North Carolina UFO Sightings in 2007

Full Report Text:

White streak with firey tail traveled horizonally from western horizon to eastern horizon in 10 seconds A white streak(comet appearance)appeared from the western horizon and traveled straight across the sky to the eastern horizon in about 8-10 seconds. I have seen comets and they just appear and burn out, this was no comet or falling star. I was looking due south and the object was a streak of bright white leaving a red trail of what appeared to be fire.

It was silent as it went whizzing overhead and out of sight.

Large round bright object seen flying above tree line in Cary, NC It was a little after 7pm on Friday, Dec 14th 2007. The night was very clear and the stars were visable. I was reading on the balcony of my apt, located on the 3rd floor, which faces a wooded area.

I noticed something bright out of the corner of my eye. To the right, above the tree line, I saw a large, round, very bright white object moving very quickly. It moved so quickly it gave off a tail of light.

The object made no noise at all and moved in a straight horizontal line. It appeared to be no more than 10 to 20 feet above the tree line. I jumped up from my seat to follow the object as it moved out of my sight, but it quickly disappeared behind my complex.

Suspicious flashing light white light at Kemp Rd and Highway 98 I was driving north along Kemp Rd in northern Raleigh about 5 miles from high way 98. I saw an incredibly bright, white, flashing light above the trees ahead of the road. It flashed about every 4 seconds, very regularly, I could tell because it was flashing to the beat of the song I was listening to.

It was the size of a pin head when I first noticed it and it was a bit too high to be a tower, or any kind and I was too far out in the country for any houses to be around, there are no light poles or even power lines along that road. I know this area pretty well, I live just a few miles away and I drive on that road all the time, I have never seen anything like that out there before. As I drove closer I went around a few turns and it was now on the right side of my car, it got a lot bigger and a lot brighter very quickly.

At the biggest, I saw it through the trees, it was almost the size of the moon and it was bright, when I looked at the center it was so bright it blinded my vision, the center looked multicolored or black it was so bright. I do not think it ever moved but I cannot be sure. I have never seen anything up in the air that bright, that big and not moving.

When I could not see it I could tell it was there because it kind of lit up the area. When I got to highway 98 I turned west back to my house. I could not see the light once I got onto 98, I drove down hill and the light was behind and to the right of me.

slow-moving comet like tail with single strobe over western north carolina I walked outside around 1920 eastern time, looked up, and my eye was caught by what looked like a bright comet with a very well-defined conical tail (it looked like the pictures i've seen of comet Kohoutek). It was similar in size to a full moon. I went in and got my binoculars (12 power) and resumed watching.

With binoculars, I was able to see that the object was moving slowly, referencing the stars nearby. Over the course of 20 or 25 minutes, the object moved in an ENE direction from near the constellation Pegasus until it became too faint to see in the middle of the constellation Cassiopeia. Several times during viewing, I observed a single bright flash like an aircraft strobe, and twice I saw objects not unlike satellites in brightness and speed pass moving west to within a degree (a full moon being around 1/2 a degree) of the object.

At about 7:00 PM in the evening I noticed what looked immediately like a bright comet in the sky. It had a wide, bright white tail fanning out from from a point at the front of the "fan". I looked at it through 2 sets of binoculars and a 90mm Retractor.

Through all of these instruments it looked just like a comet in the sky with the exception of a random flashing blue light either at the forefront of the tail or somewhere inside of it. It moved though the sky very slowly but in only one direction. It dissipated after about 25-30 minutes.

I thought perhaps it was the remnants of a trail from a rocket. I checked for a shuttle launch but one did not take place this evening. I believe it was some kind of smoke remnant but I simply cannot explain the intermittent blue light.

I will continue to sour the internet for an answer to this phenonmenon. ((NUFORC Note: Missile venting fuel in space. PD)).

Unexplained object moving SW to NE over North Carolina skies, tracked via refractor telescope/ computerized mount December 10, 2007 (written 2130 hrs) To whom it may concern, I am an amateur astronomer and was observing here in my observatory at my home in Pittsboro, N.C., observing a double star in the constellation Delphinus.

At approximately 1845, I spotted a green hue in the SW skies near the Messier object M15, approximately 45 degrees above the SW horizon. It appeared to be a comet; I quickly slewed my telescope to the object, and viewed it at a magnification of 100X. The object was traveling at a high rate of speed, but much slower than a normal satellite when viewed through a telescope eyepiece field of view.

The object contained what appeared to be a head and a tail (very much like Haley’s comet looked years ago through a pair of binoculars), and its magnitude was so bright that it was dominant in the sky. There was also a point of light that moved with the object at the same speed, approximately one tenth of a degree from the “head” of the object. I tracked the object for approximately 45 minutes, the “tail” faded (almost appeared to dissipate over time), but the point of light near the haze remained in the eyepiece, it’s magnitude and position not changing over the period of time that it was tracked.

The object passed very close to the star Schedar in the constellation Cassiopeia. I stopped tracking the object as it passed through the constellation Cassiopeia at approximately 1935 hrs. The object continued to move in a NE direction at approximately 60 degrees above the northern horizon.

The Telescope I was using to track the “object” was a Telescope Engineering Company (TEC) 200mm (8 inch) f/9 refractor, mounted on a Astro-Physics 1200gto computerized equatorial mount. The object was tracked by moving the Declination and Right ascension axis in a manual mode. ((NUFORC Note: Missile venting fuel in space.

Triangle shaped object in WNC We were driving westbound on I40 toward Sylva on Balsam Mountain when my husband got my attention and pointed to the sky. There was a slow moving triangular shaped object with a light in each corner that was a greenish color. The craft was moving much slower than a plane and it was not hovering like a helicopter.

There were no flashing lights on the sides or under belly. It is hard to know what the complete shape and dimensions would be because it was dark. The craft came towards us, passed over our vehicle ( there was no noise) and then continued on to the right.

We turned around a little father down to see if it was visible and had continued on the same path but it was gone.

Monroe NC Unexplained stationary hovering lights There are 3 objects that we thought were stars at first or even planes, but after 40 minutes these objects appear to move slightly away but stay in same general area over 1 hour and are still visible to us! The colors change from green to red to a touch of blue, with even a shade of white at time, but will go full bright green too! They constantly blink non stop. We can't figure out the shapes on these things, but do know they are lined up like connect the dots with the 3 objects being the top of a triangle. I almost forgot that I took pictures outside and only the one object appears, but camera will not pick up the other two objects and batteries went dead after 4 pictures and these are new batteries, but within 5 minutes of returning back inside the house batteries worked fine! We started watching these abjects around 9:45 pm but it is now 11:10 pm and they are still visible.

Became brighter the closer I got. Noticed alternating flashing lights near the bottom of the shape. Positioned in western slightly Northwestern sky.

Very, very bright. Vanished. Was not a plane.

I almost pulled over on the side of the highway to view object because this was so strange. Before I could it was just gone.

Bright Green light, square shape While driving home from VA, across NC on route 64 heading west. The night was clear, no clouds. I was driving.

In conversation with my husband, I looked over at him and saw through the window, what appeared to be a falling star, I told him to look and make a wish. It then got very large, very quickly, as it apeared to move out of the open sky and through the trees off to our left. In the decent thhe object turned bright green and was square in shape, we watched it decend (We were going 65 miles per hour) off to our left into the farm country.

It was a quick but profound experience that has left us wondering what on earth it was!!!!.

a bright red light seen to grow in size and intensity, then vanish. I'm a pizza delivery driver. Earlier in the day (about 6-ish) I saw a bright red light, that looked about the size of mars (seen from earth), but it was sleightly brighter, and thought it was mars.

Later, about 6:30, I was driving southish, and I saw the same thing, only this time, it was brighter. After two or so seconds, the light grew brighter, and expanded in size to about 1/2 inch at arms length. Then it quickly dimmed, and dissapeared.

I could see no plane lights in that area after the sighting. I'm no astronomer, but I always watch the stars. ((NUFORC Note: Sighting of Iridium satellite flare?? PD)).

I saw a very brief sighting, of what I would describe as a stealth craft. It was dark gray colored, and the best that I could tell, was triangle-shaped. It was at the most 5000 to 7500 feet high.

It moved faster than anything I’ve ever seen. It flew at an angle and was only visible for a second. I just can’t imagine that a US stealth plane (SR-71) would be in this area.

extremely bright green ball of light I was driving to work and I saw a very bright green light go from east to west at a very fast speed. It was so bright that it left me breathless for a second and then it was gone. It appeared to look about the size of a large beach ball in comparision to the size of the sky any idea what I saw and did anyone else see this last night?.

Digital pictures of alien ship in Leicester NC I was staying at my sister’s house in Leicester, NC. Her house is on the side of a mountain with the eastern view from its side and front. On the night on Oct 28th, I was walking my dogs and saw an orange half ball in the sky, at fist I couldn’t make out what it was, then I realized it was the moon coming up.

It was such a perfect half circle in a bright fiery orange , I went inside and got a picture on my digital, there were white spots above the moon, which I took for stars, it wasn’t quite full night, it was approx 8:42pm. Then I turned to the side of the house and the stars were so bright there I took pictures also, the next couple of days I also took pictures of the sunrise And captured what I thought were stars. I’ll try to email the pictures with this.

Where my sister’s house is, it’s in one the great energy vortexes in US, if you know about that.
