Me, three friends and my friend's mom were in the car on the way to get food. We saw a shiny weird object in the sky, and it wasn't really moving much, and there was only one of them at the time. It was a horizontal cigar shape, and it was white/silver. It wasn't were any plane could have been, and it was too high in the sky for it to be a balloon or sign. We aren't exactly sure how long it stayed there, as we were in a moving car and eventually it was out of view. It also appeared to be pretty far away, so it could have had lights, or it could have been moving more if we observed it up closer.

Harpster, OH
Odd shiny reflective cone shaped crafts with appendages off their bottom. 2 crafts, one was closer. It hovered descended and then ascended and vanished fast, both disappeared at the same time, though they were at least a mile apart. Clear blue skies, I'm sure others saw this event as well.

8 May 2018 about 12:15 EDT afternoon. Sunny sky. Driving north on I-81 just north of Jearoldstown TN. A hovering or extremely slowly moving “commercial passenger jet” in appearance pointed about south. I’m driving about NE at about 60 mph uphill. It was a bizarre looking passenger jet, looks most similar to an Airbus 320. Grayish white skinny fuselage. Deep blue fan jet engine cowlings under wings. Deep blue under wing panels. It yawed in erratic motions to point in the general direction of my truck. It was either moving way below stall speed or it was hovering. No aft wing flaps deployed. The leading edge wing slats were deployed between the fuselage and cowlings but not outboard of the cowlings. They kept retracting and deploying or changed shape somehow and erratically. The fuselage was too skinny to be an Airbus. I first thought it was a predator drone but realized it was not that shape. Where the front cockpit glass should be was a thin black line. It slightly rolled and yawed in jerky motions. It was not a hovering propellor drone. But it appeared to be a fake somehow, about 1/2 to 2/3’s the size a commercial jet should be. I drove under it on the highway with the thing either doing less than 30 mph or hovering as our speed differentials were no more than about 100 mph. I estimate it AGL at about 1000 ft. No nav lights, no livery markings, no N number. The bizarre leading edge inboard slats were not normal in shape or function.

I was outside, looking up at the sky toward the south east when I noticed two dots of light moving very fast toward each other. They were very close to each other. Just as they would pass each other their lights went out. Reason I decided to report was because tonight (08/12/18) i was again looking toward the south east sky this time trying to spot meteors (even though its a bit early at 9:00pm). I notice a bright light in the sky that I assume is a star until it slowly blinks out. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Newport, RI
Cigar-shaped object with white, green and red counter-clockwise traveling lights, in that order, seen in the air over Narragansett Bay, in the area of Newport Bridge & US Naval Base. It slowly traveled the same short route five times, from west to east & returning to the west. On the third trip east, it was half way and appeared to go north towards Bristol, but immediately returned south and headed east, again. On its 5th and final trip, headed east, it disappeared from site.

Someone then came out of a building in my complex and the green light started turning red and moving, taking about five seconds to change, and then flashed very quickly, and it was completely gone.

I live in the country. Was laying in bed could not sleep I sat up in bed looked out my window, there was a strange orange light that appeared like it was hovering over a dairy a mile away. I grabbed me set of binoculars, started watching it and realized it was moving towards me. So I jumped out of bed grab my binoculars and two cell phones so I could take a video. My regular phone went dead and my Obama phone took a very very poor video. When I stepped outside my door where it was very dark outside this craft come over the house it was moving at a steady speed had three big circular like thrusters on bottom triangle shaped and three or four big Square like thrusters blue on the back as it went over. It just flew off going from east to west and then about five minutes after the fact there was a red lighted aircraft that appeared to be one of ours, and its same path just was real strange.

My sister and I were driving a back road. A green beam from 3-5 miles away shot a straight beam at us. My eyes still hurt. It repeated 7 times at first it seems it was a lost hiker. I pointed me headlights at the light and turned them off and on. The light appeared to climb the mountain side very quickly. The it became 2 light sources. Sudden flicker appeared as stardust, then again back to a green beam. I flashed a flashlight in flames of 3 hoping for more communication. And only a faint light remained then disappeared. The event lasted about 30 minutes. This was not my first encounter, just a new experience!

It was 21:40, and when I finished my outside work for the day exhausted I went to bed when i had the feeling i was forgetting something (kind of like when I forget to turn the gas off on the stove - that is how I felt) I immediately assumed that forgot to lock the animals up. i was worried that some varmint was attacking the chickens and other fowl (as times before when i have forgotten) I grabbed my boot without lacing them grabbed a flashlight of the kitchen table ran out of the house(21:44) down the stairs toward the animal enclosures pausing briefly,listening carefully for the crowing and yelping, ready to run back in case of my fears being true, to get a weapon. when to my right I saw a huge circle in the western sky traveling from north to south in an arc type pattern the sphere was bright bright orange ( also when I first spotted it it appeared to have a single red light in the middle the red light seemed to move on the craft from the middle to the top then the light was no longer visible) the object made no sound heard no engine the whole place was quiet nothing made a sound-scary silence I have never seen any thing like this, nothing i have ever seen flying has ever been this bright this big and traveling this fast. I was stunned I went back inside right away (after I checked the locks on the doors which i did forget to lock) i was terrfied honesty at what saw. i could send a map of where i was where i was standing where it was at ect but i am only availible by mail (ill be lucky if my email accepts mail because it is governed by the computers at the library and i dont have a phone i hope this report is useful please contact me for any additional information you might need

Around 9:30 pm, I was at the car, putting my shopping bag, in the trunk, and happened to look up. I saw an object go your over the car, that at first I thought was a falling star, as I saw one a few weeks ago. I continued to stare up at it and it kept fly past. It was very high up, so it couldn't have been a satellite, nor a drone. It was completely silent, had two discs on the left side with a space between them, and one about the middle of the two other discs. The discs were not lit, but kind of a reflective beige color. I watched until it disappeared, which was fairly quickly. This object was traveling East, coming from the West, and traveling in a straight, calm line. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) I just submitted this claim, but realized I wrote it was very high up, I would like to edit that. It was NOT very high up. Thank you for your time. CORRECTIONS It was traveling low, from West to East in a straight calm line, completely silent. No lights, but looked kind of like a reflective beige color. A total of three (3) discs, two on the left side with a space in between, and one disc on the right side, positioned about center of the other two (2) discs. Around 9:30 pm, I was at the car, putting my cloth shopping bag in the trunk, and happened to look up. I saw an object go over the car, at first glance I thought it was a falling star, as I saw one a few weeks ago. I continued to stare up at it and it kept flying past. It wasn't very high up, so it couldn't have been a satellite, or a drone. I watched it until it disappeared, which was fairly quickly. ((END ADDENDUM))

This light has been see raising up and seen as a bright white light in the past and the colors could have been atmospheric the last two nights, though the sky was clear. Possible sighting of Venus, or Sirius, we suspect. PD

I was watching what I thought were a couple of helicopter lights, when they flicked off and on and seemed to fly very erratically. The lights moved very fast and moved back and forth. I have never seen an aircraft move like that. I then saw about 6 of these lights flick on all at once when all the lights went out I didn't see them anymore. The lights reminded me of how lighting bugs but they were not lighting bugs.

We saw three flashing lights over my neighbor’s house. They were flashing out of sequence. These lights form a triangle. and the lights themselves resemble the lights of an airport runway but very bright white. I started filming and call my wife, so she could see what I was seeing. My camera was acting up. As soon as I called my wife they started to move away very quickly. After that I went to check my film, but it was corrupted. I could not open it. I went online on YouTube to see if it could be fix. I was able to save some of it, but it still was very damaged.

Witness noticed an object with blinking lights moving at an incredibly high rate of speed and zig zagging through the sky. It would stop abruptly and then accelerate covering large distances. It also went straight up. (Video taken) Observer was standing in hisy driveway facing west when he first saw it. When he last saw it, it was in the eastern sky. It basically travelled the north in an arc around his position. He first noticed the object due to the pulsating lights and the erratic movements. It was also traveling incredibly fast. Witness is confident that it was not an airplane or helicopter or blimp or any other flying object that he had ever seen. It was reportedly very high in the sky, appearing to be at an altitude of an airplane. He lost sight of the object after it traveled to the eastern sky beyond his line of sight.

On 06 May 2018 at 21:55 EST, I was walking South in the 5200 block of Madison Ave. in Indianapolis, IN. Mildest haze, no clouds, visibility 8 / 10. I saw a yellow/orange ball of light at approximately 15-18 degree elevation in the Southern sky. It appeared to have ignited, burned increasingly brighter for one minute, and slowly extinguish over the next 3 minutes. It wasn’t visible at 22:00 EST, from my perspective. If the object had the appearance of motion, I would have thought it was a paper lantern. I estimate the distance from 6 miles to infinity.

Talbot, OR
I was driving south on Interstate 5 and spotted object with 4 lights, outer lights white and inner lights blue, all lights flashing in sequence left to right. Spotted the object to ESE of the freeway at or around mile marker 248. Object hovered at first but then moved in a very slow fashion toward ESE direction. Could continue to see the object, which moved very slowly up until mile marker 236 where it became obscured by lights of the city of Albany. I estimate that the object was about 300 feet in altitude. It appeared to be flying much slower than an airplane and it was too big to be a helicopter. I felt like I was looking at the back of a large wing-shaped craft but as I stated, it moved too slow to be any sort of plane.

The craft or object was completely silent as it moved slowly in the sky. It was only visible for around 10 seconds before fading out into the nights sky North West/West. As far as the location of the craft or object, it was about South/South West of Zero St. heading towards Northern Oklahoma/Arkoma.

I was out for a girl's night with my friend, we came back in an uber around 1:00 AM. We pulled up to my driveway and as we were getting out I saw a bright orange flash of light fly over my house. I yelled to my friend to look, and as she did, a second one flied in the same direction. We had both had a few drinks so naturally we just played it off, even though I was slightly frazzled at this. About a minute after this had happened, the power in my house flashed and went out. Then I can hear my dog, Chris barking like crazy. Me and my friend then went inside, flashlight in hand. Chris is standing in the doorway, teeth bared, barking like hell. When we got in the living room, I shone the light and immediately saw a figure standing in the middle of my room. It was person shaped but it was very skinny and tall with long arms. I screamed so loud and my friend grabbed me and we ran outside. Chris stopped barking sometime around this time. While we were outside (for a! round 25 minutes) We saw the flash of light fly past in the opposite direction. Then when we worked up enough courage to go back inside, stiletto in hand as a weapon, The figure was no longer in my house. I was not able to sleep that night but nothing like that has happened since. When got up the next morning, the power was back on. I may have been a little drunk but both me and my friend are absolutely positive of what we saw. After that day, Chris started to get very hostile. He would bark all day, bit me several times, and just acted crazy and nothing like the sweet dog I knew and loved. He had to be put down yesterday after he killed a smaller neighborhood dog. I don't know exactly why he snapped, but I'm positive it had something to do with what I saw that night. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

We suspect that the possibility of stars and planets would have to be ruled out, before we conclude that the objects are genuine UFOs. PD

I was in my yard and a star proceeded to move approximately 7 inches in the sky, southwest to northeast, revealing a triangular shape expanding and shifting into position above my location, seeming to nestle into the constellations appropriate to its configuration. It seems the second dimension, at a distance, illusory in nature, formed a geometric transparency. Shortly after, a bustle in the woods convinced me to retire to the indoors.

We believe that Venus would be on the ecliptic, in the western sky, and it would be quite visible, as the Sun continued to set in the west. If the witness did not see two bright objects in the western sky, we assume that the one object he witnessed probably was Venus. PD
