September 12, 2017 · 12:50 AM · LIGHT

Driving north on Interstate 5, between mile markers 80 and 81, just north of Chehalis, WA. Time was approx. 12:50 pm, Sept. 12th, 2017. I may be off on the exact time, it happened two weeks ago and I haven't posted this until now. My attention was drawn to a large round white object moving across my field of view from right to left; it looked like it had a white trail behind it as it was moving very fast and also at a relatively low altitude. I don't know how to estimate the altitude exactly but I'd say it was maybe 3 to 4 thousand feet high. At first, I thought it was a reflection on my windshield, but as I followed it with my eyes, I saw it out my rolled down driver-side window. Definitely something in the sky moving fast and low in a generally West direction. Maybe slightly north of west. The entire event lasted 2 to 3 seconds but was pretty impressive. Didn't hear any sounds or notice any electronic effects. Not the first time I've seen a UFO on this general flight path in this area.

Detroit (northwest area), MI

At approx 10:30pm EST, on Sept. 11, 2017, my father and I witnessed an orange, flickering light. It appeared to be at an extremely high altitude (if even in the atmosphere). Its size resembled that of a star in the sky. It displayed inconsistent flickering, which slowly faded out after approx. 1.5 to 2 minutes. Object moved in a consistent path/line from southeast to northwest, at a constant, slow speed. There was no trail/tail either. The object did not emit any sound. As a side note, according to aerospace.org, there were no reentries since September 3rd, with the next being September 15th.

Vancouver, WA

I was in my backyard getting my dogs in and looked up to the west and noticed a steady blinking red and white very high in the sky, I just kept watching it. Then I noticed more than one helicopter fly past me heading in that direction. Whatever it is, it's blinking, which caught my eye, looks like it has a tail of some sort. Totally weird. I thought it may be the ISS but that's over Great Britain right now. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

Bristol, VA

Last night the most incredible thing happened to my family and I. First time was around 830pm, I believe. I was playing my playstation and the wife was in bed, when all of a sudden a bright light filled the sky and my whole inside of the house. It lasted 1 second. Then it was immediately followed the strangest sound that I've ever hear in my life (I'm military and have heard a lot of things). It was horribly loud and sound like a grinding metal mixed with a deep scream! It shook the house and the neighborhood. My wife jumped out of bed and couldn't believe It! It immediately was followed by a white blinding light and that sound again. I went outside to see if it was a transformer but there was no storm and nothing was wrong. My neighbors asked what happened and then went inside. I came back in and tried to forget but it happened again at 200am! This with a pattern of 3 times! It woke my wife up again! And my kids this time. I looked outside and still nothing. 400am was it happened again with a pattern of 3 times! The vibration of it made me feel sick! I didn't sleep at all trying to figure this out. I just couldn't. My power company didn't have any idea nor did anybody else! I never lost power! I posted what had happened on facebook and have gotten people messaging me saying they heard or saw it too! I had one lady say her lights flickered off and on in her car as she drove by the neighborhood. Odd??? The part that gets me the most is the lights and sounds had an order to them. It wasn't a coincidence or damage with something electric. It had a pattern. If you can help me out here I would appreciate it! I've never been big on this kind of stuff but I just can't deny what just happened to us. Should I worry? Are we in some kind of trouble or was it a one time thing? Nothing has happened since the other night! We spoke with the witness via telephone, and he sounded to us to be serious-minded. PD

Alto, MI

UFO Sighting, September 11, 2017, 6am, Alto, Michigan 49302 I awoke and looked out my kitchen window to see a circular object with white and red or orange lights rotating around it. We live near an airport, so at first, I thought it was a plane, but on closer inspection it seemed round and smaller than an airplane. It moved very slowly in one direction and then hovered. It was probably one half mile from me in the still dark morning sky. I was looking towards the west. As it hovered, the lights went around the perimeter of the circular object rotating white/orange. It seemed to also send out some sort of strobe light that sent a whitish illumination out into the sky around it periodically. This lasted for probably five minutes and then it just disappeared, without moving forward or backward. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Saint Louis, MO

Me and my father were sitting down on our back deck at around 2 am. I was around 9 years old when this occurred, we heard a loud vibrational noise kind of like a light bulb. I looked up and saw what I thought was a helicopter, I then told my father to look up and as he did it flashed a huge light over our yard. About 3 seconds later it flew off across the night sky. When I think of it I remember helicopters can't go that close to the ground, and I know for a fact drones are not that big.

Mantorville, MN

At this point we were thinking it was just a lightning storm, but the flashes started to turn brighter, and instead of white, they were now green. Freaked out at this point, we were going to the car to drive towards the direction of whatever this thing was. As we were getting into the car, a plane passed overhead, but it made absolutely no noise. It was completely silent. My commute to work every day takes me oast an airport, so I have seen many planes land up close, and I have NEVER seen a plane fly this low and this quietly. As it passed over us, you could feel the force of this thing and it came close to knocking us over. Scared and curious, we finally started driving towards these flashes. After about 5 miles, we could see what looked like a giant cloud in the sky, almost like a hurricane you see on weather radar. Some kind of hole where these flashes were coming from. We park on the side of the road to look, and the plane comes back. Whatever the hell this thing was, it came about 100 yards in front of us, and just hovered. It just hovered and stared at us. Incredibly scared now, we drive back home and went to bed. I am really at a loss of words as to what I saw. Just a side note, our dog was acting incredibly strange all day that day. He hid under the bed which is not like him at all. Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

New York City (Brooklyn), NY

My husband saw a glowing orange sphere travel east to west outside our large factory window. He told me to come see what he thought was a “helicopter on fire.” The object was large, at least the size of a helicopter. Planes coming and leaving La Guardia airport continued to fly in their usual paths. They were distinguishable as planes. This object was indistinguishable. It did not sparkle, but its colors shined with a twinkling quality, and its colors of orange and red rotated or mixed like lava. It hovered as I approached the window and stayed completely stationary for about three minutes above buildings at about half a mile away. It was soundless. My husband said the sphere appeared to be dropping debris. He saw glowing, orange debris drop four or five times. I saw it drop debris the last instance. The debris appeared to be liquid, like molten lava. It dropped about 20-30 feet and disappeared. The orange and red sphere was only a sphere. No tail, blade, or landing skids could be seen, which would have been illuminated had it been some kind of aircraft on fire. At this point, my husband began taking a video with his iPhone. I became very alarmed, thinking, if it were a helicopter, it would be going down, without question, because for that much debris to fall, the interior of the helicopter would have to be completely aflame. But there was no smoke and no actual flames. Just the look of something hot and burning, which grew slightly in intensity. The sphere seemed more to be emitting light than on fire. Finally, the sphere started flying upwards. We watched it ascend at a slight angle east another two minutes before it disappeared into far up into space traveling about as fast as a plane, but at an altitude much higher than we have seen planes fly.

North Las Vegas, NV

Crescent/chevron/boomerang shaped HUGE (200-300ft across) craft flying very low and completely silently over fiesta casino parking lot. Was shining flashlight into air at other odd crafts/lights and it flew over and stopped to check us out. Crescent shaped front and jagged back. Almost camouflaged into sky because it was so matt black. Could only see when directly over head, then slowly flew out of view. There were helicopters and fighter jets everywhere and other unidentifyed crafts/lights moving around in the area that we were shining our flashlight at and that's when this large craft showed up over us because we were investigating the other crafts. May have been small red lights on craft, but very dim.

Birmingham, AL

Object moving East to West silently approx 75 degrees above horizon. Apparent size that of a penney held at arms length. Object was moving above or through broken clouds which may have contributed to a bit of transluscence. Color of object was indistinct but seemed to have a brown overtone with some other hints of yellow pale orange that seemed to partially frame a rectangular subshape-curved on the front, squaarish in the rear. Perhaps oval overall, hard to say. Object went across about a third of the sky in 2 seconds before disappearing behind trees. I am a regular observer of the night sky, having a telescope for many years. Never saw an object like this, ever. Perhaps could have been much higher if perhaps it was a bollide or some object in the upper atmosphere- it would have to have been moving extremely fast. Did not really look like any shooting star I've ever seen, and I have seen many. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sober-minded. We suspect that he is an exceptionally capable, and reliable, witness. PD

Goldsboro, NC

Checked my trail camera one day after this picture was taken. After words my buddy, his girl friend and I were all puzzled asking questions like: Could this be a pixilation? So far out of the cameras sensitivity range (50 feet) how was the picture triggered? (Object appears to be 70-80 yards away) Why was the clocked stopped?. I feel like a seasoned outdoorsmen, but I've to make since of this picture, I'm still timid to hunt this area since the pic, please help. Object in photo is very strange, but we are unable to certify that it has anything to do with an alien spacecraft. The top of the object is the general shape of a quadcopter, we observe, but we cannot explain the "legs" that appear below the object. PD

Watertown, MA

I was laying on the hammock outside looking up when I noticed two faint orbs appear that were initially side by side then a third one joined in from behind them. They were much higher up than a plane would be and were moving side to side ever so slightly. My mom was outside with me and she saw the same thing. Slight greenish hue to them. They disappeared after about 15 seconds and, due to the sun, I could not see them anymore.

Riverside, CA

Sunday morning September 9, 2017, between 1000 hours and 1100 hours, I was working on a vehicle in my driveway, when I noticed movement in the sky to my north-west. The flash(es) caught my attention as I thought it might be an aircraft making a turn and a reflection was off of a cockpit windscreen. I watched an object at an elevation of estimated 5,000 to 8,000 feet moving from north to south. The object moved at a consistent speed and elevation. The weather was warm with full sun with a very light breeze, barely discernible from south to north, with light scattered clouds that the object moved through or behind in its track. Flashing as it moved through the sky. I was able to retrieve a pair of binoculars to get a better visual on the object. By this time my son and wife joined in the watching this unknown object and kept track of its location. The object had stopped and was now stationary in the western sky for about 5 minutes. With the binoculars, I could not discern its shape; but the top and bottom portions were flashing separately and very brightly. The object was emitting brilliant white flashes alternating from what I would describe the top half and bottom half of the object. It appeared as though the two halves were rotating independently. I was not able to determine shape. I looked away for about 10 seconds to adjust the binoculars and I lost sight of the object. My son watched it as it moved abruptly to the west an undetermined distance and it was now, from my position, lower towards the horizon. The object moved west until it was out of visual range.

Quakertown, PA

I had fallen asleep around 11pm and around 2am I started having a dream that I was floating in the stars in mid air. Around 3am I woke up I found myself in my bedroom on my bed lying on my side. I saw a female alien 4 ft tall in front of me standing three feet away from me. I felt 3 male 6ft tall aliens behind me. As I woke up the female alien was approximately 4ft tall she blew in the dark the colors of a glitter turquoise, gray, silverish mix. Her eyes looked relaxed and small, but than I screamed and she shape-shifted and grew one foot taller and her eyes expanded upside down almond black. She than telepathically made my vision go away because she knew I was terrified. My body was paralyzed I couldn't do anything she was telepathically too strong but within 10mins they disappeared and I didn't watch them ascend etc. My eyes had been shut. We tried to contact the witness, in attempt to certify the report is a serious account of a real experience, but were unable to reach her. PD
