Location: Ann Arbor, Michigan
My Name is (name removed), I have been interested in UFO's for quite some time. I have had some very meaningful experiences, beginning with growing up in the Ann Arbor area. I was born in Detroit in 1958, went to elementary school in Ann Arbor, then Middle School, and High School in Dexter MI. Graduating in 1976. In Ann Arbor we lived across the street from Jim Mcdivott I believe he was a Lt. Col. at the time, his family would come over for BBQ's when they were in town. Do you know who he was.
Anyway one experience that stands out and if there were any other witnesses to this sighting, some correspondence would be nice. I was working for a moving company on a trip from Benton Harbor to Lansing in 1981 driving by myself on I-94 west of Kalmazoo When I saw a huge craft float over the highway. By huge, I mean the craft was at least 5 miles from where I was and it spanned the width of my windshield. I stopped the truck and climbed on top to see it better, it was rectangular no rounded edges that I could see and it couldn't have been more than 500 feet off the ground. The time was about 3:00 or 4:00 pm. Did anyone else see this? As you probably know there was quite a lot of activity of this type during the 60's and 70's in Michigan.
Additional Information:
Thank you Brian for responding so quickly to my e-mail. I believe you are doing a greater service than you may know by reporting the experiences of people who are having these life changing things happen to them.
The experience with Jim McDivott, (yes he was a Gemini Astronaut) happened when I was about 6 years old and outside playing when a craft flew in over the rooftops of the neighborhood, maybe 30 feet over the rooftops. It was delta shaped or triangular and flying unusually slow. It was afternoon blue skies. I do not know why this memory stands out so clear, but I remember waving at the pilot and being waved back at. Strange huh, well about 2 days later these guys in suits show up at the door and take my parents into another room, I can't remember how long they were in there before Mr. McDivott showed up at the door with his family. Everything after that is lost in time. I just can't remember. My father always encouraged me to look up at night, I always wondered if he knew something I did not. My family life got pretty tough after that fights, separation and divorce. The experiences stopped that I can remember, then my parents died in a car accident in 1981. I have know idea why they were together in the same car. I do not know if Mr. McDivott is still alive, but I know that he started a research group involving unknown phenomenon I believe it is in California. I did try to contact him but no luck.

Location: Harold Hill, U.K.
Date: Approx. 1990-92
Time: Afternoon ?
Shape of objects: Long flat cylinder shape with what look like a sail that was a tall as object was long. The sail shape was in opposition to the direction it was traveling.
I was Standing on balcony of my second floor flat when I spotted the object moving very slowly at a an apparent low level. It never altered in height, rotated or turned. The outline image never altered. I watched for an age and called my girlfriend but she was uninterested. It was long ago so I don't recall it going out of sight. It took so long to travel across the sky I think I just lost interest.

Time: 11:00 p.m.
This is a story I have had in my mind since the night it happened, and although I haven't spoke about it to the others involved, I am sure they have the same feelings. Now as far as dates are concerned, I know it was in around New Years in 91-92 I believe. We were partying in my friends house, which is next door to my parents home. I was sitting on a chair nearest to the window. My friend, who I am not going to name, had to go to his parents house to get some mix for drinks. Anyways at the moment he left the house, well around 10 seconds, I was just looking out the window and all of a sudden the whole sky lit up, bright green and as bright as day. I could see into the field next to my parents and see all the surrounding area as if it was daylight, except it was around 11:00 pm !
Well, my friend ended up coming back into the house and he described exactly what he saw. He said the moment he walked out the door he saw, what looked to him like a green light, really small, like a Xmas light you put on your tree. And that it exploded outwards, and he was blinded by this. I can tell you right now we were not the only witnesses to this event. The next day I picked up the newspaper and there was an article in there saying this light was seen in the whole North Eastern Ontario and west part of Northern Quebec. Now I can tell you right now that what we saw wasn't any natural event like the article said. I have never seen anything like it before or since and I have been thinking about this since it happened. All I can say is that something happened that night and maybe there's a few others who have been wondering the same things I have. What was it and where did it come from ? And why did this occur in my hometown? The only witness that I know of who saw this thing explode, said it was small and looked like it was only maybe 2 feet up above the tree next to the house we were at. I have seen the Northern Lights all my life and believe me this light was as bright as the Sun. So please if anyone else has seen anything like this, please let me know.

September ? 2005
Not sure of the date I lost the news article but it was approximately 10 weeks ago. It was a Friday night and I live near the Orlando International Airport, I was sitting in the backyard which has a small wooded area behind the house. I saw what appeared to be a falling asteroid. I was fascinated by it, it was traveling extremely fast through the sky. I thought it was meteor but the paper stated that a similar object was spotted the same night over Palm Beach and several witnesses called it in. The reason I'm writing is what I saw shortly thereafter, approximately 15 to 20 minutes later I saw a bright glowing Orange/Reddish object glide through the woods. It had the shape of a perfectly round basket or soccer ball. Not too large (3 ft circumference). It was on a straight trajectory path. It did not waiver from it's course (whatever that was) it would flash a bright light every few seconds like it was taking pictures. It was not solid but you could not see through it. It did not have anything that would cause you to believe it was motorized. It did not travel at a high speed kind of floated but not up and down but it was definitely going somewhere as if it were on a mission. Anyone else seen anything like this or know what it was? I will never forget it. Wish I had a witness everyone in my house thought I was nuts until the paper mentioned that other people saw that asteroid. Orlando Florida.

Time: Approx 6:00 -8:00 p.m.
Shape of objects: Difficult to imagine or describe due to darkness but it had a light on the tip of each "wing" and a solid row of three or four orange lights between the two white lights much like the exhaust of an engine. with only the lights to judge by and the form left against the stars in the background it appeared to be a large arced "single" wing with an engine mounted to the rear and middle of "wing".
Noticeable because of how low and maneuverable I kept an eye on this object as it twisted and turned up and down the area and crossed above the road I was driving on ( Hall Lane Upminster). In my opinion it was as maneuverable as a helicopter but clearly not a helicopter. Its movement was smooth and quick and there was no apparent noise. I was in my van but I had turned off the radio and fan and was leaning out of my window trying to hear. The only thing I can imagine it was from its maneuverability was a toy aircraft or one of those unusual experimental police aircraft ( I believe two police officers died using one I saw in a documentary once) however the object appeared too large and too well light and too smooth to be a toy and there was no searching pattern or searchlights just a few swoops and then off into the distance.
A few days later my daughter became alarmed at the speed of something flying in above the Hornchurch area while we were out driving. It was around the same time and details as the previous sighting but this time viewable above the Ardleigh green area looking from Billet Lane. The craft appeared as though it was the same as I had seen days earlier but due to the angle of the craft and its approach I could only make out the two white lights at either end. It flew in a considerable distance approx. north east, turned (almost on a sixpence) and returned in the exact same direction it had come from. No circling, no altitude change, no noise very low very fast very smooth.

Shape of objects: Bright blue- white "Orb"
Thanksgiving night, my friends and I were going for a drive out in the country near our hometown. It was a very clear Minnesota sky, showing the stars like it always does. As we conversed in the car, I instinctively noticed an odd bright light that seemed kind of unusual. I watched it for about 10 seconds before I told my friends to take a look. It being so bright is what got my attention, but what it was about to do was borderline creepy. By this time we were all fixed on this object that we determined immediately was not a plane or helicopter. I noticed the object was moving unlike anything I have ever seen. It would move back and forth, up and down in the sky, constantly changing position. It was not a steady path of some human made machine.
Now by this time everyone in the car was somewhat bewildered. We literally couldn't believe what we were seeing. At a certain point the driver of the vehicle proceeded to park, to see if maybe it was because of the movement of our vehicle. This is when the object interacted with us. The object suddenly stopped. This made me very unsteady. As we watched the light, it seemed to be coming towards us, acknowledging our presence. The light became brighter and larger, something that happens when something comes closer. I caught about the worst vibe you could imagine. I immediately told the driver to drive, and get out of the area. The driver agreed, and we sped off. The light continued to interact with us, it proceeded to race along side the vehicle when we gunned it.(when I say along side of us I mean in the sky, at a low elevation) We all freaked out, and all of a sudden it shot off in one direction, dimming to nothing, as if leaving the atmosphere. To put the icing on top of the cake, my friend looks directly to the back of the vehicle, and there it was again, behind us. Probably the most frightening thing I've ever seen. And suddenly it was gone. To this day, everyone in that vehicle agrees we saw something that was not from here. Aliens...? Maybe. UFO...?

Shape of objects: Globe/cluster
I was making my second glassing of a perfectly clear blue sky this morning, only a few minutes ago at this writing. My first glass through my 8x30 binoculars showed Jets at high altitude, leaving short contrails, in a circuit over nearby military bases. Commercial air traffic was light through the McCellan Palomar landing path. Just another usual day. I went out again at about 10:00 am, and looked through my binoculars to the east, just small planes and birds. I rested my arm's and let my binoculars hang from their strap. Looking up, almost vertically, a very bright globe was hovering. It was a real object. The wind was light and westerly, and had no marked influence on the globe which moved slowly South. I had to move into the street to keep it from passing behind the house.
I had caught the object on my first look through my binoculars. It was incandescently bright! It deliberately, steadily moved in a random way, South, West, East, North, but kept returning to about where first seen. Some of the glow subsided, and the object looked white, and slightly elongated on a vertical plane. It maintained a noticeable steadiness. Then it became reflective and hard to describe, like it had divided to cells. I could see yellow on the left cell, a transparent shiny cell, and red cell on the right. It may have added 2 more cells on top and bottom. The cells became illuminated brightly from within. I could see the color was inside of a transparent bubble. It moved directly overhead and hovered. Now it looked like a cross. Because of the clarity of the sky, no clouds for reference, the altitude and size is hard to determine, so I guess at 5,000 ft and a dumpster sized object.
An aircraft came in on the landing path from the east, and the object disappeared! Duration of the sighting was close to 10 minutes. My arms were worked from holding the binoculars up so long. I came in and started writing directly from the observation, these are my best impressions. One of my trusted friends, has reported 2 sightings in this general area. The latest from him was last weekend. The binoculars are a must have item. Last weekend, a strong West wind blew on Saturday. I saw a big escaped weird balloon go sailing by on the wind, so balloons are a definite possibility when looking up. What I saw today had a brightness, that was beautiful to see.
Location: Causeway, California
Date: December 4, 2005
Time: 12:00 -12:30 am
Shape of objects: Triangular
Object was slow moving. We first saw two lights, and when we got closer, we were underneath the object, and saw three lights. The two lights we saw were from the two corners of the triangle, and when we were under it, we saw three lights that formed the complete shape. Slow moving, and was low. Sized like a house, maybe bigger. I drove past it, and it seemed like it was hovering for a while. From the moment we saw it, to the time it was out of sight was maybe 2-3 minutes. Hopefully someone else saw it.

Time: 12:36 p.m.
I have had another,"what's that" to report to you. Today on Tuesday, December 6, 2005 at exactly 12:36 pm. I was in my place of work's parking lot, inside my car, getting ready to get out. I then looked directly south, against the blue sky. A single white round light was moving from the west to the east, parallel along Lake Ontario. The speed would be a guess, at between 100-200 mph and about 2-3000 feet high. The distance from my position, about 1-2 miles away. As this object moved along on a straight flight path, with now, dark clouds as a background. This light was more defined as "round" to best describe it. This sighting lasted between 40-50 seconds and another head shaker begins. I can only ask Brian. Did you receive any similar reports today? I can only assume, these objects are monitoring the area, along the lakeshore on a regular basis.

Eyewitness UFO Audio Accounts On CD (Free Upcoming Audio Reports For Buyers)
I will be doing more interviews this week for the CD. (70 Eyewitness UFO Audio reports on CD)
Purchase The CD, & All Upcoming Eyewitness Audio Reports For Free!
HBCC UFO Research Note: As many of you know I had to remove the large number of eyewitness audio reports from the site due to them taking up a huge amount of bandwidth as the mp3 audio clips were a big success.
In other words thousands upon thousands of people who came to the website really enjoyed listening in to the eyewitnesses tell in their words about what they saw, and what took place.
I did not want to remove them, but as I mentioned, it was going to run the costs up for the site. So I created a CD with all the audio clips on it and so far this has been a big hit with many. I decided that if anyone purchases the CD, all upcoming eyewitness audio reports will be given to the buyer free. What I will do, is upload any and all new audio interviews to the website, and then email out a link to everyone who has bought the CD, and from that link they will be able to download the new eyewitness accounts at no cost to them. This way no one will miss anything and there are some amazing reports coming up. Purchase details can be found here:
The below link will take you to how to order your own CD, entitled The Vike Report (Audio Clips Collection).
