13-102

Date of Sighting: 05/28/2012

Time of Sighting: 2:00 a.m – 4:15 a.m

Location of UFO: Olney, IL, US

UFO Report: Went out in the middle of the country alone to star watch.  Was driving to get to a good spot to park, and then noticed an orange orb in my rear view mirror.  After making several turns it was still perfectly center in my rear view mirror but only as a small orange orb.  I then parked and sat on my trunk as this orb maintained its distance.  I continued to sit there and talk to it as if it was standing right next to me.  At about 4:15 a.m. the small orb grew into a big bright light for maybe 30-45 secs and then vanished.  It was starting to turn into daylight, but the sun was not over the horizon. You can tell in the picture that it is not the sun as it is in front of the tree line.  This is not my first u.f.o. experience as I have had multiple sightings of objects that I could not explain to myself flying in the sky, but this is the only photo I was able to take.  I just would really appreciate it if you could do some sort of review of the photo and give me a scientific explanation of this orb I witnessed.  I also have 3 different pictures of this object that I took back to back to back, all of them in various sizes,  but it will only allow me upload one.

13-103-AN1 (Lake City, SC)

Date of Sighting: 1976 or 1977

Time of Sighting: Around 11:30 p.m.

Duration of Event: 10 seconds

Location of UFO: Lake City, S.C.

Shape of Object: Saucer

UFO Report: I was 10 or 11 years old at the time.  I had a friend who spent the night with me at our home in Lake City.  We were in the den on the pull out couch and just started going to sleep, as everybody in the house was in bed with lights out.  My dog started barking at the patio door in the den where me and my friend were sleeping.  I went to the door to let her (my dog) out into the fenced in back yard.  That is when I saw a UFO hovering above the trees behind the back fence of our yard.  It was glowing white with dark window portals on the upper part of its body.  It was almost like it saw me (as if it knew I was watching it) as my dog ran towards it barking because after I looked at it a few seconds it moved to my right slowly along the path of trees in the woods and then shot into the air like warp speed in Star Trek at an angle into space.  I woke up my friend, parents and siblings shortly after the event. The UFO looked like two slim bowls (one upside down on top of the bottom one right side up).  The window portals were in the top part.  I was so close to it from my vantage point that I know UFO’s exist without any doubt.  It was too close of an encounter for it to be something that can be explained away.  And no, I wasn’t dreaming it happened.
