This past Friday me and my roommate here a rumble outside. I thought because of how loud it was, it might be a stealth bomber because the are air bases close by it's not all that uncommon. I went out side on the front porch to see if I could see anything and I looked up to the northeast and saw a massive string of lights.
The lights had to be one a singles craft. What ever this was it was to slow to be a plane. ,I live next to an airport.
I know what that looks like. You could not see the craft just the outline because of the lights. It was so loud, others have had to have seen this.
If anyone else knows anything, please share. This was the size of a city in the sky. As far as I know, we don't have anything this large that can fly.

Alien like figures seen near and on buildings of our town square along with many yellow lights overhead. We have been taking walks around our square for the last week, keeping the camera with us, and had an ongoing report, by ongoing i mean there were a number of facet,s to it. we saw along a rooftop a bulge that was reflecting light oddly, and since we were in the alley at the time i got closer to the steps there.
And went to take a picture but in the viewfinder i saw these round yellow eyes, and took a few more pictures thinking since it was motionless it was just a reflection. Well we went around the block came down the sidewalk and by the time we got to the corner there was something moving in the sky over the south side of the town square. I took a few pictures thinking i got nothing but found when i got home and enlarged them that either three objects that were yellow lights or one object with 3 lights was moving eastward along the rooftops of the south end of the square.
There was also on our way home a transformer blown up i guess, its sides were ripped open, this up on the power and light pole. Id never seen one so damaged and took 2 pictures getting a fairly clear one the second shot. Again at the time we saw nothing clearly we c! ould identify due to the glare of another light.
on a pole close by,, but it seemed like something was hanginging out the side of one of them. I figured since it all seemed roughly the same color it was just a shattered section of the transformer sticking out oddly. but again after looking over our pictures in enlargement we found in this image a very clear head like shape, that had large black eyes , and a tiny nose and mouth, its skin seemed very close to that of the transformer, maybe more tan, also the head seemed very wide at the top and the chin was tiny.
anyone seeing it would think it was looking down at us. during that evening and two others of the same week we got photographs of objects at different positions over our town square, one very close to and in the same image with our courthouse tower. It had a coppery color and looked like a curved shape with a red light mounted on it in the corner of the photo.
It reminded me of a fin. Also there certain lights! that went out as came down the sidewalk, there order was inco! nsistant , and one was the doorway light to a shop i at one time rented. 3 lights in all went out.

brass colored sphere moving around power pole and transformer, next to Convenience Store at corner of our block I was up restless and wandered through the house in the dark, and looked out the north side window of our living room. It looked normal except it looked like a bat or bird was moving around the the power and light pole at the corner of our street half a block away. But as I thought about it I realized it couldn't be a bird it was too large only a hummingbird could hover this way and this looked volleyball sized or possibly basketball sized.
I went and got my camera and pulled the curtains up over the rod so they would be out of the way. and made sure the light in the kitchen was off, so there was complete darkness in our house, I put a piece of tape over the colored light on the front of the camera and looked closely at the window condition, it was still clean from a recent cleaning inside and out. And that really didn't matter because if what i was seeing was a water drop it wouldn't have been floating around between the Casey,s Convenience store,! and the transformer pole and light pole next to it.
I even got my tripod and set it up to eliminate as much movement as i could. In the view finder i could see a brass looking ball the size mentioned, it reflected light like something metal,, and had a faint circle on its side that had a dot on it,, or at least it appeared that way. I watched it taking pictures without the flash, and got maybe 5 descent shots of it, finally up close to the pole not touching it, or being supported by it, and it looked like a faint line had come out of it and was touching some part of the transformer equipment, I don't know its workings so that is as detailed as I can get it was touching the bottom back side of one of the canister shapes mounted there.
It stayed in this position the rest of the hour to hour and twenty minutes I watched. A day later that transformer or the light pole failed and our block was in darkness for 4 days. since power was returned I've not seen anything odd when I got up during the night to check on it.
But there has been other activity around that spot I'll put in a separate report.

I was heading driving to the store when I seen a red and yellow lighted craft in the air flying 1000 ft or less strobing. It seemed as if it was going at a pretty fast speed and then all of a sudden looked as if it slowed and turned sideways. I could not hear any noise from the object.
But may have seen another red flashing light, which was smaller real close to it as it had slowed or was turning. Almost as if it came from the object or was a part of the object. It was flying pretty low so I did get a pretty good look at it.
When it appeared to slow down/turn I could tell it was kind of chevron shaped,like a boomerang looking object. It was moderate in size, probably a couple car lengths. I stopped to try to see more, but by this point it was gone.

sightind and abduction on country road. We were going out to photograph, at night, blindly shooting down into gulleys and streams, hollows and deep inside walled areas of trees. Our hope was too catch animals off guard and maybe get interesting pictures.
I was using a flash, on each and shot over a hundred pictures that night. We left at 8,30 Throughout the entire evening, we felt only that a calming ride in the country had occurred with possibly some good pictures . Pictures we'd view in the morning on the computer.
The next morning when I looked through them enlarging them on photo gallery, I saw the two pictures and a few others. I'm sending. 4 that night that I had no memory,, of taking.
We had no memory at all of anything seen in the images, the craft, or the thing in front of the car. No memory of being stopped. We returned on the next night thinking something cool had happened seeing a UFO and thought since we were unharmed it would be safe to return.
The next night we went we had similar results, a few more pictures that were strange even more frightening because of the activity in front of our car that could not be made out clearly. We were slightly worried but more curious about the ship we had seen twice in the pictures. and after a few more days thought again it might be safe, so we returned with tape recorders in the car.
And the things on the tapes were muffled but a few areas crystal clear, one of these was our talking on the tape, and then the car stopping suddenly, the doors came open and my wife was drug out with a whimper, and the sound of me struggling in my seat unable to speak went on for some time, possibly 10 seconds, there was a humming sound in two short bursts, and I was heard struggling no longer, in fact neither of us were heard. There is a point where a voice makes a sexual reference, one sentence,, and then that yea their dumb. Afterward, some time later( yea there almost ready.
) the sounds of arranging equipment? Like picking up stuff , closing a container, etc. Within the next minute we start the car, pull away driving again, and resume the conversation we had been having before the incident. We returned home, ready for sleep, having no idea anything had occurred.
We had by mid-night the beginning of severe abdominal pain and rectal pain as well, identical. These conditions lasted for the better part of three days. This and the things found on the tape made it clear what had possibly taken place .
Again photos were in the large set ,of only a odd shaped vehicle outside the car stirring up dust. Its strange sound on the tape. There were other things said so disturbing to us, I destroyed the tapes.
The photos I'm sending are the clearest free of dust flakes that made the others unidentifiable. We experienced a time loss of roughly an hour two times at least. During a recent hospital trip a small round polished bead the size of a BB, the airgun ammo, was seen in my sinus cavity in a x-ray.
Also, I have a hole on the back of my neck, near my hairline, that a sewing needle could be inserted almost its whole length, eye first with no pain. No blood or discharge of any kind. It can still be seen.

Was it an Alien? We were taking night shots in the country, trying to catch some wildlife out hunting, when we came home, the 45 minute trip had taken over 2 hours, we found photos on the camera of a what looks like a creature in front of the car, huge head with leathery, wrinkled skin and large eyes. We did not see this thing, we have no memory of it, our stomachs hurt real bad the next morning. We went back out, this time taking a tape recorder with us, lost the time again, again had strange pictures, and this time on the tape player were two other male voices saying "recon" " their ready now" and a few other choice things.
A few minutes later we start the car and pick up our conversation where it ended. We went down some other country roads, and Lori has the memory of seeing a robot behind a fence. There was a rod that came down to the car with a blue light on the end.
We have lost time, have felt ill and have no memory of seeing the images on these pictures. We found sev! eral other pictures on another highway that could indicate some kind of craft down the road moving toward us.

I witnessed 1 object just after dark in the western sky. It seemed to hover upward slowly. It had 1 yellow light on it.
I watched it for several minutes. I then watched as it came closer and lowered altitude at the same speed. Looking as if it was hovering downward now.
This object was several thousand feet up, but very visable. There were other objects in the sky at that time. But only 1 was strobing blue and white lights very fast.
Back and forth, back and forth. And then they left after about 10 minutes or so. I had 1 more person witness exactly what I saw, and two others that saw the yellow light in the sky.
Just a day before I witnessed a blinking red object that stopped on a dime and did a 180 turn. It was reported. ((NUFORC Note: One of many reports from same source of alleged sightings of UFO's.

Full Report Text:
Red blinking ufo, stopped on a dime, did 180, traveling 20-25 mph about 1/2 mile-1 mile away at around 100ft or so. I was outside in my yard gazing the sky and stars. Was out there for about 30 minutes I'd say.
Then saw a red light in the distance. Northeast of where I was standing. It was very low and relatively close to where I was.
At it's closest I'd say it was probably about 1/2 mile to a mile away and maybe just 100 feet off the ground. It was blinking red. And they were kind of mediocre timed intervals, almost kind of reminded me of a persons breaklight if they were to delay each compression for a couple seconds.
It kind of went up and down a bit within very short distances which was different for my eyes to see. I watched it not gain very high altitude at all. It stayed really low to the ground around the area.
I got my mom to show her. And she watched it with me, and I couldt tell she knew that it was different. It finally came to a holt for just a second or so.
I watched it as it had vertually sit still in the air. This is when the object blinked 1 blue light w! ithin it's red light. And then it turned around, 180 degrees on that dime.
Which was pretty amazing really. Uh, I was very excited to see this variance in whatever this thing was. I could not hear any sound, if it was a nearby local cessna I could of heard it's engine from it being so close.
I am correct with my time, so the airports the only one that could deny my sighting. This was a really awesome sighting. I haven't seen anything in the sky this intersting over the last 4-5 months that I would waste my time talking about.
As I am a consistent star/sky gazer. Really different type of lights on this thing. The way it moved was pretty different.
I don't think this could be related to any type of other flying aircraft. Here's another big thing as well. For the distance it traveled and as close as it was, I'd have to say this thing was moving at no more then 20-25 miles per hour.

3-4 shiny objects in sky, no jet streams, no noise.appeared to have popped up in the sky from nowhere. Hi, I and another witnessed sever shiny objects in the sky yesterday.
None had a jet stream behind them. The first object was moving west at a very high altitude. We watched it till it dissapeared farther into the west, then another object that looked like the same one reappeared quite aways behind and to the side of where that had dissapeared.
Almost like it had jumped a far distance behind where we saw the first object dissapear at. That one soon was out of sight. It was probably 10-15 minutes after seeing that, and 2 objects appeared almost side by side, no jetstream, both were shiny, had seemed to appear out of nowhere and began moving further away from each other.
One headed south and the other moved westward. There was no sound, no jetstream,they seemed to just pop up in sight out of nowhere and I couldn't tell you the exact speed, but they were moving pretty fast. I thought I noticed one speeding up at a good rate and another that just was kind of floating forward for a few seconds or so.
I really wanted to try and notice altitude and speed change variation but it was really hard to tell. Both objects were extremely shiny bright. Metallic I would say.
And, I don't see it everyday but every so often I'll notice something like this in the skies in my area. Interesting skies down here. Thank You.

2 objects seen fairly shortly after one another,starlike looking objects. Me and my brother seen 1 object, a white light fly through the sky at a pretty mild and steady pace. This object was very high up and was seen moving from south to north.
Within 20 minutes I'd say we witnessed another object of the same color come out of the east and then begin to cross to the north. It's direction was a straight line I might add. It didn't seem too make any sudden movements or anything to that extent.
However, we know that it did not make any sound whatsoever. Also, there were sever other aircraft seen coming from the east going west at the time. So who knows but we were able to catch it and I'd figure i'd post it.
I seriously doubt that these were satelites given what time of day we were witnessing these objects. ((NUFORC Note: One of many reports from same source of alleged sightings of UFO's. Telephone number provided by source of report is bogus.

1 very large object passed lowly with lights, about 1 hour after a triangular object which. I seen a very large craft, maybe rectangular i'm just not 100% for sure. This has my mind boggled.

Just about 1 hour before I got to see a trianular shaped object which passed overhead then a mile or so away turned around and put yellow lights on. This object to was very low. I have never seen anything like what i saw tonight.

Me and another person seen a white shaped ball of light traveling through the sky. I was outside on my front porch smoking a ciggeratte with my father in law, when we seen a ball shaped light suddenly come out of the Northwestern sky. It really kind of just popped up as the sky had been clear only a moment before.
We sit and watched it as it was slowly moving to the north east going maybe 40 mph if that. I ran inside and grabbed my binocoluars to get a better look at what it was but could still only identify it as a white ball of light. It quickly sped up and vanished out of view as we last seen it heading to the northeast.

Me and others witnessed an extrodinary bright light, ball looking in the sky moving somewhat slowly. I was at my eldest brothers house just chatting with him, when I noticed a bright light in the sky. It was different, much shinier then the stars were.
It was like yellow. I yelled across the street to my other brother who happened to be out in his yard that there was something up in the sky. I continued to watch it as it had appeared to lift straight up and then continue towards the east before dissapearing out of view.

WHILE I WAS AT MY FARM PASTURE I SAW A STRANGE OBJECT IT WAS VERY STRANGE. I was out on my farm pasture on February 9, 2006 on a Thursday evening about at 7:40 P.M.
in Butler, Missouri. I was out by my barn and I looked up and saw a strange light in the sky up above me. Then I saw a strange object above me and it was round and wide on the top and it got narrower as you go to the bottom of the object it was orange lighted with red vertical lines around the sides of it and it had a blue light on the middle of the top and a blue light on the middle of the bottom.
I saw it over the nearby lake also. But as I was standing by the barn it hovered over the barn and went down by the nearby lake and it hovered over the lake. So I walked down by the lake and I still saw the strange object.
I was puzzled and I didn't understand where this object came from. It wasn't a plane or a weather balloon and it wasn't a star that I was seeing. The object had no sound to it.
I watched it and it disappeard going towards the west I looked up and it was no where in sight and I didn't see it no more. Then I got in my car and left my farm pasture and I didn't see it no more it was a strange object I saw at my farm pasture. It was party cloudy when I saw this object at my farm.
