Gregory, MI
Myself and neighbors have witnessed a large flash of bluish-white light, coming straight out of the sky. I thought I heard a very low, slow rumble. There is no precipitation on radar. We have amended the time to reflect a sighting at approximately 8:00 p.m. (Eastern). PD

Colorful light in the sky changing colors. Rainbow colors emitting. Has been stationary in the same spot for hours. Looked through binoculars and saw it changing colors. Possible 2-hour sighting of Sirius?? PD

Crystal Mt. Ski Resort, WA
While filming a music video at Crystal Mt., Washington, I filmed well over 50+ UFO objects in the sky behind me. Only later in editing did I discover I had witnessed an event. While I have worked in film for sometime I have no experience in CGI or the latter. All of this was filmed on my IPhone and the footage remains untouched. Link to completed music video: https://youtu.be/6TTFUcIrlkw I would recommend downloading the video at 1080p so you are able to go frame by frame and see just how many objects are in this video. It is substantial and unnerving. I will directly email some selected pieces of footage to the webmaster email address. In one of the videos I will send you will note that one UFO actually splits a light in my hair, this means that they are aware of the camera angle and are possibly doing this on purpose!

While taking a video of 2 Air force pilots at around 8:00 am flying in the Eastern sky, I captured an unidentified craft that suddenly came into the video after reviewing the video. I did not see it while capturing the video. A black shaped disk in color appears in the video at after 2 seconds from the 10 o'clock position above the lower Air Force Pilot and seems to chase the Air Force pilot, then surpasses it in flight ultimately faster than the Jet. It made no noise, it did not have an exhaust system like the jets did. Very interesting morning.

3rd time we have woke up to see a light floating in the sky. It does appear to move slightly back and forth. Seems to float almost as high as a small plane would fly. Try to watch it as long as we can before we go back to sleep. We have seen the light outside of our bedroom window, facing south.

Trenton/Grosse Ile, MI
I enjoy looking at the stars from time to time. When I was leaving my car to walk into my house, I decided to look up at the night sky. I then noticed an almost completely black figure shaped like a rectangle flying at about the same altitude as a normal airplane would, but I noticed it was traveling about 2 or 3 times faster than a normal airplane. I don't know how I caught it, but it was very hard to see. I know what I saw though. A Rectangular craft. I've never seen anything like it. Maybe a secret government plane? It was just weird. Cool, but weird. Is this a common sighting? I've seen UFOs many times before, but nothing like this

Beverly Hills, CA
The object had characteristics similar to a hugh hawk but the size of a small plane. It used the wind which was documented at 3.4 miles per hour by the US weather service. The object seemed to be shaped with sharp angles similar to a extra large hawk or F-16 fighter jet. The size of the object was 30-40 feet in length. No flashing lights. The object was 20- 30 feet in width wing span. Other characteristics was the object seemed to be alive or have a living presence. It was not a hang-glider. I felt like it knew no one was watching it. As it ascended slowly with no wind current, I called a 2nd witness and it was higher in the sky but in the same location and it remained in the same location 2000 ft in the air until dark. It was able to stay in the same location in the sky. It looked like a huge dark angel and kind of writhed in movement. It looked like a scene out of the film City of Angels, it was real in real life. Anonymous report, although it may be from a physician, or from someone who works in the medical field. PD

Cosby, TN
I was on the phone with my girlfriend who lives in Maryland. I was inside my second floor apartment and saw a copper colored glint of light over the mountaintop behind the apartment building and thought it was strange that it flew a curved path, causing the late afternoon sun (already down behind the mountain) to reflect off it. I went outside onto the roofless deck and was continuing my conversation on my new Apple iPhone 7, which I was not very used to using as I only had it about a month. I was looking at the skies waiting for the "plane" I thought I had seen to re-appear. I happened to look straight up into the sky and as I was doing so, the craft appeared out of nowhere. It was copper colored and had three white circular domed, downward facing "lights". I screamed to my girlfriend OMG, it's a ufo"! I frantically tried to get live video through the camera app, but being new to the phone, I was unaware that video is not possible while still frames are. I also did not know that you could use the power button to snap pictures. As I watched, staring straight up at it, I saw that it was moving very slowly forward, the point with one light dome leading the way. After about 2-3 minutes, it simply vanished as I was watching it. My girlfriend stayed on the line the entire time so I should consider her a second witness, although not a visual one.

On 1/15/2018, around 0533, I was standing on my back deck, observing the stars smoking a cigarette. I noticed something that was brighter and seemed to be linear shaped. It remained and appeared to have softly pulsing lights and a smaller light pulsating below and to the slight right of it. I watched it for some time and as I was looking it opened into what looked like a < shape. Then after a few seconds it closed. This occurred several times during my observation and it did not move from its location. During the episodes of v-shaped change in formation. A strange howling sound unlike any of the animals residing in my surrounding area was noted. I could not readily identify it as I can the resident livestock and other animals that frequent my immediate rural area, as I live in the sticks. This went on during the latter portion of my observation and it alarmed me, mainly the howling so I woke my oldest son and rushed him to join me on the deck to see and hear this peculiar event. After a few moments of him looking in the wrong and every other direction an airplane came across the sky left to right-heading in the direction of the object and I used the plane as a moving landmark to help him spot the object. He acknowledged it immediately when the plane and object were in a line - the plane directly above the object, then passing by. It did not change into V- shaped formation while he was observing, however it did remain linear and seemed higher and a bit farther away. The howling had also stopped and he made a remark about an experiment gone and urged me to go inside before it began again. We both at this time around 0545 went back in the house, him returning to bed and I making this statement. I thank you for the opportunity to share this event it truly was enlightening.

Claremore, OK
Got up at 5 am to go to the restroom. I looked out the bathroom window and noticed 1 very bright white round light in the distance. I went back to get into bed, but first looked out the bedroom window where I had seen the light. The light was gone. I waited and looked for about 10 seconds, and the very bright light reappeared in the same place. I watched it for about a couple of minutes as it glowed slightly changing brightness. I then watched it start to go straight up in the air slowly from the ground. Then it was gone in a blink.

Metairie, LA
This morning around midnight, I awoke a few minutes before I heard an incredibly loud aircraft pass over my home. I live in what's considered "Old Metairie", Louisiana, near the Causeway and there's quite a bit of noise outside--day and night. With the highway being so close there's constantly the drone of cars and 18-wheelers passing, not to mention I also live about 15 minutes from the airport so I'm used to hearing planes as well. Last night was different though. I woke up a couple minutes before it happened in a short coughing fit (it's flu season and I'm getting over it now) and laid in bed in silence with my dog before I heard what, at first, I thought was a helicopter approaching. I say it sounded like a helicopter because it was almost a pulsating whirring instead of a steady building of noise like an airplane. But my heart started to race because it seemed like it wasn't passing at all and instead was getting closer and louder until I certainly thought, at the volume it was at, there's no way it couldn't be right above the neighborhood. I couldn't bring myself to look outside and see; for fear of seeing anything other than a plane or helicopter, and instead I laid there holding my breath waiting for the noise to subside. After about two minutes or so it did but not without me trying to justify in my head what would have taken it so long as any other aircraft takes only seconds to pass no matter how close it sounds. I'd like to add that I also grew up on a military base so I'd consider my ears incredibly accustomed to the noise of training exercises and transport at all times of the day, but I couldn't shake the feeling last night that it was something I had never heard here before.

There was a bright light in the sky that flashed between red and white. It's shape was almost like it had a ring around it, but it then shifted into a small triangle formation. It moved in arcs in the sky and was beside the constellation, canis major.

At 6:00 pm, 4 people observed what appeared to be a rocket launch southwest of Wilmington, Ohio. There was a single craft that was large in size and had an “S” shaped trail behind it. The craft was black in color and was observed from about 15 miles southwest. I’ve searched for launch dates and I can’t seem to find one for today

At approx: 11:45am on 01/14/2018, while driving to purchase a coffee, I observed a circular object that was stationary in the sky at a relatively high altitude. The object was shiny metallic in color. The object did not have any contrail activity behind it. It did not emit a sound. It just remained idle in the sky. After trying to process what it was I was seeing, I pulled my vehicle into a safe location free of traffic, I lost site of the object. Roughly five minutes later, my girlfriend also observed the object and pointed it out to me. I saw it for a split second, then, due to the route I was driving, the view of the object was obscured by a tall tree. Moving my vehicle to get away from the obstructed view, we lost all vision of the object. We continued to search for the object for another 10 minutes or so, but the object had vanished. Its important to note, that during the observation of the object and immediately after, there was alot of aircraft activity; more than usually observed at this particular time of day. Please note, what I observed is not a hoax or a prank. I am a retired volunteer police officer, retiring at the rank of Lieutenant. As a self proclaimed sceptic/believer, I too, would be hesitant to find any validity in this report, but what I saw is exactly what I observed. I am hopeful that other people in the area observed what I observed. Thank you, We spoke via telephone with this witness, and we found him to be quite sober-minded about his sighting, and convincing. We suspect that he is an excellent, and highly reliable, witness, a fact underscored by his law-enforcement background. PD

Conway, WA
Tonite I had a possible experience but no camera on me to back it up. Driving home to Anacortes, WA, looking west toward Camano island on the puget sound over the water (note there are small airports and an Air Force (sic. Navy) base nearby on Oak Harbor) Anyway it was dark and I had this feeling. Looked over to my left and saw two bright orange lights appear in the sky. Thinking not much of it since I always see planes in that direction coming at me. A third orange light appeared. Again thinking these are just possibly commercial flights coming in. As I tried to drive and watch at same time, the three bright lights lined up perfectly together. I then thought hmm. this is looking more like possible flares. Suddenly the lights changed formation in unison into the shape of a large triangle. I said well that's not right. I found a place in the dark to pull over on a farm out in the countryside. Turned off my car, turned off all my lights. I said, well if these are planes, they will come forward or turn or get bigger, if they are flares they will fall and burn out. But no. They kept changing formation! From a large triangle, back to side by side in a straight line, to a smaller triangle, back again to even brighter lights as a large triangle, then the lights all at the same time converged together into one light, changed from orange to white, then separated again into a triangle formation. I picked up my phone to call my daughter to tell her what I was seeing, as soon as I picked up my phone, one of the lights went out, then within a few moments appeared on opposite side of the sky. Slowly over the next few minutes, the lights went off one by one. I know it was not flares, they can not change formation or zip around the sky. Could it have been planes, well they remained stationary off in the distance, with no sound. I have seen many UFOs in my life, some very up close and personal, but had not seen anything like this since the late 90s.

I saw the object move across the sky and continue its course following route 40. I took a short video but stopped recording when I thought it was not visible because of how dark it was outside. This morning I realized the object is visible in the video.

Heading to friends house while riding with him he noticed the light orange light in the sky down the street from his house. Once we got out of the car, the 3 of us stand there and watch this huge orange light in the sky off the to northwest this orange light was pulsating in the sky getting brighter and dimmer as with that there is a small object just below it that’s moved side to side and disappeard but the orange light in the sky was still pulsating. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he attested to the accuracy and reliability of the report. He stated that he has video, and will send it to our Center, to corroborate his report. PD

Romeoville, IL
I live in Romeoville. was outside one my back portch and saw in the sky toward Chicago blue flashes across sky and no way was it fire works or deplays from a light display because there were no clouds for the what ever I saw to reflect from they were traveling down and side to side in a very fast motion someone else had to have seen it, too, because it wasn't anything I have ever seen before. Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD
