Muncie, IN
I was taking a break at my night supervisor job at Ball State University’s Bracken Library and while looking out a south facing window, I witnessed an opalescent orb suddenly appear about mid-sky and immediately shoot off towards the East. The entire sighting lasted about five seconds. Cloud coverage was spotty. The orb did not reappear after passing behind a cloud. I watched the sky for several more minutes and did not see the orb again.

I spotted what I first thought to be a star at 7pm, but when I looked through my scope, I seen a circular disk moving NW TO SE direction for 40 minutes with objects coming from the large disk underneath & from the rear then approximately around 7:45pm the large object broken up into approximately 40-50 objects going into different directions before the clouds blocked my view..

Hi Peter, I'm not sure what to do with this and although I'm a member of MUFON, you've always been my "go to" guy. My husband and I were coming down hi-way 50 on 6-18-17 returning home to Lincoln, from Tahoe and I had my camera with me. I like to take shots of cloud formations and we had some clouds rolling through with all the pretty colors. Not sure what time it was but I'm guessing towards sunset and I believe we were around the Prairie City Rd. exit. I snapped some pix and decided to look at them later. The weather was beautiful that day. A few clouds but no rain in Tahoe or in the valley. At some point after that I checked them out and they were in my "gallery". All the pix are less than 1" square and I didn't look closely at any of them. Two weeks ago, I was going through the gallery pix, deciding which ones to keep and I came across this one. I did not see this object or whatever it is at the time I took it. I do remember when I took it because it was my late mother's birthday and if I had seen it at the time, I would have showed it to my husband. I don't know if you remember, but I emailed you or maybe wrote an account of possibly taking a photo of a ufo, it was pink/purple colored football shaped object and I immediately showed my husband and got all excited about it. I'm not very good at the tech stuff and couldn't figure out how to send you the picture. Turns out it was something on the window as the next time we went somewhere, I wanted to double check it and the same thing happened so I discarded it. I also sent in the account dating back to 1960 with my twin brother's experience. I've taken a picture of the picture on my phone, I'm determined if nothing, and that's how I'm able to send it now. My phone is a Samsung 4G LTE and my camera is a Canon ELPH 350 HS Powershot. Oh, and my husband is a huge skeptic and when he saw this, he was amazed and told me I needed to send it to someone. Of course, my first thought was you. I know you are a busy man but when you get the chance could you please take a look and get back to me with any thoughts. I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Waldport, OR
I was pulling into my driveway at approximately 23:45 on June 17th, 2017, so it was last Saturday. Right when I got out of the car, my neighbor came running over to me and asked me if I knew what the strange lights were directly above my house, so I looked up and saw these strange oval bright lights that were pulsating and zooming out and would then fly back in. They were a bright white and seemed to form a pattern. I have never seen anything like it in my life and my neighbor who is from Arizona, had never seen anything like it either. The lights appeared to be approximately 200 feet above my house. Then two days ago on June 23rd, 2017 my uncle who lives close by, was standing out on his deck with binoculars, and he said he could see two flying saucer like objects hovering above my house. One was approximately 50 to 200 feet above he thought and the other was directly above that one, about 500 feet above the roof of my house. They had red, orange and green lights on them and hovered there for about one hour. This occurred at about 23:45 again until about 1:30 in the morning. I was asleep during this time so I did not see them but my uncle called me to let me know. I have never experienced anything like this before and I have never studied UFO’s or been a watcher of them. I have recently moved to the Oregon Coast from the valley area of Oregon.

2 lights in sky were flashing and rotating in counterclockwise direction. Lights seemed to be above clouds. No sound lights were greenish in color, they would blink about every quarter of the rotation. This went on for about 10 minutes. Then lights just vanished

Yosemite National Park, CA
Witnessed 3 bright objects moving from southeast to northwest in a perfect triangular formation for 10 minutes over the Yosemite area. Objects estimated altitude-stratosphere. 6 other identical objects passing over Yosemite from the same direction Cingularly or side by side over 30 minute time span. One object crossed the sky oscillating, when another object in red hue appeared from nowhere and passed in front of the oscillating craft.

I was looking at Venus and seen what I thought was a satellite. I told my son and his friend to look. At that moment, another bright light showed up behind that first one. And then another third one, and then they vanished.

St. Peters, MO
At 10:30 pm this evening I went outside in my back yard to secure the patio furniture for incoming storms that were predicted. The rear of my house faces due north. I looked up into the sky and saw lightning far off in the distance towards the north. I then noticed two red balls of light traveling from the west (approximately along the path of I-70) moving to the east at a fairly rapid speed. At first I thought it might be a helicopter, or two. As they came closer, I heard no sound from any type of engine. Two lights travelling the same distance apart in the same path. Red orange in color, not blinking, but solid the entire time. As they came from the west, about the time they were directly behind my home, the lead light turned due north and appeared to gain altitude, fading from view, possibly behind clouds. The second light followed the exact same path as the first one, and also disappeared. About two to three minutes later, from the south west of my home, and closer to my home, I saw three additional lights, the exact same appearance as the first two. The first two were closer together, with the third one trailing a bit behind. I called my wife out to see what I was seeing, and to bring her cell phone to take pictures. She arrived, and confirmed that she was seeing what I was seeing. She tried to take pictures, but they did not turn out very well. Again, the three objects followed the same path of the first two, and turned due north, fading away from my view. No sound of any engine was ever heard, no other color of light was ever seen other than the red/orange solid light color. At first I thought it might be a Japanese lantern display of some kind, but the objects were moving too fast, and the winds were from the northeast, the opposite direction that the objects were moving. The two separate groups maintained a distinct separation distance from each other, and equal speed. Hot air Japanese lanterns would not behave this way. Aircraft routinely fly over our home as they move into the landing pattern for St. Louis Int. Airport Lambert Field. I know what an aircraft looks and sounds like, and how it behaves. I do not believe these objects to have been aircraft. I am not a believer in aliens, or UFO’s. I like to believe that there is a logical explanation for what my wife and I both clearly saw in the sky this evening. See attached jpg map of the flight path of these objects

Then a second bright light appeared from the same spot where the first light appeared, but it started moving west, traveling at the same speed as the first light, and for about the same amount of time, and then vanished.

9:45 pm I was standing in my driveway talking to my neighbor. I looked to my left and saw an amazingly bright orb, or small disc shaped object approx. less than 100 ft. away from me. object was flying at a very low rate of speed directly over top of my garage on a N by NE course. The object was pulsating deep orange/yellow light. Object was completely silent. The light was like nothing I have ever seen before. I targeted the object with a 5 mile visibility green laser, which had no effect. Object continued on N by NE path until it faded out. It also seemed to be ascending slowly. Another witness snapped 2 photos and took a short video with a cellphone.

We were by the convention center in Portland, OR when all of a sudden we saw these glowing lights in the sky that at first looked like flares but they never went away they were in the sky for nearly 5mins just hovering there almost looking like portals in a way, at first there was simply two of them until a 3rd came out of nowhere which still to this day is undescribable of what these things were.There was a black hawk helicopter that took off from the downtown police station that attempted to fly up near these lights, too.

While outside in my pool, I was looking the clear sky and the stars, suddenly I saw a bright light, very high in the sky, higher than the usual airplanes use to travel when I see them (frequently), in this area. The light was traveling at a high speed, faster than a commercial airplane. After entering in some clouds, it disappeared. I do not know if is a satellite, or a UFO, but I think is not an airplane because it was traveling at a very high altitude, and moving at a faster speed than I have seen on airplanes, and it was a single white and bright constant light, with out more lights, and no noise at all.

Moving in a South to North direction we observed what we believed were balloons, then maybe drones, were 5 black square flying objects high in the sky moving quickly and evenly spaced. Was not reflective, but slightly rotated as they traveled.

i was standing on my back porch looking southeast when the ufo appeared in my line of vision just under the clouds moving at a high rate of speed. at first it was right above my neighbors tree i got a really good look at it. it was oval in shape like an egg and was dark in color like a stone. it was literally a huge floating rock zipping in a straight line off into the horizon. i cant believe no one else saw it seeing as its path was going right over the city. the object was completely silent and seemed to be moving through the sky as if it was on a railway system.

I was walking toward my house in the front,I saw over, but beyond my home a black object hovering in the sky beyond my home, it was very obvious against the blue sky with scattered white clouds. I stopped walking and stared at it for about a minute, it wasn't moving. I than ran in the front door, grabbing my camera on the counter top,and out the back door,but it was gone. It took no more than 10 seconds to run through the house, I am still scanning the sky for it, camera in hand now. I hope someone in the area photographed it.

At one point it looked to have blown out some smoke/light around it. It headed east after about 15-20 minutes. Looked back up five minutes later to see another sphere floating above, this one white and not reflective. The metal one came back and they hovered together for about 15 minutes. I glanced away and they were gone.

Falls Church, VA
While running laps at Falls Church high school football field, I was on the ground stretching and doing sit ups and lookiing up at the sky, when I saw a shimmering disk like object moving at a slow rate south to north in a wobbling type manner, clouds around 20,000 ft. The object would pass above and behind the clouds at moments then reappear. After approximately a minute and a half, and as this first object was now further north of Fall Church, towards Bethesda, MD., a seconds object, just like the first appeared above me and was in follow to the first object. As the objects wobbled, it appeared they were shiny on top, darker on the bottom, but it was a strange dark shade, I couldn't really make out a specific color. There was no sound I could associate with it, no vapor trails. The following object disappeared within a minute and a half some where north of Falls Church, VA. End of statement.

We were working out in front of our house, and I noticed an object high in the distance, hanging motionless in the sky. I told my husband and son and we grabbed the binoculars and started watching it. It did not move, and if it did, it was extremely slow to where you hardly noticed it. 2 other people going by in a car stopped and asked what we were looking at. They got out of the car and also witnessed it. Through the binoculars it was extremely bright white. I drew a picture of the shape. I also took some photos and a video but it was so high up, my cell phone just cannot get a great shot of it. It hung there about 15 minutes and then disappeared into the distance.

Structure and detail behind the clouds, took photograph in June 2017 and I was going over them in photoshop and found interesting evidence that we are not alone in the atmosphere, world, universe. Photoshop, I zoomed up and used filter to darken spacecraft. Pictures included.

Somerset, KY
I was walking home from class and I see this bright flash in the sky, and it kind of just lingered there for a few seconds. There were cars driving by so they might have saw but I have no way of contacting them to know for sure. Then it was like it spotted me. Like it knew that I had saw it so it started circling me high in the air like a vulture would. I am a professor at the college, so I have heard some of my colleagues talk about things like this. So it circled me for a while an it mesmerized me. Then it was like I couldn't move. Then the next thing I know it's like I was dropped from the sky and I looked at my phone and it was roughly seven minutes later but it felt like no time at all. I knew it had been that amount of time because I had checked my phone just before I had saw the object. It couldn't have been an aircraft and I thought it was one of those stupid drones but I don't think it was on behalf of the sudden lapse in time that seemed to happen.
