Magee, MS
I was leaving my house and saw a bright orange object behind trees that looked like the bottom half of moon lit up. I drove through town and continued seeing it behind trees. I reached a clearing inside the city at a parking lot where I could clearly see the object. It was a glowing oval shape with the bottom half lit up in bright orange. Smooth. It was perfect half oval. After seeing it clearly, it broke up in to “dust/particles” and started floating away before quickly disappearing.

Oxford Junction, IA
I noticed a strange light out the window of my house to see, two very bright lights. I checked the flightradar24 live website Immediately. No flight of any kind were in the direction of the moving lights. Nor is that many houses or large towns in the direction. I took a couple pictures of the one object still in view with my camera phone. I asked the other person here if he'd seen anything like it before, "no, nothing like that". I inturn grabbed the binoculars and seen a fuzzy, cigar looking craft with very bright lights on the corners of it. There was two very bright amber lights one white and one blue changing between red. The distance of the object was around 1.5-2 miles away at an altitude of approximately 1500 feet. The two German shepherds we have instantly had the hair on there backs stand up, got extremely defensive, and started shaking.

Saint Johns, FL
On our nightly walk at 20:05 EST in Saint Johns, Florida (32259), we saw a very fast moving, white light strobing flying object, there were no other colors witnessed. There was no sound and it was traveling at approximately 100 feet from the ground, east toward the Atlantic ocean. We live in the area of Naval Air Station Jacksonville, and can tell the difference between planes and helicopters. This object was moving too fast to be a helicopter, and made no sound at all. It also did not have any other lights to indicate a plane flying at night. The other 2 witnesses have 40+ years of experience as Naval Aircrewman on the P-3 Orion.

Nephi, UT
I was letting my dogs out through my back door (facing south) like I do every morning. Both the main door and screen door have a glass pain on the top half. I opened the main door and before I opened the screen door I looked up into the sky to the south. There was a huge bright green orb that illuminated the whole sky. It seemed like the sun had already come up even though it was only 6:10am. It was about 10 stories high flying through the air like a shooting star but slowly. As soon as it registered what it was in my mind, it completely disappeared and the sky went black. There was nothing in the area it could have flown behind (trees, mountains, buildings etc.) I continued to let me dogs out to use the bathroom and they seemed to be on high alert while being outside. They have returned to normal since then.

Hampton Bays, NY
Big orange orb moving just above the tree tops along the beach coast (West to East). The movement looked as if it were riding ripples of a wave. Very low in the sky. When it got to be directly in front of me (over the Hampton Bays Coast Guard Station and less than a mile away) , two additional orbs appeared simultaneously behind it forming an elongated triangle. An additional orange orb from the ocean side and a red orb from land side. It then moved in formation as an elongated triangle through the treetops out over the ocean. Could not have been more than a couple hundred feet up and never made a sound.

Stepped onto the porch, when I noticed a rather intense light display on the northern horizon. Three amber colored lights, each of them star-shaped, hung just above the tree tops. This was along the edge of the property line, which adjoined the empty lot. Of the three lights, the star in the center appeared as if it were brighter, if not larger, than its companions to the left and right. Orange, gold, yellow, the lights shimmered in the breeze. Although, they didn’t appear to sway in the wind, which was considerably less than it had been earlier, when it was gusty. The sky was mostly clear.

I saw a white streak of light with what looked like a ball of white fire in the front for maybe 5 seconds. It arched upward and then flared up with a vivid green hue before vanishing.

My wife and I were playing outside with our 5 year old when I noticed 3 spheres passing in front of the moon. There was one sphere leading the 3 others. We lost sight of them but then noticed they had just stopped. Then the spheres looked like they were going straight up till they disappeared. I tried to record it but could not see the objects through the camera lens.

I was testing the long range abilities (focus, resolution) of my 300mm Nikon lens in my back yard and took a Photo of a passing commercial aircraft. Later when I reviewed the photo as I zoomed in to see how well I captured the moving aircraft I noticed a cylindric object with what appeared to be a white gas or smoke ejecting at 90 degree angle at one end. I checked the internet to see if there was other reports of such a sighting that day, and found there was a report in New Mexico from a commercial airline (American Airlines confirmed the radio transmission from Flight 2292 to Phoenix) that had seen a cylindric object next to there aircraft. I am attaching the photo I took, it is not altered, you will have to zoom in on the aircraft and the UFO will become obvious. I forgot about the photo until recently when I decided to find a resource that may have interest, so here you are.

Lee's Summit, MO
According to the witness the object was about the length of a football field, black, but angular features, almost like it was radar resistant (stealthlike). Was like a tall building on its side, with each level flat on the bottom and coming to a tip near the 'front'. The UFO was seen about 300 feet above the ground at 39°00'08.6"N 94°23'45.6"W, Witness was driving eastbound at 39°01'01.3"N 94°22'28.7"W. By the time he got to the intersection at Lees Summit Drive and NW Vellie Rd, it had dropped to about 100 feet (just above tree line) and was about 1/4-1/2 mile north of its initial position. The movement of the UFO was like perfect motion, still, no shift in the wind, just a slow decent. It looked like it was going to land at around 39°01'24.5"N 94°24'23.1"W, but who knows. " Maybe it was just trying to hide?" He had his cell phone out to capture a recording, and hit record, but by the time he had passed the object fr! om view, he noticed that his recording didn't commence. "I was extremely frustrated. I can't stop thinking about what I've seen. I've never seen anything like it and can only be described as a UFO". (MUFON CMS)

The object had no lights. But it was white. It seemed to be reflecting the lights from the streets or it was glowing. It had a light grey coloring. It was moving so fast from south to north. I knew it wasn't a bird or plane because of it's speed. It had the shape of a butter knife. Background of the observer: 43 year old man. I'm sober. So no alcohol or drugs were involved. I've never reported anything like this.

completely black (like Maglite flashlight), reflected ground light (glistened slightly like wet but not wet), totally silent, 400-500 feet off ground, moved extremely slow(40mph)NB, minimum width 1200 feet max 2000, length perhaps same (my view looking up as it had already passed overhead was from the (rear of craft?), like seeing aircraft carrier hull passing overhead sideview, perhaps triangular(only saw the bottom rear, height 200-300 feet(bottom to top), it didn't seem concerned that it could be seen (personally I felt as insignificantly as an insect)

A bright ball of light suddenly appeared around 80 or 90 feet in the air above our apartment complex it was stationary. It was big and bright enough to light up our apartment room a block away. It would flash it's light on and off multiple times. Being super bright then 100% pitch dark and it was close enough to is that when it would turn off we should have been able to see a craft or outline of what it was but we were not able to see any thing. It then turned it back on after a few flashes and slowly descended into a wooded area right below where it was hoovering. We waited an hour to see if it would return or leave but saw nothing else.

At 20:30 I stepped out onto my deck, which is on the back of my house, and looked to the south-southwest, where I spotted what looked like the full moon behind a thin layer of clouds, bright but somewhat diffused. It was fairly low in the sky, about 7 to 10 degrees above the horizon. I recall cheerfully greeting the moon with a ‘hello, moon’, a habit I have when it is particularly bright, which is why I took note of it later, when it disappeared. It was there for at least the next 5 minutes, then I went inside. On that night, the actual moon was in waxing crescent, with only 20% illumination, which I saw when I stepped back outside an hour later. No trace of the ‘full moon’ was visible, only the proper crescent phase. The position of the large, white glowing disk was far lower in the sky than the orbit of the moon is currently following, as well. It made no sound, had no color except for the pale glow the moon sheds, and did not flicker or move while I obser! ved it.
