Full Report Text:
An in trouble triangle UFO seen hovering above tree top level in a residential neighborhood. I just finished watching Saturday Night Live. I went outside to smoke a cigarette on my front porch.
I was sitting sideways to the road, the smoke from my cigarette seemed to be hovering in the air, I was in my own world and didnt notice for a couple of minutes. When I turned to look up, it was not the smoke from my cigarette. Right above tree top level, hovering directly across the street was a triangle shaped UFO .
I live in front of a subdivision and the triangle was at the entrance to the subdivision. It did have smoke around it some and it started make a very loud noise like it was in trouble. It hovered there quite some time.
I walked out into the yard and stood by my fence. I could see directly underneath it then. It had 4 lights that seemed to be in each corner of the triangle.
I know that sounds strange but standing underneath it, the triangle seemed to have four corners. Like it was triangular on top and square underneath. I know it doesnt seem to make sense but that is what I saw and Im not lying about it.
It just hovered even after I stood staring at it for what seemed a long time. It was still making an awful racket. I finally came to my senses and went and got my sister from in the house.
She came out and we both went and stood by the fence, the craft then oh so slowly began moving up the street, towards Old Stage Rd, going up the hill. My sister and I walked with it down the side of our fenced yard. It was still making a loud noise.
Later at a x-mas family get together, my aunt who lives down Old Stage Rd was talking about how a loud noise had woken her up at night a few days ago, she said it was making a terrible noise and she said it was around 1:30am. So it must have kept traveling down that road. Also my neighbor across the street came outside, stood underneath it looking up at it.
When the UFO started to move, he jumped in his car and followed it up the road. My sister nor I ever spoke to him about this since we werent on speaking terms with him. I always wi! shed I c ould have though.
I have tried to write this in the best way that I know how, I will never forget it!! ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate, but a Saturday occurred on December 17 in 1983, we believe. We will try to check this. PD.

Light observed in night sky followed by what appeared as military aircraft. It’s been some time since this occurred, so I am guessing as to the exact date. However, I remember the event quite clearly.
I was in high school and attending a band practice. It was a very clear night, and quite dark. We were outside practicing our marching under the parking lot lights.
--- For what ever reason, a few friends and I noticed a small light in the sky. The light was silent and did not blink or flash. At first, the light seemed to be a slow moving, high altitude plane, flying in an easterly(?) direction, and quite unremarkable.
However, after approximately 30 seconds of observing the light, it appeared to change direction and start flying strait up. This upward direction was not apparent at first, however as we watched this object, it appeared to become smaller and the light dimmer. Finally after about 1 to 2 minutes we could no longer view the object.
This seemed quite odd, and many of us were speculating what we had just seen. What happened next made it even more interesting. A short time later, after the light disappeared, 5 planes flying in formation, appeared from the east(?).
(Unsure of the exact direction.) They did not appear to be flying as high as the light we had witnessed and we could hear their engines. They appeared to be some type of military jet and were moving quite quickly.
These planes flew to the location where we had last seen the light. The planes then broke formation and seemed to be searching the area. One plane appeared to fly strait up, the others spread out, a started flying in a wide circular pattern.
After a few moments, the planes regrouped and headed back the direction they came from. That was the end of the event. From the time we initially saw the light until the time the jets left the area was no more than 10 to 12 min.
((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. PD)).

it was as large as our house.and silent enough no one inside heard a thing.nor did i My brother and I were out in the front of our home; I was 9 or 10.
I don't recall the approach; only the fear we both felt when it was over us. We both ducked under my mom's car and then after what SEEMED like a few minutes we both looked up. The saucer was moving away slowly and then quickly glid across the skyline toward the west.
We ran inside and told our parents. Of course no one believed us and it was a joke with my sisters for years. After that I realized my parents didn't know everything.
About 15 years later I mentioned it to my brother as we hadn't spoken of it since the week it happened. He just froze up and said, "i'm not supposed to talk about it. They told me not to.
" Although as a child I never doubted what I saw. His odd behavior made me realize he was a troubled with it as I. ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate.
PD)).
