United States UFO Sightings In 2003

Full Report Text:

Saw a red cluster or fire ball hovering in the eastern sky. It blinked on and off and suddenly went out. We saw a red cluster hovering in the eastern sky.

It appeared solid and was blinking on and off. It did not move. Ironically, we saw the exact same light exactly two years earlier on new years eve 2002( we were sober I might add).

It hovered for approximately 15 minutes and then the light went out. It was to high to be a plane and no way was it a helicopter. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous.

PD)).

Generally agreeing with other reports posted for this event. Have never seen anything like this; approx. nine yellow-orange lights in random pattern first seen in general area above confluence of Wenatchee and Columbia rivers, spread in sky and moving slowly from northwest to southeast.

Some lights moved up, others down even to below horizon line. Witnessed by three adults and one teenager from good vantage point near center of Wenatchee. Lights eventually either died out or moved beyond range to east.

Albany, OR Lights in the sky. The craft(s) flew from south to north, on a fairly straight path. The path was slightly erratic, the light was unsteady and wobbled from side to side.

There was a cloud deck, and the light stayed under the clouds the whole time. The craft(s) flew directly overhead, making no noise. As it passed overhead, we could see that the light was coming from approx.

7 individual lights. The craft(s) continued overhead, and on the south/north path. This path continued until the craft(s) were lost to sight.

The light was orange/yellow in color, and seemed to shift hue, but only very slightly. One witness, a college graduate, says that it reminded her of "a box with lights on it , with the light coming from within" A second witness, 26, says that it looked like "one object with lights in a pattern. Equally bright.

The same color orange." The third witness, 25, was the first to spot the object, seeing a bright orange light, at first thinking it was landing lights from an airplane coming in to land at the nearby airport. The lights were the wrong shade, however, and that is what grabbed his attention.

((NUFORC Note: We spoke at length via telephone with this witness, and we found him to be quite sincere and credible. PD)).

I saw a orange orb the size of a large exercise ball pass by a skyscraper half the length up when in my car in 2013 I'm new years eve. I have heard that glowing orange or silver orbs are a common ufo sight across the world. This particular report is of one passing by a skyscraper on new years eve 2013 at about elleven thirty at night.

It was orange and about the size of a large exercise ball and vanished after traveling pass the building half the length up at a slow pace. There is no way it could have been a traffic light or a reflection of any kind of city light. I could clearly see that it was an orb.

I hope this info is helpful as usually there are seen in the sky.

New Year, New Sighting. I was at a new years party and I decided to go for a walk cause it was a rather boring party. I walked up the street and looked at a street light but behind the street light I could make out 5 far away dots of light that moved uniformly up and then to the south.

objects flew up thousands of ft., dissappearred,re-aprd, touched eachother, very fast, yet floated at times. I live waterfront in Canyon Lake not far from Edwards AFB, the entire back side of my house overlooks the Santa Ana Mts.

to the West or left. directly behind are hills with nothing for miles and to the East or right is Edwards AFB. On New Years Eve I was sitting in my kitchen looking west/left towards S.

A. Mts. Both my girlfriend and I saw 4-5 objects huvering just over the mtn top, they would all (one by one or 1-2 at a time) "shoot" straight up several thousand feet, huver for a while dissappear for a while, re-appear sometimes much higher approx 15k ft.

, other times just over the mtn. top. they all had strange light formations mostly bright, but dimming periodocaly or lights sudenly tuning off.

I was able to keep a pretty good eye on them with my binnoculars. was unable to see much of a formation do to it being at night, their lights gave too much of a glare. when lights off they looked like the eagle on the back of a silver dollar with a string out the bottom.

almost like a kite string. the next day New Years day at approx. 2-4 pm the same objects appeared and when I looked with my binnoculars they defineately looked like the eagle.

the color they gave off was like that of an old motor cycle tail pipe, goldish blues, then grey, and almost incadescent at times. the string on the bottom appeared to be a jet stream or exhaust about the same length as the craft. They (3-4) flew the same way as the night before.

huvering, "shooting straight up, floating side to side while perpindicular (slow 360's) then turning the other way. this lasted for approx. 1 hour, somewhere between 2pm & 4pm.

since then i have seen similar objects several times usually late at night. I have also noticed a sincere increase in military aircraft for approx 2 months now. prior to last Oct-Nov.

there were rarely any aircrafts flying over head. (El Toro air base happens to be directly behind the sightings) If it is closed? aprox 2 weeks ago in he middle of the week around 2pm an aircraft traveling approx 4-5K mph,(based on fighter jets that go overhead at 1.5k mph?) went overhead it looked similar to the space shuttle without any wings and was white or silverish.

since 1-1-04 i leave my binnoculars out, this is reason i was able to see this aircraft. after it passed overhead, the turbulnce caused the middle of the lake to raise up in a circular fashion as like a round wave approx 10' diameter, then it became a wall type wave approx. 20'-30'long for a brief moment and turned into a whirlpool about 10 diameter.

it was by far the fastest aircraft i have ever seen. 2-3 days after that for two consecutive days there were at least 20 rocket trails in the evening. the first night they were from the south towards Mira Mar? the second evening north/west towards LA.

the day i saw the super fast object no trails were in the sky. I do have some photos and camcorder tape of all the above, not the best quality.

unidentified flying object My fiancee was looking through the telescope trying to see Saturn when he came running in the house telling me to come and look at something he found. This thing was round like a small orb but it was all different colors like reds and greens and yellows. and the middle of this circular thing was swirling around and changing colors like some kind of prism thing.

I dont know what it is but i would like to know if anyone else has spotted something like it. It didnt move around in circles or zig zag in the sky like people say but it did move and I know it wasnt a star it was way to low. Whatever it was it was weird.

could you possibly give me some info on what this thing could have been.

I saw a bright light or very shiny matialic light moving at very high speed, & change of direction like nothing i ever seen befor It was new years eve, at 10:30 pm. I was on my way to my best friends house by myself to spend new yrs with them. I was heading south on salt road.

As I was driving tword sweets corners rd., were i would turn left or east on sweets corner rd. I saw a round or egg shap light.

A very bright light or even maybe a matillic shine. I slowed down to watch the phnonomon. First I looked to see if there was any 1 around useing a flashlight.

But there was no beam were the light could have come from. It seemed to be a small light. And I have never seen any air craft that could have made the turns or moves this light made.

It seemed playfull to me. Don't ask me how I know that. I was not afraid.

I had heard of swamp gasses and things like that , can look like a object hoovering. But this light moved up and down very fast, and moved side to side in no obvious pattern. I am not suer if there is swears there, but its definetly not a swamp.

I also wondered if maybe there were tatonic plates moving that they say can cause lights. but the earth moving that i could feel in my truck. I never got out of my truck.

Like i said it seemed small. And i couldent figuer out why any craft would be making thouse type of turns and dives that it did. when it looked to be close to the ground, i did not see any illumanation of the field or grass.

very strange. Than it took off very fast north bound, and it was out of sight. like it eather took off so fast and dissapeared, or it turned the light off.

I don't no witch. (please excuse my spelling) When I got to my friends house, only a mile or 2 from the sighting, i told them i think i had my first ufo sighting. They laughed and brushed it off.

I tried to give them rational reasons for what I saw. I am 36 yrs old. I have known these people for 24 years.

They no me, and that i don't just tell storys or lie. I have seen what they call floters in my eyes befor I get a migraine. Its very normal to see thouse.

But this thing was def. out there at the corner of salt road and sweets corner road. I don't no what I saw, and would love an awnswer.

But I no there are not any easy awnswers out there.

Bright oval shaped object, flameing center, large tail, varying magnitude, moving across sky rapidly. I was gazing out towards the East horizon, a large bright object appeared like out of a dark veil from the south - east, at a low altitude, apox. 25 or 30 degrees above the horizon.

The object was oval shaped, laying horizontal, it's top side was bright, and bottom side was bright, the center front to back was like a white flame, not as bright as it's top and bottom. A bright comet tail followed the object, apox. ten times the length of the object.

The objects diameter was as large as a cargo plane (maybe two or three degrees across, 1.5 degrees from top to bottom). The object traveled from the south east to north east, that is, it changed bearing and from traveling north on the east horizon, to a north-east-north direction.

It vanished into another veil of darkness. My estimation of speed is that it traveled perhaps 1000 mp-minute. Based on a apox.

est of distance in feet, measured in time traveled. The event lasted about 6 seconds, taking a guess.

Strange Object in Photograph, Southwest Florida My wife were planning to go to the beach on New Year's Eve to take some photos of sunset. We grabbed the digicam and walked out the door. We had an amazing view of sunset from outside of our apartment so we took a few pictures.

I have a habit of snapping between 2 and 5 pictures in a quick duration just in case one is blurred or one doesn't come out. When we downloaded the pictures I commented that something must have been on my lens, but looking at the pictures, I realized this object was only in one photo of the set (taken within 10 second duration). There are sunlit clouds around but the object is framed in clear blue sky.

There is a metallic reflection on a disk shaped object. You can zoom in on it and it becomes even clearer. I am a 30-something biologist and I know this isn't a bird.

it wouldn't have left the frame that quickly anyway, neither would an aircraft. I would be willing to forward the photos. I would like a second opinion on what this could be.

((name deleted)) ((NUFORC Note: We have reviewed three photos submitted by the witness. There is a tiny, dark object in the second photo, but we cannot identify it. It may be a bird, but that is pure conjecture on our part.

We do not know what the object is, and it is too small for us to be able to determine unambiguously what it is. PD)).

There was 3 round circular objects, one was Red, they first appeared to be stars, it was 4:45 in the afternoon, there were no others. About 4:45 pm i was checking the air in my tires when i looked up and saw the moon, as it is out early this time of the year. There i saw what first appeared to be 3 stars, with one being red.

the Red one was about 3-4 inces away from the moon and the other 2 were about 1-2 inches away.I didn't think much of it right away, but i looked around and there were no other stars in the sky so that got me curious. The objects were a long way away, almost like they were even with the moon.

i scanned the sky again for other stars and still did not see any. The Red one seemed to move ever so slow, the the other two moved just a little, about this time my Son, who is in the Navy and is getting Married Saturday as he is on his way back off the coast of Iraq. he is stationed on board the U.

S.S. George Washington an aircraft carrier and he sees jet fighters all the time, they are suppose to leave around Jan 19th headed back off the coast of Iraq to provide air support for the troops he works hands on with the planes as he is an AO, Aviation Ordance man, loading the bombs on planes, he is used to seeing the best we have.

I asked him to take a look at the objects i saw, he first said they were stars, but after he saw them move a little he said , "Dad, those are not stars, they are moving around, by this time the Red one was about 6 inches away in the 8 o'clock position Using the Moon as the 12 O'Clock position, the other 2 were about 3 inches away in the 5 pm and 7 pm position, they would move a little then stop, move a little then stop, about 7 mins into the sitings the red one took off super fast.the other two were now in the 6pm and 9 pm position, there they stopped for what appeared to be a couple of mins, then they moved again but with a little more speed, in about 2 more mins they both took off super fast and that was the last we saw of them. There was nothing else in the sky.

I was a former Deputy sheriff, left there and went to work for the local Air Force base as a DOD worker and saw planes all the time at my work, i have never seen anything move in that type fashion and then leave in that speed.This is no joke and i would be interested in talking to any one that may have saw this that same day, this was New Years Eve, 12-31-2003. Others should have seen them as they were very high and appeared to be close to the moon.

The time was between 4:45 and 5 pm. I wish i had not had my head up by rear at the time as i have a new cell phone with picture capability, my dumb fault.

a white triangular object flying through the sky during the day on new years eve. Well I was sitting at the computer at about 2:35 est on new years eve, and I stood up to go get something to drink. When I stood up I stretched out alittle, while doing that I turned my head to look out the window that was right next to me and something caught my eye immediatly.

A white triangular object flying through the sky with what appeared to be a black circle on the the bottom of it. I only got a few seconds look at it because it went past the trees in from the woods in my neighbors house. It seemed to be moving fairly slow, and it was hard to tell exactly how big/far away it was but it seemed to be fairly big from the view I got from it.

My child caught a picture of a craft. My child took a digital camera into the hills to take pictures of animal life and caught an object on the corner of the camera. Top and bottom are of saucer shape, in the middle is a bright light.

There were two of them and my child thought that it was a couple of birds circling each other. The cloud formation was folowing the object that was captured on camera. The clouds, at first, were in a circular motion and dropped into the clouds which then came up through the clouds and headed right behind the object.

My child also told me that there was a strange sound coming from the object like a car screaching to a stop, but slightly different. My other child said that the sound was like a high pitch whistle. I will try and send a copy of the photo, but do not really know computers.

Hope it makes it.

A disk shaped copper colored object passed overhead as we were watching hawks flying above. The craft slowly flew past seemingly eratic at times like a bird might fly. It was mid day clear skies however there seemed to be a haze around the craft.

We watched the craft fly at a low altitude for a mile or more then ascend into the upper atmosphere until out of sight. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Silent balloon shaped object I observed craft move from north to south at 45 degree angle. It was silent, white in color, apparently several thousand feet altitude, fairly large, moving at 200 or so miles per hour. The silence was the unusual thing.

A balloon would make considerable noise, even at high altitude. And the craft was moving too fast for a balloon. As it got far past me to the south a notices that it rounded out in shape.

Red, Blue, & White Lights circle Stoney Creek/Rochester Area, Move North On the evening of 12/30/03 approximatly midnight, I looked out my window towards the north, towards Washington Township. I saw a red, blue, and white flashing lights in the air, circling the area to the north. The red & blue lights seemed to be flashing like the lights on a police car.

I watched the lights circle the area to the north around Stoney Creek for about 5 minutes, then I got my binoculars to get a better look. I was able to see three flashing red lights on the object along with an undetermined number of white and blue lights. I watched as the object flew to the west, towards Rochester.

As it flew to the west, I lost site of the object from my vantage point. I went to the west side of the house and was able to continue tracking the object as it flew in a circular pattern over Rochester for about 5 minutes. I then lost site of the object behind some trees for the next 10 minutes.

The object reappeared and flew south turned around and flew to the north, at which point I lost track of it. The object seemed to be moving about the speed that a helicopter would fly, but made no sound. The entire event lasted about 30 minutes.

My backgound is: 24 years old, physics graduate student, never have done any drugs and don't drink alcohol. Until now, I have never seen anything flying that a could not explain.
