Spheres of light over local municipal airport

Occurred: 4/1/2009 01:15 (Entered as : 04/01/09 1:15)

Location: Boulder, Colorado
Shape: Sphere
Duration: ongoing

I was relaxing having a cigarette not 100 yards from my house near a playground and looked up to look at the constellations. Since I live near the Boulder Municipal Airport when I saw two orbiting red spherical objects (they were orbiting each other) over in the west of where I live (which is slightly to the west of the airport) I called the police non-emergency line. As the phone was ringing I saw a slight flash of green come from the east. A solitary green sphere was floating right over where the airport is emitting occasional bursts of light. As I watched the three orb/spheres I told the police what was going on. Then I saw something I knew I should not tell them. The green orb detached two smaller green orbs that chased the two red orbs off to the north. When I went inside to email this off, the large green orb was still there. All the time there were aircraft passing by at normal flight altitudes but what I found disconcerting was the fact that I could not hear the trains I normally hear this time of night going by on the tracks just under half a mile away.

So you know, I am a firm believer in UFOs and have twice before seen them but never this many in a single sitting, it has always been silver doughnut shaped UFOs before now and in pairs. Anyway I am a student and a retail sales person who is between jobs and schools. If you are wondering why I list a California address that is my permanent address and the address I live at now I am here for only a few more weeks. The address in Boulder at which this happened is xxxx..., Boulder, CO

Triangle UFO in Frankfort Illinois

Occurred: 4/1/2009 18:50 (Entered as : 04/01/2009 18:50)
Reported: 4/2/2009 10:38:11 AM 10:38
Posted: 4/14/2009
Location: Frankfort, IL
Shape: Triangle
Duration: 2 hours

I was in Frankfort, Illinois (suburb of Chicago) Me, my fiance and my friend Ashley were driving down US 30 and we saw strange lights in the sky. We stopped at the stop sign and watched the lights turn into a bright red (the 3 corners were at least) Triangle with a red light off the side. As we were watching it it would turn directions while the triangle maintained its shape.

At 6:55 pm I called Frankfort, IL 911 they said that there was multiple calls regarding the sightings.

So I did the only thing I could, as I had no camera besides my camera phone which was not a very good at taking clear picture. So I started driving towards the UFO to get a better shot from a closer distance. After 30 miles we were into Indiana and the UFO was just a little too far out of Camera Range.

While we were driving towards Indiana There was a lot of people sitting on the side of the road taking pictures. I never stopped to get any numbers and I would love to be able to contact those people.

As we were driving into Indiana. The lights dimmed down as we saw 6 lights coming out of the south the strobe colors on the new lights were RED WHITE AND BLUE and they were fast movers. I think they were the air force because they circled the area for over an hour. I called all of my friends and family that were in the area and they went outside to look but they were too far away at the time. I also called channel 2, 5, & 7 news and they said that they would look into it through the police blotters. I left my number and so far I haven't gotten a call back.

But I'm hoping that someone comes forward with pictures or videos that we can submit to the UFO hunters or the news.

I never got a good picture of the Craft but we saw the objects for over 2.5 hours. The lights on the craft would switch from red to a bright orange about an half inch wide in the sky which is pretty big. there is no way this could be an airplane or a weather balloon or flares, because the lights would go out for a while then go back to a higher intensity and change color but it always kept the same formation. I lived outside of a air force base and have seen a lot of different aircraft flying and I have never seen anything like it. It reminded me of the '05 Tinley Park, IL sightings (which I saw too after my friend called me to look outside) If anyone has any pictures or videos please submit them. I am sorry I don't have any pictures but I will review the video some more and see if there is anything good on it.

Thank you

Bright twinkling light with no colors flew with unusual pattern including a short curve and blinked out

Duration: 30 seconds

I was out in my friends back yard looking up at the moon. We see many planes flying over our town on their way east from Sky Harbor, Phoenix.

I saw a bright sparkling light going toward the Southeast and passing quite close to the crescent moon. I kept watching it waiting to see the telltale blinking lights we see on all the planes. It continued and seemed to almost pause and the light was like a rotating crystal effect.

I called my friend to come out cause I knew this was not a plane. As she started looking up the light faded and blinked out.

The whole episode was about 30 seconds.

I have watch many, many planes fly over and this was not any type plane I have ever seen.

Following a Triangular UFO

Location: Frankfort Square, Illinois
Shape: Triangle
Duration: Aprox. 1:30

I was debating whether or not to report this because of the date of the sighting. However I feel like it is important to report what occurred.

I was on my way back to my girlfriends house after her, myself and our two friends went to a local store in Orland Park. She rode with our two friends and I drove by myself.

I should mention a little about our background. I'm a student at a local college as is my girlfriend. My friend is the General Manager of a restaurant and his fiancée is a student also.

I arrived at her house in Frankfort Square before they did so I waited in my car for them to arrive. As I was waiting, I received a call from my friend who was driving the car my girlfriend and his fiancée were in. He told me to drive to St Francis Road and turn east towards Harlem Ave. He said that there was a huge triangular object in the sky and I should be able to see it. I immediately did just as he said and the was a large triangular object in the sky.

There were three lights on the object on each point and they appeared to be changing colors from red and blue constantly. The lights were far enough in the distance that the shape was not clearly visible but when the lights moved, they stayed the same brightness and appeared to be equidistant from each other. The object appeared at times to be pointing downward and then it would appear to turn and be pointing up or to the side.

I told my friend that I saw it and we decided to see how close we could get to it. We decided to drive south on Harlem to Rt. 30 and head east. Two other cars appeared to have noticed it as they pulled over and were taking pictures on their phones. I got out my small video camera and attempted to record the object but it would not appear on my camera. I kept the camera rolling however to at least capture the audio of our conversation. My friend called both 911 and NBC5 news to report what we were seeing.

My car got separated from theirs and they got close enough to the object where my girlfriend and my friends fiancée were both almost in tears because they were scared. They followed Rt. 30 to Indiana and when they got to the city of Dyer, IN, they reported that they had gotten really close to the object and then it disappeared. By this time I was about 5 miles behind them and I could see the object clearly as a solid triangular object. However when I got close to it, the object also appeared to just flicker out.

I caught up with them in a parking lot in Scherriville, IN where my girlfriend got in the car with me and showed me some pictures she had taken on her phone. Only a single light was visible on all of her photos. As we talked in the parking lot about what had just occurred, my friends fiancée said that she "got a weird feeling that if we keep going east we will see it again." I looked at her and my friend and said that we should probably head back home because I got a bad feeling about her last statement. However, my friend decide that maybe they should keep going east towards Merriville, IN.

Well they decided to keep going east on Rt. 30 and my girlfriend and I decided to head north on Indianapolis Boulevard. We stopped at a bookstore so I could try to relax after what just happened. About 3 minutes after we had stopped at the bookstore, my friend's fiancée called my girlfriend crying saying that the object did in fact 'reappear' and it looked "a lot more menacing." I told my girlfriend that I wanted to talk to my friend so she handed me the phone and I had his fiancée put me on the phone with him. He sounded kind of scared and he told me that he yelled at the object and the lights appeared to "flare up". I kept talking to him as I went outside with my girlfriend and we saw the object to the south east. It appeared that there were one or two aircraft flying in the area of the object. I cannot say if they were commercial or military. I do know they were apparently circling and were flying pretty fast.

My girlfriend and I got in my car and we drove south down Indianapolis Boulevard back to RT. 30 and headed east. I called another one of my friends from Valparaiso, IN to tell him what was going on and to keep a lookout because it appeared to be heading his way as my girlfriend talked to my other friends fiancée. They decided to turn around about half way to Merriville, IN. We followed the object to I65 in Merriville where the object vanished. We went home after that and my girlfriend was talking to my friends fiancée on the way home and all she kept saying was that she kept "wanting to look up". We did notice that the aircraft that were circling the area were still there as we drove home on I80.

The whole event lasted about an hour and a half. It was first noticed at about 8 :00 PM.

It almost looked like a flying ferris wheel with red and white blinking lights around the edges, it was spinning and moving very fast.

Shape: Disk

I was walking my dog and I looked up at the sky. It was dark so the object stood out well. It seemed to be a disc shaped object flying much faster than a normal aircraft across the sky. It had red and white blinking lights around the edges and a smaller light in the center. It seemed to be lying on its side, almost. It looked like a small flying ferris wheel to me. It was also spinning as it flew. It was very fast, it shot through the sky and was gone.

Triangle shaped flying object over Royal Palm Beach, Florida

Location: Royal Palm Beach, Florida
Shape: Formation
Duration: 10-15 seconds

My husband and I were in our hot tub in the backyard as we do every night, and as I looked to the south sky to star gaze I saw a triangle shaped craft with 3 long rectangles on it. We couldn't tell exactly how high it was because the object appeared very large. It was definitely above the clouds, almost seeming as if it was going in and out of the clouds.

It traveled from due south to due north. Not making any sound at all, strangely quiet.

This object also seemed transparent, the rectangles being the darkest parts. Grey/metallic in color. This object had no lights on it.

It took a total of about 12 seconds to cross the entire sky.
