What a surprise to have captured an unknown tonight! I have several unknowns (High Resolution Pics each over 1 MB) from several web cams that I haven't submitted or reported for fear of looking foolish for having captured so many in a short time. source: www.mufon.com

They are difficult to describe. I'd never seen anything like it before... but there was an obvious energy disturbance taking place directly above me in the sky. Then a small white cloud appeared out of nowhere (now here). It was just suddenly there. It didn't form... one second it wasn't there and the next second there was this peculiar little white cloud that showed up and looked about the size of a softball. An even smaller piece of this small white cloud separated from the main cloud. The main cloud quickly disappeared...evaporated or something... leaving this peculiar little white triangular cloud in the middle of the blue sky. The swirling energy was no longer noticeable by the time the main little cloud disappeared. Then this little bitty (gee, it's hard to gage size in a huge blue sky with only one little bitty cloud... but I'd say it looked about the size of a big marble... a shooter I think they call them. source: www.mufon.com

As I watched it for a few minutes, it stayed in the same place in the sky, but changed shape from crescent to oval to circle, (in no particular order). When it was in a round shape, another small dot of light appeared just to the right of it, the same red-pink color, probably 5-10x smaller than the initial light. The second light moved from the upper right side to the lower left side of the first light, but was visible the whole time and I don't think it actually crossed in front of the light, rather moved underneath it. Now on the left side, the second light sat there for maybe half a second, then moved towards the bigger light and was absorbed into it. Then it turned back into a crescent shape and faded out until it disappeared.

I stood there for maybe a minute, waiting to see if it would appear again. It did appear-- all of a sudden, no fade in, in exactly the same spot and exactly the same color, in a crescent shape. I watched it for a much shorter time, maybe thirty seconds, and then it disappeared again. I can't remember if it faded out or totally disappeared.

I thought to run downstairs and get binoculars during all of this, but i didn't want it to disappear while I was gone.

I've been trying to rationalize this and there are only a few answers I can come up with. One, is that there is a municipal airport to the south of us, as well as the Boston airport to our northeast, and we often see planes from either airport over our house. However, it was overcast and there was no break in the clouds as far as I could tell that would allow aircraft to be seen. I also didn't hear an aircraft, though it probably would have been too far away to hear. The light also didn't move. It seemed too low in the sky for it to be an aircraft that appeared not to be moving because it's so far away.

There is no way I mistook the sun for this light, because as I said, it was in a southerly direction. I also checked the sunrise time yesterday, which is listed as 5:09. As soon as the incident was over I checked the clock in my room, and it was exactly 5 am. My clock might be a little off, but I don't think it's off that much. It could have possibly been the sun reflecting off of something in the sky, but again, the sun wasn't up yet and it was overcast. Which, by the way, raises another point-- it seemed as if this object was far away. I don't know how high the clouds are when the sky is overcast, but if I saw everything correctly, either the clouds were high and this object was far away, or the object had some quality to it that made it look far away when it was really much closer, beneath the clouds. If the light was really just a hole in the clouds, letting through the light of the rising sun-- again, I'm 95% sure that it was before 5 am when I saw it, and even if the sun was starting to come up, I don't think the color of the sky would be that intense pink-red already in the south.

So thank you very much for documenting this... if you try and contact me about it, please only do so by email. source: www.mufon.com

It was too high in the sky for a hot air balloon, and its size was way to big for a balloon to be observed at such long distance. source: http://ufos.about.com

Although I felt excited and somewhat in disbelief at what I was witnessing, I tried to make sure I remained calm and not get too over excited as I watched the object flying across the sky. I wanted to go grab my binoculars that were in my car, which was at the front of the house, but at the rate of speed this object was flying I knew I would not be able to get back in time before it flew out of sight.

We live less than 1 mile from our local airport and are 4 miles from Eglin AFB ("as the crow flies"). I am an aviation enthusiast, so I have a good idea what an airplane looks like and sounds like. There was no sound or any navigational lights on this object as it moved across the sky.

Based on my observation angle of the object in relationship to the horizon, I estimate the altitude was between 5,000-10,000 feet. At those altitudes even small engine airplanes can be heard. But what struck me as odd, other than the fact there were no navigational lights, was the speed at which this object was traveling. I estimate the object was cruising at over 1,000 MPH and although the trajectory was basically in a straight line, the object seemed to vary its speed (almost like short hesitations or jolts in speed).

I watched the object travel to the north-northeast (towards the Vernon & Defuniak Springs, Florida area) for about 60 seconds and then out of sight. This object was too low to be considered a space satellite and had no illuminated vapor trail to be considered a meteor. source-www.mufon.com

Approx. 20 min later I came outside to bbq some late night burgers. I walked over to check where I had seen the UFO and immediately I saw it in the sky. It was more to the east(right) of where I had originally seen it and it was much closer. it was now hovering. Also,I was seeing it between the roofs of two barns(which eventually made it extremely easy to gage the movement). you could now see that it was dull green in color, giving off a red hue every now and then. If I had to guess I would say it was at least still 60 kms away. for the next half hour all three of us watched this thing "dance" in the sky. It stayed in generally the same area of the sky, but it flew very erratically. It would be going left, then all of a sudden just start going right. down, then up. but it wasn't just vertical or horizontal, this thing was flying at all different angles.

Also, it's speeds would very a lot. it would dive down vertically very slowly then shoot up very fast. We did have a pair of cheap binoculars which did not help us see it any better(it just looked bigger). We also snapped a couple of pictures with a digital camera which did not come out any good(to far away). It was in the sky for so long that the girls got bored and went back in the house. I watched it for about another 10 min. before getting informed that my burger was now cold. i went into the house for approx. 3 min. to nuke my burger, when i came out it was gone. Trust me this was no plane or helicopter. source: www.mufon.com
