Full Report Text:
I witnessed early in the morning a Disc like Flying Saucer hovering over the City of Dayton for 1 minute. It materialized while I was taking a picture of the City and then it dematerialized. Amazing!
I have photographic evidence I'll be uploading with this report.
Full Report Text:
I was driving southbound on interstate 75 headed to work in Dayton, Ohio, at 1805 hrs.
I was in the Troy, Ohio, area (mile marker 78) when I observed a greenish blue light crossing the sky from the north west falling downwards towards the south east horizon.
From first sight until it disappeared was approximately 5-6 seconds.
I have seen numerous shooting stars (enjoy watching meteor showers). Those I have seen are visible for maybe a second, many with a tail behind them. Although the light made a rapid descent into the horizon, it was not at a split second speed common to seeing a “shooting star” and its bright solid blue green, almost neon color was also not typical.
I am not sure what this was but it was too slow for a meteor (at least I think so) but far too fast for conventional aircraft.
This is the second time in my 60 years of life I have felt the need to report anything in the sky. The last time was in the 80s when I, along with dozens of other individuals saw a ball of fire streak across the sky in Virginia.
Originally I thought it was a plane crashing on fire but it ended up being a meteor.
Full Report Text:
6-8 glowing objects in the sky disappear after 5 minutes.
About 6-8 glowing reddish-orange lights floating in the sky looking East from Linden Ave and Woodman Dr. They moved across the night sky and then fizzled out after about 5 minutes from first noticing them.
Full Report Text:
Constellation of moving bright lights high in the sky.
((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to provide no contact information. We do not know the duration of the sighting, and cannot contact the source, in order to confirm that fact.
PD)).
Full Report Text:
I was at a traffic light, when we saw a triangle shaped craft fly across the sky above us, then it changed direction. There was no sound coming from it. The front of the craft had big bright white and red interchanging lights, and the bottom had three blue round blinking lights that were circular in shape (one on each corner of the triangle).
We tried to get photos, but the craft took off really fast. We followed it until it disappeared. About 40 minutes later, on the way home, we saw it again.
I stopped, and this time it hovered over us for about 30 seconds, and took off in the opposite direction.
Full Report Text:
We saw six circular orange in color objects. The objects would go in different directions and then disappear.
Full Report Text:
Fireball/yellow/orange "dancing figure" hovering, ascending, descending, (slightly); NEAR WPAFB.
I have not posted this until 04/27/15. The reason being, I like to investigate with nothing less than pure skepticism of my own eyes/thoughts, and try to as thorough as possible before I make a claim as something being unexplainable or being a "UFO".
2:30am, I see this yellow/orange, orb/ball of light floating fairly low on the night sky. I was thinking Jupiter, which I know was visible this night (Venus as well). I did all the research I could, pictures, astronomical star/planet arrangements for given time and date.
The research kept leading me to convince myself that it was indeed Jupiter. My gut was saying otherwise. This object was relatively large compared to any star or planet ive ever observed with the naked eye.
Within the first few moments of observation I had to keep refocusing on this object. It appeared at times humanoid in figure (arms, torso, head), "divine" dancing light if you would. Other times not so much, I rode it off as deceived perception.
Then I kept seeing a flash of light over the right shoulder of the object and this too, rode off as a plane heading to the airport. Then I saw the flash again, and again, and again. That's when it really didn't feel natural.
Even if the flash of light was a satellite in fixed position, why was it fixed, was it keeping an eye on this thing? At the least it was only a satellite interested in this object as well, if not it was from the object itself, either way I don't know.
I know that it aroused me enough to call up a friend near by to check it out as well. Unfortunately I don't have a camera phone/camera but I did sketch it on the computer with paint.
Full Report Text:
Two red/orange spheres.
Witnessed two orange red spheres (solid emitting light) (both had no blinking lights) west on US-35. Were gliding in the air, emitting no sound.
Both appeared out of the sky and traveled opposite of each other. Lasted for about 5 minutes.
There was a commercial airplane coming from the Dayton International Airport that had to have witnessed one of the orange spheres.
Both spheres faded into the dark.
