We have several videos we can send. This object was darting around, looked at times like a brain with transmissions occurring inside and changing colors. Never seen before and have worked at Area 51. Called the neighbors and they confirmed seeing this object and being unfamiliar with anything like it. We would like some ideas as to what it could be. The sky was clear. Animals were going crazy in a couple videos. We were upstairs and standing on an outdoor deck. Thank you! Steve and Michelle Olson

m sending a video from January 28, 2001 at approximation 6:33pm taken in front of my home. I have over a year of video and pictures of strange hovering objects that change shape and color over the field in front of my home that I have seen during the day and night as well as many witnesses. I would like someone to investigate. I believe it is not of this world and I have never witnessed anything like this until I moved to this location. I have seen up to 7 at a time near my home. Usually it is only one or two objects and they seem to communicate to each other. They are very strange in shape like a tetrahedron shape and flash different colors but also change shape into some kind of orb. It is hard to explain. I have pictures of the same object that looks very different in each picture. I have had one get so close that it made me nervous and I ran back to my front porch. It was approximately 100 feet away. I feel as if it is observing me at times. It will stay hovering quietly over the field as long as I stand there watching and recording. When I look for them they are usually there unless the weather is bad. Please respond and help me get this looked into. Thank you.

looked like an odd bright white/yellow star that changed from a square,to an octagon to a grey disc shape. It hovered in the same place over a field across from my home in the night sky. If an airplane came near it dimmed its light til I couldn't see it. Then once the air plane was gone the light came back. I was nervous and almost scared. I have video and pictures and my 2 sons and I were witnesses.
