Multiple bright gold yellow orange lights seen in groups at treetop level. Slow moving and stationary lights seen in groups of up to 5 or 6 at a time coming from Mt. Tamalpais area and swarming around this area. Lights seem to appear about 15 to 30 seconds apart and follow each other in an evenly spaced flight formation. This same activity also happened on 6-28 and 6-29 with these glowing spheres of light following each other about 15 seconds apart for about 45 minutes.

Driving west bound outside of reno at approx.9:10 the object came from the south east of reno over highway 80 and went toward the west. the Object was so bright I was waiting for it to burn out. It stayed strong with its pattern and the speed was much faster then a air craft. what caught my eye is that this object never brock direction and never blinked to show other air travelers of flight path. Also,i could tell the other drivers on free way were seeing cause the truck in front of me almost didn't turn with Freeway and went into guardrail.

Seaside, OR
Seaside Oregon July 5 2018, just before sunset I was at the Holiday Inn on the balcony taking pictures, it was a very photogenic day. I noticed the sun was getting low in the sky and started getting my camera ready for a sunset. As I looked through my camera, I saw a strange cloud low in the sky. I had a mid-range zoom on the camera and zoomed in to look at the cloud. I couldn’t believe my eyes! In this cloud was a craft, clearly. I took 2 photos of it and my settings were not getting the picture, see photo 1187. Next to me on a table was my 300mm zoom. I made the decision to go for the swap. As I took the lens off, while keeping my eye on the cloud, the craft move out and away, up and right slightly. Its movement was direct and smooth, it quietly and gracefully moved faster as it went, as it was getting smaller, due to moving away, suddenly it appeared to loop straight back on itself, so for a moment I thought is was coming back and now had a very strange bright light on it. Then I realized it had opened a portal- black hole and it was leaving. The size of the portal was not much bigger than the craft. This all took only seconds. I reached for the 300mm lens, snapped it on and started shooting. The first pics are of the UFO shaped cloud left by the craft and the black hole. The black hole only shows up as a small strange cloud, although it was black in reality. I was just amazed and disappointed in the photos and accidently deleted the second shot I took before changing lenses. Since then, I have poured over the photos and now realize, I really have something! I may be the first and or only one to see this and photograph it. Some of the photos are very high quality. Nikon DX 5300 camera. The UFO shaped cloud left by the craft dissipated in about 40 seconds and that is shown in the photo sequence. I continued to shoot until it was gone. On 11-14-18, I was looking at the time of the photos. The time is not correct but it shows the rate I was shooting. The photos numbered 1190, 1191 have a 4 minute 20 second gap. I am positive I never stopped taking pictures for more than 20 seconds or so. Then it occurred to me that the strange clouds that appeared next (photo 1191) are part of the black hole and are measurable ( the distance stays the same from the gate to the clouds), consistent (there seems to be and energy making a twist) that stays and then go away at the closing of the gate. 1. I have photos of a black hole, from a known fixed position with possible measurable data, which could locate the position of the gate. The photos also show an effect from the gate starting with photo 1191, that affect seems to cause me too loose over 4 minutes. The distance between the gate and weird cloud remains exactly the same distance until it closes. It is my opinion that the ship was waiting for the gate. Otherwise why would they risk this exposure? 2. What I witnessed in the gate is fairly interesting. The light was like no other light I have seen, it is hard to describe. But it was long and spikey, like a photo of star light but the spikes were bending and coming back to the gate. Very bright and long spikes! Photo 1188, when zoomed in shows the spikes. The gate seemed straight at first and then after a while it curved left and the craft went left in the tube. How I could see all of this is mysterious in itself. How my camera didn’t get what I was seeing is disappointing. 3. The size of the craft was large, I am only guessing at 300 ft. in diameter. Shiny and glistened in the sun. But of a dark color, not bright and shiny like aluminum. Deep enough for at least 2 decks. Ironically no good photos of the craft. Had I captured all of what I saw, this would have been one of the biggest UFO events in history. 4. I have forensically looked through all photos taken before the event. All those being to the left of the place where I spotted the craft. There are 2 possible UFO’s in photos 1138 and 1144 and I have a sequence of 5 photos showing 2 clouds dropping out of a larger cloud and moving right in the pictures, photos 1147 through 1154 on the right side above the tree and left. Those might be clouds but they are going the right way and the craft was in a cloud so I included them. 5. There must have been a lot of people with cameras that day and many of those people may not know they have photos of this event. 6. Below is the basic shape, it was ugly enough to make me wonder if it was one of ours. Picture 1136 shows three black flying objects, on the far left above the mountain.

My wife and I observed the craft for approximately 10 minutes. I was able to view the craft with binoculars and observed the crafts ability to shift its shape. I personally do not believe that this was a drone being that I operated drones both as a hobby and professionally. This was the first sighting of an object that I could not identify in my lifetime. I’ve worked around aircraft for several years now at Atlanta’s Hartsfield Jackson International Airport and feel that I’m familiar with how most aircraft operate. This craft appeared to be static but also appeared to have control of itself which leads me to believe that it was not any type of weather balloon. I was able to snap a few pictures with a cell phone camera for what it’s worth.

Outside got dark, I went out to roll up windows when I saw up in the clouds a round silver shinny saucer with a tall dome in the clouds, with no sound or lights. The UFO was called in the clouds. Lighting was strikingly above the dome, and below the craft. No thunder or wind nor rain. I learned later businesses beneath the craft lost electrical power. The craft was visible at one moment and I saw 2 brightly light orbs cone out if the craft. They flew away very fast

The objects were equal distance apart and I could not find any recognizable features. The remained an equal distance apart from one another as they flew. I was stopped at a red light so I took video of them. When the light turned green I had to proceed and could no longer tape them. I have been an elementary school teacher for 20 years.

Pittsboro, NC
On the morning of July 5, 2018, approximately at 4.12 am I woke up as usual to go use a bathroom. As I sat on my bed, I saw a BRIGHT light coming from the sky lights in my bathroom to by bedroom. My bathroom is in my bedroom. The light went all the way behind a corner in my bedroom and created a rectangle. I was puzzled but I got up and went into the bathroom to look what was going on. As I walked into the bathroom I saw VERY sharp and bright light right above the sky light. I had to shield my eyes from the brightness. I could see only sharp blue/white light covering the whole window. It reminded me movies about aliens where people have to shield their eyes because of the brightness. However, I lost the next 10 minutes. I only remember waking up and sitting back on my bed. Still looking at the bright light. I turned my back to it and went to sleep. This whole time my inner voice was telling me to 'just go to sleep'. I woke up to go to work at 5.20 am and the light was gone. I have no idea why I did not wake my husband up or did not take pictures. I just had this very happy feeling. On July 6th, 2018, at 4.23 am the light was there again, but in distance. It was not covering my window. This time I took pictures. first I thought it was a full moon, however, on July 8, 2018 I took a picture of the moon and found out that it was not full moon.

Columbus, GA
I witnessed a light on Saturday night near the Columbus airport in a neighborhood close by. I watched it for at least 2 hours and it seemed to move occasionally. It was much bigger than a star and would pulsate and flash or blink. Sometimes it would go much dimmer.i took many videos and zoomed way in with a camera app on my phone to took several photoa. They are not the best quality but the object seems to have a circle in the middle of an x in the visible ones. My phone kept shutting off as if I had no battery even though it was well charged. Eventually I left and was wondering what it could have been. My friend whos house it was didn't think it was a ufo of any kind and blew the idea off. July 3rd late at night we saw the same light in the same exact spot and I felt embarrassed thinking I must have been wrong about the ufo idea. It must be a satellite or something else. I'm not sure but two times in the same spot made me doubt myself. Then there was last ni! ght July the 4th. I saw the same light again. It seemed brighter and this time there was also a 2nd one a ways across the sky. I was no certain something is going on and when I went inside to get my phone to take a picture I came back out and it was completely gone. The first light remained there and didn't seem to do anything strange. Aside from the occasional flashes and blinks it never flew or moved. It seemed to just stay in the same place. Possible sighting of Mars, we wonder? PD

Driving down the free way in a convertible I noticed what looked like a neon letter A floating though the sky. Extremely low. Lower than the peak of the surrounding hills. When I fully became aware of the UFO it stopped in its place. As if it noticed me. From my peripheral vision an identical craft floated and stopped right next to the original one. The two crafts stayed next to each other for a moment. Until eventually the second one took off into space in an instant. Leaving a trail of light that curved as it shot into outer space. The original craft stayed and hovered there until I could no longer see it. This was event was profound to me as I actually saw the UFO take off at light speed into space. Opening up my mind to the idea that the impossible is reality.

Large invisible/black rectangular craft with red and green lights at the corners. As soon as I realized what I was seeing. I tried to get the attention of a couple a half city block over but the elevated train drowned my yelling. 20 seconds later it sped off at an unbelievable speed, silently South East direction.

We saw a fast moving object after fireworks and I told my sister to take a picture. The picture is a circle of what looks like lava with a hooded face in the circle. There is also a trail behind it. We have pictures for proof.

My wife and I were on our rooftop to watch fireworks on the 4th of July 2018. We have a clear view of The Sears Tower (Willis Center) which is about 2.5 miles away. I noticed a red light, a bit brighter than what we typically see on top of building or tall antenna for aviation purposes. We also could see that all the buildings had their own red light(s) on top for identification purposes. The thing that I noticed very quickly was that this red light was above the Sears Tower beacons by a long shot and was no way a part of that buildings antennas. The red light would stay solid for about 20 seconds then off for about 2-3 seconds, back on for about 5 seconds, back off for 2-3 seconds and finally stay on for 20-30 seconds. This process lasted about 10-15 minutes. Then the light moved in a completely straight horizontal motion, did the blink sequence and moved back to where it was. It then moved in a completely straight vertical motion down above another building, eventually moving back up. These movements were not fast nor slow but for the distance we were viewing from the movement was probably in fact very fast. At the end of this viewing the light switched from green to red and back to red several times and also did a white light blinking sequence for about 5-10 seconds before finally staying red. These color changes all happened while sitting in one spot at a time. We finally decided to leave the roof top because a large lightning storm was approaching and the winds were very strong. In fact we could see the larger fireworks being blown northeast into the wind quite dramatically. That was also very strange to see this light not moving with the wind as a drone or helicopter might. My first reaction was a helicopter but I have never witnessed a helicopter move in right angles so precisely. My wife suggested a Drone but I don't believe a drone can stabilize so well in 20-30 winds and if I had to guess this light was probably 3k-7k above the lake. From our vantage point the light would have been closer to southeast Chicago or possibly even Indiana. When we got back into out apartment I was excited to get my spotting scope set up to look at it but of course it was not there nor did it reappear for the next hour or so while we stayed awake.

The object moved from Northeast to Southwest at a slow steady speed.there was no noise from the craft. There where fire works in the area, but not close enough to drowed out engine noise. The entire event lasted approximately 4 minutes.at which point the craft disappeared. I am certain that the radar at Ft. Knox observed the craft. End of report.

My father had been in the back yard when he saw a rectangular figure with round lights. They were red, green, and white. I came outside when I heard him say, "Something's going on out here!" We watched it rise to an altitude lower than an airplane. Hard to say how big it was. In approximately one minute it maneuvered very quickly to the southwest, without making a 180 degree turn. Just seemed to go in reverse. Then it disappeared below the horizon.

Going from South to North over Chicago two bright red tennis objects slowly floated over my house. On a very clear night with little clouds they were very clear. They had no noise and were fairly low. Not blurry they were very clear. A minute later another single white object followed the other two now not visible going South over Chicago. They were clearly flying lower then the planes landing at O'Hare airport.

My wife and I were outside watching the neighborhood fireworks all around us when I noticed a reddish orange orb in the east sky. The object was moving from east to west across the sky. As it made it’s way over the Gulf of Mexico, the object appeared to have stopped for about 30 seconds and then disappeared. There was no sound, there were no blinking lights, just a fully illuminated reddish orange orb. As it was the Fourth of July, I’m sure there must be many people who were looking in the sky last night and must have witnessed this orb.
