Gulfport, MS
Me and two of my friends were driving to another friends gone to attend a bachelorette party. On the way to the house right after we had turned down a secluded road surrounded by trees I saw a large triangle shaped aircraft flying in the sky just above the trees. I alerted my friends to the object and then we couldn’t see it for a second because of the angle from which we were driving and the trees because it was flying low right above the trees. After a few more seconds we were able to see it again and then my other two friends could see it. The object was flying low and slow paced almost as if it was flying at the same pace as the car we were in but it was big probably the size 2000 sq ft home if not bigger and there was no sound coming from it at all. There were what appeared to be three lights close together on the edge of the craft in the middle of the side we were looking at and appeared to be blinking lights on each corner of the side we were looking at. We watched it for about a minute as we continued to travel to the house right when we were making a turn to get to the house we could no longer see it. When we arrived we told the other people at the house of what we saw but they thought it was likely a military aircraft of some sort. But we knew it was definitely not a normal aircraft.

Looking Southwest toward the moon from Navy Landing on Lake Ouachita, my husband and I saw a bright white object moving North northeast in the sky. I began to video the object when my husband saw two other ones moving lower than the one on video moving in the opposite direction. I continued to video the initial object until I was turned 90 degrees from the start of the videoing. My husband had full view of the two objects moving in the opposite direction for about 5 seconds. We both had view of the videoed object for about 2 to 3 mins before it was out of sight. I have video and a photo of the longest sbeen object. Upon zooming in to the photo, more defined angles of shape of the object appearing to be the shape of a polygon.

Lakeport, CA
At around 9pm my boyfriend and I were sitting on the shore of the lake facing Mount Konocti, enjoying my boyfriend's birthday evening. What I thought was the first star to appear that night seemed odd to me, my boyfriend suspected it was just Mars. It sat next to the mountain for about an hour before I notice it start to have a large blue-violet bubble-like glow then drift slowly over Kekseyville, Ca. I noticed it was moving only because there was a bright white light, that I also thought was a star and am now suspecting it's a government aircraft, that was far below but directly under it. It was still in the same spot while the orange object was much farther away. It kept moving until I saw a plane fly closly past it, then the plane proceeded towards Cobb Mountain. Then the orange object seemed to stay in the same spot. The white object that was also by the mountain then started flying away towards Cobb Mountain like the plane did. I saw a helicopter and a drone pass by, I didn't see what happened after because I had the urge to go home.

Lake Wylie, SC
Three reddish lights, one after the other, climbing from low to high in the south-southeast part of the sky, headed west, followed shortly by a fourth one. No sound. No shape. We were on a boat on the lake. There was also an airplane that went by in another part of the sky which was bright and noisy, which made the silence of the UFOs more obvious. One witness says he watched the fourth UFO for a while and saw the reddish light go off, leaving just a rounded dark object with no visible wings. He says the UFOs were coming from the direction of the nuclear plant. It was not quite full dark yet. They were moving too fast to be balloons. Possibly helicopters or drones but very quiet.

Owens Cross Roads, AL
We first observed a bright, white light that seemed to be rapidly traveling from the south to a northeasterly direction in the eastern sky. It then dropped below the tree line after several minutes. The second sighting we observed was a few minutes later in the western sky. The second object was a massive bright, white light which looked to be an order of magnitude larger than Venus in the night sky. It remained stationary in the western sky for approximately 15 minutes before moving out of sight behind the mountain range. There was no sound, flickering or varying in intensity. The sky was clear with no clouds present.

Orange fireball, looked like it had a very tiny darker colored flame at one end. It moved slow & silent in the sky from east to west. It had just become dark out. Only one object seen. Myself & my partner of 20 years are seasonal campers at Bourne Scenic Park where object was observed, (he had never seen an object like that before, I have reported in the past seeing a similar object at the same place) we were the only ones at that section of the park (maybe 18 campsites) to have an outdoor fire going. I am a nurse & he is a retired ((title deleted)) @ Mass ((name of office deleted)). As we were watching it, we didn't even think of taking a cell phone picture of it, sorry (& stupid)!!! Note: the park is minutes from Otis Air orce Base.

Peoria, IL
I had just gotten home from a movie. It was still daylight. I got out of my car and saw it. Large, Bright White, glowing, long Cylinder. It was approaching my place above. It was as long as 6 C4 Transport planes put together. Height of it probably two tractor trailers (the part that stores stuff in) in height put together. It made no sound and extremely slow. It was maybe 20 stories above the ground maybe less or maybe the length of a football field up above me. I watched it clear in an opening in the trees and once it cleared the opening was gone.

Peoria, IL
I had just come home from a movie. I literally got out of my vehicle and looked up and there it was. I would say it was the size of 6 C4 Transport planes side by side. It was almost dusk but still light out. It was glowing white super bright. It moved very slow over my place. It was big and long, too. Then slowly it left and was gone like disappeared. I would say it was about 1 or 2 football fields in height above me or maybe 20 stories to 40 stories above me. I clearly make out the color, dimensions. No sound at all whatsoever. Unfortunately, I didn't get the opportunity to record my phone was shut off. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Manchester, NH
I saw a single object. At the start of the occurrence the object at first appeared to be a distant jet liner. But it produced no contrail and its motion seemed slower than that of a typical airliner cruising at altitude. Furthermore the object "flickered". Whether this was due to light emitting apparatuses or protrusions reflecting sunlight off of them is not clear. It's size and distance was impossible to determine. It did appear to me to be high up in the sky and distant. The object appeared to be solid as it was dark against the sky when it was not flickering. The color of the flickering light was white in hue and the period between flashes was rapid in frequency. There may have been two points of light as the object flickered but I could be mistaken in the recollection. There was no sounds coming from the object all through out the entire time I witnessed it. The path object traveled was from southeast to northwest. The object's path took it across Moon which was approximately 40 degrees above the horizon at the time. In fact, as I recall, I first caught sight of the object as it as slightly below the Moon's position in the SE sky. When the object moved over head and passed my vantage point, the object appeared to slow almost to a halt and remained in that position for about a minute before it seemed to vanish. The estimated elapsed time from when I first spotted the object till when it vanished was under three minutes. I was riding a bicycle at when I first spotted the object, but I dismounted and walked along the street and pausing frequently to observe the object. I was traveling south and traversed a distance of a block and a half through the entire duration of the occurrence. I do wear glasses to correct distance vision. I had them on through the entire time. I was in a residential neighborhood however there was nothing obscuring the object all throughout the entire time it was observed. It was mostly clear skies at the time and sunny. There were no clouds in the part of the sky the object traveled through. The wind at the ground level was southeasterly a little over 10 mph I'd estimate. It was warm at the surface; over 85 degrees F. No other aircraft was operating in the sky at the time the object was visible as best I can recall.

This object was observed for 15 minutes by myself, my wife and a family friend. The object was very high in altitude when compared to aircraft flying overhead (compared to transient aircraft at high altitude, NOT compared to local aircraft on approach/departure from BDL approx 10 SSW of our location. The object was first observed by myself almost due north of us, and pointed out to my wife and friend. The object appeared to be spherical in shape however due to the brightness of the object no true discernable outline was visible. The weather was hot and humid with slight haze. The object was only visible while wearing sunglasses, with sunglasses off the object was unable to be seen. It was however, bright and had an almost mirror like shine to it. It did not appear to be moving at all in reference to nearby inanimate structures. There were 60 to 70 foot trees approximately 100 yards in front of us, the object was roughly three hand widths above the tree line. The intensity of the light did not fade or increase throughout the sighting. We were actually in an amusement park ride line when it was spotted. After completing the ride we were unable to find the object again. About the closest thing I could compare this to would be viewing a planet such as Venus at dusk, again however it was mid-day. Unfortunately due to the fact we were at an amusement/water park, none of us had our cell phones on us.

Las Vegas, NV
Witnessed a bright orange or red light at around 3:51AM. I was walking east on Washington and noticed a bright light above the homes and treeline facing almost north east. The light appeared to be a light flare but the duration was too long and steady to be one. The event lasted about 10 seconds. No sound or pulsating lights occurred. Never seen such an object in the skies before. I was able to record the phenomenon and it can be clearly seen on video. I was able to catch the object disappear on video as well. The object never moved, it stood steady and bright and just went out like a lamp in the sky.

Shelton, WA
The witnesses were both young adults. We were walking to a nearby park at around 1:00 a.m. when we saw a bright green fireball fly across the sky maybe 30 feet above the trees. When it flew across the sky it shot red triangle shaped things backwards at about 45 degrees of the direction it was fly. The triangles went about 5 feet from the flying object before vanishing. The triangles were shot off both sides of the flying object. It took the flying object about 5 seconds to fly out of sight. Both witnesses looked at each other in confusion and believed no one would take us seriously if we talked about it.

At 22:20, 07.19.2018 a friend and I were standing in my front yard, when I looked up and saw a single red glowing orb traversing the sky in a NNE direction. It appeared maybe to be at 2,000 to 3,000 feet up, moving at 100 to 150 mph. We watched this go straight for several minutes until it faded out of view. It changed direction slightly with a right/left turn, but continued on in its original direction. As we were discussing what we had seen, another red orb appeared 11 minutes later. This one was much higher (30,000 to 40,000 feet) and going much faster, twice as fast as a high-altitude airliner, and going in an ENE direction. Again, we watched this until it faded from view over the horizon. They didn't appear to HAVE lights on them...they WERE their own lights, glowing.

Marfa, TX
Witnessed two silent and large craft fly over the Marfa lights veiwing area east of Marfa, TX. The craft each had three white non-blinking lights at the tip of an equilateral triangle with a blinking red light in the center. They flew over from north to south. They maneuvered towards the south and then began to follow each other close to the horizon at a high rate of speed going east. I have video and screenshots of one of the craft. I checked an ap on my iPhone X that indicated there were no commercial aircraft in the vicinity that would have been visible during the sighting. There is a strong possibility that this was some kind of advanced military aircraft. That being said, it met the classic description of the widely seen and reported black triangle UFO.

2 light objects seen in the southern sky from our position. First object the size of larger star traveling west to east. Second object half the size of first traveling same direction and velocity directly behind the first object approx. 2 index finger width. Traveled simultaneous in sync for approx. 15 seconds. A third object appeard in eastern sky for a split second emitting a extremely bright flash. The 2 traveling objects then disappeared. Sky is clear. No visual impairments.

Large steadt bright light object (the size of a close planet) travled from south to north directly over head. The object traveled from south horizon to north horizon in less then 30 seconds. Too low for a satellite. Sky is clear. No visual impairments. Object disappeared near north horizon and did not reappear.

I saw a fireball shaped craft hovering and making zig zag patterns in the sky. It had a smaller orb circling it like it was orbiting around the craft. It turned completely black like it was cloaking itself. Another black craft met with it and they sped off into the mountains.

While on an evening walk, I observed, what I initially thought; was an aircraft approaching from the west, with its landing-lights on. It appeared to be gradually descending, at an altitude of approx. 5,000-7,000 ft, AGL. I found this odd, since there are no airports, in this immediate area. As it came closer, I noticed that had approx. 4-5 non-strobing white-lights, placed at roughly equal distances, along the leading-edge of each wing. It had no stobing lights, or red and green wing-tip lights, as typical aircraft do. Then, it gradually turned north, allowing me to get a side-view of the craft, against a clear, sun-setting sky, at dusk. I saw no tail, or fuselage. It appeared to be a "flying-swept-wing",approx. the wingspan of a Boeing 737, with a boomerang-shape, moving at approx. the same speed, as civilian prop-driven aircraft, that is typically seen, at that altitude. As it moved away from me, to the north, I noticed a circular- cluster of s! tationary white lights, in the middle of the rear of the object. I could hear no engine noise, as it departed my sight, over a mountain. Also, I am a subscriber to an online flight-tracking service. I immediately checked that website, on my phone, and it showed NO air-traffic, anywhere near that area. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

After a storm blew through after three NOAA WARNINGS a Thunderstrom blew through with wind gust to 80 MPH ! I thought there May have been a tornado on ground for about 25 min and it moved on as well as the power went off! Been without power since about 5 pm, me and room mate went out side to catch cooler air! I happen to look up out to the south and saw a bright light no navigation lights, no anti collision light moving NE (Me) Retired USAF/US Navy Vet. USAF Crash Fire Fighter/US Naval Aaviation! Then notice two other dimly lit objects smaller in size following the larger and could have been at different altitude and the same no nav light and no collision lights which are required! The speed was slow , no noise all three headed North East ??????? We did see a couple of normal aircrft with collision lights on and Nav lights! ( Note) The object came from the direction of the old Forbes AFB now Forbes Field Air National Guard KC-135s! During last summer I have also heard Jet Eng noise fly over but could not see a aircaft during day light not far from the base! We both saw them so either a secret air craft or a UFO as in TR3B ! Anybody else see it in the TOPEKA, Kansas or No. Kansas City Kansas /MO after the storm ????

Boise, ID
July 19, 2018, Footage of unidentified anomaly in the sky, visible for over 4 hours. From about 5:30 to 9:30pm in broad daylight to after sunset. Viewed from multiple locations several miles apart. Watched it for about 3 hours (could see it while driving at freeway speeds, and our perspective to it made it appear quite far/high) before we could get to our cameras, then filmed and photographed for about 30 min at one location, moved to another location with a high viewpoint and was still visible for about 15 minutes. We pointed it out to several people and nearly 12-15 saw it as well. Its apparent path was west mostly against wind direction from 320 at 13mph at the time. It also didn't appear to follow the rotation of the earth thus the sun's path. Appeared to hold altitude as the sun was setting, and its diameter appeared to decrease significantly from initial sighting to last sight. I was able to borrow some small low magnification binoculars and look at it after about the first hour of observing it. At any rate, the video certainly speaks for its motion shape and look. I included some comparison photos of the Moon, Jupiter, and a distant aircraft taken with the same lens and camera. We discovered another video posted from eastern Idaho of what was clearly the same object, can provide a link. Here is the link to the video we made. https://youtu.be/S-UKYgoZbxo

Foley, AL
While walking my dog, I always watch the sky when I hear a jet as we live so close to Pensacola NAS to see if the Blue Angels are around. I did not see any in the area, but an extremely high object caught my eye. I can't be positive of the shape due to the height it was flying but it traveled approximately 1 foot in sight then slowed to almost a stop, did a 360 degree turn (in a space about the size of my fingernail) and took off at approximately 3x the speed it was traveling and disappeared into the clouds. The object was heading West to East and finally headed Southwest. I have never seen any jet perform a 360 degree turn in this small of space and at that height. Object was white in color and the weather was sunny with feathery clouds. If I had to guess at the height, I would say it was 40,000 to 50,000 feet.
