Aug 8, 2019. Where: Prince William Sound, (Port Fidalgo) Alaska Title: Intelligent Light in sky disappears when spotted by observer Duration: 3 minutes Exact time: 11:57pm to 12:00am Weather Conditions: one low lying wispy cloud, slight sunset still on horizon. Few bright stars starting to show. Still night with no wind. Event: I witnessed a bright red/orange light rise up from on top of Bligh Island to my west from my bedroom window. It took 60 seconds to raise up to a stationary position and hovered for 2 mins., then “blinked” out. My cousin also witnessed this from a different vantage point. The light was very bright and seems to be recurring each night. I’ve put out a game camera at to capture 20 second time-lapse intervals to see if it occurs at the same time every night.

Apologies if the previous report was sent twice. Regarding the latter, I witnessed a nearly identical uap to the one witnessed last night. The trajectory and apparent velocity were the same however the flash frequency was about 60 s rather than 22 s. i.e. the object flashed 5 times tonight and 11-12 last night. Direction was nw. Flash brightness was constant from zenith to mountainous horizon. This is not possible with a rotating satellite unless its axis of rotation is changing with my location as tangent wrt the sun. . This is exceedingly unlikely. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was washing my father's Jeep, he recently had a stroke & asked me to clean it for him, we ran to the car wash.. This was a bit before 8:00pm. After finishing washing the Jeep, my partner & I drove out behind NAL (business in town) to drive down the road & dry off the majority of the water. I stopped the Jeep before the end of the road, under a streetlight, to get out & finishing drying it off with a towel. When I was almost done I noticed a VERY bright object up in the sky (circular but bright), towards the east. At first, I figured it was an airplane or helicopter but the object was moving in too many directions for an aircraft(bobbing up & down, but moving left to right far too quickly for a plane). I yelled for my partner to look & when he got out of the Jeep he said it was probably a drone, but I’ve never seen a drone with a hazy orb around it. We couldn’t tell if the bright object was very far away or somewhat close. As I told my partner to go get his phone, to take a video it became I creasingly brighter, & the color changed from a bright white to what almost resembled fire. The object seemed to shoot off in a matter of seconds to the North & left a small faint trail of yellow light behind where it originally shot off. We heard the noise of cars on Main Street & the Jeeps engine running. There was no loud boom, like a jet breaking the sound barrier. I have never believed in aliens visiting Earth (UFOs), and to be honest, I still don’t know what we saw. After witnessing whatever this was we were both were confused & just laughed about it. My partners bestfriend is married to a police officer, so we called to see if he was on duty, he was, & to see if anyone else had reported this weird light in the sky. He thought we were joking & after we explained what happened he told us that it was probably an airplane headed back to the airport or something from Scott Airforce Base. Again I don’t know what we saw, but I know it wasn’t a drone or airplane. Maybe it’s something else & you’re sites employees can answer what it was? We are both scientifically minded, educated adults with good careers & don’t want people thinking we are crazy, but we have gone from confused to almost scared by what we witnessed. We just want an answer. Ps. We didn’t know there was a hotline until coming home & researching what happened & finding your site.

Collierville, TN
Driving home on I- 269 east of the city of Colliervile, Tn, I saw in the distance several brilliant white lights that seemed to flash on and off. I started watching closer and noticed there were two cigar shaped objects the lights were coming from. There were five lights on each object in a horizontal row. These objects moved independently of each other and seemed to be hovering below the cloud layer. When I rounded the curve there were some trees that blocked my view. After the trees, I looked and the two objects had disappeared.

Just as the storm begins to pass over right on the edge was a craft hovering in the cloud of the storm slowly moving in a strange pattern then forward and backward then away from the clouds it was almost cloaked which the rain in the cloud was allowing you to see the shape of it !!

Was on way to test for probation at 625 am. As I headed down my normal route on state fair drive notice what looked like a plane with no tail shoot across sun rise. As I headed west down road noticed it was closer then I realized it stopped and was floating about 200 feet above me and was a black v shape craft with 5 lights. It stayed in one spot at I watched it. No way this was a drone or plane.

The group I was with consisted of myself and two others. All of which are of sound mental capacity and were ages 19, 19, and 18. The sky was clear with very sparse cloud cover. A local trainyard (BNSF) is nearby and it's lights are bright enough to dim stars in the area. At around 1:00 AM, while looking up at the sky, all 3 of us spotted a brief but mostly clear display of light in the sky, here are the key details; Dark colored cylindrical to rectangular body/"fuselage" with parallel blue lights on either side. The lights left a bright trail for approximately a half second. The UFO/UAP seemed to be traveling northwest. The lights and object appeared for about one second while moving southwest. The object appeared to be about 100 to 300 feet above ground. We were situated on the north bleachers and were attempting to observe stars. This is all I can remember but even after two years the sight is burned into my memory.

We have several sets large windows in our bedroom And we are located around 1100 feet up on a Ridge. During early hours of the night on 8/7 into 8/8 bright lights kept shining through the curtains into our bedroom. At first I thought it was traffic going by but after it kept waking me up I stood up and open the curtains to see where it was coming from which is when I found out it was coming from my sons car outside in our driveway. His car lights kept turning on and then off sometimes it only lasted a couple of seconds and sometimes quickly flashed on and off. As I looked to the south west I could see behind the tree line moving blue red and white light. My husband woke up to ask what that was all about and I told him and luckily the lights like a craft and then on the car lights again so I sent husband down to see if our son was doing something with his car but my husband went outside and looked around the house and found our son sleeping so he didn’t wan! t to wake him up to ask him. This morning I ask my son if he was doing something with his car last night and he said no and I asked him if he was maybe rolling over on the key fab and he said no the key fabs battery was dead. This flashing on and off of car lights happened several times during the night so I didn’t sleep much there was nothing else I didn’t get up and keep checking outside like I wish I would’ve but my husband gets very irritated when I wake him up but I believe he was even spooked by this incident. Altogether there were three lighted moving objects spotted that were lit up in the sky no other which seemed very close ad very bright there were no other stars in the sky it was cloudy. We’ve had several spotting out here before but nothing like this.

Port Fidalgo, AK
Aug 07, 2019 Where: Prince William Sound, (Port Fidalgo) Alaska Duration: Approx. 5 minutes (total) Exact Time: Approx 11:50pm-12:05am Weather Conditions: Few low lying wispy clouds, lots of stars. Still night with no wind. Event: I’ve documented an intelligent light on three other occasions and wrote a report 4-12-18 on the second sighting last year. I’ll post the first and second encounter below. Over the winter of 2018/2019 I set out a game camera to take a photo every hour to try and capture the recurring light that seems to appear in the same location during the night and disappear when seen. I was able to capture what I believed to be the light but the camera does not take the best low light images. Last night I was waiting for the northern lights to come out to photograph with a couple of guests staying with me when a light appeared over Blight Island to the west while we were sitting around a campfire (fire nearly out by this time and a few stars starting to shine). I immediately got excited and pointed it out to the guests where they confirmed on seeing it as well. It formed starting a small light and got brighter turning a red/orange color. The guests commented that the light was pulsating. About 40 seconds had gone by and I told them to keep their eye on it and ran to the office to get my camera with a telephoto lens. As I ran up and turned the lights on to the lodge deck/office I heard them yell that it disappeared (approx. saw it for 1 min). I grabbed my camera and came back and the light was gone. They said as soon as the lights came on the light “blinked” off. At the same time I was walking down the steps off the deck my cousin walked around the corned! to join the campfire and asked what was going on. We told him and after a few minutes of excitement of what just occurred he walked back to his room to get a camera. I along with the other 2 guests sat back down to wait for it to get a little darker in hopes to see the northern lights when the light again appeared again in the exact same spot. I spoke up to say there it is and watched it for about 10 seconds. The other two guests see it as well for another 10 seconds when it slowly starts to disappear and doesn’t get as bright as the first time. Just then my cousin walks up and misses seeing it a second time. We sit out for another hour but don’t see anything else. My cousin and I walk to another cabin and look one last time in the general direction when I spot the light start to form again (approx. 1:30am). As I point it out and grab him by the shoulder to look, it “blinks off” as I call out its location. We wait for another 15 mins but decide to go to bed after ! this. The next morning, I remember that I still had my game c! amera ou t and check to see if the light was captured. Sure enough it was (low quality). But I can now show where in location of the sky it forms and circled it in red for others to see where to look. I believe this is recurring light similar to the Martha lights in TX. But with an intelligence. I’ve seen it over several years now starting in 2016, always in the same spot. Sept 13, 2018 Where: Prince William Sound, (Port Fidalgo) Alaska Title: Intelligent Light in sky disappears when spotted by observer Duration: 1 minute Exact time: 1:37am Weather Conditions: Clear sky, lots of stars. Still night with no wind. Event: I live in a remote part of Alaska and host fishing and hunting guests when a couple of hunters went missing and I had to call the coast guard to find them. As the coast guard chopper came into view they started to search to the west of where we were. As I looked up the coastline from our dock, I watched the chopper looking into different bays and I would run back to the main office (150’) where 3 other people were helping coordinate and to talk to the USCG by phone. As I was running back and forth a bright light appeared out of no where above Bligh Island to my west. I had seen this light earlier in the spring (documented on nuforc last year 4-12-2018) and wanted someone else to see the light before it disappeared. I was afraid to call out from the dock and thought it might disappear and remembered not to focus on looking directly at. After a few moments of not being able to get anyone’s attention in the main office, I looked directly at it to get a better view! and POOF it disappeared. I then focused on the situation at hand and we would later find the two hunters safely camped out on a beach who decided to just spend the night in the outdoors without telling anyone. Aug, 2016 Where: Prince William Sound, (Port Fidalgo) Alaska Title: Intelligent Light in sky disappears when spotted by observer Duration: 30 seconds Exact time: approx. 11pm Weather Conditions: Few low lying wispy clouds, lots of stars. Still night with no wind. Event: I was sitting across from a young man (guest) around a campfire when a light came into view and my first impression was that it was an airplane flying at high altitude that the sunset was hitting lighting it up. Upon pointing it out to the guest he had already spotted it as well and as we both focused on it, it suddenly “blinked out”. We both thought, “boy that was weird” and never thought again about it. This was my first encounter seeing this light.

I was sitting on my balcony with my dad and his friend. I was looking at the stars during a conversation and I decided to look through a tree and I saw a small circle in the distance. It was a dark grey and it’s at night. The circle moved across the sky insanely fast. Way too fast for a plane. It didn’t have strobes on either so it couldn’t be a plane or drone. I yelled and pointed and everyone looked we watched it fly across the sky, right over the tree line

As an avid skywatcher since birth (51 hrs), I take pride in my recognition skills concerning flying objects. While relaxing on my back porch after a long day of work I noticed what appeared to be a flashing satellite. The trajectory was circumpolar and velocity was consistant with average satellites. The object was first noticed at the zenith. The first flash was of approximately -6 magnitude brightness and lasted 3 seconds. So far this seemed normal for a rotating solar paneled satellite. Every 22 seconds the object flashed at a consistent magnitude until it disappeared over the northern horizon. The odd thing is the flashing was consistent brightness as though the light was radiating all directions. Normal rotating satellites will flash at most twice before the change in orbital position relative to the observer makes the solar panels flash to a single spot on the earth's surface. The next flash would be hundreds of miles away from the observer one would think. This is the first time I’ve seen this phenomenon and have seen thousands of satellites in my skywatching. This is my 23rd unexplainable sighting of aerial phenomena. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Tiny grey transparent “airplane” which looks like no other I’ve seen drew my attention. It disappeared totally behind a wood light pole when it flew, from my vantage, behind it.

I was taking pictures of my kids playing on the beach with thunderstorms in the background. Object showed up in pictures was not visible at the time they were taken. Top left corner in photos. Other photos taken at same time did not have these objects so I know it was Nova smudge.

On August 6th, 2019, at approximately 2:30pm, my daughter and I saw a long, completely white tube-shaped craft flying horizontally in the sky. After a few moments of noticing the craft, it seemed to refract light and become nearly invisible for a few seconds. It came back for approximately 10 additional seconds before flying into a cloud and disappearing. We were no longer able to see or locate the object again after continuing to search visually for 10 minutes. I am a mom of 4 children, own a business and am well-educated. My daughter recently turned 18 and graduated high school. Neither of us have ever seen anything like that before.

at 9:57 am eastern, i witnessed what appeared to be a ball or disc shaped craft directly above me at 28.087863 -81.971158 or near 1024 lakeland park center drive in lakeland, florida . the craft appeared to shimmer or spin and moved slowly east. i watched it for about 5 to 7 minutes. i also saw to the west, regular air traffic and could make out a shape so i know what i saw was not a conventional aircraft. the vehicle moved slowly above a very light cloud and never reappeared as i watched for 20 more minutes in almost totally clear skies. the vehicle appeared to be metallic and silver or a very reflective white in color and did not appear to change shape.

Harriman State Park, NY
I proceeded to pull over immediately after sighting this and confirmed with my 3 passengers that we were all seeing the same thing. Everyone confirmed. The moment I turned my headlights off, the 3 craft, still in formation, increased their altitude suddenly, then proceeded to move to the west at an incredible rate of speed. They went from zero to what seemed like thousands of miles per hour in the blink of an eye. As they moved west they gradually increased altitude until they were no longer visible. The total time we watched this was 4 minutes, so at 23:39 the event was over. I am a former EMT/Paramedic, the 3 people I was with were 1. Retired NYPD Sergeant, 2. A Trauma/ER Nurse and 3. Former US Marine Force Recon Soldier, all of us I firmly believe are very credible, reliable and completely sane. Nobody was under the influence of any drug or alcohol. I had an experience in Harriman State Park approximately 20 years ago, but I was by myself so never reported it. In that instance I saw a glowing green light about 5 feet over my car (I could see it through my sunroof) speed past me very low to the ground at an alarming rate of speed, then took off into the sky and disappeared. I'm completely skeptical, but I do know what I saw on both occasions and am really glad I wasn't alone this time. If you'd like further details please contact me. Thank you.
