My daughter and her friend, my granddaughter and I were on our porch this evening at 8:00 p.m. The weather was clear and warm. My daughter said to look at an object in the sky that seemed to be flashing colors of white, red and blue. It seemed to be about 20 percent larger and closer than stars or maybe even the moon. I went into the house and got my binoculars, and we each had a turn or three looking at this object. It looked to me like it was at least the size of two of the largest passenger planes wide, and was of circular shape. There was one large light in the center of the bottom that was brighter than the other lights that were surrounding that center light. All of the lights were white, but would change to either blue or red. The craft was quite clear in my binoculars. It seemed like it was in our atmosphere, and maybe lower to earth. We four discussed the possibility of a weather station or a large satellite. Just the history of reports of! UFO’s describing the disc like or saucer shape, prompted me to report this siting. I went back into the house about 8:30 p.m., after our social distance visit, and got my camera and tried to capture the image, but couldn’t find it again. I took pictures, anyway, thinking it might show up on digital, but it did not show.

My wife was taking pictures of the full moon on the night of April 8th around 10:30 pm when she notices a orangish pink object moving erratically in the sky. She started to video the object. She got 1 minute and 45 seconds of the object flying around. Then the object disappears twice and at the 12 second mark it lets out a flash of light, similar to sheet lightening.( looks like it was hit by something) At about 1 minute and 38 seconds it disappears two more times and another bright light flashes across the sky. This time it leaves a trail and disappears.( looks like it was shot down by something). My wives phone battery instantly discharges to zero charge and shut off. We had no cloud cover that night and no planes were flying in or out of the airport at that time. I will send the video to back this up. Thanks

I was driving home from my barn on Greenhill Rd. I could see the aircraft and it had a bright yellow light. As I drove from Vogt to Hwy 36 the light got brighter. As I turned down Pitney I could see this object hovering in one place. About 1/3 of the way down Pitney Ln, I stopped. This thing was definitely hovering and I could see the underside perfectly. It was in the shape of a triangle and resembled a jet. On the long sides of the triangle were a row of repeating order red, green, and white lights. It was higher than the light and power poles but not quite as high up at a large plane. It was poring down rain and I could see every detail on the bottom of the aircraft. There was also had a light on the bottom of the nose scanning the fields to the left of me and behind me (I was headed to my house by Junction City High School.) I stopped just for a minute trying to figure out what it was. I’m used to jets flying around us but this was silent, stayed put, and was scanning the fields. I’ve never seen a jet do that. I was cold so continued my drive and it was still there when I turned back. I probably seen it for a total of 5 minutes (from my barn until I turned down High Pass.)
