The report, as filed

Encounter with 3 beings: I awoke around 3 am to see 3 beings standing in my bedroom door. They are translucent, soft light emanating from their bodies. I sat up in my bed and I stared intently. My impression was a Mother with a child. She was tall and lean with olive-shaped dark eyes. She had long arms and she was without clothing. I could not make out any specific shapes we would call genitals. Her mouth was narrow with an oval shaped face, no hair on the body. The child entity stood next to the mother holding her leg. The child came up to her hip in height. I got the feeling this was a boy. Same appearance only the head was shaped slightly smaller and stout with arms and legs. The eyes were big and looking at me as if this was its first time seeing a human being. The third entity stood behind them. Same soft light emanating from the body. At this point, I could tell all 3 bodies seemed to be floating like a hologram. The 3rd entity was different in that on top of its head were these antenna with olive-shaped eyes. There must have been 8 or so of these attached to the head and looked like they were part of the scalp. I had the impression this being was a scout and the antenna were cameras. I went to get up out of bed and the beings turned their backs and floated down the hallway and just disappeared. I thought ok, that was a strange experience. The next evening around the same time, 3 am. The being with the antenna on the head appeared standing in my hall near my coat closet and hung onto the woodwork. I looked up and waved my hand. It matched my hand wave and a slight smile like a Mona Lisa Smile appeared on its face. I went to get up and it disappeared. I could only describe the movement of the beings like watching seaweed floating in the ocean. They were opaque but I could see through them. I remember feeling a joy in my heart unlike any other. An overwhelming sense of love and wonderment. It was a marvelous experience. I wish to remain anonymous. My family would not believe me, I have told 2 close friends. Whether they believe I do not care. I felt like I should share. I believe these beings are walking among us at this moment. Observing us. Maybe they are here to help or just waiting to pick up the pieces after we are gone. Sincerely, A believer

On October 7th, 2023 my daughters, best friend and I were making smores in the backyard and I looked up and noticed a light and said “what is that”. We all looked in the sky and see behind the clouds was a light. It looked like a flashlight was being shined in the sky, then more started to appear in various speeds and patterns. We eventually went inside after taking videos and pictures because we were scared. [NUFORC annotation: Searchlight - Possible]

A cylindrical object appeared in my north east facing window which attracted my attention because of its brightness and color and smooth motion. I went to look out the back door of my house and watch as it headed northwest briefly but it quickly faded and was lost to sight. It was unusual because of its shape and brightness and orange color, but also because it appeared to have two dangling legs that were bright and orange also. Not something I have seen before. It move quickly but not like a meteor more like the speed of the ISS when it flies over. It appeared bigger so I assume at a low altitude. It seemed to have some twinkling or movement to the light. It was traveling southeast to northwest. I have seen Chinese lanterns before. Could be a new and improved model but the whole thing seemed to be reflecting light? No center burning look. Just unusual and that is why I am reporting. No time to get a photo unfortunately. It would be nice to know if anyone else in the area saw it.

I grew up in the area until 21 years of age and was always fascinated in the night sky and would say I’m familiar with stars, moon, comets, satellites, aircraft, and such. I even know what a Chinese floating lantern looks like. What I saw this night at around 1:30 am wasn’t anything I’ve ever seen before. A friend and I were working late night on a car in the garage and I went out to grab a part that was needed from my car. I called for my friend to come outside to see this and he can not explain what it was either as it too was something he has never seen before either. It was a glowing ball of fire the size of my thumbnail at arms length. It wasn’t omitting any noise and the orb was pulsating lightly heading to the East and with a wide sweeping arc slowly turned and headed to the Northwestern direction. It did not have a red or green blinking light like aircraft have and certainly was not a helicopter with a search beam. Again, a glowing reddish orange fireball making no noise and floated slowly changing direction to almost 180degree in which it came from and disappeared out of sight. I know that what this object I was looking at was a UAP/UFO. I hope this helps with recent sighting and for the location.

The mother ship and smaller ships were very high in the sky. I was in the drivers seat of my car and stopped, waiting to turn left on an entrance ramp to Route 6 North. I looked up and saw the ships. I grabbed my cell phone and took a few pictures of the sky. When the photos are enlarged, I can see a small black orb. In one photo, you can see 2.
