London, OH
Got back on my truck drove about 120 miles to Mansfield, OH. I switched the load, head back. I got on the same place on the opposite side on I70 WB. Saw truck and trailer caught on fire. I thought it was random but two days in a row. Same place, same mile marker. Two tractor and trailers caught on fire on separate days.

Lyndon Station, WI
Traveling north on Hwy HH my mother, wife, and I spotted moving orange lights in the northern sky. What started as four hovering lights in the north sky, (much bigger than planets or planes, but still seemingly in the distance) soon multiplied into 8 that began traveling in formation from west to east and up and down. 3 than split and traveled back east fast like shooting stars and came to a halt. Shortly after the group in the east disappeared. The group in the west remained and travelled back to the center of the sky where it to disappeared. We thought the show was over but a minute or so after ten 2 orange lights in the center of the northern sky flashed on like a light switch. From there, they all traveled different directions and turned off like a lite switch seconds latter. These lights do not float like chinnese lanterns or move like any airplane. They change direction 180 degrees instantly. All this was seen from my windshield travelling down hh and hwy z from Lyndon station to Adams.

Gilcrest, CO
I was in Gilcrest, when two extremely dark tiny, comet-shaped clouds were spinning around. They went in an out of clarity, one even disappeared and reapeered. They then just suddenly vanished. I dont think the clouds were UFOs but they might of came from one.

Seattle, WA
On the date of October 3rd, 201,7 at 19:10 (dusk) while working in my back yard I had just dumped some brush down our back hill and was planning to end, due to the vanishing light. As I was returning into the yard, because of the slope, my face was pointing at an upward angle and I saw an object that looked like a small black mound (upon reflection it seemed like a small black cloud) about 12 feet long. At first, I thought a bunch of balloons because of its silence. Then I thought a drone because of it’s speed. But I realized that it was too dense to be a drone(unless a drone can fly with a blanket over it) and it was too consistent in shape for balloons tied together. This was at (according to a later compass reading) NNW 290 degrees, 20 feet above the trees across the street, and about 250 feet away. It proceeded in a horizontal line. After staring at it for 10 seconds I ran into the house to get the binoculars as for some reason even though that close it didn’t seem distinct. As I came back out of the house (I later timed it) 62 seconds later and ran into the street it took a few moments to locate. It was now I estimate over Lowman Beach, about 2-3 blocks away. It was much smaller due to distance away and I could not bring it into focus. There was little to no wind yet this thing may have been moving 15-20mph. No one else was at home and I didn’t call neighbors as I just wanted to get binoculars and get a good look myself first.

Page, AZ
White stationary object in southern sky. Teardrop shaped. Emitted red orbs that descended and then rose again about ten minutes later. One of the orbs appeared to land on an island in Lake Powell for several minutes and then it ascended and joined the white object. After 1-1.5 Hours the white object rose slowly and disappeared-moving in a generally western direction. Many witnesses at Antelope Point and also across town at Horseshoe Bend. There were one or two planes that went by during this incident.

As I was walking down the sidewalk with my 6 year old son, I stopped to put sunglasses on my son. Just after my son put the sunglasses on he looked up toward the sun and said "ah, now I can see better." Followed by "theres a rocketship daddy". I looked up above us at about a 45 degree angle expecting to see a jet headed towards our local airport. What I actually saw was a shiny orb looking object moving suddenly downward while what looked like smoke was coming off of it. The object then moved upward, zig zag down and then move upward again and disappearing very quickly like it was just clicked off like a light switch.

Fraser, MI
I walked outside and looked up at the stars. Orion is in the south and was a clear morning. I looked to the west and noticed a plane flying overhead, with a red blinking light and flashing strobe. Metro airport is south and west of my house location. As I stared at the plane I noticed something that appeared to be as bright as a satellite, noticeable but faint. I stared at this because the faint light appeared to keep the same speed as the plane, off the left wing. I thought, how odd is this, the plane and light were moving from west to east. At about the 11:00 position the plane and light seemed to converge. I thought this was logical because of the difference in altitude between a plane and a satellite, but the light converging on the plane stopped and stood still for 1 or 2 seconds. Then the light moved again, accelerating West in the direction it came from. I looked at my watch, it was 6:08am.

Independence, OR
We were driving on Highway 26, between 2:50 and 3 p.m., headed towards Salem, Oregon, and in the sky over the area that would be Independence. A large object in a circular shape the size of about an automobile there was a metallic flash and a white jet trail that appeared about three times and length of the object itself extremely thick extremely bright white and it seems like the object was moving really fast then it stopped and the vapor trail sucked up into the object and it vanished.

Signal Peak (near), ID
While driving to Montana, we witnessed what we thought was a falling star ... right after it came through the atmosphere it stopped, paused for 3-5 seconds then zipped straight down to only 500-1000 yards above the mountain in under a second ( like a laser pointer zipping across the floor while teasing a cat ) . It again stopped for 2-3 seconds then zipped well over 7 miles towards our right (south of us only 1/2-2/3 miles from us ) and stopped again. This time 5-7 seconds... it was bright but non familiar glow slightly pulsing. Though it was bright - it didn’t light up the mountain side like I would have thought it should . Like a helicopter searchlight would . Then zipped straight past the horizon line away from us to the south in about 1 second or less . From my experience in the military, there is nothing that accelerates like that then comes to a complete stop ! The g forces alone would crush a pilot ! Drones ( even the! classified ones ) use a propellant and would leave a sonic boom ! Nothing , not a single sound was heard . The mountains, usually loud with ambient sounds were silent. We called this hotline to see if anyone knew what we saw and the guy answering was rude . So we said “Fu*k it” and never reported it . Knowing what little I do about our military I figured it was a program I wasn’t involved with and let it be . While flipping through an old news like I saw the video and report s the government leaked . Seeing the “tic tac “ report it sparked the memories we had that night . So, here I am... on a site of what I used to think were people whom had too much time in their hands .. the same people whom like in the city and when in the country, see a bear and report it to be a Bigfoot . I thought you people were all nuts ! I still kinda do . But what I saw is definitely “an unidentifiable aircraft” ! Most of the other reports I believe are explainable in one way or another . But others are truly unidentifiable. So . Hope this helps your data collection. PS: On another note after reading down the questioner here , the drive to the Montana border was supposed to be only 40 minutes away... but we didn’t arrive there until after 3 ? We stopped to take a leak and change a diaper or two on our youngest . But thinking back I’m not sure why . Most likely I was so puzzled by what we saw we were going slower than the speed limit . We were tired so not sure if that’s anything like “ missing time “. Those of us who have young kids know what I mean .. the whole day is “missing Time” when you have kids . NOTE: someone asked me to draw the flight path and notes about the location when I called some years ago . If you like , I can email it to get a better picture for you .

Everett, WA
I was outside with my mom and baby, looking at the night sky. Looking up I saw a crescent shaped UFO. It was a similar color to a dark cloud in the night sky. It was dark grey and it looked like a boomerang. It was moving relatively fast, but I tracked it for about 5 seconds. It moved Northwest to Southeast. It moved from behind one tree directly overhead across to be behind another. I guess it would have been under under 5,000 feet, but it was hard to tell. It was silent as it moved. It was really freaky. It looked like solid smoke. It had no lights and was perfectly shaped. It should also be noted that I live near one of Boeing's manufacturing plants. It could have been military, but it was definitely something I've never seen before.

Rancho Palos Verdes, CA
UFO spotted briefly for >30 seconds, flying dangerously low through a rural residential neighborhood in Rancho PV. UFO appeared to come from behind our vehicle and then along the driver side. UFO was large enough to possibly hold a person or two. Extremely fast/brief movement, obscure/irregular flight pattern (wavy), strangely SILENT, ascended slightly before emitting a neon orange light and seemingly disappearing. No reports made personally, but multiple helicopters began circling with their lights within 5 minutes of sighting.

Gordo, AL
My husband and witnessed a sphere shaped craft appear and lite up very bright and dimmed out numerous times. We seen a second craft behaving in the same manner. They seem to dimming out when airplanes are in the area. We were looking towards the NW and then they turned and went back towards the north. They are still in the area flashing their lights. (as if they are signaling each other) they are moving unlike any other aircraft I have seen. They were in the area a few nights ago, doing the same thing, except they were staying lit up, and moving at a very fast speed, then suddenly, coming to a stop before hovering and moving off in a different direction. I witness this for a couple of hours before moving off. One object is blue and the other object changes from red to blue. No sound associated with the objects. They fluctuate in brightness. No trails are being left.

Lawrenceburg, KY
On the evening of Monday, October 2nd, at approximately 20:05 (8:05 pm) Eastern Time, I was in the yard putting up some tools. I had been doing yard work until sunset and as the light was fading, I was putting away the last items and enjoying the near full moon. The international space station was going to make an observable pass at 8:14 in the northwest, and I wanted to have everything put up and be in position to take advantage of the overflight. I saw the first ‘orb’ in the south east, just under the moon at about 10 degrees above the horizon. (Just over the roof tops and about level with the star ‘I PSA’ (the upper right star in the constellation Pisces). The weather was clear without any clouds in the sky. The orb appeared to be orange in color and was moving at a diagonal to the usual air traffic. Because of this, I grabbed a pair of binoculars and saw that it was not a plane, but a solid ball of orange light. At that point, I ran inside and called for my girlfriend to come see and then ran back outside and over to the neighbors (husband and wife) that were sitting on their front porch. There was just enough light from the setting sun and the near full moon to see the ground while I ran. At this point the first orb had crossed into the south east and faded out of view. The second was almost due south and about 1/4 the size of the nearby moon. By this time I could see in the binoculars that this was not a Chinese lantern, their was never any flickering (like from a candle) in any of the five orbs observed, rather, the light remained constant during the observational period. The orbs were circular and a solid shade of glowing orange. The second orb passed to from south east to west, almost overhead of us, then changed course and headed upward, into (what appeared to be) the atmosphere, fading out of sight. The path the first three orbs took lasted about a minute to transit from southeast toward the west, this second orb shot off in a sort of southerly angle going up into the sky before disappearing. I was using my phone to verify that there were no satellites in the area as I have an app to identify stars, planets, and satellites. Oddly, I did not think to take a picture with the phone until someone suggested it. However, the camera (for the first time since I bought the phone 10 months ago) did not work very well and ‘refused’ to take video, it only allowed one picture which is of limited quality. The other adults present had difficulty getting their cameras to work also, although they were able to eventually have some success. The third orb appeared in the distance, just over the houses in the same area as the first two (Southeast). From my point of view this was just ‘left’ of the moon and geographically would be (approximately) in the direction of Versailles, Kentucky. The third orb followed the same path as the first two and drifted behind some trees before disappearing. Being that the fourth orb was approaching, we focused on it rather than trying to change locations to reacquire the third orb. Again, the third matched the description of the previous two orbs. The fourth orb appeared to change direction to travel west, south-west, it then performed a quick circular maneuver and resumed heading south and away and out of sight behind trees. The fifth orb appeared to dance in the starting location moving around in circles and up and down (similar to watching a child jumping up and down on a trampoline). This fifth and final orb faded from view kind of like ’winking out’ the ways the way stars do in the morning when the sun is rising. Distance is difficult to judge in the fading sunlight and with a target that is of unknown size. I will estimate that the orbs starting point was approximately ten miles away and that at their closest point (of the first three orbs) that they were between a 1/2 mile and 1 mile away. Based on these assumptions, I would suggest that their ‘cruising speed’ was approximately 480 mph. However, when the second orb accelerated into the atmosphere is appeared to streak out of sight within a second. As an amateur astronomer of 40 years, and as a disabled veteran (4 years US Navy, 9 years US Army) that served on the aircraft carrier Midway (CV-41) I am very familiar with terrestrial aircraft, satellites, and other celestial bodies. Further, I have experimented with Chinese lanterns and am familiar with how they look and act in the night sky. Finally, as a trained weather spotter, I stay abreast of local weather conditions. The wind was out of the south at 2 mph. Although the wind direction roughly correlates to the direction of the first three orbs (they were moving in a north westerly direction) the 2mph wind would not allow lanterns to fly at anywhere near the speeds observed!

It seemed to be a bright star in the distance but it was blinking what seemed to be at least three different colors. It was stationary for st least 10 minutes before writing this, and is currently still in the sky while I type this. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

San Francisco, CA
Silver flying object on port side of aircraft at approximately 25,000 feet. Size was approximately 60 feet long. No wings. Traveled in the same direction as the commercial aircraft for approximately 8-10 minutes then made a sudden change in direction at 45 degrees aft and was out of view within 2 seconds. Incredible rate of acceleration. Looked like a pill shape. The reflection of the sun made it difficult to observe fine details in the body but it did not have traditional aircraft wings keeping it aloft. Saw it heading west while I was on board the aircraft as we were descending into San Francisco. Probably around Modesto.

Route 476, PA
Me and a few friends were driving home after taking a trip to Scranton, PA, and while I was looking out the window, I saw a line of three bright lights traveling extremely slow across the sky. I pointed them out to my boyfriend, and he noticed a 4th a bit to the right. We watched them as they slowly progressed though the sky. They seemed to be lower then most planes would be. When one finally flew over head it looked like a triangle of light. We ended up losing sight of all of them after going through a tunnel. It was weird because there were planes flying over us that night, but they moved at a normal speed and were much farther up then these lights.

My friend & I were checking out the sunset, when we saw a fireball hovering in the sky, it lasted for a couple minutes,then reappeared and slowly went to the East, for another couple minutes, not going that far, then quickly got brighter, and seemed to zoom towards us, then flashed brighter & just disappeared.

It was stationary for a min., then started to zig zag in the sky that's when I got my son and my phone I figured it would be gone by the time I got back but it wasn't so I videoed it and it zig zaged some more then shot across the sky to the right at that time my wife pulled in the driveway and i called her to check it out she seen it and at that time it was starting in one place so my daughter came to see and we where freaked out .then my next door neighbor was out side with her dog a came over to see what I was making such a big deal about and she could not believe her eyes. At the time a jet flu by and it still was there it almost seemed Like the jet was there checking it out. The whole ordeal was about an hour or so.

Taos, NM
8:15pm MST Northeastern sky near Andromeda constellation--I thought I was looking at a plane flying across the sky, then I realized the extremely bright light to the left (north) was moving. I noticed it was brilliant white, brighter than Venus in the night sky. After viewing the UFO for the amount of time it takes to smoke a cigarette it “pulled away” the light vanished. I looked again at the sky and the object I thought was a moving plane was still there - either a planet or a star. I had goosebumps over my entire body, when I realized what I had seen. I’ve heard stories of UFO’s flying in and out of Taos Mountain. Maybe they were visiting the pueblo.
