The report, as filed

Well, driving home on Rochester road there was this space craft seemed to be sort of filling us.. Now, where I live there is light pollution so you can't see shooting stars and anything like that. All of a sudden this bolt of i don't even know, what looked liked a shooting star hit the craft. We pull into a church parking lot, the craft is literally so low, we could see it, it was still just like we were, had a greenish almost blue glow. We start driving again, the craft does this weird turn but ever so smoothly and heads the direction we are in. My friend screams out the car windown nothing happened, we turn down this dirt road and all of a sudden boom it's gone.. But the most scariest interesting part of this whole entire thing, earlier that night at my friends house this sound I could not explained occurred, and lights flickered, and all of a sudden her basement door was open. Then animals in the house became terrified. I felt this weird feeling in my body, I wasn't afraid I was expecting them, but something was in her house. We called the police thinking maybe were crazy and someone waist had broken in, the police found no evidence, all if the cabinets were open, all of her art supplies were open in the cabinets, the bar downstairs fridge open. Then the sound stopped right when the police came. Twenty minutes after they left we got in the car, drove around.. And saw what we had seen…

This morning around 11:30 I seen a silver, spherical shaped UFO. As I was walking out of my house, I noticed a dot in the sky with clouds behind it. At first, I thought it was a bird extremely high up in the air, but as it continued to move straight forward at high speeds, the sunlight caught its reflection and it shined a bright flash of light, which further drew my attention to it. This is when I realized it was spherical and silver, although it also seemed to be reflecting the light surrounding it. It had to be at least 15-20,000 ft high. I continued to observe it while walking to my car, which was facing the direction it was coming from. It continued to move straight forward at a high speed. As I got into my car, it made a sudden vertical shot upwards, with a blurry kind of hue surrounding it. It was no longer visible because of how high up it was. There was no noise during this sighting.

I was taking a photograph of the sunset when I saw something in the left corner. After I took the picture I looked to the sky and it disappeared. The picture was live so I turned it into a video image and have emailed this for you to look at. I’m not sure what it is but the way it moved when I wasn’t moving the camera was strange and lights lit up on it, and there’s some strange movement underneath it telling me it was a reflection in the lens.

I was walking my neighbors dog. It was still light out at 8:10pm eastern time or 20:00, with a blue sky and a few scattered clouds. I looked up at the sky as I do often and noticed a object very high, flying from west to east. At first I thought it was a plane or even a drone. The more I looked I noticed there was no noise, no engine sound, no contrail, and no chemtrail. It was silent. I kept watching and I realized planes and drones are not egg or tic tac shaped. It was all bright white. Not lit up white but just white like a tic tac. No lights at all. The object flew straight, west to east, no zig zagging, or turns. It suddenly disappeared into a clear sky as if it there one second and gone the next. I'm not even sure what I saw, but I know for sure it wasn't a plane.
