Bright light spotted in High Point NC over lake. (Sorry for submitting this twice, I realized I set the date to today, and not Monday, on accident.) I was arriving to my step fathers house at around 9 PM EST, and I looked up to the sky above his house, which overlooks some semi-tall trees and leades into a lake.
When I looked above, I saw a flash of light that stayed in the air for a good few seconds. The light descended slowly, much larger than a plane and more slowly than that, until it disappeared behind the house. My mother was with me, but she didn't see it, as she was taking bags out of the car.
It was large, about the size of the moon, but much brighter. As it descended behind the trees I tried to run around to the back, but it was already gone. The shape was nearly perfectly circular, but I describe it as a fireball because of the hazy outside of bright blue along with the white center.

Unique Craft Spotted above trees, still motion, strange shape, just observing. I was driving home and noticed some sort of craft way down the road. As I got closer I noticed that it wasn't moving.
Still I got closer until I was right under it. It was positioned just off the side of the road about 20-30 feet above the tree line (but not behind the trees, closer to the road). It had to be as big as my car since it appeared the same size that far up.
I paused under it briefly in wonder. The clouds behind it were lit by the moon perfect, so I could make out the shape. It was like nothing I've seen or heard described.
It had very short, stout wings, the front end (i guess the cockpit) was bulbous shaped and the back end was shaped like that of a jet (like where the air would come out). I guess it was shaped like a jet but severely squished. It had two white lights (like car headlights, but the y didn't shine outward, they just lit up) on each side of the cockpit.
It had a band of read light that went across the middle with a small! red light on each side and the light appeared to move back and forth across that area. The craft was dark in color. You could have drawn a parallelogram around the outside of it, if you had to place it in a tangible shape category.
It just stayed in the air, no sound, above me. I really thought somebody has got to be playing a joke, perhaps so. There was a car coming and it was late so I started to drive.
I watched in my rear view until I couldn't see it anymore. Just before it went out of view it began to move to my left back towards the wooded area. I called my husband and he told me to go get a picture (a decision I regret not making immediately now).
So I turned down the back roads. I believe I saw it again, moving really slow, staying at the same altitude, across a horse pasture (it was too far to get a picture with my phone). It looked like it was just exploring or observing.
I don't know. Then it was gone. I got home immediately and tried to find a drawing or image of the shape I saw.
I couldn't find any drones or plane s that resembled it. I drew a sketch, but now I just feel crazy and really stupid for not immediately taking a picture while it was perfectly outlined above me.

White balls of light in backyard Mother and I were in backyard, bagging up raked leaves, when we both noticed 3 spherical white lights (about the size of a fifty cent piece each) floating slowly around and above our heads.
Full Report Text:
Balls of light appearing in sky, seemingly interacting with larger light. While looking at a very large and bright object toward the West of town, we noticed that the object would frequently change shape, move, and occasionally dim/disappear. Around this same object, were a approximately 4 small balls of light that seemed to communicate with each other, along with being in a zig-zag formation.
Over our home during this same period of time, we witnessed 2 similar balls of light travelling horizontally in sequence seemingly connected by a dark beam; when pointed out by an individual, the beam disappeared causing the balls of light to disconnect but were still travelling in the same path. Each night afterwards, similar occurrences and activities have appeared near or around our home, day or night----as if they are watching us. Taunting us with what we know and cannot prove to others.
Whether or not we can see the smaller balls of light, the larger object appears nightly at approx. the same time (7pm) and leaves approx. the same time (8:15-8:30pm).

3 cone shaped objects in backyard Whilst outside painting the house with my granddaughter, my granddaughter alerted me to some strange objects floating in the sky. I proceeded to look in the direction she was pointing and noticed 3 shuttlecock-shaped objects floating slowly through the air above tall bushes in our yard. They were gold in color with no sound coming from them.
We immediately contacted other family members to describe what we saw. Before any other family members were able to come home, the objects disappeared into thin air. We have not seen those particular objects since but, have seen much more mysterious activity in the following days.

Disk oval shaped with light coming down fast and disappearing in mid air!! So I am sitting out on my balcony smoking. I see something coming down out my the corner of my eye. First thought that it was a place but it was coming down to fast and I looked up and saw this light with a disk oval shape and I concentrated so hard to notice the shape looked like something in back was black with light in the front.
It came down with a slant and then out of no where it disappeared in mid air!!! Something scary as hell. My brother saw the same thing the night before.this has changed my whole view on life!! ((NUFORC Note: Witness corrected the date to Wednesday morning, March 30, 2016.

Red and white lights saw in the sky and attempted communication. I was out tonight looking for Saturn's because it was still at opposition. I had my telescope out looking for Saturn.
I had my dog out and my mother came out to help me look, as I did not know where to look (and still don't) for saturn. I was casually looking to the Southeast from my houses perspective and mine. I had noticed a fast, bright red light flying across the sky going at a incredibly fast speed.
It then disappeared from my view. I then observed a 2nd ship (or possibly the same one, I'm not entirely sure.) with white lights flying the same speed as the first one.
However, this one had a white light instead of a red one and it flew in a different direction. This one flew in the flight path of the Red one, going through the flight path at the side, instead of straight like the Red one or when it had it's red light on. The white one or different crafts (since I'm not entirely sure, I cannot rule out the possibility of there being more then one.
) danced around in the sky, seeming to do impossible movements that any known aircraft to my knowledge could do. My mother tried to signal it with a Android Smartphone light. The craft responded by blinking its light once again.

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.

Metallic sphere pauses and becomes transparent after being spotted At about 2:00pm on November 19th, I was walking up my driveway to the mailbox when something caught my eye. Above the tree line to the south, a metallic silver sphere was moving at a constant speed eastward. I continued watching the object, walking backwards, as I ascended uphill to gain a better view.
When I got to the top of the driveway, it continued as it had for a moment. then, paused for a view seconds in one place. When it started back up, the speed was the same as it had been, but it became more and more transparent! It wasn't moving further way, it was still appearing to be the same size.
It eventually disappeared. The whole sighting lasted about 50-60 seconds. I cannot figure out what it was- it was perfectly round and very fast so it couldn't be a plane.
No audible noise or vibrations accompanied it- everything was quiet and calm during this time.

slow moving Triangle made no noise Had gone out to check the mail and while at the mail box noticed lights above. Six white lights on the bottom of triangular shaped craft. The lights formed a triangle inside a triangle.
It was extremely low and moved very slow. It made no noise at all and just floated beyond the tree line.

Huge, gun metal black triangular with 3 white lights and blinking colored lights hovering, no sound. I was coming home from the store and had reached a red light at the intersection for the mall entrance. There were no other cars around which was strange in itself.
I glanced to the right and did a double take because what I saw was unbelievable and it shook me up so much that I forgot I had my cell phone with me. The craft, that's all I know to call it, was huge! Black and triangular in shape, 3 large white lights and smaller blinking lights connecting them. It was hovering about 100 or so feet above the tree line.
Just sitting there, no sound at all. It was more dull kind of like a gun metal black color and believe me… HUGE! I watched it until the light changed and tried to keep it in sight until I could get home to get my camera. I could see it well until I turned into my drive when the tree line covered it I thought.
I caught one last glimpse of it as I approached my house. I got out of my car and ran in the house thinking I may be able to see it from t! he 2nd story window but when I looked out the window it was no where to be seen. I got back into my car with my camera and headed back to the site but it was no longer there.
I will never forget this because even though I've sited ufos before, I've never seen on of this size nor up that close and personal! Amazing! I checked several sites on the web, the newspaper, the radio but so far nobody else has reported seeing it except that apparently, there were other siting all around other towns in NC.

Huge Hoovering Triangle of Lights in High Point, NC!!! Me and my fiance were driving along Eastchester Blvd. in High Point, NC when saw a huge horizontal line of white lights approx. 1/2 mile wide hoovering in mid-air.
It hid and revealed itself in the distance while somehow flipping flatly into a triangular shape and it had white round lights all over! It seemed to just float/glide, and would move very quick across the sky. We followed it for about 3 miles, and when we stopped in some undeveloped housing area, we caught a very clear view of it hoovering over an empty field. There was also a plane that was moving at a very fast speed chasing the object.
But as it got closer to it, the triangle would move out of the way very quickly. We then heard a very strange noise and as we turned our radio down, it sounded like a high-pitched hum. That's when we said OH S*** and almost wrecked our car turning around and getting the heck outta there.
We didn't have a decent camera with us to get any evidence as we wer! e just leaving a nearby restaurant. We tried taking pictures with our camera phones, but because of the darkness and cheap 2 megapixel camera, we couldn't see the thing clearly.

Odd flying thing showed up in photo. At about 1800 hours on 7/14 i was making a photo checking the camera for a photo shoot when i got home and down loaded the photos i saw some thing in the photo. As i made it bigger i saw a odd shaped thing in the air near a powder pole.
It has the shape kind of a disk or some thing like that, not really sure. The photo was 12mp but can not be made big enough to tell much other, than that some thing odd is in the photo.
Full Report Text:
7 bright orange glowing lights in a steady formation going NW. My husband and I came home after picking up groceries late that night. As we were getting everything out of the car I noticed seven large low bright orange glowing balls flying in a uniform formation.
There were three in a line, side by side with three in a line with one light below them in a triangle shape. It may have been separate objects or lights on one very large circular or oval shaped object--- it reminded us a lot of the phoenix lights- just glowing orange. There was no sound or "jet trails".
They looked similar to paper glowing air lanterns-- but I do not believe they were because the wind was blowing in the opposite direction, and the objects kept their shape and stayed true. They were moving in a northwestern direction, traveling at a speed similar to geese flying. I can't believe someone else saw this too I blogged about it and received no response.
I saw something similar on another post on this reporting sight for the same day, and now I know that others saw, and I want to confirm what we saw was very similar. This is our first unidentified object that I have absolutely no explanation for. ((NUFORC Note: Source of report indicates that the time of the sighting is approximate.
PD)).
