North Carolina UFO Sightings in 2013

Full Report Text:

I am blown away about what I saw tonight, I live in the country and watch stars all the time and that is not what I saw tonight. We saw 7 bright orange objects and one bright orange with a red halo all coming from the east going north. I am not sure if there was anymore before or after because I came inside to to look up if any military ops was going on.

The only thing I saw that might be an explanation is that 29 satellites was being set out tonight, but what satellites are redish/orange that move fast from the east and the slow down and stop to go north.

I was taking my daughter to a friend's house when we saw several orange lights above the lake. They looked to be several thousand feet up. They floated slowly upward and one even looked like it got so close to another one that it was behind it for a second.

unknown light Live near airport. Thought it was a helicopter at first but it was moving very slowly. Then thought it was a meteor but no tail was seen and it was to slow.

There was no sound. It continued on same path and then when I was going to assume it was a helicopter the light just disappeared. Very strange.

Fluidly,floating,white light. We were playing basketball in driveway. I noticed out of the corner of my eye, what appeared to be a star moving.

In comparison the light was as big as a star in the sky, but way brighter. I guess it to have been cloud height. It jutted forward with amazing speed, stopped for a brief second, then went up and down while moving forward across the sky.

Suddenly it stopped, backed up a little ways and then did a complete and perfect circle flying backwards in the sky. It moved like fluid if that makes sense. After the circle it just floated straight ahead until the light went out or it went into cloud cover, i am not sure.

Was heading due east.

Slow moving light formation. Formation of of 3 lights. Two orange or yellow lights on bottom with red on top.

Glowing, almost flickering, definitely not flashing like an airplane. Moved slowly south towards Calabash , then disappeared. Elevation like a helicopter traveling.

Could not hear any sound. Reminded me of a rocket launch. Saw many of them at night when I lived in Florida.

Orange colored object in the eastern sky over the ocean near Wrightsvillle Beach, NC. Glowing orange light observed in the eastern sky off Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. It moved from north to south.

It appeared at first sight to be close to the ocean surface and then climbed to what seemed to be about 1000 feet. I could hear no sound associated with the object. It continued to move south by southwest.

One observer is a psychologist and the other was his wife. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Two very silent and steady red lights at relatively low altitude with individual paths pass directly overhead in the night sky. I was in a parking lot at 36.074638, -80.

057982. The objects were steady red lights, similar in appearance to lights on a distant radio tower. In the course of about 60 seconds they moved at relatively constant speed from about 45 degrees on the horizon almost due South (when I first observed them) to about 30 degrees on the horizon almost due North, passing directly overhead.

When I first observed them to the south, they had some initial horizontal movement that brought them very close together a couple of times, and then they separated by about a degree or two, and remained roughly parallel for about 40 seconds as they passed overhead and towards the North, and one was a couple of degrees in front of the second. I thought it was strange to see only single red lights from individual aircraft. But I also thought that they were likely helicopters when I first observed the horizontal movements they initially made.

I fully expected that as they grew close! r, I would hear some form of engine or rotor noise. But as they passed overhead, there was nothing but silence. If they had been aircraft, I would have estimated their altitude to have been a couple thousand feet.

When they got to the 30 degree angle in the north sky, one red light veered off to the right at about a 45 degree angle and I lost sight of it, and about 5 seconds later, the second light disappeared, obscured by low level clouds and city lights from the horizon. I am a licensed professional civil engineer, and I happened to be in my church parking lot at the time of the observation. I tried to take a phone video of the second half of the observation, but I only got a completely white image.

3 Orange Lights Spotted We were traveling down Old Shallotte Road headed to Grissettown (Hwy 17) and just after we passed Old Shallotte Baptist Church, my husband and I saw 1 bright orange colored light in the sky towards the North. It only lasted a few seconds and was gone. He said, "What was that?" I said, "Maybe a falling star.

?" Then suddenly as we were debating what it could be, 3 MORE appeared. In a formation of a triangle, brightening up to a orangish/yellow light then disappearing one at a time. They were in the same part of the sky as the 1st light appearing.

Then as we were turning onto 17 and heading North towards Shallotte, we saw on the right side of the car, IN the Sky, flashing white lights which continuously blinked over and over. They stayed like that blinking for probably 5 minutes and did not move from where they were in the sky.

Star that appeared to move around in the sky. Saw what I thought to be a star off over treeline, then didn't remember it being there a few minutes ago. Okay I live in heavy air traffic area as well from CLT.

For a few seconds appeared to be coming slightly closer then stopped and begin darting from right to left up and down and changing in brightness, this was no airplane any plane would have broken apart moving like this. Only traveled what looked like small increments and stayed around one area for about ten to fifteen minutes. slowly drifted out of sight and then I couldn't see at all.

White egg shape object spotted while working I had just returned from lunch, back to the construction sight I was working at. As I started getting everything going again, I saw a white egg shaped flying object in a otherwise blue sky. I thought it was sideview of a plane but it went up like a helicopter, but there were rutters.

It then preceded to continue going in the direction it start, left. It went out of sight and I would've had to leave the job to see it and I wasnt able to.

2 waves of 25-50 silent glowing white spheres slowly flying in formation. Date: 12/16/2013 07:20 PM Location: Backyard (Morrisville, NC) Who: My family (2 adults 3 children) including my father who was visiting. We were out back enjoying a fire when I looked up and saw what at first looked like a flock of birds.

About 25-50 white objects were flying in formation over our heads. They were silent and we did not see any wings moving. It was a full moon and clear sky so its possible that the moon light was reflecting off the “birds” but I’ve never seen anything like this before, none of us had.

They moved at a slow steady pace and changed formation, it looked like a “V” formation that got wider as they floated by. Another way to describe it was it looked like fish swimming in water, the objects did not move like normal birds. A few seconds later another wave of objects flew by in the same fashion.

I suppose these objects could be what people refer to as “Orbs”.

Vertical object with red strobes moved in the northern sky from west to east. We were outside trying to observe the ISS in the NW sky - did not see it but suddenly in the N sky about 40 degrees above the horizon we saw an object that was apparently vertical, red blinking strobes (back and forth, top then bottom, rapid succession, 6 times per second roughly?) - moved from west to east. It appeared very large, but must have been enormous as it disappeared over the horizon in the NE sky.

The lower light appeared at about 30 degrees above, the uppermost light was at more than 45 degrees above horizon.

3 lights in sky, all moving very very fast. I was standing out at my bus stop when I saw two lights right next to each other, one looked as if it was floating and it was hovering back and forth, then I noticed the one next to it get really bright and it flashed across the sky, at first I thought it was a satellite or something until it came to an almost complete stop. (It traveled from one side of the sky to the other in about 1 second) afterwards I saw it just sit there and out of nowhere another one zips straight infront of the other one.

They both just hover for about 30 seconds and I see them turn and I could see the craft, it massive, then they both got really bright and flashed, then they were past the tree line so I couldn't see their lights anymore. I looked back at the first ship still in the original spot and I noticed its lights got bright and zipped away in the same direction as the other two.

I was watching a movie on my smartphone, suddenly the movie stopped playing to buffer. As I was waiting for it to continue I noticed 3 orbs of light outside my window about 3-4 feet off the ground and 30 feet away. The light orbs were moving slowly back and forth, up and down.

I got up and went to the window to investigate. I can clearly see them now, no backgrounds light, no people in the area. As I was watching the they formed into a line and slowly moved away to the left and disappeared behind 2 vehicles.

I was completely stunned and blown away, I wasn't really scared but more scared because I couldn't explain the lights. Several minutes later i seen 2 cats and a dog walking the same area as the lights.

Silent ball of light traveling at extremely fast speed, witnessed by 3 people. My husband I were out side at 12:27am eastern time. When I seen a light hoovering out of the corner of my eye.

At first I thought it was a star. It was bright yellow/orange. It flew over us just above the tree line going at a speed I have never seen an aircraft go.

It was gone in a matter of seconds. Once it passed the tree line in our yard we could see green and red lights, making it appear possible a triangular shape. During this time brother came out side and also witnessed the craft.

I don't know if the incidents are connected, but right before we went outside my husband had a sleep paralysis type thing happen. I don't want to sound crazy, but it is a very large coincidence. Of this craft hovering behind our house and him having the dream like episode.

Also, no noise was could be heard.

Two lights. One bright white light & a dim blue one (appearing & disappearing). Ground level & moving closer.

Last night. First time back in a week from Jamaica. Me & my sis hot boxed outside around 1am, when all of a sudden I noticed I bright light.

& then I noticed a second blue light. It was not as bright. It was jus a blue light.

I didn’t say anythin to my sister for a while I jus watched the blue light until it disappeared & appeared again. I still didn’t say anything until the first light got brighter then it would lesson it’s brightness. It wasn’t someone walking with a flashlight but they were gettin closer.

So I asked my sister “is that a plane?” She says no it’s too bright nd it’s not moving. All of a sudden the blue light comes back & I asked her did she see it. She saw it.

& it disappeared again. & that’s when I was confused as to what I was seeing. We’re these people ? I haven’t hot boxed that spot in a week.

So many questions unanswered. The brightest light was gettin closer & we refused to leave becuz our eyes were amazed. We saw the same thing.

We de! cided to run as fast as we could to the house because it wasn't in the air it was more ground level at this point. I wanted to get my Canon t3i with my 55-250mm lens to record & get a better look but my sister didn't want me to go back out there.
