Vertical Sliver Bright White Light Over New Berlin Wisconsin

Date: October 9, 2010
Time: Approx: 6:00 p.m.

Brian, around 6:00 pm before sunset on Saturday, October 9, 2010, I was sitting in the car, waiting for my husband to pick up the pizza, when I looked into the western sky over Waukesha, Wisconsin. It was a vertical sliver of bright white light, slightly wider at the top and tapering to a point at the bottom with sharp corners.

It stayed in one place for approximately 10 minutes as I looked and tried to figure out what it was. It was not a hole in the cloud. It was brighter than anything around it. The sharp corners did not look like any natural configuration.

I tried to reach my husband, but the pizza place was crowded and he did not answer his phone. A few minutes later, this vertical bright patch of light moved to the west and down into the horizon where I lost it behind buildings. When we drove away, I could no longer see it anywhere.

This morning, I was searching for comments on the internet to see if anyone else had seen it. Sorry, I did not think to take a picture with my cell phone.

(name removed) in Milwaukee, WI (as seen while parked in New Berlin, WI)

Large Bright Orange Light Over Cincinnati Ohio

Date: October 10, 2010

Time: Between 8:30 and 9:00 p.m.

Brian, I saw your post about orange lights in the sky over Cincinnati Date: July 11, 2010 around 1:00 a.m.

My wife, mother-in-law, the tow truck driver and myself all witnessed an orange light larger and brighter than any stars moving horizontally across the sky and then it seemed to just fade out and dissipate. A few minutes after that another one appeared in the same spot, followed the same path and faded out at the same spot.

This occurred somewhere between 8:30 and 9:00 we believe. We were busy working on the car so did not note the time.

From Loveland the lights were North East in the sky between 35 to 45 degrees up in the sky. The lights lasted for about 30 to 45 seconds.

Have you heard anyone else seeing this tonight? Thanks.

Object Observed Over A Remote Ranch In Central Texas

Date: October 9, 2010
Time: Approx: 1:30 - 3:00 a.m.

I was awake early am 10-9-10 approx: 1:30 -3:00 am, sitting out on the deck enjoying the night sky. We have a beautiful view of the eastern sky, and are in very remote ranch land in central Texas. There is an aircraft pattern that is visible from far southeast to northwest generally.

The objects that we sighted were traveling from east to west. The craft traveled slowly and seemed somewhat erratic moving slightly from side to side.

As the object came closer, it was obvious that there were lights that were much different from the usual aircraft lights, the colors were red yellow and blue and pulsated, looked very much light an emergency vehicle. With binoculars the lights were very bright, almost unbearable to watch.

After about an hour we realized there was another object coming from northeastern sky traveling south towards the original object, but was much further away. I wanted to stay up and watch, but grew increasingly tired and went to bed. Have there been any other reports of these objects? What the heck did we see? Thanks.

Orange Yellowish Lights Over Woodland Park New Jersey

Date: October 9, 2010
Time: 5:10 a.m.

Location of Sighting: Woodland Park N.J.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of Objects: 2
Shape of Objects: Circular.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I awoke very early yesterday morning with a text on my cell phone from my daughter who lives out in Arizona. Well, needless to say, after I had read her texts I was awake. I got up and went into my living room and it felt fairly cool out there because I had forgot to close the windows before I went to bed. So, I closed all the windows and lastly as I went into my kitchen to close the second window above my sink.

I noticed this bright light out back, which is ordinarily pitch black. So, of course I was like, what is this round orange yellowish light? a star? no way too big for any star. A meteor? no, because this light was pretty much stationary. A second light appeared to the left of this light, not attached, but much larger in size, identical in color, but it would change size from very large, to very, very small until it was invisible.

This much larger ball of light repeated this several times. I was in disbelief, I ran to my youngest daughter's room to wake her up so she could see this. She woke up very quickly, which now that I think of it, it was a miracle in itself. I took her to the kitchen window, at that time, there was just the smaller ball of light, very small, but returned to the original size when I first seen it.

This light did not get one half the size as the other orange yellowish light. I waited about a minute or so, and the larger light did not return. I quickly got dressed and ran out to my car to take a drive to see if I could get a better glimpse past the tree line, but I seen nothing, like a seen out of my kitchen window.

Shortly thereafter, I was sitting in my kitchen having a bowlful of oatmeal. It was still dark outside. My daughter and her father were watching a DVD in the living room. As I was washing my bowl out in the sink, I looked out the window, the same window as before and I see the 'smaller' light reappear at the same location as before. I quickly called my daughter and her father to the window to see this orange yellowish light, her father was in disbelief now. But, it was there, like nothing we have ever seen in our entire lives.

Orange Light Over North Attleboro Massachusetts (Chinese Lantern Picture)

Date: October 9, 2010
Time: Approx: 7:00 p.m.

I too have seen these objects on several occasions beginning this past summer. My wife and son have seen them too.

We saw them last night, October 9, 2010 over North Attleboro. I took some video and some photos using a strong telephoto lens, then cropped in on the object.

There were at least 12 that floated over our house in a north to south direction at about 7:00pm.

I posted the photo on my Facebook page and got several responses, most wondering what they were.

I finally found the answer. They are hot air paper balloons.

Someone has a hobby. Don't know where they are launched from though.

Check out this YouTube video found on the net: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcGP0hdq13w&feature=related

Attached is the photo I took.

Thank you to the witness for sending along a good photo of the object. (Chinese Lantern)

Numerous Colored UFOs Flying In The Sky Over Rockland New York

Date: October 9 and 10, 2010
Time: 11:00 to 1:00 a.m.

Location of Sighting: Rockland New York.
Number of witnesses: 4 or more.
Number of Objects: 5-15 objects.
Shape of Objects: Circle, triangle.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I live in Rockland, NY, West of my house so about 20 miles north of Manhattan myself, my girlfriend, my mother, father, friend all witnessed at first an object moving like a bee would, flying probably in space or far out in our atmosphere. Later my girlfriend and I witnessed about 9 very dim objects flying towards the other craft, some flying at rates of speed a plane couldn't fly.

I mean shooting left right up down, turning blue, yellow red, at one point the largest one had a red glow around it very faint. There must be Earth made objects trying to observe because they are moving also up there, but like snails compared to the speed of these UFO's. They would get close and a cat and mouse game where the UFO would just easily fly from one spot to another.

I mean across the sky and wait for the snail like objects (taking hours to even get close). Then would shoot up or down side to side to keep away. There is an amazing thing happening right now I hope others have reported this, I cannot believe the amount of objects that are in the sky right now. At some points it would like triangular the brightest one with other little lights to make the triangle, but then it would move by itself. I am completely serious about what I saw I even called local police to see if any sightings were reported.

They said no, but my friend was not at the same location and saw the one object moving, I have been outside all night observing but my camera won't catch the images as they are too far. Last Saturday I saw just one object same spot, now there are many of them. Feel free to call.

Reddish Orange Fireball Over Yorkville Illinois

Date: October 9, 2010
Time: 10:05 p.m.

October 9, 2010 at 10:05 p.m. Two other friends and myself were sitting outside when all 3 of us spotted a reddish-orange fireball travel across the sky. It traveled a southwest to northeast direction. At first we thought it was a meteor, but it never disappeared like meteors do. There was no sound and there was only one. It looked like what a plane might look like if it were on fire.

It appeared through the trees and went right over the top of us. We watched it until we couldn't see it anymore, probably about 30 seconds. It was very bright but it didn't blink. We have planes fly over all the time heading to O-Hare to land. There were not blinking lights and we can always hear the planes. This was probably about the same elevation as the planes coming in for a landing but it wasn't anything any of us have ever seen.

Shortly afterwards a plane did appear and we could hear it and see the blinking lights. This was round in shape. I would love to know what we saw.

Strange Silver Light Moving Vertically Over Chicago Illinois

Date: October 7, 2010

Time: Approx: 6:40 a.m.

Hi Brian, I know what I saw yesterday morning, however I cannot claim that it was "aliens", but I did see something strange in the sky that I had never seen before. It was around 6:40am in Chicago, IL on the southeast side. I was driving down 95th ST. headed east towards Stoney Island Ave. The sun was starting to come up, but it was over to the left quite a way about a few blocks worth.

But straight ahead I saw a sliver of light in a vertical fashion that was moving. I knew it was not the sun because it was coming up and the moon is not shaped like that and wouldn't normally be seen at that time of day and that low in the sky. A friend of mine had mentioned something about an alien sighting in China to me just the morning prior on Thursday. I told her she was crazy and laughed it off.

Then I get up yesterday morning and saw this strange light and I still didn't think anything of it until I came home yesterday evening and told my brother what I saw. The description and shape, was the same thing that they saw in China he said. I still have not seen the news or anyone's newspaper to see if anyone else saw what I did. All I know is that it was really strange!

Sincerely,

Confused in Chicago.

Reddish Amber Lights Over Lansing Michigan (Photos)

Date: October 9, 2010
Time: 9:10 p.m.

Brian, I saw most of the unidentified group last night. I was at Waverly Rd. and Tecumseh River Dr. It was exactly 9:10 p.m. when the came from the Southwest and were heading Northeast.


This is just South of the Lansing Capital City Airport. Surely radar must have detected these. It was a clear sky with no moon of course.

I estimate there were well over 15 of them. They were all the same reddish-amber color, like in the glowing coals of a wood campfire. They seemed to be faintly pulsating.

The first were grouped loosely together with some individual drifting motions between them which indicated they were individual entities.


Quite a few followed in a single line after the initial group but they were not evenly spaced apart. They were totally silent and I estimate altitude to be approximately 5,000 feet.

I was very excited to see these too. I struggled to take pictures of these with my new cell phone camera. I fumbled around with it because I hadn't used the camera function yet. I have attached two pictures that are the best of the lot. They only show specs against the night sky but clearly show the objects colors and the number within first grouping I witnessed.

This is a big deal and the more people who can confirm last night's sighting, the better.

Dozens Of Red Orange Lights Over Mid Michigan

Date: October 8, 2010
Time: 8:40 - 9:15 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Mid Michigan.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: Dozens.
Shape of Objects: Round.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was driving home last night and while stopped at one intersection I noticed 3 orange/red lights in the sky above some trees. I saw the cross street had a number of cars so I thought that it might be balloons for a party, but when they changed direction and kept a triangular formation, I tried to get my camera phone out to take a picture. My camera didn't want to activate as I got to the next intersection and once the traffic cleared for me to continue and the lights were out of sight, my camera became active.

After a brief stop at home I decided to drive around looking for the lights. I thought it was odd that it seemed like the neighborhood dogs were barking more than normal at that time.

After driving around the local downtown area I was on my way back home when I noticed a 'path' of dozens of the lights floating across the sky. The lights were scattered a distance to the north of a parking lot that I stopped in. The lights all moved the same pace from west to east, all holding their formation with each other. No blinking, oscillating, wandering, etc. It was almost like the lights were like spray paint on a pane of glass, and the sheet of glass was being moved across the backdrop of the night sky.

After watching the lights started to disappear and fade off into the distance I was pulling out of the parking lot and I noticed someone else pull in with the same 'what the heck?' expression that I had, but I wasn't able to get the driver's attention to talk to.

UFO Looks Like A Toy Top Over Wood County West Virginia

Date: October 8, 2010
Time: 7:30 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Wood County, West Virginia.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Like a child's toy top, about the size of a Quarter at arm's length. (25 cents).

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Just after sunset, with the glow on the horizon. I stepped out onto my front deck and noticed a dark shape, like a toy top. I thought it was a small, lone, cloud, until I realized there were no clouds anywhere else and the object was moving north quickly. I yelled for my wife to come look, confirmed that she saw it, turned to get binoculars from the seat behind me, and it was gone.

It had no lights and made no sound. It moved north beyond the tree line quickly. A single engine plane came in from the west just afterward, they could have seen it, since the plane crossed in front of where I first spotted the object.

A check of weather.com shows no clouds for a 200 mile radius, 3:00pm to 8:00pm, 10/8/10

Not my first sighting, Mr. Vike has received some of my other reports at his former website. Regards.

Orange Flaming UFO Makes A Turn Over Twinsburg Ohio

Date: August or early September 2010
Time: Evening.

The descriptions of UFOs on your site sound exactly like what my son (14) and I (56) saw one evening recently (not sure if it was late August or early September).

Anyway, we were in Twinsburg, Ohio, when we saw what appeared to be an orange flaming mass drifting slowly in a southeasterly direction, toward us. It maintained that direction for approximately a minute, growing in size. The object was so startling, I pulled to the side of the road and lowered my convertible top to get a better view.

It was difficult to judge size, speed and altitude. Relatively, at its largest, it looked slightly smaller than a full moon typically appears in the sky. If it was very close, then it might have been only a few feet in diameter, at an altitude of perhaps a hundred feet, and traveling at only a few miles per hour. If, however, it were at a very high altitude, then it was massive - twenty times the size of conventional aircraft - and traveling at hundreds of miles per hour. There was no sound, nor evidence of smoke from the "flames." The flames did not appear to be the result of thrust of any sort. There was no marking, structure, or otherwise discernible feature.

After a minute or so, it took a broad turn to the southwest, and continued into the distance, diminishing in size and brightness until it was no longer visible. This took another minute or two. The fact that it did not appear to approach the horizon as it grew more distant suggests to me that it was gaining altitude.

Let me know if you have any other reports in this time-frame, near this location.

Lights Appear In The Sky Then Aircraft Over Keithville Louisiana

Date: September - October 2010

Time: Evening.

I’ve been seeing these bright lights in the sky here in Keithville, LA now for a few months. I’ve really been observing them. It appears that maybe our government knows about them. Because after I see these lights, planes fill up the night sky. A couple nights ago I saw the bright light moving across the sky. It moves about as fast as an airplane, but has no blinking lights.

It looks like a star, but a little brighter. It fades in and out sometimes. I saw two of them or maybe it was the same one. It moved across the sky from south to north then faded, then in the north I saw another one go from north to southwest. Then shortly after it disappeared I saw 3 planes come into play. One from southwest, one from southeast, and one from north. They almost hit as they crossed right above me in the sky, the planes were all within inches of each other in my view.

I could have put my thumb over all 3 planes above me. Then they all flew off. I have checked the NASA website and others on locations of satellites in the night sky and none were in my location at the time of the sightings. I have seen them along with my wife, brother-in-law and mother. My mother lives in Alabama and I was home visiting family and saw them above Birmingham, Alabama also.

I’ll keep an eye out, if you need any more information please let me know. I am at work at the moment and ran across your website on this issue. I was in the military for 10 years, Air Force, and I know planes. These lights are not planes that I have ever seen. If they are ours, they are some type of Secret Experiment that I know nothing of. Thanks.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: My daughter and I were standing outside on our porch when we noticed a ball of fire in the sky it did a half loop and then traveled straight north until we could no longer see it.

Yellow Orange Object Over The World Trade Center Number One New York

Date: 1970's

Time: Evening.

Location of Sighting: #1 World Trade Center.
Number of witnesses: 4
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Yellowish orange globe.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I and my friends decided to head to the observation deck around 8:00pm. We were watching the city at night with it's spectacular view. To our surprise a glowing ball came into view at the level of our floor. I said to my friends in disbelief "do you see what I see?" "Yeah" he replied and continued to watch.

I watched this object move through air as if it was observing it's surroundings. Moving horizontally on the other side of the glass when it suddenly stops for a second and proceeds again in a methodical robotic precision maneuver.

It makes a 90 degree turn and starts to descend exactly 45 degrees against where I'm standing and looking at the Brooklyn Bridge to where it was heading. I watch it descend until it just disappeared. Judging the way it appeared, it looked about the size of a large balloon, but shining bright yellow. What got me is the way it was moving so precise. I could only think of it as being "Ball Lightning", but the weather outside was crystal clear, not cloud in the sky. I'll never forget that experience for the rest of my life.

Bright Red Orange Object Over Ocean City New Jersey

Date: Early August 2009

Time: Approx: 9:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Ocean City New Jersey.
Number of witnesses: 6
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Unknown shape, red/orange glow.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I just came across this website so I figured it wouldn't hurt to tell this event to someone. It was a clear summer night in Ocean City NJ. My family and I were sitting on the beach at night just looking at the stars and relaxing. Off in the distance to the south coming north we see a bright red/orange flying object flying parallel to the shoreline.

Our first assumption was some kind of plane going to land at the nearby Atlantic City airport. Continuously watching the object and as it got closer to us we didn't hear any sound coming from it. This is when it got weird. All of the sudden it turned east, but still on a northern track, headed out to sea, and then went north again and slowly began to descend towards the water still tracking north then disappeared into the water.

No sound, nothing. We didn't know what to think. At first we called the FAA to see if any planes had just crashed and they said everything was fine. Their explanation was it could have been a rocket from Cape Canaveral, but very unlikely considering the track the object took. To this day we still think about that night and it boggles our minds to think what we actually saw.

Indiana Box Shaped UFO Sighting

Date: September 24, 2010

Time: Approx: 5:30 p.m.

Hello Brian, I'm writing because I Googled "box-shaped object sky Indiana" and instantly came to this article: http://the-v-factor-paranormal.blogspot.com/2010/07/large-box-shaped-ufo-seen-on-i-80.html

I Googled that particular phrase because I saw something odd in the sky about a week ago.

My wife and I live in Texas and had flown into Indianapolis on Friday, Sep 24, 2010. We were heading to Lafayette for a couple of days, and rented a car to make the last leap of the journey. We were on the road and leaving Indianapolis by about 5:00pm that evening. Not too far into our drive, I noticed something peculiar in the sky. At this point, we were on I-465 and close to exiting onto I-65. It would have been in the general 5:30'ish pm time frame. Still broad daylight outside.

So as I was driving, an object in the sky caught my eye. It was pretty much straight ahead and low to the horizon. Distance to the object was very hard to judge, but it wasn't close. If I were forced to put a number to the distance I would guesstimate in the 3 - 5 mile range. If it was indeed that far out, thinking about what a large commercial airliner would look like at any of those distances, this would have been several times larger.

What I saw was a rectangle, plain and simple! It was roughly two and a half to three times longer than it was tall, with sharp corners. It was dull gray in color, several shades darker than the (clear) sky behind it, but not overly attention grabbing.

I didn't notice any lights or reflections. It was moving at what I would call a slow pace, from our left to right (so east, to east-northeast). It was low enough that we would lose sight of it behind the trees as we drove.

I pointed it out to my wife and said something along the lines of "hey look, a UFO!". At the time, I was just joking. I will be the first to admit that I'm fascinated with UFO stories. I don't know that I fully believe that we are, or have been visited, but I'm open to the idea. My wife just rolls her eyes and leaves the room if I'm watching a show on UFO's. :) So we have a difference of opinions there and I was pointing it out just to push her buttons, fully expecting to explain the object as we got closer.

We never really seemed to get closer to it though. We were able to see it for at least 5 minutes and although traffic was heavy, it was flowing fine at the time so we were going 60mph or so. This is about the only thing I have to base my distance estimate above on. It was moving away from us at about 90 degrees, so as we got closer to where it would have crossed the road, it had moved on along its own path and we eventually lost it for good due to trees along the road.

While I can't tell you what it was, I can tell you what it was not. It was not a meteor, a cloud, swamp gas, a satellite, or the space station. It was absolutely, positively not a jet, a prop plane, or a helicopter. If I am completely wrong on the distance scale and it was considerably closer than I'm saying, then given it's size in the sky, we would have been able to clearly make out traditional features like propellers, rotors, wings, etc. There were none.

We actually were never able to make out any "depth" to the object either. It may have just been the way that we were lined up with it the entire time, but it was more like a flat plane (as in a two-dimensional surface, not as in "airplane"). This made both my wife and I comment that it must be an advertisement banner being pulled by a small airplane. The speed it appeared to be moving would have been acceptable for that scenario. But there was no small airplane and no discernable text or graphics on the "banner".

I have never seen a rectangular blimp/airship (again, there were absolutely no rounded corners on this, draw a normal rectangle on a piece of paper and that is the exact shape we saw!), but after excluding jets, prop planes, and helicopters, that is the only manmade flying "thing" that my brain has left for an explanation. Despite that process of elimination, the same brain is also saying "ehh, that wasn't a blimp".

In short, neither my wife or I have an explanation for what we saw, and that is why I went looking on the Internet for others who might have seen it and been curious. It was rush-hour traffic, so there were plenty of eyes pointed in the same direction as ours. As I mentioned initially, the object wasn't exactly screaming for attention (muted in color, low on the horizon, and no lights or fast movement) so I can completely understand it escaping the attention of a high percentage of people who were paying more attention to traffic than I was. But surely someone saw it!

For the record, I am 37 and have worked in the IT field for about 16 years now. Photography is a pretty serious hobby of mine, and I usually go to at least one air show per year to photograph. That certainly doesn't make me a professional witness, but I've got a pretty good concept of what "normal" objects in the sky look like. My wife doesn't share my love of air shows, but she is a tenured engineering professor at a major university, so she has her fair share of brains and logic upstairs.

On the topic of photography, I'm kicking myself because I had my camera with me, but made a very conscious decision that I wouldn't need my 500mm lens on this trip, so I opted to pack lighter and I left it at home. I wouldn't have been able to capture anything of usable detail with the lenses I did have with me (I hate pictures where there's a speck that someone is claiming it is a UFO or a ghost or Big Foot or Elvis!), so I didn't bother getting off of the Interstate and trying to find a safe place to stop because it would have just made us late and frustrated me when I saw that I didn't have anything to show for it.

Anyway, we live happy normal lives and are simply curious about what we saw, not making wild claims and definitely not seeking publicity. If you hear anything more, I would certainly enjoy hearing about it!

Thanks.

Saucer Shaped UFOs With Lights Over Norco California

Date: October 2, 2010
Time: 12:30 a.m.

Hi Mr. Vike, I have written this twice now, but your site has some very similar posts so I have to share with you as well. I hope you don’t mind, but I am going to leave out all of my debunking ‘proof’ because I have followed the paranormal enough to know the way to debunk UFO’s and until this morning. I have always been able to write off planes, helicopters and military crafts pretty quickly.

Driving home from my friend’s house last night at 12:30 a.m. in Norco, CA (map attached) I saw two objects or sets of lights. The one to the right was a bit closer or higher in altitude and at first it sparkled or flickered an amber color of lights, looked like 5 lights or so from my distance.

The one to the left and further away or lower flickered the same, and it looked almost as if they were communicating. Often in the 5-7 minutes I was watching the lights they would dim out to darkness and all I saw was the moonless black sky.

At one point they stayed dark for a good 30 seconds and then the right object light up very bright, like a bright yellow flare, but had the effect of a spotlight when it is pointed directly at you, and immediately dimmed out, like a police spotlight would if it passed over you and you were staring directly at it.

Like I said, I went over every possibility in my head to debunk what I was seeing but these objects were so far away no light I have ever seen could reach me as bright as it was.

The lights continued after that in a consistent bright yellow, the flickering amber to darkness. The best I could tell from my viewpoint (coming down a higher elevation, practically the same elevation as what I was seeing though) the objects were saucers or at least horizontal with 5 or more lights spanning from left to right, small, larger, largest in the center, smaller and small again.

I wish now that I had pulled over to watch more, but seeing the one point at me or at least get bright like that kept me moving in my car and I just watched them some more before finally driving away from them to make my exit and leaving them in my rear view mirror.

I would be very interested if you have any similar reports from the Corona area from last night, October 1 around midnight.

Thanks for listening.

24 Reddish Orange Lights Over The Westside Of Chicago Illinois

Date: September 30, 2010

Time: Evening.

Hi there, I'm glad I came across this story. I saw the exact same thing last night and a multitude of others in my neighborhood. I was sitting on the porch when I first saw a group of 13 "gliding" silently headed south (I live on the Westside of Chicago). I then received calls from my sister who described the same thing and I told her that I was already looking at them.

She was scared senseless and my sister is a tough cookie. She's not into the UFO thing, but even she knew that those weren't the type of aircraft that we would normally see. There were about 24 altogether and they all had a reddish/orange glow that was constant and seemed to fly in formation.

After the initial 13 there were more that seemed to "appear" 1 after the other and continue in the same direction. I was too shocked to even consider recording it on my camera. This is the strangest stuff I've ever seen and I can't get those eerie images out of my head.

Orange Red Lights Over Elyria Ohio

Date: September 18, 2010
Time: Approx: 9:00 p.m.

I live in Elyria, Ohio and my entire family witnessed the same thing Saturday night at about 9:00pm. We tried to video it with a cell phone, but the lights would not show up in the camera. Any idea what it was?

Red Blue Green Light Object Over Port Orange Florida

Date: October 1, 2010

Time: 9:05 - 9:30 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Port Orange, Florida.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: N/A.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Red, blue and green light object in western sky. It was hovering. Hard to tell what the "body" shape was, but it did not appear to be round. It was hard to tell due to brightly flashing colors which were very distinctive and bright. Lasted about 20 minutes before slowly moving west and below tree-line.

Brian Vike's note: This does sound like a star from the description of the colors to the object moving slowly to the west and below the tree line.
