UFO Sightings

The mother of motherships

In July 2002, I was fortunate enough to witness a very large UFO at close range for over an hour. I was out fishing one night, alone in my small sailboat. There was no moon, 90% cloud cover and an approaching thunderstorm 50 km away.

Drifting because of no wind and reclining in the cockpit, at 2 a.m I noticed in the sky 10km to my south, three solid, bright red lights in a triangular formation. They were separated by 200 metres and were approaching my position at 15 knots, altitude 300 metres. As they came closer, I noticed another three red lights following 4km behind.

This immediately got my attention and looking around, I saw two more sets of red lights equi-distant and at 90 degrees to the others. I was between several small islands and can accurately report its overall dimensions as being 5km across.

As it slowly passed directly overhead its underside was illuminated from the lights of a nearby city 40km away. It was a massive disc with turrets, antennae and one very large, brilliant white spotlight in the middle. It was making a low buzzing noise and took 50 minutes to pass overhead. As it moved to the north I could plainly see it was an upside down saucer shape.
I don't drink or do drugs - this is as real as it gets.

There was nothing in the media about it the next day and it passed an International airport on its way north and no, it wasn't an R/C balloon, swamp gas, Venus, lantern or other disinfo thingy.

At 3:30 a.m. the daily commercial jets screamed overhead towards the airport at 5000 feet, tiny and loud. I am a very experienced seaman/bushman and this is not my only encounter ( although the largest so far. )

I have also had contact of the fourth kind and can assure you, they were of the benevolent kind... maybe another time.

Fishing at 2am The person must of had a dream while sleeping at his home Best time to fish for those species that are nocturnal feeders.

I saw one in La Porte Indiana, i was 17 and just got off work and decided to take my baby for a spin so i went on some back roads to the point where there was nothing but corn fields, i saw the craft and tried to follow it the best i could. It was triangle shaped but kind of far away, however it was moving fast and this one had 3 white lights all around and a red light in the middle, and the spotlight was intense for it's distance, the beam coming from it was at least 4 times the length of the craft. So that's that story. I'm also pretty sure i saw the phoenix lights at Fort Jackson, South Car... [More]
