Me and a friend were walking at about 8:45 and we saw a big black circular thing in the sky. She said its a UFO then we saw it get even closer and even faster. We were both surprised and scared. The lights on the craft were blue and white. We know this was not a plane becuase why would a plane look like a big black circle.

Whilst smoking a cigarette a craft was seen ascending from the ground. First it was assumed to be medical personal or military in origin. Craft materialized from a bright light, and was not at first identified as the object in question. Then the object, over the course of several minutes, worked its way over head of the observer/narrator. The object was easily 50 feet in length with different color lights on the ends of red blue and green. It was circular except for the north and south ends of the object having a jagged and horizontal edges. Object stayed straight moving right passed the observer, until it faded into the distance. No upwards movement was observed, and the object quickly faded from view. It did have a noise, and was not silent. However the object did move awkwardly for a b52/757 style craft.

I am not one to assume anything strange upon first seeing something out of place. I generally assume there is a logical explanation for almost everything that can be observed with the naked eye. Tonight however, I witnessed something unusual and inexplicable. I was fishing at a local pond facing northward when I saw 3 lights obviously at high altitude. Living near airports growing up gives you a unique frame of reference. They were either three objects moving at very high speed in formation, or a single massive object. I could see most of the stars and constellations over me, to the east and to the west, however, their were hazy clouds in the distance where I was facing and after 2-3 minutes it began to become obscured by those clouds. I have witnessed this many times and would have thought little of it except without a drastic change in the objects heading there was a major clearing not far to the east of where It disappeared. I watched hoping to get another look thinking I might ascertain what it was, but it never reappeared. That is the point at which I reached the conclusion that this was not something normal, nor could it be explained by logic or common sense. The lights were steady, with an equal distance between them however as far away as it was that distance appeared as if it could have easily covered a football field between the each light. There were no flashing lights, there were also no sounds which was also very strange. I have witnessed hundreds of passenger jets fly overhead and their are distinct characteristics. I saw both but the solid lights moving rapidly until the vanished and there was never a sound.

While lounging by the pool, my father noticed a brilliant, sphere shaped object traveling very fast from the east, headed northwest. In comparison to plane traveling close by this object was moving much faster. I was able to take a photograph.

Dade City, FL
At approximately 10 pm, 5/27/18, my wife and I departed a relative’s residence in San Antonio, FL, to return to our home 6 miles to the east in Dade City, FL. As I stepped out I noticed what I thought was a very bright star, brighter than any other stars in the night sky. I commented how bright it was to my wife and two relatives. We began to question if the object was a star, and noted that the object was moving very slowly. One of the relatives got their binoculars and each of us used them in an effort to identify the object. Each of us said the object appeared to have some type of very bright white lights surrounding its entire surface, with my wife’s sister describing the lights as being arranged in a diamond pattern. We continued watching the object for about 5 minutes and then my wife and I headed home. Upon arriving home 15-20 minutes later, I looked toward the west and spotted the object. It was moving very slowly toward the north, at about 40-50 degrees above the horizon. I attempted to photograph the object using a telephoto lens, however, without the aid of a tripod the photograph is not sharp, and is not a good representation of what 4 of us observed. I watched the object until it disappeared beyond the horizon.

Last night on an evening bike ride with my fiance, we saw objects steadily heading up into the sky. I counted 8 in all. We saw a helicopter approaching than turn away. Others on social media heard helicopters over auburn for 3 plus hours around the same time, no one found out why.

My sister and I were outside around 10:50 p.m. testing out a thermal monocular I had recently purchased. I spotted several birds resting in trees and a raccoon climbing a tree. I heard a plane flying overhead and tracked it across my field of view with the monocular. After it had passed from view, I remarked to my sister that I could see different insects flying around the treetops. While observing the insects, I had an object come into my field of view for a total of about 6 seconds. My sister couldn't see it with her naked eye. The object, shaped like a tic-tac was rotating end over end and covered my field of view in 6 seconds. The jet I had observed earlier in the same field of view covered the distance in about 55 seconds. The object was traveling North west in a straight line from the South East. It had a faint glow to it in the Thermal monocular. I had no problem tracking it. The rotation was smooth end over end. I've spent another 2 hours viewing that night and saw nothing that resembled the object. I've watched the space shuttle fly over on its descent to land several times before and the tic tac object was moving faster.

My roommate shouted for me to come out on the deck and take a look at several lights that were rising up into the sky. I live on a hilltop, and the alley slopes downward, toward a creek with woods, a park, an inn, and a campground. Venus was clearly visible low in the northwestern sky. These objects were brighter. When I first saw them from the deck, they were shining a deep gold, turning red or orange as they rose higher. They were moving into a formation that appeared to match the constellation Orion. I ran back inside, grabbed my camera, ran back out, and started jogging down the alley to the north, taking pictures as I went. I came to a vacant lot and saw that there were 10 in total. They had broken formation. One began to turn pale, then white, and shot off at high speed to the west. The nine remaining objects began to drift apart. None of them moved very fast, but I did observe upward and downward hovering, lateral movements, pauses, and a few sharp turns. As they were drifting apart, they too began fade, first turning pale yellow, then white, before completely disappearing. Just before they disappeared, a residual haze or aura remained for a few seconds, before dissipating. I walked around town (very small, population 200) and saw plenty of people sitting outside around campfires or tinkering in their garages, but nobody had been looking up. I walked through the campground, but from that vantage point, a heavy canopy of elms and cottonwoods would've obscured the view. Nobody was launching Chinese lanterns. I took a few photos that may be useful. I was able to capture the color changing process, which reminded me of the following quote from John Keel's Operation Trojan Horse: "In a majority of all landing reports, the objects were said to have turned orange or red before descending. When they settle to the ground, they 'solidify' and the light dims or goes out all together. On takeoff, they begin to glow red again. Sometimes they reportedly turn a brilliant red and vanish. Other times, they shift through all the colors of the spectrum, turn white, and fly off into the night sky until they look like just another star." I've seen them in this area before. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Hello Peter, I called the hotline shortly after you left me a message about the date of my sighting, which I'd mistakenly entered as June 26. It was supposed to be May 26. Thank you, ((name deleted)) ((END ADDENDUM)) We have amended the date above, but it is only an estimate. We have attempted to contact the source of the report to confirm the date. PD

I had a clear view of a firework show that was a distance away. I noticed a solid red light sitting still above the mountain to the left of the fireworks. Living in an area surrounded by mountains, I just assumed the red light was an airplane signal tower and thought nothing of it. As soon as the fireworks ended the red light started travelling in a straight line to the right at a pretty fast speed. Another firework then went off and without stopping or slowing down, the red light changed directions and moved to the left. The light then slowly changed to a bright green then back to red before disappearing. It seemed to be watching the firework show.

Driving on thehighway to Bremerton. my boyfriend and I saw a group of lights about 5 or so in a triangular shape. There also was one light that was quite a distance away from the group. The light moved twords the group(we couldn't see due to trees and buildings).these lights were moving. Compared to the stars(wasn't really many but it was a clear sky) they were so bright two of them where a yellowish tint. The others were bright white. We saw this our whole drive (15 min).the lights were over Port Orchard, pretty low.

Didn’t notice a sound until watching video them could hear a definite Mechanicsville sound on video similar to a “ray gun”. Several people thought they saw something same evening in area but we are hesitant to put it out there to others.

Huntington, NY
Over Long Island. A Piper PA-32R Saratoga (N161MA) was flying over Huntington, Long Island during a trip between Minute Man Airfield in Massachusetts and Old Bridge Airport in New Jersey when the pilot encountered a strange object directly in front of his aircraft. He called air traffic controllers stating "I have an object in front of me, I don't know what it is." The controller replies "You mean like a drone or something?" The pilot responds: "I don't know if it's a drone... It's bigger than a drone." The controller responds "Ummmm, I don't show anything on radar." The controller then asks if the object is at his same altitude, the pilot responds in the affirmative. Then the controller asks if the pilot needs to make a turn to avoid the object and the pilot requests a slight change in direction. The controller then queries the pilot to report what he thinks the mysterious craft is as soon as he can. The pilot respond! s that he has no idea what it is and it has since gone behind a cloud. "Definitely something was there" the pilot states. The controller seems oddly adamant that they should assume it was a drone, stating "Ok, I mean, we'll have to assume that it was a drone, that's the only, I mean I don't know if that's the shape assumption or not but I guess that's what we will go by." The pilot responded, "Actually, it looked, uh, like it had lights on it." The controller responds "That's uh, really interesting, uh again, I show nothing on radar so I don't know what to say." The pilot then states "Ok and I know I'm not delusional." The next transmission we hear is from the controller asking the pilot to call in and make a report with specifics about the incident once he lands. He notes that the request is from his manager. The pilot quips "this is the first time I'm getting a phone number that I'm not in trouble!." The controll! er laughs and affirms to him he is not in trouble. He then pas! ses him the number and says they will be awaiting his call. The Piper stayed at about 6,000 feet during the cruise portion of its flight. Weather that day included clear to partly cloudy skies with the temperature in the 80s and benign winds. (The WarZone, June 19, 2018) http://www.nicap.org/match/audios/May-26-2018-1630Z%202.mp3

Bright light I’m the night sky. Didn’t move or blink. After about 8 seconds it shimmered and disappeared. No clouds around it. I was driving for work and noticed it. I’m always looking up to try to catch something because I have been training in the field of remote viewing. This is the first time seeing anything since a sighting about 8 years ago.

Witness was enjoying the beautiful orange cast of a colorful sunset, upon the landscape in his rural yard, including dense trees. The treeline starts 200 to 400 yards away. He was seated on his deck facing east. A quiet time since there is very little traffic on his road and the birds were settling in for night. A fast moving object caught his eye above the trees headed directly west into the sun. It was a beautiful brown metallic structure. The intensity of sunlight made it shine and revealed shadows indicating layers of metal. It was submarine shaped only with sharper rectangular edges defining its exterior. It did not have an intake opening for jet a engine. It did not have a propeller. It made no noise. Silent and fast. He did not have time to grab a camera. His cellphone was in the house as he liked to enjoy nature without electronics. Just prior to this siting a bald eagle flew directly over the open part of the yard heading northeast almost at eye lev! el since their house is on an elevated part of the property. The navel base at Keyport, WA was lowering their flag just prior to the sighting. (MUFON CMS 94857)

Chardon, OH
We noticed an object flying in the sky from west to east that look like a normal jet with a secondary set of wings up front. The wings up front were smaller than the wings in the back. This object was flying low at 5 to 10k feet and it was abnormally loud at a lower frequency, almost like low level rumbling thunder. We both tried to get cell video, but it was so fuzzy you couldn't tell in the video. I searched all over the net and could not find one example of anything that looked like this. It was not refueling in mid-air, only one body was sighted.

I was sitting in my garage when I noticed a shiny object slowly flying in a south southwesterly direction. There were no lights on the object. While observing the object it VANISHED for about 30 seconds to a minute. Then the object reappeared, and seemed to hover for another minute then VANISHED again. I tried to observe the area for about 10 more minutes but it did not re-appear

May 25, 2018 - at the hotel at LAX heading home from the week at the Space Tech Expo. It was 8:00am. I was in my room looking out my window, north, aircraft were coming in on final approach to LAX. Right to left. The sun was bright to my right from the east. It had rained in the early morning and my window was littered with droplets. Off to the west over the channel about 2 miles away, there were clouds with frequent breaks to blue sky. I was scanning the sky for any anomaly that didn’t fit the normal airport traffic. Hoping to spot something before going home. So, was it my imagination or did it really happen? As I looked at one particular blue patch in the clouds, I noticed a short yellow streak of light ascending at about 30 degrees from right to left (north to south) could have been several miles away and 3-8,000 feet altitude. I was focused on that spot and then I saw another and another in the space of about 2 seconds there must have been maybe 10 separate streaks in the same location close to each other but occurring separately. I thought hmmm, probably weather anomaly or some kind of refraction from the rain drops, I went to finish packing to go to catch my flight. About 8:30, just before leaving my room, I took another look in the same general area and as I looked, I saw a streak just like before only this time for the period of maybe a minute, I only saw the one. Seemed weird, but maybe I saw an exodus of a few UFO’s. it was too far away to make out any craft, only the streaks. Hmmm

Around 0125 while approaching my destination in New Johnsonville, TN, I noticed in the NW sky a shiny object with a trail appear to come crashing to earth. Not sure of size or distance away, and did not appear to be a meteor. I am an Army Veteran of 16 years as well as ex law enforcement in n the public sector. Just hoping someone else out there may have witnessed it as well and give a better detail.

Orange, MA
Visiting my family at the home where I grew up, after everyone else in the house was asleep, I was sitting on the back stoop, in view of the woods. Feeling calm and peaceful after a day of meditation, I silently (in my head) invited any ships in the area to reveal themselves. Within roughly a minute, a chevron (or triangular/boomerang) shaped object appeared over the woods, partially obscured by the tree line. I counted five green lights on the bottom of the object, which glided up slowly from the point of materialization at an angle that allowed me to view its full shape. Viewing this object, I felt a sense of joy and reunion. However, when the question came into my head, not as words, but as a feeling, inviting me to meet the occupants of the object, it came with an intense energy that was familiar in a sense, but like nothing I've experienced on Earth in my conscious memory. I was reluctant to feel fear, but I almost immediately knew that I wasn't ready to have a physical encounter. I declined, telling the occupants they could go if they wished and thanked them for trusting me. Almost instantly, the object dematerialized. I sat outside for a few minutes before going in for the night.
