Probable conventional

Aucamville, Midi-Pyrénées · France

Au petit matin du 10 décembre 2014, un témoin observe plusieurs rayons lumineux vert puis un objet massif au centre de la Lune, assez grosse ce matin-là. Le phénomène est ovale et allongé. Le témoin apeuré cesse son observation et ne sait dire combien de temps le phénomène a duré. Un seul témoignage est recueilli. L’étrangeté de l’observation est due aux faisceaux et à l’ovale décrits devant la Lune lors des différentes phases de l’observation (voir le compte rendu d'enquête). Ils rappellent fortement à la fois un pic d’un essaim d’étoiles filantes et la présence d’une trainée rémanente de météore devant la Lune. Il est à noter que la position du radiant des Géminides, un essaim particulièrement actif et alors proche de son pic d’activité, était proche de la Lune, ce qui est tout à fait cohérent avec l’hypothèse explicative. L’ovale allongé rappelle également un phénomène astronomique rare et sujet à discussions, à savoir un phénomène lunaire transitoire (PLT). Néanmoins, l’hypothèse d’une trainée rémanente devant la Lune est la plus probable. Il ressort de l’analyse que l’ensemble de l’observation se rapporte à un probable pic bref de l’activité des Géminides. D’étrangeté et de consistance faibles (témoin unique, pas de photo, manque de précisions) ce cas s’avère être une méprise probable avec des phénomènes liés à une pluie d’étoiles filantes. Le cas est classé B, méprise probable avec des phénomènes liés à une pluie d’étoiles filantes (météores, trainée rémanente). [GEIPAN classification B — Météore]

Palmdale, CA

We were walking my dogs in the desert. It was dark and we had just started walking into my neighborhood from the desert. I noticed an odd sound coming from a long wall that encloses houses, separating them from the desert. At first I thought there was something in the bushes. It was an electrical sound, kind of like bees buzzing; or water running, or, a rattle-snake sound. It was a distinct, loud buzzing vibration that I couldn't figure out. I commented on it to my boyfriend walking behind me. He pointed out a craft with red and white lights in a southwest position in the sky, but I kept focusing on the sound below. The more I followed the sound vibrating in the bushes along the wall, it seemed to keep moving with me. Finally, I realized it was coming from the space craft above us, and the sound from it was vibrating below. I had originally figured this aircraft was an airplane of some kind but upon closer observation, I realized that it was unusual how it w! as hovering in the same spot for several minutes and not moving. It was an oval shape, and the lights and sound were the most distinctive features. I kept watching it for a long time and then it suddenly turned off its lights and headed in a bee-line toward the mountains, which was in a western direction. I continued to hear the unusual vibration while it became softer, and observed a dim light and shaped of the craft as it disappeared over the San Gabriel Mountains. It moved rather fast too. I later speculated that it was definitely a UFO and neither one of us had ever seen anything like it before, and we are elderly. It also seemed to me that it may have been using some kind of ultra-sound to take pictures of the terrain below, or was looking for something. It even occurred to me that it was possibly a craft using vibration or super ultra-sound to levitate. I had heard of experiments in this area a while back. My boyfriend and I were both amazed by this experience. I felt unthreatened by it, at the time of the experience, and my dogs did not seem disturbed by it, but they did seem to notice the sound that we heard and were curious about it too. Later at home, I started feeling a little uneasy at the possibility of what it could have been. I looked up some images of UFO sightings and there was one that correlated with what we saw; an oval-shaped craft with red and white lights. The entire experience lasted for about 10 minutes.

Los Gatos, CA

As I was driving Highway 17 early in the morning with by husband a very bright big oval shape object caught our attention in the Los Gatos hills. I quickly took much phone put to record it but as we came to a turn we lost sight of it behind some trees. We tried looking around for it while driving but it had vanished. Had never seen something like it! Witness provides no contact information. PD

Rochester, MI

Well, driving home on Rochester road there was this space craft seemed to be sort of filling us.. Now, where I live there is light pollution so you can't see shooting stars and anything like that. All of a sudden this bolt of i don't even know, what looked liked a shooting star hit the craft. We pull into a church parking lot, the craft is literally so low, we could see it, it was still just like we were, had a greenish almost blue glow. We start driving again, the craft does this weird turn but ever so smoothly and heads the direction we are in. My friend screams out the car windown nothing happened, we turn down this dirt road and all of a sudden boom it's gone.. But the most scariest interesting part of this whole entire thing, earlier that night at my friends house this sound I could not explained occurred, and lights flickered, and all of a sudden her basement door was open. Then animals in the house became terrified. I felt this weird feeling in my body, I wasn't afraid I was expecting them, but something was in her house. We called the police thinking maybe were crazy and someone waist had broken in, the police found no evidence, all if the cabinets were open, all of her art supplies were open in the cabinets, the bar downstairs fridge open. Then the sound stopped right when the police came. Twenty minutes after they left we got in the car, drove around.. And saw what we had seen…

Mesa, AZ

Three circular shaped lights, one on top of another, appeared and disappeared over east mesa. The top one flashed, then the bottom, then the middle, then the bottom moved west, and they all came lower and still appearing and disappearing. The bottom one shot off to the sky and the other to continue to go lower and slowly west then eventually all disappeared.

Northumberland, PA

This is the second time my wife and I saw this object. We saw it a few nights ago but I didn't have my phone on me. Tonight, I got a pic and a 2 minute video of the object. The object was orange in color and changed to red. It glowed bright. It came from the east. The object stopped in mid flight. It then moved slightly left and right before going backwards and northeast.

Miami, FL

Originating in the east at an altitude below the clouds. Two silent, glowing orange craft in a formation. Each craft had 4 lights arranged in a tight diamond shape. Their light was steady with no flicker or strobing. The intensity of the light was greater than Venus and almost as great as the first quarter moon in the west. They proceeded to fly over us at a steady velocity towards the w-sw direction. They were followed by two more identical objects spaced much further apart and not in any type of formation. By the time the last object was flying overhead, I had grabbed my 8x50mm binoculars. I observed the 4 lights in the center, surrounded by a translucent glowing halo of sorts. The entire sighting lasted about 5 minutes. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

New Tampa, FL

Sitting out back. Noticed one amber light coming above the treeline, then noticed two amber lights coming above the treeline they were almost lying in a pattern there a squadron would however once they got to approximately 45 degrees in the air from our line of sight the light went off on each and every one of them at the same physical location in the sky you could actually still see them though they were a light brownish color almost an olive drab 0 sound they were extremely large I would say maybe I don't know a quarter of a mile above us and you literally could watch them the whole way and we have video we have pictures we just have no idea what we saw and then another stick if you will or squadron comes through so the total of about maybe 8 to 10 they came through for witnesses very interesting one of them actually went back the other direction so then what I mean we can we're still not back here we hear coyotes we hear crickets but we heard nothing when they went over and you could literally make out detail to an extent shape definitely so enjoy that guys

Brenham, TX

Wednesday 26 November 2014 0530 a.m. I had just walked out the back door of my house to drive to work. As I turned around after locking door, I noticed an odd light in northwest night sky, about 80 degrees above horizon, and about the size of a full moon. The object was very dark with a faint amber golden light and appeared to be spinning. The movement of this object did not appear to be a straight steady line but more of a gyrating motion as it moved away. There was no sound, just the sighting which lasted about 15-20 seconds. The sky was clear, winds from the southwest at about 8 m.p.h. and temperature about 48 degrees.

Ingham (Australia) · Australia

On our way back I noticed a light in the sky in the corner of my eye on the left side of the vehicle. I looked over and I seen the UFO, if was just like in the movies it was round and had round flashing lights all around it and it lasted a few seconds and moved slightly to the left than disappeared. We called my girlfriend's sister after that and she told us that where they live, all the power had gone out and it was weird because the the ufo was in the sky was the same direction as where they lived. I have told friends and family, but no one seemed to believe me and just asked me if I was on drugs. I watch the movie area 51 and it made me think that I should tell someone because I know the truth. I don't know what's in that base, but I have always been interested to know and I guess that was a sign telling me all these theories are true and that aliens exist unless our government were doing a trial, as well. Everything I am saying is the truth, and I can swear on any of my loved ones lives that I seen something that night and it wasn't from our planet. You have permission to publish this but I'd rather not say my name or details. Just call me anonymous. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Torrance, CA

Saw what appeared to be a red balloon at first, but it was traveling quickly, as if motorized, but was silent. Watched it cross the sky only a few hundred feet up, heading northeast, with a red glow as it disappeared in the hazy lights of the city. The sky was mostly clear, except for a few clouds in the distance. No moon, but the stars seemed brighter than normal. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Zephyrhills, FL

On a somewhat clear but slightly cool evening with a few clouds, 11/18, at 7:49 pm, I was standing at the end of my car port looking in the sky as usual. As I turned to the west I observed very clearly 2 oval extremely bright reddish-orange almost hot looking heading very slowly heading east. They were spaced apart with some distance and never got any further than that during the entire time I watched. I immediately called 2 friends of mine that lived directly in it's path 6 blocks from me. I told them just to go out and look upward. I stayed on the cell while they went out and said they saw them and were astounded. I hung up and continued to watch as one fell behind the cloud cover. There were no sounds, no other visible lights, no wings. They just moved with precision with no sense of urgency. After I lost sight of them within 5 minutes 2 more oval shaped reddish-orange craft appeared from the same direction, same altitude moving at the same rate of speed. Again, I watched it as it slowly disappeared. These 2 moved at a slightly faster speed so I'd say I watched it for 3-4 minutes and it was gone. I called my friends again and thoroughly discussed this sighting in more detail. As I told my friends I noticed a lot of air traffic during this event but couldn't make them out but I can't say with any certainty that they were military in nature which seem to last for about 30 minutes.

Puyallup/South Hill, WA

Orange/Yellow lights proceed to circle around in a large circle. They flare up and shine brightly within the same spot as they continue along the same circular path they're on. They have been doing this for a few hours now. It's very pretty.

Tunkhannock, PA

I ran upstairs to see if It crashed into the mtn. behind us. I am a nursing asst. I am not crazy. This was so orb like an exciting, yet jittery to the nerves. I could not take my eyes off it. I looked on the news the next a.m. and nothing. I will walk to the bowl of the mtn. Today behind the house just for my own sanity, it was so low I felt it had to crash. This memory will go to my grave with me,absolutely phenomenal. Thank You for your time.
