Danville, Virginia UFO Sightings in 2014

Full Report Text:

White light descends quickly ~10nm away from aircraft, both pilots spot it I am a student pilot who, on the 24th, just after sunset, took off from KDAN (Danville Regional Airport) in Danville. VA, with my instructor, and flew southeast, possibly towards the town of Milton, for ten or so minutes. Aircraft flown was a PA28-181 Archer III under VFR.

We continued flight for about a minute after leveling off at around 3500 feet MSL. Off the front of the aircraft, possibly around ten or so miles out, both my instructor and I saw what appeared to be a white light descending quickly (~1000' per second) for a period of about two seconds. It appeared to be transitioning through the same altitude as our aircraft.

After two seconds had passed, it flared out as would ash from a cigarette falling to the floor. The skies were dark at the time so it was easy to see. It was not clear if it had flared out before making contact with the ground, or if it had disappeared into the trees.

It may have either fallen somewhere in North Carolina, or on the NC/VA border. As for the light itself, it appeared to be a pure white color, nonchanging. From what I could tell, it didn't appear to be completely circular - I have vision corrected to 20/20 with glasses, but my eyes could have been playing tricks on me when it came to the shape of the object, due to flaws in observation or due to the fact that it was a ways out.

My instructor called it "round.".

Extremely large, quiet, triangle shaped UFO cpotted in Pittsylvania County, VA. At approximately 11:30 p.m.

while stargazing for the Camelopardalid meteor shower, I noticed a light moving into my line of sight. The UFO was moving NNW to SE at a steady pace. I would not necessarily have thought UFO, but several things struck me as odd: Firstly the size.

The UFO appeared to be HUGE. I have no standard of comparison for something in the sky, however, this was much bigger than any plane or helicopter that I've seen in my experience. The only other conclusion I could come to is that it was flying low, but even still that wouldn't explain the sound, the hushed blowing sound that accompanied it.

There was barely any sound to it, like when you run a clothes dryer with a load of towels. (Sorry, just using things I can compare it to here!) I looked up videos of B2s at night and flight shows just in case I may have seen one of those for some reason and the lighting doesn't resemble what the videos show, although the shape is similar. As for lights, there were 4, 2 on each wing tip, 1 white, 1 red.

Unfortunately, I had a camera set up facing north for the meteor shower, and had my phone on my person at the time - once I saw the object I stood transfixed. I felt unable to move or even think. I'm not sure if I was just startled by the size of the UFO or what.

White Lights no sound January 8, 2014 On January 6 at 10:15 P.M. I stepped outside to have a cigarette; as soon as I opened the door I saw bright white lights almost directly above me.

The craft was traveling East at about 400-500 feet and moving at around 40 miles an hour. The strange thing I immediately noticed was there was no sound coming from the craft. No Doppler effect from Jet engines, no prop sounds.

The craft had several white lights on steady and one slow flashing light on the back. I could not see any on the front. Most of the air craft I see are high fly jets, moving North to South or further to the East from South to North.

This craft was heading East. We do have fighter jets that every once and awhile heading to Smyth Mountain Lake Damn on (from what we have heard) bomber training. The shake the house and you can hear them for miles after.

Last night I stepped outside again at 9:30 and the craft was there again. This time further away but heading East and at the same altitude. I watched until it was at the horizon through the trees, then it headed South.

I didn’t put it together at the time, but the first I saw the craft I cam back inside and told my wife. She has had some health issues lately but, nothing to bad, but it keeps me on edge. About one half hour after telling her, she sat forward in her chair and held her head.

I asked her if she was OK. She told me she felt light headed and her stomach felt queezy. As she was telling me, my head started feeling light and my stomach felt like I was on a roller coaster.

The symptoms went away with 10 minutes. Last night as the lights faded away I was getting ready to go back inside and my lips started to tingle, my head felt a little light and my stomach felt a little strange. I am not a believer in UFO’s from other planets, I do believe in government black ops.

The hardest thing I have a hard time with is that there was no sound at all. I know it wasn’t a blimp as I’ve heard those before. It wasn’t a plane or jet.

I could make out any shape, besides what looked like a tail of a plane. The white light had a strange appearance, almost a glow more that light. It didn’t spin or make any strange movments.
