I was sitting down on the sofa/couch watching some cartoons, since there was no UFO documentaries on Discovery Science, etc.
The tv started freezing, so my first thought as a Ufologist, was "maybe theres a UFO out there" and then I started to notice really strange noises which changed for some reason. Ive seen several UFOs and this was the first non-silent one.
It sounded like a cross between a plane, a helicopter, a TIE Fighter from Star Wars, and buzz... and with the combined volume of all these, as it was much louder than either one.
Already on my way to the door, I unlocked it and walked out to see what appeared to be just a green glow with a white flashing light. I watched it hover in one direction until it suddenly turned and circled over my house. When it went over my roof, I went back through the house and out to my back garden, where I could see it up close - It was long, black, and either triangular or cigar shaped. with a green light on each side, a smaller dim red light on the back, and a flashing, larger white light in the middle.
I didn't expect it to, but it went around in circles above my house several times for about 25 minutes.
It appeared to be flying in a straight line until I walked out onto the middle of the road and started to record it... It was as if it knew I was watching...

MUFON CMS - Angel Fire, New Mexico - 8/26/2010 - (unedited): I live about a mile north of the end of the airport runway in Angel Fire, NM. Angel Fire is in a valley at an elevation of 8,400 ft surrounded by mountains of roughly 10,000 ft to the east and 13,300 feet to the west.
Just before 9 pm on August 26 I heard and felt a window-rattling noise, which caused me to go outside to investigate. Once outside, I looked up and saw a large helicopter (with bright exterior lights and dim interior lights, noise, spinning rotors) traveling slowly in a northward direction a few hundred feet above Hwy 64. Immediately in front of the helicopter was an object approximately four times as long as the helicopter. The object was bullet-shaped on both ends and cylindrical between the bullet-shaped ends. The object had no lights, no wings, no markings or windows that I could see, and made no sound. It blocked out the stars behind it. I was able to discern its shape by the shape of the area of blocked-out stars and by the moonlight which illuminated its underside.
The night was clear, with no clouds and easily-distinguishable stars. The moon (just a couple of days past full) was rising over the mountains to the east at the time I saw the object.
It appeared to me that the object was being "escorted" by the helicopter behind it. Both the helicopter and the object moved at a steady, but slow, pace. The unknown object traveled steadily with no wobble or other movement. I watched the helicopter and the unknown object for about three minutes until they disappeared over the horizon. (The helicopter lights were visible for about three minutes Ð the object in front of the helicopter became unseeable after about a minute and a half.)
My feelings? Incredulity! Curiosity! Why was a large UFO flying so low and why was a large helicopter 'assisting' it?

MUFON CMS - Daly City, California - March 2005 - (unedited): My boyfriend at the time and I were living in a friend's tiny fifth-wheel trailer on a hilltop in Daly City, California. It was directly in the flight path of San Francisco International Airport; we were watching "Cops" on TV, and Phil had passed out after dinner and a few beers. I remember watching this particular episode with a growing feeling of dread. A SWAT team was preparing to bust a major drug dealer, and I was suddenly overcome with a terrible premonition that I was watching a destiny that might well be ours if I didn't act to prevent it soon. I had no idea why, or what, or even when--so I did what I always do when I get scared and don't know what to do--I prayed, saying the Lord's prayer, pleading with Him to save us, to give us a reason to persevere, motivation to stay together and try to make things work. I remember practically begging Jesus to return for us.
I worked on the flightline for six years while in the Air Force, so I am quite familiar with the sounds planes make when they fly overhead, and the Doppler effect on sound as it moves. And that's why I found it a bit strange when an aircraft flew directly overhead--and stopped, hovering over the trailer, shaking the thing like a giant rattling maracas. It was very loud, and sounded very powerful, because even the loudest of airplanes didn't come close, and in any event nothing that powerful can hover This lasted for roughly ten minutes, then the sound and rattling faded. Minutes later, the exact same thing happened, and repeated twice more for a total of four times. A few months later, I learned that I was pregnant, and had conceived in that time frame.
Why is this incident remarkable? I wouldn't have even given it a second thought, except for Phil's history, and mine. His uncle was working on Roswell AFB the day that ship crashed, and what he saw he refused to tell anyone until a few years ago when hr did an interview for a UFO documentary that aired on the science channel in 2007. And when I was three, my dad took me to a clearing in the woods next to our home on Millstream Road in Woodstock, New York, in the spring or summer of 1971. I was terrified of the big gray "hippopotamus", but my dad wanted me to not be scared, to believe it would be ok.
Also, Phil was born in Roswell; his birth certificate states November 27th, 1964. He was in the army, and before we met for the first time in 2003, I believe we'd never met. Our paths, however, had crossed many times. And my son, in an ultrasound picture of his fou month fetus, he is sitting cross legged with wide eyes looking right into the camera, and i kid you not looks for all the world like one of the small, large-eyed aliens like we often see in sketches, as if he wants to know who's peering in at him.

ntnews - The accidental photograph on today's front page of a UFO over a popular tourist destination occurred only hours before a bright light buzzed the crowd at the Katherine Show.
Victorian tourist Adam Rewuk did not realise he captured the image of the flying saucer over Katherine Gorge until he looked back over his photos after the trip.
"My Dad used to be a big UFO believer, so when I saw the picture, I thought of him," he said.
"I took the photo around lunch time, but I saw nothing in the sky. I didn't realise it was there until I saw the photo."
Mr Rewuk said the image was definitely not that of a plane or a mark on the lens of the camera.
"If I zoom in on the picture, it almost looks like a diamond shape with a bubble on the bottom," he said.
Mr Rewuk said the photo was taken only a few hours before a UFO was spotted at the nearby town show.
The NT News reported on July 17 that a bright light had travelled slowly across the sky about 6.20pm.
The UFO spooked hundreds of people at the showgrounds as the sun was starting to go down.
Mel Auty, from Camira, Queensland, said the UFO looked at first like a plane.
"But it was more like a falling star, just not falling. "And it wasn't dark enough for stars to be out.
"It was going across the sky for maybe five seconds, before it disappeared."
Vicki Mulholland, of Borroloola, said she was watching the last campdraft events at the show when something caught her eye.
"I looked up and something went across the sky," she said. "It kept going and going and suddenly it was gone just as if someone had switched if off."
NOTE: the Australian triangle image looks to be cut off at the top...leading to my thought that is may be a bird or something else that got into the frame...Lon
