Irving, TX
It was a typical Friday morning. I was up by 5 am and in my car by 6 for my 35 min commute to Dallas. The drive was uneventful, til about 15 minutes on highway 183 until the traffic came to a grinding halt, that lasted about 20 minutes. As I sat on the highway, I figured there must be an accident ahead, and then I saw this magnificent light in the sky. I knew it was not a star, a planet nor tthe moon and I immediately ruled them out. Tired of sitting on the highway, I got off on the next ramp only to find myself stuck waiting to catch a traffic light. I was compelled to look at the light because there was something "off about it". It wasn't a helicopter. It was so quiet outside it really surprised me. Took a couple of pics then decided to turn on my video. I witnessed this light shining brighter still, glowing and it appeared to be two circles of light. It became very bright then dimmed and began hovering away at a very fast rate of speed. I am convinced it was a UfO. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Raleigh, NC
When driving west on 64 towards Raleigh, saw large cube floating north over the city. I couldn't get a picture bc I was moving in traffic which was frustrating bc it wasn’t moving too quickly. It was like a square parade balloon got loose and instead of floating up it floated straight. Figured it would be in the news, but wasn’t. Came here and thankfully found a similar report.

I have never seen anything move so quickly and quietly across the sky. All of the neighborhood dogs have been barking all night.

Leonardtown, MD
Sometime between October to December of 2017, I was on my way to basketball practice at Father Andrew White School. We stopped at the intersection of Hollywood Road and Point Lookout Road, and I looked out the window and saw this black triangle hovering a few hundred feet in the air. It moved a little, but didn’t deviate much from its general position. It had a light in each corner, and was too big to be a drone at that height. The corners were almost rounded off, not sharp. I continued to look at it until we passed through the intersection.

Manassas, NC
I was on a job site next to the railroad in Manassas, VA. I was looking up at a clear sky watching passing planes, when I noticed a dark triangular aircraft hovering in the sky. It stood out to me because the other aircrafts were moving along in a normal fashion. This triangular vessel was mostly stationary and only hovered occasionally from side to side. Four other workers witnessed this with me. After about ten minutes the aircraft was gone. It left no chem trail and was silent. I do have pictures of the object I witnessed.

3 VERY bright lights in sky, still. one would move away, then rejoin. Often a pair would be so close as to look as 1 light. Hovered over queens/atlantic yards area for at least 15 minutes. I saw from more the a mile away and the lights were VERY big and bright. Very still.

Clinton, IA
On the evening of 11-20-17 at approximately 18:45 my wife and I were walking our dog in a large, dark, field on the edge of Clinton, Iowa. I was admiring the clear sky when I notice a very large cluster of faint lights travelling quickly from south to north. I immediately asked my wife if she saw it and she replied yes. She suggested that I shine a very powerful flashlight at it, and I did so to no avail. It disappeared very quickly. The lights were very small and faint, suggesting to us that they were very high up in the sky. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Los Angeles, CA
I was walking my dog. He was a very old dog I had recently adopted. He was staying in a boarding facility. I went to the facility to walk the dog. I was walking up to a street corner (12th or Olympic) looking up the street at the traffic light and just as I looked up some flew at high speeds right in front of me. I was just about to the street corner so I walked a few more steps so my sight line would lear the buildings anf there it was. So type of morphing globe. It was flying towards Santa Monica. It was only about 10 stories high which made me think it was some type of missle. But as I watched it fly away, the craft spilt into two crafts and it looked like they were racing or competing. Their flight pattern was nothing I had ever seen. I continued to watch until I could not see them anymore. I could not video the event because I had a dog leash in my hand and even though I had the phone in my hand, I was not able to push record because my other hand was full.

Flying in commercial airplane, -
I saw an extremely large UFO in the fall of 2017. I was in a commercial plane, flying from Oklahoma to Baltimore. We were at cruising altitude when I saw out my window two ENORMOUS vertical wings rising straight up from a horizontal cloudbank. They appeared to be attached to a large craft concealed just under the clouds. They were even with each other in the air and they resembled the winglet on a plane wing - except they were at least 300-400 ft tall. I estimated them to be that height, and there to be at least 3-4 miles distance between them. At some point the clouds broke closer to me and I saw another commercial airliner fly below and closer than the wings - directly down at my 8 o’clock - it’s size appeared to be like a speck of rice compared to the size of the vertical wings. The wings were black on their “inside” and white on the “outside”, so that to see them from above they would blend into the ground and to see them from below they would blend into the sky. I NEVER took my eyes off the wings. I watched them as they moved through the sky - my plane was flying and they appeared stationary and they were stable in the air and in relation to each other - as they moved from my 11 o’clock to my 7 o’clock, which took about 20 minutes. As they neared the 9 o’clock position, they began to flatten. They began tilting what would have been backwards, and they also flattened into a very thin line, which once it was horizontal changed into a thin gray “cloud.” It was the only gray cloud in the sky and it cloaked both the wings. It was approximately 10 degrees above the flat, white horizontal cloud shelf. I videoed this cloud and watched it move behind my plane and farther away until it was out of view. I uploaded my video onto Google photos and checked twice to make sure it was there. I didn’t pull out my camera previously because I was too afraid to look away and the wings disappear. I visited a friend immediately after that flight. My friend and I discussed the UFO in his home. He works for a secretive large government entity in a sensitive position which he can not elaborate, but that I know to be true. After we talked about the ufo, all of the photos and video I took from that entire flight disappeared from both my phone AND Google photos. This led me to believe that “they” must have been monitoring my friend and deleted my videos. My friend is the first to say that UFOs do not exist and that we do not spy on our own citizens. Maybe not an everyday civilian, but a person in a sensitive position such as his - they must be listening. I since have done an experiment with a 500ft building in Oklahoma City. I drove far enough away that the building appeared to be the same size as the farthest vertical wing - it was TWELVE miles away. Which would lead me to believe that based on the relative size and position of the closer wing, the two wings were no less than 6 miles apart. This would equal an enormous craft that humans can not fly. Much different than a small flying saucer. Of course I was afraid to ask anyone in front of me if they saw the wings. I have reported it to MUFON and searched the database in hopes that someone else reported the same craft, since many people were aboard my flight on that side of the plane. No other reports have been made. I want to retrieve the air traffic control logs from that day - if I could visibly see them, surely the pilots could, and maybe the radar picked up something (though I think this is unlikely.) Can you tell me if you have received any similar reports, and can mine be added to your database?

Cleveland, OH
The UFOs came from east to west of downtown Cleveland, the height was about 6,000ft, the speed was about a helicopters speed. Here's what happened: I looked up at the sky and the UFOs almost 20 of them visible to me, were behind each other in a very organized way. As the group of UFOs were moving, they had a blue looking light next to them. While the rest of the aircrafts/UFOs were leaving I tried to take pictures of them, but I only caught two on my camera; they headed north above Lake Erie, my estimation is that they went up to 10,000 ft and higher where it isn't visible to a human eye. I tried to record all this and when I went back on my gallery the video was gone, I was pretty sure I took. My friend sent me the pictures she took, instead. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite serious-minded. PD

Chehalis, WA
I was walking my stepdaughter to the bus stop and she asked me to pick her up (she is 5) so I picked her up and we were looking up at the trees and the sky and we noticed a bright star next to two other stars (less bright) At this point the brighter star started to move slowly at fist and then more rapidly to the south. I didn't want to upset her so when she said "that star is moving" I said "yep it's probably a plane or a helicopter, knowing full well that it was neither. The object was silent. My step daughter said " I think it's a rocket ship" I simply smiled and said "maybe." I have seen these before in this area, but it is a little unsettling to know that whatever it is it makes stops in our neighborhood. It is almost as if it could see that we were looking at it because that is when it moved on. Recently, I have considered that some of these sightings may be drones. If it was a drone, which is unlikely given the power requirements of a modern drone, which would drain to quickly considering brightness of the light it was emitting. I do not think that if this was a drone it is one that is commercially available.

I was on break from work when i noticed a brite light up sky. It was just below the cloud line. It was so brite it could not figure out what it was. It was just hovering and then it moved what seemed about a few mile in just a few second. It was in the shape of a triangle ..I dont know what it was ... But i Do know it was not a helicopter or a airplane.. It was very huge it did not make any sound..

I'm going to be simple, I live near the Atlantic Ocean, I can look out the window and see the water. Between 3 and 6 a.m there is always activity in the sky. But specifically in November is when I seen a craft for the first time. It was black, shaped like a triangle, and moving in an abnormal way, gliding along. Other than that nearly every morning when I get up there's always activity in the sky weird lights that look like portals or something, you guys need to look into it, I don't know who else to tell. ((anonymous report)) Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

Palm Desert, CA
7:35PM October 31, 2017, The Living Desert, Palm Desert, CA My wife and I are members at our local desert zoo. The zoo puts on a "Howl-o-ween" event where thousands of kids, parents are members are invited to walk about and participate in themed mazes, see animals eating etc. We'd been to the zoo a dozen times in the last year and know it well. Tonight they illuminated the adjacent fenced off rocky hill for the visitors to view the resident rams. Shortly after I took a photo of the hill with moonlight clouds above, I saw the end of the cloud cover was nearly directly overhead and that the stars were peaking through. It was only 10 seconds after gazing upward that I saw what looked like two faint stars flying from the clear SW sky, travelling parallel to each other but not in an exact straight line. One of them was pulsing slowly a bright white color, the other appeared to fade in and out, they could have been mistaken for satellites or planes if they had not drifted and slowed to a standstill almost directly overheard. At this point I called to my wife, got out my smartphone (which couldn't capture anything of course) and we both saw the orbs slowly stop. At this point another orb slowly appeared and then the three balls of light seemed to "align" themselves into a classic UFO triangle. At this point, shocked, I looked around to see how others were reacting and their were dozens of people all around us but, as expected, they were completely engaged with their costumed kids. The triangles altitude was not much higher than the low-hanging clouds yet their appearance was inconspicuous enough to just appear as other faint stars. We could see that they weren't exactly still but hovered in place, not pulsing or fading in or out, but just staying still as if "pretending" to be stars. After 3 or 5 minutes staring up at the floating triangle, we had to get going, reluctantly. It felt like winning the jackpot then having to leave your lotto ticket behind. I was not too surprised by any of this behavior as I have researched many other UFO cases that are nearly exact replicas of this, yet the sheer euphoria and shock of seeing it right before your eyes, out in the open in front of thousands is a power emotion I'll never forget. Researchers and witness have concurred over the years that whatever intelligence these orbs have, it is probably aware of how humans think, and show themselves only just enough for a few to see them, but rarely make an appearance big enough or at the right time for a full-scale sighting with any real earth-shattering consequences. This being my second sighting, and my first in what must be the most populated public outdoor place for the next hundred miles, I believe the UFO definitely knew it could act with impunity.

Kingsport, TN
Was watching the night sky when suddenly saw out of the corner of my eye what I thought was a star suddenly changed color from a cool blue ( like a star on any given night ) to a bright almost incandescent light it flashed several times very quickly, almost like rapid camera flashes except more of an incandescent color then literally rotated like an eyeball in a socket and then completely disappeared. Then staring in disbelief at what I just witnessed suddenly off to my right at approximately the same height, it suddenly reappeared then started moving slowly in a very straight line then like a plane taxiing down the runway but much much faster it took off and disappeared out of sight.

Watching 2 planes in the sky, noted the contrails behind both airliners. However, from my viewpoint, there was a bright light "in between" the 2 planes. Looked larger than either plane in the sky couldn't tell if it was because it was closer or just a larger object. No contrails emitted from the object. Watched for a few seconds, then it suddenly disappeared. Watched the sky looking for it to reappear, but it didn't. Couldn't tell if the light was coming from the object, or or reflected by the setting sun. Would like to know if anyone else saw this happen.

I do not know what this was, but it looked like 2 objects side by side entering our atmosphere going east to weat passing over Atlanta GA, Each object had two tails coming from them like an inverted V. Sure would like to know what this siting was.. It lasted too long for a plane and too short for a comet.

A bright object perhaps one sixth the size of the moon, traveling from east to west, appeared and traveled quickly looking like a balloon with flame/fire at one end. Traveling counter to prevailing winds and swiftly. Looked like a hot air balloon with flame.

Denver, CO
I have an old dog who wakes me up to go potty at all hours of the night. She woke me up at 2:30 on the morning of October 31 and we went outside to my backyard. I live in the approach zones for DIA so I see many aircraft flying overhead with their landing lights on for their approach to the airport. There are 3 safety approach zones for the airport for all but police and emergency aircraft, usually helicopters. One goes west to east, another goes south to north and the last fro southwest to the northeast. As I was sitting watching my dog I notice an unusual aircraft flying out of the normal safety zones. I was flying way north of the west to east zone and perpendicular to the south to north zone; crossing the southwest to northeast zone. Next its "landing lights" were pink, not white or yellow. It also did not have any navigation lights flashing. The craft was moving rather slowly then came to a complete stop for about a minute or longer. Then it started moving again. It disappeared into the clouds. The entire time there was not a sound of any kind made not even my dog.

Moodus, CT
At approximately 12:35 am on Oct. 31, 2017, I was outside in my yard. A bright light caught my attention. It was fairly low on the horizon, and also was a bit slower than any shooting star I’ve ever seen, and much bigger, and brighter. Still the whole event lasted only seconds. It moved quickly and seemed to recede below horizon. Probably a shooting star, but it was pretty weird. I am just an ordinary person, with virtually no astronomy knowledge. I just felt compelled to report this as it freaked me out a little.
