My brother and I saw a large reddish-white light over the lake. It increased in brightness and then shot off to the east extremely fast My brother and I were preparing to drive into Durham, which is about 100 miles from my house. We noticed a large extremely bright white light out over the lake.
As we looked at it and wondered what it was it began to get brighter and brighter as it turned to a reddish-white color. It then sped off to te east at an extremely fast speed and was gone.

Glowing white and orange orbs follow me every night Firstly this isn't the first time I've been seeing this. It's a recurring event that I have accepted and now it's a regular part of my everyday life. Everyday right before the sun goes down I'm greeted usually with 1 coming into view then another but that's just the beginning.
I have a total of at least a hundred upwards of over 200 that follow me everywhere I go. It sounds crazy I hate explaining it cause almost everyone thinks I'm delusional but I can see perfectly I have brilliant vision and depth perception. They are just over the trees at their highest and below the tree tops at their lowest.
Just a few days ago I was watching ufo or uap videos on YouTube and saw the Albuquerque video of the white orbs in formation and then the orange one. Same exact white orbs that follow me also with the orange one. They appear in formation and they mimic the constellation.
I have been greeted by the big dipper just right above when turning on my road when I'm pulling in at home. It sounds insane but this has been going on since early May. Up until I saw that video in NM I thought they were drones but I started to realize that's not the case and there's other things that's happened that I'm not gonna explain that support the uap theory and dismantle this drone hype that some are trying to convince is the majority of these sightings.
I found an article about this lady who can communicate with different beings and I tried this and got a reaction. I failed to hear or receive or understand and communication but I did get 2 of them to descend below the trees at my house and the other was last night behind food Lion with the bigger orange colored orb, it also changed from orange to white back to orange then to red then back to orange. The first one at home I got to descend from what I could tell definitely wasn't a drone.
Seen no propellers nor heard any. There was however a tiny glowing red dot or orb that aimlessly danced or orbited this thing with no recognizable pattern or destination. I'm hoping to discover the reason as to why I was chosen to be followed or watched by these things.
They stay up until right before the sunrises and it doesn't matter where I go or how fast I go they have absolutely no difficulty finding or keeping up with me. If anyone can help or has experienced similar events like I've described please post so I can check back and read your experiences.

Dancing Orb's in sky, seemed like playing, at times following a pattern but other times randomly darting back and forth the light's were round they seemed like a beam of light not bright kind of what an airport beacon would be but no beam went up from the ground or came down from above. They would dance around not following a certain pattern. Then they would change 4 would meet and touch in the middle then sort of bounce back,and do that over and over.
It seemed like they were playing. The next night Sunday evening they were back but not in the same area, further away but followed the same routine. 4 from our family and 3 from another family all seen the same thing.
1 was a Veteran and said he never seen anything like that. Still trying to figure this out. Our dogs did not react to this.
((NUFORC Note: Advertising spotlights?? PD)).

Hovering Light Over NC I have seen a UFO before, but never one that moved like this one did. Around 11:00 PM, I was outside. The night was clear, almost electric.
I could see stars twinkle, and then from the south, I noticed something moving, with no blinking lights. It appeared almost to be on “autopilot “. It moved slowly enough that I could keep my eye trained on it until it went past the tree line in the distance to the north east.
No sound whatsoever. It did, however, appear to emit a spotlight of sorts? That’s the best way I can describe it. After I’d lost sight of it, I noticed what were clearly man made aircraft traveling in the direction of the unknown craft; one man made craft on either side of the unknown craft.
Whatever it was, was in no hurry to get anywhere and was not afraid to be conspicuous. It flew low enough that I could see a solid, white or yellow light on the belly of the craft. Almost like a submarine, only flying.
All I know is that it was an unidentifiable flying aircraft to me. I know it was something that other people have seen, as well.

Glowing circular object with dark blue ring falling from the sky Driving on I-85 North my husband and I saw a glowing blue circular object fall from the sky. Not a shooting start. I have seen one of those.
Hard to explain, of course, but it was glowing similar to the moon. It had a bluish white center with a pretty darker blue ring. Seemed to fall in a circular motion (like something being thrown) rather than straight out of the sky.
Full Report Text:
The object appeared to plummet out of the sky as a light blue light of some sort, and was lower than a plane would fly. I know this because I could see the edges of the craft. It had 3 bright lights located at each point of the triangle.
The object disappeared behind a cloud. Within five minutes, I saw two helicopters, and quite a few planes (way more than normal), head into the same direction the craft or object disappeared.

Heard a low flying loud helicopter, while standing outside at 11pm, both my husband and myself walked out to look and saw red blinking lights from a low flying helicopter and two white orbs in front of it like and escort. Did not see them when craft was approaching, only its red flashing lights, but as it went over the top and just past, I seen the two white orbs that looked equally spaced and almost uniform with the helicopter all where going slowly towards the east out of sight. Not exactly sure what it was just that it was strange.
May have been a drone. Not sure if military helicopters escort drones. ((NUFORC Note: We doubt that drones are often accompanied by helicopters.
PD)).

Black gliding air craft, blue and red light at the end of wings, flying low Object was flying very low, the only thing you could see about it however was blue and red lights that were on the ends of what are assumed to be wings. It was wasn't flying, so much as it was gliding. It was different then any aircraft I had ever seen.
It was also much quieter then any typical place, which also struck me as odd.

Very small dimly lit object the size of a tennis/ racquetball silently flies a few feet over my house in the night sky. I was sitting in my backyard on a small patio petting my dog when a very dimly light object about the size of a tennis ball/racquetball flew in a straight line just a few feet over my rooftop through the backyard out of site into the trees. The backyard is about a half acre deep to a fence line which adjoins to a cow pasture.
It is about 50 - 75 feet before the tree line begins in the cow pasture. Not a bird as it had no wings and was utterly silent. It did not lose any altitude and was so dimly lit that it disappeared as soon as it passed over.
It seemed to have a very fine, thin trail at least 25+ ft that also dissolved into thin air. Very eerie experience. I have never seen anything that substantial in size fly in such a straight pattern so quietly in the dark.

White flying object circling star, zipped off, chased by jets, then shot at jets. I was outside, when I noticed something moving up in the sky, I thought it was a plane, but when I looked up, it looked REALLY high up, looked like another star, and it was moving around another star, no blinking lights, after a few seconds, It zipped off, Next thing I know, at least 5 jets/planes were going straight in its direction, in less than 30 seconds, about 10-15 planes were flying around. I was just watching, when next thing I know, What looked like a shooting star came flying away from the direction the UFO came from, shot directly towards the planes/jets, The object seemed to appear out of nowhere, and then disappear out of nowhere, When the UFO Zipped off, from my perspective it looked to be going 100-150 MPH, and the object it shot seemed to be going twice that.
The UFO was Bluish/Whitish, and the object it shot was white.

Slow moving White lights moving from north to south. Referencing the following report: Occurred : 9/20/2009 22:45 (Entered as : 09/20/2009 22:45) Reported: 9/26/2009 4:42:31 PM 16:42 Posted: 12/12/2009 Location: Lexington, NC Shape: Circle Duration:2 hours + [Narrative excluded] As a resident of Lexington, NC I have often seen similar objects that appear quite stationary in the sky, and then move . in a specific direction .
Northeast to Southwest or reverse. Depending upon atmospheric conditions the light may appear bright white or blue . again also depending upon the aircraft.
There is also a famous Vineyard in the area and the owner employs a Lear Jet in his travels - often flying low. No noise is heard until the aircraft is close or passes overhead. The local airport is nearby and low approach speed maintains an optical illusion of a non-moving object when approaching HEAD ON to the viewer.
Lexington also falls under a main sky route hub between Greensboro/Winston-Salem and Charlotte and it is not unusual for heavy air traffic . the planes often employ landing strobes . but the actual ONCOMING path makes it appear stationary until they get overhead and then one can see the FAA required aircraft lights (i.
e. green/red . varied blinking lights, wing lights, etc.
) . Many others have seen similar objects and mistook them for . Unidentified, until that typical jet noise "catches up".
I am not sure if this applies to the above situation, but may be a possible explanation. This evening I have seen many . heavy air traffic .
some small aircraft . strobes are flashed when they are approximate to each other. TWO in particular were unusual and did NOT follow the normal flight route; however I had assumed that they were the result of heavy inbound/outbound air traffic (Holiday) and may have been put on a "holding" pattern.
The night was very clear, the aircraft did NOT make noise, but assumed (again) the sound would follow. It didn't; however the movement was consistent with usual flight speed with no deviations from a straight course, nor any change in speed. Both objects moved from NORTH to SOUTH, EACH about ten minutes apart - EACH taking about ten minutes to cross.
The ONLY thing unusual were that there were NO FAA lights . just a solid white light. Note: Many dogs in the area were howling during this .
particular sighting. Nothing follows, nor is follow-up necessary. Reported FYI only.

I thought it was a star until it moved quickly northward. I was looking out my bathroom window Sunday night about 10:45 pm and noticed a brightly twinkling "star" in the sky, it turned a bluish color and suddenly moved northward then returned to original position and then started moving slightly downward toward earth and then back to original position. I was mezmarized and continued to watch for another 20 min or so, it began to slowly move south with circular patterns.
I stopped watching for about an hour and then returned to the window, it had moved much more southward but about the same height in the sky. Whatever it was it was not a plane or helicopter, it could stay stationary for minutes then move quickly up down, and around, The light was very bright and was mostly bluish but occationally yellow. It didn't seem to be in a hurry like it was just "there" moving around.
I stopped watching about 12:30-1am and it was still out there moving around in the sky. I'm in my 50's and have never seen anything quite like this, made me feel very uneasy.

STATIONARY FLASHING LIGHT We were star gazing on the evening of Saturday April 1, 2006 when it dawned on us that there was a flash of light located south of the constellation Leo that was about the size of a typical star. The flash of light had a frequency of between 15 to 30 seconds and appeared to be the same color of a strobe light. It varied in magnitude from bright (like that of a magnitude -1 star) to dim (like that a magnitude +3 or higher star) and was generally stationary, displaying occaisional slight varience from time to time.
We observed this phenomenon for close to 25 minutes. Although we were using both a pair of binoculars and a telescope in our stargazing, we could only sight the object in the pair of binoculars. ((NUFORC Note: Over recent years, we have received a number of reports that are similar to this one.
We have no idea what the cause of the light.

Yellow fireball object, viewed from lexinton, NC I was on my way to pick up my son from karate class and while driving I was on the phone talking to my mother. All of a sudden I saw a fireball in the sky It appear going the same direction I was going and I thought a meteorite but as soon as I finishe my thought it stopped.I started to scream on the phone to my mom I have to stop (several times), I stopped and it went down to the left it disappear from my sight (there were trees)for a a second or two.
I was static. and I saw it again coming up to the same point in the sky where it had stopped. It was big I put my fist against the fireball shape and I still could see the edges of it; It started moving to the right in a downward direction.
same thing happened it disappear from my sight (there were trees) for a a second or two. This time it appeared moving horizontally from right to left and that was it I did not see it again. I waited about 20 minutes just in case but I had to leave and pick up my son (needles to say I was late picking him up).
I must have put the Mobile phone down because when I pick it up from the passenger seat my mom was so worried she thought I was in some kind of danger. She said I was saying " oh my god! oh my god!. what the heck is that?.
it is here again.where is it going? what is it doing? why is my body tingling (like electricity) I felt like that for a couple of hours (It must have been my adrenaline). I could not appreciate how far it was from my position because it was dark.
I think probably a mile or 2.

Night siting of a black trangle The date I have given for the actual siting is approximate simply because it was so long ago, but the time is accurate. It was early sping and I remember this because the trees were just starting to bud and the nights were finally begining to warm up. My cousin and I were doing what we usually did at 15 on a weekend night by riding our bikes to the next street off of Main street to sit by the railroad tracks to watch the frieght trains go by.
It was a cloudless night with no wind. We were sitting on a concrete foundation connected to a warehouse just off the road about 60 or 70 feet from the railroad crossing watching cars slowly go across the double rail lines. We were hoping for a slow moving train to come by so we could throw rocks at the rail cars and see the sparks fly.
That happened a time or two and we found ourselves sitting there as it got later looking at the sky. We were talking and I noticed in the sothwest a blinking out of stars as I gazed at the sky. I didn't think anything about it at first because I was looking at the sky through a tree in the distance.
I just thought the limbs of the tree might be moving because of a slight breeze that I could not feel from where I was sitting. A few more minutes passed as I watched the "blinking out" continue above the tree. Then I realized something was strange and I asked my cousin if he could see it.
I had to point in the direction and he saw what I was talking about. We just watched as it approached about 30 degrees above the horizon and that was when we realized it was a moving solid object. It had no lights at all and actually was darker than the moonless sky.
I remember saying to my cousin at that point, "what is that"? He said "I don't know". It was almost overhead by now and was being underlit to some extent by the lights on Main street. It was a perfect triangle and looked to be fairly low in altitude.
Maybe 600 to 800 hundred feet and about about 3 inches between the forefinger and thumb at arms lenght. I ran out to the rai! lroad tracks to get a look at it as it passed over the two story warehouse and I lost it in the city lights. At that point I don't remember us saying a word but we both jumped on our bikes and sped to my parent's house about a 1/4 mile away where my cousin spent the night.
There was no noise and the speed of the object was constant, very slow and linear. ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. PD)).

My Aunt, Uncle, and myself witnessed an oval UFO while traveling in Uncles car. I was a passenger in my aunt and uncle's car and we were either driving to or returning from (I thougnt we were going out to eat and aunt says we were on our way back from) Winston Salem NC, where we were going out to eat. We were on old Winston Rd.
when my uncle slowed the car down, this got my attention. There were several cars in front of ours that was also stopped. Directly in front of us and located above the trees was this hugh UFO.
It was metal in color. It had round windows all around the craft with light coming out of it, several colors. It was silent.
It defied physics in that it stayed perfectly still, as it set in the air just above the trees, centered over the two lane road we were on. In moments, it lifted up and dissapeared from our eyes in phenominal speed, again, no noise. The traffic then began to move on out.
