Staten Island, NY
On, or around, September of 2017, while watching TV (8 or 9pm), I felt a strange pull/need to look to my left out my window, where I saw a golden orb hovering about 6-8 feet out from my fifth floor apartment window ledge. I got up and went to the window where it continued to hover for 30-45 additional seconds. The orb, which was slightly larger than a full moon, glowed with a golden light. While it hovered there I thought, "What is this, a drone?" I tried to see an outline within the glowing orb, but couldn't detect any image whatsoever. It hovered for at least thirty seconds then slowly moved from east to west then northwest. As it moved away it seemed to be on a level altitude. I watched until it was blocked by a neighboring building from view. A helicopter followed the orb a minute later, following between the two buildings! As I live close to three airports, and live in a densely populated city, I see airplanes, large and small, and helicopters (traffic and others) regularly. All follow the same flight paths. I have never seen any orb, much less an aircraft (i.e. helicopter), travel between two buildings. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Dear Mr. Davenport, I filed my report from Staten Island yesterday regarding sighting a golden glowing orb. Upon further thought, I should have included the following important details: 1. The orb was completely without sound 2. The golden glow of the orb neither vacillated, nor flickered. It was a continuous glow. 3. When the orb moved away, it did so slowly and steadily and proceeded to maintain the same speed as it moved east to west and then northwest until it was obscured from view by a building. The distance traveled that I could see of approximately 2 miles. I know this because it is the distance I travel daily on my route to work. Thank you. ((END ADDENDUM)) We spoke via telephone with the source of this report, and we found her to be exceptionally eloquent and sober-minded. We suspect that she is an excellent witness. PD

Observed large white light in sky approx 4 miles up with smoke trail following; observed what appeared to be a separate light directly above it some 500 ft higher of a slight orange color. Both traveling at same speed in same direction, coming from S E headed N E. Cloudless sky. After 3 min of watching, orange light disappeared, 5 sec later, white lit object disappeared as did the smoke trail. Disappeared as in an unusual way, not behind a cloud.

I talked to my Nephew and he said it would be fine to use his name. I will put contact in later in the report. We have received no photos, that we are aware of, and we have attempted to contact the source of the report on two occasions, but unsuccessfully. PD

Half Moon Bay, CA
The craft was seen at Half Moon Bay, CA. The craft is located above and just left of the rock in the ocean. You must have the ability to zoom in. In my opinion it is something beyond what you can expect to see in our skies. The source of the report identifies himself as a former member of the military, from which he retired. We spoke with him via telephone, and he seemed to us to be quite serious-minded. We suspect he is an excellent witness. However, our suspicion is that the object captured in the photo, which was not noticed at the time the photo was taken, may be a Frisbee. PD

Vaiden, MS
On September 2nd, my older sister and I were outside at my grandparents' house when we saw the object. My grandparents live in the middle of nowhere in Vaiden, Mississippi. They’re neighbors live at least 10 acres away from them and their house is surrounded by dense woods. We were outside looking at the stars after having a bonfire. It was about 8:30-9:30 pm and extremely dark outside. We were looking at the sky and my sister suddenly got really quiet and pointed at this object that was very close to us. It was an oval shape with about 6 lights around the exterior. It flew above the tree line, and moved back and forth in the sky, and eventually took off behind the trees. Some of the lights were blue, orange, and red. A couple of years earlier, we went to my grandparents house, and we saw the exact same object fly past our car window on the way home at about 9:00 pm. We stood there shocked, especially me because I saw the same object and it left me with the s! ame feeling. I hope this organization can look over this encounter and take this message seriously. I’ve always been fascinated by extraterrestrials and science, but I truly cannot find an explanation for this occurrence. Please review this information to be used for future cases with UFOs, thank you.

I was sitting on my front porch looking east watching the night sky when I noticed something moving, as I looked at it there was no sound or no lights but a light haze, it looked from what I could make out a dark green it moved at a steady speed going southwest, I stood up and run to the side of my house but I lost it in the large trees behind my house.

Morgantown, WV
My boyfriend was driving me home one night. All of the sudden i pointed out a weird glowing object in the sky standing still. He stopped the car on the road to look at it too. When the car stopped, the object started moving in a straight line towards direction, would stop, and fly back to where the object originally was. When the object would pause in mid-air, it would change colors from white to blue, then back to white. My boyfriend decided to keep driving and i turned around in my seat to look for the object and it disappeared.

Oil City, PA
My wife and I were in our hot tub around 930 at night, when in the eastern sky, we saw a white glow out of the glow shot 2 pale green lights that were coming straight in our direction, then suddenly banked off to our left, then the green lights and the glow all disappeared at the same time, like someone flipped a switch. my impression was it was like a portal opened and a craft flew threw I think the green lights were one object, but my wife tHought the 2 green lights were 2 separate objects it made no noise it was perhaps a half mile away...very strange. Witness indicates that the date above is approximate. PD

It moved from south to north at a steady but slow pace.... We had trees near us that obscured it partially, but actually had time to try [unsuccessfully] to get our wives to come out and view this. We had been out on our pontoon less than an hour earlier on probably the calmest evening I can ever remember so thinking this was a burning ember being blown about by the wind wouldn't have made sense.

Lewistown, IL
I am a 56 year old female, with two years of college education and I have worked in county government for 36 years. My friend is 57 years old and an elementary school teacher. She has a Bachelor’s and two Master’s degrees in the field of education. Her husband is 72 years old and retired. He Is a US Navy veteran of the Vietnam War, is also a college graduate. He returned to this area and retired from the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. We are all from Fulton County originally and have lived in this area most of our lives. We were enjoying an evening campfire on their property which is located approximately 2 ½ miles southwest of Lewistown, IL. Around 8:30 pm, I was kicked back in a zero gravity chair, when I noticed a mostly red light moving horizontally across the sky. The way we were sitting, my friends had their backs to it, and so, I immediately started yelling for them to look! We like to go to this same spot to enjoy the yearly Perseid or Leonid meteor showers and at first, I thought we were being treated to a rather large random meteor. However, that was not the case. It continued to move slowly across the sky in a southwest to northeast direction. While we were focused on it as it moved away from us, I noticed another one coming from the same area! It was the same thing, a solid, mostly red light, moving slowly and in a southwest to northeasterly direction. When I say mostly red, it is because it did appear to have some white with it or around it. My friend was able to get ! some video of it using her iPhone. Needless to say, this sparked some very lively discussion for a while as we speculated on a possible explanation for them. There was no noise of any kind associated with them, they were not huge and we guessed they were flying at 500’ or less. We almost immediately thought of them as drones of some sort, but, then wondered about the logistics and legalities of flying them at night? We also thought it might be some sort of study being conducted by the Department of Natural Resources or some other such agency, perhaps studying animal activity at night? Along those lines, we concluded that they were traversing the area in a grid like pattern. We came to that conclusion because the trailing one, while appearing to follow the first, was offset, so to speak, flying at the same altitude, but, parallel to the first and not directly behind it. We were still in the same location, I was again kicked back in the zero gravity lawn chair and at 9:20 or so, when another one appeared!! Same size, same color, everything. It was much farther offset than the first two, but, traveling in the same general direction and at the same altitude and speed as the first two. We waited and watched the sky for quite some time, thinking another “trailer” might be behind it, but, we didn’t see anymore. We wondered, if perhaps, we had missed the lead one and the one we saw this time was the second one? Again, there was no noise associated with it, nothing that would have made you look up, I just happened to be looking up. All three of them just moved steadily across the sky until they appeared to blink in and out until you couldn’t see them anymore. We didn’t feel like they “disappeared.” It was more like, they just got far away and probably went behind the cloud cover. We left probably 40 minutes after the second sighting and went back to town. None of us had seen anything like them before.

We are uncertain as to whether this is a serious report, or a hoax. We have attempted to contact the source, via both telephone, and e-mail, but have been unsuccessful in getting him, or her, to respond. PD

Winslow, ME
Saw 2 lights blinking in the sky. I first thought stars or airplanes but even though they first stayed in place they did move a little. Then one started to move up. Not like anything I have ever seen. It was a controlled upward motion. The other one stayed in place and it was bright and flashing. My husband woke up and I showed him the two lights. The light that had moved up wasn't obvious to him. However the other brighter light staying place but flashing he noticed and said it seemed odd. My husband and I are professionals, we are not believers but we also believe in possibilities. We aren't sure what we saw, what we are sure of is we haven't ever seen anything like it before.

Greenville, RI
I went downstairs to get a drink, and decided, for some reason, to look out the front door. Above my neighbor's house were two crafts with flashing lights like a strobe. I went outside and watched and they appeared to almost be dancing in the sky. I went to get my phone to record it and, as I aimed my phone towards the sky, each craft took off in opposite directions at lightning speeds and disappeared into the sky

I was driving home later at night. Full moon in the front of my windshield when a light shined on me from a little behind my drivers window. Expecting to be pulled over i looked over for my eyes to meet a large oval object hovering about 75ft away about 100ft up. Very large. Shined on me and didn't move for about 15 seconds. Disappeared leaving light stains in my eyes. Unsure if time was lost.

Chico, CA
I was taking a picture of this planet, and video taping it. Along with two bright objects sitting in the center of the view of the camera. This video attached is 1:19 seconds long, one minute 19 seconds long. At the first of the video you will see birds flying in and around the view. At the one minute mark a UFO comes from the bottom left and moves to the top RIGHT. At first when i saw this, i just thought it was a bird flying. it is actually a UFO, saucer shaped oval shape, with energy coming out both sides making it look like an upside down V or upside down U. Freeze this video and take a still picture and negative picture. You can see the object is oval, emitting energy out from the sides , both sides. At first the video shows a planet in the bottom left at the 7 o'clock position, and a meteor in the middle, that is the bright spot, and a meteor to the left of it curving around. The meteor in the middle is headed towards earth.. It has been in that position a long time. I believe the two bright objects at the top and bottom that are horizontal are some kind of space station. This video was taken on ; Friday, September 1, ;2017, &10:21:33 PM, about 70 to 80 degrees looking east above the horizon, of Chico, Calif. Looking almost straight up from my back yard. One fist doubled up is one degree. Check it out, when this UFO went backwards zapping this meteor, I knew then , and later when re-looking at it, that it was not a BIRD It does not look like the birds flying around in the first part of the Video. birds do not fly backwards. watch it tell me what you think, and I will tell you what I think. I believe a UFO or military vehicle it moving this meteor away from hitting earth. Oh, this happened at night, and I could not see any of this brightness with my unaided eye...only on IFA RED, with my FLIR ONE ATTACHMENT to my I phone 5 camera. Not on a digital camera.. VIDEO is sent to the email address below. We received and viewed the "false color" video, and cannot be certain that we see either the alleged meteor, or the alleged UFO. We do see an object that appears to us to be possibly a spider, seemingly climbing up a spider web, but we cannot be sure what the object is. We have conveyed this information to the source of the video, and he disagrees strongly with our assessment of the footage. In another video from the witness, we see what we suspect are insects in flight. PD

We were returning entering the gate to our farm. There was a shoe shaped craft hovering low. We are researching ufo and alien life forms. I said welcome galactic travelers. You are welcome to land. They did. We have photos of the Grey alien with a multi armed robot. Has returned 3 times more.

I've actually seen the space station fly over and it looked like it a night light compared with the light in the sky. It's the second time that I've seen it, but this time I checked the time on my phone I don't think my camera is able to actually pick it up. I really don't know what it is I seen but don't know who to ask thank you, Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD
