Culpeper County Virginia - The Virginia Lights (UFOs)
Date: November 2005 (ongoing)
Time: Ongoing.
I saw on your site a series of sightings that have been occurring since 2005
over Culpeper County Virginia. It seems that many people including myself are
continuing to see the same thing. I wanted to send you my sighting report in
hopes you can add it to your collection of the other Virginia sightings.
This sighting has been an ongoing event which started in November 2005. The
area the sighting occurred is on my families farm in the rural county of
Culpeper Virginia. It all started when we had a party in November of 2005. The
lights were first noticed by a friend who said "what is that" I looked and saw
what I can only describe as something that looked similar to the Phoenix
lights. There were approximately 15 people at the party and we were all
baffled. The lights were bright white in color and looked like an ORB/sphere
in shape. After about 15 minutes of viewing,
I asked my friends if what we are seeing were flares from the near by Quantico
Military base.
Most agreed and than one said "Yep, I think your" but before he could finish
his sentence someone else said "I have never seen flares move like that.
Astonishingly the lights started to move in unison in a easterly direction.
There were approximately 10 lights, all were lined up in a
straight line, from west to east, and seemed to make a noticeable outline of
something HUGE. Unbelievably this collection of lights started to move, from
our vantage point it looked to be at least 200-500 feet long and flying at an
estimated 300-500 feet over the tree line. The lights
moved slowly, approximately 2.5 miles and than started to turn north. Because
of this turn these lights made a dip up then gradually swept North. This is
when we noticed there was another collection of lights on the bottom of this
thing. I think this is when most of us realized this was something very
special and quite extraordinary.
After the lights completed their turn we were able to see the back which was
comprised of what looked like eight lights, four on top four on the bottom.
There also was a strange haze between the top and bottom lights, I'm not sure
how to describe it but it was a blurry bluish haze. It was
shortly after this when the lights faded from view as it continued to head
north in the direction of Washington DC.
About 6 months later I received a phone call from one of my friends, he was
also at the November party and saw the "Virginia Lights". He explained that he
had camped the night before at the property and had another sighting of the
lights. This time he said it didn't turn orth but stayed due east in the
direction of the Fredericksburg area. The reason I am reporting his to you now
is that I had another sighting of the "Virginia Lights" this past weekend.
This time the lights were further off in the distance when first spotted and
again headed North but in
a more North Easterly direction, again toward Washington DC. Interestingly,
the lights seem to be rising out of the tree line which is approximately 1-3
miles distance.
I have done some internet research on the lights and found there has been some
very similar sightings occurring throughout the Northern Virginia area. In
particular, there were many sightings in the vicinity of Spotsylvania,
Fredericksburg, Gainesville and the Dale City and
Woodbridge Va areas. The description of these sightings were so eerily similar
and since this was the direction we saw the lights heading makes me think we
may have seen the same thing

Loiusville, Illinois Lights Appearing And Disappearing - Strange Event
Date: Maybe two years ago (Approx: 2006)
Time: Approx: 8:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Above a field by the road on Starling Dr. Clay Co.
Louisville, Ill.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1 set of 3 lights.
Shape of objects: Kind of like in the shape of a triangle.
Full Description of event/sighting: Just before I got home my daughter and I
saw these 3 lights in the sky, she saw 4, but I mainly saw 3 not high like
stars and they was a lot bigger like street
lights. I stopped the car and the lights then went out, but came back on in
seconds, then I got out of the car. To maybe get a better look and they went
out again. This time they came back on then disappeared for good. Later I told
a police officer in Flora Il. about it to see if anyone else might have
reported anything that night, but he said no. Then he said he had seen
something like that not far from there one time while he was fishing. But
thought it was something to do with the airforce or government. It was very
different, but the lights didn't look over 100 feet in the sky above the
ground.

Evans, Colorado A Large Egg Shaped Gold Metallic UFO
Date: March 2007
Time: 5:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: End of county/residential dirt road.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Egg.
Full Description of event/sighting: I was coming home from shopping in town
when something made me look in my rear view mirror before I turned into my
dirt driveway on a quiet road. I saw something peeking out of a cloud, so I
backed up and drove up to it. I live off of a dirt road and
it was just me and this object. I lived near a Air Force base growing up so it
would take a lot to get me amazed, which I was. It was a large egg shaped,
gold metallic craft without any wings, but might have had black tails, and it
was made out of a shimmering metal that would transform
from gold to white and shimmer gold again.
It hovered over me silently. I felt that it knew I was there and we must have
been watching each other. It then backed up into the cloud where I didn't see
it emerge again. I surmised it was using
Cloud’s to hide in.

Kaufman, Texas Sphere Baby Blue in Color
Date: April 11, 2008
Time: 1:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Backyard.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Sphere.
Full Description of event/sighting: I made myself write this report because I
think that this is important information. I too have always been fascinated by
UFOs. I am the kind of person that will believe about 80% of what people say
as long as they have something that I can examine and come to my own
conclusion. I am 51 years old and I have worked as a Barber at the same shop
for 31 years. I have a great mind for details. On the day I saw the sphere, I
walked out of back door onto our left side of our patio. As I came out,
something bright came into view about 15
feet from me moving left to right in my backyard. It was a sphere, bright in
silver color with bluish streaks. It was moving about as fast as a young child
would casually ride their bicycle. As it moved into view, it slowed down and
became baby blue in color and then changed color again
as it stopped.
It turned to the color of a natural gas blue flame. I was able to see the
inside of this thing and I have read many UFO accounts looking for another
description and have not found one. This is why I think this is important to
us all to try to understand what these orbs are. I read one short account of a
lady who saw a sphere with a square shadow. Let me tell you why. The outside
is a clear bubble with a black cube inside, each side of the cube has a cone
shaped hole in the middle
in which this blue light comes. The edges of the cube glowed violet. Looking
up through it, I could see 2 big clouds that were high in the sky being
projected through the top of the bubble in
a smaller size that was in a concave shape like the bubble.

Nipomo, California Two UFOs And Letter In The Local Newspaper On Them
Date: December 5, 2008
Time: 5:30 p.m.
Location of Sighting: Nipomo, California.
Number of witnesses: 5
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Oval.
Full Description of event/sighting: I don't need to describe it as I have 2
hours of video that will describe the two unidentified or lets just say yet to
be identified objects. And from what I have found online this seems to be the
longest recording of any sighting. Two objects that were just sitting very far
away in the night sky looking like stars but I knew they weren't because of
the time of night, right at dusk and because they appeared to be flashing. I
had been watching the moon and Jupiter and Venus conjunction show that was
happening at that same time and that's what made me look in that direction.
That planet show had been in our
western sky very clear and bright. Right at dusk was the best time to view the
planet's and it was getting close to the end of that as the planets by now
were getting farther and farther apart as they would appear each night now.
I walk outside to go to my car and look upward to see where the planets were
and I seen these two objects that look like stars. The first thing I said was
" what's that," and just stood there and looked at them for a few minutes
watching to see if they were planes. They just sat there not
moving.
I then went into the house and asked my wife and roommate to come outside and
take a look.
They didn't have any idea either, even my 18 month old grandson walked out and
noticed them. My stepson then arrived from work to pick up his son and walked
up and asked what we were looking at. I said, "I don't know, you work at
Vandenburg (Air Force Base) you tell me." He jokingly said," I could, but then
I have to kill you." He stood there and watched them and then said he thought
they were some sort of aircraft and I said, " Ok when you find out what type
let me know." He never has and he still doesn't know what they are either. I
then went into the house got my video camera and started recording.
I showed my stepson and his dad (who also works at the base, they both work
for Boeing building rockets) the video at Xmas and his dad had no idea either.
He thought possibly a helicopter.
But to make this long story short I have 2 hours of video of these two objects
moving around. But the most interesting parts of this video is when I zoom in
on them and you see lights that are flashing on and off, back and forth in a
strobe pattern along what appears to be the rim of
the objects. There is what I call the larger object and then the smaller one
and both of the light patterns on each are different.
If they are aircraft then I would like to know what type. But remember these
objects sat in the same area moving back and forth for almost 2 hours at a
very high altitude before they started moving west and then finally went out
of camera sight. I went on line a couple of nights later to see if there was
any other sighting, but didn't find any.
So I just thought I would wait and see what happens next and see if anyone
else reported
anything and just a couple of days ago a lady here in Nipomo posted a letter
to the editor in our local paper asking if anyone had seen the UFO's last week
which was around the 28th or 29th of
Dec. right around the same time of night and in about the same general area.
But she said in her letter they were there for a short time and then were gone
and disappeared from view

South East Of Anola Manitoba Bright Light With Different Colors
Date: December 15, 2008
Time: 2230-present (2330)
Location of Sighting: South East of Anola MB.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Shape changing, cylindrical?
Full Description of event/sighting: Was driving home from Winnipeg to Anola
and noticed a bright light (like a very bright star). But this light was
green, blue and red in color. The object didn't seem to be moving. Upon
getting home and using the binoculars, we noticed the red light was in the
center of the object with blue lights surrounding it. The object seemed to be
vibrating or moving in tiny circles. Occasionally the blue would turn green.
As I am typing this the object remains there. My daughter videotaped it. And
my husband also witnessed it. Over the last hour the object has moved slowly
higher in the sky. I am going back to watch it now. What is this?

Editor: Orange lights in UK again. (Sten, that’s too many Flares)
********
Chigwell Essex, UK 100 Plus Bright Orange Objects
Date: December 17, 2008
Time: 1900 - 2000
Location of Sighting: Chigwell Essex.
Number of witnesses: 10
Number of objects: 100+
Shape of objects: Round.
Full Description of event/sighting: A number of bright orange circles
ascending similar paths, all headed right to left, covering approx 120 degrees
of sky, some accelerating some decelerating,
some in formation, some slowing and waiting for others to complete formation.
Numbers ascending, ones, twos, threes to eights. 10 sec to 30 sec gaps before
next group. More and more of us watching in amazement as the count went from
20 to approx 130 before it stopped. As this all happened within the stacking
circle of planes to Stanstead, this must have also been witnessed by many
pilots. Clear sky; planes istinguishable because of navigational lights,
circular motion,
and obviously engine noise. Orange objects in groups, travelling in same
direction and silent.

South Warner Road King Of Prussia, Pennsylvania Bright Glowing Sphere
Date: December 17, 2008
Time: 4:32 p.m.
Location of Sighting: South Warner Road, King of Prussia, PA.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Bright glowing Sphere.
Full Description of event/sighting: On December 17, 2008 at 4:32 PM. I was
looking out the window of my office building. I was on the second floor, and
the front of the building is all glass. The view is amazing from my office as
there are no buildings blocking the view of a large
expanse of sky. I noticed a large fast moving glowing light moving across the
sky and through the clouds. I ran down the stairs and out the front door
stumbling to get my blackberry camera
on and ready to take a picture. I ran into the parking lot and was able to
get a decent image of what I saw. It moved horizontally to the ground and was
very large. I took a picture but it moved so quickly out of sight.
----------
Hainault, Essex, England Yellow/Orange Objects
Date: December 18, 2008
Time: 7:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 30 plus
Shape of objects: Ball shape.
Weather Conditions: Clear, dark.
Description: These objects I noticed at around 7pm and lasted about half an
hour,they were coming from above the trees to the left of my house at the back
from the Loughton/Abridge direction they were yellow/orange in colour a bit
like a street light, they came in groups of 3 one
top one middle and one bottom but not in line there was no noise at all it was
a calm evening as they got directly opposite my back bedroom window they
disappeared all at the same place, I would say they were as high as the planes
go with a large gap before the next group appeared the
last group to come over was a group of 5 they disappeared at the same spot, I
would be very interested to know what the objects were I have been onto the
UFO balloon site but they finished producing balloons in 2007.
TV/Radio: I haven't myself but there is an article in the Loughton Gazette
where a woman and her husband saw them from Chigwell Essex, she wrote a letter
to the paper either last week or this week.
-----
UFOINFO Note: As with other similar reports I asked the witness to have a look
at the UFO Balloons website to see if this is what might have been seen and
received the following reply:
Thank you for reply to my e-mail, that probably was the balloons then, just
seems strange that they didn't move about in the sky and kept the same
distance from one another also all disappearing at exactly the same spot, I
will probably never know still it was exciting and spooky
at the time.
Editor: Could they have disappeared into a time warp worm hole?
Even Einstein, mathematically predicted that they were possibly
there.

Bournville, Birmingham, West Midlands, England Two Orange Lights
Date: December 21, 2008
Time: 9:15 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 5
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Oblong (2)
Weather Conditions: Clear frosty night.
Description: on the night of the sighting whilst smoking outside in the garden
we spotted two circular, bright orange lights in the night sky from the East,
the orange lights moved to the front
of the house moving West, we ran to the front of the house and watched it
change into two oblong flying objects, flying parallel with each other, no
sound came from these flying objects and they were travelling very slowly
across the sky, the lights had changed now to white lights,
they disappeared into the night sky. Five adults witnessed this sighting who
would not have believed in UFOs until this evening, we reported the sightings
to the local police and to the local newspaper but there was no response
----------
Near Washington, West Sussex, England Orange Ball Of Light
Date: December 26, 2008
Time: 5:20 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Orange ball
Weather Conditions: Cold clear night
Description: We were driving along the A283 heading west towards Washington,
my wife was sitting behind me in the rear of the car with my daughter when she
became aware of an orange light flying in an easterly direction high in the
sky. There were stars clearly visible as well as
Venus in the sky so we discounted it being either a planet or a star and was
not a plane, it was bright orange. It moved at a steady speed and was visible
for at least five minutes as we were moving in the opposite direction.
-----
UFOINFO Note: As with other similar reports I asked the witness to have a look
at the UFO Balloons website to see if this is what might have been seen and
received the following reply:
I looked at the film of the lanterns, but have to say that the wind speed was
high that evening 20 Knots at least the object was flying at a steady
controlled speed there was no flickering. I have spent many years watching
aircraft and can honestly say that this orange ball was unlikely to be a
lantern it was in a perfect level flight and seemed unaffected by the gusty
conditions and visibility was perfect.

Brimington, Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England 6 To 10 Objects
Date: December 27, 2008
Time: 7:30 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 8
Number of objects: 6-10
Shape of objects: Could not distinguish.
Weather Conditions: Clear and dry.
Description: Around 19.30 my dad called me to come and look outside. We could
see approximately 6-10 objects in the sky coming towards our house. They were
flying at a fair speed but there was no sound of any engines or motors. We
thought they may have been balloons but they all seemed to follow the exact
same pattern or course, where a balloon would move about in the breeze. They
were emitting a light which looked like a flickering flame. It was difficult
to give an exact altitude but I'd guess at few hundred feet up. My brother who
lives approx 2 miles away saw them too and told me the next day. They were in
the sky for around 5-10 minutes then they disappeared one after another all in
about the same position in the sky. I captured the event on my mobile but when
I went to view the video the file did not save.
-----
UFOINFO Note: As with other similar reports I asked the witness to have a look
at the UFO
Balloons website to see if this is what might have been seen and received the
following reply:
Looking at the video link there is a good chance what we saw were balloons.
After seeing the clip id say I'm 80% certain that's what they were. Thanks for
clearing that
