Then suddenly it appeared 3 men walked out of the craft and the door shut.
The craft then after about 3 minutes rose upward hovered for a brief time then took off Northbound at a very high rate of speed and I lost sight. I then refocused on the field to see if I could see any one or any thing in the field but visibility was very poor. I did note to my wife that they appeared to be walking in the direction af a rest stop that was just off of the field near the high way.
They then both blanked out and then instantly reappeared much further apart. They did this twice. The entire time that I was trying to film them, my cheap auto focus video camera couldn't hardly pick them up. Then the most westward one sent out three very bright and distinct strobes. Then the second one replied with a series of strobes itself. They then began to move at a slightly faster pace, whilst continuing to strobe to each other.
was large the size of an airplane in length but much wider.It had 3 round large white lights on ,not strobing like others in past.It made a humming/swooshing sound,but nothing like an airplane or jet
triangular shape became apparent. Unsure of what this thing was, I started to run back home to tell the rest of my family, so that they could come and see it. But, as it flew closer, I decided to stay and watch it, because it was so fascinating. It was probably flying at around 70 miles per hour. As it approached and passed overhead, I was able to see its underside. It was clearly a triangular aircraft. From my point of view, the object was about the size of a baseball, and all three sides of the object were the same length. It was black or gray in color, and it had one small white light on each corner (which made 3 white lights altogether), and one small red light in the center.
Finally, after about 10 minutes, they were directly over me and flying at a very low altitude, and at a very low speed. They had lights on them that went from what looked like blinking white lights which would change to blinking red and blue lights and then occasionally a non-blinking bright white light. At first their were only 2. And then 2 more followed. I started too look all around me and to the east I could see 3 more.
Its physical features were a circular, possibly disc-like, with a ring of purple lights around it; as it bobbed, I saw its underside, with four very bright blue lights underneath it.
The lights lasted approx,3 to 4 seconds and as each light blinked out it would reappear in a different location going up and down and side to side as the lights were heading in an easterly direction.
when we got to exit 7 just before the Newcastle exit, at 1:45 we saw on the side of the freeway going south lined up about 5 army trucks 1 lane was shut down and a army helicopter hovering over head, we were so excited, and nervous, and we will never forget it.
I knew it was rectangular from the 4 lights in the corners, and how it was bleeping out stars. It went into the distance and started to rotate. And then... it blinked out.

I think one thing to consider is the technology we have now compared to just ten years ago. It is a lot easier to report or find ufo sightings. Maybe the activity has been the same for decades and it is just getting reported better.
It's my personal hope that disclosure is soon on the horizon, if not by our governments then by the various visiting species. Either that, or a large world event is about to occur. It seems more UFOs are reported during times of change on our planet.
I think we are ready. I know there is a lot of concern about the reaction of people, especially people of faith but remember, even the pope made a recent comment about aliens. That alone should give us pause that something is about to happen. I can't see the pope making a comment about this subject out of the blue. What ever Elitism exist, we know the Catholic Church has been involved for hundreds of years.
Keep your eyes to the skys. So many ATSers demand photos along with personal accounts, we are all going to start looking like tourist within our own neighborhoods.

Not one.
All those eyewitness accounts.
No photo's.
How 1960's.
If this is some how encouraging, eyewitness accounts only , in our digital age were phone cameras seem to be the norm. Then you will be waiting a long, long time Fran, for that day when we get difinitive proof.
BTW, awesome graphics. www.examiner.com...
I don't agree Fran, I know what you mean but I will explain after the following quote.

I hear you and I know what your saying. However, its all about educating the masses to be ready for something.
Its funny that we would ned to educate the public to take photo's of UFO's. Its hardly a new topic or phenomena.
If you were walking down the street, mobile in pocket, and you saw a craft that wasn't anything like you had seen before would your instincts be to grab your phone, press the camera button wait for the camera to load up then snap a picture. Before the craft disapears.
I disagree. People are actually processing their lives as an event through digital mediums like phones and cameras more and more. Why the UFO phenomena would not be represented proprotionally, via these mediums, to the number of sightings highlites a massive flaw, IMHO.
The answer of course is no. You would need more times to process the event.

Look at the celebrity culture for example, photo's and video are now commodities valued by all media.
We are a culture emersed in the visual.
There are a plethora of videos and photos of crimes, accidents, violence, celebrities et etc. To think that people don't think twice about getting a mobile phone or camera out when unexpected events unfold like the above would some how not apply to an unexpected and unexplainable object in the sky is hard to swallow.

To you and me of course its not, but to the sheeple it is a completely new phenomena. Something that they have only just began to read about since the lifting of the (threat to national security) last year to allow MSM to report it.
Yes it is interesting, as someone interested in the phenomena it is topical but does that make it significant as a truth? Celebrities express alot of beliefs but the ones relevant to the observer are significant to that obsever only so we have to be careful not to filter out ALL the beliefs expressed by any group and use it as a support for our own beliefs.
Why we mention the celebrity culture, its interesting to see how many 'celebs' are coming out and saying publicly they are interested in UFO's, as the subject is become trendy.
This is my point. We are exposed to topics like Aliens nd UFO's as part of everyday culture. Look at any TV guide, Movies, cartoons, media reports, Talkshows, radioshows, internet, magazines, books, fiction, look at the number of groups, societies and buisnesses that are inspired by these topics, there are even established religions that have their core beliefs derived from these topics. The Idea of UFO and Aliens is ingrained in our western culture IMHO. Why this is not reflected in the habits of individual who capture all these other events via the dominance of personal mobile digital media is a problem for me.
Sure but these are all earthly things i.e everyday life, we have become de sensitised by the images we see in the media therfore, to us its an everyday occurance.
I agree, time is a factor, but if you read the reports you linked, they contradict this.
Sightings they only last a few seconds to a few minutes and you spend all that time looking at the object trying to make sense of it.
Finally, after about 10 minutes, they were directly over me and flying at a very low altitude, and at a very low speed.
The craft then after about 3 minutes rose upward hovered for a brief time then took off Northbound at a very high rate of speed and I lost sight.
I do remember this. This is a criticism of the event. Ask yourself, why did we not get more fotage. WHY? in this day and age.
Remember the Ohare sighting that was witnessed by countless of people? why didn't the witnesses take photos of the object it was low enough to get a good picture wasn't it?
I agree, there would be that element of "what the hell is that thing?" I doubt there would not be a single one of us that would not go through that whilst referencing our minds for examples of human "crafts" that we have had experienced that would help us quantify the new unexplained experience.
The problem is they were mesmorised by the object. something that defies our educated minds to as far as we can go means that it will take much longer to registar the event.
I can see what you mean, but I would argue that we already are accepting of UFO and Aliens as being possible. I find it troubling that with the amount of individuals that are interested in this topic, exposed to it, or even just aware of it, that this is not reflected by a society increasingly habitual in capturing experiences via this personal and mobile digital media.
Therefore, when I talk about education, I mean desensitising and conditioning the mind to accepting the event, therefore, allowing the mind to to put the sighting to one side and get out the camera.
Well, Fran, anything we experience is going to be pertaigning to earth HUMAN BEINGS. I feel you are grasping at the concept that there is no knowledge of UFO and Aliens within the mainstream. This is absolutely wrong. You or I are not privy to secret knowledge, we are exposed to the same information as all others by and large, our interest grows by experience or exposure to those that have had experiences or pop culture inspired by these. Our topic of interest, UFO's, is also competing with a plethora of other beliefs that also share the problem UFO and Aliens experience when we look at the lack of proof within a culture immersed in personal and portable technology.
Again everything you talk about has already been conditioned into our mind they are all pertainign to earth HUMAN BEINGS when a person sees something that doesn't fit in to the criteria we have been sold its a different ball game.
Does it mean you are lying, No. But can you prove that? This is what the topic is up against. Like all these alternative or supernatural topics.
When I first had my sighting I was spellbound I didn't think twice about getting a camera, until the event was over. Does that mean I am lying?
