I looked up and saw a strange orb I was on my back porch and I looked up at the sky and at first glanced it looked like a fire in the sky but as I focused it was a an orange/ reddish orb. The light wasn’t blinking. It looked as if the light was “falling” but then it stopped hovered and then flew away.

It was very strange and very brief. The most amazing part is I actually got it on camera! I was really surprised my phone camera picked up that light. Also, one of the boxes below says to check if it has lights but it appeared to be one big light like an orb.

There was no sound but it could have been too far away for me to hear? It was night time so I’m not sure how far away it was. I see that I can attach my video as well, please excuse my language I was excited and a little concerned at the same time.

Bright orangish to red lights or orbs moving left to right in the sky I was standing on my back porch facing East and what I first thought was a bright shooting star that got really bright but it moved unusually slow from left to right in the sky. The light faded and all of a sudden another light appeared where the first one started. The second, third, fourth, and fifth lights followed the same path, duration, brightness and fading.

I panicked to get family but the lights seemed to have moved farther away and lower in the sky which made them hard to see with the faint clouds. About 10 minutes later we heard and saw a large helicopter flying west over our house. I have never seen anything like this and I love watching the sky at night with the planes, satellites, space station, meteors.

I feel kinda silly posting this but it was so unusual. NUFORC Note: Possibly Starlink.

The object appeared suddenly high in the SE sky. It was red-orange and extremely bright. It was a steady light which seemed to get larger and brighter the longer we looked at it, but it did not flicker or pulse.

Then it seemed like it was turning; then disappeared, as if it had been turned off. The entire thing lasted about a minute.

Saw a large black craft floating sideways across the sky approximately 800-1000ft up. No lights and no sound from the craft, the sides were like a matte grey, and the middle was solid black. Never seen anything like this before in my life.

Strange bright light crosses road early one cold Winter morning Super bright blue light traversed across country road at approximately 60 feet above road. As I was driving, my vehicle completely shut off. Radio shut off, as well.

The entire incident took less than 1 minute, but once the light entered the wood line to the right of the road, it disappeared, or instantly was no longer visible. The height of the trees in entered were approximately 65 feet and were dense in number. The light had no sound and wasn't flashing or sparkling.

It was constant and extremely bright. As suddenly as it disappeared, my vehicle started up and the radio and headlights resumed. Nothing was reported in any local news and I am unaware of anyone else who witnessed this event.

Object(s) spotted in landscape photo This will be very brief. The object actually appeared in a landscape photo I took, so I didn't see it in person. I took two pictures from the same spot about five seconds apart.

The object is in the first photo, but not the second so I ruled dust on the lens. I enlarged it to see if it was behind the cloud and it appears to be, so I ruled out a bug flying close to the camera or a bird higher in the sky. In considering the object to be a plane it is at an odd angle for a plane unless it happened to be climbing in altitude, also it would have been in the second photo since it was taken so soon after the first.

After further look, I spotted what appears to be a second object higher and further back although it lacks adequate definition. The sun was to my right and still fairly high in the sky. Not much other info to give since I was only snapping a photo of the landscape and not really paying attention to anything else.

UFO Spotted In Statesville 9/01/13. I was driving in Statesville North on Turnersburg Hwy. I had just passed tractor supply when I noticed traffic was slowing down.

I looked around to see why, ie "Was there an accident?" About 1/2 mile up the road in the air above the field between the Captains Galley Seafood Restaraunt and an abandoned old run down building, there was something in the air. My windows were rolled down and I heard NO noise. I had taken my dog for a ride to the local fast food for a treat.

My windows were rolled down and he was crying anticipating good, however when we got to the Fort Dobbs hardware store (which is where traffic started slowing down), he immediately became completely and totally silent. There was just silence everywhere. In the air were two giant gold balls with seemed to emit a very strong glow.

That was all I could see. The balls were hovering about 30 feet in the air over the field. The balls floated in the air in that exact position for ar! ound four minutes.

The balls then started to spin around in a circular pattern starting slow but rapidly becoming faster until they became a blur. The craft then disappeared across the night sky traveling NE in a streaking, golden blur. I KNOW I am not the only one who saw this.

I am positive it wasn't because of any tower or anything like that. I even stuck my head out of my drivers side window to make sure what I was seeing was actually real. I listed it as only one witness because of myself, but there were in fact at least 10 other people who saw this craft as traffic essentially came to a standstill.

My friend and I saw a Triangular craft fly above her house. Me and my friend were outside b/c we were partying for her birthday and we looked up in the sky and we saw this awkward looking triangular figure in the sky above her house. We knew it wasn't a plane b/c it didn't fly like a plane and it was gone really quick.

It was Triangular with three white lights on each point and one red light in the middle and it was following interstate 40. very freaky.but totally awsome!.

Brightly lit, triangular craft flying closely over my home. Around 9:35 PM I heard what sounded somewhat like a helicopter flying extremely close to my home, I thought it was strange for it to be so low in the air. Out of curiosity i ran to my window, opened the blinds and to my surprise i did not see a helicopter overhead but a brightly lit, isosceles triangular shaped craft "floating" at about a speed of 15 mph directly above me.

The craft was not completely a full triangle, the base was cut out resembling an arrow or a chevron. The lights were vividly bright colors of blue and red, racing at a moderate speed around the full perimeter of craft. Standing there in amazement, I called for my mother and my younger brother, by the time they reached my room the craft was only approximately 100 yards away.

Together we watched it barely graze the tree line. I then got my camera and went outside, the craft returned several times. I have two recordings of the sighting one 45 seconds and the other 1 minute and 30 seconds.

It was very quite, and moved as if it was literally floating. The object appeared to be round in the sky, my conclusion is because the lights race around it giving it the illusion of a disc. After about 7 minutes the craft vanished.

Tri-colored light in eastern sky attracts attention of star gazer near midnight in Statesville, North Carolina. At approx. 11:35 p.

m., I stepped out to my front porch to smoke a cigarette. I'm always looking at the stars whenever they are visable.

I spotted a star that looked to be blinking. I watched it for about 3-4 minutes before asking my husband to get his glasses and come outside. I pointed it out to him and he returned in to the house to retrieve his binoculars.

I continued to watch the "star". I could tell that there were at least three colors, white, red and green (or blue). When my husband returned with his binoculars, he said "whatever it is, it sure is neat".

He then gave the binoculars to me and I watched it for a short time. There seemed to be a goldish colored light that would appear occasionally. It hovered in the sky over what looked to be the Freightliner Truck Manufacturing Plant in Cleveland, NC.

I checked two more times to see if the light was still in the sky. The first time, it had not moved, but the second time it had moved slightly higher and to the east.

Orange/Red light: Stationary for about 3 or 4 minutes. Then it dimmed its light(s) and took off North. out of sight! Saw this while relaxing outside on my deck.

There was a full moon, and I was enjoying the light it reflected onto the landscape when I saw an orange/red light: I thought it could be a planet or close star, as it was stationary for about 3 or 4 minutes. (It was over the trees, but I could not tell distance or size of the object.) Then suddenly it dimmed its light(s) to about 25% illumination and began slowly to travel to my right (north), and then it accelerated quickly and - zoom! - it was out of sight.

WOW!.

Very large Fireball shoots across sky. My brother was driving on interstate 40,heading east. We were about mile marker 150 coming from Statesville to Winston-Salem.

When out of the northern sky we saw a very large fireball with long tails of fire, headed towards the south,right in front of us.It was very bright red and blue with orange flames . We thought it was a Jumbo jet we had never seen anything like this.

When I got home I called the police and they called to Yadkinville police and I told them what we had seen. Almost 2or3 weeks later another sighting of the same thing happened again in a town close by where we saw it, and it was on the news people saw the firball hovering over some trees and they thought a plane had crashed. But they never found anything!!!!!.

A weird sighting in North Carolina where a strange formation with no sound hovered near a mans house for almost half an hour. I was outside on June 13, 2002 when i saw 4 strange lights. They were just hovering over my neighbors house.

I dcided to go to the road so that I could see them more clearly. When I got up there I noticed that there wee 16 lights, all grouped in 4's. The groups were arranged in a diamond.

All of the sudden the formation started to move. I heard no noise, an eerie silence. When 1 of them was right over me I noticed that the lights were part of a craft.

The craft was diamond shaped and the bottom of the craft kept changing from yellow to blue, from blue to red, and from red back to yellow. I know aircraft and they dont have yellow bottomes that change color. Then the craft formation started to gain speed and when the other crafts became visible instead of lights, the formation sped away without looking back.

This all took place in about 20 minutes.

Black sphere east of statesville airport traveling fast due north. I was at the statesville airport with my young daughter. It was a clear day with a few clouds in the sky.

I was parked north of the runway on Aviation Drive. I was listening to my radio shack 200 channel scanner model#20-312, which Icarry in my personal vehicle to listen to air traffic communications. The frequency for the Statesville airport is 123.

05. I observed a Beachcraft KingAir 200 airplane takeoff on runway 28and head in a westerly direction. I viewed the take off through my binoculars a pair of bushnells model#13-7016.

I had used the zoom lens to zoom in on the airplanes takeoffs (7-15/35 zoom). Using my scanner, I listened to student pilots getting clearances fo their takeoffs and landings. ACessna 172 skyhawk was holding on runway 28 to let a Robinson R22 Beta helicopter land.

Shortly after landing, the helicopter took off again and headed south and turned east past the airport. It then turned north and then west for final approach to runway 28. It then hovered while the Cessna followed the same pattern.

At the same time, another Cessna 182 skyhawk recieved clearance and tookoff.I was still watching the helicopter and the first cessna in my binoculars, when the second Cessna took off. I followed it up about 20-25feet off the runway.

At this point, I saw a black sphere about the size of a BB bullet off in the distance behind the airplane. The object hovered for about a second and then accelerated quickly from the southeast to the north. It was just a little norteast of my position when it disappeared behind the trees.

The object was 15-20 degrees above the horizon and from the first time I saw it to it disappeared was 10-15 seconds. Even with using the binoculars, I was unable to find a rudder, a contrail or after burner exhaust. I feel certain that it was not a B-2 Spirit, which I had seen at a Concord airport airshow back in May 2000.

The B-2 started out looking like a black line in the sky until it got closer to you. The craft I observed had no lights or reflection from the sun which was at 45-50 degrees in the south/southeast sky. ((NUFORC Note: Witness provided a follow-up map of the area and events.

The flight path of anomalous object, as indicated by the witness, appears to violate the approach pattern to the airport where the alleged event occurred. PD)).

I have thought of this event my whole life I was 12 I am now 46. My father and I was standing at edge of our yard when dad said, "What hell is that?" I looked and saw what was about as tall as a 30 story building just sitting 100 yards from us in a cut cornfield. It was about as wide as as a football field or so.

I looked at reports of this same ufo in the database it made me want to report my sighting. The only difference is this craft was hovering with no lights. It had windows running all down the left side like a tall building.

I also could see coming out right side a cone shaped metallic booster looking object like on our space shuttles. It had little bit steam coming out of it like it was a vent instead of being a rocket for propulsion. I also could see at the top what l swear looked like a head with bulls horns or something, a emblem of some kind.

It scared my dad so bad that when I ran towards it to get closer for a better look he screamed at me to stop and wait for him go first to see what hell had landed in our field. He finally caught me and led the way when all sudden it vanished and was gone. We walked back then but to this day I wish I had gone on out there because I think still to this day it was still there it just cloaked itself.

I thought so much over years of this and my dad still doesn't have any explanations either.We lived in perfect place I later thought for something to land away out by ourselves 100 acres of land on a dead end road no other houses would be able see this but ours.I stumbled on this website hoping find others that have seen my ufo or one like it.

If you look at rectangle ufo sightings the one I saw is described 30 storys high or so and width of football field with windows up and down it like a building is described more than once.Im so glad I was able to read those reports that this thing has been seen all over and is REAL.It feels good to be able get my story on here too,I have looked in fi! elds and up in clouds all these years hoping see it again but ! have not I swear on my life and my father would too on that this happened one late evening in late 80s and I have never forgot it or been able to explain it but I feel now for sure after reading about people reporting the same ufo in detail, mine just was not lit up or could I see people in the windows like some other reports of this same ufo.

Mine was trying hide and sit there I think completely quiet and no sound.I would bet my life now on UFOs are real. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate.

PD).
