Hi yes I did. My partner and I was taking the dog for a walk on Wednesday. I was looking up at the stars as normal and saw two moving what looked like stars in the sky. There was no noise like there would be from an aircraft. The way they moved was amazing, it looked liked they were going to crash into each other. Then they started moving zig zag, up and down but it was all really fast. Like the way a bird would move. With no limitations on the direction it wanted to go. My partner and I was watching this with our jaws dropped! Then as quick as they were moving they just vanished! I even rang the police emergency number go report it, but they just basically said that they wouldn't know who to report such a thing too. No help whatsoever. The whole incident lasted about 2 minutes. If you need any more information please do not hesitate to contact me. Or point me in the right direction as to whom I could get some answers from. Yours gratefully, ((name deleted))

I have been taking photos of the moon. And I was getting bored now the moon is de-clipsing. I'm a silly mooring eek. I got scared so I closed my window after a few pics which I have a few totally unclear shots. Though it sort of went out of my view but it didn't dissappear but shifted out of range of my window view. It was green boomerang shaped. It merely looks like a misty splodge and non-descript in my photos. It moved like wooooom and not jaggered darting. Smoother but fast enough. It moved a few times like this. 5 maybe 6. I am with my cat and she has been escaping me as we have been on moon mission so it is odd that she has plonked herself between my legs and is staying with me.

At around midnight, on September 23rd, me and my friend noticed two bright lights in the sky, we have been seeing these lights for over three months now and we have also seen a few others similar, we believe in ufos and we have experienced some crazy things in these three months, including power cuts and huge green beams through my window when these 'lights' are in the sky. This night/morning was very different though. We started noticing that what we thought were stars were actually hovering about the sky really fast, and there were so many of them, then saucer shaped lights were moving across the sky, There was hundreds of them as the morning went on, it got to about 3:30am and we went outside and looked up and we could see actual spaceships, it was unreal!! There was flashing lights everywhere, ufos everywhere!! We haven't spoken to anybody about it be because we don't know who to talk to, we have video and photo evidence and we are still very much in shock! !! While it was happening we felt very dizzy and unwell. This isn't the first time we have experienced a sighting, but it's the first time we have seen 100's at a time! We saw people walking around the neighbourhood at the time and tried stopping them to ask them to look up at the sky, but the walked past us and ignored us... It all felt so surreal, like a dream!! We really need somebody to talk to about this! Please. Contact me ((number deleted)).

2 x bright lights traveling North through the constellation Cassiopeia, almost directly over head. Travelled very slowly, maintaining the same distance apart, almost directly North. Very bright like aircraft flares. Passed through Cassiopeia and then went out together. I am in the Royal Airforce and consider myself a sound witness. I have not seen anything like this before. They were not aircraft, and there were other commercial aircraft in the airspace at the time doing the usual blinking between red and white light. The 2 UFOs were not flashing, just constant slow moving bright white lights. The other witness is also in the military, and we are both clueless to what we just witnessed, and have not been drinking.

As it was a heatwave, I decided to spend the evening looking at the stars, watching for anything unusual. I had seen several meteors and very tiny hard to see satellites pace across the sky. One of the satellite sightings was unusual as two tiny pricks of faded light followed the exact same course North to South across my garden. I have never seen that before. I had also seen a bird with stiff looking wings fly over which surprised me as it was dark. I noted the wings were being lit up by the orange streetlights around here. I decided it was gliding and thought I saw it flap as it went out of sight. We have seagulls here which I have seen fly at night in the past, but not often. The heat wave drove many people outside, countless voices jabbered around my tiny garden and I didn’t want to eavesdrop so I put on the radio and listened to C2CAM. The atmosphere was noisy but not really loud. I should point out that I spend hours at a time in the garden for the specific purpose of understanding what is in the sky and how things move up there. One night a helicopter circled over my place (and a hundred other peoples places) for over an hour, it drove me back indoors as it was so loud and ruining my peace. I am an amateur sound engineer so I am always fascinated by strange sounds and their origin. If there was a conventional craft passing over me that night, I am sure I would have heard it, and had a good guess at what type of aircraft went over from the sound. At 23:05, I was laying back on my recliner, watching the stars, relaxed and listening to George Noory, my eyes were instantly attracted to the speeding orange shapes cutting across my garden from South to West North West. I sat up! The objects were about to go out of sight behind my bathroom so I sprinted forward, knocking my DSLR as I went and looked round the building to see them fly away from me. At first I thought the trailing object was attached to the other three and they were all part of the same structure, but the trailing one did quick, insect like speedy movements making it easily appear separated. The objects had a wobble, like they were all independently moving. When I watched them leave it felt exactly like the moment in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the scene where the little red light acts like a comical puppy trying to catch up to the other craft with playful moves. The trailing light flitted toward and away from the formation of three with incredi! ble speed and fluidity. I watched until they were gone. That area of town is very highly polluted with light, there are lots of main roads and roundabouts in that direction. The craft sped away and I was left dumbfounded and annoyed that I had a camera right there and I could not use it. It was in the middle of another 25 second exposure photograph and was not ready for a fast encounter like this one! I ran into the house to tell my partner and write down what I had just witnessed. I was not trembling as hard as I expected, but I was trembling as I wrote and related the tale to my Partner who was napping and had just been woken by my sudden excitable appearance, bless him. I also went on to make a short video blog whilst the event was still fresh in my mind.

I noticed a bright light shining in my room. Looked out my window to see something moving very quickly about 2 miles from my house with a light that shone for miles! Faster than an aircraft or car. The animals in the area were all calling. It darted around. Teardrop shape with a red pointy tail. I think there was possibly two as another light shone which enabled me to see the first craft. Then the lights disappeared. Source of report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. Possible hoax. Dorset is not in the Yukon Territory, which is in Canada. PD

Was standing in my back garden with my wife looking north between 00:30 and 01:20 to view the Perseid meteor shower. The sky was cloud free with good visibility, and there was no wind. During this observation period I saw 11 shooting stars, 4 aircraft, and one UFO. The UFO was first seen by us in the north East at 00:40, and moved parallel and close to the horizon (approx. 15 degrees elevation) across our field of view towards the north west. It was internally illuminated, but not as brightly as the aircraft we also observed at other times during this sky watch, equivalent in brightness to a second magnitude star. The UFO light was not a point source, it appeared more as a very small diffuse orb with brightness varying slightly as it moved, and it left no trail. Colour was white with a tinge of orange. It moved generally in a straight line, but with some up and down movement too, and after moving an angular distance of about 45 degrees from our right to our left it stopped abruptly, remained visible for about 2 seconds, then blinked out. Brightness of the UFO varied a little throughout the observation period, but not with the regularity typically seen from flashing aircraft lights. The most puzzling aspect of this sighting, which clearly marked the UFO as something out of the ordinary, was its apparently high velocity. In comparison with the shooting stars that moved rapidly with angular velocities of around 10 degrees per second, and the aircraft flying over at cruising altitude moving about 0.5 degrees per second, the UFO moved at an estimated 4 degrees per second having taken about 10 seconds to cross our field of view. The UFO was certainly not a conventional aircraft. I would estimate that conventional aircraft which typically fly at 200 to 600 knots would have had to be relatively close to us to have displayed the high angular velocity observed, perhaps no further than a few hundred metres to a kilometre in distance. If this had been the case the noise of the engine(s) would have been clearly audible, this UFO was silent. Furthermore, when the lights of a conventional aircraft appear to stop moving in the sky, when it enters a turn and starts moving away or towards an observer, a significant time elapses as the aircraft completes the manoeuver. When this UFO stopped moving it did so immediately. The UFO also did not resemble in any way a shooting star, meteorite, or a satellite. It certainly was not one of the Perseid shooting stars because it's trajectory was aligned about 90 degrees away from the path of this meteor shower in the region of the sky where it was observed.

It was the 12th August, 2015. I am an amateur photographer and was trying to get images of what was supposed to be the shooting stars. Turns out the shooting stars were further north of where I live. I had quick look through my pictures the next day on the camera screen (Nikon D3100) and didn’t see anything, only today, 1st September, I have transferred my pictures to my desktop pc and noticed 2 brown objects. The intervalometer was set to take an image every 30 seconds. It was a relatively clear night, some clouds but clear enough to see a few stars. I live in a well-lit area of Birmingham so light pollution is a problem. On inspecting the 4 photos of 300 captured, which are taken 30 seconds apart a small brown/red object appears in photo 2/4 with another similar object just above it and to the right of the picture. Photo 3 (30 seconds later) shows the object change direction and fly at a 45 degree angle towards the other object. They both seem to move in tand! em with each other and in the same direction as if the one is chasing the other. I have the images on my SD card which is still in the camera and the images backed up on my PC. The images have been converted from a .RAW to a .JPEG image, if you would like the .RAW then please contact me. I didn’t hear anything on the night, the camera was outside and I was inside watching over it.

Right, okay, so this isn't a UFO sighting as such but something that happened to me a few weeks ago, now i have only told one other person and have not gone to the police or anything because well they won't really do anything. So im hoping that people on here will have some answers to what actually happened and if it will keep happening. A couple weeks ago i was having a really stressful day, and thought that i would take a drive up to a hill where i normally go walking or to chill out. Now this hill is out the way of people and so is quite remote but there are a few farm houses about. I was sat in my car just strolling on my phone when i caught something in the corner off my eye, as first i thought it was nothing more than a cow or some people going for a walk but the longer i stared the more my mind just couldn't make out what it was. Now the area is flat with a few walls and bushes about so it was not a tree or a pole or anything else that may cause my eyes to play tricks on me. Whatever it was just crouched there and stared at me, i just sat frozen to my chair, it then stood up on two legs, and with that another creature stood up next to it, i was just frozen and was unable to move and as much as i tried i could not stop staring. They both walking up around the back off my car and next thing i know i am stood outside my car face to face with them, Now they must of been about 7ft tall each, they had long slim bodies with long skinny limbs and heads not much bigger than ours, with eyes similar to ours but with a yellow look and glow to them and they was the same colour as a dolphin. One off them just stood in the background while the other one was stood in front of me, my body felt really fuzzy and it was something had never experienced in my life, i could also feel a warmth sort of like a wave of heat hitting me. The one being in front of me held out his hand and both of them where exchanging noises that was like a monotone humming with a popping sound every 2 seconds or so. He then looked at me and began speaking but i couldn't understand what was being said. But for some reason the sounds began to translate to english in my head and they where saying "no harm no harm no harm" it was like they where translating the words to English in my head for me. I didn't know how to react when its hand was out stretched but for some reason i felt the urge to hold out mine and grab it, it put its hand on mine and the next part was just a blur and next thing i know i woke up outside my car and 12 hours had passed. i just cant explain that bit because i have never been able to sleep that long in my life even when i am really tired. When i got home i just didnt know what to make off it and honestly i was just hoping it was a bad dream because this is something i cant even begin to explain. I have gone over this scenario so many times in my head since it happened but non of it makes sense. I have had strange nose bleeds and lapses of time that have just gone missing from my day that i cannot explain, i dont do drugs and i do not drink stupid amounts of alcohol, i am a normal person who plays sports and works, and i cant add this together. I have now had 3 nights where i will wake up early in the morning and hear the monotone noise in my head and feel that warm glow and fuzzy feeling and i have now got two strange marks on my body on both of my collar bones. Please someone must have some answers but these creatures match no descriptions of anything and the last conclusion i want is to say that they where aliens but this is the only explanation i can come up with, I have been reading reports and have come across two other experiences which match that of mine, please someone must have some answers because it is getting to the point where i am scared they will come back, i never seen any flashing lights in the sky or anything and never have and the only signs i am getting or this weird feelings in my body followed by this constant missing of time. Also which is strange is that my cat wont come into my room anymore and they are normally dead friendly but when ever i pick them up or go to stroke them they just run like something about me is scaring them away but seem to fine with everyone else. Someone must know something and be able to help. We are uncertain as to whether this is a serious-minded report. We have written the source of the report, requesting confirmation as to whether it is a hoax. PD

Me and my son were watching the perseid meteor shower when three lights appeared on the horizon. The lights formed a triangle formation and appeared to form a large craft that filled a large area of the sky. We live on the flight path of the local airport and these lights and formation are unlike anything we have seen before. I am also an amateur astronomer and have not seen anything like this in over 20 years of observing. The craft seemed to hover over the horizon for a few minutes and then started travelling at a low altitude before disappearing behind low cloud.

Having a cigarette outside, watching the sky… I saw a red light in the eastern sky, between 4 to 5 thousand feet. After a minute, the light started moving slowly closer the light stopped I took some photographs on my phone after few minutes the light went quickly back the way it came then disappeared into the clouds there was no sound...when I came into the house & looked at the photos I noticed the colour was different in each picture...I could only see the different colours on my phone.

I was stood in my back yard at 21:50, when I noticed a light in the sky, flying left right, up and down, with ease, which made me think it's not a plane or helicopter. Another light appeared next to it, but then trailed off. I got my camera and took a few photos. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Whist sitting looking at the stars my parter noticed something glowing in the corner of his eye. He told me to look and as I turned around I saw a very bright white circle glowing and moving quickly across the sky. We continued to watch the object for about 5 minutes until it began to desend, and finally disappear behind a house.

Redhill (UK/England) · United Kingdom
I was driving home along a wide, well lit town street. For some reason I looked up to the left and saw a bright, cadmium red, sphere. Its edges weren`t well defined. Its light was luminous red and the sphere`s outer edge was like a red halo. It was hanging still in a black night sky. I stopped the car and got out to check what I was seeing. It was not a plane as it was so still. There was no man made tower or stadium near by and it was higher up in the sky than anything man-made. There was no centre of white or yellow light in the middle, (as in a lantern). It was higher up than any buildings or trees and definitely not a planet (like Mars). Size is difficult to describe. I perceived it as eighth the size of the moon.

I was mowing my grass when my wife noticed three black triangle craft in the sky. There was a purple hue coming from the rear of the craft and a rotten egg smell in the air. there was a buzzing noise and when my son came out his ears popped. they just hovered and then shot off. my dog was shaking in nervous temprement during sighting.

There was orange shading in a cloud which I got my daughter to take a photo of because it looked unusual. When I looked at the photo at home there was an object in the photo. I showed this to someone else and they said it should be reported. It was in the sky the sun was to the left. I was driving from Oakham, Rutland to Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire.

The weather was very cloudy, with intermittent light rain showers, the object was noted above the line of trees in the sky. This may be easily explained away but upon increasing picture size the object appeared to have an unusual shape with an array of white lights. No sound was noted during its presence or upon its disappearance. (i have not included my full details as no doubt this is something you can easily explain away however my email address is included)

I was sunbathing in my garden, when I looked up and saw what I think and believe to be a sundog. I went in and grabbed my mobile phone and took several photographs of it. I took them lying on the ground looking up. I came in immediately to look at the photo's and saw in all of them a round orb. In one photo, it appears within the ring of the sundog and in another taken less than a second after it appears outside of the sundog. It was white and had several lights on it. In all pics there are different numbers of lights. Obviously being so close to the sun, I didn't see anything with the naked eye. It wasn't the moon as I could see the moon in a crescent over in the western sky. I am more than happy to send you the photo's as I am desperate to know what this object is. Probably a lens flare, we suspect. PD
