At approx. 7:15pm on Friday 7/28, I was driving southbound on I-95 going towards Providence RI to attend a music concert. Note - I had not drunk any alcohol prior to driving or done any type of drugs. Note - I am usually overall a very aware person of my surroundings and have had heightened awareness recently due to meditation. While driving between the Attleboro exit (4B) and the Pawtucket exit (2B), looking out to the left side of my windshield, I saw a very shiny object. It was several miles in the distance but very clear to the eye. It was an orb shape, either sphere or cubical, or both. It was not in the long shape of a plane whatsoever, or anything close to looking like a plane. It hovered in place for several seconds as I locked into looking at it. It slightly turned back and forth, while the sun beamed off of its shiny outside. I took my eyes off of the object several times to look at the road, and it still hovered there. I was sort of mesmerized by it and felt like I was the only person seeing this object. Then as I took my eyes off of it once again, I looked back and the object was gone from its original position. I tracked the area of the sky for a few short seconds and saw the object many, many, many miles away this time. Like 20 or 30 miles away, far. It went south/southeast. It was hard to see at this point, but it hovered in place again. Then as I squinted and tried to lock my eyes onto it again, it zigzagged to another space in that general area where it was many miles away. I looked back at the road, then looked back to the space again. At that point, I could not see it again and continued on my drive. I've never seen anything like this before and am confident it was a UAP/UFO. A few minutes later, I saw a standard plane flying high above in the clouds, and for perspective, it was nothing close to the shape and specs as what I saw earlier. Note that this observation occurred in or around the Bridgewater Triangle area.

2:40 pm, sunny, windy. Looked up in the eastern sky and saw a spherical object approach, fly overhead and off into the distance. Thought it could have been a mylar balloon but it didn't "dance" like a balloon would and it's rate of speed did not behave like a balloon. There was no noise or lights. Color of the object was silver and reflective.

Perfectly seen from Route 118 South, in open fields. Triangle formations of red/white strobes sitting perfectly still. Occaisionally one will blink out, and dart across the sky into a different formation. There seems to be one centralized light in the North, and to the west of that, at least 1 Triangle formation and 2 individual formations.

What I saw may have only been a shooting star or falling space debris. A blue glow shot through the sky to my left, at such an angle that if it were small and close it could have impacted the earth within my town. I listened and heard nothing, so I suppose it could have been larger and farther away than I assumed but there was no air burst or flash of light. This leads me to believe it was a small piece of debris, had it been a space shuttle in the distance it would have taken a less steep entry angle. Knowing that UFOs can accelerate instantaneously I assume they can decelerate just as fast. If the composition of said potential craft was hard and dense enough I suppose it may have completed it's journey whole. From the center of Attleboro it appeared in the southern sky, towards Rhode Island. The trail seen may have only been a streak of light caused by super heating. The curved edge was about the size of the tip of a finger at arm's length.

I was driving down the road. I observed a saucer with a dome shaped top. There was only one. It looked to be 1-5 miles away judging by the size of the craft. The craft did not have any lights shining off of it, but it seemed as though it was glowing with a blue aura. It was floating in the distance above the town of Seekonk. I could see this due to the fact I was driving along a main road on top of a hill. There was not a cloud in the sky that night. As I observed the saucer, it stayed in one place completely still as I continued down the road. I continued home to pick up my girlfriend. I drove back to the same spot two minutes later and it was no longer there. I was the only one who observed this event. My background is as follows: 22 year old Caucasian male. High school diploma with some college. I work in the aviation industry as a fabrication department supervisor for a ground power cable supply manufacturer.
