Ilfeld, NM
I was sitting at my computer desk in front of a large window, facing the back yard (north/northwest) at 7:02 PM last night. My partner and I were arguing because a brand-new, expensive hard drive had just stopped working, and lost valuable information, when suddenly it sounded like a plane was about to crash into the house. As I stood up and demanded, "Where is that coming from?!," an enormous plane flew dead-center over where I had been sitting, swooping lower in front of the window and into the Ilfeld valley. It looked (and sounded)like a World War II era plane with three engines (protrusions/turbines?) on each wing. The entire plane was dark (black? gunmetal grey, or dark green?) The wings were at 90* angles to the body as was the flat squarish tail. It was less than 200 feet above where I sat, speeding north, and diving even lower in to the valley below the hilltops. My partner ran to find a camera. We both were screaming, "It is going to crash!" when next we saw it turn upside down. We watched in shock as it pulled up vertically just before the opposing hills and did a sharp barrel roll to the right (east) like it was out of control. Then it dove down into the hills toward the ground. We braced for an explosion. When there wasn't one, we both feared that it might come back towards us, but saw only a white orb/round light that then darted briefly to the left (northwest)toward the base of the foothills, where it disappeared completely. I ran outside to watch and try to see more clearly where the plane had gone. Nothing happened after that, but it left us in a state of excitement and completely baffled. I'm not sure that what we heard and saw was actually a plane, which is why I am reporting it here. If it was, it looked exactly like the old WWII bombers: too large, low and unwieldy to do the kind of aerial maneuvers we witnessed. The cameras in the backyard had stopped working at this time, but the front camera did catch a large black plane coming off the mesa in front of the house.

Mesa, AZ
My 13 yr old son and I were throwing frisbee in the front yard. It was late afternoon, around 6pm. I noticed something really high in the sky and started staring. My son asked what I was staring at, and then turned around and exclaimed, "Wow, that is really high in the sky." We both proceeded to watch it sitting still in the sky, and then after a few seconds, moved slowly, sort of drifting, to our right for a few seconds, and then disappeared. At this time, my son swung back around with excitement and asked, "Where did it go?!". I wondered the same and shrugged my shoulders. The object was round and very shiny, silver looking. It made no noise and had no chemical trail behind it. Very strange...???

Stepping outside of my home tonight I approached the backyard and peering at the sky saw seven to nine lights moving across the sky in formation. When I sighted the objects they were high in the southern sky, they moved northward changing formations changing from a line formation to a V with objects weaving in and out of each other and disorganized at times. The light emitted by the objects was a gently pulsating white light. As they continued northward I noticed a commercial jet in the distance, appearing to be ahead of the formation. It was then that the objects disappeared from sight completely. Around one minute later I saw another object of similar size and appearance cross the sky in the same direction, also disappearing. They were silent.

Looked out bathroom window, saw a huge orange circle it sat on the sky for a few minutes before falling to the ground. Was NOT a shooting star! Way too large and this was orange almost like a fireball.

Brandon, FL
We were driving south on Faulkenburg Blvd. towards home in Brandon at about 21:12 hours. I saw what I thought was the back view of a jumbo jet heading towards MacDill Air Force base on my right over a field. It got my attention because it was so large and seemed so close. There was a large white light in the center, with a small blue light on one side and another white light on the other side---as if on wing ends. There was a small red light on the belly of it and was blinking. However, as we got closer, we saw it definitely wasn’t moving. So then we thought it was a tower of some kind with weird lights, but there are no towers in that area and it definitely wasn’t that, because I saw this thing rotate mid-air rather than turn. It was definitely triangular/teardrop sort of shape---kind of both of those. It reminded me of the jets I saw in the sixties and seventies, only a little larger. I‘ve spent a good portion of my life in and around the military, so I‘ve seen a few. Its nose definitely pointed downwards briefly for about ten seconds or so, not really straight down, but at an angle and there was a long shaft off the nose of it. I saw a flash of dark metal as it shifted and the definite shape. We heard no noise whatsoever. It appeared to sit quietly in mid-air at about eight stories up, it didn‘t seem to be much above the tree line from our point of sight from the road. My daughter (29 years old) kept saying, “It’s so close. What IS that?!” My husband nearly drove off the road into the bushes because we’d gotten so excited, but he didn‘t see it because, well, he was driving. By the time he’d turned around, it had moved in the opposite direction going North/Northwest towards Tampa International, but it had gotten really far really fast without a sound. If I had to hazard a guess, I’d say it was some sort of stealth jet with an odd shape. However, I have never seen a craft quietly rotate mid-air like that or head off so fast ! without a sound. It just didn’t behave like a plane, blimp (wa! s way too fast for that), drone (was too large for that), or helicopter. And it sure was no weather balloon!

Livonia, NY
I am a senior and Lima Christian high school in Lima, NY. I have always been fascinated by space and what could possibly be out there, and tonight I saw something I cannot explain. As I was driving home from a school event going south on Plank Rd towards Livonia, when I caught a light out of the corner of my eye. Immediately I thought it was nothing, until it reappeared directly in front of me. The object appeared as a perfect circle and was bright green in color with a green glow emanating around it. As soon as I focused in on the object, it took off at speeds much greater than any aircraft I have seen and left a green streak behind it as it sped off horizontally across the sky.

Three red lights. The length of several football fields or more! Two on both ends and one in the center. Made no noise what-so-ever. Was very eerie to witness. Saw from the back yard. Wife watched it also. It was being followed by what looked like an airplane as lights flashed red and white from the object in pursuit of it. Other aircraft were flying where it had to be noticed (in front and across the sky). The craft had to be humongous. And there had to be other witnesses. No way did that "thing" get by just us seeing it! Anyone driving down highway 421 or the backroads had to glimpse it gliding by.

My partner and I were out driving at around 8:15pm last night (March 22nd, 2017) when we both witnessed and unexplainable object fall through the sky. It started off with my partner seeing what they claim to be a bright flash in the sky. Less than two minutes later, we both watched what appeared to be an orb of some kind falling through the sky above us, heading south at a fast pace. It was glowing bright green and the emitted light increased in intensity until it seemed to just burn up and fade away, leaving no real trail behind it, or any evidence that it was ever there to begin with. This all happened within a matter of five to ten seconds, leaving us searching for similar objects for the rest of the night. There was no sign of anything ever hitting the ground, and no reports of anything have come up throughout today. Neither of us have ever seen anything remotely similar to this, though I have seen other unexplainable objects they never fell this quickly. Unfortunately, because of the randomness of this event, we did not capture any photos.

San Angelo, TX
From the HEB store parking lot just after 8pm, taking two pictures of the haboo dirt storm rolling into San Angelo from the West. From March 21, 2017, at 8:03 PM. ISO 400, f 2.2, focal length 4.80mm. Samsung SM-G900V camera. Both photos show a group of 4 orbs/spheres shaped objects in a group on the edge of the dirt storm clouds. There is a colored aura around the objects in the second picture. They were silent, and not even seen by my naked eye, only visible in the 2 pictures of the dirt storm front. Both pictures were taken within 1 minute. The 4 objects moved at least 15 degrees and become more visible in the second picture. There was no sound of jet engines or afterburners aimed at me as it appears. San Angelo has a U.S. Air Force base, so it could possibly be stealth technology. We suspect lens flares, caused by street lamp. PD

Southaven, MS
At 19;50/7:50 pm I observed a fire ball Moving thru the air very fast, from almost Due south to Due north.. I was standing in the parking lot of the Southaven, Mississippi Library as this happened, my observation was 1-1/2 to 2 seconds as the object disappeared This to me may have been a meteor or a burning left over part of satellite. No other object or unusual thing was seen after this by me. This concludes my report. Thanks B C

New Orleans (80 mi. SE of; Gulf of Mexico), LA
I am a Chief Engineer on an Offshore Supply Vessel, and the events I am going to put forward are accurate, to the best of my knowledge. Close to 7:00 pm on March 21st, just before dusk, myself and 4 of the crew members aboard our vessel saw a craft that appeared to be five times our 240 ft vessel in length. My line of sight was about 1/4 mile from our vessel. There was a rig behind the craft about a 1/2 mile. I used this to help gauge size of craft. Sighting was approximately 80 miles SE of New Orleans, Louisiana. The scene lasted about 40 seconds. The craft rose up out of the water (Gulf of Mexico) about 40 feet, no water was dripping from the craft. Within a split second the craft disappeared at a 30 degree angle into the sky. Speed appeared to faster than speed of a light turning on in a room. Within seconds it had disappeared completely. I can say for sure that the craft was dark colored, oval in shape and made no sound whatsoever. With as many rigs (2), there has to be more witnesses than just the four on our vessel. We spoke via telephone with this witness, and he seemed to us to be unusually sober-minded. We suspect that he is a very capable, and very reliable, witness. He estimates that upwards of perhaps 50 people, who were aboard nearby vessels, may have witnessed the event, as well. We would urge those other witnesses to submit reports of what they had witnessed. PD

Object was observed in a stationary position, but also seemed to do a very slow rectangular pattern, several aircraft in the area wich help determined object was very far and at high altitude. Object seem to be Northeast of my position or about 053 degrees.

It swooped down from the fog and did a loop and swooped back up into clouds/fog, it had no lights only a dark circle under its belly, the reason why I got a glimpse of it is because when it swooped down the glow of the city lights reflected off its belly, the size of this thing was about the size of a small aircraft and it was about 1200ft in the air and about 4mi away from my location over the hills, like I said I only saw what it did very briefly and never saw it again. It might have been a military test drone, I've heard that the WV air force base in Charleston sometimes test aircraft over the area.

Second, I'm doing this because I believe what I experienced was real. My girlfriend and I stayed at a BnB in the Yosemite area in CA this weekend. On the first night at exactly 3am, I woke up, feeling like I was being watched. Approximately 20 minutes later, the cabin started to vibrate. I'm a combat veteran and I've never been that terrified ever. The following night, again 3am, same thing. 20 minutes a vibration. No sounds, no lights. But the same terrified feeling. I don't get scared easily and I believe what I can see. This experience was a horrible feeling. My girlfriend doesn't remember me waking her up, she doesn't remember the vibration, nothing... I'd also like to add that I did not visually see anything. Something was watching us. Source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

My wife and I stepped outside to see what our dogs were barking at and heard a humming/jet engine sound. (We hear & see jets all the time because we are 10 miles south of BMGR training area.) This was not a "normal" jet engine sound. When we looked straight up, we saw a HUGE triangular shaped something with red lights at each point of the triangle. This thing appeared to be as big as a baseball park (not just the diamond, the stands and everything). It was flying in a totally different direction than the jets we see almost every night training on BMGR. We never see commercial aircraft down here because of BMGR. It's pretty much a no-fly zone. This was the first time my wife and I have ever thought that we definitely saw a UFO (we're in our early 60's). Stealth bomber? If it was, it was by far the biggest aircraft we've ever seen. We watch it until it faded out of sight. Source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
