I was walking down my parents driveway with my older brother to get on the school bus, the drive is approximately one quarter of a mile long and the bus picked us up a little after 7 in the morning. Over the years I have been careful not to speculate as to what I saw too much for fear of tainting the memory of the event. I have several events that I can not explain but this event is the only in which I witnessed something unexplainable to me. As I said my older brother and I were walking down the drive to the bus when one of us noticed an object hovering in a small woods approximately 500 yards from us across and down the road. At this time I cannot with 100% certainty say which one of us saw the object first but I am about 80% sure it was my brother. please understand this was a long time ago and I have tried to focus on the more important details of the event over the years. I believe my brother said something to the effect of "do you see that?" I said "Yea that's the sun" he said "no that way is west" or something to that effect and I looked to the east and saw the sun just beginning to rise. A more appropriate direction for the object would be NW. we then speculated that it was the moon but after looking around the sky for a few seconds we spotted the moon more or less directly above us. This whole dialogue took about 45 seconds to a minute, during that time I was looking at the sun rising and trying to find the moon so I cannot say what the object was doing but I can say that it was in roughly the same place as when I was first alerted to it. The object was approximately 18 to 22 feet in diameter and looked like the sun rising or the moon when it's orange. I came to that estimate by judging its size to the trees it was in. I say in because I could see trees in front of and behind the object quite clearly. The object hovered for about 20 to 30 seconds and then began to move though the trees from left to right. it covered about 150 yards at what I would call a pretty slow pace all the while I could still clearly see trees behind of and in front of the object. It's travel took 45 seconds to a minute and covered about two thirds of the woods, then it disappeared instantly. No fading or anything it was just gone. I really didn't have an emotional response to the event, I was more perplexed as to what it was I was seeing. I do have to say that I had this feeling like it belonged there, like it was normal. My brother and I have talked about it several times over the years and has both of us stumped. I would like to add that I am an open minded skeptic and would need to explore every possible natural explanation before I would even begin to think it was anything but. Thank you for your time

UFO Sighting in Jerusalem, on November 3rd 2013 - noticed a light in night sky traveling N suddenly grow bright and then diminish in intensity
A little more than an hour before sunrise this morning I was sitting on a bench in the Old City of Jerusalem meditating and praying, at a lookout where you can view the Western Wall, the Al Aksa Mosque and the Golden-domed Dome of the Rock Mosque all at the same time. The bench faced north, so the WW and mosques were on my right, and I looked right to view them. Suddenly I noticed out of the corner of my eye, almost directly above, in the predawn sky, a distant white light with a very, very slight blueish tinge that was traveling N, away from me, that was getting brighter. As I observed, it seemed to me that it was descending, as if falling. The light got much brighter, somewhat brighter than any of the other stars. Then the intensity diminished, and it looked like it was not descending anymore. The time between noticing the object, the growing and then diminishing intensity was not more than 3 seconds. It continued in the same direction N for 2 or 3 more seconds and I lost visual on it. It simply lost intensity to the point it was not viewable. My first thought was that it possibly was a satellite. But I have seen satellites pass from sunlight to darkness, and this did not look like that - plus the object was traveling virtually due N, not east. I thought a satellite should simply maintain a constant brightness if it really was in a northerly orbit. Plus I did get the sensation that it descended rather rapidly. I ruled out an airliner, though they do pass over Jerusalem and with landing lights on. The object was already past by and traveling away from me when I noticed it, and I have never seen an aircraft with lights as bright as landing lights facing backwards. Possibly it was some military aircraft, but again, I've never seen one with lights like that get so bright. Perhaps a fireball entering the atmosphere, but it seemed too slow to be one. However there's no way for me to judge the angle of entry so it might have seemed slower than it actually was simply because of the angle. Nevertheless, I've seen meteor showers and this did not resemble anything I've seen up to this point. I do not think it was a military flare, since they burn with a slightly reddish tinge as far as I know. (I was a radar technician in a USMC fighter squadron in the '70's, and I've also seen IAF aircraft drop flares.) I also waited around until the sky got bright enough to see that the sky was cloudless - no clouds; I'd thought that possibly a drifting cloud in the dark sky might have occulted a bright star. As far as feelings go, I felt that I'd report it for the sake of making a record in case others might have sighted it. Personally I was not overly excited since I have experienced a few of what people might call miracles, and in the 70's experienced about seven episodes of what is called either "sleep paralysis" or "abduction" (but which I think is demonic buffeting).

UFO Sighting in Rancho Cucamonga, California on July 12th 2013 - Glowing orange orb traveling upwards and then disapears in the cloudless night.
My family had just finished eating dinner at Bass Pro shop restuarant in Rancho Cucmonga. We were walking to our cars in the busy parking lot and I observed a weird orange orb. I thought it was a meteor traveling but it lasted to long about a minute for it to be a shooting star or meteor. It was traveling fast. Faster than an airplane but slower than a meteor. It was really high up in the cloudless sky. I said look whats that and my mom observed it also. We just stood there and looked at it for about a minute. Then it just dispeared into the sky. It was traveling upwards at an angle it seemed to dispear into the atmosphere in a second.

UFO Sighting in Tiverton, Rhode Island on June 22nd 2012 - witnessed flame-like object traveling south in a path, then hovered and flames went out
driving north on 138 in tiverton i noticed an incredibly bright flamelike object traveling overhead. at first glance i thought it could be a missle. it came closer to me causing me to swerve off the road. i took a right on hayden ave to get a better look and try and take a pic of it with my phone. but as i parked i could see it slowing and then hovering and before i could click my camera, the flames just went out and i could no longer see where it went. there was no sound whatsoever coming from this object. the edges of this object were jagged in appearance and i could not tell what shape the actual moving object was. it was low flying a few hundred feet above power lines which really scared me. never, ever in my 52 yrs have i seen anything so foreign. i am curious how many others saw what i did. i could not have been alone. and i am certain of one thing....whatever the technology used to fly this object, it is unknown to me and i am most intrigued as to whether there could be beings aboard or if it is a droid. i was panicked and amazed and truly shaken by what i saw. i immediately called my bf at work, who called up this website and i told him as soon as i got in the house i would post.
