Going cat fishing in jobs hollow road. Notice bright light thought someone might be spot lighting deer or something else so we went to move to another pond. We passed the pond we was going to go to so I went to turn around we noticed a a large tree had recently fell, so we got out to check it out when I looked up and noticed two bright stars then upon further review they were really close to us maybe 100 feet in the air kind of look like praying mantis eyes but white and 30 feet apart look to be one craft never made a sound look like in one window someone was standing looking down. It was moving away from our position 10 mph I got really freaked out and moved further away then it looked alot brighter the position it took was right above the pond then moved in a searching pattern. Next two weeks that follows noticed helocopters at night around 23:00 and later

My fiancé and I were sitting in our backyard, watching the stars, and he saw a very bright light moving quickly through the sky a distance away. I looked and saw it, too, and a few seconds later, the light became dimmer, and then a few seconds after that, it completely disappeared. We kept watching in the direction it was previously headed, but saw nothing.

South Kingstown, RI
Cold, dry night with plenty of stars as I stepped outside to go to my car. I looked up, as I always do at night, and saw a star like object slowly moving from NW to SE. It was dim at first, but then suddenly gave a very bright flash, while keeping on the same course. It then dimmed out, but I could still see the dark outline, like a coal cinder. It then became bright again but not as bright as the flash. It then dimmed out to the cinder like object until obscured by the tall pines in my yard. I have seen this type object several times before over the years here; same course of travel, more or less, which is against the normal airline flight path, which is SW to NE heading to Warwick, RI's, Greene State Airport. No sound was heard at all. This was less dramatic a sighting than I've had in the past, but decided to report it anyway.

I was turning onto my street coming home from lunch, and noticed a white/silver, cigar shaped, object hovering in the sky. There were many commercial aircraft in the air at the time, flying in all directions, leaving chem trails. I proceeded to pull over so I could take a picture with my phone. As I got out of the car, the object disappeared. This was not a plane. It hovered in the sky and almost appeared to "wobble."

I was talking with a friend on the phone, when I noticed red lights (a set of two) floating in the air north of us. It appeared to be distance from us, around Cape Canaveral distance. The lights hovered, then quickly darted towards the east. The object stopped abruptly, then moved back towards the West with small scallop like motion a couple of times. It then stopped again, and slowly lowered downward. At my line of sight, it dropped below tree line briefly, then seconds later shot up high into the sky again, abruptly stopping, then moving westward at a rapid speed, to then stop again make a small loop, and then move eastward again at a rapid speed. The movements were too fast and the stops to abrupt compared to a helicopter. The blink of either green or blue lights were apparent at a couple of the the maneuvers. The object dipped below the tree line again. It came above the tree line once agin and darted at a skyward diagonal heading eastward, stopped, hovered, then headed west again at a rapid speed. Eventually the object lowered straight down below tree line and out of sight. During the encounter there was no sound, such as with helicopters or airplanes.

We were out at Country Thunder (and very sober!). Saw an orange ball of light in the sky, slowly making its way across the desert south to northeast. Too high to be a floating lantern.

Anchorage, AK
Currently observing a mysterious light source beyond the distant Northeast sky. At first, I assumed it to be a sparkling star, or far away plane, but then its motion demanded more critical attention. It moves at a constant and seemingly unpurposeful rate and direction, resembling the actions of an insect (sometimes fast, sometimes slowly, back and forth, and in circles). Less frequently, minute alterations in the light distribution suggest multiple aspects but these are fleeting. The colors are indistinguishable yet alternating. It looks mostly white. It has not crossed a significant amount of sky span from this perspective, yet it seems very very far away. Its speed and fluidity is phenomenal! It does not grow nor reduce, and the light reflected by it flickers. It is mesmerizing! Ongoing, 30 mins since being noticed.

The sky was clear and had no clouds to hide it. It was very far away and couldn’t make out any other details.

Witness was driving to work down a country road and noticed a fast moving ball of light following a train track. Thinking it was a train the witness groaned, hoping not to be late for work. But looking again it was apparently just a ball of light that followed the tracks and disappeared. It seemed to disappear into the horizon toward the sun, but when it was observed, it was definitely a ball of light. There was a person in a car in front of this witness who must have seen it as well, but they did not communicate nor did the witness get a license plate number. This lasted only about 10 - 15 seconds, tops, but it was" the oddest thing I've ever seen in my life." 10-15 secs. (MUFON}

At least five line formations, several lights in each line. One in the Eastern sky made up of blue, white and green lights, the others red, orange and white. All were in straight up and down lines in various spots in the sky. Two of the red, orange and white lines were directly above one another in the southern sky over the Lithia area. Could not be captured on my phone. Made several attempts with no luck.

As I drove closer in its direction, I notice the lights for brighter, then it begin to move in the same direction as me, but it had a glide like motion. I stopped the car, then it turned around and glided in the opposite direction. This was no airplane it helicopter. I always thought people were ta ta in the head saying stuff like this, but now that I saw it...and someone else with me did to...seems unbelievable.

Fort Payne, AL
After picking up my husband from work, and driving home through the main street in town, we suddenly saw passing directly over and in front of our car a rectangular black object with the short side of the craft on both ends lit up in a red bar shape with a smaller blinking red light behind it. We immediately pulled over to get out of the car to get a better view. We were amazed that there was no sound at all while smoothly gliding past us. It then proceeded to descend at a downward angle, then appeared to go straight down. We couldn't see exactly where it went at that point because of the buildings and houses blocking our view. We spoke via telephone with the wife, and we found her to be quite eloquent, sober-minded, and "matter-of-fact," in her description of the object. We invited her to submit an illustration of the object. PD

My wife and I were in the car, stopped waiting to turn. My wife saw a crescent shaped object in the sky to our southeast, above the tree line. The sun was behind the trees. She described the object as looking like light being reflected off a mirrored crescent with a smaller object attached on the bottom. After a second or two, it disappeared suddenly. The car was not moving during the sighting.

Without using word processor. On this date, I was video taping geese in the sky and after reviewing my video, I have on the video one ball of "light" that came across the sky and when it left it created a haze around it and then left. It is not a lens flare, it is not a drone, it is a UFO for sure. When pausing the video the light has a haze around it similar to a saucer shape. Someone with special equipment could certainly enlarge this to see exactly what it is.

Albuquerque, NM
At 7:08 AM on April 4, 2018, while heading directly Westbound on Spain Road at the intersection of Spain Road and Eubank Blvd NE in Albuquerque, NM, I noticed a large, rust-colored saucer in the sky. The saucer looked to be moving extremely slowly towards the North or Northwest approximately 2,000 Ft above the Albuquerque valley and approximately 4 miles West from my location. At first, I put it off as an odd colored military aircraft taking off the same direction I was going, but the sky around the saucer became a lighter blue color in a perfect geometrical shape of a parallelogram. I thought my eyes were playing a trick on me, and I looked forward to continue driving through the intersection. I looked back up to verify what I saw, and the saucer was gone. From the vantage point of where I was, I could see the entire sky, and no object was visible anywhere anymore. I am a veteran of who has worked on airfields with every type of US military plane, and every aspect of this object was not consistent with any military aircraft I have seen, so here I am reporting this because I cannot verify what this UFO was even with my knowledge. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and found him to be exceptionally eloquent, and seemingly quite sincere, in his description of the sighting. Also, because of his background in the military, we suspect he is an excellent, and highly reliable, witness. PD

I also reported to MUFON, and email to Coasttocoastam.com. This wasn’t a u f o, but a strange “daddy long legs” type of non organic or mechanical spider entity that I awoke to and saw above me, but 2-3 ft from directly above me. It was approximately 10-12” in diameter but with no distinguishing thorax or center body, multiple non-jointed legs that were thin and translucent greyish(?) with small 1-2cm. disks on the ends of each one. I was sleeping and suddenly woke up and turned my head upwards towards it. It was stationary perhaps a second, but then when it sensed that I saw it, it scampered across the ceiling (about10-12ft.) in a straight line and disappeared at the wall. It made no noise, nor had lights. My chihuahua who was in the room did not react to it. The weird thing is that several weeks ago I had a dream about the same entity. I didn’t recall the dream until a couple days after the incident. I usually forget and write off all my dreams, as I had that one, but on 4/6 it popped ino my head while driving. Naturally, I am curious if you have received similar reports. I was fully awake when I saw this “spider” and of sound mind and body, that is no alcohol or drugs or anything like that. I gather from this experience that most of us are visited or checked out, but majority of people are purposely made unaware. We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and she seemed to us to be quite sober-minded. We suspect that she is a reliable witness. PD

A bright red light moved left, right, then left, and then faded out. Roughly NNE of Phoenix. I initially thought it was a military aircraft, but the red light was odd. Being prior Air Force, I thought it might have come from Luke AFB, but no aircraft can move laterally like that.

The witness was at Marine Park, ready to go home after walking the dog. Witness reported 3 orange lights traveling separately, but in same direction. They were in a tight formation like a line, and it was believed that they were coming from the south and were going north. They were widely separated and then they turned back to south towards Lummi Island (it is believed). Witness lost sight of the orange lights after a while but no estimation was given. Color does not match aircraft and no sound reported. Reversal of flight indicates these were not jackolanterns.

On 04/03/2018, at approximately 06:00, I observed a fast-moving object at apparently very high altitude, moving from North to South. It crossed between the two stars in Ursa Major that point towards Polaris and Polaris itself, somewhat closer to Polaris. Object appeared to be at significantly greater altitude than commercial airliners, though possibly attainable by military aircraft. It reminded me somewhat of early satellites which did not follow the earth's rotation in terms of brightness, but speed was greater. The object was too distant to determine size or shape. The sky was cloudless and dark. What caught my attention was that it appeared to consistently move at what I surmised to be several times the speed of sound, yet several times instantly “jump ahead” some distance. Distance “jumped” was hard to estimate due to altitude, but I would say in the tens of miles each time. Twice, the object “jumped” laterally as well, though I would estimate a shorter distance. I followed the object until it passed the treeline at my house.
