I couldn't make out the shape of it but the light was circular, with a small trail behind it, but not like a meteor. It was too big to be an asteroid or a meteor, and to fast to be anything from earth. Where I live I see a lot of commercial airlines fly overhead at night, but the light that a commercial plane gives off pales in comparison to the light of this ufo. I was astounded and my friend in the passenger seat saw it also, he said he was able to see a! shape within the light, but it went by so quickly, it was hard to make out an exact shape.

Sometime during Saturday early in the morning I experienced something. The best way I can describe this is when you are sleeping and someone is moving around you you can kind of sense it and it wakes you up. This happened to me and as I slowly opened my eyes everything was a bit blurry and I saw three figures. One standing above me into that appeared to be monitoring a wall that look like it was full of different small screens or something. It was difficult to get any detail because the moment I open my eyes and caught a glimpse I felt thrown back and then I was back laying in my bed and I could not move. I tried to call out to my girlfriend laying next to me but all I can make was a small noise and my eyes closed and I was back asleep again. My girlfriend recalls hearing me make a noise that night. The following day she showed me an article showing unidentified flying objects over Lexington County. The article describe this as about a half dozen Jets but there were no crafts that were supposed to be flying at the time according to the reports. My conclusion, I've always wanted to believe that aliens were real. And what happened that night seemed so real. I believe it was real.

Today we experienced a snow in and we are currently sitting inside with candles due to a power outage. My family and I have seen about 4 blue lights flash over the sky within the past 35 mintues or so.

Hornbrook, CA
For the past 2 nights, between 9-10 pm PST, I've noticed what I thought was a bright and twinkling star near the bottom left of Orion. Both times, this bright light appeared to hover and subtly move in different directions, diagonal movements being most noticeable. It stayed in the same little area and didn't make any sudden movements at all. It appears to flash multiple colors and be extremely far away. I pulled out my phone to use my SkyMap tonight, to see if there was a corresponding planet or star, and the app kept malfunctioning.. Which is unusual. From where I am at, the light was straight in the direction of Mt. Shasta. I thought maybe I was just tired last night, but when my friend saw it tonight, that confirmed it for me. Both nights I watched it for a good 10-15 mins before I got too cold and went in.

Another then appeared on the horizon, identical to the first. Soon after followed a triangle of three lights. Finally another single. All were below the clouds, @ perhaps 10,000 - 15,000 ft. They traveled in the same direction, stayed on the same course, did not lose altitude. Eventually they appeared to dim and almost burn out. But stayed on course. The entire "event" took more than five minutes but less than ten. It is a cold, dark night, approximately 8:30 pm EST. I'm not sure of direction, but I believe they were moving south to north. As the last object was disappearing, an actual aircraft flew overhead- easily identifiable by the "normal lights" and sound. It did not appear to be chasing the objects, but it did reinforce how foreign the previous objects in the sky seemed. I took a few pictures with my I-phone. They of course didn't capture what we saw very clearly, but they are all I have to share.

Fredonia, KY
On Friday night, at approximately 8 PM CST, my sister and I witnessed 13 large (presumably military) aircraft flying in what I would describe as an offset straight line. They were flying one after the other, but not directly behind each other. One would be on the right, the next would be flying just off the former's left wing, and so forth. Each plane had a blinking red light on the end of each wing and a single static white light in the center of the plane. The planes seemed much quieter than usual. Although they were flying relatively low, we could only hear a slight drone or slight humming noise. Once they were no longer directly overhead, they were silent. When they were far enough away that someone could no longer see they were actually planes, they just looked like a large number of blinking red lights in the sky and it was EERIE and STRANGE. I have NO DOUBT these were at least some of the red lights you all have been sent reports of from wit! nesses all over the country. While I believe these conventional craft triggered the mass sighting, the sheer number of them, the pattern in which they were flying and their relative quietness were definitely strange and should be investigated in my opinion. I live close to a large military base and witness maneuvers year-round and at all hours of the day and night. I have NEVER seen anything like what I say Friday night. It was NOT normal in any way. The planes were flying in a West-Northwest direction, heading toward Missouri.

As as we were driving down Irwindale Ave., the city of Arcadia/Monrovia, we saw a "GIANT WHITE CIRCULAR OBJECT," It was as I it was landing in the rock quarry right near there. We saw it disappear and go in the quarry. There was a security guard working there and looking down, as if he had seen it . If you have any questions you can reach me at my Email.

Hawthorne, CA
On December 8th, 2017 Friday night. I was sitting in my car facing west as I noticed red lights traveling together in a cluster of 5-6 lights gliding together. I looked around and saw airplanes traveling towards airport which is the opposite direction. The lights traveled low enough for me to hear a craft sound flying above and as each light disappears one by one until all gone I could hear the sound shut off until all you heard was the sound of people and cars. A min later I could see helicopters or small planes flying around way different that the huge cluster of lights spread apart. I immediately text two of my friends to log the time I saw the red lights and I also drew what I saw on a blue piece of paper with red lights. After hearing other witnesses come forward I knew I had to account for my Experience.

Independence, OR
On December 13, 2017, at 4:58pm, this investigator was contacted by a relative through Facebook messaging on a sighting in the Independence/Buena Vista area of Oregon. My cousin, 25 years in law enforcement sent a link from one of his contacts on Facebook for me to look at. December 14, 2017 @ 4:32pm This investigator called the Independence Police in Independence, Or. I spoke with the officer on duty and asked if anyone had called in about lights in the skies over that area for the last week on the early evening of Dec. 8th, and had mentioned to her several cars were stopped looking at the lights in the sky, she checked her log and nothing was called in for that period. The following is both the post from main witness and our conversation through messaging on Facebook on the encounter. FRI. December 8, 2017, at 6:36pm · "There were several in the sky as we drove into Independence this evening but this one was HUGE and people were pulled over watching it. I need to keep a camera in the car because my phone just doesn't cut it." SAT. December 16 2017 7:46 pm "Hey, I'm afraid I can't really give you a lot of info about this sighting(s). We live in Buena Vista about 7-miles south of Independence and we see different craft with various light formations. The most common is as described in the second message you sent me. They are either clusters of red lights or actually appear to be in a square or rectangular pattern. There are others that are clusters of both red and white lights but none have green. This first pic was taken with my iPhone 5-s and I didn't even realize the image was there for several days. I didn't think it had come out. It was taken just outside of Independence, Oregon, on November 21, 2017 at 7:05 pm The next three were December 8th at 5:34 in the evening. The light at the bottom is a house. The large light in the sky state stationary for a long time while another small light (seen best in most distant pic) circled it. This last one was one of the red cluster lights but it was so far away I didn't get a great pic. This one was taken Thursday December 14th at 6:57 pm. I see these things pretty much every night so should you ever want to come down with a good camera I would be happy to point them out. Sorry I can't offer more information." SUN December 17, 2017 1:35PM "Hey, the saucer shaped one (I swear I can see faces in it) was taken from Buena Vista road (they all were) I was close to the community of Buena Vista and facing north. There is a small range of hill there and consistent activity over them. They would be in far South Salem area but are north of Buena Vista. It's so hard to judge distance, not knowing the size but that night I thought it looked like, "a big one" so he stopped the car and took the picture. Now as I look at it, I'm feeling as though it was much closer than I thought and smaller than I was thinking. This one had a combination of red and white flashing lights and I did not notice the shape until I saw the picture. The other two were also taken from Buena Vista Road only they were moving slowly from just south of Independence, over to BV and then across the Willamette River heading towards Jefferson. Each time my partner is with me. I mean it when I say we see then almost every night. We are both spiritualist who work with a variety of clients, primarily as spiritual counsels. I am not surprised that you know others who have seen them. Honestly, we've been shocked that more people don't because as I mentioned they seem to appear very regularly. I do find an interesting correlation in our work and their constant presence in our skies around our home. I know that sounds crazy to many but.... what can I say...lol I'm going to try and take a little better camera out this evening and see what I see I hope I answered your questions. Have a great day!" SUN December 17, 2017 9:35pm "Just returned from our nightly trip to Independence and unfortunately I wasn't able to get a pic of the one we saw tonight. It was the square light pattern in the same area, north of Buena Vista. I see this next week is supposed to be clear and cold, which should be nice viewing conditions. I'll keep you posted on what we see." WED. December 20, 2017 7:42pm Recieved a call from witness on this day. I went on to ask some specific questions about the sightings. As the witness had seen these strange lights on several occasions, the most objects at one time was 3. One large light in the sky had small lights circling it. At one point beams of lights seemed to connect the smaller ones with the larger object. The encounters were silent, no sound was from the objects. Military helicopters were seen and heard in the areas on one occasion. There was also a surge in power outages in the area. On the December 8th sighting, besides the 2 witnesses that had pulled over to the side of the road, three other vehicles had also stopped and individuals exited their vehicles to watch the lights. The main witness did mention that he could see 'figures' in the windows of one of the craft. Witness estimated the closest craft was maybe 1/4 to 1/2 mile in distance. The longest duration of any of the sightings was estimated at about 15 minutes. Investigator's closing notes. I am familiar with that area in the Willamette Valley, farm land, cattle, small ranches, logging and a country community. For years I have heard stories and even myself witnessed un-explained lights in the Falls City vicinity in 1979. So, this area of the Willamette Valley has been a 'hot spot' of un-explained lights in these areas for years. What is interesting about this witness report is the square windows and or lights seen in their encounter. When I just posted a photo on my Facebook of one of the photos, another cousin came forward and said he had seen some lights that same week in December, either the 5th or 6th hovering out over Salem as he was looking west. What is intriging about his sighting was that he mentioned 'square lights' just as the witness in this report did. (My cousins report will be filed later this week) Military bases in Oregon. Kingsley Field, Klamath Falls, Or. home of the 173rd Fighter Wing. They fly the F-15c, as does Portland Air National Guard out of the Portland International Airport. Home to the 142nd Fighter Wing. Coast Guard Air Staion, North Bend, Or. Search and Rescue... their aircraft is the Mh-65c helicopter. Umatilla Army Depot, Umatilla, Or. this base is projected to be completely closed by 2021 as their permit expires that year. No flying mission. Mount Hebo Air Force Station, Hebo, Or. Home to the 689th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron. This operation closed down in 1980. The military does fly training missions all over Oregon, as in my region near Klamath Falls, the F-15's do day and night time training. So, what did these people witness? Doing some research I came across a drawing done by a grandmother from Florence, Or. Her encounter from March 9th, 2015 witnessed by her and her grandson is uncanny in its similar appearance with the 'square windows'. This was on www.midnightinthedesert.com website. Another article written by Tyler Rogoway twitter.com/Aviation_Intel, November 15, 2017 reads; "Airliners and F-15s Invovled in Bizarre Encounter with Mystery Aircraft over Oregon." This article stirs speculation as to what was in the skies on Oct. 25, 2017 as an object was seen between California and Oregon border and involved multiple pilot eyewitnesses. Confirmations between both FAA and NORAD that it did occur. Another article by Jamie Seidel November 16, 2017, with the News Corp Australia Network wrote about the incident also. As did Micah Hanks on November 17, 2017. On the National UFO Reporting Center website, a photo from Rosarito Beach, Baja California, Mexico, Tuesday, December 12, 2017 @ 8:30 p.m is similar in the light formation also. On November 23, 2017 I wrote the Public Affairs office

There is no spectacular story here, it's just that I cannot explain this red, pulsing light that I saw on my drive to work this morning. I pulled up to the stoplight to turn onto the highway on ramp, and noticed this red ball of light in the sky. It was high enough that it wasn't coming from a house or a building in the area. It had to be something in the sky. There are no poles nearby that could emit the light. There were no other colors. It was just one red ball of light, that just stayed in one spot. It was not an airplane because it did not travel. It was not a helicopter. It only had one red light, so it was not a pole that warns aircraft of low power lines and it wasn't a cell phone tower. I am familiar with this area in the day light which is why I cannot figure out what it was. As I turned on to the highway the light continued to pulse, in that same spot. I kept looking back over my shoulder to make sure I didn't see other colored lights or additional lights or movement- but I didn't.

I then noticed a few small pinpoints of light moving through the clouds at my 10 o'clock. It was making me a bit nervous. I began to notice more floating at my 12 o'clock. I stood still and observed the lights float overhead. One moved erratically for a few seconds like a fruit fly and then resumed its path. There turned out to be to many to try and count. They were all even in size and somewhat amber in color. They did not twinkle. It was very unsettling.

Triangle craft with slightly curved edges. The entire craft glowed red. There was a yellow circle of lights underneath. The craft hovered in the air above the tree line but below the clouds. Unknown how large or distance from me. Weather was cloudy, cold and with occasional rain. Observed from inside the house at night with tree branches partially blocking the view. Observed for about three seconds, then went outside to film but craft was gone.

Around 10PM three other friends and I witnessed a light coming from the south of Denver shoot north. At first we thought it was a shooting star. Then it shot back south, appeared above us again and hovered for avout 8 seconds before shooting west. The event happened too quick for it to have been a drone or any airplane. The event was witnessed at 39.702678,-105.154664 to be exact. We were facing east, looking over downtown Denver. I had a flight tracker open on my phone so we could watch planes coming and going from the airports, after checking the radar there was no flights. My friends and I were left speechless, shaking, and cold. It took us a couple minutes to confirm with each other what we just saw. Contact information of other witnesses can be provided.

Was driving west on US 10. I saw 3 lights in the sky west of me. I woke my wife up to see, as well. They disappeared by vanishing from outside to inside, then reappeared to the north a short distance away by spreading out. Now there were 5 lights. This happened a few more times with the lights moving north each time. The hair on my arms was standing up after; strangest thing I have ever seen.

Hello. I found your website on the missing 411 documentary. I am an abductee/contactee. I don't have pictures of the craft on the night of the train incident but I do have a few pictures of other crafts I seen in 2019. I have a radio reflective object in my left hand I believe to be an implant. I witnessed my 1st ufo when I was 13, I am 32 now. I have seen many crafts. I am being watched by them closely and military/government as well. I have had the black hawk helicopter above my home, military personnel at the hospital. I have alot to say when it comes to the paranormal side of life as well. That all being said I would like to share my story with you but will have to do it in our next conversation. Thank you!

I was heading home from working in Cass City one winter night, and I saw these three bright lights in the shape of a triangle. They were hovering approximately 100 yards above ground stagnantly shining down. It was dark and there was a tree line by the road, so I couldn’t see anything other than the lights. Trying to grasp any logic I could, I finally was able to convince myself that it must be a cell-tower I’ve just never noticed before. The next morning I looked for a tower or any rationality near the sighting about 1/2 mile south of Deckerville Road on Cass City Road; there was absolutely nothing, other than fields and woods.
