UFO Sighting Reports

Welcome to another week of UFO sighting reports. Let's see some of the best reports of the past week.

Colorado-05-17-08-A friend and I were practicing at a local golf course when I noticed the sound of a single engine plane going overhead. When I looked up, I noticed a pair of lights in the sky. They appeared very high up and soon I noticed a third dot of light below the one on the left. I asked my friend to look and asked him what was I looking at. He could see the two brighter objects, but not the fainter dot below the one on the left. As we were watching these things along comes another object from the left, moving at a consistent speed to our right. This thing was cigar-shaped, and immediately I assumed it was a plane, because of its consistent speed and direction.

I told my friend this, but his response was that it was not making a contrail nor was there any noise. There were visible planes in the air, making both contrails and noise but this object was not. It actually crossed just below the other objects on its path, and at some point we just couldn't see it anymore. We watched the smaller objects a bit longer but they kept getting harder and harder to see until we couldn't see them anymore. We were both giddy for witnessing this, and are thankful to have someone to share the event with. We went back to practicing and a few minutes later my friend exclaimed "It's back."

Sure enough, there was a bright object in almost the same position as when first spotted. It appeared to change shape and position a bit and it occurred to me that maybe the clubhouse would have binoculars I could borrow. My friend kept watching while I ran to the club house and sure enough they loaned me some low quality binoculars. On my way to join my friend I was looking up but saw nothing. He was still watching the object when I reached him, so I gave him the binocs. Soon, he passed them to me and I was able to pick up the object again. source: www.mufon.com

Montana-05-16-08-I was unpacking my car tonight when I looked up and saw a white capsule-shaped object floating across the sky. The sun was shining on it, so I don't know if that caused the visual whiteness of the object or not. It had a black area in the middle of it that I could not make out. It was quite high, but I'm not sure of the altitude. There were several jet patterns streaking the sky and I know it was underneath those. It was silent and wingless.

Not wanting to take my eyes off of it, I watched it as it calmly floated to the south until only a small pinpoint of light remained. I went in and grabbed my husband, took him outside and started to describe what it looked like.

He said, "You mean like that?" and pointed.

There was another one moving silently from the east to the west over us. I went inside and grabbed his binoculars while he watched it. I gave them to him but had to go inside to calm a crying three-year-old. I watched him as he studied it. He looked at me through the window and shrugged his shoulders. He said even as it was moving away from him, he could see the thing had no wings. I asked him if he got a good look at the dark area in the middle of the craft and he said that he couldn't, as it was moving away from him at that point. source: www.mufon.com

Nevada-05-16-08-At sunset, I was sitting outside enjoying the evening, and when I looked up I saw a very bright orange almost red light in the sky north of Boulder City, NV. At first I thought it might be a very strange colored, bright red star and thought that would be odd since I had never seen anything like it. Then it started to move north slowly (maybe 2 or 3 minute duration). I think it blinked a few times before fading completely.

Then I noticed another traveling a lot faster from west to east, but was only able to watch it for several seconds before it dimmed and faded. I looked hard to see if this was a refection from the sun off of a couple of planes, but I could see nothing at all in the exact area after they faded.

I did notice after the second light faded, further east, my eyes caught a black/dark object in the sky with no lights on, and it was cigar- shaped. It could have been a plane but I didn't hear any noise from it or see lights. source: www.mufon.com

North Carolina-05-17-08-I was out on the patio of my place of employment. I saw something from the corner of my eye. I looked up and saw a flat, circular object that was as bright and white like the moon. It was gliding across the sky, moving pretty fast. It went right through the tree branches, and on the other side of the tree branches, it disappeared. It was large. Too big to be a falling star, it had no tail, so it could not of been a comet... its movement was smooth... and it was flying evenly, across the sky and it stayed that way until it disappeared. I have never before seen anything like it. It could maybe be considered a disc... who knows? It was probably the most mysterious thing I have ever seen in my life. source: www.mufon.com

New Jersey-05-17-08-As I was driving down Rt 23 southbound in Wayne, NJ, approaching Newark-Pompton Crossroad, a shiny object in the pale blue sky caught my attention. It was at an unknown distance/altitude, and I could not see any specific shape to it. It looked like tiny sphere moving parallel with the ground. I kept my eyes on it for no more than five seconds when it seemed to literally shrink out of sight in less than a second. It was moving about the speed of an airliner, which is what I thought it was at first, until I watched it vanish.

I did not blink. It all happened so fast that it made me very curious, but I had to concentrate on traffic and the red light coming up in front of me so I quickly forgot about it. It wasn't until I began to think about it several hours later when it occurred to me that I may have just witnessed a UFO. I will never know for sure. source: www.mufon.com

Texas-05-10-08-One morning on my way to work, I decided to get the mail because I hadn't gotten it the day before. The sun was just coming up and the sky was bright and clear. Then I noticed a cigar-shaped object just sitting in the sky about as high as the clouds. I stopped and waited for the object to move, but it just sat there for about ten minutes, then the object started to move forward very slowly.

That's when I noticed what appeared to be windows or port holes along the sides-no wings or tail rudders, just a cigar-shape, round on both ends. At first I wanted to believe that it may be a blimp or something, but I've seen blimps all my life and I've never seen one that high in the sky. source: www.mufon.com

That will complete this week's reports, but come back next week for more UFO sightings. Until then, keep your eyes on the skies.

(1) Just me says:

I don’t think any of these were ufos, unless you admit ufos are fata morganas. In fact, these objects are mostly witnessed during morning or evening times, when certain air conditions occur, maybe combined with far off lakes which reflect in the air, under certain conditons, when there is dust or thin clouds etc. As a matter of fact, the described phenomena may 2008 are all in one specific latitude all over the united states. So…
