Ocala, Florida UFO In The Shape Of An S
Date: June 2, 2008
Time: 10:46 p.m.
I stepped outside for a cigarette and sat down on my porch. When I looked up
at the stars I noticed a small blinking red, blue, green lights flashing from
something. It was floating very slowly back and forth kind of like in the
shape of an S. This morning I was woken up by an extremely loud jet flying
oddly very low...not sure if they coincide but as I continued to watch the
UFO, another one popped out in the distance. I see planes fly in and out all
the time- these were no planes. Planes give off a very obvious white flash
that's repetitive and you see them descend. They were barely stationary, then
would move into motion, then return to where they were before.
They'd pick up speed, then slow down, then burst speed again. They were very
high but the amount of light they gave off, gave off their position. It then
literally sat stationary over my house, just too high for me to see what
shape. It looked round- no idea what color it was though as all I could really
make out was the lights and general outline of the shape of the craft. The
whole town seems to be buzzing with UFO activity- I was curious to know if
anyone had seen what I had. I had no choice but to report this...it was far
too eerie to be anything like a plane or military jet. I'll be watching the
skies closely and will attempt to take a photo if I encounter what I did. I
suggest everyone really starts to keep an eye open...there is certainly
something going on up there.

Alaska Highway Yukon Territory Unexplained Lights (UFO) - Missing Time ?
Date: September 1970
Time: Night time event.
Location of Sighting: Alaska Highway Yukon Territory.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Bright lights.
At the time of the event, I just left it as something I could not forget and
could not explain. Now after reading of similar reports and from a person
(RCMP) I know to be very calm, levelheaded and truthful, I feel better
mentioning what I saw. I will also mention that he was not happy about his
sighting and did not like to talk about it.
The drive from Whitehorse to Vancouver is about 1500 miles. When I was living
there the first 800 miles from Whitehorse was a empty isolated gravel road.
There were very few communities and no side roads. For many hundreds of miles
on both sides of the road were nothing but trees, rivers and mountains.
In those days if we wanted to drive "outside" we usually drove non stop with
at least two drivers. I was working as a technician at the local Hospital and
decided to drive to out with one of the Doctors who also needed to go to
Vancouver. At this time I'd already driven the Highway five times, so was
quite comfortable with the idea of the long drive.
We left early on a Friday afternoon and took turns driving. In September the
sun sets early in the Yukon so it was not long before we were in complete
darkness. There was no light except from the headlights and the stars. Very
late at night it was my turn to drive. As soon as he got in the passenger seat
the Doctor fell asleep. The drive was easy. There was no other traffic and all
I had to watch for were animals and broken grader blades that could shred a
tire.
For at least half an hour I drove with nothing to see but the gravel road, our
headlights periodically reflecting off train tracks on the left side the road
and a faint outline of trees. Off in the distance I saw the bright light of an
approaching train. It was flickering as it passed behind trees and got
steadily brighter but before we met, it was out of sight. Assuming the tracks
had moved farther from the road I thought nothing of it.
For another two hours I drove and nothing had changed. The doctor was still
sleeping. There was still nothing but gravel road, train tracks and tree
outlines. I began to feel I was on a treadmill! Then again I saw the distant
light of another approaching train. This time it got brighter much faster and
within minutes it was only a few hundred feet in front of me. With nothing
else around but blackness the light was blinding. Then in a great flash it
streaked along the train tracks and disappeared behind us.
The train had made no noise and there were no following cars. I stopped the
car. The Doctor woke up and asked why I'd stopped. All I said was "We've been
following train tracks for two hours and I've seen two trains go by" He
looked at me oddly and all he said was "I'll drive". Numbly and uneasily I got
out of the car and we changed places. We never spoke of it again.
You see, the problem was this. The train from Whitehorse is the White Pass &
Yukon Railway. About 10 miles out of Whitehorse it turns west, leaves the
Alaska Highway and heads to Skagway. There were (and are) NO train tracks or
trains running beside the Alaska Highway hundreds of miles from any towns and
in the middle of nowhere.
I know I saw two large bright lights and non existent train tracks. What I
really saw I don't know. You often ask, was there any missing time? I don't
know. There were no landmarks to orient where we were. I do know we finally
arrived in Vancouver at least three hours later than we'd planned but in 1500
mile there could be rational reasons for the delay. Although we were not aware
of any delays, ten minutes here and there can add up.

Scarborough Ontario Large UFO With Windows And Beings
Date: 1972
Time: N/A.
Hi there, my name is (name removed). I am writing you in regard to two very
substantial events that have occurred in my life.
The first was back in 1972. I was with a large group of friends standing on
the north side of our home when a few of us looked up and saw a very large
ship very slowly come over the tree line. We still talk about it to this day.
The ship was large and rounded at the front. It had a light that buzzed on and
off much like an electrical pulse, the light was green in color. It stopped
over the homes on the other side of the road and simply sat there. The front
of the rounded part at the front had a window that was literally right in
front of us. In the window were two large or I guess adults and one smaller
child. They stood in the window and looked at us for a good five minutes then
the ship turned and slowly flew or almost hovered to the north and we watched
it until it quickly shot into the sky. I told this story to my wife who took
it with a grain of salt until one day at a grocery store 25 years later she
and I were at a grocery store when I saw a (name removed). I grabbed my wife
and ran after him. I introduced myself and said "(name removed) do you
remember" and before I could say another word he finished my sentence and said
"the UFO over the little white house". It was amazing and my wife never
doubted me again on this point.
You are the first person I have ever tried to contact regarding this
incredible event in my life and it always sat in the back of my mind to do
something about it or see if any other reports were made. This event was
compounded two years ago and by another event and I have to at least try to
see if any other persons saw what I saw.
The first was in the summer of 1972 and happened at the corner of Markham Road
and Eglinton Avenue in Scarborough Ontario Canada.
The second event which made me write to you was in the summer of 2006.
I was camping with my family on Grundy Lake located north of Perry Sound
Ontario. At around 11-12 pm I was looking to the northeast to north, northeast
when I saw what could only be the landing of a ship in the night sky.
The reason I am so sure of this is that I witnessed an object enter our
atmosphere as a fire type light and watched it fire its rockets to slow its
decent. It then entered in a perfectly downward angle. I could see that
although it was a great distance away that it was a controlled entry not a
shooting star or anything natural so to speak. The object slowed as it got
closer to the ground with its rockets fired at its bottom end until it
disappeared into the horizon. I know exactly where in a straight line from
where I was standing to where it landed. I would imagine in Quebec.
If you look at Grundy Lake on a map and then look north, northeast to
northeast you will see where it landed and if I guessed how far away I would
say 250 miles. The first event was witnessed by a lot of people the second I
was alone.

Juvenile Detention Facility Canton, Ohio Circular UFO Hovering - Causing A Hum
Date: Summer 1975
Time: After Dark (not permitted watch)
Number of witnesses: 1 in my cell
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Circular.
Weather Conditions: Clear skies, very warm and humid.
Description: 06-07-2008 Today's Date. I have never had this type of platform
to discuss the matter.
In July of 1975, I woke up in my cell resulting from a strange hum. It felt
like I could hear it from inside my jaw. I walked to the window and looked up
and this circular object was hovering above the flat topped building not more
than 10 feet above it. It had lights on the circular edge of alternating green
and white. 3 others were in my cell at the time and I was so excited to show
them. They had fallen into an unusual state of sleep and I was not sure if
they were even breathing. I could not wake up anyone.
TV/Radio: One of the Security Guards had a CB radio in his office along with
local police bands. I could hear frantic conversations of policemen about
unusual lights in the sky but never had the chance to see anything in print or
verified in a public newspaper.

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania Black Triangle UFO Sightings And Alien Beings !
It is difficult to decide where to begin this story, as I am not sure exactly
where the beginning is. Because of this, I will simply share the totality of
my knowledge and experience in an anecdotal way.
My mother's side of my family seems to be a beacon for weird things, and
UFO/extraterrestrial phenomena fits squarely into that category. As far as I
know, the story really begins with my uncle, who was known for something
rather odd as a child. He would often disappear from the home in the middle
of the night and a member of the family would find him missing, and they would
go looking for him. Often, he would be found on the other side of town,
wandering in a dazed/confused state. When he was asked about it, he would
reply that he just went for a walk. He was not sleepwalking, per se, but
would often be found wearing his bedclothes, and sometimes without shoes.
If this should simply seem like odd behavior, the story becomes even odder
when added to a recollection of my mother's. She swears that she one day saw
“thingsö walking up the hallway, toward the bedroom that was shared by my two
uncles. She describes waking up one night, in the early morning and hearing
noises. Among these noises was talking of some sort. Not English, she says,
but some kind of chattering-sounding language. Hearing this she looked out
her doorway into the hallway. When she did, she says she saw two small
creatures, for lack of a better word, move back the hallway, talking lowly
between them as the did so. She describes their movement as flowing, almost
as if they were not touching the ground and walking as we do, on two legs, but
either floating or moving as a millipede does. She does not recall any direct
contact with these creatures, but rather just cowering under her covers for a
while. The combination of this and the experiences of my uncle, lead me to
believe that something more was occurring, here.
These are the only details that I know of from that part of my
mother/aunt/uncle's life, and I can only jump many years ahead in my story.
Ever since I was very young (I am 22, now) I have had an interest in
astronomy, and would always look up in the sky, day or night, looking for
interesting things. This propensity has led me to personally witness a number
of very odd things. The earliest that I can remember is when I was about 14
years old. I was sleeping at a friend's home, and he was kind enough to let
me sleep on the bed, while he used a sleeping bag on the floor at the side of
the bed. Now, the head of my friends bed was arranged so that the person
sleeping in it could see out of a window when he was lying on his left side,
and it just so happens that I sleep on my side.
Well, in the middle of the night, I woke, as I often do, and looked out the
window. There I saw a light. At first, I thought that it was just a star, or
a planet, but then I noticed that it was pulsating slightly. So, I watched it
for about a minute, maybe less and I sat up to get a better look at whatever
it was. The springs on the bed squealed and my friend woke up. He sat up and
said something along the lines of “hey, what's going on.....what the heck is
THAT.ö After that, we just sat there, dumbfounded, watching this thing act
“weirdö and finally, just....disappear. More accurately, it flew off very,
very quickly. We decided to just let it slide, and talk about it later. We
never really did.
A similar, though much more close up, experience happened not long after that.
My mother, stepfather, stepbrother, and I were going up to a local look-out
point at night to look at one of the small towns near our home. The drive was
totally normal, uneventful, but the final approach to the parking area was
not. When we crested the hill to the flat parking area, there was a classic
disc-looking craft, complete with lights, but no sound, sitting in the
flattened area. Needless to say, we hightailed it out of there and flew down
the mountainside at speeds that can only be described as “unsafe.ö We were
all fairly well shaken up by the experience and we slept in the same room that
night.
Finally, when I was 16 years old, I had a memorable, daylight sighting while
walking to the bus stop in McClure, PA. We lived on a hill that I was walking
down to catch the bus to school and it was one of those beautiful days where
it was still early in the morning and the full moon was visible in the clear
blue sky. I was looking at the moon while walking when I saw a bright,
metallic, sphere shaped object begin to move into my field of view from south
to north as I was looking into the west. Noticing this, I stopped walking and
watched the object. It appeared to pass through the moon, but I suspect that
this is just an optical illusion created by its very similar color to the
lighter parts of the visible moon. After this it continued on its straight
course and I began to wonder if it was only an airplane and then it promptly
changed direction, it seemed to make an ~60 degree turn instantly and then
shot off out of view.
After this, things tapered for a while, and nothing but the occasional weird
light in the sky occurred. Then the black triangles started.
When I was 17 years old, a friend and I were making our way to Harrisburg, PA
for a weekend-long event. When we finally got to the city, we were driving
along a well-known road in Harrisburg named Front Street and I was in the
passenger seat resting my head against the window and support column when I
saw what may have been the strangest thing I had ever seen up until that point
in my life. There, in plain view, was a large, black triangle hovering over
the center of the Susquehanna river right in the middle of Harrisburg.
However, this was not the strangest part of the whole thing. The craft was,
or at least appeared to be, siphoning up some of the water in the river.
Whether a physical carrying tube was being used, or the water was simply
making its way up some kind of vortex, I can't be sure. If the event had
ended there, I might be able to chalk it up to an over-active imagination, or
the fact that I was partially asleep at the time; but just then something
happened that told me that what I had seen was real. Just as I was about to
ask my friend if he saw anything over the river he started to speak.
"Yeah?" "Are you looking at, what I'm looking at?" "You mean the giant black
triangle hanging over the river and sucking water up into it?" "Yep."
"Sure am." "Good, I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't going crazy."
As incredulous as that conversation may seem it is, as far as I can recall,
quite accurate. The exchange was just like that, matter of fact. But the
conversation still wasn't over, as while my friend and I were staring at this
thing a call comes over the two-way radio that we had to communicate with the
vehicle ahead of us. "Guys, do you see that thing over the river." "Yeah, we
were just talking about it ourselves." "Okay, just keep an eye on it and we'll
talk about it when we get to the hotel." "Good idea."
As for the triangle itself, the most striking thing about it was its size.
The thing was huge, at least a couple of hundred yards long from one point
back to the flat of the opposing line. The second thing about it was that it
appeared to be perfectly equilateral, each side exactly the same as the other
two. It was jet black, with some recessions on the underside, and it
definitely had a textured, industrial look to it. The whole surface of it
looked like a cross between an F-117/A and one of those bulbous control
tower-looking structures that you see on the bigger navy ships. Also, it was
totally silent, or at least so quiet that we could not hear whatever noise it
was making from that distance.
So, this was my first sighting of the now-famous black triangles. Mostly I am
happy that this was a shared sighting, or I might not believe that it ever
happened. Though, really I think the strangest thing about it is that it
happened in plain sight, over the river in the middle of the state capitol.
In fact, it was within easy sight of the Capitol building itself, at least
from the side that faces the river.
After this particular sighting, things quieted down save for a series of
passing events; all of which included the black triangles. Because I have
been a student for as long as I can remember, all of my jobs placed me on the
road between 11:00pm and 1:00am. This has given me great opportunity to see
odd things in the sky and on 3 occasions since the Harrisburg incident odd
things were indeed seen. Two of the three times, the sighting occurred on
small, municipal road called Quarry Road, in Beavertown, PA. Once, I passed
almost directly under the triangle. Dropping my head down and looking up
through the angled portion of the windshield, so that I was able to see past
the roof of the car, I could see the underside of a triangle. Again, it was
very large, and visible due to its being darker than the moon-lit sky. Some
small lights were visible and, as usual, there was no sound whatsoever. For a
sense of distance, I would say that if I were to have held up an apple at arms
length, it would have almost totally covered the object.
The other sighting on this road was of a triangle which was just passing
through, for lack of a better means of description. From the crest of a hill,
over a farming field, I was able to watch a triangle move slowly away from me,
eventually disappearing over the horizon, which is made up of a wooded
mountain not so terribly far away so that the triangle remained of substantial
apparent size throughout the sighting, which probably lasted about 45 seconds.
The other sighting was less memorable, and just consisted of my catching a
glimpse of the same old shape as it traveled over our property in Beavertown.
Beyond these sightings of crafts, I have also experienced a number of odd
things. All of these things are, on their own, vague and not all that
indicative of anything, but taken as a body, I believe that it is evidence
of...something.
On one occasion, I awoke in the middle of the night with the distinct feeling
that something was amiss, and I turned my head so as to look away from the
wall that my bed abutted. I can't be sure, but I would swear to this day that
I saw an humanoid figure standing at the foot corner of my bed. This
experience was repeated several times throughout my college years, always with
the position of the entity slightly shifted, but always only one and I believe
it to be the same entity throughout the series of experiences.
The most disturbing of these experiences, though is one that I remember in
great detail and which only occurred about one and a half years ago. I had a
dream, or at least I think it was a dream. In this dream, the house in which
I was living at the time was shrouded in what I can only describe as a
supernatural darkness. I can't see anything and am making my way through the
house only by memory of the layout and through the sense of touch. I am not
blind, the house is simply stripped of any light, including that from the
usual, artificial sources such as the indicator lights on the cable modem in
the room. Anyway, I make my way down the stairs and am yelling for my mother,
I'm terrified, you see because I fear blindness because the next bit had not
yet occurred. As I hit the bottom of the stairs, I can see light, very
intense in comparison to the rest of the situation but mostly like that of a
large fire, leaking in from around the edges of the blind in one of the
windows. My mother is not answering but there is indication that my dog is
about. Because of this I conclude that she must be out of the house, perhaps
staying at one of her friend's homes where she would frequently spend the
night. So, I make my way to the window and peel it back a little bit to peak
out to see what is causing all the commotion. At this point I wake up and all
is normal, so I presume that it was just an odd dream.
The next night, another "dream" hits. In this one, I am upstairs in the late
evening, and decide to come down stairs to get a drink. I enter the kitchen
and the lights are off, so I can see out the windows. I believe that I see
something moving through the trees. I think it is some kind of wildlife, so I
move closer to get a better look. What I see is disturbing. My mother is
home, so I call her into the kitchen to look. What we see is unbelievable.
Moving through the trees are several creatures. They are long and lank, and
of very, very pale color. They are humanoid and if I had to put it into a
human perspective, I would say that they moved like ballet dancers, with
leaping, precise motions. They were making their way through the trees,
toward the house and I distinctly remember feeling very threatened at this
point. Ever the American, my instant plan was to go and get my shotgun. I
told my mother to call someone while moving toward the stairs. She asked me
who she should call, and I told her that it could be anybody, just let someone
know what was happening. I got up stairs and grabbed the gun, and made my way
to the drawer where the shells were kept and I distinctly remember planning
out how I would load the weapon. Slug, shot, shot, slug, shot, slug. I
opened the boxes and took out the appropriate shells and that is when I woke
up.
Well, after two weird dream nights in a row, I decide to share the story with
my mother in the "I've been having such bizarre dreams these last couple of
nights" way. "Really? So have I. You go first." As I begin to tell her the
story she stops me and starts to continue the story of both nights in the same
way as my stories went, but from her perspective. Needless to say, we are
both pretty frightened by this. I decided to check the window, first and sure
enough, the blind is disturbed as if somebody had tried to pull it back and
look out of it. It was in a storage room, and it would not be unusual for the
window to remain undisturbed for days at a time. worried by this, I decide to
go and look on the table of the chest of drawers where I keep the shotguns
shells and again, there is the evidence, a pile of shells which correlated to
my plan in the "dream." Unfortunately, with no children in the house and
shooting be a common pastime for me, having ammunition in the open is not
unusual, so of this I can't be sure of the significance.
Since this incident, the only odd thing I can think if is what I can only call
an air of the extraterrestrial that has been following me around. I have had
several friends who are not usually parcel to the supernatural tell me that
they have gotten odd feelings about me and my life that they can't help but to
think are somehow connected with aliens. One friend who is a martial arts
practitioner actually met me at his door one night when I went to visit
holding his katana and asking me if anything was wrong because he got the
feeling that I was being followed, and that something not good was afoot.

Saltdene, East Sussex U.K. Orange Colored Orbs
Date: May 31, 2008
Time: Approx: 22:00 to 22:20 hours.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 3
Shape of objects: Circular.
Weather Conditions: Thin low cloud, no wind.
Description: Looking East towards Newhaven, a friend, with whom I had been
spending the evening, called out to me from her East-facing kitchen door, to
look at something with her. I joined her outside to be greeted by the sight of
three stationary circular orbs of light, fairly low in the sky (30 to 40
degrees above the horizon). The orbs of light were a soft orange color. I
immediately ruled out a number of possibilities. They weren't stars or
planets, as they were too big. Neither were they conventional aircraft or
helicopters, as there was absolutely no sound, and anyway they were the wrong
shape.
I thought I detected a slight bulge in the orbs of light around the centre. My
friend thought she could make out horizontal lines of tiny lights within the
main outlines. After about 20 minutes, during which the spacing of the orbs
altered a little in relation to each other, they rose vertically to disappear
above the clouds. The size of the orbs had also changed gradually during the
period we viewed them, enlarging and
