U.F.O.
seen over Greensboro, N.C. , unbelievable sighting of a Bright glowing object in the sky.
Myself and my friend were sneaking out when we were teenagers I'm now 29. We were meeting 2 girls in my neighborhood and were going to walk up to the local Circle K convenient store. Well, we met up with the girls halfway, and started walking up to the store.
The neighborhood was a very large suburban neighborhood outside of Greensboro, N.C. close to the Piedmont International airport.
I can remember the night there so vividly, the cars had frost on them that would glisten under the street lights. It was such a cold night, but we were having fun sneeking out walking up to the store, we were about 14 yrs of age. On our way to the store we were all cutting up having a good time when my buddy who was a jokster to say the least, all of a sudden said ya'll theres a U.
F.O. My initial thought was he is such an idiot, until I looked up and couldn't believe my eyes, their in the dark sky a little above the trees was a huge Bright yellowish oval object slowly careening above the trees.
We all in utter disbelief stood there and gazed at it. Like I said, it was oval in shape sort of like a football stretched a little. It Was completely glowing a very illuminated yellowish color, with a little blinking light at the front of the U.
F.O. according to the direction of movement.
Itwas approximately a quarter mile above the ground about a half of mile from wher we were at. Without saying a word we all started running toward the object, but all of a sudden it simply vanished leaving puffy pink trails only to be seenin the city and moon lights. So, with exubilation walked to the store and met w/ a friend who had a driver license and car and he picked us up to go riding.
We began to tell him of what we witnessed, and he sort of just laughed it off until he turned on his radio and radio DJ announced that a bunch of drunks on a Saturday night were calling in reported U.F.O.
sightings, but we knew better because we were not drunk and definetaly not crazy. Our friend believed us after he heard the ra! dio DJ. Oh yea, forgot the object was also moving extremely slow and made no noise.
That is what I remember like it was yesterday. Thank you for reading my story and keeping an open mind. I could't tell you what we saw that winter night many years ago, but I would sure like to know.
I bet the Government knows. Thank-You.

The object moved right and left very fast then a flash of light it split in two objects. I was sitting on my back porch and saw a grey object over the pine trees west of me. It was not moveing at that time.
About two minutes passed and it darted rightback to the left very fast. It went down behind the pines and back up and left a snake like trail. I saw a blue green flash in the center and it split in two objects.
Clowds moved in and I lost the object. I reported this to mufon and thay took a report. I joined Mufon and became an Investigator.
About A week later I had something in my left nostrol and had a nose bleed. It stil bothers me today,and Iam 73 yrs. old.

brilliant light coming and going i was sitting on a bicycle in my grandmothers driverway.with my cousin.a very bright brilliant light at first white.
changing into blue and shades of redish orangish like a fire.lit up all of the sudden.it acted as if it was a rocket and shot straight up.
at what seem about 3/4 of a mile away and was no sound at all.the light went up for i'd say about 5 or 600 yards and quickly dissapated.we both looked at each other and i seen a shadow off of my cousin standing beside me when the light came back but much lower in the sky.
we both thought that it was a rocket the way it went back up but at a angle like 75 degrees or so.once again it was changing colors and moving very quick with no sound.it then went out like a rocket out of fuel.
and once more came back to light the sky just a little lower than when it burnt out.and shot straight up for at least 1000 ft and took a turn toward the north and was gone.to this day i have no idea what it was.

Unexplained hovering fire ball in the sky This experience has perplexed me for years. Back in the mid early 1990’s while I was driving to my 2nd shift job at the time at approximately 9:45pm I saw something that I cannot explain. I saw a large perfectly round red ball in the air over a field.
The best way I could describe it would be a fire ball. At first it looked as if it was falling to the earth but was too slow of a descent to be something falling. The object stopped falling hovered and moved to the right and then started to ascend back into the sky again.
There probably is some logical explanation as to what I was seeing but for the life of me I can’t think what that explanation would be. I would love for someone with UFO experience to contact me and give me a logical explanation of what I was seeing.

3 egg shaped yellow crafts seen in the sky by 12-15 witnesses, hovers for 15-20 minutes then vanishes! It was the Fourth of July and me and several of my friends were in our neighborhood pool parking lot setting off fireworks. At around 10:00 PM my friend noticed noticed 3 egg shaped yellow shining crafts in the night sky shaped into a perfect triangle. They appeared to be slowly rotating positions but all of a sudden the crafts would speed up instantly and switch positions, keeping the triangular shape.
I immediately took out my iPhone and took a picture of this event. There is no way this could have been an airplane because it was not moving in a particular direction, there were no blinking lights, and planes can't suddenly speed up like these crafts did. Here's the image: http://postimage.

Gigantic flat black ship with molded rooms on bottom and tubes leading to each room seen in Zebulon, North Carolina. I was driving out of the town of Zebulon, North Carolina. toward Wendell, North Carolina along Highway 97.
I was taking my daughter (12 at the time) home from school. As I drove down a long hill, I noticed something large in the sky, blocking the sky over much of the road in front of me. I mentioned it to my daughter who, needless to say totally freaked out and begged me not to stop.
I didn't stop, but I did drive extremely slowly in order to get a better look at it and try to remember exactly how it looked from underneath. I did for about two minutes or more. It looked very much like the 3D picture I am inclosing.
The 3D picture I am inclosing was hard to do and the lighting is not quite right, but it is as close as I can get to what I saw that evening bringing my daughter home from school. Although the picture shows square edges, I have yet to learn how to make rounded corners in the program I used. The large ship flew silently.
It flew at a constant (almost sickning) speed of maybe 15 mph or less. The outside of the ship (or rather the bottom which is all we saw because of the size of it) was black, but not shiny. Dull black is what we saw.
The ship was bigger than anything I had ever heard of, maybe being 6 football fields or larger. It was so large, neither one of us could tell if it was round or square or what. although I watched it intently, I believe it was of a rectangle shape, for we could see two of the sides, but not the other two.
I looked to the right and to the left into the tops of the trees to see just how big the thing was, but could not see an end to it in either direction. It flew just above the tree tops, at least it looked very very close to us. As it flew over my car (with my daughter now screaming histerically) I noticed that while one side of this huge ship was just beginning to hover over the car, the other side that was seeable was still about a quarter mile down the street.
The bottom of the craft had something 'molded' into the bottom like huge rooms with rounded off corners sticking out of the bottom. There were round tubes that went from one 'room' to another. I only got a look at the part of the ship that came over the road.
I drove even slower, hoping that someone would come down the road so I could stop them and tell them to "Look! There is a ship!" I saw no lights what so ever and the bottom of the ship was extremely visible to the naked eye. I wouldn't ever call it a UFO. This was a ship.
It was bigger than anything I or my daughter has ever seen, and it flew right over my car and over the town of Zebulon, North Carolina. This is not the only time things have been seen here. I emplore the public to please report anything seen of this magnitude in or around Zebulon, North Carolia or anywhere else for that matter.
Someone besides us had to have seen this huge ship or even got a glimpse of a ship that has huge molded 'rooms' on the bottom! I have yet to read of anything like this in your postings or anywhere else on the internet. I need other witnesses besides my daughter and myself. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) It was in the late Spring of 1994, my daughter had turned 12 in January of that year.
The trees had leaves on them and the children were still in school. ((END)) ((NUFORC Note: Date and time are approximate. We have assigned an arbitrary date and time, based on the statement above by the witness.
PD)).

Seen craft very close hovering over telephone poll not moving or making a sound. I was with my mom, dad, and brother we were on our way to the store when we noticed about 5 or 6 cars stopped and people standing around looking up. We looked up and seen a UFO that was hovering about 50 to 100 or so feet over a telephone pole.
It was very close and I could see it perfectly. It was shaped like two bowls with the rims touching together. It had lights that went all around the center of it.
There was what seemed to be a door that was opened on the side of it. I kept looking in trying to see if I could see something. The craft just sat there not moving or making a sound.
Everyone was just standing there amazed at what they were seeing. We stood there for a while just looking at this thing until my brother started crying and going histerical so we got back in the car and left. We went to the store and when we came back through it was gone.
There is nothing else this thing could have been than a UFO. I seen it so close and for such a long time with many people there with me. ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate.
PD)).
