UFO Summary I have been somewhat negligent in writing this ufo sighting summary. I believe part of it is due to life events, as well as concern whether or not my report can provide any value, compared to other reports I have heard and read. However, this event has periodically plagued my mind for the last two years and I believe by providing this report, and possibly talking to someone regarding my incident, I may be able to find some sort of closure. I will try to be as accurate and descriptive as possible. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. Also, if time permits, I would greatly appreciate someone reaching out to me for the purpose of helping me process this event. Event Sighting: I believe this event occurred in approximately March or April of 2017. The time was at approximately 9:00pm. The location of this event occurred in the parking lot of Planet Fitness located at 1175 Hill Road North Pickerington, Ohio 43147. I was walking into the Planet Fitness to work out, when I happened to look in the sky, oriented in the Southern direction. Initially, I just happened to look up very briefly almost as if by impulse. When I looked up, I happened to see lights in the sky and did not think anything of it. I then immediately looked back down to see where I was walking as I was in parking lot about to cross into a driving lane. Almost instantaneously, as I looked down, my mind recognized that something seemed abnormal about the lights. As I realized this abnormality, I looked back again and became very uncomfortable with what I began witnessing. While the event itself may not seem “spectacular” in any way reading this, I can assure you that as an observe! r, it was a very unnerving event once my mind started processing what I was viewing. As I looked back up at the sky in a Southern direction, I saw 4 lights that I would characterize as a somewhat muted red/orange. It will be somewhat difficult to describe distances and dimensions, but I will try my best. If you can imagine me standing on the ground looking up at the lights, I would say the object was approximately 60 degrees in the air, using the flat ground as a 0 degree baseline. The lights appeared to be approximately 1,000 feet away, in the Southern direction from my location at 1175 Hill Road North Pickerington, Ohio 43147. The lights were traveling in an East by North-East direction, very slowly. From a general observation perspective, I would say they were travelling at approximately 8 miles an hour. The immense uncomfortability in that moment came when I began truly trying to understand what I was observing. As I looked up to analyze the 4 muted red/orange lights, I could see that these lights were moving in what appeared to be exact unison. At first I thought they may be some sort of airplanes very far away. I took specific note of their movement in attempts to understand what I was seeing but again, when I truly attempted to analyze the lights, it was apparent that there was no visible variance between their distance relative to one another. I also realized that it was a cloudy night with clouds fairly close to the ground, and these lights were clearly visible under the clouds. This ruled out any chance of these being distant aircraft. This realization made me believe that these lights were much nearer than I initially expected,and that they must have been been affixed to the same originating object. They were almost directly over a water tower. I became increasingly uncomfortable as I began to perceive the size of the object these lights seemed to be a part of. If these lights truly were on the same object, I would venture to guess that the “craft” was the size of a football field. Oddly, the lights were oriented in a “diamond” shape, in relation to the trajectory of the craft (East by North-East). I will try to explain the 4 lights’ positions using the illustration below. Points A,B,C, and D almost exactly illustrates the location of the lights in relation to one another. Again, in this illustration, the craft was moving in an upward and left direction from my perspective, meaning that the light at point D was “leading” the craft. I could hear absolutely no sound that would be indicative of a massive flying object this close to my location. I also began having the overwhelming and distinct feeling of fear, terror, and powerlessness. While I can not say I actually saw the body of the object, I would say my mind “worked out” the shape of the craft while I was viewing this. I could almost see the outline of a black shape almost the exact shape above, but I cannot tell if I truly observed it with my eyes or if my mind “filled in the gaps” from the lights. At this point of my viewing/analysis, the lights began being obscured by the clouds and eventually disappeared above the clouds. Unfortunately I was so mesmerized by this event that I did not think to take a picture with my phone. Overall, from initial sighting to disappearance, I would say the entire event lasted only 10-15 seconds. However, the event felt like minutes. Almost as soon as the 4 lights seemingly connect to the massive craft disappeared, I happened to see what appeared to be a brownish orb coming down from the sky. With myself still looking in the Southern sky at the same location, the orb was falling from the East approximately 600 feet from me. I will be honest and say I have no idea what to make of the orb. I noticed it when it was approximately 80-100 feet off the ground and falling at approximately 8-10 feet per second. The orb was behaving like, and almost the size of a grocery bag in light wind but something did not seem right about it. The orb seemed too illuminated to be just a bag. Again, it was 9:00pm at night and this object was almost 600 feet from me. There were street lights across the street in the direction of the orb but I cannot see any way how an average street light would have been able to illuminate the orb as brightly as it was. Also, the orb fell to what seemed the ground from a height of appro! x. 100 feet. Logically, it the orb was illuminated by the street light, the appearance and intensity of the illumination would have varied considerably. While there was some variation on the surface of the orb in relation to its brightness, it did not seem to match what one would expect from its orientation to the street light. Also, the surface exterior of the orb seemed to fluctuate. It seemed to have indentations and protrusions that continuously varied in positions to one another, but there were no sharp edges. As the object was falling to the ground, I lost sight of it once it neared the ground and honestly, I did not stay there to see if it reappeared. The amount of fear I began feeling propelled me to jump into my car and “hide” so to speak. I would say the orb sighting lasted approximately 8 seconds. Reporting To Police: After sitting in my car for a few moments, maybe 15 minutes trying to figure out what in the heck just occurred, I decided to contact the police. I decided to call the actual police station rather than 911. As I have written a lot so far, I will summarize by conversation briefly. I asked the operator who answered the phone at the police station if anyone has reported odd lights in the sky. The operator paused for a moment and asked me what kind of lights. Very hesitantly, and with telling telling her that I know I’ll sound crazy, I said “like unexplainable lights.” I briefly described what I saw in regards to the lights. She stated that no one has reported anything tonight, but that an on-duty policeman reported something similar in almost the exact location I did, approximately 6 weeks or 6 months prior. Unfortunately I cannot remember if she said weeks or months but I know she said 6. She said that the policeman had reported the lights, tried to chase them and had ! absolutely no idea what they were.

so last night I was at work (3rd shift) and was outside in an area where there was no lighting. the sky was cloudless and dark as the moon was still on the east horizon and had not risen yet. I looked up and saw a "V" formation of lights. there were probably around 10 to 15 lights on each side of the "V". the lights were all white and were not that bright from my vantage point. I looked to see the body of the craft but could not make anything out as it was so dark. however as it flew overhead it blanked out the stars so it appeared to be one solid object. it looked to be about in the 5-6,000 ft high range and was very BIG. this thing was massive and traveling at a pretty good pace. there was zero noise. being that it was early in the evening and clear and flying over major metro areas of palm coast, flagler, and st. Augustine, surely someone else saw this thing.

San Diego, CA
From the beach in Oceanside, CA, 25 miles north of Mt Soledad (La Jolla), I observed the formation of lights described by "the pilot" in the other report. I was driving down Pacific Coast Highway, when I noticed the triangle pattern of 3 extremely bright yellow orange lights. I drove to a beach parking lot adjacent to Wisconsin Street in Oceanside to get a clear view over the ocean of the lights. Other people there at the beach were observing the lights as well and remarking that they seemed strange. The lights appeared to be 5 to 10 miles off the San Diego coast over the ocean due West of La Jolla. The lowest light of the triangle pattern may have been 5,000 to 7,500 feet in altitude. The 2 upper lights of the triangle formation were not level, and may have been in the 10,000 to 12,500 altitude range. The triangle was large and the lights were much brighter in intensity than any aircraft landing lights would have been at that distance. I tried to t! ake a picture with my cel phone camera but the images did not register. All of us present observed the light pattern for about 10 minutes, then one seemed to turn off. I drove off, continuing Southward on Pacific Coast Highway towards home, and when I looked about 10 minutes later the lights were gone. My thought was the lights may have been some type of signal flares and perhaps the Navy was conducting some sort of training or practice exercise off of the San Diego coast. I have seen signal flares in the night sky at Camp Pendelton and they slowly descend and weaken as they drop. These lights did not descend and were at least 10x's brighter or more than any signal flare I've seen. I've done a couple of Google searches and couldn't find any mention or explanation. When I came across the other report from "the pilot" on Mt Soledad, I realized we had observed the same lights, and decided to file this report. I do not believe earth has ever been visited by "extraterrestrials", I believe there is a man made explanation of these lights.

Madison, WI
I was driving north on Highway 51 just north of Madison, WI, at the intersection of Highway 51 and Windsor Rd. This is about 4 Miles north of Dane County Regional Airport. It was 8:30 at night and it was dark out. What I'm pretty sure I saw was a normal passenger type jet at the same height it would be as if it were coming in for a landing at the Dane county airport, but it wasn't moving. I thought it might be a helicopter at first, but as I got closer I thought it was much to big to be a helicopter, and when I got right next to it I could swear the shape was of a passenger jet and I could see the two jet engines under the wings. It had some red and white lights that were steady, and some red and white lights that were blinking. Nothing really seemed out of place except for the fact that it wasn't moving. I had it in sight for about 30 seconds I guess as I drove up to it and passed it. I turned around at the next exit a few miles down the road and drove back to see if it was still there, but it was gone by that time.

While sitting in hot tub on a partly cloudy with waning gibbous moon I noticed a very large chevron-shaped object moving northwest to southeast overhead. The object had no lights and mostly could only see its moon shadow on the clouds as it passed between the moon and clouds overhead – occasionally could see glimpses of the object between the clouds. The speed of the object was very similar to the speed of the ISS as it passes overhead. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Grand Isle, LA
On March the 15th I was working just off the coast of Grand Isle, LA, on a Production Platform in the Gulf of Mexico. Talking to my wife on my phone, and I noticed red circular lights in the sky, kinda like the lights from a projector from a casino. We are 10 mile offshore and there are no typre of projectors, boats, or platforms that could make these type of lights. It was dark outside and the time I first noticed the lights and when they disappeared was approximately 1 minute. I did not have time to take a picture or film them. I have never seen anything like this before. The light were going in a circular motion then disappeared. I never saw a craft of any type, just the lights. They were approximately 150 ft. off the water and only had the red lights, no color changes.

So, I was driving home this evening, and as I was pulling into the alley where I park, I could clearly see an orange light in the sky. It was nighttime already, clear and the object was very easy to see. It seemed stationary for the most part, until I parked and took out my camera to film. At this point the object began to move from a northern direction towards the west rather slowly and horizontal. I begin filming but could tell the image was hazy on my phone and did not resemble what I was actually seeing. I heard people talking outside, so I just stopped filming and just looked at this object. I'll try my best to describe. It was an orange sphere and had an orange glow. There seemed to be like darker orange lines In the center that made either a diamond or triangle shape. It seemed as though something was in the center. So, as the object moved, I'm questioning what it is, etc., and it begins to fade away. It completely fades and then becomes visible again. It was really odd. It continues to move and does the same thing again (fades out/in) after a couple hundred feet of movement. By this time it flew in front my apartment and I couldnt see it. I walked south out of my alley to see if it were there and it was. It flew at a slow rate towards the west and that was it.

I observed a very bright, shimmering white light far away from me in the sky. I observed it for approximately 10 minutes, while driving down the road. Then, as if someone turned off a light switch, it disappeared.

Florence, SC
While traveling down Old River Rd, away from Florence, a truck driver traveling ahead of me suddenly slammed on brakes and moved towards the side of the road. This movement was caused by a saucer shaped object hovering ten feet off the roads surface. The object slowly gained altitude while moving to the right. We (the truck driver and I) watched this object move until it was level with the trees and suddenly appeared to go behind the tree line. This was directly in front of a large building, that is open, but no one ever sees workers or trucks. I drove this road daily, twice a day. The vessel was around 10-15 feet in diameter, it was completely solid with no apparent openings or windows. However, coming from the right of the center a "L" shaped thing was coming out of the vessel.

I was on my way to work, coming off 565 West via exit 13 for Madison Blvd. I happened to look in the sky and saw a bright, white or silver disc-shaped object in front of some clouds. From my perspective, the object was heading towards my right. My first thought was that it was simply an airplane, although it appeared to be moving a bit fast for an airplane. However, its smooth appearance, lack of visible wings or propellers of any kind, and sheer brightness, made me think twice about that. Having seen and watched many helicopters, I knew it wasn't a helicopter from its shape and the way it was moving through the sky. The object disappeared from my view, being blocked by some trees, and I didn't think anything of it, until I saw it heading from behind the trees going towards my left (again from my perspective) At that point I had to make a turn, which led to the object being behind me and I lost sight of it.

The object again stopped and did not move again for the remainder of the time l was outside. Just before going back inside l saw another one farther away traveling north east a short distance from where the first one stopped. The sky was exceptionally clear without any clouds. There were also commercial planes flying, and l could distinctly tell the difference as well as the objects were a great distance farther in the sky in comparison to the planes. I'm in my late 40's and this is my first sighting. I was skeptical about UFO's until today. l'm a believer now.

Saw a bright light in the sky above the tree line. Light appeared to change colors. Smaller fainter lights blinked around the bright light and the bright light would move towards the fainter lights. This light did not appear to move with the stars and remained in the same area for two hours. My wife and I both witnessed the light.

Cherry Springs Community, TX
On March 15, 2017, my daughter and I were staying at a cabin 30 miles from Llano, Texas, on a remote ranch. I was sitting on the porch trying to capture the raccoons playing. It was approximately 2am. We returned home and I was looking at the pictures from our mini vacation, when I saw the attached photo. The direction was northeast, and the moon was to the far right of this photo, it was a clear night and there were no obstructions. This object was not in the lens when the photo was taken. I have compared it to the photos before and after as well as photos taken during the day of the same spot and I cannot determine what this object could be, I got a chill. Could this be a UFO?

I drive a patrol car for a securiry company, graveyard shift. I was pulling into one of the communities that I hit everynight, and it's located on the side of a hill that overlooks a valley to the hills by San Juan Capistrano. That's where I saw 3 dark orange lights that almost looked like they were on fire. I see that hill across the Valley every night and thought rhat the lights looked way too big, and that I never saw them before and thats when out of nowhere 3 more just descend from above out the black of night looked like fireballs coming down to the earth when they suddenly stopped directly above the original 3. There was a group of about 4 or 5 kids at a park bench about 40 yarda away from me that couldn't stop watching this either the lights just floated there for a minute and then started spreading out towards the ocean. I lost track of 4 of them, but 2 stayed in the first location for about 30 minutes

This experience was played out as follows. My dad and I walked to a large field where we saw the unidentified craft, we saw it flying through the tree line like the trees were non-existent. It was the second time the craft came around that I pulled out my phone to start recording it, but my phone had died, and it was at 60% (my phone could never die with that much power left.) The craft seemed to patrol in the same manner as it circled around the snow-covered field. The shape was very odd, having a trapezoid-like shape with lights at the end of every point. Another detail I noticed was the peculiar hieroglyphic design on the bottom of the craft. The design was on plate with the mysterious hieroglyph etched into it.

While taking the dog for a walk, at University Lake in Anchorage, we headed through a treed trail and on to a clearing. After Several seconds, my Daughter said “dad, look at the lights in the trees”. To the North, I saw three white orbs in the shape of a triangle rise above the tree line. It appeared to turn West, and as doing so, the “orbs” turned into a long thin bright white light. Like a long fluorescent light bulb, but so much brighter. It then headed West and no lights were visible. I opened my eyes wide to let as much light in as possible (the moon was not above the horizon at the time). That is when I noticed the shape, very much like a box kite, but with triangles on top and bottom; essentially an elongated diamond. We stood there for about a minute after and headed back down the wooded trail talking about what we had seen. After about 40 yards, I said let’s go back. I was shining my flashlight on the tree line and my daughter said that if ! we see anything she will record it with her IPhone. Once again, three orbs in the shape of a triangle appeared in the same spot slowly rising above the tree line. This time my daughter took out her phone to record and her phone died. She said it was at 60%. The same scenario as above played out, the orbs turned to one long bright light, then as headed West was just a dark silhouette of an elongated diamond until it went out of view (total time about 20 seconds each occurrence. At this point we left as it was cold. My daughters phone did not turn back on until we got home and plugged it in. it immediately showed 62% of battery power.
