Stroudsburg, PA

While pumping gas And filling my tank I was looking around and chanced to look up, noting one large moving black triangle, each point having a small white light. Oddly it also seemed to be followed/attached to a smaller black rectangle. Both were blotting out stars as it moved slowly southeast, toward Godfrey’s Ridge, in a direction toward what we locally term “Cherry Valley.” As it moved on the stars/sky reappeared. It made no sound Time was just after sunset, some light, some stars, some small clouds still could be seen in Western sky. I cannot judge how large it was but my impression was if I held up a beach ball above my head I think it would have been blocked from my sight. I live in the area and am very familiar with flight patterns in:out of Newark, NJ airport and the flight path taken by our local hospitals Med-Evacs helicopters. It was a very busy traffic evening, I could see Route 611 and both eastbound and west bound Route 80 from where I stood and traffic was heavy. So many people were out and about I sssumed I would see a report in the nightly news or the next days paper, but saw no reference or report.

San Ramon, CA

At 7:20PM this evening my wife and I were sitting on a bench in out backyard. I was looking up at the southern sky about 35 degrees above the horizon and spotted a very small but very bright light source that quickly dimmed and brightened as it appeared to be stationary but rising rapidly. My thought at the time was that it was an irregularly shaped object reflecting the light of the setting sun, and the intensity of the light ranged from ‘out’ to very bright. At the same time, however, it appeared to be climbing rapidly. After about a minute my wife was able to see it as well. Again, it was a deep orange color, varied greatly in brightness, was as small as a small star (like half the size of Sirius, but visible in daylight), and rising. I was able to see it in binoculars but only briefly. I would believe it was well above regular aircraft altitudes, and near the height of a satellite, but again stationary and climbing. No sound could be heard. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Austin, TX

Small silver ball object in the sky during the day. It clearly looked like a small white dot in the sky but this was at 10am in the morning. It was just very high in the sky not moving. It was a clear day so it stood out. But it was hard to see it because it was small exactly like a star. Also seen a transparent plane flying high in the sky. It was going at a fast speed and I never seen a plane like that. Only seen the plane for about 5 seconds than I couldn’t find it in the sky after that. It looked like maybe it was flying around or near the object in the sky! At first I didn’t pay no attention because I didn’t want to think it was a ufo at first. I was assuming it was a plane or balloons. 10 minutes later were still talking and I’m still looking at this object above in the sky not moving. I get my cousin to look in the sky and see if he sees it too and we’re looking into the sky as I can see it clearly but I’m trying to get him to see it too because he couldn’t see it with his vision. While I’m trying to get him to spot out the object, I also spot what looked like to me a transparent plane flying high in the sky too, this plane looked strange like I never seen before because of its speed and how high it was in the sky. I got my phone and recorded the other object and zoomed in on the object but it’s hard to identify what it is. It just looks like a white dot in the sky. Obviously not a plane or drone because it was too high in the sky and not moving. We recorded the dot for about 5 minutes as it just stayed in the sky not moving. We lost sight of it and couldn’t find it in the sky. This was a really trippy morning because we couldn’t really identify what it was.

Weddington, NC

Saw multiple bright circular lights in the southern sky. Lights would move in formation. At one point one object remained stationary while one or more of the objects moved around it in a circular pattern. The objects would move toward each other and then away at rapid speed. The objects were high in the sky and several miles away. After some time multiple airplanes arrived in the area moving through the areas where the objects had been. The planes were moving at rapid speeds and climbing at very steep anglels.

Driving during a clear sky sunrise, I witnessed a bright circular flash in the open sky and then it disappeared. Silent.

August 30, 2019 · 5:08 AM · SPHERE

Metropolis, IL

On the morning of August 30, 2019, while traveling north on I-57 near the town of Metropolis, IL, I witnessed something in the night sky. I saw a spherical object traveling at a high rate of speed from right to left (east to west). The sphere seemed to emit its own light. A silvery white light. The movement was perfectly horizontal having no arc. The light was a constant level of brightness neither fading in or out. The sphere was about three hundred feet in front and about one hundred fifty feet in elevation. It appeared over the tree tops to the east. Once the sphere had traveled very quickly across my field of vision and at my ten o'clock position, it suddenly disappeared. It did not fade out but just vanished. At arm's length the sphere was about as big as a shirt button. I first looked at my GPS to see if an airport was nearby, no airport. I observed the time as 5:08am CST. I am a veteran truck driver and have seen many many shooting stars. This was NOT a shooting star. Its trajectory was perfectly linear with no arc or trail. The intensity of light was a constant not fading in or out. We spoke via telephone with this witness, and we found him to be seemingly quite sober-minded and sincere. We suspect that he is an excellent, and reliable, witness. PD

Dunedin, FL

9/30/19 3:45am Dunedin sitting lasted 5 seconds triangle shape, no sound, 3 translucent lights, flying very low the ufo was transparent I said transparent because while it was passing you can still see the stars through it while it was passing it was so low that I can hear it cut into the wind and that's what caught my attention and the only reason why I was outside at this time is because I work the night shift and I vape and it's not allowed in the building to vape because of the residence and I happen to be at the right spot looking at the right direction and I witness this triangle ship passing by

Long Beach, CA

I was out on my usual patrol. I exit a building, specifically, a small gym, here at my worksite. I then quickly look up and right over my head a very bright but silent light passed right above me and descended about half a mile away making no noise whatsoever. It looked very similar to a meteor shower although I don't recall meteor showers flying very close to ground level, below a normal aircraft would fly.

Fairborn, OH

When I first noticed the object it appeared to be low in the night sky as I was driving on 675N it was crossing my truck from east to west. It was a V-shaped craft with 2 white lights on both wings and 1 white light in the front and 1 flashing red light behind the front light. It made a wide U-shaped flight pattern and came back towards my truck while descending, At first, I thought it was going back to WPAFB to make a landing, but it just kept dropping down and then I thought it might be crashing. But the craft came to a stop just over top of the tree line next to the 70W freeway. It stayed there for the remainder of the time motionless as I was driving past it getting onto the 70W interstate. I stuck my head out of my passenger side window to look at the bottom of the craft and it was in a wing shape and appeared to be black on the bottom. I didn't hear any noise coming from it, but I was in a tractor trailer, so hard to tell if it was making any noise.

Summersville, WV

Looked out the front door at around 11pm and saw a very bright light in the sky that at first i thought was a star. It was changing colors and when I saw a plane fly by it I noticed it started to move and then stopped again. After watching for several minutes I noticed several blinking lights in the sky above a mountain in the distance that appeared to blink at random intervals, almost like they were communicating. They would blink blue and red. I noticed a large amount of planes in the sky, at one point I counted four planes in the sky at one time. I went back inside for around fifteen minutes and came back but the bright light was nowhere to be found. The blinking lights and planes are still in the sky at this time.

I can only remember the way this light made me feel- it was quiet as I rolled my window down as I asked my now husband to stop so I could photograph the strange beams of light. Their strake contrast on the night sky was shocking. The lights were not moving. People slowed on the highway but no one stopped not even my husband.

On August 27 at exacltly 10:23 PM I see a bright ball of light flying around pretty fast. I recoreded it for one minute and I see another ball of light too. On August 29, I see the same thing, but only one. I record it again, but this time I zoom in. It was weird looking. Later I realized I started recording the exact same time, 10:23 PM.

Black River Falls, WI

I was eastbound on I-94 in Black River Falls, WI, approximately 9:30pm, the sky was clear when lights in the sky caught my attention. As I looked up I could see 5 yellowish lights in a perfect line just hovering there. All of a sudden they started going out one by one. As I continued to look up, one started to flicker like it was trying to come back on and finally it did, along with the other four also came back on one at a time!! They stayed lite for about 5 to 10 seconds before all going out at once!!! This reminded me of the Phoenix lights but maybe not as big!!

Erie, PA

Above Ainsworth baseball field.. Thought it (was the) size of (a) 737. Hovering less then 500 ft. Buzzing sound before moving north. Had it been a slow moving airplane it would have continued west to land. Instead object went north at a fast rate of speed. Didn’t comprehend what I saw until about 5 minutes later. Very creepy. I tried tracking it via car. And was able to get one picture from further distance then first sighting it 5 minutes prior.

Beloit, WI

This evening, my husband and I were outside on our deck observing the stars. As we were watching a satellite traverse from north to south, we were surprised to see a very bright, white strobe light flash in the same vicinity, at a very high altitude. About 15 seconds later, it flashed again, having moved only a very short distance in the sky. We observed it flash only 5 times, moving west to east, but at what appeared to be a very slow speed, or at an extremely high altitude. It moved only a few degrees across the center of the sky before the strobe disappeared. My husband has been a commercial and military pilot for 35 years. He was not familiar with any craft that does not either show a constant light, such as a satellite reflecting the sun, or a known commercial or military aircraft with the required flashing white and red lights. He has never seen a flying aircraft of any kind that carries only a strobe, with 10-15 seconds darkness between flashes, and had no explanation for what this strobe could have been.

Ozark, MO

Noticed a bright white object in the daytime sky very high up while sitting on the deck.. Thought it was another jet, but it wasn't moving and much higher then they fly.. Then maybe a star but it didn't seen round.. Thought it might be the Space Station or a Satellite.. Got my Binoculars out and realized only part of it was reflecting the sunlight.. Tried to look at the unlighted part, but it was was a hazy shadow on the top and bottom.. Was unable tell what the shaded part of it looked like.. The lighted part was NOT round but long egg shaped.. Watched it for over 5 minutes..look away to say something to my wife and when I looked back up it was gone..Just gone.. I'm talking only 5 seconds.. I jumped up and tried to find it but NOTHING.. I know something was there because I watched it for so long… Was going to try and get a picture on my phone but my wife was talking to our daughter and I never got the chance to..
