I sit on my Front Porch every evening. With a cat that escaped from our Home about 6 years ago. She comes Home every evening around 20:00.
I sit on the Front Porch and watch the sky in rural Union County, NC while she is eating. Three different evenings the past month I have seen a white light moving at a high rate of speed making movements that an airplane can not. I served 6 years with the 101st Airborne, so I have seen a lot of helicopters.
I am also getting my Class A Parachute license and have witnessed many planes in the sky. I have seen UFO's several times over the past 40 years including one night back in 1980 when our entire cul-de-sac was outside watching about 30 UFO's hover back and forth in the night sky for over 15 minutes!! If you allow uploaded photos I will try and take a photo next time I see one.

UFO in the sky turning white to red being chased. Driving down a county road at night I saw a flash of bright light go across the sky so fast and there seemed that there was something chasing it. I told my daughter to film it since I was driving.
It danced back and forth in the sky and would turn from white to red. I took pictures and filmed it. All I can say it was for sure no plane.

Bright star like lights appear then get brighter and finally fade Two Bright star like white lights appeared in sky as small as stars then increased in intensity. Much brighter than the other stars. Increased in brightness synchronized together and then faded out together about 20 secs later.
Not a cloud in the sky. Objects did not move and were silent. Altitude appeared to be 30,000 feet or higher.
Initially I thought I had witnessed two stars supernova together. But what are the chances of that occurring. I am very scientific person my career is electronics engineer.
I saw a similar event about 3 months ago but it was a single point of light and occurred at night. I am not sure what I saw. I have seen the international space station , meteor showers, but never anything like this.

2 green lights seen, and weird noise heard. Was checking on my animals and heard a strange noise. I looked around to see what it was and assumed it was coming from the highway, but then looked to the sky and seen 2 flashing green lights passing overhead.
After a second of watching these lights move around the sky, the noise stopped and the lights started moving slower then stopped completely. The lights were stationary in the sky for a moment, then slowly started rising and stopped and changed from green to red flashing lights, and then they started to flash between the colors and start moving away from my house, and then suddenly stopped. The lights turned off and the ufo resembled a star in the sky (when the stars weren't even out yet) and it disappeared.

Planes seen in area. Was weirdest thing. Was I the only one?.

8 massive balls of light swarming like bees extremely fast and followed us driving home. Hello, my name is ((name deleted)) but you can call me Mitch. I’m writing this years after my sighting.
I don’t think I could give you en exact date but it was definitely night time probably between 8 and 11pm and I was deep in Waxhaw, NC driving with 2 of my friends back to his house. We saw 6 or 8 massive circles in the sky I mean a probably the size of several navy ships each. Basically I know for a fact no vehicle of that size has ever been created.
But that’s not even the part that made me think it was for sure aliens. They were swarming in circles around each other like angry bees. It didn’t look like physical objects it was like bright but kind of see thru balls of white light.
I think it was cloudy and it started to rain. We drove all the way from downtown waxhaw to like 30 mins into the woods and I swear it followed us because when we got to the house we ran inside and got his mom and little brother to come outside and look at it so we didn’t think we were crazy and THEY SAW IT TOO. A total of 6 witnesses saw this and I am not even friends with them anymore.
I don’t like them they don’t like me and I garuntee our stories will match. One of the guys I was with was even crying and he gang bangs. I swear on everything what I saw wasn’t from earth unless someone had 8 spotlights that swarmed and followed us for 30 mins.
I don’t see that being possible. I am 21 now and I was probably 17 at the time. I wrote this because I just wanted to tell someone as nasa directed me to.
I am pretty sure I took pictures and videos but It’s kind of a blur to me and even if I did I’ve switched phones several times since then and lost all data on them.

White lights in a rectangular pattern that faded in and out, but did not move. Saw lights that appeared in the sky in a large rectangular shape. For at least five minutes the lights were stationary but would fade out and become bright again, could not have been stars.
The lights faded out at different times. Six individual lights were visible and were equidistant from each other. They were eventually covered by a cloud so the exact duration of the event is unknown.
The lights were white.

I witnessed an alien war over Waxhaw NC MCP - Celebrating the New Year and thought I was just witnessing fireworks. I saw a lot of explosions in the sky, but instead of colorful geometric formations, I kept seeing huge fireballs followed by mushroom clouds. Apparently aliens were having a war in the atmosphere.
6-7 UFOs shaped like discs and piloted by Grays were shooting lasers and neutron missiles at each other at an altitude of 95,000 feet. It looked like the UFOs were blowing up when they were hit, but their shields protected them. I saw one Gray eject from his spacecraft after several direct hits, but he parachuted into another craft then took off back into deep space.
The worst part was getting abducted. A UFO landed in my driveway and the pilot got out and asked for several wooden boxes of uranium. I told him I had some in my basement, and when he went and looked I snuck onto his spaceship and started going through his things.
He came back and caught me. Things got really out of hand at this point and I'm too embarrassed to say what happened next.

Multiple red/orange orbs hovering in sky, and an aircraft with orange triangle on bottom, and silent military helicopter spotted On the night of Sept 4th, 2013 in Waxhaw, NC my husband rushed into the house from the garage telling me to come and take a look at something. Once outside the front of our house he pointed to the sky and said " I just saw a big ball of light fly across the sky and there are still two more hovering there." I looked and sure enough, there were two shimmering orbs and above those was a very bright colorful star.
The two orbs were reddish orange in color and were very bright. They were right above the tree line on the horizon (one on top of the other), I estimate maybe around 20 miles away or closer. I kept on comparing them to what I thought was this superbright "star" above both of them and was just in awe of how these orbs could be stationary, yet about 5 times bigger than this star and bright reddish orange.
Then slowly, the orb on the bottom of everything closet to the tree line started moving to the right (west)very quickly and was blinking blue and red. If I hadn't just watched it be a big stationary orb for about 5 minutes, I would have thought it was a plane. At this point my husband asked me to go inside because people would think we were crazy and we should just forget about it.
So, I went inside, but of course had to check to see if there was anything in sky behind our house. As I walked out the backdoor and got beyond our back porch there's a silent (I'm sure military) helicopter just above our house headed southwest towards where I saw the orb headed. There were lights (regular spot light type lights) on the bottom of the helicopter and I could see the "feet" that the helicopter lands with, but couldn't hear a thing! Just a slight wooshing of air and that was it.
I was amazed and ran inside to get my husband out of the garage to come and see- In the approximately 5 seconds it took for us both to get outside in the back yard the helicopter was totally gone. We stayed outside for about two minutes just talking about everything that was going on and all of the sudden above our heads there was an aircraft with a large orange/red triangle on the bottom, (the craft was about the size and shape of a really weird plane), a second mini triangle on the back of what looked like a tail end, and very "plane like" red and blue flashes on what we assume was the "wing" tips on each side of the large triangle. It was headed to the east.
The opposite direction of where the helicopter was going. We were really shocked and stood in the backyard talking about what could possibly going on. There are military drills around here a lot, so maybe this was a military drill? Maybe the military has developed orb and triangle lighted planes? We are on the brink of war with Syria, so who knows.
So then after about 4-5 minutes we go back to the front of the house. Now there are "heat lightning flashes" to the east (I saw about 4) and the 2nd orb is moving straight upwards. Just going straight up in a line pretty slowly.
Then, it flashed and disappeared for a second, reappeared, and quickly moved west blinking like an airplane just like the other one did. I went back inside to call it a night; I clearly knew we weren't going to find out what these things were. My husband stayed outside.
About 10 minutes later he comes running in the house telling me to come outside. I go outside and he tells me about a super fast white streak that blazed across the sky east to west, but it was now gone. ALSO GONE IS THE HUGE STAR FROM EARLIER!! So, what I thought was a super bright star or planet that was having a good day, was not that at all.
No more heat lightning either, everything was now totally calm and normal. What was all this?.

Three Redish Orange craft seen flying through Waxhaw,N.C. On the night of August 6th, my sister, brother-in-law and I witnessed 3 Reddish Orange cylindrical craft fly from South West to North East while standing in our connecting back yard.
The crafts though cylindrical seemed pointy on top. The first one that passed and my sister and I were astounded. She ran into her house to get her husband and by the time he came outside it just vanished.
Not into the horizon mind you. It just disappeared. Just at that same moment my brother-in-law noticed two more coming from the South West heading North East.
Now my brother-in-law was a skeptic before this event. For it was he ship spotted the other two coming. All three flew over our back yards and there was no sound of any propulsion system.
Just dead silence. As the last two passed we estimated that they were flying at helicopter height, but were five times the size. As the last one passed over head we realized that there was what looked like a beam shining out of the center and that it was rotating around circumference the craft.
We continued to watch them travel North East until they just disappeared. What I mean by disappeared is that they vanished before reaching the horizon line. This was also witnessed by two of my neighbor's will have pictures.
I am awaiting an email of the photos now. ((NUFORC Note: We spoke via telephone with this witness, and we found him to be quite sober-minded. We suspect that he is a very good witness.
PD)).

15-20 red lights in the sky were hovering low in a staggered formation south of Charlotte for 5 min, then each moved northwest In front of our house, south of Charlotte, NC we were facing west when we saw 15-20 red lights low in the sky. They looked to be circular shaped and brightly glowing red, just hanging in the sky and not moving. They were assembled in a staggered formation.
They hung in the sky for over 5 minutes. My son and I were stunned. As we were looking at them, a police officer pulled up and stopped to look as well.
We watched in amazement wondering what in the world could fill the sky with red lights like that. After watching them about 5 minutes hang in the sky, one by one they each dropped down in the sky as if to land in a northwesterly direction, all moving in the same direction and then out of sight. It was the strangest thing I have ever seen.

Slow travelling non-blinking light high in the sky that changed travel direction I saw a bright, non-blinking light very high in the sky. The sky was pretty clear because the visible stars & constellations were very bright. This light moved slowly from the North and then seemed to turn East and then reappear heading South.
The same light then reappeared again (I don't know at what time interval) heading South again at least two more times.

Disc-shape object hovering 30 ft above house - lights blinking with siren-like sound. Object left very quickly within seconds. I walked outside to take my dog out and it had a kindof loud wistling noise.
I looked in the sky and saw it. It was huge, it was grey basicly all around and had a oval shaped door in the middle. I t had flashing rainbow colored lights on the bottom of it.
My dog saw it and started barking and it took off at the speed of light. It looked like it just fanished into thin air. When it left all the trees started going back and forth of how fast it left.
