I was a passenger in a moving vehicle and I was taking a picture of the sunset in Iowa and I took two pictures back to back and when I looked at the second picture days later I noticed an object in the picture that was not in the first picture nor was it in the distance of the area I was photographing. It looks as if there is a rectangular three-dimensional platform and a dark shadow that descends in the shape of a cone

I noticed an object hovering in the air and took a picture. I mention multiple witnesses as I was on a plane with my squadron and only guess they must've seen it too. Sighting was never mentioned due to ridicule. Time felt missing, far more than just simply being on a 4 hour flight.

Coming from Ohio to Connecticut. 40 miles from New York Border in pennsylvania. Unsure of where we were. Came around the corner on this highway after a rainstorm 1:30 a.m.. myself my wife and kids. Kids were asleep. As we came around the corner we were no less than 100 feet from this craft. It was massive. Overhung the highway over this Valley and it was way over 100 ft wide. I am a former helicopter mechanic and I know a bit about aviation. This thing had Square Windows. Each window was approximately 3 ft by 3 ft and it was at least 16 to 18 across and the same across the upper level as well. We had complete paralysis as the car came to a stall. All we could do is move our eyes and saw 45 beings out of peripheral. Gray one piece outfits on. There were many components on the outside of this craft that were attached. A peach colored light emitted from each window but we were looking upwards kind of towards the craft so could not see directly in but only the ceiling of each level basically. I have seen UFO since I was a child and approximately every 3 to 5 years I see one usually with family or friends present. I believe this thing knew I was there or on my way around that corner. We will woke up 5 Mi away an hour and a half later on an exit completely stirred and shaken. There's no doubt in my mind my family and I were abducted that night and dropped back off. I would like to do hypnotic regression. The thought of it makes me nervous thinking back on it. This is an absolutely 100% true story and I would take a lie detector test if need be.

11-30-2020 While flying Alaska flight 1468 from Seattle to Nashville, The time and state is approximate. I saw a shadow appear on the ground in an otherwise sunny sky, I looked up to see nothing but blinding sun. I grabbed my camera and took a series of photos in a very difficult lighting condition. The photos show what I saw, good enough to amaze anyone I have shown them too. I have 8 photos. Attaching one.

Im not sure which city or state it was either Utah or idaho but we both saw an object in space looking somewhat like a rocket with bright red florescent streams behind it. It was super bright and traveled at super fast speeds we saw it for about 2 seconds then it was gone. It didn't just disappear it was more like on a destination somewhere. But it was something i never saw and something strang.

My wife and i were driving west on I195 near exit 22 at approx 10:15 pm when what looked tobe a flaming object (torch like) appeared in the night sky crossing an estimated quarter mile in front of us. It was travelling at an incredible rate of speed. (1000+mph?). It was far enough in front of us that i never considered reducing my driving speed, but vanished behind the trees along the highway in a matter of seconds. It was heading on a steep angle toward the ground My wife and I both saw it. Impossible to miss given the brightness and proximity of the object. I expected to hear a crash and/or see a fireball explosion but no sound or visible sight of a crash occurred.
