San Antonio, FL
We were at the Halloween horror theme park, Scream-a-geddon, waiting in line for the hayride. I looked up into the trees, and saw two “airplanes” flying close to each other, side by side. It was an odd way to be flying so close, so I took notice. I told my husband to look how close they were, and as he watched, they moved from. Ext to each other to over top of each other. They were silent, and not helicopters. As me and my husband watched, trying to figure them out, we noticed the lighting was way different than airplanes. It wasn’t blinking, it was flashing consstantky, with colors. Like red, yellow, white, red, yellow, white... in a cir Jose formation, not a blinking red light, like a plane. They slowed down once they moved in the vertical formation, and disappeared behind the trees. I can’t stop thinking about them, they were silent, ave

Clayton, NC
The craft was about the size of a small plane, but it had no wings or rigid shape. The craft was dark in color with two large round infrared looking light in front of it (like the headlights on a car) The craft passed very slowly over us around 200 feet in the air, and it made a slight humming sound. When the craft passed over us there were no lights whatsoever to be seen under, around, or behind it. There were just the the two round light in front. The craft had no tail.

Mount Washington, CA
Very bright light that crossed the sky from northwest to southeast in the Mount Washington/Montecito Heights area of East Los Angeles. It lit up the entire sky, but did not make a sound. Everyone in the surrounding neighborhood experienced power flickering, and/or power surges at the exact same time. It even blew out a few peoples’ cable and satellites.

Laguna Beach, CA
I take pictures of the beach, sunsets, clouds almost every night from my deck in Laguna Beach. In October 26/27th, I saw this orb show up almost out of no where. It hovered around the clouds (NW very close to Catalina Island) right after the sun had set, and was there until it was pitch black, then disappeared. I did not see it disappear as heavy clouds rolled in, but I look every night at the same place and there is no star or planet or anything like that at all there. ((ADDENDUM #1 FROM WITNESS)) Hi There, I wanted to submit a couple photos that I took from My deck in Laguna Beach, California. I take pictures of the beach, sunsets, clouds almost every night from my deck. In october 26/27th I saw this orb show up almost out of no where. It hovered around the clouds (NW very close to catalina) right after the sun had set, and was there until it was pitch black, then disappeared. I did not see it disappear as heavy clouds rolled in, but I look every night at the same place and there is no star or planet or anything like that at all there. Not sure fully what I have here, but if you guys could take a look at my pictures and let me know what you think, id love it! I will attach photos that are on my Digital camera as well. I will show you some zoomed out, so you can see the scale of everything. I will also send pictures of it zoomed in so you can see what I was seeing up close. On the zoomed out pictures, the ORB in right above the cloud in the middle, you will see it. ((END ADDENDUM)) ((BEGIN ADDENDUM #2)) Hi Peter, Thank you for your timely response! I am sure of where I was looking becuase I have Catalina Island as my base point. I was looking out 285 degrees W over the Ocean about 1.5 miles out and 1 mile up. ((END ADDENDUM #2))

San Diego, CA
On the evening of October 26th, 2017, I witnessed and filmed a cigar-shaped UFO from my balcony. I was able to take two videos of it before it disappeared behind some trees. I went out to my balcony to look at the sunset, which I do every evening, and I noticed a cigar shaped (glowing bright white) object, hovering in a vertical position. It caught my eye because it was so bright. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky, so it was easy to see. When I started to focus on the object, it rotated to a 2 o’clock position, and then started to descend in a slow, deliberate manner. As it descended, it rotated to a horizontal position, as it was moving south. It descended to a few hundred feet off the ground, and then continued to move in a somewhat straight line, until it disappeared behind some trees in the distance. I live in San Diego, CA, approximately 3 miles from the ocean. The object looked to be a few miles off the coast. Also, as it was moving south, a commercial airliner flew in front of it (on video). It gives a good perspective of how large it was. Even though the object was a few miles west of the airplane, it seemed to be as large, or bigger than the plane.

Randleman, NC
We were riding in SUV returning from Walmart and were on a very dark, back country road. Sky was bright with a half moon visible. Not very cloudy. Just moved from left to right very very quickly...white light only...came into view and then left as fast as it appeared...much to fast to be a jet plane, parallel to horizon and would not have been a falling star or comet...VERY BRIGHT and VERY FAST I am 57, my son is 25 and his girlfriend is 23. All saw the same thing and I have NEVER witnessed anything like it in my life. A totally unique experience. Strange indeed.

Austin, TX
I was looking up at the clear blue sky with a neighbor when we saw a silver object shooting across the sky at a very high altitude. She called it a high flying jet, but I noted that it was was not leaving a con trail. It first appeared to have two sections or wings and was traveling length wise like a tube. But as it passed overhead in a straight line it appeared to bank and looked somewhat saucer shaped at two different times and flames shot out one time for a short distance sideways to its direction of travel across the sky.

Lawrence, KS
On KU campus, near the campanile, looking towards Memorial Stadium, I saw a silver disk-like object off the far horizon. It was around 1:00pm and very sunny, so there was a notable reflection of something. Whatever it was seemed to move, hover, and move, tilt, and then slowly fade out (possibly moving north; which was away from us – it just became smaller until it eventually was unobservable). Definitely not an airplane or helicopter. Was with a group of students and they saw it, too.

Atlanta, GA
While flying from Atlanta, Georgia, to Minneapolis, MN, spotted a solid mat black triangle shaped craft flying at a speed of approximately Mach 2 at an altitude of 31,000 feet. The aircraft was flying towards the commercial aircraft I was in and passed on the right side of the aircraft approximately 500 yds away and 1000 ft lower than my aircraft's altitude. Triangle shaped craft bore no markings and no stabilizers or visible fins. The craft appeared to be smaller than most fighters or personal aircraft and appeared to not have a cockpit of any sort. The craft appeared off the forward right side of the aircraft I was in and then disappeared under the right wing. As far as I know I am the only one to see the craft. I am in the military and I study aircraft that are operated by the U.S. Military. This craft does not match any current operational military aircraft. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Mr. Davenport, I did not inform the aircraft crew of the sighting. For some reason the thought never occurred to me. I have done some research however and I have found a prototype aircraft that is very similar to the aircraft I spotted. The craft that I found is the Boeing Phantom Ray which was produced 7 years ago in St. Louis, Missouri. I hope this helps some. Thank you for your consideration of my report and timely reply.

Fort Collins, CO
I was driving North on i-25 around 7pm. Movement to my left (west) caught my eye. I looked over to see something with green and blue flames engulfing the back end of the object. I was looking at it from its side. The front of the object looked something like the nose section from the side of a C-130 plane. There were no wings or elongated fuselage or tail section and it was much too short to be an airplane. The front half of the object was lit by the bright green and blue flames coming out of the back section. The back section was completely engulfed in flames. Then the flames stopped suddenly when the object was about 200 feet above the ground. For a second I saw a dark object, but I couldn't make out what it was or its general shape and then it was completely lost in the dark. Other than the blue and green flames, the object was not lit up in any way. It was heading mostly north with a little easterly direction too and moving at a 30 degree angle towards the ground. estimate its speed at around 130-150mph. In my opinion, considering the length of the object and the quick glimpse I had as the flames were extinguished, that I was looking at a saucer shaped craft from the side. I have checked multiple times tonight and there have been no reports of a crash site. I also drove around the area where it would have crashed and there were no wrecked buildings or police or fire trucks anywhere to be seen. I saw no fires or smoke. My guess is that there was not an actual crash despite the steep angle towards the ground and the 200 feet or so until impact. No airplane could have navigated away without impacting the ground.

Indianapolis, IN
I'm former Air National Guard, worked for 4 different airlines and Aviation Management major in college. I know the FAA doesn't allow drones at 29,000 feet, especially in Class Bravo airspace. Familiar with both Air National Guard bases in Indiana and know they do not operate this type of object the 3 of us witnessed. Daughter later told me the object had a "green dot or light" on top of disc.

my daughter to look at the stars. Then suddenly a large bright white light passed overhead at about 1000 feet. the craft was heading north and out of sight in seconds. With the distance it traveled in seconds, i estimated that it was traveling at around 1350 mph + . There was no engine sound or sonic boom. minutes later i saw the blinking lights of a jet at altitude and i could barely hear its engines and the unknown craft was much closer !

10/25/17 & 10/26/17 10/25/17 06:50 From my back deck, observing Orion I first witnessed a meteor from what I assumed to be my final expectations of the Orionid shower. Then suddenly as I looked back at Orion’s belt a solid white light appeared near the Alnilam star, moving north, north west approximately 5 degree off due north. It moved fairly slowly and appeared to be very high in the sky. To confirm my suspicions a plane with blinking lights came from the northwest moving to the southeast. They intersected (from my view) and the UFO continued to move in a straight line finally disappearing from view after a full minute of viewing. I turned to view Castor and Pollux, and almost immediately witnessed yet another solid white light moving slowly in the sky coming from I believe to be the Gomeisa and Procyon area moving slowly towards Castor and Pollox. I observed this movement for about 20-30 seconds. Needless to say, a meteor was joyful enough, but to observe two UFOs within minutes. I was charged up all day. 10/26/17 06:55 So naturally, I went back out this morning. Looking towards Orion of course hoping to see another meteor or anything moving I began scanning the sky and again looked towards Castor and Pollux and suddenly in the direction of the M44 cluster a solid white light, larger than the one’s observed yesterday, appeared. Its movement was much different. Initially, it moved to the northwest slowly like the others and then began to turn due north and rapidly increase speed around zenith. The light began to fade yet I was able to continue observing its speed and direction. It continued arching north for a few more seconds then seemed to completely stop but immediately picked up it’s prior speed along what seemed to be the same arch yet at this point it was arching towards the east and I lost sight. The original speed seemed much like a plane but the increase and higher speeds were not speeds at which normal aircraft could maneuver, moving across an elbow to finger tips worth of (zenith) sky in mere seconds.

Jackson, TN
Wednesday morning around 3 am I got a call from a friend of mine while I was at work telling me to go outside and look up. When I went out she was already outside looking up with a shocked dumbfounded look on her face. I could even see cars pulled over on the main highway staring up. I looked up and saw a large black aircraft with 3 lights shaped into a triangle hovering less than 20 ft from our roof. It stayed there around 2-3 minutes before flying off. It made no noise at all and was about the size of 2 jets. Still checking the news in our area to see of anyone reported it.

Last night we seed over at south-east a bright circle with many lights in it changing colors and flying up and down and sideways the other one was exactly the same but this was north-west this in relation of Sonoma, Ca. I had seen this before, the first time was like a month ago and they seem to appear quite often.

Black Creek, NC
I witnessed something strange at 1:55 AM Eastern time on Wednesday, October 25, 2017 in Black Creek, North Carolina, my hometown. In the eastern/northeastern sky as I was just about a mile northwest of town driving into it on US Highway 117, I saw two bright white flashes out of the corner of my eye. It looked almost like a strobe from a cell phone tower, but there isn’t a tower near where I saw this. And unfortunately, I only saw this in my peripheral vision, but I could tell it came from my left, from the east. It was too bright to be a cell tower anyhow; it immediately grabbed my attention. I kept staring off to the east while trying to keep my eyes on the road at the same time. I got a good look at what happened next. This was in a slightly different area of the sky; the strobe lights looked maybe a little north of east, but this was due east. It looked like a firework, the white ball type that explode into orange sparks and aren’t really pretty but just make a lot of noise. I saw one just above the treeline, but I could tell it was distant, not coming from town, which I was approaching. There was no sound and my window was partway down; the radio was on Coast To Coast but it wasn’t too loud. A firework surely would have made sound and this was a ways away. It was just barely above the treeline, sort of like seeing lightning in a thunderhead miles away. There were no storms on the radar and not a cloud in the sky, though, nor did this look like any kind of storm. My thought was that if this were a firework, I shouldn’t have been able to see it for as ! far away as I appeared to be from it. Also, as I stated, it was in a different part of the sky from the first flashes. The oddest part of what I saw was that the sparks that were left upon the disappearance of the white ball seemed to form some type of ring, not a solid cloud of orange sparks. There was some type of object obscuring the cloud of sparks leaving the outer fringes visible. The obstruction looked like a thunderhead, but far too low in the sky. It was shaped kind of like the crown of a diamond, again just barely above the trees. It disappeared rapidly when the sparks faded, and my town was quiet when I came home, and I saw nothing else amiss. I have never seen anything like it in my life and was never really a deep believer in UFOs. I really want to learn if anyone else saw this late Tuesday night/very early Wednesday morning, or has ever seen anything like this before. The best description would be those ugly loud fireworks, but so much of it doesn’t make sense. It was quiet and too far away, so what I saw had to be good-sized. And who really shoots off fireworks at two in the morning? In my small town, that will draw out the cops! Seymour Johnson Air Force Base is about twenty miles south of me; was this some kind of elaborate war game or something? I just know it scared me a bit. It sounds atypical of reports I’ve heard Mr. Davenport read on-air (I listen often but not always, as much as I can). I just really want to know if anyone else has ever seen this, or this particular thing I saw.
