A Massachusetts witness at Hingham reports watching “a very bright object with white and red light” at 200 feet that was 20 to 30 feet in diameter that eventually shot off at a 90 degree angle and disappeared on November 5, 2011, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness and a girlfriend had just stepped outside when the object came into view and they both looked up.
“When I did I saw a very bright objet covered in white and red light shoot across us,” the witness stated. “The object was low in the sky, approximately 200 or so feet off the ground. I would say the object must have been between 20-30 feet in diameter and it was going in a west to east direction.”
The object seemed to slow down as it passed them, and then shot off quickly.
“After watching it for maybe five seconds, it shot off into the sky at close to a 90-degree angle, leaving behind a slight reddish aura-trail. You could not see the object traveling through the air, so it looked more like it almost just vanished, or at least travelled faster than the eye could follow.”
No images or video were included with the MUFON report, which was filed on November 6, 2011. The events occurred on November 5, 2011. Hingham is a town in northern Plymouth County, in the greater Boston area, population 22,561.
Massachusetts is a current UFO ALERT 5 rating, with a low number of UFO sightings nationally. Massachusetts had 3 reports in October 2011 – the 40th highest reporting state in the nation – while Missouri was the highest reporting state with 75 reports.

MA, November 5, 2011 – fast lighted object flew over us, slowed down, then shot off into sky. MUFON Case 33172.
My gf and I were leaving a benefit held at the Sons of Italy in Hingham. The sky was completely clear, with a clear view of the stars. As we were walking to the car I felt the “urge” to look up the sky (find out my gf had the same “urge” to do the same).
When I did I saw a very bright objet covered in white and red light shoot across us. The object was low in the sky, approximately 200 or so feet off the ground. I would say the object must have been between 20-30 ft in diameter and it was going in a west to east direction.
At first I thought was seeing a meteorite, but realized it was extremely close to us and rather large in size. I shouted “Look!” to my gf. It also appeared to slow down as it passed us, but at its highest speed was still faster then any plane I have seen. If it was a meteorite of that size, going that fast I would suspect we would hear a sonic boom or at least a crash, but it was completely quiet.
AFter watching it for maybe 5 seconds it shot off into the sky at close to a 90 degree angle leaving behind a slight reddish aura/ trail. You could not see the object traveling thru the air, so it looked more like it almost just vanished or at least travelled faster then the eye could follow. My gf then said “OMG did you see that”, I said yes and we discussed what we both saw, and tried to think of possible explanations.
We stayed outside for another 5 minutes looking up in the sky to see if anything else happened, but nothing further happend so we went to my car to go home. I did not have any alcoholic beverages prior to the witness and my gf had one. We both said how we felt the “urge” to look up in the sky right at that moment. For those that watch the show Fact or Faked on SYFY, the object/ light looked exactly like the object that the investigator filmed while doing an investigation at Area 51 that aired this season.
