Chesapeake, VA
I had seen a light moving in the sky and did not see any flashing lights which raised my interest. As I continued to follow the light with my eyes for a couple minutes, it slowly faded away. About one minute after the disappearance, there was an extremely fast flash across the night sky in the same vicinity. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I always look out toward the foothills to the north and east to see if there is anything in the sky before I go to bed. I looked over at the spot that I have been watching for several years where the zigzaging bouncing lights keep appearing, and there was this huge cigar shaped ship, with cabin lights, I could see the windows, it was amazing!!! The foothill area where I always see the bouncing lights has to be about 2 miles from our house, and this ship looked pretty big, maybe 20 to 25 feet long, at that distance. I watched this weird ship doing the same bouncing and zigzaging movements as the smaller ships, but it looked more awkward doing the movements than the smaller ships that have been up over the foothills. Then I looked out the bedroom window toward the south, and there were the five glittery lights moving around fast in the sky where I have been seeing them for three years, one is larger and brighter than the others, and has what looks like a bright spotlight, the beam shines down through the atmosphere and is very visible. Our cats, two in the garage and the one in the house, were all going crazy running around and making lots of noise for no reason, they never do that, and my cell phone that I had just charged up and turned off for the night was almost totally drained when I turned in on in the morning.

At first, i thought that I saw a bright star, and then it slowly started to move. It was hard to capture on video,. Nobody thinks that it was a drone or has any other logical explanation. We have been seeing both drones and these for months, and the drones have the deep noise, while this has none.

Stanley, NM
At approximately 6:25 pm on 11/30/17, I was driving south on Highway 41 and in the town of Stanley, NM. My approximate speed was 50 mph. As I approached the intersection of Stanley road, a large, blinking red light appeared from the west. It was traveling at a high rate of speed and very low to the ground (just above tree level). It literally came out of nowhere, just before it passed over Highway 41 (and over my car), heading due east. The land around Stanley is flat, and you can see for miles. I don’t know how I could have missed its approach, and after it passed overhead, it didn’t take long (maybe 10 seconds at most) for it to travel 3-5 miles. I didn’t stop my car, and I kept looking to my left to observe the light as much as I could. The last time I saw it, it was near the horizon and had either landed or was very low to the ground. Worth noting: the moon was still in the eastern sky, and it was very bright and illuminated the sky quite well. Even with this illumination, I couldn’t make out anything other than the light itself - I couldn’t see any shape to determine if this light was attached to an airplane or helicopter. I don’t know of any aircraft that ONLY have one, large, blinking red light, though.

Another Lunar Fast Walker? While observing the moon last night with a three inch (80 x 900 mm) refractor, I saw a black, star-shaped object transiting through the eyepiece field of view at approximately 17:57, EDT. [Please see the attached diagram for more details.] I was observing the Aristarchus - Herodotus area of the moon--near the lunar terminator at this time--with a star diagonal and a magnification of 144X . The waxing gibbous moon was rising in deep twilight, and seeing was excellent. At the time of the sighting, I had just switched to a 12 mm eyepiece with a 2X Barlow, and just as I was coming to focus with this combination I glimpsed a black, five-pointed, star-shaped object transiting from right to left through the eyepiece field of view (FOV). All of this happened very fast--probably in less than 1 second--and my impression is that when I first saw the object it had already begun to cross the FOV, and I was only able to observe it as it moved toward the left side of the image. Again, please see the associated diagram for more details. Note that since I was using a star diagonal which gives a mirror-reversed image, the object was actually moving from east to west--the opposite of what is shown in the eyepiece view. As a point of interest, this is actually the second of these objects that I have seen while observing the moon. The earlier observation took place on June 23, 2016, and there is a report on file with NUFORC. As memory serves--and going back to my earlier report to confirm my recollection--this is exactly the same type of object that I observed last year, and moving in the same east to west direction. As I am at best a "casual" (as opposed to a systematic) observer of the moon, I am wondering about the reported frequency of sightings of objects of this type. Given that I have now seen two of these within the space of a year and a half, it would seem to me that others must also be seeing them. But what is it, exactly, that I and presumably others are seeing? ((name deleted)) Jacksonville, FL

This took about 1.5 minutes to take place & then they hovered for almost 50 seconds & I couldn’t see them anymore due to a tree line. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

A friend and I saw a small craft flying only twenty feet above the Malt House off of East Washington. As it came closer it stopped for two seconds and then continued on. It was grey, almost looked like a jet with a black bubble on top. It only made a low hum. It was only big enough for one person.

Tylersport, PA
I went outside to dispose of my celery and onion scraps (I was making albacore salad for the next day) and I asked my daughter if she wanted to go outside as she often does for a smoke. She stayed upon the 2nd. floor open porch, while I went down to the compost pile to dispose (Approx. 120 yards). After covering about 20 yards I looked up and observed a highly illuminated "tipped over capital "H", or and "I" beam that shimmered like a diamond horizontally across all horiz. areas. I yelled to my daughter (18 y.o.) to get down her now!, and she did. She observed also. After jumping altitude up and down a few times it changed to a steady altitude and direct path towards Lansdale (S/SW). The majority of the craft sparkled in a brilliant white with colors at the ends. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

this is to follow-up my original report of 11/30/17 of the I-BEAM shaped object {or capital "H" on its side with sparkling DIamond center} seen in Tylersport, PA, Sunday evening as I walked to dispose of kitchen scraps. This is not my first sighting, but the first reported. I am a retired pro-photographer that has logged thousands of hours in small fixed wing aircraft, and 2- man helicopters. I know what we humans are capable of building aka aircraft. This is not our skill level. I wanted to include my contact number, email address and my website (artwork generally). website address is ...theothersidesuks.com....store is ENIGMA, artwork is mine.

They moved erratically for several minutes. Eventually one came towards our home and flew behind it out of our sight. We observed the other light for several more minutes before the light seemingly disappeared as if someone turned off a light switch. Both lights were very high in the sky.

Reno, NV
AT APPROXIMATLY 830 PM, MYSELF AND SON WERE WALKING TO THE STORE AND I NOTICED SOME LIGHTS BUNCHED TOGETHER BEHIND A TREE AND ALSO A PLANE TAKING OFF FROM THE AIRPORT BUT AS I LOOKED AT THE LIGHTS LONGER I NOTICED THAT THEY WERE SIDEWAYS TILTED A BIT. THERE WAS THREE OF THEM AND I WATCHED AS THE DEPARTING PLANE WENT UNDER THEM AND THEN THEY HEADED DUE WEST AT A INCLINATION. THE TWO BOTTOM ONES DISAPPEARED, BUT THE BRIGHT ONE HAS A BRIGHT ORANGE LIGHT ON TOP AND BLUE AND RED PANELS DRAPED OF THE SIDES. IT STAYED AT THE INCLINED POSTION FOR ABOUT 15 MIN BEFORE IT MOVED TO THE RIGHT ABOUT 12 DEGREES... I ALSO SAY A GROUP OF MUCH SMALLER ONES DIRECTLY IN THE PATH AND FOLLOWING IT AS IT WAS MUCH FARTHER THEN THE ATMOSHPHERE BY NOW.

Keizer, OR
While heading north on River Road North at 8:20PM, I observed a dark object above, while traveling in front of the Keizer Arby’s. At 8:21pm I clearly observed an unidentified object while on the phone in my vehicle. This object looked like a car sitting above a business, as in it had 2 lights which appeared like headlights. As I continued to travel northbound the object appeared larger. It seemed to be sitting or hovering above Pizza Hut then father north above Walgreens. As I approached the Keizer Walgreens, I continued to watch the object as it came into focus above ABBA auto body and Keizer Avamere. It was here that I saw it clearly was a trangular black shape. The triangle appeared to be 1/4 mile above just the street, but definitely below the clouds. Just above Keizer Avamere, I noted the triangle on one point appeared to be the front of the object with 2 “headlights” and a faint red blinking light in the middle - almost on the center of the triangulated side. The object continued to hover for about a minute in the same place directly above the apts behind Keizer UPS. I then turned left around the block on Lockhaven to attempt a photo or stop to better identify this triangle shaped object. As I pulled in front of the Keizer post office, I saw clearly the rear of the object as the flat side of the triangle, and it sped south as it was nearly directly above the new home of Waremart. This triangle was black and roughly the size of a Tesla automobile. It traveled very quickly south and disappeared within about 20 seconds. It appeared hazy before disappearing. I observed this unidentified triangle object for nearly 3 minutes, while driving. It was hovering and made no sound when the window was down. I have been experiencing a headache since this encounter, which may not be related, but no other logic exists for cause of said headache at this time.

2 Bright lights in the shape of diamonds, hovering about a mile in the air over route 287 South after the exit in Morristown. The diamond shape light was bright yellow to white. Around the shapes you can see halos around the edges horizontally from the center of the subjects. The lights descended down and disappeared into the horizon after reaching Easton Exit to Route 78.

Newport News, VA
At around 7:30 PM in the year 2017 I had gotten together with a family friend to talk to her about life and a personal situation. Right when she came to pick me up and take her to her place I thought I had saw something. I lived near Denbigh when this occurred and so I see this light, and typically planes fly in, in the area so it isn’t uncommon. However, what made me want to go check it out was how low the lights were and how big they were too. It was like a big circular blob of light above a house that was just sitting there. So - being a science geek who loves the weather and studying stars and meteors I thought: “Okay, let’s go check this out! I wanna know if there’s a meteor or some rocket launch that I don’t know about over there!” So we drive down the street at a low speed of 15-20mph and then we get to the school across from this. That’s when she tells me, “It’s not a star! It’s some plane!” We started to freak out at that point because it was so low like it was on top of trees and it wasn’t moving so right when we pulled up it started to move and I took note of every detail because I was so eager to take a picture that I dropped my phone. Triangular like shape, black, round belly with 3 white lights going in a straight line, white lights forming a triangle, tiny red lights in between - too many lights to be a plane. Turned all of its lights off when we chased it and disappeared. Has been bothering us ever since! Please don’t discredit this information: I live in a military affiliated area - very heavily - and I really thought it was strange how low it was flying, the fact that there weren’t any jets getting it. It practically landed on top of a house, and from the side it was about 2 houses long - almost like it could be a house. There weren’t any wings on it. Chased it all the way to Warwick before it disappeared because it KNEW we were chasing it When we tried to turn after seeing it the car stalled out which wasn’t normal either because the car was new

I was at Rutgers campus going to my class and i just saw a single cigar shaped UFO coming down toward earth but as i stared at it for a long time it just wouldn’t move. Furthermore, it was releasing white gas like planes do in high altitudes but the object was flying straight down and the gas streaks were vertical not horizontal as usual. I ignored. But as i was driving home i saw the same object, plus two more all having white streaks. I don’t know what they were. Possibly contrails, we suspect. PD

West Jefferson, OH
From the east (near Us Rt 40) notice a bright light in the distance moving west. I had a FlightAware app on my phone and there was not any commercial aircraft in my area. The light came closer to the ground and a white cylinder appeared in sky. It was traveling west with no emissions. It was traveling too fast to be a balloon. My first thought it was the ISS, but it was over South America at the time I seen the object.

it started as me my wife, and my 11 year old grandson was taking a walk. we heard a chopper, and it came into view.. Suddenly, we noticed a large round bright white light moving steady without making any sound at all, other than the helicopter that was staying in a steady speed behind the craft, at a distance of about 100 yards. It was like the helicopter (was not) chasing the bright white light, but rather flying in formation by using distance behind the craft. We all got a very good look at this thing, and as it passed over us. I could faintly see a gray round disc craft!!!! I can say this for sure. I never really believed fully that there were aliens, as well as UFO's, but I do believe it now, as I saw one!!!! With my own eyes..

Pittsburg/Antioch, CA
partly cloudy skies at high altitude, pinkish color in commercial air craft exhaust vapor from pre dawn sunlight visible and showing aircraft direction easily. Vapor trails observed were sharp and crisp due to absence of wind. I was observing a line of 5 aircraft following each other in line separated by a regulated distance of about 5 miles. The next closest air traffic in the same direction was approx. 25 miles and following in the same flight pattern. I looked back to the 1st group of aircraft and noticed 2 bright dots to the right rear of the last aircraft. The observed bright dots were compared to turning on and off a light switch. There were now 2 black dots to the right rear of the known aircraft. They were separated from the jet approx. the length of the jet itself and the distance between the 2 ufos by 1/2 the jet. The 2 UFOs followed for approx. 5 seconds then traveled in south in the same pattern passing into a cloud formation approx. 20 miles away. Unable to locate UFOs after that. The unknown dots following the jet liner appeared to be the size of a airliner baggage cart in scale to the jet from observed distance. UFOs appeared as black dots and did not leave any vapor trail. No other witnesses as I was the only person at the county bus stop at time of incident. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
