Macomb, MI
Lights first seen outside window. They looked quite close. The cigar shaped objects were glowing orange, like they were on fire, but the whole object was orangy red with no exhaust or flame trail. We went outside to see the objects which then proceeded further North, and then straight up in the sky until disapearing into outerspace. The dogs would not come outside with us, which was really strange.

Waxhaw, NC
Hello, my name is ((name deleted)) but you can call me Mitch. I’m writing this years after my sighting. I don’t think I could give you en exact date but it was definitely night time probably between 8 and 11pm and I was deep in Waxhaw, NC driving with 2 of my friends back to his house. We saw 6 or 8 massive circles in the sky I mean a probably the size of several navy ships each. Basically I know for a fact no vehicle of that size has ever been created. But that’s not even the part that made me think it was for sure aliens. They were swarming in circles around each other like angry bees. It didn’t look like physical objects it was like bright but kind of see thru balls of white light. I think it was cloudy and it started to rain. We drove all the way from downtown waxhaw to like 30 mins into the woods and I swear it followed us because when we got to the house we ran inside and got his mom and little brother to come outside and look at it so we didn’t think we were crazy and THEY SAW IT TOO. A total of 6 witnesses saw this and I am not even friends with them anymore. I don’t like them they don’t like me and I garuntee our stories will match. One of the guys I was with was even crying and he gang bangs. I swear on everything what I saw wasn’t from earth unless someone had 8 spotlights that swarmed and followed us for 30 mins. I don’t see that being possible. I am 21 now and I was probably 17 at the time. I wrote this because I just wanted to tell someone as nasa directed me to. I am pretty sure I took pictures and videos but It’s kind of a blur to me and even if I did I’ve switched phones several times since then and lost all data on them.

Crystal Lake, IL
My brother and I witnessed a large light in the sky, moving from the south, heading north. The light was about the size of a pencil eraser in the sky. The object seemed to have a circle or halo of light surrounding it. After a minute of amazement, I thought to grab my high-powered binoculars. Looking through the binoculars the point of light became sharper, but remained just that, a point of light. The surprising observation was the circle of light/halo surrounding the object. As the point moved, the halo moved with the light. The halo was set apart from the point of light, I could clearly see other stars in the space between the light and the inner ring of the halo. I submitted this report after seeing another individual submitted a report on the same sighting on 8/4/17 out of Rockford, 40 miles west of my location. As a closing comment we have almost a sighting a month here of strange phenomena in the sky (mostly flashes). (( Witness indicates that the date above is approximate. PD)

Orland Hills, IL
A large, green/teal brightly lit craft appeared for 1-2 seconds flying very quickly across the sky and disappeared. It was much larger then air planes flying at the same time, but it was hard to see how far up it was. Some planes were even with it at height I would estimate, others well above it. As I was watching the sky it appeared from nowhere, and disappeared into nothing. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Joppa, MD
I was driving home from work, when I saw two very bright orange lights. They weren't flashing, but seemed to be pulsing. They were stationary. I captured them on a rough video, and then one of them dimmed to a star like brightness, but they seemed to be low and under the clouds. We do have a lot of bases around here, but my fiancé and I have been seeing a lot of action in the sky. Recently, we keep seeing star-like moving objects that get extremely bright and then fade into nothing. Possible ISS? I showed my fiancé the video and he thought they were bizarre, but said maybe it was drones. Definitely very bizarre sighting.

Wheatland, MO
Three orange/yellow lights it was bright I thought it was a drone, helicopter, plane, or even one of those candle lanterns, but no it wasn't it made the cows go crazy and it disappeared then cows stopped it came back and they went crazy again it disappeared out of sky so fast and would move to other spots in the field and leave it was oval looking but not sure it shocked me never seen one before but I do believe it was a UFO because it was oddly shaped and didn't seem right and how the animals were reacting.

Bright orange lights could see coming over horizon. Stopped & hovered over pasture. Then the 3 lights went into one line & disappeared. Could hear no sound. We were inside when we saw the lights coming over horizon. Went inside & watched. Got on video

Estacada, OR
8:57 PM I was sitting on a bench at the local park with my boyfriend and his daughter when I heard another child say to her, “Look! There’s two moons!” As my eye was drawn to where he was pointing I noticed the shimmering shape hovering in the sky. It was a small diamond shaped craft covered in bright bands of light that seemed to brighten and then dim as it wavered in the air, preventing me from being able to determine what size the craft truly was. The craft appeared to be an entire rainbow of colors which could only be seen when it turned tail and flew off about a minute later. Instinctively, I grabbed my phone and took a short video of the craft before ducking for cover so it could not spot me. In practice, I am a Healthcare Professional, but ever since I watched “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” as a child I have had a profound interest in Extraterrestrial activity on Earth. My boyfriend is generally supportive of my interests and is also intrigued by the Paranormal. Together we have taken a few trips to famous UFO sighting hotspots with no luck until now. We both hope that this video can aid its viewers in the search for the truth.

Piscataway, NJ
I was driving home from work on a local road near old Camp Kilmer in Edison, when I noticed a fast moving object high in the sky. The time was approximately 5:40 p.m., the weather was sunny and the sky had large, fluffy clouds. The object moved very fast, looked disk shaped with a dome, and was a bright, white metallic color. The speed and movement didn't seem like a plane. It flew very smooth and faster than any plane I've seen. I did not see any aircraft wings or blades like on a helicopter. I continued watching it fly northeast for about a minute, while still trying to pay attention to the road. I couldn't stop looking at it as it just seemed so strange and fascinated me. I wanted to try to take a picture but could not safely pull to side of road. Incident happened quickly and not enough time to get phone and take photo.

Joliet, IL
In the summer of 2017, I was driving south on Collins Street in Joliet, Illinois and was approaching the intersection of Cass Street where I had planned to turn westbound. It was a fairly clear, sunny, cloudless day around 2:00 pm in the afternoon. I looked in the sky above Collins Street. About 2 blocks down, I saw a large white cube in the sky just hovering over Collins Street. As there was no good frame of reference it was difficult to say how high in the sky it was, but I would guess about 100 feet or so. It was also difficult to say how large it was, but it appeared to me to be about the size of a 2 or 3 story building and was a perfect cube in shape. I wondered if this was some kind of reflection or other issue, maybe regarding the windshield. So, I turned my head various directions and looked through different parts of the windshield to see if the cube changed in size, shape or location. It did not. The cube stayed in the sky at the same location, so I am fairly sure it had nothing to do with that. It just hovered there. As I turned onto Cass at the intersection the cube just disappeared. Even though I have looked for it in that location since that day, I have never seen it again.

Columbus (North), GA
Light was small, at first, and then began to grow in length moving to the east. Appeared to have oval shape at eastern side of the trail; with skinnier diminishing trail to the west. Light flowed smoothly across the sky with no jerky motions and was completely silent. Observed the sky in the area for about 3-4 minutes, with no other lights observed in the sky. The streak of slow moving light appeared to be thicker than should be expected at that height (in comparison to shooting stars I have seen in the past). Did not appear to be a light from the airport or a green laser.

Small light south west of Minneapolis maneuvering in zig-zag and vertical horizontal patterns. Small flashing light still occurring at the moment.

Moreno Valley, CA
We were on our way home from the Morongo Casino and headed east on cactus street, it was dark outside and no cars were out there. I was looking out the front windshield and looked up and seen a long strip of light. It looked something like a jet when they turn on the rockets, but it was going up and all of a sudden it started to dash down. Then all of a sudden, it just disappeared in mid air. I asked my dad did he see it, he said he was watching the road.

Bradenton, FL
I noticed some nifty looking clouds that were brighter then others so I got my smartphone out to record them. Approximately 37 seconds into recording the sky, this bright blue blob that resembled a doughnut shape appeared out of thin air, above me to the left, of where I was shooting. It flashed several bright colors ranging from light blue to indigo as it wobbled across the sky blinking in and out sight untill it instantly vanished out of the atmosphere. I went through the recording many times in slow motion and took screen shots from my phone of this thing. I can attach the video clip of this and/or pictures I extracted from the video. It was strange because I continued recording (atleast I thought) but the video abruptly shut off like 10 seconds after it first appeared. It was almost 2 years ago but I remember clearly it was small, but extremely bright. It looked like a light blue ball of plasma with a dark blue center in the middle (like a doughnut)

I sent in a paper earlier that had good detail of the cold truth. I don’t want to get in too much trouble though since some of this is top secret. It’s been since 2017 I been talking to them. I only have my word and a bunch of files in detail.

Bellevue, WA
I just saw something odd in the sky. Full disclosure: Current beer count: 1.5. A light came from the West. One solid, bright white/yellow light. At first I thought it was a satellite but it was kind of too bright to be a satellite. Moved faster than a plane, but higher than a plane and lower than a satellite. It headed East. But as it progressed East, instead of going lower in the horizon as if it actually headed East, appeared to gain altitude; then abruptly disappeared far sooner than it should have. Zero blinking navigation lights just one light. (( Probably the ISS. See link below: http://heavens-above.com/PassSummary.aspx?satid=25544⪫=47.6101&lng=-122.2015&loc=Bellevue&alt=24&tz=PST PD))

Aiken, SC
Saw a small orange light that flashed intermittently, while traveling very fast (much faster than a commercial jet) west to East in the Southern sky, but also moving up and down. Each time it flashed, it was above or below the horizontal axis of its travel. I observed it and immediately called my wife, who saw it but only just before it went out of sight, blocked by the roof of our house.

Sandy Hook, CT
Last night, I looked towards my neighbor's house and saw 4 red lights in the sky. They were in a square shape. It did not move at all or make any sound. I quickly tried to take a photo and didn't notice my flash was on. The 4 red spots disappeared when the flash went off. I stared at were it was, then noticed a small white light blink, then within a few seconds, the four lights came back. I quickly shut my flash off and took a bunch of pictures. After a minute or so it slowly moved then stopped again. Then maybe 10 seconds later it moved again, but I lost my visual due too trees. Was an amazing site to see. It was around the Lake Zoar area, between Sandy Hook and Southbury, Ct.

Buffalo, NY
Buffalo, NY 7/31/17 Sometime between 9-11 pm, while sitting in my backyard, I saw a low flying oval shape for a split second, flying through lower branches of trees in my yard, moving in a west easterly direction. I believe it was bright green in the front and bright white in the back, about the size of a football and completely silent. I have never seen anything like this in my life. Background of observer: 62 year old woman, Masters Degree in Psychology. Worked for State of NY for 31 years. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she seemed to us to be both quite sincere, and sober-minded. She reports that the object was back-dropped by the nearby trees, and not just against the nighttime sky. Hence, she was able to deduce that the object was fairly close to her position. PD

Woodford, VA
This evening, 7/31/2017, at approximately 9:15 p.m. EDT, he reports seeing a blue/green disc tracked by laser lights from two high-power helicopters approximately 700-800 feet up. His estimate is that it was located over Virginia Route 2 approximately where it meets VA Route 745 (Widewake Rd). This is about ½ mile from our location to the west on Long Branch RD. One thing that should be noted is that Fort AP Hill (a US Army training facility) is located just to the east across Route 2, and their latest air field/landing strip is located near the western boundary just south of this area.

Benicia, CA
Cresting 780 outside Benicia in moving car, All 3 of us in the car saw a house sized sphere with an orange glowing core floating above the area. It was rising slowly in my (driver's) view. The other passengers kept site of the object as I took our exit and said it rose straight up, picking up speed, and went so high so fast that it disappeared.
