of the telescope itself.

But it also happens to be the best candidate yet for a contact by intelligent aliens in the nearly six-year history of the SETI@home project, which uses programs running as screensavers on millions of personal computers worldwide to sift through signals picked up by the Arecibo telescope. Absorb and emit "It's the most interesting signal from SETI@home," says Dan Werthimer, a radio astronomer at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) and the chief scientist for SETI@home. "We're not jumping up and down, but we are continuing to observe it.

" Named SHGb02+14a, the signal has a frequency of about 1420 megahertz. This happens to be one of the main frequencies at which hydrogen, the most common element in the universe, readily absorbs and emits energy. Some astronomers have argued that extraterrestrials trying to advertise their presence would be likely to transmit at this frequency, and SETI researchers conventionally scan this part of the radio spectrum.

SHGb02+14a seems to be coming from a point between the constellations Pisces and Aries, where there is no obvious star or planetary system within 1000 light years. And the transmission is very weak. "We are looking for something that screams out ‘artificial'," says UCB researcher Eric Korpela, who completed the analysis of the signal in April.

"This just doesn't do that, but it could be because it is distant." Unknown signature The telescope has only observed the signal for about a minute in total, which is not long enough for astronomers to analyse it thoroughly. But, Korpela thinks it unlikely SHGb02+14a is the result of any obvious radio interference or noise, and it does not bear the signature of any known astronomical object.

That does not mean that only aliens could have produced it. "It may be a natural phenomenon of a previously undreamed-of kind like I stumbled over," says Jocelyn Bell Burnell of the University of Bath, UK. It was Bell Burnell who in 1967 noticed a pulsed radio signal which the research team at the time thought was from extraterrestrials but which turned out to be the first ever sighting of a pulsar.

There are other oddities. For instance, the signal's frequency is drifting by between eight to 37 hertz per second. "The signal is moving rapidly in frequency and you would expect that to happen if you are looking at a transmitter on a planet that's rotating very rapidly and where the civilisation is not correcting the transmission for the motion of the planet," Korpela says.

This does not, however, convince Paul Horowitz, a Harvard University astronomer who looks for alien signals using optical telescopes. He points out that the SETI@home software corrects for any drift in frequency. Fishy and puzzling The fact that the signal continues to drift after this correction is "fishy", he says.

"If [the aliens] are so smart, they'll adjust their signal for their planet's motion." The relatively rapid drift of the signal is also puzzling for other reasons. A planet would have to be rotating nearly 40 times faster than Earth to have produced the observed drift; a transmitter on Earth would produce a signal with a drift of about 1.

5 hertz per second. What is more, if telescopes are observing a signal that is drifting in frequency, then each time they look for it they should most likely encounter it at a slightly different frequency. But in the case of SHGb02+14a, every observation has first been made at 1420 megahertz, before it starts drifting.

"It just boggles my mind," Korpela says. The signal could be an artefact that, for some reason, always appears to be coming from the same point in the sky. The Arecibo telescope has a fixed dish reflector and scans the skies by changing the position of its receiver relative to the dish.

When the receiver reaches a certain position, it might just be able to reflect waves from the ground onto the dish and then back to itself, making it seem as if the signal was coming from space. "Perhaps there is an object on the ground near the telescope emitting at about this frequency," Korpela says. This could be confirmed by using a different telescope to listen for SHGb02+14a.

Possible fraud There is also the possibility of fraud by someone hacking the SETI@home software to make it return evidence for an extraterrestrial transmission. However, SHGb02+14a was seen on two different occasions by different SETI@home users, and those calculations were confirmed by others. Then the signal was seen a third time by the SETI@home researchers.

The unusual characteristics of the signal also make it unlikely that someone is playing a prank, Korpela says. "As I can't think of any way to make a signal like this, I can't think of any way to fake it." David Anderson, director of SETI@home, remains sceptical but curious about the signal.

"It's unlikely to be real but we will definitely be re-observing it." Bell Burnell agrees that it is worth persisting with. "If they can see it four, five or six times it really begins to get exciting," she says.

It is already exciting for IT engineers Oliver Voelker of Logpoint in Nuremberg, Germany and Nate Collins of Farin and Associates in Madison, Wisconsin, who found the signal. Collins wonders how his bosses will react to company computers finding aliens. "I might have to explain a little further about just how much I was using [the computers]," he says.

html?full=true [Article 2] Radio source SHGb02+14a Radio source SHGb02+14a is a source and a candidate in the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI), discovered on March 2003 by SETI@home and announced in New Scientist on September 1, 2004.[1] The source was observed three times at a frequency of about 1420 MHz,[2] which is expected to be a frequency used by extraterrestrials due to its proximity to one of the main frequencies at which hydrogen absorbs and radiates photons. There are a number of puzzling features of this candidate, which have led to a large amount of skepticism.

The source is located between the constellations Pisces and Aries, a direction in which no stars are observed within 1000 light years. It is also a very weak signal. The frequency of the signal has a rapid drift, which would correspond to it being emitted from a planet orbiting nearly 40 times faster than the Earth around the sun.

However, each time the signal was detected, it was again at about 1420 MHz, the original frequency before any drift. There are also a number of potential explanations for this signal. SETI@home has denied media reports of likely extraterrestrial signal.

[3][4] It could be an artifact of random chance, cosmic noise or possibly just a glitch in the technology. Ref: http://www.multilingualarchive.

I saw a hollow, cylinder shapped object the color of a bubble, or rainbow, hovering and spinning above a bush. Between noon and 2:00 p.m.

on March 17, 2012, I went outside to get something from my son's car and noticed smoke that seemed to be streaming from a bush in the front yard on the East Side of the house that is directly across the street from my house. There are two bushes in the front yard of the house. One on the East side.

One on the West Side. The entire yard is surrounded by a fence. The smoke traveled four to five feet from the bush to the rear of an SUV which is about eight feet from the fence that surrounds the house and the bush.

First I thought the bush was on fire but I didn't smell smoke, so I just felt some mischevous guys were hiding behind the bush smoking, or trying to break in the house. I walked across the street to the bush but no one was there, just smoke, with no smell, which was strange. The bush was opened and the stems seemed old.

Because I had never seen them open like that in the fourteen years I lived here, which was also strange, I hurredly walked back to my house and stood on the steps and remained there because I was a little puzzled by all this. The smoke disappeared. Suddenly a lot of little flies or knats like the ones that gather in the middle of air appeared over the bush that the smoke seemed to be coming out the bottom.

Then a cylinder looking thing, not of this world appeared from no where on top of the bush and started spinning at a high rate of speed. It was the color of a rainbow, translucent, with no top, or bottom (hollow inside). It was the size of the middle of a wooden wine barrell.

After the translucent, bubble like, bubble colored, rainbow colored cylinder hovered and spun over the bush about a minute or two, smoke started coming out of the center of the cylinder, seemingly from the middle of the bush. Strangely, the birds and pheasants eating grass seeds in the lot adjacent to the house appeared unscathed and did not fly away. The bush did not burn, the smoke did not smell like smoke, or fire.

Next, several of the little flies appeared on top of the bush on the West side of the house. The cylinder started to sail to the bush on the West. The knats were still flying over the bush on the East where the cylinder was at first, but half of them seemed to be gone.

When the cylinder reached the bush on the West side of the house it hovered on top, still spinning at an out of this world speed. Smoke came out of the middle of that bush which was not smoking at first, and did not burn. It hovered there a couple minutes (the cylinder like thing).

Next the cylinder floated up, spinning all the time, to about the height of the light post in front of the house. Smoke then flowed from the bush on the West, through the center of the cylinder. In an instant, the bubble thing disappeared.

Next the smoke dissipated. My girlfriend called about this time. I told her what I saw.

She asked if it was on my property. I said no. She asked if I looked down in the bushes.

I said no, and told her she should come over to look down in the bushes. I told her that I noticed several (about ten) thin, translucent lines, like spider webs, the same rainbow color of the bubble like cyliner, in front of my house. The web like strings were in mid air and extended straight, from the West to the East in about 20 feet from the no parking sign by my house to nowhere.

They were affected a little by the wind, but strangely, just floated straight across in a parallel line without falling. The spider web things did not appear to be attached to the cylinder- bubble, but also, were not of anything I've ever seen on Earth, or could imagine. They were the identical color.

I probably walked through them when I went across the street but the did not break, or fall. My girlfriend said run in the house, slam the door, and pull down the shades. For some reason I was not scared but I did go in the house, close the door, and close the blinds.

I peeked outside and saw the smoke again on the ground by the bushes but I had seen enough and do not know if anything else happened because about this time I began to feel a little leary and would not go, or look outside. Another strange thing happened. The next day when my girlfriend came over to see.

She asked if I ever looked in the bushes. I told her the bushes did not go anywhere for her to go look. Even though she wasn't going to look inside the bushes, the strangest thing happened.

When we looked across the street at the bushes, the bushes had closed all the way up, and were full, like they normally are. The way they were opened when the cylinder appeared, it would be impossible for the bushes to close back to normal in one day, or a year. I told a couple other people and asked a couple farmers if fruit flies made these type of cylinders.

Then, I stopped becausethe people I told, and the farmers did not seem to believe I had seen something like that. However,I turned on the radio late one night. Coast to Coast was on.

The UFO man was a guest and left his number. I called him and he said he didn't want to hear my story, I had to write it down. I didn't write it down because what I saw did not appear to be a UFO.

Today I googled UFO and read some of the sightings. One of them was identical to what I saw. For this reason I have written this story.

Perhaps it can help others.
