Reno, NV
On July 28, 2018 South Reno: I was in my back yard and I looked up in the sky. About 30,000 feet I saw two spheres flying in formation easily the size of a jumbo jet in diameter. They were flying in formation at an incredible speed coming from the north by north west on a southern trajectory. They were gone in less than 7-8 seconds. I also saw in the north an airline aircraft going west to east. I calculated the airliner was going in the area of 475-500 m.p.h. I used that rough calculation to estimate the speed of the spheres at 4-5 times the speed of the airliner. They looked very much like large pearls. They made no noise.

Hood River, OR
We saw two large, long, white objects flying formation from west to east over the Columbia River Gorge. They didn’t appear to have wings - they were just very long. We are a military family and are familiar with aircraft. These objects were two large to be any aircraft we know of - especially at the height they were at. Commercial aircraft don’t fly formation. The two objects appeared to stop twice mid air. After the second stop the two objects appeared to merge then slowly moved sideways blending into the thunder clouds to the north of the river - disappearing from sight. Both myself and my passenger looked at each other and wanted to know if the other saw what just happened.

Valparaiso, IN
While walking south with my dog in the front of my property, I saw what I thought was a very close and very bright view of Orion's belt, within seconds the three star vertical formation looked as if it were pulsing/blinking and fading/dimming out and moving downward. At first I thought it was covered by a cloud, but it was a clear sky it that direction, with some visible clouds above me. The sky was very still, with no wind. I continued to watch the area for several minutes and they never reappeared. The formation did not make my dog react, as it was in the distance.

I looked out the window toward the east, toward the Boise foothills, there were two glittery white lights doing a zigzag pattern in the sky. They were very high up and moving fast. I kept watching them and they started to get lower in the sky. As they came down they were large, maybe 20 feet around and moved off toward the foothills to the east, they finally disappeared. I kept watching for them to come back when a large cigar shaped ship appeared near the same foothills going west to east, the ship was long, maybe 20 feet around and glittery white. I watched it for about one minute and it vanished out over the foothills. I thought I would look out the bedroom window that faces south and saw two pale orange lights above a tree in our neighbors backyard close to our fence. These lights were about 12" in diameter and 20 to 25 feet high and going in and out of the heavily leafed trees. These lights each had two pale white beams of light, and it looked like they were searching for something. I quietly opened the window and there was no noise from these lights/small ships at all, they were totally quiet. I started to close the window and the lights froze, like I had been spotted.This scared me a little, so after closing the window and blinds, I opened one single blind just a little to watch them, and they had started moving again, with no sound whatsoever. Then the light vanished into the trees.

Lebanon, OR
After its slow approach in my general frontal view from east to west, it seemed to almost come to a stop and then began a descent towards the ground in an angled or arched movement however, but not in a straight downward descent. At that point, I lost sight of it as it descended down below thebroof/tree/horizon lin! e that was out in of me in the near distance. In summation, I believe that this was not a typical aircraft (small prop plan or helicopter) and that it was under some sort of intelligent control.

Southington, CT
I was leaving my house to grab my phone from my car when I looked in the sky and saw a bunch of flashing lights in the sky. I passed behind some trees so I assumed it was just a low fling plane, but as I looked closer, it had moved an extreme amount of distance. At this time I went to take a picture wen it began to fade. However just as it was about to dissapear from sight it made a bright likght the vanished.

Apollo, PA
I was at a star gazing party at my local park, and as I was looking up at the stars and planets, I saw a cone shaped craft flying through the sky. It was striped. The colors where bright orange and silver. It did NOT burn up like a shooting star, it was moving in a straight direction. After 6 or 7 minutes it spun around a few times then vanished into thin air.
July 27, 2018 · 8:35 PM · FIREBALL
Milton, FL
Observed two fireball appearing objects coming from the south and headed north. There was one following the other, less than 1/4 mile apart. They both turned towards the East, gaining altitude and disappeared. They made no sound, and there were no port or starboard running lights or strobes. There was no visible airframe. Just two pulsating orange lights of equal intensity. There was no hovering or bobbling. They did not match any descriptions of anything I have ever seen in the sky before. The altitude was less than the helicopters that fly around from the close by Navy flight school, but higher than I have seen drones. They did not look like Chinese lanterns or flares. I saw exactly the same thing two years ago when I was living in another state. I did not have my phone on me at the time. I tried to get my son to come outside, but he did not hear me calling him and ringing the doorbell.

Beatrice, NE
After it flashed there was a small dark floating dissipating black cloud. I believe my passenger saw it too, yet didn't say anything either. Meteorites don't leave a dissipating "puff-cloud" of black smoke.

It then suddenly veered sideways to the left. Then it hovered. Then changed direction to travel strait again. It flew out of my field of view, a building was blocking it. Then it came back into my view. It did a number of forward movements and stopped. Then flew out of my view again. Witness provides no contact information. PD

New Russia Township, OH
On July 27, 2018, I was working in a small city in northern Ohio. At approximately 5 AM, I was parked in a lot facing south and observed 5 lights in the southern sky in a perfect line, with a noticeable gap in between them. The lights appeared white with the top light brighter than the ones below it. It appeared the lights were at a very high altitude and they did not blink or flicker as aircraft lights do. I observed the lights for approximately a minute before they disappeared one at a time in order from the bottom light to the top light. It did not appear that the lights were moving prior to disappearing. I also did not observe any sounds or other disturbances during this event. During this incident I contacted another individual that was working in the area and advised him to look into the southern sky where he also observed the lights.

St. George Island, FL
Second night in a row, but much different objects this time. We were looking in a southeasterly direction to Mars. Then about our 11o’clock position there faded in what appeared to be a very large semi-circular craft that was light by four extremely large amber glowing lights. The lights emanated from the one craft along the edge of it, and it was quite large. The ambient light seemed to sort of show a much larger depth to the craft. The dark part was in the shadow of the light, but it was darker than the sky. It felt like if the entire craft was illuminated that it would be absolutely massive. Then it faded out, but the strange thing was, even though it was faded out, it felt like it was still there. My twin 17 year old daughters and I held our breath during the event. And even though this subject matter is extremely intriguing to me, something about this, for a millisecond it felt ominous. The next lights we saw, a few minutes later, were chevron shaped facing southwest. It had multiple red lights forward, and it seem to be emitting, or dropping glowing gold orbs that did not make it to the water. Again it was about 30-40 degrees up from our horizon. This sighting was more complex and sort of ominous than the previous night. Different clusters of lights and crafts. We are vacationing here on the island for another week and I intend to be watching the skies from our back deck every night. I am a 54 year old woman, my husband is 59 and my twin daughters will be 18 y are old next week. I grew up in San Diego, where my father was an aero-space engineer. So. I’ve always had an affinity for aeronautics, space travel, and the strong possibility of other lifeforms in the universe and galaxies beyond. These are the only incidents I have ever been lucky enough to witness.

Hamilton, MT
I was about 19 or 20 when this happened so it was about five years ago, so around 2018. Me and two of my friends were hiking up softrock in Hamilton MT and we looked up and noticed a cigar (long oval) shaped craft with an shiny reflective chrome like exterior. I and I'm assuming my friends immediately got an interview overwhelming sense of anxiety and dread I shook it off and immediately began trying to wave it down my friend at the time said my name and motioned me to stop I disregarded him and continued trying to signal it. I started trying to talk to it by projecting my thoughts projecting images and asking it to take me off of this rock. It started zipping around the sky about halfway through me attempting this leaving behind trails of bright redish orange and yellow we stayed there and watched it for about an hour before we decided to leave. My friends dropped me off at my house Wich at the time was in the middle of town(south 8th st Hamilton MT) I moseyed around the house for probably 30 minutes before I let my dog out and looked up and there it was dancing around in the sky I waved again and it changed it's pattern seemingly acknowledging my wave. I gave it a bow and went back inside and was immediately overwhelmed by that familiar sense of anxiety of the unknown I attempted to calm myself eventually hyping myself up by saying this is what I asked for. I took a deep breath and stepped back outside to see if it finally left. It did not. I stepped back inside again and came to the understandable conclusion that tonight is going to be an all nighter... As soon as the thought crossed my mind I started feeling sick (like when you stand in front of a microwave for too long)but the fear was gone almost like they switched off my emotions. I lied down on my living room couch. As soon as I relaxed I was hit by a golden beam that covered myself the sofa and most of the surrounding floor and I felt a presence appear on either side of me, the fear returned and I tried a left hook on the being on that side of my person. As soon as I balled my fist and started swinging the beam intensified forcing my arms and legs into a fetal position then a second beam smaller beam struck my head I immediately started seeing red symbols on a black background, the symbols changed slowly at first picking up speed the more I tried to focus the more it hurt seemingly gaining momentum until finally it felt like they were trying to shove a text book into my skull. I've tried to write it off as a dream but I cannot because I it wasn't a dream and I'll never be able to forget that pain I felt it was almost non physical.. my apologies for the book I've written here but I needed to share it, I was scared to tell anyone about this mostly because it sounds crazy and fear of men in suits coming to get me but at this point my fear of never knowing what they have shown me far outweighs the fear of the government.

Lewistown, MD
On July 26, 2018 I was driving southbound on US15 in Maryland. Between Emmitsburg and Thurmont, Maryland, I observed a large slightly yellow object hovering in the southeastern sky just above the horizon line, but below the scattered clouds from 4:32AM-4:45AM. The object could have been a conventional aircraft flying towards me, however, there were no wing marking lights and the object never changed in scale or location. At 4:46AM, I realized object had disappeared. At that time, I was still southbound on US15, near the Powell Road intersection, near Lewistown, MD, and the clouds began to part. As the clouds parted, at the 1 o'clock position in the southern sky, I saw two small shining objects in extremely close position to each other emitting a blue-white light. One by one, four additional lights appeared in close proximity to one another. The lights illuminated one by one towards the horizon. When all six were illuminated, they formed a perfectly straight line at extremely high altitude. From my position, the objects were located approximately 14 inches above the horizon line, and the line they formed was approximately 1 1/2 inches long. There was no structure visible, only the light the objects emitted. The light did not twinkle, strobe, or otherwise alter in luminosity. The line they formed was at about a 100 degree angle relative to the horizon line. All objects maintained position. After about one minute, the objects faded one by one, in the reverse order that they appeared (disappearing low to high). No additional anomalies were observed.

I also saw what looked like a satellite leave said area of the sky toward the East. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Thank you director! I cannot be sure it was not an iridium flare, but picture of flares are rarely perfectly circular. This was a perfect circle, and in comparison to an average sized moon, id say this blast was about 10-20% of the diameter of the moon. The final logical idea I had was a perfectly aligned meteor that hit the atmosphere at a magic angle causing the circular explosion. Thank you for hearing and following up on my report!

I'm a friend of your nephew, that's how I learned about this site. I see these most nights. They are little yellow orbs that flash red usually. They appear from the East, hover over the Puget Sound and head north. They don't use a logical flight path. They often fade in and out even without a cloud in the sky. They aren't the color of stars and are very distinct from planes, helicopters or satellites. It usually starts with one and then 2 or 3 join in as they slowly make their way East. I've made some video, although the quality doesn't show as with the naked eye. I found one YouTube video of the same thing from this area but surprised they are hardly documented for how often they visit. Feel free to contact me for more information.

St. George Island, FL
We had checked the sky guide on our smartphone to identify Mars which was on our horizon. Our goal of the evening was to watch the ISS orbit at 22:30 over our area. My daughters excitedly called for me to come see something else in the sky. A circular, red object appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, and held its position for approximately 20-30 seconds then faded out of sight completely. One of my daughters actually had binoculars in hand and viewed it through that. It was an opaque red, with an orange-ish halo effect. We kept vigil on the deck and about ten minutes later two separate ones appeared with one about 15 to 20 degrees off the horizon, a little to the left of Mars, and then way off to the right there was another one simultaneous, and higher in the sky. Astonished, we waited and for the last sighting of the night, one red light appeared, while the other two appeared in apprimately the same area and degree of the first sighting. But what made this even more fascinating was that this last one actually started with one red light, then added another red light, and then another. For a total of three red lights seeming to be on one object, slightly angled. It reminded me of the lights coming on in the Phoenix lights case. Except this was much smaller, at least from our vantage point. And then all five lights in the sky vanished and that was the last we saw of the red lights. I am a ((deleted--fiftyish)) year old woman on vacation with my husband and my twin 17 year old daughters. We have been coming to this island for 12 summers in a row. The girls will celebrate their birthday on August 1st. Who is also my husband and my 20th anniversary. I have a B.A. in journalism and a post graduate teaching degree. I’m originally from San Diego and am well aware of military exercises and such. My father was an aero-space engineer who worked for Convair and Lockheed Martin, back in the 60’s and 70’s and was present for at least one of the Gemini space shots from Cape Canaveral. As I sit here writing on our back deck, we were absolutely astonishing led to see an Osprey perform a flyover our beach from southwest to northeast. And it didn’t look like he was over 500 feet. IT WAS AMAZING. But, that does not take away from the fact that what we saw last night was totally unidentifiable. I would also like to state that I AM a believer in the UFO community. There is just no way we can be the only lifeforms in this vast universe! We spoke with the source of this report, and we found her to be unusually eloquent and serious minded. We suspect that she is a very skilled, and reliable, witness. PD

My sister and I were sitting out on our porch, looking at the stars and waiting for the ISS to fly over, when I noticed 2 orange-red glowing orbs in the sky to the right of Mars. They glowed for just a few seconds and then faded out. We called our mom outside to come and watch for them to show up again. It was about 10-15 minutes later that they showed up again further to the left of where we had previously seen them. It was just 2 that time also. And after 5-10 more minutes, 3 of the orbs of light in a cluster and 2 single ones in separate areas appeared and faded out and then they came back in separate areas of the sky. The 3 lights that were together seemed as if it was part of one "craft." That was our last sighting of them and they seemed to be further out above the ocean than the first sightings. I was able to look at them two different times through binoculars and the objects looked about as big as Mars, but seemed to glow more rather than being solid form. It looked like the center was red with an orange glow around it. I honestly have never seen anything like this and have never really been a big believer in UFOs, but now I think I've changed my mind. When I first saw the lights appear, my mind didn't go to a drone, airplane, or anything of the sort. I couldn't think of anything that the lights could be. So, I know it has to be something other than normal aircraft.

Three lights in a triangle formation. Very ( very ) bright lights. They were far away, but each one would have been as bright as a stadium lit-up at night, and this was in broad daylight. They weren't connected, I could see some sky between them and they drifted apart a bit after just hovering motionlessly. I watched them for a while and then walked past a tree which blocked my view of them, when I looked again, they were gone, just vanished.

Wilsonville, OR
This may be nothing. But I wanted to report it to corroborate in case others report it also. I drive every morning from Newberg, Oregon, on Wilsonville Rd. to the I-5 on-ramp in Wilsonville. This is a country road about 12 or so miles with many curves and heavily forested. There are no sidewalks or safe places to walk. There are many houses off the road and usually the owners are the only people you'll ever see standing on the road waiting for cars to clear so they can cross and check their mailbox. Today, about a few hundred yards before the Ladd Hill Rd. stop sigh and intersection I saw two strange looking "people" walking east along the road towards Wilsonville, i.e. in the same direction I was going. Both were tall and thin enough to notice, in other words maybe 6'2" or 6'3". Both wearing black calf-length boots and brown close-fitting clothing with what appeared to be dark colored jackets. As I came up on them they seemed to be walking with a strange sort of gait. (I'm pretty sure this is not just my imagination) I was not driving fast but I seemed unable to get a good look at their heads (almost like they were blurred) and as I drove past them and looked in my rear view mirror they actually seemed to turn their heads so I could not get a look at their faces! This all seemed unusual to me. You just don't see people walking on that road, and if you ever do it's usually a "hippy kid" who is trying to get your attention, thumbing a ride, not avoiding you looking at them. Strange. Like I said, maybe nothing but it felt weird at the time. Weird enough that I'm taking a different route to work tomorrow.
