Note: I am an avid night sky watcher and astronomy novice; due to this fact, before publishing this report, and directly after my sighting, I attempted to debunk what I saw, before categorizing it as an unidentified object flying (UFO). Incident: At approximately 23:30 on September 06, 2019, I witnessed a UFO flying at a very high altitude and at a rather slow speed with a NE flight path. When the flashing object first caught my eye, I thought I was seeing maybe a meteor or a falling star; it seemed star-like as it flew closer toward my location. I thought this as I know the night sky during the beginning of fall brings such occurrences. However, because I do study night skies and am aware of certain astronomical happenings, it did not seem likely a falling star or meteor. After I realized it was no star or meteor I looked up flight plans and the flight schedule(s) of my local Meadows’ Field Airport in Bakersfield, CA, and found nothing. The local airport was closed for the evening and by the look of the craft, I knew immediately it was no plane or jet. The object had no “jet” stream, was flashing, the animals were stir-crazy, it flew very close to the ground without causing one thing on the ground to move from its force, as well as the fact that it did not make one sound as it passed above and then beyond my location. These facts coupled with the shape of the craft led me to conclude it was most likely an UFO. I could not believe what I was seeing and rubbed my eyes several times all the while gasping at the closeness and vividness of my encounter. I did not have a camera at the time, but I will describe specifically the appearance of the craft below. Description: Initially the craft looked star like in shape with white and blue lights flashing in an almost aura-like way. As the craft stayed in continuous motion, I began to realize it was a craft of some sort with a seeming flight plan. Instead of star-like, the closer the craft got to my location; I began to see it was triangular in shape and was flashing not only white and blue but read as well. I noticed the lights were also in the shape of a triangle seemingly lining the bottom of the craft; however, it was not until it flew directly over my head and beside me that I also noticed it had what seemed like a second craft or maybe it was the top half of the object, floating above the one below with a tethering of what seemed like a strand of lights which were not flashing but pulsating. The object flew so low to the ground I was concerned as to what might happen as it was flying rather flying rather slow. When the object was in my direct path, I noticed it was dead silent! and did not fly straight as it seemed to drift from side to side sometimes in a half circle and seemingly around obstructions. Once the craft passed my line of view I watched where it would go next and it seemingly disappeared once it hit a certain point by my location. I had a feeling I was to see more that night and I did of which I have video and will submit with my second and final sighting.

Within a few moments we noticed a small plane arrive in the same area as where the craft was and began making circles, as if they saw it, too, and were looking for it.

As we were heading northbound on Hobbs Road in League City, Tx, we saw one single white light drop in the sky. Once it dropped it split into 4 white lights and a formation of red lights in a triangle appeared behind it.

Kenosha, WI
At about 8:50 pm CST in Kenosha, Wisconsin, I went to take my dog outside. Looked up into the sky as usual, I thought I saw a searchlight. Then instantly I noticed there was about six or seven of them. Almost teardrop shaped. Moving around in the sky and then they all gathered into one group. A second later the lights formed a crescent shape in the sky and held that position for about 30 seconds. At that time I ran in the house, yelled for my husband to get outside right away. He saw the lights as I did in the crescent shape. And then they took off in a North, north east direction over Lake Michigan. From the time they started to move after they formed the crescent shape, and we’re gone, was only about a second. There was absolutely no sound at all.

I’m at a football game, marching band, it’s halftime, and a scalene triangle with bright lights and a red dot in the center appeared in the sky, we noticed it appear, then it disappeared a few seconds later, our suspicion grew throughout the night and the lights were too odd to be a normal aircraft.

Now after that we ran our tent climbed inside wrapped in sleeping bags and fell asleep. I dont what time it was or the duration of that sublime experience. All i can say is When the morning came we woke uo to a noreaster fog and rain storm from hell. I basically lifted the whole tent like a pilliw case full of camping gear and dragged it to the car we bith climbed in and drove away fast.

Standing out in front of my apartment complex, saw a white shiney dot moving quickly across the sky, pulled 2 direct 90 degree turns, then continued off in the direction it was originally heading, it was daytime so details were vague, but multiple 90 degrees turns made it stand out, i believe it was heading east.

Something caught my attention in the sky and I looked up and it was very cloudy so the “vessels” were above the clouds. I saw about four flashes of light that must’ve been moving over 1000 miles an hour. No blinking lights, just one fast-moving yellowish green light.

Went out for a cigarette and saw a portion of the sky was glowing red. I moved so I could see the sky more clearly and noticed all bugs had stopped making sounds. I watched the glow for several minutes and noticed it was pulsing in 1 second intervals. I pulled my phone out and tried to record it, but the moment I hit record, the glowing just stopped, and the sky went back to normal, and the bugs resumed making noise agin. I didn't see any ships or objects, but I simply cannot explain what I saw.

I was letting my dog out so she could pee, when i looked up in the sky and noticed what appeared to be a Christmas tree shaped object in the opening between two trees. Confused, I got my binoculars out and zoomed in on the object which was turning on its axis and blinking red, blue, orange, white and yellow lights at the same time. The it took the shape of a ball and the lights went around the edge of the ball. I called dispatch to see if anyone had called about this, and no-one had. They sent a patrolman to my house and to his surprise he saw the exact thng I have described. So not only did I observe it for approx. 20 mins., so did an officer of the law. AND we were both totally sober.

After seeing 4 ufo's a couple weeks ago, my fiance and I have been more diligent about looking at the sky. After he came home from work, I went outside to greet him. He looked at the sky toward the direction of the Missouri River and saw a bright "star". He joked and asked me if it was a ufo. We laughed, but as we were watching the "star", it got brighter and brighter. After a minute, it quickly dimmed and started moving to the east. After about 10 seconds, it shot upwards so quickly, it almost looked like it simply vanished. About 5 minutes after, our dog was let outside. She turned to the direction we saw the craft and bristled and growled at the sky.

On my porch outside, cloudy night NE sky, a light illuminating through clouds like a full moon does when clouds move across its magnificent light, but it's not the moon. The moon is a quarter moon, and is in SW sky. The light was noticed at approx. 9 pm lasted until 9:25. It was stationary the entire time. Then the light disappeared. Went off like a switch. While it was lit it was an intense light about the size of a full moon. The light was never moving at all!

Canton, OH
Pilot called to report a diamond-shaped aircraft that passed directly above his home at exactly 7:33L. He said that aircraft was moving northbound very fast, not a balloon, and had spinning metal panels. He made the report to the air traffic controllers at the Akron-Canton control tower. The controllers did not observe anything pertaining to this report.

Weatherford, TX
On September 5 at around 7:30 am, I was watering my front yard and noticed a bright white strike to the south west, at a very steep angle of attack. I had thought that it was a meteor. I went to the top of my yard to keep it in sight and the strike shrank to what looks like a flame coming out of a white cylinder and that was as long as, my thumb nail is wide at arm’s length. As the Trail shrank the object leveled off and moving west. The tail disappeared and only the white cylinder was visible as it moved, so the house across the street obstructed my view. No photos were taken it happened too fast.

Saw one individual light moving similar to that of a dog chasing its tail and doing figure 8s, then 2 lights moving at a slow pace with the right one moving the same way. All were at the same time.

It was past 10pm MST and I was outside on my patio watching sky via binoculars. Visibility was excellent! Noticed rectangular shape object hovering over city at altitude 500 ft ? Object then moved slowly south without making any sound whatsoever! I could see its dark grayed bottom (via binoculars) and a part of a side. I think there seems to be light on its side but I cannot confirm that. Object stopped for a moment then accelerated and very smoothly moved from north to south. We have a small airport few miles away but this was no plane or drone. It had no wings, lights or visible engines. It was flying directly above me and I couldn't get a full view of it (due to my position). I estimate its size to be at least 100 ft long and 30 ft wide if not bigger! Object disappeared into the darkness of the sky and trees…
