Bowling Green, KY
Please understand that this amazing story is true and not a figment of my imagination. I live in Bowling Green, Kentucky, in a very old and historic neighborhood in the city. I have seen and heard many paranormal things throughout my impossible lifetime, but this one was different. The time was approximately 2:30 AM in the early morning and I suddenly woke up and saw a very strange thing. There was a short human man walking down my hallway, with a large big-headed Alien entity! I know it sounds crazy, but I know what I saw! I couldn't believe it at first! This being was very tall, close to 9 feet tall, and it's head was large and massive. I could only see the entity from behind, but I will never forget it's head being so big. The ET's arms and legs were very small, like looking at sticks. I tried to communicate with this thing with no luck. The ET and the short man just went on walking down my hallway and seemed to walk through the wall. I was fully awake at the time, and it was no dream. I have seen many things in this haunted house I live in, but never an Alien! Where it cam from I do not know, but I have seen many UFO's in my lifetime. A true Story! JLG

I was driving home and on the phone with my buddy when I happen to look over on my right in the sky there was light that was hovering in the sky and it like stood there for a second then a it made a fast sudden drop. This happen back in January or beginning feburay of this year the only thing I could think of it was the Pyrotechnic Specialties Inc in that direction but something to drop that fast seem unreal.

February 4, 2018 · 7:50 PM · FLASH
Chandler, AZ
I was observing the Orion Nebula with my 8" telescope when I first noticed a reflection of an object rapidly flashing blue, red, green, white, and possibly other colors. I looked up and saw the object – it was close enough to distinguish that the flashing lights were in different positions on the object, but I could not make out its shape. I thought it was an airplane at first, but instead of it flying on a particular heading it was traveling upward and outward with a rocket-like trajectory. However, there was smoke trail it as one would expect with a rocket. Additionally, it did not emit any sound. When I first looked up, the object was about 70 degrees above the south-south-west horizon in the Aries constellation (near the "41 Arietus" star). The object traveled in an outward trajectory, heading south-south-east toward the Orion constellation, but curving downward toward the Eridanus and Lepus constellations. I called my wife out to see it, and she saw it the last couple of minutes as it was leaving. I tried to track it with my telescope, but it was moving too fast. As the multicolored flashing object was moving away it became smaller and fainter to see, until it disappeared completely between the "54 Eridani" and the "Epsilon Leporis" stars, near the Eridanus and Lepus IUA boundaries. The only difference between this object's trajectory and a rocket's trajectory is that it never "flattened" out – in other words, the object continued on a semi-parabolic trajectory, as if it were heading into space. Also, the object appeared to vary its speed, but seemed to continue at a fast and constant speed as it disappeared. It took around 4 minutes for it to traverse the arc described above, and it definitely was traveling faster than a rocket. About 3 minutes after it disappeared, a passenger jet flying west to east flew at an unusually low and flat altitude of about 1,000' to 1,500' above the ground, and it flew right over our house. It was close enough to see the passenger windows and its configuration (either a 737 or an Airbus A320). I presumed it was landing at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (aka, Williams Gateway), which is about 10 miles away from Chandler. This particular plane was abnormally low, which could suggest that "something" was detected by radar, and that the plane was flying low as a precaution.

Salt Lake City, UT
Triangle, obtuse. Barely below cloud cover. Cloud cover approx 7,000 feet. We were parked in a parking lot at 5600 South and 900 east in Salt Lake City. Black in color. Just below cloud cover knowing that because it would enter and exit cloud camouflage. Spotted by 2 of us as the object was heading South for approximately 15 miles. We both thought it was a ballon or plastic thinking it was likely in whatever wind direction at that altitude at the time. Object came to an abrupt stop directly over Murray Utah. The object stayed completely still for 5-8 minutes and then headed in a direct Easterly direction at likely 100 MPS for 8-10 seconds and came to a stop again. At times the object looked like it was spinning slowly clockwise for several seconds followed by an abrupt stillness. At last sight apoximately 20 minutes the object would waver back and forth at rediculasely high speed by what may be a Mile or two east to west. No binoculars or good enough camera to zoom in. Though at that altitude it appeared to measure 1/4" from our viewpoint if we had a measuring device against the sky. Therefore, size from our viewpoint taking in to our estimated altitude of the object would be 40-70 feet in length and 30-50 feet in width! . Though appearing small with two of us noticing the object zipping through the sky at the same time I can't imagine that out of the Salt Lake City out and about population we would be the only noticing by standers.

Mt. Ashland, OR
Reason for report: Flight of an unknown craft sighted as I climbed up the pass near Mt. Ashland, OR, ~1045 hours PT, 04 Feb 18. Sky conditions: It was a bright blue sky with a very thin altocumulus cloud layer, visibility unlimited. Mt. Shasta was clearly visible to the south when I stopped to take a photo of the exhaust trail of the vehicle I observed. Narrative: On 04 February 2018, I was driving on I-5 southbound in steep and winding terrain in the mountain pass near Mt. Ashland. I saw what appeared to be a missile launch rising straight into the sky above the terrain, distance unknown, at a high relative speed. [One of my friends lives just a few miles north of the Modesto, CA, airport: judging from air traffic approaching the Modesto Airport (on the Bay Area DYAMD arrival), the vehicle or craft I observed was flying at approximately 4 times the speed of the aircraft approaching the Bay Area from the east.] I observed a large smoke plume, semi-conical in shape, as the vehicle shot upward; there was a slight break in the exhaust trail, then another just below the vehicle. The upward part of the vehicle was partially obscured by a cone-shaped cloud typical of a craft passing transonic speed. See diagram #1. It caught my eye because it was a straight climb upward, at a very high rate of climb and speed. As I was driving in steep, winding terrain, I had no opportunity to photograph what I saw until a few minutes later, I began the descent into California. I stopped my car and took a photo of the exhaust trail which was still visible though fading somewhat. I do have an operating high definition dash camera with a f/1.4 lens which recorded the event. (Please see the DVD enclosed.) The vehicle itself (please refer to diagram #2) was highly reflective; the upper part was tapered, though not with a sharp point; the lower portion was cylindrical and seemed rounded at the base: the overall shape was cylindrical, somewhat like a gelatin capsule. I observed the craft until it reached the thin, partially-broken cloud layer above me: though the layer was not very thick and afforded a clear view of the sky above, the vehicle disappeared. I want to make this very clear: this was not a contrail of a high-altitude aircraft approaching me from the south. Those contrails are seen well above the horizon: this craft was distinctly visible, climbing at a very high relative speed, unlike an aircraft approaching at a distance at high altitude with a thin contrail. The vehicle was climbing beneath the cloud layer upward at an incredible velocity, initially leaving a pillar of smoke or exhaust, and had a cone-shaped cloud surrounding the upper portion of the craft. Other significant factors: Also visible were two high-speed flights of military aircraft, very small jets (from my perspective); there was a flight of two, flying in tight formation, and another group of three in a triangular formation, sighted when I stopped to photograph the exhaust trail of the vehicle. These aircraft appeared to be flying at an altitude not more than 50% of Mt. Shasta’s elevation above the mountain (21,000-22,000 feet?) and no lower than the peak of Mt. Shasta. What type of aircraft these were is unknown to me, but they were small, flying in formation, at high speed.

Clayton (St. Louis), MO
Going North on Clayton road at 8:49 PM 03/03/18 (sic. 02/03/2018) in Clayton Missouri. Triangular translucent craft. Extremely large. Three red blinking lights on the corners. Craft banked to the northwest slightly and moved slowly about a mile. Then the lights flicked off. 1, 2, 3 and the craft vanished into thin air. We were able to get film and photos.
February 3, 2018 · 7:31 PM · CIGAR
Alma, NE
Hoping to get a better look at the thing, I pushed through the pine boughs. Standing approximately 1,000 feet from the shoreline, I watched as this airship cruised about thirty degrees above the horizon. It was cigar shaped, and it must have been 100 yards in length—about the length of a football field, and I would estimate it was several hundred feet in diameter. At first sight, this thing was lit up like a Christmas tree. Red, green, blue, yellow, purple, all these colorful lights were shining in every which direction. Some of the lights appeared to search the far side of the shore, while other lights were pointed skyward and remained motionless. As it continued to move slowly westward, above the north shore of Harlan County Lake, I distinctly heard some sort of mechanical sound. The sound had an industrial quality, although I couldn’t see an engine or propellers or, for that matter, any moving parts. But, after several minutes, a dull gray super-structure became visible. Dotted with numerous cupulas or transparent domes, several of these looked as if they were illuminated. By my watch it was 7:31 PM, and I must have watched for twenty-five minutes before it disappeared into overcast skies. The temperature was about 30 degrees and there was a light breeze from the north. Lately, I’ve made it a point to take this route back to town, but I haven’t seen the airship again.

Ogden, UT
Walked outside my house facing due west over the northern part of the salt lake 9 bright orange lights super bright almost like fireworks roughly 4 to 5 inches above the horizon. Almost instantly apon observing the objects some seem to break apart and others seen to merge all while not necessarily falling to the horizon but also not ascending. Withing 35 seconds all but 6 where left. That's when I started recording. I have recorded 4 bright lights hanging in the sky above the horizon. As the most northern one started to disappear another began to what seem like rise. Between 5 to 8 minutes after the last object disappeared from view you could hear jets scrambling from hill air force. I have almost 5 minutes of credible film similar to the Phoenix lights tape.

Inflight (Detroit/Baltimore; between), -
The time is approximate. Flying from Detroit to Baltimore. Looking out my window and I suddenly see a silver shiny missile looking object coming right at us. In fact my first thought was that it was a missile and an “Oh shit!” came out of my mouth. When it got closer it suddenly turned up and to the right and flew away from us in a diagonal direction. It happened so fast my brain processed it as a near miss with another plane. But there were never any reports about it. And how could another plane turn away and miss us that fast? I’ve thought about it over the years as something that didn’t make a lot of sense. Until I recently saw a story about a “missile looking” UFO with a shiny silver tip sighting Then it clicked. That’s what I saw that day. I was never a believer in UFO’s. However I know what I saw. And I do believe now it may have been an actual UFO sighting.

Pawling, NY
while standing on my east facing deck I noticed an oval shaped object heading north to south, just above a tree line at approximately five hundred feet. The object was moving at a extremely high rate of speed. There was no noise associated with the object.

Corydon, KY
Was driving on the highway towards Louisville and off to the right side about 5 miles before Corydon, Indiana. The shape looked like it’s bottom was turned sideways and there was a diamond shape of 4 orbs with 2 orbs protruding from 2 sides of the diamond. They were very bright blue and then the lights started tilting as the craft was picking up speed it is currently moving east and gaining altitude. I would have to estimate the craft at a half mile to a mile wide.

Dayton (near ), OH
Outdoors on my porch trying to get decent nighttime photos of the snowy yard. Orion always has been easy to spot and when I looked up just to see if perhaps my camera (basic dslr) could get a pic of Orion, the consellation was located nearly due south of my location about 60 degrees above the horizon (may give a more accurate time than the one I listed since am not sure of the time I saw this). The night was very clear and decided to try to photograph Orion. But before I did I noticed something different about Sirius (I believe Sirius Major, the bright star just to the side of Orion). The bright star that "flashes" seemed to be doubled, with a second Sirius-type object just above it. But the lights "flashed" on the upper object more quickly and in greater number (red, green, blue, white) than those of the star. I aimed my camera at Sirius and this "twin" and began taking photos. As I did, the "twin" began to move away from Sirius, initially going higher so a definite gap between the two existed; it then moved quickly out of my camera's previous focal area, darting west (to my right), pausing, then moving downward toward the horizon slightly (about 4 degrees), then more slowly moved east of Sirius while still lower in the sky, moved back to "double" the star again by aligning beneath it, only to move again. When it finally disappeared, it was from the original position in which I'd seen it. It didn't grow dim, it just vanished and Sirius was alone. This actually happened twice, it showed again for about a minute, remaining stationary, before again vanishing. I watched for another ten minutes but never saw it happen again. This object looked, to my eyes, very much like a slightly larger "twin" of Sirius, having a steady white light superimposed by lights which "flashed" at about the same pace at which those of Sirius seem to change. The lights of the object were brighter than those of Sirius, and were red, green, blue, and white. The white of the object itself may have been what I saw when the "flashing light" turned white, I'm not sure, but the other lights all coexisted with the overall white color. I had a clear view from about 15 degrees above the horizon to the southwest, south, and much of the southeast. This object was at all times within about 4 degrees south or 2 degrees north of Sirius. It moved quite a distance west and east of Sirius, however, mostly with movements so quick I could not see it move, though several times it was slow enough to follow it as it darted left or right; once or twice it moves more slowly in this lateral direction. Its up and downward motions were quite gradual. I watched for about ten minutes, taking photos, also, which appeared very different from what I saw through the naked eye.

San Diego, CA
My wife daughter and I saw 2 lights in the sky that appeared to have tails. They were light orange in color, very bright and at first they were stationary then they moved in a slow downward zig zag motion. I have a bad picture of it and a five second video, that is very poor. Be advised that the lights were observed from my house as I was looking East. We live approximately 5-10 miles from Brown Field Airport in San Diego and I did leave a message with them hoping they have an answer. The Airport is small. Please let me know if anyone else saw this and if there's an explanation. Thank you. ((e-address deleted))

Green Valley, AZ
2018/02/01, 18:35. 31°48.23265' N 111°2.66742' W – Green Valley, AZ. Driving up Calle Tres, almost to Via Montana Vista, 7-9 identically-sized white lights, evenly spaced in a straight horizontal line, directly ahead of me, low in the sky. Notes: *The lights alternated on/off in what looked like signaling, then all turned off. I don't know if every single light turned on/off, or in what order they did so. *I'm not good at estimating size or distance, and it was dark, but my impression was that it was airliner size, maybe a 727's wingspan. My first reaction was that it WAS an airliner, but that it was far too close to the ground. Because I couldn’t see the mesquite ahead of me, I can’t guess how high up it was – it just felt “really close” to the ground for something so large. *I was driving home from work. It was after sunset - 18:35 - and the sky was dark to the west. *I observed the UFO for approximately 1 minute, driving up Calle Tres. As I stopped at the T intersection, the UFO had disappeared (lights all off). It did not reappear, that I could see, after I'd turned south/left, although it now would have been on the passenger side of my car, so would have been difficult/impossible to see if it did. *The area over which the UFO was is State Land - no buildings of any sort. There are recreation vehicle trails through this, but I don't believe there is land at the elevation at which I observed the UFO (upon which ATVs could have been gathered). And, would ATVs be able to turn headlights on/off independently? I did, definitely, see that lights next to each other were independent of each other in turning on/off. I did not hear any ATV sounds. *Sierrita Mountains are west, and just north, of my location. There is a lot of mining going on there, and a mining equipment sales area which shoots off fireworks when they make a sale. This was not fireworks of any type I have ever seen: fireworks don't go on/off at each spot of light, nor are the spots identical and evenly spaced. The known fireworks are shot off quite a distance from my location, but I can hear the reports; there was no sound. *There is a lot of activity from Davis-Monthan AFB over my area, and a lot of BP plane & helicopter activity, as well. I'm used to these, but there was no mechanical noise of any sort. There was no discernable movement, either - the line of lights was stationary the entire (albeit short) time I observed it. *I was playing music in the car, so might have missed fireworks reports, but would have heard an airplane/helicopter. *Coincidentally, a few nights later, I watched the Smithsonian documentary about the solar plane's flight around the world - there was a definite similarity to the night shots of that craft landing - the long row of lights. However, on the UFO, there were no other lights typical of known aircraft - no smaller red or green wing/tail lights, no rhythmic blinking of the white lights. And, again, a known aircraft would make noise, would not turn off all lights at once, would have exploded if it hit the ground. *I had an impression of a V shape, but that could've been subjective interpretation, since I couldn’t see any body shape, only the lights. *I don't know much about drones - are they quiet? And, if drones, why would they all turn their lights off at once? It would have to have been multiple drones, or one huge single drone. Observer: 61-year-old female. Have never before seen a UFO. Have lived in same location for 19 years. Educated, intelligent, logic-based.

Aliso Viejo, CA
Sphere ufo on toll road 73 south, appeared orange at first. As traffic approached Aliso Creek exit, sphere approached traffic with intense light shining on my car, and two others. All vehicles braked hard, felt dizzy feeling. I yelled at sphere to stop, It abruptly retracted the bright white light, and flew away. Left me with headache, two days later 2/2/2018, same sphere light on 405 n before university exit, 6am, followed me to Costa Mesa, hovered above my building as I walked in.
