At 1:37 p.m. Dr. B. Hand, a geology professor and a NICAP UFO investigator, sighted two silver cylinders moving against the wind in a bright blue sky over Amherst, Massachusetts . They made no sound as they went behind some low lying cumulus clouds and did not emerge. The duration of the sighting was 42 seconds.(Source http://thecid.com/ufo)

Sighted at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. It was either a mild late summer or fall early morning with a bit of fog. It was just after day break. I was walking along the campus center pond when I looked up over my shoulder to see what appeared to be a rotating like drum/cylinder that was defined by vertical rectangles of light. Nothing else defined the object but the rectangles of light. The size of the light panels were maybe 10 feet wide by 15 feet tall. The drum was rotating in a right to left stop and go motion if I remember correctly. It was a silent moving rotating object that stayed in place as it sat on top of the fog above the pond. The UFO lasted for a few seconds and seemed to just fade out in place. I looked about to see if there were any other people walking that morning on campus but there were not. I was alone. I remember just having a sense of curiosity and wonder, but no emotions of fear or concern at what I saw.(Source http://thecid.com/ufo)

I saw a craft shaped like a boomerang and it was hovering about 100 feet above the tree tops. It was a glowing pale orange-yellow. The only color that I can think of that comes close is the color of a flame. The color seemed to have a fluid movement like when looking at a flame too. I was in my car and came upon this object, and I stoped the car to look at it. It stayed there for about two and a half minutes and then just seemed to blink out. Just like some one turning off a light. This is not the first time that I have seen strange things in the sky, but this was the first time that I had fear in my heart over it. There was no reason that I could understand, for the feelings of fear, but the feeling was there just the same. A great deal of fear. This object made no sound at all. I don't remember the exact date, but I do know it was about 7 to 9 days before christmas.(Source http://thecid.com/ufo)

At roughly 11:15pm a circular object much larger than the surrounding stars was seen descending from sky until its view was obscured by trees. The object emitted a white light with an outer ring of blue. No blinking was observed. The object traveled slower than a shooting star. (Source NUFORC.org)

The observer was looking at a tree line about 50 yards to 75 yards ahead of me, and about 20 feet above that, appeared a green circle very bright with no back light shining on any of the trees and it looked like it was divided into four sections with four green lights. The object appeared above the tree line but did not come from any direction, it just seemed to appear in that spot in the sky. Then it shot straight past the tree line where I couldn't see it the occurrence only happened roughly 5 seconds but it was very vivid and very easy to describe because it was that close to me.
