Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

We saw a bright yellow light that was making no sound and sat in one spot in the sky.

"On Friday August 15, 2002 at 10:10 pm my boyfriend and I were outside getting in his car and we saw 3 jets flying overhead. We got in the car and started driving. A local golf course is nearby and it is a very wide open space. We pulled in there and saw the jets all going into the same direction. We then saw a huge yellow bright light staying in one spot over the field. It was maybe 2,000 feet over the field. Jets were still flying towards it. We stared at it for about 15 seconds...it was still making no sound and did not move at all. We checked for flashing lights to see if it was a plane, there was nothing. When the jets started to get close the object and light in the sky totally disappeared. It did not move in any direction...just fanished. The jets started to just circle around. We got freaked out and immediately left."

NUFORC Note:

We spoke with this witness, her boyfriend, and her father, and they seemed sincere in their respective descriptions of what they allegedly had witnessed. PD
