Black flying triangle with three very bright 1lights1 in corners, flying N/NE at 8000 feet altitude over Persian Gulf in 1992
During the summer of 1992 (June-July), while I was temporarily assigned aboard a U.S. Navy Ticonderoga class guided-missile cruiser in the Persian Gulf, I saw a black, equilateral triangle-shaped aircraft with three bright, white lights, one in each corner, flying directly over our ship. Our ship was part of the USS Independence carrier battle-group, and at the time of the sighting we were underway in the central or southern Persian Gulf. The sighting occurred sometime between midday and 3pm local Gulf time, though I cannot recall the exact date or day of the week, and it occurred at the tail-end of an underway replenishment (UNREP) exercise between our ship and the carrier. I1d learned a few minutes earlier while I was at my workstation inside that our ship was very shortly going to pull up alongside the aircraft carrier to carry out an UNREP. Having never seen one of these exercises, I1d made my way topside in order to get a better view of the activities, and I ended up well above decks at the upper-most and most forward location of the ship that I could reach. This put me somewhere atop the forward superstructure above the bridge and very near the ship1s main mast.
Our ship was moving at approximately 10-20 knots and pulled alongside the Independence to begin the UNREP drills involving both vessels being attached to one another by lines, cables, and fuel hoses. The two ships maintained a set distance between one another while matching each other1s course and speed. Weather conditions at the time were good and typical for the region in June and July. It was mostly sunny with scattered clouds. As is typical of the region, the air was very thick with a haze caused by the high humidity. The air temperature was in the upper 90s to near 100 degrees and visibility seemed limited to just a few miles, I1m guessing three to four miles at most. There were several other sailors around me when the sighting occurred, some sightseeing and others working various assigned tasks.
The sighting started by my first hearing a deep, almost thunderous roar that was, at first, difficult to discern insofar as its point of origin. The next few seconds before actually sighting the aircraft were spent quickly glancing around to try and figure out where the sound was coming from. I spend a lot of time describing the sound below because it played such a prominent role in the sighting, at least initially. The roar sounded close but not too close. That is to say it was very similar to being near an airfield when jet fighters take off at full power and fly over you as they depart the area. In that case, for example, the viewer might be some distance away from the airbase, say, maybe a mile or two. There was a doppler-shift to the sound. Approximately three to five seconds elapsed between first hearing the aircraft and when I realized that the sound was actually coming from overhead. This confusion was due to the fact that there was so much going on around me at the moment. The ambient environment was full of other loud noises of all types, including the high-pitched whine of the gas turbine exhaust from the ship1s main powerplant, the rushing or whishing sound from the filtered air intake feeding the powerplant (which is, I believe, a DC-10 engine down-geared to drive the main shaft), plus the sounds of men shouting, bullhorns or speakers blaring, and so forth. As loud as the environment already was, this new thunderous sound, which seemed like a pulsing sort of roar, seemed to overpower all the other sounds around me. It was very strong, and I felt it in my chest as much as I heard it, and it was as if it was pounding my body.
My first thought was that the sound was coming from aircraft launching from the carrier right beside us, though I knew this couldn1t be the case during an UNREP. From my vantage point I could also see several parked aircraft on the starboard side of the carrier1s flight deck. I1d noticed that all of the aircraft were parked, many with wings folded and tie-down chains clearly attached, and it was clear that no fixed-wing flight operations were underway. I also quickly glanced back aft on the carrier to where the jet engine testing racks are located. It briefly occurred to me that squadron mechanics might be running an engine up in one of the test stands, which I1d personally seen a couple years before during Desert Shield while temporarily assigned to the Independence. There were no indications there were any engines being tested for lack of hot vapor signature or smoke. My quick visual survey had lasted just three seconds or so before finally looked directly overhead.
The aircraft I saw was black, triangle-shaped (like an equilateral triangle) with brilliantly white, round lights or spots inset within each of the three rounded corners. The aircraft appeared to be moving at around 250-500 mph on the same general heading as that of our two underway vessels, which I took to be roughly N/NE at the time based on the sun's position. The sun was above and behind me on my left. The aircraft appeared to be climbing out, though not on a steep ascent, but rather gradually climbing to a higher altitude after, perhaps, taking off from somewhere not too far away. It definitely wasn1t descending, and it didn't appear to be on an approach vector for landing. This aircraft was almost directly overhead our position and seemed to have flown right up our wake.
Though mostly sunny, the high temperature and high humidity caused my view of the craft to be somewhat less that crystal clear in that it wasn1t a hard or crisp, deep black color. Nonetheless, I could easily tell it was black and the view was certainly sharp enough to discern the distinct triangle shape and rounded corners. All three sides appeared equal in length. The shape and color was stunning enough to me, but the three extremely bright, circular spots on its underside were baffling. They were exceedingly bright to the point that they seemed to pierce through the high-heat haze in the sky. In fact, they were dazzling in their brilliance, though not as bright as a welding arc. There was no condensation or exhaust trail of any kind that I could tell, plus I got the immediate sense that the aircraft wasn1t at all high enough to produce a vapor trail. I could not make out any control surfaces, such as vertical tail/s, fins, canards, etc. As for size, the aircraft was as wide as my little finger with my arm fully extended (see attached PowerPoint illustration, of which there are two slides, one depicting the sighting from my position and the other depicting a zoomed view).
I immediately knew that I was seeing something radically different from anything I1d ever seen before. I was absolutely stunned by what I saw. I1d studied aircraft and aviation history since my early childhood, and I1d spent most of my time in the Navy working in the aviation community, aboard a carrier, around airfields, etc. I stayed current with aviation developments for years by reading various publications, including Jane1s Defense Weekly and Aviation Week & Space Technology. I immediately knew this was not a B-2 Spirit or F-117 Nighthawk.
My view of this aircraft lasted between 5-10 seconds, and about midway through the sighting I noticed that others standing near me were also looking at it with several guys yelling out as to what it could be. We were all just standing and looking in amazement (see Note below). The deep rumbling sound had seemed to fade away a bit. Although the initial roar or rumbling sound was the audible cue that had initially alerted me to the aircraft1s presence, the sound seemed to fade or change from the deep roar to something less distinctive. It was hard to hear due to the other noises I described earlier. In other words, the roar faded away and we were left with the ambient environmental sounds of the ships power plant, the activities going on around us, and the aircraft passing overhead and moving away.
Our view was suddenly and almost violently interrupted by an ear-shattering series of blasts from the ship's horn which, unbeknownst to me at the time, was located very close by. These sudden horn blasts were so loud that I physically cringed, bent over, and brought my hands up to cover my ears. I yelled out in pain along with several others, and we scattered to get away from the horn. I asked what the horn was all about and was told that it is used to signal the end of the UNREP exercise itself, or in the case, to announce the maneuver we went into called Emergency Breakaway. This was all new to me, but the immediately the crew were set to action to "break the lines1, real everything back aboard, and then each ship soon began a sharp turn away from the other in order to put as much space between themselves in the shortest time possible. I suppose a blast from a ships horn is no big deal to most folks, and it wouldn1t have made such an impact on me either if I hadn1t been standing so close to it and had it not interrupted the most incredible flying craft I1d ever seen. Had it not been for that the I might've got a longer view of the aircraft.
I have discussed this sighting with only a few folks over the years, but I've never formally reported it. I1ve often wondered whether the emergency break-away drill was coordinated to distract people from spotting the aircraft over our heads, though I know that is mere conjecture. The discussions about this sighting have been mostly at work in secure settings where I1d hoped someone might have offered some amplifying information. I1ve even drawn it on a whiteboard for folks, but to date no one that I1ve talked to has ever offered an explanation other than speculating that it was U.S.-developed. A few things are for certain - It was undoubtedly directly overhead a U.S. aircraft carrier battle group underway in the central or southern Persian Gulf. Although the two vessels were engaged in an exercise between them, all the electronic apparatus on both vessels were radiating and rotating, to use a Navy expression. The vessel I was on has the Aegis combat system and the AN/SPY-1 radar system. Having been personally been inside the Combat spaces aboard ship during operations, and having worked closely with the radar guys in carrying out my own duties, I knew then and know now that the capabilities afforded by these system are exceptional, to say the least. I have believe that they were fully aware of this aircraft flying right up our wake and directly overhead the battle group.
Attached sketch: I've attempted to illustrate using PowerPoint what the aircraft looked like as it passed directly overhead, including overlaying a light gray matting and using transparency to depict the haze caused by the heat and humidity that day. These sketches are based on my 'minds eye' recollection of the aircraft's position, the approximate time of day, estimated direction of travel, and the suns position relative to my own.
Note: I only list myself, 1, as the Total Number of Witnesses for this report because, although there were several other guys around me at the time of the sighting that I know also saw the aircraft, I was not part of the ship's crew, did not know them personally, and we all seemed to go our separate ways once the exercise activities were completed. I believe it is possible that many, many others that day witnessed the same thing.

UFO
1987 onboard USS John A Moore (FFG-19) a UFO was sighted on the Starboard
side Midship. I was on the bridge and heard yelling from 5 crew members. We all
turned green, like a lazor was turned on, then I heard UFO UFO. I turned and went
down the ladder to radio. Was later interviewed by NIS.

Triangular UFO spotted over Dubai
I was outside my house at a field cycling alone, when I saw a black triangular object hovering over a building. I was drinking water so I tilted my head back and I saw it. At first I thought it was a kite, but I then noticed a large red light at the back. It hovered in place. It was shielded by what looked like a heat haze only in that particular area, even though it was a relatively cool day by our standards. The object then flew away behind a building and I never saw it again. I was really scared and I went straight home and stared at the wall for about 40 minutes before pulling myself together and going on like nothing had happened.

It looks like the gates of Heaven
Me and my husband live in the UAE in Dubai. We were watching tv at our villa and saw that lightning had strated in Dubai. was standing outside filming the beautiful lightning, since this is the first time this year that we see lightning and hear thunder. It was so beautiful so i took a couple of video clips of this beautiful beast of power.
I took a couple of clips and the next day i wanted to send some clips to my mother who lives in another country, so before i sent them i downloaded them to my computer to see which ones are the best and i came across the only video that when the lighting striks you see a huge object in the sky that looks like the gates of heaven,it doesnt move or do anything as far as i can see and exactly a minute passes the lightning striks in the same place and nothing is seen.
It is not a building cause you see on of the tallest buildings lights flashing in the background near the lamp, and another tall building with blue lights on the right, they both look tiny compared to what is seen as the gates of Heaven.
I got really nervous and excited i even asked my husband to double check what i had seen and he too got excited. I don't know what it is exactly and would love to know if this is indeed a ufo.

Stainless Steel Shine Disc-Shaped UFO
To describe the conditions this morning, it was a clear sky, i.e. no clouds in the sky (just the blue sky). Weather conditions were, 28-29 degree centigrade, no wind or dust in the atmosphere and low humidity conditions. It was bright as the sun was up already, hence no chances of any mistakes.
I am an Indian national living with my wife in Sharjah (United Arab Emirates). Every morning I drive my wife to work, since the last five years. We take the same route every day, which is a very short one, on the path of which I can recognize all the structures.
This morning, i.e. 6:50 AM (30th May 2011), I was driving my wife to work, when I stopped at a big round-about to go left. I was looking towards my left hand side where I was checking for passing by vehicles, when my eyes met this really shiny object just hovering at an approximate height of 300-350 ft. This object was simply hovering without any noise or movement. It was really shiny, the texture which could be best described like that of stainless steel surface (because of the factor as to how the sun light was bouncing off of it). It just hung there, when my wife also saw it. The object was a typical disc shaped, saucer like UFO. I could tell it was a disc-shaped object as it just on its side just for a bit revealing the shape. I witnessed it for nearly 20 seconds, with me and my wife sitting in my car at the round-about just staring at it when it simply just disintegrated into thin air, it just vanished right in front of our eyes. Earlier I have always noticed certain huge round shaped shadows being casted ton the ground, just to look up and see nothing. Also, other phenomenon like strange sky scars that cannot be formed by any AirPlane. It was very phenomenal for us to witness a UFO for the first time in our lives. Unfortunately, since I was in my car with the engine on, I could not get a chance to grab a picture of it, also because I was dumb-struck just looking at it.
It was no weather phenomenon, no visual trick, no planet, no blimp, no swamp gas, nothing else but a UFO.

Large formation spotted in Dubai UAE
Was arriving home at 9.55pm when took a brief look at the fairly clear sky when I noticed tiny lights flying in the opposite direction of the scattered cloud wind. They were like small distant stars but were moving in one direction.
I noticed one then another then 2 or 3 together, they kept coming for at least an hour. Interested to hear if anyone has spotted this activity.
Its as if they were imitating stars but moving in a certain direction. The brightness was like a dim star.

three balls of light
i was flying from Dubai to london, 2 or 3 hours into the flight i go up and went to the back to stretch my legs.
i had a look out of the window and thought it looked beautiful so i go my iPod to take a picture. started taking the pics then saw the lights and took the pics. i saw them out of the window AND in the pictures. i genuinely don't remember how they disappeared but i couldn't see them again after a while (maybe 30 seconds). I remember wanting to tell someone but on a plane probably isn't the best idea, i didn't want to alarm anybody!
i spent a few mins looking back at the pics then went to sit back down

{jpg} filmed in british tv series
Whilst watching British TV series broadchurch episode 4 of series 1, which was filmed at west bay Dorset uk, we noticed in the blue sky with some clouds above David Tennant and Olivia Colman who were walking up the beach bank (about 5 min in)there was an object out at sea hovering, it was very bright white oval shape it changed from right to left very fast, hovered then shot off at incredible speed through the clouds and then up in an arc out off of the screen shot but had changed to a dark colour and longer shape before disappearing, if you watch this clip from the series and pause and slow frame it is very clear. I have looked up when this was filmed and started in 2013, so I checked if there were ant sightings around this year in Dorset and there were 2, so there is plenty for you to investigate please. This is an ITV series in united kingdom

Silver sphere with short transparent tail
I was standing in the street looking at the stars and suddenly the silver sphere (golfball size) popped up from behind the building (100 ft). It flew so smoothly without any noise. I started screaming and pointing to it but people were staring at me instead of looking up. Only my daughter followed me and saw it. I might think it was some kind of drone but it had trasparent tail!!! It happened in 2013. My son saw the silver sphere glowing with bluish light above his head in 2018 but it was a bit bigger (basketball size).
That was amazing! We were so impressed! Somebody is watching us. These objects seem like reconnaissance vehicles!

Two UFO objects over Dubai as seen from Barj Khalifa - the world tollest building
My wife and I were visiting the top deck of the world tallest building the Burj Khalifa for the sunrise observations. When the daylight begun to slowly take over the eastern sky, only minutes before the sunrise we noticed that a very bright starlike objects appeared in the direction where we were expecting the sun to rise but about 25 -20 degrees above the horizon. Since we looked at that direction already for some time we are sure that the object was not there and appeared only at 7:08 am. The few clouds in that direction became orange-red but the object was between the clouds and us (with the clouds in its background) and was emitting very bright light. Soon, second object appeared just few degrees above and slightly to the right of the first object. They both were moving slowly across the sky. I began taking photos right from the time when I first noticed the first object and then I switched my Sony camera to video function and kept recording. First object appeared as being a spherical ball of fire with fuzzy edges that has changed into two balls of fire closely suspended toward one another with ionized like, glowing surrounding air. The higher on the sky positioned object although first appearing also as a singular spherical light has changed its shape to three closely positioned spherical lights with distinctive base like structure underneath.
In intervals of some seconds the higher object was releasing (dropping down) what appeared as glowing gas in a shape of a water droplets. Those were slowly losing its glow on its way down. This can be observed on the recorded video. Unfortunately due to a very high zoom that I had to apply on the camera I had difficulty in maintaining the objects in the camera view at all times.
After about two minutes of the observation the higher object with three lights has opened like, spreading the lights further away from one another but at the same time still connected on a three arm like structure. It then suddenly turned on its side (from horizontal three lights position to lights in vertical position) and lights went off and the object just zoomed away in the southern direction, leaving jet plane like trail. It was gone in seconds. This I was able to catch on my last photo with the object already departing with extinguished lights and the trail being left behind. There is also a moon visible in that shot as a good reference point. The other lower object just suddenly shot in the same southern direction with such a speed and so suddenly that it appeared as it disappeared almost in an instance. I enclose photos and the video.
I just would like to add that I am granting The Mufon rights to use the supplied by me material as described on you Mufon Sighting Report page but I do not grant this right as being exclusive to Mufon since I may give the permission to use this material to other persons or organisations.

I randomly took a picture of the sun as my habit to start the day. when I checked, I saw a weird round image just above it.
We were on our way to work and I told my friend to stop the car because I want to take a picture of the sun as my habit of starting my busy week. When I checked the picture, I told him, I dont want to post it because its not a nice shot, then I noticed something just above the sun, when you're not using zoom, it looks like an orb so I zoomed it and it shocked me as it has like white spikes. So I let my friend see and he told me to take another picture, on the next picture, it is still there but its moving to the left direction. I took some pictures again thinking maybe its just a reflection or my camera lens. Then my friend took a picture too in his mobile because I'm really not believing that its there, so he took a picture and he was surprised because its there too. I tried looking at it through my eyes but the rays of the sun is so bright. I told him maybe its the moon, or maybe its a drone or a satellite. I'm very skeptical about these things and I just want to know and be enlightened about this weird phenomenon. Please note that the attached in the attached photo, you can see the object in the first photo just above the sun, then it goes to the left on the succeeding ones.

Shot 2 photos 1st showed object 2nd did not
While on a business trip in Dubai, after visiting the Burj Khalifa (world tallest building) my driver was driving on the highway. As we passed the world1s tallest building I decided to snap a few photos using my iPhone 6 plus. I took 2 photos while driving down the highway and noticed nothing in the frame of either photo that night (9:43:47 local time). The next day I was showing the photos I took to my driver and saw the image in the frame that is still yet unexplained. The second image was taken within the same second and it shown no object in the frame. The building has fa1ade lighting that displays verbiage that begins at the bottom and ascends upward, this can be seen beginning in the first frame and progressing in the second image.

Saw an object appear in the Northeast. It hovered for approximately 20 minutes. It disappeared.
I was driving to work, when an object appeared in the sky. It was approximately 6:42 AM. I looked at my clock. I always enjoy watching the sunrise in the morning over the sands and look at the sky often. I thought the object was a blimp or a helicopter at first. The object didn't move. I pulled into the parking lot at my office. I looked up in the sky and it was still there. I looked closer and could not determine the craft. I worked as a civilian contractor for the Air Force for 12 years and am familiar with all types of air craft. I noticed this object did not have lights. There seemed to be an aura sounding it. It looked like a rectangle at first. Then it started to resemble a donut. It was really indescribable. I was in a state of amazement and awe. Then I though I should take some pictures. So, I pulled out my phone and started taking pictures. I accidentally took a couple of videos too. I observed the object and took photos for 20 minutes. My first photo was at 0646 HRS and my last photo was at 0706 HRS. Then all of a sudden the object disappeared. I wish that I had a real camera to record the event.

UFO in the NE. It appeared and hovered for approximately 35 minutes. It vanished.
This was the same that happened on New Year's Eve. I made a report on that date too. This time was different. My cell phone closed twice. Sometimes, I took the picture and the craft was not photographed. Other times I took the picture and the craft was in the photograph. This time it titled. Last time it didn't. Once again, it appeared to change shape.
