Garden City, SC
I watch the skies a lot. Never see anything other than military fighters or transports here with the daily rotor craft. Tonight while taking the dogs out for the fee final time at around 253 AM, I looked east towards the adjacent skyline to notice an amber or pink/orange light in the sky. At first, I thought it was an oddly shaped planet. To my utter surprise and disbelief my eyes did not decided he and the light began to move. Then another light became evident. The two then converged and grew brighter. They appeared to be about thirty miles east over the Atlantic ocean. I would guess their altitude to be in the 10-15k ft area. Really interesting. Also of note is that the light appeared to line in the distant sky for a short time after it appeared the source had vanished. Also of note is that after the point of conference the light send to emit in a more cross like display.

Long Beach, MS
We saw a green oval shape traveling town ward at an angle. It was very bright and hovered. Too bright. It was listening to us and changed colors every time we spoke. It was too quiet. It made no noise. It seemed to follow us. We went for our nightly run, and my wife said we were gone over an hour. It moved too fast when I pulled out my phone. It came down very close a few feet away. Then moved slowly away. It turned purple and disappeared in thin air. It scared me and my son to death. It went in and out of trees when we turned around. The neighborhood was eerily silent.

Uniontown/Kent, OH
Hello I hope you are having a good night, I am the fiancé of a marine who’s MOS is Mechanics for large helicopters and planes. I am familiar with a lot of air crafts because of it. I live in Ohio. I was traveling from the Kent University campus to my parents’ house in Uniontown, Ohio. I was taking a lot of back roads and highways that cut through the countryside, it was mostly corn fields and trees with the occasional house. Neither of which was lit. I had been on the road for about 5-6 minutes after leaving the Kent campus when I saw the ufo. I first passed it off as a plane with its headlights towards me (the ufo was a fair distance away at this point so it looked small enough to be a plane) The only thing that initially made me think its flight path was weird was that it almost seemed to be hugging the tree line from far off, I thought that was low. I was stopped at a stop light at the time, and I made a choice to ignore it. But when the stop light turned green, out of the corner of my eye, I saw the object shoot across the sky at a speed I’ve never seen before, and it stopped about what I’m guessing gave it about 5 miles of distance between me and it. That fast movement scared the crap out of me. I immediately gunned it and took off down the road. I would occasionally glance around at the sky to see if it followed me because it scared me, but I thought I lost it for a while. I didn’t see it again till I turned onto the road called Switzer street in Uniontown. It was sitting dead ahead of me all the way at the end of the road. It looked like a very bright light at this point I couldn’t make out the shape of the craft because of it. I just saw the giant ball of light. At this point it was about half the size of a full moon. I gunned the gas again and made it to my parents’ house and ran inside. They knew I was coming so the door was unlocked. I didn’t tell my parents about it initially. I didn’t want them to think I was crazy but when I was leaving the house later, I asked my dad to walk me to the car because I was still unnerved. He agreed to. As we walked it showed up again between the tree line. This time my dad saw it first and told me to look in its direction. “What ((words deleted)) is that?” my dad asked, as he walked a bit closer to the edge of our property. “I think its probably just a plane.” I responded. I really didn’t want to call it a ufo at that point I was honestly freaked out and was trying to explain it away. “That’s not a plane, it’s just sitting there not moving. Planes don’t do that.” He said, exasperated. No sooner did he say that did the air craft slowly start moving so it swung around and stopped above our back yard. Still at the same far distance. My dad was spooked at that point and told me to go back in the house with him. I refused, I wanted to get back to Akron. I did not want to stay in the country side anymore. He argued with me, but eventually let me go, if I promised to call him as soon as I got back. I agreed and climbed into the car and locked the doors. I watched dad run back inside. When I looked up at the sky again the ufo was gone. It was a clear sky tonight. that shouldn't of been possible for it to just disappear like that. I felt a pit in my stomach I did not like what was going on one bit. I pulled out of the drive way, paranoid, and still watching the sky. I took off and turned on to a road called Cleveland, Heading back towards Akron. It was a few minutes before I hit my first stop light. It was a red light again. That’s when the ufo showed up again this time it was close! It was directly above the powerlines that were running up the side of the road. It turned out its big light and it was replaced with a bunch of small red and blue ones that traced the length of it. It was very long, almost cigar shaped but thinner. The lights were evenly spaced out. Thanks to the lights I could see the ship was about as big as two commercial planes put together. It had to be at least be 1000 feet in the air still. Which only leads me to believe it If it had landed, it would have been a crap ton bigger. I gunned a red light to get away from it. I didn’t see it again till I was merging on the highway. At that point it was around 10:40pm ish. I saw the same bright light as I did before, only this time it was at the same distance as it was when I first saw it. I nervously watched it, it moved out of my sight again, just as I was getting on to I77. I did not see it again. I called my dad when I got home and explained everything that happened and he gave me your organization's number and told me to report it. I was also asked by the man I talked to on the hotline to give the ufo’s point of elevation. I am not sure what that is, but I will ask my fiancé when he is off duty. He is stationed in Japan right now, and they are 14 hours ahead of us, so he’s in the middle of his work day. But I will include the point of elevation in an email along with a drawn picture of the ufo. I just need to find a printer to scan it into. I was unable to get a physical picture of the ufo because I was driving for most of this sighting. I hope this was helpful! Have a Good night!

Warren, RI
Headed out to sell a guitar at a local gas station and as I pulled to the end of my street to turn on the main road, I saw a very big, very low craft moving quite quickly but silently. Planes do fly low over here many times and this was no plane. It was triangular in shape and moving too fast. Directly across the end of my street is a large cemetery. It was flying towards me and when I slowed down to get a good look at it, it quickly pulled a sharp U-turn and went the other way. Planes do not do that either. Very cool indeed! We telephoned the witness, but he was not very co-operative. We wonder whether this might be a hoaxed report. PD

Willard, KY
For a month, or longer, I have been seeing orbs of light all around my house. I have had several people come to my house to look at them, and my parents and sister have also seen them. I have went outside while they are there's d they seem to follow me everywhere I go. This has been going on every night. They float up, down and in different directions, change shape and color. There is a large one that stays pretty much in the same area every night but the smaller ones move around a lot. Last night people were telling me they were seeing them in Willard, Hitchins, and Grayson, Kentucky, too. They are completely encircling my house tonight and they did last night too. I've seen lights shine up from the ground light the clouds and a big orange or red light come on above the clouds so bright you can see it through storm clouds We have urged the witness to obtain photos. We will proceed with the case, once photos have been forwarded to our Center. PD

Cottage Grove & Madison, WI
I was driving with my boyfriend and our 3 year old son towards Madison. We noticed the first one a few miles ahead. It was very cloudy and very dark and it was below the clouds. There was some very light rain on and off. We thought it was a helicopter at first only seeing a white light and red blinking light. It seemed to be moving kind of slow almost hovering. We stopped to get fuel at Kwik Trip off of I94 at Cottage Grove exit at 9:50. After we left we continued to drive West on Gaston Rd.. As we continued to drive West we noticed 2 more and also the one we originally saw. The other two were hovering and more west closer to the Capital and close to HWY 30. The one closest to us that was headed west quickly turned around heading East towards us. That is when we saw how large it was and that it had 3 lights. A large, bright and white light was in the middle. It almost looked like a spot light which made us think it was a helicopter, searching for something. A blinking blue light on its left side and a red blinking red light on its right. It started going faster and had no noise. At this time my son said, "Look at the plane! Look!" As he said this, it started to go straight up towards the sky so the under side was visible. It was clear just how large it was and it was not a plane or helicopter. It had a triangle shape almost like a boomerang. Once its bottom was visible it went faster towards the clouds and disappeared in less than 2 seconds. My son did not see it disappear. My boyfriend and I both did and it no longer was in sight. I have never seen anything that large or that fast. Literally light speed. At this time we looked towards the others and the one near the Capital was no longer there. The one towards HWY 30 now was a small red light at this point and was gone in the blink of an eye. At this point my son asked, "Where did the planes go?" We did not see anything else. At this time it was approx. 10:05pm.

Sighting of Jupiter? We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she was uncertain as to which direction she was looking. We encouraged her to look in the same area of the sky, in order to determine whether the object is visible again. PD

Albuquerque, NM
It was about 500' away flying about 300-400' above ground. It was black, shaped like a cross flying slow and as it rotated in the air is became just a pencil like line, then turned again to see a cross shape. It was completely silent. I watched it for about 5 minutes as it became smaller and smaller in the distance.

New York City (upper West Side), NY
At around 14:30 I saw a silver object that looked like a balloon. It floated West, across Amsterdam Avenue and about 65th Street in NYC. It floated in the West/North West direction, out towards the Hudson River. At around 18:31 pm I was walking South on Riverside Drive, at around 71st Street, when I noticed a group of these same “balloons” floating West towards the Hudson River. They looked like balloons, but they also looked like UFOs. They were coming from a completely different direction and time than the one I had previously seen. There were approximately four UFOs in this small group. As they ascended, they all moved at the same speed towards the sun, making it hard to see them. One of the objects didn’t float in formation. It proceeded to move swiftly, heading North, before banking and heading South, now above the Hudson River. It did this a few times, changing direction smoothly. At the same time, it seemed to move in the general direction of the other objects. If they were a lot closer, I imagine they would have been relatively large balloons. The objects were silver, and, if they WERE aircraft, I imagine they were small…smaller than a car. If they were balloons, they were large balloons. The part that REALLY drew my attention was the time difference between the two sightings. There is no way that the one balloon I saw, descended to the earth, found three more balloons like it, then proceeded to ascend back on its course, four hours after the first sighting. Maybe there was an event in NYC, where a lot of silver balloons were let off…it was strange. I have some video of the two events. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite eloquent and serious-minded. We suspect that he is a highly reliable witness. PD

I am a 21 year old male. I do not take any medications other than lisinipril for blood pressure. And have been declared competitent by my peers. I was sitting outside last night, enjoying the cool night air, when a slow pulsing light caught my attention. It wasnt blinking red or green such as a normal aircraft would be. I see planes cross the sky every hour or more where there is an airport close to me. But this light moved in such an erratic pattern that I have never seen any airplane or helicopter do. Almost as if it skipped sections of the sky. It was completely silent. And my best explanation of the color would be almost an neon bluish purple. It gave me the creeps.

Co-worker glanced upward and was staring into the sky. Asked myself and another co-worker "what are those up there?". Myself and second co worker look straight upward and see slow flying formation of dark triangular silhouette of high altitude aircraft against the backdrop of clouds and open sky. The aircraft were very fluid in their flight and were without any lights as well as being perfectly silent. At seeing the first craft before noticing the others, my initial thought was that it was a large gas filled balloon, or perhaps a trash bag caught in the jetstream, but upon noticing others, I was able to make out a very noticeable triangular delta shape to each craft silhouette in contrast to the sky. These were definitely not birds or any natural animal but some sort of craft flying silently and without any navigational lighting or other illumination. My guess is military stealth possible electric propulsion. Source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Tampa, FL
I exited my house at 12:45 am to pick my daughter in law up from the airport (she was supposed to arrive at 1 am). I took a quick look around, thinking "at this hour, maybe I'll see something." I immediately noticed a bright white light to the north of my house. At first, I thought it was a helicopter, as it was over a main road (Dale Mabry) in our area but there were no other lights - just an extremely bright, stationary white light. From the position, it looked like it was about a half mile from my house, just north of Hillsborough/Dale Mabry. It was completely silent. If it had been a helicopter, I would have heard it, as this area is subject to frequent auto accidents. I was in a rush to get to the airport, but kept an eye on the object in my rear view mirror as I was heading south to the airport. TIA has a cell phone waiting lot, so while I was waiting there, I kept looking but couldn't see it from where I was. Once we were on our way back to the house, we had a brief glimpse of it through some trees but by the time we got back to where we would have been able to see it clearly, it was gone.

Columbia, SC
At about 2400 hours, I witnessed a bright white light hovering over a house in my neighborhood. I was sitting on my front porch listening to music, and since I like to listen to aircraft passing, I decided to pull my headphones off. The strange thing was that there was no sound. This light was hovering over that house for about a minute or so. The light was very bright, but oddly enough, not so bright that I couldn't look directly at it. I'm located in the Columbia area, and I could tell that I was facing north when looking at this object. That bright white light shut off. What replaced that bright white light was a green and red light pattern. It's difficult to explain, but the lights appeared to be one and the same, and yet separate at the same time. This craft still didn't move and I could tell because it didn't appear to be getting bigger or smaller. I couldn't make out the exact shape of the craft, but I could tell it was big. It was like looking into the dark to see a blurry figure and you can't tell the exact shape but you can tell how big or small it was. This thing was huge. I'd say it was the size of a C-130. About 20 seconds after the bright white light changed to the green and red light combination it shot off to the East at a speed that was ridiculous. This was weird because it went from a stand still, to shooting off at such a fast speed. There was no build up to the speed. That kind of maneuver seems ridiculous because that has to be technology I've never seen before that allows an aircraft to go from a stand still hovering position to speeds I haven't seen fighter jets match. It didn't make sense how fast this thing was, and yet there was still no sound. I couldn't believe what I saw so I stood up and looked around for neighbors. I spotted one such neighbor who happened to be an Air Force veteran and we talked a lot because I'm an Army veteran. I asked him if he saw anything weird. He told me that for several nights he saw the same thing. He too said there was no sound to this aircraft he was witnessing. He said it didn't seem like a drone because drones don't move like what he saw and he thought it was weird he never heard any sounds coming from this object. I decided to call Shaw Air Force base. I got in contact with the command post. They said they didn't fly anything over my area. They got me in contact with McIntyre Air National Guard base. They said it could have been an Apache helicopter with "whistle mode" engaged. Now I'm no expert on Apache helicopters, but I have ridden in one before, and I've seen the so called "whistle mode" in action. That doesn't eliminate all sound nor does it explain the speed I saw. Even the person I was speaking with couldn't explain why this thing was so unbelievably fast. I'm not sure what I saw. I don't know what I saw. I just know that I'm a combat veteran who was deployed to Kandahar Air Field (KAF) and I've seen all sorts of aircraft. I've never seen anything like this before. That speed, the way the lights were so weird, the fact I heard nothing and the fact that the outline of this thing looked a heck of a lot bigger than an Apache is something I cannot explain. We spoke at length via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite eloquent, and serious-minded. We suspect that he is an excellent witness, and that his report is highly reliable. PD

My friend and I were getting out of my car and noticed a string of lights that were in a slight elipses in the sky, looking through the trees. They were pretty stationary, but appeared to be very slowly moving away from us. We decided to go inside for a little while and we planned to go back outside to see if the lights would still be there. After 20 minutes or so, we went back outside, and the lights were still there, but a back to where they were before we went inside. We freaked out a bit and went inside to get my friend's husband, but when we went back out after 2 minutes, the lights were gone.

Using astronomy app to map stars, when I noticed a grey circular shape gliding across the sky without any sounds or lights. I had binoculars with me and got a quick glimpse of the object- it definitely was not a meteor or a plane because I see many of them pass over all the time. The way the object was moving was oddly swift and smooth in a straight horizontal line headed toward VA. It would have been very hard to pick up on as it did not leave a trace.

I was at my Grandmothers house having some fun outside with my brother, we had a coyote caller and we were screwing around with them... if you hit the right pitch the would howl back anyways he went to use it one more time and he didn't hit the pitch right, he and I were waiting to see if we would get a response. He then pointed in the sky and said look, there was tree lights that were like a very light yellow white-ish color, in a triangle formation, they started to move closer and closer together... about a few seconds after they got pretty close they shot up and disappeared, about 15 minutes after my brother and i went inside with terrible headaches and nausea. Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD
