Went to smoke my bedtime cigarette, went to end of large garden, laid on the grass and as I do, I look up as the stars in Kent aren't the same (visiting my parents btw) I've been caught to very high altitude, low continuous glow of a line moving in the sky, as both eyes locked on and I focused, there it cleared to 8-10 very distinctive yet very faint dots in a solid single lined formation moving over the sky's, too high to be birds at this time, flightrader has nothing of the sort and I was mesmorised by these objects which then frazzled out as the outer skys brighter than when I locked on to begin with. If it wasn't Military (which don't fly weekends here, nor a drop to land at that altitude, etc., is veeery unlikely. My staffy Bailey even decided to whine to go in, (almost waking the parents!)

It was approximately 10:40pm, 17th Saturday, June 2017. I was in the garden with my mother and she pointed out a strange object in the sky. I didn’t notice it at first, because I was facing my back towards it. When I looked up I saw what looked like a fireball flying in the sky. It looked like it was quite far away, I don’t know how far up or how big it was. It looked like an orange-ish and red circle with flames coming from the top of it. It flew quite quickly, at first but then it slowed down, the flame also seemed to slowly be dying down, and after it slowly got smaller, it just disappeared, the last bit of flame went out really quick compared to before, it also seemed way too quick for something that was burning to be put out, but I don’t know much about fire so I might be wrong. It was silent and didn't leave any trace. It was only there for a short period of time before it disappeared. I have recorded a few seconds of it, you can’t see a lot and I didn’t record it going out or it changing speed. It also looks like the fireball kind of glows up or gets bigger at one point in the video but that’s just my camera adjusting to the light/me zooming it, it didn’t do that in reality.

Bright sphere seen to enter the atmosphere/sky and project towards the earth surface at speed in a direct straight line with no derivation and remaining incredibly bright in colour - lost sight due to tree line/horizon, it emerged back in the sky at speed and then continued its initial path and went out of sight beyond the tree line - the object was moving too fast to be an obvious known aircraft and was a total bright sphere.

WE SAW SEVEN ORANGE COLOURED DISC SHAPE OBJECTS IN THE SKY, WHILE DRIVING HOME. THEY WERE GOING ACROSS THE SKY FROM WEST TO EAST AND FLIYING IN FORMATION QUITE SLOW. THERE WERE TWO LOWER AND THEN FIVE STRAIGHT LIKE AN ARROW. WE WERE ASTOUNDED AND PULLED INTO A LAYBY AND STOPPED THE CAR AND PUT OUT CAR LIGHTS. I GOT OUT AND THERE WAS NO SOUND AT ALL. IT WAS COMPLETELY SILENT, WHICH WAS UNUSUAL. WE THEN OBSERVED ANOTHER ORANGE CIRCLE COMING FROM THE SAME DIRECTION A BIT FURTHER BEHIND THEN ANOTHER. AT THIS POINT I GOT MY MOBILE PHONE OUT AND TOOK A PHOTO OF THE TWO REAR ONES, AND THEN ANOTHER APPEARED FROM THE SAME DIRECTION MAKING 10 IN ALL. WHEN I CHECKED THE PHONE LATER, ALL I SAW WAS TWO DOTS. WE HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS EVER BEFORE AND WE ARE USED WITH AIRCRAFT OVERHEAD. THIS IS THE STRANGEST THING I HAVE EVER WITNESSED AND WHY I FELT IT HAD TO BE REPORTED. I HAVE SPOKEN TO VARIOUS PEOPLE AND O ONE ELSE SO FAR HAS SEEN IT. The witness called the NUFORC Hotline from Scotland. He sounded to us to be quite serious-minded. We suspect that he is a very good, and highly reliable, witness. PD

In my kitchen. I turned to get a drink and saw a green tubular light like a travelling orb about the width of a grapefruit, shoot from the bottom end of my garden towards window, then arced upwards and shot toward sky. My garden was in darkness. The light was not at floor level I would estimate it at 4-5 feet from ground and I saw it travel approximately 14 feet towards kitchen window just before it reached window, it arced upwards.

I am a male, 64 years of age, married and a retired Photographer. I went outside as my dog was barking, I live in the country so no other buildings around. I noticed a white orb light about the size of a 1 pence at arm's length. as I was looking at it, it reduced in size very smoothly to nothing no noise. The sky still had some twilight left in it so no other stars etc. Clear sky.

Me and my father were standing on the back garden while he had a cigarette, when suddenly, we saw an anomalous object high in the sky. The object had the shape of a bulbous pistol. It was flying incredibly slow and was emitting a dull pink glow in the centre and looked transparent in places. It seemed small but was significantly high in the sky. It was also swinging from side to side, like a pendulum, as it moved. It eventually disappeared over a line of houses.

my daughter took a video at approx 15.00hrs of 3 grey circular objects, she described as looking like hockey pucks tumbling in the sky. They possibly had lights or could have been the suns reflection. the only explanation i could find was police drones as were in lockdown due to Covid. i found another video from the next town to us of one of the same objects posted on twitter, same date and approximate time. fast forward to yesterday and i found another video posted to twitter dated 5 days ago taken in Wigan, UK (a long way from us) of the exact same objects again tumbling through the sky. they don’t appear to be drone behaviour in my opinion or that of the other 2 who took their videos. a UFO twitter account looked at them and does not think they are drones and believes they have an aura. another person has also tweeted today about possibly seeing the same but at night. this is my daughters video https://twitter.com/anthillmob74/status/1263381481407361024?s=21 the other video from the same day locally: https://twitter.com/callumrckb/status/1251548869818802176?s=21 this is the wigan sighting, i believe he saw 8 in total https://twitter.com/moggsuk/status/1261734746528387076?s=21 and this is the possible night sighting https://twitter.com/sxnshxne2/status/1263442407443529728?s=21

Bright red light, came towards us at high rate of speed (faster than anything conventional I have seen), moving at low altitude (approx. 200-300 feet up), with no engine sound, or trails. Without any sign of slowing down, it came to an immediate stop. Hovered for a about 5 seconds, before shooting off at instantaneous massive speed in a 90 degree angle to its previous flight path, all the time with its red light pointing toward us (it didn't bank or rotate, the front of the craft was facing us at all times).. It repeated the same manoeuvres as before (each time flying off at 90 degree flight paths to its prior flight path) two more times, doing same as before.. instant acceleration, then instant stop, before finally shooting instantly off at incredible speed and out of sight. Its movements were perfect, no banking or turning, constant altitude, extreme acceleration and stopping capabilities. All in all this was quite a close encounter as it was at all times within! the immediate location of where we are, almost as if it was showing off for us. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite serious-minded. We suspect that he is a highly reliable, and capable, witness. PD

Ringwood, England, DORSET · United Kingdom
I saw 2 green orbs flying in formation. They remained in formation as if they were one craft but I could see it was defiantly 2 craft. I regularly watch the ISS go over my house and am very familiar with its 17,000 mph traverse through the sky. They tracked exactly like the ISS. Very very fast and with purpose. I observed around the edge of both craft a white wave-like swirling that was only around the outermost edge of the craft. These waves were inside the orbs not like a haze on the outside of the sphere. I thought they were in orbit at first but they came down from the west and as they went over my house headed south towards Bournemouth. No sonic booms. For years I tried to pass it off as rocket boosters or the like but I would guess from the recent research they were real. Having been seen since the '50s by various other people.

On the 04/04/2017 I was looking out from my bedroom window after hearing a dull humming sound coming from the field at the side of my bungalow, the time was about 11.30pm.... I went out and started to walk towards the field.... I saw Lights coming from behind trees and I thought it might be some sort of Farm machinery. It has been known for the Farm To a work late at night.... Why I went to investigate I can not explain as I have never done that before. I just had a feeling I had to go and look..... The lights where about 10ft apart and not very bright. They where about 5ft wide and about 5ft high... The shape of the ship was roundish dome and appeared to have a dull grey finish but it was dark... For some reason I did not feel afraid and looked at it for a little while, I suppose I thought that it may have been a military aircraft as we are not to far from a base.... The total size was about 50 to 60 feet across and the hight was about 25 to 30 feet and it did not seem to be touching the ground..... Somehow I found myself inside the craft. I have no recollection how I got there.... The interior had very dim lights and had a very strange smell of almonds.... There where about 4 or 5 small humanoid figures in the shadows...... I could not hear any voices but they seemed to be conversing with each other..... It was hard for my eyes to adjust to the light.... I was on a floating table that was moving around... It felt like I was there for only about 5 minutes..... but I was there for about 90 minutes..... I found myself by the path by my bungalow about How I got there I don't know, the time was around 1.00am...... I don't recall seeing or feeling anything being done to me. But I did feel very light headed for around 20 minutes afterwards..... I told my my wife when I got home what had happened, She did not believe me at first.... She did go looking for me about 20 minutes after I had gone to investigate but did not see me or any ship..... The whole thing was very traumatic and I am certain what I saw and experienced...... I have had three dreams since that experience that have me in a room and again on a floating table. I don't remember much apart from being surrounded by small ( about 4 to 4 and a half feet tall) humanoid beings...... They don't seem to be doing anything to me but I do feel restrained by my wrists and ankles I am not struggling to get away and strangely feel very relaxed.... The beings have heads that are out of proportion to the rest of there bodies. They have 4 fingers on each hand with a gap between the middle of their fingers.. They have very large eyes that did not seem to have pupils of any kind They had no ears or what I would call a nose. No hair anywhere and grayish in colour with very smooth skin. They did not seem to be wearing any clothing but the lighting was very dim as if strong lights would have been uncomfortable for them... The lights inside where oval in shape and about 3ft in size. There where about a dozen or so.. I was coherent for about 10 or 15 minutes I would have put this down to dreams but they have all been exactly the same and on one occasion I woke to have marks on my wrists like strap marks I do have pictures taken by a friend... I can't explain any of this but I do not want to know what if anything has happened to me for personal reasons.. I have reported my experiences to Mufon but the have not followed it up because I don't want regression therapy.... ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Hi Peter Thatyou for your reply I did report the incident to Mufon at the time but they wanted me to undertake regression therapy at a cost to myself, this would have cost hundreds of pounds and when i declined they did not seem interested anymore. I did not report it to any law enforcement as i new i would have suffered some sort of ridicule. The incident happened a while ago now but i thought that i would report it to you so it may have the recognition that i feel it deserves. Thank you very much for putting it on your website as it may give the public encouragement to report more incidents. May you have a very happy Christmas and a successful New Year. Best Regards ((END ADDENDUM))

Me and my two children seen seven spherical ufo,s above us at the park on a clear blue day. The larger of the two were extremely black and we're completely still. Three of the smaller lighter colored craft were in a triangle formation and also still. The two remaining craft we're moving about around the other crafts. After half an hour of watching three of the craft dematerialised, leaving the ufo in formation visible and the darker larger one. Then soon after the other two vanished. It was quite an amazing experience, and I felt a sense of peace while observing. I would relay like to no who was piloting these things. It was breathtaking for us all.

Coming out the door of my upstairs flat and looking south, I noticed a very bright white light in the night sky over a nearby field at an altitude of about 900-1,000 feet (so it cannot of been a star or planet), I watched it for some seconds walked downstairs and It looked for a few seconds like it had some kind of aura or haze underneath it or emitted this aura/light/haze deliberatetly or not. It the light then seemed to fade away come back and then fade away again. This is the same field where I observed and filmed a highly strange glowing pure white disc/saucer shape craft hovering over on 22nd June, 2002.

2 bright star like objects one above the other appeared near to the Great Bear (or Plough) constellation. The lower of the objects was same apparent brightness as Venus, the upper of the objects approximately as bright as Jupiter. I didn't see them appear, I was photographing the seven sisters star cluster and was looking for something else to photograph when I saw these 2 objects - and being an amateur astronomer, I know that there are no bright objects in this location at this time of year. I observed them for about 20 seconds - then thought I should snap a photograph, but my camera was mounted on my telescope. By the time I dismounted the camera from the scope, I looked up and saw the upper object disappear, followed by the lower object disappear approximately 2 seconds later. These were not conventional aeroplanes, or satellites as they did not move and were completely static in the sky. Nice illustration provided by witness. We agree with the witness's comment above that no bright celestial objects are present in the northern sky. PD

Looking at stars towards the south and I noticed the corner of my left eye a flash in space like a camera taking pictures, so I turned and looked up into space and noticed a faint light moving between the stars, then another flash occurred and noticed how large the unidentified object was. It was around 5 times bigger than the stars, it flashed again and moved then stopped, then another flash. Could it be the international space station or a satellite? Possibly a tumbling rocket casing?? PD

The object i saw in the United Kingdom was a boomerang shape, me and partner was walking on the beach here in Cornwall (Portreath Beach) we sat down by the cafe, and we heard a humming noise and an eerie silence we looked up and saw this big boomerang shape object we sat there for 3 minutes and stared at it. All of sudden it dissapeared.

i was travelling from the Swan Pub, at the top of the lane, as i started down the lane towards the Copcut pub, I noticed a white static light come over the tree tops, and over the top of my car, thinking it was a shooting star, i looked up to see a triangle jet black craft going over head, a light was at each corner, it length was that of a large plane,, i thought it was one, so i wound the window down to hear no engine noises, as it passed quietly over head, i slowed to watch it move at speed, about 100ft up...in a straight line, heading away towards Redditch… only seeing the rear corner light as it went...the others were not visible..... email ((e-address deleted)) i clearly saw the shape and its body was dense black....to blend in with the darkness....but the city lights showed its shape of, as it kept away from our town...travelling across country in the dark

Flamborough (UK/England) · United Kingdom
Between 23.00 hrs and 00.20 hours on 14/1/17 - many strange red/orange lights flashing at random in the window. Sometimes they would flash close together and sometimes one at a time within 3 mins. The lights appeared like fireworks and became more intense towards the end with low popping noises like electrical surges. We think it sounded similar to the equipment used by paramedics to restart peoples hearts! Myself and my daughter were present and we live in a rural area near the lighthouse - it was not white light from the lighthouse however and they were not flares as they went on for far too long with the popping noise occurring shortly after the lights. I am a full time mature student (also work for local govt) and my daughter is a student.

29 November 2016 at around 2:15AM i was in my back garden looking in the opposite direction of my house. i saw an object with 3 white lights and 2 flashing red lights at first i thought it was a helicopter the way it was moving but as it passed me i was able to see it and it was triangle with white light at the bottom. It was hovering without any sound what so ever..i couldn’t believe it stood for a bit juz gazing it then i ran into my house and took my phone and was able too take a quick video as it hovered away my phone was at 1% but still got the video... i tried running after it but it was moving too fast for me... it did not despair just went away... i can send the video
