A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

It started when we were done with our hike and we spotted a bright white light hovering in the sky. We felt this vehicle was watching us so we walked to the other side of the property and the vehicle moved to the opposite side of the sky once again remaining stationary. The light began to flash and 6 other objects began flashing red with it in the vicinity. Then I watched the ufo turn its light off and back into the sky blending in. As it got later we continued to follow this object to a dark area where we then seen a light hovering behind the trees, we continued to to approach this location that we were being drawn to. Once we stopped that’s when it happened, we made contact. We could feel their presence all around us and could see the silhouettes standing there. We initiated contact with them and they touched us to let us know they were there. We then looked up and seen a craft fly right over heads slowly letting us know they were there. Also, there were other crafts flying in a bouncing motion in the area. In conclusion, we had seen over 6 alien crafts and made contact with these beings who brought us to the forest.

This is cellphone footage from a friend of mine out west that was sent to me. He was filming the landscape and making funny "blinking eye" motions over the phone camera for comedic effects. He actually did not notice that he captured a video of a UFO until later when he was doing a slow motion effect to his footage. He told me he couldn't see the object at all at normal speed. The first object appears flying through the sky and slightly banking to its right extremely fast (even while in slow motion) and completely silent, the second one is barely visible but it appears shortly after the first one from the top right and continues to the top left, near the end of its flight path the footage returns to normal speed and if stepped forward you can see it start to ascend. I noticed that the second one sort of wobbles as it flies, like a balancing plate. We were both in the military together and agreed that as far as we knew, our aircraft technology hadn't gotten so good to be THAT fast AND SILENT at the same time. Originally we thought there was only one UFO in the film until somehow I spotted the second one. It's tough to spot and easy to miss.
