My husband and I had just lay down, had only been in bed for a little bit we heard a humming sound coming from outside not a loud humm a low humm. I got out of bed and went to to the window and looked out to see if I could see what was making the noise. I looked in the sky and saw a very large plane shape craft very low over the trees and moving very very slow, the craft was not moving as fast a planes do around here. I told my husband to go with me outside, so we went out on our front porch, all we could see was a dark out line of the craft, no lights at all and then we looked across there was another plane shaped craft with lights along the wings but not round lights these were like squares patches of lights very bright. The crafts made only the humming noise no loud plane noises like all the planes that fly across our house from Semore Johnston air force base in Goldsboro always do . We watched the crafts fly low and slow in the sky one no lights at all and the other with light square on the wings only till the went out of sight heading north toward Rockymont, NC. Then after they went out of sight my husband went back inside I stood there for a few minutes just watching the sky and then here came a huge red light round and fast it was out of sight in just a second . I would really like to know what these things are and what the heck is going on, can someone please tell us. Witness provides no contact information, so we are unable to communicate with her. PD

On Tuesday night around 9:33 pm my husband and I heard a very loud noise outside our home. We went out to see what it was , we looked south in the sky from where the sound had come from and saw a Very Large Craft gliding in the air just above our house, making no noise at all, it looked kinda like a plane but made no plane noises, it was a dark gray flat color, and had wings but shorter than a plane does, the ends of the wings were turned up a lot higher than any plane we have ever seen.I work at a near by hospital and my husband is a auto paint and body man ,we live near an air force base so we have seen a lot of different planes over the years but nothing like this at all. The very large craft had a bright white light in the front of it moving from side to side ,the bright white light did not look as though it was part of the very large craft. There was only a red light on the bottom of the craft but no other lights and it was not flashing,all the planes we have seen around here have flashing lights on them , we watched the very large craft as it glided over us without any noise at all, there were cars going on the road in front of our house, but they did not seem to notice the very large craft up in the sky just above them, they just kelp going . we stood and watched as it moved through the sky going north west till it was out of sight and then we just looked at each other and said what do we do now . I went in and called my mother and asked her what to do, she is writing this for us cause we did not know where to go or what to do or who to tell. she has also seen unexplained thing in the sky as well.
