Virginia UFO Sightings in 2001

Full Report Text:

A strange object hovered in the sky for approximately 10 minutes with a bright white light that pulsed fery slowly. UFO hoovered @ approximately 10,000 feet up. Bright white light would pop on for approximately 2 minutes, then would slowly fade out, it did this repeatedly.

After about 10 minutes of hovering in one place, it began to rise further into the sky, in a zig-zag motion, then took off at the rate of speed planes normally appear to be flying.

It was quiet but it moving slowly across the sky. It was a clear night and my family just got home and I looked up at the sky to see the stars and noticed a large moving craft going slowly across the sky.There wasn't any sound but it didn't look like an airplane it was like a bus in the sky without wings.

two bright blinking lights As I was driving home at about 10:20 pm I noticed two bright blinking lights in the south west section of the sky. The lights were too far away from each other to be on one airplane but they seemed connected to each other. The lights seemed to move sort of erratically around and it seemed that the distance between them would vary.

This lasted for about two minutes then they got too far away to see. I recall the lights being red, white and maybe green and there was no noise. It all happend too quickly to remember exactly what it looked like but it was vary strange.

Fast glowing disc through the early morning sky. My dog noticed it first, he was looking up at the sky and backing up, so I looked up; there was a disc shaped object zig-zagging across the sky from East to West, so I yelled for my boyfriend. My boyfriend said it looked like a glowing football, I thought it looked like a disc.

I was very fast and it seemed like it was producing it's own light. It made no sound and left no trail of itself being there. The sky had a few cirrus clouds, the majority of the sky was clear.

There was only one and I could see it until it met the the line of trees that border the horizon, it continued to glow the entire time.

I saw 5 cigar shaped crafts in a V formation with lights. When I was getting lunch this afternoon, I heard a slight whistling/whining sound coming from outside of my house. I looked out onto the street and saw nothing.

When I looked in the air, however, I saw 5 cigar shaped craft. All of them were heading west and were in a V type formation. There were 2 lights emitted from the crafts at each end and they were flashing on and off.

They were all going at a fairly fast pace and kept the same pace through the entire sighting. When I was about to pull out my camera, they pulled up and started to go faster and faster until they vanished. ((NUFORC Note: No other reports from this individual's grade-school.

PD)).

Unseen object, ,effects felt. I was in bed and I couldn't sleep so rather than keeping mu boyfriend up, I went to try to sleep on the couch. I was sitting on the couch with my eyes closed and I was not asleep.

I heard a humming sound that grew louder and all of the sudden the room was filled with white light. I couldn't pinpoint the source of the light and the humming seemed to be everywhere, not just coming from one direction. This lasted for about a minute before I was able to get up and look outside.

When I did look outside the light was gone. I told my boyfriend about this and he told me a about a time about 20 years ago when his sister lived up in a hollar just above his house. She called him late one night, she was crying and her children were crying also.

She told him to come up there because there was a spaceship (her exact word) hovering above her house. This is a very mountainous region of Virginia and I don't know if anybody else saw anything or not. I'm looking forward to the next update on your page to see if anybody else reported anything.

Personal note to the NUFORC staff. This story was relayed by my mother-in-law and, as you can see, I told the story in the first person to make it more understandable.

It was around 4:00 or so early sunday morning, I was on the roof of my apartment watching the meteor showers. From where i was sitting the meteors were striking from left to right (I don't know if it makes a difference). Anyway, from the right of the sky appeared an object (it looked like two diamonds a little off-centered) comming from right to left at about half to 3/4 the speed of the meteors.

After it reached about 1/2 the way across the sky it split into 2 objects, they stayed at an equal distance from each other and continued across the sky. Ok.now i know some might say it was probably a meteor.

But this had no trail, you could distinctly see that it was 2 diamond like objects. ((NUFORC Note: If it was Sunday morning on the day of the Leonid meteor shower, the date would have been November 18. We have amended the date here.

PD)).

AGAINST A CLEAR SKY A DISC CAN BE SEEN ---- I HAVE A PICTURE ((NUFORC Note: We will request a copy of the photo. PD)).

Full Report Text:

Ball of light moves over heads of people in traffic - appears to head toward the ground but no sign of crash evident. Heading south on Quaker Lane in the City of Alexandria at approximately 5:30 p.m.

on Wednesday November 7, 2001. Stopped at a traffic light when object moved over us on a North - South trajectory. The object appeared to be a ball of light, and looked as though it was less than a mile over our heads.

As it moved southward it curved toward the ground, and I instinctively looked for a sign of impact as we were on a hill and should have seen something. We saw no impact. The object simply curved toward the ground and disappeared.

Both observers are in professional occupations with advanced degrees. Visibility was excellent - at least five miles from the hill on which we were stopped to hills in Fairfax County.

Star flashing red, green and amber Every clear night since about 11-01-01, I have seen this "star" rise underneath the constellation Casseopia (about 30 degrees under and slightly west of it). I am a am a nightly sky watcher and I suddenly noticed this new star which caught my eye due to the bright magnitude. It's brighter than any nearby stars in that part of the sky.

It is white and something about it just looks different, it appears to me to be slightly flashing but totally white. When I look through the binoculars, I am definitely seeing 3 colors flashing: green, red and amber. It rises like a star throughout the evening as if it's moving with the earths rotation.

I look through the binoculars at other objects that I know to be stars to see if maybe I am getting the colors through some kind of distortion but the other stars are all white. One evening, there was 2 of the objects about the same height in the sky and about 30 degrees between them. Also, always in conjunction with this star rising, I see lots of little white flashes flickering here and there in the vicinity of the star.

One night, there were 8 flashes that all went off pretty much simultaneously, like flashbulbs popping but not with that amount of brightness, and it was almost like they were communicating. One other interesting point, I looked up in my star maps and there is no star of that magnitude located underneath Casseopia. I know stars twinkle but they don't change colors.

I don't know what to make of this and think that I can't be the only person seeing this. Hopefully, someone else will write in and confirm my sighting. ((NUFORC Note: Object may be the star, "Sirius.

" PD)).

A Black triangle or diamond loudly whistling at sub-sonic speed 50-100 ft. above ground. no engine noise.

A black or very dark triangle or diamond shaped object(blurred by sheer speed & low altitude). In my yard in Blue Ridge Mts. 1st I heard the sound of something very unaerodynamic whistling through the air from behind me.

One cat ducks, another dives under the S.U.V.

I look up just in time to see what's described above. Sighting lasted only 1/2 second as it flew just above treetops followed by complete silence. No rumble of a B-2 Stealth engine nor any sound of crashing into woods.

Direction, E to W.

Two red lights, flying in a circular pattern with several repetitions over a period of at least a half hour. Two objects, rectangular in shape, were flying in a semi-circular pattern. I was only able to distinguish them once they were going away from me.

I guess looking at the back end, I could see a bright red light, and only the light. The light didn't blink, but just faded in and out over time. I couldn't see the whole flight because trees behind my house blocked the whole view.

But I did see the back end of the pattern four times before I went inside my house. There were several minutes between sightings. I could also hear a low rumbling, almost like a jet engine, but it was constant, never really fading too much as the object went away, and didn't really get louder as it came close.

I don't know if this was "alien" but I don't know what it is.

We hope all is well with our ufo friends and hope to see them again one day.

Once again, as before, same lights, no noise, flat lights -no glare.

Full Report Text:

I don't know these people. We are not friends. I don’t mean to be rude, but I’ve been harassed about the UFO issue for quite some time.

I lived in Washington, DC and attended a top law school. I have narcolepsy I, and I have severe sleep disturbances. One night, a group of men appearing to be military climbed through a window into my apartment on about the eighth floor across from the Army Navy country club.

The entered the window and kneeled, while another entity presumably supposed to be an “alien” entered the window. It was a scary entity and leaned over me, choking me and appeared to change phase from a human form to an electric current. It held the expression of what looked like “The Scream” painting famous in popular culture.

I remember one of the military members wore a ski mask and flashed a code of arms. The code of arms appeared to be foreign, but I can’t determine whether or not the military members were American or foreign. I have a friend who listens to popular radio, and suggested they might have been the “alien greys.

” All of this was extremely amusing, but my narcolepsy worsened after the incident, and my health declined rapidly. I was forced to leave law school, and I was arrested twice for petty misdemeanor crimes. Even though I did not really engage in criminal behavior and could not drink alcohol with my narcolepsy medication.

This didn’t seem like a UFO experience at all in my opinion. It looked like a prank or a joke since I’m a somewhat intelligent, young female in DC. I graduated from a high school, where strangers harass students (e.

g., flashers, strange harassments at home, etc.).

We are forced to ignore the harassment. In my case, I got really sick though, and I had to recover gradually taking menial jobs that were below my level of expertise. Only because my narcolepsy was extremely bad, I gained 120 pounds, and I went to several different doctors in a variety of different specialties to see what I needed to do physically.

I suffer from hair pulling and some OCD after the incident now, so I’m probably not the best witness to testify. I just keep going, hoping someone determines who is harassing us. My instincts told me it WAS American.

The coat of arms was either foreign or related to a branch of the military. I was harassed at home about ten years later after telling this story to people for years as a joke. A former military member and local judge tried to extort money from me using his girlfriend.

I have no idea who these people are, and after reporting it, they are pretending it is some type of military operation. I wake up in other locations all of the time after going to bed, but I always end up in my final spot at home where I began. I do have narcolepsy, so I think that might have been an impetus to harass me as if aliens were after me or as if I were abducted by aliens.

The “alien” did try to choke me instituting a cardiac arrest. I often wake up lying down and it feels like I’m flying. My hope is that maybe someone has discovered a way to promote long distance travel, because you could do so theoretically by instituting the cardiac arrest and then freezing the body at subzero temperatures.

That discovery would be a cool thing to come out of this. The most obvious explanation to me is that I might have been a potential litigant in a law suit. I worked in the legal field.

I cannot confirm this detail however. I have also worked in security professionally. Now, for some reason, there are about ten songs on mass radio distribution that appear to be my work from my car studi! o.

I have not been paid for writing the songs in mass distribution, and I'm not involved. It sounds like more harassment. I am not aware of any lawsuit I would have been a part of that would have challenged the military though, and I wanted to finish law school, even with narcolepsy, hearing, and vision impediments.

When I woke up the next day, my cat was struggling to hang onto me and was trying to calm me down in a really bizarre fashion. I've never experienced that from an animal before. Lately, someone is pretending a series of events that occurred to me in 2005 are happening now.

They're pretending they did not occur in San Antonio, Texas (Alamo Heights). They are pretending what I contended happened is occurring now for some reason. I can still hear my songs on radio play, but have not been compensated.

Sorry if I don't sound more reliable, but you can finish law school with a hearing impediment. This was just stupid, and I have no idea what started it. I'! ll ignore and continue on.

I don't need psychiatric assistanc! e, thank you. It's just narcolepsy I. Respectfully submitted,.

Full Report Text:

Circular object offwhite in color, emiting no sound traveling at supersonic speed. Standing on my deck, looking to the Northeast when I notiticed at about 45 t0 60 degrees off the horizon a Circular object. At first I thought it was a Plane of some sort but then I noticed it didn't omit any sound.

The object passed by so quickly that I estimate that it was maybe 3500 to 4000 feet high. It may have been a lot higher but I'm not really sure about that. The Object was circular, solid in appearance but without any distinct markings.

It almost resembled the color of a cloud.( offwhite) The object I feel was going supersonic speed because it was out of sight in no time at all, headed in a Northeast direction. When I first noticed the object, it was about the size of maybe a nickle or a quarter from my perspective.

as it traveled to the Northeast, it rapidly decreased in size rapidly until I lost it over the Horizon. There were no clouds in the shy,just a beautiful evening. This is the first time that I ever noticed anything like this and I tell you that I was really taken back in awe about the event.

Could it have been a Satilite, I don't know since the sighting was in daylight.

Full Report Text:

shaped like a stealth bomber (boomerang like, but more triangluar) flat-black in color, made a deep humming sound either really low to the ground flying really slow, or it was huge and really high in the air. no blinking lights or anything, it was hard to see really. i did a double take when i first saw it because i didnt put 2 and 2 together when i looked up hearing it.

it was so dark that it almost looked like a coincidental shape from the area where clouds were missing. but it moved across the sky. when i saw it (near overhead) it took a minute or maybe two minutes to move far enough away that it couldnt be distinguished.
