Lights in the distance I’m on a United Airlines flight from Las Vegas to Houston. Minding my business and enjoying the flight I look outside and at first saw a light streak in the distance and then as I’m trying to figure out what I saw I look outside and there are these light going on and off periodically and at times there would be 2-3 of them at the same time.

We observed and recorded the objects with mobile phones as it followed us into the city. The objects was a cone shaped bright white color hovering and rotating east of the city, it seemed to be rotating. After observing the objects for a hour or so in the cover of darkness the object vanished.

We got into my vehicle and continued our drive. As I started my car and turned on my heas lights, the object seem to fly towards us at a high rate of speed, the brightness of the light got closer and followed us as we got into Gallup. We parked at a gas station on the east side of town and waited for the object to leave.

We continued to a mobile home trailer park on the east side of town and the ufo appeared to follow us until we came to our destination. The ufo continued to hover in the sky seeming to observe us, as we observed it with our mobile phones. At around 5:30 the ufo vanished in a upward blast.

Strange controlled beam of light emitting out of the sky. A bright light was projected out of the air/clouds, like a controlled beam of light, and it didn't move or make any sounds. After several seconds, the light/beam slowly retracted and almost disappeared.

Only a shade/fog/mist/cloud was dimly lit, almost gray in color. A second after it went out, there was a small thin trail or whisp of light that went away from it. It was so bright, it looked like a street light in the sky.

The way it faded out, seemed very concise and controlled. ((NUFORC Note: U. S.

huge bright white horeshoe lit object This craft was seen above Rte 66 about a thousand feet up. But distances are hard to figure in the sky. However, it was horseshoe shaped as best as I could tell or at least it had lights going around it that were in a horseshoe configuration.

The lights looked almost crystal white. My daughter who is 18 saw the same thing. It looked to me that the object was not moving or barely moving.

My daughter thought it was moving a bit but since we were driving it is hard to tell if it was moving. The object appeared to be as big as several houses put together. Or if you looked at a full moon in the sky it may have been as big as 50 full moons.

I didn't hear any noise but I think I had the radio on. I got out of the car to get a better look in a minute after seeing it because I couldn't see it any more. When I looked all around there was no object at all.

It literally seemed to have disappeared.

12 object formation over NW New Mexico on Easter Sunday It was about 1:45P and my wife, two kids (female age 7 and son 8 months old), and I had packed up our vehicle and were northbound from our home on the way to her parents for Easter Sunday family outing. She was driving while I rode in the front passenger side. The road to the highway from our home slopes downhill and gives you a view of NW Gallup on the outskirts and a railroad system that goes W to E.

I was describing to my wife an encounter that had happened to my brother and I, just the day before almost exactly 24 hours ago. I then looked ahead above the railroad tracks as we went down the hill and saw a bright white round object and I stated that what I had seen earlier looked exactly like it! While we proceeded closer I could see that it was not moving in any conventional manner. It did not appear to be moving at all.

Suddenly two more identical objects appeared to the N and to the SW of the initial object. We turned down Highway 66 and I had become quite excited by this point. We took another turn which goes north and across the railroad tracks and then took another right which takes you down Warehouse Lane, which is home to Burlington Northern, and a few other municipal installations.

I had my window rolled down and I had not taken my eyes off of the formation when we had come to a stop off the side of the road. I got out and looked above and could still see three objects when suddenly I could see one more, then another, then 6. They seemed to just appear from nothing and then I detected some that looked like they were coming down from space at very high speed.

They zipped down so fast that a few looked almost like a meteor coming down. They were all moving independent of each other and it had gotten to a point were I could count up to 12 of them. They were at different altitudes from each other but all were going in a mostly W – SW direction.

It was partly cloudy and windy at about 20-25 mph from the SW. I noticed one object that was different from the rest in that it was quite a bit larger than the rest (about the size of a quarter held at arms length) and was rapidly rotating and changing forms. It looked somewhat translucent but it seemed like it had some kind of field that enveloped around the shape of the object.

Around the edge of the field was slightly brownish and seemed much closer than the other objects. I could see approaching aircraft coming in from all directions and are what I would deduce to be military jumbo type aircraft. When a few of these planes came close a few of the objects actually appeared to be playing with the jets.

They flew in very close proximity to the planes and flew even alongside them for a moment or two. The formation almost seemed like a flock of geese or a school of fish in the ocean the way in which they moved with each other. There was no noticeable noise that came from these objects.

They all slowly disappeared through a cloud front that was approaching from the W or by just disappearing as the fleet headed W.

2 shape shifting objects and one small turquoise object sighted over NW New Mexico in daylight My brother and I were hiking through a small rocky area approximately one-eighth of a mile from the nearby apartment complexes in a small neighborhood of NW Gallup, New Mexico. We had ascended to a nearby cliff division and took a five minute break. There was a wind from the SW 15-20 mph and the skies were mostly clear.

I noticed a few large aircraft pass through overhead which is normal in this area. I looked away viewing the area around us when I look back up - directly above our resting location when I noticed a large round white object. It was about one-half the size of the moon at this point and was not moving.

I pointed it out to my brother and we looked at it for about 2-3 minutes while it remained motionless above us. It was obvious to us that it was not a balloon and did not resemble any of the other aircraft in the vicinity. I had sunglasses on that have polarized lenses so I could see with fair clarity when I realized the object had nearly doubled in size and had turned mostly bright red.

My brother seconded this observation and the object began rotating and changing its physical appearance. This began happening about 5 minutes after our initial sighting. It was rotating in a clockwise motion and appeared almost translucent or had some kind of field around it that gave it a translucent appearance.

The red color of the object slowly became larger and smaller as it rotated. It would become oblong, oval, round, square, and sometimes appear to have protrusions that seemed to come out of the body of the object itself. We then noticed large aircraft begin coming in from all directions and seemed to have changed their original trajectory in order to come into contact with the object.

Presumably they are of military origin and had detected them on radar or from some type of space platform. 3 of these aircraft came close to the object but I am unable to approximate the altitude. You could see contrails that slowly disappeared behind the jet aircraft.

Then the object disappeared. I waited for about two minutes when suddenly an identical type of object as the first appeared in the same location and was bright white and was also rotating. Then a small bright turquoise light appeared to come out of it and was shining much brighter than a star.

It moved away from the other craft and appeared to dance around to the side of the other object for about 3-4 minutes. I could see more aircraft begin to aim towards the objects when suddenly the phenomenon disappeared. We waited for about a half hour and no other objects were sighted on that day.

The next day Sunday, my family and I witnessed a larger sighting that I will report for the appropriate date. I had also submitted an earlier report which can be seen at http://www.nuforc.

Bright circular object turns into 3 discs over western New Mexican skys. It was around 1900 on March 12th. I was driving on I-40 west bound on my way to flagstaff when I noticed a bright circle at my 10 o’clock position.

At first I thought it was a bright star but then I started looked around and noticed it really wasn’t dark enough for stars to be out. The sun was still a good 45 minutes from setting completely and the moon couldent be seen yet. After about 10 minutes I asked my mother in law if she noticed anything strange in the sky.

She replied “yes” and pointed to the bright circle object in the sky. By this time my wife had joined the conversation and was aware of this object also. The more west I drove it seemed the bright object appeared larger and brighter.

I must have driven another 20 minutes asking myself what on earth this object could be and re-affering with my family I was actually seeing what I was seeing. They where just as in wonder as I was. When we got to the same place that the bright circular object was we could see it to the left of our truck.

It wasn’t one but 2 disks hovering in the sky about ¼ mile from our truck. They were slanted at a 45 degree angle facing eachother. Then out of knowhere a third one appeared.

At this moment one of the 2 had moved in a blink of the eye to the lower position while the third object was considerably further away compared to the other two. We couldent believe what we were seeing . After 2 minutes they just dissapeared.

I should of stopped my truck and took pictures but I was pulling a trailer and didn’t want to stop on the highway with my kids in the truck. I went through every single option of what it could have been in my mind. I tried to make sense of it with logical reasoning but all I can say is what we saw was definatly not of this world.

I spent 5 years in the Marines as a harrier mechanic and have seen every kind of military aircraft you can see come through our base. The base I worked at is the largest air base on the east coast. You name it I have seen it.

Up close and personal. I kno! w how th ey look when they fly . I worked on the only hovering aircraft in the world.

I can say with 100% confidence this was not a military or commercial aircraft(s). I hadnt said too much about this but I feel maybe this can help if even a little.

In the newspaper it was reported that several people saw strange lights and moved at unbelieveable speeds & simply stopped and hover I read in the Gallup Independent newspaper about people seeing strange lights and two flying objects in Gamerco. Gamerco is just north of Gallup, New Mexico. The paper is at www.

gallupidependent.com. In the paper it says there's a guy who video-taped the object.

Extremely bright white light with yellow and green strobing, long duration My husband stepped outside onto our porch and made a yelp of surprise, calling for me. I stepped outside as well and he pointed out an object in the sky. It was extremely bright, low on the western horizon and large.

It appeared to be hovering not too far from us. At first we thought it was possibly a helicopter because we could hear the sound of one approaching but we realized it was not coming from the light but an actual helicopter heading towards the light itself. This helicopter departed the scene after a red light seemed to dart out from the light itself.

At least 6 military jets were circling the light at a much higher altitude, keeping a good distance between it and them. The light hovered still for about 10 minutes and then moved very quickly to the right before continuing to hover. My 8 year old son came out to see what we were staring at and shouted "It's a spaceship!".

I told him that I didn't know what it was but it was definitely odd. Two other neighbors were outside and appeared to be watching it as well. We were still debating whether or not it was a search helicopter because it certainly did not seem like one.

There was a strobing effect to the light in an alternating yellow/green pattern. We realized that it was moving once again, this time away from us, due west. Although it was diminishing in size, the brightness of the object stayed constant and at the same altitude.

At that point, we realized that what we were looking at was not the headlight of a helicopter at all. We watched it until we could see it no more because houses obstructed the view. When it departed, the military entourage departed as well and it was a normal quiet Gallup, NM evening once again.

The last sight that we had of it, it seemed to blink red once. The rest of the time, it was just an extremely bright white light in the sky. ((NUFORC Note: We wonder whether the witnesses might have been looking at the dramatically twinkling star, that would have been visible in the southwest sky on the time and date indicated by the witness.

PD)).

SW view. Very sharp, fast flashing red light. Very similar to what I thought was an airplane.

Light was traveling SW at a slow pace. Suddenly the light stopped it's motion and became still with no movement. The sharp, red flashing continued.

Suddenly, the red light began to zig zag up and down. It did this for 4 or 5 turns then stopped (continuing to flash sharply). Then it appeared to light up, then it shot out at an extremely fast pace (SW direction).

This was like it went into light speed. The red light went from still, no motion to blast off. It looked very similar to a comet with a light tail.

I watched it for what seemed like 2-3 minutes. The evening was very calm and clear. No clouds and about 3/4 full moon.

Strange star-like object emits lights from sky. On the evening of March 15, 2002 as the moon sat in the western sky, my husband and I noticed what looked like a star just beneath the moon. Maybe a little to the right.

At first we assumed it was a star but not until it started to appear brighter and brighter. Then it casted a beam (like a huge spotlight) at first straight ahead then it slowly beamed downward. As the light slowly disappeared what seemed to be clouds started taking shape.

The light was completely gone and the clouds started to fade very slowly. My husband and I had pulled over hoping someone had witnessed what we just saw unfortunately we were the only ones on the road. We were hoping someone other than in our vicinity had witnessed this event.

We had never seen anything like it before. I mean it couldn't have been an aircraft of any kind much less a missil. What kind of aircraft or missile would make a very bright light? Although it scared us, it was in a way made a beaufiyl scenery.

I knew that if this was reported there would be some kind of excuse or cover up for it. Not until a few years later I became aware of this website and to my surprise there were similar sightings reported. So I decided to report the incident.

((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. PD)).

We were driving East on I40 toward Alb when I saw a flash of blue light that lit up the whole sky. I saw no craft with this light. li This isn't the first time I've seen this type of light.

About 2 years ago we were headed East for Denver(we are truck drivers) and it was late at night I was going though Rock Springs,Wy when I saw the same bright blue light like a explosion behind a hill. Also, a couple of months ago I saw 2 oval white lights. It was near the Nesqually exit on I5 right where you see Mt.

Rainier in the distance. This was early A.M and were only seen for a couple seconds.

They were as bright as a street light. ((NUFORC Note: We presume that the witness may allude to the dramatic flash that occurred over western New Mexico at 23:18::10 hrs. (Mountain).

Hence, we have amended the time here. PD)) ((NUFORC Note: For video footage of the event, captured by the Sandia National Laboratory sky camera in Albuquerque, please see the following URL: http://www.cs.

SUMMARY: Driving west on I-40 just after dark, saw lights strobing over median of hwy. Thought it might be a helicopter, but there was no noise and the unique pattern of lights. I passed almost under it and began to slow but it had disappeared.

Two hours later,on same hwy., a brown cylinder shape hovered and passed over my car. I estimated the first sight to be 40 ft up and ~40 ft wide and the second sight to be 2 and 1/2 ft long and 1 ft around.

The first sighting was quite large, at least40 ft wide, with lights centered in the middle.There were three large lights, flashing not on and off but in an alternating pattern. I couldn'tsay if it disappeared after I passed under it,because it was quite dark, but the lights were gone.

The second sighting was around Joseph City,Arizona, on I-40. It reminded me of a large poster tube, light brown. It hovered at the farthest reach of my headlights directly in front of the car for about 20 seconds, came straight at the windshield to about a foot and a halfand went over the car.

I was driving for a posting job I had held at that time for about 8 months. I had left that day from Santa Fe, NM where I was visiting a friend. After the first sighting, I called my husband from the very next truckstop.
