Celendrical object with flashing lights beyond Fernley's West hills I awoke early and received an email about a package in my mail box. I live on a farm, and the mail box is about 100 yards from the house. As I left my front door, I noticed that the air was very still and it was an exceptionally beautiful calm early morning.
The temperature was perfect, I didn't need a sweater. I looked up in the sky and noticed Mars, the red planet near the moon and thought it was so very red and bright. After finishing at the mailbox, while walking the same way, but in the opposite direction, I noticed a blinking calendrical object flashing red, blue, green, yellow, and white lights.
It stayed in place hovering beyond the West hills of Fernley. After observing it for about 10 minutes, I found it odd, because it was not moving and just hovering. The night before, there had been unusual activity in the sky over Fernley, and my farm.
There were several military helicopters buzzing over my farm, a low jet, and a C130 military plane and those a! re just the ones I noticed. who knows? Regardless, this object just stayed there hovering. I awoke my husband and he joined me to view this object.
It stayed in the same spot for 40 minutes while we wondered what this object could possibly be. We used our binoculars to look closer and the lights seemed to be moving around the object. After my husband went back to bed, I continued watching, and it moved very slowly to the North and toward Reno.
I thought, good . go away, your not supposed to be here. It was a little unnerving because I cant explain what it was.

Cylindrical silver craft, no lights, no sound, stationary, grew super bright, then dimmed and disappeared. I was driving on Shadow Lane eastbound and felt the need to look up. I saw a cylindrical looking craft emanating a circular pattern of energy.
I pulled over to the side of the road at the cross street of Michaelson right before Rosebud, put the car in park and stepped out to take a look. It was not moving.was stationary.
It was a lot lower than commercial airplane routes, a lot higher than the helicopters and a bit higher than when the Navy jets fly in at. It grew really bright, then dimmed and disappeared. It was sunset and I was wondering if the sun was reflecting off of it.
It was silver and living so close to Fallon Naval Air Station you have to wonder if this is a new experimental craft. There were no flashing lights, no colored lights.it just got super bright, almost blinding, then dimmed and disappeared.
There was no sound.

As I was traveling in my car going south bound on Alt. 50 from Fernley, Nevada, to Silver Springs, NV, I noticed a craft traveling from east to west, at about 12 inches from the horizon at 10:13 am. I was about 7 miles south of Fernley at this point.
At first it appeared flat and moving slowly, maybe the speed of an average helicopter. The object was about three quarters of a mile to a mile and a half away. As the craft proceeded (the first minute into my observation), the object then "banked" on its side now moved slightly north east when it revealed its disk shape and very reflective surface from the morning sun.
It was so bright it seemed to be glowing as if white hot. It seemed to be fixed in that position for approximately 10 seconds before flattening out again to its original position when I first noticed it. It continued on its East to North East trajectory until it literally vanished 20 seconds later.
I went to a local park/lake (Lahontan recreation area) to call Peter and write this report, I also witnessed a very low flying military fighter jet coming from the area of the sighting at 11:05 am. Further notes about the object in question is it was about the size of 15 to 20 writing pen dots. When it was reflecting the sun light it seems much larger.

THREE (3) very bright lights in elongated triangle shape travelling at low speed wink out simultaneously. Driving home on the street we live on, we watched three (3) very bright yellow/white lights in a stretched elongated triangle pattern traveling parallel to our truck above the roof tops of the houses that line the street and the empty water canal behind these houses. It looked close to me.
a logical guess would be about one eighth mile away and maybe 500 feet in altitude. It traveled parallel with us, but faster than us for 8 to 10 seconds, then all three (3) lights winked out at the same time. This is why I believe it was one (1) object, not three (3) separate objects.
we were driving at 25 MPH. It's a residential street. There was no sound from the object what so ever.
If I was to guess the length of the object from the front light to the rearward most light, I would say right at 200 feet long. It was clear out and we could see the stars. There was wisps of very faint clouds, but nothing that blocked out the stars.
My wife and I continued driving passed our house and down the road looking for it, but we couldn't find it again. The object was traveling at about 40 mph. Too slow for an aircraft, plus there was no sound.

Three white triangular shaped aircrafts? My husband and I were painting my parents house in northern nevada when we both saw 3 white triangular shape fast moving aircrafts? These left no smoke or anything behind. We thought they were jets flying together until we saw a jet actually flying in the sky the same time the jet seemed normal but the three white triangle aircrafts seemed a lot higher and faster. We saw them for about 3 minutes straight until they flew out of our site.
this was happening in daylight also about noon! ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)) ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD)).

Was driving home and saw a black triangle craft in the air. Aplane flying by near it and I noticed it was aout 3,000feet higher than the plane. Had a yellowish haze around it that made it seem eerie.
It moved in weird way then stopped the rest of the time that I saw it. I was on my way home from Reno to Fernley and when I got about half way there I saw a craft. It was a black triangle craft that had a very strange yellowish haze around it that seemed to be hipmotizing.
A plane was flying overhead and the craft seemed to be approximately 3,000 feet above the plane. It moved in a very odd way. It bobbed up and down like an eagle which is what I thought it was at first.
Then the craft stopped very suddenly and just hovered over a mountain. I had my other witness look at it and she could not explain it either. I watched it for the duration time possible.
It hovered then I went behind a mountain and could not see it any longer.
