color changing sphere in chile

NUFORC posted:

One sphere,size of a house,moving slowly west to east crossing the road,at an estimated distance from our car 200 yards and not to high 50 -70 yards. We where in the midle of the desert returning from Tacna the border of Peru to Arica the city we use to live. the most amazing thing was that the sphere was changing colors from blue to green,to red yellow and the colors where moving on the sphere like floating on its surface and giving a look of a gaseoous and solid object at the same time.Look like liquid metal. We saw it disapear slowly to the east and after that we start the car without saying word at least for 15 minutes after the observation,there wasn't anything to say it was an extreme shocking experience.

cigar over st louis

NUFORC posted:

i was siting in my car at hampton and watson facing north forest park was at horizon line. the trees were starting to green up real good when i noticed a brownish gray shaped thing above the park .it floted there a min or less diped into the green of the park back up into view .lifted up about 4 times its lengh and started moving to the west it was out of sight it about 5 sec moving in an upward angle into some high cloudes. the thing was in the park between my drive line and barns hospital about by the horse stables, when it started my distance was about 2.5 to 3 miles from the craft it was aprx 150 to 200 ft in lengh and no it was not the arena. this was a clear blue sky sighting

zig zagging copper colored light

NUFORC posted:

This object looked like a bright star, zig-zagging, abruptly stopping & then zig-zagging @ a high rate of speed above Boulder, Colorado. This event took place while camping above Boulder, CO. on Flagstaff Mountain. At this position we had a very clear view of the sky & the town below. The object went from one end of the sky to the other & was witnessed by myself as well as 4 other friends. This took place approximately in July of 1969. We were all just kids & no one would believe us. Since then I've been in the military & have traveled abroad & have witnessed another sighting in Terrell TX. The object was copper in color , it came out of the woods as I was driving down the road late @ night & I lost sight of it as it shot straight up. This happened in 1978 on or around the month of May right off highway 429. This was an unpopulated area @ the time.

orange sphere descends into forest

NUFORC posted:

I was driving home and noticed a round orange ball in the sky. At first I thought it was a Shell gas station sign that was five miles away. That particular sign was very tall and located next to an interstate hwy. Then as I thought about it, I realized that it couldn't be that sign it was simply too far away and I had never noticed it before. This was a rural area with open fields and scattered houses.

As I paid more attention, I could see this round orange ball, which must have been 75-100 ft. in diameter and maybe a mile away, was gradually descending to the ground.

I thought there should be a logical explanation even including a hallucination, but as it descended (very slowly)it started to change shape from round to elliptical.

As it decended it's light filtered though distant trees as it apparently settled in a field. At this point I knew it was real but I was totally puzzled as to what I saw.

The change in shape has fascinated me. I ruled out a hot air baloon; I have see those at night and the entire baloon is illuminated. I have thought that the orange color was produced by heat.

Until now, I have only told a few people about this. In those days there was even more stigma and most people just laughed it off. I now know others have reported seeing something similar to this, and that is why I am offering my account - to support this mounting evidence.

That early morning I simply went home to bed and never investgated it further. I wish now that I had explored the area where it landed.

Whether it was from this world or another, I can say it was not natural, it moved in a very slow and controlled fashion. The color was not glaring but more diffused almost like a harvest moon would be.

gold orbs group up, multiply, and then shoot away in different directions

NUFORC posted:

Sarasota, Florida summer 1968 or 69 Beautiful day, some clouds, I'm standing waist deep out in the gulf, looking back towards shore. There are other people, trees, houses ect on the shoreline.

Over the tops of the trees, I see a glowing gold orb, ball shaped, but no way to tell the size, not very big from my vantage point, but very bright.. It sort of darted around some, and then 2 more glowing gold balls showed up.

They all went together in one spot, 2 of them went to the 3rd one, but it didnt get bigger.

But when they were all in one spot, after less than a few seconds, all of the sudden, 5 split off in different directions up and away, very fast, and were gone.

Whole thing took less than 10 seconds. I can still see the relative scene, but I never could decide how big they were, or how far away. It seems I was rather far out in the water, that area is very flat and you can go 100 yds or more out in the gulf and not be in very deep. The shoreline was very far away as I recall, at least 100 yards.

NO one else seemed to have noticed, and I dont remember anything after that. Sure do remember it tho! They really glowed, and were very golden colored. didnt pulse. Darted around like a hummingbird does, zip zip, back and forth, up and down, nothing we have can do that even now really. It was totally cool and I wish I could see more stuff like that.!!

"Cigare volant" is for cylinders.

This one caught my eye... That description of "We just sat there silently for 15 minutes" strikes me as someone going through "lost time" either without realizing that they did, or that the time-loss phenomenon didn't affect them as strongly as the others in the car.

There's still Alaska

Surely we'll not go 0/3 in recovering things that are vitally important to shoot down right that minute with no additional information

I don’t buy this at all.

They recovered whatever they wanted to recover and stopped looking after a couple days. Theres people up there who were taking first hand accounts and watching flight activity out to the sea ice and posting it on TikTok/YouTube. Not a lot going on around Deadhorse and the supposed shoot down was close to the coast so it’s hard to confuse the activity with anything else.

Oh for sure. They're lying about recovery, that's a given.

So we can't see the pictures, can't see the data, can't hear from the pilots, and don't even ask about the debris. Nothing is conclusive but we know they intent was probably not malevolent, maybe, possibly, and it could be hobby balloons or it could be sky trash.

Pondering the orb with a bunch of other people all at the same time was a popular activity back in the 60s and 70s. A bunch of UFO zines would publish messages and times so everyone could ponder together at once. It was rad.

They have it on the books but I find it very hard to believe that if they thought their territory was being genuinely threatened they wouldn't break them out

It's not like they haven't threatened to use nuclear weapons in the past, during the sino-viet war they explicitly told Russia that if they did anything to help Vietnam they would nuke them
