During the eclipse, I snapped 11 shots on my cell phone, each picture within micro seconds of each other. One of the pictures showed a disk shape image with a very bright white light on the center bottom. Other pictures taken showed a bright light in the sky. This was not the moon! The eclipse was happening at the time I snapped the photo, therefore, the sun and moon were overlapping which would have produced 1 image.

Was watching the 2017 solar eclipse and tried to take a picture of it while a plane was flying by to be artsy. Noticed a small circular craft far away, didn't think much of it, but captured a picture of the incident. Zoomed in and realized it was a ufo.

I was out taking pictures of the eclipse today and was just snapping away trying to get a decent photo. I did not have glasses so I was just pointing my pixel phone up at the sky with the camera set in selfie mode. When I went into the house to look at them, and delete the horrible ones (which there were many), I noticed a dark spot in one of them. I zoomed in and saw something that I don’t know what it is. It certainly doesn’t look like an airplane. Perhaps you can look at see what you might think it is. I will send the original photo and a zoomed in version via email. This was taken at 2:39pm today.

I was taking video of the Sun during the eclipse that happened about a year ago. Later that evening while I was reviewing the video, I was astounded to see something fly past in only 3 or 4 frames of video. I think the video frame rate was 30 fps. My calculations show that the object was moving at around 3,000 mph, yet no noise came from it at all. Also, there is a cell tower about 100 feet away from where I was video taping.

So we were about to see the full eclipse looking south of where we were and up in the sky wants the eclipse took over everything went pretty dark but you could still see a horizon if you turn 360°. It was absolutely beautiful we saw the eclipse through the eyeglasses and there is nothing like it. I turned around and was admiring everything else and as the sun started to come back out the area Brighton to back up and as it did I saw a red light in the sky. most red lights we see here in Nashville move around across the sky very slowly and generally are blinking because they're attached to an aircraft they don't move up and down and don't move very quickly at all. What I saw moved from in the clouds in my perspective about 2 inches down from the cloud area to below The cloud area in a matter of milliseconds. Absolutely no aircraft can move that fast. That's to my knowledge at least. Now of course the 10 or 12 people around me I started telling them do y'all see that red light in the sky and as I told them it move down very fast and stopped the red light started to turn white and then it started to sending back to the earth and very slowly disappeared behind the tree line. Now this craft was not 100 feet away I'm sure it was at least 1 to 5 miles away. In some of the photos that I took I pointed at where it was coming down after everything happened. So I could document exactly where it was and see if there was some aviation thing that the government may have been tested. I'd love for someone to check that out and get back to me but I'm pretty sure I know what I saw and it moved extremely fast from one point to the next as many UFOs that are reported do. And courage everyone to check this out as this is the first one I have ever seen if it is a real UFO and it was very exciting. Kudos to anyone else who catches something like this on video or photographs please always record it so we can all enjoy what just very few of us have seen. I am including my contact info on the main page if the The reporting agency wants to contact me.

Oddly, I didn’t watch the video until the following day, and what I saw was totally "out of this world" (pun intended). I saw several white orbs with lights and a mist of particles or gases of some sort. But the most INCREDIBLE sight of it all was the circular Extraterrestrial Craft that darted out of the mist or gas. It then made an abrupt stop, then what appears to be fire or lights come on or out of it, it then spins in circles for a few seconds and finally shoots off in a zigzag form at a speed that is totally unbelievable! We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite sincere, in describing his sighting. PD

This craft was not i ed today at towards the end of the eclipse noticed shadow moving across sky like it was cloaked but I could see its large wing formation. There were no other types of craft in the air at this time and this craft went in a sideways direction. It remained the same shadow even after coming through the clouds and into the sky .

Colorado Springs, CO
During the onset of the partial solar eclipse in Colorado Springs, my partner and I took photographs of what appeared to be small stratus clouds forming over the mountains -- as outdoor air temperatures dropped with the temporary reduction in solar heating. We took 9 photos over a 5 minutes period, between 11:46 am and 11:51 am Mountain Time. Our home has an excellent view of Pikes Peak, the mountain range west of the city and we frequently take weather photos. We reviewed the photos a few hours later and first noticed the anomalous dark image in the second picture taken at 11:47 am. It was taken with a Motorola Droid Turbo 2 smartphone. What’s ironic is that, when taking the photo, we saw a long cloud formation over the southern flank of mountains and I said aloud in jest “that looks like a mother ship”. The anomalous dark object is above and to the left of the long cloud formation in the photo. The dark object is a bit blurry but obvious to the eye. No other photos taken have shown anything unusual, apart from the small cloud formations which quickly formed in an otherwise clear sky and then dissipated after the solar eclipse. We’re used to seeing large birds, planes, helicopters, even drones, fly the skies in our area. But the dark object in the photo doesn’t resemble any of these, which I believe we would have readily noticed at the time.

I set up an IPHONE 6 on a picnic table setting camera to time lapse mode facing east as eclipse had already started got video of before and after shadow came over us. After that happened I sent the video to my friend who has cancer to show him what the eclipse looked like here, moments later he sent me back a screen shot of something in the sky in my video and he asked me is that an UFO joking about it. So I went to my time lapse video and looked it over and found that some object is in the video that had flown over us so fast we did not see or hear it and you can see it was going the same speed as the eclipse shadow speed was also going. The video shows that the camera was lucky to catch the UFO on time lapse that split second. When I froze the frame, it looks like a cloud in the shape of an arrow; when I zoomed in, there is like vapor all around something dark in the middle of the vapor. I have posted to YOU TUBE under UFO cloud during eclipse in western Idaho. Give it a look please. I know the speed of the eclipse shadow was 2400 mph the same for the UFO.

The crafts were large and disk like. All were bright and had a silver-ish color. Some had blinking orange lights. I could hear a low toned humming. I counted 18, but there could have been more. Some family and friends saw this. I didn't see them appear, but when they left it was like they vanished. Just popped out of existence. I could see them very well. Also, all of the gas in our cars started leaking out. My watch stopped. Camera photos became over exposed

Hi Peter, We spoke briefly last week and you asked me to send over a email so here it is. I went and took your advice and uploaded a bunch of videos and made a youtube page so here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzXmN_nmfoPcmPrqw38QN4A So on the morning of aug 21st i was awoke around 430am and thought it was to early to let the dogs out (i usually wake up around 630am to do this) and the next think i knew i was at my front window peeping out and my phone starts ringing from a strange number and kept making my phone light up. i did not answer given the time but then when i checked my phone later after i remembered (it was all a blur) the numbers were no longer in my missed calls. So after the call thing the next thing i remember is standing at my back door about to let the dos out. I noticed the light across the lake doing things it I’ve never noticed (I’ve lived here for 4 years) and when i asked my buddy who lives next door to him he said the guy doesn’t even have a light and that it is a reflector. Anyways, i took my camera out and you will be able to see the light across the lake start acting crazy. after a while i noticed something in the sky that looked like a triangle inside of some kind of bubble jumping all over the place. When i looked around i noticed another bright light in the sky to the left of this object that would get bright as well and when i filmed it, it was a circle with a bright light around the edge all the way around. i knoticed the reflection in the lake start to get bigger and smaller and it was pitch black out. i got closer to the lake and at first i thought the lake was being drained cause it looked like there were walk ways throughout the lake and sounded like there was something or someone in there. i focused back on the reflection and thought i saw things heading into the light. then when i looked back up at the spinning triangle i noticed what looked like a space ship rising straight up toward the spinning triangle, come to a complete stop for a few seconds and then precede toward the other bright light (with the light around the whole circle) and stop just under it. when the sun came up i looked in the lake and all the grass on the inside of t! he lake was matted down like a crop circle would look. it was not like that the day before. the grass looks really clean and like you would see on a golf course green but on the inside of the lake. i also noticed what looked to be some kind of chemical on the surface that wasn’t there before either. Im not sure what any of this is or means but in the moment it felt like there was something being hidden in the lake and possibly some kind of moving objects going into the light but not coming back out. A transport of some kind maybe or just nothing at all. yesterday 8-27-17 we had a storm rolling through. i know clouds change shapes and all that but i don’t know if i was just seeing things or making my mind believe i was seeing things but i had the thought that there was things being trasported like machines, planes, sips etc behind these dark clouds. it looked like at one point some kind of sea creatures up there. again this could be nothing at all but would like some feedback on my first part of this email. Also feel free to share my youtube page and videos. thanks again.

I observed one circular bright white light in the sky. To the right of it there was another circular object or triangular that flashed all kinds of different colors. The Colors looked to be a mix of red, blue, and green lights. The Bright white object stayed until daylight and the colored lighted object seemed to slowly pull out of viewing distance after observing it for about an hour and half.

At the end of the Eclipse, I shot these pictures with my Samsung Galaxy Note 5. I was sitting in my SUV and held my phone out of the driver side window. I did not notice anything strange, I was not looking at the sun when I shot these photos. I just looked at them to show my wife and noticed the green oval. It is not in my lens I took the bird picture right after I took the sun shots. I don't know what the green oval is.

August 21, 2017, on August 21, 2017, at approximately 3:10pm, during the Eclipse, I saw what looked to be UFO in nature. I was watching the eclipse, the moon was almost completely done with covering the sun. As I was watching the last of the eclipse, I noted, and so did my husband, a usually odd shape flying what looked like in between the Moon and Sun. It was long in shape and looked to have wings. It looked like it was going extremely fast and I only saw it for a few seconds, if that. It looked black in color and was long and thin and looked like it had wings. Both me and my husband saw it at the same time.

Approximately at 0230 just east of Dateland, AZ, there was a flash of white light that lit up the entire desert as if in broad daylight. My wife and I saw what appeared to be a cone shaped object in a hover off to the north of us probably a couple feet off the ground, it then disappeared as fast as we saw it and another flash happened about thirty seconds later over some hills further northwest probably 12-15 miles away. As an aircraft maintainer in the armed forces, I knew this wasn't anything in our military's catalog of war machines. My wife and I decided to pull off to get gas and get a better look in Tacna, AZ, about 10 minutes after the initial flashes. All the drive to said gas station we continued seeing this object come closer to the highway then move rapidly away. At the gas station we noticed a weird hazy glow coming off of the object, which was still cone shaped with a green light vertically and white lights on the bottom. As we were watching, about five other objects appeared as well all in an odd pattern in the Big Dipper constellation.

Then we see the strangest thing. A meteor shoot up from the horizon. Never seen that before. But figuring the earth is round, sure. About three minutes later (the whole time the iPhone clicking away) we see a almost horizontal fireball shoot across the sky. But instead of a straight trajectory it shoots in a strange curved almost "u" shape. But instead of the common burn out on most meteors it just blinks out. We give each other a high five excited we both saw it. It was very bright. High altitude. Faster then anything I have ever seen in the night sky. But unusual in its trajectory. We talk about it. Stay out till 1 am and collect our phones and go to bed. As I'm laying in bed, I see I caught a series from one fireball. I note the first three captures at 12:01. Progressive fireball. Again. There was no other light source near us to reflect anything. This was all high altitude. And we never noticed the object. However we were getting up and moving around and there were moments we were not staring at the sky. I tried zooming on the object. Unable to identify. And although it was pitch black except for the stars I can't explain it. If you notice. The stars in the background are crisp. If it were an image of a blurred star all of the stars would be blurred. The biggest hangup was the speed at which the previous "meteor" was traveling, and its obvious altitude. And how it traveled in almost a cursive u course. How bright it was and the way its "tail" hung in the sky, as if it were almost drawn with a white glowing pen. I'm not sure we were meant to see this. I'm not even sure what it is. However, I do feel people fail to notice these things because they don't take the time to sit three hours staring at the sky. Any thoughts?

I was watching the Eclipse with my husband and maybe 25 other people I didn't know. I had my Eclipse glasses on, while snapping off photos of the Sun on my cell phone camera. I didn't see the extra little light that entered the photos until I was looking at the pictures later. Picture shows a single Dome shaped object with a pinkish/yellow ring brightest on bottom side of the dome with an even brighter White ball of light in center of pinkish/yellow ring.

The events occurred on the deck off porch of home on beach near cross streets North Ocean Blvd and 39th Ave N. around midnight for four nights in a row after the solar eclipse August 21st, 2017. Each event started with one light over the ocean moving about and up and down. We observed the lights with our naked eyes but used binoculars during the event. With the binoculars we could see they were orbs. The lights were individually white, red, blue, and green. The first orb was white. When it moved close to the surface of the ocean we could see light reflecting off the water. After about 15 to 20 mins. The single white orb moved up further above the water and seemed to emit three new smaller orbs that were individually red, blue, and green. The new smaller colored orbs moved around and all around the larger white orb and moved at right angles at times as the moved away from the orb. They seemed almost playful at times but more often looked as if they were looki! ng for something. They never left the orb. \After about 20 mins. The three orbs disappeared slowly. Later Two orbs were again emitted from the larger white orb. One red and one green. These two orbs wandered north and south of the larger white orb at much further distances that the other three orbs. The orbs never came as far as the beach. They stayed well out to sea. After more than and hour and a half the small orbs disappeared. Once the larger white orb was alone the larger white orb slowly when down into the ocean. This repeated very similarly for four nights in a row.

It had mostly a red light and sometimes a green light going around in a almost elliptical pattern. When growing through a pair of binoculars the lights were much like the brightness of led lights. To the bottom left to right were flashing white lights brighter than an aircraft and would disappear, shortly after appearing

Inconsistent rapid flashing light, at the perceptual distance of a star. Some flashes like a flash bulb (very bright) moving NW to SE then slows to single pulsing light at about 15-20 sec intervals, extremely bright for its perceived distance. Slowly kept the 15-20 sec pulses till light weakened.

Looking out West from my patio, I was watching a plane fly by, as this is a very popular route for planes coming from the west. I managed to catch a glimpse of what looked like a satellite, moving across the sky from west to east, being illuminated by the son behind it, flickering on and off. Very bright. Moving just as fast as a satellite mind you. About a minute went by and the craft seemed to stop high above me and just slowly dim out over the course of 10 minutes in one spot. Slightly moving south at this point. I've lost sight of the object as it seems to have just disappeared. Didn't see it move for quite a while.
