I witnessed a black sphere hovering and slowly moving in the distance high up in the sky and about 10 miles away. As I told my friend to look at it, it was too far for my friend to see it his vision was not as good as mine. It was dark clouds all over the sky. The sphere was just below the high dark clouds. Then it began to rain and thunder.

Rohnert Park, CA
Looked West into sky at 11:30 a.m. today and noticed what I thought was a flock of white birds. Their movement wasn't bird-like and they didn't form into any sort of distinct patterns together. The way they moved seemed as if in all directions including backwards and sideways and they sort of swarmed around like kites but independent of anything holding them. They were all white and shaped like boomerangs and kept moving in a swarm and all of a sudden simply disappeared. My friend and I both watched them trying to figure out what they could be. No idea. As for background, I have no scientific training and we were simply standing out by my car. I wish I had thought to take a photo.

UFO possible near moon. The moon was crescent and the image appeared on the dark side. My HD Sony Handycam AVCHD WITH 9.2 megapixel is what I used to capture it. I had auto focus on the lights appear as whie and then flips to pulsating. No pulsar stars similar to Sirius. This occured at my workplace on my overnight shift.

Watched for another 10min till the triangular one and the multi colored one instantly and silently went straight up and gone in less than a sec. The red ones stayed and lost sight behind houses on ocean side. Crazy always questioned not anymore

The sphere had lights rotating around the edge. Was headed eastward through downtown. Once it passed town, it casually veered dorectly north, till it disappeared out of view. The object made no sound. When i first seen the object it was so low to the ground I thought for sure it was going to land. But it never did. It definitely was not a helicopter, or a airplane.

Myrtle Beach, IN
My sister and I were walking the beach later in the evening. We stopped to talk, and we looked out onto the ocean. Suddenly, with no sound, three large orange orbs appeared in a triangular formation approx 100-200ft above the water. My sister and I looked at one another and confirmed we were both seeing the object. It hovered in one position for approx 30-45 seconds, then again, without sound, the lights disappeared all at once. There was no indication of it being a star, plane, helicopter, lantern, firework or anything else. It was extremely bizarre and we both felt alarmed.

It was extremely large and about 1.5 to 2 miles out to see. It's hard to tell the scale of things over the vastness of the ocean, especially in the nighttime; but it was at least several football fields wide, could have even been a mile wide. All I can say is that it was ENORMOUS and awe-inspiring. I have no idea what this thing was, but it was definitely not of this world. It was not jets in formation. It was not something coming from out in space like a shooting star. I know that aliens exist and that they come here, but I never thought that I would see anything like this in my lifetime. I am a songwriter & it was so inspiring, I actually wrote a parody of a popular Disney song to commemorate the experience. Thanks for the forum to share these events. Never knew this site existed before!

Husband and I were sitting on hotel balcony overlooking the ocean. Large very bright orange orb suddenly appeared over Atlantic Ocean. It then got brighter and then disappeared as quickly as it came. Was NOT a shooting star.

Warrington, PA
Something has been appearing in the night sky between 9-10 pm, nightly less than a month. It is stationary for awhile, then moves and becomes stationary again for awhile. It seems to loop around full circle. Could it be a Satellite? (It's positioned near Willow Grove Naval.) It doesn't appear to be a star (too big, too bright, too close, and shaped oblong or cigar shape.)

Richmond, VA
My girlfriend and I saw what we believe was a shiny metallic disc-shaped UFO while driving our car on I-295 west while exiting onto I-95 south outside Richmond, VA, at 2:10 p.m., Monday, July 9, 2018. I was driving my girlfriend to her doctor's appointment. Our sighting lasted about one minute or less. While slowing to exit from one interstate highway to another I noticed what appeared to be a metallic saucer-shaped craft high in the air. The craft was north of our position at about 45 degrees above the horizon. I estimate the altitude may have been 10,000-15,000 feet (higher than a light prop plane but lower than a cruising airliner). At the time there was a sunny clear-blue sky to the north without clouds and unlimited visibility. There were clouds to the south but they were not a factor. I watched the craft trying to determine whether it might be an airplane but there was absolutely no discernible movement, nor were there any FAA lights, markings, noise or! vapor trails. The disc was hovering and reflecting the sunlight. I'm 58 years old, BS with honors, am familiar with military and civilian spacecraft and aircraft, meteorology, astronomy, and relatives from NASA, NSA, and Army helicopters. This craft did not appear to be one of "ours." After deciding for myself that the craft in question might very well be an extraterrestrial vehicle rather than a man-made aircraft, I pointed it out to my girlfriend. She observed the shiny hovering disc for about 15 seconds and came to the same conclusion. My girlfriend also is mature, college degreed, and the owner/operator of an online store. We both watched the disc hover, seemingly motionless, reflecting the sun, and then it appeared to vanish into thin air without a trace. We scanned the clear-blue sky but the "saucer" apparently cloaked itself, raced off in the blink of an eye, and/or perhaps disappeared into another dimension of time/space. We did not see or hear a! ny man-made aircraft in the sky in that direction at the time of our disc sighting. Only the shiny metallic saucer-shaped craft. No clouds, airplanes or helicopters. However, both of us heard a military jet fighter roar over our house at approximately 10 a.m. the same day, about four hours before we saw the UFO disc. We live in rural King William County about 30 minutes northeast of where we saw the disc. We have seen many black unmarked helicopters over our property, and occasional jets, especially in conjunction with other resident's UFO reports, but I believe this was the first jet fighter in a few months and we found it noteworthy since the fighter plane was monitoring our area a few hours before we saw the UFO. Just a "coincidence"? There is an Army base with heliports and airstrips controlled by the NSA, including "secret" underground tunnels, about 30 minutes northwest of our home but the aforementioned chopper and jet-fighter flights are not routine and nearly always coincide with MUFON/NUFORC reports by other local! witnesses. My girlfriend and I believe the ETs are mostly benign and it's the "shadow government" and military/industrial/intelligence complex that people should be concerned about. We believe the ETs probably monitor the shadow government facilities and vice versa. We believe the latter information and opinion is relevant and should be considered in conjunction with our possible extraterrestrial disc sighting because of the unusual jet fighter roaring over our house the same day. Note: Our shiny, reflective UFO disc sighting outside Richmond, VA occurred on the afternoon of July 9, 2018, and I reported it to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) on the morning of July 10, 2018 (MUFON case 93248). Then on the morning of July 15, 2018 I discovered a NUFORC case from Springfield, VA, about a shiny, reflective possible UFO disc seen in the daytime on July 8, 2018, but posted to NUFORC on July 13, 2018. The NUFORC case reminded me of our Richmond sighting first reported to ! MUFON. Bottom line: Someone in Northern Virginia near Washington, D.C, saw a possible UFO disc during the day on July 8 and then my girlfriend and I saw a possible UFO disc during the day outside Richmond (120 miles south of D.C.) on July 9, and a military fighter jet made an unusual pass over our rural home on July 9 about four hours before we saw the disc-shaped UFO. All just a "coincidence"?

Flatwoods, WV
Flatwoods, West Virginia. At approximately 4:15 am this morning, I happened to be looking out my bedroom window admiring the clarity of the early morning sky. No clouds in sight, so visibility was crystal clear. Because the sky was unusually clear, I was looking to see if I could locate the brightest star that was showing. One star caught my eye as it was a somewhat brighter than the surrounding stars. It was early morning and as such, my eyes weren’t focusing just then. I thought at first that this star was simply twinkling hints of blue and red mixed in with white. After a few minutes of mindlessly watching this star, I start to notice what I thought was movement. At first, I thought it was just my imagination, but I couldn’t take my eyes off from it. I reached for my glasses and once I had them on I could see that indeed this star was moving ever so slightly. I understand that the atmosphere can make stars appear to shimmer, so I didn’t become excited. After approximately 10 minutes of my continual star gazing, I noticed that this same star was beginning to move about more. The best way I can describe its movement is comparing it to a gnat flying about. This was not flying like an airplane and I considered that perhaps it was a helicopter, however I quickly ruled this out because there is no way a helicopter could make those kinds of maneuvers without crashing to the ground. I woke my wife up and asked her to confirm what I was seeing, and she observed this object as well. I decided to step outside to see if there was any sound, but I didn’t hear anything unusual. I took this opportunity to take in more of the sky to see if there were any more of the objects around. There were no others in my area of sight. We live in the mountains and there are lots of trees. I was looking NNE and I will approximate the object was at about 30 – 35 degrees above the horizon. I really have no accurate way of estimating the altitude. I was watching the object through a large gap between trees in my yard and continued to do so until the object was no longer in line of sight. This entire time was approximately 45 minutes. I concluded that the object was basically stationary over one area of the sky and due to the rotation of the earth, my view of the object became obstructed by the trees. I am very interested to see if there are any other reports about this incident.

This is a reoccurring event. Myself and a fellow eye witness have viewed this abnormally excessively bright light in the sky. The fact it can be seen from varying locations (often several miles from each other) suggests to me this object is quite far away/high in the sky. I have watched this light through telescope, and despite the increased magnification, I cannot make it out as a particular object that I find to be recognizable. I see a light, seemingly in the south east. It almost appears to be a very bright star or a neighboring planet upon first glance. Yet I have little doubt it is either of those based on the observations both myself and a fellow eye witness have viewed, due to its movements. It almost always subtle makes very suble shifts or changes in location, but it isn’t something easily explainable for me at least. When the sun rises the object slowly fades away into the blue of the day light’s sky. I have no issue with some of the more controversial measures our government has taken in more recent years, if indeed it is justified in the fight against our adversaries (i.e. warrantless wire Taps) provided surveillance is done responsibly. I fear our 4th amendment is eroding though, but I’m hesitant to even report what I’d likely assume to be nonsense if I personally had not witnessed the phenomenon close to dozens of times at this point if I had to guess. I’m usually the skeptical one in any given group, but this is truly remarkable to witness. I see this so frequently in the night’s sky it has become the norm essentially. I feel perhaps any reasonable expectation of privacy with regard to uav/drones given substantial increases in their use? should be addressed by the highest court, which can be better understood with respect to our 4th amendment through precedents that have become the standard by our judiciary system, or were rather. Is this big brother? I know not the! answer to such a question. I hope the intrusive practices I’m assuming to be witnessing are necessary for our safety as a nation. Possible sighting of Jupiter or Mars, we suspect. PD

Madras (?), OR
We live in Vancouver, Washington, and there is a very large, orange, round ball in the the sky that looks like it is maybe over Madras, or between Madras and Troutdale, Oregon. This is VERY large, if you consider how far away we are, because it's fairly large from where we are seeing it. It has been in the same exact spot for at least 20 minutes now, and has not moved at all. We know it's not a star, as it is a totally different color than ANY of the other stars, and is much lower on the horizon than any of the stars. It's just hanging in the sky. Mars. PD

Gloucester, MA
While standing on the Ipswich Bay side of Cape Ann, looking towards Crane Beach, we saw one bright sphere about 3 times the size of Venus that hovered low over the horizon, at about the level of Venus. Suddenly, there were 2 spheres, side-by-side. The more southern one slowly drifted at a constant level and speed in a Southerly direction. The original sphere did not move, but another sphere appeared beside it and followed in the same path as the second sphere. This continued for about an hour. We lost count, but there must have been at least 10 spheres that followed the same pattern. There were usually 2-3 spheres moving before they were lost to our sight due to trees. Only one sphere started to move in a more northerly direction, before turning to circle around the original sphere and then continuing in a southerly direction. A few of the spheres had a reddish hue, some seemed to fade and decrease in size. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

We were driving to Melas Park for the Festival and looking towards the sky I see this fireball or Shooting star, very big and bright passing in the sky from North to South. Sky wasn't fully dark, just little after dusk. Was me and my friend that was driving that witnessed it. Don't know if it was a UFO , but I can surely say was closer to a meteor ball or shooting star, but was very big. no noise heard because in the car.

Bright green ball appeared out of nowhere, like shooting star for 3-4 seconds except fr glowing green color. 2 balls that appeared to "fall off" and then completely disappeared from sky. No clouds. No planes in sight.
