New York - Fast moving light

DARIEN CENTER -- Several people had three sightings of the same object in a 15-minute period in southern sky on September 10, 2004. The craft was traveling at high-speed westward at 10:15 PM. It dropped in elevation from 30 degrees to 20 degrees, and rapidly turned back toward the east, and faded away. The second sighting occurred five minutes later, and a similar object was again sighted in the southern sky at 40 degrees in elevation, moving very fast toward the west, and faded out. It maintained the same elevation with an azimuth scanned of about 45 degrees from start to finish. The third sighting was observed five minutes later, but nearly overhead, traveling very fast toward the south. The elevation spanned was about 60 degrees. This time the object was noticeably brighter but made no noise, and did not change color. It appeared as a point of off-white light, and slightly yellow or gold colored. Each sighting duration was 3-4 seconds. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/

New Jersey - Flying Triangle

VOORHEES -- At 4:25 AM, on September 16, 2004, the witness was sitting in his living room and saw an object flying over the tree line that looked like a *backward" triangle. The flat base of the triangle in the front and the point in the rear was moving WSW. There were three large red lights, one in each corner of the triangle as well as a slow pulsing white light on the bottom. It was cloudy and when the light pulsed on the bottom the clouds directly over the object lit up white as well. The witness states, "I went out on the balcony to get a better look and there was no sound coming from it." "This was nothing like I had ever seen. I immediately awakened my wife to tell her about it. She insisted that I report it. I was so shaken after seeing the object that I was unable to sleep at all until the next evening. The witness lives about 20 minutes from the Philadelphia International airport so he sees planes frequently." Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/

Pennsylvania - Y Shaped White/Silver Craft

ZELIENOPLE - The witness reports, "We were traveling northbound on Interstate 79 north of Pittsburgh at 4:45 PM, on September 6, 2004,in heavy traffic and we spotted a Y shaped white/silver craft above the tree line west of the highway." At first we thought it was some sort of remote controlled airplane because it was making unbelievable circular maneuvers. However, it was too large to be radio controlled. Also, the Y shape was unlike any aircraft I have ever seen. The air show lasted for less than 20 seconds before we lost sight of the craft. Later, towards the Zelienople exit, we saw the same craft traveling in a straight pattern at a high rate of speed heading east toward the Evan City. The craft was 45 degrees above the horizon about 1/2 inch in length. My boyfriend was surprised at the speed and size of this craft. After we got home I had my son age 13, my boyfriend and myself draw a picture of what we saw. We compared pictures. Each was Y-shaped - similar to a Mercedes Automobile Logo, Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/

Maine - Flying Triangle

LEWISTON -- It was about 11 PM, on September 15, 2004, as the witness walked to his car, he heard a noise similar to a plane and saw a low flying black object behind his house. He noticed there were no red lights flashing and the three corners were lit up in a regular light color and in the middle a light was beaming down. There was a deep weird sound, that didn't sound like a plane. He states, "I felt like I was in a movie." Behind my house is probably about 4-5 miles of forest and hills. I honestly believe that it was one (a UFO). Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/

North Carolina - Rectangle

CHARLOTTE - A large rectangle shaped UFO was seen floating over I-85 approaching the UNC Charlotte campus on September 17, 2004, during heavy rush hour traffic. The observer says, "I was going about 15 mph at 5:05 PM, and saw in the sky ahead of me about 1/2 mile away a large gray rectangle." I estimate its length as long as a football field. It was gray with panels that were somewhat reflective. It floated motionless and then drifted to the right. I lost sight of it behind the tree line as I drove along. I removed my sunglasses and watched it for ten seconds. As I drove along toward the campus, there were several auto accidents. I can't explain what I saw. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/ HARLEYSVILLE - At 8:25 PM, I saw lights above me arranged similar to a Mercedes logo, though I could not see the shape of the ship. The lights appeared to be approximately 2 miles above us at the 20 miles away. A friend of mine witnessed the lights as well but discounted it, claiming it must be a plane. When my friend went inside the lights came closer to me at a rapid rate until they were a half-mile away. It stayed at the same altitude, made a sharp 45-degree turn, hovered in place for 20 seconds, until the lights went off. I don't really believe in UFOs but what was it?

Ohio - UFO Stops Traffic on Turnpike

TOLEDO-CLEVELAND - In the early morning hours calls started coming into the radio station WTAM in Cleveland with Mike Trivisonno, 1100 AM Dial, where people on the Ohio Turnpike started seeing a UFO between Toledo and Cleveland on September 22, 2004, at 4 AM. The callers to the radio station said they were seeing a huge circle with green, yellow, and orange lights. Trucks and cars were pulling off the turnpike to observe the object. At the same time a 12 to 15 fighter jets were allegedly scrambled. People close to an air force base in Michigan (near Lake Sinclair) said it reminded them of 911. The witness stated, "Also, my husband, myself, and our neighbors, observed a lot of military craft in the sky. We even saw two Black-Hawks fly over. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/ FINDLAY - The witness was looking at the sky at 11:30 PM, on September 11, 2004, and saw what looked like a strobe light move left to right, then up and down. Because of the strange maneuvers he called a friend and told him about the light. His friend also saw the light move left to right and up and down fast. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director

Michigan - Family Spots Flying Triangle

CORUNNA -- Looking east at 10 PM, just over the field we spotted bright lights low on the horizon on September 9, 2004, and they appeared to be heading towards us. As the lights moved closer you could make out that the craft had three large, round, very bright (non-flashing) white lights on the underside that formed a triangle. The craft was very silent, flying low and moving at a slow pace across the moonless sky. They state, "We went out in the backyard to get a better look as it flew just about directly overhead and we were able to see only a slight outline of the craft due to the lights shining so bright." We lost sight of the craft as it headed southwest in the general direction of Lansing. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director http://www.ufocenter.com/

Wisconsin - High Altitude Fast Moving Light

RACINE - The witness writes, "My wife and I were out on our patio tonight about 20 miles south of Milwaukee, at about 8:35 p.m., September 9, 2004, a beautiful night. She looked up at the clear sky and said...its beautiful, look at all the stars! I, then, noticed one light that was moving at a high rate of speed. Its altitude was very high. I am an airline pilot with over 12,000 hours experience and I'm a First Officer flying passenger jets for a regional air carrier. This was no aircraft. My wife and I both watched the object as it moved from WSW to ENE.... and then it turned 90 degrees left (North) and maintained the same rate of speed. It made the turn instantaneously. I mean like a 90-degree turn that you would draw on a piece of paper. No aircraft that I know about can do that. As a member of AMSAT, I also know satellites and they don't make 90-degree turns either. I would estimate that it's altitude at above 60,000 feet. In fact when it went by, I pointed and showed my wife and said look honey a satellite...and then about 10 seconds later in the blink of an eye...it turned 90 degrees and disappeared from view within about 20 seconds. The luminosity of the object never faded. There was no sound or trail as with a meteor or bolides. In 21 years of flying professionally, I have never seen anything like I saw tonight.

Kentucky - Flying Triangle

JACKSON -- At 9 PM, on September 6, 2004, a triangular object was seen with a bright white light, plus red and blue flashing lights The white flashing light was more brilliant than the other two lights. The witness reported that, "One of the objects seemed to be closer than the object on the right but both objects were stationary, and not moving." They hovered in the southwestern sky for a few hours. I watched them for three hours then got bored and went to bed. At one point, a third object joined the two and as suddenly as it appeared, took off to the west at an incredible speed. The reason I thought the object to be triangular was because the lights did not rotate in a circle. Thanks to Peter Davenport http://www.ufocenter.com/

Missouri - Flying Triangle

PUXICO -- On September 9, 2004, at 9 PM, the observer walked out on his back porch and noticed a bright light in the northwest. He had seen this several times before, but didn't take the time to look closely. This time he got his binoculars and saw the object hovering but at times it bounced to the left or right and up or down. When looking at it through the binoculars it was triangle shaped and was blinking red, blue and white or yellow. He states, "What was really strange was it looked like you were looking through heat waves as it shimmered and seemed to be spinning." It was very hard to watch. It was flying over a place where there is only woods and a lake, and a place called Mingo Swamp Wildlife Refuge. I watched for half an hour, got spooked and went inside.

Arkansas - Large Triangular Craft

FORT SMITH - The observer's home is at the top of a hill and a few moments after dark on September 7, 2004, he heard a very soft low humming sound. At 9:15 PM, it became a low rumbling sound. He states, "As I looked in the direction of the sound, I saw this huge craft approach very slowly, it was flying very low at about 400 feet" This ship had a triangle shape and its lights glowed from underneath and alternated in their light pattern as it passed over me. I grabbed my flashlight and shined it up at the thing as it flew slowly over our area. Someone else had to see this huge craft, but it was so quiet and seemed to take forever to go over the area. I was shocked and called loudly to my Mom in the next room. She said, "She heard the rumbling or hum that was unlike a normal engine propulsion sound." I then grabbed my flashlight and ran off the porch to the street corner to get a better look as it left our area. This ship or whatever this was flew over the edge of town and out of my view. We have also seen other sightings as well in our area in the last few months. This thing was huge... my God what or who was flying this ship?

Texas - Flying Triangle and Boomerang Pictures

CORPUS CHRISTI -- My daughter (age 2) and I were sitting outside at 11:40 AM, on September 6, 2004, when she pointed out some airplanes. We have made this a game and play it daily. We live close to Cabinis Field Airport and relatively close to NAS Corpus Christi, so we see aircraft all the time. When she said "airplane" I instinctively looked up and initially thought they were two seagulls but as I watched, I realized there were two metallic craft flying in formation. I stuck my head in the back door and told my husband what we were watching and he came outside. They flew like birds constantly in tight circular patterns and formation. Their maneuvering patterns were too difficult for an aircraft to perform. They flew below the few clouds and as they turned toward us, the reflection of the sun hitting the objects made them seem five times larger. They were silvery white objects of triangular shape. They made no sound as they flew over our heads. There were no vapor trails or contrails coming off the craft either. Thanks to Peter Davenport http://www.ufocenter.com/ KINGWOOD -- Two flying triangles with rounded edges and a metallic surface were flying in a straight line to the north- northwest at a fairly rapid pace on September 13, 2004, at 7:15 PM. The sunlight glinted off the objects as they slowly spun around each other in half to full circles, while periodically reversing directions. They flew in a straight line, maintaining a steady speed. We lost sight of them when they flew beyond the tree line. x. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/ COPPERAS COVE -- About 9:30 PM, on September 15, 2004, a glowing and blurry elongated object was spotted flying in a SSW direction at multiple velocities. It started moving back and forth to the east and west. The movements were accompanied by altitude adjustments, and rapid erratic changes in direction. The object had mostly a reddish glow that at times appeared yellowish. The object made numerous movements, would vanish then reappear fifteen seconds later. I yelled for three other family members to observe. Four witnesses observed the objects maneuvers and started a long discussion on what they thought this object could have been. The object did not move with the characteristics of a standard aircraft or helicopter; and there was no accompanying sound. Bottom Line: This was a UFO sighting for sure. I have not previously witnessed any known objects with its appearance or flight characteristics. Thanks to Bill Clark http://celestialmechanics.org/

Arizona - Orbs

GLENDALE -- I have had 2 sightings of 2 different objects in 3 days! At 1:30 PM, on September 6, 2004, I was outside working at about 1:30 PM, and I looked up to watch a commercial jet liner- passing overhead when I spotted a glowing "orb" (sphere?) behind and above the jet. The object was glowing quite brightly. It was hard to judge its altitude. The object was traveling north/northeast and it was moving at least 10 times faster than the commercial airliner which was headed due north. I heard no sound from the object and it left no contrail and I saw no other lights on it except for the glow from the object itself. It flew a straight and level course until I lost sight of it.

Washington - Cigar and Low Flying Triangle

SEATTLE - Several observers spotted the UFO over West Seattle, flying west on September 12, 2004, at 11:11 AM. Four people were on the porch and sighted the object directly above us. Two people saw it immediately and two did not, when all four were aware of it, they went to the front door facing west. But the UFO was not sighted, as it was traveling at a high speed, faster than a commercial airliner or private plane. Only two people out of four actually viewed the object, as the other two were not in a good spot to see it. The UFO seems to be ruled out as a meteor breaking up and displayed two sources of light, at either end of the object. The form was seemingly cigar shaped.

Netherlands - Two Fast Red Lights

KRIMPEN A/D IJSSEL - I was smoking a cigarette in my garden at 9:45 PM, on September 9, 2004, and I'm looking up and see two red circle shaped lights moving very fast simultaneously to the east. When they were gone after +/- 5 seconds I noticed two planes in the sky were much smaller and apparently much further away, but I didn't hear a sound when the lights were moving by. It looked like the two lights belonged together and were a part of something else, but unfortunately I couldn't see anything else. What was it?? Thanks to Peter Davenport http://www.ufocenter.com/

Israel - Light

MITZPE RAMON - The witness reports seeing a light, brighter than any star flying to the northeast at 7 PM, on Friday evening September 10, 2004. There was no aircraft or Army training around at the time. It flew slowly to the east and eventually disappeared. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/ New Zealand - Sphere Meteorite? TAURANGA - The witness was out having a cigarette on his deck at 1:30 AM on September 16, 2004, when he saw a light amber colored object appear in the sky traveling south in a straight line.. It seemed to go from a size similar to a very large star to a size similar to the moon then back again. It also seemed to travel through the clouds. I hope it was a meteorite because it freaked me out a bit. Five years ago, I saw two strange lights in the sky that definitely were not meteorites or Venus or car lights or squid boats!. I also know quite a few people that have seen strange lights. I think we need proper and absolute investigation on behalf of the all the scientific community, instead of one-half claiming alien spacecraft and the other claiming holograms and every other excuse in the book.

UK/England - Flying Triangle

ANDOVER --I was letting my dog out early Sunday morning September 12, 2004, about 5 AM, when it was just getting light. I first noticed what looked like a satellite going east to west but there were 2 side by side. Then going west to east came a rapidly flashing red and white light. Then moved slowly and silently, at about 500m altitude. As this pair crossed the sky another came into view directly underneath the first at about 200m altitude, moving the same speed, in formation. This pair drifted past followed by another three sets of pairs all going the same direction. The strange thing was that I could see the lights flashing down the side of the craft and on the back could be seen two fixed lights that may have been exhausts? The objects themselves were invisible. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/

France - Disk

NICE -- On September 16, 2004 at 10:20 PM a disk at high altitude with changing colors was observed for two minutes flying over the Vendome Hotel .

The witness grabbed his camera and to his surprise after he got home he found that he was successful in capturing it with his camera. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
