Almost stopping in mid-air then cruising southward. Low roar to start then 800 ft. later adding a deep low pitch whistle until out of sight. All silver. Just hundreds of yards away. It looked like a large 747 with bent wing tips accept it had almost stopped in mid flight. Then 3 hundred yards away it added a red color paint job on to its under-back tail section. Exact same time the frontal fuselage turned all white. Binoculars on it the whole way. I saw it change. The closest ever. GPS. Exactly Bellaire St. and Palm Beach Blvd. Added red and white. No longer silver. Sound, color and speed. All very unusually different on this one. Number 5 on the day out of 16,145 total. Update: 8/1/2018 16,163 total. All MIMICS. 95% silent. We have requested more information from the source of the report. Please see the second report from the same witness PD

Went to bring dogs in and dogs were looking up, I heard something hovering. it went away in a distance..and came back, so I called my son down and he heard it also.. It went away like you would hear an airplane in the distance. The sound sounded like a big fan...that wasn't loud to make your ears hurt????!!! It came back but sound high then went away.

I was waiting for my wife and I decided to get some pics of the old City Methodist Church. i did not see the object until i decided to use the video camera on my phone, which is an lg k7. when i looked at the phone at the object it was hovering and appeared to be spinning at about the height of the churches roof. It then moved to the left a few feet then to the right, and made a very fast circular motion. it then dipped down below my line of sight for a couple of seconds. It then came back up still spinning, I think thats when I moved to get in a better position to record what i was seeing, and that's when i lost sight of the object. the wind was blowing pretty hard that day and my first thought was that i was looking at a floating black plastic bag. and it may have been just that, i leave it up to you to decide. i felt very excited and amazed at what i was seeing at the time of the sighting and after. I have to emphasize that I could only see this object when I looked at i! t in the cameras display screen. The object look as if it changes its shape a couple of times. It kind of looked like to grey triangles attached side by side, and then back into a cylinder shape laying horizontally. That is why I can't say that it was only one shape. I have also submitted a report to MUFON (CASE#93958).

In the early morning of July 30th, at around 0320, as I laid down in bed, I noticed a particularly bright star in the Southern sky, to the right and lower than the moon, but thought nothing of it, besides how bright and pretty it was. However, when I took off my glasses, laid my head on my pillow, and opened my eyes to look towards it once more, the entire area was no longer a star, it contained a kaleidoscope of numbers, letters, and symbols I couldn't identify or make sense of. To check if it was my vision, I'd close one eye at a time and look with the other, but each eye still saw the same thing independently. It was completely bizarre. Then I grabbed my glasses to look at it, but through my glasses it only looked like a star. I took my glasses off again and back were the numbers, letters, and symbols. I did this repeatedly over and over until I finally woke my husband up because I couldn't fall asleep wondering what I was watching! He was too tired to get up and look, but I got out of bed, picked up my cell phone, and started to record at 0338. The first recording was only about 3 minutes in length and was just testing to see if the star would show up, which it did. I also panned from the moon to the street lights and then to the star to try for an estimation of distance. We live in a house in a suburb and have a clear view of the night sky. I zoomed in as much as my cell phone allowed. For the second recording, about double the length of time, starting at 0343, I placed my elbows on my dresser to steady the cell phone. It took me several seconds to steady myself and to find the star again. Unfortunately, just like when I had my glasses on, the recording did not show any kaleidoscope of letters, numbers, or symbols, which I only saw without my glasses. After I stopped the second recording, the “star” was still doing the same thing. At that point, I assumed it might just go on like that all night, and I was just! too tired to keep watching, so I had to go to bed. In watchi! ng the r ecording, the next day, I was able to enlarge the video further by using my pointer finger and thumb on my phone’s screen. It was amazing to see how fast it was and the random patterns and shapes. I’ve never seen something like this; it was intriguing, but it also made me a bit uneasy. I didn’t want to report it because I’m sure it sounds crazy, but I can assure you that I am not crazy. When my husband also saw the recording the next day, he had no idea how to explain it, and subsequently the two other people I’ve told are clueless as to an explanation as well. I will look on your website to find out how to upload the recordings. Did anyone else see this in my area? Has anyone had a similar experience seeing a kaleidoscope of letters, numbers, or symbols? Any help from anyone would be very appreciated. Thank you!

Approximately 11pm, my wife and i saw saw a strange colored orange light in the sky. We live 5 min from point state park at the mouth of the three rivers. The object flew at a height of maybe 10k feet silently. As it came more directly overhead it appeared to be a fireball....next the object began to ascend rapidly, at what appeared to be a direct line staright up like a rocket until it faded from view.

I have been taking pictures of the planets, due to the fact most of them are visible this month, for 4 days I have seen this objects flying back, & forth, but never going out of sight like airplanes usually do, I didn't pay much attention until today that I tried taking a picture of the objects using the flash,at the 3 flash 2 of the objects completely stopped in mid air high above my home, the sound they make is soft almost like the old squared fans, i had my binoculars on me, so I quickly used them to try to identify the objects above, they looked like a diamond with a bullet shaped piece on each side, sometime the sides have a plain white light, & change into one red & one green light that blink making it look like an airplane, but as it starts descending lower clearly visible it's not a plane, but an unfamiliar oobject, when I looked for the other 2 objects I spotted the 3rd one coming from were Jupiter was at that time, but there was a smaller object! beneath it with very dim lights hardly visible, it looked like an individual flying down with a jet pack with a fan like propeller on each side, it got so close as like a mile high, & a block away from me, but it was coming directly my way, at that point I freaked out & ran inside locked all my doors, & turned of most of my lights, but as I keep peeking through the window they are still up there now.

The lights would dim and then brighten ever so slightly but remained in the same place for close to 30 minutes as we observed waiting for it to move. It did not.

A little after 8 PM, I looked up at the sky from my backyard and saw a tiny round white object high overhead, looking like a little moon with dark markings I could not make out. I grabbed my binoculars for a better look (7x50) and still had difficulty seeing what it was, but it appeared that the dark markings were squared off, and the object had a circle of tiny lights. I went to the garage to get out my small telescope, but the object by this time was coming in and out of clouds, however, I could see that it was moving eastward, from high overhead toward the eastern horizon. The sky was still very light. Now (8:40 PM MDT) clouds have obscured the sky, but I have no idea what this object was.

While mowing the grass, I took notice of an object moving in the partly cloudy sky. The object reminded me of a glider with a very high aspect wing ratio (I would estimate about 25:1), and was a dull gray metallic color. What I could not discern was any sign of engines, propellers, fuselage, or tail. It was almost like a thick line, but slightly swept. It was moving slowly from south to north. I observed the object for approximately 10 seconds before it went out of view behind some trees. It was only faintly visible due to its color, but my polarized sunglasses helped me see it better. I could not tell its altitude, but it was below the high cirrus clouds, which I estimated to be 20,000 ft based on local air traffic, but above the lower, puffy cumulus clouds. I tried and tried to see any other features, but there were none. If it was a glider (I have seen plenty of those) or even a predator drone (we live near the Redstone Arsenal), its fuselage would have been visible, but was not. Based on my observation, I would place the wing span somewhere around 300 ft, tip to tip. I have attached a rendering of the object I saw to a separate email. Witness shares a high-quality computer-generated illustration of what he witnessed. PD

About 10 minutes later I looked up to see that the lights were closer than before when I left the house as well as higher in the sky. When I started to look at the lights I noticed that there were 3 lights in a triangular shape at the bottom of base I guess you could call it, with another single light at the top.. I then noticed that there was a weird shape sort of like a pyramid and that the lights were part of an object and not separate lights. I can't really determine the size but it was flying lower than an airplane and was still about the size of my thumb if I held it out in front of me. There weren't any distinguishable colors of the shape other than a sort of hazy looking transparency. The lights were orangish yellow. But I looked at the object for maybe 10 minutes until it got too far me to see. The direction it was going was straight up when it got out of sight. That is all I can recall and it's pretty exact on what happened.

It was about 08:00 on July 29, 2018 when I took my dog for a walk in a produce field that is next to my residence. When I walked to the trail, I passed railroad tracks that bridged a drainage ditch. There I seen and balloon like shape raise from a tree that lined the trail and drainage ditch. As I walked I noticed that the balloon was hovering and warping. I watch for 5 to 10 minutes, before I realized that it wasn't a balloon, and pulled out my cellphone to video tape the object. As I video taped I voiced what was happening. I followed the hovering object from the produce field, across the ditch then back to the field. The object hovered up and down while mutating. The object hovered straight over me for 5 minutes as it hovered to the field from the ditch. At that point my cellphone wouldnt let me take pictures or video anymore. After 5 or 10 minutes then I could film my 2nd video. I kept watching while the object enter the middle of the field, when my dog bumped me and I look away and look back then the object was gone. The incident happened for 30 to 40 minutes. The night before in the early morning there was a power surge on the street and my house was to be left out for 15 minutes longer. After the incident i couldn't use my debit card, it was demagnetized at the meat market down the street.

Balsam Lake, WI
We were sitting on the dock at a cabin on the Western side and Southern end of Half Moon Lake. Across the lake, above the tree line and under the moon, we saw an orange ball rise at the speed of a drone. We thought it was a drone, until it went higher than any drone could fly. It was about 1/4 the size of the full moon when it rose, much larger than any starts or aircrafts we could see in the sky. When it rose to the height of an airplane, it moved across the sky to the Southern side of the lake. It stopped moving or slowed down significantly for at least 7 seconds. It then suddenly and very rapidly moved East towards Mars (which was visible to us and looked like a very bright star). It moved as if it was shooting off. It then disappeared as if the light had just gone out.

On July 28th, 2018, my son and I were sitting on my back porch talking. I happened to look up at the sky and I noticed a fast moving, bright object moving quickly across the sky. The object was round and very bright. It did not have any blinking lights on it, like planes do. The object was moving from the SW to the SE. My son who is an adult also saw the object. The sky was fairly clear except for a few big puffy clouds. We could see very well as there was a full moon. When the object came very close to this one cloud there was a bright flash of light as it appeared to enter the cloud. It appeared to almost spark. We never saw it exit the cloud and then the oddest part was the cloud that it entered totally disappeared. It took probably less than 3 mins for this cloud to evaporate, we could see it disappearing. The other clouds that were in the sky stayed the same. There was not any wind or storms in the area when this happened. The other odd thing was several dogs started barking very loudly when this was happening.

Horseshoe Bend, ID
While relaxing after paragliding at Horseshoe Bend Flight Park we were in a circle sitting and chatting while enjoying the the night. This is culmination of initial witnesses, and later witnesses. The first 2 people were looking up at the stars and see a small but bright light (approx 1/4 the brightness of the moon) very high in the atmosphere. It was reported to be "weaving" slowly through the sky. It extended a short beam of light out and would then trace this line to its next location. These motions were small and no more than 1 degree across the night sky. At this time me and the other 6 people looked up to observe the object. The beam turned off but continued to pulse brightly while making a slow right turn from south to the west. Pulsing about 4 times more before it disappeared. About the time we became vocal about what we were witnessing it disappeared. I am very familiar with drones, the ISS, aircraft, satellites as well as any other objects and how they look in the night sky. I am also well versed in astronomy. This was absolutely unusual. What it is, I have no idea but it was nothing close to anything I have ever seen.

Nebraska City, NE
At approximately 11:10 on Satuday, July 28th, lights were seen coming out of the north northeast and disappearing into the southern sky. Lights were light green in color and not well defined. No noise at all was heard on a very quiet night. Four lights in total were observed. All sightings lasted 10 seconds from first observance. Second two traveled in perfect tandem; side by side at first, and switched position to top to bottom before disappearing from sight. Distance between the two lights never changed. Fourth green light behaved the same as the first. There were approximately 30 seconds between sightings. To our knowledge, all activity ceased by 11:15.

The lights also seemed to go far higher very quickly. Witness 1 wondered why no one at the Fair seemed to be looking up. Witness 2 asked someone at the Fair about these lights and that person reported to Witness 2 that he saw them, and didn’t know what they were. They were completely gone for about 10 minutes and all of them came back in a similar linear/rectagonal form and then moved and then each one disappeared, except one of them. Witness 1 had to urinate and was searching for a portapotty, but first saw a row of about 4 truck cabs that were parked at the Fair and was thinking of urinating there, but looked up and sure enough there was 1 amber light moving slowly towards the trucks high up. Witness 1 decided it was not the best idea to urinate there and before he/she found a portapotty, the light completely disappeared. The motion was not like any type motion that Witness 1 ever saw before. Witness 2 was not very impressed at the sighting. “Even if this were aliens, so what,” she/he said. Witness 1 was very impressed at the sighting but both witnesses are rather concerned that there was no one they felt they could make this report to. That is the entirety of the report. By 22:00 H there seemed no chance these objects would! return. Both witnesses walked home. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
