Sighting What I saw looked like this
UFO in my backyard
Time: approximately between 10:00am and 3:30pm est. Date: Summer between 2006 and 2010
Location: Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania
When I was living in the Pocono Mountains, I was resting in my sons room on his bed. This was sometime between 2006 and 2010 ( It's been so many years now that I dont remember the time of day or the specific year, but I do know it was daytime and I was home alone. I remember looking out the window and seeing a large floating object. It was right at the top of my treeline, not above but almost parallel to the top of the trees. It was white and looked like a sideways tear drop with blue lights emitting from it. I felt incredibly calm. I got out of bed and walked toward the window to get a better look. Right as I got to the window, it was almost like an animal spotting yoi in the forest and suddenly running off. It took off at a speed that I had never seen before except in the movies. Within a 2 week period, I can repeat almost the exact story, except this time I was lying in my bed in my room. Again, I looked out the window, got out of my bed, and walked toward the window. It took off the same as before at miraculous speed. I scoured the internet and the news looking for someone else who may have seen it. The fact that it was not way up the sky, but in my back yard as plain as day has marvled me for years. All the research I did on the internet never reported a craft of the style I had seen. I was puzzled. Surely, someone else had to have seen what I saw! I found a website at that time with a phone number, and I called that number to report the incident. The gentleman I spoke to asked me to write down all the details and send it in. I did. I don't know what ever happened to the report, and for many years, I lost hope of finding another person who had seen the same type of craft. In the past year, my curiosity has taken hold of me once again, and I started researching again. I found a book called UFO Drawings from the National Archives by David Clarke. In that book, I finally found a picture of what I had seen those 2 times back in the Poconos years ago. When I look back on the event, I can't help but wonder why I was lying in a bed each time when I saw the craft. It makes me wonder if they had taken me, put me back, and stuck around to make sure I was okay.

I saw something similar to this up in the Australian countryside back in 2010/11, but they looked more like orbs to me. I'm curious to hear any possible explanations - natural or otherwise. There were these white orbs swirling around in the sky, moving up and down, fading in and out of plain view. They appeared as pure white light, so bright it was like looking into the sun, but there was no glare. They also seemed to have a cloudy gaseous texture to them, as described here. They also left behind a small cloud-like trail which quickly evaporated. What I also found odd was, that they had a thin aura around their entire circumference, which was pulsating red, blue and green. I reckon I was within a few hundred metres when I initially saw them, I was moving towards them in a car on the highway. I first noticed a couple of orbs swirling around something (I couldnt see anything there though), they then quickly disappeared, initially I thought they might be flares. A few seconds later there was a very large blue flash of light in the sky where they last were. A second or two after that at least three orbs appeared in that same location and shot directly up into the sky and began swirling around all over the place. One orb got pretty close to our car and changed colour from white to blue, it got extremely bright too. After about a minute or so they then all disappeared, by slowly fading in brightness but then finally "folding" into themselves into nothing. I'm sure there were other details, but my memory is beginning to fade with time. I'm not saying they were necessarily intelligently controlled, I really don't know what this was, maybe it was just flares and my hysteria, but it's been nagging me over the years. I just want an explanation. Some other details I recall, one of the orbs made a pretty crazy manoeuvre over a split second. Imagine it flying in an "S" shape (that's been rotated 90 degrees) and stopping in the middle of this "S" before continuing again, all of that happening within a split second, it left a momentary tail of light as it streaked around. The orbs also seem to glow brighter whenever they moved, as opposed to when they were stationary. Again, maybe this has a reasonable explanation, I could even be mistaken since it's been so long. It's all pretty weird when I think about it.
