California-08-23-08-I was on my patio having a cigarette, when I noticed something in the sky. The "object" was very high up. I see a lot of planes in the area, this "object" was much higher than what I am used to seeing. At first I thought it was a satellite, but realized that it was too bright of a sky to see any satellites (I know you can see them at dusk or at night, but not this time of day).
It moved slowly across the sky. I went inside to get a pair of binoculars, when I came back it took me about 30 seconds to find it again. It looked like it was spherical in shape and a shiny metallic color. I watched it for about 7 to 8 minutes before I lost it against the bright blue sky. source: www.mufon.com
Kentucky-08-10-08-I went outside to just take a look around. My dog was barking. She was facing the field across from my house. I looked around and then noticed the UFO. It was "dancing". It moved left, right, up, down, in circles, and in a looping J-shapes. The lights kept flashing from red to white. It looked like a large star, slightly larger than any star in the sky, larger than Jupiter appears. I was feeling quite happy watching this thing "dance" in the sky.
At one point it seemed the object was beginning to move closer to me. I became a bit frightened. It then retreated to its former distance. I watched it for five minutes. It was located low on the horizon, just above the tree tops behind the field. I then went in the house to see if my daughter was still awake so she could enjoy the sight. She was already in bed. I went back outside and looked to the southeast, the direction where I observed it. It was gone. Then I looked around the night sky and saw it or another similar object higher in the sky in the western sky. It was farther away, or perhaps was a smaller object. I watched it for approximately 5 minutes, and then returned to my studio to paint. A bit later I went outside to look for it again but it was gone. source: www.mufon.com
South Carolina-08-24-08-I was sitting outside on the patio with my girlfriend, the weather was nice with sunny skies and a few wispy clouds. I often watch the skies when I'm outside, hopeful to see something out of the ordinary. I just happened to lean back in my chair and look up. High in the sky at my 1 o'clock position there was what appeared to be a black crescent-shaped object, heading south. At first I didn't think anything of it, I initially assumed it was a large hawk riding and gliding on high air thermals. I continued to watch it out of curiosity. I noticed that the movement was at a steady pace and there was no flapping of wings if it was a bird. I would estimate the height of the object to be about 30 K, the same altitude as a lot of the jetliners that fly over.
I listened for any noise from the object, but didn't hear anything. I tried to get my girlfriend's attention and point out the object. Just then a low flying Cessna type aircraft came flying over and diverted my attention. When I looked again, I couldn't see it anymore. I told her what I saw but was unable to locate it again. As she scanned the sky she saw the same type object at our 10 o'clock position, traveling the same direction and at the same height. We watched this one closely. It was crescent-shaped and black, traveling straight and level with no noise. We both agreed it was not a typical airplane. I was in the Air Force for 10 years, and I have seen many different types of aircraft. This object had no nose or tail section, it kind of reminded me of a flying wing, except the curve of the crescent was slight. 15 minutes later, two jetliners flew over at the same height and we could distinctly hear the faint roar of the engines. source: www.mufon.com
Texas-08-22-08-I was on my back porch, smoking a cigarette. From the south a solid black object was coming under the clouds. It was shaped like three black eggs or footballs bunched together forming a triangle... about as high as a small plane. It flew right over my place and when it passed my roof, I ran inside looking for my camera or binoculars.
About thirty seconds later, I ran to the front of the house and watched the object slowly fly over the Austin downtown area. I noticed other small planes in the same skyline and the sun reflected on them. This object moved like a plane, in a straight line, and seemed to follow the I-35 Highway that runs through town. I watch the skies often, and this was something that honestly looked manmade. I'm just wondering if anyone saw or knows if the city has some unmanned surveillance equipment. source: www.mufon.com
Great Britain-08-24-08-Whilst walking back from a friend's locally, I observed 2 orange lights moving north-eastwards over Oxford. These were followed by 3 other lights (also orange) in a straight line following the first two. The motion was steady and in an exact line. My battery on my phone ran out (typical!) so I could not get any video evidence. This must have been seen by others as the local public houses were just emptying.
There was no sound whatsoever from the objects. As an avid UFO watcher, I have not seen anything like this before (although I have seen a UFO about 15 years ago). It seemed as if the objects were directly over Oxford, as I was observing from Kidlington (about 5 miles away). source: www.mufon.com
That's a wrap for this week, but come back next time for more sighting reports. Until then, keep your eyes on the skies.
