Location: Fort Sumner, New Mexico
Shape: Light
Duration: A few seconds

My sleep was interrupted by a bright light above my garage. At first I thought it must have been some kids messing around with a light. I looked outside and the light had gone and there were no kids around. Just as I was about to turn around I saw a bright white light zoom into the sky from behind the garage. It chucked up lots of dust as it went up but was silent. It was about the size of a football.

A large grouping of round objects that were traveling towards the northwest . The objects would disappear and reappear within 20 to 30 second intervals . We thought they were a bunch of silver balloons tethered together but they would break apart from one another and then regroup . They were much too high to be birds and were round in shape . We followed them by car several miles north and watched as they reversed direction and began traveling back towards the southeast . Then as suddenly as they appeared they disappeared.

Santa Barbara, California - 4/8/09

Reported: 4/9/2009 8:37:55 AM 08:37
Posted: 4/14/2009
Location: Santa Barbara, California
Shape: Unknown
Duration: 5 minutes

It seemed like it was in orbit but was way too big to be the space station. It was moving towards the WNW over Santa Barbara, CA at a constant rate and was orange in color. It also appeared that small whitish specs were falling off the sides at irregular intervals. At least 3 planes were visible at the time to compare for size and shape, and this was not a plane.

Location: Toledo, Ohio
Shape: Circle
Duration: 5 mins

I am a truck driver for UPS and I pull doubles from Richfield, Ohio to Chicago, Illinois.

At 9:55 pm while going west on Route 80 which is the Ohio Turnpike, 28 miles west of Toledo on a clear night with a full moon I saw a large bright light that was stationary and about 2,000 feet up in the northwest sky.

It hovered for about 4-5 minutes and in a blink of an eye it was gone. The UFO looked round in shape and had only 1 big bright light.

Very bright solid gold flash in the shape of an oval or disc, streaked across the sky as I drove north on Highway 41 in Bonita Springs, FL around 10pm on 4/8/09. It too was traveling north.

It was quite low, maybe 200 yards high, and moved at an incredible rate of speed.

4 Triangular objects hovering over Eastern University

Occurred: 4/8/2009 22:50 (Entered as : 4/8/2009 22:50)
Reported: 4/9/2009 10:14:51 PM 22:14
Posted: 4/14/2009
Location: St. Davids, Pennsylvania
Shape: Triangle
Duration: 13

Tonight, at 10:50pm, April 9th, 2009, on Eastern University's campus, in St. Davids, Pa, while walking into the Doane entrance I saw a triangular object moving above the trees a couple blocks behind Doane Hall, and as it descended many police sirens went off. Then, walking past the gym from the pathway from Doane Hall, noticed a very bright orange light shining through the trees. As I walked past the gym toward the soccer field I saw the object flying toward me. While walking through the middle of the soccer field it flew above me. While that object was directly above me, I saw the different but same type of object flying in the distance toward me from another direction, It was much farther away from me, but still close enough to see its size in relation to the previous one. From my eyes, it was in the direction of the lower corner of the University parallel to the main entrance at Eagle Road. It flew in direction parallel to King of Prussia Road. After I crossed the soccer field towards my residence at Kea Guffin Hall, I walked toward the back parking lot of Kea, and as I was walking up the hill, another object flew over the trees, and over Kea Hall about 80 degrees above me. I tried to take a picture of it with my cell, but the resolution was to low for the lights to be seen. The duration of this sighting lasted 13 minutes. I witnessed 4 objects in total.

These four objects were triangular in shape. There was a full moon out tonight (or what seemed to be), and in relation to how close to the ground these objects flew compared to the size of the moon, the size of the object was of equal or a little larger than the moon tonight. These objects had 7 lights. In the middle, there was a red light, and at each point of the triangle there was one, as well as two between the front light and the two side lights.

This is the first time I have seen unidentified objects that close to me, they couldn't have been over 300 feet above me. It was spectacular. Oddly enough, I wasn't scared, but felt calm and at peace.

((NUFORC Note: We spoke via telephone with this witness, and he sounded to us to be a quite sincere person. We would welcome reports from other witnesses. PD))

My two friends and I saw a triangular formation of lights in the sky and when we went to video tape them, they simply disappeared

Occurred: 4/9/2009 02:00 (Entered as : 04/09/09 2:00)
Reported: 4/13/2009 9:36:35 PM 21:36

Location: Mount Vernon, Washington
Shape: Triangle
Duration: 4 seconds

At 2:00 a.m. on April 9, 2009, my two friends and I were leaving to pick up another friend when one of my friends noticed a weird formation of lights in the sky.

He said that he had never seen them before and asked us if we had. We said that we hadn't. The 6 or 7 lights appeared to be moving slowly, but staying in the same general area. We all took out our cell phones to videotape the lights, but they disappeared before we could get zoomed in. The lights simply "turned off".

The lights were too high in the sky to be from a building or tower and they moved too much.

For the next few days, I searched the internet for similar sightings and found this website where there was a video of the exact same formation of lights.

Melbrook, New York - 4/9/09

Occurred: 4/9/2009 03:20 (Entered as : 4/9/09 03:20)

Location: Melbrook, New York
Shape: Other
Duration: 15 seconds

At approx 3:20am at the UPS FREIGHT parking lot, another driver and I, were talking on our way to our trucks, when a light about 400 feet above slowly passed by it was v-shaped, but the front was more u shaped, the light was super bright but did not project any light.

There were no blinking lights. If I even thought it could be a plane I would not bother writing, there was no noise at all, it was not a falling meteor I see them a lot and know what they look like.

They are located on Kneelytown Road. When I go into work tonight, I will bring a compass and find out for sure what direction it was moving,

Bright White/Chrome Cylinder against Carolina Blue clear sky.

Occurred: 4/9/2009 08:12 (Entered as : 04092009 8:12)
Reported: 4/9/2009 6:23:47 AM 06:23
Posted: 4/14/2009
Location: Charlotte, North Carolina
Shape: Cylinder
Duration: about 6 minutes

I stepped outside for some air and right there when I looked up was a White/Chrome Cylinder up in the air. It was just North of where I was and it was at least 30,000 ft up and that guess is based off commercial air traffic that was passing through. It could have been higher up, but I couldn't determine the size of it to gauge height.

It was slowly moving from North to South and either Spinning or Wobbling. Definitely was a Cylinder shape, and standing straight on end. After 30 Seconds of watching it it move about 14inches across sky in about 3 seconds. (Both Arms Extended Pointing, the Distance Between) That put it @ my 1200 slightly West of me.

I ran inside and got a Co-worker to come and look. When we returned it was still moving South and at about my 1100. A Commercial Liner was passing by it when we returned. Within 4 inches @ arms length, the Liner appeared roughly 30,000-40,000. The Cylinder was about 1/3 the size of the Plane.

It continued to move South Wobbling or Spinning, it just looked slightly distorted. It finally stopped @ our 1000 and just kind of stayed there, stopped for 20 Seconds or so, as 2 other Commercial Liners passed close by. Then it just started slowly Wobbling/Spinning due East. It seemed to Fade in and out when it was moving, but it was perfectly visible when still.

It eventually just disappeared.

Total Sighting time-6 minutes-0812 to 0818-it was a clear blue xky with a little haze way off to our south.

Rotating Cylindrical object passes overhead.

Reported: 4/9/2009 1:17:15 PM 13:17
Posted: 4/14/2009
Location: Charlotte, North Carolina
Shape: Cylinder
Duration: 5-7 minutes

While at work, my partner stepped outside to take a break. Approx. 5 min. later ran in and asked me to come outside.

When I stepped out onto the porch, he pointed to a Silver or White cylinder shaped object in the sky just North of our location moving at approx. 20 knots to the South. Judging the altitude to be about 30-40,000 feet based on several passenger planes that were flying over at the time. (I am not a big UFO watcher and somewhat skeptical, but today's sighting for me was the FIRST time I clearly saw an object that I knew wasn't a typical aircraft and for all intent and purposes shouldn't have been able to do what it did.)

While watching the cylinder, it continued South in a counter clockwise rotation or wobble until turning East and then disappearing after about another minute.

UFO between clouds

Occurred: 4/9/2009 20:13 (Entered as : 04/09/2009 20:13)
Reported: 4/10/2009 5:50:59 PM 17:50

Location: Lake Worth, Florida
Shape: Oval
Duration: 2 minutes

4/9/09 8.12 pm I went out to the parking lot to look at the stars. I looked SW then I turn right, and when I look to the north a long, transparent and camouflaged for the blue tone of the sky was moving very slowly. Extending my arm the UFO was the size of my hand.

It was oval and long, wider in the center. The UFO kept going from the north to south and then made a very soft turn south, then turned to the west and disappeared. I went out at 8.30 and I saw the same shape coming from the SW and made a left turn, went north and then a left turn west and disappeared, all what I can see is the shape and the borders blending with the sky. It was a blue sky with a kind of fog and the shape was between the upper and lower part of the "cloud"
