Green fireball shoots across sky before disappearing. We were stopped at a light on an intersection, when both of us saw a green fireball shoot across the sky. At first we thought it was a meteor.
However, when compared to visuals of meteors, the object was vastly different. Don't exactly know what it was, but that's what makes this a UFO. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Military Helo following solid white orb. On the above date and time, I witnessed a solid white ball of light, traveling at a good speed followed by what sounded like a military helo. The event was seen about 3/4 to 1 mile to my west.
The helo and light was traveling from the SW to N/NE. I could clearly hear the motor from the helo but no notable sound coming from the white light and no blinking beacons were noted coming from it either. I first noted the crafts when they were in close proximity to Easterwood Airport in College Station Texas.
The white orb appeared to be gaining distance from the helo. I have a military and police history. This was the strangest event I have witnessed.

Red/Green orb seen through telescope, tracked from Jupiter W/SW to horizon at incredible speed Went stargazing with a friend last night (3/25/15) at Lake Bryan outside of College Station. While using my Celestron Astromaster 114 with 32mm fully coated eyepiece, I was focused in on Jupiter for a minute or so, when a red/green alternating orb flew across my field of view. I then followed this object, which moved at incredible speed, west (Jupiter was in south sky) until cloud cover prohibited seeing object.
What drew my attention was its curving motion and abrupt changes in speed, from close to a dead stop to full speed almost instantaneously. The speed of this object was far greater than any aircraft/satellite and could not be seen by naked eye, only through telescope.

Bright white light in illuminating cloud in southern sky This will sound strange but this morning, as I was leaving the house (around 5:45 AM), I was walking toward my car and noticed up in the sky a very bright, white object. It was illuminating a cloud and appeared like a spot light shining up there. I turned around and went back in the house to tell my husband to come out and see this thing.
When I came back out and looked again, whatever it was had disappeared. It wasn't the moon, wrong area of the sky, and it wasn't a street light, too high in the sky, and it wasn't a spotlight, since we live out in the country. To tell you the truth, I can't even describe the shape other than it was round-like and bright white.

Hovering object seen with red and white light making very erratic movements At approximately 10:15 pm, myself and 4 other family members witnessed something hovering in the sky that we could not identify or explain. We were on the back patio of my house, and observed a large object floating in the same spot with a very bright red and white light. The lights were not blinking, not strobing, just on.
There was no sound either. We were not able to make out the shape of the object. We assumed what we were seeing was a helicopter at first, until we saw it move.
It would suddenly move one direction, then dart the other way without stopping (from left to right without pausing). It would seem to float and dip, and then suddenly accelerate a short distance, and then freeze. It also would suddenly descend and ascend.
All of the movements seemed very erratic, and not at all like any normal flight pattern. I do not believe that a helicopter would be capable of the movements we witnessed. We watched the object for about 3 minutes as it slowly traveled several miles away and out of view.
Hoping others witnessed!??.

pitch black triangle shaped object travelling across the night sky I work graveyard shift on Texas A&M campus and went outside to smoke a cigarette. It was somewhere between 1:40-1:45 am. I was looking at the stars noticing that the sky was very clear.
I was looking at Orion's belt when a very subtle "shift" or motion near it. It was very subtle, but as I focused my attention on it, I noticed it was a perfect v-shape. My instant thought was that it was geese because of the shape, but as I watched I was thinking to myself "no way" because it was travelling too fast, and the shape was a PERFECT v with no fluctuation.
It appeared to be a solid V-shaped object, based on the subtle line of the edge I could distinguish. I could only for certain see the V edges, and not sure about a third edge. It appeared solid and uniform.
I also could not make out any individual birds or wings, nor was there any sound that you would hear when geese fly by overhead. There was no sound at all. I have never seen a flock of geese fly so perfectly in a v formation and that quickly.
It was black on black against the night sky. I could barely make it out and would have NEVER noticed if it hadn't come into a very small field of vision while I was looking at the stars. Even as I told myself it must be geese, something about it.
I can't put into words .made me feel like it definitely wasn't. It spooked me.
In those few seconds my mind was racing to rationalize it. the V was, however, flying south-east, a direction I assume geese would fly this time of year. But it seemed to be a very large dark triangle/boomerang shaped object flying about the altitude of a regular plane and travelling quickly, maybe similar speed to some planes.
I'm not good at giving estimates on size, or even distance in the sky, so could be unreliable on measurements. I only got about 4-5 seconds of being able to see it before it blended into the night sky/too far away. If it were geese, it seems like they would have been low enough to hear AND see (full or nearly full moon), and the speed was too great.
I've never seen geese fly that perfectly in unison, either. Maybe it was military aircraft??.

Orange glowing crafts seen over College Station, Tx UFO Sighting: College Station, Tx October 31, 2010 1:25 a.m. A group of friends and I were in our backyard around a campfire on a calm clear night when we happened to look up at the sky to see an orange ball of light headed our way.
There were no clouds in the sky and absolutely no wind. At first we thought it had to be a plane but it seemed to move a lot faster and made no noise. They were bright orange or amber in color and seemed to flicker or glow as they flew over our heads.
They were moving at a very fast speed coming from the South and headed towards North. It took them about 30 seconds from when they came into sight until they flew across the entire sky. They seemed to be consistently travelling in groups of twos, with the first one being brighter than the second.
We were able to make out the dimmer craft following the glowing one to be a disc or circular shaped. The first time we saw them there were four waves of two crafts per wave. We waited about 30 minutes and a fifth wave came in the same pattern.

i was driving down the highway and saw a blue orb that disappeared when i focused on it. I was going down 2818 (which is a highway by my house) and I looked up in the sky to see if any planes were going to land,because its by an airport. I looked up and saw nothing,and kept driving.
I then looked up again and saw a blue circular light, first thinking it was a small airplane landing, then taking a second look.When i focused on the light with my eyes it sped away to fast for me to see where it was going. The light seemed to just disappear into nothing.
My eyes immediately began to water, i wasn't crying and my eyes weren't irritated;they just started watering. I got goosebumps and called my mom. When she tried to call me back there was a call failed message,and then a weird sound.

Barely visible cicular craft with small red lights that floated independently over the craft like flies. Making a report of this type is something that I never could have imagined, but I just saw an unexplainable object. At 9:00 pm, I witnessed a barely detectable object that flew over Texas A&M University at a height normally reserved for military aircraft.
The object was silent, round bodied as large as a jumbo jet, but with strange red lights that seemed to float independently around the fuselage. The craft was moving slightly faster than an airliner, but again it seemed to float, with no noise and with no normal aircraft lights. The weird floating red lights where not attached to the aircraft and moved over the aircraft body likes flies.
The craft moved from the south over the college toward the east and the whole flight over the town lasted perhaps 5 to 8 seconds. In looked like it met up with another object of similar design and then both vanished into the night sky. It was really strange and I am left completed numbed by the experience.

college station V shaped lights. My roommate and I were in the back yard when I happened to look up. Something caught my eye; it was dim orangeish lights in the shape of a V heading North-East over us.
It seemed to be low, was complete silent, and moving fairly slow. We watched in amazement trying to figure out what it was. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.
Possible hoax. PD)).

Stationary red, blue, green, white light high in College Station sky around 5am While smoking a cigarette on the front porch which faces 120 degrees North Northeast I noticed what I assumed was one of the stars flashing different colors. Unsure if my eyes were playing tricks on me I asked my roommate who was sitting next to me if he thought the star was changing colors. He agreed that is was definitely flashing different colors.
Being extremely high up it was hard to make out a definitive shape but it was flashing red blue green and white light. He reasoned that it could be a plane extremely high up and heading straight for us and that was why it looked like it wasn’t moving. However, after about half an hour of watching it continued to remain stationary.
Also, agreeing that neither one of us had ever seen a plane that flashed that many color and in such rapid succession. The flashing most resemble the flashing of a police car if you added green and white into the mix. I looked at other stars to see if maybe there was moisture or something else in the air that could be causing the color changes however all the other stars, including ones near the UFO appeared normal not even showing much scintillation.
I grabbed a pair of binoculars and peered at the object however they were to low power to help much. The colors and strobing was easier to make out with the binoculars but not much else. I took some pictures with my digital camera to see if it could give many any detail however it is to old and cannot zoom so it was of little use as well.
In conclusion, we both agreed it was not a star however we cannot explain the multicolor strobing no why it remained stationary. The object was still in the sky when we retired to the house. Keep in mind that both my roommate and I always look for the most likely causes for this type of phenomenon but were not able to reason one on this night.
It should be noted as well that neither one of us was on any king of drug or medication at the time. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

triangular shaped craft; rapid flight then stationary, then rotate (not turn) short rapid flight, stop, rotate, etc., silent; Object was triangular in shape and if my memory serves me correctly, it had what appeared to be round balls at the tips of two of the pointed ends. Object would be stationary and rotate, then move rapidly in a direction, stop suddenly, then rotate again, stop, etc.
It performed this manuver four or five times. Appeared to move very fast. We watched it for a few short minutes then by the time I left and came back outside with my camera, it had disappeared.

city lights flash out, bright light flashes across sky from Southeast Direction ----(I have already reported this once. I am clarifying some information a little. I was thinking about it again today (this weird event pops into my mind every once in a while still.
it really impacted me) and wanted to just clarify info a little bit.)--- There were three of us in the car on the road going out for the night. It was early August on a Thurs or Friday night, somewhere between 10-11 pm.
We were in the city on a street driving Northeast, and there were buildings on either side of us on the road, restaurants, mini mall, parking lots etc, all lit up with typical lights. Suddenly in a split second, all lights went OUT and the sky lit up in a bright flast of light. There was not an apparent point that this light radiated from, rather the entire half of the Southeastern sky was lit up like daylight.
ie, the sky was sky blue. For that split second it was like daylight (although the extreme opposite direction, the horizon was still dark). before you could blink, everything was back to normal lights back on and everything.
Literally, it occured in a split second. It was VERY WEIRD and paranormal. All three of us in the vehicle screamed and the driver STOPPED the car in the middle of the street.
Before we were through jumping/hollering/car stopped it was over, though, leaving us to wonder if it really even happened. There was absolutely NO NOISE associated with the event at all. We all looked at each other in disbelief.
in fact we all asked each other " did that just happen" at the same time. If we were not all there to assure each other, I think if would have been passed off as imagination, etc. I called electric company the next day because we were so freaked out.
no reports of any kind of problem whatsoever. We had called another friend we were going to meet up with several miles away north of us, who was in her car as well with her fiance, and although she saw no flash of light in the sky, she said the lights in the city did flash off for a second where she was at too. The night was fairly clear.
nice weather. There was NO lighting, and no storms in the area. This event may seem trivial just reading about it, but if you were there you would understand why I have reported it here.
The three of us talked often about this event for WEEKS after it occured. We were shaken up for all that night. something UNREAL occured that defied our senses and rational explanation.

Full Report Text:
22 orange-yellow UFOs, flying low, fast and silently east to south over Texas A&M University 4 randomly moving followed by 18 in a line December 12, Sunday 2004, 10:15 CST. My husband and I stepped out for a cigarette and he drew my attention to a formation of 4 objects moving rapidly and silently across the sky over the east side of our building, moving south. The objects appeared in a diamond formation and at first glance I thought it might have been a large aircraft moving sideways.
The objects then began to circle randomly around each other (2 objects rotated clockwise while 2 others rotated alternate directions around the these) while maintaining course and speed south. They moved at a steady speed from the time that we saw them from the time they disappeared over the trees on the south side of our complex. 45 seconds to a minute later, while moving around to the other side of our complex, we saw a line of 18 objects in a half V formation, in the same direction (South) as the previous 4.
The objects looked identical in shape, color, and speed as the first 4, but they remained in formation until out of sight well over the far side of the Texas A&M University campus, which we can see from our parking lot. Again, they flew anywhere from a few hundred to a thousand feet above the ground, with absolutely no noise. They flew faster than birds and as fast if not faster than a jet airplane.
The objects were in a very very tight formation [nearly touching each other].

I have made several reports recently and had the most disturbing sighting last night. I previously reported seeing objects that appeared to be stars that were low to the ground and when magnified they appear to be some type of energy balls that rotate and pulse and glow like a welding machine. They seem to be motionless to the naked eye but on video can be observed to slowly arc upwards over time.
I also have seen strange vehicles which could be normally explained as some type of airplane. Last night I saw one of these orange hovering balls over some nearby houses and when I stopped the car to film it dropped to the ground like a spider on a web. Then when it saw I wasn't leaving it rose up and started flying slowly away.
Anyone else would have said it was just a plane but when I zoomed up on it you can clearly see that it is 3-4 of these little welding balls traveling together not in formation but as one unit seemingly fused together electromagnetically or something. It is beyond all of my comprehension of how this is possible. But in slow motion you can clearly see them individually but moving as one.
And kind of pulling at each other as they go. This craft moved away from me just above the horizon until it vanished from view. As I drove away I could see it (light up) again and start circling back to where it had started from.
In the 2 inch video window of my camcorder all you could see was a light but on the TV screen at home it is plain to see and as it vanished it seemed as if the spheres broke apart and went in different directions. As I drove along I could see these things almost everywhere. Noone seems to believe me even with the video and laugh it off telling me to watch out or I will get a probing.
It is alarming to say the least and it is just like what people had said they had seen but had no proof. I have the proof that the "Truth is Out There" as they say on the X-Files. I have started calling myself Spooky.

I saw 6-8 craft of some sort descending to the ground and dissapearing behind the trees. I have made a couple of reports within the last week or so from College Station and am glad to see them finally posted but must disagree with the evaluation that they are merely stars. Last night as I was coming home right after dark I saw what I thought was an airplane.
I refer to them as mosquitoes because they have at least six or eight white lights that extend from them. I was about a mile from my house on a big hill where you can see for miles. I saw the first and then a few hundred yards behind was another and then another.
This was to my left and then to my right was the same thing. And as I watched in dismay they all went straight towards the direction of my house. And trying to be scientific about all of this I thought OK what a coincidence.
Then I watched several of them dropping toward the ground until they went behind the trees. Then two of them that were still in the air turned off their (running lights) and became these yellowish/orange balls that I have been seeing. And yes I was freaking out and no I was not drinking.
And the worst part was I had to go home right by there. My house is surrounded by thousands of acres of tall thick wilderness so anything could be out there. I started watching as I turned on my road and sure enough about halfway down I could see through a small clearing some sort of blinking white lights which were on or near the ground.
When I stopped to look they turned off as if I was seen. And not no but hell no I did not go to see what it was. Later that night I could see a glow back there like from a town but there is no town in that direction.
I could hear what sounded like machinery which reminded me of an oil well pumping station. But to my best knowledge there is not a well back in that creek bottom either. So I went inside and pulled the covers over my head and hid.
I have been seeing and filming things nearly every night for about a month and have no explainations. My friend at work said maybe they are some type of military helicoptors or something which would be fine as compared with the alterenative. I only know that I hope it is one of ours and not one of theirs.
But I suppose they mean us no harm because I have definitely been seen watching them.I have video but am unclear where to send it. ((NUFORC Note: One of many reports from same source.
Possibly not a serious report. PD)).
Full Report Text:
I saw a large possibly triangular shaped craft pass over me with two bright lights behind it. I have been seeing various lights and objects during the past month and reported a sighting to you a week or so ago and gave info to contact me but no response. So this time I will not leave info and we will see what happens.
On thursday night I was outside with my video camera looking for another object to film. I saw the usual yellowish orange ball to the east of me when I noticed a blinking light near it. It either came out of it or was circling checking it out.
It kind of darted back and forth then slowly headed my way. I filmed it as it passed over a little to the south of me and as it went by I could hear a faint roar like a jet. But the sound kept getting louder behind me instead of in the direction of the objects path as would be expected.
I turned around and about 3-400 feet above me was some huge craft several hundred feet across with two large lights in the back of it heading in the direction of the orange ball. At first I thought it was two fighter jets going to look at the ball but soon realised it was one vehicle and it was moving way too slow for a jet. A jet would have fallen out of the sky moving that slow.
I jumped around to film it and got about 10 seconds of video before it went behind some trees, that is how low it was. As I watched the video, all but around 3 seconds was jumping and shaking but in slow motion there is definitely something there. But no dicernable shape is visable.
But the lights I thought were flames were blinking. They stayed on but blinked intermittently through the white light. It was strange and I showed the video to people at work and they had no answer either.
I saw a show on the Phoenix Lights the other night and clear as day was the same type of lights as the object passed overhead. I am open for suggestion and have video footage if you are interested. ((NUFORC Note: Source of report provides no contact information, so we cannot contact the party, and have little evidence for linking this report to any other.
