Garden Grove, CA
The incident occurred on 3/30/18. I was lying on my couch facing the large windows (which face west) in our living room (curtains were open). It was after 8:30pm. I saw a glowing orb in the night sky. I had seen the full moon that night but I knew it was on the other side of the house. Still, I thought, “That’s not the moon is it?” and went up to the window for a better look. I’m skeptical of UFO sightings but had to take a closer look. I ran outside. There were some wispy clouds in the east but in the west the night sky was perfectly clear. There were big trees in the way so I walked onto the sidewalk and saw a dirigible shaped aircraft that was completely glowing or lit up. The entire thing was lit up or glowing, much like the moon. In the low center of the aircraft, off to the right, was a blinking red light. The craft was flying low (although well above the trees) and traveling at a steady pace and headed north. I saw no exhaust or smoke. I walked up the street and followed it for a bit wishing I had my camera. I was completely sober. I had just come back from a Good Friday program at my church. At the closest range it was probably a little smaller than the size of my palm if held up away from me. It seemed to be going away from me so was probably on a northwest course. As I followed it I thought, “It’s probably a dirigible.” But I’ve never seen anything like it. The blinking red light has made me think it’s something from earth, since that’s what all of our airplanes have on them. But I’ve never seen anything like it. Of course, I had never seen a stealth fighter before I actually saw one. But why would the government make something that glows?

Looked out my window and saw a triangular shaped object flying silently thru the sky from the west moving south east. Moving very fast and did not make a sound. Kinda looked like flames coming out of the top. After about 3 minutes it flashed and than flashed a few more times and than it was gone.

It was around midnight when I heard what sound like a continuous vibration and I looked out my window to see a light blue oval travelling through the sky. It had multiple other lights on it and was travelling at a speed faster than a normal plane. It was not significantly faster than a plane but it was very clearly not a plane it was much bigger. This is not my first experience with UFO'S

I cannot get the experience out of my head, I keep trying to piece things together however I literally cannot remember anything past that point. Part of me is completely terrified that this keeps occurring. I cannot help but to want to know more. I need to know why this is happening how this happens why they chose me Etc. I apologize there's no more details about the occurrence. But I wanted to make a report anyway, if for nothing else so I have a record of how often this is happening.

Vancouver, WA
Tonight [here] in Vancouver, Washington, we have an apparent full moon and a sporadic cloud-cover - where the stars are clear and highly visible in between the small puffy clouds lit up in the moonlight... At approx. 9:00 am (for some reason) I stepped outside to look up into the evening sky towards the south - which would be in the direction of East Portland, Oregon (located approx. 5-miles across the Columbia River from where we live)... While gazing up into that direction (at an approx. 30 35-degrees above the horizon), I suddenly noticed a bright bluish/white sphere which appeared to swiftly leap over a small/isolated cloud in an "up/over/and down" type of arcing maneuver (while heading from a northerly position, and then towards the south, as if to hide from my view behind the cloud)... Approximately 2 or 3 seconds later, and to my shock & amazement, the brightly-lit bluish/white sphere (again) suddenly reappeared from behind the same isolated cloud, and then it leapt back over it in the same exact arcing type maneuver as before, only this time heading towards my direction (to the north from its southerly position from behind the cloud)... The sphere [then] winked out completely in an instant after retaining the initial position where it had first lit itself up from the north side of the small isolated cloud that was involved in this sighting... The aerial maneuvers that this illuminating sphere had displayed to me were definitely not of any known earthly aircraft found in today's world... I somehow got the feeling that the light had an intelligence inside of it which was controlling its maneuverability, and that when the sphere had suddenly reversed its direction towards me (in a swift/leaping upwards-then-downwards arc), that it knew that I had spotted it, and that it was merely showing-off its seemingly impossible capabilities to satisfy my lifelong fascination & curiosity for this type of phenomena.! .. I am 60-years old now, and tonight's otherworldly aerial display chalks itself up to be my 4th UFO sighting thus to date.

They travelled southeast to northeast then disappeared. Then another appeared instantly from the same direction, headed the same way then disappeared. Then 2 more did the same thing all within 4 to 6 mintues. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. For some reason we do not understand, witness indicates that the dat of the alleged sighting is approximate. Hoax?? PD

It was sort of a small V-shape, high above the truck stop. It could've been farther away because of my viewpoint from the highway. Flashed really bright for a few seconds, then disappeared. I kept trying to find it again and almost ran off the road.

Las Vegas (northwest), NV
This sighting occurred on 4/30/2018, approximately 2230 hrs., in North West Las Vegas, Nevada. I was looking out my window at the sky and surrounding hills. I saw what I thought might be an airplane, high up; maybe 200 feet. It was solid red in color. It moved toward my house, in an eastward direction. It then stopped in the air and stayed there for approximately 45 seconds. It then seemed to move away toward the sky and the image evaporated or disappeared skyward. On July 4th of 2017 at lower elevation, a red orb appeared about 150 feet from our home...stayed stationary, then flashed brighter two or three times and then took off over the top of the hills in the distance.

a prolonged low pitch sound was heard, and seemed to not dissipate. First 3 items slowly moved through the night sky approx. 1000 AGL or below, then a fourth joined the initial 3. They all seemed to stay aloft with no engine or rotor type noise. Lasted about 6 minutes, then headed off to the West from my location.

While standing on porch, in southwest sky, my wife saw a fireball and said look. She and I saw a blue circular large fireball surrounded by red and orange falling from mid sky to the horizon. The object had about 4 separated tail like objects trailing off from the main body.

I take the trash out every other night right around 10 pm when I get off work. As I do this, I always observe the skies. Tonight, I saw first 3 lights flying in a pyramid shape, with a 4th popping out of nowhere about 20 seconds in. The formation was pretty high in the sky flying SW to NE. When I first noticed them, I popped my head in the front door and yelled at my wife to come fast. She witnessed about the last minute or so. The lights were almost transforming as they flew at very fast speeds. As It was moving it changed from a triangle to a sqaure then to a diamond. As we watched it fly it seemed to just disappear into thin air. I tried to pull my phone out to record but the light from it kind of blinded me and I couldn't find it before it disappeared. This was unlike anything we have ever seen in our lives.

I was looking at the stars for a few minutes at 10 and just letting my mind wander, when I saw a blue light that was far away so that it looked like a bright star, or very distant plane. But immediately, the blue light moved so quickly through the sky and began making sharp turns such as a backwards zee and then back down. It went on like this for maybe 20 seconds and then it traveled some distance and stopped moving and the light became red. I watched it for a few minutes but eventually went back to get my phone as my wife and I had been texting. When I came back out it was in the same spot but blinking. It went on for maybe another minute, 5 minutes total max, but one of the times i looked down at my phone to text and when I looked back up it was gone. I saw a plane fly by a few minutes later and the speed was many many times slower than the object I had just seen. Totally random but I received my first reiki session today. We our right next to 29 Palms Marine Base so there is that too. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

My daughter and I were traveling I-85 S, going to school, when I saw a blueish-greenish #shootingstar or #ufo blaze through the Atlanta sky. It looked like a firecracker light similar to a sparkler. It only lasted a few seconds, then it just disappeared.

I then closed my eyes for no more than 30 seconds, when I jolted and had that dream that I was falling. I opened my eyes right away, feeling like no time had passed at all. I was sure that it was all in a matter of seconds, but I looked at the time and two hours had gone by. It was now 0309 that same night. I am sure that something weird happened, as I am the only one who saw the light and my roommate has no recollection of the light. I am a very avid dreamer, having 3-5 every night that I remember. This did not feel like a dream, nor did I have one in the two hours that passed. If anyone has had an encounter like this, please let me know. I have read that other people in my area have had the same encounter and I want to know if this has happened to anyone else. I know I sound crazy. But I am not crazy.

Prineville, OR
Was sitting in car on top of a view point and kept seeing a bright light. We saw a helicopter going towards the object and before it got close, a dark cloud hid it. When the cloud left, the object barely had a glow or shape. The helicopter started circling the object before another cloud submerged it and the helicopter left. When the cloud disappeared once more, the object was gone. It was in the South sky, left and upward from Orion.

Group of up to around 20 orange spots of light. Looking Southeast. Travelling slowly in same direction at first, but varying distances between them, then some reversing direction, then reducing in number to around 5, then all disappearing. Not moving at all like a helo or jet. Could not gauge altitude or speed but no reports from ATC.

Charlton, MA
Looking north toward the lights of Worcester, MA, no stars were visable only the moon. A perfectly round, very bright, reddish orange object appeared from the east moving west. It was slow and very steady. There was no trail. It was very bright when it appeared, crossing the sky keeping the same altitude and just suddenly disappeared. Never getting smaller or dimmer.
