Woman “totally freaked” by low-flying UFO

UFO “sucked all the sound” out of the air

Huge donut-shaped UFO over Linville Falls, NC

EDITOR’S NOTE:  We received the above drawing of a spacecraft and the following sighting report on May 9, 2013 from a woman in Durham, North Carolina.

I experienced a sighting in Durham, NC on April 5, 2013.  I would like to remain anonymous.  My sighting was similar to one posted on your website back in 2010 by Ms. Shirley Lumsden.

I was driving home from my cousin's house around 10 p.m. on Highway 147 heading north.  As I was approaching the Elba Street exit, something to the left of me caught my eye.  I looked up and saw what I thought was an airplane flying low and thought “Wow, why is that plane flying so low?”

As I looked at this object, my mind was flooded with thoughts.  I thought “Oh, it's a helicopter, Duke Med Center life flight or whatever.”  Then I thought “Wait, it's NOT a helicopter and Duke Med Center doesn't use airplanes to do their medical transport.” 

This aircraft was shaped sort of oblong, like an airplane without wings, and had different colored lights.  It appeared to be descending.  I totally freaked but was driving so I had to pay attention so I wouldn’t hit a car on the freeway.  In my mind I just thought, “No, no, no, no, no, no, I did not see what I thought I saw.”

About 30 to 60 seconds later I got to my exit – the Hillandale exit. I decided that since I was at the bottom of the exit ramp that I could look up and back again.  Surely something that large would still be there.  I wanted to confirm that it was not at all what I thought it was, but it was gone as if it was never there.

Two days later on Sunday morning April 7 between 9:30 and 10 a.m., I had to take the same route to 147 South.  I hadn't been in that area since my sighting on Friday and I felt very, very nervous even though it was daylight.  I looked up and I saw two chemtrails which I've seen before, but two in the same spot, and the same spot where I saw this aircraft?

I tried to draw a picture the day after I saw the object.   I'm not the best artist but I've attached an illustration of what I saw that night.  The arrow is pointing to something that looked like a windshield or something to that effect.

EDITOR’S NOTE:  We’re posting this report from the UFO Sightings Report website because it occurred in Marion, North Carolina – a town southeast of Linville Gorge known for the Brown Mountain Lights and a possible secret underground facility.  According to the report, a sphere-shaped UFO was seen on January 6, 2013 at 6:20 p.m.  We’d like to thank Don Cooper for sending us the information.

I'm an avid sky-watcher, so I am constantly looking towards the heavens for meteors, planets, etc. I happened to be looking south and noticed a bright orange orb. It appeared to be bobbing up and down because I could see it rising and falling behind some tree branches. I then observed it go up vertically and the object then appeared to get larger, so I knew it was coming straight in my direction.

Also, there was absolutely NO noise coming from this craft. Unfortunately, I ran back inside to get my camera (which wasn't any longer than about 10 or 15 seconds) and by the time I got back outside, the craft had completely disappeared.

This is the second time I have observed an orange orb craft at this location. I saw one back in June of 2012 at about 4 a.m. This one I watched for about 10 minutes as it traversed northeast and went directly overhead. It also had no sound. As a matter of fact, it was almost like it sucked all the sound out of the environment.  I could hear no crickets, cicadas, or any wind blowing - very eerie.

After this one passed overhead, I observed it wobble; then it shot straight up like a bullet from a gun. It was gone that quickly!

EDITOR’S NOTE:  We received the following report and sketch from Spuz Schissler of Linville Falls, North Carolina in December 2012. 

I’m enclosing a small sketch of what I saw in the morning sky either November 29 or 30, 2012.  When I first saw it, I thought “What a strange cloud.” Then as I watched it on my drive home, it didn’t move like a cloud.  

Spuz’s sketch is shown between photos of Linville Gorge and Linville Falls.

The “cloud” just seemed to stay in one place.  The inside of it was  flat and gray.  The outside was bright, almost white.  The bottom of the white area also was flat and didn’t seem curved.   In fact, the edge didn’t really look like a cloud’s edge because  it was not irregular. The edges of  the gray inside area and the outer light band were both quite crisp. 

Also, this thing was HUGE!  When I raised my forearm to a right angle in front of my face, the thing was as big as from my elbow to my hand.  I don’t know what I saw,  but there were no other clouds in the sky near it.

These are photos of actual donut-shaped UFOs.
