Huge bright object with no noise rose up out of woods behind my house!! It was late at night around 11 or 11:30PM and I was sitting on my back steps off my porch having a cigarette and talking on the phone to my boyfriend. We got off the phone and I was finishing my cigarette when this HUGE thing rose up out of the woods behind my house with no noise but lots of lights spinning around the center of it.It was less than an acre in the back yard so however far that is, that's where it came from.
It came up and out at an angle so I saw the bottom and then it straightened up and came across my yard and over the house. It was only on the tree tops (pine and pecan) so it was VERY low and made NO noise at all. I was watching and backing up to get inside at the same time.
I wanted to keep watching but was TERRIFIED!!!! I ran inside and told my grandparents and they didn't know if they should believe me or not but the next day my grandfathers friend which lives across the street from him had been outside and he saw it too and said "it was so low and so bright that you could have found a needle in the grass"!!! so anyway that's my story. Haven't seen anything like that since but have had other things since childhood happen. ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate.
Source is anonymous. PD)).

3 Silver Triangular Ships close and low disappeared as I turned around Date at present is 3/31/2020. Siting occurred early-mid 90's, around 8 pm. Dusk, but still daylight, no headlights needed.
Driving self home from grocery store. Less than a half mile from home, while crossing RR tracks, something told me to look up. No other cars behind me or in front, small rural area/town.
I see 3 silver, triangular ships, very low, no noise, as close together as they could be, just silently floating. I jumped out of the still running car, as they were passing overhead and I wanted to see where they were going, as they were not something I had ever seen before and I was perplexed. As soon as I jumped out of the car I turned around to see their direction and they had disappeared.
Never have forgotten the event. Still see it all in my mind. Wondered about it since.

My friend and I were in a parking lot (there was a moon) heading to our vehicle. I looked up and saw what I thought at first were meteors coming down but I quickly realized they were coming down too uniformly and not burning out (not leaving a trail). At first I was seeing two 'burns' then, looking for more, I looked ahead of the direction they were going and seen a third 'burn'.
I didn't think of them as lights, they were more like a friction burn . These three burns against the starry sky outlined a huge triangular object. We were heading to work therefore didn't wait for it to go out of sight.
I called the local TV station the next day and was told they were meteors. I told them I had seen them and they were not meteors.

Dancing lights behind clouds Had a slumber party with a friend and my siblings. Oldest person at the scene who was still only a teenager called us outside to look. Above the sky to the east over the trees saw between 8 and a dozen lights larger than a full moon, glowing behind the clouds.
They were twirling around each other in circular formations. Did it for a while and then slowly the lights started to spread out their formation and the entire thing drifted north , keeping up the same 'dance' until they were out of sight.
