Morrilton, AR
Three of us were traveling home from a weeklong trip to Florida. We were passing through Arkansas (heading home) and contemplated staying at a hotel in Morrilton, Arkansas, because we were extremely tired from already having driven over 10 hours. At approximately 12:45am, As we pulled into a hotel right off the Interstate I-40, we looked up in front of our car to notice a strange floating object in the sky. It sounded like a faint helicopter. But, to our surprise it was not a helicopter. It was about 40 feet long in length and appeared to be aluminum colored and cigar-shaped… with the front part being a rounded point and the back part being flat. This object did not have any wings or propellers. Not sure how it was a gradually going by us at a slow speed in the sky. It was barely higher than the hotels around us, probably around seven stories high. We were quite exhausted but continued to watch it for a minute or two. This cigar shaped object was traveling northwest to northeast. We never noticed it, but all of a sudden it appeared right in front of us. We were observing through the front windshield of my vehicle. The exterior, again, was a silver aluminum look. It had a revolving spotlight towards the front and some sort of red box underneath the front of the object. The object crossed over Interstate 40 a few blocks down, then floating (almost like a blimp) in the sky in the same spot while doing a complete 360° turn in place. This activity happened right behind the Hampton Inn hotel. After having already been in our vehicle (on a very long road trip), we were too tired to think about taking a picture or video. We first just assumed it was helicopters… then, we were trying to figure out what it was when we saw it so closely go over us. After that encounter, we pulled back onto the interstate and drove to the next city to rent a hotel room, instead of staying near that strange encounter in Morrilton. When we returned to our hometown, about two hours northeast of that location, we discovered that my son‘s best friend had seen the same occurrence in our area the same same night. We were unaware that they were UFOs that were not sphere shaped or “flying saucers”. We had no idea that other sightings have been reported of the cigar shaped flying object.

Summerville, SC
My sons were in the yard. They saw this gold- illuminated, flickering but not flashing, as if made of fire. No other lights....pure gold light. Moving quickly at first, then slowed and decreased altitude, then disappeared over the treeline behind our home. There was no sound whatsoever and I think at the decreased altitude, we would have heard some sort of sound. We heard nothing.

Eastport, ME
This is a UFO report for three consecutive-nights, July 22nd, July 23rd, and July 24th, 2021. At approximately 10:00 PM to 1:00 AM the next morning, each night, I (a licensed pilot) and another witness (a college student), saw the following described single object in the Eastern sky at an estimated 5,000 foot elevation or 30 degrees above the horizon, over the water and New Brunswick, Canada near Eastport, Maine, the furthest East location in the U. S. The object appeared to have five extremely long spokes like a wheel or the bottom of an office chair, that were lighted up by multiple flashing and solid colored lights of green, red, white, yellow, and blue and possibly other colors as well. There were many more lights solid and flashing outlining the individual spoke-like structures than a normal aircraft has marking its wingtips and tail with the typical red, green, and white single lights. It appeared to be stationary at times and also to move at will ! very, very fast by darting and skipping around in the clear full-moon lighted sky wherever it chose to go. This was obviously not any known aircraft or helicopter, because it was way too fast in its movements and maneuvers. It continued its patterns randomly for the next three hours until it suddenly and quickly disappeared. It appeared again as a single object the next two nights at approximately the same time, location, and fashion, due East of Eastport, Maine in again, clear nearly full moonlighted skies. These times the same two witnesses saw it again plus three others who were notified and alerted of it by the two who previously spotted it the night before. The other three witnesses thought it was also some kind of UFO, with none of us ever seeing anything like it, and believing that it was not like any known aircraft or helicopter. It repeated the same skipping around, hovering, and dart-like speeding patterns as the night before, only these times a little further to the South. The observations were again during moonlighted skies, so it was very clear. We managed to take a few pictures with a cell phone, but they did not come out very well. We need a telescope to spot it more clearly, and tonight we are going to look for it again. The fact that the UFO was spotted in the same appropr! iate location at the same approximate times three nights in a row, may merit further investigation as to what it could be, in the event that it may be some kind of border patrol operation between the U. S. and Canada, otherwise we are at a total loss to explain what it was. The witnesses who saw this single object included two licensed pilots, a college student, and two others actively involved in business.

Coming home from a birthday dinner with my husband, daughter & grandson, while walking up a pathway from carport to access elevator to 3rd Fl condo unit we heard a rumbling sound and looked directly up to see a large, triangular shaped ship that had a very bright light from the ships center. It was not much higher then our 3 story building. It stayed hovering a few minutes. Us staring at it, & it at us, then it zoomed off. We were shocked and a bit frightened.

Friday the 23rd. It is a typical day, my wife comes home, we joke together about no aliens landing today, (I read that Reddit post, posted a decade ago predicting Alien arrivals in 2021 of July so I’ve been hoping a fraction of it was true). I go outside as I always do after supper, between 6 or 7. Walk over to my garden and instinct said look up. I saw the greyed out or shaded out bottom of three egg shaped craft, (almost Mandalorian, I swear). Surrounded or escorted by a flock of little ships. My mind immediately processed a flock of Geese until I saw the 3-egg shaped bigger ships. Then my mind was blown and the second my mind processed UFO they went POOF! And every one of the little ships were scattered in a 15-mile radius, above us, in front, each side as far as we can see. They sparkled like diamonds in the sky. The 3 main ships had a sheen about them as the sun reflected blindingly so off their crafts skins. Almost a glassy metal sheen about them. The best way to describe the glow or sunny sheen, blinding reflection would be if you stare at a house window and the sun hits just the right angle its blinding, or driving in a city and the sun blinds you with the reflection off a glassy skyscraper, that’s what it was like. As soon as they scattered, I ran into tell my wife. She came out and began to observe them also. Attempted to take videos but we didn’t have the camera set right. I was observing the 3 main ships via binoculars. I could see the, sun on glass window blinding reflection, but could also make out the shaded shape of the craft. There were 3 mid-sized ships as well. I went to view another craft, this one a triangle with it’s rear at me. I could see 3 colored tubes out the rear, skin of craft was darker. No sun blinding reflection I assume because I was looking at the rear. The tubes on the 1st one where a purple color and the 2nd triangle had white diamond-colored tubes. The 3rd looked more an amber but didn’t see it as much as I was lowering glasses as my wife passed me the camera. I took 1 photo, (hindsight kicking myself I didn’t just snap away in rapid fire), but I wanted to get some video. So, I hit video and captured what I could until suddenly I just realized I should go get neighbors to witness. I ran next door to my neighbors and he came out and watched them with me a bit, through my binoculars to, and he dropped the glassers quickly and said one had zipped through his line of sight and I have a witness statement from him. I then run across the street to another but they were not home and as I gave up the neighbors on the opposite side of me had just returned from dinner. I called them over and they witnessed it as well but have yet to submit a witness statement. My wife and I watched it until the last one left, disappeared or shot off so fast we couldn’t tell. They simply began to just thin out across our view of them. After it was all over, we stood shook, stunned, but for me, a lot of things made sense.

Denver, CO
5:30 am 07.23.2021 Walked to Robert H McWilliams Park in Denver and noticed grass “LAID DOWN” in weird patterns along E. Harvard Gulch Trail. Like you would see in crop circles. The grass was laid down in different angles and patterns and followed E. Harvard Gulch for almost a mile all the way to Sr. DeBoer Park and doesn’t disappear until the Gulch turns to concrete and there was no more grass to lay down. This is not the first time the grass has been altered like this. But this is the longest run of it I have seen. Some areas the grass on both sides is laid down while the stuff in the middle of the gulch was still standing. In some areas the grass on both sides was standing and what was in the middle of the gulch was laid down. There are large areas of 15x20 feet where all the grass was laid down. These laid down grasses seemed to happen on both sides of some of the bridges where it appears what ever did this went under the bridge. It looks like a pattern! made by an airboat when it is running on high grass in water. But NO airboat I have ever been on could have done some of what was laid out here. No airboat could fit under these bridges- several of which have barriers every 4-5 feet across - to stop large debris from getting swept through. Some areas the pattern jumped up and was like 2 feet high in the air just barely bending some of the bigger plants over. This looks like “crop circle” type stuff. But it is lines and energies drawn into the plants for over almost a whole mile. I have tons of pictures and videos. After about two hours of documenting, it I got overwhelmed with the energy it was putting off and was so dizzy I had to first sit down and then lay down in the grass of someone’s yard. But I am an energy sensitive. It may not have affected someone else as strongly. I don’t know if anyone documents these things here in America. But it seems those visiting are leaving us lots of clues and not all of them are in th! e skies. I would love an “official” UFO researcher person to c! ome docu ment this event. I don’t know what technology has been created but there has to be something that can read the energy signatures that have been left here.

Peter, I follow and respect your work, have also spoken to you several times over the years. I'm a researcher in the field, worked for ((personal and employment history deleted)) crystal skull researcher. I was driving on highway I-35 Friday night and saw two orb shaped balls of fire hovering and moving in unison slowly to the south of the highway. They seemed to be observing a traffic jam from road construction. It was very brief and gave off no vibe/feeling which seemed to indicate they may have been ours or drones.

Please check the public video at http://www.alertwildfire.org/northbay/index.html?camera=Axis-Singatse&v=81e002f There are 2 objects (one tear drop and one sphere) appearing just after time 11:53 on July 22nd and vanishing after time 2:45 am on July 23rd (today, and they are still on camera as I finish typing this report..). They appeared out of nowhere (the ground), and then moved slowly, from east to west (left to right on the recording). the video is a fire monitoring camera, and the footage is only available for 12 hours... Hopefully you will find this report in the morning! when you replay, the time will appear at the bottom right of the video and you can look for 11:53. Thank you

Point Pleasant Beach, NJ
I was at Martell's Tiki Bar at Point Pleasant Beach on July 22, 2021. It was about 9:30pm. There were fireworks on the beach. I heard someone behind me in the crowd say "what's that?" I looked up into the night sky at about 70 degrees above the horizon. I saw a green circular object moving from south to north slowly. Then it stopped for a few seconds and moved back southward a short distance, then took off quickly to the north until I lost sight of it. At least 3 of us saw it. My friend said that she saw a blue flashing light on it. The object had a green glow but was not bright and did not cast light or beam beyond the circle. It was above the lights of the city where it was more dark. From my perspective it was about the size of a dime. The moon was full that evening and by comparison, it appeared the size of a quarter. It's hard to judge the altitude, but it was not low. I couldn't get my phone out in time to video before it was gone.

Boulder, CO
July 22nd of this year, shortly after 9:00 PM MDT, while standing at a bus stop, on the north (westbound) side of Arapahoe Avenue, just west of 63rd Street, in Boulder, Colorado, I noticed a brightly lit, white object entering my peripheral vision to my left, moving southward. There was another man present, who at first paid no attention, then left abruptly, as though he had suddenly become ill. It was already at closest approach when I first noticed it, far enough above the horizon to rule out the possibility of being a ground vehicle, but I initially had no sense for how large it was, how close or far away, or how fast it was moving. To my eyes, it appeared uniformly white, and so bright that I was unable to resolve any detail other than the outline. That outline included a rounded nose, something like a tail, and several ‘pods’ on ‘struts’, projecting outward, closer to the tail than the nose. I do not recall it having a dark band behind those struts, although one shows clearly in the photo linked below. I’m afraid that I wasted precious moments, attempting to make sense of what I was seeing, before thinking to pull out my phone to use its camera. Explanations I considered included that it might have been an airplane (too slow), a helicopter (no rotor), and a blimp (possible, although a very odd one). When I did get out my phone (iPhone 8+), I still did not think to engage HDR or use video or the burst mode. Instead, I took a series of still shots, only one of which seemed worth saving. In retrospect, I realize I should have kept them all, but unfortunately I did not. That one decent photo I have exported from Apple Photos and uploaded to my website. It is available from the URL below. The object was moving from left to right as it appears in this photo. The timestamp in Apple Photos is July 22, 2021 at 21:15:43. https://people.well.com/user/satyr/acc/images/UAP-22Jul2021.jpeg At the time of this snapshot, the object was already beginning to recede into the distance, headed approximately south-southeast, in the general direction of Louisville, Colorado. The shadowy object appearing at the bottom, to the left, is a street lamp that has not worked in quite a long time. I still consider it possible that it was a blimp, perhaps covered with LEDs. This being Boulder, it might also have been a prototype for some new technology that someone decided to take out for a joy-ride. All-in-all, I am less convinced of there being anything extraordinary about this object than I was by another sighting, from January, 1987, described here… https://people.well.com/user/satyr/755/globes.txt However, perhaps owing to that earlier event, I was slow to say anything to anyone about it.

Casco, ME
A friend of mine and I were fishing on Kettle Cove in Sebago Lake just to the north of Ring Island (the most northwestern island in the Dingle Island Chain). Suddenly I saw a glowing, yellow (i can't stress enough...somehow it was a VERY odd hue of yellow like I have never seen before)...A bright banana-yellow object that appeared to be between 2 and 3 meters in diameter traveling against the wind from east to west at around 150 to 200 feet in the air, directly above the north shoreline at a constant speed and altitude. It appeared to be traveling at something over 100 miles per hour....maybe even 200. The object appeared to be round but had a teardrop effect as if it were a rain drop traveling horizontally and made of light/fire.... The second i saw it i said "Hey, look at that big drone!..." ...As I was saying this i realized it could not be a drone....being so big and close, it made no or very little sound...if there were any sound and not just my imagination, then it was a barely audible "whoosh" like the sound of a light breeze. The air was dead calm that night. The moment i said that, my friend looked up and saw it, and as if on cue, or as if I was "heard", it, in a fraction of a second without changing speed or course, brightened and completely vanished. Neither my friend or I could think of anything that it could possibly be. Here, even if some sort of strange coincidence is what struck us as even more odd...the boat we were on has a very high tech brand new fish finder on board....prior to seeing this object all along that north shore, for the prior 10-15 minutes, the fish finder was lit up like a Christmas tree. THOUSANDS of fish were all congregated along this area....more together than I've ever seen and I grew up on the lake. The screen showed that from surface to the lake floor was PACKED with fish. As if there weren't an inch between each fish...wed been trolling and then decided to cast....I got ONE bite but we never caught even one, which due to the number of fish and lures we were using, we shouldn't have been able to reel in without catching one. A gentleman in a nearby boat confirmed whatever phenomena we were witnessing in the lake on this fish finder....there may be record of this still in the fish finder. The minute the Yellow orb/teardrop was gone, so were the fish. We traveled ba! ck and forth and I think we saw 3 afterwards on the fish finder. I have a feeling that this had to be connected somehow to whatever we'd just seen. The very next night we were sitting on shore about 200 yards from where we were fishing the night before, and saw 3 yellow lights in the water, (myself, my father, and a different neighbor this time) which we thought was a boat which appeared to be traveling north to South in the water about 30 yards from shore. 2 lights were around 10 feet apart with one about 12 or 13 feet in front...we then realized that this "boat" made no sound, and as it passed there were ripples in the water, but not nearly big enough to constitute a boat of the size implied by the arrangement of the lights. It too, suddenly disappeared. None of the three of us could come up with even an idea of what it was. It was traveling between 20 and 25mph. The yellow hue was very similar to what I'd seen the night before in color but these were 3 small (6 inches in diameter maybe) lights. I believe the 2 events had to be connected. Not to make light but it appears ET was fishing along with us that first night! (With apparent major success!)

Punta Gorda, FL
White, tic tac shape object very very high in the sky. Moving fairly fast. I watched from my patio as it flew right above my head. I watched it in disbelief because I could tell this wasn’t an airplane. We live near an airport so a drone couldn’t be flown that high. I could tell the size comparison as we have large buzzard birds flying high above and you could tell the object was higher than the birds. No audible sound. I watched it fly for a few minutes and noticed it would catch the sun just right every once in awhile and looked like tin foil gleaming in the sun. Then it would shift again and be pale white in color again. All of a sudden it vanished. I told my 17 yr old daughter as she came outside and she said “ya right” and when I looked up a new one came from behind me-same shape, speed, height. But it came from a different angle this time. We both watched it until it flew into the same spot in the sky the last one did and it vanished as well. I did go ! get my husband and he came out to investigate and debunk our UFO situation. He was left dumbfounded when several more came over the next few minutes. Again, all from different areas in the sky, but they all went to the same place in the sky before disappearing. Every hour or so I’ve looked up and I’ve waited and sure enough, as I was swimming I looked up and saw a commercial airliner. I watched it for a few minutes when all of a sudden-one of those white things came hauling tail at this plane. I mean FAST. It looked like it was gonna hit it T-Bone style, but it missed. I thought I was going to faint in the pool. My daughter took several videos and posted them online. We figured we better report this because so far it’s been a long day of sky watching. Which also peaks my curiosity of what we can see tonight in the dark.

Saw like a helicopter type thing going low over I-5 but I really couldn't tell if it was a helicopter, that is why I'm saying a helicopter type object thing. I tried to see if there were any spinning blades on top or on the tail but it was going in front of us so fast, in front of our moving car. I did see like a sliver light blinking on it that I could see very well. Just thought I would report this because I just couldn't quite tell if this was a helicopter or a helicopter type object thing.

CE5 Log Started CE5 on Sunday the 18th after viewing documentary the previous week on Netflix. I do a series of 3 long dots, pause, 3 dots, pause, 3 dots. Repeat 3 times and wait. Sunday the 18th=Nothing Monday=Nothing Tuesday=Nothing Wednesday the 21st, my first contact/sighting after 3 days of using my laser. 1030ish. I was about to give up and go inside when an instinct said no, look again, so I did and noticed a beachball size glowing "white" ball of light with a smaller blinking "white" ball of light just a foot or two in front of larger beachball sized orb. I stepped out the sidedoor of my garage expecting to hear rotors from a chopper because my mind instantly processed chopper. I hear No sound, and I can instantly see it was just above the neighbor’s home about 40 to 50 feet in the air. Not way off in the distance as I first had thought. The beachball sized orb then seemed to swallow or absorb the smaller one. They became one. It hovered. It shrunk to a blip and darted to MY right about 5 feet, expanded big again, darted to the left and then poof, to a blip again, then enlarge again, dart right, flash bright and big and repeat that pattern 4 times. I was just about to throw open the door and yell at my wife to come outside and again, an instinct came that was against that thinking, and I subconsciously knew it would not return so I had better keep watching it. So, I turned back to watch it again, it did one more flash big n bright, then gone. Like the white ball/orb of light closed like a door, shrunk to nothing. I instinctively knew that was it, show over, I could go and share with my wife and I did. Thursday=I had the instinct to take a photograph of an unusual triangle star formation just to the right of my outside door. Been there awhile but can’t recall seeing before. I log it now because it will play a role in another sighting that followed. Characteristics of object: No lights on it, so not a craft per se, but it was a White glowing orb. Did not emit object but absorbed another orb object. 1st of 30 plus sightings I'll be reporting. July 23rd being the biggest when over 100 came in broad daylight and put on a show for an hour and 10 minutes! (I'll submit that one next with pic and video). My background? 61 Retired Crane Operator Married 33 years father of 2, grandfather of 3 1st sighting at 17 in 1977, I'll submit that one. Became interested again after all the UFO disclosure lately plus watching Dr. Greer's CE5 Doc. Since I've known of "them" for 43 years I said Hey why not, I have a laser let’s try it. The rest is almost 30 consecutive days and evenings of sightings I have logged, with some pictures, videos, my crude drawings depicting events and my unwavering truth and eagerness to share what I witnessed and experienced with those who want to hear it.

My two friends and I were heading north towards Olympia, Washington on I5 coming from Portland Oregon. We were past Winlock, Washington and not yet at Napavine, Washington. My friend (the driver) said to me (in the right side back seat) and his wife (who was in the passenger seat) something along the lines of hey do you also see that thing in the sky or is that just me. It was about 21:23. When I looked up there were about 6 or 7 white lights that were glittering in a triangle pattern. They were just stationary in the air above the trees forward and to the right of the car. I thought it was fireworks but they just stayed stationary glittering for about a minute while we discussed whether or not it was an airplane. I then thought I should take a picture of it and as I did the lights turned off one by one, or maybe two at a time, but not all at once and then it was gone. I got a picture with only two of the last lights on. About a minute later I took a screens! hot of where we were on the map on my phone. I have never seen anything like this before, I have no idea what it was. The driver and I are 21 and his wife is 22. He and I are college students and she just graduated.

Elmira, NY
Saw the same UFO again, this time 2 weeks apart, roughly. It was located in the same location above neighborhoods in downtown Elmira. It had been silent and in the air for over 40 minutes. Tic-Tac, cigar-shaped. Several lights I could make out, mostly red. The craft appeared to be stationary for the duration of the 40 minutes until it disappeared out of my line of sight. No propulsion, completely silent. The most bizarre was seeing it in the same location as last time I witnessed it a few weeks prior. Definitely not a helicopter or a plane, especially having seen so many in the Big Flats Airport region. I don't believe it was a drone, also due to the fact that in the last five to ten minutes, it seemed like it was moving side-to-side. Wingless,no propulsion and silent from what I gathered. Second time I've seen it over the Elmira neighborhoods in July. The most striking was the changing of lights, almost like a star, but it wasn't high enough to be considere! d one. Interesting nonetheless.

It was early morning, overcast and before the sun had come above the horizon. I was outside facing southeast when I noticed a red circle in the sky. I figured it to be a bright planet or satellite till it moved directly downwards in a perfectly straight line before coming to a hovering stop once more. I believe I may have seen a white light also come from the bottom of the the red circle around this time. After staying perfectly still in its new position for a few moments it then started to move to its left in the same unwavering, straight motion as it had when it dropped position. During this movement trees obscured my vision and I did not see what happened after. The distance I perceived the circle to be at was far but within the cloud layer. To my eye it looked as though it was moving fast during its perfect movement. I did not see anything other than the red circle and what may have been white light from the bottom of the circle.

Was floating in backyard pool, lights off, looking up at sky directly above me. Saw a slow steady bright “star or planet like object” heading from SE to NW. I thought it might be the ISS, and when I later went in I confirmed there was indeed a 6 min flyover that I just was lucky enough to catch. The unsettling part was when the ISS was directly over my head, I could see the stars behind it as it past by them, those stars (4 in this case) actually moved and absolutely “bracketed” the ISS as it moved across the sky. Almost like a targeted object in a scope. So the 4 “stars” were positioned at a (12, 3, 6 and 9:00 position) around the moving ISS. MOVING WITH THE ISS, the stars moved with it for almost 20 seconds. There were no clouds in the sky ( I made sure of it after the event), as sometimes moving clouds make stars look like the stars are moving. At the end of the “bracketing “ timeframe, the ISS moving towards the NW sky and I knew I’d lose it soon…but bef! ore the ISS was out of range, the 4 “bracketing stars” each moved outwards at same time from their prospective compass points (12:00 went up, 3:00 went right, etc) to form a larger bracketing diamond. Keep in mind they just looked like stars (same dimness as background stars in night sky), but just after they widened their bracket, the stars randomly moved in all directions and stopped dead in the sky, meanwhile ISS moved on to the horizon and started to dim. One last look at those “stopped” objects and they blinked out 2 at a time. First 2 just disappeared then within 1-2 seconds later, 2nd 2 blinked out. Couldn’t believe what I was watching and I know what I saw was not stars or my sight being weird. Would be interested to know if the ISS or radar picked up anything at that moment, since I know exactly time and area (based on ISS Flyover time and direction.
