Heard booming sounds like thunder, but rapid; nearly constant. Witnessed 1 flash of light to the west. Watched sky after it ended. Fast moving light shot by going in direction of the booms. Flying about airplane height, but VERY fast.

After watching for a while, we saw that it moved jerkily in a closed pattern, not a circle, but going all the way around. After watching a while longer, we went to our apartment at Riderwood Village, turned off the lights and saw it through the window. I am a physicist so I know it was not a satellite (because of the jerky motion) and not a star (same reason), so the question is "what is it?".

Fort Collins, CO
My wife and I were on a walk on the evening of 7/11/18 at 8:15-8:45 when my wife noticed a round, extremely bright white object hovering at approximately 30-40 degrees above the northern horizon of Fort Collins, CO. It was brighter than any star/planet that appears at that time of day. It moved extremely slowly, if at all, during our observation, which lasted approx. 15 minutes. The surface appeared to be reflecting the sun's light but was not giving off any light of its own. The object did not blink or twinkle. The object was also observed by family members that live 9 miles north of Ft. Collins.

At least 2 airliners and the helicopter had passed by at different altitudes and times which gave me the perspective of great distant. I also went and got my roommate and she brought her binoculars out and saw it too. Since that day...I went outside at the same time Thursday, Friday and tonight to see if maybe this was a star. It was not! No object was in sight since then. I wish I could have taken a picture. My phone camera could not pic up the object.

We traveled south about 30 miles and by 9pm it was directly above us. The local news agency, ktvz, told me that they saw it in one of their weather cams but had no idea what it was. A few other people reported it to ktvz as well.

This was broad daylight, my brother and I are sitting in the yard rigging up our fishing poles when we see a military commercial style plane flying from West to East we assume heading for Spokane. We were instantly " freaked out" by what we saw. Understand, this is a normal plane in a normal flight path... and right underneath the tail we see an object very close to the plane kinda dancing around for want of a better term. This object was a dark color, no lights no sound other than the plane and approx. 1/6 the size of the plane. As we watched the object flew around the tail and was now above the tail with that same weird undulating motion. A moment later this object flew directly in front of the plane extremely close to the nose. We were thinking we were gonna see a crash--very scary thing to see. I ran upstairs to get the binoculars that any other time would be where I looked...of course they weren't there. In the time it took me to race back downstairs, I could still see this object in front of the plane headed East. Either we were seeing some new drone tech being controlled by that plane or we were seeing the definition of a U.F.O. There is no way the people on that plane were not aware of this object in either case- if this thing could sweat....the drops would have hit the plane, that's how close it was. Very unusual and disturbing.

We saw what looked like circular shimmering lights of various colors all around the beach area. They where NOT drowns. No drinking or drugs where involved and i did manage to get them on my cell but the video would have to be blown up in size. Educated here and not crazy. I do not know how long they lasted because we ended up going to bed at about 11 pm.

My newspaper was contacted via Facebook that people were seeing a white object hovering over the town for the last hour. My editors told me about it when I came in to work about an hour later (so other witnesses had been watching the one object for two hours before I headed to their location). Upon arriving at the scene I began talking to the witnesses and they pointed out the object to me. I began taking photos of the object with my camera equipped with a 300mm lens (the object was so high up it looks like a white semi-translucent dot) when we noticed another similar object appear. The two objects appeared to merge before moving apart from each other and eventually the second object either disappeared, or we lost track of it. A few minutes later we saw another, lower object. I began taking photos of that object as well. I quickly looked at the images I had taken and my first thought was it was a plastic bag flying through the air. The object was again a white, semi-translucent object that seemed to be changing its shape. But as myself and multiple other witnesses watched, we saw this object traverse a distance of around 10 miles in the span of a minute’s time. While watching I had called another friend of mine who happened to be working in the area that the object took off in. He was literally right under the object when we were talking. He found it with binoculars and watch as the object climbed up to about 10,000 feet in the air before vanished before our eyes. Around this time, the original object vanished, too. ( We spoke with the source of the report. He stated that he had managed to photograph the object, but that he could not share the photo because his employer owned the photo. Apparently, the newspaper the photographer works for does not want to publish an article about the event. PD))

It was around 2:00 AM- 2:30 AM on July 11, 2018 in Grand Rapids, we were driving home from a get together in the Rockford area, we got lost and took a common road home called 52nd Street and as we were driving in the countryside, I look to my right in the passenger seat and I see about 100 feet to 150 feet away from me a large Manta-Ray shaped object frozen in the air on a 45 degree slant, the front of the object was white colored and had a ring surrounding the aircraft that had a green light circling through the ring, I began to naturally freak out as we drive past this large aircraft. As we continued driving, the bottom of the aircraft was exposed with these bright white lights formed in this symmetrical pyramid pattern with about 7 large lights, instantly I tried to debunk the situation using the laws of physics but the object appeared frozen in time over this grassy area, an by that time I knew that this object is way too technologically advanced to be developed by the government, it was like it was using a Anti-Gravity mechanism that allowed to sit perfectly frozen in mid air on this 45 degree slant, I thought I was possibly hallucinating the whole situation but after calming down and rubbing my eyes and reopening them, the object was still in the same perfect 45 degree slant in midair, I wouldn’t be reporting this if I didn’t see this object so close, I’ve seen videos and documentaries about these sightings but there was never one photo or video showing a object this close to human activity.

Came out to my back patio and looked up at the stars as I often do because I live in the country. I saw a bright red orb traveling west to east, went back inside to get my binoculars and when I came back out it was gone. It must have picked up speed greatly. Because during the 5-10 seconds I was observing it the speed was constant. It took me probably 5 seconds to get my binoculars off the keyrack and I have a wide view range of the sky it is a clear night, so it must have increased its speed tremendously, in the time it took me to open my back door and grab my binoculars. I don't think it was the ISS as it was on the other side of the planet at that time.

Funny thing is, that night I had a dream about multiple yellowish orbs flying past my house and some would stop for a moment then would continue circling around. Also, when I woke up I found myself laying on the other side of my bed. Another thing is that I got a fortune from a fortune cookie that said, "You will have a close encounter of the surprising kind." I also had another dream some months later, but this time it was a black rectangular craft and one bulbous looking craft that had two engines in the back glowing a light blue.... For all I know is that this was all real… Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

This was a brief but very interesting sighting. I live in a valley. Our house sits about halfway up on one of the sides. It was summer and was bedtime. I was getting ready for bed and my wife had already gotten into bed with the lights out. As I was walking through the bedroom, I caught a glimpse of two golden orange orbs floating through the valley. They were next to each other and I am telling you, they were going for a little exploration together or something of the like. I explain in other orb stories that I have written that; the orbs have a personality; you notice it immediately. You can almost “see” their character. It’s as if they were going on a stroll together up the valley and conversing along the way. Their movement was at a slow pace and not so much in a straight line, kind of wavey. I would estimate that their size was about the size of a volleyball. The light was not that bright, it was more of a glow. The window That I was looking out at them! through was small, so I lost view of them as they traveled past quite quickly. I ran into the other room to try and see them but lost sight of them.

My boyfriend and I were on vacation and sitting on the balcony overlooking the beach. We were looking at a very bright reddish color star which we found out was Mars via the skyview app. All of the sudden, something appeared in the distance over the ocean close to where we were seeing Mars. It had red lights that seemed to be in certain places around the object. The red lights dimmed and white lights followed in a straight line around the object. The line of lights trailed off with the end of the string of lights disappearing before the front. Approximately 10-15 minutes later, the exact same thing happened again, this time to the left of the original sighting. This time, a man sitting on the ground level patio alone turned around. We asked if he saw anything and he replied “what the heck was that thing?!” He also mentioned the red and white lights. Another 10-15 minutes later, we spotted the object again further down the beach.

Recently, I have noticed a very bright star in the sky and me and my fiance have argued over it being a star on the 4th of July on the 7th I'm sorry of this month my father-in-law told me that he thought it was Venus and I told both of them it was way too close to be either not last night but the night before which would be the 9th I kept looking at it and then when I was getting ready for bed I looked up and it was gone so last night I was out doing some things before I go into bed and I looked up at it and it moved very slightly not very roast is very slightly so I got my phone out and started recording it unfortunately the first recording that I took cuz I've got a new phone was deleted when I tried to turn on the second recording I do have the second recording of you are interested in the footage but this thing is very very bright and every time it would go to drop the light would get brighter and it would be longer I wasn't able to tell if it landed but, if you can no longer see it so in my opinion it did hit the ground it did go to the ground but if it did it would have been on the very edge of town or in town

We got binoculars and they were in the shape of a triangle and appeared the outline was dots. It was not moving and stayed stationary. All of a sudden, one light faded out and then the other. Didn’t see them anymore as we sit out there for the next couple hours. We saw and heard other aircraft and helicopters but there was no sound when these were seen. They were super bright compared to everything else in the sky. So bright, it reflected on the horizon so was easy to tell how much higher it was and wasn’t a boat. Very strange.

I SEE THE CONFIRM NOTICE YOU SENT AND IT IS ERRONEOUS. I NEVRE, NEVER, NEVER SAID THERE WAS AN ABDUCTION, YET YOUR CONFIRM SHEET STATES THAT I DID. THERE WAS NO ABDUCTION. WHAT IS WRON WITH YOUR SYSTEM? As of the date we received the above statement, we had not yet posted the report that this comment applies to. We are not aware that we have labeled a report from Naples, FL, as a possible abduction. PD

A white streak raced across the sky in my backyard as I walked my dog. The distance it spanned (from my vantage point) was about 3-4 yds as applied to the sky. Then, the light stopped and remained still with red and white blinking lights, remaining in one place for more than a minute. It then, gradually moved to my right very slowly and disappeared behind a clump of trees, not to resurface. I was unable to see the shape of object. I have never seen an object fly so quickly across the sky. After streaking, it hovered in place as previously described. The speed of the white light streak was virtually instantaneous. It was the fastest thing I have ever seen in the sky, and the strangest. I would have taken a photo or video but did not have my cell phone with me. Entire viewing aout 5 minutes.

From our front yard in Meridian my wife and I saw a white object overhead that we thought was an airplane. Something looked odd about it so I grabbed some binoculars and looked. The front third was red and the back was white with the two colors divided by a definite line. It had a rudder but no tail. It had a long white something sticking out of the top near the front on about a 45 degree angle forward. I thought it might be a refueling tube, but it was too big around. It had no wings or tail, No markings, just red and white. No noise. Then it just disappeared. It didn't fall or speed off, it just vanished. The sun had just set but was obviously shining on this object. It flew from south to north.

In July 2018 I saw a very large gold egg shaped UFO while driving down exit 5 area in Nashua, New Hampshire! I’ll never forget that late afternoon because the UFO ended up moving towards a mass of clouds obscuring the object. As the clouds began to close over the UFO the sun beamed from the gold metal like a laser beam that beamed into my right eye. It was painful that beam of light that I had to cover my eyes. When I went to look for it again it was gone just like that!!
