I was one of the people with night vision goggles to confirm the object. The guide pointed there is a large object, low on the horizon, on the other side of the Giant Rock. We were all gathered at the South side of the Giant Rock, just on the side of the paved area. I had sensed something close by at same time the Guide pointed to the area of sky behind the Giant Rock. The window of view was very narrow, between Giant Rock and the smaller rock at the East side of it. At that point, I didn't have a NVG on hand, the object was very large, visible to the naked eye. A girl with NVG on hand handed it to me to confirm the object is a UFO as she was new to it and not sure how to use the NVG. I took the NVG and focused it to a clear view as it was blurry at that point. With NVG now, I observed the object for about 2min, flying West/Southwest towards and behind the Spy Mountain. It had a Diamond shape around it with a round center and a much smaller round darker area! at the 1/3 point from the bottom. It had a very pale orange tint to it at this point. Soon after it disappeared behind the Spy Mountain, the 2 helicopters showed up from the Northeast side across the valley, and next thing we saw was one of them chasing the UFO going towards South from behind the mountain.

While on a UFO night-watch at Giant Rock with participants attending the Contact in the Desert event, approximately 50 of us gathered to watch the sky and share at least 15 pairs of Generation 3 military goggles provided by the host of the event. At approximately 10pm, a few people noticed a bright red-orange point of light glowing constantly bright, not blinking and moving from one field of view to another in between the two giant rocks and hills. I and approximately 10 others joined the observers to catch a quick glimpse before it left our field of view. At this time, for approximately 1-2 minutes, I observed this light through the goggles. The first thing I did was adjust the depth of field in the goggles. The goggles were in focus for high altitude focus, making the stars above look very clear. To view this object up close, I had to lens all the way to the closest depth to see the object clearly. What I saw during the time the focus was clear was a diamond shape with sides very close to being equal all the way around. I could see definition in the object enough to make out brighter areas in all four corners of the object and once more in the middle. In the spaces in-between, it glowed with less intensity. Once the object was out of view from being behind the rock, I immediately drew what I saw on paper and shared it with the event host. Approximately one minute after, in the same area we saw the diamond craft fly from left to right in our view, now I saw three aircrafts following the same route. I am aware that military aircraft blink with multiple flashes in quick succession, whereas commercial and personal planes blink once. This is how I came to my conclusion. Moments after we noticed the above mentioned aircrafts, a large bright light appearing red-orange emerged from over the hill we stood below. The light zoomed quickly over our heads at the height of approximately 1000 ft. I remember noticing that there was no sound coming from the light. A moment later, following the light, emerged a military jet craft making loud noise as it flew by us. The jet seemed to be chasing the light. The light flew straight towards the hills to our other side, and the jet chased it until they could not be seen with my physical sight. One of the group participants using his own goggle recorded from his device a video, with no sound, showing the event. Please see other reports about the same event. PD

Long Description of Sighting Report Incredible video footage of a military jet chasing a UFO (yeah, that's right, chasing one) right over our heads while out at the infamous Giant Rock in Landers while at this year's Contact in the Desert (CITD) conference in Joshua Tree, Calif. I, Melinda Leslie, was leading my Sunday night, May 21st, Sky Watch with Night Vision Goggle Intensive out at Giant Rock on the 3rd night of viewing events for CITD. Luckily one of my participants, Graham Slater, caught this and many of our other sightings (from all 3 nights no less), with his black and white night vision video camera. His additional footage of some of the other incredible sightings will be posted at a future date once they are compiled. Here's a description of the jet chase sighting: At just before 10:00 p.m. (did not note exact time) some of my participants and I saw a large amber colored light low to the horizon just behind Giant Rock from where my whole group of about 50 plus people were gathered and using 15 pair of night vision goggles. A contigenecy of about 20 of us ran to get a better view of it. To the naked eye it appeared to be a large orangish (amber) light, that quoting some of the 20 people; "flew like a bumble bee." One guest, [name removed/CMS/jpg], came running with a pair of the goggles in hand and got a good look at it. She said that through the goggles it looked like "a large diamond shaped UFO." She drew a picture of it attached here. This object then flew behind a small hill right behind the entire Sky Watch larger group. As those of us who ran off walked back to join the others, 3 military jets flew over in the direction of the object now gone from sight behind the hill. Some of us commented that "if" "they" were following it, meaning the jets, they were a few minutes too late. Just then, we heard the sound of a low flying jet from behind the hill, and suddenly clearing the top of the hill and right over our heads, came a very fast military jet chasing a faster large red glowing light. The military jet had both red and white blinking strobe lights and glowing afterburners and was VERY loud as it flew directly above our heads. The large red light had NO blinking lights and NO sound at all! It became clear to all 50 plus witnesses, this was NO jet!!! Those folks present who looked with the aid of the goggles said they were seeing either 2 lights, or one object with 2 light sources on it. After extensive review of the footage, I am nearly certain it shows 2 UFOs (fast moving lights), flying in perfect locked tandem with one another. It appears you can see stars between them in the background suggesting that these are 2 separate objects. As is usually the case, this footage while incredible, does not do the sighting justice. The video is in black and white night vision, not full-color naked-eye vision, and does not have any sound, so you are unable to hear the palatable excitement of 50 plus witnesses screaming and cheering. Please see other reports about the same event. PD

On the evening of Sunday, May 21st, multiple ufos were observed by a group of 40+ people visiting at Giant Rock in the Mohave desert. The group was sharing 15 night vision goggles and several laser pointers. I am sharing my experience of the event. Early on at about 8:00pm, several of us witnessed a bright orb like object moving a straight line then glowed brightly and disappeared. Later a group of three bright orbs moving from west to east at approx. 80 deg. above us from the horizon. I observed it for about 30 deg of travel in the aforementioned direction. I also observed a glowing amber disc-like object, about 5 deg. above the horizon due north towards Area 51 between Giant Rock and another large boulder adjacent to it. The amber object was about the size of my thumb at arms length traveling slowly from east to west parallel to the horizon. Shortly after the amber object transition behind Giant Rock and was no longer visible maybe 2 min. later a jet ! airplane could be heard coming out of the west. The jet passed over the group from NW to SE direction over the group at approx 70 deg above the southern horizon. In front of the jet (approx. 200 ft) were two red orb like objects. Both the jet and red orbs maintained constant speed and distance. Someone in the group had a night vision camera and they recorded the event. That video is currently being shared on several Facebook accounts. Please see other reports about the same event. PD

Sacramento, CA
I looked outside my bedroom window in the Arden-Arcade area of Sacramento County at 21:41, looking South West and observed a Red/Orange RECTANGLE, very, very bright LED type light or combination of many lights. I estimate the distance of six to eight miles away and the size of approximately 200 yards wide and 100 yards high. It was huge! It appeared to be about 1000 feet in elevation. It hovered or floated around not moving too much, just up and down a little. The lights went to bright blueish and shut off, then reappeared back into the bright Red, Orange light, very intense light projection. It drifted South across my sight, same distance and elevation, then shut off. I videoed it with my tablet, but my tablet only recorded a bluish speck, but I was able to take a screenshot from the video at its most intelligible position. I blew up the speck so you can almost make out the rectangle shape. I could see it through my tablet as I was recording it and knew it wasn't recording the same brightness and color, but at least I was able to record its presence. This exact same event took place last year starting on May 13th, 2016, and continued most every night for a week and I also took phone video and pictures with my phone of that event(s). I will attempt to get a better video with my cellphone, although it is not a smart phone, it does record better than my tablet. I used my tablet because it has way better screenshot and enhancement features. I will send more reports as I witness them.

Jonesborough, TN
On May 21, I [a State HVAC contractor] was visiting a friend who owns an International Security firm. We were at his home, just outside Jonesborough Tenn., when sometime in the afternoon as we were chatting, there was a popping sound above us. Looking up we saw a small white light. I say 'we', but he saw it first. It was so small, it took me a few seconds to locate it. It didn't appear to be moving, so I grabbed my small 10x25 binoculars and focused in on it. There was a shiney ball-shaped object that seemed to pulsate light, and under the light was a cigar shaped object that was pointing down, approxamately 30^ angle to the left. There would be a pulse of light and the CS object was then pointing 30^ to the right. These pulses occured approx. 3 seconds apart, with the object moving from one angle to the other, with each pulse. The distance of the CS object from the glowing mass was about 1/4 the length of the CS object. The CS object itself was about 4-5 times the length of the lights diameter. Other than its rounded ends, the body shape was constant.. like a cigar. It was difficult to guage how high it was, and it didn't appear to be decending. It moved slowly to the west, as if it were drifting.. always at the same hight. The entire experiance lasted 5-10 minutes. After giving it thought, it could have been something that was dropped from a higher vessle and when reaching a certain altitude, metalic parashoots opened.. which would acount for the 'popping' sound. The shifting degree's of the cigar could have been a 'swinging' motion, IF it was hanging. Sunlight bouncing off metalic shoots could give the appearance of pulsating, stabalizing rockets, even though I've never seen or heard of 'metallic' para-shoots. Whatever it was.. it was pretty cool to watch! Was there anyone else in the area that reported this?

I repeat just right before this report one from day before. We went to park on Lo my beach and I really wanted to see ufo again but this time take least a photo. Because the first time I was just watching. And for my luck I really before we went back to the car we saw the same object as day before. I have video and also photo. I am 99 porcent sure it was the same as the day before. But the day before, I am 100000 % sure it was aliens. This one was up in the sky and it wasn't moving ..it was just staying at the same place and was it like very shining circle and again was lighting up and off. I will send a video. And after a few minutes, went down.. behind my horizon.

Around midnight, all at once, it seemed like every dog in the neighborhood started barking - crazy barking. I thought someone was either prowling in my yard or my neighbor's yard. We've had problems in this regard. I grabbed my gun and ran outside. When I got out to my front yard, I heard an odd whirling sound. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw some pulsating lights coming from above. I looked up and there was a large object hovering over me emitting flashing lights. It was around 500 feet up and appeared to be larger than a helicopter or small airplane. I ran back inside the house and grabbed my phone. When I returned to my front yard, the object was still there only at a much higher altitude. It stated racing off in another direction while ascending upward. We wonder whether this is intended as a serious report. We have attempted to contact the source, but have not yet managed to reach him. PD

Silver Lake, KS
A triangular shaped object that was cut in half a gap about 1/8 the total width of the object;straight down the middle making it appear as 2 separate objects to form one. It materialized as a dimly illuminated condensation cloud/fog that disappeared just as quick as it came. My girlfriend and I were stargazing in the backyard of her stepdads house in the country, about 6 miles northwest of Topeka. The only visible light was from the windows of the house. We both were staring directly over our heads as the object seemed to go thru the moist air at a unmeasurable velocity of speed. It was traveling due west and appeared for 1-2 secs. It was as if it were cloaked and the vapor it caused were the only means of visibility. The only reference to size is my index and thumb about a inch, inch and a half apart with my arm fully extended in front of my field of view looking straight in the sky. Which the only visible portion of the objects travel path being about directly above us to over a tree that stands maybe 25 ft high to the west of us on the south side of the fence which on the other side is hundreds of acres of farming fields. From 1st sight directly above us; to disapperance; it covered this vast part of sky above us almost to the horizon in a matter of seconds, 2 max. We were sitting inside the fenced in backyard of chain about belly button high. We sat in a backwards leaning lawn chair with my girlfriend sitting directly on my lap with the back of her head on my shoulder so we both had the same field of view. We had a blanket 3ft behind us on a clothes line which we used as a block of the ambient light of the house windows. The light it illuminated was almost rainbow spectrum In There Was No Solid Color To Associate With It. I saw it flash above which is what drew my eyes, it being dark out i thought maybe my eyes were tricking me, so I asked my girlfriend if she "just saw that," and at the same time as if she was gonna say the samething and finished by answering the question, she said she wasn’t going to say anything cause she thought her eyes were messing with her also, and "umm...yeah i ((word deleted)) saw that!" Even if we had the equipment to record the sky that night we would’ve needed about 6 cameras in night vision coving as much of the sky as possible and it would have been a one in a million chance of actually capturing it. I've been interested in RESEARCHING the unknown as pertains to ufo and ebe’s, to secret dark government/military space programs. With all the channels I subscribe to and talk shows I listen to it was just a matter of time before my girlfriend would become interested in the subject herself but it was not until a few days ago that the 1st ufo sighting I’ve experienced and hers as well which brought all the things she hears me listening to and watching become something brought to fruition, a experience, something that was just a subject until we had a 1st hand witnessing of something almost indescribable due to it or anything similar in nature have never been reported by anyone worldwide (to our knowledge) which created way more questions than the simple satisfaction of just observing an anomaly. That experience has turned my ole lady who is a former collegiate gymnast that gives private lessons to people who would let something like this make them think I'm "one of them people" and id have no clients for income. From that standpoint To now another believer via 1st hand experience. In the years of interest in the subject and years of listening to coast to coast I have never heard anything close to describing the sighting that we had. With the Uniqueness of the appearance of the object materializing/causing a disturbance in the air which gave shape, speed and size. Im a graphic artist and am currently opening my own costom silk screen printing and tattoo shop. I've been in the tshirt business for about 2 1/2 years running a store in downtown topeka. sometimes solo and still pushing out 300 shirts worth of orders. On breaks id watch videos and as a graphic artist was highly disappointed in all the cgi and disinformation out there that i didnt know what to/not to look for. Hence this being my 1st in 35 years of life. The reason I'm reporting this is due to its unique nature and the curiosity it spewed out of me. Wondering if anyone anywhere at anytime has experienced anything similar at all. That night we also observed a few other unexplainable events that we have never experienced. One being a unknown light due south of us close to the kansas river, about 1-2 miles away and what appeared 200-300ft above the ground, as we were looking upward, in the lower peripheral of our vision the light just appeared out of nowhere ad grew in intensity to the point of illuminating part o the sky, as the flash happened we looked for the light which had vanished as quickly as it appeared. Another light like that also appeared on the western horizon about a hour after the river one. We also witnessed what appeared as “stars” moving a high rate of speed. 2 of them going directly north to a south southwest direction. The third one seemed to come from the southwest and curved back towards the north west with another light directly behind it about 10-15 seconds. All of these id probably hafta say were satellites in orbit and maybe the iss. We witnessed what seemed to be a couple military aircraft that were flying directly across from each other maybe 10miles wing tip to wing tip at the same altitude and velocity with nothing but a red light to identify both of them as they came out of the western horizon and disappearing into the eastern horizon. Around 12:15 we witnessed a “aircraft” with A Single Bright Yellowish Light That Didn’t Flash, traveled north to south but the thing that caught our attention was the erratic movements. It seemed to glitch, the best ways to describe it. It’d seem to stand still for a couple seconds then dash forward, move left and right in very jerky, not smooth at all movement. The best I can describe it is visual glitching causing it to skip fwd in space to make up for the time that it was in a static position. Only explanation I have for that one is maybe the air temps and atmospheric variables that makes stars twinkle and seem to oscillate light intensities.

A glowing bright reddish pink orb hovering over Gallup, it was so big it looked like it was closer than what we caught on camera. It didn't seem to be moving super fast more like gliding in the air, it was fast in a moderate speed 200+. Then it disappearedj, the brightness faded, but you could see it was a. It was heading south. No sound and it was a clear night. We have video.

I was sitting in the back yard watching birds and saw two spheres up in the sky. They were traveling north to south following the same path. I was able to pull out my phone and took a few photos before they disappeared behind the trees. I was facing west at the time. I routinely saw small aircraft in the sky around this area and found it odd that these spheres made no sound as they traveled. They seemed low in altitude. It was very clear to me that they were physical objects and could see the glare and shadow cast by the sun on the objects. Both were perfectly spherical, grey in color, and were somewhat reflective.

Hi. We were celebrating kids b day party. And around 7pm (still was light, very beautiful weather). We (about 20 people) saw about 6 or 7 flying objects maybe more then 3 miles away from us. I'm absolutely sure it was not nothing I know or I ever saw before, the same the other people say. We saw round shape light objects. Was flying not so fast around the cost of city of long beach. First object seems as leader, because was as first and was most high, then was a little space and then was other I guess 5 objects behind flying the same speed. And they were randomly first one high the other one behind was a little under but behind still. Third one being agaIn different hight. But all was very close. And all these object were something like no like light blink but it was more like white bright shine light slowly up and off and just like this they were flying around the coast. We saw them until one house was in front of us. Some man record it. But I can't connect with him. But I hope I will. Cuz I don't know him. I was just watching them with happy feelings ND fear at the same time.

Hi I thought for some time what I saw was - something rare but natural It looked very very ODD even more disturbing no one else seem to notice Perfect Circular Cloud Ring with very bright light shining down from above I was scared a little and pissed because I had just taken my camcorder out of my Van to charge it before I left for the city - I wanted to turn around drive 100mph get my sony trv240 camcorder and go back and record it.. I have been a star gazer my whole life I love looking up I have seen some amazing cloud formations I always thought was natural But as I look back In light of the new videos leaked to the public etc.... One thing stands out each time a sighting it seems to be involving clouds are they creating them to hide them self's I saw this on yahoo news https://www.yahoo.com/news/leaked-navy-video-appears-show-211241985.html That photo - circle with light That is pretty much exactly what I saw I was scared because no one seemed to notice it but me I pointed it out to a few drivers who seemed to not notice or care Over the past few years since I saw it and a few other weird things happening I shrugged off as natural / mother nature I began noticing people around me some staring at me with an angry a piercing stare -- some pointing their finger at me I have long suspected they are walking among us I have suspected missing people years ago were gathered up to study - breed etc.. so they can walk among us un- detected amazing unique people with extra ordinary skills gifts talent size strength etc... people who have led us into the computer chip world products etc.... What if all this is right..?? Star Trak - the one where they had a hidden / cloaked building in the mountain studying the people and Data when to expose them / save the people etc...something like that as our technology - more traveling - cameras etc.. more and more we are seeing things we could not see The writings / pictures on the walls Egypt etc... given everything In a court of Law where evidence to be preponderance it frees a man or convicts a man so must it be proof that it's real than NOT.. I still see people staring at me some quickly turning to me for no reason and just watching me as if to suggest (( we are watching you )) keep silent

Weather conditions are cloudless, minimal haze, 5 knot westerly wind. While in between games at my daughter's softball tournament I had a very brief thought of the 12 different anomalous flying objects I witnessed over a nine week period last fall. This thought prompted me to have a glance at the sky. All I saw was blue sky and one jet ascending out of LAX. A moment later I looked up again to the east and saw what at first thought seemed like four helium balloons ascending separately a few hundred feet apart at an estimated 500 feet elevation.three appeared white and one had a dark metallic color. Their trajectories at first were consistent with helium party balloons. After three or four minutes watching the objects had receded from orb shape to point light sources and three of the four collard a convergent path while the fourth remained at a distance. It was at this point that I expected the objects to appear as black dots and plane out with the upper level! winds if they were balloons. Instead they appeared more and more as light sources getting continuously further away. After ten minutes of continuous watching the lights were not discernible.
