All Reported UFO Sightings in Goldsboro, North Carolina

Full Report Text:

I witnessed three shiny objects traveling (in formation) across the sky that were not aircraft, satellites, or shooting stars. Three Shiny Objects in the Evening Sky On the evening of November 13, 2020, I was standing on my front porch facing the direction of south. The time was 5:30 pm, and the sun was beginning to set.

There were a few scattered clouds in the sky, but nothing to obscure my vision. I noticed a bright light in the sky, traveling from the south to the north in a liner direction. When the bright light approached the cloud, an orange color surrounded the moving object.

This object was quiet and no contrail was discovered. The orange glow lasted for a brief time (approx. five seconds or so).

After seeing this questionable object in the evening sky, I wanted to verify the identity of this object. I returned to the house and located a spare riflescope that placed on a shelf in my bedroom closet. I returned to the front porch to observe this object to closer examine it with the aid of a multi power riflescope ( this scope has the power to multiply the image of a target from three times to nine times the size seen with the naked eye).

I used the highest degree of magnification to identify the object in question. While looking thru the scope, all I could identify was a small shiny object; I could not discern any features with this rifle scope. I have used this same optical device to identify the ISS; I have seen the shape and colors of the ISS.

After trying to identify the object in question, I discovered two similar objects accompanying the object I was examining. All three objects were traveling in a triangular fashion. The objects appeared to resemble a formation that traveled the same direction and kept the same speed between them.

I aimed the spare riflescope at each of the objects, but I was unable to discern any details of each object. I continued to observe the three objects until the trees concealed them. I observed them for approximately 40 seconds.

I live near Seymour Johnson AFB in eastern North Carolina, and we have F-15E fighter jets and KC-46 refueling aircraft. The military aircraft produce a loud exhaust emitted from the jet engines, and they can be heard from several miles away. I have seen the fighter jets engaged in full afterburner at night; they do not stay in full afterburner for extended periods because the afterburners will quickly consume hundreds of pounds of fuel in a very short period.

The objects in question were not commercial aircraft either; I have used lower powered binoculars to identify jet powered passenger aircraft flying at their regular altitudes (they produce a contrail from the hot exhaust cooling in the extreme cold high altitudes they cruise at). I could not identify these objects. They were shiny.

They flew in an orderly fashion. They were quiet. I could not identify them as conventional jet powered aircraft.

They emitted no contrails. They were too high in altitude to clearly identify them (although I can identify any civilian/military aircraft with assisted optics: spare rifle scope or binoculars). The objects traveled in a steady and smooth path; no deviations.

What did I witness? I do not know. There were three shiny objects that traveled across the evening sky. I have witnessed satellites, the ISS, shooting stars, military fighter jets engaged in afterburner at higher altitudes engaged with other fighter jets, and dirigibles.

Dirigibles do not move across the horizon at the altitude and speed I witnessed. I noticed the first object projected an orange glow (that encompassed the entire object) when approaching a nearby cloud, but the orange glow ended shortly. The object never traveled below the cloud.

The orange cloud may have been an image produced by the reflection of the setting sun. Whatever they were, I haven’t a clue. I could not positively identify them with my spare riflescope.

There were three, and they traveled in a triangle formation. No other aircraft were available in the area. I have never experienced an event like this.

Three shiny objects traveling south to north in a triangular formation that traveled in a steady course with no deviation. Thank you for reading my personal testimony.

My trail camera captured a picture of what appears to be some sorts of hovering, entirely metallic, drone shaped craft. Checked my trail camera one day after this picture was taken. After words my buddy, his girl friend and I were all puzzled asking questions like: Could this be a pixilation? So far out of the cameras sensitivity range (50 feet) how was the picture triggered? (Object appears to be 70-80 yards away) Why was the clocked stopped?.

I feel like a seasoned outdoorsmen, but I've to make since of this picture, I'm still timid to hunt this area since the pic, please help. ((NUFORC Note: Object in photo is very strange, but we are unable to certify that it has anything to do with an alien spacecraft. The top of the object is the general shape of a quadcopter, we observe, but we cannot explain the "legs" that appear below the object.

Silent, slow-moving object, pulsating orange and white. I saw an unidentified object on the evening of Sunday (sic. Saturday), February 28, 2015, in the sky over the Rosewood Community west of Goldsboro, NC.

Estimated position was Latitude: 35.3732178, Longitude: -78.0755461.

Night was cold (~40 degrees) and partly cloudy. My son also saw the object and agreed that he wasn’t familiar with it. By the time I got binoculars, the object was obscured by trees, so I never got a closer look.

The object consisted of three lights: two small white lights that flickered rapidly, and a larger orange, or amber, light that pulsated. I could not make out a shape, just lights. The object moved very slowly from northeast to southwest.

At times, I wasn't sure it was moving at all. I kept checking it against fixed stars. It seemed to be moving too slowly to be a conventional aircraft.

It also made no sound. We saw other aircraft in the air at the same time, but they were obviously conventional aircraft. The UFO was not.

Given our proximity to an Air Force base, I suppose it could have been some type of unconventional aircraft, but I’ve not seen one like it before. Perhaps it was very, very high, and that’s why it seemed to be moving so slowly and silently. I HAVE seen some kind of experimental aircraft in our skies before.

I’ve seen the glow from jet engines suddenly wink out and the planes go both black and completely silent at night. I assume it’s some kind of new propulsion system. I asked somebody who has connections with the base if they fly test flights at night and he just smiled knowingly and said, “No comment.

” So who knows. I am 50ish, male, well-educated, and reasonably sane. My son is a teenager.

Both of us have good vision and are somewhat skeptical about paranormal stuff.

3 ufos flying in a Triangle formation Noticed a craft flying west to east and it was one light in the night sky blinking rapidly changing from red to orange, as the craft flew it changed directions and started to fly north. I then notice another craft trailing behind. This other craft was blinking just like the first one.

Then I noticed a 3rd craft out in the distance. All 3 ufos created a perfect triangle formation with about 1/2 a mile distance between crafts. As the crafts kept flying the first UFO stoped blinking and then became a solid orange color for about 30 seconds or so.

The it just flew into the distance. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

numerous strobe lights in sky looks like strobe lights in the sky moving around in no particular pattern. there is an exercise being conducted on Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. these lights are not coming from that area.

after about 20 min of watching the lights we could see other aircraft around these lights. then suddenly 2 fighter jets where in route to the lights. then 5 minutes later 3 more fighter jets where in route.

after about 10 to 15 more minutes you could here faint booms in the sky. as im typing this. the lights are still in the sky.

i also have video from my phone but i dont think it can be seen.

Two oval shaped objects fly over Goldsboro, NC It was dark outside with the sun just over the horizon. As I walked my dog down the road I my neighborhood, I spotted two very bright lights travelling perfectly parallel to each other at high speeds, faster than any aircraft. I watched them travel south west for about four seconds until they disappeared.

They just vanished in the air, not into clouds or over the trees. They were about as bright as the planet Jupiter. They didn’t leave any trails or make a noise.

A Street light switched off when they vanished but turned back on after a few seconds. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)) ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

I saw 4 balls of fire floating through the night sky My daughter and I were on our way home. I was driving in my car. I saw these things that looked like balls of fire.

It was sprinkling a little bit so maybe it wasn't but it sure looked like it. I only saw three at first they were in a triangle like shape. They didn't stay that way though.

As they were floating(I say that because they were moving very slowly as if the wind were just carrying them)two of them started floating in and out of each other as if they were racing. Then out the corner of my eye I see another one. It was nowhere near the other three.

I tried to take a pic. on my cell phone but I was driving in bad weather conditions at night and what i got looked like a fake or like a street light. Either way it was no good.

I called my husband and told him about what I had just seen. Ive looked on the internet to see if anybody else saw them that night or if anybody anywhere has seen the same thing. Ive looked at some pics.

but have seen none that look like what I had seen. I know what I saw and I believe what I saw was something out of this world and my husband also believes that I seen something strange that night. bright flash in bellingham area.

A flash of light lit my whole house. My dog freaked out. At the same time a friend who lives 15 miles away witnessed this same light and his dog freaked out aswell.

I was wondering if anyone else noticed this. I have never seen a UFO and don't nessasarly beleive in them, but I can not think of another explaination. My girlfriend has witnessed a similar occurance.

Winter lighting??? ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

me and a friend were standing out side about 8:30 P. M. talking .

we were about 5 miles south of Goldsboro in a community called Mar Mac. we were just talking when I spotted a light moving in front of us at about 1500 feet im guessing. when I first saw it I thought it was one of the fighters from Seymour Johnson air force base.

it looked like one of the landing lights on the planes. we were about 5 miles from the base and there were planes flying all around. we noticed that there were no other lights on what ever it is.

there were no red or green and no strobe just a white light that looked like a bright star. then we saw what looked like smoke coming from it. it looked kinda like a comet with a tail.

then it flashed and split off onto to lights. kept the same altitude and speed. the two lights stayed on the same course but kept drifting farther apart but still going in the same direction.

the light in the front flashed again and we saw a small puff of smoke but it did not split into two. they just kept going and flew right over the base. I have lived here all my life and I have seen every kinda of plane go in and out of the base .

I have never seen anything like this, it also made no sound, we could not make out any kind of craft. but we could tell the lights were attached to something. I had heard the stories of ufo landings on the base.

a lot of people around here have seen ufos and flying saucers. and black triangles. but I never give it much thought.

until now !! ((NUFORC Note: We assume that the witness describes above the launch of a Titan IV missile out of Cape Canaveral, which occurred at 20:55 hrs. (Eastern) on this date. The missile apparently was launched to the northeast, so it was visible along the eastern shoreline of the U.

Silvery grey sphere was spotted over wayne county in North Carolina I was riding back home in the rear of my SUV while my wife was driving with several passengers and looking up at the telephone poles passing by out of sheer boredom. I then began to look at he clouds above as there were not many that day as i remember so my eyes began to wander from cloud to cloud until i thought that i had seen some object darting around a one of the smaller clouds. I had to re-focus and take another look to register what i was seeing.

The UFO was definitely a sphere and as to my best guess it would seem to be at an altitude that commuter jet aircraft would fly. All I really remember is that the sphere was dancing around this cloud and making incredible turns as if playing around it. I watched in amazement as it would appear in front of the cloud and travel the lenth of what i can compare to three or four football lengths then stop and make almost a 90 turn then go around the back until i would see it appear in front of the cloud again.

The color was a silver or gray in nature. ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. PD)).

strange lights in NC While travelling back from pittsburgh on I-95 just north of truckstop road, I noticed a light formation on the horizon to the east. The lights were green, white, and blue and were in an arch from horizon to horizon, evenly spaced and didnt seem to move up or down, just east to west. We pulled the car over into the breakdown lane to observe the lights.

As they passed overhead there was no sound, and I couldnt make out any shape of a craft, as they seemed pretty high up. After they passed over us we got back into the car and continued driving down the highway. The color of the lights had changed to red, and they seemed to have doubled.

They coninued to move west until the lights faded out of sight. ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. PD)).

1997 rotating stars positioned to left and right of moon do fast clockwise rotations I was on hwy 70 west one summer in 97 I was traveling back to my current home in Pikeville and just had gotten a mcdonalds big mac after work, It was a clean night and decided to look up at the moon. That is when I seen 2 star like objects "white light as of a star" Which I thought it was a star at first and also thought it was a bit strange that one was to the left of the moon and the other to the exact right. They were brighter than normal stars I thought so I observed them just because it was cool.

Then I noticed they appeared to do a clockwise rotation very quickly around the moon back to there places they were at. I thought at this point that I must be seeing things so I pulled over off the exit to William st off 70 west and sat in my pickup truck bed. The stars kept doing the same rotation and it was very fast and I know that that is not normal.

So After seeing this I needed a witness so I rushed home to pikeville to inform my roomate of this and in the 20 min it took to get home they stopped and dissapeared. I did not see them dissapear it is almost like they dimmed and blended back in with the regular stars. Between all this and the ghosts I have bumped into the past 7 years I am starting to open up to the fact that some strange stuff is going on.

Witness to a large, smooth, silent sphere, kind of the color of the moon. It was about eleven years ago when seven of my friends and I were jumping on my trampoline in my back yard. I was only ten years old, but I'll never forget anything about the night.

It was probably one of the clearest nights, and the moon was either full, or close to it. I was playing with my friends, just goofing off, and I jumped in a circle. When I turned I saw something in the sky that, kind of resembled a smaller moon.

It was just below and to the right of where the moon was positioned, and it was really close to our houses. I stopped jumping and watched it; I could feel that everyone was still jumping. I didn’t even think to get their attention, because I didn’t want to look away.

It was a huge sphere in the sky, about the same color of the moon, but completely smooth. As I continued to watch it, it dipped down, came up again, dipped behind the top of the trees, came up again, and then finally disappeared behind the trees. It never made a sound.

I watched to see if it would come up again, but it didn’t. From my point of view, it looked like it had landed in the softball field behind my friend’s house; that friend was jumping on the trampoline with me at that moment. I turned around quickly to tell everyone what I had seen, when one of my other friends said, "Did you see that?!" Everyone stopped to listen to what we both saw, but none of them had seen it but us.

I think about it now, and I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one to see it, because I would feel crazy. We still talk about it from time to time, I think, just to make sure we did both see it. ((NUFORC Note: Source of report indicates that the date of the incident is approximate.

Full Report Text:

Driving home at night, saw lights that I thought were landing lights of an airplane, stopped my car, lights didn't move, huge object. Driving home from town, I observed what I thought were landing lights from Air Force planes. I lived within probally a mile or so of the landing pattern for Seymour Johnson AFB and have seen their planes numerous times.

Also, my father was career Air Force and I have been around planes all of my life. To the point that I was able to identify certain types of planes just by hearing them, the distinct sounds they made. (Ex.

F4's, C5A, C141's, F104 & 105's to name a few) This particular evening I was about a mile from home, when I noticed "these" lights. Being familiar with the area and what SJ landing pattern was, when I saw these lights, I thought to myself , "these guys are really low". I watched for about 30-45 seconds.

The lights appeared right at tree top level. The closer I got to the lights, the lower the seemed to drop, now visibly seeing trees pass in front of these lights, evern at a distance. My thought at that point was, these guys are not going to make the runway.

From where I lived and where I saw these light and knowing where the runway was, they were just too low. The runway was at least another mile to the east and they were at tree top level. The first part of the road I was traveling on a straight away.

After about 30-45 seconds of watching this, the road turns to the right. No one on the roads at all that night. As I bear to the right towards my home, which is about 1/4 mile away now, I am now looking to my left, out of the drivers window, watching these light, which seem to bop from tree top level to below that and back up again.

At this point, I am really thinking that this plane is going to crash, these guys are in trouble and they are way too low. Again, after I bear right and I'm watching what I thought was an Air Force plane, I'm only going about 20 mph, hardly taking my eyes off of this thing. Also, there is a small wheat field off to my left on the other side of the road before the tree line.

The tree line at this point where I am at is about 220-250 yards from the! road. As I'm watching this thing, I use the term "thing or lights", I notice something strange which at first I concluded was just some kind of optical illusion, because of the direction I am traveling now and the direction of the lights are traveling. I think SJ planes usually land in a west to easterly direction.

I am now traveling west. As I'm driving, I'm glancing out of my window, the lights look like they are going in the same direction I am traveling. I have my window down in the car as well, and after 150 or so feet, I begin thinking to myself, I should be hearing this thing as large as it is and it's seems to be going the same direction as me, this is really strange.

So I pull my car to a stop. A complete stop in the middle of the road. I look out of my window and there slightly below tree top level is this huge craft of some type, now also, like me, stopped, not making a sound, no engine sound whatsoever, not moving, but clearly airborne and clearly a very large craft.

My best estimates on size were 300 ft long and about 40 foot high, multiple row of lights straight across for looked like each tier, three tiers. Anyway, I panicked after about 6-7 seconds of sitting there looking at this thing, punched the gas and flew home. I have had 2 other encounters/observations/sightings, one the very next night, at my house which was stange in itself and another about 10 years earlier when I lived in Alaska.

The Alaska sighting I had was witnessed with a friend, whom I won't mention.
