Cortez (north of; on Hwy 145), CO
On July 15th 2019 while on a trip to Cortez, Colorado, heading south on Highway 145 San Juan Mountains range, I stopped and started taking pictures of the mountain peaks with my Nikon 5600 camera with a Tamron 28-400mm lens which equals a 600mm on the Nikon and with my Samsung Note 9. After the trip I had been going over my photos taken on the drive I noticed this black object in the sky on pictures with the Nikon and the Samsung Note 9. With Samsung I was doing a panoramic of the mountain peaks and I noticed in one of the panoramic photos there is this black object. At first I thought it was a bird or a plane, though at the time I did not hear or notice any noise or this black object. With closer inspection and at the distance I was taking the photos, it couldn’t have been a bird I think.. It would have been to tiny. So I’m perplexed as to what I’m seeing in these photos. I have a raw file from the Nikon, and the ones attached are jpg’s. with no edits. I have image information on the exif. Thanks for any information if you think there is something to these photos and I will circle the photos of said object on separate photos.

Ellsworth, WI
My daughter molly and I, saw this tic tac ufo hovering over the outskirts of Ellsworth Wisconsin and flew off to the west, slowly. I was an aircraft mechanic for a multitude of different aircraft, I worked at a naval air test center, no, insignia, no flight control surfaces, no visual propulsion or exhaust. I have no idea what it was, but I do know it's not an aircraft.. Not from this planet anyway.

South Kingstown, RI
While driving back from a beach bar on the ocean in the Matunuck Beach area of South Kingstown on Moonstone Beach Rd, I noticed two sets of odd lights low in the sky. The lights were bright white and in the shape of a slanted wrap around type. One craft was higher in the sky than the other and that one appeared stationary. The second identical set of lights was lower in the sky and closer to me...about a quarter mile from me. The lower set of lights was moving lower and lower and then banked slightly as it came toward me. There was no sound at all. I had the feeling that the lower set of lights/craft saw me as I was driving the car on the rural back road as I drove home, about 4 miles from the beach. The oddity of the wrap around bright white non blinking lights was startling against the dark empty sky and a bit frightening as they were the only lights in that otherwise dark sky. The moon was out but in a different part of the sky. The lights were 'just th! ere' as I rounded a bend in the road. The lower set of lights came closer to me, moving very slowly and smoothly. I could not make out the shape of either craft as that was totally black..only the lights of each was visible. I have never seen anything like it before. The lights were over farmland and fields at that point. I stopped my car to observe but when I saw it approaching me I continued to drive, thinking I would see them as a different point of travel. I lost sight of them as I headed to a more residential area near Rt. 1 and Moonstone Beach Rd. I should have stayed and observed but I was too nervous as this one craft seemed to head right for me. I drove to my home not far away and scanned the sky but could no longer see the. The Matunuck Beach area has been known locally as a 'hot spot' for activity. I have seen several other UFOs in my lifetime but never anything like these two craft. No other lights were visible on them...just the two bright 'halogen' like ligh! ts that seemed to wrap around the craft. I knew the lights were connected to the same craft because as the closer craft banked closer to the ground both light remained in the same relation to each other. The craft came from the west and were headed east. I hope someone else saw them and may verify my observation.

I let my dog out the backyard. While waiting for him to finish I noticed an exhaust trail in the sky. I look at it until I see the direction the source of the exhaust was flying. As I observe the this, an object appears over to right of my field of view. The object appears, moves quickly to the right, and disappears again.

At 23:30 on July 14th. I couldn’t sleep so I whent out onto the step landing to smoke it had rained and I could more stars than usual I was looking to the south west and saw a reddish orange ball appear on the horizon as it came closer I could see a lack band around it . There was only one what I thought was a cloud and this was right over my head, when the ball was about half way to the cloud another ball appears and then another and another til there were7 about then #1 interned the cloud . I had been studying the cloud and could see vertical strips the full width of it the first ball flew into it and didn’t come.out the other balls were flying in A zigzag or staggered formation and other than 1 disappearing from.one side and appearing on the out side looked like they were touching and flew like that for about a min. There was no sound nor exterior lights when the trailing edge of the last object interned the cloud the cloud balls and all disappeared quicker than you could blink your eye

I was outside on my back porch at 2300 hours looking at the moon with my telescope. There was some overcast around the moon. It was clear over the rest of the sky. I sat down to wait for the clouds to move from around the moon. I saw a bright light coming out of the southwest toward my house. There were lights flashing. No noise. I would venture to say it was about 5000 ft up and coming down toward my house. It is turning to a more direct east path and crossed right over my head. I was filming it and taking pics of it with my cell phone. The main craft was elongated rectangle with no wings. It had bright lights at the front and back of it. There were little orbs of light flying around it. The large craft opend up bays doors on the bottom of the craft. It was a very bright light coming out of the bay area but, I could see pipes and structures, beams of light flying around inside of it too. As it passed by me I at first it looked like tail lights on the back of it but, I realized it was different colored orbs floating on the back of the craft. It was not going to fast about 50 or 60 Mile an hour is my guess.

I was leaving my aunt’s house across town going home. I took my normal route. I was turning on the road before my neighborhood and I saw a bright light and the cars in front of me hit the break lights. I slowed down and saw something REALLY bright. It was too bright for headlights or helicopter or planes. I stopped tried to record it but my phone died instantly and my screen in my car went out at the same time because my music stopped. It wasn’t making any noise at all. My car didn’t die but everything just got weird. It was super bright and was hurting my eyes. I just was scared because it was just super bright, lighting up only my car and nothing around it. It moved towards town and then started turning up straight like a rocket but the light was still shining bright. I started to drive slowly towards home and then the real odd stuff happen it shot directly upward fast as hell! I wanted to tell my wife but I knew she would make fun of me. I’m not sure if! it had anything to do with it but my dog was standing starring really hard at my car which is definitely not him at all. Please tell me I’m not crazy.

Siesta Key, FL
On 07/14/19 near 2220 hours at Siesta Key on the West coast of Central Florida, I was sitting outside in a chair in the courtyard of a single story resort. The area is mostly dark, unlit, with only a few area street/building lights. The sky was clear and there were about three puffy storm clouds nearby but all out over the Gulf or Mexico and to the South of my location. It was a typical Florida summer night, hot and muggy with little to no wind and almost a full moon. I had a clear view of the sky straight ahead and to my left. To the right side of my view, the sky was mostly visible between the sparse tree branches/leaves of a 15 foot tall decorative tree. I noticed through the foliage of the tree was a very bright fiery orange ball. It was at approximately a 45 degree angle in the sky from my seated position. The object was as intense as the flames typically seen coming from rockets after leaving Kennedy Space Center. However, this was not an oblong flame, it appeared circular. The object had the same orange intensity on all sides and across the middle. It did not appear that any side was more or less lit up as it slowly moved across the sky. There was no visible trail left behind the object as it moved, no blinking lights, no change in intensity and no audible sound. It was moving very slowly from the north to the south almost horizontal. I confirmed its movement by watching it traverse across openings between the stationary tree branches. I estimated it traveled from my view approximately one inch across the sky in twenty seconds. After watching it move for approximately five minutes, I estimated it was approximately one mile up in the sky and about a mile west of my location out over the Gulf of Mexico. Watching the object, I walked through the open courtyard and then into the street to be in an unlit area when the object disappeared over the course of four seconds. It went from its standard full size and brightness to half the circumference and half brightness and intense orange color. Then half of that circumference and a dimmer orange-grey color, then half of that circumference and grey, then completely non-visible. I gave the appearance that the orange sphere moved due West out of sight at a very high speed. I initially thought it was possible a storm cloud had begun to cross in front of the object obstructing the view, but the lonely storm cloud was still south of where the light disappeared. ( Total visibility time of approximately 6 minutes.) I went inside and told the wife and kids of the weird light. I went back outside with the kids two minutes later. At 2229 hours, back in the courtyard we all see it the orange object. It was the same size, shape, color, fiery intensity and distance away as before. It was again very slowly traversing the sky from North to South. We walked out to the dark street monitoring it. It still appeared to be about a mile out over the gulf and a mile up in the sky as we watched it for three minutes. Comparing it to the stars in the sky it appears to be 15 times the largest visible star or 20 times larger than the smaller stars. If a pencil point on a paper was a star, the eraser of the pencil was the size of the orange object. Moving at a very slow speed horizontally from North to South, the light stopped moving for approximately two to three seconds, then changed direction and began to traverse in the complete opposite directions now from South to North at the same speed. Nothing changed with the fiery orb during the direction change other than the direction of travel. We all quickly return to the room and enter.(Total visibility time 4 minutes) I grabbed my camera with zoom lens and rush back outside one minute later. The light is gone and unable to be located. I walked to the beach and find no one with drones or Chinese lanterns. Returning inside I checked the weather website and determined cloud elevation was 6000 feet. When the object disappeared the first time it was half way up in height from the bottom of the storm cloud it was near so the object was possibly at 6200 feet. I estimate the object was moving at approximately 10-15 mph.

Cincinnati, OH
On the evening of July 14, 2019, approximately 9:25 PM EDT, I was driving home from dinner along Cleves Warsaw Rd, travelling west, glancing out the window to observe the conjunction of the moon with the planet Jupiter occurring that evening in the southwest sky, when I noticed a bright orange light which appeared to be moving slowly from west to east. What I immediately notices is that this object did not have conventional aircraft navigation lights, tail beacon, or belly strobe light as you would expect to see on a conventional aircraft. Nor am I aware of any aircraft having an orange headlamp, and having been a student pilot earlier in life, this intrigued me. I was really trying to see what this object was. I continued to drive, until I was able to reach a parking lot, where I pulled in facing south, and I watched the object, travelling at a constant speed, which was relatively slow, my guess would be 30-40 knots, on a steady course towards the east, in the direction of downtown Cincinnati, OH. The object passed slightly south of where I was parked, about 80 degrees off of vertical at my position, at an approximate altitude, my guess, of 1500 feet Above Ground Level. As the object flew past me, to the east, the orange light flickered out, it didn’t just shut off. All through its flight, at every angle, the luminosity of the light had been constant. Once the bright light was gone, I could clearly see a very large black triangular vehicle (perhaps the size equivalent of a Lear jet) continuing its flight to the east, and was able to watch it until it faded into the distance and into the darkening sky (the sun had just set, but there was still quite good light throughout this event). This object made no sound at all. Its course west to eastward took it perpendicularly through the final approach glideslopes of three major runways of the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky airport. There was no encounter with an aircraft as it moved through perpendicular to all three runway 18 glideslopes which run north to south. I do not know what this was, but a few days later at dinner at a friend’s home, I was told that their son and his friend also saw the same object that same night about the same time from a place that was about a mile east of where I was parked that evening, and that he had called his parents for them to go out and look at it, and his parents missed it. At dinner that evening on July 18, there was speculation about a drone, sunlight reflecting off an aircraft, and yet to me, that doesn’t explain the lack of engine noise. I’m wondering if anyone else saw this, and they would know what it was.

Alpine, NJ
The road was a bit hilly and I was driving upward close to the intersection on 9W right before stopping at a red light, when all of a sudden, an illuminating bright light sped quickly straight across right before the intersection across my path and stopped abruptly a few yards behind a tree on the right corner of the intersection. Then surprisingly, a second later, another bright, illuminating light sped quickly just as the first light and stopped right before the first bright light stood. As soon as the second light met up with the first light, they both zoomed straight out to the right and quickly disappeared. These bright illumination lights happened in a matter of 2-3 seconds only. That’s when I realized that I just encountered a mysterious sighting that happened in a split second.

I have been told that I am crazy.....but I know what I saw....it happened longer ago than I should have reported; I experienced an event I'll never forget...I live on 2 acres in rural Sandy , Oregon.....there is an unattached garage about 15' from my home... I looked out the window ; why , I am not sure....but through the window of the garage side door , were 9 to 12 " people" inside, seeming to shape shift....when I got my courage up , I went outside to the metal garage door ,where there is a 3" gap ,and was clear as day , looking at an oriental gal , whom had frozen ,as they must have heard my footsteps on the gravel driveway.... with a startled expression... I about lost it , and ran back inside my home....my roommate called the Sheriff on me, as she saw Nothing... Way more to tell than here..if you take me seriously, I'd be happy to tell the whole experience... But I've tried before , and was not taken seriously.... I even called your phon! e # that is only to be used for immediate sightings, to help me figure out how to sign in to report this....I am Serious about what I saw...please contact me.........((e-address deleted))

Late evening ,I observed 10 or 12 beings...looked similar to human..in a circle outside my rural home..they were 12' away from where I was watching out my living room window...at first, I thought they were people trespassing , so I opened the window, and said.." This is private property !" No change in that circle, until one of them came over to my window, where, at the time, was a bird feeder box...and placed a pretty thick book on the edge...at the same time, in my garage, unattached, were several beings, like they were in a meeting...they came in and out of a 'door ' , where there was no door...there is SO much more to say....Sincerely, Deb.

At approximately 7:45 pm EDT on the evening of July 14, 2019, my wife and I observed a white or dull silver cigar-shaped object move steadily through the sky in a roughly easterly or ENE direction. Remarkably, it had no visible wings, tail, or engines; was producing no contrail; and was utterly silent. By contrast, several ordinary commercial jets that we observed just before or after this object – were all readily audible (even when apparently farther away), had plainly visible wings and engines, and were leaving prominent contrails. Birds that we observed flying overhead at the time had obvious heads and flapping wings, again in contrast to the object in question. If the object was the size of a medium-sized commercial airliner (hard to tell), I would estimate its distance as about two to three miles away. The weather was clear, the sky blue with a few high cirrus patches, and visibility essentially unlimited. The sun was still brilliantly illuminating everything in the sky, since it was more than an hour before sunset. I was viewing the object with binoculars, while my wife was viewing it directly without optical aid after I brought it to her attention. Our sighting lasted roughly 30 seconds, from the time I first noticed it in my binoculars while idly scanning the sky until it moved out of sight to the northeast. The object did not noticeably vary its speed or direction at any point during the sighting. It appeared to have small dark markings at its rear and along part of the bottom. It did not look fuzzy but had distinct outlines. The sighting overall was completely unremarkable except for the absence of any sound, contrails, or visible wings or engines. I was left wondering whether it might possibly have been a small private jet with unusually quiet engines, flying banked so that its wings were edge-on to our perspective (and hence not observable by us), but several considerations argue against that hypothesis. First, we should have heard engines, no matter how quiet, at its modest apparent distance and compared with other aircraft in the vicinity just before and after our sighting. Second, it is extremely unlikely that a normal aircraft would have maintained a bank of about 30 degrees (which is what would have been required to put any wings edge-on to us, given its height in the sky from our position) continuously for half a minute in what appeared to be essentially straight and level flight. Third, if an aircraft had been flying past in an attitude such that its wings were edge-on to us, its tail (vertical stabilizer) would have been plainly visible, contrary to what we observed. Fourth, as noted above, conventional jets that we observed at approximately the same time were all leaving obvious contrails. So, in conclusion, I do not know what we saw, but I’m contributing it to the database in case the information is useful.

Friend and I were driving a friend back home after a bonfire and around 1:00 AM when we saw a orange/yellow natural type light in a cloud and when the light was present you could see the bottom of some sort of aircraft. Event only lasted a couple of seconds but was long and clear enough to make out a part of whatever was in the sky. We were in a suburban neighborhood with no high buildings bigger than a two story house. Aircraft looked like the same height as a plane coming to land. I don’t really know how to give a solid altitude estimate but I would say if it was a plane that low you would be able to make out any spelling on the side of it. Other than that sighting nothing else happened. No weird noises or feelings or anything else of that nature.
