Driving north on Jackson, maybe 10 blocks from Trenton Rd. Saw a metallic sphere and fumbled for my camera, but it seemed to late but I took a few pics anyways thinking maybe it cloaked. Didn't check the images till way latter and to my surprise after a little enhancing there were two sphere like objects I caught.

Kea’au, HI
Object seen after an earlier sighting of exhaust/trail of exhaust in the sky. Seen on a clear day several miles away. Object was seen darting in from the left skyline moving with extreme speed towards the right. Object seen only after viewing replay of clip several times due to the speed object moved. Object is dark in color and is a single object. Military helicopter flew over area after object disappeared. No audible noise due to distance of viewing.

I always sit outside every morning. This morning the birds got quiet as a sound got very loud. You could literally feel the sound and the light wind went quite. I grabbed my iPad to snap a picture but nothing could be seen as it was cloudy. The sound just started above me and went north and south a few times. Almost as if I could hear it creating a circle above me. Very different than an airplane or helicopter. I did take video of an empty sky and it still haunts me as I listen. In the past 4 years I hadn’t heard anything like this.

Moore, OK
I was outside brushing my dog, when I heard and extremely loud noise overhead. I looked into the sky facing west. I had a patio roof directly above me so had to step further west to look straight up and above me were three red blinking lights. Each light took each own turn to blink. There was no variation in speed between the three lights. The noise was extremely loud. The lights seemed to be only about 1,000ft above me. I ran to the backdoor to call my husband outside. He ran out and we watched the lights fly off into the distance heading west. I have never seen anything like that.

Marysville, WA
At nearly 10:30 pm on May 23, 2018, I observed a small, white light, high in the E/NE sky near Marysville, WA. At first I thought it could be a satellite, (way up there,) but it slowly, gained speed. I then noticed a brighter and much bigger light, in front of the object. They appeared to be moving in tandem, same heading, (East to North East,) same speed. I was at that time, gauging distance (Are these lights at as high of an altitude as I think?) Then the two objects passed far above a very high, sparse cloud. It was then that I was surprised as they gained speed, one following the other. Their incredible speed was not consistent with my knowledge of military or civilian A/C capability. Then the trailing object stopped and its light dimmed abruptly. (I thought that it had disappeared, so my eyes followed the other object.) The much brighter, larger object continued down the horizon. After following the path of the bigger light with my eyes, I looked back (up) at the area where the smaller object seemed to disappear. I observed what appeared to be a star but was not; the object then brightened and moved off in the same direction as before. I served in the USMC Air-Wing in the 1980's, and I am an avid aeronautics observer. I have seen many things in the sky that I have brushed off but this was different, I have no clue what this was or even what it could have been.

Muncie, IN
I work a late shift at Ball State University’s Bracken Library (6PM – 3AM) and while I was talking a walk outside during my lunch hour at approximately 9:40PM I was suddenly overcome by an unexplained chill. Although it was 70 degrees Fahrenheit, I began shivering and my teeth were chattering as if I was walking outside in freezing winter temperatures. At that moment I looked up and saw a brighter than a star solid white light very slowly moving steadily from the southwest towards the northeast. Thankfully there were three airplanes in the sky as well. The airplanes were obvious due to their familiar flashing lights and shape definable by their security lights on the tips of the wings and tail. The object I saw was no airplane. There were no flashing or pulsing lights and no sound. It just a bright solid white light a little bigger and brighter than the surrounding stationary stars and it steadily moved very slowly across the entire arc of the sky in a straight line from southwest to northeast in about two minutes. After it was out of sight my experience of the chills ceased and it felt like 70 degrees Fahrenheit should. Although I mysteriously developed the chills during the sighting, I can report zero feelings of apprehension or fear. In fact it was as if I had no feelings about the sighting at all (and it is my fourth UFO sighting in my 43 years of life).

I have lived in the top floor of an Apartment Building I own in Echo Park for 15 years with full views of downtown L.A. and I see helicopters and planes flying all the time. Today, from the distance in broad daylight, I saw what I thought from afar was a helicopter but moving so fast. I kept watching it as I never knew a Helicopter could fly that fast and in just a few seconds it got to just above my house and I could see it was a round circular, stainless steel looking object. My sister was with me watching and said "maybe its a drone" It was too fast for a drone and round solid stainless. I looked on the internet to see if anyone else saw it and I came across this article and the object I saw looked just like this reported in broad daylight in 2017: https://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/851194/UFO-aliens-police-helicopter-Los-Angeles

Park Ridge, IL
During my workday. I watch a departing airliner traveling north out of O'Hare at 8:15 am at maybe two thousand feet and climbing. I noticed to the west of the departing aircraft an object traveling east. I thought that there was a potential conflict (incursion) developing with what I thought at the time were two aircraft so I continued to watch. The flight that left O'Hare continued on without incident I continued to watch the object heading east and coming towards me wanting to see what this object really was and realizing it was at a higher altitude. As it approach I could faintly see a solid object then a reflection of sun turning it into a bright pin point of light much like a star. From my vantage point, I would say this object was a mile north of O'Hare at an altitude of seven to ten thousand feet when it stopped and stayed in place. I could not make out what I was looking at. The weather was mostly clear with just a few small clouds around the area After minutes in place it moved south towards O'Hare about a mile then slowly climbed all the time looking like a bright star. I have no idea what this object I witnessed was. After this sighting, I noticed that departures to the north stopped. I thought that air traffic control may be trying to figure this out. I called my wife to tell her about this incidence and that she may see something on the news. I would like to call O'Hare about this. I watched this whole thing for probaly eight minutes. Very bizarre, very puzzling. Perhaps military security surveillance. I am very much into aviation I am not making this up.

On 5/23/18 at 12:53a.m. an unknown flying object was caught on home security surveillance system. The well lit object Observed by myself, and just like the previous night before, an unknown object was hovering above my upper field gate. Same location as before. Movements were observed based on a fix position. Sighting lasted approximately 1 hour and 5 minutes, before flying away in a WNW direction.

I saw a bright green glowing sphere that morphed a bit and traveled low to the ground along the golf course and homes in my neighborhood. I was able to take some video footage of what I saw. I was on my bicycle and I followed the object for about 5 minutes as I lost sight of it for awhile. I rode my bike around the blocks in my neighborhood trying to regain sight of it again and ended up seeing it again hovering over some homes in my neighborhood. It was right above my house at one point and then drifted over some other people's homes before I lost sight of it again. This object had NO sound and NO one was piloting it and it was very bright green and it morphed slightly as it moved. The color was bright green and the lighting was so amazing, unlike anything conventional I have ever seen before. My phone's video camera doesn't do it much justice compared to what I saw in real life, but I am thankful I was able to get at least some partial video footage of what I witnessed, even though there is about 15 more seconds of activity that I observed before I was able to get to my cell phone camera.

Alright so I got footage of this glowing yellow object in the sky, changing directions and shooting downward super fast. Well, the video will explain I really don't think that this an an airplane

While traveling northbound on I-65 today heading toward Louisville, I saw a bright light flashes. The light resembled a star. It was high in the sky. The light flashed distinctive times in 3 places far apart in the western sky. I had on HD type sunglasses at the time I saw it. I could not see any craft such as an airplane that might have reflected the sun. Also, the speed and distance between the flashes seemed to me to rule out an aircraft.

At12:38a.m. on 5/21/18, my son noticed in our security cameras a hovering white object, which appeared to be directly over our upper field gate. While watching it, on the system we noticed only slight movement. We had used a fixed position to establish location in reference too in unknown flying object. The point of the unknown object did over an hour change, all this is caught on security cameras. At 1:30a.m. the unknown object did fly away in a WNW direction.

North Myrtle Beach, SC
(Video linked at the bottom of full sighting description) We had multiple sightings this night. Each sighting was the same reddish-orange color, with a duration of between two and ten seconds per sighting. There were no booms or any other discernible sounds accompanying any of the sightings. There was little movement observed – perhaps a slight drift but the lights seemed to be mostly stationary. There were also no aircraft observed during the sightings, but several jets and helicopters were observed approximately 10-20 minutes after the last sighting. The first sighting was about 9:30 p.m. My mom and I were on the hotel balcony and we witnessed several extremely bright “orbs” that lit up over the ocean for approximately two seconds. They seemed to be fairly close to the shore. I saw four, my mom saw three. This was by far the brightest sighting of the orbs we had that night. Unfortunately, I did not capture this sighting on video. The next two sightings occurred at 9:35 and 9:38. I captured both of these on video. Each of these two sightings were of what seemed to be a solitary orb ejecting another orb. The original orb would fade out and the ejected orb would eject another orb before fading out. These seemed to be much further out over the ocean – maybe as far out as a mile but difficult to say with certainty. At around 9:43 another appeared. I was trying to mount my camera phone (iPhone 6s) to the tripod while filming and accidentally switched it from video mode to picture mode. I ended up with several blurry pictures, but one that was somewhat clear. I included this picture in the video. I didn’t get a very good look at this orb as I was frantically trying to get my phone mounted. The last sighting was around 9:50 and it seemed to be very far out to sea. It blinked out just before I had the chance to get any footage of it. My family has been vacationing at Myrtle Beach for years. I had heard that this was a UFO hot spot and I had always hoped to see the strange light phenomenon the locals were talking about. I never saw anything out of the ordinary in any of my previous vacations there. I guess I just got lucky – because this time I did! Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyKjZcDflh0

We were staying at Dunes Village. I had taken my grandkids on the beach with flashlights to look for seashells. They were attempting to catch small fish in edge of surf when I glanced up and saw two orange with varying degrees of yellow and orange globes or circles coming in off the ocean very fast. I started screaming for them to look because it looked as though the objects were coming right at us. The kids looked but weren’t very concerned but I was scared. The objects appeared to be right near the shore and then they just disappeared. I went back to the room and searched on internet to see if anyone else had seen the lights and was surprised to discover that they had been seen for years.

CRAFT APPEARED AS A SUPER BRIGHT BLUEISH WHITE LIGHT MOVING NORTH OF MY ADDRESS. I PULLED OUT MY BINOCS AND GOT A LOOK. IT WAS A DISC SHAPE WITH A HALO ALL AROUND IT. THE LIGHT WAS AS BRIGHT AS A ARC WHEN ONE IS WELDING WITH ARC WELDER. WITH IN 30 SECONDS OF ME VIEWING IT WITH MY BINOCS, IT JUST BLINKED OUT AS IF ONE SHUT OFF A LIGHT SWITCH. THE SIGHTING WAS 1500-2000 FEET. WHAT SURPRISED ME JUST HOW VERY VERY BRIGHT IT WAS, SO MUCH SO IT HURT MY EYES TI LOOK AT IT AND IT WAS EVEN MORE PAINFUL WITH MY BINOCS.I STILL HAVE A FLASH BURN ON MY RETNA AS ONE DOES WHEN A FLASH BULB GOES OFF TOO CLOSE TO YOU. I CLOSE MY EYES AND I HAVE GHOST SPOT IMAGE. I HOPE IT GOES AWAY, IT STILL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. FYI, MY FIELD OF SKY LINE VISION, IS UNOBSTRUCTED 20-30 MILES LEFT OR RIGHT OF CENTER. MY SO AND I BOTH WATCHED IT FOR 2-3 MINS BEFORE IT JUST BLINKED OUT. MY SON YELLED OMG IT JUST BLINKED OUT..

Columbus, OH
Approximately 30 minutes into my flight from Columbus, Ohio, to Dallas, Texas, I saw a shiny white ball with an opaque, white "finger" type cloud behind it, connected to the ball, coming toward the plane. It was very close to us,right in front of the right wing. Behind it,perpendicular to it and the plane, was what looked like a jet trail that we can see from the ground. (It was dissipating) The shiny white UFO, for lack of a better discription,"flew" without any fins or propellers. It flew along side us until we flew too far to see it anymore, its trail dissipating like a jet trail.

gf and I spotted "star," like object in the night sky that began gliding in the night sky seamlessly towards the east, and once the spacecraft passed of the mountains and out of sight... 40-60 Seconds later, a extremelely fiery bright "comet-like" object shot from east to west, streaked completely from east to west until disappearing over the western mountains. The obejct appeared to be wrapping around the horizon as i chased until i lost sight. Also noticably throughout there we no aircrafts during the entire sighting of the spacecraft, and moments after the craft streaked through the air, 2 airplanes with regular airplane jet noises and lights flew over as if the experience never happened… (( Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Ricetown, KY
Various (many) sightings over the past month of multiple lights at night in forest behind home, flying in yard, over house. Third year in a row, starting usually around 10th of Apr lasting maybe 3 wks, multiple lights weaving in & out of trees in forest. The lights react to noise, speech. They will come close to humans. The lights are usually white/yellow in color but at times are lime green, sometimes red. When rain appears the lights will rapidly ascend to disappear in sky. I have not noticed any sounds coming from the objects. I am not the only witness on my property. Also, a neighbor with no prior knowledge of my sighting these lights told me of his very similar experience in a nearby farm home he is renovating. This is a heavily forested area, a ntl forest. The objects appear brown/gray in color and seem to be the size of a computer mouse or smaller but when passing by my security light do so hastily as if not wanting to be seen for more than their light! . I believe this is worthy of a closer look as the lights are not shy. I have not seen propellers, antennae or any other protrudence from The lights. The lights maneuver with incredible agility amongst the trees and appear to be curious about people. A neighbor claims knowledge of a downed craft/object as reported by a third party. Also I have video but not of good quality.
