Issaquah/North Bend (between; I-90 E), WA
A friend and I were returning home to the North Bend area around 4:15am, on March 11th. We were traveling eastbound on I-90, enjoying the drive with almost no traffic going eastbound. We had just passed the exit for Preston, and headed down the grade and were traveling up the rather long uphill grade of I-90, traveling in the number 3 lane. I had the cruise control on 70mph, as I almost always do when there is little or no traffic. I am a former County and Federal law enforcement officer and always cognizant of other vehicles in my vicinity of travel. I check my rear view mirror very often for approaching traffic. There were no vehicles traveling eastbound from the time we passed through Issaquah and onto this stretch of I-90. Approximately half way up this rather long grade of I-90, and before exit #25, that exits onto I-18, I glanced in my rear view mirror and was shocked to see what appeared to be two rectangular headlights right on our tail. I assumed this was a motor vehicle, and there was no noise. I quickly glanced to my right side mirror to make sure no other vehicles were approaching, and was planning on making a quick lane change to get out of the way of this vehicle, then quickly glanced in the rear view mirror, and the lights were gone. This happened so quickly, that I did not change lanes, but we did immediately slow down so I could look behind us to see if a vehicle had swerved off of the freeway on either side. There were no taillights or headlights that I could see on either side of the highway behind us. My passenger and I talked about this, and what had just happened, and I was in bewilderment. I tried to reason things out as to what had just occurred. Something in my mind was telling me that something else besides just the 'headlights' was strange, but I could not put my finger on it. Roughly 3 or so minutes later, while still traveling, I got a pounding headache in the center of my head, and this continued well into the following day, even after taking several Aleve tablets. The next day, this incident continued playing through my head, and this is when I realized that the headlights were not only rectangular in shape, but they did NOT emit a forward shining beam, that headlights are designed to do. Both of these 'headlights' were just lights and did not actually shine into my rear view mirror, but were bright nonetheless, and the rectangular shape of both lights were defined in their shape. I have no explanation of what these lights were, and neither did my passenger. Two days later, I traveled this major highway into Bellevue, and on the way home to North Bend, I carefully checked out both sides of I-90 in the area of this incident to see if there was any indication of a vehicle going off the roadway, there was none. Just a little bit about my background, I was enlisted in the Air Force, and obtained my Commercial pilot license and instrument/seaplane ratings. I have over 3600 hours in fixed wing aircraft. Rather than pursuing a career in aviation as a young adult, I chose law enforcement, where I worked with the County, as well as a Federal law enforcement agency. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and found him to be both eloquent, and convincing. His credentials as a law enforcement officer, as well as an experienced commercial pilot, speak for themselves, we believe. PD

I did not see it, only heard it. There was a loud noise which kept getting louder and shaking the whole house. It seemed to be slowly hovering overhead, not passing by, for a couple of minutes. Then it passed and there was a brief hissing sound like after a jet departs, but this could not have been a jet. It must have been flying very low to produce the sound it made. It also did not sound like a helicopter. It sounded like a huge object flying very low to the ground. I did not go look at it, as I was in bed, but I wish I had.

Manassas, VA
I was outside smoking a ciggrett, looking at the stars, and noticed a weird looking one. I stared at it for a few minuets then saw other lights on it and figured it was a airplane, i live near the flight path of Dulles Airpor, but it seem to hover in the same spot for a while. It was just a ball of light with a flashing light on it. It started to move a little bit when an airplane started going towards it, but still stayed where i could see it. Then i saw what looked like a shooting star pass by it, and another one appeared a few feet away from the other one. The second one looked like a red star and moved the same way as the other, they both just hovered for a while, i went inside to get a camara but when i came back out they were gone. I've always been skeptical but now I'm a Believer!!!! In a telephoned message, the source of the report assures us that the report is an accurate representation of the facts. PD

North Plains, OR
It moved southwest farther away behind a tree branch and I could no longer see it. I went into my bedroom and could see it out the window. Still the same just smaller, farther away. I got my binoculars and could see it more clearly. I was amazed! I watched it for 40 minutes. I went to get my phone to google it. When I came back it was gone. The sky was dark. I don’t know if it was just a reflection but I could have sworn the colored lights were streaming (not sure of the right word) toward the bottom and flashing. The light was about 60 degrees from the horizon. I live at about 1000’. The object was SW from me in the valley, toward Forest Grove area. I reported this on MUFON.

Bright orange sphere traveled from east to west approximately 300 ft off the ground. Object floated silently overhead at a constant rate of speed, maybe accelerating slightly. Considered it may be a drone, but it was extremely silent. Consulted a friend that is a drone enthusiast and they stated that "orange" is not a common color for drone illumination. They contacted other drone enthusiasts to see if any of them knew of/had an orange illuminated drone. No one had orange lights or knew of anyone with orange lights on their drones. I had seen the exact same object a year ago hovering over 410 and NW Military Hwy about 150-200 ft off the ground. There were 2 of them at that time, and both orange, but exactly the same as this recent sighting.

On the night of 3/10/2018, my husband and I were on our back porch and regarding the stars. We were both looking up and commenting on how bright they were and looking for constellations we are familiar with. Suddenly, we both zeroed in on what appeared to be a triangle of lights with the bottom missing moving across the sky. There may have been about 7 or so lights per side, I did not count. The lights looked about the same color and size as medium-large stars. It moved north west at a relatively low altitude/speed and disappeared behind the trees. I could not make out any specific body of a craft, we could just see the lights. I have seen a lot of airplanes, I know what those look like. I could see those this evening as well! This 2/3 triangle could not be explained, and I have never in my life seen anything like it. It was not normal. Whatever it was, it was pretty remarkable to see and I am happy to have seen it. Little background - upper-middle class full time business professional working mother. I have all my marbles. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and found her to be exceptionally eloquent, and unusually objective in her description of the sighting event. We suspect that she is an excellent, and highly reliable, witness. PD

Belleville, WI
A couple left my friends house at around 2 in the morning, and I was driving up on a highway, past my old intermediate school. Take in mind my friend's house is only a 5 minute drive from the school. I saw a light in the sky that seemed brighter than the rest, and it kept getting brighter and bigger. I was gonna take my phone out to record but as soon as i was getting it out of my back pack, my car started shaking and a loud humming noise started to come from outside. I dropped my phone and the light was practically taking up the view from my windshield and i couldn't see anything so i stopped my car. For a good 15 seconds my car was almost vibrating and the loud humming noise intensified. I reached down to get my phone to record but when i looked up the humming stopped and the light was gone. My car was farther up the street than where i originally thought i stopped my car when the light appeared, which left me confused but i assumed i might've let my foot off the brake and moved forward a bit, but my car couldn't have gone that far as slow as i was going, especially up hill. At this time i was really confused as to what happened, i thought maybe a plane or trucker came too close to me and just shook my car. But it lasted almost 20 seconds. I also noticed it was almost 2:15. and i swear i left my friend's at 2 am, so i don't know how 10 minutes passed that fast or what even happened.

Ashtabula, OH
Short (3.5'-4') grey skin tone, (2) to my right side (I was unable to move my head). At least (1) to my left, as I will explain later. I was laying down in the truck at a Pilot truck stop about 9 miles south of Ashtabula, Ohio. I always cover my windows to keep all lights out and lock all the doors. I had backed in, so the front of my truck was facing the storefront. Typically, I'm out by 11:30 pm, but I kept getting a ringing sound in my right ear and was having trouble with my knee (previous injury, unrelated). The last thing I remember is starting the truck around 12:30 am to let the heat run. Then, it seemed almost instantly I'm floating on to a table. The table felt high up, maybe 5-6'. I couldn't move anything. My head was turned to my right shoulder. It felt locked there. I was overwhelmed with fear and could feel myself attempting to cry out for help. Two very small 3.5-4' grey skinned creatures were to my right that I could see. Everyone describes gray aliens different than these guys looked. Their entire body was stubby their heads were almost too short for their eyes, which were very large like other people describe. It was more over the shape of their face that look different than typical photos you see. Where are the photos you typically see show them elongated in the face, these two look like it was almost smush down and like they were squinting with wrinkles between the eyes. I couldn't speak or cry out, but I started to realize what was going on, so I thought in my head (best way to describe) for them to please help me relax. I understood what was going on but I could not calm down. Once I thought that, I could move my arms. So I reached out towards one with my right arm and it held my hand. I did the same with my left arm and although I couldn't see it something grabbed my left hand. Their hand was very soft warm but cold, and felt kind of like a toddler's hand feels (smooshy). Once I was holding with both my hands I could not stop smiling. I was completely relaxed and all I could feel was happiness. The one holding my hand on the right I believe is the one who was talking to me. It asked if I was sure that I wanted to remember this time, and I told it I was not sure, but I was unsure of why it said this time. It was then that I realized that I've been visited several times, I believe th! e first time was when I was five. I recalled a small devil like creature coming through the wall to my room. I had a bunk bed with no bottom bed, and it just floated straight up to my face. I immediately screamed, my dad came running in and found me in the far corner by my closet door. Being a kid, I told him the devil came for me. Now that I'm older I realize it wasn't a devil it was one of those creatures. The next instance wasn't until I was 9 to 10 years old. As I was going upstairs to bed I stopped at the Landing. Outside of the window there was a saucer-shaped disc silver in color almost Gray with a large orange Dome on top of it. I thought that I had immediately went downstairs to get my dad. But when I went to go get him to tell him what happened he asked what I was doing still up. Apparently I had been upstairs for almost an hour, I thought it was only a matter of seconds. After telling my dad what had happened, he grabbed or old VCR camcorder went upstairs with me, and videotaped this craft which was still hovering outside the window! After about 10 to 15 seconds, it shot off and was gone. My dad went downstairs and called Airborne Express, which is the local DHL type company that was in business at the time. He reported the incident to them as well as Wright-Patt Air Force Base. No one reported seeing it they said that nothing was showing up on radars around that time and that it was probably a coincidence. However the next morning when we woke up nothing was on the tape whatsoever. On top of that we had a large pine tree outside of that window. It was laying on the ground and completely black on one side like it immediately burnt partially and then died. There was no other scaring to the ground anything like that. Enough of that back to the present. So I'm laying on the table and I can feel other hands around me on my legs my arms my ear, and then I feel a hard pressure around my genitals. Like a pump, but with pain like a heat/pain. I'm completely distracted while all this is going on though because the creature to my left is now alone it's just me and him with my view. He's telling me all kinds of things about meeting me in the past, but I can't recall what he was saying. I do recall him saying that I would forget things if I wasn't ready, and unfortunately he had no control over whether or not I would remember. He could only allow me to remember what I wanted to remember. About the time that I really calm down and stop feeling like I was going to have a heart attack, everyone was gone. I woke up in the truck laying on my back on top of my blankets. The truck was still running, but every light on the dash was lit up and alarms were going off on it, so I shut it off thinking it was overheating. I turned it back on a couple seconds later and everything was fine. The whole ordeal did not come to me until after I realize the truck was okay. I immediately started freaking out, and then I heard the same voice again telling me everything was okay remember what I could he would see me soon. I feel like possibly over the years I have developed a friendship possibly with this creature, but I'm not sure of that. Honestly I'm not really sure I even believe myself, however I can tell you that those other two instances definitely did occur when I was younger and I always wanted to know why they happened. I've always had a interest in Aliens, but nothing more than any other young boy does. I've never fantasized about being abducted I've honestly been freaked out about the thought of it, so I don't think that My Mind is Playing Tricks on Me or that I had a dream. Another good note to add is I do not think that these creatures had a gender. The only reason why I say that is the voice in my head that was talking to me did not appear to be male or female. I did wake up with a slight nose-bleed my right nostril, I had a headache and continued to have a headache all day. I had very irregular bowel movements and uncomfortable feeling inside my penis almost like pressure in! ternally. I do not drink alcohol. I do not do drugs. And to the best of my knowledge I have no mental illness from either side of my family that is known. I have never been a sleepwalker, and I don't tend to have very many nightmares. I wish I could remember more of what happened. Although I would definitely be terrified if this occurs again, I hope that I can be more open to it when it does though. I know they will be back because I recall the creature saying it would see me again soon. The beginning of the encounter was very intrusive and it felt embarrassing. They seem to just do what they needed to do, and then they comforted me. I will say that I agree with others about the whole pure love feeling. I definitely felt as though it possibly genuinely cared about me. I'm not entirely sure that it did, but it was a very comforting feeling. One other thing I do recall it asking me was if I remembered them fixing me when I ruined my ability to reproduce. I didn't answer then that I'm aware of but I think I know what they were talking about. When I was on a deployment to Iraq, we would restart the radars standing in range of them. We were warned if we did that we could become sterile. So I used to do it everyday joking that I did not need to have any more kids, as I had already had 3 at the time. I did wake up several nights with nosebleeds in Iraq, but in my opinion I believe at least most of those was due to the desert air. I hope my story has helped and some way shape or form, and I would love anyone can give me any information to hel

At first I thought maybe it was light reflecting off a plane, I've seen that before. This was different. Even though it was extremely bright it was more than just a light. It had shape, I could see that it was spherical. Just as I thought, "Oh my God, that's a UFO not a plane" The light got brighter quickly then slowly faded out. It disappeared. I pulled over and stared at the spot for a minutes waiting for it to reappear.

Gilliam, LA
Filmed a unidentified object at 530pm on 3-9-18 . The object was stationary at about 60 to 80 feet above ground; it was about 1 to 1.5 miles away. The object was about 200 to 300 foot long and of a very reflective silvery color with 3 reddish pink and orangish lights on top. There was no sounds and the birds and other wildlife stopped making any noise. I live in the country about 26 miles from Barksdale Air Force Base, where the video was filmed is open farmland. The object did not have any exhaust emissions coming from it as far as I could tell. It did not move or fly away as crazy as this sounds it was in my visual spectrum and then it was not. If anyone can shed any light on what this could be it would be greatly appreciated

I estimate the sides of the craft to be about 250-300' long and probably about 20-40' high - it looked the size of a large box store up in the sky. The outside or "skin" looked to be absorbing the street lights off of Ford road as they reflected off the street and illuminate the bottom and edges of the craft but the light looked to be absorbed which provided a strange visual of the light moving along the "skin" kind of like when you heat up a piece of metal and at the part of the metal that is being directly heated being a darker color and then as you move away from the flame location the color changes - almost like a mirage or it was absorbing the light shining on it. The craft made zero noise or sound. As we cleared the sound retention wall on S 275 we expected to see this huge craft parallel to us but it simply vanished.

Gold Canyon, AZ
Thursday 8 March 2018 - Gold Canyon AZ - approx 6:50 pm. I was driving N on Mountainbrook Dr. into my subdivision. I noticed a bright orange glowing orb hovering over the houses. It was about at the same height as one of the small mountains in the background (the Superstitions). It was not moving at all & was low enough that this was easily discernable. I stopped my car and groped for my phone - i watched it as i exited the car, but by the time I got to the curb it had already begun ascending straight up into the air - then just disappeared. On this part i could be wrong but it almost appeared as if there were a closed net hanging from the orb. It disappeared before i could get a picture. I returned to the car and drove home - all the while keeping an eye on the sky. The western sky toward Phoenix was just turning dark. There was light cloud cover over the entire area

Watched it a few minutes to see if it'd move, which it didn't. Had this weird, creepy feeling like I never felt before that it was watching me. I went in to get binoculars to try get a better look. When came back out it was gone.

Wasilla, AK
I didn’t go anywhere or do anything I normally wouldn’t do. I was standing at my window smoking a cigarette and as I was putting it out I looked up and saw a air vehicle that I thought was a Cessna, that was entering my field of view from the left. It was over the back of Wasilla lake when I saw it. It moved slowly like a plane and seemed to look like a concept vehicle at over a couple thousand feet. It had a red light you would see on the wing of a plane and an engine sound. What I couldn’t focus on for a moment was when the engine quit running and I thought it would crash. It was a sound effect of a plane that stopped. It turns towards me and begins to bring the bottom of the craft upright as it’s approaching. As this occurred, I put my hand up slowly over my heart and away in front of it. There was one slow turn until it stopped about 40 feet in front of me. I acted like shaking its hand and returned my hand over my heart. As I looked it over, it was floating in front of me pointed parallel to the building I was in and not at me; it had a cross reaching all the way to the sides with no unnecessary markings except for the red light. This red light was situated on the top part of the cross which represents intelligent action in the way it was on top since it turned towards me from the lake. I was a few feet from my phone but I was stunned to move naturally and I had my gf sleeping in bed right next to me. I didn’t want to wake her. After about five minutes as it seems to be off to my right like presenting me with an award or something, it starts to leave to the left, slowly and in the same position it was in last. Professionally, it seemed it was checking on a post nearby. I have experience because I’m a veteran so perhaps maybe I was more valuable than the regular person. It was excellent and exciting to witness and I had love in my heart and it made sense to me. I’m not cruel. Nothing around it was moving, and it became stationary when it stopped. I didn’t have the motivation to do mo! re than witnessing this astronomical event.

So I took out my phone and caught it on camera. Except this time, they where doing the disappearing/reappearing thing in a circle motion, going slightly down. There was at least 8 of them at one time. Then they all disappeared. We have received six photos from the witness, which show very small specks of light, against a dark background. We do not know what the lights are. We have corrected the date above, to reflect a sighting on the evening of March 7th, 2018. PD

I asked my husband what it was, he said he had no idea! Almost immediately the lights disappeared and became one large flashing light that would seem to be a very large aircraft, which then completely disappeared. There were several aircraft that we spotted around the same area at the same time. My husband nor myself have ever seen anything like that before.

While lying in bed observing the early morning sky (I have a passion for watching the night sky, stars, aircraft flying to/from Logan Airport, occasional meteorite ) from my bedroom window ... I observed first a flying object approaching from the south west toward north east sky..my first thought was that it was the International Space Station ..then my thoughts were that it seemed to be smaller in shape and it had an orange glow but the speed of the object seemed to be the same as the Space Station...I could only view this object for mere seconds (perhaps 10-15 seconds) because of my window view. Then a minute or so later while still watching the sky, a second object appeared, travelling from the south west more to the direct east...this object was the same shape and color as the first object but seemed smaller perhaps higher in the atmosphere but travelling at the same speed as the first object.. as the object was about to enter the blind view from my win! dow, it made a rapid turn in the sky , flying back toward a western flight path.. this object then accelerated at a rapid speed and this object was immediately gone from view. That morning, I was anxious to check my computer for a notification from NASA on the schedule viewing of the International Space Station but there was no viewing for that date nor a time for that date in the area of my zip code.. There were no blinking lights on neither of these objects... They both were moving at a high rate of speed and obviously beyond the height of the Space Station..

It moved fast but not quite as fast as a shooting star. It also had no visible tracer or trail behind it. It lasted just a few seconds before it disappeared behind some mountains. Did anyone else see this??? Possible meteor? ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Hi Peter, The object was traveling slightly more in the south east direction. Hard to tell as I was rounding a curve on the freeway. This object seemed to be larger than the size of a star in the night sky, but much smaller than the size of the moon. The object was also about the altitude of a aircraft (or higher) as it flew out over the cascades and disappeared out of my sight. It didn't seem to be ascending or descending but more of a straight level path across the sky. It also had no fragments tailing behind. It was almost an orb type ball of light. It left no visible trailings or tracers behind it. It did not appear to be a fire ball, as to what most people report as meteors. It didn't seem to fizzle out or burn up. It simply just flew out of my view when it went past the foot hills. Seemed very odd and gave me an uneasy feeling, along with goosebumps. I hope this helps describe the event. I am happy to answer any other questions you may have. Thank you, ((name deleted)) ((END ADDENDUM))

While walking our dog my fiancé noticed 6-7 small round lights flying in a perfect "V" formation. He said do you see that? And pointed above in the sky. I immediately noticed the perfect V formation of 6-7 perfect lights flying in precise formation. I thought it was a commercial airline, until I noticed there was no sound, and the speed was not normal. As I followed it, trying to get my camera/video recorder open on my phone, the formation changed. These lights were so close together and so symmetrical until they changed into a "Y." Unfortunately, I didn’t get my video or camera open in time, before they went behind a huge oak tree and disappeared. We obviously walked around in several directions trying to find them and we couldn’t. We both said if we had seen this alone we wouldn’t believe what we seen. We also live in a well lighted area actually a medium size city. We are also located by a decent size airport so we know that this was not normal to say the least! There was a airplane that was landing and passed very close. No way air traffic control would allow
