Raleigh, NC
At about 22:45 last night the power went out in my entire apartment complex. I decieded to look outside and a bright light caught my eye. It was white in color and it was moving just enough to look like it was just hanging there floating around. I called two of my roomates to also look at it and they agreed it was moving but dissmissed it as a plane. However, it was not moving nearly enough to be a plane it was in the same area the entire two hours. Eventually I look outside around mid night and it was gone.

Farmington, AR
We live in Farmington on a few acres with very large old oak trees. It was about 8pm and we were letting our dog out when we spotted the aircraft. The thing that first caught our attention was that the craft at first seemed to be hovering. As we watched, the aircraft began moving very slowly from north to south across our field of view. The craft had multiple lights. I first believed the aircraft to be a plane but could hear no sound and had too many lights for a normal plane. As the aircraft moved across in front of us, I began to suspect it might be closer to us than first expected and at that point I thought it might be some sort of drone. I had a bright flashlight which I pointed at the object for a few seconds then decided that might not be a good idea in case it was a helicopter. Right after turning the light off the object began turning towards us. As it approached, I thought for sure it must be a helicopter based on the slow speed and low altitude, flying just above the old oak trees. As the object got very close to us you could hear a deep low humming sound but none of the normal "helicopter" sound. The object appeared triangular. The object approached until it was directly over us. The sound was still very quiet for an aircraft. I doubt that it could be heard more than a hundred feet away. It was moving at about the speed of a helicopter that seemed to be approaching for a landing but when directly over us turned to th! e north and flew off very slowly. The object seemed to be flying at about 75 feet high. The appearance was similar to a stealth bomber and the size seemed to be about the size of an Apache helicopter. As we watched it fly away slowly the sound quickly faded, not able to hear it at all after it was maybe a block away. I'm not sure what this was but it was nothing like anything I have seen before.

Strafford, MO
Looking NNW, saw an orangish to white light that seemed to be stationary. It changed in brightness, after looking at it for 12 seconds it started to turn white and then dimmed fast until I couldnt see it anymore. Seemed like it was about 10 miles away. Towards Fair Grove.
January 4, 2018 · 7:00 PM · SPHERE
Riverton, WY
I was by myself driving from Shoshoni to Riverton. The sun had gone down a couple hours earlier and it was cloudy, so it was a very dark night. The roads were icy so my attention was very firmly on the road. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a light to the right of my car. I turned my head and looked at it. About 20 feet to the right of my car was a glowing sphere. It was about the size of a basketball. It shifted colors every few seconds going from green to red to yellow. The light coming off of it wasn't extremely bright, but in the darkness, it stood out clearly. The sphere was going exactly the same speed as my car. I was driving under the speed limit because of the icy road. I was going about 45 mph. I kept looking over at it and it stayed in the same position relative to my car outside the driver's (sic. passenger's) side window. The ground dropped off sharply a few feet beyond the guardrail. My first thought was that there must be a parallel road down below and another vehicle that happened to be going the exact same speed as myself had a tall pole attached to it with a weird color changing light on top of it. As strange as that would be it was the only explanation I could come up with. After 15 or 20 seconds of this sphere matching my speed and direction perfectly it was becoming clear to me that my initial assumption was extremely unlikely. I decided to slow down abruptly to see if the sphere would slow down to stay alongside me. I hit the brakes and slowed to about 20 mph very quickly just as a small hill rose up between my vehicle and the object. It took about a second to pass the hill. I expected to see the sphere shoot forward ahead of me alongside the highway but it never appeared. I looked to the right to the place where the object had previously been and it was gone. I could still see the light from it, though, for another couple seconds. A green glow was reflected off of tree branches as the light moved away from the road. It seems that the moment I slowed down, the sphere made an abrupt 90 degree turn to the right and vanished into the woods. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Yes, I did mean the passenger’s side window. Thanks for the advice. ((END ADDENDUM))

In-flight sighting, WY
On January 4th, 2018, my husband and I were on a private jet flying from Seattle, Washington to Lakeland, Florida. There were four people on the flight, the pilot, the co-pilot, my husband and myself. There were multiple small screens in the cabin that showed a map of the U.S., the planes location, flight path, altitude and air speed. About 1:00 pm we were flying over Wyoming. Our altitude was 45,000 ft and air speed was around 520 mph. The sky was a crystal clear blue and we were the only thing in the sky that was visible. I was sitting in my seat on the left hand side of the plane looking out of the window when something to my upper left hand side field of vision caught my eye. Sitting there, just as plain as day, was an absolutely enormous craft of some kind. It was a dark dull grey in color, disc shaped with a dome on top and underneath. The domes were almost as tall as the craft was wide. I remember thinking that it looked rather “clumsy”. It appeared to be motionless with no apparent lights, exhaust or gasses. Again, I want to emphasize the size of the thing. Allowing for a distance of 3 to 4 miles from us it must have been at least 2 football fields wide and almost the same in height. Once again, I must emphasize how completely out of place it looked. Beautiful light blue sky all the way to the horizon, and then this “thing” just hanging there in the sky. Try to imagine if you tied two battleships together, squished them into the shape I described, and hung it up in the middle of the sky at 55,000 feet! I called my husband to hurry over and have a look. We both stared at it speechless for about a minute absolutely transfixed. He then rushed up to the flight deck and told the pilot and co-pilot to come and look. There we all were, dumbstruck looking out of the plane’s windows at something that looked totally foreign and out of place. We asked if they knew what it might be or if they had ever seen anything remotely like it before. Keep in mind, these were two seasoned experienced pilots who had flown for a very respectable company for many years. They said they had absolutely no idea what it was and that they had never seen anything like it before. We all continued to watch it as our plane passed underneath it and eventually left it behind. The rest of the flight was uneventful. Oh, we did ask the pilots if they were going to report seeing the craft and they said absolutely not. More than their jobs were worth I guess. (( We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and she seemed to us to be eloquent, sincere, and sober-minded. We suspect she is a highly reliable witness. We have requested more information. PD)

I woke up with the feeling of being watched, I sat up and searched my apartment but no one was there, I then lost almost an hour of time I cannot recall, I only remember a tall windowless building surrounded by a strange light that was a color I cannot even describe, I am honestly scared and don't know what to think.

Bakersfield, CA
I walked out onto my balcony tonight and when I looked up I seen a unusually bright star. (wasn’t moving so I figured it couldn’t be a plane). Then I looked to the left of that and noticed a more orangish looking thing that looked to be pretty close to earth. (I thought it was a drone). It was moving in different direction very quickly. Then I happened to notice another one doing the same thing. As I kept looking, I had noticed about 5 of them oddly in a somewhat perfect circle. My mother in law said they are the satellites that the rocket launched not to long ago .

Eugene, OR
I saw behind a tree about 60 feet above was a lit up long flat disc shaped object. It hovered there for about a minute then procceded to move slowly along the row of trees getting higher and higher. About 50 feet away it got lower and made a simaler sound to a boom of thunder and then it got lower and lower and zoomed off in the distance. This took about 3 minutes then it was gone. Description of object: it lit up along the whole bottom edge. The shape was like a flat disc and was ginormous and long. Its pace had no stops and went smoothly. When it was hovering it was still and the lights seemed dimmer than when it started to move. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Driving down hwy 65. Saw something rectangular shaped in sky but wasn’t moving. Pulled off next street to take photo and it was gone. I don’t normally believe in this stuff, but this spooked me out big time, and I had to share.

San Jose, CA
I was sitting on the right back side of a car. The sightseeing happened approximately at 7 - 7:05 PM, somewhere on Camden Ave and S Bascom Ave./Union Ave in San Jose, CA 95124. A small blinking object was seen in the sky, flying at unusually high speed. I first thought it was an aircraft, but again, but I never saw an airplane flying that fast. I don't know how to describe the speed, but it flew faster in the sky than the driving car. After 10-15 seconds, it disappeared. I still cannot give a direct answer what that really was. Maybe it really was a UFO, or just an aircraft flying at very high speed and then hiding through the clouds.

Suddenly, to the southeast we saw a bright white light float upwards into the clouds and then it disappeared! Then a second time it appeared and went upwards and disappeared again. This craft was not flying like a normal aircraft. The white light was brighter than any light on any aircraft I had ever seen! We did not see it again.

My mom and I went outside for a cigarette and she said do you want to see a low flying plane, so I looked and what I saw didn't look like an airplane. It was hovering in the sky and it looked like it was coming towards our apartment complex. I walked to the right, and when I looked back up to the sky, it was gone. I decided to walk back to the point in the sky that I saw the aircraft at and it was gone. If that was an airplane, where did it go? A minute later there was a meteorite that flashed across the sky. Both of us are freaked out and want to know where it went. There was a bright red light in front of the aircraft and the wing span was enormous. It looked like it was hovering in the sky. Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

I was sitting at my desk in my room watching videos. I notice the reflection of my screen in the window, which scared me. Then I notice over some houses southwest of me and I see this big ball of light slowly rising into the sky. It's about dusk and at first I think it is a helicopter reflecting sunlight, but if that were the case it would not have been such a bright solid white color. Then I opened my window to see better and I cannot hear any helicopter. And the light is way too close not to be able to hear if it was. So I keep watching and the light disappears for a moment then reappears a couple hundred yards to the left and it seems closer. Then it just disappears. So I go to sit back down, and as I turn around my Amazon Echo starts listening to me, then says, "Sorry, I don't know that one." Very odd.

Kirkland, WA
At approx 6:30am, I was standing, facing a northerly direction in Kirkland, WA. At a very high altitude I saw a bright light moving at high speed from West to East. Air traffic in that area at that altitude moves from East to West. There were no blinking lights like an aircraft would have. I thought it slowed down and then went behind the tall trees in front of us. We saw it a few times moving through the high tops. We kept waiting for it to come out to the left in the open but it never reappeared. To me that rules out the space station and satellite.

That night was the 'super-moon' and I went outside to look at the moon. Saw large object which blotted out stars but gave off no light or sound. It was stop-sign shaped. Silently flew away. Passed in front of the moon which up until that point I wasn't sure if it was really there or not but once I saw it silhouette the moon I was sure I had viewed a UFO. Several planes and jets were flying around at the time but none seemed to notice the craft. When I came back inside my two cats and one dog were all standing by the front door looking out in the direction the craft had gone. The dog seemed startled and was jumpy for the next few nights. Still cannot explain what me (and apparently my pets!) have seen.

As I drove past it, I looked in my mirrors but did not see it again. It's very possible it was still hovering, but I wasn't going to turn around as the sighting was freaky.

Driving home from pueblo I saw what appeared to be 3 rockets coming over the mountain and three more coming up on the side slightly behind them and then they vanished. They looked like large fire work rockets gold in color. I asked others if they saw on facebook and they also said they saw this. One person described it before I even described.

Gaffney, SC
Driving West and a shiny object in the sky caught my eye. I first thought it was a reflection of a plane, that then noticed the sun was due south of object and I was due east. The shininess dimmed and disappeared for a few minutes. The object then reappeared in the same exact spot. I did not notice any movement from the object like I would an airplane. No chem trails around the object. I noticed about 6 jets in close proximity of the object. Most of the jets were heading in the same direction as the object with one jet heading directly towards it. The sky was clear blue with no clouds around. The object seem small or at very high altitude.

I was driving back home from work. I was at a red light, when suddenly, I look over the horizon, I saw an oval metallic shape UFO floating/steady over some power lines near some train rail track and overlooking the chevron refinery. When I realized what I was looking at, I decided to turn around to recorded on my phone but it was too late, it was gone/disappear. But I can assure you it wasn't a drone, it didn't have any fan looking propeller or power source. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Rosamond, CA
January 2, 2018. This report is being filed from Rosamond, California. Daylight conditions: partially cloudy. Today at 10:20 AM, while traveling south bound on U.S. Highway 14, approximately between Avenues D and E, an object was spotted at an estimated distance of ¼ mile above the highway. First impressions were that it was a large bird like duck or sea gull. As I kept my attention on the object, it became clear to me that it was not a bird, but perhaps an aircraft. Seconds later, the object is now about two hundred feet ahead of my car, and moving alongside the highway about 150 feet parallel to the highway. As the object flies by my right hand view moving straight with a speed less than my 65 MPH, I can now see that it’s an object about fifty feet in altitude. The object is chrome skinned, appearing smooth, and not a conventional aircraft. I can only estimate that it’s an object about 20 feet in length with an equal height in a pyramid shape. No audible sound was heard from this object as it came at the closest position to my car. Highway 14 was unusually heavy with traffic as many are now returning home from the holidays. Others had to have seen this object.
