Plainfield, IL
On June 25, 2018, at 2:36 AM., I received a FaceTime call from two of my friends. They immediately exclaimed that one of them had seen a UFO and that “they’re are aliens out here”. I told them to record it for me and to promise me that they were not lying or fabricating any details, my friend who is the one who witnessed it named, ((male name deleted)), claimed he was not lying and seemed anxious but ultimately agreed to record it. Two minutes later at 2:38 AM, I received a Snapchat video of a bright red light with a white light in the center, which stood still. ((male name deleted)) recorded the footage in a secluded Walmart parking lot behind the store which was right next to the field where he claims the UFO was hovering. He claims that it would disappear and then reappear in the same spot but only did so once. The video shows ((male name deleted)) out of breath, saying “ - I’m alright” to the other person present who did not witness anything, before continuing to hyperventilate. The caption on the! Snapchat video said, “It moved after this bruh”. Although the 8 second video is short, it does show the unexplained light. Now I live near where the location that they are talking about and there are no cell towers in the area where the UFO was sighted, and that would give off such a light. He claims it was definitely not any commercial aircraft like an airplane or helicopter. The video depicts a bright red light with a white light in the center. Upon sending me this video, ((male name deleted)) claimed that when he looked back up it had disappeared without a trace, as if it had disappeared within the blink of an eye. No entities were seen despite the comment about aliens, that was just his belief as to the origins of the UFO. I screen recorded the video so that footage is in my possession. I told him I would go to the spot in case there was any trace evidence, but was unable to do so due to work. We haven’t received any storms, only intense heat from a recent heatwave that had struck the Midwest, but besides that there is no indication that any trace eviden ce would disappear as a result. I will update on any future findings, such as increased electromagnetic activity in the sighting location, along with any types of abnormal radiation that may have affected plant life or any animals. I am okay with my name being displayed as I encourage others to contact me about their sightings as well. ((male name deleted)) agrees to have his name displayed also. ((male name deleted)) was questioned about the encounter thoroughly and assisted me in the creation of this report. Anyone wishing to contact Colin or the other individual who had accompanied ((male name deleted)), can be contacted through me personally. - ((author's name deleted))

Colorado Springs, CO
Anyway, I had just gotten back from having dinner with a friend of mine and I was starting to wind down for the night. The drive down there from Denver was horrible because we encountered major storms earlier in the day. Lots of heavy rains and hail from Denver to the Sprgs. So I decided to go out on the patio and have a smoke or two before I went to bed. I was out there for about 5 or 10 mins, when I suddenly saw a white translucent chevron aircraft flying silently to the South/Southwest. I couldn't believe my eyes! I have never seen one of these objects before. It was flying around 2000-3000 ft. up in the air and it was moving very fast. Unfortunately, there was a large tree close to where I was standing and the object flew behind the tree and I didn't see it again. As soon as I noticed it was gone for good, I noticed several perfect circles (a bit larger than basketballs) that were also white and translucent that were much lower in the sky, and they were much closer to me and my position! At first, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, so I started to rub them. But as soon as I stopped rubbing them, I saw more of the white circles just hovering in the air. There were people playing tennis that night and there were other people on one of the other courts because I could hear them being really loud and laughing about something, but I didn't know what. I didn't get the impression that any of them saw what I just saw, but I don't know for sure. I did not sleep well that night at all and I kept getting the impression that something was watching me. It was so creepy! I have had numerous UFO sightings over the past 21 years, but I've never seen anything like these objects.

I took what I thought was a photo of myself lounging by the pool at Horseshu Hotel & Casino to capture my holiday. The photo was taken facing West. When I went to post it I noticed it was actually a short live video. In one split second/frame of the video a large craft appears. It just shows itself like a blip. Black and angular - looks like some sort of craft and appears to be larger than than the two story water tower in the background. I was by myself when it happened and when I showed it to the hotel staff it was all they could talk about. Almost looks like a plume of something is coming out from below - silver on top with a shadowy dark bottom. Made no sound when it appeared.

Edisto Island, SC
Over the ocean, initially saw a flashing light that split into three distinct objects before quickly coming back to the apex. We continued watching as the light blinked across the sky for 4-7 minutes before emitting a brilliant white light. The light was so bright I looked away, but when looked back the night was still and there were no lights in the sky aside from the stars.

It is raining and a thunderstorm behind the object so it was not a star or a drone of any sort. I have flown drones and lived in the area long enough to know where drones are flown and what they look like. My wife and daughter watched it while I drove, wondering what it was. They then said, "It just disappeared!" I asked my wife for a more detailed explanation and she said that it didn't drop to the ground or fly up into the storm clouds. It vanished.

Vehicle was seen flashing brilliantly at 35,000 feet proceeding in a southwestern direction. Vehicle then stopped and hovered for minutes. Vehicle then proceeded back northeast and hovered again changing shape somewhat but very high up. Vehicle was seen flashing brightly in full sunlight. It then just disappeared.

Two Golden Cheverons flying in formation from south to north in the eastern sky. I saw them in my telescope. They were very far away but left flecks of gold in their path.

New York City, NY
June 22, 2018, my wife and I had an after-dinner stroll along the promenade in Long Island City, New York. We took a seat somewhere between Long Island City and Hunter’s Point Ferry landings to rest and enjoy the view of Manhattan on the other side of the East River. At 8:30, or so, we spotted an object with a pair of red lights hovering above the skyline. The lights were a little too bright for me not to think it was odd. I joked that it was a UFO, without really putting too much stock in it. Still, there was something so strange about its brightness and its steadiness, like a snapshot in the sky, that I could not take my eyes off of it. The object made a vertical jump, held for a second, and then shot across the sky 3 to 5 miles toward the southern part of Manhattan in about 2 seconds, and that was when my jaw hit the ground. From where we sat, neither of us could determine the exact height of the object but it appeared higher than the Chrysler Building - a lot higher. My wife argues that it was probably a trick of the eye and that whatever we saw was in reality closer to us. She believes it flew lower and above the river’s edge. I disagree. I trust my sense of perspective. I can compare structural sizes and their spacial relationships as good as anyone. I can tell the difference between far and near, high and low, and I am convinced that what I saw was way up in the sky and away from the river’s edge! My wife said it was a helicopter. But after a real helicopter flew by, she clearly saw the difference. The helicopter’s lights were not as bright as the UFO’s. The helicopter was noisy. The UFO was silent. The helicopter wavered as it hovered. The UFO was as still as a statue. She said then it was probably a drone. I countered with the following: a drone has height restrictions. Again, the height and distance of what we saw could be argued, but you’ll never change my opinion. The UFO was at least a few thousand feet over the skyline and further west of the East River. After YouTubing videos of drone in flight at night, I can say that the behavior of a drone compared to that of the UFO is much different too. Like helicopters, drones are subject to air buffeting. They’re not perfectly steady. Their movements are not clean, sharp, symmetrically perfect like what I saw in the UFO. Describing the UFO’s movement was like someone using a right-angle straight edge on a laser pointer. It moved in two perfect straight lines, cutting over abruptly in a 90 degree angle. Also, like anything else in movement, drones display acceleration. The thing my wife and I saw did not show this. One moment it was there, the next it’s shooting across the sky. No acceleratio! n! It was amazing. One more thing: I don’t think the NYPD would allow anyone to fly a drone in an area crowded with helicopter traffic. Just saying. I wish I had recorded it, but I didn't really expect anything odd to happen. When it did, it happened too fast.

Kenneth city, FL
At approximately 8:25 pm eastern time i was on my patio smoking a cigarette, which i do regularly. Upon looking in the sky towards the southwest. In the sky’s was a small orb very very high in the sky on the left side of the sun. Upon staring at the small particle in the sky, i knew i was not looking at a star or a plane. The small orb moved from left of the sun to right of the sun at a steady pass which also lead me to believe this was no star. I took several videos over a 20 minute period from the same angle and same location on my patio. Within 20 minutes the ufo was out of sight and was gone.

Long Beach, NY
Last night at around 10pm I was laying in bed staring out the window with a view of the east end canal in Long Beach and saw two large white circular lights chasing each other back and forth at a quick speed. They were hidden within the clouds but the shape and light color were easy to see. The clouds seemed low last night because the orbs looked large. Saw them 3 times in a matter of a minute before they went away. Then about 5 minutes later just saw one traveling a bit slower and a bit farther away.

This wasn't the first time I have seen activity and this… unnerved me. I shut the blinds. A few weeks earlier driving home from a park in Flint, both the driver and I saw a beam of light and took photos. The photos are not too clear as they look faded from the sun’s brightness so we did try to adjust the contrast and it did show up better. Unfortunately all we had was a cell phone.

We live close to exit 14 off of interstate 77. I was by myself, I stayed behind while the rest of the family went on vacation to take care of the pets. It was around 1:30 am when one of our dogs started to dig down the bedroom door trying to get inside. Not like her at all. She’s normally asleep. Then I noticed our German Shepard mix was acting super nervous and panting really hard. I went to use the bathroom and both dogs and one of the cats followed me, the dog that was digging down the door even tried to jump on my lap. I thought well maybe they need to use the bathroom for some reason, even though they never go out at this time. So I leash up the dogs, and take them outside for a short walk. I always look at the planets; I love them. While admiring how bright Mars was, I noticed there were three bright lights in the sky moving. They were pretty close together and the middle one was slightly higher than the other two. The thing that weirded me out the mos! t was that it made no sound. It was flying away from us going towards south bound 77. It made me feel very uneasy. I stood there watching it for a few minutes and then went back inside. The dogs calmed down for the most part but were still acting on guard. I have no explanation for the way they were acting. Both dogs and one of the cats acted weird. The other inside cat I couldn’t find, our outside cat I couldn’t find and my ferret was in the bedroom with me asleep. There were no storms in the area, we didn’t have any earthquakes(one of the first things I checked). I just kept telling myself it was military, until I told my boyfriend about it and drew a picture of how the lights were set up. He told me it may have been a ufo

I just witnessed something unusual - 8 red lights traveling from the direction of the sunward horizon - West to East. The objects, by their action and the way the light dimmed, appeared to be at orbital altitude. They came from the West and then progressively dimmed as they traveled toward the East. What makes it unusual is that the 8 objects appeared and disappeared within a span of approximately 5 minutes. Also the red color was unusual as I am used to looking for sky junk and watching it pass overhead, but it is, in my experience, lit white by the reflected sunlight. All came from the same part of the sky in succession and were closely grouped. I don't know what to make of this but thought it unusual enough to report.

Cedar Breaks, UT
I got out of the shower around 23:00, and my dad called me out to our porch. I went outside, my dad and I saw a light that changed colors multiple times while hovering over some mountains in the distance. I remember it changing to red, green, blue, white, orange, yellow, and purple. It was too far away for us to see the shape of the object. It was hovering above the mountains for a few minutes, so I went downstairs to grab my phone so I could get a picture or video of the event. By the time I got back to the porch the light was gone. There was is a weather station nearby where the light was hovering above. The weather station that I believe it was hovering above is in Cedar Breaks National Monument. I saw it from around 20 miles east of the weather domes.

I arrived home around 10:30 pm and when I pulled in the driveway I noticed a bright light above the tree line in the distance. I first thought it was a satellite or low star and then reasoned it was too low and seemed to move. I went inside and asked by skeptical husband to come and look. He thought it was strange as well. We ruled out helicopter and at that point I went and got my video camera with a rather large zoom. It got stranger from there. My husband thought it might be a drone as it would get farther from the camera and then come back closer. However, when it did come back closer, I got very interesting video that did not look like a drone as it had many more lights; not to mention it was bigger than personal drones and I have not ever seen a military one so I can't say it wasn't. My son came out and wanted to look and he said it looked like it was morphing. Very strange. We got in the car to see if we could get closer to the object and got some additional video. We live in a mountainous region of SW Virginia so your view is often blocked by trees and low areas. We tried to think of another high spot and went out Route 19 towards to North Fork River. We got half way there and realized we were to low and our view was being obstructed by the hills. When then came back into town and went up on a hill at our local Moose Club but once again trees obstructed our view until we came down the hill. We got additional footage and after reviewing it looks like the there are many lights and they are twinkling. We headed home and that is the last we saw of it. The event lasted around 40 minutes. I plan on checking with our local airport to see if they had any calls or if they can identify the object in my videos.

Was in the back yard with my dogs when I noticed several objects to the West and moving towards me to the East. They were dark black against a gray sky. At first I thought they might be drones but the objects were different shapes. There were a few round objects that seemed larger than a helicopter and one large object near the middle that looked like two large tubes in an "L' shape. The objects approached fairly rapidly, then stopped others slowed or moved more up than forward for a few seconds. One of the round ones came almost directly overhead. It looked like it had lighter colored parts on the outside I could make out as it got closer. It was odd. I felt like we were aware of each other. I don't know how to describe it. Then two more objects came from the same direction. The moved more rapidly than the others but from the same direction and slowed down over me. They were several hundred feet up. They didn't come close. They were silent. Then they started disappearing. First one, the poof poof, two more. A larger object stayed over head for a while, then it also slowly disappeared. It was strange...
