A "mother ship" resembling a giant football . . . a whirling coin-shaped disk
|
|
that flashes across the sky at fantastic speed . . . a diamond-shaped craft
|
|
with a brilliant, mirror-like surface.
|
|
|
|
These are among the most common UFO shapes, according to veteran UFO
|
|
researcher Brad Steiger, author of Mysteries of Time and Space.
|
|
|
|
Here are detailed descriptions based on Steiger's analysis of several thousand
|
|
sightings over the past 40 years:
|
|
|
|
1. The Classic flying saucer. This is the most common UFO of all -- it's been
|
|
reported around the world for more than four decades, according to Steiger.
|
|
"The craft has a metallic saucer-like body ranging in diameter from 10 to 15
|
|
feet. An exhaust port on the bottom emits a yellow light that dances like a
|
|
flame upon takeoff. Bright lights rim the saucer, and a clear circular dome is
|
|
often seen on the saucer portion."
|
|
|
|
2. Conicl Disk. This UFO resembles a Chinese peasant's large straw hat. It has
|
|
a flat bottom. The craft is generally reported as being about 20 feet in
|
|
diameter and 10 to 12 feet high at the peak, with no exterior lights.
|
|
|
|
3. Football Shaped. This craft has a thick black body that tapers off at
|
|
either end. Smaller UFOs have reportedly been seen entering and leaving a bay
|
|
on its lower surface -- so it's often called "mother ship." Reports have
|
|
placed the craft's size at up to 80 feet long and 20 feet high.
|
|
|
|
4. Coin-Like Disk. Shaped like a giant 50-cent piece, this UFO is the type
|
|
most often reported by military and airline pilots flying at 20,000 to 40,000
|
|
feet. Eyewitnesses say the flat edge of the disk often is ringed with red or
|
|
green lights. The spaceship is incredibly fast, zipping along at speeds of more
|
|
than 2,500 m.p.h. "The craft has been estimated at 15 to 20 feet in diameter
|
|
and 2 to 3 feet high."
|
|
|
|
5. Top-Shaped. Reminiscent of a child's toy top, this craft is fat in the
|
|
middle and tapered above and below. It's covered with multicolored lights.
|
|
Powerful jets around its midsection move the UFO in any direction. "Round
|
|
portholes often ring the vehicle. The body often is said to be grayish, like a
|
|
shark's skin."
|
|
|
|
6. Egg-Shaped. This massive vehicle -- also thought to be a mother ship -- has
|
|
been reported to be up to 200 feet in length. It has an oval shape like an
|
|
egg, with no visible portholes or windows, and glows slightly in the dark.
|
|
|
|
7. Diamond-Shaped. This craft resembles the top half of a diamond mounted on a
|
|
flat surface. Its exterior is polished and as dazzling as a mirror in bright
|
|
sunlight. The UFO usually is about 18 feet across and 8 to 10 feet high. It
|
|
has not portholes or windows.
|
|
|
|
8. Blinding Light. Typically spotted at night, this UFO doesn't have a
|
|
definite shape -- it's simply a dazzling orange light. "But it moves
|
|
methodically, as if guided by some form of alien intelligence," says Steiger.
