Wilmington, NC
It was around midnight when I heard what sound like a continuous vibration and I looked out my window to see a light blue oval travelling through the sky. It had multiple other lights on it and was travelling at a speed faster than a normal plane. It was not significantly faster than a plane but it was very clearly not a plane it was much bigger. This is not my first experience with UFO'S

Merritt, NC
While standing on porch, in southwest sky, my wife saw a fireball and said look. She and I saw a blue circular large fireball surrounded by red and orange falling from mid sky to the horizon. The object had about 4 separated tail like objects trailing off from the main body.

Dallas, NC
Noticed a white boomerang shaped object very high in the sky traveling much faster than comparable planes in the busy sky. We saw it go behind a cloud, and come back into view with an identical craft to the left of it traveling the same course and speed. They both went behind a small cloud, and literally disappeared.

Hickory, NC
I was fixing a cup of coffee around 6 am, looked out the window and in the northern part of the sky about 20 to 25 degrees above the horizon traveling from east to west was a bright sparkling light. At first glance it was not moving then it stared moving slowly toward the west. I observed it for about a minute before the view was obstructed by the treeline. Witness provides no contact information. PD

On 3/4/2018, while working in my shed, I heard the dog bark. I stepped out the shed to see what he was barking at. As I stood there, I looked into the sky, I saw what looked like a plane/helicopter go strait towards this light and then disappear. I said to myself that looks weird so I grabbed my cell phone to start recording my phone was to low for video so I ran inside I got my wife's phone and ran back out side and started recording. It appear to me that something was shooting at it. I video taped it and at one point you see it flash in a big glow then move. This is the first sighting I have seen. A few nights before that I was picking something up off the floor in the shed and I looked up and I saw a white face with black eyes looking thru the shed at me. I stepped out the shed thinking it might of been one of my kids playing with me, but no one was there but I felt like someone was watching me. When I went back in the shed it felt like something kept trying ! to plull down my pants and seems like something pinched me and I kind of loss awareness then I came too. I felt kind of odd like something had happen I did notice some scars on my hand and back. But I just ignored it.

First, saw a bright white, stationary light in the sky, after a few seconds it appeared to be heading west at a high rate of speed...we were going 75 MPH in a westward direction. It did not have any flashing lights and was not an airplane. The light was very, very bright and FAST.

On Saturday night, around 7:15pm, I went out onto my back deck to grill out. As soon as I hit the deck, I immediatly saw a line of large round orange balls, heading from north to south towards our airport. They were in a straight line as far as I could see. From left to right the sky was full of them, I would say about 15 to 20 orbs, but each was staggered behind each other, all at the same altitude, approx 1,000 to 2,000 ft above my location, and approx 75 to 100 feet apart from each other. As soon as I saw them, I went back into the house and yelled for my wife to come out here, she came immediately and saw what I was seeing. As they flew by the last ones about 4 or 5 of them started to go dim and then they went totally dark, it was mind blowing, they had no sound and were very bright orange they had no red, green or white nautical (sic. navigation?) lights on them. About 5 or 6 minutes later, I called 911 and reported what we saw. We spoke via telephone with this witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sincere, and sober-minded. We suspect that he is a highly reliable witness. PD

Hampstead, NC
It was approximately 8pm last evening, probably a few minutes before. I was coming home from the grocery store and had opened my trunk to get the groceries. The sky was beautiful with bright stars shining - no clouds. I noticed what I first thought might be an airplane flying very high - it looked like it would be flying over the inner coastal waterway and then out over the ocean - just two blocks away. It was moving quickly and it looked like a bright moving light in the sky - kind of like a plane with landing lights on - but it was way too high for landing lights. When I stopped to watch it - curious - it stopped flying and hovered in the sky. I could see it moving around-at first I thought it was turning to come inland, but it just hovered there - like a boat bobbing in the water. I had this very strong negative feeling that I was not supposed to see it and that I should stop looking, so I went into the house. I unpacked the two bags I'd brought in befor! e I went back out. When I went to get the rest of my groceries, the bright like just looked like a start in the sky. I would have never known that it was anything but a very bright star.

Calabash, NC
I was standing outside of The Boundary House restaurant in Calabash, North Carolina. While talking to another employee in the parking lot, I looked South into the sky and where I was looking it seemed to be in a triangle until it began to get closer, I saw two red flashing lights followed by three white flashing lights that seem to be moving together as one but spaced out, both a circular shape. The three white flashing lights seemed to be in a triangle and the white lights were placed two in the front one in the back. As the unknown source(s) passes over me and the employee’s headgoing north, slowly, the red flashing lights were still in front of the three white flashing lights. This event lasted for about 10 minutes until it passed over the trees where I could no longer see it.

Roanoke Rapids, NC
I was sitting in my chair watching TV and talking to a friend of mine I just hung up with on the phone when the lights appeared over the tree line coming from the town of Roanoke Rapids they lights popped on really bright had 4 red lights small and moving around it and almost like a triangle pattern the bright lights the three white yellowish lights in the middle or oil type together and they were extremely bright as they passed over my house they lit up my entire yard at the time I couldn't get up out of my chair because I have a bad leg to observe it from outside. My next door neighbor said she heard it fly over and it was extremely loud I didn't hear any sound. It flew off in the direction of the old airport that we have here. The three lights in the middle seem to be extremely large about the size of a blimp Maybe but the little red lights on the sides and around it did not seem like they were attached to the object at all it will moving independently.

After picking up my kids, I parked the car in the parking lot to get a better look at the planes. This was about 3:12 p.m. The "plane" closest to us looked to be right overhead, and looked white or metallic and very bright. It was spraying a chemtrail and then it ran out of spray and continued flying in a straight line heading back into the blue sky over the school. I thought it looked more like a TUBE than a plane. It also was low enough that I would have expected to hear an engine noise, but it was silent. I looked away for just a few moments to get my camera phone from the car. My 14-year-old daughter, in the meantime, had her phone camera and was snapping shots. When I looked back up at the sky, the "plane" had completely disappeared and was nowhere to be seen in the expanse of the blue sky. It just vanished. With 3 kids in the car, I started to drive home, and on our way, saw several other "planes" in the sky--I counted about 6 of them in the distance, in close proximity to each other, all spraying straight chemtrails. I pulled over to the side of the road to observe them and pointed them out to the kids. I asked my daughter to get shots of the many planes, but she was unable to capture the shot with all of the planes, but she did get the chemtrails in criss-cross patterns. With the kids in the car, and very astonished, I decided to drive around the corner block and return to the point where I could view the planes again. It took us no more than 2 minutes to drive around the block to the same spot. By then, every single plane had completely vanished, just like the other one. This was simply not possible. We caught the photos and now see that the vehicle closest to us did not look like a plane, but a SHINY, METALLIC, TUBE WITH OVAL SEGMENTS IN AN ANT-LIKE SHAPE and there seems to be some kind of black tubing wrapped around the side.

Saw several circular or ball-shaped objects which appeared to be stacking up on each other and moving together. As we watched we saw a couple come out of others that were already present and separate. There were military helicopters circling the area within a couple miles, but not too close....so they were definitely aware of the event.

We see what looks to us to be a reflection off the inside surface of a windshield or side window. We expect to speak with the witness at greater length. PD

At about 22:45 last night the power went out in my entire apartment complex. I decieded to look outside and a bright light caught my eye. It was white in color and it was moving just enough to look like it was just hanging there floating around. I called two of my roomates to also look at it and they agreed it was moving but dissmissed it as a plane. However, it was not moving nearly enough to be a plane it was in the same area the entire two hours. Eventually I look outside around mid night and it was gone.

Mooresville, NC
Let dogs out to go potty at 12:25am on New Year's Eve and was immediately shocked to see 3 very bright lights flying in a V formation over Lake Norman in NC. The lights were too large and too bright to possibly be any commercial aircraft and they were in a specific V or Triangle, flying faster than possible by airplanes. It was also massive in size, could not be a drone. They suddenly disappeared. I was in shock. This morning, I Googled to see if anyone else had seen the same thing and found videos from the Charlotte Observer that people had captured over NC about a week ago, 12/17. The videos show the exact same thing I saw last night.

I was looking out of my window and saw what was clearly a plane with a short lasting contrail following the plane. I was inside so I’m not sure if there was a clear sound. Either way it looked like a normal plane. I first noticed it flying out of the southwest and it continued to fly into the northwestern part of the sky. Suddenly, I noticed a second flying object and it wasn’t leaving a contrail, it just flew into the area i happened to be looking at from a lower altitude. The second object appeared white but it may have been a different color since stuff up high usually looks lighter than what it really is but it looked kinda like a pill shape and continued to fly into the contrails of the airplane quickly. It wasn’t flying abrutly but it was making maneuvers that I think would be difficult for a plane to make. Then both of the objects moved out of my line of sight.
