The report, as filed
It had been the fifth time this type of UFO has come to our area, which is our back yard. The difference has been its size and distance to My home. Every appearance, has drawn it closer and larger than the last one. The first sighting was on 30 December 2016 @ 2300 hours. It appeared and traveled down the street and above My neighbor's house across the street, then it came over mine. It was so close I could have hit it with a baseball easily. The neighbor in questioned moved from the fear of the incident. This first one was saucer shape, reddish/orange, pulsating as it revolted, silently, eventually speeding incredibly fast over head and east off of Hwy 87. The next two were on 26 January and 8 February, 2017. These two were very similar in size, though larger than the first on 30 December 2016. The one on 26 January 2017 appeared at 2145 hours, with three major reddish/orange lights equal distant apart, with a diamond like object trailing it behind and below the craft. It diamond shape figure eventually joint the major part of the craft from underneath, then flow away as it traverse the trees at a distance. The next one, on 8 February was huge, yet silent as well. It didn't create no sound or disturbance of the atmosphere. It remained steady state for approximately 45 minutes, if not more, because I was lost in its beauty. This one too hard the three reddish/orange glow of lights, equally distant from each other and a trailing diamond shaped object. The only difference with this observation was that the craft was larger than the last and the diamond shaped object moved more distal from the main object and freely over the neighboring homes and streets and tree lines. The observation was the 11 April 2017, and without a doubt, the largest ever observed, and not just by Me, but by My entire family. I've waited a long time to be vindicated by this current sighting, because all the others were seen by Me and when reported to My family, it was received rather unappreciated. Then this sighting! occurre d and I was vindicated. Like I said this one was the largest of them all, were every detail could be observed by everyone. It too had the three reddish/orange lights equally distant, the bottom base could be seen perfectly, which demonstrated were the diamond shaped craft would descend from and the full range of what else there was underneath the UFO. The bottom part, as I said, had the diamond shaped craft, along with what appeared to be a silvery bracket holding it in place, with some lighting as well. You could see the way the edges of the UFO curved upward, all the way around. The top seemed like a shimmering light blue glow about it. Once again, it was silent, and I expected some sound, considering the size of this UFO. The size, without question, had two be 3 and half times the size of My house, because as it traveled over it. It had extend equally on both ends, which would make it over 3 times 76 feet in diameter, since My home is 76 feet long. Making it more than 275 feet in diameter. The only thing I question id why now? Why these recent visits to My area, and almost the exact same area. Truth be told, since moving out to this area in 2005, I've since UFOs land near by, even to the extent of leaving circles in My back yard. Some time floating between My property and My neighbors, but never this large or this close. There must be something going on around here, if not with Me, since I've had several experiences in My entire life with these things, and for generations apparently.

Walking my dog for the late night shift, I had my eyes on the night sky it was quite clear. Looking up at the stars, I witnessed a point of light (assuming a star) at the moment turn into a ball of different colors. I watched as it came down vertically from the sky and hover for just a brief moment before completely going behind the tree line closer to the ground. This object gave no trail of entering the atmosphere so I checked off it being a meteor or satellite entry, this object also did not break apart into different sections either however the object stopped in mid descent before going back to “falling”. No noise only three bright bursts of light within split seconds of each other (Green,Blue,Purple) again leaving no streak on the night sky or splitting apart. Freaked me out while I stood on the side of the road watching in awe and quite frankly fear. It was crazy, had my hair standing up on the back of my neck.

While taking my dog on usual morning walk, i stopped to observe a group of buzzards that had gathered in a large oak tree, as they did daily. While observing the birds, the bright white object appeared against the very blue sky. It moved from north to south at a high rate of speed for approximately 3-5 seconds. As I was trying to remove my phone from my pocket to take a picture/video, it abruptly stopped and disappeared. There were no lights, sounds, or anything else noticeable about the object.

I have always been drawn to the subject of ufology, and when I found out that my good friend Jeremy Bledsoe's father could offer some information, I overtime tried to find an opportunity where I could meet him in a comfortable setting where I could ask him questions. Jeremy was very willing to have me and my brother meet his father so we set up a time we could get together, get some pizza and then go golfing. Chris was very open and down to earth when it came to discussing his experience and ufology in general. The time spent with him that day golfing with him, his son, and my brother was more than pleasant. While golfing, Christopher said something along the lines of "Well, why don't you come around the house tonight around 6:30 if y'all want to see something." As the three of us pulled into the property, Chris was waiting for us with his eyes to the sky calling us to come look. **What we saw**: A bright light in an orb shape permeating the night's sky. The orbs' light looked as if it was an animated version of an unstable molecule. The orb was present for a full two minutes or so it did a spiral descent above the cabin and then disappeared. The orb made no noise whatsoever.

I am a 41 year old, retired Army Intelligence Officer with 21 years of active duty service living in Fayetteville, NC. I was on my porch at 11:22 pm Christmas Eve when I looked up as a small flash of light caught my attention. A distant, white light flew from east to west at incredible speed creating a light trail behind it. The light then stopped instantly and paused for half a second at high altitude before accelerating westward and seemingly upward into space creating another light trail behind it as it vanished. There was no sound from the object and the entire event occured in perhaps two seconds within a relatively small area in the visible sky. To me, it looked as though "something" had simply dropped in for a quick look before taking off at or near light speed.

My husband and I were at a red light on Owen Dr. in Fayetteville, NC awaiting to turn left onto 301. We both witnessed several lights appear in the night sky at once. Strangely, the lights were moving left to right, down then up, as well as disappear then randomly reappear in strange formations. At times they would stop and stay in place and then suddenly move into perfect lines/shapes/etc. No sound accompanied the lights and total were visually consistent for around 7 minutes. Then all together they disappeared. Definitely not an aircraft although we did see an aircraft after the fact with searching lights and moving super slow and appeared to be in search.
