Stevens Point, WI
As I walked to my car after leaving work, something caught my attention. I was looking directly south up into the sky and noticed 4 balls of orange light, about the same color as a street light far into the distance and high in elevation. The clouds around them could be seen from the light they cast, as it looked like they were sitting atop a bank of clouds looking over the surroundings. Three of the lights were in vertical formation and the other was offset behind them to my left. The offset one disappeared, followed by the three in formation simontaniously. It was like once I noticed them, they disappeared. They looked to be off in the distance of Plainfiel, WI, or even further south. The only other outworldly thing I have seen was too in this direction of Plainfield. The lights seemed to act in a similar way as the ones I saw over a year ago but this time is was at night and they were orange instead of bright white.

Tipp City, OH
I was walking to Troy from tipp city to see my uncle. I was drinking alcohol but I only had 3 beers to warm me up for the cold walk. I left my house on main Street in tipp city December 7th 2017 around 8pm. I took the train tracks for the first time to save me some time walking. About 10 minutes into my walk my cell phone died which I remember my battery being at 50 percent which should have lasted a day. I was listening to music off YouTube and my music shut off which I realized my cell had died. I kept walking about 5 minutes later into the cold darkness and a light had turned on above me, I stopped cause I originally thought it was some sort of a street light but I instantly knew there was no way for a light to be there and then a second light turned on and then a third light in the shape of a triangle. This object was pretty big and about 40 ft above my head no sound. I have witnessed many close encounters before especially from the triangle. At that time I remember saying my cell is dead and can't get any pictures of another close encounter. But as I'm observing this object a bright white with a blue tint shined over my body. It then began flashing lights bright as camera flashes at me and I realized I can't move, like it froze me. About 20 seconds of being in this light these big good halo type rings go over my body and it fills these rings up all the way to my neck and I then see the light getting closer and as I got right up inches away from the light I hear a loud humming sound and I was knocked out. I know now that it had picked me up off the ground and the humming sound was a vibrational sound that had knocked me out and rendering me unconscious. I then awoke in a ditch and I tried moving and I couldn't, I would wake up frequently and be knocked back out a few times. I then woke up and tried to get off the ground and my left arm was hanging and I was paralyzed. I tried with all my strength to get up and I rolled over onto a rock and saw blood pouring out of my face, then knocked back out. I woke back up to hearing people screaming and I got happy and I tried to tell but I couldn't talk. It ended up being a bunch of police officers and EMTs. They picked me up and got me on a stretcher and I was in so much pain I blacked back out. I awoke again on a helicopter and I tried as hard as I could to ask the man what happened to me and he stated that I had been hit by a train. I was completely shocked. I blacked out again and awoke in hospital and they had told me I had few broken bones and countless fractures and a crushed lung. I went into surgery and got put in a room. I started really thinking to myself last things I remembered. It all then came rushing back to me at that point. I had told all the doctors and nurses what actually happened. I did 4 days in hospital and I forced myself out because I thought I was going to be in debt the rest of my life. Next day the pain hurt beyond words can describe. I wish I had stayed longer. Weeks went by and there was a weird bump on my left index finger and I thought it was possible it was fractured and I got very concerned. So I made a doctor's appointment to have it looked at. My doctor called me back very next day shocked and scared. I asked what was wrong and she stated that I had a radio reflective object in my hand and she really wanted me to go in for surgery to remove the object. I went back to hospital to retrieve the x rays onto a disc. The woman was acting strange and said due to storm I couldn't get any copies. I said I have all day to wait cause I was very interested to see what this object was. As me, my mom and my brother was in the waiting area we see a woman dressed in military fatigues and 2 men in black suites walk out and did not even look at us. After they left about 20 minutes later the receptionist said I have access again and got the disc ready for us. I instantly went home and popped the disc into our computer and saw the object. As me and my brother was looking carefully at the pictures the pictures started getting erased before our eyes I freaked out and instantly ejected my disc. Few months went by and my brother got into the computer and the tower had crashed. He was only one who used this computer after I did. I reported my story to mufon and every time they called me it went straight to voicemail, did not ring any time I was contacted. I called them back and each time it made very weird loud screeching sounds so I ended up giving up. I told everyone I know my story. I am reporting to you guys now in hopes to be heard. I tried to bury this entire situation but it never leaves me. I don't remember what happened on the ship or who these beings were, but I've had many dreams of these tall grey beings, I should state at that time I never heard of tall greys only short ones. I have done countless research and discovered there are in fact reports of tall greys. I can't go out the house without witnessing an object of some kind. Family and friends didn't believe in UFOs until I had shown them, they are all true believers now. I will take a lie detector test proving my encounters. The lump in my hand is gone. I would like to know where in my body it has moved to. I also want to find a hypnotherapist to unlock what all happened that night. I need to know. Thank you for taking your time for reading my encounter. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer and help. I don't know why they abducted me and placed me back on tracks farther down than I remember and turned me into a walking vegetable. Part of me thinks it was just an accident, other part thinks it was on purpose. Maybe I was part of something bigger, like stopping the train to safe life's of others in a car or something broke down. I'm not sure. I hope it was to save another's life.

Tulsa, OK
At approximately 8:00pm on December 7th, 2017, my husband and I witnessed 2 large objects and 2 smaller objects in the sky. At first they started to blink, and the two larger objects continuously circled each other for around 30 minutes. The two smaller objects disappeared after about 10 minutes, leaving the 2 larger objects chasing each other in the sky. They would blink for a while, then be a solid golden color, then go back to blinking and so on. At one point, they were stationary in the sky for 20 seconds or so, and a silver/blue object fell from one of the crafts, then started flying again. After about 30 minutes had passed, the two large objects stopped circling in the sky and took off in one direction. I tried taking a few photos with my phone and managed to capture an image. It looked like a circle with a tail. Possibly advertising lights?? PD

Packwaukee, WI
On December 7, 2017, around 8:00 pm, I was watching TV when my dog, who rarely barks, perked her head up looked around and gave a few short little barks. I got up and peeked out the door, I didn’t see anything. I went upstairs where it was dark as no lights were on and looked out a window to the north. I saw three bright orange (almost like fire) round shapes moving to the north. They were very close together and the center one was slightly higher. I saw a shiny metallic outline (irregularly shaped) around the balls and a grate or grid appearance around the outside the edge of each ball (like a burner). It was moving slowly into the clouds and the clouds were glowing orange all around it. Just to the right of it, another spot in the clouds was glowing orange as if another bright light had just moved into the clouds. I watched it move away until it and the orange glow completely disappeared.

Tulsa, OK
About 1 1/2 hours earlier, just West of Inola on our way to the hospital, we noticed a bright circle of light northeast of Tulsa, and about the time my Grandson asked me what star it was it started moving South. I told him sometimes planes have to circle before they land, but it seemed to be moving slower than it should be.

Prior to this sighting, their were 2 other sighting prior (Sept.04-17, Oct.2017) The sighting in Sept. was 1 mile away from my present sightings. It was witnessed buy me, my cousin, & my 21yr.old son. The 3 of us tried to make sense & find a logical explanation to what we were seeing. A quick summary of what I seen; 3 bright white balls following all 3 of us in the woods at my cabin located approx. 1m from present sightings. When they started to get to close to us we got very aggressive & they backed off real quick. We couldn't understand how these objects moved in a straight formation through the woods. Once they were far enough away,it looked like they turned left to right & all we seen was; a pink a ultraviolet mist of light being sprayed above the tree tops. There were no beams of light coming from any of these objects. My present sighting has a lot more detail & some similarity plus things that can not exsplane.

Kent, WA
I was driving home from work going east on 212th St. As I was approaching 76th Ave S, I saw a bright star in the sky shining through the trees. I turned south on 76th Ave S and saw a small, fast moving airplane pass pretty quickly underneath the object. It was hovering very close, just to the west side of 76th Ave S. As I got closer, the object looked like a large airplane with a bright headlight, and a few lights on the bottom of it, but there were no flashing lights. It was not a helicopter, more like an airplane. It hovered there very close, perfectly still, as if it was watching traffic. I watched it as I drove south. Eventually I passed it and lost sight of it. It just kept hovering stationary there and never moved. I have seen this type of object far off in the distance before during this time of evening in Kent, but never this close.

Florence, MA
While driving through Florence, MA, I saw a triangular shaped craft with lights on the bottom. I would describe the area as thickly settled residential with street lights and so, the night sky isn't black. It hovered fairly low and moved slowly across the sky, well above distant trees, but low enough that its dark triangular shape was visible in the sky, it then it vanished abruptly. It may have been there longer than I witnessed, but it remained in my vision for only a couple of minutes.

Waupaca, WI
Driving southbound on a two-lane rural highway at dusk with my teenage son when we both noticed 5 or 6 white sparkling white lights in a horizontal line. They faded out after a few seconds. Unsure if they reappeared, as we were driving and could not stop to watch. Did see them disappear before we passed under. Not a cloud in the sky; the oddest thing we both have ever seen.

Cherry Hill, NJ
I was returning home from a walk, and was approaching the Woodcrest shopping Center on Browning Road, when I saw what I thought was just a bird taking off near the roof of the shopping center. Then I noticed that it looked more like a balloon. I thought it was pretty cool that someone let a balloon go, and was probably just watching to see how high it would go. So, I also stopped and watched its ascent. It was almost directly above me (and only a couple of hundred yards away at most), when I realized that it had very bright white lights blinking at the bottom of it--almost taking up the entire object. I also realized that it was more oval than cylindrical, and almost the color of a blue pearl. It was definitely not an airplane or helicopter. I just watched for a couple of minutes in wonder as it gradually sailed across the sky, and then walked away. I just dismissed as something I didn't understand (a weather balloon???). But I got thinking about it again and went online to see if there were any other reports of it, and found this site… Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

DuBois, PA
I was driving into town to stay in the Comfort Suites on December 6th, 2017. On I-80. I was listening to music, so I didn't hear if there were any sounds. I noticed 1 ball of light, fuzzy on the edges above me. I did not think much of it. The light soon changed to 3 lights. I became aware at this point. I pulled to the side to look up to see 5 balls of light. They hovered slowly moving around for about 3 minutes and then they disappeared. I had an odd feeling the rest of the night.

Miami Beach, FL
I was in attendance with fiends at a private function in Miami the evening of December 6. I was aboard the Nobel House, a 50 meter yacht hired for the event celebrating Miami Art Basel. At approximate 11:00 - 11:30 PM I was on the third deck of the yacht and noted what I thought would be terrific photo of an American flag atop the harbormaster’s office. I raised my phone to take a few photos of the flag. I noticed in my phone a white object in the distance that was moving both quickly and abruptly. I was puzzled because I could not see the light when looking into the sky directly, but could only evidence it looking through my iPhone. I decided to videotape what to me was stunningly strange event. With the surreal party music from the event behind me, and the object far ahead in the distance I captured approximately 10-15 seconds of the moving object before it shot off into darkness. Feeling somewhat overwhelmed by the visual experience, I shared my phone with two friends-both accomplished pilots of many years. Both pilots shared my surprise and uncertainty, and had no explanation of the nature of the sighting. The only comment that was additive to the experience was from one friend who said, when observing my video, that the light appeared very far off in the distance. It certainly seemed that way to me. CNN aired a report tonight speaking to new revelations about a government program researching UFOs. Watching the report, I went back to my video and then, for the first time, went to my still photo of the object. When I enhance the photo on the screen of my phone, it appears as if it’s a rounded diamond shape, with light emoting around it -similar, say, to a high school science book’s rendition of a neutron, only instead of a circle in the center this looked more diamond-esq. I have no idea if this was a byproduct of my phone’s lense system, but there seems to be no immediate plausible explanation given my phone (a new iPhone 8) operates perfectly, and the experience hasn’t replicated itself. What’s most interesting to me about the whole bit, is that I couldn’t see the light when looking into the sky. It was only through the lens of my cell phone. I’m a liberal arts major, not a science or math guy-so I have no idea what this was and look forward to any thoughts or observations that you might provide.

Portland (northeast), OR
It looked like 2 lines of a triangle with a bright light at the front. Appeared out of nowhere and flew off extremely fast. No sound. Looked like waves behind it what we would think of as exhaust or an aura. Then disappeared ..... literally. It did not go behind anything, up, or down. Just plain disappeared, like it cloaked itself.

It was clear that they weren't moving because there were other lights from planes moving behind the two lights.

Boise, ID
Cigar shaped ship hovering over the foothills, East of our house, about 2 miles away. It did is same bouncing moves that I have seen it do before, covering a large area with each bounce. It would bounce down the hill, about half way down then do a very quick move back to the top of the hill. This went on for at least 15 minutes, I was tired and couldn't stay awake anymore. There were visible white cabin lights, but not as many as before, there were three, two in the front and one toward the back. The length of the ship was visible because we had high clouds, so the ship showed up well with the city lights reflecting on the clouds.

Redgranite, WI
While driving approximately 5 east of Redgranite, WI, I witnessed a stationary orange light near the north star. It was same height in sky as North Star, but it appeared what seemed about 50 feet to the right. While observing the object for the brief time it was visible, it increased in size and brightness, then disappeared. I was in a rural section, unsure of township. I am a professional driver and drive overnight shift. This isn’t the first thing I have seen, however it is the first report I have made.

Cupertino, CA
Last night (12/5/17) at around 10pm, I noticed a strange light in the sky to the south/ southeast of my home. It was much too bright to be a star as you could see stars up above where this object was and the contrast between the stars and this object was very obvious. It was definitely not a plane either as this object would hover then make jolted type movements. At one point I watched this object completely disappear gradually, and about 45 seconds later reappeared closer to my home. It had a pulsating light that would change from red to blue, then to white but with no distinct pattern. I couldn’t figure out what this thing was and I started to get a bit nervous. Living near the San Jose airport, I’m fairly good at spotting the objects, even in the night sky, but for the life of me I couldn’t figure out what this thing was. If it had been a helicopter we would have easily heard it and would have recognized the flight patterns. At about 10:20pm this object was! still hovering in the night sky, only moving once in a while, and very quickly. I called for my mother-in-law to come to outside so I could get another perspective on what this object was. Immediately my mother-in-law was also convinced this was much to close to be a star, as the pulsating red and blue lights were fairly obvious. That’s when my mother-in-law noticed there was a second object as well. It was further away than the one I had been watching but as we watched this other object it too looked as if it was making similar movements and color changes, and coming closer to our home. I even pulled up a star chart on my phone and this object was appearing on the star view camera but not registering as a star, nor was it close enough to any star that it would be mistaken as such. Normally if it’s a satellite, this star map app will tell you. I tried to take photos and videos but my phone’s camera isn’t the best quality. I just want to know what this thing was, and if anyone else in the Cupertino / San Jose area also witnessed this object? ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Mr Davenport, Thanks for your response. I’m sorry to bother you guys, but yes I believe you’re right that it was Sirius. I guess I just never realized how bright it can be at times! I must have stared a bit too long as well because I could swear it was moving. I’ve since read that that can happen if you’re focusing on an object too long in the night sky? The night I saw it, it wasn’t registering on the star map app I was using, but I know those apps can be faulty on exact gps locations because last night when I looked, it did register as Sirius. Thanks again for your response! ((END ADDENDUM))

Edmonds, WA
My spouse and I were going on a walk with our dog around the track at Woodway Elementary. As we approached the rounded end of the track the UFO very slowly and very quietly - mostly silent - moved overhead going from North to South. It was what felt like only a stones throw away, maybe 50 ft above moving through low hanging fog. My spouse and I stopped walking and both agreed it was not just a plane leaving from Paine Field. It was dark and difficult to see the shape, but had red lights on the bottom in the shape of a circle, which also was a confirmation it was not a plane. I want to stress again, the speed at which the UFO was moving was extremely slow, and seemed to be only about 5 MPH or less as it went directly over us. Our dog sat down at our feet, and we all looked upwards. My spouse and I were both nervous, and held hands. As the craft moved South through the low hanging fog, the fog was very thick at one point almost completely covering the view from the lights. As it emerged from the other side of the fog into clear view again, it had shape-shifted into the shape and full appearance (lights and everything had changed) of a commercial airplane, was moving much faster, appeared much higher in the sky, and continued onwards South in a straight flight as if it were simply an airplane flying over from Paine Field. Over the years, I have shared this experience confidently with others who either agree it sounds like we had a close encounter with a UFO, but some non-believers think I’m eccentric and exaggerating. What I saw that night was very clearly not an airplane, and I knew immediately it was magical or otherworldly as it was so low, and so slow. I will remember it forever and hope to one day see something like it again.
