Loud heavy metal object Was sitting in the living room when we heard what we though as first as a airplane, then we realized the sound wasn’t moving but getting closer and heavier. It sounded like a very heavy metal object, we stepped outside for a look but we couldn’t see anything. It lasted for about 2 1/2 minutes.

You could see heavy vibration waves in the air. Then it took off but you still couldn’t see a object but you could hear it in the distance as it left.

Hexagon shap object connected to bright star moving and disappearing in air. I was sitting and looking in the sky, and noticed more stars than usual. Friends said that since the planet moves, the stars rotate, so they move every night, but these stars don't.

They are brighter than other stars, and one night I saw one move. It was zig zagging across the sky and I know for sure it wasn't a plane or helicopter because they don't move the way this object did it moved back and forth for like 10 min then I kept watching it alone and I saw the light was attached to something big and it moved and disappeared in the darkness but the star it was attached to is still visable. Also today my brother seen something flying over a neighbors house and it was the scariest thing he has ever seen.

At first I thought it was only me but know other people are noticing this stuff too I wish we had a good telescope to see what these stars are. I didn't call the hotline because I don't really think this people actually take this stuff serious but if anyone does please feel free to contact me or visit my neighborhood so we can watch together. I'm almost sure you will notice something weird.

And just so you guys know its not a satellite or weather balloon ive looked up all options and none make sense. Weather balloons don't flash colors in the sky do they? The colors where white, red, blue, and green. I don't know what my brother saw but this kind of stuff interest me and I would really like to know what these stars are in the sky and what are the things we see flying around.

Also lately alot of shooting stars have been around my area. Weird because I've never seen them happen so often. And it happens so fast you don't have time to record or you wouldn't be able to recognize anything from a regular phone camera because its so high in the sky.

If you don't believe me oh well, but I would waste my time filling out this stuff if I didn't want to get some logical answers about what me and my friends are seeing.

Small silvery round object fades away from sight in seconds. I was on my way to work at the stop light in front of NC Wesleyan College and near McDonalds. The small silvery or white round object in the sky in front of me caught my eye.

It did not move and just faded away while I was sitting at the red light. It was not a plane or anything that looked normal. ((NUFORC Note: Witness provides no contact information.

PD)).

four orange light formation moving slowly across the sky in eastern north carolina. I saw four Orange lights in a half circle formation slow moving across the sky. I could not tell if it was four independent objects or one extremely large one.

If it was one object it would be huge. I was in the car so I couldn't tell if there was any noise with the formation. When I pulled the car over the lights had all disappeared.

Strange events in suburbia. On Thursday night Mar 20 2008 in the town of Rocky Mount N.C.

,somewhere between 9:30 and 10:30 I saw what appeared to be two silver football shaped objects flying slowly above myself, my wife and my best friend. They were about a quarter of the size of the moon. I saw them first and yelled to my buddy to look up.

My wife walked out side to see what we we're talking about. Seeing this we continued to watch as it floated over us took a left merged into one solid object (NOT A LIGHT) and the made an immediate right and disappeared. The Past two nights 11 cars and 2 apartments have been broken into as well.

Including my car. With the cars right beside bedroom windows with multiple dogs in most of the houses. No one hearing a sound.

The Cops say that the criminals by pass wallets and electronic goodies such as cameras and cds player cds and dvds. Instead grabbing junk food and shiny objects.

Witnessed a bright stationary object seen next to passing jet travelling at cruise altitude. I witnessed a bright stationary object next to passing jet travelling in a south west direction at cruise altitude. Clear blue skies were present.

I was outside my office and I looked up at a passing commercial jet. As the jet passed over, it flew by a stationary bright (white in color) object, I could not tell the actual size or altitude of the object. Based on my observation it appeared to be slightly larger than the jet with no wings.

It did not have a well defined shape, but it was close to rectangular with lumps on each side. It was sort of blurry with no sharp edges. I don't think it was the same altitude of the jet because the passing aircraft did not alter course.

The object could have been above or below the aircraft. The distance between the jet and object was about the width of a pencil held at arms length. At first glance I thought maybe it was a clump of balloons; however when I took out my cell phone camera to snap a picture and looked back u! p, the object had vanished.

I knew where to look because the aircraft contrail was still present. I searched for it for another 5 minutes, but could not locate. I wish I had kept my eyes on it.

Note: This event occurred in January 2008 and had made note of immediately afterward. I’m just now reporting because I wasn’t aware of this site. Also, I'm a retired USAF SNCO (1981-2001) and very familiar with all types of aircraft.

Huge combination of shapes, lit up with individual white, bright light About 4:10 am I had gone outside with my black lab to use the bathroom. I have a deep back yard with lots of trees. As I was standing at the foot of my deck, I saw what I first thought was a very large, oversized plane with every light that they had on it and in it turned on.

I saw it come over the tree tops at the very back of the lot and it slowly kept coming, passed to the side of my house and then I did not see it.they were not a streak of light, no color, it just looked like a pallet full of light, though not square.not oblong not round but a combination of these shapes.

Still believing it was a plane, I tried to see the red/green/blinking lights on a wing but I DID NOT see a wing and I saw no color. The ligts were more individual than a blur. While dressing for work around 6:30 am I saw on CNN news about sitings from the evening before, around 8:00 PM.

They were talking about "blue, yellow white, lights" flashes, etc. What I saw was very large and ver lit up. It moved slowly, not as fast as an airplane.

I did not see anything hanging down nor did it make erratic movements.it was just there. I said, out loud, "Gosh, that looks like a floating city in the sky" not because of buildings or shape but because it was large and lit up.

((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) This is the same report I just sent.I misspelled NASH County ((END)).

Rocky Mount, North Carolina car enveloped by an intense, transient green flash during Hurricane Isabel. My daughter and I were driving in my car headed east on English Road just about 200 meters from Winstead Ave. as we experienced a strange phenomenon.

My daughter is a very rational and academically gifted 16 year old high school student. I am a physician. I have been in practice for 20 years since completion of training.

I also have a strong background in abstract and applied mathematics and physics and I have actively maintained and advanced my scientific side. Rocky Mount was engaged by Hurricane Isabel at that time as we had ventured out on the road. Suddenly, a low frequency, low intensity hum vibrated the car and though I ducked my head down reflexively, an intense but very transient flash of green light enveloped the car.

My daughter asked, "What was that?" I suggested it was possibly ball lightening but I am not sure. There was moderate rain and wind at the moment and the road condition was wet but not flooded. The sky was overcast with a thick, dark gray and relatively low blanket of rain clouds as one would expect of a hurricane.

However, I had neither seen lightening nor heard thunder during the entire day. Later as I returned home, I looked carefully at all the wires and poles in that area. There were no transformers to be seen and the wires all looked unremarkably intact.

The area where this occurred is developed on one side with office buildings and has woods and high grass on the other for a space extending about 1/3 of a mile to I-64. In a cursory search, I saw nothing in the area to suggest a meteor had fallen. I did not see any evidence of aircraft in the area.

Furthermore, it would have been extremently hazardous for aircraft of any sort to fly through Hurricane Isabel. There was no damage to the car whatsoever. I still am lacking for an explanation as to what we experienced.

The light in the sky I was working outside. Im in law enforcment and this is kinda odd. Any way i was outside just looking up taking a break cause i heard that on this night was sopposed to be some kinda planetary alignment well i looked straight up and saw two bright lights i assumed where plants.

After about a minute i thought i was getting dizzy because they appeared to be moving like rotating one around the other so i looked down to make sure i wasnt seeing things. When i looked back up the one light moved away from the other slowly and it slowly got faint till it dissapeared like it was rising. The thing that is weird is there was no flashing lights no colors just a constant white light.

sorry to bother you just figured i would tell someone i feel kinda odd. Thanks for being here.

2:30 2000 feb. Rocky Mount N.C.

Space Traverlers Object came throgh a circle in space then emitting smaller objects . I am a truck driver and was heading east on route 97 heading toward Rocky Mount N.C.

It was clear and a million stars were out when I happen to glance up through my windshield to see what seemed to be flickering sparkles of fire, the kind you see flooting down after a firework goes off! This went on for about 15seconds and behind the flickering I saw a perfect circle of gray so I pulled to the side of the road! NO TRAFFIC was coming as it was a country road and late! I stepped out on my running board to get a better look. I know the gray hole in space was there because it blocked the view of the stars that were just there! When the hole dissappeared an object, completely black began moving notheast at a slow speed not making a sound or non that I could hear. Once again I know it was there because it black out the stars as it moved only to see them reappear as it moved forward! Size was hard to tell but it seemed big with no lights and distance was hard to judge because of night.

Then after about a minute 12 objects seemed to come from the object at fast speeds.They were or seemed to be just balls of light that race out in all directions from the craft! I stood amazed as I watched these objects do fast sprints away and back to the object! They could stop on a dime and excellerate to high speeds in as instant! Some would circle the craft as I could see then go behind the craft only to re appear on the other side ! I will never forget it as Long as I live!The big craft just moved slowly toward the northeast with the smaller crafts manuvering back and forth around the craft! this went on for at least 20 mins and I could still see the stars blackening out and re appearing as I stepped back into my truck and drove on to our yard! I should have written to you before now but I know what I saw! I listen to coast to coast and have an open mind!I was just setting here at home watching about oufo coverups on scifi network and felt compelled to write you! I know because of the time factor involved theres not much you can do with my account But i know what I saw was real ! I believe that space travel can be achieved by bending space or worm holes like the one I think I saw that night !Thank you for your time! Firmly a believer since that night. Just wanted to finally tell someone! ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate.

PD)).

Birght, yellowish-orange, cigar shaped object over Sunset Ave./ Business 64 exit in Rocky mount, NC. My experience happened in 1999.

October or November of 1999 to be exact. I never reported it before because I never really told anyone about it before. I thought people would think I was crazy for claiming I saw a UFO.

To this day, even though I saw one, and I know what I saw, I don't believe anyone when they say they've seen one. That being said, here is my experience. I was living in Raleigh, North Carolina.

My job was in Rocky Mount, North Carolina NE of Raleigh. This night I was driving to Rocky Mount to stay at my parents house because I had to wake up really early the next morning. Since I was going to be in town a friend and I decided to get some dinner.

I was driving to the restaurant on highway 64 going east. I had just passed the Nashville exit when I saw a long, thin yellowish-orange light just above the tree line. It was insanely bright and perfectly still in the air.

It looked to be about three or four football fields long. Maybe even longer. I seemed to be about 10 miles from it so I knew this thing was huge.

I watched it as I drove down the highway occasionally losing it behind some trees as the highway curved. The whole I was watching this thing and driving, I ran down a list of things it could possibly be. The list included a blimp, which it couldn't have been because it was too big and perfectly still, it wasn't the hospital that I was going to be passing because it was to high in the air and the hospital is the tallest building in Rocky Mount but not that tall, and I was absolutely certain it wasn't a plane.

It was to big, to bright, and motionless. The last time I lost it behind some trees was the last time I saw it. I must have had my view of it blocked for 10 or 15 seconds maximum, but when the part of the sky it was in came into view again it was gone.

I would have seen it fly away but didn't. In a matter of seconds I was under where it was floating on a clear sky so I would have seen it if it was still there but turned the lights off. I pulled over at the exit, again, pretty much right underneath where it was.

I was looking up and noticed to small, fast moving planes flying in from the SE. These were obviously fighter jets flying in formation from, I am assuming, Cherry Point, which is an Air Force base SE of Rocky Mount. The two jets circled, in formation, pretty much in the same spot the object was and flew away, back toward the SE.

I rolled my window up, put the car in gear, went to dinner and haven't spoken much of it since.

I thought I saw a parachute or a balloon coming down from a heavy bank of clouds, then saw it zig-zag falling-leaf fashion. I was stopped at a red light on Falls Rd. heading west.

To my right I looked up at the clouds North, hoping for rain, among a lot of light lines I thought I was seeing a white balloon tangled on the lines, but when the red light changed to green I moved slowly and got a better view. I realized the object was coming out of the clouds downward, in a zig-zag, falling leaf fashion, then thinking I was seeing a parachute coming down, I stopped to get a better view and looked for the lines and person but there was only this round white object about the size of a dime held at arm's length. It appeared to be landing.

As I drove on the trees and houses on the street obstructed my view of it.

I was fishing in Stoney creeck about 10:45 pm. I looked up and I saw somehting aproaching me at pretty fast rate of speed, I would say it was atleast 100 feet away from me and 200 feet in the sky. There wasent a cloud in the sky so I could see pretty clearly.

The craft I saw had a yellowish green glowing tent to it and it made no sound, then the craft started to drift back slowly and then it shot of into the sky at a very high rate of speed. I was fishing at Stony creeck about 45 pm when I saw an object aproaching me at a very fast fast rate of speed. There was not a cloud in the sky so I could see pretty clearly wat the object was and I was sure that it was nothing that I had ever seen before in my life.

The object had yelloish green tint and it had changing lights on the base of the craft. When it aproached me and came to a complete stop. It just huvered in the same place for about 30 seconds, and shot of into the sky verry quickly.

The object was shaped like a saucer. That was the first and the last time I went fishing in that spot late at night, even though I hevent seen the craft again.

On that evening I was working as a patrol officer for the Rocky Mount Police Department. Between calls for service I was standing with 3 other officers and happened to look up and observed a large triangular shaped craft. Few details could be seen but it was a clear night and the star field was noticeably broken up by the craft.

I could get a sense that it was very large(maybe 150ft+ on each of the triangle sides) It appeared to be at a low altitude, perhaps 2000-3000 ft. There were no lights emitted by the craft. We tried to light it up with flash light but the craft was too far to see any apparent reflection.

The craft was moving very slowly (15-20mph) traveling from ESE to WNW heading from Jacksonville, NC. The craft made no noise. We contacted the local airport and they reported no radar contact.

After 10-25 minutes we received a call for service from the local hospital. Staff there had observed the craft and were inquiring about it. We attempted to make! contact with it again but were unable to locate it.

I had served 10 years in the Marines stationed on airbases and as a hobby painted pictures of military equipment including aircraft. I had a good working knowledge of the state of military and civilian aviation at the time. I in no way recognized the craft observed that night.

A FLYING OBJECT BURNED TOP OF TREES IN ROCKY MOUNT, NC. 1969 I WAS ALMOST 10 YEARS OLD. I WAS STANDING IN FRONT OF GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE ON BERVERLY ROAD.

MY BROTHER AND TWO BOYS ACROSS STREET WERE PLAYING. I SAW WHAT LOOKED LIKE A POSSIBLE FIRE ON OTHER STREET. THERE WAS A BRIGHT RED GLOW IN SKY.

I CALLED MY BROTHER AND FRIENDS OVER. I SAID LOOK A FIRE. THEY CAME OVER AND REMARKED HOW CLOSE THE FIRE SEEMED TO BE.

I SAID LOOKS LIKE IT IS GETTING CLOSER. AS I WATCHED,I STARTED TO SEE SOMETHING IN SKY MOVING. IT WAS A HUGE RED BALL JUST ABOVE THE TREES.

AS IT GOT CLOSER I COULD SEE THAT THE BOTTOM WAS TOUCHING THE TOP OF THE TALLEST PINE TREES. IT EVEN KNOCKED SOME OF THE UPPER LIMBS OUT OF MY GRANDMOTHER'S TREES. BEFORE THIS EVENING ALL THE TREES WERE BRIGHT GREEN EVEN IN THE TOPS ON OUR BLOCK.

THE HOMES ON AVERAGE, WERE 1500 SQ.FT. RANCH STYLE HOMES.

FRONT YARD WAS ABOUT 60-70 FT. WIDE AND 50FT. FROM HOUSE TO STREET.

OTHER YARDS AND HOMES WERE OF EQUAL SIZE. THE OBJECT HAD AN OVER ALL WIDTH OF 3 TO 4 HOMES AND YARDS. I SAID OUT LOUD, THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE.

AND LOOKED AT MY BROTHER. I SAW HIM AND FRIENDS LYING ON GROUND OUT COLD. I COULD FEEL EXTREME HEAT COMING FROM OBJECT.

IT MOVED ACROSS STREET OVER OUR HOUSE. I LIVED WITH GRAND MOTHER. AND ON OVER HOMES BEHIND OURS.

I WOULD SAY IT MOVED AT ABOUT 1 TO 2 MILES AN HOUR. AFTER IT WAS GONE, I WOKE THE OTHER BOYS UP. AND ASKED THEM WHY THEY WENT TO SLEEP.

THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REMEMBER ANYTHING EXCEPT RED GLOW IN SKY. I TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED, THEY JUST LAUGHED. I THOUHT EVERYONE ELSE WOULD TOO, SO I DID NOT TELL ANY ONE ELSE.

MY GRANDMOTHER DID ASK WHY WE HAD SUNBURNS. BECAUSE, SHE DID NOT NOTICE THEM AT DINNER. WE DID NOT ANSWER HER.

THE NEXT DAY I SAW THE TOPS OF ALL THE TREES THAT WERE NEAR THE OBJECT. WERE VERY BROWN AND SCORCHED LOOKING. I EVEN FOUND LIMBS & PINE CONES IN YARD.

THAT HAD BEEN BURNED BLACK AND CHARRED LOOKING. EVER SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN VERY RESTLESS, AND HAVE HAD TROUBLE SLEEPING. I KNOW I AM NOT STUPID, BECAUSE I HAVE SERVED WITH THE CIA AND NAVAL INTELLIGENCE SINCE THEN.

I ALSO SCORED 125 ON MY MILITARY ENTRANCE EXAM (ASVAB TEST). INCIDENT OCCURED 2145 07/27/69. ROCKY MOUNT,NC.
