June 8, 2018, at 2:00 am Friday awaken by a bear, and chased away twice. At 2:20 while searching for the bear with my night vision with inferred, with weak batteries. My nephew with high intensity light was sweeping the area, when I saw an orb hovering 8 feet off the ground about 150 feet away. The orb was the size of a baseball. I told my nephew to hold the light in place, as I observed the orb which my nephew could not see with his light. It moved to right out of the beam of light, I then told my nephew to move the light just to right. I observed the orb again, and this time it knew I was on to it and scattered away. I saw the same type of orb in 8/20/2006 and reported 8/29/2006 to the NUFORC. These orbs from a distant are fainted light, but up close as I saw in 2006 with night vision, which you see thing in phosphorus green. It showed that it was violet and plasma blue, over riding the phosphorus green. The astronauts in the shuttle took video of these same orbs. I call them the Plasma Orbs

Jeffersonville, IN
I went out to watch the ISS fly over last night. It was moving from NW to SE. I continued to watch till it was almost lost in the light pollution of Metro Louisville, KY. Just as about to turn around and go inside, I noticed a faint red point source of light traveling on a reciprocal course to ISS and moving at same apparent speed. At first I thought it was an airplane with starboard nav light out, but as it travelled overhead I never heard any engine noise. I continued to watch it till I lost it from sight behind some large trees. I consider myself a good observer, as I was in Air Force in Vietnam and later got my BS and MS in Physics. I have never seen anything like this before.

Loves Park, IL
June 7th 2018 Loves Park, Illinois 61111 11:36 AM CDT I bought a Canon T6I camera the day before. So I wanted to test it out and saw the moon was in the sky during the daytime to my W/SW. So I took a few photographs of the moon. I snapped a few photos in rapid succession When I took the photos of the moon, I did not see the objects with my naked eye. When I uploaded the photos to the PC, that is when I noticed the objects. I sent the main photo of interest (IMG_0084) So it was my 84th photo of the camera. I also sent the photo before and after, so you can see the exif information and see these are straight from the camera and un-edited. Photo IMG_0084 I was taking a photo of the moon. There is 1 visible object just to the upper left of the moon. If you put it into an editing software, you can see there is 3 objects total. 1 visible, 2 not visible. As you can see in the photo before and after, you can see the photos were shot in rapid succession and the times and exif info of the photos. So you can see these are unedited. They only appeared in the one photo. As for what it may be, I do not know. But figured you might be interested I am going to email you the photos via email.

Rye, NH
During the night of June 7, 2018, around 10:12 PM, I heard a helicopter. It was loud not like a charter helicopter which flies by during the day for scenic tours. So I had gone outside to see it and when I viewed the helicopter and seeing the lights of it.....to the left and just a little ahead of that was this bright orange round orb. It was no reflection it was just this bright orange round globe. And after seeing the first helicopter....there was one right behind it and was chasing this light...glow....orb...round existence of what is was. It only lasted for maybe 20 seconds and wished I had my cell phone to video it. It WAS something I have never seen before for that. I live just across from the ocean in Rye, NH. I may have seen things on video or television before.....but this was live...and real.........!!! We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sincere in describing his sighting. PD

Pensacola, FL
Pensacola, Florida, June 7, 201,8 1:45-1:55 am I was at the intersection of US98 and S 72nd Ave, facing south at the traffic light. I saw a light behind the traffic light, and ignored it because it resembled a spot light on a helicopter, and there's much military and civilian air traffic due to nearby bases and airports. I looked again, while waiting for the green light, and noticed the distant object hadn't moved, and didn't have strobe or nav lights. I squinted to see it better and realized it was a very strange object. It was about 30° or less off of the horizon, and just west of due south from my location. I turned right instead, to get closer to the object. I pulled into a parking lot at 7575 W Hwy 98, and was directly north of the object. The area it was over was mostly wooded, I was afraid if i drove any closer I might miss it. At this point it was nearly 45-60° overhead, and was extremely bright. It was the size of a fingernail at arm's length, it was a clear sky and no reference point made it difficult to discern the size. My best guess is that it was a 1-2 thousand feet away, and appeared to be between the size of a car and a bus, but i really don't know for sure. It was "smaller" than a full moon, maybe 60% of that size. I jumped out of the car and immediately took a cell phone video, but could see the aperture was too small on the cheap camera and there wasn't enough light to see it on the screen. I tried taking several unsuccessful still shots, but it was still too dim/small, and didn't show up. I gave up after 3 shots, and focused instead on observing the object. It wobbled around, much like a top but very small movements. It also seemed tethered because it stayed in one spot while wobbling. The colors were hard to determine because of the luminosity of the surface, and also there were dark areas that seemed to indicate it was rotating. It was mostly yellow/orange/pink, the dark areas seemed blue or green, but they were distant and moving. It was shaped almost exactly like a queen's crown, it was rounded like a muffin on top, but had a ring underneath, like the headband on a crown. There may have been something on top, like a point, or it may have been light glare from the object. The dark areas were on the sides, like panels or windows. I considered it may have been a Chinese lantern, or maybe a quad copter, or some type of prank drone. It was totally silent, I have heard how noisy drones typically are. I started to shout at it after a minute or two, to see if it would do anything. Maybe a minute later, a very bright red light just appeared on the 10:00 position of the object, it was a pinpoint of intense really red light. Astonished, I began to flash my phone flashlight off and on at the object. The red light "grew" upwards into a equally bright red line, like a car antenna popping up. The line was no bigger than the object itself. It remained a line for maybe 30-60 seconds. Afterwards, it retracted upwards to return to a single point of light, now with more space between the original object and the red light, but still very close. It remained stationary, when suddenly the objects drifted south. As the objects started to move they looked like they went into a thick, invisible fog. There was no cloud, they just vanished/faded into a smoky oblivion. The entire process was about 10 minutes or less.

Union Springs, AL
My wife and I live in a very rural community. We were almost home, when we saw two blinking lights. My first initial thoughts was it was a helicopter hovering perpendicular to us, but then as we slowed down the lights moved to different altitudes, but now moving away from us as the same speed. As we followed, they began to pick speed, so did we. Faster and faster I drove but right before a big clearing they rose up and over a treeline just in time for us to lose them. I could have put it off as something from the military, but here are the questions that keep me wandering? They never made a sound. The distance between the treeline and them seemed like they went through the trees not over. The speed they accelerated at seemed too incredible. They moved like they had complete control of the environment around them. It felt like we were chasing ghost. And they knew exactly when to disappear to avoid a very revealing position.

Green River, WY
A bright light has been appearing in the sky on the southwest side of Green River. Attempts to explain light have been inconclusive. It is too bright for a star or planet and its movement is not natural. It stays for a while then disappears. Possibly a planet?? PD

Siletz, OR
This investigator has over 30 years of looking into crop circles, cattle mutilations, ufo sightings and other cases including a search and rescue of a missing woman in Eastern Oregon. But this is my first hand report of a 'Close Encounter of the Third Kind'. This incident comes by a phone call to my spouse on the late evening of 6 June 2018 at about 9:30pm, she received a call from her son. He is a former US Army veteran, former police officer and currently a security guard at a local casino. Watching my spouse's face as she was talking to her son, was a look of concern. She handed me the phone and said, "You need to hear this!" As I listened to her son, he was sincere about what they saw and encountered. The main witness was his girlfriend's daughter who is age 12. Given permission, I spoke with the girl for over 30 minutes asking specific questions. Here is a short summery of that chat; "What time and where did you have this sighting? About 7:30ish today, 5 miles south east of Siletz off a gravel road near Ojalla Road in the woods. "How far was this creature from you? "About 100 feet or so, standing 2 legs, pale grey height 4-5 feet quarter size eyes (dark brown) ribs showing, super skinny, no clothes head round oval, looked like no ears or nose, roundish bump where nose should be!" "How long did you see it?" "10 seconds first time and about 12 seconds the second time..." "What else did you see or hear?" "Birds were real quiet, then when it took off, the birds got noisy again. Prior to the sighting you could hear a 'buzzing noise'. Then sounds got echoing, that lasted about 20 seconds, then sounds in area got normal again. It, the creature moved unnatural, fast and quiet, no sound at all! "Did you see the whole creature? "Yeah, real skinny, ribs showing, thin like almost transparent, no clothes, quick movements..." She went on to tell me the family checked that area for evidence and found only tuffs of black and white fur on the stump. Time I spoke with this yound girl was 9:30pm the evening of 6 June 2018. The following is a full written report from this 12 year girl of her entity encounter; "The night of June 6th, 2018 me and my family decided to go for a drive up in the hills 5 miles out of Siletz, Oregon. We were out to find wood to make ourselves a bow. My mom's boyfriend "J" saw some sticks that were perfect for the bows so we cut them off the tree that they were attached to. Then we went down the road and "J" saw some downed alder that could be used for firewood. I started hearing a faint buzzing noise but put it off as a bug in the car. Then out of the corner of my eye I saw the most bizzare thing ever. It was about 100 to 120 feet away from my moms car. What I saw was a human looking creature that was about 4 to 5 feet tall with pale grey skin. Its skin was so thin it was almost transparent and it was so skinny. I saw it a total of three times and this was the first. I saw it for about 10 seconds. When I made eye contact with it everything went silent. The birds stopped chirping, everything was silent. Then it ran away. I told my mom and "J" and we thought ok we'll keep an eye out. Then I saw it again I knew that something was up there. And as I said previously it ran away, but it looked like it came from behind the stump it was standing by. Then I said, "Hey, I saw it again I think we should go up there and look around." We went up there and looked around and then while I was standing were I saw it the first time and I saw it again! It moved so quick when it noticed that I saw it. And for moving so quick it was incredibly quite. I yelled for "J" "I saw it again!" So we went over to where I saw the 3rd time and when we were talking it got really quite and voices echoed a lot more than the other places in the woods. Near the site of the first sighting we found fur that resembled rabbit fur. It was black with brown tints to it and it stunk really bad! After trying to search for tracks we figured that it was to dry for it to leave tracks so we decided to head home." Investigation summery... I spoke with the primary witness, this 12 year old girl. Very sharp, and sincere about what she saw that evening. I do not think this was a fabricated fantasy, as I could sense the fright and excitement in this young girls voice, which lead me to beleive it did happen. Besides the young 12 year old girl, there were 3 others that experinced the echo and the buzzing sounds. The boyfriend, her mother and her younger sister. Other than the echo and buzzing sounds, to my knowledge none of these individuals suffered any other physical effects. As for the two listed, I have heard about this in the similar case in Salida, Colorado, ufo encounter in which the family had the buzzing sound during their ufo encounter. As for knowing the boyfriend for over 15 years, besides being a combat veteran in Iraq, he is a sound individual and is sincere in what he beleives happen and there is no question in his mind that this girl saw this entity in the woods. All four truly beleive this incident occured and I am sure it will be a memorable moment for this 12 year old girl! We express our gratitude to Mr. Ron Wright, former MUFON Field Investigator for MUFON/Oregon, for submitting this nice report, with illustration. He can be reached at PD

Plymouth, MA
Witnesses went to his local town beach which is right on buzzards Bay with a friend. It was a very clear beautiful day as you can see clear across the bay which is more than a mile to the other side which is Cape Cod. As he was scanning the shoreline across the bay just looking at the sites he noticed a huge, blimp like object, gray with no colors, just hovering in the distance over the land. It appeared to be gigantic compared to houses on the ground beneath it, it almost could have been a mile long. It slowly moved back and forth for a couple minutes as he was still trying to figure out if he was watching some gigantic blimp or something and then it looked like it began to get smaller. But then he realized it was just turning left about 90 degrees facing down the ocean on the other side and at that moment he realized it wasn't a giant flying saucer but a giant cigar shaped aircraft of some sort. Then it got smaller as it went away from them towards the Atl! antic Ocean and quite fast indicating it was moving at a pretty good clip. There were no other witnesses on the beach that day. They literally left after the incident and they tryed to find out if there was any kind of air show that day since Otis Air Force Base was right in that vicinity. (CVMS)

Mesa (Historic part), AZ
• Went out on porch for a smoke just after 2a.m. • Saw a perfect circle of red (only) lights blinking all blinked at same time, no other lights were seen. • All the lights blinked at the same time and blinked quickly, seemed faster than any other aircraft lights blink. • It looked like it was flying on its side. Like a dinner plate on its side. • It was flying very fast, planes go over me every night, and I am in the airport flight pattern for landing. The object was going the opposite direction than all other aircraft normally go. • There was no noise; it was close enough that I should have heard it. I hear other aircraft in the same area and I do hear those. • It seemed to be flying much closer to the ground than the usual aircraft fly even if landing or taking off. • Did anyone else see it, or am I losing my mind?

1245 am june 6 from ne 162nd and glisan area of portland, or, usa i noticed a throbbing red light and additional white lights on an apparent aircraft in the sky doing slow, lazy, SILENT circles at approx 60 degrees off horizon 1/2-3 miles east of me over the columbia river between the troutdale airport and pdx. i was fairly well under it as it banked nw and noticed three white lights showing a triangle as as well as what i would say was about 8 lights under the front, but giving me the impression of a well light interior and perhaps 3 levels deep. i figure the size as 2/3 - 1/2 of that of a commercial aircraft as they fly over me daily from this residence for the last 45 years. i know planes flying over me when i see them. it made 3 large circles maybe 3 miles in diameter then slowing went north towards mt st helens. no commercial or private aircraft were seen then for about 70 minutes. unusual in itself.

My friends and I were stargazing and suddenly a flash starts to fly across the sky. It seemed as if it flew in short visible spurts, we saw four, until it flew into the horizon where we couldn’t see any farther. My friend I looked at each other and we both agreed it could be a UFO.

Lafayette, NJ
At about 9PM last evening I was driving with my 18-year old son in rural Lafayette, NJ, when my son alerted me to a light anomaly that he was seeing in the sky: one large, round white light attached to a cluster of smaller, white lights via a long beam of oval, translucent light tapering at each end. None of the lights were moving. I could only see one, large round light. As we drove in a Southerly direction, toward home, the lights remained stationery and in view until they became obscured by mountains. He and I had been attending his High School sports awards ceremony. Earlier, at about 8:05 PM, I'd taken a photo of the restaurant where the ceremony was being held (which I'll be forwarding by email). When we looked at the photo we saw that, in actuality, there were two, not one, large, round bright lights (at upper right), and two clusters of smaller white lights. And as you will see in the photo, the clustered lights appear to be triangular in shape.

Claryville, KY
It moves left, right, up, down and in a circle almost like it is looking for something. Then as the night goes on, more will show up, then the move in a formation, in groups of three. By morning there will be four to five groups and then they get into formations, they seem to be practing on getting the formation they want. Sometimes smaller lights join into one of the bigger lights thru the night. They are triangle shape red, white, and sometimes green.

Miami, FL
I was at South Beach Miami at the time of the event around 830pm. I was laying on my beach towel looking up at the sky when I saw an object moving in a strange way. At first I thought it may be a plane because I was close to the airport, but it was not moving like a plane. It would hover, and then slowly move in any direction, sometimes in a circular type way. It was too far away to really tell the shape of the object. At first glance you would think it was a bright star. There was also a smaller and dimmer object near it that also appeared to be moving and hovering. I watched them for two hours hoping I would catch it fly away into night sky or something to affirm my suspicion. There were a couple times the object moved quite fast, but for a short distance. A little after 1030pm I had to leave because the cops were shooing people off the beach (it closes at 10). I started packing my things and I looked back up at the sky and the object was gone. I started walking toward the city and I saw the two objects moving toward the city as well at a fairly decent speed. I continued to follow the objects until they stopped to continue hovering. I had to leave because my phone was almost dead. I was able to catch a little video, but it is pretty bad quality.
